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 if you care to we're gonna pick it up today 2nd Samuel chapter 6 verse 1 and in our last lecture we saw David anointed the king over all of Israel all of the twelve tribes the natural seed of Jacob and then the Philistines I guess they heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel and thought well if we're gonna attack we better attack before he gets any more powerful than he already is so they brought it in David inquired of the Lord and defeated the Philistines and the second time that they regrouped the Philistines and came up to war against Israel God took care of at that time the the motion above the the goin in the tops of the mulberry trees the sound of the armies of God chapter six it's been seventy to eighty nine years since the Ark of the Covenant has left the mosaic Tabernacle when Israel first moved into the promised land the mosaic Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant were in Shiloh the the first location of the tabernacle it was then moved to Gibeon at that point the Ark was lost to the Philistines the tabernacle actually ended up at nob with a buyeth are the the priests there but anyway finally David's taken the idea that he wants to bring the ark to Jerusalem where he has established the Catholic capital of the twelve tribes of Israel the capital was at Hebron when he was the king over Judah only but David's about to mess up and let's ask that word of wisdom in Yeshua's precious name father we ask you to open eyes open ears this day Chapter six of second Samuel verse one and it reads again David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel thirty thousand and the chosen meaning the selected leaders and it's not specific here but in first chronicles chapter 13 verse 2 it goes into more detail that the Levites and the priests took a more predominant role in the bringing forth of the ark once again we see that example where Samuel and kings are seen from man's eye and more often concentrate on the role man played in this the army the military the political leaders chronicles on the other hand is God's view of the events and therefore we see more of a role put on emphasized on the role that the religious leaders of the community played this again David gathered is referring to the fact that when they anointed him king over all of Israel the twelve tribes that was the first time that he gathered them together the leaders in other words of the tribes and again he's doing so at this event the bringing up of the Ark of the Covenant or the attempt to bring up the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem verse two and David arose and went with all the people that were with him from Bailey of Judah to bring up from thence the Ark of God whose name is called by the name of the Lord that you ahve of Hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims and no David didn't ask enquire of a buyeth are the priests the Urim and the Thummim should I bring up the Ark of the Covenant ala is say an old Canaanite e-town the land of canaan was occupied by the twelve tribes of Israel the Promised Land Ala according to the Hebrews was called quor'toth jerem verse 3 and they set the Ark of God upon a new cart and brought it out of the house of abinadab that was in Gibeah and Uzi and Ohio the sons of abinadab graved the new cart these were if not priests at least Levites and God had blessed the house of abinadab since the Ark of the Covenant had been there now this new cart who else moved the Ark of the Covenant on a new cart the Philistines when they returned it after it had been in gas in ekron and finally they said oh well we've had enough of this Ark of God we're all tired of having Emeralds hemorrhoids or being struck by dead by the Lord so they returned the Ark of the Covenant on a new cart this is not good a been a dab being a Levite if not a priest should have known better than to put the Ark of God on a cart as the Philistines did God tolerated this from the Philistines why because they were heathen they didn't have any way of knowing any better a been a DAB his sons Musa and Ohio should have known better the Ark of the Covenant was to be moved in numbers chapter 2 we learned in three on staves or poles not to be touched by men verse four and they brought it out of the house of abinadab which was at Gibeah accompanying the Ark of God and Ohio went before the Ark who's walking along beside the cart which was carrying the Ark of God and Ohio was going in front I'm sure this looked very religious we can take a lesson from it that all that looks religious isn't all that religious sometimes you know God told us how he wanted us to do things in the letter that he wrote to us the Bible and they're not doing it the way God said to do it and that's something you should be concerned about when you worship the Lord be sure that you worship Him the way Hugh said to worship Him not making up some new religion not making it up as you go or following the traditions of the elders were often known as the traditions of men verse five and David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord or danced before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of fir wood even on harps and on sull trees and on timbrels and on cornets and on cymbals and what we have here is a real religious hoedown wingding I mean I'm sure David is thinking man we got the Ark of God on a new cart we've got the band wound up this has got to be pleasing to our Heavenly Father verse 6 and when they came to Nate John's threshing floor who'sa put forth his hand to the Ark of God and took hold of it for the oxen shook it they went across talo place like a low bridge and the oxen stumbled and the cart shook so violently that the Ark of God almost was dumped from the cart who'sa stuck forth his hand to steady the cart so it actually