The OP is correct. You can work your fingers to the bone making mittens for poor children, but works alone does not give you everlasting life. It takes faith in all situations. Please read the story of Nicodemus if you dont already know it... Jesus instructs him how to get to heaven. John 3:1-21
}**WHAT ARE THE NUMEROUS BIBLE CLUES WHICH REVEAL THE IDENTITY OF **666**???
Revelation 13:17b,18: "The mark of the beast {Or anti-christ} is the *NAME* of the Beast or the number of *HIS NAME*. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, *LET HIM* calculate the number of the Beast {Even in AD 96 when Revelation was written}, for it is a man's number {Or "Number of a MAN"}. *HIS* number is *666*." God has promised in the above inspired passage that any saint {Even in AD 96--which implies that the name was known in AD 96} with spiritual wisdom and insight may calculate the name of the beast which is a *MAN'S NAME* and adds up to 666.
In Thess 2:3 the Beast of the End-Times is called a "*MAN* of sin or lawlessness" or very **SINFUL MAN** and therefore the name of the Beast which adds up to 666 is a *MAN'S* name which is also confirmed in Rev 13:17b,18 above. Therefore, the NAME of the Beast which adds up to 666 is a sinful *MAN'S NAME* and could not be the name of a woman or a city, country, computer or Satan, etc.. 666 is also identified with a MASCULINE pronoun 28 times in God's Word which we will show later.
Rev 13:16,17: "He {The False Prophet} forced everyone... to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead. No one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name {666}. The anti-christ is called a "BEAST" 36 {6x6} times in Revelation. The BEAST is a much better name than anti-christ since anti-christ is mentioned 5 times in God's Word {I John 2:18{2X}, 22; 4:3; 2 John 1:7} and each time the word encompasses all who are against Christ. I John 2:18: "Even now many anti-christs have come."
**666** is referred to in the MASCULINE gender 28 times and the Beast is never referred to in the feminine or neuter gender. It is interesting to note that if the Beast of the end-times will be a religious organization, country or city it would be referred to in the female or neuter gender!!! The masculine pronouns used for the Beast are "HIS" 11 times: Rev 13:1, 5,16b,18b; 14:9,11; 17:7b; 19:2; 20:4(2X) & Daniel 7:26. "HE" 10 times: Rev 13:1;6a,7a,7; 17:8b; 17:11; 2 Thess 2:6; Daniel 7:24,25 & Daniel 9:27. "HIM" 5 times: Rev 13:4b; 19:20; 2 Thess 2:6; Daniel 7:25 & Daniel 9:27. "HIMSELF" 2 times in 2 Thess 2:4.
**REVELATION WAS WRITTEN BY JOHN IN PRISON ON THE ISLE OF PATMOS BETWEEN SEPTEMBER AD 95 AND SEPTEMBER AD 96**
During the last year of his rule Domitian Caesar decreed that everyone in the Roman Empire must worship idols of former Roman Caesar's or else they would be killed or put in prison. Historical documents show us that the Apostle John {Who then lived in Ephesus} lived to about AD 100 and therefore would have been alive during Domitian's evil decree of September AD 95 to September of AD 96. Since we can be sure that the Apostle John would never worship an idol of a Roman Caesar it is then highly probable that John was put in prison on the Roman prison in Patmos Isle sometime during Domitian's evil decree from September AD 95 to September AD 96 and therfore Revelation was written between September AD 95 and September AD 96.
Revelation 1:9: I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of **PATMOS** because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus!
**IN 2 THESSALONIANS WE READ THAT THE **MAN OF SIN** WILL CLAIM TO BE **GOD**.
2 Thessalonians 2:4: He {The **MAN OF SIN**} will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, proclaiming himself to be God!
In Revelation 13:8 we learn that all the unsaved inhabitants of the world will worship the Beast. Nero and Caligula "abandoned all reserve" in promoting emperor worship - they were the only two Roman Caesars who demanded divine honors while still alive. Nero claimed to be the Sun-God Apollo. In 2 Thess 2:4 above we read that the "Man of Sin" will proclaim that he is God! Inscriptions have been found in Ephesus in which Nero is called **ALMIGHTY GOD** and **SAVIOR**!
