Romans tells us plainly God has not cast away Israel. This is speaking plainly of the nation of Israel, not spiritual Israel.

Romans 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 a God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.

Romans warns those who were grafted in [gentiles by faith, who became part of spiritual Israel] that they should not be haughty.

Romans 11 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

Romans tell us of the blindness of Israel towards the Messiah. This will continue until the “fulness of the Gentiles has come in”.

Romans 11 7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: 10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. 11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

Romans 11 25 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.

Romans tell us all Israel will be saved as it is written.

Romans 11 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. 29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. 33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? 35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? 36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

The Gospel is the power of God unto Salvation to the Jew first, then the Gentile [Greek]!

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

The Jew will join with the Gentile, by faith, in Gods kingdom.

Romans 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Colossians 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

The nature of the Jew and the gentile, both are brought to God the same way. Neither one has it over the other, for all are under sin. But God loves them all, and through Yeshua {Jesus, Iesous} he will save them all.

Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Romans 3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

Romans 3:29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

Romans 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

1 Corinthians 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

1 Corinthians 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

1 Corinthians 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

This is why I pray for Israel’s Salvation, I also pray for the peace of Jerusalem. I know however, that peace will only come to Jerusalem when Yeshua HaMassiach will arrive.

I urge, therefore all men to pray for this. the Salvation of the Jew and the Gentile. For we have brothers that are both Jew and Gentile. The Gentiles are all races other than the Jews.

Taking a Time Out to Help Others
Book Review - Every Monday Morning by Linda Hutton
Reviewed by Lisa M. Hendey

Every day, people go about the world busily, consumed with the small details of life and living. Every once in a while, someone stops their routine and makes time to help someone in need. These moments of service and caring, whether small or large, have the cumulative effect of making our world a better place for us all.

In her new book Every Monday Morning (Kregel Kidzone, July 2005, hardcover, 32 pages), author Linda Hutton tells the tale of one little corner of the world, one special man (and his loveable dog), and his efforts to help someone in need.

Mr. Peters is a creature of habit. Each day, he ventures through his neighborhood with his beloved dog Joey. He’s the type of neighbor who takes time to say hello and to introduce himself to strangers. His daily walk takes him past the tree he’s planted in honor of his late wife. He always stops to lovingly pat the tree. Mr. Peters doesn’t seem to stray too much from his routine. He even tells the same jokes and stories, but those in his neighborhood love and appreciate him and always laugh at his stories.

Upon learning of a group of people in great need, Mr. Peters becomes so engrossed in his loving plan to help and serve that his routine falls apart. During the course of one non-routine week, he does something simple, yet extraordinary, to help a special group of needy children.

Every Monday Morning features lovely watercolor artwork by Karen O. Murley and a story that will emphasize the importance, and rewards, of Christian service to every soul, whether child or adult, who’s fortunate enough to discover this book. It offers encouragement and an example - each of us can depart from the bustle of our own everyday commitments to make our own little corners of the world better for everyone.

Examine to see if the moneylender who wants to give you a loan is secure. A lot of the banks wil show you a loan rate that looks fair but doesn’t feel comfortably or so after some time. It doesn’t matter if you live in Lynwood California or in Ogden Utah a proficient online check up will salve you often a lot of anguish.

Translated it means: Woon je in Lingewaard of De Marne en heb je BKR. Lenen met een BKR notering is nog nooit zo gemakkelijk geweest. Haal snel een andere auto met geld lenen met negatieve bkr vermelding, 110742 euro is geen obstakel om te lenen. Van Eersel tot Vlist, financieren met een BKR registratie kan hier altijd.

At this present you can check over interest rates quickly at websites and see to it if there are possible traps you should know about. You should be wise today to investigate if you have a super bargain or if you don’t with the bank that offers you a money loan. That’s the reason why now you need to suss out and visualize if you can have a bank loan at a serious percent interest rate. 17 percent rate may appear so acceptable but will it stay unvarying after you have to pay back your bank loan. A merchant bank in Kearny New Jersey or so can have a total different actual rate of interest for a 7500 dollar money loan then a bank in Hanford California and that makes a big clear gap in your weekly costs.

According to God’s word, his favor surrounds us like a shield.

Wow, that is an awesome thought.

You ought to write Psalm 5:12 on an index card and tape it to your refrigerator.

I did!

