161 | 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 |

Dear Benjamite, ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION. Interpreted by premillennialists as the idolatrous image to be set up by the final Antichrist (the "beast," or "man of lawlessness" of 2 Thess 2:3-4) in the restored Temple at Jerusalem in the latter half of Daniel's seventieth week (Dan 9:27; 12:11). For the first part of the three and one-half days (years) of the prophetic week of years, the Antichrist keeps his covenant with the Jews. At the beginning of the last half of the week he breaks it (Zech 11:16-17), compelling the Jews to worship his image. This is "the abomination (idol) of the desolator" or "the idol that causes desolation" (cf. Dan 11:31; 12:11), inaugurating the period of "Jacob's trouble" (Jer 30:7), a time of terrible suffering to Palestinian Jews of the end time, of which our Lord spoke (Matt 24:15). In Dan 11:31 the reference is to the act of Antiochus Epiphanes, prototype of the final Antichrist, who, in June 168 BC desecrated the Temple at Jerusalem. He built an altar to Jupiter Olympus on the altar of burnt offering, dedicated the Temple to this heathen deity, and offered swine's flesh. Premillennialists maintain that neither Antiochus Epiphanes nor the Romans under Titus in A.D. 70 AD exhausted Daniel's prophecy, which still awaits fulfillment. Amillennial interpretation, however, sees a fulfillment in the advance of the Romans against Jerusalem in A.D. 70 AD with their image-crowned standards, which were regarded as idols by the Jews. (From The New Unger's Bible Dictionary. Originally published by Moody Press of Chicago, Illinois. Copyright (c) 1988.) ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION A despicable misuse of the Temple of the Lord during a time of great trouble-an event foretold by the prophet Daniel. The phrase is found in Matt 24:15 and Mark 13:14 as a quotation from Dan 11:31 and 12:11. In Daniel, the words mean "the abomination that makes desolate." In other words, Daniel prophesied that the Temple would be used for an "abominable" purpose at some time in the future. As a result, God's faithful people would no longer worship there-so great would be their moral revulsion, contempt, and abhorrence at the sacrilege-and the Temple would become "desolate." According to the verses in the gospels, a similar misuse of the Temple would take place in the future. This would show that a time of great trouble was coming on Judea. People should take warning and flee to the mountains (Matt 24:16; Mark 13:14). Some believe Daniel's prophecy was fulfilled about 165 BC when Antiochus IV (Epiphanes), Greek ruler of Syria, polluted the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem by sacrificing a pig on the holy altar. This sacrificing of an UNCLEAN pig was the worst kind of abomination that could have taken place. These people also believe the prophecy in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark was fulfilled when the Romans sacked the Jewish Temple about A.D. 70 AD. But others believe just as strongly that neither of these prophecies has yet been completely fulfilled. They insist that the abomination of desolation refers to the idolatrous image or the "man of sin" who will take over God's place in the Temple and make people bow down and worship him (2 Thess 2:3-4). According to this interpretation, this will be the final act of sacrilege that marks the beginning of the end time.

Dear Benjamite, Thank you again for your response. In the Bible we have many examples of things to come which happen in the past so that we are not left untold of what is to come or what has been. History repeats itself into existence of a future occurrence time and time again. So with this in mind, my question still stands, where are the people in Dan 11:32 in the NT? History leads us to believe the Macabbeans in that time as you have stated , but how about the future, which is what my question is focused on? What do you think? Bless you, Love Fountain |

