Yes, Trudeau is truly the son of the the Cuban Communist. May they both rot in hell together one day. Isn't it interesting how tyrants migrate to politics and the destruction of countries???
For the Elderly Heat is the New Covid . I can’t imagine how humanity has lasted so long. Lots of fear soup here. Yes, heat can cause problems, yes, even kill. But there are ways to keep oneself cooler. Why is this woman not sitting with her feet in water? A pan of water? Or pans, bowls of water? Even without ice (I noted she has no refrigerator ?), alternately in the water and out? I’ve had to do this myself when a/c was out. I’m 75. I just can’t believe, unless dementia or learned helplessness is involved older people can’t come up with solutions. We are not babies and we are not helpless. I absolutely hate the word elderly and will not use it to describe myself. Sheesh.
Bravo Lin Maree. I just turned 69. Government protecting the elderly? Sure, just like they did with the Covid PLANNEDEMIC. BTW, my wife and I did not get the jab. We knew early on there was something up, that was creepy. When government says they are going to help you, move away. Quickly.
Have you looked into Dr. Andrew. Moulden’s work on “those things?” ALL of them. And a great book by Eleanor McBean. Andrew’s work may be hard to find. Gee, I wonder why…?
There is some info at health*Impact*News. Take care and be well, both of you.
If you come here often and usually skip over my comments because they're too long, (I can't seem to keep them short!) PLEASE take the time to read this one. It is THE most important subject in the lives of every single person living today.
As for "palm payment" technology, it's just another part of the set up for the time called tribulation; a time in human history worse than any other time since the Flood of Noah. BILLIONS will perish. While famine is being set up so is the mark of the beast and we see the beginning of it now. It's all coming together RAPIDLY!
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:16-17 You can guess his number.
Everything that is happening on the world stage is clearly seen TODAY in Bible prophecy, the setting up for one, digital currency, the CBDC. CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCY will be tied to every person in the world (when they are forced to take the mark) and can be SHUT OFF at a whim.
Maybe the whim of not believing everything the media says about everything? So, disagree on a comment thread? The chip in your hand or forehead is turned off. You can no longer buy or sell. CBDC and the mark of the beast go hand in hand. AND IT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!
The time of tribulation is casting shadows on the world and is OVERLAPPING with our present time because we are soon to be thrust into those times. That is, those who do not BELIEVE the Gospel of Jesus Christ because we who DO are going to be REMOVED very soon (also Bible prophecy) according to Scripture. As the day approaches, the truth of the Rapture is being denied more and more even by proclaiming Christians! Just as the Bible said!
"...there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 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." 2 Peter 3:3-4
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
Every single day, people are coming to faith in Christ and are being saved. That is why we who wait for Him have (seemingly) been waiting so long, God wants as many as possible to be saved. But that wait will soon be over and millions of people the world over will suddenly disappear.
Seek Him NOW. I have been increasingly urgent in my efforts to awake people to the truth. All truth is totally related today and we who know Scripture see it coming upon the world like a FREIGHT TRAIN...unstoppable. According to Scripture the tribulation period will last 7 years. This September the UN is meeting at the SDG Summit to discuss THE NEXT SEVEN YEARS!!!
Agreed Jimd. For the crowd of believers who believe in the "rapture", which is never mentioned in the Bible, and is meant for weak kneed Christians who do not understand that we will have to endure the Tribulation. I know, you do not believe me. Do you believe Jesus? Read all of Mathew 24. Right from the mouth of Jesus as chronicled. The rapture as Christians know it to be, is a myth. Jesus coming on the clouds one day to gather the elect is in scripture. You heard it here.
I'm sorry you disagree. Why do you begin by saying "Agreed Jimd."? The Rapture IS in the Bible but in the Greek. "Harpazo" is the name in Greek and it means to "seize" or to catch away suddenly by force. So, you are prepared to "go through the tribulation"? You apparently haven't learned what it will be like. And we are not "weak kneed" as you say but we LOVE Jesus Christ and want to be with Him RIGHT NOW!
First off, you probably won't live the first 3.5 years of the trib because BILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE. Next, if you look at Isaiah 24 or Revelation 8-10 and imagine what these horrific events will look like, THEN come back and tell everyone you are "strong kneed" [SIC] and want to be a hero tribulation survivor!
I myself didn't entirely believe the Rapture at one time during my 40 years of Bible study and I saw the possibility that either positions could be true. I was not content with not being sure as I have accepted the call to defend the TRUTH. How could I do this if I wasn't sure myself? So, I embarked on a journey to settle the issue for myself and I studied the subject INTENSELY.
Since that time, (going on 20 years now) I have found very many MORE examples of why the pre trib Rapture must be the truth and they have served to confirm this truth even more. There are gems of pre trib Rapture truth scattered throughout Scripture. I have become CERTAIN that the pre trib Rapture IS the truth I also learned that the Harpazo truth is woven throughout Scripture and is found from Genesis to Revelation in types and shadows.
Check out Chuck Missler's book "The Rapture" or listen to his many youtube teachings if you don't believe me. Read other's books defending the Rapture truth. Not that I believe any ONE person, I consult the King James Bible for ALL doctrine. However, Chuck Missler is one of the most intelligent born again Christians and teachers that I have heard.
