"When the LORD turned again our captivity..." A look into the future; hopefully not too far away; when the completed matters of God with men are openly fulfilled before the eyes of all. From out of the ages of darkness and surreal shall break forth such joy and laughter and singing, for the glory of the Lord among us at last! But for the now we sow in tears, and bear precious seed for the Harvest.

"Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." Does this suggest that we can be the least in our Christianity? or rather, that the littlest one among those born from above...? For with these things the Lord rebukes those most blessed, but who repented not.

Revelation 12 covers history for thousands of years, even from the ancient beginnings in heaven. Revelation 12 tells about God's purpose: God's reason for creating man, the calling of Abraham onto Jacob that is to be Israel, and ultimately to the King of Kings, the Lord, and to the remnant of Israel, which triumph over the Devil/dragon/Satan, by the love of Christ, the Lamb of God himself. Amen.

Verse 5 - Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in orderr onto thee: If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. Lord Jesus, it is really tough without you. Thank you, Father!

The disciples of Christ were well familiar with baptism. They had a 12 to 1 ratio over John the Baptist in John 4:1, 2. So they followed Jesus Christ instructions. Full of the Holy Ghost they knew the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost was one Lord with one name, " Jesus Christ !" The only method of baptism by the church in the bible. There is no other name under heaven given to mankind for salvation.

We don't know how to pray as we should. So God gives us his own language which are mysteries. This way the Holy Ghost makes intercession on our behalf to the Father. So what we do first is to speak and sing in the spirit with tongues building up our holy faith, and then we speak and sing in our understanding. In the assembly unless someone can interpret let us be orderly and speak to ourselves.

The entire narrative from Genesis 2:9 until Revelation 22:2 marks the return of the Tree of Life. The knowledge from the Tree of Good and Evil is shown in the entire bible, but with all the scientific advancements eternal life is unattainable without Jesus Christ and unsustainable without the Tree of Life. I come quickly informs the believer that his reward is in hand. Unbeliever be warned.

But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord, He is their strength in the time of trouble; And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in Him. Amen! Thank you Jesus.

How do we stop sinning? (v.9).

Love is obeying His covenant. If the old covenant forgave sin, what is the New Covenant?

Hey there Wayne! Are you saying what I think you're saying?

How obedient Jesus is to His Father. He loved His Father and His Father loved Him in return. Jesus wants us to love Him so we can enjoy the love of His Father and reap the bountiful blessings associated with such love. He told us in this chapter that even when He has gone to meet with His Father, He will send a Comforter- the Holy Spirit. The Triune God is complete and we must love the Trinity.

Jesus began to do and to teach, and to heal everyone who had need of healing; and then begins to charge His disciples to continue with the same work. In Matthew 5-7 was a similar thing, when Jesus began to teach about the character and nature of a disciple and now continues with what the disciples' work will be, and what kind life we should expect till He comes; just as He does at the Last Supper.

"..The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool." "But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God." The Spirit in the Saint; Jesus standing at God's right hand!

"Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth..." To all heaven and earth is the cry of the Prophet, to look at what happens with God and His people. People think that they don't matter enough, and that their little lives aren't going to affect the "vast scheme of things." But God said, "You are my witnesses;" and for better or worse, thus it must be. If you do well, men will see; and so too if you sin!

Understanding the meaning and power of the Holy Scriptures is not for picking your favorite sentences here and there, like flowers in a field but really must be within the full context in which it is written. And while we can certainly be blessed and edified by the single verses by themselves it cannot be overstated how important it is to have the whole counsel of God in what we read. In the 37th Psalm is described our way through this world, among those who are in their innermost selves set to be enemies of Christ, and all who belong to Him and how we are to walk by faith, looking unto Him who will right all wrongs, and not forget even the smallest and least of us who love Him.

V27, Stephen visited and fed the Jewish fatherless and widows that were neglected by the Jews. Pure in heart, with kindness and charity, Stephen was not only helping Christians but also those in need under the dominance of other religions. Jewish religion and Christianity are not the same religion.

There are a lot of people with strange teachings; and many really think that we're allowed to interpret the Scriptures any way we want. But the Bible says, One Lord, One faith One baptism, etc... and that we are commanded to "Be of one mind, and all speak the same thing." You are right; Simon the Tanner was a Jew. It was the men who were sent by Cornelius who were not Jews.

I am looking forward into studying this chapter with my Thompson KJV chain reference bible after I finish studying the first two chapters.

A sectarian man; a heretic; one who separates himself from sound doctrine and accepted truth according to the Scriptures. What was once understood as the Narrow Way and the Strait Gate, has turned to rather pampering of and apologizing for the weakness of the flesh, instead of mortifying its desires by the life of the Spirit. Many think they do God service but are in fact working against His Word.

Insight; the history of the "City of the Great KING" is on account of her inhabitants, who have consistently rejected with contempt any and all of God's servants that He sent to her; "How often would I have gathered your children together...and YOU WOULD NOT!" But one thing we always find in the Bible around these things is that in the end God WILL have His way with Israel and they WILL convert!

V12, Jesus is amazing. No sheep is better than a man. So how does a sheep that is less than a man have the greater value to release man from sin bondage? Jesus said all men have sin, those without sin cast the first stone of "death for sin". They can't. You are freed from sin by forgiving each other and joining in spirit with God in water baptism. No death required.

V35, Jesus is teaching an important lesson. He does not say Jerusalem is Gods city but the city of a great king. A king that defines what is religion and law. Jerusalem has been destroyed twice, besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, captured and recaptured 44 times.
All of earth is Gods real estate. What is holy to God is the LIFE God placed on a lifeless planet. Kings kill the life God creates.

Jesus came to dispel laws of sacrifice because the true temple of God is in your heart and mind not in a building built with hands. Gods kingdom is in his heaven and the entire earth is under his feet. How does one put a roof over God? God does not allow it. If a temple made by hands is not required then an altar with the blood of dead animals on it is not required. Join together but with truth.

I trust in you God, I know you will get my family and me through this.

America is not more wicked than any other nation on earth. America does strive to allow people to self rule. There is separation of church and state. People are not stoned to death for adultery, or their heads cut off because they do not have freedom of speech or freedom of religion. In America one is not killed for being a Christian unless it is by a terrorist with doctrine from a foreign nation.

Roman 10:9, That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised HIM from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED.

God reads our hearts and he knows whether or not if we are sincere.

Amen Ben/redeemed u both point out some great things I am soo glad Ive been/redeemed when I obeyed Acts 2:38 before that I was destined for hell until I was baptized in Jesus name and filled with His Spirit with the evidence given in Acts 2:4
