Commentary of a tower that fell on people as described by Jesus! __________________________________ Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page APRIL 8, 2008 ------------- THE WRATH OF GOD In 1962 independent Baptist radio preacher Oliver B. Greene preached a series of 25 messages on "The Wrath of God". Twenty-five messages on God's judgment! My, how preaching has changed! This is what America needs: twenty-five messages on God's wrath from every Bible-believing pulpit in the land. Following is an excerpt from Green's first message: "I have preached love, grace, justification, and salvation, but I must not be a one-sided preacher; I must preach it all. Consider Deuteronomy 32. 'See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. ... If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me" (Deut. 32:39, 41). Now beloved, I'm not hateful and I'm not sarcastic, but that doesn't sound like the liberal and the modernist of today. I heard a fellow on the radio the other day saying, 'God is good.' Yes, God is good, but let's also tell them that God is a consuming fire. God has a real sword that he uses in judgment against those that hate him. You say, 'I don't hate God.' You can't serve two masters. You are either for God or you are against him. There is no neutrality. My friends, I love you, but I can't compromise the Word of God to keep your friendship. I can't sell my message for your support. I'd rather go off the radio tomorrow than to sell the gospel down the drain for fame or fortune. In Deuteronomy 32 we have a vivid description of a God that can be angry, that can use the sword, that can use arrows drunk with blood, a God that in His own words said, 'I kill' and 'none can deliver out of my hand.' I warn you. God is a consuming fire. God is angry with the wicked every day, and the wages of sin is death. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God. Why don't you fall into the arms of Jesus right now? There is no refuge from God's wrath but in Jesus Christ." ***WATCHMAN... I did not write that but I totally agree with it! I know a few are not going to believe I did not write those words penned ad preached back in 1962 by independent Baptist radio preacher Oliver B. Greene but you just go ahead and believe what you want - you will anyway no matter what I say. BUT I ECHO Brother Greene... "WE NEED MORE PREACHING LIKE THAT" - There is way too much sloppy agape being preached today - AMEN - It saved my soul in the 60's - so listen to this preacher and it just might SAVE YOUR SOUL...

3:10 The Hour of Temptation
by
Rev. R. Johnson, Th. D.
All DOCTRINE aside, lets not quarrel but believe God and His word! To quarrel about when, is to divide and destroy Him and His love for all! To be prepared is very necessary. In
the first picture the question is not, are these men praying. The question is
how and to whom do they bow. The Holy Bible says that in the last days
“2 Thessalonians 2:11… for
this cause God shall send them strong DELUSION, that they should believe a lie”
2 Thessalonians 2:10… “that they might be saved.” The second
picture of a New Age gathering attended by people of prominence where their god
and worship was discussed.
EXODUS 20:1-5 “1. And
God spake all these words, saying, 2.
I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage. 3. Thou
shalt have no other gods before me. 4. Thou
shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is
in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under
the earth. 5. Thou shalt not bow
down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous
God.” One prayer I hear that was reported in the news (though
possibly not at the time the first picture was taken) was and I quote: “Even
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for you
are with me, we pray for their strength, we pray for their comfort, placing our
confidence in a loving God, in all of life and all of history.” On the surface the prayer begins with Psalm 23 but
then changes and ends with “all of history.” We cannot change nor glorify
“history.” History is “past” and the past is done and over with. Nowhere
in scripture are we told to attend to the past in any way, quite the contrary,
we are commanded to put the past behind us and go “on to what is ahead.” HEBREWS
6:1 “let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the
foundation of repentance from dead works” Be wise when you hear the claims of those who say they
believe in God, especially those in office or professed New Agers, for if these
truly are the last days and it is imperative to discern the spirit of them. The Prophet Isaiah wrote in chapter 66 and verses 3&4, “Yea,
they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their
abominations. 4. I also will choose
their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because
when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did
evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.” Again
“2 Thessalonians 2:11… for
this cause God shall send them strong DELUSION,
that they should believe a lie”
2 Thessalonians 2:10… “that they might be saved.” DELUSION…
Sounds like the RAPTURE that is preached today to me, how about you? All DOCTRINE aside, lets not quarrel but believe God and His word! To quarrel about when, is to divide and destroy Him and His love for all! To be prepared is very necessary. MATTHEW 24: 38-40 “38. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe (Noah) entered into the ark, 39. And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Yes, scripture does say “the day of the Lord so cometh as
a thief in the night.” But let’s not stop there, let’s read on…
1 THESSALONIANS 5:4-6 “4. But
ye, brethren, are not
in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5.
