The four kingdoms seen by the prophet Daniel:
#1 Babylon
#2 Medes and Persians
#3 Grecia
# 4 Kingdom of God
Man's doctrine teaches the seven years of anti-christ; God's word doesn't teach that.
Most misapply Revelations and Daniel, you have to put lots if other verses together to come to truth.
Like the puzzle you spoke of.
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach ...for the kingdom of heaven is AT HAND (HERE NOW).
According to man's teaching anti-christ is still future.
Revelation 22:10 ..the time is at hand.
Daniel spoke of FOUR kingdoms: Christ said the forth came when John began preaching.
This nullifies the anti-christ as the fourth kingdom; Daniel would have had to seen five kingdoms.
God Bless You!
Everything has an OPPOSITE.
The tree of KNOWLEDGE of good and evil (opposites).
The word Of God is BUILT AROUND PARABLES, tree, or trees, is signified (represents something other than what it is in the physical).
Christ is a Lamb, TREE OF LIFE ETC.
The New Testament parables teach that we are the garden of God (Eden). Isaiah 5:7 Ezekiel 31:8
The TREE of KNOWLEDGE of good and evil exist in the midst of the garden (CHRIST is this tree, as he is also the tree of Life) In the midst of the garden.
Colossians 1:27 ..this mystery ...CHRIST IN YOU ..
We have only knowledge of evil, until Christ (the Holy Ghost) releases, or causes, us to have the mind of Christ (then we sprout and eventually become a tree, also. Isaiah 6:13 Ezekiel 47:7 Revelation 22:1-2
There is ONLY ONE SPIRIT, but the KNOWLEDGE of that ONE SPIRIT contains both good and evil.
Genesis 3:22 ....the man has BECOME LIKE ONE OF US (the man has become like God) to know good and evil....
Before man ate (the words of God), which is the TREE of KNOWLEDGE (Christ), he was the Child of SATAN (no knowledge).
You are BORN AGAIN by THE WORD'S OF GOD.
1 Peter 1:23 BEING BORN AGAIN ....by the WORD'S OF GOD ...
Now Satan (DARKNESS)(lies, deception, falsehoods) has been DESTROYED and LIGHT SHINES FORTH.
Isaiah 45:7 I FORM THE LIGHT, AND CAUSE DARKNESS: I make peace, and create evil ..
Isaiah 9:2 The people that waked in DARKNESS, have seen a GREAT LIGHT ...
WHO IS SATAN?
1 Corinthians 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are PERFECT (born of truth), yet not the WISDOM OF THIS WORLD, nor of THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD (children of Satan living in lies, deception and falsehoods, children of death and the grave).
1 Corinthians 2:8 Which none of the PRINCES of this world knew, for had they known it, they would not have crucified the LORD OF GLORY.
Matthew 12:38 But if I (our God is a consuming FIRE) cast out devils (lies, deception, falsehoods) ...then the KINGDOM IS COME
Many claim the apocrypha should never have been included in the first place, raising doubt about its validity and believing it was not God-inspired (for instance, a reference about magic seems inconsistent with the rest of the Bible: Tobit chapter 6, verses 5-8). Others believe it is valid and that it should never have been removed- that it was considered part of the Bible for nearly 2,000 years before it was recently removed a little more than 100 years ago. Some say it was removed because of not finding the books in the original Hebrew manuscripts. Others claim it wasn't removed by the church, but by printers to cut costs in distributing Bibles in the United States. Both sides tend to cite the same verses that warn against adding or subtracting from the Bible: Revelation 22:18. The word 'apocrypha' means 'hidden.' Fragments of Dead Sea Scrolls dating back to before 70 A.D. contained parts of the apocrypha books in Hebrew, including Sirach and Tobit [source].
Keep this in mind when reading the following apocryphal books. Martin Luther said, "Apocrypha--that is, books which are not regarded as equal to the holy Scriptures, and yet are profitable and good to read." (King James Version Defended page 98.)".

First i find it very difficult to follow your thinking.
