5081 | Middle East and America in Prophesy | Rev 12:14 | EdB | 63223 | ||
Pastor Glenn Forgive me for saying this but your following statement is a looooong reach. Your overlooking context. "The "...the woman was given two wings of a great eagle..." (verse 14) could represent the USA, since the Eagle is the national symbol. The USA also help Israel become a nation again in their own land after the dragon tried to destroy all Jews in the holocaust." This passage is consider by most to be a description of Israel itself. Going back to Rev 12:1 we see the woman’s description which is clearly the same as seen in Gen. 37:9-11 which we know to be Joseph describing his family which later became the nation of Israel. In Rev 12:2 here we see the women in the pangs of birth which is a common description used for Israel Is 26:17-18, Is 54:1, Hos 13:13, Mic 4:10, Mic 5:2-3. This passage in context clearly is referring to Israel. USA is not mentioned in the Bible in any form that can readily be recognized at this point in time. That is not to say the US is not mentioned only that at this time nothing within the Bible can clearly be recognized as the US. EdB |

Pastor Glenn Sorry I read you wrong the first time I thought you were referring to woman. As to the wings yes they could be USA but not very likely. Britain played a bigger part in Israel becoming a nation than we did. And many contribute the efforts of the Finns in 1906 as being the ones that initiated the rebirth of the nation if Israel. Both Britain and Finland use the eagle to some degree in their country’s symbolism. Many see the wings not as a symbol of a country but rather of indication of how many of the Jews will return home. Major air lifts have brought many Jewish back to Israel. I believe two major air lifts were used to bring the Ethiopian Jews home and Jews leaving Russia by air is an on going process. In the last 10 years 1.5 million Jews or nearly one fifth of Israel’s population has returned to Israel and most if not all by air. Again I repeat the USA can not be clearly seen in prophecy as of yet. As events unfold we may see America being revealed as a participant but to do so now is mere speculation. EdB |

Does God Have an Eraser? He must and conditioned when he would use it. Rev. 3:5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not BLOT OUT his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. (emhasis mine) EdB |

Radioman2 I don't think this passage is the focal point of anything. I just think it shows God does have an eraser. He could if He wanted erase any name He desired from the book of life. Does God ever do this? I have no idea and neither does anyone else. Why do we even care about it? Are any of us thinking of testing God to see what we can get away with before He would erase us? the whole discussion is about soemthing none of us can explain with certainity so why try? EdB |

Radioman2 That article is just one man’s opinion. In my opinion and when viewed in the light of the entire Bible God most certainly does have an eraser. Now the question is did He ever use it? I don’t know, you don’t know nor does Charles Stanley. So what are we debating? Is it whether I can go rob 5 banks and still have salvation or how about 6 or maybe 10? Can I go out and have an illicit affair? If I can have one can I have two? Three? How about if I have 20? The point is once we are saved the desire to sin and fascination of sin should leave us. Yes we will be still tempted but as we draw closer to Christ the weaker the temptation will become. To sit and debate can we sin and still be saved is crazy. Am I afraid of losing my salvation no, but I never let my guard down I always make sure I’m ready for any attack from Satan. I watch myself that I never get placed in a situation where temptation can overcome me. By that I mean I never spend time alone with another women, never go to bars nightclubs, I make sure my transactions are public, I’m still carrying the fear my parents lovingly placed in me to steal anything I always taught you would go to jail for crimes. I keep my helpmate close to me. She is my accountability person. Is my salvation secure as secure? As secure as my walk with the Lord is. I’m always fascinated by the other side of this issue. If a person proclaims to be a Christian and then is mired in sin the answer is, “oh he was never really saved.” See this attitude is just as bad as saying a person can lose their salvation. In effect they are saying a person can be fooled believing they are saved. Once again I tell you I have seen men and women that have lived Christian lives for years that now curse God and deny Christ. Have they lost their salvation or were they never saved? I don’t know, you don’t know, no man walking upon this earth today knows. This I do know! God knows and I trust Him implicitly! PS I didn't ask any questions EdB |

Those are called rhetorical questions and as such are not questions but statements stated as questions. The answer being obvious. EdB |

Radioman2 Lets stop this silliness. God has an eraser. Rev. 22:19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Now do you want to change this verse to mean something diferent? EdB |

Radioman2 Read this Rev. 22:19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Now does God have an eraser or not? That is a question. EdB |

mommapbs I sure would be careful here, I don't want to be inventing Books of Life. When Christ's work was completed on the cross all authority was given to Him and I believe it included the Book of Life which is now known by it Onwner's Name, The Lamb's Book of Life'. Blessings to you EdB |

Mommapbs Psalms tells us God recorded how he made us. That may be one book. We know our works are recorded, sins for those that are not saved and good deeds if we are saved. That could a book or two. We know there is a Lambs Book of Life. That would be another book. I see the possibility of up to four books but only one that is really important. The Lambs Book of Life, praise God! EdB |

