There are 11 uses in the KJV
Genesis 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
Notice, the Bible says he was the “king” and “the priest,” not the son of God, nor the spirit of God—and being a king and priest, he must have been a man. If, as the king of Salem (meaning peace), he brought “bread and wine” which were symbolic of the forthcoming life and death of the Son of God, could he not also be symbolic of […]
According to Christ in Mark 8:38, He was born into an “adulterous and sinful generation.” Paul said He was in the “likeness of sinful flesh” (Romans 8:3). “Verily he took not on him the nature of angels [pure and holy]; but he took on him the seed [sperm/nature] of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered […]
We cannot be saved by our works, yet we cannot be saved without them. The reason? The judgment to come (consider Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, 2 Corinthians 5:10).
“There are conditions to our receiving justification and sanctification, and the righteousness of Christ. I know your meaning, but you leave a wrong impression upon many minds. While good works will not save even one soul, yet it is impossible for even one soul to be saved without good works. 1SM 377.1 (letter to AT Jones)

“The Law and The Gospel”
1. Christ’s favorite theme was the paternal tenderness and abundant grace of God; He dwelt much upon the holiness of His character and His law; He presented Himself to the people as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Let these be the themes of Christ’s ministers. Present the truth as it is in Jesus. Make plain the requirements of the law and the gospel. Tell the people of Christ’s life of self-denial and sacrifice; of His humiliation and death; of His resurrection and ascension; of […]
Steps to the Father

Hebrews 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, [that] thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount.
Psa 77:13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Daniel 8:15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
Daniel 8:16 And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, […]
Matthew 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
Matthew 17:23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
Luke 9:22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests […]
“…He permitted Him to leave the bosom of His love, the adoration of the angels, to suffer shame, insult, humiliation, hatred, and death.” SC 13.1
“…As he [Jacob] slept, a strange light broke upon his vision; and lo, from the plain on which he lay, vast shadowy stairs seemed to lead upward to the very gates of heaven, and upon them angels of God were passing up and down; while from the glory above, the divine voice was heard in a message of comfort and hope. Thus was made known to Jacob that which met the need and longing of his soul—a Saviour. With joy and gratitude he saw revealed a way by which he, a sinner, could be restored […]
I have personally seen online where a lot of people have associated this HR 6666 bill with the mark of the beast, but… is it? Let’s consider:
Revelation 13:18 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.
Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his […]

Greetings brothers and sisters. I have prepared this message with much prayer and study. It’s my hope that at the conclusion of this message you will be galvanized to search the Scriptures with a renewed zeal and a greater confidence in God’s word over the esteemed opinions of men. Any time one sets out to discuss religious freedom the story of Peter and John in Acts 3, 4, and 5 becomes a key text. This story is pregnant with meaning and is fitting for our subject today. Looking at this formative time we […]
Here are a few verses from the Old Testament. There are 1318 times the word city(ies) is used. I’ve skipped MOST of the verses, so please study this subject more for yourselves.
Genesis 11:4-5 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, […]
Rev. 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Rev. 2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
Rev. 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

Is Jesus Almighty God?
A question I’ve received often by many sincere, truth-seeking individuals is: Is Jesus the Almighty God spoken of in the Bible? The short answer, I tell them, is no. Of course, there are some difficult passages with which to wrestle, so in this brief article, I intend to tackle this matter and, hopefully, provide the reader a definitive answer that is easily understood and easy to explain. However, to answer this question with biblical soundness, we must answer a couple of other questions, first. So, let’s begin this study in God’s word by asking what is probably the simplest […]

Christ is shown as being in the midst of the churches:
The last church shows Christ being without, not within:
The sixth seal speaks of natural disasters:
The sixth trumpet shows moral degeneracy:
The systems of the world […]
The Hebrew and Greek words “pestilence,” in their first uses, are found and considered below:
(Link for “Be Anxious for Nothing.”)
Exodus 5:3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

This school report was done by Christina Hilton based on the video at the bottom of this article:
According to the Bible we all have a spirit and God also has a Spirit, which we most often call the Holy Spirit. We are made in God’s image, but most people would say that our spirit and God’s Spirit are completely different. When our spirit leaves us, we are dead Ecclesiastes 9:6. Originally, when God created man, He breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. A body plus the breath equals a living soul, if our breath or spirit leaves us, we are just a dead body and that breath (spirit) goes back to God. Is God different? Can He separate from His Spirit? When Jesus […]
As children of the first Adam, we partake of the dying nature of Adam. But through the imparted life of Christ, man has been given opportunity to win back again the lost gift of life, and to stand in his original position before God, a partaker of the divine nature. “As many as received him,” writes John, “to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” “He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of […]
