The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.
Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7
Isaiah 6:8
Romans 1:20
Colossians 2:9
Acts 17:27-30
1 John 5:7
John 10:30
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"
Genesis 1:1
The Father purposes
The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)
The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.
All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel.
Matthew 1:23
"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."
Jesus came to bring to each born again believer; the baptism and the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.
[ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3, John 16: 7-15]
To REFUSE this knowledge, is to reject the Son of God, and his provision.
PS. I have these scriptures noted on the inside cover of my Bible.
1 John 5:7-9, For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son." John 1:1-18, And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
In each of the matters you raised, there is an answer that can be given. Without sharing much detail here, the Apocrypha (I think you're referring to the OT Apocrypha written in those 'silent years' between the testaments), was not recognized by Jews in general, & if it has been omitted from Bibles, it was because those books failed certain tests that were applied to them; tests of authorship, doctrine, reliability, etc.
And then we have the NT Apocrypha (in the post-Apostolic years), which for the most part are error-ridden with very wrong teaching (Gospels of Thomas, Barnabas, etc.).
I think you're thinking of 1 John 5:7 as an example of a verse included in the KJV. Other Bible versions that have this verse omitted have done so because it doesn't appear in some older manuscripts. Whereas the KJV is translated from a later manuscript (Textus Receptus) as it was overall much more reliable, even though the view was "the older the better". And indeed, this verse is clearly in full agreement with John's Gospel concerning the Word of God.
Scriptures such as 2 Timothy 3:10 & Acts 2:42 which speak of the 'apostles' doctrine', can be clearly understood & appreciated as not a special or new doctrine by the apostles, but simply their 'teaching' which they received from Jesus & His Spirit. And this doctrine (teaching) they faithfully passed on to the new Church so that they would be well founded. Sadly, many entered the Church not confirming this doctrine, bringing their own deformed teaching, thus leading many astray. Hence the pressure on the epistle writers to alert the believers & bring them back onto the true doctrine of Christ.
So, if we have such doubts over the Scriptures, you can be assured that there are well-researched answers given to allay any fears & to strengthen our belief & stand on the Word.
Respond: Believe, Repent, Confess, Accept Jesus as Lord and Savior
To be saved, we must believe that Jesus is Lord and believe that He died for our sins. This confession acknowledges before God that we are unable to attain righteousness on our own and that we accept His plan for our lives.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. Amen! Acts 16:31
Yet to all who receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. Book of John 1:12
[Dear God, I believe in you and that your Son, Jesus Christ, is Lord. I believe in His sacrifice for my sins and His resurrection from the dead. I repent and ask forgiveness for my sins and I'm deciding now to follow you. Please, come into my life through the gift of your Holy Spirit. It is in the Lord Jesus' name that I ask and receive, Amen.]
The Bible says doing these things with sincerity means YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN. (Follow Jesus) and you will have eternal life in heaven.
1 John 5:13
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Use caution in trusting your feelings, as feelings change. Stand on God's promises- they never change. If you backslide, pray a prayer to re-commit.

1 John 1:6-10, 1 John 2:1
I am curious to know where you encountered this concept.
To be equal with God we must first judge God's value and merit.
One quick response is that the Jews sought to stone Jesus when they perceived His claim of equality with God, as in John 5:18.
Also look at
I John 3:20 - God is greater than our hearts
Psalm 61:2 - God is higher than us
Psalm 89:27 - God will make Christ higher than the kings of the Earth
Ecclesiastes 5:8 - God is higher than the highest
If you will know them by their fruits, let's look to our ways;
Isaiah 55:9 - God's ways are infinitely higher than ours
Job 15:6 - We are unclean
Isaiah 64:6 - NOTHING we do could measure up to God's righteousness
That is a very big and significant thing to say, to claim anyone as an equal with God.
As a comparison, there is one very heretical sect which believes we will judge God.
