II Corinthians - Satan Disguised as an Angel of Light http://www.companionbiblecondensed.com/NT/2Corinthians.pdf Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians- Biblical documentation to back up what I have written Disguised arehis angels and Satan himself as an "angel of light." They will be disguised as "ministers of righteousness." See II Corinthians 11:13-15 for Biblical documentation. I am now going to back up to the start of chapter 11, and see what Paul says about the beginning. God has "espoused us to one husband , "...that I may present you as a true virgin (spiritually speaking) to Christ." II Corinth . 11:2 In II Corinth.11:3 , Paul tells us of Eve's seduction by Satan in The Beginning. Also, that we should not seduced ( spiritually ) by Satan when he appears in his role as the False Messiah. What shame it would be to be found worshipping Satan himself when the true LORD Jesus Christ returns at the 7th trump. People thinking they had been good Christians. It is sad that people today, by what they are being taught, are already misled, and will, most likely, worship Satan as Christ. I agree that the 1/3 who followed Satan in The First Earth Age, are here today, partly because of all the evil and God-less atheism, and that Satan will test them again himself de facto. II Corinth . 11:3, Paul says in II Corinth.11:4, Paul tells us to beware of "...another Jesus", who is Satan is role at the end of this Earth Age. Lucifer ("the morning star"), actually, the fake morning star , being disguised as the true, will be here de facto for 5 months. God's elect who are delivered before him will allow the Holy Spirit to speak through them; they will NOT bow a knee to Satan. The Two Witnesses die and Jesus Christ will return. Everthing has happened, and will happen, EXACTLY how it is written. Ezekiel 34 Judgement Begins With The Shepherds
Psalm 22 takes the point of view of a righteous man who is suffering torments unto death. A verse-by-verse exposition demonstrates that the psalm points with great fullness and precision to Jesus' death on the cross. Verses 1-2. 1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
From these verses we infer that the speaker is a man who is undergoing severe anguish, caused mainly by His alienation from God. The predicament suggested here is exactly what Jesus suffered as He took the Father's hatred for our sin upon Himself. The Gospels record seven utterances of Jesus as He hung on the cross.
The fourth utterance in sequence is a quotation from Psalm 22—indeed, from the opening words of the psalm. As death approached, Jesus remembered the psalm that was prophetic of His own ordeal. He cried out the opening words for all to hear, then kept silent while the psalm continued to pass through His mind. Why did He apply the opening words to His own case? Why did He say that God had forsaken Him? He was quoting ps. 22 to bear witness to those present at His execution that, He was indeed, the Messiah. It is just my opinion, I cannot document this, but I feel that Jesus was teaching on the cross, even while being executed in such a ghastly manner. His further meditation upon the psalm occasionally prompted Him to speak again. His fifth utterance on the cross, "I thirst" (John 19:28), perhaps followed His remembrance of verse 15, "My tongue cleaveth to my jaws." His sixth utterance, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit" (Luke 23:46) may have been spoken in connection with verse 29, "And none can keep alive his own soul." His seventh and last saying, "It is finished" (John 19:30), was unquestionably His victorious restatement of the psalm's conclusion, "He hath done this." The saying and the psalm's conclusion are each a single word: in Greek, tetelestai , in Hebrew, asah (1). The former is a close Greek translation of the latter, which carries the sense, "He has acted with effect" (2). In other words, "He has accomplished the purpose of His action." What did Jesus mean by His last utterance? He meant that He had finished the work of our salvation. Verses 3-5. 3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
The speaker's confession of God as the God of His fathers (v. 4) reveals that He belongs to the nation of Israel. Jesus was, of course, a member of this nation. Verses 6-8. 6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
The circumstances of the speaker now become clearer. He is a righteous man in distress, and His sufferings have made Him the reproach of evil men (v. 6). They have gathered to mock Him (v. 7). They taunt Him by saying, "He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him." The plight of the speaker in Psalm 22 corresponds perfectly to Jesus' as He hung on the cross. He was a spectacle in the midst of many enemies, including the Jewish leaders who called out, He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for He said, I am the Son of God. Verses 9-10. 9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
Here we discover that the speaker is no ordinary man, for He can boast that He trusted in God when He was only a suckling infant (v. 9). Even before birth, He knew God (v. 10). The possession of God-consciousness so early in life is surely proof that the speaker has a uniquely exalted nature. Indeed, to have enjoyed such precocious fellowship with God, He must be God's specially anointed One, the Christ. Verses 11-13. 11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
From these verses we learn that the speaker has no ordinary enemy. He sees some of the mockers around Him as "bulls of Bashan" (v. 12). Bashan, the high tableland east of Galilee, was famous for its rich fields and pastures (3). Its teeming herds of well-fed cattle no doubt supplied many of the bulls sacrificed at the Temple in Jerusalem. So, it is likely that the epithet "bulls of Bashan" expresses how the dying Jesus would perceive the chief priests who stood jeering Him as He hung on the cross (Matt. 27:41). The Temple where the priests worked was essentially a slaughterhouse. Perhaps their hands and clothes smelled like the blood and burning flesh of bulls. Jesus may have perceived them as bulls for another reason also—because like bulls they were dangerous, mean-tempered, and ignorant. Although He was dying for these wretched examples of humanity, and although he desired their repentance and salvation, He saw them realistically. As God, He knew what they were. Yet the chief priests were not the principal movers behind the Crucifixion. They were simply pawns of another creature, "a ravening and a roaring lion" (v. 13). This expression refers to the devil, who appears under the figure of a lion in several other texts (Psa. 91:13; 1 Pet. 5:8). As Jesus was suffering on the cross, He saw the great predator of souls as the controlling intelligence behind the men who had brought Him to His death. Verses 14-18. 14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
All the complaints here speak graphically of Jesus' crucifixion. The first two describe His chief sensations on the cross.