would not hit the ground verse 7 and the anger of the Lord was kindled against xur and God smote him therefore his error for his rashness or negligence and there he died by arc of God now I can hear a lot of people say well why did God do that I mean a loser was trying to do was to keep the ark from falling off of that cart well being a Levite he should have been familiar with Numbers chapter 2 which outlines how the ark is to be prepared to be moved by the priests and then the Levites more specifically the family of the KOA thights were to carry the Ark of God on staves or poles not to be touched and God told the Levites and all of Israel and anyone who is willing to read numbers chapter 2 you don't touch the Ark of God or you will die that was then when God says don't touch the Ark of the Covenant he meant it and when he said you will die unfortunately who'sa learned the hard way he did die don't make up your own religion do things the way that God said to do them watch out for new religions verse 8 David's going to express a number of feelings and emotions at this point and David was displeased this could be translated he was angry his anger won't last long because the Lord had made a breach upon who'sa a breach is a breaking forth upon and he called the name of the place parrots who'sa to this day to the time of this writing is what to the time of this day means the breach of ouzo is what Perez Musa translates and David was afraid his anger soon turned to fear of the Lord that day and said how shall the Ark of the Lord come to me well not on a new cart they're going to learn after studying the law which I guess they should have done before they took on this never they're saying we better do things right this time here we see David I think expressing anxiety he's feeling a bit of guilt yeah did I do something David is thinking to himself to cause the death of ouzo verse 9 and David was afraid of the Lord we got that let's go with verse 10 so David would not remove the Ark of the Lord unto him into the city of David that's Jerusalem but David carried it aside into the house of obed-edom the get tight I think David decided that this is not what the Lord wanted to happen or what happened who'sa would not have come to pass so he's saying let's let's take a timeout here and leave the arc at obed-edom the get tight and obed-edom obviously a priest or a Levite someone who was instructed in the care and ministering to the Ark which is obvious by the next verse verse 11 and the Ark of the Lord continued in the house of obed-edom the get tight three months and the Lord blessed obed-edom and all his household God was pleased with the ark being located in obed-edom because he blessed the house of obed-edom now understand - David is anxious for the nation of Israel which he is responsible for to be blessed as the house of obed-edom is being blessed verse 12 and it was told King David saying the LORD hath blessed the house of obed-edom and all that pertain earth unto him because of the Ark of God so David went and brought up the Ark of God from the house of obed-edom into the City of David with gladness seventy to eighty nine years since the ark had been back say in the capital Jerusalem or where the tabernacle was located no doubt the and remember we have priests and Levites that were part of this first effort to bring up the Ark they knew better than to put the ark on a new cart you can bet there was no new cart with this fresh attempt they probably pulled out the Book of Numbers and reviewed the instructions that God gave to man on what you must do and not do when you're moving the Ark of the Covenant verse 13 and it was so that when they that bear the Ark of the Lord had gone six paces he sacrificed oxen and fat legs the he here being David no doubt through the priests and what they're doing here is they took six steps no cart this time and then they set the ark down and probably set up a temporary altar and made sacrifice there before the ark and David danced before the Lord that's yah hah they with all his might and David was girded with a linen ephod this would have been a linen ephod of the color white which was worn usually by the priests not in their official capacity when they were serving in and around the temple they would have had their priestly robes on but these white linen ephod were more or less a casual or a what's the word I'm looking for leisure clothing that the priests would wear and don't take this that David is trying to take on a priestly role he knows better than that but he is the king of Israel which was called to be a priestly nation and then the as the leader of that he's wearing the white linen ephod and I think - you know he could have been wearing his kingly robes but he's humbling himself by wearing this white linen ephod verse 15 so David and all the house of Israel brought up the Ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet a time of great joy among the people of Israel seventy to eighty nine years the ark had been tucked away either with the Philistines or occurred after him at the last three for the last three months at the house of obed-edom but finally our God said I'll dwell among you and that's what the Ark of the Covenant represented was God dwelling among the people of Israel now everybody is happy with the situation verse 16 and as the Ark of the Lord came into the city of David me call Saul's daughter looked through a window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord and she despised him in her heart a couple things on this verse note that it states me call Saul's daughter macaws David's wife but she's not acting like David's wife that's the reason the the writer of this wrote that may call Saul's daughter now you see McCall is used to she likes the the hero David David who's in flashy armor with his sword girded on or David in his kingly robes