    Discernment: Red flag #2 (cont).

    Going back to Joel 2:30-31 we see a verse utilized by Dominionists and other extreme Pentacostals which taken in context are likely to be a description of the 2 Prophets in the last days who have a sort of "Prophetic contest" with the rest of the world. They end up being martyred by the Beast coming out of the sea (Antichrist) before being Resurrected. Again; if there is no warning about false Messiahs doing miracles ( Matt. 24:24) then we are left assuming that everything is genuine that is "miraculous" without examining to see if it is men's imaginations; God or a demon causing these things or apparent things to occur.

    Of course if we do the preverbal "throwing out the baby with the bathwater" and are total cessationists we are also going beyond scripture and are in danger at worst of blaspheming God when a true miracle occurs; or at worst being overly discouraging.

    Red flag #3: Tying into the first two "red flags" there are those who go beyond what we know presently in relation to a prophetic event and make all sorts of statements on this or that event being a sign; and taken to an extreme stating that it proves such and such an event during the Tribulation is occurring. We must keep in mind that Christ personally opens all the seals; and in fact no man is worthy to do so beforehand. The man of sin surely would have come out by now if the restrainer had been removed. In fact we probably all would have been dead by now.

    Red flag #4: Finally; a reminder once again not to be sidetracked by political; economic and other pressing issues beyond what we are called to be. We must be aware of the order of authority; namely the Godhead; Satan and his minions with their own ranks; then men in leadership followed by the rest of us "peons". We can look at the world in a way that we would see a skin lesion and not realize that the whole body is sick (such as seen in Isaiah 1:6). A mighty fortress is our God says it well

    I appreciate your positive feedback; I get a few comments here and there. I guess it is safe to say that you are far more in depth in all the Levitical procedures with the sacrifices than I have knowledge of. Am still hoping to get someone on here for an objective analysis of my writings; usually little or no preparation other than reading the Psalm and sometimes a few minutes researching the context and setting. Same deal with general commentaries not scripture specific.

    Dear Richard, I read all of your posts and find your diligence challenging. You Take a book and stay focused in it until you finish it. I started on this site a year ago with Genesis and am only in Leviticus. But we each can have our own pace as the Spirit leads us.

    For me, writing out an in-depth commentary helps me, first of all, to grasp the chapter better. It works for me. I know that I write long posts and that may not be for many people's preferences. And, realizing this, I like to space such commentary posts out so that the site isn't overloaded with what I post. Trying to be considerate of others in regards to my own postings.

    As for you, I think you are doing a wonderful job with your posts. they are helpful and I like reading the Scriptures from your posts. And, because they are so focused and not jumping all over the Scriptures, it helps me to increase my intake of the Word in a more systematic way, So, thank you.
