We Can See It Coming
RR ^ | 2/14/21 | Daymond Duck

Posted on 02/14/2021 10:01:18 AM PST by Roman_War_Criminal

I am an optimist because:

I believe Christians will soon see Jesus, see many of those that wrote the Bible, see multitudes of angels, etc. I believe Christians’ saved loved ones will soon be raised from the dead, and we will see them (I will soon see my deceased wife, and she will have a new body that will never get sick or die). I believe there is a good possibility that many Christians could go to heaven without getting sick, dying, having to be buried, etc. I believe the gates of Hell will not prevail against the Church, Christians will not go through one minute of the Tribulation Period, Christians will not be on earth when the persecution gets unbearable, Christians will not have to deal with the Mark of the Beast, etc. I believe the gospel will soon go all over the world, multitudes will soon be saved, all Israel will soon be saved, etc. I believe Jesus redeemed this Creation at the same time He redeemed a people on the cross, and the mess this world is in is temporary because Jesus will take this Creation back during the Tribulation Period. I believe there will soon be 1,000 years of peace, justice, and righteousness on earth, Jesus will be worshipped all over the globe, many Christians will have a crown of righteousness for loving His appearing, and Christians will come back to live and reign with Jesus here on this earth for 1,000 years. I refuse to ignore or be in denial about the signs, and I refuse to be pessimistic about the condition of the world because this world is not the Christian’s home, and we win. Finally, I am optimistic because I believe God’s promises, know that He said we can see the day approaching, know that many great prophecy teachers agree that we see the day approaching, and I know that we have much to rejoice about. Here are some reasons why I believe we see the Second Coming approaching:

One, concerning potential corruption in the White House and at the U.S. Dept. of Justice (DOJ): on Feb. 2, 2021, it was reported that Pres. Biden’s pick to run the DOJ’s Criminal Division and one of Hunter Biden’s new Criminal Defense Attorneys are from the same law firm.

Two, concerning a peace treaty in the Middle East: on Feb. 4, 2021, it was reported that UN Sec. Gen. Guterres wants to restart the Middle East Peace Process in the UN Quartet (US, EU, Russia, and UN) meetings.

Guterres thinks the meetings could succeed in producing a peace treaty because Biden “supports a two-state solution between Israel and the PA and will overturn several decisions made under his predecessor, Donald Trump.”

Guterres thinks Trump’s decisions need to be overturned because the Palestinians want a capital in East Jerusalem, plus they want Gaza and all the territory that Israel captured from Jordan in 1967.

Based on Scripture, this writer believes these people are just begging for the judgment of God to fall on this world, and they will come to regret what they are doing.

Three, concerning Jerusalem: on Feb. 4, 2021, the U.S. Senate added a resolution to the Covid stimulus bill that affirmed America’s intention to permanently keep the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.

Biden’s administration said it does not intend to move the U.S. embassy, but they support a capital for the Palestinians in East Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is a cup of trembling and burdensome stone for the whole world.

Four, also concerning Jerusalem: on Feb. 1, 2021, Kosovo established diplomatic ties with Israel.

Kosovo recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, and Israel recognized Kosovo’s independence from Serbia.

The next day, the Arab Parliament condemned the decision and urged Kosovo to reverse it, but that is not likely to happen.

Five, concerning Covid vaccinations: on Feb. 5, 2021, LifeSiteNews.com reported that U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data shows that between Dec. 14, 2020, and Jan. 29, 2021:

35 million people have received one or both shots. There have been 501 reported deaths (453 in the U.S.). There have been 10,748 reported adverse events (sent to doctor; admitted to hospital; permanently disabled, etc.). The average age of those that died was 77, and the youngest person to die was 23. In addition to the above, 139 cases of facial distortion and 13 miscarriages have been reported. In addition to the above, know that on Feb. 8, 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) said the current vaccines may not work on new strains of Covid that already exist.

People may need a different kind of vaccine.

Six, concerning pestilence in Israel: on Feb. 5, 2021, Joel Rosenberg, Editor-in-Chief of All Israel News, correctly pointed out that II Chron. 7:12-14 is God’s promise to heal and forgive Israel in the days of drought, famine, plague, etc., in response to the Israelis humbling themselves, praying and seeking Him.

Rosenberg noted that Israel’s Covid lockdown has not saved Israel, but God can.

Rosenberg asked Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu, Pres. Rivlin, and the entire Israeli Knesset to publicly call for a National Day of Prayer based upon God’s promise in II Chron. 7:14.

Based on Scripture (Jer. 18:8), Rosenberg concluded that it is not wrong for other nations to follow God’s instructions in II Chron. 7:12-14.

At the time of this writing, this writer has not seen a response from Israel’s officials.

