If "Thus saith the Lord" isn't quoted in context from the Bible, the "messenger" is a liar.

09/29/20 WANTING TICKLED EARS

Not only do sinners turn from the truth; shallow Christians want preachers to tickle their ears.

ITCHING (TICKLED) EARS
2 Timothy 4:1-5
1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears (having their ears tickled);
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

09/29/20 IT'S ABOUT THE WHAT MORE THAN THE HOW

When folks get more excited by HOW a man says something than by WHAT the man actually says, then those folks are being led astray.

09/29/20 UNDERGROUND IS NOT CHRIST DENYING

Don't confuse underground Christianity with faithless, fearful, faltering Christianity.

09/27/20 BEWARE MODERN, "THUS SAITH THE LORD."

09/27/20 BEWARE MODERN, "THUS SAITH THE LORD."

False prophets claim God gave them a new prophecy e.g. "THUS SAITH THE LORD," or a new REVELATION concerning God's written word.

BE AWARE, BE BIBLICAL
NO NEW REVELATION
God does not "gift" people with the call and ability to proclaim His word or revelation verbatim or inerrantly, unless we are quoting God's written word in the context of God's revelation.
God does not add anything to His written word today.
God does not "channel" (prophecy e.g. "thus saith the Lord) through human beings.

We can quote Scripture and we can apply Scripture to current affairs, but we cannot hijack God's word or claim that God speaks verbally through us, even when we wrap it in Scripture.

BEWARE ANGELS OF LIGHT AND ANOTHER SPIRIT
If we think we are being moved in the same way that Bible writers were moved upon by the Holy Spirit, then we have been deceived by an "angel of light" and we have followed "another spirit." 

2 Corinthians 11:13-15
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. 

2 Corinthians 11:3-4
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

TRY THE SPIRITS
Try the spirits, to see if they be of God.
1 John 4:1
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Any such modern so-called "prophesying" is blatant deception and any shallow Christian should be able to discern the misrepresentation.

#3 of 16 Areas of Believer's Perfection

PERFECT IN HOLINESS 

God provides, calls and enables Christians to be PERFECT IN HOLINESS. This article is not a definition or explanation of holiness. It is simply a statement that God calls and enables us to experience and exemplify perfect holiness.

As with all perfections and graces in the Christian life, it is the redemptive work of God in us that makes Perfect Holiness possible. Perfect Holiness is the presence and practice of God's holiness in us. This is a perfection of quality, not quantity. God's word is our authority. 

Perfect In Holiness
2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting (2005) holiness in the fear of God. 

Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 

DLG notes… Though the word, "perfect" is not used in this verse, WE WERE CHOSEN TO BE HOLY AND WITHOUT BLAME, and this is PERFECT HOLINESS. 

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 

DLG notes… Though the word, "perfect" is not used in this verse, GOD PROMISES TO SANCTIFY (MAKE HOLY) BELIEVERS WHOLLY, COMPLETELY, ENTIRELY, THROUGH AND THROUGH. THIS IS PERFECT CLEANSING. 

Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 

DLG notes… Though the word, "perfect" is not used in this verse, it is self evident that PERFECT HOLINESS IS THE RESULT OF "DENYING UNGODLINESS AND WORLDLY LUST" AND "LIVING SOBERLY, RIGHTEOUSLY, AND GODLY IN THIS PRESENT WORLD." 

1 Peter 1:15-16
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 

DLG notes… Though the word, "perfect" is not used in this verse, it is self evident that being holy, as God is holy and being holy, in ALL MANNER OF BEHAVIOR IS PERFECT HOLINESS. 

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 

DLG notes… Though the word, "perfect" is not used in this verse, it is impossible to be more perfectly cleansed from sin, than to be CLEANSED FROM ALL SIN.

09/25/20 A FEW SELF EVALUATION IDEAS

09/25/20 A FEW SELF EVALUATION IDEAS

I often refer folks to the beginning of Ephesians 4 for self evaluation.

Today I joined vss. 1-3 with vss. 29-32.

AIDS TO SELF EVALUATION
Ephesians 4:1-3; 29-32
1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace...
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

PERFECT IN MERCY
God provides, calls and enables Christians to be PERFECT IN MERCY. This article is not a definition or explanation of mercy. It is simply a statement that God calls and enables us to experience and exemplify perfect mercy.
As with all perfections and graces in the Christian life, it is the redemptive work of God in us that makes Perfect Mercy possible. Perfect Mercy is the presence and practice of God's mercy in us. This is a perfection of quality, not quantity. God's word is our authority.

