With God, all things are possible; I just hope I make the first resurrection!
The Zedok are written of in Acts 2
"At the seventh trumpet; the death of your flesh and blood body, you will become the image of Christ: and will go as a ministering spirit to prophesy to the deceived; as do all other saints.
Psalms 149:9 To execute upon them (the deceived) the judgement written (that all come to the truth and knowledge of God): this honour hath all his saints.
Hebrews 3:1
Wherefore, HOLY BRETHREN, partakers of the heavenly (divine) calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of OUR PROFESSION, Christ Jesus."
God Bless YOU, his (Christ's) BODY.
32 Remember Lot's wife, she looked back.
33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose it shall preserve it alive. ( this is when God's elect makes a stand against the anti-christ)
34 I tell you, in that (night) there shall be two persons upon one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. ( The one doing the taking "at night" is the anti-christ) key word is "night" what comes before day? the night, one shall be taken by the anti-christ, the other shall remain,,, left behind is false teaching by many,,,, be the one left behind.
35 Two women shall be grinding to the same end; the one shall be taken, and the other left." ( One will be taken in the deception by the anti-christ, the other left behind)
36 Two men shall be in the field; (field being The World) the one shall be taken, and the other left. (Harkening diligently unto the voice of our Lord God) The Rapture is a Soul Hunt!
In this chapter directions are given for the consecration of the priests for their services to YHWH in the tabernacle.
It seems that it was not enough that the priests were properly dressed for the service, but there needed to be blood sacrifice and the priests sprinkled with the blood while they were wearing their priestly garments. Makes me think of Jesus' robe dipped in blood in Revelation.
The bread was to be unleavened to signify sinlessness, as Jesus is, our Bread of Heaven.
The priests were to be consecrated-ordained-into the priesthood. This is a special ceremony to initiate the priesthood. It was to last for seven days.
Aaron laid his hands on the heard of the bull, then the bull was slaughtered and offered to YHWH, the blood of which is applied to the horns of the altar of sacrifice with the finger of the priest and pour the rest of the blood next to the altar. There must have been some kind of vessel to collect the blood at the base of the altar.
The process of offering the bull was that the fat, caul, and kidneys are to be burned on the altar of sacrifice unto the LORD. The flesh and skin of the bull was to be burned outside of the camp as this represented that the bull took the sins of the priest and people off of the humans and onto the bull. So, the flesh, like our sinful nature, could not enter the tabernacle, but must be burned away outside of the camp, (removed from our being by the sacrifice of Jesus), since it is a sin offering. Jesus was sacrificed outside of the city wall, our sin offering.
The rams were to be spotless, (Jesus was completely sinless). Aaron again placed his hands upon the ram's head, slaughter it, collect the blood, and sprinkle all of the blood around the altar. Then cut the ram into pieces, wash the legs and entrails. Then all of the pieces of this ram were put on the altar to be burned unto YHWH (called a burnt offering) and the aroma was a sweet smell to YHWH. Jesus' whole Person was offered....
Are you saying of all the generations of all the people since Biblical time, only 7000 are saved? Nothing in Acts 2 says anything about 7000. I'm thinking this number refers to the Jews.
Ready to do his will at any time, at any moment, if with only one hook! one hook is like the heart that becomes the net, drawing all unto Him, the savior of the world!
Repent and be baptized
Dear Heavenly Father, I am lifting Anthony up before you today and ask that You will restore his breathing to normal, give him restful sleep, and heal his airways. I ask this of You today, in the name of Jesus, Your Son. Amen.
I am so sorry that your mom treated you this way with so much rejection and hatred. I pray today that our wonderful Heavenly Father will uplift you in His loving care and mercy and bring healing to your mind, spirit, and heart as you work through the remembrances and the effects of this mistreatment throughout your life. I pray that the Holy Spirit will help you learn how to forgive. It doesn't mean we act like the mistreatment never happened, but we resolve ourselves to be forgiving, though the other was totally wrong in their words and actions. We resolve to pray for them and ask for God's blessing upon the other person for their salvation.
Forgiveness is a process. We start out choosing to be forgiving, even if we do not feel like we forgive the other person. Over time, we are being healed of the harm done by the Lord Jesus, and in time we can say we have forgiven this perrson and really feel like we have.
