What is unique about the "great tribulation" to the typical trials of life or the holocaust and other cataclysms and tribulations? When will it occur? Why? Is there hope? How should those who identify with Jesus as their Savior and Lord, and have His Spirit dwelling within them respond?
The document describes the beast that will arise during the end times tribulation period. It summarizes that the beast will be a powerful, charismatic world leader who unites nations and brings a sense of security. Scriptural references indicate the beast will have attributes resembling the leopard, bear, and lion from Daniel's visions, representing the Greek, Persian, and Babylonian empires. The beast will have great power and authority given by the dragon (Satan) and will exalt himself above all gods.
The document provides a summary and analysis of Revelation chapter 12 and the beginning of chapter 13 from the Bible. It describes a vision of a woman representing God's people being persecuted by a dragon representing Satan. Satan is defeated and cast down to Earth where he persecutes the woman's offspring. It then discusses two beasts described in chapter 13 - the first coming out of the sea representing a powerful kingdom, and the second coming out of the earth representing a false prophet who promotes worship of the first beast. The document analyzes the symbolism and provides context from other biblical passages.
This document discusses God's original plan for humanity to have dominion over the earth and its resources. It describes how Adam forfeited this position through disobedience but that Jesus restored it through his obedience. Now believers can regain dominion in the different spheres of society (mountains) through love, obedience and worship of God. As change agents in their spheres of influence, from business to government, Christians can see God's will manifest on earth as in heaven.
The document discusses the great controversy between Christ and Satan over God's character and sovereignty. It describes how Satan rebelled against God in heaven and was cast out, after which he tempted Adam and Eve to sin. This led to the distortion of humanity and entrance of sin and death into the world. However, Jesus came to earth and lived a perfect life to pay the penalty for sin and offer salvation. The conflict originated in heaven and is now playing out on earth, with the loyal angels and Holy Spirit helping God's people, until God's love and character are fully vindicated.
The woman represents Israel and the church. A male child is born who will rule the nations, referring to Jesus. The dragon is Satan who stands ready to devour the child. Michael and his angels defeat Satan. The woman flees into the wilderness for 1,260 days, representing a time of persecution. Throughout the vision, Satan and his forces stand against God and His people, but God ultimately protects and provides for His faithful followers.
Jesus is the prophesied King, but his kingdom was not of this world during his first coming. He will one day return to establish his eternal kingdom on earth from Jerusalem. The scriptures foretell that Jesus would be conceived as the Son of God, perform miracles demonstrating his deity, and reign over the house of Jacob forever. However, during his first coming the Jewish rulers rejected Jesus as their King. Jesus will fully assume his role as King when he returns to reign over the earth for 1,000 years at the start of the Millennium.
The document discusses the nature of man according to Christian theology. It states that man was created in God's image with freedom of will but fell into sin. As a result, humanity now has a sinful nature and is mortal. However, God reconciled humanity to himself through Jesus Christ and restores the divine image in believers through his spirit. Christians are called to love God, their neighbors, and care for the environment.

It recounts how the land was divided and cities of refuge established before Joshua's farewell reinforced serving God alone.
Who is the Antichrist? What is his mission? Why will God permit his rise to power? What does the Bible declare will happen to Israel and the gentile nations because of him? What will be his end? How does he counterfeit Christ?

The Great Harlot represents Jerusalem and Israel who committed spiritual adultery and prostitution through idolatry. The document examines scriptural references where Israel is referred to as a harlot due to her unfaithfulness to God. It identifies Jerusalem as the Great City that reigns over the earth and is contrasted with the holy New Jerusalem. Jerusalem shed the blood of believers through persecuting and killing prophets and followers of Christ. Symbols of the Harlot represent Israel appropriating symbols of God's priesthood while practicing pagan rituals. Israel took on identities of Egypt and Babylon due to adopting their occult beliefs, seen also in the anti-Christian Talmud and Kabbalah.