PERFECT MERCY
Luke 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

DLG notes… Though the word, "perfect" is not used in this verse, it is only reasonable that we are exercising perfect mercy when WE ARE AS MERCIFUL, AS OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS MERCIFUL.

ADDENDUM... This passage from Ephesians mentions qualities associated with mercy and helps us understand the meaning of being PERFECT IN MERCY.

Ephesians 4:29-32
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

09/25/20 MORE DECLARATION THAN ADMISSION

Confessing faith in Christ is not a forced, shameful admission; it is a joyful, bold claim to a loving faith in our Lord and Savior.

09/25/20 TWO KINDS OF CONFESSION

09/25/20 TWO KINDS OF CONFESSION

Christian confession includes:
1- Confessing sins (guilt) to God,
2- Confessing our faith (trust & belief) in Christ to others.

CONFESSING...
PASSAGES CONCERNING CONFESSION OF SINS...
(confessing sins to God and sometimes to others).

13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

PASSAGES CONCERNING CONFESSION OF FAITH...

Romans 10:9-10
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

09/24/20 I WANT A PRINCIPLE WITHIN

09/24/20 I WANT A PRINCIPLE WITHIN

Lyrics to Charles Wesley's, I WANT A PRINCIPLE WITHIN, referring to the experience and life of TOTAL SURRENDER.

I have included a music video by the Collinsworth and written lyrics as a meditation tool.

Read, meditate, follow this great counsel.

I want a principle within
Of watchful, godly fear,
A sensibility of sin,
A pain to feel it near.

Help me the first approach to feel
Of pride or wrong desire;
To catch the wandering of my will,
And quench the kindling fire.

From Thee that I no more may stray,
No more Thy goodness grieve,
Grant me a childlike faith, I pray,
A tender conscience give.

Quick as the focus of an eye,
O God, my conscience make!
Awake my soul when sin is nigh,
And keep it still awake.

Almighty God of truth and love,
To me Thy pow'r impart;
The burden from my soul remove,
The hardness from my heart.

O may the least omission pain
My re-awakened soul,
And drive me to that Grace again,
Which makes the wounded whole.

5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

This is a perfection of quality, not quantity. God's word is our authority.

PERFECT LOVE

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect (5046), even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect (5046).
DLG note... The context of this passage makes it clear that the perfection Jesus calls us to have is PERFECTION OF LOVE. 

Colossians 3:14 And above all these things put on charity (love), which is the bond of perfectness (5047). 

1 John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected (5048): hereby know we that we are in him. 

1 John 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected (5048) in us. 

1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect (5048), that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world."

09/22/20 SERIES OF 16 AREAS INTRO 

SERIES OF 16 AREAS OF PERFECTION IN NEW TESTAMENT

INTRODUCTION
The Bible clearly reveals that the Christian is called to a Perfection provided, commanded, enabled by God. I hope to post 16 Areas of Perfection found in the New Testament over these next 16 days. I encourage you to read and study my article concerning Biblical Perfection, since it is actually Biblical quotes concerning this subject rather than human teaching.

Here is my introduction to the next 16 Days of Biblical Perfection (with STRONG'S numbers).
Believer’s Perfection Is New Testament Truth
I will quote a few verses to introduce this subject and then I will give more than a dozen Biblical sub-topics addressing Christian perfection. Remember, this is an overview. The Bible says much, much more about this subject than does this little article.

a) 2 Corinthians 13:11
11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect (2675), be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

b) Colossians 1:28-29
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect (5046) in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto I also labor, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. 

c) Colossians 4:12
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect (5046) and complete in all the will of God. 

d) Hebrews 13:20-21
20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
21 Make you perfect (2675) in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. 

e) 1 Peter 5:10
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect (2675), establish, strengthen, settle you.

09/22/20 GOD'S MESSAGE TO US TODAY

09/22/20 GOD'S MESSAGE TO US TODAY

Though people "Party Hardy," the writing is on the wall: "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN," which simply stated means, "Turn Or Burn."

GOD JUDGES NATIONS
In this passage we see God's judgment of Babylon. There are principles in this chapter that apply to our present world and to America's present situation. The principles also apply to individuals who are in rebellion to God.
Daniel 5:1-31
1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.
3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
6 Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
7 The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
8 Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
10 Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:
11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.
13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?
14 I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
15 And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing:
16 And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
18 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
19 And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down.
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:
21 And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;
23 But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
25 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
31 And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Romans 2:2-11
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.

