THE SIX MONKEYS THAT POPULATED THE WORLD WERE SAID TO BE INCREDIBLY INTELLIGENT, HAVING KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO USE IRON AND CUT STONE USING ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY THAT HAS SINCE BEEN LOST. Not Everyone Wants To Acknowledge That The Six Monkeys Were The Three Branches Of The Human Race That Formed The White, The Black And The Yellow People That Populate The Globe, Because They Were Not Really Monkeys, Even If One Or Two Of Them Got Up To Monkey Business. For some reason, one branch decided to inhabit the coastal regions and built some very large cities that are now under water.

What happened to the line of Japheth, one of Noah's sons?

Happy Riches answers question by Anonymous

Even though Noah’s Ark has been found and documented, the gullible still accept the propaganda promoted by those who hate the truth, preferring to believe that there is meaning in being born to die, and intelligence requires people to accept assumptions and myths about what happened millions of years ago, even though there is no scientific proof.

The Bible states:

• These are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; sons were born to them after the flood. The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. The sons of Gomer: Ash′kenaz, Riphath, and Togar′mah. The sons of Javan: Eli′shah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Do′danim. From these the coastland peoples spread. These are the sons of Japheth in their lands, each with his own language, by their families, in their nations. (Genesis 10:1-4)

The key to understanding what may have happened to some of the descendants of Japheth lies in the fact that the coastland peoples spread from them. In other words, they migrated by sea to other parts of the globe or they followed the coast around connected continents, of which there is evidence that the present-day Russia was connected to the Americas and Australia was accessible through the Indonesian islands.

Antarctica is the only continent that appears to have been inaccessible after the flood, but this may not necessarily have been so. For during the days of Peleg, the Bible states that the Earth was divided.

• To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother’s name was Joktan. (Genesis 10:25)

Up until the days of Peleg, it is possible for all the continents to have been connected until all the water that was to rise from under the earth covered the low lying areas, which could have also resulted from sinking. Even New Zealand is thought to have been part of a larger continent designated Zealandia: Earth’s Hidden Continentwhich is thought to have sunk below the waves.

From a biblical perspective, which has more evidence that supports its history than the theories of men who purposely reject the truth, the descendants of Japheth could have not only headed North but all around the coastlands and populated the Americas, as well as the coasts of Asia—possibly being responsible for the mysterious city found off the Japanese coast. Japan's Ancient Underwater "Pyramid" certainly Mystifies Scholars.

There are many finds, today, from the ancient world that mystify the ignorant because they refuse to accept the truth of what is written in the Scriptures. Not that everything is explained in detail within the Bible, just that what is necessary for us to know is found within its pages. And those who carefully study its contents actually find where Noah’s Ark rested, in the mountains of Ararat and not on Mount Ararat.

• and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest upon the mountains of Ararat. (Genesis 8:4)

When considering Japheth and the direction in which his descendants were stated to have traveled, many of the archaeological finds that are being revealed could very well be explained as having originated from people traveling from the Ararat mountains to the North and along the coast.

THE NEW TESTAMENT STATES THAT THE OLD TESTAMENT IS THE WORD OF GOD, YET MANY PEOPLE SAY THAT IT NO LONGER APPLIES TODAY, EVEN THOUGH EVERY WORD IS CLAIMED TO BE AUTHORITATIVE. Consequently, A Woman Asks How Can The Book Of Leviticus, The Third Of The Books Attributed To Moses, Has Relevance To The Claim Every Word Inspired By God Is Authoritative. No matter what a person accepts to be true, the rationale has to be justified by some form of logic; on the other hand, truth is self-explanatory.

How does 2 Timothy 3:16 apply to the book of Leviticus?

Happy Riches answers request by Diane Shatto

Many quote the following to refer to the authority of the Bible and assert that it is the only guide by which people should live their lives: All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16–17). Unfortunately, they overlook the preceding two verses:

• But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 3:14-15)

Unless a person is instructed how to be saved through faith in the Son of God, Creator of the Universe, Lord Jesus Christ, there is no point in creating any doctrine based upon 2 Timothy 3:16. Whatever is done as a result becomes naught but filthy rags.

The book of Leviticus points to some very meaningful and powerful principles that are found in the study of economics. If one understands the concept of economic freedom in the Kingdom of God, one is beginning to grasp the significance of the concepts found within the book of Leviticus.

The book of Leviticus also points to prophetic events that have been played out already, and are about to be further played out in the coming two decades.

The book of Leviticus points to, most importantly, how the Son of God, Lord Jesus Christ, paid the ransom price and redeems the progeny of Adam and Eve.

The book of Leviticus explains the significance of living a holy life that is free from the frustrations of fractured relationships within a community of people, who otherwise would be seeking vendettas and avenging wrongs, real or otherwise.

The book of Leviticus also instructs the importance of healthy living; the value of sanitation and sewage laws; and how to live a disease free life.

