If you have not watched the latest Prophecy Alert by Paul over at the Zeus Mossbender channel I encourage you to check it out. In it he gives a spectacular summary of the many signs in the heavens we have seen since 2013 or so and relates it to the exceptional unity that has existed in the watchman community... well until recently that is. Paul's hypothesis as to why this recent discord has happened is that starting in October of 2017 we entered into time in which we no longer had a big sign to look forward to. We look forward to the Blood Moons and Rev 12 Sign for so many years...and now there doesn't seem to be anything specific for us to rally around. According to Paul, this void had created and opening for discord and doctrinal differences to rise to the surface. I think he might be onto something. Watch this 30 minute video and share your thoughts below. Have a blessed Easter everyone, Maranatha!!
Thank you for reminding us that there is so much out there in media to encourage fellow Christians. This channel by Zeis is a blessing to me. I can see the Lord's humor in Lil Shaul that helps to carry on with our daily activities and occupying till He comes.... as Paul so happily states. I am continually reminded by all of you and others such as Paul that we are to rejoice and take comfort in the days ahead, the expectation of His soon return. What a joy set before us. Maranatha
And, VeeBee a crown of righteousness awaits you as you long for his appearing and are watching and waiting and havent turned away being bogged down and concerned with only earthly things.
Thank you, Brad for putting up Zeus' video on 'Loving One Another' which was timely. We can take this sound advice from Zeus and apply it to our lives especially at this Easter season. I think the emptiness he spoke of after the events beginning in 2013 through late 2017 (or, even just after the Revelation 12 sign), in asking oneself 'What Do We Do Now?' is true. In his response to 'Look Up!' apropos. It is like going on a vacation even if a few days or attending a special event out of town and returning home. There is a natural let-down and a sense of melancholy as you prepare to return to the routine of one's life, with its cares, responsibilities, tasks etc. Yet, there is more! To occupy. To edify, exhort and comfort as in 1 Corinthians 14:3. And, we are comforted as in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18.
Just to throw in my two nickels here...while what Paul has said about many of the Watchfolk across the spectrum struggling for cohesion and grasping for signs to rally around has been evident, I have seen something quite different in those who occupy this site here. Yes, there is always some doctrinal debate, but I have seen so much edification here and so much comfort given with so much love. Somehow, the occupiers of Rev12daily have managed to continually point one another to our Savior regardless of what we can or cannot see with our eyes. We have kept each other informed on a “daily” basis with hope and prayers as well as a lot of pertinent prophetic events and information. Other than what I have seen as the occasional outright black chariot raids that blow through, this flock has stayed a flock with our hearts and minds focused on the Blessed Hope and the desire to dwell together in His Presence. I never imagined that I could love people I have never seen like I love all of you. The Holy Spirit has connected us in an unbreakable way which is evidenced in the amount of Grace that has been shared here continually. Grace that has sealed up and healed up whatever disagreements have arisen thus far. You all have been a bulwark for me. I may not spiritually agree with another’s understanding of this topic or that, but I know we all agree in Spirit about why we’re all here and Who it is we are all looking for. Fully feeling His Presence and fully expecting Him anytime now:-) Thank you, Brad, for keeping up this awesome and truly blessed platform. Maranatha, Family!!!
I can't explain the weird stuff from some of the "watchmen" on youtube: crazy new doctrines, attacks on Grace, turning to the gnostic & apocryphal books as if they're the gospel, on and on and on...
But as far as Zeus saying there's no sign to rally around.... well, I have to disagree. All you have to do is read the headlines that bombard us 24/7. JD Farag is a great one to watch, as I'm sure all here are aware of his weekly prophecy updates. .... so much is happening so fast now that one can hardly keep up. God is giving us signs EVERYWHERE. And He's not just giving them to believers... Reading over at the Daily Crow is an example of that. It's really rather overwhelming at times.
But I did like his message about edifying eachother. I think that's something we can always use more of.
Sheila and MK: I watched the video and had the same feelings that you both had. In fact, as we’ve discussed many times, the Rev. 12 sign was like the sign on the highway as you near “the exit” (pun intended!!!) We haven’t felt a void, in fact quite the opposite. We’ve felt excitment, because we know it’s anytime now.
Hi Sheila, MK and Robyn, when I wrote my comments to Zeus' video I wasn't really thinking of us - Revelation 12 - but moreso, other sites like MK mentioning the talk on the book of Enoch. And, like you Sheila I feel a closeness to everyone that grows. And, Robyn in the excitement of the rapture. This site helps keep me on my toes. I am sure many have turned aside and forgotten the Revelation 12 sign, for example. The comments on many sites out there ... there is criticism etc that Zeus talked about. People do look for the next best thing, or feel lost. This site is my go-to site - along with Unsealed.
Yes, Cathi, I agree with you. I’m so glad Rev.12 and Unsealed have been there for us, and haven’t once given up watching for our Blessed Hope. Love and hugs to you on this special day!
Yes, Sisters, I should have included the Unsealed family as well. It goes without saying that edification, grace and love are the foundation there as well. This site keeps me busy comment wise, but I keep up with the articles and discourse there as well and learn so much. Can’t wait til we all get Home together! Blessings and hugs!
Robyn, today i watched my two little grand-nieces (2 and 3) play with their grandpa and putting them on his lap, and off and back up ... with the recent talk about fathers - I thought I wish I had a daddy like that! Maybe it never leaves you. I only see them on the holidays. They both have curly red hair ... so tiny. But, I came home, and i said to God, well you are my Daddy. Abba, Father. Which reminds me how i did write in previous post (deleted) that I have been seeing God's love for us in reading the Old Testament (since January) which surprised me! I only read Psalms or Proverbs.
Awww, Cathie!! How precious your two grandnieces sound-curly red hair— how cute is that! I had wondered what the comment was that you deleted, and hoped it wasn’t something painful, so I’m glad to hear it was actually something wonderful— discovering God’s love for us in the OT!! I have seen it so much in His dealing with Israel; He fusses at them and disciplines them— just like a real Father (should) when they misbehave, then turns right around and tells them how much He loves them, and how He’s going to make everything alright down the road... Yes, we are so blessed to know that it’s okay that our own fathers weren’t “perfect”— we have the BEST Father, just waiting for us to come home to Him. Love you!!!
Oh, hon— I pray it wasn’t something painful/traumatic, but if it was, just remember my story (and I only shared a part of it), and how forgiveness is the start of healing... A big cyber hug to you, sweet girl.
Well, it somehow puzzles me how nobody sees bible prophecy fulfilled here as well just describing the time period of Jesus' delay in returning regarding to Matthew 24:48-51 and the following verses about the foolish virgins trying to buy oil (i.e. get saved and sealed by the Holy Spirit in the meantime) but not quite succeeding from Matthew 25:8-10. Just my 2 cents. Not too hard to discover in fact. Everything's in plain view in the bible.
On the other hand, I shouldn't be surprised that no one can see that if being from the group of disciples that doctrinally so much agree both chapters being adressed to "Jews only"... Oh boy. LORD come quickly now! MARANATHA!
Good and Blessed Resurrection Morning to all, amen. Sheila B., I am in accord with your post and also encourage all to remember that Love believes, trusts and hopes all things (for the best) and, before we take up the Sword to defend our understanding of the Word amongst brethren, lets stop a moment and also assume the best of our fellows and then exhort accordingly, amen.
As for the message of this post I have also recently posted about the rise and fall of activity and excitement which surrounds events and Moedim which come, and go. Nature hates a vacuum, and, Little Shaul's calling out this dynamic is a good reminder to us Watchers about such things which can lead to dissension.
The thought I would add and, as I often do, leverage off of Annabel's post, is one which is crystalizing from a comment I made on a posting that the Rev12 Great Wonder served several purposes, one of which was to clarify the divide between the Watchers and the Scoffers. "Let the Sifting Begin!" could well have been the cry of that moment. As the Hourglass empties, I am being reminded that sifting is an incremental process: from Gross to Fine. The Sifter starts with an open-faced mesh and works out the larger chaff, then, shifts to a finer screen, repeat, each time to a finer filter until achieving the quality desired. As you think about events, and non-events as spoken of here, does this sound familiar?
...and who are we to demand that The Potter 'get on with it already'? As He Works His Will upon His raw materials (us), and Readies His Workshop for the final touches upon His Work currently in process, let us seek Him for eager patience while he selects another, even finer screen and continues sifting, but a tiny bit longer, amen. He is Risen, INDEED!, Maranatha!
He is Risen, indeed! Jimboni! Cherished your thoughts here on the sifting process and the perfecting of the grains. Just a little bit longer we pray. Blessings, Brother:-)
There're the latest News in Israel National News: Hamas: Gaza unemployed will 'snipe Israel from a distance' – Hamas leader (Yahya Sinwar) tells Gaza protesters there can be 'no peace' with Israel ever… "We are here to remind you that there is no peace with the enemy and that no experience or plan will make us decide to make peace with him."… Erdogan: Netanyahu is a terrorist and Israel is a terrorist state – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of being a ‘terrorist state’ Sunday, and called Israeli Premier Binyamin Netanyahu a ‘terrorist’, after IDF forces opened fire on infiltrators during a Hamas-led confrontation on the Israel-Gaza border on Friday. … 'Who is Turkey calling an occupier?' – Israeli premier blasts Turkish president, who called Israel 'terrorist state, occupier'. 'Erdogan isn't used to people talking back to him.' Jaco Prinsloo FB – If you consider the video in the article below, you will see that the situation in Gaza seems to be escalating rapidly. There are thousands of Palestinians who are now walking the streets with machine guns and if they plan to increase the intensity of violence against Israel, we are going to see all the aspects coming together to have the world turn its back on Israel for defending itself. This escalation would also seem to be happening quite rapidly and it would seem that we would not have to wait very long to see the nations rushing in to destroy Israel. Blessings!
Alla D, Blessings, Sister. I don't have many details but heard there is a march into USA from the Central Americans, northward, to protest USA policy in an 'in your face' march of many thousands into the border crossing in order to force a confrontation (order out of chaos). Along the lines of my recent contribution concerning 'Tells' on the sails I cannot help but see a common theme here.
USA is also seen as a 'new Israel', being one of her identities, and carrying some parallels to that nation, spiritually. USA & Israel, in these current situations, are both being violently called out, in the public square BY THE PEOPLE as illegitimate, occupiers of the lands of 'others', being Triumphal Colonialists politically, etc. This 'march' into Texas, from what I hear, seems to have 'popped up' out of nowhere, today, but my spiritual mariner's eyes see a pattern in the Tells and I am thinking they speak of a common thread in the Heavenlies. Hmmm, Maranatha!
Yes, Jimbony, your post is really great, worth to study! Be very blessed! I'm seeking now the Scriptures to this. As to US and Israel it's interesting Amir's update yesterday. Maranatha! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65ghd7vhTUQ
No harm, no foul, Alla D :) By the way, looks like Corsi at WND has his eyes on the Tells, as well. Saw this post at Rapture Ready News today of a WND article: Twin border invasions of U.S., Israel which links over to WND at http://www.wnd.com/2018/04/twin-border-invasions-of-u-s-israel/ . The article is billed as an 'Exclusive' but I am thinking that the Holy Spirit has the rights to that phrase here, Maranatha!
Sorry, i meant Through and Through! Lol. 🤣 Sorry, this time its not the idea of this uncontrolled hunk of metal floating through space, but typing Through by Through.
thanks Cathi - looks like it hit by Tahiti in the end, so I was able to sleep in peace:) Tried to find significance in the name 'Tahiti', but couldn't find anything of note...escalations in Israel however are certainly worth noting!!
But I do believe Jesus is coming soon. He said it clearly 2000 years ago in Revelation 22 three times.
http://www.itwasaplan.com/end-time-sign.html
And there is no question in my mind that the Rev. 12 sign was God's plan.
From the blood moon 9-28-15 to the Revelation 12 sign on 9-23-17 was 726 days. And Strongs concordance Greek word 726 is "Rapture". Then from the Revelation 12 sign to the blood moon on 7-28-18 is 307 days. And Strongs Greek word 307 is "I Draw Up". It seems to me that God is warning us / comforting us that the rapture is near. But it will come in His time and not ours. God is good!
Brad, how did he throw it all under the bus? I just watched that video again, and he said that feast days have been so corrupted throughout history that they probably should t be used to gauge the Rapture. But he said the celestial bodies cannot be corrupted by man, and that the Rev. 12 sign was to comfort and alert us that the time is near. Did I miss something?
Robyn, i couldnt use his www you tube address but he had a post at the beginning that Zeus was the first to back away when the Revelation 12 sign was past.
Just got off work really tired from the new diet ...first and formost thank you heavenly father for themany blessings you give us all daily and I pray for all those lost , cold , negative , starving, sick, and hungry brothers and sisters across the world , I pray for all my brothers and sisters in christ as I do everyone that God will comfort you all and open your eyes with love and compassion to things we need and to keep us all fed and watchful of the times and the evil that satan is always up to trying to trip us up amen ! I pray that everyone had a blessed day today ! I heard just now they think heavenly palace is coming crashing down tonight or tomorrow we shall see ! Maranatha oh and there was a video this am about 2 meteors or something impacting a mountain valcano in Mexico...?
I’ve never seen Paul back off from the message of the Rev 12 Sign either. I’ve only seen him pressing forward, just like the rest of us, in faith, hope and his infectious love and longing for our Lord. And he’s been rowing strong in the Word for a long time now! Blessings All:-)
Hi, Robyn, I am just saying that I wasn't agreeing with Brad, I was only letting you know he had this earlier post, and that Brad removed that I was glad to see he had done so. And, I see he has posted again. Anyhow.
Cathi, I see why Brad must have removed the first post; hope he also deletes the one above. This is such a loving, caring, encouraging site; we just don’t need such sarcasm and hatefulness that defeats the site’s whole purpose.
Well it is a blessing to read all of your posts and hear what God is doing in your lives and how He is keep ing you close to him while we wait for His appearing. Jeremiah I'm glad you were home safe after working and I hope you are feeling better I will continue to pray for you. I have been awake away for the day with daughter grand babies and family It was a blessing ...God provided for them.... their house flooded during the Ventura County floods and they were finally able to get in a new house they are safe praise God. I'm interested in seeing what happens and where that spacecraft crashes.Hmm about disappointments. No wthere are many what we call now ...look out dates.... but I cannot be discouraged because I know the Lord has the exact time Chosen and it will be a perfect time so if I am anxious for Him to come in the day that I think He 'should come, then I am calling His word untruthful. His timing is always perfect. I cannot stop thinking about the unusual names that have come about in the last year's the movie with Noah the storm named Noah, and now Heavenly Place falling through the sky rather interesting how God uses a small things to speak to us. He is coming soon Maranatha
VeeBee, it did fall to earth over tge Pacific Ocean April 1 It is no more. Tho rare to have a piece hit somone, Space.com said not to pick it up coz of a toxic fue.l
I am glad your daughter and her family are living in a safe place, VeeBee. Daily Crow said the heavenly palace was near Tahiti. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Psalms 62:8
VeeBee: Funny I had the very same thought yesterday regarding the Heavenly Palace crashing to earth... a Satanic take on the New Jerusalem? And then there’s the Humanity Star, which many have called Satan’s star, as well as Elon Musk’s RED Tesla with the defiant dummy driver on a road trip through space (I have to admit, though— that picture makes me laugh...) Also, names given by NASA to space missiles, craft, etc.: Apollo, Thor, Saturn, Titan, just to name a few.
VeeBee, so good to hear your daughter and family have been safely restored. That peace of mind is such a blessing as we watch and wait. God be with you and yours continuously. Maranatha, Sister!
Vebee thank you for the prayers I am very blessed to hear you had a good day and about your duaghter and grand babies I am very happy they have been blessed with a home and food after such a tragic event as those floods you will all stay in my prayers and I too have to agree that its funny all the strange names everyone is using for storms like Jose and maria and i was just talking to mom last night and she was telling me she feels like Putin named that missle satan 2 becuase of fear the russians know our faith and could be using Satan name to try an intimidating the USA but I feel like all these names they are using from the bible makes me feel as if God and also satan both sides good and evil in their own way using the names to wink at us if that makes since satan in a bad way coming from his evil diminuions ! I noticed that trump is pulling the troops back from middle east is something about to happen ? ??? It seems as if alot and i mean alot is going on i ln the sky they are cutting alot of camera feeds !
I saw that, Nora and it is just more sweet encouragement. As I was sitting in the little Schoolhouse Church yesterday, I was thinking that actually, the day was the anniversary of His Crucifixion and the anniversary of His Resurrection on Nisan 17 was still 2 or 3 days out depending on where one is in the world. After the service, I walked out with my grandson to stand in front of the 3 tall crosses. I asked him, So Jayden Ray, which side do you want to be on? He pointed up to the center Cross and said “I’m gonna be right there in the Middle with Jesus”. Just made the day for me. Soon and very soon!
