21 | Ezekiel 38:15 | Ezekiel | Xapis | 393 | ||
I agree with the other answer, that we can guess all we want who will come from the north, but the truth will be known after it comes to pass. Prophecy is not given so that we know the details before hand, but so that we know that God knows the end from the beginning. 1PE 1:10 "As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries" it goes on to say that even they didn't know the details of the things that they were writing about. The passage says from the north. Other passages I have been told tell of Gog and Magog, and Moscow they say comes from the same root as Magog. But I would still caution you not to put any stock in detailed proclamations that go beyond what the scriptures say. |

22 | who are the spirits in this verse? | 1 Peter | Xapis | 390 | ||
In Eph 4:8-10 it says that Jesus first descended and then ascended into heaven leading a host of captives. So, I believe that these were Old Testament saints that were waiting for the promise. Jesus went to Sheol, and explained what He had done and then led them to Heaven with Him. | ||||||
23 | Mary did not know Jesus at the tome | 1 Cor 13:12 | Xapis | 387 | ||
I think that the reason was unbelief. I did not know why Jesus could not do many miracles in his home town because of the people's unbelief until the reality of this concept was applied to my life. My wife and I have a relationship that most people cannot comprehend. Even our believing friends that have met with us for years in Bible study cannot truly understand the oneness that we have. Years of conditioning in the world, telling them that relationships like this were not possible have put a barrier there where their belief system cannot go, yet. Likewise, Jesus was breaking new ground here in the resurrection. The belief systems of the people, even his own disciples were prohibiting them from fully realizing the truth. Jesus broke through those barriers in both cases just like He wants to for us. Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard we try, until God breaks through for us we won't get it. | ||||||
24 | Was the wine alcoholic or not | John 2:10 | Xapis | 380 | ||
My understanding is that the Greek uses the same word for wine whether it has alcohol in it or not. It really doesn't matter, since Jesus said that nothing entering into a man can defile him. Many will disagree with that, but if you are going to get drunk, you are going to get drunk. It is a matter of the heart. Getting drunk is a symptom of a greater need that is not being met. Jesus will meet that need. If I want to go back to drinking, I had better check my relationship with Jesus, because He is the antithesis of drunkenness according to God's Word. Eph 5 says to be no longer drunk with wine but rather be filled with the Spirit. | ||||||
25 | Did God want borders to exist? | OT general | Xapis | 189 | ||
I believe that it is in keeping with God's character to unite and reconcile. Borders are a result of sin, and the discord that comes with it. As it is, until sin is done away with and Christ rules on the earth, we will have borders. Christ as King, however allows us to live above political bounderies to bring peace to the whole earth. | ||||||
26 | Where did Satan come from? | Ezek 28:12 | Xapis | 188 | ||
This passage, Eze 28:12-19, speaks of the king of Tyre, but allegorically it speaks of Satan. Notice that he was created in perfection he was beautiful and walked in the garden of God until sin was found in him. This passage speaks of his creation, early life and his fall from perfection. Notice that it was his pride, self sufficiency, that cost him everything. | ||||||
