James,

Every soul returns to God in heaven, Ezekiel 18:4

That is the last stop.

Even King Manasseh, even Judas, even the scribes and Pharisees, because God always taught love and forgiveness.

Dear beloved "DOUG" We all have our days going up and down, our God can solve you in all things, you know? Seek Him He who has no changing shadow. He also became inconsolable here on earth, bleeding drops of blood. Look at Him who suffered for us all. He knows about everything He is also close to you dear friend. Pray/talk to Him that He will deliver you from what bothers you. Jesus Christ became for me a light in an endless tunnel. Give thanks to everything.

God bless you in Jesus name. Luke chapter 9 and 10

I enjoy star gazing when there's something to look at, like Blood Moons, etc.

There is too much need, to minister the Word of God to those who have questions; which I was called to do in 1985. I had a salvation experience like Paul. One minute "killing Christians" with Astrology, and then seeing the Lord in front of me. He folded the room back, and I saw His eyes. One day serving the devil; next day, adopted into Gods family. He forgives us perfectly.

Who is on this earth is of greater importance than filling my head with weighty details of space. Someday we'll be where we can see it up close. We can see Jesus lifted up high in our praise and worship. 'Adore' is a little word, to describe emotion as huge as space seems-in Jesus. He made everything we see, and He can fold it over like a page in a book and show the other side.

We serve a very mighty God. Wonders we've never imagined. We can be as close to Him as we dare to. His blood is so holy! On the Cross his blood fell on the earth and redeemed it. I used to garden a lot, and the Holy Spirit would show these truths. I have heard the sound of Jesus's laugh. There is no other sound to compare with. He rejoices with us, in our accomplishments__like a daddy would over his toddlers attempts to pull up and stand alone.

If you seek-you will find. He doesn't put limitations on our love, adoration and exploration. We're all different because he desired it as so. So why do we not accept ourselves as the perfection He called to be?

People we deem imperfect, ugly, (and other adjectives):

In Heaven we will be in resurrection bodies, unique and perfect. In our spirits we know this to be true.

Stars and planets pale, in comparison. He made those stars and planets. Each one unique. He gave us telescopes :) to look at them now.

Evangelize people whose vision is dimmed because they are not in Christ yet. Hurry and get them in Christ NOW.

Not much time left. Forget politics, technology.

Hi Albert, the Book of the Revelation makes reference to the 'bottomless pit' in several places: Revelation chapters 9, 11, 17 & 20. And this place is generally seen as Hell, the domain of Satan, his devils, & the wicked. This place is different to their final place of judgement: the Lake of Fire (Revelation chapters 19, 20 & 21).

Hi Patty. "Sleep" is sometimes used as a euphemism for 'death'. You can look at the account of Lazarus in John 11:1-14, particularly verses 11-14, where Jesus clearly said that Lazarus had died, though He referred to it as sleep. And so it is, that death is like a sleep: not only are we not aware of anything around us, but there will be a time of awakening out of sleep. Also, see 1 Corinthians 11:29,30.

Then in 1 Corinthians 15:51-55, the Apostle Paul tells us that there will be a time coming that "we shall not all sleep", meaning that not all living on Earth at Christ's coming will have to die first. First, the dead (called 'asleep' in 1 Thessalonians 4:13) will awake out of sleep, & then those alive at that time, together with the dead, will be changed into new bodies. But these bodies that are asleep are just that: bodies in the ground, where their spirits have already returned to the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:14, tells us that "those who sleep in Jesus, God will bring with Him". So, at Christ's coming for His Church, the dead (those 'asleep') arise first & then those who have not died will then together go upwards to meet the Lord & forever be with Him. Some have questioned that most of the dead at Christ's coming will have little or no evidence in the ground, or even scattered or burnt, and so how are they asleep or will be resurrected? The Lord only knows what He will do - it may be that a part of the meaning of this 'resurrection' is the removal of anything of the Christian from the Earth. So if there's nothing left here, nothing is retrieved, since our spirits are already with the Lord.

I can't speak of those who've had 'near death experiences' & such encounters, but again we know that our spirits cannot be destroyed & we return to the Lord Who gave it. Though to be with the Lord, we must first know the Lord. And only those who have been washed, sanctified, justified by the Lord Jesus, will live again with Him forever ( 1 Corinthians 6:11).

Thinking more of eternal life. 1John 3:15

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

What role does the Hebrews book have on the Hebrew people and their not accepting Christ as the Messiah?

I meant that he wasn't around long after the FLOOD event. Sorry for the wording...

Hello, when you say not there, what exactly about John 3:3 isn't there: the book of John itself, the chapter, or verse? Does your Bible go Matthew, Mark, Luke, then skips to Acts? If so, was it ripped out? If printed that way I think your Bible would be the only one in history like that. Bibles care meticulously scrutinized for accuracy probably more than any other book in the world.

