Billy Graham Thoughts...
As you know Billy Graham has passed away and there has been plenty of coverage on various sites about the potential prophetic implications. Could Billy represent a modern day Methuselah who passed just days before The Flood came? Could the passing of this man who helped bring so many into The Church represent the soon end of the Church Age?? Could this passing and the numerous news stories and conversations be one last preaching of the Good News to the whole world??? Could there really be something to the dreams people had indicating that the Rapture would take place soon after his death? Time will tell, but with all of the other signs we have seen it is hard not to take notice of the significance of this event and all it could entail.
Another thing that many of us have noticed was the division that the passig of this man (yes, he was just a man) has brought to the surface. Many love him... and clearly some don't. I for one am so thankful for this man who spent his life sharing the good news in such an approachable way. While he was not perfect (only Jesus has that bullet point on His resume), so let us remember that none of us are. With that in mind, here are two resources that I found today that strike the perfect balance in this situation and unfortunate division we are seeing. First, from But That's Just Me.....
In closing, to me Billy was a great example of what God can do when someone submits thier life wholly to Him. I remember watching his old videos when I was first saved and seeing the crowds of people leave there seats and make their way to the center of various stadiums to accept Christ. I love how he would reassure the indecisive people that their buses would wait for them if they came down! I can just imagine all the people feeling the nudge to walk forward but then the devil would plant a seed of worry in there heart as a last ditch effort. "Don't walk all the way down there, you will miss the bus and be stranded far from home. Everyone will leave and you will be left behind. Just sit there." Then Billy would assure them there rides would not leave and that last bit of worry would vanish and they would rush down and cash in their ticket for eternal life! Seeing those moments will never get old! Be blessed family... Jesus is coming soon... and before we know it we will be there beside Brother Billy in glory!

First off I will start by posting something for my fellow “truthers” to consider before they cast judgment on this and before we stand before God himself soon.http://www.but-thatsjustme.com/billy-graham-passes-away-99/
Satan would never teach that the only way to God is through Jesus. Satan would never want any man to know that they needed to repent and accept that Jesus is God and came to this Earth as a man to take on our sins by dying in our place to save our souls. Satan would never push forward anyone that pushes the Gospel of Jesus! What Satan would do is use people to disparage those who do teach the Gospel. What Satan would do is to turn brothers and sisters against each other with the hope of breaking us apart and causing division by using pride and arrogance of thinking we are above others because we possess some unknown truth that others do not have. What Satan would do is make sure any truthers in the truther movement who are not saved will not even consider salvation by making those who do teach the Gospel of Jesus seem irrelevant and as if they are not true. God says to judge a man by the fruit he produces. How many people found Jesus and were saved because God led Billy Graham to teach them the truth? Any bad works that he may have done in his life because he is just a mere flawed human (as are we all) will be burned away in the fire but, what will stand and what will never change is that this man brought thousands to Jesus and introduced them to salvation.
Second, listen to Samantha White on the subject. I love her approach on this topic and her clear love for Christ in all her videos. (You may know her if you watched the Zeus Mossbender video that was shared last week.) She is fairly new to YT and if you aren't familiar with her please subscribe to her channel and be blessed. She covers a lot of the topics that have been discussed on this page and others. (15 Minutes)

DeleteSorry Billy has many videos of him talking that Jesus was not the only way but all faiths lead to God. Only Christ knows if he was truly saved or not. There are millions in hell that had good intentions but were truly wrong.
ReplyDeleteVery true, Richard. Thank you for being a HONEST Christian and not a postmortal hypocrite. BG preached the plain "Catholic Cross" right from the start as everyone is able to research for himself (and never left that message!) and of course Satan would preach 'Jesus is the only way as soon as he can then twist the rest of the gospel and biblical doctrine! Dear Brad, obviously you have been so much deceived by this man, this is to me another prophetic sign along Matthew 24:24! And NO this is not a matter 'between BG and God' because wolves in sheep clothing have to be marked and exposed by name like Alexander the smith and many others as the apostles commanded and lived it for the SAKE OF THE BODY OF CHRIST. No offense but this approach here is not biblical at all. This man was NOT a 'Methusalah' he was a true 'Baalam'. And I am glad to see that there are sheep like you Richard to recognize the wolf where so many deceived don't. MARANATHA brother! Galatians 1:8-9
DeleteI've read the argument of old; that we must not judge. That's what we've been told these past 5 years or so every time a so called Christian is called out for teaching an untruth. Well I've sure had my share of feeling guilty for speaking up when the truth found in God's word is twisted ever so slightly. And I've seen that a little twist along with some truth mixed in to make it seem innocent is deadly. Don't believe it when you're told that a little twist does no harm; it harms all right and can be absolutely deadly. I will continue to call it a lie, no matter how tiny it may seem it is still a lie. John 4:24 This is not a balanced view at all; you've given one perspective and one only. I'd like to see both sides of this issue please. Also - did you research these dreams that are being spoken about, concerning the rapture happening after the death of Billy Graham? I have; and I do not hold out any encouragement at all from them.
DeleteWas Billy Graham himself not a freemason? Right there from my perspective he loses all credibility. That and the multiple ways of getting to the Father, not only through Jesus comment he's made. Wolves in sheep's clothing spreading truth with lies.
DeleteFred dear brother, this "argument of old" if brought up always (!) in such case - mostly combined with some 'Oh, nobody's perfect before God!' phrase - and it is already a straight fallacy because if Christians would know their bibles they would know what to do: Matthew 7:15 / 1 Corinthians 5:12-13 / 1 Corinthians 6:2-3 / 2 Peter 2:1 (and the whole chapter 2 following) / 1 John 2:4 +6 (as a means how to recognize true from false brethren) /Jude 22-23 likewise every passage exposing false brethren by name. OF COURSE WE JUDGE: WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BIBLICALLY! Blessings to you!
DeleteBe careful to lift your hand of pride against the Lord's anointed.... 1 Sam 24:6
DeleteI take this discussion as a serious prelude to the upcoming period of Revelation 13:15 because people like Richard, Fred, me and (a few!) others will then be literally KILLED for standing up for the truth. Praise God He saved us before that will happen. But the spiritual blindness and hatred against the brethren (Matthew 24:49) can already be tasted here. MARANATHA, come quickly, LORD Jesus!
DeleteHi dear Annabel, and all these few! I'm definitely with you, and I fully agree with all your thoughts! This is, in my opinion, the greatest sign of the Lord's return for us, very-very soon! Be blessed very abundantly! I want to see you all really soon! Maranatha!
DeleteThank you, Brad. And thanks for putting Samantha’s video up. I was glad to be introduced to this young woman by Paul. Her love and faith just shine
ReplyDeleteAnd knowing she recently had to see her beloved husband go home ahead of her with 2 little ones to care for makes her joy even more contagious. If only more in my backyard could grasp that same strength that is so readily available, they might not feel so beat up all the time. Love and prayers for her!
And blessings to you and yours, Brother:-)
Thank you for the prayers Sheila. Glad you enjoy Samamtha as well. Her positive attitude is certainly contagious. Keep looking up my friend!!
DeleteHello BradMe too I want to say thank you to for posting the artucles , updates , and wonderful video of Samantha, truly a blessing to see her passion for the Lord and direct ing everyone to the word of God

