  1. Earnestly compare? The Prophesies about the Day of the Lords wrath and the glorious Day of Jesus Return, are as different as chalk and cheese. Two Days of the Lord: 1 Thessalonians 4:16 When the Command is given, when the Archangels voice is heard, when God’s Trumpet sounds, then the Lord Himself will descend from heaven... This prophesies the glorious Return of Jesus to gather His faithful Christian peoples to where He is; in Jerusalem. Matthew 24:30-31, 1 Thessalonians 4:17 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 About dates and times, my friends, there is no need to write to you. For you know perfectly well that the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. While other people are saying: Now we have peace and safety, then; sudden destruction will come upon them.... and there will be no escape. Are these prophesies talking about the same event? The Book of Revelation is where we can find a sequence of the end times events. In Revelation 6:12-17, the terrible Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath, by fire, storms, earthquakes and tsunamis is described, plus over 100 other prophesies also describe this Day of vengeance, His fury and anger against the nations. The Lord is not seen on this Day. Psalms 11:4-6, Habakkuk 3:4 BEFORE the Return! The Day of the Lord’s fiery wrath, as the Son of Man, is the sudden, shocking and unexpected Day, a world changer, which will set the stage for the establishment of a One World Govt. Daniel 7:23-27, Revelation 13:1-8 The faithful Christian peoples, will pass safely through this literal Day of worldwide disaster. We are told what to do: Call upon the Name of the Lord and you will be saved. Joel 2:32, Acts 2:21, Romans 10:13 The Day of the Lord’s glorious Return; As the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Much has to happen before we get to Revelation 19:11-13, where Jesus is described as coming in garments already splashed in blood. Got from His previous Day of vengeance and wrath. Isaiah 63:1-6 and Revelation 14:17-20 It will NOT be unexpected; heralded by God and the angels and NOT a surprise, as He will Return exactly 1260 days, [42 months] after Satan desecrates the Temple. Daniel 9:27b, Revelation 13:5 Jesus destroys the attacking armies at Armageddon by the Sword of His Word and chains up Satan. He just separates the nations at this time. Matthew 25:31-33 Jesus then commences His thousand year earthly reign, on David’s Throne, in the new Temple in Jerusalem. As Isaiah 65:18-25, Zechariah 14:16-21 describe. Conclusion: 1 Thess 4:16 and 1 Thess 5:1-3 are about 2 separate Days, several years apart. Paul; like the other Prophets, doesn’t write them into their correct sequence. The final Judgment happens after the Millennium. Matthew 25:46, Revelation 20:11-15 Then comes Eternity These facts prove that there is a gap of a thousand years between 1 Corinthians 15:23 and verse 24
  2. The Lords fiery judgement on the Middle East: Isaiah 29:1-2 Woe to you Ariel! Ariel, the city where David settled. The years roll on and you carry out your festivals. Yet, I shall reduce Ariel to dire straits. There will be suffering and sorrow, when I make her My fire altar. Ariel – is a pun on the Hebrew word, ‘har’el’ = the Temple burnt offering altar. In this prophecy, it refers to Jerusalem and all the State of Israel. Ezekiel 21:1-7, Isaiah 22:1-14, Amos 2:4-5, Jeremiah 12:14 Isaiah 29:3-4 I will encompass you and besiege you with the visitation of My fiery judgement. You will be brought low, you will hide underground, your voice will whisper out of the earth. The survivors in Jerusalem will shelter in underground bunkers. Isaiah 31:5, Isaiah 6:13, Isaiah 37:31-32 The Lord’s judgement/punishment of the nations, by fire from God’s storehouse, Deuteronomy 32:22,34-35,41-43, will be an explosion on the suns surface, Isaiah 30:26a, Isaiah 66:15-16, Malachi 4:1, Hebrews 10:27, 2 Peter 3:7, Revelation 6:12-17 Joel 2:1-11 Sound the alarm! For the Day of the Lord’s wrath is coming. As the sun rises, a vast host will appear, the like has never been known. It advances in a devouring fire, behind is a leaping flame that leaves a desolate wasteland. Nothing can escape it, nothing can stop it and as it strikes, the earth quakes and the heavens thunder. Who can survive that dark and terrible Day? Isaiah 29:5-8 But, your enemies will become like dust, those ruthless hordes, like blown chaff. Suddenly, in an instant, punishment will come from the Lord Almighty, with