Protestants just making thr theology up as they go. Tragic
I really wish you guys would continue and do chapter 12. I definitely have some questions about that chapter.
One of the features overlooked by the adherents of dispensationalism is its claim that certain prophetic events are yet to be fulfilled in the future which implies that Jesus cannot return at this very moment because these so-called events have not yet taken place. A second claim is that God saved man in different ways at different times. This claim by Darby contradicts the statement in Hebrews that says that nothing ever pleased God except faith (Hebrews 11:6).
In Gal. 6:16 the Church us not called the Israel of God. In Acts 19:32 a mob of idolaters is in Greek hay ekklaysia. Which are they? Israel or the Church? You guys don't understand English. So safer for you little boys if you avoid Greek.
I'm a late sub but enjoy your teaching ministry. GOD BLESS.
It will not be the same battle. Well, from where did those armies come in Rev. 20:8-9? Hey. Wake up. The text says that one thousand years has elapsed! That millenium has been another dispensational test of mankind. Even under ideal conditions, many men have waited for their opportunity to rebel. This explains this dispensational distinctive, that during this administrative test there has been no devil or demons to deceive. Yet the evil heart of man has not loved God, despite the paradise setting.
PROPHECY: The ABOMINATION of DESOLATION Mark 13:14 KJV But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: Matthew 24:15 KJV When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) A spiritual clue. A difficult clue for ALL, agreed. The Antichrist controls the “nations” today. ABOMINATION is the MAN. The Antichrist DESOLATION is Gomorrah ”stand in the holy place” is your 3 rd Temple. The Antichrist will destroy “Babylon” under the guise of WW3. He has already made multiple threats but none see. The Antichrist will become KING 8 (Rev 17:11) FULFULLIING SCRIPTURE The Antichrist will move his “new” Dominion “seat” from Babylon to Gomorrah just 300 miles from MOUNT ZION and home of the LDS CHURCH. During this time he will reveal his CHURCH, the LDS. (Gadreel was MORONI, there is NO MORONI) The Antichrist has representation in Sodom and Sodom has a Pyramid (nice touch). Gomorrah is not far from Sodom on the big map. ---- When the Antichrist first sits in his new “seat” Scripture is FULFILLED. Jesus may come at any MOMENT after. Daniel 11:45 KJV And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. ---- Gomorrah is “between the seas” the Pacific & Atlantic Rev 18:21 KJV And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. ----Spiritual “Babylon” is Washington DC ----Spiritual “Sodom” is Las Vegas ----Spiritual “Gomorrah” is Salt Lake City ----Antichrist is “Gadreel” or TRUMP ----"bottomless pit" is in NYC where Twin Towers stood Eze 33:31-33 KJV And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not. And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them. Enoch (PROPHET) (Watchman for this LAST GENERATION)
So, do you believe in Replacement Theology? I didn't think so until now.
The Witnesses are literal all of this passage can be taken literally! You have to twist and distort the text and empty out all of Gods word and its meaning to accept an ahmillenial position! We do not have the right to tell God what He meant by His literal Word. We must show faith in reading and accepting what is Written. Christ will return and rule the nations for a literal 1000 years. God Bless brothers and sisters!😁
Okay there are so many people who completely Miss what's going on. The two witnesses are exactly that, two witnesses and for 3 and 1/2 years they will prophesy against the Antichrist. According to actual text, they will show up right after the Antichrist signs a treaty with Israel and the rest of the world. They will be killed by the Antichrist himself and they would be dead for 3 days. On the third day they will rise again and go up to heaven. This is after the pre-tribulation rapture, and there will be some time between the pre-tribulation rapture and the rise of the Antichrist. The time is unknown but when it does take place and he signs the 7 -year treaty with Israel, that is the countdown for The beginning of the wrath of God. At this time, as everybody who knows prophecy understands, God will be bringing Israel under his fold. The survivors of Israel, at the end of the 7-year tribulation, would all turn to heaven and say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, at that time the Lord will return to the Earth and set up his millennial Kingdom. Stay away from false prophets and bad teachers.
