You do the same things many do ? You try to stand on one scripture , dumping those other i gave you!
Howdy Spirit1st!
On the Contrary. I do not stand on one verse of Scripture. I stand on three verses of Scripture. On top of that, I even showed you what the Scriptures said that I stand on.
Spirit1st--Your saying , for Odd REASON GODS turning HIS church over to satan?
According to God's plan, The Church of God must be purged. And, In this Church, 2/3's of the congregation will die according to God's plan in Scripture. Where does the Bible say this?
Zechariah 13:8-9.
8. And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
9. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
New Testament Reference for
Zechariah 13:8-9 is
Matthew 23:39.
Matthew 23:39 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.
You see Spirit1st, There is the Church of God The Father. See
Acts 2 and
Acts 7:38. And, There is the Glorious Church of Jesus Christ The Son. See
Acts 15:14 and
Ephesians 5:27.
Satan cannot come against and prevail against the Glorious Church of Jesus Christ The Son. But, God allows satan to make war with His saints, The Church of God The Father, and overcome them in
Revelation 13:7. This is how God fulfills the Prophecy of
Zechariah 13:8-9.
Spirit1st--Do you understand what your saying?
I understand totally what I am saying and I am showing you Scripture to back up what I am saying. However, with kindness, I really don't think you understand what I am showing you even with the Seed Covenant of Abraham right before your very eyes.
1) The Seed of Abraham multiplied as the stars of the heaven.
2) The Seed of Isaac multiplied as the stars of the heaven.
3) The Seed of Jacob multiplied as the dust of the earth.
You see, Spirit1st,
Acts 7:38 talks about
the Church in the Wilderness. This Church is God the Father's Church and members of this Church are identified in Scripture as
Saints. The Church in the Wilderness is the Seed of Jacob multiplied as the dust of the earth.
Acts 2 is a continuation of the Church in the Wilderness of the Old Testament and this Church in
Acts 2 is the Seed of Isaac multiplied as the stars of the Heaven as prophesied by God in
Genesis 26:4. Because, They believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah.
Today, in this time right now, We have the Seed of Abraham multiplied as the stars of the Heaven as prophesied by God in
Genesis 15:4-5 who is the Glorious Church of Jesus Christ. See
Acts 15:14,
Ephesians 5:27, and
Galatians 3:7.
So, When you look at
Revelation 13:7, Who do you see? You see the Seed of Jacob multiplied as the dust of the earth being purged by God and God uses Satan to do just that.
Zechariah 13:8-9.
And, Those Saints who survive this purging by God become the Seed of Isaac multiplied as the Stars of the Heaven and enter into the Millennial Kingdom after Jesus Christ returns to this earth.
Spirit1st--Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them:
Now with your thinking? MY LORDS going to let satan have his evil way with His church [Body]
Think it about it? That make any sense ?
According to the Seed Covenant of Abraham above, Yes, Absolutely this makes sense.
God The Father allows Satan to overcome His Church so that God the Father's Church can be purged according to the Prophecy in
Zechariah 13:8-9. That is the Church of
Acts 2 that is continued in
Revelation Chapters 6-16. See
Acts 7:38.
And, As you can clearly see, The Glorious Church of Jesus Christ The Son is not purged. We do not need to be purged. Therefore, The Saints in
Revelation 13:7 is the Church of God the Father. Not Jesus Christ.
Spirit1st--Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Many will be saved during the great tribulation!
Absolutely. By the Preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom as prophesied by Jesus Christ in
Matthew 24:14. See
Revelation 7:1-8.
Spirit1st--Salvation does not end just because we leave here!
Oh, I agree with you here on this point. However, The Operation of the Holy Spirit does change. See
Revelation 7:3.
Spirit1st--Many will see ,that they missed out and must live though this evil time on earth!
Some will live through this time, but, Many will die by being beheaded. See
Revelation 20:4.
Spirit1st--Many who does not know the scriptures well and how to battle these demons!
Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge
satan nothing , just a liar and deceiver.
I agree.
Spirit1st--Rev 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
WE see judgment here!
Rev 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets,
WE see judgment here!
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
WE know there is ONLY one judgment day!
My Bible shows me the following judgments...
1) The Judgment Seat of Christ--
1 Corinthians 3:11-15. See also
Romans 14:10 and
2 Corinthians 5:10.
2) The Judgment of the Nations--
Matthew 25:31-46.
3) The Great White Throne of Judgment--
Revelation 20:11-15.
And, None of these Judgments above occur on the same day. Here is a Judgment that has already taken place.
Matthew 27:52-53 and
Ephesians 4:8. See
John Chapter 20 for the details.
Spirit1st--Show me where else in the NEW TESTAMENT , That JESUS had given power over His Church ?
Jesus does not allow satan to overcome or prevail against His Glorious Church. But, as I have already stated, God the Father allows satan to prevail and overcome His Church so that the Church of God the Father can be purged according to Bible Prophecy.
Spirit1st--I only want to be pleasing too my LORD JESUS CHRIST!
Then, You must do the following...
Live by the Law of Faith,
Romans 3:27,
Live the Law of belief,
Romans 10:9-10,
Live the Law of the Spirit of Life,
Romans 8:2,
Live the Law of Study,
2 Timothy 2:15, and
Live the Law of Prayer,
1 Thessalonians 5:17.
Spirit1st--Living or dying means nothing to me!
Well, Living should mean a lot to you. Jesus died in your place so you could live.
John 10:10b. Living means everything to me in Jesus Christ.
Spirit1st--Serving Him and obeying Him is all that counts to me!'
Serving Jesus and obeying His Spiritual Laws of the New Testament count for me as well.
Spirit1st--satan will NEVER have power over the Body of Christ Jesus!
Oh, I agree.
Spirit1st--By the way! NO one was born -again in the old testament .They All had to wait in hell for the LORD to die for there sins!
The New covenant and New Testament ,Did not start til the LORD died on the Cross!
I agree. I only pointed you to the Book of Job to show you a point.
God Bless You!
