Has anyone received the Spirit Ezekiel is talking about? Or am I the only one? :amen:


Ezek 37:21 "And say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land;
Ezek 37:22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king for all of them; and they will no longer be two nations, and they will no longer be divided into two kingdoms.
Ezek 36:24 "For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands, and bring you into your own land.

Ezek 36:25 "Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.
Ezek 36:26 "Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new SPIRIT within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
Ezek 36:27 "And I will put My SPIRIT within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.

ezekiel 37:13 "Then you shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 "I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken [it] and performed [it,"] says the LORD.' "

uh, that prophesy is about Israel...

...Being restored into ONE nation>gathered into their land>and given a new spirit.

I believe it's yet future... Joel 2 was fulfilled, which has nothing to do with this. :)

Just to clarify:
Micro-Evolution is an observed fact...



Macro-Evolution is an unproven myth...
(Gen 1:11 KJV) And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

(Gen 1:12 KJV) And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
(Gen 1:21 KJV) And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
(Gen 1:24 KJV) And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
(Gen 1:25 KJV) And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Sure but just to clarify that most thiestic evolutionists believe that sincine the scientific record/evidence disputes Genesis then therefore that means our understanding and or interpretation of the scripture is flawed. They believe the scientific/geologic record is just as important a book written by God as the scriptures are. I'm sorry for bringing this up again but I couldn't resist.

I do believe that macro evolution hasn't been proven yet but I don't fear it if it is. My beliefs about how the ancient Hebrew was written and how it was to be understood will be able to support such facts if proven.

Hi

the Bible is not about that it is about something far more important.

Science and knowledge are an illusion ...............well illusion isn't the right word but they are Relative..............relative to your point of observation....................thereby inherently flawed.

Because the only way for you to KNOW FOR SURE is to live in total reality and no one does that we all live in a sub reality.............from this sub reality everything viewed is skewed it is like looking at a fish in water nothing is what it appears to be the fish looks bigger and is not where it appears to be.

How life evolved is of no importance the fact is it is here……………………what YOUR PURPOSE in this life should be is crystal clear and recorded in the Bible…………………………NOWHERE ELSE will you find these answers

When you are resurrected and changed I am sure it will all be crystal clear.

Hi Paul,
That Ezekiel prophecy I thought was for all those in Christ with the Holy SPirit.Ezekiel said the spirit would be poured out, if that was not at penetecost, I would say that propehcy was false and just throw the bible away. I assume The Holy Spirit is what gathers all people who are in Christ together.
Why would God pour out His spirit twice? I didn't read anything in the NT on that.
Anyway, according to my read on revelation, if the "2 witnesses" are killed in the same Great City that is being destroyed , what city could revelation being describing, just using this and not even spiritualizing it. I am of course after the Truth in the bible. I don't know how I have viewed this, as it just comes up when I am reading the bible.
Anyway, how do you view this brother?

Isaiah 1:9 </I>Unless the LORD of hosts Had left to us a very small remnant, We would have become like Sodom, We would have been made like Gomorrah. 10 Hear the word of the LORD, You rulers of Sodom; Give ear to the law of our God, You people of Gomorrah:

If Jerusalem could be called spiritual Sodom and Gomorrah, why couldn't it be called "spiritual babylon"?

reve 11:8 And their dead bodies [will lie] in the street of the great city [reve 18:10] which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.11

Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.

Who are the 2 witnesses representing and what Mystery of God is finished after they ascend?

reve 20:4 And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This [is] the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy [is] he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

reve 18:18 "and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What [is] like this great city?' 19 "They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.'

1 corin 2:13 These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know [them,] because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is [rightly] judged by no one. 16 For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

I think He might be doing it now, because if He could do it to a complete degenerate like me, He has to be doing it all over. He is in control and I intend to be His "helper":amen:
But there are a lot of people here in our own backyard that I am trying to reach also.
The bible is such a fascinating book Nana. It was either written by God, or super intelligent aliens from another planet!!!
God bless.

1 corin 2:9 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him." 10 But God has revealed [them] to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

Ok but we still have a difference. Verse 19 says that "the cities of the nations fell" this tells me that when this great Babylon falls so will other cities around the world. Now in Rev 18 we are told that when Babylon the great falls the kings of the earths well as the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her demise.