The "two witnesses" are Elijah & Enoch, they are here now. The ANTICHRIST was revealed in 2020, it is TRUMP. PreTrib does not exist, as we are nearing the midpoint of Tribulation NOW. The 1st Resurrection happens just after midpoint. Enoch (PROPHET)
In the french bible translation from pastor David Martin in 1755, it is written: "he looks like THE lamb and he speak like THE dragon". Scuse my bad english.
Here are the KINGS of Rev 17:10-11 1 JFK (becomes “false prophet” (“Q” is first letter of spirit name) 2 RFK 3 JFK, jr 4 Bush Sr 5 Bush Jr 6 Trump (Antichrist) (Gadreel spirit) (also False Prophet) at this time 7 Biden (Apollyon spirit) 8 Trump (Antichrist with Gadreel’s spirit) KING 1 dies and comes back as “False Prophet” or “son of perdition” The spirit of the False Prophet moves to Elon Musk at the time of the twitter purchase. Follow the “Tesla”. Remember, the Trump family has the Tesla secrets. ALL KINGS are American Spiritual “Babylon” is Washington DC Spiritual “Sodom” is Las Vegas Spiritual “Gomorrah” is Salt Lake City The “bottomless pit” is in NYC. Seal 4 (Rev 6) is the opening of the pit releasing “Death” and “Hell”. Death is the False Prophet and Hell is Apollyon (Ruler of Hell) Ephesians 6:12 KJV For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Hope this helps some, Enoch (Prophet) (Watchman for the Last Generation)
More Scripture support. Daniel 7:8 KJV I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. ---- “three of the first horns plucked up by the roots” KINGS 1,2,3 Rev 17:10 Daniel 7:20 KJV And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. ---- “before whom three fell” KINGS 1,2,3 Rev 17:10 ----"whose look was more stout than his fellows" defines TRUMP Daniel 7:24 KJV And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. ---- “he shall subdue three kings” Bush (King 4), John McCain (King), John Podesta (King). Remember TRUMP (Antichrist) killed BUSH, McCAIN, and "subdued" PODESTA within minutes after taking office.. Revelation 13:3 KJV And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. --”one of his heads as it were wounded to death” King 1 (JFK) Enoch (Prophet) (Watchman for the Last Generation)
Revelation 17:10-11 … (Explained)…”AND ONE IS” Rev 17:10 KJV And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. ---- “five are fallen’ the first 5 have lost their Dominion. ---- “and one is” this is from 2016 to 2020. That is TRUMP who carries Gadreel, he has Dominion. ----- “and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. This is BIDEN. Biden carries Apollyon. Both Apollyon and False Prophet will be taken SOON, before his end of office. This is how we know Rev 17:10-11 is for TODAY and not hundreds of years ago like you’re being told by False Prophets. ”AND ONE IS” … remember it, it’s IMPORTANT. It “pinpoints” the Antichrist also. Was it supposed too, perhaps? Rev 17:11 KJV And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. ---- “and is of the seven” means he is one of the 7 KINGS of Rev 17:10 ---- This tells us that KING 8 is one of the 7 NAMES. Kings 1 thru 4 are DEAD. King 5 is not running for office. King 7 will be taken SOON. That leaves KING 6 or TRUMP. Daniel 7:20 KJV (confirms) And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. ---- “whose look was more STOUT than his fellows” confirms TRUMP Hope this helps some, Enoch (Prophet) (Watchman for this Last Generation)

Preachers GET OUT OF THE PAST. Revelation is about the LAST Generation, this GENERATION, not hundreds of years ago. Your teachings are incorrect. Enoch (PROPHET)
Rev 16:6 ISV You have given them blood to drink because they spilled the blood of saints and prophets. This is what they deserve.” Mat 23:35-36 ISV 35 As a result, you will be held accountable for all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel to the blood of Berechiah’s son Zechariah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36 I tell all of you with certainty, all these things will happen to those living today.” YOU AND THAT GENERATION! ITS A COVENANETAL JUDGEMENT ON APOSTATE ISRAEL AND THE PASSING OF THE OLD HEAVENS AND EARTH (OLD COVENANT) TO THE NEW HEAVENS AND EARTH (NEW COVENANT)😊
