Could you please explain your understanding of the following verses.

17. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Herbert,

The angel is declaring these woeful warnings because of the pending doom that the other angels have yet to announce.

David,

Genesis 4.

Darren,

I used to listened to HWA on The World Tomorrow occasionally as a boy. Interesting. Just didn't square with The Bible.

Interestingly, Jews have maintained their identity over the millennia. There were Jews hearing Peter's sermon from all over the world

"Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God." Act 2:9-11

These were very probably Jews who never returned after the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities. Some of those, perhaps most, took The Gospel back to their homes as New Covenant believers.

Jews are back in Israel, but not in belief. There's little doubt that God has His hand of protection on this little foothold that will, when they turn to God, stretch from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." Jer 31:33-34

This is not Britain and the US.

Hi I read this entire book and also I memorized genesis 1:1

To Rick Mentzer.

Adam and Eve's bodies went in the earth to replenish it within 1000 years. God said "the day you eat, you shall surely die."

2 Peter 3:8 shows a day to God is a 1000 years. This means no man or woman will live to a 1000 years. Adam died at 930 years old, he was 70 years short of a full day. This 70 years is where we today come to fulfill. God shortened the lifespan of man twice; 70-120 years.

So God is correct, Adam and Eve died in a day. There is a lot more I could say on this but to avoid boredom, I'll keep it short. God bless you

(The Firmament.) O Israel, why do ye rest so dangerously in the weaver's web of falsehood? Why do you continue to trust in his lies? Know ye not that I, even I, the LORD your GOD, searched out all things in the earth beneath: even the sky above the firmament which is as a globe of hardened glass? Why must you delight in oppression? Who do you desire to prove? Know ye not, O Israel, that I endured the cross for your sakes: And that you are my children for ever, and are my beloved? Your secrets have you kept according to my commandment. I have given you secrets to reveal them to you: so that you can know that I AM the LORD your GOD. I AM your Saviour. Many spirits of the Gentiles have I knitted into my body in waiting for your awakening, O Israel. They now see my salvation and my mercy. The time is come that you too shall see, that the blindness be past: as it is the last time and the fruits of righteousness shall come forth. You shall see that I AM the LORD your GOD and that my mercy has no end. You have seen my doctrine, that was never leaked, as it was hidden in my heart. O Israel, you have given place to your idolatry in the earth beneath: but must you also pollute the heavens above with your imagery? know ye not that you are now in the midst of all evil? The oppressed have no good seed left in them as they are reconciled to GOD. The wicked fill that corrupt flesh as they deceive you in every way, in every place. Return to me O children: put off the way of evil and confess that JESUS CHRIST is the LORD your SAVIOUR to the saving of your souls: repent now and be reconciled to GOD in the peace of eternal life through JESUS your KING.

I am not aware of any Apostle named Grace. This is a pride of man trying to exalt him or her self. Apostles are the only ones in the Bible. Humble yourself and repent of this thing. God bless you

As i witness to people I am finding more and more people who think they have lost their salvation, both young and old from homeless to elderly and most read the bible or say they do, they all without exception bring up the book of Hebrews, willfully sinning after knowing the truth or Esau about finding no repentance it is heartbreaking to see the pain in the eyes of some of these people. I think maybe some can't forgive themselves, some almost cause me to change my way of thinking because i struggles with some of those issues this is a tough subject and affects many more people than i thought. I could use some help with this subject so when i see them again.

It was the spirit of God that acted through Saul in order to accomplish this victory over the Ammonites vs.6. Saul even acknowledge this fact in vs.13.

Lesson: Always acknowledge God's help, privately and/or publicly, in all our victories. We should never seek to praise ourselves and boast because without God, we are nothing. Same with salvation, we can not get ourselves saved whenever we feel like. The 3 parts of God's salvation plan is all the work of God and God alone. Part 1: Who are chosen. Part 2: Who paid for sins. And part 3: Who will resurrect the dead. GOD AND GOD ALONE. God bless you

Bible scripture on prayers to pray word for time like this.

Age. When scripture is fulfilled .

Gen 44 now Joseph is an Egyptian it is an abomination to to eat with Hebrews. Nevertheless Joseph held no ill will against hi brothers for it was the will of God for him to go through 2 accomplish what God had planned for his life. This should teach us how to love and forgive. God loved us so much that He gave his only son and forgave us our sins so that we could be reconciled back to the Father.

What does proverbs 11 mean?

We have to give an account of all the idle or useless words we say, is this for the saved or the unsaved? There have been many times i have spoken out in anger, even when something inside was telling me to be quiet i have given in but afterwards i usually regret it. What about things we have said to ourselves, say someone spreads a rumor about you or a friend or even says something that was told in confidence and you say things you shouldn't have in the car on the way home.

You're most welcome.

e.

13And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

Did the angel flying say all from woe to sound.

You're most welcome.

It's analogy for the violent taking of Babylon. The whole chapter details the attack. God makes no bones about His disdain for Babylon, and makes sure it never resurfaces again. Revelation 18 celebrates the fall of Babylon, like I do, so I'm not sure what your point is, or how it smears God's reputation.