earthquakes, thunder, storms and a blaze of devouring fire. All the nations warring against Mt Zion, will vanish, as a dream, like one who is hungry or thirsty; then wakes to find himself empty, so it will be with all those nations attacking Israel. Malachi 4:3 The fire judgement on the Middle East, striking ‘in an instant’, will be a Coronal Mass Ejection: a sunstrike of unprecedented magnitude and is the next prophesied event we can expect, it is the Day that will ‘come as a thief’, sudden and unexpectedly. Zechariah 3:9, Isaiah 10:17 It is quite a different event to what is described about the attack and destruction of Gog or of Armageddon, both to come later, respectively. Psalm 83:13-18, Isaiah 34:5, Isaiah 30:25-28 & 30, Ezekiel 30:1-5, Zephaniah 1:14-18, 2 Peter 3:7 The regeneration of the Middle East: Isaiah 35, Ezekiel 36:8-12, Amos 9:13-15 Isaiah 29:17-21 In a very short time, the Land will be made prosperous again. On that Day, the deaf will hear and the blind will see and the lowly and poor will exult in the Holy One of Israel. The ruthless and evil peoples will be gone, all who practice falsehood will be cut down. Isaiah 66:12-17, Psalms 107:1-43, Jeremiah 33:12-13 Isaiah 29:22-23 Therefore, these are the words of the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, about the House of Jacob: [now: every true Christian believer] This is no time for you to be ashamed, no time to be frightened, for his descendants will praise My Name, when they see what I have done for them. They will stand in awe of the Holy God of Israel. Reference: REB, NIV. Some verses condensed. Christian Israelites, all those whose names are written in the Book, Malachi 3:16-18, be they descendants of Jacob or grafted in, will be gathered into the Land, ”in a very short time” after the Lord’s Day of vengeance and wrath against the nations Ezekiel 20: 34-38, Isaiah 11:11-12, Jeremiah 30:18-24, Rev 7:9
  3. I read all of what you wrote. It is mostly irrelevant. The exact Words of a thousand year Millennium to come, are not Written, but Hosea 6:2 does Prophesy it. What else could Hosea be referring to? Did you look at the article - 7000 years of Gods Plan for Mankind? Many Prophesise tell us that Jesus will come as a King to reign over the world. They are what fooled the Jews in the First Century. Matthew 8:12 ...those born into the Kingdom shall be thrown out... Jermiah 6:10 ...I will give the Land to new owners, those people who have the right to inherit it. I could wonder if you know the truth of how the Jewish State was established? It is a Satanic construct, founded on Communistic principals. Its fate is well Prophesied.
  4. No. Rev 20 simply continues on about what happens after Jesus Returns. Hosea 6:2 is another mention of the 2000 years, [2 days to God in heaven] since Jesus was on earth, then another 'day', of a thousand years; the Millennium and after that cones the final Judgment. Simple, straightforward, logical and what will happen.
  5. Revelation 19:11-21 is a clear description of how the Lord Jesus will return to the earth. He comes as a King and destroys the attackers of Jerusalem. Then what? Revelation 20 says very plainly, six times; that there will be a thousand year period when the resurrected martyrs will be His priests. Only after the thousand years is over, does the final Judgment come. Why are these Prophesies dismissed and glossed over? Regarding the 7000 year Plan of God for mankind, that is proved by the fact of the exact 2000 years from Adam to Abraham, then another exact 2000 years Abraham to Jesus and now almost another 2000 years from His Ascension to His Return. Total 6000 years, then the Millennium and the final wrap up. You can view the additions on my website.
  6. The Book of Revelation has some allegories and the rest literal, things and events which can and will happen. The thousand year reign of Jesus is His reward. It is Prophesied many times, Isaiah 2:1-3, Zechariah 14:16-21, and in several Psalms. But the proof of a final 1000 years of Gods plan for mankind, is in the addition of the given time periods of the Patriarchs and the Kings, etc, then the known date of the Babylonian conquest of Judah, plus the elapsed years from then to now - is almost 6000 years. So we await the dramatic events as Prophesied from Rev 6:12 to Rev 19:11 - in a few years, to come glorious Return of Jesus as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He will reign for the earths Sabbath, then the final Judgment and after that - Eternity.
