My heart spark was lit when I began to notice some powerful connecting patterns in the language between the first account of the city of Babel in Gen 11 and the call of the Sprite and Bride in Rev 22. Some things I just never noticed before!
1st in Rev 22:17 The Spirit and the Bride say 'Come'...
I know that.... I'm pointing out the clear language that a 'part' of Israel was 'in heaven' and was cast to the earth and this scripture speaking about Israel of the past.
Purple is much better!
Here is one more scripture to carefully consider, let us ask ourselves How was Israel of the past in Heaven that she could be cast from Heaven to the Earth?
Lamentations 2:1 NAS
1 How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion With a cloud in His anger! He has cast from heaven to earth The...
I'm 100% in agreement with you on this point Drew. For myself I see these descriptions as symbols to communicate the full spiritual awaking and understanding that will happen for all the chosen during the time of the return.
Notice the wording in this vs
1 Corinthians 10:2 NAS
2 and all...
Drew you have made some good points and I agree very much that the promise is about the earth restored. Since you have shared this one vs that speaks of 'coming with the clouds' I'd like to ask you to consider another similarity I recently noticed regarding the language between Christ return and...
Friends I think you all might find the Jewish writing at this site very interesting and spiritually encouraging.

I understand if non Christian people fight, but when the most powerful military nations in the world are supported by the hearts of Christians this concerns me.
Does no one have any other possible ideas for solving this fight some other way? Mankind has been trying the war thing for a long...
Deborah different nations have just used different stories to the same end. How many or us have seen the photos of Priests blessing solders? I believe many soldier are said to be in heaven to.
There are far greater reasons this is happening, 100's of millions of people are living in desperate...
This situation is not about two equal powers arguing. An entire nation of people have been displaced in a very short time from a place they had been living in for over two thousand years.
I find it very interesting how the word 'terrorist' is used so freely here and how this words seems to just...
I don't believe the situations that lead people to such extreme actions and warring can be so simply reduced. These events are results from years and years and centuries of human actions and bad choices that had now created these terrible tensions. There is no good out come from hate and war...
Sometimes I have a hard time to clearly see what the difference is between a suicide boomer and a trained young solder, they both are equipped with deathly tools and often die themselves.....
I'm not an extreme pacifist, I see a very big difference between clearly knowing who is attacking and defending yourself on a personal level. This is a criminal act but a military strike against a whole people who also most likely are victims living in a trapped situation is not self defense...
What does that say for all of the Christians in the world who have not stood up to the war going Christians of our day?
How many 'Christians' have killed other 'Christians' in wars just during the last 100 years?
I'd like to explain why I used the car accidents as an example. Why do we accept such high death rates from the use of industrial made machines? Because we want to live industrially developed and because of this we culturally have accepted these deaths as the 'price we have to pay' for driving...
Jasonc I'm not try to convince you they are 'bad' this is a far larger serious issue for the whole world, something that has been building up for centuries. What I feel is very important as Christians is for us to see that these worldly wars are not for us to agree with or support in any way. We...
Please TOG I believe your the one suggesting people should be killed not me.
I don't think it's a ridiculous comparison at all.
These traffic statistics point out our inconsistency over the reaction to deaths and how we accept some without even questioning and others we totally dramatize. We...
