Admin	Salvation is 100% Free while Eternal Rewards ar 100% Earned Posted : 8 Jul, 2017 05:17 PM JESUS WILL GIVE COUNTLESS ETERNAL REWARDS AND TREASURES AND CROWNS IN HEAVEN TO ALL OF HIS SAINTS ACCORDING TO WHAT HE HAS DONE!! SALVATION IS 100% FREE Titus 3:3,4: At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and LOVE of God our Savior appeared , He saved us, NOT BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUS THINGS WE HAD DONE, but because of HIS MERCY!! John 1:12,13: To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, NOR OF A HUMAN DECISION or a husband's will but, BORN OF GOD!! John 6:37,39,44,65: Jesus says, "ALL that the Father gives Me WILL come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will NEVER drive away... And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall LOSE NONE of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day.... No one can come to Me UNLESS the Father who sent Me DRAWS HIM, and I will raise him up at the Last Day!!... No one can come to Me UNLESS the Father has ENABLED THEM!!" Ephesians 2:8,9: For it is by GRACE you have been saved, through FAITH�and this NOT FROM YOURSELVES, it is the GIFT OF GOD�not by works. So that no one can boast. For we are GOD'S WORKMANSHIP, created in Christ Jesus to do GOOD WORKS, which God prepared in advance for us to do! Romans 12:3: For by the GRACE GIVEN ME I say to every one of you. Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourselves with sober judgment, in accordance with the FAITH GOD HAS DISTRIBUTED TO EACH OF YOU... We have different gifts, according to the GRACE GIVEN TO EACH OF US!! John 15:16: Jesus says, "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit--fruit that will last!! Romans 9:15,16,18: God says, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God's mercy...Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden. {But God's saints still preach God's Word to everyone} Revelation 17:14: They will wage war against the LAMB, but the LAMB will triumph over them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with Him will be His CALLED, CHOSEN and FAITHFUL followers! SALVATION IS 100 % FREE BUT ETERNAL REWARDS ARE 100% EARNED!! Hebrews 11:1,6: Now faith {A FREE GIFT OF GOD} is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see....And 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!! Ephesians 6:8: Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will REWARD everyone for what ever good he does! Revelation 22:12 Jesus says, �Behold I am coming soon! My REWARD is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done!� 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 6:10-12: God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them. We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you have hoped for may be fully realized. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience INHERIT WHAT HAS BEEN PROMISED!! Daniel 12:3: Those who are impart wisdom {NIV} will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever!! I Corinthians 3:7-9: So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who watered have one purpose, and each will be REWARDED according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers, you are God's field, God's building! Colossians 3:17: And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the NAME OF THE LORD JESUS, giving thanks to God the Father through Him! John 15:5,8: Jesus says, "I am the Vine, you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing... This is to My Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples!" Matthew 13:23; Jesus says, "But the seed falling on the good soil refers to someone who hears the Word and understands it. This is the one who producesa a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown!" I Corinthians 9:17,18: When I preach the Gospel, I cannot boast, for I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel! If I preach VOLUNTARILY, I have a REWARD; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me. What then is my reward?? Just this: that in preaching the Gospel I may offer it FREE OF CHARGE, and so not make use of my rights in preaching it! Psalm 19:8-11: The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous. They are more precious than gold, they are sweeter than honey from the comb. In keeping them there is GREAT REWARD!! 2 Corinthians 5:9,10: We make it our goal to please Him... for we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. 1 Corinthians 3:13-15: His work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives , he will receive his REWARD. If it is burned up he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames. 2 John 1:8: Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you be REWARDED FULLY! Colossians 3:23-25: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a REWARD. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism. Matthew 6:3,4,6: Jesus says, "When you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing so that your giving my be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will REWARD you!!... When you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will REWARD you!!" 2 Peter 1:5-11: Make every effort to add to your faith {A Free Gift} goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness,LOVE. For it you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is near-sighted and blind, and has forgotten he has been cleansed of his past sins. Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fail, and you will receive a RICH WELCOME into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Luke 6:35: Jesus says, "Love your enemies, do good to them and lend to them without expecting anything back {Matt 5:45 adds "Pray for those who persecute you!!"} Then your REWARD WILL BE GREAT, and you will be sons of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked!" Proverbs 25:21,22: If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will REWARD you! This passage is also quoted in Romans 12:20 which adds: Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good!! Matthew 19:29 Jesus says, "Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother for My sake will receive A HUNDRED times as much and will inherit eternal life!" Revelation 2:17: Jesus says, "To him who overcomes.. I will give him a white stone with a NEW NAME written on it, known only to him who receives it!!" Revelation 3:21: Jesus says, "To him who overcomes, I will give the right to SIT WITH ME on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne!!" HOW TO WIN TREASURES IN HEAVEN I Timothy 6:18,19: Command them to do good deeds, and to be gracious and willing to share. In this way they will LAY UP TREASURE for themselves.. in the coming age! Luke 12:33,34: Jesus says, "Sell your possessions and give to the poor, provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a TREASURE IN HEAVEN that will not be exhausted... For where your *TREASURE is there YOUR HEART will be also!!" Matthew 6:19-21: Jesus says, "Do not store up for yourselves treasure on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. but store up for yourselves TREASURE IN HEAVEN, where moth and and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your TREASURE is, there YOUR HEART will be also!!" HOW TO WIN HEAVENLY ETERNAL CROWNS I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a CROWN that will not last; but we do it to get a CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER! Therefore, I do not run like a man running aimlessly. I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize! I Peter 5:2-4: Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watch over them--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve, not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears,you will receive the CROWN OF GLORY that will NEVER FADE AWAY!! And so God's Word confirms that these heavenly crowns WILL LAST FOREVER and WILL NEVER FADE AWAY!! Revelation 3:11: Jesus says, �I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your CROWN!� 2 Timothy 4:7,8: I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the CROWN of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day�and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for His appearing! The CROWN OF LIFE for those who persevere under trials and persecution: James 1:12: Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the CROWN OF LIFE that God has promised to those who love Him! Revelation 2:10 Jesus says, �Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer... Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the CROWN OF LIFE!� Matthew 5:11,12: Jesus says, �Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your REWARD in heaven!� Hebrews 10:32-36: Remember those earlier days after you had received the Light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be RICHLY REWARDED. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, YOU RECEIVE WHAT HE HAS PROMISED!!! "PRAY CONTINUALLY; GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR THIS IS GOD'S WILL FOR YOU IN CHRIST JESUS!!" {I Thess 5:17,18} Matthew 6:5,6,9-11 Jesus commands, �When you PRAY, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to PRAY standing in the synagogues {churches} and on the street corners to be seen by men...But when you PRAY, go into your room, close the door and PRAY to your FATHER, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret will reward you... This, then, is how you should PRAY: �Our Father in heaven hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.� and Luke 11:4 adds, FORGIVE US OUR SINS, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.� Matthew 6:7,8: Jesus says, "And when you PRAY, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him!" James 5:13-16: Is any one of you IN TROUBLE? He should PRAY!! Is any one of you SICK? He should call the elders {And only the elders!} of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the PRAYER offered in faith will make the sick person well, the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The PRAYER of a righteous man is powerful and effective! Acts 1:14: They all joined together CONSTANTLY IN PRAYER! Ephesians 6:18-19: PRAY in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind be alert and always keep on PRAYINGfor all the saints. PRAY also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the Gospel. I John 1:8,9; 2:1,2: If we {believers} claim to be without sin, WE DECEIVE OURSELVES and the truth is not in us. If we CONFESS OUR SINS, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we {believers} we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar and His word has no place in our lives....If anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the ATONING SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!! Matthew 26:41: Jesus says, "Watch and PRAYso that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing but the body is weak!" Hebrews 4:15,16: For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have One who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may RECEIVE MERCY AND FIND GRACE TO HELP US IN OUR TIME OF NEED!! Hebrews 12:5,6,10,11: Do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you, because the LORD DISCIPLINES THOSE HE LOVES, And He punishes everyone He accepts as a son... God disciplines us for our own good, that we may share in His holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. If we fail to daily ask forgiveness and repent of our sins God will DISCIPLINE US and sometimes it will be very painful. We will also LOSE ETERNAL REWARDS and a CLOSE RELATIONSHIP with God! 2 Corinthians 5:9,10: We make it our goal to please Him... for we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. Luke 18:1: JESUS SAYS, ALWAYS PRAY AND NEVER GIVE UP! Jeremiah 33:3; The Lord says, "Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know!" {This would help God's saints to correctly interpret many of the mysteries in God's Word!} Luke 11:1-4: The disciples asked Jesus, "Teach us to PRAY" Jesus said to His disciples, "When you PRAY, say: 'Father , hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come. Give us each day our DAILY bread. FORGIVE US {disciples}OUR SINS, for we forgive everyone who sins against us'" Here we see that Jesus tells His disciples to daily ask the Father to forgive them of their sins. God's Word states that we must be holy as God is holy as per I Peter 1:15,16; and to walk as Jesus walked as per I John 2:6. And God understands that we really don't understand how much we fall short and sin daily. The closer we get to God the more we realize how much we fall short and sin daily; and realize our need to confess our sins daily to get closer to God. Take Paul, the greatest NT saint, for example: I Timothy 1:15,16: Paul said, "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I AM THE WORST. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, THE WORST OF SINNERS, Christ Jesus might display HIS UNLIMITED PATIENCE as an example for those who would believe on Him and receive eternal life. I Timothy 5:5: The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to PRAY and ASK GOD FOR HELP!! I Thessalonians 5:17,18: PRAYCONTINUALLY; GIVE THANKS IN ALL circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Philemon 1:6: I PRAY that you may be active in sharing your faith. Acts 6:4: We will give our attention to PRAYER and the ministry of the Word! Matthew 5:44: Jesus commands, �Love your enemies and PRAY** for those who persecute you.� Acts 21:5: All the disciples and their wives and children accompanied us out of the city and there on the beach we KNELT to PRAY. Luke 22:41: Jesus KNELT down and PRAYED. Mark 1:35: Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a SOLITARY PLACE, where He PRAYED! Luke 5:16: Jesus often withdrew to LONELY PLACES and PRAYED! Acts 9:40: Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his KNEES and PRAYED. I Thessalonians 3:10: Night and day we PRAY* most earnestly that we may supply what is lacking in your faith. Ephesians 3:16-19: 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. And I PRAY that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know that love which surpasses knowledge�that you may be filled to the measure of the fullness of God! 2 Thessalonians 1:11,12: We CONSTANTLY PRAY FOR YOU, that our God may count you worthy of His calling, and that by His power He may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. We PRAY this that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. John 17:15-17: Jesus prayed, �My PRAYER is not to take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. Sanctify them by the Truth Your Word is Truth!� I Peter 3:12: The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their PRAYER. Colossians 4:12: He is always wrestling in PRAYER for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured. Hebrews 4:15,16:For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have One who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet He did not sin. Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need!! Philippians 4:6: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by PRAYER and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests to God. I John 5:14,15 This is the confidence we have in approaching God; that if we ask anything ACCORDING TO HIS WILL He hears us. And if we know that He hears us--whatever we ask--we know that we have what we asked of Him. 2 Corinthians 12:8,9: Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness!" James 4:3: When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with the wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures! Romans 8:26,27: The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to PRAY for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with GOD'S WILL! Matthew 18:10-14: Jesus said, �Two men went up to the temple to PRAY, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood up and PRAYED about himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men�robbers, evildoers, adulterers�or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.' But the tax collector stood at a distance, He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'GOD, HAVE MERCY ON ME, A SINNER'!!.'"I tell you that this man rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted!� *FIX YOUR THOUGHTS* ON JESUS!! Hebrews 3:1: Therefore, holy brothers who share in the heavenly calling, FIX YOUR THOUGHTS ON JESUS!! Hebrews 4:12,13: The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any double edged sword... It judges the THOUGHTS and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. EVERYTHING is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account! 2 Corinthians 5:9,10: We make it our goal to please Him... For we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad! 2 Corinthians 10:5: We take captive EVERY THOUGHT and make it obedient to Christ!! Romans 13:14: Clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and DO NOT THINK about how to satisfy the desires of the sinful nature! Matthew 22:37,38: Jesus says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with ALL YOUR MIND!! This is the first and GREATEST commandment!!" Colossians 3:2: Set your MINDS ON THINGS ABOVE, not on earthly things! Romans 12:2: Be transformed by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--His good, pleasing and perfect will!! Romans 8:5,6: Those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their MINDS set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of sinful man is death, but the MIND controlled by the Spirit is life and peace! Philippians 4:8,9: Finally, brothers, whatever is TRUE, whatever is NOBLE, whatever is RIGHT, whatever is PURE, whatever is LOVELY, whatever is ADMIRABLE,THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS... And the God of peace will be with you!! POST-TRIB RESURRECTION VERSUS PRE-TRIB RAPTURE?? Now the pre-tribbers believe that ALL the CHURCH SAINTS, dead or alive, will be raptured BEFORE the Great Tribulation begins and that the unbelievers will be resurrected AFTER the Great Tribulation ends??? WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY?? 2 Thessalonians 1:1,6-10: To the CHURCH of the Thessalonians... God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen WHENthe Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with His powerful angels {See Matthew 24:29-31 and Matthew 25:31} He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the Gospel of our lord Jesus They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord ON THE DAY HE COMES to be glorified in His holy people {Including CHURCH SAINTS--See Matthew 25:31-46} and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes YOU** {Thessalonian CHURCH SAINTS} Pre-Tibbers also claim that the CHURCH SAINTS and the Lost will not be resurrected on the same LAST DAY of the Great Tribulation?? BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY?? John 12:48: Jesus says, "There is a Judge for the one who rejects Me and does not accept My words, that very word which I spoke will condemn him on the LAST DAY!" See Matthew 25:31-46; Daniel 12:1,2 and John 5:28} John 6:40: Jesus says, ""For My Father's will is that EVERYONE who looks to the Son and believes in Him {CHURCH SAINTS} shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the LAST DAY!" So God's Word definitely shows that Jesus will resurrect His saints and judge the lost on the Last Day when He comes IN GLORY WITH ALL HIS ANGELS{Matthew 16:27; 24:29,30; 25:31} or WHEN HE IS REVEALED FROM HEAVEN WITH HIS POWERFUL ANGELS as per 2 Thessalonians 1:1,6-10!! John 5:28,29: Jesus says, �Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming {The LAST DAY*} when ALL* {Both OT & NT Saints} who are in their graves will hear His voice and come out�those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned.� Daniel 12:1b,2,7b: �There will be a time of distress {The Great Tribulation} such as not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time {The LAST DAY} your people--EVERYONE whose name is found written in the Book {Both OT & NT Saints}�will be delivered. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt�It will be for a time. times and half a time {1260 days-Rev 12:6,14, or 42 {30-day} months-Rev 13:5-{Not 7 years} ALL these things will be COMPLETED. Most Pre-Tribbers also teach that the Judgment of all the lost will take place 1,000 years after the Second Coming of Jesus. This ridiculous teaching is absolutely refuted in 2 Thess 1:6-10, Daniel 12:1,2 and John 5:28,29 above and Matthew 25:31-46; and by comparing John 6:40 and John 12:48 above. The pre-tribbers wrongly believe that the OT saints will receive their eternal perfect heavenly bodies 7 years or 1260 days AFTER the Church saints. However, in Hebrews 11:39,40 we read �These {OT super saints mentioned in Heb 11:4-38} were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that ONLY TOGETHER WITH US {NT Saints} would they {OT Saints} be made perfect!