The word (preach) means teach. There were 13 apostles, there were 70 sent by Jesus not one woman. There are many great women then and now. The word said a woman is not to teach or have authority over the man. That can't be changed by opinion. It (THE WORD) don't say they can't worship, sing, wash Jesus feet, teach the young woman, and help their husband.

God bless you Skip. Your work is excellent, unexpected and means a lot to me, thank you. Let me give you my brief run down to round things off:

-The house of Israel was taken into Assyrian captivity 721 BC (-2520 years) = 1800, at the height of the British empire = Ephraim, who Jacob said would come 1st. His older brother Manasseh (America) came out of Ephraim as God promised. These 2 boys, US/UK, are the lead tribes from the house of Israel, the birthright people from Gen 48. They became "a nation and a company of nations" (UK), and a single "Great nation" (US).

-The house of Judah was taken into Babylonian captivity 604 BC (-2520 years) = 1917, on the EXACT day and hour the Balfour declaration was signed, 11/2/1917!!! How is that for prophesy unfolding?

There is a book called "United States and Great Britain in Prophesy" by Herbert Armstrong. It was the single most fascinating book I've read that uses the Bible to define itself. That's how I became interested in the prophets.

I see this statement as a attempt by the authors to once again smear gods reputation. the millstone could simply be a natural occurrence creating extreme destruction. The earth's processes take president over human life, its not always the wrath of God punishing people for their sin; with out a planet one can not have a human form of existence. possibly this verse is simply a colorful prediction. A proud statement like this makes it sound as if the angel is causing this destruction and somehow Gods at fault. furthermore verse 21:18 could be a distraction, a radical attempt to decrease the real trueness and impact of the chapters depth. No one knows the heart of God. If this statement was a clear vision from the creator the author would not have used the word "like" when describing this perception. these literary detours are common throughout the scriptures, don't be fooled, Martin Luther wasn't perfect...

Hello Jesse,

Thank you for that very kind, personal , and accurate reply. May the Lord Bless you while we complete our journey, for our Father, abiding in these mortal bodies. Peace be upon you!!

It's sad to see where Israel overcame in Egypt to where they are now.

I was shocked when I read the part of God telling them go and have the Gods you follow to relieve you of your oppression since you have forsaked me. I was reacting as if watching a movie with the response of "you tell them God!". God is the true real OG.

You accept and obey, you will be blessed. You reject and disobey, you will be cursed. To be saved though, it's all the act of God and God alone. God did not do His part and then leave the rest for whoever can and whoever will. Salvation is not God did His now you do yours if you want to be saved. God bless you

Hello Howard, this means that when Jesus comes, some will be alive on earth and some will be buried awaiting Jesus's return and will meet him in the air and await judgment. Some people call this event a 'rapture'.

1 Thessalonians 4:17

Hello Darren

Please do not take this comment as a personal attack. What matters in this forum and discussion is solid, Biblical truth and accuracy. The rest is blasphemy and should be posted elsewhere, if posting is a must..

If you believe that 5 trumpets have already blown I would like to ask the following questions:

I would assume the trumpeting from the skies would be loud enough to hear worldwide?Unmistakably. Why have they not been heard? Do you believe this to not be an actual sound coming from above? If the trumpet is an alarm to man, we know that it would be in a frequency that man would undoubtedly hear.

If 5 trumpets have been blown why have the things that Revelations 8-11 clearly states not happened yet?

Clearly, these things have Not occurred. Not the 1st, not the 2nd, not the 3rd, not the 4th and not the 5th. Hasn't happened. It would be blatantly obvious. A third of the population hasn't died, a third of the world hasn't burned, a third of the sees haven't died, a third of the sun, moon and stars..etc

I'm curious as to how/why you believe even the first trumpet has sounded.

It's Holy Ghost filled before resurrection and not the other way round. And by the way, are you basing your resurrection on your acts of faith? If that's the case, then read the book of revelation carefully and see if the LORD will teach you how and who will be resurrected. God bless you

Hey Richard!

Thanks for your reply. I read your post and see where you mentioned free will. We all have free will for everything that's available and convenient to us depending on our desire at that time. The only free will mankind don't have is the free will for heaven. We have all been placed to face God's wrath of death which is, heading for hell, but Almighty God foreknew the ones He choose to be with Him eternally. He choose them before the world began by His great mercy and grace. Just like we had no choice in being born in this world, same with being born again in God's Kingdom, the choice is and must be God's.

If that choice is left to you and me, how then will the millions of souls that perished in the womb from Adam till now and more to go the same way today and in the future, choose to be saved?

How will and how have the autistic members of the societies around the entire world be able to know what they are doing in choosing to be saved?

How will God judge the other nations of people who have no way of getting the gospel of the LORD JESUS due to their cultural up bringing and destain of other cultures?

How about those who lived and died before Jesus was even born?

And finally, what will happen to children who died very young before they could even understand reading and writing much less spell Jesus' name?

The answer is simple, God has chosen His own out of all these groups of souls including the rest of us who are not in these categories. For us to choose to be saved, then all will have to have equality in terms of hearing the word, accessible to the word and freedom to practice the word. I hope you see. God bless you

God bless all of us and our country.pease restore it to its original state and make it into god's word and heal what is happening to it now and restore the world and country to be completely ago hful to god and our religious freedom of speech and heal it back to it's original greatness.ahem
