Discuss Genesis 1 Page 43

( Ezekiel 38:4) Esau, Gog, The king of the north, the beast = Russia.

4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: (Israel invaded at sixth trumpet)

Armageddon is not a battle ground, it is a gathering place for the beasts fractured army. When they see transfigured Jesus Messiah on Mount Zion, the reunited beast army will come down to their deaths.

But you judge and call it a more refined name.

Hi Misheal

i do not understand how Genesis one, link with the great tribulation. Please clarify

One is the beginning and the latter is the end (last battle, which started in heaven)

Misheal,

You have a misunderstanding of what "the day of the Lord" is. It is not a joyous occasion, but the opposite. It is a one hour long battle, at the sixth trumpet, second woe. War. It is judgment day for the people of earth, leaders, bringing forth great tribulation. Read what really happens that day: Isaiah 13, Isaiah 21:1-9, Isaiah 24, Isaiah 47, Ezekiel 21:1-24, Ezekiel 38:1-17, Jeremiah 50/51, Joel 2:1-11, Revelation 17/18 & Luke 21:20-24 (Israel's fall).

Please tell me you understand what that term means.

The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

Isaiah 6:8

Romans 1:20

Colossians 2:9

Acts 17:27-30

1 John 5:7

John 10:30

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made (us), even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"

Father Purposes

Jesus speaks the Word

The Holy Spirit (action) accomplishes it

If you are born again, the Holy Spirit seals you; He is the Spirit of Jesus Christ. He indwells you. Comforts you. He is your Teacher. He anoints you to understand scripture. He is your Helper. He is gentle, and kind. He reveals Jesus to you.

Amen means, So Be It.

What was written in the Bible, the writer was saying: as it is written...so be it.

Ana, may CHRIST IN US (Spirit of God) grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

Genesis 1:2 ... And the (Holy) Spirit of God moved upon the waters.

Genesis 1:1 In the BEGINNING God (the Spirit) created heaven and earth.

The SPIRIT (of GOD) is the only ONE (LIFE) that is eternal; no beginning and no end.

We are GIFTED (GRACED) through the WORKS of CHRIST (Spirit of GOD) with this same GIFT (no end to life); GIFTED to those that believe in the THE WORKS OF GOD (SPIRIT).

Psalms 102:18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which SHALL BE CREATED (in the likeness of Christ; LIFE and BODY)(FULLNESS of GOD) shall praise the LORD.

what does it mean heart of worship. Father worshippers shall worship on spirit and truth.

Looks like you're working hard to discredit Jesus's divinity.

John 1:1 THE WORD WAS GOD. = JESUS CHRIST IS GOD.

John 20:28 - "And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God."

Thomas called Jesus Christ "God."

Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let US make.."

"us" plural. If not Jesus Christ, who else? Do you believe in a different trinity or other Gods that don't include Jesus?

John 1:2

"The same was in the beginning with God."

Jesus was there in the beginning.

John 1:3

"All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."

That 100% clears it up. Jesus WAS there from the beginning, with God, and WAS God. Not God the Father, but God the Son.

Have you prayed to God and asked Him if what you believe is true and if going to Bible forums and trying to discredit Jesus is ok?

Did you not read John 1? Is your motive to gain understanding of a different perspective or to just stick with what you want to believe?

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

"the Word was God."

The Bible is 100% clear that "the Word was God"- do you agree? It says it in John 1:1 verbatim.

Who is the Word? If you keep reading it answers that in 100% clear language

John 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

The "Word" was made flesh and dwelt among us (people).

Verse 15 says John (the Baptist) bore witness to Him. This narrows it down so much there is absolutely no one else this could possibly be but Jesus Christ. It would take serious mental gymnastics to make it mean anyone else, but Jesus Christ.

So, let's review. John 1:1 In the beginning was (Jesus Christ), and the (Jesus Christ) was with God, and the (Jesus Christ) was God.

All of this we get from John 1, the scripture I already provided which you seemed to have missed.

But there's much more than one verse that says Jesus is God. When it says God, it doesn't mean God the Father though, but God the Son. And Jesus is Lord and as well as other terms used in reverence. Just because people have a hard time comprehending the "three are one" doesn't mean they need to try to rewrite the Bible to mean something entirely different. It's already correct exactly as it says. That's part of being a Christian and having faith.

1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let US make man in our image"

John 11:6-7 "And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let US go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."

John 10:30 "I and my Father are one."

John 8:19 "if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also."

Do you believe these Bible verses?

Hi Joetta.

No I don't think you will find that in scripture,

Is it wrong the mixed race in marriage ? If so where I can find it the Bible

Why would you not fully cling to Him? Study the Word. Ask questions. Sit quietly in His presence until He Reveals the Word to you. Why do you not sing praises to God, through Him?

Drink the milk of His Word, and seek the Meat of the Word. Taste and see the Goodness of the Lord.

Try to comprehend what is right in front of you. Pursue Him with all of your strength.

This age we are living in is going to close out. Are you going to go with Him?

The born again are not of This World. We are aliens. We look for the Completion of the Bible.

