1 John 5.7,8

For there are THREE that beat record in heaven , ( notice it does not say 1 bears record in heaven )

These 3 are in agreement and one in testimony .

It also reads like this in verse 8

Last part of the verse reads " and these three agree in one .

Please let's be consistent when rightly dividing the word .

did Adam have a wife before Eve ?

I think this David & Bathesheba thing is so prophetic of Christ and the early Church...The early Church had a husband which was the law but she had a relationship with Christ that resulted in a child called Christianity...But early Christianity was sick and died in its infancy as there is no more original Christianity...But as David and Bathsheba travailed again and it was this 2 nd Child that God wanted to build the great temple... Rev 12 : 5 kjv..She brought forth a man Child that is gonna rule all nations...My lil Children of whom i travail in birth AGAIN till Christ is formed in you...The H.G. is the 2 nd Child...And more importantly the Child of Promise...The multiplication of Christ in humanity...That was the great Promise...Thats y Paul is saying you are dead to the law ( Uriah ) by the body of Christ that you should be MARRIED to another even Christ and bring forth fruit unto God... Romans 7 : 4 KJV

Three guys to follow but god turned them down?

The verses above state the faith without work is dead, and faith alone will not save...Abraham sacrificed a son. I will never do that, what is defined the "work" that saves ??

Thank you

David was a great man of God a type of Christ...When God told David sit thou at my right hand till i make your enemies your footstool..Thats prophetic of Christ that is gonna make ALL ALL of his enemies his footstool...Which is our carnal minds...Mankinds Adamic nature. Which is in rank with satan...As God makes the rain and the SUN to shine on everybody...On the mount when they saw him his Raiment was white as snow...Thats us whos sins are as scarlet but shall be made white as snow...We are his raiment thats y he says i was naked and you clothe me...gbu....AND ABIDE IN ME AND I IN YOU.

@Chris

Thank you. I go nuts thinking about things like this. When Jesus walked among us, and the Jews saw his miracles first hand, they accused Him of doing miracles by the power of the devil. (Is that what blasphemy-against-the-Holy-Spirit is??)

All of us born after Jesus ascended into heaven long to see some sort of miracle, but WE live by faith. Not by sight. Sometimes I get discouraged. I want the idol worshipping, rebellious, wicked reprobates to STOP what they are doing, but nobody down here is able to stop them. Prison and the death penalty are looked at as too inhumane, so murderers and rapists are allowed to go free.

Ecclesiastes 8:11

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.



It's to the point where I'm afraid to leave my house and afraid to stay in it. Know-what-I-mean?

AndreaDona, in your comments of Prophecy of Gog (Russia), you must look at:

Revelation 20:7 And when the 1000 years ARE EXPIRED, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

Revelation 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the NATIONS which are in the FOUR QUARTERS of the earth, GOG and MAGOG ......

Satan has NOT YET been loosed from his prison:

The 1000 years are NOT YET EXPIRED:

GOG and MAGOG is all the earth, ALL NATIONS, not one single nation (Russia).

Keep studying God's word, the Spirit reveals as is needed by the ONE STUDYING.

God Bless You!

Jesus said after you have done all the things COMMANDED ( the law ) you can say we are unprofitable servants we have did that which is our duty to do..We don't become profitable till we marry Christ and bring forth fruit unto God which is the H.G. that Child of Promise...That New Covenant a birthing covenant whosoever receiveth one such child in my name receiveth me.... Romans 7 : 4 kjv

Sharon:

People don't go to heaven, flesh and blood CAN NOT inherit the kingdom of GOD.

Man, thru TRUTH, is changed into the IMAGE of CHRIST.

This is the good news of the gospel, we are going to be the LIKENESS OF CHRIST.

At present Christ is in the form of the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of the Father, abiding IN MAN, bring creation to TRUTH.

By coming to Truth; the SECOND COMING of Christ, as the Holy Ghost, teaching you from WITHIN, man is transformed by the renewing of their mind: into the LIKENESS OF CHRIST.

When we depart this body of flesh we are instantly in the PRESENCE OF THE HOLY GHOST, THE LIKENESS OF CHRIST.

Christ knows all men, therefore you also will know all men, because you have become ONE WITH CHRIST.

