– – – – – – – – – – – – – – (world view) — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

1. being and nothingness

According to Scripture, God is not a fiction and indeed there is, and all that we see, and what not to see, really exists, and is not the subject of our imagination. This is indicated by the existence of many languages, the verb "to be" in the present tense [Ich bin (German), Je sui (FR.), I am (English), I (e) (in Ukrainian) ]

I am the alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

Revelation 22.13

We live and move and exist.

Acts 17.28

NOTHINGNESS is the place where is something that does not exist. So cone the other world's applications, which do not actually exist, as there was no horizon (an imaginary line between the sky and ground).

In šeol *, wherever you go, no work, no reflections, nor knowledge, nor wisdom.

Ecclesiastes 9.10

* Note. Sheol (Heb)-nothingness. Related terms: grave, hell, Tartarus, but not hell.

2. space and time, intelligent creatures

The Apostle Paul in a speech on the Areopagus in Athens said:

By blood alone He produced the entire human race to living across the face of the Earth by assigning predefined TIMES and their living, so they searched for God ...

Act 17.26-27

Due to the availability of SPACE and the mutual arrangement of items.

TIME due to events and their sequence.

Without the existence of objects and events they make no sense.

Last words point to a free choice of rational beings with a free mind, who are like him who made their Supreme Beings (Gen. 1.26).

3. the visible and invisible world

They (Christ) created all that is in the heavens and on Earth, visible and invisible.

Col 1.16

VISIBLE WORLD-the world of material

The INVISIBLE world of spiritual

These two worlds are an integral part of life, but not one primary and one secondary-THEY are COMPLETELY equal and interrelated.

There is one body and one spirit, just as you are called in one hope of your calling;

One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and father of all who is over all and through all and in all of us.

Ephesians 4.4-5

* Our title - MAN (and CHRISTIAN)

4. measurement of the material world and knowledge

The MATTER is that perceived Analyzers (sense organs).

It is caused by only the objects and events.

The world we see is three spatial and one temporal dimension (x, y, z, t). We see the eye width, height, depth, and time, the current evenly and in one direction (an argument).

Linear dimensions are also mentioned in the Bible (Ephesians 3.18).

* * *

For what can be known of God *, CLEARLY to them, because God revealed to them.

(Romans 1.19).

* The Bible teaches that knowledge of the existence at all is the knowledge of God as Creator and of his nature (verse 20). What we need to know, He reveals to us in due time.

Matter is the substance (matter) and the property of the substance.

5. the spirit world and its basis

The SPIRITUAL WORLD is a world of senses, emotions, experiences (though not considered adopted parsers).

God is spirit (John 4.24) and is not a matter. It cannot be understood senses and cannot comprehend. It has no beginning and no end and is perfect the supernatural being. It's out of matter (and hence space and time), and above it:

Can studies find God? Can completely comprehend the Almighty? He is above the heaven-what can you do? Deeper into the underworld

(see p. 1)-what can you learn?

Job 11.7-8

To communicate with the creatures. God accepts them intelligible images. One of them, son of man, Jesus Christ (John 1.18).

Having the spirit God has given them some of the creations (Genesis 1.26).

The spiritual world as God, can have an infinite number of dimensions.

6. nature of living beings

Creatures-animals and man are different from other creations by breath of life (Genesis, Ecclesiastes 3.19 2.7).

Spiritual life separate from the human body is NOT POSSIBLE:

His spirit goes forth, he returneth to; in that day his thoughts perish.

Psalm 146.4

But God is the only thing in the universe is an immortal creature-death may provide Their immortal creations (1 Timothy 6.16).

* * *

Humans have free will and their desire to affect their lives

(Galatians 6.7-8).

The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6.23

7. origin of the universe. God is love

God as Creator is a Legislator and established laws of nature for all creations and the moral law-ten commandments-for intelligent beings as the Constitution of the universe (Isaiah, Exodus 20.2 45.12-17).

It is also not important, because the universe is worth It (Col 1.17).

We can therefore assert that the universal disaster is impossible, and be totally calm, because

We come to know the love that God has for us, and believe in it. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

1 John 4.16

We love him because he first loved us.

1 John 4.19

PROPHECIES ON THE CHRIST

The Scriptures ... They show Me (John 5.39).

Waiting for the Messiah, or Christ is one of the central themes of the Bible.
These were all generations of people, from Adam and Eve. When they had their first son, Cain, they thought it was and is the Messiah (“Patriarchs and prophets ").
Enoch prophesied about him. Even he was fully shown in the vision (Ibid., Judah 14-15).
The Redeemer who will resurrect the dead, believed Job  -  Job 19.25-27a .
Moses and all the prophets have said about him. So it was until his arrival.
Jews await him until now. They believe that he is coming, will draw all people to the truth and will build on the Earth realm of goodness and well-being.

