Being a student of Prophecy and intently studying the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, 1914 is only the beginning of the end. “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. ?All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.” (Matthew 24:7-8)

In 1914 the world as we know it, has entered into its death throes.  God’s Kingdom would slowly begin crushing all kingdoms of the earth. (Daniel 2:44)  Those inhabiting the earth would enter into an ‘allotted amount of time of distress'. “During that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who is standing in behalf of your people. And there will occur a time of distress such as has not occurred since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, everyone who is found written down in the book.” (Daniel 12:1)

What is causing this ‘time of distress’?  “And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled ?but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven.” (Rev 12:7-8)  “Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.” (Rev 12:12)  Here’s an important teaching from Jesus Christ, he stated, “For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be.” (Matthew 24:37)  Did you catch that?  So the presence of the Son of man will be.  Jesus Christ has been ruling from Heaven since 1914 and he compared his presence like the days of Noah!  Few people understand this, but the Days of Noah lasted 120 years. (Genesis 6:3)  Jesus continues, “For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, ?and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.” (Matthew 24:38-39)  Folks, the presence of the Son of man is now 103 years from 1914 and counting.  Yet, the World is taking no note.

The Last Days must reach their full time allotted, which is 120 years.  1914 + 120 = 2034.   Since the Great Tribulation is Spiritual, many will  fall away from the faith. But it’s during this time period that the one’s separated to the right hand of Christ, will come out of the Great Tribulation as Survivors.  In response one of the elders said to me: “These who are dressed in the white robes, who are they and where did they come from?” (Rev 7:13)

So right away I said to him: “My lord, you are the one who knows.” And he said to me: “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” (Rev 7:14)  “Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.” (Matthew 24:42)

Armageddon is an act of undeserved kindness of removing the wicked by means of the second death.  Soon, those outside our interior rooms will be dying the second death in the same manner as Adam and Eve.

Several scriptures that may reveal the identity of the Angel of Wisdom.  “Your servant Jo?ab has done this to change the appearance of things, but my lord has wisdom like that of the angel of the true God and knows all that is happening in the land.” (2 Samuel 14:20)

“He is the Maker of the earth by his power, The One who established the productive land by his wisdom And who stretched out the heavens by his understanding.” (Jeremiah 10:12) and (Jeremiah 51:15)

“Jehovah founded the earth in wisdom. He solidly established the heavens in discernment.” (Proverbs 3:19)

“Jehovah produced me as the beginning of his way, The earliest of his achievements of long ago. ?From ancient times I was installed, From the start, from times earlier than the earth. ?When there were no deep waters, I was brought forth,” (Proverbs 8:22-24)

“I rejoiced over his habitable earth, And I was especially fond of the sons of men.” (Proverbs 8:31)

“For the one finding me will find life, And he receives approval from Jehovah. ?But the one who ignores me harms himself, And those who hate me love death.” (Proverbs 8:35-36)

“Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars:” (Proverbs 9:1)

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the killer of the prophets and stoner of those sent to her—how often I wanted to gather your children together the way a hen gathers her chicks under {her wings}! But you did not want it.” (Matthew 23:37)

“For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,” (Acts 27:23 KJV)

“As for the sacred secret of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars mean the angels of the seven congregations, and the seven lampstands mean the seven congregations.” (Rev 1:20)

“After this I saw another angel descending from heaven with great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory.” (Rev 18:1)

“And my temptation which was in my flesh you despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 4:14)

“Then the angel of the true God who was going ahead of the camp of Israel departed and went to their rear, and the pillar of cloud that was in front of them moved to the rear and stood behind them.” (Exodus 14:19)

“Moreover, his head and his hair were white as white wool, as snow, and his eyes were like a fiery flame,?and his feet were like fine copper when glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters.” (Rev 1:14-15)

“Then Jehovah’s angel appeared to him in a flame of fire in the midst of a thornbush. As he kept looking, he saw that the thornbush was on fire, and yet the thornbush was not consumed.” (Exodus 3:2)

“Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:24)  “Come, eat my bread And share in drinking the wine that I have mixed. ?Leave behind your inexperience and live; Walk forward in the way of understanding.” (Proverbs 9:5-6)

Actually, Hell is not a Biblical term. Hell was inserted into man made translations of the Bible. In order to believe in the Catholic dogma of an eternal burning hell, one must first reject the 'death' of Christ. It was and is a very successful dogma that leads Billions away from the 'salvation' of Christ.  Therefore, the dogma teachings are in contrast with the Resurrection that Jesus taught about.