with his crown upon his head she doesn't like David who has humbled himself and is wearing a white linen ephod he's not acting like King David he's certainly not acting like Saul her father would have acted because the Lord had left the soul verse 17 and they brought in the Ark of the Lord and said it in his place David had had a tent erected for this purpose in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord David we're going to learn in chapter 7 is living in a palace made out of fancy cedar Hiram the king of Tyre sent carpenters and cedar wood and artisans to make David quite a palace but here we have the Ark of God sitting basically under a tent some might ask well why did David put up this temporary tent why didn't they bring the mosaic tabernacle from Gibeon where Zadok is the high priest remember we've got two high priests at this time the dock at Gibeon a bio thar's with David David hadn't quite figured out how all that's going to work out it's not normal to have two high priests I guess David's trusting the Lord to tell him how that's all going to work out verse 18 and as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts this is yah they suppose then this is a very special time in Israel that this is going and David's going to bless the people further verse 19 and he David dealt among all the people even among the whole multitude of Israel as well to the women as men everyone to everyone a cake of bread symbolic I think like to think of the bread of life and he gave that to the whole multitude of Israel just as salvation is available to all of the people today through Jesus Christ and a good piece of flesh and a flagon of wine the wine that symbolizes the blood of Christ as a sacrament in Holy Communion so all the people departed every one to his house all of Israel happy well what the exception of one McCall isn't finished with David yet then David returned to bless his household he blessed the nation first and then he was returning to bless his own house and me call the daughter of Saul again not the wife of David came out to meet David and said how glorious was the king of Israel today who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself these white linen ephod were rather short and what McCall is saying here is you you dressed as a commoner not as the king of Israel and the ones who wore the white linen ephod most commonly or the Levites and the priests and times of leisure or casual attire and she's putting down the priests and Levites here by calling them vain fellows as they've these vain fellows shamelessly uncover themselves she she like David in his kingly robes and in his armor you know the house of Saul remember when Saul was trying to kill David and McCall told David you better get out of here because Saul is gonna kill you if you're here in the morning she lowered David down through a window so that he could escape and then she took a figure in the house and laid it in the bed so that those who came by would think it was David in bed who was she was saying he was sick but you remember what she put in that bed it was a terror foam that's an idol so the house of Seoul we see had grown completely away from the worship of Yahweh and we see that manifested in his daughter Nicole verse 21 and David said unto me called it was before the Lord which chose me before thy father and the caldas said ouch and before all his house to appoint the ruler over the people of the Lord over Israel therefore will I play before the Lord I'll show my joy and humble myself before the Lord David would humble himself before the Lord McCall refused to humble herself before the Lord and there'll be a price to pay verse 22 and I will yet David continues to McCole be more vile than thus and will be based in mine own sight and of the maidservants which thou has spoken of those you say I exposed myself to of them shall I be had in honor that they the maidservants will honor me because I humbled myself before the Lord even if you won't I couldn't help but think about the words of Jesus in Matthew chapter 23 verse 12 and other places in the New Testament Jesus would say that if you humble yourself God will exalt you but if you exalt yourself prepare to be abased to be brought low McCall is about to be abased verse 23 therefore me called the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death to remain childless was a punishment that God reserved for those who violated his Commandments and when the law was given several of the violations of the law were punishable that they would remain childless McCall would not humble herself before the Lord the Lord humbled McCall Messiah would indeed come through the seed of David it would not be through his wife McCall it would be through Bathsheba now so we've got David we've got the Ark of the Covenant basically in a tent David in the meanwhile is living in luxury in a palace that's fit for a king and rightly so he is the king of Israel but David decides it's just not right for the Ark of the Covenant to be in a tent when he's living himself is living in a palace and takes it upon himself to build a house for the Lord well there's a very beautiful promise to not only David but to you and me as well in Chapter 7 of the book of second Samuel let's go with verse 1 and it came to pass when the King sat in his house his house of cedar the palace and the Lord had given him rest roundabout from all his enemies it was a temporary time of peace David was a warrior he was a man of blood that would be the reason that he would not build a house for God but don't hold that against David because it was very necessary for Israel to defeat their enemies God utilized David to defeat many of those enemies but at this point it is a temporary time of peace verse 2 that the king said unto Nathan the prophet not to be confused with Nathan the son of David through which