    Who are the 2 candlesticks and 2 olive trees that stand before God? Figure out who these symbolize and you will understand who the 2 witnesses are. They are sealed from both houses.

    FYI Enoch and Elijah are very much dead, it's just that the writers romanticized their mortal departures. Jesus said, 2 will be in the field and 1 shall be TAKEN (dead). ...and God took Enoch meaning Enoch died.

    G'day, I've become a new believer but I need help. I'm the only Christian in the whole community and I'm suffering persecution. Please pray for me in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

    Tim,

    That's a fair analysis of the resurrections. If you dissect each resurrection you will find that the firstfruits, saints, do not stand in front of the great white throne. The saints are thrust through in the twinkling of an eye to heaven. It's as though they are fast tracked into service.

    The participants of the second resurrection, namely all of us who are left, will stand in front of the great white throne for judgment, post millennium.

    The distinction between resurrections is subtle but clear. The saints are a separate class of elite Christian's as opposed to the general, second resurrection population.

    Thanks for your explanation, God bless the dividing of truth as we inch closer to home.

    Premature babies could not survive thousands of years ago, Uriel is clearly referring to these last days when science and technology allows babies to live and therefore 'leap and jump about'. Also he predicts that 'Fire shall break out in many places'; we are clearly at the beginning of the end times folks !
  • Sheila Davis - In Reply - 4 years ago
    My opinion is they are Enoch and Elijah. Those are the only two humans according to scripture that did not die - both were taken up. Scripture says it is appointed to man to die once. The two witnesses, they stand before God, and as the prophets of old God gave them to power to perform miracles, and prophesied. These two shall die in the streets of Jerusalem and once again God will call them up. They don't face judgment.

    I have comforted me with this word and belive it. John 14. 2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

    3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

    God bless u in Jesus name.

    Hi dear friend in Jesus. All of us struggling sometimes and some day's.

    Belive in Jesus Christ is the only thing, then be patience. Please follow the script John 11. 25Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

    26And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

    27She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

    God bless u in Jesus name.

  • David on 1 Chronicles 15 - 4 years ago
    There was great joy in bringing the Ark of God back to its rightful abode. God will be praised when we allow the Lord to abide correctly in our hearts and mind.

    Bless our thoughts and speech that it always be a sweet smelling incense to you Lord. May our actions glorify you. Thank you Jesus for your comfort and joy.

    Bless our leadership and those in authority to call on you, to turn their hardened hearts to you for wisdom. We need your leading in our land.

    Hi Vincent.

    I believe your answer is in the text.

    John 8:44. Ye are of your father ( THE DEVIL, ) and the lusts of your father ye will do.( HE ) was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

    God bless.
  • S Spencer - In Reply on Hebrews 5 - 4 years ago
    Hi Karen.

    I would like to add to what Brother Jesse shared,

    Hebrews 4:11. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

    "This is A CALL BEFORE HAND, not a call afterwards.". IT SAYS ENTER INTO HIS REST "LEST" YOU FALL. and that rest is to rest from your works, The only way you can fall is unbelief, and if you have unbelief you never entered in. The unbelief is NOT taking stock in HIS REST AND OUR REST HE HAS GIVEN US MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS VERSES.

    If we refuses the finish work on the cross and insist in a works based salvation plan you have not joined him in his rest, and may fall after the same example of unbelief, ( Disbelieving in the rest we have when joined to Christ. )

    Hebrews 4:10. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

    God bless.
  • David - In Reply on 1 Chronicles 14:2 - 4 years ago
    Thank you for your encouragement. May the Lord bless our nation in our time of need. Just wanted to add that we as saints are commanded to pray for those in authority, 1 Timothy 2: 1-5. May the Lord shine His face on you and your family. May we be a blessing unto others as the Lord has blessed us. Have a good evening.

