21 | Why 70 AD. and why predictions? | Matt 16:28 | Brian#9 | 183746 | ||
Hello Coper, Following this post has raised some questions. Would you please answer them so I will be able to understand better? Why 70 AD? The temple was not the earthly dwelling place of God. We the believers are from Pentecost on, no need for one made of stone. The priesthood-Jesus Christ is our high priest and advocate at the Fathers right hand. The sacrifices- Jesus paid that at the cross. The veil was torn from the top to the bottom at His death. All of these happen before 70 AD. You seem to view Matt 16:24 as a prediction that Jesus did know when He was coming back. What about Matt. 24:36, Mark 13:32,( only the Father knows ). As John was the only one that was alive in 70 AD. which would mean that he alone would have seen the Coming. How do you explain 'some'? Matt. 24:34 No predictions, He did not know. Would not generations be defined as progeny rather than a time frame? In the Quest of Truth, Brian |

22 | Conflict between business and pastor | 2 Thess 3:8 | Brian#9 | 182709 | ||
Thank you Jeff, Yes you are right. The reason for the question was due to my holding two jobs working 80 hours over a seven day period for a while. Both pastoring and running a business are over 40 hour jobs. You are right "conflict of interest" wrong words. What I meant was that one or the other would suffer. Both are primary, making one secondary would make it suffer. How do you decide which one? No, I do not know of a Pastor that runs a full time business. I will look into the pastor relief. There might be something this cripple can do.Thank you!!! In His Hand, Brian |

23 | Conflict between business and pastor | 2 Thess 3:8 | Brian#9 | 182708 | ||
Thanks Doc, I was pointing out that pastoring and owning and running a business are both primary. Pastoring as primary and working as secondary( shame on the congregation )is sometimes needed which you pointed out. As both in the question are primary. How could anyone do both? I have worked two (secondary) jobs for a lot of years in the past.That was the reason for my question. Not if the Word said yes or no. I know that I do not make myself clear at times. I hope this helps. In His Hand, Brian |

24 | Conflict between business and pastor | 2 Thess 3:8 | Brian#9 | 182699 | ||
I have a question. How could a pastor find the time to run and own a business and pastor a church at the same time? Yes some of Christ's disciples were fisherman 'before' being called. Christ was a carpenter 'before' His time. And Paul resumed tent making as a occupation when necessary for personal support. I find it hard to believe that a pastor with a demanding schedule, getting up early, burning the midnight oil in prayer and the study of the Word. With the burden to reach as many souls for Christ as he can could own and run a business. Unless he only owned it in name only. Otherwise there seems to be a conflict of interests. Would he not have to leave one to become a pastor? Which brings to mind what I heard Dr. Lee Roberson say. "A pastor never retires" He is 97. In His Hand, Brian |

25 | Source of "Sin begets sin" | James 1:13 | Brian#9 | 182419 | ||
Evening Bulldog2k, I found "sin begets sin" used by A. Fuller in my electronic copy of Bible Illustrator O.T. Searcher gave the example in 2 Sam. 11 of David and Bathsheba. The same principle is brought out in 2 Tim. 3:13 But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. As Machaira said, an extra-Biblical saying that is used to explain a attribute of sin. I hope this has helped you. In His Hand, Brian |

Hello DLorddaughter, John and a centurion? Would you be looking for Cornelius the centurion,Peters vision, and the gentiles receiving the Holly Spirit? Acts 10:1-48,11:1-18 would explain it. In His Hand, Brian |

27 | How do you come to your conclusion of pe | Rev 17:10 | Brian#9 | 182072 | ||
Evening Sir, I am still in the middle of this :-) :-) :-). What started me on this was the wording of Rev. 17:11, " even he is the eighth, and is of the seven," as well as Rev. 17:18. Still looking for resources. Yes you are correct that the final one should be clear to those who will be here to see him, But they will not see him as you or I would have ( 2 Thessalonians 2::8-12 ). Please check your e-mail sir. In His Hand, Brian |

