Eliakim...means "God will raise up." Philadelphia...means "brotherly love". So then...."God will raise up brotherly love." or....God will raise up those who display brotherly love. We are to love as Jesus loved after all. Thought to add this as a side note... :)

Those who "accept" Jesus are hearers of the word. They may even listen to sermons all day. But only the doers of the word are justified. So then the hearers think they are Christian...making "Christian" a noun. But Jesus only calls "Christian" a verb. The situation is "tense".

...only DOERS... You'd think people would understand that. Jesus is the most ignored leader in history.

This is vain religious babble of course. The Mafia believe that Jesus paid for their sins. Believing that Jesus did something good....doesn't change what you are...unless you do something about it. But the devil convinces many that to do anything = works. So these get intimidated by the devil...

When Jesus was presented by Pilate to the people...together with Jesus Barabbas.... there was a great pressure from the religious establishment to cry out for the release of Barabbas... (at least in the movies). To be seen as a follower of Jesus would have been seen as very bad. So much so that...

The phrase "key of David" is mentioned only twice in the bible. Once in each testament. And that is for a reason. God does this kind of thing to teach us something about His will. It is an instruction with a dire warning. The 2 places that the key of David is found....is Is. 22 concerning...

We can't figure out how to walk in the Spirit. It is the fruit of putting on Christ. It is a gift from God....by being ACCEPTED AND TRANSLATED into the kingdom of His dear Son. We can get closer.....but it is God who allows the entrance or not. We can follow from a short distance...but we must...

That's right. Saved can mean a variety of things. It can mean salvation unto honour....or shame. Or just barely saved...

Some people...:rolleyes:

OK I'll start a thread...called "The key of David."

Azazel:escape goat Satan? That is a Jewish "fable". We see the same type of thing when Jesus is presented to the people....together with Jesus Barabbas. But it represents the Bema judgment.

An opinion....but not in the bible. Jude says ...the blackness of darkness for ever. It is an eternal destiny.

Actually a tent peg. I speak more of it in the thread called "AND".

I don't think so. I take the bible as it reads. The scapegoat was sent into the wilderness to wander there. It is a constant theme in the bible. Even Jude calls them...wandering stars...

Mic. 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

The only ones who can fail obeying the gospel are they to whom it has been committed. To whom much is given MORE is required.

It is akin to David taking the place of king Saul. The church of David and the church of Saul. It is interesting that the name Shebna means nothing at all in Hebrew...but God showed me a mystery here. When it says that a peg will be removed from a secure place...that is the Hebrew letter vav...

I think he is more upset at me. :) But I think he needs to hear the voice that cries out for humility before an awesome God. No one knows the outcome on that day. There will be huge surprises. I pray that they will be joyous ones.

yes. There are always distinctions to be made for things that are moving targets. The truth is alive....and moves. That is why the Christian experience is called "a walk".

No. Outer darkness is one possible outcome for people who hold the truth in unrighteousness. (Rom. 1:18) I try to help people to steer clear of that possibility. It is so important to embrace a true humility. As long as I have breath I will stress this. There is also the righteous nations (of...