Clearly, just based upon the references I have listed, their claim is not the least bit credible.
Such statements cannot stand of their own merit nor of that of their speaker.
Equality with God or standing in judgment of God would be enormous claims requiring substance to back them up.
Big claims are either big truths or big falsehoods. Not everyone can determine the difference.
You may or may not be a great theologian or an academic authority.
Even such titles wouldn't be enough for a common joe like me.
Being that this is a Biblical site, answers of that magnitude carry credibility only when they are backed by Scriptural reference.
Otherwise;
If I wanted to debate you, it would be difficult because I don't see here where your basis is or how to clarify a dissent.
If I wanted to agree with you, well, again, your basis is not shown, so I would be at some degree of loss in composing a reply.
On any subject, but especially such a profound claim, let authority be Sola Scriptura and let Scripture interpret Scripture.

[ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3, John 16: 7-15]
"Can God die?" No, God is Spirit, He cannot die and none in the spirit realm can die since no physical body is present. One day we will die because our aging bodies must perish. But our spirits which cannot die, will return to God ( Ecclesiastes 12:7).
But Jesus died, because God chose to send forth His Word to us a sinful people. And that Word became flesh ( John 1:14) & He was named Jesus ( Matthew 1:21-25), so that the people not only had God's final Word to them coming in human form ( John 8:42,43), but He also came as a man for the "suffering of death" ( Hebrews 2:9), that He should "taste death for every man". And this, Jesus did for us, so that when we believe on Him, confessing our sins, God will forgive us & accept us, only because He accepted His Son's death as a full & complete payment for our sins ( John 3:16-18).
So God Who is Spirit cannot die, but when He sent His Word to become a man, then yes, God did give us His life for us. But as you may know, the account doesn't end there: Jesus arose from death & the grave, ascended to Heaven in His glorified body & is seated now at God's right Hand where His Testimony is ever present before all in Heaven & Earth ( Hebrews 10:12; 7:25) - God's sacrificial Lamb Who was once slain and is now the only reason for our acceptance by God.
This by the Bible can not be confirmed, Daniel told when the Messiah would come Daniel 9:25, 483/476.4 years from the going forth to rebuild Jerusalem and the walls. They went forth around 446 BC minus 476.4 360-day years=29 AD. If you take in Luke 3 it was the 15 th year of Tiberius Caesar who came to be emperor 14 AD, which also puts it in 29 AD. Also, Pontius Pilate ruled from 26-36 A.D. The start of John the Baptist ministry.
Jesus went to 3 Passovers John 2:13, John 5:1, John 6:4 The fourth Passover He was crucified, John19:14. That would put 1080 days from the first Passover Jesus after he was baptized by John the Baptist. This leaves 180 days so, this would put the baptizing of Jesus in the month of Tehri, September- October our months. 40 days of temptation and then choosing the twelve will put them before the wedding in Cana of Galilee and the first Passover Jesus went after He was baptized by John the Baptist.
Jesus gave up the ghost at 3 PM the ninth hour on 14 th day of Nisan the 5 th day of the week. Jesus' ministry was 42 months or 1260 days. God placed Jesus at the exact day and month of the year the first Passover was done in Egypt. Jesus went into Jerusalem on the 10 th of Nisan the day the lambs were taken up and held until Passover.
Jesus was placed on the cross at 9 AM the same time the first Tamid lamb was sacrificed and put on the altar. All during that day, all the people's sin offerings were placed on the altar. Jesus gave up the ghost at 3 PM the same time the last Tamid lamb was placed on top of all the sin offerings for that day on the altar. The First and Last. Also, the time the priest started catching the blood of people's Passover lambs and pouring it on the altar.
If God caused just the things I listed to be done at the exact time. If God wanted these dates to match to the exact second, it would have been so. May you have a purpose for your question. All is possible through faith in Jesus Christ.

Why did Jesus not sin.