DeleteAs biblical based discernment seems to be a not widespread nor prominent gift in the body of Christ (as to be seen with the BG discussion), here's another good example for an exact "MANASSEH-TYPE" situation of the church today (read 2 Chronicles 33 if you dont know the story) which also proves that we're living in the last days: Benny Hinn pleads guilty of preaching prosperity gospel for decades says he should have perhaps consulted the bible earlier what God says about it (found via Dailycrow yesterday, FYI...) I had to LOL really loud because Billy Graham did the same thing with the "Jesus is the way" message in America, now DECADES later it is indeed TOO LATE for correction. Come quickly LORD Jesus, have mercy with your people!
ReplyDeleteJesus our Lord said in John chapter 3:3 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus[a] by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again[b] he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
DeleteSo I ask you - may I tell people that no, you don't need to be born again so don't worry about that; you'll be in Heaven without that. [George H. W. Bush asked Graham, “Billy, some people say you have to have a born-again experience to go to heaven. Mother here is the most religious, kind person I know, yet she has had no born-again experience. Will she go to heaven?” Graham’s response: “George, some of us require a born-again experience to understand God, and some of us are born Christians. It sounds as if your mom was just born a Christian” ] DO WE EVEN NEED JESUS AS OUR SAVIOR TO BE SAVED? WELL APPARENTLY NOT! BUT THAT'S OKAY TO LEAD PEOPLE STRAIGHT TO HELL IS IT? In Graham’s infamous 1997 interview with Robert Schuller, Graham said God is: “…calling people out of the world for His name, whether they come from the Muslim world, or the Buddhist world, or the Christian world or the non-believing world, they are members of the body of Christ because they’ve been called by God. They may not even know the name of Jesus, but they know in their hearts that they need something that they don’t have, and they turn to the only light that they have, and I think that they are saved.… I’ve met people in various parts of the world in tribal situations, that they have never seen a Bible or heard about a Bible, and never heard of Jesus, but they’ve believed in their hearts that there was a God, and they’ve tried to live a life that was quite apart from the surrounding community in which they lived.” CAN'T YOU SEE HE IS ECUMENICAL?

DeleteHey brothers and sisters i pray all is well exciting times we live in we all need to focus on the finished work of our savior Jesus Christ amen love you all !!!!
DeleteAnnabel I certainly am feeling your passion and your concern with the church's present status. It is lukewarm non biblically-based and seeking to be a Friendly Church, and not a Godly Church. As I mentioned in my previous post, years ago I had come across multiple articles about Billy Graham and the different associations or rather partnerships with, what I would call organizations against God's word. Nevertheless I do know people and close friends that were saved at some of his Crusades I helped with one of his crusades. Now that he has passed away I wonder if the people who were saved at his Crusades are still saved. I also wonder if they are looking at what they have done with their lives, and are they i felliwship with the Lord or was it a mere level of excitement that brought them to say yes to the invitation and then walk away.
ReplyDeleteWe are at a time on this plane t where its difficult to find a church that preaches the word. It is interesting to see our own family divided. Many are interested in the latest movie the latest Tecno Gadget or checking their Facebook updates and there is lil amount of time to spend with the Lord and to grow. What concerns me the most is the lack of awareness of the times of the season, not knowing that any moment Jesus will come to take us home. With that lack of awareness of the times, there is also a lack of discernment in the church. Discernment keeps us in check and watching. Lord bless u
Dear VeeBee, TY very much for your sober attitude and concern for the church! Yes of course everybody saved during a BG crusade REMAINS saved as salvation is always Gods work alone and not of men, not of Graham either. Therefore, NONE of which are sealed with the Holy Spirit can ever fall away (John 10:27-29 / Romans 38-39). BUT as Richard said above, there are even more that unfortunately got deceived by BG's Catholic works doctrine (which to utter a sinners prayer or follow an altar call is also part of) and later on only betrayed themselves. You can always know them by their fruits and by their walk and belief in life 1 John 2:19. Especially the 1st John letter is full of teaching on discernment of false brethren and false teachers so I do highly recommend it as lecture for everyone here. Bless you Jesus always and keep you on track, much love to you! :)
DeleteBorn November 7, 1918, on his family's dairy farm near Charlotte, Mr Graham came from a fundamentalist background that expected true Bible-believers to stay clear of Christians with even the most minor differences over Scripture.
DeleteBut he came to reject that view for a more ecumenical approach.
He was ordained a Southern Baptist, but later joined a then-emerging movement called New Evangelicalism that abandoned the narrowness of fundamentalism.
Fundamentalists excoriated him for his new direction and broke with him when he agreed to work with more liberal Christians in the 1950s.
Mr Graham stood fast.
"The ecumenical movement has broadened my viewpoint and I recognise now that God has his people in all churches," he said in the early 1950s.
In 1957, he said: "I intend to go anywhere, sponsored by anybody, to preach the Gospel of Christ."
His approach helped evangelicals gain the influence they have today. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-02-22/billy-graham-dies-aged-99/9472846
Dear family in Christ Jesus, you may take it or leave it, condemn me or not for telling you the truth (which EVERY true Christian should be a friend of) but after having watched Brads nice and cosy idolization video here please take another 35 minutes of your precious time to open your eyes to the Illuminati puppet of Billy Graham, this is VITAL that you may understand the state of deception you're in and to "see the DAY (of even more deception!!) approaching": Billy Graham Televangelists gone and exposed (Truthneversleeps YT channel) Don't you see that all this media politics was just paving the way for the upcoming 2 Thessalonians 2 wrath of God? Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth? Galatians 4:16 Much love to you all, wake up and share the truth instead of worshipping the deceiver!
ReplyDeleteAnnabel I can clearly see that BG is being used for propaganda by those who seek unity no matter what. I also see that it is vital that Christians stick closely to the truth and call out any deviations. It's not only our welfare we should be concerned about; but the welfare of those who aren't knowledgeable about what is truth. This to me is another case of making every excuse under the sun for someone who is known as a Christian and must not be judged. Matthew 10:16
Deletememorable quotes BG:
ReplyDeleteON SANCTIFICATION
“Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion—it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.”
ON MONEY
“There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches. The wrong comes when riches possess men.”
ON COURAGE
“Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spine of others are often stiffened.”
ON HARDSHIP
“Mountaintops are for views and inspiration, but fruit is grown in the valleys.”
ON COMFORT
“Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has.”
ON COMMUNITY
“Churchgoers are like coals in a fire. When they cling together, they keep the flame aglow; when they separate, they die out.”
ON JUDGING OTHERS
“It is the Holy Spirit’s job to convict, God’s job to judge and my job to love.”
ON HONESTY
“Don’t ever hesitate to take to [God] whatever is on your heart. He already knows it anyway, but He doesn’t want you to bear its pain or celebrate its joy alone.”
ON JESUS
“Many people are willing to have Jesus as part of their lives—as long as it doesn’t cost them anything. They may even profess faith in Jesus and join a church. But Jesus to them is almost like an insurance policy—something they obtain and then forget about until they die. What keeps you from being His disciple?”
ON BIBLE READING
“The very practice of reading [the Bible] will have a purifying effect upon your mind and heart. Let nothing take the place of this daily exercise.”
ON GOD’S LOVE
“Sin is the second most powerful force in the universe, for it sent Jesus to the cross. Only one force is greater—the love of God.”
ON EVANGELISM
“The greatest form of praise is the sound of consecrated feet seeking out the lost and helpless.”
ON SALVATION
“Salvation is an act of God. It is initiated by God, wrought by God, and sustained by God.”
ON HOPE
“I’ve read the last page of the Bible. It’s all going to turn out all right.”
Ahmein. When I heard about all the stuff being said about Billy Graham Mathew 12 came to mind.
ReplyDelete22Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see. 23All the people were astonished and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”
24But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.”
25Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. 26If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? 27And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 28But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
29“Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.
As someone pointed out in previous posts BG may have strayed from the word in his later years. I agree with the comments of Annabel, VeeBee, Robert.
ReplyDeleteI dought that he signals any marker for the rapture.
But it is a flag to make sure your doctrin is correct that anchors yourself in the BODY OF CHRIST.
Just read I NEVER NEW YOU
The horror of the white throne judgement. Seeing big flames on the Bima seat for BG.

