Reference passages for 2 Timothy 3:10-17

Reference passages for 2 Timothy 3:10-17

S - Ephesians 6:17
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 


O - The word of God described by Paul as the sword of the Spirit. The more we read and know what God's word is, the more we can use it to defend against the evil one.


S - 2 Peter 1:20-21
20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.


O - We often forget that we can't be Godly without Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit. Instead we think that we have great knowledge and the understanding of the bible, or can sing praises, or can serve and do ministry because of our own strengths and our own will.
This verse also emphasizes that ALL of the bible is God-breathed, and not the words of man alone.


S - Hebrews 4:12
12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.


O - Again the sword symbolism. Shows how the word of God can work in our present day lives. It is a rock and more resilient than we can ever be. It shouldn't just govern our physical behaviours and outward appearances, but also our inner person.


S - Psalm 19:1-14
For the director of music. A psalm of David.

• 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. 3 There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. 4 Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun, 5 which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course. 6 It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat. 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. 8 The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. 9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous. 10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. 11 By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. 12 Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults. 13 Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me.Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression. 14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

O - This psalm gives interesting perspective on the word of God. We don't tend to think about it this way and thank the Lord for it.

P- v12-14 is my prayer. Pray that God will help me to discern my sin, and keep away from it, so that I may be pleasing in his sight.

1 Corinthians 12

Notes from this morning's sermon by Ps David. Quite apt as church was having a members meeting and I was going to youth MYF elections after church.

S - 1 Corinthians 12

Are you speaking, acting, using your gifts in ignorance?

What do your words and actions say about your allegiance?

If they tell others that you are a follower of Jesus, you are a spiritual person

Spiritual gifts are from God

Manifested by the Spirit

Are individually given to us - unique

Do you recognize yourself as a wonderful, useful creation of God?

Are you working in the Spirit to drclare Christ as Lord?

If not, Paul says you are just like pagan

At Pentecost, Holy Spirit cane and filled them individually and also them as a body of Christ

Build each other up, support each other. Equip and encourage each other. We all have a purpose, dont compare and try to be like someone else

Purpose not for us

Dont be jealous of one another

When one part of the body is hurting everybody hurts with them

If one part of the body isnt doing their part, the whole body suffers

Are you one with the body?

Are you serving the body?

P - Pray that I can be a fully functional part of the body of Christ.

Thank God for MYF elections - though a very long meeting, really glad he put a bunch of mostly new people to the committee for next year, in the hopes that they can be taught and trained (like 2 Timothy 3!) for the purpose of God's people.

2 Timothy 3:10-17

S - 2 Timothy 3:10-17
So change the reading plan and now I feel completely no pressure to read at all...and this passage is about listening to God. How ironic.

10 You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 persecutions, sufferings--what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconiumand Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.


O - Though Paul's obedience to God's word has led him into persecution and jail, he stands firm in his faith that God will bring him out of these times just as he did before. He has a feeling this time he is about to face his death (4:6-8) but writes a letter to Timothy to encourage him to guard the gospel (1:14).


1. Stand firm - a right relationship with God comes from a true knowledge of God. That's why Paul wants Timothy to guard the gospel.
But why Timothy?
A) 4:12 - "Do not let anyone despise your youth"
Youth - at the time referring to adults to age 40
Timothy risked being despised.
1 Timothy 5:23 - Paul hinted that Timothy was often sick
2Timothy 1:7-8 - Timothy was timid when it came to standing up for Jesus


B) 2 Timothy 2:17-18 "wandered from the truth"
2 Timothy 4:3-4 "will not put up with sound doctrine...turn aside from truth"
People were abandoning the gospel.
v13 - people will go from bad to worse.
3:15 - "lovers of themselves, money, pleasure, rather than lovers of God."
Results in breakdown of morals in relationships from the godless self-centredness.
3:5 - "Holding a form of godliness but denying its power" - showy, no substance. religious but no godliness. faith without good works of a life changed by Jesus
3:6-7 - they also evanglise, spread like gangrene.


