Spring is the time of birth!
What is the Rev12 Sign all about... That is a question that has been asked for quite a few years now for many of us. That is a question that our sister from Speaking Truth in Love has been asking for considerably less time... but I really believe God is giving her some great insights that appear so obvious to those with fresh eyes. Her video is below (its short, only 11 minutes), and this is something she said that really jumped out at me. Paraphrasing here with some additions on my part:
But we are now so close to the rapture, we are so close to being born. The baby is coming, the contractions are closer and closer together. Israel is near war, the woman is feeling the transition... The happened a staggering 556 days ago. It sure seems like very soon we could finally be CAUGHT UP! After all, springtime is God's preferred time for BIRTHS! (more on that below)
Anyway, watch her video and let us know your thoughts on all this: (11 minutes)
Secondly, Jeová shared a post in the previous thread linking the rapture to springtime. It was originally put up by T.W. Tramm and I just think it is awesome. Thank you so much Jeová for sharing, and for all of you who provide such awesome links and content each day. God Bless you all... Keep looking up!! Here is what Jeová shared:
Dear family, sharing interesting spring aspects (from T.W. Tramm - FB PAGE)
SCRIPTURE likens the raising of the dead at the Rapture to a “birth”:
“Your dead will live, LORD; their bodies will rise—let those who dwell in the dust wake up and shout for joy—your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will *give birth* to her dead. Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by. See, the LORD is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the bloodshed on it; the earth will conceal its slain no longer” (Isa. 26:19-21).
God’s favored time for birth is the spring.
Spring is when—
• Animals are born (Job 39).
• Jacob, the father of Israel, was born.
• King David, Israel’s greatest ruler, was born.
• The Nation of Israel was born and later reborn (Circa 1500 BC and 1948).
• Enoch, a prophetic type of the Church, was born.
• The Church, or body of Christ, was born (Acts 2).
• According to some scholars, Jesus, the Head of the Church, was born.
One of God’s main attributes is that He is consistent and works to patterns:
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Heb. 13:8).
“What has been done will be done again” (Ecc. 1:9).
Seeing that spring is the Lord’s appointed time for birth, is it possible that the “birth” described in Isaiah 26, namely the resurrection/rapture of believers, could be a springtime event?
Absolutely!
Due to a one-of-a-kind convergence of prophetic timelines and circumstances, a spring Rapture seems more plausible than ever.
As of this spring—
• 70 years have passed since the “fig tree,” Israel, came to life and began putting forth leaves in 1948-49 (Matt. 24:32-35; Ps. 90:10; Jer. 29:10)
• 49 years have passed since the Jews began to rebuild Jerusalem in 1969 (Dan. 9:25).
• A Middle East peace plan dubbed the “deal of the century” is set to be unveiled (1 Thess. 5:3).
Additionally, all the signs Jesus said would precede His return—drought, famine, disease, threats of war, seismic activity, anti-Semitism, economic prosperity, spiritual blindness, and wickedness—are manifesting with greater frequency and intensity, like birth pains (Matt. 24).
God says He will not bring to the point of birth without giving delivery (Isa. 66:9).
The season of birthing is upon us.
Therefore, be ready!

2. Blue Letter Bible Commentary on the Rapture in Isaiah 26:19-21: “When is this time when God’s people are carried away, securely hidden, from a time of great indignation the Lord brings upon the earth? It can refer to the deliverance of the Jewish people from the fury of the Antichrist described in Rev 12:6 and 12:13-16. But it is more likely that it speaks of the refuge, the safety, the security of God’s people when they are caught up together with the Lord in the air (1Th 4:16-17) and escape the horrific indignation of the Lord that He pours out upon the world in the Great Tribulation (Mat 24:21-22, Rev_9:15-21), which will immediately precede the second coming of Jesus Christ (Mat 24:29-30). Seen this way, this is a powerful passage supporting the teaching of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture, which says that Jesus Christ will remove His people from this earth before the time of Great Tribulation coming upon the earth immediately before His ultimate return.” https://www.blueletterbible.org/Comm/guzik_david/StudyGuide2017-Isa/Isa-26.cfm
The Rev 12 Sign is God telling us that the Church is near it's full development (Romans 11:25) and ready to be caught up just before God returns his full redemptive attention to Israel (Micah 5:3). It was a sign in the sky, declaring (Psalm 19:1) for all to see that the church age is very near completion and the Body of Christ will soon be "born" via the rapture (Rev 12:5)!I am really starting to love her videos and her humble approach to these things. I think she is so right on this point....we must remember that the first part of the Rev12 Sign still has the baby inside the womb. The woman is in pain, she is very close to delivering that child, but that baby is still in there in that environment that he has always known since conception... just like how we are still here on earth in this environment since the Church began shortly after Christs death and resurrection!
But we are now so close to the rapture, we are so close to being born. The baby is coming, the contractions are closer and closer together. Israel is near war, the woman is feeling the transition... The happened a staggering 556 days ago. It sure seems like very soon we could finally be CAUGHT UP! After all, springtime is God's preferred time for BIRTHS! (more on that below)

YES , Solomon, song of. . . .\o/ springtime, Love*
ReplyDeleteAs we linger, here in this moment of Incredible Dynamic Holy Tension, Between The Father's Mercy, that none should perish, alongside Indescribable Passion To Be About The Wedding, the Moment Towards Which ALL HAS BEEN ORCHESTRATED THUS FAR, amen. What Spring would make *more* sense than this one? Please, do tell. Going further, should this Spring be Moed for us, surely it would be on the very last day, right? Of course not. Oh, Contraire. My understanding of The Father, and What He Has Told Us, leads me to picture that the while Father's Mercy May Warrant The Modicum Of Delay, once Spring arrives, should it be THIS Moed, my guess is a prophetically significant number of minutes passes before . . .
ReplyDeleteHmmm, now let's see, mmm, that would put us right about, mmmm, 4/6/19, oh yeah, Maranatha!
Why stop there? 4+6+1+9=20=2x10 double Witness of the Law alongside 10+19=29=2+9=11 Rebellion, or, rebellion while ABBA(1) Withdraws = 11+1=111? Just noodlin'
Deleteor, Double Witness of the Law Being Judgment Confirmed (20) alongside Rebellion (11) in the midst of Abba's Call (1) for (20)(11)(1). In light of the 111 Word recently I am working a connection here it seems. Not a stretch to say I am sniffing one in here somewhere.
DeleteThe great harvest awaits!
Deleteozark, oh it's even better. I am recalling a study from way back maybe last Summer, where I unpacked '20', specifically, in Scripture, vs. the quick 2x10, as above. In short, and I cannot recall the verse I harped upon but it speaks of the cup of iniquity being full, metaphorically, '20' being a measure, used in more than one place, of an item, 20xsomething, or an amount, 20 shekels of dung, which was used to typify flagrant AoD level of AC rebellion. In this recall, I am now seeing the '20' more as two sides of a COIN, as we usually end up with since that appeared in Kilauea digs, Maranatha!
Deleteozark, but wait, there's MORE! Sabine Vaming's comment, about 5 hours ago now, springboards off of your response to my question last thread. To note, that you were NOT mentioning that when CM was, well. Anyways:
DeleteREGARDING YOUR HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL VIEW | MOON AT RIBBON CUTTING POINT THIS WEEKEND
This weekend the new Moon will travel from the horizontal fish in Pisces to the vertical one. On April 6th the Moon (bride) will be at the left placed, upright fish reflecting the church portion (with heavenly promises, thus vertically placed) which red ribbon will one day be cut loose by Aries' foot stationed on that ribbon, while the Sun will be residing at the horizontally placed fish on the right (Israel portion with earthly promises).
See: https://theskylive.com/planetarium?obj=moon&date=2019-04-06&h=11&m=16#ra|2.6259634542672217|dec|17.204701722100225|fov|50
Jimboni, I'm noticing an extra "i" in your moniker.....is there a story behind it? :)
DeleteWow...I've watched 2 videos this morning that are focusing on the importance of Aries right now as they are trying to figure it out. @Gods Gifts and @L Lott. Ribbon cutting time? Surely hope so:-)
DeleteHi Mom...I had to go back and correct my blogger profile this morning. I don't know how it got changed, but I almost entered a mis-type when changing it back.
DeleteYeah, I had never set up any profile and when I went to Publish on this thread it asked me to add a name to my profile and I typo'd it, fixed now (I think), thanks!
DeleteOK, now I added a pic so the mystery clears (Miguel P can affirm its not an imposter). Maranatha!
DeleteNice pic, Brother, but you know what that means....you're done past the 200 mark;-)
DeleteJolly good pic Jimboni !!! you know that ini means, God in me*, amongst the Jamacian peoples mon'! as in the Jimboini thing above,....cool hey!
Deletep.s. the language of Father Gods mathematics is intricately amazing and it leaves me in Awe! You appear to onto something wonderful, hope so, God only knows - as we wonder as children of The Most High!!! in Awe of it all*,...wow wee
DeleteBrad I agree, getting a fresh perspective on the Revelation 12 Sign from someone who has more recently discovered it (like "speaking truth in love" YTC) is really encouraging! I'm also becoming a fan of her channel. I'll be curious to watch the follow-up video interview with her neighbor regarding the 6th seal. I'm still convinced that all the seals (and trumpets, and bowls) occur during the seven years after the rapture, but many teachers whom I really like and respect believe the seals have already been unfolding prior to the rapture and the 7 years (I believe Steve Cioccolanti used to teach this). I'd also like to see her research the case for the dragon sign having occurred last October with the Draconid Meteor Shower (which I believe is by far the best candidate for the dragon sign), and weigh that against everything else she's currently studying.
ReplyDeleteI'm also REALLY encouraged by Jeova's share regarding the springtime! I used to be pretty big on the whole Scottie Clarke "Feast of Trumpets" rapture, but I'm much more convinced now of a spring rapture (c'mon Passover!). Now let's see if I'm still saying that around September/October this year if we don't go up this spring lol (though I think we will!).
And Jimboini I'm liking 4/6 too! For instance the videos I've been seeing lately about Obama going to the Seat of Satan on 4/6 is eye-opening (thanks Tim Henderson!).
DeleteI'm with you Brad and Justin on Deborah's fresh passion as she digs in to her research and she is turning up some things that we missed along the way. Definitely been a blessing to me. And Justin, I feel the same way about everything you just said.
DeleteI had my first "impending disaster" dream last night. In the dream I was on a walking tour through Yellowstone with a group of people. The scenery was quite calm and beautiful with the rocky outcrops, those rainbow colored ponds and the trees and geysers. The group stopped at an overlook above one of those ponds ringed with all the different colors as the guide was pointing out the different features of the park. One thing I had noticed on the tour was that there had been no animals to be seen anywhere. Then I up and said point blank "This place is about to blow sky high and when it does, the whole world will be changed." They all just looked at me and started scoffing at such an idea when I woke up. I haven't looked at anything on Yellowstone in a long time, so why that now, I dunno--just knew in the dream my purpose for being there was to warn them beforehand because we wouldn't be here when that happens.
Also interesting, I saw on the Bing Art that they are celebrating International Dark-Sky Week to bring attention to artificial light pollution and it's ill effects. The idea is for everyone to turn off the lights--which reminds me of all the EMP and days of darkness talk. Hmmm....this just keeps getting stranger by the day. The event of the Rapture according to some could cause just such a blackout effect. Blessings and Looking UP!
Shelia, very powerful dream.
DeleteAmerica is set up for destruction without any means of man made weapons--Yellowstone (and other volcanoes) and powerful fault lines. If Yellowstone did erupt I believe it might be possible the explosion would activate every fault line, creating a chain effect? How many nuclear power plants would go? Roadways shut down. Power gone. Stores empty. Hospitals and staff overrun. Medicine drained. Water gone. People demanding the government to save them. How many dead? Martial law declared. Riots. Looters. Gun confiscation...the list is endless.
ADONAI, in my humble opinion, allowed America to be formed on a land that is very destructive as a punishment yet to arrive--for a country that once was faithful but is now a dog in its own vomit and a pig in its own mire.
Revelation Ch 6: 14 The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.
Could this be a global earthquake of unimaginable magnitude? I believe so. And could this set off Yellowstone? Possible? Could this also be the period of the 'Snatching Away' mentioned in Revelation Ch 12? Possible?
In my humble opinion the chaos that will follow after the 'Snatching Away' will be so hectic that it might be a while before the world as a whole realizes the truth, and by then who knows? Will people think their missing loved ones is buried in earthquake rubble? Drowned in a tsunami, flood...killed in a fire? Who knows? But according to Revelation Ch 16 the evil men of the earth will know it was ADONAI and will hide from HIS FACE. Afterward will they try, due their evil, and create a lie to deceive the masses? Possible? The enemy will be cast down onto the earth so Woe to those on the earth.
However our Glory is YESHUA and in knowing that we will be with HIM!
Just a few thoughts. Shalom and blessings.

