I'm very familiar w/the 70 weeks of Daniel. Daniel 9th Chapter. The 3 half years out of a week is talking about a prophetic week & a literal week. Jesus was cut off/killed in the midst of a prophetic week AND a literal week, What we know as a Wednesday. So he didn't finish his ministry. Jesus came to testify about what was written in the Old Testament. He taught 3 half years and was killed & that ended the animal sacrificial law.
(So when I said he will teach natural born Israel in the wilderness 3 half yrs upon his return, that other 3 half years makes the 7yrs which represents a full week of his ministry. 7 years is a prophetic week. (please reference the story of Jacob and Rachel in Genesis 29:16-27 to understand what I mean by this. (7yrs is 1 week)
In Daniel 10 (For Jesus to have been annointed the "Messiah" was 69 weeks, which left 1 more week (7yrs) a prophetic week.)(This about Jesus, Jerusalem, and the children of Israel, not the anti-Christ nor a 7yr tribulation. Jesus was annointed the Messiah in 26A.D(69 weeks) and cut off in 30 A.D. (70th week/7yrs/7th week)
Revelation 12:1;6;14 (This is talking about natural born Israel in the place of safety(The Wilderness) during the Great Tribulation. 3 1/2 yrs.
On Paul and John. II Corinthians 12:2 (Jesus was the ONLY man who was on earth then caught up to the 3rd heaven. So Paul is talking about how he saw Jesus in his spiritual body. Paul is not talking about himself. And John saw a vision of the Throne. He was not physically there.
John 3:13 No man has ascended up to heaven but he who ascended out of heaven. (if any man other than Jesus is in heaven right now then Jesus lied; he cannot lie so we should all know the dead is still dead and their spirit is not conscious in heaven presently able to communicate with any being).
Psalms 104:23; 28-29 Man dies/returns to the dust. Ecclesiastes 12:1;5;7 Man goes back to the dust;his spirit goes to God. (spirit is simply the breath of life).
I will do my best to keep God's calendar and not the ridiculous Gregorian calendar that has everyone fouled up.
The Book of Enoch from the Dead Sea Scrolls gives us the Solar Priestly Calendar.
The Book of Enoch covers topics on the solar priestly calendar, origins of demons and giants, why some angels fell from heaven, an explanation of why the Great Flood was morally necessary, and the thousand-year reign of the Messiah.
The Book of Jude speaks of these fallen angels and Enoch is mentioned as having preached against them ( Jude 1: 14-15).
Sabbath days remain constant on the Enoch calendar in relation to the spring equinox; but they will rotate on the Gregorian calendar.
Enoch lived 365 years (and possibly .242)
The spring equinox is the great equalizer of the calendar and is the leap day that rectifies the calendar every year (day 365.242), look at (Ps. Ch. 19)
March 20, 2020 (sunrise to sunrise) was the 365th day of the solar year (the day of the spring equinox), making March 21, 2020 the first day of the first month of the New Year (and the 4th day of the week)
The 364 day Enoch solar calendar runs off the 365.242 day solar cycle
When does the day start? Look at ( Gen 1:16, 18, 19:33, 34, Ex. 10:13, 16:22-27,
We are specifically commanded to use the SUN as the sign for days, Sabbaths, months, years, Sabbaths of years, jubilees, and feasts, and for all seasons of the year.
The LUNAR cycle for the year is 354 days
The Enoch solar calendar is 364 days (+ 365th and day of spring equinox)
The moon is to be for light upon the earth at night ( Gen. 1:14, Psalms 136:9, Jeremiah 31:35), for seasons ( Psalms 104:19), and for a witness to the covenant of David ( Psalms 89:37).
The ONLY calendar that can reckon Daniel's 70 weeks is the Enoch calendar.
Froilan, we're unsure who founded the Church in Rome & it appears that even though Paul had written this great epistle to them, he was not the founder. He wrote this letter probably around the late AD 50s & the Church consisted mainly of Gentile converts.
Paul was anxious to minister in this Church which was widely known & their faith well reported of ( Rom 1:8), so he wrote this letter to prepare them for his planned visit, which of course never materialized. That was because Paul was arrested in Jerusalem & though he was then sent to Rome as a prisoner (early AD 60s), he never got to visit the Church there. We think that Phoebe, from the Corinthian Church, may have been the carrier of his letter (16:1) to Rome. So this letter comes to instruct the believers further in their knowledge of Jesus & to encourage them to live victoriously in a heathen environment.
