Proverbs ~ 26:1 to 26:28

welcome to the Shepherd's chapel Network family Bible study hour with Pastor Arnold 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 Arnold Murray good they tell you god bless you say welcome to the Shepherd's chapel welcome to this family Bible study are ready to get back in our father's word The Book of Proverbs comparisons God giving you the good side and the bad side and what happens when you go either way we're going to open up with the 26th chapter today we're in this particular chapter we when the word fool is utilized in the English language in the book of Proverbs there's about two or three Hebrew words that are translated fool and in this particular chapter the word fool probably would be better fully translated as the senseless man I mean what one you can't tell him anything all right for more reasons than one he wouldn't care a sense this man because he already knows everything and so that type person you've all known one at least in your lifetime so you'll get onto it real good so what that word wisdom from our Father in Yeshua's name chapter 26 verse 1 and it reads as snow in summer and as rain and harvest so honor is not seemly for a fool in other words it doesn't snow during harvest time okay in the summer normally I mean it's very unusual in the early rain that sprouts the seed and and the latter rain that forms the grain during harvest it doesn't rain in this area so what it's saying is honor among a fool or a senseless man is about as hard to find it just doesn't happen that's what it basically says okay you're not going to find honor among a senseless man verse 2 as the bird by wandering as the swallow by flying so the curse causeless shall not come in other words the unmerited as the swallow never sets down once she starts her journey north or south whichever the case may be she doesn't take a break and so it is with unmerited curses this doesn't happen okay and I suppose what this is is a lot of people worry about this you know they worry about things whether it happens or doesn't happen and if things are going too good they worry anyway called worrywarts you know you don't you don't want to be that way it's it's not gonna like near you just as the swallows not going to set down until she arrives at her destination three a whip for the horse a bridle for the ass and a rod for the fools back now all three of these are necessary and and so it is it actually we say a rod for a fools back you may feel like it but but you want to have nothing to do with one a senseless person as little as you can you certainly don't want them as a friend and if you can at all help it you don't want them as a neighbor and so the least you can have to do with them the better off you are many that may upset a lot of Christians with their bleeding hearts but hey this type senseless person you couldn't tell them anything anyway okay they already know it all okay they're not interested in what you might have to say so it takes a little rebuke sometimes that's what this has to do with it takes a little rebuke sometimes to have order to have control of your own life and to have discipline a little tough love never hurt anybody okay verse four except the person that has must amend administer it basically for answer not a fool according to his folly lest thou also be likened to him you cannot reason with a senseless man you're going you're going to lose every time so it there's no need in even answering or trying to answer with Correction of course the this this is kind of a no-win situation naturally you always want to pray for somebody that you know needs help but not maybe not even letting them know that God would touch them and would give them a change of heart and a change of mind necessarily but don't play their games don't play don't play foolish games if you if you listen to a fool you're a bigger fool than they are okay because you know better verse five answer a fool according to his folly lest he be wise in his own conceit but answer him in what way rebuke heaven it's better to rebuke him with an answer of that nature than it is to go along with his folly because his type folly is not just a sense of humor it's harmful it's damaging it damages people okay and it's certainly not going to help him for you to play his game with him all right verse six he that sent at the message by the hand of a fool coulda thought the feet and drinketh damage in other words you take a person youyou wouldn't send a message with someone that couldn't walk okay that you you and if you send if you send a message with a fool it's supposed to be confidential it won't stay that way okay a fool can't keep it he would deliver that message to everybody he came in contact with which would render it totally out of step okay verse seven the legs of the lame are not equal so as so is a parable to the mouth of fools they can't understand a parable never going to totally see it okay and so in the same way this is not mocking handicapped people by any means okay everybody has their place and has their profession and has their gift and to themselves handicapped people certainly their gifts there's real special and but you wouldn't send a person is not able to to navigate as a messenger okay but I daresay if you did it would still be secret when he could finally got there but not with the fool verse eight as he that bind at the stone in a sling so is he that giveth honor to a fool now what do you do with the sling a slingshot is something you throw a stone with just as little David did against the giant Goliath and naturally you placed the stone