The document discusses how key elements of the gospel message, such as faith, repentance, confession, baptism and obedience, are found throughout the Old Testament. It provides examples from the Old Testament of figures like Noah, Abraham, David and Daniel demonstrating these elements. The document argues that while the gospel was promised in the Old Testament, it was fulfilled in the New Testament, and these elements remain important for followers of Christ today.
Solomon, with all his wealth, fame and power struggled with the real meaning of life. What is the bottom line of our purpose here? He finally concluded that the bottom line was to fear God, keep His commandments because everything else is unimportant and judgement is coming!
This document outlines the key topics discussed in the book of Romans. It explores Romans 1-11, covering themes like the glory of God, the problem of sin, holiness, the law, predestination, and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. The document also examines God's relationship with the Israelites and his plan for all people to hear the gospel, not just Jews.

Daniel prays to God in confession, acknowledging their sins and rebellion against God's commands. He references prophecies of Jeremiah that foretold the seventy year exile in Babylon as punishment for their disobedience. Daniel pleads with God to have mercy and forgive them, not because of their righteousness but because of God's great mercy. He begs God to act for the sake of Jerusalem and his people, who bear God's name.
This document discusses the problems that Ezra and Nehemiah confronted when the Israelites intermarried with idolatrous people after returning from exile in Babylon. Ezra was deeply saddened when he learned of the intermarriages and prayed in repentance. He then led the people to make a covenant to divorce foreign wives according to God's law. Similarly, Nehemiah was indignant to find that the people had continued intermarrying in his absence. He punished some and reminded them of God's command not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. The document warns that while God's grace is available, a non-believing marriage partner can hinder spiritual growth and pull one away from faith in God.

The document summarizes Acts 2:22 from the Bible. It recounts that the people of Israel were told to listen, and that Jesus of Nazareth was a man approved by God, as shown through the miracles, wonders, and signs that God performed through Jesus among the people, as they themselves knew. The passage is presented in multiple translations for completeness.
The sermon outlines how God acted throughout Israel's history, choosing them, delivering them from Egypt, giving them judges and kings, and ultimately fulfilling his promise to send a Savior in Jesus. It then focuses on three key points: 1) God promised through the prophets that Jesus would come as the Messiah. 2) God raised Jesus from the dead after he was crucified, as the Scriptures foretold. 3) Through Jesus, forgiveness of sins is proclaimed and believers are freed from what they could not be freed from by the law of Moses alone.

The document discusses the Christian journey as paralleling the journey of the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land. It states that for Christians, the world represents a wilderness that tests their faith through trials, just as the Israelites faced tests during their 40 years in the desert. However, it notes that God provides for believers' spiritual needs and security during this time, and promises a heavenly country, or Promised Land, for those who remain faithful to him. The document encourages Christians to endure hardships with confidence as they journey toward their eternal reward in the afterlife.
Jesus is superior to angels in three ways according to the document:
1) Jesus is called God's Son and receives worship from angels, while angels are never called God's son and refused worship.
2) Jesus is the eternal creator of all things, while angels simply serve God.
3) Jesus sits at God's right hand as the sovereign ruler of an everlasting kingdom, while angels are ministering spirits.

