Remember “Doug,” the huge potato a New Zealand couple found in their garden last year? I wrote about him at the time:
…a charming little story out of New Zealand. It seems a couple found this huge potato growing in their garden. Since they didn’t plant it they’ve no idea how it got there. Colin explains that their gardening technique consists of “throw(ing) a bunch of cow manure and straw onto their garden and see what happens.”
Come to think of it that’s pretty much how we got our potato, too.
And we seem to be having the same trouble with our potato as Donna and Colin Craig-Brown had with theirs:
As the couple showed the potato off, it began drying out and losing weight. Mold started growing from its wounds. "He was getting a bit pongy," said Colin, referring to the potato's smell.
So they changed the spelling of their potato’s name to “Dug,” which seems more appropriate, and stuck him in the deep freeze planning to turn him into vodka at some point. Again, something we may wish to consider doing with our own pongy potato at some point.
But now, a year hence, comes the bad news from the people at the Guinness Book of World Records who were checking “Dug’s” DNA:
Guinness broke the news to Colin and Donna in an email last week. The message reads, in part “sadly, the specimen is not a potato and is in fact the tuber of a type of gourd. For this reason we do have to disqualify the application.”
So it turns out the big potato is nothing but a big fraud.
Donna with her tuber, in happier times
Now the only question remaining: does that make our potato the world record holder? Or is ours also a tuber?
What difference, at this point, does it make?
As they say, it is what it is.
And what it is I fear is quite obvious.
The question is what now?

I don’t talk in riddles brother.
I speak plainly.
Nonetheless, never mind.
We do not agree at all.
(The problem with that is scripture never shows Israel as the Bride of Christ)
Nice straw man.
Never suggested that, never taught that.
(Unless you state your position more plainly with a reasonable and scripture-based argument, as I said at the beginning, I don’t think we’re going anywhere)
It is plain.
Yeah don’t bother.
I had no idea you were going to attack me personally.
Believe whatever you’ve come up with
Strawman
(From your post here you seem to be suggesting the marriage Supper of the Lamb is after Jesus returns to kill the rest of the world and goes and gets Israel’s remnant.)
Didn’t say that at all.
I said the marriage supper is in Revelation 19.
AFTER the two witnesses, after the beast, after the false prophet, after the angels in Revelation 14, after Babylon is fallen.
Yes Armageddon is later in Revelation 19.
Good gosh. 🙄
I give up.
I have lots of questions on the timing of events in Revelation. Is there room for Deuteronomy 24.5?
Not sure there friend
That one I’ll leave to others.
God bless you.
I see the marriage and the marriage supper chapter Rev 19. Nothing about the wedding.
Yeah I basically agree with ya there
Every detail has to fit, even details from the Old Testament. God has written a masterpiece.
He’s definitely included a lot.
Curious. In your first post to me you said you agreed with me except for the ingathering. I don’t expect a huge ingathering until the abomination that causes desolation marks a clear line of distinction for the world
(The problem with that is scripture never shows Israel as the Bride of Christ) Nice straw man. Never suggested that, never taught that.
The problem is, since you're not forthcoming about exactly when and how you think the Marriage Supper of the Lamb will be and why, we're left to guess and my best guess you seem to be putting the Marriage Supper of the Lamb after Armageddon when Jesus retrieves Israel's remnant.
Tell you what - instead of attacking my guess, just spit out affirmatively what you ARE saying about when and how the Marriage Supper of the Lamb will be.
Consider this if you can in good faith:
Usually you have a wedding (in this case the “rapture”) followed by a celebration (in this case the Marriage Supper of the Lamb).
All Chapt. 19 of Revelation says is those in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb are blessed. But it doesn’t say the supper hasn’t yet commenced. We know that there is no “time” as we know it in Heaven but I happen to think the celebration and supper will last 7 years - duing the time of Daniel’s 70th Week AKA the 7-yeart tribulation.
The contrast in Rev Chapt 19 suggests this - the contrast between the blessing of those participating in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb versus the utter destruction of those who are now food for the birds in the Supper of the Great God.
Such a view also consistence with Luke 14 and other scripture.
I don’t want to get into a long, convoluted debate, but just asking you in good faith to consider this, and may the Lord give understanding.
We agree there will be a trib, etc.
I think your statement that America will be restored is pretty hopeful in the face of it all.
I do not share that optimism.
(The problem is, since you’re not forthcoming about exactly when and how you think the Marriage Supper of the Lamb will be)
(ust spit out affirmatively what you ARE saying about when and how the Marriage Supper of the Lamb will be)
I think it’s in Revelation 19.
Matt 22:7-8 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.I still don't know the order of events, but I see a possibility that the wedding will be after Armageddon. It does not seem like Christ would go of to war after the wedding. I also don't know how one of the guest got in without a wedding garment.
God bless you