in the leather and you swing it and let turn loose with one end and the stone flies only a fool would take him bind the stone to the leather where it couldn't come out okay what a foolish thing that would be it would make the sling absolutely useless okay and so but let me read it again and let's discuss that as he that bind as the stone is sling so is he that giveth honor to a fool in other words if you give honor to a fool you're stupid enough to tie a stone in a sling where it couldn't come out that means you'd be pretty stupid okay that's telling it like it is translating it like it dreams verse 9 as a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard so is a parable in the mouth of fools in other words a drunkard is so drunk he's insensitive to when the thorn sticks him he's not even aware of it and so is a parable in a fools mouth he's he is insensitive to it has no idea what he's talking about or what you're saying verse 10 the great God that formed all things both rewarded the fool and rewardeth transgressors you know mm-hmm I always hate it when or dread it when a scripture comes along that is so contaminated that we have to correct it too considerably you will notice the word God is an italics meaning it was added the word God is not in the manuscripts okay then what does the manuscript say it says a great man forms his own work and is both rewarded by it and the if he hires a fool or the first person a fool hires the first person that comes by and his reward and it rewards the transgressor in other words just not going to get it done so what does it say then a great man that's just say a man that has a good profession he's going to do the work himself he's not going to hire some fool the first one that comes by that's going to cobble it up okay he's going to do the work himself that that's what the parable means and our Heavenly Father of course I could really make a great deal out of that he formed all things but but this is talking about someone getting their work done well what what's the moral of it many times it's much better when you're good at it which this man is he's a he's a professional at his trade it's far better for him to do it himself and know it's done right okay otherwise it'll get cobbled most every time verse 11 as a dog return us to his vomit so a fool returneth to his folly folly unteachable this again is where this particular fool is a senseless man you just can't tell them anything all right that's a little graphic but he our Father gets it done all right that's very clear verse 12 see Estelle a man wise in his own conceit there is more hope for a fool than of him in other words for some for a self-righteous hypocrite he's worse than a fool in God's eyes well you can't tell him anything he's so conceited that he thinks he knows it all you're not concerning God's Word let's say I don't care how many years you study God's Word you're never going to understand all of it you're always in the process of learning and any time a minister thinks he understands all of God's Word his ministry is just about to die because it's going to stand still and any time a ministry stands still instead of growth it dies okay that's just the way it goes so I don't care how many times you teach the Word of God if you do your homework if you pray and if you have God's leading it you're always in a learning mode you never know at all our Father does we don't okay it's really quite simple and now we go to the lazy man again moral a self-righteous hypocrite is worse than a fool okay in God's eyes 13 the slothful man has to say a lazy person saith there is a lion in the way a lion is in the streets young that doesn't often happen you know if you're in the jungle you might have a lion out there but what the lazy person says is I can't go 5:2 job today because there's a lion out there in the street if I go out there I'll be harmed so I'll just stay here and I'll do it tomorrow but tomorrow never comes with a lazy person they that's their makeup and they kind of get in the way when you want to get something done so you're better off to not have a lazy person around you I'll say that again you're better off not to have an out-and-out lazy person around you because when you start to do something they'll be in the way verse 14 as the door turneth upon his hinges so that the slothful upon his bed now you all have heard me use this many times it's a saying of gods that that Malawi's the door fastened to the pose well on the hinges and it swings back and forth well what does God sing a lazy person is the same way as the door only he's hinged to a mattress all he can do is flop from one side to the other and groan each time he turns oh my oh my oh my never does anything okay now I want to make one thing very very clear this is not talking about handicapped persons okay this is not talking about people with a disability if you have a disability you couldn't work anyway you're doing your work within your home yourself and we take care of handicapped our government does our system is set up to whereby you're taking care of and no one expects you so I the reason I'm saying this I always when I talk about the lazy person I get letters from people that are in habilitated to the point that they can't work and they feel it puts them on a guilt trip don't don't god bless you and God does bless you you you enjoy that blessing and do what it is that you do okay but don't worry about not being employed or not doing this or that okay so this has nothing to do with a handicapped person but I use this this 26th chapter of the 14th verse many many times