Evidence that christ’s return is near
The document provides evidence that Christ's return is near based on signs mentioned in the Bible. It summarizes that Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD but Jews were regathered in Israel in 1948 and Jerusalem was reunited in 1967, fulfilling biblical prophecy. It also lists religious signs like a lack of natural affection and lovers of pleasure, and signs in society and world politics like unrest, corruption, and distress of nations. It emphasizes studying God's word and making one's salvation sure, and not waiting to start following Christ.
The Interpretation
The document discusses how life events can be God's demonstrations and contain messages to teach. It outlines God's demonstration, the disciples' discipline through following commands, showing compassion, and giving credit where it's due. Finally, it warns of the devil's distractions from the true work of believing in God and not being distracted by earthly desires.
Dare to be holy
God was originally the king of Israel and gave them the law at Mount Sinai, instructing them to be a holy nation set apart from others. However, when the Israelites entered the promised land they were tempted by the customs of the native peoples. After a period of judges, the people demanded a human king like the other nations had, despite God wanting to remain their king. Samuel warned them about the consequences of a king but the people insisted.

End of the world atf
God promised after destroying the ancient world with a flood that he would never again destroy all living things. While evil people will continue to exist outside of God's kingdom, the physical world will remain as long as Christ's name endures, which will be forever as he is the Everlasting Father with a kingdom and government that will have no end.

It outlines how Israel was reestablished as a nation in 1948 and has grown tremendously, fulfilling biblical prophecies of regathering. The implications are that this proves God's sovereignty over history and that the Bible is true, God still wants to redeem the Jews, and Jewish missions should be a church priority.

Key events included the division of Israel into two kingdoms after King Solomon, conquests by Assyria, Babylon, Greece and Rome, and the eventual diaspora of Jewish people across Europe and elsewhere during Ottoman rule. The document sets up discussion of the Jewish claim to the land of Israel based on biblical promises and their identity as a people with shared culture, religion and history across millennia despite being scattered.
Sermon 03 28 10
Jesus suffered and died on the cross to take the punishment for humanity's sins, though he was sinless.

Conclusion:
Spiritual And Historical Base
The document discusses God's ownership and control over all things. It notes that God owns everything in heaven and earth, including wealth, natural resources, and people. It also asserts that God controls circumstances and uses them for good purposes, such as meeting people's needs and developing their character through discipline. The document encourages acknowledging God as the ultimate owner of everything and making financial decisions in light of this.
Foundations
The document discusses the foundations of the earth, God's throne, and people's lives belonging to God. It provides biblical references showing God laid the earth's foundations and set an unmovable foundation for it. Jesus is presented as the sure foundation stone for our lives. Key foundations are listed as repentance, faith in God, baptism, resurrection, and judgment. Churches must be built on the foundation of Christ and apostles' teachings. The kingdom of God was Jesus's central message and it is always advancing until it is fully realized in the new heaven and earth. The document encourages building on pillars of focusing on foundations, thinking supernaturally, and serving the community as God's people extend his kingdom.
Great Expectations
This document discusses the themes of expectation and hope from the perspectives of both the Bible and literature. It contrasts the expectations presented in the novel Great Expectations with the hope and future promised by God in the Bible according to Jeremiah 29:11. The document explores the concepts of expectation, hope, and trees of life and knowledge from various Bible passages to argue that true hope and expectation can only be found through faith in God and his promises of redemption and eternal life.
Can We Know the Future
The document discusses whether the future can be known. It references several Bible passages about prophecies that were fulfilled, such as Daniel's vision of kingdoms and Isaiah's prophecy of Cyrus letting God's people go free. However, it also notes that only God knows the exact day and time of future events like Jesus' return, and that people should say "if it is the Lord's will" when making plans. The overall message is that while the Bible contains prophecies that came true, only God fully knows the future.
Two Kingdoms
This document discusses the differences between the kingdom of heaven and the church. It provides biblical references to support the position that the kingdom of heaven refers to Christ's future earthly kingdom during the Millennium, while the church refers to believers in the current church age. Key points made include that the kingdom will be a physical, earthly kingdom where salvation is based on works, while the church is a spiritual body entered by faith. The document also examines multiple passages in Matthew that reference the kingdom of heaven to argue they are referring to Christ's future earthly reign.
The Source
The document discusses that the Bible is the most reliable source for truth about the future because:
1) The Bible claims authority as the word of God and was authored by men who spoke from God.
2) The Bible has the greatest reliability based on the number of manuscripts and how close they are to the originals, as well as being correct archaeologically and scientifically.
3) The Bible has 100% accuracy in prophecies about Christ and the destruction of Tyre and Sidon, demonstrating it can foretell the future. Studying end times helps believers prepare for Christ's return and eternity.

