Verbs are the words that show tense. So you can use any verb for present tense.run /walk / go /ask /mention /add /give /get etcPresent simple tense verbs are just the verb eg walk or the verb plus -s eg walks.They walk to school.

Present continuous isbe verb (am / is/ are ) + verb(ing)am walking / is looking / are doingI am writing a letter. They are looking for me. She is dancing on the table.
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.The "International Standard Bible Encylopedia" [abbrev. ISBE] defines sin as:_ 1. Sin as Disobedience:A fairly exact definition of sin based on Biblical data would be that sin is the transgression of the law of God (1John 3:4). Ordinarily, sin is defined simply as "the transgression of the law," but the idea of God is so completely the essential conception of the entire Biblical revelation that we can best define sin as disobedience to the law of God. It will be seen that primarily sin is an act, but from the very beginning it has been known that acts have effects, not only in the outward world of things and persons, but also upon him who commits the act.2. Affects the Inner Life:Hence, we find throughout the Scriptures a growing emphasis on the idea of the sinful act as not only a fact in itself, but also as a revelation of an evil disposition on the part of him who commits the act (Gen_6:5).3. Involves All Men:Then also there is the further idea that deeds which so profoundly affect the inner life of an individual in some way have an effect in transmitting evil tendencies to the descendants of a sinful individual (Psa_51:5, Psa_51:6; Eph_2:3). ... Hence, we reach shortly the conception, not only that sin is profoundly inner in its consequences, but that its effects reach outward also to an extent which practically involves [all men]. Around these various items of doctrine differing systems of theology have sprung up.[It then goes on for 14 more sections.]
Pure words as in Psalm 12:6 "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times." Or understanding as in Proverbs 3: 13,14 "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold." Silver is also linked with sacrifice in the Tabernacle. The ISBE [International Standard Bible Encylopedia] says that figuratively:-Figurative:Silver to be as stones in Jerusalem (1Ki 10:27) typified great abundance (compare Job 3:15; Job 22:25; Job 27:16; also Isa 60:17; Zech 9:3). The trying of men's hearts was compared to the refining of silver (Ps 66:10; Isa 48:10). Yahweh's words were as pure as silver refined seven times (Ps 12:6). The gaining of understanding is better than the gaining of silver (Pr 3:14; compare Prov 8:19; Prov 10:20; Prov 16:16; Prov 22:1; Prov 25:11). Silver become dross denoted deterioration (Isa 1:22; Jer 6:30). Breast and arms of silver was interpreted by Daniel to mean the inferior kingdom to follow Nebuchadnezzar's (Dan 2:32; Dan 2:39).
It can not be determined with any degree of certainty where Ophir was either from the Bible or any historical or archaeological data. We know that Ophir exported gold to ancient Israel, so it would be highly unlikely for it to be as far as Philippines when you take into account the distance, geography and the modes of transportation available in those days.AnswerThere is undoubtably gold in the Philippines:- "Local miners were recovering some gold from the beach sands, but the amount of gold did not appear to create any commercial opportunity for the type of dredge mining that we do."[from http://www.goldgold.com/gold-prospectinggold-dredging-in-the-philippine-rice-paddies.html ]"Luzon, the Isle of Gold in the PhilippinesAlthough gold deposits have been found in all parts of the Philippines, Chinese traders in the 3rd century referred to Luzon as the "Isle of Gold". The cities of Manila and Olongapo are located on the island of Luzon. Gold mines in the Philippines yield more than 30 metric tons per year,.... I don't know what the gold value is these days, but that's a whole lot of gold. "[From http://www.untwistedvortex.com/luzon-isle-gold-philippines/ ]However, just because gold is found somewhere does not make it Ophir. For example, just because there has been a lot of gold found in Bendigo (Victoria, Australia) and there is a street named "Ophir St" does not mean it actually is Ophir. What does the Bible say? The Bible talks of it but does not say where it is. The actual location is in dispute"There are many assumptions concerning the location of Ophir........ an island in the Red Sea ....... in India - in the regions between one of the tributaries of the Indus River and China.... Ophir should be located along the coast of the Arabian Peninsula, since the location of Ophir the son of Joktan the son of Eber was between Sheba and Havilah (Gen. 10:28-29), which were also famous in the biblical period for their gold (Gen. 2:11; Isa. 60:6; Ezek. 27:22; Ps. 72:15). The most likely location of Ophir to have been suggested so far is the region of Somalia on the East African coast, possibly extending to the neighboring coast of South Arabia. The products of Ophir are characteristically African and are similar to those of Punt, which suggests that Ophir and Punt were located in the same region. It is certain that Punt was in the area of Somalia, and it is thus likely that Ophir was situated there as well."[From article "Ophir" in "Jewish Virtual Library" @ http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/judaica/ejud_0002_0015_0_15122.html]OPHIR1. Scriptural References:The 11th in order of the sons of Joktan (Gen 10:29 = 1 Ch 1:23)...... Ophir is the name of a land or city somewhere to the South or Southeast of Israel for which Solomon's ships along with Phoenician vessels set out from Ezion-geber at the head of the Gulf of Aqabah, returning with great stores of gold, precious stones and "almug"-wood (1 Ki 9:28; 10:11; 2 Ch 9:10; 1 Ki 22:48; 2 Ch 8:18). We get a fuller list of the wares and also the time taken by the voyage if we assume that the same vessels are referred to in 1 Ki 10:22, "Once every three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks." The other products may not have been native to the land of Ophir, but it is certain that the gold at least was produced there. This gold was proverbial for its purity, as is witnessed by many references in the Old Testament (Ps 45:9; Job 28:16; Isa 13:12; 1 Ch 29:4), and, in Job 22:24, Ophir is used for fine gold itself....2. Geographical Position:At all times the geographical position of Ophir has been a subject of dispute, the claims of three different regions being principally advanced, namely (1) India and the Far East, (2) Africa, (3) Arabia.(1) India and the Far East.All the wares mentioned are more or less appropriate to India, ...Again, according to Wildman, the name denotes a vague extension eastward, perhaps as far as China.(2) Africa.This country is the greatest gold-producing region of the three. Sofala, a seaport near Mozambique on the east coast of Africa, has been advanced as the site of Ophir,....discovery at Zimbabye of great ruins and signs of old Phoenician civilization and worked-out gold mines. According to Bruce (I, 440), a voyage from Sofala to Ezion-geber would have occupied quite three years owing to the monsoons.(3) Arabia.The claim of Southeastern Arabia as the land of Ophir has on the whole more to support it than that of India or of Africa.......the search for Ophir in more distant lands can be made only on the precarious assumption that the Ophir of "Kings" is not the same as the Ophir of "Genenesis". Of the various products mentioned, the only one which from the Old Testament notices can be regarded as clearly native to Ophir is the gold, and according to Pliny and Strabo the region of Southeastern Arabia bordering on the Persian Gulf was a famous gold-producing country. The other wares were not necessarily produced in Ophir, but were probably brought there from more distant lands, and thence conveyed by Solomon's merchantmen to Ezion-geber. If the duration of the voyage (3 years) be used as evidence, it favors this location of Ophir as much as that on the east coast of Africa.It seems therefore the least assailable view that Ophir was a district on the Persian Gulf in Southeastern Arabia and served in old time as an emporium of trade between the East and West. "Article "Ophir" [From ISBE [International Standard Bible Encylopedia] @ http://www.bible-history.com/isbe/O/OPHIR/]So it could be -Red Sea island-India-Far East-Arabian Peninsula-SomaliaThe actual exact location of Ophir is unknown: obviously God didn't want us to know, but it is not the Philippines.