Messiah would come see now I dwell in a house of cedar I live in a fancy palace but the Ark of God dwelleth within curtains the Ark of God is outside of I palace in a tent Nathan is means giver if you translate it very similar to the word Nathan M not to be confused I'm not saying Nathan was an mm he was definitely a prophet of the Lord Nathan would not only prophesy God's Word to David he was also important figure in prophesying to David's son through which the kingship was passed down solomon verse three and Nathan said to the king go do all that is in thine heart for the Lord is with thee you know did David asked the Lord should I build a house through the Urim and Thummim know he's once again taking off on his own agenda and Nathan the Prophet said you know go do what is all in thine heart for the Lord is with thee he that's not the word of the Lord he's prophesying there he's offering his own personal opinion to David and obviously with it being David's house being established and growing with the number of wives number of children the victories over the Philistines and all the other enemies of Israel it was obvious that the Lord was blessing David meaning the Lord was with David verse four and it came to pass that night that the word of the Lord came unto Nathan saying now David is going to hear what the Lord has to say about David building a house for the Lord go and tell my servant David thus saith the Lord shalt thou build me and house for me to dwell in in first chronicles chapter 17 verse 4 makes it a little more plain Nathan the Prophet told David thou shall not build thus saith the Lord thou shalt not build me a house here he's kind of that's a little easier but the Lord saying who do you think you are David to think that I need you to build me a house you see man needs God God does not need man other than to love him and I'll add trust and have confidence in him verse 6 whereas I have not dwelt in any house the Lord continues to David since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt even to this day but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle the 40 years that Israel wandered in the wilderness the Lord went before them in a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night and was in the mosaic tabernacled the tent that's referred to there but he's saying you know that's the way I said to Moses that I wanted things to be done I don't need you David telling me that I should have a fancy house to put the Ark of the Covenant in verse 7 in all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel speak a word with any of the tribes of Israel in first chronicles 17 6 it says with any of the judges of Israel whom I commanded to feed my people Israel saying why bilgey not me in house of cedar God hadn't asked any one of the tribes of Israel or the judges he say the judges were in authority while the government of Israel was a theocracy from the time they came out of Egypt in other words ruled by the religious leaders rather than the political leaders or the kings the monarchy and God had not instructed the judges to build him a house of cedar a fancy palace again God needs very little help from man we need his help Merson 8 now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David thus saith the Lord of hosts yah have a Sabbath I took thee from the sheep coat from following the Sheep to be ruler over my people over Israel you were a sheep boy David when I took you and made you the ruler over Israel I didn't find you in that palace of cedar that you're living in now I made it to where you could have that house but again you were a shepherd boy and I made you king of all of Israel and I don't want to get too far into this chapter or else it'll take away the impact of that fantastic promise that God makes to David and you and me as we continue in chapter 7 of second Samuel in our

we ask you to watch over a guide direct touch heal in Jesus precious name Amen and thank you Father alright let's get to some questions and see what's on the mind of folks around the country first up today we have Josey in Mississippi and we are told that whatsoever we do in word or deed do it in the name of Jesus how do we do anything in the name of Jesus what does it mean in the name of Jesus please help me to understand let me give you a scripture Colossians chapter 3 verse 17 states there let your words and works be done in the name of Jesus and that simply means whatever you do do it in the name of Jesus do it the way that Jesus would have done it another scripture Luke chapter 10 verse 17 the disciples returned to the Lord and they were joyful and they said Lord even the demons are subject to us in your name and that's what you want to do when you're dealing with Satan do it in the name of Jesus Christ you have the power over Satan if he's beaten you up in your life order him out of your life out of your home out of your family in the name of Jesus Christ Polly and Missouri I have heard pastor Arnold Murray say many times that we as Christians do not acknowledge any prophecies horoscopes or references to the lunar calendar he said we are children of light and not darkness does this mean we shouldn't declare how beaut the moon is or admire it and the stars is that Satan deceiving us no there's nothing wrong with admiring God's creation if you live in a big city I'd recommend that you take a drive one night on a clear night when you can see God's magnificent creation in the heavens without the city lights making it to where you can't really see it and be amazed at what God has created you're right what Pastor Arnold was talking about is that that all prophecies concerning time in moons are of Satan and all prophecies concerning the Lord and His elect are in days or the solar we go by the solar calendar not the lunar calendar God put those heavens there for signs and seasons we learn