Hi Amasuca, It sure does look like the millennial reign! It definitely speaks of a future that is different from what we have now. The prophets are interesting and complicated. It has helped me to know where they lived and what was happening to them at that time. But so many prophesies can be repeated, in a manner of speaking. The exodus will happen for us too. Jesus will take us out of the land of slavery to live in houses we did not build.

It's so nice to be chatting with people who obviously love Jesus and yearn to see him. The land is barren where I live.

Blessings to you!

Hadassah:

Why do you think those wars didn't solve anything?

Did not God cause those wars?

Is he not the God of the earth?

Is not HIS WILL being done on earth.

Is not his ways, not our ways

Can we see the end as he sees he end?

Are the wars going on today not his works?

Matthew 24:6 And you shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars: see that ye BE NOT TROUBLED, for all these things must COME TO PASS, but the end IS NOT YET.

God Bless you

Amasuca;

Micah 4 is a prophecy of Jesus Christ (the Kingdom of God).

It has been happening to the called out now for 2000 years, ever since John came PREACHING: prepare ye the way; for the kingdom of God, is AT HAND.

Colossians 2:27 .... this MYSTERY .... Christ IN YOU ........

God Bless You

Hello Hadassah, Christian greetings! An afternoon meditation. Christ the warrior has sent his message of the Gospel into his servants hearts and changed their own works unto His. By the bow the Spirit of God goes on before and behind our life's witness of Peace both conquering and having conquered.

Matt.7:16-17 "That your joy may be full"

In the last of the three chapters we are examining the doctrine of God as Jesus applied in his own life so we look our own lives under the true Light and it is like a candle we search our inner lives by the in-house tutor. (Pr.20:27). He assured us,"ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full."( John 16:24). Joy is fruit of the Spirit. If this is the truth one need seriously examine wherefore joy is missing from abiding life. St Paul testified amidst all kinds of adversities and perils, "Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice."(Ph.4:4)

Abiding life means we have let the risks and irksome minutiae of swimming against the currents into our Redeemer Lord and let our faith go along with His lead. He is our Good Shepherd. There is no split in our eye of faith and what our natural eyes behold. Where such a contrary worlds a believer creates we have the situation found in our key text. He has a public persona which is completely odd with his inner vision. He professes like a lamb but if let he is ready to shred whosoever stands in his way. "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." The proof is in their fruits, "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."(7:16-20)

There is no escaping from God the Father of lights who in giving his Son the redemption of our souls expect clarity in our purpose and walk. Do not expect one may indulge Jesus talk and fool all but God is not fooled by his crooked shadow.

Hi Jema "It's like coming home to a warm house on a cold day." Lovely. Perfect description.

"All those wars in the name of God, for example the crusades did not solve anything did they"

Hi Bennymkje,

Well, it depends on whose side is being asked that question.

For the Catholic rulers and its antichrist system, the crusades were a great success.

By now, everyone has heard of Free Masons, Illuminati, Adam Weishaupt, Rosicrucian, etc etc etc. The war against our LORD is intense.

But, like Moses said, the LORD is a man of war. Ex 15:3. Our LORD is commander of the host.

One of the difficult things for me , in regard to forgiveness , is being able to let go of the pain . If someone has done something very bad to you ,and you decide to forgive them , that's good but , how do you let go of the pain that they have caused you ? Your forgiveness might be genuine but what if the pain of what they did to you is still there ? How do we get rid of that pain ? In my experience the only way to ease these pains is through prayer to God to ask Him to heal the painful wound . Thy Kingdom Come .

Just watched pastor Robert Morris talk about forgiveness , thoroughly enjoyed . Give it a go if you are struggling with this most important thing :) .

Matt.7:9-11 "Ask"

"Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?/ Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?/If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children,"

Children of men ask their fathers than from a stranger. There is a bond stronger than words can carry and he is not let down. If so how much more shall our father in heaven give to us. His perfection covers the unjust as well as the just.(5:48). Abiding in Jesus we must learn to align with him to ask the perfect gifts. 'Let thy kingdom come' so we are taught by the Son. Instead asking what is beneath the holiness of our Lord Savior is demeaning. "Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not./Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts." (Jas.4:3-4) Jesus said,"My kingdom is not of this world," if we ask for things to consume upon our lusts than bring glory to him we certainly ask amiss. When some wanted him to arbiter between division of their inheritance he refused to be a party. He was not there among them to judge their quarrels. So how do we interpret vv.1-2? "Judge not, that ye be not judged./ For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."

Abiding in the Son means to forbear till such time he shall in his glory separate the goats from the sheep so the glory covers not only us but his Father as well. "That God may be all in all".(1 Co.15:28). Trust in his Son's judgment is essential. "In thee is the fountain of life. In thy light we see the light. So we lay aside every selfish desire,('lusts') to seek his kingdom first. " But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." 'These things' refer to vv.30-31

All those wars in the name of God, for example the crusades did not solve anything did they

Brotherraybrown

What does the Word of GOD say?

Re.11:4 - These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. (Whatsoever is more than these or is added comes of evil).

