Matthew 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. 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.
Earlier today I saw the correspondence of an angry conservative who was tired of the negativity of other conservatives. He raged that all we do is continually point out the bad. He went on to accuse those who focus on the negative trends as cowards, treacherous, and treasonous...fat asses who sit on their couches and whine with no action. My first inclination was to ask, "Who are you calling treacherous?" "Real brave sitting behind your computer...and not to my face where you would certainly be challenged to back up your words." "I may be fat, but what do you expect me to do beyond writing, voting, fighting for truth, and paying taxes?"
However I think I understand my fellow conservative's problem. I can see why he is upset given the dire situation we are in as a nation. He is merely voicing his natural hope that we can stem the evil tide. In a sense, he is preaching (or yelling at) the choir. Many of us have served our country in war time, put our lives on the line for God and Country. We have lost jobs because of not going along with Gay Pride Month. We have been called haters, right wing extremists, and fundamentalists because we believe in God’s word and America's God Given constitution. By now, we are used to getting yelled at, so receiving a tongue lashing by our own is not unexpected. His problem is trying to be positive in negative times. He is looking for good in a time of evil.
Ecclesiastes 3:8 A time to love, a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
The truth is we live in extremely negative times. Pointing out the negative (God awful) truth is fitting, realistic, and quite simply the truth! To be irrationally positive would be wrong. Historically, in desperate times like this, pointing out the negative was only bad for false prophets and lying politicians. They say, "peace! peace!" When there is no peace. How can make peace with enforced LGBTI indoctrination of our kids? Or the trafficking of baby body parts? Or forced socialistic atheism? Can we be positive when liberal politicians are discussing forced confiscation of our weapons and nuking those who resist? How can we positively spin a current government coup at the highest levels? Or be positive while watching the slow motion French Revolution of America right before our eyes? The positivists call us traitors?!? We are not liars.
1 Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Jesus Christ had nothing positive to say about the wicked and perverted generation He lived in. He did not give them a self help sermon, or a feel good message on positivity, or discuss the laws of attraction. Why? Judgment and destruction were coming in a few short years! God's own nation, Israel, who rejected their God was about to be destroyed in God's judgment! Today in America we are in a similar situation. America has forsaken God and our system has been weaponized against those of us who disagree. In light of our impending cultural collapse and financial doom, should we be positive? Shouldn't we be saying, "Come quickly Lord Jesus!?" I cannot cheer while watching the Fowler set the trap for us and our children.
Yes, Trump is the best President of our lifetime. But where are the arrests? Where are the orange jumpsuits and chains? Where are the perp walks and mugshots? Where are they? The fact is that whoever is actually in charge of our country will not allow Trump to get this done. This is America's hour of darkness. The hour of the power of evil...whoever they are. To not see this is ignorance! This is not the time for positivity.
If your theology is wrong, you will not do well in the coming judgment. No one but Bible Believers are going to see and hear. If you are a Kingdom Now, or Dominionist Calvinist (or Roman Catholic) person who thinks that Christians are going to rise up and take over the world for Christ, you will be disappointed. What will you do when medieval, or middle eastern style, Christian persecution begins? What will you do when Christians are forced to either take the "Mark of the Beast" or die staying true to Christ?
Revelation 14:9 Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11"And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name." 12 Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.
True Christians are preparing themselves and their kids for that day. Are you cheer leading for positivity? Better wake up, because this country is headed for hell. The only true hope we have is the return of Jesus Christ to fight for us (hopefully the Rapture). We are in the days of Noah...the days of Sodom...the last days. Just as God's nation Israel, has been reestablished for the final judgment, America and the world are queued up. Now is not the time for positivity, because the same demonic spirits working in people that kill our babies and euthanize our old people...are coming after us. Trump is trying to stop them...but he has little power against these forces. And they know it. Do you?
Go block the doorway of any "Planned Parenthood" slaughter house, and you'll find out! Btw, I highly recommend leaving your weapon at home.
Lets be realistic. The good people of this nation have done little to stop evil, and evil is succeeding beyond belief. How long suffering will the Almighty be, when innocents are being sliced up daily for flesh markets, or simply murdered for convenience?
Read your bible. Learn what happens to nations who turn their backs to God and embrace evil. Only a fool believes wishful thinking, or a positive outlook, will stop evil.
Ask the Jews, who boarded the trains for Auschwitz, about positive mental attitude.
“block the doorway of any “Planned Parenthood” slaughter house, and you’ll find out!”
Why don’t you tell me?
Psyops, if people allow themselves to accept the "unchanging nature" of the status quo.