I believe Eze 38:8 refers to the land of Judah that God has rescued from a long history of wars and strife and restored to Israel.

Very good Spencer thank you. Feeling and knowing are two different things. Everything must line up with scripture, not feeling.

No.

John the Baptist would have been That Prophet had Judah recieved Christ but they rejected him.

John the Baptist was like the famous Elijah because he was a fore runner to get Israel baptized to prepare to receive their King and the Redemption out from the devil's dominion.

He was a son of a Temple Servant: A Levite, but never served the temple, he was not A team material in the tribe like Elijah.

He Never served the Temple.

Malachi chapter 3:1

" Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple,"

Isaiah chapter 66 v 1 has some very rhetorical questions of Where God Dwells.

Today's Temple is in you. God was in Christ reconciling Himself to the world and Colossians 1:27 states that to the Born Again, it is " Christ in You".

The new temple Christ will build in 3 days AFTER the existing remains/ foundations are WASTED, is where God will Dwell with His People: The Bride of Christ.

The Bride are the leadership like in the wilderness: levites. Virgins because they did not worship other gods.

We are members of the Body of Christ, where God Dwells Now.

The Bride's outreach is to those who are in the resurrection of the just; the Children who are taught in dreamy sweet Tabetnacles like David's was.

They need to confess and believe too to 'brand-up' with eternal life because it was not accessible to them before they died.

The refining begins by establishing leadership.

The temple to serve today is Not the Bride, it is the Body of Christ.

Elijah to come has holy spirit, is born again and it is Christ who has commissioned him.

When Christ comes to his temple, he comes to the Body of Christ whom Elijah is counted among.

Romans 10:9

Hi Mrs Shipman.

Here's another scripture to go with the great scriptures others have shared.

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Ephesians 5:17-18.

Our influence in everything we do should come by the Holyspirit.

A drunkard is influenced by the alcohol and this also apply to drug use. I believe Alcohol and drugs exercise the old nature.

It puts you in a carnal state which cannot please God.

Romans 8:6-7.

I hope this helps.

God bless.

Astrology is the use of Planets to divine events by.

Biblical Astronomy neglects the use of planets for Signs and Seasons.

The lunar month is biblical in respect to events as is the sun.

The Rosh or head of every month according to scripture is not Astrology in any way.

The Rosh is the first observed crescent moon as seen from Jerusalem.

There is more, in fact the scriptures we have are frequented with celestial references because before the Written Word in script, it was and still is up there in the creation. It was once a mysyery (now often obfuscated in errors in traditions and religions) but the first Unveiling of Christ was to Adam who needed Hope. Genesis 3:15 and the Hope of a born redeemer is the summary of much that could never fill volumes of books, once recorded for posterity by Ham and Shem in their Hope-centric post flood cultures.

His star is Sirius.

It Proceeds at sunrise every day and moves westward until it sets for 70 days to re-emerge.

Look at it in a telescope. The Acceptable year was the year Sirius rose before the sun did and appeared beet red.

That is what Daniel taught in captivity to the astronomical observers whose offspring watched diligently for the promised sign.

Sirius's annual helical rise was the New Year on the Nile. They looked too for a kinsman redeemer, a King and Shepherd with a crook and Was staff.

The Was staff is an astronomical tool to determine the Celestial Meridian with a plumb bob. A year based on the helical rise of Sirius is 365.25 days long. Still is.

When The new year was observed it was the Jubilee up and down the nile. When Jesus read from Isaiah, he was declaring that the acceptable year ( Sirius bloomed) was his. In Revelation 22, he declares that he is the Morning Star, Not a planet. The Alpha and Omega reference requires more ink to teach but it has to do with celestial time and this present and last processional cycle of earth history the end of which is framed in the last celestial age/step Matt 24: 3

Yes.

The New body is fashioned like Christ's : is 100% holy spirit. You cannot stand before God at His Throne without it. Daniel chapter 7:14. So get some.

Your mind will be no longer susceptible to the whims and fears of the natural body you were born with.

We eat, we travel very well not limited to the physical laws of this physical domain because we are always "seated at the right hand of God" as Sons of God, that is our homebase.

To be a Son of God is to do Romans 10:9, to confess Jesus as your Lord and to believe that God raised him from the dead. That is it!

At that moment you have a perfectly renewed mind but it needs maintenance to stay in fellowship ( see 1st John about fellowship fixes, Romans 12:1, etc.) and someday we will live free from fleshy entanglements in our new dreamy holy spirit bodies.

Angels are servants, we are Sons.

hope that helps you .

Hi Thelma.

I would like to second Brother Chris well stated answer to your question.

However this woman birthing the holyspirit spoken by others isn't scriptural.

God bless.

"Who was it, that was brought back by the sword ?"

