One, following the signing of the normalization agreement between the UAE and Israel, it was reported that the U.S. will sell F-35 stealth jets to the UAE.
Critics contend that this will endanger Israel by reducing its military edge over its enemies.
It has been reported that the U.S. has not signed an agreement to sell the jets to the UAE, but there is a plan to sign an agreement with the UAE on Dec. 2, 2020.
It is impossible to predict what will be in that agreement, but because the U.S. has signed contracts to sell the F-35 Jets to other nations (Israel and Poland), the U.S. expects it to take a 6-7 years to get the UAE planes off the production lines.
The idea of a potential agreement tied to a peace treaty with a 7-year timetable is stirring speculation about the future 7-year covenant with many.
Two, concerning world government, on Sept. 22, 2020, French Pres. Macron told the UN General Assembly that France wants “a new era of globalization.”
He said, “We must together lay the foundations for a fairer, more balanced, more equitable, more sustainable globalization.”
Three, On Sept. 23, 2020, Roman Catholic Archbishop Carlo Vigano offered a letter to the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast that said the outcome of the presidential elections in November “will be decisive not only for the United States of America but for the whole world.”
The Archbishop believes the election is a war between American citizens and the demonic forces of the deep state and against the New World Order” (world government; people like French Pres. Macron; Henry Kissinger and George Soros).
Four, last week my article mentioned that Elon Musk has been authorized to put 12,000 satellites (and he wants to up it to 40,000) into orbit to make high-speed Internet and TV service available everywhere on earth.
The article pointed out that this will allow the Antichrist and False Prophet to track all buying and selling, for everyone on earth to see the bodies of the Two Witnesses laying in the street and to see them raised from the dead (Rev. 11).
An astute reader reminded me that this will also allow everyone on earth to see the Second Coming of Jesus (Rev. 1:7).
The writer said, “As I understand it, global satellite internet access will be available in the US to the northern states this year, and it will be available globally by 2025.”
Here is a link to some interesting information about these satellite launches.

Five, Amazon has installed hand scanners at two of its Seattle, WA. stores that reads palms, lets people enter, and allows customers to buy products by scanning their hand.
Amazon believes their hand scan technology will allow people to make purchases in other places, and they expect to install scanners at some of their other stores in the coming months.
Six, on Sept. 24, 2020, it was reported that Arab contributions to the PA have been zero since March and foreign aid contributions have been half of what they were last year.
Overall, Arab gifts and Foreign Aid to the PA are down 85%.
The PA is borrowing money and seeking funding from other sources.
This could ultimately lead to war and/or the worthless 7-year covenant.
Seven, concerning the days of Noah (specifically wickedness or lawlessness), on Sept. 20, 2020, US Att. Gen. William Barr designated NY City, Portland, Ore. and Seattle, Wash. as “Anarchist Jurisdictions” that will lose federal funding for impeding law enforcement, defunding the police, tolerating violence, endangering innocent citizens, etc.
These cities are expected to fight this in court.
Eight, on Sept. 22, 2020, it was reported that billionaire Michael Bloomberg, former candidate for the Democrat nomination for Pres. of the U.S., is likely to be the subject of a potential criminal investigation for paying the fines and restitutions of about 32,000 felons who are mostly black in Florida so they can vote in the upcoming election.
Data shows that 90-95% of the black voters in Florida vote for Democrats, and there is concern that Bloomberg has raised more than $16 million to illegally buy black votes in Florida.
Bloomberg is calling this a political ploy.
This comes on top of earlier reports that NY Democrat Mayor de Blasio’s daughter was arrested with people that rioted there and that 13 members of Democrat Pres. nominee Joe Biden’s staff took up an offering to bail out protesters.
It has also been reported that Chelsea Clinton Mezvinsky (Bill and Hillary’s daughter) has bragged about bailing out protesters.
And in the late of night on Sept. 24, 2020, 24 people, including Democrat State Representative Attica Scott, were arrested in Louisville, Ky (where 2 police were shot) for unlawful assembly, failure to disperse, and rioting in the first degree by allegedly breaking windows, damaging busses and trying to set fires.
At least one bailed out criminal is already being accused of committing murder.
If our nation elects leaders that tolerate or participate in illegal or corrupt activity, our nation will reap the consequences of their leadership.
Nine, on Sept. 23, 2020, two U.S. Senate committees (the Homeland Security Committee and the Senate Finance Committee) issued a joint report titled “Hunter Biden, Burisma and Corruption.”
