And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass. And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there.
The rose (rosa) remains one of the most popular garden flowers,There are thousands of varieties from which to choose, it seems as if a rose bush is suitable for all flowerbeds, borders and trellises. One common mistake most people make when growing rose bushes is overwatering.
Love for it’s beauty and for its fragrance and vast variety of colors and species that can thrive.
A rose can only lose her peddles when · It's natural beauty has been alter or overly expose.
The petals fall off your roses when blossoms die away at the end of a bloom period. Yet if you discover your roses are continually dropping petals before the flower has completely bloomed or soon afterward, it can indicate a problem.
Petals might be falling off your roses due to ... insufficiency high pH levels in the soil if the soul has , low iron or lack of oxygen due to overwatering or poorly drained
Roses require deep irrigation twice per week, and overwatering can cause problems.
Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 and above.
Roses need proper irrigation and good drainage to grow, but overwatering and poor drainage can result in a lack of oxygen for them and yellowing of their leaves. f rose bushes are in an area that does not have good soil drainage, consider building a raised bed for them. The raised bed can be about two feet above ground level and have a good rose soil mix of one part sand, three parts peat moss or manure and three parts loamy soil.
To determine a watering schedule, wait until the roses droop, water heavily, mark the date and allow the roses to droop again before watering. Once the roses droop, you have gone one day too long without watering them. Improving soil aeration or drainage may mean moving your rose bushes. The best time to move them is during their dormant period, winter. In the meantime, use a manual lawn aerator to create pathways to their roots. As a general rule, it makes sense to cut off a dead rose (Rosa) after it finishes blooming, a process called deadheading. But whether or not you should deadhead depends on the type of rose you're growing and the time of year. This genus, which is made up of a variety of different species and hybrids, offers a rose to grow in every area of the U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones, from 1 through 13.

The Word of the Lord came to me saying, God does not view nor does He see’s us as men view us. This works had lead humans to reconsider what they have done.
It is to encourage them to accept the fact that they have been deceived and not done what is right, and are indeed to repent.?
John the Baptist still cries out REPENT REPENT,
Forgetting the obedience to the cross and the mandate to go yet therefore making disciples of men.
Whether conscious or subconscious, every person has sin in this lifetime. We were born in sin shaped in iniquity. If any man says He has not to sin He is a loser.

For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it first begins with us, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?
(1Peter 4:17, HBFV throughout unless stated)To be more specific, what is the kind of assessment that begins with the household of God? Does verse 17 of 1Peter 4 refer to the sufferings and trials Christians have in this life or to a yet future judgment day of reckoning (cf. Revelation 20:11 - 15)?
Someone with a biblical worldview believes his primary reason for existence is to love and serve God. some type of view of what a Christian should be. Our philosophy reacts to the science of our theology.
Every anthropology to economics, law, politics, art and social view point all leads to the order of God whose lives in everything and is seen everywhere.
The level of pain experienced in the day of the Lord's wrath must be greater than mankind's determination to do evil in order to get his attention and have him repent.
Why is a day of the Lord needed? Why does God inflict multiple punishments on Our world in bondage to Satan's authoritarian and violent rule? The answer is simple.
Will there be a Judgment Day for angels like the one God will carry out for humans? Who will do the judging? Where will it occur? What will be determined on this day? Will all the angels have to answer for their behavior?
The apostle Paul makes a tantalizingly brief statement regarding the judgment of angels in one of his books. Disagreements inside the Corinthian church were not being handled correctly. Instead of members working out their differences between themselves
Matthew 18:15 - 17), they were trying to resolve their issues by dragging each other before non-Christian courts (1Corinthians 6:1)! Paul mentions angels as part of his criticism and judgment of the church's behavior. Paul first argues that Christians should be capable of handling disagreements by themselves since they will someday be granted judgment of the entire world (1Corinthians 6:2).
He further extends his argument by stating, "Don't you (the Corinthians) know that we (Christians who are in the first resurrection) shall judge angels? How much more then the things of this life?" (verse 3, HBFV).
When will the Judgment Day come? Are Christians judged at a different time than non-believers?
According to the first book of Peter, a type of the judgment day has already begun for Christians during this life. It is long before the day of
Jesus then reveals to Nicodemus one of the main characteristics of being "born of the Spirit."The wind blows where it wills, and you hear its sound, but you do not know the place from which it comes and the area to which it goes; so also is everyone who has been born of the Spirit (John 3:8).
Jesus and I think she has done throughout this conversation (and other times) use something that is known (wind) to explain that which is not. Like wind, those who are changed into spirit will be able to travel undetected by humans. They will exist in a realm invisible to the naked eye. This means that being born again cannot be referring to an event that takes place when a person is alive! It occurs when a person is dead and enables them to enter God's Kingdom (John 3:3, 5, 7).
Christians are born again or "born of the Spirit" at the resurrection of the dead. At the first resurrection the righteous, who have died and lie in their graves, will be brought back to life. They will be given spiritual bodies and will receive the gift of immortality (Luke 20:34 - 36, 1Thessalonians 4:16 - 17, 1Corinthians 15:51 - 55). It is only then that they will have meet all the requirements to enter their reward in the Kingdom.

