502 | pray your flight | Matt 24:20 | prayon | 172079 | ||
Greetings Betjburgess and welcome to the forum, Exodus 31:14 says that the Isrealites must keep the Sabbath and if they defiled it and did any work they would surely be put to death. On the Sabbath anything was considered work including traveling. A person was not even allowed to start a fire in their house (Ex 35:3). In addition the gates to the city where locked. A person would of therefore been unable to flee the city when they saw the abomination of desolation. Fleeing in the winter is pretty much self explanatory. It would of been very cold. Hope this helps your understanding. prayon | ||||||

504 | the rapture??? | Matt 24:40 | prayon | 20617 | ||
Jesus is stressing in Matt. 24: 40-42 that we must always remain watchful for we know not the day or the hour of his return. prayon | ||||||
505 | Will the believer or non believer be go? | Matt 24:40 | prayon | 55478 | ||
Greetings Ken John, In 1Thes 4:16-17 Paul tells us that in a "with the sound of the trumpet...the dead shall rise first. Then we that are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together to meet the Lord in the air." When we look at Matt 24:31 tells us that those that rise will be His elect. The sound of the trumpet and the rapture of the saints will usher in the tribulation. In Matt 24:40-41 Jesus is telling us that Christ's 2nd coming will be swift and sudden. There will be no opportunity for afterthought, last minute repentance or bargaining. The believer will be taken in that "twinkling of an eye" the unsaved will be left to face the tribulation and the rule of the anti-christ. Hope this helps. agape, prayon |

506 | the ten virgins | Matt 25:1 | prayon | 26414 | ||
Greetings! In addition to Nolan's answer I wanted to add a little bit of symbolism. Lamps: Each virgin had a lamp. A lamp is a symbol of Christian profession. (Psa 119:105, Pro 6:23). 10 Virgins: In Jewish custom 10 constitutes a complete congregation. Oil: Oil is consistantly used in Scripture to symbolize power and the person of the Holy Spirit. The oil in the lamp causes it to produce light (2Cor 1:21-22). Sleepers: Christ is longer in coming than the church expected. Many have become complacent concerning his return. The virgins may appear selfish by not sharing their oil but we must remember that no one can give the Holy Spirit to another. Those who tried to get into heaven represent those who profess to be Christians but have no light. They are pretenders. They may appear to live an obedient life but in actuality have no personal relationship with Jesus and therefore He said He did not know them. In the custom of the marriage couple at that time when the groom was ready for the marriage to happen he went to the brides house and tried to catch her when she least expected. The bottom line of this parable is that you cannot borrow or loan a relationship with God, each person has to have their own. prayon |

509 | what is the lords supper? | Matt 26:26 | prayon | 91373 | ||
Greetings Lisakb and welcome to the forum, The Lord's supper is also known as the Last Supper, Communion, or the Lord's table. In the early Church it was called also “Eucharist,” or giving of thanks. It was the last evening meal that Jesus ate with His apostles. The gospel accounts tell us that this was the passover meal. The account of the institution of this ordinance is given in Mat_26:26-29, Mar_14:22-25, Luk_22:19, Luk_22:20, and 1Co_11:24-26. It is not mentioned by John. It was designed, 1. To commemorate the death of Christ: “This do in remembrance of me.” 2. To signify, seal, and apply to believers all the benefits of the new covenant. In this ordinance Christ ratifies his promises to his people, and they on their part solemnly consecrate themselves to him and to his entire service. 3. To be a badge of the Christian profession. 4. To indicate and to promote the communion of believers with Christ. 5. To represent the mutual communion of believers with each other. The elements used to represent Christ's body and blood are bread and wine. The kind of bread, whether leavened or unleavened, is not specified. Christ used unleavened bread simply because it was at that moment on the paschal table. Wine, and no other liquid, is to be used (Mat_26:26-29). Believers “feed” on Christ's body and blood, 1. not with the mouth in any manner, but 2. by the soul alone, and 3. by faith, which is the mouth or hand of the soul. This they do 4. by the power of the Holy Ghost. This “feeding” on Christ, however, takes place not in the Lord's Supper alone, but whenever faith in him is exercised. This is a permanent ordinance in the Church of Christ, and is to be observed “till he come” again. (Eerdman's Bible Dictionary). There were many important things that happened as Jesus ate with His apostles. They include: 1. Betrayal by Judas 2. institution of Communion 3.opportunity to say farewell to Jesus and show their sorrow 4)promise ofresurrection and the kingdom 5) Washing of the disciples feet by Jesus prayon |

510 | Did Jesus suffer from depression? | Matt 26:37 | prayon | 148760 | ||
Greetings, No He did not suffer from depression. The KJV says that He felt sorrowful and very heavy. Sorrowful means saddness or to grieve. God's Word translation says that He felt "deep anguish." The Message bible says that He felt "agonizing sorrow". He was filled with such great sorrow because of what wash happening that He felt weighed down but not depressed. prayon |