As the hours wore on, Jesus sensed approaching death. He perceived three threats to His vital functions.
The next statement summarizes Jesus' condition as He neared the end of His ordeal. "Thou hast brought me into the dust of death." In other words, His body had reached a nonviable state. He continued to live only by His own divine power. The next shows more of the scene about the cross. "Dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me." "Dogs" was a Jewish term of insult for gentiles, alluding to their habit of eating unclean food. Jesus Himself once compared gentiles to dogs (Matt. 15:26), although, with characteristic kindness, He turned insult into endearment by His choice of words. The label He put on gentiles is a diminutive signifying a family pet (6). The term "dogs" here in Psalm 22 probably refers to the Roman soldiers who gawked with pleasure upon the spectacle of Jesus' death. The "assembly of the wicked" comprehends all of the onlookers who hated Him—the soldiers and religious leaders, as well as the profane Jewish mob (Matt. 27:39-40; Luke 23:35). The speaker of the psalm evidently conceives of this hostile assembly as the antithesis of the "brethren," the "congregation," who would later rejoice at the deliverance of the righteous victim (v. 22). The following are three proofs that Psalm 22 describes a crucifixion:
Verses 19-31. 19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
Jesus was doubtless on the threshold of death when He tacitly recited these verses at the conclusion of Psalm 22. They look forward to the time when Jesus will be "governor among the nations" (v. 28) and when "all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him" (v. 29; compare with Phil. 2:9-11). Everyone will then recognize that no man can live forever except through Jesus' power, for He is the Lord of life. Nevertheless, even though the sober reminder that "none can keep alive his own soul" speaks of ordinary men rather than of Christ, these words may have turned His thoughts to the imminent departure of His soul to Hades. He did not fear death, for He knew that the Father would soon deliver His soul from Hades and His body from corruption (Psa. 16:10). So perhaps now, at the prompting of such reflections, He uttered His sixth saying on the cross, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." Three main consequences would follow the ordeal of the righteous man.
When Jesus finally came to the end of the psalm, He shouted out the words, "It is finished" (Matt. 27:50; John 19:30). Then, after uttering His last saying, He died. His great suffering, colossal beyond our conception, was over. Eternal life for His followers was made sure. Even now, two thousand years later, let us rejoice in His victory and give Him unceasing praise for the salvation He has provided, as the psalmist says we should (v. 23).
An uninformed reader of Psalm 22 might suspect that the writer is knowingly describing a crucifixion. The facts prove otherwise, however. This method of punishment was not invented until the sixth century B.C., long after any plausible date for Psalm 22 (9). So what we have in this psalm is supernatural knowledge of the future—real prophecy, in other words.
The Nephilium-The Fallen Angels Who Set the Stage For The Great Flood
An Appendix From The Companion Bible
6, and Ap. 23 ) are called in Gen. 6, Ne-phil-im , which means fallen ones (from naphal , to fall ). What these beings were can be gathered only from Scripture. They were evidently great in size, as well as great in wickedness. They were superhuman, abnormal beings; and their destruction was necessary for the preservation of the human race, and for the faithfulness of Jehovah's Word ( Gen 3:15 ) This was why the Flood was brought "upon the world of the ungodly" (2Pet. 2:5) as prophesied by Enoch (Jude 14). But we read of the Nephilim again in Num. 13:33 : "there we saw the Nephilim , the sons of Anak, which come of the Nephilim ". How, it may be asked, could this be, if they were all destroyed in the Flood? The answer is contained in Gen. 6:4, where we read : "There were Nephilim in the earth in those days (i.e. in the days of Noah); and also AFTER THAT, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became [the] mighty men (Heb. gibbor , the heroes) which were of old, men of renown" (lit. men of the name , i.e. who got a name and were renowned for their ungodliness). So that "after that", i.e. after the Flood, there was a second irruption of these fallen angels, evidently smaller in number and more limited in area, for they were for the most part confined to Canaan, and were in fact known as "the nations of Canaan". It was for the destruction of these, that the sword of Israel was necessary, as the Flood had been before. As to the date of this second irruption, it was evidently soon after it became known that the seed was to come through Abraham; for, when he came out from Haran (Gen. 12:6) and entered Canaan, the significant fact is stated : "The Canaanite was then (i.e. already ) in the land." And in Gen. 14:5 they were already known as "Raphain" and Emim", and had established themselves at Asteroth Karnaim and Shaven Kiriathaim. In ch. 15:18-21 they are enumerated and named among Canaanite Peoples : "Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, and the Amorites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites" (Gen. 15:19-21; cp. Ex. 3:8, 17; 23:23. Deut. 7; 20:17. Josh. 12:8). Joshua 12:8 These were to be cut off, and driven out, and utterly destroyed (Deut. 20:17. Josh. 3:10). But Israel failed in this (Josh. 13:13; 15:63; 16:10; 17:18. Judg. 1:19, 20, 28, 29, 30-36; 2:1-5; 3:1-7); and we known not how many got away to other countries to