" Ezekiel 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tarsus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart (prince of Tarsus) is lifted up, and thine (prince of Tarsus) heart is lifted up, an thou hast said, I am a God, and I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet that art a MAN, and not God, though thou (prince of Tarsus) Set thine heart AS THE heart of God.
ALL MEN have the same problem; they want to EXALT THEMSELVES ABOVE GOD.
ALL MEN START OUT AS (children of) SATAN."
Ezekiel 28:2 overshadows ( Isaiah 14:12-14) & ( 2 Thessalonians 2:4).
I like how the prophets intertwine and repeat messages; you will rarely see an error in their texts. The prophets are woefully underrated by the people, as the NT is their book of choice.
Part 2. Sold under sin.
Romans 7:14. For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
I believe this old fallen nature has a source behind it. Spiritual wickedness, Children of darkness.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
John 3:19. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
I believe we're born Children of Adam and When we're Born again ( Born from above) we're Children of God.
Romans 5:19. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Note: To the Pharisees
John 8:44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. AND OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE FLESH DONT EXCEED THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE PHARISEES.
1 John 3:9-10. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
In this the children of God are manifest, and the CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, ( neither he that loveth not his brother. ) THERE IS HOW WE IDENTIFY THEM.
1 John 2:11. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
This is why there is diverse beliefs we have seen recently, but did you notice only 2 sides, we see some join forces against the truth. because there is 2 sources behind the scene. Mathew 12:30.
Part 3 coming.
God bless.
Yes, correct; GOD is in control of all things, NOTHING random happens.
The Christians believers must be focused in the signs of the END of this WORLD and return of the Lord JESUS Christ. Soon we will enter in the period of 7 days known as the last week-Dan.9:v.27. The Word is God, what is written will fulfill LITERALLY.
Matthew 24:1-8
1 Jesus went out,and departed from the temple:and his disciples came to Him for to shew Him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them,See ye not all these things?verily I say unto you,There shall not be left here one stone upon another,that shall not be thrown down.
(This prophecy fulfilled LITERALLY in the year 70AD,and Israel was banned from their land during 1878 years,in fulfilment Deuteronomy 28:15-68).
3 And as JESUS sat upon the mount of Olives,the disciples came unto him privately,saying,Tell us,when shall these things be?
- and what shall be THE SIGN of thy coming?
- And of the END of the world?
Here's the signs listed by JESUS:
4 And Jesus answered:
- Take heed that no man deceive you. (this was the first concerns of JESUS)
5 For many shall come in my name,saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
-(Soon will manifest the Beast of the earth who has two horns like a lamb,actually a false lamb,a false messiah,AN IMPOSTER,as said JESUS- John 5:v.43 combined with Rev.13:v.11.(Check it)
6 And ye shall hear of WARS and RUMOURS of WARS:see that ye be not troubled:for all these things must come to pass,but the END is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation,and kingdom against kingdom:and there shall be famines,AND PESTILENCES,and earthquakes in divers places.
NATION SHALL RISE AGAINST NATION, AND KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM
Will be G7,and G20,and EU,and UNO,among others Entities,DISSOLVED from now on?According 2Pe.3:11&12,day after day the HAPPENINGS in this World will go in this direction.
v.8 - All these are the beginning of sorrow. -Yeah,THE WORST will come yet,in near future.
Is it written in the Word of GOD? Then will fulfill LITERALLY. The Word is GOD
God CANNOT be SOVEREIGN and man have FREE WILL, it's impossible. Man would be able to CHANGE what God predestinated.
There have been billions of people that have been born and died, if man has free will why didn't at least one free will himself to NOT SIN.
Man makes hundreds of choices every day, but ever choice you make has a CAUSE and that cause is God:
Ephesians 1:11 In whom we also have obtained an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE OF HIM who worketh ALL THINGS after the counsel of HIS WILL.
Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD that WORKETH IN YOU both to WILL and DO of his good pleasure.
You are born again by the word of God.
This is part of being born again: you AGREE with God; that you do nothing of yourself, all is OF GOD, he shares his glory with NO ONE.
He causes you to believe, He causes you to understand that it is his faith not yours, He causes you to repent, He causes you to LOVE.
Philippians 1:29 For unto you it is GIVEN in the behalf of Christ, not only to BELIEVE ON HIM, but to also suffer for his sake;
Philippians 3:9 And being found in HIM, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the FAITH OF CHRIST, the righteousness which is OF GOD by faith.
Romans 2:4 ....Not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance.
Ezekiel 36:27 And I will put my spirit WITHIN YOU, and CAUSE YOU to walk in my statutes, and ye shall KEEP my judgements, ans DO THEM.
NO FREE WILL in those scriptures.
Living IN CHRIST becomes quite simple when you are born of TRUTH.
I'm saying that ( 1 Thessalonians 4:17) is for the elect 144K only, no one else is worthy.