Seven, also on Feb. 5, 2021, researchers at an Israeli hospital said they have possibly developed a drug that may cure serious cases of Covid.

30 patients with moderate to severe cases of Covid inhaled the medicine for a few minutes once a day for 5 days, and 29 showed definite improvement in just two days (they were released from the hospital 3 to 5 days later).

More tests are planned, but the hospital believes their discovery is a game-changer.

Eight, concerning world government and open borders: on Feb. 1, 2021, U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested 11 Iranian citizens (6 men and 5 women) when they illegally entered Arizona from Mexico.

Three more Iranians were caught at this same location earlier this year, and others have been caught crossing at other places in the U.S. this year.

Open borders increase the chance of terrorist attacks in the U.S.

Nine, concerning world government and world religion: on Jan. 29, 2021, German Cardinal Gerhard Muller warned that Western capitalists, big-tech giants, and China are forming a dangerous alliance to control what people think, say, and do for the purpose of ruling the world.

Cardinal Muller warned:

That the World Economic Forum (WEF) is using Covid to call for a Great Reset to change the values (sounds like a one-world religion) and subjugate (sounds like a one-world government) the lives of everyone on earth. That this effort to control what everyone on earth thinks, says, and does is a deliberate action, not an innocent endeavor or a conspiracy theory. That Biden is now leading a campaign to “de-Christianize” the Western world (by pushing the Great Reset, promoting abortion, the gay agenda, etc.). He urged Christians not to participate actively or passively in this growing evil.

Ten, on Feb. 5, 2021, it was reported that the U.S. Federal Reserve is working with a group of international central banks (in England, France, Japan, China, Canada, Dubai, Switzerland, etc.) to push the Green Agenda, the Great Reset, the Paris Climate Change accords, the UN 2030 Sustainable Development goals, the world’s economic systems, the world’s depopulation goals, etc.

As I understand what they intend to do, any government, business or individual that wants to borrow money, apply for a grant, receive a stimulus package, etc., will have to commit to the globalist agenda, or they will not get it.

Put another way, people will have to support the globalist agenda to qualify for a loan, grant, etc. (they must submit to qualify, or they will be rejected).

This is not far-fetched. Tucker Carlson recently reported that Bank of America gave credit card information to the FBI on people that purchased items (T-shirts, weapons or weapons-related items, hotel rooms, etc.) in Washington D.C, Maryland, or Virginia on Jan. 5 or 6, 2021 (the day of the capitol takeover).

Eleven, concerning the coming economic collapse and famine: on Feb. 4, 2021, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. wrote an article for Technocracy News & Trends that said global lockdowns have:

Bankrupted 100,000 businesses in the U.S. Impoverished one billion people worldwide. Threatened the food supply of one billion people worldwide. Twelve, concerning persecution: on Feb. 3, 2021, it was reported that a proposed law in Denmark will require all sermons not preached in Danish to be translated into the Danish language and submitted to the government in writing.

Religious groups are protesting this law and expressing concern that approval in Denmark could trigger similar laws in other nations.

The bill is not clear, but religious groups also fear that they will have to submit their sermons to the government for approval before the sermons can be preached.

Thirteen, concerning gun control and world government: on Feb. 1, 2021, it was reported that a bill called H.R. 127 has been introduced in Congress (on Jan. 4, 2021) to track the make, model, and serial number of all firearms, who owns the firearm, the date each firearm was acquired, and where the firearm is being stored; it applies retroactively, and it covers firearms that a person has owned for a long time.

Those that already own firearms will be required to take a psychological evaluation, be subjected to a criminal background check, and their spouse and at least two family members or associates must be interviewed by a licensed psychologist.

Congress has not yet voted on the bill, but it is important to understand that Biden has promised gun control legislation, and many politicians want to disarm America before they surrender the sovereignty of the U.S. to the UN.

Gun sales have broken all records since this bill was introduced.

Finally, if you want to go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). 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.

Ever since you wrote about you coming out of the closet.

I read your post about the code of Phil’s closet.

I think.

Is that the one about Ellen g white saying Jesus is not God?

Or the one about the seventh day Adventist belief that Africans are, according to your proohetess Ellen half human and half animal?

You saw visions with your Adventist tin foil hat that you purchased from alohahaha.net?

Does it have Ellen’s injunctions to you Adventists to not miscegenate?

Something I've noticed about you for some time is that when you feel threatened, you start calling people names and mocking them (you also lie a lot). It seems that you have lots of pet names for me. It doesn't bother me one bit. I just laugh, like I would laugh at a clown.

I do have a question, though. Why did you pick "Cronos" as your tag? You do realize that Cronos was the son of Uranus?

Maybe you think that by belittling and mocking people, instead of answering their questions and comments honestly, you will silence their criticism, and others who read your posts will start believing you?