The angel shows John a vision of a woman sitting on a scarlet beast with seven heads and ten horns. The woman, referred to as the great harlot, represents a city that rules over the earth and its kings. She is dressed in fine clothing and jewels and holds a golden cup that represents the sins and immoral acts she has committed.

King Solomon loved many foreign women and held fast to them, taking 700 wives and 300 concubines. His wives turned Solomon's heart away from the Lord. God was angry with Solomon and said He would tear the kingdom from Solomon's son because Solomon did not keep God's commandments.

The Mark Of The Beast Or The Seal Of Godguest6a4ef8
THE MARK OF THE BEAST WILL BE FINALIZED WHEN THE NATIONAL (WORLDWIDE) SUNDAY LAW IS PASSED, AND WHEN ALL OF MANKIND HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE EITHER GOD OR SATAN; GOD'S PEOPLE WILL BE SEALED BY MAKING THEIR DECISION TO FOLLOW CHRIST JESUS (SEVENTH) DAY, NOT SUNDAY.
1. The document discusses Jesus' criticism of the generation of his time for rejecting both the teachings of John the Baptist and himself. It says they thought both were wrong but that their teachings were justified by the repentance and renewal they brought.
2. It contrasts this with the counterfeit wisdom of the world that is concerned with riches and pride, noting how Satan fell from his original position through such corruption of wisdom.
3. It outlines Satan's five step fall from his original role as an anointed cherub to his future judgment in the lake of fire, going through stages of being cast down to earth and bound for set periods of time.
The document provides an in-depth analysis of the parable of the treasure hid in a field and the pearl of great price from Matthew 13. It argues that in both parables:
- The "man" refers to God/Christ
- The "treasure" refers to Israel as God's chosen people
- The "field" refers to the world
- Christ "purchased" the field/world by shedding his blood on the cross to redeem Israel and all humanity.
The analysis uses numerous scripture references to support interpreting the parables as portraying God's plan to redeem and restore Israel through sending his son Jesus Christ.

Bible Readings for ModuleWeek 2Parable of the Wheat and TaresChantellPantoja184
The document contains summaries of several Bible passages. It discusses the Parable of the Wheat and Tares, about allowing both wheat and weeds to grow together until harvest. It also discusses concepts like the fear of God being the beginning of knowledge, sin entering the world, strength coming from God not man, choosing right over wrong, and responsibility. The document seeks to provide guidance on biblical principles for living.
The document summarizes a Bible passage about Jeroboam rebelling against King Solomon. It describes how the prophet Ahijah prophesied that Jeroboam would become king of 10 Israelite tribes. Jeroboam set up golden calves for worship instead of following God's command to worship only in Jerusalem. A man of God from Judah condemned this and prophesied the destruction of Jeroboam's altar. When the man of God disobeyed God's command not to eat or drink in Bethel, he was killed by a lion as God had warned would happen. The document encourages studying the Bible and having a personal relationship with God to avoid being misled.
1. The document discusses Genesis 11 and the scattering of people across the earth after the Tower of Babel incident. It suggests God placed lesser divine beings or "sons of God" over the nations but that some rebelled, becoming the false gods worshipped by various peoples.
2. The text explores references indicating God's plan to make Israel his holy nation but that would also bring salvation to other nations. However, the world is currently under the evil control of spiritual forces that rebelled against God.
3. Believers are called to develop a supernatural worldview and spiritual warfare skills to overcome these cosmic powers, having been transferred out of Satan's evil domain through Christ.
This document discusses three objects that secured Rahab's salvation when she helped the Israelites:
1. A strong cord, referring to Rahab using a cord to lower the Israelite spies from her window to escape.
2. A sure thread, being the scarlet thread Rahab tied in her window so the Israelites would know to spare her family.
3. A strait line, meaning the instructions Rahab followed to be saved through her faith in the God of Israel. The summary emphasizes how these three elements can provide victory even when earthly security fails, like the walls of Jericho. Faith in God through Christ serves as an anchor for the soul.
Melchizedek is described in the Bible as a historical figure who was both the king of Salem and a priest of God Most High. Some key details are that he blessed Abraham and received a tithe from him, had no record of his ancestry, and acted as a priest continually. The document discusses possible interpretations of Melchizedek, including that he prefigures Jesus Christ and anticipates aspects of his role as high priest. One possibility presented is that Melchizedek was the biblical figure Shem, Noah's son, though his identity ultimately remains mysterious.
This document summarizes key events from Genesis 35:
1) God tells Jacob to return to Bethel and build an altar. Jacob purifies himself and his household from foreign gods.
2) God renames Jacob as "Israel" and blesses him with numerous descendants who will become a great nation.
3) Jacob builds an altar at Bethel in worship of God. However, Rachel dies during childbirth along the journey.
4) The document concludes with Isaac's death at 180 years old, buried by his sons Jacob and Esau. The overall message is that God is with His people even during difficult travels and seasons of life.

