When will Jesus come to Jerusalem?

Hello Rick,

I'll have to take another look at that chapter. I know you mention context, but I still cannot see how Enoch would be included with those in chapter 13, especially when chapter 5 says that God transferred him and that he would not see death. What are your thoughts on the phrase "he was not found." To me, if he died a normal physical death, they would have known where his body was. It is my belief that both Enoch and Elijah never experienced physical death and that God took both of them prior to experiencing death. You are the first believer that I've talked to that says Enoch died a normal physical death. What are your thoughts on Elijah? Did Hod take him before he experienced death?

Charles Capps was my friend. He's deceased now. Still has a teaching on YouTube, Titled: the Authority of the Believer. listen to it and get ALL the scripture references.

The Dominion God gave to Adam

+ the Authority of the Believer in Christ

= Total Destruction of Satan's Power against

Believers in Jesus Christ.

Satan (as an outlaw spirit) stole Adams Dominion briefly. That includes all the principalities, powers and demons mentioned in Ephesians 6. They are all outlaws since the Birth of Jesus as HUMAN.

The Dominion was given to a human Adam.

By Abrahams (in Covenant with God) willingness to sacrifice his own son, Isaac; the plan was set in motion to redeem mankind through Jesus the Messiah. He had to be fully God, and fully Human (THE SON OF MAN) or, the son of a human.

He set aside His power, to come to earth as a newborn baby.

Jesus appeared at times in the Old Testament as the Son of God. He was in the furnace with the 3 Hebrew children in Daniel. He wrestled with Jacob, etc.

Time rolled onward; And the genealogy Bloodline, until Bethlehem. Mary and Joseph were both descendants of King David. (A prophesy fulfilled)

I'm going to skip forwardif Satan knew what the Godhead was doing, he would've not allowed the crowd to scream "crucify Jesus" and then do it. He was sure that he had gotten rid of Jesusuntil the 3rd day when Jesus came out of the Tomb!!!

We CHRISTIANS have the Dominion, the Authority of Jesus Christ to ruin Satan's plans EVERY day. The Holy Spirit accomplishes the WORD OF GOD coming out of our mouth. "It is WRITTEN"

We've been given everything we need to make satans life a nightmare. Many, many sons and daughters of God using Jesus's Name, His Authority, Dominion, over all the works of Satan and his demons. The Holy Spirit will give us the names If We Ask Him!

We are children of the Most High God; not orphans! Jesus is our High Priest and the King of Glory. reread top line

Who can forgive sins

PARA is a non word. You see it in words like paragraph, etc.

Maybe you meant PARAH

Joshua 18:23 Context

20And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families. 21Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz, 22And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel, 23And Avim, and PARAH, and Ophrah, 24And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages: 25Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth, 26And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,

Wesley's Notes for Joshua 18:21, 23

Jericho - For tho' the city was destroyed, the territory remained.

The heifer, a town in Benjamin ( Josh. 18:23), supposed to be" "identical with the ruins called Far'ah, about 6 miles north-east" "of Jerusalem, in the Wady Far'ah, which is a branch of the Wady" Kelt.

Definition of Parah:

"a cow; increasing"

Comment> maybe Para was a suburb of Jericho?

Jesus loves us! Landon

You're welcome, Hope. My religion? Well, I'm just a plain old fashioned follower of my Saviour & lover of the Word of God, having no denominational title. I'm acquainted with many different Fellowships but never have a 'perfect fit' with any; but then who does, unless forced into submission & belief. Every blessing sister.

Precious friend, Jason, I will pray for you. Please Be Encouraged In God's Word Of Truth!:

God's GRACE in infirmities: Link

Thank You

This is some scary stuff.

Y'know, the more I read stuff like this- the more I think I don't stand a chance of entering heaven

Yes I know, that Jesus died for all of us. Yes I know, that the redeemed have been washed in His blood.

Then I read verses like Hebrews 10:26-31:

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

29 Of 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.

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

I really don't know where I stand. Back in the days when I first got saved, I was led to believe that just praying "the sinners prayer" once got one into heaven. I thought I was safe. While I may have received the Truth, I didn't understand it. While I didn't do anything really bad like murder or sleep around, I stumbled around in my life trying to figure things out. I may have goofed in a few places. I did murmur a lot because I never received any help. I have no one to blame but myself.

