Matthew Chapter 24 Discussion Page 6

.Maureen also more description of physical heaven is Genesis 1:14-17 further description of Gen. 1:6-9.

Sister Maureen, Heaven is where GOD dwells.

God dwells IN YOU.

Revelation calls it the New Heaven (Christ In You).

The words of God become more understandable when you BELIEVE you are HEAVEN.

And Satan was CAST OUT of HEAVEN (out of YOU).

Sorry maureen the use of the word heaven there is sky or air which tied into what I first replied my apologies it helps to read whats written. God bless

Maureen In Genesis 1: 6-9 Gods definition of heaven, the word firmament is expanse the word heaven is the word shamayim which means heaved up things so apparently all things above earth is heaven then there is also heavenly, spiritually according to Ephesians we are seated in heavenly places in Christ. Kinda Neat. From what I've studied. Any other input more than welcome. God Bless

How would you answer...what is the definition of heaven?

2 Peter 2:5, declares Noah to be a "preacher of righteousness". However, we're not told how he communicated God's Message to the people, whether during the building of the Ark ( Hebrews 11:7) or at other times. His soul would have been vexed by the wickedness around him, as Lot's was with the Sodomites ( 2 Peter 2:7,8).

Genesis 5:32 shows Noah's age as 500 years old & then when he was 600 years old ( Genesis 7:6), the flood waters came upon the Earth. And somewhere between that time ( Genesis 6:3) God declared that man's days "shall be a hundred & twenty years". I guess that's how the understanding arose about God's time limit for man to take stock of his remaining days.

Yes I heard that before but I don't buy it , is there proof of that happening and did Noah record it ? He was the only left and seven others .

But if you look today no one lives more than 120 yrs old even with billions of people , of course there can be exceptions.

So mans days where shorted to 120 yrs no doubt about it .

Bill, if you're referring to Genesis 6:3, the 120 years written here isn't given to show a generation (of years) of mankind, but how many years God had given mankind in Noah's day to heed the warning & repent. Within 120 years the flood had arrived & sadly only eight souls were saved.

I don't get current events from media , it's all agenda driven .

I Gave up on google it's apart of the same agenda .

A generation is 120 yrs .

Happened back when The Lord said so in Genesis because of sin . Notice reality kicking in to this day no lives a full 120 yrs .

It's been that way for centuries.

Yes Gods word is reality .

I do not get prophetic input from media. I get it from combing through the Bible.

I googled 'Silk Road' to find China rebuilt it, all the way to Europe. (Right near Israel too)

I put 'China' in this website search engine, and up popped 3 scriptures indicating that pestilence would come from Asian and Mideast regions. I got the maps out and did a big search on that.

China's national colors are in the Bible!!

The last war will be fought over WATER. No one in the Mideast has enough. Guess what? Google the water pipeline Israel is building now!

I'm not publishing comments by books or writers. I get it all from the Bible. That's why I said last night: we are the generation Daniel wrote of.

Crack the books, all the ancient maps you can find.

Our governments have not even heard of these prophesies! They are making plans for wars and rumors of wars, based on Nothing! They are playing right into Gods Endtime program. Which he watches diligently.

Who am I? I am nobody. I'm about to turn 70. I have seen many things happen in my generation. This is the Terminal Generation. A generation is NOT 40 yrs. Thats why some predictions failed. Jesus gave us specific signs. Prophesy gives events that have to unfold a certain way. Our Teacher, the Holy Spirit, is who guides us. He has the Light.

If we read through scripture too fast, we miss the key pointers. If we don't speak Gods Word, everything we say in our flesh, will amount to nothing.

Israel is living within prophesy now, more than ever before. We see it by what God had his people write down in the Bible. Some had dreams or visions. NOW, we have daily newspapers to compare the past, to the present Now. Knowledge has increased!

My advise: stop gnashing on old manna; start digging and praying without ceasing, on Gods End Of Days.

The Bema seat of Christ will tell who did good, or who gathered wood, hay and stubble. Search that out.

Mishael

I know people do not know all the words of the story, or they would not have elected people that are overthrowing every institution that this country has fought and died for, on the battlefields. This nation makes a mockery of our Constitution, Flag, the Lords Prayer and the words printed on our money: IN GOD WE TRUST.

Shame on us for not using our vote, to vote for God! Now we will see what it means when the domino effect, takes place. Put a bookmark in Leviticus 26: 14-39. We're there: the 5th Cycle.

Not all of the Book of Daniel has been accomplished.