The scribes, who were also Jews, also sought to have him killed (Mark 11:27) and, along with the chief priests, challenged Christ's authority several times before his crucifixion (Matthew 21:23, Luke 20:1 - 2). It is easy to wonder how such people who reject the Lord as Messiah will make it to heaven.
Your question regarding the Jews, however, begs yet another interesting inquiry which is whether they believe heaven is their ultimate destination after they die. A 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia article states that they believe it is the location where God resides, but makes no mention of heaven being populated (either now or in the future) by those rewarded for their obedience. Instead, their understanding is that after the house of Israel is resurrected (Ezekiel 37) the destiny for Jews is with the Messiah in an earth-based kingdom.
When will Jesus return to earth?
Does purgatory exist?
How many resurrections are there?
For some sects of the Jews, any debate regarding how they will get to heaven after they perish is a mute issue. This is because they do not believe in a resurrection of the dead. The Sadducees, in Jesus' day, were a group of priests who operated Jerusalem's temple. It was widely known that they believed and taught that there was no resurrection (Mark 12:18 - 27, see also Acts 23:6 - 8), a point of contention between them and the Pharisees.
The Bible, interestingly, refers to three distinct locations as heaven (2Corinthians 12:2, read also our article on the subject). This study, however, will focus on the place believed to be the reward of Christians and its relationship to the earth.
Heaven, at the present time, exists in a spiritual dimension that is completely separate from the earth and the physical universe. Its linkage to God is undeniable. It is not only the place where he dwells (1Kings 8:30, Matthew 6:9) it is also where his throne, which represents his authority and power over all things, is located (Isaiah 66:1, Matthew 5:34, 23:22).
Heaven is also the place where angels interact with God and receive instructions from him. The patriarch Jacob, in a dream, saw angels traveling back and forth from the earth to God's heavenly presence (Genesis 28:12 - 17). Heaven is the place where demons, including the devil, go to interact with the Eternal (Revelation 12:7 - 10).
Are those in the first resurrection of the dead, set to occur in the near future, taken to heaven? The surprising Biblical answer is NO! They are brought back to life, given new spiritual bodies, and meet Jesus in the air as he returns to earth to rule as King of Kings (1Thessalonians 4:16 - 17).
Where, you might wonder, does God's throne exist? The Lord's throne cannot be in the FIRST place mentioned above (the sky) since God does not yet dwell with mankind. Could it be in the second, what we call space? Job 22 sheds a little more light on the subject when he writes "Is not God in the height of heaven? And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!" (Job 22:12).
This suggests an additional domain that is even higher than the stars. It is the Apostle Paul who reveals and confirms the existence of a spiritual realm. Paul, speaking indirectly about what occurred to him, states that somehow, someway, he was transported to a THIRD spiritual realm (2Corinthians 12:2 - 4) where he heard things he could not repeat to others!
Note that Paul is not stating there are levels of heaven but rather that he was taken to the third of a sequence of three (logically implying that a first and second domains exist). In review, God tells us in His word that He indeed made three separate and distinct heavenly places.
- The atmosphere (sky) that surrounds the earth
- The Universe or what we call Space
- The place where His throne is located
The concept that the Bible teaches there are levels of heaven highly likely originated with the Middle Ages' poem entitled "Divine Comedy" by Dante (written somewhere between 1308 - 1321). This writing describes, in graphic detail, his supposed "travels" through the realms of Purgatory, Hell and others, each of which is comprised of nine parts or sections.
The Bible records that all the angels, long before Lucifer turned himself into the devil, witnessed the limitless power of God when he willed the universe into existence (Job 38:4 - 7). This singular act not only made possible what we refer to as space and time, but also created all the mass and energy contained within it. When the angels saw this expression of God's omnipotence they sang praises and shouted for joy!
When Lucifer rejected the truth, and turned himself into the devil, his thinking became warped but not totally detached from reality. He clearly understood that God made possible not only the lives of all the angelic spirits but also gave them their abilities and powers (Colossians 1:16). The devil also knew his own authority and power, though great, was still limited.
It therefore seems incredibly unlikely that the devil foolishly thought he and the demons who followed him had the combined power to unilaterally attack and conquer their Maker. There was something, however, related to his early experiences with God which would lead him to take the audacious move to elevate his throne above all others (Isaiah 14:13).
Lucifer was blessed, right after his creation, with the unique privilege of being next to God's throne as a covering cherub (Ezekiel 28:14). He saw firsthand how he exercised perfect love. He continually witnessed his incredible generosity, mercifulness, gentleness, meekness and humility.
Lucifer, before becoming the devil, understood God's selfless dedication to enhancing the existence of all others and to maintaining the greatest relationship possible with each of them. As a cherub, he upheld his Creator's way as the one and only path to the greatest existence anyone could experience.
A radical change
Lucifer's views on everything changed when he filled himself with vanity, sinned, and turned himself into the devil (Ezekiel 28:17). His exalted view of himself led him to create a unique, and diametrically opposite, way of thinking than what God had originally given him. The new philosophy of life the devil adopted flipped his dedication to selfless love into a hardcore fixation on loving himsel
The Bible reveals that the devil filled his heart with violence (Ezekiel 28:16). This led him to conclude that God's way of love, which he had saw firsthand, was his greatest weakness. He felt certain that if an attack was launched that the Eternal's selfless character would cause him to forego using his power to defend himself. Instead of exercising his authority, Satan surmised, God would meekly surrender his throne in order to avoid a conflict.
The devil and his risky stealth attack on the throne of God failed miserably (Isaiah 14:15 - 19). His understanding of perfect love proved to be fatally flawed. The Eternal ultimately used his omnipotent power to eject both Satan and his demonic army out of heaven with the speed of a lightning strike (Luke 10:18)!
ANSWER: Several times in the Bible Jesus is referenced as sitting at the Father's right hand in heaven (Psalm 110:1, 5, Mark 16:19, Luke 22:69, Matthew 26:64, Acts 2:33, 7:55 and so on). Before, however, we delve into the question of who sits to the left of God we should answer why residing on his right is so important.
Biblically, the right hand symbolizes authority, power, and strength (Genesis 48:14 - 19, Exodus 15:6, Isaiah 23:11, 41:10, 45:1, Revelation 1:16 - 17, etc.). Various studies have shown that at least 70%, and possibly as high as 95%, of all people are right-handed (which means it is stronger than the left one).
Sitting at a person's right side was considered a place of honor. When a newly crowned King Solomon wished to give his mother the highest honor he could he placed her next to him (1Kings 2:19).
In modern English, we sometimes say that someone is the "right-hand man" of a particular boss or leader. What we mean is that the person has a position of authority that is at least partially derived from the authority of his or her boss or leader. Christ, after his resurrection, stated that God the Father had given him "all authority in heaven and on earth" (Matthew 28:18).
In direct answer to your inquiry, the Bible reveals that currently no one is sitting to the left of God. In 32 A.D., just before Stephen became the first Christian martyr, he was granted a rare vision of the very throne room in heaven.
But he (Stephen), being filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God (Acts 7:55).
Stephen did not see anyone sitting or standing to the left of the Eternal. He certainly did not see the Holy Spirit anywhere near the throne, which one would expect if it really were a person in the Godhead and if the doctrine of the Trinity were true (see our article on the Trinity for more info).
Concerning Satan, he at one time covered the Eternal's throne but did not sit next to it (Ezekiel 28:14). When he later stormed the throne of heavenwith his demonic hoards (Revelation 12:4), he was not seeking to "share" rule of the universe with anyone. He sought nothing less than to destroy both the Eternal and Christ and take complete control of everything (Isaiah 14:12 - 14)!
A mother's special request
One day the mother of James and John approached Jesus with a most unusual request.
Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Him with her sons, worshiping Him and asking a certain thing from Him. And He said to her, "What do you desire?"
She said to Him, "Grant that these my two sons may sit one at Your right hand and one at Your left hand in Your kingdom." But Jesus answered and said, "You do not know what you are asking . . . " (Matthew 20:20 - 22).
Was the request by James' and John's mother referring to positions of authority in the third heaven where the Eternal's throne resides?
If James and John flanked Jesus in heaven, whichever one sat on his left hand would separate him from the Father and put him in a position of lesser authority in the universe. This would contradict many scriptures that clearly declare his supremacy of power and rule under the Father (see Matthew 28:18, etc.).
The motherly request was almost certainly referring to the kingdom Jesus would set up on earth to rule humans (often referred to as the Millennium). After all, he did promise the disciples they would sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel (Matthew 19:28, Luke 22:30).
Part of the problem is that those who followed Christ expected his kingdom to be set up during their lifetimes and not in the distant future after their deaths (Acts 1:6).
In conclusion, the Bible reveals that no one sits on God's left hand. This situation is likely to continue into the ages yet to come (see Revelation 22:3).
We are a threat to the devil and it’s his job to kill Christians. We believe that all we have to go is accept Jesus and on that note we are save.
We must confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour of the world and He alone die for your sins.
Believe first that is the note we are saved. If you believe in something it shall change you will change not only your mindset but your viewpoint of life.
Since we are not if this world each time our foot hits earth dirt we are an endangered spirces.

