    Hi Chris,

    I get lost online but time constraints are understandable. I'm retired but because I'm more busy now than I was when working, and don't want interruptions I watch from midnight on!

    Robert Breaker videos are only one component

    More for open minded and possible decrypting

    Seeing charts, ideas , math , codes, signs, wonders, etc.

    In college : 2 minds are better than one, 3 better than 2 and so on.

    This is in my opinion only about people turning it off or walking away and not from this video but any teachings of the word.

    They may be turning away because they are too busy with other things.

    Would that be a falling away? Idk.

    This is an add on in chart form, more detailed look at it from the "Keys & Codes" to understanding of the signs and wonders, nothing etched in stone all possibilities for the open minded to ponder.

    AoC network, Jerren Lewis does the visual, great for my grandchildren's understanding and younger crowd, teens.

    I started with Gary Hamrick Revelation_Series

    I tend to stay with Gary Hamrick, Jack Hibbs, Dr David Jeremiah who has many brief analysis videos for time restricted and a few others I mentioned in a recent post.

    AoC network Jerren Lewis makes awesome videos for the younger ones, my teen grandkids and also teaches how to interpret the lingo, Greek, Latin, etc.

    I loved Breaker's videos because they are open to the decrypting of the signs, wonders, the math cosmic, again no exact dates they are estimated close enough for one to accept or brush off.

    The choice of faith is ours to believe or not and when we believe and are let down, this is the test of our faith, IMHO.

    I believe Jesus is coming around 2030 ish.

    If he doesn't come, I'm not joining Satan's cult.

    I may even be off by a 1000 years but according to His word and Bible prophecy, the signs are here, the Heifers are in, waiting for the trumpet to sound or perhaps a 3rd temple first, idk but my lamps are full
  • Lisanne - In Reply on Revelation 12 - 1 year ago
    I love your reply, open dialogue. Because I'm unable to detail what I post due to the rapture would happen before I finished. I could go on forever as this is like hunting for a treasure with limitless treasures to be found and no ending.

    Pertaining to Robert Breaker teachings, if you listen closely, he will state and demonstrate with charts in his opinion and ask how many coincidences to make one think; is it or isn't it?

    Then he will make comments saying he doesn't know, could it be, etc. he does move fast and is definitely a critical thinker.



    I put things together from several sources , each Bible teacher, pastor, phd, scholar, etc., that I choose to listen to must fit my criteria and that is teaching from this book, period.

    What Robert Breaker does with his math & charts would most likely be meaningless to me if I didn't listen to Sr. Pastor Gary Hamrick, Cornerstone Chapel, Dr David Jeremiah, the late Dr Ed Hindson, Pastor Jack Hibbs, Jerren Lewis (AoC network) and, David C. Pack's video "Understanding the Book of Revelation"(rcg.org), was a powerful video for me by explaining how one needs the "Keys" to unlock the "Codes"

    otherwise the reading is meaningless.

    Being a bit slow at "getting it" this video should be the first thing for newer Christians or old ones like myself who didn't read the Bible because as Pack stated in the video, one needs for understanding

    Hamrick's Revelation_Series Intro, he states this is one of the hardest subjects to teach, he clearly states it's heavy stuff.

    For me, all the above compliment each other. *Strangely* on one of Breaker's videos about end times, he stopped at 1997 (the church ages) He started at 0 (crucifixion) IDKY, *something* made me add "33" to 1997. Jesus' age at death, it came to *2030*. Breaker is demonstrating, not etched in stone, he only displays charts of his own critical thinking (CT)raises some decoding possibilities.

    Nobody knows the day or hour but the signs & seasons are given.

    Hello again Giannis and Jesse,

    Also John 4:1-2 also says that Jesus baptized disciples and that His disciples also baptized. So I believe that Jesus baptized His called disciples and the disciples baptized other disciples.
  • GIGI - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Hello Giannis and Jesse,

    John 4:22-23 speaks of Jesus baptizing when John the Baptist was baptizing also. John directed people towards Jesus saying, He must increase and I must decrease. Perhaps this was when Jesus baptized His disciples or maybe another time that Jesus was baptizing in water. Jesus set the example by being baptized, but also most likely did with baptizing the disciples and others as a regular practice.. Most likely the disciples had seen Him baptize others often or each other being baptized. So when He commanded them to baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the disciples must have known well what He meant and how baptism was done.