    The saints are there to witness and report on anti-christ's crimes. Two symbolic witnesses are required at trial to render their testimony. They are NOT Elijah and Moses.
  • Tim - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Glen,

    I'm glad to see your understanding is consistent with scripture. If you notice there is an information gap between the first and second resurrections. For instance, ( Revelation 11:12) describes the one hundred forty four thousand being called up to heaven. You would think that this is the only resurrection because the saints appear alone on Mount Olives with Jesus at the seventh trumpet. The thousand year reign on earth cannot house the many billions that make up the the dead in Christ. The second resurrection comprises the "whole house of Israel" as depicted in ( Ezekiel 37:1-14). This doesn't count the 108 billion soles that have ever lived. This is why the new heavens and earth come about, to accommodate everyone.

    1 Thessalonians 4:17 marks the first resurrection, but its presentation is incomplete and confusing. Are there elements of both resurrections here? There's no doubt that at the final trumpet everyone is changed. Paul is saying that all believers rise, but is he talking about the saints/ 24 elders being resurrected; when he says "we", is he talking about his set? If this is the dead in Christ resurrection, where do all the risen go to manifest themselves in the afterlife. There is never any mention of the dead in heaven, other than the saints. Are these believers being held in a unique place, other than joining the saints and elders? Are details being withheld till a later time when we're able to process it. Anything written past the seventh trumpet has been made confusing, details are withheld. It's as if the two resurrections have something in common with the sealed up seven thunders.

    It is clear that there are gaps in the resurrection time-line, and the story is presented in a manner that merges the two resurrections together. Ideally, the first resurrection is for the saints/elders, and the second is for everyone else. However, I couldn't wholeheartedly sign off on a theory for the mentioned reasons.
  • WHEN IS IT OKAY TO JUDGE? - 4 years ago
    Righteous Judgment

    ** John 7:24 **

    Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

    2 Thessalonians 1:5

    Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

    Romans 2:5

    But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

    1 John 3:7

    Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

    Ezekiel 3:21

    Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

    Matthew 10:41

    He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

    Matthew 23:28

    Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

    John 5:22

    For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

    Once I got busted by Jesus for judging. We were street ministering; and all the Catholics would drive by the Catholic Church, tip their beers and holler out the priests names. honk the horn at us :/

    The Holy Spirit leaned on me and said quietly but no nonsense..DO NOT JUDGE !

    All you can do is fall down and say YESSIR!!!
  • Jasper Sardius - 4 years ago
    the fundamental baptists and some other denominations only use KJV claiming this is the only english translation nearest to the original language of the scriptures..

    can anyone knowledgeable enough to explain this
  • Adam - In Reply on 1 Timothy 5:12 - 4 years ago
    There's no contradiction. Only human reason contradicts itself. You weren't specific in why you assume 2 people can't populate the earth? Is it because you're looking for an explanation for other races, cultures, and geographical distribution? In the event that is your hang up, that is explained by the Tower of Babel, where God specifically mixed people's language and scattered them throughout the Earth. It's my belief that he changed their races also, and that it just didn't happen to say that. For example, Chinese in China, Indians in India, Hawaiians in Hawaii, etc. Link

    God bless...

  • Mishael - In Reply on 1 Timothy 5:12 - 4 years ago
    The Bible says that Adam and Eve had many more children After Seth was born. It's easily missed. I learned to make myself read Genesis real slow. I guess 3rd cousins could've married first cousins etc.

    Sometimes reading the genealogy charts is helpful. Actual charts/maps can be viewed on google. Pick one that's Christian.

    hi rebeca! we are all under condenation, slaves to sin that leads to death(separation from God). but by the grace of God we can be free trough our faith in our savior Jesus Christ. is an undeserved gift from GOD to the whole world.

  • Mishael - In Reply on Hebrews 5 - 4 years ago
    They have to make Jesus their Lord and Savior. He sheds his blood over our sins. They must have their names RECORDED IN THE BOOK OF LIFE. Priority number one.

