HI John.

I believe the creatures mentioned here is on the every thing that was created, It says in heaven "AND ON EARTH" We're on that list of created things as well,

There will be those people on earth, animals, and that which is in the sea. The group here mentioned is not in heaven.

I believe heaven have a lot more to offer than the things you love down here on earth.

Revelation 5:13. And every creature which is in heaven, AND ON THE EARTH, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

God bless

Hi Steve. A wine vat would be the receptacle for wine storage, as in a wine barrel or jar/urn. Whereas a 'winefat', I understand is where the juice of the grapes collects beneath the winepress. However, this meaning is violated in Isaiah 63:2, where the person is said to 'tread IN the winefat'; one wouldn't put his feet into the juice, rather in the winepress to tread the grapes. It's possible that the translators didn't consider the correct application in this instance, as in Mark 12:1. The Hebrew for winefat in Isaiah 63:2, renders it as 'winepress'. Thanks for that interesting question.

Otis,

There is no difference. The words holy, sanctify, sanctified, sanctification, and saint all come from the same word, HAGIOS. They all mean to be set apart. A saint is someone who has been set apart (HAGIOS) for God's purposes. We have been sanctified (HAGIOS), which means set apart. And we are HAGIOS (Holy) because we have the Holy One dwelling in us!

But there is no difference between the words!

Enjoying reading how God put Moses over his people's to bring them from Pharaohs. Out of the land of Egypt.

I have several Arthur E Bloomfield books. He's deceased and his books are really hard to find. His books were written with a lot of maps.

He was way ahead of his time. I really believe the Lord was showing him things, because nothing that is occurring now, he could've seen in the natural. God was with him.

I don't think we should argue our way through these matters. I know absolutely that if we will spend time in Gods presence that He will reveal key things.

I'm thinking of the false prophet problems we'll have with them trying to get rich and I guess they are planning on living through what happens after the tribulation, incredulous as it is. Who knows how big that Wormwood star is...NASA is not showing that online like they used to. It is plain nuts for people to think they can wait out the Apocalypse on Mars or the moon.

I've been in evangelism since I was born again. I did it all wrong. Had my head down boo-hoping one night and the Lord said so clearly, "Are you through trying it your way?" I said, YES SIR!!. And my life and love of winning the lost changed. He iS the LORD OF THE HARVEST.

We need not be so scared to ask the Holy Spirit for His Gifts. He alone knows what we need.

It's not scary as long as we have Him helping us.

Matthew 24 and Luke 21 will open a lot of dialogs.

Isaiah 63: v2, winefat? Used in 3 of my kjv. Why not use winevat?

To me Christianity did not start out as a religion it was made into one, the apostle paul fought ir all the time.

Job asks in 31:1 why he would "think upon" a maid (KJV and older versions). STRONG'S CONCORDANCE agrees, and gives the original of the Hebrew word for the English "think" as "biyn," which seems to agree with the King James translators, but not with the 20th century translations who render Job's word as "look" or "gaze" on a maid or virgin or young woman.

This seems too contradictory as to be silly. Would these translators (ESV et al) have us believe that Job's covenant would prevent him--or us today--from gazing at the girl ("virgin") who happens to be on the platform singing a solo in a worship service? It seems to me that some of these translators have bought into Stephen Arterburn's eye-bouncing!

Or has a more recent Hebrew version of Job been discovered than that (Erasmus Textus Receptus) which the traanslators of the KJV and the 1560 had available? (???)

You're very welcome!

Amen and Amen, Brother S Spencer: Grace stands ALONE!

And they will say unto me in that DAY: did I not, etc....etc...and he will say depart from me yea workers of iniquities.

All (work) is of GOD (the Spirit), we are JUST the vessels.

what is the different between sancify and holiness?

Thanks,

Otis

When dealing with one particular audience during his earthly ministry, our Lord Jesus Christ answered a question about the greatest commandment. He said, "Thou shalt love LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment" ( Mark 12:30). This is not an option or suggestion. The authoritative (not authoritarian) Lord gave a commandment. It was to be done. He then added, "And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these" ( Mark 12:31).

an opening in a wall ( 1 Kings 11:27 ; 2 Kings 12:5 ); the fracture of a limb ( Leviticus 24:20 ), and hence the expression, "Heal, etc." ( Psalms 60:2 ). Judges 5:17 , a bay or harbour;

Gene Redwood,

I'm starting to see that too, it's frightening how we bring it upon ourselves. The US can be overpowered. If you chart US history past WWII, America has its hands in everybody's pie. But, oh, what a magnificent empire. A year ago, I would have stuck up for my red, white, and blue, but God showed me her fate. Some scriptures, I don't know if it's Rome, or the US capital they're talking about.

