Bible Study – For GOD So Loved The World – July 26, 2026

How much does GOD love you? Enough for HIM to send and WHO willingly came to earth, HIS only SON, to live a sinless life upon earth, as a 100% human, subject to death, to be the perfect acceptable sacrifice to GOD for all sin for all who place their faith in HIM and HIS Passion (Birth, life, death, bodily resurrection, ascension into Heaven. JESUS took HIS seat at the right hand of GOD, HIS FATHER, to intercede for all who place their faith in JESUS.)

Keep this in mind as you read/study this lesson. This study is not to alarm you but to inform you of things to come. Only GOD knows when these things will take place. The key is to be informed and be ready as things unfold because only GOD knows when HE will give the nod to JESUS to return to earth and rapture the true church.

Israel, especially Jerusalem, is a key to the future course of world events. So, keep a watchful eye upon Israel and the middle east.

The Good News is that many Bible scholars think Christians will not go through some of these future events. GOD will send JESUS to rapture the Christian believers and take them to Heaven before the last battle between Satan and GOD rids earth of Satan. Let’s explore -------

John 3:16

For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Why did GOD allow HIS ONE and ONLY SON come to earth to live a sinless life upon earth and for HIM to give HIS perfect life to atone for all sin? GOD so loved the world.

GOD created the world in the only place in the universe that would or could sustain both human life, vegetable life, animal life, microscopic life and not be burned up or frozen.

What does science reveal to us?

Is Earth in the Exact Position to Sustain Life?

Earth is not in a single “exact” position in the sense of a perfect, unchanging coordinate, but it is in a remarkably narrow and stable range of conditions that make it uniquely suited to sustain life over billions of years.

1. The Habitable Zone
Earth orbits within the Sun’s habitable zone — the “Goldilocks” region where temperatures allow liquid water to exist on the surface. For our Sun, this zone is about 0.97 to 1.37 astronomical units (AU) from the star. Earth is near the inner edge, close enough to stay warm but far enough to avoid boiling away oceans scienceinsights.org+1. If it were much closer, like Venus, it would be too hot; if farther, like Mars, it would be too cold.

2. Stability from the Sun’s Type and Lifespan
The Sun is a G2V-type yellow dwarf, fusing hydrogen at a moderate rate, giving it a stable output for ~10 billion years — enough time for complex life to evolve scienceinsights.org.

3. Protection from Cosmic Hazards
Earth’s position in the Milky Way’s galactic suburbs reduces exposure to dangerous gamma-ray bursts and stellar flares Our Planet. Jupiter’s gravitational influence also deflects many comets and asteroids, reducing impact risks scienceinsights.org.

4. Unique Planetary Features

• Moon: Stabilizes Earth’s axial tilt, producing predictable seasons and preventing extreme climate swings Center for Science Education.
• Liquid Water: Present in all three phases, (solid, liquid, vapor) enabling biochemical reactions and climate regulation Center for Science Education+1.
• Protective Magnetic Field: Deflects harmful solar and cosmic radiation, preserving the atmosphere Science Sensei.
• Plate Tectonics: Regulate climate and recycle nutrients over geological time Science Sensei.

5. Rare Combination of Factors
While many planets may be in the habitable zone, Earth’s convergence of orbital stability, stellar type, protective shields, and active geology is rare. Removing any one of these factors — such as a magnetic field, tectonic activity, or the right distance — would likely make the planet uninhabitable scienceinsights.org+2.

Conclusion:
Earth is not in a single “exact” spot in space, but it is in a delicately balanced set of conditions — distance from the Sun, stellar stability, protective shields, and internal geological activity — that make it uniquely capable of sustaining life for billions of years. This combination is so rare that scientists often call Earth a “life-supporting anomaly” in the universe.

YES, and guess what? If you are reading this means you are a human inhabitant.

Life upon earth is a stepping-stone to eternity and eternal life.

What do we know as human beings? We will all die physically and then what? Eternity

Where did you and I come from? We were conceived when the human egg was fertilized by the human sperm.

All humans are the result of that union.

The exception being when JESUS was conceived, the Holy Spirit came upon HIS Mother Mary, to show the world the power of the Holy Spirit to energize the human egg and produce a unique and special person, JESUS.