The fact that the Scriptures are inspired by God is one matter when it comes to the prophets, but another when it comes to Moses; for he wrote down what he was shown by God. The Ten Commandments of Exodus chapter twenty, were written by God Himself—the only words recorded to have been written by Him.

One could say that the literal translation of 2 Timothy 3:16–17 best fits the book of Leviticus.

• Every Writing God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that in righteousness, that the man of God may be fitted—for every good work having been completed. (2 Timothy 3:16-17 - Young's Literal Translation)

The book of Leviticus was not the work of a man, as the scoffers with Ignorant Quotients profess they can prove—even if the crickets can be heard in the deafening silence.

The book of Leviticus provides penetrating insights into salvific needs, psychological needs, sociological needs, health and dietary needs, and economic needs, for any who are prepared to take heed to what is instructed in the First Psalm.

WHO WOULD HAVE THE BEST SONG EVER AND WHAT WOULD THAT SONG BE? Singing A Song Is Said To Be Natural For A Happy Heart, Whereas Individuals Who Are Depressed and Unhappy Are Downcast And Unless They Are Singing The Blues, They Have Nothing To Sing About At All. One thing is for sure, not everybody has a song to sing let alone a new song every day.

What does New Song mean in the Bible?

Happy Riches answers request by Jumark Tordesillas Pelismino

Actually, in the Bible, a new song is not just something that suddenly pops into one’s mind, like songs are sometimes wont to do. Although, this is the impression we may get from Psalm 144:9.

• I will sing a new song to thee, O God; upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to thee. (Psalm 144:9)

Music can have sublime qualities. To quote from Four instances of the sublime in music: Possibly more than any other form of art, it is music that lends itself most often and most effectively to feelings of the sublime. Some even ask why should the Devil have all the good music. However, there is music that is more sublime than what we mere mortals, at the present time, can imagine.

Sublime indeed is the song that is sung by those in Heaven, and by those who receive the Kingdom of Heaven within their very being, as a taste of that which is to come.

• And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints; and they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy art thou to take the scroll and to open its seals, for thou wast slain and by thy blood didst ransom men for God from every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and hast made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on earth.” (Revelation 5:8-10)
• O sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory. (Psalm 98:1)
• He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.hearts of men, (Psalm 40:3)
• And they sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth. (Revelation 14:3)
• Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful! (Psalm 149:1)

Those who have received the joy of salvation have a new song in their heart, even if they cannot sing in tune. Unfortunately, even those declared to possess angelic voices will not be able to sing if they reject the Heavenly gift.

The Salvation Of The Lord Comes With The Gift Of Joy For All Who Receive

RAPTURE IS A STATE OF ECSTASY BUT ALSO WHAT MANY CHRISTIANS LOOK FORWARD TO AT THE SECOND COMING OF LORD JESUS CHRIST. Not Every One Is Excited About Being Raptured Because They Have No Idea What It Means To Have Their Body Transformed Into An Immortal Body. Those who are dead are said to be raised from the grave, but unlike the first resurrection, the second resurrection is the raising of people for eternal judgment.

"When the Lord comes, He will directly rapture/raise us into the heavenly kingdom." Is there any difference between "rapture" and "raise"?

Happy Riches · answer requested by Wallen James

The term “rapture” is not really a biblical term but the word captures the meaning of what is expressed in the book of First Thessalonians and First Corinthians.

• For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first; then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17)
• Lo! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. (1 Corinthians 15:51-52)

We who are alive shall be caught up together in the clouds to meet the Lord; this is called “the rapture”.

The Bible in Basic English (BBE) uses the word “rapture” to express a state of ecstatic joy, which removes one from being consciously aware of one’s immediate surrounds into a surreal realm of sublime happiness that is rather difficult to describe. In particular, Psalm 51:8 gives the impression that methoxyflurane is being used—which is rather difficult to describe, unless experienced to instantly alleviate excruciating pain, such as just having bones broken in both legs. The other verses do not express quite the same thought but encapsulate the general idea of being relieved of present concerns.

• The Lord is my strength and my breastplate, my heart had faith in him and I am helped; for this cause my heart is full of rapture, and I will give him praise in my song. (Psalm 28:7 )
• With joy and rapture will they come; they will go into the king's house. (Psalm 45:15)
• Make me full of joy and rapture; so that the bones which have been broken may be glad. (Psalm 51:8)
• As a loving hind and a gentle doe, let her breasts ever give you rapture; let your passion at all times be moved by her love. (Proverbs 5:19)

Because of the legitimacy of the term “rapture” within a theological context, one dictionary also defines rapture as: An event in the eschatology of certain Christian groups in which believers in Christ will be taken up to heaven either prior to or at the Second Coming.[1]

The idea of being transported into another realm is what rapture means. The idea of being raised out of the doom and gloom of this world and being bodily transformed from a biologically mortal being to possess immortality, as a physical entity, is resident in the concept of rapture. Hence, we could say that being raised (i.e. caught up) to meet the Lord in the air is tantamount to being raptured to meet Lord Jesus Christ at His return.

