Revelation 16: The Seventh Bowl, A Preterist Take, and a Spiritual Take

Is it possible this prophecy already been fulfilled, some 2,000 years ago? And, by the same token, is it possible the vision of all these warnings and calamities caries a timeless spiritual message? #Revelation16 #SeventhBowl

Then, the seventh poured out his ceremonial bowl upon the atmosphere, and a might voice came out of the innermost part of the temple, from the throne saying, “It has come to be!” Then a lightning bolt appeared and voices and thunders, and there came massive seismic activity the like which had never before occurred since humanity came to be upon the earth, seismic activity with such magnitude, so…

Lesson 050: The Unforgiven

Genesis 50:15-17 - When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “Perhaps Joseph will hate us, and may actually repay us for all the evil which we did to him.”  So they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, “Before your father died he commanded, saying, ‘Thus you shall say to Joseph: “I beg you, please forgive the trespass of your brothers and their sin; for they did evil to you.” ’ Now, please, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

Why did Joseph’s brothers tell such a story to Joseph after their father died?  Weren’t they all at peace with each other at this point?

Let’s read together Genesis 27:41-42 and Genesis 42:21-22.

Joseph’s brothers were still wracked with guilt for how they treated Joseph, selling him into slavery, and lying to their father about everything.  They were afraid Joseph was only being kind to them for the sake of their father.  Now that Jacob was dead, they were afraid Joseph would finally take revenge upon them.

Why did Joseph weep when he heard their story?

Let’s read together Genesis 45:3-8 and John 11:25, 32-37.

Perhaps Joseph cried because he realized his brothers still didn’t think of him as one of them.  Perhaps Joseph cried because their story brought back memories of past trauma.  Perhaps he cried because he had already forgiven them, but they did not believe his words.

Let’s read together Genesis 50:18-21; Matthew 6:15; Matthew 18:35; Mark 11:25; and Romans 3:23.

Joseph did not want servants - he wanted brothers and family.  Joseph once again freely forgave his brothers.  He reassured them he would not retaliate against them for the wrongs they had committed against him in the past.

Why does God ask us to forgive those who sinned against us?  We all have sinned against God, yet He is willing to forgive us when we confess our sins and repent.�� In the same way, we must follow Jesus Christ’s example in forgiveness.

God looks on the heart is often used as a comforting verse and there is much truth to that but let us remember that if we harbor evil in our heart God will judge that.

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Matthew 5:28

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

1 John 3:15

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

Isaiah 14:13

But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

1 Samuel 16:7

I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Jeremiah 17:10

Understanding the Fear of God: Impact on Faith and Wisdom

It is vital to rest in God's love, but that love is best understood when seen against the backdrop of His awe-inspiring greatness and our own need for His mercy. This perspective doesn’t just comfort us; it transforms us, grounding us in true wisdom that

Photo by Jr Korpa on Unsplash Introduction Proverbs 9:10-12 provides profound insights into the interconnectedness of the fear of God, faith, wisdom, and God’s love. These verses emphasize that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and that understanding leads to a fulfilling life. To fully grasp the depth of these concepts, it’s essential to explore related scriptures and their…

[ "You were the signet of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty." (Ezekiel 28:11-19). Many Christians believe the Devil was once a beautiful angel named Lucifer who defied God and fell from grace. This assumption that he is a fallen angel is often based on the book of Isaiah in the Bible, which says, "How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn!" (Isaiah 14:12-17). ]

[anamericangirl]

What’s a good reason to not take my own life? I’ve been feeling this way for years. Been to multiple treatment programs. Seen by several different therapists. Anti-depressants. I frequently go outdoors to exercise. Try to fill up my life with being optimistic about my (admittedly nice) job, hobbies, travel, and volunteering. And yet I’m still no better than I was 5 years ago and I have no hope about a happy future. “Your family will miss you.” Ok, and? I think it’s selfish to tell people in pain to continue living like that because some people might temporarily feel sad. They’ll eventually move on. My friends too, especially the ones who are happily married “to their best friends” and having babies and are so happy that they forget I exist.

Hey anon I hope I am not too late! I am just getting out of a hurricane and was without internet access for several days so i apologize for the delay.

But there are so many reasons not to take your own life. In fact, I can’t think of a single reason why you should.

