[Music] welcome to the Shepherd's chapel Network family Bible study hour with pastor Dennis Murray wisdom is understanding God's word pastor Murray's unique teaching approach brings God's Word alive with meaning as he takes you on a chapter by chapter verse by verse study of God's letter to you the Bible and now here is pastor Dennis Murray good day to you god bless you welcome to shepherd's chapel welcome to this family Bible study our ready to get back into our father's word here at the chapel we invite you to get your Bible and join us we're gonna pick it up today 2nd Samuel chapter 18 verse 26 and our last lesson David was at mahan a.m. on the east side of Jordan Absalom and the almost the entire armies of Israel they're not numbered at any place here but there were tens of thousands of them and they were ready to go to war and David divided the troops that were with him up into three divisions he put one group under Joab one under a Bosch eye and one under ita'i and he said I'm going with you and they said no you're worth more than ten thousand of us and you're you stay here and he agreed to do so but remember in our last lecture that the the armies clashed but the wood claimed more of those that were worth Absalom than the sword and that dove in the distant Oaks we talked about Psalm chapter 55 and that dove in the distant Oaks always remember the Dove symbolic of the holy spirit and it was God's army in that woods destroying the armies of Absalom and then what happened soon 20,000 of Absalom troops who died in the battle and it was a slaughter basically but then what happened absalom one of the Oaks grabbed him by the head of the hare and left him dangling now you see Absalom was an accomplished mule rider and why did the Israelites ride mules because God said you don't multiply horses into yourself you don't go back to Egypt to get horses deuteronomy chapter 17 will document that so but he my point is Absalom was an accomplished mule rider he wouldn't have ridden under low-hanging branches of a tree under normal circumstances I think we see God in control the Holy Spirit snatching Absalom off of that mule and then Joab and his armor bearers finishing him off then the one of the high priests sons as a dock the high priests son AAHA Miya's went to Joab and so let me run back to Mahan ay'm until King David the good news and Joab knew that David wouldn't look upon the fact that Absalom was dead as good news so he sent one of his own servants Kushi but a Amaya's was very persistent and insisted on running after cushy cushy had a head start on a Hamas and but a Amaya's was leader of foot he was a faster runner and he passed cushy on the way to Mahan a.m. and as we ended our last lecture David was anxiously awaiting news from the front and one in the watchtower The Watchmen cried out I see a runner coming and David said if it's a one of if he's running alone then he's bringing good tidings good news but if there are many running it means Absalom's armies have been successful and they're running to take cover in the fortified city of Mayhan a.m. so that's where we pick it up today let's ask that word of wisdom in Yeshua Jesus precious name father ask you to open eyes open ears this day we pick it up second samuel chapter 18 verse 26 and the watchman saw another man running the watchman called unto the porter this be the the doorkeeper and said behold another man running alone this is Khushi being outrun by a hum I as and the King said he also bringeth tidings they're both running alone so that means they both have good news it's just one was a faster runner than the other verse 27 and the watchman said me thinketh the running of the foremost the first Runner is like the running of a hawaii's the son of Zadok and the king said he's a good man and cometh with good tidings now the watchman must have seen a hamas run before but what David is thinking is that Joab would not have sent a hamas if the if Absalom had been killed he would have known that that David would have looked upon that as bad news not good news but remember Joab tried not to send a Hamas and sent Kushi in his place verse 28 and ami is called and said unto the king all is well and Shalom in the Hebrew tongue peace and he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king exhausted and in abeyance to the king and said blessed be the Lord thy God which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king and Absalom was at the forefront of those who rebelled against David that lift and up their hand against David now the enemy has been defeated the rebels are dead and gone home is what the message of a Hamas is and the King said is the young man Absalom safe no what's David's first concern Absalom and am i as answered when Joab sent the Kings servant that being cushy and me thy servant I saw a great tumult but I knew not what it was there there was a lot going on and I can't be certain whether Absalom is safe or not we're being so insistent to Joab on he being allowed to run to King David and tell him he's sure not he's afraid to tell David that Absalom is dead verse 30 and the King this being David said unto him turn aside or wait over here and stand here and he turned aside and stood still David wants to see if Kushi has a little more definitive answer concerning Absalom now I understand Absalom rebelled against David he could he stole the hearts of all the men of Israel he went in to ten of David's concubines claiming the throne for himself Absalom was not God's anointed David was God's anointed and it was right what Joab did in putting down the rebels and that includes killing Absalom David's tenderheartedness towards his family was a burr in his saddle a lot David had no problem defeated the enemies defeating the enemies outside of his family and outside of Israel the enemies he had trouble fighting were within with the the borders of Israel within his own family verse 