21 | What do we need to know about God | John 17:3 | peacebestill | 208483 | ||
Odaat John 3:16-19 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. What we need to know about God to avoid the penalty is; First Jesus is God. Second whoever believes in Jesus will be granted eternal life. Third whoever does not believe in Jesus has been judged already. But there is more. Peter the apostle was preaching to the Jews about who Jesus was; that He was God and that God ordained for Him to be crucufied by the Jews, and that Jesus, unlike King David arose from the dead to be seated next to God in heaven. Then the Jews repented and asked what must we do to be saved? Acts 2:38Peter siad to them, Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgivness of your sins; and you will recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit. Four repent of your sins. Five be baptized into the body of Christ. There is more. Romans 10:9, 10 That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. Six make the fact that you believe Jesus is God a confession out loud that you do because confession results in salvation. This is not meant to be a list, a chronological list, of how to get saved, because the belief and confession of Jesus as God, Lord can be all at once, and because confession should come before baptism. peacebestill |

John Gmuer Here is some more from John MacArthur on the subject. John MacAruthur, The MacArthur Bible Study Commentary, page 968 to 969, par. 3. The daily sacrifice. This reference is to the end of the daily temple sacrifice, previously allowed under a covenant which the Antichrist formed with Israel, which he later caused to cease in the middle of the final seven years (9:27). Then favorable relations give way to persecution. Even his abomination that desecrates the temple (as 9:27; Mat. 24:1; Mark 13:14; 2 Thess. 12:3, 4) is accompanied with persecution. one thousand two hundred and ninety days. From the instrusion of the abomination, there follow 1,290 days, including 1,260 which make up the last three and one-half years of the final seven years (see note on v.7), then thirty days more, possibly to allow for the judgment of the living subsequent to Christ's return (cf. Matt. 24:29-31), before millenial kingdom blessings begin. I personally am wondering where this covenant with Isreal comes from that he is speaking about? I present this, not as what I think, but as a possibility... peacebestill |

23 | seven thunders | Rev 10:4 | peacebestill | 208395 | ||
John Gmuer I have heard of the seven peals referred to as the vioce of God pealing like thunder from the throne of God. I have heard of the seven peals of thunder referred to as seven even more powerful angels than the one crying out in verse 3 to which they responded. But I think when the Bible doesn't tell us in the scripture right there, or in another scripture about the same we can't know and are only guessing which is not exactly good. peacebestill |

24 | Coming of the Lord | Rev 10:10 | peacebestill | 208393 | ||
John Gmuer I do not think the two are related, two different trumpet sounding events. I would say that we can't know when the Rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 will happen because Revelation does not say when it will happen. Also the whole point of chapter 10 is to illustrate some things; that there was a prophecy revealed to John and the angel, but not to us, that God was going to have the seventh angel sound out the finality of His plans to end the world and institute a new one, and that John was being told to prophesy again concerning the peoples, nations, tongues and kings. peacebestill |

25 | "Mystery of God" Rev 10 | Amos 3:6 | peacebestill | 208390 | ||
John Gmuer As this man has studied for far longer than I could ever hope to see if you like this; John MacArthur, The MacArthur Study Bible, page 2012, par. 3 The Mystery. A Greek term meaning "to shut" or "to close". In the NT, a "mystery" is a truth that God concealed, but has revealed through Christ and His apostles (see notes on Eph. 3:4, 5; cf. Rom. 16;25). Here the mystery is the final consumation of all things as God destroys sinners and establishes He righteous kingdom o nearth. as He declared. This mystery, though not fully revealed, was declared to God's prophets (cf. Amos 3:7). I heard it taught once not to divorce the word mystery from the words is finished in the same verse. This makes it mean that the mystery is the finising of the things of God, as in the end times completion of His plans to end the world as it is and set up His eternal kingdom. In this sense the mystery means that in the seventh angel sounding it is signifying that the completion of God's plans is at hand, and as God's will is decided beforehand, the beginnnig of whatever He has decided will happened all ready contains its end. So the angel sounding the trumpet is signifying God's plan as finished, finito. peacebestill |

26 | GOD cast an angel out of heaven/satan | Is 14:12 | peacebestill | 208381 | ||
jada Took me a couple of days, but I found this for you. Exekiel - read chapter 28:14-16. I found out in my searches that a whole lot of commentators have applied this whole passage to be about two characters in the Bible, the king of Tyre, and Lucifer becuase it can be applied to the actions of both and God's actions towards both. peacebestill |

yearegods God is a holy God everything He does, everything He feels is holy. Now, we on the other hand have jealsousy as a bad thing, generally, and rarely is it righteous, like maybe if your spouse commits adultery, then it might be being in the right to feel that way, but generally when we feel it, it is a wrong reaction. God doesn't have any rivals to be jealsous of or something, He is not jealous of someone, but about someone, us... He is jealous about us being His and when we turn to something or someone else, that is sinning against Him in a big way. Exodus 20:5 You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me. peacebestill |

28 | What is the meaqning of 'sealing?' | John 6:27 | peacebestill | 208317 | ||
Thomas I think the nature of seals is that God puts the Holy Spirit into the equation, like when Jesus received the Holy Spirit in the Jordan River, and then we see Jesus having been given the power to do His whole ministry. But I also think that when it comes to us the way the seal of the Holy Spirit works is very different because we aren't give the power as a human to save people as God. We are given the promise of salvation, and the power to witness; Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation - having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise. Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the uttermost parts of the earth. In Revelation 9:4 it talks about not harming those who have the seal of God in their foreheads - so they must be the saved. But I think unlike the seal of salvation as the Holy Spirit, and unlike the Seal on the Son to give eternal life, here the seal is a visible mark put by God on the foreheads signifying that they are His, that they are saved by the same method and process we are with the seal of the Holy Spirit inside, but this is different, signifying by an outward visible seal mark that they are not of those who have the other visible mark of damnation. peacebestill |

29 | Are these the same people? | Rev 7:15 | peacebestill | 208316 | ||
Thomas Sorry I have been in here a while without posting and reading stuff and mistakenly thought you were some one else... It appears from the 7:15 passage that the ones standing before the throne were dead believers in heaven from the Great Tribulation serving God. It seems as if the passage 6:9 is talking about martyrs, but it does not say what time period they are from. It could be that they are all the dead from time immemorial, the OT and the NT saints, plus those in the Great Tribulation, it is just not clear... Perhaps if the Bible is silent, we can't really speculate too far? But look here at this part of it; the end of verse 9 and because of the testimony which they had maintained, and verse 11 where it says that they were told to rest a little while until the rest of their number should be completed - this is as if the dead there are waiting for more of their own kind to come in. And since this is taking place during the tribulation, that goes to that those under the altar are also from the tribulation, making them the same kind, but not necessarily the same exact group as you find in 7:15. peacebestill |