This document discusses mankind's intended role on earth as outlined in Genesis, to have dominion over the earth. It then reviews the United Church of God's online presence through their website, social media, and video hosting platforms. It encourages members to interact online, participate in services if able, provide words of encouragement, ask for God's will, give generously of time and resources, and find their gifts to fulfill their role in the body through good works.
God chose the Israelites, Levites, David, the twelve, Paul and others for special assignments and as part of a special group. God also chose you! Why did He choose them and us?
1) God sent his son Jesus into the world not to condemn it but to save it, and whoever believes in him will have eternal life rather than perish.
2) Jesus was born as a human and shared in humanity so that through his death he could destroy Satan and free humanity from slavery to the fear of death.
3) The angels announced Jesus' birth to the shepherds as good news that would be for all people, bringing salvation.
The Story of Jesus for Little Children: Coloring BookFreekidstories
God sent the angel Gabriel to tell Mary she would give birth to Jesus. Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem for the birth, where Jesus was born in a manger since the inn had no room. Jesus performed many miracles like feeding thousands with few fish and calming a storm. He taught about God's love. Jesus was executed but rose from the dead three days later, appearing to disciples for 40 days before ascending to heaven. God sent Jesus to show his love and bring people to him.
This document provides a summary of Daniel chapter 6, which recounts how Daniel was faithful to God even when faced with death for praying. It describes how Daniel rose to a high position but his enemies were jealous and tried to find fault with him. Unable to do so, they convinced the king to issue a decree banning prayer to any god but the king. Despite this, Daniel continued praying openly to God. He was arrested and condemned to death by lions. God protected Daniel in the lions' den, and he was rescued unharmed the next day while his accusers were killed. The king then issued a decree praising Daniel's God.
Nehemiah encouraged the Israelites to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem because they were in distress with the city in ruins. He told them that by rebuilding, they would no longer be objects of scorn. When opponents mocked their efforts, Nehemiah reminded the people that God would prosper them in this good work. He urged them to rise up and build, with confidence that God would help them succeed.
The document discusses themes of life, relationships, and faith. It contrasts the lives of Cain and Enoch, noting that Cain's life was built on achievements while Enoch's life was built on family, relationship, and community. Enoch walked with God for 300 years until God took him away, suggesting his life and faith were pleasing to God.
The document discusses the importance of passing faith from one generation to the next through teaching and example. It provides several biblical examples of generations serving and remembering the Lord as well as turning away when not taught. It emphasizes training children in the faith so that they will continue in it as they grow old and passing teachings on to others to spread faith to future generations.
This document outlines the genealogical lineage of Abraham through his two sons Ishmael and Isaac. It discusses the covenant God made with Abraham to make Ishmael a great nation and that twelve princes would come from him. The document provides biblical references that support Islam being the fulfillment of this promised blessing to Ishmael and his progeny. It argues that Islam has the most continuous and universal message because all prophets, including Abraham, were Muslim according to the teachings of the Quran and Hadith.
The document describes how an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him not to be afraid to take Mary as his wife, as the child conceived in her was from the Holy Spirit. Mary would give birth to a son named Jesus, who would save his people from their sins, fulfilling a prophecy. It also describes how Jesus, though God, became human and was born as a man in order to take away human sins through his death and sacrifice. All will one day acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God.
Jesus is unjustly put on trial by the Jews and the Romans. To the Jews, He affirms that He is the Christ and to the Romans He affirms that He is the King. Jesus’ trial reminds us that Jesus suffered like this so that we could be saved.

The document discusses the importance of humility. It provides several biblical passages that speak to being humble like a child in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus used a child as an example of being humble and having childlike faith. Other passages exhort being humble toward one another, not being proud but humble before God, acting with justice and mercy by walking humbly with God. True humility brings wealth, honor and life. The greatest example of humility is Jesus, who existed in God's nature but humbled himself by becoming human and obedient to death on the cross.
Daniel fasted and prayed for three weeks after the rebuilding of the Temple was opposed. He had a vision where a man clothed in linen touched him three times: first to listen, second to speak, and third to strengthen him for the revelation. This man was revealed to be the preincarnate Jesus. Gabriel had been fighting in the spiritual realm against demons trying to influence King Cyrus during Daniel's fasting and prayer. Michael, another name for Jesus, helped Gabriel in this spiritual battle and will help resurrect God's people. Angels often work behind the scenes in spiritual battles and on behalf of God's children.
The passage describes Jesus' encounter with Jews during the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem. When questioned if he is the Christ, Jesus points to his works which testify about who he is. He states his works are done in God's name and that his sheep hear his voice and follow him. The Jews attempt to stone Jesus for blasphemy, but he defends himself using scripture. Later, many come to believe in him after seeing the works he performed.
The document provides summaries of key events and people from the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. It discusses the sacred articles that were taken from the temple and later returned. It describes the people who returned from exile, including how most kept track of their genealogy and identity. It notes that Levites initially did not volunteer to return, so Ezra made a second call. The document also summarizes the repopulation of Jerusalem, the dedication of the rebuilt wall including two choirs led by Ezra and Nehemiah, and concludes with a quote about praising God.
The document summarizes the biblical story of Babel in Genesis 11, where all humanity spoke one language but decided to build a tower to make themselves famous. God responded by confusing their languages, scattering them across the earth and enforcing his command to spread out. It also discusses the origins of different ethnicities and races. The next section introduces Abraham, called at age 75 to leave Haran and given promises by God of land, descendants and blessing through his offspring. The covenant with Abraham sets the agenda for the rest of the Bible by being fulfilled through Christ.