Radioman2 Your splitting hairs. If your taken out of the tree of life doesn't that imply to you that the person would no longer have eternal life? If not what do you think it means? Surely you see this would be the same as what the KJV has correctly translated Book of Life. EdB |

JibbyJee Your right the scripture does not contradict itself. Since you brought up Heb 6 lets look at it. Is not Hebrew 6:4,5 clearly describing a spiritually enlightened person (saved)? Does not Hebrews 10:26 talk about a saved person? It is saying if we are enlightened/saved and then for what ever reason break relationship with Christ we are lost, there can be no more salvation for us. It doesn't say if we commit a sin here or there is says fall away, turn from, reject salvation. What is Blaspheme the unpardonable sin? Is it not rejection of Jesus? Read your verses in context. If we reject Jesus we certainly can no longer be said to be beleiving in Him John 3:16. Sin cannot serparate us from Jesus only broken relationship. Now let's us look at Rev 22:19 to remove something it had to be there in the first place. I can't remove a speck out of my brothers eye if there is not a speck there to begin with. If God says he will remove our name that our name had to be there. EdB |

John "If we are saved by grace, and not anything that we do (good works), how then can we forfit (sic) our salvation by something we do (an evil work)?" John first you primary premise is wrong, we do have to do something we have to believe. John 3:16 Secondly I never said evil works. I said if we break or reject relationship with Jesus. We stop depending on Him for our salvation. It is not a matter of poor God anything. God can do anything He desires, He has decided rather than force us to love Him, He allows us to respond to His love, the love He first showed us. God held out his hand it is a matter whether we chose to take it or not. Hebrews chapter 6 and 10 tells we can withdraw it once we have taken hold. If we do however God then withdraws his hand. Why is that so complicated to you? We see this pattern through out the Old Testament. God reaching out and men and women taking hold or rejecting God's hand. Is not the New Testament a continuation and fulfillment of the Old. Why suppose God decided to begin forcing Himself on believers now? God offered salvation freely and without cost to us. It a gift. We can accept it or reject it. We can treasure it or squander it. Why make it so hard? If we can’t lose our salvation explain men we both have seen, men serving God in good times and bad. Then completely walking away from God denying the faith, calling God a liar, and rejecting Jesus ever lived. John 3:16 says we must believe yet they say they don’t. Are you saying their still saved? How if they don’t believe. Or they were so fooled they only thought they were, and lived like they were. If that be the case can any of us be sure we are saved? If so how? These men thought they were saved, they were trusting in God for their salvation. EdB |

John Your back to plowing your old ground again. I heard all this at least a hundred times from you and I don't buy it now anymore than I did when I first heard it. I understand the Potter and the clay I understand that salvation is a miracle but I also read the rest of the story. God made salvation available to everyone it is clearly stated in John 3:16. Now if you want to linger on a few verses that really don't define doctrine at all and overlook the verses that are essential doctrine okay. As I have repeatedly said you will never convince me of predistination and I can only believe that through my prayers God will one day bring you out of this teaching. EdB |

John You keep missing what I say, Salvation is a miracle and without the working of the Holy Spirit you can never find God. However I believe God enables everyone at least once in their lives to accept or reject Salvation. I believe God picks the time and place, and I believe He knows the results therefore in sense it is preordained. What I don't believe is that some are born and are NEVER given a chance for salvation. To me that is to close to the hateful and fatalistic Islamic teaching of kismet. When I pray for God to bring you out of the this false teaching it is for you to realize Jesus died for the sins of the world not just those chosen to be offered salvation. I don't doubt your salvation what I abhor is your teaching that God would allow a created being to roast in hell because it was never elected. Never given the chance that you and I were given. That my friend does not align with the rest of scripture. Please don't make me regret responding to your inquiry. As I said we have both heard it all. EdB |

John Your the master of proof text, but your message does not agree with the rest of scripture. John 3:16 Jesus died for who ever should believe not just the chosen few. Proof text taken out of context is pretext my friend. Sit down and read the WHOLE Bible not your favorite 88 and see what God said. His desire was that none would perish. Look how He dealt with the patriarchs. He gave them a choice, look how he dealt with people all through the Old Testament. In each case God reached out to man either to be accepted or rejected. Let’s try it this way, who cares which of us is right. If your saved and I’m saved what difference does it make how we got this way? EdB |

Joe Yes they were call proselytes and Rahah was a whore from Jericho. Do I dare mention Ruth? Just to name two that also ended up in the lineage of Jesus. The temple had a court yard of the gentiles for those that had not fully converted (not yet circumcised) Joe the interlinear Bible translates John 3:16, "THUS FOR LOVED GOD THE WORLD THAT THE SON THE UNIQUE ONE HE GAVE THAT EVERYONE BELIEVING IN HIM NOT MAY PERISH BUT HAVE LIFE ETERNAL” So once again we see to believe in your theology we also have to learn creative reading. Changing the meaning of words, verses, and overall nature of the Bible. The translators of the KJV, NKJV, NIV and NASB were all in a conspiracy to make Calvin look bad. Your making this laughable and I will not be drawn into this. EdB |
