“Founding Fathers throwing tomatoes at its lost children?”

Founding Fathers turning over in their graves in unison.

That, or with the proliferation of the Internet as well as the 24 hour news cycle, we are just hearing about it more.

But then wouldn't we have been hearing more reports like this for the last, say, 5-6 years as well?

Most of us may have been on dial up back then, but we still would have mentioned it on FR. IMHO.

[Mom MD]

love your tagline

I’m rapture ready, although I don’t know that meteors have much to do with it. There are plenty of other signs that we are getting close.

[topcat54]

and that the *Delusion* people believe about Aliens, Alien abductions are the work of Satan and his demonic army.

Are you saying that UFOs aren't real? I'm shocked.

See post #56, the rate of occurrences of just one of the terms used here has had very little change even though the number of news outlets is increasing. This is just one term, but it is an example about how our current observation that it is happening more and more doesn’t fit reported numbers. Human observation has a way of doing that, the current state, short term memory, let’s call it our RAM memory picks up events and processes patterns faster than our ROM Hard Drive memory (past memory). It may always appear that things are more intense or more frequent, even if they aren’t. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard similar statements on how there are more ‘wars or rumors of wars’ now than ever before in history, which, in reality is complete bunk, but to the current observer, it may seem that way because of perception alone. The reality is, this is a pretty peaceful time in history compared to most others, but if you start with the agenda of looking for said patterns to fill a said belief, you’ll see and believe them.

Wallops Island country, perhaps some testing was going on.

No, nothing about dogs and cats sleeping together.

SO I guess GOD was just talking to himself..

He did not want us to be aware of anything, just that one day Jesus would come back...proceed on..

READ JOEL:20 30-31...

No one knows exactly when Joel prophesied. The book mentions no king but addresses his message to the elders and priests. For some biblical scholars, this suggests a post-exilic date (485 BC-400 BC). For other scholars, the early placement in the Twelve Minor Prophets, suggests that it was written as early as the reign of the boy-king, Joash, when his uncle and high priest Jehoiada ruled (835 BC).

There are passages in both Amos and Isaiah which are also in Joel (Compare Amos 1:2 with Joel 3:16 and Is. 13:6 with Joel 1:15 ). Therefore most conservative scholars assume that Amos and Isaiah borrowed from Joel, placing the writing of Joel prior to Amos and Isaiah.

Audience: From the prophecy itself, we may gather that Joel was a prophet of Judah and that he probably prophesied in Jerusalem (based on the references to the sanctuary in Jerusalem in Joel 1:9,13,14; 2:15 ).

The structure of Joel’s prophecies center around the concept of The Day of the LORD . He describes three Days, each with different circumstances, but all followed with a call to repentance and a time of deliverance for God’s people.

I wonder if some people realize the image (witness) they are giving to the world of Christianity when they say and promote stuff like that?

[Cementjungle]

Armageddon?

Obamageddon.

[SoldierDad]

LOL

[fanfan]

Thanks mnehring.

Good reality check.

Revelation 9:1

Matthew 28: 2-3

[TaraP]

Return and Resurrection

When He lived on this earth, Jesus promised to return:

I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also (John 14:2, 3, NASB).

Jesus also promised a resurrection of the dead at the time of His return:

Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs shall hear His voice, and shall come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment (John 5:28, 29, NASB).

Apostle Peter wrote:

As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful search and inquiry, seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow. It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven — things into which the angels long to look (1 Peter 1:10-12).

Peter explained that the prophets’ predictions of the Messiah’s suffering, death, and resurrection were not to be fulfilled in the time of the prophets, but that a significant part of those prophecies came to pass during his generation.

The Messiah’s return — the final revelation of Jesus Christ — is yet to be fulfilled.

Deuteronomy Chapter 18:

9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.

11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.

14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

Revelation 9:1

Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit.

Matthew 28: 2-3

2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.

OK, so? What does any of this have to do with the entirely natural phenomena we are experiencing today?

[TaraP]

Explain..What is natural about it?

I will answer the other in a bit...

[mnehring]

There is a difference between something that ‘is’ and something that is a sign. Revelation talks about a harlot having a child.. should we take this that every time a slut gets pregnet, it is a sign of the second coming, or is it just an ‘is’.