“For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.”

God didn’t put anything in the book he didn’t want us to take to heart, and I really feel 90 percent of the problems we blame on the devil would be eliminated if we just started disciplining ourselves to view our circumstances through the eyes of God.

As Christians, I know we all believe God’s word. But ask yourself this question: If the Living God, creator of everything seen and unseen has supernaturally surrounded you with his favor and provision, why are you worried about the light bill?

Nine times out of ten, we are fretting and worrying because we have chosen to believe the enemy’s assessment of our situation instead of God’s.

When our minds start believing the enemy’s lies, we need to remind ourselves of what God says about us. Doubt and unbelief may cause you to feel that you are not good enough, or qualified enough, or attractive enough.

Tell the enemy, outloud, that according to God’s word you were wonderfully and fearfully made and you are well able to do exactly what God has called you to do. When the enemy lies to you and tells you you’ll never get married, you declare to him that your God will withold no good thing when you walk uprightly.

When the money is running low in the checking account and rent is due, throw your hands up toward the sky and thank the Creator of everything that he supplies all of your needs according to his riches in glory.

It is this type of faith and expectancy that activates God’s promises and provision in your life. Concentrate on becoming favor-minded. In every situation and in every circumstance, realize his desires for you are to prosper you and not to harm you (Jer. 29:14).

In every circumstance or trial you face:

1. You must admit that God is fully able to meet your need.

2. Find promises in his word that directly relate to your need and clearly illustrate that he wants to meet that need.

3. Declare, outloud, his promise so he, the enemy, and you can hear it. Repeat it every time doubt or fear try to raise their ugly head again.

4. Pray and wait on him.

Folks, when we combine prayer with a new commitment to saturating our mind with his word, we are conducting spiritual warfare.

In 2 Corinthians 10, Paul writes that “the weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”

It is very interesting that his next sentence deals with cleaning up our thought life.

He admonishes us to take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ (2 Cor. 10:5). Every thought that disagrees with God’s assessment of your situation should be met instantly with a promise from his word.

If you are disciplined and make this a habit, you will continually walk in a process of renewing your mind with God’s word.

Once you begin to get your thinking in line with his thinking, you will see the doors supernaturally fly open around you and you’ll walk in the favor of God like never before.

Now, it is extremely important for you to keep in mind that you have an active role in seeing God’s goodness come to pass in your life. If you eat junk food three times a day, your body is going to deteriorate. You can quote Isaiah 53:5 until you are blue in the face. If you are not taking the proper steps to take care of your body, you are not doing your part.

God gave you wisdom. Use it. Don’t expect God to make a miraculous deposit in your bank account and dig you out of a hole when you haven’t been faithful in giving and you’ve wasted your money on other things.

This message is for those who are faithfully walking after Jesus, putting him first place in every area of their lives.

If that is you, he shields you with his favor. His blessings are chasing you down! You are blessed coming in and blessed going out! By his stripes you were healed! Get all this in your spirit…if God is for you, who can be against you?

Like the blind men in Matthew 9, your need will be met “according to your faith.” Are you believing for a touch from God to heal your body, or are you afraid your situation might get worse?

Do you know in your heart he plans to bring a healthy love relationship into your life, or are you worried that this one will be a painful failure like the rest?

Are you convinced your business will explode so you can provide an abundant life for your family and seed for God’s kingdom, or are you a little concerned the economy is going to take another downturn?

Are you trusting him to bring the unsaved members of your family into his kingdom, or are your convinced some of them are too far gone?

Today, I encourage you to begin reprograming your mind with the promises of God. You are highly favored by the creator of the universe. He has wonderful plans for your life.

Don’t take my word for it! Get into his word. Read what he says about your situation…

Then, believe it!

As the human race maps out the genome and unlocks all the secrets of DNA, RNA, proteins and enzymes you will find unlimited possibilities and immortality. Transhumanism will mix the best organic and silicon futures. Unlimited brain power, unlimited communication and with all the new technologies mankind will solve every challenge he faces, you doubt this. While I am on this subject let me recommend a very good book to you:

“The Miracle Strain” By Michael Cordy.

