Hey Jerry,

It means Gods dwelling place, He will Himself, not just His glory in a tent or a building but dwell with us and we will see His face. Revelation 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. God and Jesus will be the temple, Revelation 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

God bless,

Michael,

Jesus was baptized, and so were all of the original apostles, and they were submerged in water. If, for whatever reason one can't be submerged in water, for medical issues or other true concerns, I believe God will know this, and understand. But, to just say - no I'm not doing it, is not following God's commands. Like saying the thief on the cross was not baptized and was saved, so I will do the same, does not honor God's command that we be baptized, and it is a mockery.

Jesus instructed his apostles to go out into the world and baptize:

Matthew 28:19 Context

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

If we believe in what Jesus states in this scripture, and much other scripture, yes we must be baptized.

Read and believe.

Sin doesn't wave a banner in our faces and proclaim itself with flashing neon lights and a marching band . If it did it would b very easy for us to spot it and avoid it . The serpent was a subtile creature , it mixes the truth and a lie and slides up to us gently . It's a seducer . It creeps into our thoughts and words and then justifies itself to us and lulls us into thinking we r not doing anything that's too bad . It doesn't matter if we....and then one step down leads to another step down . Before we know it we r sitting in the dark by ourselves wondering where we went wrong . We must focus on getting the basics right . If we cant get the smallest simplest things right then we have no chance with the big important stuff. How deep in the world r we ? How do we view and speak to others ? How much do our possessions mean to us ? How much time do we spend thinking about the Bible and the words in it ? How often do we thank God for His blessings towards us ? Sin is like a slow growing vine , it slides around us slowly and gently and wraps us up in what feels like an embrace but it's really a death grip . It's a giant green anaconda and it will crush the life out of us if we don't fight it anew each day . Get the basics right and fight every day in order to not allow our own sinful inclinations to get the better of us . If we stop fighting we die.

Jesus is the New Testament Ark.

Noah worked daily on the Ark and preached to the inhabitants of the town near him; they asked him why he was building this gigantic boat in a landlocked area, that had never been rained on yet?? It misted, but didn't rain.

Only 8 people were on the Ark, when it began to rain. Everybody outside the Ark died in their sins and unbelief.

Jesus is the 2nd Ark. We must be as in John chapter 3: born again. Final judgment is coming to this earth again. 2 PETER 3:10

The world says we are experiencing Global Warming, but that's not true. The Earth is preparing for the SECOND COMING of Jesus Christ to get the people who have received Him as their LORD AND SAVIOR. He's going to take His believers to Heaven (in the blink of an eye). Millions will suddenly disappear: children too.

This has been FORETOLD of in the Bible for thousands of years! If we miss out on it, you will be OUTSIDE OF THE ARK, AND UNABLE TO GET INSIDE.

First Ark with water; Second Ark with Fire. But before the earth is cleansed by fire:

Mankind is going to destroy with their nukes, and weapons of war. The Antichrist will kill 1/3 of the population of earth. The "stars will fall" (asteroids), the water will be poisoned with radiation. People who take THE MARK of the Beast in their hand or forehead (to get food) cannot possibly get into heaven. They will die eternally.

God is going to cleanse the earth of all of mankind's scars, pollution and damage to it. He's bringing Eden back to earth.

Anything that man did to earth will be removed. Only people will live on it; who CHOSE to go with Jesus. Satan will be locked up in hell. No evil will be in New Jerusalem; or in the New Earth. Ever again.

Life is millions of choices. Choosing Jesus is the most important one. Don't chance being left behind. Matthew 24, Luke 21, 2 Timothy 3:13-17

Matthew 25:11-12

Please please listen to this preacher? Choose to go with Jesus. Pray the prayer now.

Dear Dennis;

Scripture does say that Satan is the God of this world, however, Scripture also says that all other gods are false because God alone is the only true God. Therefore, Satan does not own the earth nor have dominion over it. The earth belongs to God alone ( Job 41:11; Ps. 50:10-12)

God is ever sovereign over all creation. As the Sovereign Lord, He is the ultimate authority of all He has created, even Satan. God rules creation by His absolute power and wisdom. No other being can overrule Him nor out smart Him. Satan is allowed to be at work in the world for the times that God determined and for the eternal purposes of God.

God's sovereignty allows us to have comfort and assurance in Him as Lord And King overall beings and things He has made.

We know that evil will not triumph over God. We know that God's plans for those who love Him will be fulfilled in the best way.

God is the ruler of history,directing it to His intended outcome. Nothing happens that surprises God or catches Him off guard.

We should be so thankful and relieved knowing that God is in control of this world and the lives of all beings, including Satan. He is present In All of creation and in every situation to work out what is best according to His eternal perfect plan and redemptive purpose for creating all things. We can trust Him to be faithful to all of His promises. When God takes us to be His people He does all needed for our salvation. He fights our battles, blesses us, disciplines us, loves us, and stays with us.