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not
of the night, nor of darkness. 6. Therefore
let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.” The Lord Himself spoke this very clearly and distinctly to
the Church at Sardis in Revelation chapter 3 and verse 3… “V2.
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to
die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
V3. Remember therefore how
thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt
not
watch, (“then”,
added
for clarity) I will come on thee as a thief, and thou
shalt not
know what hour I will come upon thee.” Now, think of this, for today it exists everywhere, in
Church and without… Matthew 25:1-13 “ V1. Then
shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps,
and went forth to meet the bridegroom. V2.
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. V3.
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: V4. But the wise took oil in their
vessels with their lamps. V5. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
V6. And at midnight there was a cry
made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. V7.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. V8.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps
are gone out. V9. But
the wise answered, saying, Not so;
lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and
buy for yourselves. V10. And while
they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went
in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. V11.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
V12. But he answered and said,
Verily I say unto you, I
know you not. V13. Watch
therefore, for ye know neither the day
nor the hour wherein
the Son of man cometh.” Please notice that the words “day” and “hour” do
not necessarily stand for “many days” or “many hours”! WHY? Because 1
THESSALONIANS 5:4-6 clearly shows that what is taught by many simply is not
so. “4. But
ye, brethren, are not in
darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5.
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not
of the night, nor of darkness. 6. Therefore
let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.” Don’t be a knot in
the flow of God’s Holy Spirit and allow Him to flow as the Lord has intended.
HOW? By simply knowing that whatever way it happens it will be because the Lord
Him self’s will has been done! It will be done His way and fulfill His plan
and no other! Let’s all just get ready to do it His way, with oil in our lamps
and love in our hearts. Why
is this so important? Why have I written this? Because many will be
deceived by these things enough to be unprepared, with no oil, and when the door
is SHUT where
will they be? Where were all those in Noah’s day when He and His family
entered the ark and door was SHUT? Where will you be when the door is SHUT? __________________________________

13:16-17 IN THE NEWS TODAY! It is being reported... "At a global security
conference held in Paris, an
It is being reported... In his speech today at the ID World
2003 conference in
It is being reported... The company's various 'VeriChips'
are RFID chips, which contain a unique identification number and can carry other
personal data about the implantee. When radio-frequency energy passes from a
scanner, it energizes the chip, which is passive (not independently powered),
and which then emits a radio-frequency signal transmitting the chip's
information to the reader, which in turn links with a database.
It is being reported... The chip implant is being presented as an advance over credit cards and smart cards, which, absent biometrics and appropriate safeguard technologies, are subject to theft, resulting in identity fraud. It is being reported... A Florida company has announced plans to develop a service that would allow consumers to pay for merchandise using microchips implanted under their skin. Is this truly 666, the mark of the beast? REVELALTION 13:16-17 "V16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: V 17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." Is this truly 666, the mark of the beast? I do not know! But I do know that the technology truly exists as I have been reporting for a long time now. Could it be used in a way that fulfills scripture? Absolutely! It could be placed anywhere on the human body and be scanable, but what if they decided the best place would be the "right hand" or "forehead," what would you think then? "that would allow consumers to pay for merchandise using microchips implanted under their skin" Is this truly 666, the mark of the beast? REVELALTION 13:16-17 "V16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: V 17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." Is this truly 666, the mark of the beast? I do not know! But I do know that the tecnology is there now for a "CASHLESS SOCIETY" where we may very soon need an "IMPLANT" to buy anything! "a new syringe-injectable microchip implant for humans, designed to be used as a fraud-proof payment method for cash and credit-card transactions" Is this truly 666, the mark of the beast? REVELALTION 13:16-17 "V16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: V 17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." Is this truly 666, the mark of the beast? I do not know! But I do know that it is "POSSIBLE," very possible... that TODAY... this scripture is being... at the very least... in part... FULFILLED! ACTS 2:38 "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." Is this truly 666, the mark of the beast? I do not know! But I do know that many of you who have been afar off are being drawn back. You need to repent and come home to God! Are you ready? Is there oil in your lamp? Matthew 25:1-13 "V 1. Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. V 2. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. V 3. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: V 4. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. V 5.