I know it’s tough right now and trust me, I know that depression makes it all feel pointless and worthless and can plague you for years but even though if feels like forever I promise you these feelings and this depression and your circumstances are TEMPORARY. And it would be a tragedy for you to take your life over temporary circumstances and not see what is possible on the other side.

Yes your family and friends will miss you but you should stay because your life has purpose and meaning! Therapy and anti-depressants are good and I’m glad you’ve been trying those things because that means you don’t actually want to die - you just want the pain to stop. And that’s completely understandable and also manageable!

It’s great that you’ve been continuing to exercise and do volunteer work because those things can definitely impact your mood, but they aren’t the source of true joy, peace and happiness. Now I’m a Christian so I’m sure it won’t surprise you for me to say this, but what you are looking for and what you need can only come from God. I urge you to put your faith and trust in him and give him your burdens.

The devil has a hold on you right now, don’t let him win!

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” - Isaiah 41:10

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. - Jeremiah 29:11

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” - John 10:10

“Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” - psalm 55:22

“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all.” - psalm 34:18-19

But now that I’ve gone on my spiel, here are some reasons I think it’s good to keep living. Not all my original thoughts but ones i agree with.

1. You matter

2. No one else is you.

3. Your younger self

4. Your next favorite song.

5. Warm blankets.

6. Thunderstorms

7. The fact that you’re in control of your future.

8. Experiencing new cultures.

9. Making new friends.

10. Road trips.

11. Sunsets and sunrises.

12. Reading good books.

13. Learning a new language.

14. Adopting a pet.

15. Fresh baked bread and cookies.

16. Getting packages in the mail.

17. Autumn.

18. Pumpkin spice.

19. Drinking coffee in the morning.

20. Beaches and being able to sink your toes into the sand.

21. Stepping on crunchy leaves.

22. Recovery.

23. Falling in love.

24. Rain.

25. Petting puppies and kittens.

26. Drinking water.

27. Trying something new and loving it.

28. Your favorite artist putting out new music.

29. A new season on your favorite TV show.

30. Planting a garden and growing your own vegetables.

31. Farmers Markets.

32. Trying out the newest local coffee shop or restaurant.

33. Karaoke

34. All of the people you have yet to meet.

35. Horseback riding

36. Stars.

37. Ice cream.

38. Ice tea.

39. Scented candles.

40. Learning something new.

41. Museums.

42. Going to the movies.

43. Hearing your favorite song come on the radio.

44. Learning to make a new recipe.

45. Your life is precious.

46. You are enough.

47. Random acts of kindness.

48. God looked at the world and thought it needed you.

49. Your story could save someone else.

50. Looking back on this time in 10 years and realizing you made it.

There’s an endless amount of reasons to stay alive and I hope some of them resonate with you.

But if you are desperate please reach out to the suicide prevention hotline at 988. If you are outside the US then you can find the number for your location here.

Please know that I am praying for you and please reach out to me again if you want to. I would love to keep up with how you are doing 💜

the Lord Jesus is coming quickly!

"For the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God. First, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air." (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

Jesus, the Son of God, gave His life and shed His blood for the payment of your sins. by acknowledging your sinful nature, and trusting in Him as the only means of salvation, you're included in this event! For Jesus promised in John 14:2-3, "There are many rooms in My Father's house (..) I go to prepare a place for you (..) When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so you will always be with Me where I am."

God poured out His wrath for our sins onto Jesus' body on the cross; once and for all time (Hebrews 9:28). Therefore we the Church, as the Body of Christ, cannot be here to experience God's Wrath again (1 Thessalonians 5:9). the Tribulation that is coming is the time of God's Wrath; a testing period for those still covered by their sin (Isaiah 26:20-21). but He promised He would take His followers out of the way before it comes (Revelation 3:10). we will be taken to the safe places He has prepared for us.

the time is much sooner that you think! please turn to the Lord while there is still time, He loves you and has done EVERYTHING necessary to provide salvation for you. the Tribulation will be the worst time in human history, and God desires that no one go through it. listen to the still, small Voice that is calling you to repentance. He is calling you home!

Jesus faces temptation alone in the desert

1-2 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit up into the desert, to be tempted by the devil. After a fast of forty days and nights he was very hungry.