escape the general destruction. If this were recognized it would go far to solve many problems connected with Anthropology. As to their other names, they were called Anakim , from on Anak which came of the Nephilim (Num. 13:23), and Rephaim , from Rapha, another notable one among them. From Deut. 2:10, they were known by some as Emim , and Horim , and Zamzummim (v. 20, 21) and Avim , &c. As Rephaim they were well known, and are often mentioned : but, unfortunately, instead of this, their proper name, being preserved, it is variously translated as "dead", "deceased", or "giants". These Rephaim are to have no resurrection. This fact is stated in Isa. 26:14(where the proper name is rendered "deceased," and v. 19, where it is rendered "the dead"). It is rendered "dead" seven times (Job 26:5. Ps. 88:10. Prov. 2:18; 9:18; 21:16. Isa. 14:8; 26:19). It is rendered "deceased" in Isa. 26:14. It is retained as a proper name "Rephaim" ten times (two being in the margin). Gen. 14:5; 15:20. Josh. 12:15 (marg.). 2Sam. 5:18, 22; 23:13.& b31 nbsp; 1Chron. 11:15; 14:9; 20:4 (marg.). Isa. 17:5. In all other places it is rendered "giants", Gen. 6:4; Num. 23:33, where it is Nephilim ; and Job 16:14, where it is gibbor ( Ap. 14. iv ). By reading all these passages the Bible student may know all that can be known about these beings. It is certain that the second irruption took place before Gen. 14, for there the Rephaim were mixed up with the five nations or peoples, which included Sodom and Gomorrha, and were defeated by the four kings under Chedorlaomer. Their principal locality was evidently "Ashtaroth Karnaim"; while the Emim were in the plain of Kiriathaim (Gen. 14:5). Anak was a noted descendant of the Nephilim ; and Rapha was another, giving their names respectively to different clans. Anak's father was Arba , the original builder of Hebron (Gen. 35:27. Josh. 15:13; 21:11); and this Palestine branch of the Anakim was not called Arbahim after him, but Anakim after Anak. They were great, mighty, and tall (Deut. 2:10, 11, 21, 22, 23; 9:2), evidently inspiring the ten spies with great fear (Num. 13:33). Og king of Bashan is described in Deut. 3:11. Their strength is seen in "the giant cities of Bashan" to-day; and we know not how far they may have been utilized by Egypt in the construction of buildings, which is still an unsolved problem. Arba was rebuilt by the Khabiri or confederates seven years before Zoan was built by the Egyptian Pharoahs of the nineteenth dynasty. See note on Num. 13:22. If these Nephilim , and their branch of Rephaim , were associated with Egypt, we have an explanation of the problem which has for ages perplexed all engineers, as to how those huge stones and monuments were brought together. Why not in Egypt as well as in "the giant cities of Bashan" which exist, as such, to this day? Moreover, we have in these mighty men, the "men of renown," the explanation of the origin of the Greek mythology. That mythology was no mere invention of the human brain, but it grew out of the traditions, and memories, and legends of the doings of that mighty race of beings; and was gradually evolved out of the "heroes" of Gen. 6:4. The fact that they were supernatural in their origin formed an easy step to their being regarded as the demi-gods of the Greeks. Thus the Babylonian "Creation Tablets", the Egyptian "Book of the dead", the Greek mythology, and heathen Cosmogonies, which by some are set on an equality with Scripture, or by others adduced in support of it, are all the corruption and perversion of primitive truths, distorted in proportion as their origin was forgotten, and their memories faded away. 2 Epistle of John - The Deceivers - Written to God's Elect http://www.companionbiblecondensed.com/NT/2%20John.pdf2 John http://www.eliyah.com/lexicon.htmlStrong's Concordance - A Bible dictionary http://www.shepherdschapel.com- Bible study - 24/7 satellite broadcasts - Dr. Arnold Murray II John - This book by John (the "disciple whom Christ loved") and also, the author of the Book of Revelation, is written to God's elect see 2 John 1:1 In verse 1:7, we are warned of the deceivers in the end times - people who think they are Christians but are teaching false doctrine.

1st and 2nd Samu'el - Samu'el ("Heard of El") - Heard of God The last two judges of Yisra'el were extremely wicked, and The House of Yisra'el rejected them. The people of Yisra'el reject God as their ruler and want a man King to reign over them. In 1 and Samu'el, God warns The House of Yisra'el that their best vineyards would be taken, their dughters sent to the King to become bakers, their men would serve in The King's army. Still, the House of Yisra'el took no heed of the warnings of God given them through Samu'el. Yisra'el evolves from a theocracy to a monarchy in 1st and 2nd Samu'el, which, in The Bible's original English KJV of 1611, 1st and 2nd Samu'el are really the first 2 Books of the 4 Books of Kings in the original KJV version's layout. The 4 Books of Samu'el and Kings are the history, during that time period, in man's perspective. 1 and 2 Chronicles parellel the 4 Books of Samu'el/Kings, but is the history of that same time period, only told of in God's perspective. First Saul, and then David would reign over Yisra'el in the 2 Books of Samu'el. http://www.companionbiblecondensed.com/OT/1Samuel.pdfSamuel in the Hebrew tongue means: 8050 Shmuw'el sehm-oo-ale' from the passive participle of 8085 and 410 ; heard of God ; Shemuel, the name of three Israelites:--Samuel, Shemuel. 2nd Samuel http://www.companionbiblecondensed.com/OT/2%20Samuel-Book.pdfStarting at: Sam. 12:19, Israel rejected God as thier ruler, and demanded a King to reign over them, to protect them, and fight thier battles.

