Kemical23:Please stop saying hell fire. It's simply hell. That's a temporary place for those who reject the finished work of Christ. |

Ayofe2028:Isaiah 47 versus 7... You bible god said " I form the light, create darkness, make peace and create evil, I the Lord so all things... So according to your bible, your God is so powerful and does everything and that means all the killing going on in this country your God is aware but he is just watching how the bandits kill his own children everyday... He never for once to make life healthy for his citizens... |

Kemical23:Isaiah 45:7 uses "evil/calamity" in the sense of God sovereignly bringing judgment and disaster, not moral evil, meaning He is in control of all events including suffering, yet He also grieves over sin and calls us to repentance, justice, and prayer while ultimately promising to wipe away every tear and end violence in Christ. Evil started when Satan and man united to rebel against God and because it is God who created them, then it invariably means He creates evil. However you must know that evil was not directly from God but from what God created (man and Satan). It is so because they were created not to be a robot but a free being. Let me ask you a question, if you want to sacrifice your parents to get money, would God stop you? Evil is never directly from God but God will never dodge responsibility like man use to do. However, during the seven years marriage feast of the lamb, the millennial kingdom and after the white throne judgement, there will be no iota of evil because neither unbelievers nor Satan will be there. Everything will come back to normal. |

Revelation 1:4-8 This is John’s opening greeting + worship, and it sets the tone for the whole book. The Source of Grace and Peace John writes to "the seven churches in Asia" — literal churches in modern-day Turkey. Grace and peace come from the Trinity: 1. "him who is and who was and who is to come" = God the Father, the eternal One. Exodus 3:14 2. "the seven spirits" = the Holy Spirit in His fullness. 7 = completeness in Revelation. 3. "Jesus Christ" = described in 3 titles: - Faithful Witness - He told the truth about God even to death - Firstborn of the dead - He’s the first to rise and never die again - Ruler of kings on earth - No government is outside His authority What Jesus Did For Us "To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood" That’s the gospel in one line. His love + His sacrifice = our freedom. Result: "made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father" We’re not just saved FROM something, we’re saved FOR something. Like Israel in Exodus 19:6, we now have direct access to God and represent Him to the world. Jesus Is Coming Back "Behold, he is coming with the clouds" - Daniel 7:13. This is public, visible, unavoidable. "every eye will see him, even those who pierced him" - Both believers and those who rejected Him will see it. "all tribes will wail" - For some it’s joy, for others it’s judgment. Zechariah 12:10 Who God Is God the Father speaks: "I am the Alpha and the Omega" - A to Z. The beginning and end. "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty" History is in His hands. Nothing surprises Him. The Big Idea Revelation isn’t first about beasts and dragons. It’s first about Jesus. Before any judgment, John reminds us: Grace and peace come from the eternal God, through the crucified and risen King, who is coming again as Almighty Judge and Saviour. And because of Him, we are now a kingdom of priests. That’s why Revelation 1:3 says: "Blessed is the one who reads... and keeps what is written." |

Ayofe2028:Do you not know the meaning of conflict? Since, you see that Jesus wins, that tells you it is endgame. It is humans that have conflicts and not God. God just wins straight up |
| Re: The Book Of Revelation by Ayofe2028(op): 1:03pm On Aug 28 |
Dtruthspeaker:It is actually going to be a battle or war. 1. Battle of Armageddon (before second coming) 2. War of Gog and Magog (towards the end of the millennial kingdom when Satan is released for the last time) |
| Re: The Book Of Revelation by Dtruthspeaker: 1:09pm On Aug 28 |
Ayofe2028:Where did you see God battle with anybody? Who reach to battle God? My brother all that is just God giving Satan space to fool himself. God has already won the battle or war whatever you want to call it |
| Re: The Book Of Revelation by Kemical23(m): 4:10pm On Aug 28 |
Ayofe2028:so when is your god going to end cries of Nigerians? |
| Re: The Book Of Revelation by Ayofe2028(op): 4:25pm On Aug 28 |
Dtruthspeaker:Why are you asking these questions. Whether conflict, battle or war, I just want you to understand the events of the end times. Be rapturable! |
| Re: The Book Of Revelation by Ayofe2028(op): 4:26pm On Aug 28 |
Kemical23:Are you in pain but need divine help? God is ever ready to help you. |
| Re: The Book Of Revelation by Kemical23(m): 6:33pm On Aug 28 |
Ayofe2028:to be sincere I'm doing well so I don't need to believe salvation from anybody especially the places you said there are Blessing because the poverty rate in Nigeria is an evidence that non of the preaching and prayers don't solve anything... |