If one ignores God, God will leave them alone. The Holy Spirit of God sees all, hears all and knows our darkest thoughts and the desires of your heart. We must desire God's Will in our lives. If we don't, everything we try to do on our own will turn to garbage.

Brethren in submission to the Lord Jesus Christ of this website. Is it not of interests how not many days ago here in the US we watched migrants under the stool of our border which provided some shade as decisions on what to do were made? Hopefully we prayed for God's Will be done and that our lives in Jesus Christ remained free. With a free heart we can also have a sincere prayer for precious Christians and some young children that are being held against their will for a price by kidnappers.

From Christian Aid Ministries Associates:

Tomorrow October 21 all believers are invited in Fasting and Prayer for: "The victims, for endurance, faithfulness, and a spirit of Christlike love. Pray for their release and that they could follow the example of Jesus who said of His enemies, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" Luke 23:34

The kidnappers- that they would experience the love of Jesus and turn to Him.

Government leaders and authorities- as they relate to the case and work toward the release of the victims.

This time of difficulty reminds us of the ongoing suffering of millions of Haitians. While our workers chose to serve in Haiti, our Haitian friends endure crisis after crisis, continual violence, and economic hardship. Despite the difficulties and dangers involved with working there, both our Haitian and American workers carry a vision to minister the love of Jesus in Haiti. Our goal is to seize opportunities around the world, even in difficult contexts, to follow the footsteps of Jesus, who "went about doing good".

God bless our faithfulness.

Amen.

Hello Brother Chris, I am a poor choice to edge myself into the subject of Non-resistance but I see how without its presence in the life of a Christian one can wander into preparations or arming themselves for the punishment and or destruction of Babylon. It will be heathen hands as Jeremiah preached that overtake Babylon. Jeremiah 51:11, 28-29. The Christian must not interfere in God's vengeance against all unrighteousness in spiritual Babylon. The sword of opposition is not Bible doctrine. Revelation 17:12-13 Summarized- Power is give to the kings and in one mind and strength to the beast. Revelation 17:14 Summarized- The war is with the Lamb. The Lamb will overcome as he is Lord of lords and King of Kings. His followers who are with him are chosen and faithful. It is the non-resistance of these believers that they can be with the Lamb as he overcomes spiritual Babylon that great city, which is the complete opposite of New Jerusalem.

Likely there will arise those whom may riot and gain followers but they will eventually be scattered as they are resistant to submission. I am certain that repeating the vision and revelation of the Lamb may be tiresome. However another happening as "I Stood" by the Lamb was it would have been near impossible to make myself lower than He. That is how we are, how I am and how we must completely surrender to His testimony of Peace.

By faith and love. We can write more together in this short walk if time allows.

God his a wonderful workmanship to creating life in this universe how he speaks its and it come to life.yeah let their be light and let their be darks and it was os extra- extra Prays be to the most hight Father yah 1.Bless

I am weak and at spiritual warfare , i have let prayer and guilt consume my mind and am so confused, i am alone as family and close friends have ignored me reaching out , the loneliness in gods timing is getting the best of me , i am scared

I thank God, for His written Word. It is worth to me, more than Silver or Gold. Praise His Holy Name.

Amen and Amen, Brother Jesse.

Faith, it's a word that describes what God did, and is still doing.

I know about the 40 years. How long did it take to get to the wilderness in Para?

Becci,

I'm not sure if there is a place in scripture that that gives us a definitive answer to that. We know that angels are spirit beings. The same with ghosts. We know we can see physical objects. And we know there is a difference between physical and spirit. I guess what I would ask is how can a person see spirit? I tend to believe that we cannot see spirit. I cannot see the Holy Spirit but by faith (Persuasion), I know He lives inside of me. I have to wonder that if we were able to see spirits (Angels/Ghosts), and especially the Holy Spirit, where would faith come in? Would there even be a need for faith? Just a thought!

Anthony Unfortunately it took 40 years because of the unbelief of the people.

Udodirim Amaefule,

When I was a young believer, I would read Hebrews 7:3, and I believed this was speaking about Christ Himself. Learning that Melchisedec meant king of righteousness caused me to believe it even more. Today, I don't believe that way anymore.