A biblical worldview is based on the infallible Word of God.
When you believe the Bible is entirely true, then you allow it to be the foundation of everything you say and do.
When does this first resurrection take place? It occurs when the "last trumpet" sounds. This trumpet is the last of seven to be prophetically blown (see Revelation 8:1 - 9:21; 11:15 - 18). Paul discusses this trumpet when he states, " . . . but when the last trumpet sounds, we shall all be changed in an instant . . . the dead will be raised" (1Corinthians 15:51 - 52, see also 1Thessalonians 4:16 - 17).
As Jesus Christ returns to earth "with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. . . ." the dead who have been faithful will be the first to experience a resurrection. Those still living at the time of the second coming are "caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air" (1Thessalonians 4:16 - 17).
According to Matthew, as Jesus comes with the "clouds of heaven," He will send angels with the mighty sound of a great trumpet to gather his converted servants (most of whom will be dead) from the entire earth (Matthew 24:30 - 31).
After meeting Christ in the atmosphere above the earth, the Saints will descend to the earth and land east of Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:4 - 5, see also Revelation 20).
Why is it needed?
Why is a day of the Lord needed? Why does God inflict multiple punishments on a world in bondage to Satan's authoritarian and violent rule? The answer is simple. It is to lead humans to reconsider what they have done. It is to encourage them to accept the fact that they have been deceived and not done what is right, and repent!
The level of pain experienced in the day of the Lord's wrath must be greater than mankind's determination to do evil in order to get his attention and have him repent. God's perfect love motivates him to do this because he wants as few as possible to suffer the same chaotic existence and ultimate fate of the devil.
Will there be a Judgment Day for angels like the one God will carry out for humans? Who will do the judging? Where will it occur? What will be determined on this day? Will all the angels have to answer for their behavior?
The apostle Paul makes a tantalizingly brief statement regarding the judgment of angels in one of his books. Disagreements inside the Corinthian church were not being handled correctly. Instead of members working out their differences between themselves (see Matthew 18:15 - 17), they were trying to resolve their issues by dragging each other before non-Christian courts (1Corinthians 6:1)! Paul mentions angels as part of his criticism and judgment of the church's behavior.
Paul first argues that Christians should be capable of handling disagreements by themselves since they will someday be granted judgment of the entire world (1Corinthians 6:2). He further extends his argument by stating, "Don't you (the Corinthians) know that we (Christians who are in the first resurrection) shall judge angels? How much more then the things of this life?" (verse 3, HBFV).
When will the Judgment Day come? Are Christians judged at a different time than non-believers?
According to the first book of Peter, a type of the judgment day has already begun for Christians during this life. It is long before the day of
Jesus’ Second Coming and the resurrection of the dead.
For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it first begins with us, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? (1Peter 4:17, HBFV throughout unless stated)To be more specific, what is the kind of assessment that begins with the household of God? Does verse 17 of 1Peter 4 refer to the sufferings and trials Christians have in this life or to a yet future judgment day of reckoning (cf. Revelation 20:11 - 15)?
That means, for instance, you take seriously the mandate in Romans 13 to honor the governing authorities by researching the candidates and issues, making voting a priority.
God inhabits the praises of His people,
The devil wants to keep us wondering.
We are a threat to the devil this is why his desire is yo kill Gods people and keep th living in ihnorsncr.
Hosea 4:5 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
It’s not that God does not trust His children, He does not trust the enemy who Over and over again cause Gods children through times and times to be in a state of disobedience.
Many are in part present and future disobedience. many of Gods wanted to remove his hand but because of his unconditional love His hand remains to guild us in a loving wsy💕.
His hand will not strike us like He did in the past. He said there would never destroy the world by flood again and God covenant appears in the sky like ribbon in the sky to remind us of the love of God.

The agreeable sensations which spring from the enjoyment of good; that state of a being in which his desires are gratified, by the enjoyment of pleasure without pain; felicity; but happiness usually expresses less than felicity, and felicity less than bliss. Happiness is comparative.

pleasure pleasure
PLEASURE, n. plezh'ur.
The gratification of the senses or of the mind; agreeable sensations or emotions; the excitement, relish or happiness produced by enjoyment or the expectation of good; opposed to pain. We receive pleasure from the indulgence of appetite; from the view of a beautiful landscape; from the harmony of sounds; from agreeable society; from the expectation of seeing an absent friend; from the prospect of gain or success of any kind. Pleasure, bodily and mental, carnal and spiritual, constitutes the whole of positive happiness, as pain constitutes the whole of misery.
Pleasure is properly positive excitement of the passions or the mind; but we give the name also to the absence of excitement, when that excitement is painful; as when we cease to labor, or repose after fatigue, or when the mind is tranquilized after anxiety or agitation.
Pleasure is susceptible of increase to any degree; but the word when unqualified, expresses less excitement or happiness than delight or joy.