Rip the Catholic Dogman of Hell out of the translations and see what happens.

"hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works." (Rev 20:13 KJV)

"Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice ?and come out," (John 5:28) 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                 "And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." (Acts 24:15)

Uh oh... likes like Hell loses again...

Ok been away (not fishing!) So what is 2034? 

Thank you,

Bible Speaks 

The year 2034 is not new. Matter of fact, this year was discussed on the public page for all to see early in the year 1914. In the first part of 1914, the Bible Students known as International Bible Students Association discussed the “time of trouble” on the printed page called The Bible Students Monthly. Early in 1914, an issue of The Bible Students Monthly was issued with the large bold heading “END OF WORLD IN 1914? Some have quoted the large headline of this tract as proof that Russell was expecting the “end of the world” in 1914. However, such neglect the subheading under the larger headline, which states: “NOT THE VIEW OF PASTOR RUSSELL NOR OF I.B.S.A.” International Bible Students Association: "Nevertheless, when viewed from God’s standpoint, we are still “shortly after” 1914. Although Russell himself did not think the time of trouble would be this long, he did allow that it could be. It is possible that the time allotted for this period is 120 years (1914+120=2034), but that these days will be “cut short” some time before they are allowed to reach their end. We do not put this forth as a “prophecy”, nor would we feel anything was wrong if 2034 came and went and nothing had happened as far the full binding of Satan and the destruction of his empire is concerned. All things are in God’s hands." 

The prophecy at Daniel points to the time period of 1914 is explained in our literature.  Applying the period Jehovah gave to 'ungodly mankind' was 120 years to turn around. (Genesis 6:3).  But this is a prophecy that is coming to light today, it's not well known, even amongst the brothers and sisters. It's the "Days of Christ".   In Brother Rando’s research of the Bible, he found scripture does interpret other scripture. The answer to how long a day was, according to God’s Will was found in (Psalms 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8). This is vital to gaining understanding in how we are to measure time in God’s view. Spiritually and not fleshy or physical. A day in heavens time is a thousands years to us. It’s by this method we can measure time and where we are in the stream of time of the end. In answer Jesus said to them: “Break down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” (John 2:19) Was Jesus indicating that he was the Temple of God, God’s Kingdom? And that the temple would in fact be destroyed or broken down? According to God’s Word, the following scripture is the basis for Salvation. “For if you publicly declare that ‘word in your own mouth,’ that Jesus is Lord, and exercise faith in your heart that God raised him up from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9) In order for John 2:19 and Romans 10:9 to come in line, did Jesus utter a prophecy about God's Kingdom since he stated, “I will raise it up”? IF the basis for salvation is that Jesus is Lordand that God raised him up. We can conclude that Jesus did not raise himself up, but it was God that raised him, since Jesus was dead and conscious of nothing at all. (Ecc 9:5)  Jesus prophesied that HE would raise God's Kingdom. Jesus was speaking prophetically of raising the temple of God within the third day of a thousand years. Jesus warned Peter not to think the thoughts of man. (Matthew 16:23) Based on 2 Peter 3:8 if we apply that a physical day is a thousand years, then we are able to determine the time frame to when God’s Kingdom would be raised up by Jesus Christ. Jesus was put to death on Nisan 14, 33CE. The two days would actually represent two thousand years and we come up with the year 2033. Jesus stated,“in three days I will raise it up.” So the third day is upon us in 2034. 