This was a great book in trying to tie the biblical theory with Modern Strict materialist views in the DNA/RNA scientific fields. The Creationists, theologians and agnostics alike would find common ground in this book. It would have made an excellent movie actually. The story line has to do with Jesus Christ having an extra three genes in his DNA these genes had a virus which repaired DNA, which is almost possible without going into more detail of how all this works, it explains how it is scientifically possible for a human Being with this special DNA difference to be able to have the power to heal. It was a great book. Even though I rarely read Fiction, this book was well done and in the caliber of Ben Bova, Michael Creighton or some of the books which were Co-written books by Arthur C Clarke. This book makes you think about some of the possible healing powers, which may be possible in the future for fixing or curing degenerative diseases. These are the future realms we may be able to get too scientifically. It was great for the author to tie it in for those Christians so they can enjoy a science fiction book without having their belief system violated.

“It is a spiritual law that the desire to do necessarily implies

the ability to do.”

You have all read of “Aladdin’s Lamp,” which accomplished such

wonderful things. This, of course, is only a fairy story, but it

illustrates the fact that man has within him the power, if he is

able to use it, to gratify his every wish.

If you are unable to satisfy your deepest longings it is time you

learned how to use your God-given powers. You will soon be

conscious that you have latent powers within capable when once

developed of revealing to you priceless knowledge and unlimited

possibilities of success.

Man should have plenty of everything and not merely substance to

live on as so many have. All natural desires can be realized. It

would be wrong for the Infinite to create wants that could not be

supplied. Man’s very soul is in his power to think, and it,

therefore, is the essence of all created things. Every instinct

of man leads to thought, and in every thought there is great

possibility because true thought development, when allied to

those mysterious powers which perhaps transcend it, has been the

cause of all the world’s true progress.

In the silence we become conscious of “that something” which

transcends thought and which uses thought as a medium for

expression. Many have glimpses of “that something,” but few ever

reach the state where the mind is steady enough to fathom these

depths. Silent, concentrated thought is more potent than spoken

words, for speech distracts from the focusing power of the mind

by drawing more and more attention to the without.

Man must learn more and more to depend on himself; to seek more

for the Infinite within. It is from this source alone that he

ever gains the power to solve his practical difficulties. No one

should give up when there is always the resources of Infinity.

The cause of failure is that men search in the wrong direction

for success, because they are not conscious of their real powers

that when used are capable of guiding them.

The Infinite within is foreign to those persons who go through

life without developing their spiritual powers. But the Infinite

helps only he who helps himself. There is no such thing as a

Special “Providence.” Man will not receive help from the Infinite

except to the extent that he believes and hopes and prays for

help from this great source.

Concentrate on What You Want and Get It. The weakling is

controlled by conditions. The strong man controls conditions. You

can be either the conqueror or the conquered. By the law of

Psychic - Concentration you can achieve your heart’s desire. This law is so

powerful that that which at first seems impossible becomes

attainable.

By this law what you at first see as a dream becomes a reality.

Remember that the first step in Psychic - Concentration is to form a Mental

Image of what you wish to accomplish. This image becomes a

thought-seed that attracts thoughts of a similar nature. Around

this thought, when it is once planted in the imagination or

creative region of the mind, you group or build associated

thoughts which continue to grow as long as your desire is keen

enough to compel close Psychic - Concentration.

Form the habit of thinking of something you wish to accomplish

for five minutes each day. Shut every other thought out of

consciousness. Be confident that you will succeed; make up your

mind that all obstacles that are in your way will be overcome and

you can rise above any environment.

You do this by utilizing the natural laws of the thought world

which are all powerful.

A great aid in the development of Psychic - Concentration is to write out

your thoughts on that which lies nearest your heart and to

continue, little by little, to add to it until you have as nearly

as possible exhausted the subject.

You will find that each day as you focus your forces on this

thought at the center of the stream of consciousness, new plans,

ideas and methods will flash into your mind. There is a law of

attraction that will help you accomplish your purpose. An

advertiser, for instance, gets to thinking along a certain line.

He has formed his own ideas, but he wants to know what others

think. He starts out to seek ideas and he soon finds plenty of

books, plans, designs, etc., on the subject, although when he

started he was not aware of their existence.

The same thing is true in all lines. We can attract those things

that will help us. Very often we seem to receive help in a

miraculous way. It may be slow in coming, but once the silent

unseen forces are put into operation, they will bring results so

long as we do our part. They are ever present and ready to aid

those who care to use them. By forming a strong mental image of

your desire, you plant the thought-seed which begins working in

your interest and, in time, that desire, if in harmony with your

higher nature, will materialize.