31 and behold Kushi came and Kushi said tidings my lord the king for the LORD hath avenged the this day of all them that rose up against thee including Absalom David should be happy that Absalom is taken out he's not going to be and his reaction is totally opposite of what the fighting men that were with him would have expected verse 32 and the King said unto Kushi is the young man Absalom safe and Kushi answered the enemies of my lord the king that includes Absalom and all that rise against thee to do the hurt be as that young man is he's letting David know but he's doing it rather gingerly carefully he realizes that David is not going to consider the news that Absalom is dead as good news verse 33 and the king was much moved check out this word moved in your Strong's Concordance it means angry and David was angry with Joab for having taken out his son Absalom remember when the troops of David were leaving Mahan am David charged Joab a Bechet and a tie that they be gentle with Absalom David considers this that Joab disobeyed his command to be gentle because he took out Absalom David is dead wrong and went up to the chamber over the gate and wept he's mourning and as he went thus he said oh my son Absalom my son my son Absalom would god I had died for thee O Absalom my son my son now again David is dead wrong in what he's doing the people who risk their necks some of them undoubtedly gave their lives it stated that 20,000 of Absalom's army were slain it's not stated how many of David's died but certainly some gave their life for David to regain the throne all the others risk their life and limb and what are they getting rather than a king who is celebrating a great victory they have a king who is mourning the loss of the enemy his son Absalom and to not do and we don't want to come down on too hard on David because it is out of the natural order of things for a parent to lose a child children grow old and have children of their own and then they die and then their children grow old and have children of their own and then they die it's again out of the order of things for a child to die before the parent and I think it's probably a little more traumatic for a parent to lose a child than a child to lose a parent sure there's mourning and grief when a child loses a parent but I don't think it's as traumatic as when a parent loses a child now in his weakness we're gonna see David's judgment become even further clouded in chapter 19 let's go with chapter 19 verse one and it was told Joab behold the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom weeping and mourning for the enemy inappropriate behavior under the circumstances there were often times that David was not pleased with Absalom's excuse me with Joe ABS behavior Absalom's as well but Joe ABS in particular but here we're going to have Joab is not pleased with David's behaved and he's gonna let the King know and the victory that day was turned and turned into morning unto all the people for the people heard say that day how the King was grieved for his son they say thanks for some thanks for those who were willing to go in risk life and limb our victory is turned into a day of mourning verse 3 and the people got them by stealth that day into the city as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle rather than returning to victory parades and proudly boldly walking into Mayhan am victorious they are as those who are cowards and and run from the battle speaking back into Mayhan am even ashamed to show their face made to feel like cowards rather than victorious victory a victorious army verse 4 but the king covered his face sign of mourning and sorrow and the King cried with a loud voice oh my son Absalom Absalom my son my son you can just hear David's voice echoing through the streets of Mahan a.m. Joab is about to lose his cool and Joab is about to lose his composure and rightly so I think verse 5 and Joab came into the house of the king and said thou has shamed this day the faces of all thy servants by not rejoicing at their victory but rather morning the son the loss of the enemy Absalom and your you've shamed those who risked life and limb to put you back on the throne and this day have saved thy life the lives of thy sons other than Absalom obviously and of thy daughters and the lives of thy wives and the lives of that concubines and this is pretty dis David's nephew talking to him but this is still a pretty bold talk Joab had some brass quite obviously verse 6 in that thou lovest dine enemies you you love your son Absalom and hatest thy friends for thou has declared or made clear this day that thou regardest neither Prince's nor servants you you don't have any regard for your commanders of your army or the regular soldiers you're treating them like they're worthless for this day I perceive that if Absalom had lived and all we had died this day then it had pleased thee well if Absalom had a one you probably would have been acting like we had the victory even if the rest of us gave our lives for you not a good situation you're not making any sense to me Joab said you're not making any sense to the the people that have fought for you bravely verse 7 now therefore arise here we have Joab a servant of David given David orders a command arise go forth and speak comfortably unto thy servants this means to to speak to the heart of your servants the men who fought for you for I swear by the Lord if thou go not forth there will not tarry one with thee this night and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil or calamity that befell thee from the youth from thy youth until now and that was a lot of calamity that had befallen David from the time of his youth but what Joab is saying here is Absalom rebelled and caused the people to leave you now you Absalom is out of the picture you can't blame Absalom for this but if you don't get up and go speak to the hearts of your men