165 | Should we Divorce? | Mal 2:16 | Love Fountain | 31123 | ||
Dear pricefhome, First of all please remember God is love. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (from New International Version) This is hard to understand and remember, especially when we consider the cards we have been dealt with in this life. You and your wife are met with some very challenging issues to say the least. You have brought up a few things in this thread such as two non believers growing apart because one turns to Christ and the other does not, the loss of a child and should we divorce. Your marriage is not one done in sin, nowhere in the Bible does it say you cannot live with a person before getting married, that is a tradition of men, besides I am sure you have a couple of beautiful children to which fact shows just how blessed you and your wife are. The hard part is realizing the blessing especially with the loss of a child. In the book of Job, Job had ten children taken from him but when he overcame they were all restored to him, if you haven't read Job please do. It appears that your wife somehow holds you or herself responsible for the loss of your son. Perhaps she doesn't know what happens when we pass on. Please read Ecc 12:7 to see that the spirit goes back to God and in 1Cor 15 we have two bodies a physical and spiritual. Upon the last breath in the physical body we transfer into the spiritual body and go back to God who made our souls. I personally believe that some souls are too special to stay in this age of evil that we live in today and that God takes them away from here so they do not have to suffer the evil. I believe from the bottom of my heart that you and your wife will see your baby again when you get into the uncorruptible spiritual body that we are to all wear. Anyway, you cannot and should not try to force your wife to go to church or to do anything she doesn't want to. There is a great deal more than you are able to share hear on the internet going on between you and your side is only half of the view so it really is not the best way to a solution. Anyone who claims anything above a sinner is one to observe with caution, especially one that says they have the gift of prophecy and tells you God never ordained your marriage, that is a load of mud for lack of better words and that person needs to get the mud out their own eye before helping anyone else. My parents divorced when I was ten and it was very difficult for me for years to follow, but how they ever thought they were compatible is beyond me, talk about two very different people. Because of the experience of my childhood I try extra hard in my marriage today to understand where my spouse is coming from and do my best to be there and understand and respect the space or companionship which is needed. This is not always easy and I have to put myself into the shoes of my spouse by being sensitive and inquiring of ways I can or cannot help. If you have sincerely grown apart beyond reconciliation then perhaps it may better for you two to move on. God does not intend us to be miserable in our lives nor should we be involved in things that make us sad constantly, but we should not give up either. Deut 24:1 24:1 "When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some uncleanness in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house, NKJV I hope this helps! Bless you, Love Fountain |

168 | Pls direct me to verses regarding REST | Matt 11:28 | Love Fountain | 41072 | ||
Dear JCLT, How about, Matt 11:28-30 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. KJV If you go to www.blueletterbible.org, there are search functions you can type the word "rest" into and get all the places in the Bible that the word rest is used or you can get a Concordance which will allow you to do the same thing manually. Bless you, Love Fountain Heb 4:8-12 8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

172 | Do we read the same Bible? | Mark 4:13 | Love Fountain | 39494 | ||
I have always understood and accepted a particular doctrine. Then I come in contact with many who believe things that I believe to be contrary to Scripture and the doctrines that I have accepted. Now I find myself getting very upset, to the point of being offended at the belief and interpretation of others regarding the Scripture. Am I found in the parable of the sower in the following, Mark 4:16-17 16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

173 | Do we read the same Bible? | Mark 4:13 | Love Fountain | 39501 | ||
Dear EdB, Yes! Thank you! You state,"People have got to start reading the Bible and stop listening to every wind of doctrine." A friend of mine brought up a very good point recently. He said,"people read every book cover to cover, beginning to end, chapter by chapter, every book except one.........the Bible." Is it not true, that the only book in the World that will help people, they choose not to read and if they do read they don't read it all the way through. Everyone's answers are awaiting them in the letter written to them from their Father. Remember how many time Jesus said,"haven't you read?" Bless you, Love Fountain Prov 8:32-35 32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. 33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. 34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. 35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

175 | 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 |

176 | 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 |

177 | satan allowed to blind minds? | Mark 4:15 | Love Fountain | 35218 | ||
Dear believer57, Thank you for your love! I do study, in depth and read the Bible almost everyday. You have taken this to many places in Scripture that I also find much hope and love within too. I agree satan was defeated at Calvary, but I do not believe we are done with him just yet because of all the hate and filth that we are surrounded by in this day in time. Every single day is yet filled by more tests that I am needing to overcome. Scripture says that God does not tempt so that leaves satan who is the daily tempter. One reason I have asked this question is because I think people in general totally underestimate the enemy we are up against. In Matt4 satan offered Jesus all the nations of this world, as if they are his to give. In 2Cor 4:4 satan is called the god of this world able to blind minds, as if he controls this world. He is also called the prince of the power of the air, air which is what you and I breathe. I do not believe satan is one to be feared, but one to be challenged with love, a love that he has forgotten, the love that allows even him to exist also. I always try to remember God is love and anything that is not love is not God. Knowing that God is love and anything that is not love is not God, has led me to a feeling of sickness within my heart and soul when I hear that unbelievers are going to hell. Scripture clearly states that satan has blinded minds and caused their unbelief(2Cor 4:4). Since God is love, please tell me where love is found in condemnation of an unbeliever, through the judgement of a believer towards anothers salvation. In other words, who are we to judge? Do we not spread fear and in turn push people away from the Church when we condemn others for their unbelief, instead of searching for the understanding of why they are allowed to have unbelief? Then you also have the true God that has blinded people in the following, Rom 11:7-11 7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 8(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompence unto them: 10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. 11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. KJV What do you think? Bless you, Love Fountain |