Delete- 1963: ‘I admire Pope John tremendously... I felt he brought a new era to the World’
- 1967: Honorary degree by Catholic Belmont Abbey College.

- 1978: Poland at Pozan’s Catholic Church. He prayed ‘The Holy Spirit would unite the hearts of the Roman Catholics & Protestants’.
- 1978: ‘I praise the greatness of the present Pope Paul the sixth’.
- 1978: ‘I am far more tolerant of other kinds of Christians than I once was. My contact with Catholics, Lutheran & other leaders...has helped me, hopefully, to move in the right direction. I found that my beliefs are essentially the same as those of orthodox Catholics. We only differ on some matters of later church tradition.'
- 1979 : ‘The visit of Pope John Paul II to the United States is an event of great significance...for all Americans - as well as the world. A new interest in spiritual matters could be the beginning of a new wave of spiritual revival in our nation. The Pope’s visit comes at a critical time in our world. My prayers & the prayers of countless other Protestants will be with him as he makes his journey’.
- 1979: Phil Donahue show, of the Pope: ‘I think the American people are looking for a leader, a moral & spiritual leader that believes something. & the Pope does. Thank God, I’ve got somebody to quote now with some real authority.’
- 1980: ‘Pope John Paul the second is one of the greatest moral and spiritual leaders of this century. He is an evangelist.’
Delete'He has sought to speak to the spiritual hunger of our age in the same way Christians throughout the centuries have spoken to the spiritual yearning of every age!’
- 1988: ‘World travel & getting to know the clergy of all denominations has helped mould me into an ecumenical being’.

More than 100 of its leaders have been cited for aiding communists organisations.
- 1991: At a National Council of Churches meeting he praised: ‘There’s no group of people in the world that I would rather be with right now than you all...we follow with great interest the things you do...& I love everybody equally & I have no problem in fellowship with anybody who says that Jesus Christ is Lord’.
- Episcopal Bishop James Pike’s Cathedral, Council of Churches meeting, Graham prayed for ‘success of the current assembly of National Council of Churches’.

Amen – very great Amen to all of this! This is the real Sign of the Rapture! Come Lord quickly!
DeleteFred, you must have been really busy compiling all of those comments spanning the ministry of BG. I'd love to know how you took the time to individually vet them? Unless, of course, someone else already had them compiled and ready to distribute - which is sickening in my view.
DeleteJonathan, the Great White Throne judgement and the BEMA seat judgement are not the same thing. And as far as seeing flames, well, we all will. Each work we've done will be put through the fire and tested.
DeleteI don’t believe anyone here is “worshipping” anyone other than our God. Difference of opinion regarding the relevance of another man’s walk in this world—yes, plenty of that. I’ve read it all and watched it all and have chosen to defer to our God’s judgement due to the fact that I DON’T KNOW what transpired between this man and God. I will pray like I do for any other human being in accordance with John 3:16. If trying to walk in the same Grace I’ve been afforded is akin to being a deceived fool, then that is the chance I’d rather take. And personally, I think it’s the only way to beat the devil at his own game. Love you all and praying for peace. Even so, Lord, come VERY quickly!
ReplyDeleteAmen, Sheila!
DeleteI’m just clarifying...who died again? Joseph Stalin or Jack the Ripper? I can’t tell from the comments, but it was obviously a horrible person that passed. Hopefully, they weren’t saved so we can watch them burn for eternity!!!
DeleteOh Pharisee, you strain at a gnat but swallow a camel.
As for me, I’m that thief on the cross asking for Jesus to please remember me!
I remember the last revival that I hosted. The crowd was enormous...me and....oh wait, that was all in my head. Anyway, I CRUSHED it and EVERYONE was saved because of....well because of me! Not!
Come Lord Jesus...seriously, we’re falling apart down here!
Amen, Lance!
DeleteAmen amen amen amen love you my sisters in Christ amen
DeleteI see the accuser of the brethren is very busy in this post. What a shame.
ReplyDeleteAMEN MK SMITH & SHELIA . Why does one want to keep on beating a dead horse to death ( sorry for the pun ) the man is dead and it totally between him and God now, several people have spoke their peace and that should be the end of it on comments from those individuals. We have far more important things to attend to now ( time is SO short ) why were still here in the flesh than to keep trying to Prove what this one man did or did not here during his ministry. I visit these sites to fellowship with my brethren and to keep up with any end time eschatology , NOT to feel like I am in a war zone. I will apologize ahead of time for my so called raw wording my line of work is in medicine and not the arts so my conversation is very plain and simple.
DeleteMARNATHA DONNA
Amen, Donna! Pointing out unscriptural things -in a Christlike manner- is very important. On the other hand, when it comes to someone's final eternal destination, that's solely between them and the Lord and He is the only One who judges that. As Sheila mentioned, we don't know what transpires between a person and the Lord -especially in their final hours- and only the Lord knows the hearts of men.
DeleteI’m thinking maybe the Body needs to be concentrating on Eph.5:16 and knowing Eph.6:12.
DeleteWe all know what the Dragon’s desire is...to divide and conquer.
But our LORD is Sovereign and all of His will shall be accomplished.
That is one thing the entire Body of Christ actually does know for a certainty.
Much love and blessings all along the wall:-)
Sheila, Amen, we are led by the spirit of God and intercede for the Lost. We take comfort knowing that our Redemption draws nigh
DeleteAmen, Sheila!