Second if a man sins and doesn't repent the blood of Jesus has no effect on him. It is a necessity to repent first. Not obeying God's commandments is a sin. Of course we are sand and fail many times, but that is why we are given Jesus's Blood to be forgiven and raised up and get on with our christian life. We will fail again and raised up again and so on .This will occur all the way untill death as we carry on life. BUT there is a difference between that and deliberately ignoring the written Word of God, and stay in iniquity because one chooses to follow his heart and not God's rules. Salvation can be lost Please pay attention to Revelation 22:18-19. In simple words God says that if somebody adds or subtracts from what is written in Revelation God will subtract his name from the book of life, and that is also true for the whole Word of God as well. God will not make you accountable if you don't know something but if you know it and delibareately disobey then my brother you have are in a big trouble...

Matthew 10:7,
Revelation 2:28 And I will give him the morning star.
Revelation 22:16 ....I am the the root and offspring if David, the bright and shining star.
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Revelation 1:20...the STARS are the ANGELS ....
Psalms 104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers (priest) a flaming fire:
Psalms 103:20 Bless the Lord, YE HIS ANGELS, who excel in strength, and do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

2 Timothy 4:3-4
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."
It's a fable or to go into some of the history, it belongs to a group of many (close to 40 or more) pseudepigraphal books that were written long after the original 66 books of scripture. Ethiopians, Mormons and other religions use the book of Enoch as an "extra" to their many other false religious works which often contradict the Bible. Some claim that the quote of Enoch by Jude are identical but that's not by mistake; the alikeness in the verses is due to the copyists who wrote Enoch used the quote from the book of Jude. The early church knew nothing of the existence of the book of Enoch as it didn't exist then.
The book of Revelation is the sum of everything in the Bible and everything to come. Look only to one Bible and the warning I gave before on this -- I give again (not from me but from God):
Revelation 22: 18 & 19
"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
Revelation 22:18
"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:"
Enoch has claims which would contradict portions of Revelation... so I'd not put into my reading list.
Isaiah 6:12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the land.
Isaiah 6:13 Yet in it (the land) shall be a TENTH, and it (the TENTH) shall return (with Christ), and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, an as an oak, whose (Christ) substance is in them (the TENTH), when they (the TENTH) cast their leaves: so the HOLY SEED (Christ) shall be the substance thereof.
Revelation 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bear twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month, and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Ezekiel 20:49 Then said I (Ezekiel),Ah Lord GOD! they(scriptures) say of me (Christ) Doth he (Christ) not speak parables?
Matthew 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitudes in parables; and without a parable he spake not unto them:
We know very well that much has been taken away from the Holy Scriptures. Which is a shame for the church.
"What is Christianity and what does God expect from Christians. Thank you so much we must never forgett what Jesus did at Calvary for us. And above all, His Spirit is with us as we live our lives. Then we have a hope of getting into the Heavenly housing.
Christian judgment: And all that that entails.
God expect from Christians That we preach about his Son Jesus Christ, live like Him and do good things for neighbors and do well to widows and fatherless. It also seems that we Christians must speak one word too much about Jesus! But He Himself doubts whether He will find any faith when He returns. Luke 18:8
What does it say more in God's Word, among other things: 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
So we must believe dear friend that everyone will do their best in handover. For on the fruits they should be felt:
Matthew 12:32-37 May the Lord Jesus Christ bless us all so that we all reach the goal. And keep faith and truth, light and life dear in our hearts. God bless us with His wisdom in a dark world. Love u in Christ.
"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." you deceive the world because of the tradition of men who are philosophers or theologians who don't follow after Christ. There is no such thing about Christianity, Theology, and Trinity literally found and written in the King James Version Holy Bible Edition 1611 not even as in the scrolls and manuscripts of Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic languages of the Holy Scriptures Book.
2 Peter 1
16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Revelation 22:18-19
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Question: "What is Christianity and what does God expect from Christians?"
Bible Answers
There are two parts to Christianity. The first is the journey to becoming a Christian and the second is living the Christian life.
False Answers and false theological concepts because there is no such thing about unbiblical or unscriptural word "Christianity" literally found and written in the King James Version Holy Bible Edition 1611.
Deuteronomy 4:2 (KJV)
"Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you."
Deuteronomy 12:32 (KJV)
"What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it."
Proverbs 30:5-6 (KJV)
5 "Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him."
6 "Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar."