President Trump says "fake news" and the usual suspects gasp in horror as their long-standing and convincing magic tricks are revealed.
Reality trumps fakery just on general principle.
In the Hebrew Bible order of the books, Cyrus the "Gentile Messiah" got the last word. He told God's people that they could go on up now. Folks had to be told.
When Moses parted the Red Sea he cut the red tape, just like that, by going in a direction that noone expected.
From the Divine irony perspective, Pharaoh and his army drowned in the sea of red tape that was cut for the Israelites only because Moses was the one willing to cut it, and Israel was the nation willing to go forward and start fresh.
Pharaoh saw the easy way open up and thought he too could go right in and through, not wanting a change of perspective, but to kill the people who opened the way.
Nothing new under the sun.
The Patriarchs were willing to get up and go. Why not.
Moses saw a burning bush that kept on burning. What was the deal with that weirdness? He was an highly educated man, yet he had the sense to realize that he didn't know everything, so better check it out. *Then* God spoke to him from the midst of the bUSh. Moses was ready, willing, and able to learn something new.
No wonder God chose him to redeem the people. He could have defaulted to his superior education - all the wisdom of the Egyptians - and God would have had to keep looking for one with a humble spirit of discovery and revelation.
Hope that helps.
When a person prays they increase the action potential firing rate of the pyramidal neurons of the cortex of the brain which in turn increases the frequency of consciousness.
After sufficient soul cleansing and increased prayer, a person’s consciousness reaches a frequency sufficient to perceive reality directly with consciousness itself rather than being restricted to perception through the five physical senses.
This is the process of being “Born of the Spirit.”
This happens when operational consciousness frequency moves from the beta frequency into the gamma frequency.
If a person prays too much and/or the Holy Spirit moves in prior to sufficient soul cleansing, the physical body begins to shake vigorously. This is how the Quakers and Shakers earned their nsmes.
“That was a heck of a thread! A real fun ride! “
I was in there and it was insane. Haven’t seen anything like that here in years. I never knew I was such a worthless asshole even though my wife keeps telling me.
Before the nation of Judah was taken into captivity, the King was told by a prophet that it was going to happen. It would be best if they just took the punishment, and went quietly. The King fought, he planned to flee, and instead of saving his life and that of his family, they were all destroyed. He was told to not buck Gods plan.
The same thing is going on today. We are going into captivity no matter what we do, we need to prepare our hearts and minds, not food and weapons. We will be saved from destruction, just be true to Jesus, and trust that God loves you enough to give victory to you in the end.
It is going to be a rough ride. Trump is fighting a good fight, but if we are in the timeline I believe we are, he will lose. Not because of lack of trying, but because Gods plan cannot be defeated. Make no mistake, the Man of Sin and the worldwide system will come into being. It is Our Fathers plan, Satan just thinks it is his plan. We can fight, or we can pray and trust in God. Both ways you will end up in the right place after death, but one way lets you make it through while still “working in the field”. The other will leave you angry, and with a less fruitful life. JMO...
Excellent points and thank you for the scriptural context.

Answers have to do with the ‘Outrage Trap’ described in this link and posted below:
http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3786604/posts?page=67#67
Here are some counterintuitive developments that are frustrating and discouraging but are actually good moves:
1. Barr and Durham are NOT after all the lies that were told in the spying and coup as those are likely not winnable prosecutions. To understand this means to understand what a “counter-intel investigation” is and why Susan Rice’s last minute memo covered all their behinds. It’s called the OUTRAGE TRAP. Here is a must-read to understand why things are playing out as they are:
Beware of Obama’s Outrage Trap – Susan Rice’s “By The Book” Memo…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/03/31/beware-of-obamas-outrage-trap-susan-rices-by-the-book-memo
Sundance followed up with some pieces on this but this one sets the stage for people to get an inside baseball view of what’s going on.
It goes like this:
Senate Committee Member: “You said in your report here on page such and such that stuff happened and that so-and-so did stuff all of which are provably untrue! This is outrageous!”
Swamp Response: “Yeah? So what Senator? We’re allowed to create disinformation under a counter-intel investigation.”
The Outrage Trap gives them all a stay-out-of-jail free card.
2. The above is why Senator Graham has been delaying holding hearings on all the lies, corruption, and coup plotting. The miscreants have an out. Graham and his staff are not stupid, they see the Outrage Trap and are sidestepping it. And they’ve taken a shellacking for dragging their feet to get geared up and in the game.
