Revelation Chapter 1 Discussion Page 23

Well i just read CH.1 and before i read it I prayed and asked in the name of Jesus to give me the wisdom ,knowledge and the understanding of his word so before i can answer I have to wait on him cause my thoughts is not like his thoughts or my ways so to b continued

This comment is for Ann. Your reference to Isaiah 45:5 and 6 is supported by Jesus 's own prayer to his God and father the night before he was to be betrayed,tried,humiliated and tortured to death. At John 17:3, Jesus identifies the only true God.Trinitarians will always have trouble with the word "only ".

My favorite book, God is so awesome

It 's makes me rejoice,in the knowledge of who JESUS IS "MY LORD MY GOD,MY SAVIOR,EL SHADDAI,THE ALMIGHTY GOD,ALL POWER IS HIS ,ONE GOD JESUS IS HIS NAME.AMEN!!!!!!.

Laura we are to be sealed by the word of God before the tribulation of the Revelation and to do that go to chapter 6 of Revelation. To get insight and understanding Mark 13, Matt. 24, Luke 21 and 2 Thessalonians 2 are the events that will take place when the seals are opened. In reading those you will find Two tribulations, first one Satan comes acting as Christ, anti-Christ, which translated is instead of Christ and in that position takes over the world, all of the people except the Elect and with the elect any that heard the truth or read the truth and had eye 's to see or ear 's to hear escape the hour of temptation because they can 't be tempted by Satan. The called elect that are chosen to stand against Satan acting as Christ will be delivered up to Satans churches and the Holy Spirit will speak through the elect so that the whole world will hear the truth in hope that many that are worshipping anti- Christ as Christ will turn away and be saved.

About a deeper understanding of end times Where is your posisition now?

Very interested. I wanna gain a deeper understanding regarding the end of time.

Doctrinaly this is a key verse which not only Israel has regreted missing the true and real messiah but the rest of the world. All will regret in that last moment for not accepting him as Lord and Savior. In addition the whole rest of the world at that time is now in the time of iron rule and judgement during the Milennial reign of Christ after the Great Tribulation.

Gary rapture is not in the Bible. In fact God says in Ezekiel 13 vs 20 and on He hates those that teach His children to fly to say their souls and before vs 20 He speaks of those men and women who teach it as men who dream it out of there own minds and the women who have laid it on so thick as a covering that hide His true way of salvation that the lie to fly misleads His children and steals their souls. Don 't believe in preachers easy made up lies to fly away in the sky because it ain 't going to happen and when Satan gets here acting as Christ who is antichrist his main lie to Christians will be he will fly them away. That wont fly them up but down!

The word rapture, is not in the Bible, I believe it 's been called that for less than humble reasons, it compares the resurrection of the dead and living to be a state of bliss, but I think it 's more of a denial for all who hope for an escape from the tribulation which the scripture says is coming upon all the Earth, I believe it has been created from fear, and not the pure humbleness of the servants of God! I believe we will all go through what is coming upon the Earth, In Matt it says immediately after the tribulation of those days the Lord would come, the scripture of two at the mill and one taken, is one of the scriptures the rapture believers put their trust in. But the real resurrection could be a millisecond before total destruction comes upon the whole face of the Earth. This is what the scripture tells us. Rev 1-5 11-15

please tell me where the word rapture is in the bible .

The rapture is for those who are pure and virgins. People of God will still be left in tribulation to save as many as they can. It is all of humanity 's mission to save as many as we can. For Jesus came fir those that sin. What point is there in saving that which is already saved? God and Jesus are with us always. Never give up and never surrendered. God will test even his faithful. His will be done.

Aaron you go to those churches and I 'll do what God says and read and listen to Him. You need nothing more than this Bible and to love God and ask for His help and your in His Church. Truth is that 's what He wants you to do listen to His prophets and apostles and His words that He gave us and He says stay away from men.

amen

Suspicious Christians are afraid of reproof. They live in fear because of false doctrine by false men and women who preach the Word. But what they lack is perspective. They lack trust in God for they hide themselves from unity because of a lack of substance. Once you are truly grounded in the faith, there will be no man that can cause you to stumble blindly into a ditch. But until then, if you are not going to church because of fear of hypocrites, you are prideful in your mind. Your way of thinking will limit you in becoming the vessel God wants to use. And its because you lack perspective. And God needs a humble person to see the perspective of many.