DARKNESS and the END TIMES
by
Rev. R. Johnson, Th. D. An outline used to preach this message on Sunday November 1, 2003 can be found following the listing of the prophetic word from the Sunday before. An offering of at least $5.00 for the tape or $10.00 for the CD is expected to cover the cost of production, shipping and handling. The length of the message is approximately 45 minutes. Feel free to use the text yourself or email us for a cassette tape or CD of the outline as preached. Prophetic
word Sunday October 26, 2003 For indeed says the Lord I have called
you out of darkness, I have poured out my spirit upon thee and have called thee
to serve me says God, be filled this day with my spirit, my presence says God,
for I have a burden to place upon thee says God, to go an to know who I am and
all that I am says God in the presence of my people says the Lord, you shall
find me and you shall know me in a way that you have not known or seen me before
but as you serve me says God, I will take delight in you, I will take delight in
you says God and I will indeed shall serve you as well says the Lord for you
shall conquer many things that otherwise would not be conquered, so go and
conquer says God and be my person that I have called you to be and I will be
pleased. Awake
now my children, for even though the darkness now thinks that it can fool itself
and cause the problems that it is causing, and to take hold of this whole world,
I say unto you it is a lie, although darkness will think it can accomplish those
things, you must stand firmer than you have stood before, for it is time for
your light to shine, for as darkness begins to get darker, my light will begin
to get brighter and I will empower you with a power that will go beyond anything
that has ever been seen before, for this must happen in order to overcome the
enemy that is causing the darkness to come upon the world, the darkness thinks
that it is wise, it is not, the darkness thinks that it has hold but it does
not, the darkness thinks it is winning but it will not, I say unto you that I
have planned it afore, and it will not change from the way I have planned it, so
stand now firmly saith the Lord, stand now firmly now my children, it is not
time to be laxed, it is not time to take things for granted, it is time for you
to stand fully in my word and what my word says, you can do this if you are not
studying my word, you cannot do this if you are not praying over my word, so you
need to do these things in these days that you might be the lighthouse that I
called you to be, that though the darkness get darker, the light will get
brighter and the end will come as I have planned it says the Lord. OUTLINE... AMOS 5:18.

"The Time is Nigh"... by
Rev. R. Johnson, Th. D. Luke 21:20 "And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh." This was spoken by Jesus 2,000 years ago. Then 70 years later when the Romans controlled Jerusalem the world still could STILL could not "SEE" the city "compassed with armies" nor could the Israelites "SEE" it. Now with modern technology telecommunications, satellites can immediately send an image to TV sets all over the world "the encompassing" instantly. Everyone will be able to "SEE", including those in Jerusalem themselves, will be able to literally "SEE" it happening. Instantly seen all around the world, in every place, in every house, the countdown has begun! The end is near! Are you ready? Jesus did not say when you read about it, nor when you hear about it, He said when you "SEE" it... and you will soon "SEE" it. God keeps His promises and the earth will be delivered from sin! The struggle over Israel today is not political but Spiritual! Spiritually the current so called "Peace Road Map" is destined to fail though it will accomplish a foundation for Biblical Prophetical fulfillment. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will rule in the area of the Throne of David and his soon coming is not far off as we watch world events unfold. What does this all have to do with Christians? It has to do with the coming of the "King of Kings," our Lord Jesus Christ! That is exactly what it has to do with Christians! There are hundreds and even thousands of denominations and doctrines out there. If your security is in those denominations or doctrines you have nothing. Jesus said "Heaven and earth will pass away but His words will never pass away." There, is your security, in His words, in His Church, in His Doctrine! Luke 21:36>> "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man"
___________________________________ The “Coming” End of the World by
Rev. R. Johnson, Th. D. This message was written specifically for this www.neaiga.org
website. I have not written one for a while due to an increase in demand for my
time. However, I have tried to keep the pages referring to the “Last Days”
or “End Times” updated daily. I believe it is with the unction of the Holy
Spirit that I write this… Brother Johnson Matthew Henry’s commentary has this to say of Matthew
Chapter 24 and verses 1-3: “Christ foretells the utter ruin and destruction coming
upon the temple. A believing foresight of the defacing of all worldly glory,
will help to keep us from admiring it, and overvaluing it. The most beautiful
body soon will be food for worms, and the most magnificent building a ruinous
heap. See ye not all these things? It will do us good so to see them as to
see through them, and see to the end of them.” Matthew 24:3 “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world”? Jesus first answer to this question followed in verse 4 saying; “Take heed that no man deceive you.” There is and has been so much deception concerning this topic of the world ending. By Jesus quick reply it certainly appears that he knew the controversy that would arise from this question. One of the first deceptions he stressed was; Matthew 24:5
“For many shall come in my name, saying, I am
Christ; and shall deceive many.” Notice
the double uses of the word “many.” In Bible College we were taught that we
should always pay attention whenever something was repeated three times as it
would most likely be “on the test.” There is a world now forming that the
Bible tells us must come, where a lie will become the truth and the truth a lie.