I learned that the Rapture is the ONLY way that all of the Scripture relating to end times Bible prophecy could occur and a "post trib" Rapture is an impossibility. As far as Matthew 24 is concerned; Jesus is addressing the JEWS, (flee to Judea) not the Christians living after His Resurrection. You must rightly divide. (2 Timothy 2:15) All of Scripture is written FOR us but not all of it is written TO us. Without rightly dividing the Bible into its proper dispensations it is impossible to understand it completely. The pre trib Rapture is TRUTH. It is our BLESSED HOPE. Titus 2:13
Agreed with much of what you said and went on to say what I did in fact disagree with. So the Greek interpretation is your basis for the rapture and not Mathew 24 and the words of Jesus Christ directly. If Jesus Christ willl have elect endure the Tribulation, than it will be so, and I will accept that, and do my very best to be true to Jesus Christ and what he has promised in Scriptures. You discuss Mathew 24 as if it is something other than Jesus Christ telling WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN COMERS ON THE CLOUDS. His words, not mine, not yours, not an interpretation that he was only addressing the Jews to flee to Judea. Jesus said he was coming to gather the elect ON THE CLOUDS. Please correct me by Scripture or history where Jesus returned for the elect ON THE CLOUDS, anytime prior to this day. Certainly the Jews were not the elect of that time who did not believe in Jesus Christ. You say you have learned that the Rapture is the only way all of the end times scripture Bible prophecy could occur and you go on to say I must learn to rightly divide the Bible. I choose to look at the entire chapter of Mathew 24, which is 100% the words of Jesus Christ for the entire chapter as written, not interpreted, plainly spoken by Jesus Christ himself. You have overthought this issue to the point you would put your interpretations as you have written over the exact words of Jesus Christ which are plainly spoken and simple to understand for every believer in Jesus Christ. I cannot apologize for not following your interpretations. You do you. I will do me. As you so rightly point out, there are many interpretations of Scripture out in the world today, now including yours and those you have pointed to. I and many others like me disagree with your interpretations, and their interpretations. I trust the words of Jesus Christ. I see that you do not. That says it all for me... I sincerely doubt that Jesus Christ will hold you liable for mistakes in your interpretations of the Bible Scriptures. We can debate whatever actually happens when we meet in heaven and Jesus and his angels gather the elect when Jesus Christ comes for us on the clouds as promised by Jesus Christ himself.
Nebraska teen gets 90 days in jail for MURDER and destruction and hiding of a dead body. American patriots at the Capitol are arrested without cause, jailed indefinitely (many still incarcerated) and refused trial for using the freedom of speech clause in the US Constitution. Welcome to the world of the insane as the most critically insane of them run the asylum.
Oh, man! We aren't in the trib yet. Did you go to bed hungry last night? Have any of the trumpets of Revelation 8 begun to sound. Has the antichrist been revealed yet with certainty? (I have suspects but he won't be confirmed until we're gone) The antichrist is revealed first. The tribulation won't happen until "He who now letteth will let, until He be taken out of the way, and THEN shall that Wicked be revealed". 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 The Holy Spirit is "He" in the above quote and He dwells in me and ALL born again Christians. We will be removed and thus He will be taken out of the way. Once we're gone, the whole world will be unbelievers EXCEPT those like my dad who said that he will believe if millions of Christians disappear. Many will be saved IN the tribulation.
I would disagree with your comments on this one Jimd. I believe we are in the beginning days of the Tribulation. My opinion. Opinions are like assholes we all have one, as do you. Many people are going to bed hungry at night, you appear to be unaware. However, many have always gone to bed hungry at night across the ages for various reasons. Who can say this early in the Trib? Regarding the trumpets of Revelation, that very clearly means the trumpets sounding in HEAVEN. I assume you are a "rapture believer", by your comment that "the antichrist is confirmed after we are gone". I assume that you mean "we" are the elect mentioned in Mathew 24. It does not sound like you have read Mathew 24 and understood the words of Jesus. Your Thessalonians declaration quote is an opinion that is disputed by many who study the Scriptures on in your assessment. I have never understood why so many Rapture believers refuse to read the words of Jesus Christ in Mathew 24. The only thing I can come up with is that it is wishful thinking based upon obscure "beliefs and conjecture" on versus of the bible that do not directly discuss when the elect will be brought up by Jesus Christ and his angels when he comes on the clouds to gather the elect as Jesus Christ TOLD about, as it was spoken of personally by Jesus Christ in Mathew 24. The Holy Spirit does indeed dwell in all born again believers in Jesus Christ. I choose to believe the EXACT WORDS of Jesus Christ in Mathew 24 as opposed to an interpretation of individuals who wish that interpretation and others like it were true, versus what Jesus Christ directly said about the matter in Mathew 24. Thank you for your commentary. I just have to disagree.
Apparently you had not read my comment. I know you didn't read it because you wouldn't have said "It does not sound like you have read Matthew 24 and understood the words of Jesus". In fact, you didn't read ANY of it because of your comment "I assume you are a Rapture believer". I wrote the whole comment based on the pre trib rapture position. You don't believe in the Rapture because you don't LOOK and READ for yourself as you have demonstrated here by not reading my comment. If you don't read a comment directed at you, how much less are you going to read the Bible? You have adopted your own worldview and you don't have one of your own, if you did, you would engage me in a debate by READING my comments to you. Matthew 24 is NOT FOR CHRISTIANS IN THE AGE OF GRACE which we are in now. Jesus words in Matthew were for the JEWS IN THE TIME OF THE TRIBULATION. "When you see the abomination of desolation, flee to the mountains" 24:15 and "he that endureth to the end shall be saved". 24:13 Do we have to "endure to the end" to be saved? NO! Salvation is utterly free to us in this AGE. The Jews and the unsaved WILL have to endure to the end of the TRIBULATION and not take the mark of the beast. MATTHEW 24 IS FOR THE JEWS.