Delete"If you went for a walk in the woods, but then decided to wander off the path, and found yourself surrounded by a thicket of thorns and poison ivy, who would you blame? Would you blame the person who built the path? No, of course not. Instead you'd blame yourself if you were honest, because you alone were responsible for wandering from the path.
ReplyDeleteIn a far deeper way, this is what happens when we decide to leave God out of our lives. For a time, it may seem like wandering away from Him doesn't make any difference; it may even seem easier and freer. But eventually it catches up with us—just as wandering off that path and into the thicket caught up with you." —Billy Graham
Now is this proof positive Billy Graham fell on his face in repentance for his misstatements and doctrinal errors? No, but if we had only the life of the Thief on the Cross as evidence we would know without question he is in hell. But, by the Grace of God we are allowed to know his final thoughts and conversation with our Lord and Savior and by this alone are we encouraged to know his life is covered by the Blood and He is with Jesus.
State your opinion, if you feel led, and leave it alone. Anything beyond that is gossip and pride. We address a believer Biblically in person and with 2 witnesses in the assembly to which they are submitted. The reason for that is so that their sin does not infect the rest of the body. For this reason only, I believe the stated opinions of his doctrinal misstatements are acceptable so others in the Body of Christ do not think he was correct. Once you get beyond that, it’s gossip and you’re dragging others into sin by doing so.
One only has been given authority to Judge and that is Jesus Christ. When we stand before Him at the BEMA we will stand on the foundation which is Jesus Christ and our Faith in His Blood and His Faith, not ours lest any should boast. When we sit down upon the throne of judgement in His stead, we become a Gold Star graduate of the Class of Pride taught by none other than Satan himself. More importantly, we invite others to study with us at the very feet of the Deceiver.
Every Christian will stand at BEMA to be judged for the things done in the body. If we have built with wood, hay and stubble it will be burned up. But, if there is any Gold, Silver or Precious Stones it will have been built by the Grace and Power of God through His Holy Spirit in us and despite our own shortcomings and failures.
Sorry Gary, just not quite done.
Part 2 -
ReplyDeleteI came to Christ as a very young girl and there have been times in my life when anyone inspecting the fruit in my life would have found it to be a very quick job indeed. However, He has always found me where I had wandered in my disobedience and wrong thinking and brought me back to him. He did not do that because of who I am, but because of Who and What He is. He would never have allowed me to slip from this earth without bringing me back into His arms, for He is the Faithful One and it is in Him I boast.
I believe if anyone began sifting through my life and some of my comments they might have reason to suspect whether or not I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. However, I know any suspicions are simply not true. I have stumbled, like Peter, I have doubted like Thomas and I have railed like the prophets, but never has anyone including myself been able to remove me from my Father's hand. I trust not in what my flawed speaking my relate, I trust not in what someone's twisted interpretation of what I said might relate, I trust in the Bible and in Jesus Christ who redeemed me by His Precious Blood and in His own Word when He said, Father I have not lost even one. Billy Graham's last written message before his death spoke of leaving the path and the pain it causes. I attended one of his crusades after I was saved and my Spirit told me he was a Child of God. Some of his doctrinal statements spoke of error, but then I am not saved by my doctrinal statements, but by the Blood of Jesus Christ. His Fruit speaks he was a child of God and that is how we are instructed to judge. God has already handled the rest of it. I am grateful I am so insignificant to the world that no one will ever feel the need to sift through my life looking for garbage that I intentionally, stupidly or inadvertently spoke for I am sure they could find it. Nonetheless, I am His, I am Loved and I am going home when He is ready for me to do so and nothing anyone spews about me can change that. Blessings in the Mighty Name of Jesus who is able to hold us close to Him and keep us to the Day, whether we deserve it or not. He is my Righteousness for I have none of my own. Blessings in the Mighty Name of Jesus and I praise God for all His Saints, warts and all - Sherry
Amen, Amen, Sherry.
DeleteI'd like to say (the same I said in the Unsealed thread),looking at my own Christian walk experience, I can absolutely relate!
Delete"I came to Christ as a very young girl and there have been times in my life when anyone inspecting the fruit in my life would have found it to be a very quick job indeed.

Amen!
Sherry...truth bomb. Well said!
DeleteYes indeed, Sherry! And, I do take this time to ask forgiveness from anyone here whom I may have offended in prior posts. Or, those I may have hurt and honestly, at this time, there is only one person I can think of at this time - and Gods Warrior, again, I am sorry and I do apologize.
DeleteAmen, our duty before the Lord preach the word , live the word and watch for a His return.
DeleteWow Sherry !!!!! AMEN!!!
DeleteLoved the Samantha White video - it was amazing encouragement and confirmation of what God has been doing in my life for the past 8 years!!! Truly an answer to prayer ... God has been preparing His remnant for 'such a time as this...'
ReplyDeleteAs a side note, I am grieved to read the many divisive, destructive, unkind comments above... There is no time for this nonsense. Don't give the devil a foothold. This is the time for the church to be united in love and grounded in the Word. The world is watching!! Much is at stake and time is short. God bless you all - may His good purpose be accomplished in each of our lives as we seek to serve Him in these last days. 'Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure... children of God in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars and hold out the Word of Life....' -Phil 2:14 Maranatha!
Amen Joe & Hege.
DeleteMany Blessings!
I need some prayers to go up for dear friend of mine for her 47 yr old daughter who is in ICU and not only needs healing, but her Mom’s prime concern is Salvation.
The Lord has miraculously arranged this opportunity for her mother to reach her with the Gospel. Her name is Kovey, so if any are led, just please lift them up.
Blessings to All!
Praying for them!
DeleteTY, Nora. Still praying for Rosina as well.
DeleteLet us know how she is doing if you learn anything more:-)
Thank you so much! I'll let you know if I hear something!
DeleteSheila - I pray for your friend as she speaks to her daughter. May the Holy Spirit draw Kovey to Jesus Christ, the son of God for salvation by believing in His son.
ReplyDeleteTY Cathi! Paul Dawson has a really good message out today @Revelationchapter12dotcom titled
Delete“Authentic Faith-Part 1: The State of Spiritual Poverty”
It’s over an hour and only halfway thru it, but such a wonderful message so far.
Praying for you and yours, Cathi!
Thanks for the heads up about the video, Sheila. I am always helped and encouraged by his teachings!! (and how timely it seems, too - we can probably all be helped to remember that the Christian is characterized by poverty of spirit, humility and gentleness .... :)
DeleteBeen praying for Kovey today. May God do a miraculous work and meet her in her brokenness ... bringing spiritual healing and salvation.
Thank you Joe & Hege so much. Exactly what is needed. Many Blessings:-)
DeleteOh, thank you so much!!! I will check out that video. His blessings,
ReplyDeleteHmmm...we had winter storm Noah, then Oliver and now I see Europe and the UK are supposed to be slammed with a winter storm in a few days dubbed the “Beast from the East”.