It’s not working.

Mocking you? No. I’m mocking your Adventist beliefs that YOU stated with your helpful links that

1. Adventist dogma is that some races are descended from sexual union of humans and animals

Ellen g white wrote

“Every species of animal which God had created were preserved in the ark. The confused species which God did not create, which were the result of amalgamation, were destroyed by the flood. Since the flood there has been amalgamation of man and beast, as may be seen in the almost endless varieties of species of animals, and in certain races of men.” (Spiritual Gifts, Vol. 3, p.75)

2. Adventist belief is that Jesus is not God.

Ellen g white wrote

“The man Christ Jesus was not the Lord God Almighty.” (Letter 32, 1999, quoted in the Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Vol. 5, p.1129).

3. Adventist belief is that Satan took on the sins of the world.

“It was seen, also, that while the sin offering pointed to Christ as a sacrifice, and the high priest represented Christ as a mediator, the scapegoat typified Satan, the author of sin, upon whom the sins of the truly penitent will finally be placed. Christ will place all these sins upon Satan, … so Satan, …will at last suffer the full penalty of sin.” (Great Controversy, p.422,485,486)

No one would mock you, Phil. You just told us that “every time I listen to Crone I get diarrhea” in any case as you told us you don’t believe that you’re going to Heaven when you die, right? The Adventist belief is that folks get to heaven only AFTER the Second coming. Isn’t that right?

Tye code of Phil’s closet? Your story about coming out of your closet was strange.

The bit about Ellen calling certain races as mixed human animals was en par wack-a-doodle with your belief that Satan took on the sins of the world.

How often do you read your proohetess writings?

Did Lazarus go to heaven when he died?

The bible is very clear that when you die you wait in the grave for the first or second resurrection, depending on if you are saved or not.

Lazarus first died before the resurrection.

Yet you Adventists believe that even after Jesus told the criminal he would be in heaven, you Adventists believe that you don’t go to heaven until the second coming.

That’s when you believe that the angel Michael who you think is Jesus, will come for you and there is no hell?

Lazarus first died before the resurrection.

Christ brought him back to life. Lazarus wasn’t in heaven. He was dead. “He stinketh” Dead and starting to rot. I have no doubt that he lived a normal life after that and then peacefully died (again), waiting for the resurrection unto life.

And that was before Jesus Christ (whom we Christian’s see a God while you Adventists see as the angle Michael) was resurrected.

After the resurrection the gates of heaven are opened.

But you say you Adventists believe you will be made living rotten corpses? Shaun of the dead?

Job

14:10 But man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last and is no more.

14:11 As water disappears from the sea or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,

14:12 so man lies down and does not rise; till the heavens are no more, men will not awake or be roused from their sleep.

“For David did not ascend into the heavens” (Acts 2:34); “Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre [tomb] is with us unto this day” (Acts 2:29)

"The apostle Peter plainly stated that David did not ascend into the heavens yet. The Bible teaches that righteous people don’t receive their rewards at death but at the second coming of the Lord when dead will be raised. “For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then, He will reward each according to his works” (Matthew 16:27). And in Revelation it says, “Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be” (Revelation 22:12)."

"After death a person: returns to dust (Psalms 104:29), knows nothing (Ecclesiastes 9:5), possesses no mental powers (Psalms 146:4), has nothing to do with anything on earth (Ecclesiastes 9:6), does not live (2 Kings 20:1), waits in the grave (Job 17:13), and continues not (Job 14:1, 2)."

"For this reason, the Bible says that “David did not ascend into the heavens.” King David is sleeping in the grave awaiting the resurrection. Jesus called the unconscious state of the dead “sleep” in John 11:11-14. The dead will sleep until the great day of the Lord at the end of the world (Job 14:12)." The biblical teaching on death could not be any more clear than it is.

Wrong again...

http://aloha.net/~mikesch/hell.htm

The Thief on the Cross

Wait, you say, Jesus told the thief on the cross that He would be with him that day in paradise!

Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

The punctuation has been supplied in the translation and is not present in the original texts, let me just move one comma-

Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee To day, shalt thou be with me in paradise.

In English that sounds stilted and awkward. It would be properly interpreted as-

Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee today, thou shalt be with me in paradise.

It is a promise that the thief will see paradise, but it was not a promise to be fulfilled that day. But that is unfair, you say. It is not what the Bible means. You are twisting it to make it fit your own premise. Look at the following verse from John-

John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Here Jesus is very clearly telling Mary Magdalene that he has not yet ascended to heaven, and this was said on Sunday! So He could not possibly have ascended to heaven with the thief on Friday afternoon. Jesus had spent the entire Sabbath at rest, asleep in death in the tomb, to be resurrected on Sunday morning by His Father in a triumphal victory over death.
