He also says, "In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end." (Heb 1:10-12)

(1 Tim. 4:7,8)Training in godliness is the WISEST thing you can do! How is that done? It includes: reading, pondering and MEMORIZING scripture, then putting it into practice. Correct, rebuke and encourage with scripture. GO AFTER SOULS, stay in prayer and forgive all who sin against you. LIVE HOLY.

They will throw them into THE FIERY FURNACE, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Mat. 13:41,42)[IF the wicked were annihilated out of existence, they could not be "weeping and gnashing their teeth."]
Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. (James 4:8-10)

The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star WAS GIVEN THE KEY TO THE SHAFT OF THE ABYSS.

People became SLAVES in Bible times, if they couldn't pay a debt, as clearly shown here:
As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. (Mat. 18:24,25)(**They had no bankruptcy as we do now.)

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. (1 Thess. 4:16,17)ANSWER: NO. That passage only proves the EVENT OF THE RAPTURE (also known as the "resurrection of the righteous" or "first resurrection" cf. Jn. 5:29a). The TIMING is clearly shown in Mark 13:24-27 to be POST tribulation.

One day I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home. He said, "Let us meet in the house of God, inside the temple, and let us close the temple doors, because men are coming to kill you - by night they are coming to kill you." But I said, "Should a man like me run away? Or should one like me go into the temple to save his life? I will not go!" I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had prophesied against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would commit a sin by doing this, and then they would give me a bad name to discredit me. Remember Tobiah and Sanballat, O my God, because of what they have done; remember also the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets who have been trying to intimidate me. (Neh. 6:10-14)Ponder that passage carefully, especially if you are a spiritual leader.

The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by." Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came A GENTLE WHISPER. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?" (1 Kings 19:11-13)

While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, WANTING TO SPEAK TO YOU."

The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire." "WHAT SHOULD WE DO THEN?" THE CROWD ASKED. (Luke 3:9,10)
When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "BROTHERS, WHAT SHALL WE DO?" Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:37,38 cf. 10:43-48)
Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose. The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted, "Don't harm yourself! We are all here!" The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. He then brought them out and asked, "SIRS, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?" They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved - you and your household." (Acts 16:26-31)**The society 2,000 years ago was much different than today, but the spiritual needs are the same. Now, it is very rare for anyone to ask the most avid soul winner how to be saved. (Oftentimes, likely due to the widespread OSAS lie, people believe - and often declare, and in a rush, - "I already got that" or "I'm good to go" and seem totally blinded to Mt. 10:22; Heb. 3:14; Rev. 2:10,11; Gal. 6:8,9.)

He replied, "Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. MANY WILL BE PURIFIED, MADE SPOTLESS AND REFINED, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand. (Dan. 12:9,10)
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, " THE HARVEST IS PLENTIFUL but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." (Mat. 9:36-38)
After this I looked and there before me was A GREAT MULTITUDE THAT NO ONE COULD COUNT, FROM EVERY NATION, TRIBE, PEOPLE AND LANGUAGE, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. (Rev 7:9) ... Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they, and where did they come from?" I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, " THESE ARE THEY WHO HAVE COME OUT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." (Rev 7:13-17)
"...The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. "Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!' "But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.' " Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour. (Mat 25:10-13)

Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be GLAD together. Thus the saying 'One sows and another reaps' is true. I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor." (John 4:35-38)

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath. Selah Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro: He bustles about, but only in vain; he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it. But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you. (Psa 39:4-7)
...I will lie down and sleep in peace, for YOU ALONE, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.

Then Jesus came to them and said, "ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH has been given to me. (Mat. 28:18)
"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, THE ALMIGHTY." (Rev. 1:8)

When the seven days were nearly over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him, shouting, "Men of Israel, help us! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against our people and our law and this place. And besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple area and defiled this holy place." (They had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with Paul and assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple area.) (Acts 21:27-29)
The whole city was aroused, and the people came running from all directions. Seizing Paul, they dragged him from the temple, and immediately the gates were shut. While THEY WERE TRYING TO KILL HIM, news reached the commander of the Roman troops that the whole city of Jerusalem was in an uproar. (Acts 21:30,31)
He at once took some officers and soldiers and ran down to the crowd. When the rioters saw the commander and his soldiers, they stopped beating Paul. The commander came up and ARRESTED HIM AND ORDERED HIM TO BE BOUND WITH TWO CHAINS. Then he asked who he was and what he had done. (Acts 21:32,33)IF you have unjustly suffered something similar, you are NOT alone. Don't have a pity party or get in unforgiveness.

His [Jehoshaphat] heart was devoted to the ways of the LORD; furthermore, he removed the high places and the Asherah poles from Judah. In the third year of his reign he sent his officials Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel and Micaiah to teach in the towns of Judah. With them were certain Levites - Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah and Tob-Adonijah--and the priests Elishama and Jehoram. THEY TAUGHT THROUGHOUT JUDAH, TAKING WITH THEM THE BOOK OF THE LAW OF THE LORD; THEY WENT AROUND TO ALL THE TOWNS OF JUDAH AND TAUGHT THE PEOPLE. The fear of the LORD fell on all the kingdoms of the lands surrounding Judah, so that they did not make war with Jehoshaphat. (2 Chr 17:6-10)**Good spiritual things happen after God's word goes forth, which the devil hates and will always try to stop. For more information, listen to Jesus' Parable of the Sower [AUDIO].

As one who is in the Lord Jesus, I am fully convinced that no food is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean. (Rom. 14:14)
There is no more dietary law, BUT if you think you are restricted - then you are (but not others, who know scripture better).
Clearly, as already cited in the past, the Christian Scriptures prove there is no more dietary law:
Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean.... He went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.' For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.' " (Mark 7:15-23)
They forbid people to marry and order them to ABSTAIN FROM CERTAIN FOODS, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer. If you point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, brought up in the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed. (1 Tim 4:3-6)

They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the LIFE of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. (Eph. 4:18)**Romans 8:35-39 is NOT support for the rampant HERESY of eternal security.

For a more in depth study of this question of the love of God and the life of God, refer to Nothing Can Separate Us.

Jesus said to him, "Away from me, SATAN! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.' Then THE DEVIL left him, and angels came and attended him. (Mat. 4:10,11)
The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called THE DEVIL, OR SATAN, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. (Rev. 12:9)Satan is NOT a New Testament invention, as some "intellectuals" may say. Job was tested by Satan:
Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason." "Skin for skin!" SATAN replied. "A man will give all he has for his own life. But stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse you to your face." (Job 2:3-5)
