Hi KJ,
All stress gives all men the opportunity to find the kingdom.February 22, 2008 at 1:52 am#82465kejonnParticipantHuh? You're getting too cryptic. Did you even understand what you said?
February 22, 2008 at 1:56 am#82466NickHassanParticipantHi KJ,
Got a problem that is too big to handle?
God is close by and wants to use the situation.Acts 17
24God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;25Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
30And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

Ps 107
1O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
15Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
16For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
19Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
20He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
21Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
23They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
24These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
26They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.
28Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
32Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
34A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
37And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
42The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

Basically, bible God is saying he will purposely influence Pharaoh to be pig-headed so he can then kill all the firstborn! Gotta love the “enduring mercy” of bible God!

“But he [Jesus] said to them: “Also to other cities I MUST DECLARE THE GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, because FOR THIS I WAS SENT FORTH.””Jesus knew rightly that this kingdom message would be a divisive one. A mother may accept the good news, and a mother in law may not, etc. This is the reality of the situation.
And since Jesus foretold the preaching of this kingdom in all the nations, you would expect this on a large scale. (mat 24:14)

Good excuse but it holds water like a colander. Why not focus on what the bible records Jesus as doing then and not what he might do if he ever returns. All of the NT speaks of Jesus returning fairly soon; since 1900 years have past, it may be time to lick the calf and look beyond.February 22, 2008 at 2:38 am#82478kejonnParticipantBut wait!

Hi Mrs:Soon, yes perhaps very soon because Jesus has given us scriptures to know this, but no man knows the day or the hour.
The ultimate sign prior to his coming is the Abomination of Desolation.
Quote 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with F46 a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. God Bless

THE DAY OF THE LORDThere has been more than one “day of the LORD” in the past. The “day” is not a single day either, it is the time or period in which God will finally do, what he had said or warned about he would do. And usually that meant trouble. For instance; God had the prophet Joel warn the northern kingdom Israel;
Joel 2:1 “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand.”
v. 2 “A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains; a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.”
v. 3 “A fire devoured before them; and behind them a flame burneth; the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.”
An invasion of another nation would cause such a confusion and chaos; people would run around as if it was dark. A fire destroys and so would this army, they would leave nothing behind them but wasteland.
Joel 1:15 “Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.”
v. 6 “For a nation is come up upon my land (Israel), strong and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the cheek teeth of a great lion.”
Showing their destructive power. This great nation was the Assyrians, who in 722 B.C. invaded and conquered the northern kingdom of Israel. The people never returned and were known from then on as the lost ten tribes of Israel. A hundred years later, God had Jeremiah warn the southern kingdom Judah for 23 years;
Jer. 25:3 “From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.”
v. 8 “Therefore thus saith the LORD of host; because ye have not heard my words,”
v. 9 “Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrez’zar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolation.”
Zephaniah told the people of Judah, that the invasion of the Babylonians would be their day of God’s wrath;
Zeph. 1:14 “The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD; the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.”
v. 15 “That day (or time), is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness.”This day came to pass in the year 606 B.C., when the Babylonians invaded the kingdom of Judah. Let us not misunderstand this; God will not excuse the evil of a nation just because he uses them to punish another. God’s anger is not only against his people, it is against all evil nations.
Is. 13:11 “And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.”
v. 17 “Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, (Babylon) which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.”
v. 19 “And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chal’dees excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomor’rah.”
This is to show us that no nation will go unpunished for their wickedness. Another “day of the Lord”, or, “the Lord’s day”, we read about in the book of Revelation.
Rev. 1:10 “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet.”
