The Great Day of the Lord:pensive::pensive::pensive:

1For, behold, the day cometh, it burneth as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith [The LORD] of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings; and ye shall go forth, and gambol as calves of the stall. 3And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make, saith Jehovah of hosts.

4Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.

5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come. 6And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers; lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”

American Standard Version
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies underneath thy feet? :pensive:

In the Scriptures God says, "When the time came, I listened to you, and when you needed help, I came to save you." That time has come. This is the day for you to be saved. :pensive:

2 Corinthians 6:2
New King James Version
“For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” :pensive:

Come, right where you are :pensive: !”GOD” can even meet you, there there right where you are.

I dare you to try HIM,,if GOD can Meet Moses on The Backside of A MOUNTAIN! In A “Burning Bush”!
He can meet you too!.:pensive:

For even this site can be your “Burning Bush” The place That you met “GOD”.:pensive:

I am nothing but a voice crying in the Wilderness! Meaning nothing but a mere Messenger boy:pensive:

Interesting sets of scripture you have provided here.

Do you feel/“see” that Elijah has come already?

I would be Intrested to hear this person out! :) Excited even…lol
 
'For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven;
and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble:
and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts,
that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
But unto you that fear My Name
shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings;
and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.'
(Malachi 4:1-2)

Hello @PloughBoy,

This verse is part of 'The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.', yet the warning is for all men. For TODAY is indeed the day of salvation, the door is open for all men to come to the Father, through Christ Jesus His Son, to receive forgiveness of sin, and the promise of life in Christ Jesus.

'But these are written, that ye might believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God;
and that believing ye might have life
through His name.'
(John 20:31)

Thank you
In Christ Jesus
Chris
 
'But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested,
being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ
unto all and upon all them that believe:
for there is no difference:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood,
to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past,
through the forbearance of God;
To declare, I say, at this time His righteousness:
that He might be just,
and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.'
(Rom 3:21-26)

'Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is none other name
under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved.'
(Act 4:12)
 
'For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven;
and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble:
and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts,
that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
But unto you that fear My Name
shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings;
and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.'

I understand what you are saying and do not deny the “TRUTH”. For I have statement of Faith posted on TalkJESUS for all to see concerning my Stand on “ The Holy Scripture” which I believe is The Word of GOD without error.

Thank you, for your reply. And I am not against your reply, noted.

Thank you, 1st. Let me make this introduction statement to not offend many. I will state what I believe and nothing more. It does not mean what I believe is a “Absolute”. For Those who do not know what the word “Absolute” means in “Christian Theology” please look it up and do not think that you understand the word “Absolute” when we are refer to the things of GOD.

So my answer or reply here is not an “Absolute”. But a Expression. I do hope I made that clear. To not cause an mis understanding Argument.


The Use of the Expressions about “Ezekiel” character and name usage, can convey a “Theological” thought pattern.

If you know the whole story and have read all about his life written in the Bible. And How “GOD” used him in many different ways. You are familiar with him and character.
So if I got to know a certain Christian and his character and certain ways and observed how GOD has and is using him, everyday, observing him at, work, at his house, on the golf course, picnics, even on field trips, or skiing in the mountains, that we might be talking,
then I might say, you remind me of “Ezekiel”! And we bust out laughing. And when I explain to him how he reminds me of “Ezekiel”! Some one else might ask me, what do you think about “Jim” I laugh and I might say; he, reminds me of “Ezekiel” the way he acts and moves, he has The Spirit of “Ezekiel. I might say to another who knows about the life of “Ezekiel”. But I cannot say that to another who do not really know the complete life of “Ezekiel”.

Like many of people I know; you might hear ,that “I am a hard “Task Master” and they laugh, we know Exactly what that mean, “Moses”, for those who are very well Nourished in The Life of Moses.

[the term “Task Masters” in a certain context is not the slave masters in Egypt”].