You really are hard headed Jimd. I read ALL of your commentary several times. I disagree. I explained why I made every comment. Regarding the rest of your commentary here where you focused on two different things. You said "Mathew 24 is not for Christians in the age of grace is incorrect. The entire chapter was spoken in the days of Jesus to the people he was trying to enlighten, mainly Jews in that day, and anyone in the future regarding what would happen the day he comes for the elect on the clouds. Does that mean in your mind, that everything Jesus spoke of in the Bible, was not to the Christians of this day, or any other Christians of the last 2,000 plus years??? You are quite "proudly" spouting a lot of nonsense regarding Scripture. I have run into many self proclaimed individuals who are experts on the Bible, which I read most every day, and many times over, in my 69 years of life (probably 10 times or more cumulatively) (my wife and I read a chapter each day in the bible still to this day), and I became a believer at 8 years of age. I have read my bible and many different bibles for the last 61 years. I attend church regularly and give to my church and other Christian based projects across the globe. I quite properly gave you my own beliefs and told you that I did not subscribe specifically to your "Rapture" beliefs, be they pre trib, post trib, or anything else that Jesus did not say in Mathew 24, based upon interpretations of other versus throughout the bible that you say absolutely proves your interpretations correct. When I say you are hard headed, I mean it literally from your comments towards me, whether I read your commentary, or not, in posts to me directly. I did. You refuse to believe that fact. That makes you hard headed and wishing to argue for arguments sake, basically calling me a liar. I take offense to that. That is VERY un-Christian of you. Your second comment regarding Mathew 23:13 and 15, regarding "enduring to the end" and "seeing the abomination of desolation, flee to the mountains" are absolute drivel, and I will point out the reason Mathew 24 was spoken of by Jesus Christ is to warn people that when he does come on the clouds, the elect will be gathered by the angels to be brought to Jesus to take to heaven whether they have died in the last 2,100 years, or are still living, and that he spoke of people disappearing right next to those who will not be gathered, SPECIFICALLY to be taken as the elect to reign with Jesus Christ, from that day forward. NEVER in the Bible does Jesus say any of that as pointedly and specifically as he does throughout Mathew 24 and yes, it was for all peoples to hear and read about then and in the future, through the Bible. You have got dividing on your hard headed brain and you are incorrect. I tried to say so nicely. Your attack upon me personally, makes that difficult. So, now I have given you more specifics and I will caution you once again to read Mathew 24 over and over until you understand how it fits into the message of Jesus Christ all through the New Testament, to gather the elect at his appointed time, not by your interpretations, not versus throughout the Bible you wish to interpret to fit "YOUR NARRATIVE" of a rapture that I consider to be discredited by the spoken words of Jesus Christ in Mathew 24. While I do not think that your misinterpretations could possibly endanger your position to be one of the elect, to be gathered by Jesus Christ and his angels at the appointed time of his return on the clouds, I do consider your misinterpretations to be misleading to the elect and others just coming to embrace Jesus Christ, and falsely made, which makes them dangerous and confusing doctrine you are sowing. Back to my opinion again with that said. We all have opinions. You do you. I will do me. The entire Mathew Chapter 24 is the definitive word of Jesus Christ about when the believers of the elect of Jesus Christ, are gathered by Jesus and his angels to be with him from that future date forward. I will not respond to anymore of your commentary. I have made my position crystal clear regarding the direct spoken teachings of Jesus Christ. I consider the matter closed.
Rick, Please read this carefully THREE TIMES. I am a very serious seeker of TRUTH. The Truth of the Bible mostly but truth in ALL matters. It is my reason for living. (I use the only PRESERVED written word, the KJV; all other versions are produced by the world, copied from errant manuscripts of the Gnostics in Alexandria, made to make MONEY – BILLIONS - and to obfuscate the truth; watering down the Deity of Christ, this is a lengthy study which every born again Christian should conduct; I’m still learning continually about that subject) I also ASK God to bless me with wisdom, discernment and understanding mostly EVERY time I pray 3X daily at least, sometimes for hours.
You call me “hard headed” but you say this based on my PASSION and LOVE OF TRUTH. I don’t allow anyone to steal my “Blessed Hope” (Titus 2:13) I will defend the TRUTH with everything that is in me and THAT is what I am doing here. If you want to call that “hard headed”, fine, but it is the Holy Spirit in me that motivates me. You’ll forgive me if I am not always “polite” in this.
Defending this truth is taking all my time and energy these days but I must do what I must do. I’m a 61 year old retired (so thankfully!) chef a CEC, Certified Executive Chef. I have studied this subject for 40 years and as I said in previous comments on this thread, I was once unsure but had my “opinion” however I was not satisfied with not being SURE about this very important issue; the pre trib Rapture of the church. You admitted that what you hold to is YOUR OPINION (quite shockingly colorfully I might add).
I do not rely on my "opinion" or anyone else’s but I seek the TRUTH of what God has intended for us to know as Christians living in this age, directly before the coming of Jesus Christ to the air to take out His Bride. My opinion is of no use to anyone. I am not content to just have an opinion on Scripture, I have sifted it for FACTS for many years. Paul tells us that there are no “opinions” in Scripture in 2 Peter 1:21; I am confident of this topic and that is why I am so bold in defending it.
That we are already in the tribulation is completely contrary to what the Bible teaches. I have said almost all I am going to say on this subject but will highlight just a few more things before I go.
Matthew 24 is what you are basing your entire argument upon which, as I said, is Jesus' warning to the Jews about the time of the tribulation, and He is speaks of the END of the Tribulation when Jesus comes back WITH His church (who were taken 7 years earlier) to defeat the false prophet and the antichrist before setting up His Millennial Kingdom.
We Christians will not see the abomination of desolation that Jesus speaks about because we will be hidden away with Jesus in our CHAMBERS. You fail to grasp the full horror of the tribulation AKA, “Time of Jacob’s Trouble” (Jeremiah 30:7) when BILLIONS with an “s” will die!
Here is just one more of many examples of God’s Plan for the end times…
"Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead."
"Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast." Isaiah 26:19-20
The Bible has doctrine peppered throughout its pages, OT and NT as I already mentioned. (for precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little) Isaiah 28:10
When you attempt to hang an entire doctrine (or a debate) on only one section of Scripture (as in your case and in most Rapture deniers cases which all go to Matthew 24) you are not rightly dividing; without which the Scriptural meaning is lost.
I have done my best to attempt to enlighten you on this subject but it seems you are content with your "opinion" of what the Bible says. I will humbly exit this conversation and apologize for my harsh use of language in this debate. I am PASSIONATE about these things and in these last days I find myself defending the true doctrine of the pre trib Rapture (which is the JOY of my Blessed Hope) MORE THAN AT ANY OTHER TIME OF MY LIFE AS A BELIEVER and this serves Bible prophecy also.
"knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 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 creation.” 2 Peter 3:3-4.
I will leave you with one more topic to study: Are you aware that the teachings of Jesus were DIFFERENT than the teachings of Paul? In fact Jesus told the Jews in His Day not to go to the Gentiles but only to the Jews! (Matthew 10:5) Paul is the apostle to WE, the Gentiles. And it is the Gospel of Jesus Christ which He gave to Paul and which Paul calls “my gospel” (Romans 16:25; 2:16; Titus 2:8) The Holy Spirit of God did not instruct Paul to write to Timothy telling him to "rightly divide" the word of truth for no reason! (2 Timothy 2:13)
You have mentioned Matthew chapter 24 ad nauseum; more than numerous times in your comments without referencing any other Scripture, (by the way, Matthew has TWO t’s) but as I said, Scripture must be taken as a WHOLE yet divided into proper DISPENSATIONS, understanding the WHOLE CONTEXT and to WHOM the chapters and verses are speaking. If one does not do this the Bible seems to have many contradictions and cannot be fully understood.
This is what I have learned over my years of study. Not long ago, I didn’t know how to rightly divide Scripture (about 14 years ago) but someone enlightened me to dispensational teaching, someone like MYSELF, writing in a comment thread. I looked into it and found it to be not only solid truth but the Bible was opened up to me in a whole NEW WAY and what I once thought of as contradictions and unclear teaching became CRYSTAL clear to me.
Notice how many different books of the Bible I have quoted in my comments which, when put together help one to understand Matthew 24. I have used the whole Bible, OT and NT in my debate and you have mentioned only ONE chapter. Get the book “Dispensational Truth” by Clarence Larkin. It helped me learn how to rightly divide and when I began rightly dividing (dispensationally), my life as a Christian advanced 10 fold in every aspect of learning, hermeneutics, understanding AND FAITH.
Are “Conspiracy Theories” controlled? 🤔 That would depend on varying factors.
Who came up with the “theory”, is questioning and why?
Are there facts to back up the theory?
Is there a certain faction that wants to push a certain agenda?
Is there a certain faction that wants to supress Truth?
If information is controlled and not allowed to be accessed, then in a way a theory would be controlled because A LOT of things labeled “Conspiracy Theories” are Conspiracy Facts.
Just because there is a conspiracy does not mean it’s a theory.
Haven’t many thought/contemplated “things” and delved into researching and found Truth on varying topics? To me one of the biggest conspiracies is using the term “Conspiracy Theory” to have peeps think Truth Seekers are nutters. No one should believe anything anyone “says” just because they said it was true.
So after blathering on - are all “Conspiracy Theories” controlled - NO, but some may be….like the J6 Insurrection Conspiracy Theory-there was NO insurrection and good people are rotting in jail. “Flat Earth” is attempted to be silenced and controlled by those intentionally put in place to make “Flat Earthers” seem loony with “Flat Earth” websites & YT’s that are ridiculous, whereas if one watches or reads some documentaries presented by Truth seekers and follows up with research on info presented….totally different outlook
The very item, "conspiracy theory" was invented to divide people and it has been very effective. Along with every other manufactured division they have created, the people are now divided more than at any other time in modern history. We all know someone on the other side, who believes everything they're told by the media. You can now get much more truth by believing the OPPOSITE of what the MSM says than you could be believing their lies especially on those subjects pushed the hardest, e.g. SARS-CoV-2 and its alleged preventative.
Me either. Such lovable little birds. Absolutely adorable. So sad to see them dying like the rest of the oceans (and those of the air) creatures. We're next.
Marine birds and fish have always had a difficult life. Sometimes they end up dying together in large numbers. Each case is generally for a different reason. The oceans are NOT dying. They certainly are under attack by stupid people. My wife and I were walking the beach yesterday and the fishermen there had an 18" shark they had just landed and they told us that they were going to have shark ceviche. Carnivore predators eating another carnivore predator. The way of the world. That is how life is. Not easy for anybody or anything.
We are dying of stupid. So yes, you are correct in the point, but i just watched a rescue of no less than 5 whale sharks trapped in a net in Indonesia, and if the visiting divers hadn't seen it, well, ya know. They taste good. Right?
No humans, we are going to have all the fun diseases they are reintroducing to the first world. I heard typhus and TB are making a come back! Anyone for the plague on your bingo card?
No one likes whales, porpoises, turtles, dolphins, etc in nets that are designed for some other types of fish. I certainly do not, it is unfortunate. Hopefully, more rescues will occur. I am unaware that there is anything but nets for catching fish to eat, since man has been fishing. And fishing with nets was done all throughout Biblical times by mankind. God gave mankind stewardship of all the fish, the birds, and the animals. Mankind has not been doing a great job the last 50 years with that stewardship. However the oceans are a huge place and only certain types of fishing has depleted the fish stock worldwide, due to overfishing certainly. It can and will be brought under control I believe. Conservation efforts are underway and have been for the last 15 years. One hopes for success in all of those endeavors. Thank you for your comment Chickie Galore. Yes, man suffers from stupid more often than not... But man can learn, if enough voices are raised. There is much to correct, not just fishing issues. Your disgust shows through and rightly so. I have so many issues with mankind, it would take years to list I sometimes think. There are many men and organizations who we are fighting against world problems for greed. And yet, the forces to battle them effectively in all issues are growing. Keep fighting for good and right. Never give an inch.
Feathers, fur, even scales, I love ALL of God's animals (I must admit, the cutest and definitely the most cuddleable are the ones with fur) and I would love to hold a penguin! There's one of the furry, canine variety sleeping on my bed right now! : )
Good to see so many Canadians cursing Fidel’s Little Bastard! A pity any were treating him nicely. You can fool some people all of the time.
