First of all; I'm praying about sharing some deep stuff on the mark of the Beast and the Tribulation that I haven't shared yet.
I could try to word things as to not spark any unnecessary controversy as to things which I strongly am convinced the Lord has shown me. There is also the choice of the discussion forum or getting involved in a thread should the Lord bring an open door (much as He did last time when the Trinity was on my mind and discussion was already available here on that subject). The question arises as to how crucial this subject is on this side of the Rapture (as I am a Pre Trib Rapture believer but qualify that statement with the fact that some who think they are ready aren't or will be left behind). That is another issue; but my question is how important are these events if we ourselves won't be here and of course there is always a risk sounding the alarm that the Lord will tarry much longer than we think. Balancing what we need to do now with the Great Commission with these future events is a challenge; the scriptures should be out there to warn any living into the Tribulation of how horrible it will be but also present the Gospel now as they could die tomorrow. The lack of earnest discourse or preaching much of the time in churches now as there was say 30 years ago is alarming to me and a sign as to how much closer it is; and the verse in Luke about "beating the fellowservants ( Matt. 24:48 and next few verses) indicates to me that those who wish to warn on such events will be ridiculed by other believers near the time of His coming.
My other prayer is for a friend of mine who I am seeking the Lord on whether we could share a place together. His name is Steve and although working full time and having his own business on the side it is hard for him. I thought by having less rent for him would help and it would make it easier to live near but not in my parent's house and save me money as well.
