That’s a beautiful verse Hannah. Something deep is hidden in it. Adam was created on the sixth day, so the first full day he ever lived was God's day of rest. He didn't start by working toward rest. He started by resting in work already finished.
Man's life began with rest in a finished work… and salvation begins the same way. And then, look at it carefully… Thus the heavens and the earth were FINISHED… Genesis 2:1. On the cross Jesus said …It is FINISHED… John 19:30. Then His body rested in the tomb on the Sabbath, and He rose on the first day of a new week, the first day of a new creation. God finished the old creation and rested on the seventh day… Jesus finished the new creation and rested in a tomb on the seventh day. Thank you for sharing this verse. Grace to you.

Good morning ☀️ Let’s pray 👏😌

“For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Peter 1: 21 ESV

Genesis 15:17

Abraham asked God for proof. Whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it? So God told him to bring the animals, and Abraham divided them and laid each piece one against another.

In those days that was how a covenant was made. Both men walked between the pieces, as if to say, let this happen to me if I break my word. Jeremiah 34 shows it.
But look at what happened. When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram… and an horror of great darkness fell upon him.

Then, when the sun went down, and it was dark… behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

Only the fire passed through. Abraham never walked, because he was asleep. God took both sides of the promise on Himself, and in the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram.

So if you lie down tonight afraid your faith is too weak to hold it, remember… it never depended on your holding. The One who made the promise walked through the FIRE.

I think one of the biggest problems with pre-tribulation teaching is confusing tribulation with God's wrath. Whenever you say believers will go through the tribulation, someone immediately brings up how we're not appointed to wrath. But those are two different things. Jesus told us we would have tribulation (John 16:33), and He places the gathering of His elect after the tribulation (Matthew 24:29–31).

Now consider Revelation 3:10. Jesus promises to keep His people from the hour of temptation, a time of testing. But where does He say He's removing them from the earth? As you've stated, Dr. Cyril, Jesus prayed that His disciples would be kept from evil, not taken out of the world (John 17:15).

And look at Job. He was righteous before God, yet Satan put him through tremendous suffering. Was Job experiencing God's wrath? No. He was enduring tribulation while remaining faithful. James 5:11 even reminds us of his patience. Jesus also said, "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved" (Matthew 24:13).

I believe this all connects with what Jesus said in Matthew 6:21: "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." How much do we value the things of this world compared to the things above? Where our hearts are matters, especially when our faith is tested. Will we hold on to the things of this world, or remain faithful to Christ regardless of what we lose?

And consider Revelation 18:4, where God says, "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." Come out of what? Babylon, her sins, her corruption, and the judgment coming upon her. That's a call to separate ourselves from wickedness, not necessarily to be removed from the earth.

Revelation 14:12 speaks of the patience of the saints who keep God's commandments and the faith of Jesus.

God's people can endure tribulation without being under His wrath. Where we place our treasure and our hearts matters. We're called to remain faithful, overcome, and endure, not become attached to the very world God calls us to come out of.

Many believers are taught that we will be taken OUT before the tribulation.

But on the last night before the cross, Jesus prayed… I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. John 17:15

So which is it… taken out before the tribulation, or KEPT during it?

John 9:1-23 ESV

“As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” Having said these things, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man’s eyes with the mud and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing. The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” Some said, “It is he.” Others said, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.” So they said to him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed and received my sight.” They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.” They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And there was a division among them. So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.” The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” His parents answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. But how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.” (His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess Jesus to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue. Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”)”

Since when did reading the Bible turn into lunch at the cafeteria?

People are treating the Word of God like a buffet line that tickles their ears. They are dragging up ancient heresies like Marcionism and Gnosticism- pretending YHWH is a lesser or evil deity, and repackaging them with modern buzzwords. They're inventing their own versions of Jesus while using the Bible to tear it down.

We don't get to slice up the sixty-six books, reject the burning bush, and make up a god that fits our preferences; either Scripture is the absolute Word of God, or we're just worshipping ourselves.

[Brother John @YHVA_YESHUAH316]

I have to ask, if we're not here to build relationships with our brothers and sisters in Christ, to love one another, encourage one another, and grow together as a family in Christ, then what exactly are we doing here?

What's the point of calling each other brothers and sisters if we have no desire to actually treat one another like family? Are we genuinely seeking unity, or are we just going through the motions, talking about love without actually showing it?

When someone opens up about their life, their struggles, or simply desires fellowship, why should they be treated like some troubled stranger or a problem that nobody wants to deal with? Since when did showing someone genuine love and compassion become such a difficult thing?

I'm not saying we have to agree on everything or become everyone's closest friend. But surely, as followers of Jesus Christ, we ought to have enough love in our hearts to care about one another.

Jesus didn't command us to pretend to love one another. He commanded us to actually do it.

John 13:35 (KJV)

"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

If we can't even show that love to our own brothers and sisters in Christ, then we really need to ask ourselves what we're doing here.

Psalm 27:4 (KJV)
One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

Psalm 62:5–6 (KJV)
My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

Psalm 91:1–2 (KJV)
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Lamentations 3:25–28 (KJV)
The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.

John 15:4–5 (KJV)
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
