What a horrifically EXPONENTIAL amazing time is just before us in which the world of today is absolutely oblivious to (1 Thess. 5:2-3). The Day of the Lord is at hand in which the godlessness, lawlessness and violence of man will reach its EXPONENTIAL zenith (2 Thess. 2:2:8-12, Rev. 6-19)! What is amazing is that the very world leaders we see today raging and conspiring against Israel and Almighty God's RIGHTEOUSNESS most likely will be the very ones who will give their power and authority to the upcoming beast (aka- Anti Christ - 2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 13, 17:12-17).
These present day world leaders may also be the very ones who - during the first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation period - will seek to destroy Israel and Israel's Divine protectors (the TWO Lamp Stands of Almighty God- Rev. 11:2-6). It will be at the end of Almighty God's Two Witnesses 3 1/2 year ministry that these world leaders will rejoice greatly in their new godless leader's (aka -the Anti Christ) assassination of Almighty God's indestructible Two Witness's temporal demise (Rev. 11:2-7). So VEXED, so TORMENTED, so ENRAGE will this war ravished world and their leaders be at Almighty God's Two Witnesses and their RIGHTEOUS message that when their 3 1/2 year ministry finally comes to and end (Rev. 11:7) the world and its leaders will REJOICE exceedingly and give their FULL allegiance to the risen Beast (Anti Christ) who will now DOMINATE the world stage for the last 3 1/2 years (2 Thess. 2:8-12, Rev. 11:7-14, Rev. 13, Rev. 17:13-17).
The "SUPER NATURAL" of this seven year period will be as common as the "non-super natural" of our day. MOSES and ELIJAH (the Two Witnesses) will zealously protect Israel, EVEN in Israel's unbelieving state (Ezek. 39:26, Rev. 11:9) from the world’s enraged nations and demonic legions (Rev. 9, 11:5-6). It is our personal belief that Moses and Elijah (Almighty God's Two Witnesses) will be used of Almighty G-d to bring about the massive destruction of Gog of the land of Magog and his Islamic confederacy and armies (Ezek. 38-39, Rev.11:5-6).
As the Two Witnesses of Almighty God's ravished bodies lay in the streets of Jerusalem for 3 1/2 days, the remaining world will EXCEEDINGLY rejoice and praise the Beast saying, "Who can make war with the beast? - Rev. 13:1-4)". However... the Two Witnesses greatest VICTORY is about to be seen! Can you imagine the glorious godless mood of the world at this time when these Two Men are finally disposed of? In the world's godless hearts and minds there is now no limit to what their godless imaginations will take them, for they TRULY believe that they have finally rid the world of Almighty God and His Two Witnesses (Gen.11:6, 2 Thess. 2:8-12, Rev. 11:10-13).
"And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven." Rev. 11:10-13
With Moses and Elijah's resuscitation and ascension in front of all their enemies into Almighty God's presence they have now WONDROUSLY confirmed and affirmed all of what they have stated for the last 3 1/2 years! All what they have stated WILL come to pass and the Devil himself can NEVER stop it (Dan. 43-44, 7:13-14, Rev. 11:15, 17:17, 19:11:21, 20:1-10)! What is most astounding and amazing about this future event is that the godless world leaders and their peoples at this time will NOT repent, but sell their souls to the Anti Christ and partake of the abomination which leads to ETERNAL desolation all the way to the Battle of Armageddon and ETERNAL Damnation (Zech.14:1-4, 2 Thess. 2:8-12, Rev. 14:9-11, 16:13-16, 19:11-21).
WOE, WOE, WOE.... to those in that Day!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
I love that verse. Those who think that believers will go through the tribulation need to memorize it.
Comparing Scripture with Scripture is lost on them. Bible study is about searching the Scriptures, comparing them, knowing who said what, when, and who they were speaking to or about, understanding that all the Bible is for our understanding, but it is not all for our doing today. We are to recognize the divisions and distinctions in GOd’s word that He Himself has placed there. But it is CRUCIAL to know where you are in God’s program as you study the Bible. Keeping the right Scriptures for the right time is essential. Just a small example would be to compare Matt. 6:14,15 with Eph. 4:32. Both are Scriptures from the NT. But they are DIFFERENT. WHICH is right for today?
and this one as well...
Psalm 27:5 "For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock"
Acts 15:8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness by granting them the holy Spirit just as he did us. 9 He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith he purified their hearts. It also clearly shows that not all will be given the gift of tongues or any other gift.
1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as He wills.
You see, not all are given the gift of tongues upon the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
LOL GMTA!
And those that don’t are subject to the erroneous teachings of those who don’t. The blind leading the blind. So much confusion is avoided when the word is rightly divided.
We have to remember to study the Gospels in the light of the cross and empty tomb. If we don’t we come to the conclusion Jesus came to earth to deliver Sinai 2.
It still IS pretty clear in my book.
It’s that using Scripture thing again......
I came across this teaching on tongues by RC Sproul while doing some research on the Word of Faith movement.
The Strange Fire Conference can be found here...

Here is also an interesting comment by an attendee...
A Pastor’s thoughts on *Strange Fire Conference*

Jews seek for a sign. We don't need a sign. We walk by faith.
I fail to find the word EVIDENCE mentioned in the Scriptures.
That's NOT how the Scripture reads...
NIV
Acts 2:4
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
KJV
Acts 2:4
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
since RCs refer to their magisterium as the alternative to private interpretation and its the errors, where is your denial of the regeneration of Cornelius and co. before baptism taught? And officially?
what’s the Latin expression for it speaks for itself?
I doubt it...
This along with “Paul was praying” shows the inner portion of the cup was clean before the outer portion of the cup was clean.
hmm, apparently the Lord sent Ananias to Paul to teach him false doctrine, knowing it would become part of the Scriptures. okey, dokey.
Water baptism is our “religious ceremony” or act of the Christian that is regarded as an outward and visible sign of inward and spiritual divine grace.
ok, finally someone puts in writing what they think baptism is. now, if only some Scripture was provided.
I don't know about GOD; but I've heard that NATURE abhors a vacuum.
And it HURTS a lot less than that OTHER sign.
The one required at eight days old.
Pastor Shane Idleman nailed it!!!! Thank you for posting that. He reflects my experience and belief perfectly.
You may have missed my post where the same Paul provides the Gospel message:
Romans 10:5-15 NASB
For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness. But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows: “D o not say in your heart , ‘W ho will ascend into heaven ?’ (that is, to bring Christ down), or ‘W ho will descend into the abyss ?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).” But what does it say? “T he word is near you , in your mouth and in your heart “-that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, “W hoever believes in H im will not be disappointed .” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “W hoever will call on the name of the L ord will be saved .” How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things !”