3 “If you really are the Son of God,” said the tempter, coming to him, “tell these stones to turn into loaves.”

4 Jesus answered, “The scripture says ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God’.”

5-6 Then the devil took him to the holy city, and set him on the highest ledge of the Temple. “If you really are the Son of God,” he said, “Throw yourself down. For the scripture says—‘He shall give his angels charge concerning you,’ and ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone’.”

7 “Yes,” retorted Jesus, “and the scripture also says ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God’.”

8-9 Once again the devil took him to a very high mountain, and from there showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their magnificence. “Everything there I will give you,” he said to him, “if you will fall down and worship me.”

10 “Away with you, Satan!” replied Jesus, “the scripture says, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only you shall serve’.”

11 Then the devil let him alone, and the angels came to him and took care of him.

Jesus begins his ministry, in Galilee, and calls his first disciples

12-16 Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested he went back to Galilee. He left Nazareth and came to live in Capernaum, a lake-side town in the Zebulun-Naphtali territory. In this way Isaiah’s prophecy came true: ‘The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles: the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death, light has dawned’.

17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “You must change your hearts—for the kingdom of Heaven has arrived.”

18-19 While he was walking by the lake of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon (Peter) and Andrew, casting their large net into the water. They were fishermen, so Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will teach you to catch men!”

20 At once they left their nets and followed him.

21-22 Then he went further on and saw two more men, also brothers, James and John. They were aboard the boat with their father Zebedee repairing their nets, and he called them. At once they left the boat, and their father, and followed him.

Jesus teaches, preaches and heals

23-25 Jesus now moved about through the whole of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news about the kingdom, and healing every disease and disability among the people. His reputation spread throughout Syria, and people brought to him all those who were ill, suffering from all kinds of diseases and pains—including the devil-possessed, the insane and the paralysed. He healed them, and was followed by enormous crowds from Galilee, The Ten Towns, Jerusalem, Judea and from beyond the river Jordan. — Matthew 4 | J.B.

Matthew 4 Bible Commentary - Matthew Henry (concise)

[ulysseswilhelmnumber1fansblog]

P: EG MASTERMIND AND TRAITOR THEORY

Well, this is my theory of who I think could be the mastermind taking into account the prologue and chapter 1.

In my personal opinion I think Ulysses Wilhelm the ultimate historian and Toshiko Kayura the ultimate matchmaker could be the mastermind and traitor respectively I have several reasons to distrust these two.

My first argument to distrust these two is their animal motif, let's start with Ulysses

In the Bible, owls are classified as unclean animals (Leviticus 11:16-17; Deuteronomy 14:16). They represent impurity, as well as grief of loss(Job 30:28-29; Micah 1:8) and loneliness (Psalm 102:6). For the Israelites, owls remind them of desolate and ruined cities (Isaiah 34:11-15; Jeremiah 50:39).

As we see, owls in the Bible are seen as those who bring misfortune and what animal motif does Ulysses have? The owl

Now let's with Toshiko

In Christianity, the flamingo represents truth. This is because flamingos' tongues can filter dirty water to feed themselves, so they are thought to represent the ability to filter out lies and seek out the truth.

With this it seems to me that Toshiko as a traitor could regret continuing with the game of death and try to reveal the truth but is killed by Ulysses and he blames someone else, and as part of this murder he can cut out Toshiko's tongue for she trying to talk too much, Ulysses cutting out her tongue would be ironic, since we have never seen Toshiko's full face and in theory this fits

My second argument for why these two are mastermind and traitor is because of the pairings in the prologue.

We know that in the prologue Damon woke up with Eva right? And Wolfgang woke up with Grace, Isn't curious that both pairs are couple material? And what is Toshiko's talent? Matchmaker, it is also curious that Ulysses and Toshiko will wake up together, since Ulysses has more chemistry with Wenona, at least they were together because that's what he wanted, We don't know exactly what the rest of the couples were during the prologue but we do know that Toshiko also works under the conditions of the same gender, so if for example Jett and I were to wake up together, Toshiko could have perfectly matched them

My third argument is linked to the first trailer

At the beginning we see the phrase "History repeats itself" or something similar I don't remember, Ulysses says in his introduction "those who don't know their history are destined to sound like idiots on the internet", At first it sounds like a joke but it makes sense in theory, if we go back to Ulysses' free time he says he had a mentor, what if she participated in a killing game And Ulysses is destined to do the same? Or well it's something absurd

And my last argument is the objects of both, the notebook and the fan respectively.

