1 Corinthians 13:1-13
1. Though I speak with the tongues of man and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or tinkling cymbal.
2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understanding all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5. Doth not behave itself for unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecy, they shall fail; whether there be tongues they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9. For we know in part, and we prophecy in part.
10. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12. For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three, but the greatest of these is charity.

Galatians 1:4-5 Amen. Galatians 1:3.
Ephesians 2:11-17
11. Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12. That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenant of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13. But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15. Having abolished his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinance; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16. And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17. And came and preached peace to you which were a far off, and to them that were nigh.
18. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Ephesians 2:1-10
1. Any you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sin,
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:
3. Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lust of our flesh; fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love where with he loved us,
5. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ (by grace ye are saved;)
6. And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7. That in the ages to come he might shew exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is gift of God:
9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Lord we thank You that our names are written in the Lambs book of life!
Happy Happy dance!
You are WORTHY to be praised!
In Jesus name.
These instances, God opens the doors that allow just enough darkness in, that we might see if only a shadow of things as they are, and the things to come!
How loving He is, giving us a glimpse of His power and glory! Redeeming us every second of every day! That we have an escape, If only for moment, as He allows us to know the power of His glory! Is, real, as the life we have in Him!
You see, this is how He works! This is how He strengthens the soul! This is the manna from heaven! This is the bread of life!
Temptation God allows. He is the one that allows Satan. The Father's will is to make us stronger!
Christ knows His own word! He knows the power of it! He knows that the laws of heaven and earth rotate and evolve from it! He knows all things!
Satan must follow after, if only for a little while! Soon to be frustrated once again, only by the power of His word!
We should always reflect on these things, these things that our Lord DIED for. We once again inherit the knowledge of knowing the truth! The wisdom to know the difference between reflective faith, and actual faith! How temptation reveals Satan's weakness's and strengthens us! The soul that believes will never be conquered! The soul of those who obey His word!
Thanks be to our Lord Jesus Christ!
Repent and be Baptized
I ask also that the Lord gives you a heartfelt praise in your heart for Him. The Lord is great and greatly to be praised!
God bless you and keep you. In Jesus name.
The theory that the millenium started since the begining of the church era and stretches till nowadays (and goes further on) is not new. It is a doctrine in Eastern Orthodox Chistianity. They believe that the 1000 year period is not a litteral period of time but it is figurative. and all events described are also figurative
Why do they think that? They rely on the verses in 2 Peter 3:8-10. "(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. (9) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.(10) But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."
In verse 10 it says that the day of the Lord will come when everything (ie earth and sky) will be burned away. But that time occurs at the end of the millenium.( Revelation 21:1).It is when everything old goes away and new earth and heavens are created. So they consequently reject the theory of a pretribulation rapture.
What could be the answer to that? A possible answer (that my church believe is right) is that what is called "the day of Lord" is not literally a day or a specific time but a period of time. A period during which all the events leading to the complete ending of this world will take place, stretching from the pretribulation rapture to the White Throne. It seems that there is no other solution since we have to combine 3 different events in one "day". (a)The rapture, which for me is clear enough that will take place when things in the world are still going well. (b)The second coming of Jesus on earth. We know that time, it is at the end of the 7th week. (c)The distruction of the old universe.
On his recovery from his sickness, Hezekiah said ( Isa. 38:20) The LORD was gracious to save me: therefore we will sing my
songs [of the Degrees ] to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
2 Kings 20
Isaiah 38
Thank you very much for your encouraging words, and prayers. I appreciates this. Amen, the LORD will always be with me//us. I keep on seeking Him as you said. Amen, He is faithful.
God bless you in Christ Jesus Name, amen.
Herbert wrote this thesis, over one hundred pages in length, & is therefore is too long for close examination here. So, I offer this not to present which view is correct as well as info coming from extra-biblical sources, but to state that the present view held by many that 'the rapture theory was developed only in recent times' is not quite correct. It may have become more widely talked about, preached & believed in many Churches latterly, but from Church history, we can see that this subject was never far out of the minds of those of the post-first century Church. If this document is too long to read, then Chapter 4 gives an adequate summary, evaluation & conclusion to his thesis.
I want to post it to social media directly to them. I just posted the clip of Brazil all praying together on Twitter to these leaders mentioned below. I want to post a prayer to them from me but a prayer worded from you please.
Putin
Biden
Trudeau and more.
They are EVIL following a WEF genda of AI brain implants, jabbing innocent people and children with death shots.
Thanks ,

Isn't the real question whether someone believes 1 Thessalonians 4:17 or not?
I agree that the verse in Thessalonians speaks of the resurrection of the dead and the tranformation of those alive when Jesus returns (now termed the rapture). The pre-tribulation rapture with Jesus coming (the 2nd time) and then coming again on the Last Day (a third time) is what Darby (and modern dispensationalism) promotes. It was not the teaching of the church prior to the 1800's that this event would precede the tribulation. I do not think it is supported by Scripture either. Jesus' Words say that He will return a second time on the Last Day and that is when the resurrection and translation will occur.
That makes sense since Jerusalem, especially the Temple, was built on a hill, a southern extension of a mountain.
Dear Heavenly Father, We lift up Robert before Your throne tonight and ask that You do the work of salvation within Him by Your Holy Spirit and the true preaching of the Gospel, Father, no one can come to salvation unless You draw them to You through Jesus. So, we ask that You draw Robert to be reconciled to You. I pray the same for my sons Brian, Robert, and Kevin.
Father, we lift up Lilly before Your throne and ask that You deliver her from drug abuse. We ask that You draw her to You also and bring your salvation to her through Your Spirit and the Gospel of Jesus. Help Terri to know how to follow the promptings of your Spirit to witness to these she loves and deliver to them the Gospel of Your Son, Jesus, Who is our Savior. Help Terri to believe that the Gospel preached is empowered by the holy Spirit to bring on to faith in Jesus and His work of salvation for us. ( Romans 1:16). Give both Terry and I the courage to speak the Truth of Jesus in the Gospel message to our loved ones. Create the opportunities for us to do so, Father, for we know You love them as You love us and desire for them to be saved. We ask all this in the name of Jesus. Thank You Father, for Your answers to these our prayers. We leave them with You tonight and trust You. Amen.