Like my youngest daughter when she was about 13, she said Dad is “The Prophet of Doom and we all laugh we know why! She knew the stories of these prophet’s, “Elijah, Elisha, Micah, Jeremiah, Nahum, Amos,Zephaniah, Zachariah, Jeremiah, Nathan, Samuel, Daniel and the list goes on! She went to a “Christian Grammar School”! Most of the time they use Bible characters and stories to teach math problems , English, Art, Auditorium plays, literature, They didn’t use “Tom and Betty and the dog name Flip! They used real biblical characters!

They didn’t sing “The Farmer and The Dell”

They song: “It’s Going to Rain, you better get ready and bear this in mind, GOD Showed Noah the Rainbow sign, it will not be water this time, but Fire next time”!

They where more Dooms day Prophets than anything! Nobody wanted to see a “Prophet of The True GOD show up!:joy:

They like those Prosperity Prophets, but they lock up “Jeremiah’s”!

Ok “moving in The Spirit of “EZEKIEL”! That can happen throughout until Jesus arrive depends on a person calling.

This is not a Absolute, but a “Biblical Motif” could be said.

Just like the term “Anti-Christ”, there will always be The Spirit of “Anti- Christ” even now. Until Fire rains down from Heaven at the end of The 1000 year reign. As Proclaim The Bible.

Thank you for the response!

In all transparency, I have not read the Bible front to back. At the beginning of my journey, long story short, I ended up going to the Bible by myself, and started Matt-John and wrestled with those for about 2years. Then moved on to Acts- John3, for about 2 years, then Revelation(read it a few times, but not wrestling with that one at the moment. A bit much for me- “food” wise)

I have attempted probably 5 times now, to read the Bible front to back. And can’t seem to make it past Judges. From getting side tracked following different “leads” to time constraints. As I pick up something new every time I start over. Which needless to say, I haven’t made it into the Prophets. I have looked up verses through different ones from conversations, and read that particular chapter that a verse is being quoted from, so it’s patchy for me. Well, I have read daniel, as I was in a heated one about Revelation going back and forth between the two.

So before I go any further, on this particular response, I will read up on Ezekiel, so I can at least keep up:)

Any particular books you would suggest to get me started?

Hey, do not be Discourage, it is not easy to read the Bible straight through, the Journey is a hard one! Just start with Matthew and go all they way to “Revelation” “NIV” cheap Good used“Thompson Chain Reference Bible” would be a excellent choice. For this 1st. Journey.

Now this is like a great task, you got to pray, you going to fall asleep, that Devil and your Flesh, and people is going to be in your way! :joy: But keep fighting until you get “Spiritual Muscle”.This is the only way you can build your spiritual muscle, keep getting back up!

It is not easy, you have “Invisible creatures” as well trying their best to keep you from completing this task.

But once you make it, and do not skip workouts you will understand.

Then you have that Journey from “Genesis to Revelations” now that one is “ Mt. Everest”, you will need “Oxygen Tanks” for That one! You will get “Mountain Altitude Sickness”,
“Edema”, and you are going to “Hallucinate” and have nightmares, and The Forces of Darkness to keep you from The Mission you are on! But you will develop experience and spiritual muscle to make this Climb. And building more muscle to complete this journey.

Something does not want you to know or see the complete picture!

You will have to pray, for the strength to do it! fast a little food only for strength, wake up in the middle of the night, some times early morning, some times stay at home by yourself!

Now I hope you are getting the idea, why it is so hard to complete the mission, you could do it in a week or two weeks top!

Then you will understand.

There will be mountains, Deserts, rivers, mud, sand, droughts, Oasis, dark places, lonely paths, valleys, just keep going. It is a journey, a great task that many do not want to make. But if you choose,
:pensive:

As yourself.

You do not need a 12 step reading plan, just read, next time around study it. 1st just pray every time you read, for insight and for him to write every word you read on the table of your heart [meaning your very being].
That mean do not skip a word and if you do not understand what it means, this could be your “Desert place” full of sand. But keep moving.

Here is a book to read when or while you take a very short break when you stop at the Oasis, or mid- Mountain Cafe in the mountains!

“This present Darkness” by Frank Peretti. Used copy, cheap!