The most damning evidence came from the files of Pres. Obama, Vice-Pres Joe Biden, the U.S. Treasury Dept., and e-mails sent by John Kerry whose stepson was one of Hunter Biden’s business partners.
According to the report, Hunter Biden and another business partner, Devon Archer, received more than $4 million dollars from a corrupt energy company in Ukraine named Burisma – plus Biden, his family and Archer received millions more from foreign nationals of questionable character.
The report shows potential criminal activity; possible ties to sex-traffickers and Russians; silencing of concerned government officials; a major coverup by Obama, Biden, and Kerry; and that the House impeachment of Pres. Trump and charges of Russian collusion were part of the effort to keep this information from the public.
It has been reported that these things are in addition to Biden’s China connections, this was just a partial report, and more is coming.
Ten, Los Angeles, County Cal. is trying to send Dr. John MacArthur to prison on contempt of court charges for defying an order to limit worship services at Grace Community Church.
The judge presiding over the case has ruled that the case can go to trial.
This could well wind up in the U.S. Supreme Court, and the beliefs of the U.S. Supreme Court Judges and the importance of the U.S. Constitution could very well impact religious freedom in the U.S.
Eleven, Pres. Trump has nominated Amy Coney Barrett to replace justice Ginsburg on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Barrett has a long history of supporting the U.S. Constitution.
Democrats are calling her a threat to the U.S.
As far as I am concerned, Amy Coney Barrett is not the real threat to the U.S.
The real threat to the U.S. includes trying to remove all mentions of God from our society; trying to lockdown churches; trying to force the LGBTQ agenda on everyone; abortion; bailing arsonists, looters and killers out of jail; defunding the police; including the Muslim terrorist group CAIR in the U.S. government (as Obama and Biden did and Biden seems to be supporting again); disarming U.S. citizens; transforming the U.S. into a socialist nation; surrendering the sovereignty of the U.S. to a world government and an anti-Christ world religion; and more.
I expect things to get worse by the day as the Tribulation Period nears, but it never occurred to me that politicians would openly support things like this.
There is no doubt that we are getting closer to the Rapture by the day.
God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin born, sinless Son of God, who died for the sins of the world, was buried and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
Read it more specifically: For 1)the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, 2) with the voice of the archangel and 3) with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air
There is a reason Paul have all three points; the Lord comes in the air to gather the redeemed in new real physical glorified bodies, so God brings with Lord Christ the spirits of those who have fallen asleep, so they can get their new glorifies bodies. And we who are alive at that event will be changed, in the twinkling of an eye, and together with the newly raised to their glorified bodies we will all be gathered into the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
Here is what The Spirit has given me on this three step event: the shout is related to the way Jesus brought Lazarus from the dead; the Archangel's voice cleanses the first Heaven as all the redeemed are given new glorified bodies, and the Trumpet is the last sound the Body of Christ hears which whisks them away into the clouds to meet the Lord there in the first Heaven. The voice of the Angel cleanses the electromagnetic filth and stops all satellite activity.
As Paul was shown, there are three Heavens, the atmosphere and beyond into 'empty' space is the first heaven, the throne room of God is the Third Heaven. Currently, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, in spirit, in the Third or Second Heaven. Perhaps it is that those who have had near death experiences have gotten a glimpse of the Second Heaven where spirits of the redeemed are with the Lord.
The four and twenty elders are a category identity, as shown in 1 Chronicles when David established a 'four and twenty elders' category from which temple priests woiuld be drawn in rotation to serve in the Temple. Yje term 'four and twenty elders' referred to a large number of individuals withion the named familes from which Temple piriests would be rotated to serve in the Temple. The redeemed are assigned 'priests and kings' to serve on the Earth in glorified bodies during the millennium reign of Christ.
You would do well to read the #43 post of metmom’s excellent explanation regarding the blood.
BTW, 11Thess2:3 was translated The Departure in the several first English translations from the Greek. apostasy can be translated as a physical departure, such as watching a ship ‘depart’ over the horizon. Google Andy Woods, 11Thess 2:3a for a thorough explanation. He has also published a little book, The Falling Away: Spiritual departure or Physical departure, which no less than Arnold Fruchtenbaum has referenced to embrace ‘The Departure’ (in the Greek, the article ‘the’ is significant) as a physical event. And since The Redeemed are in Heaven as witnesses to the opening of the seven seals, a pre=trib Departure is evident.