Some might ask me what church do you go to. There is none in Texas so I just study to show my self approved. That 's the best church listening to Father 's letter to us and not some man who can twist the truth in his belief and hear false doctrine. Always check preacher 's out because they like to add or and take away from the truth.

As you see He gave the Revelation to John to give to His servants. Who are His servants? Them that work for Him to become one. First thing, read the word, learn how to be one. Many that call themselves Christians when the get to the wedding door will be told I don 't know you. How could that be? They listened to men and religions and never opened the book and thought just because they went to church and sang songs and believed a man preach they were saved. I 'll tell you this He doesn 't hear them if they are in the wrong church. There are 2 out of the 7 given and if yours is like the 5 He didn 't like your out of luck so read the word for yourselves so you can test the fruit of the church where your going and if it 's not teaching Gods word get out.

Amen. I thankyou for sharing the word , before Christ was the word and the word was God. I believe it.I am grateful .I also know that God does not allow anyone to use him,Amen.

I know JESUS IS 'LORD OF ALL '

I do know that a pack of murderers use it as their format for mind control abuse and the crimes associated with it in Australia from government through to the cults.

Hello Ann, it does seem confusing when speaking of the trinity or Godhead but let us view it from the fact that the Bible interpts the Bible. Like you said Isiah was before Jesus but he wrote of Jesus in Isiah 53 he tells us all about Jesus and His human suffering in the flesh how grossly His human body was torn and broken for our sins before ant at the cross. He is the Word of God the image of God which we saw with our eyes the prophets and apostles. His torment and suffering in the flesh proves His love for us sinners and more than anything else that He is truly God our creator and savior by His death and resurrection. Look to the cross of Jesus Christ and I believe you will understand why He is the theme of the Holy Scripture. God bless you and you understanding!

Dan truly spoken. Old Testament Isaiah God tells us there is but One God and He is the Saviour and in John He is the Word andGod and Creator of all things. Who do you say I Am He ask the Disciples, 3 times He ask using Gods name I AM. He is I AM that I AM and He is the LORD of Righteousness. He is Yahvey Our Father and died on the Cross as the Son of man Our Lord Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God. Think about this He wouldn 't ask us to come in the flesh if He wouldn 't do it Himself. But He did it with no sin but He knew we would sin so He died for us so that we could live. If you love Him and follow Him. He loves them that love Him and try.

i am a retired minister of Jesus Christ and am saved through the blood of Christ. Jesus said, "if you have seen me, you have seen God ". that was a literal translation and the bible further supports that with the statement that, " in Christ dwells all of the God head bodily. " Jesus and God are truly the same person. It is hard for us to understand this in our feeble minds but one day we will understand it completely.

I have been a christian all my life. I am old now and am confused. In Isaiah god says over and over "I am the only god " I know about the trinity but it seems to me we are giving too much credit to Jesus. Please help m . Isaiah was written before Jesus birth when god said "I am the only god "

Jesus is the Son of God and not God himself. If you read the bible in entirety you will have the understanding that Jesus Christ is not the God mighty but rather the son of God who will one day come back to the earth to rule mankind

I love the whole book of Rvelation

REV 1-9... REV 12:17..And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Are you keeping the Commandments of God, because if you are not keeping the 7th day Sabbath the 4th Commandment, you have broken the whole law. And if you reject the 4th Commandment you are rejecting the God of the Heaven. The whole World has been deceived, by the one disguised as an angel of light, and just like he deceived EVE in the Garden of Eden to break God 's law, which brought about the physical death of man, he has subtly deceived mankind into breaking God 's Sabbath law, which will lead to eternal spiritual death in the Lake of Fire. I hope you take heed and search the scriptures, God is trying to get the warning out, the end is near! PRAISE GOD, AND PRAISE HIS HOLY SON YESHUA. AMEN!!

This signifies that Jesus is God!

With reference to Martin 's question ... How can I get family friends and myself ready for our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ return with out offending anyone? Good for you Martin. Compassion for family, for you know what is is store. Keep hold of that compassion and you will not be an offence. For the scripture itself says that the Gospel will be the offence to those that are perishing. So you are only the vehicle. Give the message well and let the Spirit of God do the work.

AMEN