He tells us:
John 5:30 I can of mine own self DO NOTHING: as I hear, I judge, and my judgement is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father that hath sent me.
Jesus knew and believed that whatever he was doing, it was the Father doing it THROUGH him.
Jesus tells us the same thing:
John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me you can DO NOTHING.
The TRUTH IS whatever you are doing right now, IS THE WILL OF GOD.
He knows EXACTLY how to bring and conform each of us to the likeness if Christ. It's HIS WORKS.
We are the POT, he is the POTTER.
Pots are made to hold something:
CHRIST IN YOU
Satan is a wise in Torah,he is wiser than Daniel the prophet,as GOD revealed to Ezekiel 28:1-3,and he will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God,or that is worshipped;so that he as God will sit in the temple of God,shewing himself that he is God.He will be the future guide of the esoteric,and kabbalistic,and spiritist Judaism,and as"messiah" he will be the most important ruler of Israel.
The false messiah will use all structures of the Roman Catholic Church in the 7 regions of the Earth;I mean,Europe,Asia, Africa,Oceania(Australia),North America,Central Amrica,and South America(7 regions)for establishing a MONSTROUS religious and satanic Empire,the Antichrist's kingdom.
By the way,the false messiah,enthroned in Jerusalem,the great city called spiritually Sodom and Egypt-Rev.11:8-,in the FIRST HALF of the last week of 7 years-Dan.9:v.27,he will give to the guide of the RCC, the Pope, his Power,and his Throne(IN JERUSALEM),and great Authority-Rev.13:v.2.
The false messiah-Satan-son of perdition and MAN of sin,he will exerciseth all the power of the FIRST Beast(the Pope) before him,and causeth the earth(Israel)and them which dwell therein to worship the first(MAN)Beast(the Pope enthroned by him in JERUSALEM),whose deadly wound was(will be)healed.Rev.13:v.12.
13 And he doeth(will do)great wonders,so that he(will)make fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And(will)deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the Beast;saying to them that dwell on the earth(Israel),that they should make an image to the Beast(the Pope),which had the wound by a Sword,and did live.
The fulfilment of above will begin after the death of Pope Francis so soon.
Really the God's people, much more now, need a lot of wisdom, it because Satan will manifest himself in Israel disguised as messiah, IN FACT an esoteric, and kabbalistic, and spiritist messiah, actually AN IMPOSTER - John 5:v.43. Satan is a wise in Torah, he is wiser than Daniel the prophet, as GOD revealed to Ezekiel 28:v.1-3, and he will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God will sit in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. He will be the future guide of the esoteric, and kabbalistic, and spiritist Judaism, and as "messiah" he will be the most important ruler of Israel, inclusive he will use all structures of the Roman Catholic Church in the 7 regions of the Earth; I mean, Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania(Australia), North America, Central Amrica, and South America (7 regions) for establishing a MONSTROUS religious and satanic Empire, the Antichrist's kingdom. By the way, the false messiah, enthroned in Jerusalem, the great city called spiritually Sodom and Egypt-Rev.11:v.8-, in the first half of the last week of 7 years-Dan.9:v.27, he will give to the guide of the RCC, the Pope, his Power, and his Throne, and great Authority-Rev.13:v.2.
The false messiah-Satan-son of perdition and MAN of sin, he will exerciseth all the power of the first Beast(the Pope) before him, and causeth the earth(Israel)and them which dwell therein to worship the first(MAN)Beast(the Pope),whose deadly wound was(will be)healed.Rev.13:v.12.
13 And he doeth (will do)great wonders,so that he(will)make fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And(will)deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the Beast;saying to them that dwell on the earth(Israel),that they should make an image to the Beast(the Pope),which had the wound by a Sword, and did live.
The fulfilment of above will begin after the death of Pope Francis very soon.
The Christians believers must be focused in the signs of the END of this WORLD and return of the Lord JESUS Christ. Soon we will enter in the period of 7 days known as the last week-Dan.9:v.27. The Word is God, what is written will fulfill LITERALLY.