Some day soon, Father God is going to STAND UP. Jesus will come in the Clouds, for His Church.

At that time, the Holy Spirits presence will not be as near as He is now.

How does splitting Bible amongst ourselves Help the Unbelieving have enough knowledge and faith, to take hold of God with that faith and believe Jesus is Who His Word says He is?

Pray to the LORD of the Harvest. Then go out and work in the Harvest. Ask the Lord to set up Divine Appointments. Go ye.

Do you love me? Feed My Sheep. Carry My lambs. Ask yourself, What Time is it?

Mishael

I just wanted to share a testimony. Over the past 13 years we have been struggling with health and finances. I became very ill in 2008, with life threatening autoimmune disease. My husband had to stop working so he could take care of me and our son. We lost our health insurance and everything we owned. It was a hard time for us, I have a picture of Jesus that I ve know has been around since I can remember. I stood in front of the picture and Jesus why he had left me, well he says to me, I haven't left you.. you left me. I realize I was trying to control my situation so I put it all in Gods hands. Yes we still went through so much, but praise God things are changing we are getting a new home, money to take care of our family and bills. To anyone who may read this, PLEASE ALWAYS KEEP YOUR EYES ON GOD AND ALWAYS KNOW HE IS WITH YOU AND WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU

IF YOU HAVENT EXCEPTED HIM INTO YOUR HEART PLEASE DONT WAIT ANY LONGER.

We can't make it in this world without him

something else. Wool is not wool till it is spun.....your interpretation of this verse is way of the mark.

If you already formed your opinion then why did you post your question pretending to be a real question? If this is about making some kind of public statement this is the wrong place for that. Jesus was a middle eastern Jew who walked a lot in the sun, so He was the same skin color as middle eastern Jews are today. If someone is trying to make Jesus into a certain skin color to earn fictional points for their own 'team' that is racism and that is wrong.

In this verse John describes Jesus as having hair like white wool and snow. The prophet Daniel wrote that he saw the Ancient of Days, describing Him as having hair that resembled wool ( Daniel 7:9). Seen as having such a resemblance to God the Father, Jesus is eternal. His white hair suggests He is wise, experienced, dignified, authoritative, pure, and glorious.

No it is not honey

Alysha,

You have been given some very good comments on this. I pray you look past what "skin color" Jesus Christ was and just focus on His Word. The Lord searches hearts.

Just to be clear also you state "the furnace is like a chimney" and liken it to a charred pizza. The Greek word used for burned is "pepyrmens". Basically meaning "fiery or to glow". Not charred. Glowing with Glory.

You can believe what you want but I pray you keep your focus on things above. Not of this world.

God Bless.

A Genesis Explanation

It's all over the Bible, in different places: search the words: 'upside down'. However it has NOTHING to do with "Old Earth Theory" about creation. That's a cult.

The Bible which is a record of ONE person: Jesus; the Word of God. Genesis to Revelation leads up to the end of this age. 2 Peter: earth will burn up.

What scientists have long sought to explain=

TIME, FORCE, ACTION, MATTER: explained in Genesis 1:1. How did it happen and WHO did it? The Godhead: the Father, the Word of God, the Spirit.

The First thing God created, was TIME. "In Beginning". John 1:2-5, Hebrews 1:1-16. Time began to tick for Creation and Man. For seasons and times.

God Wills it

The Son ( Hebrews 1:5), The Word, speaks it

The Holy Spirit performs it.

Mishael: this is enough to get you on track with what happened in Genesis the first day. Get a KJV study Bible that has Center Column references to further explanation (has tiny abc's imbedded in the scriptures). You don't need secular books to read this and understand better.

We know the earth itself is billions of years old. All sciences have evidence. Carbon dating.

Genesis 1:1 shows God creating TIME, first. It was created for mankind.

Maybe your daughter will become a great evangelist amongst the scientific communities? It was recently published that all planets had water on them. It was proven that the position of earth allowed perfection for life. Who did that?

Water on the other planets disappeared. Only Earth has the water needed for life.

Or she may study a named asteroid (star), WORMWOOD (named in the Bible), that is going to hit earth and turn water to be bitter and poisonous. (Book of Revelation) Until recently there were many pictures of Wormwood. Now I think NASA has taken them down to avoid mass hysteria, but they are still tracking it.

Mishael

Romans 1 shows us that just by creation, the world, and what is in it: God has clearly shown us that He made it, and us

He used DUST to make man. Dust under a microscope has ALL colors. God likes colors. Every color of the spectrum (colors plus black and white). God Himself is Spirit. The Holy Spirit is Spirit. Jesus's mother was a resident of The mid-east. Jesus's skin color was from his mom. He was not born with white hair.

The Revelation scripture is the Glorious, Resurrected, Triumphant, ready for Battle, Jesus The son of God.

Even Solomon had 700 wives, 300 concubines; different cultures, religions, colors, hair types.

Our only prohibitions from Heaven are: Do Not inter-marry with Unbelievers! To do so, brings much grief and idolatry into our relationship and offspring.

Clearly in Genesis where God was giving Adam his orders: Mankind had Dominion over everything EXCEPT Other Mankind.