LOL.... ya, that's hades and hell... beating a dead horse.  Here's info on the Dead Sea Scrolls and a Picture containing God's Name.

https://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/nwt/appendix-a/tetragrammaton-divine-name/

Amen. Torture after the fact of death is a man-made doctrine.  Hades and Hell are doctrines from Christendom wrongly inserted in the Bible.  Hades, hell, and the grave are interchangeable.  Simply insert the grave where hades and hell was inserted and the truth will come out like a Champion!    Anyways, "death' was the punishment not to give someone who disobeyed a gift of everlasting life just to be tortured.  

Jehovah God also gave this command to the man: “From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction.  But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will certainly die.” (Genesis 2:16-17)

Satan is the one who lied,  At this the serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die." (Genesis 3:4)

"In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Genesis 3:19)

Now on to (Torment).  Jesus doesn't torment anyone to say otherwise is inaccurate and an untruth about Jesus Christ.  The audience Jesus was addressing were the same ones grieving the Holy Spirit. In the Book of Revealing we find, "But as for the cowards and those without faith and those who are disgusting in their filth and murderers and the sexually immoral and those practicing spiritism and idolaters and all the liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This means the second death.” (Rev 21:8)

There's a segment of people getting the Good News about God's Kingdom, yet rejecting it, therefore grieving the Holy Spirit. Once that sin against Holy Spirit is counted, it's unforgivable. "Truly I say to you that all things will be forgiven the sons of men, no matter what sins they commit and what blasphemies they speak.  But whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit has no forgiveness forever but is guilty of everlasting sin.” (Mark 3:28-29)

"but whosoever shall speak injuriously against the Holy Spirit, to eternity has no forgiveness; but lies under the guilt of an everlasting sin;" (Mark 3:29 Darby)

When a person is counted 'wicked' they are not among those who will be resurrected. Those 'wicked' self imposed a torment that makes them to begin the weeping and gnashing of teeth.  They will seek for the truth but the truth will be hidden from them. In speaking with his disciples Jesus explained, "That is why I speak to them by the use of illustrations; for looking, they look in vain, and hearing, they hear in vain, nor do they get the sense of it." (Matthew 13:13)

Such ones are already entering into the second death, they look in vain but will not get the sense of it.  Such ones are tormented forever for they will die in that state of never learning and yet they seek but a person who has been counted 'wicked' cannot escape the darkness that engulfs them.  They in turn, seek others who believe and try to convince them not too......they are dying an everlasting death in the same manner as Adam and Eve....  never to be Resurrected.    However, for those who listen Death itself will be DESTROYED.

Destruction, is an interesting word choice I think. Our English language is really difficult at times. The second death in my opinion would be the "destruction" and that too would fit equally in your association above.

Got it.  Our English language is rather crude at times lacking meaning and intent.  But let's keep in mind that the translators replaced (the grave) with hades and hell. So keep that in mind in order to realize what the author was saying.  

Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. (Rev 20:14 NIV) 

And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (Rev 20:14 KJV)

Then, one must ask, is death, hades, and hell going to be tormented or be destroyed?  Afterall the second death is everlasting destruction never to be brought back.  What is the scripture is actually saying?  "Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death." (Rev 20:14 NLT)

Can you burn death, hades, or hell or it is symbolism having a different meaning?  "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Rev 21:4)

Are you sure about this? Maybe I should not have abbreviated. LXX is the standard abbreviation for the Septuagint Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures. 

No, I was thinking of the Latin Vulgate,  I should have not mentioned  the Latin Vulgate when speaking about the LXX translators ....  they were Jewish, translating Hebrew into Greek.  They had no qualms about placing the Hebrew Tetragrammaton into the Greek scriptures, however, they refused to transliterate the Hebrew Tetragrammaton into other languages.   Here's some proof  from a fragment from the LXX translators that was recently found.  They are called the Dead Sea Scrolls.  If one is given insight, you see The Tetragrammaton in Hebrew, also Greek, and then replaced with LORD then the English Rendition (Jehovah). 

The LXX translators actually had a good handle on transliteration, especially when coming to (Isaiah 6:9)  The evidence is pretty much wiped out though.  The term for Wonderful Counselor once read 'Angel of Great Counsel' and Eternal Father read Father of the New Age.