Matthew 24:1-8
1 Jesus went out,and departed from the temple:and his disciples came to Him for to shew Him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them,See ye not all these things?verily I say unto you,There shall not be left here one stone upon another,that shall not be thrown down.
(This prophecy fulfilled LITERALLY in the year 70AD,and Israel was banned from their land during 1878 years,in fulfilment Deuteronomy 28:15-68).
3 And as JESUS sat upon the mount of Olives,the disciples came unto him privately,saying,Tell us,when shall these things be?
- and what shall be THE SIGN of thy coming?
- And of the END of the world?
Here's the signs listed by JESUS:
4 And Jesus answered:
- Take heed that no man deceive you. (this was the first concerns of JESUS)
5 For many shall come in my name,saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
-(Soon will manifest the Beast of the earth who has two horns like a lamb,actually a false lamb,a false messiah,AN IMPOSTER,as said JESUS- John 5:v.43 combined with Rev.13:v.11.(Check it)
6 And ye shall hear of WARS and RUMOURS of WARS:see that ye be not troubled:for all these things must come to pass,but the END is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation,and kingdom against kingdom:and there shall be famines,AND PESTILENCES,and earthquakes in divers places.
NATION SHALL RISE AGAINST NATION, AND KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM
Will be G7,and G20,and EU,and UNO,among others Entities,DISSOLVED from now on?According 2Pe.3:11&12,day after day the HAPPENINGS in this World will go in this direction.
v.8 - All these are the beginning of sorrow. -Yeah,THE WORST will come yet,in near future.
Is it written in the Word of GOD? Then will fulfill LITERALLY. The Word is GOD
What does the Word of GOD say?
Revelation 13:v.11 to 18
11 And I beheld another Beast (MAN BEAST)coming up out of the earth;and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a Dragon. (In fact a false lamb, a false messiah- John 5:v.43- an esoteric, and kabbalistic, and spiritist messiah who will manifest in Israel, the MAN of sin, son of perdition)
12 And he (will)exerciseth all the power of the FIRST Beast(THE BEAST OF SEA)before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the FIRST(MAN)Beast, whose deadly wound was (will be) healed.
13 And he doeth (will do) great wonders, so that he maketh (will make) fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the Beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the (MAN)Beast, which had the wound by a Sword (by the Word of GOD), and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the Beast, that the image of the (MAN) Beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the Beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the NAME of the(MAN)Beast, or the number of his NAME.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast: for it is the number of a MAN; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Was Satan, son of perdition, born? Yes, he was, of course, decades ago. Don't you know that Satan has already been born? 2 Thessalonians 2:v.3-4 - Now, now, he was born decades ago and is about to manifest himself very soon, do you know where? It's good to know and be prepared for the battle.
Be careful and get ready.
1 John 5:v.9 and 7:
9 - If we receive the witness of men, the witness of GOD is greater:...
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father -GOD the Father-, the Word-the Word made flesh-JESUS-, and the Holy Spirit (who is not a ghost as is written in English language, but a Person-the Paraclete; the Comfort; John 16:v.7 to 15): and these three are One.
Many have heard to speak of GOD, but know not Him, neither know JESUS. JESUS left very clear, saying: Matt.11:v.27-No man KNOWETH the Son, but the Father; neither KNOWETH ANY MAN the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.
1 Corinthians 2:v.11 - For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
The door of salvation is already closing, day after day, slowly, and many will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. Terrible. Terrible.
Brother D W L quoted Matt.3:v.10 around 12 or 13 hours ago, that says: "the axe is laid unto the root of the trees".
Luke 13:v.25-27
25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are;
28 Then there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth...
Greetings in Christ
Hate and reward.Yes, Mat.10:22 and 3:10 you quoted both will fulfill LITERALLY now in the END of the times,according to the warnings and promises of our Lord JESUS.