The two olive trees

are to produce oil for the two candlesticks.

They are the Old and the New Testaments-i.e. the Word of GOD-, the Word is GOD, understand? John 1:1

The two candlesticks

are two Churches: The Jewish Church - Hebrews 12:23; and Gentile Church: John 10:16

For example: Revelation 1:20 - ... the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches (of Asia).

Who will be in the scenary from now on or in this end of the time is Michael, a prince of the LORD sent by JESUS as the God of the earth (as Moses was sent as the God of Pharaoh), he appeared to John in the midst of the seven candlesticks as one like unto the Son of man. Now he will be in the midst of the two Churches -TWO CANDLESTICKS as above cited- and to the TWO OLIVE TREES above cited WILL BE(IS)given Power to shut heaven that it rain not in these days of THEIR prophecy: and have Power over waters (OVER PEOPLES, AND NATIONS, AND MULTITUDES OF ALL TONGUES-FOR HE THAT IS ABOVE IS ABOVE ALL- John 3:31-36) to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. The Word is GOD, self-executing, understand?

Be careful and get ready

Amen Jema, Amen. I needed that. I will read and re-read. Thank you and God bless you.

RichFairhurst"

Yes, you are right, truer, for you did an excellent biblical study and got to a true conclusion that is confirmed even by the Word of GOD. According Exodus 12:40-41 the children of Israel dwelt in Egypt 430 years. Paul Apostle says the same in his epistle to the Church of Galatians- Galatians 3:17.

God bless you, and remain prepared with your lamp(GOD's Word), and oil, (because only lamp is not suffice to meet the Lord JESUS), so that your lamp does not go out in this turn from the sixth to the seventh Day, the Lord's Day, for it's midnight at GOD's clock and the darkness is great and is dangerous. Remember Psalm 91 as a whole, here I highlight verse 5&6 that say: 5 "Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; ... 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; ...

Again: GOD bless

They are not actually given in Revelation and there is always a discussion about this and lots of different opinions . Keep reading the Bible , every day . Eventually you will come to your own conclusion , which may be right or , it maybe wrong :) .

It is only God that supports me , physically mentally emotionally and spiritually , He alone gives me strength and cheers me up and calms me . Always give Him thanks , always trust Him , He is real He is alive and He is right there with you . Whatever you are going through , He hears . It might seem like a silly little thing that is bugging you and you don't like to ask Him for help with it , but ask Him ! You are His child and He loves you and if you need help ask Him ! Thy Kingdom Come .

Get back into the habit . Even just one verse a day is ok . Pick a time when you know you won't be disturbed and you are nice and relaxed . Maybe start reading one of your favourite books ? As soon as you start to read it again you will feel so refreshed , it's like coming home to a warm house on a cold day . You won't want to leave :) .

please remember me and my family in your prayers please pray for Jessica

Matt.7:5 "See Clearly"

"Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."

In the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant(18:21-30) we have the servant who apparently let a beam in his eye and it prevented him see the unsurpassable riches of mercy held out to his account in heaven. This ran to 'ten thousand talents' an enormous amount in terms of his salvation. By forgiving his past God showed mercy on one who was 'dead in trespasses and sins' and taken into service.In his refusal to keep his eye of faith ever fixed on his master he was persecuting a fellow servant who owed an hundred pence. He reduced the worth of his salvation to a paltry sum. He would not abide in his Son so saying 'once saved is saved enough' teaches us our own problem. The Power that raised his Son must be active so " 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."(Ro.12:2)

The same hypocrisy in our personal conduct as ambassadors is what convulsing the activism of the Evangelicals.

Nowhere in the Bible the Spirit tells of God's mercy as being expressed once. "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not./They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness."(La.2:22-25) God breathed into us and made us living soul which also serves as a sign. In Trinity body of the Son serves as the soul of Zion, collective name of every soul redeemed by the perfect sacrifice. (Ps.50:5) "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." With abiding life we are learning to prove the perfect with into which without the grace of Jesus Christ is nul. ( John 15:5)

"Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined." This perfection is what we have in terms of light.

Now reexamine this verse, "if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light."(v.23)

Please pray for me to start to read my KJB Bible again.I am so overwhelmed right now.

I believe based on Acts 7:2-7 that the 430 years began from the day the "God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was still in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, and said to him, 'Get out of your country and from your relatives, and come to a land I will show you.'", which began the sojourn of the sons of Israel. This would mean that God's first appearance to Abram occurred on the 15th day of the month Nisan, which was exactly 430 years to the day before the children of Isreal left the land of Egypt on the first day of Passover.

It appears from Gen 11:28-32 that Abram told his father he was leaving Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Cannan, but this resulted in his father deciding to go along and take Lot with them. Terah ended up taking the lead in the journey and caused Abram to settle in Haran until Terah's death. Abram was 75 when he resumed his journey and reached Canaan where God told him "To your seed I will give this land." However, he allowed Lot to come with him.

Gen 13 and 14 shows that there were two stages in Abram's physical separation from Lot, where Lot first chose to sojourn to the cities of the plain of Jordan as far as Sodom, and then became entangled in the war and captivity of those cities, leading Abram to have to pursue the captors to deliver Lot.