Which Zechariah? Take your pick. The ISBE [International Standard Bible Encylopedia] entry for "Zechariah" lists 30 of them and says that it is:- ... A very common name in the Old Testament.... (1) King of Israel, son of Jeroboam II (the King James Version "Zachariah"). (2) The grandfather of King Hezekiah, through Hezekiah's mother Abi (2Ki 18:2, the King James Version "Zachariah" parallel 2Ch 29:1). (3) A contemporary of Isaiah, taken by Isaiah as a trustworthy witness in the matter of the sign Maher-shalal-hash-baz (Isa 8:1). As his father's name was Jeberechiah, some support seems to be offered to theories of those who would make him the author of certain portions of Zechariah. (4) A Reubenite of the time of Israel's captivity (1Ch 5:7). (5) A Benjamite, living in Gideon (1Ch 9:37; called "Zecher" in 8:31). He was the brother of Kish and hence, the uncle of Saul. (6) A Manassite of Gilead, at the time of David (1Ch 27:21). (7) The third son of Jehoshaphat (2Ch 21:2). He was slain by Jehoram (2Ch 21:4). (8) A "prince" who Jehoshaphat sent to "teach" in the cities of Judah (2Ch 17:7). As this "teaching" was in connection with the establishing of the Law, Zechariah was primarily a judge. (9) A prophet who was influential in the early days of Uzziah (2Ch 26:5). He is characterized as ha-mebh in bire'oth (beyir'ath(?)) ha-elohim, which phrase is usually understood to mean that he had instructed (Revised Version margin) the king in the fear of God. As long as he lived the king profited by his instruction and advice. The following eight are all Levites: (10) A doorkeeper at the time of David, who was made a singer "of the second degree" (1Ch 15:18; the text is confused). He was a player on a "psaltery" (1Ch 15:20) and took part in the thanksgiving when the Ark was brought to Jerusalem (1Ch 16:5). (11) A son of Isshiah (1Ch 24:25). (12) A son of Meshelemiah, a "porter of the door of the tent of meeting" at the time of David (1Chr 9:21; 1Chr 26:2; 1Chr 26:14). In 1Ch 26:14 called "a discreet counselor." (13) A son of Hosah, a Merarite, also at David's time (1Ch 26:11). (14) The father of the prophet, JAHAZIEL (2Ch 20:14). (15) A son of Asaph, who assisted in the purification of the Temple at the time of Hezekiah (2Ch 29:13). (16) A Kohathite, who assisted in the repair of the Temple at the time of Josiah (2Ch 34:12). (17) A son of Jonathan, an Asaphite, one of the musicians at the dedication of the wall at the time of Nehemiah (Ne 12:35). The following are all priests: (18) A trumpeter at the time of David (1Ch 15:24). (19) A son of Jehoiada, at the time of Joash. He rebuked the people publicly for their apostasy, and was stoned by them, Joash consenting to their act (2Ch 24:20-22). As 2 Chronicles is the last book in the Hebrew Old Testament, Zechariah was regarded as the last of the Old Testament martyrs, and hence, is coupled with Abel (the first martyr) in Mt 23:35 parallel Lu 11:51. The words "son of Barachiah" in Matthew are due to confusing this Zechariah with the prophet. (20) One of the "rulers of the house of God" at the time of Josiah (2Ch 35:8). (21) A son of Pashhur, 242 of whose descendants as "chiefs of fathers' houses" dwelt in Jerusalem at the time of Nehemiah (Ne 11:13). (22) A trumpeter at the dedication of the wall at the time of Nehemiah (Ne 12:41). (23) The prophet (Ezra 5:1; Ezra 6:14; Neh 12:16; Zech 1:1; Zech 1:7; Zech 7:1; Zech 7:8; 1 Esdras 6:1; 7:3). The following are all returned exiles or are mentioned only as ancestors of such: (24) A son of Parosh (Ezr 8:3; 1 Esdras 8:30 has "Zacharias" here and elsewhere). (25) A son of Bebai (Ezr 8:11; 1 Esdras 8:37) (26) One of the "chief men" dispatched by Ezra to bring priests from Casiphia (Ezr 8:16; 1 Esdras 8:44). Doubtless the same as (24) or (25), above. (27) One of the persons who stood by Ezra at the reading of the Law (Ne 8:4; 1 Esdras 9:44); almost certainly identical with (26). (28) A son of Elam, who had taken a foreign wife (Ezr 10:26; 1 Esdras 9:27). (29) A son of Amariah, a Judahite, the ancestor of certain persons dwelling in Jerusalem (Ne 11:4). (30) A son of "the Shilonite," the ancestor of certain persons dwelling in Jerusalem (Ne 11:5). Burton Scott Easton
