Please check back in an hour or more. Thank you for your patience!
Another subject that needs to be explored is what happens in Revelation 21,22, between the seventh trumpet and post second resurrection? It make little sense to me (as written) the keys are left out, hopefully others can express their inner feelings on these 2 chapters.
We serve a mighty God!! And He is the revealer of EVERYTHING!! Without Faith it is impossible to please God...Faith allows us to KNOW Psalms 57:2 is TRUTH!! God reveals many amazing things, including His MIGHTY self, to His children!! Things we could not know of ourselves!! I praise Him for this!! I am so thankful God picked me!! Please Lord allow me to always Praise You and thank You!
Psalms 57:2
I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
Isa 48:6 "Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them."
Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great VOICE, as of a TRUMPET.
Revelation 4:1 .... an the first VOICE I heard was as if it were a TRUMPET talking with me ....
2 Peter 3:8. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
We see some try to use this verse to establish a time piece for God. BUT IT ACTUALLY MEANS NO TIME. The Emphasis is on Gods patience and longsuffering. Easily seen when you consider the surrounding verses.
2 Peter 3:3-9.
Let's entertain this reasoning for a second.
If you're going to use this measurement as time for God you have to also use it for verse 10.
2 Peter 3:10. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; ...
That DAY would have to measure a thousand years also!!
And how does that "thousand years day come as a thief in the night? Sounds silly doesn't it? IT SHOULD.
#1 God is from EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING!! He stands on the outside of time ( Outside this world ). Looking in. perhaps another dimension altogether.
God gave us a way to chart time in
Genesis 1:14. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for DAYS, and YEARS:
The evening and the morning means a 24hr day. He communicate with us using this scale throughout the scripture.
70 years captivity in Babylon is just one of many examples.
One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day if you look at it carefully it's like saying 2 steps forward and 2 steps backwards.
YOU'RE RIGHT BACK WHERE YOU STARTED. NO TIME AT ALL!!
THE EMPHASIS IS ON GODS LONGSUFFERING.
GOD BLESS
Looking into the night sky, one can only wonder what holds the stars together, or the ground we stand on. How the universe wakes up each day in its same place, lights out of the night, from the same place as the day before!
Within the stone are the promises of God. Within the stone are the secrets too the universe, Within the stone is the creation!
Not unlike the molecule, or atom, such is the stone. How convenient we find the letter "T" in it. This letter balancing within , completing both the length and breadth of only the word, Gods word!
Without the stone, there would be no planets, there would be only space, with nothing in between! Only Emptiness!
Satan knows his days are numbered. The tempter knows He only has so much time!
We see him trying to change his own end, trying to change what is determined, even already, trying to change the time!
Satan knows the stone is the foundation, the faith, the corner. He knows the stone the builders would reject, would become the head of the corner. He knows the stone would be Christ who would crush Him into powder!
As with Christ, the tempter would have us deny our very faith, the faith that holds all things together! If He could, He would have u question once again who you are and what you believe!
Those who know who they are, know what they stand on. Know that whatever happens, they stand on a rock! A rock that shall never be moved, a rock of faith , given too those who trust Him! That is Christ in you.
What was the time of day when Jesus was baptized?
What was the time of day when Jesus gave up the ghost?
Are these two dates 42 months apart, to the minute?
But you can be saved. God loves you. Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you." He sent His only Son to die for you John 3:16-18 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." But it's not enough to believe in your head. You must believe in your heart. Romans 10:9-10 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Confess your sins to Jesus Christ, repent, and believe in your heart that he has saved you. He will give you a new heart and a new life in Him. Ezekiel 36:26 "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh." May God bless you.
He begins his letter showing Christ's superiority over the prophets ( Hebrews 1:1-3) & then in Hebrews 1:4 to 2:1-18, Christ is greater than the angels of God. In Jewish thought & belief, angels were of higher rank than the prophets of God, & since, according to them, Jesus was regarded as only a teacher, then the angels excelled over Him. The Hebrews writer took great pains to present Jesus as far greater (as God's Son, 1:5,8; Who receives the worship of angels, 1:6; Who sits at God's right Hand, 1:13). No angel had that privilege or authority as Jesus, God's Word, God's Son did. Since angels are ministers of God (1:14; 2:2) administering God's Affairs & Word to His people, Jesus came into the world to do far more than they.
So, the writer continues in Hebrews chapter 2, 'if disobedience to God's Word/Commands brought about sure punishment to Israel, how much more suffering will come to those who neglect God's Salvation through His Son" (i.e. to those to refuse salvation preferring to resort to Judaism). Then in 2:5-9, the writer builds up on that Truth: even through the ignominy of cruel suffering & death on a cross Jesus assumed a lower position than of angels, yet in His Resurrection & Victory over Satan, He was crowned with Glory & Honour. Verse 5: therefore the world (present & future) is not in subjection to the angels but to Christ alone & to believers who will reign with Him (2:6-8).
We should intensify and draw closer in our relationship with the Lord. Our prayer life and private devotions should glorify the Lord. Our efforts should be in line with His will. Matthew 28: 18-20. We are in great need of the Lord's hand on us. Especially during this global pandemic we are going through. 2 Chronicles 7:14 - 16.
I am striving to do this, but find myself falling woefully short. May we lift all the saints in prayer, especially those in positions of authority, both civil and ecclesiastical. Prayer for the lost, as it is not God's desire that anyone be lost 2 Peter 3:9
God bless all the saints on this platform. July 2021
My Prayer Request is that OUR LOVE GOD JEHOVAH, THE MOST SINCERE LOVE, May Enter the Deepest of My Love Mind, Heart, Soul, Spirit and Body, so JESUS CHRIST Bless Me Paying Me 1 Trillion Dollars Every Day of My Wealthy Life, in order for Me to Love JEHOVAH, this Very Moment, the Way HE Wants to Be Loved, Perfectly and Completely, Constantly and Eternally.
Thanks a lot!
Blessings from THE FATHER to You All,

Your examples of Noah and Lott miss the point Jesus was making.
Jesus is describing the day of the Lord, the worst day in the history of the world, when God's beast army (Gog) (Esau) (king of the north) defeats His people, Israel (whomever they are). The Bible repeats the same narrative from different angles, and why anti-christ, and other figures, have so many parallels. Jesus is preparing you for what's coming. All activity ceased the day Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed the taken. Jesus is warning you of the coming abomination of desolation, absorbed by both houses of Israel. Jesus is spiritually saying ( Revelation 18:4)
Some of my relatives are with the Exclusive Brethren (also known as Plymouth Brethren). They are generally very small in number (< 20) but they certainly care for each other in every way, even providing paying jobs for any unemployed among them, etc. Of course, that sounds like a very NT pattern of care & concern, but theologically, there are differences. In your situation, you have a small elderly group, but it seems like the pastor/elder is happy to keep the status quo as everyone, bar one, is also satisfied with the setup. Even if you sought out another Fellowship, there's no guarantee that after spending time there, their follow-up of believers will be any different. It sounds that you have a ministry right there to initiate a better deeper interaction amongst believers. And particularly as they're mostly elderly, some might appreciate a home visit with a Word & prayer shared. But if you're feeling stifled, then check around - the Lord may have something elsewhere for you, hopefully both to give & receive. May the Lord encourage & direct you brother.
Don't fret, a smart one will assist you shortly.
