Day 6 - man
LORD God didn't plant a garden until AFTER he formed Adam. He hadn't made it rain because there wasn't a man to till the ground, but water came up from the earth. So, he formed Adam & planted a garden. God didn't wait until there was a man to till the ground, but that's exactly what LORD God had planned to do.
and hit the arrow, you can sort the list if you desire.
It will expand your view. From Old Testament to New Testament.
The Search Engine will pull up all the verses in the whole Bible with CREATED in it. This includes Old and New Testament.
You will have a complete picture of Creation. Also, how it is explained in real time and future time; and everything in between.
In Genesis, Highlight all the places where it says What Day God blessed when He was Done. [ first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh. You will see the before, during, and after motions.
For some reason New Christians will start out in Book 1, chapter 1 and be disappointed by Day 7 of Creation.
All of us should start in the Gospels, then Acts, the writings of Paul and other Disciples of Jesus. For a blessing: the Book of Revelation.
Proverbs for Wisdom; Psalms for Comfort and Prayers of all kinds. The Prophets to understand past connected to future.
We're not trying to discourage you. We're trying to help you find what you are looking for.
John 3 Jesus shows Nicodemas that we all MUST BE BORN AGAIN, to see the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus baptizes us with THE HOLY SPIRIT, who is our Teacher on this earth. He reveals Jesus do we can understand.
We can chit chat all day long, but it is the Holy Spirit that reveals Jesus, and our Father, God. All of John 3, reveals who Jesus is to us; believers.
We're just being helpful, trying to. :)
The order isn't contradictory. Is it possible you are intepreting it in a certain way where you perceive it to be contradictory? Because it's not contradictory when I read it, nor has it ever been.
You wrote: "it's not the validity of the Bible I dispute, but the interpretation of it."
I can only guess as to why would choose to interpret it a certain way that doesn't seem to line up. I know from past experience others made assumptions about how information is presented. For example, it's common in books to have a summary or thesis statement in the beginning then go into detail and explain it thereafter. Let's say you told me you were in a car wreck then said someone side swiped you. Then I respond by saying "What?! You were in 2 wrecks? You were in a car wreck THEN were side swiped, that's hard to believe. Be honest, were you in 1 or 2 wrecks?"
Is it possible that when you read in the begining God created the heavens and earth, etc that you didn't interpret that as a summary statement, but an event that happened and ended, then when it says God created Adam, that you assumed it was at a different time and not simply the same event explained in more detail?
God bless...
The Bible does not contradict itself; the traditions of men do. When we read with all those preconceived ideas and traditions, we cannot hear the Holy Spirit of truth. I am sure the word just popped out telling you this does not match. Jesus busted the Pharisees, ( Mark 7:4-9), traditions are of man. The tradition of Adam and Eve being the first humans is a tradition.
I am not of the group of a world before this one and it was destroyed, but you are correct the six days do not line up with the second chapter with Adam and Eve. The purpose of Adam is what gets lost, was it to start humankind or the start of the plan of our salvation, being the first Adam and Jesus the last Adam to undo the works of Satan. Due to the flood, we are all descendants of Adam.
Things to look at, the word earth, h-'-re #776 meaning earth, land, countries. And field, the word field ( ha--eh). Strongs #7704 meaning; field, land, agriculture. All the plants in day three were self-producing no cultivation needed. Second chapter it had not rained because there was not a man to till the ground. These were plants of the field, you must plant and till a garden or it will not grow, (husbandry).
The animals in chapter two were of the field (domesticated), the fowls were out of the ground (domesticated) not out of the water as day five. This clearly is another creation and one would have to deny or ignore what scripture clearly says to fit a tradition.
Man, male and female in day six were told be fruitful, multiply and replenish (to fill) the earth, subdue it and have dominion over all thee earth that God had created. Adam and Eve were in the garden, could they do what was told man in day six? No. If we say it was after they were cast out of the garden could God say at the end of day six all was very good? No. Adam and Eve sinned and they did not multiply until they were cast out of the garden.
I know this is not a lot of info but may it help.

Some passages are easier to study if you have a KJV Bible WITH CENTER OF EACH PAGE, REFERENCE COLUMNS. It has the tiny alphabet letters that references From a scripture to additional information, or to a prophesy. Sometimes the prophesies point to New Testament confirmations that a prophesy was fulfilled. So paper and pen are needed for deeper studying.
This website has a really good Search Engine. You put in words you recall that's in a scripture you're searching for, and it will go fetch anything with that word in King James Version.
Example: People will put in 'Rapture', but the KJV calls it 'Caught Up'.
