Paul was actually born Jewish, and was a Pharisee. He became a Roman citizen later and was involved in persecuting the early Church of Jesus's planting. Before he was confronted by Jesus on the Damascus Road, he ordered Stephen the evangelist, stoned to death.
He had a radical conversion; testimony. He went right into evangelizing. Then he got the call by Jesus to evangelize the new elect of God; the Gentiles. It's in Romans if you want to verify.
The Election will return to the Jews as soon as the Times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. Only God, the Father, knows when that will be.
Presently, the dispersed Jews are returning to their homeland in Israel. More and more, we are going to read on Google (because our national news media avoids Jewish prophesies with a 100 ft stick)... that the nations are linking up to destroy Israel off the face of the map. It makes no sense unless you know Jewish prophesy. :) We know something that the media doesn't. Ha!
They are cloned liars, anyway.
Apostle Paul is a real study in what God can do in a persons life. All we have to do is give Jesus our entire life, and receive His Life into ourselves. No limits.
We don't have lifetimes to get all of our loved ones, born again and baptized with the Holy Spirit. Pray for God to plow up their hearts to receive the seed of Gods Word; his Son, Jesus Christ. The Son of Man.
Rejoice, for these things will happen in our lifetime.
As believers, it's our personal responsibility to exemplify Christ in the culture by our life, word, resources, and by engaging in the political process as fully as the government allows. In reality, what we really want is for someone else to accomplish what God says is our job.
Some churches are too involved and some churches are not as Christians we should pray that our leaders take on Bible principles. we must follow God's ways always, if the government goes in another direction against God we must act how God wants us act remember Satan has control of this world. When it comes clear that no matter who it is , if money is where their love is pray for them ask God what you should do . also study your bible it has your answers. God bless.
Thank You so much for this BEAUTIFUL BIBLE STUDY from the book of Joel , It has helped me so much !!! I have done what I feel were many things wrong after not realizing that I was suttering from Depression , going through a divorce , dealing with a lot of anger and not getting good paying jobs , having to raise a chid alone . I knew the Lord but Satan slipped in during certain times .I am asking our Dear LORD to please give me a second chance and restore these years with great divine Love to my daughter and my life . May we develop a great life together and our Lord restore a great believing life together , restoring all that we have missed together l THANK YOU SO MUCH for this lovely discussion !!! GOD IS AWESOME !!!
SHOULD WOMEN be allowed to PREACH - In Reply on Luke 17:3 - 5 years ago
The Prophesy
Joel 2:28
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your SONS and your DAUGHTERS shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
The Fulfilling of Prophesy
Acts 2:17
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your SONS and your DAUGHTERS shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
I rest my case. The olden days of people leaning on Paul to keep the women quiet in Church is OVER.
I DARE anyone in here to go on YouTube and watch some prophetic sermons by
IVERNA THOMPKINS.
Who gave you permission to Riverdance on a Prophesy of God, Almighty and Wonderful GOD ??
We live in 2020. The idea that women are ill equipped to behave in Church is ended. God wants SONS and DAUGHTERS to prophesy: teach the Word of God. We're there already.
I would not want to be a 2020 man, discouraging the Daughters of God to prophesy and teach. God is going to raise them up supernaturally: sons and the daughters! He will step right over our prejudices, and the Word of God will be accomplished. Why not repent: change your mind? Be helpful. Be discerning.
Read the Hebrew, the Greek and get out the history books.
Be refilled and given a fresh anointing by the power of the Holy spirit. Has anyone seriously thought about what a revival of God would look like and hear like?
Maybe the Government has taken our songs away and tried to legislate how many people can get inside a church.....BUT they can't take The Church out of the People!!
Why can't we meet in homes?
Our congressional leaders are turning into the Evil Empire, so we need a plan and quick. If they close the churches; we meet in homes, like the Chinese Christians do.
Are all the prophesies fulfilled? Anybody know that for sure?