This document discusses the meaning and implications of the Hebrew word "ekev" found in Deuteronomy 7:12. It begins by providing the English translation of the verse. It then analyzes the meaning and spelling of "ekev", noting it can mean "heel", "circumvent", or "come from behind". Alternative spellings and pronunciations are also discussed. The deeper implications of Jacob holding onto Esau's heel at birth and the prophecy of the serpent bruising the heel are explored. References are made to the last generation hearing God's word and walking in his commandments before the coming of the Messiah. Overall, the document delves deeply into the Hebrew to extract multiple layers of meaning
The document discusses evidence from the Old Testament that suggests Jesus existed with God the Father from the beginning. It notes that the Hebrew letter Aleph represents God and an ox/bull, pointing to the Father and Son. Other Hebrew letters like Lamed represent concepts like guide and authority that apply to the relationship between the Father and Son. The document presents additional examples from Scripture depicting the Father and Son sharing glory and power, such as the two crowns on the table of showbread.
A verse by verse commentary on Jeremiah 5 dealing with God's willingness to forgive the city is one honest person can be found, but He knows not one will be found. The house of Israel and Judah are so unfaithful they are like adulterers who are sex fanatics for other gods.God will destroy them, but not completely.
apparent contradiction in the bible Ahaziah.pdfBible Preaching
Ahaziah was anointed to be king of Judah at age 22 but did not sit on the throne until age 42. He was the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, but also considered the son-in-law of Ahab, king of Israel, through marriage to one of Ahab's daughters or Jehoram's daughters. There is evidence that Ahaziah had a joint reign with both Jehoshaphat and Ahab prior to becoming sole king of Judah due to the political alliances between their kingdoms.

Isaac grows old and his eyes dim, so he asks his son Esau to hunt venison so he can bless him before death. Rebekah overhears and tricks Isaac into blessing Jacob instead by disguising him as Esau. When Esau discovers this, he vows to kill Jacob after Isaac's death. Rebekah sends Jacob away to her brother Laban's house to avoid Esau's wrath until his anger subsides. The document examines themes of sight, struggle, and separation within the passage and concludes that true comfort comes through sanctification by the Holy Spirit rather than human schemes.
Isaac sowed crops and received a hundredfold return, prospering greatly with flocks, herds, and servants. However, the Philistines grew envious and stopped up wells dug by Isaac's father. Abimelech told Isaac to leave, so he moved and redug the wells, persevering despite opposition. Through patience, diligence, and recognizing God's blessings, Isaac retained prosperity and found peace at Rehoboth. The document examines the proper means to prosperity through effort, God's favor, enduring hardship patiently, and gratitude.

1. The Waiting - Describes Isaac praying for 20 years for children like Abraham waited.
2. The Wondering - References Rebekah wondering what was happening in her body as the twins struggled.
3. The Warring - Discusses the twins (Jacob and Esau) warring in the womb and foreshadowing their relationship, with the younger serving the older.

