On Jan. 26, 2023, Tim Moore, CEO and Senior Evangelist at Lamb & Lion Ministries, wrote that Dr. David Reagan (founder of Lamb & Lion Ministries) met a man that said he wished he could live in biblical times.
Moore wrote that Reagan replied, “You do! You do live in biblical times! Open your eyes and see!”
The Bible teaches that:
Only God knows the day or the hour of our Lord’s return (Matt. 24:36).
Those who watch can know when it is near (Luke 21:28).
Those who watch can see the day approaching (Heb. 10:25).
According to the Bible, Jesus will come to this earth twice (called the first coming as a Lamb and a Second Coming as a Lion).
The Scriptures record hundreds of prophecies about the first coming of Jesus and hundreds more about the Second Coming of Jesus.
I had the great honor of being interviewed by Tim Moore, David Reagan, and Nathan Jones on Lamb & Lion’s Christ in Prophecy TV program a few years ago, and they seemed fascinated when I told them my grandson was interviewed on a TCT-TV program discussing the Book of Revelation when he was eight years old.
My grandson was asked if adults can understand the Book of Revelation, and his reply was, “If an eight-year-old kid can understand the Book of Revelation, an adult can understand it.”
Paul said, “God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty” (I Cor. 1:27).
There are thousands of people with multiple degrees that God could have chosen for that TCT-TV interview discussing the Book of Revelation, but He chose an eight-year-old boy.
Reagan got it right, “You do live in biblical times! Open your eyes and see!”
(Note: Today, there are plenty of resources available for a person to get a good understanding of most of the Book of Revelation, IF THEY WANT TO).
Here are a few signs that we are living in biblical times today.
One, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: on Jan. 31, 2023, it was reported that U.S. Sec. of State, Antony Blinken, visited Israel and said Russia and Iran are on a “two-way street.”
Blinken said, “Russia is supplying sophisticated weapons to Iran,” and Iran is supplying drones to Russia to “kill innocent Ukrainian civilians.”
These two nations, which were once enemies, are constantly growing closer together, just as the Bible says.
Two, also concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: Israel has been sending supplies (blankets, first aid supplies, ambulances, etc.) to Ukraine but not weapons because Russia has troops and weapons in Syria that could be used to retaliate against Israel.
When U.S. Sec. of State Antony Blinken visited Israel on Jan. 31, 2023, Blinken urged Israel to do more to support the security of Ukraine.
On Feb. 2, 2023, Russia warned Israel against arming Ukraine.
A Russian spokesperson said, “Any attempts – implemented or even unrealized but announced for the supply of additional, new or some other weapons – lead and will lead to an escalation of this crisis. And everyone should be aware of this.”
It is interesting that Bible prophecy says Israel will have a great army at the end of the age, and the U.S. is asking Israel to do more to support Ukraine.
Why does NATO, the U.S. military, the EU, and Ukraine need Israel’s help?
Three, concerning wars and rumors of wars: Muslims have stepped up terrorist attacks in Israel, and Israel has stepped up its retaliation.
Violence is escalating, and the possibility of war is growing.
Four, concerning population control and abortion (the murder of children): on Jan. 30, 2023, U.S. Sec. of Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra, said government looks for scientists and professionals that can give them a reason to declare emergencies.
Becerra said he is considering the possibility of declaring a public health emergency to promote abortion.
At the World Health Organization Assembly meeting on May 21-30, 2023, there will be a vote to make recent World Economic Forum (WEF) proposals global law.
If approved, one of those proposals will empower the head of the WHO (Director Gen. Tedros) to declare emergencies and regulate the healthcare of everyone on earth.
If one individual, such as Becerra or Tedros, is empowered to declare emergencies to promote a political agenda, the U.S. and the world will soon be subjected to the political agenda of the Antichrist.
Five, concerning a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and tracking all buying and selling: in an article on the Exposé site on Feb. 3, 2023, Rhoda Wilson wrote, “The ‘pandemic’ may be over, but the agenda behind the unleashing of one or more deadly poisons and diseases and an even deadlier ‘cure’ is not. The Great Reset is moving forward, and if the populations of Western countries do not wake up, the final part of the central control grid may snap into place – the rollout of digital identities and CBDCs.”
