341 | Tell satan's job when he was in heave | Revelation | CDBJ | 188894 | ||
Greetings Bauhinia and welcome to the forum. I had that same question years ago along with several other verses. Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. Tie that with Rev. 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. It was explained to me that Satan and all the fallen angels have already been judged but that Satan is going through the appeals process before his execution is carried out. I can’t verify that with scripture but it makes sense to me. But there is a time coming when his execution will be carried out and Satan knows when his numbers is up when the war takes place in heaven and he is grounded. Rev. 12:12-13 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. 13And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. (A reference to Israel and Christ Jesus) Satan will have his last hurrah by going after God’s elect knowing that his time is short. i.e. forty two months or three and a half years left. Rev. 12:12 (B) because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. The elect or saints will have their chance to suffer for the righteousness that they have in Christ and be accounted worthy when the following takes place. Rev. 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. Here is what is referred to as a near far application or type and antitype by those that suffer persecution. 2 Thes. 1:4-7 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 6Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, The saints of church of Thessalonica are a type of what will later take place with saints all over the Earth in the latter days after Satan is cast down. Jesus describes it this way, Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

Hi Harper and welcome to the forum. It’s not a mater of “if” Jesus was sinless, but “since” He was sinless. 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, “WHO KNEW NO SIN”; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. I think the answer to your question is found in the following verses. Now we know that John the Baptist believed in repentance yet he made the following statement to the crowed. Matthew 3:11-17 (KJV) I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: 12Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. 13Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. 16And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Jesus answered John with the same answer that you are looking for in verse 15. Matthew 3:15 (NASB) But Jesus answering said to him, "Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he permitted Him. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

Hi Steve, You got me thinking on this one. When it gets right down to it does it really make any difference, First Second or Third? i.e. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. All of the members of the Godhead are equal why do we actually designate Them as such as first second and third and which verses say that; I must be in a stupor because I can’t think of any but I believe it?

Hello M.Royal, Am I hearing you right, are you suggesting that the Old Testament saints won’t be with Christ since they aren’t designated as being in the church age? All I was trying to point out was that all those that had on white robs and holding palms in their hands were given those bodies when they were delivered from the period called the tribulation; and that being the precise timing of what is known as the rapture, nothing more nothing less. Rev. 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. There are some that would have us believe that it is only a specific group of only those who live in the era. The Bible doesn’t suggest that but it clearly states “when they were removed”. The passage, the way I see it, is in reference to all believers that have trusted in the Messiah and it points to the timing of their change of station. 1 Thes. 4:15-18 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words. I believe this study is getting off of the intended path for whatever reason I’m not sure? CDBJ |

Hi M.Royal, In Rev. 7 we see all those standing around in white robes from every nation on earth “all” praising God for His glorious deliverance or salvation. “All of the angels” are there “the twenty four elders” are also there, along with the “four beast”. It appears that everyone in heaven is present for this grand occasion and celebration, yet there is “not one mention” of the church! Doesn’t it seem strange if according to some, they are rapture before the tribulation and are in the presence of the Lord yet they aren’t in this great celebration? They are there alright; they are the ones standing there along with the all the saints of old with palms in there hands and they were just recently given new bodies when called out of the tribulation when it was cut short by they Lord’s appearing. 1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: John didn’t recognize them because there were very, very few by comparison when he was walking on Earth when he wrote the book of Revelation. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings InGodTrust, I’m glad you like the poem. Here is one that came about from a prayer that I offered up to the Lord when my precious wife was at death’s door several years ago. Psalm 107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; A SHORT PRAYER Oh Father I fear, and that for life, Not for me dare say, but for that of my wife. She’s a gem to me, now polished by years, The love of my life, a kindred in tears. I plead for her safety, her health, her well being, But the wear of cruel time is what I’ve been seeing. She loves you, Lord, and you are the best, I can’t compete when it comes to that test. Please let her stay here a while, and dispel my great fears, I love her more now in these golden of years. A helpmate for sure is what she has been, Always there by my side through thick and through thin. I know I’ve no right in this prayer I proclaim, But I ask this dear Father in Jesus’ sweet name. Amen CDBJ |

Greetings M.Royal, Why do people assume that the tribulation and the wrath of God are one and the same? The book of Revelation clearly shows that God's wrath doesn't start until after the breaking of the sixth seal. Rev. 6:15-17 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Compare the previous verses plus the beginning of Rev. 7 with what Paul taught in Thes. 1:7-9 2 Thes. 1:7-9 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; Paul said rest with “us”, he meant living saints i.e. the living believers alive when it happened. The book of seals containing the wrath of God is held in check until the conditions of each seal it met and when the last seal is broken then God’s wrath will be unleashed by angles at the first part of chapter 7 the seals designate what must first take place on earth before God’s angles are turned loose for God’s onslaught, which will start with fire. God’s Wrath is against unbelievers that have be making God’s Children miserable. and troubling them under the dictates of antichrist. CDBJ |

I pray, as I am commanded, and put it in the Lord's hands. He is still on his throne and in charge of this world’s outcome. I've read then end of His Book and we win. Romans 8:37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. Know matter how you slice it, Romans 13:1 Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Let’s just keep this forum as a Bible study forum and permit those that would do otherwise to form their own forum whenever and under whatever name they desire. To do otherwise is in against the rules and guidelines established by the Lockman Foundation and those in violation will be informed of such activity if they persists and you can count on it! 2 Tim. 4:2-3 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Hello 00123, Well for starters, please first prove that there is such a thing as a Christian nation. I wasn't aware that the Bible suggested such a place. Chapter and verse if you could please. Psalm 119:160 The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. Maybe you could explain exactly what a “Christian” is from a biblical view point and we can move on from there. CDBJ |

