523 | REV 11 The Temple stands yet destroyed | Rev 1:11 | Tamara Brewington | 204558 | ||
See Daniel 9 and look closely at verse 24-27, it says that Jerusalem will be rebuilt. Most commentators believe that the temple will be rebuitl at this time and the time is during the the times of distress in Revelation. See Daniel 11:31 where it says that forces from him will arise and desecrate the temple and set up the abomination of desolation. You can't have descration in a temple that does not exist, it has to be rebuit first. It has not rebuit yet and probably won't be rebuilt until the times of distress comes in Revelation times. John doesn't have to mention the temple being destroyed in 70 AD to write about it being rebuilt. As John pointed out to you he was to write down what he saw, not what we want to know. Another thing to factor in is that John would naturally assume that his readers knew that the temple had been destroyed and would not need to mention it. God Bless, Tamara |

Yeah John I do find it very interesting as we are currently near the end of studying Revelation at church on Wednesday nights. I welcome the enlightenment John, I really do... :):):) I have been thinking a bit about elements of the Preterist view and thinking about how Jesus talked about both the fall of Jerusalem and the end times at once in Mathew or so they say, I mean some say... My trouble has been when regarding any type of view that espouses any part of of Revelation past chapters 2 and 3 has happened yet is that the rest of what is supposed to happen rather consecutively seems to have been broken up by more than 2,000 plus years. The problem with saying that the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD is that it is supposed to coincide with an appearing of Christ which did not happen, contrary to the veiws of those who like to say it was Christ appearing as Christ's judgment appearing. I like to take the tack as someone so graciously directed me to do and which my pastor gently reminded me of to not read into a passage double prophesies that the author never intended, or which logically can be refuted based on historical and or Biblical evidence. I like it when you do this John, make me think I mean. :):):) God Bless hat lady |

Dear John, Tell me my dear good man, which part of Daniel's prophecy? Chapter 7,8,9,13 or other? Mathew 24:1-2 is indeed talking about the destruction of the temple and then the disciples ask when will it happend and when will Jesus come. So we know that Mathew 24:1-2 has already happened. Jesus addresses their concerns about His coming back in verses 4-31. Jesus addresses their concerns about His coming in verses 36-44. I don't agree that He addresses both parts of the question. He never addresses one of their concerns because the disciples have mistakenly placed together His coming with the fall of Jerusalem. Verse 34 has often been used to denote that the whole discourse was about their present generation, but it may well be referring to the generation of those who will, in the future near His coming be undergoing the great tribulation. According to verse 14 the gospel has to be preached to all the world before any of what He is saying can take place in the discourse as being the end. The gospel has not yet been finished being preached to all the earth yet, so the end has not yet come in order for all the various elements of the discourse to be applied to the first century. I don't think there is a break there, just my opinion. Like many other times Jesus does not answer the whole question, only the part He is interested in them knownig about. I am going to keep thinking about this. Say I wanted to say to you that you were the only one to answer any question I posted from Tuesday morning beyond a short reply and I appreciate the time you took to answer.:) Ain't tryin to complain, just grateful. God Bless hat lady Yeah John I don't want to be slippin and slidin with that inquisitive mind there. |

527 | Make a Decision | Rev 3:20 | Tamara Brewington | 205164 | ||
Dear Hoppy I am sure John will get to you in due time... In the mean time, the passage says up in verse 18 that the discourse was about the church at Thyatira... The message about Jezebel was to the entire church at Thyatira and was about a woman named Jezebel in the church who was calling herself a prophetess in that church. She was teaching a false gospel and leading the church members astray and leading them to commit sexual sins and to eat foods sacrificed to idols. These were both part of pagan idol worship practices, to have open sexual encouters of fornication or adultery and to eat food sacrificed to the pagan idol. You need to take the Bible and interpret it literally, it means exactly what it says, there are sometimes symbols or allegories, like when Jesus says I am the door, but this is not one of them. There was a real woman with a real name who was doig real things and the church, the whole church was to take real action, period. There is nothing that you need to reinterpret or re-apply here, it was a message to that particular church about a particulare situation in that church. God's Day to you, Tamara |

528 | Is God opens doors no man closes in bibl | Rev 3:20 | Tamara Brewington | 205233 | ||
Dear chessshores, This is another Word of Faith teaching that has absolutely no basis in scripture at all. Joyce Meyers and Benny Hinn and other Word of Faith teachers like T.D. Jakes and Paula White use this phrase all the time, but you won't be able to find it in the scripture because it is not there. This is another example of the Word of Faith teachers and preachers taking scripture and twisting it to mean what they say it means taking it out of context away from the author's original intent. Here is an example of how Joyce Meyers and Paula White, for example twist the scriptures to say what they want them to say. They start out with one verse and then misapply it to a next verse making a connection that does not exist. Here is an example; Ephesians 2:12,13 remember that your were at that time separate from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. This is the first thing they try to establish; that we were once strangers to the covenants of promise, but now by the blood of Jesus we have access to the covenants. This is where they start off, with the truth, but then they veer off from where they start and take another scripture that is about covenantal promises made to specific situations and specific groups of people and mis-apply them for today by reinterpreting them to fit their twisted theology. Here is what I mean; Numbers 25:12 Therefore say, 'Behold, I give My covenant of peace; and it shall be for him and his descendants after him a covenant of a perpetual priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the sons of Israel.' The second thing these Word of Faith preachers try to establish is that once a person has been granted access to the covenants of promise that they can access all of the OT convenants. covenants that are not about the covenant of Abraham about faith, but all the other covenants given to Moses, to Noah and the smaller covenants given to individuals, as the covenants given to Israel and persons in Israel. This is a specific covenant promised to a specific person, Phinehas the son of Eleazar, made by God, and it does not apply to all peoples at all times that they shall receive this specfic peace offered to one priest who made atonement for the sins of Israel. more to come, Tamara |

