Mt.24.27-31 "Eagles"( 1 of 3)

"For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together."(v.28) We shall compare it with is already stated."And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh."(Rev.19.21)

Jesus in his discourse over the end times warned his disciples and it applies in our case as well. The heresy of sects also extends to eschatology, which is farther from truth. For example St Paul refers "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid." (Rom.6.1-4) A Russian sect Khlysty literally devoloping on these created an occasion for debauchery to which the name of Rasputin stands pre-eminent. He was a celebrity as we have similar rogues preaching another Christ and another gospel.

After the beast and his false prophet are sent to perdition we have an angel in the sun,"And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;"(19.17) The carcase are the slain and the sun referred here is a sign. In the Covenant we read of two great lights provided for under day Four. The word sets Angel of the Lord associated with the Word was God. Thus we have the Word of God as the King of Kings, the angel of the Lord, the Word which was with God. Invitation is to all the fowls that flies, notice the expression, 'in the midst of of heaven. It is a direct reference to the four living creatures in the inaugural vision o Ezekiel.

In Rev.4 St John sees the single measurement the throne representing the Word, the four beasts 'represeting the eagles or over comers' and himself as the man. "And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel." The 24 elders and four beasts together make up the body.

"And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men."

Here we have four periods of time in which the day and the year refers to the Father relationship. Months and hour relate to Jesus in his relationship to the nation of Jews and the Gentiles.

This is your hour as in this verse,"When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness."(Lk.22.53)

We have an instance of the months with regards to the outer darkness, "But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months." (Rev.11.2) We are shown the beast in Rev.13.1 and in v.7 "And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months."(v.5) Notice this beast is given power from the devil to continue meaning that it the eight beast, an unclean spirit, "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition."(Rev.17.11) Perdition is narrated in the ch.19.20: "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."

His arrival onto the world stage, yet to manifest itself continues from the little horn mentioned in the fourth beast in the night vision of Daniel Ch.7

Year and day is set lockstep with Father Son relationship. Jesus is word become flesh. What of Ezekiel whom God calls 'Son of man'? "and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year."(Ezek.4.6) Ezekiel serves as the double for Jesus.(Ezek.3.1-4)

Hello my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus!

I had a thought... maybe a clarification is needed. The bible talks about how God took six days to create everything and rested on the seventh. I understand that man should keep the sabbath day holy, but what is considered work? Cleaning? Cooking? Are doing those on the sabbath considered not keeping it holy?

Why do the Church of Christ believe they will be the only saved people?

The Sabbath continued :-

Is it not also written that we are made kings and priests unto God"?

Of what irder? Of Malchezidech.

In the temple not made with hands . If then they are guiltless in the flesh in the temple made with hands how much more then the true saints of God ?

Now is not the foundation of the Sabbath as it is understood by many based upon Genesis and of how Hod rested on 7th day?

Who can deny it ? Then what do you make of that scripture that says " we are to rest from our labours even as God did from His"? Hebrews 4:10.

Again I say this not for contention but that one or the other be fully persuaded in their own minds and be at peace and with each other .

Collisions " Ket no man judge you in meat and drink or in respect of an holy day or a new moon or a sabbath day ( which are but shadows of things to come )"

Endless 'debates' therefore about the Sabbath are not only unfruitful but barred in scripture .

The above is hardly an definitive exposition of the subject but it is or shouild be enough for any spiritually minded Saint to avoid such needless contentions and perhaos a foundation for further study for clearly there is more to the subject than what is commonly held on the matter .

But I repeat again what Paul writes if you or any esteem one day above all other days go in peace and be at peace with yiur brethren or if you esteem all days alike does this not also apply? And not to judge your brethren in the matter ?

For clearly it is not either or but rather if we are IN Christ he is our peace and we should rest from our own works and rest in Him .for we walk by faith do we not ? And " after the Spirit and not after the flesh"

The Sabbath, pause for thought .

Any even casual perusal through the gospels will reveal that the Lord had the most oroblem and in some occasions opposition by those whose perceptions and understanding of the Sabbath was as such at variance with His.