Daniel 12 (for starters)

3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and SEAL THE BOOK, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and KNOWLEDGE shall be increased.

8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?

9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed TILL THE TIME OF THE END.

10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but THE WISE shall understand.

11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

Not only this, but Antichrist is clearly described in Daniel; and his campaign to take over nations. Knowledge is increasing. I do believe the 4 Horseman are here.

Now is a good time to read and discuss Prophesy.

What is the Holy Spirit showing us for today?

Scott,

Matthew 24:13

He that keeps the faith to the end, will be saved means just that. At Revelation 11:15 and 1 Thessalonians 4:17 it happens. Whether you are a firstfruit, or part of the 2nd resurrection, you endured and will be rewarded.

Blessings, and make the most of the time left.

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

Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endue to the END (times), the same shall be saved.

You say the subject is end times and tribulation.

Did the people 1900 years ago have to consider this verse also. Did they died without Christ; not making it to the end times and tribulation. Whats going to happen to you if you die before the tribulation and the end times come. I don't think you understand End TIME and TRIBULATION.

Revelation 22:10 Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for THE TIME IS AT HAND.

I COME QUICKLY

Revelation 3:11

Revelation 22:7

Revelation 22:12

Revelation 22:20

Revelation 2:16

Revelation 11:14

Revelation 2:5

It has been 2000 year since these words were written; is that QUICKLY, perhaps with more study and more REVELATION, TRUTH would be more clear.

Hebrews 9:28

Colossians 3:4

He APPEARS to us now in TRUTH of HIS WORD (written and living, Holy Spirit). At the death of this body of flesh (end time) he shall APPEAR to us to FACE to FACE.

1 John 3:2

Ephesians 4:13

Ephesians 1:10

Isaiah 27:12 ....and ye shall be gathered ONE BY ONE...

Matthew 24:13, "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

The literal translation from the Greek is, but the one who HAS endured, not the one who will, but the one who has endured unto the end, this one will be saved.



The first thing is, because it is an Aorist Participle, it shows the proof of those who are saved, and it matches the rest of the teachings in the New Testament.



The person who is saved WILL endure to the end. So we have the proof, and secondly, the promise of salvation. That is a promise!



Since the Bible uses a lot of future tenses, some say that salvation isn't here and now, but later. No! that is a promise. You are saved now. And when all this is over, the ones who will be saved are the ones who have endured unto the end.

Salvation is present tense. It is something we have now. All those who have been born of God's Spirit are the ones who endure till the end!

Lori, if you type 'alien' & 'aliens' in the Search the Bible Box at the top left of the main page, you will see the references come up. I would say that in all cases, reference to aliens implies 'strangers or foreigners', & not to extra-terrestrial creatures.

I don't understand why no one is looking at the context of the verse. The subject is the end times and tribulation. You have to look at that phrase in the context of the chapter. It's talking about enduring to the end of the tribulation during the end times.

I was dumb as a rock, serving Satan, involved in astrology. Not the magazine stuff.

God can reach into their miserable worlds and pull them out of the dark, into His Light. My little grandmother was praying for me; sending me Jesus love letters.

Maybe tack a few minutes onto our interceding prayertime and ask God for supernatural salvations within the news media.

Interesting reading online: the Silk Road Rebuilt, The Pipeline Israel is building to bring in drinking water; the Nations fighting against it.

Jerusalem Post for Israel news.

Turkey erasing Ancient Christian shrines, churches.

I don't believe anything I hear on TV or online in the 'news' anymore. Most is just lies and deceit and biased opinion not based in reality. What if 99% of what they say just isn't true? And what if people assume it's true and live their lives believing things that aren't even real. It's unbelievable deception. People have been lying a long time too, only recently have we seen so much of it exposed. And the fake news tries to legitimize their lies by paying for 'fact check' websites which are further propaganda. Most things on there are also lies. I think God is shaking His head at how stupid people are and how corrupt they've become. One day a line will be crossed and he's going to wipe people out. Like sheep preparing for the slaughter.

Mishael,

Don't believe the lies and propaganda about Russia. It's planted by owned media outlets who traffic in lies. Do you believe the US media, or the politicians? What's to stop a British spy from poisoning the enemy of an enemy and blame it on Russia. Wouldn't the constant treachery edge you closer to the button?

Soon Russia defeats US, then Jesus defeats Russia starting the 1k year reign.

Same Subject Different Week on Matthew 24

As you tire, so does the Lord: Amos 5:20-23

20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

It's always the same old story, different century.

