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...

Yes, it was......for those not under grace. Don't you want to be under grace? And do you remember why King David was not permitted by God to build Him a temple? There is a lesson there for the church too.

Well, we really shouldn't be surprised at this world being a wicked and evil place (and will remain so til the end of time when Jesus returns and it all burns up)......but the Lord is sovereignly ruling over it all. We're not wrestling with flesh and blood but with powers and principalities in...

Ezr 9:8 “And now for a little while grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a measure of revival in our bondage. Isa 22:23 I will fasten him as a peg in a secure place...

Rom 2:28-29 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. 2Co 5:16...

Nebuchadnezzar was great. King of Babylon.....lion of Babylon ridden by the sex cult goddess Ishtar....and all that implies. What is esteemed by man is abomination to God.

What do you mean?

Phl 3:17-20 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and...

1Co 2:12-14 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual...

If anyone thinks that contradicts all the scriptures which speak of the end of this world they better try again. That passage is fulfilled to Israel in the spiritual/heavenly realm only through the gospel. The promised land was the land of rest from slavery and bondage......allegorically it...