(My opinion: Globalists are taking a 14-year (2016-2030 or sooner) step-by-step approach toward world government. They pass a few global laws in one week, wait and pass a few more global laws, wait, and pass a few more global laws, etc. They restrict the use of thousands of acres of land in one week, wait and restrict the use of thousands of acres of more land, wait, and do it again. It is like the myth of slowly raising the temperature of water on a frog in a pot. If you put the frog in hot water, he will jump out, but if you put the frog in tepid water and slowly raise the temperature, he will sit in the water until it kills him. Globalists are incrementally moving toward the New World Order and hoping that people won’t wake up until it is too late.).
Six, concerning CBDCs: the idea of the world going to a basket full of currencies first and eventually settling on a one-world currency has been around for more than 40 years (Google it).
In 2013, I wrote a book called God Has Spoken (And We Know It).
There were two more printings, but in the first printing, I wrote the following:
On March 19, 2009, the UN Commission of Experts on International Financial Reform suggested that the world drop the dollar as its Federal Reserve Currency. This panel (not prophecy buffs or religious nuts) wants to replace the dollar with a “basket of currencies” called “shared reserve currencies.” The intermediate goal of this panel is the creation of ten regional currencies or ten shared reserve currencies, but the ultimate goal is a one-world currency.
In Dec. 2015, Paul McGuire wrote the following in an article titled “MEGA DATA: WHAT THE FUTURE WILL BRING IN 2015”:
Now we add another major economic trend, the BRICS nations attempting to replace the dollar as the world’s currency with a new world currency composed of a basket of competing currencies.
Having said this, let’s fast forward to Feb. 4, 2023, and an article by Zero Hedge titled, “A Dollar Collapse is Now in Motion, Saudi Arabia Signals The End of ‘Petro Status.’”
According to Zero Hedge:
Globalist white papers and essays specifically outline the need for a diminished role for the U.S. currency as well as a decline in the American economy in order to make way for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and a new global currency system controlled by the IMF.
While globalists plot and plan for the end of the U.S. dollar and a single currency made up of a basket of digital currencies controlled by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Bible tells us that would only be temporary.
When he arrives on the world stage, Antichrist, indwelt by Satan, and the False Prophet will seize control of the global political system (Revelation 13:4), the global religious system (Revelation 13:11), and the global economic system (Revelation 13:16-18).
All three are being rebuilt to accommodate the final government.
Currently, 10 nations have launched a CBDC, and more than 100, including the U.S., are exploring their use of them.
I am not prophesying, but I believe the Bible teaches that the world will merge into 10 regions (10 groups of nations; called Regionalization) with 10 leaders (called the Ten Kings).
The Bible does not say this, but I would not be surprised if world leaders settle on 10 CBDCs (a basket of 10 digital currencies because more than 100 is too many).
As I understand it, after some initial rebellion by 3 leaders, God will cause the Ten Kings to merge their 10 regions, 10 militaries, and 10 currencies into a one-world government with one CBDC to fulfill His Word.
Will the Rapture be before the Ten Kings rise, after the Ten Kings rise, or at some point in between?
We don’t know, but I believe some of them could soon start coming onto the scene.
Seven, concerning potential corruption and betrayal of the U.S. in the Biden administration: on Feb. 4, 2023, it was reported that Sen. James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, has notified Biden’s Climate Change Czar, John Kerry, that he is under investigation for secret negotiations with the Chinese Communist Party that undermine the economic well-being of the U.S.
The committee has asked Kerry to supply relevant documents and accused him of failing to respond.
Eight, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age, on Feb. 6, 2023 (Turkish time), a 7.8 earthquake (followed by a 6.7 aftershock about ten minutes later, and a 5.8 aftershock about an hour later) struck while people were sleeping at about 4 a.m. on a cold, snowy night about 20 miles from a major Turkish city.