It was MAN that took dominion over what they deemed, lesser mankind. God DID NOT authorize that. The story of Nimrod and the Tower of Babel clearly demonstrates the human perversion of what God said concerning dominion.

God introduced different languages, and people dispersed to their own cultures where they could speak their own language. The rich and powerful still took dominion over the working class people. It continues to this day.

There will be no justice until this earth passes away as prophesied; and the New Heaven and New Earth is established by God. Without satans presence, we will all see what God intended for us: IN THE BEGINNING.

I think God still prefers different colors in creation and mankind. Don't you? I know I do. I like variety!! I think nutty buddy ice cream is the Tops, but other people like popsicles and frozen yogurt. Gee whiz...can't we just be happy with what we got? WE KNOW that GOD is going to make ALL THINGS NEW. Everybody's Life Matters to God. Choose Jesus now. Rest in GOD and TRUST HIM.

Mishael

This thread has the potential to go bad.

ALYSHA.

His hair, AND HIS HEAD" was white.

AND HE HAD A TONGUE FOR A TWO EDGE SWORD!!!!

THIS IS """THE REVELATION""" OF JESUS CHRIST AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER 65 BOOKS. ITS THE CONCLUSION.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, THE ALMIGHTY.

It's a shame you reduce him to a man.

with a fork tongue. After reading these 66 books that tells you what these symbols mean.

Revelation 1:14, 16. His ""HEAD" and his hairs were

"WHITE like wool, as"""""" WHITE AS SNOW; """"""""

and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

And he had in his right hand seven stars:

( AND OUT OF HIS MOUTH WENT A SHARP TWOEDGED SWORD""""""""": )

and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

The Jesus described in Revelation 1:14-15 is transfigured Jesus in His glory!!!

Revelation 1 - 14 - 15

'' his head and hair as white like wool , as white as snow '' .

don't look at the colour , look at the texture . WOOL ! , wooly hair , curly hair , nappy hair , Afro hair .

if you look today , most people with that hair are ? , so called black people & islanders right ?

'' And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace '' .

Brass is the colour of a gold coin & the furnace is like a chimney .

if you put a pizza in the furnace and bring it out half time what colour is it ? golden-ish Brown-ish right & if you leave the pizza in the furnace overtime and bring it out afterwards , what colour is it then ? Black !

So what does this tell you ? because from reading , researching and connecting the dots it told me he is a dark skin man with very wooly hair & not a white man with straight hair and brown eyes , like they say today .

Thanks Brother Earl.

God Bless.

Brother S Spencer; not much anyone can add, when answers are correct.

GBU

Alyssa.

This description we have of the Lord in Revelation 1:14-16 is a picture of him in his Glory. Not the way he walked down hear on earth!!

Let's visit the text.

Revelation 1:14-16. His head and his hairs were "WHITE" like wool, as "WHITE" as "SNOW";

( the emphasis here is the color of his hair not texture! It speaks of ETERNITY, ANCIENT OF DAYS. )

as you see here in

Daniel 7:9. I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the ANCIENT OF DAYS did sit, WHOSE GARMENT WAS WHITE AS SNOW, and the hair of His Head like the pure wool:

and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

( His judgment is righteous, nothing hidden. )

as you see here in

Hebrews 4:13. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace;

( Brass is a material that could withstand heat, fire speaks of judgment )

( HE'S PURE ) " NO INIQUITY FOUND IN HIM "

and his voice as the sound of many waters.

And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

and the two edged sword.

Hebrews 4:12. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

THIS IS GOD! not a black man or a white man, or any other. HE'S THE GLORIFIED CHRIST JUDGING HIS CHURCH!!

I'm sure others can add more revelation to this.

God bless.

Hi Donna,

The Bible doesn't contradict itself.

Sometimes people assume that something they don't understand is contradictory.

World populated by two people. Genesis 1:28. First, God made special provisions for Adam & Even and family as they were first. Of course it was not a sin to reproduce among their family, but the opposite might have been sin since God commanded them to reproduce. Just because at an unknown time after God made it a sin to commit incest doesn't mean that applied to Adam and Eve. People also accused Adam and Eve of having premarital sex, but obviously that moral law wasn't enacted yet and was obvious that Adam and Eve had no one else other than God to proclaim they were married.

Secondly, some believe God created more people either at the same time or slightly later than Adam and Eve, because of the reference to the land of Nod. If there was a land there, it sounded like a region populated by people and if so how did they get there. God probably had something to do with that. Not every detail is 100% described in the Bible. In Genesis 1-2 a lot happens and it can't possibly cover everything. So, it shouldn't be a surprise that one won't have 100% of the answers.

Made in God's image: yes, God is a spirit and we are both physical and spiritual beings. God can also be a physical being too- as indicated when he wrestled with Jacob, etc. Made in God's image doesn't automatically mean physical. It could be spiritual, or emotional, or other characteristics we have that are unique to us and not in other animals.

based off what the bible tells us / says ( Revelation -1: 14-15 ) What colour do you think The most high is ?