To the extent that up to the last week on earth and despute over three years of teaching and ministry and his teachings on the Sabbath they still opposed Him on that very issue . The man with a withered arm was there and it is written he looked upon them " with anger" . and then proceeded to heal the man on the sabbath .

That alone shouid give us all pause for thought and ring a warning bell in our hearts lest we find ourselves opposing the Lord .

For if anyone gets on their high horse about the issue and brings needless contention to the body then take note of how much grief those of old caused when the Lord walked this earth .

So I'm going to oresent some scriptures and an argument of sorts for food for our thinking .

Let us first go to Romans 14:5. " One man esteems one day above another . Another esteems every day alike . Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind "

This past therefore is not intended nor should it provide fuel fir needless contention . If you esteem one day above all others and are fully persuaded of the matter in yiur own mind then be at peace and with your brethren who may esteem every day alike " There is a verse in another letter stating this but at present I can't find it . Be that as it may clearly there shouid be no contention between brethren if that is what they are on what day you esteem another etc . If there is contention is is not of God or the Spirit but rather of the flesh.

But here is another scripture one refered by the Lord Himself when faced with objections to his or the disciples actions .

Mathew 12:5 . " Or have you not heard that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple perform the sacrifices and are guiltless "?

To be cont :

Dan.7.17-18 "Four" (3 of 4)

"These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth./But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever" The Spirit instruct us that the saints shall take and possess the kingdom. This is what Jesus Christ shall do and he is the Word of God on the white horse coming out of heaven."And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." He is shown being accompanied by armies."And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God./And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Firstly notice the vesture dipped in blood. It the another bookend to what we read in context of the fall of man. "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them." (Gen.3.21) "and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."(1 Jn.1.7; Jn 1.29) The slain Lamb in the will of God when sent to the world is the Lamb of God. When the Son of overcame he became the Law and it is what Law of the Spirit confers on him. He was anointed with the oil of gladness before his Advent. So what is the Word? It explains Jesus in his flesh was the Saviour of the Word and his Atonement is complete. Jesus Christ the Law also reconciles the time element. We are predestined, "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love/Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,"(Eph.1.4-5) Ade we among the army of saints in spiritual bodies or ministering angels for heirs of salvation is not for us to say for certain. He that led us into the God's rest is faithful. The just shall live by faith.

Dan.7.1 "Four" (2 of 4)

Why Four gospels? Four aspects of God necessitate the Fellowship of God with Man state in terms of man who is the recipient of divine blessings. Covenant of seven days is everlasting that means there shall be one other.

The Word was God, the Word was with God the Word become flesh and the fourth aspect is Jesus Christ the Son of man who is the embodiment of the Law of the Spirit reconciling heaven and the earth unto himself. "And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven."(Col.1.20). The Command number 4 when set into life of man is in multiples of tens. All flesh is set under the law of sin and death and is set against the Spirit. God said, my spirit shall not always strive with man,' for that he also is flesh'. When the Son is sent to the world the word does not change it meaning or emphasis. Before he began his ministry "And was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,/Being forty days tempted of the devil."(Lk.4.1-2) Similarly before the risen Christ would receive a kingdom he was seen by his apostles 'Being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:"( Acts 1.2-3)

This serves as a book end to Moses before he would receive the Decalogue,"And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights." (Exod.34.28) The word sent forth makes a full circle so the Word is perfect converting the soul."His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."(Ps.19.6-7)

The Holy Spirit also speaks of ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for heirs of salvation. "behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea."(Dan.7.2) and "And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth."(Rev.7.1;Heb.1.14)

Might Hebrews 11:3 be the most brilliantly simplistic reason and definition of Quantum Physics ever given, 2500 years before it was discovered?

