Dear Grace, How are you doing? You haven't posted for a while, so I have been concerned about you. Let us know how you are doing and how we can pray for you. God bless you today and give you peace.

Tomeka,

I have prayed for you and your friend. Praise the Lord for His love and care for us. He hears our prayers and brings answers in His timing and in His ways.

Marietta,

Dear E.

I am praying for you when you post requests. I pray that God will answer all of your requests with blessing and salvation and good resolve to situations that are grievous. I pray for God to protect you and your family in this time of need. Amen.

Hi, How is Jeff doing? Is he recovered from his illness? I just wanted to check in. I have prayed for him, but I did not post to you earlier. Let me know how he is doing.

Momma, How are you and your daughter doing now? I have prayed for you in your loss. May God continue to comfort you both and renew your joy in His time. Amen.

Amanda, How are you doing. I try to get to most prayer requests, but in going back and reviewing, I noticed that I had not responded to yours. I pray Lord, Jesus, for Dallas. We ask You to strengthen his faith and commitment to You that he may withstand trials and challenges to his faith in the coming months and years. Lord, we know that You love our loved ones more than we ever could, thank you! We commit them into your hands, knowing that you work 24/7 in their lives, and we cannot. Bless Dallas, today, Lord. We ask these things in Your name, Jesus, Amen.

Dear Lord Jesus. Bring healing to Dale's pancreas and lungs quickly. We ask You to dive Dale what is needed to recover completely. We ask this in Your name Jesus, Amen.

Dear Mark,

I will pray for this retreat.

Lord Jesus, as these Juniors gather together at this retreat, we ask You to change hearts, minds and wills to align with You and Your Word of truth. May each Junior experience Your Spirit at work in their hearts and lives in ways that grows their faith in You and knowledge of Your Word. We ask that each of these Juniors become more solid in their faith and strengthened in their commitment to You. We pray for You to firmly establish them in their walk with You. We ask this in Your name, Jesus, Amen.

Dear Princess, I will pray for you. Lord God, Provide Princess with Your protection. Provide for the needs she mentions here. Bless her today with Your goodness and providence. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen

Donna, Like you, I am praying for my adult sons to return to God with repentant hearts renewed by faith given by the Holy Spirit. So, I also pray for your children to also return to the Lord. Lord, bring our prodigals back to You soon. Keep them safe and put roadblocks up to keep them from damaging and sinful choices. We are trusting You to answer our prayers, Jesus, for You alone can save these ones we love so dearly. Amen.

I know all that, Charles. Most people know water baptism follows salvation. Sooner rather than later.

"My people perish for lack of knowledge"

Not everyone knows that, upon Salvation; they are given the gift of the Holy Spirit, by Jesus. Indwelling within their spirit. Book of John teaches it.

That's why we need people to lead the lambs to the good SHEPHERD; of the Bible.

Jesus calls. We follow. He appoints. We follow.

We preach the GOSPEL__which is Jesus Christ:

Birth, life, death, resurrection. He made disciples__we make disciples. It's a five fold ministry: open your hand. The thumb is the apostle, the forefinger is the prophet; the middle is the teacher, ring finger the Pastor that carries Jesus's lambs, the little finger-the evangelist. The thumb touches upon all 4 fingers (Jesus).

Apostles are those who saw the risen Christ with their eyes. They were Sent to plant churches. Quite possibly they are missionaries that Go Ye all around the Globe_planting churches; building schools.

Don't disparage on what other Disciples are doing. Most of us are doing what The Holy Spirit shows us to be doing. Our work: good, bad, or whatever, is unto the Lord Jesus. There will be the Bema Seat Judgment to sort out the wood, hay or stubble_later. Jesus knows what's in our hearts, all along the way.

I've been an evangelist for 30+ years, over 4 states. I've moved 22 times. I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the POWER OF GOD unto Salvation. I love my life and it wakes me up happy, every day. I fix things I can, and give those I can't; to Jesus.

I am a story teller, not a scholar. I'm nothing without the Holy Spirit. I worship Jesus with my life; but the Spirit of Christ is the Holy Spirit and my beloved friend. We sing together sometimes. He doesn't even mind if I sing like a frog. I keep hoping for a miracle :D for other peoples sakes.

