A great explosion is about to come , Destroying things not of my kingdom , Prophecies told about to unfold , Things new wiping out the old , The storehouses of God's lightning released , Disturbing things now resting in peace , Ancient walls suddenly cut down , Nothing left but burnt glass on the ground , As paper mache burnt and blown away , A prophecy of the past happening in one day , A blink of the eye and nothing left to see , Yet all the nations witnessing God's majesty , A turning point in a war , An incredible change never seen before , Not even Sodom and Gomorrah know , A judgment this quick a sudden blow , Not even time to turn around , Yet a sudden removal of land and crown , Not even a brick left to restack and lay , A choice and a judgment chaff blown away , Too little praise their choice in time , What once was theirs now is mine , Yet what shall rise up from this dust , Nothing more of man or his trust , But a promise from your God , Of a laying down of a staff and rod , A renewing of authority , My will being done on top of catastrophe , A pleasant change and expansion of my kingdom , Not man's will but mine being done ,
You speak in riddles you say ?! But my will shall be done and revealed on this judgment day , Let it be known I speak of it in my word , So this is nothing that has not been heard , Yet another sweeping of the threshing floor , As I open heaven and move my sword , Much blood will spill within one day , Causing chaos and heavenly fear , a great dismay ,
So tell me children what will you do ? Follow me or follow you ?!
Isaiah 17 Proclamation Against Syria and Israel 1 The burden against Damascus.
“ Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, And it will be a ruinous heap. 2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken; They will be for flocks Which lie down, and no one will make them afraid. 3 The fortress also will cease from Ephraim, The kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of Syria; They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” Says the LORD of hosts. 4 “ In that day it shall come to pass That the glory of Jacob will wane, And the fatness of his flesh grow lean. 5 It shall be as when the harvester gathers the grain, And reaps the heads with his arm; It shall be as he who gathers heads of grain In the Valley of Rephaim. 6 Yet gleaning grapes will be left in it, Like the shaking of an olive tree, Two or three olives at the top of the uppermost bough, Four or five in its most fruitful branches,” Says the LORD God of Israel. 7 In that day a man will look to his Maker, And his eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel. 8 He will not look to the altars, The work of his hands; He will not respect what his fingers have made, Nor the wooden images nor the incense altars. 9 In that day his strong cities will be as a forsaken bough And an uppermost branch, Which they left because of the children of Israel; And there will be desolation. 10 Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, And have not been mindful of the Rock of your stronghold, Therefore you will plant pleasant plants And set out foreign seedlings; 11 In the day you will make your plant to grow, And in the morning you will make your seed to flourish; But the harvest will be a heap of ruins In the day of grief and desperate sorrow. 12 Woe to the multitude of many people Who make a noise like the roar of the seas, And to the rushing of nations That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! 13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters; But God will rebuke them and they will flee far away, And be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind. 14 Then behold, at eventide, trouble! And before the morning, he is no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, And the lot of those who rob us.
Just my humble opinion, but the most important thing a soul can do is make sure they are up-to-date with Jesus.
All this worrying about the end-times is useless.
The bible is clear that no man knows the time of the 2nd coming of the Lord.
And still, the most important thing in life, is being forgiven and saved by Jesus!
Everything else, including knowledge of future events pales in comparison!
Interesting discussion.
I'm not a religious man although I do sense a greater purpose behind the most obvious in most everything I study, including history.
In my short six decades I have looked back into the past and discovered the same fears ans worry espoused dozens if not hundreds of times, and yet we somehow muddle through as a human race.
Although peoples of various faiths and heritage have come and gone, sometimes violently, and often with a whisper, I see no reason to think that this time is any more dangerous then the 50s and sixties or various other moments of potential upheavals or change.
I share the feelings of most in that I am prepared for anything that may come. It is something that I do as part of my duties as a husband and father to protect my family and property. In other words I am prepared to use force if necessary to protect what is mine, including my Constitution against all enemies, foreign or domestic. I took that oath long ago as so many of us have.
Knowing this, and that there are so many of us in these United States should give one at least some solace whenever we are threatened from without or from within.