TY. He is a mess. He loves rocks better than anything and collects them by the buckets. You could give him a bagful for his birthday and he’d be quite happy. So as we were leaving the Church yesterday he found a little fist sized one in the parking lot that he just had to have. Got home and he’s out in the yard and decided to throw that rock straight up in the air. He was totally shocked when it came right back down on the top of his head. Through the tears and ice pack, I reminded him that what goes up will come back down, which led us into a prayer for the lump on his head and another conversation about “The Rock” and he was soon okay, but I think he took away a good lesson on gravity:-D
My mom is kind of the same way, she LOVES to collect rocks too, she's truly a rock and minerals enthusiast! :--)
Thinking about the date of Nisan 17, this date is on different days on the different calendars. We don't know how much the calnedars are off (only that most of them are off) but that's not a problem after all. :--) The rapture could happen any time. I've just heard today that on the Enoch Calendar Nisan 17 starts tomorrow at sunset in Israel. I've also heard that Tuesday is the traditional Jewish wedding day. We'll see...
It's very interesting, your are already blessed very much, Sheila! The Lord is really very near! And connection of Jimbony with Ps 8:2. This is also strange for me, because this verse was my daily study today! I study daily 1-2 verses and make a little outline for my family and fellow believers. This coincidence is amazing! I wrote in my outline: Jesus quoted this verse to the apostates to the chief priests and scribes (apostates of His times) after His entrance to Jerusalem as the King, to show them what's the point – the glorified Lord of the whole earth is coming! Ps 8:1, Mat 21:16. Therefore the Lord teaches the little children (this child becomes also the Lord's education daily, I think), to show the foolishment of the wise men and to hide from them the true teaching of God. Isaiah 29:14. All this shows to me that we should be ready to meat the Lord very-very soon! Maranatha!
Amen to that, Alla. Brother Todd’s clip today was really good. We really do not know exactly what day it even is so everyday truly has to be high watch day going forward. He speaks about the mirror Seder which is quite enlightening in itself. Blessings!
A bit of correction: I think I said it wrong and the 14th of Nisan starts tomorrow at sunset in Israel according to the Enoch Calendar (not the 17th), sorry!
It's interesting about it a new video of Nick VanderLaan yesterday, it's a bit strange stuff to me. Biblical Proof: The Day Starts at Sunrise! – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl1IldkIBZQ
Alla, I spent time about 5 or 6 years ago studying that very thing— that the Biblical day actually starts in the morning. It actually made a whole lot of sense. Also, at about that same time, I did a study regarding the building of a third temple, and whether it was truly a Biblical concept or not, when you see the actual Greek words used in the NT and the Hebrew words used in the OT for “temple.” Recently, I found a video by Carl Gallops on this very subject that was really excellent. I realize that I’m in the minority on a lot of these non-Salvific issues, but—thankfully— they’re just that: non-Salvific issues. However, I find these topics very intriguing, and so enjoy studying and researching them.
As a Midwestern boy who raised a couple Midwestern boys I gotta say that a rope, a stick and a rock make up the complete tool kit for the urban 12-year old grunt, yup, worked for us.
Interesting connect Alla D., on that 'out of the mouths of babes' verse. I am wondering, or 'hearing' perhaps, that ALL us watchers are babes from His perspective and yet He Uses us continuously to share what we are seeing, encourage each other and call the lost to Him, Maranatha! 1 Cor 1:27 !
Yes, Jimboni, this topic became a study in depth really! Thank you for this thought. In Jesus' time the apostate conceived a plan to get rid of Him. And He quoted them this verse to show that it's absolute impossible, and they all knew the previous verse and understood Him! And also the babes showed them the same! And now is the same situation, and the same season! The apostates try to get rid of God's people and of the Church of God, that is the Lord Himself! You said, there're Twin border invasions? Have I got rightly your thought? The Child is going home! Come the Lord quickly, Maranatha!
Lol, Jimboni. So true. He just turned 6 and those are all his go to items. He told his mom the other day that he was going to live a dangerous life and she should just get used to being worried about it. I got really tickled at the expression on her face and told her you get 10 times what you gave, Babygirl and your best bet is to pray Even so, Lord, come quickly:-D
I saw an interesting tidbit today. It’s the 50th anniversary of the release of 2001: A Space Odyssey which introduced Artificial Intelligence to the minds of the world. And as insidious as it was portrayed, they have sought after it relentlessly in the desire to become their own little gods. And erelong, they will sadly only get that image of the beast in answer to their pursuits. So thankful for that child-like faith in the Blessed Hope!
Man Attacks Actor Playing Roman Soldier in ‘Passion of the Christ’ Play to Save Jesus
As we work to discipline ourselves to only attacking the true enemies of the Faith, and not each other, I couldn't help but see this article/event as a similar example of mis-directed 'offense' or defense of the Faith:
Original article on OddityCentral.com – a blog on oddities and wacky news http://www.odditycentral.com/
A Brazilian man was recently arrested after jumping on stage during a Passion of the Christ theater play and hitting an actor playing a Roman soldier over the head with a motorcycle helmet, in a bid to save Jesus from getting crucified.
Someone needs to get Peter back into his seat. Matt 16:23-26 Maranatha!
Hey Everyone, if you haven’t seen it, Brother Barry S. Is asking for prayer. He is very sick and it sounds like the exact same stuff I went through. It will knock you down bad, so be lifting him up to the Lord. I do believe so many of us have been under enemy attack with this illness, trying to drown out our voices. Prayers up and healing down, in Jesus’ mighty Name!
A Sister in Christ shared the definition of Shalom on the Eschatology Today blog. I found it so encouraging and wonderful, I'd like to share it here:
"Copied from notes I made about Shalom and its meanings. "According to Strong's Concordance 7965 Shalom means completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord. Shalom comes from the root verb shalom meaning to be complete, perfect and full. In modern Hebrew the obviously related word Shelem means to pay for, and Shulam means to be fully paid." From the days of another period of time that seems like yesterday."
I'd like to add something to that. I've just thought reading this description that in the Song of Solomon, the girl who is the King's love is called Shulamite. I've heard it many times that the Song of Solomon is also about the Lord and the Church. So, the Bride, the King's love is called Shulamite and *Shulam* means *fully paid*. Paid in full aka *it is finished*! How wonderful is that connection!!! The Lord did it all for us, He paid it in full!
My other thought is that one of the promises and wishes of the Lord which is repeated many times through the Scriptures is that He wants to give us His *Peace*! His *Peace*, His *Shalom* is truly not like the world's *peace*, it's enough to consider the above definition. This is also so wonderful!
"Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the well-being of His servant.” (Psalm 35:27)
“For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6)
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." (John 14:27)
Nora, that was just beautiful! I had never seen that before either. His peace is the peace that surpasses all understanding; that much I do know! I saw a short video put out by Trey Smith on the crimson worm and Jesus connection. I had heard Chuck Missler years ago made that connection, but Trey’s video is so dear!
Jeramiah, no, Muhammad isn't related to what I said. Also, personally I don't believe that Muhammad had a Jewish wife (though I could be wrong but I'm skeptical about that).
Re-reading what this Saudi crown-prince is saying is quite interesting though. (There are Muslims like the prince who believe that Muhammad had a Jewish wife but personally I don't believe it's true that's what I meant above. I was very surprized btw, I haven't knew about this "Jewish wife" thing before!)
"There are no problems between Christian and Muslims and Jews. We have problems like you would find anywhere in the world, among some people. But the normal sort of problems.”
That was quite interesting! It seems he wants reconciliation and peace between "the abrahamic religions".
Here's another interesting statement of the Saudi prince, reported by Eschatology Today:
"I believe that each people, anywhere, has a right to live in their peaceful nation. I believe the Palestinians and the Israelis have the right to have their own land."
Sister Nora I do the same thing all the time we all do :) i find what the Saudi prince is saying interesting as the AC thing his name has ben in it and doesnt the jews look for a false savior with the name of ben ? I know they are looking for a savior of power and his name is a certain name although its a false savior!
Sister Nora also I came across this late last night can you take s look at this yt video and let me know what you think please ! https://youtu.be/IKlzbmIQ9MQ
Jeramiah, I believe so that the AC won't come to the world stage until the Church is on Earth, that's the reason why I don't believe that the Saudi prince could be a candidate. I could be wrong but I think that he remains hidden and in the shadows while we're here. As for the vid, I'm quite skeptical about PlanetX. I'm on the position that in case after the rapture the Lord reveals that such a planet system is there, of course I'll accept it. Until then, it's only a theory.
Good evening all! Have so many thoughts right now, mingled with disappointment. I've always believed in the imminent return of Christ at ANY moment, but since the Rev12 sign I was actually open to it being tied to a certain day/feast/festival/solar/lunar event. But after this last round of high watch periods (Passover/Easter) I think I'm really just worn out.
I know He is coming sooner than we think, and there's so much prophetically that's happening in Israel right now but this trying-to-narrow-it-down-to-a-certain-time-even-down-to-Jerusalem's-time-zone has been draining. Is it possible that by keeping our eyes OPEN for His return that we can actually take our eyes OFF the Lord?
There were at least 2 times over the past week I've had two moments where I was positive it was the moment of the rapture. One was ESPECIALLY amazing! I was driving down the road admiring the cloud formations in the sky. They literally looked like seating rafters in a throne room and the sun was just growing brighter and brighter and brighter. Behind me the moon was already visible and it was still in the afternoon. I got a really nervous/excited feeling as I imagined I was watching Him "coming on the clouds" right in front of me. But slowly the sun became covered behind those very clouds and the light dimmed.
So I've been asking questions like, if the rapture is for the church, why would it be timed to any Jewish holy day or feast? During the church age, God has placed Israel aside for now. Which brings me back to imminence and the fullness of the Gentiles - a NUMBER (not date) specific event.
Anyway, I''ll end this rather-long post now. Just sharing my mindset.
Brian McCollister thank you for sharing your thoughts and that lovely scene you witnessed in the sky and let me tell you when the time comes and it is coming soon but when our savior comes thats going to be an amazing glorius day amen ! I have felt your pain just as we all have and I feel as if the rapture would be tied to a certain event as revelation 12 sign for me was a HUGE sign and it was real and it was to wake up the church just like Billy Grahams daughter giving the gospel to the world at her fathers funeral as we are all getting many signs God doesnt want any to parrish but all to come to him I pray the blood of Jesus Christ over you and your family for God to comfort you and your family as we wait and study and grow closer to our heavenly father daily amen ! Satan is running ramped and bolder then ever things will be changing drastically and now we have all these msm and military putting ufos into the main tv and radio freely feels like they are setting up a deception for when we go up a story to tell all for the raptured church ! Keep your eyes on Jesus and stay well love your brother Jeramiah !
Part I - Sorry Gary, I've been long-winded again -
Brian, I truly have been exactly where you are this second, including considering if it must be on a Jewish Feast Day or not. I'll offer you my approach now as it has given me great Shalom (thank you Nora, that was beautiful) and thus I know it is from Holy Spirit. I watch as eagerly as before, yet with the thought in mind, this is either a sign or the event and we don't know which. I've made the same argument about the Feast Days, but I lean toward the Feast Days and here is why.
Yes, the Church is predominantly Gentile, yet one of the great signs for the Remnant of Israel will be our departure. Thus, my propensity is to believe the Feast Days play an integral part, coupled with the signs we've been given beginning with the Blood Moons occurred on Feast Days. I believe this, not because of the Church, but because the Rapture is another Great Sign for Israel. I know we have different viewpoints on Calendars, yet we saw those Blood Moons and the Rev 12 sign align with Feast Days on the calendars we use. Now, we have confusion not substantiated by a sign on the potential added month which leads us back to "what would the truly practicing and watching Jews be expecting"? I have used this little teeter-totter mental exercise to allow me to continue watching with just as much excitement and joy, without the soul crushing disappointment of forcing, "It has to be this day." I love to read and study the history and connections around the Feast Days, the common practices and why and when they came into existence and how they connect to Scripture. Since we will be one of the last great "signs" to Israel, since they seek and require signs, I believe we must think more about what it would signify to them than to us if we weren't studying it. I'm still the 3 year old in the back seat, jumping up and down saying "Are we there yet?", but notice that 3 year old never feels crushed when Daddy explains, "Not yet, but see the x, y or z and then we'll see a, b or c and then we'll be there. We're closer, just hang in there. We're almost home." The 3 year old just returns to joyfully and excitedly bouncing back up and down and babbling about all the things they'll see and do, before beginning the chant again - "Daddy are we there yet." Rinse and Repeat - the child never changes. Yes, there is an ebb and flow, but it's always back to the wall and watching for the arrival.
John 14:27-29 27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
Think now of those Jews, who truly love the Word of God in the OT, yet because of their stubbornness and partial blindness have never accepted Yeshua as ha'Mashiach. Look at their faces as they realize their mistake and FOR THE FIRST TIME read the affirmation of the Old in the New and see John quoting Zechariah.
12:10-14 Zechariah referred to in John 19:37 10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, The spirit of grace and of supplications: And they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, And they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, And shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. 11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, As the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. 12 And the land shall mourn, kevery family apart; The family of the house of David apart, and ltheir wives apart; The family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart; 13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; The family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart; 14 All the families that remain, Every family apart, and their wives apart.
They are stricken as they realize the truth. Look at their faces and see the tears streaming and the deep mourning, for they really have been deceived, by Satan and their own forefathers. Father loves them so dearly and Yeshua has given His all for not only us, but them. Their devastation will be even greater for they have known and understood the meaning of The Day of the Lord, The Tribulation, for centuries. As we depart and the revelations begin to occur to them, they will know exactly what they are about to experience and what their ancestors and themselves have done. Can you imagine the depths of mourning? The Father could, Yeshua could and Holy Spirit will be there for them, though differently than He is for us. Those are Father's children, our brothers and sisters and they will be crushed at the realization of their error - the Remnant will at least.
These are the things which keep me centered and focused on His Face and His Soon Coming without those horrific letdowns I knew before. I pray this helps and I pray - The Spirit of His Shalom be upon you and yours. Blessings to All - In His Grip - Sherry
So, good Sherry. I first typed 'gold' - maybe I should have left it. Yes, gold. It again rises up within me to pray for their salvation as this was the Apostle Paul's heart's desire and prayer to God that they may be saved, Romans 10:1.
Brian, your closing comment reminds me of a discussion I once had with a gent who said he knew precisely when the Harpazo would occur and, yes, it involves a number, not a date. This fellow was quite a bit older than I, at the time, and we were discussing his work in WWII as a photo intel analyst for the UK RAF where he would analyze photos taken by bombers and recon craft during the Big War. I add that detail to illustrate that this was a very methodical, detailed and learned man and accomplished over his years; a person who's insight is worthy of attention.
What he said was this, God is a Lord of Numbers and He Describes Himself that way often, in scripture. He cited our Lord saying that He knows the NUMBER of hairs on your head (Luke 12:7) as an example. There are many ways this point could have ben made but our Lord was very specific in how he structured ABBA's knowledge around the NUMBER of hairs. Albert Einstein felt that mathematics was the language God used when crafting creation, again with the numbers.
So, what my friend said was that there is a specific NUMBER of angels who fell with the deceiver. Those seats in the Heavenlies are now empty. More than one parable speaks of a King unwilling to have empty chairs at a banquet or wedding, sounding familiar? My friend's adamant position was that, at some future point, a person who accepts Christ will become the occupier of the last, empty seat. Once THAT happens, and the final NUMBER of those seats are filled, then the Wedding Hall is FULL, the Work of The Father is completed, the Time of the Gentiles is OVER and the Trumpet Blows! Maranatha!
P.S. This ties to a section of Scripture with lots of nuggets we all hold to dearly (2 Pet 3):
8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE OUGHT YOU TO BE? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and SPEED ITS COMING.
In light of this NUMBERS idea applied to that pesky tag there, "speed its coming" we see that effective EVANGELISM, which adds to the NUMBER of those saved (filling the seats) ACCELERATES HIS ARRIVAL!!!! How do we know? Because the Bible tells us SO! Maranatha!
OK, sorry, just one more tidbit. Again, notice the FOCUS of this section. WHO is the Lord patient with? YOU! NOT the perishing. ... not wanting anyone to perish he is patient towards YOU! Why you and not the one being converted?
Because YOU are the EVANGELIST and He is Patient with YOU while YOU FILL THE NUMBER OF THE SEATS. Wow, wow, wow, amen.
