41 | Matthew 19:16-30 please clarify? | Matt 19:29 | Ken John | 111496 | ||
I agree that the disciples did not think of themselves as servants in the Kingdom reading their statement in verse 27 and Jesus confirms that they will be "upon twelve thones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." (verse 28) It's interesting to note that Jesus did not rebuke Peter for his earlier remarks. Yet in Mark 10:40 after John and James had made a request to Jesus to sit one on His right hand and the other on His left, Jesus told them it is not His to give "but it is given to them for whom it is prepared." Is there a contradiction here? There is so little we know about the Kingdom but, maybe, it is not for us to know until we are ready to be told the mystery things of God. Blessings, Ken John. | ||||||
42 | Matthew 21:19 was this a miracle or not | Matt 21:19 | Ken John | 113340 | ||
Hi Mommapbs, Thanks for your "chew." No doubt this is a Divine Miracle from our perspective because nothing is impossible with God. There is a reason for everything in Scripture so that's why studying the Word is so wonderful. Flinkywood asked a similar question and the answers were most interesting. Perhaps you will have read that string already. May I ask what your other "speculations" are ? Blessings, Ken |

44 | Has the Great Tribulation taken place ? | Matt 24:34 | Ken John | 115817 | ||
Greetings brother CDBJ, I have read these verses several times together with writers on this subject and must admit I am still busy researching Scripture. Herewith are some of my findings which lead me to think again about the Great Tribulation and the Rapture of the Church. I would appreciate your feedback. Our Lord Jesus in His discourse on the Mt of Olives (Refer Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Loke 21) clearly prophesied that the events of the GT would be fulfilled between A.D 30 and A.D 70 when Jerusalem was destroyed by the Roman army. (Ref J. Marcellus Kik – An Eschatology of Victory)(Gary McMar – Last Days Madness) False Christs: Scripture and history testify that many who arose in the forty years after Jesus’ death were false christs. (note 1 John 2:18). Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Wars and Rumours of wars: Between 14 AD and 68 AD there were many wars in Europe, Africa , Britain and elsewhere. Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Earthquakes and Famines: History and Scripture record many during this 40 year period (Acts 16:26) There were many famines as well. (Acts 11:27-29; Romans 15:25-28; 1 Cor 16:1-5) Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. Signs in the Heavens: There was a comet in 60 AD during Nero’s reign. Halley’s comet appeared in 66 AD. Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Tribulation and Persecution: The church lived through tremendous persecution between 30 AD and 70 AD. Both Peter and John were jailed (Acts 4:3) and later flogged (Acts 5:40). Stephen was stoned to death (Acts 7:54-60). Persecution increased (Acts 8:1; 9:1) James was martyred (Acts 12:1-2). Paul was almost stoned to death (Acts 14:19). The Jews and the Romans persecuted Christians without mercy. Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. Apostacy: Scripture shows that apostacy from the faith was widespread before 70 AD ( 2 Tim 1:15; 4:10, 16) Mat 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. False Prophets: There were many before 70 AD (Acts 20:29-30; 2 Cor 11:13; 2 John 7) Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Lawlessness: There was a rise in lawlessness. Caligula and Nero were examples of lawless leaders (2 Tim 3:9) Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. The Gospel Preached to the whole world: In Colossians 1:23 Pauls tells us that the Gospel “was proclaimed in all creation under heaven” (see also Romans 10:18; Col 1:6) Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. The Abomination of Desolation: Consisted of the Roman armies surrounding Jerusalem. See also Luke 21:20. Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) The Flight of Christians from the Siege: History records that many Christians fled Jerusalem during the unexpected and temporary Roman withdrawal from the siege on that city. Most fled to the rock city fortress of Pella some 60 miles northeast of Jerusalem. Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Mat 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Mat 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. Mat 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: Great Tribulation: The language Jesus uses here is reference to horrible judgements throughout the Old Testament (see Exodus 11:6; Daniel 9:12; 12:1; Joel 2:2) Mat 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. I have cut short my research to save space. In Christ, Ken. |

45 | Has the Great Tribulation taken place ? | Matt 24:34 | Ken John | 115867 | ||
Hi Suede, Thanks for your reply but what I have asked and said is not my view. My interest is in finding the TRUTH from Scripture. There are many writers with differing points of view about what Jesus said in Matthew 24 so my question was intended for someone to help me clear my thinking on this very subject as a student of God's Word. In Christ, Ken. |

