Bible Truths - Prophecy of Daniel and Revelation - Babylons Buffet #20 - What does the Bible say about health? What was the original diet of mankind? Are there clean and unclean foods? God is concerned about our health because there is a strong connection between our minds and bodies. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. We worship God with both our mind and our body. When our mind is clear and our body is healthy it is easier to serve God and to resist the devil.

Bible Truths - Prophecy of Daniel and Revelation - The Magnificent Kingdom #8 - What promises are in the Bible about Heaven? The Magnificent Kingdom begins with a study of Solomon and the zenith of Israel's history. God has prepared His kingdom that is even greater than Solomon's.

Jesus concludes his Sermon on the Mount by likening those who hear his words but do not act on them to a foolish man who builds his house on sand. In contrast, those who hear and obey are like a wise man who builds on rock. After finishing the sermon, Jesus impresses the crowds with his authoritative teaching. He then begins a second tour of Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing the sick. During this time, he raises the son of a widow from the dead in the village of Nain, demonstrating his power over death.
This lesson focuses on stories from the Bible about Peter and his relationship with Jesus. It discusses Peter's declaration that Jesus is the Christ/Son of God, his role as a "little stone" that Jesus will build his church upon, his temptation of Jesus in the garden, his experience at the transfiguration, and how Jesus paid the temple tax despite Peter thinking he did not need to as the Son of God. The lesson provides context and analysis for each biblical passage about Peter to understand his discipleship and role in the early church.
Sabbath school lesson 11, 2nd quarter of 2018David Syahputra
This lesson discusses who should be worshipped and the signs of true and false worship. It explains that God established circumcision and the Sabbath as external signs of worshipping Him. In the end times, those who worship the beast will receive its mark, while those who worship God will receive His seal, which includes keeping the Sabbath. The Sabbath identifies God as Creator and is the sign between Him and His people. When Sunday laws are enforced, refusing to worship on Sunday in favor of the biblically commanded Sabbath will mean receiving the mark of the beast rather than the seal of God.
Sabbath School lesson 10, 3rd quarter of 2015David Syahputra
Philip had several roles in the early Christian church. He was one of the seven deacons appointed in Jerusalem to distribute food to those in need. Philip later preached in Samaria and baptized many converts. As a missionary, Philip explained Bible passages to an Ethiopian official. Philip continued preaching along the Mediterranean coast, and later hosted Paul and his companions in Caesarea, demonstrating his forgiving spirit. Philip served faithfully in the church as a deacon, preacher, missionary, and evangelist.
The document describes a situation in the early Christian church where Greek-speaking widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. The twelve disciples appointed seven men, including Stephen, to oversee the distribution so that the disciples could focus on preaching. Stephen performed great signs and wonders but also encountered opposition from religious leaders. He was eventually falsely accused of blasphemy and brought before the Jewish high council, where he gave a speech defending his faith before being martyred.
Sabbath School Lesson 11, 2nd quarter of 2015David Syahputra
The document discusses the nature and timeline of God's kingdom. It notes that the kingdom is ruled by God alone and involves total commitment to Him. While citizens of the kingdom now, it is not yet fully realized, as Jesus established an initial kingdom through his life and teachings and there remains a future, full restoration when evil is defeated. Believers are to seek, preach, pray for, and live the kingdom each day as they await Christ's second coming and the full coming of God's kingdom.
1) The document provides context about the biblical story of Esther, including background on King Ahasuerus and how he held a feast before leaving for Greece.
2) It summarizes key events from the story, such as Ahasuerus getting drunk and asking Queen Vashti to do something indecent, which led to Esther becoming the new queen.
3) It discusses how Esther found favor with the king but hid her Jewish identity and faith, and how she later risked her life to save her people from Haman's plot to kill all Jews.
This lesson discusses the origin and development of the war between good and evil. It explains that Satan was originally Lucifer, a beautiful, perfect angel, but he became prideful and wanted to be treated like God. There was then a war in heaven where God and the faithful angels defeated Satan and his angels, casting them out of heaven. The war continued on earth, with Satan trying to kill Jesus as a baby and later using Rome to persecute the early Church. Satan is still trying to destroy God's faithful remnant, but Jesus already defeated him at the cross. We can overcome as others like Abel, Noah and Moses did by keeping our faith in Jesus.