Matthew 4:4
"But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
Revelation 22:18-19 (KJV)
18 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:"
19 "And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
The unscriptural word "Christianity" is not the mouth of God even as it is neither the word of God that is contradicted to the unscriptural word theology that is still not literally found and written in the King James Version Holy Bible Edition 1611 Period
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Ok, if you were a very bad anti-Christ spirit, would you add and delete things from the most used Bible in the world? Of course. You could be richer selling you're own version or brand.
Let us now memorize these next scriptures: REVELATION 22:18-21, Exodus 32:33, Deuteronomy 4:2 and 12:32
( good advise Deuteronomy 13:1-5 ), Gal. 1:8-9
I only buy Bibles that are published by THOMAS NELSON of Nashville.
You can find good Bibles on ABEbooks dot com. Read the description. You may want to upgrade to a KJV Bible Reference Bible. Preferably with center of each page, reference columns.
Two answers; yes some know that the are giving false doctrines. Here are some places in the bible you can fine this answer.
Revelation 22:18-19
God made it clear do not add and/or subtract his words and many preachers do.
Also check out 1 Timothy 6:3-10
It describes false preachers. Some have good intentions but their proud and envy stops them from the truth. Many false preachers pander to the flock even change the word so they will not leave.
A true preacher CAN NOT DO IT BY THEMSELVES. They have to have the Holy Spirit with and in them.
If you need more scriptures on this issue please let me know. I have other verses.
God bless you my friend.
I agree there is not any scripture that states at any time anyone goes to heaven. And Jesus is the only one who has gone to heaven from where He came John 3:13. Scriptures have been used to create a beautiful picture with the premise of not having to go through the tribulation that is coming but will be taken to heaven, adding a return of Jesus before His second coming.
There are several names Morgan Edwards, Edward Irving, a teenage girl in the lowlands of Scotland named Margaret MacDonald, and more, but spread by John Darby, and C.I. Scofield with the study bible with footnotes helped promote the doctrine. This is a deception I feel that Satan is behind, for those who are still living at the end (my opinion).
Where is in the air? Is it heaven? In Strong's 109 air (The air, lower air we breathe). In Strong's 3772 air Heavens, the visible heavens, the atmosphere, the sky, the starry heavens, the spiritual heavens. The word air 109 was used in 1Thessalonians 4:17 and seems as it says, it's no higher than the clouds. Now, this is a gathering in the air-breathing sky. Jesus will reign on this earth and also the elect, Revelation 11:15 2 Thimothy 2:12 Revelation 5:10 on earth not in heaven and on the new earth Revelation 21:1 Revelation 22:1-5.
No scripture says we are taken up to heaven after we meet Jesus but there is the scripture that says where Jesus goes when He returns. On that day His feet will stand Zechariah 14:4, He will send His angels to gather the elect, after the tribulation, Matthew 24:29-31 Mark 13:24-27. The earth is round, and the elect will be global when gathered will be in the air going to meet Jesus.
I could say more but it is up to us individually to pray and study for the understanding what is the truth led by the Holy Spirit. Consider the context when you study.
God bless,

You misinterpret scripture from Paul's epistles, ignore the entire gospel of Jesus Christ, and his apostles, including tons of scripture in the OT and NT to arrive at your misguided concept that a Christian can disregard God's Commandments.
I guess you don't believe this scripture either. This is Jesus telling us that we will have right to the tree of life, and may enter into the gates of the city (Heaven) if we follow His Commandments.
Revelation 22:14
"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."
My friend, if we are truly "Born Again", we will be led by the Spirit to follow God's Commandment's. Why? Because His Commandments are Good and Just!
Read and Believe!

(1) He ascended to His Father ( Luke 24:49-53; Acts 1:6-11).
(2) He is our eternal Mediator ( 1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 8:6; 1 John 2:1.
(3) He is our Savior: "Thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins" ( Matthew 1:21, KJV). "Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins" ( Acts 5:31, KJV).
He is the only Savior. "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved" ( Acts 4:12, NIV).
He is a complete Savior. "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them" ( Hebrews 7:25, KJV).
He is a personal Savior. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness: and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" ( Romans 10:9, 10, KJV).