rapture
What is the rapture? Where, in the Bible, is it discussed and what does it mean?
Surprisingly, the English word "rapture" does not occur AT ALL in the King James, New King James, NIV, or other modern translation of the Bible!
In fact, the word itself did not come into existence until around the very late 1500s A.D.
Among many Christians, especially those in certain parts of the Protestant world, the meaning of the rapture is a snatching up to heaven of true Christians who are still alive just before or during the Great Tribulation.
Jesus told his disciples, in regard to the exact time of his return to earth and the establishment of his kingdom, that "(the) day and hour no one knows - neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son - except the Father only . Matthew 24:36,
In spite of these direct statements from Jesus, there have been those throughout history who have dogmatically tried to predict the day of the rapture, or the day of Jesus' return to earth, or both. Religious leaders foolish enough to "set dates" have been embarrassed and discredited when their predicted date quietly comes and goes.
Many religious teachers teach that the rapture can only occur just before Jesus' Second Coming to reign and rule the earth for 1,000 years.
A notable example of setting dates for events like the rapture occurred with William Miller, a preacher in the Baptist church, who predicted Jesus would come back to earth sometime within a year of March 21, 1843. When March 21, 1844 arrived Miller adopted the new date of April 18 of the same year for Christ's return. When that date failed, he supported a rapture date of October 22. What is labeled "The Great Disappointment" occurred when Jesus did not arrive back on earth as predicted.
The lesson of history is that believers today need to be VERY wary of any teacher or preacher who says he or she knows the date of the rapture and Jesus' second coming.
Some also believe that such "snatching up" of saints will occur in secret to save a select few from the suffering and trials delineated in the book of Revelation.
Many believers rest their hope in what they believe is a rapture of saints based on only two Bible verses written by the Apostle Paul (1Thessalonians 4:16 - 17).
Many who believe in the rapture think they will be taken to heaven for a period until they return triumphantly with Jesus to fight those who are deceived by Satan. They will then rule the world with Christ.
The apostle Paul makes a tantalizingly brief statement regarding the judgment of angels in one of his books.
Disagreements inside the Corinthian church were not being handled correctly. Instead of members working out their differences between themselves (see Matthew 18:15 - 17), they were trying to resolve their issues by dragging each other before non-Christian courts (1Corinthians 6:1)! Paul mentions angels as part of his criticism and judgment of the church's behavior.
Paul first argues that Christians should be capable of handling disagreements by themselves since they will someday be granted judgment of the entire world (1Corinthians 6:2). He further extends his argument by stating, "Don't you (the Corinthians) know that we (Christians who are in the first resurrection) shall judge angels? How much more then the things of this life?" (verse 3, HBFV).
The Bible records that all the angels, long before Lucifer turned himself into the devil, witnessed the limitless power of God when he willed the universe into existence (Job 38:4 - 7). This singular act not only made possible what we refer to as space and time, but also created all the mass and energy contained within it. When the angels saw this expression of God's omnipotence they sang praises and shouted for joy!
When Lucifer rejected the truth, and turned himself into the devil, his thinking became warped but not totally detached from reality. He clearly understood that God made possible not only the lives of all the angelic spirits but also gave them their abilities and powers (Colossians 1:16). The devil also knew his own authority and power, though great, was still limited.
The synonymous phrase "kingdom of heaven" is recorded an additional thirty-three times in the KJV translation. Interestingly, all thirty-three occurrences are found solely in Matthew.
A short answer to your question is that the Kingdom is the rule and governance of God (the Father and Jesus Christ) over all things. The Bible speaks of it existing in the past.
Although the Kingdom of God rules the entire universe, it is not actively governing the affairs of man. The Almighty is, nevertheless, ruling in the lives of all those who have his Holy Spirit.
After a thousand years are completed, all those who never got a full chance at salvation will be resurrected to receive their opportunity to repent, live the way of righteousness, and enter into the Kingdom. God the Father will then bring his newly created New Jerusalem to the new earth and His government will rule the universe from this glorious city. The earth will literally become the center of all creation.
Those who will be allowed into the Eternal's kingdom of righteousness must receive it like a little child (Mark 10:15), be doers of his will (Matthew 7:21 - 23) and keep his Commandments (Matthew 19:16 - 17, Revelation 22:14). They must be willing to seek it (Luke 12:31), to give up all things in order to possess it (Luke 18:29 - 30) and love their fellow man (Matthew 25:31 - 46). They must also be willing to suffer and possible die for its sake (Matthew 5:10).
Who will not be there?
Who will not be allowed to enter the Kingdom of God? According to the Bible, those who will not be welcomed into eternity are those who are adulterers, who practice sorcery, are contentious, have outbursts of anger, are selfish, those who promote false doctrines, those who cause divisions among believers, murderers and more (Galatians 5:19 - 21).
Satan the devil's future and the fate of countless humans who never repented and became true Christians?
In the future, at the end of the Great Tribulation period, Jesus is prophesied to come back to the earth. He does so, in part, in order to save man from total annihilation (see our article entitled "Jesus Returns!"). His arrival, along with all the saints brought back to life during the first resurrection, will usher in what is called the Millennium. It will be a time, lasting 1,000 years, when God's Kingdom will be fully established among humans.
Jesus' future rule of the earth as King of Kings, from his capital in Jerusalem, will bring the greatest time of peace and prosperity anyone has ever experienced. People will no longer waste their time debating whether God exists, or which parts of the Bible, if any, should be used as a standard for how man should live. Everyone in the future will not only know who their Creator is, the true meaning of Scripture will be taught to all (Isaiah 1Vanity (sometimes referred to as pride in the Bible) occurs when we decide something makes us an overall better or more valuable individual than others.
The definition of lust includes far more than strongly desiring illicit sex (Matthew 5:28, Romans 1:27). It is the intense desire and demand that we have something because we decide we need it.
Vanity ultimately seeks validation in the eyes of others. For example, the devil not only wants to rule everything, but is vain enough to think he is deserving of worship (which will happen in the end time). This worship will underscore, to him, his believed superiority (Isaiah 14:13 - 14, Revelation 13:7 - 8). Lust, however, simply demands from others what we do not have.
Vanity and lust are quite similar. They both are self-absorbing and self-centered deceptions that leave little, if any, room for considering the wellbeing of others. In fact, both lust and vanity can be pursued so intensely that their negative impact on the lives of others is either minimized or not even considered.
The final trumpet blown (third woe) announces, in heaven, that God will soon send the Lord back to the earth to establish his kingdom (Revelation 11:14 - 17). It will be a time when the first resurrection of all the saints takes place (verse 18). It is also revealed, however, that the day of the Lord will not be completed until seven more "vial" plagues come upon the unrepentant (Revelation 15 - 16).

The first resurrection of the dead occurs during the time of Jesus' second coming. "The dead in Christ" or "those who sleep in Jesus," deceased Christians, are brought back to life at his return (1Thessalonians 4:16). When Jesus returns Christians will "always be with the Lord" (verse 17).
After the first resurrection He will come again to the Mount of Olives with these saints (see Acts 1:9 - 12, Zechariah 14:1 - 5). Those brought back to life will reign as Kings and Priests on earth (Revelation 20:4 - 6; 5:9 - 10, Daniel 7:13 - 14, 18, 22, 27).
The Apostle Paul stated that fornicators and those who are covetous will not enter the Kingdom of God either (Ephesians 5:5).
Toward the end of Revelation, we are also told that those who are cowards, perverts, traitors, immoral, murderers, practitioners of black magic and worship idols, and all liars will not be in the Kingdom of God. What they will be in, however, is the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8) created expressly for carrying out an eternal death penalty on all those who willfully reject salvation.
According to the first book of Peter, a type of the judgment day has already begun for Christians during this life. It is long before the day of
Jesus’ Second Coming and the resurrection of the dead.
For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it first begins with us, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? (1Peter 4:17, HBFV throughout unless stated)
Surprising to most people, the phrase 'second coming,' referring to the return of mankind's Savior to the planet earth, is NOT found anywhere in the Bible. Instead, the common Greek word parousia(Strong's Concordance #G3952), means 'presence,' is used to refer to Christ's return to earth in places such as 1Corinthians 15:23, 1Thessalonians 2:19 and 2Thessalonians 2:1.
The second coming of Christ would not be possible if he did not arrive on earth the first time. The first coming of Jesus, who lived on earth from 5 B.C. to 30 A.D., was for the purpose of living a perfect life then dying as the perfect sacrifice for sin in order that man might live forever.Right after he ascends to heaven on May 18 in 30 A.D. two angels declare that Jesus will return to earth in the same way that he left. It is this return to earth that is commonly referred to as the Second Coming.
To be more specific, what is the kind of assessment that begins with the household of God? Does verse 17 of 1Peter 4 refer to the sufferings and trials Christians have in this life or to a yet future judgment day of reckoning (cf. Revelation 20:11 - 15)?
His people who are so easily lead by, Satan who is a liar. Who have knowledge of their weaknesses. Their ignorance cause’s them yo speak those things in the atmosphere. The enemy has ears to hear what we are saying. He uses that against us.
John 4:6 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
selfish, fallen world, these ideas seductively appeal to the desires of our flesh, and we often end up incorporating them into our personal worldview. Sadly, we often do this without even knowing it.
For example, most Christians would agree with 1 Thessalonians 4:3 and other Scriptures that command us to avoid sexual immorality, but how often do Christians fall into lust or premarital and extramarital sexual sin?
Is it simply because they are weak when tempted, or did it begin much earlier, with the seductive lies from our sexualized society?
Why does a biblical worldview matter?
If we don't really believe the truth of God and live it, then our witness will be confusing and misleading. Most of us go through life not recognizing that our personal worldviews have been deeply affected by the world.
Through the media and other influences, the secularized American view of history, law, politics, science, God and man affects our thinking more than we realize.
We then are taken "captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ" (Colossians 2:8).
However, by diligently learning, applying and trusting God’s truths in every area of our lives whether it's watching a movie, communicating with our spouses, raising our children or working at the office we can begin to develop a deep comprehensive faith that will stand against the unrelenting tide of our culture's nonbiblical ideas.
If we capture and embrace more of God's worldview and trust it with unwavering faith, then we begin to make the right decisions and form the appropriate responses to questions on abortion, same- sex marriage, cloning, stem-cell research and even media choices. Because, in the end, it is our decisions and actions that reveal what we really believe.
"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2).
Romans 8:38-39 King James Version (KJV)
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. It is our sinful nature which pushes us in the directions of our fleshly appetites.
Because of our fallen nature we allow our minds to be woven by the enemy.

