He who is born of the flesh is flesh, he who is born of the Spirit is SPIRIT.
Does SPIRIT need clothes, streets to walk on, houses with rooms to live in, windows to look out of, doors to go through, sun to give light, food to eat, water to drink.
Behold all things have become NEW.
You want exist as you do NOW.
You become the LIKENESS OF CHRIST (fullness of Deity), who only hath immortality (life with no end).
Ephesians 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and the knowledge of the Son of God,unto a perfect man, unto the measure and stature of the FULLNESS OF CHRIST.
Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be FILLED WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD.
Which is his body, the FULLNESS of him that filleth all in all.
Colossians 1:29 For in him dwelleth all the FULLNESS of the Godhead bodily.
Colossians 1:27 ...this mystery...CHRIST IN YOU....
John 3:13 No man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of Man which is in heaven (CHRIST IN YOU).
Luke 17:21 .....THE kingdom of GOD is WITHIN YOU.
Revelation 21:1 You are the NEW HEAVEN
I believe you gave us a view of the trinity. Gen. 1:1.In the beginning "El-o-heem'" created the heaven and the earth.
Gen 1:2.And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the "SPIRIT OF GOD moved upon the face of the waters.
Gen 1:3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Now I'm not sure if you're saying Jesus was created in verse 3 or not but we are sure it's not so according to these verses.
( ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM; and without him was not any thing made that was made.)
In him was life; AND THE "LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN."
Colossians 1:16-17. For by him were all things created, that are in HEAVEN, and that are in earth, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, whether they be THROWNS, or DOMINIONS, or PRINCIPALITIES, or POWERS: (all things were created by him, and for him:)
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
"Point here is we see Angels created here as well!!
And in Job 38:4-7. The Angels shouted for joy when Jesus created the Earth.
"Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
John 17:5. And now, O Father, glorify thou me WITH THINE OWN SELF with the glory which I had with thee BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.
Now we know he didn't come in the 4th Day!
Gen 1:16. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. THE SUN. "Also created!" You see a contrast of that light and the light of Jesus in
Revelation 21:23. and Revelation 22:5.
Revelation 3:14. Means in the sense Jesus is the origin and source of Gods creation. Colossians 1:15-18. and head of the new creation. 2 Corinthians 5:17.

Hello Helen,
Just a few scriptures that say about the bride/bridegroom.
Matthew 25:1-46 - Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Ephesians 5:27 - That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Mark 2:19-20 - And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
Revelation 19:7-9 - Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (Read More...)
Revelation 21:2 - And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Isaiah 54:5 - For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
Zelma Shalom
The heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same Word - the Word is GOD - are kept in store, reserved unto FIRE against the Day(the Lord's Day) of Judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
Remember: Isaiah prophesied: 33:v.10-14
10 Now will I rise, saith the Lord; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the FIRE.
13 Hear, ye that are far off- the Gentiles peoples-, what I have done; and, ye that are near -the Jewish people-people of Israel- , acknowledge my might.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring FIRE? who among us shall dwell with EVERLASTING BURNINGS?
.
Me doth suspect the lake of fire mockith us.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Paul now describes this partial knowledge of God as seeing a reflection in a dim mirror. Some scholars suggest that he had in mind Corinth's famous bronze mirrors, known for their imperfect reflections. After the coming of Christ, when the church is fully mature as He is, however, we will see God face to face, knowing Him in person instead of through partial revelation.
In fact, Paul adds, we will know God and His ways then as He knows us now. God, of course, is never limited in His knowledge. He knows everything there is to know about us, even what we do not see or understand about ourselves. In that day, when God comes to live among us ( Revelation 21:1-5), we will know fully, as He knows us fully in this moment now.
Mishael
In your studies of Revelation there are things revealed that can be answered by scriptures in other parts of God's word.
Christ SAYS destroy (crucify) this TEMPLE and in three days I will raise it (temple) back up (to life). He was speaking of HIS BODY.
Revelation 21:22 And I saw no TEMPLE therein (new Jerusalem): for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are THE TEMPLE of it.
