The abomination of desolation has nothing to do with the beast in Revelation? WHAT? That's his signature move, he destroys Babylon, he tells the world who he is on that day. Did you ever read about it? ( Isaiah 13)( Isaiah 47)( Revelation 18).
Allow the Bible to define itself for you; you'll have a better understanding of the big picture inside a bigger picture.
Did you know that when you bid God speed to some one in error you are guilty of the same sin ?
If you are totally in the same understanding I can except your brother hood as real , have you been going to the same church many years or is it just loose talk ?
Among other things, I am a philosopher thinker, I've read through the Bible a hundred times, even a thousand times for the books I love. I devote time to know God's plan, and God is showing me that mine is a personal mission. Fact is, I could be in the order of a saint, and post the future I've seen, and that message would not be headed due to bias or preconceived notions. Then again, how can I blame you for not understanding what you don't know? The Holy Spirit doesn't readily open up ears and minds for it did, we would have more in common.
The real solution isn't Scripture read as a remedy, but how to share and understand each other from what we know. I call it: 'confusion of Biblical tongues that collide and divide'. How does someone change their views when their hearts are hardwired to false doctrine? Arranging and posting opinions has honed my Biblical skills considerably, made my Spirit clearer.
The seven year tribulation starts when the anti-Christ is able to work out a peace treaty between Israel and her Arab enemies that will permit Israel to rebuild their Temple ( Daniel 9:27).
The first half of the seven years is milder in comparison to the second half when the anti-Christ takes over world power. After 3.5 years, the anti-Christ breaks his agreement with Israel, takes over the newly rebuilt temple, ends the sacrifice and offerings, and appoints himself as god ( 2 Thessalonians 2:4). For more detail, click.
Then everyone on earth will experience worldwide hardships, disasters, famine, hail, fire, water turning to blood, a third of the sun, moon, and stars being struck down, smoke that darkens the sun and the sky, attacks of locusts on those who do not have God's mark, war, pain, and suffering. At this time, over 66% of all human life on the earth will be eliminated before the Second Coming of Christ takes place. For a better description of the horrors, fears, terror, and deaths of the tribulation, read Revelation, chapters 6 through 11.
God's furious anger against mankind
Starting in Revelation 6, we see the first time since the great flood that God releases His anger against all of mankind. Starting with the seven seals of destruction and death, the seven trumpets of terror, seven angels with seven plagues, and the seven bowls of God's wrath. The timing of these retributions against evil appears to occur during the end of the tribulation.
What is happening in Israel now?
You are getting ahead of yourself, and the people living on earth want to know exactly what 7th trumpet you're talking about? That new age philosophy lingo can't transport me to another dimension. I'm sure you can explain your position from a philosophical standpoint, but it's still not a practical position. The remaining trumpets will come and go like clockwork: the beast will defeat Babylon, the Lord will defeat the beast. The end must play out completely to fulfill scripture here on earth.
The prophets saw these things and wrote about them, in their time, in their primal words, but several elements are yet to happen in our realm. Our realm is showing signs of Jonah, we are one attack and an earthquake away from the rusty wire giving way. Jesus told us to watch by day and whole nights for the words of the prophets are being fulfilled. Christians need to watch, and stay diligent unto the 7th trumpet.
God bless
1 Peter 5:13 has nothing to do with the Babylonian empire, or America, or the end-times. This particular Babylon was a church in Rome. Your deduction shows holes in your spiritual armor, doubly to think you have prophetic scripture in order. I see you are popular. Perhaps you might consider studying the subject before committing to error.
How much of the mystery do you want God to give away so you can understand what His word means? Do you expect God to print that "America is Babylon" in the Bible? No, he makes you figure it out. God has placed clews in plain sight for you to figure it out.
If you can't differentiate between the last 3 trumpet events, know where they fall, I suggest you start assigning events to trumpets. You will see that the 5th trumpet begins tribulation, the 6th trumpet begins great tribulation, and the 7th trumpet ends the mystery.
I know you will find Isaiah through Malachi to include Revelation a hit. It's a sound investment for the future.
I have a few things for you:
1) The "last week" prophesy is split between a span of 2,000 years.
It's not 7 consecutive years, but 2 prophetic, 3.5 year segments, drawing on each other.
This is the Order:
-Jesus Christ received the first half of the week during his ministry (3.5 years), THEN,
-At the sixth trumpet antichrist receives the second half of the week (3.5 years) = 7 years total.
-At the seventh trumpet Jesus returns to rule the earth for 1,000 years.
2) ( 1 Thessalonians 17) "Being snatched away" and other like scriptures is only about the 144K, they are the only ones standing with Christ on Mount Olives ( Revelation 14:4), they are the only ones standing in front of the throne after being resurrected ( Revelation 11:11). The 144K are practically treated like Christ, because they are the bride.
( Revelation 20:4-5)
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Do you see how the 144K came out of the great tribulation (saints), and the rest of the dead slept (us)? The first resurrection is solely for the first fruits, who are with Christ for 1,000 years.