The TRUE Six Seals of Revelation 6 may help some, so here are the 6 Seals. Seal 1 - 1066 William the Conqueror (1066 means chosen one, secret society) --this is a “pin” in the timeline, the start of Gadreel’s “reign”. --Now we move on to End Days. Seal 2 - 1914 Beginning of World Wars (WWI & WWII) (nation will fight nation) Seal 3 - 1948 Formation of Israel (Land) This is a joke to the Lord. Israel is the body of Christ not a piece of land Seal 4 - 2001 Opening of the bottomless pit in NYC. The pit was opened releasing Death and Hell. Death is the False Prophet and Hell is Apollyon Seal 5 - 2024 The 1st Resurrection (Rev 20).. Seal 6 - 2027-2028 The 2nd Death or Judgement (Rev 20). This happens 3 1/2 years after the 1st Resurrection. Hope this will help some, Enoch (PROPHET) (Watchman for this LAST GENERATION)
The Prophecy is about the two witnesses PROPHECY: The SIGN of JONAS Matthew 16:4 KJV A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed. ***When the “two witnesses” are killed, lie on display for 3 days, then ascend to Heaven…. That is the “SIGN of JONAS” being FULFILLED. It marks the END of the 1 st half of Tribulation. In the same hour “Sodom” (Las Vegas) will get a HUGE earthquake killing 7000 Men and destroying 1/10 the city. This earthquake starts the 2 nd half of Tribulation. Below is more Scripture to help. Matthew 12:40 KJV For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whales belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Amen. Great study guys. I believe your not doing a disservice to the text. Preach boldly with power and truth.
Thank you!
That broke my heart at the end. I wept. Who am I that I should ever pity myself? Thank you brothers
Praise God! I love love LOVE how you owned the fact, Mark, that you were once one who hissed at reproof in truth, instead of acting shocked at how someone could do such a thing! Titus 3:3
My heart still is a battle zone against my flesh daily, but back then it was total darkness and spiritual deadness. I am so glad the Lord did not leave me there where I deserved to be!
@@MarkNorthAveChurchAmen I truly did not mean to imply in any way that once we are humbled and pierced in our hearts by the true Gospel that we are done being humbled and pierced. I am led by the Spirit of Truth to repent of myself every day
So where does the prophet Elijah fit into your eschatology? In Mal 4:5 it clearly says he will come before the great and dreadful day of the Lord. That day has not come yet, even if you argue that the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem was the fulfillment of verse 5, this event was not the worst thing to come upon the Jews. The day spoken of is the end of the age as described in Matt 24:4-31. A better argument can be made for Elijah being one of the two witnesses, while the other can either be Enoch or even the Apostle John, since he was not martyred and his body never recovered, nor is there a burial site to this day. When you merge the literal with the spiritual, or speculative, you will never come to a true understanding of the story the word of God is telling. Interested in what you think. Blessings!
just have to refer to Jesus on this one; ""For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come" (Matthew 11:13-14)
Did Jesus not answer that? Matt 11:14
@jamesenewold8864 I agree. Also we see the time line in acts ch 2. Peter makes it clear they are in the last days.
@@Mendezfarriercompany306 what does it say in Luke 1:17? He(John) will also go before Him(God) in the SPIRIT and power of Elijah. John the Baptist came in the spirit, had the same spirit, of Elijah. Do you honestly believe that Elijah being caught up to Heaven in the flesh, came back through the womb? Do you not understand that two, three, or more men can have the same spirit, but yet have their own identity, their own flesh? If you understood the purpose for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and of putting on Christ, coming into perfect union with Him, spirit, heart and mind, but yet your own flesh, then you would recognize who John was. You ignore what all the prophets, Apostles and Christ Himself say concerning the day of the Lord, the day of wrath, the last day. If that day happened in 70 AD, then Romans 11:25-26 means the fullness of the gentiles has already happened and for almost two thousand years we gentiles have been deceived and delusional concerning salvation.