This is done by crossing the threads by means of a shuttle.

No one can snatch us out of Jesus’ hand" (John 10:27-28)
However, regardless of whether they really follow Jesus or not, as long as they once upon a time believed in Jesus you can be persuaded if we re not closely behind our saviour.
John 10:27-29
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand."
The promise of "I give them eternal life and they will never perish and no one will snatch them out of my hand" is made for those of verse 27:
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me"
If you are a sheep of Christ you are under this promise if you obey, you hear His voice, and you obey His word.
To be known by Him and to follow Him.
What does it mean to follow Christ? Does it mean to just, in time past, make a confession of faith and from there on one is included automatically and forever to those who follow Him?
Is really somebody who though he believed that Jesus is the Son of God, then turned back to the world living after the flesh, covered by the promise of John 10:27-29?
Does such a person really follow Christ?
Well let’s allow the Master to explain what it takes to follow Him: Luke 9:23-24 And he said to all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. Matthew 10:38
And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me."
To follow Christ we need to take up our cross and go behind Him.
Following implies moving. Following Christ is something dynamic, something that implies moving, and in fact moving behind somebody else, the Lord.
It is a daily instructions for us to pick up the pace taken up His cross daily and follow me".
The first moment of faith is on the other hand something static, something which happened at a certain point in time.
This moment put us behind Christ. Now we have to follow Him.
This moment brought us into the faith. Now we have to run with patience the race of faith to the end, looking unto Jesus the leader of our faith.
1 John 2:10-11
"Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling.
But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes."
John does not say that because we once believed we walk automatically in the light and follow Jesus forever and ever.
Following, Jesus is something to be done daily.
People who hate their brothers are walking in the darkness and they are not followers of Jesus, regardless of their once upon a time faith.
However, they are not followers of Jesus they are not of His sheep fold but of another.
His sheep hear His voice and follow Him.
We Can clearly state then and say that the promise of John 10:28: "I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.”
If it don’t apply let it fly. Those who walk in the darkness, without repenting are not of Jesus sheep fold.
You cannot serve God and no change is occur on you it’s just impossible because of the power of God, the blood of Christ, it’s no way you can be one of Gods sheep and no substantial change occurs.
The promise’s of God is for those who follow Jesus.
For people who are willing to lose their life in order to gain it. In or to gain it you must find it, in order to find it you must have the love for the Fsthrr. Yes, such people nobody can snatch out of Jesus’ hand.
For they are never in My hands if they were the devil could not be able to snatch them out.
He see’s us as the world views and see’s us easily as fleshless devices. The enemy uses our weakest fears and using them against us.
We must expect to never be accepted by the world where their are people who will never accept us.
John 8:12 Later, Jesus talked to the people again. He said, “I am the light of the world.
Whosoever follows me will never live in darkness. They will have the light that gives life.”This talks to Jesus elect only. And also tells us what we must demonstrate because we are light in a dark world.
That’s just the way it is, this world can never speak truth because the world has allow darkness to prevailed over it.
God sent His son who died not only for you and I but also for the world. It is contaminated anything in it shall die.
Therefore Jesus said I come not to condemn the world but to save it.
The power of God lives in us by the Holy Spirit. God is power. He is our power source.
It was powerful and my Spirit agree that what He preach was truth.
The devil is always trying to stop what the Lord is trying to put together.
People of this world will never comprehend this true light if they continue to draw on darkness.
They can never see things the way God see’s us. They will never understand the power of the cross. Never will they understand how God lives and breves in all things.
How the sun and the moon can stay exactly where God wanted it. How the sun rotated and cause the day to be night and night to become day.
He alone knows how the bones are created in the womb of a mother. If they hated Jesus surely they will hate you no doubt.
Christians are not view by the world because the world can not understand who God is. They just don’t get it and never will,
Our God is Spirit they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
Because we serve a God not made with man hands. He is the true and living God.
Christians will always be rejected in this world because this is not our home.
We’re passengers passing through. We are passing through to pick up passengers.
God see’s us as His children, a nation without excuse, trying to survive together as brothers and sisters.
A nation living and respecting each other., giving honor to who honor is due. This is respect.
Gods Power lives in us. God the Son gave us His Holy Spirit. We are the ark of Gods body, to show the power of God demonstrated by His Holy Spirit.
We are driven to love others like minded to our brothers and sisters.removing shackles, releasing His children out of prison In the name of Jesus, healing the sick in the name of Jesus.

Just as Jesus had to release many out of hell we have to pick up passengers that were bound to hell. Shifting them in a heavenly direction.
Just as the wind changed so shall it be for the people who were on their way to hell who once were hell bound.

We are in a war each time we step out the house we are stepping into something one else’s world. We do not belong here. This is not our home.

This is not our home., father and mother, sisters and brothers fight and kill each other each over the of a person or wrongful act, especially a crime utterly odious or wicked things, this is not our home.
Yet we are required by God to live in this world a holy life pleasing and acceptable to God. The only way we can accomplish this if we walk in the spirit and don’t forefill the last of the flesh.
When we come in Gods home we must act like we know pray up paid up and grow up. Bringing others to Christ we are all accountable to bring it.
We must bring people to.Christ before it’s too late we are accountable for our brothers and sisters the Bible quotes we are our brothers keeper our sisters keeper. And yes we are to tell them they must choose between life and death.
We are the keepers of our brothers and sisters until they turn their back on God our hands are stained with there blood yes we have to hold and encourage our brothers and sisters.
We must practice what we preach every day. We are planted in this world with purpose, this is not our home.
We are planted here to pick up passengers.
We are the peace the hope the love that was endure on the cross.
We are those spoken in the book of Joel who are able to forgive our brothers and sister action turn there wicked ways into Godly ways because we are in the last days.

We must take a great victory or achievement." to a different a garden built to celebrate Napoleon's many triumphs"1. Among the ancient Romans, a pompous ceremony performed in honor of a victorious general, who was allowed to enter the city crowned, formerly with laurel, but in later times with gold, bearing a truncheon in one hand and a branch of tree in the other, riding in a chariot drawn by two white horses, and followed by the kings, princes and generals whom he had vanquished, loaded with chains and insulted by mimics and buffoons. The triumph was of two kinds, the higher and the less. The minor achievement was granted for a victory over enemies of less considerable power, and was called an ovation.