Jimboni, a whole lot of great nuggets in your post—all summarizing how our Father is a God of numbers. The Fibonacci sequence displayed all throughout His creation speaks to this as well. I really loved the part about the last seat at the banquet to be filled— and then the times of the Gentiles is over; what a beautiful picture! Chuck Missler used to joke that, in Heaven, we’ll all be asking that last gentile to be saved, “What took you so long!!!” Anyway, thank you for that insightful post...
Robyn, thank you. To have Chuck Missler come to mind and be mentioned in response to anything I post is a very high honor, indeed. While this idea is both insightful and equally frustrating to us Watchers (a target we cannot 'watch'), it feels sound and a likely element of what is going on in these Times, Maranatha!
Great Nuggets Indeed Jimboni! Like Robyn, I do see the heart & mind of the teacher in the depth and beauty of your comments. Chuck Missler, you are right, great teacher and great comparison Robyn.
We each tend to focus on one single point or sign teaching us of His return. What we fail to recall is exactly what this entire post expresses and Paul's point. There are so many elements and when all are combined, they detail the exact plan. Not one of us has been given every piece of the puzzle. They've been distributed throughout the Body and we must work together in order to complete the puzzle - if that is possible with our current brains, for we have only a glimmer of the Mind of Yahweh. It is our human nature to say, "It's about the day counts", "It's about the Celestial Alignments", "It's about the status in the Middle East", "It's about Israel", "It's about the last soul to be evangelized" or "It's about Daniel's 70th Week and where we are on the Calendar" and on and on. We do this, because that's our area of gifting and focus. But, we mustn't forget the other parts of the body and their pieces of the puzzle.
The truth is, it is about all of those things and we can do our very best to keep track of them, but we probably won't quite get there. Are we back to "No man knows the Day or the Hour", but for an entirely different reason? Probably, but it's not because we aren't to know, or aren't to try and understand. It's simply we aren't up to matching wits with God. But, how glorious and rewarding it is to try when we are trying together! Blessings - Sherry
Sherry, thank you. You also highlight points we wrestle with. Your theme reminds me of a fine point of Scripture I have bantered about at times, it being the Glory of our Lord to Conceal a thing and the glory of His Kings to SEEK (not find) it. It is the SEEKING, that is to say, the WATCHING we are called to do. Our Daddy is a REVEALER of Truth, HE holds the keys and He Loves it when we seek to wrestle them from him on the living room rug like the kids He Loves, Maranatha!
Hi Jimboni thinking about what you said. A thought just now was of his patience toward us ... And we'll I applied it to our impatience in waiting for His coming to get us. What do you think? Also, beside the point but I read a historical novel on women who helped the war effort by a analyzing pictures of the Nazi efforts to stop them. They lived in tents on t grounds of a mansion outside of London I think. But, the numbers issue caught my attention because today I was finishing (trying to) reading Ezra and the geneaology of those returning to Jerusalem with Ezra was listed and then in Ezra 8:14 of the sons of men ... And with them 70 men. I did not research this but questioned, why mention 70 men? The seats in the heavenlies and relation to the wedding hall/reception and having them filled ... in relation to 2 Peter 3:8-12 and God's patience with us! Never once have I thought this!
And now I read the Seeking, Jimboni. I have assumed that seeking is finding. I enjoyed your correlation to playing roughhouse on the carpet with daddy!
Amen sister Sherry thank you for sharing that with us very moving powerful and the truth my sister amen ! I pray you are doing good and I know you are in good spirits amen !
Jimboni, Cathi and Jeramiah - You are all so right and you've summed it up perfectly. He's allowed me to take joy in the Seeking because it leads to so many other insights into His nature and character, the finding becomes secondary. Don't misunderstand, I seek with the hope and prayer to find, but I'm learning not to miss the blessings along the path. Cathi the 70 men ties back to God's Divine Council. As Michael Heiser (highly recommend, just not on prophecy) points out - "If its weird, its important." So, if something sticks out - like Gideon's left-handed men, then it's important. Why left handed? Left handedness in that culture denoted lesser - but is there more? Now we know the DNA chain is left handed and even one right handed chromosome trashes the chain. Deep, so deep is His Word we will need much time by the River to even begin to understand it all. I can hardly wait. "Daddy, are we there yet?" ABBA UP! Blessings - Sherry
I pray everyone is doing good amen ! I see in israeli times that the Saudi crown prince has recognized Israel and is talking future ties with them seems like something but with so much happening with Israel now its hard to keep up with ! Im glad to be home but ready to fly home my true home :) https://www.timesofisrael.com/saudi-crown-prince-recognizes-israels-right-to-exist-talks-up-future-ties/
And I noticed in that Saudi crown prince statement he said we have to have a peace agreement sounds like this guy maybe could be an antichrist isnt his name ben isnt that who Israel looks for as their savior ?
Hey through and through blessings my brother in christ I pray you are.doing well! I was just finishing reading the article it sounds very interesting Jerrad Kushner and the Saudi crown prince have been in many talks lately and now the prince wants to recognize the jewish state and is pushing for a peace deal so will this be a peace deal of many ? We know it doesnt day a peace deal in the bible but it does say a agreement signed by many and peace will be in Israel for 3 and a half years am I correct in this ? Also we have nasa stopping all live video feed in space on rocket luanches strange what are they hiding , I have never seen orange snow , I have never im 40 years seen or heard of the oceans receding out for miles , some of my clients today who live on the coast told me they have never seen the coast waters doing what they are doing , then weather the birds animals acting crazy and large scale die off , we are in the end times and I have been praying about this I just feel in my spirit everything is falling into place as Gods will shall be done and the bible says EVERY knee shall bow not a couple not a few ALL I feel like things are moving fast and weather alone will escalate worse this year then ever before ! I heard someone say that trumps pulling his troops back from seria and placing them around asia also today I heard that a school in alabama the teachers walked out today and said enough is enough not sure if they walked out over guns or pay , and that kid who did the shooting on V day is getting fan mail like he is a celebrity really wow how far has this world fell ! Prayers for all my brothers and sisters and for all across the world amen !
Thank you for the Bible verse Psalms 35 27. And blessing to hear about the shulamite in the Song of Solomon and what the name means there's so much in God's word that we have only just begun. And a joy it is to hear God's word after I ve' been through the day and then some. Today was one of those times where we get thrown under the bus and you begin to wonder what's going on. And then you come to the realization by God's grace that He is protecting you no matter what and will work all things out together for good to them that love the Lord . Brian I'm sure there are many here that can feel what you are experiencing. There are Hill and Valley sensation with the intensity of His coming. But as I look back over the past years I realize that I would not want it any other way, the sense of urgency in my heart causes me to take every moment more precious than I did before and to be conscious of my obedience to the Lord. I have to say there are times when I hold off on decisions because I think well, I do not have to make that decision.... the Lord is coming and that is a bit of a struggle. Our consolation is that he is coming because he has promised us and like God's Warrior said we are keeping our eyes on the times Maranatha
thanks GW - I am doing well thank you, but kids are keeping me on edge:) The interesting aspect of the Crown Prince calling for recognition of Israel comes back again to Daniel 9:27, where is says 'and the people of the prince who is to come'. Many think this purely refers to the Romans, however some modern day teachers (referencing back to Josephus), have pointed out that the army that came against Jerusalem in 70ad was made up largely of people from the Arab nations surrounding Israel, but commandeered by the Roman army. This is why many speculate that the AC will come from one of the surrounding Muslim nations (including Turkey), making it even more interesting that the Crown Prince made such comments about Israel.
On a separate note, I was reading Greg L's article, and he pointed out a fascinating definition from the word 'await' in Phil 3:20. "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ". Await meaning 'welcome from and out of' (from Biblehub). 'The prefix (apo) intensifies the root (dexomai) to emphasize the idea of separation. 553 (apekdéxomai) therefore is used of looking completely away from this world – and to the upcoming redemption of our body.'
Love it!!!! so Phil 3:20 can read "for our citizenship is in heaven, from also we eagerly look completely away from this world to the redemption of our body, and our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ" or something along those lines. MARANATHA!
Brian McCollister: God grant you His peace in patiently awaiting His return for us! I felt the discouragement and pain in your words, and just wanted you to know that you’ve come to the right site for comfort and companionship as we all wait together. God bless you, brother!! 🙏🏻
Oh, Ryan, those were also great nuggets. Boy can I relate to - "I don't belong here, this is not my home and I literally feel like a fish out of water here." The sense grows stronger and stronger each day and I'm beginning to learn to come into agreement with it, rather than being distressed by the remaining. This is a temporary place I barely recognize any longer, and so the cares of this life seem so much less important. In my true home, the only things that matter are those things we can take with us - Souls! Whether we are fishing for new brothers and sisters or throwing a lifeline to a current brother or sister who is drowning we, like Jesus, are about the Father's Business! This is a favorite workshop of mine. Blessings to all and if I don't see you here tomorrow - I'll meet you by the River! Blessings - Sherry
Sister Sherry I feel the same way as this evil world is not our home and I cant wait to meet you and all my brothers and sisters by the river amen ! Its going to be so nice to rip away this flesh and fly away !
I think of the word 'loving' his appearance in 2 Timothy 4:8, Brian, and your discouragement and all of this. I think this also means 'longing'. I am not sure what is involved in being given a crown of righteousness that Paul speaks of ... After he has fought the good fight and at this time he sees he is at the end. Matthew Henry commentary talks about it is laid up for us. it is not in our possession. He says it will be given to all who love, prepare and long for his appearance. In Darby commentary, he says similar things, but he talks of Paul's isolation, a person named Demas left for he was presently in love with the world and others for various ministerial reasons. So, Paul talks about the individual, of righteousness, and finally of the assembly. We are that assembly. It is that in the midst of the ruins, a consciousness of this, that we have faith, a sense of what Christ is and this gives us confidence even tho we mourn. I thought this was beautiful. It is encouraging and uplifting to be surrounded by like-minded believers. As I believe the apostle Paul is also trying to say.
Cathi TY for mentioning Demas. Paul called him a "fellowlabourer" in Philemon 24 and even mentions him just tight together with the apostle Luke in Colossians 4:14 so there was a time when Demas was not recognizable (even) to Paul as being an unsaved false brother from the start. But the END of one's walk and life always tells about 1 John 2:19 and it always gets revealed if a person was truly saved or not. It's the end that tells like with Judas. Blessings to you!
Annabel, I wasn't thinking about Demas' situation at the time, but the verse 2 Timothy 4:9 is only saying he left because he was in love with the world, as Paul went on to discuss others. I did know there were other passages where he was affirmed by Paul. Like the passage in 1 Corinthians 5 that talks about a guy in the church sleeping with his step-mother and they were accepting of it. Paul tells them he needs to be removed and so Satan has authority to what pummel him because of sin and the point was to getting him back to walking in the truth. I had read this was a grevious thing that the pagans around them would not have entertained doing. But, it makes me think of others saying to finish strong. And, the issue of judging a person's spiritual condition. In effect, really the lost sheep. They are still his sheep or why go looking for them ... And if they are lost, well where are they and what are they doing? Just thoughts.
Cathi and Annabel, I believe we simply have to accept we cannot know the final condition of a brother or sister. We are given only 2 snapshots into the life of Demas - one where he is apparently saved and another where he is "in love with the world" and not walking in the faith. In the good old Southern Baptist Church I grew up in we called it backslidden. No, it is not a biblical term, but it does describe a positional place a Believer may find themselves in. I recognize the location, for I have been there. The reasons a Believer goes there are innumerable, but God is always bigger than the reasons and He brings the true Believer back. What makes it difficult for us, is we have no heart measure guide awarded to us so we do not know if the original profession of faith was of the heart or merely mental ascent. I think that's what Annabel is referring to. What I learned personally is we can never go so far that God will not find us. Yes, Cathi, the Shepherd always finds that lost sheep - he did it for me in the most miraculous way possible. It was done in such a manner I could never doubt His love for me and His awareness of where I was and what He would do to bring me home. If we could blow it - it wouldn't be Christ Finished Work on the Cross. Now, we can get to Sanctification - that's a lifetime process and those who don't cooperate with Holy Spirit in this process will find themselves in Heaven at the BEMA Saved, as if by fire. All or most of their works will be burned up, because they were done with the wrong motivation - a wrong heart - and thus they will come out with nothing but wood, hay and stubble and it will burn. Their reward will be little. I don't believe anyone will come out with no reward, just because of the mercy of the Father, Jesus will find something they've done rightly to praise. But, be aware, that's me reading into the event with the heart of the Father in mind, for there is nothing in Scripture that I'm aware of to support that notion. Blessings - Sherry
Well, Sherry I was all ready to say really there is at least one reward ... Alas I have been the bsckslidden person and away from God and well, mostly my whole life. I will stop as I's end up writing a book. Thanks for your love of the great shepherd!
Sherry, joining you there, I see the topic of salvation the same way.
"Yes, Cathi, the Shepherd always finds that lost sheep - he did it for me in the most miraculous way possible. It was done in such a manner I could never doubt His love for me and His awareness of where I was and what He would do to bring me home. If we could blow it - it wouldn't be Christ Finished Work on the Cross."
Cathi, I'm joining you too LOL, "Welcome to the backslidden club"! Okay, that's something I'm not happy about concerning myself, but it's always *refreshing* to my heart to experience that I'm not alone! I don't like the term "blackslidden" either, there's a judgmental, condemning edge to it. What's happening is that people are giving into their flesh because of our sin nature, it is sad and none of us are happy about it. That's why we need a Savior and we could mature through sanctification with the help of the Holy Spirit but each individual believer's walk is different with the Lord and we'll never be "good enough" while in this flesh but our Savior is good enough (this is indeed the good news! :--).
Lol, Nora I agree with you! And, I like what you said about Howe we could mature in sanctification with the help of the Holy Spirit but, each person's individual walk is different. I had a friend say that to me once when I was rather not to happy about my life course ... blaming myself, which is true. I remember looking at her and just not getting how she could say this. I don't think I really ever will. Yet, somehow seeing you write this softens my heart a bit.
One last thought on my understanding of the Baptist term "Backslidden". In my experience when I heard that term used, they referred to someone who was in their human understanding, genuinely saved and a Brother or Sister in the faith, but their fleshly actions were not currently lining up with their confession of Faith. It wasn't used of someone who committed a sin, but of one who was "out of fellowship" at the time and off living in the world. Not raping, robbing and pillaging, but living for self and not behaving in a way the scripture tells us we should. I understand it to me a real Brother or Sister, not someone who has made mental ascent and not melded their heart with Jesus. Bear in mind, in the denominational setting, we hear many terms used which are not scriptural yet they are descriptive of what that particular group understands about a thing. The trick is to know how that group thinks without the guidance of scripture - therein lies the problem. But, I still find myself from force of habit going back to some of the old descriptive terms because they make sense to me, even though they don't really convey very well. Blessings - Sherry
I guess I am saying to hang in there, Brian along with all of us too! To not turn aside and be in the world. But, stand firm, press on ... occupying till He comes as you wait, watch and are on alert. It will happen in a twinkling of an eye.
Maybe the fullness of the Gentiles will be completed on a Jewish feast day or coincide somehow.
I just heard Carl Gallups talk on going ahead, pay your bills ... cut the grass ....
Robyn, did you read a recent book of his where he talked about Genesis 6, "Gods & Thrones"? You mentioned him on the last post, I think.
We encourage one another as we see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:23-25. Sometimes, this is hard to find in others, within a church, fellow believers, family members etc to even bring up the subject. But, we also are an assembly of believers and this is also before our eyes.
Cathi, no I haven’t read that book, but just now ordered it! The reviews relate it to the works of Horn, Gilbert, and Heiser, all of whose works I have read, so I know I’ll enjoy it; thank you for recommending it to me. If you haven’t heard him on You Tube talk about the third temple, I highly recommend it— very thought provoking. The more I study and learn, the more I realize just how LITTLE we may TRULY know and understand.
