    When I was much, much, younger; just hearing the words of Psalm 23 would make me feel uneasiness inside of me.

    This was most likely because I heard those words spoken at a funeral and associated this Psalm with death, especially when I heard the words: "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death."

    Later in my life, I began reading through the Bible and sought to learn more and more about what my God was telling me to do, seeking righteousness for salvation to be with him forever in Heaven.

    But my understanding of his words which were written in the Bible was very difficult back then and even now there are mysteries written that are still to high for me to comprehend.

    Today I understand so much more about Psalm 23 because I cried out to my God, Jah for Wisdom and Understanding to teach me. (Call Wisdom your sister and Understanding your kinswoman.)

    Psalm 23 is not about death, it is all about life and the loving kindness of my God. How He cares, protects, provides, blesses, prospers and allows his children, who are basically as sheep to be in his family (His House) forever.

    HalleluJah (Praise Jah), for his mercy endureth forever.

    Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. 5For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. 6But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
  • Fredscanlan - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

    14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

    21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

    Ok. No Jesus not jahshua. Or Jah or whatever hebrew or Greek equivalent to Jesus and, God you choose to refer to. In the English language God is God. Jesus is the messiah, and so on and so forth. God knows who you are talking to just be respectful when referring to Him. Don't get caught up on obscure verses trying to make a doctrine of the name of God.

    Secondly Jesus never made any new commandment . When Jesus said "if you love me keep my commandments" he was quoting Exodus 20:6



    "And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments

    This is referring to the ten commandments. All of them

    Secondly the first four commandments are how you love God.

    Just like the last six deal with how you love your NIEGHBOR.

    He did not refer to every commandment he just referred to the ten commandments.

    He was never saying just love your NIEGHBOR and not God.

    Jesus is the one who wrote the ten commandments. It is a transcript of his character. Which is love. If you do not keep all ten of the commandments you do not love because they are a description of how you love.

    1 John 5:3



    "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous."

    The sabbath is Saturday. It was made holy by Jesus when he created everything. And it is still holy. No where in the entire Bible did he change or do away with the sabbath. Period!!!

    Exodus 20:11



    "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."

    It's also found in genesis at the beginning before there was a jew.

    It would be absurd to assume you may break the first four commandments but have to keep the last six. It's a package deal.

    James 2:10



    "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."

    So it is the keeping of the entire ten commandments that is love for God and your nieghbor.

    No Timothy, the Gospel of John chapter 21 ends with verse 25. Was it something you read that indicated there were more verses to this chapter? Some have questioned the author of verses 24 and 25, but no other area of concern is known to me.

    Dear Child of God,

    "Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest" Matt 11:28-29 Our Lord Jesus Christ uttered these words to all, those who are miserable, sorrowful and damaged by their sinful way of life, those want help with living with our affliction, lustful gratifications, sinful prideful desires, those who have no hope for what is to come, those with a concern for the truth, those who are humble in heart, those who want to believe and want to receive the good news, Jesus Christ will give you rest.

    All your toil and labour as you will to yield to the Lord will not be in vain, for your reward is everlasting, eternal and never ending. As the Lord prepares a home for you, prepare your self for his return, let him upon his return find you, doing his will, the duty and responsibility entrusted to you, dont be such a servant that neglects his responsibility when the master is not there. But be ever doing that which is faithful and true to who He is. Strive like no man can, for you have not contended or fought to the point of death, have you?

    Charity; Agape, Love; Christ fulfils all things, he is love, Gods love, which gives freely and willingly, since it never fails, look into that, stir up your self to start giving, knowing that your Father in heaven, will never let those who are his, lack of anything they need. Know that all that you have, is what God has given, based on his complete understanding and wisdom, of who you are and mankind as a whole, what he does is always good, always true, always faithful and right.

    Believe and trust in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and all is well.

    Remember we look not upon the things of this world but on heavenly spiritual things, do not let the senses, which cause you, to rely upon yourself , but instead lean, call and rely upon the word, which never fails, and is always true.

    Listen to God and not self, because we have nothing to offer, Jesus Christ is the only way.

