You guys have taught me alot. I genuinely thank you all.

The "interpretation" thing gets me. I feel like I see so many "interpretations" that seem solid but I am not sure which is correct.

I know in the beginning a few people thought or assumed I was being Naive or joking but I am not. I don't understand almost all of this but I want to

Any additional info is appreciated :)

I think this is a pretty important story. And the reason Christianity gets attacked so much by the left. Surprisingly, Islam somehow is treated differently by the left.

Regardless…. Let us not be lead into temptation nor let us be taken over by those that seek pleasure from us.
 
What i find perplexing is when he allows the beast to overcome the saints and kill them all basically, to give the beast some sort of false Godliness and to prove he is like The Most High? I dont get that. And that those remaining WILL be forced to take the mark…. Which means there will no longer be a choice….

Sometimes i wonder if we are actually living in that 1000 yr time where the beast is freed to tempt and pillage one last time….

What if, when Jesus came back after being crucified was actually determined to be his 2nd coming??? Ive been told by some that was his 2nd coming as he had been here once before….. so if thats the truth, then it hurts my heart….

I cry out to God alot about how i hate being on this earth… it sucks, the death, crimes and overall evil that surrounds us on the daily, ive asked many times what my purpose is and why he chose to put me in the family i had growing up and why i am the person ive turned out to be, he sometimes answers me and other times im left wondering and just empty trying to discover why…..

Sure to worship him, but why did u make an entirely new race after theee 1/3 angels themselves decided to turn their backs on you and get cast out of heaven, yet they still have access to go to and from…..

Man, its like you are a mirror image of me.

I think the same things. Precisely. If it makes you feel any better. I wonder these precise questions sir.

You nailed it on the head. You and I are inseparable in this aspect. Maybe you think you are alone? You are not.
 
Friends are we in end times.

I feel like we are.

I feel like this is the end of the world. Am I foolish or deceived.

Tell me your thoughts please. No disrespect or trolling meant. Im serious...
 
I believe that Jesus could come at any moment. I just pray that all of my friends and family are ready. The Tribulation period is no joke. One day the Lord will come with a trump and the voice of an arch angel to call up believers and Those left behind will have to endure 7 years of Tribulation. We have been warned and called to repentance. Salvation is available now but will be hard to receive during that time. I pray all who read this will receive Jesus now before it's too late

Are you a parent? And how old are your kids?
 
"If" this is true.

Would the next Pope potentially be the "antichrist"

I don't know what the specifics are why it is rumored that the current pope may resign, but it is on several news networks. Not that, that is saying all that much

But, maybe?

Hey @heavyiron

I notice you follow the Israel news very closely. I have watched several of your videos.

Can you tell me what the significance of it is. I am watching the video now, but I feel like you focus specifically on these and I want to know why please.

I also know you are well educated or versed in this area, which is why I am asking you. I dont understand. Thank you :)

Almost ALL of end time prophesy revolves around Israel and Jerusalem. Keep in mind Israel didn't exist for almost 1,900 years therefore prophesy about it could not be fulfilled during that time. There are some minor exceptions but they are not relevant. Once Israel became a nation and survived multiple wars most Bible teachers realized the significance of that nation.

The basic take is we are all like "know it all teenagers". We want to do things OUR way. God doesn't force us to do things HIS way. This is the whole good vs evil experiment. God's way or the devil's way. The entirety of the universe gets to see what the devil, sin, and mankind's forces destroy. In the end, the entire universe will live under God's will, knowing full well what happens if it doesn't. There will be no argument that there is a better way, sin is ok, etc.

IDK if you remember or heard of Family Bible Radio.

I used to listen to them pretty regularly. Harold Camping hosted part of the show. He was pretty good at doing a question and answer format. Ppl would call in with questions and he would answer. Was pretty good and I learned a lot.

He then freaked me out and just about a lot of ppl when he predicted the end of days, Rapture on the 24May2011.

I was pretty scared. He had the time line worked out based on scriptures.

Well, it didn't happen and they went out of business.

Jehovah Witness' planned for the end of days in 1975...that didn't work out either.

I suppose, when the bible says "like a thief in the night" and no one know the day or hour" it is true.

I don't believe any time or date, or that anyone knows.

I feel like their is so much that matches Revelations right now that we are very close though

I'd never believe anyone that gives a date. I don't even fathom how anyone can look themselves in the mirror and make a date, when it clearly says "thief in the night".

However I feel like alot matches for it to happen in the near future.

I can't believe the state of the world and this Country right now. It's sickening.

I feel the same way. 100%.
 
On todays episode of Countdown 2 Eternity, we’ll discuss the dissolving of Israel’s current government in preparation for a new election. Lapid is the new prime minister and BIG change is on the way? Is this the end of the left for Israel? What about Ezekiel 38-39? What implications does this have for Russia?

Yes, setting precise dates is a mistake for sure but I think we have clues that should help us NOT be taken like a thief in the night.

"But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night." ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:1-7

We need to keep watch and be ready and stay sober so that we will sense the time.

A lot has changed since 2011. Blockchain has been proven to work and we are now seeing the advent of Central Bank Digital Currency. Basically programmable money so if you post something on social media that they don't like they will be able to ding how you buy and sell. Or maybe they will cut you off after spending so much money on oil and gas or whatever the demon is to them in our future. This will create control over all buying and selling.

Additionally, we are seeing globalism being accepted like no other time in our history. Covid was the emergency that caused almost all nations to work in lockstep together. Controlling what we buy and sell and getting all the world's nations onboard is now a reality. Amazing times that we live in.

Almost every nation kowtowed to the china flu operators. I was surprised not to see more of the "civilized" nations push back. But nope...everyone went along with it. Even hardcore dictators. If that doesn't point to a select few pulling the strings, I don't know what does.

I hope someone gets the china kowtow joke above. :sneaky:
 
I'm caught between two lines of thinking in the coming times. Do I try and make my OWN decisions about how to "fix" everything that comes along (financial crisis, etc). Or...do I have faith that the Lord will provide?

Thoughts?

Pray for wisdom and understanding and execute.

Can you be more specific? I have made some very tough decisions financially in 2022. Decisions I would have never made in the past.

God helps those who help themselves…

We can pray for his continued grace and blessings in what we do.

We have free will.

Take the path straight and narrow.