John Stott says the false teaching has 3 marks:
declining morals
Increasing showiness
Passionate/evangelising zeal


but they are about myths, not the Messiah
Religion not righteousness,
superstitions not salvation


They are what our "itching ears want to hear" 2 Timothy 4:3-4
About God revolving around me; nothing to do with Jesus, nothing about me revolving around Jesus. Nothing about the gospel which saves us. Everything about the half gospels which please us.


C) Jesus and the gospel is not a popular message.
Timothy should not expect to be popular as he preached and lived this. Could be deserted like a spiritual leper - like Paul his mentor, like Jesus his Saviour.
Paul says "Do not mind these..."
3:14 - "but as for you continue"
Continue in what and whom? Timothy learnt the gospel of Jesus from Paul who taught him how Jesus fulfilled the OT promises and how Jesus is the saviour.


But "mind" the credentials of your faith - "All scripture"
"All scripture is God=breathed and is useful" - Paul wants to defend the origin and purpose of the Bible.


Origin - The scripture is the Word of God because he spoke it. How do you know God spoke it? The Bible says so.
Jesus' attitude to God's Word 
Matt 4:4 - "Man does not live by bread alone but every Word that proveeeds from the mouth of God".


Purpose - "useful for teaching, rebuking"
teaching the truth of God, the gospel, Jesus
and refuting false and half gospels
Paul's call to teach sound doctrine, trustworthy message of the Gospel.
The more Timothy and us know the real Gospel, we will be able to tell apart the false ones.


"...correcting & training in righteousness"
righteousness - right living. True thinking leads to true living. The Gospel affects godliness.




This will lead us to be "thoroughly equipped" - mature


A -
The focus of Scripture is Salvation - how God saves us and we have to keep listening to Jesus
Salvation is
being saved from Sin in Jesus Christ
a past action with present implications
a point in time and a process of time




v15 - "make you wise for salvation"
How can we make full use of the Scripture, or do we need to fulfill what's been mentioned and written in the Scripture?
The Bible is supremely about God saving us. Through Jesus. The focus of attention is Jesus first, not us first. In reading the bible, look for Jesus - not for comfort, blessing, promise, morality, religion or spirituality.
The Scriptures will instruct you for salvation through faith in Jesus


P - living a life changed for Jesus in godliness, especially since about to be baptised. Keep close and continue to stand firm. read the bible!

Colossians 2:6-12 (Back to Basics)

S - Colossians 2:6-12
(So apparently, the last post wasn't what dad had in mind when he said to get a big picture of Christianity and the bible. So he asked me to read the notes from the Back to Basics sermons from our church in Singapore. I'm taking care to study the passage in question, not the sermon, but it definitely helps with extrapolating the application side of things.)

6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.
9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. 11 In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead

O - (Some notes from the written sermon that captured the main points of the passage.)
Christianity is all about Jesus - who he is and what he has come to do. We started with Jesus, we continue with Jesus and we will end with Jesus.
Greatest sin is to move on from Jesus.
Don't move on from Jesus. Jesus is enough. He is all I need to be acceptable to God (contrary to the Colossian herecy)
Only Jesus can save sinners without compromising God's holiness, can save us, and can take our rebellion.
but what about Jesus that we need to know?
The Gospel:
We are saved by grace alone
Christ alone
the Bible alone
and faith alone.

God saves me by grace - his grace is Jesus, we know of Jesus from only one source - the Bible, and we received him in one way alone - by faith. We don't need anything more or less than Jesus (in adding we have subtracted from Christ).

v6 continue to live in him
Be cautious that our subjective experience of the Christian life doesn't become the objective measure. If not, our experience of Jesus or the Bible would become the determinant of what is true.

Another way to understand Jesus - 1 Corinthians 15
v3-6 "Christ died for our sin according to the scriptures. That he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then the twelve."