Only Those Who Are Walking In The Spirit Of God Will Be Raptured, Though

WHAT IS SIN AND WHY DOES IT NEED TO BE FORGIVEN? One Could Ask What Is Forgiveness And Why Does It Exist And This Would Lead To The Same Answer. Forgiving people is not always easy to do especially if you are deeply wounded and you are still suffering from the pain; although it is in this state that many turn to God and learn that He has forgiven their sins.

On what criteria and basis does God forgive our sins?

Happy Riches answers request by Pat Hatch

Two sides of the coin, having to do with the forgiveness of sins, needs to be understood. One has to do with the violation of faith between Man and God, and the other has to do with ignorance—although, ignorance resides at the basis of the first sin and probably is what the coin of sin is made from, as far as we, being mere mortals, are concerned.

The first toss comes us heads and informs us that when Jesus died, He died for the sin of Adam and his progeny.

The sin of Adam is really the sin of Adam and Eve, because when God created man, He made them in His image: male and female He made them. The image of God is man.

• Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:26-27)

Man is Adam and Eve, not Adam alone, or even Adam and Steve. Both Adam and Eve together contributed to the violation of faith that handed over the right to subdue the Earth and its inhabitants to the Serpent. We learn who that Serpent happens to be in the book of Revelation,

• And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. (Revelation 12:8-10)

What many people refer to as the reptilians who control the world today, attempted to take control of the world by causing Adam and Eve to forsake their rightful authority and position of power. The ancient serpent was a reptile after all.

• And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” (Genesis 1:28)

This violation of faith between man and God was only part of the legal issue that had been violated at this juncture in time. Nevertheless, God’s righteousness had to be demonstrated to be exactly that —flawless—without any deviation. For this issue to be rectified, where Man (Adam and Eve)—for it is only when a man and a woman come together in sexual union is Man actually complete, this is why two becoming one is a heralded as major mystery in the Bible.

• “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is a profound one, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church; however, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. (Ephesians 5:31-33)

The sin that occurred in the Garden of Eden had to be dealt with before any other sins could be addressed. This was done when the Righteous One was crucified on a cross in place of a murderer, so that He could reclaim what was lost. This was the ransom of the Righteous One for the murdered ones, who consist of Adam and Eve, including their progeny, who had been given authority to reign in life upon the Earth.

• For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45)
• Then as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to acquittal and life for all men. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man’s obediencemany will be made righteous. (Romans 5:18-19)

What is important to note is that when Jesus gave His life for many, this means the many descendants of Adam and Eve. Nobody had asked to be born into sin and this needed to be addressed. Therefore Jesus’ act of righteousness—His death on the cross—leads to acquittal of condemnation for sin and life for all men—not just some, or a certain select group. Whether all men take up the offer of eternal life and freedom from sin is another matter.

The second matter that needs to be understood is our sins are forgiven because of ignorance.

• And now, brethren, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled. Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.
• The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all men everywhere to repent, (Acts 17:30)
• As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, (1 Peter 1:14)

Willful sin that has no mitigating circumstances, due to any ignorance on the part of the perpetrator, does not receive that same grace.

• For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, (Hebrews 10:26)
• How much worse punishment do you think will be deserved by the man who has spurned the Son of God, and profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and outraged the Spirit of grace? (Hebrews 10:29)
• For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt. (Hebrews 6:4-6)

God forgives us of all sin. God forgives everybody of sin. But we have to repent before we can begin to taste the forgiveness of our sin.

Having tasted the forgiveness of sin, it is not until such time that we have been totally enlightened, and have meet the qualifications enumerated in the above Scripture, that we are capable of being forsaken by God—but more because we have forsaken our salvation rather than our Heavenly Father forsaking us.

Ignorance will provisionally shield us to some extent and permit us not to be judged harshly as Christians for sins committed.

When we willfully sin, as long as there are mitigating circumstances—such as not having gotten the victory over a particular sin, because of weak faith—then the grace of God covers us as Lord Jesus Christ goes into our corner to bat for us.

• My little children, I am writing this to you so that you may not sin; but if any one does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

The criteria by which God forgives sin is actually His own righteousness. This forgiveness, God has accounted for in Lord Jesus Christ, through whom He has chosen to reconcile (2 Corinthians 5:19) every person to Himself—providing each one is willing to repent of sin.

For how could God unjustly create humans, place them in an evil world, then cast them into eternal punishment, because He refuses to forgive sin done in ignorance. Nobody asked to be born and we are all ignorant until we have been fully enlightened as to what the truth may be.

However, if we willfully reject Lord Jesus Christ, we are lost because their no longer is any means for salvation. For while our ignorance is overlooked, those who hate the light do flee from its presence.

Ignorance Does Not Shield Us From Suffering, Therefore Learn The Truth
