The Holy Spirit Of The Ark

In this paper, I will review Robert Gromacki’s book The Holy Spirit: Who He is, What He Does I will detail what I feel the book is about. I will emphasize various points given by the author that stood out to me. Finally, I will give my personal evaluation of the book.

A big part of the end of the world in the Christian faith is something called the rapture. The rapture is when Jesus returns to take all those who believe in Him up to heaven and away from the earth. Those left on the earth are the people that rejected God and/or are part of different religions. When the rapture occurs, the Holy Spirit, God’s believed spirit that resides on the earth, will leave the earth and there will be nothing holding back evil. The time at which the rapture will occur is a subject of conflict among the Christian churches. The first and most popular theory is the “Pre-Tribulation” theory; the people in this group believe the rapture to occur right before the Tribulation. In this theory the rapture itself is sort of the “starting pistol” for the Tribulation. Next is the “Mid-Tribulation” theory, these people believe that Christians will have to suffer three-and-a-half years or halfway through the Tribulation. They believe that Christians are exempt from the wrath of God but are not exempt from the sufferings of the Tribulation. Similar is the “Post-Tribulation” theory; in this belief Christians are not raptured until the end of the Tribulation for much the same reasons as the “Mid-Trib” theory. Some also believe that even though Christians’ sins have been atoned for they still have to be punished with suffering in the Tribulation. The last and least commonly heard of theory is the “Pre-Wrath” theory. This group

Verses 4-8, refers to the first half of the tribulation, verse 5 tells of the coming of false Messiahs, in verses 6 and 7, the threats of widespread conflicts and

* Imminent return of Christ- about to happen, or having the potential of happening at any time.

Although some passages of the Bible can be ambiguous in their nature and meaning, Scripture should be interpreted literally. Since this is true, all Scripture concerning the end times should be studied as being literal. If someone took the time to study the prophecies of the end times literally, they would most likely agree with a pre-tribulation futurist; one who believes that some of the prophecies contained in Scripture have been fulfilled, but the prophecies regarding the second coming of Christ, and the end times are yet to be accomplished. A pre-tribulation futurist would also believe that the rapture of the Church will occur before the seven year span of time known as the “Tribulation”, the time appointed when God will judge mankind and the earth. This view would line up with a literal

Has anyone actually come close to finding the lost Ark of the Covenant? To solve that, archaeologists have been looking for two thousand years and have been able to find out a few unique qualities about the Ark. The Ark of the Covenant is a wooden box covered in gold that contained the Ten Commandment tablets (Wickersham). Four strong men had to carry the Ark around due to the rule that it was never allowed to touch the ground (Parfitt 14). At each stop, the Hebrews had to build a tabernacle for the Ark because it was so majestic. Also, only the holy of holies could go inside the tabernacle to be in the presence of the Ark (Wickersham). To answer the two thousand and five hundred-year-old mystery, archaeologists have

God is impending this from happening until he rescues his children , the true Christians, they will be taken up in in the rapture, then the earth will have lost its light,the true Christians, and be devoured and thrust into darkness a pending

The Holy Spirit of God is the active force or power in one’s life, which most certainly includes spiritual formation (Pettit, 2008, p. 46). When Jesus was speaking with his disciples he made it clear – by using the analogy of a vine and branches – that apart from him they could do nothing (John 15:5). Only if one is connected to Christ will they have the ability to bear fruit and the way Jesus empowers those connected to him is through the Holy Spirt that that father will send in his name (John 14:26). The fact is that the triune God dwells in the Christian in and through the Holy Spirit. One sees this when they place multiple passages together to gain a full understanding of this concept. For example, Jesus made it clear that he and the father would come and make their home with the disciple (John 14:23). In 1 Corinthians 6:19 Paul reminds the Corinthians that their bodies are the very temple of God because the Holy Spirit dwells in them which is similar to what Jesus said would happen when he sent the Holy Spirit after his resurrection and ascension (John 14:17, 16:7).

When will the end come? It is human nature for humans to ask questions. Many of these questions are without answers and there is no possible way to come up with one. A common question that plagues the human race is “When will the world end?” For thousands of years, astrologers and psychics have been trying to come up with clues to when it all will end. There is a source, the Bible, which aids humans, specifically Christians, in trying to come up with some answers. Many places in the Bible such as Revelations, Ezekiel, Matthew, Daniel, and I Corinthians all give some clues to how and when the end of the world will come. Two articles that give some insight on this subject are “Visions or Heaven, Dreams of the End” by

There is much speculation as to who the Antichrist. I know him to be an evil alliance, a deceiver, a murder, liar, a man, or sinister individual or any individual who denies the Person of Christ; and in denying the Son you deny the Father. Some are saying his appearance is still in the future. Others say he appeared long ago in the days of ancient Rome. The bible doesn’t give us any specifics as who and where the antichrist will come from. But does indicate that he is alive today and will play a vital role in the final events of Earth’s history.

The various gifts of the Holy Spirit as listed in Scripture are conveyed according to the will of the Holy Spirit to every man for the eventual purpose of the edification and building up the church body.

In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit is the source of life and creation. The Holy Spirit worked in the lives of men that God placed His Spirit upon such as prophets and kings to perform His service. Therefore, the Holy Spirit was not given universally in the Old Testament but selectively and temporarily for service. However, in the New Testament, the Spirit grants life to God’s people and believers are brought to faith, in Jesus, through the sovereign work of the Spirit.

The spirit animal that you identify with is more than a symbol. Shamans believe that spirit animals are guides and protectors during your life 's journey. Finding and relating to your spirit animal provides you with power and insight into your subconscious that can help to guide you on the path that 's right for you. Identifying your spirit animal then understanding how they guide you is essential for finding your path.

3) And as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately saying tell us when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world?

The Holy Spirit plays a very vital role in the lives of each and every believer; He can strengthen us with a strength that we cannot even begin to muster up in ourselves. He can bring us joy that we cannot even begin to find in the things of this world. He can bring peace to our lives more than anything that we can ever find on this earth. “The Holy Spirit which is primarily an energizing process, is also a revealing, refining, consuming, illuminating process, and one by which we are made to glow with love to God, and love to man, and love to souls.”