@@robertknox7050lol ok brother. Don't take it from christ. Not my words his.
I would argue that you all don’t have a clue of what you’re talking about
Fair enough, Revelation is a difficult book! Thankfully believers who have different approaches to this book can still be unifed in the gospel.
@@MarkNorthAveChurch Appreciate your sincerity but you should try to interpret The Revelation using The Revelation! Where has this method of interpretation originated from? You would never come to the conclusions you all do unless you frame your position repeatedly at the beginning of all of your lessons. No person reading the text without it would ever be a-millennial… this recapitulation theory does not hold true. I agree that there is no pre tribulation rapture but there is one in the 14th chapter… at the last trumpet! Luke 24:25 (KJV) Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
Thank you my brethren. I’m sharing this with family. The witnesses are still alive, hallelujah!🎉❤
Thanks! That's great!
Should a divorce take place for a reason other than infidelity before a person finds salvation, it will be forgiven as is ALL SIN in their life has been.
Malachi 4:5 writes, "5 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes." The preacher is using the word "powerful" when other bibles are using "dreadful"? If the Prophet Elijah was taken into heaven on a chariot (2 Kings 2:11-12) which means he never died, then how was he born as John the Baptist? Also, if John the Baptist is the Prophet, then how come the Prophet Elijah appeared with Moses and Jesus Christ in mount Transfiguration (Matt. 17:1-8)? I'm confused.
Thanks for your ministry and teaching.
If the witnesses preach the truth of God's Word then we are well into it. There are so many "churches" who align with the world and do not preach truth. We are a vast minority already. The falling away is happening every day. We will be silenced by censorship and eventually by not being able to participate in the world system. We are still buying and selling today. How can I honestly spiritualize buying and selling? I've been waiting for 4 years for someone to convince me that the Mark is solely spiritual.
I believe there is something physical to be able to buy and sell in the future. Digital ID, QR code..
It's not solely spiritual, that's why if they pin you down and give it to you God has said, "I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion and show mercy to whom I will show mercy." That also would be in keeping with the rest of God's Word in that the Spiritual is always and will always take precedent over and be greater than the physical. It manifests the physical. So this is why it is said the mark is received in the right hand (representing our allegiance and what we covenant and swear ourselves and give our power to) and the forehead (our worship and thought life - what we think and believe and what we honor and worship with our minds). So I agree - it's not merely physical, it will have the manifestation of being locked out of the world system once the beast system is brought into full earthly reign. Many then jump immediately to "well then how will they know if it's not some distinguishing mark?" Good question. To which i would reply with another question. Did you ever have an encounter during the planned endemic where before you were even asked if you got it or to put your mask on etc., the person already knew whoch side you were on? Putting a distinguishing mark on can be faked. Spiritual distinction cannot. God bless you sister
Revelation 20:4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The Holy Bible: English Standard Version. 2016. Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles.
Kimmy, I would look into the work of Timothy Alberino. Him and I both believe that the mark is actually a genetic modification that is willingly taken. It is the image, aka the genetic code, of the fallen ones. When this is taken on by human beings, they will no longer be human, but will instead be trans-human hybrids. And if you are a hybrid, you are unredeemable. And that is why they cannot be forgiven and that is why they go with the beings that share their genetics to destruction. I believe this is also why the people will seek death in those days and will not be able to find it and it will flee from them. Because their genetics will have been changed to become partly supernatural in nature, and they will probably have extreme longevity and regeneration of bodily organs and tissue after injury. The bottom line is, they will be extremely hard to kill. And it's also likely that one of the reasons they decide to take on the image of the beast, or in other words, the genetics of the beast, is because it will likely give them special abilities or powers that they desire and will likely cure them of various diseases and perhaps even restore them to peak youth. But as they say, the devil is in the details, and they will not like the end result.
