3481 | Where in the BIBLE is number 8 and 6? | Revelation | BradK | 151778 | ||
Hi seedling, Part 2- Numerology I spoke a little too soon without checking my resources:-) Here is a quick explanation from Bullingers' work, "Number in Scripture"- on the numbers, 6 and 8. I don't necessarily endorse it in its' entirety, but it is available on line. 6: Six is either 4 plus 2, i.e., man's world (4) with man's enmity to God (2) brought in: or it is 5 plus 1, the grace of God made of none effect by man's addition to it, or perversion, or corruption of it: or it is 7 minus 1, i.e., man's coming short of spiritual perfection. In any case, therefore, it has to do with man; it is the number of imperfection; the human number; the number of MAN as destitute of God, without God, without Christ. 8: In Hebrew the number eight is hnm# (Sh'moneh), from the root Nm. (Shah'meyn), "to make fat," "cover with fat," "to super-abound." As a participle it means "one who abounds in strength," etc. As a noun it is "superabundant fertility," "oil," etc. So that as a numeral it is the superabundant number. As seven was so called because the seventh day was the day of completion and rest, so eight, as the eighth day, was over and above this perfect completion, and was indeed the first of a new series, as well as being the eighth. Thus it already represents two numbers in one, the first and eighth. I hope this additional insight is beneficial. BradK |

3483 | Revelation not a book of future prophecy | Revelation | BradK | 172876 | ||
Hello kosheiman, So, are you advocating and holding to a Preterist View? I do not buy the assertion that "until" expresses the point of termination of the law and prophecy! It sounds more like an opinion than anything with a solid basis. Might I inquire how so? Additionally, how the fall of Jerusalem can be thought to fit the description of Revelation 19 is a wonder!

Hello Charlie, I'd echo what Beja told you. Your so-called preacher is offering nothing but pure, unadulterated speculation. There's absolutely no Biblical basis upon which to support this! Hell is not in the center of the earth and it is further certain that it is not the cause of any (debatable) global warming! (2 Tim. 2:15) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3486 | John 10:30 vs 1 Cor 11:3 Contradiction?? | Revelation | BradK | 217546 | ||
Humility: The Bible makes it abundantly clear that Jesus Christ is God. There is ample proof in the Gospel of John alone(cf 8:58, 10:31). To be our Savior, Christ had to fulfill 3 conditions: 1. He had to be God (Titus 2:13, 1 John 5:20); 2. He had to be a man (1 Tim. 2:5); 3. He had to be sinless (John 1:29,2 Cor. 5:21, Heb 4:15) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3488 | Will ALL of Israel be saved? | Revelation | BradK | 231330 | ||
Hello Hoth, Am I to understand from your answer that you're saying scripture teaches that (literally) ALL Israel will be saved? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3489 | Will ALL of Israel be saved? | Revelation | BradK | 231334 | ||
Hi HOTH, We know that scripture doesn't teach Universalism and we also should know there's not Two salvations; One for Israel and One for the Gentiles. So, I think we need to understand this text within the analogy of scripture. It must be consistent with the rest of God's Word (John 3:16, etc). I would see Paul's reference to those of "believing Israel". It would seem Paul does not want the Gentiles to have a haughty or superior attitude toward faithless Jews. Despite what John Hagee has promoted, Israel doesn't "get a Pass" because they are Jewish. They too must 'believe on Him whom He has sent' (John 6:29) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3490 | Will ALL of Israel be saved? | Revelation | BradK | 231340 | ||
Hello HOTH, I appreciate the discussion. Here's what I'd add for consideration. What John Hagee teaches regarding Israel is what I'd term a "Dual Covenant Theory". He does not believe that Jews even need to be evangelized! They're saved because of their lineage! This is simply counter to the teaching of scripture and is heterodox! He is guilty of preaching another gospel (Gal. 1:8-9). Keep in mind we need to consider what Paul has already said in previous chapters of his argument in Romans. Rom 3:9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; Rom 3:10 as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; Rom 3:11 THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; All are under condemnation of sin; both Jews and Gentiles. Then note, Paul's only prayer for unbelievers is for his beloved Israel- Rom 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. Rom 10:2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. It is for their salvation, not that they are already saved. Next, we see who can be saved and how. Rom 10:9 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; Rom 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. Rom 10:11 For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED." Rom 10:12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; Rom 10:13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." This most definitely applies to Israel. In understanding Rom. 11:27, here's a couple of perspectives: The Commentary Critical - "26, 27. And so all Israel shall be saved— To understand this great statement, as some still do, merely of such a gradual inbringing of individual Jews, that there shall at length remain none in unbelief, is to do manifest violence both to it and to the whole context. It can only mean the ultimate ingathering of Israel as a nation, in contrast with the present “remnant.” (So THOLUCK, MEYER, DE WETTE, PHILIPPI, ALFORD, HODGE). Three confirmations of this now follow: two from the prophets, and a third from the Abrahamic covenant itself. First, as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall—or, according to what seems the true reading, without the “and”—“He shall” turn away ungodliness from Jacob—The apostle, having drawn his illustrations of man’s sinfulness chiefly from Ps 14:1–7 and Is 59:1–21, now seems to combine the language of the same two places regarding Israel’s salvation from it [BENGEL]. In the one place the Psalmist longs to see the “salvation of Israel coming out of Zion” (Ps 14:7); in the other, the prophet announces that “the Redeemer (or, ‘Deliverer’) shall come to (or ‘for’) Zion” (Is 59:20). But as all the glorious manifestations of Israel’s God were regarded as issuing out of Zion, as the seat of His manifested glory (Ps 20:2; 110:2; Is 31:9), the turn which the apostle gives to the words merely adds to them that familiar idea. And whereas the prophet announces that He “shall come to (or, ‘for’) them that turn from transgression in Jacob,” while the apostle makes Him say that He shall come “to turn away ungodliness from Jacob,” this is taken from the Septuagint version, and seems to indicate a different reading of the original text. The sense, however, is substantially the same in both." Dr. Kenneth Weust offers this- "(11:26, 27) “And thus”—“not merely temporal, but under the influence of the jealousy so excited—under the impression produced on the Jews by the sight of the Gentiles in their fulness peopling the kingdom—all Israel shall be saved” (Denney). By all Israel being saved, Paul means the individual salvation of each member of the nation Israel living at the time of the second Advent. Zechariah (13:1) predicts this cleansing of Israel from its sins in the words, “In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and uncleanness.” This individual cleansing from sin will be followed by a national restoration to the Messianic kingdom with Messiah reigning on the throne of David in Jerusalem as King of kings and Lord of lords for one thousand years." [Wuest, K. S. (1997). Wuest's word studies from the Greek New Testament] The verses in Matthew and Luke are speaking about the future millenial kingdon, but presume an already regenerate (hence saved) individual. I hope this helps, BradK |