When examining this great letter, we see that it is more formal than his other letters, as he sets out some important doctrines, chiefly, the doctrine of Justification by Faith & its ramifications. The letter's theme is The Righteousness of God (1:16,17). He then goes on to discuss: natural revelation (1:19,20), universal sin (3:9-20), justification (3.24), propitiation (3:25), faith (chap 4), original sin (5:12), union with Christ (chap 6), election & rejection of Israel (chaps 9-11), spiritual gifts (12:3-8), & respect for the government (13:1-7).
There was a song that had Psalm104:15 in it during charismatic renewal. Does anyone remember the words to it? The last part of the little song was "and oil to make my face to shine".
Carlos, your questions: "what does the Bible say happened to the Tree of Knowledge? As an aside, here is another example of allegory. Psalms 104:4, Hebrews 1:7, "Now about the angels He says: "He makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire."" So, if that is literal, how long were the Angels there protecting the Tree of Life? And if these trees are no longer there, were they cut down? What happened to them? Did more trees of knowledge grow there?"
My answers: we're not told what happened to that tree. The Psalms & Hebrews references: clearly metaphorical, but if one had to insist they were not, I wouldn't dispute it as I can't ascertain any other Scripture to support their view. No idea how long the Angels were protecting the Tree of Life: we're not told. Were they cut down, what happened to them or did more trees of knowledge grow there? No idea, except for Rev 2 & 22 references to the Tree of Life.
My connection of Adam to Christ was purely as two who possessed a sinless nature. Both had the capability to be tempted, one failed, the other passed.
My "assumption that God wanted to shield Adam and Eve from Knowledge of Good and Evil, to keep them innocent". Yes, this is my assumption based on the fact that God said to them that if they ate of the fruit or even touched it, they would die. Of course, they didn't die immediately, but sin entered & they died spiritually & eventually, physically. So, death was the direct product of disobedience & sin, but my assumption from the reading is that, since God selected that particular tree for them to stay away from, there is also the thought, that they being debarred from such knowledge was paramount in maintaining their innocence which was in God's design for mankind.
God didn't send "the most corrupt thing in His Creation into the garden". Satan came to it of his own volition & in his plan.
Truly, the Lord God is supreme. He is in total control. Let all therefore submit and worship Him.
Only God can be attributed those claims; therefore, it’s God’s sovereignty that makes Him superior to all other gods and makes Him, and Him alone, worthy of worship.
How manifold is thy works Lord thru wisdom you've done them all and on this earth are full of thy riches .JEHOVA JIREH THE LORD MY PROVIDER I will praise you Jesus forever for you are worthy Shalom amen
This is a most interesting psalm where all the qualities of the Almighty God is defined for you to appreciate. It goes further to let you understand the extra gifts of bread,wine and oil that gives strength and gladdens the heart of man. It is a psalm of life's needs met on your daily living. if I have my way, I will recite this psalm everyday.
WOW! This whole chapter give the earth, humans, and beasts great examples of how ..., ..., ..., GOD is, therefore Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with Honour and Majesty. Amen. WOW.
V. 1 - " ......."O Lord my God ......."; As I read this just now - it brought to mind Thomas, "My Lord and my God." Thomas was a Jew and would NEVER called Jesus "my Lord AND my God" if he hadn't believed Jesus was - God the creator of everything - Deut. 6:4.
Ps 104: 2,3 Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain,...who maketh the clouds his chariot, who walketh upon the wings of the wind.
These verses are some of the very most beautiful in the entire bible. The whole chapter is wonderful. The last verse is interesting to dream about as well.
yes ,my dear brothers and sisters after reading this psalm 104 it is clear that lord jesus is the only one who designed the earth and its belongings ,so let us all not forget his deeds forever and praise him till our last breath
Psalms 104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. Ecclesiastes 3:20 All go unto one place all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Jeremiah 32:27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
"All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all". O Lord my God, how great thou art.
Revelations, etc. tells us the earth will be destroyed, then a new earth will be built. Psalms 104:5 says it will not be removed forever. V. 5 does not say the earth will never be destroyed.
Jacob Kofi Kissi somuah on Psalms 104 - 10 years ago
How wonderful and marvelous are thy works Oh God. For He sent forth His spirit and they are created. Ps. 104 30. Creation came into being from where? The sea came into being from where? From where comes the galaxy? This hanging planet earth came into being from where? The air we breathe that gives free oxygen for our sustenance flows from where? You are indeed wonderful and marvelous God.

See if any of those are your song
I just hum the ones I can't remember well or I make up my own lyrics for the tune. It happens to everyone.
Magnify his wonderful name
For the glory of the Lord is mine forever
Jesus is ever the same
For the Lord has set me free
And given me liberty, to tell the world that Jesus is mine,
He has given me the wine to make my heart rejoice
And the oil to make my face to shine