That will put a bounce in your step and things will go bump in the night! :joy:
And it will help you complete your journey!:joy:

Stay on this path and let no one divert you from it. No matter how Enticing they maybe! Stay in the Path it builds spiritual muscle, and do not take the service roads, do not take the service road.

For every mountain there is a valley here.

The bigger The Mountain, The Deeper the Valley will be. The Higher The Mountain, The Higher The Climb,

PS, The Higher The Mountain The Higher The Fall:eyes:

So do not take no “Wooden Stakes” with you! May sure you have a Anchor that will Hold!:worried:


Do not listen to that “Dime Store” Cowboy Stuff! You will know it when you hear it.

And without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto him ; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.

I hope this will help you on your journey to “The Celestial City”

Sorry not “Ezekiel” but “ Elijah” I have been listening to the Book of “Ezekiel” read by “Alexander” Scourby” At night for about 2 months! Plus Jeremiah and Isaiah” and I hear them in my dreams:joy: And “Ezekiel” it seems is taken front seat. Since he was a “Priest and Prophet”!:pensive:

Sorry my bad. “In The Spirit of “Elijah” and Not in “The Spirit of “Ezekiel” is what I should have been addressing.

Forgive me of my error

Indeed I find it to be a daunting task! So much time and people!
Mt Everest is really the perfect analogy…lol…And have already experienced some pretty intense things since I started. Can very much relate to what you speak, and understand quite well what you are saying. As I’ve been in that desert, and find myself in valley’s now. Certainly experience the quick sand too! As I’m 10 years into this at the moment. (Still green though!)

Certainly backlash from those around me, but it was more because of being out of balance with it. Too much time at one time, neglecting my life in the process. It literally consumed every aspect of me. Almost became obsessive….but haven’t experienced any “evil” or “creatures” that you speak of. But I certainly have faced myself. And it was dark and ugly. Very hard to face!

But for me, the trouble getting past Judges, was because of what I came to know through spending majority of my time in the NT. I got to know the mind and Heart That Jesus displayed and showed forth! How he spoke. How he thought. How he lived. And how he Loved. I profiled him! The God I came to know through Jesus(The Heart and the mind!), was not the God that I was reading in the OT. At least from Leviticus up to Judges. (so far) Makes it hard to read it, as it seems so foreign to what “raised” me in the beginning. As I “grew up” on Matt-John. Then Acts through John 3. Almost like nails on a chalk board!!!

And the side tracking that happened for me, was the “seeming” contradictions, that had me going back and forth between O and N. Starting first and foremost with the assembling of the Bible itself.
(A question that came to me, after going through the denominations in my city: If the Bible is the word of God, and he never changes, then why does the Bible(number of books) change per denomination and culture(?)- Even wording; Which was a journey in itself:/

So, I would start over, reading different translations…thinking maybe I missed something. Only for something new to be brought to my attention…and so on…. and back around.

I certainly did find myself taking side roads. And has actually given the most beautiful perspective of the True aspects of the fullness of our God. So vast and so deep…That no one Religion on this planet can hold it. Time itself broke apart for me, and came to realize the implications of “The end is near” and the “Kingdom at hand”. Pretty profound stuff.

But I do hear what you are saying, and truly appreciate what you have given me. I’ve carried that wooden stake already, and am Firmly anchored on this rock. Unmovable by any man, and can only be moved by the Spirit, when and how it says to move! Makes me comes across kinda cold sometimes. Harsh. Arrogant. But it is my confidence in what carries me, holds me, teaches me, and heals me on a daily bases.

At current, I am side tracked from my studies, as experiences, insights, growth and life circumstances have pulled me in other directions of understandings, and are creating new beginnings for me. Directions pointing to just go straight to the Prophets, as that (for me) seems to be where I need to be. As these are the Witness. The Law already written within:) Hence my response to this post. It perked my “ears”…lol…So I figured I’d reach out!

Lol…all good!

I didn’t even catch it. As I started reading Ezekiel. Got up to chapter 16! Everything happens for a reason;) Quite the graphics! And eye opening!

Sorry for the late response! Been trying to respond all day! All in his timing though right;)

Anywhoo…I will seek it out, see where I end up and get back!