because I think it gets it said it's God's Way of describing a lazy person just like he's hinged to a masterís all he can do is flop from one side to the other this is why that in the New Testament it is written in second Thessalonians chapter 3 verse 10 that if a man won't work don't feenin okay don't don't feed him and and you know what if you won't feed him it won't be too long till he will decide whoa I need to work and he learns a lesson the hard way verse 15 to continue the slothful again we're still on the lazy person the slothful hide at his hand in his bosom agree with him to bring it again to his mouth this is the height of laziness here this word bosom you want to translate it dish it's a deep dish okay he is so lazy that he won't even feed himself he who's too lazy to draw his hand from the deep dish to his mouth to feed himself he wants somebody else to feed him that's that is the ultimate in laziness there a person like that would be very very difficult to even tolerate okay I would let him sit there as long as he was not handicapped nothing wrong with feeding a handicapped person but if a person is not handicapped as far as I'm concerned let him starve it won't be too long you see there's God built a special little micro switch between the navel and the backbone and when they get too close together it starts saying work work work work you know do it do it do it and so it is that's the way it works man then in fact give him a whole different outlook on life verse 16 we're still on the lazy person the slugger is wiser in his own conceit then seven men that can render a reason that lets you know why this is called a senseless man you could have seven men that were good counselors and the sluggard in his own conceit would be wiser than all seven of them put together you couldn't tell him any thing and again I'm sure that many of you have met in your lifetime at least one like this can't tell them anything they know it all in their own conceit they're wrapped up with self but isn't it isn't it strange that to be so wise they are worthless verse 17 he that passes by in middle-earth with strife belongeth belonging not to him is like one that taketh the dog by the ears this is kind of a in other words a person that butts into somebody else's business that metals into it when he's got no business there none of your business but you just see these two people at it and you get right in the middle of it what is it what does it mean it's like taking a dog by his ears and this is not your dog this is a strange dog a big one okay you know when when you grab him by the ears you got both hands full okay meaning you're not going to be able to help the people that have got the trouble anyway you're busy and it doesn't really matter too much of what you do when you turn loose of those ears guess what's going to happen to you you're gonna get bit okay so I can't think of a better analogy telling you don't meddle in somebody else's business when they're having troubles you know especially if it's a man and his wife okay you want to be very careful there because they were both turning rindy okay they'll they were if you say anything about either one of them they'll turn around and both of them will be on your case you talk about grabbing a dog by the ears and well you'll hold him long enough but when you turn him loose and you can't get bit every time okay don't meddle in business that you that's belonging not to you okay verse 18 as a madman who cast his firebrands arrows and death verse 19 to continue so is the man that deceiveth his neighbor and sayeth am NOT i in sport in other words this is this is a person that really mean mouse is neighbor and I mean really comes down on him and and harms him firebrands means words that just really burn but then when it's all over he's I'm just teasing I was just cutting it up I didn't really mean it you know they says I'm just sporting you he been saying her and then says it says teasing and he said God doesn't particularly like that okay and again it's kind of like the last parable we had there is that you meddle with strife belonging not to you in other words it's none of your business okay and so it is with your neighbor you know again I want to reiterate you can't have a better friend than a neighbor because the neighbor is the closest one to you and they look after your property when you're gone when you need help and you're in a bad way they're going to be there and you might say well what about if somebody is really in trouble should I that's none of my business well yes it is it becomes when somebody is hurt and wounded then it does become your business as a good Samaritan to help that person you're not meddling in somebody's business that isn't jurors in a case like that you're doing the Christian thing you're trying to and if you don't know what you're doing make sure you call somebody that does okay that's the way that's what that is what your duty is if you don't know what you're doing you could hurt somebody in trying to help them but get help that's that's the admirable thing to do but at the same time get along with your neighbor don't don't tease him in a bad way because it's the one of the best friends you've got I'll use it this way it's one of the most useful friends you've got because he uses you and you use him by that I mean you look and you watch his back and he watches yours and it doesn't get any better than that and it's valuable it's a a good neighbor is a valuable thing okay person verse 20 where no wood is there the fire goeth out so where there is no tale bare the strife sees