Gen.1.14-20 "Season and time"-5

"And the evening and the morning were the fourth day." The Covenant in seven days is the key to the entire God document and it is Holy because the word is holy. "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."( Jn 17.17). What do seven days indicate? The Word is the Law of the kingdom of light and the two great lights are 'great' to distinguish them from the natural lights dealt in v.14. The lesser light shall rule the night so the outer darkness is not left to do what it pleases as we see the events unfolding in Gaza. God shall judge them. So between season and time there is a period which in the vision of Daniel is called,"they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time" The four beasts are world empires in which the number four establishes the Word which was God. The word that has gone forth shall never return to him void. The Word which was God says Amen to him. Here we have the Law setting four as a command number for the Word. Jesus is the word is set in terms of the Son so this compound number 4x3 signifies the gospel preached to the people. Jesus did not pick up the passage at the synagogue but was given to him,"And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written," (Lk.4.17) By the same token the man clothed in linen tells Ezekiel and there is no mistaking,it is a warning to Israel, " and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel." (Ezek.40.4) Beast is tagged with number 42 and is made up of 6x7. The beast in 13.1 goes to war with the holy city which is not literal Jerusalem but against the will of God. "t was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there." Compare 6x6x6x1000 and 12x12x1000

1 Timothy 2:12

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. Does this verse mean a woman should not, in any case, have authority over the man?

Jas,5:17-18 "Three and a half years" (3 of 4)

In the beginning was the Word, By the same token in the fulness time is what the Father has set in his dvine Will. "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months./And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit." What does his prayer prove? Elias just like one of us praysvand God answers, This three years and six months refers to gis Son. His assertion that My Father and I are one was never in question nor in doubt. This is how the Covenant has been worded and not an iota or jot of it shall be changed. Mind tou we are talking about th natural world and God set the light for seasons years and days. God framed the worlds by the word and whosoever has faith shall be entangled with the Fatherin his Son. The Holy Spirit organizes the narrative on reconstituted time so the sign Three and a half years refer to the Word which was Law.

"And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word."(1 Kngs 17.1;2 Kngs 2.24) It is according to my word which is another indication of entanglement. So when Elisha curses the 42 sons of Belial, "And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them."(cursed them in the name of the Lord' sets it on behalf of the Father, The Word is not merely sound or the sign but Jesus Christ the embodiment of the Law of the Spirit. 42 is a number refering to the earthly ministry and is set in months. It has relevance to this Jesus was manifested to destroy the works of the devil. "And power was given unto him (the beast) to continue forty and two months."(Rev.13.5).

Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Dear all of you who ponder the Word. I'm going straight to the point.

Are we alive or are we dead Christians? What does the scripture say. Now, I've just mentioned a few scriptures. Are we alive or are we dead? We are dead to sin, right? Rom 6:11-13 So what does alive mean in that context? Are we alive or are we dead? 2 Cor 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. So in plain text it must be that in sin there is death. And in the Spirit there is life. So what are we dead or alive? In Ezekiel 37 it says about the dead bones. Which God made alive. Quite interesting, as we ask ourselves today whether we are alive or dead. When we know that the Spirit that lives in us is alive forever. Of course we will be too. So our living spirits today will never die. So are we alive or are we dead? We live for all time. So what happens then, when Jesus comes back. We are not dead! We live no matter if we have been dead in the body we carried for 100/1000 years, we are still alive with Him when He comes. In the Spirit.

What that means, I won't say more, but each reader must judge for themselves. What happens then?

Love u all

Gen.1.14 "Seasons and time (2 of 4)

Jesus declared to the horror of the Pharisees,'I and my Father are one." What is God, the Father of lights and his Son the true Light,'which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.'( Jn 1.9) This relationship can be explained. Here is a bit of Science and if anyone disagrees, he may look elsewhere.

There's just something about the quantum world that doesn't seem to make sense in ours. Bouts of migraine in most sufferers seem to be triggered by solar flares. The light takes some eight minutes to reach us but it triggers migraine earlier than that. Why?