� Pre-Tribbers also claim that the HOLY SPIRIT WILL BE REMOVED from all the saints during the Great Tribulation because of a ridiculous interpretation of 2 Thessalonians 2:7??? BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY?? Mark 13:11: Jesus says, "Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial {During the Great Tribulation}, do not worry beforehand what to say, but say whatever is given to you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the HOLY SPIRIT!!!" Pre-Tribbers also claim that the saints will not go through the Great Tribulation because they would then suffer the WRATH of God. BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY?? Romans 5:9: Since we have been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from GOD'S WRATH through Him!. I Thessalonians 5:9: God did not appoint us to suffer WRATHbut to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ! God's Tribulation saints will not be hurt by GOD'S WRATH during the Great Tribulation! The horrific 7 Trumpet Plagues and 7 Bowl Plagues and eternal torment in Hell; are reserved only for the unbelievers and will not hurt God's saints in any way just as the 10 OT Egyptian plagues miraculously did not hurt any of God's people as shown in the following Scriptures: Revelation 9:4-6: They were told to only harm those people who did not have the seal of God on their heads. They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for 5 months. During these days men will seek death, but will not find it they will long to die but death will elude them. Revelation 9:18,20,21: A third of mankind will be killed by the plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that comes out of their mouths.... The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands, they did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold... Nor did the repent of their murders, their magic arts,their sexual immorality or their thefts! Revelation 16:2: The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly and painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his image! Revelation 16:6: They have shed the blood of your saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink as they deserve! Revelation 16:9: They were seared by the intense heat and cursed the name of God who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify Him! Revelation 16:10: Men gnawed their tongues in agony and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done. Revelation 14:9,10: If anyone worships the Beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of HIS WRATH He will be tormented with burning sulfur...and the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever! Pre-Tribbers also claim that all of the Church saints will be raptured BEFORE the MAN OF LAWLESSNESS IS REVEALED?? BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY?? 2 Thessalonians 1:1; 2:1-3, 8: To the CHURCH of the Thessalonians... Concerning the COMING* of our Lord Jesus and OUR {CHURCH SAINTS} being gathered to Him.... Don't let anyone {Like Pre-Tribbers} deceive you in any way, for THAT DAY WILL NOT COME UNTIL THE MAN OF LAWLESSNESS IS REVEALED!..... The lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of His mouth and destroy by the splendor OF HIS COMING!! {On the LAST DAY of the Great Tribulation} It is interesting to note that the only COMING of the Lord Jesus when the CHURCH SAINTS are gathered to Him; mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 1:6-10 and 2:1 and 2:8; is on the LAST DAY** of the Great Tribulation!! I Peter 1:13: �Therefore, prepare your minds for ACTION, and set your hope FULLY on the grace to be given YOU when Jesus Christ is REVEALED. I Corinthians 1:7: �YOU do not lack any spiritual gift as YOU eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be REVEALED. Now the pre-tribbers claim that the glorious REVEALING or REVELATION of Jesus will be CONCEALED BEFORE the beginning of the Great Tribulation. However, every other time the Word REVEALED {Greek-Apocalypsis} is used related to resurrection events it refers to the glorious REVEALING of Jesus on the LAST DAY of the Great Tribulation {See 2 Thess 1:7-10 & Luke 17:26-31}. And CONCEALED is the exact opposite of REVEALED and APPEARED according to every dictionary! The Word of God clearly shows that the CHURCH SAINTS are waiting for the APPEARING and REVEALING of our Lord Jesus Christ which completely contradicts the Pre-Trib theory that the CHURCH SAINTS are all waiting for a CONCEALED RAPTURE??? Titus 2:13 WE {CHURCH SAINTS} wait for the BLESSED HOPE---the glorious APPEARING of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ!! Hebrews 9:28: Jesus will APPEAR a 2nd time {And not a 3rd TIME!} to bring salvation TOTHOSE WHO ARE WAITING FOR HIM!! Colossians 3:4: When Christ, who is your life APPEARS, then YOU {CHURCH SAINTS} also will APPEAR with Him in glory.� I John 3:2,3: �When Jesus APPEARS, WE {CHURCH SAINTS} shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. Everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure!!� Matthew 24:29,30: Jesus says, �IMMEDIATELY AFTER the distress of those days {The Great Tribulation} the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky. At that time the sign of the Son of Man will APPEAR in the sky and the nations will see the Son of Man COMING on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory!!� I John 2:28: �Dear children, continue in Him, so that when He APPEARS WE {CHURCH SAINTS} may be confident and unashamed before Him at His COMING!� {See 2 Thess 1:7-10; I Tim 6:14; Heb 9:28 & Col 3:4} 2 Tim 4:8: Paul said, There is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on THAT DAY�and not only to me, but to ALL {CHURCH SAINTS} who have longed for His APPEARING!!� {See Matt 24:30 above!!} I Peter 5:4: �When the Chief Shepherd APPEARS, YOU {CHURCH SAINTS*} will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away!� 2 Thess 1:1,6-10: �To the CHURCH* of the Thessalonians�God is just; He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen WHEN the Lord Jesus is REVEALED {See I Peter 1:13} from heaven in blazing fire�. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord ON THE DAY HE COMES to be glorified in His holy people {CHURCH SAINTS}!! This includes YOU {Thessalonian ^^CHURCH SAINTS} Now the Pre-Tribbers claim that all the resurrection versus on the second coming of Jesus will occur on the LAST DAY of the Great Tribulation EXCEPT for I Thessalonians 4;16-18 and I Corinthians 15:51,52 which tells of a secret silent rapture just before the Great Tribulation when 666 is revealed??? BUT WHAT DOES THESE VERSES REALLY TEACH?? I Corinthians 15:51,52: Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we ALL will be changed--in the twinkling of an eye, at the LAST TRUMPET. For the TRUMPET will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable and WE will be changed! Revelation 8:1,2: When He {Jesus} opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw 7 angels who stand before God and to them were given 7 TRUMPETS! Revelation 11:15,18: The seventh {And LAST} angel sounded his {7TH & LAST} TRUMPET, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: "The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and His Christ, and He will reign for ever and ever... The time has come for judging the dead, and rewarding your servants and your saints who reverence your name and for destroying those who destroy the earth!" And so the 7th angel will sound the 7th and LAST TRUMPET of Revelation on the LAST DAY of the Great Tribulation! and certainly not BEFORE the Great Tribulation even begins!! I Thessalonians 4:16,17; 5:2,4: For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel {See Rev 14:15} and with the TRUMPET{See Matt 24:30 & Rev 11:15,18 & I Cor 15:52} call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the CLOUDS {See Matt 24:30 and Rev 14:14} to meet the Lord in the air.... The DAY OF THE LORD {In I Cor 4:17 above} will come like a thief in the night {To unbelievers} While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them {Unbelievers} suddenly {On the SAME DAY as the Resurrection in I Cor 4:17 above!!}... But YOU {CHURCH SAINTS} brothers, are not in darkness so that THIS DAY should surprise you like a thief. You are ALL sons of the light and sons of the Day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness! Revelation 3:3: Jesus says, "Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will COME TO YOU!" Once the 1260-day Great Tribulation begins all of God's saints who can add will know the exact day of the Second Coming of Jesus on the Last Day. And when the stars start falling to earth the saints will know the exact hour of the Second Coming of Jesus!! Matthew 24:29-31: Jesus says, "Immediately after the distress of those {1260} days the sun will be darkened, and the stars will fall from the sky {Luke 21:28 adds: "When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near!!"} At that time the sign of the Son of Man coming on the CLOUDS {See I Thess 4:17} of the sky, with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud TRUMPET {See I Cor 15:52 & I Thess 4::16 & Rev 11:15,18} call an they will gather His ELECT {See Rom 11:5-7; 2 Tim 2:10 & Titus 1:1!}} from the 4 winds, from one end of the heavens to the other!" {Mark 13:27 adds: "From the ends of the earth."} Now the Pre-Tribbers claim that the ELECT OF JESUS mentioned in Matthew 24:31 are all OT Jewish saints and not CHURCH SAINTS. BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY?? Romans 11:5-7: At the present time there is a remnant CHOSEN by grace. And if by grace, then it is no longer by works, if it were, grace would no longer be grace! What then? What Israel sought so earnestly it did not obtain, but the ELECT did! 2 Timothy 2:10: Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the ELECT {CHURCH SAINTS}, that they too may obtain the SALVATION THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS! Titus 1:1: Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God's ELECT {CHURCH SAINTS}! Ephesians 3:6: This mystery is that through the Gospel the Gentiles are HEIRS TOGETHERwith Israel. Members together of ONE BODY, and SHARERS TOGETHERin the promise in Christ Jesus!! John 6:39,44: Jesus says, "And this is the will of Him who sent Me that I shall lose none of all that He has given Me {God's ELECT}, but raise them up at the LAST DAY... No one can come to Me UNLESS the Father DRAWS him, and I will raise him {GOD'S ELECT} up at the LAST DAY!" John 12:48: Jesus says, "There is a Judge for the one who rejects Me and does not accept My words, that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the LAST DAY!" Revelation 1:7; Look, He is coming on the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen! It is interesting to note that a pre-trib rapture fairy tale of God's saints is not mentioned even ONCE in the Olivet Prophetic sermon of Jesus in Matthew 24,25, Mark 13 and Luke 21 and not even ONCE in all the prophecies in the book of Revelation. Now the Pre-Tribbers agree that it is completely ridiculous not to have any mention of the resurrection of the CHURCH SAINTS in the prophetic book of Revelation.. And so the pre tribbers claim that Revelation 4:1-2 symbolically somehow shows the rapture of the CHURCH SAINTS since John's entrance into heaven before the Tribuklation somehow shows the rapture. Revelation 4:1-2: John said, "After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, 'Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.'" Now the pre-tribbers claim that John going up to heaven in AD 96, to see what will happen in the future; somehow represents all the living and dead CHURCH SAINTS being raptured just before the Great Tribulation??? The Last Day resurrections in Revelation 11:15-18 and Revelation 14:14-20 are obviously Post-Trib. And just after the Marriage Feast of the Lamb Jesus will mount a white horse and his saints will follow Him on white horses and they will conquer 666, his False Prophet, their kings and armies on the same Last Day as per Revelation 19:7-21 and Revelation 17:14: They will make war against the LAMB but the LAMB will overcome them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with Him will be His CALLED, CHOSEN and FAITHFUL followers!! Now the Pre-Tribbers teach that the Church saints must have been raptured before The Great Tribulation began since the word CHURCH is not mentioned in Revelation chapters 4-21 and therefore the Great Tribulation will not be FOR THE CHURCHES OR CHURCH SAINTS??? BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY?? Revelation 22:16,18-20: "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this testimony {ALL OF REVELATION}FOR THE CHURCHES.{CHURCH SAINTS}.. I warn everyone who hears the word of the prophecy of this book. If anyone ADDS {Like the Pre-Trib Rapture} anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone TAKES WORDS AWAY 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!!" Revelation 1:1-3: The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show HIS SERVANTS {CHURCH SAINTS} what must take place. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, who testifies to everything he saw--that is, the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads the Words of this Prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and TAKE TO HEART what is written in it!! Isaiah 46:9-11: "I am God, and there is no other. I am God, and there is none like Me! I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come... What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned that will I do!!" The fact that John Nelson Darby invented the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine around 1830 AD is unquestionably true. All attempts to find evidence of this wild doctrine before 1830 have failed, with a single exception: Morgan Edwards wrote a short essay as a college paper for Bristol Baptist College in Bristol England in 1744 where he confused the second coming with the first resurrection of Revelation 20 and described a "pre-tribulation" rapture. However Edwards ideas, which he admitted were brand new and never before taught, had no influence in the modern population of the false doctrine. That prize goes to Darby. Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle and contemporary of Darby, published criticism of Darby and Brethrenism. His main criticism was that Darby and the Plymouth Brethren rejected the vicarious purpose of Christ's obedience as well as imputed righteousness. He viewed these of such importance and so central to the Gospel that it led him to this statement about the rest of their belief! by C. H. Spurgeon. From the June 1869 Sword and Trowel: "Mr. Grant on the Darby Brethren" by Charles Spurgeon from the June 1860 "Sword and the Trowel": James Grant wrote: "Mr. Darby maintains that a part of Christ's sufferings on the cross, were what he calls 'non-atoning,' that is, that in 'smiting' him as the shepherd on the cross, God did not do so with a view to an atonement for our sins, until a particular point of time, while Christ was hanging on the tree, and that then the wrath of God, in its atoning character, coalesced with his legal wrath. In association with the doctrine that much of the sufferings of Christ on the cross were without any atoning object or effect, Mr. Darby, advancing a step farther, denies that the atonement for our sins consisted even in Christ's death. But as it is probable some persons will find it difficult to believe that any man, professing to hold evangelical principles, and especially the leader of an important religious sect, also professing to be sound in the faith, could entertain such notions." James Grant wrote: "With the deadly heresies entertained and taught by the Plymouth Brethren, in relation to some of the most momentous of all the doctrines of the Gospel, and to which I have adverted at some length, I feel assured that my readers will not be surprised at any other views, however unscriptural and pernicious they may be, which the Darbyites have embraced and zealously seek to propagate!" Prior to 1830, NOT EVEN ONE CHURCH taught the pre-trib rapture in their creed, catechism or statement of faith!!! NOTE: There will be 2 Comings of Jesus on the SAME LAST DAY. The first Coming will be FOR HIS SAINTS and the 2nd Coming WITH HIS SAINTS RIDING ON WHITE HORSES right after the Marriage Feast of the LAMB!! Revelation 19:6-8,11,13,14,19,20: Hallelujah! For the Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him glory! For the wedding of the LAMB has come and His bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean was given her to wear.... I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose Rider is called Faithful and True...He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood and His name is the Word of God. THE ARMIES OF HEAVEN WERE FOLLOWING HIM RIDING ON WHITE HORSES and dressed in fine linen white and clean (See Rev 19:8 above}... Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth AND THEIR ARMIES gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and His army. But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. {See Rev 13:11-17} The two of them were thrown ALIVE into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. Rev 20:10: And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.{Just like all their followers as per Rev 14:9-11} Revelation 17:14: They will make war against the LAMB, but the LAMB will overcome them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and with Him will be His CALLED, CHOSEN {HIS ELECT} and FAITHFUL followers!! {RIDING ON FLYING WHITE HORSES which will be the saints transportation in the NEW EARTH* Jude 14,15: "See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of His holy ones {HIS ELECT Riding White Horses} to judge everyone, and to convict ALL the ungodly!!" I Corinthians 15:22-24: For as in Adam all die, so in Christ ALL will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ, the Firstfruits; THEN WHEN HE COMES those who belong to Him. THEN THE END WILL COME {Not 1260 days later!!}, when He hands over the Kingdom to God the Father!! And so the saints will be resurrected on the LAST DAY and then AFTER the Marriage Feast of the LAMB, the lost will be resurrected later on the SAME LAST DAY. And so this explains Matthew 24:40: Jesus says, "Two will be in the field, one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill one will be taken and the other left!" Matthew 25:31-34,41,46: Jesus says, "WHEN the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him. He will sit on His throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him and He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on His left. Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed by My Father, take your inheritance the Kingdom prepared for you.'... Then He will say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal for prepared for the devil and his angels.' ... THEN they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." Now the Pre-Tribbers love to quote a promise made to the Church at Philadelphia in AD 96: Revelation 3:1,10: Jesus said, "To the angel of the church at Philadelphia write... Since you have kept My command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going that is going to come on the whole {Roman} world to test those who live on the earth." In Ad 96 the Roman Caesar, Domitian, decreed that everyone in the Roman world must worship idols of former Roman Caesars or else they would be killed or put in prison. And because of this decree John was put in prison in AD 96 on the Isle of Patmos as per Revelation 1:9. However, Jesus did not make the same promise to the future Great Tribulation saints: Matthew 24:9: Jesus says, "THEN you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by ALL NATIONS because of Me!" Revelation 13:5-10: The Beast will be given authority for 42 {30-day} months...He will be given power to make war against the SAINTS and to conquer them. And he will be given authority over EVERY tribe, people language and NATION All inhabitants of the earth will worship the Beast--all whose names have not been written in the Book of Life belonging to the LAMB{CHURCH SAINTS}. He who has an ear let him hear: If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed. This calls for patient endurance on the part of the SAINTS! Revelation 12:11: They overcame him by the blood of the LAMB and by the word of their testimony: They did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death!! {Just Like Jesus!