Yes, Trudeau is truly the son of the the Cuban Communist. May they both rot in hell together one day. Isn't it interesting how tyrants migrate to politics and the destruction of countries???
For the Elderly Heat is the New Covid . I can’t imagine how humanity has lasted so long. Lots of fear soup here. Yes, heat can cause problems, yes, even kill. But there are ways to keep oneself cooler. Why is this woman not sitting with her feet in water? A pan of water? Or pans, bowls of water? Even without ice (I noted she has no refrigerator ?), alternately in the water and out? I’ve had to do this myself when a/c was out. I’m 75. I just can’t believe, unless dementia or learned helplessness is involved older people can’t come up with solutions. We are not babies and we are not helpless. I absolutely hate the word elderly and will not use it to describe myself. Sheesh.
Bravo Lin Maree. I just turned 69. Government protecting the elderly? Sure, just like they did with the Covid PLANNEDEMIC. BTW, my wife and I did not get the jab. We knew early on there was something up, that was creepy. When government says they are going to help you, move away. Quickly.
Have you looked into Dr. Andrew. Moulden’s work on “those things?” ALL of them. And a great book by Eleanor McBean. Andrew’s work may be hard to find. Gee, I wonder why…?
There is some info at health*Impact*News. Take care and be well, both of you.
If you come here often and usually skip over my comments because they're too long, (I can't seem to keep them short!) PLEASE take the time to read this one. It is THE most important subject in the lives of every single person living today.
As for "palm payment" technology, it's just another part of the set up for the time called tribulation; a time in human history worse than any other time since the Flood of Noah. BILLIONS will perish. While famine is being set up so is the mark of the beast and we see the beginning of it now. It's all coming together RAPIDLY!
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:16-17 You can guess his number.
Everything that is happening on the world stage is clearly seen TODAY in Bible prophecy, the setting up for one, digital currency, the CBDC. CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCY will be tied to every person in the world (when they are forced to take the mark) and can be SHUT OFF at a whim.
Maybe the whim of not believing everything the media says about everything? So, disagree on a comment thread? The chip in your hand or forehead is turned off. You can no longer buy or sell. CBDC and the mark of the beast go hand in hand. AND IT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!
The time of tribulation is casting shadows on the world and is OVERLAPPING with our present time because we are soon to be thrust into those times. That is, those who do not BELIEVE the Gospel of Jesus Christ because we who DO are going to be REMOVED very soon (also Bible prophecy) according to Scripture. As the day approaches, the truth of the Rapture is being denied more and more even by proclaiming Christians! Just as the Bible said!
"...there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 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." 2 Peter 3:3-4
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
Every single day, people are coming to faith in Christ and are being saved. That is why we who wait for Him have (seemingly) been waiting so long, God wants as many as possible to be saved. But that wait will soon be over and millions of people the world over will suddenly disappear.
Seek Him NOW. I have been increasingly urgent in my efforts to awake people to the truth. All truth is totally related today and we who know Scripture see it coming upon the world like a FREIGHT TRAIN...unstoppable. According to Scripture the tribulation period will last 7 years. This September the UN is meeting at the SDG Summit to discuss THE NEXT SEVEN YEARS!!!
Agreed Jimd. For the crowd of believers who believe in the "rapture", which is never mentioned in the Bible, and is meant for weak kneed Christians who do not understand that we will have to endure the Tribulation. I know, you do not believe me. Do you believe Jesus? Read all of Mathew 24. Right from the mouth of Jesus as chronicled. The rapture as Christians know it to be, is a myth. Jesus coming on the clouds one day to gather the elect is in scripture. You heard it here.
I'm sorry you disagree. Why do you begin by saying "Agreed Jimd."? The Rapture IS in the Bible but in the Greek. "Harpazo" is the name in Greek and it means to "seize" or to catch away suddenly by force. So, you are prepared to "go through the tribulation"? You apparently haven't learned what it will be like. And we are not "weak kneed" as you say but we LOVE Jesus Christ and want to be with Him RIGHT NOW!
First off, you probably won't live the first 3.5 years of the trib because BILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE. Next, if you look at Isaiah 24 or Revelation 8-10 and imagine what these horrific events will look like, THEN come back and tell everyone you are "strong kneed" [SIC] and want to be a hero tribulation survivor!
I myself didn't entirely believe the Rapture at one time during my 40 years of Bible study and I saw the possibility that either positions could be true. I was not content with not being sure as I have accepted the call to defend the TRUTH. How could I do this if I wasn't sure myself? So, I embarked on a journey to settle the issue for myself and I studied the subject INTENSELY.
Since that time, (going on 20 years now) I have found very many MORE examples of why the pre trib Rapture must be the truth and they have served to confirm this truth even more. There are gems of pre trib Rapture truth scattered throughout Scripture. I have become CERTAIN that the pre trib Rapture IS the truth I also learned that the Harpazo truth is woven throughout Scripture and is found from Genesis to Revelation in types and shadows.
Check out Chuck Missler's book "The Rapture" or listen to his many youtube teachings if you don't believe me. Read other's books defending the Rapture truth. Not that I believe any ONE person, I consult the King James Bible for ALL doctrine. However, Chuck Missler is one of the most intelligent born again Christians and teachers that I have heard.
