Dear Khalilur,
I am writing here to answer your questions now:
Gen 34: 16-18 Do not worship any other God. God his name The-Jealous-One.
Amen! I do not worship any other God. I only worship the One who created all things.
Colossiians 2:9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
Mathew 4: 10 - Worship the Lord your God, and only him. Serve him
with absolute single-heartedness.
Amen! John 14:1 "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me."
John20: 27-31 Jesus is speaking:
"Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing. And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name."
Jesus did not rebuke Thomas for bowing and worshipping, not for calling Him God. Why not?
Mathew 7: 7 -" Don't bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you
need, you will be given."
I don't know what Bible you're looking in, but is is inaccurate, this verse actually says: "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
But either way, what does this have to do with Jesus being God?
Can you please explain about the following characters given in
Revelation: 1. The Beast coming out of sea (Rev 13:1)
As I understand it, this is an extension of Daniels prophecy in 7:7, about the extension of the Roman empire, which isstill to come, from which the one world ruler will come. The great deceiver whom the world will follow as the Messiah, but who in fact is a deceiver and will many people astray. (I believe this guy is about to show up in the world and will bring world peace.)
2. The Dragon. In the Bible, Jesus refers to Lucifer, Satan as 'The Dragon'. The Dragon is used to refer to Satan.
3. The Lamb: If you're speaking of the Lamb of God who comes to take away the sin of the world (as proclaimed by John the Baptist (John 1: 29), then you're talking about Jesus.
4. Anti-Christ : The Spirit of Anti-Christ is spoken of by John in his letters (not his gospel). He says this about it:
"Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour." - (1Jo 2:18 NKJV)
"Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son." - (1Jo 2:22 NKJV)
"and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world." - (1Jo 4:3 NKJV)
"For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist." - (2Jo 1:7 NKJV)
So, basically, the spirit of anti-Christ is the devil, and he goes about denying that Jesus is the Son of God and that God came in the flesh!
5. A man on a white horse with a bow ( Rev 6: 2) I believe this speaks of the coming world ruler (or the person John refers to in verse 18 of 1John as THE Antichrist. I'm not 100% sure on this one, but it appears that is who this verse refers to by what he does and what comes after him. It appears the Antichrist appears at the beginning of the great tribulation, he comes out 'conquering and to conquer', so basically, he takes over the world. OR, it could be an Angel, just like the other horse riders revealed in this passage.
6. A man on a white horse with name Faithful &Truth
(Rev 19: 11) This is the Word of God. This is Jesus, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. This is the judge of the whole earth. He is the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS ( Rev. 19:16).
This is the day of the great battle of Armageddon, when the people of the world, the followers of Lucifer, come out to make war against Jesus and His followers.

KHALILUR RAHMAN
I want to ask few more questions on Revelation.
1. Which are the areas where this great battle of Armageddon will be fought?
2. Do you think the Jews will fight against Jesus?
3. In Revelation, is there any prediction about rising of Islam & spreading it from East to West?

Dear Khalilur,
Revelation information:
1. Which are the areas where this great battle of Armageddon will be fought? I am uncertain. I have heard that it would be in the Valley of Megiddo, but there is some question to that. It's also not clear when it will occur. For it is not just nations coming against Israel, but it is Satan's forces coming against the Christ of God, so this war really is none of my concern. Mine is to trust and obey Him, His is the glory and honor.
2. Do you think the Jews will fight against Jesus? During the Battle of Armageddon the forces of Satan will come and try to defeat Christ, so whether they beJew or Greek, if they are followers of Satan, yes, they will fight against Jesus. (They already do, spiritually.)
3. In Revelation, is there any prediction about rising of Islam &
spreading it from East to West? I do not know of a prediction about rising of Islam in Revelation, but I have heard a Bible teacher who used to follow the Quar'an who believes that the 'mark of the beast' written of by John in Revelation is not the number 666 as many people say, but instead is actually something written in Arabic, right inside of the original Bible (the codex vaticanus). He said that when he was reading the original manuscripts it jumped out at him. He believes that when John said ' this is the number of his name', John was simply copying what he say and did not understand, which was a phrase written in Arabic which says something like "The Army of Allah".