The best thing I learned was you can't speed read through the Bible. You learn a lot from who is in a Geneology. Often the daughters are not recorded; but the ones that are mentioned are probably in a story elsewhere. That's why the Reference Bible I mentioned is helpful. You have to be sure your are ordering CENTER OF EACH PAGE REFERENCE COLUMN.
That's how I found out that Judas was in a prophesy in Psalms, that he would betray Jesus which means it was recorded hundreds of years before it happened.
There are charts in Google of Just Old Testament Prophesies with the dates of fulfillment. Same for the New Testament. You might want to save those to Reading List or google desktop for easy access.
Occasionally I find really good condition Reference Bibles at Goodwill. I found a brand new smelling Strongs Complete Concordance :D
Also, why were the plants created BEFORE man in Gen.1, but in Gen. 2 it was AFTER Adam had been created?
By the way, it's not the validity of the Bible I dispute, but the interpretation of it. Most people say God & LORD God are the same being, but how can that be when the order in which they created things is contradictory?
Thank you.
113. JESUS CHRIST is Called "My God" ( John 20:28). Since there is "no other God" ( Isaiah 45:5) ( Isaiah 45:21-22), This Plainly And Clearly Declares, According To The Word Of Truth, That JESUS CHRIST is That God.
Your Excellent statement: "We can note how Jesus never rebuked Thomas for exclaiming, "My Lord and my God," can Certainly be connected With Confirming Scriptures, about "rebuking worship," {# 9 on my Previous list...}:
"And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." ( Revelation 19:10)
"And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. ( Revelation 22:8-9)
May you and all who "believe God's Word Of Truth," Please Be Richly Encouraged and Edified, waiting for our Great God And Saviour, JESUS CHRIST! ( Titus 2:13)
brother Chris Endrizzi
For life-long "studying" I recommend starting With: "What God Is Doing Today, Under GRACE, And Specifically WHO HE IS, And HIS Salvation For us," found in Romans Through Philemon, KJV, prayerfully And Carefully, and study According To The Following Bible "study" Rules: ( 1 Corinthians 14:40) ( 2 Timothy 2:15) ( Deuteronomy 4:2) ( Deuteronomy 12:32) ( Proverbs 30:5-6) ( Revelation 22:18-19 KJB!) ( Acts 17:11) ( Isaiah 28:10) ( 2 Timothy 3:16-17) ( 2 Timothy 3:16-17) ( 1 Corinthians 2:13)
The Best "Interpretive" Commentary On The Bible Is The BIBLE Itself!:
NEVER ever interpret The Many Plain Scriptures by the "few" difficult verses, But, ALWAYS Always Interpret the few Obscure/Difficult/Dubious verses By ALL Of The MANY Plain and Clear Passages Of God's Pure And Holy Word!
Finally:
"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do ALL to The Glory Of God!" ( 1 Corinthians 10:31)
Naresh, hope this helps on your reading/studying journey, and saves you from a lot of Confusion of the enemy...
I believe all these new bibles that are being put out in these last days are of the devil because he knows the scriptures too. Why do you think we have this plague on us right now.
19
These new ones will cause confusion in the body of Christ. We know who the author of confusion is. (the devil) He came in with changing the thee and thou and this is how he comes in just a little at the time. Give him an inch he will become your ruler.
You are dangerously close to becoming a candidate for what's written in
Revelation 20:12-13
Revelation 22:18-20
John 21:31
Galatians 1:8-9
2 Corinthians 11:13-15
THE APOCRYPHA IS NOT PART OF THE CANONIZED BIBLE.
Read Ezekiel chapter 2,
Then Ezekiel 3:17-27
These scriptures are a warning from God. Is this relevant in the year 2021. from someone who was pulled out of the snake pit of hell; so be wise and don't go near writings that aren't in the Bible.
Astrology is not even a science. It's a religion. The only sign that Christians have, is the BLOOD OF JESUS. Same goes for Apocrypha.
Please, please, may we all quit dabbling in and around the evil that inhabits these things...so as to give a comment on them.
There are many more people WHO WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH. They need to be saved. They've heard Jesus knocking on the door of their hearts. The Harvest is here, now.
Even for us Christians, we need to read those Ezekiel verses. This is going to come up at the BEMA seat judgment of Christ. Rewards or no rewards. Everything we do has to pass through the fire.
I have a question for us all. How do you think world governments are going to pay for all this destruction and disasters in the great nations of the world? Billions and Trillions of dollars?
The one world system of money is advancing.
* The white horse of the Apocalypse represents religious deception; money system
* The red horse of the Apocalypse represents wars.
* The black horse of the Apocalypse represents famines.
