13 Reasons Why It’s the Last Hour…: Pt 2

Not seven years apart...

Yup.

Look at the two successive harvests in Revelation 14. In verses 14-16 One Like a Son of Man seated on a cloud reaps the ripe harvest of the Earth.

Immediately, there is a second harvest; of grapes this time, and “the angel swung his sickle over the earth and gathered the grapes from the vineyard of the earth and tossed them into the great winepress of the wrath of God.”
Revelation 14:19 NET
https://bible.com/bible/107/rev.14.19.NET

Here in Rev. 14, all seven Seals, and all seven Trumpets are in the past. The grapes go into the winepress, and here comes chapter 16 and seven Bowls of Wrath. And the grapes are trodden down in great wrath, and we see, not a gentle Jesus in white all meek and mild, but a furious avenger in red, as Isaiah described him:

“Who is this who comes from Edom with dyed garments from Bozrah? This one who is glorious in His apparel, traveling in the greatness of His strength?

“It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”

“Why is Your apparel red, and Your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?”

“I have trodden the winepress alone; and from the peoples there was no one with Me. For I will tread them in My anger, and trample them in My fury, and their blood shall be sprinkled upon My garments, and I will stain all My raiment. For the day of vengeance is in My heart, and My year of redemption has come. I looked and there was no one to help, and I was astonished, and there was no one to uphold; therefore, My own arm brought salvation to Me; and My fury upheld Me. I will tread down the peoples in My anger and make them drunk in My fury, and I will pour out their lifeblood on the earth.”
Isaiah 63:1‭-‬6 MEV
https://bible.com/bible/1171/isa.63.1-6.MEV

And so it is we also see, when Jesus appears out of Heaven astride his mighty horse, John the Revelator makes note of his garments:

He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood.
Revelation 19:13a MEV
https://bible.com/bible/1171/rev.19.13.MEV

And that’s BEFORE his final execution of the wicked at the end of chapter 19; NOT after. Obviously, he’s settled a score, before He comes to accost the armies of the kings of the Earth.

But accost them He does, and their end is swift and complete. The Beast and False Prophet are dispatched to the Lake of Fire, and then something really profound happens:

The Returned Christ PERSONALLY EXECUTES EVERY LAST UNREPENTANT SOUL.

Think, and see what this verse really meant the whole time: “For the wages of sin is death...”
— Romans 6:23

And here’s Jesus Himself carrying out the sentence, meting out upon all who refused to repent the just payment for their sin: to be personally executed by God.

EPIC JUSTICE

[Cronos]

If any one word describes our day from the standpoint of God’s Word, it is “lawlessness.” Almost every day, news of increasing ungodliness in the United States saddens me. We have gone from the most pro-life president in our history to Biden, who from day one has proven to be a fierce advocate of this brutality here and everywhere else in the world. This is just one of many examples where “lawlessness” characterizes our world, causing “the love of many” to “grow cold.”

Oh, this is so utterly wrong

Lawlessness? Life is actually SAFER

[Cronos]

Wars and rumors of wars In verse 6, Jesus said, “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.” The world today is on the edge of war. There’s mounting friction between China and America over Taiwan, which many believe could result in a war between the two in the near future.

China's NOT going to go to war over Taiwan

The number of wars are decreasing.

The numbers of people dying in wars are decreasing

[Cronos]

The word for “nation” in this verse is literally ethnos in the Greek. The tension Jesus predicts for the end times arises from strife and battles between ethnic groups as well as among nations. Does anyone doubt that this is happening today and continuing to grow worse in our world seemingly by the day?

nope, it's actually DECREASING - steadily since the 1940s.

[Cronos]

This entire “last hour” bit is no more than various groups saying “send in your last dollar before the last hour”.

Con-artists all with the pre-tribulation rapture con

Excellent

That is a valid point.
To me Turkey has always been key.
They have issues right now with Russia and Iran, but something could change that situation very quickly.

The Daily Sabah (Turkey’s version of Pravda) has been lying about a treaty or peace with Israel lately. The Mediterranean and Israel’s maritime trade routes to the EU, Greece, Cyprus is really upsetting Erdogan.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

It never fails :)

Folks need to be Bereans and read what The Bible says, not listen to what some dude at their pulpit says about it and then make up their mind 100% that what is said is ‘true’.

I don’t even bother responding anymore.
