Jesus was preparing His disciples for the things which were about to come, His crucifixion, death, resurrection, and His ascension up to heaven to prepare a place for us until He comes back at His second coming.
Verse 32, Jesus says they will scatter, every man to his own way. There will come a time when Jesus is crucified, and the horror of that sight, and the disappointment and discouragement that will come upon them, they will all scatter! Jesus didn't say it was wrong. He said this is what you're going to do. Every man to his own, that is, his own house or place. They will scatter and go back to their own homes discouraged and disheartened. They are going to leave Him up on the cross to die alone, and yet Jesus says I am not alone because the Father is with me.
Verse 33, Jesus says these things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Jesus is telling them what to expect after He leaves. But He tells them that they will overcome, as He overcame. He says that in Him, they would have peace.
Peace is not a tranquil feeling that God gives us to make us feel good. Our peace is in Christ. In Ephesians 2:14, Paul says about the Jew and the Gentile who have been separated that in Christ, He is our peace. Peace is a person!
He is our peace who has made both one, Jew and Gentile, and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us and brought us all into one. In the Greek text, EIRENE for peace means to unite, to become one.
For me to find my peace in Christ, it means that in all of my situations I lineup with Him, I unite with Him, and I keep my focus on Him. He will be my peace, my unity with Him.
Paul said in 1 Cor. 1:30-31 that Christ is our sanctification, Christ is our righteousness. I'm clothed in His righteousness. I've not gained any for myself. He went on to say Christ is our wisdom. Now we're told that Christ is our peace!
We know it is the Blood of Christ alone that saves, otherwise He would have died in vain.
Luke 23:43
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
The thief didn't require water baptism to be saved, had he lived and come in contact with disciples he'd have heard same commandment, his action would have been same as Eunich.
Acts 8:36
And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
If the same Spirit that wrote the Word, be in us then would not that Spirit obey His own Word. And would It not act the same way in us as it did in them?
As for churches and people, I cannot say, but we all know that God is only obligated to His Word, for He is the Word, and heaven and earth shall pass away, but His words shall not pass away.
Matthew 15:9
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Psalms 119:6
Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
2 Corinthians 10:5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
And Christ is the Word.
1 John 1:1
"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
2 John 1:6
And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
Ezekiel 36:27
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
And this is love, that we walk after his commandments.
John 16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:
Bible book Song of Solomon 5:10 - My beloved is WHITE white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
Bible book Lamentations 4:7 - Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were WHITER whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:
Revelation 1:14 - His (Jesus) HEAD and his hairs were WHITE white like wool, as WHITE white as SNOW; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass,
(Brass is made of copper which is REDDISH GOLDEN BROWN, not black) as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
Who generally printed the Bibles and built all the churches?

Many "black Hebrews" claim whites are the children of the devil via Esau and the Canaanites via the Hittites.
Some even advocate the killing of whites to fulfill the command of the Lord to kill the Canaanites
Genesis 25:25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau..
Genesis 26:34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
Deuteronomy 20:17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:
John 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
Luke 22:36 Then said he (Jesus) unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Comments by Alex on john 16 : 22 When he said he wd see them Again in a lil while which is a time of gestation.In v 22 after the woman gives birth Jesus says then i will See you Again.But this is so beautifully Presented in Rev 12 : 10 They saw him Again after the child was born the Child being the H.G. a KINGDOM CHILD,After the woman gives birth John said NOW IS COME SALVATION AND STRENGHT AND THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD AND THE POWER of his Christ ( the Christ child which is the H.G.We are the Women, No more sorrows after her Child is come. A kingdom child, unless ya receive the Kingdom as a lil Child etc,You will in no wise enter there in. Thats y he said we must be bornagain i.e we must birth Christ in our hearts etc the son of man.The manchild is the H.G. simply b/c Jesus said that which is BORN OF THE SPIRIT ( HIS WORDS ) IS SPIRIT Jesus cd not refer to the H.G as the PROMISE unless the H.G WAS HIS OWN MULTIPLICATION,that was the great Promise i will multiply thy SEED as the stars of heaven thus when we are bornagain we will see him Again via the Promise the H.G. The woman keeps the commandments simply b/c she cannot sin simply b/c she is born of God thus she has the testimony of Jesus.
In the name of Jesus I am asking to heavenly Father to make me and my family very rich,holy, very happy,give long life,very very safe, very very inteligent, very very brave,very peaceful, very very hard working,very healthy , give me a very very gorgeous wife very soon and taking these blessings from you heavenly Father by claiming the Bible verses " John 16:23;24" " I will give you what ever you ask in my name to heavenly father,ask and you will receive and your Joy will come true"
comments on John 16 v 18 they didnt understand what he was talking bout a lil while this and a lil while that its still a mystery but here is what it is When he goes to the father thats the seed sowing mode he is the sower of the good seed that is gona produce a lil child in us a spritual birth then we will see him again,whosoever receives one such child in my name receives me,Thats y he is telling them a bout a woman in travail and birth pains,his seed is gona result in sorrows b/c i have spoken these words ( seeds ) sorrows have filled your hearts sorrows imply a spritual pregnancy but after the child comes then her sorrows are turned into joy which is the Child a spritual Child th H.G. He is impling a time of gestation, sorrows but after the child comes then our sorrows are turned into joy. His voice is his words his seeds etc he is the bridegroom and his seed is his WORD ( HIS BREATH ETC ) The lil while he mentions is a time of Gestation our hearts is like a womb where that good seed will be sown.John said he was a friend of the bridegroom and my Joy is fulfilled just to hear the bridegrooms voice ( his words etc ) Thats y he tells them of a woman in travail and birth pains etc.We are gonna see him again when we birth him, thats y he saying unless ya receive the kingdom as a lil child, a lil child implies a birth.when they asked him about the 2 nd coming and the end of the world he mentions sorrows ( child birth ) our new birth 27 times the prophets saw the world in travail and birth pains there is a baby Christ in our future thats y he always refers to himself as the son of man.But jeremiah is very bold and says he saw ALL men in travail and birth pains no wonder Jesus said the field was the world where that good seed will be sown the child is the H.G.