The story begins way back in 1935, Einstein and associate-physicists found something strange. They entangled two particles- let's call them Alice and Bob - so that their physical properties were linked even across wide distances, and anything you did to one particle would impact the other. Intuitively, you'd think that if you had access to Alice, you'd know way more about her than you would about Bob, who's a distance away. This is also what you'd expect given Einstein's proof called EPR paradox: By studying Alice, you actually learn much more about Bob than you do about Alice. It is this Jesus Christ the visible image of God signifies in terms of light. So time required for a solar flare to reach a migraine sufferer is unnecessary. By the same token we are entangled with God in his Son. Let us take Enoch's case, "And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."(Gen.5.24)

The Covenant referring to the natural says,'and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years." So how we walk has its counter sign in heaven. Our faith is acceptable before God, the Father,"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."( 1 Jn 1.7). From the analogy of RBob and Alice by knowing Jesus we know more about his Father who as light has no variableness.

Gen.1.14 "Seasons and time" (1 of 4)

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:" Here we have the Covenant in which the purpose of these lights are fixed. Seasons days and years are stated therein. Notice that here is no mention of weeks. Weeks are set by man for his convenience.

The segnificance of the day arises from the decree of the Father. "I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee."(Ps.2.7) So the Spirit supplies us seven days to indicate each of this day runs seriailly without pause, 'continually to use the term'. Here is a verse:"And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."(v.5)

God divided the light from the darkness and this shall run on as a steady beat till the point of time there shall be no more night. This Covenant is set and it is God who determines when. This point refers to the year. So acceptable year of the Lord in the Isaiah quote refers to the will of the Father. These seven days according the decree fall under the authority of the Son.

It was within the Will of the Father to send his only begotten Son to the world. ( Jn 3.16) The Spirit serts time as part of the Covenant to incorporate the earthly ministry of the Son of man.

This explains the phrase Time, times and half a time'.(Rev.12.14) In accordance with the spiritual truth Col.1.9 Jewish nation shall be judged in terms of Jesus whose ministry runs Three and half years or 42 months. In the Revelation ch.12 we have two references" Notice the number of days in v.14? "And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."

When is the Lords day ? According to scripture.

What I mean is whether there is still a deep need for the commitment required or to find a starting point instead of literally learning "all" theologies.

I recognize the impossibility of mastering all traditions, emphasizing that depth rather than breadth is a realistic path to learning.

Some key points I am exploring are diversity of traditions, historical context, and the recommendation to focus on specific areas.

How long does it take to learn all theologies?

I am asking this because the world of theology seems incredibly vast and deep. Even within one religion, like Christianity, there are many branches-Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox-each with its own unique teachings and history. I am curious if it is even possible for one person to truly learn and understand them all in a single lifetime. I want to know if this is a journey that takes years, decades, or if it is truly a never-ending pursuit of knowledge. My goal is to understand the scope of such a study

Where is the Church/the Body of Christ during the 1000 years?

From a dispensational perspective:

The Rapture ( 1 Thess. 4:16-17; 1 Cor. 15:51-53) removes the Body of Christ from the earth before the tribulation begins.

After being caught up, the Church is with the Lord in heaven ( John 14:1-3; Col. 3:4). Paul speaks of believers being presented before Christ in glory ( Eph. 2:6-7; Phil. 3:20-21).

During the Millennial reign ( Rev. 20:1-6), Christ rules on earth from Jerusalem, fulfilling promises to Israel. The Church, however, is not seen inheriting earthly covenants but reigning with Christ from a heavenly position ( 2 Tim. 2:12; Eph. 1:20-23).

So: Israel (and believing nations) inherit the earth and the kingdom promises, while the Body of Christ enjoys its sphere in the heavens. Both programs glorify Christ, but in distinct realms.

Is the Great Tribulation the same as the Wrath of God?

Dispensational teachers usually distinguish them:

The Great Tribulation ( Matt. 24:21; Rev. 7:14) is the last half (3 years) of Daniel's 70th week, marked by Antichrist's persecution of Israel and intense satanic opposition. It is a time of "Jacob's trouble" ( Jer. 30:7).