Still, Israel demended a King. Saul, and then David became King of Israel. Israel evolves from a theocracy to a monarchy.
Garden of Eden Bible Study
The story of the garden of Eden is one that many know. One thing that might be missing from the story of the garden of Eden, is what really happened in Eden on that day. I was told as a child that it had something to do with apples. Well, when I read it when I became older I found out that the word apple is not even in the story. Apples have nothing what so ever to do with what happened in the garden of Eden. I am going to try the best I can with this Bible study to explain to you what really did happen in the garden of Eden. Without knowing what really happened in the garden of Eden, we miss out on so much information that we need to better understand God's word. You may have never heard the story told like this before and it may come as a shock to you what really did happen. We as God's children must not be shocked at the truth of God's word. What you will read will be graphic at times but to tell you what really did happen that's the way it is. We can never let God's word be to graphic for us. If we do, then we are getting to self righteous for God and He does not like that. One other thing that we need to know is that God uses symbology in His word, as we shall see very soon. Genesis 3:1-20 KJV V1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? Here we have are first clue, the word serpent. Now we all know that snakes do not talk. This is not some special talking serpent but a name for a person. The place to find out who this person is, is the book of Revelation. Revelation 12:9 KJV
So now we know who the serpent is, Satan. Yes Satan was in the garden of Eden. That can be found in Ezekiel 28:1-19 where it talks about Satan before and after his fall. We also see how Satan works by using lies and twisting God's word to suite his needs. We can read what God really said in Genesis 2:16-17 Genesis 2:16-17 KJV
Subtil means cunning (usually in a bad sense). Satan is very wise and cunning which is why we need God's help to make it in this world. Also keep in mind that God does not count days like we do. II Peter 3:8 KJVV8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. V2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
We are not talking about real trees here but it is symbolic of people. Lets take a quick look at Jeremiah. Jeremiah 17:7-8 KJV
Tree means to fasten (or make firm), i.e. to close (the eyes). It also means the spine (as giving firmness to the body) backbone. So you see we are not really talking about a tree at all. We are talking about a person, Satan. He is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Satan invented evil as he was the first one to sin which can be read in Ezekiel 28:14-15 Ezekiel 28:14-15 KJV
Touch means to touch, i.e. lay the hand upon (for any purpose; euphem., to lie with a woman). Adam and Eve were told not to touch the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in any way. As we found out that tree is really Satan we are talking about. Keep in mind that touch means to lie with a woman. That is a very important fact as we shall see very soon. V4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: Here is Satan lying again. He knows good and well what God really said to Adam and Eve. They to knew what God said but they didn't listen. This is one of Satan's best tricks, taking the word of God and twisting it to suite his needs. As you probably already know that is how Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness. Satan will use God's word but twist it just a little so it becomes untrue. V5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Up to this point Adam and Eve have not sinned, they did not know what evil was. But when they touch the tree of the knowledge of good and evil their eyes shall be opened and they shall know what evil is. At that point, they have sinned. Lets take a look Genesis 2:25 and we shall see that they are not ashamed to be naked because they did not sin yet. Genesis 2:25 KJV
V6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. Here we have the first sin of mankind. As you can see the word apple is nowhere in that verse, or any where in this whole chapter for that matter. The sin that was committed has absolutely nothing to do with eating apples. Now remember, the tree that is being talked about here is Satan. What Eve did was have intercourse with Satan. That's what the sin was and later we shall see that Cain's father is not Adam but Satan himself. This may be new to you and also may be a shock to hear. But remember that we must not let the truth in God's word shock us. That is really what happened, Eve had intercourse with Satan. Adam also took part, how and in what way I'm not sure. Seeing that Satan is supernatural, he could have appeared as a woman to Adam, maybe not. The point is that he did have a roll in what happened and did what God told him not to do. V7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. Remember in Genesis 2:25 they were both naked and not ashamed. Now they are because they have not listened to God and sinned. Other things to notice here are that they are in a fig grove, not being around apples. Also they took the fig leaves and made aprons to cover themselves. A apron does not go over your mouth but over your lower body. They covered the private parts because they were ashamed of the sin that was committed. V8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
Here we have them for the first time afraid to be close to God. They new what they did was wrong because God told them not to do it. Now they have sinned and don't want to be around God. V11 And He said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
Adam is trying to lay the blame on Eve but he knows good and well that God told him not to do it. V13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. As we have learned already the serpent is Satan. So is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Beguiled means to lead astray, i.e. (mentally) to delude, or (morally) to seduce. Satan by twisting God's word with his lies and the power he has by being supernatural seduced Eve. Satan is very crafty and as we read in Revelation 12:9 he is the one that deceived the world. V14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: This is God's way of letting Satan know He thinks he is the lowest form of life ever created. V15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. God is still talking to Satan here. Enmity means to hate (as one of an opposite tribe or party); hence to be hostile. Seed means seed; figuratively, fruit, plant, sowing-time, posterity. This tells us that there will be hostility between Satan's children and Eve's children. Satan's child will grow up and become the