and tell them good job we I appreciate you making sure that I had control of the throne still and for saving my life my son's life my daughters and my wives life they're gonna say to heck with you David and you're gonna cause another rebellion and you're going to be left here alone pretty bold talk from Joab well I think that anytime you're speaking the truth you should be able to speak boldly verse 8 then the King arose and sat in the gate and they told unto all the people saying behold or look the king death sit in the gate and all the people came before the king now he's acting more appropriately for Israel had fled every man to his tent this is referring to those who supported Absalom they once they saw Absalom was dead they knew the rebellion was over and they went home imagine a lot of folks who supported Absalom are going to be pretty nervous about what David does when he returns to Jerusalem I think some of them are a little hesitant about him returning to Jerusalem verse 9 and all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel the whole 12 tribes saying the King David saved us out of the hand of our enemies and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines and now he is fled out of the land of for Absalom from Absalom in other words David ran from he delivered us from Philistines and all of our other enemies but he ran from Absalom again David's worst enemies were from within the nation of Israel and within his own family I think the reason David fled was twofold one he didn't want to cause the civil war to occur in Jerusalem which most likely would have destroyed the city - David was shocked at what had happened some of his closest advisors I hit the fell for example went over to Absalom side David didn't know who to trust who he could trust and I think he needed a little time to get that together verse ten and asks Absalom whom we anointed over us this is the people of Israel speaking is dead in battle now therefore why speaking not a word of bringing the King back here we've got a lot of bickering going on among themselves a lot of apprehension anxiety here we anointed Absalom King in David's stead epsilon is dead David's coming back what are we going to do and in Israel needs a rock at this point I mean they have been through a civil war and they need someone to step up to the plate and take control of the nation rather than all this bickering and strife back and forth about what are we going to do verse 11 and King David sent to the dock and to abbath are the priest the high priest saying speak unto the elders of Judah saying why are you the last to bring the King back to his house seeing the speech of all Israel has come to the King even to his house the strife that's going on between the nations that word is getting back to David in Mahan a.m. on the east side of Jordan and David sending a message to Judah which he David is of Judah he was born in Bethlehem Judah and he's saying you know Judah you shouldn't be the last to support me in returning to Jerusalem you should be the first verse 12 ye are my brethren ye are my bones and my flesh wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king you are my tribe you should be the first to support me in returning do you want the other tribes of Israel to think that you're unhappy with my reign as king verse 13 and say you to a massa art thou not of my bone in my flesh a massa son of David's half sister Abigail and God do so to me and more also if thou be not captain of the hosts before me continually in the room of Joab can you believe that David's behavior has become his judgment is becoming more and more clouded what he just did was he made the captain the general of the armies of Absalom whom Joab and the armies under David defeated the head of armies of all of Israel in Joe ABS place punishing Joab for killing Absalom possibly possibly Joab getting even with Joab for calling David out as he dressed him down pretty good there in verses six seven eight I don't know but I'll tell you one thing Joab is not going to take this change lying down verse 4:14 I should say and he this is David bowed or incline the heart of all the men of Judah even as the heart of one man so that they sent this word in unto the king return thou and all thy servants we we want you to come back David and be the king of Israel come back across the Jordan from the east side where the civil war took place verse 15 so the King returned and came to Jordan and Judah came to Gilgal Gilgal being the first place is really encamped after they crossed the Jordan when they first entered the promised land to go to meet the king to conduct the King over Jordan they met Judah came to the west side of Jordan to greet David and form an escort for him to Jerusalem as he was preparing to cross over - from the eastern part of the Jordan now Gilgal is where when Israel first came into the Promised Land God instructed that they one man of each tribe take a stone from the Jordan River which God stopped and the people walked over on dry land and they built a memorial in Gilgal that God had delivered Israel into the Promised Land now there are several people who are very anxious about David returning that wasn't in their plan they thought Absalom was going to be the king they supported Absalom and you got a lot of people who are probably sweating bullets about this time none more so than shimmie verse 16 and shimmy the son of Gera a Benjamite which was a Bey Hume hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David he's not throwing rocks or cursing David at this point as he did when David and his group those who supported him when David first came out of Jerusalem leaving because Absalom had taken over shimmies the one who accused David of being a bloody man a murderer in other words and he told David you know you're getting just exactly what you deserve you stole the throne from Saul the Benjamite and