Colossians 1:27 .... (revealed) MYSTERY ...CHRIST IN YOU...
This says Christ and the Father are the TEMPLE and that that TEMPLE is in you.
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells IN YOU.
Revelation 15:8 And the TEMPLE (Christ) was filled with the smoke of the GLORY OF GOD, and from his power; and NO MAN was able to enter in to the TEMPLE (CHRIST IN YOU), till the seven plagues of the seven angels were FULFILLED.
When Christ was on the cross, the seven plagues of the seven angels were POURED out on him; God wrath for all mankind was poured out ON HIM.
WE can now ENTER the TEMPLE OF GOD (Christ in you).
The seven seals, the seven plagues, the seven trumpets, the seven vials were FULFILLED at CHRIST DEATH AND RESURRECTION.
Every time a person comes to the TRUTH of Christ in you (new Jerusalem) descends from God and LIVES IN YOU.
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first were passed away, and there was no more sea.
Revelation 21:3 And I heard a voice out of heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle (TEMPLE) is with men (CHRIST IN YOU) is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself (CHRIST IN YOU) shall be with them, and be their God.
Revelation 1:3 ....For the TIME IS AT HAND (now, today)
Revelation 22:10 ....For the TIME IS AT HAND (now, today)
God said wars and famine and pestilence and death would be happening all around us while his WORDS WERE BRING FULFILLED IN MAN.
And waters mean; peoples, and nations, and multitudes, and tongues
Revelation 17:v.15 - 15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
No sea;
Revelation 21:v.8 - 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
On the other hand: Luke 20:v.35-36
35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (no sea)
36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
( Revelation 21:1-2)
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
What I don't understand is why would the earth pass away after the saints spent 1,000 years repairing it with Christ? What exactly are they doing with their time with Christ?
Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth PASS...till ALL BE FULFILLED.
Before Christ's death and resurrection, Christ DID NOT dwell or live in man; but in (old) heaven and (old) earth, the OLD DWELLING PLACE of GOD, temples made by man's hands.
After Christ's death and resurrection; the old heaven and old earth PASSED AWAY, and ALL THINGS were made NEW. A New Heaven and A New Earth. Christ now dwells in us.
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth (CHRIST IN YOU): for the first heaven and the first earth WERE PASSED AWAY (already completed).
This fulfils the words he spoke in Matthew 5:18, Mark 13:31, Matthew 24:35, Luke 21:33, etc.
The law and prophets were fulfilled at Christ's death and resurrection; therefore all the laws and ordinances of the Old Testament are NO LONGER IN EFFECT.
Heaven and earth HAVE PASSED; the law and prophets NAVE BEEN FULFILLED.
Have you ever stopped to think that YOU murdered CHRIST; not only you, but everyone born in a body of flesh.
If God does not save MURDERERS then we are all LOST.
1 John 3:15 Whosoever hates his brother is a MURDERER: and you know that no murderer has eternal life (Christ) abiding in him.
Revelation 21:8 But the FEARFUL, and UNBELIEVING,.... MURDERERS...ALL LIARS... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone....
Everything that the Son of God is, was, and will be was before this world was. So, Jesus was and is the bridegroom, but the bride has not been made ready as of yet. In Hebrew weddings the father who sets the day, he will not tell the son until the day the son will return, so everyone had to be ready to go at any minute. Jesus rode into Jerusalem first on a donkey colt. Revealing the King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation. Long ago if a king came on a donkey he was coming in peace.
When Jesus returns, He will be riding a white horse of war ( Revelation 19:11-16). Jesus will reign above all until the last enemy which is death shall be destroyed. Jesus fights that battle and the beast and false prophet will be cast alive into the lake of fire. Satan was locked in the bottomless pit for 1000 years. It does not say who casts Satan into the lake of fire, maybe Jesus since His sacrifice was what defeated him and saved us.
God bless,
RLW
I very much agree with you that all souls return to God. Who gave us our spirit as in Ecclesiastes 12:7.
