As a Swede, I can definitely confirm that being neutral means letting the enemy roam free. Most people don’t know this, but my country claimed to be neutral in the Second World War and this still meant that we allowed the Nazis to travel through our lands on their way to Norway, which they had invaded.
I think it says the song of Moses and the Lamb because Moses set his people free. The same way the Lamb frees from the captivity of sin and death. Either way praise God in the name of Jesus.
It would be nice to see more single Christians doing the scripture reading. It would be a good reminder that you don't have to be married to serve your community and Christ.
God is sooo for marriage, and in highly favorable relationship between man and women. That it should be promoted and preached. It should be shouted out of/about. I thank God that He has placed so many children in matrimony upon this platform so others can think, honestly. The opposite of this comment. We should be saying how can I get that! Where! When! And then follow it up with diligent prayer asking God if He may bless us with it. To not be compromising to things of the enemy and only saying that I mean exactly what the pastor speaks on. Knowing the truth so you can see the fraudulent. If your single out there I take my hat off too you bc as God See's it which o hope you understand it. It is because you can refrain from fornication, unlike most others, who then find a spouse to share the pleasure of one another spiritually and physically with. And if I shouldn't be tipping my hat to all those who I have acknowledged then I would urgently look into your hearts and ask yourselves. What is my motive. Why am I thinking these thoughts. Is it for the Glory of God???
1 Corinthians 7: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.”(A) 2 But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. Now to the unmarried[a] and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.(I) 9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry,(J) for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
Babylon the Great is Fallen, is Fallen. Direct quote from Jerimiah. 800 quotes from old testament are in book of Revelation. When you say it cannot mean for us what it did not mean for them, I just want to ask who is writing this book? Not John. He is just doing dictation. When Jesus writes the book the meaning gets very complicated. Jesus said that John was to write the things that are to come thereafter. This is in the section of the book that is hereafter. Hereafter what? Hereafter the churches of Chapter 2&3. Babylon is Rome. I will agree. What is the fornication? Read Hosea. But the falling of Rome(Babylon) will be described in Revelation 17 & 18. You really want to have fun with Babylon. Read what Jesus has to say to Thyatira in Chapter 2.
@ 33:00 - "Never in the Bible is Harvesting spoken as judgement" - what about Matthew 13:24-30 where it discusses gathering and burning the weeds at harvest time? @ 36:20 - "nine times out of ten in the scripture [fire] represents the presence and power of God" - there are several times fire is used to represent judgement, including the Matthew 13 passage referenced above. Sure, many times it is used to represent the power of God, but definitely not often enough to let it drive the reading of scripture every time you see it.
I cannot comprehend how you just taught the winepress of God's wrath and so many other things in this chapter. That is just wrong. People, please be Bereans and search the Scriptures for yourself.
When he gives an exact number. Don't call it an exaggeration. He could have said, just a great distance but he didn't. He gave an exact distance, just like the 144000. He gave exact numbers and exact tribes. You can't generalize it.
Thank you Pastor Matt. Doing this in my Bible Study.
I choose the WAY of the LAMB! Loving this series on Revelation, thank you Pastor Matt!

Great message!

This. Thank you brother. We are just as valuable in the kingdom of God.
What an unusual statement 🤔

heavy message but someone needs to say it
🙂
I'm trying to find Jesus in the sanctuary?
Matt thanks for this message…but there are plenty of passages is Scripture were the imagery of harvest is used in connection with God’s wrath