A closer look at the words in the verse is required to answer that informatively.

I am looking at verse 8 of chapter 38. KJV

Strong's h6485

- Lexical:

- Transliteration: paqad

- Part of Speech: Verb

- Phonetic Spelling: paw-kad'

- Definition: to attend to, visit, muster, appoint.

- Origin: A primitive root; to visit (with friendly or hostile intent); by analogy, to oversee, muster, charge, care for, miss, deposit, etc..

- Usage: appoint, X at all, avenge, bestow, (appoint to have the, give a) charge, commit, count, deliver to keep, be empty, enjoin, go see, hurt, do judgment, lack, lay up, look, make, X by any means, miss, number, officer, (make) overseer, have (the) oversight, punish, reckon, (call to) remember(-brance), set (over), sum, X surely, visit, want.

We see that the people are not just visited, they are Mustered.

Those 'mustered' are Those Rescued from the sword or death:

"of those brought back" =

Strong's h7725

- Lexical:

- Transliteration: shub

- Part of Speech: Verb

- Phonetic Spelling: shoob

- Definition: to turn back, return.

- Origin: A primitive root; to turn back (hence, away) transitively or intransitively, literally or figuratively (not necessarily with the idea of return to the starting point); generally to retreat; often adverbial, again.

This is like the Red Sea rescue but for the Bride And the Body of Christ. The members of the Body are a mystery in scripture here until it was revealed ( apocalypse) to the First Century Church that basically all three branches of Noah were eligible for holy spirit upgrade for their earthen jugs, for Sonship, not just to be Servants. The mystery of unexplained sequences and actors in the old testament can be understood with the key to interpretation: The Word of God who is the living Christ, magnified above all of God's marvelous works ( Psalm 138:2b).

Mysteries still exist until the next Apocalypse or unveiling.

Amen! Great answer Brother Chris.

God bless you.

Hi James.

Yes I believe the little children and some mentally challenged people will go to heaven.

Here's why, There seems to be an age of accountability.

Deuteronomy 1:39. Here Joshua reminds Israel of the decree given by God in Numbers 14:21-33. Here the age of accountability is 20 years old.

James 4:17. I don't see a one year old knowing he's in need of a savior.

Romans 14:12. This is something a child can't do.

King David seems to think at least babies go to heaven in 2 Samuel 12:19-23.

Today this may have more to do with maturity which differs from one kid to another.

Perhaps at an early age one may know good from evil but lack full knowledge and understanding of the gospel, and need of a savior. I hope this helps.

God bless.

In verse 38:3

Rosh is correctly translated as Hebrew for head, it is not a geographical place and Homeland of Gog or Magog, descendants of Japheth's Branch.

Neither is it identified as Ham's Branch and definitely not Shem's genetic Branch which is THE (genetic) BRANCH ( to carry Adam's genetics because the wicked like Cain and Esau are NO deal because their jugs were skankified with unholy sonship from lucifer).

Rosh means head. No matter how much the Franks and Merovingian's defined themselves as The Branch of a Davidic King to come, Rosh is Not Russia, the object of modern literate templar dominionists.

Rosh is Russia according to dogma in the old world and 'Western' parroted the dogma to murder the Tsar and all immediate family. They were not Merovingian royal poeseurs but Russia is a repository of First Century Christian and Hebrew Diaspora. To kill those is to attack the children of promise there, to remove them from the gene pool, to insure those who did have an inheritance were rubbed out.

The looming war in Europe is to do one thing: to defeat the promises of God by Mutual Assured Destruction, to destroy the Living Remnant Diaspora there who are part of the Levites who will teach God's Word to the Resurrection of the just so that they too can 'brand-up' with holy spirit.

Gog and Magod are a confederacy of nations, not isolated Russia. Are genetically and spiritually Japheth's crooked line that Masons and Freemasons worship. Russia is not in that definition, Russia is not north of JRS or the mountains there

about. The Bride is in Diaspora to this day. It is the Body who fly to their windows like doves to rescue them, to take them where he calls.

Then off we go to the Throne for 3 earth days. Then we return to be On earth with the King. With the the Bride, united at last under his dominion ( Dan 7:14) so we can be rewarded and We are then as before, the Chariot and the Horsemen of Israel.

The Deliverer comes in like a fast raptor to pick up/ rescue.

When people die some come back to tell us about there loved ones are there and how they feel so lovedthey don't want to reture to earth , but yet it has been said that when we die we go sleep till jesus comes back

where in the bible dose it talk about the bottomless pit

When Christ described the Holy Spirit it was said to do remind us of 3 things; sin; righteousness and JUDGMENT. ( John 16:8-11). When we look to the meek such as Moses and the humble such as David; we observe a man who spoke with God "face to face" ( Exodus 33:11). David was a man "after God's own heart"( 1 Sam. 13:14; etal). Moses made the mistake of trying to enact justice himself when he killed the man who was beating a fellow Israelite; and had to wait another 40 years to be used by God for the purposes intended in His plan from the beginning to deliver His people from bondage. David mourned Saul's death of "God's anointed" ( 1 Chron. 16:22). Despite this; he had many "impreccatory" prayers in Psalms indicating his hatred for evil; and asking for judgment to take place on the wicked.

