My friend... If a loved one is in hospice we have to be real about that the final outcome is at hand.. thus our day too..
There is no more room in this world for lawless humanity thus... the Four Horsemen.
Shalom my friend!
Agreed to a point... As the first part of the post states... do your part.... The post primarily refers to the 4 Horsemen, not Christ Second coming... Also it comes as a thief because scoffers abound! Those who reject the biblical objective assessment of this post in general will most likely be those who it comes as a thief in a night to..
Shalom in the Messiah
To God be the glory and even so come Lord Jesus!
Shalom!
My friend,, In deed but... You shall know a man by his deeds and works and I am not talking about the social gospel. I am talking from personal experience.. I know many a people who are very conservative and go to “church” but hate the Bible and God’s simple plan of salvation, who also reject the over abounding realities of our day and love their delusional optimistic subjective point of view. They’re great Americans but not saved men as the Bible clearly teaches... God desires mercy but we as His sheep need to be watchmen and warning!
See the ETERNAL my friend! Shalom!
Indeed the time is at hand!
My friend true.. but we are not to be blind as bats at the horrific rate of change the world is going through and how EXPONENTIAL all is! The Four Horsemen are the first global nuke war with 1/4 global population casualties.
Indeed in the fires of persecution and testing brings forth the finest gold in God’s people and the dross of them also. May it be revival.. but I think not.. We are in the church age that is in need of nothing (Rev. 3:14-22).
Shalom my friend!
the Four Horsemen
used to know the names of them all. am remembering two of
the names ... first or was it third rider ... obama.
second or is that fourth rider ... hillary.
History is so difficult to keep up with ...
Salute, my friend.
The Messiah in His fist advent, perfectly fulfilled literal days on our Heavenly Father’s calendar..
He perfectly came at an appointed time. He was born at an appointed time, circumcised at an appointed time, dedicated in the temple at an appointed time, baptized at an appointed time, laid His life down at an appointed time, laid in the tomb at an appointed time and was raised, HalleluYah, at an appointed time. All of those are found in scripture in some form. Some take some study and guidance from Him.
Perfect spiritual fulfilment of what He taught Israel but also perfect, literal fulfilment,of the same appointed times He taught Israel..
New Moons, Sabbaths and Feasts. His appointed times..they were called moeds in His Word.. perfectly fulfilled by the Savior in His first advent. His major life events occurred on specific days that makes truly, The Word became flesh and dwelt among us..
His bride can know all of this and be prepared for what He hasn’t ‘fulfilled’ of those New Moons, Sabbaths or Feasts.
there will be people sleeping and not watching..
There are appointed times not yet ‘ fulfilled’ and scripture gives us hints as to what they are... Trumpets and Tabernacles..
And amazingly, He has written it in His sky well before He wrote it on parchment..
And a study of His sun, moon and stars gives us the amazing story that is marked when those Feasts were to be observed by Israel in the 1st and 7th months of His calendar..
It makes our worldly calendar and its holy days look like cheap counterfeits when one realizes the Messiah/Savior ‘s major events occurred on days He appointed as days for Worship..
Well what seems to be exponential is the dying away of something that was superficial to begin with. Christ never intended the church to have an arm dedicated to the administration of Caesar. That can get you some Christianesque morality to boast about in the worlld. It can’t add one more soul to the Kingdom.
Further into this process I daresay it is quite possible we may discover an undercurrent of literally genuine belief in places we never would have expected — e.g. China.
The Christian and Jewish stories split apart with the inauguration of the church age. There is a lot of scripture that fits quite well with the scenario of a new merging of these stories in the future. This does not make gentile flavors of Christian worship invalid, unmeaningful, or even yet out of date. I hate to see the bigotry that errs to either side, either spiritualizing away the Jewish side of the Christian promise, or else venerating Jewish holy days as carrying a holiness that God cannot impart in some other fashion. We don’t have a Jewish section of heaven any more than we have a Baptist section. There is just one heaven.
When scripture and translators proved to me that the name Jesus was as much a tradition as anything, it confirmed that Rome’s gospel is different than Paul’s..
Paul preached a gospel that followed the scriptures available at that time and it would certainly be what we call the old testament.
And according to scripture, good Friday and easter Sunday are nowhere in scripture.
Those are substitutes for Passover and First Fruits. Those are days that are confirmed in the new testament..
It isn’t an accident the book of revelation mentions ‘The Lamb’ as many times as it does.
And why in the same letter to the Corinthians that mentions the plain gospel (1 Cor 15) He mentions Passover and First Fruits. The first church had zero to do with good Friday and easter Sunday..
And Sunday is only holy because Rome has deemed it holy...and Christendom follows Rome or accepts its premise of a holy Sunday and choose Saturday instead ... (pope Gregory’s calendar is a false calendar but that may be a conversation for another day)
The Roman gospel today is a different gospel... and it only fits a Greco roman Latin savior..and a Greco roman Latin calendar... one named for a pope in these last days’,
It is a subtle difference... but a master counterfeiter won’t make the copy look like monopoly money when trying to use it to steal...
And when scripture says he will think to change times and laws, as Daniel 7:25 says, seeing those times and laws changed has been a blessing that allows one to discern Truth from error, at best- at worst, discern Truth from counterfeit lies..
Prophetic considering prophecy also says the enemy deceives the whole world..
I tend to believe we as humans have accepted too much of the world’s truth that just can’t be proven and confrmd with His Word that is Truth..
But today is His 2nd day to me.. not Thor’s day like the world calls it..
I would probably be considered peculiar..
HalleluYah for that!
Missionary were in China before being thrown out by the Communist takeover. Ruth Graham late wife of Billy Graham was the daughter of missionaries there IIRC. Others like Bob Pierce {Franklin Graham's mentor & son of Billy & Ruth} did high risk missions into China as did Franklin himself IIRC. Christianity is alive and well in China but most of it is underground.