    God Bless

    Jesse thanks for the reply. I think that approach of "I'm right and your wrong" belongs to people who are not allowing the Holy Spirit to lead them. We have to be completely opened minded to the truth to be lead to the truth. The Word of God is the truth, and Heb.4:12 tells us it is Alive! Jesse do you believe Jesus will come for His church before the tribulation starts? Every person that I know who believes in the pre-tribulation rapture say that Mt.Ch.24 is to the Jews. I don't know if you believe that Jesse, but I think maybe most people who do believe that, believe that first because they are taught that, then they let that be a big part of why they see Mt.24 as being to the Jews. The reason for that may be because of v.29-31, where Jesus says 'Immediately after the tribulation" the Son of man comes in the clouds to gather together his elect. So they say that cant be Jesus coming for the church because its after the tribulation. I believe the elect are the children of Israel. In Isa.45:4 For Jacob my servants sake, and ((Israel mine elect)), I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me. The word Israel is #3478 in Hebrew, it means he will rule (as) God, a symbolic name of Jacob, also (typically) of his posterity) The word posterity means All future generations. So the 12 tribes, the children of Israel are Gods elect. The same children of Israel that are sealed in Rev.7:4-8, there are 12,000 sealed from each tribe. I agree with you about not wanting to argue Jesse, but we all need to find the truth in scripture and let scripture be our final authority. If you show me where I'm wrong using scripture, that's all I need to see. The Word of God is the truth, and the truth is what matters. Thank you again for your reply Jesse. I look forward to your response.
  • Chris - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Thanks brother Jesse for your thorough explanation. I too, saw the 'Spirit' as Pneumatos, and the second mention of the Spirit, as Pneuma, which rather intrigued me. If the Greek is then consistent in the word's meaning, then the difference in wording must have been applied at the translation level. Given that this work was done in the 17th Century, there may have been certain applications of those words that meant something special to the translators or the Church, or for some special emphasis. I guess we might never know. Thanks for the trouble in reviewing this verse for us.

    Amen U4YAH:

    You are correct; most if not all of the Psalms are prophecies of Christ; AND, all the words of Psalms are the words of the spirit of Christ; AND, Christ has the spirit of his Father ( 2 Samuel 23:1-2)( Isaiah 59:21).

    Psalms 23:6 Surly goodness and mercy shall follow me (Christ) all the days of my life: and I (Christ) will dwell in the HOUSE of the LORD forever.

    Hebrews 3:6 But Christ as a son over his own HOUSE; whose HOUSE ARE WE ....

    Colossians 1:27 .... this mystery .....Christ in you .....

    Keep sharing as the spirit reveals HIS TRUTH to you.

    God Bless You!

    Wonderfully well said and accurately said.

    After reading your comment my spirit is driven to ponder some other verses by Jahshua.... "all of The law is Love and forgiveness."

    This all makes me realize that the commandments are basically redundant.

    Example: If we love someone, even our enemies; then we would not kill them, we would not kill them, we would not steal from them, we would not commit adultery against them and Jah (Jah considers serving other gods as adultery against him), we wouldn't cheat, defraud, lie, or hurt anyone in any way if we loved them.

    Love, mercy and forgiveness. Now after considering these things... I understand the truth of what Jahshua said when he gave two new commandments: to love Jah with all of our being and to love our neighbor as ourselves.... UPON THIS HINGES ALL OF THE LAW.

    Obedience to love will save us. Jah is Love. If someone does what is opposite (anti) of what is the will of God (God's will is his Word/Jahshua/Messiah/Christ or AbtiChrist. And that would be sin/transgression.

    SometThinking to ponder... Thinking back your post of the Messiah's instructions to the man inquiring about Salvation; Jahshua listed only six of the Ten Commandments. He left out the Sabbath worship, idol making and coveting our neighbor's things.

    Why did he leave them out? Especially the keeping of the Sabbath!
  • Watchman on the wall - In Reply - 2 years ago
    No sin unto death is breaking God ten commandments when you know our should know that it is sin because that is tge only definition of sin.

    1 John 3:4



    "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."

    Now if you don't know something your doing is wrong then it is sin not leading to death.

    It is still sin but not done in an intentional manner.

    James 4:17



    "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."

    Stop answering questions if you do not know for sure what you are talking about. You are helping to further ignorance
  • Watchman on the wall - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Sin is not anything that is not good.

    The exact definition is:

    1 John 3:4



    "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."

