Revelation Chapter 5 Discussion Page 2

Yes indeed: it's the Living Word of God, i.e. the words are from God & they come alive to our hearts so we can know God & His Purposes for us. Keep reading, Sanaytrah, asking God to help you understand & to apply it to your life where needed. It contains the words of life - words that tell us how to come out of the darkness of our minds & hearts, into His glorious Light & to the saving of our souls. May you enjoy reading it & come to understanding of its message for you.

Thank you for your reply. Your answer clearly clarified my question.

No man , are those who have been washed in the blood of Christ. There is a diff. between no one , and or no man. No one includes even unbelievers who are not washed in the blood of Christ. Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and are not included in ( no one) . No one is just that, meaning no one. Non existent before God! Satan will do anything to discredit the word of God! He knows he is going to hell, and will stand even before the throne of grace trying to discredit the glory and judgment of God! These things belong to the spirit of God, which are in those, who trust and believe in the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. I would only suggest that you not compare other interpretations of scripture with God's Holy Word!

In verse 3 it states no man. Other books say no one what is that word man in Greek or Hebrew represent

Worthy is the lamb

Patience you speak of is before us, waiting for us! Thank you for your words!

It's much harder to believe there is no God, than it is to open your eyes and look around at things.

Romans 1

whats your take on atheists

Hello Fred, Perhaps the word patience may answer both questions?

The sanctification that you speak of is according to HIS righteousness.We are not of the world but we are in the world. With this in mind God does not want us to turn our back on evil , but know the evil is their and the enemy of the cross is very real! The real question for me is how we allow the spirit to work in our lives and be a shining light so others may see the truth in Gods word? Being led by the spirit ,a process that requires us to believe and knowing that we make mistakes along the way? These mistakes (sins) may provide motivational progress for the unbeliever! Let those who make mistakes, know that you are forgiven for the sake of Jesus Christ death and Resurrection, thereby those who see may believe!

To the TEMPLE OF GOD

This is the very reason why the believers present their bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God. Not to be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of their mind, to prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God ( Romans 12:1,2).

The renewing of the mind is all part of the Repentance process during which time we prepare a sanctuary (our body) for His Spirit to dwell in.

Only through 'True Repentance' will God be able to reveal Himself, and adopt you as His sons and daughters ( Rom. 8:15,23; 2 Cor.6:18; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5; Hebr. 12:5; 1 John 3:1).

The word 'Repent' means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).

For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9), and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God and we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( John 14:17).

You need not that any man teach you ( Isaiah 54:13; 6:45; 1 John 2:27), It is only by revelation of God that you will come to know Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1). It should also be remembered that it is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).

Thank you Mishael.

Dear Adam, There are many issues to the hinderance of the Gospel being preached freely, some of which can be easily solved in simple voting some of which the Christian must ne willing to suffer persecution to remain at peace with their neighbor. Regarding times past we should all read up on the Martyrs of the 15th century that stood in peace for keeping the Gospel's Truths without fear of man, yet without violence or their own will over any man. History has a way of repeating itself. Some estimates of those willing to suffer this way were in the hundreds of thousands or possibly greater. We need to know who we are voting for, our they really our brother or are they pursuing the world and its lust.

Ash is falling it is so dark and smokey outside. Let's pray that our little lights will shine until the end without fear.

Apparently, powers that be now, want to drop history from public school. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around that. I love history, even at my age!



Jordan Sekulow (his Dad is Jay Sekulow of ACLJ on google). Is beginning a new YouTube channel for kids to teach history and facts about our nation.

It's called: BALDBEAGLE

You have to turn your youtube mini-player on. I put that in Search, to find out how to turn mine on, lol. The one on the 'bald eagle' is well done. Wouldn't hurt to add this in to online classes, after class.

Regarding voting as a Christian. My firm stance is that noone who claims to be a true Christian can vote for any politician who is "pro-choice" aka pro-abortion aka pro death of the unborn. Therefore the entire Democrat platform is entirely unsuitable for any Christian to support. God is Life+ Jesus is God in the Flesh. -MKO

I have one worry in mass voting of any particular party. Why were some young girls buried alive in the 15th century only because they would not accept infant baptism as their faith? I would not want to align myself to the possibility of truth and untruth being mixed together as a witness to my faith in Jesus Christ who is and always will be True.

Hi Rick, I believe the command 'do not kill' applies to individuals. I absolutely believe that supporting someone who is pro-abortion or pro-death in any other way is morally wrong. I think the individual would indeed be contributing to death and evil. For some, that issue alone is enough to vote on. Are you pro-life or pro-death, it's a simple choice. Sometimes one candidate is pro-Christianity and the other is against it. When you have multiple layers line up like this I would ask what Christian would vote for someone who wants to kill babies and harm Christianity?