I'm not saying there could not be some fire and rain, but I do think that logically there will be a shining city on the hill when it has passed by and the quiet returns. History is replete with these repetitions.
YES Julia ,
LOOK AT THE NEXT POST I PUT UP IT SPEAKS OF EXACTLY WHAT YOU JUST SPOKE , AMEN !
Good will use everything to point to him and it should point to God ! \o/
Amen nothing really matters at all except Jesus and the Father’s will being done on earth as it is in heaven
Expand the kingdom !
Every generation thinks that it is living in the Last Days and that destruction is just around the corner. I would be more alarmed if prophesies of doom ceased. Every prophesy of the world’s end since Noah has been wrong; however, that doesn’t seem to matter to many people. They see signs of the End Times in everything. We should live everyday as if it were the last day. If we do that, we have nothing to worry about.
Isn’t it amazing how The Lord will speak through our very own kids and if we listen closely and humbly enough we receive a beautiful blessing wrapped in our children’s hearts from it \o/ Oh taste and see that the Lord is good !
Jed - no one shall add to Revelations.
Whether or not these are end times, no one knows, nor can say for sure.
What I *do* feel is that danger is coming, however, I have no fear for myself or my house.
It may be that difficult times to follow will help others to find their path to righteousness and faith.
The word that comes to my mind is acceleration !
Jed - you’re going to have to link me to what you are talking about.
The next post?
My mom and I are Christians of the Dee Jepsen variety.
All we need to know is that we need not fear.
I agree. It may not happen for decades. I believe things WILL happen to bring people closer to God. For instance, here in flyover country....no matter what polls say, churches are filling.
If you are prepared to meet your Lord, there’s no worry.
did you know that His voice is the silent conscience? 6od does not use the same method to communicate with us as satan does, ie...word thoughts and imaginations. If He did, we could never trully find him as we would get all mixed up with voices and thoughts in our heads. The fhu.com has the lost silent prayer skoken of in the bible. ...works wonderfully. The church has lost her way because she has lost true prayer, the very pathway to 6od.
Wow that was intense and I drank it all up thank you for that word !
Yes I understand your point completely and this is actually pointing and speaking of his chosen ones and obedient ones walking in grace during all this depending on our level of suffering , we must not forget those that sit under the throne “ The martyrs and those to be maryred even now in this age but still their is his grace for each and his will to be done evne through it all !
try reading Hebrews 12 slowly all the way through and rememeber when it mentions the Church of the firstborn that this is Jesus because in colossians it says he is the firstborn of all creation !
It says we HAVE arrived so if you understand it and walk in the mind of Christ not man or history he releases the understanding missing to enter into this “ Zion “ even now on earth ! \o/
You said no one shall add to revelations but read Isaiah 47 and 48 and hear what God is saying about that .
Isaiah 48:6-11 (New King James Version)
6 “ You have heard;
See all this.
And will you not declare it?
I have made you hear new things from this time,
Even hidden things, and you did not know them.
7 They are created now and not from the beginning;
And before this day you have not heard them,
Lest you should say, ‘Of course I knew them.’
8 Surely you did not hear,
Surely you did not know;
Surely from long ago your ear was not opened.
For I knew that you would deal very treacherously,
And were called a transgressor from the womb.
9 “ For My name’s sake I will defer My anger,
And for My praise I will restrain it from you,
So that I do not cut you off.
10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver;
I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
11 For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it;
For how should My name be profaned?
And I will not give My glory to another.
in exodus God spoke audibly to his people and face to face to moses and aaron and Miriam in Numbers 12 , to Gideon and to many more and to you today if you let him . He said my sheep hear my voice not just his thoughts !
He is talking about not denying God and the end times. It’s clear there.
We cannot say we know the end times are around the corner...
it can be a small thing happening that will lead to it...but it could be far off... we don’t know.
I do believe we will see tribulations, but 9/11 was a tribulation...
Yes I understand but check this out ,
Amos 3:6-8
6 When a trumpet sounds in a city,
do not the people tremble?
When disaster comes to a city,
has not the LORD caused it?
7 Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing
without revealing his plan
to his servants the prophets.
8 The lion has roared—
who will not fear?
The Sovereign LORD has spoken—
who can but prophesy?
