This chapter is still one of my all-time favorite chapters of the Bible! It is just so powerful

Jesus answered Luke 17:20When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied,“The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs. 21Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”it is by "faith" Eph 2:1-10 and "grace" in Jesus Accomplishing it all, His last words on the cross were 'it is finished"

Way back then Jesus came to shack up the. Ruling jews back then just he is shacking. The world today telling his people to get ready. For the trumpet to call is people home before. The seven days of judgement

I feel that Galatians 1 is very clear to me, the power that that I had in the flesh, never measured up to Paul teaching in Galatians 1.

Works WILL deceive many people into thinking
they are Christ's.Grace is never earned.Matthew7:22:23

Matthew7:22

Disciple,U err."The completed word and work of grace is in the action!"
That's wrong reasoning.Grace of God is completed on the cross.We
are complete in him and his work on the cross.Colossians2:10
Fruit is not our works, but God's changing our character to a likeness of Christ
while we are here.Matthew7:22

God is awesome. Esther had grace. So let's be praying for the grace of God

God is good
Thank you for the Word.

This chap. is virtually identical to Isaiah 6, Ezekiel 1

>>...and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Realize that not only this chapter but 1-11 are in the present tense. This is NOT about the future. It is about preparation as it is the present tense as of 2,000 years ago!!!! So Christians, I strongly recommend that you prepare yourselves fully for the Day of the Lord.

Finally the rainbow. The rainbow has 4 earthly colors and 3 heavenly colors - on earth as it is in heaven. There are 4 letters to 4 angels of 4 churches in chap. 2 and 3 letters to 3 angels of 3 churches in chap. 3. Read and understand the simple cryptogram from the 1st chap. of Ecclesiastes that explains what the 4 living beings are in Ezekiel that in turn explain this chapter and its 4 beasts.

John the Revelator sees a sea of glass - his emotions are stilled while in the spirit. 2 sets of items keeps shape-shifting - the 7 spirits of God into 7 stars and then 7 angels of 7 churches and now 7 lamps. The 7 churches changed into 7 candlesticks then into 7 churches again and now 4 of them - from chapter 2 - are now 4 beasts virtually identical to the 4 living beings in Ezekiel.

John was instantly meditating - as by now he was very good at it - where he introduces the control room - your brain and mind. The one on the throne is The One Like Unto the Son of Man first mentioned in chap. 1 then given different attributes throughout this book. This is your super conscious mind or your overself. The 24 elders are your 24 cranial nerves subservient to the overself.

"Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith." We should not think about ourselves above what is written in the Scriptures, as if we are any way better than others. With all restraint being taken away, so that the ungodly can do all that they have imagined; only a firm foundation of faith can enable us to endure the world's moral disintegration.

Comment*My lesson from this passage is to dedicate what we've receive from God to his service as a proof of our appreciation of the gift.

It wasn't about which son was stronger.
Two nations were in her womb and one people would be stronger than the other.

Who ? I am working everyday to be one the Who. I try to walk up right, work righteously and speak the Truth at all times.
If I treat my neighbors and my family like I want to be treated then I will be one of the WHO!

Thought of David as young? He's probably old by now!

No Jason, you are wrong! The Scriptures say that God loved Jacob and hated Esau. Why? Because Esau hated the things of the LORD and despised his sacred heritage; choosing instead to be heathen like the Canaanites his neighbors, and Ishmael the wild man who despised his father Isaac. Esau thought more of his pride and his natural appetites than the holy promise of Christ, and God's covenant!

"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree:" Galatians 3:13 Redeem: to buy back to get back recover, as by paying a fee to set free by paying a ransom to deliver from sin and its penalties, as by a sacrifice made for the sinner to fulfill a promise or pledge to make amends or atone for to restore to favor by making amends to make worthwhile justify. . . "From the curse of the Law." What makes accursed of the Law? Christ has undone it and made for our complete reconciliation and perfect standing with God so that nothing of that should any more be in us, or have dominion over us.

God wants us to love one another; not merely in word, but in deed and in truth. In Matthew 25, for example, it says plainly that we shall all be judged at the last day by how we treated one another. Jesus came not to abolish the law or the Prophets, but to completely make full! Us being saved by His grace is the sign to the world of Jesus having finished what the Father sent Him to do.

Emmanuel Appew; How does one be judged by God, so that He hardens the heart; and another that He draws him with cords of love? How do some recognize and fear the high and holy calling of the Spirit of God, while others...many, will not receive Him or know Him at all? We might expect that the more someone actually sees the works of God and has access to His Word, there would be a good result. But..

Steve Morrow; YES! AMEN! "Love wasn't put in your heart to stay: love isn't love until you give it away." So too GRACE: like wisdom, it must be in action and a living principle how we direct our behavior, our words, and our thoughts. Grace isn't grace merely in word or wishful thinking, or some undefinable abstract concept, like the heathen purport against Christians. It is a real work of power!

Jeff; You asked, "...why isn't Cain's genealogy in with Adams?" Because we are created to be the children of God; and Cain despised and rejected to be a son of God, and instead filled his heart with the devil; condemned of himself to wandering in the earth as a hater of the LORD, rejecting the Word of Christ our Saviour; and unrepentant for murdering his brother, waiting for his everlasting doom.

Dear Brother Kurt; You bring up a very interesting topic, that I think is somewhat misunderstood, or misrepresented. As you said, we know as Christians, that the way up is down: he that humbles himself shall be exalted. But there were places where the Lord spoke of these things not condemning the desire for recognition and praise when it is fitting; but for the self love seeking vain glory.

"Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith." Speaking to the kind of days we are appointed to pass through, to bring about the end of sin and the completion of the age; that which God shows us as the proof of those who are of Him, and those who are not; we should not be deceived into forgetting what is our true condition in God's sight.

Incorrect. You say Esau gave up his birthright because he despised it.I dont think that's true at all.Isaac like Esau but loved them both. Rebekah was plotting with Jacob to be deceiving. It's in other scriptures.That's why when Esau said he was hungry Jacob instantly jumped right to him wanting his birthright.The most high NEVER SAID the younger was stronger.Esau was clearly the stronger one.

My God is able!!! He never slumber nor sleep. Yawyeh is your name Lord.

Yes I believe the apostle meant what he said concerning long hair on a man you see Christ did not have long hair all of the paintings that you see of him began hundreds of years after his death and if we knew what he looked like every picture we see of him would all look the same I have seen pictures of the Lord Jesus from many different countries and none look the same
