Michael,

The "shepherds" of Jesus' day were the priests, scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees, and the Sanhedrin, all religious leaders for the Jews in Jerusalem.

Jesus denounced them strongly again and again in his interactions with them saying they were leading these people sinfully. You can read of this in Matthew 23. Luke 11:37-54.

Page 1) The church is the body of Christ, we are told this in Eph 1:22-23 The word (church) is #1577; it means a calling out, to "call" aloud, bid, call (forth) (whose sur-) name was called. (So the church, the (body) of Christ will be called out, called (forth) to "call" aloud, that don't sound like a secret rapture does it?). Now in Col 3:12,15 We are told of the (elect) which also ye are (called) in one (body). The word (elect) is #1588; it means select, by implying favorite, chosen, elect, to select, make choice, choose (out) chosen. The word (called) is #2564; it means to "call" a loud, bid, call (forth) whose name was called. (So those who are called out are the elect, His chosen ones whose name He will call out loud.) Mk 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the (elect's) sake, WHOM HE HATH (CHOSEN), he hath shortened the days. The word (chosen) is #1586; it means to select, make choice, choose (out) chosen (The elect are His chosen ones) When will this calling out happen? 1Thes 4:16-17 Tells us the Lord will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God, and we will meet Him in the clouds. This would be when the church is called out, the calling aloud of His chosen ones the elect happens. In 1Thes 4:16-17 There are 3 main points to look at. (1) we meet Him (IN THE CLOUDS) (2) a (trumpet sound). (3) a (gathering together). Now look at Mt 24:29-31 We see a (1) (coming in the clouds) (2) a (sound of a trumpet) (3) a (gathering together, of His ELECT) These are the SAME EVENT! And it happens "IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION" Mt 24:39-42 Tells us one will be (taken) v,40 says "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be (taken), and the other left. The word (taken) is #3880; it means to receive near, i.e. associate with oneself (in any familiar or intimate act or relation), to assume an office. The word (intimate) means a familiar friend, See page 2.

Did Jesus ever warn the bad shepherd who misleads his flock, similar to Jeremiah 23: 1-4

Hi Ernie.

Please allow me to correct a mistake I made.

I mentioned to you to take

Luke 17:34-37 and Parallel it with Revelation 19:11-18 Focusing on vs 17. On your way to verse 17 notice verrse 14.

Revelation 19:14.

"And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN, WHITE AND CLEAN.

This is also prophesied in Jude 1:14.

These clothed in fine linen is the same group in

Revelation 19:7-8.

"Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

(8) And to her was granted that SHE SHOULD BE ARRAYED IN FINE LINEN, CLEAN AND WHITE: FOR THE FINE LINEN IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF SAINTS.

I left out one of the connecting verses. ( Vs 8.)

These are a few of the connecting verses why we believe the Church comes with Christ on his second coming.

Luke 17:37.

Revelation 19:17.

Jude 1:14.

Revelation 19:7-8.

God bless.

please remember me and my family in your prayers

1Kings 1:43 says king David anointed Solomon to be the next king of Israel. I would have been there as one of 50 men by Adonijah's side saying "Who cares what evil king David decreed?" "Who does God want to be king over Israel?" By this point in asking questions like this would have caused evil king Solomon to have your head off lopped off. Deeds not words. After reading through the Kings & Chronicles... I don't see a more evil trio than the murderous, adulteress king David, his adulteress, murderous wife Bathsheba & their kid Solomon. Hundreds of wives between them how many children did these two evil men spawn?

Am I missing something?

Sometimes I seriously wonder if I am truely saved. I still can't seem to break free from certain sinful habits. Also, I made numerous stupid sinful decisions in my youth, for which I will probably always have to deal with the consequences. I experience and enjoy very little of God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit on a daily practical basis. I am basically a barren wilderness, many times sad, depressed and confused on why I cannot rest fully satisfied in Jesus Christ.

please pray for a friend of mine, she is called Erin, she did self h@rm and I am concerned for her and also pray for her soul's salvation as well, I don't know if she is saved.

Will the Holy Spirit be here during the tribulation period? If I'm not mistaken I have heard many of those who believe in the pre-tribulation rapture say the Holy Spirit will leave the earth or be taken away at the same time the rapture of the church happens, and this will be before the tribulation period starts. So there would be no Holy Spirit on the earth for what they say will be a 7 year tribulation period. If we read Mk 13:3-11 we see Jesus answering the question of what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled, This is the same question asked in Mt 24:3 just worded in a different way. Mk 13:5,8,11 v.5 Tells us "take heed lest any man deceive you" (This is the first warning of Jesus, there will be much deception during this time period). v.8 Tells us that nation will rise against nation, it also says there will be famines and (troubles) this verse tells us these are the beginning of sorrows. Now Mk 13:11 Tells us we will be delivered up, and that we should take no thought beforehand what we shall speak , ((for it is not ye that speak but the Holy Spirit)). Just 3 verses after this in Mk 13:14 we see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not, this will start great tribulation, the last half of the 7 year period) If I'm wrong and this is not a pre-trib rapture belief then I do apologize for that. But if that is what pre-tribers believe then this is proof using Scripture that the Holy Spirit is on the earth during the first half of the tribulation period, which is called the beginning of sorrows. That would mean the Holy Spirit did not leave with the church, IF the church had been raptured before the tribulation.

please pray for me too be well mentally and not feel attacked by evil forces making me depressed and blurring my vision of what really going on in the world. I see colored dots around people and shades of colors. Please in the name of Jesus save me from my own understanding and guide me too my true place in the world.