Re 22:2 In the midst of its street. In the Revised Version this is attached to Re 22:1. It is the river of life that runs in the street. On each side of the river, watered by it, stands the tree of life . . . yielded her fruit every month. The thought is that it is always fruitful, not limited to certain seasons of fruit bearing. The leaves of the tree [were] for the healing of the nations. We are not to conclude that there were diseases to be healed, but that in the city were the means which banished disease and death. The student cannot fail to trace the correspondence with the home of the sinless race in Eden. There was there "a river that went out of Eden to water the garden" ( Ge 2:10). Here there is a river, "clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb" (Re 22:1). There was a tree of life in Paradise. In the New Jerusalem, on either side of the river stands the tree of life bearing twelve manner of fruits, or rather fruit twelve times a year, every month. The river and the tree are symbols of the life bestowed by the grace of God. The river flows from the throne of God and the Lamb; from the fountain whence life and immortality come. The tree yields its fruit at all times, so that the supply never fails. Everything about the tree is healthful. Even the leaves are for the healing of the nations. There is a book, a river and a tree of life. Christ is the life, and all refer in some way to Christ. Trees and rivers presented most attractive features in an oriental city, and are beautiful emblems of the full supplies of life, grace and bliss that shall pervade the heavenly city.
This is from the Commentary Box. When you open this website find your scripture; touch it and highlight it; scroll down till you see the commentary box; open it. The website can answer many of your questions.
When the whole house of Israel (all 12 tribes) left Egypt, the were lead by Moses, a Levite, not a Jew.
Israel wasn't divorced, they were punished by God 7 times (7x 360 day/yrs = 2,520 years) according to Deuteronomy 26.
1) The house of Israel were taken into captivity by Assyria in 721 BC + 2,520 years = 1,799 Ephraim became the British empire, and America (Manasseh) would come out of his twin brother. The US is a Corporation owned by London; The Act of 1871.
2) Then, the house of Judah were taken captive to Babylon in 604 BC +2,520 years = 1917 Balfour Declaration, where Britain (Japheth born Rothschild) bought the false Ashkenazi Khazar Jews a home on land they had no claim to. Gen 10:2-3
The lead house of Israel tribes (Ephraim, Manasseh--sons of Joseph) are the birthright people (land, wealth) per their Gen 48 blessing. The lands' ownership is effectively the house of Israel, not Judah.
Our current climate of sustained chaos gets upended at the coming 6th trumpet, when Babylon America falls, Israel invaded. It's time for Jacobs trouble, and not Judah's trouble. Isaiah 13, Isaiah 47, Joel 2:1-11 & Rev 18, and the abomination of desolation set in America is very perplexing.
Revelation 18:21 - And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. .....
...... Rev 18:24 - And in her (Babylon) was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
babylon was responsible for the BLOOD of PROPHETS.
Rev 16:6 - For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
Rev 17:6 - And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Mystery Babylon killed the prophets
Jesus speaking Luke 13:33 - Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
Jesus - Matthew 23:37 - O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
the two witnesses of God are mentioned here:
Rev 11:8 - And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
Jesus, MY LORD was crucified in JERUSALEM, which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt. NOT Rome or in Mecca or the USA
Do we believe Jesus or commentaries?
How about Paul?
Paul writes in 1 Thess 2:14, 16 - For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, EVEN AS THEY HAVE OF THE JEWS: WHO BOTH KILLED THE LORD JESUS, and their OWN PROPHETS, and have persecuted us; and THEY PLEASE NOT GOD, ....
Joel 2:1-11 describes the 6th trumpet, day of the Lord strike on America/Mystery Babylon. How does a 2,700 year old prophet describe a smart missile attack so accurately? They don't break ranks, they climb up the wall and enter in at the windows like a thief. Jesus said he comes like a thief. All faces will be pained. There are 90 scriptures that describe this event known as "the abomination of desolation", set in America. Is 13, Is 24, Is 21, Ez 21, Ez 38:1-17, Jer 50/51, Rev 18. In the same hour America falls, Israel is invaded and taken captive ( Luke 21:20-24). This is prophesy. This is anti-Christ's rule.
I still all believers to experience the infilling of the HolyGhost by the evidence of speaking with other tongues Tongues are your evidence that God has put His Spirit within you ( Acts 2:4; Acts 2:38; Acts 8:17; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:6) I am referring to the outpouring of the HolyGhost that happened in the book of Acts and was prophesied in Joel 2:28. I am not referring to the gift of tongues, one of the nine gifts that Apostle Paul was teaching the Corinthians. I have experienced the infilling of the HolyGhost by the evidence of speaking with other tongues. The church at Corinth were out of order and Paul wrote them to establish order in the church because they were misusing this particular gift. He taught in I Corinthians not only about tongues but communion, the order of creation, etc. Paul did not forbid them from speaking in tongues,but rather that ye prophesy. Tongues edifies the believer, unless he can interpret so that the church can be edified. Prophesy edifies the body of Christ. I certainly agree with you as it relates to the edifying of the church. I have experienced both in my lifetime. The gifts of the Spirit are in the church today and they operate through people. Paul taught on the correct use of them in the church. No, all are not apostles, nor prophets, nor teachers or workers of miracles. But all can receive the gift of the HolyGhost. The HolyGhost allows believers to operate in the capacity that you are referencing. I do not know what churches you visited where people are out of order. But when God is in control, people will be in order. The initial infilling of the HolyGhost was what I was talking about, not necessarily the gift of tongues. Without the gift of the HolyGhost, you won't be using the utilizing the gift of tongues.