It may seem that it would be unnecessary to caution you to

concentrate only upon achievement that will be good for you and

work no harm to another, but there are many who forget others and

their rights, in their anxiety to achieve success. All good

things are possible for you to have, but only as you bring your

forces into harmony with that law that requires that we mete out

justice to fellow travelers as we journey along life’s road. So

first think over the thing wanted and if it would be good for you

to have; say, “I want to do this; I am going to work to secure

it. The way will be open for me.”

If you fully grasp mentally the thought of success and hold it in

mind each day, you gradually make a pattern or mold which in time

will materialize. But by all means keep free from doubt and fear,

the destructive forces. Never allow these to become associated

with your thoughts.

At last you will create the desired conditions and receive help

in many unlooked-for ways that will lift you out of the undesired

environment. Life will then seem very different to you, for you

will have found happiness through awakening within yourself the

power to become the master of circumstances instead of their

slave.

To the beginner in this line of thought some of the things stated

in this book may sound strange, even absurd, but, instead of

condemning them, give them a trial. You will find they will work

out.

The inventor has to work out his idea mentally before he produces

it materially. The architect first sees the mental picture of the

house he is to plan and from this works out the one we see. Every

object, every enterprise, must first be mentally created.

I know a man that started in business with thirteen cents and not

a dollar’s worth of credit. In ten years he has built up a large

and profitable business. He attributes his success to two

things–belief that he would succeed and hard work. There were

times when it did not look like he could weather the storm. He

was being pressed by his creditors who considered him bankrupt.

They would have taken fifty cents on the dollar for his notes and

considered themselves lucky. But by keeping up a bold front he

got an extension of time when needed. When absolutely necessary

for him to raise a certain sum at a certain time he always did

it. When he had heavy bills to meet he would make up his mind

that certain people that owed him would pay by a certain date and

they always did. Sometimes he would not receive their check until

the last mail of the day of the extension, and I have known him

to send out a check with the prospect of receiving a check from

one of his customers the following day. He would have no reason

other than his belief in the power of affecting the mind of

another by Psychic - Concentration of thought for expecting that check, but

rarely has he been disappointed.

Just put forth the necessary concentrated effort and you will be

wonderfully helped from sources unknown to you.

Remember the mystical words of Jesus, the Master: “Whatsoever

thing ye desire when ye pray, pray as if ye had already received

and ye shall have.”

What are the best sights for astronomy? That’s hard to say. There is so much out there that the determination of what are the best sights for astronomy probably requires you to do some advance study and decide for yourself what you’d like to learn about.

There are a couple of very helpful books that can guide you through a determination of what are the best views for astronomy.

A new beginner or intermediate handbook for stargazers is the “Guide to Stars and Planets” by Patrick Moore. This accomplished astronomer has concisely gathered reference information on the night sky that details the best views for astronomy. It looks at the moon as well as the various constellations. You’ll find charts, photographs and maps that have been garnered through study with earth bound and space telescopes. The best areas for astronomy are laid out in this book as well as some guidance on how you’re going to take a look at the best views for astronomy yourself.

Here you’ll find guidance on what telescope to buy, how to set up an observatory for yourself as home and how to become a good amateur astronomer. Details about the perfect sights for astronomy include information on the moon, our sun, the various planets, the debris found in the solar system, a myriad number of stars, the various galaxies we know about, the constellations, and comets, asteroids, meteors and eclipses that humans have noted and photographed in the past.

The best sights for astronomy have been highlighted in the book, including important features in the moon and the stars we’ve studied extensively.

Matthew 24:34-24:35
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Matthew 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Many times people ask, how do we survive these times we live in, but the survival is not really in the times but in eternity of times. What do I mean? Surviving eternity.

Jesus said, John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Today we have terrorist, floods, fires, earthquakes and even volcanoes. The worst thing people do today is watching too much news. Fear has gotten a hold on many, sleepless nights and troubled days, even today, I hear of many hundreds of people waiting in line for hours just to get a flew shot. Now it’s not just the unsaved that are troubled but also the Christian. Putting their mind and faith in the world and its troubles. To survive eternity is to believe in Jesus and Gods Word. We all are going to die aren’t we? Many talk of having Heaven on earth and being rulers on this earth and don’t even know enough about the scriptures to teach it. Sects, cults all are taking their toll on this worlds population. Deceiving many due to the state of this life and the rising influence of the anti-christ.