  7. The posts above show how abysmally clueless most people are about what God has told us thru His Prophets, His plans for our future. Wars – what wars? There is a lot of talk about World War 3, the Gog/Magog War, Armageddon, etc. The actual fact is – they are not wars at all! They are all events where God uses seemingly natural occurrences, such as earthquakes, hailstorms, plagues and sunstrikes to destroy enemy armies. The exception is when Jesus uses the Sword of His Word at His Return. The so called next Mid East war or W.W. 3: Micah 4:11-12 Now many nations are massed against Israel.....They do not know the Lord's purpose, for He has gathered them for the threshing. Psalms 83:13-15 Scatter Your enemies, O God, like thistledown, like chaff before the wind, like a fire raging through the forested hills. Pursue them with Your tempest, terrify them with Your storm winds. 2 Samuel 22:9-16 The earth quaked, shaking because of the Lord’s anger. Smoke and devouring fire issued from Him. He parted the heavens and came down, thick darkness His covering. God thundered from heaven, lightning shafts flashed. Psalms 50:1-3 The Lord is coming, a consuming fire, around Him a great storm rages. Zechariah 9:14 The Lord will appear over them, His arrows flashing like lightning. Isaiah 29:6 Suddenly, in an instant, punishment will come from the Lord, with fire, etc. Habakkuk 3:14 With his own weapon, You pierced his head, as they stormed out to fight Joel 1:15 The Day of the Lord is near, it comes, a mighty destruction from the Almighty Revelation 6:12-17 The Lamb broke the Sixth Seal, there was a violent earthquake ..terrible signs in the heavens. The great Day of the Lord’s wrath has come and who can stand? Isaiah 30:26 The sun will shine 7 times brighter on the Day the Lord saves His people. A Coronal Mass Ejection of unprecedented magnitude will literally fulfil all the graphic prophesies about the forthcoming actual Day of the Lord’s fiery wrath. The Gog, Magog attack: Ezekiel 38:19-22 I shall bring them to judgement with pestilence and bloodshed. I shall pour torrential rain and hailstorms as well as fire and brimstone on them all. In My anger, there will be a great earthquake in Israel that day. Terror will strike the hearts of Gog’s armies and his men will turn their swords against one another. Joel 2:20 I shall remove the Northern peril far from you and banish them into the desert. The stench and foul smell of them will rise up. Armageddon – at the Return of Jesus: Revelation 19:15-21 Out of His mouth came a sharp sword to smite the nations. Zechariah 14:12-15 The Lord will strike with plague all the nations who warred against Israel Daniel 11:45 The Anti Christ will camp between the sea and Jerusalem and there, he will meet his end, with no one to help him. End of the Millennium: Rev 20:7-10 When the 1000 years has ended, Satan will seduce the nations. They lay siege to God’s city. But fire came down from heaven and consumed them. Ref: REB. Verses abridged. What God requires of His people, is trust and faith that He will deliver and protect them. They must be prepared to take advantage of any situation, but with fervent prayer for the Lords deliverance, trusting in His provision for them. Isaiah 30:15 In calm detachment lies your safety, your strength in quiet trust. Psalm 37:1-29 Trust in the Lord and do good, settle in the Land, find good pasture. Commit your ways to the Lord, trust in Him and He will act. His righteous people will inherit the Land and will live there forever. Isaiah 25:9 On that day, the people will say: See, this is our God, we waited for Him, and He has delivered us. This is the God whom we have trusted, we will rejoice. Jeremiah 39:18 I shall keep you safe, you will not be killed, because you trusted in Me.
  8. General Quaani, the Commander of the Iranian Quds Force; has done nothing to prevent Iran’s interests from crumbling,” one of the IRGC officials said. “Allies fell one after another, and he was watching from Tehran. Even worse days might yet be coming.” The sources told the Telegraph that there were rumors that Kahmeini would replace Qaani because of internal pressure. “The situation is bizarre and heated and angry discussions are taking place – the other concern is what to tell supporters in Iran,” the first source told the Telegraph. The first official noted that Iran is at its weakest and that “The resistance project almost no longer exists.” “You don’t need to be an expert to see that we are in our weakest and most vulnerable position in decade, and many acknowledge that here,” the official told the Telegraph. The fall of Iran supported Syria, has dramatically changed the situation in the Middle East. Iran has been humiliated and is now desperate. Their Islamic Mullah leadership, as under intense pressure from dissidents and it is clear to them as well as the rest of the world; their days are numbered. What will they do? What can they do? They can try to destroy Israel, their avowed aim and object. But as Psalms 7:12-16 and many other Prophesies tell us, that will be their downfall. Bring it on Lord! Show us Your power, as You did in ancient times!