in Genesis chapter 1 and it's two separate the day from the night the moon and the Sun so on Jonah in Connecticut how are we going to know when Jesus returns I know there is the news on TV or newspapers I also do you believe everything that you hear and read in the newspapers and on the news or the Internet I hope not I also know how many lies are told by both well you answered my question I just don't want to be tricked thank you again for your teachings well when that last Trump the seventh trumpet sounds the flesh is no more first Corinthians chapter 15 verse 52 and the following verses when Jesus returned and the twinkling of an eye as it states there we are changed into our spirit bodies Zechariah chapter 14 also is a second witness to that Colton in West Virginia I've been studying with you and pastor Arnold so I was little I can't thank you enough for truthful knowledge I have gained through the chapel I love you all and God bless you and thank you for that we love you as well everything god bless everyone involved with your teachings and broadcast my question mark 13 Matthew 24 and Luke 21 why does it say the elect will be put to death or delivered up to death or betrayed to death does it say in the Hebrew manuscripts that the word death is Satan well no it doesn't but we do know from Hebrews chapter 2 verse 14 we find there the reason that Jesus came to the earth in flesh that was to defeat he who has the power of death that is to say the devil and there in Matthew 13:24 Mark 13 when it says death as far as us being delivered up God's elect it is talking about Satan that's who you're going to be delivered up to not going to be killed now the two witnesses they are going to be killed but praise God three days later they raise raised up and guess what as they're ascending into heaven Jesus Christ is descending to the Mount of Olives I say come Lord Jesus come Katharine and Tennessee and thank you for your kind comments let's get to your question when exactly will the big wedding between Jesus and the church happen right after Jesus touches down at the Mount of Olives question is it right after Jesus touches down at the Mount of Olives well you know Katherine many who are of the church who claim to be Christians are going to be deceived by the Antichrist and those who are deceived won't be fit to be the Bride of Christ only his election who refused to take the mark of the beast who also refused to worship the Antichrist are the Bride of Christ you can read about him in Revelation chapter 19 along about verse 12 and the following verses that wedding will follow after he touches the Mount of Olives very shortly I think he's going to take care of the business of Armageddon and Haman GOG first and then we'll have reason to celebrate when is the white throne judgment is it right after the Millennium the 1000 year reign no at the end of the millennium you see after the millennium comes the Eternity and we want all the business taken care of that's going to happen before the and the great white throne judgment is not going to be in the Eternity why because some people are going to be judged to the lake of fire and they're not going to make it to the Eternity but in the Eternity which you can read about in Revelation chapter 21 there will be no more tears God wipes the tears away from the eyes of his children there's no more sadness there's no more sickness there's no more sorrow there is no more death after the Millennium is over and the Eternity begins it's going to be a wonderful place Charles in Texas when the Fallen Angels come back in the end times as they were here in the time of Noah and they marry again will they have offspring and will they be goober or Giants god bless and thank you so much and that was from Charles and Texas they don't have nine months to reproduce so you can bet that they're going to be looking for women and factors they're going to be looking for women and boys who are interested 1st Corinthians chapter 11 Paul warns us that women should have a cover over their head because of the angels first Corinthians chapter 11 verse 10 and the cover is not a little piece of cloth it's Jesus Christ men and women need to have Jesus Christ over their head because of the angels Jim and Georgia is a generation 70 or 72 years well actually there are three different lengths of time that are defined as a generation in the King James Version Bible you have the 40-year generation that was the generation of Israel who were in the wilderness who God sentenced to die in the wilderness why because of their insubordination their unbelief in him they're the ones who decided that they were going to appoint a captain to lead them back to Egypt that was the straw that broke the camel's back numbers chapter 14 God said you're gonna die in the wilderness maybe your children who will go into the Promised Land will appreciate the 70 year generation which gets to answering your question you'll find in Psalm 90 verse 10 excuse me it states the years of man are threescore and ten or seventy in other words the score is 20 threescore being 60 plus 10 excuse me is 70 and then the final generation you have is a hundred and twenty year generation Genesis chapter 6 verse 3 pastor Dennis I was I was lucky enough to have a question answered last this is very important to me and Sally and I don't know where Sally is from but you're going to get another question answer the bloodline from while Christ which Christ would come I understand except the children of Adam and Eve are never mentioned there was Cain and Abel then Seth so any more info after Seth well you can find the exact seed line from Adam all the way to Jesus Christ in Luke chapter 3 verses 23 through 38 and beware there it says the by the seed line of Joseph by law that means his in-laws and he low is the mother of Mary not Joseph there but that whole seed line