Could someone help with this scripture?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Firefly:
"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. Amos 8:11-13

I believe this verse describes my life before God opened my eyes and started to remove the scales and teach me via Ray and others by His Spirit what the scriptures really say. I accepted Christ when I was eighteen and I can remember being so hopless and crying out to Him for almost 20 years, saying what am I missing God, there must be some key I  am missing. I can honestly say all those years I was going through a spiritual famine...which was His will for my life at that time. I am just so thankful He is giving my real food and water now...

Hi Lori,

That is the way I feel too.

A scripture that I believe is a second witness to the Amos 8 verses.

Dan 12:4  "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."

I believe this verse in Daniel and Amos is talking about the church.   
Amo 8:12 "...they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the LORD, but they shall not find it."
Sounds like they don't know which way to go, sounds like 'they' are the many that go the broad way (Matt 7:13). 
'The Book' that was sealed, isn't this 'Book' the Book of the Life of Jesus Christ(as Ray referrs to it), and beginning sealed so the many can't know It/Him.

Mat 7:22  On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?'
v. 23  And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'

Daniel says 'until the end... and knowledge shall increase.'
This sure seems like we are having knowledge increased to us here at BT. 
Christ has given those in Him "the Spirit of truth," that the world does not have.

Joh 14:16 And, I, will request the Father, and, Another Advocate, will He give unto you, that He may be with you age-abidingly,
v.17 The Spirit of truth,—which, the world, cannot receive, because it beholdeth it not, nor getteth to know it. But, ye, are getting to know it; because, with you, it abideth, and, in you, it is.
v. 18 I will not leave you bereft,—I am coming unto you. (Rotherham)

mercy, peace, and love