}! Read Revelation 6:9-11 and Revelation 7:9,13-15!!! Revelation 6:9-11: When He {Jesus} opened the 5th seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain {MARTYRS LIKE JESUS} because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood? Then each of them were given a WHITE ROBE, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed {TRIBULATION MARTYRS} as they had been was COMPLETED. This was COMPLETED just before the trumpet plagues in Revelation 8 & 9. Revelation 7:9,13-15,17: After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from EVERY NATION, TRIBE, PEOPLE AND LANGUAGE standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb {Jesus} They were wearing WHITE ROBES. And they cried out in a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne , and to the Lamb...Then one of the {24} ELDERS asked me, "Those in WHITE ROBES--who are they, and where did they come from?" And he said, "These are they who have come out of the GREAT TRIBULATION {MARTYRS LIKE JESUS}, they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the LAMB {CHURCH SAINTS}. Therefore, They are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple...The LAMB in the center of the throne will be their Shepherd!" And so the Pre-Trib teaching that the Great Tribulation is only a TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE is a complete fairy tale since there will be a "GREAT MULTITUDE THAT NO ONE COULD COUNT FROM EVERY NATION, TRIBE, PEOPLE AND LANGUAGE" who will be MARTYRED during the Great Tribulation!! They will be all filled with the HOLY SPIRIT {Mark 13:11} and washed in the blood of the LAMB {Rev 7::15 & 12:11} and whose names are written in the LAMB'S Book of Life as per Revelation 13:8!! Actually the TIME OF JACOB"S TROUBLE in Jeremiah 30:7 that the Pre-Tribbers love to quote has nothing to do with the end-times and ONLY refers to Israel's 70-year captivity in Babylon!! Jeremiah 30:7 in context: Jeremiah 30:1-3;7-10: This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: 'Write in a book all the words I have spoken to you. The days are coming,'declares the Lord, 'when I will bring My people Israel and restore them to the land I gave their ancestors to possess,' says the Lord."... "It will be a TIME OF TROUBLE FOR JACOB, but he will BE SAVED OUT OF IT. "In that day,' declares the Lord almighty, 'I will break the yoke off their necks... Instead they will serve the Lord their God....I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their exile. Jacob will again have peace and security!" Jeremiah 29:10: This is what the Lord says, "When 70 years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill My good promise to bring you back to this place." The Great Tribulation MARTYRS who are AWAKE in heaven are mentioned over 20 times during the 1260-day Great Tribulation in Revelation 6:9-11; 7:9,10,13-17; 12:11; 13:10; 14:13; 15:2-4; 16:7; 16:24 and 19:2!! Revelation 4:4 Surrounding God's throne were 24 OTHER THRONES, on seated on them were 24 ELDERS. They were dressed in WHITE and had crowns of Gold on their heads! Th 24 Elders on 24 Thrones surrounding God's throne are mentioned 10 times during the 1260-day Great Tribulation in Revelation 4:4,10; 5:6,8.11,14; 7:11,13; 14:3 and 19:4. WHO ARE THE 24 ELDERS ON 24 THRONES SURROUNDING GOD'S THRONE IN HEAVEN DURING THE 1260-DAY GREAT TRIBULATION?? Matthew 19:28: Jesus said to his Apostles, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you have FOLLOWED ME {The Apostle Paul instead of Judas] will ALSO SIT ON 12 THRONES, JUDGING!! Luke 22:29,30: Jesus said to His Apostles, "I confer on you a Kingdom, just as My Father conferred one on Me, so that you may eat and drink at My table in My Kingdom and sit on THRONES, JUDGING!!" WHO DESERVES TO SIT ON THE OTHER 12 THRONES SURROUNDING GOD'S THRONE?? And certainly 12 OT Super saints of God will also deserve sitting on the other 12 THRONES surrounding God's throne such as Abraham, David, Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Isaiah, Samuel, Jeremiah, Joseph , Joshua, Noah and Enoch!! I Corinthians 15:51,52: Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all SLEEP{Since the Martyrs and 24 Elders on Thrones are AWAKE} but we will all be changed--in a flash, in a twinkling of an eye, at the Last {7TH} Trumpet!! It is interesting to note that the millions of CHURCH SAINTS of the last almost 2,000 years; who the pre-tribbers claim were raptured into heaven with new heavenly bodies just before the Great Tribulation; and would be before God's throne with Jesus. They are not even mentioned ONCE during the Great Tribulation in heaven in chapters 4 thru 18. The only saints mentioned in Revelation during the Great Tribulation are the MARTYRS {20 times} and the 24 ELDERS {10 times} who sit on 24 Thrones surrounding God's Throne in heaven!! However, most of the Pre-Trib super theologians {???} claim that the 24 Elders who sit on 24 Thrones surrounding God's throne as per Rev 4:4 are really millions of raptured CHURCH SAINTS????? Probably the best way to convert a pre-tribber is to have them read 2 Thessalonians 1,6-10 every day for 7 days; since God's Word shows that the CHURCH SAINTS will be resurrected and judged ON THE SAME DAY as the lost!! 2 Thessalonians 1:1,6-10: �To the CHURCH of the Thessalonians� God is just; He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen WHEN the Lord Jesus is REVEALED {See I Peter 1:13} from heaven in blazing fire�. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord ON THE DAY HE COMES to be glorified in His holy people {CHURCH SAINTS}!! This includes YOU {Thessalonian CHURCH SAINTS} As we have shown with countless Scripture all of the Great Tribulation saints will be saved by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB{Rev 7:14; 12:11}, are in the LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE{Rev 13:8}; are filled with the HOLY SPIRIT{Mark 13:11} and whenever 2 or more of these extremely brave and courageous Tribulation saints get together to worship you have a *CHURCH!! God has always allowed His people to SUFFER TRIBULATION* and trials because they purify and perfect their faith and will gain countless eternal rewards when Jesus Christ is REVEALED. There are over 40,000 saints martyred every year and the main culprit is no longer just Islam and the RC Church. Millions of saints were martyred by the Communist atheist countries after 1917 in Russia and after 1948 in China and then in North Korea and Vietnam. Many more millions were killed by Japan 1937-1945 and by the Fascists in Italy and Germany 1922-1945. THE FOLLOWING VERSES CAN NOT BE FOUND IN THE PRE-TRIB BIBLE!! Romans 8:35-37: �Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?... For your sake WE FACE DEATH ALL DAY LONG; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us!� John 13:34: Jesus says, "A NEW COMMAND* I give you: *LOVE one another As I have LOVED you, so you must LOVE one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples." John 15:12,13: Jesus says, "My command is this: LOVE each other as I have LOVED you. Greater LOVE has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. I John 3:16: This is how we know what LOVE is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lLAY DOWN OUR LIVES for our brothers! I Peter 2:20b,21: �But if you SUFFER FOR DOING GOOD and endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow IN HIS STEPS I Peter 4:12,13: �Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But REJOICE THAT YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST, so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is REVEALED!� Matthew 5:10-12 Jesus says, �Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. REJOICE* and be glad, because GREAT IS YOUR REWARD in heaven!!" 2 Timothy 3:12: �In fact, EVERYONE who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted!� Romans 5:3: �But we REJOICE IN OUR SUFFERINGS because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope! Philippians 1:29: For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on Him, but also to SUFFER FOR HIM! Philippians 3:10: �I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of SHARING IN HIS SUFFERINGS! Revelation 12:11: �They overcame him {666} by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB {CHURCH SAINTS} and by the word of their testimony; for they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death!� Rev 2:10: Jesus says, �Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the CROWN OF LIFE.� Matthew 24:3,9-13: The disciples {CHURCH SAINTS} asked Jesus, �What will be the sign of your Coming and the end of the age?? Jesus answered�.. {During the Great Tribulation} �Then YOU will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and YOU will be hated by all nations because of Me. At that time many will turn away from the Faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of MOST* will grow cold, {THE GREAT APOSTASY} but he {The Called, Chosen & Faithful-Rev 17:14b} who stands firm to the End will be saved.� The GREAT APOSTASY at the beginning of the Great Tribulation is called a REBELLION in 2 Thessalonians 2:3!! 2 Thessalonians 1:1; 2:1,3: To the CHURCH of the Thessalonians... Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus and our {CHURCH SAINTS} being gathered to Him... Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for THAT DAY will not come UNTIL the REBELLION {THE GREAT APOSTASY} occurs and the man of lawlessness {666} is revealed!! It is interesting to note Jesus told His disciples what would take place just before the Great Tribulation In Matthew 24:4-8 and a Pre-Trib Rapture is NOT MENTIONED and then Jesus said in Matthew 24:9 "THEN {During the Great Tribulation} YOU {CHURCH SAINTS} will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, an you will be hated by all nations because of Me. At that time many will turn away from the Faith!" {THE GREAT APOSTASY} Revelation 13:5,7-10: The Beast will be given authority for 42 months.. He will be given power to make war against the SAINTS and to conquer them... All inhabitants of the earth will worship the Beast--all whose names have not been written in the Book of Life belonging to the LAMB. {CHURCH SAINTS} He who has an ear let him hear: If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword with the sword he will be killed. This calls for patient endurance on the part of the SAINTS! Revelation 14:12,13: This calls for patient endurance on the part of the SAINTS who obey God's {NT} commandments and remain faithful to Jesus! {CHURCH SAINTS} Then I heard a Voice from heaven say, "BLESSED are the dead who die in the Lord from now on!" *Yes," says the Spirit, "They will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them!" This will come as a tremendous shock for those who teach the Prosperity Gospel and who are mainly seeking earthly treasures rather than eternal Heavenly Rewards. They teach: If you accept Jesus as your Savior you have a free pass to Heaven and God forbid that you should suffer any persecution or go through the Post Reply
GospelofChrist^ View Profile History	Salvation is 100% Free while Eternal Rewards ar 100% Earned Posted : 13 Jul, 2017 07:32 PM Welfare salvation, free money no works. False, it takes works to remain saved as faith without works is dead. 100% conditional salvation no such thing as unconditional salvation or unconditional love. No works to get saved it was the gift of God, now that we are saved we have to work to remain saved. If you want to be an athlete in the Olympics you work and strive to be the best. It does not come to you like a rock from heaven hitting you on the head and bang that is all you need to do. If it does not take works then you are calling Christ a liar and no lies came out of his mouth unlike what you are doing is perverting and twisting the word of God to call God and Father of Jesus and his Son Jesus liars. Jesus is not coming back for those liars who perverts his words. Fruit and works go hand in hand just like an athlete achieves results by hard works. Luke 13:24] Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. Philippians 2:12] Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. [13] For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 1st Thess 1:3] Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; [4] Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. Titus 3:[5] Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; [6] Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; [7] That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. [8] This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. [9] But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. [10] A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; [11] Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. [12] When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter. [13] Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. [14] And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. Hebrews 12:[3] For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. [4] Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. [5] And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: [6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. [7] If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? James 2:14] What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? [15] If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, [16] And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? [17] Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. [18] Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. [19] Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. [20] But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? [21] Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? [22] Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? [23] And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. [24] Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. [25] Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? [26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. Post Reply

The Old Testament had 613 laws and the New Covenant of Jesus and His love has about 400 commands which Psalm 119 also applies to. Some of my favorite verses is Psalm 119 are: 119:105: Your Word is a Lamp to my feet and a Light for my path. 119:97: Oh how I love your law, I meditate on it all day long. 119:148: My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I meditate on your promises. 119:164: Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous laws. 119:16: All your Words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal. 119:169: Give me understanding according to your Word. 119:2: Blessed are those who keep His statues and seek Him with all your heart. 119:11: I have hidden your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You. 119:28: Strengthen me according to your Word. Deut 18:17-19: The Lord says, "I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put My words in His mouth, and He will tell them everything I command Him. If anyone does not listen to My words that the Prophet speaks in My Name, I Myself will call Him to account." John 14:23,24: Jesus says, "If anyone loves Me, He will OBEY MY TEACHING! My Father will love Him, and we will come to him and make Our home with him. He 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." Revelation 1:1-3: The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must take place. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, who testifies to everything he saw--that is, the WORD OF GOD and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads the WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it!! 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 anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this Book {Including ETERNAL HELL} And if anyone TAKES WORDS AWAY** 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!� 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! Matthew 4:4: Jesus says, "Man does not live on bread alone, but on EVERY WORD FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD!" Matthew 7:24,26: Jesus says, "Everyone who hears these WORDS OF MINE and PUTS THEM INTO PRACTICE is like a wise man who built his house on a Rock... But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand." Luke 8:21: Jesus says, "My mother and brothers are those who hears GOD'S WORD and PUTS THEM INTO PRACTICE!" James 1:22,25: Do not merely listen to the WORD, and so deceive yourselves. DO WHAT IT SAYS... The man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, BUT DOING IT, he will be blessed in what he does. Matthew 13:23: Jesus says, "But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the WORD AND UNDERSTANDS IT. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." John 15:1,2,5,16: Jesus says, "I am the True Vine and my Father is the Gardener. He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful!... This is to my Father's glory that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples!... You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit--fruit that will last!" 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." John 17:17: Jesus prays to His Father, "Sanctify them by the Truth, YOUR WORD IS TRUTH!" 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! James 1:18; He chose to give us BIRTH THROUGH THE WORD of Truth!! I Corinthians 15:2: By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the WORD preached to you. Otherwise you have believed in vain! 2 Corinthians 2:17: Unlike so many, we do not peddle the WORD OF GOD for profit! 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. Ephesians 2:17: Take the sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD OF GOD! 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 2:15: Do your best to present yourselves to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who CORRECTLY HANDLES THE WORD of truth! 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!!} THE FATHER LOVES HIS FAITHUL SAINTS JUST AS MUCH AS HE LOVES JESUS John 17:23: Jesus says to His Father, "You sent Me and have LOVED THEM even as you LOVED Me!!" JESUS LOVES HIS FAITHFUL SAINTS JUST AS MUCH AS THE FATHER LOVES HIM!! John 15:9,10" Jesus says, "As the Father LOVED Me, so I have LOVED you!! Now remain in My LOVE . IF you obey My commands, you will remain in My LOVE , just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in His LOVE !" John 14:21,23: Jesus says, "Whoever has My commands and obeys them, he is the one who LOVES Me! He who loves Me will be LOVED by My Father, and I will LOVE him....If anyone LOVES Me, he will obey My teaching. My Father will LOVE him, and we will come to him and make Our home with him!!" I John 3:18: Dear children, let us not LOVE with words or tongue but with actions and in truth! WHAT'S LOVEGOT TO DO WITH IT?? I Peter 1:22: "Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere LOVE for your brothers, LOVE one another deeply, from the heart. For you have been born again... through the living and enduring Word of God! I Peter 4:8: ABOVE ALL, LOVE each other DEEPLY, because LOVEcovers over a multitude of sins! I Corinthians 13:2,4-8: If I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not LOVE I am nothing...LOVE is patient, LOVE is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. LOVE does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. LOVE never fails!!" John 13:34: Jesus says, "A NEW command I give you: *LOVE one another As I have LOVED you, so you must LOVE one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples." John 15:12,13: Jesus says, "My command is this: LOVE each other as I have LOVED you. Greater LOVE has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. I John 3:16: This how we know what LOVE is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers! Ephesians 5:1,2: Be IMITATORS OF GOD, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of LOVE, just as Christ LOVED us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God! Luke 6:27,28,35,36: Jesus says, "LOVE your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. LOVE your enemies, do good to them. and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your REWARD will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful!" Matthew 28:19.20� Jesus commands, �Go and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to OBEY EVERYTHING I have commanded you!� {See I John 2:3-5} EVERYTHING would also include all the other commands in God's inspired Word from Acts to Revelation as per 2 Timothy 3:16: 4:2: "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...Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction." If we really LOVE our brothers and sister in Christ we will lovingly teach them to obey all the approximately 400 commands of the NT with LOVE in the hope of countless eternal rewards when Jesus comes with great power with all His angels. Revelation 22:112: Jesus says, "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done!? Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, For 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." Ephesians 4:15: "Speaking the Truth in LOVE , we will in all things grow up into Him who is the Head, that is, Christ! From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in LOVE , as each part does its work." Ephesians 3:17-19: "I pray that you, being rooted and established in LOVE may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the LOVE of Christ, and to know this LOVE that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God!!" I John 4:7-12: Dear friends, let us LOVE one another, for LOVE comes from God. Everyone who LOVES has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not LOVE does not know God, because God is LOVE. This is how God showed His LOVEamong us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is LOVE, not that we LOVED God, but that He LOVED us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so LOVED us, we ought to LOVE one another. No one has ever seen God, but if we LOVE one another, God lives in us and His LOVE is made complete in us! Romans 8:35,37-39: Who shall separate us from the LOVE of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?...We are more than conquerors through Him who LOVED us! For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the LOVE of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!!