**REVELATION 17:8 BELOW SHOWS THAT **666** WAS ALIVE AND THEN DIED BY A FATAL SWORD WOUND BEFORE AD 96 WHEN REVELATION WAS WRITTEN**:
Revelation 17:8: The beast, which you saw, once was {Alive}, Now {in AD 96} is not {Alive} and will come up out of the **ABYSS** {Hell} and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book life will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was {Alive before AD 96}, now {In AD 96} is not {Alive} and yet will come.
Nero Caesar was born on December 15th, AD 37 and died by a fatal sword wound on June 9th, AD 68 and then went to **HELL** which is also called the **ABYSS** !!
Rev 13:14: He {The False Prophet} will order the inhabitants of the earth to set up an image in honor of the beast who was {FATALLY-Rev 13:3} wounded by the sword and yet lived."
Rev 13:3: “One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been HEALED!! The whole world was astonished and followed the beast."
**666** WILL COME OUT OF THE **HELL** ALSO CALLED THE **ABYSS** TO RULE EVERY NATION IN THE WORLD FOR 42 {Or 6X6+6} MONTHS UNTIL THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS ON THE LAST DAY**
Revelation 17:8: The Beast, which you saw, once was {Alive}, and now {In AD 96} is not {Alive}, and yet will come up put of the **ABYSS**{*HELL*} and go to his destruction.{On the Last Day-See Rev 19:20}
Revelation 11:7: Now when they {God's 2 witnesses} have finished their {1260-day} testimony the Beast that comes up from the **ABYSS**{*HELL*} will attack and kill them.
We know that the **ABYSS** is **HELL** by comparing 2 Peter 2:4 with Luke 8:30,31 as follows:
2 Peter 2:4: For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to **HELL**, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment.
Luke 8:30,31: Jesus asked him. "What is your name?" "Legion," he replied, because many demons had gone into him. And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the **ABYSS**!
We can be sure that Nero Caesar is now in the **ABYSS** or **HELL** since he killed Paul and Peter and thousands of Christians and sent Vespasian {the father of Titus and Domitian Caesar} to kill the Jews and destroy their Temple. The **MAN OF SIN** or Nero also killed his own mother and killed his pregnant wife by kicking her in the stomach.
**THE NAME OF THE EVIL BEAST MENTIONED 36 {**6X6**} TIMES IN REVELATION WILL ADD UP TO **666** MOST LIKELY IN THE BIBLE LANGUAGES OF HEBREW OR GREEK**
Revelation 13:18: The mark of the Beast is the **NAME** of the Beast or the **NUMBER** of **HIS NAME**! This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the Beast, for it is a man's number. **HIS NUMBER IS **666**!!
When I was a missionary in Israel I studied the Hebrew language. One of the first things that you learn when you study the OT Ancient Hebrew language {Which is also the language of Israel today!} is that the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet ALSO represent 22 numbers! When you read Psalm 119 you will note that the 176 sentences are divided into 22 sections; each section with 8 sentences or verses praising the Word of God. These 22 sections are each headed by one of the letters in the Hebrew alphabet in the exact same order as shown below. The ancient Hebrew language {Which is exactly the same as the modern Hebrew language} frequently used the letters of their alphabet to designate numbers in the OT as follows: ALEPH=1. BETH=2. GIMEL=3. DALET=4. HE=5. VAV=6. ZAYIN=7. CHETH=8. TETH=9. YODH=10. KAPH=20. LAMED=30. MEM=40. NUN=50. SAMEKH=60. AYIN=70. PE=80. TSADHE=90. KOPH=100. RESH=200. SHIN=300. TAV=400.