Did they actually  know that the Messiah that was prophesied about, was the Angel of Wisdom that would build the Temple of God? 

"Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars:" (Proverbs 9:1 KJV)

"As for the sacred secret of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars mean the angels of the seven congregations, and the seven lampstands mean the seven congregations." (Rev 1:20)

Only those with an honest heart can gain understanding, for the wicked know not.  "Then he said: “Go, Daniel, because the words are to be kept secret and sealed up until the time of the end.  Many will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined. And the wicked ones will act wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand; but those having insight will understand." (Daniel 12:9-10)

Did I say that?   I was thinking of the Latin Vulgate and its translators were members of Christendom.  The LXX translators were all Jewish, it was the Latin Vulgate that was riddled with mistakes.

Correct, the second death is an everlasting death, destruction that is everlasting. (Jude 7)  For instance Sodom and Gomorrah underwent a fiery destruction. If you went to Sodom and Gomorrah today are they still burning? No, they have been utterly destroyed, annihilated never to be rebuilt.  

Notice how this demon reacted when he noticed the Son of God. "But on catching sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down to him.  Then he cried out with a loud voice: “What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I put you under oath by God not to torment me.” (Mark 5:6-7)  

The lake of fire, (Valley of Hinnom) is reserved for satan and his demons.  It's symbolism for everlasting cutting off.   Let's get this understanding out there before I address Tartarus

18 hours ago, Eoin Joyce said:

Are you suggesting that the original LXX translators and the Christian Greek Scripture writers originally used the Greek word for grave (taphos) wherever appropriate and that, subsequently, this was spuriously replaced with the Greek word Hades?

The Original Greek Scriptures of the New Testament are missing , hidden or destroyed.  And copies of them from the second to the seventh century seemed to be misplaced, hidden, or destroyed. I can't say with certainty that the LXX translators even knew what they were doing.  However, we have 20/20 onsight by backing into scriptures and able to connect the dots how Christendom traditions seeped in.   For example the Johanna Comma.  It's not found in the scripture until the 11 century.  That's a whole lot of time that went by don't you think?  It was first mentioned in handing writing as a 'note' in the 8th Century,  it became part of the scripture around the 11th century?  What's Up???

Do the  LXX translators have the understanding of Sheol and the pit as the grave?  I really can't answer that, but I would assume the answer is in the negative since many translators falsely claimed Sheol was hell in the second century.  What I can say with certainty, is that the LXX translators had no idea what the Valley of Hinnom was, nor what it represented.   

In this case, a person has to understand the Lie before they can move on to the truth. Sheol and the pit are mankind's common grave.  

Do you think it is . . .

• God?

• humankind?

• someone else?

That's was actually a pretty good response. However, I stand by  what I stated earlier that, "Jesus never spoke about (Hell).'   Both hades and hell were later additions into the scriptures.  It's not a difficult thing to find the word that was replaced by hades and hell.  One simply has to find the scripture.  In researching the teachings of Jesus, there are no scriptures that contain hades or hell in them.

So now, we are forced to look into corrupted scripture to find the truth, what was struck out of the Bible and replaced with pagan dogma.

So let's do just that: When I showed this following scripture to my Catholic Priest, he turned red and lit a cigarette. I asked why does the Bible show that "the Dead are Conscious of Nothing"? (Ecc 9:5)  Yet, you teach the dead are still alive and in Hades and Hell and suffering for all eternity?  I don' t get, if Jesus is the Resurrection then how can hades and hell be eternal? 

"And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done." (Rev 20:13 ESV)

"And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works." (Rev 20:13 KJV)

"The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds." (Rev 20:13 NLT)  Some translations still have some remanence of truth in it. The truth can easily be backed by other scriptures.

"Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out," (John 5:28)  What??? Finally the truth!!

The fact, is the pagan insertions of hades and hell diluted the teaching of Jesus Christ and it gets people to deny the Resurrection. Hades and Hell replaced "the grave" and to believe anything else is from satan.  