It literally consumed every aspect of me. Almost became obsessive….but haven’t experienced any “evil” or “creatures” that you speak of. But I certainly have faced myself. And it was dark and ugly. Very hard to face!

But for me, the trouble getting past Judges, was because of what I came to know through spending majority of my time in the NT. I got to know the mind and Heart That Jesus displayed and showed forth! How he spoke. How he thought. How he lived. And how he Loved. I profiled him! The God I came to know through Jesus(The Heart and the mind!), was not the God that I was reading in the OT. At least from Leviticus up to Judges. (so far) Makes it hard to read it, as it seems so foreign to what “raised” me in the beginning. As I “grew up” on Matt-John. Then Acts through John 3. Almost like nails on a chalk board!!!

And the side tracking that happened for me, was the “seeming” contradictions, that had me going back and forth between O and N. Starting first and foremost with the assembling of the Bible itself.
(A question that came to me, after going through the denominations in my city: If the Bible is the word of God, and he never changes, then why does the Bible(number of books) change per denomination and culture(?)- Even wording; Which was a journey in itself:/

So, I would start over, reading different translations…thinking maybe I missed something. Only for something new to be brought to my attention…and so on…. and back around.

I certainly did find myself taking side roads. And has actually given the most beautiful perspective of the True aspects of the fullness of our God. So vast and so deep…That no one Religion on this planet can hold it. Time itself broke apart for me, and came to realize the implications of “The end is near” and the “Kingdom at hand”. Pretty profound stuff.

But I do hear what you are saying, and truly appreciate what you have given me. I’ve carried that wooden stake already, and am Firmly anchored on this rock. Unmovable by any man, and can only be moved by the Spirit, when and how it says to move! Makes me comes across kinda cold sometimes. Harsh. Arrogant. But it is my confidence in what carries me, holds me, teaches me, and heals me on a daily bases.

At current, I am side tracked from my studies, as experiences, insights, growth and life circumstances have pulled me in other directions of understandings, and are creating new beginnings for me. Directions pointing to just go straight to the Prophets, as that (for me) seems to be where I need to be. As these are the Witness. The Law already written within:) Hence my response to this post. It perked my “ears”…lol…So I figured I’d reach out!
Quick, short notes:
Notice how I use “The Deity” wording in certain contexts. At this time just notice, but keep reading. I do not use, titles to sound good, it means something.
Example:
“The WORD of GOD”
“The GOD ALMIGHTY”
“The TRIUNE GOD”
“The Christ of GOD”
“Jesus The SON of GOD”

Ok, just notice the context when I Express those Titles only.

“Never mind the Titles, like “ Jehovah, Elohim, understand. Those titles are Important. But not now.

Jesus is The GOD of The Old Testament too!:joy: Many do not know it or can perceive it, nor want too:joy:

But like I have said: do not climb in through the windows or come in by the side “DOOR”! For MANY have taken That “ROUTE”! And “Misery loves company”:eyes:

Please understand, I am not talking about one’s “SALVATION” here. But MANY will think I am talking about Salvation!

Just watch some of the responses! And it is a reason why they think that way!:eyes:

Just stay on the “Straight and narrow, and do not be Persuade by your feelings, it is called “ discipline“. :eyes: You will be “Tempted” to jump around from book to book:joy:

But the Diversions are going to come!
You must Realize and do not be deceive, you are at “WAR”! You got 3 enemies, working to keep you off of That “PATH”.
You are Traveling through a “Foreign LAND”. A place You AIN’T never Traveled before!:joy:

And Also while you are traveling, you better pick a Book Entitle, “The Pilgrims Progress”. The old broken English copy! It is free online, you got the easy reading copy, then you have middle easy reading copy, but if I was you, I would read that hard reading one, with all that broken English copy, and ask GOD to Give you Understanding!

If you are the kind of “Pilgrim” I think you are, you are in for. “Treat” The Abundant Life! Is going take on a completely different meaning than The American Dream!

But not one dull moment! “If you Choose to take This Mission”:eyes:

“Count The Cost” but Once you put your Hands To The Plow. And choose This Path. You better stay on it.:eyes: They got “Wolves” out here and they got teeth, and The Reason the Bible says “Wolves” is because they Travel in “Packs”!

