@Wizarab10 Jesus makes it perfectly clear the ORGINAL path and HIS will. Jesus also made clear the entirety of Isreal and our diverting from his original plans is because of “the hardness of our hearts”.

“Come unto Me,” is His invitation. Whatever your anxieties and trials, spread out your case before the Lord.—(The Desire of Ages, 329.)

[Dear Self. @Dearme2_]

God’s answer is always the best.

[Chad Bird @birdchadlouis]

Let me teach you a Hebrew truth that can carry you through the hardest seasons of life. It’s carried me. And I’ve walked through some deep valleys.

I don’t care how dark the day is. I don’t care how loud despair sings its siren song. This truth will pull you through: זֶה־יָ֝דַ֗עְתִּי כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֥ים לִֽי

(In English, it would sound like this: Zeh-yah-DAH-tee, key-Elohim lee)

It means, “This I know, that God is for me” (Psalm 56:9).

Psalm 56 is no stranger to trouble. It’s full of fear, danger, enemies, and moments that feel hopeless. Yet, right in the middle of it all, the psalmist declares: This I know, that God is for me.

Not I feel.
Not I wish.
But I know.

And if God is for you, then you are never truly outnumbered. Never abandoned. Never without hope.

The apostle Paul echoes this in Romans 8: “If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?”

If that God, the God who gave his Son for you, is for you (and he is, in Jesus Christ), then no darkness can overtake you.

No sin can separate you.
Jesus has you.
He is for you.

And because of that, you can keep going. No matter what.

Rev 9:16-- In terms of imagery, there is a startling shift between the four angels released from the Euphrates River (Rev 9:15) and the massive horde of Revelation 9:16-19. But they are two dramatically different ways to describe the same entity in reality.

[Jon Paulien @JonPaulien]

Rev 9:15-- The language of killing occurs six times in the sixth trumpet. The first three are in the chapter nine portion of the trumpet (Rev 9:15, 18, and 20). The other three are in the expansion of the sixth trumpet that is found in 10:1 – 11:13 (Rev 11:5, 7, 13).

[Ukpahiojo James @Ukpahiojojames]

God is merciful, but He does not excuse sin.

Many love to speak of God's mercy but ignore His call to repentance. God's mercy is not permission to continue in sin—it is an invitation to turn from it.

God delights in forgiving the repentant, but He never calls evil good. His grace transforms the sinner; it does not justify a life of disobedience.

The same God who forgives also calls us to repentance and obedience.

"The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty..." — Exodus 34:6–7 (KJV)

Don't misuse God's mercy as an excuse for sin. Let His mercy lead you to repentance and a transformed life.

"The warfare against self is the greatest battle that was ever fought. The yielding of self, surrendering all to the will of God, requires a struggle; but the soul must submit to God before it can be renewed in holiness...."
AG 313.4

[Ukpahiojo James @Ukpahiojojames]

"God is love.” 1 John 4:16. His nature, His law, is love. It ever has been; it ever will be. “The high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity,” whose “ways are everlasting,” changeth not. With Him “is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” Isaiah 57:15; Habakkuk 3:6; James 1:17. PP 33.1

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love GOD, to them who are called according to His purpose.
-Romans 8:28

Rev 9:15-- The Greek of "hour, day, month and year" has a single article at the beginning, governing the whole phrase. This unites all four time periods into a single entity, hence my translation “that very hour, day. . . .”

[Jon Paulien @JonPaulien]

Rev 9:14-- Mention of the Euphrates River, both here and in the sixth bowl-plague (Rev 16:12) is a hint that eschatological Babylon has a role in the events of the sixth trumpet.

[Chad Bird @birdchadlouis]

God’s first words after the Fall were: “Where are you?”

It is only one word in Hebrew: אַיֶּכָּה (ʾayyekah).

In that single word is compressed a whole theology:

• God seeks out lost sinners.
• God welcomes them to confess.
• God desires their restoration.
• God works their redemption.

'Jesus looked a them and said, "With man this is impossible, but wih God all things are possible." - Matthew 19:26

[Jon Paulien @JonPaulien]

Rev 9:14-- Rev 7:1-4 and 9:13-17 need to be read together. In both scenes binding and loosing are associated with four angels, the participants are numbered, and in the whole of Rev, only these two scenes contain the phrase “I heard the number”.

[Sheila of the Most High @sheilatebra]

There's a conversation in the Bible where Satan admits there are some people he can't touch... and almost nobody talks about it.
Most people read the book of Job and focus on everything he lost. But I was reading Job 1, and God showed me something that completely shifted my perspective. Before Job's wealth, before the attacks, before the tragedy... God first described Job's character. The Bible says Job was "blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil." That wasn't just an introduction it was Heaven's testimony about him before anything else happened.

Then the scene changes from earth to heaven. The angels present themselves before the Lord, and Satan shows up. God asks him, "Where have you come from?" Satan replies that he has been roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth. In other words, he was searching. Then God asks Satan one question: "Have you considered my servant Job?" What Satan says next stopped me in my tracks. Satan replies, "Have You not put a hedge around him, his household, and everything he has?" Think about that. The enemy himself acknowledged that there was a boundary around Job that he could not cross without God's permission.

What qualified Job for that kind of covering? It wasn't his money. It wasn't his influence. It wasn't his success. The Bible says he was blameless, upright, feared God, and shunned evil. Before Heaven celebrated his blessings, Heaven testified about his character.
I wonder how many of us spend more time praying for God's protection than pursuing the kind of life that attracts His covering. Job reminds us that reverence for God, integrity, and obedience matter. Character isn't just about reputation it has spiritual consequences.

Rev 9:14-- It is noteworthy that the phrase “the four angels” (Greek: tous tessaras angelous) has the article. The article refers back to the actions that took place at the beginning of Rev 7. This underlines the strong correlation between the opening of Rev 7 and the 6h trumpet.

[Ukpahiojo James @Ukpahiojojames]

Christ is coming back with a kingdom that
will never be destroyed.

Daniel 2:44–45:
And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will
set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor
shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall
break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to
an end, and it shall stand forever, just as you saw
that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human
hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze,
the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has
made known to the king what shall be after this. The
dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.