This document discusses the life of Isaac based on passages from the Bible. It is divided into three sections:
I. Leaving - Discussing Isaac after the death of his father Abraham.
II. Receiving - How God blessed Isaac after Abraham's death.
III. Residing - Mentions Isaac resided by the well Lahairoi, the same place where Hagar met an angel and where Isaac lived when he married Rebekah.
The document uses Isaac's life to draw parallels about having strength in times of loss and how God provides for those who trust in him.

The document discusses the importance and power of God's word as revealed in scripture. It notes that the disciples could relate their eyewitness experience of Jesus' transfiguration on the Mount because they had God's word in writing to back up their testimony. It then provides numerous Bible verses emphasizing that the word of God is perfect, eternal, a light, spirit, judge, saves souls, true, faithful, settled in heaven, should not be blasphemed, pure, and holy.
Rebekah is presented as a type of the Christian church in the Old Testament. Some key points:
1) Rebekah is a Gentile who marries Isaac, representing Christians (Gentiles) joining with Christ (promised seed).
2) She is called out of her homeland and family to follow Abraham's servant to marry Isaac, representing Christians being called out of the world.
3) She believes and follows in faith without seeing Isaac first, representing the Christian's faith in an unseen God.
4) She accepts the proposal brought to her by Abraham's servant, representing Christians accepting the offer of salvation brought by the Holy Spirit.
5) The gifts given to her fore
The document argues that the overturning of Roe v. Wade highlights the need to abstain from premarital sex or "fornication" as commanded in the Bible. It provides several biblical passages from Acts, 1 Corinthians, Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, and Revelation that prohibit fornication and command believers to abstain from it. The document claims abstaining from fornication, rather than defending abortion rights, should be the focus for Christians in light of the new ruling.
This document discusses how one can prove their love for God through desire, obedience, and commitment. It examines several Bible passages to support this. Specifically, it argues that love for God is shown through: 1) Craving His word and hiding it in one's heart to avoid sin; 2) Compliance with His commands, as Jesus complied with the Father's command to lay down His life; and 3) Commitment to watch, pray, and follow God's word at all times, as Jesus was committed to the Father's commandment. The document concludes by summarizing that love for God is proven through desire for His word, demonstration of obedience to His commands, and determined commitment to follow His word.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