We know that personal items in Danganronpa always play an important role in trials, such as Peko's sword, Kirumi's gloves, or for example in fanmades like Rocky restarts that is planty or in despair time like Min's vest/pen or Ace's exercise band, personal objects always take a major role, especially when it is something that characterizes the character, and what characterizes both? A fan and a notebook, I know it's a bit far-fetched, but I feel like there's more information in Ulysses' notebook than meets the eye, and the fact that Toshiko always covers her face is more suspicious than it is because of mysticism.

Anyway, this is my theory and I hope you like it.

Nothing can Separate us From Jesus

John 10:28-30

John 10:28: I gave them eternal life and they will, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hands.

Matthew 25:46: and these will go away into eternal punishment but the righteous into eternal life

Isaiah 66:22: For as the new heaven and the new earth that I make shall remain before me, says the Lord so shall your offspring and your name remain.

John 6:39: And this is the will of him who sent me that I should lose nothing of all that has given me but raise it up on the last day.

John 10:29: My father who has given them to me, is greater than all and no one is able to snatch them out of the Fathers hand.

John 17:2: Since you have given him authority over all flesh to give eternal life to all whom you have given life.

John 14:28: You heard me say to you, "I am going away and I will come back to you. If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I am going to the father. For the father is greater than I.

John 10:30: I and the father are one.

Deuteronomy 6:4: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one."

John17:21-23: that they may all be one just as you, father are in me and I in the you, that they also in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and lived them even as you loved me.

Line Upon Line Lesson 087: The Lampstand

Exodus 37:17 - He also made the lampstand of pure gold; of hammered work he made the lampstand. Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its ornamental knobs, and its flowers were of the same piece.

The lampstand was a rather interesting piece of work. It had seven branches, ornamental knobs, and flowers. Have you ever wondered why it was made from one large piece of gold and hammered in? Wouldn’t it have been easier to make the lampstand from several pieces of gold and fuse them together? Or couldn’t the lampstand have been made from a mold?

‭‭Let’s read together Exodus 32:4; Isaiah 1:25-26; Isaiah 53:5; Jeremiah 23:29; Philippians 1:6; and Romans 12:1-2.

There is symbolism in how the lampstand was made. Jesus was bruised and broken for our sins. It is through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross that we can be free from the cross of sin.

God has a work He wants to do in our lives. He uses the Word as His hammer to strike down our pride and smooth out our flaws.  It is only then, we can be a presentable work that glorifies Him. We must not follow the molding of the world, but daily recommit ourselves to Jesus Christ.

Let’s read together Exodus 25:31; Proverbs 20:27; Matthew 5:14; and Revelation 1:20.

While the lampstand had six branches coming out from one central shaft, they were never spoken of in the plural. The lampstand had seven flames but it gave out one light.

We are all individual flames. However, we are to be united in shining out one light -  the light of Christ.

Let’s read together Exodus 25:39; Ezekiel 3:14, 22; Matthew 25:14-18; and Romans 10:15.

Interestingly, the lampstand and all its trimmings were made of one talent of gold. One cannot help but think about the parable of the talents. We all can be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit and shine the light of the Gospel into the darkness.

Friend, will you shine brightly for Jesus?

Despite Brody’s (11) best efforts to connect to Chevy, Ezan, or Grayden the Titans kept the pressure on. Minimal gains over three plays leave the Golden Army with no choice but to punt from the 42 yard line. 

Robert (12) kicks off a long punt to Emerald’s punt return. The Emerald Titans push through Gold’s defenses to the 30, the 35, the 40. Before being taken down at the 43 yard line. 

The Gold players looked at each other embarrassed at the slip-up. Hoping to see a change in the remainder of the quarter.

Trusting Him Through Everything

MEMORY VERSE OF THE WEEK

=======================

Psalm 70:1  Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, Lord, to help me.

