Proverbs 17:4

4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.

Why is America currently being ruled by godless democrats? Because so many Americans are wicked and believe the lies of the wicked and vote for the liars and crooks who lie and cheat their way into power.

Who ever u r God bless u but please don't b so worried . This is what we want : Thy Kingdom Come . If u belong to God then u have no reason to b afraid . For sure , it's distressing to c all the awful things going on all over the globe but they r signs of the times . God is every where , we belong to Him so wether we live or die we r His , in life in death in ressurection , we r His so have nothing to fear . He sees all and none of us who belong to Him should b afraid , look up , for your redemption draweth nigh . Be not soon shaken .

You too, Jeanie.

Revelation 18:1-24

I just saw a link on here pointing at America as being the subject of these verses.

I never saw this before now. But we are seeing this as our nation is sliding into Apostasy. Leaders are persecuting Israel instead of blessing it.

Pandemics, incredible escalation of crimes and violence. ( Google crime in Seattle and Portland. It boggles the mind, the results of defunding police and forcing emergency services to be vaccinated or they are fired.

We have this unfounded optimism that things will soon return back to normal. However, Bible Prophesy is beginning to repel that optimism. I don't think "we" can fix this or stop it's momentum. Our communities may seem Safe to us and our children, but reality is on the evening news every day.

Our nation voted for this and we are stuck with that action. A whole nation would have to repent in sackcloth and ashes to turn this momentum [like Nineveh in the Bible].

Evangelize your loved ones now.

If you don't have any prophesy books handy, you can watch some Nelson Walters videos on YouTube, when you read daily news. Israel is the "Apple" of Gods eye.

Keep your eyes on that. What's happening there. Read Matthew 24 and Luke 21.

Jesus IS the 2nd ARK. We must be in Christ to survive. There are unbelievable disasters going on, all over the earth. Google that, every week.

People: it's not about GLOBAL WARMING. "Green Deals" will not fix it. 2 PETER 3, days it's all going to Burn. The earth is heating up by the Word of God. It is happening now. Disasters will increase. Forests will burn. Icebergs will melt and raise sea levels. Move to higher ground NOW. Move out of the forests. Big cities don't have enough money or votes to stop the crime. Move!

EVANGELIZE those that you love. I'm doing what God told me to do. PLEASE check this information out for yourself.

I say this with much love and concern for everyone. Let's not watch the clock zero out.

I must disagree with you on the subject of water baptism.

Water baptism was for the nation ol of Israe, who werel under the Law.

Since the Jewish people crucified Jesus,

God has put Israel aside and are cut off until after the Rapture,

they have no way to have their sins forigiven...

Now ---

Jesus commissioned Apostle Paul to go to the Gentiles while the

other 12 went out to the National of Israel proclaiming Jesus was the true Messiah.

Just think about the simple difference between who were

Water Baptised and who are

Spirit Baptised...

You cannot have both...

I have completed a detailed study on this subject and many others at

rd1514 add dot com.

hi to all. Can anyone throw light on verse 13. In all other bible versions a tamarisk tree is the burial place of Saul. The AV has a nameless tree. where do the other version get Tamarisk from. Reading bible for over 50 years never seen this before. Just shows how little I know.

Regards to all

Judges 3:12

3 Now these are the nations which the Lord left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

2 Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;

The Lord does not deliver Christians from all besetting sins at salvation. He leaves some for Christians to struggle with to help them learn and grow in the Lord.

Note also that on that day Jesus was not in paradise .

The apostle Peter gave the answer to this question about the Gentiles being circumcised, in that God would not have us to put a yoke upon the Gentiles, that neither the disciples, nor our fathers could keep. We are all saved, Jews and Gentiles by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by grace, not of works lest any man should boast. Paul said all boasting must be in the Cross of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. About celebrations every man must be fully persuaded in his own mind not to set a stumbling block before our brothers and sisters in Christ. Let us be at peace with all men and follow holiness, for without holiness no man will see the Lord. So all of our righteousness is imputed by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His holiness is imputed to our account by faith

Micah 3:11

11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come upon us.

Unsaved officials in the US are becoming more and more oppressive towards innocent Americans, especially towards infants and conservatives.

Judges rule in favor of whatever political power they want to please or in favor of whoever gives them enough money to pervert justice. Priests craft their influence to appeal to all sorts of people, even to rebels against God. Teachers teach whatever the unions and secular school boards tell them, whether the instruction is right or not. Politicians promote the bad policies of wicked donars with evil agendas, and so forth.

Coming across the word, "Jehovah," in KJV version, somewhat bothers me; particularly, when I saw the verse Isaiah 26:4 today, on Saturday, March 19.

Is there anyone else who feel the same way or feel strange about this? Just seeing the word reminds me of Jehovah's witnesses. Honestly, I have taken it into practice to not be a part of a denominational group.

I decided to search online and here's the article I found explaining two reasons the word Jehovah shouldn't be in all modern bibles, including KJV. Unfortunately, I'm not authorized to post the link here.