28 | How do you come to your conclusion of pe | Rev 17:10 | Brian#9 | 181908 | ||
Hello Sir; It has been awhile,may this year that is one closer to our Lord's return be a blessed one for you and yours. Do you have a copy of Seiss's Apocalypse of Jesus Christ? It is interesting reading. I am aware that others have different views. I just would like to read their sources for their opinions too. I would find it hard to elevate Hitler to the level of Nimrod or any of the others. Do you have any resources on Rev. 17:9-11? I am still studying, no opinion yet. In His Hand, Brian |

29 | How do you come to your conclusion of pe | Rev 17:10 | Brian#9 | 181859 | ||
Hello Kalos, My question is that if you believe the kings in Rev. 17:10 are people, how do you come to that conclusion? And with that information I see no reason why six of the kings could not be identified. Where as Seiss brings forth many points to uphold his position that the kings are world powers and could not be persons. As he has identified the six in the verse, then the seventh should be the one world government of the end times. As Seiss (Seiss Apocalypse ) pointed out the six world powers (Rome in John's day, Greece, Persia, Babylon, Assyria, and Egypt ), have all carried the idolatrous Harlot Woman, and so will the seventh. This position of the kings being world powers also harmonizes Daniel's visions and John's visions. Understandable due to the fact that both have the same Source. Trying to fully understand all the verses of the Bible is trying to understand the Mind of Christ. As much as this pea-brain human can understand, and yes I want to know. Still searching the Mind of Christ, Brian |

30 | If persons then identify. | Rev 17:10 | Brian#9 | 181814 | ||
Hello Kalos, Thank you for the reply and another resource (revelation commentary.org/17-chapter.html ) My statement was that Seiss in Seiss Apocalypse called them world powers not persons that is all. Looking for the best explanation that matches the Bible. If they are persons then the six ought to be easy to identify. Only the seventh still not known. Who do you say they are, that matches the Bible? Or more information like that above. Again thank you, Brian |

31 | Persons or World Powers? | Rev 17:10 | Brian#9 | 181754 | ||
Hello Tim Moran, On reading your post I decided to read my electronic copy of Seiss Apocalypse Rev 17:1-17, If I may quote a portion of it,"They are Greece, Persia, Babylon, Assyria, and Egypt; no more and no less. And these all were imperial powers like Rome. Here, then are six of these regal mountains; the seventh is not yet come. When it comes it is to endure but a short time. This implies that each of the others continues a log time; and so, again could not mean the dictators, decemvirs, and military tribunes of the early history of Rome, for some of them lasted but a year or two.Thus, then, by the clearest, most direct, and most natural signification of words of the record, we are brought to the identification of these seven mountain kings as the seven great world-powers, which stretch from the beginning of our present world to the end of it. Daniel makes the number less; but he started with his own times, and looked only down the stream. Here the account looks backward as well as forward. What is first in Daniel is the third here, and that which is the sixth here is the fourth in Daniel. Only the commencing point is there any difference. The visions of Daniel and the visions of John are from the same Divine Mind, and they perfectly harmonize, only that the latest are the amplest. By these seven great powers then, filling up the whole interval of this world's history, this great Harlot is said to be carried." Sir the above quote identifies the seven as great world powers. How did you come to the conclusion that they are persons? Is there another source that you have that supports that the seven are persons? In HIS Hand, Brian |

Hello J.R., The question is so broad.Your answer might best be found in another resource. Like the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia. (God, Names Of). Personal names, descriptive names and figurative names as subtitles, both Old and New Testaments. Not to forget "I Am That I Am". In HIS Hand, Brian |

I would like to thank you for your kind word on a previous post, but something to remember.My heart is as wicked as all are. Only by God's Grace and His Power am I able to remain in His Hand.