first murderer. Satan's offspring in time will bruise Jesus Christ's heel when they nail Him to the cross. Eve will have two children, Cain and Abel but they do not both have the same father. Adam is Abel's father while Satan is Cain's father. Later when we take a look at Adam's genealogy we shall find that Cain is not mentioned. That's because Adam is not Cain's father, Satan is. V16 Unto the woman He said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. God's sentence to Eve was that her sorrow in child birth would be greatly multiplied. God did not give her a tummy ache for eating to many apples. God gave her more pain in having children for having committed the sin of having intercourse with Satan. Any women ever have a hard labor during child birth? Well you can thank Eve for that. V17 And unto Adam He said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Adam did the wrong thing by obeying what his wife wanted to do and not obeying what God wanted him to do. God should always come first in our life's. Next time you start to sweat at work trying to make money to put food on the table, you can thank Adam for that. V20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. Eve is the mother of all living because it is through her offspring that Jesus Christ will be born. It does not mean we are all descendants of Eve but through Christ we can have eternal life.Lets continue are study in chapter 4. Genesis 4:1-26 KJV V1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
Again means to add or augment (often adverbial, to continue to do a thing). Eve continued in labor and gave birth to Abel. Cain and Abel are fraternal twins, which means they came from two separate bags of water. They had separate conceptions. It is possible for fraternal twins to have different fathers, just like Cain and Abel did. V3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
Wroth means to glow or grow warm; figuratively (usually) to blaze up, of anger, zeal, jealousy. God had respect for Abel's offering because he offered the best parts of the first of his flock to the Lord. Cain on the other hand did not offer the best or the first of what he had to the Lord. Cain did not love God enough to offer Him the best of what he had. V6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
Cain fell short, he missed the mark by not offering the best he had to the Lord. V8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. Cain becomes the first murderer. V9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? Now Cain is lying to God. Family members are to take care and look out for each other, not kill each other. Let's take a look at I John. Also notice in V12 it says Cain is from "that wicked one" meaning Satan was his father. I John 3:10-12 KJV
V10 And He said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto Me from the ground.
Cain's sentence for murdering his brother is handed down by God. V13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Here is Cain caring about his own life but he didn't care to much about his brothers. V15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. Notice that God set a mark on Cain, that mark is very important, it is the beginning of the mark of the beast. It is also a spiritual mark. Cain's offspring in the Bible are called Kenites. Lets take a look at John 8:42-47 where Jesus is talking to some Kenites. John 8:42-47 KJV
Kenites claim to be Jews but they are not as we shall read in Revelation. Revelation 2:8-11 KJV
You can also read about the Kenites who claim to be Jews in Revelation 3:7-13 where it is talking about the church of Philadelphia. Out of the seven churches talked about in Revelation, Jesus only found the church of Smyrna and Philadelphia without any faults. One of the reasons being is that they know the truth about the Kenites, the sons of Cain. If your not in a church that teaches you about the Kenites or what really happened in the garden, it's time to find one that does. After all, why would you want to belong to a church system that Jesus finds faults with? V16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. Lets skip down to verse 25. V25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Here we read that Adam and Eve had another son, Seth. This way the generations leading up to the birth of Jesus stay pure. In Genesis 5 we have the generations of Adam all the way to Noah and his sons. We are just going to look at a bit of it and you will see that Cain is not mentioned as a child of Adam. Genesis 5:1-14 KJV V1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He him;
I hope that you found this study helpful and that it gives you a better understanding of what really did happen in the garden of Eden. The fact the Adam is not Cain's father but that Satan is his father. That is information that we need to know in order to better understand the word of God. The fact that Satan has children on this earth today is one reason why there is so much evil going on in this world. We also have the beginning of the mark of the beast with Cain being marked by God. To learn more about this mark and the beast, take a look at our study on the mark of the beast . Frequently Asked Questions: †

Mark of the Beast Bible Study Just what is the mark of the beast? Do some already have the mark of the beast and not even know it? Who is the beast? In Revelation 13 ; there are two different beasts talked about. In Revelation 13:1-10 the first beast is the political system of the last days. The beast that I'm going to be talking about is in verses 11-18. This beast is a person as will shall see, someone that you probably already heard of. To better understand God's word we need to know that God uses symbology to explain some things. This is the beast of the last days and he shall come to this earth before our true Savior, Jesus Christ does. V11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Horns as it is used here stand for power. In this verse you read that the beast has two horns like a lamb. Not as a lamb but like a lamb. That is very important to understand. Who is our lamb? Our lamb is Jesus Christ of course. He is the Lamb of God and we can read that in the book of John. John 1:29 KJV
John 1:36 KJV
So what we have here right from the start is a fake lamb. Some one that thinks he is the Lamb of God but is not. Now this beast spake as a dragon. Who is the dragon in God's word? The dragon is Satan. That is just one of the names Satan goes by in the word of God. Revelation 12:9 KJV
Revelation 20:2 KJV
V12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. Exerciseth means to make or do (in a very wide application, more or less direct) Here we have Satan directing the first beast (Rev 13:1-10) which is the political system of the last days. The thing is that he will not be directing it from where you might think he will be. Instead Satan will be here on this earth in person doing his directing. Satan will be cast out of heaven and down to this earth in the last days. Revelation 12:7-9 KJV
