I have gotten tribulation fatigue.
no, we aren;t there yet. But all these things...this creature in Daniel or Revelation is this country no it;s that country the US must fall. the US won;t fall. the Antichrist is from Rome, from the Middle East, he is a Muslim, he is European. the Jews will hate him . the Jews will love him. It's enough to send you round the bend, And such was never God's intent. He gives us a sound mind, Freedom from fear. Knowing we are already citizens of heaven, and only ambassadors on earth, the ability to both resist temptations and to have some distance from the insanity and darkness.to, ..discern. The entire history of the world as told in the Bible centers on one part of the world. the Middle East.the final site revealed was Jerusalem.Before and after, those kingdoms which had an influence, including captivity, on the Jewish people are the only ones mentioned. Egypt Babylon Medes and Persians, Greece and Rome.We see glimpses of a wider world.. lands below Egypt along the Nile, northern Africa. Europeans as far as Germany and Russia in a very early listing of tribes of peoples. . and through Esther, we learn the Medes and Persians held sway as far as India. Solomon had peacocks and Barbary apes...India and Africa..As far as North and South America, sub saharan Africa,Australia and related islands.. even those lands north of India, while perhaps not well known in Abraham;s time, or the captivity in Egypt, or even possibly Davids time on the throne,,,the spice route and the silk road were certainly well established by Roman times,so you might expect the New Testament writers to have a broader view. But we aren't in the story, We are just those who live carelessly in the isles... that is in comfort and safety... or the direct descendants of those isles.. the British Isles.(possible)They dd have the most widespread empire, ever. lots of isles around the world though. SO maybe as that is a Magog reference, we will lose our careless ways when Gog and Magog are set on fire when their soldiers are.destroyed...as they wait in the mountains to take Israel. Because the isles will burn too. That can be earlier as the promised coalition is basically together at this time.. that war could occur at any time... or later than anyone thinks. As these countries seem to be opposed to the one world order, it would smooth the path for that to arise. and let.s face it.. the US will be part of the latter day Babylon, or so far destroyed as to be unable to respond. As far as the two beasts who arise to take control of the One World Order, aided and abetted by the Harlot, a false worship system,one is from the sea, and one is from the earth. Traditionally that has been Jews and Gentiles... the earth corresponding to the land, to Israel.the sea with its crashing waves and unrest, certainly describes the world as we know it..secular, (pagan) and divided. Some think that the Antichrist is Judas himself, released from the abyss. According to Acts, he "went back to his own place.. (Kerioth)" and then killed himself. He had time to know that Jesus was risen,, to be forgiven. Instead, he assigned himself the worst death possible in Israel, hanging from a tree.a traitor, a sinner of the worst order. It is tempting to have only one son of perdition in the bible, to think he will complete his rebellion.. but son of perdition is a title. just as the 2 messiahs of Isaiah, the suffering servant and the king, are one person, so son of perdition is used for 2 in the bible. the Antichrist has other titles... the first beast, etc.Possibly, according to Judas-as- Antichrist thought, he hung himself to imitate Jesus and fulfill prophecy also. But his body was not whole. he was disemboweled. He wasn't laid in a grave corruption free.I think he just punished himself as badly as he possibly could. The false prophet could be Jewish. it explains smoothing the path of the Antichrist as the (Jewish) messiah.And yes, the world. Well, now I just left out the Pope and other popular figures, He is for the Harlot, friends. though she will get her power from women.He will allow the Catholic church to be subsumed, perhaps even to host it at the Vatican, this new yet very old religion,,, Queen of Heaven. ...and her cup isn;t yet full of the blood of the saints .It may absorb Islam as well.(though with so much of the Islamic world destroyed it may be a moot point) It will definitely have pagan/magical practices. We have seen her rise...through wiccan practices and even the "me too" movement. and the idea that the country must have 50 percent female leadership. to be :fair. I actually discussed with a Spanberger supporter(democratic candidate for Congress, and a woman) who came by the house Saturday why women might not be interested in running for office, why we haven;t "advanced" more. We have. those who work the party system have advanced but in no way do I think a politician is more right for being male or female. This is not a country of quotas, though that is rapidly being used to freeze out whites and Asians...and yes I was nice to the lady. I didn;t scare her to death, which is what Bruce implied to her I would do when he called me outside.. The mahdi, the Muslim messiah, is a transplant from Judaism and Christianity. I know I just insulted the prophet. sorry. the world it seems is absolutely prepared to see this world leader as their messiah. The Antichrist is going to attempt to wipe every Jew off the planet. And as God's judgments fall, he will turn his attention to the Two witnesses, and finally kill them ( in God;s timing of course) He will say he has slain the Antichrist and the false prophet,.desecrate the Temple, and declare himself God.The Antichrist is going to absolutely attempt to wipe every Jew off the planet. We know the broad strokes. Some Christians have tied themselves to one scenario or another leaving behind copies of Bibles and documents or letters to help those left behind.I hope they haven;t made a mess of it.Yes, I still am pre trib, it's the only position that makes sense to me, to think the Christians the Jews ( who come to belief at the very end) the two witnesses and the 144,000 will all go up just as Jesus comes back.. is just ...not in keeping with the word, why separate the wheat and tares if there is no one mortal to repopulate the earth: why have the church when you have 144,000 Jewish men preaching?Some estimate they will bring half of the population of earth to salvation,and most to martyr;s deaths. the whole tribulation period is about finishing up all things with Israel the curses and the blessings the revealing of their longed for Messiah.they have to be prepared. the hearts of the people have to be turned to God. Elijah;s job. whether it is him in the flesh or another man with the same mission.same with the second witness. Moses in the flesh or another with the same mission. I'm not God, I have quit trying to tell Him what to do, the satanic urge to kill all Jews, thus making God a liar (yes Satan still hopes for a loophole, a way out) is not just seen in Israel, or Europe or the UN, It is here in the US too.Those precious souls murdered in Pittsburgh...matter.Jewish attitudes towards all gentiles will continue to harden. having a Temple, whether for worship or for national pride, will continue to grow in support. when you line up Daniel, with the statue of kingdoms, the beasts, and then Revelation with beasts. you once again get the broad strokes, of the same kingdoms that have always plagued the Israelites, try reading back and forth. I think the kingdoms mentioned were obvious to Jews, at least as time passed.Their understanding of these things did not make one thing happen. God did. Jesus did, by breaking into history and paying the price for sin,,,.and with his Resurrection, we are all assured of that eventuality....God moved us into the age of Grace, of being indwelt by the Holy Spirit. sealed, for eternity, How precious is that! It is not time to give up, it is time to stand. souls are imperiled with every lunatic decision made on this crazy planet. I love you, my fellow believers,I love you too unbelievers, and sincerely pray you will listen to that tug in your heart of something missing. Find Jesus, He is eager for you to find him. |