35 | holy spirit-jacobs ladder dream | Gen 28:10 | Brian#9 | 181292 | ||
Hello Biblelover756, I am a little confused by your question.But may this be of some help. Gensis 28:13 (from Jamison, Fausset, and Brown Commentary) I am the Lord God of Abraham,...The Divine Person who appeared repeatedly to the patriarchs expressly called himself the Lord[Yahweh] on two occaions only-namely, once in His earlier communications with Abraham (Gen.15:7), and afterward on this occasion before us, which was apparently the commencement of his miraculous conversation with Jacob. Having shown to these patriarchs that He possessed a rightful claim to the name Yahweh, He in subsequent appearances to them assumed the name El Shaddai (God Almighty);while the name Yahweh was often applied both in his manifestations(Gen. 18:19, 22:19) and in their ordinary conversation (Gen. 24:3,7; 49:18) to the great and glorious Being of whom He was the Angel or Messenger. Thus, the names Yahweh and El Shaddai appear to have had in the patriarchal age that degree of distinct application which the names Lord and God had in the language of the apostles (1 Cor.8:6). The patriarch's usual name for the First Person (the Revealer) was the Lord (Yahweh): for the Second, El Shaddai (God Almighty) (Kidd 'On the Divine Names') Did the Lord(Yahweh) have an influence on Jacob? Yes, Jacob's actions (Gen. 28:17-22) brings this out In His Hand, Brian |

37 | Power of Michael the Archangel? | 2 Thess 2:7 | Brian#9 | 181176 | ||
Hello Kalos Sir; A lot to filter through from You, Doc. Jeff and Marv Rosenthal. Why I think that Michael is weaker than Satan; In Jude 9 Michael used the power of God to handle Satan, not his own power. Christ on the other hand not only used the Word, but spoke from a position of authority(Matthew 4:1-11, Luke 4:1-13). Satan's (Lucifer) original state as an archangel of light(morning star)(Isaiah 14:12). Ezekiel 28:11-19; The king of Tyre, beside the literal sense is there not an allegory in it, and it is an allusion to the fall of Satan. The anointed cheurb that covers able to withstand the glory of God. As a accuser before God he was free to move between heaven and earth as he wish.(Job 1:6-12) The contention between Michael and Satan as told in Jude 9 was with this powerful 'created' being. The Cross, Death, Burial,Resurrection, and Ascension of Christ our Advocate before the Throne interceding for believers (Rom.8:34, Heb.7:25,1 John 2:1)leaves no place in heaven for the accuser. Because of what Christ has done,the weakened Satan and his angels are removed from heaven by Michael and his angels. (Rev 12:7-9) Not by angelic power, but by power of God's Son. As for Michael being the voice of the archangel in 1 Thes. 4:16. I just do not know one way or the other. Is Michael the restrainer of 2 Thes 2:7; a angelic being useing the power of God to restrain, or the Holly Spirit, or the Holly Spirit thru the Church. All have one thing in common.No matter how you look at it God is the restrainer. Michael of Dan 12:1 according to Marv Rosenthal and yourself,wheither standing still or standing for; brings to question what is the protecting angel of Israel (Michael) doing for the remant delivered(144,000) from the time of trouble. This I need to look into. I thank you for your post. I enjoy the questions they bring forth. Thought; As a created being I find that I am stronger the closer I am to the Throne. Weaker the farther I am from It. Just like Satan was. In HIS Hand, Brian |

38 | Power of Michael the Archangel? | 2 Thess 2:7 | Brian#9 | 181106 | ||
Evening Jeff, Yes sir, Michael is weaker than Satan and only with GOD's power is he able. How dose that fit with him being the restrainer of 2 Thes 2:7? Would not GOD be the one? The HOLY SPIRIT here in the Church age would be a better fit , would it not? Dan. 12:1 deals with the Jews as Rev. 12:7 dose also. I just want Kalos to explain useing Scripture so I can understand his post. 1 John 1:9 and 1 John 1:7b, Brian |

39 | Power of Michael the Archangel? | 2 Thess 2:7 | Brian#9 | 181093 | ||