  9. Those who expound Bible Prophecy, are part of the current generation which is mainly corrupt and ungodly. [as in the days of Noah] They try to convince us that the cumulative research over the last century now yields a better understanding of the things of God. Conversely, our ancient Scriptures themselves do not say there will be an increase in understanding and discernment during the end times. The Bible prophets say that many will be deceived and will follow false teachings and only a few will understand. Daniel 12:10 Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. 1 Cor 3:18-20 Matthew 11:25 I thank You, Father for hiding the truth from the wise and revealing it to the simple. At the time of Jesus, the people the Lord selected to preserve His Word for the rest of human kind failed to understand God’s plan and were deceived to the degree that they arrange to brutally execute the Son of God who loved them. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Isaiah 53:3 Instead of telling us that mankind will progressively draw near to God because of our ability to assimilate and wisely apply knowledge to our circumstances, the Word of God tells us the Christians will repeat the ancient sin of Israel, and embrace lies. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2 Thessalonians 2:11-10 For this cause, God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie….because they received not the love of the truth. Theological error isn’t random. In this regard, the Greek word in our New Testament, rendered delusion, and it is the Lord Himself who delivers that delusion to those He deems appropriate. This means it is a deluding error, which the Lord Himself sends, to those who want - no: who demand God to remove them, before any holy discipline; Hebrews 12:4-13 and they reject the Spirit of humbleness which would draw them to the truth. This fulfils an Old Testament prophecy, which is in the context of the end times: I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before My eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. Isaiah 66:4 The reason the Lord places a delusion upon people, is because they practice insincere worship and maintain wrong doctrines, Jeremiah 4:22, Isaiah 58:1-7 and have confused themselves by believing fiction and false teachings. Isaiah 29:9-12, 2 Timothy 4:3-4
  10. Iran has a history of protests triggered by various factors, including economic problems, political issues, and concerns over water. The country’s current setbacks – the population seeing that billions of dollars Iran has invested in its proxy projects are going up in smoke – could fuel anger leading to more unrest. Even before Hamas was defeated, Hezbollah decapitated and Assad fell, Iranian protesters chanted about how their money was being wasted on projects abroad. This is also something that Iran’s leaders know well, which is why the mullahs are likely to double down in their efforts to keep a lid on any further unrest. This being the case, the Iranian regime may respond in a number of various ways: One way would be to increase repression to prevent any Syrian-inspired uprisings. Another possibility would be to offer some superficial reforms or concessions to try and appease potential protestors. The third and most dangerous scenario, from an Israeli perspective, would be a rapid push toward nuclear weapons. Feeling the walls closing in, the mullah leadership might conclude that only a nuclear solution to the ‘cancer’ of Israel, could secure the regime’s survival. Iran’s leaders realize that such a move could prompt a devastating Israeli strike, but they don’t care if millions of their country people die, to make all of the Middle East Muslin territory. Their first leader; Ayatollah Khomeini, said: As long as Islam is furthered, it doesn’t matter how many die to achieve it. Ref: Jerusalem Post Bible Prophecy tells us that Iran, [Elam-Media-Persia] WILL attempt to send nuke missiles to Israel. That will be their destruction. Jeremiah 49:35-37, Ezekiel 32:24-25
  11. This thread is an attempt to prove the Church is in heaven before God sends His wrath. That premise is wrong because the holy people of God are in the holy Land when the Anti-Christ 'beast', conquers them. Daniel 7:25, Revelation 13:7 It is the Jewish people who are not mentioned as the faithful Christian peoples of God. Only 24,000, are chosen to represent Judah. Rev 7 They will be divided into two groups, as described in Revelation 12:14 & 17