* The pale horse of the Apocalypse represents pestilence (disease epidemics and pandemics) and Disasters and death.
As one who was delivered from evil I had done; That Person died. I woke up a brand new child of the Living God. The old person passed away. I put my life into Gods hands. I Choose to Follow Jesus and the Bible every day.
IT TOOK ME AN ENTIRE DAY TO RID MY HOME OF ALL OCCULT MATERIAL. Worth thousands of dollars and I burned all of it. I stirred it and made sure it was destroyed. I dedicated the act to God. "I do this for You. I worship You. I choose You, to be my Father." Acts 19:19. The Holy Spirit undertook my babyhood in Jesus. He has been my only TEACHER. My Comforter. My Beloved.
You cannot STRADDLE THE FENCE, between loving Jesus, and loving the World. To even read books of things that were mentioned in this comment room today; is an ABOMINATION.
You must CHOOSE today whom you will serve. You cannot have Both. Do you want to see God? Read Isaiah 6: 1-9
I will not read mans writings of satan and his numerous lies, deceptions, false religions, books people wrote in order to enrich their bank accounts. Book of Enoch is NOT in the Bible!
If you want to know about Satan and his demons, principalities and powers: memorize Isaiah 14. Count how many times Satan boasts, I WILL...
What does Satan look like? Isaiah 14:11
He will steal and pollute your mind, seduce you with lies. Before you know your house will be covered in occult books (which are inhabited by demons)..and the Bible will be covered in Dust.
There is no glory in being an expert on demonology. In cursing innocent children's walk with God; You fall from heaven like Lucifer did. There was no ceremony. Michael the archangel hurled Satan to the earth like a sack of potatoes; and the demons followed in like manner.
Buy this: JESUS WINS THE BATTLE.
Revelation 22:12-16
Mishael
Amen! "Even so, come, Lord Jesus." ( Revelation 22:20).
I believe you gave us a view of the trinity. Gen. 1:1.In the beginning "El-o-heem'" created the heaven and the earth.
Gen 1:2.And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the "SPIRIT OF GOD moved upon the face of the waters.
Gen 1:3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Now I'm not sure if you're saying Jesus was created in verse 3 or not but we are sure it's not so according to these verses.
( ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM; and without him was not any thing made that was made.)
In him was life; AND THE "LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN."
Colossians 1:16-17. For by him were all things created, that are in HEAVEN, and that are in earth, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, whether they be THROWNS, or DOMINIONS, or PRINCIPALITIES, or POWERS: (all things were created by him, and for him:)
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
"Point here is we see Angels created here as well!!
And in Job 38:4-7. The Angels shouted for joy when Jesus created the Earth.
"Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
John 17:5. And now, O Father, glorify thou me WITH THINE OWN SELF with the glory which I had with thee BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.
Now we know he didn't come in the 4th Day!
Gen 1:16. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. THE SUN. "Also created!" You see a contrast of that light and the light of Jesus in
Revelation 21:23. and Revelation 22:5.
Revelation 3:14. Means in the sense Jesus is the origin and source of Gods creation. Colossians 1:15-18. and head of the new creation. 2 Corinthians 5:17.
God bles
from whom you learned that "the word dog in Deuteronomy 23:v.18 is a reference to a male prostitute. One does not know the source of the money he or she receives in the winnings from gambling, some of which could be "dirty money" (e.g., gotten from white collar crime, theft, drug sales, the sale of pornographic literature)?
See, the Word is GOD. GOD did not refer to the things you said above by your interpretation of GOD's Word regardings to the "dog"; no, absolutely, the Word does not refer to those things you have said.
That said, who is he to whom the Word of God refers to as DOG? - GOD answers us by His Word- Isaiah 56:v.10-12:
10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb DOGS, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yea, they are greedy DOGS which can never have enough, and they ARE SHEPHERDS that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink (false doctrines); and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
Paul Apostle warned: Philippians 3:v.2 - Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the circuncision.
And JESUS left very very clear, saying: Revelation 22:v.15-16
15 For without are DOGS, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
Dear LEON DAVIS, what you wrote above has nothing to do with the Word of GOD. Your interpretation of the Word of GOD- Deuteronomy 23:v.18- is a mere human conception of you, something from your imagination, or even conjectures, opinions, or guessings.
Be careful with the Word of GOD. The Word is GOD, understand?
listen, but most importantly listen to what the bible says about the subject... Proverbs 13:11 - Wealth [gotten] by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. 1 Timothy 6:10 - For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith.
Gambling is the wagering something of value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the intent of winning something of value at someone else loss. And by participating in such practices, we become as guilty as the person we are gambling against, thus leading him or her astray in their wrong doing, of also participating in a wrongful act.