DeleteTY, VeeBee. Praying all is well in your neck of the woods.

"Could Billy represent a modern day Methuselah who passed just days before The Flood came?"
ReplyDelete--- I posed this very idea to my father this week. Neat.
My 2 cents… The problem is not pointing out the truth and/or unscriptural things. The problem is the tone and the attitude which turns harsh and lacking in mercy. Pointing this problem out is not persecution and adding some correction doesn’t mean that one beats up the other. I read the admonition in the Bible many times that Christian brethren should correct each other with gentleness and humility. If someone holds unscriptural views they should be corrected that way, in a Christ-like manner. If it turns out they don’t believe in the one true, Biblical Gospel, they should be rescued for the sake of their souls but of course this also should happen with the involvement of mercy, in the previously mentioned way, not in a “witch-hunt”. Regarding people who claim to be teachers and who are teaching false doctrines, they should be indeed confronted under the lead of the Holy Spirit (as in every case) also in a Christ-like manner, as the Holy Spirit leads, for the sake of the chance and the opportunity of the rescue of their souls. Reflecting light to Biblical truth that beats false, unscriptural notions could and should happen in a gentle, merciful manner. I’m saying all of that to myself too; it’s something that I also have to keep in mind with my fiery temper.
ReplyDeleteYes, Nora. I think this is true of all of us. We all need to check ourselves and know the difference between what we are to do in the face of wrongdoing and what is God’s to do. But I haven’t seen in any of the Scripture where we are to decide anyone’s eternal fate. When I was praying about all of this and asking
Deletewhether or not this man’s life and death
might actually be used by God as a sort of winnowing tool, what immediately came
to mind was this question that could be posed to each of one of us as diligent Christians:
“Who do you really believe occupies the Throne of Judgement?”
I know who I want it
to be. The only One who knows the whole story. So
I feel like it’s not a winnowing of our Salvation, but a winnowing of our hearts. And it’s just one more such winnowing for me over the past 5 months. I just thought I was ready for the Rapture back on 9/23/17. Not so much as I’ve come to know through a whole string of events and trials in a very short period of time. It’s just got to be about Jesus Christ and who He is. Not us or anybody else. Paul Dawson’s new video is, as Joe above stated, very timely. Recommend it very highly.
Much love and Blessings Family and Maranatha!
"I know who I want it to be. The only One who knows the whole story."
DeleteI totally agree with you, Sheila!
Regarding the rapture, it will be *the ultimate transformation*. One of the main reasons I long for it is to be finally free from my sin nature! It will be such a liberating experience! I think what the Lord would like for us is to look for and wait for Him in joyful anticipation. The Lord waits until the last one gets saved, (only He knows who that person will be) then we'll be out of here! :--)
Nora and Sheila amen. When we consider What the Lord Has Done For Us and how he admonishes and corrects us, we remember is gentleness his loving-kindness and never forsaking us. We have an Advocate Christ Jesus who wipes away our sins. Lord bless you and keep you until that day
DeleteVeeBee, amen, amen, amen! He wipes away our tears as well.
DeleteEschatology Today: The Focus on Jerusalem
ReplyDelete" May 14, 2018 marks the 10th shavuim since Israel was born in a day back in 1948 in fulfillment of Isaiah 66:8. A shavuim is the Hebrew word for a group of seven, seven of anything, but in this instance the context is that we are talking in terms of years. May 14 2018 is the 10th shavuim in the modern-day context of Israel's existence.
This 70 anniversary is an important milestone or benchmark. Just as Daniel realized he was very near the end of the 70 years prophesied by Jeremiah for the Babylonian captivity, so too we realize that the 70th year of Israel's existence points directly to an imminent start of the final 70th Week of Gabriels prophecy; it highlights that we're very near the end of that gap of time, the so-called Church Age, which began at the conclusion of the 69th of the 70 weeks of years in Gabriel's prophecy (Daniel 9:24-27)."

DeleteSisters and brothers please pray for my legs im at work and have swelling tried to get off work but cant love you guys just get a little scared being alone well feeling a little alone maranatha...
DeletePraying for you, Jeramiah. You need to take care of yourself especially after this flu thing, and see a doc about those legs. I know it seems like the attacks are steady, but that is what we would expect if we are so close to going Home. You are never alone, Brother. We are all connected in the Spirit and more so everyday! Love and Blessings.
DeletePraying for you, Jeramiah!
DeleteJust got off work and got home i miss you guys ! Thank you sister sheila I know whag you mean he id attacking on all fronts it seems praise Jesus our savior amen !
DeleteThank you so much my sistwr Nora !!!
DeleteGods Warrior, I am sorry to hear about your legs and I hope you consider seeing a doctor about them. It is hard to be alone or in feeling alone when your not feeling good physically. But, He is with us. As that video that Sheila B recommended earlier - He is the God of all comfort 2 Corinthians 1:3
ReplyDeleteAmen sister thank you for everything you all mean the world to me i cant wait to meet you guys when we get home!
DeleteSo, may He comfort you Gods Warrior as He comforts us in all our affliction ...

DeleteSamantha W., if you are following, please know that the person posting the insult apparently thinks of himself as the way, the truth and the life and per his own words finds it sad that anyone could think Jesus Christ and the Bible are enough.

DeleteBlessings Sister to you and your babes and keep spreading joy and faith:-)
Lol...yes Brad she is pretty thanks for the introduction to Samatha and Zeus Mossbender what a ray of sunshine. Yeah both glorifying the lord in there own quirky ways fresh air to the doom and gloom of coming tribulation. No plans of living it by the way.
DeleteThanks for all the great posts you do i wish i had more time to look into your latest ytube video sounds well researched.
I think you should have turned this topic into FightClub. Have Samantha in one corner and BG in the other. Unevenly matched due to conversation rates. But my money is on Samantha because i know she would get the steps to salvation correct. Billy would be too busy pulling out the hotel TV cables just in case he would be tempted to watch the X rated channels at night(sadly a true story, totally dingbat)
After coming to terms about BG preaching of spiritualism i had to ask my wife are you going heaven and why? I got back good works and i go to church. So yes she got the gosphel correctly so BG saved another from the grave totally dingbat!!!!