DeleteMy name is showing as Paul. This is Paul Flanagan making the comment to Shelia. Shalom.
DeleteHey Paul. TY for your input. I just got totally washed over with those Holy Spirit chills as I read your comments, Brother. Feels like confirmation to that warning. BTW, did your profile "get" changed on you, too? As I said to Mom above, I had to go in and correct mine this morning. It had put an old email address up as my profile. Shalom and blessings to you as well:-)
DeleteHey Sheila, my profile was changed? Not sure why? I should have put Paul F as my new profile name but I put Paul instead.
DeleteI remember my wife had a dream--five years ago or near that time--about new york (which I personally believe is babylon). In the dream the city was totally destroyed and people were trying to reach new jersey. There were dead bodies everywhere. It looked like a nuclear bomb had destroyed the city.
I remember having a dream where I was standing on a remote beach and watching a nuclear bomb go off in the distance...if I remember right the entire world shook? I've also recently dreamed of a tsunami striking Los Angeles and the baby in the womb dream. I had a dream of being shown how the Nile was formed and in the same night a dream about Moshe and Aaron lying down to forgive sin...which took a while? I had a few 'Rapture Dreams' which were very amazing (my favorite dreams) dreams about two moons or more...a dream many years ago about a meteor or asteroid hitting the Atlantic ocean and causing a tsunami.. Many of these dreams were over the course of many years, by the way, not just in the last couple of years. I do pay attention to dreams when you know they are from ADONAI, Glory be to HIS HOLY NAME!
I'm personally watching for the 'Snatching Away' to happen...maybe this year? I pray so. I believe September 23 2017 could have been the Revelation Ch 12 sign...very possible. With that said how far along are we now? And as a Jewish man I connect all matters to Israel...new moon...full moon...Feast Days. I also pay very close attention to where the moon and sun are located in the constellations for each constellation tells the story of YESHUA. Right now the sun is in Pisces (the two fish) and the new moon will take place in Pisces--Pisces, to me, represent the physical and the spiritual as well as many other factors...but it's the psychical and the spiritual that grabs me the most. Will the two fish, at the time of the 'Snatching Away' become separated...the Physical fleeing to the desert and the Spiritual being taken to the FATHER'S THROWN? The sea monster has the two Fish chained...we also have to be pay attention to the three deacons of each constellation. A great deal of information that I can't place into a comment.
A few personal thoughts. Shalom and blessings, sister.
Paul, thank you for sharing your thoughts. So interesting and confirming as well. Jimboni's comment above in re to Pisces ties in with that last part. When I was first saved in 1997 (the year of the Hale-Bopp comet which I remember seeing everyday for months) I had a lot of confirmed dreams from our Lord over the next 10 or so years as I was learning the Scriptures and working ministries, etc., but then went for a good while without any real specificity in that area until the last couple of years when He started giving them again, but this was the first specific "disaster warning" like this. I usually get cryptic words or pictures I have to study out, or seek some help on. Just before the 8/21/17 Solar Eclipse I also had a two moons dream w/ two 7's and a white horse/rider standing over something I couldn't clearly see.
DeleteI studied the Gospel in the stars years ago via J.R.R. Church and was so amazed and Paul Dawson @Revelationhapter12dotcom did a great video on the importance of the Decans last year.
I'm not Jewish ofc, but I know how important Israel is to our Lord as well as to all of us. From the get go, He implanted in my spirit a natural love, respect and gratitude for them and His Desire for them. They are always a part of my daily prayers.The enemy is working so hard to villify us all to one another right now and cause as much division, anger, fear, strife and confusion as demonically possible and so many who should know better are willingly aiding and abetting him. This was really starting to get to me which is why I believe He gave me the word about "not confusing the wide point of view with the narrow field of vision". Keeping Yeshua as the focus of our frame is what will "keep" us on the right path--not only with Him, but with one another.
I believe we are only a breath away from going Home as we watch all of the "convergences" we've already seen NOW CONVERGING! Amen and Hallelujah!
Prayers and Blessing for you and yours, dear Brother until, ALL GLORY TO HIS HOLY NAME, we meet in the air:-)
Shelia and Paul,
DeleteI had two interesting dreams this week as well. One- I was standing on a beach somewhere when I looked up and there was some kind of missile heading straight towards the beach. Then another smaller missile from the beach headed toward the larger one over the ocean. The small missile hit the larger missile and they both kind of dissembled and fell into the ocean with no explosion.
The second dream, I was in some building in a large city when an earthquake hit. All I can remember is that I knew it was an earthquake and that I needed to get out of the city. Other people were around me and they were confused, but I kept saying, we have to get out.
I am not sure what they mean or if they mean anything, but those were my two dreams.
Aimee
Aimee, I believe so many are getting these type of dreams/visions to heighten our awareness of what's coming and how horrific it's really going to be to strengthen our prayers for the lost or lukewarm and our witness to them. Sharing the dreams and the warnings as best we can with anyone we can is all I know to do with them beforehand. If we can't make them listen now, then perhaps they'll understand in time to call upon His Name and believe in Him for their Salvation.. Blessings, Sister and give that sweet bird a little "peck" on the cheek.:-)
DeleteAimee, thank you sharing your dreams. All dreams, when given from ADONAI, are extremely vital and should be held very close to the heart. I'm not sure how to share dreams with anyone but find it very helpful to read about other brothers and sisters sharing their dreams.
DeleteShalom and blessings.
Good points Paul and Sheila!
DeleteSheila-My sweet Zorro got a nice “peck” on the cheek. He is such a sweet bird! ❤️
Thanks for the new Article Brad, I wonder how many more articles to go , between now and the rapture. It sure feels like we are on the home stretch!!
ReplyDeleteQuestion. How does all this fit with the time line written in Luke 1:23-26 ?
ReplyDelete"When his (Zechariah) time of service was completed, he returned home. After this his wife became pregnant and for 5 months remained in seclusion. 'The Lord has done this for me', she said. 'In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people'. In the 6th month, Goo sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgins name was Mary."
Love this site and the content is very provoking to keep me studying and praying!

Hello everyone, sad news. Copied from Facebook
ReplyDelete"Today my Aunt lost her soul mate. My Uncle Ed’s kids lost their dad. My mom (Janis Richardson��) lost her brother n law. I lost my Uncle. My kids lost their Great Uncle. My Uncle Ed was one of those men that put his lady on a pedi stole which was exactly where my aunt should be and where she will stay. Ed was an amazing business man but even a more amazing Father, husband, brother n law, Uncle, and Great Uncle. I was blessed to take my kids on an amazing adventure this past summer to meet their Great Uncle Ed and Great Aunt Sherry Driskell Griffin and boy did my kids have fun. My Uncle Ed told me this summer that he was always enamored by his little Nieces crooked smile and it made me so happy that he recalled that about me even though we had been so far away from one another for so many years. We will all miss my Uncle but God had bigger things for him to accomplish. My heart hurts for my Aunt as she has been so dedicated to her love for so long. Please say a prayer for my family but most of all for my Aunt as she needs to be lifted high and comforted by her lord and savior as she coops with the physical loss of her sole mate. Aunt Sherrry we love you so much. ❤️ "
Ally, TY for letting us know. Many of us have been so concerned about our Sister Sherry and her husband Ed. I will be lifting her up in prayer for our Father to give her all the strength she needs as Ed has gone on a bit ahead of her to meet Him. Sherry is such a blessing to the Body of Christ and we've missed her so much, but per that dream the Lord gave me, I knew she'd gone through a door of some kind that for the moment could not include us, but that she was surely in The Father's Hands. The Grace and Love of Jesus Christ be upon Sherry and all of her loved ones as they endure this temporary separation from their beloved Ed. Amen.
DeletePraying for Sherry and her family.
DeleteWe love you, Aunt Sherry. Praying for you.
DeletePraying for Sherry's family! May the ETERNAL CONSOLATOR comfort them with heavenly blessings!
DeleteI am so sorry to hear about your loss Sherry. I imagine this will be only a very brief period that you will be apart from your husband. He is probably up there now picking out your mansion, knowing exactly what sort you would like. Be blessed sister.
DeleteAmen, deep spirit comfort Sherry to you and yours all ~shalom~ i'm feeling for you, In Christ Jesus all things shall become new again, rest assured. Much Love (as Annabel says) to you sweet sister* always. Be Well
DeleteFor Sherry, whose words have been a comfort at this site on numerous occasions, I pray for the comfort of our Father's words to surround you and give you peace. May His love fill your heart to overflowing during the coming days. Psalm 116 in the KJV is a refuge in times of sorrow.
DeleteSherry, I was searching for a verse and came along the website "www.ibelieve.com" and this poem was included in the article. I thought you would like it:
DeleteA poem quoted by Elisabeth Elliot
Do The Next Thing
"At an old English parsonage down by the sea,
there came in the twilight a message to me.
Its quaint Saxon legend deeply engraven
that, as it seems to me, teaching from heaven.
And all through the hours the quiet words ring,
like a low inspiration, 'Do the next thing.'
Many a questioning, many a fear,
many a doubt hath its quieting here.
Moment by moment, let down from heaven,
time, opportunity, guidance are given.
Fear not tomorrow, child of the King,
trust that with Jesus, do the next thing.
Do it immediately, do it with prayer,
do it reliantly, casting all care.
Do it with reverence, tracing His hand,
who placed it before thee with earnest command.
Stayed on omnipotence, safe 'neath His wing,
leave all resultings, do the next thing.
Looking to Jesus, ever serener,
working or suffering be thy demeanor,
in His dear presence, the rest of His calm,
the light of His countenance, be thy psalm.
Do the next thing."
Cathi, that's a really beautiful poem ^^
DeleteSherry, my heart and my prayers go out to you dear sister in Christ. May you tangibly feel the Lord's love and peace covering you. Blessings.
Delete"The Spirit of the LORD GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified." Isaiah 61:1-3
Hello all,
DeleteJust wanted to let you know that I sent Sherry message on behalf of us all... letting her know that we are feeling for here and there for anything she needs... Most of all, letting her know that we LOVE her and are praying for her and her family. I will let you know if I hear back, in the meantime please continue to pray for comfort and grace to flow throughout her entire family. Hopefully soon, very soon Sherry and her beloved Ed will be reunited at the feet on Christ in our new resurrection bodies, knowing that for all time we will be with Him and each other by His loving grace. Thank you Ally for letting us know. If you see this... WE LOVE YOU SHERRY.
Thank you Brad, and thank you Ally for informing us of the news. Much love and prayers for Sherry!
DeleteAmen, surely, Holy Hugs
DeleteSherry, our hearts have been with you during your absence and even moreso now in your grieving time. I know you have all the resources to recover, but it's still tough, even knowing the time of separation is bound to be short. May Yahweh's Light shine upon you and give you Peace.
Deleteamen to that Cy, we are praying daily Sherry. It hurts,...God be with you*
DeleteSherry. Our heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. The prayers from my wife Kim and I will continue for you as our beloved Savior wraps His arms of comfort around you. John
DeleteThank you and Hello to my Rev12 Family. Yes, Ed has gone on to be with Jesus. I must admit I'm a bit aggravated he got to see Him before me, but I'll get over it. I've missed you all, but he needed me more the last few months. In retrospect, I realize he'd been in Congestive Heart Failure for over a year, but I refused to see it. He had a hip replacement in December, then an Open Heart Triple Bypass on the 15th of February, then went into "Recognized" Congestive Heart Failure, the Closure failed because the Breast Bone wouldn't hold the wire and he developed two infections, all of which led to a massive heart attack just before we were "coming home" last Monday. Now I understand when he said he was going home, he didn't mean to Argyle. Ryan, I remembered for myself the song the Lord commended to me for you . . . and for me. Fool's Gold - they're only on loan to us and we aren't allowed to hold on too tightly for they belong to Him! Thank you all for your love and prayers. Blessings and I pray we meet the vanguard accompanying Jesus in the Clouds very soon . . for Ed will surely be there! Blessings and Love - Sherry

