No doubt we as a nation have served our purpose pretty much on the world stage...and God is clearly allowing things to move forward for his ultimate purposes. Which is obviously all we see happening now in the Middle East....and will continue to see.
Our politicians have and will be making all decisions for our country, NOT for the good of this country, but in cooperation completely with the Global Agenda.
.... This is why Obama leads from the rear...he's a follower of their intentions and comes in only when they need our military power. That's also why he always appears like he doesn't have a handle on things...he doesn't have to...he just has to ‘Look Like” it when the people object to keep the country in a holding pattern until they're done with us.
Mostly revenue based...billions and billions sent overseas to other countries to set them within the Global Aspirations...and to line up our banking systems.
Interesting Putin said, after Cypress ordeal, in fact Warned the International Community to get their holdings and monies out of the banking institutes for the greatest heist coming by the Globalists....that was March of this year.
Just this week we're learning Buffet, Soros and all the big investors are pulling out. Though the media isn't saying much.....As usual we the people will be the last to know as they are always ten steps ahead of us...and the Media in lock step with the Globalists....so their actions are a best piece mealed to us and always after the fact and they are secure to move forward.
When they see God himself destroying Russia’s attach on them..they will believe and understand. Until then their blindness remains..and this is from God for our sakes... so don’t be too hard on them....Besides God will protect those who are His among them...and those who will one day be His.
That is why we have the new media.
The media is pretty much controlled, not new....though often try to make it appear as if not.
This has been one of the primary goals of the Globalists... to control the information lanes to the people. They’ve been pretty much successful at doing that
...Unfortunately some of the off news sites, which begin telling it like it is, soon get overrun by the ‘fruitcakes’ and so they end up just as fruity and sound off like conspiracy nuts. That’s also deliberate by the Globalists.
Well, it doesn’t even need to be a sting if you are ready in your heart to be humble. It is a welcome warning.
And reconciliation is numero uno on His agenda. He won’t violate our wills, however. Because that would not be a loving reconciliation. It would be a puppet show.
Some have postulated that Barack will engineer some way to linger on after 3 years, and anything’s possible, but it seems to me equally likely that this presidential business will have blown back in his face enough that he’ll be glad to relinquish the “throne” while giving a hearty encomium to his Democrat comrades as he does so (even if it’s in a GOP sweep).
I’m just stating basic truths. God’s loyalty will remain and they will keep hobbling along albeit in egotist mode for a while (as have many gentile Christians). It took God’s miracles to blast by my own ego before I could appreciate the wonder of being humbled.
But at the same time, I agree with Justin Martyr when he wrote, "I and many others are of this opinion [premillennialism], and [believe] that such will take place, as you assuredly are aware; but, on the other hand, I signified to you that many who belong to the pure and pious faith, and are true Christians, think otherwise."
yup, when damascus is glass, you will know that’s done. and either israel does it, or russia. ohole won’t.
The church had problems grasping the meaning of events from the first. How many times did Jesus need to rebuke overly literal minded followers, yet Jesus did it in love, never damning them for their weak or misguided faith. If you’re a “Protestant” then you already know how quickly the best church can get into serious trouble. It really is a monument to God, and not to men. I believe Darby probably did catch some things that earlier believers missed, and because of the Holy Spirit and His timing. To me it seems like a film that is slowly, slowly developing a full picture. In its intermediate states it may look chaotic. But the picture is always there, just awaiting its final expression.
And Sarah Palin is right as rain about letting Allah [Satan] sort it out. Deliver them to a still-divided Satan.
No need to read more into Scripture than is there.
Several things occur before the AntiChrist is revealed.
The Great Apostasy or falling away, A covenant is signed between the AntiChrist and Israel for Israel’s security, and due to the lack of language regarding the Church in the end times and after the Rapture, it appears the Church Age will have ended in this final 70th week, and the Restrainer will be removed.
The language used is specific at the midpoint in the Tribulation. The AntiChrist is in the temple (dwelling place) and commits the abomination of desolation.
Many interpret this to imply another Temple must be built with a reinstatement of Temple worship for these events to be fulfilled. I see nowhere in Scripture where there is a change in the payment of redemption, nor anything where God changes His dwelling place other than the human spirit during the Church Age.