- the gospel is a message that is preached
- the gospel is received and passed on from person to person
- by this gospel we are saved
- but we must hold firmly to it
- the message of the gospel is about Jesus

The most significant thing about Jesus is his death. He died for our sins, he rose, and it was according to what God had been saying in the OT.
We aren't saved by ANYTHING ELSE. (not spiritual experiences, not feeling close to God)
Without Jesus & the Gospel - if we just teach how Jesus came to die for us without teaching WHY - we end up practicing religion in stead of practicing righteousness.

Gospel can lead us to 2 problems though
Galations 5:1 "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery".
Means we are free not to sin. Can be easily misinterpreted to be free from everything!

Jesus = grace of God and the Law of God.
In believing Jesus, we keep God's law because he has kept it fully for us.
The legalist focuses on all law, and no grace (like Pharisees). "You have to..."
The libertine focuses on all grace and no law. "I don't have to..."

but the true Christian who knows Jesus "In knowing Jesus, both the grace and law, I want to (1) live God's way, (2) read God's word, (3) pray to God, (4) meet with God's people, (5) share Jesus".

The Gospel

Gospel Minus	The Gospel (saved by…)	Gospel Plus
	Grace alone	Grace + Works
Jesus the liberator Jesus the religious man Jesus the moralist Jesus the blesser (all subtracts from Jesus himself)	Jesus alone	Jesus + the Law Jesus + Circumcision Jesus + Baptism Jesus + Holy Spirit
	Bible Alone	Bible + Tradition Bible + Experience Bible + Rational
	Faith Alone	Faith + Works

Gospel Living

Libertine	Gospel Freedom	Legalist
Belief: Anti-Law or anti-nomian Behaviour: I don’t have to Too much grace, no Law	Belief: Christ is our Law Behaviour: I want to Christ = Grace + Law	Belief: Keep the "law" Behaviour: You have to Too much law, no grace
Jesus takes me as I am! Cosmetic changes to life No change in values	1) Live God's way: Say no to… Say yes to...	Focuses on non-essentials
Listen to man's word	2) Listen to God's Word	Listen to Translation Listen to Bible reading
Talk about whatever Immanence problem	3) Talk to God	Talk about the posture (e.g. must kneel while praying!) Transcendence problem
I walk alone	4) Meeting with God's people	Focus on "fellowshipitis" Focus on "encouragement/comfort"
It's all predestined anyway	5) Evangelise	Focus on method Focus on building bridges

Back to Basics Overview
Saved by Christ alone - Romans 5
Saved by Faith alone (Ephesians 2), Grace alone (Titus 2), Bible alone (2 Timothy 3)
trust in Christ                                 by grace, live God's way      listen to God's Word

Saved to Pray (Philippians 4), to be God's family (Hebrews 10), Saved to save the world (Colossians 3)
talk to God                            meet to keep going                       share Jesus


A -
1) Living God's way
our Success can then be defined when we are called in the kingdom of God
Priority - to live for Jesus - Godliness
Value - defined by God - I am who I am by grace
Commitment - base decisions and actions around Christ

2) Listening to God
For me, I'm delving into the scriptures this Back to Basics thing covers. I think that I'm not even that solid with Christian basics as yet. Reading God's word everyday and making notes. Then the plan is to read Foundations of the Christian Faith by James Montgomery Boice so then when I go read the whole bible systematically, I'll be able to understand it better and fit each passage and each book into the big picture of Jesus.

3) Praying to God
Some different prayers suggested were
- Biblical prayers: Pray from God's Word, pray from the Bible for people
- Trinitarian prayer: talking to God our Father, through the Son led by the Spirit
- Kingdom prayer: focus on what matters to God because Jesus is King
- Trusting prayers: Talk to God about daily needs
- Simple prayers: Talk to God from the heart, raise issues and leave them with Him
- Changed prayers: Expect God to answer prayer. Expect to be changed by God's yes, no and wait answers.
- In groups, pray first. Spend more time praying than sharing. (This one is going to be hard, but I'll pray about it)