This was at Mt Sinai:- Exodus 31:18"And to Moses, when He had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, He gave two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God."However, the actual location of that Mt Sinai where the Commandments were handed down is in dispute.(i)The traditional location for Mt Sinai is Mt Sinai in the south-central Sinai Peninsula. At about 2,288 m (7,500 ft) high, this is thought to be the peak on which Moses received the Ten Commandments which were then presented to the Hebrews assembled at the foot of the mountain. The traditional location in the Sinai Peninsula didn't "come into being" until almost 2,000 years after the Exodus: "The origin of the present Monastery of Saint Catherine on the NW slope of Jebel Musa is traced back to A.D. 527, when Emperor Justinian established it on the site where Helena, mother of Constantine the Great, had erected a small church two centuries earlier." (The Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible, 1962, p. 376.) "There is no Jewish tradition of the geographical location of Mt. Sinai; it seems that its exact location was obscure already in the time of the monarchy....The Christian hermits and monks, mostly from Egypt, who settled in Southern Sinai from the second century C.E. on, made repeated efforts to identify the locality of the Exodus with actual places to which the believers could make their way as pilgrims. The identification of Mt. Sinai either with Jebel Sirbal near the oasis of Firan...,or with Jebel Musa, can be traced back as far as the fourth century C.E.". (The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. 14, p. 1599.) In 1761-1767, Von Haven, the member of a Danish expedition to the traditional site wrote, as reported in "Arabia Felix: The Danish Expedition of 1971-1767, by Thorkild Hansen: "I have observed earlier that we could not possibly be at Mount Sinai. The monastery [of St. Catherine] was situated in a narrow valley, which was not even large enough for a medium-sized army to be able to camp in, let alone the 600,000 men that Moses had with him, who, together with their wives and children, must have come to over 3,000,000."[From "The Traditional Mt Sinai ?" http://www.wyattmuseum.com/mount-sinai-07.htm](ii)[a] The actual location of Mt Sinai would have to be in Midian. When Moses killed the Egyptian he fled to Midian:-Exo 2:15 KJV Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.[b] Moses' refuge of Midian is on the EAST coast of the Red Sea. In their Commentaries on this verse Exodus 2:15 , 'Adam Clarke' says that 'the land of Midian' means:-" A country generally supposed to have been in Arabia Petraea, on the eastern coast of the Red Sea, ... This place is still called by the Arabs the land of Midian or the land of Jethro. Abul Farajius calls it the land of the Arabs"and 'Jamieson, Faucett, and Brown' say it is:-"situated on the eastern shore of the gulf of the Red Sea and occupied by the posterity of Midian the son of Cush."The "Oxford Bible Atlas' [Oxford University Press, 1984 (ISBN 0191434515)] on "The Exodus' (p.59) places Midian on the eastern shore of that part of the Sea now known as the Gulf of Aquaba; Midian was a strip of land that extended from the bottom tip of the Gulf of Aquaba (ie the bottom of modern Yemen) to the very top of the Gulf of Aquaba at Ezion-Geber.[c] Horeb is in Midian:-Exo 3:1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. (v.2) And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. (v.3) And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.[d] The Commandments were given at Horeb:-Deuteronomy 4:10 "Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children." 4:15 "Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:" 5:2 "The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb." [c] While some Bible scholars consider references to Sinai and Horeb to be different names for the exact same place, others such as "Nave's" say Horeb is the name of that range of mountains and Sinai is the name of the tallest peak:-"Horeb - A range of mountains of which Sinai is chief."[d] Paul said that 'Mt Sinai' was in Arabia:-Gal 4:25 MKJV For Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which now is, and is in slavery with her children.In his Commentary on this verse in 'Notes On The Bible' Albert Barnes says:-" In Arabia - Mount Sinai is situated in Arabia Petraea, or the Rocky."and the 'International Standard Bible Encylopedia' [ISBE] for the article 'Arabia' says:-"The peninsula of Arabia was divided by the ancient geographers into three parts: Arabia Petrea, Arabia Deserta and Arabia Felix. The first of these names, which is found in Ptolemy, means, not Arabia the Rocky, but that part of Arabia in which is situated the city of Petra"[e] As Petra is located in the country which is now known as Jordan, this means that Mt Sinai has to be on the Jordan-side of the Gulf of Aquaba. Tthere is no way the real Mt Sinai and Horeb can be in the Sinai Peninsula: it is the wrong side of the Gulf of Aquaba. Also the Sinai Peninsula was part of Egypt since in Mose's time and he wanted to flee away from the vengeful Pharoah, it only makes sense that he would not stay in the Sinai Peninsula, but would cross the Gulf of Aquaba as this would then be non-Egyptian territory.[f] This makes 'Jebel-el-Lawz' in modern Saudi Arabia the most likely location for the site of the real Mount Sinai.