( Revelation 20:5) is all that's left. God offers everlasting life and you want to dictate your way past the saints, as if you are on their level? Everything has an order, a time and a place.
This virus may be a test for something to come. What I see is the effect it had world-wide and what it has done to the world economic standings. I really do not see the virus as a sign. But looking at the world debt could be. Every country on earth is in debt, even China. One more hit to the world economy like last year, and it could open the door to world changes. If another pandemic hits can the world bare the cost? Can any country pay off the debt, I know the United States cannot? The dollar is the World Currency, most international trade is conducted in dollars, so what if it fails, will that start the ball rolling?
Just a thought from a simple man.
Hope this helps God bless you Sacha

I'm not trying to argue, I'm not understanding what you are saying.
What is you understanding of a lamentation.
Are you saying because he use the word prince he is addressing Satan.
Do you think Satan is a fallen angel, maybe that would help me if I know what you believe.
I knew that original post wasn't yours but for a second I thought maybe you had a riddle for us. But no one responded and you never came back to it, then I realized it must have been another Chris. I Imagined it could've been perhaps a kid.
Either way it may have been important to him. It was a good question.
God bless.

Thank you for helping preserve and uphold Christian values in this positive community!
Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR, the spirit that now worketh in the CHILDREN of disobedience:
Ephesians 2:3 Among whom also we had our conversation in times past in the lust of our flesh, fulfilling the the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the CHILDREN OF WRATH, even as others.
1 Corinthians 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect (mature): yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the PRINCES OF THIS WORLD, that come to nought:
1 Corinthians 2:8 Which none of the PRINCES OF THIS WORLD knew, for had they know it, they would not have crucified the prince of glory.
1 John 3:8 He that COMMITTETH SIN IS OF THE DEVIL (children); for the devil SINNETH FROM THE BEGINNING.....
1 John 3:10 In this the CHILDREN OF GOD are manifest, and the CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL: whosoever doth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loved not his brother.
Acts 13:10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou CHILD of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, will thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord.
John 8:44 Ye are (children) of your FATHER THE DEVIL .....
I believe the virus is real. Some of us have had loved ones impacted by it. It's not the virus that concerns me as much as it is the government and media lying to us about it. As far as it being a "sign of the times" or an indication that the return of Christ is near, I don't believe so because in past pandemics, people (not you personally) have said the same things. What I see as being more of a sign is that everywhere we look, it's as though this world is becoming more and more of a godless world.
The scripture speaks of a "falling away." The word is APOSTASIA. It means that people will leave the truth of the gospel, leave the faith in Christ, and it will be a godless world more and more. Many profess to be Christian, but they themselves have never been born of God's Spirit. They are the ones Paul wrote about in 1 Timothy 4:1.
We have that in our day. Someone speaks of an experience, and then they scramble to find the doctrine to back it up. When Satan presents the things of God, he gives an experience first, and then a twisting of the scripture to back it up. Some of us may have been in assemblies where things seemed a little strange. And it's the seducing of that atmosphere and experience that draws people to supposedly be following Christ.
You might see me at times telling others to be careful. We come on here and we don't always agree with each other on everything, but out of love, we need to lookout for each other. My one true concern for (everyone) here is for their spiritual welfare. Recently, I've noticed (maybe others also) that there are some strange things being shared here. Another believer even stated his concern about how some of these things might harm a new believer who is seeking truth.
We have to be careful. I feel like we are seeing this falling away (APOSTASIA) unfolding before our eyes. That's enough to cause me to believe that the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ might be nearer that we think. Even so, come Lord Jesus!
The Rapture; Caught Up; In the Clouds
End of Days
I am an Evangelist. I see lambs, sheep, wolves, hirelings and those called to be shepherds.
I'm just going to leave it at that and ask God to raise up more shepherds who care for the Sheep. To guide, in one accord, all those who want to know what the Caught Up is, and how to be a participant in that?
Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another
Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
1 Peter 4:9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. All of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
Ephesians 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.
Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love & good works.
I did not mean to imply what you listed was wrong, but I guess a lot of it did not go along with what you posted, I do apologize. The countries you listed may come to be, but I do not know or try to figure out what countries will be involved.
As far as what I can say about the future, I feel it will be different than what many teach. I believe, as far as the countries that will be united with the beast we will not know until they are set up. I believe the beast is not a country but an angelic being from the bottomless pit along with the false prophet, with the power of Satan who will rule over those countries and the world.
When Satan is cast down all changes, what that will look like who knows but it will not be pretty.
Babel and Babylon are the same but translated differently, Babel was the start of sun worship, the host of heaven worship, and sanctified prostitution and human sacrifices. Babel started what God was constantly dealing with Israel, the gods of the countries around them.
So, my feelings are that Babylon at the end times must have similar religious attributes because of what is said in ( Revelation 17:6), ( Revelation 18:24) and ( Revelation 19:2) whether the blood and deaths of the prophets, saints, and martyrs of Jesus are from the beginning of Babel or during the 3.5 years of tribulation, that is if this Babylon carries out the punishment for not taking the mark, because many of us if we are still here, will face death.
