GOD’S ADVERSARIES


 

Before the individual, true, born again, Child of God can have the power of God to tread on serpents and scorpions, the Child of God must be free of all vices that the enemy might use against the individual to overpower him. In other words, the True Child of God must be absolutely free of all sins, transgressions against God, Jesus Christ and anyone else and not permit themselve any type of aggression, bad mental attitude, such as anger, resentment or oppression in their heart. They must love their enemy as Jesus Christ taught (Matthew 5:44; Luke 6:22).

 

[But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you]

 

Four commands in Matthew 5:44:

 

1. Love your enemies.

2. Bless them that curse you.

3. Do good to those that hate you.

4. Pray for your persecutors.

 

All, must be put under the Blood of Jesus Christ (repented of, sought forgiveness for) and kept there, for that individual to have and maintain complete victory over Satan!    

 

Therefore, it is not a sin to be tempted (Jesus Christ was temped of the devil (Matthew 4:11; Mark 1:13; Luke 4:2; 1st Corinth. 10:9; 1st Corinth. 10:13; Galatians 6:1; Acts 5:29; Hebrews 4:15) because He (Jesus Christ) did NOT accept the temptation) however, it becomes sin “IF” you accept the temptation.

 

The Awesome and mighty POWER of God!

 

[Jesus Christ the Son of God said]

 

Luke 10:19  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions,  and  over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

 

(Matthew 17:20; Matthew 21:22; Mark 9:23; Mark 11:22-24; Mark 16:15-20; John 14:12).

 

[power] Greek: exousia (GSN-1849), delegated authority—the right to use power as received and when needed to destroy Satan's works.

 

[to tread on] "To tread on"

 

means to have absolute mastery over, as is clear in Psalm 91:13; Psalm 108:13; Isaiah 10:6; Isaiah 63:6; Daniel 7:23; Micah 5:5; Rev. 11:2.  Christians are to have power over all power of the devil, "and nothing shall by any means hurt" them.  By a comparison with Matthew 10:16-22 and the actual history of  the apostles and others, we know that this exemption from being hurt does not imply freedom from all physical or material injury, for many died for serving Jesus Christ. Many have also been tortured and killed in wars, but have kept their faith in God like when Shadrach, Meshech and Abednego (the three Hebrew Children of Daniel 3:12-4:1) also, God will make a way of escape as in 1st Corinthians 10:13.

 

The "serpents and scorpions" and "all the power of the enemy" refer to demon powers primarily, although immunity from any harm of wild beasts and from poisons is also promised (Psalm 91; Mark 16:17-18; Acts 28:5).  The whole passage is speaking of devils, Satan, serpents, scorpions, power of the enemy, and spirits.

 

Exodus 23:22  But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

 

tsarar, Hebrew 6887, Strong’s

 

tsarar, tsaw-rar'; a primitive root; to cramp, literal or figurative, transitive or intransitive (as follows) :- adversary, (be in) afflict (-ion), besiege, bind (up), (be in, bring) distress, enemy, narrower, oppress, pangs, shut up, be in a strait (trouble), vex.

 

Exodus 23:22

 

[if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak] Like all promises in Scripture, these are conditional (Exodus 23:21, 22, 24, 25, 32-33).

 

Numbers 22:22  And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the Lord stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.

 

1 Samuel 1:6  And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the Lord had shut up her womb.

 

1 Samuel 29:4  And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary to us: for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master? should it not be with the heads of these men?

 

1 Kings 5:4  But now the Lord my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.

 

1 Kings 11:14  And the Lord stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.

 

1 Kings 11:23  And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:

1 Kings 11:25  And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.

 

Esther 7:6  And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.

 

Job 31:35  Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.

 

Psalm 74:10  O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

 

Isaiah 50:8  He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.

 

Lament. 1:10  The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.

 

Lament. 2:4  He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.

 

Lament. 4:12  The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.

 

Amos 3:11  Therefore thus saith the Lord God; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.

 

Matthew 5:25  Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

 

Luke 12:58  When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

 

Luke 18:3  And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

 

1 Tim. 5:14  I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

 

1 Peter 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

 

WHO ARE GOD’S ADVERSARIES?

 

Genesis 12:3  And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

 

1 Cor. 10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

 

[There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it] This verse gives assurance of the eternal keeping of God in all temptations and His help in every one of them, providing we obey the warnings of 1 Cor. 10:1-12. 

 

God gave every man the power of Choice to choose!

