See you in the clouds ...
Pass me some bread at the wedding feast!
And every day He tarries is another day of His grace and patience being bestowed upon an unbelieving people. Reconciliation
is the heart of the Gospel the GRACE of God. He offers us reconciliation not based on ANYTHING other than The FINISHED WORK of CHRIST. 2 CORINTHIANS: Chapter 5.
MARANATHA!
To get a clear picture of “almost” read the OT.
Amen. The TRIBULATION is about Israel mainly for lots of reasons. God promised Abraham that his people (Israel) would be a nation of priests for the rest of the nations. And so they will be
At the second coming of Christ, when He sets up His kingdom, appoints The Twelve thrones to sit upon, judging the 12 tribes of Israel who will be ministering to the nations.
This is what the Old Testament and Acts through Revelation are all about.
Which leaves ROMANS through PHILEMON, Paul’s EPISTLES and instructions for the Gentiles and those Jews who believe during this dispensation of the GRACE of God.
Roger that.
I live in the boondocks. . . This message had a beginning and an end . . .absolutely nothing else. We had an old fashioned huge satellite that was turned off and I’m not so sure the head phones were even on. I just immediately told my mother in the kitchen what happened.
I like your tagline ...
The sheep and the goats are being divided.
You should see all the antichrist liberals at Yahoo.
They have to be Huffington Post people. They certainly are MSNBC and CNN people.
Yep and yep.
I’ve been waiting for the third temple to be built. That is a key sign for me as to how close we are. Israel damn near has everything ready to go, the utinsels made, the red heffer, ect. And Israel even has a whole party in the Knesset who’s sole purpose is to see that the temple is built. Rumblings of Jerod Kirshner’s peace proposal may be the “7 year peace treaty”? that emcompasess the days of tribulation. Knowledge HAS been exponentialy increasing. People HAVE been calling what is evil “good” and what is good “evil”, exchanging “truth for lies” and “lies for the truth” Ring a bell?..The current Pope is the one schedualled to be the one in cahoots with the antichrist (though the situation with Pope Benedict does throw a wrench into things) one intriguing prophecy is about the birth of Israel becoming a nation and the generation that sees this happening will be the ones who see the Lords return. But that and really many prophecies are open for interpretation and can have other meanings relating to different events in history. In my heart I feel pretty confident that if the Lord lets me live just 5 more years, I will see the events of the end of days get to such a point that I will to know that very soon after this “tribulation” (or half way through?) will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Specifically, he said the common bond is in the belief that one day soon, there will be a war as described in Ezekiel 38-39, in which Israel will battle a coalition led by Persia, which is considered today to be Iran, and through this battle the messiah will come.
The Battle of Gog-Magog (as some call it).
Ezekiel 38 is going to happen one of these days. Prophesied about 2,600 years ago. It’s for the Latter Days (v. 16) and the Latter Years (v. 8) (KJV).
Ezekiel 38 KJV:

Ezekiel 38 King James Version (KJV)
1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Of course belief/unbelief in The Rapture is not a Salvation issue.
We who are His Children are called to know the Truth about God. The Church was a ‘mystery’ to the OT Patriarchs/Prophets and even the Apostles until Pentecost and Paul elaborated on it’s destiny even further in his writings.
The Lord might discipline His Children, but He’ll never forsake or judge them with the ungodly children of the enemy.
Why would He?
There is a reason the invaders are on horseback and it is linked to the cleansing of the first Heaven where we shall meet the Lord in the air.
Just seeing what is happening world wide and especially Europe and America I’m wondering just how bad the days of Noah were. Even so, come Lord Jesus
[looked like]
Meaning “thought I’d grab some with ‘Pride’ for memes”.
Trust me, what you see on TV and in the media are HEAVILY SANITIZED.
Because they don’t REALLY want you to see these people in action.
Much of the world has gone raving mad with this, especially since Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama committed his abomination of the White House.
Just Europe & America? It’s bad everywhere else too.
Kids are being tortured, enslaved, and abused in the most horrific ways across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and this side of the world.

Christians are being hacked to death across Pakistan and India for succeeding in their lives and living out Christ’s promise.
I’m beginning to imagine that the world population levels of Noah might have been even double to what they are currently. That said, the slaughter even worse.
Come Lord Jesus!
