It really does not matter even if the dark side reads everything (satan knows the Bible, he knows his time is short), just as the Israelites did not understand Gods plan when He told them to go into the promised land....just as the disciples did not understand the sacrifice to be made instead of a conquering King (neither did satan) ... God has hidden his perfect plan and those that watch totally get it. Remember, Jesus very clearly said there will be many “anti-Christ” who come at the time of the end. It’s not just the news, rumors of wars, weather, pestilence that we watch for .... that is why He told us to discern. The Holy Spirit lives within us to keep us alert, but we are to wear the whole armor and remain watchful in prayer, 24/7. The irony is that even at the crucifixion and now at the end, satan is following Gods perfect plan for our redemption, he has no choice nor can he stop it, just like at the cross. Yes, there will be those that follow him, lost souls for all eternity, very sad indeed. Thanks for the great replies everyone ! And here's part 2 of Sandy's message. Pastor Sandy is basing much of his timing on Noah's flood beginning on the 17th of Cheshvan (November 4th). The Rabbi's of old were not in total agreement. It is said that the Talmudic sage Rabbi Eliezer established that date but Rabbi Joshua's interpretation was that the rains started six months later on the 17th of Iyar. I feel more comfortable with a springtime rapture based on Song of Solomon. Take note that Iyar 17 (April 29th) is seven days before Iyar 24 which is Ascension Day, ten days before Pentecost. Noah went into the ark seven days before the Judgment began. The angels in Acts said Jesus would return in the same way they saw Him leave. Maybe around Ascension Day? I'll keep an eye out for November - the sooner the better. :yes: Indeed, doctrines don't save. I have been known to toggle back and forth on occasion! Whether he is right or wrong I admire any willing to be that forthright with their convictions! I know I claimed 2020 as the year for the Rapture and still strongly in that statement! Again, I wait to hear from the Lord on the matter! He certainly can't be called lukewarm! TR Iyar?????? Oh well, guess the Rapture won’t happen this year after all.... LOL ... poor Eeyore ... nah, we still have GREAT expectations for the rapture clouds in 2020! :whistle: I'm definitely a springtime Rapture person myself but lately this whole vaccine thing is throwing a monkey wrench into my thinking on that. They want to start injecting people as soon as this November with whatever is in that that unholy thing that's suppose to change people's DNA and RNA and basically give people some kind of spiritual lobotomy so they can't get saved now or during the tribulation. If that's the case and they plan on getting everybody in America injected by Springtime then it would make sense to me that God would call us home right before they start injecting people. Ephesians 1:13 KJVS Ephesians 4:30 KJVS Hebrews 10:10 KJVS Hebrews 13:5 KJVS 2 Timothy 2:11-13 KJVS Colossians 2:13-15 KJVS Titus 1:2 KJVS Titus 3:7 KJVS John 10:27-30 KJVS I love reading God's promises. Once we believe and are sealed with His Holy Spirit, nobody can take us from God's hand and prevent us from becoming heirs and sons of God when he calls us home. Come quickly Lord! :prayer-hands: :flyup: I’m pondering all the clues ... The Son of man is coming like it was in the days of Noah ... with eating, drinking and marrying. Even during this COVID virus people are still doing this. But the days of Noah were also filled with violence and wickedness as well. And we are seeing our society breaking down daily and once the election winner gets announced ... there is no doubt about it ... the violence will be ((magnified)). Also the last days were described like the days of Lot ... we are seeing the push for the gay and transgender agenda being “normalized”. Luke 17:26-30 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. Then we have the verse ... while they are saying peace and safety sudden destruction comes upon them and they say not escape ... Here’s a thought ... During the G/M war attack ... the Lord is going to use a few methods to destroy Israel’s enemy. Great earthquake(s), fire and brimstone from heaven is another means, which will cause total confusion and the armies will attack each other ... To sum this all up with the clues ... there is no doubt we are in the days of Noah, days of Lot and hearing the false peace and safety ... just wondering if we need to also see or do we leave on the day the Turkish invasion occurs before going home? The war is a quick one ... only a 1 day or less ... will Erdogan’s pursuit for taking Jerusalem be next month when America is in such turmoil from the election results? :unsure: ————- Regarding the push for the early roll-out of the vaxx ... is it for a certain group of people first? I recall an article a few weeks ago they wanted to target the healthcare workers, the police force, etc. claiming “they are in danger every day ... and ... we care”. But I wonder now if its MORE than that. Perhaps their agenda is they want to knock off these dedicated workers from the scene ... it might explain why when they give out the vaxx to the rest of the common folks ... they will go door to door with the military force vs. ordering people to their local doctor/clinic? :unsure: Geri, the recent news has the vaccine getting ready for all nursing home patients administered by CVS and Walgreens by the end of Nov. We've got to be close!
His sheep know Him and we follow him (Jesus) and He gives us eternal life ... all that the Father gave Him, He will loose none of them. So thankful that our time here is almost over on earth :prayer-hands:
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: [12] If we suffer, we shall also reign with him : if we deny him, he also will deny us: [13] If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; [14] Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; [15] And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: [28] And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. [30] I and my Father are one.
And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
