The judgment is for "the nations" gathered before Him at His return and the judgment is based on their treatment of "[His] brethren." The idea that "His brethren" refers to all humanity is not scriptural. There are some who are "the children of the evil one." These are not His brethren. Jews are His brethren according to the flesh.

The sheep enter "the [earthly] kingdom" which is "from [or since] the foundation of the world". Our calling is from "before the foundation of the world" and is in heavenly places. (Eph 1:3-4; Eph 2:6)

We know from Zechariah and Isaiah (as well as from the New Covenant) that Israel will serve as priests for the gentiles (as God had intended in the Old Covenant).

There might be an application to all people in the words "the least of these My brethren," but the Lord certainly doesn't consider all men His brethren. Likewise, simply visiting or feeding the sick, the jailed, the poor, etc. will never merit salvation. During the Tribulation (the subject of Matt 24 and Matt 25) helping Israel or Jews will be something only those who have the Spirit of God will do.

Two cents.

The one time when we know there will be "two lines" at a "judgment" is the sheep / goat judgment. Those who belong to Christ will go to one side and those who don't will go to the other side. This only affects those left alive at the end of Daniel's 70th week. Those who are His will enter into the Millennial Kingdom / The Lamb's Sabbath Rest. Those who are not His will shed their flesh and wait for the Great White Throne judgment at the end of the MK where they will be judged according to their works. Hint - it won't go well for them.

"Soon. Very soon. See that portal? Go look through it.If you live to be that age, there is a great possibility that you will be in the catching away of the saints."

This doesn't strike me as from God (just as Begley's "there's a 50/50 chance" doesn't strike me as being from God).

I am very careful with this kind of stuff. Claiming to speak the words of God is very serious business and something God does not take lightly. It used to invoke the death penalty (in the Law and also in God's actions. See: Hananiah, Jer 28:15-17).

I cringe when I see billboards that suppose to speak for God ("See you in church on Sunday!" - God (etc.)).

"If you live to be that age, there is a great possibility that you will be in the catching away of the saints."

... Ronnie was born in April 5, 1943. He passed away one or two years ago. So if he had lived to be 70, that would be April of 2013. That is less than 10 months away...so any time before that.

It seems to me that VR2 has this backwards.

Jesus told Ronald Posey that if he lived to be 70, there was a great possibility he might be in the Rapture.

But only if he lived to be 70. So in other words, the Rapture would be after his 70th birthday.

So the Rapture will be April 5, 2013 or sometime after that.

So the Rapture might be two months from now. But it might equally be years after that.

Really, all this tells us is that the Rapture will not be any earlier than April 5 of this year.

Don't all throw the rotten fruit at once.

Thanks for the link,cotts;I enjoy listening to my mp3 player when I walk.Am looking forward to hearing this!

Grace and peace,

God called me to read this book aloud and make it available in audio form at http://cottingham.us/ronnieposey.

If you have limited time, please listen to Chapters 6 through 9, plus Chapter 12. You will be astounded.

As true believers, our time on this Earth is so very short now! Praise God for his bountiful mercy and goodness!

Like Christian Guy says, anytime before April 2013 sounds good to me, too! :)

PRAISE GOD HALLELUIAH

I guess your post sort of confirms everything we have all been feeling in our spirits. The urgency and everything. Anytime before April 2013 sounds good to me!

VR2 » Dear Doves,

Last night I read parts of a book, "Dead To Live Again" I had read about 4 years ago. It's the story of Ronald Posey, who had died three times between May 11 and July 27, 2002, had gone to paradise and back. Ronnie was a dear, loving man, who I had to opportunity to meet and talk with in 2008.

Well, I wanted to read the book again, especially the part that talked about the valley of decision. I love this book and am so lifted up and encouraged when i read it.

I had forgotten a really interesting part of the book, until I read it again last night. When Ronnie was talking and walking with God, he asked Him when He was going to send Jesus to get His bride. Here is what is written in the book:
"Soon. Very soon. See that portal? Go look through it."
I did, and saw the number seventy.
"If you live to be that age, there is a great possibility that you will be in the catching away of the saints."

There is more, much more, but that is one of the high points. In fact, Ronnie told me the book would be way too big if he put everything in there that he saw and heard. It really is an amazing book and my spirit attests and lines up with it, that it is true when i read it. He even described the large table where the marriage supper would take place...what the serving pieces and even the chairs looked like. Beautiful!

Ronnie was born in April 5, 1943. He passed away one or two years ago. So if he had lived to be 70, that would be April of 2013. That is less than 10 months away...so any time before that. Wow! So exciting!

Well, I just wanted to share that. Hope it makes you smile like it does me. The Lord is coming back so soon. I look forward to meeting you all one day very soon.

Oh, also, really quick. Two nights ago, I asked the Lord in prayer if He was coming soon, within a few weeks to rapture the saints. That night I had a dream of my mom, dad, brother and sister and myself in a beautiful place with flowers trees, a gazebo...it was a large patio with cushioned furniture. We were all young and looked so healthy and happy. I saw a beautiful building of wood and glass that the architecture was amazing...it had an inlet where a massive, rustic, wooden table with a large bowl of fruit was placed on top. My sister and I were walking, laughing and both talking at the same time although our lips didn't move. There was a feeling of pure love, peace, joy and tranquility in a beautiful, fragrant place. That is the short version. Although I didn't get the answer as to when, i had a wonderful dream of me and my family in our transformed bodies.

Thank you John and all the Doves for sharing, contributing and bringing more puzzle pieces to the table....we are coming together here in this forum helping to see the big picture. So many people from so many walks of life. I look forward to reading the posts at Five Doves every day. Thanks John for providing this opportunity to grow in faith and insight....it is helping so many in so many ways.

These days are humbling and filled with grace, as we revere, love and honor our Lord, our awesome God, our Creator. Praise, worship and glory to our loving Lord God! What an honor to serve Him.

God bless you all,
VR2