178 | what is the source | Mark 15:21 | Love Fountain | 41624 | ||
Dear dasev, I am not sure what prayon's source for this info is, but I found the following to support what prayon stated as follows, SIMON 5. "Simon of Cyrene." A Hellenistic Jew, born at Cyrene, on the N coast of Africa, who was present at Jerusalem at the time of the crucifixion of Jesus, either as an attendant at the feast (cf. Acts 2:10) or as one of the numerous settlers at Jerusalem from that place (6:9). Meeting the procession that conducted Jesus to Golgotha as he was returning from the country, he was pressed into service to bear the cross (Matt 27:32; Mark 15:21; Luke 23:26) when Jesus Himself was unable to bear it any longer. Mark describes him as the father of Alexander and Rufus, perhaps because this was the Rufus known to the Roman Christians (Rom 16:13), for whom he more specifically wrote. The Basilidian Gnostics believed that Simon suffered in the place of Jesus. (From The New Unger's Bible Dictionary. Originally published by Moody Press of Chicago, Illinois. Copyright (c) 1988.)

179 | If God gave us brains, why wouldn't he w | Mark 16:16 | Love Fountain | 40036 | ||
Dear RJ, You ask,"Why would He punish us ("be condemned") for not following the crowd (Christians) and thinking for ourselves?" I must say that I have never read in the Bible where it says you will be punished for thinking for yourself but I have read where thinking too highly of yourself or in other words being full of yourself can be seen as self conceit. Envy, whether of self or another, obscures everything around us. When one looks outward and focuses on others more than oneself what do you think will happen? Did you know the Bible calls the devil, the god of this world? In the following verse satan is being called the god of this world as follows, 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 The Greek word that is used for the word "blinded" in the above verse is tuphloo which is from tuphlos which is from tuphoo which means, NT:5187 tuphoo (toof-o'-o); from a derivative of NT:5188; to envelop with smoke, i.e. (figuratively) to inflate with self-conceit: KJV - high-minded, be lifted up with pride, be proud. By reading the words above we can come to the understanding that the devil is being allowed to blind us with our own self conceit. Why is this allowed? All understanding is in a letter written to you from your Father that created you it's called the Bible. Within the Bible there is a book called Romans. In the book of Romans in the eleventh chapter please read the following, Rom 11:25-32 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. 29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. KJV I have mercy for your unbelief within the faith and hope that one day you will seek the truth for yourself in the letter written to you from your Father. He always gives us a way out because He is forgiving, merciful and longsuffering towards the returning children who seek understanding and guidance according to His will. Be a follower of God and not men. There are no wrong questions if one searches for the truth with all their heart and soul. But if man chooses to listen to man instead of the One that created man then let it be known that man made his own choice and is responsible for his own shame. Bless you, Love Fountain 2 Thess 2:10-12 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Dear Ray, Excuse me for butting in. I am newer here and have spent most of the time reading and not writing, but this time I think I may be able to help. Please see Rev 11:11, where satan is referred to as the angel of the bottomless pit and then see Isa 14:12, where satan is referred to as lucifer, which means morning star and then see Job 38:7, where the morning stars sang together. This should help you with singing angels. Bless you, Love Fountain PS - Please consider as a suggestion, not capitalizing any name of satan or anything that has to do with him, I believe he does not deserve a capitalized recognition. What do you think? |
