I appreciate that Ad Hoc. Thanks.

Hi 1to3, Yes, I do agree on the most important truth of Jesus our Lord and Saviour as you said. Now, I`m not sure I understand your question for I have always thought what is happening now is prophesied in Daniel 2 & 7 etc. 

Hello Marilyn; I do not have much free time to go on Worthy to go about such long back and forth debates and I know from previous back and forth with you , that we do not seem to agree and believe many things like who is the bride of Christ and other.  Hopefully we do agree on what's most important, Who Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior IS and that Father,Son and Holy Spirit are manifested  1 in three By you responses to me on this thread dismissing the current events happening to be related to Daniels prophecy for end times events happening now. I have this question left for you Marilyn; Do you also dismiss happening now the following from Daniel?: But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. (Daniel 12:4)  

The first thing that the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil caused was to open the yes of Adam and Eve to their nakedness. They hurried to cover it. This provoked the second thing - an apron of Fig Leaves. If we interpret scripture with scripture, the Fig Tree stands for two things: 1. In Judges 9 it has fruit that is sweet, but unlike the Olive and the Vine, God is not connected to it. Mention of Him associated with the Fig Tree is glaringly missing. 2. Our Lord, in line with the prophets, calls Israel a Vine but the Northern Tribes were deported and the Vine hewn down. What was left was Judah and the small remnant who returned from Babylon are called a Fig Tree by our Lord Jesus. This time, Leaves are in view and fruit is absent. And far from being sweet, it is fruitless and thus cursed by our Lord. Now, the leaves of a Tree are its "Covering" or "Garment" and a Garment in Revelation 19:7-8 are ones WORKS. And Judah's special works were the Law. The only sign given the Church of the closeness of our Lord's Apocalypse is the Fig Tree sprouting Leaves. This in turn is found in Daniel 9 when the Beast "strengthens THE Covenant with Israel". The article is implied, so which Covenant is meant? The Covenant of Law - for it is the only Covenant that has the daily oblation. All this connecting of scriptures is to show one thing - fallen man LOVES LAWS! It is the boast for the Jew. "We keep the Law. So we are JUSTIFIED!" And the Church fared no better. Well has our brother Austin Sparks remarked that we are apt to make new laws, so that we may ask; "does your Church allow chewing gum ... ?". There are ∓613 laws from Moses. There are over 2,400 instructions in the New Testament. But this is not enough! "We want Laws! We want Laws! Pastor ... give us Laws!" "We love the knowledge of Good and Evil!" But the Voice of Jehovah thunders from heaven. "NOT MOSES ....", but My beloved Son ... HEAR HIM! Three great dangers face the Believer; (i) The flesh, (ii) the world system, and (iii) the LAW OF MOSES. Or shall we say, The Law of Moses AND SUPPLEMENTS! And those of you that know your Bible well know that the inspired language of Galatians is very hard. In it are damning statements like "I wish they were cut off!" "You are cursed!" "You have fallen from grace!" ... and so on. The Law is sweet. Righteousness in God's demands is good. Our Lord Jesus was the fulfillment of the Offerings. This God commanded. And their fulfillment was a"sweet savor". But the sweetness came from OBEDIENCE. The Offerings do not give God pleasure (Heb.10:6-8). They are a necessary event FOR SIN. They are there to equal out evil works. What God wants is not a modified version of Romans 7. He desires Romans 8 with Christ, His LIFE, His presence in our human spirits, born again in our spirits (Jn.3:6), being children by rebirth, sons by maturing and above all - to be LED by His Spirit in our spirits (Jn.4:24). It is seldom pointed out but the word for "children" in Romans 8 is a different word in the Greek to that for "sons". "Children" show ORIGIN; GENERATION and show who the FATHER is. The Greek for "sons" addresses THE MATURE WHO INHERIT. Children know WHAT their father does. Sons know WHY their father does what he does. The law is Hagar. Out with the bondwoman!  17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. (2 Co 3:16–18).  

I see Joel 3:6, where the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem are exiled, to correlate with the Olivet discourse in Luke 21:24, where after Israel's desolation, the remnant survivors are carried off to the worlds nations. This time also correlates with when the two witnesses will be prophesying in Jerusalem following its desolation, when the gentiles and the beast are allowed forty two months to tread Jerusalem underfoot (Revelation 11:2). Luke 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Revelation 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