The Wrath of God ( Rev. 6:16-17; 1 Thess. 1:10; Rev. 15-16) refers to God's direct judgments poured out through the seals, trumpets, and bowls. These extend over the whole 7-year period, but intensify toward the end.

They overlap but are not identical: the tribulation highlights man's and Satan's wrath against God's people, while the wrath of God is His judgment upon the rebellious world.

Summary:

The Body of Christ is in heaven during the 1000 years, glorified with Christ, while Israel and nations are blessed on earth under His reign.

The Great Tribulation is a time of satanic persecution (especially against Israel), whereas the Wrath of God is divine judgment upon the unbelieving world.

Grace and Peace.

Are the Raptured Saints Taken to Heaven?

The Rapture is not only the catching away of believers but also their transfer to a heavenly destiny. Scripture consistently distinguishes the Body of Christ's hope from Israel's earthly kingdom promises.

Christ's Direct Promise

In John 14:2-3, Jesus declares, "In my Father's house are many mansions I go to prepare a place for you I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." Since Christ ascended into heaven ( Acts 1:9-11), the "place" prepared is in heaven. At the Rapture, He receives believers to that heavenly home.

Paul's Revelation of Our Heavenly Citizenship

Paul affirms that "our conversation [citizenship] is in heaven" ( Phil. 3:20-21). Believers await Christ from heaven, and He will transform their bodies to share His heavenly glory. In Col. 3:1-4, Paul writes that when Christ appears, we shall appear with Him in glory. Eph. 2:6-7 further shows we are already spiritually seated in heavenly places, confirming our destiny above.

The Rapture Texts Lead Upward

In 1 Thess. 4:16-17, believers are caught up to meet the Lord in the air, leaving the earth behind. The transformation in 1 Cor. 15:51-52 fits saints for life in glory, not an earthly existence. This upward catching away marks the beginning of our eternal presence with Christ in His realm.

Contrast With Israel's Hope

Israel's prophetic saints are promised an earthly kingdom ( Jer. 23:5-6; Matt. 19:28). The Church, the Body of Christ, is promised heavenly blessings ( Eph. 1:3). These two programs remain distinct, preserving the unique hope of the Church.

Conclusion: The saints are not left on earth after the Rapture. Christ Himself promised to receive us into the Father's house. Paul declares our citizenship is in heaven, our blessings are in heavenly places, and the Rapture unites us with Christ above, forever in His presence.

Grace and Peace.

To all that be in Christ,

Scripture interpreting Scripture, a closer look...

When Scripture has no direct verse to compare with, you must widen the lens. Paul writes of "comparing spiritual things with spiritual" ( 1 Cor. 2:13). That does not always mean identical wording, but weighing a truth against the larger framework of God's Word.

1. Context First - If no parallel passage exists, let the surrounding verses, chapter, and book define meaning. Who is speaking? To whom? Under what covenant or dispensation? James 2:24 has no duplicate, yet its setting among Israel's kingdom promises clarifies its force.

2. Broader Categories - Even if words are unique, the themes often appear elsewhere. Terms like "faith," "promise," or "sacrifice" echo through many passages. By aligning the principle, you connect threads without forcing exact matches.

3. Contrast When Necessary - Sometimes Scripture compares by distinction. Paul says, "not of works" ( Rom. 4:5; Eph. 2:8-9), while James says, "by works a man is justified" ( Jas. 2:24). The harmony comes by recognizing two audiences and programs, not contradiction.

4. Let Clear Explain the Obscure - Unique verses must be interpreted by clearer passages. A difficult or one-of-a-kind phrase never stands isolated; it submits to the wider testimony of God's Word. For example, Revelation's "new heavens and new earth" is illuminated by Isaiah 65 and 2 Peter 3.

5. Theological Coherence - Above all, the Spirit never contradicts Himself. Even where no verse is repeated, the whole counsel of God supplies balance. Doctrine rests not on one obscure statement but on the harmony of all revelation.

