Bible Questions & Discussion PAGE 811

Hi Bradford . I think you might have mixed your chapter up a bit . Have a look at 1st Samuel Ch 18 . I believe in that chapter , that Saul wanted such a ridiculous dowry for his daughter because he thought that David would be killed trying to fulfill the task .

Dear Joshuua

In a few words the message for you (and for all christians as well) is just speak to other people about the good news of the salvation that God offers to people through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ.

GBU

And Revelation 21:27.

S Spencer,

What you've listed is not rapture, but resurrection by the books. Revelation 11:11-12

It's crucial to match the event with the time line. In doing so, we see they all happen at the 7th trumpet in accordance with the 1st resurrection. The 7th trumpet resurrection is reserved for the saints; the only ones hidden in allegory throughout 7 chapters of Revelation, and mentioned elsewhere. They were groomed to administer to Christ. They show up twice in Revelation 7; they are misunderstood and under-appreciated.

Rufinus of Aquileia.

"And do not marvel that the flesh of the SAINTS is to be changed into such a glorious condition at the resurrection as to be caught up to meet God, suspended in the clouds and borne in the air. (Commentary on the Apostles' Creed, 46)"

This is a text book description of the 1st resurrection. Paul lacked saying he was talking about saints.

Most rapturists leave before the 6th trumpet, before the day of the Lord, before the cataclysmic attack. All the examples you gave were for the 7th trumpet. You must be in the group that thinks you will be resurrected with the saints, that you are first fruits? That's a big difference compared to being removed by Jesus prior to Jesus and the beast army wrecking the earth with a curse.

The olden Christian's didn't know too much better than today. In my career as a Christian, I have gotten many meanings wrong because I wanted it to fit. Then, after frustration, you get the answer.

That's a great verse Joshua (btw, I think you meant to write Isaiah 51:16); a verse of great assurance to Judah (who would go into Babylonian captivity about one hundred years later).

Even though Isaiah's message may seem presumptuous, Isaiah had already prophesied (as did other prophets) of Judah's & Israel's captivities. But now, the promise was given that they would be released from captivity & return to their own land. Isaiah chapter 51 is but one chapter of God's encouragement for them to be faithful to their God & Redeemer (i.e. hopefully they would have learnt their lesson from their punishment). So in verse 16 (the special verse given to you), the words here are reminders to Judah of God's special, unflinching interest in His special possession.

"I have put my words in thy mouth": assures them that they were the only ones of all the peoples of the Earth to receive God's Laws & Truths; they were the ones selected through whom the Messiah would come & through Him & because of Him, would God's Word spread to all. The Gospel of Christ was the message of life & hope to all those sitting in darkness bound in sin's shackles. Judah (& Israel) already received God's Truths & they were expected to learn from their punishment to declare the Name of the LORD as a witness to His Power & Goodness. But did they? Sadly, No.

But this part of the verse you've received is indeed special & timely. You should not be as Judah was, a privileged people with every reason to be a shining light to the world, yet remaining unchanged. As a child of God, with Christ's Spirit reigning in your heart, you not only have God's Word hidden there, but you are God's Light to shine forth & bring His Word to others who might be sitting in darkness & bondage; to share the words He's put into your heart & mouth. May those words echo King David's praise in Psalm 35:28, "And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long." Be greatly blessed, dear brother.

Yes Bradford, King Saul did intend for David to be killed by the Philistines. You can read the account in 1 Samuel 18:17-29, where Saul's offer of his daughter Michal would be realized only if David went out to battle & return with proof of the death of one hundred Philistines. But David instead killed two hundred. Saul hoped that the Philistines would get the better of David & his men & that David would be killed, since Saul failed to do so in his several attempts. Saul now realized that "that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul's daughter loved him": verse 28.

But in the 2 Samuel 11 reference against your name, we read that King David himself behaved just as badly as his father-in-law & did sin grievously by sending Uriah into battle to have him killed because of the sin of adultery that David committed with Uriah's wife, Bathsheba. Unfortunately, on this occasion, the person sent out to battle was killed & David took Bathsheba to wife. But in 2 Samuel chapter 12, Nathan the prophet comes to David to alert him to his grievous sins (of adultery & murder) & we can also read Psalm 51 as David's declaration of repentance for his actions.

Toby,

Matthew 24 is directed towards the whole house of Israel. One house receives the abomination of desolation, the other, captivity Joel 3:1 It was Jesus who went after the lost sheep of Israel, why would He exclude them from Mat 24?

Ezekiel 38 is directed towards both houses of Israel, vs 9 & 16 show 2 clouds covering each land.

Ezekiel 21:19-20 two lands destroyed from 1 land.

Kay,

I appreciate your knowledge, here. Jesus also comes symbolically at the 6th trumpet, day of the Lord, the day named after Him. Jesus comes like a thief to lay the land desolate (both houses of Israel).

Jesus participates at the falling away in Spirit:

Isaiah 13:5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, [even the LORD], and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not, 6th trumpet.

Isaiah 13:6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty, 6th trumpet.

Joel 2:9 Jesus comes in at the windows "like a thief" at the day of the Lord.