529 | Is God opens doors no man closes in bibl | Rev 3:20 | Tamara Brewington | 205234 | ||
continuation, Tamara After they establish that belivers by the blood have access to all covenants from the OT they seek to establish that all believers because they are priests can have the promise granted to Phinehas. I Peter 2:5 You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. While it is true that we are all priests in the priesthood of Christ, and while it is true that we have access to the covenantal promises of faith, and while it is true that believers are granted peace between themselves and God, these Word of Faith preachers take it all a step beyond this. They tie in having access to the convenant of faith by the blood, being in the priesthood and being granted peace between us and God with the concept that believers are to take the covenant granted to Phinehas and speak it out loud in order to release the power of God to speak peace to your ruined health, ruined life, ruined ministry, ruined finances telling you that God will speak peace to your situation if you speak out loud the promises of God and allow God to move on your behalf. The covenant of peace between God and Phinehas was specifically about the other covenant of a perpetual priesthood granted to Phinehas and his descendants and was not about a ruined life, or a ruined health, or ruined finances, or a ruined ministry, it was about God granting peace instead of desctruction and about granting one man and his family a perpetual priesthood and does not apply to other situations or people at all. It is true that God can and will fix ruined things, but not by appropriating the covenant of peace and a priesthood granted only to Phineahas... The next things these Word of Faith preachers say after finishing their excited and flambouyant presentation of this wild illustration is, "God opens doors that no man can close, by His Holy will and sovereign power, He will release the convenants and promises of God into your life by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ by the level of your faith!" This twisting scriptures to fit their twisted theology that your lips as a priest will open up and appropriate any old promise or covenant of God and that by the power of your faith God will act on your behalf and fix any old thing because you are under the blood and God loves His children and has given them many many promises and covenants that apply to them and belong to God. Benny Hinn, T.D. Jakes, Paula White, Joyce Meyers, Peter Popoff, and on and on they are all getting rich and powerfull because people love to hear false teaching that tells them how to get things and fix things and how to have a better life with much less suffering. And it is all false doctrine every bit of it, from the fake healings to the healings by the power of the devil, to the healing oil of the devil, to the green prayer clothes of the evil one, to the fake manna to heal you by the power of the devil, the fake no evil oil, the instantaneous dental work by the power of the devil, the prophecies by the power of Satan about peoples personal doctor's name and diagnoses of illnes without prior knowledge, it is all the work of the devil - here is why, they are doing all these so called Charismatic gifts while preaching a myriad of false doctrines to support what they are doing, and if they are preaching false doctrine and then performing many miracles that are real, then their power is from the devil himself, by their fruits you shall know them, but first check the doctrine, if it is false then so are the miracles a product, although they may be real of the devil and not God. I want you to really start listening to what they are preaching, all these people that you so admire in minstry and start to ask questions in here about what you are hearing and seeing and start getting some real sound doctrine so you can see what is the truth. You are being deceived my dear and it shows, I say this in love for the sake of your soul to pull you back from the brink of spiritual destruction. Learn the truth and keep it. Test every word you hear against the Bible, if you can't find it, I bet you are a fine Bible student, it probably is not there at all, but is a false teaching. God's day to you, Tamara |