I've read it and it's a terrific read. I surely don't agree with him on the timing of the Rapture, but that's neither here nor there. He has literally taken on the Nephilim and so many things the church simply won't address and he's done so soundly without much of the drama that puts some off with others. He has definitely gone where angels fear to tread and right where I prefer to live! You'll love it! Blessings - Sherry
Oh, good, Sherry... Can’t wait to dig in to it. I discovered the truth about the “sons of God” of Genesis 6 several years ago and realized we’d all been told a lie of tradition in the churches all these years. I know I’ll enjoy this new book, as from what I can tell, Carl Gallup isn’t afraid to rock the boat of tradition if his research leads elsewhere. Thank you for your review of the book, and God bless you, dear sister. 🙏🏻
Jeramiah, I assume you're asking about the book Robyn referred to. The name of that one is Gods and Thrones and his YouTube Channel is Carl Gallups. If you were thinking of Mike Heiser, one of my favorite books of his that will absolutely teach you amazing things is The Unseen Realm. For all who have not read it, it is one of my treasured possessions. Mike is an academic, a Hebrew and Greek scholar, who teaches Old Testament at seminaries. He also does a Podcast called The Naked Bible and the episodes are archived, NakedBiblePodcast.com. Absolutely stunning what you will learn about the Old Testament and the culture of the Hebrews and others of the day from this man. Again, forget him when it comes to prophecy. Forget him when it comes to the Rev 12 sign, he's no help. One thing I learned from him which I found fascinating and appalling is the divide between the academic community of religious scholarship and the pastors and lay people. There seems to be some invisible divide. The scholars write for the scholars - except Mike - that's his calling. Once the Pastors leave seminary, they want to be done (most of them, certainly not all) with academia and don't want to be bothered with learning new information or the rigors of vetting their opinions. Thus, we hear things taught as absolute fact in the pulpit the academic world believes is just nuts. I was astonished to learn about this. Enough rambling from me today. Blessings - Sherry
Hello brothers and sisters here is a post I have copied from facebook - hope this brother in Christ doesn't mind me reposting it - for this is my humble opinion also OR Pentecost . Since it is sort of becoming more obvious as time goes by that the rapture of the church seems to have nothing to do with a feast day as someone stated above. But I do not believe it will be just any given day, our G-d does not work that way , he always has specific days for everything he does and I believe the rapture will be no different.
The Revelation 12 sign was back on 9/23 and if it were a symbol of the birth of the Church, then that would imply that it would be a countdown. Since a healthy pregnancy can be between 38 and 42 weeks (I'd go with 40 just because of the consistency of that number in the Bible), then that would put the Rapture at one of the following dates:
38 Weeks: 16 June 2018 39 Weeks: 23 June 2018 40 Weeks: 30 June 2018 41 Weeks: 7 July 2018 42 Weeks: 14 July 2018
Of note, Mahmoud Abbas, Mohammed bin Salman, and President Trump all have stated the desire for the Middle East Peace Plan to be announced by this July.
The way things are going on at the Middle-East, I think a big regional war might break out soon, possibly before this summer. If that happens, every near-time plan to introduce that peace plan will be probably scrapped.
Of course I could be wrong in these assumptions but these things can happen. Thinking about the prophecy of the destruction of Damascus in Jeremiah 49 and its description how the Lord rebukes and chase away the many nations that roar like the seas there.
According to Brother Sean (at the Eschatology Today blog) there's a showdown coming between Iran(&Co.) and the very nations which are working on this peace plan (USA&Israel&Saudi-Arabia plus other Gulf States). Only the Lord knows what the future holds though and when this showdown will happen if it will really happen.
Hey guys. Just watching news report on tv about an another active shooting at YouTube HQ in San Bruno, CA of all places. Everyday it’s something, but such wonderful thoughts and encouragement above from you all!
Brother Todd @It is Finished did a message today that I believe many can relate to. He spoke of being at the edge of a sea we cannot cross on our own and being hard pressed from all sides. We are gonna get across though and it will be in the nick of time for sure. As he said, there is One on the other side who will make the impossible happen and there will be that one moment in time-just a twinkling is all it will take-and Deliverance will be our instant delight! Right now, my own knees feel weak as I pray for strong faith and good courage, but I will just sit down at His feet for awhile and look up for the necessary strength I know will come. We are still in the midst of Passover week:-) Maranatha Brothers and Sisters!
I had chills about our still being in Passover week when you wrote this ... Mostly, I think because I find it hard to believe ... I can see myself feeling cold .... And, back to worrying about things in this life ... As, kind of like I was trying to say to Brian M above as in applying this to other issues too, yes?
Hey Cathi. I know...it’s easy to get distracted with this or that and let ourselves slip away from the watch for a bit, but something will happen to turn us right back to praying again and knowing where our Hope is. The world has nothing to offer but bad news everyday all day and yet they mock us and hate US for encouraging one another with the love of our Lord and His Promise to us. Their lives are like insane yo-yos while the children of God move in One Steadfast direction toward the Way, the Truth and the Life. And when we do pause or come up a bit lame, the family is there to poke and prod us into moving forward with the flock again. That fresh green Spring grass by the river of Living Water awaits us and the smell only gets sweeter and crisper by the moment. Love you all and feeling the nearness of our Shepherd:-)
Amen sister Shieka B I feel the same way and I know when the time comes He will carry us to the other side amen amen amen amen! In our weakness he is our strength ! I too seen the shooting in cali on tv as evil is running like a wild man killings daily getting bolder and bolder! Technology is growing I went by walmart earlier today and they have installed these new hige machines and lockers at the front of the stores that make where you come in and dont have to go through the store looking for anything you go to the machine type in a new tv or food or cloths pick what you want and wallah its there crazy right! Time is so short maranatha !
Sister sheila B your right the smell of that green grass on the other side mmmm tge nearness is so so close I can't wait I get goose bumps thinking about it ! Amen
That is crazy, Jeramiah. Haven’t seen that one yet but it’s definitely all going that way. I don’t know if you ever check out those Google Doodles things but the one from today was pure wicked. It was like the devil putting a direct message in God’s face.A very creepy Maya Angelou poem about being made to eat dust and rising back up. Chilling. I believe he’s here (at least in spirit) and ready to roll with a vengeance. I know we can’t be here much longer at all. I usually see something neat in the Bing Screensavers as well. Yesterday it was called 7 Magic Mountains. It was a compilation of 33 boulders painted in bright primary colors and stacked in columns like altars in stark contrast to the brown desert in the middle of Jean Dry Lake, NV. Made me think of how the followers of Jesus live in such stark contrast to this world that is for us a dry and empty desert. Then today it was a beautiful scene called Piano Grande in Italy. A tiny little village called Castelluccio that is famous for its crop of prized lentils. This was the main ingredient that allowed Jacob to obtain the hungry Esau’s birthright in exchange for a piece of bread and bowl of lentil pottage. So many today are hungrily exchanging their eternal salvation for the temporary pittances of this dying world. It makes you realize just what a wonderful gift we’ve been given to know the True Bread of Life. And just knowing He will keep us all fed with Grace and Mercy until He comes will keep us all going in the right direction:-) Blessings, Brother!
with the US making a firm commitment to bring home the troops (under the guise of 'improving border security'), I wonder if its an indication that Trump is about to unleash heck on Iran and doesn't want his troops in Syria to be in the firing line.
Thanks Sheila for your encouraging words. It is comforting to remember that we move steadfastly in one direction toward The Way, The Truth, and The Life! And, the gift of knowing the Truth as He feeds us with grace and mercy because He is the Bread of Life. He keeps us, He is the Author and Finisher of our lives. Hebrews 12:2. And, it is our looking to Him, not us looking at ourselves.
Amen Sheila the days seem to be short however filled with so many challenges and the changes that are occurring in the world. I continue to pray that God will keep my mind on his word and not what's going on around about I appreciate what you and God's Warrior mentioned as to not having the encouragement that's needed and having some mocking around us because of the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ I'm reminded of the verse that says many are the afflictions of the righteous but God will deliver them out of them all. Today again I reminded the Lord that we are waiting patiently and that we are wondering I thought the Lord might want to hear it from another one of his children Lord bless you all Maranatha
OK so the YouTube shooting lastly was a significant orchestrated event again (please note what #On Point Preparedness and #Hacking the Headlines have to say about this!) - my immediate thoughts on this are: There's a shelf life even to Matthew 10:25-27 as we could go on and on by observing the wicked but there has to be a time limit to reveal their wickedness here on earth too. I often ask the LORD like Habakkuk did: 'So what else am I supposed to learn about this? That the wicked are wicked and will remain wicked? Is there anything I haven't learned so far then about them? So why do we have to watch this just repeatedly now?' because I just hate it if someone tries to teach me things I have long time understood from the start. I know there is a shelf life to these revelations too and MUST be. The NWO false flag YouTube shooting is now another huge sign we will depart soon. God did let us use the internet to reveal much of wickedness and conspiracy to us (Psalm 2) and to give our comments on them; but now the time has come that the rest of revelation might be stored for earthly judgement and the white throne trial. MARANATHA, we fly soon!
Dear sister Alla, much appreciated! :) I just found another proof of this shooting being a false flag orchestrated precisely according to the Leftist agenda now look who this shooter was an IRANIAN MODEL-LIKE FEMALE ACTIVIST YOUTUBER oh c'mon how many of these agenda attributes do you still need? This is so much ridiculous, really. Oh and she committed "suicide" in the end? Really? Was anyone watching livestream then to believe that? LOL!! Everybody not completely dumbing-down and deluded must have now at least noticed the crap of an NWO storybook behind... MARANATHA!
I did find it strange the women was iranian and even the news said she was makimg money doing her youtube channle but had complained about the yt strikes or whatever cencorship but killing rampage really doesnt add up !!!
Thank you Annabel for this stuff! And the Scripture about it! It's really amazing! We are at the door! And the other events and the news! Words fail me! Maranatha!
Annabel, you are right on. Isn't it amazing these "shooters" are almost always either suicides or killed by the police. How perfectly convenient. The others are so thoroughly screwed up in their brain you'll never get decent information from them. It reeks of CIA Mockingbird - MKUltra control. Look at how many you can find when you start doing background have been somehow connected to the "Injustice system" - They are programmed. We now learn the "survivors" of Parkland who have been touted by MSM and who want gun control were either not at the school that day or nowhere near the building where the event occurred. The ones who were actually in the building are not allowed to participate in any of the "forums" or appear on MSM. I just learned yesterday the young lady who was interviewed right after the shooting and repeated very clearly there were multiple shooters is now missing. Her Mother and Father and 3 siblings were killed in a bizarre car crash in California. The car appears to have just been driven off the side of a cliff into the ocean - no skid marks, no appearance of evasion - just drove it off the cliff. How many survivors of Las Vegas have now either suicided or mysteriously died? I lost count after 12. The #DeepState here in America is desperate and I suspect globally and they have to pull out all the stops now and get their war on or they will be finished. We know they won't be finished until Christ comes so that means We Fly Soon! Blessings - Sherry
Good Morning Family. To chime in on the thread about the lunacy of the litany of evidence of the Fall being ever brandished about, to what end? My thoughts are brought back to where I was in my spirit last evening in my circulations around the web and that is right back to the double-mindedness we often find ourselves within. On one hand there is the timid, still-sore-from-last-time part of me that says lets see what the tide brings in this cycle and simply watch and pray but not hope too much.
Then there is all the mounting HUGE evidence of many, many, many things building, being staged now, being staged for later, comments made by key players on the world stage, the evidence of the Wind of the Spirit on the Move and I am reminded that when the Moment arrives it will be at a time without any PRECURSOR disruption. Nothing comes first which disrupts the SYSTEM in place when it Happens (Lk 17:27, Matt 24:38). It is a common theme now that WHEN we go up a lot of other stuff comes down, but not before.
Annabel you mention Pastor JD's favorite term 'shelf life' and there are so many aspects of this intertwined choreography, with each one having its own shelf life, as well as the entire lattice becoming so complex that it will collapse of its own weight soon and SOMETHING will go BOOM and violate the verses cited.
So, my take away and encouragement must be this: In the face of sound teaching and insights pushing the likely 'date' ever back, and while one purpose of the display seems to have been accomplished, as noted above, still the escalating working of Lawlessness continues, and the worse it gets, and the closer to the edge of the cliff the entire thing is forced, the sooner we FLY, Maranatha!
Jeramiah I somehow cannot press the "reply" button above but I just want to tell you that an IRANIAN WOMAN (!) used in the YT shooting makes perfect sense to me: please consider all the huge political dimension behind regarding a possible war and the overthrowing of the nuclear deal with IRAN by the US and the censorship of internet / martial law implementation in general such as the role of women in Iran... Last but not least, Iran is the only country left (besides North Korea which now seems to "soften" - Oh so suddenly indeed after 60+ years?? LOL!) without a central Rothschild bank which must be yet installed before the whole antichrist mark of the beast system can go viral. This is so much of a set up indeed. Just so obvious if you have once grasped what the whole satanic plot is about... Blessings to you, love you brother! :)
Sister Sherry, you’ve sure done your homework! You’ve laid it all out as to the many unexplained deaths after each of these events— all of which could possibly tell the truth of each event. Also, I seem to remember a reporter in California a few years ago who was ready to spill the beans, and also had a very mysterious deadly car accident. Satan and his minions are very hard at work, as they know the time is short— praise God! 🙏🏻
Robyn- Sherry- Annabel , as I remember from reading a couple months back the guy that does the daily crow had a huge write -up on that Las Vegas massacre it was a real eye opener and very telling indeed as to just how evil-sinister-sick this world has become. I'm sure y'all read it but if U didn't its still worth taking a look at, just didn't realize the death count was up to 12 now of the survivor witnesses . Oh LORD how much longer ??? MARANATHA DONNA
The thing which is most disconcerting about these false flags (that doesn't mean people didn't die, it means it was a set-up by the evil Elite for a purpose to achieve a nefarious end), is the controllers who put these things into motion seem to have lost most of their concern about being good at it, or really concealing it. For those of us who are awake (been red pilled is my favorite phrase) we can see it a mile away. Here's my rationale - they know we know and they can't really hide it from us anymore so they only do enough to keep the programming intact for the ignorant masses who still live in the matrix. There is literal video-tape and eye witness accounts of multiple shooters in different locations in Vegas. ALL, not some, BUT ALL of these incidents in the US of mass shootings which bear the marks of false flags occur while there is a "drill" going on - it makes it easier for the assets to move in and out undetected. It goes all the way back to Sandy Hook. You can look up numerous videos showing you the actual, physical faces of Crisis Actors at the various shootings. They are there for the media to interview to get the "correct" story line out to the masses. They use the same crisis actors in numerous shootings. You can see them with your own eyes in the videos - it's not conjecture. You can look for the ads they place for Crisis Actors on CraigsList before an event. Now we know to watch for the and you know an event is coming down, before they were found after the fact. Bottom Line - we do not have a clue how evil these beings are and to what lengths they will go. The Georgia Guidestones tell us what their end goal is as far as population reduction. It can be soul crushing if did not know the Father knows all this, has known it from the beginning and has it all in hand. We're just now seeing it - but the deception is huge and it is as black as Satan's heart. Blessings - Sherry

Colossians 3:2-4
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
Philippians 3:20-21
But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
Thank you for reminding us that there is so much out there in media to encourage fellow Christians. This channel by Zeis is a blessing to me. I can see the Lord's humor in Lil Shaul that helps to carry on with our daily activities and occupying till He comes.... as Paul so happily states. I am continually reminded by all of you and others such as Paul that we are to rejoice and take comfort in the days ahead, the expectation of His soon return. What a joy set before us. Maranatha
ReplyDeleteAnd, VeeBee a crown of righteousness awaits you as you long for his appearing and are watching and waiting and havent turned away being bogged down and concerned with only earthly things.
DeleteYes, Cathi , Amen .. I do not want to be under that Bog trunk
DeleteThank you, Brad for putting up Zeus' video on 'Loving One Another' which was timely. We can take this sound advice from Zeus and apply it to our lives especially at this Easter season.
DeleteI think the emptiness he spoke of after the events beginning in 2013 through late 2017 (or, even just after the Revelation 12 sign), in asking oneself 'What Do We Do Now?' is true. In his response to 'Look Up!' apropos.
It is like going on a vacation even if a few days or attending a special event out of town and returning home. There is a natural let-down and a sense of melancholy as you prepare to return to the routine of one's life, with its cares, responsibilities, tasks etc.
Yet, there is more! To occupy. To edify, exhort and comfort as in 1 Corinthians 14:3.
And, we are comforted as in
1 Thessalonians 4:15-18.
Just to throw in my two nickels here...while what Paul has said about many of the Watchfolk across the spectrum struggling for cohesion and grasping for signs to rally around has been evident, I have seen something quite different in those who occupy this site here. Yes, there is always some doctrinal debate, but I have seen so much edification here and so much comfort given with so much love. Somehow, the occupiers of Rev12daily have managed to continually point one another to our Savior regardless of what we can or cannot see with our eyes. We have kept each other informed on a “daily” basis with hope and prayers as well as a lot of pertinent prophetic events and information. Other than what I have seen as the occasional outright black chariot raids that blow through, this flock has stayed a flock with our hearts and minds focused on the Blessed Hope and the desire to dwell together in His Presence. I never imagined that I could love people I have never seen like I love all of you. The Holy Spirit has connected us in an unbreakable way which is evidenced in the amount of Grace that has been shared here continually. Grace that has sealed up and healed up whatever disagreements have arisen thus far. You all have been a bulwark for me. I may not spiritually agree with another’s understanding of this topic or that, but I know we all agree in Spirit about why we’re all here and Who it is we are all looking for.