I learned that the Rapture is the ONLY way that all of the Scripture relating to end times Bible prophecy could occur and a "post trib" Rapture is an impossibility. As far as Matthew 24 is concerned; Jesus is addressing the JEWS, (flee to Judea) not the Christians living after His Resurrection. You must rightly divide. (2 Timothy 2:15) All of Scripture is written FOR us but not all of it is written TO us. Without rightly dividing the Bible into its proper dispensations it is impossible to understand it completely. The pre trib Rapture is TRUTH. It is our BLESSED HOPE. Titus 2:13
Agreed with much of what you said and went on to say what I did in fact disagree with. So the Greek interpretation is your basis for the rapture and not Mathew 24 and the words of Jesus Christ directly. If Jesus Christ willl have elect endure the Tribulation, than it will be so, and I will accept that, and do my very best to be true to Jesus Christ and what he has promised in Scriptures. You discuss Mathew 24 as if it is something other than Jesus Christ telling WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN COMERS ON THE CLOUDS. His words, not mine, not yours, not an interpretation that he was only addressing the Jews to flee to Judea. Jesus said he was coming to gather the elect ON THE CLOUDS. Please correct me by Scripture or history where Jesus returned for the elect ON THE CLOUDS, anytime prior to this day. Certainly the Jews were not the elect of that time who did not believe in Jesus Christ. You say you have learned that the Rapture is the only way all of the end times scripture Bible prophecy could occur and you go on to say I must learn to rightly divide the Bible. I choose to look at the entire chapter of Mathew 24, which is 100% the words of Jesus Christ for the entire chapter as written, not interpreted, plainly spoken by Jesus Christ himself. You have overthought this issue to the point you would put your interpretations as you have written over the exact words of Jesus Christ which are plainly spoken and simple to understand for every believer in Jesus Christ. I cannot apologize for not following your interpretations. You do you. I will do me. As you so rightly point out, there are many interpretations of Scripture out in the world today, now including yours and those you have pointed to. I and many others like me disagree with your interpretations, and their interpretations. I trust the words of Jesus Christ. I see that you do not. That says it all for me... I sincerely doubt that Jesus Christ will hold you liable for mistakes in your interpretations of the Bible Scriptures. We can debate whatever actually happens when we meet in heaven and Jesus and his angels gather the elect when Jesus Christ comes for us on the clouds as promised by Jesus Christ himself.
Nebraska teen gets 90 days in jail for MURDER and destruction and hiding of a dead body. American patriots at the Capitol are arrested without cause, jailed indefinitely (many still incarcerated) and refused trial for using the freedom of speech clause in the US Constitution. Welcome to the world of the insane as the most critically insane of them run the asylum.
And getting worse by the day. This is the tribulation... The obscenities continue.
Oh, man! We aren't in the trib yet. Did you go to bed hungry last night? Have any of the trumpets of Revelation 8 begun to sound. Has the antichrist been revealed yet with certainty? (I have suspects but he won't be confirmed until we're gone) The antichrist is revealed first. The tribulation won't happen until "He who now letteth will let, until He be taken out of the way, and THEN shall that Wicked be revealed". 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 The Holy Spirit is "He" in the above quote and He dwells in me and ALL born again Christians. We will be removed and thus He will be taken out of the way. Once we're gone, the whole world will be unbelievers EXCEPT those like my dad who said that he will believe if millions of Christians disappear. Many will be saved IN the tribulation.
I would disagree with your comments on this one Jimd. I believe we are in the beginning days of the Tribulation. My opinion. Opinions are like assholes we all have one, as do you. Many people are going to bed hungry at night, you appear to be unaware. However, many have always gone to bed hungry at night across the ages for various reasons. Who can say this early in the Trib? Regarding the trumpets of Revelation, that very clearly means the trumpets sounding in HEAVEN. I assume you are a "rapture believer", by your comment that "the antichrist is confirmed after we are gone". I assume that you mean "we" are the elect mentioned in Mathew 24. It does not sound like you have read Mathew 24 and understood the words of Jesus. Your Thessalonians declaration quote is an opinion that is disputed by many who study the Scriptures on in your assessment. I have never understood why so many Rapture believers refuse to read the words of Jesus Christ in Mathew 24. The only thing I can come up with is that it is wishful thinking based upon obscure "beliefs and conjecture" on versus of the bible that do not directly discuss when the elect will be brought up by Jesus Christ and his angels when he comes on the clouds to gather the elect as Jesus Christ TOLD about, as it was spoken of personally by Jesus Christ in Mathew 24. The Holy Spirit does indeed dwell in all born again believers in Jesus Christ. I choose to believe the EXACT WORDS of Jesus Christ in Mathew 24 as opposed to an interpretation of individuals who wish that interpretation and others like it were true, versus what Jesus Christ directly said about the matter in Mathew 24. Thank you for your commentary. I just have to disagree.
Apparently you had not read my comment. I know you didn't read it because you wouldn't have said "It does not sound like you have read Matthew 24 and understood the words of Jesus". In fact, you didn't read ANY of it because of your comment "I assume you are a Rapture believer". I wrote the whole comment based on the pre trib rapture position. You don't believe in the Rapture because you don't LOOK and READ for yourself as you have demonstrated here by not reading my comment. If you don't read a comment directed at you, how much less are you going to read the Bible? You have adopted your own worldview and you don't have one of your own, if you did, you would engage me in a debate by READING my comments to you. Matthew 24 is NOT FOR CHRISTIANS IN THE AGE OF GRACE which we are in now. Jesus words in Matthew were for the JEWS IN THE TIME OF THE TRIBULATION. "When you see the abomination of desolation, flee to the mountains" 24:15 and "he that endureth to the end shall be saved". 24:13 Do we have to "endure to the end" to be saved? NO! Salvation is utterly free to us in this AGE. The Jews and the unsaved WILL have to endure to the end of the TRIBULATION and not take the mark of the beast. MATTHEW 24 IS FOR THE JEWS.