King Size Compromise
1. King Size Compromise
Rebellion of the highest order
There are some compromises that are good and
legitimate, however there are some things in life that
cannot be compromised.
“A compromise is an agreement whereby both parties
get what neither of them wanted”
You cannot compromise a single-person umbrella into a
two-person umbrella, or it will no longer function as
designed.
The history of the kings of Israel and Judah show
clearly the principles of life that must not be
compromised.
2. 1)Compromiseof Control - 1Kgs 12
It starts in the nursery as kids crave the other childes
toy;
Then the teenager gravitates to some sort of apple
device, to keep the endorphins and adrenalin flowing.
Then the adult seeks ways to control people and
circumstances to his perceived favor.
If the opportunity will allow the human nature would
manipulate all the world to satisfy his own wants and
wishes.
A Christian has relinquished control of his life to
Christ.
Phil 4:5
5) Let your moderation be known unto all men. The
Lord is at hand.
The Christian’s control center is headquartered beyond
the reach of any human telescope.
This is illustrated clearly in the life of King Jeroboam
1Kgs 12:26-31
26) And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the
kingdom return to the house of David:
3. 27) If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the
LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people
turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of
Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to
Rehoboam king of Judah.
28) Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two
calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for
you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel,
which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
29) And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he
in Dan.
30) And this thing became a sin: for the people went to
worship before the one, even unto Dan.
31) And he made an house of high places, and made
priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the
sons of Levi.
The decree from God’s control tower:
1Kgs 11:31, 33
31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for
thus saith the LORD,the God of Israel, Behold, I will
rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will
give ten tribes to thee:…(and God didn’t ask Jeroboam
for permission or input on the matter)
33 Because that they have forsaken me, and have
worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians,
Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god
of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my
ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to
4. keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his
father.
27) If the people go up to Jerusalem, then shall they
turn again unto their lord, Rehoboam
(Who made you king- God or the people? Why is he
identifying the people as subjects of Rehoboam?)
Prov 3:5-6
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not
unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct
thy paths.
(1K 12:28) Whereupon the king took counsel, and made
two calves of gold
Prov 29:25
The fear of man bringeth a snare:but whoso putteth his
trust in the LORD shall be safe.
1K 12:27b …they shall kill me, and go again to
Rehoboam king of Judah.
1Cor 1:19-20
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and will bring to nothing the understanding of the
prudent.
5. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the
disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the
wisdom of this world?
(1K 12:28) …Whereupon the king took counsel- foolish
counsel
Ps 106:43
43) Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked
him with their counsel, and were brought low for their
iniquity.
Isa 9:6
6) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his
name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty
God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
6. 1) Compromise of Control
2) Compromiseof Companionship- Jehoshaphat
If you demand God compromise His control over the
affairs of your life; the next logical step is He must also
be satisfied with occasional visitation because you have
other relationships to build.
The Compromise of Companionship is clearly
illustrated by the life of King Jehoshaphat.
1Kgs 22:4
4) And he [Ahab] said unto Jehoshaphat,Wilt thou go
with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat
said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art,my people as
thy people, my horses as thy horses.
2Chr 18:1
Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance,
and joined affinity with Ahab.
2Chr 17 Jehoshaphat’s rise to power-
1-6 He succeeds Asa and reigns well-
7-9 He sends Levites out to teach-
10-11 His enemies bring him presents and tribute-
12-19 He builds castles, cities and a great army-
7. 2Chr 18:1
Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance,
and joined affinity with Ahab.
(What could Ahab offer Jehoshaphat?)- companionship
of an equal, not a subordinate.
The unchecked passions of the heart have been the
demise of many a powerful king.
(Rehoboam had heart trouble)
2Chr 12:14
14) And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart
to seek the LORD.
(Amaziah the 9th king of Judah)
2Chr 25:2
2) And he did that which was right in the sight of the
LORD,but not with a perfect heart.
You decide what will be in your heart-
Prov 3:3-4
3) Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them
about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine
heart:
4) So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in
the sight of God and man.
If you have obeyed Pr 3:3-4 don’t compromise it…
8. Prov 4:23
23) Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are
the issues of life.
Any human companionship that is equal to or greater
than your relationship to God, makes you the enemy of
God.
Jas 4:4
4) Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the
friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever
therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of
God.
9. 1)Compromise of Control
2)Compromise of Companionship
3)Compromiseof Chaos- Manasseh
If you compromise control.
The next step is Compromise of Companionship
And soon you will find yourself in Chaos
2Chr 33:9-10
So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of
Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen,
whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of
Israel.
10) And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his
people: but they would not hearken.
11) Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the
captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took
Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with
fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the
workers of iniquity may hide themselves. Job 34:22
10. Like the old-time trapper of days gone by; trying to
sneak through the woods with his pelts undetected by
the Indians; not noticing they are all around him.
Many men try to sneak through this life with all the
selfish gain they can get, and hope God doesn’t see; but,
there is nothing hid from the eyes of Him with whom
we have to do.
Lam 3:7
He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he
hath made my chain heavy.
When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait,
(for the people were distressed,) then the people did
hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks,
and in high places, and in pits. (1Sam 13:6)
11. Conclusion-
A Christian either depends on God or compromises with
catastrophe.
Ps 88:8
8) Thou hast …
Compromise of control does not control the Almighty-
…put away mine acquaintance far from me;
Compromise of Companionship leads to an empty life-
…thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am
shut up, and I cannot come forth.
The briar patch of chaos is God’s stop sign for
compromise.
A good idea is to sit down and write out what you know
are the directives of scripture, and never compromise in
those areas.