The Apostles creed (I believe) is not in the Bible. The Vatican wants us to believe they were responsible for it.
The Greek churches as well as Rome hammered out the Creeds.
Part 3 NICENE CREED:
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father [and the Son]; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.
[ John 15:26, John 16:13, John 14:26]
And I believe one holy catholic (catholic means universal, not Rome)
and apostolic Church.
[ Ephesians 4:5]
I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
[ Acts 19:4, Acts 22:16, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Mark 1:8, John 11:25, 1 Peter 1:3, Revelation 20:6]
Camille Greetings, the coming kingdom of God when Christ returns in glory is likened to a woman in pain during childbirth. Then when the child is delivered the pain ceases and the woman is happy cause her child is born. She has Joy and forgets the former pain. at least that is how I see it and others might see different and be right.
John 16:21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
Jesus said these things are hid from the wise and prudent but revealed unto BABES and Sucklings which are the CHILDREN of PROMISE THE H.G. that which is born of the SPIRIT. Thats y he always spoke in parables it was hid spritually at that time as the BOOK is not opened till the last day as God told Daniel. Jesus said the good seed ( the book ) JESUS WORDS will be sown N HUMANITY thats y the Women goes into birth pains she heard the bridegrooms seed his WORDS THATS y the prophets saw the world in travail and birth pains as Jesus said the field was the world where that good seed will be sown and he said the good seed are children of the kingdom that are gonna be born in US via his seed th WORD
John 16:32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
You are correct. In our prayers and confessions we go through Christ. John 14:13 and 14. Verse 14 says" if you shall ask any thing in my name I will do it. Christ is the one who takes our prayers to the Father. John 15:16 and John 16:23,24.I trust these few texts will help you.
Some believe that if you're following God that He'll make you wealthy and healthy. You'll see people on TV making such claims along with Joel Osteen, etc. The problem is the Bible doesn't promise that and when people get ill they may start doubting their faith. The devil is the father of lies and deceives Christians with falsehoods. John 16:33, Romans 5:3-5, 2 Corinthians 6:3-5
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. Psalm 48:14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
Jesus said b c i have spoken these words sorrows have filled your hearts he describes these sorrows as a spritual pregnacy as a woman in travail has sorrows but her sorrows are turned into joy when the child comes the child is the h.g. born in us via his seed. these words he speaks of are his seeds which is gona initiate a birth of christ in us the lil while is 50 days at pentecost the child came.
Irene, WE are not supposed to pray to anyone or to anything except ""GOD through "JESUS CHRIST" our intercesor . The only way to salvation is through the blood of JESUS. John 16:24-26, Hebrews 8:25.
Best left up to God to say what is literal and what is spiritual. Hundreds and hundreds of fundamentalist that adhere to a strict literal interpretation are at odds with one another. They're divided! I'm a Baptist, I'm a Methodist, I'm a Presbyterian. What they are is dead blind and asleep. How it is that God has hidden the truth from the wise and prudent is in the spiritual understanding.
Amen! The Holy Ghost Spirit is in fact the Spirit of Christ. To receive His Spirit is to experience his second coming. The carnal mind is incapable of knowing him. That in fact is how God has hidden the truth from the wise and prudent. Ever learning never coming to the knowledge of the truth. The Word Of God MUST be spiritually discerned. God is A Spirit. Now the Lord is that Spirit.
John 16:33! John is always referred to as? disciple that Jesus loves? Why? always attentive: listening: Word: Teachings: etc: close to Jesus’ heart: Don’t you just Long for that: understands: knows: Jesus’ Heart: if we would just Strive to reach that goal: would all be on fire for God: could contribute: Church:World: Revelation of Jesus Christ:
Lord Help me to know you more each and every day:
Jesus prepared (1-33 above) the heart and mind of them then and us 2019; certain events shall take place as they did then and shall in these last-days; the book of Revelation is Wow! Wow! Wow!
Have you overcome the world, so completely devoid of truth. In America, truth is treated as garbage to be incinerated. No, we want lies from our leaders, who only lie to expedite their message, and continue in corruption, and have exploited Christians for this purpose. They chose based on the abortion issue. God,himself killed the 1st born in Egypt to convince Pharoh to let his chosen worship
But if one considers that oil means light and light means knowledge, than the oil of joy is the gift of God granted to those who seek him. Many believe the oil represents the anointing of the Holy Spirit. This wasn't granted till after our Lord was risen ( John 16:7, 20:22). So this chapter and 62 could be prophetic of our Lord pouring out God's grace on his people.
Jesus was preparing His disciples for the things which were about to come, His crucifixion, death, resurrection, and His ascension up to heaven to prepare a place for us until He comes back at His second coming.
