142 | Where are the people of Dan 11:32 in NT? | Dan 11:32 | Love Fountain | 35207 | ||
Dear believer57, You say,"How do we know that in v. 21 it is the antichrist who is called a "vile person" (KJV) or "despicable person" (NASB)?" Regarding the "vile person", the prophecy concerning him continues to the end of the chapter. It is parallel with Dan 7:8, 8:9, and 9:26,27. He is not another successional king of the north, but a totally different and unique personage, still future. He comes in by flatteries and is attacked by both a king of the north and king of the south in verse 40. In Matt 24 we are told of the end of the world and what will be the signs. Antiochus is not the abomination of desolation at the end of the world. Matt 24:3 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? KJV Matt 24:15 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) KJV Dan 12:11 11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. KJV Dan 11:31 31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. KJV I don't see a difference in the abomination that maketh desolate in Matt 24, Dan 12 or Dan 11, are they not all the antichrist in referrence to the end of the world? Also, is the taking away of the daily sacrifice in Dan 11:31 and Dan 12:11 different or how is there a difference in Dan 9:27? In Dan 8:12 we also find referrence to the daily sacrifice which belongs also to the time of the end and was not fulfilled by Antiochus. The career of Antiochus was only a foreshadowing of the fulfillment to come by him who is known as the "little horn". Bless you, Love Fountain |

143 | satan allowed to blind minds? | Mark 4:15 | Love Fountain | 35198 | ||
Dear believer57, Thanks for your response. You said,"Belief is a matter of choice." How can that be if satan is allowed to blind minds? I agree with many of your points, however I do not agree with you when you say salvation is not available to unbelievers. Why are they unbelievers, is the first point that I was trying to make with reference to Mark 4:15. An unbeliever or a believer for that matter may hear the truth, but as soon as either one hears the truth, satan comes and takes the truth from out of their minds. Just because I am a believer does not mean I know or have the truth, does it? In 2Cor 4:4 satan is without a doubt called the god of this world and is stated as being able to blind the minds of them which believe not. It does not differentiate whether the referrence is to unbelievers or believers, just those that believe not. And keep in mind when they have heard the truth as stated in Mark 4:15 that satan comes and takes away the word that is sowed in them. An example would be a recent debate I was in regarding Gen 6 and whether the sons of God are angels or men. Both sides in the debate are believers, yet the truth of whether the sons of God are angels or men is being held in darkness by satan according to Mark 4:15(the truth is taken away) and 2Cor 4:4( the god of this world has blinded their eyes from the truth). One side has the truth and one side believes a lie, and yes there is a possibility that both are wrong, yet both sides are believers and yet it is obvious the truth has been taken away or blinded from their understanding. One of the sides debating the sons of God as angels or men is in unbelief of what the other believes, is it not satan, with 2Cor 4:4 and Mark 4:15 in mind, that is causing the unbelief? Another example can be about a believer who went to church all the time and then something terrible happens to them. The terrible thing that happens to them is caused by satan and causes them to no longer maintain their belief. If what you have said, unbelievers have no salvation, is true, then God would not allow this unbeliever who was blinded by satan to have salvation because the unbeliever who was once a believer was blinded by satan and therefore lost his or her salvation. Is this what you are stating when you say unbelievers have no salvation? How are you sure of the source of a persons unbelief? With all this in mind, my question is, how can we judge whether an unbeliever has salvation if the unbeliever is allowed to be deceived? I am interested in your thoughts. Bless you, Love Fountain |

144 | Where are the people of Dan 11:32 in NT? | Dan 11:32 | Love Fountain | 35176 | ||
Dear Benjamite, Thanks for your response. When you say,"11:36 then begins the description of the Antichrist's career." This is still future from OUR standpoint (as the rest of it was also future from Daniel's), this belief is confusing to me. For one reason is Dan 11:21 - Dan 12:3 is what I believed to be future for "us". Please read in verse 21 that the antichrist is called "a vile person" in the KJV, which is one of twelve titles given to the antichrist. Who else could this be? I also would like to know which two commentaries I can read that say future is from Dan 11:36 on and that Dan 11:21 - 35 are past. Many scholars believe that in Dan 11:31, "take away the daily sacrifice", marks the middle of the "week" or the last seven years. Many believe from this point the antichrist is energized by satan. My question still stands, who are the people from Dan 11:32 who know their God and do exploits and where are they in the New Testament with reference to the end time? Bless you, Love Fountain |