For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it first begins with us, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?
(1Peter 4:17, HBFV throughout unless stated)To be more specific, what is the kind of assessment that begins with the household of God? Does verse 17 of 1Peter 4 refer to the sufferings and trials Christians have in this life or to a yet future judgment day of reckoning (cf. Revelation 20:11 - 15)?
Someone with a biblical worldview believes his primary reason for existence is to love and serve God. some type of view of what a Christian should be. Our philosophy reacts to the science of our theology.
Every anthropology to economics, law, politics, art and social view point all leads to the order of God whose lives in everything and is seen everywhere.
The level of pain experienced in the day of the Lord's wrath must be greater than mankind's determination to do evil in order to get his attention and have him repent.
Why is a day of the Lord needed? Why does God inflict multiple punishments on Our world in bondage to Satan's authoritarian and violent rule? The answer is simple.
Will there be a Judgment Day for angels like the one God will carry out for humans? Who will do the judging? Where will it occur? What will be determined on this day? Will all the angels have to answer for their behavior?
The apostle Paul makes a tantalizingly brief statement regarding the judgment of angels in one of his books. Disagreements inside the Corinthian church were not being handled correctly. Instead of members working out their differences between themselves
Matthew 18:15 - 17), they were trying to resolve their issues by dragging each other before non-Christian courts (1Corinthians 6:1)! Paul mentions angels as part of his criticism and judgment of the church's behavior. Paul first argues that Christians should be capable of handling disagreements by themselves since they will someday be granted judgment of the entire world (1Corinthians 6:2).
He further extends his argument by stating, "Don't you (the Corinthians) know that we (Christians who are in the first resurrection) shall judge angels? How much more then the things of this life?" (verse 3, HBFV).
When will the Judgment Day come? Are Christians judged at a different time than non-believers?
According to the first book of Peter, a type of the judgment day has already begun for Christians during this life. It is long before the day of
Jesus then reveals to Nicodemus one of the main characteristics of being "born of the Spirit."The wind blows where it wills, and you hear its sound, but you do not know the place from which it comes and the area to which it goes; so also is everyone who has been born of the Spirit (John 3:8).
Jesus and I think she has done throughout this conversation (and other times) use something that is known (wind) to explain that which is not. Like wind, those who are changed into spirit will be able to travel undetected by humans. They will exist in a realm invisible to the naked eye. This means that being born again cannot be referring to an event that takes place when a person is alive! It occurs when a person is dead and enables them to enter God's Kingdom (John 3:3, 5, 7).
Christians are born again or "born of the Spirit" at the resurrection of the dead. At the first resurrection the righteous, who have died and lie in their graves, will be brought back to life. They will be given spiritual bodies and will receive the gift of immortality (Luke 20:34 - 36, 1Thessalonians 4:16 - 17, 1Corinthians 15:51 - 55). It is only then that they will have meet all the requirements to enter their reward in the Kingdom.

The scribes, who were also Jews, also sought to have him killed (Mark 11:27) and, along with the chief priests, challenged Christ's authority several times before his crucifixion (Matthew 21:23, Luke 20:1 - 2). It is easy to wonder how such people who reject the Lord as Messiah will make it to heaven.
Your question regarding the Jews, however, begs yet another interesting inquiry which is whether they believe heaven is their ultimate destination after they die. A 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia article states that they believe it is the location where God resides, but makes no mention of heaven being populated (either now or in the future) by those rewarded for their obedience. Instead, their understanding is that after the house of Israel is resurrected (Ezekiel 37) the destiny for Jews is with the Messiah in an earth-based kingdom.
When will Jesus return to earth?
Does purgatory exist?
How many resurrections are there?
For some sects of the Jews, any debate regarding how they will get to heaven after they perish is a mute issue. This is because they do not believe in a resurrection of the dead. The Sadducees, in Jesus' day, were a group of priests who operated Jerusalem's temple. It was widely known that they believed and taught that there was no resurrection (Mark 12:18 - 27, see also Acts 23:6 - 8), a point of contention between them and the Pharisees.
The Bible, interestingly, refers to three distinct locations as heaven (2Corinthians 12:2, read also our article on the subject). This study, however, will focus on the place believed to be the reward of Christians and its relationship to the earth.
Heaven, at the present time, exists in a spiritual dimension that is completely separate from the earth and the physical universe. Its linkage to God is undeniable. It is not only the place where he dwells (1Kings 8:30, Matthew 6:9) it is also where his throne, which represents his authority and power over all things, is located (Isaiah 66:1, Matthew 5:34, 23:22).
Heaven is also the place where angels interact with God and receive instructions from him. The patriarch Jacob, in a dream, saw angels traveling back and forth from the earth to God's heavenly presence (Genesis 28:12 - 17). Heaven is the place where demons, including the devil, go to interact with the Eternal (Revelation 12:7 - 10).
Are those in the first resurrection of the dead, set to occur in the near future, taken to heaven? The surprising Biblical answer is NO! They are brought back to life, given new spiritual bodies, and meet Jesus in the air as he returns to earth to rule as King of Kings (1Thessalonians 4:16 - 17).
Where, you might wonder, does God's throne exist? The Lord's throne cannot be in the FIRST place mentioned above (the sky) since God does not yet dwell with mankind. Could it be in the second, what we call space? Job 22 sheds a little more light on the subject when he writes "Is not God in the height of heaven? And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!" (Job 22:12).
This suggests an additional domain that is even higher than the stars. It is the Apostle Paul who reveals and confirms the existence of a spiritual realm. Paul, speaking indirectly about what occurred to him, states that somehow, someway, he was transported to a THIRD spiritual realm (2Corinthians 12:2 - 4) where he heard things he could not repeat to others!
Note that Paul is not stating there are levels of heaven but rather that he was taken to the third of a sequence of three (logically implying that a first and second domains exist). In review, God tells us in His word that He indeed made three separate and distinct heavenly places.
- The atmosphere (sky) that surrounds the earth
- The Universe or what we call Space
- The place where His throne is located
The concept that the Bible teaches there are levels of heaven highly likely originated with the Middle Ages' poem entitled "Divine Comedy" by Dante (written somewhere between 1308 - 1321). This writing describes, in graphic detail, his supposed "travels" through the realms of Purgatory, Hell and others, each of which is comprised of nine parts or sections.
The Bible records that all the angels, long before Lucifer turned himself into the devil, witnessed the limitless power of God when he willed the universe into existence (Job 38:4 - 7). This singular act not only made possible what we refer to as space and time, but also created all the mass and energy contained within it. When the angels saw this expression of God's omnipotence they sang praises and shouted for joy!
When Lucifer rejected the truth, and turned himself into the devil, his thinking became warped but not totally detached from reality. He clearly understood that God made possible not only the lives of all the angelic spirits but also gave them their abilities and powers (Colossians 1:16). The devil also knew his own authority and power, though great, was still limited.
It therefore seems incredibly unlikely that the devil foolishly thought he and the demons who followed him had the combined power to unilaterally attack and conquer their Maker. There was something, however, related to his early experiences with God which would lead him to take the audacious move to elevate his throne above all others (Isaiah 14:13).
Lucifer was blessed, right after his creation, with the unique privilege of being next to God's throne as a covering cherub (Ezekiel 28:14). He saw firsthand how he exercised perfect love. He continually witnessed his incredible generosity, mercifulness, gentleness, meekness and humility.
Lucifer, before becoming the devil, understood God's selfless dedication to enhancing the existence of all others and to maintaining the greatest relationship possible with each of them. As a cherub, he upheld his Creator's way as the one and only path to the greatest existence anyone could experience.
A radical change
Lucifer's views on everything changed when he filled himself with vanity, sinned, and turned himself into the devil (Ezekiel 28:17). His exalted view of himself led him to create a unique, and diametrically opposite, way of thinking than what God had originally given him. The new philosophy of life the devil adopted flipped his dedication to selfless love into a hardcore fixation on loving himsel
The Bible reveals that the devil filled his heart with violence (Ezekiel 28:16). This led him to conclude that God's way of love, which he had saw firsthand, was his greatest weakness. He felt certain that if an attack was launched that the Eternal's selfless character would cause him to forego using his power to defend himself. Instead of exercising his authority, Satan surmised, God would meekly surrender his throne in order to avoid a conflict.
The devil and his risky stealth attack on the throne of God failed miserably (Isaiah 14:15 - 19). His understanding of perfect love proved to be fatally flawed. The Eternal ultimately used his omnipotent power to eject both Satan and his demonic army out of heaven with the speed of a lightning strike (Luke 10:18)!
ANSWER: Several times in the Bible Jesus is referenced as sitting at the Father's right hand in heaven (Psalm 110:1, 5, Mark 16:19, Luke 22:69, Matthew 26:64, Acts 2:33, 7:55 and so on). Before, however, we delve into the question of who sits to the left of God we should answer why residing on his right is so important.
Biblically, the right hand symbolizes authority, power, and strength (Genesis 48:14 - 19, Exodus 15:6, Isaiah 23:11, 41:10, 45:1, Revelation 1:16 - 17, etc.). Various studies have shown that at least 70%, and possibly as high as 95%, of all people are right-handed (which means it is stronger than the left one).
Sitting at a person's right side was considered a place of honor. When a newly crowned King Solomon wished to give his mother the highest honor he could he placed her next to him (1Kings 2:19).
In modern English, we sometimes say that someone is the "right-hand man" of a particular boss or leader. What we mean is that the person has a position of authority that is at least partially derived from the authority of his or her boss or leader. Christ, after his resurrection, stated that God the Father had given him "all authority in heaven and on earth" (Matthew 28:18).
In direct answer to your inquiry, the Bible reveals that currently no one is sitting to the left of God. In 32 A.D., just before Stephen became the first Christian martyr, he was granted a rare vision of the very throne room in heaven.
But he (Stephen), being filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God (Acts 7:55).
Stephen did not see anyone sitting or standing to the left of the Eternal. He certainly did not see the Holy Spirit anywhere near the throne, which one would expect if it really were a person in the Godhead and if the doctrine of the Trinity were true (see our article on the Trinity for more info).
Concerning Satan, he at one time covered the Eternal's throne but did not sit next to it (Ezekiel 28:14). When he later stormed the throne of heavenwith his demonic hoards (Revelation 12:4), he was not seeking to "share" rule of the universe with anyone. He sought nothing less than to destroy both the Eternal and Christ and take complete control of everything (Isaiah 14:12 - 14)!
A mother's special request
One day the mother of James and John approached Jesus with a most unusual request.
Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Him with her sons, worshiping Him and asking a certain thing from Him. And He said to her, "What do you desire?"
She said to Him, "Grant that these my two sons may sit one at Your right hand and one at Your left hand in Your kingdom." But Jesus answered and said, "You do not know what you are asking . . . " (Matthew 20:20 - 22).
Was the request by James' and John's mother referring to positions of authority in the third heaven where the Eternal's throne resides?
If James and John flanked Jesus in heaven, whichever one sat on his left hand would separate him from the Father and put him in a position of lesser authority in the universe. This would contradict many scriptures that clearly declare his supremacy of power and rule under the Father (see Matthew 28:18, etc.).
The motherly request was almost certainly referring to the kingdom Jesus would set up on earth to rule humans (often referred to as the Millennium). After all, he did promise the disciples they would sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel (Matthew 19:28, Luke 22:30).
Part of the problem is that those who followed Christ expected his kingdom to be set up during their lifetimes and not in the distant future after their deaths (Acts 1:6).
In conclusion, the Bible reveals that no one sits on God's left hand. This situation is likely to continue into the ages yet to come (see Revelation 22:3).

