Fear Of Bible Prophecy May Be A ‘Natural Response,’ But It’s Not Biblical
Harbingers Daily ^ | 11/24/22 | Mary Danielson

Posted on 11/25/2022 9:03:03 AM PST by Roman_War_Criminal

The world is entering a time unlike any we have ever seen. No, we are not just entering it, we are neck-deep in it. I have been watching, waiting, analyzing, and digging into prophetic studies for decades.

But not everyone embraces this often weighty topic with joy; in fact, more and more, I get a reaction resembling fear and even panic. The ‘fear factor’ as it relates to prophecy is a very real condition, and I don’t want to make light of it because I don’t take it lightly. Prophetic passages can be very sobering in that human suffering will be ramped up considerably.

But I do want to offer some gentle suggestions to those who struggle with a very real sense of foreboding at the thought that ‘the end is near,’ with its accompanying birth pangs and global tragedies as outlined in the Scriptures.

Over time, I have learned that there are only two responses that stir in the heart of a believer when they hear that time is short, and that the human race is headed for certain “unpleasant” events on our way to redemption and the consummation of all things.

“Satan will use them to convince Christians that they, Israel, are part of the PTR plan.”

Ok. I don’t even know how to respond to that. Will you please post your SDA commentary on it?

I’ve discussed it MANY times before, linking articles, commentary, and videos. It all fell on deaf and itching ears. Here’s the bible commentary link (including many other books and publications). YOU look it up.

No.

Have you sold all your possessions and given the money to the poor?

(Before you ask: No, we haven’t.)

“The fools on Prophecy Watchers?”

I’d tread extremely carefully when daring to slander and scandalize blood-bought, born again children of THE King, God Almighty. It cost God His Son’s life on that brutal cross 2000 years ago to make the purchase.

“YOU look it up.”

Look up your erroneous beliefs in the SDA commentary?

You gotta be kidding me.

Matthew 23:

37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38BEHOLD, YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATE. 39For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

38. Your house. Only the day before Jesus had referred to the Temple as “MY HOUSE” (ch. 21:13). Now it was “YOUR HOUSE.” Christ’s words must have struck terror to the hearts of priests and rulers. This declaration may also have come before their minds during the course of His trial (see ch. 26:61–64). The rent veil three days later was a visible sign that God no longer accepted the meaningless round of forms and ceremonies that were, for nearly 40 years longer, carried on there (see ch. 27:51). It was now the midst of the prophetic week of Dan. 9:27, and so far as Heaven was concerned the value of sacrifice and oblation was about to cease forever. See on Matt. 24:3, 15; cf. Luke 21:20; see Vol. IV, p. 35.

Sometimes, as you know, it’s what is not said:

38. Your house. Only the day before Jesus had referred to the Temple as “MY HOUSE” (ch. 21:13). Now it was “YOUR HOUSE.” Christ’s words must have struck terror to the hearts of priests and rulers.

What’s missing?

My opinion of them is any different than yours of EGW? I was actually being kind.

Why would I? Jesus’ instruction was for Israel. I know who I am, and I’m not Israel’s little flock. (Let this help you in my above answer, too.)

For whom did Jesus come and for which to minister?

What EGW has done on this earth is for God alone to judge. As with everyone else, I hope she repented before she died and got saved.

Got to get back to Bible study+prayer and worship. (Fortunately, we can worship God all week long! I’m grateful for that because my spirit needs Him every second of every single day). Oddly enough Bible study is “Book of Acts” at this time.

16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

---->If you are Israel, you’re blind and without a Kingdom or salvation at present.

Galatians 3:

28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

No, it is you who is spiritually blind.

——>Do you really think that you have entered the “little flock, aka, the remnant” and that, therefore, you are a part of them? If you do, you missed that boat by ~2000 years, Phil.

This remnant, that keeps the commandments of God and has the testimony of Jesus Christ? Well, that wouldn’t include your group, now would it (not commandment keepers, because there is no law, done away with, nailed to the cross, can’t keep it anyway, flesh sins but the Spirit can’t....THEREFORE CHRISTIANS CAN’T SIN, OSAS/OJAJ, Christ fulfilled the law, so therefore Christians don’t have to keep it, etc...)

Rev 12:17And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Oh, what’s a “remnant”, Claire? A remnant of WHAT/WHO?
