The only way out is via the pretribulation imminent rapture of the church.
Tod be rapture ready is basically to be born again/saved by grace alone, through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone plus nothing ever forever. Matthew 7:21 onwards is about all those who reject this and attempt to enter Heaven via their works. They are Lordship Salvationists and hence false teachers, false prophets and basically, unsaved sinners.
Dear Gigi: Thankyou so much for responding to my comment about god,s great mercy. I want to elaborate a little bit. When I was a young man I did something very stupid and illegal. There must have been 20 cops near me but God made them look the other way or just be too absorbed in their conversations. If I had been arrested it would have been the end of my life and I would have gone to hell. That was 1976 and I still think about God,s great mercy every day. And this taught me to show the same kind of mercy to other people. When a man with a knife robbed me last march I did not call the police. I did not want him to go to hell just because I lost 85 bucks.
Psalm 37 seems to be a general overview of many of the preceding Psalms; although once again it should be emphasized that the chronology is not in order but the verse about the righteous never being foresaken (v. 25) shows it is likely written after many others.
There are many examples found in other Psalms. For example; we see in verse 13 about God laughing at the wicked; which is mentioned in Psalm 2. Another example found in Psalm 10 is in verse 17 about the arms of the wicked which are broken. We also find verses elsewhere in scripture; including the N.T. One such case in verse 11 is quoted by Jesus in the Gospels in Matthew 5:5.
We even see elements of predestination in verses 23 to 24. Ephesians 2:10 talks of good works before the foundation of the world prepared for us to perform. Verse 24 gives us the concept of "Perseverance of the Saints" also echoed in Proverbs 24:16. There is the concept largely covered in Psalm 119 about having the law of God in their hearts (v. 31) Verse 34 could be a Millennial reference; exhorting us to wait on the Lord; such a theme of patience is found in numerous other passages along with promises of the Saints (as well as David) to rule when the Kingdom of God comes to earth. ( Jeremiah 30:9; etal).
The main idea here seems to be the eternal destinies of the righteous and the wicked and the brevity of this life. Passages such as in verse 28 are not popular today. As an individual; we should not seek vengeance on anyone in particular; but we should understand that the suffering of the church at large in the world where persecution is much greater than in this country; for example needs to be recompensed through Divine justice. We all are saved from wrath and being enemies of God and therefore we need to be humble in preaching the Gospel but also deliver the whole truth; including eternal judgment for the damned who will not repent.
Dear Josephine, i will pray for You and Donald today.
Dear LORD God, we come before You today in the name of Jesus and ask that You will help Josephine and Donald in will the matters concerning them in this time. We know that You know all about them and their situation and that You know the end from the beginning already! We place their need in Your hands today and trust that You hear our prayers and are willing to provide for our needs when we ask of You to do so. Thank You, Father! Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today in the name of Jesus and ask that You have mercy on Leah's niece. Remove all obstacles in her life that keeps her down and struggling. We ask that You will make Yourself known to her in ways she cannot doubt. We ask that You draw her to You and give her peace and freedom from sin's grip. We ask that You will lift up her countenance and raise up within her a glad heart and a believing soul in Your salvation, mercy, and goodness. Thank you for this young woman, Father, may she always walk the way the Spirit guides her to walk. Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today in the name of Jesus and ask that You will give James restored health and freedom from sickness. We ask that you bless his body in every way and take away anything that hinders his health and well being today. Amen.
We can make every effort to keep focused on Jesus, who brings us to the Father and sends to us the Holy Spirit to live in us, whereby we have the amazingly wonderful favor to have the wholeness of God dwell in us. If we have the Spirit in us, we have the Father and Jesus in us. If we are justified by Jesus, we stand justified before the Father and the Spirit, If we are accepted by the Father, we are accepted by Jesus and the Holy Spirit. All of this is through Jesus, who, by His amazingly sufficient sacrifice, death, and resurrection, has become the perfect High Priest and Mediator before God for us who believe. Our God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit made the perfect way for us to no longer be condemned for our sins, but to instead, have eternal life in and with Jesus and the Father and the Holy Spirit! We are so blessed! Hallelujah to God, the Magestic Glory, Sovereign of all that is.
regarding psalm 86:13 "For great is thy mercy toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell" This verse has so much meaning for me because that's exactly what God did.

Hi, The Bible, among other things is a book of prophecy, some already fulfilled, some in the process of being fulfilled and some for the future, but the fact that some have been fulfilled gives us faith to believe that they will all be fulfilled in time.
I see some of the prophecies in the book of Revelation being fulfilled around us today, amazing to think that over 2,000 years ago it was foretold that a time would come when mankind would be 'destroying the earth', (Rev:11:18), I'd suggest that my generation is the only one in mankind's history that could be accused of that, another global conference on climate change is soon to take place yet if they looked at the Bible they'd learn their actions are in vain.
We are also seeing part fulfilment of Revelation chapter 6 (the 4 horsemen), verse 6 even mentions the price of wheat and barley going up, this as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. On that subject could it be said that, 'the kings of the earth and of the whole world' (Rev:16, 14-16) are gathered there? certainly, this conflict has drawn the attention of the whole world. Interesting to remember of course that 'Armageddon' is God's war so he will be the victor.
Another point to ponder from Revelation, who is the great whore Babylon the Great? Would it be Great Britain? the British Empire was the greatest world power in human history, a Greater Babylon perhaps? It's power based on conquest in the name of 'Christianity' but promoting false teaching, slavery etc.
By way of cross reference Daniel chapter 2 verses 28-44 may be of interest, if the British Empire was the greatest in mankind's history, then it would be reasonable to presume that it would be part of the image explained by Daniel, the legs of iron perhaps? going down into the feet of a mixture of iron and clay, the Anglo/American world power? all of course to be conquered by the kingdom of God that Jesus taught his followers to pray for, only then will,'God's will be done on earth'.
This sounds like a question from a quiz or game question.
If you look up "Judged" in search bar on this site it has 3 pages of people whom "Judged " as referred to in the Bible, If you only need the names listed in Judges it appears they're all on the 1st page.
Two of my Favorite Judges were Samuel & Deborah but only one of them is mentioned in the books of Judges.
The Jewish Sabbath has always been Saturday. It was given solely to the nation of ancient Israel. There is no such thing as a Christian Sabbath day. Nowhere in the New Testament (or Covenant) are Christians ever commanded to keep the sabbath. From Romans to Revelation, no such command is ever given to the Church. In fact, the Christians were commanded to not judge anyone concerning a sabbath day.
Romans 14:5 "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind."
Galatians 4:10-11 "Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain."
Colossians 2:16 "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:"
You may already know; Isaiah 63 is similar wording on the winepress. Revelation can be a lifetime study I know for me the understanding I had on some parts of Revelation years ago are different than I have today. I do not understand if the winepress/battle is where the vesture is dipped in blood is before Jesus returns. Maybe I misunderstood what you said.
Rev. 14 starts with the Lamb/Jesus standing on Mount Zion with the 144000 first fruits. I do not see Jesus going back up. Just a thought; we can learn and benefit from each other and in love and guidance of the Holy Spirit, the truth will be revealed.
I did and the result takes you to Matt 5. God bless.

It seems your comment went through just fine. I am glad to hear from you today. How are things going for you?
Clearly, they were evil doers and idolators. (Verses 14-15)
Their obedience to Jonadab carried some weight with God ( Ex. 20:12)
