@Pr.K.G.Johnkutty,
If you will read Exodus chapter 6 through chapter 12, you will see the children of Israel were captives and slaves in Egypt for 430 years. Until when God sent Moses to deliver them and bring them to the land He (God) had promised to Abraham!
@Pr.K.G.Johnkutty,
Here, God is telling the course of things. He is not actually the one sending Abraham’s descendants into captivity, but is just telling what will come next.
The reason God is telling that is because He promised that land to Abraham’s descendants, but could not give it to them unfairly; the actual occupants of the land, the Amorite were sorely misbehaving. However God was not yet in the right to take them off that land, because their iniquity was not yet full ( Genesis 15:16).
And God uses no favouritism, because even Israel itself faced same punishment when it disobeyed God.
I have a doubt on Genesis 15:13. Why did God say to Abraham that his descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs? Kindly clarify the exact reason for this.
Since John 17:3, Philippians 3:8-10, Matthew 7:21-23, verse 9 covered by a thick cloud, Jeremiah 29:13 that the people might hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever. John 6:17-8; 8:12. Jesus marveled in Matthew 8:10. Is there a greater marvel elsewhere? Is the only disease (BELEVING A LIE) caused by either Deception, or Pride. 1 Corinthians 4:7 there is only One God Who cannot lie, Hebrews 13:8. Who says there are no absolutes? The statement is an absolute, humble unselfish FATHER already knows everything, and is the answer, yet humanity is so wrapped up in their shallow little plans they miss the mark. His Glory Revelation 4:11, Galatians 2:20-21, Genesis 15:1, Philippians 3:12 Came here to understand this veiled verse 19:13 but got sidetracked. Sound unfamiliar 2 Corinthians 3:18, Ephesians 4:13.
@Sincere,
That’s our perception as human beings in our limitations. But God is above all and knows all. The Bible here is just telling this round, but no one knows how did those people get that land.
God knew the practices of those people, their practices were bad in God’s sovereign sight. God knew they were getting worse and worse, so He took the resolve to remove them from that land. But not before they reached unacceptable levels, Genesis 15:16.
And that is not because He liked Israel and disliked those people. But because of their misdeeds. God does not choose people; “…God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.” Acts 10:34-35.
The proof is that Israel himself got corrupt in the course of time and ultimately suffered same consequences. Because there is no preference with God.
We judge about what we know, unfortunately we don’t know all. So let’s listen to God who knows everything.
God bless you.
Perhaps there is one sin from which has two causes and Three basic pathways:
1. Unbelief (hath God said?) Beleiving A Lie John 16:9;
2. Deception, i.e. NutraSweet™(deficiency) Proverbs 12:20;
3. Pride Isaiah 14:13 Proverbs10:13 (Self-centered) cancer, Toxicity;
4. 1 John 2:15, 16, all problems are spiritual and deal with RELATIONSHIP. Missing the mark John 17:3, Matthew 7:21, Genesis 15:1. Thus also natural realm there is only one sickness; Cellular Malfunction i.e. Dr. Otto Warburg's famous speech while Accepting Nobel Peace Prize in 1931 on cancer and its Prime cause due to Deficiency of oxygen thus Toxicity in dna i.e. Non efficient toxic city, mass production of...;
5. Seven major pathways: Nutrition, Toxicity, ....
For all you smokers and drinkers out there. You all turn and the guy upstairs for alcoholic and drug addict and sex offender… Turn and dedicate your life to the lord. If you’re one of these people the only reason you’re still living is, because God is trying to give second and so face the lord.
This second chapter of the book of Proverbs, is like others, depending upon what they contains. It invites whoever dares to believe, towards the God type of humility, where the eye gates, the ear gates and the mouth gate are used in such ways that their usages becomes pleasing to God ( Genesis 15:6; Hosea 10:12). In actual fact, it confirms that there are no other ways into getting in the things of holy righteousness except through godly obedience ( 1 Timothy 3:16).- and then such a person cannot but learn and conduct Himself in accordance with the Word of God. In other words how to walk in love, becomes known and imparted, in such a way that he conducts himself humbly, committed and, yet in agreement with the dictates of godliness. The reason being that, as far as the truths of God’s Word are concerned, there are assured blessings on the other side of obedience. God, will never default on His Word- hence it is wise and worthwhile to take Him at His Word. This reveals and signifies that, God, in His faithfulness, desires to bless and impart whoever loves and believes Him through Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and has the necessary knowledge and wisdom that pertains to the task He has for them. God is the giver of whatever good things that man is after on this planet that are in consonant with divinity. That refers to such things that pertains to life and godliness- thus the importance of hearkening to His Word ( 2 Peter 1:3-7). God is a shield and buckler to those that love and honor Him, Psalm 3:3; Psalm 18:2; Psalm 119:14; Proverbs 30:5; 2 Corinthians 1:20), and His promises, are yea and Amen. Blessed be the name of the LORD forever!