GospelofChrist^ View Profile History	Salvation is 100% Free while Eternal Rewards ar 100% Earned Posted : 15 Jul, 2017 07:35 AM You might want to take an English 101 course as the word ((and)) is a conjunction joining two separate thoughts to a sentence. Titus 2 is NOT saying our Great God our Saviour Jesus Christ. It says Great God ((and)) our Saviour Jesus Christ. Then it goes on talking about Jesus the Son of God who was crucified for us. In Hebrews 1:8 when God was saying thy throne O God is forever and ever. ‎Isaiah 9:6‎ ((his name)) shall be called)) NOT ((My name)) He=him=his I=me=my‎ The mighty God and NOT the almighty God and Father. The next verse it shows a conversation of Jesus the Son of God being told by his God and Father. Hebrews 1:[8] But unto the Son he saith, ((God the Father)) Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.‎‎ Hebrews 1:9] Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore ((I)) God, even thy ((your)) God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.‎ John 10:30 is Basic 101 English as the word ((and)) NOT ((am)) is used. The word ((and)) is a conjunction word of a separate thought. Example in everyday grammar in the carnal with your earthly father. I ((and)) my father make a great team, I ((and)) my father are one. You are not your father and your father is not you as you two are separate entities but you are of one accordsame mind. Very basic English 101 to show two separate thoughts being combined. con·junc·tion noun a word used to connect clauses or sentences or to coordinate words in the same clause (e.g., and, but, if ). the action or an instance of two or more events or things occurring at the same point in time or space. The key to understanding John 10 is verse 25 down. Jesus was using third party English and not first or second party. Third party a party that is not seen but is talked about. When was the last time a newspaper editor quoted the ending of a conversation and not the whole thing in context? A major part of John 10 is verse 29. Then Colossions 1:12-14 is the example of what Jesus is talking about and reinforces verse 29-30 in John 10. John 10:25] Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in --->my Father's name, <--- they bear witness of me. [26] But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. [27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: [28] And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] --->M‎y Father, <--- ‎ which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my ---> F‎ather's hand. <---‎ [30] I and my Father are one. Col 1:12] Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:‎ [13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: [14] In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:‎ God With Us = He Sent His Son Jesus John 3:16& Mark 12:1-11 We read a scripture most men use all the time and stumble over what it is telling them. Lots of preachers and theologians and sheep who are blind use this to mean God the Father came down and be with us in the flesh, which is not the case. Matthew 1: [22] Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, [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. Amen, Jesus Christ the Son of God is not God in any way shape or forum, just like you and I are not your mother or father in any way shape or form as we are different beings/entity. We have the looks of our parents our mother’s and father’s DNA on the earth yes, we are the image of our parents but not the actual parents. This is what Christianity cannot comprehend in the scriptures as they are too busty looking at God instead of looking at the words of the Son of God Jesus Christ. Man just perverts this scripture big time Matthew 1:22-23. Galatians 1: 6] I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: [7] Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. [8] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. [9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. [10] For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. Amen, it is a false gospel to say that God the Father came in the flesh when he sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and man are going to hell by the train loads for believing and confessing the wrong thing. When I read these scriptures with the mind of Christ from the bible and put it all together it is telling me that God the Father is still for Israel as he sent his Son John 3:16. Jesus Christ the Son of God never mentioned that he was God his Father in the flesh or in any way shape or form. When we read John 3:6-18 and Mark 12:1-12. We can see that Jesus was not at all saying he is God in the flesh but telling us he was sent from his Father in heaven and Jesus became the mighty God and not the almighty God and Father as all power was passed unto him from God his Father. Mark 12: [1] And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. [2] And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. [3] And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. [4] And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. [5] And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. [6] Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. [7] But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. [8] And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. [9] What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. [10] And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: [11] This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? [12] And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way. John 3: [16] For God so lov((ed)) the world, that he ((gave)) his only begotten Son, that ((whosoever)) believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. [17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Amen, John 3:16 is past tense as it was written after the death of Jesus Christ by the Apostle John and not written during when Jesus was alive then it would be present tense not past tense as John 3:16 has no love it is John 3:18. John 3:16 is past tense and conditional love. This is the trick of the devil and by man who do not understand basic 101 English. 2nd Cor 4: [3] But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: [4] In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Amen, when we read in Mark 12 Jesus telling a parable we read the owner/lord of the vineyard was God his Father. God sent many prophets and many messengers and still people refuse to listen, finally he sent his son. Just like John 3:16 God sent his Son. Just like Matthew 23:34-39 we see many prophets and scribes etc. sent. However, despite them being stoned and killed the owner sent his Son, just like God the Father sent his Son as he was still for Israel. The owner/lord of the vine yard was still trying to reach out to those husbandmen to get some fruit out of people to wake them up. Finally after sending the son was sent and they did not want anything to do with him. The finally thing that lord/owner of the vineyard to do was to destroy those husbandman who refused to hear. Man has been rejecting and not hearing the words of the Son of God Jesus Christ and they just want to hear God thinking they have it all. Forget it, God and Father of Jesus can only be patient for so long before he will put an end to all this. Mark 12:[1] And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. [2] And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. [3] And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. [4] And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. [5] And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. [6] Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. [7] But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. [8] And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. [9] What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. [10] And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: [11] This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?‎ Proverbs 1: 22] How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? [23] Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. [24] Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; [25] But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: [26] I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; [27] When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. [28] Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: [29] For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: [30] They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. [31] Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. [32] For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. [33] But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. Amen, Jesus told us the same parable in another form Matthew 23:34-39 Matthew 23: 34] Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: [35] That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. [36] Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. [37] O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! [38] Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. [39] For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Amen, man has been rejecting the Son of God and just looking at God and turing the grace of God into lasciviousness. Jude 1: [4] For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen, Israel rejected God and wanted Moses to talk to them as they were afraid of God the Father. Exodus 20: 18] And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. [19] And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. [20] And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. Amen, man does not want to be talked to by God the Father and now after the cross by his Son Jesus. Man will always want to minster to Jesus Christ telling him where to go instead him telling man what to do. Christianity does not want to be talked to by Jesus they would rather hear God a trick from the devil, as God the Father has nothing for mankind, neither does Jesus Christ the Son of God, it is now in the words of Jesus Christ the Son of God. Matthew 20: 25] But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. [26] But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; [27] And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: [28] Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Hebrews 1: [1] God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, [2] Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; [3] Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; [4] Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Amen, when the bible is telling us that God is with us he sent his Son Jesus and he was not against Israel. Romans 11:[1] I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. [2] God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, [3] Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. [4] But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. [5] Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. [6] And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. [7] What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded [8] (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. [9] And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompence unto them: [10] Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. [11] I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. [12] Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? [13] For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: [14] If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. [15] For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? [16] For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. [17] And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; [18] Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. [19] Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. [20] Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: [21] For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. [22] Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. [23] And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. [24] For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? [25] For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. [26] And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: [27] For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. Amen, Israel refused as prophesied and the gentiles received the word with gladness. Acts 13: 42] And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. [43] Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. [44] And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. [45] But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. [46] Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. [47] For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. [48] And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. Isaiah 62: 1] For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. [2] And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. [3] Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Amen, man are so far off the mark who Jesus Christ the Son of God is, they have no clue before and after the cross. John 8: [14] Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. [15] Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. [16] And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. [17] It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. [18] I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. [19] Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. Amen, two separate people and Jesus has been declared to be the Son of God long time ago. Romans 1: [1] Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, [2] (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) [3] Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; [4] And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: [5] By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: [6] Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: [7] To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. [8] First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. [9] For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; [10] Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 1st Cor 3: [10] According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. [11] For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; [13] Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. Amen, man are building their financial empire upon Jesus Christ the Son of God and rejecting him and just talking about perverse things that God the Father never did and that is come in the flesh. God sent his Son in the likeness of sinful flesh. Romans 8: [3] For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: [4] That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Amen, read your bible and walk in the Spirit of the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and you will produce good fruit ready to meet Jesus in the air when he returns. Song of Solomon 2: [1] I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. [2] As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. [3] As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. John 15: 1] I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. [2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. [3] Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. [4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. [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 ye can do nothing. [6] If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. [7] If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. [8] Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. [9] As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. Galatians 5: 22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Amen, evangelist Andrew Kelly here once again with the truth from the Gospel of Christ the King James Bible with no compromise. Jesus Christ the Son of God never compromised he taught what is written. 1st Peter 2: 19] For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. [20] For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. [21] For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: [22] Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: [23] Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: [24] Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. [25] For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. Amen, Jesus Christ the Son of God told us in Matthew chapter 5 is this. Matthew 5: 10] Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [11] Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. [12] Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. [13] Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. [14] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Amen, man are letting the devil shine in them and they think it is of God, it is of god alright not the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, but the god of this world. 2nd Cor 11: 12] But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. [13] For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. [14] And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. [15] Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. 2nd Cor 4: [1] Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; [2] But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. [3] But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: [4] In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them Ephesians 2: 1] And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; [2] Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: [3] Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. [4] But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, [5] Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) [6] And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: [7] That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. Amen, we have so many deceived and confused people who have no clue what the bible says they are lost led by blind leaders of the blind who just like Hollywood has great one liners and no truth. Lots of people quote scripture and they have no clue what it means ask Billy Graham, or Charles Stanley, or Chuck Swindoll. All quoting scripture and no clue what it means just after the pocketbook. Titus 1: 10] For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: [11] Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. [12] One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. [13] This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; [14] Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. [15] Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. [16] They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. 1st Timothy 6: [3] If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; [4] He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, [5] Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. [6] But godliness with contentment is great gain. Isaiah 56: 10] His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. [11] Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. [12] Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant. Amen, it is reality that these people are just after the pocketbook and not for the saving of the soul. When the preacher starts printing out book(s) of some kind by using vain deceit and philosophy twisting the scriptures, they are not a man of God but a man for the people and not a man for the God and Father of Jesus Christ a vessel unto honour. Ecc 12: [11] The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. [12] And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. [13] Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. [14] For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. 