In what book does it say , at the end of times the strongest nation on earth will be soddom and gomorrah ??
This is an email we received just like this punctuation and all. We enjoy these emails. There is no book in the Bible that says that. However, we are told nations of people who reject Christ will have the same judgements executed upon them. Here’s verse 11 from Mark chapter 6

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
The whole book of Jude is worth reading in regards to this. In the Old Testament the Israelites are constantly warned that fates of nations will be like unto Sodom and Gomorrah (i.e., Babylon in Isaiah 13:19). And they are likened to the evil people of Sodom (Jeremiah 23:14). You can do a search on Sodom using our Bible Word Search tool. Or read more about the end times prophecies.
Summary: Surprisingly a time period of 40 (days, weeks, years) is significant. The information below is from Nave’s Topical Bible. Each period of 40 units is related to testing, probation or being tried. Also, notice each period ends with a time or item of blessing.

Luke 17:19 ends with : “thy faith has made thee whole”(KJV). Many versions end with “thy faith has made thee well”. So, in your study, what conclusion have you come to ? “Whole” would imply complete restoration of body parts that were eliminated by the leprosy and elimination of the disease, whereas “well” could imply elimination of the disease and new skin where the missing body parts were. I am new to your site, and find it very interesting and well done. Thanks. Sincerely, Jim

‘Healing Peter’s mother-in-law by John Bridges, 19th century.’
It’s interesting that you should write to ask this question now since I have recently been wondering about this same question. What does it mean to be made whole? I’m using these online Bible study tools. I typed in “whole”, checked the “use study tools box” chose the new Testament and the King James Version. Using this tool tells us that the Greek word for whole associated with this verse (Luke 27:19) is sojo. The lexicon gives these definitions: to save, keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger or destruction
one (from injury or peril)
To save a suffering one (from perishing), i.e. one suffering from disease, to make well, heal, restore to health.
To preserve one who is in danger of destruction, to save or rescue.
To save in the technical biblical sense.
Negatively 1b
To deliver from the penalties of the Messianic. judgment 1b
To save from the evils that obstruct the reception of the Messianic deliverance.
Note the relationship to spiritual healing and salvation in a Christian sense. This verse refers to the one leper in ten who returned to thank Christ for his physical healing. Christ then uses the word for salvation and spiritual healing when he tells him he has been made whole by his faith. Notice a different Greek word, hugies, is used in Mark 3:5 when Christ heals the hand of a man with palsy. The word is used specifically to refer to the hand being healed. Definition: sound of a man who is sound in body to make one whole i.e. restore him to health The only way to determine which word is used where is to click on each word and then read the verses associated with it. An interesting study. You’ll enjoy it. Go to http://biblestudytools.com to begin.
She is only mentioned in Luke, in two verses. This is all the information there is on her.

Here is Smith’s Bible Dictionary entry for Joanna:
The name of a woman, occurring twice in (Luke 8:3; 24:10) but evidently denoting the same person, (A.D. 28-30.) In the first passage she is expressly stated to have been “wife of Chuza, steward of Herod,” that is, Antipas, tetrarch of Galilee.
The wife of Herod’s steward made her a person to be noticed; I’m sure. Perhaps she was mentioned the way a church today might point out the “wife of the governor’s secretary.”
The classic scripture story that illustrates how God speaks to us is found in 1 Kings 19:9-12.
1 Kings 19:9-12
9 And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: 12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
God speaks to us in a still, small voice. We must be quiet to hear. Emotional storms make it difficult to hear Him.

Loud music, excited talking may make us feel something, but God’s voice is small and quiet. My personal experience has been that He speaks to me in questions as well, at least to start.The best way to learn to recognize His voice is to study His word; the Bible. More than one person has had the experience of having a verse almost jump off the page at them. That verse held the answer to their questions, concerns or plea for direction. Also writing in a journal after you pray and writing down the thoughts that come to you help many people to discover His word.
We know for sure:
He was called a priest or prince (Exodus 18: 1)

Moses takes his leave of Jethro by Jan Victors, c. 1635, from the incident in Exodus 4:18. Jethro is seated on the left, in red.
He taught Moses how to administer justice to a large group of people (Exodus 18:13-24)
He rejoiced in God’s goodness and offered sacrifices to Him. (Exodus 18:9-12)
He was familiar with the area and was asked to stay with the Israelites for the length of their journey through Canaan (Number 10: 31, 33)
Conflicts about Jethro:
Is his name Reul or is Reul the name of Jethro’s father? (see Numbers 10:29 and Exodus 2:18) Easton’s and Smith’s Bible Dictionary take opposite points of view on this.
Is he a follower of the God of Israel or just going along with the custom of Moses’ people?
Whatever his real name was, whether or not he was a follower of the Israelite faith, he was a true friend and mentor to Moses, an example of excellence in in-lawing.
“I once read that long ago an English Bible was published having the Commandment saying, “Thou shalt commit adultery” instead of saying “Thou shalt not commit adultery”. Do you know in which Bible this was and in what year that Bible was published? I also read that the publishers only learned of the error after a great number of Bibles had already been distributed. After having distributed that many Bibles, how could the publishers have remedied it? You know the old saying about, “once the toothpaste is out of the tube…”