  12. Lord; part the heavens: Psalm 144:1-2 Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for battle, My unfailing help, my strong tower and shield, in which I trust. He who subdues nations under me. Psalm 144:3-4 Lord; what are humans, that You should care for them? They are no more than a puff of wind or a fleeting shadow. Psalm 144:5 Lord; part the heavens and come down- touch the mountains, so that they pour forth smoke. Discharge Your lightning flashes far and wide and sent Your arrows to rout Your enemies. Psalm 144:7-8&11 Reach down Your hand from on high, rescue me from the mighty waters, from the power of foreigners, whose every word is worthless, every oath false Psalm 144:9-10 I shall sing a new song to You, my God – I will make music to You. God, you give victory to Kings and deliverance to Your servant, David – rescue me from the cruel sword. Psalm 144:12-14 Then our sons and daughters will thrive in beauty, like healthy plants. Our barns will be filled, our sheep will increase by the thousands. Our cattle will be fat and strong. There will be no miscarriages or untimely births. No cries of distress in our streets. Psalm 144:15 Happy is the people who are so blessed! The people whose God is the Lord. Reference, REB. Some verses abridged. V 1 Until the Lord Jesus Returns, His people still have to fight their battles and need to be trained and equipped. But He is their strength and guide against His enemies. V 2 In God we trust, He will give the victory. Romans 8:31 V 3-4 Our lives are short, why does the Lord care about us? Job 14:1-2 V 5 We pray for the Lord to display His power, by the use of natural means; in order to remove His enemies from all of the Holy Land. Jeremiah 30:10, Psalms 83:13-18. V 6 This describes the Lords Day of vengeance and fiery wrath. Isaiah 66:15-17, Zephaniah 1:14-18, 2 Peter 3:7, Revelation 6:12-21 The heavens: our atmosphere, will part, pushed aside at the side facing the sun, when a huge mass ejected from the sun strikes the earth. It will literally fulfil all the graphically stated Prophesies about that Day. V 7-8 & 11 Lord in heaven; help Your people, threatened by many nations [mighty waters] The clue as to who these nations are is that they are foreigners who tell lies and break treaties. The Islamic code of ‘Al Takeyya” means- hide your strategy. Muslims are allowed, even encouraged, to use whatever means they like to defeat and kill infidels. Psalms 83:1-8 is the Lords response. V 10 Lord, You have given Your servants victory in the past, rescue Your people now we ask. 2 Samuel 8:14 V 12-15 His people, the righteous Christian peoples, are settled in the Land when it is cleared of all evil and apostate peoples, after the Day of vengeance. Isaiah 63:1-6 They grow and prosper in all of the Promised Land. Ezekiel 34:11-16, Isaiah 25:9, Isaiah 25:1-10
  13. You are another who feels free to tell God what He can or cannot have. Many Prophesies confirm the re-establishment of sacrifices and offerings in a new Temple. Amazing will be that time!
  14. Just because a few from the other 10 tribes did join with Judah, does not mean the rest of those 10 tribes are lost forever; Your idea is proved wrong by the fact of the Jews now not being 'as many as the sands of the sea'. We Christians have accepted the Salvation of Jesus, we are therefore, his Overcomers; literally His Israelite peoples.
  15. Jesus said: I was sent to save the lost sheep of the House of Israel and to them only. Matthew 15:25 The Jews are the known people of the House of Judah. However, we know that ethnicity has no bearing now, on who can be saved. Ephesians 2:11-18
  16. Will there be sacrifices in the new Temple? When the Lord’s righteous people go to live in all of the Holy Land, all the faithful Christians, from every tribe, race, nation and language; soon after it is cleared and cleansed by the Lord’s Day of fiery wrath, Ezekiel 34:11-31, they will build a new Temple in Jerusalem, according to the details given in Ezekiel 40-46 Many Old Testament prophesies attest to this and how it will be built by men from far away, Zechariah 6:15, and it will be greater than the former ones. Haggai 2:9 The New Testament too, makes it clear there will be a Temple, 2 Thess. 2:4, Revelation 11:1-2, that will exist until the end of the Millennium, when God Himself will be the Temple. Revelation 21:22 We are told that during this age of Church dispensation, Christ is our high priest and we are the spiritual Temple, 2 Cor. 6:16 and no sacrifices are required. Hosea 9:4 Hebrews 9 & 10:1-21 are the scriptures that clearly tell us that Jesus made the once and forever sacrifice for the expiation of our sins. Now there is no Temple and Christians are His ‘body’ on earth. This is just for the time from the early church until the new Temple is built, when there will again be offerings and thanksgiving gifts made by the Lord’s holy people. Isaiah 56:1-8, Jeremiah 33:14-15 Daniel 7:25 and Daniel 9:26-27 tells us how, in the last days, an invading leader will make a peace treaty with the holy people, but will break it and put a stop to the sacrifices and offerings. Obviously there will be sacrifices and offerings taking place, for him to stop them. This is confirmed by the prophesies detailing how it will be during the period the righteous people of God will be living the Land before the