V13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, When Satan comes back to this earth he will have supernatural powers able to do miracles that will deceive many. He will be able to have lightning come down from heaven. V14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. Satan is the king of deception. Satan will say that the people should make a image to the 1st beast that was wounded by a sword. The sword is the word of God. Ephesians 6:17 KJV
V15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. This is why so many Christians may be afraid to be here during the tribulation, they think they are going to be killed. Satan is going to be here on earth saying that he is Jesus Christ. Satan can't have people thinking he is Jesus if he is going around having people killed. The only people that will be killed by him are the two witness so that scripture may be fulfilled. Revelation 11:3-7 KJV
Satan may want others that don't worship the image to be killed but it will not happen. Revelation 9:1-5 KJV
V16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: What is in our foreheads? Our brain, our mind, that which we use to think. What this is saying is that people will receive a mark in their mind and that mark is deception. Believing in things like a rapture so that you will not be here for the tribulation. Believing that the 1st one that comes to this earth with supernatural powers is Jesus Christ. The 1st one back with supernatural powers is not Jesus Christ but Satan himself. He will say that he is Jesus but as always he is lying and is not the true Christ. It clearly tells us in II Thessalonians 2:1-4 that the true Christ will not come until Satan comes back to this earth.II Thessalonians 2:1-4 KJV
To receive the mark in your hand means that you are doing the work of Satan. Things like spreading the lie of the rapture. Saying that you don't need to read the whole book of Revelation because you think you will be gone. Satan is the antichrist of the last days and will deceive many. V17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. The people that don't get the mark of the beast may not be able to buy or sell in the world that Satan will be running when he comes back. But not to worry, for God will always take care of His own! We do not want anything that Satan has to offer anyway. After all, what can he offer us? Satan is marked for death by God. Therefor, that's all Satan can offer you, is a one way ticket to hell. You don't want that, do you? V18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. No big mystery here, verse 11 already told us who the beast is, Satan. It is not someone on this earth now so don't bother trying to use someone's name that is here now. The beast is Satan. The antichrist is Satan. Satan has been going against God's will from the beginning chapters of Genesis. He is the one that thinks he is God and in the last days he will get some time here on earth to pretend that he is. Count here means a pebble (as worn smooth by handling), i.e. (by implication of use as a counter or ballot) a verdict (of acquittal) or ticket (of admission); a vote. The key word here is pebble. What is a pebble but a very small rock. Who is our Rock? Jesus Christ of course. He is the true Rock. What we have here is the fake rock, the antichrist of the last days. We can read that Jesus is our Rock in I Corinthians 10:4 I Corinthians 10:4 KJV
It takes many years for a pebble to become smooth. The pebble is also symbolic for people, a certain kind of people, the Kenites. The mark of the beast started in the early chapters of Genesis. It is a spiritual mark that was put on Cain, and his offspring the Kenites. To read about the beginning of the mark of the beast, take a look at our Bible study on the Garden of Eden . Satan will be coming back to this earth some time in the future, claiming to be Jesus Christ. Satan will have supernatural powers when he returns, able to deceive many. The mark of the beast is not a tattoo or some kind of chip that people think will be put in their body at that time. Satan is to smart for that. What we are talking about here, are things on a spiritual level. The mark of the beast is deception. What you think and what you do. Many already have the mark of the beast today. They believe and spread the lie of the rapture, claiming that they will not be here for the tribulation. Claiming they don't need to read the whole book of Revelation because they think they will be gone, that they will be raptured away. Well, God's word says otherwise. There is no rapture and believing that there is, is part of the mark of the beast. Related Bible studies: The "Generation of the Fig Tree" spoken of by JESUS in Matthew 24:32 -35, began in 1948 when Yisra'el became a nation again.
THE NATION OF ISRA'EL re-established in 1948 after the defeat of the Axis in 1945 God's Favorite Place (geographically) in the Universe Christ will reign in Jerusalem after the false messiah - satan is thrown into the pit during the thousand year Day of our Lord {The Millenium}- An age of teaching those who had no chance to learn truth. Our Father will send no one to hell out of ignorance! It does not mean a second chance, but a first chance for those who didn't have a real first chance. THE END OF THIS AGE IN THIS GENERATION (70-120 years from 1948) When you hear rumors of peace...peace...peace...and a one-world government [the beast of Revelation] is in place, or starting to - watch! The time is near. The false messiah will appear first for 5 1/2 months: Luke 21:9-38 (KJV) * keep in mind Jesus of speaking about His second Advent/His visible return to this Earth. 1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, *that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
*The offering was done in love.
5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which *there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
* Jesus is NOT talking about Titus, who beseiged Jerusalem in A.D. 70, He is referring to THIS GENERATION! Follow the subject...also see Matthew 24 - the end age is explained a little clearer there
7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. *There are a lot of false preachers setting things up for the deception, knowlingly or not, which will encompass most of the world at this time. 9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the * synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
* the synagogue of satan when he reigns in place of Christ for 5 1/2 months
13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
*God's elect will be delivered up before antichrist/satan for a specific purpose.
