What have we become at home and abroad that we are feared and despised, and only respected by our might? This republic is strangling itself.
Till the end come, the best you can do is love.
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? ( Exodus 20)
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang ALL THE LAW and the PROPHETS.
The concept of "rapture" has no place in the Bible, it is a made up term to represent something that doesn't happen. Who do you think the 144K of the elect are, and why are they overtly and covertly placed into at least 7 chapters of Revelation? If the elects end-time future role was minimal, so would be their story line, and it's not.
Revelation 20:4-5 (right after they're taken up)
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.
It is the 144K, and no one else, who are resurrected, and redeemed from the great tribulation (not OT saints), who refused the beast and his mark. These saints are the only souls chosen to usher in God's plan, everyone else will sleep till the 2nd resurrection. Listen to the details of each account logically, the answers are there.
God bless.
I've heard several TV preachers in the past either say or imply that it means if we commit a sin while KNOWING it's sin, there is NO sacrifice that will cover this particular sin... which would leave us hell bound w/no hope, of course, since sin cannot enter heaven, and we would still have that sin upon us, unforgiven forever and ever.
I, personally, have always thought it meant that if we sin, and know that it is sin when we commit it, no "further" sacrifice is needed by Christ to cover that sin, b/c His sacrifice on the cross was was a one-time for ALL sin ( Hebrews 10:10-14, plus another scripture of which I cannot recall at the moment). But if I am wrong about this, I want to know it!
Thank you so much.
Sir, what is this rapture you mention? "getting HIS children ready for the rapture."
Are you speaking about this: "Come up hither"? Revelation 11:12-13

WHAT did Jesus say?
WHAT did Jesus do?
What did the Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes, say about it?
What has the Holy Spirit (the Teacher Jesus left with us), SAY?
Last question: WHAT day are your Church's doors open for Services?
Skip the Commentaries for 1 day, and see what we can glean from scripture.
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
how to understand "ten thousand instructors, ... not many fathers" here?
who are instructors and fathers?
You wrote "Some suppose that Russia is referred to here, in which case those nations around them & under her influence & power will come against Israel in that Great Day of God's Judgement."
That's a fair account, and true. From my perspective, it is down to team US vs Russia/China, the iron & clay team.
Putin has made it clear, to win he will throw the first punch, a surprise shock. Russia won't be held back anymore; they are a decade ahead of the US in military technology: Mach 27 hypersonic missiles in service....
The beast vs Babylon allegory is unfolding in broad daylight. I haven't counted the US govt as the good guys since WWII. I'm sorry if you are offended, not my intentions, but to make unbridled points of view for discussion.
Who else left fits the Bible's end-time descriptions other than these 2 sides? I know Jeremiah 50 & 51 describe the fall of pride. Also, something to factor in is Cyrus' army quietly entered Babylon's impregnable fortress through aqueducts and took Babylon without a fight. It appears that that's also how badly the beast defeats Babylon. 539 BC will come again for modern day Babylon and it will be a frightening scene being on the other end of it, the receiving end.
Peace be with you always.
Revelation 21: 5-7
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Here, resurrected Jesus is the "mighty God", is the "everlasting Father", and God enough to make Genesis 3:22 proud.
Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Best of health and Spirit to those reading this today.
God Bless all.
What is your perception of what will happen in the world between now and Revelation 11:15? If you think space aliens are coming, say so. A few sentences will do.
God bless.
The very first commandment.
Why did The Lord not say us ?
Because He is the only one God .
Even if you have read Revelation 7 hundreds of times, you may not have noticed something peculiar. After the tribes are sealed, vs 1-8, time skips forward 3.5 years, showing the same 144K resurrected and standing about the throne.
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;
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
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.
Revelation 14:4 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. These are the firstfruits who will serve a thousand years with Jesus Christ.
One, as a new comer to this site, ponders why there is so little excitement, that many are still chatting about bubble and squeak issues rather than the strong meat of Jesus Christ, here, today?
