Thoughts on Discerning, Judging and Prophecy

I often have thoughts running through my mind when I hear about the process of discerning, judging, and considering Prophecy. We often hear people say, "Don't Judge!". However, we can discern, therefore we should be able to articulate whether something that is discerned is right or wrong! So I thought of starting this page to write down these times when deeper matters are presented by others -- or by one's own self -- which often fade into the past as unspoken thoughts.

Divorce-and-Remarriage, the way I read it in the Word of God...

My reply on "Table Talk Truth with Poppa and Momma Cee!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUdKj_zsKQ0


Here's the way I read it in the Word of God.
First, the issue is not about "divorce" -- the issue is about "divorce and remarriage after divorce".

Second, when faced with difficult decisions, one should go to the Scripture, not to friends or "big brothers" or counsellors who don't know the Word of God.

Third, Jesus said the only exception for remarriage after divorce is "fornication" against a spouse. This is a sin of unfaithfulness against a spouse. In this case, the divorced victim is free to remarry, but the one who committed the fornication is not free to remarry.

The Bible says "whosoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.” (Matthew 5:31-32).

The 4 A's (abuse, addiction, abandonment, adultery) are human emotions made "exceptions" by man. Divorce is biblically permitted in these cases -- but do not free anyone to remarry when the spouse is still alive. That is because marriage is a covenant that can only be broken by the death of one of the two covenantors.

If someone's spouse has passed away by death, that one is not divorced but is a widow/widower and is free to remarry anyone who is single or widowed. I am always perplexed as to why -- of all those single or widowed who are biblically available -- why would anyone pick someone who is divorced with a living spouse? Unfortunately, people don't know their Bible.

(Matthew 5:31-32. “It has been said, Whosoever shall put away
his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you that whosoever shall put away hiswife, saving (except) for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.)

Who are Sheba, Dedan, Tarshish, the young lions... in Ezekiel 38:13?

I know, it's been a while since I've been here, but there is so-o-o-o much to do. I'll try and get here more often... I do have lots of thoughts going through my mind on a daily basis...

Anyway, here I am today with a very interesting topic to do with End-Time Prophecy...

One of my favorite places to go to for end-times prophecy from Israel's point of view is the ministry of Amir Tsarfati, "Behold Israel".

And in a recent devotional, Amir shares about a particular area of prophecy that a lot of people are asking about, to do with who is "Sheba and Dedan" and others mentioned in Ezekiel 38:13 --

"Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?"

So I want to share that very interesting write-up of prophetic understanding of the people and land the Word of God talks about.

Amir expounds on the meaning of that prophecy of Ezekiel, pointing to a strong friendship with the Arabian Peninsula, and a weak America and Europe at the time of the end...

He sees “Sheba and Dedan” as the names of the Saudi Arabian Peninsula today, the merchants of Tarshish as Western Europe, and all the young lions as being the substance of what America was born of...

For those of you interested on end-time prophecy from Israel's point of view, you can read the rest of this enlightening devotional article from Amir at this link...

End times illusions vs Realities of religion and the universe

I received an email a while ago from someone on a topic of the "illusion" of religious beliefs. In these times of timing of the events of the book of revelation, this subject matter is an interesting enough topic to write about on this site, being a theological subject shared by many in the scientific field. /DMH