In this chapter we see Joel again warning of the approaching judgment of sinners emphasizing how time was running out. In making application we see that the Lord extends grace for repentance for a specific period of time. Just as we do not know the specific time of the second coming of the Lord we do not know if we will have more than one opportunity to respond to the Lord when convicted of our sin. All we know is that today is the day of repentance. How about you? Do you see that the we are not promised tomorrow. Let us learn from our text today and the warning from Joel to see that there is a time when we will no longer have the opportunity to repent reminding us that today is day of repentance.
I think he is talking about the end times and giving us more info on what is going to happen. "The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. " which text like this can also be found in parts of revelation.
I would like to share with you my understanding of Matthew Chapter 24. Matthew Chapters 24 and 25 deal with the end-time prophecies. There are four sections in Chapter 24 that represent the 70th week of Daniel.
Section 1: "The Pains of Birth" Verses 4-14. Section 2: Matthew 24:15 is "The Pivotal Point." Section 3: Matthew 24:16-28, "The Perils of Tribulation." And then fourthly, Verses 29 to 31 is "The Promise of His Coming," given to us in Isaiah 13:10 and 34:4, Joel 2:10 and 3:15, 7:13, Isaiah 27:13, and Zechariah 12:10.
Beginning at verse 3 of Chapter 24, the disciples are looking for answers as to when these things are going to happen. Jesus then begins answering, and from Verses 4-14, He gives the details of the first 3-1/2 years of the tribulation, known as the pains of birth. In Verse 15, we have the pivotal point, the abomination of desolation.
Then in Verse 16, we see that Jesus is talking to Jewish believers. Actually, I believe the entire Chapter is given to Jewish believers. But Jesus tells them to flee. Verses 16 to 28 talk about the perils of tribulation, the last 3-1/2 years of the 7 year Tribulation period. It's going to be a very severe time.
Verse 22 is showing us that if God did not have a time period when He says okay I am going to stop, everybody would be wiped out.
But for the sake of the elect, a special word brought over from the O.T. as a title for the Jewish people. They are His elect people. It doesn't mean they are all saved but they are His chosen people. He realizes there are 144,000 of them out there, plus all the others who believed, and this is something that is going to happen in the last part of the tribulation period.
Verses 29-31, we have the promise of His coming. I recently shared the actual 7 Steps of a Jewish Wedding. If we understand those 7 steps, it helps to understand the coming of Christ and some of the Jewish views about when Christ is coming back. Those steps are fascinating!
Joel's prophecies can only come true in the Kingdom Age, Christians are not given signs, wonders, dreams and vision. We have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, access to the Throne of Grace, a completed Bible, and the command to 'walk by faith...
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit." Joel 2:28,29 (KJV) READ IT ALL...
"And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come." Joel 2:30,31 (KJV).
Tongues are the initial evidence that one has received the gift of the HolyGhost. There are nine gifts of the Spirit outlined in I Corinthians 12. Paul wrote to the Corinthians to help things in order; for they were all out of order. The gift of tongues outlined in I Corinthians 12 is part of the nine gifts of the Spirit. Every believer who received the HolyGhost may not have the gift of tongues. While a person will speak in tongues when they receive the HolyGhost according to Acts 2:4 and Acts 2:38, he or she may not have the gift of tongues. I have never witnessed where one speaks in tongues in the congregation and there was no one who could interpret what was said. I understood what you documented from I Corinthians 14. I agree. Again, there are nine gifts: 1) word of wisdom; 2) word of knowledge; 3) gift of faith; 4)gifts of healing; 5)working of miracles; 6) gift of prophecy; 7) discerning of spirits; 8) divers kinds of tongues; and 9) interpretaion of tongues. These gifts are operating in the church today. I have witnessed all nine in operation in the body of Christ. They are in people. Some people may have one gift; while others have multiple gifts. God has set them in the church to edify the body of Christ and bring glory to Him. Tongues are not forbidden in the body of Christ; and all should seek to bring glory to God by edifying the church. Prophesy edifies the church; tongues edify an individual believer. We should all, if do not posess the interpretation( not a translation) of tongues, pray that we may interpret. Again, I have witnessed all nine gifts in operation. You can interpret if you desire that gift from God. Trust me, I know. But we should desire spiritual gifts to bring glory to God and to edify or encourage the fellow believer. Again, God is still fulfilling prophesy ( Joel 2:28). Christians need the leaders of the body of Christ to teach them what is proper and orderly.
