Why did "God is Salvation" say to some of the people standing in his presence, "Some of you shall not pass away, till you have seen the

disciples that from the day he rose, "you will see the son of man seated at the righthand of the father, forever more", if it were not
true?
Study the meanings of the names, places, and things in the bible, it will make a lot more sense to you. Babylon, means confusion...hence the
mystery. Did you ever wonder why it is that in many of the old testament books as well as in revelations it says, "Let the Reader Understand". It
says this, because it is talking to you specifically. When Babylon falls, confusion falls, not a country, meaning, "A great light has shined in the
darkness"..."for unto us, a son has been born and the governing of the Nations is on his shoulders". We have all been in confusion for so long we
don't see it anymore. God is humble and desires to walk with you not against you. If you are looking for these signs of sensationalism, the only one
you will receive is Jonah in the belly of a whale. Turn from confusion for it will fall and be broken up says, the LORD GOD OF HOSTS who is a God that
is not far off, He is Right at hand. Peace...letthereaderunderstand
Jesus says that the gates to heaven and hell are wide open. Revelation says that 144 thousand thousand go to heaven. Heaven and hell are places to go.
If you believe christ said then you would believe what he
said.
Revelations comeing from Jesus throw john said that babylon sits on many waters. and that She is drunk with the wine of saints. there for babylon is a
place a country a kingdom. again we cant read part of the bible and not all of it.

Hello I wanted to get back to you. I was new when I started here and didn't even realize this posted, so I'm just now seeing this, but I wanted to
respond to you.
www.scripture4all.org... has a hebrew and greek direct word for word translation that I suggest you look in to, because the bibles
that are in english are manipulated, Especially the KING JAMES Version. Check into how our bible was put together (council of nicea, founding church
fathers) and most importantly by who...hint the same ones that created heaven and hell. Hell is not called hell in hebrew, but gehenna or genesis.
Don't be fooled by the image which is handed to you, but in truth look. There are reasons why certain sayings and verses remained in the form of
"Golgatha,
this being translated"The Skull" or "Eli, Eli lama sabacthani" being translated "my god, my god why has thou forsaken me".
Beware of the SCRIBES AND PHARISEES which outwardly are sheep, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. These were left to make you say, "I wonder why just
those verses are directly translated?", these were hidden by the holy one from even the scribes writing bad translations, who took not into account
what they were doing but to you they are a door. Another interesting note is that Hebrew of the old testament only had "tenses" for time in special
situations, but mainly was always spoken in present tense. This means the words always mean right now. This is why it is said, "Today if you would
hear my voice and turn away from your sinful nature, that I might heal you." Even this is not the correct translation, because what you think heal
means is not what it means. To be healed is to be stopped from sinful action by way of ridicule and fierce attack. "By his stripes, we are
healed"...stopped, repented. This is why he told people not to go out telling others what happened to them, but the people were to scared not to. He
is the one with the two edged sword issuing from his mouth which you don't ever want to see turning on you. Examine yourself before anyone...peace to
yo
