The Bible does not specify the length of each of the creative periods-in a measurable way for humans to understand. Yet all six of them have ended. (Genesis 1:31) However, with respect to the seventh day, God proceeded to rest, indicating that this “day” has continued. (Genesis 2:1-3)...

Revelation 17:9 explains who/what comprises the symbolic beast is partially described at Revelation 17:3. Revelation 17:15, 17, 18 explains why the “wild beast” began to “hate the harlot” is described at Revelation 17:6. The “woman” or “harlot” depicts/represents the world’s false religions.

Note 1 Corinthians 2:6-8; 2 Timothy 2:24-26 of which support and help explain 2 Corinthians 10:5.

According to Bible linage, Mary and Elizabeth were certainly related. However, according to The Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible, “the term is too broad to be of help in determining their precise relationship.” For example, compare Luke 1:36 and Collisions 4:10. The Greek word used in...

What Jehovah’s Witnesses, as well as other institutions may explain, I am not aware. However, I carefully read this scripture twice and see a difference. 1 Corinthians 8:6 (a) says: “…out of whom all things are….” 1 Corinthians 8:6 (b) says: “…through whom all things are….” This is similar...

Cain and Abel married one of their sisters or nieces.-Genesis 3:20; 5:14. Compare Genesis 20:12. This arrangement was common until God gave to Moses specific laws regarding further unions of marriage.-Leviticus 18:9.

Jesus came to fulfill the Law and to make the teachings of the prophets come true. His coming was a guarantee that their prophecies-for example-concerning him and the restoration of paradise on earth would be fulfilled. Since he fulfilled the Law, it was no longer binding between the Jewish...

I strongly support your post and can add more detail for those interested. J

The “wise men” that you mention is not scriptural. They were astrologers or magi-either of which-under the Mosaic Law-the Israelites were not to consort with. Considering this, why would “divine” intervention lead them to Herod (Jerusalem) first and not to Jesus (Bethlehem). Actually, it...

QUOTE="thelord's_pearl, post: 1023689, member: 10381"]I think it was these 2 characters I read in the bible in the past. Jacob got the birthright deceitfully and became great. but did he get any punishment for being deceitful though he became great? Thanks all Abraham was still living...

The account-starting at-at Revelation 12:6 is referring to the birth of God's kingdom with Jesus at its king. At the time that John penned this book, it was a prophecy for the future-not at the time of his ascension. I believe that this fulfillment has been fulfilled in this modern time...

Constantly pray in order to develop and maintain accurate knowledge so that you may be able to discern "false prophets." Consider the following scriptures-although many and not inclusive-that mentions false prophets; and, or how to recognize them.-Deuteronomy 13:1, 2, 5; Jerimiah 6;13-15...

What do mean: "Can you say me it..." What does "Else ahmed" mean?

I I agree:)

What do the "locusts" in Revelation 9:3, 7-10 represent? Please provide scriptural reference-if possible-to support your responses. I know of scriptural references on this subject, but I am interested in other opinions.

If you feel that God knew that Adam would sin, would that not make Him a murderer? Of course, that is impossible.

Reflect on the scriptures given. They may-for a start-help to answer your question/concern.-Isaiah 55:7; Jeremiah 31:34; Ezekiel 18:21-27.

I seems to me that seeing "the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom" was fulfilled-through a vision-by three of Jesus' Disciples: Peter, James and John.-Matthew 17:1, 9. Yes, the fulfillment literally had not taken place; however, they heard the promise made and that-in actuality-is good as a...

At 2 Timothy 3:16, the Apostle Paul stated that "All scripture...beneficial for teaching...." I feel that the accounts in the "Old Testament" gives a clearer understanding of what God's personality is like, what he hates/despises, his merciful forgiveness, promises, and perfect justice and so...

I believe/understand that “Israel of God” is not referring to the fleshly non-believers of the nation of Israel-as a whole, but to the believers of the Gentile nations. At 33 C.E. (Pentecost), they began the start of a new nation- a spiritual one-referred to as the Israel of God.- Matthew...
