@NConly I do love Psalm 2 with its contrast between the conspiring kings of the earth and God's statement: "Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion" (verse 6).

1 John 3: 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

well . . . I have nothing for Thanksgiving, but have been working on various 3D printed projects with the intent of possibly selling them on Etsy. I have been learning how to 3D print for the last year and a half and have finally learned how to print some nice things. I would be interested to know what you think of them (please be honest).The cats can be customizable and the medallion is a coat of arms I made for a family member . . . . At the very least I have fun designing and printing . . . Have a great Thanksgiving!!! Grace and Peace . . . Ray

I think it's bad to play semantics. No matter what you want to call him, I think Revelation is quite clear there WILL be a man who rules the earth that will be opposed to everything of God. He will commit unspeakable crimes against the human race and massacre millions of believers. I think Anti-Christ is a fitting term.,

Hi @existential mabel I saw this thread and thought, Ephesians 6...........

one thing for sure the world is very troubled the globe over unlike any other time in human history is it a 'coincidence' that with the age of the internet and social media we can all know what is going on around the globe and even watch it in real time... the only peace to be had is in God's word and to limit the worldly influences.. the main stream news is not edifying to say the least. the only truth to be had is in God's word...the key events to be aware of is Israel they are central to end times.

yes the blood of Jesus is key to Salvation..its hard to 'see' this because life gets ever more complex and stressful....when the Lord made it all so simple and lets remember who the author of confusion is, well it is not Jesus Christ that is for sure it is Satan.

yes the keys there is a main stream religion that seems to think that they have the keys... http://en.academic.ru/pictures/enwiki/67/Coat_of_arms_of_the_Holy_See.svg

i would like to add that its the blood of Jesus Christ that is important. once we believe WHAT Jesus Christ did for us. we are sealed with the promise of the Holy Spirit Ephesians 1:13. Romans 10:9-13 is another good scripture. Jesus Christ died and shed his precious blood for all of our sins, yes all of our sins past present and future sins. the power is in the blood of Christ. We are 'under the blood' the stain of our sin is now covered by the blood of Christ. Jesus Christ has redeemed us he has paid in full for all of our sins. put simply (well hopefully!) this now means that God no longer sees us as sinner's who are under his wrath...God now sees imputed righteousness because of what Christ did for us. we are now children of God. its the blood that has the power to save not good works, good character, generous donator of time and money etc. although all of these things are good to do.anyone who thinks that they will automatically (if indeed they give much thought to that) go to heaven when they die is gravely mistaken. good works are good to do, but not because we mistakenly think it will get us to heaven. good works once we are saved are the fruit of salvation. we now do good works because of What Jesus Christ did for us. and our time remaining here is to go and spread the gospel of salvation which is what i am attempting to do here..not easy! as i am not naturally one for 'sticking my neck out! ' anyone outside of this God sees as the child of sin aka the devil. and therefore NOT children of God. Disclaimer: i dont imagine i will cover all the salient points but i am doing my best! oh and i havent done a blogg before ...all i want to do is to get this message out here! so excuse the rustic quality!

I heard Dumitru Duduman speak in Denver sometime in the late 80's, I had heard of him and had to travel quite a few miles to hear him because I wanted to hear him for myself, and can say that he is a very strong Christian and seems like a very good and sincere man that does not glorify his himself above God when he speaks. When he speaks he speaks with power and talks only of God and what he has been given from him.

Matt 23: 39 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. This verse makes me think they will have to accept Jesus before they can be saved.

sorry i havent been around much, having a tough time at the moment but God...i am amazed at the number of people who have viewed thus far. it was a moment i ran with and hence the blogg not one for doing bloggs. it was a Holy Spirit moment i believe. i still have much to learn and do struggle with understanding things but the Holy Spirit really helped me to do this blogg

Whatever involves Israel will involve the whole world, there will be no escape from it for anyone, everyone will be on one side or the other in the end, and almost all will be against Israel and end up being destroyed for it just when it seems that Israel is going to be destroyed instead. This is what I expect to see, but how soon I know not. (and I don't discount that I may be wrong)

Those are all really nice. This week, for the first time I saw a 3D printer, but have no idea how to use it. You must be super pleased with what you did. Thanks for sharing

that is helpful i wasnt sure of the detail of when and what in regards to the Day of the LORD + The Day of God that is very helpful thanks

@existential mabel John 3.16 indeed contains such wonderful, ever-relevant Gospel truth to be proclaimed!

