It doesn't say. Everyone has to wait and anticipate the pleasures and joy of heaven revealed.

I've always wished I could lay down on green grass under a tree without being crawled in by every bug in the area. Lol

It means, Pause and think on these things.

Wesley's Commentary for Luke 12:55

12:53 The father against the son - For those who reject me will be implacable toward their very nearest relations who receive me. At this day also is this scripture fulfilled. Now likewise there is no concord between Christ and Belial.

12:54 And he said to the people also - In the preceding verses he speaks only to his disciples. From the west - In Judea, the west wind, blowing from the sea, usually brought rain: the south wind, blowing from the deserts of Arabia, occasioned sultry heat. # Mt 16:2|.

12:56 How do ye not discern this season - Of the Messiah's coming, distinguishable by so many surer signs.

12:57 Why even of yourselves, without any external sign, judge ye not what is right? - Why do ye not discern and acknowledge the intrinsic excellence of my doctrine?

He was speaking to Timothy then. Also the verse speaks to us now, in later history. We are the young converts.

In Chapter 3 of 1 Thessalonians, Paul showed his concern for the well-being of the young converts to Jesus Christ. This was his main purpose for sending Timothy and Silas back to them while he remained in Athens.

The presence of Timothy was meant to strengthen the church in their faith as well as encourage the people to keep from being unsettled in times of trials. Paul also sent Timothy to find out if he had labored in vain.

Next, Paul told of Timothy's report after he returned from Thessalonica. He said the report was very encouraging and he was very thankful for that. This news comforted Paul in his affliction and he said he was excited to see them in the near future.

Paul concluded 1 Thessalonians Chapter 3 by saying that he prayed for God to open doors that would allow him to visit them again. He also prayed for the people, saying that he hoped their love for each other would grow in much the same way that his love for them had grown. He prayed that the Lord would establish their hearts in holiness for when the Lord Jesus Christ returned.

You can google your scripture and type the word, history, after it and you can read the historic details of an event.

Mishael

Explain Ezekiel 20:7-8

The Father purposes; wills

The Son is the Word of God, speaks it

The Holy Spirit performs the the spoken Word of God

When we speak the Word of God over an issue or condition in our lives; according to the Known Will of God (the Bible, OT and NT); the Holy Spirit moves to accomplish it.

All three are one; not Separated.

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

1 John 5:7, John 10:30

Acts 17:27-30

Isaiah 6:8

Romans 1:20

Colossians 2:9

They speak amongst themselves.

Write these scriptures on the inside cover of your Bible now. This subject comes up often. The scriptures are plain enough to be understood.

Debates and arguing theologies according to varying opinions cause confusion. Acts 17 should dispel that.

Mishael

Where can you find the spelling of Elroyhe ( God sees me) in Genesis

why is it necessary to have a firm handle on our spiritual identity?

How do you teach younger people the longer you live and grow with God life is easier but how to explain how to love God fully?

everyone that reads it

Pls I need a bible verse that referred to Lucifer as a great singer or psalmist

Whatever the lord jesus will is .that is what will happen there is nothing else to say!!!!

I also agree on Hosea 4:6. We as a nation, including me, have slowly slipped away into Huluville, Amazon prime, and Netflixville. How sad, to get caught up in what the world does. God will not save our country, if we do not take steps, to get away from the sins of the world. It's like, God asks me, "You want me to save America, but you are not serving me first?" How sad, God, help me to get away from the things of the world, and to have perfect peace in you

I will give thanks onto the Lord for he is my rock and my salvation praise he the LORD,

I believe it is jesus Christ

Very powerful , the words are if it some

else. Then I apologize

. don't mind me

23 - But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeker such to worship Him.

24 - God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Lk. 10:20 - Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in Heaven.

Lk. 10:21 - In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in they sight.

What is the meaning of Luke 12:49_56?

The Apostle Paul was writing this letter to the Christians in Thessalonika in Macedonia/Greece.

What is malicious

Nice scripture

Just correcting a spelling error: it should have been written as "to lift up or to exalt". Apologies.

Who is the one being referred to as "you" in this book?

Justus was one of the three fellow labourers with Paul. The other two were Aristarchus & Marcus. And these, said Paul, were a real comfort to him, probably during some difficult period in his life. So Justus' name was actually Jesus (Yeshua/Yehoshua in Hebrew or Joshua), but he was also referred to as Justus.

The interpretation of Selah is not certain. We know that when it is used in the Psalter, it's often used in Psalms that are sung or of praise to God. Therefore, it can mean "to life up or to exalt" as an ending to some declaration. Or, it could be a direction or musical notation to the singers to "pause, be silent or become louder or softer according to the musical director". So, one cannot be certain as to its meaning or even how the Jews today view that word or if they take much notice of it in their readings.

Two Theories On This Biblical Account

1. The king James bible says the following; he would offer her as burnt sacrifice, she lamented being a virgin for two months, then he did what he vowed. He vowed to offer her to the lord as a burnt sacrifice. This is the clear meaning of the language used in the King James Bible. This is sometimes confused with she was lamenting her virginity because she would have to remain celibate but this is not what the bible says and there are two primary issues.

2. Theory 2 says he just offered her to the lord to be celibate the rest of her life. Two problems here. 1. Levitical law allows for making a trespass offering when a person makes a vow like this. Instead of sacrificing her or dedicating her to the lord to be celibate he could have just made a tress pass offering to be forgiven of a sinful or un-kept vow. Read Leviticus 5:4-6. The second problem is if he didn't sacrifice her as the bible says and just dedicated her to the lord, Levitical law also allows a person to buy back someone they previously dedicated to the lord for 30 shekels. Leviticus 27:2-4

Honestly after being ran off by his brother Jephthah spent a lot of time out in the world and probably was not even familiar with the Levitical law any more. Not knowing the law he probably figured he was doing the right thing by sacrificing her when in reality he was not obeying god in this act, he was committing murder. The sin was making the vow in the first place and remedy was already provided for by god via a trespass offering.

I would understand that the rider on the white horse would have had arrows with his bow. We need to remember that all this imagery was shown to John to depict certain events yet to happen, therefore it shouldn't be assumed that the bow & arrows carried, should be anything more than signifying the purpose of the rider's coming, i.e. to go forth to conquer. Just as in verse 5: the rider on the black horse had weighing scales with him. Again, the picture is given to show the Act of God upon the world in scarcity of food.

I understand that Jerusalem in that Scripture speaks about the city itself. It's meaning is generally understood to be "Foundation of Peace". Jerusalem has had a long history but in biblical days, it was occupied by the Jebusites until the time of King David who managed to capture the city by stealth (see 2 Samuel chapter 5).
