2761 | Book of Life "will never be altered." | Rev 3:5 | CDBJ | 67985 | ||
Hi Tim, smart move on your part, Whether or not they can be removed is a different question! :-(But, I'm not going to go there! :-), Once bitten, twice shy. Here are the different translations that I have on the same verse, take your pick. Rev. 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Rev. 13:8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world. Rev. 13:8 And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. Rev. 13:8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. Rev. 13:8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Rev. 13:8 And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life, which belongs to the Lamb who was killed before the world was made. Rev. 13:8 Everyone living on earth will worship it, everyone whose name is not written in the Book of Life. That book belongs to the lamb who was slaughtered before the creation of the world. Rev. 13:8 And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, every one whose name hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain. Rev. 13:8 and all that dwell on the earth shall do it homage, [every one] whose name had not been written from [the] founding of [the] world in the book of life of the slain Lamb. Rev. 13:8 And bow before it shall all who are dwelling upon the land, whose names have not been written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world; Even a little for the Spanish-speaking brother and sisters. Rev. 13:8 Y la adorarán todos los que moran en la tierra, cuyos nombres no han sido escritos, desde la fundación del mundo, en el libro de la vida del Cordero que fue inmolado. It is probably a mute point seeing as how the main concern is being in there in the first place and those that aren’t wouldn’t have a clue about what we are talking about anyway. CDBJ |

2762 | Testing | Rev 3:11 | CDBJ | 157009 | ||

2763 | Testing | Rev 3:11 | CDBJ | 157012 | ||
Greetings Mark, It’s interesting that you use the verse in Revelation, Rev. 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. It appears as though the church, the body of Christ, is becoming complacent, seeing it has been close to two thousand years since these words were spoken, and yet the Lord hasn’t returned as yet. Could it be that these words, I come quickly, weren’t meant to represent an epic that will take place in the very near future? Could the words, I come quickly actually represent the speed at which it will occur, once it starts to happen? Time has proven that this must be the case. Example: 1 Cor. 15:51-52 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. I come quickly and in the twinkling of an eye, could both represent the same thing, that’s pretty fast by my chronographic view! CDBJ |

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: |

2769 | Rev. 6:3 (bow) needs translation | Rev 6:2 | CDBJ | 194821 | ||
Hello Hank and welcome to the forum. I think it would be safe to conclude that one doesn’t become an authority on the Koine Greek by just reading Strong’s, even though it is a good reference book. Type the words “Greek TOXON” is your internet search engine and you can spend hours on the word toxon and they all point to the English translation BOW. Bible Background Commentary Rev 6:2. The very image of an archer on a white horse would strike terror into the heart of a pro-Roman reader. The only mounted archers of antiquity were the Parthians, whose tactics and skills had made them Rome’s most feared enemies; old Persian armies, whose heirs the Parthians were, always included sacred white horses. Although the Old Testament uses the “bow” as a symbol of judgment by battle more generally, Roman readers would think of this eastern nation that had defeated them in some recent wars; Parthians’ skill as archers was common knowledge. Other contemporary apocalyptic writers (Similitudes of Enoch) also suggested a dreaded Parthian invasion, hence ancient readers would have readily understood that this horseman meant conquest and war. I don’t know what translation you are using but I have access to over twenty some and they all say bow. If there would have been a variation in the translations I would have suspected something but since they all agree it would be pretty hard to be suspicious don’t you think? Have fun, CDBJ |

2771 | People saved during the tribulation | Rev 7:9 | CDBJ | 225430 | ||
Greetings, I assume that you are referring to the verse in II Thes. 2 Thes. 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. There are many that get confused by this verse and that’s due largely to the fact that they don’t realize the period of time mentioned is also called the time of Jacob’s trouble. Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. Does this sound familiar, “! for that day is great, so that none is like it” Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. This time of trouble is only possible because the protector of God’s people is commanded to stand aside for the progression of Satan’s final fling before Christ neutralizes his demonic actions by His return. If one knows who the protector of God’s people is they would have the answer. Daniel 10:21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince. Daniel 12:1-4 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. 4But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Did you notice the rapture in verse two? 2And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. There is a one thousand year span between the first and last part of this verse. CDBJ |

2772 | When, what and who are included? | Rev 7:14 | CDBJ | 224253 | ||
Hi BMyers, If one is a believer in Jesus Christ and believes in the pretrib position, just what is it that they need to do to be ready? CDBJ |

2773 | 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 |

2774 | 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 |

2776 | "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 |

2777 | "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 |

2778 | "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 |