    A moral quandary:

    If you or your family are in physical danger, would God judge us for misleading (or possibly lying to) the attacker to avoid the danger?

    1 Peter 3:9-12

    I'd have a hard time offering up a family member to an attacker just for the sake of 100% honesty. Anyone have any thoughts on this or ever faced with such a situation?

    Pt 3

    Jesse

    Well it is obvious that w/baptism was something very important that had to be done immediately after one believes with no delay at all. Whether one believes it is a matter of salvation or not we can agree about the importance of w/baptism.

    (Water baptizm is a "must", it is not a choice. It must be done without delay after new birth. It is a landmark which denotes the death of the old sinful man and the resurrection of the new godly man. It is the end of the old sinful course in life and the begining of the new godly life. It must be done. My belief)

    So I assume (and it is a very good assumption which relys on the scriptures) that the apostles must had been water baptized. If they were so persistive to others to do it, do you think that they themselves avoided it? Would they had avoided doing something that Jesus ordered?

    Also for me it is not logical at all that they baptized others when they themselves avoided it. That would have been a contradiction.

    So a good conclusion is that they were all born again and were water baptized. That is my perception when studying the scriptures.

    You wrote, "But if we're talking about logic, how would it be logical for God to place His Spirit in someone, and then turn around and remove His Spirit from them so Satan can enter in, as in the case of Judas?".

    What makes you think that Judas had the Spirit of God in him. That was done at Pentecost and Judas was already dead.

    I'll come back here tomorrow Jesse. Thanks. Maybe we have tired the other folks about Judas?

    Pt 2. Jesse

    Next. Were the apostles born again when Jesus was with them? John 13:10, "Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.". So they were "clean". That means they were already born again and saved. Judas here is not called clean not because he wasn't saved but because he was already sinning. How do we know that? Because Jesus washed Judas feet as well, but not Judas' whole body.

    So they were saved. Were they w/baptized?

    There are so many cases in Acts that show how important water baptism is. The apostles always asked believers to be water baptized as soon as they believed.

    1) The incident with Phillip and eunuch,

    2) Peter preaching at Pentecost, Acts 2:38, "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.",

    3) the incident with Cornelius, Acts 10:47, "Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?",

    4) Philipp in Samaria, Acts 8:12, "But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.",

    5) Paul himself, Acts 9:18, "And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized."

    6) Paul with the disciples in Ephessus, Acts 19:3, "And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism"

    7) And most important of all is the commadment Jesus gave to apostles before His departure, Matthew 28:19, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost"

    Pt 1

    Hello Jesse

    About Judas. You said that Jesus selected him although He knew he was a thief so that the prophesy will be fulfilled. It doesn't sound right to me. Why would Jesus do that? Do you think that the only solution for Him to be led to the cross was Judas? Or do you believe that Judas was the one and only one solution available to Jews to capture Jesus? Of course if Judas was not present they would have found another way to capture Jesus, any other way, anytime in the future. They would never let Him free for ever, that's for sure. They could have sent their servants to capture Jesus after passover (so no need to fear the people) without having to bribe Judas. Jesus' ministry was over so He wouldn't go away like he had done before. But instead of that Jesus prefered the "Judas solution"? Well, I can not believe that. But all that is an imaginary senario.

    But let's go through another path. You must be a bit patient to follow me.

    Water baptism. What is water baptism? Among others it is a formal confession of faith to Jesus. When is it done? Definetely after one believes.

    When that eunuch asked Phillip to be water baptized Phillip asked him, Acts 9:36-37, "And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.".

    So the requirement for one to be eligible to be w/baptized is to believe in Jesus with all his heart, which means a real and sincere faith. So baptism of infants is not valid since they can not understand, believe, repent, etc.

    So we can agree that w/baptism succeeds new birth. Right?

    No man has the power to place a curse on anyone. He also does not have the power to judge. Our Father is the only Judge, and he does not need any help from us. Christ Jesus has given us power over "all our enemies, including Satan!" ( Matt. 10:1) You can also live with knowing he will get everything he has coming to him.

    I'm 15 years old and I'm at a great point in my life. I'm currently attending a private Christian boarding school. I'm on track to graduate high school early and either join the United States Marine Corps or United States Navy and become a Navy SEAL. There's a beautiful girl I plan to marry when I'm older.

