Shalom Aleichem brethren in the Name of Lord Jesus!

One of the most fascinating topics in the Bible is that of the Nephilim. This is among the most discussed topics in the Body, at least after the digital age took over. Yet, this is definitely one of the most misunderstood ones – and it obviously would be, because of the complexities associated with this topic.

Many in the Body say that the Nephilim existed [even] after the Flood. Some say that they did not.

Few in the Body don’t understand or choose to not accept the fact that the ‘sons of God’ mentioned in Genesis (6:4) are the [fallen] angels; they say that the ‘sons of God’ are the sons of Seth, and that the ‘daughters of men’ are the daughters of Cain. When one doesn’t understand such a basic fact, then, nothing mentioned in the passages that speak about and allude to them could be understood whatsoever.

However, the thing is that even when one does understand who the ‘sons of God’ are and who the Nephilim are – there remains a big issue that needs to be resolved – that being as to whether the Nephilim existed after the Flood or not?

The Bible speaks of some who are called the Rephaim, the Anakim, the Emmim and the Zamzummin – some theologians feel that these are part of the Nephilim.

By no means is this an uncomplicated topic, and to top it, there are extra-biblical writings and other aspects that complicate it even more. And the extremely disappointing fact about most who teach this topic is that in their explanations, they focus so much on these other aspects, that knowingly or unknowingly, they end-up deviating to such an extent from the crucial points given in the Bible regarding this topic, that it in-turn causes their teaching to be incorrect and unbiblical.

Thus, through the Holy Spirit’s leading and direction, in this link, we delve-into this topic and focus strictly on what the Bible says about this perplexing issue – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZcG48CuhJc&t=4260s

​

Below is given the outline of the session:

1. The interpretation which says that the Nephilim existed even after the Flood of Noah.
2. View which says that the Nephilim did not exist after the Flood:

• Dispossessing and destroying of certain peoples before the time of Moses and Joshua.

• Utter destruction during the conquest of the Promised Land.

• Focusing on the sons of Rapha, their location; yet a couple of nations/peoples that are missed in most commentaries.

3. Deeper analysis of Genesis (6:4) and Numbers (13:33).

4. New Testament - what Lord said about this topic.

​

No matter how strong, different and powerful the enemy maybe – he stands no chance against us, because our Lord is the One and Only - True Living Almighty God!

Praise and glory belongs to Christ and Christ alone!

Amen.

In the following link, we study the miracle mentioned in Mark 8 – where Lord Jesus heals a blind man at Bethsaida - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxJbbLYe-w8&ab_channel=El-Shaddai-HouseofBibleLearning

Through the help of the Ruach Ha-Kodesh, we unravel the layers underneath the method of healing that Lord Jesus implements when He heals this blind brother.

Grace and peace to everyone who loves Lord Yeshua with an undying love.

Praise and glory for all eternity only to our Lord, our Redeemer – Jesus The Nazarene!

Shalom Aleichem brethren in the Name of Lord Jesus!

Through Lord’s help, in our previous posts, we have delved into the subject of – Death, After-Life, the truth of Elijah having been to Heaven [where Lord dwells], Sheol and other extremely crucial points that are interconnected with this topic. Having walked through over half of this arduous path, we continue to proceed further and, through the Holy Spirit’s help, understand all the aspects revealed about this subject in the Bible.

We have understood the ways incorporated by those from a specific Group/Movement – as to how they manipulate and twist the meaning of the verses/passages, in order to then be able to introduce unbiblical doctrines.

In the below given link we delve into yet another verse – a verse which is abused way too much by them – Matthew 10:28.

We understand as to what Lord Jesus is saying in this verse.

We also understand the meaning and application of the Greek words ‘apollumi’ [used in this verse] and ‘apoleia’.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBsVDd0nh4U&ab_channel=El-Shaddai-HouseofBibleLearning

We understand as to which of the following two is biblical:

Eternal Conscious Suffering or Conditional Immortality

As students of the Word, we need to DILIGENTLY STUDY the Scriptures, and in-turn ACCEPT what the Bible says; unlike what the aforementioned ones do, who claim to follow Christ, and then turn around and teach the exact opposite of what is taught in the Bible.

May we all grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior – The King of Righteousness – Jesus The Christ !!