2nd Peter 2: 1] But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. [2] And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. [3] And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. Ephesians 5: [6] Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. [7] Be not ye therefore partakers with them. [8] For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: [9] (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) [10] Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. [11] And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. [12] For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. [13] But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. [14] Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. [15] See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, [16] Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. [17] Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. Amen, we see the fruit of this every day in the local churches. Ezekiel 34: [1] And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, [2] Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? [3] Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock. [4] The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. [5] And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. [6] My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them. [7] Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; [8] As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; [9] Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; [10] Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. [11] For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. [12] As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. [13] And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. [14] I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. [15] I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD. [16] I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment. Matthew 23: [13] But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. [14] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. [15] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. Mark 8: 36] For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? [37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? [38] Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Amen, it is reality what goes on inside the churches and we are told to come out from among them not just stay there like a bump on a log. 2nd Cor 6: [14] Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? [15] And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? [16] And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. [17] Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, [18] And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. Rev 18: [4] And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. [5] For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Amen, getting into the teaching of the Gospel of Christ we read a scripture most men use all the time and have no clue what it is telling them. Lots of preachers and theologians and sheep who are blind use this to mean God the Father came down and be with us in the flesh, which is not the case. Matthew 1: [22] Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, [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. Amen, Jesu s Christ the Son of God is not God in any way shape or forum, just like you and I are not your mother or father in any way shape or form as we are different beings/entity. We have the looks of our parents our mother’s and father’s DNA on the earth yes, we are the image of our parents but not the actual parents. This is what Christianity cannot comprehend in the scriptures as they are too busty looking at God instead of looking at the words of the Son of God Jesus Christ. Man just perverts this scripture big time Matthew 1:22-23. Galatians 1: 6] I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: [7] Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. [8] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. [9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. [10] For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. Amen, it is a false gospel to say that God the Father came in the flesh when he sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and man are going to hell by the train loads for believing and confessing the wrong thing. When I read these scriptures with the mind of Christ from the bible and put it all together it is telling me that God the Father is still for Israel as he sent his Son John 3:16. Jesus Christ the Son of God never mentioned that he was God his Father in the flesh or in any way shape or form. When we read John 3:6-18 and Mark 12:1-12. We can see that Jesus was not at all saying he is God in the flesh but telling us he was sent from his Father in heaven and Jesus became the mighty God and not the almighty God and Father as all power was passed unto him from God his Father. Mark 12: [1] And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. [2] And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. [3] And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. [4] And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. [5] And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. [6] Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. [7] But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. [8] And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. [9] What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. [10] And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: [11] This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? [12] And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way. John 3: [16] For God so lov((ed)) the world, that he ((gave)) his only begotten Son, that ((whosoever)) believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. [17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Amen, John 3:16 is past tense as it was written after the death of Jesus Christ by the Apostle John and not written during when Jesus was alive then it would be present tense not past tense as John 3:16 has no love it is John 3:18. John 3:16 is past tense and conditional love. This is the trick of the devil and by man who do not understand basic 101 English. 2nd Cor 4: [3] But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: [4] In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Amen, when we read in Mark 12 Jesus telling a parable we read the owner/lord of the vineyard was God his Father. God sent many prophets and many messengers and still people refuse to listen, finally he sent his son. Just like John 3:16 God sent his Son. Just like Matthew 23:34-39 we see many prophets and scribes etc. sent. However, despite them being stoned and killed the owner sent his Son, just like God the Father sent his Son as he was still for Israel. The owner/lord of the vine yard was still trying to reach out to those husbandmen to get some fruit out of people to wake them up. Finally after sending the son was sent and they did not want anything to do with him. The finally thing that lord/owner of the vineyard to do was to destroy those husbandman who refused to hear. Man has been rejecting and not hearing the words of the Son of God Jesus Christ and they just want to hear God thinking they have it all. Forget it, God and Father of Jesus can only be patient for so long before he will put an end to all this. Proverbs 1: 22] How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? [23] Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. [24] Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; [25] But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: [26] I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; [27] When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. [28] Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: [29] For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: [30] They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. [31] Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. [32] For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. [33] But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. Amen, Jesus told us the same parable in another form Matthew 23:34-39 Matthew 23: 34] Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: [35] That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. [36] Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. [37] O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! [38] Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. [39] For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Amen, man has been rejecting the Son of God and just looking at God and turing the grace of God into lasciviousness. Jude 1: [4] For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen, Israel rejected God and wanted Moses to talk to them as they were afraid of God the Father. Exodus 20: 18] And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. [19] And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. [20] And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. Amen, man does not want to be talked to by God the Father and now after the cross by his Son Jesus. Man will always want to minster to Jesus Christ telling him where to go instead him telling man what to do. Christianity does not want to be talked to by Jesus they would rather hear God a trick from the devil, as God the Father has nothing for mankind, neither does Jesus Christ the Son of God, it is now in the words of Jesus Christ the Son of God. Matthew 20: 25] But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. [26] But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; [27] And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: [28] Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Hebrews 1: [1] God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, [2] Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; [3] Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; [4] Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Amen, when the bible is telling us that God is with us he sent his Son Jesus and he was not against Israel. Romans 11:[1] I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. [2] God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, [3] Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. [4] But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. [5] Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. [6] And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. [7] What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded [8] (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. [9] And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompence unto them: [10] Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. [11] I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. [12] Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? [13] For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: [14] If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. [15] For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? [16] For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. [17] And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; [18] Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. [19] Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. [20] Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: [21] For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. [22] Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. [23] And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. [24] For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? [25] For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. [26] And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: [27] For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. Amen, Israel refused as prophesied and the gentiles received the word with gladness. Acts 13: 42] And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. [43] Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. [44] And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. [45] But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. [46] Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. [47] For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. [48] And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. Isaiah 62: 1] For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. [2] And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. [3] Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Amen, man are so far off the mark who Jesus Christ the Son of God is, they have no clue before and after the cross. John 8: [14] Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. [15] Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. [16] And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. [17] It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. [18] I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. [19] Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. Amen, two separate people and Jesus has been declared to be the Son of God long time ago. Romans 1: [1] Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, [2] (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) [3] Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; [4] And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: [5] By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: [6] Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: [7] To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. [8] First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. [9] For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; [10] Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 1st Cor 3: [10] According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. [11] For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; [13] Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. Amen, man are building their financial empire upon Jesus Christ the Son of God and rejecting him and just talking about perverse things that God the Father never did and that is come in the flesh. God sent his Son in the likeness of sinful flesh. Romans 8: [3] For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: [4] That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Amen, read your bible and walk in the Spirit of the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and you will produce good fruit ready to meet Jesus in the air when he returns. Song of Solomon 2: [1] I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. [2] As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. [3] As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. John 15: 1] I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. [2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. [3] Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. [4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. [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 ye can do nothing. [6] If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. [7] If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. [8] Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. [9] As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. Galatians 5: 22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Post Reply

GospelofChrist^ View Profile History	Salvation is 100% Free while Eternal Rewards ar 100% Earned Posted : 16 Jul, 2017 04:35 PM You are way too late and way too out of context to establish another Gospel. It has been declared and settled in heaven Jesus is the Son of God in truth and in love. God never raised himself from the dead he raised his Son. Jesus was no Superman he was a weakling without the spirit of God his Father. Jesus never spoke his own words, could not give nothing to nobody, did not know when he was returning, had to learn by obedience, felt pain, talked about his Father in heaven. Big deal you believe in one God so does the devil, so you are not impressing me with your out of context verses. You might want to take an English 101 course basic English words you have it all corrupted. Or you might want to haul garbage for a living as you might feel something as the only thing you are feeling after is the devil and vain deceit. Romans 1:1] Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, [2] (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) [3] Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; [4] And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: [5] By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: [6] Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: [7] To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. [8] First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. [9] For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; [10] Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. Acts 3:13] The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. [14] But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; [15] And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. [16] And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. [17] And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. [18] But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. [19] Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; [20] And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: [21] Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. [22] For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. [23] And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. [24] Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. [25] Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. [26] Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. Post Reply
View Profile History	Salvation is 100% Free while Eternal Rewards ar 100% Earned Posted : 17 Jul, 2017 06:55 AM *WILL THE GREAT TRIBULATION AND THE REIGN OF 666, THE BEAST OR THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION LAST EXACTLY 1260 DAYS OR 42 {30-DAY} MONTHS AND NOT 7 YEARS??? Note by comparing Revelation 12:6 and Revelation 12:14 we can know that time {360 days}, times {720 days}, and 1/2 a time {180 days} and 1260 days are the exact same period of time. 42 {30-day} months and 1260 days or time {12 months}, times {24 months} and 1/2 a time {6 months} are also the exact same period of time. {#1}* Daniel 12:1b,2,7b: �There will be a time of distress {The Great Tribulation} such as not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time {The Last Day} your people--EVERYONE whose name is found written in the book {Both OT & NT Saints}�will be delivered. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt�It will be for a time. times and half a time {Which is also 1260 days as per Rev 12:6,14, or 42 {30-day} months as per Rev 13:5} ALL these things will be COMPLETED. {#2}* Rev 13:5,7: The beast will be given a mouth to utter 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 WITH: {#3}Dan 7:25: �He 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} {Or 42 months} A SEVEN-YEAR GREAT TRIBULATION OR SEVEN-YEAR RULE OF 666 IS NEVER MENTIONED IN GOD'S WORD!! Daniel 9:24: 70 7's are decreed... to ATONE FOR WICKEDNESS{After 69 1/2 7's}, TO BRING IN EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS{After 70 7's} and TO ANOINT THE MOST HOLY*{After 69 7's or 483 years!!} The last half of the Last 7 would be the 1260-day Great Tribulation just before the glorious Coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on the Last Day of the 70th 7!! Luke 3:22,23: When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended on Him {ANOINTED} like a dove And a Voice came from heaven: "This is My Son, whom I love, with You I am well pleased!" Daniel 9:25: Know and understand this. From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed one, the Ruler, comes, there will be 62 7's and 7 7's {Or 69 7's which would be 483 years} And so the first half of the last 7 was already COMPLETED when Jesus put and END to all sacrifices for sin;1260 days after His Anointing which occurred after 69 7's. When the Anointed One came 69 7's or 483 years were 100% completed [See Dan 9:25 above} leaving just one 7 in the future after the Anointed One comes and then came a 1260-day New Covenant which ended when Jesus put an end to all sacrifices for sin. It is interesting to note that in Daniel 9:25 it states that 70 7's are decreed TO ATONE FOR WICKEDNESS* and therefore those who believe in a 7 year future Tribulation DO NO INCLUDE CHRIST'S ATONEMENT FOR SINS IN THE 70 '7s OR 490 YEAR PROPHECY!! since the coming of the Anointed One to earth took place on the last day of the 69 7's!!! or after 483 years!! Those who wrongly believe in a future 7-year Tribulation; must wrongly believe that the ATONEMENT FOR WICKEDNESS by Jesus about 3 1/2 years after His Anointing can not be included in the 70 7's Prophecy.!!! Hebrews 10:8-10: First He said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor were You pleased with them," although the law required them to be made. Then He said, "Here I am, I have come to do Your will." He sets aside the first TO ESTABLISH THE SECOND. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE FOR ALL!! Hebrews 9:22; 26-28: The law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS.... But now He has appeared ONCE FOR ALL at the end of the ages to do away with sin BY THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF!! Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people {In the middle of the last 7} He will appear a second time,{On the Last day of the 70th 7} not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him!! Daniel 9:26,27: The Anointed One will be cut off... He will confirm a Covenant for one seven. In the middle of the seven He will put and an end to sacrifice and offering{And then after a long pause}He will set up an Abomination of Desolation, {For 42 months} until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. { See Rev 19:20 & 2 Thess 2:8} What then, is the explanation of Matthew 24:15,16?? Matthew 24:15,16: So when you see standing in the HOLY PLACE 'the abomination that causes of desolation spoken of through the prophet Daniel {See Daniel 9:27b and Daniel 7:25} let the reader understand--then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 3 1/2 days before the Last Day of the Great Tribulation God will allow the Abomination of Desolation to kill His 2 witnesses {Moses & Elijah} in the HOLY PLACE* right where our Lord Jesus was crucified in Judea; and then those saints in Judea should flee to the mountains. Revelation 11:7-11,15,18: Now when they have finished their {1260-day} testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss {Or the Abomination of Desolation} will attack them, and overpower and kill them. {Then let those saints in Judea flee to the mountains as per Matt 24:16} Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city...where their Lord was crucified {The New Holy Place} For three and a half days men from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies {On Worldwide TV} and refuse them burial... But after three and half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet ... Then they heard a loud Voice from heaven saying to them , "COME UP HERE" And the went up to heaven in a cloud...The seventh angel sounded his trumpet , and there were loud voices in heaven, which said, "The kingdoms of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign for ever and ever...The time has come for judging the dead and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints... and for destroying those who destroy the earth!!" So then, how do you explain 2 Thessalonians 2:4?? 2 Thessalonians 2:4: He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God. Revelation 13:15-17: He {the False Prophet of 666} will be given power to give breath to the image of the first beast {666} so that it could speak! and cause all who refused TO WORSHIP the image to be killed. He also forced everyone to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that 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} And when 666 kills God's powerful 2 witnesses in the new HOLY PLACE right where their Lord was crucified; he will claim to be God! 666 will also be able to persecute and kill God's saints who are the new TEMPLE OF GOD!! I Corinthians 3:16,17: Don't you know that you yourselves are *GOD'S TEMPLE and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and YOU ARE THAT TEMPLE!! 2 Corinthians 6:16: For WE ARE THE TEMPLE of the living God!! Revelation 11:1: "Go and measure the TEMPLE OF GOD and count the worshipers there!" Revelation 7:14,15: These are they who have come out of the Great Tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the LAMB. Therefore, they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His Temple! INTERESTING 70 YEAR TIME PERIODS IN BIBLE PROPHECY!! It is interesting to note that the Kings of Israel ruled 490 Years or 70 YEARS times 7 years, which was immediately followed by a 70 YEAR exile of the Jews, which was then immediately followed by the amazing prophesy of the 70 YEARS times 7 years Prophecy in Daniel 9:24-27; which will end with the 2nd coming of Jesus and EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS!! Also in the prophecy of the 70 YEARS times 7 years it states in Daniel 7:26 "The people of the {Roman} ruler who will come will destroy the city {Jerusalem} and the Sanctuary." This prophecy was fulfilled and the Jews exiled again in AD 70 until the rebirth of Israel at midnight, May 14th, 1948!! The 70 YEAR Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel will take place at midnight on MAY 14TH, 2018?? Daniel 9:24-27: Seventy "sevens" {70 YEARS times 7 or 490 years} are decreed for your people and your holy city to ANOINT THE MOST HOLY {After 483 Years}, to ATONE FOR WICKEDNESS {After 486 1/2 years} and to bring in EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS {On the Last Day of the Last 1260-day Tribulation or 490 total years}...From the issuing of the decree {By King Cyrus--See Isaiah 44:28} until the Anointed One comes {On October 5th AD 29}, there will be 62 7's and 7 7's {Or 69 7's or 483 years}... Then {3 1/2 years or 1278 days later} the Anointed One will be cut off...He will confirm a Covenant with many for one 7 {Or the Last 7 years}. In the middle of the 'seven' {After 3 1/2 years} He {The Anointed One} will put an END TO SACRIFICES and offering.