[Joe.E.Sixpack]

I am not blessed by your use of God's Word as a tool of divination, to paralyze God's people with fatalistic resignation to the global triumph of evil. You are singing the song of the beast, not the song of the Lamb, in ascribing unto Satan that kind of power.

Well said my dear elect brother. It is an adulterous generation that seeks after signs and wonders.

[Quix]

I'm not about to tell God that HE cannot send to HIS CHILDREN as well as the world

the signs and wonders of the end times

WHICH HE PROMISED to send them.

BTW, I thought you were intent on context being used when interpreting and understanding Scripture. As I recall, the context of the Scripture you cited was for Jesus' first coming. But perhaps you could prove me wrong on that score.