Dear Benjamite, According to the commentaries then are you saying that the book of Daniel is history and not prophetic, in relations to the end time? Bless you, Love Fountain |

146 | Where are the people of Dan 11:32 in NT? | Dan 11:32 | Love Fountain | 35121 | ||
Dan 11:32-36 32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. 36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. KJV The people that do know there God who will be strong and do exploits and "they that understand among the people shall instruct many" in the book of Daniel are who in the New Testament? Since this is about a future time when antichrist shall stand up, who are these people that know their God and what is it they understand which they will need to instruct many? Bless you for your thoughts, Love Fountain |

147 | satan allowed to blind minds? | Mark 4:15 | Love Fountain | 35111 | ||
In Mark 4:15 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. KJV Is there a similarity between Mark 4:15 and 2Cor 4:4, where satan is called the god of this world, and is being described as the one who is blinding the minds of people? 2 Cor 4:4 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. KJV So knowing that satan has the power to blind the minds of people of this world and take away the truth that one may have heard, how can anyone judge whether or not an unbeliever has salvation, if the unbeliever is being allowed to be deceived? Is there also a lesson of mercy, through forgiveness of unbelief? Bless you for your thoughts, Love Fountain |

148 | Can angels have human babies? | Gen 6:4 | Love Fountain | 35096 | ||
Dear Discipled, This thread of whether the sons of God are angels or they are the sons of men is very interesting and as I have heard you say, provocative. Recently I have found myself in Genesis and was reading about Lot in Gen 19:1, when two angels came upon him in the gate to the city. The thought I have been having lately, and I would appreciate your insight, is the fact that Lot sees the two angels as angels and further on in the Text of the same chapter, within context, the men of Sodom told Lot to give them the men which came unto him. What do you think about Lot seeing the visitors as angels and everyone else(men of the city) as just men? Any thoughts? Bless you, Love Fountain |

149 | why did jesus come | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 35091 | ||
Dear Shirl, While the others have given you good answers, another answer to why is found in the following verses, Heb 2:14-18 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. KJV A father would never ask his children to do something he would not do himself. Our Father is no different, just as His children wear the flesh so did He. He was not tempted, and lives by every word that proceeds from His mouth and so should we also live by His Words of mercy and love. Thank you Jesus! Bless you, Love Fountain |

152 | Rev 3:16 lukewarm | Rev 3:16 | Love Fountain | 34771 | ||
Dear Zach, Commentaries............ Rev 3:14-22 The last letter is to Laodicea, which receives no commendation. The unfavorable condition in this church was lukewarmness: the members were neither cold nor hot (v. 15). The lukewarm person does not become greatly disturbed at hearing heretical teaching, and is not vigorous in the defense of the truth. This spirit of indifference is the most tragic thing that can happen to a church. The close of this letter is different from the conclusions of the other six in that it makes an application to the individual: If any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, etc. (v. 20). (from The Wycliffe Bible Commentary, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1962 by Moody Press) Rev 3:15 [I would thou wert cold or hot] That is, I would prefer either of those states to what now exists. Anything better than this condition, where love is professed, but where it does not exist; where vows have been assumed which are not fulfilled. Why he would prefer that they should be "hot" is clear enough; but why would he prefer a state of utter coldness-a state where there was no profession of real love? To this question the following answers may be given: (1) Such a state of open and professed coldness or indifference is more honest. There is no disguise; no concealment; no pretence. We know where one in this state "may be found"; we know with whom we are dealing; we know what to expect. Sad as the state is, it is at least honest; and we are so made that we all prefer such a character to one where professions are made which are never to be realized-to a state of insincerity and hypocrisy. (2) Such a state is more honorable. It is a more elevated condition of mind, and marks a higher character. Of a man who is false to his engagements, who makes professions and promises never to be realized, we can make nothing. There is essential meanness in such a character, and there is nothing in it which we can respect. But in the character of the man who is openly and avowedly opposed to anything; who takes his stand, and is earnest and zealous in his course, though it be wrong, there are traits which may be, under a better direction, elements of true greatness and magnanimity.