Simply put..."both parties are guilty and leading each other astray from the Lord. "I personally feel that it is definitely wrong and especially when "you know" where the money is coming from and how it was earned? NO! how it was made through gambling at the expense of someone else lost. And then knowingly place it in the Lord's treasure chest of tithing within the church, which is a "holy treasure" unto the Lord, for the purpose to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, a resource(s) to be used for reaching souls and sending missionaries to reach them with the precious word of God. Yes, my dear friend, that could have been the bread and butter of life to some poor mother and child, brother or sister, etc.
Think about it for a moment! If you have participated in such actions, ask the Lord to forgive you. I trust this has encouraged you and in no way have upset you! may God richly bless you through His abundant mercy and the peace of God be upon your household with salvation and great joy!!! John 3:16

Grant R. Jeffrey, author of "The New Temple and the Second Coming", said Jewish writings and the Ethiopian Royal Chronicles indicate a REPLICA of the Ark was made before the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem.
The original, they say, "was hidden in Ethiopia until 1991, when it was transported to Israel."
The Temple Institute, a group of orthodox rabbis in Jerusalem dedicated to rebuilding the Temple, claim the Ark is safely stored in a hidden chamber under the Temple Mount complex, according to the institute's Web site.
The Sanhedrin Court, the only religious body authorized to determine the correct location of the Temple, reconvened in 2005.
Mishael comment: To know more about the Ark of the Covenant, read Books of Joshua 3,4,5. ALSO Revelation 11:19
Scripture proves that the Ark of the Covenant resides in Heaven. Jesus is the Ark. Jesus is also the Tree of Life. Our names must be written in the Book of Life to enter heaven.
We also see that the Tree of Life was moved to Heaven after Adam and Eve were driven out of the Garden of Eden. Why did God do that? Because if anyone eaten from it, they would live eternally in their sinful state. God Almighty cannot dwell with sin.
Revelation 11:19
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ARK of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Revelation 22:2
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the TREE OF LIFE, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (ALL BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS)
*note, covenant and testament are the same meaning.
Mishael
Beware of dogs... Dogs? Who are them?
JESUS said: Revelation 22:v.12 and 15
12 Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
15 For without are DOGS, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
But who are these dogs among us? The answer is in Isaiah 56:v. 8-11
8 The Lord God, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb DOGS, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are SHEPHERDS that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
And the TAIL of the red Dragon? Who are them?
The Word of GOD reveals who are them.
I agree with Jesse, he gave a great answer, it is also called Gehenna, a destination of the wicked. Jesus used Gehenna as an illustration of hell (the lake of fire), the fire that shall never be quenched. This is a parable; in the Hebrew tradition Abrahams bosom was a place where the righteous dead would go. Excluding the context; is the point of this parable to show when we die, we go to heaven or hell as many teach?
The Jewish people of the time of Jesus had been influenced by Babylonian and Hellenistic Greek cultures. The Pharisees were covetous, they flaunted their wealth and the seat of authority they had. Is this parable describing a holding place where the redeemed can live in peace and safety but can look and even talk across a vast chasm with the sufferings of the sinners in torment?
This parable also does not fit all of scripture, if we receive our reward as soon as we die, as said, we go to heaven or hell. In the text of Luke16 Jesus is talking to Pharisees and scribes and in context, Jesus covers stewardship, love of riches, adultery and no servant can serve two masters.
Many scriptures tell us when we will receive our reward and it is not when we die. Here are just a few and they all agree it is at the second coming of Jesus Christ. ( Matthew 16:27) ( 1 Corinthians 1:7-8) ( 1 Corinthians 15:22-23) ( 1 Thessalonians 2:19) ( Revelation 22:12).
I am sorry if this offends, I did not want to take away of Jesse's answer, but I feel some verses are taken out of context to teach untruths. If this parable is about how to escape hell and go to heaven when you die, then the lesson of the story is that eternal life can be earned by being poor. I'm sure many will disagree including you.

In your studies of Revelation there are things revealed that can be answered by scriptures in other parts of God's word.
Christ SAYS destroy (crucify) this TEMPLE and in three days I will raise it (temple) back up (to life). He was speaking of HIS BODY.
Revelation 21:22 And I saw no TEMPLE therein (new Jerusalem): for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are THE TEMPLE of it.
Colossians 1:27 .... (revealed) MYSTERY ...CHRIST IN YOU...
This says Christ and the Father are the TEMPLE and that that TEMPLE is in you.
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells IN YOU.