In the 7th Seal, the Trumpets are introduced. This Seal signifies the last days of the Great Tribulation of Matthew 24. The Trumpets sound at the very last hour of the Tribulation. Then the Bowls of the Wrath of God are found in the last Trumpet. It is that last hour that is referred to as The Day of The Lord or Day of His Wrath. See 14:7.
In any case, Genesis 37:9 is a reference to people, more specifically, Joseph's brothers. Now, although the reference in Judges 5:20 appears to be to Angels, it is more specifically a reference to earthly Kings at war.
In Revelation 22:16, Jesus refers to Himself as The Bright and Morning Star.
Joel 2:10 seems to be speaking of more than just stars. It is speaks of the powerful and influential, whose luster, whose brightness, whose power, appeal and influence are diminished by the army of God. But who is that army? It is an army of people.
Again, who is the star in Revelation 9:1?
I hope this answers your question. But keep in mind that in everyday speak and historically, we sometimes refer to prominent people as stars, too.
Thanks for asking. It would be good to hear your opinion on this also.
Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; (This is toward the end of the tribulation)
TV preachers will do anything to get you to buy their books for only 19.95
when this happens we shall all know it and you will not need to buy a book from a TV preacher to understand it.
Matthew 1:21 - And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. IS Jesus wrong that you use YESHUA? So is the Bible "mistranslated''? An angel of the Lord said to use this name. By what authority does anyone else have to use another? Just curious is all.
Act 4:12 - Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
It was our Glorious and Blessed Lord Christ Messiah Yeshua - who had truly already come in the flesh once and for all time to come who had closed out the Old Testament age - Kingdom of Heaven Genesis / 4 Gospels included / water baptism from John - was for the Jewish people of that day and time only - not the gentiles = Rightly Divided - while on the cross had kicked open the new age of His Divine Grace of the Temporary age of the Gentiles on the Day of Pentecost - book of Acts - was the transition into it = - Holy Spirit = speaking in Tongues - = Romans through Jude / STOP. Why ? Because the book of Revelation transitions back to the Kingdom of Heaven age book of Revelation.
Look into Jewish traditions like Kabbalah. Look at the Chabad Lubavitch group they teach that kabbalah is the soul of judaism they claim.
They call Jesus Yeshu which is a curse actually.
the new testament was written in Greek and not Hebrew and anyone who refuses to use the name of Jesus, the name that devils tremble at, is suspect in my opinion.
Q: Did Jesus take the Kingdom of God from the Jews?
A: Mathew 21:43 : Therefore say I (Jesus speaking to the Jews) unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
What nation? Greeks who spread the gospel while it was unbelieving jews who tried to stop it. Read Paul's writings
Proverb 31:4-9
He had a radical conversion; testimony. He went right into evangelizing. Then he got the call by Jesus to evangelize the new elect of God; the Gentiles. It's in Romans if you want to verify.
The Election will return to the Jews as soon as the Times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. Only God, the Father, knows when that will be.
Presently, the dispersed Jews are returning to their homeland in Israel. More and more, we are going to read on Google (because our national news media avoids Jewish prophesies with a 100 ft stick)... that the nations are linking up to destroy Israel off the face of the map.

Israel wasn't divorced, they were punished by God 7 times (7x 360 day/yrs = 2,520 years) according to Deuteronomy 26.
1) The house of Israel were taken into captivity by Assyria in 721 BC + 2,520 years = 1,799 Ephraim became the British empire, and America (Manasseh) would come out of his twin brother. The US is a Corporation owned by London; The Act of 1871.