The apostle Paul calls it, the day of Christ;
2 Thes. 2:2 “That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.”
“The day of Christ or the Lord’s day”, is referring to the millennium, the thousand years of Christ’s reign. Many people associate Christ’s return with Christ taken vengeance on the unbelievers, and destroying them all, nothing could be further from the truth. It is just the opposite. Christ’s reign will be the judging, the teaching of the world; the beginning of a new era. Judging is not sentencing or condemning, we read in,
1 Peter 4:17 “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God…”
The house of God, or the temple of God, or the bride of Christ; they are the saints. They were the first to be judged, to be taught. They will assist Christ in teaching the rest of the world during his thousand-year reign. Their faith was severely tested; to prove they are worthy to reign with Christ. That is why their reward is so much greater; their reward is a spirit nature. When Christ begins to reign he will judge, teach the whole world, but the world will not have to fear him. He will not force any one, nor will he torture any one, he wants you to love him, and he wants you to learn why you should love him. We know that he will rule with a rod of iron, but that rod is only used for correction, not for beating.
John 5:22 “For the Father judgeth (teaches) no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son.”
There is a very definite reason why the Father does not teach any one. A reason even Jesus had to experience when he hung on the cross, and made him cry out.
Mark 15:34 “And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Elo’i, Elo’i, la’ma sabach’thani? Which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
Jesus felt the Father was not with him the moment he took on all of our sins, but he knew the reason.
Is. 59:2 “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hit his face from you, that he will not hear.”
God is so holy; he cannot look at sin, and even had to turn away from his own son. God cannot look at us, because we are all sinners, that is why he committed all
judgment, teaching, to the son. The millennium is the period when all sin will be removed by gradually teaching all mankind what sin is.
Ps. 98:9 “Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge (teach) the earth (people): with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity (fairness, impartiality).”
It will be the time of refreshing, and restoring.
Acts 3:19 “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come, from the presence of the Lord.”
v. 21 “Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.”
By the end of the millennium, Jesus Christ will have this earth restored to paradise, that is the good news, the bad news is, we’re not there yet. In fact, there is much trouble ahead, and most of us that are living today will see it unfold. Jesus Christ
predicted three tribulation periods for God’s people, the Israelites or Jews, in what is known as the Olivet prophesy.
The first; as it is recorded in,
Luke 21:20 “And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.”
The destruction of Jerusalem and the temple occurred in A.D. 70, by the Romans; it not only brought an end to animal sacrifices, but it was also the end of the Jewish nation, also called, the house of Judah. Jesu
s had just spoken of their destruction in,
Mat. 23:38 “Behold, your house (nation) is left unto you desolate.”
Those that survived the slaughter were carried into all the world, just as Ezekiel prophesied they would while they were still in their Babylonian captivity.
Eze. 22:15 “And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.”
The second; tribulation period was during Hitler’s reign;
Mat. 24:21 “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.”
Hitler had a hatred for the Jews, that, had he won the war, there would be no flesh – Jew – alive today, but for the elect – Jews – sake, the days were shortened, Germany lost the war;
Mat. 24:22 “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved; but for the elect sake those days shall be shortened.”
Jeremiah and Daniel also spoke of this particular tribulation.
Jer. 30:7 “Alas! For that day (time) is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s (Israel’s) trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.”
Dan. 12:1 “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered…”
The fact that all three books mention the worst time ever for the Israelites, and in each prophecy they were to be saved out of it, is prove that they all point to the same tribulation. The worst time in Jewish history was during the reign of Adolf Hitler. There are many people that say and believe it too, that God is through with the Israelites; nothing could be further from the truth. God chose the Israelites as his special people and they still are.
Love IreneApril 12, 2008 at 7:28 am#86887seek and you will findParticipantDeut. 7:6 “For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God; The Lord thy God has chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon
the face of the earth.”
Rom. 11:28 “As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes; but as
touching the election, the are beloved for the Fathers’ sakes.”
The third; tribulation period is just ahead. Jesus mentions it only by saying what will happen after it,
Mat. 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days (our days) shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.”
This will not only be a tribulation for the Israelites, but for the rest of the world as well. All religious powers and governments hear on earth will be shaken up. What we see on TV now and read in News Paper almost every day, is exactly what Zechariah said would happen over 2000 years ago.
Zech. 12:2 “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.”
v. 3 “And in that day (our time) will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people; all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”
What we are witnessing today is Satan’s desperate attempt to destroy mankind, with any means possible.
