Mishael

Luke 21 v 8

Sounds to me like these people are claiming the deity of Christ and his immediate return .

So common today , yet we are warned of them by Jesus .

Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

Luke 21:20 When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies (Syria, Iran, Russia, China) you will know that its desolation is near.

Luke 21:24-28 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the TIMES Of The Gentiles ARE FULFILLED

25 "There will be SIGNS in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.

26 People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your REDEMPTION is drawing near.

32 "Truly I tell you, THIS GENERATION will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but MY WORDS will never pass away.

34 "Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap.

35 For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth.

36 Be always on the WATCH and PRAY that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man (Jesus). Be born again now. John 3

2 PETER

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue* as they were from the beginning of the creation.

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 REPENT.

I personally believe it comes down the heart. I don't believe it has to do with the amount or the % in my opinion. Jesus spoke about the poor woman who gave all she had: Luke 21:1-4. I also believe someone's time has value and people can give of their time and sometimes be of more help to others than giving money. I personally prefer to help someone I know and can continue the relationship with, than to give to a charity where the CEO makes $500k/year and 50% of the donations only go to cover expense overhead. Churches can be the same drain on money too and their spending can be as irresponsible as the government. For example, a medium sized city might have 200+ church buildings, each having overhead like tax, rent or mortgage, trash, AC/heat, licensing, fees, but most of the buildings are closed 95% of the time each week. So instead of sharing resources and lightening the burden on its members they each want their own expensive building then preach sermons guilt tripping each person about giving to 'God'. Some of the churches spend lots of money on fancy projectors and sound systems and other unnecessary luxuries or status symbols. I personally think it's more honorable and beneficial to talk to homeless people and try to help them or to talk to your neighbor or volunteer and help others in a more direct way. In general Christians should strive to be Christlike and be a light to the world. I personally don't think we should spend most of our money having our little private buildings' overhead that can be used to actually help others instead. I see nothing in the Bible about God wanting us to be prosperous- that's made up by rich preachers on TV who want to be richer and buy more planes. It instead says store your treasures in heaven, not on earth. Posessions can become idols. We're supposed to pursue God not objects. God bless.

In verses 29-31 the disciples were instructed to stop and look at the fig tree, notice the buds, and discern that summer was near. Today we must take notice of the events and conditions taking places around us and discern that soon Jesus will return and take action.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(19) Woe unto them.-Better, alas for them, or woe for them. The tone is that of pity rather than denunciation. The hardships of a hurried flight would press most heavily on those who were encumbered with infant children, or were expecting childbirth. The same tenderness of sympathy shows itself in the words spoken to the daughters of Jerusalem in Luke 23:28-29. Perhaps the words point to the darker horrors of the siege, when mothers were driven, in the frenzy of starvation, to feed on their infants' flesh.

Nursing babys.

what does give suck mean

The Messianic Jews (dead or alive) that have been born again into Jesus Christ are sealed by the Holy Spirit and ready to go with Jesus as soon as he appears.

Take RELIGION off of the throne of your heart, and you place Jesus on that throne. pray, read the Bible (New Testament) first. Receive the Holy Spirit. Turn off the media so you can talk to the Holy Spirit and He will talk to you. Take your questions straight into the throne room. Leave your requests at the altar. Cast all your cares upon Him, because He cares about you.

The Lord has made every provision for us to be born again. For a season I would go get a copy of the King James Bible and read of what Jesus encountered in Jerusalem.

He was the awaited for Messiah. But the Pharisees and religious leaders rejected Him. They realized their jobs and control over the masses, was threatened.

Years ago the Holy Spirit showed me that over 500 prophesies were fulfilled by Jesus the Messiah. Over 100 on the day of his crucifixion alone. The odds of that happening is in the Trillions!

This is something the Gentiles need to consider. After the Caught Up in the Clouds (Rapture) 1 Thess.4:16-17. THE ELECTION passes back over TO THE JEWS of Israel. Not only that: the Restrainer will diminish in His presence on earth. The Antichrists identity will be revealed. He will attempt a fake peace on the earth. He will have power to fake miracles on the internet. Get some Arthur E Bloomfield prophesy books. Try AbeBooks to get some. Prophesies easily understood.

i agree thadeus, this world especially in these times its easy to get distracted. we need that mind set throughout the week, and we need people like that in our circle to urge one another to stay grounded.

Many Christians get distracted with the cares of the life we live now. Distracted by our finances or our business or loving golfing or some pleasure of ours to the point where we want to do nothing for the kingdom of God. Our Lord warns to keep him as our focal point, and not to be drunk or take more than what is necessary in this life into our hearts. He promised to provide all our needs, so if we just learn to rest IN HIM, we will never be caught off our Christian watch. In these end times, we have got to put our complete focus on HIM.

Thank you

In Luke 21:32, the word generation (Greek: genea), can apply to a 'generation, race or family'. I don't believe that Jesus was speaking about a generation, as of forty years from the establishment of the State of Israel.

After His description of the manifold troubles that will come upon the Earth during the Great Tribulation & the dissolving of the Earth & skies, He says that only after all these things must come to pass, will this present generation (or, race) of mankind (particularly of Israel) finally end. But in the New Heavens & New Earth, only the redeemed of the Lord will inhabit it & where there will be no existence of sin at all, as all that have not repented & turned to the Lord will be consigned to the Lake of Fire (Revelation chapters 20 & 21).