Even if somebody built a new Temple as described by dimensions in the Old Testament, it isn’t man who decides where God will dwell. God decides where He will dwell.
This ties into the mark of the beast.
If the mark of the beast is a two way communication device mandatory for commerce transactions, able to interfere with our mind’s thinking processes, then many Scriptural timelines make sense.
If we are saved and sin, we fall out of fellowship. God doesn’t cease indwelling because His work is not yet complete. We return to fellowship by a thinking process, namely 1st John 1:9. If we fail, we don’t return into fellowship with Him. If we fell out of fellowship and that process were continually interrupted, then that might also be described for the Body of Christ as a Great Apostasy.
The mechanics would also likely be accompanied by the ability to broadcast ideas into our thinking processes.
If this were to be broadcast and interrupted everybody’s thinking processes and everybody knew they lacked privacy in their thoughts, then all the world would likely remark, “Who can possibly oppose such a person?”
If that interruption occurs where the Holy Spirit indwells, and we are unable to return to Him, the He would not remain, because God does nothing that is good for nothingness.
Even if this is not the implementation of Prophecy, I see nothing that will dissuade those who are anti-christian from pursuing such an end, because they have an insatiable desire to not only grieve the Holy Spirit, but to quench the Holy Spirit. If they can steal a crown from those who are righteous, they will pursue it. If they can steal from God what is His, they will pursue it.
If this were to occur, then it would be a denial of the Son, that which He has sworn to protect and provide. He would then respond with a vengeance.
I suspect it will begin by rounding up and slaughtering all Christians and believers, just as was initiated in the Holocaust with Jews. This is likely in order to reduce spiritual opposition between believers and fallen angels by those who are anti-christian. Just as with Shadrach, Mishach, and Abindigo, I believe Jesus Christ will meet us in the air, establishing the Rapture.
There will be a signing of a covenant, ushering in the Great Tribulation. Somewhere in this time there will either be neural implants or marks worn on the head or hand for commerce. I believe these marks might also be associated with the ability to interfere with our thinking by a third party. When initiated, the 3rd party will attempt to counterfeit themselves in the role of God during the Church Age indwelling the human spirit.
Since the Church Age is made possible by the sacrifice of Christ, these actions will essentially steal His family members. There is significance in the mark of the beast more than a tattoo or simply choosing somebody other than God for a moment. Jesus Christ has warned us for 2000 years regarding the mark. It is more significant that the Holocaust. It is more significant than being decapitated or being martyred.
After the Tribulation, it should be noted we still have a Millennium with a rule of iron. I suspect in that time, the technology will remain, but the control will be placed in the hands of the righteous King. Human history will still have enormous strides to cleanse the mind, our memories, and thinking processes of sin, but this time those who are indwelt are His people, Israel.
We later receive our resurrection bodies, but not for while yet.
Thin how the Hebrew nation was thinking at the First Advent. They were expecting heaven and rose gardens in a twinkling of an eye. The next stages in Things to Come, will be significant, but there still remains a Millennium of human history and even then some time for the Adversary to be loosed before everything is consumed.
Just your opinion and your opinion only.
Well, in the scriptures especially as regards future times we aren’t furnished a lot in the ordered chronological format of a modern history book with chapters like “Revolutionary Times” “The Civil War” “Reconstruction” “Civil Rights Era” etc.
To modern man this can make the scriptures look primitive. But that is modern man’s arrogance. God cuts across time and space with patterns that are distinctive to Him and His work. Living it out is the best teacher of all (because it gets a relationship with the Holy Spirit down close and personal). This can fill in details that the worldly framed viewer of scripture will simply miss.
Don't forget amillenialism and postmillenialism, or preterist and partial preterist. Not all of us follow Scofield's notes or Darby's historically anomalous interpretations.
People tend to be not very self-aware about the assumptions the hold. I find this particularly true of the dispensationalists. "The Bible says..." and fill in the blank with whatever hobby horse they're riding at the time. There's not much awareness of the interpretive steps between the words of the Bible and where they end up.
