Thanks Aaron56. I enjoyed your response. I am not sure I would use whatever translation you used for ¨"In us all the world will be blessed." Is that a translation of Genesis 12:3 in a Bible version somewhere or some other verse? King James Version is when God was speaking to Abram and in Genesis...

"And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. " I love the way that the gospel is presented here: "In thee shall all nations be blessed. " The surrounding scriptures speak...

Thanks Mikkadugeec, for mentioning the woman in Rev 12. She is clothed with the sun. The sun in the Bible is a picture of Christ (Psalm 19:4), so she is clothed with Christ. That means she is a picture of the true believers. The true believers are clothed with Christ's righteousness, not their...

Thanks Peacefulness. Each time I find myself anxious I just tell God about it and ask for the things I am hoping for if it's in his will. So many times i have reason to thank him when those things work out.

Thanks Komentaja for your question about 1 Timothy 4:10: "For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. " Here is a possible explanation. The term 'all' is used in the Bible to mean those...

Thanks for asking. Well, the Bible calls testimony about Jesus prophecy. We read, "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit...

Thanks SilverFox7. The word Philippi means 'lover of horses'. Horses in the Bible have to do with Jerusalem and the greater area of Judah which it occupies. For example, we read: "for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the...

Thanks for your question. Many persons are familiar with the story of Jonah and the great fish. Jonah is a name that means 'dove'. This person Jonah with the name 'dove' is a picture of Christ. Jesus said, "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of...

Thanks Godswilling for your relevant question. It is relevant because many groups professing Christianity have popularized the idea of speaking in tongues. Unfortunately, what is called speaking in tongues in these groups is not particularly what is meant by scripture in that regard in my...

The context is actually the opposite. It is what Christ did once he was raised. He died in the flesh on the cross and then he was dead for 3 days and 3 nights and then he was resurrected. He was raised from the dead and gave his spirit to preach the good news. The actual context of the verse...

Those who have not been born again are spiritually dead and need to be quickened. They walk around in the flesh dead spiritually until they are made alive in Christ spiritually.

Thanks ewq1938. I appreciated your scripture Acts 2:31 about Jesus' soul was not left in hell, and Ephesians 4:9 about Jesus first going into the lower parts of the earth. Indeed, there is not an area of evil or torment that Jesus has not gotten victory over. He went all the way down...

Thanks Chaps for your interest in whether Jesus went to Hell or not. "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison...

Thanks for mentioning the good news. I see the entire Bible as being the good news. The spirit emphasizes various aspects of the good news, but these are not separate good newses or separate gospels. Anyway, it is good to point out the various aspects of the gospels as you have, showing various...

Thanks Dreamdweller for your question. There are some misconceptions in popular views on this subject. Giants refers to humans, not creatures that were part of what people incorrectly presume angels to be and part human. We read in Genesis 6:4 about the sons of God coming in to the daughters of...

The significance of the number seven is seen in the sabbath, which is the seventh day. "But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work..." This is a picture of how God does all the work of saving his own, while we cannot do any work to save ourselves...

Thanks MerSee for your question. ""Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" God gives people the ability to believe in Jesus. Before...

Thanks for asking. "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. " This verse tells us that part of Israel will be blind all the way...

Thanks for sharing. However, the Bible does not mention a bunch of cultural Jews suddenly converting after the time of the Gentiles. In fact, Romans 11 tells us that the fullness of the Gentiles comes in, and that is it. Nothing mentioned after that. "For I would not, brethren, that ye should...

Thanks for your question. Rev 18 calls Babylon that great city. This is the title of the holy Jerusalem as well in Rev 21. Some persons have probably already noticed this. But did you also know it is the title of Ninevah. The reason people have trouble with chapters like Rev 18 is that they...
