Not correct. The same exact two words are used at the beginning and at the end of John 4:1 -- "After these things/μετὰ ταῦτα ... after these things/μετὰ ταῦτα."

True, it has been translated "these things" vastly more times that other ways, but it has been translated in KJV 6 times this. But, you still have the wrong verse noted...

Jesus must present his blood of sacrifice "for the people" "a second time." Which is why He is portrayed as the Slain Lamb

I respectfully disagree. I think the "without sin" means without a sin offering. Hence when He comes, He is coming to make war with the nations and has a name written, that no man knew, but He himself.  I do believe that His name is relative to His purpose of coming. For his name "Yeshua" meant deliver, "for He shall save His people from their sins." This name I would believe has something to do with God's vengeance...

Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

I was just reading in Genesis 3:14. 
 

Doesn’t this tell us when satan was removed from heaven? He is now relegated to the earth until the end of time. 
 

As I mentioned, for me, I have to start at the beginning … 

 

No, it just says the serpent was “cursed,”no mention of Satan/ the Serpent being cast out, just the “man”(Adam)

So he drove out “the man;”and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

I am more inclined to think and actual serpent which had yielded itself to Satan was cursed, simply by the nature of God's judgment. Simply because God wasn't yet justified in the Spirit of all the accusations Satan made before the angels, and to Eve against Him.

God could curse Adam, Eve, and the Serpent since He created them IMHO after the rebellion in heaven. But as of yet, He had not proved Himself to be worthy of all glory, honor, and power.  But once He did, justified Himself, then Satan was indeed condemned and cast out.

I thought he was eating the dust of the earth… 

do you really believe sin in the form of satan can be accepted into heaven again?

I don’t think God has to prove He is worthy to not allow sin in heaven.

I think both Adam and satan were removed at the same time. Now, both walk the earth.

And at the end of time, Jesus will return to the earth and I believe it may be in Revelation that “sin will never rear its ugly head ever again.” Meaning, to me, Gid would never allow sin in heaven and now, He will destroy sin forever that exists on earth. 
 

What do you think? Thanks, Charlie

God doesn't have to, of course. But He does.

What was God justified of? Don't you have to discredit your accuser and prover yourself innocent is you are going to convince the jury?

What was He justified of?

And what about Job.  Job 1:6,7 - One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came with them.  The LORD said to Satan, Where have you come from.  Satan answered the LORD; From roaming through the earth and going back and forth on it.

So Satan's primary residence is the Earth, but able to be in Heaven.

Rev 12:12 - Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them.  But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil/Satan has gone down to you.  He is filled with fury, because he knows his time is short.  The last 3 1/2 years or 42 months of the 70th Week.

He has been in Heaven and able to accuse the saints since Pentecost.

In Christ

The Greek text stands authoritative, not your preferred translation.

I still don't understand where you are coming from.  My 'preferred translation' isn't THE translation at all, it is using the word God used. 

The TRANSLATION from the word 'this' IS the 'these things', isn't it?  It isn't the other way around, is it?   If so, how does that go?


I don't think it was written in the way we speak today for a specific reason.  I believe God uses specific words for specific meanings and that should never be changed especially if it is ever to try to show and/or prove 'what God meant' OVER 'what God wrote'.  As we can see here 'after this' and 'after these things' lead us down two different paths.  Wouldn't that make God the author of confusion?  

Would you agree it was indeed Christ that was found worthy to open the book as the Lamb of God slain, and that came BEFORE the churches in Asia were established?  If you do they you would have to agree that the Word goes into some history before going forth with the future

So, is it my preferred TRANSLATION here or is it yours?  I gotta stick with the word used by God and not the translation of it into my language even if it means we have a different understanding...as we both know...all will be revealed.

If you could please let biblehub know they have made a mistake here so they can correct it because my Greens Interlinear does have it a little different...they have it as 5023...but what does THAT give us?

Please explain why since Pentecost and what verses lead you to believe Earth is his primary residence.  I think I agree with you here, but I can't recall what verses speak to it.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
