New Testament by chapter and verse
Where was James located when he wrote the Epistle on James?
John 6:39 indicates that Christ will lose none that the Father has given Him. As to the rapture/Resurrection from the dead; we of course can read in Thessalonians and Corinthians on the event. The latin word comes from "rapturo" which means to snatch out; quickly remove.
A fundamental misunderstanding comes when the doctrine of Predestination is ignored in scripture; and God's initiation of salvation based on those of His choosing. Romans 8:30 makes this pretty clear and many other verses; particulary the Gospel of John are helpful (read John 10). Our repentance and sanctification as well as good works are all things the Lord has prepared in His Providence (see Ephesians 2:10). On our end; we are responsible to make a public confession; repent and live a Godly life; but if we attempt to do so without being regenerated we are trying to be saved on our terms. In the flesh; we can do as Judas Iscariot did; who was BTW called and chosen; but predestined to be the "son of perdition" as prophesied in Psalm 41:9. What is known as "decisional regeneration" by those who truly become Born Again must change our avoidance of consequences of our actions to that of a new regenerated heart which loves God. The Lord chastises all He loves ( Heb. 12:6).
These verses sort of fit together. It appears many are left behind to endure the Tribulation who were either tares or perhaps who thought they were saved. If they are to be saved; they will endure martyrdom and finally produce fruit to "make their garments white". Whether that includes backslidden believes now; I can't give a certain answer. We should all keep Luke 21:36 in mind as certainly all believers aren't in that mindset today. Agape; Rich P
Finally Gideon comes out. God tells him the deal. Gideon is kind of shocked. He asks God to throw out a fleece, twice, because he's not sure God is serious.
It's kind of funny. He gives this huge army to Gideon to lead. He takes them to a river and they all start drinking, they're thirsty. God starts whittling down the army by how they drink the water. Gideon is getting nervous because his army is dwindling.
Finally God shows him the men who get face down and lap the water like a dog would. Their weapons were in their hand, faces up looking for the enemy;
and God says these are your guys! They're ready for anything.
They went out on the battlefield and slay their enemies! It was a great victory. Always ask God to go with you into the battle. Pray. Ask God to anoint you for battle. And ask him for angels to assist the soldiers throughout the battle.
I've had times when I asked for angels to help and I know they did!! I almost had my neck broken; another time I gave someone a ride home from church. He pulled a 10 inch knife out of his jacket and hissed like a snake all the way to his house.
We have to ask God and not just assume or expect Him to anticipate the danger or the needs. We don't command the angels. They serve God. He sends them.
More than that, we need to go into battle covered head to toe, with the Blood of Jesus, as Christians. Non-believers do not have that. My army friend that did 4 tours in Afghanistan, would preach to his men and have altar calls. If he lost a guy, at least he knew he led that young soldier to Christ.
Judges 6 (verse 12)
Joshua had just died. He's another you could teach too.
Imagine how Gideon felt being chosen to lead the Army?

Gal 3 :29 kjv..If ye be in Christ then are you Abrahams seed and heirs to the Promise which is the H.G...A new Inner man The very Kingdom of God in us...But this New Innerman the H.G....has to be BORN in us via the seed of Christ...Thats y he is saying unless ya receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in....The Child of Promise has to be born in US....Thats y He always refers to himself as the son of man...Mankind has to bring forth fruit unto God...Thats y he has to know us,...Thats when the good seed is sown in our hearts...And the results of that good seed sown in in our hearts is a Spritual birth...

Put the verse in Google; put a comma and type COMMENTARIES, Bible
I choose the ones with Bible in their link (BibleHub, Bible ref, and others)
Reading them opens up the scriptures.
Compare Matthew 24 and Luke 21, to disaster websites on YouTube: the Two Preachers, Angry Earth. Seeing the truth happening every day is an eye opener.
What's happening in the USA is on the level with a lot of prophesy. Half of the USA is in serious drought. 5 states out west are trying to figure out how to divide water up amongst them. They need water for electric.
What few have thought of; no rain, no water, NO CROPS! The food shortages will go on until this nation cries out to God every day for rain. The book of JOB says that God owns the storehouses of rain, snow and hail. Let's look that up, ok? I pray every day for rain, for cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, everything we eat. I hope a lot more people will join in, asking for rain to fall upon us.
If MY PEOPLE who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray and seek My FaceTHEN will I hear them
We need to pray and fast; make it a habit.
Fast from food, tv, social media, video games, the usual stuff. I don't watch tv at all. I watch videos on youtube to stay on top of disasters, thought leaders meetings, UN statements, right now many places in China are underwater. Africa has drought & most peoples livestock has died. South Americans are coming to USA because they've endured a year of flooding. No homes no jobs, it's all washed away.
If we care about this nation, no offense intended, we need to unite in one party color to get our VOICE as a nation, back.We don't have to be going through this. We have resources. I have 3 words: Reregister your party at the post office. The times of us against them, is over. They don't listen to us anyway.
