Brian,

This decree by Cyrus was probably in 539BC.

"Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem. And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem." Ezr 1:1-4

The foundation of the temple was laid in 536BC.

"Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD." Ezr 3:8

I don't know what date you're looking for, but these dates mark these events in Ezra.

Above all, and most important, there are several errors in the Scripture, because it is translate, and not inspire, those errors does no masked the truth, for the Scripture interpretate itself, and you or we as individuals not led by the spirit of the most high God, it could our demise and confusion of our mind. Yet it is is a living book.

To Tiffan Morrow, thankyou. I don't plan on getting that jab. Absolutely not!

Okay Mishael, I don't want to rub it in but your convert here misses you. Just talked to my Nigerian brother Minister Patrick, He is well and sounds hopeful. He knows of no one personally who has died of Covid19 but does know the loss of a close friend that was kidnapped and later murdered this past January. Prayer is definitely desired but life goes on for most that stay close to their villages where they are more understood by their love. Phone call brought up the subject of running a little village Christian school. So looks like a bank trip sometime soon. :)

I liked the part about the 19 dollar fortnite card

There is vast different between inspiration and translation the latter of the two is man's using his own life experience and his ability to translate the the scripture(Bible), which have several errors in it writing that the sceptics utilizes for silly argument.



Now, first and foremost, as the apostle said,"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. "

For example: number one, Bible, it only can be found on the cover, now, lookup the definition for Bible and Scriptures and you decide which is the most appropriate name for the book. And the book have two covenants, old and new, and not testaments, for the latter is distraction to the true meaning.

I can support that Television fasting works wonders. 30 years+ so far. Still need to try the other fasts to get the whole understanding.

Thanks for the reminder!

Hello Skip, No, the mention of the Gospel Tract and Bible society should have been outside of this thread. However, the thought of it at time may have been inspired by parts of this tread. I am open to reading more of your knowledge of the literal crossing of the Red Sea.

Thank you for your time.

It's more of a lifestyle than a fad diet. I got tired of all the gimmicks. My brain was sending messages that I didn't okay. A sweet tooth is yeast gone wild. Brutal.

Jesus fasted 40 days and nights. The Bible says afterwards, he hungered. So He was drinking plain water. Our human bodies can only go 3-4 days without water; and the kidneys go into crisis. Diabetics, people taking many prescriptions need water and some light food or they can get real ill. Instead, declare a total fast from television, internet, media. It's as hard as denying food.

The idea of fasting is to FEAST on the Bible during. Read whole books. Praise in song and worship

Go for walks. Be your self. Bible says don't brag about your fast. Don't appear unkempt, sad mouthed and dragged out. Dress normal and your spirits should be boosted high just from avoiding media. Does for me.

Declare the fast in obedience to God. Do as unto Him, and it goes smoothly. We can't do it just for ourselves. "Ourselves" don't want to fast.

If Satan hears you praying he's going to open a window and blast in the neighbors backyard barbecue. Look out for satans mean-spirited traps.

If you can't do 7 days, don't worry. You'll be able to do it next time.

Expect a word of encouragement from the Holy Spirit. I fast when I can't make decisions firmly. The Holy Spirit will help you if you ask Him.

Hope this helps.

If you're looking for examples of praying before meals, Jesus prayed before feeding 4000 and 5000 people: Matthew 14:19. And before passover meal: Matthew 26:26-27. There's probably more.

Carleton,

Does The Gospel Tract and Bible Society have any relevance to this discussion?

If so, I'd appreciate a reference. Thanks.

And yes, the southern part of the Sinai Peninsula is a good candidate near the Straits of Tiran, as is Nuweibaa about 70 miles northward in the Gulf of Aqaba. Recent exploration finds an approximately 60 feet deep ridge with interesting coral shapes scattered across this ridge like wreckage. The John 10:10 Project has an interesting set of videos on The Exodus that you might find interesting.

We all must remember the Bible was written at THAT time. However, God specifically gives us the Promise of Eternal Life for the Crucifix upon the Cross of Jesus Christ our Lord has allowed our sins to be forgiven. Gods word and Law DOES NOT EVER CHANGE, PERIOD. There is a certain number of times this is stated, however I can not recall it. As, he speaks in symbolic and numbers.