TITLE: The Midnight Hour of Passover | Passover Astronomy (40 mins)
TY Jordan. Going there right now. Blessings, Brother:-)
DeleteIt's a good one! Is midnight on April 19/20 (Jerusalem time) the hour we go up? I will be on highest watch then (5:00 EST, local time for me)!
DeleteAt the school I teach at, we will have that entire week off for break (April 15-19). I'm very thankful for this, and praying about what I can be doing that week to get others prepared for the rapture, whether it will be on 4/19 or any other soon-coming date.
Amen. I was inspired by this newest video by Paul. What really stuck out to me was John 13:1 and Hosea 11:1 + Matthew 2:15. Before the Passover, Jesus knew the "hour" (cf. Rev. 3:3) had come to depart from this world. And the Hosea/Matthew connection also relates to the Passover, because out of Egypt---God calls out His Son (Rev. 12:5 anyone???)!
DeleteObserving the great rapture of Elijah, still in the dispensation of the Law, we have marked prophecy of the events of the last days. In Elias we have the model of readiness, since he was the only man who, in advance, knew of his rapture (“And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth–el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.”- 2 Kings 2:3 KJV). He knew the fact, and probably the date that would happen, and shared this information with others who accompanied him.
DeleteOn that day, the "last day" he departed from Gilgal (circle - COMMUNION) and, step by step, he (like Enoch) walked with God: "the Lord sent me to Bethel" - House of God; "The Lord has sent me to Jericho" - a kind of the world; "The Lord has sent me to the Jordan" (2 Kings 2: 2) - the one that descends and the last obstacle to be overcome when returning to the promised land.
So we will probably know the great day of our Blessed Hope!
MARANATHA!!!
Paul's latest was awesome and so inspiring. As I was taking notes, I couldn't help but believe our Lord wants us to know the Hour of His Return. Coupled with Jeova's comment above re Elijah, it just makes sense. And like Elijah, we have traveled from point to point until we hopefully now have the point of our ascent in view. Will we know like they did? Why wouldn't we know? As Paul D. points out, Rev.3:3 KJV indicates that if we are watching we SHOULD know.
DeleteI don't even have a word to describe this sense of calm excitement as we approach this 70th Passover. It's like finally reaching the edge of our destination after such a long and arduous journey. This Beulah Land coming into view is just so beautiful and serene that rather than rush in, we must pause and take a moment, breathe deeply in relief as we take in the sheer wonder of it and realize the magnitude of such a welcoming gift. Blessings and All Praise and Glory to the Giver Who Stands in the midst of it all--the Lamb of God and the Lion of Judah--our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
Maranatha:-)
Hallelujah!!!
DeletePraised and Exalted be the King of kings, the Lord of Lords (of whom we are and to whom we go)!!!
MARANATHA!!!
amen!
DeleteI believe The Father is talking to His children:-D Check out @Andrew Rich YTC "Willowby, OHHHHHH You Better Listen To This!!! 6-7 min., then be sure and take a stroll through the comment section, esp. noting the one re The Twilight Zone episode #30. And per @L Lott's latest series re the movie "2:22", the number 30 is coming into play per Esthers 30 days. (Est.4:11 KJV) and something to do with 1st and 2nd Passovers being 30 days apart. I saw that TZ episode recently, so that hit me right off, but I didn't know about the Willowby connection with Spring Weddings. Doesn't even matter how you spell it--it's all pointing in the same direction. As Kay Tdid commented there, "Going to the chapel and we're gonna get married...."
ReplyDeleteSheila B., I happened to catch the Willowby today and did see the TZ comment though had no connection with it. LLott's last few had nuggets but were too unstructured for me to track with while at the office. Somewhere I saw Unforgettable Wednesday mentioned and then found that there is a Jazz Instrumental by that name although it was Weds 4/17, about 3 days prior to 4/19-20, which was highlighted. JarJar says, 'Strong tug-of-war mefeels between The Doors of Spring Opening and The Passover as a Marker for Evil Tidings, this year, oh my!' Maranatha!
DeleteJimboni, it's true that @LLott tends to ramble a lot, but while I don't agree with her take on everything, she does find some really good nuggets and connections. Also interesting in re to your Jazz remark--today's Google Doodle celebrates now deceased S. African Jazz artist Hugh Masekela--a famous "Trumpet" player. He played with a group called the Jazz "Epistles". His 1968 #1 Single was called "Grazing in the Grass" and he did a famous soundtrack in 1990 called "Bring Him Home".
Delete(and hmmm...speaking of JarJar, when he needed to get outta Dodge, he was only saved by the fact that Master Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn had already saved him from certain death, thus he was owed a life debt and JarJar belonged to him, so JarJar was along for the ride wherever it went...sounds a little familiar;-) Blessings, Brother!
RAPTURE ALERT! New "Steven & Jana chat" recorded livestream about the Noahide Laws (rebuttal) analyzes some piece of a Mark Biltz YouTube presentation, very interesting and filled with subtle hatred against true Christians. I bet you haven't heard Mark Biltz changing his tone so far but eventually "you will know them by their fruits"... We now have come so far that anyone who will somehow try to question or critizise these strange NL will be called "antisemitic"! Now ponder what THAT means... MARANATHA!

Annabel, Oh am i glad to see You! Thanks for this link, looks to be quite interesting indeed! Blessings to you*! :) p,s, Have you read Garys new post? i liked it.~shalom sis*~
DeleteThanks for sharing, Annabel. Watching it now. Very disturbing where all this "Noahide Law" stuff is going.
DeleteFor many years, I interpreted the Revelation scriptures that talk about being beheaded for faith in Jesus as some sort of Muslim thing..... Looks like I was wrong.
Geez, what a confusing time to be alive. For years we've been taught that saying anything against Israel or Judaism is antisemetic. Well, is criticizing these "Noahide Laws" going to get me called an anti-semite?
Come quickly Lord Jesus!
So Good, 5 star presentation*. Jana is an asset to say the least! /// Orwell comes to mind, semantics, double think, news speak, euphemism etc,...Haven't you heard, its a battle of words and most of them are lies. i mean if a little leaven causes what it does then how much more does a heap of leaven cause?!!!
DeleteOnce the Age of Grace comes to a close, and all of us under the New Covenant exit, the deception will be so strong and tempting to agree to the terms under the Old Covenant again (a.k.a. the ministry of death: 2 Cor. 3:6--8). I can see how confusing it will be for someone who is coerced by guilt into agreeing with the NWO for fear of their head being chopped off. Dissenters will be labeled "anti-Semites" and "idolaters." The deception will be strong, indeed.
DeleteCome soon, Lord!
Your right Jeff, undoubtedly. It all seems so unreal as we long for Willoughby*
DeleteI just had a quick glance @ the Dow Jones index today, and I am no expert, but the pattern on the 12 months chart appears to be setting up the 2nd high point of a capital "M" this is usually a sign that a downturn is about to start in that Index. and Seeing that the Dow Jones is a good indicator for the general state of the economy, it is a good indicator when it turns south, that all other indices will also turn south at the same time.
ReplyDeleteTo me it looks like another domino is in place regarding all the domino's poised to topple at the same time.
#1 WARS & RUMOR'S OF WARS - So we have Tim's recent updates about: Russia moving troops to Venezuela and threatening America, Pakistan & India banging war drums, Russia Threatening UK, China Threatening USA, Tensions mounting in the Middle East. Etc etc
#2 FINANCIAL SYSTEM AT THE TOP OF AN UPSWING - people will be building houses, marrying and being given in marriage implying life as normal in an upswing.
#3 DEAL OF THE CENTURY ABOUT TO BE UNVEILED - WHICH IS LIKELY TO SOON LEAD TO THE 7 YEAR COVENANT
#4 BUILDING OF 3rd TEMPLE PLANS IN PLACE - going by Mike Pompeo's recent visit to Israel and signing some document with Netanyahu after looking at models of the new temple, one can only assume, that the temple will be given the Go ahead in the deal of the century. It has been said the temple can be constructed inside a year.
#5 SANHEDRIN EXPECTING THEIR "MESSIAH" VERY SOON
#6 THE 10th RED HEIFER BEING BORN (ALBEIT GENETICALLY MODIFIED) SINCE MOSES TIME, THAT NEEDS TO BE SACRIFICED BEFORE IT's 4th BIRTHDAY
#7 DANIEL'S 434 YEARS + 49 YEARS = 483 YEARS BEING FULFILLED BY KING SUIELMON THE MAGNIFICENT, AND EXPIRING IN 2019
#8 THE MASS FLOODING IN THE USA MIDLANDS - As someone put it, before most births there is a breaking of water.
#9 OBAMA's VISIT TO THE THRONE OF SATAN ON THE 6th of APRIL - Hitler visited the same throne of Satan, and which soon followed was WW2
#10 FIG TREE GENERATION - Israel being still in her 70th Year until the 14th of May 2019.
#11 THE 70th PASSOVER
#12 GOOD IS CALLED EVIL, AND EVIL GOOD
#13 THE GOSPEL WILL BE PREACHED TO ALL THE NATIONS AND THEN THE END WILL COME- Thanks to John Allen Chau last year being brave enough to send the gospel to one of the last few islands in the world to receive the message of salvation, this box has been ticked.

DeletePromise #94:
ReplyDeleteI created all things for My pleasure.
Revelation 4:11
“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One,
to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things,
and because of your desire they existed, and were created!”
The backdrop to today's promise is found in the throne room of God as described by the Apostle John in Revelation 4. What an amazing sight! Rainbow colors flashing, angels crying holy, and the four and twenty elders falling on their faces worshiping the Lord God Almighty. I can't wait for the day when I experience this amazing sight face to face.
As the elders are worshiping God, they are declaring that everything that God created was made for His pleasure! Think about that for a minute. You and I are part of His amazing handiwork and the reason He created us was for His own pleasure! The Message Paraphrase says today's Scripture verse this way... Worthy, O Master! Yes, our God! Take the glory! the honor! the power! You created it all; It was created because you wanted it. (MSG)
The reason that you were created is because God wanted you! He created you to make Him happy! Not as a servant, but as His beloved child. My prayer today is that this reality would go deep into our hearts. We were all wanted. We were all planned. We were all created by a loving God who made us in His own image so that we could make Him smile! What a wonderful God we have!

I WILL ONLY DO GOOD TO THEM
ReplyDeleteJeremiah 32:38-41
"...and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good, and of their children after them: and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me. Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul."
There are many Scriptures in the Old Testament that give us an insight into the heart of God for His people. Before the cross, the promises of God were primarily for those of the nation of Israel. However because of the sacrifice of Jesus two thousand years ago, Gentiles and Jews alike have access to all the promises of God (in Christ) in both the Old and New Testaments.
In today's Bible reading from Jeremiah, we read of God's desire for His people. He longs for the day when His people will know that they really belong to Him and that He belongs to them. His heart is for us to know that He has made an everlasting covenant towards us to only do good for us, for this is His delight.
Many of us struggle to see God in this light. Many still struggle with a perception of God that portrays Him as distant and angry and ready to judge us the moment we slip up. Praise God that this is not the truth! Jesus paid the once and for all complete price so that we all could be fully reconciled to our Father so that every promise in the Bible would apply to us.
Our Father's heart is to joyfully plant us into a wonderful land with all His heart and His soul. My prayer today is that the blinders would come off all of our eyes so that we could truly see who we are in Christ, not just in eternity, but right now.
Galatians 3:26-29
"For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to promise."