The Consummation of His Work:
(1) He shall return again to this earth ( Acts 1:11; Hebrews 10:37; John 14:3).
(2) Believers in Christ shall be bodily resurrected to begin a new, undying life ( 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-58).
(3) He will reign as King of kings and Lord of lords over His new creation ( 2 Peter 3:10-13; Revelation 22:3-5).
God Bless

There is no end to the instructions you can get, 63 yrs ago I started reading 69 books and haven't found much time or need for others. Old testament I read some but to get real help its in the new testament. There is no harm in saying I don't know.
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Well, if we take the first & last instance of the mention of God in the Book of the Revelation, we do see God mentioned & that Jesus is with Him. You may consider Revelation 1:1,6 and Revelation 22:1-6. And in this last chapter which details the New Jerusalem, we see that as God & His Son continue forever, so will this holy city continue, without end.
Ephesians 4:13-32, Colossians 3:8-10,
Revelation 21:27, Revelation 22:15,
I believe these are the scriptures, you're looking for: John 1:12,
Genesis 4:26, Genesis 5:22-24, Genesis 6:1-7,
Revelation 22:18,19, Deuteronomy 4:2,
Thank you for your response. I believe we are in agreement, and just wanted to comment/elaborate on something. You said: "So then, why should we keep His laws? Because it is in keeping the 10 commandments and all that God instructs us to do that allows us to give love to God an others."
I agree, but I also would like to add that Jesus tells us repeatedly throughout the scripture to follow the commandments, including this powerful scripture spoken by Jesus to Apostle John approximately 50 years after His ascension into Heaven. If the Commandments were nailed to the cross and are no longer viable as many try to argue, why is Jesus still telling us that following his commandments are necessary - 50 years after His crucifixion?
Revelation 22:14
"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."
Will those people that don't try to follow His commandments get to enter into the City? It doesn't sound like it to me! This is a very compelling reason for trying follow His Commandments, in may opinion - probably the best reason.
Finally, I agree it is His Holy Spirit working in us, allowing the ability to truly follow His Commands!
God Bless.
Jesus says that all of the law (Ten Commandments) hang on those two commandments that you are refrencing.
Matthew 22:40
"On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
Jesus/God wants you to try keep all of his commandments.
John 14:15
"If ye love me, keep my commandments."
Jesus tells us if we want to enter into heaven we will keep his commandments.
Revelation 22:14
"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."
Read and Believe!
Proverbs 14:9, Hebrews 11:36, in context Hebrews 11, Isaiah 63:8, James 3:14, Revelation 22:14,15, Revelation 21:27,
Hopefully these are helpful
Matthew 28:19- (Words of Jesus about baptism)
Matthew 3:13-17
Jesus set an EXAMPLE of baptism for us and all three (tri-unity) were there. The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, all together, at the baptism. Jesus always led by example.
I am not seasoned in the word YET as are most of y'all, but I do know enough to know that the Bible says this;
Revelation 22:18
Revelation 22:19
With emphasis on revelation 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Jesus Christ himself placed the benchmark high according to the prophets, and not about what's convenient for man. Uncomfortable truths here are discouraged from uncovering. Did Ham's son bear the curse God dealt out or not? If you can't face the small facts, how are you gonna handle the day of the Lord when it takes you by surprise, simply because you never understood what it was. The trumpets you ignore. That's a shame, but then the Lord says when His people are attacked, Ezekiel 21:12, they will not know from where it came from, as if they're too caught up in their own Gospel to know the difference.
Do you wonder why the USSR fell in 1991 of a deadly wound, and up popped up a new country, a new government, called The Russian Federation? Daniel 7:8 Russia is the little horn, more stout than his fellows Daniel 7:20 Russia is run by a president who refers to his nuclear arsenal as a "fiery serpent" Isaiah 14:29.
You people literally have no idea what's about to go down while this is what I carry around every day:
And it shall be when they say unto thee,Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shall answer for the tidings because it come as an every heart shall melt and all hands shall be civil and every spirit shall faint and all knees shall be weak as water behold it, and it shall be brought to pass saith the Lord God. Ezekiel 21:7
Ezekiel and the rest of the prophets see what I see coming and there's no denying it. If you have the least bit inclination as to what I'm talking about you may as well get your house in order now.
