Second Corinthians Twelve: 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago— whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows— such a one was caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows; 4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. When passing through the veil, one experiences spiraling filaments of light which vibrate with "a Voice", the words of which inexpressible, but contain visions and revelations for the fully committed servant of God. These revelations only come in the midst of patient endurance through suffering. The Third Heaven is not a place outside of you, it is an experience, a transition that becomes more and more familiar to those who enter in. 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Ah...a new pleasure principle in Christ, not found in the pew. How very much apostolic doctrine is ignored to avoid this Truth. Second Corinthians One: 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ. 6 Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 7 And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation. Please excuse me while I pray for your afflictions to come, and your endurance by which you enter the arms of the Comforter.

Exodus Twenty-Nine: 42 This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord, where I will meet you to speak with you. 43 And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by My glory. 44 So I will consecrate the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. I will also consecrate both Aaron and his sons to minister to Me as priests. 45 I will dwell among the children of Israel and will be their God. 46 And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them. I am the Lord their God. There is no longer an earthly tabernacle to draw near, by which a devotee can attend unto the Presence of the Lord. The Cross of Christ has torn the veil of the Tabernacle, but only in the Resurrection to newness of life can the devotee now draw near. Hebrews Six: 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20 where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews Ten: 22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: 37 For as yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.” 39 But we are not those who draw away to perdition, but of those who believe unto the saving of the soul. As it was with Israel, so has it become in the Ekklesia. Isaiah Twenty-Nine: 13 Therefore the Lord said: Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men, 14 Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work Among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.” And so a call has gone out to the nations Isaiah Forty-Five: 20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. 21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. 22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

The Hebrew word for the number one [ehad-H259] is also used to establish the first in a succession, and a unity of existence and purpose. First Use... Genesis One: 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day. Four verses later, it is used to designate separation and unity. 9 Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. An important application therefore is the use of 'one' to designate 'first' in the keeping of a Biblical Calendar. Exodus Forty: 1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. The firstlings required for sacrifices designate the lamb or kid be of "the first year". Leviticus Twenty-Three: 19 Then you shall sacrifice one kid of the goats as a sin offering, and two male lambs of the first year as a sacrifice of a peace offering. Establishing a caveat: Second Samuel Three: 13 And David said, “Good, I will make a covenant with you. But one thing I require of you: you shall not see my face unless you first bring Michal, Saul’s daughter, when you come to see my face. A Simple "you go first"...

Is there any value to the study of these topics, or are they just an excuse to be puffed up with knowledge, rather than devoted to the edification of the Body of Christ? First Corinthians Eight: 1-3 Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him.

AI Overview Kabbalah, a form of Jewish mysticism, is a tradition within Judaism that explores the hidden meanings and spiritual depths of the Torah and the universe. It's characterized by its esoteric teachings, often passed down through oral tradition, and its focus on understanding God's nature and humanity's relationship with the divine. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Key aspects of Kabbalah: Focus on Understanding God: Kabbalah aims to understand the nature of God, exploring His attributes, actions, and the relationship between the divine and the human world. The Sefirot: A central concept in Kabbalah is the Sefirot, which are ten divine attributes or emanations through which God interacts with the world. The Tree of Life: The Sefirot are often visualized in the form of the Tree of Life, a symbolic representation of the universe and God's creation. The Zohar: The foundational text of Kabbalah, the Zohar, is a commentary on the Torah that offers allegorical interpretations and insights into the divine realm. Oral Tradition: Kabbalah is traditionally passed down through a master-apprentice system, emphasizing personal study and guidance. Practical Dimension: Beyond the theoretical, Kabbalah also involves practical aspects like rituals, meditations, and techniques for connecting with the divine and influencing the world. Tikkun Olam: A core Kabbalistic concept is tikkun olam, or "repairing the world," which emphasizes the responsibility to correct imbalances and contribute to a more just and harmonious world. Esoteric Tradition: Kabbalah is considered an esoteric tradition, meaning it's not meant for general public knowledge and was traditionally reserved for those with extensive Torah study. In summary, Kabbalah provides a framework for understanding the deeper spiritual and mystical dimensions of Judaism, offering insights into God's nature, the universe, and humanity's role in the divine plan. In Biblical numerology, numbers are believed to hold symbolic and mystical meanings, similar to the ancient world's view of numbers as significant. While numbers in the Bible can be taken literally, they are also seen as a means to add deeper meaning to the text, Keen states. Key Aspects of Biblical Numerology: Examples: One: Represents God the Father, divine completeness, and primacy. Three: Symbolizes the Holy Trinity, divine wholeness, and perfection. Four: Often associated with the four corners of the earth, the four gospels, or the four directions. Seven: Represents spiritual completeness, the sabbath, and the completed work of God. Ten: Can be associated with the Ten Commandments, God's law, and moral boundaries. Twelve: Represents the twelve tribes of Israel, the twelve apostles, and the completeness of God's people. Forty: Symbolizes a generation, a full period of time, or testing and preparation. Not Divination: It's important to distinguish Biblical numerology from the occult practice of numerology, which is considered divination and is condemned by God, according to JW.ORG. Symbolic Meaning: Numbers are not just quantities but also symbols that can convey spiritual concepts. Divinely Inspired: Numbers in the Bible are seen as divinely inspired and not arbitrary, Keen explains. Important Considerations: Context is Key: The meaning of a number can change depending on the context in which it appears in the Bible. Avoiding Overinterpretation: It's crucial to avoid reading too much into numbers and losing sight of the core message of the Bible, Quora explains. Biblical Principles: The Bible provides principles that guide how we view numbers and other aspects of life, Christian Perspective emphasizes. Romans Fourteen: 13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.