I only see an exception to 'killing' if it's a governmental decision, defending law and order, to applying capital punishment of an evil murderer, for example, or defending themselves from further deaths. Sometimes they have to make a choice between 2 wrongs.

I have a question for anyone to answer. God hates the shedding of innocent blood. We all know this from His Word. While keeping this in mind, should a bible believing, born again Christian support anyone that is pro choice? As an example, we have a two party country, while one is pro choice and the other pro life. So.... is God ok with a Christian who would support a pro choice party?

Look close and you will see that the one who passes the scroll is the church.

" he that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne"

" out of the throne proceeded .... VOICES..

Plural.

God is never compared to a jewel elsewhere

Saints are.

Later in revelation one of the VOICES says "praise our God"

Here we see one sitting upon the throne with a book, the lamb slain from the foundation of the world comes to him to take the book out of his right hand, my problem with this event is the oneness movement, for how can Jesus be the Father sitting upon a throne, have Jesus as the lamb coming to him to take a book out of his hand while Jesus is sitting upon the throne? No wonder I believe in the godhead, what is commonly known as the trinity.

Francis, I'm going to pray for you. I don't want to falsely judge this situation by the few words you've stated. If you need help, please reach out to others, if this is regarding you & it's on going.

In reply to Mishael I agree almost entirely with his arguements but I would add a caviat. I submit that the deep seated reason why the West (I particularly refer to the US and UK) have stumbled and unwitingly "engineered" their way into possibly becoming servile virtual vassel states to a burgeoning Chinese giant. China undoughtedly wishes to become the world master with its Godless religion and satanic ideology. The West must return to its root trust in the things of God and in doing so help itself by rejecting the headstrong desire of always trying to purchase the cheapest goods from abroad, predominently China, and begin to make its own goods even though initially it will cost us more. Be sure that if we allow China to master us prices of goods will rise exponentially. We will be heading for a new Dark Age as seen in the 1930's, lose our pride as once great Democratic caring countries and sink into an abbys of Godless theology. This has more than a close resemblance to Churchill's stirring speech in 1940 which inspired a nation to positive action and turn to the Lord for salvation. Surely we must do it again and very soon.

What do you think about these locust stories? Is it a plague?

Jun 12, 2020

What happens when locusts swarm?

Locusts continue to reproduce quickly while swarming. They will consume all the food in any given area and then migrate to seek another food source. locusts can travel over one hundred kilometers in a day, meaning they can cover a lot of area.

"Locusts do not honor political boundaries and can easily invade other adjacent countries," he said.

The locusts move with the wind currents and can go back and forth between different areas. He said the current swarms moved throughout Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia, and then moved up through Saudi Arabia and Yemen to Iran, Pakistan and India.

Exodus 10:15 - For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

Comment: I think it would be a very good thing to pray and ask God to spare USA from anything like this happening here.

I've been kinda concerned since I read a story recently about a million pounds of pork smuggled here, from China. President Trump stopped all shipments of meat from China; last year I think. The meat is contaminated with swine flu. We were buying their cheaper meat; and the Chinese were paying more money to buy our uninfected meat. This was written a month or so ago. I'm giving up BLT's :/ Hope Joe Biden will continue the sanctions?

I was curious if other kinds of plagues were going on besides COVID-19 you know?

Let's all get really serious about praying over our meals ok? "Bless and sanctify these gifts and make it clean to eat".

I care about you guys and gals. We have to lean into Jesus now.

Get your flu shot. It has the H1N1-2 strain that fights swine flu.

Love You, Mishael

Is it ok to forgive but it's hard to not forget ,example if your husband cursed you out in such a vulgar manner and so vowel to the lowest and it has been repeated

There is a sence, I feel, in not looking too intensly into the mystique of this amazing verse. Our wonder into something so unutterably beyond our puny imaginings can not even scratch the surfaces of such wondrous eclipsings of God's phenomenal plan for the world and the universe. See what over-embellished language I have had to conjure to begin to explain my tiny thinking on the subject. We surely have to capitulate our arguments entirely and throw ourselves into praise and worship of our great Maker and Redeemer.

John 3

Nicodemas asked Jesus the same question.

Fleshly birth

Spiritual birth

My Bible says keep the memory not the word 1 corinthians 15:2. How do you become unborn again? Born twice die once

Born once die twice.The Bible says I'm in him and he's in me. It has nothing to do with me or you it's all about Jesus Christ. Just a sinner saved by GRACE.

Relax and enjoy your salvation!!!

Actually there is a lot of Johns in the Bible. It could of be the Apostle John, John the Beloved, or John of Patmos.

Unless you vow to God to follow him. A servant is subject to his or her master for as long as she wants*(* some restrictions apply), on the other hand a slave cannot come and go as he or she wants.