Kemical23:I'm not sure you are doing well spiritually.

| Re: The Book Of Revelation by Kemical23(m): 10:17pm On Aug 28 |
Ayofe2028:are you serious? Who spirit has ever helped... |
| Re: The Book Of Revelation by Ayofe2028(op): 4:42am On Aug 29 |
The essence of doing well spiritually is to know, love, and walk in daily intimacy with God, being transformed to reflect Christ in your thoughts, character, and actions. |
| Re: The Book Of Revelation by Dtruthspeaker: 9:24am On Aug 29 |
Ayofe2028:I am just correcting your wrong notions and if I want to make it worse i would tell you that the rapture has taken place and it is taking place. |
| Re: The Book Of Revelation by Dtruthspeaker: 9:26am On Aug 29 |
Ayofe2028:Even physically, he is not doing well and will never do so. God has kept him in "check" play. |
| Re: The Book Of Revelation by Ayofe2028(op): 10:43am On Aug 29 |
Dtruthspeaker:Don't false doctrine please. Rapture means the catching away of believers to meet Christ in the cloud. It's not a continuous but a one time event. It will be in a moment. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 16. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 51. Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52. in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. |
| Re: The Book Of Revelation by Dtruthspeaker: 12:29pm On Aug 29 |
Ayofe2028:Yes, rapture means caught up and snatched away. Then, the question is when is a person caught up? And caught up as what? Hope you know that rapture is not exclusive to Christians, so satan too has his own rapture to do which is what atheists and anti God and anti Christian people have proven already |
| Re: The Book Of Revelation by Ayofe2028(op): 9:24pm On Aug 29 |
Dtruthspeaker:Don't let Satan deceive you. The Bible teaches that believers will be caught up in glorified resurrection bodies to meet the Lord in the air at the coming of Christ as written in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 to 17 and 1 Corinthians 15:52 to 53, and Scripture warns that Satan deceives and appears as an angel of light but he does not have authority to rapture people as shown in 2 Corinthians 11:14 and John 10:28. |

John's Vision of the Glorified Christ (Revelation 1:12 - 20) In Revelation 1:12 to 20 John describes a vision of Christ standing in the middle of seven golden lampstands with seven stars in His right hand, and the lampstands represent the seven churches while the stars represent the angels of the seven churches. He saw the Son of Man clothed with a robe reaching to His feet and girded across His chest with a golden band, and His head and His hair were white like wool and as white as snow, and His eyes were like a flame of fire, and His feet were like burnished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters. Out of His mouth came a sharp two edged sword, and His face was shining like the sun in full strength, and when John saw Him he fell at His feet as though dead, but Christ laid His right hand on him and said that He is the First and the Last and the Living One who was dead and is alive forevermore and has the keys of Hades and of Death. Jesus Is Lord! |

The letter to the church in Ephesus Revelation 2:1 - 7 The letter to the church in Ephesus is a message from Jesus Christ delivered through the Apostle John. Jesus begins by commending the church for its hard work, perseverance, and discernment. He acknowledges that they have tested those who claim to be apostles and found them to be false, and that they have patiently endured suffering for His name without growing weary. However, despite all their good works and doctrinal faithfulness, Jesus has one thing against them, which is that they have abandoned the love they had at first. He calls them to remember the position from which they have fallen, to repent, and to do the works they did at first. Jesus warns that if they do not repent, He will come to them and remove their lampstand from its place. He then encourages them by saying that He knows they hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which He also hates. The letter concludes with a call for anyone who has an ear to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches, and a promise that to the one who conquers He will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of God. |