ReplyDeleteHi all-
ReplyDeleteI followed up on some of the BG comments on Unsealed with this new discovery. Perhaps Purim is tied to the Last Great Day. This deserves further study but...
BG will be lying in the US Capitol this Wednesday, Feb 28th which is...Purim.
If Purim is the Last Great Day, the world would be witness to the Harpazo, witness to the door of BG's casket being blown off then zip, zip, zip... poof! Credit: PS or Zeus Moss.
No coincidence BG passed on the very same day of Moses (2/21) then seven days later (2/28) he lies in state on Purim.
We all know bad stuff is coming this way while our redemption also draws closer...what a time to see these things (well, if our spiritual eyes are allowing us to, not all believers are Watchmen).
On edge, what a time.
"On edge, what a time." Same here. :--) As for the possibility of the rapture this coming week... I truly WISH!
DeleteSince 2/21 was 153 days from the Rev 12 sign that means 2/28 is 160 days from the Rev 12 sign.
DeleteOut of curiosity (or led), I looked up 160 in Strongs...It means "Sudden."
Sudden....Departure?
Sudden....Destruction?
Many Fish YTC is doing a great job (like Daily Crow and others) linking all the numbers/ dates together.
Many Fish's latest fact finding points to WW3 happening...soon...like right after the end of the "friendly" Olympics are over... done as of now. Add in the Pet Goat foretelling et...
Sudden
Charlie, wouldn’t that just be so perfect with what will probably be wall to wall news coverage!
DeleteEven so, Lord, Come
Quickly!!!
Amen im so ready to go home ! I have some tgoughts I would like to bring up for discussion sometime amen love you all !
DeleteJeramiah, Always glad to share in your thoughts regarding our walk Home. Have a blessed day and be well, Brother!
DeleteThank you sister Sheila im so excited about going home and meeting everyone its going to be so amazing sister ! I was witnessing to a couple today and they too wers excited then another and they said they hope there is no rapture i was just amazed and broken hearted so many with their hearts so cold and closed to the truth and faith of our savior Jesus christ and the finished work at the cross !!! Love you all ! Maranatha ...
DeleteTY Jeramiah for sharing that. You planted the seeds and so we just pray. The ones who reject the Blessed Hope at this point will at some point remember your words and perhaps seek after it then. Any hope in this world system is already failing the average person. We just gotta keep shining the light as long as we are in the fields.
DeleteBlessings Brother!
Purim begins at sundown on 2/28 but the Blue Moon will not arise until sundown on 3/1 or at the close of Purim.
ReplyDeleteIn summary, Esther RESCUED Israel as Jesus RESCUES us.
The Feast of Purim commemorates the amazing story of Esther from the Book of Esther. The Feast of Purim was added to the Jewish religious calendar during the time of Israel’s exile in Babylonia. Purim commemorates the victory of the exiled Jews over their enemies through the courage of Hadassah, the Jewish virgin who became Esther, the Queen of Persia. Through her petition to King Ahasuerus, the Jews were able to successfully defend themselves against their foreign enemies in Persia.
Purim is celebrated in late winter "usually in March." On the Jewish Lunar Calendar, this celebration of the Jew’s victory over their enemies is always during the Full Moon on the 14th day of the 12th lunar month (Adar) - one day after the Jews protected themselves successfully against their enemies on the 13th of Adar.
Interestingly, Purim is exactly one month before the Full Moon celebration of Passover. The decree to annihilate the Jews was made by Haman the day before the previous Passover, on the 13th of the first month of Nisan. Though Haman ostensibly gave the enemies of the Jews in Persia nearly a year to prepare for their slaughter of the Jews, he also gave the Jews the same amount of time to seek God’s help in providing a solution to their plight.
As a parallel or foreshadow of the imminent rapture, Esther is a story of deliverance from a wicked and evil man. As the Bride of Christ will be taken away/ snatched/ caught up or delivered from the plans of modern day Haman (i.e., the anti-christ).
Esther serves as a type of the True Church. For example, when Esther is taken to the palace, she leaves the ordinary world around her and enters a separate place of unimaginable wealth and beauty. It therefore, likely felt as if she had left the mundane earthly realm of her peers altogether to serve a grand role in a loftier place. In this respect, Esther’s fate may be a foreshadow of the Rapture of the True Church, when all faithful believers will be taken up to Heaven to serve as the wife and Queen of the King of Kings....