It's a great mystery why David counted all the people of Israel. It seems that they had just won a great battle before David's counting of all his soldiers, which were a large number. David's pride came in to play here as he depended on his soldier's might rather than God's. Pride destroys people all the time. having a big head sometimes backfires on you as it did David here. Good example are pro athlete's, they are on top of the world one day and the next on the bottom.

So what you are saying is that you are a hebrew?

Hi Sarah,

The Passover and how it was to be done you will find in Exodus 12:3-11, read all of Exodus 12. The Passover day is on the 14th of Nisan the day Jesus was crucified; this day is also a preparation day for the 15th the first day of 7 days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Jewish people on Passover, gather together for a ceremonial meal called a seder and telling of the story of the Exodus from Egypt.

Some Christians celebrate passion week and Easter Sunday, the day Jesus resurrected, and some just Easter Sunday. It is easy to get lost in traditions, there comfortable and many have reunions on these holidays.

You say you are concerned; Passover is one of the feasts that Israelites were required to return to Jerusalem. Many combine the Passover and the Unleavened Bread feast into 8 days and call it the feast of Passover or the Feast of Unleavened bread, they did that in the time of Jesus, Matthew 26:17 Luke 22:1.

By following traditions we can overlook what Jesus fulfilled, He rode in on the 10th of Nisan, the Passover day on the 14th of Nisan, the day He was crucified, the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world, the Tamid, the first and the last, the feast of Unleavened Bread with His perfect life, the feast of First Fruits, the day He was resurrected, He ascended the same time as the priest waved the Omer, John 20:17 He is the First Fruits of those who slept, 1 Corinthians 15:20, that we now call Easter.

1Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

My understanding is Passover is a sacrifice that Jesus fulfilled; and no other blood sacrifice is needed, if done in faith, how you remember or honor it is up to you.

1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

God bless

The king of the North is Rome or the Pope, representing Spiritual Babylon and the king of the South is France (old Egypt), representing Atheism.

Giannis, read what Yeya said. That should answer your question. Thank you, Yeya. I re-read those places and now understand it.

The story of Joshua 5 mirrors the Exodus in several ways. First; it involves the end of an era and the beginning of movement into a new land across water which was dried up. Second; once again the Presence of God was there; although at this time there was the Ark with the manna inside to remind everyone of God's earlier miraculous provision. There was also Joshua in the stead of Moses; acting as the leader or representative. The miracle was also noteable as the waters of the Jordan ALWAYS flooded in this season (sidenote in v. 15).

There was a call to sanctify (probably abstinence and ceremonial cleanness) in verse 5; and verse 6 indicated how the Levites were to administer initial movements forward; and the people were to follow. The 12 men of every tribe (v. 12) were to represent God's inheritance as was to be distributed among the tribes after conquest (v. 10).

It would seem that such promises which indeed brought fear among the pagans as already witnessed in Chapter 2 would cause these Jews to remain faithful for the rest of their days.

There was soon to be much fear and trepidation; and eventual disobedience-although perhaps the successful faithfulness time frame might be longer here than in during the Exodus. Admittedly; what would be seen with human eyes in regard to the giants of the land would cause such a reaction as this was a new thing to behold. Once again; the theme of TRUST in relation to God needs to be upheld. His covenants are unchanging-praise God or we would all perish as we all have sin remaining as long as our earthly tabernacle remains ( 1 John 1:8).

However; we all have the potential and ability through the Spirit to put the flesh to death day by day. We seek; however a heavenly city( Heb. 11:16) which was already foreshadowed by the faithful saints of the O.T.

I believe that we , the gentiles , non Jews , r the sheep from the other fold . Christ came to bring the good news or Gospel , of the Kingdom , firstly to physical Israel or Jews by birth or those who had converted to Judaism . After his death and resurrection the apostles and other disciples carried the good news all over the world and eventually , the printing press was invented so that the Bible is available almost everywhere now . There r still one or two countries where u might find it hard to get a copy , but not too many . Thanks to God for His marvelous work and mercy to all flesh .

As has been the case for the last number of days, the 'Remember Lot's Wife" topic has been on my mind.

In my quiet time this morning, the Lord reminded me of Israel when they were in bondage in Egypt.

The Lord came along, in the fullness of time, and delivered them...but in such a grand way, that it HAD to

be breath-taking - and that is an understatement!

They saw 10 horrid plagues, sent by the hand of God, afflict the Egyptians - but they were wonderfully

kept from those same plagues!

They saw God leading them out to the Red Sea...and then the Lord opening up the sea that they might

pass through on dry ground!

They saw the Egyptian army swallowed up in the same sea that they easily maneuvered THROUGH.

As they progressed on their journey, they saw the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire, leading them

and guiding and protecting them.

What an experience!

One would think that they would be wholly devoted to such a great, kind, loving, faithful, powerful God and

Savior, with hearts that longed after Him, and were willing to follow Him wherever He would lead.

But no.

They had an inclination.....BACKWARD!