{On April 3-5 AD 33} {And then after a long pause} He will set up an abomination that causes desolation {666} for 1260 days, until the decreed end is poured out on him at the 2nd Coming of Jesus {As per Rev 19:19,20 and 2 Thess 2:8} Which will bring in EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS on the Last Day of the 70 YEARS times 7 Prophecy! Luke 3:21,22: When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on Him {ANOINTING} in bodily form like a dove. And a Voice came from heaven, "You are My Son, whom I love, with You I am well pleased!" This Anointing and Coming of the Anointed One took place after 69 7's or 483 years and then the Anoited One ATONED FOR WICKEDNESS And put an end to all SACRIFICES FOR SIN 3 1/2 years later after 69 1/2 7's or 486 1/2 years! And then after the 3 1/2 year Great Tribulation the 2nd Coming of the Anointed One will bring in EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS!! Matthew 18::21,22: Peter asked Jesus, "How many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not 7 times, but 70 times 7 times!" {See NIV footnote} Jesus is called the Son of David 17 times and David lived exactly 70 YEARS as per 2 Samuel 5:4. Acts 1:6,7: The disciples asked Jesus, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" Jesus said , "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority." Luke 21:5,6,23,24: Some of His disciples were remarking about how the Temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, "As for what you see here, the time will come {In AD 70} when not one stone will be left on another, every one of them will be thrown down!... There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations {In AD 70}. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are FULFILLED!" This prophecy was FULFILLED and The kingdom was restored to Israel at 2 minutes after midnight on May 14th, AD 1948. It is interesting to note that 70 YEARS after 2 minutes after midnight, May 14th, 1948 will be 2 minutes after midnight, on MAY 14TH, 2018!!??? By a very interesting coincidence this prophesy and the rising of Jesus to heaven took place exactly 40 days after the Resurrection of Jesus when our Savior put an end to all sacrifices for sin in the middle of the last 7 years of the 70 YEARS times 7 years !! The Resurrection of Jesus took place on April 5th, AD 33 and 40 Bible days after April 5th, AD 33 would be ASCENSION DAY and would have been on sundown, May 13th AD 33 to sundown, May 14th, AD 33!! And so 2 minutes after midnight on May 14th, AD 1948 is on ASCENSION DAY and 70 YEARS later at 2 minutes after midnight on MAY 14TH, 2018 would also take place on ASCENSION DAY!! Acts 1:1-3; 6-11: I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach until the DAY He was taken up to heaven... After His suffering {On April 3-5 AD 33}, He showed Himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a period of FORTY DAYS until ASCENSION DAY which was from sundown, May 13th to sundown, May 14th AD 33} and spoke about the kingdom of God...So when they met together, they asked Him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" Jesus said to them, "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority {Which took place 2 minues after midnight on May 14th, 1948}... After He said this, He was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid Him from their sight . They were looking intently up into the sky as He was going, when suddenly TWO MEN {Moses & Elijah} dressed in white stood beside them. "Men of Galilee," they said, "Why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven!!" {On the Last Day of the 70 YEARS times 7; when he will bring in EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS!!} Numbers 28:16: �On the 14th day of the 1st month the Lord�s Passover is to be held.� Exodus 12:6,7,12,13: �Take care of them {The Passover Lambs} until the 14th day of the month when all the people of Israel must slaughter them {See Lev 23:5} at Twilight {Just after sundown to nightfall}. Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the doorframes of their houses. On that same night I will strike down the firstborn of the Egyptians� but when I see the blood I will PASS OVER you.� Deut 16:1: �Observe the month of ABIB and celebrate the PASS OVER of the Lord your God, because in the month of ABIB He brought you out of Egypt by night.� Lev 23:6: �On the 15th day of that month the Lord's 7-day Feast of Unleavened Bread begins.� Luke 22:7,8: Then came the day on which the Passover Lamb �Had� to be sacrificed. Jesus said, �Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.� Christ became our Passover Lamb on Passover Day! 1 Cor 5:7: �For Christ our PASSOVER LAMB has been sacrificed.� Whereas the Jews {who were following the evil Babylonian moon calendar} held their Passover on the 15th of Nisan {Which always occurs on the night of a full moon} and observed the Passover on the WRONG DAY as per John 18:28: �Then the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman Governor {Pilate}. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness the Jews did not enter the palace; for they wanted to be able to eat the PASSOVER!!� Which would have been the day �AFTER� Jesus correctly held the Passover on the 14th of ABIB which God had commanded. So we can assume that the month of ABIB is different from the Babylonian moon month of Nisan and therefore has nothing to do with the moon. When does the first month of the Bible Year called ABIB begin?? Many Bible scholars believe that it may begin of the first day of SPRING or sundown March 20th to sundown March 21st. ABIB is the Hebrew word for SPRING. And so the 14th Day of ABIB can also be translated the 14th day of SPRING!! And so Jesus became our Passover Lamb on Passover day which is always the 14th day of the month of Abib and is always from sundown, April 2nd to sundown, April 3rd And the Resurrection Day of Jesus is always on the 16th of Abib which is always from sundown, April 4th to sundown April 5th each and every year. And ASCENSION DAY is always 40 days after Resurrection Day which is from sundown May 13th to sundown May 14th each and every year. And so ASCENSION DAY is 56 days Or 7 X 7 + 7 DAYS of the Bible Year. And so midnight May 14th, 1948 is 56th or 7 X 7 + 7 DAYS of the Bible Year and the 70TH Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel at midnight, May 14th, 2018 is also 7 X 7 + 7 DAYS after the first day of the Bible year. 1260 days after the 70TH Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel on MAY 14TH, 2018 would be on OCTOBER 25TH, 2021 and the LAST DAY would be OCTOBER 24TH 2021 to OCTOBER 25TH, 2021. OCTOBER 24TH, is exactly 217 days after the first day of the Bible year on March 21st. And so OCTOBER 24TH, 2021 is exactly 7 30-day Bible months plus 7 days after the first day of the Bible year when the 7th angel may sound the 7th and last trumpet at the second Coming of Jesus who will open the 7 SEALS of the End-Times and who will bring the 7th DAY REST for the people of God. {Read Revelation 5:9 and Hebrews 4:9} *Jesus has {7} horns and {7} eyes which are the {7} spirits of God sent out into all the earth.{See Rev 5:6} and {7} mighty angels who stand before the throne of God. INTERESTING SPECULATIVE QUESTION?? Will something interesting happen related to the 70 YEARS* times 7 Prophecy; take place exactly 70 YEARS after the rebirth of Israel at 2 minues after midnight on MAY 14TH, 2018?? Such as the beginning of the Last half of the 70 YEARS times 7.{The 1260-day Great Tribulation} or the coming of God's two Israeli witnesses {Moses and Elijah} for their 1260-day testimony; or the signs that will take place shortly before the Great Tribulation??? This, of course, is just a very interesting SPECULATION! If for example the 1260-day Great Tribulation begins on the 70TH Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel at 2 minutes after midnight onMAY 14TH, 2018 which is 7 X 7 +7 days of the Bible year; then it would end 1260 days later on 2 minutes after midnight on OCTOBER 25TH, 2021 and the LAST DAY would be from 2 minutes after midnight on October 24th 2021 to 2 minutes ater midnight on October 25th 2021; and sundown October 24th 2021 is exactly 7 months and 7 days of the Bible year.when the 7 angel may sound the 7th and Last Trumpet. Sundown, October 24th is exactly 217 days after sundown, March 21st and 217 days are 7 30-day Bible months plus 7 days and may be the Last Day of the 70 7's Prophecy which will bring in EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS! As we have shown The 70TH Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel is on May 14th, 2018 which is also ASCENSION DAY and the 56th day which is also 7 X 7 + 7 days of the Bible year!! Immediately after the Resurrection Day of the saints; mentioned in I Thessalonians 4:16,17; we read in I Thessalonians 5:4,5: But YOU, BROTHERS, are not in darkness so that THIS DAY should surprise you like a thief. You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness!! Revelation 3:3: Jesus says, "Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But *IF* you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you!!" When the 1260-day Great Tribulation begins or the 1260-day testimony of Moses and Elijah begins 1263 1/2 days before the Last Day; the saints will then know the exact Last Day when Jesus will come with EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS which will begin on the Last Day of the 70 YEARS times 7 !! Question? Why did Jesus reduce the Great Tribulation or last half of the Last 7 years in Daniel 9:27 from 3 1/2 years or 1278 days to 1260-days or 42 30-day months? Matthew 24:21-22: Jesus says, "For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now {See Daniel 12:1,2}--and never to be equaled again. If those {1278} days had not been CUT SHORT, no one would survive, bur for the sake of the elect those {1278 } days will be shortened!" {to 1260 days} And so the 1278-day Great Tribulation and reign of 666 will be shortened by 18 or 6+6+6 days. By comparing Revelation 12:6 with Revelation 12:14 we know that 1260 days and time {360 days} times {720 days} and 1/2 a time {180 days} is the exact same period of time. And by comparing Revelation 13:5 with Daniel 7:25 we know that 42 30-day months and time {12 months} times {24 months} and 1/2 a time {6 months} is the exact same period of time! And therefore 1260 days and 42 30-day months is the exact same period of time! WHAT SIGNS WILL TAKE PLACE SHORTLY BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE 1260-DAY GREAT TRIBULATION?? ARE SOME OF THESE SIGNS OF THE END-TIMES TAKING PLACE RIGHT NOW!!?? Matthew 24:3-6,9: The disciples asked Jesus, "What will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age??" Jesus answered, "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, claiming: 'I am the Christ;' and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen but the end is still to come." {Luke 21:11 adds: Jesus says, "There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven!"} "Then {During the 1260-day Tribulation} you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by ALL NATIONS because of Me!" 2 Timothy 3:1-5: But mark this: There will be terrible times IN THE LAST DAYS People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God--having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. I Timothy 4:1-2: The Spirit say that IN LATER TIMES some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. Daniel 12:4: Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END! MANY WILL GO HERE AND THERE to INCREASE KNOWLEDGE!! The INCREASE IN KNOWLEDGE and inventions in the last 110 years through Worldwide RADIO, MOVIES, TELEPHONE, TELEVISION and the INTERNET has been unbelievable compared to all the knowledge and inventions before that time!! MANY PEOPLE GOING HERE AND THERE and everywhere has fantastically increased in the past 115 years with amazing AUTOMOBILES, MOTORCYCLES, BUSSES, TRAINS and AEROPLANES!! Matthew 24:15: Jesus says, This Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the WHOLE WORLD as a testimony to ALL NATIONS and THEN THE END WILL COME!" The preaching of the Gospel throughout the WHOLE WORLD to even remote islands in the Pacific has just recently been COMPLETED!! WHAT PROPHECIES CONCERNING THE JEWS, ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM HAVE BEEN FULFILLED, ARE BEING FULFILLED OR WILL BE FULFILLED?? WHEN WAS THE KINGDOM RESTORED TO ISRAEL?? It is interesting to note that the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in the Olivet prophecies is only discussed by Jesus in Luke 21:20-24. All the other prophecies are related to the Great Tribulation, the Second Coming of Jesus and the Judgment in Matthew 25. Luke 21:5-7,20,:23,24: Some of the disciples were remarking about how the Temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, "As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another, every one will be thrown down." "Teacher," they asked, "When will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?".... Jesus answered, "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near... There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." {Here Jesus confirms that there will come a time when the Jews will again rule Jerusalem when the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled} Matthew 21:42: Jesus said to the Jews, "the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit!" Daniel 9:25-27: From the issuing of the decree {By King Cyrus on October 5th, 455 BC} to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the Ruler comes there will be 7 7's {49 years} and 62 7's [434 years} {For a total of 483 years on October 5th, AD 29} Jerusalem will be rebuilt but in times of trouble {49 years after Cyrus's decree or 406 BC} After the 62 7's (3 1/2 years After His coming on April 3-5, AD 33}, the Anointed One will be cut off. The {Roman} people of the ruler who will come will destroy Jerusalem and the Sanctuary {in AD 70}. He {The Anointed One} will confirm a Covenant with many for one 7. In the middle of the 7 {3 1/2 years after His Anointing} He will put an end to SACRIFICE and offering {For sin} He will set up an Abomination that causes desolation {666}.{For 42 months} until the decreed end is poured out on him {See Rev 19:20 and 2 Thess 2:8} {The Anointed One gave us a New Covenant for 3 1/2 years after His first Coming and then prophesied of a 42 month Great Tribulation immediately before His 2nd Coming in the Olivet prophesies and in the Revelation of Jesus Christ} {The last 3 1/2 years or 1278 days was shortened to 1260 days or 42 {30-day} months as per Matthew 24:21,22} Daniel 9:24: 70 7's {490 years} are decreed to to ANOINT THE MOST HOLY {After 69 7's or 483 years}, to ATONE FOR WICKEDNESS {After 69 1/2 7's or 486 1/2 years} and to bring in EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS {After 70 7's on the Last Day at the Second Coming of Jesus}! Acts 1:6,7: The disciples asked Jesus, "Lord, are you at this time going to RESTORE THE KINGDOM TO ISRAEL?" Jesus answered, It is not for you to know the times and dates the Father has set by His own authority!" {The kingdom was restored to Israel at midnight on May 14th, 1948!} *WHEN WILL ISRAEL {THE FIG TREE} AGAIN BEAR FRUIT?? THEY WILL SAY, "THE LORD IS OUR GOD!" Zechariah 13:8,9: In the whole land," declares the Lord, "Two thirds will be struck down and perish, yet one-third will be left in it. This third I will bring into the fire, I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name and I will answer them. I will say, "They are My people", and they will say, "The Lord is our God!" Romans 11 :25,26: I do no want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers , so that you will not be conceited. Israel {THE FIG TREE} has experienced a hardening in part UNTIL THE FULL NUMBER OF GENTILES COME IN.. And so all Israel will be saved!! {The one third who are left during the Great Tribulation} WHEN WILL THE FULL NUMBER OF GENTILES COME IN?? This will take place during the 1260-day Great Tribulation as per Revelation 7:9,13-15: There before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from EVERY NATION, TRIBE, PEOPLE AND LANGUAGE, standing before the throne in front of the LAMB. They were wearing white robes. ... Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they, and where did they come from?" I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have COME OUT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION, they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the LAMB. Therefore, they are before the throne of God." And just before this event when the full number of Gentiles are saved; 144,000 JEWS WILL BE SAVED. 12,000 EACH FROM THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL.as per Revelation 7:5-8. These 144,000 Jews with the help of 2 Jewish witnesses {Moses and Elijah} will help in converting these 2,220,000 Jews. Jeremiah 8:13: "I will take away their {Israel's} harvest", declares the Lord, "There will be no more FIGS* on the tree. and their LEAVES will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them." Matthew 21:18,19: Jesus was hungry. Seeing a FIG TREE by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then He said, " May you never bear fruit again." Joel 1:11,12: The harvest of the field is destroyed. The vine is dried up and the FIG TREE is withered. Hosea 9:10: The Lord said, "When I found Israel..it was like seeing the early fruit on the FIG TREE!" Revelation 6:13 And the stars of the sky {See Matthew 24:29-31} fell to earth as late FIGS drop from a FIG TREEwhen shaken by a strong wind! JESUS SAYS, "THIS GENERATION WILL CERTAINLY NOT PASS AWAY UNTIL ALL THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED Matthew 24:32-34: Jesus says, "Now learn this lesson from the FIG TREE{ISRAEL}. As soon as its twigs get tender and its LEAVES COME OUT {Starting at May 14th,1948}, you know that summer {The Great Tribulation} is near {When the FIG TREE ISRAEL WILL BEAR FRUIT!}. Even so, when you see these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, THIS GENERATION will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened!" {This FUTURE GENERATION would include all of the Olivet prophecies concerning the Great Tribulation and the 2nd Coming of Jesus} Psalm 90:10: Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout ALL GENERATIONS...The length of our days is 70 YEARS--or EIGHTY, if we have the strength! THE GENERATION OF THE NEW BIRTH OF ISRAEL BEGAN ON MAY 14TH, 1948 AND THE 70TH GENERATION ANNIVERSARY WILL BE ON MAY 14TH, 2018!! ISAIAH 11:12: HE WILL RAISE A BANNER FOR THE NATIONS AND GATHER THE EXILES OF ISRAEL. HE WILL ASSEMBLE THE SCATTERED PEOPLE OF JUDAH FROM THE FOUR QUARTERS OF THE EARTH There are many prophecies concerning the Jews in the end times, many of which began to be fulfilled in the 20th Century. One of which is their WORLDWIDE GATHERING {Isaiah 11:12}. In 1900 there were only 40,000 Jews in Palestine. By the end of World War II that number had risen to 800,000. As of May, 2016, there were 6,450,000 Jews in Israel who have come from all over the world or the FOUR QUARTERS OF THE EARTH!. According to www.Jewishvirtuallibrary.org there is a population growth rate of 1.7 % a year of Jews in Israel which would be 3.4% in 2 years. If you multiply 3.4 % times 6,450,000 you would have about 216,000 more Jews in Israel by May of 2018. 6,450,000 plus 216,000 equals 6,660,000* Jews in Israel by MAY 14 2018! One third of the Jews in the land will be saved during the Great Tribulation And so about 2,220,000 Jews will be saved. It is estimated that only about 4,000 Jews in Israel are saved at the present time. The prophecies concerning the Jews before the 1260- Day Great Tribulation are the LEAVES of the FIG TREE which is Israel, But the FIG TREE will not bear FRUIT until one third of the Jews are saved during the Great are saved during the Great Tribulation which may begin on the 70TH ANNIVERSARY of the rebirth of Israel! Jeremiah 29:10-13: This is what the Lord says, "When 70 YEARS are completed I will come to you and fulfill My precious promise. For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray too Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me, and find me when you seek Me with all yourt hear. I will be found by you," declares the Lord!" ANOTHER INTERESTING PROPHECY is the Jewish re-occupation of all of JERUSALEM which occurred on June 7, 1967 during the miraculous Six Day War. Midnight, MAY 14TH, 2018 is 49{7X7} YEARS plus 707 DAYS after June 7th, 1967!! Zechariah 8:4,5,7: This is what the Lord almighty says, "Once again men and women of ripe old age will sit in the streets of JERUSALEM, each with cane in hand because of his age. The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing there!... I will save My people from the countries of the east and the west. I will bring them back to live in JERUSALEM!" ANOTHER INTERESTING PROPECY is the one whose fulfillment we are witnessing today � the re-focusing of world politics upon the nation of Israel. All the nations of the world are coming against Israel over the issue of the control of the nation�s capital � the city of JERUSALEM{Zechariah 12:1-3}. The Vatican wants the city put under its control. The United Nations wants it to be internationalized. The European Union is demanding it be divided between the Arabs and the Jews. The Arabs want all of it. Donald Trump promises that he will make JERUSALEM the capital of Israel and all the Muslim nations are threatening war if this takes place, and this war could escalate into a WORLD WAR AND WORLD CHAOS!! Zechariah 12:1-3 The Lord declares, "I AM GOING TO MAKE JERUSALEM A CUP THAT SENDS ALL THE SURROUNDING NATIONS REELING. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem, on that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her!!" Donald Trump has promised that the Jews could have their CAPITAL* in JERUSALEM and all the Muslim countries have promised that they would go to WAR* with Israel if this takes place and this war could escalate into a WORLD WAR AND WORLD CHAOS!! ANOTHER INTERESTING PROPHECY is found in Jeremiah 29:18: This is what the Lord Almighty says {About Jews} "I WILL MAKE THEM ABHORRENT TO ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE EARTH AND AN OBJECT OF CURSING AND TERROR, OF SCORN AND REPROACH AMONG THE NATIONS!" On December 23, 2016, the UNITED NATIONS of the world severely condemned Israel for its settlements! December 23rd, 2016 is exactly 507 days before the 70TH YEAR Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel on MAY 14TH, 2018. 