In verse 15:13, I don’t believe it was a punishment but a course that had to be taken for the people to get what God had promised Abram, such as in our lives today at times we have to go through to get what was already promised, we don’t know the exact way God gets us from point a to point b, sometimes we do know that it takes faith and works with obedience to move mountains as the word tells us. Think about it, the faith of the grain of a mustard seed, find a mustard seed and then the grain if that and tell me, this is part of what you need to make things change in life. Be blessed and pray for me as I pray for you.
It is God commitment to Abram that surely he won't die still Crying for the child, or he will never die childless, He will die and be buried happier and blessed and peaceful because his wish has been granted......!
Acts 8:37 corresponds with other portions of scripture in the Bible, both New Testament and Old Testament. Romans 10, John 3:16-18, and Genesis 15:6, among others. I don't see why it isn't in all the versions.
It comes down to "be happy with what you got". Be happy with the stars in your life. So if you only have one kid, that's one star that shines brighter then the others. Amen....
13. Not just us, but you! When you except it and know it. It is an invite. When you receive the blessings of others. 14. Christ Jesus is Anointed/God`s Saviour. The word "Jews" at the end is Resident, kenites mixed in with the Jews. Its not always speaking of Jews but the people that had mixed in and the "they" crucified Christ at that time. ( John 8:44…will give you an idea of who they are. Study the scriptures and it will lead you back to Genesis 3: 15 the serpents seed. Revelation 2:8 and 3:7 the two churches Jesus loved is the ones teaching the key of David about them,"they" the jews that say they are jews but are not. # 7017 kenites sons of Cain. They mixed in 1Chron. 2:55. Also God`s 10 enemies are listed in Genesis 15:19,20,21. So we learn that 2 of every flesh made it through the flood, 2 kenites. It got so bad that the Nethinims, given to service, wood cutters and water haulers for the priest that in the book of Ezra 8:15 there was "none" nope, not one priest but a bunch of kenites playing preacher. But they started watching it and Jeremiah watched the bunch of vipers and even then they had mixed in with the Jews and finely did what scriptures states in 3:15. But Christ will return and He will crush Satans head for sitting where he ought not playing instead of Christ. Just keep Christ in your mind as written in 1 Corinthians 11:10 because Satan and his bunch of vipers are coming as 2 Corinthians 11:13,14 and that transformed is #3345 disquise. Satan as instead of Jesus and satans vipers as priest with iron breastplates, meaning priest breastplates on acting as angels of light but are not spoken of in Revelation 9:9 also hair like woman means soft spoken. Yup! Super preachers and they will take your family members to death who is the son of perdition who is death. But they know the truth and don't want to go. We find antichrist an abomination. So for 2 and a half months while satan is here there is no buying or selling and we don't bow down to no fake god we wait for our True King and husband Our LORD Christ Jesus.
this scripture is God telling Abraham that his seed will be in a strange land among some strange people and mistreated. this is a future event only link to the African Americans in america.No we know why God let them suffer, think about it. you telling my the profits could see the future and couldn't see the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and write about it? the African Americans are the tribe of Judah.
this chapter is as plain as can be. it is true that the lord is our sheild and a rewarder of them that love him. but what is more important is the act of excercising faith. faith is a prove that he is god.
Comment to Jeff's question. I believe the human body will die out but the spirit will continue on. So that is how we will continue on with our new glorified body.
LOL. its so amazing how Proverbs 3:5 clearly reads Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and LEAN NOT unto thine own understanding but still people carry out these self interpretations. smh. Take a look at Ephesians 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism. now out of all the lies, religions, and philosophies thats floating around the world always always remember that ITS ONLY, ONLY ONE TRUTH ABOUT GOD and if you don't know what it is then don't speak on it. if it applies be offended. simple as that.
Aye; are you guys Pentecostal? Baptist? King James 1611; Genesis 15:13; Acts 7:6,7; Israel 1948 + 70. Jeremiah 25:11; Daniel 9:2; and Revelation 17:5. Less the Seven Year Tribulation. Church sleeps, should awake at Midnight Hour. Israel also must prepare for their Messiah reinstate most Mosaic Laws. God bless.
I like the way Joseph Prince interprets this. Because God causes Abraham to fall asleep the true covenant is not made between God and Abraham, but God and Himself (or Christ).
The fiery pot and the burning candlestick rep. Christ. The covenant occurs when the two partakers pass thru the dead carcasses and it's understood if you do not hold up your end of the covenant, the same thing that happened to these animals will happen to you.
And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land [that is] not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
A great deal of people take this as a sign of the period of SLAVERY. HOWEVER, is just a fulfilling of the time of war with the enemy (Satan) - We will all go before the judgement seat and be judged and receive what rewards are given.
I don’t get how this makes sense to "Infinite number of stars exist" men will eventually die out, and then we will be judge. So humans won’t continue forever right? any1?

God is moved by faith and whenever we exercise faith in God he will respond. In some area we have faith , but in other areas we fall short.
I believe God wants us to believe in him fully so that he can truly bless us.