So who is he, the Messiah, or Christ?
Different people on this account, there is no consensus. Thousands of them. Some will declare themselves.
But how can you determine this?
The biologists have a method: based on the full set of the many signs (shape, color, size, appearance, parts, etc.) They define some kind of plants, animals or microorganisms.
And how to be with Christ?
It turns out his signs (and quite a few!) are contained in the Bible. On the basis of their we determine unmistakably what Jesus of Nazareth and only he is Christ. Look at them.

In the Old Testament, dozens or even hundreds. For error-free definition of even some of them enough. The New Testament describes how it turns, and it is this version and there is a good news for all people.
So, let's list them.

1) Specifying the first - birth place of Christ.
When Jesus began to teach for the first time, that he is the one who expects Israel, He at first didn't believe the majority of the Jews.
Why?
Because he was from Nazareth, who, in addition, also used bad glory. And the Messiah to be from Bethlehem
( Beit-Lehem  -  Mih 5.2).
And those who did not believe in him (including priests), recognized his Christ when seen, where he was born.

2) Second - time.
Dan 9.25
a) Command to restore Jerusalem.
Adventist critics accuse of partiality and fraud. They believe that this is the Decree of Cyrus (538 BC) and 2300 years should count too from him.
But this is not true. The edict of Cyrus is only permitted on the Queen of the temple (Ezra1.2-4 ). It was stopped on suspicion of sedition and reiterated resolved by Darius in the year 519.
The Decree, which said Daniel, Artaxerxes in 457 BC , it shows on the relevant texts (Ezra 7.12-26).
b) what is “week”?
As it turns out, it's not a seven-day week (the language of the original and much more). It is 7 years.
7 weeks  - recovery time of Jerusalem
62 weeks more - up to the coming of Christ
Total 69x7 = 483 years
The addition will give us the year 27 AD .
- This year is the 15th year of Board of Emperor Tiberias
- Census of Caesar Augustus had about 4 BC Historians know about this. Everything is the same.
Our calendar - Nativity - was introduced in about V century (by counting boards monarchs - counted years in antiquity) and have an error of approximately 3 years. Because 27-th year AD, and Christ began His the service in 30 years.
From this it follows that all those who are still waiting for the Messiah, is deeply misguided.

3) Way of coming into the world.
He is uncanny - immaculate conception - Isaiah 7.14
And the text stating that the Messiah has come true the incarnate God - Isaiah 9.6-7, translated from the original.
Atheism and skepticism of the ruin. They arrogantly saying: “DO NOT HAPPENS!"  The man thinks (as saying scientists) that he knows about the universe "almost everything", and himself knows very little compared with what it is not knows.
"I only know that I know nothing" (Socrates).
About the same statement belongs to the Apostle Paul, 1 Corinthians 8.2-3
Unreasonable to claim that in the world of particles, there's nothing (for example).
Conservation laws of course work, but not as primitive as thinks the majority of scientists.
Also the wrong approach - to explain, from a purely scientific point of view, the Bible miracles (care of water in the Red sea, Manna, and the star of Bethlehem etc. ).

4) Related the events of Christ's life.
One more proof of its truth. His life and Ministry in the Old Testament predicted in detail.
Some of them, for example, are associated with the personality of King Herod, who wanted to kill the newborn Christ, no one claimed his throne.
- The flight of the Holy Family in Egypt and return from there when the risk passed (Os 11.1).
- The massacre of the innocents (Jer 31.15).
This cruelty, like many others, was already mentioned in the Bible (Exodus Chapter 1 and 2).

5) What Moses speaks about Christ?
a) he calls Him a "Prophet" - Deuteronomy 18.15
But it's not just a prophet, others of them. He came to Earth to save dying and atone for their Own death. This is the main theme of Scripture - John 3.16
Jesus revealed to the world not only for Its grace, but a glorified law that not cancelled and is not changed one iota.
Only the equal of God could do that.
Jews are taught: who recognises Jesus by God, that violate the first commandment.
But this is not true. They did it violate, for rejecting those who "brought them from the land of Egypt, from the House of bondage" in a pillar of cloud and fire and led to the promised land.
b) the first prophecy about Christ, Moses and the whole Bible: Genesis 3.14-15
He wins the devil, which would declare war.
It is the promise of victory given by Adam and eve before the expulsion from paradise, together with promise that they and their descendants would return there. THIS IS THE FIRST OF THE PROPHECIES ABOUT THE MESSIAH.

