Galatians 5:16-23 teaches that at any moment we are either walking by the Holy Spirit or according to the sin nature. Walking by the Spirit, enjoying fellowship with God, walking in the light are virtually synonymous. During these times, the Holy Spirit is working in us to illuminate our minds to the truth of Scripture and to challenge us to apply what we learn. But when we sin, we begin to live based on the sin nature. Our works do not count for eternity. The only way to recover is to confess (admit, acknowledge) our sin to God the Father and we are instantly forgiven, cleansed, and recover our spiritual walk (1 John 1:9). Please make sure you are walking by the Spirit before you begin your Bible study, so it will be spiritually profitable.

2 - The Role of Babylon in Bible Prophecy

Series: 2009 Chafer Theological Seminary Bible Conference
Duration: 1 hr 2 mins 48 secs
In the coming tribulation period, the antichrist will rule the entire world from his headquarters located in the literal, rebuilt city of Babylon on the Euphrates River found in modern day Iraq. Not only have numerous Christians throughout church history embraced this view, but it has also been incorporated into the best selling Left Behind series. The question is whether such a view can be successfully defended from Scripture. It is the purpose of this article to demonstrate that it can. This article will survey various lines of biblical evidence that call for a futuristic, literal Babylon. These lines of evidence include Gen 10–11, Isa 13–14, Jer 50–51, Zech 5:5-11, and Rev 17–18. After this evidence has been presented, this article will then highlight the inadequacy of other approaches that view the prophecies regarding Babylon as something other than the literal city of Babylon. ...
