1 John 3: 8

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Matt 23: 39

39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

This verse makes me think they will have to accept Jesus before they can be saved.

Yes, I agree that those bombs certainly are similar to what the Lord will do. 

I think we tend to think of `worship` as physically bowing down to those idols of gold, silver etc. However, just think of our materialistic society with its fixation on `gold, silver, ` and things they have made of `brass, stone and wood. ` Their `worship` is what they give their time, energy, focus and desire to, the motivation of the heart. 

Thanks Marilyn c

In world war 2 the 2 bombs dropped on Japan caused the same thing as in Zec  14:12. just a note not saying The Lord will use one.

Question; Do you know of people/groups today that worship Idols like in Rev 9:20-21?

Can you explain what you mean there, NConly? Just interested.

a person legally entitled to the property or rank of another on that person's death

The above is how I understand the definition of heir.

However God lives for ever so for Jesus to become heir and us co-heir seems something is different about the definition of heir.

Then throw in sayings like everyone is in mid 30's in heaven.

then descriptions of God sometime make it appear he is aging which should not be

Heir is very confusing for me. It seems to have a different meaning on earth than in Heaven.

Deu 18

15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

This sounds like Jesus to me. What do you Think Marilyn C

That`s really good that you check God`s word with God`s word and not just what a translator has written with his bias.

 

Translation Errors of `Holy Ones.`

Jude 14,  Deut. 33: 2,  Zech. 14: 4.

 

The New American Standard Bible has `holy ones`

The New International version has `holy ones.` 

The Message Bible has `holy angels.` 

 

The New King James has `saints.` 

 

My KJV has Angels it is not a NKJV

And thank you for reading and thinking of that interesting question. 

Another point. As far as I can see Turkey goes with the wind. It wanted to be in NATO and then it allies with Russia and Iran, and it also wanted to be the leader of Islam. 

That is what made me ask because they are very much into Islam but were not named with them. And the fact that The whole forum is not seeing my question. I am more comfortable one on one than group. thank you.

Certainly, a good question. Turkey will be part of the Russian Federation that comes down to the mountains of Israel, pre- trib. It will not be part of the 10 king Federation of Islam.

It was part of the old Soviet block. Even though those countries seemed to have become independent they still have the same philosophy and ambitions. 

 

Turkey is with the Russian Federation.

`Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops ..` (Ez. 38: 6)

Gomer was a grandson of Noah and Togarmah was Gomer`s son. (Gen. 10: 2 & 3) They settled in what is now Turkey and the north region of Turkey.

Thus we see that the President of Turkey is also involved. Here we see the 3 Presidents, of Iran, Russia and Turkey. They are working together, (they say) to help bring peace to Syria which is strategically right next to Israel. Thus, it is an important nation to oversee.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

Hi mabel,

Yes there seems to be unrest in the Russian camp. We`ll have to wait and see what happens. Don`t think anyone else would dare take over from Putin, but then what have we just heard. 

Now, when God deals with the armies of the Russian Federation and Iran, then the world will be saying "Peace and Safety` at last. Thus, the beginning of the trib. (1 Thess. 5: 3) however, the nations will work together with this `Peace Maker` from the Middle East, and everyone will think that the enemies, (Russia and Iran) are now gone so `Peace.` 

The Peace Maker will only be a regional leader at first, (Iraq, Syria and Jordan) and then over time will become the leader of the Islamic Federation. All leading to being the final Global leader. (next blog).

 

As to the feet and toes being iron and clay, meaning they are strong and weak. The Sunni and Shi-ities have been fighting for centuries, but the Peace Maker will bring them together because they will recognise him as their long awaited Messiah.

I went to my local doctors recently (for coughing a bit) and was seen by a new doctor. His name seemed Middle Eastern, so after the examination I asked him if he was from the Middle East. He said from Iraq. Well, then we had a great discussion of all that was going on over there with the building of Babylon and their new world class port for large ships. I talked about what the Bible said and he talked about what the Koran said as to their Messiah, who they see is even now preparing himself.

Amazing....

May I ask why Turkey is not in the 10 Countries?

A church I was going to for a few months made some sort of deal with chiropractors. there were two that were in business together and they came in and talked a good talk about pain and healing. That lead into them telling they can be cured of pain with 1 to two years of regular visits. I watch as they checked people and gave out the number of visits for each person. Each person needed 20 to 30 visit ranging from 2500 dollars to 3500 dollars and set up weekly and with some monthly payments to cover the bills they signed up for. So I left that church.