Return of Jesus: Psalms 51:18-19 Now Lord, show Your favour to Zion and rebuild Jerusalem. Then You will delight in the appointed sacrifices, young bulls will be offered in Your altar. Jeremiah 17:24-26 Now, if you obey the Lord’s Commandments, then a ruler will again occupy David’s throne and Jerusalem will be inhabited forever. Then people will come bringing whole offerings, sacrifices as thank offerings to the Lord’s House. Jeremiah 33:14-18 The days are coming when I shall bless Judah and Israel…….there will always be a Levitical Priest to burn the grain and other offerings every day. Ezekiel 45:13-25 The details of and the dates for making all the sacrifices and offerings on the Altar of the Temple. Zechariah 14:21…all who come to make sacrifice will use the holy pots in Jerusalem to boil the flesh of the sacrifice…… Isaiah 60:6-7 Livestock in droves will be in the Land to serve your needs, as acceptable offerings on My Altar and I will adorn My glorious Temple. The context of these scriptures proves that all this will be for the last days’ period before the Return of Jesus. What will happen in the Temple, during the Millennium isn’t told to us, although there will be priest’s then. Revelation 20:6, Zephaniah 14:16-21, Isaiah 2:1-3 But we know there will be no Temple in Eternity. Revelation 21:22
  17. A careful reading of Ezekiel 40 to 48, makes it clear, that it all remains unfulfilled. Confirmed by many other Prophesies and te historical record. There will be a new Temple, 2 Thess 2:4 proves it. I choose not to dictate to God, of what He can and cannot ask of us. Your belief of the Jews receiving Redemption, is never Prophesied and does not fit with the idea of them building and operating a new Temple years before Jesus Returns.
  18. Jeremiah 50:17-18 Israel is a scattered flock, harried and chased by wild animals. Assyria was the first to conquer them, then Babylon finally finished them off. Therefore, Assyria and Babylon will be punished and made desolate. This is fulfilled prophecy, from now on Bible prophecy uses Babylon as a metaphor for the ungodly nations. and entities. Jeremiah 50:19 But the Israelites will come back to their own heritage. When that time comes, I will pardon the remnant of Israel and Judah. Although part of Judah have returned to part of the Land, we await the final fulfilment of this prophecy, the gathering of all the Lord’s Christian people into all of the holy Land. Ezekiel 4:4-5 Jeremiah 51:15-18 The Lord made the earth by His power, He controls the elements – the wind and the rain. People are ignorant, pursuing their idols, things of mockery which will vanish on the Day of Reckoning. ‘The Day of Reckoning,‘ elsewhere referred to as the Great and terrible Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath. This will be the next prophesied event, clearing the way for His people to go to the holy Land and for the eventual rise of the Anti-Christ. Jeremiah 51:19-47 Israel’s God is not like any idol, He is the Creator and Israel are the people He claims as His own, Y’hovah is His Name. With you I shall repay Babylon, that destructive mountain. Therefore, the time is coming when I shall punish Babylon, her idols and the whole land will be put to shame – all her slain will lie fallen in her midst. Jeremiah 9:21-22 Jeremiah 51:45 & 50-51 My people, come out from her and let everyone save themselves from the fierce anger of the Lord. You who escape the sword, go – do not linger. Remember the Lord from a distant land and let Jerusalem come into your minds. We are disgraced and shamed because foreigners have entered Your holy places. Jeremiah 51:46 Beware of losing heart, fear no rumours or violence on earth. Reference: Revised English Bible. Some verses abridged The Lord’s people, all righteous Christian believers who are now the inheritors of God’s promises, Galatians 3:25-29, are told to get out of the Babylonish nations, those who ‘escape the sword’, that is: who by faith, survive the forthcoming Lord’s Day of vengeance and wrath. Remember your God and Creator from where you live, in distant lands, [from Israel] that will be the time to travel to your inheritance. Psalms 107:1-43, Isaiah 66:15-21 Do not be afraid, there will be ‘violence on earth’, but you who love the Lord and keep His Laws, must maintain your faith and trust in His deliverance. Joel 2:32, Acts 2:21
  19. God required sacrifices and offerings in a Temple before. He does not change. I know and accept the Sacrifice of Jesus as the payment for my sins. But I still sin -inadvertently or by mistake. Many scriptures, which you fail to address, tell us that sacrifices and offerings will be re-instituted. BEFORE Jesus Returns. You have a totally different belief. One that entails a removal from the earth of the Church. I put it to you; your belief is way more far out and impossible that anything I have promoted. I do have scriptural support; you don't.
