I have often pondered our God's ways. To be shown that each step, each breath, and each tear has been ordained. They're all set already in His counsel before God even created. Each ordained for us to cry. Sometimes we wonder at the tears He gives...yet, He has a perfect plan for each one. They are so precious to Him that He will not let them fall, but He gathers them up into a bottle. Why? Oh, that we may know His love. For...each tear reminds us that we have a Saviour Who loved His Father and His beloved so much that He shed tears and anguish that even dropped as blood. For - our sorrows come because we are flesh and sin's sorrow we feel. Man must die and sin's curse is death. But, our sorrows have been taken by our Man of Sorrow. Our tears which deserve to be shed in anguish of God's wrath, have been shed by our Christ. Isaiah 53:3-4 "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted." And, in Him, we also have the wonder that we live. For, His tears were wiped away, and He sits in glory. And, He now gives us each tear that we understand His perfect love. That when our tears drop, we know He's gathering them until that day when there will no longer be a need for us to behold Him through them. For - we will have all tears wiped away, and we will behold Him in perfection where no sorrows are, but only Joy eternal! Nothing can separate us from His love. His vow is upon us, and Christ has fulfilled all. Oh, may we praise Him!

Hi Tim. Today, we use that expression to describe the full expanse of the globe, or if people are coming for a conference from the 'four corners of the Earth', we easily understand its meaning: that almost all countries are sending out people/delegates for that meeting.

In the Bible (Old Testament) we see this expression often ( Ezekiel 7:2; Isaiah 11:12) giving us the Hebrew word, kanaph, which in this usage, means 'extremities'. In the New Testament ( Revelation 7:1) the Greek word is 'gonia' & here it means 'angle, corner, division'. So the 'angels standing on the four corners of the Earth' seem to represent the division of the earth into four, and each angel covering the quadrant assigned to him, holding back the winds. Today, we would use the four points of the compass to describe the expanse of the Earth ( Luke 13:29), though the meaning in those days was that 'people would come from where the sun rises, from where it sets, from where the North wind comes, & from the direction of the South wind'. All these speak of the 'four corners of the Earth', never implying that the Earth has actual corners, which could never be identified anyway, no matter how hard man searched for them.

Sixth day creation,.. all God's children have been going to either the right or left side of heaven,.. for a long time before Jesus got here ,.. we have knowledge of Jesus even going to that left side after the crucifix, an it's written that many followed him on over to the right side

We are all God's children,.. an we shall all be judged by our works ,.. revelation chapter 14 vs 13

In heaven,.. on the right side / I'm sure !!! There are 2 sides with a gulf in between,..

North / south / east / west

Hello Beverly Drigger,

I am sorry for the heavy heart & loss you're feeling. Years ago I was going through heavy loss & I looked up the deeper the meaning of "HE binds up their wounds" & realized in life when we've gone through a surgical procedure or similar the bandages are wrapped around & tended to, sometimes removed & rebound. In the healing process. The more serious, bigger etc. The more to the process & longer to heal. It was comforting to me & I hopefully to you. That it seems to be written in the present tense, meaning HE's actively binding up our wounds. Psalms 147:3, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18,

Isaiah 26:19, 2Samuel 12:19-23, Revelation 20, Revelation 1:5, Revelation 4:13,

Hopefully these help answer your question & helps comfort you, in this moment.

Ummmm..yeah!

Pray before you do it. She may not receive it well at the moment but it will linger in her spirit Until she gets it. Definitely tell her. But have some Bible to back it up.

I wish I could answer that for you. I did not know your sister. I don't know what her beliefs were spiritually.

I do believe I know where your sister wants you to be when you pass away though.

Beverly, I pray right now to God our Father and ask Him to give you peace that surpasses all of our human understanding that you may rest in His love. IJN

John 3:16

For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son, so that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

Please Ask Jesus into your heart if you haven't already. Turn from your sins and find a church family to study the Bible with and get water baptized.

The Lord will answer all your questions in due time. I'm so sorry for your loss. Keep coming here.

Maybe some of the more mature Christians would have some more input for you. I'm praying for you tonight.

Where is the four corners of the earth

All he did was kinda sorta have some Type of heart attack that's how he died

No Moses Did not know Jesus was calling him

Hello Lyle. I've always understood this verse in Genesis 2:24, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh", as not spoken by Adam, but by the author, under inspiration of the Holy Spirit, after what Adam had previously stated in verse 23.

So, it appears that Moses (as generally attributed to be the main author of Genesis), had deduced that from Adam's words 'that this woman has come out of (made from) me & now one flesh', that in marriages after Adam & Eve's creation, the unity of husband & wife are also seen in similar manner: that before God, they are one, though two distinct beings with their own personalities, special functions, & inclinations. This unity was to be indissoluble except by death. And Jesus also quoted Moses in this matter: Matthew 19:3-6. And so the question that was raised by the Pharisees, 'if this is so, why did Moses allow for a writing of divorcement?' And Jesus went on further to explain this special concession given to a demanding Israel was never in God's Plan for marriage & the union of two people.

im not saying this to condone or encourage drinking alcohol but this chapter 9 is proof that wine has always been wine. and not grape juice as many insist it was indeed alcaholic wine that noah got drunk on

It appears so Denny, that the word "eternity" would better fit & indeed, is directly translated from the Hebrew ('olam'): long duration, antiquity, ages.