4) Fellowshipping with God's people
- Make meeting God's people a priority in big groups (church service ) and small groups (youth and smaller prayer group) and one-to-one relationships (not doing at the moment)
- Meet to remind one another of Jesus - his life, death, resurrection and coming again (not all the time)
- Meet to encourage one another in faith, obedience and Godliness (faith and obedience are ok, Godliness itself not really spoken about)
- Meet one-to-one with one person from church/youth to read the bible, pray and encourage to Godliness (not doing at the moment...I think this is the hardest for me)
- Meet to love and serve one another, not to judge one another (another hard one...especially on music worship team)

5) Evangelism
- Learn what is the Gospel of Jesus. Focus on Message. (Trying to do now!)
- Learn How to share Gospel e.g. 2ways to live. Focus on presenting message clearly
- Pray, practice, plan to do evangelism in youth groups
- Pray for friends specifically. Focus on a person. Think friendships.

P - I was really challenged by this passage and the sermon delivered from it. Pray that I won't border on the libertine or legalistic "Christians" but come to understand the true person of Jesus and the Gospel. Pray that God will be guiding me as I change my bible reading to starting with the basics first.
The applications above that I noted as more difficult for me - one to one bible reading and true, quality fellowship. Also prayers. Pray that I will continue to work on them for Jesus alone, to glorify God.

Old Testament Overview

3 dimensions - literary, historical, theological
39books - over 1000 years or more
books are customarily divided into 4 groups: Law, History, Prophecy, Poetry

Biblical History
Abraham - called by God to go from Mesopotamia --> Canaan - promises of descendants.
Promise passed on to son Isaac, and Isaac's son Jacob.
Jacob's descendants migrated to Egypt. Slavery.
God sent Moses to lead them to promised land Canaan.
Long process, made covenant @ Mount Sinai - nation of Israel bound to God as his people.

Form of government of the covenant when the Israelites settled into Canaan.
King Saul - false start
David - great leader, united the trives, established capital city, secured borders, set up proper admin.
Solomon - ambitious, unwise policies --> dissatisfaction.
Solomon's son - rebellion, 10 tribes of north withdrew to become kingdom of Israel, while dynasty of David continued to rule over southern kingdom of Judah.

Secession led to general decline in north & south.
Prophets continued to call the people back to faith and God's covenant.
North defeated by Assyrians 722BC, ceased to be an independent state.
Babylon defeated south, Jerusalem destroyed 586BC, most people deported, Judah ceased to be a political entity.

Jews' exile in Babylon ended when
Cyrus the Persian overcame Babylon's power, captives returned home 538BC
Many Jews stayed in Babylon, good life.
Jews who returned struggled reconstructing state of Judah. With the Persians, they reconstructed Jerusalem and the Temple.
But glory of the golden age of David and Solomon never returned, OT period comes to an end.

3.5 centuries between OT and NT - most complex political developments in the Jewish state,
Fall of the Persian Empire when Alexander the Great came into Asia Minor, to Egypt and Babylon to the borders of India.
Hellenistic culture - conflict between pagan Greek philosophies and Hebrew devotion of the Law and religion of the one True God.

Middle of 1st century BC, Romans entered Middle East region, Jews ended up in the province of the Roman Empire.

Matthew 17

S - Matt 17 "The Transfiguration"
O -
Who? v1 - Jesus, Peter, James and John the brother of James.
Where? v1 - high mountain
What?  2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.


Moses appears as the representative of the old covenant and promise of salvation, soon to be fulfilled in the death of Jesus. Elijah appears as the appointed restorer of all things.


v5 - God said the same thing from heaven when Jesus was baptised 3:17


v6 - terrified, with a sense of awe at the presence and majesty of God


v13 - Elijah = John the Baptist - restorer of all things??


v20 - little faith - quality not quantity. Mountain move - refers to removing the problems associated with the work of the kingdom


(no v21? lol)


v22 - second prediction of Christ's death. First in 16:21.
Must've pretty daunting for the disciples...perhaps they believed him to only some extent?


v26 - "sons are exempt" Implies that Peter and the disciples are God family (royal household), therefore exempt from collecting duty and taxes, but unbelieving Jews were not. 
On a greater scale could represent Jesus coming to die, but that would be for everyone - both believers and non-believers. So doesn't apply.