  20. This Prophecy describes how it will be during the Millennium. The Lords faithful peoples will occupy the holy Land before then. Isaiah 49:19, Jeremiah 33:12-13, +
  21. But it is and many Prophesies tell us that Judah will be punished and only a remnant will survive. We Christians will travel to and live in all of the holy Land. As Psalms 107 and Isaiah 66:18b-21, so vividly confirm.
  22. You are wrong. Isaiah 56 proves it will be the Chirstian peoples who will build and worship God in the new Temple. Isaiah 56:1-2 These are the words of the Lord; Maintain justice and do what is right, for My deliverance is close at hand and My victory will soon be revealed. Happy is the person who follows these precepts and holds fast to them, who keeps the Sabbaths unprofained and his hand from all wrongdoing. Isaiah 56:3-5 The foreigner who has given his allegiance to the Lord must not say; The Lord will exclude me from His people. The eunuch must not say: I am naught but a barren tree. The eunuch’s who keep My Sabbaths and choose to do My will, holding fast to the covenant, will receive from Me something better than children – a memorial and a name within My Temple. I shall give them everlasting renown. Isaiah 56:6-7 So too, with the foreigners who give their allegiance to Me, to minister to Me and love My name and become My servants. All who keep My Sabbaths holy and hold fast to My covenant; these I shall bring to My holy Mountain and give them joy in My House of prayer. Their offerings and sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar, for My House will be called a House of prayer for all nations. Isaiah 56:8 This is the word of the Lord, who gathers those driven out of Israel; I shall add to those who have already been gathered. John 10:16 This Bible passage, written by the prophet Isaiah, gives a wonderful promise to every person – regardless of race, colour or gender. The promise of the Lord, to give them; “Joy in My House of prayer” In verse 8, it shows that this will happen after all the faithful Christians, [the real Israelites of God] have gathered into the Land. Ezekiel 20:34-35, Jeremiah 30:10 Only a Christian Jewish remnant will join them. They will be divided into 12 groups, into the 12 ‘tribes’ of all Israel. Also as in verse 7, the Temple will be built by them. Ezekiel 40 to 46
  23. Both a massive CME world changer and the Christian occupation of all the holy Land, are Prophesied to happen in the Bible. That most are unable to see or comprehend them, is also Prophesied. I think I would be worried if the Prophesies I promote, were accepted and I received adulation. The ancient Prophets were persecuted for what they said, Likewise; I get threats and rejection, luckily not physical harm. But woe betide those who prophesy, promote and teach false theories.