God even calls the beast army, "His army", and praises anti-christ's might, Joel 2:11

Everything Jesus warns us about is facilitated through anti-christ's scriptural actions against us. Jesus warns us of a surprise attack, a sudden strike, then we find out that that's what anti-christ is preparing for a year, month, day and hour. Jeremiah 15:6-9 "I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city".

As a cautionary note about the day of the Lord and America:

Ezekiel 22:30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

Hello Jernej. In 1 Timothy 6:10 we read, "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." Earning money or having money with us is not wrong, but when our lives are so focussed & engrossed in making more money, desiring to satisfy our lusts by it, & not using it for worthy means, then it shows that we have an imbalanced regard of money. When we spend our time & energies in acquiring more of it, it's very likely that both money & our plans will direct us into greater evil; as Paul said to Timothy, some have coveted (or, lusted) after it so much that they have even turned away from the faith - because money (or, anything that consumes our passions more than serving the Lord), will certainly present very real dangers to our love & faithfulness to Christ.

If some have that burden from the Lord to go out & continually preach the Gospel (as the apostles did), then yes, they will have to trust their well-being to the Lord Who called them, & the Lord will not disappoint. But for many, they don't receive that calling, but are to be lights, mouths, & hands for the Master where they're at, also having a family & home to maintain - and for that one has to work as Paul commanded ( 2 Thessalonians 3:10). "Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called." 1 Corinthians 7:20; though spoken in respect to relationships, the Truth can be applied to anything that God has appointed for us to do & have in life, even the love & care for our families & also to those in need that He brings in our life's path.

1Samuel 18:21,25,29,

did Saul send]David out in battle to be kill

On 1st January as always my church gives everyone a chance to get a BIBLE VERSE of the YEAR for themselves. I got the verse "I have put my word in your mouth" Jeremiah 51:16, but I'm struggling to know it's full or proper meaning. PLEASE anyone explain Verse's meaning. PRAISE THE LORD.

Kay, you can keep better track of events within trumpets 5-6-7:

The fifth trumpet began tribulation: Rev 9:1-11 "Immediately after" comes the day of the Lord strike. The 144,000 saints are sealed from death, prior.

The sixth trumpet ( Mat 24:29) begins great tribulation: day of the Lord, Babylon falls; Ezekiel 21:1-5 both righteous and wicked are "taken"; Luke 17:34-37, the "taken" are dead, not raptured.

The seventh trumpet ( Mat 24:30-31) brings Jesus Messiah and his resurrected army of 144,000 saints to Mount Olive, Revelation 14:1

After the 1,000 years: 2nd resurrection.

There is no free ticket out. Too many confuse the saints' narrative with their own. Humans will leave the earth hanging from a thread, and they want right back in before the saints can clean it up? The McDonald pushed rapture doctrine is an aberration to the Word of God, yet so accepted in society. It's one of the first things a beginner learns; it's a mockery.

Spencer,

Do you think the 1st resurrection saints, Revelation 14:1, and elders, will be judged alongside the 2nd resurrection group, at the great white throne? Are they exempt, and weren't they judged in the twinkling of an eye at the 7th trumpet, 1,000 years earlier?

Sorry, I forgot to include the scriptural references for symbolism of things = days & years : Genesis 40:12, Genesis 40:18, Genesis 41:26,27,29,30,

Proverbs 1:5-7, 1Corinthians 12, 2Peter 1:20,21,

Starting with: Numbers 14:34,35,36,37,38 then, Ezekiel 4:6,

Daniel 9:2, searching the prophetic timelines,

Other years mysteries: Isaiah 61:2, Isaiah 63:4, Jeremiah 11:23, Jeremiah 17:8, Jeremiah 23:12, Jeremiah 48:44, Jeremiah 51:46, Ezekiel 46:17, Luke 4:19, Luke 13:8, Revelation 9:15, Daniel 11:6,

Sometimes in prophetic dreams things symbolized days & years,

additional amounts of time described at "times" Daniel 4:23,25,32, Daniel 7:25, Daniel 8:14,17,19,26

Weeks; Daniel 9:24-27, Daniel 12:1,9,

Days: Daniel 12:11,12,13, 2Peter 3:7-13,

Also a Day is like a thousand years unto The LORD: 2Peter 3:8, Psalms 90:4,

* Daniel 2:20-22, James 1:5,

Hopefully these are helpful to your study

2 Peter 3:8-9

You asked "how" to find Philippians 4:13, it should link you to this verse on the website. Also on the site top it has tabs for KJV version & 1611, if you click either, you can search Books, either in Table of Contents page, or by name, in search bar on right under header/heading on page.

If you're asking how to find how, [To do all things through CHRIST who strengthens me.]