is listed and of course Cain was not Adam son you won't find Cain in Adams genealogy as it's listed in Genesis chapter 5 you won't find Abel in Adams genealogy in Genesis chapter 5 either why because he was killed before he had any children no progeny no genealogy hi this is mallya I live in Florida I am 8 years old well god bless you mallya what does God look like that's a good question believe it or not mahlia god looks a lot like we do you wouldn't think that probably but if you read Genesis chapter 1 verse 26 God says let us make man in our image and that means Mecca let's make them to look like us and who was he talking to when he said us the angels of course the children of God Cory in Kentucky I know that God is not the god of the dead but of the living I'm confused about John 5:28 and 29 where it says the graves shall hear his voice and shall come forth they that have done good I look in the companion Bible at the side notes and it says therefore they are not in heaven or hell speaking about the graves then I think about absent from the body present with the Lord which you'll find in 2nd Corinthians chapter 5 verse excuse me yeah five verse chapter five verses 7 and 8 can you please help me understand well after he was crucified Jesus went to the prisoners who that was the grave and in the Greek language also in the Hebrew language is usually what is also translated as hell Jesus went to the prisoners those who were on the wrong side of the Gulf in chapters 3 first Peter chapter 3 verses 18 and 19 to preach the gospel and when it says there in John chapter 5 28 and 29 those that were dead in other words those were in the graves did hear his voice after the crucifixion many of them believed first Peter chapter 4 verse 6 Maggie in Florida mmm a while back you mentioned about the 12 tribes and how you can tell which of the tribes you are from I have the first name of my great-grandfather his name was Joseph can you tell me what tribe he is from I've been tracing my family for 12 years and came a long way with my genealogy no it's very difficult to tell anyone in this length of time the number of generations we've had since people stopped identifying themselves by the twelve tribes of Israel it would be very difficult for anyone to say what tribe they are from most people if you asked what your great-great great-great-grandmother the mother's name was most people wouldn't have a clue in Michigan please keep showing reruns of Pastor Arnold's memories recordings along with yours that's our intent will I'll be along occasionally to teach a book of the Bible but pastor Marie Arnold Marie's teachings are still very valuable and we intend to make those available for people to view in our efforts here at Shepherd's chapel to spread God's Word it's it's amazing that his teachings are just as relevant and pertinent today as they were when they were recorded get to your question and you said 70 or 72 years we just answered that question which let me get here what did God mean when using 70 or 72 years which is coming up in 2018 or 2020 70 years 70 years from 1948 would be 2018 also a hundred and twenty years well that again is Genesis chapter 6 verse 3 but and you say though how do we know then which is the last generation where does it say in the Bible it doesn't mean that Jesus is going to return in 2018 or 2060 8 which would be 120 years from 1948 Jesus told us in Matthew chapter 25 verse 13 that no one knows the hour you should know the season but not the very hour don't try to set dates because when dates come and dates go and nothing happens your credibility is destroyed John in North Carolina please explain where in the Bible it talks about knowing our loved ones in heaven get that question a lot Ezekiel chapter 44 verse 25 these is a dock which are God's elect now it's in spiritual bodies you have to understand Ezekiel chapter 40 through 48 we're in the Millennium in spiritual bodies in other words and the elect the Zadok will be able to go to their immediate family members to help them if they didn't take part in the first resurrection you would have to know them recognize them to be able to go to them Sarah in California is there any scripture in the Bible about reincarnation well we are often here at shepherd's chapel falsely accused of teaching reincarnation when we start talking about three earth and heaven ages but we're not talking about people being in the flesh more than one time the only time that people flat man will be in the flesh is in this the second earth and have an age there is no such thing as reincarnation Paul teaches us in Hebrews chapter 9 verse 27 it is appointed man but once to die that's it one time through the flesh Philip in Indiana where in the bible is scripture where God said to Moses to make a record of this or something of this nature well not just the Moses but to all of Israel and to us as well Deuteronomy chapter 30 verse 19 and God said there through his servant Moses I call heaven and earth to record this day against you in other words to witness against you that I have set before you life and death blessing and cursing therefore choose life and the choice is ours we can do things God's Way and live or not do things God's Way and die Susan and New Jersey as we watch for the coming of Antichrist who will be charismatic beautiful and able to wrongly convince people he is Christ I always thought Antichrist was Satan yet I heard Dennis say Antichrist will only be here in spiritual body so I'm confused is Antichrist Satan and will he be a real man or a spirit being Antichrist is Satan in his role Satan never has been and never will be born in the flesh he is a supernatural spiritual entity I'm out of time I want you all to know that I love you a great deal because you enjoy studying God's Word in-depth you you enjoy reading the letter that your father wrote to you that