 DLG note...

This does not mean that we reach His standard by our own strength, but rather, we trust in His ability to enable us.

CONSIDER THIS SCRIPTURE

John 3:16-21

GOD LOVES, GAVE, SAVES,

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

JESUS CAME TO SAVE THE LOST WORLD

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

FAITH IN CHRIST IS ESSENTIAL TO SALVATION

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

THE REAL REASON MEN DON'T GET SAVED

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

OUR HEART'S DESIRE IS SEEN IN THE WAY WE LIVE

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

09/16/20 I SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED

After starting my series, "THE DOCTRINE OF HEART PURITY," I realized my whole preaching, teaching ministry is a Holiness Seminar.

I remember using this outline with my church in Morehead and my ministry students in the 70s and 80s.

As I was reflecting on this, I remembered some of the young men I discipled in preparation for ministry during that time. A few of them include, Percy, Matt, Frank, Dave, Ralph, Chico, Greg V., Greg M., Joe, David.

What they did with it was their choice.

09/16/20 THREE CATEGORIES OF MEN

09/16/20 THREE CATEGORIES OF MEN

3 categories of men.
The natural man is psuchikos.
The carnal Christian is sarkikos.
The spiritual man is pneumatikos.

1- The unsaved man is called the NATURAL man. The NATURAL man is dead in sins and trespasses. The natural man has a fallen Human Nature (the nature to be human i.e. body soul and spirit, which was inflicted by the fall of Adam), and a totally corrupt, inherent Sinful Nature (the nature to sin inherited from Adam a.k.a. The Old Man). The Greek word is transliterated, psuchikos. He is spiritually destitute.

2- The Carnal Christian, saved man begins his saved life with his Human Nature, his Sinful Nature and the addition of an imparted godly, divine nature (the nature to be godly a.k.a. The New Man). This new Christian therefore has a Double Mind, (the Carnal Mind, mind of resistance to godly concerns, but he also has the Mind of Christ, which desires the will of God). This person has CLEAN HANDS (having been forgiven, justified and regenerated). The internal battle between his old nature and his new nature is addressed in Romans chapter seven.

3- The Spiritual Man, the believer who has both CLEAN HANDS and a PURE HEART, who has not only had his sins forgiven but has had his heart purified by seeking God's complete deliverance from sinful actions and SINFUL NATURE. This person is redeemed, justified, regenerated and ENTIRELY SANCTIFIED. The spiritual battle of the ENTIRELY SANCTIFIED is with the powers of darkness rather than with an inward, inherent tendency to sin. Temptation is real, the battle is real, the possibility to fail, fall, sin is real, but it is not the battle of Romans Seven. In fact, at the end of Romans seven God introduces His plan and power to deliver from the inner struggle, and then Romans seven is followed by the teachings in Romans eight makes it clear that the internal struggle is over as long as the believer continues to walk in the light of God's word and salvation.

09/16/20 DISBELIEF IN SINNERS AND CARNAL CHRISTIANS

09/16/20 DISBELIEF IN SINNERS AND CARNAL CHRISTIANS

Sinners deny the need to, "Cleanse their hands."
Carnal Christians deny the need to "purify their hearts."

09/16/20 DLG FB NOTE... "GREAT" IN THE NEW TESTAMENT 12/27/14

09/16/20 DLG FB NOTE... "GREAT" IN THE NEW TESTAMENT 12/27/14

As I was looking up verses that address the concepts of "Grace" and "Great Grace," I saw that the word GREAT is used with so many other issues. I decided to make a list of the many ways GREAT is used in the New Testament (KJV) and post it. Great is used in conjunction with positive and negative ideas.

This list can be a good resource for study or for meditation. The Titles are just for basic designations, they are not intended to be authoritative and definitive. This is done without comment (other than the Titles), which allows for a personal reflection on God's word. I share 106 passages in the New Testament, without the book of Revelation, and 62 passages in the Book of Revelation. This is not an exhaustive list. I did not include the several passages that refer to great "multitude (s)" and I did not include passages, such as "great deal."

I hope to catalogue the various applications, but I did not want to delay posting this list. In fact, I hope to use the word Great in Revelation as a simple outline for the book. It will just be a simple tool to retell the main events of the Revelation. I will correct typo and formatting errors when I find them. I do not lke the book abbreviations, therefore I hope to fix that later.

the Great Holy City and the Great Sin City;
the Great King and the Great Beast;
the Great Shepherd and the Great Dragon.