Summary: Comparing Scripture with Scripture is not limited to finding duplicates. It includes weighing context, drawing out themes, noting contrasts, and letting the clear explain the rare. Where no direct comparison exists, the Bible still interprets itself through its unified testimony.

Grace and Peace.

Lk.4.18 "Acceptable year of the Lord.' (1 of 2)

At the synagogue at Nazareth, Jesus reads of the unction he received of the Word was God. Here he is reading the mandate he received accrding to the scripture. Inhis death and resurrection he became the Anointed One, meaning the Law is embodied as the Word. So the writer to the Hebrews speak of the son as the same yesterday, today and forever. The Throne of God is hyphenatedis with the Lamb and not with the Son. God tells the Son,"The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool"(Ps.110.1) He is now the Law setting every believer as priests and kings forever."And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."(Rev.1.6)

There are several ministries priests and kings are enjoined to do.What does outpouring of the Holy Spirit means for a believer who is predestined to reign with Jesus christ. Having entered into the God's rest we have them in the key passage:

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me ....to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,"

Tp preach deliverance to the captives go hand in hand with setting at liberty and nations that are destined for eternal punishment create Haves and havenots.Just as Europe dumped their refuse in the new continent we see the same in reverse. Babylon is only for billionires. Look at prisons filled with men created in the image of God. Unjust laws of the land creat them bruised and shut in. The Parable of the Goats and Sheep sets the deliverance of the believers thus:"Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?"(Mt.25.44-46) We are predestines so we serve as kings priests in in his stead.

Deut.3014 "Truth"

But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.' God is perfect so He tells Abram, before He sanctified him with a new name, "I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect."(Gen.17.1) Jesus also tells the same thing."Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." (Mt.5.48) God breathed into the nostrils of man and made him a living soul. How truth is impressed we may learn from this simple experiment

You can supercool water at home: Throw a bottle of distilled water in your freezer, and it's unlikely to crystallize until you shake it.Similarly you may claim truth is within. But unless you shake it by faith it is non-starter.

Freezing usually doesn't happen right at zero degrees for much the same reason that backyard wood piles don't spontaneously combust. To get started, fire needs a spark. And ice needs a nucleus - a seed of ice around which more and more water molecules arrange themselves into a crystal structure. Seven molecules are enough. It is thus we enter into the everlasting Covenant with faith. Seven molecules are your days in which heavenly blessings connect with our vile bodies. Faith is like the nucleus. So Moses says,"For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?"

"(vv.11-13) These blessings come from faith when it is fully followed. Science may call it ice nucleation so seven drops of supercooled ice freezes the entire swimming pool. Similarly how anyone may walk with God. In the quantum world we have entanglement, which anyone may look up, if interested. Heresy of Dispensationalism is obvious: whole or nothing. Either you make truth direct your steps or none at all.

2 Thess.2.11 "Strong Delusion"

"And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:"

St Paul could be specifically referring to our present times. Heresies are flowing into the heart a cesspool of catchphrases and failed dreams so Making a nation great again like giving a new lease of life to the monster from the swamp. Go, west young man was a cry we heard. How the west is doing as the cancer in the south is spreading into vitals of the nation. One might call this manifest destiny of being false to God and man. "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved." It is a strong delusion so we see lie parading as truth. It is a Carnival time!

The Law has set seven days, a whole number to keep the simple and prudent from harm. They fight their own battles from the armoury of God. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."(Eph.6.12)Satan has invested in the seven heads of the beast. Each head is a lie tried as a mantra to make the nation great. How did the Eugenics program fare. For that matter the Red Scare of the 50s? Then there was this domino theory that with the Red's running over Hanoi all other nations will topple down like dominoe. Then we have had chicken hawks. Oh my strong delusion and it now breaking fresh grounds, all the way to the lake of fire and brimson.

I would like for several people to give me some knowledge about revelation ch. 21, the whole chapter?

i would be very thankful for your answers.

thanks

"I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it "

" Unless God builds the church them that build build in vain "

The tabernacle in the wilderness was not of Moses own making and imagination but rather it was after the latter he saw in heaven and thus Hods blueprint . Not man's .