now God is making sure that the throne is stolen from you by your own son Absalom verse 17 and there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him and ziba the servant of the house of soul ziba had something to be worried about - you see he deceived David concerning Mephibosheth when he left Jerusalem and his 15 sons and his twenty servants with him and they win over Jordan before the king they came to meet David as he was crossing the Jordan now ziba has got some problems he's worried about as well you remember when David first came out of Jerusalem ziba brought two asses laden down with bread and olive good wine and cheeses and whatnot and David said what be these and he said well they're for the king and his servants and then he went on to tell David David said well where's my fee Bichette and he said well I heard my Bichette say in Jerusalem today the Lord is going to restore the kingdom of Israel back into my father Saul's house in other words Mephibosheth was going to be the king only one thing Mephibosheth didn't say that ziba was lying David gave all of them of fiblets lands to ziba at that time verse 18 and there went over a ferryboat to carry over the king household his family and to do what he thought good and shimmy the son of Gera fell down before the King as he was come over Jordan shimmy OHS David a huge apology things are not turning out the way that shimmy thought they would he thought David was leaving Jerusalem and leaving for good verse 19 and said unto the King this is shimmy and the one who cursed and threw rocks at David let not my lord impute iniquity unto me neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem that the king should not take it to his heart don't don't hold it against me I know that I did wrong I sinned against you but he's basically throwing himself at David's mercy verse 20 for thy servant doth know that I have sinned therefore behold I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph this has put for all the other tribes other than Judah to go down to meet my lord the King and we have here no proof of true repentance on shimmies part David is going to spare shimmy this day but it's not because he deserved to be forgiven and David never forgot what shimmy did in first Kings chapter 2 verse 8 and 9 David told Solomon probably one of the last words that he had with his son Solomon he said don't let shimmy go down to the grave without blood in other words make sure that shimmy dies a violent death 21 but a beside the son of Zarya answered and said shall not shimmy be put to death for this because he cursed the Lord's anointed and that did qualify him and make him worthy of death you might remember when Jimmy first was cursing David and throwing rocks a bush I said why are you letting this dead dog do this to you let me go over and take his head off David refused and said no I probably deserve what the Lord is giving me my own son Absalom is rebelled against me and taken the throne all this Benjamite has done is curse me leave him alone 22 and David said what have I to do with you you sons of Zarya this means what do I have in common with you that you should this day be adversaries to me that your opponents to me your your throwing obstacles in my way shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel this is a day that we should be rejoicing and celebrating for - do not I know that I am this day king over Israel I don't need you or anyone else Abba shy to tell me that I am The King and I could rightfully take off Jimmy's head verse 23 and we'll stop for the day therefore the king said unto shimmy thou shalt not die you won't die today for this crime against the king and the King swear unto Him and David wouldn't kill him but he would give Solomon as I mentioned a few moments ago instruction don't let shimmy go down to the grave without blood in other words make sure he dies of a violent death one of the first things that Solomon did was he had shimmy build a house in Jerusalem he told shimmy don't ever leave Jerusalem or you will die Jimmy had two servants who escaped and ran away shimmy against the command of the King left Jerusalem to go and get his servants back which gave Solomon occasion to order Ben Anaya one of his key servants to fall on shimmy and slay him well David returns to Jerusalem you've got

direct touch heal and Jesus precious name Amen and thank you Father all right let's get to some questions and see what's on the mind of folks first up today we have Kevin from Kentucky I understand how we could have babylon confusion in the forehead but in the bible that says in the forehead and the right hand would you please explain how we could have confusion in our right hand well you're not talking about babbling you're talking about the mark of the beast and you can read about that in Revelation chapter 13 verse 16 and having the mark of the beast in your forehead means that you don't have the of God in your mind which prevents you from being touched by Satan and his locust army God gave them instruction Revelation chapter 9 verse for everyone else you can touch don't touch mine anointed and when God says don't touch my anointed he means it but if then the mark in the hand means that they're doing the works of the Antichrist Harrison from Maryland I am 88 years old well god bless you I was in my 20s when I got saved I never stopped loving God in my heart but I still went back to my old ways I have repented but still don't feel comfortable when I think of it I feel so terrible and you mentioned some things that you did to your own family members that yeah they were disgusting things that you did and hopefully though you have repented and asked God for forgiveness and this you need to know that once God's forgiven you those sins are blotted out it's like they're not there and I know they they like to hang around in your mind Satan likes to beat Christians up by holding