Heaven can't wait
The document discusses concepts about heaven through various quotes and passages from scripture. It compares the Garden of Eden before the fall of man to the description of the New Jerusalem in Revelation. Some of the key points made are:
- Eden and the New Jerusalem are described as paradise-like places created by God for humanity to dwell in.
- Both locations contain trees like the tree of life, rivers, and no mentions of suffering.
- The New Jerusalem is said to be a restored version of Eden without the effects of sin or curse, where God will dwell among his people and wipe away all tears.
- There are principles of continuity between the present world and heavenly new creation, with transformed but
Debt
1) The document discusses the topic of debt from both biblical and modern perspectives. It provides biblical examples of the Israelites borrowing goods from Egyptians and David's mighty men gathering when in debt or distress.
2) It discusses how debt limits life's options and freedom by transferring wealth and rights to the creditor. When debt is purchased by a debt buyer, the buyer can pursue collection of the debt.
3) The document asserts that Jesus provided the ultimate solution to debt and its burdens through his life, death and resurrection. His sacrifice allows people to be released from the bondage of sin and debt.

Learning from the failings of a king saul - billericay 110320
Saul disobeyed God's command to utterly destroy the Amalekites, sparing King Agag and the best livestock. When confronted by Samuel, Saul made excuses but was rebuked for prioritizing sacrifice over obedience. God's spirit departed from Saul, and an evil spirit troubled him. Saul grew increasingly jealous of David's success and tried multiple times to kill him. In his despair, Saul consulted a medium to contact Samuel's spirit, where he was rebuked again for disobeying God. Saul acknowledged his sin and errors before dying in battle against the Philistines.
Aspects of armageddon foreshadowed in the ot
The document discusses aspects of Armageddon that are foreshadowed in the Old Testament (OT). It notes that the OT contains echoes and patterns of rebellion against God and his people that will reach their climax at Armageddon. Specific examples that foreshadow Armageddon included various battles and wars in the OT, including God's use of nations like Assyria and Babylon to punish Israel while still holding those nations accountable. The document outlines how events and passages in the OT anticipated the final confrontation that will occur at Armageddon between God and those who stand against him and his people.