353 | Why does Jesus come as a thief? | 2 Pet 3:10 | CDBJ | 188259 | ||
Greetings Mark, With reference to your pointing out the Lord’s wrath as you stated: “Therefore, they are not equal to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, nor are they equal to the flood. Therefore, this argument does not show a requirment that the trumpet and bowl judgments only following Jesus' second coming.” I think that many try to read more into the verses about Noah and Lot then are actually taught. Luke 17:26-30 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. Now from reading those verses can we “assume” that someone will be building an ark when it happens or gathering feed for all the animals? Maybe everyone will be wearing sandals and there won’t be any cars trucks or planes or if one looks back they could be turned into a pillar of salt, I gest? I believe the emphasis expressed in the previous verses is on the fact that God’s wrath will occur on the “very same day”; the day that God’s believers are delivered to safety and or removed from harm before God strikes, nothing more nothing less.

355 | Why does Jesus come as a thief? | 2 Pet 3:10 | CDBJ | 188152 | ||
Greetings Cheri, Just for starters check out the 144,000 that God has sealed. Rev. 7:2-3 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. There is no evidence that these are believers at the time of there sealing. Romans 11:25 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.

Hi Hoppy, I believe that the rapture and the day of the Lord are two different events but they will both take place on the same day. That “spectacular day” will start as a very, very dark day, so dark that the sun won’t even penetrate but the awesome power of God will roll up the clouds like a scroll when it snaps shut and the whole world will see God coming in His glory, believers and unbelievers alike, every eye will see Him, just like lighning. The believers will be praising God because they will know it is their glorious day of deliverance. The unbelievers, on the other hand, will be trying to hide from God’s wrath because they know they’re going to get clobbered because the day of His wrath is come, so they will be looking for a cave to hide in or a rock to crawl under. As soon as the believers in Christ are snatched away, i.e. the rapture, at the last trumpet, God is going to strike those left behind with His mighty wrath just like a thief in the night, to them that don’t believe in God’s glorious gospel of the message of His Christ. Paul speaks of two different groups in Thessalonians; it’s interesting to note the two groups; "believers" are spoken of as (we, you and us), and the "unbelievers" are described as (they and them). The “unbelievers” will be shouting peace and safety, holding to the promises of the lie conveyed by Satan’s man, the antichrist. God Himself by then will have sent those that “have rejected Jesus Christ” as their Saviour, strong delusions so that they will believe the lie of the antichrist. The elect of God will be relating the promises declared by the Bible and seeing the unfolding of perilous times as mentioned by Jesus in Matt 24. and elaborated on in Revelation. Many believers are going to be thinking that their faith is in vain because they have been taught that they wouldn’t face such troublesome times. Many believers alive at that time are going to be devastated thinking that the rapture isn't going to take place. Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Luke 17:29-30 (But the same day) ------- that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. Two events but both occurring on one and the same day, one precedes the other but in very rapid succession, in a twinkling of an eye. When will the Lord’s Day take place? 2 Thes. 1:6-9 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When will the Lord avenge His elect of the suffering they are going to go through? This day, 2 Thes. 1:10 (When he shall come to be glorified in his saints,) ------------ and to be admired in “all them that believe” (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. CDBJ |

357 | Are Rapture and Apostasy the same thing? | 2 Thess 2:3 | CDBJ | 188076 | ||
Hi M.Royal, I like your postings but experience has shown that very few will actually look up the verses suggested and read them unless they are written out in full on the forum. II Tim. 2:24,25 Or 2 Tim. 2:24-25 (KJV) And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; The object is to preach the word not, just an address. 2 Tim. 4:2 (KJV) Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. Addresses in the Bible, i.e. chapters and verses, weren’t even in existence when this was commanded. For what it's worth, CDBJ |
||||||
358 | Why do we teach otherwise? | 2 Thess 2:3 | CDBJ | 187855 | ||
Greetings M. Royal I agree and that's what Scripture teaches. Often time’s believers will pull one or two verses out of the Bible and try to elaborate on their few pet verses to establish truth. The fact of the matter is, the truth of God’s word is only established after all the verses on any given doctrine are considered then and only then is the truth know and when it is known, we never stand in judgment of it, it always stands in judgment of us. I believe, but don’t quote me on this, the last part of that statement is a saying from A.W. Tozer. Psalm 119:160 The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. CDBJ |

359 | E-Security only for true believers? | Matt 7:21 | CDBJ | 187813 | ||
Hello L4w2h, The first part of your question covers a considerable amount of latitude, “Are not professing to be a Christian”. Now if you would have boiled that down to “true believers” in Jesus Christ it would have limit the playing field by about 80 percent. The true believer in Christ puts all of the responsibility for their eternal future in Jesus hands. Ephes. 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. And my favorite verses of Scripture. 1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Couple those verses, speaking of Jesus, with the following Ephes. 1:13-14 (NKJV) In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. As Paul uses the words, “now we know”; knowing that one is secure is the result of knowing the fact that the Lord is in control, because one is rightly divide the Word of truth; i.e. the result of the intake of Bible doctrine on a consistant basis. I “personally believe” that if I thought I could possibly loose my “promised salvation”, that I would be displaying or committing the epitome of personal arrogance. What could “I” be thinking if I thought there was even a single sin that I could possibly commit, after trusting in Jesus that God neglected consider when He poured out all of my sins on person of Jesus Christ and judged them in His unique Son? That’s like saying that I can do something that is smarter then God; which is absolutely ridiculous and teeters on the edge of blasphemy. This needs no response because in my thinking Jesus is the ultimate and there are no ifs ands or buts; Jesus paid it all! Please, please don’t even answer this just consider what was said since I refuse to debate it. Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. CDBJ |