Blessings to you Steven, you have a lot that the Lord will be healing within you, but He is faithful. Be patient, allow the Holy Spirit to work through this with you and release everything about this mistreatment and this person to the Holy Spirit.
Jesus was not using ventriloquism for the times there was a voice from heaven speaking so men could hear. It was His Father speaking from heaven. For Jesus to use ventriloquism would be sinning on his part because He would be the one tricking people into believing that the voice was His Father when it was his own, thus being deceptive. But Jesus never sinned. He never deceived anyone in any way. He is the Son of God the Father, being one with Him , equally God in essence and eternally alive in existence.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Once the 144,000 are sealed with the seal of God, the 5th trump sounds, Satan's fallen angels are here.
God's very elect are the 7,000 from all races, Acts 2
Romans 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
What did God tell Satan & his angels, Touch not My Elect, that have the seal of God in their forehead
Revelation 9:4 And it was commanded them (Satan & his angels) that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
Those who have the seal of God(Sealed)during the Hour of Temptation will not be touched by this wrath, which IS the wrath of God.
All who are alive and remain go through the tribulation, question is DO YOU HAVE THE SEAL???
It should explain His promise to you, and how He will be your God and ye His people, and how to receive this promise, and it's not by the building with the temple of idols.
He goes on to say come out come out of the midst of them(unbelievers), and be ye separate.
And will be for a Father to you, and ye shall be to Him for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all pollution of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
We should all know this promise, and remind Him of it,,, He wants us to.
Have you also come to the TRUTH that you WILL BE, also, one of the priest of Zadok.
At the seventh trumpet; the death of your flesh and blood body, you will become the image of Christ: and will go as a ministering spirit to prophesy to the deceived; as do all other saints.
Psalms 149:9 To execute upon them (the deceived) the judgement written (that all come to the truth and knowledge of God): this honour hath all his saints.
Hebrews 3:1 Wherefore, HOLY BRETHREN, partakers of the heavenly (divine) calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of OUR PROFESSION, Christ Jesus.
God Bless YOU, his (Christ's) BODY.
Perhaps the best way to honor someone and yourself IS through forgiveness. Forgiveness should be natural, yet speaking for myself, it doesn't always seem that way. In some instances, self honesty tells me that what I thought I forgave at some point in the past - I didn't. If you are not honoring them, I speculate you truly haven't forgiven. This doesn't necessarily mean you have not put forth effort.
To forgive is to overlook. Look then beyond the offense and do not let your perception rest upon it, for you will reinforce in your mind what your perception holds, thus making it your personal reality, for perhaps the rest of your life. Actually, forgiveness lies simply in looking beyond the sin before it occurred. If we could practice and master it to the extent it becomes our nature before we perceive ourselves unjustly treated, we would find complete peace in it. We wouldn't find ourselves as victims. Being a victim is not the sort of life God wills for His children. I'm thinking forgiveness is something we must learn since its not natural to the flesh. My personal thought is if I do not completely master it, then I probably haven't accepted God's forgiveness; as harsh as this may sound. For myself, its taking time, yet only with the Holy Spirit's help will I succeed. We who want peace can find it only through complete forgiveness, just as in Christ God forgave us.
Forgiving and honoring does not mean you position yourself around those that historically cause negative effects on you and family. Thus I would continue to seek advice on how to manage that, and most importantly, talk to Jesus. Remember this though: The Holy Spirit's Voice is only as loud as your willingness to listen; it cannot be louder without violating your freedom of choice.
Peace and blessings
God IS
(Part 2)
I think that's the most startling thing that a believer can find out, and especially with the way people present salvation today, they say "Hey, do you want to go to heaven and have your sins forgiven? Just pray this prayer." And no one tells them that if indeed you are serious, and if indeed you really did get saved, that God's Spirit has come to dwell in you and you've been set apart for Him. You're not your own anymore!
People aren't told that. They are not told that you've been set apart, and that your biggest struggle is going to be thinking that you can go back to living and approaching life like you did before you were saved. No, you've been set apart for Christ. Love not the world, neither the things in the world. Be separate and come out from among them. Be not unequally yoked together.
And so we are to cleanse ourselves and do this in the perfecting of sanctification, maturing in the lifestyle of sanctification, drawing closer to Christ. And notice the basis for this. It says in the fear of God. That's a healthy reverence for God. And just in our own human, we naturally do not fear God. And if we do respect Him, we fear people more than we do God.