Thank you for the references.  However, I must stand firm that (Hell) was a later insertion of the scriptures.  Jesus did speak of death, the grave, and gehenna.  Even though the Great Apostasy that began with the death of the Apostles.  Jesus never spoke about (Hell).  It's a trinitarian doctrine along with the false teaching that the soul never dies. Scripture state otherwise. "the soul that sinneth, it shall die." (Ezekiel 18:4)

Take Care.

Brother Rando

That's extraordinary insight!  The reference to (Genesis 1:1) is actually the earth before the Six Creative Days.  We see the earth already existed. "Now the earth was formless and desolate, and there was darkness upon the surface of the watery deep, and God’s active force was moving about over the surface of the waters." (Genesis 1:2)  So there had to be Creation before (Genesis 1:1).  

The Beginning of Creation is actually the Word/Logos/Wisdom of God. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god.  This one was in the beginning with God.  All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence" (John 1:1-3)

Wisdom in the Book of Proverbs is spoken of in the feminine sense as she, not that the Son is female, but rather a Creation in being brought forth or begotten. A closer look at John 1:1 will bear this out.  "In the beginning was the Word," (John 1:1)  We see "the beginning" is describing when the Word was. But further study into Koine Greek gives us more evidence the Word was Created. The word 'Beginning' is actually a feminine noun is describing the Word.  Take a look at this finding:  

Original Word: ἀρχή, ῆς, ἡ                                                                                                                                                         Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine                                                                                                                                                   Transliteration: arché Phonetic Spelling: (ar-khay')                                                                                                                                               Short Definition: ruler, beginning                                                                                                                                                                   Definition: (a) rule (kingly or magisterial), (b) plur: in a quasi-personal sense, almost: rulers, magistrates, (c) beginning.

746 arxḗ – properly, from the beginning (temporal sense), i.e. "the initial(starting) point"; (figuratively) what comes first and therefore is chief (foremost), i.e. has the priority because ahead of the rest ("preeminent").

I'm in agreement to which what you are saying and continue exploring the scriptures. On a side note, the person who coined the terminology and name the 'trinity' did not believe the trinity in it's form taught today.  In a debate with a Modalist, Tertullian made the point that some say that Genesis 1:1 should be rendered, "In the beginning God made for himself a Son."  

Interesting debate to say the least..... WHY?  Because we can find scripture backing that saying.

"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;" (Colossians 1:15)  
"These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God:" (Rev 3:14)    "In the beginning was the Word," (John 1:1)
 

"Eusebius was an Arian (rather than an "orthodox" Trinitarian) and we do not have the original that he supposedly quotes from."

Eusebius (265 A.D. -- 339 A.D.) as proclaimed Bishop of Caesarea had access to the famed Library of Caesarea and thus references Matthew 28:19 from more ancient manuscripts housed therein than are available to us today.

Book III, Chapter 7, 136 (a-d), p. 157

Whereas He, who conceived nothing human or mortal, see how truly He speaks with the voice of God, saying in these very words to those disciples of His, the poorest of the poor: "Go forth, and make disciples of all the nations." "But how," the disciples might reasonably have answered the Master, "can we do it: How, pray, can we preach to Romans: How can we argue with the Egyptians? We are men bred up to use the Syrian tongue only, what language shall we speak to Greeks: How shall we persuade Persians, Armenians, Chaldaeans, Scythians, Indians, and other barbarous nations to give up their ancestral gods, and worship the Creator of all? What sufficiency of speech have we to trust to in attempting such work as this? And what hope of success can we have if we dare to proclaim laws directly opposed to the laws about their own gods that have been established for ages among all nations? By what power shall we ever survive our daring attempt?"

But while the disciples of Jesus were most likely either saying thus, or thinking thus, the Master solved their difficulties, by the addition of one phrase, saying they should triumph "In MY NAME." And the power of His name being so great, that the apostle says: "God has given him a name which is above every name, that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth," He shewed the virtue of the power in His Name concealed from the crowd when He said to His disciples: "Go, and make disciples of all the nations in my Name." He also most accurately forecasts the future when He says: "for this gospel must first be preached to all the world, for a witness to all nations."