Everybody who understands the prophecy on buying and selling knows that it would be a cashier society. And buying and selling are not able to be done if there's no cash but everybody has a digital ID. You, if you studied this, obviously know that we are moving towards a cashless society around the world. After what Canada did with the Canadian truckers and how they were able to disrupt all financial transactions that were digital including access to ATMs or access to cash through Banks shows exactly how much power the Antichrist system will have in place would he makes it mandatory to either worship the beast or the image of the beast or you be cut off of all services. It is absolutely not spiritual but physical. Anybody who teaches this is ignorant of Bible prophecy and the word of God.
Thank you for this brothers. Always exciting and revealing. I have held to the position that the saints = believers = the church = the two witnesses, but in all this time, I had never made the connection between Rev 11:7 and 13:7. That is very clear symmetry. Thank you, God, for The holy Spirit our Teacher!
We didn't discover that one on our own! I saw it some of the commentaries.
Yes Amen🎉🎉🎉.
Another great podcast. Very thankful for this teaching. So bummed we have to wait until next summer.
Thanks Greg for your encouraging words!
Maybe youre right, maybe not. But would appreciate brothers who dont straw man their brothers, really easy to dismantle a view when you dont present their strongest arguments. A lot more compelling I think if there is real disagreement with an argument you steel man.
Without polygamy, there would not be the 12 tribes of Israel. Jesus Christ lineage comes from Jacob's first wife 'Leah' whereas Joseph, who saved Israel from starving to death is of the lineage of Rachel. You talk about family strife in polygamy....there is plenty of strife in monogamy. What was the divorce rate in biblical polygamy? What is the divorce rate in todays modern monogamy? 50+% Here in the USA monogamous marriage, 80% of the divorces are filed by the wife, and it is higher if the wife is highly educated. How much cheating is happening in todays monogamous marriage? Ten percent of the children born in a monogamous marriage are not the fathers.
God uses people's sin to accomplish His will. That does not condone sin.
@@chrisjohnson9542 Show me in the Holy Bible where God or Jesus condemn polygamy or polygyny. The Holy Bible does write of one man and one wife being married, but it did not condemn polygamy/polygyny. Polygamy is not even mentioned in the ten commandments. If polygyny is not condemn in the Holy Bible, then how can it be called a sin?
The Holy Spirit is the seal that the 144k received. (2 Cor. 1:22, Eph. 4:30, Eph1:13-14) I was surprised to not hear this taught in what has otherwise been an excellent teaching series.
This is a great clip, thank you!
Very good brother!
I agree with many of your teachings. I have to take notice of the way you’re handling revelation though.. you have to remember there are true members of the body of Christ that are suffering and being slaughtered worldwide as we speak. This would go against some of your views in this video!
He died for the sins of the world for whosoever will come. Why do we limit what God did through Jesus on the cross? Yes, not everyone will choose to respond to his invitation but this doesn’t mean he only died for a select group of privileged people.
It says they escaped the defilements of the world. Inasmuch as sin is a defilement of the world, they escaped sin. Therefore, they were sanctified believers, as none can escape sin without faith in Christ.
I am a student of end-times study . . . I appreciate your perspective . . . it is prompting me to dig deeper. I will surely go back and re-view this broadcast to further study the Bible references you asserted. Thank you for the interesting study, and especially the references back to Exodus, Deuteronomy, Zechariah & Ezekiel. It is amazing that so many Bible-believing Christians have no idea as to why they believe in the pre-Trib doctrine, other than putting their faith in flawed men of 'study'. It will be to their peril if they take that faith to the precipice of the abyss, and fall away.
It's pastors like this one that turned me away from the church and God long ago. Pure ignorance.
How would God ever make it without serious guys like this?