I would just start practicing your gift. No need to announce anything. God bless...

You're welcome Gigi.

Jal,

Along with what Jesse said, those who take the mark of the beast will be expected or forced to worship the beast. Therefore, they will be idolators and non-believers in Jesus Christ. These will be what is used to condemn them to the lake of fire forever.

Christina, I would not tell others about your gift. I would just work with the Holy Spirit to utilize it properly. In time, id you do use it properly by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you may hear people tell you things like, "you are very discerning, or you show a lot of mercy (which is what the empathy is called). Hearing these things from others as you exercise these things properly will verify for you that these indeed are given to you by the Holy Spirit.

Thank you, S. Spencer

Certainly will Gigi.

God bless.

Hi Ernie.

I will give you my view and I will extend to vs 37.

vs 36-37 is where the answer is.

"Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, THITHER WILL THE EAGLES BE GATHERED TOGETHER.

Now parallel it with.

Revelation 19:11-18. "focusing on vs 17."

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

( vs14) And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN, WHITE AND CLEAN.

(Parallels with; Jude 1:14.)

Those clothed in fine linen is the same group in Revelation 19:7.

THIS GROUP IS THE BRIDE OF CHRIST. THE CHURCH!!

15) And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16) And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

17) And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the FOWLS THAT FLY IN THE MIDST OF HEAVEN, COME AND GATHER YOURSELVES TOGETHER unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

THIS GROUP IS TAKEN FOR JUDGMENT.

This is after the tribulation and the Church comes with him, They were raptured atleast 7 years prior.

Those left goes on into the Millennium. Those taken, Judgment as well in Matthew 24.

God bless.

Please be careful about what is called a gift. When a person has a gift, the gift giver would have provided answers to questions that are asked.

Tell no one, feeling for someone isn't a gift it's concern, care, or interest. I didn't say love because the scripture details that best.

Discernment is not for the young Christians. What I mean is mature Christians know that with that gift the Holy Spirit is very careful because to use this gift, a relationship with God's Holy Spirit is vital. Please tell no one and keep in mind the gift giver is really the one who we discuss matters with. The scripture has All the answers to your questions. Finding them Will take time in the Word and in prayer.

DDD

Understanding scripture is as important as remembering scripture. Please remember that our means are the same as Jesus in the wilderness when confronted with the devil. Jesus said, " It is written " than proceeded to quote scripture. In this Jesus pointed to His Father, and He reminds us to receive life, don't temp, and worship GOD.

Keep reading and planting the Word of God in yourself. This Word will work in ways that we all hoped for, as believers. Also please keep in mind that in doing so life will change, it might seem for the worse, but that is only a way of you knowing His Word is working.

It's a narrow road and few find it is worth walking. GOD'S richness to you.

DDD

Healing and strength for Bobbi A.

Healing and strength for Daniel Mattison and family.

In Jesus name. Amen.

Since i know my gifts are empathy and discernment. should i tell people? including unbelievers? who should i tell? how should i use them? i'm just discovering my gifts.

Hello again,

Our friend Jeff has been on hospice for 6 weeks for brain cancer. He is now pretty much unresponsive and in a lot of pain. It won't be too long before his life ends. My husband talked to Linda, his wife, and we may go over to visit in the next few days. Please pray for this opportunity to come to pass and that God will open the door for us to pray with Jeff and Linda and share from Scripture. They both need salvation.

Raynell, I am happy to pray for Andrea today.

Dear heavenly Father, we lift up to Andrea and ask in the name of Jesus that You bring healing to her body by removing this osteosarcoma from every area of her body, particularly in her bones. She is so young, give her a long healthy life, one that is in faith and service to You and one that is blessed with much hope and joy in living in and for you. Father, we know that you can do all things. This is why we ask believing this. We trust that Your perfect will will be accomplished in Andrea's life today and always. How you love her! May she know how much You do love her today. Amen.

Hello Adam.

We can have assurance from the account of Noah and from the passing over of the Israelites so as they were not afflicted with the plagues of Egypt nor the death of the firstborn. We can rest in God knowing how He parted the Red Sea to have the Israelites pass through on dry land and how God delivered the enemies in Canaan into the hands of the Israelites when the nation entered the promised land to possess all it as God promised (see Joshua 21:43) God fulfilled all fo the promised He had made to the Israelites ( Joshua 23:15)

God is faithful and able to preserve us or rescue us or make us stand in the day of trouble. But we also must remember that our Lord and Paul and Peter said that we will suffer also, be persecuted, arrested, tried legally, and martyred for His Name's sake. Jesus said we would be hated by men just as they hated himself. We should pray for God to prepare us for such hardships that He may allow us to experience. We certainly should pray that we will hold fast in the face of martyrdom.

The fire that brings destruction spoken of in Peter's epistles is pretty disturbing to consider, but I think this firs is intended for the evil unbelievers, not for the believers. When Jesus returns once again with a shout, with the trumpet call, with the voice of an archangel, with a tempest like lightening, with exceeding brightness and manifest glory, we will look up, as He instructs us in Luke 21:28 for our redemption is come. we will be changed (if alive at this time) or resurrrected, if we have died. At that time, we will be glorified and can no longer be harmed by anything that comes upon the earth! Hallelujah!

Adam, I will pray for you as you seek to find out the truth of Scriptures concerning the end times, as I pray that for myself, too.

I plan to believe everything that is plainly and explicitly taught in Scripture concerning the return of Christ and what happens before that, and also not readily embrace ideas that are not.

what's the meaning of fasting and prayers?

why do we fast?