 

No man can be kept from a fall if he persistently refuses to meet conditions.  Our standing (or righteous standing) depends upon our faith and union with God and steadfastness in prayer.  The greatest saint can stand only as long as he depends upon God and continues in obedience to the gospel (Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:1-19; Deut. 8:11-18; Proverbs 1:10-17; Proverbs 2:10-16; Proverbs 4:14-15; Proverbs 5:6-21; Proverbs 6:27-28; Proverbs 7:7-23; Proverbs 9:15-17; Proverbs 12:26; Proverbs 14:27; Proverbs 16:29; Proverbs 19:27; Proverbs 28:10; Isaiah 33:15-16; Matthew 13:22; Luke 8:13; Romans 6:12-23; Romans 8:12-13; Romans 12:21; Romans 14:13-21; 1 Cor. 7:5; 1 Cor. 8:9-13; 1 Cor. 10:1-12; 2 Cor. 2:11; 2 Cor. 11:3; Galatians 5:16-26; Ephes. 4:27; Ephes. 6:10-18; 1 Tim. 5:15; 1 Tim. 6:9-17; Hebrews 3:6,12-14; Hebrews 6:4-11; Hebrews 10:26-38; James 1:2-16; James 4:7; 2 Peter 2:9,20-22; 2 Peter 3:17; 1 John 2:15-17). 

 

Any man who rejects these conditions of living right, unto God, will someday see that he cannot escape death and eternal punishment.

 

Hebrews 9:27  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

 

[appointed unto men once to die]

 

Man's Inescapable Appointment!

 

Greek: apokeimai (GSN-606), be laid up in store; be in reserve.  Translated appoint (Hebrews 9:27); be laid up (Luke 19:20; Col. 1:5; 2 Tim. 4:8).  It is appointed or laid up by divine decree: "Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return" (Genesis 3:19).  This law of death will hold firm for all men until the time of the rapture when the living who are to be translated will not see death (1 Cor. 15:51-58; 1 Thes. 4:13-16; Phil. 3:21). 

 

All who live at the end of the Millennium and who do not rebel against God will be permitted to live on the new earth forever without dying again.  Death will be destroyed and all things will be restored as they were before Adam sinned (Rev. 20:7-10; Rev. 21:1-22; 1 Cor. 15:24-28).

 

[after this the judgment]

 

Death Ends Probation!

 

After death is the judgment, not a second chance to live on earth and be saved.  Death ends all probation for the one who dies.  If he is righteous at death, his soul and spirit go to heaven awaiting the resurrection of the body (2 Cor. 5:8; Phil. 1:21-24; Hebrews 12:23; Rev. 6:9-11).  If he is wicked at death his soul and spirit go to hell to await the resurrection of his body (Luke 16:19-31; Isaiah 14:9; Rev. 20:11-15).  There is no such thing as purgatory or a second chance to be on probation in the Millennium or any other time.  Neither is there a reincarnation or a transmigration from body to body.

 

Will you be caught up to meet the Lord in the air?

 

Reference to the Lord’s Silent Coming (return)

“FOR” (to receive) His Saints unto Himself!

 

1 Thes. 4:14-18  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. [15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. [16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. [18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

 

1 Thes. 5:1-3  But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. [2] For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. [3] For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

 

Further References to the Lord’s Silent Coming (return)

“FOR” His Saints

 

Matthew 24:36-41  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. [37] But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [38] For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, [39] And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.  

 

Notice, Notice, Notice!

 

This coming or return of Jesus Christ

Was NOT a public appearance for all to see

but was “only” for those

Who were ready to be caught up and meet Him in the air when He

came!

 

[40] Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [41] Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

 

Watch therefore!

 

Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. [43] But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. [44] Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. [45] Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? [46] Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. [47] Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

 

Jesus Christ’s

Public Appearance is for all to see His Return

 

Rev. 1:1-3  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: [2] Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. [3] Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

 

Rev. 1:4-10  John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; [5] 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, [6] And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. [7] Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. [8] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. [9] I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. [10] I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

 

a door was opened in heaven!

(Saints came up)

 

Rev. 4:1-2  After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. [2] And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

 

Saints follow Him “from” Heaven on white horses!

 

Rev. 19:11  And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. [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. [13] And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

 

[14] And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. [15] And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. [16] And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

 

Ten Proofs the Rapture Takes Place in Revelation 4:1

 

(We use the word “rapture” in exchange for the term “caught up” in this lesson,

 whereby both mean the same)

 

Greek: meta (GSN-3326) tauta (GSN-5023), after these things (notice, John 5:1).  This Greek phrase is used at the beginning and at end of this verse thus: "After these things (after writing the things concerning the churches of Rev. 2-3), I looked ... a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice ... said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be after these things," that is, after the churches (Rev. 4:1). 

