2 | Again who are the dead in Rev 20:5 | Bible general Archive 1 | Thomass | 73421 | ||
Rev. 20:4 John stated that these martyred dead came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Their coming to life suggest that they will be given resurrected bodies. Rev. 20:5 John was also informed that the rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This refers to the resurrection of the wicked dead, discussed in vv 11-15. All the righteous, regardless of when they are raised, take part in the resurrection which is first or before the final resurrection (of the wicked dead)at the end of the Millennium, This supports the conclusion that the resurrection of the righteous is by stages. So the answer would be the wicked dead (those that are unsaved at the time of their death) their bodies will be joined with their spirits which have been in hades. They will be resecurrected for their judgment. |

4 | When was the sabbath law changed? | Bible general Archive 1 | Thomass | 73508 | ||
Exdous 20:8-11 The Fourth Commandment Keeping the Sabbath Day holy means to separate it, the seventh day, from the other six as a special day to the Lord. People are to work in six days and worship on the seventh. The basis for this commandment is God's creating the universe in six days and resting on the seventh (Gensis 2:2-3; Exdous 16:23). This was not to be a day of slothful inactivity but of spiritual service through religious observances. For the voliation of this command God imposed on Israel the death penalty (Exdous 31:15; Numbers 15:32-36). In the present Church Age the day of worship has been changed from Saturday to Sunday because of Jesus' resurrection the first day of the week (Acts 20:7; 1 Corth. 16:2). This is the only commandment that has changed from the Old Testament to the New Testament. |

5 | WHY WAS ESAU'S NAME CHANGED TO EDOM | Gen 36:1 | Thomass | 73224 | ||
I can't find anything in the bible that says Esau's name was changed to Edom, just that this is the account of Esau (that is, Edom). He lived in Edom is all I can gather. | ||||||
6 | Why could Moses not enter the tabernacle | Ex 40:35 | Thomass | 73407 | ||
The Holy of Most Holy Place within the tabernacle (where God resided)was forbidden to all but the priest, who had to go through the ceremony of being consecrated before they could even be allowed in. See Leviticus 8.Moses consecrated the tabernacle and everything in it by sprinkling them with the anointing oil. Moses also poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head to consecrate him. The purpose of these anointings was to set apart the tabernacle, the various furnishings, and the priest who ministered in the sanctuary as most holy to the Lord. I hope this answers the first part of your question. The second part, I think refers to the Holy Spirit, living within us, God's pleasure with us. | ||||||
7 | Where is the land of Moriah today? | 2 Kings | Thomass | 73234 | ||
Mount Moriah (pronounced in Hebrew as moe-ree-yaw) in Jerusalem, now popularly known as the Temple Mount, has been a focal point of Bible History right from very early times. It was the place where Abraham nearly sacrificed Isaac. It was the place where Solomon built the original Temple of God. It was the location of many of the events during the ministry of Jesus Christ, with the scene of His arrest on The Mount Of Olives on The Fateful Night just to the east, and His Crucifixion at Calvary just to the north. And there is much more set to happen there. Today, Mount Moriah is under Muslim control. The gold-topped Dome Of The Rock is the most famous present-day sight atop the Temple Mount, while Jews pray below at The Western Wall. |

8 | what ws the reply from god | Job | Thomass | 73228 | ||
Never once had Job's friends prayed for him. But now Job, whom they had condemned and badgered, was to intercede for them.They had defended God's justice in striking Job down, But now they saw that God is concerned with more than justice; He is also know for love and grace. Repentance, which they had recommended for Job, was now what they had to do. Job had wanted a mediator between himself and God, but ironically he himself became a mediator for his three friends.In the end God restored to Job twice the number of things that were taken from him. | ||||||
9 | Length of Job's Suffering | Job | Thomass | 73371 | ||
Following his terrible ordeal, Job lived 140 years. If he was about 70 when the calamities struck, he live to be about 210. According to Jewish tradition, his latter years (140) were exactly twice the number of his former ones (70). Job saw his descendants to the fourth generation. that is, he lived to see great-great-grandchildren. The scripture doesn't give an exact number of years that he suffered.See Job 42:16-17 | ||||||
10 | Why is there suffering? | Job | Thomass | 73374 | ||
Many individiuals can identify with Job, whose distresses were agonizingly prolonged and so seeminly unfair. Many people wonder why they should undergo affliction, why they should experience tragedy, heartache, and adversity. for anyone, suffering is hard to comprehend, but especially so when it strikes the undeserving, The Book of Job address the mystery of unmerited misery, showing that in adversity God may have other purposes besides retribution for wrong doing. You also have to ask the question: If I'm never put to the test, then how can I have a testimony? | ||||||
11 | Why did Job suffer? | Job | Thomass | 73375 | ||
Job was blameless and upright (not deviating from God's standards). Also he feared God (he revered and submitted to God's majesty) and he shunned evil. It just so happened that satan was roaming back and forth through the earth, looking for those whom he could accuse and dominate. The Lord spoke of Job by the honorable title my servant and referred to him as a supreme example of piety. "There is no one on earth like him". God pointed out that satan could not dominate Job. So satan responded by attacking Job's motives. Satan thought if Job were to lose his wealth and children that he would then curse God. So God allowed this to happen through his permissive will. When that didn't work, satan wanted to take Job's health from him. When it comes right down to it, there is nothing on earth that satan can do without the okay from God. So to answer your question: "It was a test to see if Job really loved and honored the Lord". As true Christians we will come across suffering in our lives, whether it be false persecution, health problems, etc., The devil only bothers those that live for the Lord and do his will here on earth. | ||||||
12 | Who was Elihu? | Job | Thomass | 73376 | ||
Elihu viewed himself as an equal with Job for both, he said, were created by God. Elihu said he was made by God (the Holy Spirit is involved in creating man) and given life by the breath of the Almighty (Job 33:1-4). And Elihu was not condemned by God in 42:7-8 along with Elihaz and his two companions probably because Elihu was closer to the truth than were the other three. The bible just mentions Elihu as a young by-stander, who had listen to Job and his friends (Job 32). | ||||||
13 | Why did Job love God? | Job | Thomass | 73392 | ||
Read the 9;12;19;23;26; and 42 chapters of Job, where he talks of declaration of God's greatness. In chapter 9,Job tells of God's awesome power and God's arbitrary power, In chapter 12, Job tells of God's wisdom and power. In chapter 19, Job speaks of the certainty of seeing God one day. In chapter 26, Job speaks of God's majesty in nature. And when you think about it, how can you not love one that has bought you into existence, has substained you through out, and gives you his added protection. God had watched over him and blessed him.(10:12) Also God guided him through the darkness of difficulties, befriended him, and was with him. Job's experience billboards the truth that man's worship of God does not stem from a businesslike contract, whereby he earns material rewards from God. Man's relationship to God is not a juridical arrangement in which He is obligated to reward man for every good act. Instead, man is to trust God, worship Him regardless of his circumstances, and rely on the perfections of His character even when God's ways are not fully understood. Job realized that God is incharge, that God still loves him and cares for him. Job did not receive explanations regarding his problems; but he did come to a much deeper sense of the majesty and loving care of God. He came to trust God more fully, knowing that His ways should not be challenged. Though often inexplicable and mysterious, God's plans are benevolent and beneficial. | ||||||

16 | Why was Satan allowed amon the sons of G | Job | Thomass | 73408 | ||
Because satan could not deny God's assesment of Job's godliness, he questioned why Job was pious(sincere; earnest; deeply religious). Satan suggested that Job was serving God not out of love but only because of what he got from God in return. If Job's rewards were removed, out would go his reverence. Satan's subtle suggestion that worship is basically selfish hits at the heart of man's relationship to God. The Book of Job does more than raise the queston of the suffering of the righteous. It also, through Satan's words, deals with the motives for godly living. Will anyone serve the Lord if he enjoys no personal gain from it? Satan suggested that if God removed His protecting hedge around Job and removed everything he owned, then Job would curse God. Job, in other words, was worshiping for selfish reasons. This accusation also attacked the integrity of God, for it suggested that the only way He can get people to worship Him is to promise them wealth. Perhaps this indictment against His character is one of the reasons God let Satan buffet Job. Surely God knew Job's heart, but He used Job as a demonstration to silence Satan. In addition God wanted to deepen Job's spiritual insight! | ||||||
17 | When was the book of Job written? | Job | Thomass | 73411 | ||
AUTHOR:No one knows who wrote the Book of Job, when it was written, when its events occured, or where Job lived. Suggestions on who may have authored the book include Job himself, Elihu (the fourth friend, who spoke toward the end of the book, chaps.32-37), Moses, Solomon, Hezekiah, Isaiah, someone after the Babylonian Exile such as Ezra, and an anonymous author 200 years before Christ. Jewish tradition says that Moses wrote the book. Others argue for Solomon as the author because of his interest in poetic literature (Prov., Ecc., and Song of Solomon) and a few similarites between Job and Proverbs (e.g., Prov. 8 and Job 28) The details of the lengthy converstions recorded in the Book of Job give the impression that it was written by an eyewitness. In Old Testament times a person sometimes recorded events about himself in the third person. Some scholars suggest that the Book of Job was complied over many years by several authors and editors, each of whom added small portions to the inital work. However, numerous features point to a single author and many cross references within the book point to its unity. DATE:Views on the time when Job lived range all the way from the Patriarchal Age (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob-approximately 2100 to 1900 B.C.) the the sixth century B.C. |

19 | Why was Satan allowed amon the sons of G | Job | Thomass | 73414 | ||
Jesus entered heaven when he rose from the dead.To answer your second question: While the concept of Satan in heaven is difficult to comprehend, it is clear that he is now the accuser of saints. Though satan was defeated at the first coming of Christ (John 16:11). his execution was delayed and is in stages. Here it states that he will be cast out of heaven in the middle of the Tribulation. Later he will be bound for the duration of the millennial kingdom. The devil will be final thrown into the lake of burning sulfur (20:10) where the world ruler (Antichrist) and the false prophet will have been cast a thousand years earlier. | ||||||
20 | is it acceptable to make demands of god? | Job | Thomass | 73417 | ||
Job's experience demonstrates that a believer, while undergoing intense agony, need not denounce God. Question Him, yes; but not deny Him.The Book of Job also teaches that to ask why, as Job did (3:11-12, 16, 20), is not wrong. But to demand that God answer why, as Job also did (13:22; 19:7; 31:15), is wrong. To insist that God explain one's adversitites is inappropriate for it places man above God and challenges God's sovereignty. So my answer would be NO!! | ||||||