They Were Glad to Take Him into the BoatDave Stewart
After feeding the 5000 the disciples still didn’t understand who Jesus was. So he sends them across the sea by themselves. But because of the winds, they cannot make it. Jesus, walking on the water, joins them and they arrive safely. This miracle reminds us to be astonished by Jesus, to know salvation is only in him and that we can arrive home only with him.
In this lesson a few examples are given that show that the men wrote the Bible made reference to facts that were not common knowledge at the time of their writing. How did they know these things? One explanation is that they were inspired by God, the creator of this world. This lesson helps us understand that the Bible really is from God, not man.
This document discusses addiction, guardians that protect the heart, and healing from addiction. It describes guardians as self-protective strategies developed when we cannot find comfort through loving connections. Addiction is defined as any pattern used to feel safe or comforted. The solution is to allow God to establish a sense of belonging in Him. Healing involves synchronizing with different parts of the heart that feel unvalued to help them know they are needed and not bad. The goal is internal reconciliation through validating each part's purpose and feelings.
The document discusses pictures and images, defining them as representations of people or things. It notes that a picture can convey information through themes and messages in a way that words cannot. The document explores how people can perceive the same picture differently based on their perspective. Several optical illusions are presented as examples. It suggests that God may use pictures to communicate with people, and provides tips for interpreting pictures or images from a spiritual perspective by focusing on God rather than personal experiences.
What if God loves and adores everything about you -- just because you're His Beloved and He is yours? These slide are for a talk given March 25, 2017 at Blazing Fire Church blazingfire.org To listen to Susan's talk, go to: http://blazingfire.podbean.com/e/we-are-the-beloved-susan-fochler/
Slides for our first week of the Brave Communication: Keeping Our Love On class for Blazing Fire's World Changes Equipping School 2015-2016. The last slide will play the Brene Brown - RSA short animation "Empathy".
This document outlines the topics and exercises covered in a series of classes on brave communication. The classes aim to help participants become more powerful and brave in their relationships by practicing understanding others, using "I" statements, and managing feelings. Key topics discussed include seeking to understand others, giving feedback when hurt, acknowledging feelings, practicing empathy, becoming aware of emotions, and reckoning with emotions through curiosity rather than denial. Participants are encouraged to explore how emotions were handled in their family of origin and ways they currently manage feelings.
This document provides information about healing brokenheartedness through connecting with one's true heart and releasing trauma. It discusses how early childhood emotional pain can lead to the creation of false beliefs and protective coping strategies. Trauma can cause parts of the heart to disconnect, resulting in brokenheartedness. The document describes a process called "heart sync" to reconcile different parts of a person's identity through validating each part's pain and purpose, and introducing Jesus to help replace false beliefs with truth. A key approach discussed is "presenting Jesus" which involves asking Him to be present during past traumatic events or decisions to provide a new perspective that can be freeing.
The document is a song that repeatedly expresses blessing upon God's name. It says God's name is blessed when His abundance flows, when walking through wilderness or desert, and even when suffering or darkness comes. The singer commits to continuing to praise God's name no matter what blessings are given or taken away.
The document is a song encouraging Christians to let their inner light shine by not being afraid and letting Jesus shine through them. It warns of creeping fears that try to blow out believers' lights and stop them from telling others about Jesus. The song repeats that believers should let their light shine by not being scared and letting Jesus' light shine through them as well, since giant fears are small when one sees only God.
This document is a compilation of Bible verses that reference Jesus Christ as the light of the world. It begins with John 8:12 where Jesus states "I am the light of the world." Several verses are provided that describe God as light and the light coming into the world. References are made to Jesus bringing salvation and revelation to those in darkness. The compilation emphasizes that by believing in Jesus, people will not remain in darkness but will become sons of light.
What is man? This lesson continues to examine the nature of man, show that the Bible teaches us that we all have a physical body, a living soul, an eternal spirit and an inner man. The focus of many of these passages remind us that one day we will be resurrected and judged, and we must live our lives knowing that where we spend eternity depends on how I live now, and whether I am obedient to my Lord and Savior.
The document discusses different views on the soul from various religious traditions and philosophers. It notes that in Christianity and many other religions, the soul is considered the spiritual and eternal essence of a living being, separate from the physical body. Ancient Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle viewed the soul as the core of a person's identity and essence that determines their behavior. The Bible also references the soul, with Christians typically believing the soul survives death and will be rewarded or punished by God. The document outlines different perspectives, with some scientists arguing consciousness is produced by the brain alone.
What did Jesus mean when he promised abundant life? We’ll explore both what that must not mean and what it does mean. This lesson will focus on the present life.