Revelation 15:8 And the TEMPLE (Christ) was filled with the smoke of the GLORY OF GOD, and from his power; and NO MAN was able to enter in to the TEMPLE (CHRIST IN YOU), till the seven plagues of the seven angels were FULFILLED.
When Christ was on the cross, the seven plagues of the seven angels were POURED out on him; God wrath for all mankind was poured out ON HIM.
WE can now ENTER the TEMPLE OF GOD (Christ in you).
The seven seals, the seven plagues, the seven trumpets, the seven vials were FULFILLED at CHRIST DEATH AND RESURRECTION.
Every time a person comes to the TRUTH of Christ in you (new Jerusalem) descends from God and LIVES IN YOU.
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first were passed away, and there was no more sea.
Revelation 21:3 And I heard a voice out of heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle (TEMPLE) is with men (CHRIST IN YOU) is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself (CHRIST IN YOU) shall be with them, and be their God.
Revelation 1:3 ....For the TIME IS AT HAND (now, today)
Revelation 22:10 ....For the TIME IS AT HAND (now, today)
God said wars and famine and pestilence and death would be happening all around us while his WORDS WERE BRING FULFILLED IN MAN.
John 7:24
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
2 Peter 2:8
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds
2 Thessalonians 1:6
Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
Revelation 22:11
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
John 12:47
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Matthew 7:1
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
1 Corinthians 11:31
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
Luke 6:37
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
In your prayers, forgive. Then petition the Lord Jesus to be judge between those who offend your conscience and understanding of scripture. Jesus...is our go-to person in such matters.
Book of Job 1:
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God (evil angels) came to present themselves before the LORD (on His Throne), and Satan came also among them.
7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
Comment=they show up when they have someone to accuse. Satan=Accuser
Always take your "legal issue" before the Lords Throne first. He has the best ATTORNEY, JESUS CHRIST.
1 John 2:1 The Advocate.
Revelation 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Luke 6:43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Revelation 22:6 ...sent his angel to shew unto his servants the THINGS which must be SHORTLY DONE.
Revelation 22:10 ....for the time is at hand.
NO ONE could be BORN AGAIN until the seventh seal was opened.
Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, an lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.
This fulfils the prophecy in:
Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, BEFORE the terrible and great day of the Lord come.
The DAY OF THE LORD came when John the baptist began preaching the kingdom of God.
Matthew 27:54 Now when the centurion, and those that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the EARTHQUAKE and those things which were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
Matthew 27:47 Now from the sixth hour there was DARKNESS over the land until the ninth hour.
John 19:34 ...and forthwith came there BLOOD and water.
Jesus was crucified when the sixth seal was opened.
Revelation 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was SILENCE in heaven about the space of half an hour.
This fulfils the prophecy in:
Daniel 12:11 And from the time the daily sacrifice shall be take away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred ninety days.
Forty two months, three and a half years, time and times and a half. Jesus ministry in the flesh, ending in his death and resurrection. Then silence until forty five days latter and PENTECOST.
Daniel 12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the one thousand three hundred thirty days.
At Pentecost THE MYSTERY was revealed, the seal on Daniel's prophecy was opened: CHRIST IN YOU
became possible.
Before you can understand Revelation you have to BELIEVE a few things.
Revelation 22:10 And he saith unto me, seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: FOR THE TIME IS AT HAND. You have to believe that it is relevant right this minute; that it's instructions on how our flesh is destroyed so be can inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 15:50 ...flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God..
Revelation 1:1 ...and he sent and SIGNIFIED it...
You have to believe that most nouns represent something other than what a dictionary defines them as.
Romans 8:20 For the creature (man) was made subject to vanity....
We start life with no faithfulness to our creator (husband); therefore, we are the WHORE. We have no knowledge of the word of God; therefore, we are the false prophet, we have no love or mercy; therefore we are the BEAST. We are the only beast that buys and sells. We are flesh; therefore, we are Anti Christ (opposed to Spirit).
When Revelation is finished with us we will be the FULLNESS OF CHRIST.
Romans 8:3 ....God sending his own Son in the LIKENESS of sinful flesh (us)...
Sinful flesh (us) was crucified with Christ; Christ arose and we arose with him.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection.... they shall shall reign with him a thousand years.
You have already died to the mark you were born with (the beast) (flesh).
Revelation 13:15 ....as many as would not worship the the image of the beast (themselves and things of the flesh) should be killed.
Revelation 9:18 By these three were a third part of man killed, by FIRE, and by smoke, and by brimstone...
You were raised with Christ and now Christ lives in you.
Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming FIRE.
You now live in the purifying fire of CHRIST where the beast and false prophet are:
Revelation 19:20.. cast alive into FIRE; cast alive into Christ.