The document discusses the villain of Revelation, Satan. It describes how Satan leads the forces of evil and asks for our worship in opposition to Jesus, who leads the forces of good. It provides biblical references to outline Satan's role as the dragon, serpent, devil, and accuser according to Revelation. Satan will ultimately be destroyed when God casts him into the lake of fire.
1) The early Church experienced rapid growth with thousands joining, including some priests, but problems arose that needed addressing. 2) Leaders were appointed to serve those in need and solve the problems, contributing to the Church's fulfillment of its mission. 3) Stephen preached boldly but faced opposition, giving a speech defending the faith before being martyred, which led to the persecution that scattered Christians and spread the faith farther.
The document outlines key aspects of the plan of salvation according to Seventh-day Adventist theology. It begins with sin separating humanity from God in the Garden of Eden. God then devised the plan of redemption to restore humanity and bring them back into communion with Him. This involved various prophecies and types found in the Old Testament sanctuary services that pointed to Jesus' ministry in the heavenly sanctuary. Jesus' death on the cross and entrance into the Most Holy Place of the heavenly sanctuary in 1844 are significant events in cleansing the sanctuary and carrying out the final atonement for God's people. Those who understand and hold to these truths will work to prepare others for Christ's second coming.
The document discusses prophecies from Isaiah about God restoring the heavens and earth and creating a new Jerusalem without weeping or crying. It then discusses passages from the New Testament about how believers should live in light of these prophecies, looking forward to Christ's appearing and purifying themselves. The document also provides summaries about the characteristics and features of Christ's future millennial kingdom based on passages from Isaiah, Psalms, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation.
“The Kind of Preaching That Pleases God”Don McClain
This document examines what constitutes successful preaching according to God rather than popular measures. It profiles several preachers in the Bible like Noah, Jeremiah, John the Baptist, Jesus, Paul, Peter and Stephen. All faced opposition but faithfully proclaimed God's message of repentance, judgment for sin, and salvation through obedience. True preaching pleases God by upholding sound doctrine instead of popular fables and applies scriptural teachings to modern issues while opposing false teachings.
The document provides commentary on Revelation 17, which describes a mysterious woman sitting on a scarlet beast. It notes that a woman in Bible prophecy represents a church. It analyzes details about the woman's clothing and the name written on her forehead - "Mystery, Babylon the Great" - to symbolize a fallen or apostate church. The beast is described as full of blasphemy and is connected to prophecies of a power that opposes God and exalts itself, revealing it represents a kingdom influenced by Satan. The summary identifies the key symbols and their proposed meanings within the document's interpretation of Revelation 17.
1. A seminar was being held about the Antichrist Beast that provided free materials and recordings.
2. There was a quiz about events during the 1000 years and the identity and location of the bottomless pit.
3. The document discussed prophecies in the books of Daniel, Thessalonians, and Revelation about the Antichrist beast and end times events like the mark of the beast.

It provides biblical references to outline Satan's role as the dragon, serpent, devil, and accuser according to Revelation. Satan will ultimately be destroyed when God casts him into the lake of fire.
1) The early Church experienced rapid growth with thousands joining, including some priests, but problems arose that needed addressing. 2) Leaders were appointed to serve those in need and solve the problems, contributing to the Church's fulfillment of its mission. 3) Stephen preached boldly but faced opposition, giving a speech defending the faith before being martyred, which led to the persecution that scattered Christians and spread the faith farther.
The document outlines key aspects of the plan of salvation according to Seventh-day Adventist theology. It begins with sin separating humanity from God in the Garden of Eden. God then devised the plan of redemption to restore humanity and bring them back into communion with Him. This involved various prophecies and types found in the Old Testament sanctuary services that pointed to Jesus' ministry in the heavenly sanctuary. Jesus' death on the cross and entrance into the Most Holy Place of the heavenly sanctuary in 1844 are significant events in cleansing the sanctuary and carrying out the final atonement for God's people. Those who understand and hold to these truths will work to prepare others for Christ's second coming.