up their past sins but what you need to do is forgive yourself and that's what your your failing to do Harrison is forgive yourself and we'll have you in prayer but you know once those sins are forgiven they're blotted out it's like they never existed bottom out of your mind as well Teresa in Wisconsin I have been with a man for 25 years but we're not married is it wrong to be living together as man and woman I guess you mean as man and wife when a man spreads his skirt over a woman it's a figure of speech and the Old Testament of the Bible means that they had sexual intercourse God considered that they're married we here at the chapel teach that if you know you're of an age where you would jeopardize losing your pension your retirement or other benefits insurance for example there's nothing wrong with you having companionship now on the other hand if you are of an aged where children are a possibility we think that do we teach that it's important that you obtain a civil license why because that protects the rights of the children in the event that the relationship the marriage the [Music] relationship falls apart at some point in the future child support is what I'm talking about Adolphe in South Carolina is Satan in heaven yes he is in heaven and when Jesus said when in Matthew chapter 4 when Satan attempted to tempt Jesus Christ Christ showed us how to handle Satan he said get the hints Satan he rebuked Satan get behind me as what get the hints means and where is Jesus now Jesus is at the right hand of God behind him I think is Satan but he will be booted out of heaven on to earth Michael and his angels war with Satan and his angels Michael's victorious and Satan and his angels are booted out onto earth Revelation chapter 12 verse 6 in the following verses and it's woe unto you who on her on earth Duceppe in Canada what does the name Hosea mean well Hosea if you translate it rather than transliterated means Savior or salvation Dave from Nebraska the mailing address for shepherd's chapel is peel box four one six was that number by accident or by fate and then he points out that the number four in biblical numerix is creation or the world and sixteen is love you are the first to point that out and I think that's interesting that no one has ever noticed that before but world love is what our mailing address means and that's what God's Word is is a world love Richard from Louisiana I have a few relatives that are gay and lesbians that are married and getting married which I love as well I am their uncle and I lie about why me and my wife don't go to their weddings I feel bad for lying and not going but I know it's wrong because I know what happened with Sodom and Gomorrah and don't want to be in the building if that happens again what do you think I should tell them not to hurt them without getting mad at me because my brothers and sisters looks like they're all for it pastor Dennis you and the staff keep up the good work well thank you for that and we're gonna keep on keepin on as long as God wants us to well if anyone asks I would explain to them that you can't support gay relationships due to your religious beliefs and then if they follow that well how is that against your religious beliefs I'd tell them Leviticus chapter 18 Leviticus chapter 20 God states that homosexuality is an abomination and you just don't want anything to do with it if they don't like that well have a nice day Todd from Louisiana if the temple that has talked about in 2nd Thessalonians 2 verse 4 opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped so that he sits as God in the temple of God showing himself that He is God and he's basically quoting 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 4 is this temple already built and if not do you know if the people in Israel started building it or if the temple he's referring to is the temple that is in all of us and if not is the temple a building of worship an actual building house of worship so we could actually see him sitting in the temple please clear this up for me well he will be calling himself God and he will sit in the temple of God God sanctuary in Jerusalem and that's called the synagogue of Satan in Revelation chapter 2 9 Revelation chapter 3 9 there's a second witness to that fact in Isaiah chapter 14 verse 12 in the following verses it states there he will establish his throne on the north side of Jerusalem only one problem that's where God's throne is on Mount Zion Jerry from New Mexico I lost my wife of 46 years we're sorry for your loss and I have been kind of useless since my question is the Bible states there is no marriage in heaven I have always thought I would spend eternity with her but now maybe you can explain this to me and Matthew chapter 22 verse 23 in the following verses the scribes and Pharisees were trying to catch Jesus as they often did they presented a hypothetical situation they said a man was married to a woman before they had children he died his brother took her to wife to raise up seed to his brother he died before they had any children this went on through seven brothers and the scribes and pharisees sadducees included said well in the Eternity resurrection whose which of the seven will be her husband and jesus said you do err in your understanding of God because then the resurrection they neither give nor take in marriage but are as the angels now that does not mean that you won't spend the eternity with her it simply means that you won't have a relationship of man and wife spiritually speaking will all be the Bride of Christ Vikki in California Ephesians chapter 6 verse 14 stand therefore having your loins Girt about with truth and this is where we're instructed to put on the gospel armor if you're not familiar my understanding is that to Girt up the loins was what held up the breastplate or I also read to Gert up the loins is to be ready to fight for me it's cowgirl