In these passages; we see the principles also in the New Testament; that the "meek shall inherit the earth." ( Matthew 5:5). We must remember that God also promises that according to Malachi 4:3 His people will "tread down the ashes of the wicked." His saints also will rule with a rod of iron according to Rev. 2:26-27; and other verses in Psalms (which I can't find at present).

There is a risk of going to either extreme as will all other scriptures; where we become either too "lovey dovey" in approaching God and only quoting verses that sound nice; or of course always preaching about judgment. The truth is; God is both a God of vengeance and a God of mercy and grace. Yes; He will tread the winepress alone ( Isaiah 63:3); but there are special places of authority for His children in the Kingdom of God "ruling over cities" for instance in Luke 19. David himself apparently will co-reign on earth with Christ someday and us as kings and priests ( Jeremiah 30:9; Rev. 1:6 and others). Then; our real enemy; Satan will be confined; and eventually death itself will be abolished according to 1 Corinthians 15:55 and also mentioned in Hosea.

Search the scriptures. Agape.. Rich P.

Psalm 119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.

Believers have hearts to thank God for life and praise Him for all His goodness, and we pray for His help and guidance daily.

I like your commentary on Job but I am puzzled why you said Job did not likely live long after his trial was over. This is from Job 42:

12 So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.

14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.

15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

17 So Job died, being old and full of days.

This chapter once again demonstrates knowledge of the afterlife that already was revealed by God. We see in verse 5 and 6 that there are spirit forms under the sea; and hell is naked. This brings to reminder the resurrection of the wicked in Rev. 22. Verse 7 likely is talking about an empty stretch of sky in the north where mysteriously; there are few galaxies or stars visible. It would seem that heaven is somewhere beyond that region. The fact that earth s "hanging on nothing" in that same verse would tie in with the orbital pass through the solar system in a vacuum.

Moving on to verse 8; the basic hydrologic cycle with clouds filled with immense amounts of water vapor are shown not to burst; which reinforces God's promises in Genesis never to flood the earth again worldwide. Keep in mind Job was likely a book by a character around not too long after this event.

Verse 9 reminds us somewhat of later representations of the heavenly throne. Verse 10 shows how the earth and sea for now are separated; but as Rev 22 also indicates; there will be no more sea after the Millennium and when the earth and its works are burned up; as described in 2 Peter 3:10. Verse 10 also may show how; for instance there is a distinct boundary between oceans; such as is with the Atlantic and Pacific.

Verse 11 is a bit vague; perhaps related to Seal Judgments? Verse 12 could refer to the Exodus event. Verse 13 may be representative of a snake in general or Satan himself; in the end all things are created beings but the Triune God Himself.

Good works follow salvation but never precede salvation and never produce salvation. Any person claiming to have saving faith without the evidence of good works as fruit is lying or deceived about being saved.

Hi everyone dear. Now a case is central. You can turn around and never touch what you "like so much" again. John 8:36 Like and take any miserable thought as temptation. 2 Corintihans 10:5 Place it somewhere you can not come and never bring it out again! : D I see hope in that. 1 John 5:13

For when we meet the Lord in our life, all things become new, the old is gone. John 3:7 John 3:21 And remember it is the Lord who must draw us. John 6:44 We ourselves do not know anything. It is good that we can lean on Jesus, we must all do that.

Stay blessed in Jesus name, love u all in Christ.

Adam, these are good words to us reading here, thanks.

I think the covid ordeal has caused many people to find themselves more isolated than they have ever been before. Some people, like my 88 year old mom, already live out a fairly isolated life and so the covid ordeal has not affected them too much. But others, especially those who are outgoing by nature, may find this period of isolation unbearable. Some who, prior to covid, entertained and fellowshipped with others regularly, and then have had to cease most of this. Each person has needed to adjust in their own situation.

But you are so right, we are never completely alone as a believer, because God is within us! You cannot get any closer than that!

Still, the absence of face to face contact with other people can lead some into depression and loneliness. Perhaps those who know people who are vulnerable to this should make extra efforts to call these people more often and have a real conversation on the phone, not just texting, or do facetime.

For me, an outgoing person who now am home all day, I am learning to be satisfied with being by myself and my husband, who works from home in his office during the day. I am learning to pray more, study God's word more, and research topics that come up on this forum. Participating on this forum has been helpful to me. I am learning to rest in the Lord more.