The document discusses prophecies from Isaiah about God restoring the heavens and earth and creating a new Jerusalem without weeping or crying. It then discusses passages from the New Testament about how believers should live in light of these prophecies, looking forward to Christ's appearing and purifying themselves. The document also provides summaries about the characteristics and features of Christ's future millennial kingdom based on passages from Isaiah, Psalms, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation.
“The Kind of Preaching That Pleases God”Don McClain
This document examines what constitutes successful preaching according to God rather than popular measures. It profiles several preachers in the Bible like Noah, Jeremiah, John the Baptist, Jesus, Paul, Peter and Stephen. All faced opposition but faithfully proclaimed God's message of repentance, judgment for sin, and salvation through obedience. True preaching pleases God by upholding sound doctrine instead of popular fables and applies scriptural teachings to modern issues while opposing false teachings.
The document provides commentary on Revelation 17, which describes a mysterious woman sitting on a scarlet beast. It notes that a woman in Bible prophecy represents a church. It analyzes details about the woman's clothing and the name written on her forehead - "Mystery, Babylon the Great" - to symbolize a fallen or apostate church. The beast is described as full of blasphemy and is connected to prophecies of a power that opposes God and exalts itself, revealing it represents a kingdom influenced by Satan. The summary identifies the key symbols and their proposed meanings within the document's interpretation of Revelation 17.
1. A seminar was being held about the Antichrist Beast that provided free materials and recordings.
2. There was a quiz about events during the 1000 years and the identity and location of the bottomless pit.
3. The document discussed prophecies in the books of Daniel, Thessalonians, and Revelation about the Antichrist beast and end times events like the mark of the beast.
This document contains excerpts from the Bible and other Christian sources discussing the mark of the beast from the book of Revelation. It summarizes that the beast is the Papacy, which received its power and throne from pagan Rome. The mark is enforcing Sunday worship, which has no biblical basis but was established by the Catholic Church. Those who receive this mark by worshipping on Sunday instead of the biblically commanded Sabbath day will receive God's wrath.
This article discusses what the scriptures say about practices like astrology, divination, spirit mediums, magic, wizardry, and necromancy. It outlines that these practices were part of false religions that Israel and early Christians were warned against. The scriptures show that God communicates through prophets, not fortunetellers or magic. When people converted to Christianity, they destroyed books on magic arts. The scriptures portray these occult arts as sins and in competition with God's true prophets.
The document discusses how Jesus opened the minds of two disciples so they could understand how the Old Testament scriptures referred to him. It provides several examples of people, places, things and events from the Old Testament that served as types and shadows pointing to Jesus as the fulfillment. The key idea is that Jesus helped his disciples see how all of scripture spoke of his suffering, death and resurrection.
This document discusses the testimony of Jesus Christ and the three angels' messages from Revelation. It notes that Ellen G. White received visions guiding the Adventist church. It examines prophecies about changing times and laws, identifying the papacy as changing God's prophetic calendar. It outlines two methods, futurism and preterism, used by Catholic scholars to refute the papacy being the antichrist. The document asserts that the gift of prophecy, as with Elijah, will identify the dragon, beast and false prophet of Revelation. True prophets will call God's people to keep His commandments and law.
Brochure - NEW REVELATION - About Signs and Miracles from God - ed 1Simona P
The document presents excerpts from The New Revelation of Jesus Christ describing various signs and miracles performed by Jesus, His angels, and disciples during His apostleship, including healings of the paralyzed, demon-possessed, blind, and more. It provides details on these miracles from The Great Gospel of John and The Lord's Sermons to further explain and complement the biblical accounts.
This document outlines four tests or trials that a true prophet must pass:
1) Their messages must be in accordance with what is already revealed in the Bible.
2) Their predictions must come true, except in cases of conditional prophecies.
3) They must exalt Jesus as the only Savior.
4) Their life and fruits must be consistent with their message.
The document examines how Ellen G. White passes all four of these tests to demonstrate that she was a true prophet.