 

This confirms and settles the question as to the time of the fulfillment of all the events of Rev. 4:22.  They must be after these things of the churches, or after the rapture of the church.  The church is no longer on earth when the events of Rev. 4-22 take place.

 

1.  Christ said the things of Rev. 4-22 "must be hereafter," that is, after the churches, as proved above and also in Rev. 1:19.  If this is true, then the church is raptured before these things of Rev. 4-22, and after the things of the churches of Rev. 2-3. 

 

If the things which are (Rev. 2-3) concern the church, then the "things which must be" after "the things which are" must concern events after the churches. The church must be here during the time of the fulfillment of the things concerning the churches, and it must not be here during the fulfillment of the things after the churches. 

 

The church then is raptured in Rev. 4:1 between "the things which are" (Rev. 2-3) and "the things which must be hereafter," that is, after the churches (Rev. 4-22).

 

2.  The word "church" is found 19 times in Rev. 1-3 but not once in the third division of the book which contains "the things which must be" after the churches (Rev. 4:1-22:5).  The church is found again in the conclusion of the book (Rev. 22:6-21), but only after "the things which must be" are fully revealed.  If the church were on earth during the fulfillment of Rev. 4-22 it certainly would be mentioned.

 

3.  The enthroned elders are representative of the raptured saints and they are always seen in heaven after Rev. 4:1.  See, Rev. 4:4.

 

4.  The 70th week of Daniel will be the last seven years of this age, during which time all of Rev. 4-19; Matthew 24-25 will be fulfilled.  This week concerns Israel, not the church.  Therefore, the church must be raptured before this week. 

 

5.  There is no place for the rapture of the church and the Old Testament saints other than in Rev. 4:1.  The man-child and the great tribulation saints are the only ones to be saved and raptured during Daniel's 70th week, and these are distinct groups from the church and the Old Testament saints, as proved in notes on Rev. 4:4.  Therefore, the church is either caught up in Rev. 4:1after the churches of Rev. 2-3 and before the events coming after the churches of Rev. 4-22—or it is never mentioned in Revelation as to its rapture.  If it were to be caught up anytime during this week, it surely would have been mentioned. The church could not be the man-child or the tribulation saints, as proved in Rev. 7; Rev. 12; Rev. 14.

 

6.  In Luke 21:34-36 we have the promise of Jesus that the saved will be accounted worthy to escape all these things, and to stand before the Son of Man. The things they will escape are those of Matthew 24:4-26; Luke 21:4-19 and Rev. 6-19.

 

7.  In 1 Thes. 5:1-11 we have another definite promise assuring us that saints will escape the wrath of God (of Rev. 6-19).  God has not appointed us to this wrath, but to obtain salvation through Jesus Christ so we can live with Christ (1 Thes. 5:9-11).  How could saints comfort one another (as stated in this scripture and in 1 Thes. 4:16-17; Titus 2:13) if the only hope they had was the coming wrath of God in the future  tribulation?

 

8.  In 2 Thes. 2:6-8 it is definitely shown that the rapture takes place before the revelation of the Antichrist and before the 70th week of Daniel.  The events of Rev. 4-19 will take place during this week, so the rapture must take place in Rev. 4:1.

9.  There is a marked change in God's attitude toward humanity in general, from that of mercy (Rev. 1-3) to that of judgment (Rev. 4-19). The seals, trumpets, and vials all picture judgment throughout Daniel's 70th week.  If the church does not go through any of these things, as proved already, then the rapture must take place in Rev. 4:1.

 

10.  An individual or a body of individuals can be identified by peculiarities and characteristics.  If the church is to be on earth and is the subject of Rev. 4-19, then its earmarks should be seen.  But such are not to be found.  On the other hand, earmarks of Israel are seen throughout the book after Rev. 4:1.  The earmarks of the church are seen up to this point only.  This proves that two different institutions are dealt with in different parts of the book:  first, the church until its rapture in Rev. 4:1; second, Israel after the rapture of the church to the second coming of Christ (Rev. 4-19).

 

Twenty Earmarks of Israel after Rev. 4:1:

 

(1)  In Matthew, the Hebrew Gospel, there are 92 references to the Old Testament; in Hebrews there are 102 references; but in Revelation there 285 references. This also, proves the Jewish character of the book after Rev. 4:1.

 

(2)  The word "Lamb" is used 27 times in Rev. 4-22 and not once in the church section of Rev. 1-3.  It is never used in the Pauline epistles to the churches.  It is used only 4 other times in the New Testament and always in connection with Israel (John 1:29,36; Acts 8:32; 1 Peter 1:19).

