Bible Question:
"...all who took them captive have held them fast..." Shall I understand it as on one hand, the Israelites and the Jews encountered oppression from ALL (first the Egyptians, then the Babylonians....the Nazis) for the reason that they are God's people; while on the other hand, all believers (in a broader sense of God's elect) shall also encounter persecution from many as what Jesus has taught beforehand. Therefore, the key is not the oppressors but the Elects (all believers) are not of the world? Hope I have explained myself clear. Shalom Azure |
Bible Answer: Hello my Sister, If your question is. Are we, as believers, not of this world? The answer is, yes, we are not, of this world. See you in the next one, Sister! :-) God bless John P.S. something I have known in my heart from the moment I was born again! |