The Israelites demanded a king to rule over them like the other nations, despite Samuel warning them this was a rejection of God as their king. God told Samuel to appoint a king for them. The document provides historical context about the period of judges in Israel and contrasts the qualities of a godly king described in Deuteronomy versus the type of oppressive king the Israelites would get by rejecting God. It examines how worldviews influence decision making and contrasts a biblical worldview with a secular humanist view.
This document provides guidance for being a responsible shepherd of God. It emphasizes three key points: 1) Seeking God through prayer and inquiring of God's will, 2) Always relying on and submitting to God's will, 3) Always submitting to those in authority over you, such as spiritual leaders. The overall message is that shepherding God's people requires depending on God, following His will, and obeying those He has put in positions of authority.
This document contains multiple Bible passages from Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Isaiah, and Isaiah where characters are told "Fear not" or a similar message reassuring them not to be afraid. In many of the passages, God or a prophet tells the person/people not to fear because God is with them and will help or deliver them from their enemies. The passages are generally messages of reassurance and encouragement when facing dangers or difficulties.
The document provides an overview of a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on June 24, 2018. The sermon focused on God's covenant with King David as described in 2 Samuel 7:1-17. It discusses how this Davidic covenant, along with the Noahic, Abrahamic, Levitical, and New covenants, are part of God's overall plan to unite all things under Christ.

The document discusses the commandments of God and the end-time remnant who will keep them. It notes that the commandments were originally given to Israel at Mount Sinai but that under the new covenant, God's law will be written on the heart rather than tablets of stone. It explores why some Christians struggle to keep God's commandments and asserts that true love for God will lead believers to obey his law. The remnant are described as having God's law in their hearts through his transforming power so that they can fulfill its requirements.
God delivered Israel with a mighty hand. However, there came a time when the Northern Kingdom of Israel forgot God. They forgot that he led them out of Egypt. They forgot that he drove giants out of their way and enabled them to enter the Promised Land. They forgot and became a sinful nation that silenced God's prophets and those committed to following Him, even leading them astray. They drove God to "Redeemer's Remorse" leading God to regret having acted on their behalf. God's strong judgment reminds us of the importance of living justly and uprightly.
The document provides an overview and summary of 2 Samuel 7:1-17, which establishes God's covenant with King David. It discusses how Nathan initially told David he could build a temple, but God later told Nathan the promises made to David. God promised to make David's name great, give Israel rest from enemies, establish David's kingdom forever, and that one of David's descendants would build a temple for God's name. The document also summarizes the 5 unconditional covenants God made: Noahic, Abrahamic, Levitical, Davidic, and New Covenants, and how they relate to God's plan to unite all things in Christ.
This document discusses how individuals can manifest the glory within them by following certain principles. It begins by providing biblical references about trees choosing a king and outlines how glory is found within a person, not based on external factors. It then details seven steps to manifesting one's glory, including having a dynamic relationship with God, conceiving an uncommon dream, continual self-development, accepting personal responsibility, believing in oneself, developing expertise in a niche, and competing globally. The objective is to empower people to reach their full potential.
1. Saul was instructed by God through Samuel to completely destroy the Amalekites for their past attacks on Israel. However, Saul spared King Agag and the best livestock, disobeying God's command.
2. Samuel confronts Saul and names his sins as rebellion against God's authority and presumption in thinking he knew better than God. Saul offers excuses but acknowledges wrongdoing.
3. Because of Saul's sins of rebellion and presumption, Samuel tells Saul that God has rejected him as king over Israel. Samuel refuses to return with Saul, showing the consequences of disobeying God's commands.
The document outlines God's presentation of grace through seven acts in biblical history. It shows how God established fellowship, provision, and promises with mankind from Adam and Eve to the present age. This pattern helps believers understand God's continual work and builds confidence that he will fulfill his promises in the future. Having trust in God has always been essential in all ages.
When it rains it pours, right? Have you had the experience of life's circumstances being terrible, and then find yourself hounded by belligerent people and/or betrayed by those closest to you?
That's where David is--holding an "umbrella" when all hell has broken loose. But through the storm, we know that we can still trust God, the author and perfecter of our faith.
2 Samuel 7.8-21 - Established Second Baptist Summer 2018Lazarou Richard
God promised David that he would establish one of his descendants as the leader of Israel. God told David that he would build David a house and establish his kingdom forever. God said that when David died, one of his offspring would come from his body and build a temple for God's name, and God would establish his throne forever. This promise to David established that one of his descendants would have an everlasting kingdom and throne.

