In verse 16, John saw seven stars in Jesus' right Hand. We understand that these stars represented the angels (possibly, the leaders) of the seven Churches (the golden candlesticks) in Asia Minor (Turkey): v 20. These were real assemblies of believers in those seven cities & were precious to the Lord, as is indicated by His position amongst them & having them close to Him (in His right Hand). Yet, as we read in the following chapters, not all of them were pure in His Sight & they would be judged & disciplined. Yet the Lord would persevere with them (as He does with us when we go astray) as He also did with Israel, when the promise was given them, "Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God." ( Isaiah 62:3).
John also saw a sharp two-edged sword proceeding from Jesus' Mouth. This is the primary weapon that Jesus uses to subdue His enemies (maybe at that great final battle). We know that the sword is often used to denote the Word of God ( Ephesians 6:17; Hebrews 4:12; Revelation 19:13). And God's Word is Truth - it is pure, it cuts & divides, it converts, it blesses. No enemy, both now & in that final day, will be able to withstand God's Truth. Where they once rejected it, even rejecting God's Word made flesh, they will feel the keenness of the 'blade' & will fall, succumbing to the power of that Word. Even Satan flees when God's Word is brought to bear upon him.
And Jesus' countenance appeared to John as the midday Sun in its zenith. One can imagine John turning away from such Brightness. As we read in Malachi 4:2, "the Sun of righteousness" arises to heal those who fear Him, but will also burn the chaff into ashes of those who do wickedly.
When the Scriptute says that God will pour His Spirit to all people, does it is literally mean to ALL people no matter what they want or believe? If this is the case then the muslims, the buddhists and all other people have got the Holly Spirit that "leads them to the truth?" The truth of their religion? This can't be right, can it?
Lets see what Jesus said about this.
John 14:16-17
" And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you."
Jesus said that the world can not receive the HS because they don't know It.
Read also Galatians 4:6
" And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father."
The above says that the HS is given by God only to His children. Can we agree on that?
Now if we don't really need anybody else than the HS to teach us the Word of God, how come there are so many different beliefs amongst Christians? Don't we all have the HS that leads us to the truth? Which one (truth)? If that is the case why God has placed teachers in the church? If all churches are falling away during these last days how come that that Isaiah said about the knowledge of God covering the whole world comes true? Because the HS will teach people? Do you see many people outside churches that know or want to know anything about God? Since this practically doesn't happen, shouldn't we think that the scripture means something else? Remember that Paul said to Timothy that people of the last days will be the worst of all ages? 2 Timothy 3:1-5
Question. Can one be saved if one doesn't believe in Jesus? There are so many scriptures that say the opposite. I give you some. John 3:18-19, John 5:24, John 5:28-29, Acts 2::38 etc
There is more to say but not now...

Psalms 74:13-14,
Psalms 104:24-31,
Job 40:15-24,
Job 41:1-34,
Note: trees; when hidden in trees, I was reminded of trees like the Sequoia in The Red Wood Forest, West Coast USA.
Is when the False Christ is released on earth..
We do not have to hear the Trump, see the Seal or the Vile spilled out.. Only be aware that he is here..
14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people
Yes, The gift of the Holy ghost was given on Pentecost, but John/Baptist was filled in his mothers womb. And Zacharias the day John was born. There is nothing that God can't do. Matthew chapter 2 is how this wonderful plan came to all the world, all people of all nations, all tongues, all colors Who so ever will let him come. Glory to God for his son Jesus
Thank you for your answer to my question, May the Lord bless you today and always.
In this verse take note Father Son and Holy Spirit are all titles
Therefore we should be Baptize in the name which is Jesus.
Amen. Your explanation here is very logical, easy to understand, and one of the best I've heard, regarding the Triune God.
GBU
May we be diligent in prayer as we pray for our nation's leaders to turn to the salvation and authority of the LORD JESUS CHRIST as we face our current economic, social, political, and religious woes.
Thank You LORD for hearing and answering our prayers. Amen, even so LORD come quickly.

The vision not unlike Peters , who saw a great sheet with unclean things on it. Would change His ministry, not only for the Jews but unto the Gentiles.
A constant message even today for those Jews and Gentiles who do not believe the words of Christ and who He is!
This message that continues in the fearless.
The disciples who were martyred, Martin Luther, who lived in hiding, and William Tyndale who would be burned at the stake!
There are those who will not be intimidated by the accuser. The accuser who wishes nothing more than to stifle the word!
Though shackled, mouths that have been stopped, the fear of this one , who wishes our total separation from anything that is good! of eternal damnation, these being His devises, continue , even as before!
The power of God lives in those who believe! The power that Jesus Christ is risen, that there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God!
Repent and be Baptized in the name of the Father ,the Son, and the Holy Spirit
I was at a bible study with my friend and her husband came home with a severe ankle injury. They were extremely upset, since her husband is military and this injury was a potential surgery and Medical Discharge. I just felt the Lord telling me to pray over him and as nervous as I was I did. I prayed for healing and the peace that comes only from Jesus, along with other things.
The first doctors exam showed a severe ankle injury. Then the weekend hit which means no referral or further treatment til monday.
After the second exam to confirm the referral, the doctor apparently made a shocking discovery. That the injury was somehow very different now. Instead of a severe ankle injury with a referral, it was just a minor sprain. That amount of relief for that family is something few experience. No one can explain the drastic different between these examinations, but God. He hears prayers and He answers them. I waited a month to hear any news, some people wait much longer. No matter where you are in your wait for the Lord, just know that he hears your prayer and an answer will come. He has a picture that is much larger than us and His timing is perfect because of that. Keep waiting on the LORD.
......Jesus flat out tells us Search the scriptures ( all the law and prophets ) in them you think you have Eternal life but it is them that testify of me....Which is the H.G. that testifies of him ...living words...living beings the BLOOD OF THE LAMB.. the new Covenant, he tells us of the H.G. That Spirit of truth a living being that is gonna be born in us....Thats the only thing that plzs God...Not Circumcision nor uncircumcision, LAW OR NO LAW its only the blood of the lamb that plzs God.
......All our works are filthy rags in the sight of God...Its only the blood of the lamb that plzs God...Thats y Bro, Paul is saying if righteousness came by the law CHRIST DIED IN VAIN.... Gal. 2 : 21....Sin is the trangression of the law but if Christ lives is us via his good seed then we cannot sin and if we cannot sin then the law is fulfilled in a perfect sence.....Thats how he will fulfilled by making it impossible to sin..Do we make void the law by faith God forbid we establish the law....
I think You will need to read this and the referrals several times. I myself have heard a useful sermon from Derek Prince, about the enemies we meet. On youtube, Useful information and learning.
Be blessed in the name of Jesus and know that everything is easy on the path of light. Jesus Loves You, i love u in Christ.
