We can just read through its sacred pages, but must do it carefully, quietly & seeking the Spirit's help in understanding & applying what we read to our lives. Or, for those who have more time & desire, to study the Scriptures in depth so that much more can be learned which will strengthen their faith & also help others in spiritual need.
God's Word is truly God speaking to us - it's alive, it's current, it's His speech to our hearts personally. When we read or study it, what we do is to allow God to communicate with our spirit & mind & direct our lives. So many believers languish for want of knowledge ( Hosea 4:6 says that "God's people are destroyed (or, in a spiritual desert of ignorance & defeat) for lack of knowledge"). Also, as we read the Bible, wicked spiritual forces are thwarted from interfering with us as they can't bear to be under the sound of God's Word.
We have no excuse today as the Bible is freely available in many translations but so many forsake it. In some countries in the past (& present) where Christianity & the Bible were forbidden, believers, able to find small discarded portions of the Bible, hung onto them, guarded them & read them over & over again, memorizing these few pieces from the Word & found spiritual sustenance from it.
2 Timothy 2:15, 16: "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness." May the Lord help you & encourage you as you take time to read His Word.
So Paul is reminding young Timothy to watch for these evil traits developing in people & to turn away from them, i.e. not to get caught up in their godlessness or even to be accepting of some of their behaviour. So in verse 4, he speaks of those who are "lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God" & continues on in verse 5: "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof...". So some of these same people who love worldly pleasure more than God, will also make themselves appear to others as good Church-going folk. And this would be so easy to accept since we can never know the full character of a person. But these same 'spiritual frauds' who may talk of God, go to Church or even read the Bible, will ultimately reveal that there may be substance but no Life or spiritual Power behind their lives (i.e. no true repentance, no re-birth, no Holy Spirit).
This word from Paul I don't believe is given for Timothy or for us to go around casting judgement on people. But when this is evident (especially in the Church), we need to be aware of it (as the Church leader also), & either give gentle correction & guidance to the one living a double life, but if they shun correction, then Church discipline is in order (see a similar instruction by Paul in 1 Corinthians 5:9-13).
Re: the three Earth & heaven ages. I'm open to accepting this as a possibility simply because the Word is unclear on that period of time - only revealing what the state was in Gen chapter 1:1, 2 & the future renewal in Revelation 21. Whatever condition the universe & its worlds were in prior to Gen 1 can only be speculation.
Re: time period between Satan's rebellion & him being found in Eden. Genesis 3 is the first appearance of the Serpent as one of the animals in creation. Whether Satan who was cast out from Heaven ( Isa 14) then was in Eden ( Ezek 28) before man's fall or the other way around (i.e. he was first in Eden as God's cherub & then came his fall), I cannot ascertain from the Word - it's not clearly given.
So when the Word is unclear, my rule is that I'm to remain in ignorance & not proffer an answer. However, when people give their answer to these & other biblical subjects & don't provide a scriptural argument for it, then it remains a theory & a dangerous stand & belief to maintain.
Thank you EJL for your explanation & understanding of this passage. I re-looked at it 'through your eyes' & I'm still unable to apply your reference of Jer 4:23-26 to God's speaking of the Earth's former condition. Rather, I see this passage as alluding to it in its specific description.
My reasons are as follows: in prophetical writings, we have both the direct words of God to the prophet, whether words to the prophet or to the people. So in Jer 4:1-9, we see God speaking to Jeremiah. Then from verse 10: "Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD!...": we see Jeremiah responding to God. At times he's speaking as from the Lord or he is quoting the Lord (e.g. v17).
Then in verse 19, he exclaims: "My bowels, my bowels". This has to be Jeremiah's voice - I don't see God saying something like this: He never has before. Then verse 22 appears to be God's Words about these 'sottish' children. Verses 23-26 are now Jeremiah's "I behelds" as he envisions the destruction that will come to Israel & then v 27 qualifies that when the Lord says, "For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end." And this goes on in the following verses.
So, I just can't see that this account relates back to God speaking about the Earth's former condition, but to Israel's future troubles. We may have to agree to disagree on that interpretation.
YOU ARE NOT PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF
JESUS CHRIST
His virgin birth
His sinless life
His crucifixion on the Cross for the sins of all mankind.
His Glorious Resurrection to Life, in the flesh
Everything you are spreading to others is being recorded in a Book. Malachi
If it doesn't look like a sheep, sound like a sheep, or Follow The Shepherd;
It could be a goat. Matthew 26
You must be Born Again, in order to understand the Bible. It is spiritually discerned.
Rapture Movies are just Rapture Movies.
It's not the Bible. It's meant to be an evangelical tool, to point people to the Bible.
There is no scripture that tells us to stir people to to make plans to ride out the tribulation. The same people rioting in the streets, burning private property, shooting anyone who opposes them: will be doing the same after the rapture...only door to door; or be hirelings for Antichrist.
On the other hand, it's good for people to see this example of THE GREAT FALLING AWAY of the false church. It has to come first.
Compare everything being said in here with prophetic scripture FROM the Bible.
Study the Falling Away
Study what Apostacy is
What is the Gospel of Jesus?
Jesus was and is the ARK.
Get inside it, get family and friends in it.
and live eternally...as in forever.
Mishael
Do not send me emails on this. Thanks.
Don't forget about the False Prophet who will turn all religions into one worldwide religion.
When Satan gets through with Antichrist, it will happen at the Second Advent of Jesus.
All 3 will be cast into hell for 1000 years.
1 Samuel 28 &
1 Samuel 16:23
And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
1 Samuel 18:10
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand.
1 Samuel 16:14
But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
1 Samuel 16:15
And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
1 Samuel 19:9
And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.
1 Samuel 19:20
And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
1 Samuel 11:6
And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his ANGER was kindled greatly.
1 Samuel 28:7
Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.
Acts 19:15
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
>>Most of Sauls problems were of pride. The people wanted a King and God gave them what they wanted; which was for someone else to be a go-between so they didn't have to speak to God.
Rebellion is AS the sin of witchcraft. Saul sought out witches.
The day he "died" he prohibited the customary sacrifice to God for victory in Battle; and told the soldiers He would be their sacrifice! Saul and his 2 sons all died.
"I see that the KJV says that the 666 will be put in vs. The NKJV says that the 666 will be put on the right hand or on the forehead.
On or in?
Why?
Because, fake skin measures come in play to out wit satan. If it takes a fake 666 on The Body of Christ Members to have commerce and all without secret hiding places, since they can see underground even with drones, then so be it.
What about those not in Christ to live without the 666 on or in them to see Jesus Christ Second return to then get in Christ?
They survive the Anti-Christ reign to get it right in Christ by fake 666 ID theft measures?
The computer chip has been implanted in years past in Europe, China, Russia and U.S.A. military and our pets in U.S.A.
Many have already died or jailed in not taking this computer chip implanted into them. On U.S.A. radio ads it was advertisized to put this computer chip into our elderly to give them easier maintenance of their medical records. It has lithium with it when implanted. Some suspect vaccinations of coys to put this computer chip into folks, i.e. SARS2 vaccinations or flu shots."
He is waiting for us to recognise our faults/sins, that we have (all) broken the law, and come short of the glory of the Father.
then we can repent with our heart's to come to our father as little children being born again in the spirit.
Only GOD The Father to empty it by even one drop ever!
Why do this?
Why instigate the End-Times to happen any time before really supposed to begin by GOD The Father?
The Remnant will mostly not be born again now and will need to massly survive the anti-Christ reign until Jesus Christ returns. Flee! Not surrender to death to hell!
Same goes for The Body of Christ's Loved Ones not born again now!
Many will not take the 666 that are not in Christ! They need to flee and survive until Jesus Christ returns! So will The Body of Christ if no rapture until Jesus Christ returns.
They can see underground too. So, Ann Frank attic secret hiding places or under houses or 666 fake skin taking on American Style of fight to death so help us GOD?
Ask seek GOD to prepare for the End-Times of the anti-Christ reign. Be prepared spiritually and physically to overcome satan the anti-Christ! A 3 and a half years assignment for us in Christ to have The Utmost survivors of the anti-Christ reign by All! Safety comes when Jesus Christ returns on His Second Coming.
Our brother in The LORD said that they will be able to see underground too. How about Ann Frank attic or underground under homes instead then?
Lest, we have to beg or steal from those that get the 666. Figure out all remedies to be self sustained.
I got to flee to the mountains of Judea for The mass numbers of The Remnant. Water supplies and medical and food and medical and babies being born and all. Huge project by GOD to have The Remnant to flee with provisions. Most of The Remnant are not in Christ and will nerd to survive until Jesus Christ returns.
What will suffice for secret hiding places with provisions water and food for The Body of Christ or those left behind to not take the 666 for at least 7 years until Christ returns?
Safety comes when Jesus Christ returns!
All need to survive without taking the 666 on truly until Jesus Christ returns!
Outwit satan and his cohorts to have the most survive the anti-Christ reign until Jesus Christ returns!
Max 7 years!
A simple computer chip on our credit and debit cards to outwit! It sees and hears and speaks!
So, if ID thefting it with fake flesh etc., use spund proof little boxes to put it in and secure places to put it fakely on !
We are then called to be Special Forces style Officers in Christ in The Army of Jesus Christ American Style...to our death we will fight, we will combat our enemy...satan and cohorts of his to even aliens and sci fi high tech capabilities of them. Know our enemy and no false securities. 3 and a half years to the least and a simple computer chip? Who is afraid of that?
No underestimating aliens and being able to see under ground. Can they see through rock of mountains?
Why would Jesus Christ say to run or flee instead of just surrender to martyrs?
Fight Americans and Body of Christ! Officers in Christ be wise as serpents!
They will be able to see underground even?
How about under existing houses?
Or attics like Ann Frank?
We may not have a rapture until Jesus Christ returns and will need to run and flee to secret hiding places or function in society with 666 fakely put on us or beg at corner streets as homeless or quaker it!
What are solutions of combat American style to survive tbe anti-Christ reign?
On or in?
Why?
Because, fake skin measures come in play to out wit satan. If it takes a fake 666 on The Body of Christ Members to have commerce and all without secret hiding places, since they can see underground even with drones, then so be it.
What about those not in Christ to live without the 666 on or in them to see Jesus Christ Second return to then get in Christ?
They survive the Anti-Christ reign to get it right in Christ by fake 666 ID theft measures?

As one man responded, they can see underground.
Where can they not see?
