--- Quote from: Andy_MI ---This came to mind while meditating on Luke24:31
Act 9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
Act 9:2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
Act 9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
Act 9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Act 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Act 9:6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Act 9:7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
Act 9:8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
Act 9:9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. Act 9:10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
Act 9:11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
Act 9:12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
Act 9:13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
Act 9:14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
Act 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
Act 9:16 For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
Act 9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
Act 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

Nice post. :D
Pauls Blindness was His Pride In the Law.
Job 41:15 [His] scales [are his] pride, shut up together [as with] a close seal.
All those who live by Law need their Eyes Opened to SEE.
Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Mar 8:23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
All Men will be made Straight which cometh By Faith
The Blind cant see and The lame and the Crooked can not walk.
Yes the Dead Raised Up.
To be carnally minded is Death.
Mat 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Mat 15:31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
Hbr 12:13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
Ecc 1:15 [That which is] crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
Ecc 7:13 Consider the work of God: for who can make [that] straight, which he hath made crooked?
Isa 40:4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
Isa 42:16 And I will bring the blind by a way [that] they knew not; I will lead them in paths [that] they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
Isa 45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
Luk 3:5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways [shall be] made smooth;
Job 29:15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet [was] I to the lame.
Pro 26:7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so [is] a parable in the mouth of fools.
Isa 35:6 Then shall the lame [man] leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
And multitudes more
:D :D
Andy_MI:
My eyes are filled with tears of joy!
My heart is full if His peace!
God's spirit is rushing over me!
My ears hear the beautiful song of the Saviour's love!
Rom 11:33 Oh! the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments! and untraceable his ways!
Thanks be to the Lord Jesus Christ! I sure needed that! :D
Daniel:
Amen, I hear you! Rejoicing with you bro!
:lol: 1Titus 1:4 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.[/u]
Psalm 95:1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.[/u]
Psalm 89:26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.[/u]
Gal 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Psalm 85:15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.[/u]
Psalm 35:9 And "my soul" shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
Hearing that joyful sound :D
Peace

--- Quote from: lilitalienboi16 ---Hey guys, i got a question.
After learning many spiritual truths, and i know im no where near the end, just scratching the Tip of the iceberg here ive become slightly confused.
All my days i was taught Jesus would come a second time.
The more and more i read revalations (Which is what i used to Justify His second coming to earth) the more i realize its completely spiritual and has to do with us, His followers. The more i study the more i realize JESUS IS BACK, except He is back in us. As He is, so are we in the world.
So my question is, Is Jesus gonna come back to this fleshy world?
That would bring me to my next question.
I was always taught that when Jesus returns to this Fleshy earth that He would sound a physical trumpet and we would arise from the graves, and those that didn't die would be caught up in the heavens with Him, and He would start His reign on earth. Now like i've said this has become less and less the truth for me the more i learn the fruits of the spirit. So if this isn't the case, when exactly do we rise to our inheritence at the end of days, if Jesus isn't really coming back to this fleshy earth at all?
Thanks for any help and answers in advanced,
God bless,
Alex

This thread has splintered.
apologies!
This maynot be the answer to your questions but words to encourage you.
Alex.
Speaking firstly on your thoughts of Revelation.
Revelation is Symbolic .
We can not take out from that Book that which we choose to be Literal( physical) and then opt for we then choose to symbolise away which unfortuantely some do.
Ive Read much on what Ray said on seeing with Spiritual eyes and some see more than others .
As we each grow Its at this point where some may Differ , one will see it in the physical maybe the other in the spiritual, it truly does not pay to Debate the point when this occurs as Christ gives the increase to us all in HIS time.
As you you grow in the spiritual Truth of Scripture you will find as you have mentioned a different Understanding to that of what you saw in the Physical( literal).
Rev 1:8
I am the Alpha and Omega . " says the Lord God , who IS and WAS and Will BE.
Jesus is the alpha and omega, or in Hebrew, the Aleph and Tav. Aleph being the first letter represents the birth of all things. Tav (whose symbolic meaning is the cross) is the last letter and represents the completion of all things. Together they represent all the other letter in-between and through which God expressed his truth. The word ‘truth’ in Hebrew is emet. It is comprised of three letters: aleph – mem – tav. As such it represents the alpha and omega (aleph – tav). The letter mem signifies water and is shaped like the womb. meaning, truth must flow and also birth that which is above. The word heaven (H.8064 sha-mayim) is founded on the Hebrew word for water (H.4325 mayim). The letter shin represents fire. So together, heaven rains down fire and water. The two things we are baptised in.
Again it all Depends on how we veiw the scriptures .
Has the comforter Not come? one bearing witness to the Other?
Hbr 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation
Jhn 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Jhn 14:26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Jhn 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
Jhn 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
Psa 16:5 The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
May God Bless you in your seeking of Greater spiritual Truth and Understanding Alex.