I believe Gen 15 took place when Abram on the 15th of Nisan exactly 30 years after the original call God had given when Abram was in Mesopotamia and 400 years before the Passover when Israel left Egypt. If chapter 15 also occurred in the same year that Sarai gave Hagar to Abram when he was 85 ( Gen 16:3) then that would mean Abram had spent 20 years in Haran with his father and 10 years in Cannan continuing to interact with Lot before he had fully separated from his family. This explains why God chose that particular night to finally impute righteousness to Abram's faith and to pass through the sacrifice to make a covenant to give the land as his possession ( Gen 15:18).

In Revelation 11:3 what are names of the two witnesses

Hi Hadassah, Great reply! It was comforting to read.

You know, I just read Micah 4 recently, and that looks a lot like the millennial reign.

Maybe take a look at that, and tell me what you think.

Hi Gigi,

You do make a good point that the feasts are not a mandatory requirement to be kept (with the exception the seventh day sabbath).

But, the prescribed feasts are God's teaching tools. Through the feasts we learn of God's plans, his character, his personality, the reasons he does what he does. The spring feasts pointed to Jesus who did come as the Passover lamb. The fall feasts point to the great day of atonement and the ingathering of Israel, (you, me, all believers).These things are yet to come, but hopefully very soon.

With the great day of atonement (Yom kippur) we see the end of sin, and the banishment of the scapegoat (Satan) into the desert wilderness. That's exactly what will happen. When Christ takes his church up to heaven for 1000 years, Satan will be roaming all alone on a desolate earth. This will give him plenty of time to think about what wickedness he has done while he waits for his fate. And, through Yom Kippur services, we are able to visualize our High Priest Jesus Christ officiating at the altar and interceding on our behalf. The tabernacle and the temple in Jerusalem were COPIES of the original, which is in heaven.

Now, nobody studies any of this because Paul said don't bother? I don't think that is what he meant at all. But anyway, because Paul said everyone is free of that, many Christians instead embrace Easter (pagan roots bunny, Ishtar, eggs), Valentine's Day (Catholic saint), Christmas, (Santa reindeer, elves) , Thanksgiving (which was probably the feast of tabernacles). And, Halloween.

Halloween, the Devils most important holiday.

"Anton LaVey, the founder of the church of Satan said that by dressing up, either by wearing a costume or coloring oneself for Halloween, is tantamount to worshipping the devil and signifies that you allow Satan to own you." Nila Eslit 25 Oct 2019. Culture. Why Christians Should Not Celebrate Halloween.

Thanks for your ear, enjoy that family time, and stay healthy.

Sincerely,

Hadassah

I'm so glad that you, and me, and many others brothers in Christ JESUS, all of us are linked to the personal invite of our Lord JESUS that He left for us through His angel, after His ascension, mainly for the generation of the last days like us: Revelation 22:16-17

17 The Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. (This is our daily and continuos message for now on)

16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Hello Seasdaisie

I will pray for your ba k injury. I had such and injury in 2015. Sooo painful! But since I retired in 2020 I have been able to rehab it to the point where it does not hurt all day everyday-(no sciatica, but back spasms and sharp pain). Now it only gets sore when I overdo things such as yardwork. So thankful for the way God can heal.

I will remember to pray for you. Keep us posted so we can know how God is working in this situation and so that we can be reminded to continue to pray for you.

Hello Hadassah,

We've been married 44 years now and we made that decision right off the bat.

I believe that Paul spoke in Colossians 2:16 about the freedom of believers from the necessity of keeping the OT feasts and holy days. I believe we are free to do so or not dot do so. We also are free to celebrate the seasons of the year, national holidays, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, family feasts, etc. or not to do so.

But we do need to be on guard about using celebrations for idolatrous practices; as a license to sin and debauchery, drunkenness, and hedonism; as an devotion to the holiday or persons instead of to the Lord.

So, as Paul said, in whatever we do, we are to do it with a clear conscience unto the Lord, with thanksgiving to God and respect for His holiness and supremacy as the only true God.

We are headed over to family today to celebrate Thanksgiving. We have not all been together with nieces, nephews, and grands for a few years with this brother of mine. Looking forward to seeing everyone again. We always have a good time. Also, my other brother is up from Hawaii, so we will see him today and he will come down to stay with us for a few days. He usually divides his time between four households of family members that we all get along with. There are 4 other siblings of mine which is a different story as to their spiritual outlook, love for God, and lifestyles.

I hope you are well during this season with all that is going around. I pray to not get any respiratory viruses since I usually have severe problems due to asthma and reactive airways. For this reason, I don't gather with large groups much and usually hang with people who respect this weakness of my physical body, rescheduling if they have a cold, cough, or any other respiratory symptoms. It has been an adjustment for us, but since I retired from teaching, I have been much more well each cold/flu season by practicing this "social distancing". Not everyone needs to do this, tho.

How do I find the 1611 in the common peoples language, I believe that's 1616

Why don't you have the apocrypha and Maccabees, etc. that was originally in 1611