John 13:36 ....Whether I go, thou canst not follow me now (flesh and blood, CAN NOT), but thou shall follow me afterwards (when you depart this body of flesh and only THE SPIRIT REMAINS, by TRUTH, you have become ONE WITH THE SPIRIT.

Hebrews 12:23 ....and to the SPIRITS of of just men MADE PERFECT (having their being IN CHRIST).

God Bless You!

Q. When did Noah enter the Arc? 7 days before the flood or on the day the rain started.

7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

1.10And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

2.11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

3.And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

4.13In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

Hey there, faith without works mean that we are saved by grace through faith alone but works are something that a born again Christian in response to his confession to Jesus will perform. The 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit are produced when a person gets born again

Shirley,

Galatians 5:22

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,"

God Bless.

Dear Sharon: It occurs to me that you may have recently lost a loved-one, or know someone who has. There is much written in the Bible regarding the state of the dead.

At this time, the only human beings in heaven are Enoch (God took him Gen 5:24), Elijah ( 2 Kings 2), Moses ( Jude 9) and those resurrected and taken to heaven as "first fruits" when Christ ascended ( Matt 27:52, 53). This is all Biblical.

For the remainder of humanity who have died, the Bible is clear that they rest in the grave until the second coming of Christ.

As to our being seen by the inhabitants of heaven (and the sinless worlds beyond), yes, they can see us. They are intently interested in what is occurring on earth which is the vindication of God as just, against the accusation by satan that He is unjust and that His law cannot be kept.

Please read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and be comforted. Deceased loved ones are sleeping the sleep of death, a temporary sleep. May the LORD add a blessing to the reading of His Word!

The scripture at the end of Hebrews 6 and continuing into chapter seven is referencing the account in Genesis 14 where Melchisedec appears (with no reference to his origin) to bless Abraham. Melchisedec is a pattern for Christ's priesthood because he didn't come out of the tribe of Levi. The scripture says he is the priest of Salem. Salem eventually became know as Jerusalem. So Melchisedec is a good pattern for Christ being the High Priest of the heavenly Jerusalem (end of Hebrews 12). Take time to ponder Hebrews 7 and the comparisons that are made in it.

Jesus is the sourse of our being. jesus will direct, lead us into all truth. psalms is a very encouraging chapter. when we give our lives to jesus there is no better life to live than to be save. jesus changes everything. we now have a knowning purpose in god.

I didn't include that part of Jesus/Peter's conversation because it didn't apply to Peter being Satan. Was Peter's love for the Lord questionable or did the three affirmations from Peter meant to counteract Peter's earlier three denials? The Scriptures don't confirm either. The point I was making is that whether or not Jesus questioned Peter's love for Him, it was Jesus' Command to Peter to feed His sheep; Peter belonged to Jesus & would do as Jesus asked of him. Jesus wouldn't ask Satan to do such a work of caring for those who belong to Him. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Galatians 2:11-14. Yes, that was a sad occasion where Peter was hypocritical because of fear of the Hebrew believers in their possible appraising the situation of Peter eating with the Gentile believers. Peter was right to eat with them (according to the Truth of the Gospel) but stopped when the Hebrew Christians came. Peter probably learned this lesson from Paul to stand true to the Lord & the Gospel in all areas of Christian experience.

Now, is Peter still a Satan here? Or, is he one who needed to be set aright in his understanding & that hypocrisy has no part in Christian living & testimony? You can't take an instance such as this & condemn the man forever - you would then need to destroy almost every other character in the Bible, for many have done far worse. So even after following Peter's preaching & activities in the Book of Acts, including his two letters, if you still feel that Peter is a Satan, then you might be out on a limb, as there is more than enough evidence to show that he was a person much more devoted to the Lord, stronger in the Word, & prepared to lay down his life, than most Christians today, including me.

What Does Faith Without Works Mean?

So are "those of Israel" ALL of those that came forth from Israel or the main household of Israel? Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you

KJV bible verse James 1:19, thank you, you had me at "..my beloved brethren."

Dear John

If you mean the tribulation that will occur in the world during the time that antichrist will rule on earth, then it is one but the opinions for when it happens (in accordance to rapture) are two: (there are subdivisions as well)

1. After rapture. So rapture precedes tribulation.

1a. After antichrist's appearance in the world in the beginng.

2a. Midway the 7 years that he'll rule on earth.