    That's the ten commandments.

    The law

    You need to get pass your pre conceived notions and stick to the Bible
  • Watchman on the wall - In Reply - 2 years ago
    No belief in christ does not and will never circumvent judgment if you willfully commit sin and assume that belief in christ will bypass judgment. Everyone on this earth will be judged according to their works, not according to their faith.

    When you do not keep the ten commandments, and break them , it is sin.

    When you sin willfully there nooo longer remains a sacrifice for sin but a certain fearful expectation of judgment.

    This is the truth.

    Now if you confess and repent from sin in sencerity and turn from wickedness, or unrighteousness ( sin, transgression of the ten commandments) then you may be granted mercy. However do not ever assume that willful disobedience to the ten commandments can be just automatically come back from. Never assume anything
  • U4YAH - In Reply - 2 years ago
    True the deceiver can devour more by altering the Word of Jah to promote another way and make void God's word with deception.

    Jahshua has already considered this and brought John to Heaven to tell him how the World will be deceived.

    John instructed us to try the spirits of words to see if they are from Jah. To go back to what is written from the beginning: To find out if those words are in accordance with what was written by the prophets of old and ancient.

    He tells us that we have an unction from the Holy One above and he doesn't need to teach us because of this. Pray for Wisdom and Understanding in the name of Jahshua and and

    It shall be done.

    Yes a transaction of a transaction of scripture can lose the original meaning and usher in deception, leading someone into error of this way of Jah, into another way.

    David must have realized that because he asks Jah continually to teach him Jah's way. He then tells us the results of doing that... I have more understanding than the ancients... I more than all my teachers ( Psalm 119:99,100)

    Seek and ye shall find.

    Proverbs... Put not your trust in men. Put thy trust in Jah.

    The Messiah made Salvation simple to understand... Love Jah and everyone you come across. Upon this HINGES ALL OF THE LAW.

    The Law of Jah is Love and Jah is Love.

    The word of Jah was corrupted even in the days of Jahshua. Jahshua rebuked what was thought to be the word of Jah in the doctrine of "An Eye for an eye ". During this rebuke Jahshua denounces the repaying of violence with violence with the Love and forgiveness we should grasp ahold of for righteousness. Jah sent the great flood of Noah's days because of the violence of the earth and the mixing of the blood of mankind with the angels.(sons of God)

    Of course all that I write is my opinion influenced by what I believe is the truth, but I will stand fast on trusting in Jah teaching me by our unction from the Holy One.

    No the Bible does not teach anywhere that belief in christ is all that is required for salvation.

    It repeatedly from beginning to end continues to teach faith together with obedience to God's ten commandments are a prerequisite to salvation. Everyone in the Bible is judged according to their works. Not according to their faith. Romans 3:31



    "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." 1 John 2:4



    "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."

    King James

    Luke 18:18



    "And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" Luke 18:19



    "And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God."

    Luke 18:20



    "Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother."

    King James



    Matthew

    5





    Matthew 5:17



    "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."

    King James

    15





    John 15:10



    "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love." John 14:15



    "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

    King James

    Luke

    13





    Luke 13:24



    "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able."

    King James

    Romans 2:6



    "Who will render to every man according to his deeds:"

    King JamesRevelation 22:12



    "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be."

    King James

    There is a ton of more verses that could be attached that continue to back up truth.

    The main thing is you must read the Bible for yourself because ultimately you are responsible for your own salvation. Trusting what I say or what this person says is not the way to work out your own salvation.

    Hello Chris,

    My brother, I do find it interesting that John 7:39 uses both spirit and ghost in the same verse. Whether these were John's exact words, or for some unknown reason the translators decided to put it in there that way, I do not know.

    I can tell you that in the Greek text, the first word Spirit in John 7:39 is PNEUMATOS, and the second word Ghost is PNEUMA. Both Greek words translate to Spirit in English, so Holy Spirit would have been correct.

    There is a different word used for Ghost in the Greek. That word is PHANTASMA and is where we get our English word phantom from.

    There are 90 places in the King James NT where Holy Ghost is mentioned. However, if you look these verses up in the Greek text (Textus Receptus), every place that the KJV uses Holy Ghost, the Textus Receptus says Holy Spirit (HAGION PNEUMA). Why the translators decide to use Holy Ghost instead is something I am not sure of.

