162 | Rev. 19:10 - "spirit of prophecy"? | Rev 19:10 | prazn | 85690 | ||
Sarah, The verse that you referenced refers to the apostle John and the angel who revealed the prophecy to him. Rev 1:1-3 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must shortly take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. 3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near. NAS The following is from Barnes' Notes, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1997: Rev 19:10 [For the testimony of Jesus] The meaning here seems to be, that this angel, and John, and their fellow-servants, were all engaged in the same work that of bearing their testimony to Jesus. Thus, in this respect, they were on a level, and one of them should not worship another, but all should unite in the common worship of God. No one in this work, though an angel, could have such a pre-eminence that it would be proper to render the homage to him which was due to God alone. There could be but one being whom it was proper to worship, and they who were engaged in simply bearing testimony to the work of the Saviour should not worship one another. [Is the spirit of prophecy] The design of prophecy is to bear testimony to Jesus. The language does not mean, of course, that this is the only design of prophecy, but that this is its great and ultimate end. The word "prophecy" here seems to be used in the large sense in which it is often employed in the New Testament-meaning to make known the divine will (see the notes on Rom 12:6), and the primary reference here would seem to be to the preachers and teachers of the New Testament. The sense is, that their grand business is to bear testimony to the Saviour. They are all-whether angels, apostles, or ordinary teachers-appointed for this, and therefore should regard themselves as "fellow-servants." The design of the angel in this seems to have been, to state to John what was his own specific business in the communications which he made, and then to state a universal truth applicable to all ministers of the gospel, that they were engaged in the same work, and that no one of them should claim adoration from others. Thus understood, this passage has no direct reference to the prophecies of the Old Testament, and teaches nothing in regard to their design, though it is in fact undoubtedly true that their grand and leading object was to bear testimony to the future Messiah. But this passage will not justify the attempt so often made to "find Christ" everywhere in the prophecies of the Old Testament, or justify the many forced and unnatural interpretations by which the prophecies are often applied to him. |

163 | Why is the devil released after 1,000 yr | Rev 20:8 | prazn | 121992 | ||
Scripture states that the devil will be released, after the millenial reign of the Lord Jesus Christ, to deceive the nations and to gather them to wage war against the inhabitants of Jerusalem (Zech 12:9). In this final conflict, which is prophesied to take place in the valley of Megiddo (Zech 12:11), the devil is at last cast into the lake of fire and those who remain on earth will worship the King of Kings, our Lord Jesus Christ! Glory to God in the Highest! Amen! and, Amen! prazn |

164 | Release and Faith Question | Rev 22:18 | prazn | 91526 | ||
Hi RadioMan, What follows are a few scriptures which, I believe, support the Word of Faith teachings. Perhaps they will give us all a little more to ponder: Mark 11:22-24 And Jesus *answered saying to them, "Have faith in God. "Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. "Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. Matt 17:15-20 "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic and is very ill; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. "I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him." And Jesus answered and said, "You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me." And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured at once. Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not drive it out?" And He *said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. John 15:7 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you." 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. Matt 15:28 Then Jesus said to her, "O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed at once. Matt 18:19 "Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. Blessings! prazn |