The harvested produce is spread over the threshing floor God use His word over us as we are walking bibles.
(Ruth 2:17; Isaiah 28:27)(Deuteronomy 25:4; Isaiah 28:28)
A threshing floor is important in the biblical story of Ruth and Boaz. In those times, if a woman's husband died, it was very difficult for her to survive on her own, and very often, the woman would be "redeemed" by her husband's nearest kinsmen (Leviticus 25:25; Ruth 2:20).
The threshing floor is symbolic of judgment in the Bible. Old Testament prophet Hosea prophesied that Israel would be "like the morning mist or like the dew that goes early away, like the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor or like smoke from a window" (Hosea 13:3).
The threshing floor has spiritual significance as the place where good and evil are separated.
1. Earth, in its primary sense, signifies the particles which compose the mass of the globe, but more particularly the particles which form the fine mold on the surface of the globe; or it denotes any indefinite mass or portion of that matter. We throw up earth with a spade or plow; we fill a pit or ditch with earth; we form a rampart with earth. This substance being considered, by ancient philosophers, as simple, was called an element; and in popular language, we still hear of the four elements, fire, air,earth, and water.
2. In chimistry, the term earth was, till lately, employed to denote a simple elementary body or substance, tasteless, inodorous, uninflammable and infusible. But it has also been applied to substances which have a very sensible alkaline taste, as lime. The primitive earths are reckoned ten in number, viz, silex, alumin, lime, magnesia, baryte, strontian, zircon, glucin, yttria and thorina. Recent experiments prove that most or all of them are compounds of oxygen with bases, some of which appear to possess the properties of metals. In this case the earths are to be considered as metallic oxyds.
3. The terraqueous globe which we inhabit. The earth is nearly spherical, but a little flatted at the poles, and hence its figure is called an oblate spheroid. It is one of the primary planets, revolving round the sun in an orbit which is between those of Venus and Mars. It is nearly eight thousand miles in diameter, and twenty five thousand miles in circumference. Its distance from the sun is about ninety five millions of miles,and its annual revolution constitutes the year of 365 days, 5 hours, and nearly 49 minutes.
4. The world, as opposed to other scenes of existence.
5. The inhabitants of the globe.
The whole earth was of one language. Gen.11.
6. Dry land, opposed to the sea.
God called the dry land earth. Gen.1.
7. Country; region; a distinct part of the globe.
In this sense, land or soil is more generally used.
In scripture, earth is used for a part of the world. Ezra. 1.2.
8. The ground; the surface of the earth. He fell to the earth. The ark was lifted above the earth.
In the second month--was the earth dried. Gen.8.
9. In scripture, things on the earth, are carnal, sensual, temporary things; opposed to heavenly, spiritual or divine things.
10. Figuratively, a low condition. Rev.12.
11. from ear, L. aro, to plow. The act of turning up the ground in tillage. Not used.
EARTH, v.t. To hide in the earth.

