1721 | Jesus Created or Creator??? | Rev 3:14 | CDBJ | 96245 | ||
I concur and have been a taper for about 26 years now! About the only thing that I don’t see eye to eye on with him is his eschatology. CDBJ |

1722 | Jesus Created or Creator??? | Rev 3:14 | CDBJ | 96277 | ||
I have heard that he has slowed down to a few days a week and that his son Bobby is filling in for him on the other days! He has been a great PT and I lost count when I said it was 26 years, my wife has informed me that it has been over 33 years now. CDBJ | ||||||

He always said the he would die in the pulpit rather quit teaching since that is his life! Every time we had a chance for face to face we would go even if it meant a couple hundred-mile trip, it was worth it. I really get a kick out of watching him write Hebrew backwards!

The verse found in 1 Peter 1:7 would indicate that believers are going to go through a real time of testing just before the Lord returns, how could this be? 1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: |

1727 | When, what and who are included? | Rev 7:14 | CDBJ | 224256 | ||
Greetings, I know that verse and it’s that very verse that stimulated my question to you in the first place. I ask again, what is the believer in Christ holding to the pretribulation point of view supposed to do if the rapture takes place before the tribulation. Aside from believing in Jesus what is it that one needs to be doing to be ready, or putting it another way; what would you suggest aside from total trust in the saving work of Christ? Then on the other hand “if” the rapture doesn’t take place before the tribulation what is it that Christians need to prepare for? Luke 18:1-8 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 2Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? 2 Thes. 2:3-9 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, Could it be that we are being deceived and many won’t be ready for that which is going to take place on earth “before” Christ returns? Matthew 24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; Scripture never suggest that the Lord’s return will come sooner then expected, it’s always later, suggesting that the faith of many will be shattered. 1 Thes. 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, The “tribulation period”is the wrath of Satan’s man during his final days. The wrath of God doesn’t take place until “after” believers are delivered from these most horrible days. CDBJ |

1728 | Does this 'star' relate to Wormwood in 8 | Rev 9:1 | CDBJ | 208604 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. An observation that I considered some years ago about the object Wormwood with regards to Rev. 8:11: it could land in one piece in Lake Superior and cause the effect mentioned in Revelation. Over 1/3 of the worlds fresh water is located in the Great Lakes with Lake Superior being at the head waters. Just pure speculation but food for thought. Rev. 8:11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

1729 | "Two witnesses." When? Who? | Rev 11:3 | CDBJ | 136514 | ||
Greetings mommapbs, Here is another point that might back up what Kalos was saying, with regards to the apostasy. Notice the warnings given to Christians in the following verses. Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Luke 18:8 (B) Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? 2 Thes. 2:1-5 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, [2] That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. [3] Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; [4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. [5] Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? The word, brethren, is used in verse one and then in verse three Paul gives the same warning that Jesus spoke of Mathew; Let no man deceive you. Are we being deceived today as to the return of the Lord and the order of events that will transpire before His return??? Have a nice day, CDBJ |

1730 | "Two witnesses." When? Who? | Rev 11:3 | CDBJ | 136551 | ||
Hi mommapbs, Your post has me thoroughly confused. Do you believe the order of events described by Paul in II Thes? The subject is found in verse 1, which is what most believers generally call the rapture. 2 Thes. 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, Paul goes on to tell us that certain thing “must” transpire “BEFORE” the Lord will return, which to me means that the Lord won’t gather us until it happens. 2 Thes. 2:3-5 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; [4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. [5] Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? Now it looks like you are trying to deceive me by telling me the following, which is in opposition to what Paul taught? “When we, as followers of Jesus, fully appreciate that the Lord could return at any moment,” So who is right, Paul or you, saying that the Lord could return at any moment? I hope you see the same things in these verses that I do, because a lot of believers are going to have their faith shaken to the core when these thing start to transpire, when the son of perdition shows up and is persecuting the church and we haven’t left the earth yet? If Satan can't get at the Jews he is going to go after the Church. Rev. 12:12-17 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. [13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. [14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. [15] And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. [16] And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. [17] And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. These past verses coincide with what Paul was telling us in II Thess. and what Jesus said in Matt 24! Have a great day, CDBJ |

