(Esther 4:15-17)
15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, 16
“Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast for me; do
not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens also
will fast in the same way. ...

How do we reconcile Satan's authority over death with Christ's authority?
First, I would suggest that the sequence of who has the "power of death" is irrelevant: only God has the power of life and death.

The question is predicated on the erroneous assumption that Revelation's chapters are Chronological. I know of no school of prophecy that suggests this. It appears, taking the book of Daniel and his parallel prophecies as a precedent, that many of the sections of the book of revelation are parallel; that cover the same things but from different ...

When did the dragon get this authority to be able to delegate authority?
Apparently, it was around the time of Jesus as declared by the devil in

I read an account from a Rabbi that the arrangement of the Tribes around the Tabernacle Tent was according to Jewish Tradition related to Jacob who had a vision of the Angelic Armies of God in the Book of Genesis, Chapter 32:
[1] Jacob also went on the journey he had begun: and the angels of God met him. [2] And when he saw them, he said: These are the ...

Tony,
That was a very good example you showed in Genesis where Eve added to the words.… Eve thought she was pretty smart.
You could just tell she was leaning on her own wisdom because she was looking at the fruit from her senses. After all she was born soulish and easily tempted.
She added her own human wisdom to the word of God…
In turn when she acted on ...

1 Corinthians 4:
6Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other. 7For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have ...

The quoted portion of a verse should not be divorced from its surroundings which says:
Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your

The context of this part of Paul's discussion begins in 1 Cor 1:12, 13 -