    Revelation 20:12 - And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

    Revelation 3:5 - He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

    Revelation 21:27 - And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

    Revelation 20:15 - And whosoever was not found written in the BOOK OF LIFE was cast into the lake of fire.

    Revelation 3:1-6 - And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. (Read More...)

    Revelation 20:11-15 - And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

    Luke 10:20 - Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. (The Book of Life)

    Exodus 32:33 - And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

    Psalms 69:28 - Let them be blotted out of the book of the living (Life) and not be written with the righteous.

    Malachi 3:16 - Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
  • Jesse - In Reply on Hebrews 5 - 4 years ago
    Karen,

    If the person is a non-believer and has already made up their mind and rejected the gospel message shared with them, you are under no obligation to explain anything to them. What we have is very precious. We have Christ. If a person does not want to hear the good news, then so be it. We are not to cast our pearls before the swine. Here's something that every believer should realize. We have got something very, very, precious. We don't have to prove anything to anybody. We are not under any pressure to meet any quota.

    Now, if the person is a believer, born of God's Spirit, and they believe they can lose their salvation, something you might ask them is who are they trusting in for their salvation. Are they trusting in Christ who has saved them, sealed them with His Spirit until the day of redemption, and who has promised He will never leave them? Or, are they trusting in themselves to keep themselves saved? It's better to trust in the one who has saved us, the one who is keeping us saved by His own power, and the one who said He will never leave us nor forsake us!
  • God sees Jesus when He looks at us - In Reply - 4 years ago
    If you are born again ( John 3);

    You are washed in the Blood of Jesus, your name is recorded in the Book of Life, and declared righteous before God.

    In less than 1 eyeblink, you'll be caught up to Jesus in the clouds. You'll be in your resurrection body already. Don't worry about bathing.

    Let's concentrate on doing things Jesus desires us to do:

    Ask forgiveness when we do things we ought not.

    Accidently drop a Bible tract on the elevator floor every day

    Read our Bible and say prayers, every day..one hour is a lot. Sometimes Fast from TV for a whole day.

    Buy a food coupon booklet, and give a coupon to a homeless person and say Jesus is coming back real soon. I always remember people who give me food (because they don't like fresh fruit :D

    NO ONE has ever shouted at me for saying Jesus is coming back soon, maybe This Year!

    I tip the teen servers at all fast food restaurants and say the same thing. Everybody adores to get a tip. I tell them about the cool Revelation Station Movies on YouTube, they'll really dig.

    I wanna get to heaven with a lot of joy in my heart for giving joy to complete strangers.

    People are open to it these days.
  • The Remnant of Yah on Ecclesiasticus 12:6 - 4 years ago
    Answering some questions (just a passerby looking for something) and thought I'd offer some unsolicited thoughts.

    Q: "I never understand Why people want to know what Not Canonized scripture means?

    WHY is not the King James Bible good enough for you?"

    A:The Apocrypha was in the King James Bible up until the 19th century and in speaking of Ecclesiasticus, it was regarded as practical wisdom in the least and holy writ at most depending on which church "father" you regard. James, as in the brother of our Messiah, for instance, appears to reference the book several times in his epistle.

    Next question...

    Who is Esau? Two passages and one non-Biblical source to get your journey started...

    1) Ezekiel 35

    2) Obadiah

    3) The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Volume 5, page 41...

    And you will have your answer...there is a reason why Yahushua (Jesus) said these things:

    Matthew 12:34

    34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

    And John the Baptist said it as well - arriving to TWO WITNESSES.

    And this:

    John 7:19

    19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

    -------------------

    And ultimately, Jesus uses the same exact language to accuse the Pharisees as He does to mystery Babylon (which is the rulers of our generation - exciting times!):

    Matthew 23:35

    35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

    Revelation 16:6

    6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

    Revelation 18:24

    24 And in her was found the BLOOD OF PROPHETS, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth...

    And oh so much more if one had a mind to just look!

    You're welcome!