lessons from paul's journey to rome
Paul's third missionary journey brought him to Jerusalem, where he was arrested. He was taken to Caesarea and stood trial before governors Felix and Festus. Paul appealed to Caesar and was sent to Rome under guard by sea. During the difficult journey, Paul demonstrated great faith in God through his calmness, courage, and assurance that all would be saved despite facing storms, as God had promised. After many trials, Paul arrived in Rome and spent two years under house arrest preaching the gospel.
Pauls second journey
A consideration of Paul's second journey and its lessons for us. Includes seven perspectives on his journey.
The beatitudes 2
This document summarizes Jesus' Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount. It discusses each of the eight Beatitudes that are listed in the Bible, including what it means to be poor in spirit, mourn, meek, hunger and thirst for righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, and peacemakers. It also discusses the blessings of being persecuted for righteousness' sake and being reviled for believing in Jesus. The overall message is that those who exhibit godly characteristics like humility, mercy, and peacemaking will be blessed both spiritually and eternally.
The scriptural theme of inheritance
The document discusses the biblical theme of inheritance. It defines inheritance and notes that the theme is prominent in the Bible, appearing over 500 times. God promised Abraham and his descendants the land of Canaan as an inheritance. This promise of land, people, and seed of Abraham was established through God's covenant and is received through faith. The inheritance is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ and the restoration of God's kingdom.
The garments of the priests laindon - 240419
The garments of the Israelite high priest were designed by God to represent important spiritual truths about Jesus Christ. The six garments - the ephod, breastplate, robe, embroidered coat, mitre, and girdle - were made of fine linen, gold, blue, purple and scarlet. Each color and material held symbolic meaning pointing to Christ's righteousness, redemption, and perfect priesthood which fulfills and replaces the shadowy law. The high priest's clothing typified how believers can be clothed in Christ's righteousness through faith to minister as priests in his coming kingdom.
Proof that the bible comes from god
This document provides information about an upcoming seminar aimed at demonstrating that the Bible comes from God. It will examine the unity of the Bible despite being written over 1600 years by 40 authors, the historical and scientific accuracy of the Bible, and the fulfillment of prophecies in the Bible as evidence it is divinely inspired. The seminar consists of 3 sessions on March 20th, 25th and April 3rd where attendees can ask questions. The document provides background on the Bible and outlines three tests that will be examined at the seminar: 1) the unity of the Bible, 2) the accuracy of the Bible historically and scientifically, and 3) the accuracy of prophecies in the Bible.
The amalekites
This document discusses the history of the Amalekites according to the Bible. It describes how Esau's grandson Amalek was the progenitor of the Amalekite people and nation. Several biblical passages are cited that reference the Amalekites attacking the Israelites or being defeated by them. The document suggests that Saul failed to completely destroy the Amalekites as God commanded. It notes that the Book of Esther identifies Haman, the main villain, as being a descendant of Agag, the Amalekite king captured by Saul. The document analyzes the biblical theme of obedience being more important than sacrifice and connects this to Saul's disobedience in sparing Agag.
The beatitudes 1
First part of an examination of Christ's teaching on the Mount. Looking at the context and audience reaction.
The divided kingdom what and why
- The document discusses the divided kingdom of Israel after King Solomon's reign. It summarizes how the kingdom split into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah after Solomon's son Rehoboam became king.
- It then provides biblical examples of how division has occurred throughout scripture according to God's will to separate people, as well as lessons about keeping separate from the world as God's ecclesia while awaiting unity in God's kingdom.
- The key events that led to the divided kingdom are summarized, including the reigns and numbers of kings in both Israel and Judah, and how they were held accountable before ultimately falling or being conquered.
Cups and cupbearers
1. The document discusses the roles and significance of cupbearers and cups in scripture. Cupbearers were trusted royal servants who tasted drinks for poison and filled the king's cup.
2. Cups represented both blessings, like the cup of blessing for communion, and judgments, like the cup of God's wrath. Important cups included those mentioned in Ezekiel, Zechariah, and Revelation.
3. Joseph's silver cup was used to test his brothers, and cups symbolized the new covenant established by Jesus's blood in the Lord's Supper. Believers must worthily partake in communion by self-examination.
What jesus meant by before abraham was, i am
A consideration of some of the 'hard' sayings of Jesus. What did he mean by "before Abraham was, I am?"
What did jesus mean by i beheld satan fall from heaven laindon
Jesus was referring to Satan's original fall from heaven as described in scripture. When the 70 disciples returned from their mission announcing that even demons were subject to them through Jesus' name, Jesus saw this as Satan being cast down from heaven. He told them that while controlling spirits was significant, their true cause for rejoicing was that their names were written in heaven, referring to salvation. The document explores related biblical passages around demons, healing, and God's power over Satan.
True fellowship its present protection
1. The document discusses the importance of true fellowship between believers and outlines steps that can be taken to protect fellowship, including ensuring clarity about beliefs, spending time with those of like faith, and gently addressing errors according to Jesus' teachings in Matthew 18.
2. Maintaining oneness of mind is important, and errors of teaching require separation, though with a spirit of correction, not condemnation. Forgiveness is appropriate for matters of conduct but not issues of doctrine.
3. The next study will cover the future fulfillment of fellowship.
Hebrews priesthood
The document discusses the priesthood in scripture, focusing on Jesus' priesthood being after the order of Melchizedek rather than the Levitical order. It notes key differences between the Levitical and Melchizedek priesthoods and their implications. Specifically, (1) Jesus' priesthood provides believers a better hope and way of salvation through His one-time sacrifice, (2) all believers have the opportunity to become priests like Melchizedek rather than based on birthright alone, and (3) Jesus serves as a merciful high priest who can empathize with human struggles.
Themes in the hebrews better
The document discusses themes in the book of Hebrews from the Bible. The main themes are that Jesus and his sacrifice provide something better than what came before, including a better hope, priesthood, covenant, resurrection, and outcome for believers. It notes several verses that highlight these better things, such as Jesus being better than angels, his covenant and sacrifice being superior, and there being a better country and outcome for those who have faith.
Names and titles of the lord - prince of peace
This document is the agenda for a Bible class discussing names and titles of Jesus Christ, focusing on him as the Prince of Peace. The summary discusses how Jesus will bring peace both presently and in the future, referencing several Bible passages that describe a future time of peace and prosperity under Jesus' kingdom when he returns. It also notes how there was little peace in 1st century Judea and references Jesus weeping over Jerusalem's lack of recognition that he was their Prince of Peace.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
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.
