1 | no one was able? | Rev 15:8 | Thomas8 | 204088 | ||
What do you think "no one was able to go into the sanctuary" means? Would it apply to believers? Would it mean no one was being added to the church? | ||||||
2 | no one was able? | Rev 15:8 | Val | 204092 | ||
Rev 15:5 After these things I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle of testimony in heaven was opened, Thomas let the verses in their context explain what it means. Looking at verse 5 we see this is the temple in heaven. It means what it says. There is not a hidden meaning. Looking at verse 8 tells us the when "until". A good starting point to find the context (context means that which goes with the verse) is to look at the verses surrounding the verse in question. So the verses that go with verse 8 would be 7 and 9. You can carry this principal further to include the whole chapter, then the whole book, then the entire bible. The next step in bible study is to look at the definations of any words we do not understand, Hebrew/Aramaic in the OT and Greek in the new. The next step is to look at cross references. Cross references where the same word is used in other passages. It is here, in the cross references, that the meaning becomes more clear. Hope this helps. Blessings - Val |

Hi Val, I'm asking in relation to ... Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, (Heb 4:16a KJVR) During the period that the sanctuary is closed how does that affect things? |

Thank you for your clarification Thomas. This is how I study the bible. I study one book at a time. I find who the author is and who the recepient is. I find the author's purpose for writing. I find the theme of the book as well as the theme of each chapter and how they relate to the theme of the book. I am currently studying the book of Hebrews. Now your question is how do I relate what I see in Revelation about not entering the sanctuary to what I see in Hebrews to come boldly to the throne of grace. Ok upon my first impression I see that Revelation is talking about a future time period in my opinion. However, there is no time when we cannot come to the throne of grace as this is talking about prayer. Revelation I believe talks about judgment. It takes an in-depth study of both books to properly interpret them. When we do this some of our questions will fall into place. I do not fully understand the Revelation passage but one thing I do not do is read anything into it that is not there in the verse. I use Kay Arthur's How to Study your bible as well as her inductive study bible available from the Lockman Foundation. If I am following your question, you want to know if people can be saved during the time of judgement in Revelation. I believe the answer is yes. The whole purpose of the bible is the theme of Christ Jesus as the redeemer so anything in the plan of God is to accomplish that purpose. | ||||||
