Hi thanks..
Chickenpoop in the coop..LOL names can hurt. Sorry if I do offend
I have not ignored them they as examples for our benefit display they had the power of the treasure of the Spirit of Christ in their earthen bodies as Christian do today .
Signs follow prophecy. They are not to be sought after as shadows. They are against those who faithless rebels against prophecy as the one source of faith. . . . the one source of Christian faith as
it is written .
Another point there is a difference with a sign like a sign of times , and a sign and wonder or a sign as a wonderment . we are to marvel like when we first believed a person must be given a new incorruptible spirit as born again( marvel not)
I would of thought after confirming the sign in respect to the law in 1 Corinthians 14:22-23 You might have a different understanding. It would seem you stay away from the meaning of; "yet for all that they refuse to believe" as a sign that confirm something??? .Its foundation as the doctrine of tongue is found in Isaiah 28 . Is that foundation destroyed by a unknow tongue? Do you speak in unknowns?
Two kinds of signs. Like many things the counterfeiter desired to turn it upside down to take away the understanding of God. What God calls separate... he call it as if one .What God's darkness, he calls light. I call him the upside-downer, counterfeiter, hypo-critter god of this world. God says one thing the god of this world says the oppositter. LOL
Signs that lead (Chicago 17 miles ahead take exit 192. and signs that follow . You have just left the Chicago city limits .Milwaukee 67 miles ahead.
Sign are used to move people who do not beive the woirds of a unseen Godsign that move what prophecy could not.
Exodus 4:1-7 King James Version (KJV) And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice:
(prophecy) for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee. And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it. And the Lord said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand: That
they (
Not the prophet believing Jews) may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee. And the Lord said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand
was leprous as snow. (dead) And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh. And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the
first sign, that they will believe the
voice of the
latter sign.
The later sign. The killing off of the first born it moved the Pharaoh one who represents the god of this world .This world is represented as Egypt the land of bondage.
Exodus 4:8-9 King James Version (KJV)And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
Numbers 17:10And the Lord said unto Moses, Bring
Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token
against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
Numbers 20:10And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye
rebels; must we fetch you water out of
this rock?
Establishing the written law in the new testament looking to its foundation in the old as two witnesses. Tongues in respect a sign is not to them that believe prophecy. . . . the tongue of God , but to them that have no faith that will move them. (yet for all that they will not hear) So declaring the word of God prophesying the gospel : serves not for them that have no faith that comes by hearing prophecy the word of God , but for them which believe prophecy .not signs and wonders seekers to confirm something. as a work performed . Jesus called them a evil generation, natural man who has no choice but to walk after the flesh
1 Corinthians 14:20-22 King James Version (KJV) Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