"And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (Lk. 6:46 AV).
Just believing that He exits will not get you to salvation. What is saving is knowing that after you have received the gift of eternal life, your good works will then please God, prove it, and glorify God.
Works don’t save. They never have, never will.
There are a dozen verses at least that prove that.
And your statement makes no sense...
“What is SAVING is knowing that AFTER you have RECEIVED the GIFT of ETERNAL LIFE...”
If I’ve already received it why do I need to be saved again with good works? Huh?
You catholics effortlessly interpret Scripture into fairy tales and send billions to hell believing those fairy tales.
Are you going to use “extra-canon” and “church history” as references now?
Rosaries? Scapulars? Vials of Mary’s so-called ‘blood’?
Idol worship? Icon worship?
Tired arguments indeed.
I’m washing my hands of you at this point. Enjoy your eternity - I know I will.
Proverbs 23:9
Proverbs 26:4
Matthew 7:6
The spirits of those who are members of the Body of Christ Believers, who have died, will be coming with Jesus, getting brand new bodies on the Earth and then snatched away, bodies able to do the things Jesus did after His resurrection, like enter a six sided room without using a door or window.
The passage in 1 Thessalonians 4 says not a thing about Jesus coming down to the Earth. We go up, and meet the Lord in the air in our new glorified bodies.
In the Revelation of John, we see Jesus coming down to touch the earth at the mount of Olives, splitting it in half, to end the time of Jacob's Troubles.
There are two distinct events, one before the Tribulation and the other at the end of the Tribulation. We who are the redeemed are snatched away into the clouds to meet the Lord in the air then return with Him to The Father's House. We the redeemed are in Heaven witnessing the opening of the seven sealed scroll which begins the Tribulation, the Time of Jacob's Troubles.
After the Tribulation years are done we return to the Earth with The Lord Christ for the millennial reign of Christ. There will be a massive clean-up, to deal with the millions who came against Israel and GOD destroys them and their weaponry becomes useless. But the redeemed are not here on the Earth during the Tribulation.
You misread it, then mistook it. After you are saved, you will be expected to take care--as His child-overseer--of as much of His earthly estate as He has put you in charge of (symbolically as "talents"). And that means right away.
. Any "works" one does as a child of the god of this world before being saved will not get you saved, no matter how "good" you think they are. For instance:
"The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight" (Prov. 15:8 AV).
Nor will merely acknowledging that Jesus exists--the Devil does that.
What turns some people away from yielding to Jesus as one's Savior and Master is realizing that subsequent to becoming saved and the servant of Jesus as Lord and Christ (meaning Anointed which is the ritual effecting one's Kingship), it is well known that you will be expected to follow His commands that engage one in good works, done willingly, and rewarded with extra benefits at the Bema Seat of Christ.
Those who are unwilling to change their behavior and cease from a life of sinning cannot be saved. It takes a godly sorrow unto repentance (change of mind) and unreserved committed loyalty to Jesus (change of ownership) wherein will come a subsequent mode of behavior (change of occupation) to be a candidate slated for heaven (change of eternal residence) to the person who has been living under God's condemnation and suffering for it.
Good works follow salvation (under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and one's spiritually mature leaders in the assembly). Nothing previously done can purchase it (when one is without the Spirit, disobedient to God, slated for Hell if one's way of thinking is not changed). Turning to God from sin is repentance, one side of the coin whose other side is totally convinced and convicted belif th Christ.
That is why He gathered together His unregenerated disciples (they had no indwelling holy Spirit before their Pentecostal experience)and scolded them:
"And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"
But after he was resurrected and while walking with them, just before He ascended away to Heaven He set out what they were to be doing in the future after the coming of the Spirit:
"Teaching them(the disciple-servants they have recruited) to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: . . ." (Mt. 28:20a AV).
There are some 50 well-defined commands from Jesus, and a lot more from Peter and Paul and John and Jude. Many, like the just-mentioned one, involve doing good works. Not to do then may involve chastening, but most certainly not loss of one's place in God's heaver. But you may be shy of a nice couch or luxury vehicle there. The chastening may even bring an early departure from earth than the Heavenly Father originally intended:
"Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself? Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all" (Eccl. 7:16-18 AV).
There may not be a swimming pool, and the rooms may be kind of bare, but you'll still have a mansion there, and not swimming in the Lake of Fire. And you'll have lots of good companions. one of them being Jesus. And The Father will not be far away, either. Eh?
