Revelation Chapter 8 The First Trumpet As we had briefly outlined in our previous posts the early church had the beginnings of the wrong attitude which eventually led to the oppressive false church state system, composed of the beast and the image. So for that reason we think that the very...

Revelation Chapter 8 The First Trumpet VERSE 7 (NAU) “The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.” The mingling of...

John 15:16 - "You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you." Many Christians never progress beyond the basic principles of the gospel: others --...

From Coronavirus Crisis to Economic Crisis July 10, 2020 | By Yiming (Minghui.org) The coronavirus (Wuhan pneumonia) crisis is not yet over, and the people in China are already being hit with an even more severe crisis—the economy. Housing prices and rental incomes have fallen, but monthly...

Romans 8:11 - "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you." As the dead body of Christ was given life and brought out by the Holy Spirit, may we be...

In this present season, the Body is experiencing, they are crossing the Red Sea. But some are too tired to cross the Red Sea, because they have exalted themselves, and they have left themselves weary. Others will run across the Red Sea, because they have exalted Him, and have refreshed...

Have as little to do with the world as you possibly can. Things of the world have a glutinous quality; if you let the heart lie any while amongst them, it will be enslaved to them. Be more and better acquainted with Jesus Christ; get nearer to Him, be more in communion with Him -- get more...

Revelation Chapter 8 The First Trumpet One Third Taken Away = .666 etc. Another reason for the conclusion that this trumpet is showing us something bad, was an interesting observation that was made in regard to the adjective “one third”, that this and the next three trumpets have as a part of...

Revelation Chapter 8 The First Trumpet Having taken a brief look at the first interpretive viewpoint we would now like to examine the second interpretive viewpoint, which interprets the trumpets as showing how the false church was corrupting the truth. VERSE 7 (NAU) “The first sounded, and...

1 Timothy 2:1 - "I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them." Luke 6:28 -"bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." When we bless someone, we are, in essence, saying, "May all of God's good plan...

When we made Jesus the Lord of our life, we were reborn from death to life. First John 5:1 says, "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." Being born of God entitles us to citizenship in the kingdom of God. In Luke 12:32, Jesus said, "Fear not, little flock; for it is your...

Hebrews 11:1 - "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." The way we use the word "hope" in everyday speech and the meaning of hope used in the Bible are two different things. When we say "I hope so" we simply mean "I desire or I wish." Bible hope isn't...

(Click here to read Part 1) Overreach? Keller says the Elder Brother was trying to use his obedience to the father to control him. He says: One reason I included the full text of the “Prodigal Son” parable in Part 1 is so you could reference it. Feel free to scan it again and see if you...

I wasn’t sure what I felt about “The "Prodigal God" until the very end of the book. Until then, I alternated between being in vehement denial of the author Tim Keller's assertions (thinking he made arguments which were a "stretch") to feeling completely enlightened & "fully sold" on the very...

Ezekiel 37:5 - "Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live." While Ezekiel was in the Spirit, it came to him to prophesy to the dry bones and say "O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord" (verse 4) and he saw an "exceeding great army" (verse 10) rising up about him. What is...

As the daughters of Jerusalem sitting or remaining in their chambers, closets, houses, could not behold the glory of King Solomon passing by, and therefore that were willed to come forth out of their doors: even so, if we will behold the great King Jesus Christ, in his most excellent glory (a...

James 4:8 - "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." 1) Believe that you are loved and cherished by God, and that He deeply longs for intimacy with you. 2) Believe that you have been drawn into intimacy through the finished work of the cross. Let all striving go, and believe that you...

Galatians 2:20 - "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me." Satan wants us to feel alone and abandoned. We are never disconnected from the Lord because He lives in us. We don't always feel the presence of God but He is always in us. We stay...