YES! If we think of our heavenly Father as the Source of the fruits of the Spirit, we'll have him firmly in mind as He IS.

DeleteWhile thinking on Paul Dawson's Passover studies, the Oklahoma City bombing and the Waco incident, both April 19, came to mind. Seems there is a high level of occult activity around this time as well, April 19-May 1. Search of historic April events, interesting. Lots of war and intrigue. Mohammad and Hitler were both supposed to have been born April 20. The next few weeks should be busy.
ReplyDeleteKathy in Pa, Blessings. Good excuse to mention Pastor Sandy, think its been a while around here or I'm being absent minded, anywho, loved his recent sound unpacking of the Word, The World Is About To Change, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZJ7h18Vj3U . Pastor Sandy is showing us a hard Backstop to this and, in light of our ongoing strengthening understanding that WE WILL KNOW and esp CM's recent Rev's concerning Passover, et al, Pastor Sandy's Word is, imho, just that. Quite simply, from our point of view, NOW, looking BACK, as it were, the days at hand, and I'm talking less than 40 of them, are as clearly spelled out in Scripture as was our Beloved Revelation 12 Sign, amen. Skip packing, Love, we're not gonna need it, Maranatha!
DeleteOn a footnote about Pastor Sandy, my problem with him is that he teaches works-based salvation. I've listened to him long enough to conclude that he teaches another Gospel. So, it's not "eat the meat and spit the bones" to me anymore. He spoke openly against the believer's eternal security in Christ which he called a heretical teaching. There are some other things I've heard from him I deemed outrageously wrong ( like "the Lord will kick us out if we won't behave" as he put it, for example ) but what topped all was his claim that the Lord Jesus appeared to him in a vision and told him that believers who "become lukewarm" (no, not just the "name only Christians") will be left behind in the rapture! As for me, that's why I don't trust his discernment (at all).
DeleteThanks Nora, i pray for him and his nice group of followers
Deletequite interesting Kathy, thanks for that! and Jimboni, i was watching Sandys video when you were posting about it! and i hadn't watched him for some time...!
DeleteA very good idea Tony, I'll do the same!
DeleteFor me, it is hard to listen to someone who believes in a "partial" rapture because it is contrary to the gospel of grace that Paul preached. It is another gospel that ends up creating fear in believers that leads to a work-based salvation and worrying one is not worthy to go in the rapture - when we can never be worthy enough but have the righteousness of Christ imputed unto us. The God of Heaven thus accepts us because he sees the work of Christ, that we are covered by Christ's blood.
DeleteNora and Fam, I thought I had recalled some issue there. I am OK with your stance on that. Your line aligns with Pastor Tim Henderson concerning 'which' Jesus you are believing on/preaching being central to everything. I would only posit that, esp in these times, it isn't so much his discernment I am leaning on, but my own, concerning the detail of which he may well have been a mouthpiece. Ofc, such is also the turf of deceptions and hence my placing it here to be taken to the Word by our company amongst which are several more diligent in such than I, amen. For those who feel that such is a fool's errand due the vessel by which this arrived, so be it. It's all good, Blessings, Maranatha!
DeleteBlessings, too Jimboni. He surly is popular (Pastor Sandy). Deborah at Speaking the Truth in Love has a new video and she referenced Pastor Sandy in his saying that the white horse and the rider's bow is the covenant/agreement. She included a link. She also said that God had revealed this to her earlier at some point in time but didn't feel led to share that. She sure does tho talk fast, I need to slow down the speed!
DeleteRAPTURE ALERT! from "Chicken Little" THE SKY IS FALLING!!
ReplyDeleteWatch #Jeff P YTC "The matrix is now ripping apart..." video from 3rd April although I do not support any '3 days of darkness' nonsense the evidence is very clear to me showing how close we are to Revelation 12:5 being fulfilled soon! I myself didn't have the opportunity yet to take pictures from my place yet I have also been noticing VERY strange skies and abnormal light / darkness phenomena quite similar to those presented here:
https://youtu.be/YrpUr3dda98
LOOK UP at your place whereever you are and watch the skies there, it will probably not take long to notice the same. What I found interesting was how the anomalies in the "veil" were described as "vertical from top to ground" which reminded me of an important scripture... MARANATHA, it is finished!
More fabulous images from "matrix glitches" were caught on FAA weathercams in Alaska by #The Final Days YTC here:
Deletehttps://youtu.be/Id4RitVcjjs
"Vertical from top to ground",....Yeah man! . . . . Next stop Willa- bee* ,...So bee it! /// As for the 3 daze of darkness, my mind rushes to the road to Damascus - Saul/Paul conversion dramatic realization ?!?!!
DeleteSurely, there are greater things afoot here than are even dreamt of in your philosophies, Horatio, ...(Did he just call me Shirley?)
DeleteShoot i reckon but it may a bin oxidental Jimbo, why look what he took n said bout all that other! :)) we gut fer greater thangs afoot hear now by crackie, the Blasted sky's rippin' apert! see me in my office by sundown!
DeleteWell, I don't think 3 days of darkness is biblical and it is only creating fear. I have listened to those who are saying it is a deception, not biblically correct etc - Andrew Rich, Amanda Christian, and, Colleen Minter. I didn't realize it stems supposedly from Catholicism and Amanda went into more detail. How has the YT community taken ahold of this like wildfire?
ReplyDeleteSame here. YT could be a really bad place at times, especially when it comes to all kinds of strange teachings and notions.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteSorry, I had too many typos and hit Publish by mistake. Thanks, Nora. I don't want to be sounding harsh. I can't help at times to think of the verses on never coming to a knowledge of the truth (tho this refers to believing in the simple gospel of grace, I believe) and in people wanting their ears tickled ...
DeleteYou didn't sound harsh to me at all, no worries!
DeleteGood Day All. I spent some time yesterday looking at some YTC and my goodness! What I personally see going on is something I'd just call a 3 pronged attack on the Body of Christ with the full intent of causing division through instilling dread and fear, which of course we are NOT given the spirit of. ( 2Tim.1:7 KJV) Ofc, it's only my understanding, but what I saw clearly were these 3 things being argued over up one side and down the other:
DeleteThese 3 pre-Rapture DOD on which I felt Colleen did an excellent job of refuting in pointing out that in the Exodus when that 3 days of darkness fell upon the Egyptions, the Israelites were to mark their doorposts with the blood of the lambs for their protection, BUT we as the Body of Christ are now covered in the Blood of THE Lamb and Jesus Christ already fulfilled the sign of Jonah. The coming days of judgement on this Earth are surely going to be filled with darkness, both spiritually and physically, but as children of the LIGHT, I don't believe we can be here. This is not to say that our Lord cannot use our glorification in some miraculous way per His Will as a testimony of His Mercy, but I cannot fathom it being through the terror of our being holed up in our houses with candles and black bags on the windows while demons bang on the doors and windows to get in. So not going there in fear.
Next, we've always known that after the Rapture, there will be dire consequences for any who won't succumb to the Beast System and all who refuse to deny Christ will be beheaded, so the only thing new about this Noahide Law emphasis is that it will be implemented by the Sanhedrin who will have somehow taken over the world. While that view may be news to me, it is still the same outcome we have always expected from the Beast System, but I guess if one is not a Pre-Trib believer who does not expect to be here anyway, this could have one looking askance in fear at the State of Israel as the source of impending doom. Otherwise, we've warned all we can that this satanic horror is coming, so not going there in fear either.
And the last and maybe the worst is the attack on the Finished Work of the Cross to put Believers in fear of their own lack of worthiness. Common sense tells me that Salvation by Grace through Faith in His Righteousness alone is the only way our God's Plan of Redemption would ever work. It's the only way that PRIDE, of which Satan is the original practitioner, can be fully extinguished by putting everyone of us on a level playing field. As long as our good works are considered a part of the criteria for Salvation, pride will reign. Pastor Tim had an excellent example of this with his video on those two women at the mall.
And I was so disappointed to see Darren Jack @clearlywritten stubbornly try to defend this ideology by actually stating this oxymoron--He said Salvation is a "Conditional Gift". There simply is no such thing. REWARDS are conditional as is implied by their nature, but NOT A GIFT by it's very definition. Surely not going there in fear and that's my nickel on all of these ongoing attacks, which is exactly what they are.
Setting my peace firmly in the Lord and Author of our Salvation, Jesus Christ and just praying He comes quickly:-)
Love, Blessings and Maranatha!
Thank you, Sheila, for saying what needed to be said.
DeleteAmen, sister Sheila!
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteWell said Sheila.
DeleteYeah I see it too a massive attack on OSAS.. Lots of talk about 3 days of darkness and Noahide Laws,
Many people coming out in the last days, declaring OSAS is the doctrine of demons.. I heard someone comment that YTC: Pearl Kolleri, was one of them, also recently: The Unleashing, Watchwoman expressed the same opiniona. And I believe Mike from OnPoint Prepareness, alluded to "Luke Warm Christians" (which I believe to be an oxi-moran; my understanding of lukewarm, is someone who is combining faith plus works for their salvation, and it is not a lifestyle of one foot in Christianity and one foot in the world as has been widely and falsely presented as the meaning of Lukewarm) and works based salvation.
It seems many people's position: light or deception is been made known now. Thank God he has allowed us to see these things clearly.
I used to feel so confused by all the deception and conflicting messages and contrary biblical doctrines. But now I feel I can spot a forgery a mile off.
Anything that says, "we are saved by grace through faith... BUT..." is usually the key.
Well, demons don’t have to wait for an open door or window, and can see us no matter what anyway, so that just shows how little most people understand the spiritual.
DeleteRenee Roland said it, people don't want to believe the gospel.
DeleteThey rather believe in themselves and what they can do, the good person that they are especially when comparing themselves to someone else or judging another person for a sin they don't do or wouldn't ever do.
Jordan, that is so right about being lukewarm. That is the overall view and what is preached. It creates that work-based faith.
heck wiff 'em,... we're goin' vertical^, Yonder!
DeleteHave to admit I have stopped watching any of the YT channels that have tried to argue against OSAS. I believe you can't trust what is being tought if they are not able to teach or believe the most basic of theology to what it is to be a born again Christian. So very thankful to the Lord for his word that is truth.
DeleteSheila B., and Fam, Blessings and I agree. While I was somewhat swept up when I first encountered this, a year or so ago I think, I got my head on straight and it is so clear an attack on By Christ Alone, the Authority of Scripture and, if anything, an attack to further ensnare lukewarm Christians which I more define as one ignorant of His Word as they lack any passion to know it. Roman Catholics generally camp here delegating Father to handle the mysticism in the errant texts. So, against OSAO, Pre-Trib, By Christ Alone, Authority of Scripture, Authority of The Cross, and so contrary to so many things in Scripture that it seems a way for the enemy to clearly identify who to round up when dealing with the left behind survivors, Maranatha!
DeleteI am in complete agreement with you all on this. It's the enemy stirring the pot and trying to get the Lord's children to turn on one another because he knows he has but little time left. It's terrible and sad.
DeleteJust watched the latest video from Colleen Minter, she said it is her last one. She said she has fallen out of favor with certain brethren (I'm guessing maybe because of her recent videos denouncing the 3 DoD) and therefore will no longer be making videos.
Soon and sooner, brothers and sisters, we are almost Home. Hosanna!
@Cathi G, @Sheila B Amen!
Delete@Sheila, yes absolutely NO FEAR with me, even not with all these increasing rumours of wars around (and you know, I am in Germany and we had this Russian threat all the time not only in WW2 but we're located just in center position...). I am as calm as I can be. I can only pray "So what Jesus, I can't do anything about it, your will be done."
Delete@Jordan, you see this is good training for you then, last minute discernment lesson! ;-) You will need that during the millennium when ruling over nations you know...
@Mom, I see Satan at work too but to me this is not even sad but I'm glad that the cleansing of the threshing floor has begun Matthew 3:12 because there MUST be a final call like in Exodus 32:26 "Who is on the LORDs side? Let him come unto me!" and see what happened in the next verse/s... (Better read the whole chapter again to understand the context and compare to today)
MARANATHA!
Micah,
Delete"Have to admit I have stopped watching any of the YT channels that have tried to argue against OSAS. I believe you can't trust what is being tought if they are not able to teach or believe the most basic of theology to what it is to be a born again Christian.