Sometimes we know that we are disobeying God, but we also know that He's a gracious God and He will forgive us, and people won't. So, we compromise our walk with Christ and then we ask God for forgiveness because we know He will forgive.
I hope this helps you!
(part 1)
Paul starts off 2 Corinthians by saying "having therefore these promises." What promises? These are promises at the end of Chapter 6. We see in Leviticus 26:12, Isaiah 52:11, and 2 Samuel 7:14, that the promise that God said I will come and I will dwell in you, and I will be your Father, and you will be my children. I will be your God and you will be my people.
Having these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit.
Now these are not technical terms (flesh and spirit). He's talking about realm. Don't pollute by getting involved in the spiritual forces of darkness. There's a spiritual influence over you, and don't get involved in those physical human fleshly things that war against the things of Christ. Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness, that is, contamination of flesh and spirit.
Secondly: perfecting holiness in the fear of God. The word holiness is the word sanctification. He says you've been sanctified. You've been set apart for Christ. And we keep trying in the human social to cross the line and be socially joined and get our social needs met.
But at the same time, Paul is saying that you cannot compromise your walk with the Lord by getting involved in situations and with people that are going to influence your relationship with Christ and affect your effectiveness in your walk with Christ.
So, he says the key here is you've been set apart. God has set you apart. His promise is that He's going to be with you and dwell with you. And He is going to be your God and you are going to be His people. Therefore, perfect, (mature) the sanctification. We are sanctified the very moment that God's Spirit comes into our spirit. In 1 Thessalonians, Paul told the Christians in Thessalonica to walk in your sanctification.
Are you asking for help with Luke 17:34-36?
Welcome to the site.
God bless you.
Not all the scripture below are totally relevant, but I think they will help:
Matthew 18:15-18
1 Corinthians 5:1-5
1 Corinthians 5:9-13
Galatians 6:1
1 Timothy 1:3-4
1 Timothy 1:20
1 Timothy 5:1-2
1 Timothy 5:19-20
1 Timothy 6:3-5
2 Timothy 4:2-4
Titus 1:10-11
Titua 3:10-11
Philemon 1:8-9
2 John 1:9-11
Rev 2:14
Rev 2:20
Revelation begins much in the characteristic emphasis that John placed in the Gospels with the Godhead and its roles in rulership. The message was from Jesus Christ that God gave to him (apparently John) through an angel (unnamed). He who bore record (verse 2) shows John mentioning himself in the 3rd person; as to the written testimony of what he had seen and heard. Verse 3 shows a blessing for anyone who hears and KEEPS the things written in it; which shows that admonitions to persevere patiently and keeps themselves from aligning or falling into error which often comes into the church will be needed for this benefit.
Verse 4 and 5 show the seven churches in Asia and how they typify the sevenfold Spirit of God at the throne. This could be a template of the churches throughout the Church Age; or as some say chronologically roughly describing the state of the church; i.e. the Philadelphia church being the one that brought revival in the 1700s and through the early 1900's and the Laodicean one being the last days one of today which certainly seems to be the state the church is in today in general.
Verse 5 shows Christ's being the first begotten (or firstfruits) of the Resurrected dead; as well as the faithful witness Himself; and His position as the prince of the kings of the earth. Verse 6 clues us in about later passages in Revelation stating that we are made "kings and priests"
(that is those faithful believers today).
Verse 7 also alludes to later verses of the Second coming; as well as a preview of the sixth seal judgment. It also shows a foreshadow of Zechariah 12:12-14 when Israel as a whole finally realizes at the last moment before Christ returns that He is the true Messiah. Finally; the general observation of all those who will bow the knee ( Isaiah 45:23; Philippians 2:10-11)
is previewed. Verse 8 about the Alpha and Omega shows the boundaries of time for all things from a Godhead ruling outside time itself.
You're not alone in thinking you will go through this time of God's wrath. I personally believe in Pre-Trib because 1 Thessalonians 5:9 says, "For God has not appointed us to wrath, (that is judgment), but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,"
Paul is saying, "Don't let people come in there and tell you that you're in the tribulation period and you're going to have to go through this terrible time. God hasn't appointed us for that. He's appointed us for salvation. When I read the chapters in Revelation that talk about the tribulation, there's no mention of the church. Where's the church? If the church is here during this time, why is the church not mentioned?
