    Previous generations, have been summarized by us - we *also* will be summarized, by generations that come after us! (looking?)

    Hi there, So Solomon says at length "as it was, so shall it be" (in Ecclesiastes) and Christ Himself says "this generation shall not pass away, until all these things are fulfilled" (gospels, from memory) - what is it, that happens from generation to generation, if we both come to be and...

    God is quick, but can He do something, for a long time? (patient?)

    Hi there, So this is a simple thought experiment: God can be quick, but can He do something for a long time? Now, there is quickening in the Holy Spirit, that's true. You can suddenly find you have an ability to do something well, when previously you found it difficult. However, that...

    God shortens the Days, but He prolongs the Moment (need time?)

    Hi there, So this is actually a very simple thing, that is reflected in John 1:1. John 1:1 says "in the beginning was the word, and the word was God and the word was with God". What's happening here, from God's perspective? What is happening is that time is slowing down: the word is introduced...

    The persecution of the poor is universal, don't just get rich, get generous! (for God's love?)

    Hi there, So I will just declare it straight out, in my nation, I am considered poor. Now what that means, in my nation, is not that I don't have luxury, but that I don't have the same type of luxury as others. I know, crazy, right? The thing is, I have been facing this issue (of being poor)...

    Jesus said "Father, that they may be one, as We are" - is Jesus saying 'I am a paradox just as My Father is, which you can be part of'? (suggestions?)

    Hi there, So I have really been perplexed by what Jesus was saying in John 17, when He prays for the faith, saying "Father protect them through your Name, those that you have given Me, that they may be one, as We are". I guess the question I am asking is "that they may be one what?, as We are...

    The World will discover, that the mark was already taken - Jesus revealed the mark on the cross, but did not boast (reminisce with me)

    Hello there! So, there is a simple fact, at the heart of the tribulation: the mark the anti-Christ tries to take, is the mark that was already crucified, by the Lord Jesus. The anti-Christ is the man of sin, but the mark of sin, was already taken by the Lord. This causes the anti-Christ to...

    The Bible says "in everything, get Wisdom"; what 'Wisdom' do I need for growing old? Rush less? Eat less?

    Hi there! So the Bible isn't so much for 'old age', it talks more about the young not growing weary and the elderly having dreams - which granted is important, but I would like something that gives context to the importance of old age in general. "The child reaching a hundred shall be blessed"...

    The world is trapped in its iniquity, not willing to accept that the Lord was bruised for them (selah)

    Hi there! So there is a strong need, at the moment, for the world to hear the bruising, that the Lord suffered, for their iniquity. Iniquity traps the world, such that it does not think there is a way out. There is a way out: Jesus, who was bruised for our iniquities (Isaiah 53:5). What we...

    The tribulation is overcome, when Christian conduct yields to God (foreshortening the days). Discuss.

    Hi there, EDIT: SUMMARY, The three gifts of the Holy Spirit on Earth - hardiness, character, patience - come from trust, prayer, waiting. These three things deliver from tribulation on Earth. So caveat: I am not sure this is in the right forum. What I want to discuss, is how we approach the...

    Time occurs, in the space provided for God's Spirit - no space provided for God's Spirit, no time (discuss).

    Hi there, So I guess it behoves me to set out why it is that refusing to give God's Spirit space, is not wrong. Refusing to give God's Spirit space, is not wrong: if you all the work of the Holy Spirit to be finished. The point is, if you haven't given God's Spirit space, you should wait until...

    The dolphin sleeps with half its brain, at a time. Q: What is it thinking is Evolution, when its been asleep two different ways? (Discuss.)

    Hi there, So yes I got an absolute pearler of a question, for you: I mean there has to be a focus, right? If all a dolphin is is 'evolved', then its evolution is going to vary depending on which half has been asleep, in which way? There is no denying this makes sense, dolphins have a brain as...

    I never understood the phrase "Jesus is God", until now: "Jesus is God Crucified". Praise the Holy Spirit!

    Hi there, So I have never really understood the phrase "Jesus is God"; I knew for example that Jesus humbled Himself, even when He could have claimed He was God - but I thought to myself "If He doesn't want to be known, as God, how can He be God?" You can see that I would be in a fix, if I...

    What does God say about EVOLUTION?

    Science is one thing...but we should also "render to God the things that are God's." Matthew 22:21 I'm no expert in science, and yet there are experts and there are experts, just as there are natural and spiritual. God has given us a world of time and dates and a mind to examine it all, and we...

    Corroboration of Chronology by the Tabernacle

    1 Cubit = 25 inches It will be noted that the entire length of the linen curtains surrounding the courtyard (Shown in green) beginning from the south side of the gate (B.C. 4126) traveling all the way around until we come back to the north side of the gate (A.D. 2874) is exactly 280 cubits or...

    What did God do alone?

    It is certain that God was alone for a time, for he alone exists eternally, nobody was with him before the created was there, so what did he do alone, what do you think?

    MORE WAR ON CHILDREN

    I read yesterday that the women in the workforce are the highest that it has ever been. Around 75% of them. So it seems that the priority of families today is money, work, and careers. Now, where did I get this strange idea that children and their needs came first? I never ever left home with...

    Multitasking or Living Better

    Multitasking was a word I first heard with Windows OS. When I was young and the computers weren't so popular, I often heard people say something like this - "Do one task and do it properly" or "Jack of all trades and masters of none" These days it seems to have become quite opposite. People must...

    The True Bible Chronology, the “Times and the seasons”, Part 8

Let us now examine the final two periods of chronology recorded in the bible beginning with Link # 24 in the...

    The True Bible Chronology, the “Times and the seasons”, Part 7

    “The Period of the Judges” continued from previous post. Thus far we have a total of 301 years, this is confirmed by Jephtha. Thus two thirds through the judges God confirms that our process is correct. In Judges 11:26 Jephtha points out that Israel had possession of Ammon’s land for three...