2) Then, the house of Judah were taken captive to Babylon in 604 BC +2,520 years = 1917 Balfour Declaration, where Britain (Japheth born Rothschild) bought the false Ashkenazi Khazar Jews a home on land they had no claim to. Gen 10:2-3

In this chapter we see Joel again warning of the approaching judgment of sinners emphasizing how time was running out. In making application we see that the Lord extends grace for repentance for a specific period of time. Just as we do not know the specific time of the second coming of the Lord we do not know if we will have more than one opportunity to respond to the Lord when convicted of our sin. All we know is that today is the day of repentance. How about you? Do you see that the we are not promised tomorrow. Let us learn from our text today and the warning from Joel to see that there is a time when we will no longer have the opportunity to repent reminding us that today is day of repentance.
Tim,
I would like to share with you my understanding of Matthew Chapter 24. Matthew Chapters 24 and 25 deal with the end-time prophecies. There are four sections in Chapter 24 that represent the 70th week of Daniel.
Section 1: "The Pains of Birth" Verses 4-14. Section 2: Matthew 24:15 is "The Pivotal Point." Section 3: Matthew 24:16-28, "The Perils of Tribulation." And then fourthly, Verses 29 to 31 is "The Promise of His Coming," given to us in Isaiah 13:10 and 34:4, Joel 2:10 and 3:15, 7:13, Isaiah 27:13, and Zechariah 12:10.
Beginning at verse 3 of Chapter 24, the disciples are looking for answers as to when these things are going to happen. Jesus then begins answering, and from Verses 4-14, He gives the details of the first 3-1/2 years of the tribulation, known as the pains of birth. In Verse 15, we have the pivotal point, the abomination of desolation.
Then in Verse 16, we see that Jesus is talking to Jewish believers. Actually, I believe the entire Chapter is given to Jewish believers. But Jesus tells them to flee. Verses 16 to 28 talk about the perils of tribulation, the last 3-1/2 years of the 7 year Tribulation period. It's going to be a very severe time.
Verse 22 is showing us that if God did not have a time period when He says okay I am going to stop, everybody would be wiped out.
But for the sake of the elect, a special word brought over from the O.T. as a title for the Jewish people. They are His elect people. It doesn't mean they are all saved but they are His chosen people. He realizes there are 144,000 of them out there, plus all the others who believed, and this is something that is going to happen in the last part of the tribulation period.
Verses 29-31, we have the promise of His coming. I recently shared the actual 7 Steps of a Jewish Wedding. If we understand those 7 steps, it helps to understand the coming of Christ and some of the Jewish views about when Christ is coming back. Those steps are fascinating!
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit." Joel 2:28,29 (KJV) READ IT ALL...
"And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come." Joel 2:30,31 (KJV).
In the 7th Seal, the Trumpets are introduced. This Seal signifies the last days of the Great Tribulation of Matthew 24. The Trumpets sound at the very last hour of the Tribulation. Then the Bowls of the Wrath of God are found in the last Trumpet. It is that last hour that is referred to as The Day of The Lord or Day of His Wrath. See 14:7.
In any case, Genesis 37:9 is a reference to people, more specifically, Joseph's brothers. Now, although the reference in Judges 5:20 appears to be to Angels, it is more specifically a reference to earthly Kings at war.
In Revelation 22:16, Jesus refers to Himself as The Bright and Morning Star.
Joel 2:10 seems to be speaking of more than just stars. It is speaks of the powerful and influential, whose luster, whose brightness, whose power, appeal and influence are diminished by the army of God. But who is that army? It is an army of people.
Again, who is the star in Revelation 9:1?
I hope this answers your question. But keep in mind that in everyday speak and historically, we sometimes refer to prominent people as stars, too.
Thanks for asking. It would be good to hear your opinion on this also.

Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; (This is toward the end of the tribulation)
TV preachers will do anything to get you to buy their books for only 19.95
when this happens we shall all know it and you will not need to buy a book from a TV preacher to understand it.
I just saved you 19.95.
Act 4:12 - Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
They call Jesus Yeshu which is a curse actually.
the new testament was written in Greek and not Hebrew and anyone who refuses to use the name of Jesus, the name that devils tremble at, is suspect in my opinion.
Q: Did Jesus take the Kingdom of God from the Jews?
A: Mathew 21:43 : Therefore say I (Jesus speaking to the Jews) unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
What nation? Greeks who spread the gospel while it was unbelieving jews who tried to stop it. Read Paul's writings