I'm 70 and I've witnessed the final generation:

The Terminal generation of the Fig Tree.

Donna, I have prayed for "momma".

Lord, provide for "momma" in miraculous ways in every area of her need. She is young, send her all the help she needs in caring for her children and learning to mother them properly.

We ask this in Your name, Jesus. Amen

David, I agree with you in prayer our leaders in our nations. Lord Jesus, release the supply of goods and supplies into our communities so we can have what we need. Supply workers in the supply lines to produce, ship, and distribute these goods and supplies. Help people learn to plant gardens to produce more of their own food to supply their needs and share with others. May our gardens grow well this season. Send water to the areas of drought. Cause the locust swarms to die off and other crop pests and diseases so that there will be a plentiful harvest for all to consume with thanksgiving.

We ask these things in Your name Jesus. Amen.

I was speaking of the son of David and Bathsheba when I asked that question.

April, I have been praying with you on these requests you post. Thank you for posting often to remind us to persevere in prayer and be fervent. God bless you today.

Hi David, I am hoping that God is meeting your needs as we pray for you over the recent months. Whenever I read your requests, I pray for your requests even though I do not always post to you. We would love to hear of how God is answering your requests.

Hi Donna,

I am writing down these names you posted so I can pray for you to bless them this week, Learning to forgive those who are against us is not very easy, but praying for them, asking God to bless them whenever they come on one's mind helps us forgive and learn to love these enemies as Christ would have us do. I appreciate your candor. We all struggle with things in our lives and we need prayer for many things. I am glad this is a forum where we can bring these things to people who will take us seriously and pray for us.

God bless you today Donna.

Thanks Bro Dan. My other one finally would not even turn on. So I have been trying to use my older I phone which has really small keys and screen. Was frustrating. So, had my birthday last weekend, and got a new laptop. WooHoo!

Being retired and still need to rest my aching back throughout the day. I bought a new laptop a little over a year ago and it has been so helpful as I have to pass time in my recliner so much. I was able to participate on this site and to search many topics of many sites to increase my knowledge of God's Word and work throughout history. Been quite fruitful for me. So, not being online much this past month or so has been a bummer. But I am thankful we were able to buy a new laptop.

I am filling journals with my findings and thoughts. That way, I can reference these when I wish to respond to someone's post here or speak with someone I know when we visit. i don't go out much because of covid and only meet with a few friends and family members. God has kept me well from viruses since March of 2020, which helps me control my asthma without exacerbations.

I am glad to see you back on the forum. There are a handful of folks we haven't heard from for a few weeks. You were one of them that I was wondering about. I have been praying for these posters and hope they come back to posting soon. I appreciate hearing their viewpoints and am helped by their contributions.

Be blessed today, Bro Dan.

Hi Charles,

My understanding is that the earth rotates on its axis producing the effect of day and night as a point on the earth will be facing the sun for day and not during the night as the earth rotates. The earth also orbits the sun. It takes a little more than 365 days for this orbit to be completed. We have a leap year every four years to account for the extra accumulated minutes over the four years.

Hi Charles,

I think that David had 8 wives that are named in Scripture. But He did have other wives and concubines. We do not know how many. Solomon had 800 wives and concubines.

Sister GiGi,

Thanks for responding. Recently, family and related issues have been keeping my attention. Although, I try to check in here periodically, and read many posts, but regrettably, I don't always have the time to give response.

Glad to see you are a regular here, love your posts, and glad that you are sharing God's Words!

God Bless.

According to scripture at the end of Revelation (chapter 21 and 22); the heavenly Jerusalem descends to earth; hence it becomes united as one and the same in essence. We have the earlier verses such as 1 Cor. 15:51 about the rapture and Resurrection occurring first; as an escape from the wrath which shall come in the Tribulation; otherwise referred to as "Jacob's Trouble". After this; we have the Millennium period when the heavenly city is suspended above earth (no doubt interacting with earth and moon's gravity). The very real physical changes of mountains being abased; valleys being exalted ( Isaiah 40:4 stated in reverse order) indicates the topographical changes due to this gravitational force; and no doubt Isaiah 66 indicates how the opening to hell will be brought forth to be observed by all which will exist in a peripheral area around the city where at that time there will be the greatest height on earth in heavenly Jerusalem once Christ lands on the Mount of Olives. Eventually; after the Millennium period there is "no more sea" according to Revelation 21:1. The elements which are said to burn up in 2 Peter 3:10-12 show the day of the Lord at it's finale. (It would seem since other verses in Peter state 1000 years are as a day that the Day of the Lord is the period between the Tribulation and the Great White Throne Judgment in its entirety).

