1 Prophet, 1 Apostle and 1 other: apply reason and scripture
One third of the Bible is Prophecy, many say it is not important to study, before this last generation began, I might agree, but know it has been revealed to us in truth so we can understand things revealed to us in the future. It is not there to scare us but for us to prepare and warn us when prophecy starts being fulfilled right in front us.
I have always enjoyed reading prophecy so Daniel is the man for my inspired Prophet. He relates to me in many ways. He was fearless. He told it like it was and his visions, I understand them.
The first part of the book of Daniel in the Bible tells some stories from the life of Daniel and his friends. Many times the people of Babylon tried to make them forget the real God and to serve false gods. The people of Babylon even tried to kill Daniel and his friends because they would not serve the false gods. But Daniel and his friends were loyal to the real God. Daniel became a very important man in the government of Babylon.
The second part of the book of Daniel tells about Daniel's dreams. These were strange dreams. Sometimes Daniel was awake when he had his dreams. These were special dreams that God sent to Daniel to tell him what would happen in the future. Some things that Daniel saw in his dreams have now happened. Other things that God told Daniel in his dreams have not happened yet. But God is in control of the future. God will do what he has promised.
He describes the many destructions of Babylon the nation that will occur over 1000�s of years to include Mystery Babylon in Revelation in the last days.
This book ends in Daniel 12 and talks about the last generation we are living and things that will happen before it all ends with the coming of our Lord.
John was the man that was chosen to finish up God�s Inspired Words for us to dwell on. Many Christians have a hard time with Revelation, but if you read it literally as future events that must happen, and relate parts to Daniel�s vision, you will believe it is prophecy that has not been fulfilled but things that must happen from the 7 seals, the 7 trumpets in order, then wrath of Satan which is the Tribulation, then Jesus takes us out of the wrath of God. We all must go through the Tribulation, so if you believe we are not all I can say is Prepare for the worst and Hope for the Best. This Pre�Trib rapture is a False Doctrine started in the 1850�s over a book. Many people since that time has made so much money off on this because people in general likes good news instead of bad news.
Let no man deceive you seek the Truth in the Word!
Sampson was my hero. I use to play the Incredible Hulk when my kids were little.
The Samson Bible Story
In the Bible: Judges 13 - 16
Samson Bible Story
Samson is the only man mentioned in the Bible with extraordinary strength. With his strength came many passions he could not easily keep under control. Do you suppose the reason his eyes were taken out because they caused him to sin so often? Or was it a sign of embarrasment in that culture?

I think I'll change mine from Elijah to Gideon.
Peter (Acts, he really stepped it up, he was willing to be used of God and man, once he submitted himself the holy spirit took over and it was powerful. I get excited reading it)
Gideon because he felt insignificant but overcame (Judges)
Paul because he too was everything we want to be. Driven, focused, faithful, man of prayer, holy spirit led and so much more. God used him mightily as soul winner, leadership, discipler. Apostolic Missionary. (my opinion of course)
I love reading Acts 26 when he shares what happend to him at his conversion.
I just love all of their stories...they struggled like us! They did great and mighty things for God. The key is faith.
yes I also love elijah, Elisha, David, Jeremiah Isaiah, Debra all of them... but these three came to mind.

Actually,I like Jonah,Hosea,Rahab and the woman at the well..
Jonah was stubborn,yet He was used of the YHWH, even against Jonahs will.
Hosea,he was told to marry a harlot and she would not want to be with him.
Yet he buys her back from the slave market and she stays with Hosea.
Rahab,was an immoral woman,yet she had faith to hide the Israeli spies.
The nameless woman at the well..
Most people teach about her being a loose woman..
I will talk about her faith in Meshiach/Messiah.
Yeshua brought out from withing her the faith she had in Messiah.
Over the years that faith had been hidden deep within her heart.
Yet Yeshua never addresses sin issue with her,instead He brings to the top her faith in Messiah.
John 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John 4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
John 4:26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
All of these where broken of the YHWH,(even Jonah),
Yet He used them according to his purpose for their lives..