3) The 144K are not Jews, they are Christians of 12 tribes; even the 3 tribes of Judah are Christians worshiping Christ. The 144K are referred to as The house of Israel (Christians), not house of Judah.
The end-time scriptures uncover the mystery of the end, tied in to the OT prophets. The Bible reveals hidden secrets, they're there for the taking. Let me know of any end-time event questions you have, I will be here to help.
The beast is to America what Persia was to Babylon, what Assyria was to Egypt, etc. According to God, Kingdoms rise taking turns at being number one on the world stage. If Babylon is Rome, then who will attack and destroy Rome? Who'll be fighting who? Antiquity changes location over hundreds of years through modern day rivals that complete prophesy.
God topples kingdoms, not churches. Who's going to miss Rome as opposed to the fall of America? Why do the merchants weep for Rome? Thomas Jefferson fashion US govt buildings after Roman architecture. Does the Vatican have a powerful army? Where did the power and likeness of Rome go? Who has been on top and is now being challenged by others, like Russia, China? The US couldn't get anymore closer to Rome if they tried.
Read Jeremiah 50 & 51 for America's prophesy in action. Rome as end-time Babylon is too obvious a ploy, so God likened Mystery Babylon to America. Why hold on to America, the war whore, like it's the only world you have?
Anyone can see it is America at the top, soon to bring the battle home, marking its desolation. The world has it out for America, and it will be taken with violence, a sacrifice. Only when America falls will antichrist be revealed.
Are you serious? Accurate according to your 'spirit of the truth' compass... Are you going to be the first to be raptured out before Jesus comes like a thief to lay the land desolate? Only you know.
Verse 2 Spirit of God moved
verse 3 The word of God
Can you see the difference?
The Spirit and word came from the source God .
God initiated it .
I know many may not understand, but this is how God himself creates .
He alone decides and then creates , through his word and spirit .
The Spirit and word are sent by God and are of God . But God by himself wills it to be done by his purposes and pleasure. None can resist his will . Getting to know him is so amazing . But you have to get through all the lies that have been set for years . Thank God for the Bible !
To those who faithfully are witnesses to the saving grace of God and lead souls to Jesus. This crown has also been named the SOUL WINNERS crown. Itindicates here that God will be giving a crown to those who have witnessed toothers and leading people to Christ.Telling others about the grace of God, telling others about Jesus, is the greatest thing that you can do for someone while here on this earth. When you help someone to be led to the Lord, you have just been used as a vessel of God. It says in the Bible,"Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holy and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:" 1 Thessalonians 2:10 God will judge you by your willingness and desire to be used by Him to witness to others, not necessarily on how many actually get saved, because we are to water and He gives the increase.Christians can be used by God to try to lead others to the Lord. God can fit opportunities for you in your life to witness and work for Him if you allow Him to. Some could be your unsaved friends, family members or co-workers, etc. The Bible says it good here,"For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of ourLord Jesus Christat his coming?" 1 Thessalonians 2:19
This is also called the imperishable crown. This crown is given to believers who faithfully run the race, who crucify every selfish desire in the flesh and point men to Jesus. God calls some people to do things that will require some sacrificein the way they will live and conduct their lives. Some people may be called to be a missionary in a far off and poor country. They will literally be working for almost nothing in earthly terms. They will have to sacrifice the money, possessions and life-style they could have had, if they stayed home in their own country. The Bible says,"Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible." 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 This verse also implies that these people will also receive this crown for the sacrifices they were willing to make for God to successfully complete the call and mission God had called them to do.Basically run whatever race that God has set out for you and be the best you can be for God. Be willing to make whatever sacrifices there may be to successfully complete the mission that God has set out for you.
Can you tell me more about this statement below, and where in scripture is it located?
"We note, also, the SPIRIT of GOD left Jesus, the Man, in the garden of Gethsemane, otherwise Jesus could never have died on the cross."
I have a theory that Jesus' 42 months of power ran out just before his crucifixion. Jesus may have died more man than we know, similar to antichrist losing his power at the 7th trumpet to Christ.
Does anyone know the time of day Jesus was baptized, around 3 pm? If, in fact Jesus was baptized at 3 pm, thus beginning his ministry, his time would have expired at 3 pm, 42 months later. So, Jesus on the cross was stripped of his direct power to God. I believe this is one of the reasons why Jesus called out to God for strength before passing, so he wasn't alone.
God and satan share the same power hierarchy on a parallel.
God Bless
21So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
22And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
Some people read this and say it's our job to witness to everyone/anyone. And this is 2021.
This isn't like it was the days before the scriptures were compiled into a book that everyone could read. (the 1611 KJV)
The invention of printing press made it so many copies could be printed and everyone could have one. Then came the telegraph, the telephone, the radio, television, the personal computer and satellites. The Gospel has been preached to every nation in every language. Everyone has heard about the Gospel of Jesus at SOME time in their life. So why are we still required to "witnesss"/spread the Gospel????