John 8:44 describes what type of person a citizen of this “new World
Order” might be; “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the
truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of
his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” Quite a shocker when it
is looked at this way isn’t it! Isaiah
5: 20 “Woe unto them that
call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for
darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” MATTHEW 24:6 “And
ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all
these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew Henry’s commentary has this to say concerning
these verses: “Our Saviour cautions his disciples to stand on their
guard against false teachers. And he foretells wars and great commotions among
nations.” Right up to verse nine it would be easy to get almost anyone to agree that the days spoken of are the days we are in right now as we go into the year 2003. Yes, there have been “world” wars before but they were never fought in the manner of today, or in the camaraderie. Take heed as Jesus said in Matthew 24:4 “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.” And Matthew 24:7-8 “For nation
shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be
famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. Are not all these things (rising against, famines, pestilences, earthquakes) present all over the world right now in one form or another? Then Jesus said something that we do not hear often, “All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Nave’s Bible dictionary defines the word “sorrow” as a STATE-OF-BEING or CONCEPT and as something that God takes notice of. Websters New World Dictionary describes the word “sorrow” as… sor[row 7s9r$b, sCr$b8 5ME
sorwe < OE sorg, akin to Ger sorge < IE base *swergh-,
to worry, be ill > Sans sdrkRati,
he worries about, Lith serg_,
to be sick6 1
mental suffering caused by loss, disappointment, etc.; sadness, grief, or regret
2
that which produces such suffering; trouble, loss,
affliction, etc. 3
the outward expression of such suffering; mourning;
lamentation 4
earnest
repentance; contrition !sorrow
for sin"
SOME WORDS WITH THE SAME MEANING: sadness, anguish, pain, grief, catastrophe, misfortune, affliction, difficulty, trouble, weeping, grieving, lamenting, mourning, bemoan, wail, lamenting, dejection, depression, distress, gloom, hardship, heartache, repentance, unhappiness, unrest, woe, etc., etc. V8 “All these things are the BEGINNING of
sorrows” and V12 “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many
shall wax cold.”
It is not hard to see that “sorrows” are beginning or that love not only in
the Church but also throughout the world, that has grown cold! God had something
against the Church at Ephesus even though they labored in works, had patience,
hated evil, had not fainted, and found out the liars among them including those
that were false apostles.
Matthew Henry’s commentary has this to say concerning
these verses: “Our
Saviour cautions his disciples to stand on their guard against false
teachers.” They can do good, sound good and look good but the true test is do they
“LOVE GoOD.” (small “o” intended!) Do they put good first or GoOD FIRST?
I believe the Bible teaches the true Church was born or began at Pentecost and
will end at the second coming of Christ. The Bible/the Word of God is either
infallible as many teach or it is not. I believe it to be so (infallible) and
that the Full Gospel, Born Again, Salvation thru the shed blood of Christ at
Calvary must be preached, leaving no scripture out. The forbidding to speak in
tongues by some of the Church today comes to my mind when the scripture says in
1CORINTHIANS “ 39. Wherefore,
brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not
to speak with tongues.” There is a large section of the Church today that forbids
their membership from speaking in tongues that is totally contrary to this verse
for whatever reason. This same section, including some in Pentecost will not
allow the prophetic word to flow when scripture says in this same verse in 1
Corinthians “39. Wherefore,
brethren, covet to prophesy.” (I
find it interesting that Matthew Henry’s Commentary skips over this very
important verse on this subject!) The word “covet” means to desire,
wish for or crave… to want ardently
(especially something that another person has); and to long for with envy.
My friend, desire and long for these precious gifts from God as they
have not ceased with the last apostle. Yes, they are only a part of the total
scriptures but reason this… 1 CORINTHIANS 13:9&10 “9.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10.
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall
be done away. The Lord is coming again soon and at that time everything “which
is in part shall be done away,” but until that time everything, including
“which is in part” is valid and usable today! ROMANS 11:29 “ For
the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” One sure way for the Church today to end up in the position of the church at Ephesus is to forget the “gifts and calling of God,” for He said in Revelation 2:4 “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.” Jesus said this about “first love,” MATTHEW 22:37,38 “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.” Loving God and therefore His word should therefore be “first” and foremost in the Christian life. There is no command to pick and choose only the verses we like and agree with. The words “left thy first love” easily reveal a “growing cold” in heart. REVELATION 3:15,16 “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” It is without a doubt not a “GoOD” thing to grow cold in the eyes of God.
MATTHEW24:12 “And because iniquity shall abound,” The word “iniquity” simply means “lawlessness.” WEBSTER'S: without law; not regulated by the authority of law… — Synonym. anarchy, irresponsibility, terrorism, chaos; With this definition in mind we can easily look upon the world’s actions today and say “iniquity” is not only here, it is “abounding”!

