Lake of Fire...Num 31:21
Jackie Lee:
Hi Brenda, hope this pertains..
Psalms 12-6
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
I believe 7 times represent perfection.
Jody Edwards:
Hi Brenda,
I think you have understood this spiritual meaning of this scripture correctly. We all must pass thru the refiners fire (judged and purified), whether now or in the Lake of Fire. And we must wash our clothes in water (Holy Spirit) so that they will be white as snow and can "enter the camp". Numbers 31:21 is a good scripture to remember.
I hope your study on Rev. Ch. 4 is going well. Julie and I look forward to talking with you on Sunday.

Earl: I remember sometime ago I worked with a man who was a pentacostal. We were talking and he said that we didn't have to follow the sabath because when Jesus died on the cross The 4th comandment died with Him. Is this something like you said? I then ask this man what about the other 9? if Jesus did away with the 4th when He died why should we obey the rest of the comandments? He gave me some B.S. and I let it go. My belief is Jesus said not one jolt or dot should not be changed. I got go with Jesus. Just in case I better try real hard to keep all 10 comandments.

I'm guessing here but it maybe the animal sacrifice/purification part of the old Law for sin that we no longer practice that Earl was commenting on? { I'm feeling better, thanks for asking Earl :) }
Thanks Jackie Lee: I was also seeing this one pertain to the metals, which is why I see it line up with the LOF & our Judgement now for the called as Jody pointed out!
1 Corinthians 3:11
After all, no one can lay any other foundation than the one that is already laid, and that is Jesus the Messiah.
Whether a person builds on this foundation with gold, silver, expensive stones, wood, hay, or straw,
the workmanship of each person will become evident, for the day of judgment will show what it is, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person's work.
................................................................................
If what a person has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If his work is burned up, he will suffer loss. However, he himself will be saved, but it will be like going through fire.
................................................................................
There are many who are more advanced in the symbolism that may understand the different metals & if they represent a deeper or detail of the meaning to our workmanship?
Back at you Jody & Julie...looking forward to it! ;)
Thanks for all the comments,
Brenda

In other words, gold, silver, bronze, iron, and the lead, are things that can endure fire.
They might melt, but they don't burn away. so the fire is a process of purification, get rid
of the bad and you have the good left. But the clothes, could not endure fire so they were
put through water, (vr.23) It was for purifing from sin. ( Nu.19:9 ). As you know Christ
died for sin so that law is not in effect today.
I don't think you can compare this with the lake of fire.
Just my comment. Hope you are feeling better.

Hi there Earl and welcome...
Could i ask you, to pease explain further ......
Rodger.
Read Brenda's post again; " Then it must also be put through the ritual water in order
to take away it's sin.". This was a statute for the children of Israel. Nu.19:10. It was for
purifying from sin. v.9. We are not under that law today, it has no effect on us today.
Now, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. 1st John 1:7 Does that help?