up please let me know if I am on the right track well yes you are the breastplate not so much but at this time the Bible's time the Old Testament in particular men wore skirts basically and a gird it was nothing more than a belt that would normally be worn around the waist but when someone girded up they took the belt and and fastened the clothing up tightly around the loin so that you could either run more quickly freeing up the legs or fight more easily and we are in a spiritual war and it is time to cowgirl and cowboy up Genevieve in Pennsylvania thank you for all you do you're welcome it's a labor of love believe me how can I respond to a so-called Christian who attends church every week and loves her church yet when we talk about land rights to Israel she strongly believes that the Old Testament is 5,000 years old and doesn't apply today I told her to read Genesis she yelled I have my head in the sand how do I deal with a close relative like that well if you cannot discuss the Bible with a close relative I would advise you to zip it don't talk Bible if it causes strife and fights between you and a relative respect you know you sure you want to plant a seed but don't argue and fight over the Bible that's a waste of everybody's time you're not going to change her mind she's not going to change your mind so be at peace knowing you're going to agree to disagree and be a relative to that person but just don't discuss the Bible HP from Arkansas when in the timeline of endtime events do the battles of Armageddon and Haman God take place are we in flesh when they come to pass is the Antichrist here I thought I heard Dennis say a few weeks ago that they happen excuse me on the first day of the millennium if so who and why are the armies attacking Christ in Jerusalem question why is us attacked per your father I know God the Army's to prove he exists I'm just having problems with wind well the enemies are those who don't worship God and there are two battles that take place on the Lord's Day that is the Millennium when Jesus returns there is no more human flesh all flesh melts away and we're in spiritual bodies that is when Armageddon and Haman GOG take place they're gonna last about five minutes because Jesus Christ wins question two if I understand correctly the one-world political system forms before the Antichrist arrives at it that's correct it fails then Antichrist arrives and heals it that's right the deadly wound and Antichrist reigns for two and a half months until Christ returns is this correct you've got the timeline right on that one does the one world system exist for the first two and a half months of the five months you got it the first beast of Revelation chapter 13 is a political beast if so why not pay our bills utility rent etc ahead five months to cover when Antichrist is here before the mark the worship of Antichrist is required to buy or sell and again your time frame is perfect on that one and that's a good idea if you can afford to pay your bills ahead five months for the time period that Antichrist is here when those who refuse to worship the Antichrist will not be able to buy and sell that's a smart I excuse me a smart thing to do Paul in Nevada when Jesus returns will we still have oceans or will the earth etc be the same as now please reply and yes there will still be seas and oceans when Jesus returned that's when God's throne returns to earth Revelation chapter 21 verse 1 in the following verses that the seas are no more but remember we're all spiritual at that point in time not physical no flesh friend in Wisconsin was heaven here on earth during the first Earth Age no I don't believe it was jeremiah chapter 4 speaks of the end of the first earth age on earth revelation 21 and 22 tells us that heaven will be here on earth when God's throne returns but that's after the Millennium that's after the lake of fire and Satan and his go into it that's when the eternity begins Jerry and Oklahoma if Heaven is here a lot of questions on heaven today why is it that the angels in Jesus descend heaven isn't here on earth now as I mentioned a minute ago but it will be after the millennium and the white throne judgment Maryland and Michigan is tuna a clean fish yes tuna have fins and scales which is what anything that comes of the waters in Leviticus chapter 11 is okay for us to eat if it has fins and scales there for tuna is clean to eat Chris in Colorado will Satan's time here on earth will it be shorter than two months two and a half months well a lot of similar questions today there was silence in heaven one half-hour what is the hour the hour is the hour of temptation the for the fact that the silence in heaven for a half-hour the hour of temptation if you understand Revelation chapter 9 is a five-month period half an hour of silence and heaven equates to two and a half hours that Satan is here on earth Mary in Canada who are the Canaanites and Kenites what is the difference are they the same people no they're quite different people many times however they are confused I guess it's because the word sounds so much alike Canaanites with the sea are the inhabitants of Canaan they were made up of several tribes the girgashites amirite perizzites hivites and Jebusites many of them had mixed with the Nephilim the fallen angels and gibber in the Hebrew the Giants were the result Kenites with a k' on the other hand are descendants of Cain from the Garden of Eden and in 1st chronicles chapter 2 verse 55 which is long after the flood the Kenites had already worked their way in as scribes for Judah revelation 2:9 and 3:9 that's who Jesus is talking about when he says you know who those who claim to be of Judah but do lie nr of the synagogue of Satan they are the Kenites out of time I want you all to know that I love you a great deal why because you enjoy studying God's Word in depth you know what God loves you for that as well when he looks
