  1. Which should not be linked to the cloud that filled the OT Tabernacle in the desert to avoid inserting false subtext by the mismatching of Scriptures.
  2. I'm blessed everyday just doing routine tasks and needing to decide on the method and means to do something and I will be given the answer by the Holy Spirit. If I'm not onto it the enemy will try and get me to dismiss the Spirit's solution, which is a good reason to pray and take every thought into captivity, as we are exhorted to do: 2Co 10:5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, It says to bring EVERY thought into captivity TO THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST, even the little ones, like what tool to use.
  3. Hebrews 12:1: Hebrews 12:1 mentions a metaphorical cloud of witnesses surrounding us. This as a reference to departed saints who serve as examples to motivate us, and witnesses in our spirit to affirm us in our faith journey. This verse gets misinterpreted to imply constant surveillance or observation by departed saints of earthly events.
  4. Yes, poetic license allows us to use terms metaphorically. In this case Paul is illustrating how it is possible to build on the foundation of Jesus Christ with trite and fanciful principles, programs, and projects of no eternal value, which disposable things will qualify as a loss to those responsible for them, and how things that are worth keeping and things that are theologically solid will endure, being of eternal value. Scope of Metaphor: 1Co 3:10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. The fact that all the physical elements of the world dissolve is not the main scope of the metaphor, but rather that heed should be taken to build with things that endure beyond the temporal realm. 2Pe 3:11-13 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, (12) looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? (13) Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
  5. Someone's mixing contexts. Moses isn't metaphorical in the Tabernacle.
  6. And then there are mushroom clouds . . . , if you get my drift.
  7. I do use the Amplified Bible when necessary. . .
  8. Let's dispense with the tautology and say that OT prophecies foretold the future. The reason they do this is because God calls them to their ministry, and gifts them with their message. 1Pe 1:10-12 Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, (11) searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. (12) To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which angels desire to look into. 2Pe 1:19-21 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; (20) knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, (21) for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. Admittedly there is a close association and shared usage of the terms prophecy and prediction, both in secular and ecclesiastical narratives, but a more accurate Biblical Theology doesn't confine prophecy to prediction.
  9. Yes, that's obedience to the Holy Spirit. There have been a few times when the Holy Spirit has spoken to me but the noise and business of the day have seemed more important, and then something has happened and I have wished I had paid attention to the Holy Spirit. This has led me to ask the Holy Spirit to speak louder to get my undivided attention if I'm not picking up.
  10. Can you provide facts to substantiate that claim. In all my years, 7 decades, prophecy has not been a synonym for prediction. There has been enough said on Worthy already about that misconception.
  11. Hi @Johnmodra English may not be your first language so you should correct this sub-heading on your YouTube video also as it actually means that No Attention should be paid to the warnings. 3 Biblical Warnings To Heed is what you mean.
  12. A number of times I have been warned by the Holy Spirit of "rough passage" ahead and my first thought has been that I should take a detour and not show up at the time and place proposed, but the Holy Spirit has prompted me to stay the course, so I have done that and Yes, rough passage endured by the grace of God with Psalm 23 in mind.
  13. The answer is here: 1Co 14:1-3 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. (2) For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. (3) But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.