Initial reports said many buildings have collapsed, more than 1,300 people have been killed, hundreds (perhaps thousands) more are trapped, the earthquake was felt in Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Egypt, and the aftershocks keep coming.
Hospitals, healthcare facilities, and medical and rescue workers are overwhelmed.
(More: At 1:24 p.m., following the first earthquake and aftershocks, a 7.5 earthquake struck. Statistics from the first earthquake were up to more than 1,300 killed, at least 5,383 injured, and more than 2,800 buildings destroyed. The report also said at least 473 people have been killed and more than 3,000 injured in Syria. Several nations, including Israel, are sending help.)
(More: On Feb. 8, 2023, the Associated Press (AP) reported that the death toll had topped 11,000 and was expected to keep climbing. There have been 120 significant aftershocks, at least 6,000 buildings have been destroyed, including hospitals, thousands of people need to be rescued, and 380,000 people are in shelters and hotels. A different report said the World Health Organization is predicting that the death toll could reach 20,000, and a third report said people are working in freezing temperatures, and time is running out.)
(Latest update as of Feb. 11: The death toll has surpassed 28,000.)
Finally, are you Rapture Ready?
If you want to be rapture ready and 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.
Also, was not your cult’s founder a pre-tribber? Was she not a Millerite?
Did she not claim visions from God that revealed then-new information or then-secret info?
With the answers to those questions in mind, do you never feel the stupidity of your own accusations of others who tell the truth?
“And WHY would a biblical scholar, like Samuel Prideaux Tregelles, who was an eyewitness to Margaret McDonald’s utterances, call it Satanic BS?”
Please post the quote in which Tregelles called it, according to your own words, “Satanic BS.”
——>“Satanic BS.”
I was PARAPHRASING. But, here it is:
It came not from Holy Scripture, but from that which falsely pretended to be the Spirit of God, while not owning the true doctrine of our Lord’s incarnation in the same flesh and blood as His brethren, but without taint of sin.
——>Also, was not your cult’s founder a pre-tribber? Was she not a Millerite?
No, Miller and his followers were waiting for the ACTUAL second coming of Christ.
I’ll post more when I get a chance. Going to work now.
Bye.
“I was PARAPHRASING. But, here it is:
“It came not from Holy Scripture, but from that which falsely pretended to be the Spirit of God, while not owning the true doctrine of our Lord’s incarnation in the same flesh and blood as His brethren, but without taint of sin.”
Oh, I see. You made him say something that suits your agenda but that in truth the man never said.
What liberty you take with the words of the deceased.
“No, Miller and his followers were waiting for the ACTUAL second coming of Christ.”
In which case, they knew nothing about Scripture. Ellen carried that on to the founding of the SDA after the false date(s) didn’t quite pan out.
Error begetting more error.
Yup. The SDA was created to explain away the error of the Millerites.
Apparently their date was so secret that even Jesus didn’t know about it.
——>Oh, I see.
No, you don’t.
——>You made him say something that suits your agenda but that in truth the man never said.
Sorry, but I was spot on.
——>In which case, they knew nothing about Scripture.
Of course they did. They were studying the 2300 day/year prophecy of Daniel. They traced it down to the day, which was October 22, 1844. They thought it was the second coming of Christ. They were wrong.
Would you please tell how your church interprets that prophecy? If you don’t have the slightest clue, maybe you should do some studying.
——>I must be blind as a bat or either you’re lying again.
Claire, I’m over here...
Yeah, you’re blind as a bat.
BTW, are you not capable of doing your own research?
https://www.the-saltoftheearth.com/nicolaitans/
This is what it boils down to:
“The doctrine and works of the Nicolaitans came forth from a wrong interpretation of the GRACE OF GOD that was preached by the apostles. They misused the grace of God and the liberty in Christ to fulfill their carnal (sexual) lusts and desires.”
