I was wondering is everyone confused enough by now with the end time scenario and diverse views that has been presented these last few weeks?
Trying to give " Mystery Babylon " a location and actually locate it is like arguing the location of sun light.
This is where fastening on what's that far ahead could be as bad as Lots wife looking back If all of this is just a hobby to you that has become an obsession.
ASK YOURSELF, WILL FOLLOWING YOU IN THESE VIEWS SAVE LIVES!!
If not when Christ comes and all you ever did is debate eschatology in vain you may be found sleeping!!
It's like going to the airport and waiting for your flight starring at your ticket in the
concourse and mis your plane.
Yes! I believe we will be raptured up before all these events take place. What should we be doing in the meantime?
The apostles laid the foundation with the Lord as the chief corner stone, How are we to build upon it? Spend your entire life on eschatology and condemn everyone that doesn't agree with you?, NO!
1 Peter 2:5-6. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
( Do your zeal for ministry mirror this?)
2 Peter 3:14. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
Matthew 24:45-46. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Amen! I'm not sure why people choose to get into heated debate over end time events. How is that supposed to build up the body of Christ? But we're not to let ourselves get caught up in it. What comes to my mind is where Paul says in Romans 16:17, and taking it literally from the Greek text, it says now I appeal to you, brethren, and then it gives a command to mark them which cause divisions and offences.
The word mark is the word SKOPOS and it's where we get our word scope from. And it is in the present participle form in the Greek which means continue to observe. Be continually looking at those who cause divisions and offenses (SCANDALONS), contrary to the doctrine which you have learned.
Paul tells us in Galatians chapter 1 that if anybody preaches any other gospel than that which he has preached, let them be accursed. That's pretty bold and authoritative! If they don't preach, or of they preach contrary to the doctrine which Paul has taught and has given them, we are to mark them. That's command number one. Command number two is to avoid them. Don't even get caught up in it!
Some get obsessed with a view whether eschatology or what ever it may be and they shape their whole theology around that view!
instead of letting the scripture say what it say.
Naturally they get resistance and spend a lifetime in scripture promoting their views and never attempt to bring people to the Lord.
Some are playing a role in the falling away.
I revelation chapters 1,2,and 3 we see the Lord judging the Church He don't only rebuke those who practice are hold to certain deeds are doctrine but we also see he's against those who suffer them to do so!!
HERE'S AN EXAMPLE VERSE.
Revelation 2:20. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, ""BECAUSE THOU SUFFERETH" THAT WOMAN JEZEBEL, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
He's not condemning all of them for committing fornication and sacrificing unto idols. He's condemning those who stand by and suffer those to teach and seduce his servants to do it!! " NO correction and not resistance to the errors. ( They suffer the false teachings)
There is a little of all seven Churches in every Era and those letters is written to everyone in every Era.
S. Spencer, I thank you for this comment, I really appreciate it. I am meditating this morning on 1 Corinthians 1:30 (by the way, how do I encrypt the scripture in the comments so one can just click on it and see it come up immediately?) "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption." This Word is a treasure trove to me! The more I ask the Holy Spirit to show me what it means, the happier I feel, it's like I've come upon a secret cave beneath the ocean filled with jewels and riches.... a cave in my spirit... riches I never knew where there. I love going deep diving. All glory unto Him!. God Bless You S. Spencer....

I feel pretty good with you asking me how to work the site, Because I'm the worst!!!
Most of the time I'm on my smartphone and it keep misspelling my texts.
but if you just put in a verse in this format
Romans 4:13. it will link you to the scripture when you touch on it.
But there's other ways, but someone would have to share that with you and me.
God bless you.