God's sovereign Lordship is deeply personal. It involves each and every creature and God is great enough to rule every and all wisely , lovingly, justly, benevolently, righteously, and immutably. We can trust Him wholly. We can rest in Him. We can cast ourselves upon His mercies. All of our worries and cares can be released to Him because He reigns supreme nigh and day, 24/7 everyday as long as we are in this life and for all eternity we will be safe and secure in Him.

Noah and the Ark were a type of Christ to come a type of Sovereign Salvation... God provides the way and means of Salvation, He brings it to pass and completes it and Noah by faith believed God and was saved.... all who were not inside of the Ark perished. Just as Salvation is still by faith we look to the Lord Jesus Christ for Salvation all who deny/reject that gift will perish in eternity in hell separate from God... i hope this helps God Bless....

Why was Isaac unhappy with Esau for marrying Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite ?.

Who are the present day Philistines?.

Could you give a scripture or a little more info?

John 3

After being born again by praying to receive Jesus; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

Go to the link on the red page: Become A Believer, and work through the Bible teaching on how to become a follower of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit is your Comforter, your Helper, and Your Teacher. As you read scripture, every day, ask Him to help you to understand how it applies to you now. Start in the Gospels and head towards Revelation. Every time we read Revelation, we receive a blessing from the Lord. (Chapter 1) The book of Isaiah has many prophesies about Jesus. Before He came to earth to save His people (us). He promised_ he fulfilled each and everyone prophesy. We can have confidence that He will fulfill what has been set down and recorded.

He will draw close to YOU, if you will draw close to Him. If you sin (we all fail sometimes), read 1 John chapter 1, chapter 2:1-2, all of it truly.

1 John 3:11. We can't fellowship with sin anymore. It takes effort to cling to Jesus for our guidance. Find a BIBLE teaching Church; even if it's on the FM radio.

Coming by here is a way of fellowship. Everyone loves to share. Just always compare what you hear, with scripture.

We pray for everyone that asks for prayer. So put this site on your Google desktop. Drop in anytime! Some of us are nightowls lol

Ephesians 6 tells us who the real enemies are, to our walk with God. We all get opposed by the devils. Say what Jesus said, in the Gospels.

May the Lord bless you and keep you close to his vest, and keep you encouraged as you walk with Him.

David had like 800 wives but maybe because he sinned and slept with a married women and had her husband killed, your sins affect your children, The sins of the father our visited upon the children.

Brother Charles, My very first statement in fact does state that during CHRIST JESUS's crucifixion, HE did bleed HIS own blood and HE did die for our sins. My point disagrees with many who erroneously believe CHRIST dipped HIS vesture in HIS own blood which HE shed on Calvary's cross. This is their interpretation of the expression, "HE (LORD JESUS) was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood" ( Rev. 19:13).

This blood on HIS vesture is not HIS own, but rather that of HIS enemies of whom HE slays (v.15).

CHRIST shed HIS blood to save HIS people. HE did so during HIS crucifixion. But the context of Revelation Nineteen is not a context of vicarious sacrifice, but rather of war ( Rev. 19:11), bloodshed (cp. Rev. 14:20), and death ( Rev. 19:15 & 21).

Does the Bible mention about the planets rotate around the sun?

Hey Jerry Donald Stoller,

I am sure many may disagree, but I have not found any scripture that says outright we will be taken, or we will go to heaven. Many uses 1 Thessalonians 4:17 as the church meets Jesus in the air and are taken to heaven, but this verse does not say where we go after we meet Jesus in the air.

Psalms 115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

Revelation 21:1-3 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

The saved eternal life will be as from the beginning, on earth, but it will be made new.

God bless,

RLW

I don't think it does, Matt 16:2He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

3And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times. Rev Talks about the moon be darken or maybe it's the sun'

The sun doesn't rotate around the earth at an exact 24 hrs that's why they have a leap year but who knows if it corrects it exactly or not so over time the season could change. I do remember something about the seasons tho maybe in Thessalonians 1 or 2

The Bible the entire bible, Isaiah 58, but obeying and doing what God's word says to do James 5:14

"Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:" Now finding a true righteous elder is the thing.

1 Peter 2:20

"For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God."

2 Timothy 3:12

"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."

Romans 8:17

"And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."

Philippians 1:29

"For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;"

King James Version (KJV)

1 Corinthians

Chapter 12

1Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

2Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

3Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

4Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

5And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

6And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

7But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

8For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

9To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

10To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

11But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

You don't bless the wicked or evil and defiantly you don't except it or welcome it as a matter of fact you're not supposed to be around them or associate with them. Today we go to church together. The church and it's people have gone astray, we are the world hybrid believers now, we say God and live worldly 2John1:10If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

11For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. [Don't bless the wicked!] This evil world wants us to hold hands and say they are good. Woe to him that calls evil good and good evil. why? you open yourself up to be possessed by it.