this and so it is you get a ratchet Joe that all he can do is care did you know about so-and-so's wife or do you know about so it's those husband do you know if you know just carrying bad information here there and yon when we get rid of somebody like that you don't need them around you you don't need them you certainly don't need a friend like that because it doesn't matter what you do if they don't if there isn't if you're not doing something bad they will make something bad up about you okay because they like to carry tales they like to gossip and gossip is a harmful harmful thing always face truth keep truth and bear truth that's the truth is the Word of God do it his way and but this is the way you get rid of strife you don't need it life is too short to put up with it okay verse 21 as coals are to burning as coals are to burning coals and wood to fire so is a continuous man to Kindle strife this is kind of like charcoal chunks of just like chunks of charcoal or two burning cold while you put them in there boom they're gone okay well you take a continuous man you you're gonna you got strife built in you do not need it and a senseless contentious person you don't want it in your list of close friends well why not because you don't need strife the strife can ruin your health it can give you high blood pressure from putting up with anxiety okay you don't need it you need peace and peace comes from our Father and that's father's advice it doesn't get any better than his advice verse 22 the words of a tale bare are as wounds they hurt and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly in other words they if it's personal especially if it's a lie it does hurt now there comes a time when if you're a public figure that you get such tough skin and your character is good enough that it's the old cliche from the New Testament that you could drink poison and it wouldn't hurt you that's a figure of speech or an idiom that means anybody can say whatever they want to about you but your character can cut it okay your character is so aboveboard that it doesn't bother you and quite frankly you don't care what tale bearers say it's a bunch of malarkey and people that know you know it is okay so when you'd arrive at that place but otherwise when you really lie about somebody and it hurts their reputation it is hurtful it truly is and it's personal and and and wounding and do you need somebody like that around you that carries stuff like that No so what do you do about it get rid of them don't don't be around them okay you don't that you do not need friends like that 23 burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross no it didn't say covered with silver it says dross off of do you know what that is that slag okay I mean but but let's let's translate this like it is burning lips is glowing glowing statements of love okay glowing statements of love coming from a set of lips that has a wicked heart is like a beautiful piece of potsherd only it's covered with slag not silver and in other words that's a con artist that can whisper great sweet things of love but they're meaner than an old horny toad okay nor nito's they're not that mean really really but I mean they look mean to some people when you look at them but a con artist it's just worthless okay you can't count on them you can't depend on them and you don't know whether they're lying or not but you see if their lips are going you can rest assured they're probably lying okay saying great statements of love usually it would be Satan's main method of operation is what a wonderful person you are okay when something when a con artist starts telling you what a wonderful person you are and how far you are above other people you better tighten your belt and you better get your act together cuz he's fixing to win you okay you that that's the way Satan operates he likes to play on one's ego okay so they're there they are they got the sweetest lips and they can save the sweetest words but they're a dried-out old piece of potsherd with nothing but slag on it nothing valuable whatsoever about them or what they might say verse 24 he that hateth dissemble earth with his lips tears up and lies falsehoods and layeth up deceit within him in other end within his heart in other words he's he's a con artist and con artists can hurt you they have a story and a tale that really a bleeding heart Christian can fall right into his trap if you're not careful 25 when he speaketh fair this to say agreeable and gracious things okay when he speaketh fair believe he's not for there are seven and abominations in his heart and it doesn't get any worse than that okay you just I mean a con artist when when he starts talking agreeable and gracious again grab your wallet hide your purse lock up the kids okay that's a that's an old southern saying and and it's very true twenty-six whose hatred is covered by deceit his wickedness shall be showed before the whole congregation he always shows himself up a con artist does there's just one sad point about it usually when he shows himself up he's already ripped off the whole crew and he's gone okay verse 27 who's so diggeth a pit shall fall therein and he that roll of the stone it will return upon him it's gonna fall right back upon him when when you them when you trap others you're gonna trap yourself though that's what's the trouble with a con artist whatever he digs and brings forth it's going to come back on him well how does that happen God sees to it our Heavenly Father does not appreciate con artists and if if there's anything that God dislikes it's that that is abominable