1 Peter 3:13-22: As Peter continues to encourage us through our exile, he reminds us that though we my suffer and come to harm, God wants to bless us. So we don’t have to fear or be troubled, we keep Jesus in our hearts as Lord, and we tell others of our hope. The example of Christ reminds us that Jesus suffered also, but was blessed.

1 Peter 2:13-3:12Peter’s exhortation to be subject to government, masters, husbands, wives, and that all of us are thoughtful of others is difficult for most of us, especially when we face suffer because of those who are unjust. Peter reminds us that because of our relationship with God, we must continue to do good, especially by sharing the good news of Jesus with them.

1 Peter 2:21-25: Peter reminds these exiles that they have two wars: their flesh and the unbelievers.

1 Peter 1:13 - 2:3: Because we have been ransomed through Jesus and we are anticipating the revelation of Jesus, Peter helps us understand three keys in how we spend our time in exile: 1) preparing your minds for action; 2) being sober-minded; and 3) having your hope set fully on God’s grace. https://youtu.be/QEXw_qG0SfE
1 Peter 1:1-12: Peter gives the elect exiles reasons to praise God, based on his mercy and power. It is an expression of his grace toward us and the glory he has planned for us. So that we love him, believe in him and rejoice in our salvation in him.

Acts 7:20-29: Moses sought to be with his brothers but they rejected him. And he was exiled. Cain refused to care for his brother, and he was alone. But it’s not good for man to be alone. Why do we slip into the thinking of Cain so easily and find ourselves alone? Being brothers is not easy, but let brotherly love continue.
Of all the metaphors for believers, the one most often used in the NT is “adelphos” (siblings, brothers and sisters). After Jesus’ ascension the company who gathered in the upper room consisted of both men and women, and Peter calls all of them brethren. In Acts 15, both Jewish believers and Gentile believers are called brethren.
Parts of this lesson based on “Reclaiming the Church Family: A Solution to the Corporate-Church Crisis)” by Matthew T. Kimbrough
https://youtu.be/p0EU18quc8s
The document discusses Jesus Christ's relationship to believers as their brother. It notes that Christ partook of flesh and blood to become like his brothers in every way so that he could be a merciful and faithful high priest to help those who are tempted. As the Son of God, Christ calls believers his brothers and sisters and shares in their humanity so that he can bring many sons and daughters to glory. The document encourages believers that as holy brothers and sisters of Christ, they share in his heavenly calling from God.

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.

taittreya upanishad - tradition of yoga and Upanishads, this concept of panch...Karuna Yoga Vidya Peetham
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.
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).