JESUS was both GOD and man, uniquely conceived to accomplish GOD’S Grand Plan of salvation through the miracle of humans who are body, soul, and spirit to be redeemed from eternal death to eternal life through placing his/her faith in JESUS THE CHRIST.

When a person asks JESUS to forgive him or her for their sins and asks JESUS to come into his or her heart, consider his/her human spirit as the egg, THE DIVINE SPERM of GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT unites with the human spirit, consider the egg. When a person asks JESUS to forgive him/her of their sins and asks JESUS to come into his/her heart ---quicker than thought, Spiritual, eternal conception takes place – thus the term “Born again” or “Spirit Born.”  

Human birth is a miracle but has a finite limit --- Spiritual Birth is also a miracle but eternal because THE DIVINE SPERM is the Holy Spirit and that conception is eternal, infinite and the person of faith is “born again” into GOD’S eternal Family. The Sprit born person, through the miracle of Spiritual Birth becomes GOD’S eternal SON or DAUGHTER.

A Person being “born again” is GOD’S grand plan to preserve HIS Children for eternity. When the world is destroyed, GOD, JESUS, THE HOLY SPIRIT and all who have been “Born Again” are safe and eternal.

The Apostle Paul captured the essence of eternal life as recorded in:

1 Corinthians 2:9

But as it is written, What no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has conceived— God has prepared these things for those who love him.

This applies to those serving GOD upon earth and living eternally in Heaven as a citizen of Heaven through the miracle of Spiritual Birth. WOW!!!

The Best is yet to come!

To GOD AND JESUS Be THE GLORY!

Have you asked JESUS to forgive you for all of your sins and asked JESUS to come into your life? If not, I urge you to do so now and experience the miracle of being “Born Again” into GOD’S eternal family.

Our parents welcomed us into the world and nurtured us until we developed enough to sustain ourselves.

All humans have the same beginning naturally, via petri dish, or insemination.

GOD has a plan for you and your life upon earth.

Our world is changing and rapidly moving toward the final battle for the hearts and minds of the people of earth.

Armageddon

 

The word Armageddon is used generically today to refer to any type of catastrophic conflict, especially if it’s seen as likely to result in widespread destruction or the annihilation of human life. In the Bible, Armageddon refers to a climactic future battle between God and the forces of evil, as recorded in the book of Revelation. The word ultimately comes from the Hebrew word Har-Magedone, which means “Mount Megiddo,” the predicted location of the battle.

Revelation 16:1-21:

Christian Standard Bible

The First Bowl

16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven^[a] bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.” ² The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and severely painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped its image.

The Second Bowl

³ The second^[b] poured out his bowl into the sea. It turned to blood like that of a dead person, and all life in the sea died.

The Third Bowl

⁴ The third^[c] poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. ⁵ I heard the angel of the waters say,

You are just,
the Holy One, who is and who was,
because you have passed judgment on these things.
⁶ Because they poured out
the blood of the saints and the prophets,
you have given them blood to drink;
they deserve it!

⁷ I heard the altar say,

Yes, Lord God, the Almighty,
true and just are your judgments.

The Fourth Bowl

⁸ The fourth^[d] poured out his bowl on the sun. It was allowed to scorch people with fire, ⁹ and people were scorched by the intense heat. So, they blasphemed the name of God, who has the power^[e] over these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory.

The Fifth Bowl

¹⁰ The fifth^[f] poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People^[g] gnawed their tongues because of their pain ¹¹ and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they did not repent of their works.

The Sixth Bowl

¹² The sixth^[h] poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the east. ¹³ Then I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming from the dragon’s mouth, from the beast’s mouth, and from the mouth of the false prophet. ¹⁴ For they are demonic spirits performing signs, who travel to the kings of the whole world to assemble them for the battle on the great day of God, the Almighty. ¹⁵ “Look, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who is alert and remains clothed^[i] so that he may not go around naked and people see his shame.” ¹⁶ So they assembled the kings at the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.^[j]

The Seventh Bowl

¹⁷ Then the seventh^[k] poured out his bowl into the air,^[l] and a loud voice came out of the temple^[m] from the throne, saying, “It is done!” ¹⁸ There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder. And a severe earthquake occurred like no other since people have been on the earth, so great was the quake. ¹⁹ The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations^[n] fell. Babylon the Great was remembered in God’s presence; he gave her the cup filled with the wine of his fierce anger. ²⁰ Every island fled, and the mountains disappeared. ²¹ Enormous hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds,^[o] fell from the sky on people, and they blasphemed God for the plague of hail because that plague was extremely severe.

