Defining God’s People

Lesson

1. Will there be people that will not here and/or act properly on God’s word? Revelation 12:9 ... called the devil, and satan, which deceiveth the whole world__: ...

There is hope even though we all have been deceived! Romans 3:23

In Revelation God revealed what the near future would be and showed it to John to write down. For a warning sound to all that will hear. A blessing comes to those who will keep those things that are written... Rev. 1:1,2,3,

*I would like to tell you a story:

A tidal wave alarm went off one night on a Pacific Island. A woman woke up and got her family to high ground. As she looked from her vantage point, she saw some people's lights coming on and off. It looked like they were going back to sleep. Some believed the warning, got up and went to the beach to see the wave come ashore. The wave wiped most of the town away!

By believing and acting properly on her belief of what she heard, she and her family were safe when the tidal wave came ashore.

Revelation 12:10,11,12,17, God gives a warning of a better vantage point before;

Rev. 13:13to18, the image of the beast, 666 The image test.

2. We all need to ask ourselves if we are being deceived? Has Jesus provided us a way for us to know truth from error?

2 Timothy 3:15to17 :15 “And that from a ___child _ thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee __wise___ unto ____salvation___ through faith which is in Christ Jesus. :16 ___All__ ___scripture____ is given by _____inspiration ___ of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in _righteousness__:

:17 That the man of God may be perfect, ____throughly furnished ___ unto

____all ____ good works.”

Notice this second letter to Timothy, a half Hebrew and a half Greek (Acts 16:1to5) was taught

the Hebrew scriptures from a child by his mother and grandmother.(2 Timothy 1:5) The old testament is the scriptures of the new testament church of Christ. And as God inspired others to write, these writings were added only by the test of “To the law and to the testimony:”Isaiah 8:20

Keep in mind that even the devil tried to misuse scripture on Jesus. But Jesus used them correctly as the Spirit guided Him. Matthew 4:5to7: John 16:13

3. What is the most important gifts given by the Spirit of God, through faith in Jesus?

Rev.12:10 “... Now is come __salvation____, and __strength___, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: ...” (Romans 1:16,17,18)

c. Rev. 12:11 “ And they ____loved____ not their ____lives___ unto the death.”

These people have a relationship of love with Jesus. (James 4:7,8,10) Note: There were three young men in Daniel chapter 3: that had to go through a image test and God delivered them. Dan. 3:16,17,18,24to29 What a testimony of love they have, You can too!

(Dan. 3:1;2:37,38;7:23,gold=Babylon kingdom=beast) (Dan. 3:1,5,6 60cubits high, 6cubits wide, 6 instruments) A test of who is God in your life and who’s commandments do you obey.

(Exodus 20:3to17, Jeremiah 51:17) Acts 5:29; Matthew 15:3to9 (“Daniel 12:4”)

5. If you fine that where you are studying the word they do not teach, the keeping all ten of God’s holy law, and all of God’s word, what should do?

7. In Revelation 12:17 can the text be defined to help us know more about the people of God just before the mark and image of the beast? (Rev. 14:6,7to12,14)

Our lovingly Father disciplines us for our good. Hebrews 12:5to11