Some believe that Melchisedec was a "Christophany," an appearance of Christ Himself in the Old Testament, because his name means king of righteousness. The only problem I see with that is that in Joshua 10:1, there's another king called Adonidedec. Adoni is lord, and Zedec is righteousness, lord of righteousness.

As for Melchisedec, it says he was the king of Salem. Salem was the city of the Jebusites. And guess what city that was later on? Jerusalem. Salem is from Shalom which means peace. So since he was the king of Salem, and king of peace.

And then the characteristics we see in Hebrews 7:3 don't help the matter much. But if I look closely at how it is translated, it doesn't say that he didn't have a father. The Greek text indicates that there is no record of a father, and no record of a mother, or descent. Obviously he came from somewhere. He was a man. But there was no record.

Then it says "having neither beginning of days, nor end of life." It sort of makes it sound like he is eternal. But that's not the case. There's just no record of his birth or his death, or who his parents were.

There's a parallel between Melchisedec and Christ. It says that he was made like to the Son of God. It doesn't say he was the Son of God. That's important. He abides a priest continually. We know that Jesus had a birth. We know who His mother is and who His Father is. But that's not the parallel. The parallel is that Jesus Christ never had a beginning, and doesn't have an end.

That's why the Lord's priesthood is according to Melchisedec, because Melchisedec is parallel to the eternal existence of Christ. If you want a reference for Salem being Jerusalem, Psalm 76:1 would give you that information. Hope this helps!

Hi Jesse I noted that you state Enoch did not die but according to hebrews 11: 13 in the context it says these all died in in faith and that includes Enoch. Just an observation.

Becci No where does it say that about angels because they were seen and visited people, but so called ghosts are an entirely different subject matter and they are not the same.

1 Thessalonians 5:23

Precious brother Chris says: "I cannot find a suitable answer for," and asks Great Questions:

Where does the spirit of man go? Ecclesiastes 12:7 cp James 2:26

me: Does the soul also depart? Genesis 35:18

Is there a holding place for such? And where could this place be?

1) Before The Resurrection Of The LORD JESUS CHRIST, the paradise 'hold' was in "the heart {lower parts} of the earth" Matthew 12:40 Ephesians 4:9, Abraham's bosom, across a chasm from the 'torment' hold Luke 16:19-31 cp Luke 23:43

2) After The Resurrection Of The LORD JESUS CHRIST, paradise is now with The Throne Of God {Third Heaven?}, and Body Of CHRIST 'members' Immediately, upon physical death {'sleep' is the metaphor for the 'dead body'} "Depart to be WITH our Blessed God And Saviour, JESUS CHRIST!" 2 Corinthians 5:6,8 Philippians 1:21,23 'Confirmed' By:

3) ...Those 'asleep In JESUS'..." {metaphor for 'resting' in JESUS}, "...Will God {JESUS} Bring With HIM!" 1 Thessalonians 4:14 At our Great GRACE Departure! 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 Amen?

4) Is the "sleep/rest" UNconscious? Scripture?: Luke 16:19-31 cp Revelation 6:9-11

-------------------------

Ed Bedore says: "A proper understanding of what the Bible teaches about Hell, Sheol, Hades, and the Grave dispels confusion over what happens to the soul at the time of physical death and guards against being led astray by those teaching the false doctrines of soul-sleep, eradication of the soul, the universal reconciliation of mankind, and the annihilation of the lost.":

Plz lemme give ya my understanding on the Death ,Burial and Resurrection of Christ Jesus ( behold the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world ) . Jesus knew that all of his disciples had been WATER BAPTISED ,but he warns them if i WASH thee not you will have No part with me , He tells his own Disciples if i Wash thee Not you will have No PART with Me. Which is BAPTISM OF THE H.G. That BAPTISM OF PROMISE , Behold i send the Promise of my FATHER UPON YOU which was baptism of the H.G. Not water baptism . Eternal life in only in his blood not Water . Even in the O.T. they had to apply the BLOOD to the doorpost not water simply b/c life is only in the blood But now we apply his blood to the doorpost of our hearts by hearing his Words . When ya teach water baptism for the remission of sins you are in essence saying the blood the CROSS was insufficient which is a slap in the face of the lamb of God . Thats y the lord was so upset with Peter commanding water baptism after they had been baptised with the H.G . That resulted from his blood the CROSS .SMH

