Jimbob:

Matthew 24:29 Immediately after ----it's been 2000 years, that's not immediately after --- the tribulation of those days ---it's Christ's tribulation, leading up to his death on the cross, that he is speaking about ----shall the sun be darkened, Matthew 27:45 ---he is quoting Joel 2:31 and Revelation 6:12 a prophecy about Christ death on the cross ---and the moon (symbolising Christ) shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven ---- Revelation 12:4 ---and the powers of heaven shall be shaken ----all this description is a parable Matthew 13:34. Christ's words are most often HIDDEN in parables and symbols.

Matthew 24:30 Then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven ---this is still symbolic and a parable ---heaven is symbolic of man, where GOD DWELLS, Colossians 2:27 ...Christ in you .... John 3:13 ... he which is in heaven ....

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will DO NOTHING, but he revealeth his secret to his servant the prophets.

Your raptured: one at a time

Isaiah 27:12 ....and ye shall be gathered ONE by ONE ....two in the field, one taken one left ....

God bless you, as you study and Christ reveals himself to you.

No, I do not find these passage helpful in my question, as to how in the Old testament Genesis 6 it spoke of angels having sex with human daughters and producing the nephilim quoting new Testament passage , but not answering the question as stated, being as angels no sex organs.

Hi Kalebu,

I will give my understanding, and others may differ. The tabernacle is the place to host the presence of God on earth. In Exodus 25 God gives the pattern to Moses to build the tabernacle (the tent of meeting), a sacred place to communicate with God. Later Solomon built the first temple which is also a tabernacle in the old sacrificial system.

The people would bring an animal and lay their hand on its head and pass their sin onto the sacrifice. The high priest had to go in once a year with the blood of a bull for an offering for himself and the people, but it did not take away the sins, (the conscience). This was a foreshadowing of the Messiah, Jesus the high priest to come, Heb. 9 and Heb. 10.

When Jesus the Messiah came and was baptized by John the Holy Spirit filled Jesus without measure, John 3:34. The sacred space, the communication and fellowship with God, the tabernacle the true light coming into the world, John 1:14, God was manifest in the flesh 1 Tim.3:16, who communicated directly with men.

As Jesus told the woman at the well John 4:21-24 if we accept Jesus as the Messiah who has come in the flesh, He died for our sins and was raised from the dead, and only through Him do we have access to God and only in Him the name of Jesus is salvation and when we are baptized and sealed with the Holy Spirit we become a tabernacle a place to host the presence of God through the Holy Spirit by our high priest and mediator Jesus.

This is my understanding please study for your own.

God bless,

RLW

Jim Bob, I agree. Jesus said it plainly here. But I find no Scripture that plainly speaks of a "secret rapture" pre-tribulation.

The KJV was translated from the received text the Textus Receptus ( my spelling may be off ), while the more modern versions used the Alexandrian scrolls, which were proven incorrect and NOT inspired by the Holy Ghost. God can touch someone's heart reading a newspaper, even so, the Authorized King James Version is the closest and most accurate translation in English we have of God's Word.

I would be cautious if reading other modern translations ie. such as " The Max Lucado" study bible, as they are NOT His Word. Let God be true and be every man a liar.

Jer. Ch.23 is written to pastors and prophets, in verse 36 it says And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every mans word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God. The word perverted is #2015 in Hebrew, it means to turn about or over, ((to change)), overturn, pervert.

I just want to thank God for the Word - I find so many verses comforting. Although my understanding is sloight, my faith is strong and these words comfort me through the rough parts of life. By reading I feel God with me when I'm alone.

What about Mt.24:29-31? Immediately after the tribulation the Son of man comes in the clouds to gather together his elect! I agree completely Jesus is coming back but Mt.24:29 tells us its not before the tribulation, but AFTER it!

The KJB is the pure Words of the LORD that was promised to be preserve for ever!

Hi Caleb ...Good Question...The Cross at Calvary was to Atone for the sins of the world...But there is a 2 nd facet to the Cross which is Multiplication of Christ seed which is hid from the wise and prudent but revealed unto babes the H.G which is the multiplication of Christ via his good seed .....Smite the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered then i will turn my hand to the little ones...Zech...13:7...Impling multiplication that great Promise...I will multiply thy seed as the stars of Heaven...By the disobedience of 1 man sin was passed on to all the world no exceptions...Automatically to every PERSON ever born in their seed,.. thus there was none righteous no not one, And God wanted everybody righteous...Thus the blood of the lamb WILL BE passed on to everybody AFTER THE BOOK IS OPENED...In Adam we all die but in Christ we will all live...Plz note they don't sing that New song till after the book is opened.

Had he not died there wd have been only 1 Christ...But b/c of his death he will be multiplied as the stars of heaven...Thats y he said unless a seed dies it will abide alone but if it dies it will bring forth much fruit...Impling many Christ,..Thats y he is saying Whosoever received one such Child in my name receiveth me...A baby Christ the H.G. That Child of Promise....That New Creature....nothin availeth any thing in Christ Jesus but a New Creature...Not Circumcision nor uncircumcision but a Baby Christ the H.G. is that New Creature....And if any man be in Christ Jesus he is a New Creature..Its very important that we understand this 2 nd facet of multiplication of the Cross...God Almighty swore by his very self when he made this Promise of multiplication of Christ seed the words of the book..That N.C.