NOTE: Most vowel sounds except "O" {VAV} are not used as letters in Hebrew. These vowel sounds are designated by dots and dashes under their *PRECEDING* consonants. In Hebrew "N" is added on the end of all foreign names ending in "O". Therefore, the foreign name of Nero would be "NERON" in Hebrew. The name Nero Caesar would be pronounced Neron Kaysar in Hebrew. The "E" in Neron and the 2 "A" sounds in Kaysar {There is no "C" in Hebrew} are designated by dots and dashes under their preceding consonants and therefore are not letters in the 22 letter Hebrew alphabet, and so have no numerical value.
Neron in Hebrew would use 4 letters with numerical value: N-R-O-N and Kaysar in Hebrew would use 3 letters with numerical value: K-S-R. There would be a dot under the first N to show the "E" sound in NEron There would also be 2 dots under the "K" to show the "AY" sound in KAYsar and a dash under the "S" to show the "AH" sound in KaySAHr. The 4 letters with numerical value in NERON would be {SEE TABLE ABOVE} N = NUN = 50; R = RESH = 200; O = VAV = 6; and N = NUN = 50 and 50+20+6+50 equals 306. The 3 letters with numerical value in "KAYSAR would be K = KOPH = 100; S = SAMEKH = 60; and R = RESH =200 and 100+60+200 equals 360. And so the numerical value of Nero in Hebrew is 306 and the numerical value of Caesar in Hebrew is 360, and therefore the numerical value of Nero Caesar is 306+360 or exactly *666*!
There is a very interesting footnote in the Revised Standard Version concerning the number 666 which states that some ancient manuscripts have the number **616** which *DOUBLY* confirms that Nero Caesar may be the future Anti-Christ!! You will note that the Hebrew language adds an "N" to all foreign names ending in "O". Now "N" or "NUN" in Hebrew has a numerical value of **50**!! and so if you decided not to add the last "N" in NERON then Nero Caesar would add up to exactly *616* in Hebrew. This is an absolutely amazing coincidence!
Any honest Hebrew language scholar will confirm that the letters of Nero Caesar's name add up to 666 in the Hebrew language whose 22 letters are also 22 numbers as shown above, and the Bible was written by 40 Jews. Since all of the prophecies concerning the anti-christ are written in OT Hebrew {Like Daniel 7:8-25} or NT Koine Greek it would then seem logical that God would use one of these 2 Bible languages to identify the Name of the Beast whose letters add up to 666. One of the problems of doing this in NT Koine Greek is that the letters of their alphabet are not also numbers. And therefore you can only assign a numerical value of 22 to the 22nd letter, etc.. Using this formula you could not get any name to add up to over 250, let alone 666. You have the same problem with English and all other languages other than the Hebrew language! The 3 different Greek words used in Rev 13:18b to arrive at the number 666 are the 3 different Greek words for 600 and 60 and 6 and not 6 + 6 + 6.
The **6th** Caesar {Julius, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius & the **6th** was NERO CAESAR} ordered the execution of Paul & Peter in AD *66* and adds up to exactly **666** in the Hebrew language.
It is interesting to note that **666** will come up from the **ABYSS** and **ABYSS** adds up to exactly **66** in English Gematria> A = 1 B= 2 Y = 25 S = 19 S = 19 and 1+2+25+19+19 equals exactly **66**!!
Nero Caesar or **666** is called the **BEAST** 36 or **6X6** times in Revelation and he will exercise his authority for exactly 42 {Or **6X6+6**} months as per Rev 13:5. It very interesting to note that the 36 {**6X6**} numbers in numbers 1 through 36 or **6X6** adds up to exactly **666**!!
**666** WILL BE A **ROMAN KING** FROM THE 4TH GREAT EMPIRE OR ROME WHEN WE COMPARE DANIEL 7:23-25 TO REVELATION 13:5**!!
Theologians agree that the 4 great empires mentioned in Daniel 7:3-24 were:
{**1**} The Babylonian Empire
{**2**} The Medo Persian Empire
{**3**} The Greek Empire
{**4**} The Roman Empire
The dominance of the 4th Empire or Roman Empire probably began aound 146 BC when it defeated the Greek Empire at Carthage and Corinth. The dominance of the Roman Empire probably ended in AD 476 when a barbarian named Odoacer deposed the last Western Roman Emporer named Romulus Augustulus in AD 476.
