    The Never-Ending Kingdom (2 Ages)

    Greetings @MatthewG... I have a thought for you... I think you did very well until this statement that I have quoted here. It would seem by my experience over the last several years that..."apostasy" is here...a "falling away" from the very thing you have nicely presented...versus revival as...

    Revelation 11:1-3 - Can someone explain to me what these 3 verses are telling us?

    Greetings @Earburner... As I see it...the two witnesses come out from the "measuring of the naos" the dwelling place of God...or the most Holy place of the temple. The "church" is the heathens just outside the Most Holy place pretending they are the "Body of Christ"...but are actually the...

    ONCE….ONCE….(OSAS)….ONCE!!!

    Thank you for the offer...I am sufficiently adept at picking through a mans words which display his thoughts and discerning not only the truth therein if there be any...but also...that discernment reveals the heart of the man as well. May it go well for you friend...my work and time in this...

    ONCE….ONCE….(OSAS)….ONCE!!!

    If you read through my posts you would have seen that I believe that when the Holy Spirit indwells the spirit of a man...the man is "born again and saved"...I actually explained what it means to be saved. Ok so here is what I said...with emphasis...first you called what I said here "legalism."...

    Revelation 11:1-3 - Can someone explain to me what these 3 verses are telling us?

    Well friend…I stated my answer to these questions in post #32 and in my original response to you…#35 and a subsequent response to “ewq1938” #37…I understand that you and most others may have never heard this before…at least you have the stones to dig into it to this point…which I admire…just...

    Revelation 11:1-3 - Can someone explain to me what these 3 verses are telling us?

    Well based upon my responses to you from above in regards to the difference in the definitions between the “church” and the “Body of Christ”…no I do not agree. To you perhaps it is an issue of semantics…I am fine with that Spiritual Israelite…understand it the way you desire…I am merely sharing...

    Revelation 11:1-3 - Can someone explain to me what these 3 verses are telling us?

    As I see it typically…agree with the denominational by-laws for membership…show up on Sunday for service…listen to the pastor/preacher…sing along in the “worship service”…bring in a tithe and in some cases an offering as well. Perhaps one might function in a formal capacity as an “usher, small...

    Revelation 11:1-3 - Can someone explain to me what these 3 verses are telling us?

    Well to begin with…the Holy Spirit additionally the Body of Christ has “specific parts”…many of them [1st Corinthians 12, Romans 12] for reference. These “parts” are members of the One Body who are “called” according to God’s “predestined foreknown intention for each of them” as written in...

    Revelation 11:1-3 - Can someone explain to me what these 3 verses are telling us?

    The life that is being lived…here is a very basic picture of how I see it…there is more. Life in the “Body of Christ” is family…“fathers and children”…continually living life together with one another, eat meals together…in a “personal and daily” basis. Intimate spirit lead relationships...

    Revelation 11:1-3 - Can someone explain to me what these 3 verses are telling us?

    Greetings @ewq1938... That may be your question...but its not the right question. All that comprises the Body of Christ on earth and in heaven know...that the Lord Yahshua Christ is the King of kings...of that there is no doubt among them. Allow me to bring the whole of my statement into view...

    Revelation 11:1-3 - Can someone explain to me what these 3 verses are telling us?

    I am suggesting that it is the “Body of Christ”…which I believe is different than the church. The “apostasy” is what separates the “church” from the “Body of Christ”…the event depicted in Revelation 12:5??? We can get a better understanding of these “two olive trees, and the two candlesticks”...

    Has the time come when all truth is revealed?

    Greetings @Hobie...interesting question The answer as I see it is...no...I see it this way because the age is not yet complete and the Lord is still revealing that which is yet hidden in Him. Redd...:)

    Revelation 11:1-3 - Can someone explain to me what these 3 verses are telling us?

    Part 5 The “measuring rod like a staff”…is the Lord Yahshua Christ…the judge, the standard of a godly life and the “rod of correction.” The “temple of God” is the "Head and Body" known as "Christ" that hosts the Spirit of God…His dwelling place…the “naos.” The “alter and those who worship in...

    Revelation 11:1-3 - Can someone explain to me what these 3 verses are telling us?

    Part 4 "Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months.” You do not measure the court which is outside…this would be more in the hieron…because you are in the court...
