I have asthma and it is gr3eatly exacerbated by respiratory illnesses. But, praise the Lord, I haven't had a respiratory illness since March 20 of 2020 (which was the Friday of the last week Kids were in school that year when things shut down for Covid). I was ill and had breathing difficulties for a whole month! It took until mid June for me to feel normal again. But I am so thankful to have been able to take medical leave and then retirement from then on. I have not been back in the classroom since then and being home most of the time has really kept me from being exposed to viruses that cause me such problems.
I will continue to pray for you, Anthony.

Very well put Brother Jesse.
God bless you.
N-I-K-E means victory, LAOS as you said means people. So NIKOLAOS may either mean "victory of people" or "victory over people", but it is generally accepted that it most possibly means the former, it is a bit strange to mean victory over people, who wants such a name unless he is a tyrant or a dictator and since ancient Greece was sort of obsessed with democracy it is almost impossible I think to mean that.
I haven't seriously searched about Nicolaitans so I don't know if they got their name from their leader named Nikolaos, or they chose a name to fit their teachings.
Koine Greek is old greek but it is not Classical Greek which is extremely hard to understand, if one understands it, probably a slight idea of what is written and that not always. Koine Greek is a lot simpler, it is very close to modern greek in vocabularly, syntax and grammar. It may be harder to understand Koine Greek than English people understand the KJV archaic English, but it is OK, one probably doesn't know some words but can figure out what they mean from the text. Thats why I use a version of the Bible that the majority of the text remains as it was originally written and the rest is in modern greek. And still sometimes I use other modern greek Bibles if something is not clear enough.
Jesse I am not a scholar, so don't take my opinion as always 100% right, I may be wrong sometimes (few times I believe). But I usually say on this site not only how I percieve the greek in the Bible but what I am tought or read in greek Bibles or in commentaries in these Bibles. And a lot of information is available now on the internet. But anybody can also do such a search. There is a lot of information out there now.

These are some great responses and I agree that Jesus is our peace. For me, peace is not a feeling but a person. And that person is Jesus Christ. I experience peace because I experience Christ in me. It's His peace. If I had to describe the peace I have in Christ, I would look at Romans 5:1-21, which talks about the privileges of justification.
Romans 5:1 starts out by saying, "Therefore being justified by faith." Even though the word "being" is in there which shows a condition or a state, literally in the Greek text it shows past tense. It is literally "After (having been) placed in a position of justification."
So now I've been justified. It's put in the past. It's a one-time thing, never to be taken back. So now after I have been justified by faith, there are seven things that are mine as an inheritance according to the next verses in Romans Chapter 5. The first thing listed is that I have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. The language indicates peace with Him because once I was at enmity with Him. I was once His enemy, but I now have peace with God.
That's is not a performance statement. It has nothing to do with my performance. It is a positional statement! My position with God is that I have peace with God. Now that does not mean that I always experience the peace of God. That's on an individual circumstance basis.
In Philippians 4:7, Paul says that once you surrender everything over to Christ, and you pray and give it all to Him, that the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. It is the peace "of" God.
So, I always have peace with God. I am never His enemy and He is never my enemy. That's positional! But to experience the peace of God comes when I trust Christ, like Abraham did by faith, I experience the peace of God.
I believe you are looking for Numbers 22:28.
And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
God bless.
It's The Lords peace!
John 14:27. Peace I leave with you, MY PEACE I GIVE UNTO YOU: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
IT'S A FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT THAT THE WORD CAN'T GIVE. WE ARE TO EXPECT TRIBULATION IN THE WORLD.
Galatians 5:22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
God bless.
.....But the Manchild which is the H.G. that results from his good seed sown in our hearts is gonna rule all Nations....Simply b/c he is gonna be born in the hearts of everyman...As Jeremiah saw all men in travail and birth pains... Jeremiah 30:6..Who is my mother he asked them that hears my words and keeps them...His good seed is gona initiate a Birth of Christ in us...But all of this is simply b/c there is war in his heart....The Kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdoms of our lord and his Christ... the Baby the ( Man Child)...The babes and sucklings he mentions that are gonna be born in us an Israel of God...The Kingdom of God has to come via his seeds sown in our hearts....She brought forth a man child the H.G. a Kingdom Child....Unless you receive the Kingdom as lil Child a Spiritual child....Which is our new heart and new spirit...our new innerman....When ya read Rev. 12 remember its all with in us..A war that rages in us.
We know these words of warning from the apostle Paul to Timothy which the Holy Spirit inspired these words as Paul was near death:
2 Timothy: 3&5
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry."
Keep preaching brother. Amen!
I did want to state that in the Millennium Age and starting with the Tribulation; we have a different but in no way less glorious function of the Holy Spirit. The same goes for Christ; there are clearly no atheists by the sixth seal. He will be visible and known yet somehow rejected by many descendants of those who physically survive into the Millennium. We will be ruling and reigning for a time over natural men. I believe that has something to do with the ceremonial aspect of a Temple as one has to be purified to be in God's presence in natural bodies and live.
It is true; sadly that many delude themselves thinking that they should be in the Tribulation or that they will repent once that occurs. To deliberately delay is foolishness. It is better to err on the side of caution; and we should warn anyone thinking they have lots of time to repent as today could be their last day on earth. God may allow some to be blinded now to awake later.
Once it is known; what has happened there is no hiding place for those with one foot in the world if they truly know Christ. That is my point.