1st facet of the cross was...Behold the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world

2 nd facet is Multiplication.... Gen 22:17....I will multiply thy seed as the stars of Heaven....Thus the sower and his seed the babes and sucklings Spirits.

Hello LukeCage151. Thanks for your enquiry. I'm sorry that I cannot link my source, as my information was gleaned primarily from my Bible. I can say this though, that it is one of the old versions of the KJV Ryrie Study Bible (bought in 1982), but even a newer edition that I have (since the old one is falling apart) also has this information, but presented differently.

A little about Charles Caldwell Ryrie: (March 2, 1925 - February 16, 2016). He was an American Bible scholar and Christian theologian. He served as professor of systematic theology and dean of doctoral studies at Dallas Theological Seminary and as president and professor at what is now Cairn University. After his retirement from Dallas Theological Seminary he also taught courses for Tyndale Theological Seminary. He is considered one of the most influential American theologians of the 20th century. He was the editor of The Ryrie Study Bible by Moody Publishers, containing more than 10,000 of his explanatory notes. First published in 1978, it has sold more than 2 million copies. He was a notable proponent of classic premillennial dispensationalism (this info taken from the Web).

So, coupled with his detailed charts attached at the end of the Bible, his explanatory notes within the Bible itself & my own double-checking between the Scriptures on specific kings, I have shared that information to this thread's enquirer. I realize that any non-biblical information given can be disputed, since it may not be clearly revealed within the Word, but as mentioned, I've found this man Ryrie, to be very knowledgeable & fundamental in his treatment of the Scriptures & in his presentation of any helps like the one I've shared.

Exodus 34:1, Exodus 34:27,28, in Exodus 34:1 the English words "and I will write" is simply 1 Hebrew word "kathab" meaning engrave same word used for "write" in Exodus 34:27, & "he wrote" in Exodus 34:28,

Appears Moses did, by direction of GOD,

You are correct, God created the earth only once. According to verse two it became "without form and void". It was that chaotic mass that was used by God (same earth, messed up) when he renewed it. Verse one tells us that God created the heavens and the earth. It does not tell us anywhere when that was, we have no date for that. There will be another recreating of the earth for the millennial kingdom when the beasts of the earth become benign so it is not a stretch to believe that God did it once already.

Blessings :)

Adam, did you intend to attach something to your mail?

i strongly believe the KING JAMES VERISION is the holy word of GOD all the other verision are of the devil. There can only be one bible Jesus said I am the Word The Truth and the Light all singular not plural so there can only be one Bible and GOD said I will preserve my word so I am sure he did

I agree. God's glory through His creation reflects God. Just studying any aspect of God's creation shows amazing detail, intelligent thought, and brilliant design. Many scientists are actually religious activists who hardly use the scientific method for anything, but just use science as a label to claim authority and dominance over others. Like Fauci.

Hi Caleb, salvation means to be saved from hell. John 3:16. Everyone will go to hell if not saved. Only those who genuinely choose to follow Jesus Christ will be saved. The link at the bottom that says Become a Christian has more verses.

One thing I'll add is its general Christian tradition to claim that you're immediately "saved" when you "accept" Jesus into your "heart", but that's not exactly what the Bible says. I'd carefully read all the verses, especially what Jesus says in the gospel books. I haven't found any verses that say we're saved on earth as soon as we utter magic words, or that we get to skip judgment day, but have found verses that say if we follow Jesus (including obedience) then we can have assurance of salvation. Verses talk about salvation to come. Basically, I think a lot of people are deceived into thinking they can take 2 seconds away from pursuing evil to "accept Christ" then return to their normal pursuit of the world. But the Bible says we are to become slaves to righteousness. It contradicts a lot of what you hear on TV or in mainstream Christianity which often tries to appease pop culture's morals instead of God's morals. The Bible says in the end many will cry out Lord Lord assuming they were saved but are not.

Do you follow Jesus?

The song seems to start with Deuteronomy 32:1-43, because Deuteronomy 32:44, indicates the end of the song.

God wasn't created. He's always been. This includes Jesus, who has always been as it says in John 1:2. Jesus wasn't created, but is the creator as the Bible says. Some falsely assume begotten means something other than what it means. Jesus chose to become a man and be born in the flesh and lived and died among us for the forgiveness of our sins. The Bible says Jesus is the King of Kings and Alpha and Omega and Almighty God. Revelation 1:8, 1 Timothy 6:15, Revelation 19:15-16.

Hi Roy,

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for or not, but you can search Jesus, click Who is Jesus and get into various pages, one showing Jesus's quotes.

I think if you click on each verse you can see other translations and probably commentaries. You asked where you could find more understandable quotes of Jesus, so maybe that points you in the right direction?

The Bible talks about the rapture in the following verses. Beware of anyone trying to convince you it isn't there:

1 Thessalonians 4:17 - Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Matthew 24:40-41

Luke 17:35

Revelation 3:10

1 Corinthians 15:51-52

John 14:3

Mark 13:32 says not even Jesus knows the day of when the end will be. So, be ready.
