You can lead a heart to Jesus but you can’t it believe. It still surprises me how people can’t grasp the idea that love thy neighbor will make the world a better place.
There has to be an Israel for the End Times.
And we are definitely seeing a lot of false theology being advanced. And a lot of rejecting sound doctrine and a general falling away from Christ....open rejecting and mocking.
IMHO this is going to accelerate.
The chaff is being separated from the wheat.
We need to be prepared as no one knows the day or hour.
Being prepared is trusting in Christ, and only Christ, for your salvation.
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for the privilege of being called your children and for the hope we have in Christ's return. Help us to remain vigilant in our faith, constantly aware of the spiritual battles we face. Grant us a hunger and thirst for your Word, that we may study it diligently and apply its teachings to our lives. Empower us to live faithfully, reflecting your love and grace to those around us. May our prayers be a constant connection with you, seeking your guidance and surrendering our hearts to your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
I understand there will be a “red heifer” sacrifice at the Mount of Olives this September with an ceremony at The Dome of the Rock (which the Muslims will not allow). We live in interesting times.
Sure. Mocking a doctrine invented in the 19th century is forcing Gods hand
This is what I've been telling people. As hopeful as one may be about any future revivals, all I see is nations, congregations and churches where people need to be yelling "Ichabod, the glory has departed" As David Wilkerson once did during a supposed "Christian" concert many years back.
The rapture is a fake novelty.
That is to presuppose that the "Rapture-at-any-moment" Dispensationalism is "sound doctrine" that all Christians ascribe to.
Just FYI for those who are unfamiliar with the above Dispensationalist (earthly millennium, rapture-at-any-moment) interpretation of Scripture regarding the End Times presented here: the majority of Christians today (and who have ever lived, for that matter) do not ascribe to it. It was not developed until the early 19th century. It originated in England but is mostly held by many (not all) American evangelicals.
I'm not saying there is no truth in it or that nobody should consider it, only that it is important to know that this is not the only interpretation or position. As the majority of Christians in the world are either Catholic, Orthodox and other Eastern Churches who do not ascribe to modern Dispensationalism vastly outnumber the American influenced Evangelical Protestants and Protestant Fundamentalists that are the ones who primarily embrace modern Dispensationalism, it is important to point out that it doesn't represent the views of most Christians.
I am not a biblical scholar. I don’t see in the sciptures where believers will be spared tribulations or the Tribulations. I guess it’s how you read and interpret the word/way. Do not be discouraged if the rapture from the tribulations does not occur in you human/fallible way. Be prepared to go through the hardest testing ever. Just my opinion.
It seems to me that, in dispensationalism, “The Rapture” takes the place in their theology that the resurrection should.