Hi mabel, I`m on your blog, hey what a difference. What a great message, so clear and so needed in today`s busy, noisy and complicated world. Just the simple truth as you have written. So well done. Marilyn.

That's pretty much what I thought, but I figured I should ask in case my knowledge is lacking.

My thoughts are in line with what Revelation mentions at Revelations 11:18b how man have been ruining the earth for so long. The Ozone is just about gone, pollution is everywhere etc. Therefore I'm not surprise we are having climate issues. And man can't correct the problem. That's why Almighty God stated he will ruin those ruining the earth.

I think realizing where we are in the stream of time can help in staying awake spiritually. Just as with literal wakefulness, when you know when something is about to happen we tend to be more aware/awake in anticipating it.

ok so everyone who turns to God receives eternal life. i was just unsure because in the Millennium Kingdom there would be no rapture which is the way the church age saints received their glorious bodies.

yes maybe there is some fruit coming at long last ... Paul was/is mostly for the Gentiles who become the body of Believers. however if a Jew did or does believe WHAT Christ did for us on the cross then they are also in the Body of Believers = One Body John was to the Messianic Jews (as i understand it) and i do wonder if that was why John had his 7 Churches and Paul had his 7 Churches. but like i say i would need to do a study.

Wonderful truths there mabel. You explain it so clearly.

the Lord will have got the Full Title deeds to this earth. These were lost by Adam and Eve and opened up the door to Satan..which is why Jesus Christ made a sacrifice of himself for ALL of our sins. however the one sin he did not die for was unbelief. God will send no one to hell its by their unbelief that people will go to hell. God is a loving God and he sent his only Begotten Son to die for us All but our part is to accept and believe WHAT Christ did for us and to understand that we are sinners in need of a Saviour. it is the Free Gift of Grace through Faith that we are Saved

Yes, and then Rev. 20 is the millennium and great White Throne, and 21 & 22 are the NHNE. (New Heavens and New Earth)

He's Lord of Other One also

Hi mabel, Now that opens up an interesting point, was the Lord a king and priest in the OT. I believe He was king - King of glory, King of heaven, King of the Ages, but not a priest. You see he had to have offered Himself as the sacrifice to be the priest. That is why we read of the Father appointing Him as priest, in Ps. 110: 4 which is after Jesus ascended, (v. 1). As to your other thoughts I do agree that man`s religious system has joined hands with the state and that is why all the laws are coming in to support the GLB etc.

The Epistle to the Hebrews is a great guide to these issues, how titles and types and shadows come gloriously together in Christ.

@NConly Interesting also that Hebrews 1 speaks of the Lord Jesus as having been 'appointed heir of all things'.

the church age the age of Grace is a parenthesis in the time line...hence why the tribulation is such a key event because when that kicks off (shortly to happen imo) then a new dispensation starts. things go back to the 0T it will be as if the church age had never existed. and to get saved in that time will be hard to do for lots of reasons that i wont get into here. suffice it to say anyone reading this and you still sitting on the fence as to whether to believe WHAT Jesus Christ did for you and to understand that you are a sinner and cant save yourselves only Jesus Christ can. your works are as filthy rags to God. Jesus Christ did it all on the cross paid for you in full the debt is cleared. you would do well to accept the gift of grace from God its free and you will be with God in heaven for all eternity and we all have to die sometime..no matter what time in history that we live in. the alternative is a life of separation from God and that is for all eternity...hell in other words .

Hi mabel, Thank you for those good comments as they really opened up the topic more. Well done.

@NConly The Lord Jesus indeed has so many glorious titles. The Epistle to the Hebrews is absorbing reading.

That would be a good study. I did all the names of the tribes of Israel and how they related to the Lord. Tribes - names, position of jewel on the breastplate of the high priest - Jesus.