Where are aliens mentioned in the bible

Every weekend we discuss, "which day is the Sabbath."

WHAT did Jesus say?

WHAT did Jesus do?

What did the Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes, say about it?

What has the Holy Spirit (the Teacher Jesus left with us), SAY?

Last question: WHAT day are your Church's doors open for Services?

Skip the Commentaries for 1 day, and see what we can glean from scripture.

There's a scripture that God is going to utterly wipe out Russia. God is tired of their incendiary politics. They mess with our elections without fear. Someone in our nation is a traitor.

16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?

18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.

19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.

22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Oh yes I can feel it, I got so excited reading this, it feels like my heart is doing summer-salts, I read, I listen, I ask for enlightenment, slowly I'm learning, the rapture is what I'm studying now, and the more I study the more I know the rapture is real, and I am so happy and so vary grateful Our Heavenly Father touched my heart to want to draw close to Jesus, so thank you for your message bless you and hay I might see you in heaven, God bless.

What happened 20 years ago? It was 9/11 that changed everything. Prepare for Sarmat city, it's coming.

Part 2

Understand this... National TV news is NOT going to report on this. On Jerusalem Post you might be able to find back stories.

They just came through being attacked every day on our tv's. We saw it.

It started on tv news (700 Club) we saw the Jews boarding and disembarking; Returning to Israel permanently. You have to prove you're a Jew to live there now.

Folks! Gods final countdown is ticking real fast. I suggest you get some Arthur E Bloomfield books and cram some prophesy, fast. The most accurate I have read.

The United States is going to do something that enrages the World at Large to hate our nation. I believe that was when President Trump made Jerusalem the center for the USA embassy. What happened 20 years ago?

The Jews Began to Return to Israel.

Mishael

I wish I had the Bible in this format in childhood. Search function. Wonders never cease.

"The Day of The Lord" is not the Rapture.

The Rapture is first for the Church (not to be confused with Catholic). Christ will announce His arrival with a mighty trump. I'm thinking it's going to be loud, and people will see it and watch, but maybe only we see Him and hear. He will come with the clouds and we will go up to meet him. He calls us up. Believers who are alive will be taken to Heaven. He is the Bridegroom and the Church is the Bride so when you see this reference that's our turn. We have the Wedding Feast prepared and it is joyous and we are ready to get out of this horrible place. I am going to be watching from safety, because the horrors that are coming are hard to accept. I'm trying not to be excited for Everyone should be figuring it out because we are speeding up! Does anyone feel it?

The Day of The Lord is when He comes like a thief in the night. Everyone is evil and feeling content and there is peace, peace and then sudden destruction.

On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel. U.S. President Harry S. Truman recognized the new nation on the same day.

What was the significance of the Six-Day War? June 1967

At a time when Arab forces posed a significant threat to Israel's security, Israel's preemption in the Six-Day War dealt a decisive blow to their ability to carry out threats, especially by incapacitating Egypt's air force. Israel also captured territory held by Egypt, Syria, and Jordan, none of which was recaptured by military means. Calls by the United Nations (see United Nations Resolution 242) to return these territories in exchange for lasting peace laid the foundation for the "land for peace" formula underlying the Camp David Accords peace treaty between Israel and Egypt.

The Bible teaches that when Israel is in the land, that God gave through covenant with Abraham; to his heir by Sarah. NOT Ishmael. Ishmael had his own blessing by GOD, for power, wealth, princes. Genesis 16-18

In the past 20 years, the dispersed Jews, have RETURNED to Israel from all over the Planet. The Land prospers when Jews are in it. It has prospered and the entire world covets everything they have. Israel needs to build houses, they are building a pipeline to get more fresh water. The world opposes every thing they are doing on land God gave them forever. Two final things that HAS to happen, is for the Jews to LOVE the Land again. Refuse to give it up. Fight for it. The Final thing: is for the Jews to Love God again. The harder the world try's to get rid of the Jews; the tighter their grip on God will get. The Covenant and boundaries of Israel is a deed that is defined in the Bible. The Abrahamic Covenant. Read it. As we all know, the USA leaders are throwing in with the Palestinians, Russia, China, EU, and others to force Israel off the Land.

They just came through being attacked every day on our tv's. (See Part 2)

Spencer Raban perphes that is speculating??What brought us into it? The evil ways of the nations coming to fruition.

Genesis 15:16 shows how the Lord waits for evil to become fully complete before He acts to remove the people who cling to such evil.

Lamentations 3:40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.

1 Corinthians 11:27-32 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