EXACTLY!!! I'm the same way! (And that's what I meant when I said -in a previous comment- that I don't trust Pastor Sandy's discernment.) I don't trust anyone's discernment who denies the believer's eternal security in Christ and denies that our salvation is His blood bought GIFT to us by His grace through faith which are all parts of that *gift package*. The Lord Jesus is the author and perfecter of our faith as the Bible says.
Blue Heaven YT channel has also argued against OSAS recently, I was very sad about that.
I think I should add the Midnight Hour Oil YT channel to that list. I stopped listening to her probably half a year ago. She basically went into Lordship Salvation according to my understanding.
DeleteWhat's so bad to me about this thing is that so many of these people are talking "grace grace grace" and "grace thru faith" and while I'm keenly watching, in many cases my radar doesn't catch anything at first and then I'm getting nestled in the belief that they're indeed hearing from the Lord and then somewhere down the road -at many times later then sooner- comes the BUMMER-BUMP!
DeleteWork based Salvation is wrong. We are never saved by our works but are saved only by the finished work of Christ on the cross.
The Only thing that God expects from us is that our lamps and vessels must be filled with oil and our lamps must be burning when He comes.
Lamp — represents our Spirit (Inner Man) — from which comes our spiritual desires
Vessel — represents our Body (Outer Man) — from which comes our actions
The SPIRIT of man is the LAMP of the Lord, searching all the inner depths of his heart.
(Pro 20: 27)
Each of you should know how to possess his own VESSEL (Body) in sanctification and honour.
(1 Thessalonians 4: 4)
VESSEL WITH OIL & WITHOUT OIL:
Each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honour.
For God did not call us to uncleanness but in holiness
Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has given us His Holy Spirit.
( 1 Thessalonians 4: 4,7,8)
So our VESSEL can either be filled with OIL ( Holy Spirit)
OR
We can reject God by not allowing His Spirit to live His life of holiness in us. Then our VESSEL will not have OIL.
Matthew 5: 15,16:
Lighted Lamp — gives light — others see the light — which is our good works
There is precious little time left before Christ returns.
The Virgins trimmed their lamps and had oil in their Vessels.
We must never trust in our good works to save us. Only Christ’s finished work can save us.
But we need to trim our lamps and check if we have oil in our vessels.
OIL IN OUR VESSEL:
To have oil in our vessel we must repent for our sins and surrender our life totally to Christ and allow His Spirit to live His life in us.
We must never trust in our own righteousness to save us.
We must trust that Christ’s Righteousness is always ours.
DeleteNo man is perfect and no one can earn their salvation. It is the free gift of God.
Salvation is always through Christ’s Death on the cross right from the start of our spiritual journey till the end.
There's a reason why I think so that the parable of the foolish virgins might not for the Church but I don't want to go into that topic now (it's constantly debated anyway).
DeleteLet's just remain with the Gospel-basics:
Having *the oil of the Lord* means to have His Holy Spirit in you, being sealed by Him= saved, born again persons.
Not having *the oil of the Lord* means NOT having His Holy Spirit inside of you AT ALL, aka not being sealed by Him at all= not saved, not born again persons
According to the Gospel there's no middle-ground where the responsibility of our own salvation and rapture-readiness hinges on us!
Even the process of sanctification is something in which we should rely on the Lord completely! Even so, every person who is saved is also sanctified by the Lord! Justification and sanctification BY Him ONLY comes with the whole *salvation-package*, this is neither a salvation nor a rapture-readiness issue!
There is no *but* when it comes to the topic of salvation and being rapture ready aka being *Heaven&Rapture-worthy*! His shed blood for us on that cross, His sacrifice for us which we accepted is the one and only qualifier for all of us both for the rapture and for spending eternity with Him! There's nothing else. Also, as I added, He Himself justified us and sanctified us (and leads us into the good works He Himself prepared for us).
"But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." (1 Corinthians 6:11) Let me repeat: BY THE SPIRIT OF OUR GOD! And all these things have happened already, it's in the past tense. Especially from the Lord's perspective which is the only correct perspective! Sanctification is a lifetime process for us while we live in this flesh but when it comes to the Lord we're already sanctified and blameless without spots.
On a sidenote: If we haven't been washed by His blood already and haven't been sanctified by Him already(!) His Holy Spirit couldn't come to live in us, sealing us for eternity. "And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins." (Luke 5:37-38) And again, He Himself does the sanctification. Growing and maturing in the Lord, walking with Him and let Him taking the wheel concerning everything is another topic, it's personal and totally unique in the case of every saved person and is a lifetime process and not a salvation&rapture ready-issue either.
"For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified."(Hebrews 10:14)
"Don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption." (Ephesians 4:30)
Yes, sadly we can grieve the Holy Spirit because of our flesh. EVEN SO, we remain sealed by Him(!) for the day of our redemption (the day of the rapture).
In the end no matter how subtly you put it, if there's a *but* attached with a person's own performance when it comes to being worthy both for the rapture and for Heaven that is works-based salvation and it's contrary to the Gospel.
(This turned out to be much longer than what I planned but I think I covered everything I wanted.)
p.s.:
Delete"To have oil in our vessel we must repent for our sins and surrender our life totally to Christ and allow His Spirit to live His life in us."
In case all of that are a person's means to maintain their own salvation& their *rapture-worthiness* then this is Lordship Salvation in a nutshell and isn't compatible with the Gospel.
Also, *repent* means changing our mind: realizing that we need Him as our Savior because we can't save ourselves! Evey born again person has already repented in the Lord's eyes. We get sad about the things of the flesh and we regret certain things but *contant repentance* is not a means for Heaven&Rapture-worthiness, ONLY the Lord's shed blood for us qualifies! I don't mind repeating all of that adding again that maturing in the Lord and letting Him taking control of every segment of our lives is another thing, it's about our love-relationship and unique, personal walk with Him and it is nothing to do with making us worthy of being raptured and of Heaven! Only the Lord's sacrifice on our behalf which we accepted that qualifies us for the rapture and for Heaven, nothing else!
“…no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”
Delete(1 Corinthians 1: 30-31)
It is there (too) in no uncertain terms.
“…who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption…”
The Lord Jesus Himself is:
my wisdom
my righteousness
my sanctification
my redemption
This is the good news of the Gospel!
I agree Nora, Well said.
DeleteOnce we accepted the gospel of salvation through Jesus's life, precious blood, death, burial and resurrection as payment for all of our sins, and believe it. We are saved, sealed, born again & Holy Spirit indwelt. At that stage, there is nothing we can do to maintain or top-up our salvation, either by our good deeds, nor is there anything we can do to lose our salvation, i.e. by our continual sin. Thank God for such a merciful and Loving God that we have.
Thank you, Nora, for your defense of the Gospel!! There is nothing more freeing than realizing that Yahshua has done it all. Your comment sent me off, joyfully, to Biblegateway to read the confirmation scriptures. Hebrews 11:5-6 , John 6:28-29 , Romans 4:1-4 to name a few. Seems to me that The Father just wants someone to believe what he said. Glory be to our Father for the precious gift of His written Word and His WORD MADE FLESH!!!
Delete"If we haven't been washed by His blood already and haven't been sanctified by Him already(!) His Holy Spirit couldn't come to live in us, sealing us for eternity. And no one pours new wine into old wineskins."
DeleteNora, I just never thought about this in quite that way before as to believing in Christ ... What a way to stop and realize that you are already secure in your salvation! BECAUSE of what God did when he offered His son to pay the penalty for our sin and Jesus Christ obeyed the Father and he went to the cross to pay this price, rejoicing because he was going to break the power of sin and death. He was the only perfect, sinless sacrifice that God could accept. When we believed on his son Jesus Christ and the work that he did on the cross - his death, burial and resurrection - that free gift of salvation which is eternal life - was given to us and we have the imputed righteousness of Christ upon us. The Holy Spirit resides within us then and we have ALREADY been sealed for that day of redemption when our mortal bodies are changed into immortal bodies! It is as Jesus said on the cross, It Is Finished. His shed blood paid the penalty for our sin. Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith.
Jordan, I like that - we don't have to "top-up" our salvation!
Unknown, you were very subtle (as Nora said) about the free gift of salvation in Jesus Christ - but no dice.
The oil is the Holy Spirit within us for those who have believed in Jesus Christ and those without oil or who don't have enough oil or ran out of oil - were those who believed and trusted in their own works to get them into Heaven. They are unbelievers.
DeleteMy prayer for each and every one of us here is that we must be called as wise virgins at Christ’s coming and not one of us must be called a foolish virgin.
Let us always study the Scriptures and with God’s help understand them. By that way we can understand the heart of God and what He expects of us.
Man’s views may be wrong but God’s Word is always right.
Dr. Francis Schaeffer put it like this, "You cannot merit the Merit of Christ"! Gods Love to all....
DeleteUnknown, we are not virgins or bridesmaids. We are the Bride of Christ. The parable of the 10 virgins who all slept and all awoke with 5 having oil ... Is not speaking about the church/body of Christ but is to Israel. All the parables are speaking to Israel and are not meant for the body of Christ. These apply to the Tribulation Period. I recently heard either Andy Woods or Renee Roland say the parables are not doctrine.
DeleteI sense you are a wolf among the sheep.
The Good News is good news and our Blessed Hope is a blessed hope. :-) Thanks to the Lord! Salvation is our most precious gift, given to us freely by Him out of His love for us while it cost Him everything. He went as far as literally becoming our sin. I can't fathom that with my limited human mind but it surely is HUGE! And He gave us His righteousness. He went as far as making us His righteousness! This is HUGE too! (2 Corinthians 5:21) As Jordan said, I can't top that.
DeleteUnknown, if you ever get tired of trying to keep yourself full of "oil", I am adding a link to an audio bible study that can help you be free.
Deletehttps://gracethrufaith.com/audio/the-olivet-discourse/
Please keep an open mind and ask our Father to reveal His truth to you. I carried that oil can around for years and what a relief it is to be free of it. Abba bless you today with his truth.
DeleteA wolf among sheep.
What a name to be called by.
No problem. People called my beloved Lord too by many names.
God bless you dear sister Cathi.
Sister Kathy I am not tired “carrying oil can “
I am just the can and God’s Spirit is the oil in me.
It’s no longer I that liveth but Christ liveth in me.
May be my way of explaining brought pictures of labour and work to your mind. But it is just letting go and letting God live your life. Anyway thanks for your kind words. God bless you.
Hey Guys,
DeleteI just posted a new video today, check it out if anyone is interested.
URL: https://youtu.be/xNn1Z7lBtN0
Title: Depart From Me I Never Knew You | OSAS (5 mins)
DeleteDear Jordan,
Thanks for the link you posted. I checked it out today.
Regarding the words “ Depart From Me, I Never Knew You”
This is how I understand it :
1. How can we be saved or be born again?
By believing in Christ.
2. What happens when we believe in Christ?
God the Father seals us with His Holy Spirit.
3. What does the phrase “ I never knew you “ by the Lord mean?
It simply means “ My Spirit has never resided in you”
4. How can we know that God’s Spirit is residing in us?
When God’s Spirit resides in us, He
a. Makes us accept the Lordship of Christ in our lives (1 Cori 12:3)
b. Gives us delight for the laws of God ( Romans 7:22)
c. Gives us the desire to do the right (Romans 7: 19)
d. Gives us hatred for evil ( Romans 7: 15)
e. Convicts us of our sin & give us a godly sorrow for our sins ( Romans 7: 24)
g. Restores us with joy when we Repent
5. Does this mean, the good works produced by the Holy Spirit
in the believer save him?
No, his good works cannot save him. Only the blood of Christ can save him