The Bible you are referring to is known as “The Wicked Bible” or “The Sinners Bible.” It was a 1631 reprinting of the Authorized King James Bible first printed in 1611. The Bible was printed by the Kings Printing House under the direction of Head Printer Robert Barker.
Once the mistake was found, the 1000 Bibles in that print run were collected and burned. Eleven survived. One can be seen in The Living Word National Bible Museum in Branson, MO, USA.
Robert Barker and a man named Lucas were fined a total of £300. Lucas just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time as he was acting as executor for the estate of a man who had invested in the printing.
You can see one for sale for$89,500 along with a photocopy of the famous error here. (You’ll need to scroll down to see it.)
Talk about opening a can of worms. The question seemed simple enough.
Dear sir, One of my sisters in Christ has been given task of speaking on the topic of the Biblical history of hats. She asked me to help and I thought of contacting you. She is looking for answers to questions like: When did the church women start wearing hats in service? What was the reasoning behind the decision to where hats in service? Who made these decisions? We have read 1 Cor 11 where it speaks about a woman being covered in service and that her LONG hair suffices as a covering. I also believe women wearing a hat was required in the Mosaic law, but I am unsure. If you have a reference for that I would appreciate it as well. David

‘Salvadoran women where distinctive regional veils. Salvadoran Veils are an important traditional folkloric adornment for women in El Salvador’s cultural attire. It’s custom for women, especially older town women to wear a veil when going to Catholic church, as well for normal daily activities.’
Hi David: There are two basic beliefs or interpretations of this. Here are the two sides with links to sites representing both. The links open in separate windows. The command for a woman to cover her head is (a) symbolic and/or (b) refers to her hair, not an actual hat or veil. A well-presented argument for this is on a page on the Bible Tools Site titled Men and Women, Hats and Hair. The other side: The command for a woman to cover her head is (a) of God, (b) refers to an actual veil or hat and (c) is still in force. A good argument for this viewpoint is on the Biblical Research Site titled Myths About The Headcovering. The question comes up then. Did the Torah or Old Testament have the command that a woman, or man, was to cover his or her head during prayer or while out? No. It is found in the Talmud. It is considered tradition not law. Again a good site explaining the head covering from a Jewish standpoint. And finally here are paintings of early Christian women with head coverings.

Here are the events
1. Light separated from darkness
2. Creation of the earth covered in water
3. The separation of the dry land from the seas
4 – 6. The creation of plants in a particular order – grasses, plants with seeds and fruit-bearing trees
7. The placing of the heavenly bodies in relationship to the earth. This is often explained as the clearing of the atmosphere (from one composed mostly of water vapor and carbon dioxide to one with more oxygen due to plant photosynthesis) enough to see these creations.
8-11 The creation of animal life in a particular order – fish, birds, modern land animals, live stock
12. The creation of man
Think of the problem like this. Take a deck of cards. Keep just one suit -let’s say hearts. Toss out the ace. Hand the remaining twelve cards to a one-year-old child. Ask him/her to hand you the cards one at a time. In order. What are the chances said toddler will start with the two and give them all to you in order right up to the king? It’s a basic probability question (no, come back! forget I said anything about math.) I’ll just tell you the answer. It’s one chance in 479,001,600. (If you want the formula it’s below) In other words, Moses had less than one chance in 479 million of just correctly guessing.
Now compare this to other creation stories or myths. Many of these have remnants of the true creation story in place. Most leave out the hard and fast details found in Genesis. Many don’t even come close to actual events or the order of actual events.
What’s the simplest explanation? Moses just did guess it correctly? The ancients knew a lot more about science and the origins of the earth than their records show? Or Moses got it straight from the creator of the universe during one of his “face to face” talks with God (Exodus 33:11) or from information handed down to him from ancient prophets?
To me the simplest explanation is Moses got it straight from the creator.
Formula:
The chance of getting the first card correct is 1 in 12. If you get that correct, you have eleven cards left. The chance of getting the next card correct is 1 in 11. What are the chances of getting the first and second cards correct? It’s 1 in 12 times 1 in 11 (1/(12*11) or 1 in 132. So the answer for getting all twelve in order is 1 in (12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1) or 1 in 479,001,600.
If you believe there is proof of a world wide flood (see creationscience.com) and also that when the Bible mentions the time of Peleg. When the earth was divided, is referring to the splitting apart of the continents rather than a simple division of lands among people, you now have fourteen events in order. What are the chances of that happening? 1 in 87,178,291,200 or 1 in 87 billion which is more people than have ever lived on the earth.
Arika is not in the Bible but is, in a sense associated with the Hebrew writings that make up the Old Testament. Arika, along with his teacher, Juda I who was known simply as Rabbi began the Talmudic age. He lived in Babylon in the third century. His family claimed kinship with King David tracing their line back to Shimei, the brother of David. From the Jewish world we learn this about the Talmud: The Talmud is a huge collection of doctrines and laws compiled and written before the 8th Century, A.D., by ancient Jewish teachers. The Talmud, which often cites the Old Testament, is the basic book of Jewish law.

There are two editions of the Talmud; one was composed by Babylonian Jews and one by Jews who lived in ancient Jerusalem. Generally a citation from the Talmud refers to the Babylonian version, which is considered authoritative. The Jerusalem Talmud is not generally taught in even the most Orthodox Jewish schools today, though advanced Talmud scholars sometimes study it.
Rabbi Michael Rodkinson, who wrote the New Edition of the Babylonian Talmud, tells us the Talmud is based on the teachings of the Pharisees and is a core teaching of modern rabbinical training. Christ said of the Pharisees “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8:44 And yet Arika was a man respected by both Gentile and Jew in his time. He taught that a man who had no compassion on another was no son of Abraham. And that a father should not love one child above another considering the example set by Jacob and the evil that befell Joseph.