511 | Why was Judas' kiss needed? | Matt 26:48 | prayon | 21230 | ||
Greetings SpreadWord! A kiss can be a sign of affection, salutation, or worship. Kissing was one of the many signs of greeting in the ancient near east. The "Holy Kiss" of the epistles is simply the traditional kiss of greeting. For a teacher to greet his teacher as 'Rabbi' and kiss him was a common practice; but Judas dispciably, used these tokens of love as an instrument of betrayal. prayon | ||||||
512 | Why did Jesus not answer charges? | Matt 26:62 | prayon | 6806 | ||
Jesus refused to answer because He knew that it would do no good to do so. It would of been as they say adding fuel to the fire. Staying silent was also His legal right. He used His whole life was an answer to their questions. He stood silent while being dignified. Matt 27: 14 says that in doing this He greatly amazed the govenor. By the way - In Matt 26:64 Jesus did answer Caiaphas, it is Herod that He did not answer (Luke 23:9). | ||||||
513 | Distance Jesus walked to Calvary | Matt 27:32 | prayon | 29812 | ||
Greetings, We are not told exactly how far Jesus had to walk outside the city but I do not believe it was any great distance at all. The bible only tells us that He was led out of the city. Jerusalem was considered the Holy city, the Temple of God was located there as well as God's presence. To crucify anyone inside the city would of meant defiling the city. They only had to be outside of the city to crucify anyone. Jesus was made to feel the shame of a common criminal being forced outside the city. prayon | ||||||
514 | Were there 2 or 4 men hung on the cross | Matt 27:38 | prayon | 165343 | ||
Greetings jalanlambert, There were 2 men crucified with Jesus. According to Websters Dictionary a malefactor is "one who commits a crime; one guilty of violating the laws, in such a manner as to subject him to public prosecution and punishment, particularly to capital punishment; a criminal." Malefactor therefore is interchangable with thieves. According to different translations the words robber and criminal are also used. Hope this answers your question. prayon |

515 | Yes, but what happened back then? | Matt 27:46 | prayon | 19197 | ||
To understand this statement we must look at the whole passage (v. 47-50). The great darkness that covered the land fromt the sixth to the ninth hour was a part of hell. God called hell "darkness". It was a part of God's curse that Christ carried because our sins were laid upon Him. The literal darkness represented the spiritual darkness against which He battled, for it was at this time that a great battle against the darkness of despair taking place. When our sins were laid upon Him He felt the guilt as though it were His own, (see Ps 22:6). He realized that the sins of the world laid upon Him caused a barrier between Him and God. Satan threatened Him with the horrible suggestion that the hell that blazed around Him might close over Him and hold Him. From the deepest depth of His heart came the cry of anguish "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" It was a cry of desperate need and a prayer for help but above all it was a cry of immovable faith. The words "My God" proclaimed faith in His eternal relationship to God, which the power of hell could not shake. God immediately answered the cry, darkness was replaced with light symbolizing His full acceptance of the sacrifice. (exerts taken from BSF notes Lesson #31 of Matthew). prayon | ||||||
516 | WAS JESUS FORSAKEN BY HIS FATHER? | Matt 27:46 | prayon | 40935 | ||
Greetings, The cry "why have you forsaken me" was a cry of anguish, a cry of desperate need, and a cry for help. It was a cry of prophecy as well as a cry of immovable faith. "My God" proclaimed faith in His eternal relationship to God. For three hours before His cry Jesus suffered in silence the judgement of God upon our sins. The literal darkness represented the spiritual darkness against which He battled. God immediately answered His cry by removing the darkness which symbolized God's full acceptance of the sacrifice. prayon |

517 | what was the org. day of the sabbath | Matt 28:1 | prayon | 72225 | ||
Greetings dgodsdiva and welcome to the forum, In order to get an answer to this question we must look at the crusifixion of Christ. Christ was crucified on Friday( the preperation day),rested on the sabbath day in the tomb,(Saturday),and arose on the first day of the week(Sunday). How did the change take place from Saturday to Sunday take place? Church history tells us. It happened during Roman times when the church and government became one. During the reign of Constintine,(a pagan and nominal christian), who worshiped the sun. Their festival day was Sunday (the venerable day of the sun). In order to unite the empire with the churches apostasy and to incorporate the pagans into the church (along with many of their practices and idol worship), the day was slowly changed to Sunday. prayon |

518 | Evidence that women's role has changed? | Matt 28:10 | prayon | 39963 | ||
Greetings Erika, I would also like to add to the above the situation of Aquilla, Pricilla and Apollos. In Acts 18:26 it tells us that Pricilla and Aquilla taught Apollos the way of God more accurately. They taught not he taught. In addition God tells us specifically in Joel 2:28 that in the end times He "will pour out His Spirit on ALL flesh; your sons and your daughters will prophecy.....Even on the male and female slaves in those days, will I pour out my spirit". Also in 1Cor 11:5 it tells us that women were not allowed to prophecy with their head uncovered and 1Cor chapters 12-14 that women have spiritual gifts and they are encouraged to use them in the body of Christ. You can also find much more on women in the ministry by typing in "women ministry" in the search box. prayon |

519 | what does it mean to be a disciple? | Matt 28:19 | prayon | 6962 | ||
Disciple comes from the greek word mathetes, which means one who learns. A disciple is one who is an apprentice or student attached to a teacher or movement; one whose allegiance is to the instruction and commitments of that teacher or movement. Most New Testament references to "disciple designate "followers of Jesus". To be a disciple means to be a follower and student of Jesus and His word. | ||||||
520 | how and what must we do to be disciples | Matt 28:19 | prayon | 7031 | ||
You can follow someone and still learn, therefore we can be a follower and a student. To make disciples of nations we must go out and witness to others and teach others about Christ so that they will become students of Christ. In turn then they will prayerfully make more disciples. | ||||||