Shalom Aleichem brethren in the Name of Lord Jesus!

As slaves of Christ, it brings us immense joy when we remember our brother – the criminal who, when he was crucified alongside Lord Jesus, accepted Him as his King and Messiah.

The criminal had no idea whatsoever as to how amazing his testimony would turn-out to be!!

We are filled with joy because we realise that no matter how filthy [or for that matter, and more importantly, how good] our deeds maybe, the only way to be justified, to be declared righteous, to be able to enter the Kingdom is through faith and faith alone in Yeshua The Christ.

A person doesn’t know when they would die; thus, to believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior is to be done NOW, not in the future, not when we feel that death is about to come, for no-one knows when their time would be up.

..... ....

It also brings us great joy over the fact that many in the Body understand as to what is being said in Luke (23:39-43). However, there are a certain few from a particular sect/movement who very strategically deceive those of our brothers and sisters who do not have deeply rooted foundational understanding of the Bible, which in-turn causes them to fall prey to the deceptively designed false teachings of these certain few.

They deliberately twist the meaning of Luke (23:43) over the comma aspect, in order to fit-in their unbiblical doctrines. And they intentionally misapply the terms used in verses 42 and 43.

Through Lord’s help, in this link [extract from the Series – ‘Death According to the Bible’] – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SfY_gu3yXA&t=348s&ab_channel=El-Shaddai-HouseofBibleLearning, their true intentions are brought to light, we dig deeper in this passage and not only understand as to what is being said, but more importantly, as to what is being meant, by both – the criminal and Lord Jesus Himself.

There are many who find it fashionable to not believe in the truth of or to complicate the passages that speak of Paradise – what every believer needs to ask their ownself is whether they want to follow that which seems fashionable and/or logical [one of Satan’s ace cards] or that which the Bible says.

Peace and love to all of you in our Lord – The Prince of Peace – Jesus The Christ!

Shalom dear brethren in the Name of Lord Jesus!

First Corinthians 15 is one of the most important chapters of the Bible. Millions in the Body speak of the fact that there are treasures in the Bible. And this is absolutely correct!

The Scripture has treasures and gems that can be found only when one digs through the Holy Spirit’s direction.

However, very few are aware of the truth that certain highly crucial points are revealed only in the New Testament – and 1 Corinthians 15, among a few other N.T. passages, reveals an extremely important aspect which wasn’t made known [except through types which can only be understood through the Brit Chadashah] in the Old Testament.

On this Blessed Day of Yom Teruah [The Feast of Trumpets], as we all continue to long to hear the Last Trumpet that would indeed sound soon, I share the extract on 1 Corinthians 15 in the below given link, which is from one of the videos from the Series – Death According to the Bible.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byI74iZWwbQ&t=467s

In the video, we delve into this passage and understand a few highly crucial points that are deliberately skipped, and the intentional misinterpretation of the passage that is done by a certain few.

Without understanding as to how ‘death’ is spoken-off in the Bible, one can never understand 1 Corinthians 15 and other passages that speak about death.

Christ alone could and He did defeat death; and in Him only is Eternal Life.

He is the Head of the Body, His Body – And He is Coming very soon to take His Church!

Amen!

Shalom brethren in the Name of Lord Jesus!

This day indeed is a special day – this Erev was the full moon; and in its fullness it had for a few minutes become blood red. It was a Blood Moon Shabbat and the full moon before Rosh HaShanah; before Yom Teruah [The Feast of Trumpets].

I wasnt aware that I would have to share this post today - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRl8Fl5t1SU; but Lord has led me to share this post regarding Enoch today itself, because through Lord’s help, this video speaks of the truth of Enoch having been taken to Heaven [where Lord dwells].

Enoch is a type of the Ecclesia, and the Church is going to be harpazoed / raptured at some point before the Seventieth Week of Daniel begins.

I have never ever set dates, nor am I Rapture-manic, unlike most who set dates and then give those from a certain Movement the opportunity to speak against the truth of the Doctrine of the Rapture.

Neither am I a Shabbat/Moadim [mandatory] observance propagator – something that is found a lot in a few Denominations / Movements, including the above mentioned Movement.

