John Gmuer Just curious where in scripture it says that the Holy Spirit raises anyone from the dead??? John 6:39 This the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day. - Jesus raises??? peacebestill |

John Gmuer Here is some more from John MacArthur on the subject. John MacAruthur, The MacArthur Bible Study Commentary, page 968 to 969, par. 3. The daily sacrifice. This reference is to the end of the daily temple sacrifice, previously allowed under a covenant which the Antichrist formed with Israel, which he later caused to cease in the middle of the final seven years (9:27). Then favorable relations give way to persecution. Even his abomination that desecrates the temple (as 9:27; Mat. 24:1; Mark 13:14; 2 Thess. 12:3, 4) is accompanied with persecution. one thousand two hundred and ninety days. From the instrusion of the abomination, there follow 1,290 days, including 1,260 which make up the last three and one-half years of the final seven years (see note on v.7), then thirty days more, possibly to allow for the judgment of the living subsequent to Christ's return (cf. Matt. 24:29-31), before millenial kingdom blessings begin. I personally am wondering where this covenant with Isreal comes from that he is speaking about? I present this, not as what I think, but as a possibility... peacebestill |

John Gmuer I have heard of the seven peals referred to as the vioce of God pealing like thunder from the throne of God. I have heard of the seven peals of thunder referred to as seven even more powerful angels than the one crying out in verse 3 to which they responded. But I think when the Bible doesn't tell us in the scripture right there, or in another scripture about the same we can't know and are only guessing which is not exactly good. peacebestill |

John Gmuer I do not think the two are related, two different trumpet sounding events. I would say that we can't know when the Rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 will happen because Revelation does not say when it will happen. Also the whole point of chapter 10 is to illustrate some things; that there was a prophecy revealed to John and the angel, but not to us, that God was going to have the seventh angel sound out the finality of His plans to end the world and institute a new one, and that John was being told to prophesy again concerning the peoples, nations, tongues and kings. peacebestill |

65 | "Mystery of God" Rev 10 | Amos 3:6 | peacebestill | 208390 | ||
John Gmuer As this man has studied for far longer than I could ever hope to see if you like this; John MacArthur, The MacArthur Study Bible, page 2012, par. 3 The Mystery. A Greek term meaning "to shut" or "to close". In the NT, a "mystery" is a truth that God concealed, but has revealed through Christ and His apostles (see notes on Eph. 3:4, 5; cf. Rom. 16;25). Here the mystery is the final consumation of all things as God destroys sinners and establishes He righteous kingdom o nearth. as He declared. This mystery, though not fully revealed, was declared to God's prophets (cf. Amos 3:7). I heard it taught once not to divorce the word mystery from the words is finished in the same verse. This makes it mean that the mystery is the finising of the things of God, as in the end times completion of His plans to end the world as it is and set up His eternal kingdom. In this sense the mystery means that in the seventh angel sounding it is signifying that the completion of God's plans is at hand, and as God's will is decided beforehand, the beginnnig of whatever He has decided will happened all ready contains its end. So the angel sounding the trumpet is signifying God's plan as finished, finito. peacebestill |

jada Took me a couple of days, but I found this for you. Exekiel - read chapter 28:14-16. I found out in my searches that a whole lot of commentators have applied this whole passage to be about two characters in the Bible, the king of Tyre, and Lucifer becuase it can be applied to the actions of both and God's actions towards both. peacebestill |