533 | Great star? | Rev 8:10 | Tamara Brewington | 204049 | ||
This is a different star, this star in Revelation 8:10 is probably going to be a meteor and not Satan the fallen angel. The purpose of this star is not to go take a key and open up the bottomless pit to let demons out as in Revelation 9:1. The purpose of this star is to destroy a third of rivers and springs and the men who drink of these waters will die. God Bless, Tamara | ||||||
534 | Five months? | Rev 9:10 | Tamara Brewington | 204047 | ||
When the Bible makes plain sense seek no other sense or it becomes nonsense. The locusts, commentators say are demons with stingers and they have the power to hurt and torment for 5 literal months, but not to kill, that is how long the effect of one sting will last. Five months means literaly five months, take numbers literaly in Revelations, just like other numerical prophecies came true in the Bible, so it will when Revelation comes true. God Bless, Tamara | ||||||
535 | Angel of the Abyss? | Rev 9:11 | Tamara Brewington | 204048 | ||
Most commentators see the falling star in Revelation 9:1 as being Satan. The angel of the abyss in 9:11 is Satan because he is the king over the demons who were locked in the pit. Satan has a spiritual kingdom of demons of which he is king and is called the angel of the abyss. He is given the key to where some of the demons are locked and he lets them out to torment for five months. We call him Satan, in Greek he was called Apollyon, in Hebrew he was calle Abaddon. Isn't it interesting how God will use Satan to do the 5th trumpet judgment? God Bless, Tamara | ||||||
536 | Similar verses? | Rev 10:1 | Tamara Brewington | 204438 | ||
Dear Thomas 8, Not all of them are not connected, some of them are. Revelation 10:1 I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow as the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud was on his head. His face was like the sun and his feet like pillars of fire. This is talking about a mighty angel. Ezekiel 1:28a KJVR - This is a picture of Jesus as God on the throne in heaven not an angel. Rev 1:16 Jesus face like the sun - Jesus is God not an angel. Dan 10:6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. This is seen by most commentators as being Christ and not the angel Michael. Revelation2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass. This is describing Jesus. There are several times where Revelation will say and they another angel, this always means a next separate angel. There are several times where Revelaiton will say a mighty angel who are given descriptions similar to those given to Jesus in some way or other, but it means an angel and not Jesus. There are several times in the OT where Jesus is described as having a raingbow around Him and this has no connection to where angels have something similar described of them in Revelation. These kinds of descriptions of both Jesus and angels is talking about some sort of glory they possess as angels also have states of glory that they are in which can be seen with the naked eye according the account of John in Revelation and Daniel and Ezekiel in the OT. |

537 | why would satan present himself to the L | Rev 12:10 | Tamara Brewington | 205499 | ||
Dear interestedinthebible08, See Revelation 12:10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salation, and power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before out God day and night. Do you see that? That is talking about Satan the devil, coming to the thrown of grace both day and night to accuse the brethren to God to condemn them. I Peter 5:8 Be sober of spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking to devour. See that the devil goes prowling all around the earth seeking who to devour. Now let's look at Job together... Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. The Lord said to Satan, "From where do you come?" Then Satan asnwered the Lord and said, "From roaming around on the earth and walking around in it. The Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job?" For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil." The discourse goes on, but this is enough. Satan had been going about the earth, walking around, prowling around, seeking whom he could devour. He comes to the throne as he would if he had someone to accuse, as he does day and night, but that day, he had no one to accuse... God knows all about Satan and his ways, how he goes about seeking for someone to devour and how he shows up every day to accuse whomever he decived into falling. God sees that Satan is not accusing anyone that day, so God says, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil." Do you see what was happening here? Satan had no one to accuse, but God wanted to challenge Satan to a duel of wills over Job. Don't you think God knew that Satan would start off immediately and try to accuse Job of having it easy as the reason why Job stayed good? That is why Satan says all those things about how God is protecting Job. But God was counting on that he would do that, God had a plan in mind. The plan was to allow Satan to hurt Job and test his faith by tempting him to curse God. God won the duel of wills. The sons of men is an expression often found in the OT that meant angels. Satan went to the throne along with God's good angels for an audience. Hope this helps, Tamara |

538 | What is the job of the false prophet? | Rev 13:11 | Tamara Brewington | 204745 | ||
Dear Jilly, See Revelation 13:1-18 first, the first beast is the Anti-Christ, the second beast is the False Prophet. But first must come the beginning of the Great Tribulation and the seventh seal of the judgments of the six of the seven trumpets; hail an fire burning up a third of the earth, a third of the sea turning into blood, a third of the sun moon and stars being struck making the earth dark for a third of the day and a third of the night, a literal eagle preachig woe woe over the earth, Satan falling from heaven and opening up a bottomless pit and loosing demons to torture but not kill for five months, four fallen angels released to bring three plagues to kill a third of mankind, and then the two witnesses who get killed and the raised from the dead after three days. All this happens in chapters 8 through 11 in Revelation. The job of the False Prophet is to deceive mankind with the power of the Anti-Christ and Satan to perform real miracles in order to make men worship the Anti-Christ. See Revelation 13:11-17, see Revelation 19:20,21, See II Thessalonians 2:3-4 where it talks about the Anti-Christ. The False Prophet makes people worship him and together the False Prophet, the Anti-Christ, and Satan form the unholy trinity in a mockery of the triune God, that is the other purpose of the False Prophet. God Bless, Tamara |

540 | Define wine, please? | Rev 17:2 | Tamara Brewington | 204175 | ||
Dear Thomas, 1)The word wine as in intoxicated is used consistently as #3631 in the NT as the only word listed. 2)Contrary to modern belief the wine at the Lord's supper was not watered down, see how in I Corinthians 11 they were getting drunk at the Lord' supper? 3)When Jesus changed the water to wine it wasn't watered down and we can assume He was drinking it along with the guests. 4)At the Last supper Jesus and the disciples were drinking real wine, not watered down wine. 5)At that time in history the water was largely no good and while it is true that sometimes wine was watered down to ensure that the water was cleansed and drinkable real wine was common at the supper table unwatered down for everyone. 6)There may be a term in Koine Greek for watered down wine, but you won't find it anywhere in the NT. God Bless, Tamara |
