The Hebrew language was a dead language from about 100bc till the 1850's. This new Hebrew language is in no wise like the old language of the Torah. It is a completely different language. Back in Jesus's time everyone understood Greek, and an assortment of other languages, but everyone understood Greek because Greece was the super power before the Romans took over. The Romans spoke Latin and Greek. Any ways that's why all of the new testament was written in Greek. Also, the old testament (Torah) was translated into Greek way before Jesus came. And every synagogue in the known world had a copy of the Torah in Greek in their synagogue. is the Greek word for iesus which became Jesus later in our english. Only the old testament was written in Hebrew. Do research before you fall into the Lies of the new Hebrew movement Heresy. The name "yeshua" was unknown to any Christian for the 1st 1200 years of Christianity... Jesus, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Paul, Jude and James all called Jesus "Iesuos" (Greek) NOT yeshua in the new Hebrew. In the Heretical book of the Talmad they call Jesus yeshua as an insult and says he's is boiling in eternal excrement according to them. Hebrew was UNKNOWN to any scriptures prior to 1200AD when the very scribes Jesus warned us about introduced this backward written language.. look it up, there were ONLY 2 heretics in the history of Christianity that even pretended to know Hebrew (Origen and Jerome). If God wanted us to called him Yeshua, He would have told someone other than 13th century AD Jews who use the word "yeshua" as a derogatory term in their Talmud.

Jesus uses these words to describe the nature of unbelief and our separation from Him because of our original sin. We really are void when it comes to spiritual knowledge, or as to the things around us? Nature is a prime example!

Tina, God will always have a remnant that will follow Him, strive to be holy & be faithful to Him even unto death. Luke 9:23, 14:27, 1 Corinthians 1:18. These are those who take up their cross daily & have their eyes & hearts constantly focused on their Saviour. We see all that's happening in the world with sadness & horror, but we know that the work of Satan has been going on since Eden & has been increasing ever since. I sometimes wonder what state the world would be in had Christ not come & the Gospel not gone out into all the world. Of course, had that happened, God would probably have closed the curtains of this corrupted creation as it was only the coming of our Lord at the appointed time that spared the Arm of the Lord from destroying the world. His mercies to us were great, without which we would indeed be consumed.

Yet, even though we are quick to accuse people for their ungodliness, immorality & rampant sin, we see a lot of contributing factors, to which Satan has a foothold. A baby is born in innocence, with a sin nature, but with no knowledge of error. Bad parenting, atheistic misguided governments & disregard to the Holy Scriptures have majorly contributed to our grievous immorality. Not that we would have been freed from the things that you speak of, but godliness would have been the order of the day, clear moral directives & boundaries set & crimes against God & society would be dealt with correctly. All this of course, will never happen as Satan has full control of the minds & lives of the majority.

Yet the Gospel of Jesus has gone out & many lives have been saved & turned towards holy living, yet I have this nagging thought, was the Gospel only meant to be the means for a personal life turnaround, or to also strongly influence society with the requirements of God? Some have attempted to do so, but as a whole, we have failed as Christians. We have failed to stand for Truth & Righteousness & thus have to bear some responsibility for our lot.

For your consideration:

The seven churches, seven seals and seven trumpets represent periods of time concerning the Christian church throughout history. Regarding the seven seals;

The first seal describes the spread of the gospel starting with the time of the apostles and the newly founded Christian church. Mentioned several times in the New Testament, during this time the gospel reached all of the then known world and it did so rapidly. A white horse would represent a pure gospel message.

The red horse (color of blood) of the second seal describes the consequences of rejecting the gospel beginning in the second century. As Christ is waging spiritual warfare through the preaching of the gospel, the forces of evil render strong resistance. Inevitably, persecution follows.

The scene of the third seal (black horse) points to the further consequences of rejecting the gospel, beginning in the fourth century, as the church gained political power. If the white horse represents the preaching of the gospel, the black horse denotes the absence of the gospel and the reliance on human traditions.

The fourth seal horse is pale. The rider's name is Death; meanwhile, Hades accompanies him. These two are allowed to destroy people by sword, hunger, death, and wild beasts over one fourth of the earth. This would correlate in time with the dark ages.

The scene of the fifth seal applies historically to the period leading up to, and following, the Reformation, during which millions were martyred because of their faithfulness.

The sixth seal predicted a 1. Great earthquake; 2. Events in the sun, moon and stars. The sun became black as sackcloth, the moon became like blood, and the stars fell to the earth as a fig tree drops its late figs. the Lisbon earthquake, in 1755; the dark day of May 19, 1780; and the spectacular meteor shower over the Atlantic Ocean, on November 13, 1833. The fulfillment of this prophecy, in Revelation 6:12-14 led to a series of revivals.