remember way back in the Proverbs what was it six sixteen or is it 16 six is six sixteen the six things that God hates and the seventh is an abomination okay he doesn't tolerate that okay so so it is with these they're he's gonna bring it right back up on his head and when when you set a trap or a con for somebody else it's going to come back on you God is going to see to it that's that's the whole point verse 28 to complete the chapter a lying tongue hated those that are afflicted by it in a flattering mouth worketh ruin in other words they don't care anything he a lying tongue hates those that has no respect for people that that he can con you know it he may be talking gracious and all that but if you're dumb enough that he can con you he has no respect whatsoever for you so wisdom is a beautiful thing and and I want to make this statement to round out the chapter a wise person is never conned okay a wise person never grabs a strange dog by the ears meddling in somebody else's business or each going to get bit okay so you've had some very good personal advice don't ever be hinged to a mattress okay what a chapter this 26th chapter of these great proverbs God's showing you the comparison with doing what's right and doing what's wrong you've got some bad hombres in that chapter you want to be careful beware of them the world has them they're out there see that you're wise enough that you're never conned alright bless

wants from you father around the globe we come we ask that you need guy direct father touch in Yeshua's precious name Thank You Father amen okay John from Missouri we're gonna go with here at first today would you please explain first Corinthians 14:2 I'll be happy to first Corinthians 14:2 stipulates that if you're speaking an unknown tongue that means a tongue that the people you're talking to do not understand I'll I'll do it in this way let's say that you're talking to in people in your speaking Japanese God and the angels are going to know what you're saying but the english-speaking people are not going to understand what you're talking about they won't know when to say amen they will not you will be like a horn playing without a harmony and that's what it's talking about do yourself a favor if you don't understand that and look this word language up or tongue it is it is a language you were not born with it is a language you must acquire it's not you're not your original birth language and so you have to learn that tongue so that when yours if you're speaking Japanese you speak English you learn English so that you can teach English people God understands all languages that's what it's talking about so he's quite happy now we have a different tongue than this it's called the Pentecostal tongue the Pentecostal tongue you will read of in Acts chapter 2 and the beauty of the Pentecostal tongue there's nothing unknown about it the real miracle is that I don't care what language you speak as it is written in Acts chapter 2 verse 6 and 7 I don't care if you're English Japanese Russian Chinese or what you will hear it in your own ear in the dialect of the county in which you were born that's biblical and that is truth if you believe God's Word because that's what God words God's Word States in Acts chapter 2 verse 6 and 7 nothing unknowing about the Pentecostal tongue that's Pentecost is the fiftieth day that's the tongue that came on the fiftieth day that is the tongue that God's election will speak in when they're delivered up before the Antichrist Linda from Arkansas that is the Holy Spirit speaking through them Linda from Arkansas to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord what does that mean well Linda apparently you're not familiar with the fact that we have two bodies the first Corinthians chapter 15 beginning with verse 35 will teach you that and this flesh body does go back into soil that's where it came from but you have an inner body within here that's a spiritual body and it as it is written in Ecclesiastes chapter 12 verse 6 instantly returns to the father that gave it meaning to be absent from this flesh body you are present with the Lord in your spiritual body why because again as it's written in Ecclesiastes 12 6 you instantly your spirit which is the intellect of your soul meaning your soul and your other body returns to the father that gave it all people do sinners Saints go to Paradise to wait judgment by Almighty God Angela from Minnesota how can I get a better understanding of the Bible and teach my kids what you study okay and and it's a good idea if you want to study the Bible study where someone teaches it chapter by chapter and verse by verse otherwise if you attend a chapel or somewhere that only teaches one verse a day I think it takes about six hundred years that way to make it through the Bible and not too many people live that long so you need to study where it's taught chapter by chapter and verse by verse but it's such a beautiful beautiful work our father's word is and your children it can change their lives the word does that the word does change lives you can take somebody that really borders and kind of drifts from one thing to another but you hit them with the real truth and they're anchored they're anchored in our Father they they come home to the truth they know the truth they love the truth and they live for that truth that's that's what it's good for okay Cameron from Maine he's 12 years old when when we go to heaven after the seventh Trump's ounds how old will we be what if you're a baby and if you don't age how will you be happy if you don't get to be older them but