Hi NConly, Very good find. Yes, I agree. That is another title of the Lord, `prophet, ` plus teacher, evangel, apostle, Shepherd.

people are starting to 'wake up' noticing that something is wrong... There is a lot going on and it certainly is a time of knowing just how our faith is doing, by seeing what is going on around the world that is if we are not depending on the main stream media for our information

There are spirits of the antichrist for why antichrist means "instead of Christ" or to be precise, "instead of the Son". Your theory about the AI can very well be possessed by the spirit of the antichrist to be that antichrist. Indeed, it could very well be robotic even, for how it enters the Holy of Holies and declare himself to be "God". Or it could very well be that they had found the Ark of the Covenant with Jesus's blood still fresh upon it, cloned it and have a clone of Jesus Christ but possessed by the spirit of the antichrist or that clone will be that false prophet that serves with that "beast". Time will tell, but I am hoping in the Lord that I am abiding in Him & His words and that He has made me willing to go too.

You are taking the word "beast" too literally. Beast refers to an animal in modern language, so are you suggesting the AntiChrist will be an animal? I don't see the world following an animal. Actually 2 Thessalonians specifically mentions the "MAN of sin". So yes, the AntiChrist WILL be a man.

Oh, I always have a good laugh at your picturesque language, but it explains it well - pick and mix meets buffet bar. And the `Rome` error comes from a wrong interpretation of the great image. (Dan. 2) They think the `iron` means Rome, when God`s word says it means `strong.` Thus they put the legs and the feet in one (Revived Roman Empire) instead of two kingdoms - Rome and later Islam.

yes its all 'coming along quite nicely' things seem to be falling apart when in fact they are falling into place

I guess I was thinking that in sharing that "opinion" for why I do not see that blog's OP as aligning, you would be able to show how the scriptures I had posted does align by rightly dividing the word of truth towards your opening post for this blog. Anyway, next time, God be willing, I will just refer any questions and opposing views in a thread in the forum.

Yes, lots of nonsensical beliefs around. You must have missed that I said `and just worship the leader, (A/C).` I so agree that so much is converging and escalating causing people to fear, stress and be anxious. Thus, we need to daily look to the Lord to help us through these very troubled times.

Hi mabel, And a big thank you to you for doing this another journey through a different topic. I really enjoy your comments and appreciate all your input. Well done, sis, Marilyn.

Jesus talked about two or three gathered in his name ("For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them" (Matthew 18:20).) That doesn't require being in a "mainstream" church, you are the Church when you gather in his name for either social or worship reasons.

indeed the human condition its easier to blame others etc when our own backyard needs a sort through. yes i am finding main stream church a challenge but where else can i find 'fellowship'

This is the way it way prophesied to be, we end up cursing and blaming God just before the end instead of heeding his warnings, repenting, and turning back to him. This is something I have to be on constant guard against in my own life, one of the things I struggle with. For some reason, its far easier to justify and blame than just simply repent my wrongs and go from there.

Its amazing that we are living in these times of prophecies being fulfilled or heading towards that. God is shaking the world but the world is not listening..including main stream church, sadly… Its interesting because the world in general is getting more and more materialistic and self absorbed and ta da Babylon is a kind of full expression of that. Thanks Maz for this Blogg along with other bloggs as I feel ok to comment on here and not get shot down lol! and its not a huge impenetrable wall of text.

a One World Religion a one World Leader and a One World money system= RESET Interestingly a lot of sci fi fantasy fiction novels use names that are in the bible Shinar, Shem… being one now this is quite a few years back when I had a go at reading one It began in Babylon and looks like it will end in Babylon that 'dream of unity'

Having studied verse by verse the Book of Acts I came to this understanding of when and why God turned to the Gentiles however God is Not finished with the Jews. Hence that is why there is the 7 year Tribulation. A time of Jacob’s trouble. That is why it took me a while to understand the concept of the Body of Christ. And then the replacement theology made it more confusing because they are not the same thing. The Body of Christ – we are grafted in the body of Christ when we believe WHAT Jesus Christ did for us 1 Cor 15:1-4 + Eph 1:13 +Eph 2:8-9 All we need do is to believe no works required! the technology is here now. over in the UK our PM is having to address the issue of Ai Technology as it is causing alarm ... Daniel runs neatly with the book of Revelation.

I meant in the Book of Daniel that God was dealing with the Gentiles. Then in that Gentile time God was still speaking to Israel. eventually after 70 A.D. (fall of Jerusalem) the people of Israel were scattered among the nations. I agree, the times of the Gentiles ruling the world is fast coming to a head and will then be judged.