Rev. 16:13 “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.”
This is to say, that the dragon, which is Satan the Devil, has the beast/government, and the false prophet/religion, under his control, and with that the entire world.
v. 14 “For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.”
They are the spirits of demons, and what they have done to the minds of people, is nothing short of a miracle. Satan is working overtime in the minds of world leaders, and in his churched. Blaming the Israelites for the attacks of terrorists, and pressuring the Israeli government to give up land for peace, while the whole world knows, the sons of Ishmael don’t want peace, they want the sons of Jacob, Israel, dead. But Satan is also working in the minds of the people. Can you ever remember a time when people in our country behaved the way they do now? If you go back as little as 50 years, you would think you were in a different world. There is not a night going by were you don’t hear of shooting, murder, rape or child molesting. Satan has managed to blind the eyes, and stop up the ears of people, even those that call themselves Christians. They have allowed God and Jesus to be removed from this country. And is our government, and learning institutions doing anything about it? NO, in fact they lead the parade. This nation, and the rest of the world for that matter, has become so advanced with all sorts of technology, and everybody struggles to keep up, no matter what the cost. The problem with all that is, the more people have, the less they care. God had told another nation that would happen.
Deut. 8:5 “Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that , as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.”
v. 6 “Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.”
v. 7 “For the LORD thy God bringeth the into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills.”
v. 8 “A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive and honey.”
v. 9 “A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.”
Would you agree that this could be a description of our land? Would you also agree we have forgotten to bless God for the blessings?
v. 10 “When thou hast eaten and are full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he has given thee.”
v. 11 “Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day.”
v. 12 “Lest when thou hast eaten and are full, and hast build goodly houses, and dwelt therein.”
v. 13 “And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied.”
v. 14 “Then thy heart is lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God…”
We have become so arrogant to thing we have done it all ourselves.
v. 17 “And thou say in thine heart, my power and the might of mine hand has gotten me this wealth.”
Have we become so blinded to think the word of God is just a warning? Nothing more?
v. 19 “And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.”
v. 20 “As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.”
We have sunk so low, that we call good evil, and evil good.
Is. 5:20 “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
Look at just one of the many hypocrisies; if a pregnant woman is killed in an car accident, the guilty person for the accident is charged with a double murder, because the baby in the mothers womb is considered a human being. However, if the baby was to be aborted, killed by professionals, then the courts have decided, the baby is just a thing, not at all yet a being. What if the woman was on her way to have an abortion?
v. 21 “Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!”
What is it that our ministers are doing? They promise a rapture to heaven. And should they be getting involved in politics? that is not their job.
2 Tim. 2:3 “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.”
v. 4 “No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.”
Ministers are shepherds of their flock. They are to lead their sheep in the truth of the word of God, if they did, they would not have to preach politics to them. A Christian who reelects a corrupt politician, is obviously not a “Christian.”
Just as in the First and Second World War, Satan is trying his hardest, and succeeding, to turn nation against nation, because his main goal has not changed; the total destruction of the nation Israel, and all of mankind.
Rev. 16:16 “And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.”
Armageddon, or Megiddo, is a place in Israel, it is famous and symbolic for the many battles fought there, but it will not be the battlefield for this fight. This last battle will be fought from all sides of the nation Israel.
But God say’s, bring on the whole world, it matters not; and what you read next is about to be fulfilled too.
Zech. 12: 9 “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come (or are) against Jerusalem.”
Zech. 14:2 “For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the woman ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.”
God say’s, he will seek to destroy any nation that is against
Jerusalem; is there any nation left, that is not against Israel? By the time Israel will be attacked, the rest of the world will have already felt the wrath of God, and not even be aware of it. God will let the enemy get the upper hand first, and when it appears as though all is lost.
v. 3 “Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.”
God will leave no doubt in peoples mind who it is that is intervening on the behalf of the Israelis. God’s intervention in the battle will be understood by all nations because of the way he will defeat them.
v. 12 “And this shall be the plague where with the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.”
