1 | Does the many include Israel? | Dan 9:27 | following him | 134316 | ||
Hello all; In dan 9:27 the "Beast" makes a covenant with "The many". My understanding is that the many refer to the nations of the world. But does that include Isreal? I know that we assume that it does but in most places I am aware of when God speak of all nations it does not always include Isreal but only gentile nations (see Joel ch 3). Could it be possible that someone in Israel makes the covenant with the many i.e. the nations of the world? Blsessing to you Aaron |

2 | What is willing? | Matt 8:2 | following him | 131203 | ||
Hello Tim Moran; I have a question for you concerning a particular word in Matt 8:2 “And a leper came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean." The word is “willing” I have looked into it but would like an experts view of it. It is the word “Thelo”. My understanding of it is that this word does not simply mean “ desire, want to etc.” because it is so closly tied to the actual performing of the desire. In other words the desire and the performing of it cannot be seperated. They are almost the same thing in regard to this word. The reason this is significant to me is I wonder if the leper had the view of Jesus that the centurian had concerning Jesus’ authority. It seems to me that the leper knew who Jesus was and when he asked Jesus to cleanse him, he was basically saying “your will cannot but be accomplished, so if that is your will it will happen.” And what is the differenece between this word “Willing” and the word “will” in 1 John 5:14 “This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” Blessing to you brother Aaron |

5 | Matt 16:28 "some" and "see" | Matt 16:28 | following him | 127827 | ||
Tim; I have a question regarding the greek in Matt 16:28. The word "some"...I looked it up myself and found that it could mean "one". Is this an acurate accessement? Would this be a viable interpretaion? Is it possible that this verse Jesus is refering to John only (and the revelation given to him) and not refering to several people. Also the word "see" does it imply experiencing the kingdom not just watching it. If it is just a visual observation then this scripture could very well be refering to the vision John was to receive on Patmos. He indeed saw Christ coming into His kingdom in that vision. Grace to you |

6 | Matt 16:28 some and see | Matt 16:28 | following him | 127670 | ||
Tim Moran; I have a question regarding the greek in this particular scripture if you don't mind answering it? The word "some"...I looked it up myself and found that it could mean "one". Is this an acurate accessement? I see that there might be a connection to John 21:21-23 regarding John only and not refering to several people. Also the word "see" does it imply experiencing the kingdom not just watching it. If it is just a visual observation then this scripture could very well be refering to the vision John was to receive on Patmos. He indeed saw Christ coming into His kingdom in that vision. Grace to you brother |

8 | How do you view Rev 2:1-7 | Rev 2:1 | following him | 126926 | ||
I am looking for views on the interpretations of the different letters to the churches in Rev 2 and 3 currently interested in the letter to the church in Ephesus. Rev 2:1-7 Rev 2:1 "To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks among the seven golden lampstands, says this: Rev 2:2 'I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false; Rev 2:3 and you have perseverance and have endured for My name's sake, and have not grown weary. Rev 2:4 'But I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Rev 2:5 'Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place--unless you repent. Rev 2:6 'Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. Rev 2:7 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.' Scriptural references would be appreciated. Thanks and Blessing to you all. |

10 | Acts 5-7 just looking for opinions | Acts | following him | 126061 | ||
Greetings all; For the next two weeks my pastor will be in Chile and he has asked me to fill in for him at a Bible study he normally leads. We are studying through the book of Acts and while he is gone we will be covering chapters 5 thru 7. Those chapters cover Ananias and Sapphira, establishment of the group of leaders to see to the needs of the people, and Stephen. But beyond these what are some of the things that those of you who wish to answer find most interesting, revealing, encouraging, challenging, admonishing or any other "ings" you can think of in these three chapters. |

11 | Hades shall not overpower the church? | Matthew | following him | 123154 | ||
Matt 16:18 "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it." I've always been taught that this is refering to the idea of our overcoming and defeating the devil and his hordes as they try to do all they can to hinder our growth and relationship with Christ. However Hades is not the abode of the devil and his minions it is the place of the dead, the intermediate place where the souls of those who died go while they wait for judgement from God. This refers to death itself which Jesus defeated when He was resurrected. Therefore Hades would not prevail in that sense as for the church to be absent from the body is to be present before the Lord. Am I missing something here? I would appriciate all opinions. | ||||||

13 | Was this translated completely? | Zech 12:10 | following him | 121867 | ||
I am doing a little research on this verse and need a little help from those who are fluent in Hebrew or can understand an interlinear Bible. I've looked in some on-line but it usually comes in garbled. This is the question. Are there any parts of this verse ie word or letter that is not translated directly into English. If there are what are they. I realise that in translating one word from another language may result in several in English and visa versus. But are there any in this verse that was not? | ||||||