Could you tell me some scriptures in the Bible that would back up Pentecostal dancing and being slain in the spirtit? Thankyou, a believer
Thank
you for confidence in asking, I pray that you truly want to believe in these
things that you have asked about. But first, can I answer your questions as
Jesus did many times with another question...
Do
you believe that dancing before the Lord is acceptable? (King David did!)
Do
believe that someone could fall in the presence of the power and
anointing of God? (Jesus did!)
There
are many verses in the Bible that back up dancing, but the one I like the best
is... 2 Samuel 6:14 KJV And
David danced before the LORD
with all his might;
danced
[[3769. karar, kaw-rar'; a prim. root; to dance (i.e. whirl):--dance
(-ing)]].
before 6440.
paniym, paw-neem'; plur. (but always as sing.) of an unused noun [ paneh, paw-neh';
from H6437]; the face (as the part that turns);
might;
[[5797. 'oz, oze; or (fully) 'owz, oze; from
H5810; strength in various applications (force, security,
majesty, praise):--boldness, loud,
might, power, strength, strong.]]
Here
also is the one I like for "slain in the Spirit" (please note the
capitol S)... John 18:6 KJV As
soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they
went backward, and fell to the
ground.
went
565. aperchomai, ap-erkh'-om-ahee; from G575 and
G2064; to go off (i.e. depart), aside (i.e. apart) or behind (i.e. follow),
lit. or fig.:--come, depart, go (aside, away, back, out, . .
. ways), pass away, be past.\
backward
1519. eis, ice; a prim. prep.; to or into (indicating the point
reached or entered), of place, time, or (fig.) purpose (result, etc.);
also in adv. phrases:--[abundant-] ly, against, among, as, at, [back-] ward,
before, by, concerning, + continual, + far more exceeding, for [intent,
purpose], fore, + forth, in (among, at unto, -so much that, -to), to the
intent that, + of one mind, + never, of, (up-) on, + perish, + set at
one again, (so) that, therefore (-unto), throughout, till, to (be,
the end, -ward), (here-) until (-to), . . . ward, [where-] fore, with. Often
used in composition with the same general import, but only with verbs (etc.) expressing
motion (lit. or fig.).
crf:
I John 20:21 KJV Then said Jesus to them again, Peace
be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22 And when
he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive
ye the Holy Ghost: 23 Whose soever sins
ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they
are retained.
breathed
1720. emphusao, em-foo-sah'-o; from G1722 and phusao (to
puff) [comp. G5453]; to blow at or on:--breathe on.
Receive Sincerely in 2983. lambano, lam-ban'-o; a prol. form of a prim. verb, which is used only as an alt. in certain tenses; to take (in very many applications, lit. and fig. [prop. obj. or act., to get hold of; whereas G1209 is rather subj. or pass., to have offered to one; while G138 is more violent, to seize or remove]):--accept, + be amazed, assay, attain, bring, X when I call, catch, come on (X unto), + forget, have, hold, obtain, receive (X after), take (away, up).Christ, crf: 2 Chronicles 5:13 KJV It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD; 14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God. KJV stands for the King James Version, not the new kjv but the Original version authorized by King James himself. It has remained unchanged over the years and it is the closest we have in a language we can understand to the Original Hebrew manuscripts. If you do not believe how much these new (age?) translations have changed the original text check out the link on our website that compares the KJV with others. A possibly very long answer to a very short question but if you will pray and be open to the wisdom of the Holy Ghost (Spirit) you will have your positive answer and be blessed!...therev
-------------------------------------------------------- SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT... John 3:1. There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2. The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 9. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10. Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? SAVED WRONG? Jesus said to Nicodemus "you are a leader in Israel and you do not know this? Many like Nicodemus today go to Church "religiously" and also do not know the answer to going to heaven or "seeing the kingdom of God." They think that going to Church saves them. Some think a religious ritual saves them. Others think that confessing their sin to a man saves them. Some preachers even preach that being a "good person" is good enough to save them. What has happened to them is NOT the good old "BORN AGAIN" experience that Jesus, not I, said is needed!! Matthew 13:24. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28. He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29. But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

12/23/02... God said it, I did not. To be “hot”
is to “love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind.” To be on fire to do the work of his ministry that all
Christians are called to do, “SAVE SOULS”! To be “cold,” though
certainly not a good thing salvation speaking, is apparently more workable
(teachable?) than cooling off from once being hot or moving from cold to
lukewarm and never going on to become hot. In the natural drinking a
glass of plain cold water or a glass of hot water with something added to flavor
it is palatable. But take that same plain glass of cold water and leave it set
out for a while to warm some and it is nauseating! That is something like what
God is saying in Rev 3:15,16. Once someone has been