46 | Has the Great Tribulation taken place ? | Matt 24:34 | Ken John | 115871 | ||
Hi brother CDBJ, Thanks for your reply which I will study. Who wrote "The Sign" do you know ? The question I asked and the views expressed are not mine but from other writers who caught my interest and got me searching. Reading Scripture takes up a lot of my time but, as an old guy, requires hugh concentration as there is much to learn. My objective in coming to this Forum is to get help in clarifying matters so that I keep to the true path and not get hooked by false teaching. Thanks for your comments which I will need time to absorb. In Christ, Ken. p.s. Do you listen to Dr Vernon McGee on Thru the Bible Radio ? |

Thanks CDBJ, I will take a look at the website you suggested and also try for the book.I listen to www.ttb.org daily and enjoy Dr McGee's studies as I like his no nonsense direct approach to Scripture and life in general. Blessings, Ken. |

52 | What happened to the saints ? | Matt 27:52 | Ken John | 115698 | ||
Brother Rowdy, As these were saints, I base my support on Paul's 2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. The same idea the Saviour expressed to the dying thief, when he said, “today shalt thou be with me in paradise;” Luk_23:43. Blessings, Ken. |

53 | How many great commission ? | Matt 28:19 | Ken John | 109742 | ||
Thanks mommapbs for your reply. I am not sure if this is the answer though. I have now found something which may help. The 1st Great Commission(Matt 10:5-7) To the Jewish Nation only - Kingdom proclaimed. The 2nd Great Commission (Acts 1:8) To all nations beginning with the Jewish Nation - Kingdom offered. The 3rd Great Commission (2Cor5:19) Kingdom postponed. I will study these and see what I can learn. Blessings, KJ |

55 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | Ken John | 65641 | ||
Thank you for your comments on prayer. As one grows in Christ our prayer life becomes so much more important and we need to take time to pray. Some days I find I am "dry" and struggle to pray. However on other days I have so much and can pray for much longer. Do you have this experience ? I am interested in the pray life of other believers ? Yours in Crist, Ken |

56 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | Ken John | 66067 | ||
Thanks for your response. I agree that one's prayer life matures as one grows in Christ. When praying in private I feel closer to God than when praying during our Church Prayer Meetings. Is it the presence of others that I am conscious of or is it that one is feeling forced to pray ? Or maybe there is another reason. Jesus did tell us that when two or more are together in prayer there He is also. Do you feel His Presence then ? | ||||||
57 | What happened to Enoch and Elijah ? | John 3:13 | Ken John | 115864 | ||
Hello Ray, I am not too sure what you are asking me as these two verses speak for themselves, I think anyway: Joh 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Barnes states: No man, therefore, is qualified to speak of heavenly things, Joh_3:12. To speak of those things requires intimate acquaintance with them - demands that we have seen them; and as no one has ascended into heaven and returned, so no one is qualified to speak of them but He who came down from heaven. This does not mean that no one had Gone to heaven or had been saved, for Enoch and Elijah had been borne there (Gen_5:24; compare Heb_11:5; 2Ki_2:11); and Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and others were there: but it means that no one had ascended and “returned,” so as to be qualified to speak of the things there. Regarding Heb 11:5 Barnes comments as follows: There is no mention made of his death, and in this respect the account of Enoch stands by itself. It is, except in this case, the uniform custom of Moses to mention the age and the death of the individuals whose biography he records, and in many cases this is about all that is said of them. But in regard to Enoch there is this remarkable exception that no record is made of his death - showing that there was something unusual in the manner of his removal from the world. I hope this will help you and answer your question to me ? In Christ, Ken. |

60 | Can there be a doctine of atonement ? | Rom 5:11 | Ken John | 113559 | ||
Thank you brother CDBJ for your detailed answer to my question. It has given me a better understanding of "atonement"(meaning to cover) as a doctrine of the Gospel. "Reconciliation" does not seem to fit this verse Romans 5:11 whereas it may do so elsewhere in Scripture. I love the Word of God so hunger for a clear understanding of it so please forgive me if my questions seem stupid. Blessings, Ken. | ||||||
