I am willing to pray for you. Will you pray for me please? I have COVID-19.
of the church at Christ's return. There are so many that are still playing church, they
walk around with their heads held high thinking they are so much better than others.
thinking they are a part of Christ, but in reality their lives do not show the presents of the
Holy Spirit.
The book of Tobit tells the story of Tobit and his family, who are living as exiles from Israel after the Assyrian conquest. ... On his journey, the son Tobias meets Sarah, who is afflicted by a demon. Raphael intervenes and dispatches the demon, allowing Tobias and Sarah to marry.
And the google search engine goes and fetches what I want to investigate.
Then select a KJV commentator to read his take on that scripture. In the mouth of many, the Bible truth should be established: what points people agree on.
It's like how it would be if we were quizzing all 12 Apostles plus Paul. Everyone saw the same thing but wrote it identical but from their point of view with their experience with Jesus and through the Light of revelation through the Holy Spirit. He always testifies of Jesus Christ.
By reading many Commentaries you glean the best part of each one. ALWAYs ask the Holy Spirit to CONFIRM the Word of Truth.
That's how I do it. Chris does too.
If I hear something sorta wild, I go get it confirmed by scripture and read a lot on it before I open my mouth. Some things I don't respond to because I already did. It's back in the history pages somewhere.
Sometimes I think people are scared of commentaries? It's a helps book. Every year at Back-to-school sales; I go get a half dozen notebooks to scribble notes and teachings in.
I hardly watch television anymore. It's all cotton candy programming. :D
So verse 7, "And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better." And this means that this position shows without dispute that the less (Abraham) was blessed by the better (Melchisedec) & not the other way around as one could assume.
Verse 8, "And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth." So the Hebrews writer states that the 'men who die' (i.e. of the Levitical priesthood) are authorized to receive tithes, but in the priesthood of Melchisedec (i.e. not from Levi), he could receive tithes, & of him it is declared that he lives 'eternally' (as presumed). So a special case here of a non-Levitical priest receiving tithes also showed the Priesthood of Jesus, also not of Levi.
So the focus of these verses is not Melchisedec, but on Jesus Who is seen as his type, coming in the "order of Melchisedec". When Jesus came, the law pertaining to the priesthood changed; as the priests served at the Tabernacle/Temple, this Priest (Jesus) came to serve the people & give His Life for them. Even though the Levitical priesthood continued, it served no further purpose anymore before God as Jesus came as both Priest & Offering. Those other priests eventually died, but our Great High Priest lives on eternally.
Revelation
Where are we in the book of revelations?
And of course, this line of Shem is most "talked about" since God had called this line of people to be His very own, setting His Love upon them ( Deuteronomy 7:6-8) & through which He would one day bring forth His Son to be the one & only Sacrifice as payment for mankind's sins.
May God keep you and bless you today.

Now, there is a Scripture that some could use to support their errant belief: Luke 17:21, "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." The Greek word for 'within' is 'entos' which can mean 'within or among'. Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees who certainly did not recognize nor accept Jesus as Messiah, so the meaning of 'within' wouldn't apply as they were certainly not holy vessels for God to come upon or within. I believe Jesus was speaking about Himself Who was already 'within their midst/amongst them' & they couldn't see Him because of their blindness & hardness of their hearts.
So when we allow the Holy Spirit to have more of our lives by being moved by Him rather than by our carnal flesh, then in truth, God's Spirit will delight to reign in His children & we shall see God's Hand move in wonderful ways in our lives. 2 Corinthians 6:16.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. evil existed befor adam I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. i couldn't be any clearer
I believe Christians have the holy spirit inside them, but not a kingdom. Satan loves to twist and deceive people into thinking they're their own god- it's a common trick and there's even entire religions founded on such a deception. I believe we will have an opportunity to enter heaven after this life and after judgment. There's a verse that says to lay your treasures in heaven, not on earth. If someone wants to know what that means they should keep reading the Bible and pursue it.
The kingdom of God resides inside of us. When you accept Jesus as your savior your body becomes a house of God. Immediately a battle begins inside of you between evil and good where good begins to purge our evil. As you continue to walk in obedience more evil (junk from sin) gets replaced with good (the kingdom inside of you is growing) this is why Jesus said seek first the kingdom of God and that a house divided cannot stand. When Christians walk half in half...half with God half with sin they usually tend to be in struggle within themselves and with life in general. Because the battle within rages. As you walk in obedience the good purges the bad...ie, the kingdom is growing. The bigger the kingdom the smoother the walk and easier to resist sin and the world becomes less desirable. After a certain amount of time Jesus "comes" with the visitation and checks out your kingdom. If it's worthy and so far as to say the temple is complete he moves in and becomes king of your kingdom within. If not he leaves until he "comes" again to see if you've got it right. This is what the inheritance of Christ is.
Has anyone heard this before and anyone have thoughts on this?
Amen