153 | Rev 3:16 lukewarm | Rev 3:16 | Love Fountain | 34768 | ||
Dear Zach, Thank you for the question. The point of view I am allowed to have when thinking of "lukewarm" within the church of Laodicea is that the type of people we may find in attendance would be sitting on the fence, not making the choice, or choosing not to get involved. Without love of the truth, or without conscience to oppose the deceptions which we are taught throughout Scripture. The greatest gift, someone must agree, is the freewill we have all been given, to express and share in meekness and love, the opportunity to communicate a point of view. Bless you, Love Fountain |

Dear Jesusman, You said,"As for Genesis 4:26, and the "proclaim" meaning "profain". I haven't been able to find any support for that. Enos. (Genesis 4:26.) "Calling on the Name of the Lord. This Is Appendix 21 From The Companion Bible. "Then began men to call upon the name of Jehovah." If this refers to Divine worship it is not true: for Abel and Cain both began, and their descendants doubtless followed their example. What was really begun was the profanation of the Name of Jehovah. They began to call something by the Name of Jehovah. The Authorized Version suggests "themselves", in the margin. But the majority of the ancient Jewish commentators supply the Ellipsis by the words "their gods"; suggesting that they called the stars and idols their gods, and worshipped them. The Targum of Onkelos explains it: "then in his days the sons of men desisted from praying in the Name of the Lord." The Targum of Jonathan says: "That was the generation in whose days they began to err, and to make themselves idols, and surnamed their idols by the Name of the Word of the Lord." Kimchi, Rashi, and other ancient Jewish commentators agree with this. Rashi says: "Then was there profanation in calling on the Name of the Lord." Jerome says that this was the opinion of many Jews in his days. Maimonides, in his Commentary on the Mishna (a constituent part of the Talmud), A.D. 1168, in a long treatise on idolatry, gives the most probable account of the origin of idolatry in the days of Enos. The name Enos agrees with this; for his name means frail, weak, sickly, incurable. The sons of men, as "Enosh", are so called for a similar reason (Job 7:17; 15:14. Psalm 9:20; 103:15. Daniel 2:43). (See Appendix 14) If Jonathan, the grandson of Moses, became the first idolatrous priest in Israel (see notes on Judges 18:30), what wonder that Enos, the grandson of Adam, introduced idolatry among mankind. Moreover, what "ungodliness" did Enoch, "the seventh from Adam" have to prophesy about in Jude 14, 15, if purity of worship was begun in the days of Enos, instead of profanation in calling on the Name of the Lord? Surely this is sufficient evidence that this profanation of the Name of the Lord was the reason why Enoch was raised up to prophesy against it. I hope this is the support you were looking for. Bless you, Love Fountain |

Dear Tim, Thanks for your inquiry. When I said,"being led astray into satan's hands", the intent of this comment was in the context of all deception, not solely directed at Gen 6, sorry if I was not clear. I was trying to make a point that we need to "debate" preferrably according to the rules, to weed out the truth from the lies and Mr. Brown appeared to have no inclination to fight for the Truth, so I am hoping to have a better understanding of what he was trying to say. I have stated in this thread some things I believe regarding the fallen angels, but I don't think it was taken seriously. In Matt 24 Jesus tells us to watch the signs leading up to the end and one of the signs he says we will see is that there will be marrying and giving in marriage like in the days of Noah. Many believe this is merely in reference to men, which is true if you believe the sons of God were men in Gen 6. If you believe the sons of God were angels then Matt 24 would be saying the angels are going to be back doing the same things they did in the time of Noah. You laughed at what I said in referece to Rev 9, but I was serious. I don't think we have seen the last of them. If we had seen the last of them, why the book of Jude? And why in 1Cor 11 does the Bible teach, spiritually,that men are not to have a false spiritual veil(long hair) and women are not to remove their spiritual veil(long hair) because of the angels? The answer to "because of the angels", I feel lies within Rev 9. Articulation is not one of my strengths, thanks for your patience and questions. Bless you, Love Fountain |

Dear Tim, Thanks for your response. It is interesting that the phrases are the exact same yet one say sons and the other says angels. You recently helped me with a definite article, based on the rules of grammar in regard to a definite article should not these phrases be consistent and say the same thing in the translation according to the rules since both are preceeded with a definite article? Also, do you know where I can read the Septuagint in English online? I have found it in Greek, but it is all Greek to me! Bless you, Love Fountain |