The Tribulation Code in Esther | From Perry Stone (28min)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzBRM1HAOHg
The name “Esther” itself is an indication as to how she led her life and fulfilled her role.
ReplyDeleteThe root of Esther in Hebrew is hester, meaning “hidden.”
The meaning of the name Esther is: Star.
So, a hidden star.
Perhaps a time when the Bride is "hidden" from the calamity to come? Perhaps the hidden stars/ energy in us (believers) which are about to burst?
Is this also pointing out all the hidden stars out "there" which are coming/are there now (hello Annabel and others). Part of the Red Dragon and the stars falling to Earth (Rev 12:3-4).
Thank you, Charlie for laying those correlations out so well. So appreciate all of your deep studies that you share. Blessings,
DeleteBrother!
Hello Charlie, TY for your thoughts about this Esther pun indeed! :) Yes I think it's time to change perspective again and turn away from this Billy Graham issue for this man is not mentioned in the bible at all like so many other prophecies. If you watch the latest EXPITALY video excerpt from Spain you can see the sun even going retrograde at sunset (!) completely crazy... Blessings, brother! :)
Delete'This Billy Graham issue ...' - is one that is actually well deserving of our attention, just as this man of God is deserving of our honor. The impact he made is incalculable, as God used him to make an eternal difference in leading COUNTLESS persons, from all over the world, out of destruction into everlasting joy and love. The Gospel of Jesus Christ and seeing people come to salvation was his life's mission. I so appreciated an article by Geri Ungurean this morning, and a quote from her will suffice...
Delete"Brethren: The attacks on Billy Graham must stop! Lay down your stones or cast them - you who have no sin. There is ONE perfect one and that is our Redeemer - our Savior - the Lord Jesus Christ. He had NO sin. He is God. Please see Reverend Graham's life as any other servant of our God. Please understand that when you disparage the life of Billy Graham - you are hurting the body of Christ and even the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You are taking the eyes of the world off the Lord, and even more - you are dragging the Lord Himself through the mud. I pray that the Lord would open the eyes of those of you who are bound and determined to disgrace the name of a great servant - an anointed man of God, whose life's work was to bring people to the Cross and have them lay down their lives and accept the finished work of Christ as to be saved."
Well said, Geri. And thank God for the life and ministry of Billy Graham!
Joe and Hege, that was lovely... thank you!
DeletePersonally, I love brother JD Farags "Prophecy updates" best and can only most warmly recommend watching the latest from 2/25th. Together with scrolling through websites like ynetnews.com, zerohedge.com, debka.com and dailycrow.com you already get busy half day long only to keep up with world history prophecy developing at LUDICROUS SPEED (watch the 'Spaceballs' movie scene again on YT, that's how it goes now)!!! MARANATHA, buckle up! :=D
ReplyDeleteVery true, Annabel.
DeletePastor JD’s updates
reflect the snowball moving forward. Keeping up with it all is truly getting hard.
I am seeing the phrase “Event Horizon” popping up.
I looked that up to get a grip on what it actually means and found it quite fitting.
In a nutshell:
“Boundary in spacetime beyond which “events” cannot affect an outside observer. The point of no return.”
I know there is much more scientific meanings to this, but to me it is says that once we are out of here, we are untouchable. We will be outside of the horrific events coming upon this earth and humanity is fast approaching the point of no return outside of Christ Jesus. I pray for anyone following these sites who hasn’t done so to call on His Name for Salvation immediately, if not sooner! The Book of Romans 8-10 will spell it out. Time is short and The Lord of all Creation is shouting “last call”
for this age of Grace.
Love and Blessings to All!
Maranatha!
Sheila, there's another WFTGD (Br. John) video breaking news from Jerusalem sepulchre church building CLOSING ITS DOORS now! That is truly BREATHTAKING! Revelation 3:7 fulfilled right in the middle of Jerusalem! Philadelphia fellows, we're going!! :))
DeleteAgree Annabel - I was amazed to see the article which is prophetic of the role that the false church will have with its opposition to Israel during the tribulation. Amazing times!
DeleteGood Day, Fam. John at WatchmanforthatGreatDay YTC connected this to 'As Above So Below' and the close of the Age of Grace to this event 'symbolizing' the closing to the Door to THE Church symbolizing Christ's interaction for this world and our access to Him, as part of a sweeping effort against Christianity throughout the Holy Land as noted on a news video featured in his latest post. Maranatha!
DeleteCharlie in DC, as I was reading your comment (at Unsealed) saying, "Purim is when the almond trees bloom and the time of the citrus fruit harvest. Note: many Watchman have posted YTV regarding their dreams of citron or citrus fruits (i.e., lemons)."
ReplyDeleteThat really stopped me and made me think. Interesting connection!
John @Watchman for That Great Day has some revel ant news today-5-6 min
Deleteon the Closing of the Doors.
Just watched a news clip as well regarding the shutdown of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre over tax disputes in Jerusalem. Wonder why at this time after all these years...maybe something to do with restoring Temple worship....hmmm. A lot of upset tourists needless to say and something really odd playing out. Looking up!!!
“relevant”😏
DeleteSheila LOL! we've watched it at the same time! I was just posting the link above. Yeah, this is HUGE fulfillment of Revelation 3:7 I guess...
DeleteSheila, I heard several watch(wo)men mentioning "the event horizon" but none of them could tell what exactly it is yet. I like your description of it!! The thing is, I'm skeptical of the notion that there will be any peculiar *event* that directly heralds the rapture. I'm most skeptical of that "3 days of darkness" idea. I think the Bible's description that life will go on as usual (people doing business, eating, drinking marrying, building) is the description of the times when the Lord comes back for us (true that the birth pangs are increasing greatly but until the rapture life will still go on "as usual"). During a 3 days of darkness period (especially globally) nothing would go on as usual! There would be great chaos and much more. The Lord will most likely come for us on an "ordinary day" in an hour when "we think not", as He mentioned. It made me think watching Brother John's newest video that as he said, we don't know on which day exactly Purim falls and that the Lord probably doesn't base His return on any out-singled calendar day. Nontheless I truly wish the rapture happened on this week (or the next one), I'm just really sick and tired by a lot of things which are going on in this world! Only I'm torn because I also wish for some additional time of tarrying because of yet unsaved people I know.
DeleteNora, I agree. A "3 days of darkness" period can FOLLOW the rapture but not precede it for the reasons you mentioned. "Peace and security" first, THEN "sudden destruction" 1 Thessalonians 5:3 . Thus, I can imagine these 'war games' now leading to some culmination point - rapture! - chaos and confusion - antichrist figure rising and promising world peace - Rev6-seals are opened kaboom...
DeleteNora, Annabel, what I am thinking is maybe the Rapture IS this Event Horizon. And I agree that this 3 days of darkness would likely occur right after as I too believe people will be going about their business rather than hunkered down somewhere in the dark without communications, which just makes much more sense in the ensuing chaos as govts will need time to get their acts together. That is my conjecture anyway.
DeleteHow exactly that will occur-if it does, I don’t know. Things are popping left and right though, that we do know.
Had to take time out for a bunch of errands today and already feel so far behind in all that’s going on:-)
Sheila and Nora i agree woth you both and i too am very ready to go home this world and all the sin i.just cant take it anymore i want to help save as many as possible but im so so.tired of seeing so many horrible bad unthinkable things happen by the hour as the darkness spread everywhere I love you all amen !
DeleteSister Nora that was a great video and wouldnt it be amazing to go home this week wow you really got me thinking about what you said 3 days of darkness im going to dig in and study on this and pray about it amen !
DeleteJeramiah, I'm skeptical about the 3 days of darkness around the rapture, though I'm not a prophet so of course I can't shut the possibility out. IF there will be a 3 days of darkness period it will be indeed sometime after the rapture. The rapture being the event horizon, that's a very interesting thought, maybe that's how it will be!
DeleteI agree with you 100 percent sister Nora !
DeleteOK family HOLD YOUR BREATH NOW and WATCH: Impact Alert! What's MARCH 23 all about? Thousands of Potential Hazards! (Higher Truth Channel) No kidding, as I have recently pondered about the 180 days of Esther 1:4 I thought about March 23rd being exact that date from Rev12-sign. Could that be the day we should be prepared for??! Coincidence?? No way!!
ReplyDeleteAnnabel, Greetings sister in Christ. A posting at Five Doves immediately struck me as being in your wheelhouse but wasn't sure how to get the info here best, until I say your post here on 3/23 and thought I will simply reply. As described, THIS could well be the model which has that screen of a multitude of objects, in a debris field trailing Nibiru, which is the 'blanket' which out planet passes through and which virtually eradicates, in one day, the (Western) Hemisphere facing that storm. I know the planetary model is not without controversy, yet here it is. This post is copied below and on Five Dives is titled "Rotating Planet with visible large deep rectangular scar and more". Clearly, the details of Lauren's post also inform possible details about the 3-days of darkness many of us await as well. Everything below is from that post by Lauren, 2/25/18 (NEO's = Near Earth Objects and PHAs = ?):
DeleteThat planet in this linked video shows a deep rectangular scar rotating across it rather fast between the 5:30-5:59 mark. Tilt your PC BACK to get a second look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhMOOsU98cc&t=37s
It has to have already crossed our orbit behind the sun. if it is going to come out and swing in front of the sun and darken it when it reaches perihelion. In other words is Earth about to go into that planet’s tail of 18,920 NEO’s and 4900 PHA’s on March 23, 2018.
PHAs are Potentially Hazardous Asteroids! :) Thank you, brother!
DeleteAll of this sure sounds like Rev.6:13 to me. And I’ve read about this meteor or debris storm striking the Western Hemisphere a few months ago
Deletedue to planetary positioning, leaving the Middle East and Israel on the better side of it. And now it looks like that could be panning out. Even so, Lord, Come!
Amen brothers and sisters this looks like it could possibly be it even so come quickly Jesus amen