God, himself stated in Bible that it is known that all man are rebellious. So, we have a choice. We either follow God or we think we can take control, thus allowing that temptation and Satan to get what he wants and to further this by turning us to Hate Gods heart.

Just because our "time" "generation" of life here is not the same as when Bible was written DOES NOT allow us to try to define/change the LAW/WORD of God to our generation. For, How does Revelation exist, thus already telling us what to do for when our time of Eternal Life in Heaven comes?!?!

They did not have BF or GF back then. Ok. And, thus does not change his LAW- this means we Follow his Word and abide by the Law and we place it into our life of the interpretation to remain within His Law.

We must remember every evil on earth - one of them personally knows us so well, that they easily target us with temptation when it happens because they are always waiting for just the little slip to continue us into a brain fog and fully control us. God states, to always call upon Him first in any situation and He will Promise to guide us.

We Christians know that we carry Gods temple- within us- our Holy Spirit. We already are given the right choice to make upon life and choices. We also still have the choice to think we are strong and can handle things on our own.

So, let's use Gods temple within us and call upon God before we try to interpret his Word to accommodate our sins.

Great post! Keep it out there.

My dear brother-in-law was on their board for quite a few years.

Four Horsemen: Book of Revelation, Zechariah and Book of John (Patmos)

The four horsemen are described as Satan's army, Conquest, War, Famine and Death. One of the horsemen, Famine, deceives Satan with the intention of working for the side of good.

Four figures in the Book of Revelation who symbolize the evils to come at the end of the world: They are often called the four horsemen of the Apocalypse=

The figure representing CONQUEST rides a white horse

WAR rides a red horse

FAMINE, a black horse

PLAGUE and PESTILENCE, (world pandemic) a pale horse. They are often called the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Personally, I believe conquest is the subverting of world governments or political power. The Antichrist goal is to produce one world government and one world religion. Also, one world money system, which the Beast will use to deceive people into taking his Mark into their foreheads or hands: in order to buy and sell goods.

Different Bible translations say of Matthew 24: plagues, pestilence. Our society calls it world pandemics. It's a disguise for the truth told to us 2000 years ago.

All these things are happening together in THIS century; Jesus told us these are the signs of the last generation of people.

Keep watch on world money systems changing to create the One World Money System. Such as bitcoins and other manipulations. Don't fall into the trap thinking governments cannot possibly de-value the money, gold, silver and precious stones, minerals.

Revelation 6:1-8

Mishael

Hi joy ,as far as i know the prayer you are looking for isnt in the Bible ,if i am wrong some one will let me and hopefully you know ,my understanding is that when we pray to God it should be from our heart ,im sure you can find the words to just say thankyou to Him ,may God bless you and bring you closer to Him every day .

The Gospel Tract and Bible Society is an organization well worth the time of looking up.

:)

Hello Skip, My wife is the objective student (even though I was the geology student) of history, but finally she understands it spiritually. We believe objectively, that the crossing was at the south part of the peninsula west to east.

:)

Hello Skip, West to east as many of churlish behaviors suggest liberals go. ;)

Carleton,

East or west? There was a crossing of the Red Sea. That's what Moses recorded. That is The Interpretation.

Do you want to spiritualize it for an application. Go ahead, but the Interpretation of the passage is a historical event. Liberals love to take The Bible out of the reality of history and make it purely spiritual, a super fable.

I dislike, for instance, the hymn chorus that ends...

You ask me why I know He lives/He lives within my heart.

I KNOW He lives, because Jesus actually historically rose from the grave on the third day. There IS evidence, really, really strong evidence. Objective evidence along with my personal subjective evidence that I know spiritually. But it is the OBJECTIVE evidence that is out there for everyone to see and test that is the most important. Same with the crossing of the Red Sea.

To add to the call to pray for the Country of Nigeria:

I'm challenging everyone to call their local Christian radio stations, to play this song frequently. It stirs my soul. We possess power to turn the evil to glory, for the Lord Jesus Christ.