The LORD has to return, GOD, not Jesus, the MAN, to open the Seven Seals, reveal all mysteries of the GODHEAD, whilst Jesus, the Christ, returns in Rev.19, with the saints, not for them.
Why, still, is there such confusion amongst believers?
Why do we witness so many denominations, all claiming they alone have Truth, and yet, none of them can agree on Scripture, beside most fundamental doctrines, some not even that?
WHO is it that comes down in Rev.10:1-7?
Scripture tells us that satan is now sitting on his throne, in the city of seven hills, claiming to be GOD, to receive worship, instead of Jesus Christ, the One True GOD, which suggests he, satan, has again pulled the wool over the eyes of many of those believing to be Christians.
Our responsibility, as Christians, is to point those seeking Truth back to the unadulterated WORD of GOD, as HE is the WORD, not man's doctrines and dogma, which trapped Eve, back at the beginning.
It is not my desire to push any religion, any denomination, but to stick exactly with HIS WORD!
This scripture is referring to the peoples and specifically the leadership of Mystery Babylon before the're mortally attacked. So, before the day of the Lord, when God allows the attack, the elect 144K church are sealed from death for 42 months, then, at the end of their testimony the same elect are resurrected up, Revelation 11:7-11. That's the totality of the firstfruit resurrection ( Revelation 14:4) hand picked by God himself. All the elect don't die with so many spread out. No one is raptured (not Bible doctrine) or resurrected, or given divine treatment until the last trumpet.
What is so bad about being part of the 2nd resurrection?
Yes, knowing the time stamps are crucial because the text skips back and forth. You said "There are many more passages that point to the church being raptured up before the tribulation period."
Can you show me in scripture where rapture happens before tribulation? Don't you mean before the great tribulation, before Jesus comes like a thief?
The 144K sealed are the church that is resurrected, depicted standing before the alter as redeemed from the earth. Show me where anyone else besides the 144K are resurrected. Who are like these? Revelation 14:1-5
Revelation 7:13-14
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
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.
God bless you Barney
I'm trying to understand what started the rift between the 2 brothers,
and then the children of darkness versus the children of light that happened after that.
Seems to me Cain wouldn't have killed Abel if the Lord hadn't shown obvious preference to Able.
And then in proverbs 6:20 it turns around and calls your father -father? I don't get that.
Thanks
Understand this... National TV news is NOT going to report on this. On Jerusalem Post you might be able to find back stories.
They just came through being attacked every day on our tv's. We saw it.
It started on tv news (700 Club) we saw the Jews boarding and disembarking; Returning to Israel permanently. You have to prove you're a Jew to live there now.
Folks! Gods final countdown is ticking real fast. I suggest you get some Arthur E Bloomfield books and cram some prophesy, fast. The most accurate I have read.
The United States is going to do something that enrages the World at Large to hate our nation. I believe that was when President Trump made Jerusalem the center for the USA embassy. What happened 20 years ago?
The Jews Began to Return to Israel.

"The Day of The Lord" is not the Rapture.
The Rapture is first for the Church (not to be confused with Catholic). Christ will announce His arrival with a mighty trump. I'm thinking it's going to be loud, and people will see it and watch, but maybe only we see Him and hear. He will come with the clouds and we will go up to meet him. He calls us up. Believers who are alive will be taken to Heaven. He is the Bridegroom and the Church is the Bride so when you see this reference that's our turn. We have the Wedding Feast prepared and it is joyous and we are ready to get out of this horrible place. I am going to be watching from safety, because the horrors that are coming are hard to accept. I'm trying not to be excited for Everyone should be figuring it out because we are speeding up! Does anyone feel it?
The Day of The Lord is when He comes like a thief in the night. Everyone is evil and feeling content and there is peace, peace and then sudden destruction.
Who are "they"?
Knowing what you read discerns that which makes wise.
