    It's the book that the "Faithful and Wise servant" receives at the end times after Christianity becomes like Judaism had become in Jesus' 1st coming. Then the "faithful and wise servant" goes and prophesies again to the nations, and pulls the faithful out... "Come out of her, my people!"

    *Son of God, not God the Father... Colosians 1, First born of all creation. You can find Jesus mentioned as "Wisdom" in Proverbs 8, you can find Him as one of the "3 men" who comes to Abraham before the destrution of Sodom. You can read where it says "My Lord rained down fire and brimstone, from the Lord out of heaven." Jesus was also wrestling with Jacob. Jesus changed Oshea's name to Joshua before entering the promised land. And many other times Jesus, as the TRUE son of God, was on the Earth carrying out God the Father's will all through out the old testament. And of course, in Genesis One, "Let US make man in OUR image..." etc...

    I would never tell you that you are wrong if you truly are unable to attend in person. However, I would encourage you to think about the added benefits of having in-person fellowship with other believers. If you are able to go to church, it is definitely worthy of the effort. There is a special blessing in gathering together with others to sing, pray and share the Word in the same place. There is also the blessing of the interactions you will share there like conversations, smiles, hugs, encouragement and so on that you miss out on when you watch from home. And consider this, that perhaps someone there needs you to be their source of encouragement? Seek out the blessings!

    I leave you with a few verses on fellowship.

    Ecclesiastes Chapter 4

    9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

    10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

    11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?

    12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

    Hebrews 10:24, 25

    And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

    Hi, I would like to ask if you will please research: Mud Fossil University. (Dragons). New York City is she that sets on the Beast. Surrounded by water. Controls the Kings of the earth. It's the city of adulterers. You will know that the earth is a corps. Like Jesus said: "Whoever has come to know the world has discovered a carcass, and whoever has discovered a carcass, of that person the world is not worthy."
  • GiGi - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 2 years ago
    Dear Olive,

    I agree with you that God created energy. It is a force like gravity and governed by natural laws. God's nature is not governed by anything outside of Himself. He is the only Being that is eternally self-existent. He does not derive any aspect of His nature from outside of Himself. But energy is something man God and man can control and manipulate.

    Therefore, I do not believe that energy is a divine aspect, but, like matter, was created by God at the creation of the universe.

  • Pete - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 2 years ago
    i wold say that you are right on but we are living souls; and I look at that as living energy as I think that soul, among other things, means energy; bur regardless, we are living souls and we also have a mind where we can choose right from wrong to preserve our living soul. I believe that our living soul is just below the soul of an angel and that when we preserve it; we become angels; and that all babies are little angels until they start to develop their minds and then it depends on what we and they put into it until they are mature at say 30 years or so. Thank you for a wonderful comment. Take care and be save. So far I have avoided COVID
  • Richard H Priday - In Reply on Revelation 10 - 2 years ago
    The simple answer is that both concepts hold true. The word "qeber" stands for the body and it's state of sleep i.e. death; so that no more emotions or function of any kind exist after the soul leaves the body. The term "sheol" was the O.T. place where all souls would go after death; now as believers of course we can hold onto the promise "absent from the body present with the Lord."

    It would seem prudent to focus on what dying to self through our life in Christ means to us now. "It is not I who live" and "I am crucified with Christ ( Galatians 2:20) begins when we are "Born Again". We now are in a conflict between the flesh and the Spirit; if truly saved. (see Galatians again in chapter 5; verse 17). Christ has placed His seal; a down payment on our souls; and since Christ is eternal so is our life in Him ( Eph. 1:13-14). The "sanctification" process is a constant realization of what remains of our sinful flesh; as to how vile our affections are and the state of our bodies in this present world. Essentially; once we die we come to the end of that struggle.

    We can look at it this way; eternal life BEGINS when we are saved; and He works from the inside out transforming us. Satan can be expected through his accusations to work as hard as he can to accuse us; distract us back to worldly thoughts; and to trick us in every way. It is in his best interests to render us helpless; to disarm our heavenly armor ( Eph. 6); to use people and situations as well as our own flaws against us; etc. God "chastises everyone He loves." ( Heb. 12:6). A messenger of Satan was allowed to buffet Paul after his great revelations ( 2 Cor. 12:7). Satan also tempted Christ; as well as influenced Peter. We certainly can expect the same; as God will often use this to bring us to our knees. The enemy of our souls always finds the weakest link and takes advantage of it. We are; however currently "seated in heavenly places." ( Eph. 2:4-6).

    Hope this is an encouragement.

    The Lord will come whether you believe or don't believe. Halelujah. Your denial will not stop Him, the King of Kings, the Name above all Name, He who sits at the right Hand of the Most Sovereign God, the Great I am. He is Eternal.
  • FredScanlan - 2 years ago
    Why does Jesus speak in parables? Why doesn't He speak plainly concerning the things concerning salvation. Who is He speaking too?

    While serving in the military, certain were chosen to go out on recon mission's, discovering the places of the enemy, determined to find out there size, their weaknesses. Even so those who were involved knew the consequences of revealing those things that concern the welfare of our fellow brother and sisters. That moving upon the enemy would require a grace that would involve warfare , a warfare we would prefer, without firing a shot.

