Hello @bbyrd009, Forgive me, but I don't understand. :) In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @amadeus, You appear to be spiritualizing this, yes? Bringing it into the realm of the believer's life experience, in Christ Jesus. Rather than viewing it as describing powers and events prophetically, which will take place in the course of world history. In Christ Jesus Chris

@amadeus @n2thelight @Bobby Jo Thank you all for your contribution to the subject of the thread. I cannot comment on anything said at the moment. Perhaps later today I will have had time to consider everything carefully, and be in a position to comment. I just want to acknowledge your...

Hello @Hidden In Him, The 'presumption' you give voice to, is not mine, my friend. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Hidden In Him, I believe that in Ephesians 5:18-21, we see the evidence of a spirit-filled believer. * We see something very similar in Colossians 3:16, concerning the word of Christ dwelling in us richly:- 'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and...

Hello there, @Hidden In Him, :) 'And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with...

'For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. (1 Cor 14:31-33) Hello there, @Hidden In Him, :) You...

Hello @Hidden In Him, Of course not. :) However it was Israel that required a sign. 'For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom...

Hello @Hidden In Him, The signs were for Israel, to bring them to repentance, and to acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ as their Messiah and King. They were also a foretaste of millennial blessings, as part of the New Covenant, given for the same purpose. However, when Israel failed to repent...

Hello @Hidden In Him, The Body of Christ, is the fulness of Him that filleth all in all. It needs nothing more. * God, in Christ, does not manifest Himself in supernatural works and wonders in this present day. Those manifestations were for the purpose of confirming the person and work of...

Hello @Hidden In Him, Not the Church which is His Body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all. Whose membership is known of God alone. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Soverign Grace, I agree with you concerning the word, 'Rapture', to describe the event described in 1 & 2 Thessalonians: it is not Biblical. However that does not mean that the event so described is not true. It has to be true, for it is part of God's Word written. In Christ Jesus Chris

'For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, ... ... ' (1 Thessalonians 2:13a) Hello @Hidden In Him, Those who deny the truth of what is...

Hello @Hidden In Him, I am disappointed, for I thought you were going to 'police this thread': that serious consideration may be given to the verses you raised from 1 Thessalonians 4, namely verses 13-18. However what I find is largely personal opinion and conjecture, which was what you sought...

@Bobby Jo @07-07-07 Hi there, Thank you both, but I must confess to feeling confused now. :) I will work my way through the relevant scriptures, and take time to process everything. In Christ Jesus Chris

Thank you, @Bobby Jo, I am sure you could: and if you are able, I would be glad to receive them. :) In Christ Jesus Chris

Hi there, The first fact that I have found concerning the Beast of Revelation, is that there is a comparison that can be made between Genesis and Revelation in regard to the Beast, with Nimrod:- * Nimrod: a rebel and ruler, anti-God, the founder of Babylon (Genesis 10:8-10) 'And Cush begat...

@Jay Ross @Enoch111 @Bobby Jo @Philip James Thank you for your input. Interesting facts both Biblical and secular. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Jay Ross, I was simply expressing my feelings, about the nature of the times, but I am not seeking to reach conclusions. :) What I want is input from those who have studied this subject. However, I intend to do my own study (God willing) and then I will be in a position to contribute...

'And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, "Who is like unto the beast? [therion = a wild beast (G2342)] Who is able to make war with him?' (Rev. 13:4) Hello there, In the days in which we are living I can envisage a nation...
