8261 | what do the seven seals indicate? | Revelation | EdB | 236755 | ||
It is know that documents of this time were often sealed by the author. They insure the privacy of the what was written and prevented anyone from covertly reading them undetected. The author usually used a number of seals and if their was any witnesses they often placed their seal on the document and at times the scribe or the person that actually wrote the document placed his seal on it. So it was not unusually to have a number of seals on a document. In the book of Revelations each seal reveals something. seals 1-4 the four horsemen, the fifth the souls of the martyrs, they sixth great earthquake and seventh the 7 angels with trumpets. These all have meanings depending on your theology. To explore it more check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_seals Or go to a good commentary written by someone that shares your theology on the Book of Revelation. Another excellent book is Revelation Four Views editted by Steve Gregg and published by Nelson |

8264 | Horses eating horses? | Revelation | EdB | 240049 | ||
To my knowledge there is no passage in the Book of Revelations speaking of horses eating horses. Sonofmom understand there is a lot of symbolism in the Book of Revelations. John is describing things that were not yet fully understood by man at the time and some still aren't. About half of Christianity views the Book of Revelation as symbolism and the other half has offered explanations to the events that are vividly spoken about. However until the Prophecy of the Book is totally fulfilled none of us can be sure the events will occur as man has concluded. Two things are certain. Jesus is coming back. And things are going to get tougher and tougher. Being a true Christian now and even more so in the future requires sacrifice, dedication, commitment and real effort. |

8265 | does revalations speak of a lion with a | Revelation | EdB | 240288 | ||
I suspect this is homework. So I will only give you the chapters. The word Lion is mentioned 6 times in Revelation. Once in chapters 4 and 5 twice in chapter 9 and once again in chapters 10 and 13. Now take the time to read the Book of Revelation and show yourself a workman approved. |

8266 | Christ Jesus testimony / Red writing | Rev 1:1 | EdB | 141905 | ||
What is your question? John 1:1-5 (NASB) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. |

8268 | Christ Jesus testimony / Red writing | Rev 1:1 | EdB | 141983 | ||
One more time John 1:1-5 (NASB) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. The Word was with God and the Word was God. Jesus is God. Jesus inspired the whole Bible. Jesus is also directly quoted in the Bible. Jesus and God are one. EdB |

8269 | to the seven church in the province of A | Rev 1:4 | EdB | 136613 | ||
1:4 seven churches which are in Asia. Asia Minor, equivalent to modern Turkey, was composed of 7 postal districts. At the center of those districts were 7 key cities which served as central points for the dissemination of information. It is to the churches in those cities that John writes. who is and who was and who is to come. God’s eternal presence is not limited by time. He has always been present and will come in the future. the seven Spirits. There are two possible meanings: 1) a reference to Isaiah’s prophecy concerning the 7-fold ministry of the Holy Spirit (Is. 11:2); or 2) more likely, it is a reference to the lampstand with 7 lamps (a menorah) in Zechariah—also a description of the Holy Spirit (see notes on 4:5; 5:6; Zech. 4:1–10). In either case, 7 is the number of completeness, so John is identifying the fullness of the Holy Spirit. MacArthur, J. J. (1997, c1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed.) (Re 1:4). Nashville: Word Pub. Notes from Zech. 4:1–10 referenced above the other two references read similar to note on 1:4 4:1–14 The fourth vision focused on Joshua the High-Priest and, by extension, the cleansing and restoration of the nation to her divinely appointed role as priest. This fifth vision focuses on the civil leader Zerubbabel, a descendant of David, to encourage him in the work of rebuilding the temple. The faithful completion of the work would then enable Israel to again bear light of God’s grace (testimony) to the world. 4:1 as a man who is wakened. Once again the interpreting angel comes to awaken the prophet out of spiritual exhaustion from the holy trauma of the previous vision. Cf. Dan. 10:9. 4:2 seven pipes to the seven lamps. The lampstand is the 7-branched kind used in the tabernacle, with the addition of a bowl on the top of it in order to maintain an abundant supply of oil and pipes to carry the oil to keep the 7 lamps burning. The picture is of an abundant supply. 4:3 Two olive trees. Olive oil, was used in those days to fuel the lamps. The two olive trees supply oil to the bowl. The graphic picture is of limitless oil, supplied automatically without human agency, flowing from the trees down to the bowl, down to the lamps. 4:4 What are these. Zechariah wanted to know the meaning of the two olive trees. Because of Zechariah’s priestly background, his query surprised the interpreting angel (v. 5). His question goes unanswered until later (v. 14). 4:6 This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel. The purpose of the vision was to encourage Zerubbabel to complete the temple rebuilding, to assure him of divine enablement for that venture and the endless supply for the future glory of Messiah’s kingdom and temple. The lampstand pictured Israel fully supplied by God to be His light then and in the future. It must be noted that the church has temporarily taken this role presently (cf. Eph. 5:8,9; Rev. 1:12,13,20), until Israel’s salvation and restoration to covenant blessing and usefulness. Cf. Rom. 11:11–24. Not by might … power, but by My Spirit. Neither human might, wealth, or physical stamina would be sufficient to complete the work. Only an abundant supply of the power of the Holy Spirit, pictured by the “bowl” (v. 2) would enable him to carry out the task, and enable Israel in the Messiah’s kingdom to be a light again to the world by the operation of the Spirit (cf. Ezek. 36:24). 4:7 Who are you, O great mountain? Because the outcome is guaranteed (vv. 6,9), any mountain-like opposition will be leveled by God to become like a flat surface. No obstacle will be able to stop the completion of the temple in Zerubbabel’s time or in the final kingdom of Messiah (cf. Ezek. 40–48). the capstone. The final stone of the building will be put into place, signifying its completion. Grace, grace to it! This blessing signifying shouts of joy and thanksgiving came to pass (cf. Ezra 3:11–13) over the completion of the temple. Contrast this attitude with that of the people seeing the unfinished temple (Hag. 2:3). 4:9 Me. This is the Angel of the Lord (see note on 1:11), the Protector, Deliverer, Defender of Israel, sent to bring this to fulfillment. In the future, He will come as Messiah to set up worship in the temple in His kingdom. 4:10 the day of small things. Though the rebuilding of a temple smaller than Solomon’s may have been discouraging to some (cf. Ezra 3:12; Hag. 2:3), the Lord announced that His pleasure was upon this work, and that His omniscient care (“7 eyes”) was watching over and taking pleasure in its completion. He said in effect, “Don’t despise what God is pleased with.” This was only a picture of the glorious restoration when Messiah comes to reign. That temple will make all others pale by comparison (cf. Ezek. 40–48). MacArthur, J. J. (1997, c1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed.) (Zec 4:1-10). Nashville: Word Pub. EdB |