VERSE OF THE DAY

+ Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

SUBJECT: Trusting Him Through Everything

** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I AM HUMBLE

I AM FREE

I AM STAYING IN HIS WILL

I AM KIND

READ TIME: 6 Minutes 17 Seconds

THOUGHTS:

======================

  Trusting in God can be challenging, but I have personally experienced growth in my trust as I have cultivated a deeper relationship with Him. Initially, I grappled with doubts about His love and presence in my life, especially considering the extended period of separation. However, through consistent seeking and a willingness to love Him unconditionally, I have realized the importance of trusting in His divine plan.

   Isaiah 41:10, “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen, help, and uphold you with My righteous right hand.”

    Trusting in God is an unwavering commitment that requires us to refrain from allowing our emotions to lead us astray from His path. While it may be difficult to trust Him when our hearts are filled with doubts or fears, it is crucial to maintain steadfast faith in His unwavering love and guidance.

The Holy Spirit urges us to lower our guard and surrender to His authority, acknowledging that many of us have experienced past hurts or broken trust, making it challenging to fully embrace His presence. However, with time and perseverance, we can have a deeper trust in Him, recognizing He is the only source of unwavering reliability.

     John 10:14 I am the good shepherd. I know My own, and My own know Me.” 

     We can confidently trust in His knowledge and care for us. While some may question the trustworthiness of individuals who lack personal knowledge, Jesus’s unwavering love for His sheep provides a solid foundation for our trust.

    Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

    This verse underscores the transformative power of trust in God, promising He will guide and protect us through every challenge and circumstance. Regardless, God will ultimately execute His plan for our lives. We must accept the positive and negative aspects of our experiences with Him. 

    Every circumstance that God presents us with presents an opportunity for growth and development. We must trust that He has a divine plan for our lives, even if it differs from our desires. Many individuals resist God’s plans because they don’t want to be guided rather than instructed. However, we must have a willingness to listen to His voice.

There have been instances in my life when I struggled to discern His guidance due to my desire to pursue my path. 

    I came to a realization that regardless of my actions, His love for me remains unconditional. Nevertheless, it is more beneficial to submit to His will and align our actions with His plan, as His plan is always righteous and destined for success. Ultimately, we must adhere to His voice and commit to following His path. Are you willing to acknowledge His voice and surrender your plans for His guidance? 

  1 Samuel 24:5-6 Afterward, David was conscience-stricken for having cut off a corner of his robe. 6 He said to his men, “The Lord forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the Lord’s anointed, or lay my hand on him; for he is the anointed of the Lord.”

    God guided David in many aspects of his life, yet he remained steadfast in pursuing God’s intended path. Each individual possesses a divine plan, and while adhering to this path may present challenges and difficulties, it leads to alignment with God’s will, which surpasses human plans.

David recognized that killing Saul was not God’s plan for him. King Saul had attempted to kill David three times with a spear, and David had every right to retaliate. However, David’s unwavering commitment to the path God had laid out for him was rooted in honesty and loyalty. He understood that God would disapprove of such actions. Unfortunately, many individuals falter in trusting God during challenging times. Nevertheless, David maintained his faith and trust in the divine process. 

   ***Today, we discussed the importance of trusting in God and listening to His plans. Many of us lack commitment to His plans due to fear of the unknown and uncertainty about His reliability. However, we must recognize that God’s experiences, both positive and challenging, serve as opportunities for growth and development. Through these trials, He remains steadfast in His presence and will guide us.

  Psalm 56:4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me

  The Bible says don’t fear or worry about what others or ourselves might do to us. It might seem easier to trust in their plans or our own, but God wants us to trust Him for everything, even when it’s tough. The Holy Spirit is telling us this right now. Some of our plans aren’t working out because we’re not trusting Him. Sometimes, our dreams of starting our own business, going to school, or whatever we’re working towards don't come true because we do not trust Him to guide us. The Holy Spirit says to always trust in Him, not just when things feel good. Trust Him even when it doesn’t feel good. Trust in God, and you’ll never be disappointed in what He does in and through your life.

PRAYER

=====================

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for everything you’ve done. Please help us trust in you more and not trust in the things of this world. No matter what we go through, we realize we trust you, Lord. We’re afraid, but we know you’ll heal us through our fear. Lord, we also ask that you help us through our problems. We’re sorry if we’ve done anything to offend you in any way. We ask you to help us stand strong in your will in Jesus’ name. Amen.
