Well right off the
bat I am seeing two types of salvation.
There is the traditional, eternal salvation that we normally associate
with God but there is also a here on earth "salvation" as well.
Interesting. The Scripture below is an example of what I
am talking about. Moses tells the people
"don't worry, God is going to save (salvation) you from your enemies, the
Egyptians.
Exodus 14:13(NKJV)
And Moses said to
the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of
the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom
you see today, you shall see again no more forever.
It almost seems that
the references to salvation in the OT are more about salvation here on earth
vs. in Heaven.
Psalms 79:9(NKJV)
Help
us, O God of our salvation, For the glory of Your name;
And deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins,
For Your name’s sake!
Lamentations 3:26(NKJV)
It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the
salvation of the Lord.
Micah 7:7(NKJV)
Therefore
I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God
of my salvation; My God will hear me.
Luke 1:77(NKJV)
To
give knowledge of salvation to His people By the
remission of their sins,
Acts 4:12(NKJV)
Nor is there
salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men
by which we must be saved.”
Revelation 7:9-12(NKJV)
After these things I
looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all
nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before
the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
and crying out with
a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs
to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
All the angels stood
around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on
their faces before the throne and worshiped God,
saying:
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God
forever and ever. Amen.”
Interesting stuff!