Colossians One: 24-26 I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. 27-29 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.

Revelation Two: 10 Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.” First Peter Five: 1 The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed: 2 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; 3 nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock; 4 and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.

Psalm One Hundred Eleven: 2 The works of the Lord are great, Studied by all who have pleasure in them. 3 His work is honorable and glorious, And His righteousness endures forever. 4 He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; The Lord is gracious and full of compassion. The Memorial of God's Work in us is our testimony. The Remembrance of our Testimony brings glory to His Name alone. First Peter Four: 12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. 14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.

13 Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, 14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men; 16 as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God. 17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

Ephesians Two: 19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. Philippians Three: 20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ The Holy Spirit establishes a clear compare and contrast to take the measure of one's standing in the Household of God. A citizen of heaven should show to the world as a pilgrim sojourner. Hebrews Eleven: 12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore. 13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14-16 For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

Atonement through animal sacrifice brought reconciliation without justification.

Second Thessalonians Two: 13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, 14 to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle. First Thessalonians 1: 2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, 3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, 4 knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God. 5 For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake. 1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

First Corinthians Two: 9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 16 For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

First Corinthians Thirteen: 1-3 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 4-6 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love Never Fails

Ephesians Four: 30-32 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Colossians Three: 12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

John Ten: 17 “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.” First John Tw0: 24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life. First John Five: 11-13 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. 20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. John Seventeen: 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. You have the power of eternal life, when you lay down your life for the Elect, that you may take it up again in Christ.

John Eleven: 21-24 Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.” Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” 25-27 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” 40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”

Revelation Twenty-One: 22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. 25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). 26 And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. The Glory of the Lamb is "the greater glory", such that all who are denied access to the city abide in "outer darkness". 27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

While the Lord is glaringly missing from the narrative of Esther, some see in the golden sceptre of the king representing God's Favor as "a Sceptre of Righteousness". Esther Four: 11 All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that any man or woman who goes into the inner court to the king, who has not been called, he has but one law: put all to death, except the one to whom the king holds out the golden scepter, that he may live. Yet I myself have not been called to go in to the king these thirty days. Five: 2 So it was, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, that she found favor in his sight, and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter. Thoughts?

To be clear, not "somethings", TRUTH. John Sixteen: 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. Alas, only to be forgotten...your truth not mine. Or is that to be disputed also?

Not if you are oversight. Was there none in the OP? Could you double check? Again, what does he say in "in part"? Everything but Love. Every scripture that you cited concerning what will be "remembered no more" pertains to the cares and burdens of this life. Not the life in Christ. These are perpetual memories. You remain implacably in error. You statement insinuates that what I have posted was not supported by scripture. Of course, there was practically nothing but scripture in the OP#1. You reserved the right to ignore the OP and share whatever came to mind, from what? The Title of the thread? You have not addressed it at all. That in spite of every effort to elaborate. What is difficult about this? This statement posted above includes more scriptures concerned with Christian experiences, beyond belief. If I have no recollection of this conversation, I will not be surprised. Edification is the normal standard.

What is that which is in part? But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. Love never fails. It is this perfection we seek in this life "as an experience", that will not be taken away. First John Two: 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. First John Four: 10-13 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. Luke Ten: 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

"Truth Is Known By Experience, Quoting Scripture w/o is to Testify Against Yourself" For yet another example, Someone claims "I am a born-again, Spirit filled Christian." If he is found unworthy of such a claim, and is only stating by rote something taught or read about as a part of a religious orientation, then the testimony in contrary to Truth. There are clearly stated 'experiences' by which we are assured. Experiences such as this: Colossians Two: 2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Hebrews Six: 9-12 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

The only reason I am not ignoring you is that it is not allowed. You choose to speak for God here? God instructs us that we can know Him now, in this Age. You think you are going to forget those experiences? John 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
