1063 | being/knowing you are beautiful | Esth 2:7 | Val | 192768 | ||
(There is an account of a beautiful woman called Esther. She used her beauty to save an entire nation. It is a very beautiful story- like a short story-perhaps you might gain some insight from it) Esth 2:7 He was bringing up Hadassah, that is Esther, his uncle's daughter, for she had no father or mother. Now the young lady was beautiful of form and face, and when her father and her mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter. Esth 2:17 The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she found favor and kindness with him more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. Esth 4:13 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, "Do not imagine that you in the king's palace can escape any more than all the Jews. Esth 4:14 "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?" Esth 4:15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, Esth 4:16 "Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens also will fast in the same way. And thus I will go in to the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish." |

1065 | what does jeremiah 51:20-22 mean | Matt 8:8 | Val | 192758 | ||
(This is from the Amplified Version) Jer 51:20 You [Cyrus of Persia, soon to conquer Babylon] are My battle-ax or maul and weapon of war--for with you I break nations in pieces, with you I destroy kingdoms, This Chapter 51 talks about the end of Bablylon's reign. They were the world rulers at that time. The Lord ended their rule and the Medes and Persians were given the earthly kingdom. An overview of the earth's kingdoms are covered in the Book of Daniel. Jeremiah was the prophet during the time of the Bablyon takeover of his country. He wrote Jeremiah and Lamentations. |

(The centurion humbled himself before the Lord and made his request in verse 8) Matt 8:9 "For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does it." (The centurion recognized the Lord's authority over disease) Matt 8:10 Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, "Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel. Matt 8:13 And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed that very moment. |

(The blessing spoken of is the Messiah) Gal 3:9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer. (Paul talks about this in Galatians) (Matthew Chapter One gives the line of the Messiah) Matt 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations. Matt 1:16 Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah. |

(These verses address that topic:) Num 35:30 'If anyone kills a person, the murderer shall be put to death at the evidence of witnesses, but no person shall be put to death on the testimony of one witness. 2 Deut 17:6 "On the evidence of two witnesses or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death; he shall not be put to death on the evidence of one witness. 3 Deut 17:7 "The hand of the witnesses shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall purge the evil from your midst. 4 Deut 19:15 "A single witness shall not rise up against a man on account of any iniquity or any sin which he has committed; on the evidence of two or three witnesses a matter shall be confirmed. (In our day with the technology of DNA and fingerprints, etc. that is even better than eye witness testimony-something to consider) (A word study on Justice and Lawlessness, the poor and the widow also sheds light on what the Lord requires of us) |

(The book of Daniel talks about the Lord and His dealings with the kings of the nations) Dan 4:35 "All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, But He does according to His will in the host of heaven And among the inhabitants of earth; And no one can ward off His hand Or say to Him, 'What have You done?' (In this verses it says that the Lord is the one who removes kings and establishes them) Dan 2:21 "It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men And knowledge to men of understanding. (The account of Nebuchadnezzar - the most powerful earthly ruler at one time shows how the Lord dealt with him) Dan 4:34 "But at the end of that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever; For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom endures from generation to generation.

1070 | Explain Ephesians 3:5-6? | Eph 3:6 | Val | 192735 | ||
(The mystery of Christ was not revealed to the nation of Israel - God's people until Christ came. Paul was the one chosen to explain this mystery - Jews and Gentiles in one body - the church.) Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. (The first gentile believer was Cornelius in Acts Chapter 10) - Acts 10:22 They said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man well spoken of by the entire nation of the Jews, was divinely directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and hear a message from you." (Peter was sent to preach the gospel to Cornelius and Cornelius and his household received Christ. Peter explained this to his brethren in Acts 15) Acts 15:7 After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe (Paul talks about this in Galatians) Gal 2:7 But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised Gal 2:8 for He who effectually worked for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles, (In the old testament any people who wanted to follow Jehovah God were extended that opportunity: see Ruth and Rahab who were included in the Lord's geneology) Matt 1:5 Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse. Ruth 1:16 But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. Heb 11:31 By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace. James 2:25 In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? |