    I also find it interesting that there are places in the KJV where the word spirit is used, but the Greek text uses the word ghost.

    Matthew 14:26 is one place. When the disciples saw Jesus walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a (spirit); and they cried out for fear.



    The word spirit in this verse is PHANTASMA for ghost. They thought He was a ghost. It is not the word for spirit (PNEUMA). It is the word for ghost.

    So every place in the KJV New Testament where it says Holy Ghost, it can be correctly translated Holy Spirit.

    I emphasize the KJV because if I'm not mistaken, most other English versions say Holy Spirit, not Holy Ghost, which would be considered correct according to the Greek.

    I think that whether we choose to say Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost, we are speaking of the same Spirit of God, the third person of the triune God.

    Mr.Lim

    We have lost a Sunday school teacher in our church to tragic accident. Remember that there is no death unto those who believe that Jesus is and has conquer death! These are hard things to believe while we live in this world, we must grow through them, we will become stronger in our faith. Do not allow appearance of loss , to darken what will become ours. Eternal life with Jesus!

    They are with the Jesus! Rejoice we shall all live eternally with Him where there is no more sin or death!

    Luke 11:13

    "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?"

    So, what does it mean to be given the Holy Ghost? Is this something outside the scriptures that we cannot see.?

    If God gives it to us how do we receive it, only by asking? Is it possible for us to have the mind of Christ given unto us, if so ,it must come from God! We cannot earn it. We can memorize all scripture, but may not have the slightest unction of what the Holy Ghost is! This is how important prayer is, only by asking will we receive! When this happens all the words of scripture will begin to come in ways we never knew! Prayer is so absolute in what it does!

    Pt 2, Jesse

    29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith HE WAS SANCTIFIED, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge HIS people"

    Is the above scripture for believers or not believers? Verse 29, "HE WAS SANCTIFIED". so it is for believers. The text says that if one who was once saved sins willfully (the greek text here implies a continuous action, not just do a sin/s, but live in sins, live a sinful life) then damnation is the result. People who were once saved when they go back to their previous sinful life and enjoy sinning without feeling any guilt, is like they step on Jesus, like they consider His sacrifice as nothing really, like they stand with pride against the H.S. and His work of sanctification. For these people there is no other sacrifice left to call on. It doesn't say that there is no salvation for them but it says no other sacrifice (since they don't value and ask for Jesus' Blood there isn't any other sacrifice left for them to ask for) So if they never awake from their spiritual sleep and go back (like the prodigal son did) then the Hell is the end of the road for them.

    In the following verse 32-34, Paul encourages believers to keep going their way no matter the tribulations they suffer due to their faith to Jesus, because they must complete their road, if not, salvation will not be granted to them. And now we come to verse 39, "But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul"

    So the proper interpretation of it, according to my belief is, "But we are not of those who go back to their previous sinful lives and get destruction at the end, but of those who keep on their faith and at the end get the promise of salvation"

  • U4YAH - In Reply on Matthew 4 - 2 years ago
    Have you noticed that the majority if not all of the ancient names of the Israelites are phrases of praise unto Jah.

    His name was Jo at first... Jshua, Jel (Jo-el.. Jo-(is)-god(elohim)), Jnathan, Jb, Jnah, etc...

    J morphed into Jah and Jah (Jahshua) morphed into Jeh (Jehshua) as each generation changes the language. This was due to the captivity of Israel by Babylon and other Heathen peoples. The generation of today does also. Words don't mean the same thing as they used to mean. You really look hot does not mean: that you look like your temperature has greatly risen to bring forth sweating.

    The Israelites had to learn other languages of their captors. This in time changes their own language to incorporate the new language into their own.

    As the good news of the Messiah (the gospel) spread quickly to other nations written in a language foreign to Israel, the name of the Messiah was changed to be more acceptable to them. The surviving testimonies of the good news named Jehshua as Isous, which later morphed into Jesus. Neither of the foreign names praised J, Jah, Jeh.

    The name of Jehshua, Jahshua, Jshua was a praise to the God of Israel, but the new foreign names did not praise the most high God, J/Jah/Jeh.

