A word of caution: there are Cults that teach something called Old Earth Theory. It was used to explain archeology, geology, space exploration, ancient religions, dinosaurs, really old human bones.
Although some of these things are alluded to; does not mean a separate book was included in the Bible, or Canonized. God did not Authorize "old earth theory". There is the danger of heresy. Avoid that.
The entire Bible IS ABOUT Jesus Christ. He's practically on every page. If you miss that reality, then you can be drawn away by the Lust for self-importance. (Pride). Ego and arrogance.
The way to deep study the Bible is to get a Study Bible with a CENTER of Each Page Reference Bible. The abc's imbedded in a scripture correspond to a letter in the Center column. You have to stop where you are and go read all of those notes. Those notes will lead you to even more expanded teaching. Ya gotta make notebooks full of notes: how you got from "here", to "there", and everything in between. Skip it. Go buy some Grant Jeffreys books.
This is why I do not engage in Genesis arguments. Question is: how deep is your relationship to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit? What is your personal knowledge of, the Knowledge of the Holy? (That's a scripture)
I think, given this TIME in history [His-Story], we should concentrate on the prophesy of Daniel 12:5-13.
WE are the generation that will know what that Chapter has hidden for a very long time. They're coming unsealed. Life and goings on, all over this planet are being unsealed.
Don't get distracted now. Who stands to benefit with us being distracted and led away on fake mystery hunts? Satan.
Be relevant to the signs of the Times. Matthew 24:34, Matthew 25:35
How good are you at reading signs?
Type SIGNS in the Search Box and prepare to be amazed!

He was on the ground, nailed to the cross, face pointed at the clouds.
Don't yell at me thank u very much :)
"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
Reading this verse makes me think that the tree of knowledge of good and evil did not bear seed.
27 And as it is appointed unto men ONCE TO DIE, but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto THEM that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
> People that have passed on, are in their graves or were dispersed on the wind; hidden in deep waters. It is no problem for Jesus to fetch all of them during the Rapture.
The deceased Believers in Jesus will be
raised up first; and reunited with their born again resurrected spirits in the clouds; which are safe in heaven presently. In the blink of an eye. They will be complete in those resurrection bodies.
Their graves will be left open as a witness to those left behind on earth, that they are with God now.
Next, those born again Living believers will meet Jesus in the clouds and receive their resurrection bodies. Jesus will remove all the saints to heaven, to attend the Marriage Supper of the Bride of Christ (us) and the Bridegroom (Jesus). It's a celebration of our Covenant and future life together.
If we still have loved ones NOW that are procrastinating about escaping what is coming to the earth at that time...now is a perfect time to Evangelize them: get on your knees and pray for them every day. Break that spirit of procrastination, in Jesus Name! Ask the Lord to loose a sense of urgency into them.
All of this is in the New Testament and you need to begin reading chapters (plural) of Scripture to find them yourself so You Know what is going to happen next. Tell others who are perishing around you.
Everybody quit hoping another Billy Graham to be raised up to do it for us. It ain't happening! God wants us to do it. This is the generation of the Book of Daniel. It's us!!! Get over Bashfulness and open with an open statement: how about that Jesus Christ?! The Bible says he's coming back real soon!! Let's pray.
May the Holy Spirit dunk us in boldness!
Mishael
My question is; I was taught that when we die, someone is coming to get us. The saved will be escorted to heaven and all others, worse. And so - if this is the case, why would the earth be opened and those dead in Christ rise and meet the living in the air? And I assume the living refers to the spirits of those saved during the Rapture. They, in the ground, already have died and their souls dealt with at that time of death. They would have received their glorified bodies at the time of judgement. I never understood this meeting in the air with those previously dealt with by heaven when they died. The purpose of it all eludes me. Their bodies would be dust and the spirits long gone to heaven and judgement.
Simple question. Thats it. Thanks
The Holy Spirit is invisible.
King James Bible
Hebrews 12:29
For our God is a consuming fire.
Deuteronomy 4:24
For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John 15:26
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. Three persons: all are one God.
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
Maybe you'd like to add a KJV Bible to your bookcase?
Blessings, Mishael
The Son is the Word of God, speaks it
The Holy Spirit performs the the spoken Word of God
When we speak the Word of God over an issue or condition in our lives; according to the Known Will of God (the Bible, OT and NT); the Holy Spirit moves to accomplish it.
All three are one; not Separated.
Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7
1 John 5:7, John 10:30
Acts 17:27-30
Isaiah 6:8
Romans 1:20
Colossians 2:9
They speak amongst themselves.
Write these scriptures on the inside cover of your Bible now. This subject comes up often. The scriptures are plain enough to be understood.
Debates and arguing theologies according to varying opinions cause confusion. Acts 17 should dispel that.
Mishael
However, the act may not be a sin, but within some situations it might lead to sin or at least seriously affect another person's life or future by sending the wrong message. When two people are committed to each other even to the point of planning for a life together, then a display of emotion & intimacy to that level, would be acceptable. In some countries, that of course would be out of the question, as minimal contact, if any at all, would be allowed until after the wedding day.
There is the other aspect of Christians greeting each other with a 'holy kiss' ( 2 Corinthians 13:12). And this simply means a 'loving embrace or warm handshake' as appropriate, signifying our family-ness in the Lord & joy in seeing one another. There is no suggestion of anything more than this.