14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
*God's elect must allow the Holy Spirit only...to speak throught them at this time. It be the tongue spoken of by Jo'el the prophet...the Pentecost tongue, spoken 50 days following Christ's ressurection and, as on that day when God's elect stand before satan to be "converted", it will be the Holy Spirit speaking through them, and this will be understood in the very dialect of the county which people reside in at this time! God's elect are not to premeditate what we would say at this instant. See also Acts 2.
15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
*Knowing God's Word will prepare one for this day
16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to *death.
**'death" - another of satan's names. Betrayed by parents to be "converted", but to the false messiah or antichrist - satan himself, no one else.
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
*satan and his lieutenants will not be able harm as much as a hair on their heads.
19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the *desolation thereof is nigh.

23 *But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
*Those spiritually impregnated with false teaching and will be deceived into thinking satan is christ at this time. This is, if you will, "spiritual adultery". Get the picture...?

Genesis 2: 1 [KJV] 1Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 4These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 5And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. Adam would be that farmer. 6But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.l . note: Eve in Hebrew means: 'Mother of The Living', for through Mary came Jesus Christ, who would make etrrnal life possible to all who would have eyes to se and ears to hear! *READ THE SCRIPTURE WITH A STRONG'S CONCORDANCE, and see that there was, in fact, and it is documented and written: that other people were here on earth BEFORE Adam and Eve.

The Book of John: http://www.companionbiblecondensed.com/NT/John.pdf Pilate had Jesus' accusations written in three languages on a placard of some type, which was then fastened on the top of the cross at the Crucifixion. see John 19:20-22, and Matthew 27:37 In Matthew 27:37, a second title was fastened on the cross the Latin insciption I.N.R.I. The Latin letters INRI stand for: I - Jesus N - Nazereth R - King I - Judah. This infuriated the Sanhedrin because being the Kenites they were, appointed by the Roman government itself, and they complained to Pilate to have it removed and Pilate replied to them: see John 19:20-22 The Latin translation for the equivalent of the Hebrew inscription "Jesus the Nazerene King of the Jews" was I N R I., which is Jesus of Nazereth King of Yhuwdah or Judah in English. The "Jews'" leaders, who were of the sons of Cain (the Kenites) were really enraged. The 198 Appendixes to The Companion Bible

About The Bible We are not to become entangled in religions and superstitions which operate by traditions of men, which make void the Word of God. God sent the "spirit of slumber" upon certain people in this time, whereby, when they worship the sperious Messiah- the false Messiah, these people will still be innocent, for they did not fully understand God's Word. They are taught in the Milleneum. For God's elect to worship Satan is the unforgivable sin. This is impossible, I believe.You are to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through you, if delivered up before him. Do not premeditate what you are to say. God's Word heals and comforts through the Holy Spirit. In 1 Corinthians ch 11:10, Paul said "a woman should always keep her head covered". But, not by hair or a veil but the veil of Christ. Christ will return AFTER the false Messiah! He is seeking a 'virgin bride"-spiritually speaking-meaning, not deceived by Satan(the anti-Christ). This is because Satan's angels are about to be cast onto the Earth again and will seek wives, again, on the Earth, as in the days of Noah. These angels in Greek are called "nephilium". The giants in Noah's time were the offspring of Satans angels who were out to impregnate the daughters of Adam, in order to destroy the bloodline (umbilical cord-to umbilical cord) that Christ would decend from. This is also spoken of by Joel the prophet. That in the end times it will be as "in the days of Noah". When people gossip, they create their own stumbling blocks, and it impairs our ability to see and know truth. Don't listen to ratchet-jaw preachers who do not teach God's Word. They, maybe unknowingly, are doing Satan's work. When the Anti-Christ-(Satan) appears de facto on this Earth, remember, He is under orders from God not to harm His elect; Satan cannot harm you. You may be excommunicated from a few places, but it is probably the best thing that could happen to you in this time. You are blessed if you belong to a Church that teaches God's Word.

Was Jesus Christ a Jew Bible Study For one reason or another, some people do not believe that the Messiah was a Jew. In this Bible study we are going to take a look at the human genealogy of our Lord and see if Jesus Christ was a Jew or not. The first thing we need to know is who was the first Jewish person in the Bible. The word Jew is used ten times in the Old Testament and each time the same Hebrew word is used. Lets take a look at the definition of Jew from the Strong's Concordance. Jew 3064 Yehuwdiy (yeh-hoo-dee'); patronymically from 3063; a Jehudite (i.e. Judaite or Jew), or descendant of Jehudah (i.e. Judah).
