Coming in at the tail of things to quote scripture.

A tad off topic but "I am come that they might have life." (John 10:10) Every time God says I am it's just so beautiful. I am that I am, I am come that they might have life.

Each one of you taught me something, i like the variety of ways this could of been handled. And @FJK "what part of the Bible are you referring to?" is genius response, your a clever @Deborah_ I think the man had little to no understanding of the trinity, based on his public profile he claimed to be a follower of Christ but to follow Christ is to be seeking the Father and welcoming the Holy Spirit. In my youth I didn't understand it either but I learned it a matter of faith first and understanding second, so if his faith is in God and remains there then revelation will come to him eventually. @kwikphilly Amen.

As you read this there's someone who God knows will be with him, but he hasn't been saved yet, born yet, or completed their work. It was said to me, the world is like a computer loading a software God is installing and we think its God who is deciding the time but it's really that we are loading and God's mercy is waiting. But when that program is fully installed the the new Jerusalem will come down from the sky . -Note God is always waiting until a certain group is ready in all of his Revelations, by his good grace he is working with us.

Great question, based on the weapons there are modern counterparts for each listed. Bow & Arrow = Gun, Bullets, Crossbows etc. Shields = Riot Shields Handstaves (N0t sure maybe it's a knife) Spears (Maybe a knife) Chariots & Horses = Millarty suvs etc. Take into account many of the revelations of the bible are given in a symbolic way, example when John saw beast in revelation he did not see the actual country they represent. But more importantly i feel a prerequisite for this discussion is to identify Gog & Magog and it'll shed some light.

That would have been really great to mention

Hello, I havn't been graced to find a church I loved but i have been following through my walk since a child at several churches but mostly online with Doug Batchelor & another called Prophet Lovy. From my understanding after the all the book of revelations is complete in fullness, Gods plan is to revert back to what he originally intended with Eden, for man to rule the Earth with him. It is mostly still a mystery to what it would be like. But i have several biblical truths to give a hint. Jesus prayed that his father will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. (The father rules the kingdom of heaven where there is no evil) Revelations depicts a city coming down from heaven, so it is safe to say heaven is the blueprint and the new earth to be made like it. As far as technology, while God did not preach much about heavens IT department and space explorations agency there story of describes a space vehicle of sorts (chariot of fire) Besides the creator of the universe (God) revealed him self as "I am, that I am" before we knew him as Christ. That phrase is very deep, in short God is in which we need, his creations are expressions of him. His level of detail in creating the universe is unfathomable and all of our good nature come from him (including our love to create technology). We may or not have cellphones, cars, internet, but something better all together . Were talking of the supreme being who made earth, space, time and a kingdom invisible to us at the moment. As far as what we will be doing, honestly not sure I hope its going to be a lot of learning.

So just a few minutes ago I was scrolling through instagram, i came across a post of a christian man asking a few questions... I commented under his video... The pharisees were believers in God who were stead fast to the traditions of their fathers, so when Jesus came to them they did not recognize him. If you could see the Pharisees today, you wouldn't call them evil men but religious and traditional men, then started to answer his question; When they prayed it was directed towards the Father (In the temple of God). Then, I asked him if Jesus appeared to you now will you recognize him, Mary didn't recognize Jesus by face after the resurrection but by his voice. We only know Jesus by his word, we didn't have the opportunity to meet him like they did, so how will you fare when tested? To detour the conversations from convicting the pharisees, to avoiding their same mistake. It's easy to say Adam shouldn't have eaten the apple after reading Genesis but who would have done better than him other than Jesus? The man didn't understand my response and told me I am of the devil, and quoted scripture. He said Jesus and the Father are one so what God told them the revelation Jesus is not the messiah. (He was saying they weren't praying to the father because Jesus and the Father are one.) The man isn't wrong in his questioning but his temper blocked the message I was trying to convey to him. I told him two scriptures... I wanted to declare I am a christian too and God's glory isn't in the words of men but the word that is spirit that gives life and clarity when it is spoken. He was seeking to debate me on other topics after I answered his question. I am sharing this conversation to ask if there was anything I could have done better to answer his question? How would you have answered this mans question? ("Who were the Pharisees praying too?") I'm also sharing this because I feel it's necessary to share something that i felt was made clear to me, it's not all the time that people of the world will be the one who calls you out, but fellow believers who also proclaim Christ. And it is true what the lord said, Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." So I guess in these moments we have to hold our anger and understand we are playing a small role in God's plan for that person.