The Christians believers must be focused in the signs of the END of this WORLD and return of the Lord JESUS Christ.Soon we will enter in the period of 7 days known as the last week-Dan.9:v.27.The Word is God,what is written will fulfill LITERALLY.

7 For nation shall rise against nation,and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines,and pestilences,and earthquakes,in divers places.
Will be G7 and G20,and EU,and UNO,among others Entities,DISSOLVED from now on?According 2Pe.3:11&12,day after day the events in this World will go in this direction.
But
8 All these are the beginning of sorrow
Peter the Apostle of the Lord JESUS said: But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2Peter 3:v.8
Do you imagine that GOD created THE SUN in the fourth Day? Or two thousand years ago? It is true that GOD the Father was still working two thousand years ago, as JESUS revealed in John 5:v.17. JESUS said: My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
But it is evident that the LITERAL SUN was not created in the fourth Day or two thousand years ago. I'm sure that the only SUN created in the fourth Day was the SUN of righteousness, according the Word GOD gave to the prophet Malachi
and he prophesied, saying: 4:v.2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
Footnotes - 1599 Geneva Bible
Malachi 4:2 Meaning, Christ, who with his wings or beams of his grace should lighten and comfort his Church, Eph. 5:14, and he is called the sun of righteousness, because in himself he hath all perfection and also the justice of the Father dwelleth in him: whereby he regenerateth us unto righteousness, cleanseth us from the filth of this world, and reformeth us to the image of God.
Malachi 4:2 Ye shall be set at liberty, and increase in the joy of the Spirit, 2 Cor. 3:17.
Have you ever perceived that JESUS came in the fourth Day? By the way, JESUS left very clear saying in the fourth Day when He came: My Father worketh hitherto, and I work- John 5:v.17. Even JESUS is saying and calling Himself as the Greater Light in Genesis 1. When JESUS came in the fourth Day He said: John 12:v.45-46:
45 - He that seeth me seeth Him that sent me. 46 I am come a light into the WORLD, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.- This event of JESUS coming was the fulfillment of Genesis 1:v.18 :...and GOD divide the light from the darkness:and God saw that it was good.19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth Day.
The Lesser Light is about the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, he has not light in he himself, his light comes from the Father throught JESUS, the Greater Light (by analogy physicaly the moon receives and reflects the light of the sun), as JESUS said: John 16:7-15:
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth;It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
...
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me:for he shall receive of mine,and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine:therefore said I, that he shall TAKE OF MINE,and shall shew it unto you.
Materialists confuse the biblical expression Greater Light and twist it when they say it is the Sun. Also they confuse the biblical expression Lesser Light and twist it when they say it is the Moon. Physically the Sun and the Moon have nothing to do with the biblical expression Greater Light and Lesser Light created in the fourth Day - Genesis 1:v.16, except for analogy.
About stars read Dan.12:v.3
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an EVANGELIST, make full proof of thy ministry.
John 9:4
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
John 5:17
But Jesus answered them, My Father works, and I work.
Mark 6:5
And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
Acts 21:8
...and we entered into the house of Philip the EVANGELIST, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
A "publisher of glad tidings;" a missionary preacher of the" "gospel ( Eph. 4:11). This title is applied to Philip ( Acts 21:8)," who appears to have gone from city to city preaching the word "(8:4, 40). Judging from the case of Philip, evangelists had" "neither the authority of an apostle, nor the gift of prophecy," nor the responsibility of pastoral supervision over a portion of "the flock. They were itinerant preachers, having it as their" special function to carry the gospel to places where it was previously unknown. The writers of the four Gospels are known as the Evangelists.
Isaiah 52:7
How beautiful upon the mountains are the FEET of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; see Rom. 10:15
1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and BE READY always to GIVE AN ANSWER to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is IN YOU...
