Well - I thought we could all use some good news.
Was up in the wee hours of the morning watching TCT.TV and this Sid Roth Program comes on (It's Supernatural).
The host interviewed a man named John Fenn.
John has done some unusual things.
You will need to watch the video at the link to learn more.
But the one thing that really made me smile was that John Fenn who was "caught up into heaven" like the Apostle Paul was:
2 Corinthians 12:2: 2I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, (B)God knows--such a man was caught up to the (D)third heaven.
Whew!!!! 109 says it! My Pastor would say, “Amen!”
OH my - I had forgotten that Twilight Zone episode.....
Thanks for the reminder....very good!
(amen to what Persevero said!)
Hell is so real and so terrible - I cannot want it for anyone - including for those that I have thought were the most despicable human beings ever to live.
Unquenchable fire, total unending “outer” darkness, absence of God’s presence and love, being with satan and his demons.
Anyone who reads this and who does not already belong to Jesus Christ, Please, run to Him - NOW. He loves each of us so very much and does not wish for any to perish or be lost.
In fact Jesus is right now bringing in a huge harvest of souls just prior to His return for His Bride, the Church, His beloveds!
He is pulling out all the stops to reach every person on this earth in order to bring in as many as possible so they will be called up to meet Him in the Air in the next great event in the World’s history (HIS STORY) - called the Rapture of the church. (of all who belong to Him).
He does not want anybody to go through the Great Tribulation time that is about to come upon the earth if at all possible for us/you to escape this coming time of God’s Wrath.
It will be such a horrfic time that Jesus said unless He returns (at the end of this time) to cut it short, not a single human being would survive that soon to begin time called the “time of Jacob’s trouble” and long foretold throughout scripture - both hold and new Testaments.
Jesus came to save us - from both hell and, in this generation, from the Great and Awful Tribulation time because both have to do with the righteous judgment of God against the evil that is in this world and must be judged because God is Holy and because His word is totally true.
And Jesus of course came to save us FOR life in heaven, which starts here and now and goes on for all eternity with Him, with all who belong to Him, and, yes, apparently with all the beloved plants and animals as He sees fit to have there with us!
If you have never called upon that matchless name, Jesus, at whose Name every knee on earth, above the earth, under the earth must bow, please do so NOW while you still have time to do so.
For the time is coming, is almost here, when Jesus will return for His beloveds. If you have not turned to Him for salvation before He comes, you will be left here to go through the Great Tribulation which, thank God, is limited to only seven years.
But at that time you will have two choices - if you are still here:
Either take the mark of the Beast, the antichrist, who is soon to be revealed - and go to hell for all eternity....
Or to refuse the mark of the best and be killed, probably beheaded, but then you will go to be with Jesus immediately after you are martyred for your faith in Jesus.
(Millions will turn to Jesus during the Tribulation - that is certain.)
But wouldn’t you like to just avoid all that terrible trial and just belong to Him NOW so you will be safe in Him, in His “ark” that He will provide to protect all who belong to Him just as he provided the Ark of Noah’s day to preserve just that one family AND THE ANIMALS WITH THEM - while every other living creature WAS DESTROYED!
Yhere you all go - God preserved the animals in Noah’s Ark in that first deliverance from destruction - perhaps this means that our beloved animals will also TAKE PART IN THE RAPTURE WHICH IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN AS GOD’S “ARK” OF SAFETY FOR THIS COMING TIME OF DESTRUCTION ON THIS EARTH!!!
Anyway, may whosoever reads this thread come to the Lord Jesus, friend of sinners, Faithful Deliverer, Savior, Redeemer, Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world - and all our sin (we are in the very week in which we remember His first coming to do just this) - soon coming King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Oh how He loves each of us!!!
Turn to, run to Jesus, to be saved - NOW - TODAY - and then look up for our redemption draws near!
I have heard many such wonderful stories, FRiends. They are often true. FRegards ....
Interesting thread.
I believe you are correct in your belief that our pets do to to heaven, here’s why.
Anyone who has had a pet, knows that they have a unique personality, a spirit, an intelligence. They are not generic bacteria - each pet has a certain bit of soul to it.
Now, my belief is that a soul, a spirit cannot be destroyed, execpt by God ... and even that is debatable, as instead of destroying the Fallen, he banished them to outer darkness instead of destroying them.
So, if they cannot be destroyed; and they have not the capability of knowingly committing evil (knowing goodness, but consciously choosing evil) they cannot be banished to outer darkness. A Just God cannot punish those who do not know, or understand righteousness.
So, in short .... Yes, all Dogs do go to Heaven. And as Mark Twain alluded to, I hope I can be as decent, as gentlemanly, as loyal, loving and forgiving as my dog. My dog set a pretty high standard.
What a wonderful thought. Nothing to fear.
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." -- 2 Timothy 4:7-8" I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Right. No argument here.
But those angels that did not fall, and which are in heaven, did not require salvation through the blood of Christ in order to be in heaven.
Only people require salvation through Christ’s atoning work on the cross.
Christ did not die for the angels. Christ did not die for animals. But that doesn’t preclude them from being in heaven.
THX THX
I think I sent you an email. May have been to an old addy.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
70 X 7 DAILY.
I thought the PHOENIX & TIGER dish was over rated.
And the cat was none too happy tied up with a wire before the festivities, either!
I have only had one instance where I absolutely knew he was near and comforting me, but from all my reading that isn’t unsual so soon in the healing process because if they reveal themselves we come to depend on it instead of moving forward to complete our path in life. Some friends who lost a daugher very tragically have had multiple instances... Sometimes if we are alert we get a slight glimpse, but for the most part we have to wait until it’s our time.
“doesn’t preclude them from being in heaven.”
not to put too fine a point on it, but it does preclude the fallen angels from being in heaven.
I feel my comments were pretty clear. Why don’t you go back and read them in context and see if you still feel the need to put a fine point on it. I think you will see that I was not writing about the fallen angels. Thanks.
You are welcome. In the eastern orthodox church we do believe our animals will be with us in the next life.
Thank you. Enjoyed it. I have always hoped our animals would be in Heaven, and why not?
Amen - wonderful scriptures - thank you!
Love your comments!
Sorry - you gotta come again on that one. Not sure of what you are saying.