Though as I believe Jesus Christ is at the right hand of God and on the Throne of God in Heaven. As Acts 7:55, Colossians 3:1-4, Hebrews 8:1, Revelation 3:21, Revelation 21:22-23, etc.
I believe I will see, and be with, Jesus Christ, God our Father, and our whole family in Heaven.
God Bless. Have a wonderful day!
2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this FIRST, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
This says you can't take one verse and come to truth, you have to combine verses from other parts of scripture to know the message.
I suppose you are making reference to Revelation 12 where Satan was cast from heaven. Let's put other verses with this and see if truth appears.
Matthew 12:28 But if I CAST OUT DEVILS by the Spirit of GOD, then the kingdom of God is COME UNTO YOU.
Christ is casting out Satan so he can dwell IN YOU (THE NEW HEAVEN).
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven... Colossians 1:27 ...this MYSTERY, Christ in you....
Revelation 12:7 And there was WAR IN HEAVEN (Spirit vs. flesh) (in you) Michael (Spirit) and his angels fought against the dragon (flesh); and the dragon fought and his angels.
Revelation 12:8 And (flesh, dragon and his angels) prevailed not; neither was their (dragon and his angels) place found ANY MORE IN HEAVEN (in you where Christ dwells).
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was CAST OUT (if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God), that old serpent (that deceived Eve), called the devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the WHOLE WORLD; he was CAST OUT....
Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice (truth) saying in heaven (in you), Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of HIS CHRIST....
Luke 10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
Luke 10:18 And he said to them, I beheld SATAN as lightning falling from heaven (those that Satan was CAST OUT OF).
God bless!
I know Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the image of the invisible God as in Scripture. Also that He is ONE with God as in Scripture. I haven't separated Jesus Christ from the Father who indwelt Him? When did I say the Father and the Son were the same? I never said that and don't believe that. Though they are ONE as with the Holy Spirit. 1 John 5:7.
I believe it's pretty safe to say that everyone who comes here knows there is ONE GOD.
You also have the freedom to believe whatever you want. I don't know what "fake Christian teachings" since 325 AD you are talking about. The Holy Bible along with the Holy Spirit is my teacher.
If you think you have all of God's mind & ways understood, I'll just say be ready to find out it's much more than anyone can comprehend. If you think you are smarter than everyone else good job. The most important thing to me is to follow the footsteps of Christ and live for the Will of our Father.
It seems there is no reason for us to go any further. As you didn't answer the question about Revelation 5&6 where it is the Lamb(Christ) who takes the book and opens the seals. Though you say the Father does this. Also about what Spirit indwells in us after being saved or your thoughts on the "rapture" with Scripture.
Jesus Christ our Lord died for our sins. I strive to live for our Fathers will and am His for eternity. Galatians 2:20, 1 John 5:10-11, Revelation 21:22-23.
No need to reply if you don't feel comfortable. Thank you for all your time.
God Bless you John.
The battle of Armageddon is a battle as real as any battle; yet this battle isn't with natural weapons of warfare. Study Isaiah 9, it's a prophecy about Christ, the kingdom of God, and the battle we fight to obtain the kingdom (CHRIST IN YOU).
Isaiah 9:5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood, but this (battle) SHALL BE with BURNING and FUEL OF FIRE.
Isaiah 9:19 ......And THE PEOPLE shall be the FUEL OF THE FIRE (CHRIST)....( Hebrews 12:29)
Revelation 9:18 By these three was a third part of man killed, BY THE FIRE (CHRIST)( Hebrews 12:29) ....
Ezekiel 5:3 Thou shall BURN a third part in the fire (IN CHRIST) ....
Ezekiel 5:4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the FIRE (IN CHRIST), and burn them in the FIRE (IN CHRIST)....
Isaiah 4:4 When the LORD (FIRE) shall have washed away the filth of the DAUGHTERS OF ZION, and shall have purged the blood of (new) Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the SPIRIT OF JUDGEMENT and the SPIRIT OF BURNING.