Daniel 7:25: He {A Roman King} will speak against the Most High and oppress His saints. The saints will be handed over to him for time {12 months}, times {24 months} and 1/2 a time {6 months} {12+24+6=42 months} {Daniel 7:23,24 shows that he was a king from the 4th or Roman Empire!!}
By comparing Daniel 7:25, Daniel 12:7, Revelation 11:2,3; 12:6,14 we know that 42 months, 1260 days And time {12 months or 360 days}, times {24 months or 720 days} and 1/2 a time {6 months or 180 days} are the exact same period of time
Revelation 13:5,7: The Beast {A Roman King} will be given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for **42 MONTHS**...He will be given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them! {Compare to Daniel 7:25 above!}
**WHAT CITY WHICH IS CALLED A **WOMAN**{**66**} **6** TIMES AND BABYLON **6** TIMES WILL BE THE HEADQUARTERS OF **666** AND THE FALSE PROPHET OF **666** DURING THE 42 {**6X6+6**} MONTH GREAT TRIBULATION**??
The headqaurters of **666*** and the False Prophet of **666** is called an evil **WOMAN** **6** times in Revelation 17:3,4,6,7,9,18 and is also called a city on 7 hills {*ROME*} in Revelation 17:9. This evil **WOMAN** **66** is also called Babylon exactly **6** times in Revelation 14:8; 16:19; 17:5; 18:2,10,21!!
Revelation 17:3,4,6,18: I saw a **WOMAN** sitting on a scarlet **BEAST** {**666**} that was covered with blasphemous names... She had a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries... I saw the **WOMAN** was drunk with the blood of God's holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus... The **WOMAN** you saw is the great **CITY** that rules over the kings of the earth!! The good woman is mentioned in Revelation 12:1-17.
It is interesting to note that this evil **WOMAN** {**66**} in Revelation 17 adds up to exactly **66** in English Genatria: W = 23 O = 15 M = 13 A = 1 N = 14 and 23 + 15 + 13 + 1 + 14 equals exactly **66** and is mentioned exactly **6** times in Revelation 17. This evil **WOMAN** {**66**} is also called Babylon **6** times and will be the headquarters of **666** and the False Prophet of **666** during the 42 {**6X6+6**} month Great Tribulation!!
Nero Caesar who adds up to **666** who will come up from the **ABYSS** {**66**}; is called a **BEAST** 36 or **6X6** times in Revelation and the False Prophet {?BERGOGLIO? = **666**} of **666** is called a **BEAST** in Revelation 13:11. These 2 **BEASTS** {**66**} will rule from the evil city on 7 hills called a **WOMAN** {**66**} **6** times and **BABYLON** **6** times in Revelation. It is very interesting to note that **BEASTS** also add up to exactly **66** in English Gematria: B = 2 E = 5 A - 1 S = 19 T = 20 S = 19 and 2+5+1+19+20+19 = **66**!!
{**666**} according to Revelation 11:7 And 17:8 will come up from the **ABYSS** which adds up to {**66**} and he is called a **BEAST** 36 or {**6X6**} times. This **BEAST** will come up from the **ABYSS** {*66**} by way of the **SEA** as per Revelation 13:1. It is interesting to note that this **SEA BEAST** adds up to exactly 72 which is also {**66+6**} For S = 19 E = 5 A = 1 B = 2 E = 2 A = 1 S = 19 T = 20 and 19+5+1+2+5+1+19+20 equals exactly 72 which is also {**66+6**}
**AND SO ALL THE BIBLE CLUES POINT TO NERO CAESAR AS THE FUTURE **666** WHO WILL COME UP OUT OF THE **ABYSS** TO RULE THE WORLD FOR 42 {**6X6+6**} MONTHS UNTIL THE 2ND COMING OF JESUS ON THE LAST DAY**
**THE ONLY THING THAT COUNTS IS **FAITH** EXPRESSING ITSELF THROUGH LOVE**!!{Galatians 5:6}
Acts 26:17,18: Jesus said to Paul, "I am sending you to the Gentiles to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are **SANCTIFIED BY FAITH**!"