Many Pastors have explained this scripture to be the proof for Armageddon, the final holocaust. Would it be a man made bomb of any kind, it would kill friend and foe alike. It would not only consume the flesh of their bones, it would incinerate the whole body or at least blow it away. And this plague is only on those that fought against Jerusalem and Judah. The question is: Do we believe God will destroy us? Do we believe he can? How will he destroy us? Can we change his mind? God say’s, he would do nothing, without revealing it first to his prophets.
Amos 3:7 “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealed his secret unto his servants the prophets.”
God was about to destroy the city Nineveh, capital of Assyria, with all inhabitants, for their wickedness. So he sent the prophet Jonah to warn the people, that unless they repented and turned from their evil ways, God would destroy them all. Well, Jonah refused to go, because he would rather see those people destroyed. But God convinced him to go. Jonah went and warned the people, and they believed God.
Jonah 3:7 “And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the King and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing; let them not feed, nor drink water.”
v. 8 “But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God; yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.”
v. 9 “Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away form his fierce anger, that we perish not?”
v. 10 “And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.”
We will never know how God would have punished the people of Nineveh, had they not repented. What about us today, is God sending us prophets? Is God warning us? We have had indeed many wakeup calls, but is anyone listening? Do we believe all those so-called “natural disasters” are just coincidental? What are “natural disasters”? Why do we even call them “natural disasters”? They are “natures disasters”, but there is nothing “natural” about them. They were not in God’s plan when he first created mankind. When sin entered into the world, so did disease, sickness and death, and the earth was cursed also.
Gen. 3:17 “And unto Adam he said, because thou hast harkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.”
Paul says, not only do we wait for the redemption of our dying and decaying bodies, the whole creation is groaning.
Rom. 8:19 (from the NIV translation)
“The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.”
v. 20 “For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope
v. 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.”
v. 22 “We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.”
God is trying to get our attention and yes, we have Prophets in our time, but we call them “Scientist”. They prophesy we call it predicting. They “predict” that the BIG ONE, earthquake, in California is over due. They “predict” that Yellowstone Park, a caldera’s, can erupt almost any time now.
Is. 13:9 “ Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate; and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it”.
v. 10 “ For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine”.
If you ever saw the computer dramatization of the eruption of Yellowstone Park, or other monster Volcanoes for that matter, then you should have no problem understanding that last scripture. Our God is a very patient God, but we have interpreted his patience as slack, and have become arrogant and proud, not to mention self-reliant; big mistake. Israel’s last punishment is also God’s wrath on the whole world.
v. 11 “ And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible”.
Our Scientist “predict” that part of an Island of Hawaii will break off and cause a tsunami several hundred feet high. They “predict” that a much greater part of an Island, off the west coast of Africa, will slide in the Ocean, causing a tsunami, perhaps a thousand feet high. On top of that we have to deal with Hurricanes, Tornadoes, floods and mudslides, droughts and fires, not to forget Earthquakes; and are they not getting worse? Yes, I say God has sent us his Prophets, and yes, he has warned us. All of our Ministers urge us to repent. Are we so blind not to see the writing on the wall? How far do we dare stretch God’s patience? It is up to the King, or President to save his nation, to lead his nation in justice and righteousness, if he will not, God promises protection to those individuals who love and obey him.
Ps. 91:3 “Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.”
v. 5 “Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;”
v. 7 “A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.”
Nature’s disasters may not be the only problems people will have to face; it may be the trigger to the world’s greatest calamity. Already we are heading toward a condition that started the greatest and bloodiest revolution in history, the French Revolution. France was the most Christianized country; in fact, France was the protector of the papacy and the church. But when the people were pushed to the limit, they turned against state and church. The result was anarchy.
People in our country are facing financial ruin, and our government is sending our tax dollars as “aid” to other countries. What would happen if we had to deal with several disasters like “Hurricane Katrina” all at once? I can tell you what would happen, anarchy.
Is it not strange that people cry out to God, after a disaster? If 80 % of our nation is Christian, why are the 20 % that are not, getting their way? It is because of the 80% not standing up for what is wright, and condemning what is wrong, we are experiencing all the things that seem to be going wrong. What is happening to us has happened to another nation long ago, but this time I believe, God is speaking to US.