Tribulation in the Bible refers to periods of severe trial, suffering, or divine judgment, often serving to test faith, refine character, and fulfill God’s purposes.

This is not to frighten you because there is Good News – Many theologians believe that all Spirit Born Christians will be raptured from earth and be Heavenly spectators.

It’s vital that all Holy Spirit born Christians keep in their minds that they will be observers, because the last days are not going to be pretty.

Meaning and Definition

The term “tribulation” literally means distress, suffering, or severe trial. Biblically, it encompasses both general hardships believers face in life and a specific future period of intense judgment known as the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21-22; Daniel 12:1) Bible Study Tools+1. The word originates from the Latin tribulum, a threshing tool used to separate grain from husks, symbolizing the refining and testing of faith. Tribulation is depicted as both corrective for the wicked (Romans 2:9) and formative for believers, producing perseverance, character, and hope (Romans 5:3-4; James 1:2-3; 1 Peter 1:6-7) 

Revelation 16:12–16 is the record of what will happen toward the end of the tribulation, when an angel pours out the sixth bowl judgment on the earth. The word Armageddon makes its only appearance in the Bible in this passage:

“The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. Then I saw three impure spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are demonic spirits that perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty. . . . Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.”

In Revelation 19:11–20, a final battle occurs at Christ’s second coming as the conquering Christ defeats the forces of the Antichrist. We take this to be a description of the Battle of Armageddon mentioned in Revelation 19:

“I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. ‘He will rule them with an iron scepter.’ He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

“And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, ‘Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.’
“Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.”

The exact location of Armageddon is unclear because there is no mountain called Meggido. However, since Har can also mean “hill,” the most likely location is the hill country surrounding the plain of Meggido, some sixty miles north of Jerusalem. Throughout history, armies have fought countless battles in that region: Egyptians, Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, and Crusaders fought in Megiddo, as well as the armies of Napoleon. Megiddo was the site of battles during World War I and the Arab-Israeli War of 1948 (Weintraub, P., “Rewriting Tel Megiddo’s Violent History,” Discover, Sep 30, 2015). In the future, the plain of Megiddo and the nearby plain of Esdraelon will also be the focal point for the battle of Armageddon.

The plain of Megiddo, or Armageddon, was famous for two great victories in Israel’s history: 1) Barak’s victory over the Canaanites (Judges 4:15) and 2) Gideon’s victory over the Midianites (Judges 7). Armageddon was also the site of two great tragedies: 1) the death of Saul and his sons (1 Samuel 31:8) and 2) the death of King Josiah (2 Kings 23:29–30; 2 Chronicles 35:22).

According to the futurist interpretation of Revelation, which is our view, the Battle of Armageddon will be a real battle in the future, near the end of the tribulation. Demonic influences will cause the kings of the earth to gather their armies for an all-out assault on Jerusalem. The Antichrist will be leading the charge (Revelation 16:13–16). Jesus Christ will return to earth with the armies of heaven (Matthew25:31; Revelation 19:14); His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4); He will defeat the forces of evil (Revelation 19:15–16); He will cast the Antichrist and the false prophet into the lake of fire (Revelation 19:20); He will bind Satan; and He will set up His kingdom on earth for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:1–6). At Armageddon, the Lord Jesus Christ “treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty” (Revelation 19:15), and all things will be made right.

To GOD BE THE GLORY!!!, JESUS, THE HOLY SPIRIT and all the redeemed wins!!!

THE GOOD NEWS IS GOD IS IN CONTROL and according to some theologians “born again” Christians will be in Heaven.

I like what a former pastor’s thoughts were regarding the end times. He called it, “the pan theory.” All things were going to “pan out in the end.”

In the meantime, we are to stay true to GOD’S Word, watch, wait, tell others the Good News of salvation, through faith in JESUS. Keep the oil (Holy Spirit) topped off, so-to-speak, in our lamps by studying GOD’S Word, prayer, witnessing to others, especially family, as we wait and minister for the bride groom, JESUS, to come.

Blessings!!!