72 weeks or 72X7 would take up 504 days leaving 3 days or 72 hours. And so the time period from December 23rd, 2016 to MAY 14TH, 2018 and the possible coming of 666 would be exactly 66+6 weeks plus 66+6 hours. On December 23rd, 2016 Barak Hussein Obama abandoned America's commitment to Israel's security and the end of their democracy against Muslim aggression. In an act of cowardly venom Obama had the United States abstain from a United Nations resolution--and thereby effectively enact a United Nations resolution that completely condemns Israel and their settlements. A resolution that undertakes to render Israel indefensible. This very ridiculous unfair resolution greatly increases the tension and chaos in the Middle East and gives the Muslim countries an excuse to increase their hostility toward Israel. On January 24th, 2017 Israel announced that it was going to build 2,500 New Settlements on Palestinian territory which absolutely contradicts the UN resolution and would further escalate the tensions in the Middle East; and gives the Muslim countries yet another excuse to increase their hostility toward Israel. According to the United Nations human rights body, Israel is the worst human rights violater in the world today. That is the result of the latest session of the Human Rights Council which wrapped up in Geneva on March 24th, 2017 by adopting 5 times more resolutions condemning Israel than any other country on earth!! In its history the Council has condemned Israel more than any other of the 192 UN states. Comparative totals after the UN sessions program tell the story: :Israel--78 resolutions and decisions Syria--29 North Korea--9 ISIS--8 and Iran--6. As for Russia and China there is nothing at all. Think of it this way: 500,000 dead in Syria, forced starvation and mass torture in North Korea. Systematic, lethal oppression, amazing atrocities, and sponsored terrorism in Iran and ISIS, and an elementary lack of basic freedoms and oppression affecting over a billion people in Russia and China. But according to the UN Human Rights Council, the little democracy Israel is by far the main evil problem in the world??? GOD INSPIRED 32 JEWS TO WRITE EVERY WORD IN THE OT WORD OF GOD AND GOD INSPIRED 8 JEWS TO WRITE EVERY WORD IN THE NT WORD OF GOD!! OUR ETERNAL HOME IS CALLED THE NEW JERUSALEM AND ON ITS 12 GATES WILL BE THE NAMES OF THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL AND ON ITS 12 FOUNDATIONS WILL BE THE NAMES OF THE 12 JEWISH APOSTLES {PAUL instead of Judas} {See Revelation 21:2 and Revelation 21:12 and Revelation 21:14} Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is called the SON OF DAVID 17 times in the NT and in Revelation Jesus is called THE ROOT AND OFFSPRING OF DAVID and THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH {See Revelation 22::16 and Revelation 5:5!} In John 4:22 Jesus declares "SALVATION IS FROM THE JEWS" COULD DONALD TRUMP BE PRESIDENT WHEN THE GREAT TRIBULATION BEGINS?? As you know 70 7's and 666 are very prominent numbers in Bible prophecy. Someone just pointed out to me that Donald Trump was born on June 14th, 1946 at 10:54 AM which I checked out. Donald Trump became the most powerful world leader when he was inaugurated at Noon on January 20th, 2017. And so Donald Trump was exactly 70 YEARS plus 7 MONTHS plus 6 days plus 66 minutes old when he becomes the most powerful leader in the world! Donald Trump became the most powerful leader in the world at noon, on January 20th, 2017; and the 70TH YEAR anniversary of the rebirth of Israel will be at 2 minutes after midnight on MAY 14TH, 2018. Noon, January 20th, 2017 until Noon, May 14th, 2018 is exactly 479 days and noon, May 14th, 2018 would begin the 480th day. 66 weeks or 66X7 equals 462 days; which leaves another 18 or 6+6+6 days!!! And so Donald Trump became the most powerful leader in the world exactly 66 weeks plus 6+6+6 days before the speculative coming off 666 who will then become the most powerful leader in the world. Trump is certainly not a saint. About 80 % of the Evangelicals voted for him because they were afraid that Hillary would select the next 2 or 3 Chief Justices who would be very tough on Evangelicals who preached against gay marriage etc. and possibly remove their tax free status. However, Trump is just as evil as Hillary or Obama. Trump's favorite pastor was the famous liberal, Norman Vincent Peale who made fun of people who believe in the inspiration of God's Word or the Divinity of Jesus or eternal hell etc, He also taught that it is moral to have a huge ego and you don't have to repent of your sins. Trump has repeatedly said that he has never repented of anything he did. Trump owned a gambling casino which really steal people's money with tremendous odds. His casino also had very lewd shows with topless women doing very sinful gyrations. Norman Vincent Peale was Trump's Pastor for 25 years and married Trump and his 2 sisters, Mr Peale's famous book The Power of Positive Thinking is the most liberal Christian book ever written. In his book Mr. Peale refuses to allow his followers to hear, speak or see any evil. For him real human suffering does not exist; there is no such thing as murderous rage, suicidal despair, cruelty, lust, greed, mass poverty, or illiteracy. All these things he would dismiss as trivial mental processes which will evaporate if thoughts are simply turned into more cheerful channels. Trump has had 3 wives. In the last year of his first wife he had a very open adulterous relationship with Marla Maples, his future 2nd wife, and he then made the cover of Playboy magazine. He then married his 3rd and last wife who is 25 years younger. Trump became famous for bragging to a TV reporter that he could grab women's crotches and get away with it because he is so rich, handsome and famous. About 6 months ago 10 women claimed that they were sexually harassed or fondled by Trump. When someone objects to his vulgar language or ideas he is very good at viciously attacking them and he never turns the other cheek as Jesus has commanded. Trump is very rich and loves and worships the ALMIGHTY DOLLAR! Trump's favorite preacher for the past 15 years has been Paula White and she is now in the INNER CIRCLE of Trump's advisers. Paula White promotes pornography for married people and declares that divorce is a GIFT FROM GOD. Paula White has made a fortune taking money from gullible people with her Prosperity Gospel. Paula White has also had an adulterous affair with Benny Hinn who is the king of those preaching the evil Prosperity Gospel. I Timothy 6:9,10: People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and many foolish desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil!. Trump and Putin and China are now by far the THREE* most Powerful and Evil leaders in the world and have about 90 % of the world's nuclear bombs and would most likely embrace the coming of the evil 666! THE AMAZING PROPHECY OF ST MALACHY IN AD 1139 THAT THERE WILL BE 112 POPES AFTER AD 1139 AND THAT DURING THE REIGN OF THE 112TH POPE THE END OF THE WORLD WILL COME. POPE FRANCIS IS THE 112TH POPE!! St. Malachy was the Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland and a very good archbishop who always helped the poor. He claimed he experienced a vision while visiting Rome in 1139 AD. He said he saw every pope that would exist from the time of his vision until the last pope. The last pope would be the 112th from the time of his vision. Malachy also stated that the last pope would be a very evil pope and that God would judge everyone and the city of Rome would be destroyed during the reign of this last pope. When John Paul II died on April 2, 2005, articles were written pointing out that the pope who would replace John Paul II would be the 111th pope. Benedict XVI was 78 years of age when he began his papacy on April 19th, 2005. Because of his advanced age, it was obvious that his reign as the Bishop of Rome could not last too long. Everyone understood the next pope, according to St. Malachy, would be the last pope. Malachy also said the church would be judged, Rome would be destroyed, and implied that the end of the world would come during this final papacy. The question on everyone�s mind was: How long till the 112th pope? On February 11, 2013, Pope Benedict shocked the world by announcing his intention to resign from the papacy. This was the first resignation of a pope while in office in over 600 years. Benedict said that, at the age of 85, he no longer had the strength to execute the duties of leading the Roman Catholic Church. It was time to elect the 112th pope foretold in the vision of St. Malachy! Overlooking St. Peter�s Square, the announcement was made that Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina had been elected the 112th pope in the prophecy on March 13th, 2013!! He was 76 years of age when elected pope and chose to take the name Pope Francis for his papal name. Francis is the first non-European pope and the first pope ever elected from the very Satanic Jesuit order. The Satanic Pope Francis is the leader of about 1,000,000,000 {One Billion} Roman Catholics and it is quite obvious that he is very evil and Satanic and possibly would qualify to be the future False Prophet of 666!! DOES POPE FRANCIS QUALIFY TO BE THE FUTURE FALSE PROPHET OF 666 WHO WILL COME UP FROM THE ABYSS OR HELL?? IS THE FUTURE FALSE PROPHET OF 666 ALREADY HERE!!?? WILL 666 COME UP FROM THE ABYSS OR HELL?? Revelation 11:7: The Beast {666} that comes UP FROM THE ABYSS will attack them, and overpower and kill them. Revelation 17:8: The Beast {666}, which you saw, once was {Alive}, now is not (Alive in AD 96}, and yet will COME UP OUT OF THE ABYSS and go to his destruction. {as per Rev 19:20 & 2 Thess 2:8} {That the Abyss is Hell is shown in Luke 8:30-31} There are many who believe that the 6th Caesar who killed Paul and Peter in AD 66 and whose name adds up to exactly 666 in Hebrew, and is now in the Abyss or hell, will come up from the Abyss and become the Beast {666}who rule the world during the 1260-day Great Tribulation. Jesus is called a LAMB 30 times in the book of Revelation and in Revelation 13:11states the False Prophet of 666 will be LIKE A LAMB which implies that he may be a very deceptive religious leader. Revelation 17:9 shows that the future headquarters of 666 and his False Prophet will be the evil city on 7 hills or Rome {See Rev 17:9}; which is also the present headquarters of Pope Francis and the former headquarters of 666 who will come up from the Abyss!! {See Daniel 7:23-25} A Roman Catholic Priest Says Homosexuality Is Gift From God, And That The Bible Is Not The Word Of God, And Then Pope Francis Kisses His Hand And Praises Him?? A 93 year old Italian priest named Michele de Paolis, considered to be Italy�s most rebellious priest and amongst the most universally notorious advocates for the Catholic Church to change its position on homosexuality, said:, "Homosexual love is a gift from (God) no less than heterosexual. This same damned heretic said, "The Bible �is� not the word of God And now, just a few days ago, Francis, whether by his own will or through some malicious advisors, celebrated mass with this evil man and then kissed his hand???? VATICAN CITY (RNS) Pope Francis on Monday (Oct. 27) waded into the controversial debate over the origins of human life, saying the big bang theory and evolution did not contradict the role of a divine creator, but even required it. The pope was addressing the plenary assembly of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which gathered at the Vatican to discuss �Evolving Concepts of Nature.� Pope Francis said, �When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so,� Francis said. �He created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfillment.� �God is not a divine being or a magician, but the Creator who brought everything to life,� the pope said. �Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.� Giovanni Bignami, a professor and president of Italy�s National Institute for Astrophysics, welcomed Francis� comments, saying he had buried the �pseudo theories� of creationists. The pope�s statement is significant,� Bignami told Italian news agency Adnkronos. �We are the direct descendants from the Big Bang that created the universe. Evolution came from creation.� Pope Francis: says, The Church could support civil unions??? By Daniel Burke, CNN Belief Blog Co-Editor (CNN) - Pope Francis suggested in a newspaper interview that it could support some types of civil unions. The Pope reiterated the church's longstanding teaching that "marriage is between a man and a woman." However, he said, "We have to look at different cases and evaluate them in their variety." States, for instance, justify civil unions as a way to provide economic security to cohabitating couples, the Pope said in a wide-ranging interview published Wednesday in Corriere della Sera, an Italian daily. State-sanctioned unions are thus driven by the need to ensure rights like access to health care, Francis added. A number of Catholic bishops have supported civil unions for same-sex couples, including Pope Francis when he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 2010, according to reports in National Catholic Reporter and The New York Times. Behind closed doors, Pope Francis supported civil unions in Argentina, activist says. But Wednesday's comments are "the first time a Pope has indicated even tentative acceptance of civil unions," according to Catholic News Service. Francis delivers homilies each day, the contents of which are summarized by Vatican Radio. On May 22, 2015 he caused no shortage of confusion when he suggested that even atheists could find salvation. Obama has said the exact same thing!!! In his homily, Francis said: "The Lord has redeemed all of us, with the Blood of Christ:, not just Catholics. Everyone! Even the atheists. Everyone!" However Jesus says, "No one can come to the Father except through Me." John 1:12,13: To all who received Him {Jesus}, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God--children born not of human descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God! Pope Francis also says "Who am I to judge homosexuals." and Pope Francis states that sincere homosexuals will also enter the kingdom of heaven just like Obama. But what does God's Word say?? I Corinthians 6:9-11: Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor HOMOSEXUAL OFFENDERS will inherit the kingdom of God. {Unless they repent} And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. Responding to a list of questions published in the paper by Mr Scalfari, who is not a Roman Catholic, Francis wrote: �You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don�t believe and who don�t seek the faith. I start by saying � and this is the fundamental thing � that God�s mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience. �Sin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience"???? Pope Francis expressed praise on September 25th, 2015 for Obama's ridiculous nuclear deal struck with very evil Iran during a speech at the United Nations' General Assembly in New York. "The recent agreement reached on the nuclear question in a sensitive region of Asia and the Middle East is proof of the potential of political good will and of law, exercised with sincerity, patience and constancy." Pope Francis totally agrees with Obama and believes that all who do not believe in Global Warming are sinning and everyone who does not do something to reduce global warming is sinning. Pope Francis is an extreme socialist who believes that all capitalism is extremely evil!! The Pope also loves socialism just like Obama and believes that anyone who does not believe in socialism is sinning! For the First Time in History a Pope has declared that people of all beliefs other than Christianity such as Muslims and even atheists shall go to heaven if they are sincere and lead a good life. For the First Time in History in History a Pope refuses to judge or condemn homosexuals or those who participate in Gay Marriage!! For the First Time in History a Pope has declared that everyone who does not believe in Global Warming is Sinning and all who do not do something to reduce Global Warming is Sinning!! For the First Time in History a Pope has declared that ALL capitalism is evil and all who do not believe in socialism are Sinning!! For the first time in History the Roman Catholic Church has elected a *JESUIT POPE!! One of the main enforcers of the Roman Catholic Inquisitions were the Jesuits. All Jesuits take the same Satanic oath today. Pope Francis has taken and administered this same Satanic Jesuit oath which includes the following amazing statements:"I promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, make and wage war , secretly and openly, against all heretics and protestants as I am directed to do, to extirpate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex nor condition, and that I will hang, burn, waste, boil, flay, strangle, and bury alive those infamous heretics; rip open their stomachs and wombs of their women, and crush their infants heads against the walls in order to annihilate their execrable race. And so it is interesting to note that the 112th and last pope {??} who is the leader of about 1,000,000,000 {One Billion} Roman Catholics agrees with Satan on everything!! Matthew 23:9: "Jesus says, "Do not call ANYONE on earth 'father,' for you have ONE FATHER, and He is in HEAVEN!!" This is an obvious reference to a SPIRITUAL FATHER since earthly fathers of earthly children are mentioned hundreds of times in God's Word. And so according to Jesus: calling the leader of the Satanic Roman Catholic Church 'Holy Father' is a terrible sin. Pope Francis {Who Satanists call HOLY FATHER} has made a Papal Decree stating that he alone has given power to Roman Catholic priests {Who Satanists call FATHERS} to forgive ALL ABORTIONS* which would include Gruesome and Horrific Abortions an hour before conception!! Is this MURDER?? As usual, the Satanic Pope Francis is absolutely contradicting God's Sacred Word!!: Psalm 22:10: David said, "From my mother's WOMB you have been My God!" Psalm 139:13: David said, "For you created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's WOMB!" Isaiah 44:2: This is what the Lord says--He who made you, who formed you in the WOMB! Isaiah 44:24: This is what the Lord says--your Redeemer, who formed you in the WOMB! Jeremiah 1:5: The Lord said, "Before I formed you in the WOMB I knew you!" And so we can safely conclude that Pope Francis completely qualifies to be the future deceptive False Prophet of 666 from the evil city on 7 hills!! Pope Francis was born at 9 PM on December 17th, 1936 in Buenos Aries Argentina which is 5 hours less than Jerusalem Bible time which would be 2 AM, December 18th, 1936. What is the interesting time period between 2 AM , December 18th, 1936 to 2 AM, OCTOBER 25TH, 2021?? The time period from December 18th, 1936 to December 18th, 2020 is exactly 84 years or 77 + 7 years. And the time period between December 18th 2020 and OCTOBER 25TH, 2021 is exactly 315 days. *7 30-day Bible months would be 210 days leaving 105 days. 14 or 7 + 7 weeks would take 98 days leaving 7 days! And so the total time period from the birth of Pope Francis at 2 AM, December 18th,1936, Jerusalem time; to 2 AM, October 25th, 2021 would be 77 + 7 years plus 7 months Plus7+7 weeks plus 7 days before the Last Day on OCTOBER 25TH, 2021 at the possible 2nd Coming of Jesus, who holds the 7 spirits of God and the 7 angels, when the 7 angel will sound the 7th and last trumpet!! BIBLE CHRONOLOGY BEGINNING WITH THE CREATION OF ADAM UNTIL NOW These chronologies are recorded in Genesis 5:2-32 and Genesis 11:10-26: Adam became the father of Seth at age .............. 130 Seth became the father of Enosh at age ...............105 Enosh became the father of Kenan at age ............. 90 Kenan became the father of Mahalel at age..............70 Mahalel became the father of Jared at age..............65 Jared became the father of Enoch at age ..............162 Enoch became the father of Methusaleh at age ......... 65 Methusaleh became the father Lamech at age.......... 187 Lamech became the father of Noah at age ..............182 Noah became the father of Shem at age ................500 Shem became the father of Arphaxed at age ............100 Arphaxad became the father of Shelah at age .......... 35 Shelah bacame the father of Eber at age ...............30 Eber became the father of Peleg at age ................34 Peleg became the father of Reu at age .................30 Reu became the father of Serug at age .................32 Serug became the father of Nahor at age ...............30 Nahor became the father of Terah at age ...............29 Terah became the father of Abram{Abraham}at age...70 for a total of 1946 years after Adam was created. Abraham entered the land of Canaan at age 75 which was 2021 years after Adam was created. Exodus 12:40: Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt and Canaan{See NIV footnote}was 430 years. At the end of 430 years, TO THE VERY DAY the Lord's divisions left Egypt. So Israel left Egypt 430 years after Abraham entered Canaan which was 2021 years after Adam was created and so Israel left Egypt 2021 + 430 or 2451 years after Adam was created. CHRONOLOGY OF THE 22 KINGS Saul king of all Israel for 42 years {I Samuel 13:1} David king of all Israel for 40 years {I Kings 2:11} Solomon king of all Israel for 40 years {I Kings 11:42} Solomon started to build God's Temple 3 years and 32 days after he began to reign. After the death of King Solomon; the Kingdom of Israel was divided into Northern Israel with the Kings of Israel and southern Israel with 19 kings of Judah with headquarters in Jerusalem. The Kingdom of northern Israel was exiled by the King of Assyria during the reign of Ahaz, king of Judah. {Read 2 Kings 17:1-41} 19 KINGS OF JUDAH Rehoboam king for 17 years {I Kings 14:21} Abijah king for 5 years {I Kings 15:1,2} Asa king for 41 years {I Kings 15:9,10} Jehoshaphat king for 25 years {2 Chron 20:31} Jehoram king for 8 years {2 Chron 21:5} Ahaziah king for 1 year {2 Chron 22:2} Joash hidden in Temple for 6 years as the King of Israel Athaliah ruled for 6 years {2 Chron 22:12} Joash then became king for 40 years {2 Chron 24:19} Amaziah king for 29 years {2 Chron 25:1} Uzziah {Also called Azariah} king for 52 years {2 Chron 26:2} Jotham king for 16 years {2 Chron 27:1} Ahaz king for 16 years {2 Chron 28:1} Hezekiah king for 29 years {2 Chron 29:1} Manasseh king for 55 years { 2 Chron 33:1} Amon king for 2 years {2 Chron 33:21} Josiah king for 31 years {2 Chron 34:1} Jehoahaz king for 3 months {2 Chron 36:2} Jehoiakim king for 11 years {2 Chron 36:5} Jehoiachin king for 3 months {2 Chron 36:9} Zedekiah king for 11 years {2 Chron 36:11} For a total of 490 years + 6 months + 10 days {Or 190 days}for the 22 kings above before the 70-year exile of Israel to Babylon. {See 2 Chronicles 36:20,21. I Kings 6:1 In the 480th year after the Israelites had come out of Egypt, in the 4th year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, the second month, he began to build the Temple of the Lord. 2 Chronicles 3:2: He {Solomon} began building on the second day of the second month in the 4th year of his reign. And so Solomon began building the Temple after 3 years and 32 days of the 4th year of his reign and 479 years and 32 days of the 480th year after the Israelites left Egypt which was 2451 years after the birth of Adam for a total of 2930 years + 32 days after the birth of Adam. Saul had reigned 42 years and David ruled for 40 years and Solomon reigned 3 years and 32 days for a total of 85 years and 32 days from the first day of Saul's reign until the Temple was started. And since the 22 Judean kings ruled 490 years + 190 days before their 70 year exile to Babylon then there would have been 405 years + 158 days from when Solomon started the Temple until the 70-year exile. 