Jer. 25:15 “For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send the, to drink it.”
v. 16 “And they
shall drink, and be moved, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
The sword means violence and bloodshed.
v. 26 “And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of She’shach shall drink after them.”
v. 29 “For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, (Jerusalem) and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of host.”
Do you understand what God is saying? If he will bring evil on his city, Jerusalem, do we think he will leave the rest of the world go unpunished? He will not.
v. 30 “Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, the LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.”
v. 31 “A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD has a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD.”
Them that are wicked, you don’t have to be among them.
v. 32 “Thus saith the LORD of host, behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.”
v. 33 “And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.”
The number of the dead will be so great, those that remain wont be able to bury them all or mourn for them, because the trouble will be so great, it will be hard to comprehend. People will be in shock, and no one there to help or console then.
v. 34 “Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.”
v. 36 “A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD has spoiled their pasture.”
Where will the shepherds, Pastors, be? Their flocks will wont to know; when will we be raptured? They all thought, belonging to a church would bring them safety, and now they have to learn the terrible truth.
v. 38 “He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.”
Our story, although a human story repeated over and over again, is a sad story. Look where we have been, and where we are now. Do not the next two scriptures describe US?
Deut. 28:43 “The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.”
v. 44 “He shall lend to thee, and thou shall not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.”
And what has brought us to where we are today? Greed, envy, arrogance, pride, just to mention a few. Does any one think or feel the need they had to change? No, why should they? People are made to believe all they have to do is come to church on Sunday, and before all the trouble starts, they all go to heaven. And who are the leaders of our nation? Who are they to say, we don’t need God to lead us? Have we forgotten what Daniel told king Nebuchadnezzer?
Dan. 2:37 “Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.”
Dan. 4:17 “This matter is by the degree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.”
What are basest of men? The definition is: morally low, disgraceful, and debased, meaning, have become lower in value and dignity. And yes, our leaders certainly have lost their honor, trust and respect. And we, the people, are responsible for that, because we don’t hold them accountable, they are in deed, our representatives. We will reap what we sow, and what a harvest it will be.
If you are still not convinced that God will punish all nations, read the next two verses and think hard about what they say.
Is. 24:6 “Therefore has the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.”
Zech. 14:16 “ And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of host, and to keep the feast of tabernacles”.
From all those that are left; will you be among them? Jesus was telling us, that immediately after the tribulation of those days, Mat. 24:29, we don’t know how long those days will last, what he did say was that after all the destruction and devastation, he will appear; not like he did the first time, as a babe, but as King of kings in all his glory.
Mat. 24:30 “ And then shall appear the sign of the son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory”.
No human will actually ever see Jesus Christ again; the only way we will see him, is hidden behind a cloud; Jesus is now a divine, glorified spirit being; he shines as the sun in full strength, and who can look at the sun on a cloudless day?
Rev. 1:16 “And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.”
Jesus even told us that we, the world, would not see him no more, why is it so hard to believe the truth?
John 14:19 “Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more…”
We won’t see him with our eyes, but we will know he is here; because this will be the beginning of his thousand year reign; he is “ Lord “ and it will be his “ day “. It is in this “ day “, that he will judge – teach – the world; the living and the dead, as they are being resurrected;
1 Cor. 15:22 “ For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive”.
v. 23 “ but every man in his own order…”
There should be no doubt as to who is all; every body that dies is all; you don’t even have a say in it; if you die, you will be resurrected; it’s a done deal, after that you can refuse to live forever, all you have to do is disobey God, that’s all; you can also be sure of this; this world as we know it, won’t be the same;
Is. 65:17 “For, behold, I create new heavens, (Gods Churches) and a new earth, (new society) and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.”