Zachariah 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the FIRE (CHRIST) .....
Malachi 3:2 Who shall abide the day of his coming (CHRIST IN YOU)? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiners FIRE.....
Matthew 3:11 ....he will baptise you with the HOLY GHOST and FIRE:
Revelation 21:8 But the FEARFUL, and MURDERS ( 1 John 3:15).....and ALL LIARS shall have their part in the lake that burneth with FIRE (JUDGED IN CHRIST)...
Joel 3:14 Multitude, multitudes, in the valley of DECISION: for the DAY OF THE LORD (TODAY) is near in the valley of DECISION.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
John 1:3
"All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."
God made his son Jesus Christ.
Matthew 17:5
"While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him."
This is my Son -hear ye Him.
2 Peter 1:17
"For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
Jesus Christ was made by God and God was pleased with his son.
John 14:13
"And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."
Jesus Christ is the WORD and the Word is God.
Jesus and his Father God are One.
God Bless
At Revelation 21's point, it's post seventh trumpet, so when is comes to God and Jesus, the two have become virtually interchangeable. Jesus proclaimed Himself to be the "Alpha and Omega" in Revelation 1:8; 21:6; and in 22:13, where Jesus identifies himself as "the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end" in red words.
There's more:
Isaiah 44:6 "I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God".
Isaiah 48:12 "I am he; I am the first, I also am the last"
Jesus is the Word, a prime mover, who speaks in unison with the Great God Almighty.
John 10:30 sums it up.
This is post last trumpet transfigured Jesus, and I believe when He says He's God, He's God.
Revelation 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
John 12:49
"For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak."
John 12:50
"And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak."
God Bless
Revelation 21: 5-7
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Here, resurrected Jesus is the "mighty God", is the "everlasting Father", and God enough to make Genesis 3:22 proud.
Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Best of health and Spirit to those reading this today.
God Bless all.
May CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did FOREKNOW...
Very few will disagree that God creates every man; since, he created the reproductive process of man; therefore, he FOREKNOWS everyone.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he did ALSO PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the IMAGE of his SON, that he might be the FIRSTBORN among many BRETHERN.
Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED (presently God is ONLY CALLING those that will be PRIEST in HIS KINGDOM) (the servants in the kingdom will be called at the second resurrection), and whom he CALLED, them HE JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED.
Ezekiel 5:3 Thou shall also take thereof a FEW in number ....
Ezekiel 5:4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the FIRE (IN CHRIST; Hebrews 12:29), and burn (purify; Malachi 3:2-3) them in the FIRE (IN Christ); for thereof (the Priest) shall a FIRE (the saints judging the world; Revelation 21:8) come forth to the house of Israel.
NO ONE is going to alter GOD's PLAN; whatever God PREDESTINED that you are going to do in his kingdom, YOU WILL DO.
All is the works of God; he uses man to do the labour.
1 Peter 1:2
Ephesians 1:5
Romans 9:13
John 5:70
Ephesians 1:4
Ecclesiastes 3:1-9
Hebrews 4:3 For we which have believed do ENTER INTO (SABBATH) REST, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into MY (SABBATH) REST: although THE (his) WORKS were FINISHED from the foundations of the world. Christ has been RESTING since those first six days; you are defiling the SABBATH if you are not also resting (IN CHRIST'S WORKS): THE WORKS ARE DONE (COMPLETE).
Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor setteth in the seat of the scornful.
Christ is declaring kis WORKS that the death and resurrection of HIMSELF will bring to mankind. At his APPOINTED TIME in each of us. HIS WORKS!