DeleteFully feeling His Presence and fully expecting Him anytime now:-)
Thank you, Brad, for keeping up this awesome and truly blessed platform.
Maranatha, Family!!!
Sheila, beautifully stated, & I agree completely.
DeleteI can't explain the weird stuff from some of the "watchmen" on youtube: crazy new doctrines, attacks on Grace, turning to the gnostic & apocryphal books as if they're the gospel, on and on and on...
But as far as Zeus saying there's no sign to rally around.... well, I have to disagree. All you have to do is read the headlines that bombard us 24/7. JD Farag is a great one to watch, as I'm sure all here are aware of his weekly prophecy updates. .... so much is happening so fast now that one can hardly keep up. God is giving us signs EVERYWHERE. And He's not just giving them to believers... Reading over at the Daily Crow is an example of that. It's really rather overwhelming at times.
But I did like his message about edifying eachother. I think that's something we can always use more of.
Sheila and MK:
DeleteI watched the video and had the same feelings that you both had. In fact, as we’ve discussed many times, the Rev. 12 sign was like the sign on the highway as you near “the exit” (pun intended!!!)
We haven’t felt a void, in fact quite the opposite. We’ve felt excitment, because we know it’s anytime now.
Hi Sheila, MK and Robyn, when I wrote my comments to Zeus' video I wasn't really thinking of us - Revelation 12 - but moreso, other sites like MK mentioning the talk on the book of Enoch. And, like you Sheila I feel a closeness to everyone that grows. And, Robyn in the excitement of the rapture. This site helps keep me on my toes. I am sure many have turned aside and forgotten the Revelation 12 sign, for example. The comments on many sites out there ... there is criticism etc that Zeus talked about. People do look for the next best thing, or feel lost. This site is my go-to site - along with Unsealed.
DeleteYes, Cathi, I agree with you.
DeleteI’m so glad Rev.12 and Unsealed have been there for us, and haven’t once given up watching for our Blessed Hope. Love and hugs to you on this special day!
You too, Robyn 🙇♀️ i would be lost!
DeleteYes, Sisters, I should have included the Unsealed family as well. It goes without saying that edification, grace and love are the foundation there as well. This site keeps me busy comment wise, but I keep up with the articles and discourse there as well and learn so much. Can’t wait til we all get Home together!
DeleteBlessings and hugs!
Robyn, today i watched my two little grand-nieces (2 and 3) play with their grandpa and putting them on his lap, and off and back up ... with the recent talk about fathers - I thought I wish I had a daddy like that! Maybe it never leaves you. I only see them on the holidays. They both have curly red hair ... so tiny.
DeleteBut, I came home, and i said to God, well you are my Daddy. Abba, Father.
Which reminds me how i did write in previous post (deleted) that I have been seeing God's love for us in reading the Old Testament (since January) which surprised me! I only read Psalms or Proverbs.
Awww, Cathie!! How precious your two grandnieces sound-curly red hair— how cute is that! I had wondered what the comment was that you deleted, and hoped it wasn’t something painful, so I’m glad to hear it was actually something wonderful— discovering God’s love for us in the OT!! I have seen it so much in His dealing with Israel; He fusses at them and disciplines them— just like a real Father (should) when they misbehave, then turns right around and tells them how much He loves them, and how He’s going to make everything alright down the road... Yes, we are so blessed to know that it’s okay that our own fathers weren’t “perfect”— we have the BEST Father, just waiting for us to come home to Him. Love you!!!
DeleteThere— I did it again... put an “e” at the end of your name!!! I am truly getting OLD!! 😂👵🏻
DeleteWell, Robyn, you should scroll down and see what i wrote ... anyhow, i had written a more personal thing ...
DeleteOh, hon— I pray it wasn’t something painful/traumatic, but if it was, just remember my story (and I only shared a part of it), and how forgiveness is the start of healing... A big cyber hug to you, sweet girl.
DeleteNo, Robyn it wasnt! I didnt mean to imply that. As to misspelling ... it struck my funny bone (Through & Through's name).
DeleteWell, as you can see, you’re not alone with the misspellings ! Lol!
DeleteWell, it somehow puzzles me how nobody sees bible prophecy fulfilled here as well just describing the time period of Jesus' delay in returning regarding to Matthew 24:48-51 and the following verses about the foolish virgins trying to buy oil (i.e. get saved and sealed by the Holy Spirit in the meantime) but not quite succeeding from Matthew 25:8-10. Just my 2 cents. Not too hard to discover in fact. Everything's in plain view in the bible.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I shouldn't be surprised that no one can see that if being from the group of disciples that doctrinally so much agree both chapters being adressed to "Jews only"... Oh boy. LORD come quickly now! MARANATHA!
Annabel:
DeleteYes! Lord come quickly!
(On this, His Resurrection Day, hopefully!) Love, joy and peace to you today and always, sister... 🙏🏻♥️
Amen!
DeleteHappy Resurrection Sunday Brothers and Sisters!
ReplyDeleteDitto, Sister Nora!
DeleteHe is RISEN!! Hallelujah!!! 🙏🏻
A joyous resurrection Sunday to all of you ..Soon with the church up in the air
DeleteThank you Nora! Indeed. And to all of you!
DeleteGod is reminding us to be ready and share the hope we have. Hearts and motives are being exposed, helping the wheat and tates to be fully exposed.
ReplyDeleteGood and Blessed Resurrection Morning to all, amen. Sheila B., I am in accord with your post and also encourage all to remember that Love believes, trusts and hopes all things (for the best) and, before we take up the Sword to defend our understanding of the Word amongst brethren, lets stop a moment and also assume the best of our fellows and then exhort accordingly, amen.
ReplyDeleteAs for the message of this post I have also recently posted about the rise and fall of activity and excitement which surrounds events and Moedim which come, and go. Nature hates a vacuum, and, Little Shaul's calling out this dynamic is a good reminder to us Watchers about such things which can lead to dissension.
The thought I would add and, as I often do, leverage off of Annabel's post, is one which is crystalizing from a comment I made on a posting that the Rev12 Great Wonder served several purposes, one of which was to clarify the divide between the Watchers and the Scoffers. "Let the Sifting Begin!" could well have been the cry of that moment. As the Hourglass empties, I am being reminded that sifting is an incremental process: from Gross to Fine. The Sifter starts with an open-faced mesh and works out the larger chaff, then, shifts to a finer screen, repeat, each time to a finer filter until achieving the quality desired. As you think about events, and non-events as spoken of here, does this sound familiar?
...and who are we to demand that The Potter 'get on with it already'? As He Works His Will upon His raw materials (us), and Readies His Workshop for the final touches upon His Work currently in process, let us seek Him for eager patience while he selects another, even finer screen and continues sifting, but a tiny bit longer, amen. He is Risen, INDEED!, Maranatha!
He is Risen, indeed!
DeleteJimboni! Cherished your thoughts here on the sifting process and the perfecting of the grains. Just a little bit longer we pray.
Blessings, Brother:-)
There're the latest News in Israel National News:
ReplyDeleteHamas: Gaza unemployed will 'snipe Israel from a distance' – Hamas leader (Yahya Sinwar) tells Gaza protesters there can be 'no peace' with Israel ever… "We are here to remind you that there is no peace with the enemy and that no experience or plan will make us decide to make peace with him."…
Erdogan: Netanyahu is a terrorist and Israel is a terrorist state – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of being a ‘terrorist state’ Sunday, and called Israeli Premier Binyamin Netanyahu a ‘terrorist’, after IDF forces opened fire on infiltrators during a Hamas-led confrontation on the Israel-Gaza border on Friday. …
'Who is Turkey calling an occupier?' – Israeli premier blasts Turkish president, who called Israel 'terrorist state, occupier'. 'Erdogan isn't used to people talking back to him.'
Jaco Prinsloo FB – If you consider the video in the article below, you will see that the situation in Gaza seems to be escalating rapidly. There are thousands of Palestinians who are now walking the streets with machine guns and if they plan to increase the intensity of violence against Israel, we are going to see all the aspects coming together to have the world turn its back on Israel for defending itself.
This escalation would also seem to be happening quite rapidly and it would seem that we would not have to wait very long to see the nations rushing in to destroy Israel. Blessings!
Alla D, Blessings, Sister. I don't have many details but heard there is a march into USA from the Central Americans, northward, to protest USA policy in an 'in your face' march of many thousands into the border crossing in order to force a confrontation (order out of chaos). Along the lines of my recent contribution concerning 'Tells' on the sails I cannot help but see a common theme here.
DeleteUSA is also seen as a 'new Israel', being one of her identities, and carrying some parallels to that nation, spiritually. USA & Israel, in these current situations, are both being violently called out, in the public square BY THE PEOPLE as illegitimate, occupiers of the lands of 'others', being Triumphal Colonialists politically, etc. This 'march' into Texas, from what I hear, seems to have 'popped up' out of nowhere, today, but my spiritual mariner's eyes see a pattern in the Tells and I am thinking they speak of a common thread in the Heavenlies. Hmmm, Maranatha!
Yes, Jimbony, your post is really great, worth to study! Be very blessed! I'm seeking now the Scriptures to this. As to US and Israel it's interesting Amir's update yesterday. Maranatha!
Deletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65ghd7vhTUQ
Sorry for my error in your name, Jimboni!
DeleteNo harm, no foul, Alla D :) By the way, looks like Corsi at WND has his eyes on the Tells, as well. Saw this post at Rapture Ready News today of a WND article: Twin border invasions of U.S., Israel which links over to WND at http://www.wnd.com/2018/04/twin-border-invasions-of-u-s-israel/ . The article is billed as an 'Exclusive' but I am thinking that the Holy Spirit has the rights to that phrase here, Maranatha!
DeleteThrough by Through - that heavenly palace is crashing to earth ... in the Pacific Ocean, at this time. 1 in a trillion of getting it.
ReplyDeleteOf getting hit, that is. And, in our atmosohere in the next few hours.
DeleteSorry, i meant Through and Through! Lol. 🤣 Sorry, this time its not the idea of this uncontrolled hunk of metal floating through space, but typing Through by Through.
DeleteCathi, make it easy on yourself— I think Through and Through is Ryan!!😂
Deletethanks Cathi - looks like it hit by Tahiti in the end, so I was able to sleep in peace:) Tried to find significance in the name 'Tahiti', but couldn't find anything of note...escalations in Israel however are certainly worth noting!!
DeleteRyan
God is good! No man knows the day or the hour!!!
ReplyDeleteBut I do believe Jesus is coming soon. He said it clearly 2000 years ago in Revelation 22 three times.
http://www.itwasaplan.com/end-time-sign.html
And there is no question in my mind that the Rev. 12 sign was God's plan.
From the blood moon 9-28-15 to the Revelation 12 sign on 9-23-17 was 726 days. And Strongs concordance Greek word 726 is "Rapture". Then from the Revelation 12 sign to the blood moon on 7-28-18 is 307 days. And Strongs Greek word 307 is "I Draw Up". It seems to me that God is warning us / comforting us that the rapture is near. But it will come in His time and not ours. God is good!

ReplyDeleteZeus thru it all under the bus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aujHYtHjUxQ&t=116s
ReplyDeleteBrad, how did he throw it all under the bus? I just watched that video again, and he said that feast days have been so corrupted throughout history that they probably should t be used to gauge the Rapture. But he said the celestial bodies cannot be corrupted by man, and that the Rev. 12 sign was to comfort and alert us that the time is near. Did I miss something?
DeleteRobyn, i couldnt use his www you tube address but he had a post at the beginning that Zeus was the first to back away when the Revelation 12 sign was past.
DeleteAnd, frankly he wasnt very nice about it. Brad removed it along with a deleted post i had.
DeleteOh, okay— I see...
DeleteJust got off work really tired from the new diet ...first and formost thank you heavenly father for themany blessings you give us all daily and I pray for all those lost , cold , negative , starving, sick, and hungry brothers and sisters across the world , I pray for all my brothers and sisters in christ as I do everyone that God will comfort you all and open your eyes with love and compassion to things we need and to keep us all fed and watchful of the times and the evil that satan is always up to trying to trip us up amen ! I pray that everyone had a blessed day today ! I heard just now they think heavenly palace is coming crashing down tonight or tomorrow we shall see ! Maranatha oh and there was a video this am about 2 meteors or something impacting a mountain valcano in Mexico...?
Deletehttps://youtu.be/BI6LnouOUm4
Paul has consistently and repeatedly affirmed the Rev12 Sign as the real deal... he has never waivered on that one bit as far as i know.
DeleteThanks, Brad; that’s what I thought...
DeleteI’ve never seen Paul back off from the message of the Rev 12 Sign either. I’ve only seen him pressing forward, just like the rest of us, in faith, hope

DeleteHi, Robyn, I am just saying that I wasn't agreeing with Brad, I was only letting you know he had this earlier post, and that Brad removed that I was glad to see he had done so. And, I see he has posted again. Anyhow.
DeleteCathi, I see why Brad must have removed the first post; hope he also deletes the one above. This is such a loving, caring, encouraging site; we just don’t need such sarcasm and hatefulness that defeats the site’s whole purpose.
DeleteWell it is a blessing to read all of your posts and hear what God is doing in your lives and how He is keep ing you close to him while we wait for His appearing. Jeremiah I'm glad you were home safe after working and I hope you are feeling better I will continue to pray for you. I have been awake away for the day with daughter grand babies and family It was a blessing ...God provided for them.... their house flooded during the Ventura County floods and they were finally able to get in a new house they are safe praise God.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in seeing what happens and where that spacecraft crashes.Hmm about disappointments. No wthere are many what we call now ...look out dates.... but I cannot be discouraged because I know the Lord has the exact time Chosen and it will be a perfect time so if I am anxious for Him to come in the day that I think He 'should come, then I am calling His word untruthful. His timing is always perfect.
I cannot stop thinking about the unusual names that have come about in the last year's the movie with Noah the storm named Noah, and now Heavenly Place falling through the sky rather interesting how God uses a small things to speak to us. He is coming soon Maranatha
VeeBee, it did fall to earth over tge Pacific Ocean April 1
DeleteIt is no more. Tho rare to have a piece hit somone, Space.com said not to pick it up coz of a toxic fue.l
I am glad your daughter and her family are living in a safe place, VeeBee.
DeleteDaily Crow said the heavenly palace was near Tahiti.
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Psalms 62:8
VeeBee:
DeleteFunny I had the very same thought yesterday regarding the Heavenly Palace crashing to earth... a Satanic take on the New Jerusalem? And then there’s the Humanity Star, which many have called Satan’s star, as well as Elon Musk’s RED Tesla with the defiant dummy driver on a road trip through space (I have to admit, though— that picture makes me laugh...)
Also, names given by NASA to space missiles, craft, etc.:
Apollo, Thor, Saturn, Titan, just to name a few.

DeleteVeeBee, so good to hear your daughter and family have been safely restored.
DeleteThat peace of mind is such a blessing as we watch and wait.
God be with you and yours continuously.
Maranatha, Sister!
Vebee thank you for the prayers I am very blessed to hear you had a good day and about your duaghter and grand babies I am very happy they have been blessed with a home and food after such a tragic event as those floods you will all stay in my prayers and I too have to agree that its funny all the strange names everyone is using for storms like Jose and maria and i was just talking to mom last night and she was telling me she feels like Putin named that missle satan 2 becuase of fear the russians know our faith and could be using Satan name to try an intimidating the USA but I feel like all these names they are using from the bible makes me feel as if God and also satan both sides good and evil in their own way using the names to wink at us if that makes since satan in a bad way coming from his evil diminuions ! I noticed that trump is pulling the troops back from middle east is something about to happen ? ??? It seems as if alot and i mean alot is going on i ln the sky they are cutting alot of camera feeds !

ReplyDelete"Rapture Confirmation Dream"
(youtube channel: Midnight Hour Oil)

I saw that, Nora and it is just more sweet encouragement. As I was sitting in the little Schoolhouse Church yesterday, I was thinking that actually, the day was the anniversary of His Crucifixion and the anniversary of His Resurrection on Nisan 17 was still 2 or 3 days out depending on where one is in the world. After the service, I walked out with my grandson to stand in front of the 3 tall crosses. I asked him,
DeleteSo Jayden Ray, which side do you want to be on? He pointed up to the center Cross and said “I’m gonna be right there in the Middle with Jesus”. Just made the day for me. Soon and very soon!
Oh, Sheila, How precious. Train up a child in the way he should go and he will never depart from it. He's got it! Blessings - Sherry
DeletePsalm 8:2 Maranatha
DeleteSheila, you’re so very blessed!!! What a sweetheart Jayden Ray sounds like!