Does the Bible, say after Israel was made of state in 1948, that the generation of that year shall not pass away before the returning of Christ?

Hello Leland,

Seeing your comment I just feel to post this. If a person has truly been "born again" and given their lives to the Lord. Repenting of all the things they have done in the past and living a new life for the Will of God. I believe anyone can become a servant of the Lord, or "Pastor", showing that no matter what someone has done there is always hope for them. Proving Jesus Christ is waiting with open arms for everyone.

As this may help other people, who feel guilty, in showing them how great the love of God truly is. As we look at the Apostle Paul. Who actually targeted followers of Christ to persecute and martyr them before his conversion.

Now if the person is not genuinely converted and serving the Lord. Still being into those past things. Steer clear of them.

Hope that helps some.

A heretic is some one that refuses sound doctrine and teaches something else .

They can be admonished but resistance proves they are self condemned.

There is so much heretical teachings more than ever .

Only one truth and that is Jesus .

Jesus said clearly beware of false teachers .

they will be the majority!

Matthew 24. Luke 21 ,

All the apostles warned as well .

Stick close to the word of God ,

Jesus said my sheep hear my voice and they follow me . They will not follow a stranger , Jesus is our shepherd and protects his sheep , even laid down his life for his sheep !

I'm blessed and can say he has delivered me from so much evil in my life ! Amen !

What is a heretic? A pastor is saying that those who left his church are heretics and have instructed his congregation to have no more communication with them and to no longer associate with them. He has even told children to leave their parents and divide away from them as the parents. Those people were saved before attending and are now attending a closer Bile Baptist Church which teaches the Bible doctrine and salivation.

Can a pastor convicted of embezzlement and adultery and served prison for these of fences still be a pastor?

I don't have to bow down to you!

Is your real name Bob?

Commenting with you is like hitting my head on a brick wall till it's bloody. No more emails please.

Not a single verse yet in all that .

They refer to 1st reserrection. On the last day.

Nothing of pretrib rapture or reserrection.

Questions: "What happens at the end times? The end times is the final events of world history as we know it and is foretold by prophecy.

The end times is the final events of world history as we know it, punctuated by the rapture - tribulation - Battle of Armageddon - Christ returning - Satan being put into the pit - the 1,000 year millennium - Satan's release - Satan's final defeat - and mankind's final judgment, as expanded below. While many believe that these end time events are about to start, the truth is, we can only guess.

For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits [from the cross]; then, when he comes [the rapture], those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power [after the 1,000 year millennium] ( 1 Cor. 15: 22-24).

The Rapture

The word "Rapture" does not appear in the Bible but is used by Christians to describe an end time event. Rapture comes from the Latin word raptus which means "seize," "snatch" or "take away." It refers to those who obey and follow Jesus being taken up to meet Christ in the air.

This is the first rapture. The time when all the saints through out history will rise to receive new eternal bodies combined with their souls.

For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel's call and with the sound of God's trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord forever ( 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

The exact details of the rapture remain a mystery; however, we know that we will be physically resurrected at the Rapture ( John 5:29; Acts 24:15; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).

What are the things that supposed to happen the generation to see Jesus come

Luke ch 21 v 8

This verse is so today !

Anywhere you find the scriptures you find evil workers waiting to deceive!

Trust only the word of God , not men's interpretations of the word of God . That's why God gave us the Bible .

If a person actually understands it's because they have been taught by God s Holy Spirit, very rare these days . Every one has his version and does that what seems right to them . All unrighteousness. There is no private interpretation of scriptures. Seek the truth and be from errors like the Trinity godhead , and the rapture doctrines , together they are very potent and effective to rob people of faith and Gods blessings , the spirit of Antichrist is real and has its victims that prefer sin over obedience.

Read your Bible prayerfully don't take my word for it discover for your self . Beware of the deceivers !

Luke 21 v 36

Watch ye therefore , and pray always , that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass , and to stand before the Son of man .

Dear reader have you ever prayed this prayer ?

Only the father knows the day and hour .

Even if you die before this one time event at the coming of The Lord Jesus etc ... you still must stand before the Lord when you are resurrected from the dead . Will we be ashamed or rejoice ? No one escapes the coming of the Lord dead or alive .

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom . We are instructed to be found without blame and be in peace in him, only the Lord can do this for us . Trust Him and he will see you through even to the last day !

No other way but through him . All instructions found in the Bible . This prayer is a big one !

I've found good Bibles at Goodwill or Walmart. Try to get a King James Version or a NIV or NKJV.

The world is experiencing many of the SIGNS mentioned in Matthew 24 and Luke 21. Fires, earthquakes, economy collapse, riots and wars; pandemics. You have a wise child.

Mishael

Luke 17:35-36. To my understanding it denots the household works in afternoon. In olden times grinding works carried out in the afternoon by women. As also two men in the field denots the day time, works in the field. Luke 17:34 says : in that night there shall be two men in one bed. This is picture of the world when our Lord appears in the heaven. Our Lord come for the whole world. Then as usual half of the world is under night and other half - in day time. Luke 21:27 and then shall they see the son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Luke 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. The sealing is already over and sealed will be transformed instantaneously and fly towards our Lord. When our Lord comes, saved and unsaved are intimately living together and only saved are transformed.It is a warning to all belivers for checking their names in the book of life and uptodate it now. It is our personal choice only. "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15.Believe in Jesus and keep his commandmends.Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 1John4:15.