Amen u r not aone in that/this walk

I support these thoughts Adam. The real news is our place in the Cross of Jesus Christ.

We are seeing all this happen and it's getting much worst than ever before. I go out and all I see is vileness and ungodliness everywhere I look. People have absolutely no respect or compassion for others. Dignity is dead and morals have been tossed out the window. People especially the young generation think they're above the laws and want to do whatever they want with no consequences or accountability. The amount of wickedness and disrespect I see is terrible. People in this world have chosen not to obey God and his commandments and as a result are walking in spiritual darkness. Turn on the news and all you see is too much violence and killing going on. It's getting impossible to find people who are holy and walking with God. We should be following God and obeying him. Please everybody turn back to God and repent. Stop sinning and start living holy now! We are living in the end times.

If they had confessed their belief in Jesus to you or others; that's what matters. Read these scriptures and be at peace in your heart about it. We don't hear what people pray in the middle of the night, alone in their bed. So, Believe the best.

Matthew 10:32

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

Luke 12:8

Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

Romans 10:9

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

1 John 4:15

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

John 12:42

Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

Romans 14:11

For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

Philippians 2:11

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Revelation 3:5

He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Romans 15:9

And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

John 9:22

These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

May Jesus be your Peace, Mishael

The first words to simon and Andrew were to follow me and I will make you fishers of men! Fishermen of men! This is the message that indeed, as you say is not being spoken. Christ is the way . Why are repeating Christs words so difficult? Why is the church not inviting people to be baptised and saved, no more alter calls. Not unlike Pastor Billy Graham! Baptism should be like when John Baptised Jesus in the Jordan river. People should be called like never before! Pastors ,deacons, elders, young and old should be shouting out the name of Jesus! Jesus always said, never be afraid! Preach the gospel, in and out of season, always! The marriage is ready! call everyone from the hi ways and byways. Indeed his kingdom is at hand,Jesus wants all men to be saved. The marriage is ready! The church today is stuck! Stuck with their idea that perhaps there is another way of salvation, a salvation based on works! Perhaps it thinks its vial doesn't need to be full, that it can share its oil with another mans idea, and still be ready when Christ arrives? Based on an idea that there is something else that needs to be done! We need to exalt Christ, our redeemer from sin and eternal death. There is salvation in none other ,but the blood of Jesus Christ!

Hello, beware of fake news and false teaching that satan spreads around to deceive Christians looking for an alternate identity of privilege. The fact is we all have our identity in Christ and anything outside of that is often an attempt to pursue the flesh- status, identity, value, found not in Christ, but an imitation substitute. I don't know if this describes you or not, but we're seeing more and more people be baited into a deception. Keep your armor on and stand guard to protect against satan and his lies.

Just a little comment concerning the Jewish people. Not all who say they are Jews, are true Jews, there are Edomites etc. But, it is sad to see that the Messianic's are never included. They are in the middle. The Jews don't want them and the Christians don't either, and yet they love Yeshua passionately, and do their best to live according to His Will. I know I am one.

Is habakkuk speaking or teaching of todays 2020 white house. im starting to embrace that i am isrealite.

It's GOD change Jacob name to Israel why do we keep calling Him Jacob

All...what we have to understand it's not by our will but by HIS will alone that anything happens! 1corinthians 3:7 We don't save anyone, we don't choose ourselves to be saved it's all HIS will! Because HE loved you enough to allow you to see HIS glory and wake up one day!! THAT'S real facts...now you spread that seed of knowledge you have been given and then if He sees fit HE will give increase to those that hears HIS WORD!!(YAHUSHUA)

Dorothy,

Please follow Gen. 25:33; 27:27-30; 28:13; 29:33; 32:30; Deut. 21:15; Luke 14:26; Rom. 9:13.

Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).

In His Service.

Its simple God hates.....And in this verse is specifically talking on Esau the progenitor of the "edomites" aka the Caucasian race.. another reference is Romans 9:13

Remember to keep to the context of the verses; Not every word written by God is for you at the moment. Understand the meaning by who wrote it, at what time and in response to what.

This is one article of my faith too, from brethren 389 years ago last spring. Is there really anything new under the son?

"Of Revenge"

As regards revenge, that is to oppose an enemy with the sword, we believe & confess that the Lord Christ has forbidden & set aside to His disciples & followers all revenge & retaliation, & commanded them to render to no one evil for evil or cursing for cursing, but to put the sword into the sheath, or as the prophets have predicted, to beat the swords into ploughshares.

From this we understand that, according to His example, we must not inflict pain, harm, or sorrow upon anyone, but seek the highest welfare & salvation of all men, & even if necessity requires it, flee for the Lord's sake from one city or country into another, & suffer the spoiling of our goods; that we must not harm anyone, & when we are smitten, rather turn the other cheek than to take revenge or retaliate.