DeleteTY. He is a mess. He loves rocks better than anything and collects them by the buckets. You could give him a bagful for his birthday and he’d be quite happy. So as we were leaving the Church yesterday he found a little fist sized one in the parking lot that he just had to have.
DeleteGot home and he’s out in the yard and decided to throw that rock straight up in the air. He was totally shocked when it came right back down on the top of his head. Through the tears and ice pack, I reminded him that what goes up will come back down, which led us into a prayer for the lump on his head and another conversation about “The Rock” and he was soon okay, but I think he took away a good lesson on gravity:-D
Pretty nice, Sheila! Except for the lump on the head!
DeleteMy mom is kind of the same way, she LOVES to collect rocks too, she's truly a rock and minerals enthusiast! :--)
DeleteThinking about the date of Nisan 17, this date is on different days on the different calendars. We don't know how much the calnedars are off (only that most of them are off) but that's not a problem after all. :--) The rapture could happen any time. I've just heard today that on the Enoch Calendar Nisan 17 starts tomorrow at sunset in Israel. I've also heard that Tuesday is the traditional Jewish wedding day. We'll see...
It's very interesting, your are already blessed very much, Sheila! The Lord is really very near! And connection of Jimbony with Ps 8:2. This is also strange for me, because this verse was my daily study today! I study daily 1-2 verses and make a little outline for my family and fellow believers. This coincidence is amazing! I wrote in my outline:
DeleteJesus quoted this verse to the apostates to the chief priests and scribes (apostates of His times) after His entrance to Jerusalem as the King, to show them what's the point – the glorified Lord of the whole earth is coming! Ps 8:1, Mat 21:16. Therefore the Lord teaches the little children (this child becomes also the Lord's education daily, I think), to show the foolishment of the wise men and to hide from them the true teaching of God. Isaiah 29:14.
All this shows to me that we should be ready to meat the Lord very-very soon! Maranatha!
Amen, Nora!
DeleteAmen to that, Alla.
DeleteBrother Todd’s clip today was really good. We really do not know exactly what day it even is so everyday truly has to be high watch day going forward. He speaks about the mirror Seder which is quite enlightening in itself.
Blessings!
A bit of correction: I think I said it wrong and the 14th of Nisan starts tomorrow at sunset in Israel according to the Enoch Calendar (not the 17th), sorry!
DeleteIt's interesting about it a new video of Nick VanderLaan yesterday, it's a bit strange stuff to me.
DeleteBiblical Proof: The Day Starts at Sunrise! – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl1IldkIBZQ
Alla, I spent time about 5 or 6 years ago studying that very thing— that the Biblical day actually starts in the morning. It actually made a whole lot of sense.
DeleteAlso, at about that same time, I did a study regarding the building of a third temple, and whether it was truly a Biblical concept or not, when you see the actual Greek words used in the NT and the Hebrew words used in the OT for “temple.” Recently, I found a video by Carl Gallops on this very subject that was really excellent.
I realize that I’m in the minority on a lot of these non-Salvific issues, but—thankfully— they’re just that: non-Salvific issues. However, I find these topics very intriguing, and so enjoy studying and researching them.
As a Midwestern boy who raised a couple Midwestern boys I gotta say that a rope, a stick and a rock make up the complete tool kit for the urban 12-year old grunt, yup, worked for us.
DeleteInteresting connect Alla D., on that 'out of the mouths of babes' verse. I am wondering, or 'hearing' perhaps, that ALL us watchers are babes from His perspective and yet He Uses us continuously to share what we are seeing, encourage each other and call the lost to Him, Maranatha! 1 Cor 1:27 !
Yes, Jimboni, this topic became a study in depth really! Thank you for this thought. In Jesus' time the apostate conceived a plan to get rid of Him. And He quoted them this verse to show that it's absolute impossible, and they all knew the previous verse and understood Him! And also the babes showed them the same! And now is the same situation, and the same season! The apostates try to get rid of God's people and of the Church of God, that is the Lord Himself! You said, there're Twin border invasions? Have I got rightly your thought? The Child is going home! Come the Lord quickly, Maranatha!
DeleteLol, Jimboni. So true. He just turned 6 and those are all his go to items. He told his mom the other day that he was going to live a dangerous life and she should just get used to being worried about it.
DeleteI got really tickled at the expression on her face and told her you get 10 times what you gave, Babygirl and your best bet is to pray Even so, Lord, come quickly:-D
I saw an interesting tidbit today. It’s the 50th anniversary of the release of 2001: A Space Odyssey which introduced Artificial Intelligence to the minds of the world. And as insidious as it was portrayed, they have sought after it relentlessly in the desire to become their own little gods.
And erelong, they will sadly only get that image of the beast in answer to their pursuits. So thankful for that child-like faith in the Blessed Hope!
Man Attacks Actor Playing Roman Soldier in ‘Passion of the Christ’ Play to Save Jesus
ReplyDeleteAs we work to discipline ourselves to only attacking the true enemies of the Faith, and not each other, I couldn't help but see this article/event as a similar example of mis-directed 'offense' or defense of the Faith:
Original article on OddityCentral.com – a blog on oddities and wacky news http://www.odditycentral.com/
A Brazilian man was recently arrested after jumping on stage during a Passion of the Christ theater play and hitting an actor playing a Roman soldier over the head with a motorcycle helmet, in a bid to save Jesus from getting crucified.
Someone needs to get Peter back into his seat. Matt 16:23-26 Maranatha!
Hey Everyone, if you haven’t seen it, Brother Barry S. Is asking for prayer. He is very sick and it sounds like the exact same stuff I went through. It will knock you down bad, so be lifting him up to the Lord. I do believe so many of us have been under enemy attack with this illness, trying to drown out our voices. Prayers up and healing down, in Jesus’ mighty Name!
DeletePraying for him!
DeletePrayers going up! 🙏🏻
DeleteYes, thanks, Sheila ... He had said he was doing better just yesterday.
DeleteA Sister in Christ shared the definition of Shalom on the Eschatology Today blog. I found it so encouraging and wonderful, I'd like to share it here:
ReplyDelete"Copied from notes I made about Shalom and its meanings. "According to Strong's Concordance 7965 Shalom means completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord. Shalom comes from the root verb shalom meaning to be complete, perfect and full. In modern Hebrew the obviously related word Shelem means to pay for, and Shulam means to be fully paid." From the days of another period of time that seems like yesterday."
I'd like to add something to that. I've just thought reading this description that in the Song of Solomon, the girl who is the King's love is called Shulamite. I've heard it many times that the Song of Solomon is also about the Lord and the Church. So, the Bride, the King's love is called Shulamite and *Shulam* means *fully paid*. Paid in full aka *it is finished*! How wonderful is that connection!!! The Lord did it all for us, He paid it in full!
My other thought is that one of the promises and wishes of the Lord which is repeated many times through the Scriptures is that He wants to give us His *Peace*! His *Peace*, His *Shalom* is truly not like the world's *peace*, it's enough to consider the above definition. This is also so wonderful!
"Let the Lord be magnified,
Who has pleasure in the well-being of His servant.” (Psalm 35:27)
“For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6)
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." (John 14:27)
Thank you Nora very much! Your post is really great! Very much blessings to you!
DeleteBlessings to you too, dear Alla!
DeleteAwesome post, Nora. I’ve never seen that connection regarding the Shulamite woman.
DeleteBlessings, Sister:-)
Nora, that was just beautiful! I had never seen that before either. His peace is the peace that surpasses all understanding; that much I do know!
DeleteI saw a short video put out by Trey Smith on the crimson worm and Jesus connection. I had heard Chuck Missler years ago made that connection, but Trey’s video is so dear!
Very nice, Nora. Especially with the free Grace issue debated and Lordship Salvation debated online. Fully paid, indeed.
DeleteThank you sister Nora for sharing that with us that is so amazing and beautiful amen ! I love learning new things that is awesome!
DeleteJeramiah, no, Muhammad isn't related to what I said. Also, personally I don't believe that Muhammad had a Jewish wife (though I could be wrong but I'm skeptical about that).
DeleteRe-reading what this Saudi crown-prince is saying is quite interesting though. (There are Muslims like the prince who believe that Muhammad had a Jewish wife but personally I don't believe it's true that's what I meant above. I was very surprized btw, I haven't knew about this "Jewish wife" thing before!)
Delete"There are no problems between Christian and Muslims and Jews. We have problems like you would find anywhere in the world, among some people. But the normal sort of problems.”
That was quite interesting! It seems he wants reconciliation and peace between "the abrahamic religions".

DeleteSister Nora I do the same thing all the time we all do :) i find what the Saudi prince is saying interesting as the AC thing his name has ben in it and doesnt the jews look for a false savior with the name of ben ? I know they are looking for a savior of power and his name is a certain name although its a false savior!
DeleteSister Nora also I came across this late last night can you take s look at this yt video and let me know what you think please !
Deletehttps://youtu.be/IKlzbmIQ9MQ
Jeramiah, I believe so that the AC won't come to the world stage until the Church is on Earth, that's the reason why I don't believe that the Saudi prince could be a candidate. I could be wrong but I think that he remains hidden and in the shadows while we're here. As for the vid, I'm quite skeptical about PlanetX. I'm on the position that in case after the rapture the Lord reveals that such a planet system is there, of course I'll accept it. Until then, it's only a theory.
DeleteGood evening all! Have so many thoughts right now, mingled with disappointment. I've always believed in the imminent return of Christ at ANY moment, but since the Rev12 sign I was actually open to it being tied to a certain day/feast/festival/solar/lunar event. But after this last round of high watch periods (Passover/Easter) I think I'm really just worn out.
ReplyDeleteI know He is coming sooner than we think, and there's so much prophetically that's happening in Israel right now but this trying-to-narrow-it-down-to-a-certain-time-even-down-to-Jerusalem's-time-zone has been draining. Is it possible that by keeping our eyes OPEN for His return that we can actually take our eyes OFF the Lord?
There were at least 2 times over the past week I've had two moments where I was positive it was the moment of the rapture. One was ESPECIALLY amazing! I was driving down the road admiring the cloud formations in the sky. They literally looked like seating rafters in a throne room and the sun was just growing brighter and brighter and brighter. Behind me the moon was already visible and it was still in the afternoon. I got a really nervous/excited feeling as I imagined I was watching Him "coming on the clouds" right in front of me. But slowly the sun became covered behind those very clouds and the light dimmed.
So I've been asking questions like, if the rapture is for the church, why would it be timed to any Jewish holy day or feast? During the church age, God has placed Israel aside for now. Which brings me back to imminence and the fullness of the Gentiles - a NUMBER (not date) specific event.
Anyway, I''ll end this rather-long post now. Just sharing my mindset.
yes, praise God he makes ALL things beautiful in HIS time:)
DeleteRyan
Brian McCollister thank you for sharing your thoughts and that lovely scene you witnessed in the sky and let me tell you when the time comes and it is coming soon but when our savior comes thats going to be an amazing glorius day amen ! I have felt your pain just as we all have and I feel as if the rapture would be tied to a certain event as revelation 12 sign for me was a HUGE sign and it was real and it was to wake up the church just like Billy Grahams daughter giving the gospel to the world at her fathers funeral as we are all getting many signs God doesnt want any to parrish but all to come to him I pray the blood of Jesus Christ over you and your family for God to comfort you and your family as we wait and study and grow closer to our heavenly father daily amen ! Satan is running ramped and bolder then ever things will be changing drastically and now we have all these msm and military putting ufos into the main tv and radio freely feels like they are setting up a deception for when we go up a story to tell all for the raptured church ! Keep your eyes on Jesus and stay well love your brother Jeramiah !
DeletePart I - Sorry Gary, I've been long-winded again -
DeleteBrian, I truly have been exactly where you are this second, including considering if it must be on a Jewish Feast Day or not. I'll offer you my approach now as it has given me great Shalom (thank you Nora, that was beautiful) and thus I know it is from Holy Spirit. I watch as eagerly as before, yet with the thought in mind, this is either a sign or the event and we don't know which. I've made the same argument about the Feast Days, but I lean toward the Feast Days and here is why.
Yes, the Church is predominantly Gentile, yet one of the great signs for the Remnant of Israel will be our departure. Thus, my propensity is to believe the Feast Days play an integral part, coupled with the signs we've been given beginning with the Blood Moons occurred on Feast Days. I believe this, not because of the Church, but because the Rapture is another Great Sign for Israel. I know we have different viewpoints on Calendars, yet we saw those Blood Moons and the Rev 12 sign align with Feast Days on the calendars we use. Now, we have confusion not substantiated by a sign on the potential added month which leads us back to "what would the truly practicing and watching Jews be expecting"? I have used this little teeter-totter mental exercise to allow me to continue watching with just as much excitement and joy, without the soul crushing disappointment of forcing, "It has to be this day." I love to read and study the history and connections around the Feast Days, the common practices and why and when they came into existence and how they connect to Scripture. Since we will be one of the last great "signs" to Israel, since they seek and require signs, I believe we must think more about what it would signify to them than to us if we weren't studying it. I'm still the 3 year old in the back seat, jumping up and down saying "Are we there yet?", but notice that 3 year old never feels crushed when Daddy explains, "Not yet, but see the x, y or z and then we'll see a, b or c and then we'll be there. We're closer, just hang in there. We're almost home." The 3 year old just returns to joyfully and excitedly bouncing back up and down and babbling about all the things they'll see and do, before beginning the chant again - "Daddy are we there yet." Rinse and Repeat - the child never changes. Yes, there is an ebb and flow, but it's always back to the wall and watching for the arrival.
John 14:27-29
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
See Part 2 for the final thoughts
Part 2 - Final Thoughts
DeleteThink now of those Jews, who truly love the Word of God in the OT, yet because of their stubbornness and partial blindness have never accepted Yeshua as ha'Mashiach. Look at their faces as they realize their mistake and FOR THE FIRST TIME read the affirmation of the Old in the New and see John quoting Zechariah.
12:10-14 Zechariah referred to in John 19:37
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
The spirit of grace and of supplications:
And they shall look upon me whom they have pierced,
And they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son,
And shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem,
As the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12 And the land shall mourn, kevery family apart;
The family of the house of David apart, and ltheir wives apart;
The family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart;
The family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
14 All the families that remain,
Every family apart, and their wives apart.
They are stricken as they realize the truth. Look at their faces and see the tears streaming and the deep mourning, for they really have been deceived, by Satan and their own forefathers. Father loves them so dearly and Yeshua has given His all for not only us, but them. Their devastation will be even greater for they have known and understood the meaning of The Day of the Lord, The Tribulation, for centuries. As we depart and the revelations begin to occur to them, they will know exactly what they are about to experience and what their ancestors and themselves have done. Can you imagine the depths of mourning? The Father could, Yeshua could and Holy Spirit will be there for them, though differently than He is for us. Those are Father's children, our brothers and sisters and they will be crushed at the realization of their error - the Remnant will at least.
These are the things which keep me centered and focused on His Face and His Soon Coming without those horrific letdowns I knew before. I pray this helps and I pray - The Spirit of His Shalom be upon you and yours. Blessings to All - In His Grip - Sherry
So, good Sherry. I first typed 'gold' - maybe I should have left it. Yes, gold. It again rises up within me to pray for their salvation as this was the Apostle Paul's heart's desire and prayer to God that they may be saved, Romans 10:1.
DeleteBrian, your closing comment reminds me of a discussion I once had with a gent who said he knew precisely when the Harpazo would occur and, yes, it involves a number, not a date. This fellow was quite a bit older than I, at the time, and we were discussing his work in WWII as a photo intel analyst for the UK RAF where he would analyze photos taken by bombers and recon craft during the Big War. I add that detail to illustrate that this was a very methodical, detailed and learned man and accomplished over his years; a person who's insight is worthy of attention.
DeleteWhat he said was this, God is a Lord of Numbers and He Describes Himself that way often, in scripture. He cited our Lord saying that He knows the NUMBER of hairs on your head (Luke 12:7) as an example. There are many ways this point could have ben made but our Lord was very specific in how he structured ABBA's knowledge around the NUMBER of hairs. Albert Einstein felt that mathematics was the language God used when crafting creation, again with the numbers.
So, what my friend said was that there is a specific NUMBER of angels who fell with the deceiver. Those seats in the Heavenlies are now empty. More than one parable speaks of a King unwilling to have empty chairs at a banquet or wedding, sounding familiar? My friend's adamant position was that, at some future point, a person who accepts Christ will become the occupier of the last, empty seat. Once THAT happens, and the final NUMBER of those seats are filled, then the Wedding Hall is FULL, the Work of The Father is completed, the Time of the Gentiles is OVER and the Trumpet Blows! Maranatha!