can't well in the spiritual body we're all the same age okay and that's that's the way it is Camryn and in the spiritual body there's no such thing as age because we're going to live for an eternity if you overcome and it just eons that's to say time has no effect whatsoever on the spiritual body it doesn't age it doesn't wrinkle it doesn't get old it doesn't get sick and that is to say physically spiritually until after Judgment is possible very spiritual illness because not everybody's going to make it some are not going to take those that do not take part in the first resurrection if they miss the second resurrection that's at the end of the millennium they're going to hell so and then after that everything will be on smooth level plane what a fantastic time but we're all the same age in the spiritual bodies Marvin from California in Genesis chapter 1 where can I find to verify became without form instead of was without form thank you well your your companion Bible will help you tremendously on that but how about just letting the scripture do it god never created anything without form or may I say it in the Hebrew too who Bob wah he just didn't do that okay and you can read in Isaiah chapter 45 verse 18 that God did not create this earth void he created it to be inhabited okay and then when Satan fell then it became void at the cata bowl the overthrow of Satan so again Isaiah chapter 45 verse 18 will document from with scripture itself that God did not create this earth void that it became that way okay samuel from texas god knows everything right if so if god knows everything he had to know before exactly what flesh people would do when given free will you know you don't understand what you're saying God does not know what somebody will do he will not interfere I'll put it that way in case it might offend you God does not interfere with someone with freewill if somebody with freewill chooses to go to hell they're going I might remind you of 2nd Peter chapter 3 along about verse 8 or 9 were says God is long-suffering I mean he's got lots of patience and it is his will or hope that all come to repentance but they won't if God do you see it hinges on this if God what does God want from men love you God can't force love he can't demand love and if God knew who would love him and who would not ultimately we wouldn't even have had the Second Earth age we would have gone instantly into the eternity and he would have was destroyed all those that couldn't make it but God loves his children and he gave each of them an opportunity to love him but you can't force loved you can't buy love and you can't order love love must generate within each entity this is why God would say let us create man in our image our plural meaning as we were there so we are in the flesh born innocent of woman to decide which we're going to follow so no God knows has a plan and it will go as he has planned but he does not know how many will be loyal to him but that's what this time of trial is about to find out who will and who won't we're going to destroy those that won't and then we'll be back to gate one again Joseph from South Carolina my wife was married before she married meme but her firt buyer her first husband died I would like to know when we go to heaven and I know we will will she remember her first husband or will she just remember that one she was married at the time she leaves her fat haven't you ever read Luke chapter 20 verse 32 or 5 which is it somewhere along there it's in heaven there is no such thing as marriage okay so she will know both of you busy what was Angel's do not marry okay we're all married to the Lord Jesus Christ it has nothing to do with that so you need to you need to read Luke chapter chapter 20 I believe it's verse 35 it'll help you out okay read it real good but you're you're concerned about something that doesn't amount to a hill of beans but it's wonderful that you love each other that you know your heaven-bound and you'll be fine there and so will our first husband Tim from Florida we're in the Old Testament if you steal from a neighbor you have to pay double well it's according to where you were there let's just say Exodus 22 Exodus chapter 22 kind of gives you the laws concerning stealing but I want you to remember something in this day and time we do have forgiveness and when you go to a neighbor and communicate with him sometimes you can work things out better than five times or four times or double okay and but and forgiveness if the Lord just forgives you then get your act together and don't do that it's not right okay and things will be fine okay so if we live in the New Testament and naturally the New Testament changed no law but we Anna from Arizona mama my mom and I were talking about something on the Bible where if a person is lazy you are not supposed to feed them in order to for them to get up and do work now this bird we mentioned that earlier today first second Thessalonians chapter 3 verse 10 but does that mean that God won't feed his children that work at home as a housewife when she has five children total and one not at home and and two in high school well you you don't you're you're working more hours than most men do okay that is a full-time job you are working and that is work I'm sure you've experienced that by the time you do the cooking the driving back and forth taking kids to school do all the laundry helping with homework and keeping papa happy that's more than a full-time job you're you you have nothing to worry about pastor Marie I'm Michael and I'm eight years old and I live in Kentucky my nanny is