This is probably not what you are asking for, sorry if not. If I may suggest something, not saying I know anything but it may help if you want to study it. ( Luke 21:20-24) you listed in your first post you said if the U.S. was taken out it would be easy for Israel to be invaded, true but, when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Nisan 10 He cried and said, ( Luke 19:41-44). You may decide Jesus, in both cases was talking of the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD, not end times.
God bless,

Part 1.
I'm sure we both know what I mean when I say literal. We know God don't have feathers as seen hear. Psalms 91:4.
We use good biblical hermeneutics.
To get the scope of Ezekiel addressing TYRE you have to start at Ezekiel 26. on through Ezekiel 28.
By the time we get to Ch 28 Ezekiel is shifting from the city of Tyre to the King of Tyre "the ruler." But notice he calls him the " PRINCE OF TYRE " That would be significant because it suggests that the Prince of Tyre has an authority over him.
The passages in Ezekiel 28 we see in verse 2. Ezekiel is addressing the "PRINCE OF TYRE."
By the time you get to Ezekiel 28:12. He's addressing the ( KING OF TYRE. )
Here He's addressing what's behind the prince of TYRE. ( The demonic influence of Lucifer. )
Ezekiel 28:2. Son of man, say unto the
( PRINCE OF TYRUS, )Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
Ezekiel 28:12.
Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the ( KING OF TYRUS,) and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
The king of Tyre shown below here in verse 13 says the king of Tyre been in Eden, ( The Garden of God )
I doubt the prince of Tyre have been there!!
Ezekiel 28:13.
THOU HAST BEEN IN EDEN THE GARDEN OF GOD; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Part 2. Coming.
I believe we're born Children of Adam.
Sold under sin and possibly in a sense Children of the Devil.
God bless.
16 These six things doth the LORD HATE: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Proverbs 8:13 - The fear of the LORD is to HATE evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Proverbs 11:2 - When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
Proverbs 16:5 - Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
Proverbs 16:18 - Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 26:12 - Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
Proverbs 27:2 - Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
Proverbs 29:23 - A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
Jeremiah 9:23 - Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
Romans 12:16 - Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Galatians 6:3 - For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
Philippians 2:3 - Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
James 4:6 - But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
1 John 2:16 - For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the PRIDE of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. (Satan)
To be frank I don't completely understand your comment or how that relates to 1 Thessalonians 4:17. It reads as if you're possibly responding to someone else's comment or maybe a different thread or possibly trying to reprimand for something you read somewhere else?
Within is stated you want to focus on helping people become Christians- that's a great pursuit- have you been doing that yourself? You mentioned a prayer room being gone and I don't quite understand that either- do you mean the section on this website for prayer requests? If so, that's still there.
God bless...
The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the EAST.
[comment: formerly called the Silk Road; which has been rebuilt.
Revelation 9:14-18
The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the COLOR of fire and of sapphire and of sulfur (national colors of China) and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. By these THREE PLAGUES, A THIRD OF MANKIND IS KILLED by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.
Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Isaiah 49:12
Behold, these shall come from AFAR, and behold, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of SYENE.
[comment:
China gave us Swine FLU. SARS virus, Corona virus. I got a feeling that corona virus isn't done killing yet. It's morphing]
I don't think we need to act like this is just like past FLU episodes. We get a flu shot and feel protected for another year. Corona virus doesn't ACT like past "flu's."
If your Bible doesn't have Ancient Bible Maps WITH the Ancient Names for those regions; you can google online. "Ancient Bible Maps"
If the Bible can point the finger at China and regions in the Mideast (NOT Israel), then there must be some truth in it. Get those Maps out.

What does the Word of GOD say?
Revelation 13:v.11 to 18
11 And I beheld another Beast (MAN BEAST)coming up out of the earth;and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a Dragon. (In fact a false lamb, a false messiah- John 5:v.43- an esoteric, and kabbalistic, and spiritist messiah who will manifest in Israel, the MAN of sin, son of perdition)
12 And he (will)exerciseth all the power of the FIRST Beast(THE BEAST OF SEA)before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the FIRST(MAN)Beast, whose deadly wound was (will be) healed.
13 And he doeth (will do) great wonders, so that he maketh (will make) fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the Beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the (MAN)Beast, which had the wound by a Sword (by the Word of GOD), and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the Beast, that the image of the (MAN) Beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the Beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the NAME of the(MAN)Beast, or the number of his NAME.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast: for it is the number of a MAN; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Was Satan, son of perdition, born? Yes, he was, of course, decades ago. Don't you know that Satan has already been born? 2 Thessalonians 2:v.3-4 - Now, now, he was born decades ago and is about to manifest himself very soon, do you know where? It's good to know and be prepared for the battle.
Be careful and get ready.