3. The Outrage Trap is also one of the factors the OIG Report was delayed indefinitely. The reason for this delay is presumably that Wray is still conducting his classification review. My take is Wray was told to sit on it. Wray. like Horowitz is a DC trough feeder. He’s neither White Hat nor Black Hat. He’s all things to all views signifying a whole lot of nothing. Careers and retirement are paramount at this stage. And that Trump fellow just might be impeached or the Fed will crash the economy and state media will go full nelson to make Trump accountable for it, hence losing in 2020. Then all the Wray’s and Horowitz’s in DC will need to face the hard left. This is the game they’ve learned to play.
There are more factors in the OIG Report delay. Horowitz in all likelihood wrote the telephone book sized report so that it threw red meat to conservatives while providing an out to Deep State Traitors. The report would drag on and on due to its sheer size and cause hearings to be held well into Summer 2020 with the Outrage Trap used as the universal get-out-of-jail pass.
Another factor in the OIG Report delay is that an ‘October Event’ was in works. A shooting, a whistleblower, a Russian prostitute, a war, a new BS Adam Schiff parody, an attempted assassination on the Trump family and children, etc. The Deep State and their Democrats have known for a long time that the FISA report was coming and of course they planned an event so sensational that their state media would be able to JAM the information signal channel of the OIG Report to the public.
4. Senator Graham’s feigned outrage at Trump’s Syria leave-the-Kurds-behind pullout was a good development. It confuses the state media. It makes him seem independent and at odds with the President so that when he does hold the hearings which will be delayed until further, he will appear IMPARTIAL. He’s taken a beating for this but he and his staff know what they are doing.
5. That leaves Barr and Durham at the fulcrim of saving the Republic. A couple of things on this.
a. Barr is well into his 70s and has stated that he has no need to ‘build or preserve political capital’. When people get to that age, they see life differently, they start to think of what they will leave behind. Most of the people they were close to on the way up are either retired or passed on. Barr’s character is what will determine which road he takes.
b. Nancy Pelosu remarked the week before last that Barr had “gone rogue”.
These two items a. and b. give confidence that Barr is going to do the right thing, what’s right for the country, not what’s right for the DC social strata.
6. Barr and Durham are not looking at FISA abuses as much as they are investigating the ORIGINS of the Russian-Collusion scheme. The ORIGINS will demolish the Outrage Trap and lead to winnable prosecutions against the Deep State. Getting the evidence and proof of the ORIGINS is game-set-match, it bypasses the Outrage Trap and beats the Deep State hands down.

General Lee lost the war for the South when he succumbed to frustration and ordered Pickett’s charge. He lost the Battle of Gettysburg badly. Winning wars requires patience and patience requires nerves of steel.
I’ll be back...
Thus Jesus’s comment....
“My Father and I are ONE.”
I disagree. First, because the Almighty sent a prophet with specific warning at that place in time. No such prophet has arrived in our time, as yet; assuming it isn't you. :)
Secondly, what we do have is the Almighty's scriptures. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, "If My people, upon whom My name is called, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
Since the Almighty dignifies us with free will, the power to make decisions of our own rather than having God or fate predetermine what we do, means our fate is in our hands.
Will we, as a nation, turn back to God before it's too late? I seriously doubt we will, but consider the ramifications if we did.
It would mean one of three things; 1. This is not the end-times; 2. The prophets of old will be proven wrong; or 3. The bible is a living document whose wording miraculously changes as mankind's future changes.
I tend to go with the latter, having looked for hours for passages I know I've seen but can no longer find. And as strange as the possibility may seem, isn't it also strange we live on such a perfect planet?! So, if He is capable to create heaven and earth, then the Almighty is certainly able to adjust and communicate our future based on our actions, IMO.
What I'm getting at is if we continue to be good servants, work to turn others back to God so His will on Earth be done as in heaven, He will honor his pledge to heal our land.
Keep reading the bible and pray for a change!
And if there is no change, what are you going to eat once you go inside your house, shut the door and wait for this to pass as the bible tells us, unless you are prepared to do so?!
There will be no prophet until two arise and prophecy in the streets, some say it will be Elijah and Moses.
Fight all you want, as I do too. There was a show on TV where Lee Majors said “it is the darkest before it goes completely black”. It seems like that moment in time to me. The ONLY way out for our nation is with indictments of traitors in high places, and repentance by a large number of people. I see no reason to believe either is on the horizon.
To me, it is just about as dark as it can be without the lights going completely out. Then again, I live in deepest darkest Washington state.
Oh. You’re excused.
A HUGE Amen!!!
I am thankful you proved my statement correct, the word “rapture” does not appear in scripture, anywhere.