    Truth be told, I have very strong Christian faith and devotion and a great relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior, but I used to struggle with faith all the time when I was younger, but I met two amazing women who led me to Christ, and I owe these women my life. I thank God for them every day.

    Thank you, Ms. Bonita and Ms. Renae

    I just moved from Idaho to California. I've been here for about a week and a half. I'm currently staying on a small boat that's really quite small. Staying here is draining my budget, among other things. Please, pray that I get connected to resources here in California(it's in the San Francisco Bay Area). I'm on Social Security Disability, so I need the resources for that here in California. Plus, I need a place to stay here in the area, either the San Francisco Bay Area, or in Sacramento, whichever might be best. Anyway, I just really need the hook up in getting housing and other resources here in California for Social Security Disability. Please, pray for that! Thank you very much. In addition, I'd like to go to school for coding, so you may pray for that as well. However God wants to work it out for me - whatever He has in mind, just please pray for that. Thank you, again. I'm hoping I can go to a coding school that has housing on campus, if there is one in the area with housing on campus. I'm really not sure if that's going to happen, but whatever happens, I have got to get connected to Social Security and resources in this area!

    Ronald thank you for your response and for that information. As far as us getting older being the cause for this happening, I don't think that's the case here as many of those I have spoken to about this are much younger than I am. Many people from many different age groups are telling me the same thing, ages of people in their 20s to ages of people in to their 80s are all saying the same thing. Time is speeding up and seems to be going faster and faster every day. Only God could have control of this! I really do appreciate your comment on this Ronald. God Bless you.
  • S Spencer - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Hi John Ray.

    If you're going through some trials and declare yourself a wimp, Join the crowd.

    The Apostles had to learn this lesson as well. We see it in the Apostle Peter.

    Our strength is in the Lord.

    Psalms 28:7-8.

    Listen to Paul here in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

    Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

    God bless you.
  • Ronald Whittemore - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Hey Jimbob,

    My understanding. Time is constant our perception of it is not, it changes as we age. There are different explanations for why, like the percentage of our life is less ahead than behind, our mind receives fewer images, and more. I am in my 70s and I can say that time now is far faster than when I was younger.

    My grandmother who was born in the 1800s and lived to be 103 said in laughter when she was 100 she could dose off and awake a year older. If you are getting older your perception of it will change. We can do things that will help like change routines, and reflect on things we see, read, and other things. Also, look at the progression of the world, The world is getting smaller every day.

    The only thing I have found in the Bible that time may have changed is in Isaiah 38:8. If you look at history, calendars around the world changed around that time. If you do the math 10 degrees is the difference between 365.24 and 360-day-year. The Babylonian numerical system was 6 and 60-based, the number we still use to divide the sky: 360 degrees in a circle. Many other things are based on 360 like measurements, angles, sums, etc.

    Some think it will change back before the end due to the times in Revelation. I don't know about that.

    God bless.

    Free Thank you for your response. I have not heard anyone say this until probably the last few years. But it really does seem to be getting faster and faster everyday now. I am just trying to see if everyone is experiencing the same thing. Thanks again Free. Love and Blessings to you.
  • Jimbob - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Chris Thank you for responding. I was really just curious to see if this is happening with everybody, and every where. As I said in one of my comments before everybody I know or have talked to about this have said the same thing, that they do think time is going much faster now and it seems to be getting faster every day. This would have to be connected somehow to the End-time prophecies if it is truly happening, as only God Almighty could control such a thing. As for myself and many others that I know including many pastors, it is truly happening. I do see this as a sign, and also as a proof from God that we are living the Lastdays. Thank you again Chris. God Bless you.

  • Tunney on Joshua 7 - 1 year ago
    Many times we miss the fact that Achan and his family weren't the only ones killed because of his sin of taking the "accursed things."

    36 men also lost their lives because of Achan's sin. People believe their actions do not affect others.

    1 Corinthians 10: 11, 12

    Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

    The leadership was also at fault for not praying and asking for directions before going to the city of AI. Instead, they were puffed up with their victory over a bigger and larger city of Jericho. Joshua sent spies to the city of AI. They returned and reported v3 "...but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few." Our mind set should be as David when he told Goliath that battle is the LORD'S.

    There are many things we don't have to pray for, such as should I read the Bible and pray every day. Or must I give an offering and confess and repent daily. There are also many things we should always be in prayer for. Lost souls, evil and wicked leadership, ungodly character, lies and untruths in all sectors and levels of society.