6) The forerunner of Christ.
Someone had to prepare people for his coming.
a) Angel (Mal 3.1).
What is this word?
Did the call of the spirit of God is really angel? NO.
This may be a man of God.
It teaches the New Testament (Revelation Chapter 2 and 3) and Old Testament too, if you look carefully. This is consistent with the text of the Psalm 8.6: "Not a lot You violated it before the angels".
The three-angels message from Revelation 14.6-12 - about the same.
b) Elijah the Prophet (Mal 4.5-6).
Who is this?
The one who comes before the advent of Christ.
The Jews, too, recognize this and waiting for Elijah. In the seder ( Ministry of Passover ) is a glass for Elijah the Prophet.
But it is not the literal Elijah and John the Baptist, the voice of one crying in the desert ".
Why God did not send the Elijah to heaven?
For the same reason does not send his angels rejoice.
God does not want to pressure people and intimidate them. Ordinary God’s men, His servants, not only have the word, but also show by example righteous life.

7) Is 9.2  -  "People who walked in darkness have seen a great light"
This and the Jews and the Gentiles.
For Jews - reminds the ideals of Torah,
For Gentiles - open concept of the true God (at that time only the Jews had It, and all the others served as idols).
God loves both.
But first the Messiah came to Israel. Nevertheless, the pagans got it blessings (Matthew ch.15  -  healing daughter of Hananean woman).

8) Kindness to all - the distinctive feature of the coming of Christ.
Is 42.1-4
What is it?
“Canes will not refracted by "  -  support for those who have hard life,
“Will not extinguish no smoking flax”  -  the excitement of everyone who has the least spark faith, and multiply it.

9) Other details (from the book of Zechariah):
Zach 9.9 - enter Jerusalem on a donkey in order to draw attention to itself as on the King. Rulers go on horseback, donkey - a symbol of modesty.
Zach 11.12 - He would be betrayed for 30 silver coins. And subsequent events:
- the death of Judas;
- apostle instead will become the other (Acts Ch. 1).

10.) Daniel, except the time of Christ, predicted that it should die, and this will happen “in the middle of the week" - 3.5 years.
The Jews thought that He came to reign in Jerusalem. Original originally thought and the Apostles. This is the cause of great frustration (as in the year 1844), when finally it was discovered the truth.

11) Predicted not only the death of Christ, but also the method of execution – crucifixion (for 1000 years before his birth that has not yet been)  Ps 22.17
And verse 19 - one more detail about the clothes: one part of Roman soldiers severed and divided, and the other was without sims (severed) and on It threw a lot who will get all.
Version of the Jews: this is the Rebbe from Lubavich and mean the dropper.
Some still await his resurrection.
If so, how to be with the rest of the signs? Because the match must ALL, not just one.

12) Chapter 53 of Isaiah is the Everest of all the prophecies about Christ, home peak.
Before this part of Judaism, as well as others, were considered messianic, but then rabbis changed the teachings. There is a version that it is about Jewish people. In end this chapter simply forbidden to read.
Go on and see what it says about the Messiah, and not on all Jews:
a) He will be ordinary-looking and simple.
Appearance of Christ was not unique: a man of medium height and physiques (physical craft carpenter), black hair, a goatee and big expressive eyes - splendor (as King Saul) it does not differed.
b) He will be humbled (art. 3). It really was so, and same the Gospel says.
c) in Verse 5, 8 and 11 say that He bore the penalty that is designed others.
The Jewish people have really suffered a lot, but only because ITS rather than someone else's sins.
d) through it God will return, and have mercy on the lost (v.6). And Israel, to Unfortunately, though, and gave people the Bible, but the light of the world and not to become.
e) verse 7: It is important to know that He suffered voluntarily.
(Gethsemane - despite the severity, he decided to do the will of the father: "Take up your cross and follow me")
The CROSS is something that man himself incurs (unlike conventional the inevitable difficulties).
f) HE is INNOCENT but died instead of a guilty sinner (v.9b) and "for many become the instigator” (v.12c).
g) More details:
- executed together with criminals (v.12b)
- buried in the Tomb (v.9a)
h) and the last:
If Christ has not been raised, our faith would be in vain, for there is no hope for eternal life. Isaiah clearly says (in verse 10) after sacrificing himself he will live again.

13) He not only rise, but reigns.
Ps 68.2-4
The Orthodox version of the translation of verse 2: "Yes the God will revive".
Verse 4: "But the righteous Yes will enjoy oneself Yes rejoice before God and triumph in joy".

These last words - encouragement and hope. Waiting for the Savior of the world permeates the whole Bible and world history. 2000 years ago the old testament predictions have come true. And soon His second coming to Earth.
Jesus said, "I will come again and will take you to myself, that you have been where I am".
