>>When Evil has Destroyed the Foundations, What are the Righteous to Do?<<
My tag line. What should a Jew in Germany have done in the early 30’s? What did most of the ones who lived past the 40’s do? They left.
You have to choose your battles and, when possible, choose the battlefield. Our battle is not political.
Our God is not surprised by any of this, and neither are those who have read His Word. And, if we’ve read His Word, we also know what to do when the foundations are destroyed - we go with the last orders given: we continue to stand for righteousness, continue to act on the Great Commission, trust Him for the rest of the story (which we also know), and look forward to the Hope of Glory.
Amen!
I am convinced that either we are very near the 70th week of Daniel or we are just at the cusp of another phase of “bad times” as in the 1939 to 1945 time frame. But this time the US will be more acutely affected.
Based on some rather simplistic math, I tend to believe the bible gives us until 2018 to get ourselves into the Great Tribulation.
Contributors to the math:
1948 - Israel becomes a nation
“This generation shall not pass away until...”
In the Bible, a generation is considered to be 70 years.
Like I said, simplistic math, but it is based on many scriptures that seem to reinforce it. But it is still just my attempt to “recognize the signs”.
Up till about 1975, Jack Chick told us that "a Bible generation is 30 years." Then he changed it to 40.
"Generation" is used for a number of things in the Bible, but a set measure of time is not one of them.
>>”Generation” is used for a number of things in the Bible, but a set measure of time is not one of them.<<
You are correct. I get creative with this one. It says that the same generation will see a particular series of events. Then I plug in stuff like Psalms 90: 10
But it is only study on my part. I could be all wet. I do see a lot of stuff coming together though, both biblical and extrabiblical. We are given clear instruction to watch and understand. It is what I am attempting to do.
Thank you, I will pingify later today, have to run out the door in a minute.
Have to renew my drivers’ license, got one in this state first in 1983. I tried and I didn’t have my birth certificate, even though I brought my old DL and passport, not enough.
Too bad the putative president doesn’t need to show the kind of ID’s I need to show just to renew a DL!
2 Chronicles 7:14 refers to God’s people - the Christians, are to humble THEMSELVES and repent of their own personal sins (not those of the nation)
and He will heal the land.
The title brought back good memories. My favorite uncle was a home missionary, planting churches in the U.S. This was the title/theme of his most-preached sermon when visiting his supporting churches. In Heaven now, since 1998.
And, we are commanded to read the signs....despite “popular” (and unbiblical) opinion that would tell us we can’t know anything.
I do believe the strong delusion has been sent...which would mean we aren’t simply (again, as popular opinion would have it) “in a cycle.”
snip: I do believe the strong delusion has been sent
Spirited: And what passes for stronger evidence of strong delusion than the millions who no longer believe they have souls and minds?

Back from my little break of list pinging - and what better way to dive in than this essay by Linda Kimball. I was going to read the whole thing before pinging but had to just do it.
It's concentrated nutrition. Here are a few nuggets:
In short, rational thinking is morally-informed reasoning.
By the degree to which the moral sense is corrupt, so too is reason. The greater the degree of corruption, the more depraved is reason.
Either truth, morality, laws, and rules have enduring, fixed meaning or they do not. If they do not, which is the stance of America's legions of narcissistic immoralists, then truth, morality, laws, and rules are to be made up as they go along, according to what they want when they want it.
Now I'll read the rest of it. Even if someone doesn't have time to read everything they want on FR, read this one.
All men, regardless of creed, color, and sex are human beings made in the spiritual image of the transcendent Creator, hence each person is endowed with an individual immortal soul and a mind endowed with reason, conscience, will, imagination, and memory. This means that all men, while not physical or mental equals or equal in gifts and talents, are however, spiritual equals in the eyes of their Creator...
Beautiful.
Amazingly excellent.
I will read it again tomorrow. Early night tonight.
An absolute Must Read.
