A nation, a people who are chosen and yet deny him, even with evidence of a past full of His mercy, while he continues judging separating the sheep from the goats, keeping the hope alive for the next generation!
Do you recognize this judgment that comes from above, do you understand still what He is done for you? What does He mean when He says " will He find faith on the earth when He returns?"
A People who have not learned from the sin of the past, will repeat it in the future. Many there be who still plead with Him, asking for forgiveness .
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."
This is the resurrection and the life, for all mankind, for the world!
( Revelation 5:9-11) alludes to the 144k reigning on the earth.
9 And they sung a NEW SONG, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
*ten thousand times ten thousand = 100k, and thousands of thousands = 44 = 144k
( Revelation 14:2-4) confirms it's the 144k from Revelation 5.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a NEW SONG before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
Now the question becomes, what are the 144k doing at the seal opening when they themselves are sealed much later, before the day of the Lord, ( Revelation 7)? I notice a lot of 'first shall be last and last shall be first' patterns in Revelation. I got a feeling that that's what's happening here, it is esoteric. A grand mystery always unfolding.
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?
I would like to share this with you, take it or leave it. But it seems like we are being persecuted and attacked more and more these days, not just here, but in general. What comes to mind is Saul's life prior to the Lord calling him. He persecuted believers relentlessly. In Acts chapter 9, it tells us that while he was traveling to Damascus, this light and voice came down from heaven, causing him to fall to the ground. The voice said to him, "Saul, Saul, why persecutes though me?
What in the world is that all about? I mean Saul was persecuting believers, not Jesus. But Jesus said "Why are you persecuting me?" Saul says, who are you, Lord? Saul knows he is experiencing divine intervention but he doesn't know who He is. He says, Lord, who are you? And the Lord says I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.
In the Greek text, there's emphasis in both places. He says "I myself am Jesus, and you yourself are persecuting me." You are directly persecuting me. You are responding to me in my people. And then Jesus told Saul it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. The Greek word for "pricks" means both a cattle prod and a bee sting. Saul knew what it meant, and it made him madder. What would make him so mad? I can see him being mad enough to chase the Christians out of Jerusalem, but to travel 135 miles to Damascus on foot just to round up believers and bring them back to Jerusalem bound, that's seems like borderline obsession.
So the Lord says I myself am Jesus whom you yourself are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the prods, and He's telling him that's what it's like to get stung by a bee, every time you come across a Christian, and that sting just irritates you, and you just want to "rub them out." It brings things into perspective when we are the ones being persecuted, but Jesus says it is Him they are persecuting. Why? Because they are not attacking us, they are attacking Christ who is in us!
What does the Bible say about homosexuality / Lebanism and the supporting scriptures.

Comment: Only our Father knows the timing. The angels don't know. Jesus doesn't know.
Why do we think we can figure it out? Where were you in 1988?
Someone set a date. nothing happened. He is not going to allow anyone to call it. Period. Move along.
How about those Four Horsemen? Someone said the other day (radio). That the order of their appearances works backward. That is JESUS on the white horse. To me, that makes more sense.
The four horsemen are described as Satan's army, Conquest, War, Famine and Death.
Four figures in the Book of Revelation who symbolize the evils to come at the end of the world: They are often called the Four horsemen of the Apocalypse:
We've got War, Famine and Death (world-wide pandemics), right now. Any nations in the world do not have enough food. Fact.
We have wars!
We need to pray for rain. My Bible says in the Book of Job, that God controls the storehouses of rain and snow. So why don't we pray for some? Like every day...
What was the time of day when Jesus gave up the ghost?
Are these two dates 42 months apart, to the minute?
thank you and peace be with y'all
Look at this piece of the mystery, then tell me about it.
Revelation 7 begins with the 144K being sealed for 42 months (vs 4), immediately after this (vs 9) 42 months have passed, and the 144k are in heaven (vs 14). These 144k are the only firstfruits ever spoken of. Their purpose is far greater than what they are given credit for simply because they are concealed in allegory.
( Revelation 7:4) And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
vs 9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with WHITE ROBES, and palms in their hands;
vs 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Two witnesses are the 144k in heaven ( Revelation 11:12) ( 1 Thessalonians 4:17) ( Revelation 14:1-4)
There's more to reveal between the 144K and the fifth seal saints:
( Revelation 6:9-11) And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And WHITE ROBES were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
A little season = fifth seal-seventh trumpet
( Revelation 7:13) And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in WHITE ROBES? and whence came they? (fellowservants)
144k = ( Revelation 7:15)
What des this teach us about god?
What does this teach about us?
How do we obey?