  24. FALSE PROPHETS {Extracts from 'The Prophetic Call' by Art Katz} In Jeremiah chapter 23:1-32, God gives us a powerful statement about true and false prophets. Talk about an indictment! It is one thing to have Judgment against nations, but when you begin to indict the prophets of God, when the loftiest and the noblest thing has become the most profane, then that is a profound statement of the low condition of a nation prior to its judgment. The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule on their own authority; and My people love it that way! Jeremiah 5:31a It is remarkable how self-serving this reciprocal thing is between heads of movements or fellowships and the false teachers, and how comfortable they are with one another and how they affirm one another. The people are in an unspoken agreement with their ministers: "You present a biblical message. We will pay the bill and have a Sunday service that will leave our lives free from any kind of demand that would really affect our true vested interest and lifestyles. We don't want a message that is going to challenge where our heart really is. We want to be able to say, 'Amen' and 'We've been to church'"-and that kind of thing. As the priest, so also the people. As the pastor/preacher, so also the congregation. It is into that situation we have now come to: 2 Peter 2:1-3 In the past there were false prophets, now there are false teachers among you. They will gain many adherents to their destructive theories, bringing the Way of truth into disrepute. In their greed for money and adulation, they will trade on peoples credulity with complete fabrications. Therefore their way will be like slippery paths to them, they will be driven away into the gloom and fall in it; for I shall bring calamity upon them, the year of their punishment, declares the LORD. Jeremiah 23:12 This confirms that there is not an immediate judgment, but that there is an appointed time in which God judges those that profane His house; those who may have originally had authentic and holy callings. That may well be why the Lord is allowing to continue that which is now being called prophetic and is so popular, but for them, as with the priests and prophets of old, there will be a year of visitation or a time when God will bring them all to judgement. There is a consequence for false prophecy. For the preacher of it; James 3:1, and for the believer of it, for being taken in by the ‘nice’ outcomes, that are taught, when what the Bible prophets actually wrote, is quite different. Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you...' Jeremiah 23:15-16a Jesus said: Do not be deceived…Matthew 24:4 Notice that God still calls them prophets. It may be because the gifts and callings of God are irrevocable. They still retain their official title, but what they are performing under that title is in God's sight an abomination. There is nothing more profane than when the sacred is no longer authentically sacred. When we take the sacred phrase, 'Thus says the Lord' and merely employ it as a device to win the attention of our hearers, then we are desecrating the sacred. We are making the sacred profane and if we are not as a godly people setting forth the distinction between the profane and the sacred, how different are we to the rest of the world? The ramifications of what we are talking about are beyond any full understanding at present. Jeremiah 23:16b-17They keep saying to those who don’t bother to read the Word for themselves: 'The Lord has said: You will have peace' and as for everyone who follow their stubborn hearts, they say: 'Calamity will not come upon you.' This must be the very quintessence of what a false prophet is, namely, the giving of a false comfort and a false assurance of peace that does not regard the truth of the difficulties that need to be faced. It is an unwillingness to bring a hard word. The things that are preached are normally flattering and encouraging to the flesh, rather than challenging or threatening. False prophets prophesy peace when the world is in turmoil! 'Calamity will not come upon you' and ‘God will take you to heaven’, is sadly the kind of statement that is coming from today’s pulpits, especially among Christians of the Western world. They are giving false security to their flock. But who has stood in the council of the LORD...? Jeremiah 23:18 God requires still that His prophetic people be in His presence. I do not see many in the earth today who are in this place. What then shall we say for all the so called; prophets that have arisen in recent years for there are many who profess to be prophets, but are they really hearing the council of God? Not likely, as evidenced by how they all have a different interpretation of the Prophetic Word. God's judgment is severe on those who say: this is God’s word, but it is of their own volition. We can know when the Word is from the council of God because it has a beneficial effect. It will affect the nation or fellowship in turning it toward God, rather than away from Him and from their wrongful ways and practices. Watchmen; Jeremiah 31:6, are called to come into that whole scenario and bring the Sword of the Lord, and the fear of the Lord, and the truth of Scripture to people who have been long spoiled by pastors and writers of things like Prosperity theology and the rapture to heaven doctrine, that every one of us has been exposed to by preaching, books and the media, often ignoring scriptural truths. This is why we have so much controversy over what God actually does intend for His people and why God will soon take action to change everything. THEN My people will see and hear clearly….they will finally understand and know the truth. Isaiah 32:3-4, Jeremiah 23:20 There are false teachers. We are told there would be: 2 Timothy 4:3-4 The false teacher speaks words of comfort when God would not have His people to be comforted, but to be stirred up. True prophets and watchmen who promote the Prophetic Word have to bear the reprisal, the rejection and the mortification of that word coming back into their own teeth. Prophetic anguish is to present the word of God and then to have it refused, but other doctrines believed. It is mortifying and the opposite of the joy and the gratification that comes when the word of God flows out of you and into the people who are receiving it. That is like tonic for your soul. We have to be as willing for the one as the other, or we will not speak the Words of truth, but we must warn people, whether they accept it or not. Ezekiel 3:1-6
  25. I cannot give a 'yes, or no' answer to this. Because Salvation is now by individual acceptance of Jesus as our Saviour. Ethnicity has no bearing on it. ALL who reject Him or show by their ungodliness, their sinful lives, will be punished and have no part in the coming Kingdom.