Yet, when I think further on this verse & why the translators chose to use the word, 'world', I sense that consideration was given to the preceeding verses (i.e. vv 1-10), of the endless aspects & experiences of life, both good & bad. That God "hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end."

This might possibly indicate that man is not only confined to the endless cycle of life's encounters (as part of being in the 'world'), but also signifying the hunger & anticipation also arising in our hearts: that God having planned something better for us, a break from this cycle, when we might learn the reason for our confinement to these limitations & why God had chosen not to reveal all His Secrets to us. Our sin no doubt played a major part in what we experience now & the withholding of what ought to have been given to us for our full enjoyment.

Of course, now being in Christ & by His Coming to Earth, the miracle of rebirth, the bringing together of Jew & Gentile into one Body, the power to live beyond our circumstances, & the glories of eternity, are now the joyful possession & anticipation of those found in the Beloved. Indeed, God has "made everything beautiful in His Time", & only after time as we know it, ends, will we know the fulness of that beauty reserved for His children.

Thank you for that great question brother, which should prompt us to ponder further with the Spirit's Help, to give us more knowledge & joy in anticipation.

I love to share inthe knowledge in which Father God has blessed each & everyone of us. Every

Viewpoint is so special to me. I hear My Father

GOD in all comments about the Word. I love to see so many people into the Word, like I've been .It's

My sister died April 17th 2021,I'm having a hard time getting over her death,? Where is she now

Hello Jeremiah. This account that you refer to, begins at John 3:10, as Jesus continues His talk with Nicodemus. Jesus has just given him a very strange Word (or, concept): that this new spiritual re-birth from God has nothing to do with a physical re-birth. And so when Nicodemus enquires further, Jesus states, that as a master (i.e. teacher or doctor of the Law) in Israel, he should have understood & be conversant with such a Truth. He should have known of God's Spirit working upon & within many people (e.g. Numbers 27:18; Judges 3:9,10; 1 Samuel 10:9,10; Ezekiel 36:26-28; Isaiah 11:1-5); that the self-same Spirit Who could come upon people could also one day give them a new Spirit within them to worship God & live through His Power - a new life acceptable to God, even as God gave His Spirit to accomplish His Purposes in those of olden days.

Then Jesus continues to speak with Nicodemus; that what he is hearing now is coming from One Who knows & Who has seen the working of God's Spirit. And further (in John 3:13), Jesus says that there has been no one to have gone into Heaven to learn of these things & bring them to people, but only the One Who was always in Heaven & has come down from Heaven.

Jesus' Words here don't just speak of life after death, but specifically about those who did rise (whether in spirit or in the first resurrection), who did not return back to share this Truth about rebirth with them; people living now could not learn this Truth from anyone, but from the Son of Man Who is the Son of God, coming from God & bringing it to man. And Nicodemus should have understood at least a little of what Jesus was saying to him, because of his knowledge of the Scriptures.

And yes, true, there'll be a day when God will bring forth a new Earth, devoid of any stain of evil, where all of Heaven & Earth will reside ( Revelation 21:1-7), and all sinners (unrepentant, remaining enemies of God & the Cross of Christ), will only be found in the Lake of Fire (v8).

Ideally, we should make use of every opportunity to share the truth about Jesus and salvation. I think it is probably important to become informed about Mormon doctrines and how it deviates from Scripural doctrines. That way we will be prepared to converse from a standpoint of readiness. If you have Mormons in your sphere, then I would say, yes, speak to them. Not everyone knows a Mormon. But some of us know a Jehovah Witness, or Christian Scientist, or Muslim. We should prayerfully engage with those who believe falsely about Jesus or deny God altogether as it isn't so much about pointing out where they are wrong but winning them for Christ. We should be respectful and willing to answer their inquiries to us and listen to them explain their faith. And praying that God opens doors to their hearts to hear the true gospel.

Just need prayers.

Thank You

How did Adam know about a father and a mother? See Chap. 2:24

Thank you for answering.

Great clarity - great outline

2 Chronicles 25:7-8, Matthew 13:37-52, Matthew 18:2-14, he warned some Matthew 21:41-44, Matthew 22:1-14, Matthew 23:13-39, Matthew 25:31-46, John 8:13-39,

& sealed in The last days Revelation 7:2-17, Hopefully these are all helpful

Ray,

Romans 11:26 tells us that all Israel shall be saved. Now, that does not mean that every single Israelite, past, present, and future is going to be saved. It means that when Christ comes (After the fullness of the Gentiles), which is a time period from Pentecost until the Rapture of the church, but when the fullness of the Gentiles comes in, there will be a Tribulation Period.

And then afterwards, when Christ comes at His second coming, those Jews who are on the earth will be saved, approximately one third of them that began the tribulation period. It says "As it is written, there shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

It goes on further in Romans 11:27, which is the fulfilment of the prophecy given to us in Isaiah 59:21 and Zechariah 12:10. All of these tell us that when Christ comes, they (the Jews) are going to look on Him whom they have pierced, and He is going to take away all of their sins. This will come at Christ's second coming. At Jesus' second coming, every Jew who is still alive on this earth will be saved!