 

(3)  The terms "the Lion of Judah" and "the Root of David" are Jewish (Rev. 5:5).

 

(4)  The 144,000 of Rev. 7:1-8; Rev. 14:1-5 are Jewish.  They will be saved during the events after the rapture.

 

(5)  The events of the seals, trumpets, and vials are a partial repetition of the plagues upon Egypt and are for the same purpose—that of judging Gentiles for their mistreatment of Israel.  They fulfill many Old Testament prophecies of punishments upon Gentiles because of their oppressions of Israel (Isaiah 24:21;  Isaiah 26:20-21; Isaiah 29:6-8; Jeremiah 30:6-9; Ezekiel 38-39; Daniel 12:1;  etc.).  Not one such prediction is ever made concerning the church.

 

(6)  The tribulation of Rev. 6-19 concerns Israel (Jeremiah 30:6-9; Daniel 12:1; Matthew 24:15-22).

 

(7)  Daniel's 70th week concerns Israel and Jerusalem only (Daniel 9:24,27).

 

(8)  The church age comes between the 69th and 70th weeks of Daniel, proving that Israel is dealt with during the 70th week.  See Daniel 9:24-27.

 

(9)  The only saved Gentiles in Rev. 4-19 are the tribulation saints and they are not the church (Rev. 6:9-11; Rev. 7:9-17; Rev. 15:2-4; Rev. 20:4-6).  This confirms  the Jewish aspect of Rev. 4-19.

 

(10)  The ministry of the angels around the altar (Rev. 8:2-5) is familiar to Israel only.

 

(11)  The mystery of God promised by the prophets is Jewish (Rev. 10:7).

 

(12)  The temple, altar, temple worship, court of the temple, holy city, olive trees, ark of the covenant, etc. of Rev. 11 are all Jewish, not Christian.

(13)  The kingdoms of this world becoming Christ's is the fulfillment of Jewish prophets (Rev. 11:15; Isaiah 9:6-7; Daniel 7:13-14; Zech. 14:1-21; Luke 1:32-33).

 

(14)  The woman and man-child are Jewish, as proved in Rev. 12.

 

(15)  A dragon with 7 heads and 10 horns, showing rulership of the nations that have persecuted Israel in the times of the Gentiles, also proves a Jewish connection (Rev. 12).  It could not be a fit symbol in connection with the church.

 

(16)  Michael (Rev. 12:7) always stands for Israel (Daniel 10:13-21; Daniel 12:1).

 

(17)  The remnant (Rev. 12:17) is Jewish (Isaiah 1:9).

 

(18)  Literal Babylon (Rev. 16:17-21; Rev. 18:1-24) proves a Jewish connection, as seen in Isaiah 13-14; Jeremiah 50-51.  The true church has no relationship with Babylon (Baal, Nimrod).

 

(19)  Armageddon and the second coming (Rev. 16:13-16; Rev. 19:11-21) prove a Jewish connection.  Neither subject is ever used of the church.

 

(20)  The Millennium and the New Earth were predicted in connection with Israel  hundreds of times (Rev. 20-22; Isaiah 2; Isaiah 65; Isaiah 66; etc), but not once with the church.

 

 

[door was opened in heaven] This was a real opening in heaven. Greek: thura (GSN-2374), a portal or entrance; door; gate.  Translated door 36 times (Matthew 6:6; Matthew 25:10; Matthew 28:2; etc.); gate (Acts 3:2).

 

[first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me] The voice of Rev. 1:10-12,17-20.

 

[Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter] The 12th New Testament prophecy in Revelation (Rev. 4:1-22:7, yet unfulfilled as of date of this writing).  Next, Rev. 22:10.

Sixty-eight Post-Rapture Events

 

These events are from Revelation only. Others could be added from the prophets, as well as Matthew 24 and Luke 21, etc., but these are enough to serve as an outline of post-rapture events:

 

1. The 1st seal: rise of Antichrist (Rev. 6:1)

2. The 2nd seal: war (Rev. 6:3-4)

When Jesus Christ steps foot upon the earth, when He returns PUBLICLY

for ALL to see Him!

 

Zech. 14:4  And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

 

 

Are you ready for the coming of the Lord?

Do you hold grudges against someone?

 

Matthew 6:15  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

 

Mark 11:26  But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

 

James 4:17  Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

 

With this last Scripture, a individual, must legitimately qualify that which is “good” (Holy, righteous before or unto God, clean, upright and glorifying unto Almighty God!

 

Repent now!