You mean prove it to you...We don't need to prove it to God...He already knows...He knows our heart...I'd like to see a list of those good works some of y'all refer to...
The Bema Seat Judgment is for Christians only...No one at that judgment goes to hell...
How do you determine if you've done enough works...To which judgment will you go to find out???
So let's make it clear -- this is NOT a distinct "place" separate from heaven and hell. It is the final stage of purification before we enter heaven.
Well explain to us what happens to a Catholic when he/she dies...Does this purification take place in the casket, six feet under??? I've read as well that heaven in the Catholic mind is a state of being, not a place...If it's a state of being, you then are not dead, when you are dead...So where does the undead, dead Catholic reside??? Is it in the dead mind of the dead Catholic???
Or is it just a mystery you're not supposed to question???
Paul wrote ‘all’ will be changed in a twinkling of the eye... this age of flesh bodies is over... again, if Christ is returning to this earth, why do some want to leave Him? Where are you going?
The passage in 1 Thessalonians 4 says not a thing about Jesus coming down to the Earth. We go up, and meet the Lord in the air in our new glorified bodies.
Earth has an atmosphere of air. This is what Paul means when he says Jesus comes down to the earth from heaven, as opposed to touching the earth as I think you mean. Then we meet Him in the air and go back to heaven for 1000 years.

1 Thess 4: 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Same as in Matthew 24: SAME EVENT
30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
(clouds of angels)
And note that Jesus comes with his angels, because he is the Archangel, Michael (another name of Christ) as I showed you in the following article and in the posts I recently sent you, Cronos, and Elsie. Michael the Archangel is Jesus Christ.
As this study shows, according to scriptures, Jesus is the angel of the LORD, the angel of God, the angel of the covenant, the Archangel Michael, who appeared time and again in the Old Testament to speak directly to His people. Michael is just another title for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who is God in the flesh, the principle messenger of the gospel (archangel) to humanity, but He is not a created being.

Matthew 24 is not the Departure of THE CHURCH. You have all of this so thoroughly jumbled that I will not even try to sort you out. You are clueless and happy to be so.
Both events are the same.
Caught up in 1 Thess is the same as angels gathering the elect.
Both mention the sound of the trump of God
In both instances, it’s loud and all the angels are there.
It is the same event. It would be ridiculous to have another coming 7 years later after the first one. 1000 years later is another story and it’s also biblical truth. There is no pre trib rapture. There is only one event where Christ and his angels gather the elect and that is at his second coming.

Regardless, in the end it too will pass away and we will have the four last things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell.
“The seventh trumpet in the Revelation was not even known/revealed when Paul wrote to the Thessalonians.”
Paul DEFINITELY had some “inexpressible things” by astounding revelation. I wouldn’t presume to declare what things they were or weren’t.
“The scene revealed to John in the spirit, found in chapter five of The Revelation has The Redeemed from all nations, kindreds, tongues (that little clue says these are more than just Jews), those redeemed are in Heaven BEFORE the seven sealed scroll is even taken by the Lamb to be opened.”
No such gathering is present in Chapter 5; AFTER the scroll is taken by The Lamb, they do, however, become the subject of “a new song”:
______
When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying,
“Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. ...”
— Rev. 5:8 & 9
The reference to “men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation” magnificently reaffirms the scope of God’s forgiveness, which He wrought in Christ at The Cross. This connection to “the world” and “whosoever” of John 3:16 emphasizes what Paul articulates in 2 Cor. 5:19 “namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them.”
Firstly, it’s what happens when a Christian dies, and let’s start a little before that — we purify ourselves from sin as we are sinful creatures, even if we try hard. When we enter heaven we are sinless. We undergo the process of purification throughout our lives, yet at the point of death, even though we are heading to heaven, we have still some stain of sin. And heaven is not a place for sin. So what happens? We undergo the final stage in the process of purification - purgatory.
Think of it as the final scrub after you’ve been trying to get out of the quicksand that is sin and then washed, washed and washed.
The purification is not a place - but heaven is - and I’m not referencing the Belinda Carlisle song (dang, that IS a earworm!) - the ones redeemed by Christ’s sacrifices who have worked out their salvation through justification as Paul writes, they win their salvation and are IN heaven, the celestial paradise.
Now, if you believe in 72 virginians treating you after you’re dead, that’s your own problem, iscool :)
Btw, don’t you believe that God is modalist? IIRC, you, Iscool, don’t believe in the Trinity at all, right?
