Thank you JacobMartinMertens for your question about: "And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles...And if the family of...

"for as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." It seems like Jesus is saying that Jonah is a picture of the the Son of man who went to the cross and was 3 days and nights before being...

"I and my Father are one." (John 10:30)

Thanks Nehemiah6 for mentioning the gospel. I do not know anything about the first part of your post in reference to a public figure. What I would like to respond to, instead, is your realization that the gospel is one gospel. I agree that the gospel is one gospel and I enjoyed that part of your...

Thanks Deep-Truth for your enjoyable post. Notice at the second touch from Jesus the Bible says that 'he saw everything clearly'. This compares very favorably with verses from John 16: "25These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you...

Thanks George71, for your comments. The woman who is seeking the coin is not lost, so she could indeed be the Jerusalem above, since she is not the one who is lost. The coin is the one who is lost. To say that someone is the Jerusalem above is just another way of saying the church, the true...

Thanks George71, for your question about these verses: "Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together...

Thanks Leeloving for your question. The Bible says that the wages of sin is death. Everyone has sinned so the Devil was able to accuse people of sin (with a death sentence) ever since Adam. The Bible says that death reigned from Adam (Romans 5). So, the devil was very effective at accusing...

"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. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the...

Thanks Grace_Ambassador for bringing up this interesting point about whether being saved by Christ means we are to be physically in perfect health. The Bible is written in an interesting way. God calls it a 'parable' way. We read in Psalm 78: "Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your...

Thanks Walter and Debbie for reminding the believers "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. " (KJV) This is a very important message, since many persons interpret scripture in a very physical way, when it is really meant to provide a picture of the...

Thanks Walter and Debbie. A really excellent Psalm. When I hear the line about God's mercy enduring forever, it always makes me think of how those he saves he saves by his mercy, and that merciful salvation is forever for the persons being saved.

Thanks Nehemiah6. Here's yet another scripture where liberty and love are linked: "For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. "

Thanks Walter and Debbie for your statements. It must be that you are thinking of Exodus 31:13: "Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth...

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." This means that when a person is given the ability (by God) to believe on Jesus for salvation, he/she is...

Thanks Gideon300 for your response. Your response is the closest to my view of the coming of the Holy Spirit in this case. While it is true that the fire is not actual fire, but only "like as of fire ", the term 'fire' is still used and so has meaning, just as the 'form of a dove' did in your...

"And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." What is the fire here representing? Why fire? Also, why cloven tongues?

Thanks Lifted_By_the_Word for your comments. Rev 12:1 is one of my favorite scriptures. I see the sun as being a picture of Christ. We read about that in Psalm 19: "In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to...

Thanks JohnB for your posted question: What did Jesus mean when He said, "this generation will not pass?" I read the reference writing that you gave to answer this question. I thought it was a reasonable attempt to explain the verse. Still, I am not convinced that it has eliminated another...

Thanks JohnB for your comment. Many people claim that the Bible talks about rebuilding an actual physical temple building. However, I encourage you to consider what the Bible says about its own scripture. We read: "Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.I...