1. The splendid orb or luminary which, being in or near the center of our system of worlds, gives light and heat to all the planets. The light of the sun constitutes the day, and the darkness which proceeds form its absence, or the shade of the earth, constitutes the night. Ps.136.
2. In popular usage, a sunny place; a place where the beams of the sun fall; as, to stand in the sun, that is, to stand where the direct rays of the sun fall.
3. Any thing eminently splendid or luminous; that which is the chief source of light or honor. The natives of America complain that the sun of their glory is set.
I will never consent to put out the sun of sovereignty to posterity.
4. In Scripture, Christ is called the sun of righteousness, as the source of light, animation and comfort to his disciples.
5. The luminary or orb which constitutes the center of any system of worlds. The fixed stars are supposed to be suns in their respective systems.
Under the sun, in the world; on earth; a proverbial expression.

beauty
BEAU'TY, n. bu'ty.
1. An assemblage of graces, or an assemblage of properties in the form of the person or any other object, which pleases the eye. In the person, due proportion or symmetry of parts constitutes the most essential property to which we annex the term beauty. In the face, the regularity and symmetry of the features, the color of the skin, the expression of the eye, are among the principal properties which constitute beauty. But as it is hardly possible to define all the properties which constitute beauty, we may observe in general, that beauty consists in whatever pleases the eye of the beholder, whether in the human body, in a tree, in a landscape, or in any other object.
Beauty is intrinsic, and perceived by the eye at first view, or relative, to perceive which the aid of the understanding and reflection is requisite. Thus, the beauty of a machine is not perceived, till we understand its uses, and adaptation to its purpose. This is called the beauty of utility. By any easy transition, the word beauty is used to express what is pleasing to the other senses, or to the understanding. Thus we say, the beauty of a thought, of a remark, of sound, &c.
So beauty, armed with virtue, bows the soul
With a commanding, but a sweet control.
2. A particular grace, feature or ornament; any particular thing which is beautiful and pleasing; as the beauties of nature.
3. A particular excellence, or a part which surpasses in excellence that with which it is united; as the beauties of an author.
4. A beautiful person, In scripture, the chief dignity or ornament. 2 Sam.1.
5. In the arts, symmetry of parts; harmony; justness of composition.
6. Joy and gladness. Is.61. Order, prosperity,peace,holiness, Ezek. 26.
BEAU'TY, v.t. bu'ty. To adorn; to beautify or embellish. God
hath shined.
shine
SHINE, v.i. If s is a prefix, this word accords with the root of L. canus, caneo.
1. To emit rays of light; to give light; to beam with steady radiance; to exhibit lightness or splendor; as, the sun shines by day; the moon shines by night. Shining differs from sparkling, glistening, glittering, as it usually implies a steady radiation or emission of light, whereas the latter words usually imply irregular or interrupted radiation. This distinction is not always not always observed, and we may say, the fixed stars shine, as well as they sparkle. But we never say the sun or the moon sparkles.
2. To be bright; to be lively and animated; to be brilliant.
Let thine eyes shine forth in their full luster. Denham.
3. To be unclouded; as, the moon shines.

We say, the men come this way, whether riding or on foot; the wind comes from the west; the ship comes with a fine breeze; light comes from the sun. It is applicable perhaps to every thing susceptible of motion, and is opposed to go.
2. To draw nigh; to approach; to arrive; to be present
Come thou and all thy house into the ark. Gen. 7.
All my time will I wait, till my change come. Job 14.
When shall I come and appear before God? Ps. 42.
Then shall the end come. Matt. 24.

I wonder how he came to know what had been done; how did he come by his knowledge? the heir comes into possession of his estate; the man will come in time to abhor the vices of his youth, or he will come to be poor and despicable, or to poverty.
In these and similar phrases, we observe the process or advance is applied to the body or to the mind, indifferently; and to persons or events.
4. To happen or fall out; as, how comes that? Let come what will. Hence when followed by an object or person, with to or on, to befall; to light on.
After all that has come on us for our evil deeds. Ezra 9.
All things come alike to all. Eccles. 9.
5. To advance or move into view; to appear; as, blood or color comes and goes in the face.
6. To sprout, as plants; to spring. The corn comes or comes up. In the coming or sprouting of malt, as it must not come too little, so it must not come too much. So Bacon uses the word; and this use of it coincides nearly with the sense of 2 Kings 19:26 and in the same chapter inserted in Isaiah 34:27. It is the G. Kiemen, Icelandic kiema, to bud, or germinate.
7. To become.
So came I a widow.
8. To appear or be formed, as butter; to advance or change from cream to butter; a common use of the word; as, the butter comes.
9. Come, in the imperative, is used to excite attention, or to invite to motion or joint action; come, let us go.
This is the heir; come, let us kill him.
When repeated, it sometimes expresses haste; come, come. Sometimes if expresses or introduces rebuke.
As the sense of come is to move, in almost any manner, in its various applications, that sense is modified indefinitely by other words used in connection with it. Thus with words expressing approach, it denotes advancing nearer; with words expressing departure, as from, of, out of, &c., it denotes motion from, &c.
To come about, to happen; to fall out; to come to pass; to arrive. How did these tings come about? So the French venir a bout, to come to the end, that is, to arrive.
To come about, to turn; to change; to come round. The wind will come about from west to east. The ship comes about. It is applied to a change of sentiments.
On better thoughts, and my urged reasons,
They are come about, and won to the true side.
To come again, to return. Gen. 28., Lev. 14.
To come after, to follow. Matt. 24. Also to come to obtain; as, to come after a book.

Also, to come towards, as in attacking.

Also, to depart from; to leave. Mark 9.
Also, to come abroad. Jer. 4.
To come from, to depart from to leave. In popular language, this phrase is equivalent to, where is his native place or former place of residence; where did this man, this animal or this plant originate.
To come home, that is, to come to home, or the house; to arrive at the dwelling. Hence, to come close; to press closely; to touch the feelings, interest, or reason.
Come is an intransitive verb, but the participle come is much used with the substantive verb, in the passive form. The end of all flesh is come. I am come, thou art come, he is come, we are come, &c. This use of the substantive verb, for have, is perhaps too well established to be rejected; but have or has should be used in such phrases. In the phrase, come Friday, come Candlemas, there is an ellipsis of certain words, as when Friday shall come.
Come, come, the repetition of come, expresses haste, or exhortation to hasten. Sometimes it introduces a threat.

I have turned my mind to the subject
When a man is tempted no one should say;
good is tempting me; For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed for He cannot control his flesh at this point your flesh is out of control. James 1:13
After desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
Galatians 6:7 King James deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Again I will build you, and you will be rebuilt, O Virgin Israel. Again you will take up your tambourines and go out in joyful dancing.
Let them praise His name in the dance: let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp. Let everything that had breath praise the Lord.
The harvested produce is spread over the threshing floor God use His word over us as we are walking bibles.
(Ruth 2:17; Isaiah 28:27)(Deuteronomy 25:4; Isaiah 28:28)
A threshing floor is important in the biblical story of Ruth and Boaz. In those times, if a woman's husband died, it was very difficult for her to survive on her own, and very often, the woman would be "redeemed" by her husband's nearest kinsmen (Leviticus 25:25; Ruth 2:20).
The threshing floor is symbolic of judgment in the Bible. Old Testament prophet Hosea prophesied that Israel would be "like the morning mist or like the dew that goes early away, like the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor or like smoke from a window" (Hosea 13:3).
The threshing floor has spiritual significance as the place where good and evil are separated.