Yes and scripture should interpret scripture. Forgetting all the criticisms that lay outside the scriptures one could use the terminology found in (Matthew 28:19) in its current state. However trying to finding another witness of this scripture comes up empty. No other verse supports a baptism in a generic formula  of a triune person.  

However, they are many scriptures to how the Apostles baptized followers stating with Peter in the Book of Acts. "Peter said to them: “Repent, and let each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the free gift of the holy spirit." (Acts 2:38)

None of the followers in the first century baptized in a generic formula.  It was always in the Name of Jesus. "But when they believed Philip, who was declaring the good news of the Kingdom of God and of the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were getting baptized." (Acts 8:12)

This alone is more than enough evidence, but I must admit that criticisms do carry some weight for others have researched it, and they came to the same conclusion I have. "The Bible Commentary 1919 page 723: Dr. Peake makes it clear that: “The command to baptize into the threefold name is a late doctrinal expansion. Instead of the words baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost we should probably read simply-“into My Name.”"

In the Last Days, things in the past will finally come to light in fulfillment of prophecy.  "And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:14)

"Many will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined. And the wicked ones will act wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand; but those having insight will understand." (Daniel 12:10)

"And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, and he had everlasting good news to declare to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people" (Rev 14:6)

Ten days after Jesus ascension to Heaven after giving his commission what do we find Peter doing? "Peter said to them: “Repent, and let each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the free gift of the holy spirit." (Acts 2:38)

Anyways, it should be on a different subject.  Christians are baptised in the Name of Christ not an three pronged formula.  Many reject that Jesus can resurrect people from 'Hell" which is Satan's Way to get you to deny the power of Christ.

Really? Are you serious? 

Yes. Not only was Isaiah altered to  Esaias.  Also, Elijah which means 'My God is Jehovah' was altered to Elias.  The Catholic Church's main language was Latin or didn't you know that?  The same Catholic monk transliterated Iesous to Jesus, I don't hear you complaining about the name of Jesus.     In Latin, God's Name was spelled Iehovah or (YHWH), has you probably gathered by now, Latin has no 'J' either.       https://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iehovah

The Angel sent to lead the Jews out of Egypt into the wilderness had authority to forgive sins or not. This was the Word of God and he had God's Name within him.  Do you have any idea what Jesus means at all??  Do your own research.  Me giving you the answers does not produce faith. 

“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him” (Exodus 23:20-21 KJV)

Then a voice came out of the cloud, saying: “This is my Son, the one who has been chosen. Listen to him.” (Luke 9:35)   Accepting Jesus as the Christ can add a profound meaning for your Life. 

Jesus when translated means ‘Jehovah is Salvation’. “For I say to you, you will by no means see me from now until you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in Jehovah’s name!’” (Matthew 23:39)  

"I have given them the glory that you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are one." (John 17:22)  Was Jesus lying?

"Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth." (Matthew 28:17) 

"After this I saw another angel descending from heaven with great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory." (Rev 18:1)

Yes, Jesus is the Lamb of God.... not God himself.... Christ died for our sins not God as false religion teaches. "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures;  and that he was buried, yes, that he was raised up on the third day according to the Scriptures;" (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)   

There are quotes in the Greek New Testament from the Old Testament.  For instance, Jesus read from the Book of Isaiah concerning him.  (Isaiah 61:1) The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;( Luk 4:18; 2Co 3:17 )

Now, notice the deception of the KJV and many other translations. "And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised," (Luke 4:17-18)

When the translators made copies of the quote, it was altered in the New Testament to strike out God's Name and any name that might have God's Name in it. And for those with some insight you can see Isaiah's Name was also changed to Esaias.  Isaiah means 'Salvation of Jehovah' and they could not have that now could they?   https://jehovahwitnessqhub.wordpress.com/2017/07/01/does-god-have-a-name/