Jordan, I LOVED your video. The way you "orchestrated" that message was SO powerful and listening to it with the headphones just really drove the Word straight into the heart. Surely inspired Brother:-)
DeleteThank you Sheila. So kind of you to say that.
DeleteI made it with my mum in mind, who is a staunch supporter of salvation insecurity. My goodness, she is literally daily texting me to say I am "in deception" that I have "a spiritual stronghold" because I won't buy her nonsense that "we should work out our salvation with fear and trembling". She sends me on videos from the Sid Roth channel of people who've had trips to hell, and came back, to say we have to work harder for our salvation.
I know Sid Roth only promotes works salvation
I tell her that these so called trips to hell that people are sent to by Jesus are nonsense, and their whole goal is to promote a works based salvation mindset. And she calls me in deception, and that she will pray against it.. then she blocks me after a fairly heated exchange..
To be honest.. The majority of so called Christian's have been duped into discounting and disregarding Ephesians 2:8-9 . They cant seem to understand the words "eternal life" "everlasting life" & "free gift".
Thank God that I was led to this group of true believers, who are eagerly watching for our Lord's soon return.
I pray it is soon.
Jordan...yeah...Sid Roth--that guy reminds me of a carnival barker always hawking a sideshow. While I'm sure there are some sincere people who get tangled up with him, he is all about selling sensationalism and unfortunately there's no shortage of buyers. Praying for your Mum's heart to open up to the Truth and I thank God for you, Brother--another Pillar to stand with us in defense of the Gospel of our Lord's Amazing Grace:-) Blessings and Maranatha!
Delete"... these so called trips to hell that people are sent to by Jesus ..."
DeleteYes, this is truly awful and actually a mega-offense against the Lord Jesus. A serious attack on His character and integrity right from the pit of hell.
(Plus, just thinking about the returning to the "Old Covenant system and such", which Sheila pointed out below and basically adding anything to His sacrifice suggest that His sacrifice is not enough to keep us saved.)
DeleteDear sisters please consider this as a friendly discussion where you state your understanding of things and not as attacking one another.
I find many Scriptures to prove that our good works or self righteousness can never save us.
But seriously I find no Scripture that says I will be assured heaven even if I continue in sin.
For example, Galatians 5: 19– 21 says,
Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Isn’t this Word of God true ? What is God trying to tell us through this verse?
Please Kindly share your views on this.
DeleteIf I believe in the gospel and still continue in hatred, jealousies, outbursts of wrath etc. etc. can I still go to heaven?
These are certain serious questions I need to get the answer before I stand before God.
Thanks in advance for all your views.
Unknown, my response is an easy rant. We war against the flesh. We are sinners saved by Grace who are not glorified as of yet, but we ARE COVERED in His Righteousness until we are made whole. You cannot live a perfect and holy life and no matter how hard you work at it--you are going to mess up--agreed? Surely you agree that Jesus Christ is the Only One to ever have lived a sinless and perfect life on this planet. So if SALVATION is based on one's perfect obedience, rather than on one's faith in The One who was perfectly obedient to His Mission, the question becomes who of us can make that cut? No one? So then what...sin, repent, repeat, sin, repent, repeat...How many times does HE need to wash us in His Precious Blood and cloak us in His Righteousness? (My answer is One and Done).
DeleteBut let's say you just had a guy cut you off in traffic and scared the heck out of you and you let loose with an ugly tirade because you got babies in your back seat, then Boom--Rapture happens--and there you are...still sitting in your car (all alone now) because you didn't have time to offer repentance, seek forgiveness or make some kind of atonement. So sad and too bad after all of your years of struggling to be the best Christian you could be because your very SALVATION rested on that. Yes, you sinned in life like all others, but you always repented of it and tried to do better, but not this time simply because there was no time. It's ridiculous on it's face. Praise THE LORD that HE is the AUTHOR and FINISHER of our faith--and not us. Heb.12:2 KJV.
Why is this so hard for people to get? I don't know when even my 7 year old grandson gets it. He knows the rules of our house and he often willfully breaks them, but while he suffers the earthly consequences of his contrary actions, he also knows without a doubt that he will not be disowned, excommunicated from his family and handed over to some evil entity for destruction. But he will be corrected because he is ours and we love him dearly. He understands this about His Heavenly Father as well and knows that while willful sin begets chastisement, it does not leave him an orphan handed over to the enemy who wants to torture him in hellfire forever.
For any true Believer, OSAS is NOT a license to sin scot-free. It is fully trusting in the full and complete Saving Power of The Almighty God of All Creation to have overcome our fallen state with the greatest Sacrifice of Propitiation ever known. But He does give us the choice to take so great a Blood Bought Salvation and cling to that Justification through the thick and thin of Sanctification, or leave it and trust in our own abilities to be better than the next guy. Maranatha (and maybe you should start sincerely seeking Him about all of this)
Time IS short...really short.
I have spent hours and hours in study on this and will try to explain how it works best for me. Brothers and sisters please correct me if wrong.
DeleteWith Moses, God brought law. When the Israelites were in Exile, God told them to put blood of the unblemished lamb's blood so the home will be Passover the curse. It did not say the blood wouldn't work if there were fornicators or drunks or whores or thieves living there. At that time God made a covenant with the Jewish people and they are saved.
Jesus fulfilled law and we are saved if we believe the blood works.
We are the clay he is the potter. We will always struggle with sin. He removes sin from your life. I assure you He is still molding me. No one believes more in the blood than this filthy sinner.
DeleteI also surely believe that people here are not practising any of these things.
But can we make a bold statement that a believer continuing in sin will go to heaven when the Scripture states otherwise?
DeleteI agree with all the other things of OSAS perfectly.
I believe that God is my Father who will never cast me away.
My righteousness is filthy rags and only by the blood of Christ I stand justified.
The Spirit of God is in the process of sanctifying me and I am not perfect.
But at all times I have the righteousness of Christ.
But regarding sin, when God portrays sin as a serious thing,
I cannot make a bold statement that a believer continuing in sin will get to
heaven when the Scriptures states otherwise.
nolongerlukewarm,
Delete"...God told them to put blood of the unblemished lamb's blood so the home will be Passover the curse. It did not say the blood wouldn't work if there were fornicators or drunks or whores or thieves living there."
Indeed! Great example!
DeleteI will not dare to assume things when Scripture is so clear. God and His Word has the final authority.
God always accepts sinners but He also says, “ Sin no more”
Concerning what the Scripture says... it depends on how we divide it. In my understanding, there are many encouraging and clear Bible verses about the believer's eternal security in Christ. I quoted here several before. The Lord Jesus took on Himself all -truly literally all- the sins of the world, all of our sins. He took our punishment on Himself as our substitute. If His sacrifice turned out insufficient and He wouldn't have cleansed us from ALL our sins, He would have remained in that tomb. But He is very much alive, the Father raised Him, He deemed abundantly sufficient what His Son did on the cross for us.
DeleteAnd not only that... imagine the following... a hypothetical example I heard from a brother once. Person A makes a big mess and he ends up owing Person B 500 000 dollars. Person A is dirty poor, there's no chance he could pay Person B back. Person A's kin comes along and he pays to Person B instead of Person A, helping Person A out. But… the kin pays to Person B 500.000.000. dollars! An overpayment actually, so Person A is more than off the hook! Compared to our real life example aka that the Lord Jesus gave His precious life for us this is a poor example but the point is what our Kin, the Lord Jesus did for us is actually an OVERPAYMENT!!! Because we not only have a *perfect sacrifice/substitute* BUT the Creator of the Universe, Jesus who is God as our Sacrifice and Substitute! God gave His Son and God gave His own life for us! This is an overpayment, of course it’s infinitely much more than 500.000.000 dollars! The value of the Lord Jesus' life is infinite. And He values your life and the lives of all of us that much (!) that He paid that much for us!
Of course the Father was greatly pleased with what the Son has done and raised Him from the dead! The Lord Jesus paid completely and perfectly for every single sin of every single person!
Another thing... Hebrews 1:3 says that about Jesus,
Delete"...when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high..."
Why did He sit down? He is the Son of God but that isn't the reason this is emphasized there.
In Old Covenant times in Israel the priest could never sit down because his job never ended, imperfect sacrifices must be offered continuously! BUT the Lord Jesus purged us from our sins perfectly and completely, His sacrifice was perfect and is complete! He as our High Priest could sit and rest now.
What must be understood is that when someone becomes born again a spiritual circumcision happens: God no longer equates our flesh with us. Not only He’s not looking at our flesh when he evaluates us- I mean those of us who are born again- He’s not looking at us at all! Instead He looks at our Perfect Representative the Lord Jesus Christ! He looks at Christ and His sacrifice we accepted when He evaluates us. Plus: He put us in Jesus, we are inseparable from Him forever. (And the Lord won't go to Hell.)
While we're in this body -sad but true- we will commit sins because to the flesh sinning is like breathing. BUT the more the born again believer learns about the Love and Grace of God, the more he/she matures in the knowledge of the Love of the Lord as they walk with Him and learn to listen to the Holy Spirit the lesser grip sin will have on them. Actually what invigorates the sin nature is focusing too much on the law. Romans 7 addresses this issue. And yes, Scripture is very clear that there will be saved, born again believers who will produce only "wood and hay" in their entire lives (and this isn't about our sins as our sins were dealt with at the cross once and for all!!!) and everything will be burned at the Bema Seat Judgment BUT they themselves will remain saved because their foundation is the Lord's finished work at the cross, His sacrifice they accepted!
DeleteI'd recommend reading the entire Book of Romans, especially Chapter 7 and 8 with prayerful ponderation concerning the issue of sin in the born again believer's life.
well from here the conversation usually goes to something they refer to as 'Willful sinning'.As in no more willful sinning! and i think to myself, humm...they must mean things like; Premeditated Murder!~???...like sinning 'intentionally. God forbid.... Lord have mercy!~ Now theres a "good" word, MERCY*. . . . Love to ALL ~shalom~
DeleteNora, yer 3 comments happened as i was typing and dealing w/ phone calls. so i see them now bit didn't before my comment, just sayin'
DeleteNo problem Tony!
DeleteHere are some closing thoughts... Because of the space limit I'll try to be brief. God's Word can't contradict itself. The Lord was very clear when He let the apostle Paul penned that 1. we are saved and sealed by the Holy Spirit UNTIL the day of redemption. No case of *unsealing* ever mentioned. The Lord would surely included it here when the sealing of the Holy Spirit was described. (Ephesians 1:13. Ephesians 4:30) The Lord also meant exacty what He meant when He let us know that nothing(!) can separate us from His love! Remember: what was initially pointed out in these passage (in Romans 8) is that there is now NO condemnation against those who are in Christ Jesus! (Romans 8:38-39) And YES *nothing* includes our own selves, we're not stronger than the Lord and His redemptive love for us! If it isn't enough here are the Lord Jesus' own words right out of His mouth:
"And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe.
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:36-40)
Also: " Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”
Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” (John 6: 28-29)
"And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.” (John 10:28-29)
And since the *unfruitful branches* argument is usually brought up, here's 2 in depht study b a brother on that topic, I link there:

DeletePromise #96:
ReplyDeleteI will protect and carry you all the days of your life.
Isaiah 46:4
"...and even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs will I carry you.
I have made, and I will bear; yes, I will carry, and will deliver."
The New International Version Bible translates Isaiah 46:4 this way... "Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you."
This is a Scripture that I often refer to when I am speaking about the importance of embracing a childlike heart even in our old age. In today's passage of Scripture, God is speaking to Israel and He tells them that He is the One who made them, He is the One who will sustain them and He is the One who will carry them all the days of their lives... even when they get old!
It doesn't matter if we are two years of age or 102, God is still our Father... And fathers look after their kids. No matter what you are facing in life, the Ancient of Days has promised to carry you and He will be faithful to rescue you in every situation where you need to be rescued.
You were never ever created to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. God is your burden bearer and He wants you to cast every care upon Him because He really does care for you. (1 Peter 5:7) He promises to protect and carry you all the days of your life!

HALLELUJAH!
Cool! :-)
DeleteI think *the escape part* of her dream is about escaping the start of the tribulation period/the time of God's wrath (the things Pastor Tim also mentioned recently re his rapture visions), maybe at the time of the break out of a major (world) war.
Hello everyone - might be some of off topic a bit but I just came across this article today and there's sth I'd like to explain to you while still waiting for Jesus here in our perishable flesh, sometimes in dire health conditions as I would notice from some of your stories shared in this blog:
ReplyDeletehttps://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-04-06/mysterious-drug-resistant-germ-deemed-urgent-threat-quietly-sweeping-globe
This is a GERM that could evolve from antibiotics overdose in our FOOD (and today, I am convinced it is also a lab germ being sprinkled upon us via chemtrails too) so that our IMMUNE SYSTEMS would weaken constantly. In the meantime, the SOILS on which grains and animal food are growing were step by step de-mineralized from BORON which is a very important trace mineral to the body, responsible for quite a number of things functioning. It can be made available in the former laundry detergant and food preservative "BORAX" which was (surprise, surprise!) pretty much DEMONIZED some years ago even to the extent being forbidden throughout the EU as being declared "poisonous" but leaving the case quite unnoticed by the MSM press (again: surprise!). If you're dealing with CANDIDA of any kind, please read and share the following information by simultaneously strengthening your own immune system by NATURAL means like garlic, ginger, turmeric, cloves and else and by instantly quitting antibiotics (for the most part of it) but instead trying to cure yourself from this:

Thank you for your attention, much appreciated. Have a healthy day in Jesus' name while we wait and pray COME QUICKLY LORD!
Annabel,
DeleteI read the same article. I also thought about using tea tree oil or oregano oil on this fungus.

Right, Aimée! Yet this treatment cures a lot of other things as well, also arthritis, menopause / er. disfunction, osteoporosis / bone issues or sclerosis in general. I found that "mysterious germ" just interesting as it is an example for the greater depopulation agenda behind. Blessings to you!
DeleteSome of my fave psalms like Psalm 91, Psalm 34 and other encouraging promises like "no weapon forged against you shall prosper" (Isaiah 54:17) always give me comfort. Plus, I believe that the Lord as our Good Shepard provides all that is needed for our mental, emotional and physical well-being, our*shalom*. (Philippians 4:19 comes to mind too.) I usually pray over the food (and drink) I and my family eats (and drinks), asking Him to bless it with all the nutrients (and health benefits) He intended it to have (which aren't naturally in our food/drink anymore because of the poor state of the Earth and nature currently) and to cleanse it from all the poisonous things that would harm our health. (I believe that He does all these things for us, even when I forget to specifically pray about it. Plus Mark 16:17-18 :-) thinking of the part about the poison of that verse.)
Delete"Yes, our God is merciful. The Lord preserves the simple..." (From Psalm 116:5-6, that's one of my fave Bible verses too.)
Agreed Annabel!
DeleteNora I love that blessing for the food! I am going to start using that going forward! Thank you for sharing!
i do that too Nora! :)
Delete:-)
DeleteNora I usually think that 'food blessing' should be a common practice among the brethren so indeed I wouldn't give it more emphasize here. I am well aware of "drinking deadly things that shall not hurt (us)" from Mark 16:18. Yet I see how the enemy works (or: seem to work) among this flock also when reports of diverse diseases are posted here. So this was just FYI how to cure most of them easily. There's also another means that I am currently educating myself on which is CHLORINE DIOXIDE (Kerri Rivera, Andreas Kalcker et al.) a well known water purifier but also working against ANY of diseases by oxidation. I will try myself too. Blessings around, MARANATHA!
DeleteTrust in the Lord, He has our backs, He's got everything covered. He goes before us and He is our rear-guard as well. He always knows what's best for us and nothing catches Him off guard.
DeleteI mean, I put my thoughts on here about the *solution* (aka trusting the Lord and taking comfort in His all-sufficient provision for us) not as opposing the info you share about these things (don't get me wrong).
DeleteI read this whole "germ" article to my husband and he was stunned that they would even try to hide such an invasive thing. I asked him, "why wouldn't they?" Also interesting was that they are positing that it suddenly arose from 4 different parts of the world simultaneously--sounds like a component of that 4th pale horse rider--after 5-6 years, is it just now making the news as another harbinger of what's to come? If only more people would listen up now...the connecting dots of Bible Prophecy rapidly being fulfilled are EVERYWHERE!

Hey Family...we've had some nasty storms our way and power outages last night and most of today, but it's back up for the time being. I must have power to post:-)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you all know that our Sister Sherry called this morning to touch base. She wanted the family here to know that she loves you all and is thankful for all of the prayers that went up for her and Ed. They endured an extremely intense 6 weeks together, but our Lord Jesus was right there with them in the middle of not only their pain and sorrow, but in the joy and the love they shared as she so eloquently shared. Today Sherry, their family and their friends were going to be coming together in a Celebration of Life for Ed. She does expect--should our Lord take more time than we expect--to be getting back into her ministries soon, but she also has strong feelings toward this Passover being the backstop along with the rest of us. And she also stands firm with us here on the Gospel of Grace that we all know to be true. She shared, too, that she was well aware of a line of angels that came to show Ed the way Home. So continued prayers for her strength as she goes boldly forward in the Will of our Lord. We love you, Sister Sherry!
And just a note of thanks to all of the wonderful confirmation above re this wonderful GIFT of Salvation by His Grace through the GIFT of Faith. Nora, TY for the many wise words you shared, Sister:-) Blessings All and Maranatha--What a day of Rejoicing we have to look forward to!!!
Unknown, semantics and smooth subtleties seem to be the order of the day, so we must all be cautious in guarding this faith in the Finished Work of the Cross that itself has been GIFTED to us, just as repentance (the changing of our minds) has been a GIFT to us.
Delete( 2Tim:25-26 KJV ). If what you are saying is that you believe Salvation is truly a FREE GIFT without conditions and the resulting sanctification is an individual work in progress that will determine "conditional" Heavenly Rewards--or not--then we are on the same page.
As I said above, in my view, it is the ONLY plan that would ever, or could ever successfully and fully extinguish from the Body of Christ the power of PRIDE, of whom the original rebellious practitioner is the enemy himself.
Re the Parable of the Virgins, I do see the possibility of a dual message here that speaks to me. I find it interesting that the Foolish virgins, who had taken NO OIL with THEIR LAMPS, were told told by the Wise virgins to GO TO THOSE that sell and BUY OIL for THEMSELVES.
But the Wise TOOK OIL with THEIR LAMPS. I can see here that the Wise had adequate oil with them from the get go. They had no need to constantly replenish it or worry about maintaining the level of it. So where did this adequate amount of oil originally come from? From the GIVER of oil, maybe? I personally get a glimpse in this Parable of the Virgins of eternal security from the moment of Salvation when we are sealed by the Holy Spirit for those who are willing to take that and trust in that--as opposed to those who choose to take it upon themselves to maintain their Salvation through their own unreliable efforts. (Sort of a snooze, you lose deal.) When one knows they've already been GIFTED with all they need, one is always prepared--even when they take a snooze themselves (both groups slumbered and slept) BUT when one needs to "go out and buy more", or "go out and do more" to be secure or ready, how can one ever be prepared?
While this Parable may not be written directly to US, there is something there FOR us, imo.
Blessings and Maranatha!

Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood... ~shalom~ this stuff is the biggest 'trip' i've EVER been on,...and it stones me to my soul, The Love of God, Wow wee,...its outta this world. . . . * You folks are beautiful, i give thanks For Sure
DeleteTony, I so appreciate your uniquely whimsical and joyful ways and I know our Lord Jesus loves having such a merry heart stayed on Him. Many Blessings, Brother:-)
DeleteThank you Sheila, and how wonderful re the line of angels :)
DeleteThat was wonderful Sheila regarding the 10 Virgins. I liked the verse you chose also as it was so applicable and right.
DeleteHey Sheila, don't you have a dream or word about monoliths a few months back?

DeleteJoining Tony here, that's an interesting and insightful take on the parable of the 10 virgins, Sheila!

ReplyDeleteMy thoughts why 'Once Saved Always Saved' is a false teaching:
First we need to understand Passover (Pesach).
The entire House of Israel in their divisions along with a mixed multitude witnessed the 10 plagues, were brought out of Egypt, crossed the Red Sea (Sea of Suf) experienced Mt. Sinai and the Torah being given--as a whole these people were 'Saved'. But then, individually, they were destroyed except for who? Joshua and Caleb for they entered the 'Promised Land'. How many people were saved when they left Egypt, crossed the Red Sea, stood before Mt. Sinai? How many actually entered the 'Promised Land'?
Ezekiel Ch 3: 20 Similarly, when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and commits wickedness, I will place a stumblingblock before him - he will die; because you failed to warn him, he will die in his sin; his righteous acts which he did will not be remembered; and I will hold you responsible for his death.
(how is this man Righteous since YESHUA had no yet come? He obeyed Torah).
Ezekiel Ch 33: 13 So if, after I tell the righteous person that he will surely live, he begins trusting in his own [former] righteousness and starts committing crimes; then none of his [former] righteous actions will be remembered; on the contrary, he will die for the evil deeds he has committed.
(how is this man Righteous since YESHUA had no yet come? He obeyed Torah).
Ezekiel Ch 33:18 When the righteous person turns away from his righteousness and commits wickedness, he will die because of it.
(how is a person Righteous since YESHUA had no yet come? They obeyed Torah).
(notice the Righteous man turned away by his own choice--he was Righteous, not a sinner--so he alone destroyed his own salvation)
Now let's examine what is taught in the B'rit HaDasha (New Testament)
DeletePeter warns:
Pete Ch 22: 21 It would have been better for them not to have known the Way of righteousness than, fully knowing, to turn from the holy command delivered to them.
22 What has happened to them accords with the true proverb, "A dog returns to its own vomit." Yes, "The pig washed itself, only to wallow in the mud!"
Yes, we are very much saved by Grace through Faith in YESHUA alone--but when we become saved the 'Torah' is written on our hearts and in our minds:
Hebrews Ch 8: 10 "'For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Isra'el after those days,' says ADONAI: 'I will put my Torah in their minds and write it on their hearts; I will be their God, and they will be my people.
This is why the Gentiles are Grated in to the 'Broken Branch'. And remember:
Leviticus Ch 24: 22 You are to apply the same standard of judgment to the foreigner as to the citizen, because I am ADONAI your God."
Because
Ephesians Ch 2: 19 So then, you are no longer foreigners and strangers. On the contrary, you are fellow-citizens with God's people and members of God's family.
(which means Leviticus Ch 24: 22 applies to any Gentile grafted in and standing under the 'New Covenant)
We don't earn our 'Righteousness' for Abraham's faith was counted as Righteousness. Obedience leads to Righteousness--for YESHUA was obedient even until death and HE alone makes us Righteous.
Luke Ch 1: 5 In the days of Herod, King of Y'hudah, there was a cohen named Z'kharyah who belonged to the Aviyah division. His wife was a descendant of Aharon, and her name was Elisheva.
6 Both of them were righteous before God, observing all the mitzvot and ordinances of ADONAI blamelessly. (notice they observed 'All' the mitzvtot and ordinances--the Torah--blamlessly. How? When they did sin they went and made the proper sacrifices).
Now that the final Sin offering been offered (YESHUA), we can live blamelessly as well, observing all the mitzvah and ordinances--the Torah--that is now written in our hearts and minds, for when we sin we have the ONE SAVIOR who forgives us our sins--and what is sin according to the Book of 1 John
1 John 3: 4 Everyone who keeps sinning is violating Torah - indeed, sin is violation of Torah.
Example: a man, say at the age of thirty, comes to know Salvation. He lives a righteous life for twenty years. Then at the age of sixty, he begins doing evil after evil, even though he knows the truth. He is warned time and time again to return back to righteousness but refuses and becomes more evil than he was before knowing the Truth the first time. Is he still 'Saved'? or will he be destroyed? According to Ezekiel Ch 3 and Ch 33 he will be destroyed--a dog to its own vomit. This man cannot say 'I was saved so I'm always saved'. Will a court hold a man innocent who was once a law abiding citizen but turned to crime? No.
DeleteTo finish this off, because there is a great deal more that can't be written in a comment, let's look at the Church of Laodacia:
Revelation Ch 3: 16-15 "I know what you are doing: you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were either one or the other!
16 So, because you are lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth!
(now this is a 'Church')
From a Jewish stand point, beginning with the Exodus, a person can experience the truth and still be destroyed--and a wicked person can turn from his wicked way and be delivered (Ezekiel)
James teaches us that 'Faith' without 'Works' is death. Once we are delivered, and because we know the Torah is now written on our hearts and in our minds, we do begin 'Working' our faith as a slave slaving for his master. By doing so we keep our hearts pure in the works of Salvation and live as the Torah teaches us to live--not so-called Legalism as many believe but as a 'Gift' to live in Holiness and not according to a false 'Grace' or the ways of the 'World'. We are saved by 'Grace' but so was Moses, and he received the Torah which instructed him how to live--Moses and the Children of Israel did not bypass Mt. Sinai after being saved and allowed to live according to what they thought Righteousness was--they were given and taught the Torah by ADONAI alone and taught how to live and act--and the same teachings still apply to this very day. But as with Moses, those who received the truth rebelled and were destroyed--even Moses, due to his sin (striking the Rock) was not allowed to enter the Promised Land.
One saved always saved is a false teaching because it teaches a false grace instead of the true 'Grace'. This is my firm, unmovable position that can't be shaken. Others will disagree and that's alright. Others may read this and understand. Shalom and blessings.
Narrow is the path--broad is the way.
(this is written from a man who has no college degree, doesn't consider himself 'Wise', seeks ADONAI'S understanding and not his own--for my understanding is foolishness)
Paul, I am very sorry how you would not KNOW by your own Holy Spirit telling you that you are truly saved like Romans 8:16 would tell you. I cannot explain how you would write all of the above other than there might be still some uncertainty of faith inside of your soul (whereever that comes from). I can personally only perfectly agree to my brother in Christ, great man of God and brilliant preacher of the 1800s C. H. Spurgeon who said the following about OSAS and the perseverance of the saints:
Delete>>I could never either believe or preach a gospel which saves me today and rejects me tomorrow,-a gospel which puts me in Christ’s family one hour, and makes me a child of the devil the next,-a gospel which first justified and then condemns me,-a gospel which pardons me, and afterwards casts me down to hell. Such a gospel is abhorrent to reason itself, much more is it contrary to the mind of the God whom we delight to serve.<<