The document discusses the three angels' messages of Revelation 14:6-12. It provides context on the book of Revelation and explains that an angel delivers God's messages to humanity. The three angels' messages concern worshipping God as creator, leaving Babylon, and warnings about worshipping the beast. The document urges believers to proclaim these universal messages as part of God's final appeal to humanity.
The document discusses the three angels' messages of Revelation 14:6-12. It provides context on the book of Revelation and explains that an angel delivers God's messages to humans. The three angels' messages warn of impending judgment for worshipping the beast and call people to worship God as creator. The messages are a final appeal from God for people to come out of Babylon before facing his wrath.
1) The document discusses the concept of general revelation and special revelation as two ways that God reveals himself to humanity.
2) General revelation refers to God communicating himself to all people in nature, history, and human conscience. Examples given include the natural world, the nation of Israel, and humanity being made in God's image.
3) Special revelation involves God directly revealing himself at specific times through prophets and scripture, such as God speaking to Moses from the burning bush and inspiring the authors of the Bible.
The document provides an overview of the Latter Prophets section of the Hebrew Bible, which includes the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Twelve Minor Prophets. It discusses the historical context and classification of the Latter Prophets, their relationship to the Former Prophets, and approaches to interpreting and applying their messages.
The document discusses the gospel and atonement as revealed through the Old Testament sanctuary services. It notes that the sanctuary services pointed to Christ and the plan of salvation. The gospel is presented as having three steps: (1) Christ's death on the cross provided atonement for sin, reconciling humanity to God; (2) believers experience daily sanctification and victory over sin; (3) complete salvation will come at Christ's second coming when believers are glorified and sin is removed entirely. The sanctuary services model these three steps of atonement and salvation.
The document discusses the historical origins and spread of the religious system known as "Mystery Babylon" throughout ancient civilizations. It describes how this system, centered around the worship of a mother goddess and child, influenced Jewish religion and continues today through apostate churches. The document asserts that Mystery Babylon will play a key role in the end times, first supporting the Antichrist before being destroyed by him, and that both religious and economic systems symbolized by Babylon will be judged and fall at the second coming of Christ.
This document provides information about angels from A to Z. It discusses what various historical figures have said about alcohol. It then discusses angels in multiple paragraphs. Angels are spiritual creatures created by God to serve him and help people. They can travel between the spiritual and physical realms. They come in great numbers and have different ranks, with Michael being the archangel. Their purpose is to glorify God and help accomplish his will by serving people. God sends them from heaven to earth to minister.
A inspection of the prophecy of the wise and foolish virgins from the bible's perspective. Prophecy is a light and the sanctuary is the key that unlocks the mystery, Through the use of parallelism, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, some deep truths can be revealed from the scriptures.

What is the Spirit of prophecy? Is it a person? Is it applicable in our present time?
The many challenges that have been manifested in recent times over the Spirit of Prophecy has caused many to question and some to study to find out what is truth. Truth clearly revealed in the bible is what we seek and as such we look carefully at whether or not the writings of Sister White pass the test using a simple comparison.
THIS POWERPOINT SERMON IS ABOUT CHRISTIANS WHO COMPROMISE BOTH IN WORD AND DEED. CHRISTIANS WHO COMPROMISE TRUTH AND EXLT TRADITIONS OF MEN. CHRISTIANS WHO COMPROMISE AND GOD'S DAY OF REST, FOR MAN'S DAY OF RECOGNITION.

The document discusses the three angels' messages from Revelation 14:6-12. It summarizes the key points of each message: the first warns of God's judgment and calls people to worship the Creator; the second announces that Babylon is fallen for misleading all nations; and the third warns of receiving the mark of the beast. It analyzes the symbols of Babylon, the dragon, beast and false prophet representing world powers throughout history that have opposed God and persecuted his people. Babylon is described as a harlot that misleads the world through false teachings, in contrast to God's ideal of the church remaining faithful to Christ.

chakra yoga
Number of petals: 4 Location: Base of the spine Name: Foundation
Plane: Physical plane Sense Organ: Nose Work Organ: Anus Sense: Smell Element: Earth Shape: Square Sound: Lang
Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
God calls us to a journey of worshiping Him. In this journey you will encounter different obstacles and derailments that will want to sway you from worshiping God. You got to be intentional in breaking the barriers staged on your way of worship in order to offer God acceptable worship.