In any event; we need to establish the right standing with God in order to enter the Kingdom; namely true faith in Christ now and the resulting indwelling of the Holy Spirit which is the sealing of the down payment as Ephesians and other verses indicate. We have in a sense already died to this world and have gone from death to life if Born Again; because the process of sanctification leads to glorification as a "done deal" ( Romans 8:28-30). There still will probably be a planet where the Heavenly City comes from that may be the whole heaven as it were. We will rule and reign with Christ on earth as well.

Hi Sister Gigi,

Amen for the new laptop!

I enjoy your writings and responses here so much, way to go!

Hey Dennis,

Satan is permitted, for a time, to rule over the majority in this world as we see when he tempted Jesus, Luke 4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

We see again Satan who deceived the whole world when he is cast down to earth permanently, Revelation 12:7-9. He then gives his power, his seat, and authority to the beast over the world, Revelation 13:2. But Satan is limited in accordance with God's will and he dwells in darkness and that is the boundary of his territory. Ephesians 6:12 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.

That is why we must do as in Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

If we walk in the Spirit and the true light is in us, darkness will have nothing to do with us, we have victory in Christ. The time is coming when Satan is cast down and gives his authority to the beast, those of us who are still living will see the darkest time and go through it, Jesus does not return until after the tribulations of those days, Matthew 24:29-31 Mark 13:24-27.

So, walk in the light and not in the manners of the world where there is darkness.

God bless,

RLW

Hi Charles,

I think that David had 8 wives. Solomon had 800 wives and concubines.

Udodirim,

Isaac was unhappy with Esau because Esau did not wait to take a wife from the family of Abraham back in Haran. Abraham's line was from Shem. Esau's wives were from the line of Ham. It seems that God must have designated the lineage of Shem to be favored and through whom He would work in history. We really don't know, but it was important to Abraham and Isaac that their sons marry a kinsman, not women from the tribes of Ham, who lived in the land of Canaan.

In this chapter; we have one of two infamous commentaries with a detailed description of Lucifer (see verse 12 for specific reference). The other passage in Ezekiel 28 gets into further detail of the "anointed cherub" and his downfall to what is now Satan. There once again; as in so many other prophetic passages in scripture a statement about a human emissary of evil (here no doubt the Antichrist or the "King of Babylon" as quoted in verse 4). He is also referenced as "the Assyrian" in verse 25. No doubt certain previous fulfillments from verse 28 to the end of the chapter with Palestina were fulfilled when King Ahaz died; but the current Palestinians also will face future judgment as earlier passages in Isaiah and elsewhere indicate.

The time element as to the destruction of Antichrist and the False Prophet who will go to judgment in verses 16 to 27 clearly comes before the casting of Satan himself to hell where the "Beast and False Prophet are" at the end of the millennium as stated in Revelation 20:10.

That section would be in verses 12 through 15 in this chapter as a cross reference. The actual brutal world dictatorship mentioned in verse 6 is followed by those in hell in verse 9. The kings of the nations could be also indicate the many nations in Ezekiel who are observing the same thing from the Kingdoms of earth in hell in Ezekiel 32. Those kings of the earth who are imprisoned could also be referred to here in hades awaiting final judgment in Isaiah 24:22. In any case; those who are part of his system will no longer build cities (verse 21); and Revelation discusses all the cities and towers falling. In the mountains of Israel the "Assyrian" will be put to an end (verse 25 and 26); and the living as well as the dead will know it. The section mentioned in verse 12 through 15 shows the original sin of pride and self worship that led to Lucifer's downfall; the end result being judgment after losing his place in heaven; heavenly realms; then the earth