    These were the conditions, we found ourselves in.

    Provocation almost always would lead into a fight that would leave many hurt, and killed!

    The art of warfare is left to those who know! Those who have experienced the effects of such warfare!

    Jesus spoke in parables so we might see, and understand in a way that allows freedom according to our faith. Our faith in life, a faith allowing the Holy Spirit to guide and direct into those things that concern the spiritual warfare that is before us. Saving souls from hell and death, that is sure to come upon those who do not believe the things of salvation.

    This is in a sense the "recon sense" we need to fight the enemy. The spiritual direction in knowing what to say and when to say it! This is what grace is! The grace we need to fight against the spiritual darkness, who's mission is to destroy the truth concerning Christ and His redemption for mankind!

    Parables are Gods way of revealing the truths, while the enemy looks on in dismay! The enemy cannot stand the Holy Spirit, He has no weapon against it! He cannot fight against it, without revealing his position!

    Repent and be Baptized
  • Richard H Priday on Psalms 9 - 2 years ago
    This Psalm has many in depth descriptions of judgment including the final judgment of man.

    I would call it more of a "declaratory" Psalm rather than "impreccatory" as it is more of a cause and effect statement of man's state of reaping what they sow. There seems to be no specific enemy of David that is being referred to here.

    Verses 3 and 4 remind us of Psalm 23 where "in the presence of my enemies" a table is set before God ( Psalm 23:5). This verse is often lost; it seems in the theme of reassurance that people like to glean here (perhaps an uncomfortable verse for those who don't like to see this side of God's character).

    Verses 5 and 6 remind us of Armageddon; as well as other verses such as Isaiah 14:17 on Antichrist. Verses 7 through 12 describe the justice of God's rule such as will be during the Millennium ( Isaiah 11:4). Verse 13 and 14 could also apply in some ways to Christ's suffering to death under His enemies and His return to the eastern gates ( Psalm 24:7); or perhaps the state David felt in constantly facing the threat (but never the actuality) of his enemies killing him.

    Verses 15-17 are like many other cross references as well; with the first mention in Psalms of hell (v. 17). It is interesting to note that those nations who "forget God" are also included with the wicked unregenerate in particular. That indites places like the USA who have familiarity with the Gospel but not a "love of the truth." ( 2 Thess. 2:9-12).

    The end (verse 18-20) once again show the nations fearing God and the needy "not always forgotten." That surely would indicate a state in the Millennium as even Christ said "the poor you always have with you." ( Matt. 26:11). Even in that verse; Christ takes precedence over all things; as He is the one to overcome and Lord of all. (see again Isaiah 11:4 and many other passages in that book for further insight).

    Hello GiGi

    Peter also talks about this event in his second letter. ( 2nd Peter 3:10-12)

    10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

    11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

    12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

    13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."

    When Christ returns, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed after which God will create a new heavens and new earth suited for habitation by Christ and his glorified saints.

    This is our hope for the future.

  • Chris - In Reply on Revelation 10 - 2 years ago
    Hi Jag. I don't think we can definitively state what this little book is (as seen in Revelation 10:8-11). My thought is, that when John took this little book, whether it was a real book or if it was a part of his vision he was given, and he ate it up, the result was interesting. It was sweet to the taste (lit. as honey) but became bitter in his stomach.

    The words that John would later preach (after he returned from exile in Patmos), would be the wholesome pure words from God to the people, but its message would bring turmoil to many hearts & minds; to some the prophetic Word would be the cause of light, hope & revival to hearts, but to most others, grief & heartache to the many woes & trials in life that lay before them. However, from what we know of John (from other writings), was that he returned to lead a church in Edessa, modern Turkey, but don't know whether his ministry extended from there. But it seems that the prophetic Word would continue in his ministry, though for us, it ends with this Book of the Revelation.
  • Chris - In Reply on Numbers 13 - 2 years ago
    Hello Edna. Numbers 13:27-30 ties in with the rest of this chapter. Briefly, Moses had called in the leaders of each of the twelve tribes (plus Joshua) to go and spy out the land (Canaan) before them prior to them proceeding to conquer it.

    So they went out & brought out a dual report. One, that it truly was a "land that floweth with milk and honey" (i.e. a phrase used to denote a very fertile & abundant land), so it was a land that would be very useful for them for their cattle & agriculture. Though secondly, it was also a land that had tall and strong men there, with fortified cities which could easily overpower them. Eleven of those leaders brought in this report & advised that they should not proceed because they would be defeated. But only one amongst them, Caleb of Judah, who also saw what the other men saw, but Caleb also saw his God who had promised them this land & would supernaturally overcome these great & powerful people.

    You can read the aftermath of this incident in the next chapter, where both Caleb & Joshua rent their clothes in dismay because of the faithlessness of the people, and the LORD commended Caleb, saying, "But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it" ( Numbers 14:24). I hope this short comment will help you understand what was happening at that time.

    Dear Joleen, hello! You can talk to your pastor about being baptized in your church. If you don't go to church, please start attending a good Gospel church. Hebrews 10:25 "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."

    God bless you!