It was of such exactitude that any deviation from it brought death .

How can any man learn the Holyness of God if not by it?

" and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" Somehow ithas crept into the churches thinking that it's the gates of hell attacking the church and not prevailing that has taken hold of the people of Gods Indo .

But when has ANY gate attacked snyone?. We are talking about the dates of a walked city here . The gates being the weakest part of the wall are thus the most heavily guarded .

I don't all together understand what that phrase means . But this is certain it is the gates of hell that are in trouble not theChurvh of Jesus Christ .

This though is true . Adam if he had not eaten of 'that'tree would never have died. Jesus could not die nor could "anyone take His ife from Him" But being born under the Law and for sin laid down his life.

Now the death has a sting and it is sin "and the piwer of sin is the Aw " Death couid not keep him out for " He who knew no sin became sin" " open up ye gates.." Death and hell could not keep Him in for he had not sinned Himself .Thus God couid raise aHim from the dead having fulfilled the law .

He tasted death for every man and took out the sting of death . Are we not " Crucified and buried with Christ"?

Is it not written we are raised together with Christ also?

His witnesses must be to His resurrection and a transformed life by not being dead but alive unto God and the darkness over cometh it not . Fir sin has no more dominion over you in Christ . And He in you.

For what is MORE than a conqueror ?

2 Cor.4. 3-4 "God of this world"

"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost./In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

We all belong to woke generation. The word has been in use since 30s. It has a cultural context but here we use in the sense the manner the devil has beguiled Eve and ever since nations have been rallying under a beast who is the son of perdition. The shroud that covers the nations are being pulled apart by God.In Isa.25.7 we read it as a shroud "cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations." It may be mass hysteria where a mere reading of the War of the worlds created panic.in the streets.In 1938 people showed how irrational fear could be. Eugenics programs jumped across continents forced sterilzation in the USA was driven by fear and culture than science

We see also anti-woke. In Tennessee we recently found a county Sheriff was idolized as a hero but now McNair county does not know what do with one who staged an ambush, which is a museum of sorts but it covered domestic violence by a brute who smashed his wife's jaw and shot her in cold blood. Is bringing a victim of domestic violence. If truth is br and giving her justice denied is it good or bad? Conservatives have their heroes but revering a lie or being 'woke' suddently raises temperature! Will the patriots of Jan 6. Capitol and their instigator end up on Mt Rushmore? Poor Emmet Till was lynched on a a lie. The woman who casused it confessed before her death that she lied. Was she woke? Tulsa massacre was hushed up and thus nation fool themselves. God recognises only two nations. Consider to which nation you belong, nation of light or of darkness? The rest are fodder for fire and destruction,

Hello, I was wondering do you know of any online church that teaching the original king James Bible? If so can you please give it to me. Or a stand along church? Thanks

Romans 3:31"Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."

2 Corinthians 3:3 "Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart."

I need all the old testament that lead to or speak of Jesus.

Num.12.7 "Moses and Jesus" (4 of 4)

"My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house."

Who is a servant? Jesus defined it thus. "Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin." ( Jn 8.34) James comments on it, "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." ( Jas. 4.17) Moses was faithful in all mine house.' He was anointed as Jesus was so God cast him forth even before he was born to all intent and purpose he could called 'after our likeness' and a double for the Son. God set him a task to speak unto the Israelites,"Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say." (Exod.4.12) His meekness exasperated God, and there was plan B, "And he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. 15And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do." Compare Mt.10.40 and Aaron became his mouthpiece. Moses could have served as the high priest after the Order of Melchizedek, and a double for Jesus Christ. Aaron by default became the branch, in a accusative sense and he presided over the golden calf thereafter. Not fully trusting in God he failed there. The same failure shall come up at Kadesh/ "And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them."(Num.20.11-12)

What does the number 10 in the Decalogue indicate. Ten is the number of cndemnation. He was called to be the Savior of a nation but failed. He brought forth quails "And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp"(Num.11.31)