The anti-christ is not just a man, whom we learn of in Revelations, but he is also a spirit. A spirit that has and will deceive with any means he can to get your immortal soul. Your soul is what we need to understand. The soul of man never dies, not like the spirit that with an animal, goes back to the dust of the earth. The spirit of man goes to judgment and then eternity. Does anyone really believe that they will live as they are forever? I’m afraid to say, yes. There are people today that believe that they will remain the same without change forever. I hope that there is none here today that believe this.

Jesus said in John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” he shall live forever.”

Now even as I talk to many who are not saved, they always tell me that they believe in Jesus. But they are hesitant to make a commitment to Him or to their own salvation. They understand that eternity is real and that hell is real, but there is something that is always getting in the way for them to ask for forgiveness. Surviving eternity is freedom of choice, Heaven or Hell is your choice. You can survive eternity in Peace and Joy or you can spend eternity in flames and burn forever. Believe it or not, there are religions today that preach , that there is no hell, no lake of fire, no judgment on the unrighteous. We speak of eternal duration preceding the present time.

God has existed from eternity. We also speak of endless or everlasting duration in future, and dating from present time or the present state of things. Some men doubt the eternity of future punishment, though they have less difficulty in admitting the eternity of future rewards. This is a hypocritical stand in many who divert people’s minds from judgment and doing the will of God. If there were no punishment in Gods word, then why would anyone accept Jesus as their Savior. There would be no reason for His sacrifice or our repentance.

(ISBE) 1. Contrast with Time. Eternity is best conceived, not in the merely negative form of the non-temporal, or immeasurable time, but positively, as the mode of the timeless self-existence of the Absolute Ground of the universe. The flux of time grows first intelligible to us, only when we take in the thought of God as eternal - exalted above time. Timeless existence - being or entity without change - is what we here mean by eternity, and not mere everlastingness or permanence through time. God, in His internal being, is raised above time; in His eternal absoluteness, He is throned above temporal development, and knows, as the Scriptures say, no changeableness. The conception of eternity, as without beginning or ending, leaves us with but a negation badly in need of filling out with reality. Eternity is not a mere negative idea; to make of eternity merely a blank and irrelevant negation of temporality would not satisfy any proper theory of being; it functions as the positive relation to time of that eternal God, who is King of all the eons.

Revelations 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Revelations 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign forever and ever.

As the days grow shorter, there are many divisions in the church worldwide. Many are breaking apart from their own denominations, because of a difference in doctrine. Many churches are making up self-doctrine to please their congregations. Where will they spend eternity? Will they be able to survive and what about the people that they deceive. Have they been taught how to survive eternity or are they just as misguided as the rest? I can only Hope that you will make the right decisions and adhere to sound doctrine, so that you will be able to survive eternity. ars

Revelations A Study.Section 6. Chapter 7:9 thru 7:17 The tribulation Saints. Rev 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
“which no man could number” This phrase doesnt designate a number that is unnumeriable but a number that man cannot count., This next phrase is stateing that many of the religions of today that state that they are the only ones going to Heavan because of some tradition or name on the church house door are wrong. These words are showing the total diversity of Gods Kingdom and its Children. “all nations, kindreds, people and tongues.” These verses are self explanitory. But also notice their crys, there are 7. Rev 7:10-7:12 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
Rev 7:11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
Rev 7:12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
Rev 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
Rev 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest.; [In these verses the angel that is explaining all these things to John, know that John couldnt know whom they were because this is future prophecy that John could not see.] And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. The key word here is “Great Tribulation”. The Great Tribulation that is spoken of here, is the time of the 7 years of the rull of antichrist. Remember that the antichrist and Satan are 2 different people. We will get into greater deatil in later sections.
Rev 7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
Rev 7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
Rev 7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. The Great Tribulation Saints are seperated from the others because of their resistance of the antichristian rule and are awarded a special place and duty to God for all eternity. Key words; “before the throne of God”, “serve him day and night in his temple”, “God shall dwell among them.” Ref; Eze_34:23; Mic_5:4, Mic_7:14; Isa_25:6, Isa_40:11, Isa_49:9; Psa_28:9, Psa_36:8. end section 6.