I will take note of your….challenge(?). And keep it close:)

You have made note, from what I remember that there is one standing at the door! A messenger in the wilderness….I believe you called yourself.

This too me, would say you can sense the point we are at….

So I will ask you this….
Is it relevant at >This< Point? To start this “Challenge”, as one who already Knows the one Crucified and risen?
Not speaking of Salvation myself!
 
Always hold this dear. As you travel this Genesis route straight to The Book Of Revelation, GOD who is Your Father will open your eyes to Precious ETERNALNuggets place before your feet in hidden places that many have missed .:pensive:

And indeed he has! I have experienced a lot of that Psalm! And said some of the very concepts (in my own way!) Amazing!!! One Spirit;)

Which that Law, is already written upon my heart; my conscious bearing witness, convicting and even justifying! and those precepts,(principles) are given through his prophets. Which I have picked up on in “patches” that are glaring in comparison to the rest written. Such as the “History” books contained….And when the general public is presented with it, I have gotten gnashing of teeth, and has caused much weeping within my self. I can Feeeel this Psalm. Oh so deeply….

I have every intention on doing what you say:) As I presented first, that the attemp has already been made! Multiple times:). Yet you seem to think it is something dark, that keeps me from finishing…which is understandable! Yet for my own, I have a leading in me, that directs my paths! To certain “books” contain therein. Such as those prophets! As these ARE the testimonies! The witnesses! The barers of The Word itself! How could such a leading be of the darkness?

Especially considering that the Bible itself, is a culmination of Thousands of years, put together. With the prophets s smack dab in the middle;)

-The Past- /The Present/ The Future
(All happening simultaneously!)
-In the Eternal Now!-

I sincerely feel your words, and truly do appreciate them! But as I said before….There is only One that moves me, and follow after no man(respectful bow)

When time permits, and the prompting from Spirit is present, I will take up this challenge. And will keep your guidance close:)

Oh, yes I do understand everything you have said.

The Word of GOD is always powerful for The True Child of GOD no matter which way a person reads it “Skip hop or Jump”. It can never fail. You do not even have to read some books ever in life, you can just read psalm and that’s it for it will never effect your salvation.

I have know hundreds of pastors who have confess they never read the whole book, never!

And many more Religious leaders both male and females who leads millions. I have not one thing against them.

But I am so glad a. Old Pastor told me after I got saved. Go read your Bible from front to Back before you do anything, Get to know your Bible as One Book. :pensive: :pensive::pensive:

He said do it “NOW” before it is to late, if you wait to long, you will never do it or Have The Time to do it.:pensive:

So before I did anything I must have read my Bible 5-7 as whole in one year and the New Testament by it self along I worn it out! L outside reading the whole book as a whole, 1977 March. I began journey, and every I read it like you said. I learn or saw something brand new. After every complete reading close book and Thought “OH MY GOD”! Faster than a Flash of “LIGHTNING” a picture of The Whole Book Concerning, “I Do Not Know what call it!

It is not a”Revelation” it is not a “Illumination” it is not a “Beatific Vision” nor any kind of “ Theophany”!

But a Flash Picture that Zoomed. Like a flash of all “Jesus Maternal Grandmothers”

Example: Lots daughters, Jesus grandmothers, Rahab is a grandmother too, then Judah slept with his daughter in law who trick him by play the Role of a woman in the street, and how Jesus the only True Israel The Seed of many nations, and you find what a True is “Hebrew” and what it means. And every else has a lexicon and a dictionary explaining what a Jew or Hebrew is spreading down centuries, like a Hot Branding Iron! And you standing in the middle of The Road alone! “don’t they see this, Clear as day! And if some see it, they only half “Partial” vision. And you stand there saying, ok, ok ,ok. :joy:

You are out number, so go into a corner and shut up!:joy:

And wait on the next Bus.

I hope you get the picture, your Salvation can never be revoke, is my belief. And no matter how you study, it will all profit you, with great returns.

So fear not your salvation is Secure.