Moses and the Israelite applied the Second Commandment as it is written and not as it is interpreted today by main stream churches.In the First Commandment God stated that his people should honour and worship Him only Exo 20:3-2). In the Second Commandment God goes in more detail as to what he would not accept as their God (Exo 20:4-6).The Second Commandment meant that Moses and the Israelite (plus the strangers which joined themselves to the Lord Isaiah 56:6) were never to create any image or likeness whatsoever. Not graven (engraved), not carved, not molten (Lev 26:1), not woven (2Ki 23:7), nor any pretty pictures (Num 33:52, Isai 2:16) and most certainly not to bow down to images or likenesses. Nor serve them because they are dead not alive. Unlike God who is very much alive. God told his people at Mount Sinai to not be so dumb as to revere dead images (poor quality counterfeits) instead of Him. This made Moses and the Israelites quite different from the nations around them. The nations around them all worshipped different kinds of images and likenesses instead of a real God (Yahweh) who had saved his people from slavery (Exo 20:2).Moses and the Israelites feared God and and they understood that if they would follow all of God's Commandments including the Second Commandment that their nation would be blessed (Deut 28:2). And if they would not follow God's Commandments there would be curses (Deut 28:15). This was made abundantly clear when they broke God's Second Commandment at Mount Sinai and thousands of them died for having made the golden calf and worshipping it (Exo 32:28).Much of the Old Testament is the history of how the Israelites would or would not follow in particular God's Second Commandment and the consequences of this. Kings were listed as either good or bad kings according to how they dealt with the images and likenesses which had been created by the Israelites or the king's predecessor (f.i. 2Chr 33 and 34`). King's Solomon's kingdom was taken away from him by God due to him and his wives amongst other things not following God's Second Commandment (1Ki 11:11).The Second Commandment states in the King James Bible in Exodus 20:4-6 (and also in Deuteronomy 5:8-10), Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; Exo 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.The Second Commandment meant to Moses and the Israelite that if they didn't obey the Second Commandment, they were sinning (iniquity) and God saw that as them hating Him for which there would be consequences. Not only for them but also for their children and following generations. If they however would follow God's Second Commandment, God promised to shew mercy to his people.As a result of the Second Commandment the early Israelites did not create any images or likenesses of anything in the heaven above or the earth beneath. Even though later on their coins showed images of such things as temples and sheaves of wheat. But not images of people like the other nations.They knew what God meant when he told them not to make an image or likeness because he had gone in quite a bit of detail explaining what He meant as is shown in Deu 4:16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude (likeness) of any figure, the likeness of male or female, Deu 4:17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, Deu 4:18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth..At some stage the Israelites refused a Roman army to pass through their land, stating that the banners with images carried by the foot soldiers were an abomination (sin) to God and weren't allowed in their country.Imagery is called idolatry (ISBE, Easton, Webster, Strong H6459) in the bible and God equates imagery and creating likenesses to adultery and he eventually, after many warnings, divorced Judah and Israel as a result of this (Jer 3:8).The upshot is that God made man in his own image (Gen 1:27) and gave us the ability to create other living human beings. God told Moses and the Israelites that he didn't like his people wasting their time creating dead images of all the beautiful alive people, animals and nature He created. When God wrote with his own finger the Commandments on stone tablets (Exo 31:18), the Second Commandment stated in layman's language, Don't waste your time creating dead likenesses and images of all the life I created (not to mention plagiarism). Don't waste your time admiring these dead images and don't waste your time serving this dead stuff either. You'll be in trouble if you do. If you love and obey me however, I will be kind to you.AmenSome more referencesPsa 115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.Psa 115:5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:Psa 115:6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:Psa 115:7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

Something to eat, found on the ground daily.AnswerThe people of ancient Israel were never satisfied, they were always complaining about something. After their exodus from Egypt they complained they didn't have any bread, so God miraculously provided a type of bread-like grain on the ground that looked like coriander seed which tasted sweet as honey which they had to collect daily. They didn't know what it was, so they called it "manna" from the Hebrew מָןword (man) and described it in Hebrew as "like seed of coriander, white, its taste was...." Exod 16:13-15, 31 (KJV)Exod 16 (v.13) And it came to pass, that...in the morning the dew lay round about the host. Exod 16 (v.14) And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. (v.15) And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another,"It is manna": for they wist not [that is, 'didn't know'] what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat. ....... (v.31) And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.They ate it for the next 40 years.
Its just a story in an old book of mythology. The answer to your question is the same as the answer to 'what happens to Charon after you cross the river Styx.' The answer is Charon is a myth, the same as Adam and Eve and the tree are myths.
