381 | We are also of the order of Melchizedik? | 1 Pet 2:9 | glory777 | 63172 | ||
Robert- Isn't there only one other "Royal priest" mentioned in the bible - Melchizedek- Heb. 7:1; Psalm 110:4; Gen. 14:18; and these verses are also stating what position we are to God? I'm not sure where this is going - if anywhere, But does this not mean and states again, that we are to be, or are, given the same access to the Lord, through Jesus, as Jesus has? We are heirs to the King (royal) and we have access (priesthood). What an honor! And how humbling. Debbie |

382 | Isn't the computer bad? | Revelation | glory777 | 16853 | ||
Ed- If the bible says the mark or number of the beast is 666, the way my computer has been acting lately - it may fit! Debbie |

383 | What is 666? | Revelation | glory777 | 23290 | ||
EdB- No, the bible does not mention computer chips, neither does it say that it will be written on the hand or forehead in indelible ink or tattooed. We just don't know. Even if John was shown one in his vision, how would he describe it? However, the invention of chips gives us just one more possiblility of how it could be done. Revelations also does not mention satelites and TV, but how else could people all over the world see the witnesses lying dead in the street for 3 days and then being taken up? Again, not to say that that is how it is going to be seen, but it gives us one way that it could be possible that was not available not too many years ago. Which brings me to the point - watch and pray!! More things are available in our "natural" world that makes the things written in Revelation something we can imagine happening without using a lot of imagination! Debbie |

384 | and a jezebel spirit..? | Rev 2:20 | glory777 | 16542 | ||
Blessings, Cate- Also note that Ahab gave up his authority of being the leader to Jezebel. In many marriages of today, the Jezebel spirit is alive and strong, with the woman doing and using everything in her power to take over the male leadership role. This is totally going against the will of God, as Jezebel did then. Debbie |

385 | are we free? | Rev 3:16 | glory777 | 7803 | ||
First I would want to know what that vision is? Is it in accordance with God's word? Everything has to be judged according to that. If it is, then I would have to say there are always going to be people that try to take the joy of the Lord from you. Jesus wants us to be fanatical about Him. In Rev. 2:4, Jesus is rebuking a church because it had left it's "first love." Too many "Christians" have never felt the excitement and desire of a "first love" for Christ or they have become so "mature" that they think it should be tempered. Christ also says of those who are lukewarm "I will spew (vomit) you out of my mouth" in Rev. 3:16. Keep the excitement for the Lord. We are to be a people called apart and there will be those who try to mold us to what THEY expect. Keep studying the Word and remember, we follow what God says, and not man. Freedom is not an excuse for doing anything WE want, but for doing what God wants. | ||||||
386 | what does rev6.6 refer to | Rev 6:6 | glory777 | 17036 | ||
According to the notes in my bible, "a denarius was the daily wage for a laborer, which ordinarily would buy eight times the amount of wheat and barley as under these conditions. The oil and the wine, symbolic of luxuries, likely means the famine is viewed as limited. It does not depict worldwide rampant starvation." From the Spirit filled Life Bible. Inflation to the max.

387 | who are the 144,000 | Rev 7:3 | glory777 | 72516 | ||
Another explaination I have heard is that the 144,000 are actually Jews (12000 from each tribe of the 12 tribes of Israel). We have to be careful and realize that some things are symbolic but not all things have to be and that some things that we take as literal do not have to be. A lot in Revelation we will just have to wait and see which interpretation is correct!:) Debbie |

388 | Can these Ten Kings be "Al-Qaeda"? | Rev 17:16 | glory777 | 59509 | ||
Are there ten leaders in Al-qaeda? I thought they represented real leaders of real countries or regions? And does it really matter? How would we know for sure? There were people who thought Hitler was the Antichrist. I think the main thing for us to focus on is that the end times could happen at any time and to get the gospel out to as many people as possible as if today is our last day and to keep looking for the return of the King with anticipation. Speculation will do nothing for the Kingdom - action w/prayer will! Peace in Christ to you- Debbie |

389 | Isn't every word of God vital to us? | Rev 17:16 | glory777 | 59562 | ||
Pastor Glenn- Every word in the bible is important, but people can get so caught up in what I call "revelation theory" at the expense of what Is known. If, by chance, it were so about the kings, what would it profit us? It would give us knowledge, but would it affect our day to day living? Would it spur us into being more diligent in presenting the gospel? I don't think the Lord wants us to work for Him out of fear. I don't think He wants people to come to Him out of fear. There has been speculation that the major countries forming the European Union (?) were the kings prophesied, and, as I said, HItler as antichrist. But if we go around espousing these as facts, we would end up discrediting ourselves in the eyes of the world. Now, I know I just opened myself up to another whole can of worms, but in order to get others to know we are beleivable, we have to stay creditable. By the way, I don't think al-quida has enough clout for any 10 to be considered kings. Maybe I don't read enough of the news, but there are other countries that have more respectability and visibility and downright power that would have to be in the group, in my opinion only, of course. (I was a revelation junkie at one time. But ask me what the Father was like and I couldn't give you much of an anwer then either!) Bless you- Debbie |

390 | Does this mean that it is wrong to ask? | Rev 17:16 | glory777 | 59896 | ||
Man, I'm sorry I even answered this the first time and got the ball in a "spin"! Eschatology is an important part of the bible. We are to be prepared for what is to happen, know the signs to watch for and I believe it will be perfectly clear when it does - no debate neccessary. The book of Revelation especially comes along with a blessing for reading it(Rev. 1:3)so we should study it. We should know the order of things, even if they are not things we understand now. There is enough in the prophetic books to let us know the season is near but to guess at what specific roles certain leaders or countries will play in it is setting us up for ridicule. Pastor Glenn, you pointed out the hatred toward Christian missionaries, etc. Again, I could point to Hitler - who many thought was the antichrist - who hated Jews, Christians, etc. and set up means to try to eradicate them all. They were wrong, as we know. Other times in history, events made it seem as though the times were right. Now we see a lot more in our technological world that makes sense of the things written in Revelation. So, I do believe the time is nearer. But there are still things we do not understand, and until we do, I think we should pray about these things, keep them in our minds, keep our eyes open, do the work the Lord has for us now, and wait for the total revelation to be revealed to us. PEACE to you all- Debbie |

391 | in ot will the peope be judge by law | Rev 20:12 | glory777 | 63129 | ||
This may be debated, but I think that, the laws were written to keep the Jews as a separate people (and also a healthier people) and the sacrificial laws were kept to remind people of how much they needed to be saved and, of course, as a poor substitute of our Savior to come. But it is by faith, and faith alone that salvation comes and always has come. Abraham may have observed all the laws and sacrifices, but it was by faith that righteousness was accounted to him. But just as we will be rewarded by our works (if our motives are right) so will they by their law. Debbie |
