Greetings Val! You write "Dear Makarios, Regarding the Day of the Lord. It is a period of time not just one day." I am assuming that your eschatological point of view is different from mine. Concerning the Day of the Lord, if you read Zephaniah 1:14-18, the word "day" is mentioned 10 times. In the New Testament, if you read 2 Peter 3:4-7,9,10,12 the text mentions "looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God..". Moreover, 2 Peter 3:7 mentions "kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men". In fact, the very event of the Day of the Lord is always described as a "day." I am straining to find any scriptural evidence to suggest that the Day of the Lord is describing a period of time rather than a single day. Even if such a referent could be found, there are many more citations in Scripture where this time is described as a day event rather than a period event. Therefore, it is Scripturally sound to interpret the Day of the Lord as a literal 'day' event rather than a period event. Blessings to you, Makarios |

102 | Perseverance and the word given here? | Rom 15:5 | Makarios | 216459 | ||
Greetings Tim! Your comments are very helpful! The ESV states: "May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus" which is perhaps a little closer than the NIV in equivalency. Here are a few observations of mine: The NKJV says "God of patience and comfort" in Romans 15:5, repeating both 'patience and comfort' from the previous verse, Romans 15:4, when the same virtues are applied to Scripture. The MacArthur Study Bible has the following note: "15:5 to be like-minded toward one another. Paul urges the strong and the weak (see notes on 14:1-12), despite their differing views on these non-essential issues, to pursue loving, spiritual harmony in regard to matters on which the Bible is silent." (1) Perhaps thoughtful consideration of other people's views finds expression here. I don't believe that this verse necessarily supports the 'agree to disagree' notion, particularly among believers, but that believers should have patience with those who are perhaps 'weaker.'

Greetings Cmfrantz, I have noticed that you are a new user at this Forum and I welcome you! I invite you to perhaps give a little bit of information about your background in your User Profile. You reply: "In regards to Romans 5:9--The wrath would be the Bowls, wouldnt it? If the last trumpet is the 7th trumpet then we would be raptured before the bowls start. The bowls being Gods wrath. The seals, trumpets, and the bowls are all taking place in the sevenieth week. This week being the tribulation. I am only stating with how I am understanding it thus far. I am open to listen to other theorys." I appreciate your openness and receptivity on this issue! Romans 5:9 "Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." (KJV) If we examine Romans 5:9 in its proper context, the 'saving from wrath' is the saving from eternal wrath (John 3:36) because the Son has justified us. Within the context, Romans 5:9 does not have anything to do with the Tribulation or persecution in general. I personally do not believe in a Pretribulationist point of view, but this verse (Romans 5:9) is cited frequently by those who do believe in the Pretribulationist point of view. According to my point of view (Pre-Wrath), the rapture of the saints initiates God's wrath, which happens on the very same day (Luke 17:22, 26-30) "but on that day.." (Luke 17:29-30) of the beginning of God's wrath. Therefore, if the rapture of the saints and the Day of the Lord happen on the same day, then the timing of the rapture is significantly narrowed because of the fact that it would be tied to the timing of the Day of the Lord. I agree with you when you say that God's people will be raptured before the seven bowl judgments start, which is God's wrath on the unrepentant: "Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts." (Rev. 9:21, KJV) It is a shame that the church is so focused on the timing of the rapture instead of on the condition of our hearts at the timing of Christ's return. If there is one thing that I can say for Pretribulationism, it stresses the immediacy for repentance: "I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8) Blessings to you, Makarios |

104 | Pursuit of the Prize | Acts 20:24 | Makarios | 216197 | ||
Hi Doc, This quote reminds me of Philippians 3:12-16: "Phil 3:12 ¶ Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Phil 3:13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, Phil 3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Phil 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you; Phil 3:16 however, let us keep living by that same standard to which we have attained." Jonathan Edwards was part of "The Great Awakening" (1734-1743) period of time in the American Colonies, along with George Whitefield and William Tennent, that began as a series of isolated spiritual revivals in the Connecticut Valley. But this revival quickly spread through the colonies, causing a renewed spiritual fervor even through the 1740s. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Excellent quote! A couple of verses come to mind: Acts 4:12 "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (ESV) John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (ESV) --Makarios |

Greetings Ptr, You are welcome! Praise the Lord that we can come together and study scripture on a medium such as this Bible Forum. Here are some more interesting resources that I have found concerning the Trinity and the distinction between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: http://www.comereason.org/cmp_rlgn/cmp021.asp http://www.carm.org/religious-movements/oneness-pentecostal/debate-topic-trinity-doctrine-biblical http://www.biblicist.org/systematic/15.htm http://www.gotquestions.org/oneness-Jesus-only.html http://www.bible-knowledge.com/Trinity-God-Jesus-Holy-Spirit.html Blessings to you, Makarios |

Greetings Ptr, Here is a list of Scriptures that better explain the Trinity.. Matt. 3:16; Matt. 28:19; Luke 3:22; John 3:34-35; John 14:16-17; John 14:26; John 15:26; John 16:7; John 16:13-15; Acts 1:2; Acts 1:4-5; Acts 2:33; Acts 10:36-38; Romans 1:3-4; Romans 8:9-11; Romans 8:26-27; 1 Cor. 12:3-6; 2 Cor. 1:21-22; 2 Cor. 5:5; 2 Cor. 13:14; Galatians 4:4,6; 2 Thess. 2:13-14; 2 Thess. 2:16; 1 Tim. 3:16; Titus 3:4-6; Hebrews 9:14; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 Peter 3:18; 1 John 5:6-7 The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are portrayed together in scripture: 2 Cor. 13:14, Matt. 28:19. The Father 'sent' the Son (John 3:17). The Father and Son 'love' each other (John 14:31). The Father 'speaks' to the Son, and the Son 'speaks' to the Father (John 11:41,42). The Holy Spirit 'comes upon' Jesus at baptism (Matt. 3). Jesus and the Father are viewed as having 'sent' the Holy Spirit (John 15:26). Clearly, these passages point out a distinction of three distinct Persons who are in interaction with each other. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Greetings Vintage68, I am reading Matthew 21 (Jesus coming to Jerusalem) alongside Ezekiel 8-11 (how the Glory of the Lord left the Temple) and how unrepentant, idolatrous Israel drove the Glory of the Lord away. This unrepentant attitude would cause the King of Kings and Lord of Lords to clear the Temple many years later, when they were still found not to be ready. I believe that Jesus already knew what He was going to find, but that still does not stop Him from reacting emotionally to the spiritual state of Israel. Blessings to you, Makarios |

119 | Why did Moses' send his wife to Midian | Ex 4:25 | Makarios | 210803 | ||
Greetings Senicienta, Welcome to the StudyBibleForum.com! Keliey gave a good answer, but let's expound upon that a little bit. You specifically asked about the wife of Moses and why she is present with Moses in Exodus 4:25-26 but is seen travelling to Moses (with her father, Jethro) in Exodus 18:2-6. Later, Miriam and Aaron have a fight with Moses about his wife because she is a "Cushite" woman (Numbers 12:1). Moreover, King Solomon refers to the Israelite bondage in Egypt as being in "the midst of the iron furnace" (1 Kings 8:51). Therefore, Scripture tells us several things: 1) Zipporah was the wife of Moses (Ex. 2:16-22) 2) Zipporah was with Moses on the way to Egypt (Exodus 4:24-26) 3) Moses sent her back to Jethro at some point (Exodus 18:2) 4) The Israelite bondage in Egypt is compared to being in "the midst of the iron furnace" (1 Kings 8:51) 4) Zipporah, along with her father Jethro and their two sons, returned to Moses (Exodus 18:1-6) 5) Miriam and Aaron upbraid Moses concerning his wife, calling her a "Cushite" woman (Numbers 12:1) Just these facts alone pointed out by Scripture help to understand the situation and possible reasons as to why Moses sent her back to Jethro. I personally find it interesting that there is no further mention of Zipporah (until Exodus 18) immediately after Moses met with Aaron in the wilderness (Exodus 4:27). Hows that for pointing out what the Bible says without introducing not so much as a single ounce of speculation? :) Blessings to you, Makarios (Nolan Keck) |

Greetings Keliy, I have been around at this Forum since April of 2001 and I have read a lot of weird, strange out in left field answers, questions and things in between. In fact, I have been considered by several long standing members of this Forum (and some who choose not to be here any longer) to be one of the original "pioneers" here. I was the first 'poster' here to 1,100 posts. I was the first 'poster' here to 5,000 posts. Then Searcher56 passed me in posts and has led ever since. What you wrote in your "Answer" post to this question in this thread does, by no means, compare to some of the less than stellar answers I have seen at this Forum, and you are owed as much grace as the rest of us. I write this note to you for encouragement - I read and greatly appreciated the spirit and intention in which you have answered this question! I believe that it is a bit unwarranted and unwise for some here to crack down on you without a dose of mercy. Perhaps some people only consider 'cracking down' on you if you've only been here a short while. Keep up the good work, but remember to back up your answers with as much Scripture as possible! :) Your brother in Christ, Nolan |