    FATHER Help us to draw nigh to the LORD at all times, that we may be right with YOU at all times. GOD'S word tells how to be able to know the difference between good and evil in order to glorify and praise HIM.

    GOD bless us all gloriously and shine HIS face upon all on this forum.

  • Chris - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Hi Jimbob. I'm assuming that your question is connected with the subjects that you're presently in discussion with others, i.e. of an eschatological nature. I doubt if you're querying the speed of the Earth's rotation & orbit around the sun, which if so, would also have catastrophic results on all living - maybe not unlike some of the characteristics of the Great Tribulation.

    Unfortunately, my perspective of the world's events is based only upon the duration of my life that is shared in both these centuries. And yes, they seem to be occurring more often, more intense, & with greater human spiritual & moral depravity. But then again, the world today is far more advanced in acquiring & disseminating information on the condition of people & govts in other countries & the condition of the natural world (e.g. cyclones, earthquakes, etc.). So, I often wonder whether it would be right to base my judgement on what I've seen & heard thus far & not take into account what our fathers, grandfathers, & those before them also experienced. They too might have thought that Jesus' Coming was nigh, or at least that we're on the cusp of the outpouring of God's Wrath (depending on which camp they were in). And then again, I would have to factor in that some days, many days, are much busier than others. When as a single man, my life went on at a much slower regulated pace, but with a wife who loves to travel & have more interactions with folk than I could want or handle on my own, the days do seem to move along at a good clip. And yes, one third of the year has already gone by; so to use the oft-quoted exclamation, "where has this year gone?"

    Hi everyone, some thoughts come to me as I read.

    1. What Judas did, he did before the devil came in him. Jesus decided this. This was meant from the beginning.

    2. HE knows about everything because he has planned everything.

    3. If one is the bone of one's life to be a thief and constantly fall back on that sin, do we know that God is faithful yet and will forgive.

    3. God knows our hearts. Same what!

    I bevive that all who Confess sin, will be forgiven of the Highest Lord Jesus Christ. He has a room for Judas becouse He was one of the Disciples. There is grace over grace.

    Jesus come with love and peace.

    Love u all in Christ. Ephesians 3 chapter

    Dear "Jimbob". I would venture to say that the days are getting shorter. Some ppl have been doing this since the 2000s began.

    Why am I not entirely sure.

    But others certainly have answers. Nice end-time question.

    Love you in Christ. Ephesians 3 chapter.
  • Chris - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Good answers brother Jesse. I've been observing your interactions here & elsewhere, but kept out of it so that your attention be focussed. But just popping in here now, to make some general observations, but not necessarily seeking comments.

    a. Judas' spiritual condition. I believe that none of the twelve were Christians. They may have portrayed that name (Christian) by following Jesus & being discipled by Him, but could not be considered to be Christians as defined post Acts chap 2. When Jesus sent them out to the lost sheep of Israel, He gave them power for that specific ministry & time ( Matthew 10:1-8), just as certain people in the OT received God's Spirit to accomplish their tasks ( Numbers 11:25-27; Othniel, Judges 3:10; Gideon, Judges 6:34; Jephthah, Judges 11:29; Isaiah 59:21; & many more) - none of these were permanently indwelt by the Spirit, but the Spirit was given by God for a special purpose. As you mentioned, Judas & the other eleven were all sinners, but the day would come when they would be transformed (except Judas who suicided), & do great exploits in Jesus' Name.

    b. Water baptism. After the twelve (now Matthias is included here) had the Holy Spirit come upon them, and in them & baptized them with the evidence of speaking in 'unlearned' tongues, were these apostles ever water baptized? I never recall any of them writing of that event taking place in their lives. Of course, Paul did, but he was not of the twelve, as "one born out of due time", but were the twelve ever baptized in water? Jesus had left them before this time, so He couldn't do it and there was no one else that was born again at that time to do it, so I wonder what happened. Some maintain that they were definitely baptized, but there's no evidence of it, & if not baptized, then the apostles would have still baptized others. Or I've heard, that they baptized each other, which doesn't make sense as their testimony was the same. So maybe an unbaptized believer can baptize another.
  • GIGI - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Giannis, I know that you are sleeping now, but I wanted to respond by thanking you for such a good response. We do not have it all figured out, but we have Jesus, and that is what it is ALL about. Bless you tonight. I look forward to hearing from you again.