And moreover, that we must pray for our enemies, feed and refresh them whenever they are hungry or thirsty, & thus convince them by well doing, & overcome all ignorance.

Finally, that we must do good and commend ourselves to every man's conscience; & according to the law of Christ, do unto others that which we would have others do unto us.

Please explain the meaning of Malachi chapter 1 : verses 2-3

Hebrews 9:26

For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world:

but now once in the end of the world hath appeared to put away sin by sacrifice of himself.

Hebrew 9:27

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement.

Hebrews 9:28

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many, and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

AntiChrist Scriptures

1 John 2:18

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

1 John 2:22

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

1 John 4:3

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

2 John 1:7

For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a Deceiver and an antichrist.

Friend, any one can make a claim of what people want to hear for serving themselves. Christians are wiser than that.

Keep the faith within the Saints as a witness to the unbelieving world.

America is end time Israel where the gathering of his people is taking place. It is the only Nation that fulfills the prophecy to Abraham. Most of his people reside in the Christian Churches and are being called out, leaving in droves. Come out of her (the Babylonian whore) my people!)

If you believed in christ,but never go to repent because of a sudden death( accident), how does God forgive us for sin?

Good morning all! The best inheritance that one can can leave is a witness of the truth in their children and grandchildren and for some great grand children. When I witnessed my two older children (a year apart in time) transformation from their old walk to a new walk within hours it was like watching a miracle in a day take place. Where there was no peace, there was peace, where they were kicking against the pricks there was quietness. When this experience happens the parents have completed their primary responsibility in the home. The children will then be guided by the Holy Spirit in their season of bringing forth fruit. We as Christians like to think of everyone else instead of our own homes and our own children and our own fleshly fears. Parents should teach children while they can by example in stewardship in economics and preferring those who have authority over them. This is the Kingdom of Christ in earth, it's reign is now, it's blessings are now and full thankfulness is now, love is now, peace is now, hope in eternal life is now, loving our neighbor is now, teaching the Truth is now. God will make a way for his lambs without having to defend themselves by violence and without harsh word and without spiritual lascivious acts with the unbelieving world.

Children are a witness for us or against us in our very practices of what we believe as Christians.

Carleton

Like hinds feet - That I may escape to God my refuge.He will make me - To conquer and triumph. 1 Corinthians 9:9-10. shall cease, God's elect shall joy in Him, "beholding His goodness, and loving Him in all things, and He will give them free affections, and fervid longings of holy love, whereby they shall not walk only, but run the way of His commandments and prevail over the enemies of their salvation."

AMEN!

And thank you Frank Garcia

Alex Comments about Christ exactly y he was flesh and blood. Jesus said b/f abraham was i am he only took on flesh and blood to die for the sins of the world, without being flesh and blood he cd not be the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world but some ppl are too stupid to see that and they make all kinds of derogatory remarks about his flesh not realizing that he had to be flesh and blood to die for the sins of the world. When he said b/f abraham was i am. He was SPIRIT JUST LIKE HIS FATHER IS SPIRIT. And when he will go forth to sow his seed his children are spirits thats ye he is saying that which is born of the spirit is spirit, Thats the H.G. HIS OFFSPRING . Whosoever receiveth one such Child in my NAME receiveth me. In my name implies he is the father of the H.G. He said the father will send the H.G. in MY NAME ( HIS WORD/SEED ETC ) meaning his offspring THATS Y iSAIAH is saying behold me and the Children the lord has given me. Jesus describes the H.G AS THE CHILD THAT IS GONA LEAD US INTO ALL TRUTH THE ANNOINTING. The H.G. IS a living being that comes from his seed sown in our hearts and minds simply b/c his words are living beings thats y he has to know us. gestation in the spritual realm thats y he always refers to himself as the SON of MAN. They don't call him the bridegroom for nothin, He has a seed sow in humanity.It was the Father that said that every thing has to multiply after its kind, and Jesus does not sow mans seed he sows the word the very seed of God unto whom the word came it made them Gods, he multiplies after the God kind, THATS 1 OF THE WAYS WE KNOW HE IS GOD THE SON IS B/C OF HIS SEED, THE LIVINGWORD. Not the writen word but the living word, The written word cannot initiate a birth simply b/c there is no seed potential in paper and ink th written WORD BUT THERE IS SEED POTENTIAL IN THE LIVING WORD, Being bornagain of an incorruptible seed, even by the word of God that liveth and abideth forever Spirit and life .gbu

I do not understand Deuteronomy 6:8 where it says: And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand,....

I think they are referring to the commandments expressed in chapter 5.

I need help and clarification on how to: "bind them for a sign upon thine hand.

Any help would be appreciated. God Bless.

Well said Mishael. Today is the day of salvation. We not not know the hour nor time, but we do have the signs all around us. Again, well said.