Most people believe this verse, and the one in,
2 Peter 3:10 “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”
Is saying, God will destroy the whole planet Earth and heaven too. That is not the case. Look at the next verse.
v. 7 “But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”
Heavens is a metaphor for places of religious authority, man made religion; and how many religions do we have on earth? God’s heaven is thee place of all authority. Reserved unto fire against the day of judgment, until the day of his wrath, that day is not very far off. Fire simply emphasizes total destruction, he will destroy everything man has made, the same as perdition, destruction of u
ngodly men.
v. 11 “Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved…”
All what man has build and created will be destroyed, his governments, his societies, his religions, our very way of life, but not the earth itself.
Ecc. 1:4 “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.”
During Christ’s thousand-year reign, he will remove all rebellion, and opposition, he will remove all sin and evil; and God will bless the earth by removing the curse.
Is. 35:1 “The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose”.
v. 5 “ Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.”
Job 33:25 “ His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s; he shall return to the days of his youth”.
All diseases and sicknesses and birth defects will be healed.
Is. 35:6 “Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.”
v. 7 “And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.”
God will create new living space for the living and for those being resurrected.
v. 8 “And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those, the wayfaring men, though fools shall not err therein.”
No, it is not “I-35” going from Mexico to Canada.
v. 9 “… but the redeemed shall walk there.”
Who are the redeemed? For whom did Jesus die? Did he not die for all mankind? Every man, woman and child have been redeemed, set free from the grave.
Rev. 20:13 “And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell (grave) delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.”
All the dead will be resurrected, whether they died at sea or were buried in the ground.
v. 12 “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.”
Twice now we have read, “they were judged according to their works.” Just what does that mean? I thought we are saved by faith?
Rom. 3:20 “Therefore by the deeds of the law (works) there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
v. 21 “But now the righteousness of God without the law (without works) is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets.”
v. 22 “Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference.”
v. 23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
v. 24 “Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”
There is just one problem; how many people have died never even heard the name Jesus? So, if their works don’t count, and they don’t know Jesus; how can they get their name into the book of life?
Rev. 20:15 “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire”.
Paul had asked the same question.
Rom. 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
v. 14 “How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?”
Because;
v. 17 “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Rom. 3:28 “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds (works) of the law.”
That is how and when those who never heard the name “Jesus”, and those who rejected him now, will have a chance to get their name into the book of life. That “IS” what the millennium, Christ’s thousand-year reign, is for. That is why obeying the gospel then, is referred to as a highway.
A highway is very wide, compared to the narrow path the saints had to look for. What this means is: that no one has to guess or wonder, whom, or what to believe. God will open the minds of all people and understanding the truth will be much easier.
Hab. 2:14 “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.”
Zeph. 3:9 “For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.”
Jesus redeemed all of us, finding the way of holiness will be no problem, but the only way we achieve holiness, is to keep walking, to walk on this highway, which is not a real highway, means, to strive to overcome sin. You will be given plenty of time, if you refuse to go on, you perish! All will be given a hundred years to learn God’s way, it does not matter who or what you are, or what you did; you ask God to forgive you, you will be forgiven.
Rev. 21:7 “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.”
v. 8 “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
That of course is referring to all those that have in this lifetime, committed such heinous crimes, that they feel they cannot possibly be forgiven, or don’t deserve to be forgiven, or too ashamed to ask for forgiveness. Only when you confess your sins, and overcome them, will you inherit all things, eternal life.
Is. 65:20 (from the N I V Bible)
“ Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; he who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere youth; he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed”.
What this is saying is; it does not matter whether you will be resurrected as a child or as an old man, the time given to either be the same.
Rev. 20:11 “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place foe them.”
The white throne stands for truth, righteousness, and justice, and he that sits on it is Jesus Christ. Before him all man made governments, mans way of life, earth; and all the heaven, man made religion, churches, will be done away with. During his reign, Christ will establish God’s government, new earth, and new heaven, churches or places were people will learn nothing but the truth.
Rev. 21:5 “And he that sat upon the throne said, behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, write: for these words are true and faithful.”
And this is what Peter has to say to all that will be resurrected.
Acts 3:23 “ And it shall come to pass, every soul, which will not hear that prophet (Jesus), shall be destroyed from among the people”.