We see that Jewish people by blood are a descendant of Judah. Judah is one of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel and he is the first Jewish person in the Bible. So now that we know Judah was the first Jewish person of the Bible, lets take a look at the genealogy of the Messiah. For that we need to go to the gospel of Luke. Luke 3:23 KJV V23 And Jesus Himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, The "as was supposed" in this verse means as reckoned by law. In Matthew 1:16 we are told that Joseph was begotten by Jacob (not the same Jacob that had his name changed to Israel by God) and was his natural son. Joseph could be the legal son of Heli, therefore, only by marriage with Heli's daughter Mary and be reckoned so according to law. Joseph was Heli's son in law because he was the husband of Heli's daughter Mary. So the genealogy given in Luke 3:23-38 is that of Mary, the mother of the Messiah. Lets skip down to verse 33. Luke 3:33-34 KJV V33 Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda ,
Juda 2455 Ioudas (ee-oo-das'); of Hebrew origin [3063]; Judas (i.e. Jehudah), the name of ten Israelites; also of the posterity of one of them and its region. KJV - Juda (-h, -s); Jude. The name Juda from verse 33 is of Hebrew origin and is spelled as Judah in the Old Testament. He was a son of Jacob and the first Jewish person in the Bible. God changed Jacob's name to Israel in Genesis 32:28 The Bible tells us that our Lord was a Jew because His mother Mary did have some Jewish blood in her as she was a descendant of Judah. Mary's cousin Elisabeth (Luke 1:36) was of the daughters of Aaron (Luke 1:5) which makes Elisabeth a descendant of Levi. This also means that Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ was a descendant of Levi on her mothers side. The Levitical priesthood are descendants of Levi. Jesus Christ was both a Jew and a Levite. This united the scepture (kingline-Judah) with the staff (priestline-Leviy). Strong's Hebrew Lexicon Search Results

Ethelbert William Bullinger Dr. E.W. Bullinger was born on December 15 in Canterbury, England. He was a direct descendent of the great Swiss Reformer Johann Heinrich Bullinger, a covenant theologian, who succeeded Zwingli in Zurich in December of 1531. Bullinger was educated at King's College, London. He was a recognized scholar in the field of biblical languages. The Archbishop of Canterbury granted him an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree in 1881 in recognition of his biblical scholarship. Some of his best known works are:
Dr. Bullinger died on June 6, 1913, in London, England, leaving behind a wonderful legacy of works to help us in the study of God's Word. The best known is "The Companion Bible". Bullinger began to work on the Companion Bible in 1908. When he died in 1913, he was ready with the Old Testament and the Gospels. Others have finished "The Companion Bible" after his death.. A searchable online Bible in many languages and versions The Aprocrypha Deuterocanonical versions (Apocrypha)The Deuterocanonical books are a collection of books included in some Bibles but omitted from others. The Bible Gateway excludes the Deuterocanonical versions from Bible searches by default, but gives you the option of including them. Why have we chosen to do this? The reason is that many Christians, particularly in the Protestant tradition, do not consider the books of the Deutrocanon to be canon --that is, they don't consider them to be equal in authority to the other books of the Bible. The Deuterocanonical books, thus, does not appear in most Protestant Bibles. Other Christian traditions, including the Roman Catholic church, do consider them canon. For more information, read a good brief description of the Deuterocanonical books and its history. We've decided to make the Deuterocanonical versions available to those who want them, but we don't display them by default to avoid confusing readers who aren't accustomed to seeing these "extra" books alongside their familiar Scriptures. If you want to include the Deuterocanonical versions in your Bible Gateway searches, you can do so by using the button below (although note that this will only affect Bible versions for which the Deuterocanonical books are available). You can turn off the Deuterocanonical books in the same manner. *There is nothing "old" about The Old Testament; for it told of the coming of The Lord Jesus Christ-Immanu'el: GOD WITH US. THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF NUMBERS IN SCRIPTURE Numbers are used in Scripture, not merely as in Nature, with supernatural design , but with spiritual significance , which may be summarized as follow (The whole subject may be studied in Dr. Bullinger's work on Number in Scripture ) :--
25 = 5 2 . Grace intensified.
The four perfect numbers , 3, 7, 10, and 12, have for their product the remarkable number 2,520. It is the Least Common Multiple of the ten digits governing all numeration; and can, therefore, be divided by each of the nine digits, without a remainder. It is the number of chronological perfection (7x360).
***notice to visitors of this website: The intended purpose of this webpage is to help provide us some tools to perhaps more accurately translate, transliterate, and, in doing so, understand what our Father's Word is telling us in deeper understanding. I hope to challenge the serious reader to look at what our Father tells us in The Bible, through scripture, as the Living Word in a futuristic sense, not just as The Law, and chronology with all the begets and begats, or just as stories. It is important that we view and understand scripture as informing those with eyes to see and hears to hear, how to receive salvation and live in this life, in the flesh, happily and healthy, and out of harm's way. And, importantly as well, friends, is to know the events of this time as it relates to Jesus Christ's foretelling to us in The N.T., of the events that consumate the end of this earth age, the coming of satan-the antichrist, and the season to expect the true Lord of Lord's - Jesus Christ's return to this earth. We are in the "..generation of the fig tree." spoken of by The Lord in The Parable of the Fig Tree in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, just to name but three places of which this time we live in TODAY is documented in The Bible. Let's not kid ourselves. God's Word and His Works are still going on and are still affecting our lives and are as applicable and important today as they were during the days of old! Imagine, as though one were really reading through tomorrow's newspaper. All through The Bible are many, many examples, or types - time after time, after time, of things that happened, happened again, and will happen again. Jesus speaks of the end of this earth age in: Matthew 24, Mark 13, and in Luke 21...these same topics are cross-referenced in many other places in both the "Old" and New Testaments; just to mention but one of many examples .