If I may ask, if this happens during our lifetime (Even so, come Lord Jesus), and you believe you will be here, according to the Bible, what would God have you doing during this time?
Did you know that there will be two future resurrections? One will be when Christ comes for His church (Rapture), where all believers who have died will be resurrected to meet the Lord in the air. (1 Thessalonians Chapter 4). Non-believers are not taken at the rapture. They do not belong to Christ.
Please know that the rapture is not the second coming of Christ. At the rapture, Christ does not come all the way to the earth. We (Believers) meet Him in the air. There will be a second resurrection after the 1,000-year reign of Christ. That will be for all the wicked dead who rejected Jesus Christ.
My understanding is that at the rapture, the dead in Christ rise first, and then we (believers) who are alive on the earth when Christ comes for His bride (The church), we will be caught up also to meet the Lord in the air. Again, this is not His second coming. During the time of tribulation (God's wrath being poured out), we, as His bride, will be participating at the marriage feast in heaven. And then Christ comes back to the earth (His second coming) and we come back with Him. That's found in Rev. Chapter 19.
SPEAKING ON SALVATION.
God is promises to Abraham wasn't by way of man's righteousness, We and Israel is heirs to the promise by faith. Read Galatians 3 and Galatians 4.
n Ezekiel 40:1-2. You see Ezekiel speaks of a vision, This vision is of the temple in the Millennium kingdom. He speaks on this vision of the coming kingdom on through the rest of the book.
Ezekiel 40:1-2.
"In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD WAS UPON ME, AND BROUGHT ME THITHER.
IN THE VISIONS of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south."
Here in Ezekiel 43:1-2. he gives mention of the east gate and the Lord. No people from the east as you mentioned.
"Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:
And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory."
Also read Romans 9,10, and 11.
God bless.
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto man once to DIE; but after this the judgement.
This death happens by THE COMING OF THE LORD, HIM in YOU, his body.
This SECOND COMING cannot be seen: it comes like a thief in the night.
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was ONCE OFFERED (first coming of Christ) to bear the sins of many; and to them who LOOK for him shall he appear a SECOND TIME (second coming CHRIST as the HOLY GHOST) without sin, UNTO SALVATION.
Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming FIRE.
Revelation 9:18 By these was the THIRD PART of man KILLED (first death, not literal), by the FIRE, and the SMOKE, and the BRIMSTONE, which ISSUED OUT OF THEIR MOUTH.
All of us, THE DECEIVED, are KILLED, destroyed, by GOD'S WORD.
All that is LEFT is TRUTH and LIFE.
John 14:6 ....I AM TRUTH .....I AM LIFE ....
Ezekiel 5:2 Thou shall BURN WITH FIRE a THIRD PART .....
Zechariah 13:9 And I will bring the THIRD PART through the FIRE ...
Zechariah 13:8 And it SHALL COME TO PASS, that in all the land, TWO PARTS shall be cut off and DIE (literal, go to the grave); but the THIRD PART shall BE LEFT (never see death) therein.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we (that died the first death, that came to the truth of Christ's resurrection) SHALL REMAIN (having become ONE WITH TRUTH: CHRIST) and be CAUGHT UP together with THEM (the Old Testament Saints, resurrected with Christ) in the clouds (symbolic of God's Temple, the cloud was always over the tabernacle of the Old Covenant), to meet the Lord on the air, so shall we ever be (in the presence) with the Lord (the IMAGE OF CHRIST).
Zechariah 12:7 And the Lord shall save the tents of Judah FIRST (the Old Testament Saints; resurrected with Christ), that the GLORY of the HOUSE OF DAVID (those born again of TRUTH) and the glory of the house of Jerusalem (same people) do not magnify themselves against the house of Judah.
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will DO NOTHING, but he revealeth his SECRET to his servants the Prophets.
John is one of the 7000 Zedok(God's Very Elect)who lived and (DIED) throughout the centuries who will be returning with Christ at the 7th trumpet,,, And they say to me, "Thou must prophesy again concerning many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings."
John will be returning with Christ, not as one of the two witnesses.
Just as the book was bitter to John's belly, it was so to Ezekiel's belly who is also one of the 7000 Zedok(God's Very Elect) returning with Christ.
John's flesh cannot DIE twice, or be killed twice, and there's no mention of John being transfigured.
John will be returning with Christ to "prophesy again concerning many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings."