“The Nicolaitans believed and said that a person is saved by grace and therefore it doesn’t matter how you live. The Nicolaitans said that by faith in Jesus Christ, the spirit of a person is saved, but since you are bound by the flesh, in which evil is present, you will always remain a sinner and always keep sinning. You serve God through your spirit, but you keep serving your flesh and its lust and desires during your life on earth.”
“What the Nicolaitans were actually saying is, that you serve God through your spirit, but you serve the devil through your flesh (soul and body).”
“But Jesus says a person can’t be divided and can’t serve two masters of two kingdoms.”
“A person lives in the kingdom of God and serves God or a person lives in the kingdom of the devil and serves the devil (Matthew 4:10, 6:24, Luke 4:8, 16:13).”
“A person can say that he/she believes and is saved, but his or her speech and deeds prove whether the person is truly saved.”
Then, there’s this from both EGW and the SDA bible commentary:
“Doctrine of the Nicolaitans.– The doctrine is now largely taught that the gospel of Christ has made the law of God of no effect; that by ‘believing’ we are released from the necessity of being doers of the Word. But this is the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which Christ so unsparingly condemned.” E.G. White, SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 7, 957, and Signs of the Times, Jan 2. 1912.
“The doctrine of the Nicolaitans appears to have been a form of antinomianism (see SDACom 7:957).Nicolaitans of the 2d cent. seem to have continued and extended the views of the 1st-cent. adherents, holding to the freedom of the flesh, and teaching that the deeds of the flesh had no effect upon the health of the soul and consequently no relation to salvation.” SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 8, p. 771.
Definition of antinomian: a believer in the doctrine that faith alone, not obedience to the moral law, is necessary for salvation.” Websters New World Dictionary.
https://www.gotquestions.org/Nicolaitans.html
Other commentators believe that these Nicolaitans were not so called from any man, but from the Greek word Nicolah, meaning “let us eat,” as they often encouraged each other to eat things offered to idols. Whichever theory is true, it is certain that the deeds of the Nicolaitans were an abomination to Christ. They, like the Gnostics and other false teachers, abused the doctrine of grace and tried to introduce licentiousness in its place (2 Peter 2:15, 19; Jude 1:4).
Just in case you missed it:
Jude 4: For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
BTTT
Behold the Anthropooficus Arrogantitus Backyardus Cultititist in all his error.
Phil, you’ve posted the same old tired “line of reasoning” that hasn’t been well thought out by you. You can skip it. We’ve all seen it before many, many, many times over. I know you cannot allow light to shine on you without running into the corner and screaming, “Noooooo!” and slamming your fists against the wall. However, that doesn’t put a dent in the good and true just because you and the SDA cult can’t deal with it.
Your cult was founded on outright lies and errors, the which you have to continue your whole life to overlook. You were born into it and that’s what you’ve allowed yourself to be hardened into from all the years you’ve permitted bitter to be called sweet, and darkness to be called light.
When the SDA says that Jesus had to enter “Investigative Judgment,” when their Return date didn’t have Him to return on said date, it’s saying that Christ Jesus was not and is not all-knowing. I’d shut my mouth if I believed such because you’re saying He is not God. That He has to go and learn something He doesn’t know already.
Learn this: Christ Jesus learns nothing; He is all-knowing. He is God. Whatever you’re serving with your heart, soul and mind, it’s not THE God of the Bible. He’s not reading some books to learn about you now. That’s just stupidity at its finest to believe that.
It gets worse with you and your spiritual kin: Angels have gold card passes for traveling around, etc., etc. & etc. I would say it’s stuff that can’t be made up, but that’s not the case. Some poor soul conjured it up, just like the rest is conjured up.
Go on now. Continue your lying and misleading for the SDA. Show the world what they’re really about, but know that God would have you come to HIM for salvation. There’s no other way, Phil. The SDA can’t give it to you. No church can ever grant salvation no matter how many lies they tell or how many laws they stack up … against themselves for judgment. Losing game that not one will win.
As I posted earlier, Phil, regarding the SDA: error begetting more error. (Heaping it on, in this case.)
BTTT !
Wow, me proving Ken Johnson is a LIAR really set you off, didn’t it?