A - Improve bible context knowledge
P - Dad just told me to read this book and that book that will give me the big picture and allow me to understand the bible better when doing readings like this. I think I'm going to do that first...

Matthew 16

S - Matt 16
O -
1The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.2He replied, "When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,'3and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.4A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah." Jesus then left them and went away.
v1 - the Pharisees wanted more compelling proof of Jesus' divine authority than his miracles, but he refused because the request came from unbelief.This was asked back in Matt 12:38, and Jesus gave the same reply.It is interesting that he says the Pharisees and Sadducees "cannot interpret the signs of the times". because of their unbelief? or because God works in ways that can't be explained.
6"Be careful," Jesus said to them. "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
referring to the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees (v12)


8Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, "You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread?9Do you still not understand? Don't you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?10Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?11How is it you don't understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
Again, like in Matt 15, it's as though Jesus is saying to them: you spiritually dull people! where is your faith. It seems insane that Jesus can perform these incredible miracles and yet when the same situation comes around the 3rd time, the disciples still lack faith and don't trust that Jesus will bring them through once more. Goes to show that Jesus' answer to the Pharisees and Sadducees is spot on. Many of the modern generation yearn for miracles and signs, but even if there are many miracles performed and witnessed by people, that doesn't mean their faith in God is strengthened, when it really should.
13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"14They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
Caesarea Philippi - region was especially Pagan. Originally namedd after Greek god Pan, "Paneas" (Banias)
15"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"16Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
The OT equivalent (Messiah) is used of anyone who was anointed with the holy oil, e.g. priests and kings of Israel.
Idea of being chosen by God, consecrated to his service, endued with his power to accomplish the assigned task.
Toward end of OT period, "Christ" assumed special meaning - denoted the ideal king anointed and empowered by God to rescue his people from their enemies and establish his righteous kingdom.
Messiah - tended to be political and national in nature. (Probably why Jesus seldom used the term).
17Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man,but by my Father in heaven.18And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hadeswill not overcome it.19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."20Then he warned his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
v18 - In Greek "Peter" is petros - detached stone and "rock" is petra - bedrock. Several interpretations - The 'bedrock' on which the church is built is1) Christ2) Peter's confession of faith in Jesus as the Messiah v163) Christ's teachings - one of the great emphases of Matthew's Gospel4) Peter himself, understood in terms of his role on the day of Pentecost (Acts2), the Cornelius incident (Ac10) and his leadership among the apostlesEph 2:20 - church is "built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone"
Church - this word only used by Matthew in the Gospels (here and twice in 18:17).In Septuagint - used for the congregation of Israel.In Greek circles of Jesus' day it indicated the assembly of free, voting citizens in a city.
Hades - Greek name for the place of departed spirits, equivalent to Hebrew Sheol."gates of Hades" may mean "powers of death" - all forces opposed to Christ and his kingdom (but see note on Job 17:16)
v20 - Because of the false concepts of the Jews, who looked for an exclusively national and political Messiah, Jesus told his disciples not to publicized Peter's confession, lest it precipitate a revolution against Rome.21From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.


The beginning of a new emphasis in Jesus' ministry. Instead of teaching the crowds in parables, he concentrated on preparing the disciples of his coming suffering and death.


22Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. "Never, Lord!" he said. "This shall never happen to you!"23Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."Satan - a loanword from Hebrew, meaning "adversary" or "accuser". 
24Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.25For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.26What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?27For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.28I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."v28 2 interpretations...1. prediction of the transfiguration which happened a week later (17:1), and which demonstrated that Jesus will return in his Father's glory (16:27)2. Refers to the Son of Man's authority and kingly reign in his post-resurrection church. Some of his disciples will witness - even participate in - this as described in Acts. context seems to favour the first view (note 2 Pe1:16 - In Christ's transfiguration the disciples received a foretaste of what his coming willl be like when he returns to establish his eternal kingdom"
P - I read the references from the study bible from those 2 interpretation parts and learnt a lot. Thanks God. Thanks Spirit.