67 | What is the meaqning of 'sealing?' | John 6:27 | peacebestill | 208377 | ||
Azure The concept of the train of thought is this; Colossians 1:19 For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him. - first part; Jesus disguised His deity and was still God and not really a man: This would make Jesus as deciever so this understanding of Colossians 1:9 is false. - Jesus is completely Man and completely God. Second part; Jesus became fully human as a real Man, He was still God but gave up independant use of His attributes - examples; Mark 9:21 And He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" etc. - Jesus as God is omnipotent but chose not to know as Man and had to ask the question to find out the answer. Mark 13:32 But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. - Jesus as an omnipotent God subordinated Himself as a member of the sovereign Godhead to choose not to know a thing while in the state of being Man. Third part; Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and etc. - it was not until He became full of the Holy Spirit that He was ready to go be tempted by Satan - Luke 4:14 And Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about Him spread etc., verse 15 And He began to teach etc. Fourth part; question, is it possible to do the works of the Father without the power of the Holy Spirit operating through one? No. When did Jesus receive the Holy Spirit and when did He begin working? He received the Holy Spirit in the Jordan and not before, then He went to work the works of His Father after He returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit and He began teaching in that same power. To give you a more direct answer to your last two paragraphs - Jesus had that He as God in eterinty past made full use of His powers. When He came down to live as Man He did not lose any power, but He set the use of it aside until a time came to put it back on to do the work. He never stopped being a Sovereign member of the Godhead with the FULL ABILITY to use His powers, but He chose for a time to put them down. When He got baptized in the Jordan in Luke 3:21 we see exactly what you said, that there was an expression of God the Father Himself bearing witness of Christ as the Son of God, the Messiah. But according to Luke chapter 4:1, 14 there is more to recieving the Holy Spirit than just a recgonition by the Father because the word power does not mean simply power but miraculous power in both verses. In fact in verse 37 of the same passage it says that He was doing miracles by this same miraculous power, the same power He recieved in the Jordan, the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit revealed in Luke 4:14. However I would be careful in clarifying that and say that He could have chosen to use His omnipotent powers any time before the Jordan, but He did not as a choice on His part to subordinate Himself to the Father, and that in doing so He also chose to receive the Holy Spirit in order to put back on the fully divine nature that He momentarily for 30 some odd years put off. I think the Jordan is more than just two things though, I think it is also an example to us, just as Jesus subordinated Himself spiritually and physically to the Father in order to recieve the power of the Holy Spirit, so also we too submit by His example to the same things He did before working for God. I look forward to your response on this as I am interested in the studied opinions of others. peacebestill |

yearegods God is a holy God everything He does, everything He feels is holy. Now, we on the other hand have jealsousy as a bad thing, generally, and rarely is it righteous, like maybe if your spouse commits adultery, then it might be being in the right to feel that way, but generally when we feel it, it is a wrong reaction. God doesn't have any rivals to be jealsous of or something, He is not jealous of someone, but about someone, us... He is jealous about us being His and when we turn to something or someone else, that is sinning against Him in a big way. Exodus 20:5 You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me. peacebestill |

Thomas I think the nature of seals is that God puts the Holy Spirit into the equation, like when Jesus received the Holy Spirit in the Jordan River, and then we see Jesus having been given the power to do His whole ministry. But I also think that when it comes to us the way the seal of the Holy Spirit works is very different because we aren't give the power as a human to save people as God. We are given the promise of salvation, and the power to witness; Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation - having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise. Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the uttermost parts of the earth. In Revelation 9:4 it talks about not harming those who have the seal of God in their foreheads - so they must be the saved. But I think unlike the seal of salvation as the Holy Spirit, and unlike the Seal on the Son to give eternal life, here the seal is a visible mark put by God on the foreheads signifying that they are His, that they are saved by the same method and process we are with the seal of the Holy Spirit inside, but this is different, signifying by an outward visible seal mark that they are not of those who have the other visible mark of damnation. peacebestill |

70 | Are these the same people? | Rev 7:15 | peacebestill | 208316 | ||
Thomas Sorry I have been in here a while without posting and reading stuff and mistakenly thought you were some one else... It appears from the 7:15 passage that the ones standing before the throne were dead believers in heaven from the Great Tribulation serving God. It seems as if the passage 6:9 is talking about martyrs, but it does not say what time period they are from. It could be that they are all the dead from time immemorial, the OT and the NT saints, plus those in the Great Tribulation, it is just not clear... Perhaps if the Bible is silent, we can't really speculate too far? But look here at this part of it; the end of verse 9 and because of the testimony which they had maintained, and verse 11 where it says that they were told to rest a little while until the rest of their number should be completed - this is as if the dead there are waiting for more of their own kind to come in. And since this is taking place during the tribulation, that goes to that those under the altar are also from the tribulation, making them the same kind, but not necessarily the same exact group as you find in 7:15. peacebestill |