Jesus Christ sent Paul ( Acts 9:15) to preach about his name. Jesus Christ

means in Hebrew "Jehovah is Salvation" ( John 3:16,17; Psalm 83:18)

so Paul was taking the lead and many other qualified men were appointed

to lead the congregations or "Churches KJV". 1 Timothy 3

According to Acts 2 man and woman fulfilled the prophecy at Joel 2:28

during a day of Pentecost ( Acts 2:16-18). All were filled with the holy spirit ( john 4:24)

were all at the same time speaking in tongues. (multitudes heard in his own language

Acts 2:1,3,6)

Paul was maybe trying to explain that the congregation is not that event.( 1 Corinthians 12:27-31)

that they must speak or prophecy one at a time. to keep the congregation in order. 1Corinthians 14:33.

However, because a man is the head of his wife. a wife remains silent in the congregation ( 1Tim. 2:12).

if she wants to ask a question about something. she should not become authoritative within

the congregation or church (if she doesn't understand something, she should go to her husband).

1 Corinthians 14:35

Ephesians 5:21-24

if someone is single. then the head would be Jesus Christ because he is the head of the man (Jesus Christ has appointed qualified men to shepherd the congregation John 21:17. if a woman is single or not married, she can

go to the one taking the lead, and they can pray for her.

James 5:14-16

1 Samuel 1:9-18; Luke 10:38-42;

Acts 20:28; 1 Timothy 3

Regarding woman and head covering, according to 1 Corinthians 11:5,8;

if her husband is present, she covers her head if she is preaching or praying.

if her husband is not present and she preaches and prophecies or prays to God,

then she should cover her head as a sign of authority because of the angels.

this is what the scripture says. I can't tell you anything other

1 Corinthians 11:2-3;8-10; 1Tim. 2:12

1 Corinthians 11:1,2,16 "keeping the order as delivered to them"

"we have no custom of being contentious about"

Brother Manuel, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is THE SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN, specially those that BELIEVE.

1 Timothy 4:11 These things (God is saviour of all men) COMMAND AND TEACH.

I know you believe God is going to FAIL. You believe, it's up to man. That belief (it's up to you) should bring your own salvation into question.

Hello Ralph,

Are you looking for the meaning of the word translated? If so, it literally means transferred. By faith, Enoch was transferred that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had transferred him: for before he was transferred he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

This is a perfect example of the application of these two types of faith, human, and spiritual. I have yet to hear any of the "human faith" teachers, which are numerous and many, say "You know, if you had enough faith, you wouldn't have to die, you'd just get transferred up into heaven. Nobody'd done that one yet!

It was by faith that Enoch was transferred because God transferred him. Faith is the name of the entire process in which Enoch was taken up into heaven. It is a word that describes what God did to Enoch. It wasn't that Enoch was here on the earth, and reached a point in his relationship with God that he had so much faith that he believed that he could be transferred up into heaven and not die, that God says "I'm pleased with that, so I think I will bring you up here." It's a word that describes what God did. The principle of faith is given in Hebrews 11:6.

In regards to 1 Thessalonians 4:17 and the resurrection of the church of the Body of Christ whether asleep or alive, when a believer falls asleep His spirit goes back to God who gave it, Hence born again of Gods spirit. Man was originally Created in Gods image which is Spirit John 4:24 God Is Spirit. The soul life Genesis Chapter 2:7 God breathed into man the breath of life and man became a living soul so when man takes his last breath that's the end of his soul then the body unto dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt return. From what I've seen soul and spirit get some how made the same thing when they are not biblically. When we are born we are body and soul without God and without hope, then when we get born again we have our spiritual connection with God which which was lost in Genesis and bought back by Jesus Christ making it available to become sons and daughters of God. When Christ returns for His body the Church we will be resurrected in perfect bodies not like what we have now. Incredible future to look forward to.

Amen Brother Rick, I don't know why man has such a had time understanding this.

IT'S GOD'S WORDS!.

Where in the Bible does it state you cannot see angles or ghost and if you do is in in your conciousness