The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docxFred Gosnell
John witnesses the sealing of God's 144,000 witnesses, and he hears the crying out or shouting of an unnumbered multitude of those who have been saved during the great tribulation.
This is an intermission scene before opening the seventh seal. We have seen six seals opened revealing of the events that would shortly occur. The first 4 reveal what was to occur in the great tribulation during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.
The fifth seal reveals the question from those slain as to when the Lord would avenge their death. The sixth seal reveals the answer to them from the One on the throne and of the Lamb which would be the punishment of their persecutors and accomplices. John sees four messengers/angels holding back the four winds of the earth & keeping them from blowing on the earth, the sea or any tree. In this figurative language, these are not heavenly messengers/angels. These represent those who are trying to restrain the word of God everywhere. Their efforts are restrained by the messenger in verse 2, preventing them from holding back the 4 winds, the spread of the gospel of Christ by His messengers/angels. These 4 winds stand on the four corners of the earth, Rome’s worldwide influence to stop its spread. But the gospel will be preached in all the earth. See the study for the Bible passages that support this. John hears the commands given relating to the sealing of the servants of God and the figurative number representing them. John sees a great multitude standing before the throne of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues who are clothed with white robes. All the messengers/angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four beasts fell before the throne and worshipped God. One of the elders asks John what those were that were wearing white robes. John said he knew and the elder identifies them. The chapter ends with his explanation.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

In his search towards reality or the unchanging fundamental unit of this universe, a scientist started with the external gross world of solid matter which is simple and easy to see, divide, and do experiments with.
This search led him through steps of understanding of this entire world of matter starting from elements, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons;
He further understood that it is all packets of energy.
The atoms conglomerate together to form various chemicals; our body is therefore a permutation and combination of various chemicals. (Packets of energy in various configurations) When they join together they form molecules, cells, tissues organs, etc.
These follow certain well defined laws of nature and are controlled by nervous (electrical) and chemical (hormones) mechanisms to bring about movement and action in each and every cell.
Thus annamaya kosha is the physical frame which the grossest of the five Koshas.

Editor's Notes
Ahab, the wicked king of Israel, wanted to recapture the town of Ramoth-gilead from the Syrians. But he needed help, so he asked good King Jehoshaphat of Judah to join his campaign against their common enemy. Jehoshaphat said he was willing to join forces with Ahab, but that they should first seek God's counsel.Ahab had forsaken the Lord years earlier to worship the pagan god Baal, so he called in 400 hired prophets to come before the two monarchs. With dramatic display, these false prophets said, "Go and fight the Syrians, and you will be victorious!" But King Jehoshaphat requested to hear from a true prophet of the Lord. Ahab said that there was one prophet of Jehovah left whose name was Micaiah, but he added, "I hate him for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil." Verse 8.At Jehoshaphat's insistence, Ahab reluctantly sent a servant to fetch Micaiah. The brave prophet came and made a very unpopular prediction. He told Ahab that he would die in the battle with Syria. Now Ahab faced a tough decision. Should he believe 400 prophets who say nice things, or one lone prophet of the Lord?
Stubborn King Ahab persuaded Jehoshaphat to disregard the warnings of the prophet Micaiah and join him in the war. He thought he could outsmart the Lord by dressing in full armor and avoiding the front lines of battle. But Ahab learned too late that you can never escape the Word of God. During the battle, a stray arrow flying through the air struck Ahab in the joints of his armor, and he bled to death in his chariot.
Jesus warned that there will be many false prophets in the last days (Matthew 24:11). That is why we must know how to distinguish the true from the counterfeit. It may be a matter of life or death!
NOTE:
Yes, there will be both true and false prophets in the end time. The Scriptures also teach that prophets can be either men or women.
NOTE:
Deuteronomy 18:9-12 says that all who do these things are an "abomination" to the Lord. For this reason, Christians should have nothing to do with them.