1731 | "Two witnesses." When? Who? | Rev 11:3 | CDBJ | 136600 | ||
Hi Mark, Careful examination of the Scripture shows that the both events occur on the same day. As soon as God takes up the believers from the earth, WHAM, He is going to clobber those that are left behind!! Notice the words same day in the following. Luke 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. The believers were delivered and the Lord struck with his wrath. All believers are told to look up because their redemption will be seen coming in the clouds. The unbelievers will see Him as well only they will be scared to the point of hiding in the rocks and caves to escape His wrath. Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Rev. 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. When will the Lord return and punish the unbelievers, the same day that we are gathered out from the earth into His precious glory. Notice in the following verse the word “WHEN” he will bring this destruction found in verse 10! 2 Thes. 1:7-10 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, [8] In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: [9] Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; [10] When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. The parable fit perfectly. Matthew 13:26-30 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. [27] So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? [28] He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? [29] But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. [30] Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. At the time of the harvest we will be raptured, as represented by the word in verse 43, Then Matthew 13:39-43 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. [40] As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. [41] The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; [42] And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. [43] Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi Mark, If you enjoy eschatology there is a book that I think you would really appreciate called, The Sign, ISBN #0-89107-756-1: it has tied up more loose ends for me on the subject then any I have read which have been numerous, to say the least. Have a great day, CDBJ |

1734 | Who's the "her" ? | Rev 18:4 | CDBJ | 239679 | ||
The millions of phony religions of the world i.e. the devil’s deceptive plan of salvation by works. Christianity is a grace operation and not a religion but a relationship with God the father through the Son Jesus the anointed one. John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 3:18 (NKJV) 18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:36 (NKJV) 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." 1 John 5:10-13 (NKJV) 10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. 11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

1735 | Who are the Gog and Magog? | Rev 20:8 | CDBJ | 21374 | ||
EdB greetings; It just hit me, that you said lookup. I was just thinking, how many times have believers heard this and even used it, I myself being one. Yet I wonder how many actually realize what will transpire before we are actually told to look up, as in Luke 21:28? I think that we often use this as Christian jargon, at least I have, but the context of this saying is very tragic to say the least. If all would read from Luke 21:5-36, as I did, and consider the timing of this often quoted verse it would be an eye opener. Thanks for the comment, it has started me thinking. CDBJ | ||||||
1736 | Who are the Gog and Magog? | Rev 20:8 | CDBJ | 21457 | ||
EdB; I liked your answer, that is a classic and one that I will have to remember. A lot of believers don't realize that God has promised us eternal life and it starts the moment that we believe in Jesus Christ and trust Him for our salvation. God didn't promise us a bed of roses down here but He does promise that we wouldn't be alone in out struggle through psychical life. Fox's Book of Martyrs sure makes this clear, and I think the worst is yet to come. There are actually more martyrs in this day and age then were in the days mentioned in the Book of Martyrs, according to statistics. Paul explains something to us in 2 Thes. 1:4-10 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 6Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. |

1738 | Who does "the dead" include? | Rev 20:12 | CDBJ | 179234 | ||
Hello Alison63 and welcome to the forum. Things can really get twisted around when we start to assume as you suggested. You stated with regards to Rev. 20:15, “assumes that there could have been someones whose name WAS written in the book of life, therefore a saved person. Any comments?” Here is one you can think on: It’s always “assumed” that there are no believers at the great white throne judgment because they aren’t actually named but “if there will be”, verse Rev. 20:15 could cover them, if that is the case. Since believers don’t actually face a judgment for “condemnation”, but a judgment for rewards, as it were, where are the believers that come out of the 1000 year reign of Christ to be judged for their rewards? The only judgment mentioned after the millennium is over is the white throne judgment, and the “dead” standing there we know will all be judged out of the books which are the books of works. "Two categories" of books, one set of books contains works of those who are bound for fire the other “book” contains those that will live forever with God. Since we are assuming, then let’s say that there are “living” saints standing there as well to be judged, they are the believers born during the millennium, and they are judged as well for their rewards but the fact is their names are written in the book of life. Case and point; Rev. 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. It can sure get sticky and involved when assuming, enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

1739 | Text out of context for our feelings? | Rev 21:1 | CDBJ | 157747 | ||
Greetings Makarios, Would it be safe to assume, considering the content in Rev. 20:4, that there will possibly be some anguish in heaven before such time as the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. Verses to consider, Rev. 6:9-10 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: [10] And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? There are other verses that precede the action mentioned in Rev.20 by believers that are no longer mortal. 2 Cor. 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 1 Cor. 3:13-15 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. [14] If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. [15] If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. I included the last three verses to point out the word suffer and the fact that this suffering happens to those that are on the other side of mortality. I think these verses point out the misconstrued idea that just because we are in the presence of the Lord. Paul stated, 2 Cor. 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. In the present with the Lord doesn’t mean that Rev. 20:4 is in effect yet at physical death of a believer. Have a great day, CDBJ |
