Jump right in!! the waters warm!!
That’s funny that you mentioned David Jeremiah... the Lord used that man and some others and that series “Escape the Coming Night” as a catalyst to bring me to Christ! (in 1992) also to get me fired up about the coming of Christ. It wasn’t until I read his book that I saw that Christ was indeed coming back etc...
As a matter of fact as a Catholic I never once heard or was taught that teaching of Christ second coming even though we repeated unconsciously in the mass... Christ has died, Christ has risen...Christ will come again... or in the Apostles creed “He will come again in Glory to Judge the Living and the dead.
I just decided to let God and His Word be my only source of info on what Christianity etc.. I have spent countless hours studying God’s wonderful Word and He has truly blessed my heart.. I’ve been saved since 1991 ish..
David is some what new evangelical...but he is right on... and I like him... Go and learn and be a servant of Christ, for His glory.. If I can be of any help feel free to contact me via FR email or The Ignorant fishermen email.
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!!

Well thank you very much for getting back with me. Very interesting testimony and great post. There are so many false teachings surfacing I always try to verify things are scriptural when I see articles and hear preaching.
Yes, Dr. Jeremiah is a wonderful teacher and his strongest area (imho) is prophecy..although he doesn’t use the KJV, I’ve never seen him fall out of line with it. As I had said he is teaching (it’s been aired before) Revelation, verse by verse and it is from that series ‘Escape the Coming Night’. He also made a series called ‘The Handwriting on the Wall’ around 1991/92, that you may not have heard of since that was around the time of your internal battle. It is on the Book of Daniel and goes hand in hand with Revelation. Anyway, I’m listening to that as well and it is absolutely fascinating and is even more clear than when it originally aired in ‘91/92.
We are at the threshold of His coming. He’s been ‘knocking’ at my heart for the past 3 years and it took a major shake up in February to get my attention and focus back. He’s moving and talking like never before:
“I am the Good Shephard, and know my sheep, and am known of mine” John 10:14 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand” John 10:27,28
I truly look forward to building a good exchange with you and the posters on your threads.
Thx again I.F.