In Rev. 16 we see a whole worldwide catastrophy but in Rev. 18 we see only a local catastrophy concerning Babylon the great and that's why I view these as separate places and events.


nephilimiyr said:
Let me ask you, since in Rev. 16 the idea is of a worldwide catastrophy why would anyone around the world weep over America when the same things are happening to them?
I just read chpt 16 again, and then went to chpt 17:1. These are the same angels still pouring out the vials from chpt 16, so this is in the same time frame. Makes you wonder if 16,17,& 18 aren't different Babylons. I DO believe that 18 is the US. I have heard some people say that Rev 17 is Britian or [EDIT]. Does Britian sit on many waters? I don't know much history, so I don't know if Chpt 17 would fit Britian or not. I heard that Britian was our Mother at one time, (Mother of Harlots?) and that the colonies broke away from them. I hated history, LOL. That does make sense on why they would be weeping over America when they are having their own "difficulties" LOL.

I tend to differ on that. Rev. 17:1 mearly says that one of the angels with the seven vials talked with John. The key is that it doesn't say which one did so you or I can't assume that it was the same angel that held the last vial. I have to believe that these angels didn't pour out their vials all at once since the story shows that they are done one by one.

Nephilim is the Hebrew word used as giants in the English in Genesis 6:4 and Numbers 13:33, in the Hebrew it means "fallen ones". I and yes many believe that these fallen ones were the progeny of fallen angels and human women. Some believe that these nephilim are present today and explain the ufo phenomenon and alien abduction.

Hummmm. Makes me wonder though since the angel with the 7 viles comes over and talks to John. It sounds to me like this process of the great city in 16, and the harlot in 17 are going on at about the same time period, or fairly close together. Another angel comes down from heaven in 18, so that could be much later. Isn't Rev fun, LOL?

What is even stranger, is that here the vials appear to still be full!!!! Is this translation right? I had to look at it twice, but the fact it even said "filled" is odd.
Some had "had" and some have "having". So I don't really know. Nana, it is a lot of fun and exciting.:amen:
Revelation is really so out of order, and changes symbolism so much, it is like a hugh devine jigsaw puzzle. No wonder it was almost not accepted in the canon!:o

(Young) Revelation 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven messengers, who have the seven vials that are full of the seven last plagues, and he spake with me, saying, `Come, I will shew thee the bride of the Lamb--the wife,'

(NKJV) Revelation 21:9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, "Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife."

Reve 19: 7 "Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.

Book of Enoch wasn't accepted either, but it about appears to be devine to me in some ways. Only read thru it once though.I got this from it a long time ago. Pretty interesting. Has anyone read it yet?

Enoch 931 I was born the seventh in the first week, While judgement and righteousness still endured. 4 And after me there shall arise in the second weekgreat wickedness, And deceit shall have sprung up; And in it there shall be the first end. And in it a man shall be saved; And after it is ended unrighteousness shall grow up, And a law shall be made for the sinners. 5 And after that in the third week at its close A man shall be elected as the plant of righteous judgement, And his posterity shall become the plant of righteousness for evermore. 6 And after that in the fourth week, at its close, Visions of the holy and righteous shall be seen, And a law for all generations and an enclosure shall be made for them. 7 And after that in the fifth week, at its close, The house of glory and dominion shall be built for ever. 8 And after that in the sixth week all who live in it shall be blinded, And the hearts of all of them shall godlessly forsake wisdom. And in it a man shall ascend; And at its close the house of dominion shall be burnt with fire, And the whole race of the chosen root shall be dispersed. And after that in the seventh week shall an apostate generation arise, And many shall be its deeds, And all its deeds shall be apostate. 10 And at its close shall be elected The elect righteous of the eternal, plant of righteousness, To receive sevenfold instruction concerning all His creation.12 And after that there shall be another, the eighth week, that of righteousness, And a sword shall be given to it that a righteous judgement may be executed on the oppressors, And sinners shall be delivered into the hands of the righteous. 13 And at its close they shall acquire houses through their righteousness, And a house shall be built for the Great King in glory for evermore, 14d And all mankind shall look to the path of uprightness.