P.S. This ties to a section of Scripture with lots of nuggets we all hold to dearly (2 Pet 3):
Delete8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE OUGHT YOU TO BE? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and SPEED ITS COMING.
In light of this NUMBERS idea applied to that pesky tag there, "speed its coming" we see that effective EVANGELISM, which adds to the NUMBER of those saved (filling the seats) ACCELERATES HIS ARRIVAL!!!! How do we know? Because the Bible tells us SO! Maranatha!
OK, sorry, just one more tidbit. Again, notice the FOCUS of this section. WHO is the Lord patient with? YOU! NOT the perishing. ... not wanting anyone to perish he is patient towards YOU! Why you and not the one being converted?
DeleteBecause YOU are the EVANGELIST and He is Patient with YOU while YOU FILL THE NUMBER OF THE SEATS. Wow, wow, wow, amen.
Jimboni, a whole lot of great nuggets in your post—all summarizing how our Father is a God of numbers. The Fibonacci sequence displayed all throughout His creation speaks to this as well. I really loved the part about the last seat at the banquet to be filled— and then the times of the Gentiles is over; what a beautiful picture! Chuck Missler used to joke that, in Heaven, we’ll all be asking that last gentile to be saved, “What took you so long!!!”
DeleteAnyway, thank you for that insightful post...
Robyn, thank you. To have Chuck Missler come to mind and be mentioned in response to anything I post is a very high honor, indeed. While this idea is both insightful and equally frustrating to us Watchers (a target we cannot 'watch'), it feels sound and a likely element of what is going on in these Times, Maranatha!
DeleteGreat Nuggets Indeed Jimboni! Like Robyn, I do see the heart & mind of the teacher in the depth and beauty of your comments. Chuck Missler, you are right, great teacher and great comparison Robyn.
DeleteWe each tend to focus on one single point or sign teaching us of His return. What we fail to recall is exactly what this entire post expresses and Paul's point. There are so many elements and when all are combined, they detail the exact plan. Not one of us has been given every piece of the puzzle. They've been distributed throughout the Body and we must work together in order to complete the puzzle - if that is possible with our current brains, for we have only a glimmer of the Mind of Yahweh. It is our human nature to say, "It's about the day counts", "It's about the Celestial Alignments", "It's about the status in the Middle East", "It's about Israel", "It's about the last soul to be evangelized" or "It's about Daniel's 70th Week and where we are on the Calendar" and on and on. We do this, because that's our area of gifting and focus. But, we mustn't forget the other parts of the body and their pieces of the puzzle.
The truth is, it is about all of those things and we can do our very best to keep track of them, but we probably won't quite get there. Are we back to "No man knows the Day or the Hour", but for an entirely different reason? Probably, but it's not because we aren't to know, or aren't to try and understand. It's simply we aren't up to matching wits with God. But, how glorious and rewarding it is to try when we are trying together! Blessings - Sherry
Sherry, thank you. You also highlight points we wrestle with. Your theme reminds me of a fine point of Scripture I have bantered about at times, it being the Glory of our Lord to Conceal a thing and the glory of His Kings to SEEK (not find) it. It is the SEEKING, that is to say, the WATCHING we are called to do. Our Daddy is a REVEALER of Truth, HE holds the keys and He Loves it when we seek to wrestle them from him on the living room rug like the kids He Loves, Maranatha!
DeleteHi Jimboni thinking about what you said. A thought just now was of his patience toward us ... And we'll I applied it to our impatience in waiting for His coming to get us. What do you think?
DeleteAlso, beside the point but I read a historical novel on women who helped the war effort by a analyzing pictures of the Nazi efforts to stop them. They lived in tents on t grounds of a mansion outside of London I think.
But, the numbers issue caught my attention because today I was finishing (trying to) reading Ezra and the geneaology of those returning to Jerusalem with Ezra was listed and then in Ezra 8:14 of the sons of men ... And with them 70 men. I did not research this but questioned, why mention 70 men?
The seats in the heavenlies and relation to the wedding hall/reception and having them filled ... in relation to 2 Peter 3:8-12 and God's patience with us! Never once have I thought this!
And now I read the Seeking, Jimboni. I have assumed that seeking is finding. I enjoyed your correlation to playing roughhouse on the carpet with daddy!
DeleteAmen sister Sherry thank you for sharing that with us very moving powerful and the truth my sister amen ! I pray you are doing good and I know you are in good spirits amen !
DeleteJimboni, Cathi and Jeramiah - You are all so right and you've summed it up perfectly. He's allowed me to take joy in the Seeking because it leads to so many other insights into His nature and character, the finding becomes secondary. Don't misunderstand, I seek with the hope and prayer to find, but I'm learning not to miss the blessings along the path. Cathi the 70 men ties back to God's Divine Council. As Michael Heiser (highly recommend, just not on prophecy) points out - "If its weird, its important." So, if something sticks out - like Gideon's left-handed men, then it's important. Why left handed? Left handedness in that culture denoted lesser - but is there more? Now we know the DNA chain is left handed and even one right handed chromosome trashes the chain. Deep, so deep is His Word we will need much time by the River to even begin to understand it all. I can hardly wait. "Daddy, are we there yet?" ABBA UP! Blessings - Sherry
DeleteI pray everyone is doing good amen ! I see in israeli times that the Saudi crown prince has recognized Israel and is talking future ties with them seems like something but with so much happening with Israel now its hard to keep up with ! Im glad to be home but ready to fly home my true home :)
ReplyDeletehttps://www.timesofisrael.com/saudi-crown-prince-recognizes-israels-right-to-exist-talks-up-future-ties/
And I noticed in that Saudi crown prince statement he said we have to have a peace agreement sounds like this guy maybe could be an antichrist isnt his name ben isnt that who Israel looks for as their savior ?
Deleteyes I thought that was interesting from an Arab leader perspective. Paving the way for the AC more and more.
DeleteHey through and through blessings my brother in christ I pray you are.doing well! I was just finishing reading the article it sounds very interesting Jerrad Kushner and the Saudi crown prince have been in many talks lately and now the prince wants to recognize the jewish state and is pushing for a peace deal so will this be a peace deal of many ? We know it doesnt day a peace deal in the bible but it does say a agreement signed by many and peace will be in Israel for 3 and a half years am I correct in this ? Also we have nasa stopping all live video feed in space on rocket luanches strange what are they hiding , I have never seen orange snow , I have never im 40 years seen or heard of the oceans receding out for miles , some of my clients today who live on the coast told me they have never seen the coast waters doing what they are doing , then weather the birds animals acting crazy and large scale die off , we are in the end times and I have been praying about this I just feel in my spirit everything is falling into place as Gods will shall be done and the bible says EVERY knee shall bow not a couple not a few ALL I feel like things are moving fast and weather alone will escalate worse this year then ever before ! I heard someone say that trumps pulling his troops back from seria and placing them around asia also today I heard that a school in alabama the teachers walked out today and said enough is enough not sure if they walked out over guns or pay , and that kid who did the shooting on V day is getting fan mail like he is a celebrity really wow how far has this world fell ! Prayers for all my brothers and sisters and for all across the world amen !
DeleteThank you for the Bible verse Psalms 35 27. And blessing to hear about the shulamite in the Song of Solomon and what the name means there's so much in God's word that we have only just begun. And a joy it is to hear God's word after I ve' been through the day and then some. Today was one of those times where we get thrown under the bus and you begin to wonder what's going on. And then you come to the realization by God's grace that He is protecting you no matter what and will work all things out together for good to them that love the Lord . Brian I'm sure there are many here that can feel what you are experiencing. There are Hill and Valley sensation with the intensity of His coming. But as I look back over the past years I realize that I would not want it any other way, the sense of urgency in my heart causes me to take every moment more precious than I did before and to be conscious of my obedience to the Lord. I have to say there are times when I hold off on decisions because I think well, I do not have to make that decision.... the Lord is coming and that is a bit of a struggle. Our consolation is that he is coming because he has promised us and like God's Warrior said we are keeping our eyes on the times Maranatha
Deletethanks GW - I am doing well thank you, but kids are keeping me on edge:) The interesting aspect of the Crown Prince calling for recognition of Israel comes back again to Daniel 9:27, where is says 'and the people of the prince who is to come'. Many think this purely refers to the Romans, however some modern day teachers (referencing back to Josephus), have pointed out that the army that came against Jerusalem in 70ad was made up largely of people from the Arab nations surrounding Israel, but commandeered by the Roman army. This is why many speculate that the AC will come from one of the surrounding Muslim nations (including Turkey), making it even more interesting that the Crown Prince made such comments about Israel.
DeleteOn a separate note, I was reading Greg L's article, and he pointed out a fascinating definition from the word 'await' in Phil 3:20. "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ". Await meaning 'welcome from and out of' (from Biblehub). 'The prefix (apo) intensifies the root (dexomai) to emphasize the idea of separation. 553 (apekdéxomai) therefore is used of looking completely away from this world – and to the upcoming redemption of our body.'
Love it!!!! so Phil 3:20 can read "for our citizenship is in heaven, from also we eagerly look completely away from this world to the redemption of our body, and our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ" or something along those lines. MARANATHA!

Brian McCollister:
DeleteGod grant you His peace in patiently awaiting His return for us! I felt the discouragement and pain in your words, and just wanted you to know that you’ve come to the right site for comfort and companionship as we all wait together. God bless you, brother!! 🙏🏻
Oh, Ryan, those were also great nuggets. Boy can I relate to - "I don't belong here, this is not my home and I literally feel like a fish out of water here." The sense grows stronger and stronger each day and I'm beginning to learn to come into agreement with it, rather than being distressed by the remaining. This is a temporary place I barely recognize any longer, and so the cares of this life seem so much less important. In my true home, the only things that matter are those things we can take with us - Souls! Whether we are fishing for new brothers and sisters or throwing a lifeline to a current brother or sister who is drowning we, like Jesus, are about the Father's Business! This is a favorite workshop of mine. Blessings to all and if I don't see you here tomorrow - I'll meet you by the River! Blessings - Sherry
DeleteSister Sherry I feel the same way as this evil world is not our home and I cant wait to meet you and all my brothers and sisters by the river amen ! Its going to be so nice to rip away this flesh and fly away !
DeleteI think of the word 'loving' his appearance in 2 Timothy 4:8, Brian, and your discouragement and all of this. I think this also means 'longing'.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what is involved in being given a crown of righteousness that Paul speaks of ... After he has fought the good fight and at this time he sees he is at the end. Matthew Henry commentary talks about it is laid up for us. it is not in our possession. He says it will be given to all who love, prepare and long for his appearance.
In Darby commentary, he says similar things, but he talks of Paul's isolation, a person named Demas left for he was presently in love with the world and others for various ministerial reasons. So, Paul talks about the individual, of righteousness, and finally of the assembly.
We are that assembly. It is that in the midst of the ruins, a consciousness of this, that we have faith, a sense of what Christ is and this gives us confidence even tho we mourn.
I thought this was beautiful. It is encouraging and uplifting to be surrounded by like-minded believers. As I believe the apostle Paul is also trying to say.
Cathi, thank you for your beautiful words; they’re a comfort for us all... 🙏🏻
DeleteThank you, Robyn
DeleteCathi TY for mentioning Demas. Paul called him a "fellowlabourer" in Philemon 24 and even mentions him just tight together with the apostle Luke in Colossians 4:14 so there was a time when Demas was not recognizable (even) to Paul as being an unsaved false brother from the start. But the END of one's walk and life always tells about 1 John 2:19 and it always gets revealed if a person was truly saved or not. It's the end that tells like with Judas. Blessings to you!
DeleteAnnabel, I wasn't thinking about Demas' situation at the time, but the verse 2 Timothy 4:9 is only saying he left because he was in love with the world, as Paul went on to discuss others. I did know there were other passages where he was affirmed by Paul. Like the passage in 1 Corinthians 5 that talks about a guy in the church sleeping with his step-mother and they were accepting of it. Paul tells them he needs to be removed and so Satan has authority to what pummel him because of sin and the point was to getting him back to walking in the truth. I had read this was a grevious thing that the pagans around them would not have entertained doing. But, it makes me think of others saying to finish strong. And, the issue of judging a person's spiritual condition. In effect, really the lost sheep. They are still his sheep or why go looking for them ... And if they are lost, well where are they and what are they doing? Just thoughts.
DeleteCathi and Annabel, I believe we simply have to accept we cannot know the final condition of a brother or sister. We are given only 2 snapshots into the life of Demas - one where he is apparently saved and another where he is "in love with the world" and not walking in the faith. In the good old Southern Baptist Church I grew up in we called it backslidden. No, it is not a biblical term, but it does describe a positional place a Believer may find themselves in. I recognize the location, for I have been there. The reasons a Believer goes there are innumerable, but God is always bigger than the reasons and He brings the true Believer back. What makes it difficult for us, is we have no heart measure guide awarded to us so we do not know if the original profession of faith was of the heart or merely mental ascent. I think that's what Annabel is referring to. What I learned personally is we can never go so far that God will not find us. Yes, Cathi, the Shepherd always finds that lost sheep - he did it for me in the most miraculous way possible. It was done in such a manner I could never doubt His love for me and His awareness of where I was and what He would do to bring me home. If we could blow it - it wouldn't be Christ Finished Work on the Cross. Now, we can get to Sanctification - that's a lifetime process and those who don't cooperate with Holy Spirit in this process will find themselves in Heaven at the BEMA Saved, as if by fire. All or most of their works will be burned up, because they were done with the wrong motivation - a wrong heart - and thus they will come out with nothing but wood, hay and stubble and it will burn. Their reward will be little. I don't believe anyone will come out with no reward, just because of the mercy of the Father, Jesus will find something they've done rightly to praise. But, be aware, that's me reading into the event with the heart of the Father in mind, for there is nothing in Scripture that I'm aware of to support that notion. Blessings - Sherry
DeleteWell, Sherry I was all ready to say really there is at least one reward ... Alas I have been the bsckslidden person and away from God and well, mostly my whole life. I will stop as I's end up writing a book.
DeleteThanks for your love of the great shepherd!
Sherry, joining you there, I see the topic of salvation the same way.
Delete"Yes, Cathi, the Shepherd always finds that lost sheep - he did it for me in the most miraculous way possible. It was done in such a manner I could never doubt His love for me and His awareness of where I was and what He would do to bring me home. If we could blow it - it wouldn't be Christ Finished Work on the Cross."
Amen! And how awesome!
Cathi, I'm joining you too LOL, "Welcome to the backslidden club"! Okay, that's something I'm not happy about concerning myself, but it's always *refreshing* to my heart to experience that I'm not alone! I don't like the term "blackslidden" either, there's a judgmental, condemning edge to it. What's happening is that people are giving into their flesh because of our sin nature, it is sad and none of us are happy about it. That's why we need a Savior and we could mature through sanctification with the help of the Holy Spirit but each individual believer's walk is different with the Lord and we'll never be "good enough" while in this flesh but our Savior is good enough (this is indeed the good news! :--).
DeleteLol, Nora I agree with you! And, I like what you said about Howe we could mature in sanctification with the help of the Holy Spirit but, each person's individual walk is different. I had a friend say that to me once when I was rather not to happy about my life course ... blaming myself, which is true. I remember looking at her and just not getting how she could say this. I don't think I really ever will.
DeleteYet, somehow seeing you write this softens my heart a bit.
One last thought on my understanding of the Baptist term "Backslidden". In my experience when I heard that term used, they referred to someone who was in their human understanding, genuinely saved and a Brother or Sister in the faith, but their fleshly actions were not currently lining up with their confession of Faith. It wasn't used of someone who committed a sin, but of one who was "out of fellowship" at the time and off living in the world. Not raping, robbing and pillaging, but living for self and not behaving in a way the scripture tells us we should. I understand it to me a real Brother or Sister, not someone who has made mental ascent and not melded their heart with Jesus. Bear in mind, in the denominational setting, we hear many terms used which are not scriptural yet they are descriptive of what that particular group understands about a thing. The trick is to know how that group thinks without the guidance of scripture - therein lies the problem. But, I still find myself from force of habit going back to some of the old descriptive terms because they make sense to me, even though they don't really convey very well. Blessings - Sherry
DeleteI guess I am saying to hang in there, Brian along with all of us too! To not turn aside and be in the world. But, stand firm, press on ... occupying till He comes as you wait, watch and are on alert. It will happen in a twinkling of an eye.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the fullness of the Gentiles will be completed on a Jewish feast day or coincide somehow.
I just heard Carl Gallups talk on going ahead, pay your bills ... cut the grass ....
Robyn, did you read a recent book of his where he talked about Genesis 6, "Gods & Thrones"? You mentioned him on the last post, I think.
