Revelation Ch. 11 and 1 Thessalonians Ch. 5

The Holy Bible (KJV) ^

[Faith Presses On]

"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever."

"And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth."

"Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it."

Revelation, Chapter 11

1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

1 Thessalonians, Chapter 5

1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

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.

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

16 Rejoice evermore.

17 Pray without ceasing.

18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

19 Quench not the Spirit.

20 Despise not prophesyings.

21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

25 Brethren, pray for us.

26 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.

27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.

28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. (The first epistle to the Thessalonians was written from Athens.)

[Faith Presses On]

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

This seems relevant given today's trans movement.

2 Thessalonians 2

1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,

2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.

3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,

4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?

6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.

7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,

10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness

(1 Thessalonians, Chapter 5)

Oh you know I’ll be here

🌝☺️😜🤣

✝️🙏🛐

[Alas Babylon!]

I can’t help thinking, that any of the Christian Thessalonians Paul wrote the letter to thought this was something that was going to happen soon—certainly something they’d witness in their lives.

Now, almost 2000 years later it has not—yet.

How do we account for this?

Non-Christians have used this to “prove” it is all a myth; that it never came true, therefore, Paul was just wrong or was simply deceiving these people.

We were told to wait all night for the bridegroom; to not sleep as the thief would come in the night. How long has the night been?

I say this not mockingly, but out of concern.

[SaveFerris]

The Lawless One is indeed coming. It’s good that 2nd Thessalonians has that reference what with what I’m about to show from 1st Thessalonians.

[SaveFerris]

[1st Thessalonians, Chapter 5

1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

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.]

First it was Obama, and Tony Blair, and Hillary Clinton, and George Mitchell, and the United Nations' Ban Ki Moon

1st Thessalonians 5:1-4 English Standard Version (ESV)

The Day of the Lord

5 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. 2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief.

"Peace and Security" in regards to dividing Israel and creating a Palestinian state. I don't know that the 60th-year anniversary of the U.N. means anything specific but if you haven't seen the video before, you might find it interesting in light of the ESV verse above.

***** Peace and Security Video ***** (click here - opens in a new window) -

7 years of 'Peace and Security' - "Peace and Safety" KJV - "Peace and Security" RSV

[SaveFerris]

Now, AFTER you've hopefully watched the PEACE AND SECURITY VIDEO above, then this will make more sense - the Lawless One WILL confirm the 'Peace and Security' deal that divides Israel. We are moving closer to that day than ever before.

'Peace and Security'

Now for a canned post (I am posting this as further proof of the times we are living in):

--------------------------------------------------------

THE FOLLOWING IS FROM SOMETHING I HAVE SAVED FOR THESE TOPICS - SO THAT THOSE WITH EYES TO SEE AND EARS TO HEAR MAY SEE AND HEAR

The real shame of it, I'm very sorry to say, is the following. The man got further than anyone, using the exact words the Scripture has prophesied. Words used by Hillary, Barack, Bibi, United Nations people, Tony Blair, etc. etc. etc. This (when confirmed by the Man of Lawlessness) will unleash the 7-years of Tribulation upon the Earth and there will be no shutting it down. (And in the middle of that 7 years, the Mark of the Beast (Revelation 13:16-18, Revelation 14:9-12). Then shall be Great Tribulation such as never was.) Not until the actual Second Coming of Jesus Christ to this Earth.

And then shall the "god of this world" be finally dethroned (AFTER the Second Coming of Jesus Christ), along with the kings of the Earth that followed him.

The following is composed from a previous post of mine. This is where this old world is headed my friends; it will not be stopped; for it was prophesied from old. It will....wait for it...come to pass. Exactly as the Lord has prophesied. All events will eventually (duh) lead to the Scripture being fulfilled. I can only pray to be worthy by the blood of Christ (Luke 21:34-36; Hebrews 1:3).

I hate to post it but my duty to the Lord comes first (in whatever small way it might wake some people up) - >>>Now I DON'T know that he's THE guy<<< - simply pointing out that the groundwork is being laid - EXACTLY as God's Holy Word in the Bible predicted.

1st Thessalonians 5:3

Revised Standard Version

3 When people say, “There is
PEACE AND SECURITY,”
then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape.

Just hang in there and keep plugging away.

As you know, with the Lord

1 Day is as 1,000 Years

and

1,000 Years is as 1 Day

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

Amen.

Thanks, Faith.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

Every one of those to whom Paul wrote has been taken, many, no doubt, as if by a thief in the night.

To paraphrase Dennis Prager, if we could understand God, we would be God.

You’re welcome, Cincinnatus.
