Ask any cop. Most drug transactions are done with $US bills.
The criminal bitcoin element is a myth.
That is what I said but he took me to task for being out of touch.
Though some may not agree with him (I do on many things but not exactly on everything) John Hagee says we are the terminal generation. I’ve always pretty much thought similar, especially since the late 1990’s.
BTW John’s a nice guy in person. I’ve met him 3 times now over the past 10 years.
AND let me add
a) things accelerated in 2001 (big duh)
but it didn’t quite go like I thought and then
b) things really accelerated in 2008
and then
c) the Democrats (and the world) have gone totally freaking nuts the past 2 - 3 years. Insanity
All this amid talking of “peace and security” in Israel - W, Tony Blair, Hillary, Obama, the U.N., the Quartet all pushed it. And it’s still alive.....taking the world to the Tribulation and the Antichrist (IMHO).
My opinion as well. Trump is a speed bump to the New World Order, but his election has only increased their rapid hunger to "complete the plan." They have not redoubled their efforts, they have quadrupled them.
Nothing will stop it. It's all on God's timeline.
Your friend is probably thinking about a dealer on the street. That is small time stuff. And a lot of junkies don’t have the money to get into bitcoin.
There are so many myths out there, it’s tough to educate the masses.
Pretty much similar views here as well. And like your tagline, it will be like in the days of Noah, and when most least expect it. I tend to think a significant event in the process will occur in the middle of night, since Yeshua told us the 'thief in the night' parable.
Not sure what that will be. Maybe the rapture, or nuclear Armageddon or both?!
Barring worldwide repentance and a return to a more righteous lifestyle on this planet, it's a given we're headed for unimaginable destruction and suffering.
Amen!
Whenever I encounter a fellow believer in Christ who also believes we are that generation that might culminate in The Lord’s Return for His People - it’s like finding a gold mine.
Things are escalating and happening so fast that as the late Jack Kelley put it - you can almost hear the footsteps of the Messiah!
Hang in there Bro!
I can't believe things have gone on for as long as they have either. But I'm glad they have. It's absolutely true the Almighty 'is long suffering'.
There are things I'm following that I believe mark a terminus for when things must begin, or I have to reevaluate my thinking on certain prophecies. And those clues to when things start to happen have a very near expiration date.
While we may sometimes disagree on things, let's do so gracefully that we may be worthy of the one we follow, and gently help one another to better understand sometimes complex matters not intended for those still nursing - as I'm sure you get my drift. ;)
[in the middle of night, since Yeshua told us the ‘thief in the night’ parable.]
Yep
It may include Ezekiel 38 happening - it will shock the world, too.
One of the very, very few areas where I disagreed with brother Dave Hunt (RIP). Dave thought it was Armageddon. Ezekiel 39 seems to hint around that.
But there are people who protest the Ezekiel 38 invasion. At Armageddon, it’s basically the whole world versus Israel. This is what necessitates the Return of Jesus Christ. (Armageddon would eventually destroy the world if left un-stopped, IMHO).
Besides, the Remnant 1/3 of Israel that has survived is protected from the Antichrist in Petra. He can’t touch them there though he will try.
And probably in the middle of the night, as we've discussed. I think it will be a coordinated attack by China, Russia, NK, and Iran, and perhaps Pakistan, with the last two above also attacking Israel and India, respectively, i.e. Ezekiel 38. There is good reading in Isaiah about this as well.
I'm uncertain how it actually plays out, but feel the actual land battle of Armageddon will come afterwards.
Christ states his return will depend upon when the nation of Israel proclaims His Divinity - this tells me something catastrophic must happen for someone of authority in Israel to make such a statement. And since it's also written Christ's return is to save Israel's remnant, logic tells me the final battle will be after whatever the initial event is, which really starts things off.
Just my own opinion, and maybe the majority's, based on my limited research on the subject, and what I see developing on the world stage. Sounds like we basically agree.
Amen! Absolutely!
Dunno.
Be careful with Babylon, Jack van Impe and many other false prophets like him have tried to make America as “Babylon” from Jeremiah 50-52. Completely ignoring Jeremiah 50:1.
That being said, many western nations are imitating Babylon these days.
Jack van Impe went on and on and on way back about the Russians attacking via Jeremiah 50-52. Completely-wrong.
Rumor was he got invited to the WH way back - if so, this could be why some have suggested that W thought he was fighting Gog-Magog.
I can promise you they were looking at Bible Prophecy back then. Somebody in the inner circle was.
Jack van Impe has gone so far off the rails these days that I no longer turn on his show. Not for years. Couldn’t stand the frustration of all of his error. So I finally stopped looking at it.
He did do a great invitation to the Gospel years ago.
IMHO, and I certainly can’t prove this, I expect another economic crash, worse than 2008. There’s been nothing done since 2008 except deficit spending and accumulation of debt. Oh, sure. Some regulations here and there.
I would rather believe they opposite. President Trump has tried to unchain the country - he would have done a MUCH better job than the Lying Kenyan. But then, the Lying Kenyan was a Manchurian Candidate.
I would rather believe THE opposite
Totally agree.
Concerning mystery Babylon, I've come to the conclusion of who it represents solely on my on, based on descriptions of her in scripture, and which nation more closely matches those descriptions as of today.
100% sure, no, pretty sure...yes. But that conclusion is only good for the present time. As time passes, my idea of who/what mystery Babylon is may change. JMO. YMMV.
I've listened to and read the books of many theologians. I know of none which I come close to agreeing with 100% on their beliefs/ideas. That said, I usually find something can be learned from most. But my primary source of knowledge, besides the Grace of the Almighty, is the scriptures themselves. For some reason, He has blessed me with some limited ability to interpret them for myself.
Look closely at the Scripture surrounding Mystery Babylon.
She’s described as a city. Not just once, but multiple times :)