Romans 1:17: For in the Gospel the righteousness of God is revealed--a righteousness that is **BY FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST**!!
Romans 3:23-25: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of His blood--to be received **BY FAITH**!!
Romans 3:27,28: Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? **NO**, because of the law that **REQUIRES FAITH**! For we maintain that a person is **JUSTIFIED BY FAITH** apart from the works of the law!!
Romans 5:1,2: Therefore, since we have been **JUSTIFIED THOUGH FAITH**, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access **BY FAITH** into this grace in which we now stand!!
Romans 10:5-9: Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law: "The person who does these things will live by them." {Lev 18:5} But the righteousness that comes **BY FAITH** says...The word is near you: it is in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the message concerning **FAITH** that we proclaim: IF you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your **FAITH** and are saved!!
Romans 12:3: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the **FAITH** God has distributed to each of you!!

2 Corinthians 1:24: We work with you for your joy, because it is **BY FAITH** you stand firm!!
2 Corinthians 5:6-10: We are always confident and know that as long as we are at home with the body we are away from the Lord. For we live **BY FAITH**, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please Him... For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad!!
Galatians 2:16: We know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but **BY FAITH** in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our **FAITH** in Christ Jesus that we may be **JUSTIFIED BY FAITH** in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law **NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED**!!
Galatians 3:23-26: Before the coming of this **FAITH**, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the **FAITH** that was to come would be revealed. So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be **JUSTIFIED BY FAITH**. Now that this **FAITH** has come we are **NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVION OF THE LAW**. So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God **THROUGH FAITH**!!
Galatians 5:5,6: For through the Spirit we eagerly await **BY FAITH** the righteousness for which we hope. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is **FAITH** expressing itself through **LOVE**!!
Ephesians 2:8-10: For it is by grace you have been saved, **THROUGH FAITH**--and this is not from yourselves, it is the **GIFT** of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do!!
Ephesians 3:16,17: I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts **THROUGH FAITH**!!

2 Thessalonians 1:11: We constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of His calling, and that by His power He may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed **PROMPTED BY FAITH**!!
I Timothy 1:3,4: Command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer... Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God's work--which is **BY FAITH**!!
2 Timothy 3:14,15: Continue in what you have learned and become convinced of...and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation **THROUGH FAITH** in Christ Jesus!!
Hebrews 11:1,3,6: So **FAITH** is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see...**BY FAITH** we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, in that what is seen was not made out of what was visible... Without **FAITH** it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He **REWARDS** those who earnestly seek Him!!
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, “The Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels and **THEN** He will **REWARD** each person according to what he has done!”
Hebrews 12:1,2: Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Pioneer and Perfecter of our **FAITH**!!
Way to go Prophetic, people were starting to discuss the Bible and you shut the whole thing down again with another obnoxiously long cut and paste post. Are you a prophet for God or a prophet of Satan?
“Prophetic” what does your delving into numerology have to do with the topic??? Your bible verses are as out of context on this thread as they are nearly everywhere else!!
Shame on you for using scripture to support your own false ideas.
Prophetics posts had nothing to do with anything... a bit of secular history...its really sad someone carries so much hate in his heart that he wants to ruin an actual discussion of the Bible. I cannot imagine what Jesus went through to save us. We are all so pathetic and undeserving, yet He loved us so much, He carried out the plan to save us. Thank you Lord.
*WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!! as *SAD*lup and Satan teach!!
Galatians 2:14-16,20,21; 3:2,5,10-13;23-25: Paul said, When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.!"
Galatians 2:20,21: The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
Galatians 3:10-13: "All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us!