3491 | Salvation a mystery in OT | Rev 1:1 | BradK | 117082 | ||
teachergary, This question is not an easy one to answer:-) First, let's consider what Jesus said to the Sadduces in Matt. 22:31-32: "But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God: ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living." They must have looked forward to the promise (of being resurrected) as indicated in Hebrews 11:13-16: "All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them." Christ spoke of this in reference to Abraham in John 8:56 saying, "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." When we consider the phrase "the just shall live by faith"- quoted from Hab. 2:4 (Rom. 1:17, Gal. 3:11, Heb. 10:38)- it seems to carry an immediate and future meaning. Looking at Lev. 18:5 "‘So you shall keep My statutes and My judgments, by which a man may live if he does them; I am the Lord.", the Hebrew word for 'live' is chayah. It means "to live", "to remain alive", "to preserve his life". This can definitely speak to a future resurrection. Certainly, one of the more difficult verses are found in Hebrews 11:39-40 which seem to refer to such: "And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised, because God had provided something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect." The answer may lie in 1 Thess. 4:16, 17 "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

tduplechain, So, are you saying that the "Red Letter" words of Christ are more inspired than the rest of scripture and carry more weight? Just trying to clarify, BradK |

3493 | Christ Jesus testimony / Red writing | Rev 1:1 | BradK | 141955 | ||
Hi tduplechain, I'm still not clear as to your response! Are you basing it on something other than personal opinion or speculation? I fail to see how anything you said has to do with the question at hand: Do or Do not the "Red Letters" of Christ in the NT Gospels carry more weight than the rest of scripture? I await your answer:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3496 | ... | Rev 1:1 | BradK | 215574 | ||
Hello Bab53, Welcome to the Forum. My question when this type of extra-biblical stuff comes up is this: Since Paul tells us explicitly that, "...it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me;..." (Gal. 2:20), why would we need a guardian angel? Is not Christ greater than any angel? I too see very little- limited- Biblical support for the notion of a guadian angel!

Hello Rosanna, The best, most concise summary comes from the book itself- Rev. 1:1, "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John," (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |
