I learned many years back to not go on anyone else's oppinion. Study research everything "with fear and trembling".

[@augustthefourteenth3485]

It’s refreshing to find a teacher that teaches the truth. Been watching all your videos and I’ve been enlightened. So thankful. Shalom, From Nigeria

[@rendtheheavensallthetimele7474]

I love the scripture saying the wicked will be destroyed by the brightness of his coming. When i started seeing things in the supernatural as far as the evilbeings and fallen ones I had no fear and still i do not fear it. So much evil in the skies its unbelievable and I would tell the skywatcher that dont worry about the things you see cause the Lord will destroy them by the brightness of his coming. That is so comforting and awesome. God bless you Brother Pearl.

[@destinationjesuschrist7043]

I hope to see the Pearl family in heaven. I love all your family upholding moral value, I know you might have a few that need some prayer. God allowed me to some wisdom you have whole heartedly taught to my arsenal. Thank you for reading the word of God as it’s written. The church now is in awe and wants wonders, they lack the word and truth of God. Lord have mercy on the family that still have time to repent.Blessings from the Lord Jesus Christ.!

The key to interpreting the Bible : Holy Spirit. 1 John 2:27 : As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit-just as it has taught you, remain in him. Matthew 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. Psalm 25:12 Who is the man who fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way he should choose. Psalm 94:10 He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke, Even He who teaches man knowledge?

[@jeprodigalson792]

Good thing because of Christ it is in us all. Which makes there to be other keys…. Actually picking up the book and reading and studying to show ourselves approved 😎

[@eternalgood1846]

Meditating upon God’s word day and night gives way to the Holy Spirit revealing truth to you. The letter if used incorrectly brings death, but the Spirit brings life...to Word and deed. Blessings and shalom.

Thank you so much! I am really learning a lot and am thankful for your candid approach to everything. It is so comforting to find someone who unapologetically tells the truth.

[@markdeduke606]

I love the passage Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 10:5 Take every thought captive to the word of God And yes even if your pastor is preaching you should have you your bible open

[@complexunity4533]

Just want to say thanks Michael for your work, you remind me of someone that was very close to me as a child. You teach me things that are important to my soul. As you mentioned I understand these teachings are your opinion, but you are very gifted at supplying instructions of applying spiritual tools to our walk. Blessings to you.

[@julimartin3312]

LOL!!! ...“ It’s a sin to lie, so you should get a real job.” 🤣 Oh, You are just wonderful, always taking those opportunities to teach God’s word. Thank you for sharing with us, great lesson today.

[@brucevaughn4374]

I agree with you 100%. Context is key. A prime example is 2 Thessalonians 2:3 concerning 'falling away' which should be translated as 'departure' as concerning 'the rapture.'

[@nmanso420]

I just wanna say, the very 1st time that God showed himself 2 me (not physically but proved 2 me for certain his existence) was about 15 yrs ago & I knew very little of the Bible, very little compared 2 now anyways & I was still living in utter complete sin. All I did was believe a few yrs earlier & he used my thoughts & the Bible 2 communicate 2 me that he was there & heard me, heard even my thoughts. I will never forget that day, I felt like a million bucks or like I had hit the lottery. Kept thinking omg he is real even tho I believed he was real, I just never thought I wud have that kind of experience. I kinda thought we were here on our own & if those miraculous things happened 2 ppl, it was bcuz they were like Gods chosen special ppl & I was certainly never going 2 b 1 of them. Boy I was so wrong but God already knew that’s what I thought & he uses our own thoughts 2 do work in us. He’s done similar things with me multiple times now & it melts my heart, I can cry at the drop of a dime just thinking about it. He’s soo good🙏🏻❤️

[@themaclakuss2026]

23:00 well worth the wait brother in Christ!!! EYE OPENING!!!! You have given me a way to study the Kjv Bible that lets me unravel God's Holy Word. Praise God. Thank you, thank you. 🙏🙏

[@markreed2576]

That’s the most concise way to understand the context of God’s word. Thank you for sharing this.

[@marceloribeirosimoes8959]

Excellent work! May The Almighty Creator be over your life and all your beloved ones, too...

[@colton7373]

I enjoy this video. Very helpful. Two things that popped in my mind when listening to this: It’s very healthy to ask God for insight + counsel, and the ability to retain what you learn when reading His Word. It’s fine to listen to bible teachers for edification/encouragement, but make sure you are being like the Bereans (Acts 17) by checking everything with the Scriptures to prove whether it’s according to the truth or not.

[@jameswoodruff3005]

Thank you for your teaching I hope you are well and can continue many more years with your ministry. Pleas pray for me and my family. God Bless

[@sandrajarboe4842]

Great teaching! Line upon line; precept upon precept. Word study has helped me much, and I pray for the Holy Spirit to grant unto me more and more as I study to show myself approved unto God.

[@musaaisha105]

Just what I need to understand the Bible, thank you so much for sharing this information and May the LORD bless you in Jesus Name Amen!

[@rfnecio]

Thank you. The principle of right division in 2 Tim 2:15 is really helpful as well in organzing and understanding the Word of Truth.

[@RocketSpam0]

I fell asleep while watching this (no insult, just late) I REALLY gleaned some good from this and plan on re-watching after my morning coffee. Grateful you posted this! GOD BLESS

[@MyNameIsChristBringsASword]

I appreciate this, very good. I am a researcher after watching this and other series and it's made me a much more "interesting"/prophetic person knowing the Word. The churches I grew up in didn't teach the Word the way it deserves nearly made me an atheist.

[@LifeTooBig]

Ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate the Word to you and ask for Spiritual Wisdom and Revelation and Don not rely on yourself but on the anointing in you when you receive Jesus!!!!

[@jeprodigalson792]

Yup don’t rely on self but someone still had to put their hand to the plow not just sit there and consume

[@jasonbyrd703]

You have really opened my mind to a whole new way to study the Bible. I have downloaded the Bible app on my computer and trying to learn the best methods of using it. I work on the road as we call it. Welder & milwrite work in the industrial industry. Because of my schedule its hard to actually attend church. So every chance I get my wife and I will have our self church time and many times it is watching your videos. Thank you so much. One day I'd love to come get some first hand teaching on God and throwing knife. Never know when I might be passing through your area anyways. Much respect for you and love the teaching you offer.

Amen n amen n amen. Thank u for elaborating how to study the bible. Am excited cause that how I’ve been studying the bible. To compare scripture w scripture.

[@carljones8334]

Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. This is the key to biblical understanding. Receive the Word with no preconceived bias, be open and TEACHABLE. Let Scripture interpret Scripture. Be in the Word constantly. Don't take man's word for it, see if this is what God's Word actually says.

[@athmaneamiri6952]

[@michaelking4578]

I recently had someone ask me to just trust them on the topic of the gathering of the saints and the catching of and translation into a glorified body at that time. I was told basically, "I've studied it out, just trust me it is so obvious". I thought that was incredibly unbiblical to say anyone. Being dogmatic about uncertain things is not wise but either way I want to find out for myself that way it is written on my heart. Some people need to be right without considering the detrimental effects of trying to force people that the teacher is all knowing. Only God gets that place in my life.

[@petrusvanwyk9673]

Please do a session on repentance, thank you

[@katyc.1969]

Thank you!

[@kjvitor]

I develop my own method to read the Bible based on my profound understanding own persuasion, once I questioned everything that comes from men that tried to influence to believe in an idea not based on truth, the truth set me free, find they don't have answers that only the bible have. I consider reading the bible more carefully and understand it's principles to apply in my life. Since then I've been saved by the Lord Jesus Christ, Readed all the 4 New Testament gospels and understand the power of that book, and almost see how Jesus did the same to get out of the temptations of pharesies. Jesus was a master persuader, but he used that to preach the truth in his pure form. God is perfect man. The Bible King James is the true word of God

[@6969smurfy]

[@jeremylozier7339]

Thanks for this. I was listening to what you were saying in another video about the meaning of repentance however when I looked up the word in the dictionary the definition didn't support what you were saying and I couldn't reconcile the difference even though I felt that you were correct. It is a challenging thing to study the Word when the very definitions of the words are changing. IE: marriage Again, Thanks for your time here in explaining this to us.

I try to be selective when listening to people explain the bible. In the time I have been reading it I noticed some people misinterpreted (accidentally or not), misinformed, or flat out lie. I understand some parables but not all so I look at explanations from people such as yourself Mr. Pearl to try to get a better understanding. I read my bible and try to understand it… this video is very helpful because I never thought of using bible programs to aid in researching. Thank you.

Second Timothy chapter two,,,,,, study to show yourself approved unto God, that the workman may not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

[@trip577]

In that particular verse (26) It means (splendor) in both the Strong's Greek (2987. lamprotés) and the Strong's Hebrew (3368. yaqar) 26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness/splendor ; Walking in splendor , not glory .

This explains why there are so many protestant religions out there. There's Free Lutherans, ELCA, Missouri Synod, Wisconsin Synod. The Methodists are talking about splitting due to the whole lbgtxyz thing. The Jehovah's Witnesses and Apostolics and probably some others don't believe in the Trinity. There are three Baptist churches in my hometown that don't have anything to do with each other. Then there's the Presbyterians which is what my family was back in the old country till one of them that was a minister ran afoul of the Anglican Church and did a stint in the Tower of London, Episcopalians, Mormons, Hutterites, Amish... the list could go on. Thank God for the Carpenter who covers us all.

The key is to realize that it’s a completely human invention. It’s a series of essays on morality and purpose. It’s the best explanation we could come up with at the time. We have better explanations for almost everything now but ruminations on morality and ethics are still appropriate.

[@robc8838]

Pastor Pearl, would you P L E A S E do a video about how we Christians can effectively share the gospel with the unsaved! We are likely not far from our Lord's return. Those who are left behind will suffer greatly and possibly Eternally! I don't want that for anyone, but I'm just not confident how to share God's good news with others. Please Pastor Pearl, help me. Even a short video showing the key ideas you use when sharing the gospel. I can't think of anything more important. Can you, kind sir? In any case, thank you! So much for making and sharing your blessed videos! May God continue to bless you Greatly!

[@beholdyehushua675]

Also, in Exodus, Moses had to wear a veil (mask) because his face shown so bright after speaking to God, that no one could look upon Moses' face. So he wore a veil after speaking with the Lord. This is how I believe we will be when we are "transformed" into righteousness. Where there will be a great delineation between those of God and not. When the 144k are transformed. Which are before the Jews and during the Great Tribulation. Daniel 12: 2-3.

Would it be even better to conduct a word search based on the Hebrew Strong’s number in Old Testament word studies? Using this method I found the word translated as “brightness” in the KJV appears 35 times in the Old Testament. The NASB translates this same word as rare, precious, costly and splendor. Using this method finds the same 35 verses in all translations and seems even better than simply searching the English word. Thoughts?

[@patriot8554]

The Holy Bible uses various literary techniques. Narrative, parables, metaphors.... Reading it and taking it literally , or the other extreme, through the lens of contemporary secular assumptions in my view should be avoided. So pushing aside literal and liberal ways , using a contextual approach is the most fruitful. Looking at the text in relation to the whole can we extract and understand what is truly being said. AND .... The call from India is a classic

[@eternal9702]

Wow very very impressive. I must say that there has been so many times where i can hold a great conversation reading chat w friends ect with ease. But reading the Bible it is easier then anything i have ever read in my life to get completely lost in context and understanding. And if it does not have passion behind the words they fade away and are not remembered. It is frustrating to be such a horrible reader of what is the most important. It make me angry to feel so stupid