    John was informed by the revelation (the revealing by Jahshua to him) of the works of the deceiver he warned the disciples would come... already his name had been made void...I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and HAST NOT DENIED MY NAME.

    Perfect Understanding will reveal to you that the King of Israel would NOT HAVE a foreign, Heathen name. It would be an Israelite name praisng the God of Israel.

    Who will think that it doesn't matter at all to God/Jah and the Messiah what the people call him. Commandment was made to keep the people from calling him something else to make his name Useless (in vain)

    In who's name was her healing asked?

  • Jesse - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Jimbob,

    (Part 2): If I may comment on a couple things you said, first about Matthew 24:29-31. You say that "Many people think that's the same event as Jesus' return riding a white horse, they say the elect are the Jews," and "It is not the same event, and these elect that are gathered together are not the Jews. They are the bride of Christ, the church."

    If you are saying that the rapture of the church and Christ's second coming are two separate events, then I agree with you on that. As far as the word "elect," this is a special word brought over from the Old Testament as a title for the Jewish people. They are His elect people. I agree that the church is the bride of Christ, but we are not the elect. The elect are the Jews. That's what they were called in the Old Testament and that's what they always will be, God's elect. I find no scripture reference in the New Testament that shows where the meaning of the word elect has been changed to mean someone other than the Jews?

    You also said that "The Jews don't believe Jesus is the Son of God." That is not completely true. Many did not believe, but there are many who did. Almost all of the 12 original apostles were Jews. I'm sure they believed who Jesus was. Matthew also was a Jew. Peter himself, being a Jew, he confessed that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God.

    Please know that I am in no way wanting to argue with you. I am simply sharing with you what I understand from my study of scripture. I know you are doing the same and I appreciate anything and everything you wish you share. We may or may not always agree, but there's always something we can learn from each other. I have been posting here for about five years now, and many here have an idea of what I believe and don't believe. I think you are fairly new here, so we have not learned much from each other as far as what our beliefs are. I hope to learn more about your beliefs. Thank you for sharing!
  • U4YAH - In Reply on Psalms 40 - 2 years ago
    I have discovered that many of the Psalms are prophesies about the messiah if not all of them.

    Notice 40:7 then said I Lo I come in volume of the book "Written of me"... now remember when Jahshua was teaching in the synagogue and closed the Torah after reading these words. The people were astonished because he did not finish the entire Psalm's scripture content. Then he said... this day has this scripture been fulfilled. The people rose up to stone him because they understood that this scripture was about the Messiah prophesied to come, that Jahshua was saying that he fulfilled on that day before the congregation. (I have preached righteousness in the great congregation...)

    The iniquities he has, the Messiah is admitting the imperfect feelings he has because he is a man. (iniquity and not sin) They have taken hold of him as these feelings would do with any man automatically, in an instant, (MY heart faileth me) but that doesn't mean that they remain with him and he asks Jah for help with this and help to hurry up and end his suffering (40:17... make no tarrying, O' MY GOD) JAH is his God.

    Jahshua knows what is written by the prophet Isaiah if him. He knows it will please Jah to deliver him from this cruelty of crucifixion by men.

    If you think of the Messiah speaking in this Psalm it will all make sense to you.

    Note: always ask Jah in the name of Jahshua, the Messiah to send you the two female spirits, Wisdom and Understanding. (Call Wisdom your 'sister' and Understanding your 'kinswoman'. This could be the unction from the Holy One that John writes about in his epistle 1 Jhn 2:27

    We need to do this to find the knowledge that is true and no lie. (Lack of knowledge is killing my people)

    I pray Jah has sent me the truth and helped you and I to understand.
  • Jesse - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Hello Jimbob,

    Yes, I agree that none of us have all the answers. We can take one piece of scripture, present it to several different believers, and I think it would be safe to say that not all are going to come up with the same conclusion as to what that piece of scripture is saying. But what do we do? If I disagree with you and you disagree with me, what do we do? My personal thoughts are that if I disagree on something, I have a choice. I can either choose to take what someone is telling me, and then search the scripture to see why I have a disagreement, or I can just take the approach of "I'm right and you're wrong," and move on. That approach is not the right one to take, but yet it happens.