Yes we know the locations of the seven churches. In fact many exist by the same names today. Most Bibles in their map section have a map showing the location of the seven churches. You can do a google search on the seven churches of Revelation and find a map showing their location. | ||||||

8273 | Jesus and keys to hell and hades | Rev 1:18 | EdB | 11866 | ||
Satan never had them look at Job. God told Satan how far he could go with Satan. God told not to take his life. God controlled life and death. God always had them and in Matthew 28 where Jeus says he was given all authority means the Father gave Him the all authority even the keys to death hell and the grave. | ||||||
8274 | where does it say when jesus went to hel | Rev 1:18 | EdB | 115454 | ||
Norm Hebrews 2:14 is talking of spiritual death not physical. And what was that power? It was his place as an accuser, as a roaring lion seeking to steal, kill and destroy, as a deciever, and as a liar. Satan never had the true power of death, note Job chapter 1 and 2 God clearly and distinctly told Satan what he could and could not do to Job. Notice also that Satan remained obedient to God. Even Satan knows God is God. EdB |

8275 | where does it say when jesus went to hel | Rev 1:18 | EdB | 115530 | ||
Satan Can and will deceive us from believing in Jesus. Many at the put of salvation do not follow through becasue they feel they are unworthy or have time, or it all a giant myth etc. How else can he be called a roaring lion seeking to steal kill and destroy. Jesus us not to fear the one that can only kill the body. Matthew 10:28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. EdB |

8276 | where does it say when jesus went to hel | Rev 1:18 | EdB | 115532 | ||
Let me try this again. Satan can and will deceive us from believing in Jesus. Many at the point of salvation do not follow through because they feel they are unworthy or still have time, or it is all a giant myth etc. How else can he be called a roaring lion seeking to steal kill and destroy. John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. The other reference was incorrect. Sorry EdB |

8277 | Scripture about the keys from hell | Rev 1:18 | EdB | 116316 | ||
banangel In Rev. 1:18 Jesus states he has the keys of Hades and of Death. There is no indication there of where he got them. Some teach that Satan had them and Jesus got them from him. However there is nothing in the Bible to support this theory. Others teach God had them and gave them to Jesus. In support of this in the Book of Job we see God controls who Satan can kill or not therefore God evidently has power of death. We also see God clearly controls heaven and earth. Psalm 24:1 The earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. Psalm 50:10-12 For every beast of the forest is Mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills. [11] I know all the birds of the mountains, And the wild beasts of the field are Mine. [12] "If I were hungry, I would not tell you; For the world is Mine, and all its fullness. Here we see Jesus proclaim He has been given all authority and since God controlled everything we have to assume Jesus got the keys from God. In Matthew 28:18 “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” This would fit with Jewish custom of the time, when a father relinquished control of the family possessions either because of age or death the son got the keys for all he controlled. It is clearly bad teaching that Jesus went to hell and got the keys from Satan. First of all Satan isn’t in hell, Satan wants no part of hell, Satan does not control hell. Satan roams the earth and heaven killing stealing and deceiving he also goes to heaven to accuse the saints (Book of Job, Rev 12). Satan’s end is the Lake of Fire not hell. Rev 20:10. EdB |

8280 | Where in the bible does it say that Jesu | Rev 1:18 | EdB | 147848 | ||
smswann The answer to your question is no where in the Bible does it even hint that Jesus went to Hell or Hades to retrieve any key. The implication is that Satan who many believe that he lives in Hades had the power of life and death. This whole assumption is incorrect. First Hades or Hell is the holding place of the dead not the abode of Satan. Satan prowls the earth seeking those he can destroy. Job 1:7 1 Peter 1:8. Satan is not in Hell or Hades nor is he lord over it. Satan wants no part of hell, has no power there and it isn't his fate. His fate is the Lake of Fire. Rev 20:10 Further Satan does not have the final decision in death for God forbid him from taking Job's life, therefore we see God in fact has the deciding power of who dies. Job 2:6. So if Satan never had the keys of death Hell and the grave and Jesus said in Matthew 28:16 that He was given all authority in Heaven and Earth then we must assume God held the keys and because of Jesus' obedience of going to the cross gave them to Jesus. The teaching as you stated it is without scriptural support and shows a weak understanding of the Sovereignty of God and an inflated perception of Satan’s power. And is just plain wrong! EdB |