NOTE:
God's end-time remnant church has "the testimony of Jesus," which is "the spirit of prophecy." By comparing Revelation 19:10 and 22:9, we see that the angel defines John's "brethren" that have the spirit of prophecy as "the prophets" and "them which keep the sayings of this book." In 1 Corinthians 1:5-8, Paul writes that the church will have "the testimony of Christ" and will "come behind in no gift" until Jesus' second coming. So God's last-day church will indeed still have the gift of prophecy.
NOTE:
The Lord speaks to His prophets by visions, in dreams, face to face, and through angels. Crystal balls, palm readings, tea leaf deciphering, star gazing, and claiming to talk with the dead are not God's methods of communicating with a prophet.

Ellen White In Vision
1. Immediately preceding a vision, both Mrs. White and others in the room experienced a deep sense of the presence of God .
2. As the vision began, Ellen White would exclaim "Glory!" or "Glory to God!", at times repeated.
3. She experienced a loss of physical strength.
4. Subsequently, she often manifested supernatural strength.
5. She did not breathe, but her heartbeat continued normally, and the color in her cheeks was natural.
6. Occasionally she gave exclamations indicative of the scene being presented to her.
7. Her eyes were open, not with vacant stare, but as if she were intently watching something.
8. Her position might vary. At times she was seated; at times reclining; at times she walked about the room and made graceful gestures as she spoke of matters presented.
9. She was absolutely unconscious of what was occurring about her. She neither saw, heard, felt, nor perceived in any way her immediate surroundings or happenings.
10. The close of the vision was indicated by a deep inhalation, followed in about a minute by another, and very soon her natural breathing resumed.
11. Immediately after the vision all seemed very dark to her.
12. Within a short time she regained her natural strength and abilities.
NOTE:
No, miracles are not proof that someone is a true prophet. They prove only one thing--supernatural power. But supernatural power may come either from God or from Satan. That is why the Lord tells us: "Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1.
NOTE:
The "law and the testimony" was an Old Testament expression for "Bible." In other words, a message from someone who claims to have a prophetic utterance from God must be compared with the Bible. We must test the prophet by the Bible, and not the Bible by the prophet. Any true prophet of God will always agree 100 percent with Scripture. This is the true test.
NOTE:
A prophet of God must acknowledge and teach the truth about Jesus Christ--that He was God in human form. True prophets must also exalt Jesus, not themselves. Most false prophets seek to draw attention away from God's Word and to their own ideas.
NOTE:
This does not mean that the prophet will be perfect. God's prophets have always had faults. However, there must be consistency between what true prophets teach and the lives they live.
In December 1844, God gave Ellen the first of an estimated 2,000 visions and dreams. In August, 1846, she married James White, a 25-year-old Adventist minister who shared her conviction that God had called her to do the work of a prophet. Soon after their marriage James and Ellen began to keep the seventh-day Sabbath, according to the fourth commandment.
The mother of four boys, Ellen experienced the pain of losing by death two of her sons. Herbert died when he was an infant of few weeks, and Henry died when he was 16. Her other two sons, Edson and William, both became Adventist ministers.
Ellen White died July 16, 1915. For seventy years she faithfully delivered the messages God gave her for His people. She never was elected to an office in the church, yet her advice was constantly sought by denominational leaders.
NOTE:
A true prophet will not make false predictions. If a prophet is of God, the things he or she says will come to pass. However, accuracy alone does not automatically qualify a person as a true prophet. Deuteronomy 13:1-3 warns that false prophets can give signs that will come to pass and then use their influence to lead people to follow other gods. A true prophet must lead people to worship God according to the Bible.
Just two days later, on April 18, 1906, a massive earthquake shook San Francisco and Oakland. More than 490 city blocks were destroyed, 800 people were killed, more than 1,500 were injured and between 225,000 and 256,000 people were left homeless. Property was destroyed at the rate of one million dollars every ten minutes by the fire which swept through the city following the earthquake.
NOTE:
Paul says that we are not to despise, or reject, the gift of prophecy. Rather, we must test a prophet's messages by Scripture and follow what is good and true.
NOTE:
When we reject the words of a true prophet, we reject the counsel of God. A solemn thought! The Bible tells us to listen to God's prophets and promises that all who follow the counsel of a true prophet will prosper.