This video [too] brings to light the hidden agendas behind the deliberate unbiblical teachings regarding Enoch and other deeper doctrines associated with this topic.

Lord’s Only Beloved Son alone created the Heavens and the Earth; Christ alone is the Creator and the Redeemer of His Creation. He is coming soon to take His Church!!

Love and shalom to all who love Jesus with an undying love.

Shalom brethren in the Name of Lord Jesus!

There are a few episodes in the Bible that are very well-known – one of them is Elijah having been taken to Heaven. We all have read about this quite a few times, heard about it and some may have even seen some beautiful renderings of this absolutely amazing event.

Many in the Body believe that Elijah was taken to Heaven – the Heaven where Lord dwells. This, indeed, is the truth.

HOWEVER....!!

There’s always a ‘However’; if not always, then at least quite a few times. We would be getting to the root of this ‘However’ in a few seconds.

Getting back to Elijah -- Elijah did go to Heaven where Lord dwells.

When a believer who reads the Bible not with the intention to teach, diligently learn, refute OR -- DELIBERATELY introduce destructive heresies [these obviously aren’t believers] – when a believer reads in a normal way [which at times is totally fine], they would, inspite of without having dug, understand the passage the way it was intended to be understood/interpreted.

However, there are those who approach the Scriptures with ulterior motives and VERY strategically misteach several passages from the Bible. It is because of such that an absolutely in-depth study needs to be done which then brings to the surface many new things and the truth behind these seemingly true teachers/preachers/theologians/expositors/unlearning experts or whichever other term they would like to be called-by.

In case of Elijah, there are even more complications because in this case, some of our beloved brothers, in pursuit of silencing the critics of the Bible [which must surely be done], unknowingly end-up teaching unbiblical things. This is mainly because of what is mentioned in John 3:13. There are a couple of other points also apart from this verse.

The root behind what the former ones do [the ones who masquerade as the ministers of Christ] goes a lot deeper than John 3:13. There are many false teachers in the Body; however, these ones fall under a specific Group/Movement. They teach that no-one has ever been to Heaven [where Lord dwells], neither before nor after Christ, and that no-one can ever go to Heaven. This is among the MANY false things that they teach, and lead hundreds and thousands of our beloved brothers and sisters astray.

This is the reason why, through Lord’s help, in the below given link, we delve into the topic of Elijah having been taken to Heaven, and not just Elijah, but we also study the passages of Enoch and the Apostle Paul. And through the Holy Spirit’s help and direction, we understand that they were indeed taken to Heaven where Lord dwells.

Peace and love to all who love Christ with an undying love. Amen.

Jesus loves us so much that he has preserved for us an actual picture of a Bible event! It is a huge 80 foot stone carving from 701 BC called the Lachish relief. It marks the capture of Judah's second largest city in Isaiah 36:2. It is undisputed in its authenticity. Even PBS Nova did a show on it.

Please google: Lachish

This is a simple way to show someone that the Bible is true. I recently spoke to a Texas mom who said her daughter came crying from school because classmates had said that the Bible was mythical. I told her to google "Lachish" and she told me she was grateful;I was humbled by her thankfulness.

Please tell Sunday school teachers, pastors, Facebook groups, children and your fellow Christian.Romans 10:17 says faith comes from hearing the word of God; so actually seeing a Bible event would be helpful for faith building.

Thanks for reading this and sharing.

Today, July 20, 2016, and my presence in it, were created by the Lord.

He brought me through the past, down the road He made to lead to this day. He has equipped me for today, with talents for my use.

God has a purpose for me at this moment. Right now is the only chance I will have to live this moment and fulfill today's purpose.

(God also has a purpose for me tomorrow. That purpose will depend, in part, on whether I use the talents He has given me today.)

I, and only I, can decide whether I will live today in a manner pleasing to Him or not. I, and only I.

I just wanted to extend an invitation to /r/Christians for any of you out there looking for a general Christian sub that promotes the fellowship of Christian believers without fear of disrespectful or mocking behavior. I'm trying to build the sub up as a place for encouragement and exhortation of believers, rather than debate, and the sub would greatly benefit your participation. But also feel free to subscribe just for uplifting posts. For more information, I would invite you to read our sidebar, as well as our recently written purpose statement. Thanks and God bless.