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!"
Hebrews 7:18,19: The former regulation is SET ASIDE because it was weak and useless; for the law made nothing perfect, and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.!
Hebrews 8:8,9,13: "The time is coming." says the Lord, "when I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah".... By calling this Covenant "NEW", He has made the first one OBSOLETE; and what is OBSOLETE and aging will soon disappear."
Hebrews 8:6: But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which He is Mediator is SUPERIOR TO THE OLD ONE, and it is founded on better promises.
Colossians 2:16,17: Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you **EAT** or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a *SHADOW* of the things that were to come, the reality, however, is found in Christ!!!
Deuteronomy 18:17-19: The Lord said to Moses, "I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among your fellow Israelites, and I will put My words in His mouth. He will tell them **EVERYTHING** I command Him. I Myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to My words that the Prophet speaks in My name!!"
John 14:21-24: Jesus says, "Whoever has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me... Anyone who loves Me will obey My teaching, My Father will love them, and We will come to them and make Our home with them.. Anyone who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. These words you hear are not My own; they belong to the Father who sent Me!" {See Deut 18:17-19 above}
Luke 6:46-49: Jesus says, "As for everyone who comes to Me and hears **MY WORDS** and **PUTS THEM INTO PRACTICE**. I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid foundation on rock. When the flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears **MY WORDS** and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete!"
I Peter 1:23-25: You have been **BORN AGAIN THROUGH THE LIVING AND ENDURING **WORD OF GOD**!! All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field, the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the **WORD OF THE LORD STANDS FOREVER**. And this is the **WORD** that was preached to you.
Matthew 24:35: Jesus says, Heaven and earth will pass away, but **MY WORDS WILL NEVER PASS AWAY**!"
I John 2:3-5: We know we have come to know Him {Jesus} if we obey His commands. The man who says, "I know Him," but does not do what He commands is a liar and the truth is not in him. But if anyone **OBEYS HIS WORD**, God's love is truly made complete in him!
Luke 8:15: Jesus says, "But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the **WORD**, retain it, and by perseverance produce a crop."
Acts 20:32: Paul says, "Now I commit you to God and to the **WORD OF HIS GRACE**, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified!"
Romans 10:17: Consequently, **FAITH COMES FROM HEARING THE MESSAGE**, and the message is heard **THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST**!

2 Corinthians 4:2: We do not use deception, nor do we distort the **WORD OF GOD**!
Ephesians 1:13: You also were included in Christ **WHEN** you heard the **WORD** of Truth, the gospel of your salvation.
Colossians 1:25: I have become its servant by the commission God gave to me to present to you the **WORD OF GOD IN ALL ITS FULLNESS**!
Colossians 3:16: Let the **WORD OF CHRIST** dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom!
I Thessalonians 2:13: We thank God continually because, when you received the **WORD OF GOD**, which you heard from us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the **WORD OF GOD**!
2 Timothy 3:15,16: 4:1,2: You have known the **HOLY SCRIPTURES**, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. **ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD-BREATHED** and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom, I give you this charge: **PREACH THE WORD**!! {**WHICH IS THE ENTIRE NEW COVENANT AND NEW TESTAMENT**!!}
**DOES GOD"S WORD SAY THAT **ADDING** OR **TAKING WORD'S AWAY** FROM GOD's WORD IS AN UMPARDONABLE SIN**??
Revelation 22:16,18,19: "I, Jesus. have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Churches.... I warn everyone who hears the **WORDS OF THE PROPHECY OF THIS BOOK**: If anyone **ADDS** {Like the RC popes} anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this Book {Including **ETERNAL HELL**} And if anyone **TAKES WORDS AWAY** {Like the RC popes} from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City {The New Jerusalem}, which are described in this book."
THE GREAT COMMISSION: Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, “All authority in heaven and on ***EARTH*** has been given to Me {Not some RC Pope}. Therefore go and make disciples of *ALL NATIONS*...teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING** I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very *END OF THE AGE*!”