Be safe, and God bless.

Revelations 5:13 says "every creature (as well an others noted) "in Heaven and on the earth"Animals have shown me God's goodness, special love, and kindness and love to other animals! Does this verse comfort us who love dearly our pets and would rejoice to see them in heaven?

What is a breach

Tom,

There are many scriptures that explicitly describe the beast. Example: even he is the eighth and is of the seven". For you to gain credibility over opinion, you must demonstrate who the beast is by behavior and physical location. Much is given about Jeremiah 15:8 throughout the Bible. Also, the beast courts 10 nations who give their power to the anti-christ for one hour.

Brother Adam.

That's a great way to put it!!

I never looked at it like that, I guess one can say Christianity is not a religion but when man adds his belief systems or efforts to establish his contribution to this grace, Suddenly he has fallen from Grace and put himself under a religion.

In this case I believe the first act religion is when Adam and Eve tried to Clothe themselves.

Also Abraham and Sarah showed an act of religion when they agreed to have a child by Sarah's handmaid, for the heir, when the heir was supposed to come by promise. I believe When you try to add to the Grace of God by adding some man made condition you put yourself under a religion and have fallen from grace.

God bless.

When Christ returns, He will defeat the remaining armies of the world. America is not among these armies. America didn't survive. anti-christ destroyed Mystery Babylon.

The Jews reverend the Name of YHWH so much that they use Adonai instead.

( LORD.) The Jehovah witnesses put the name Jehovah back in every where they figured it was taken out, "PLUS" in verses it doesn't go to deny the deity of Christ.

That's their main pitch when saying they have the best translation.

I hope that helps.

God bless.

Hi Sister Dianne.

Yes, I know you didn't say greater in ability,

but I just wanted to touch on that while this verse is presented because there's some out there that use that verse in that way.

God bless.

To me, everyone has a religion, because everyone holds certain beliefs to explain their worldview on life. Atheism is a religion too and atheists believe certain things to explain why they think they exist. Political ideologies are some people's religion, for example some hold their faith and hope in is government. Some will censor, edit, gaslight to try to make their belief seem believable and true. People throughout history have made up and worshipped false gods, so people inventing a belief system as their own twisted religion isn't anything new. Christianity is a religion. Some seem to hold a negative connotation towards that word and assume it only means works, but I don't buy into that. If you look up the word religion in the dictionary Christianity fits the definition exactly, and everyone else has a religion (belief system) too, even if they say they don't.

Dwight My understanding in the context if two people are married and don't believe but one of them gets born again and the other decides to leave the believer is not held accountable. On the other hand one can get born again and the other stays verses 13 +14. Divorce is not Gods Will.

I've heard it said by radio preachers that on the day Jesus Rode in to town on the baby donkey was on April 6th. Is it in scripture

Hey Fred,

I understand, there is an old expression "into the weeds", it is used in different ways with different meanings. Sometimes when we get off the beaten path and into the weeds and examine details we mostly look over, our eyes and ears open to the Holy Spirit and strengthens our faith and shines a light on things that lead to better understandings.

God sometimes uses the least to make the largest impact, like Paul, he considered himself the least of the apostles.

It is a pretty good guess Paul was dehydrated, he had no food or water for three days. Without water for three days in that country, he was probably about ready to give up the ghost, but he was praying. He possibly looked like a wilted flower on a hot July day.

Ananias knew what kind of man Saul/Paul was and he was probably thinking I don't know about this, Saul/Paul has the authority to lock us all up. But Jesus assured Ananias He was in control and Saul/Paul was chosen to do His purpose and bear His name before the Gentiles. Ananias probably said, thank you Lord, ok, let's do it.

May we walk in the Holy Spirit of truth,

Thanks brother! Yes, I meant to type Luke 3:17. It's a little harder typing on a phone!

Christianity I do not believe is a religion its a Father taking care of the family he called out of the darkness of this world.

I can't disagree with anything you have said. America being the melting pot presents it's own problems. As I recall, the Lord is not too keen with the concept of mingling and for good reason. Every time they mingled they ended up worshiping idols and hearkening to Baal. And there was great shock and misery as a result of God's wrath. I believe the world has fallen in such a way. There is no question in my mind that the world is under judgement.

Most people feel and have been told that Gog/Magog are Russia. I don't really believe this as my other responses indicated. That said, I feel that Russia along with many nations will comprise Satan's army at Armageddon.

I don't understand the question

Jesse Scripture in Romans 7:14-25 Paul by revelation gave a really good summation that we all deal with, thank God there's a day coming when we will be released from this body of death.