Hi Sister Donna,

Jesus tells us in scripture below that God made the sabbath for man:

Mark 2:27

"And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:"

Jesus doesn't say the sabbath was made just for the Jews, or for just Israel. The scripture is plain - the sabbath was made for man!

Man can say anything to bend and twist the bible scripture. People ignore and twist bible scripture regularly - to fit their worldly lifestyles.

Read the bible scripture for yourself and believe it!

God Bless.

Oops.should say commandment #4. Wish there was an edit button. Here and in life lol.

Do you need Baptized in water after the Holy Ghost came the Bible says one baptism, guy you are opening a can of worms here there are more opinions on it then churches. The thief on the cross wasn't baptized and Jesus said to him, today I shall see you in paradise. But it's good to be baptized for the remission of sin and if you study it being fully submersed symbolizes being buried with Christ and rising with Christ and being a new creature. Use the search box type baptism, baptized and read it and study it 2 Corith 13:12 study to show thyself approved...............

Jesus Christ says it very clearly, Ye are of your father the devil!!!!!

With everything going on in the world, He already new what was in their minds, hearts, and souls!!!

You went against His words and the Fathers!!!!!

There is plenty of room for all that worship satan, have fun in darkness, because that is what the Lord

says in His word!!!

BYE BYE!!!!!!

Exodus

Chapter 26, it was like the temple but made of a tent

On Earth now whether you end up in Jerusalem or not depends, you may be outside the gates. All these brain-e-acts who know everything about revelations neglect the most important parts. Paul spoke of earning crown and jewels that go on them and Jesus spoke of being found with just the one talent we were given because we never served God or preached the gospel, buried or heads in the sand. We are servants of O Mighty God of our Lord Jesus Christ and we act like we serve the world. You really need to just read it over and over until you can hear it. Yes, God and Jesus will rein on earth in God's Temple in Jerusalem in God's sanctuary the holy of holies and there will be no sun for they shall be our light. The tree of life who leaves will be to heal the nations. I tell you there is more to it then just believing it's after we believe will be judge by. Read it like your life depends on it because it does.

God is sooo good

Hi Dennis.

Good question. Now we do know who this world belongs to. But Satan is the god of this age. 2 Corinthians 4:4.

Don't let that shake you, Jesus said himself he's not of this word. John 8:23. John 18:36.

Satan rules over the flesh, We have no answer for this and no hope apart from the holyspirit which we receive when we are born again. "Born from above"

God bless.

We can overcome all hardships in our life with faith! When we are weak he is strong! The Joy of the Lord is our strength! Pray without ceasing, Love all even your enemies and Love and have a fear only for the Lord. No weapons formed against us shall prosper! Believe on the Lord Yehsua Hamashiach (Jesus) and be saved!

Brother Jesse.

Thank you again for this very important info, It makes a huge difference when studying in this area.

When you start there with that information and do the homework as you suggested it changes all perspectives.

Your efforts is appreciated and not wasted.

God bless.

1 Cor 12 is the chapter you need to read concerning spiritual gifts. The Book of Acts records the acts of the disciples in obedience to Jesus great commission to go into all the world carrying the message of repentence, baptism in His Name and the receiving of the Holy Ghost they had experienced. I cannot give you all you need to know in this format, but Jesus said, "If you seek, you shall find." First, repent, be baptized into the new covenant , in Jesus Name, then you shall receive the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. Acts 2:38 This is the new birth and essential to be a disciple of Jesus and do what the original disciples did. Be careful that you believe God's Word and not allow, as Eve, the voice of the deceiver, satan to cause you to question God's Word, for the Word of God will be the judge of our lives, whether we have obeyed it. Rev. 19:11-21. The very fact that you are seeking understanding is a sign that the Spirit of God wants to lead you into all that Jesus died to give humanity. Except the Spirit of God draws man to Him, they cannot be saved from His wrath and many have hardened their hearts and are refusing to believe that God is the only God, who made a fleshly body for Himself and lived, taught, suffered Calvary, was buried and rose again to leave us the example and the plan of redemption from our state of sin into which all are born. God chooses to use people to speak His words because He is God and we must obey Him even though we will never understand His ways, nor His thoughts, for that is why we must know Him, love Him and trust Him in faith that He will do what His Word has said. Luke 4:4 Jesus said,"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God." Jesus is the answer to all your questions, so seek Him and His presence and study His Word, for He is the Word made flesh.

I will pray that God lead you into greater revelation of Him and the relationship He desires to have with humanity.

In Jesus Name.

Is Heaven our final home, or is the New Jerusalem our final home?
