• Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. Mark 13:32 is an exact parallel.• Matthew 24:42 “Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.
• Matthew 24:44 “For this reason you be ready too; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.
• Matthew 25:13 “Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour. Mark 13:33-37 is a parallel passage.
• Acts 1:7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority;
• 1 Thessalonians 5:1-2 Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.
No man knows the specifics, the day or hour, but in Matthew 24 Jesus Himself gave us plenty of warning signs to look for that the general time is coming.
So you can blow it off all you want, but you’ll have to take it up with Jesus since HE told us the general signs of His impending return to look for.
Food shortages will affect the middle class, working poor, and fixed income people the most - driving them down the economic ladder.
The poor will get free handouts, the elites will continue to party on.
somebody forgot the book oof esther with Haaman ....hisssss!
Politics is like football. Each team has a game plan. It includes secrets they don’t tell the other team...or public. Each team disguises formations to trick and fool the other side. TWhis is the game. It is politics.
Someteams gave a good gme plan. Some teams a not s good game plan. Some don’t know what game they are playing.
The Day of the Lord is proceeded by specific signs:
1. 2nd coming of Elijah
Malachi 4:5 NKJV
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
2. Antichrist revealed by the abomination of desolation
2 Thessalonians 2:3 NKJV
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
3. Sign of combined solar and lunar eclipse
Joel 2:31 NKJV
The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
The first of these signs will take place during the first half of Daniel’s 70th week.
The second sign will take place in the middle of Daniel’s 70th week, which also marks the beginning of the Great Tribulation.
The third sign will take place at the end of the Great Tribulation which is “cut short” so that the elect are not destroyed.
Mattew 24:29 NKJV
Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Christ’s second coming/day of the Lord immediately follows sign #3. It is marked by the rapture at the start of this time period and His return to the earth at its conclusion.
Notice that the rapture is immediately followed by the destruction of fire on the earth by holy angels.
2 Thessalonians 1:7-8 NKJV
And to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Notice this is when the Thessalonians can expect to receive the promised rest. It is the rapture. But it is not followed by a time of peace, as Daniel’s 70th week begins (first horseman on a white horse). No, the Day of the Lord arrives with “sudden destruction” for those who remain on earth.
2 Peter 3:10 NKJV
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 NKJV
For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.
Don’t go by the doctrines of men. Go by the scriptures. You can easily look up and read every scripture that speaks of the Day of the Lord. You will find it is NOT the same as Daniel’s 70th week. The Church will remain far into Daniel’s 70th week. She will endure tribulation and persecution. She will face the Antichrist. She will face deception, war, famine, and deadly disease as she has faced throughout her existence. And the gates of Hell will not prevail.
We know the season - we’re not blind.
If you read HIS WORD, you’ll know.
Sadly most “christians” assume a lot these days, especially the fact that they are.
2 Peter 3:3
Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.
Prophecy is like warning against the Covid-19 vaccine.
The fear motivates much more than relying on God-given conscience and His Comfort.
Even in my own church most folks would rather talk about their next years plans than be excited about Jesus’s Return.
Pete Garcia estimated about only 1% of True Believers actually look forward to His Return. That’s about right IMHO.
I’ve come to the point of dealing with scoffers, that I shake the dust off and move on.
But I guess I still wonder, in the face of all the evidence, why do they yet scoff?
My best guess is because the love of the present world has them in shackles.
And....
2 Thessalonians 2:11
King James Version
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
And yet in spite of scoffers....
The time of our departure is at hand.
1 Thessalonians 5:1
King James Version
5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
There’s going to be precious little of the church left after they’ve all been beheaded for not taking the mark of the beast.
The golden handcuffs and love of this world has a lot of people fooled bro.
God will decouple His Children from the world in more ways than one in order to get their attention. I believe that has been happening for some time now.
1 John 3:3
All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
And if that happens “The Gates of Hell shall not prevail” eh?
LOL.
“Comfort each other with these words”.
👎
I have experienced the same thing even within my own family and this is among those who are called “Christian”. It’s sad that they dismiss the signs that are unfolding.
I’m pretty sure it’s closer than it was yesterday.
The realities are becoming frighteningly arrived. The elites already have scientists testing aerosolized delivery methods for their mRNA ‘treatments’. The reality of aerosolized forced changes to our mRNA, producing a result that makes us no longer in God’s image, is a sign that the Rapture removal of the Body of Christ Believers must be very near, since voluntary acceptance of the Mark will become obsolete when the WEF globalist can change us without our knowledge of the ‘treatment protocol’.
A second massive error is shoehorning Matthew 24 into prophecy to the Church.
The Day of the Lord is the time of Jacob's Troubles. Is the Church EVER identified as Jacob? You have named yourself aptly as one who seeks to glorify your flawed reasoning so others 'unlearn' what the scriptures tell us. You do so by twisting the Word of God to fit your imagined timetable.
Here is a clue which will expose your flaws in reasoning: Israel is told to watch for the return of Messiah, whereas the Ekklesia, the Believers in Jesus are told to WAIT for the gathering by the Lord Christ.
The trouble is there is no time in history people couldn’t point to certain events that they claimed were those same signs. I think the fact that certain events which seem to fit these signs are now happening on a global scale is significant though.
How many times in the History you trust has a nation been established in a day? How many times has Israel returned to the Middle East to be an autonomous nation since 70 AD? Focus on Israel and you see a list of never before since 70 AD things happening in our lifetime. The Tribulation, according to Daniel’s teaching, is for God to put an end to Sin in Israel. Do you realize the great sin of Israel is UNBELIEF?