    Now, I would like to address a few things in your latest post. I see you have at least one question for me, and I will give you an answer, but first let me say this: When I say that Matthew wrote his gospel to the Jews (Hebrew people), I am not saying that we cannot read and learn from the things contained in his gospel. I believe all scripture is profitable for us to read and learn from.

    I know you don't believe Matthew was written to the Jews, but I do believe he wrote his letter to the Jewish/Hebrew people in order to present Jesus as the coming Savior/Messiah. I say Savior/Messiah because the Jews were not just expecting the Messiah, but they were expecting the Messiah to come as a Savior. When I go through Matthew Chapter 24, and I look at Jesus' words, it seems very clear to me that He is speaking to Jews.



    Now, to answer your question. Your question to me is "Do you believe great tribulation will be just for the Jews?" No, I do not believe that. The last 3-1/2 years of the 7-year tribulation period, known as the "Great Tribulation," will be a time when God pours out His wrath on all people who have rejected Christ, both Jew and Gentile alike.

    I need more space so I will send a part 2.

    GiGi You said you think its a good thing to have all these translations, as translators learn more and more about the languages biblical manuscripts were written in because it causes the translators to become more accurate. You said God is at work in such work as bringing forth a translation and in bringing about revisions. This is so wrong GiGi! God is not the author of confusion. GiGi look these verses up in your Niv Bible and then tell me God was in control of those translations of that Niv. Mt.17:21, 18:11, 23:14. Mk.7:16, 9:44,46, 11:26, and this next one is so wrong in many ways. Mk.15:28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. (A verse proving a scripture was fulfilled and the Niv removed it! WOW)! Continuing verses> Lu.17:36, 23:17. Jn.5:4. Acts.8:37, 15:34, 24:7, 28:29. Rom.16:24. Heres another good one. The word Lucifer is in the Bible 1 time in Isa.14:12 (KJB) How art thou fallen from heaven O Lucifer, son of the morning! Now the (Niv) How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star son of the dawn! The pure Word of God is settled in heaven. Ps.119:89 For ever O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. Ps.119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. (Thy word is in Palms,CH.119 (39 TIMES!) Isa.40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. Mt.24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. I have a really hard time believing that True Believers in Jesus Christ doubt He would, or could preserve His WORDS like He told in Ps.12:5-6. Jn.14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, ((HE WILL KEEP MY WORDS:)) and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. Many scriptures speak of false doctrine, or not enduring sound doctrine in the Lastdays. (Where is that false doctrine at today GiGi?) I pray God opens your eyes to this truth!

    Very good. You have found out that this is the judgment of those who followed a different WAY that is not the way of the most high of all gods.

    Yes. The context reveals the intent and the identity of whom this judgment is about.

    Before reading this any further, I request that anyone reading this would ask in the name of Jahshua for his God, Jah, To send these two female spirits that were with him from the beginning fo righteous discernment; to try the spirits for a revelation of truth, by praying for knowledge.

    [ "Lack of knowledge is killing my people." (Hosea) Call Wisdom your sister and Understanding your kinswoman [ " I was his daily delight in the beginning" ])

    Context with meditation is the key In this Psalm for knowledge.

    God/Jah is there with the Angels and he is judging them.

    In Hebrew the Angels are defined as: "mighty ones": in scripture Jah is the mighty of David. & etc...

    These gods/angels/mighty have become Apostate/Rouge against Jah.

    Unlike the faithful Angels/mighty ones, they became worshiped by the people called Heathens/Pagans/Gentiles.

    We are also clued in that these are Angels by a verse later on that these eternal beings shall die the same as man, who lost his eternal life by the eating of the forbidden fruit in his garden of Paradise on Earth, to the"East of" Eden.

    They are worshiped by men and have another WAY/Religion which pleases their god/Angel. Their doctrines are in error of the WAY of Jah.

    In his judgment of them, Jah presents evidence of his WAY, THAT IS NOT part of their judgment & doctrines of their way;

    To defend the poor and fatherless.

    Do justice to the afflicted and needy.

    (To) rid out of the hand of the wicked.

    They walk in darkness because their way is in error causing the entire society(world) of the Earth's foundation of the way of Jah to go a different direction than Jah intended for mankind, that will cause Jah to judge the Earth.

    Jah is speaking to the Angels, their father Jah created them, they are his children
