6A REVELATION'S ANSWER FOR HUMAN SUFFERING.

LESSON 6a

REVELATION' S ANSWER FOR HUMAN SUFFERING.

Most of human suffering is due to our own personal choices, we make, as to our life-style, in foods we eat, amounts, our exercise and sleep habits, as of course, What we choose to believe, thus serve! If anyone thinks a alcoholic does not serve the god of booze, they are not observant. Nor those bound with any other of Satan's chains!  Why is this,   as God is love? He gave us a free-will, to make our choices.

1 John 4:8. "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love."

NOTE: If God is love, why all the hate and evil in this world?

Matthew 13:24-28. "Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?  He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?"

Note: Who but Satan is the enemy? He does the sowing. No, he can't read minds, but he has patient observers, who knows each of us better than we know self, thus they and he know, what "Bait to use to hook us, and to his will!"
BUT YOU say, " no way Jose'" he ain't got me to bite his hook, right?  OK, so then you have not EVER sinned, thus never broken any of the God's Commandments, not even in the spirit of the law? Never hated another? Never looked with lust in your heart at a beautiful woman/man, not your spouse? Never said God's name in vain [cussed?} Then congrads .YOU are only the second perfect human, Christ was the first!

Isaiah 14:12-14. "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!  For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High"

Note: This is Satan's  "I" disease, as in me myself and I syndrome.

Revelation 12:7-9. "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him"

Note: Time line for this passage is best suited in the beginning of the 3rd chapter of Genesis!  Now Satan deceived how much of the world? Part or ALL?

.Luke 10:18. "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven."

NOTE: Yes, God did create the angel who by his thoughts and actions became Satan, no longer perfect.

Ezekiel 28:15. "Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee."

Note:"Iniquity most of the time this can be translated to mean lawlessness, as God purpose for the Law was to reveal sin, or lawlessness! Much like a mirror shows us the dirt on our faces.

Genesis 1:26-27  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Note: many ask, "Who is this US? In the "Let us make man in our image"? They are the Three Members of the Godhead, which is best understood, as the Three Offices of God the Father, of God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit! All working as ONE, with the two allowing the Father to take the lead.

John 17:11. "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.'

Note: Please to expand upon this idea, read all of John17 th chapter, I will be a blessing unto you!

Genesis 3:1-7. "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?  And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, {VS4}Ye shall not surely die: 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. 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.  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.

Note: VS 4, is the Bible's first Recorded lie, Satan changed whole meaning of God, by his insertion of the one word, NOT, and most of earth believed this, that our death does not mean death, but only another form of existence! Yet this finds no fit in God' s  Word! Thus both Adam and Eve rebelled against God, believing Satan's lie over God's truth! Thus sin entered into the world! Why is this bad?  Read on......

Isaiah 59:1-2. "Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear."

Note: Sin separates the sinner from God, who is the ONLY source of life! But you may think, "So what?"

Romans 6:23. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Jeremiah 17:9. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"

Romans 8:7. " Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be"

Note: If you have heard or read any "News" of late, these last two verses, should tell you the why of evils..

Romans 5:12. "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"

Note: Christ so loved us all, that He paid the price we are not able.

Romans 6:16. "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"

Note: Whom do you obey God or men, and their Traditions?

Hebrews 2:15-18. "And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed 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 being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted."

Romans 5:17-19. "For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)  Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.  For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous."

Note: The Roman leaders in Jerusalem, thought Jesus had lost, the Church leadership, but for a few, thought He had lost, Satan and his rejoiced thinking they'd won,  Yet and thankfully so, Jesus turned this apparent defeat into victory, at His resurrection! It is both His sinless life, and His death for all sin, that HE Jesus made Redemption even possible, yet only only for those willing, with love to obey.His resurrection proved for us that in HIM there's live for us after death, but only by His Resurrecting Powers!

Romans 3:24. "Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:"

Note: this is only possible in Jesus Christ, and not no other being, not even the Father, Nor Mary!
That. saved by Mary, is nothing more than the traditions of men, that and $10.00 will get you a Latte at Starbucks!

Romans 3:25. "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;"

Note Propitiation. as in payment in full.

Isaiah 41:13. "For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

Are your problems bigger than Jesus Christ? They can't be! He formed the whole Cosmos! But what about Satan and sins, will they ever end?

Ezekiel 28:17-18. "Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee."

NOTE: Can anything still be said to exist, if they, or it, are reduced to ashes?  NO! This is the 2nd Death, more on this latter.

Revelation 21:1-5. "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful"

Note: are we sure none this evil will ever come again?

Nahum 1:9. "What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time"

Revelation 1:5-6. "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."

Note: When anyone wholly accepts Christ's love, and Him as their personal Savior, with love, them the Father sees only His own Son's righteousness and not us,  and for our confessed and repentant sins He has has forgotten, and looks only to His Son, IN YOU AND ME!

Revelation 1:20. "The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches."

Note:  Christ walks walks among us, in all the ages of men, unseen, by all.

Revelation 5:6. "And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth."

Note: Jesus Christ is spoken of as a Lamb some 27 times in Revelation! As in the Lamb slain.

Revelation 17:14. "These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful."

Note: Trails in the time of the end? YES, will some believers lose their lives? Yes, but all those, in Christ, shall live again with Jesus! Because He triumphs over the Dragon, the Beast and fallen Babylon.

1 John 4:8-9. "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him."

WHY is this. . . . so? Read.....

Genesis 1:27-31. "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.  And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.  And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.  And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."

Will you accept Jesus as Your Savior?