John Chapter 15
18 If the world hate you, ye know it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I HAVE CHOSEN YOU out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 ...If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
Matthew 9:37
Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
JESUS had a great discussion with the Jews about Him himself. JESUS said to them: John 5:v. 37 to 47
37 The Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard His voice AT ANY TIME, nor seen His shape.
38 And ye have not His Word abiding in you: for whom He hath sent, him ye believe not.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which TESTIFY of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye MIGHT HAVE LIFE.
41 I receive not honour from MEN.
42 But I know you, that YE HAVE NOT THE LOVE OF GOD IN YOU.
43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not ( John 1:v.11): if another (AN IMPOSTER, A FALSE MESSIAH) shall come in his own name, HIM YE WILL RECEIVE.
44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another(human honours), and seek not the honour that cometh from GOD only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings,how shall ye believe my words?
Yeah, if ANOTHER (AN IMPOSTER, A FALSE MESSIAH)shall come in his own name,HIM THE JEWS WILL RECEIVE(this prophecy of the LORD will fulfill LITERALLY in near future)even him whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders-2Thes.2:v.9.Verses 10to12 reveal:
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong DELUSION, that they SHOULD BELIEVE A LIE:- believe in the false messiah-believe in the DRAGON(Rev.13:v.11-18);Who will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God will sit in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
That they all might be DAMNED who believed not the truth(believed not in JESUS
I heard a teaching from Chuck Missler on it a few years ago! He explained it similar.
He also said he believed it to be a double fulfillment of prophecy.
In John 5:43. Jesus says I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. Also speaking of the Antichrist.
Interesting.
Romans 14:8 For whether we LIVE, we LIVE unto the Lord; and whether we DIE, we DIE unto the Lord: whether we LIVE therefore, or DIE, we are the Lord's.
John 6:20 This is the bread that cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and NOT DIE.
John 11:26 And whosoever LIVETH and BELIEVETH in me shall never die. BELIEVEST THOU THIS?
Luke 20:36 Neither can they DIE any more (because they DIED with Christ on the cross): for they are EQUAL to the angels; and are the children of God, being the CHILDREN OF THE RESURRECTION.
Revelation 14:13 ....Blessed are the dead which DIE IN THE LORD from henceforth....
1 Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy to be destroyed is DEATH.
Christ resurrection DESTROYED DEATH. (For those that BELIEVE)
John 8:51 Verily, Verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my sayings, he shall NEVER SEE DEATH.
Matthew 16:28 Verily I say unto to you, There be some STANDING HERE (this was 2000 years age), which SHALL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, till they see the Son of man coming into his kingdom.
Colossians 1:27 ...THIS MYSTERY....CHRIST IN YOU....(The First SON OF GOD)
1 John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath LIFE; and he that hath not the Son HATH NOT LIFE.
Do these scriptures imply that we sleep and await and appointed time; or has our APPOINTED time ARRIVED upon the death of this earthly body.
You don't go to heaven; you BECOME a SON OF GOD. OMNIPRESENT not confined to one location or place.
What prevails is the Word of GOD. The Word is GOD, understand?
JESUS left very clear: Matt.11:v.28 - ... No MAN knoweth the Son -JESUS-, but the Father - GOD the FATHER-; neither knoweth any MAN the FATHER -GOD the FATHER-, save the Son -JESUS-, and he TO WHOMSOEVER the Son will reveal Him.
...The witness of GOD is greater ..., 1John 5:v.9. Yeah, the witness of GOD is greater; the Word is GOD, understand?
Rom.11:25-I would not,brethren,that ye should be ignorant of this MYSTERY...that blindness in part is happened to Israel,until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.The fulness of Gentiles is beginning within of this END time.