If you think your above argumentation all to the very end (which I always do!), it means that God is truly not capable to finish what He began and thus would be not almighty at all in consequence. I know where such an attack would come from. I would truly reconsider what you said here in front of God to whom you will be held accountable one day. MARANATHA! Sincerely yours, Annabel.
Paul, you post seems far out of bounds for the purpose of this site. If you wish to 'evangelize' in depth your teaching go do it on your own site and then post the link here. To grab space, here, because you can, and impinge upon the grace of us all in doing so, demonstrates the hubris and ungodliness you operate from. I so look forward to being free of the stench of the likes of your drivel, amen.
ReplyDeleteMr. Jimboni, I was not evangelizing--I was placing an opinion based on Biblical truth. And of course, you, like numerous others, when who do not agree attack with the words that are not of YESHUA. You have proven yourself well.
DeleteAre we suppose to attack when our views differ or act as adults and discuss the matter with love and patience? Did I not mention my comment was 'My thoughts' and not a doctrine? And as far as taking up space, is it my fault that when one wishes to express a deep matter the limit for words is set and requires additional space? Yes, Mr. Jimboni, you have proven yourself to have the real stench.
Because of you I leave this site with a bad taste--and a grateful wave goodbye and seek true fellowship with others who do not carry your hateful words.
John Ch 7: 1 "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged.
2 For the way you judge others is how you will be judged -- the measure with which you measure out will be used to measure to you.
3 Why do you see the splinter in your brother's eye but not notice the log in your own eye?
4 How can you say to your brother, `Let me take the splinter out of your eye,' when you have the log in your own eye?
5 You hypocrite! First, take the log out of your own eye; then you will see clearly, so that you can remove the splinter from your brother's eye!
Did I say 3 pronged attack? It's more like the non-stop lobbing of grenades! Which can only mean we are soooooo close...
DeletePaul, if you are truly unmovable and unshakable in your stance on the Law and keeping Torah being the "finisher" of your saving faith, then I can only agree with our Brother that you have come to the wrong place. You will surely find more indignation here than anything else at even the least idea of our Redeemer's Finished Work on that Cross falling short in ANY way. Jesus Christ who is GOD COME IN THE FLESH did not die that Death there for the sin of the world just to be no more powerful than bulls and goats that could only cover man's sin temporarily and had to be repeated--religiously--UNTIL HE PAID THE FULL PRICE ONCE AND FOR ALL and there is NO MORE SACRIFICE!!! This is the point of All Scripture--OT and NT.
And at some point, you WILL be moved and you WILL be shaken to a full acknowledgement of exactly Who HE truly is and what HE truly accomplished as not only the AUTHOR, but the FINISHER of our faith as well. And we will be unmoved and unshaken in our refusal to turn back to the Law--it has NO saving power. My prayer is always for all who are willing to come to this realization sooner than later. (Rom.10:4 KJV) Maranatha!
Paul, should you deign to revisit, let me be clear. I had no argument against the content of your post, in mine. That you would respond as if I had further shows your motive which is not the Truth but conflict argument and elevation of your self-satisfied philosophies which umbrage the Gospel and are a stench to all with discernment. This site is not the place to debate OSAS in depth or any other Central Tenet of The Gospel of Grace. This site it to fellowship around the Coming of Our Lord in light of it's Moment since The Great Wonder of 9/23/17, i.e. Revelation12:1-2. When you, or any other, oversteps the purpose of this fellowship and use it as a convenient opportunity to spout heretical nonsense that is an anathema and a direct attack against the Person of Christ by sowing discord and heresy. Your absence here, and your vitriol, until you are repentant, is celebrated by myself, Maranatha!
DeleteTo all my precious siblings in Christ.... feeling called to very cautiously interject a bit here. Christian UNITY is very important to God. Christian TRUTH is also very very important. Both are important. So as a friendly and humble reminder from one who has failed so often over the years (and still do).... let all of our words be spoken in love. Let all that we do be done in love (1 Cor 16:14). A very wise person once said they will know us by our love for one another (John 13:35). I too believe that nobody can be snatched out of the powerful and loving hands of our Savior once we are saved, but I also know from experience that God has a way of turning our wrong doctrine right through the help of others, if only we present our views in love. None of us have it all perfectly figured out but he has us mixing together here to grow closer to Him and gain in our knowledge and love. So my issue is not with views being expressed or those expressing them, it's just that I for one believe that anything we write and share about these things should be overflowing in love (1 Cor 13:2).
DeleteThat is all... please carry on looking up! Maranatha and I love you all. : )
Hey family, I've got an urgent prayer request. My family is going through something extremely ugly right now. I have a father who's an alcoholic on top of having aspergers like myself, PTSD, and a bad temper. He's a decent man otherwise, but a recent event pushed one of his buttons and made him fly off the handle at my little sister and he said some things that aren't going to be able to be unsaid. I don't know how the rest of this is going to play out at all. He's not violent but when he gets like this he can be so unbearably toxic you'd just wish a bomb would hit you. Events like this are thankfully few and far in between, but this is the worst one so far.
ReplyDeleteJust please pray for my family and I, but especially him and my little sister. It seems like the devil is trying to make our last moments on this fallen world as laborious and painful as possible. Curiously enough yesterday(The sixth) I saw an uncanny and highly detailed image in the clouds of a heavily pregnant woman in a position to give birth, I took it as encouraging sign of our near delivery and that things were going to get rocky beforehand.
Samuel, I will pray .. I haven't read all your said, but I feel for you and am sorry this has happened.
DeletePrayers up Samuel for your family situation! Things cannot be unsaid, but they can be forgiven, so I will pray for our Lord to intervene on your behalf and heal these wounds in your loved ones. And TY for sharing your cloud visual. Keep Looking UP! He IS coming:-)
DeletePraying for your loved ones!
DeleteDear Samuel, are you both still living with your father? I stand in prayer with Sheila B. then. If you are able to withdraw please do. A Christian's home should be an oasis and dwelling place of peace as we have to deal with a world of strife and chaos outside anyway. Furthermore, I'd like you to check out Kerri Rivera on YouTube on all forms of autism spectrum and how to heal it. Healing IS POSSIBLE already in the natural not only in the spiritual. Blessings to you, brother! Love, Annabel
DeleteSamuel K, I will pray for you and your family situation too.

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1
Love this verse!
Delete"His appearance is as sure as the dawn. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth."
ReplyDelete(Hosea 6:3)
Amen, Jeova, TY! Great thought to enter another day on:-)
DeleteJeova', your reminder reminds me of the teaching I shared a while ago which lies at the heart of the Encouragement within Rayati's tale. In the Otiot, a pre-Hebrew, pictograph language unpacked by Alan Horvath, in my experience, the layout of "wait upon the lord" (Isaiah 40:31) consists of three symbols: A circle split by a horizontal line (The Horizon); a 'Y', or sorts (a Tent peg); and a praising stick-figure (spirit-filled man). That 1st symbol, Embodies everything about the celestials which Demonstrate Our Abba's Lordship and Artistry as well as the Centrality of our world, to it all. From Rayati's perspective, eager for His Arrival as she waits, her understanding that HIS Nature *Ensures* that, "His appearance is as sure as the dawn. " is the Truth from where Rayati draws peace, confidence and strength, while he lingers and she wonders, amen.
DeleteNice, Jimboni and a calming inspiration to remember the business of our watchfulness, not letting the distractions of defense lead to a neglect of THAT field of vision:-) TY and Blessings!
DeleteAlso, just had the HS nudge to point out to me something worthy of NOT overlooking:
DeleteSPRING showers!
(just sing-in in the rain, I'm happy again, ...)
Promise #98:
ReplyDeleteI have cancelled all your sin and you alive in Jesus Christ.
Colossians 2:13-14
"You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh.
He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us;
and he has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross..."
Paul the Apostle tells us in Colossians 2:13-14 in no uncertain terms that God the Father has cancelled all our sin, forgiven all our trespasses, and has even blotted out any charges against us! Because of the cross of Jesus Christ, every sin, every failure, every mistake that we have ever made has been taken away and nailed to the cross!
Not just our past sins, but our present sins and our future sins. The finished work of Christ has dealt a death blow to sin and death in our lives. We are now new creatures in Christ. The old has passed away and all things have become new! If you struggle with sins of the past, be encouraged! Hebrews 8:12 tells us that God chooses to remember our sins no more!
The once and for all sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will cleanse us from our guilty conscience. Because of the price that Jesus paid, all of our sin has been cancelled and we have now been made alive in Him. My prayer today is that each one of us would simply believe this to be true.
I pray that we would not listen to condemning thoughts that would cause us to live in the past. May we with boldness agree with the words that Paul the Apostle proclaimed in Romans 8:1 which says... "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."

Nora, Thank you, once again. As we work to fathom how Our Lord will 'Balance' Mercy, Justice and Grace, in the face of the ungodly acts of those who called upon His Name, earlier, it is critical that we understand a couple of things. First, that the Unequalled Cross of Christ is Sufficient, hallelujah!, and second, the Holy 'Balancing' involved, (a language construct only, surely, not what actually happens, I trust) we are fools to follow any line than that of King David's rejoinder for such Mysteries: It is too wonderful for me! Don't be a grape and don't folly around trying to decipher that which is in the bosom of The Lord. We are wise to completely Accept What Was Given, As Delivered In His Word, as you remind us well, Nora. Maranatha!