Several times the Bible tells us that they were longing for EGYPT, and hankering after 'the way it was' there, especially the PHYSICAL pleasure ofFOOD...even if it meant to HAVE that food, they would be slaves!!

SUCH is the POWER of our corrupt nature! Those inner 'passions', our inclinations and desires

of our flesh war against the spirit, and draw us BACKWARD. We must, by God's grace and Spirit, RULE OVER

those inclinations and FACE FORWARD towards OUR promised land!

Hebrews 10:38,39 comes to my mind:

38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Let us set our faces to our heavenly Jerusalem, and by God's grace, reach our Promised Land! Amen!

Blessings!

Philippians 2.6-11

Verse 16 of this chapter I don't understand. Please explain to me exactly what it means.

This kinda reminds me of the Passover in Egypt . Rahab put a scarlet thread in her window and all that were in her house were saved from destruction . That seems to me a kind of Passover , at least for her and her family . Yes Jesus's lineage is very interesting , lots of people who we might not imagine to be there , Rahab a Canaanite prostitute and Ruth a Moabite . This to me , is a foreshadow of the cleansing of all sinners through Christ , even gentiles , us in other words . I love the Old Testament so much , it sheds so much light on the New . I'm enjoying your commentaries very much , thank you .

Lord show us Your way Lord, the way that gives us fruits that do not go down into the earth. But bulging, lush Fruits that will forever be our witness that we love You O God. Night and day we cry out to You Lord. We can only do Your will. And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Stay blessed in His Name Jesus Christ, love u all

Thank you both dear siblings. This is exactly how it should be, Light and Life in Christ Jesus. Let it overflow rather than look back on all that was good or that was Evil, we no longer live there you! Thank You for everything Lord, we love Your Society! Amen

Dear ones, I understand yours well "David", But do not understand how u answer? Marke - in Reply on Lamentations 3. So I answer with Romans Chapter 8 and 9. example: Romans 8:31-39 Amen

May the light shine in our hearts so that the heat flows it from our lives. In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, Amen

Dear "Donya", in peace, try to understand my not perfect words and gramma.

Don't you think there can be a difference? And hang on a cross next to the Lord Jesus? For in a situation like crucifixion i would think that everyone has reached a stage where they fear for their life, soul and Spirit. I am sure God saves those people whom He has ordained. Anyway, but here we are not talking about being found worthy. We are predetermined. Romans 9:18-19 It is only thanksgiving and humility that we should show to the Almighty God, and wish all the best for all. He who intercedes for all His. Romans 8:27-30

Therefore, when people are baptized, they receive a promise that the whole family will be saved. Acts 16:31-34 Is not it worth baptizing for? :) Got some word from

Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

29

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

God bless us in Jesus Name, love u all

I am rooting my faith in Ephesians 4 and praying this passage of Scripture often, asking God with attitude of humility, gratefulness, and thanksgiving to guide me towards grace, service, and reconciliation so that in all I do that I may exalt and honor the Lord.

That is likely so. Interestingly, however, the angel's response clearly showed he was not taking any sides in the fight but the Lord's side, and that was all that mattered. What is important is not whether the Lord is on our side, but whether we are on the Lord's side.

We will keep you in our prayer.

Please remember what Jesus promised us:

Matthew 5:3-4

Blessed are those who are poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who mourns for they will be comforted.

We will pray for your family.

God bless my friend.

Originally I wrote a post saying that trying to show that "shall be made alive" in 1 Corinthians 15:22 is more than just physical resurrection may be trying to prove too much. But I was wrong.

The word translated "shall be made alive" zoopoiethesontai is derived from a word that is used in the New Testament for being resurrected or quickened to eternal life. Here are the other passages that use derivatives of this word:

John 5:21

John 6:63

Romans 4:17

Romans 8:11

1 Corinthians 15:36

1 Corinthians 15:45

2 Corinthians 3:6

Galatians 3:21

1 Peter 3:18

This word cannot mean life common to all men living and moving and having their being in Christ, nor can it mean simply resurrection to either eternal life or the second death. Under this meaning I am persuaded that the word "all" in 1 Corinthians cannot be an unlimited universal "all" and in both instances where it is used in this passage it is limited by the words "in Adam" and "in Christ". "In Christ" appears to be used in this passage by Paul in a similar way to the way he uses that phrase and the phrase "in Him" in Ephesians.

Ephesians 1:2-4,7,10,13,20

Ephesians 2:6-7,10,13,20-22

Ephesians 3:6,11-12

Ephesians 4:32

This also suggests that "all men" in Romans 5:18 is limited by the "one man" being referenced, either Adam or Christ.

The connection that Adam and Christ share in common with the "all" in 1 Corinthians 15:22 and Romans 5:8 has several different interpretations that have been offered. Personally I believe there is a federal headship connection. "Things done by one may be imputed unto others, propter relationem foederalem, because of a covenant relation between them." Hodge

I also believe Adam and Christ are uniquely qualified and appointed by God to be the first fruits of their respective seed. No other human beings can be presented before God in the way they can.
