We must understand that all that is transpiring today has been prophesied. It does not matter who is in office, they too would be fulfilling prophecy. In Matthew chapter 24, Jesus tells you of the things that must happen before the world ends. Revelations unfolds Matthew 24 and identifies the participating parties (Symbolically). Who will be saved? Eccl 12:13 tells us what the duty of man is. Rev 14:6-10 "The Three Angels Message" Informs us what to do, what will happen and why it's happening. Rev 14:12 identifies the saved. Your salvation depends on who you choose to worship, the God(Jehovah) of heaven or of this world(Satan). James 4:4 The 4th Commandment will be the deciding factor!!!

I think you also over looked the fact that Jesus himself chose Paul as his messenger to speak to the Gentiles of his(Jesus) gospel. Jesus gave Paul permission to bear his name...meaning all that Paul spoke was sanctioned and approved by Jesus. Acts 9:15. Once Saul/Paul received his sight, he immediately went forth preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Acts 9:19...

Thanks for confirmation Mickey, I alsways play christian music for 24 hours, I always pray and do the best to live my life as a doer of the word of God . My soul seeks to please God daily. We just relocated to another city this year and I prepaid my rent for the whole year, the management will not refund nor allow me to move into a house in another location that they own. Last year our pastor went to be with the Lord. I was seeking a new church home here until the Corona Virus has churches closing so I remain in my apartment praying seeking God daily and my children stays away from these people as well. Keep us in your prayers & thank you for confirmation. I know God is speaking through you

Where do you find the answer in the new testimony King James Bible , it says you don't have to be babtized?

I think you misread revelations. Nowhere in the BIBLE will you find the reference to the dragon being China. Rev 12:7 - 9 clearly identifies who the dragon is..."And the dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the Devil. God bless.

Let's not leave out the fact Jesus bore the sins of all humanity, so when he died and rose from the grave, our sins remained in the grave. In order for Jesus to intercede and redeem us, he had to live the life of man and overcome sin, that through his blood and sacrifice, he is the only one that is able to save us. "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the father but by me." John 14:6 - This is why we pray to God "In the name of Jesus". I pray you gain understanding, and BELIEVE on him.

Victor on Romans 2. Brother I think you have been slanted in your view of the prophets. Paul, of all the apostles was a man of clear understanding of God's word, law and purpose for humanity. As Saul, he persecuted God's people and thought he was doing God's will. When he was converted and named Paul...how much clearer do you think he was from that point on?

And righteousness is no longer a sacrifice in my heart it's no longer a sacrifice to my Lord righteousness is righteousness is righteousness

52 And all wept, and bewailed her, but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth... Note how JESUS taught them plus us of 2020 HE has power /authority over death. In this case JESUS spoke and death had no chore but to released the child.

we must do the will of God not tradition or feelings or opinion..
We have the Word now,,it is perfect and complete.no other gift is here or coming....Matt.7 clearly states not all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved...only those who do the will of the father..find the fluid grave,,let God do His work and wash the sin away (Acts22;16)..walk in the light as 1John 1 teaches..obey the gospel (2Thess1)...

I agree, and I am studying the book of Revelation. I listen to it sometimes falling asleep. So, can you see how this country has quickly spiraled downwards and out of control, mainly due to the evil choices the present political party has levied on mankind kind. There is no GOD, IN WHAT THEY DO. However, lies in everything they say. Do we have a modern day Pharaoh running this country? Is it stubbornness that ties people to this way of seeing these people are right

Does this tree represent a physical tree that we will eat from? So will there be real trees in heaven?

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Thanks Fred. I agree with you. Heaven is our home.
Mrs Ezeomedo please.

When seeking the Master ELOHIM while HE maybe found, it should be in total faith that passes all understanding. The people of this world have lost all hope and faith in the true ELOHIM that made heaven and earth. Psalms 103 speaks volume about our CREATOR desire to forgive us when judgement and doom is our reward. We should give HIM the highest praise and bless HIS holy name. Let us do HIS good pleasure, and show fourth HIS glory in love for one another. HE will save us, HE will heal us and forgive us of all our sins.

I have accepted Jesus Christ as my savior 20 years ago, but a friend asked me a question her question was that when we die do we go to heaven or do we have to wait till Jesus comes back and raises the dead first to go

Amen. Hallelujah. Praise God and give thanks for and to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for he hung, bled and died on calvary for ALL of OUR sins. Not just for some. If we start picking and choosing what sins are to be forgiven by Jesus, are we not standing in judgement? Remember, judge ye not, lest ye be judged. May God bless and keep you is my prayer for all. Many dark days ahead for those who choose not to repent and turn away from sin; to those who do not or will not accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Let us all pray for our lost brothers and sisters in Christ that they may come to Christ before end times. Amen.