1071 | Holy Spirit here during tribulation? | 2 Thess 2:7 | Val | 192729 | ||
Since one way the Holy Spirit works is through God's people who have placed their faith and trust in Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit seals them placing them in the body of Christ, then it appears in this verse that those believers have left and their influence for good is gone, giving lawlessness free reign to a degree allowed by the Lord. Eph 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 18 Eph 4:30 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. |

1072 | Is killing scriptual in theNEW TESTAMENT | Matt 5:44 | Val | 192624 | ||
Eccl 3:1 There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven-- Eccl 3:2 A time to give birth and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. Eccl 3:3 A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up. Eccl 3:4 A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance. Eccl 3:5 A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing. Eccl 3:6 A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away. Eccl 3:7 A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; A time to be silent and a time to speak. Eccl 3:8 A time to love and a time to hate; A time for war and a time for peace. Eccl 3:16 Furthermore, I have seen under the sun that in the place of justice there is wickedness and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness. Eccl 3:17 I said to myself, "God will judge both the righteous man and the wicked man," for a time for every matter and for every deed is there. Dan 11:44 "But rumors from the East and from the North will disturb him, and he will go forth with great wrath to destroy and annihilate many. 2 Matt 24:6 "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. 3 Mark 13:7 "When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end. Commentary: Of course there is killing in time of war and the Lord talked about war saying it would take place. We are to love our enemies by praying that they become followers of Him then they are no longer enemies when they become followers of the Lord. |

1073 | was King Saul saved | Rom 10:9 | Val | 192594 | ||
Gal 3:1 You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? Gal 3:2 This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? Gal 3:3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Gal 3:4 Did you suffer so many things in vain--if indeed it was in vain? Gal 3:5 So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? Gal 3:6 Even so Abraham BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Gal 3:7 Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham. Gal 3:8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU." Gal 3:9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer. Commentary: The old testament peoples looked forward to the coming of the Messiah. You and I look back at the time the Messiah came. All are saved the same way by putting their faith and trust in God and His Messiah as is stated in verse six. |

1074 | how tall are angels | Bible general Archive 3 | Val | 192261 | ||
2 Kin 19:35 Then it happened that night that the angel of the LORD went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men rose early in the morning, behold, all of them were dead. 2 Is 37:36 Then the angel of the LORD went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, all of these were dead. These verses show that one angel killed 185,000. This shows the power of one angel. |

Gen 9:8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, Gen 9:9 "Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you; (All mankind came from Noah) Gen 9:10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth. Gen 9:11 "I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth." (never again) Gen 9:12 God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations; (this is the time frame which answers the question how long) Gen 9:13 I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. Gen 9:14 "It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, Gen 9:15 and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. (never again is another timeframe answering when) Gen 9:16 "When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth." (the words everlasting is a time frame that answers the question how long) Gen 9:17 And God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth." (answers who the covenant is with) At this point in my journey I would say yes we are still under the Noahic covenant. |

1076 | Psalm 20:1-4 | Bible general Archive 3 | Val | 192124 | ||
Ps 20:1 May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble! (Notice in Psalms 19:14 he asks that his thoughts be acceptable to the Lord his Redeemer-he seems to be repenting of his own sins) then in 20:1 he begins to pray for others that they will call on the Lord and receive help from Him when troubles comes their way) May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high! (He is speaking of the God of Israel who was called Jacob before God changed his name) Ps 20:2 May He send you help from the sanctuary And support you from Zion! (He seems to be speaking of heaven - see verse 6) Ps 20:3 May He remember all your meal offerings And find your burnt offering acceptable!(He seems to be speaking to Israel because they received the covenants and the laws) Selah. Ps 20:4 May He grant you your heart's desire And fulfill all your counsel! (He seems to be saying he hopes they get what they deeply desire) I hope this helps. |

As I illustrated in the Corinthians passage - all will be judged - with a result being reward or suffer loss. So I guess my answer at this point in my journey is yes he seems to be speaking to all who hold the position of teacher and that would be supported by the Corinthians passage. Thank you for your patience. | ||||||
