Your Welcome! Your Up. I just got up from sleep at 3:30 could not go back to sleep! Thanks for Post. I first saw John Mcternan on sky angel last year. I have been following his blog posts since.
My Thanksgiving was good- every year I vow that we're going to go out instead of staying home but I ended up cooking this year because we had family come home. I like to cook except when I don't. But next year, I vow, we will go out. We will, we will, we will.
Christmas this year will be kind of quiet I think. One of my sons, who was able to get time off for Thanksgiving, won't be able to come home for Christmas which is very sad for me. But we don't have any little ones, and we'll probably spend the day with my parents, and I'll probably end up cooking again....
I'd love to see your little brother when he gets the train set! Is he a train fanatic? I know so many little boys are. It'll be a precious moment for you and your family.
Have you ever seen this?
I meant to ping you to this thread....
what can you do? Jesus is the end of prophecy.
True.
Though sometimes it’s fun object lesson material . . .
Revelation 19:10
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
WHEN
The Perfect One, Jesus The Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords returns to overtly set up His perfect Kingdom,
THEN,
evidently, prophecy, knowledge as we have known it, tongues, as operant in the NT Church era/age/dispensation,
will be done away with, fall away as unnecessary, superceded by a more perfect way.
UNTIL THEN, as Scripture amply indicates, prophecies, dreams, visions will be increasing, particularly in this
END TIMES era/age/dispensation.
Old men will be dreaming prophetic dreams more as Scripture indicates.
There will be more prophetic visions, as Scripture indicates.
. . .
And, Christians around the world have been reporting exactly that with increasing frequency the last decade or 3.
I view any other construction on reality as irrational, UnBiblical, grossly heretical and too often, likely, eternally destructive to souls.
Do you still have handy the link on
100 proofs that these are the END TIMES?
Or something like that.
Might be worth posting every time some idiotic REPLACEMENTARIAN noise gets posted.
I know that feeling! :)
we'll probably spend the day with my parents, and I'll probably end up cooking again....
I bet your cooking is good too! What is your favorite dish to make?
Is he a train fanatic?
He sure is! It all started when he got exposed to Thomas the train shows with some friends. Now, even though he is only two, he knows the names of many train parts, including the cab, funnel, dome, buffers, and etc.
I see those who differ on Israel are posting here as on other threads, same argument's as well. Does seem nothing will change either side of the equation of who Israel is and their place past, present and future. However it is more than difficult, from just the perspective of the scriptures as a whole, that someone cannot see Israel woven throughout all the way thru Revelations...and all Gods promises to them...conditional and those which are not.
As I see it God knows those who are truly His within the Christian community, and those who are not. Equally so those of Israel who are truly Jewish and what determines this in His eyes, not mans, and those who are not. Splitting hairs only creates divisions and uncertainty. What is interesting are many who now debate about who Israel is generally understood clearly Israels position thru the ages and ages to come....but then took another road along the way...................... But in the end we all will bow before our Christ Jesus.....some will bow by faith others by force but all will bow before the Christ when all is said and done..
AMEN! The sum total of prophecy all points to Christ.
Men need to thank God they have been born after the death and resurrection of Christ which is the very reason for everything in this life.
All history leads up to the cross and all future leads from the cross. We are in the clean-up stage as the word of God goes forth and prospers in all who hear it.
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead." -- Acts 17:29-31 "Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
"All men" given assurance by the resurrection. "All one in Christ Jesus."
Anything that passes for The Truth® from the futurist camp is purely accidental.
The problem here is that most folks in the futurist camp are unwilling to admit the strong possibility that what we know of Israel in the Bible has little if anything to do with the secular state in the present Middle East that happens to go by the same name.
We see Israel just fine in the Bible. We do not see it in contemporary terms according to the imaginations of prophecy gurus.
A Biblical Outline of End-Time Events
And here are a couple of good places that organize everything that is happening:
Thanks thanks.
Will get to them when I get home, hopefully.
Thank you for the ping. Bookmarking this for a later read. :)
Saying it is a "possibility" is rather revealing topcat...as I do see the present state of Israel as Israel...be it nation, race or religion, however one wants to name it...and that Jerusalem within Israel is also the biblical Jerusalem just as Israel is. They are no more secular than many Christians who claim Christianity.
We know some of Gods promises were conditional and others were not. The land will indeed be theirs...all in Gods timing. God is more than capable of distinguishing the Jewish people topcat....just as He is those who are Christians and claim Christianity.
I do not see Israel AS the Law...rather a nation who was GIVEN the Law. They broke them as surely as we do. In fact we as so called Christians in our nation are going down the same path Israel did in turning our backs on God.
However when it comes to Israel recognizing Christ as their Messiah...and they will, (debated and gone over in prior threads), I do not see God excluding them as a nation though they are blinded now until the fullness of the gentiles is in. Were it not for them we would not have Christ at all. He will not abandon them anymore than he did in the past and has always brought out those who seek Him by faith.....and one day their faith will indeed be in Christ.
There are far too many scriptures which refer to the Israels position before God throughout the Bible to somehow even suggest He will cast them off completely.. Anymore than he would cast believers off from the promises of salvation he has given us, which we have for the blindness Israel has currently. Just as we ourselves, as Christians now, were formally blind to the gospel. God has determined when their blindness will be removed and they too will see.
.....After all none of us Gentiles, who are Christians now, were looking for a Messiah at all....how much moreso then will the Jewish people recognize Christ when their blindness is removed, because they are looking for their Messiah. Christ Himself is Jewish...why would He deny Himself?
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony, dear brother in Christ!