We encourage one another as we see the day approaching.
Hebrews 10:23-25. Sometimes, this is hard to find in others, within a church, fellow believers, family members etc to even bring up the subject. But, we also are an assembly of believers and this is also before our eyes.
Cathi, no I haven’t read that book, but just now ordered it! The reviews relate it to the works of Horn, Gilbert, and Heiser, all of whose works I have read, so I know I’ll enjoy it; thank you for recommending it to me. If you haven’t heard him on You Tube talk about the third temple, I highly recommend it— very thought provoking. The more I study and learn, the more I realize just how LITTLE we may TRULY know and understand.
DeleteI've read it and it's a terrific read. I surely don't agree with him on the timing of the Rapture, but that's neither here nor there. He has literally taken on the Nephilim and so many things the church simply won't address and he's done so soundly without much of the drama that puts some off with others. He has definitely gone where angels fear to tread and right where I prefer to live! You'll love it! Blessings - Sherry
DeleteOh, good, Sherry... Can’t wait to dig in to it. I discovered the truth about the “sons of God” of Genesis 6 several years ago and realized we’d all been told a lie of tradition in the churches all these years. I know I’ll enjoy this new book, as from what I can tell, Carl Gallup isn’t afraid to rock the boat of tradition if his research leads elsewhere. Thank you for your review of the book, and God bless you, dear sister. 🙏🏻
DeleteSister Sherry whats the name of the book and whats their YT channle name ? Thank you in advance !
DeleteJeramiah, I assume you're asking about the book Robyn referred to. The name of that one is Gods and Thrones and his YouTube Channel is Carl Gallups. If you were thinking of Mike Heiser, one of my favorite books of his that will absolutely teach you amazing things is The Unseen Realm. For all who have not read it, it is one of my treasured possessions. Mike is an academic, a Hebrew and Greek scholar, who teaches Old Testament at seminaries. He also does a Podcast called The Naked Bible and the episodes are archived, NakedBiblePodcast.com. Absolutely stunning what you will learn about the Old Testament and the culture of the Hebrews and others of the day from this man. Again, forget him when it comes to prophecy. Forget him when it comes to the Rev 12 sign, he's no help.
DeleteOne thing I learned from him which I found fascinating and appalling is the divide between the academic community of religious scholarship and the pastors and lay people. There seems to be some invisible divide. The scholars write for the scholars - except Mike - that's his calling. Once the Pastors leave seminary, they want to be done (most of them, certainly not all) with academia and don't want to be bothered with learning new information or the rigors of vetting their opinions. Thus, we hear things taught as absolute fact in the pulpit the academic world believes is just nuts. I was astonished to learn about this. Enough rambling from me today. Blessings - Sherry
Hello brothers and sisters here is a post I have copied from facebook - hope this brother in Christ doesn't mind me reposting it - for this is my humble opinion also OR Pentecost . Since it is sort of becoming more obvious as time goes by that the rapture of the church seems to have nothing to do with a feast day as someone stated above. But I do not believe it will be just any given day, our G-d does not work that way , he always has specific days for everything he does and I believe the rapture will be no different.
ReplyDeleteThe Revelation 12 sign was back on 9/23 and if it were a symbol of the birth of the Church, then that would imply that it would be a countdown. Since a healthy pregnancy can be between 38 and 42 weeks (I'd go with 40 just because of the consistency of that number in the Bible), then that would put the Rapture at one of the following dates:
38 Weeks: 16 June 2018
39 Weeks: 23 June 2018
40 Weeks: 30 June 2018
41 Weeks: 7 July 2018
42 Weeks: 14 July 2018
Of note, Mahmoud Abbas, Mohammed bin Salman, and President Trump all have stated the desire for the Middle East Peace Plan to be announced by this July.
MARANATHA Donna N
The way things are going on at the Middle-East, I think a big regional war might break out soon, possibly before this summer. If that happens, every near-time plan to introduce that peace plan will be probably scrapped.
DeleteIt is also possible that this future ME war will pull in major world powers even more than right now.
DeleteOf course I could be wrong in these assumptions but these things can happen. Thinking about the prophecy of the destruction of Damascus in Jeremiah 49 and its description how the Lord rebukes and chase away the many nations that roar like the seas there.
DeleteAccording to Brother Sean (at the Eschatology Today blog) there's a showdown coming between Iran(&Co.) and the very nations which are working on this peace plan (USA&Israel&Saudi-Arabia plus other Gulf States). Only the Lord knows what the future holds though and when this showdown will happen if it will really happen.
DeleteHey guys. Just watching news report on tv about an another active shooting at YouTube HQ in San Bruno, CA of all places. Everyday it’s something, but
Deletesuch wonderful thoughts and encouragement above from you all!
Brother Todd @It is Finished did a message today that I believe many can relate to. He spoke of being at the edge of a sea we cannot cross on our own and being hard pressed from all sides. We are gonna get across though and it will be in the nick of time for sure.
As he said, there is One on the other side who will make the impossible happen and there will be that one moment in time-just a twinkling is all it will take-and Deliverance will be our instant delight!
Right now, my own knees feel weak as I pray for strong faith and good courage, but I will just sit down at His feet for awhile and look up
for the necessary strength I know will come. We are still in the midst of Passover week:-)
Maranatha Brothers and Sisters!
I had chills about our still being in Passover week when you wrote this ... Mostly, I think because I find it hard to believe ... I can see myself feeling cold .... And, back to worrying about things in this life ... As, kind of like I was trying to say to Brian M above as in applying this to other issues too, yes?
DeleteI heard that it was a woman shooter at You Tube and she is injured and I think four others.
DeleteCorrection. The woman shooter is no longer living.
DeleteNope. The woman shooter killed herself. 3-4 others injured at this time.
DeleteHey Cathi. I know...it’s easy to get distracted with this or that and let
Deleteourselves slip away from the watch for a bit, but something will happen to turn us right back to praying again and knowing where our Hope is.
The world has nothing to offer but bad news everyday all day and yet they mock us and hate US for encouraging one another with the love of our Lord and His Promise to us. Their lives are like insane yo-yos while the children of God move in One
Steadfast direction toward the Way, the Truth and the Life. And when we do pause or come up a bit lame, the family is there to poke and prod us into moving forward with the flock again. That fresh green Spring grass by the river of Living Water awaits us and the smell only gets sweeter and crisper by the moment.
Love you all and feeling the nearness
of our Shepherd:-)
Amen sister Shieka B I feel the same way and I know when the time comes He will carry us to the other side amen amen amen amen! In our weakness he is our strength ! I too seen the shooting in cali on tv as evil is running like a wild man killings daily getting bolder and bolder! Technology is growing I went by walmart earlier today and they have installed these new hige machines and lockers at the front of the stores that make where you come in and dont have to go through the store looking for anything you go to the machine type in a new tv or food or cloths pick what you want and wallah its there crazy right! Time is so short maranatha !
DeleteSister sheila B your right the smell of that green grass on the other side mmmm tge nearness is so so close I can't wait I get goose bumps thinking about it ! Amen
DeleteThat is crazy, Jeramiah. Haven’t seen that one yet but it’s definitely all going that way.
DeleteI don’t know if you ever check out those Google Doodles things but the one from today was pure wicked.
It was like the devil putting a direct message in God’s face.A very creepy Maya Angelou poem about being made to eat dust and rising back up. Chilling.
I believe he’s here (at least in spirit) and ready to roll with a vengeance. I know we can’t be here much longer at all.
I usually see something neat in the Bing Screensavers as well. Yesterday it was called 7 Magic Mountains. It was a compilation of 33 boulders painted in bright
primary colors and stacked in columns
like altars in stark contrast to the brown desert in the middle of Jean Dry Lake, NV.
Made me think of how the followers of Jesus live in such stark contrast to this world that is for us a dry and empty desert.
Then today it was a beautiful scene called Piano Grande in Italy. A tiny little village called Castelluccio that is famous for its crop of prized lentils. This was the main ingredient that allowed Jacob to obtain the hungry Esau’s birthright in exchange for a piece of bread and bowl of lentil pottage. So many today are hungrily exchanging their eternal salvation for the temporary pittances of this dying world. It makes you realize just what a wonderful gift we’ve been given to know the True Bread of Life. And just knowing He will keep us all fed with Grace and Mercy until He comes will keep us all going in the right direction:-)
Blessings, Brother!
with the US making a firm commitment to bring home the troops (under the guise of 'improving border security'), I wonder if its an indication that Trump is about to unleash heck on Iran and doesn't want his troops in Syria to be in the firing line.
DeleteThank you for sharing that sister Sheila I will definately look those up that very interesting !
DeleteThanks Sheila for your encouraging words. It is comforting to remember that we move steadfastly in one direction toward The Way, The Truth, and The Life!
DeleteAnd, the gift of knowing the Truth as He feeds us with grace and mercy because He is the Bread of Life.
He keeps us, He is the Author and Finisher of our lives. Hebrews 12:2. And, it is our looking to Him, not us looking at ourselves.
Amen Sheila the days seem to be short however filled with so many challenges and the changes that are occurring in the world. I continue to pray that God will keep my mind on his word and not what's going on around about I appreciate what you and God's Warrior mentioned as to not having the encouragement that's needed and having some mocking around us because of the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ I'm reminded of the verse that says many are the afflictions of the righteous but God will deliver them out of them all. Today again I reminded the Lord that we are waiting patiently and that we are wondering I thought the Lord might want to hear it from another one of his children Lord bless you all Maranatha
ReplyDeleteOK so the YouTube shooting lastly was a significant orchestrated event again (please note what #On Point Preparedness and #Hacking the Headlines have to say about this!) - my immediate thoughts on this are: There's a shelf life even to Matthew 10:25-27 as we could go on and on by observing the wicked but there has to be a time limit to reveal their wickedness here on earth too. I often ask the LORD like Habakkuk did: 'So what else am I supposed to learn about this? That the wicked are wicked and will remain wicked? Is there anything I haven't learned so far then about them? So why do we have to watch this just repeatedly now?' because I just hate it if someone tries to teach me things I have long time understood from the start. I know there is a shelf life to these revelations too and MUST be. The NWO false flag YouTube shooting is now another huge sign we will depart soon. God did let us use the internet to reveal much of wickedness and conspiracy to us (Psalm 2) and to give our comments on them; but now the time has come that the rest of revelation might be stored for earthly judgement and the white throne trial. MARANATHA, we fly soon!
ReplyDeleteDear sister Alla, much appreciated! :) I just found another proof of this shooting being a false flag orchestrated precisely according to the Leftist agenda now look who this shooter was an IRANIAN MODEL-LIKE FEMALE ACTIVIST YOUTUBER oh c'mon how many of these agenda attributes do you still need? This is so much ridiculous, really. Oh and she committed "suicide" in the end? Really? Was anyone watching livestream then to believe that? LOL!! Everybody not completely dumbing-down and deluded must have now at least noticed the crap of an NWO storybook behind... MARANATHA!
DeleteI did find it strange the women was iranian and even the news said she was makimg money doing her youtube channle but had complained about the yt strikes or whatever cencorship but killing rampage really doesnt add up !!!
DeleteThank you Annabel for this stuff! And the Scripture about it! It's really amazing! We are at the door! And the other events and the news! Words fail me! Maranatha!
DeleteAnnabel, you are right on. Isn't it amazing these "shooters" are almost always either suicides or killed by the police. How perfectly convenient. The others are so thoroughly screwed up in their brain you'll never get decent information from them. It reeks of CIA Mockingbird - MKUltra control. Look at how many you can find when you start doing background have been somehow connected to the "Injustice system" - They are programmed. We now learn the "survivors" of Parkland who have been touted by MSM and who want gun control were either not at the school that day or nowhere near the building where the event occurred. The ones who were actually in the building are not allowed to participate in any of the "forums" or appear on MSM. I just learned yesterday the young lady who was interviewed right after the shooting and repeated very clearly there were multiple shooters is now missing. Her Mother and Father and 3 siblings were killed in a bizarre car crash in California. The car appears to have just been driven off the side of a cliff into the ocean - no skid marks, no appearance of evasion - just drove it off the cliff. How many survivors of Las Vegas have now either suicided or mysteriously died? I lost count after 12. The #DeepState here in America is desperate and I suspect globally and they have to pull out all the stops now and get their war on or they will be finished. We know they won't be finished until Christ comes so that means We Fly Soon! Blessings - Sherry
DeleteGood Morning Family. To chime in on the thread about the lunacy of the litany of evidence of the Fall being ever brandished about, to what end? My thoughts are brought back to where I was in my spirit last evening in my circulations around the web and that is right back to the double-mindedness we often find ourselves within. On one hand there is the timid, still-sore-from-last-time part of me that says lets see what the tide brings in this cycle and simply watch and pray but not hope too much.
DeleteThen there is all the mounting HUGE evidence of many, many, many things building, being staged now, being staged for later, comments made by key players on the world stage, the evidence of the Wind of the Spirit on the Move and I am reminded that when the Moment arrives it will be at a time without any PRECURSOR disruption. Nothing comes first which disrupts the SYSTEM in place when it Happens (Lk 17:27, Matt 24:38). It is a common theme now that WHEN we go up a lot of other stuff comes down, but not before.
Annabel you mention Pastor JD's favorite term 'shelf life' and there are so many aspects of this intertwined choreography, with each one having its own shelf life, as well as the entire lattice becoming so complex that it will collapse of its own weight soon and SOMETHING will go BOOM and violate the verses cited.
So, my take away and encouragement must be this: In the face of sound teaching and insights pushing the likely 'date' ever back, and while one purpose of the display seems to have been accomplished, as noted above, still the escalating working of Lawlessness continues, and the worse it gets, and the closer to the edge of the cliff the entire thing is forced, the sooner we FLY, Maranatha!
Jeramiah I somehow cannot press the "reply" button above but I just want to tell you that an IRANIAN WOMAN (!) used in the YT shooting makes perfect sense to me: please consider all the huge political dimension behind regarding a possible war and the overthrowing of the nuclear deal with IRAN by the US and the censorship of internet / martial law implementation in general such as the role of women in Iran... Last but not least, Iran is the only country left (besides North Korea which now seems to "soften" - Oh so suddenly indeed after 60+ years?? LOL!) without a central Rothschild bank which must be yet installed before the whole antichrist mark of the beast system can go viral. This is so much of a set up indeed. Just so obvious if you have once grasped what the whole satanic plot is about... Blessings to you, love you brother! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you sister !!! Blessings sister Annabel
DeleteSister Sherry, you’ve sure done your homework! You’ve laid it all out as to the many unexplained deaths after each of these events— all of which could possibly tell the truth of each event. Also, I seem to remember a reporter in California a few years ago who was ready to spill the beans, and
ReplyDeletealso had a very mysterious deadly car accident. Satan and his minions are very hard at work, as they know the time is short— praise God! 🙏🏻
Robyn- Sherry- Annabel , as I remember from reading a couple months back the guy that does the daily crow had a huge write -up on that Las Vegas massacre it was a real eye opener and very telling indeed as to just how evil-sinister-sick this world has become. I'm sure y'all read it but if U didn't its still worth taking a look at, just didn't realize the death count was up to 12 now of the survivor witnesses . Oh LORD how much longer ???
DeleteMARANATHA DONNA
Will look for it, Donna, and thanks!
DeleteThe thing which is most disconcerting about these false flags (that doesn't mean people didn't die, it means it was a set-up by the evil Elite for a purpose to achieve a nefarious end), is the controllers who put these things into motion seem to have lost most of their concern about being good at it, or really concealing it. For those of us who are awake (been red pilled is my favorite phrase) we can see it a mile away. Here's my rationale - they know we know and they can't really hide it from us anymore so they only do enough to keep the programming intact for the ignorant masses who still live in the matrix. There is literal video-tape and eye witness accounts of multiple shooters in different locations in Vegas. ALL, not some, BUT ALL of these incidents in the US of mass shootings which bear the marks of false flags occur while there is a "drill" going on - it makes it easier for the assets to move in and out undetected. It goes all the way back to Sandy Hook. You can look up numerous videos showing you the actual, physical faces of Crisis Actors at the various shootings. They are there for the media to interview to get the "correct" story line out to the masses. They use the same crisis actors in numerous shootings. You can see them with your own eyes in the videos - it's not conjecture. You can look for the ads they place for Crisis Actors on CraigsList before an event. Now we know to watch for the and you know an event is coming down, before they were found after the fact. Bottom Line - we do not have a clue how evil these beings are and to what lengths they will go. The Georgia Guidestones tell us what their end goal is as far as population reduction. It can be soul crushing if did not know the Father knows all this, has known it from the beginning and has it all in hand. We're just now seeing it - but the deception is huge and it is as black as Satan's heart. Blessings - Sherry
