We don't fight FOR victory, we fight FROM victory. And, yes, Armageddon will be a mighty victory clearing the world's decks of the powers of darkness and bringing the light of the glory of Christ to rule the world for 1000 years.
Wonderful!

Times to Come,,,
‘For such a Time as This.’

Creator of the Universe is also the Creator of Time.
Time Fascinates me.
Dan’s post can really stir
Things Up FRiend!
Seven times HOTTER!

How did They measure That
Firefighter??
And there sat Sam, looking cool and calm, in the heart of the furnace roar;
And he wore a smile you could see a mile, and he said: “Please close that door.
It’s fine in here, but I greatly fear you’ll let in the cold and storm—
Since I left Plumtree, down in Tennessee, it’s the first time I’ve been warm.”
Like all the denizens sitting in hellfires, ol’ Sam is there by personal choice and wouldn’t have it otherwise.
Amazing, ain’t it?
Now, as you suggest, it is insane to me, because He has made me a new creature. I have tasted God's goodness, and I am His forever:
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate [me] from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus [my] Lord.
Romans 8:38-39
Yes, and speaking of the times we’re living in, I believe we’re living in what will turn out to be the most amazing and astonishing century maybe ever.
This the 21st Century began with the Islamic attack (”911”) on America - a preview of coming attractions. And I believe it will end with Jesus Christ physically in Jerusalem crowned as King of Kings and Lord of lords over the whole world. (This will happen right after Armageddon, the bloodiest meeting of enemy armies ever - those that hate God (basically what’s left of the world) try to attack Heaven’s armies but are utterly vanquished by Jesus and his armies.)
The last four chapters of
Revalation always cheers me
Up,
Jesus WINS!

No, they wouldn’t!
Thanks for the link.
Adding more fuel would not be a reliable method. It’s possible they used different types of fuel, some that burned hotter than others. My guess is that it was a measure of distance. For example, if whatever they usually heated in that furnace was ready to go when you could comfortably approach the oven at, say, 3 feet, maybe seven times hotter could be determined if you couldn’t get any closer than around 21 feet. Something like that.
mine too!
Indeed, learning about David gives us hope.
David was flawed in so many ways,
yet
he was a man after God's own heart
Recently, when the Spirit confronts me about my reprehensabilities, one of my meditations (in addition to repentance) has been marveling in depth at Jesus' complete victory over temptation. When I meet Him in heaven, I intend to tell him and hear the details.
I like that,
Different fuels and a comfy distance.
I give the ‘Ancients’
a lot of credit for intelligence.

Thanks!