2. Before rapture. In this case rapture occurs at the very end after the fight of Armageddon

Dear Enid

Sometimes we have a wrong impression of God's people mentioned in the Bible. We think that they are invulnerable like robots or angels or they should be like that. But they were ordinary people like me and you. Having the same passions, struggles, failures, good and bad times, their up and downs just like everybody else in the world. Just like us. What made them exceptional is that they regreted and repented for what they had done and went back to God to be forgiven. Of course one has to be very careful not to fail but we are sand/soil and will eventually fail sometime badly or less badly.(hopefully not that bad).The Bible gives a true description of their personalities. Not like biographies written by men for some great men in the world that idealize them and write nothing about their errors. David was one of them. Sure he has done things that hatdly anybody does. But he was a man after God's heart because he was always ready to admit his errors/failures and repent. Not like Adam who tried to justify him by blaming Eve. And don't forget that he was severely punished by God sometimes, and also he was not allowed to build a temple for God as his son Solomon did .All those people, good or bad, are examples for us now for what to do and what not to do.

" Ezekiel 38:7-23 cont'd

"'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: You are the one I spoke of in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel. At that time they prophesied for years that I would bring you against them. This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign Lord.

In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground.

I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign Lord. Every man's sword will be against his brother. I will execute judgment on him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him.

And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.'"

Ezekiel 38:7-23

"Get ready; be prepared, you and all the hordes gathered about you, and take command of them. After many days you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety. You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land.

"'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme. You will say, "I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people-all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land." Sheba (Ethiopia) and Dedan (Al-'Ula, Saudi Arabia) and the merchants of Tarshish (Lebanon) and all her villages will say to you, "Have you come to plunder? Have you gathered your hordes to loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize much plunder?"'

"Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog (Russia): 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety, will you not take notice of it? You will come from your place in the far north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a great horde, a mighty army.

You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In days to come, Gog, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I am proved holy through you before their eyes.

2 Esdras 15:28-45

"Behold a horrible vision and the appearance thereof from the East: Where the nations of the dragons of Arabia shall come out with many chariots, and the multitude of them shall be carried as the wind upon earth, that all they which hear them may fear and tremble. Also, the Carmanians (Iran) raging in wrath shall go forth as the wild boars of the wood, and with great power shall they come, and join battle with them, and shall waste a portion of the land of the Assyrians.

And then shall the dragons have the upper hand, remembering their nature (Taliban); and if they shall turn themselves, conspiring together in great power to persecute them, Then these shall be troubled bled, and keep silence through their power, and shall flee. And from the land of the Assyrians shall the enemy besiege them, and consume some of them, and in their host shall be fear and dread, and strife among their kings (Afghanistan).

Behold clouds from the East and from the North unto the South, and they are very horrible to look upon, full of wrath and storm. They shall smite one upon another, and they shall smite down a great multitude of stars upon the earth, even their own star; and blood shall be from the sword unto the horse's belly, And dung of men unto the camel's hough.

And there shall be great fearfulness and trembling upon earth: and they that see the wrath shall be afraid, and trembling shall come upon them. And then shall there come great storms from the South, and from the North, and another part from the West. And strong winds shall arise from the East and shall open it, and the cloud which he raised up in wrath, and the star stirred to cause fear toward the East and West wind, shall be destroyed (detonated).

The great and mighty clouds shall be puffed up full of wrath, and the star, that they may make all the earth afraid, and them that dwell therein; and they shall pour out over every high and eminent place a horrible star."

Jeremiah 50:41-46

"Behold! An army is coming from the north; a great nation and many kings are being stirred up from the ends of the earth. They are armed with bows and spears; they are cruel and without mercy. They sound like the roaring sea as they ride on their horses; they come like men in battle formation to attack you, Daughter Babylon.

The king of Babylon has heard reports about them, and his hands hang limp. Anguish has gripped him, pain like that of a woman in labor.

Like a lion coming up from Jordan's thickets to a rich pastureland, I will chase Babylon from its land in an instant. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? Who is like me and who can challenge me? And what shepherd can stand against me?"

Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Babylon, what he has purposed against the land of the Babylonians: The young of the flock will be dragged away; their pasture will be appalled at their fate.

At the sound of Babylon's capture the earth will tremble; its cry will resound among the nations."