Thank you for your perspective on my ponderings. Being a child in the Spiritual world I have so many things to learn and absorb. This is a path I treasure walking each and every day.

Hello Sonti, I know the feeling. There are some things in scripture that are harder to understand than others. But I think James 1:5 has the answer you're looking for

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." James 1:5 KJV

Also no you DON't have to be baptized. Particularly in regards to Salvation. Salvation is simply believing on the Lord Jesus Christ and his finished work. No works, no religious ceremonies no nothing.

Which I would say in case you haven't gotten saved yet that that should be first before you ask for wisdom. Alrighty, take care.

Brother CJ:

It seems you have on your Apostle Thomas eyes that is good that is very good. By the way have you ever heard of the Slave Bible?

In African American History Sinful Slave owners removed several key books and Verses from the Bible; in Jeremiah regarding paying your slave when their bondage came to an end. The biggest Biblical Testament of all time, The Book of Exodus. I wonder why in the world would someone go to such lengths as too remove Moses from the Bible.

Perhaps it was God ending slavery who knows.

The thing is if people choose to remove Moses from the Bible then I certainly wouldn't put it past them too remove other Bible Books as well; yes this would include, Tobit.

Brother Bill?

Did you know up until 1885, the word Dragon was used 35, times throughout the Old Testament. As Christians is not our Bible a book of Faith? Then why did the church fathers commit such and egregious offense against God? Okay, you're probably wondering what's Dragons got to do with Tobit? 1885 the American Bible Society didn't understand Dragons because in their opinion Dragons didn't exist. They, never saw a living Dragon know one had. Is not our Bible a Book of Faith? We believe in God right? God created Us beginning with Adam right? Dragons were being discovered; their new names are Dinosaurs. So What's wrong with Tobit again?

I found out about Enoch when I was 12. Initially, I didn't take Enoch seriously. A year ago I re-read Mythology stories; honestly, my eyes are open never realized those stories were true sometimes we have to keep hearing the lesson; before we learn absolute, Biblical Truth.

This happened to me. It's spiritual warfare. Start pleading the BLOOD of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (out loud). Pray for all the demons to be bound and cast into outer darkness. Ask God to send warring angels to guard the car, 4 corners of the apartment; protect you and the children. Pray that all curses towards you be turned back to the senders.
It sounds like a bad neighborhood. Move for the kids sake. Ask your church for help.
Ask the Holy Spirit to give you the gift of spiritual discernment. Play Christian music for your angels.

Scripture says that YOU have the mind of Christ. No matter what has been said to you the outcome can change. Sometimes our minds are caught in the middle of horrid spiritual warfare. When Jesus was in the desert , fasting: satan tempted him many times. Jesus said each time "IT IS WRITTEN...and he quoted scripture to the devil. You should study but also tune into the Holy Spirit. Jesus went to the cross to bring the Holy Spirit to you. We are all here for you.

David this prayer of heart is for you. When you are in trouble, God is listening. Your angel encamps around you. You're safe. Let your requests spill out. Sit quietly and listen to Gods counsel. You will feel peace only. Things that make us sad or frighten us are not of God. Reject those voices. If tears fall that is blessed cleansing. God loves you and He's the lifter of your head and heart. Holy Spirit come and comfort him and teach him many things. I am my Beloved's and my Beloved is Mine! Lord let him feel the sheer strength of that promise of your love. Be still and listen. Sometimes He tells us amen! Sometimes it may be 'not now'.

This is some insane stuff. It does not belong in the BIBLE.

Thanks for sharing and staying positive. Blessings!

This seems to mirror Solomon's special interest and intent. Just as God's promise to David was everlasting, so did Solomon mean to introduce his lasting of order to decree this sacred space forever.

Like the greatness of GOD, Solomon's temple was also celebrated, strong, grand, noble and exalted.

To me, the meaning behind this verse in Chronicles is the dedication to the LORD, of the temple space that was build for Solomon and shows an offering.

It's know that Hiram, King of Tyre existed at the same time period and was on close terms with both David and Solomon. Maybe Hiram was able to see the perfection of the work being done to this temple for Solomon as Hiram was known to be the Grand Master of Masons.