Lol
The literality of the millennium is one of the promises of God that makes so much sense. Yes, not everything in the bible is literal but not everything in the bible is metaphorical either. Let me guess! Do Amillennialists believe God created everything on Earth in 6 days like it is said may times in the bible? Or did God create everything in 6 thousands or 6 trillions of years like non-God believing scientists claim it? Or maybe when the bible says God created heaven and Earth, it means God created them metaphorically, not literally. I don’t know. It just that it seems easy to say everything is symbolic only, with no room for literacy. 🤔🤷🏽♂️ Then, if the Millennium is occurring right now, and right now means since ever or since Jesus rose from the dead, then, Paul should not talk about the powers of the coming/future world (he was talking about the kingdom of Christ). Paul should have said the powers of his current/present world. And Jesus should pray for the kingdom to come since the kingdom was and has been already here. Anyway, it seems the ones asking people to let the bible explain the bible are the ones who should follow their own suggestion. 🙂
I actually recently saw a video from a woman on YT(who subbed to my channel so i subbed to hers because I think we should be connected to like-minded people). She claimed she was married and divorced 3 times. She was in her 4th marriage when she got saved and realized she was in adultry because her 1st husband is still alive. She had been with her 4th Husband, Ray, for 16 years(!!!!!) and when she realized this, she filed for divorce (and claimed nothing wrong with their relationship in her video) because she felt she was in adultry. She divorced Ray recently (i think she said it was finalized in 2022) I think she is deceived and in the camp of the judaizers. She talks with a head covering and sometimes referes to Jesus as Yeshua.... This is whacked. People are so out of whack and have no understanding. What say you on this particular instance?
This is the exact kind of scenario I want to argue against. I commend her for not wanting to commit adultery and to honor the Lord, but she carried it out in a seriously misguided and sinful way. Ironically she committed adultery herself against her fourth spouse (while trying to avoid that very sin!) by unlawfully divorcing him and remarrying her first spouse. Scripture nowhere teaches nor implies that a person is living in *continual* adultery when they remarry after an unlawful divorce. The initial act of sex with the new spouse is adultery against the previous spouse, but not continual adultery! There is *unanimous agreement* on this amongst the many people I've read and listened to on this topic. And uninamous agreement is hard to find on anything related to divorce and remarriage! Even John Piper who holds to the "permanance view" of marriage (which I argued against in last week's sermon) argues strongly that once unlawful remarriage has happened, the adultery is a one-time event at the start of the new marriage. And you should *not(!)* divorce your new spouse and go back and remarry your former spouse. Tradically and ironically, that is actually to commit adultery all over again!
Also, consider Jesus's words to the woman at the well: John 4:17-18, "The woman answered him, 'I have no husband.' Jesus said to her, 'You are right in saying, "I have no husband"; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.'" She says, "I *have* [present tense] no husband" and Jesus agrees with her! "Jesus said to her, 'You are right in saying, "I *have* [present tense] no husband."'" "for you *have had* [past tense] five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.'" Jesus agrees that this woman is no longer married to her previous husbands once divorce and adultery had happened. Had she unlawfully divorced her fifth husband and gone back and remarried her first husband she would have committed adultery against the fifth husband. I hope that makes sense! [The only ways around what I'm saying woud be if (1) all five of her previous husbands had died while she was married to them and therefore each remarriage was lawful; or (2) all five of her husbands had committed adultery against her and she lawfully divorced each one and lawfully remarried. I highly doubt this is the case given the fact that she is living with a guy she *isn't* married to! This shows she has no problem committing sexual sin. It's far more likely she is a *repeat-adulterer*. The story clearly highlights her immoral lifestyle and Jesus's love for her and apparent forgiveness of her despite her sinful past.]
A very important topic for a very common issue today
It makes sense that we would have the same mind as the 24 elders and that we too would cast our crowns of glory before the lamb; to say though that we did not merit those crowns and that it's all God, bugs me. "To those who overcome" are glorified. Whatever that 'faith With works' process of overcoming entails - is, in part, our doing it seems. Surely God wants us to have that status, else He would not have bestowed it on us - so why can't we just "humbly" enjoy our crowns, with of course the understanding that were it not for the grace of God, we'd all stay lost?