It will not be a matter of cannot hear, understand, it will be a matter of will not hear. And that is exactly what the last “ day of the Lord “ pictures’,
Mal. 4:1 “ For behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of host, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch”.
Rev. 20:15 “ And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire”. (Destroyed for ever)
There will also be one last test for all mankind, a test of loyalty to the Father and the Son. This test will mainly be for those that were borne and raised during the millennium, which never exper
ienced the deceptive power and evil influence of the Devil. However, having received nothing but the truth and godly training, they have no excuse for disobedience.
Rev. 20:7 “ And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison”.
v. 8 “ And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Ma’gog, to gather them together to battle; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea”.
You should never think, “you got it made”, until you past this final test.
v. 9 “ And they went up on the breath of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city; and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them”. (everlasting destruction)
Satan will get to watch it all, and then be thrown into the lake of fire himself.
1 Cor. 15:26 “ The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death”.
Death is a condition, and can only be destroyed if he that causes that condition is destroyed, Satan.
Heb. 2:14 “… that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil”.
1 Cor. 15:28 “ And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him (the Father) that put all things under him, that God may be all in all”.
Rev. 21:1 “ And I saw a new heaven (God’s Churches) and a new earth (new societies) for the first (former) heaven (worldly religions) and the first (former) earth
(Societies) were passed away; and there was no more sea (nations)”.
God’s Kingdom will be a World Ruling Government, with Jesus as the righteous Ruler. He will build new societies, ways of living none of us can even dream about. No more Doctor, no more Lawyers, no more Police, no more crime, no more disease and no more death, no more divided nations, because we will all be one Nation under God, where did you hear that before?
v. 3 “ And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God”.
This then, is Paradise restored; and no one can even begin to imagine what it’s going to be like. Only then will the Father look on man again, not that any human will actually see the Father, that is a dimension, a human will never get to enter. But will that really matter? After all, can you think of a place you would rather be?
The only other place will be in your grave.Sorry this was such a long article, but a good one and I hope you will read it all.
Love IreneApril 12, 2008 at 4:06 pm#86903Not3in1ParticipantThanks!
April 12, 2008 at 8:43 pm#86922seek and you will findParticipantMandy! I looked and asked my Husband about it and He told me to Post this.
His death caused the old covenant sacrifices and offerings to cease, that’s what we read in,
Dan. 9:27 “…and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease…”
The entire verse, Dan. 9:27, has absolutely nothing to do with Antichrist, but has
everything to do with Jesus Christ. The Jewish sacrificing stopped when the temple was
destroyed, in 70 A.D., never to be rebuilt again. God was building himself a new temple.
2 Cor. 6:16 “And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God…”
What is the abomination that makes desolate, destroys?
Dan. 9:27 “…and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate…”
Christ’s sacrifice put an end to all other sacrifices; read Heb. 10:10 and Col. 2:13 again. He, Antichrist, on the other hand is teaching; Christ’s sacrifice is only cleansing us from Adam’s inherited sin that our daily sins can only be forgiven by a daily Mass sacrifice, during which Christ dies again, and again. Teaching that Christ’s sacrifice was not enough is an insult of the highest degree. It is a slap in the face of Jesus after he had just died for us an agonizing and tortures death. For something to be called an abomination is the strongest term used by God to show how much he hates it. Antichrist’s gospel has destroyed the true meaning of Christ’s sacrifice, even people that don’t celebrate the Mass, don’t understand that; it has spread all over the world. And that from the time this abomination would be set up there would be 1290 years till its exposure; exposure only because this abomination is still going on to this very day.
This is also out of another article about Daniel's vision. I think it explains it very well about what the abomination of Desolation is. So anybody who is under that system is with Antichrist according to this. Not everybody does understands this unfortunately. I hope that some good will come for bringing this to you, that you will understand it. It is rather involved. Is my Husband right about it? I have asked myself what else could the abomination of Desolation mean? Any input is appreciated.

Â It doesn't state the author of the article and is lacking in explanatory introduction and conclusion.