writing this question for me where does God live well God says I am that I am in other words he's wherever he wishes to be and whatever he wants to be and God is a God of love so sometimes when you love him he loves you and if you have his spirit within you he dwells within you and he's however if he when he sent Jesus to this earth his only begotten Jesus would say if you've seen me you've seen the father why because God said let us create man in our image and Christ was in the very image of Almighty God I mean he was a manual God with us so we you can kind of tell from that he's in the hearts of those that love him but he is returning to this earth in person and dujour which is a term that means rightfully his and he's returning and he will be with us he he lives in heaven he will establish heaven here on earth in Jerusalem his favorite spot in the universe and that will be his eternal home then okay Pat from Wisconsin would you please tell me what the arm represents is it strength well it is strength but also if it's upraised it's praise okay so the arm can mean it's according to what the sign is what it's doing is what it represents but it is strength and it holds the armor what does the hand represent it means doing the work of this is why those that receive a mark of the beast in their hand means they're doing the work of Satan preaching foreing planting seeds for in play in church for him and I'm glad you enjoy studying with us Patricia from Wisconsin this I guess this is the same person if if all angels appear to be about 33 years old how will we know our parents or grandparents if we have never seen a photo of them at that age where you will know them okay well how do I know you'll know them because Ezekiel chapter 44 verses 20 through 25 state that you will its family you'll know them Jay Dean eight years old it's good to have all you young people studying with us and taking an interest in God's Word I love you for that and most of all God loves you for it pastor Marie I'm 8 years old can you tell me how old Jesus is I really like your Bible study my name is Jayden and I'm from Tennessee well it's good to have you with us Jayden Christ was in the he is now in the spiritual body I should say the transfigured body and he was about 33 years old a very young man and that is the appearance of God and He will appear that way when he returns and as I stated earlier were all the same age in the spiritual body there is no note age means nothing and in the spiritual body and that's why God can say quite comfortably there's nothing new Under the Sun okay and so it is okay and we go with Connie from Michigan pastor Marie I've heard you speaking about the believer having authority over the enemy Satan his power would you please give Scripture and explain how that is accomplished please explain like sickness and governmental oppression fear depression and so forth how does one overcome by the blood of the Lamb of the Lord in for our testimony Luke 10:18 okay but you've got to be a believer or for that to come to pass now at the same time when you bring diseases into it sicknesses we pollute ourselves if you were to live if as best you could in an environment that God created without suit poisons and everything else chances are even disease could be controlled but we live in a polluted world and and the very air we believe we breathe is polluted with with carbon dioxide many other poisons from the air and so forth and that makes us sick but as for is our power over evil spirits it's absolute as a pastor take it from me I guarantee it's absolute in his name we have power over Satan and all of his fallen angels or evil spirits it is written and that authority was given in Luke 10:18 and a bold Christian does not hesitate to exercise that power in his name you can't do anything but in his name he'll do it for you and he guarantees it and and that is his guarantee I for one know what I'm talking about but as for when you include disease in that he can heal there was there was a hundred people down at the lake the spring that day how many of them did Jesus heal one only one Ron from Pennsylvania my question is this you refer to the Tribulation Period is five months where does the Bible speak of this time period Revelation chapter 9 it even gives you the actual time of the locust which is a five-month period from May through September and that's the tribulation though of Antichrist is the tribulation of God won't last 15 minutes he gets it done quickly but Satan's tribulation goes for a five months period revelation 9 and good to hear from you I'm glad to see that you are an old pup like me as you state there have been been there done that okay Mary from South Carolina please give me the answer in Hebrews two chapters to the seventh chapter where it says Melchizedek was never born and had no father and mother and verse three also said his name meant justice please explain milk has a deck Nilka in the Hebrew tongue means King and Zadok means God's elect or the just or the righteous it means king of the righteous now who was Melchizedek how many kings of Kings are there in Lord of lords to a Christian there's only one and that one is the Lord Jesus Christ it is it is Almighty God in this dimension whereby we can see him and so it is if you keep reading there in that seventh chapter of Hebrews it tells you that he's the son of God okay and you got no problem I'm out of time hey you know what I love you all because you enjoy studying God's Word chapter by chapter verse by verse most of all God loves you for it do you know something it makes his day when you