490 years plus 190 days minus 85 years + 32 days equals exactly 405 years plus 158 days. 250 years earlier the Lord made this amazing prophecy in Isaiah 45:13: The Lord said, "I will raise up Cyrus in My righteousness. He will rebuild My city and set my exiles free!!" {Read 2 Chronicles 36:22,23} Daniel 9:24,25: 70 7's {or 490 years} are decreed for your people and your Holy City... Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree {By King Cyrus} to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the Ruler, comes, there will be 7 7's and 62 7's {69 7's or 483 years}!! And so this amazing prophecy confirms that the coming and Anointing of the Anointed Savior would take pace exactly 69 7's or 483 years after the decree of Cyrus which took place on October 5th, AD 29 which was 3 1/2 years or 1278 days before Jesus put an end to all sacrifices for sin in the middle of the last 7 years {See Dan 9:27a} on April 3-5, AD 33. And so the time period from Solomon starting the Temple to the Anointing of Jesus would have been 405 years + 158 days + 70 years + 483 years for a total of 958 years and 158 days. And the time period from the birth of Adam to Solomon starting the Temple would have been 2930 years + 32 days plus 958 years + 158 days for a grand total of 3,888 years plus 190 days. Let us suppose that the 1260-day Great Tribulation will begin on the 70-YEAR Anniversary of Israel on MAY 14TH, 2018 and end 1260 days later at the 2nd Coming of Jesus on OCTOBER 25TH, 2021 The time period from the Anointing of Jesus or the 1st Coming of Jesus on October 5th, AD 29 to the speculative 2nd Coming of Jesus on October 25th, 2021 would be exactly 1992 years plus 20 days. And then the time period from the birth of Adam to the 2nd Coming of Jesus would be 1,992 years + 20 days plus 3,888 years + 190 days for a grand total of 5,880 years plus 210 days. 7 times 840 years is 5,880 years and so 7 times 770 + 70 years is also 5,880 years. And 210 days is also 70+70+70 days. And so the time period from the birth of Adam to the possible 2nd Coming of Jesus would be exactly 7 times 770+70 years plus 70+70+70 days!! The idea that something may happen related to the End-Times on the 70 YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the birth of Israel is, of course, just an interesting SPECULATION! God also made some interesting promises to Israel after their 70-YEAR exile: Jeremiah 29:10-14: This is what the Lord says, "When 70 YEARS are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill My gracious promise to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a FUTURE Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord!! Zechariah 13:8,9: "In the whole land" {After the 70TH Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel??} declares the Lord, "Two- thirds will be struck down and perish, yet one-third will be left in it, This third I will bring into the fire, I will refine them like silver, and test them like gold. They will call on My name and I will answer them; I will say, "They are My people," and they will say, "The Lord is our God." {This will happen during the 1260-day Great Tribulation} According to the latest census there are about 6,500,000 Jews in Israel and there will be about 6,600,000 a year from now. One third of 6,600,000 would be about 2,200,000 Jews will be saved. Christian missionaries estimate that there only about 4,000 Jews in Israel that are truly saved at this time!! Romans 11:25-27: I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited. Israel has experienced a hardening in part, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in {Read Rev 7:9,14} And so all Israel will be saved. {The 1/3 who are left} {With the help of 144,000 Jewish evangelists and God's 2 Jewish witnesses--Moses and Elijah!!} Jesus says, THIS GENERATION will certainly not pass away UNTIL ALL THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED" {Matthew 24:34} Psalm 90:1,10: Lord, You have been our dwelling place throughout ALL GENERATIONS.... The length of our days is 70 YEARS--or eighty if we have the strength! Matthew 24:32-35: Jesus says, "Now learn this lesson from the FIG TREE. As soon as the twigs get tender and its LEAVES COME OUT, you know that summer is NEAR**. Even so, Post Reply

JESUS LOVES HIS FAITHFUL SAINTS JUST AS MUCH AS THE FATHER LOVES HIM!! John 15:9,10" Jesus says, "As the Father LOVED Me, so I have LOVED you!! Now remain in My LOVE . IF you obey My commands, you will remain in My LOVE , just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in His LOVE !" John 14:21,23: Jesus says, "Whoever has My commands and obeys them, he is the one who LOVES Me! He who loves Me will be LOVED by My Father, and I will LOVE him....If anyone LOVES Me, he will obey My teaching. My Father will LOVE him, and we will come to him and make Our home with him!!" I John 3:18: Dear children, let us not LOVE with words or tongue but with actions and in truth! WHAT'S LOVEGOT TO DO WITH IT?? I Peter 1:22: "Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere LOVE for your brothers, LOVE one another DEEPLY, FROM THE HEART. For you have been born again... through the living and enduring Word of God! I Peter 4:8: ABOVE ALL, LOVE each other DEEPLY, because LOVEcovers over a multitude of sins! I Corinthians 13:2,4-8: If I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not LOVE I am nothing...LOVE is patient, LOVE is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. LOVE does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. LOVE never fails!!" John 13:34: Jesus says, "A NEW command I give you: LOVE* one another As I have LOVED you, so you must LOVE one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples." John 15:12,13: Jesus says, "My command is this: LOVE each other as I have LOVED you. Greater LOVE has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. I John 3:16: This is how we know what LOVE is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers! Ephesians 5:1,2: Be IMITATORS OF GOD, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of LOVE, just as Christ LOVED us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God! Luke 6:27,28,35,36: Jesus says, "LOVE your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. LOVE your enemies, do good to them. and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your REWARD will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful!" Matthew 28:19.20� Jesus commands, �Go and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to OBEY EVERYTHING I have commanded you!� {See I John 2:3-5} EVERYTHING would also include all the other commands in God's inspired Word from Acts to Revelation as per 2 Timothy 3:16: 4:2: "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...Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction." If we really LOVE our brothers and sisters in Christ we will lovingly teach them to obey all the approximately 400 commands of the NT with LOVE in the hope of countless eternal rewards when Jesus comes with great power with all His angels. Revelation 22:112: Jesus says,"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done!? Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, For 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." Ephesians 4:15: "Speaking the Truth in LOVE , we will in all things grow up into Him who is the Head, that is, Christ! From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in LOVE , as each part does its work." Ephesians 3:17-19: "I pray that you, being rooted and established in LOVE may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the LOVE of Christ, and to know this LOVE that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God!!" I John 4:7-12: Dear friends, let us LOVE one another, for LOVE comes from God. Everyone who LOVES has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not LOVE does not know God, because God is LOVE. This is how God showed His LOVEamong us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is LOVE, not that we LOVED God, but that He LOVED us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends,since God so LOVED us, we ought to LOVE one another. No one has ever seen God, but if we LOVE one another, God lives in us and His LOVE is made complete in us! Romans 8:35,37-39: Who shall separate us from the LOVE of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?...We are more than conquerors through Him who LOVED us! For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the LOVE of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!! "PRAY CONTINUALLY; GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR THIS IS GOD'S WILL FOR YOU IN CHRIST JESUS!!" {I Thess 5:17,18} Matthew 6:5,6,9-11 Jesus commands, �When you PRAY, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to PRAY standing in the synagogues {churches} and on the street corners to be seen by men...But when you PRAY, go into your room, close the door and PRAY to your FATHER, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret will reward you... This, then, is how you should PRAY: �Our Father in heaven hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.� and Luke 11:4 adds, FORGIVE US OUR SINS, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.� Matthew 6:7,8: Jesus says, "And when you PRAY, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him!" James 5:13-16: Is any one of you IN TROUBLE? He should PRAY!! Is any one of you SICK? He should call the elders {And only the elders!} of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the PRAYER offered in faith will make the sick person well, the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The PRAYER of a righteous man is powerful and effective! Acts 1:14: They all joined together CONSTANTLY IN PRAYER! Ephesians 6:18-19: PRAY in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind be alert and always keep on PRAYINGfor all the saints. PRAY also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the Gospel. I John 1:8,9; 2:1,2: If we {believers} claim to be without sin, WE DECEIVE OURSELVES and the truth is not in us. If we CONFESS OUR SINS, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we {believers} we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar and His word has no place in our lives....If anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the ATONING SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!! Matthew 26:41: Jesus says, "Watch and PRAYso that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing but the body is weak!" Hebrews 4:15,16: For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have One who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may RECEIVE MERCY AND FIND GRACE TO HELP US IN OUR TIME OF NEED!! Hebrews 12:5,6,10,11: Do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you, because the LORD DISCIPLINES THOSE HE LOVES, And He punishes everyone He accepts as a son... God disciplines us for our own good, that we may share in His holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. If we fail to daily ask forgiveness and repent of our sins God will DISCIPLINE US and sometimes it will be very painful. We will also LOSE ETERNAL REWARDS and a CLOSE RELATIONSHIP with God! 2 Corinthians 5:9,10: We make it our goal to please Him... for we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. 1 Corinthians 3:13-15: His work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives , he will receive his REWARD. If it is burned up he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames. 2 John 1:8: Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you be REWARDED FULLY! Colossians 3:23-25: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a REWARD. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism. Luke 18:1: Then Jesus told His disciples a parable to show them that they should ALWAYS PRAY AND NEVER GIVE UP! Jeremiah 33:3; The Lord says, "Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know!" {This would help God's saints to correctly interpret many of the mysteries in God's Word!} Luke 11:1-4: The disciples asked Jesus, "Teach us to PRAY" Jesus said to His disciples, "When you PRAY, say: 'Father , hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come. Give us each day our DAILY bread. FORGIVE US {disciples}OUR SINS, for we forgive everyone who sins against us'" Here we see that Jesus tells His disciples to daily ask the Father to forgive them of their sins. God's Word states that we must be holy as God is holy as per I Peter 1:15,16; and to walk as Jesus walked as per I John 2:6. And God understands that we really don't understand how much we fall short and sin daily. The closer we get to God the more we realize how much we fall short and sin daily; and realize our need to confess our sins daily to get closer to God. Take Paul, the greatest NT saint, for example: I Timothy 1:15,16: Paul said, "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I AM THE WORST. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, THE WORST OF SINNERS, Christ Jesus might display HIS UNLIMITED PATIENCE as an example for those who would believe on Him and receive eternal life. I Timothy 5:5: The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to PRAY and ASK GOD FOR HELP!! I Thessalonians 5:17,18: PRAYCONTINUALLY; GIVE THANKS IN ALL circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Philemon 1:6: I PRAY that you may be active in sharing your faith. Acts 6:4: We will give our attention to PRAYER and the ministry of the Word! Matthew 5:44: Jesus commands, �Love your enemies and PRAY** for those who persecute you.� Acts 21:5: All the disciples and their wives and children accompanied us out of the city and there on the beach we KNELT to PRAY. Luke 22:41: Jesus KNELT down and PRAYED. Mark 1:35: Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a SOLITARY PLACE, where He PRAYED! Luke 5:16: Jesus often withdrew to LONELY PLACES and PRAYED! Acts 9:40: Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his KNEES and PRAYED. I Thessalonians 3:10: Night and day we PRAY* most earnestly that we may supply what is lacking in your faith. Ephesians 3:16-19: 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. And I PRAY that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know that love which surpasses knowledge�that you may be filled to the measure of the fullness of God! 2 Thessalonians 1:11,12: We CONSTANTLY PRAY FOR YOU, that our God may count you worthy of His calling, and that by His power He may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. We PRAY this that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. John 17:15-17: Jesus prayed, �My PRAYER is not to take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. Sanctify them by the Truth Your Word is Truth!� I Peter 3:12: The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their PRAYER. Colossians 4:12: He is always wrestling in PRAYER for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured. Philippians 4:6: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by PRAYER and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests to God. I John 5:14,15 This is the confidence we have in approaching God; that if we ask anything ACCORDING TO HIS WILL He hears us. And if we know that He hears us--whatever we ask--we know that we have what we asked of Him. 2 Corinthians 12:8,9: Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness!" James 4:3: When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with the wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures! Romans 8:26,27: The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to PRAY for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with GOD'S WILL! Matthew 18:10-14: Jesus said, �Two men went up to the temple to PRAY, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood up and PRAYED about himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men�robbers, evildoers, adulterers�or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.' But the tax collector stood at a distance, He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'GOD, HAVE MERCY ON ME, A SINNER'!!.'"I tell you that this man rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted!� *FIX YOUR THOUGHTS* ON JESUS!! Hebrews 3:1: Therefore, holy brothers who share in the heavenly calling, FIX YOUR THOUGHTS ON JESUS!! Hebrews 4:12,13: The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any double edged sword... It judges the THOUGHTS and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. EVERYTHING is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account! 2 Corinthians 5:9,10: We make it our goal to please Him... For we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad! 2 Corinthians 10:5: We take captive EVERY THOUGHT and make it obedient to Christ!! Romans 13:14: Clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and DO NOT THINK about how to satisfy the desires of the sinful nature! Matthew 22:37,38: Jesus says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with ALL YOUR MIND!! This is the first and GREATEST commandment!!" Colossians 3:2: Set your MINDS ON THINGS ABOVE, not on earthly things! Romans 12:2: Be transformed by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--His good, pleasing and perfect will!! Romans 8:5,6: Those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their MINDS set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of sinful man is death, but the MIND controlled by the Spirit is life and peace! Philippians 4:8,9: Finally, brothers, whatever is TRUE, whatever is NOBLE, whatever is RIGHT, whatever is PURE, whatever is LOVELY, whatever is ADMIRABLE,THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS**... And the God of peace will be with you!! Post Reply

The Old Testament had 613 laws and the New Covenant of Jesus and His love has about 400 commands which Psalm 119 also applies to. Some of my favorite verses is Psalm 119 are: 119:105: Your Word is a Lamp to my feet and a Light for my path. 119:97: Oh how I love your law, I meditate on it all day long. 119:148: My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I meditate on your promises. 119:164: Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous laws. 119:16: All your Words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal. 119:169: Give me understanding according to your Word. 119:2: Blessed are those who keep His statues and seek Him with all your heart. 119:11: I have hidden your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You. 119:28: Strengthen me according to your Word. Deut 18:17-19: The Lord says, "I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put My words in His mouth, and He will tell them everything I command Him. If anyone does not listen to My words that the Prophet speaks in My Name, I Myself will call Him to account." John 14:23,24: Jesus says, "If anyone loves Me, He will OBEY MY TEACHING! My Father will love Him, and we will come to him and make Our home with him. He 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." Revelation 1:1-3: The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must take place. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, who testifies to everything he saw--that is, the WORD OF GOD and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads the WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it!! 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 anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this Book {Including ETERNAL HELL} And if anyone TAKES WORDS AWAY** 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!� 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. Hebrews 4:12,13: For the WORD OF GOD is alive and active. Sharper than any double edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow, it judges the thoughts an attitudes of the heart! Nothing is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account! 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! Matthew 4:4: Jesus says, "Man does not live on bread alone, but on EVERY WORD FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD!" Matthew 7:24,26: Jesus says, "Everyone who hears these WORDS OF MINE and PUTS THEM INTO PRACTICE is like a wise man who built his house on a Rock... But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand." Luke 8:21: Jesus says, "My mother and brothers are those who hears GOD'S WORD and PUTS THEM INTO PRACTICE!" James 1:22,25: Do not merely listen to the WORD, and so deceive yourselves. DO WHAT IT SAYS... The man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, BUT DOING IT, he will be blessed in what he does. Matthew 13:23: Jesus says, "But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the WORD AND UNDERSTANDS IT. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." John 15:1,2,5,16: Jesus says, "I am the True Vine and my Father is the Gardener. He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful!... This is to my Father's glory that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples!... You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit--fruit that will last!" 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." John 17:17: Jesus prays to His Father, "Sanctify them by the Truth, YOUR WORD IS TRUTH!" 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! James 1:18; He chose to give us BIRTH THROUGH THE WORD of Truth!! I Corinthians 15:2: By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the WORD preached to you. Otherwise you have believed in vain! 2 Corinthians 2:17: Unlike so many, we do not peddle the WORD OF GOD for profit! 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. Ephesians 2:17: Take the sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD OF GOD! 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 2:15: Do your best to present yourselves to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who CORRECTLY HANDLES THE WORD of truth! 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**!!} Post Reply