Strangely and unexpectedly, Reverend Billy Graham will be buried on the upcoming Purim festival, a Jewish holiday that signaled the hidden beginnings of a redemption process that culminated in the building of the Second Hebrew Temple.
Ultimately, Graham’s burial on Friday, which is the day that Purim is celebrated in Jerusalem,
could not be more timely. He envisioned the rebuilding of the Hebrew temple and Jerusalem,
and Purim was the beginning of the process that led to the building of the Second Temple.
Moreover, as the Purim story took place in the 70th year of Babylonian exile, Graham’s passing
happens to occur not just before Purim but on the 70th year since Israel’s rebirth.

So you don't get any suspicion about this "timing" if just EVERYTHING of ANY current events from 9/11 to hurricane Harvey seems to be symbolically backed up by some mysterious Jewish Kabbalah numbers and dates? Hmmm...
DeleteIsn't he now to lie in state at the US Capitol Rotunda, the 'spiritual center' of the country? (click!) Truly, this is all purely coincidential...
DeleteWhen C. H. Spurgeon the "Prince of Preachers" died in 1892 he wasn't brought to a Freemasons place or official political building to lie in state. He lied in the Metropolitan Tabernacle from where his sermons went into the world to TRULY save many souls and his teachings still uplift the genuine believer. The end of one's life is always telling the true character of a person. Ecclesiastes 11:3
DeleteAnnabel, I'm not sure BG had any say in this decision about the Capitol. Originally, the only funeral scheduled was a small, private ceremony in North Carolina. I think the reason for the national display is that he was a spiritual counselor to the presidents and this is Washington's way of "honoring" that.
DeleteYes, Annabel, enough of the Billy-bashing. You've made your point... quit beating it to death, already.
DeleteOne more thing I want to add in answer to Annabel's mention of Ecclesiastes 11:3
Delete"The end of one's life is always telling the true character of a person"
I agree and that's why I found this video very interesting on what BG wants on his gravestone:
Billy Graham’s Son Rev. Franklin: His Tombstone Will Simply Read ‘Preacher’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT_UfdNLC-w
Dear Brian, TY for your kind response and thoughts. Reading just 'Preacher' on someone's tombstone is quite telling as a testimony too: I think a preacher of this "global impact" like BG could have still used his own tombstone to preach the gospel of Christ by using some bible scripture engraved (which many brethren have done indeed to still preach from their graves to the living graveyard visitor about the blessed hope of a Christian). Regarding your own decisions on funeral certainly you would take them if you're already heading towards a 100 years of lifetime, wouldn't you? So I don't think BG was completely unaware or unable to frame his own wishes for his funeral in advance if he could tell them for his tombstone... If he wouldn't have accepted to lie in state in the Freemason's Rotunda he wouldn't have lied there - his whole "Christian" family could have hindered this too. But obviously everyone agreed! (click!) Blessings to you, MARANATHA!
DeleteHi all, I'm very grateful to all of you for wonderful thoughs! And I made also my thoughts about. Now I want to share with you some of them. First of all, I don't consider, at all, that it's right to build a prophecy and count times on the ground of life, activities and even death of some person, even if he were the most respected in the world. All honor and glory belongs only to the Lord, who has planned and realized everything. Period. 1Cor 3:7 (KJV). 1Cor 3:12 (KJV). What materials do we build on the foundation – Jesus Christ? (!) I will not go into the details of Billy Graham's activities, here is already was said a lot.
ReplyDeleteThen about the Book of Esther and Purim. Thank you very much, dear Charlie in DC, there is great explanation. I want here only say about, that I'm not yet sure that Esther is a type of Church. I'm searching today the first 9 verses of the Book. Here is the Gentile King who makes a feast. And there are two Books with the names of women – Ruth and Esther. Ruth is a Moabite woman who marriages a Jew, who is a type of Christ. Therefore Ruth is the type of Church. And Esther is a Jewish girl who marriages a Gentile King and saves the Jews from genocide. In my opinion this is a picture the Lord, who restores Israel as His wife before the Second Coming, and then takes place Judgement over the Gentiles.
And Esther 1:3-4 shows the time – three years and 180 days (a half lunar year), that is 3,5 years, in my opinion this is the first half of Tribulation. And Esther 1:5 shows the feast in the court of king's garden for seven days, this is probably the Marriage in Heaven in the same 7 years as the Tribulation and persecution of Jews in the Earth.
And also about the Kingdoms. There are two kingdoms – Persia and England – which made decrees of return the Jews to the Land, and in our time Israel is restored as a political Nation. Therefore, this is a sign of the coming Endtimes, and then takes place Rapture and then 7 years selebration in Heaven and persecution in the Earth. These are my thoughts. I don't say, that this is right so, only comparison of the Bible prophesy with the history. If someone wants to correct me here, I would very glad about. I'm really very ready to go home! Blessings to all, I'm praying for all of you continually! Maranatha!

ReplyDeleteAlla, those are excellent points. Ruth was, I believe,
Deletea type of the redeemed Body/Bride of Christ saved by the grace of her Redeemer
and Esther, of course was about the Salvation of Israel through a battle, so Purim, it seems to me, would indicate the change of dispensations from the age of Grace to Jacob’s trouble. So yes, if this is the pattern now in place, imo that would mean the Rapture is surely at hand. TY Sister and Maranatha!
Sister Alla and Sheila those are very good points and we all know in our spirit and hearts the rapture is at hand the signs are im such hightened amount you cant type them all , God is so amazing amen !
DeleteJust in case some fellows don't know their own church history: BILLY GRAHAM BOWING DOWN TO HIS OWN HOLLYWOOD STAR OF FAME!! Oh yes, I'm sure Jesus and the apostles would have applauded... This is such a fraud, can't you see this? SMH... Must be endtimes, MARANATHA!
ReplyDeleteWow...just wow. Since 2017 my mind has been blown by God in these revelations of truth and how the world really works. Thanks for the video link.
DeleteI am watching a TV hour special on Billy Graham. Christ is being preached. And, I thank God. And, pray many will come to believe in Christ. Amen and amen!