"Wake Up America" by Terry Talbot

What book talks about when the horse saw the spirit of death.

Hello Richard, Thank you! Perhaps it is more obedience than practice in good works by faith or just practice, but how many do either that have been washed by the blood of the Lamb?

1Corinthians 16:20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with a holy kiss.

1Thessalonians 5:26 Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.

2Corinthians 13:12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.

Romans 16:20 Salute one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.

Please think about helping the people of Nigeria who do not know from one day to the next what will be their fate.The deadly violence against helpless Christians is wreaking unthinkable devastation.

Today, ACLJ is taking direct action at the U.N.

Radical Islamic militias are targeting Christians for slaughter all across Africa just because of their faith. In the Congo, families have been horrifically murdered. In Nigeria, Christian pastors have been beheaded. Christian teens have been abducted and forced into slavery. In India and Pakistan, Christians have been forced to flee.

The world should be outraged. But too few are speaking up.

When ACLJ Senior Counsel for Global Affairs Mike Pompeo was Secretary of State, he placed Nigeria on a persecution watchlist. Now he is working with us as we demand international intervention to stop the bloodshed before it's too late.

From me: Please keep this situation in your prayers and war rooms. This is what Matthew chapter 24, is all about. This is a poor nation suffering cloud swarms of locusts; eating every shred of food, past few years! This is the definition of pestilence. If you're brave, you might see these stories on Google.

America the beautiful is like sleeping Giant. She needs to wake up, flex muscles and stand against militia soldiers that murder women, children and the elderly.

God bless everyone who hears this call to them before it's too late! Take 1 extra step and alert your Pastors too. Thanks.

Mishael

Isaiah 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

Ezekiel 33:31 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.

James 1:21-25 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted Word, which is able to save your souls.

But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

For if any be a hearer of the Word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

As Mishael stated in a comment "faith without works is dead"( James 2:20). Learning about our Lord Jesus Christ and zealously studying/reading the Word is most definitely good fruit unto the Lord. As in many ways we can all produce good fruit of the Spirit unto our Father in Heaven.

God Bless.

CHRIST IN YOU

Colossians 1:25-29 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is GIVEN TO ME FOR YOU, to fulfil the word of God;

(vs 26) Even the MYSTERY which hath been HID from the ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

(vs 27) To whom (the saints) God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this MYSTERY among the gentiles; which is CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of glory:

(vs 28) Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

(vs 29) Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his (CHRIST IN YOU) working, which (CHRIST IN YOU) worketh in me mightly.

Revelation 2:26-27 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my (CHRIST IN YOU) works unto the end, to him will I give him power over the nations:

1 Corinthians 15:28 And when ALL (creation) thing shall be subdued unto him (CHRIST), then shall the SON also himself be subject to him (FATHER) that put All (creation) things under him, that God (CHRIST) may be ALL (CHRIST IN YOU) in ALL (CHRIST IN YOU).

Romans 8:19-21 For the earnest expectation of the creature (creation) waiteth for the MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD.

(vs 21) Because the creature (creation) itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption (the grave) into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Psalms 122:5 For there are set thrones of judgement, the thrones of the house of David.

Revelation 20:4 And I say thrones, and they that sat upon them, and judgement was given unto them.....

Luke 22:30 That you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and set on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

CHRIST IN YOU THE HOPE OF GLORY

Hello Judy,

Just to add a couple verses to what Mishael posted for you about the real circumcision being of the heart. Not the flesh.

Romans 2: 25-29 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?

28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Yes, Samuel had anointed David as king, but he was not coronated until many years later, often being hunted by King Saul. It was a testing time for David. David even had opportunities to take Saul's life, but he refused. This was a time when David's faith in God increased greatly.

Hello Skip, There is only one crossing of the Red Sea. No one knows in advance how exactly that will be and how God will protect us from our enemies and feed us. Moses and his brother had never crossed through the blood ever before. It was a wilderness and remains a wilderness for all who have never crossed.

Hello Phillip, The Romans scripture may have been Paul trying to prove his point.