1st, please read the verses prior in Philippians 1, note Philippians 1:6,9,10,11, &

2nd, Philippians 4:4 "Rejoice in the LORD always, again I say rejoice." meaning we can "rejoice" cheer up, (hail) enthusiasticly acknowledge The LORD's accomplishments. Knowing His Power, Truth, Love & compassion & purposes for us. If we Believe & have Faith in HIM & The WORD. For HE has a will & purpose for us all, Philippians 2:13, Philippians 3:21,

Philippians 4:6,7,8,9 are all actions we are to take. Philippians 1:11, Philippians 2:4,14,15, Philippians 3:13,14,

3rd Paul in bonds in Rome it appears, Philippians 1:12,13,14, Philippians 4:23,24, & in context of what he's saying in Chptr 4, verse 13. He says "I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound, every where and in all things. ...." in Philippians 4:11,12,13,

Note Philippians 1:19,20,21,23,24,

He's speaking I believe; the ability to endure even the worst of circumstances. Paul being an example of this: Philippians 1:29, following Jesus' example: Philippians 2:5-8, Philippians 3:8,10,

Hopefully these are helpful to endure any & every thing you have to face

Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names ARE NOT written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundations of the world.

GBU

Richard, not only is Revelation a parable, it is also signified.

Revelation 15:8 And the TEMPLE (you) was filled with the smoke from the glory of God, and HIS POWER .....

John 2:19 Destroy this temple (Christ came as sinful flesh, that temple (sinful flesh) had to be destroyed) and in three days I will raise IT (the new TEMPLE)(the new BODY (dwelling place) OF CHRIST)(we, the body, were raise up with Christ as the new TEMPLE).

Revelation 20:6 Blessed and Holy is he that has his part in the first resurrection ....

1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE OF GOD (filled with his glory and HIS POWER)......

Revelation 15:8 .......and no man was able to enter into the TEMPLE (the new BODY OF CHRIST) until the seven plaques of the seven angels be fulfilled.

The Father pour out, on Christ, those seven LAST plaques (the wrath of God).

Revelation 15:1 ....seven angels having the seven LAST plaques, which are the wrath of God.

Man CAN NOW enter into the TEMPLE (the Body of Christ), because the wrath of God that we deserved, was poured out on Christ.

We are that BODY OF CHRIST where GOD dwells and Christ sits at his right hand.

We do not need to be angry or go on a rampage. We do need to repent on behalf of ignorance as a nation. Intercede; stand in the gap. Ask the Lord to open all hearts of mercy to heal this curse. We can't fix it, but the Lord can. We only open the gate for the healing to begin. Mishael

Dear Kenny

Since nobody answered your question, i get the feeling nobody understood what you mean, just like me. What exactly do you want to know? Please make it clear.

GBU

WHO is Molech or Moloch?

The idol Moloch with seven chambers or chapels. It was believed these statues had seven chambers, one of which was reserved for child sacrifices.

The religion of the Canaanites was a hodgepodge of ancient Semitic faiths. Practiced by the people of the Levant region from at least the early Bronze Age, the cult of Moloch was still active into the first few centuries of the Common Era.

Moloch's name derives from the Hebrew word mlk, which usually stands for melek, or "king." As this is vocalized as molek in the Masoretic text - the authoritative text for Rabbinic Judaism - the pronunciation has become its traditional name.

The Masoretic text dates to the Middle Ages but references to a Molock appear in Ancient Greek translations of old Judaic texts as well. The distinction dates back to the Second Temple period between 516 B.C. and 70 C.E. when the Second Temple of Jerusalem stood prior to its destruction by the Romans.

Moloch's anthropomorphized bull figure was typically pictured in Rabbinic Judaic texts as a bronze statue internally heated by a fire. It was inside this construct that priests or parents placed their children to be consumed by fire as a sacrificial offering.

Ancient Greek and Roman authors wrote tales of this practice, with the earliest being stories of child sacrifices to Baal, or Hammon in Carthage. He was their chief god, responsible for WEATHER and fertile agriculture.

In the Bible, children were sacrificed in a Tophet, a shrine reserved for child sacrifice, outside of Jerusalem to Moloch's satisfaction. While certainly well-documented in religious texts, the historical and archaeological communities still debate Moloch's identity and just how active its cult was.

COMMENT: this was a Canaanite practice; NOT Christian or Jewish. Abortion is child sacrifice, but modern society does not know it as a child sacrifice. It has become a form of birth control.

I saw some people using mattwhe 6:24 as mening to qout your job and stop working for money. (Money rout of all evil ect.) And that tru way is to live on faith and to preche on street like apostle in acts.

Wendy, you find it by finding what TRUTH is.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Wendy, you are a new creation in Christ.

Christ came as sinful flesh (you were that sinful flesh) and DIED, Wendy, you, sinful flesh died on that cross, and as you died with Christ, you also arose with Christ, a new creation.

Colossians 1:27 ....that mystery....Christ in you ....

Philippians 2:13 For it is God (Spirit)(Christ in you) that WORKETH (Spirit)(Christ, not you, you died) in you both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

Ezekiel 36:27 And I (Christ) will put my spirit within you, and CAUSE YOU to walk in my statues, and ye shall keep my judgements, and DO THEM.

And truth shall set you free.

Philippians 4:13 I (Wendy, the new creation) can do all things THROUGH Christ which strengeneth me.

1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the (works of) the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us that are saved it (the workings of the cross) is the POWER OF GOD.
