English “graven” in Acts 17:29 was translated from Greek 5480 charagma which was translated into English “mark” in Revelation 13:16, 13:17, 14:9, 14:11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20 and 20:4. If you understand none of God’s other biblical spiritual truth understand Greek 5480 charagma and understand that the “beast” in Revelation 13:16, 13:17, 14:9, 14:11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20 and 20:4 is any grammatical subject other than God which is every flesh human grammatical subject other than Jesus Christ. “Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six”. The human beings displacing God as grammatical subject are here, their number is 666 because they came at the sixth seal, the sixth vial and the sixth trump and the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” “day of the Lord Jesus” will come at the seventh trump as documented in Isaiah 27:13 the 2nd chapter of Joel, Matthew 24:29-31 Acts 17:31 2Peter 3:9-13 1Corinthians 15:52 and 1Thessalonians 4:16. The word “rapture” is not in the King James Bible. Not in English. Not in Hebrew. Not in Greek. The etymology of English apocalypse is from Greek noun 602 apokalypsis which was correctly translated into “Revelation” in “The Revelation of Jesus Christ” in Revelation 1:1. The 4,351 world religions alphabetically listed by Adherents.com do indeed cause their congregations to escape “The Revelation of Jesus Christ”.
English “with the life thereof” in Genesis 9:4 was translated from Hebrew noun 5315 nephesh which was correctly translated 475 times into English “soul”. Genesis 9:4 warned us “But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat”. Jesus tried to clear this up when he said “I am that bread of life” “Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day”. To make it clear Jesus followed up with “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Some of the world’s 4,351 religious denominations are predicated upon not eating a rare steak which has nothing to do with ingesting flesh thoughts and feelings.
Acts 17:29 “Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device”. English “graven” above was translated from Greek 5480 charagma which was translated into English “mark” in Revelation 13:16, 13:17, 14:9, 14:11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20 and 20:4. Greek 5480 charagma is the “mark” of the “beast” in Revelation 13:16, 13:17, 14:9, 14:11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20 and 20:4. The “beast” is in fact any grammatical subject other than God which is every flesh human grammatical subject other than Jesus Christ. English “with the life thereof” in Genesis 9:4 was translated from Hebrew noun 5315 nephesh which was correctly translated 475 times into English “soul”. Hebrew verb 398 akal was sometimes translated into English “eat” but in the context of Genesis 9:4 and John 6:48-63 it warns us not to ingest spiritual things from flesh sources. Reminder, the Apostle Paul said: “in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing”. In my flesh dwells no good thing. In your flesh dwells no good thing. In the flesh human being behind a pulpit dwells no good thing. We have one option; divest our flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. Please go back to God’s Hebrew Reference to the Seed Sower post and reread the bible verses translated from Hebrew noun 4284 machashabah and reconsider what God said about flesh “thoughts” of human beings. Hebrew noun 4284 machashabah truly meaning “thoughts” was also translated into English “devices” in “The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect” and back into “thoughts” in “The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations”. God is employing a process pursuant to God’s will whereby a finite number of human beings willingly divest themselves of their flesh thoughts in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts during this earth age. God is simultaneously employing a process pursuant to God’s will whereby “the rest” will divest themselves of their flesh thoughts in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day”. “For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him” “To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”.
I have repeatedly referred to the finite number of “election” God said “I have reserved to myself” “the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded”. It is important to understand that “the election” know they are no better than “the rest” they are merely “a chosen vessel” “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us”. There are millions of self professed born “again” Christians even though “again” in John 3:3 and 3:7 was mistranslated from Greek adverb 509 anothen which appears in 13 bible verses. Anyone who studies those 13 verses will understand beyond any reasonable doubt that Greek adverb 509 anothen means from above and should subsequently understand that we are not born again by our faith in God. We are born from above by God’s faith in us pursuant to God’s will. “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”. The “election” understand they will not know if they have completed transition from flesh thoughts to be wholly God’s spiritual thoughts until they take their last flesh breath, insuring their humility.