The FIRST half of Dan.9:v.27
Revelation 11:v.2 says:
2- The COURT which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the GENTILES(Gentiles nations guided by the Beast of sea):and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.(THIS PROPHECY WILL FULFILL LITERALLY IN VERY NEAR FUTURE)
Rev.13:v.5 combined with Rev.11:v.2
5 And there was given unto him (unto the Gentilic Beast of sea) a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two(42)months.(THIS IS THE PERIOD OF THE FIRST HALF OF THE LAST WEEK, AND IT WILL BE RULED BY THE BEAST OF SEA-REV.13:5)
All Gentile nations are under universal dominion of this satanic and religious MAN Beast of sea-who is the Papacy and the RCC which rides upon him-, the mighty satanic and religious MONSTER with 7 heads, and 10 horns and a name of blasphemy over his 7 heads-(that is, Vicarius Filli Dei)
The SECOND half of the last week of Dan.9:v.27
Dan.12:v.11,combined with Mat.24:v.15 and Rev.13:v.11-18, and 2 Thes.2:v.1-12, and John 5:43-Check it out
Dan.12:11-And from the time that the...abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.(2ND HALF OF THE LAST WEEK plus 30 days-whoso readeth,let him understand)
Rev.13:v.11-I beheld another Beast coming up out of the earth(Israel); and he has two horns like a lamb(a false messiah of the Jews- John 5:v.43),and he speaks as Dragon.2Thes.2:v.4&9-Who will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God,or that is worshipped;so that he as God will sit in the temple of God,shewing himself that he is God.Even him,whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders-Rev.13:13-14
Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7
Isaiah 6:8
Romans 1:20
Colossians 2:9
Acts 17:27-30
1 John 5:7
John 10:30
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"
Genesis 1:1
The Father purposes
The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)
The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.
All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel
Matthew 1:23
"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."
Jesus came to bring to each born again believer; the baptism and the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.
[ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3,
John 16: 7-15]
To REFUSE this knowledge, is to reject the Son of God, and his provision. Read all those scriptures before you decide. Jesus doesn't brainwash anybody. Ask His followers.
Mishael
Part 3
Jesus confirmed the last 3.5 years through His apostles ending when Stephen was killed, Paul was converted, Peter had his dream the conformation to Judah ended and the gospel was sent to the Gentiles. This fulfills the 70=weeks 490/483 years
We have been told to study, we are told to test the spirits, trust our teacher the Holy Spirit and pray. These are the six things that were determined on Judah and the holy city Jerusalem, a few verses that may help see if this has been fulfilled by Jesus.
1. To finish the transgression ( Isaiah 53:5, 8) ( Isaiah 53:11) ( Hebrews 9:15-18)
2. To make an end of sins ( Matthew 1:21) ( Hebrews 10:8-11) ( John 1:29) ( 1 Corinthians 15:3)
( 1 John 3:5) ( Psalm 32) ( Romans 8:3)
3. To make reconciliation for iniquity ( Colossians 1:20-22) ( Isaiah 53:6) ( Isaiah 53:11) ( Ephesians 2:16) ( Titus 2:14) ( 2 Corinthians 5:18-19)
4. To bring in everlasting righteousness ( Romans 5:17-21) ( Romans 3:21-26) ( 1Peter 2:24)
( 2 Corinthians 5:21) ( Isaiah 61:10-11)
5. To seal up vision and prophecy ( Daniel 9:23) ( John 6:27) ( Mark 1:14-15) ( Acts 3:18)
( John 5:36-40) ( Matthew 11:11-15)
6. To anoint the most holy ( Hebrews 8:1-12) ( Hebrews 9:6-14)
The 70 th week has been used along with other Bible verses to paint a fantastic picture of end times. The pre, mid, or post rapture of the Church, an antichrist, 7-year tribulation, 3.5-year covenant with Israel, a third temple, abomination of desolation, 3.5 years great tribulation after breaking covenant, and more. Many of these teachings started in the late 1600s. I hope this helps, if this prophecy has been fulfilled, it will show the falsehoods of these teachings because without using part of the 70 weeks prophecy given to Daniel, these teachings will fall apart.
Acts.3:18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