You really are hard headed Jimd. I read ALL of your commentary several times. I disagree. I explained why I made every comment. Regarding the rest of your commentary here where you focused on two different things. You said "Mathew 24 is not for Christians in the age of grace is incorrect. The entire chapter was spoken in the days of Jesus to the people he was trying to enlighten, mainly Jews in that day, and anyone in the future regarding what would happen the day he comes for the elect on the clouds. Does that mean in your mind, that everything Jesus spoke of in the Bible, was not to the Christians of this day, or any other Christians of the last 2,000 plus years??? You are quite "proudly" spouting a lot of nonsense regarding Scripture. I have run into many self proclaimed individuals who are experts on the Bible, which I read most every day, and many times over, in my 69 years of life (probably 10 times or more cumulatively) (my wife and I read a chapter each day in the bible still to this day), and I became a believer at 8 years of age. I have read my bible and many different bibles for the last 61 years. I attend church regularly and give to my church and other Christian based projects across the globe. I quite properly gave you my own beliefs and told you that I did not subscribe specifically to your "Rapture" beliefs, be they pre trib, post trib, or anything else that Jesus did not say in Mathew 24, based upon interpretations of other versus throughout the bible that you say absolutely proves your interpretations correct. When I say you are hard headed, I mean it literally from your comments towards me, whether I read your commentary, or not, in posts to me directly. I did. You refuse to believe that fact. That makes you hard headed and wishing to argue for arguments sake, basically calling me a liar. I take offense to that. That is VERY un-Christian of you. Your second comment regarding Mathew 23:13 and 15, regarding "enduring to the end" and "seeing the abomination of desolation, flee to the mountains" are absolute drivel, and I will point out the reason Mathew 24 was spoken of by Jesus Christ is to warn people that when he does come on the clouds, the elect will be gathered by the angels to be brought to Jesus to take to heaven whether they have died in the last 2,100 years, or are still living, and that he spoke of people disappearing right next to those who will not be gathered, SPECIFICALLY to be taken as the elect to reign with Jesus Christ, from that day forward. NEVER in the Bible does Jesus say any of that as pointedly and specifically as he does throughout Mathew 24 and yes, it was for all peoples to hear and read about then and in the future, through the Bible. You have got dividing on your hard headed brain and you are incorrect. I tried to say so nicely. Your attack upon me personally, makes that difficult. So, now I have given you more specifics and I will caution you once again to read Mathew 24 over and over until you understand how it fits into the message of Jesus Christ all through the New Testament, to gather the elect at his appointed time, not by your interpretations, not versus throughout the Bible you wish to interpret to fit "YOUR NARRATIVE" of a rapture that I consider to be discredited by the spoken words of Jesus Christ in Mathew 24. While I do not think that your misinterpretations could possibly endanger your position to be one of the elect, to be gathered by Jesus Christ and his angels at the appointed time of his return on the clouds, I do consider your misinterpretations to be misleading to the elect and others just coming to embrace Jesus Christ, and falsely made, which makes them dangerous and confusing doctrine you are sowing. Back to my opinion again with that said. We all have opinions. You do you. I will do me. The entire Mathew Chapter 24 is the definitive word of Jesus Christ about when the believers of the elect of Jesus Christ, are gathered by Jesus and his angels to be with him from that future date forward. I will not respond to anymore of your commentary. I have made my position crystal clear regarding the direct spoken teachings of Jesus Christ. I consider the matter closed.
Rick, Please read this carefully THREE TIMES. I am a very serious seeker of TRUTH. The Truth of the Bible mostly but truth in ALL matters. It is my reason for living. (I use the only PRESERVED written word, the KJV; all other versions are produced by the world, copied from errant manuscripts of the Gnostics in Alexandria, made to make MONEY – BILLIONS - and to obfuscate the truth; watering down the Deity of Christ, this is a lengthy study which every born again Christian should conduct; I’m still learning continually about that subject) I also ASK God to bless me with wisdom, discernment and understanding mostly EVERY time I pray 3X daily at least, sometimes for hours.
You call me “hard headed” but you say this based on my PASSION and LOVE OF TRUTH. I don’t allow anyone to steal my “Blessed Hope” (Titus 2:13) I will defend the TRUTH with everything that is in me and THAT is what I am doing here. If you want to call that “hard headed”, fine, but it is the Holy Spirit in me that motivates me. You’ll forgive me if I am not always “polite” in this.
Defending this truth is taking all my time and energy these days but I must do what I must do. I’m a 61 year old retired (so thankfully!) chef a CEC, Certified Executive Chef. I have studied this subject for 40 years and as I said in previous comments on this thread, I was once unsure but had my “opinion” however I was not satisfied with not being SURE about this very important issue; the pre trib Rapture of the church. You admitted that what you hold to is YOUR OPINION (quite shockingly colorfully I might add).
I do not rely on my "opinion" or anyone else’s but I seek the TRUTH of what God has intended for us to know as Christians living in this age, directly before the coming of Jesus Christ to the air to take out His Bride. My opinion is of no use to anyone. I am not content to just have an opinion on Scripture, I have sifted it for FACTS for many years. Paul tells us that there are no “opinions” in Scripture in 2 Peter 1:21; I am confident of this topic and that is why I am so bold in defending it.
That we are already in the tribulation is completely contrary to what the Bible teaches. I have said almost all I am going to say on this subject but will highlight just a few more things before I go.
Matthew 24 is what you are basing your entire argument upon which, as I said, is Jesus' warning to the Jews about the time of the tribulation, and He is speaks of the END of the Tribulation when Jesus comes back WITH His church (who were taken 7 years earlier) to defeat the false prophet and the antichrist before setting up His Millennial Kingdom.
We Christians will not see the abomination of desolation that Jesus speaks about because we will be hidden away with Jesus in our CHAMBERS. You fail to grasp the full horror of the tribulation AKA, “Time of Jacob’s Trouble” (Jeremiah 30:7) when BILLIONS with an “s” will die!
Here is just one more of many examples of God’s Plan for the end times…
"Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead."
"Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast." Isaiah 26:19-20
The Bible has doctrine peppered throughout its pages, OT and NT as I already mentioned. (for precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little) Isaiah 28:10
When you attempt to hang an entire doctrine (or a debate) on only one section of Scripture (as in your case and in most Rapture deniers cases which all go to Matthew 24) you are not rightly dividing; without which the Scriptural meaning is lost.
I have done my best to attempt to enlighten you on this subject but it seems you are content with your "opinion" of what the Bible says. I will humbly exit this conversation and apologize for my harsh use of language in this debate. I am PASSIONATE about these things and in these last days I find myself defending the true doctrine of the pre trib Rapture (which is the JOY of my Blessed Hope) MORE THAN AT ANY OTHER TIME OF MY LIFE AS A BELIEVER and this serves Bible prophecy also.
"knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 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 creation.” 2 Peter 3:3-4.
I will leave you with one more topic to study: Are you aware that the teachings of Jesus were DIFFERENT than the teachings of Paul? In fact Jesus told the Jews in His Day not to go to the Gentiles but only to the Jews! (Matthew 10:5) Paul is the apostle to WE, the Gentiles. And it is the Gospel of Jesus Christ which He gave to Paul and which Paul calls “my gospel” (Romans 16:25; 2:16; Titus 2:8) The Holy Spirit of God did not instruct Paul to write to Timothy telling him to "rightly divide" the word of truth for no reason! (2 Timothy 2:13)
You have mentioned Matthew chapter 24 ad nauseum; more than numerous times in your comments without referencing any other Scripture, (by the way, Matthew has TWO t’s) but as I said, Scripture must be taken as a WHOLE yet divided into proper DISPENSATIONS, understanding the WHOLE CONTEXT and to WHOM the chapters and verses are speaking. If one does not do this the Bible seems to have many contradictions and cannot be fully understood.
This is what I have learned over my years of study. Not long ago, I didn’t know how to rightly divide Scripture (about 14 years ago) but someone enlightened me to dispensational teaching, someone like MYSELF, writing in a comment thread. I looked into it and found it to be not only solid truth but the Bible was opened up to me in a whole NEW WAY and what I once thought of as contradictions and unclear teaching became CRYSTAL clear to me.
Notice how many different books of the Bible I have quoted in my comments which, when put together help one to understand Matthew 24. I have used the whole Bible, OT and NT in my debate and you have mentioned only ONE chapter. Get the book “Dispensational Truth” by Clarence Larkin. It helped me learn how to rightly divide and when I began rightly dividing (dispensationally), my life as a Christian advanced 10 fold in every aspect of learning, hermeneutics, understanding AND FAITH.
Are “Conspiracy Theories” controlled? 🤔 That would depend on varying factors.
Who came up with the “theory”, is questioning and why?
Are there facts to back up the theory?
Is there a certain faction that wants to push a certain agenda?
Is there a certain faction that wants to supress Truth?
If information is controlled and not allowed to be accessed, then in a way a theory would be controlled because A LOT of things labeled “Conspiracy Theories” are Conspiracy Facts.
Just because there is a conspiracy does not mean it’s a theory.
Haven’t many thought/contemplated “things” and delved into researching and found Truth on varying topics? To me one of the biggest conspiracies is using the term “Conspiracy Theory” to have peeps think Truth Seekers are nutters. No one should believe anything anyone “says” just because they said it was true.
So after blathering on - are all “Conspiracy Theories” controlled - NO, but some may be….like the J6 Insurrection Conspiracy Theory-there was NO insurrection and good people are rotting in jail. “Flat Earth” is attempted to be silenced and controlled by those intentionally put in place to make “Flat Earthers” seem loony with “Flat Earth” websites & YT’s that are ridiculous, whereas if one watches or reads some documentaries presented by Truth seekers and follows up with research on info presented….totally different outlook
The very item, "conspiracy theory" was invented to divide people and it has been very effective. Along with every other manufactured division they have created, the people are now divided more than at any other time in modern history. We all know someone on the other side, who believes everything they're told by the media. You can now get much more truth by believing the OPPOSITE of what the MSM says than you could be believing their lies especially on those subjects pushed the hardest, e.g. SARS-CoV-2 and its alleged preventative.
Ugh, Couldn't begin to watch the penguin video. :(
Me either. Such lovable little birds. Absolutely adorable. So sad to see them dying like the rest of the oceans (and those of the air) creatures. We're next.
Marine birds and fish have always had a difficult life. Sometimes they end up dying together in large numbers. Each case is generally for a different reason. The oceans are NOT dying. They certainly are under attack by stupid people. My wife and I were walking the beach yesterday and the fishermen there had an 18" shark they had just landed and they told us that they were going to have shark ceviche. Carnivore predators eating another carnivore predator. The way of the world. That is how life is. Not easy for anybody or anything.
We are dying of stupid. So yes, you are correct in the point, but i just watched a rescue of no less than 5 whale sharks trapped in a net in Indonesia, and if the visiting divers hadn't seen it, well, ya know. They taste good. Right?
No humans, we are going to have all the fun diseases they are reintroducing to the first world. I heard typhus and TB are making a come back! Anyone for the plague on your bingo card?
No one likes whales, porpoises, turtles, dolphins, etc in nets that are designed for some other types of fish. I certainly do not, it is unfortunate. Hopefully, more rescues will occur. I am unaware that there is anything but nets for catching fish to eat, since man has been fishing. And fishing with nets was done all throughout Biblical times by mankind. God gave mankind stewardship of all the fish, the birds, and the animals. Mankind has not been doing a great job the last 50 years with that stewardship. However the oceans are a huge place and only certain types of fishing has depleted the fish stock worldwide, due to overfishing certainly. It can and will be brought under control I believe. Conservation efforts are underway and have been for the last 15 years. One hopes for success in all of those endeavors. Thank you for your comment Chickie Galore. Yes, man suffers from stupid more often than not... But man can learn, if enough voices are raised. There is much to correct, not just fishing issues. Your disgust shows through and rightly so. I have so many issues with mankind, it would take years to list I sometimes think. There are many men and organizations who we are fighting against world problems for greed. And yet, the forces to battle them effectively in all issues are growing. Keep fighting for good and right. Never give an inch.
We are next and possibly more deserving. I just love them, too. And pretty much anything else with feathers. ;)
Feathers, fur, even scales, I love ALL of God's animals (I must admit, the cutest and definitely the most cuddleable are the ones with fur) and I would love to hold a penguin! There's one of the furry, canine variety sleeping on my bed right now! : )
thank you
