482 | Cloud and Smoke | Is 6:4 | azurelaw | 201905 | ||
Dear Cheri, I've checked that there are a few different saying, however I would prefer John Gill's over the others in concern with the context of the succeeding verses especially v9-10. "And the house was filled with smoke; this was a token either of the burning of the temple, or of the anger of God against the Jews, Psalm 18:8 or of their superstition and will worship, the cause of it, Revelation 9:1 or of the judicial blindness and darkness they were given up unto, Isaiah 6:9 or rather of the presence of God in his church, and with his ministers, Exodus 40:3 the allusion may be to the cloud of incense that covered the mercy seat, on the day of atonement,..." - John Gill Hope the above helpful. Shalom Azure |

Dear Mike, Excuse me that I have no idea on the captioned programme. My post is to give you some encouragement (hopefully) in your situation. I have read your past posts and I can tell you that you are not the only person in the world experiencing numerous backslidings. When I open my email this morning, I received the below message from DaySpring Blessings which I would like to share with you: "God wants you to move through this day with a quiet heart, an inward assurance that He is in control, a peaceful certainty that your life is in His hands, a deep trust in His plan and purposes, and a thankful disposition toward all that he allows. He wants you to put your faith in Him, not in a timetable. He wants you to wait on Him and wait for Him. In His perfect way He will put everything together....see to every detail....arrange every circumstance....and order every step to bring to pass what He has for you." --Roy Lessin Isaiah 40:31 Shalom Azure |

487 | do we need to fast? | Is 58:1 | azurelaw | 193733 | ||
Dear elden, You may also read Matt 9:14-15 where Jesus and His disciples were charged by the Pharisees for not fasting. By the way, the below commentary should be helpful to answer your question. "...Christ pleads in defence of their not fasting. ...it was not a season proper for that duty (v. 15): Can the children of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? …… Every duty is to be done in its proper season. See Eccles. 7:14; Jam. 5:13. There is a time to mourn and a time to laugh, to each of which we should accommodate ourselves, and bring forth fruit in due season. In fasts, regard is to be had to the methods of God's grace towards us; when he mourns to us, we must lament; and also to the dispensations of his providence concerning us; there are times when the Lord God calls to weeping and mourning; regard is likewise to be had to any special work before us, ch. 17:21; Acts 13:2." - Matthew Henry's commentary Shalom Azure |

488 | simplest paraphrase request | Is 60:20 | azurelaw | 195606 | ||
Dear glassbopper, Please see below a brief introduction of the chapter by John Gill: "As, in the two preceding chapters, the hypocrisy and formality, the profaneness and immorality, that should abound in the latter day, and even among professors of religion, are prophesied of; so, in this, a very ample account is given of latter daylight and glory; of both the spiritual and personal reign of Christ, with the latter of which it concludes. The light and glory of the church, in the spiritual reign, are described, Isaiah 60:1 the numerous conversions of persons to it from all quarters, east and west particularly, are prophesied of, Isaiah 60:4, the great usefulness those should be of unto it, in enriching it, and building it up, and in glorifying it, is declared, Isaiah 60:9, as also the subjection of enemies to it; the favours it should receive from kings, and the fame and renown of it through all nations and ages, Isaiah 60:14, its riches, prosperity, peace, and safety, Isaiah 60:17 and the chapter is concluded with an account of the more perfect state of the church in the personal reign of Christ, when there will be a perfection of light and righteousness; and the number of God's elect will be complete, and they will be all together, Isaiah 60:19."

491 | potter's field, field of blood same? | Jer 7:32 | azurelaw | 200971 | ||
Dear boanerges, Welcome to the forum. Scripture: Jer 7:32, Mat 27:5-8 I believe the below quote from an old post (28005)of brother Kalos is helpful to answer your question. ***** Judas himself, in his despair, went out and hanged himself, (Matthew 27:5) at Aceldama, on the southern slope of the valley of Hinnom, near Jerusalem, and in the act he fell down a precipice and was dashed into pieces. (Acts 1:18) "And he went to his own place." (Acts 1:25 ) "A guilty conscience must find neither hell or pardon." **** Shalom Azure |

492 | holy unto the lord? | Jer 7:32 | azurelaw | 201006 | ||
Dear boanerges, May I offer you the below commentary from John Gill which I think should be helpful concerning Jer 31:40. Shalom Azure **** "And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes,.... The Targum paraphrases it, "where the carcasses of the Assyrian army fell;" Sennacherib's army, destroyed by an angel; and so Jarchi and Kimchi; which latter observes, that the word for "ashes" signifies "fat"; and so may describe the persons then destroyed, who were fat and lusty men: others think, more probably, that the valley of Tophet or Hinnom is here meant; so called, either from the persons that were burnt and sacrificed to Moloch; or from the carcasses of malefactors interred here; and from the ashes of the sacrifices which were brought from the temple, and laid here. This valley lay southwest of the city; it was a ditch at the foot of the mount of Calvary; where, as Monsieur Thevenot says, now stands the chapel of the invention of the cross: and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron; such as the potters and fullers' fields, which lay to the south of the city, or more to the east, where Kidron was situated: unto the corner of the horse gate towards the east; and so the compass is fetched round the city to the eastern part of it, from whence it began, even to the tower of Hananeel, which was on the east of this horse gate; see 2 Kings 11:16. The Targum renders it, "to the corner of the gate of the house of the king's course;" supposed to be the gate at which the king's horses went in and out, when led to be watered or exercised: [shall be] holy unto the Lord; that is, the whole city in its utmost compass thus rebuilt, yea, even the out parts of it, and those that were defiled with the carcasses of men, and ashes of the burnt offerings. It seems to respect the extensive holiness of the church of God in the latter day; compare with it Zechariah 14:10; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever; which, if understood literally of the city of Jerusalem, can only signify, that it should not be destroyed soon, but should continue a long time; for certain it is, that after it was rebuilt by Zerubbabel, it was plucked up, and thrown down by the Romans, and particularly by Hadrian, who ploughed it up, and built another city, and called it by his own name; but this figuratively rather intends the church of Christ, which is built on him the Rock, and so is immovable; and, like Mount Zion, shall abide for ever." - John Gill |

493 | Explain Lamentations 4:10-11 | Lam 1:8 | azurelaw | 225401 | ||
Dear infin, Jerusalem was laid seige and destroyed by the army of Babylon. The city was experiencing great famine. This chapter of Lamentations portrayed about the tribulation Israelites experiencing at that time. Why did they suffer so greatly? See chapter 1:8 (Jerusalem sinned greatly). You also need to read the book of Jeremiah. It would be good and helpful to study the history of the Israelites in the OT (starting from Abraham when God called him out and blessed him to become a great nation). You will see how rebellious (continuously rebelled against God) they were despite God's everlasting kindness, love and care on them. You ask: "Is this the God Jesus worshipped?" Can you elaborate? What do you believe Jesus to be? May I also ask you: What are the attributes of God that you know of when you read the Bible? May the Holy Spirit shed light on you and guide you in your study. Shalom Azure |

498 | why was the women and children put in de | Dan 6:24 | azurelaw | 201901 | ||
Dear jan31, Most probably this was done according to the law of the ancient Persian: "Among the Persians, all the kindred were involved in the guilt of one culprit. The Mosaic law expressly forbade this (De 24:16; 2Ki 14:6)." - Jamieson, Faussett and Brown Such kind of merciless punishment was pretty much the same as the ancient China Emperors and the degree of severity varied according to the level of law offended. When it came to denounce about a person cheating or unfaithful to the King, not only their wives and children, but also all the direct or indirect kinship or relatives were put to death as well in ancient China.
