Yes, they are beloved on account of the patriarchs.........but it also says right there in the same verse that they are enemies for the gospel's sake. It is unfortunately true......though we desire only good for them, and above all that they might know their true Messiah. The firstfruit and...

Yes, I agree that the laws of western civilization were based on or influenced mostly by the bible. ( The concept of democracy came from the Greeks and Romans though, if I recall.) Nevertheless we have to distinguish and SEPARATE between governments and the church. Distinguish between the holy...

It is not what the person does, so much as what the Lord does by His Spirit. But our part is to believe in our heart and then confess with our mouth.

Jesus said what does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his own soul? What matters is their spiritual condition, not physical land and geography. Physical land only determines where they will live for this short little life, but their spiritual condition determines where they...

It's good to read and take note of all that was written concerning when God sent Nebuchadnezzar/Babylon to take over, and those faithful Israelites who like it or not found themselves living and working in "Babylon", how they lived and responded to the king, etc.

Just goes to prove that politics belong to the world, not the kingdom of God. And these scandals were not known to the public at the time they were elected though, were they...if they had been, I strongly doubt those men would have been elected. My point is that Christians (as well as society...

It's through the "foolishness of preaching"..........it's the POWER of God unto salvation, rather than being a method or formula to follow.....it is not with wise words of man. If we receive the truth and word of God when it is preached or when we read it in scripture then we have received the...

But can anything or anyone stop what has been prophesied to happen? Out of the frying pan into the fire.......what if this is just a matter of trouncing and replacing one worldly system with another, which in itself will receive its own trouncing in the end. A sinful, unrepentant nation crying...

Sister....regarding the gold statue....Yes. And Who was it that gave Nebby his position and power? So we must also learn from Daniel what our reaction and demeanour should be to all of this.

Amen.....nothing new under the sun......it goes back a very long way, as you know. Babel and Babylon. It is the way of the world, and governments/politics/rulers are of the world......as well as it is of churches that are or have become worldly. Man trying to establish his own righteousness...

I haven't seen it used that way personally, that I can remember, brother. It usually means to be at rest in the Lord so that He can work. Otherwise we are trying to do things in the flesh. When we are at rest and submitted to to God, He will take over in the situation, according to His will...

Yes I believe so. Like the old saying, "Let go and let God".......as the scripture says to be still and know that He is God. Give up, surrender to HIM is the message I see: Luk 14:31 “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he...

as in...."buy the truth, but sell it not."

All you have to do is open your eyes, look around you and see how this world is under the sway of the devil. The Lord has been opening my eyes wider in recent times. I could wish I didn't know what I know and were a child again, oblivious to the evil. Deep darkness indeed covers the...

Amen. The OT is full of types/shadows/allegories for spiritual things. The church's warfare is spiritual warfare. We are not wrestling with flesh and blood...........Israel's enemies in the OT serve as allegories for Satan's hordes of demons that always seek to destroy the people of God...

Incorrect? It is what God's word says. But those who haven't received Christ and His Spirit can't perceive the paradoxes of spiritual things. The devil has been defeated and Jesus is the rightful ruler, but Satan being the rebellious and disobedient creature that he is continues to defy the...

I don't like seeing how things are going any more than anyone....but should we be surprised that iniquity/transgression is coming to the full? As difficult as it is to watch and live through, it was prophesied to happen, and the Lord is still sovereignly on His throne. There is a harvest of...

This whole world is under the sway of the wicked one (the prince/god of this world), as John wrote. It is Satan's kingdom....that is why it is appointed to wrath - for good reason. I'm only recently really realizing and facing just how wicked this world is.......because the rulers of it, the...

If you are talking about the believing Israelites (early church) who fled as Jesus instructed, and who God provided a way of escape for them just before Jerusalem fell, then amen. Amen. Yes, if we're talking about believing Israel. But unbelieving Israel though they might be considered to...

Wow, the bible in the hands of flesh sure is dangerous. But God knew it would be. It is one way of separating sheep from goats, wheat from tares. The violence we see in the OT serves to teach spiritual lessons to those who belong to Christ........because our warfare is spiritual, not carnal...