Proverbs 16:6 BY MERCY and TRUTH iniquity is purged.....(his works)
Romans 2:4...not knowing that THE GOODNESS of God leadeth thee to REPENTANCE? (his works)
Isaiah 27:12 And it shall COME TO PASS in that day (NEW COVENANT) (day of the Lord)... ye shall be gathered ONE by ONE (appointed time)...(his works)
Revelation 21:3 ...Behold, the tabernacle (temple) of God is with men...CHRIST IN YOU (his works)
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that YE are the temple of God (new heaven), and that the SPIRIT of God DWELLETH IN YOU. (his works)
Revelation 21:22 And I saw no temple therein (new Jerusalem), for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb ARE THE TEMPLE OF IT (CHRIST IN US). Accomplished at the NEW COVENANT. Death and resurrection of Christ. New heaven (NEW dwelling place of God) and new earth (new body; no longer dust, but THE GLORY OF GOD)! (his works)
The old heaven and the old earth are symbols of the Old Covenant. The new heavens and new earth are symbols of the NEW COVENANT. The sea is also symbolic of:
Revelation 17:15 .... The waters (seas) which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea (remember Abraham was told the people would be as the sand of the sea), and I saw a beast rise out of the sea (multitude of peoples).....
WE all start our lives under the power of the prince of the air (Satan; serpent of the sea).
Isaiah 27:1 ....even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
Revelation 21:1 ...and there was no more sea (Satan was defeated at Christ resurrection ,the NEW Covenant.
Revelation 21:3 ...Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men....
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and the SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLETH IN YOU?
1 Corinthians 15:55 O Grave where is thy victory? Accomplished at the NEW COVENANT.
Revelation 1:3 .....for the time is at hand....Fulfilled at Christ death and resurrection.
Hebrews 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet..... But now we see not YET all things put under him.
We are in the DAY OF THE LORD. One day; that hasn't been completed YET.
Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto to you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot and one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Your comment was: the heaven and the earth has not passed ...yet
WHY HASN'T IT PASSED; natural eyes see what has always existed. When the new covenant CAME the old disappeared; BUT, you didn't naturally see it happen. You know because the WORD tells us.
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and first earth passed away....
When Christ died and was resurrected by SPIRIT all things became NEW.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be IN CHRIST; he is a new creature (CREATION); old things have PASSED AWAY; behold all things have become NEW.
Psalms 102:18 This shall be written for the generation to COME: and the people that shall BE CREATED shall PRAISE THE LORD.
Psalms 102:26 They shall perish, but thou (the word) shall endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture thou (the word) shall change them. and THEY SHALL BE CHANGED.
CHRIST'S rule upon earth is not done from the natural Jerusalem existing in Israel east of the Mediterranean Sea; it is done through NEW JERUSALEM described in Revelation 21.
Revelation 21:22 And I saw NO TEMPLE therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the LAMB are THE TEMPLE OF IT.
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was offered ONCE to BEAR THE SINS of many; and unto them that (the SPIRIT causes) to look for him shall he APPEAR THE SECOND TIME (second coming) WITHOUT SIN UNTO SALVATION.
NEW JERUSALEM is ruling NOW. You can live in NEW JERUSALEM NOW.
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a NEW HEAVEN and NEW EARTH (born of the SPIRIT): for the First heaven and the first earth were passed away (died on the cross with CHRIST);and there was no more sea (that the beast came out of). Revelation 13:1
Revelation 21:2 And I John saw (in vision) the holy city, New Jerusalem, COMING DOWN FROM GOD (SPIRIT) out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
John 3:13 No man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is IN HEAVEN (CHRIST IN YOU Colossians 1:27)
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and the SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLETH IN YOU.
Revelation 21:3 And I heard a great voice (Holy Spirit) out of heaven saying, Behold, THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN, and HE SHALL DWELL WITH THEM, and they shall be his people, and GOD HIMSELF (SPIRIT) shall be with them (and in them), an be their God.
WE SUFFER in THIS FLESH; until this flesh dies, and we are given the BODY OF CHRIST.
1 Corinthians 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have PUT ON incorruption, and this mortal MUST PUT ON immortality.
1 Timothy 6:16 ....Who ONLY hath immortality.....
Luke 1:69 ..raised up a HORN of salvation...
Revelation 17:16-17 and the ten HORNS (saved) ... shall hate the whore, and shall make her DESOLATE and NAKED, and shall eat her flesh, and BURN HER WITH FIRE.
