1 | The city that bears God's name? | 1 Kin 11:36 | Makarios | 14823 | ||
What does this verse mean by saying "Jerusalem, the city where I have chosen for Myself to put My name."?? If the Lord has chosen Jerusalem to put His Name there, then does this make it obvious why the nations of the Middle East are fighting Israel for the "Promised Land", since satan wants his name there also, because the Lord has especially chosen Jerusalem? Beyond that, I can find no other reason for so much fighting over such a small piece of land that is no bigger than St. Joseph County (the County that I live in).. Any thoughts? | ||||||
2 | The city that bears God's name? | 1 Kin 11:36 | outfora | 14826 | ||
in the realm of god, a city had to be chosen for him to put his name, as it was with a people having to be chosen to bear his name, the israelites. david was the servant whom god chose to bring the ark to jerusalem, thus establishing the seat of god. now, if jesus, of a surety, has his name put there, and god of a surety has his name there, then the words "myself to put my name" are fulfilled. thus endeth the putting of the name. the current events in jerusalem and surrounds are a continuation of prophecy, more so revelation, and word which needs come to pass. satan, as always, has little to do with it apart from being a comforting bedfellow to those shouting at each other. | ||||||

Thank you for your response outfora! Could it be that if the Ezekiel 38 prophecy is speaking about Russia, Persia (Iraq), Lybia, and Egypt all coming together to attack Israel under a "united Arab front", that they will use weapons of mass destruction to do so and the Lord will come and then rescue Israel? The times that we are living in now are indeed intriguing and fearful.. But we as Christians have no need to fear, since we will be with Christ when we die. Yes, I agree! The seat of God has been firmly established in Jerusalem and satan has little to do with it. I liked how you put that "a comforting bedfellow".. :) Blessings, Nolan |

thank you for commenting on my response. pardon my contradicting your notation. i would agree on islam being the antgonist, however, russia will be first to come to israels aid in the certain advent of the confrontation to come. ( perhaps as penance for their years of national atheism ) as for christians having no need to fear, i would suggest that they have as much need to fear as any man has to fear on this earth. christianity is the most divided body who proclaim to worship the true god. if christians truly believed as a body in the godhead there would be no need for denominational establishments. and i am sure that you would agree that god is not divided. shalom outfora |
