Like the end of the great tribulation?!

I thought I read that the US dropped leaflets on Hiroshima before they dropped the bomb. Pretty sure. My own personal speculation is that the Palestinians are likely the very same race as the Philistines from scripture a long time ago. After all, Joshua failed to kill all of the giants in a couple/few areas, and it's the same areas that are still under conflict today! So it's easy for me to believe that the Palestinians are some very bad people and certainly demonic.

Well what do think the Great Tribulation is all about? It will take, great tribulation to make Israel proclaim Jesus as the Messiah as a nation but Israel will be brought to a saving knowledge of the Gospel message and Jesus Christ. So they are a stubborn people, so what? So are Americans. So we continue to support Israel as God's chosen people.

Was Jesus wearing a Jet-Pack? It looked like it!

Those questions.

Those are good questions. I've asked myself the same questions and even talked to the Lord about some of it. The two greatest commandments are Love God with Everything, and Love your Neighbor as if he were you. So everybody's mission is to learn to love. Earth is sort of, God's University of Brotherly Love. That's the wuestion that I asked the Lord, and He answered me right away, clear as day. He said, you can't teach someone how to Love without giving them Free Will at the same time!.../ Wow, I'm still chewing on that one. It makes sense though. Having been married illustrates to me 1000 different ways that free will was necessary in the moment. (Let's go out to eat over here? Ok she says but lets eat there instead!) I already made plans for us to go one place and she changes it, Who wins? She does, she is my Wife and I love her so, we go eat at someplace more expensive. That's free will I changed my mind out of love. Only occasionally when something is very important does the wife get overruled. I've heard two different Testimonies from online that sounded credible and they both said the same thing! They were both "taken up" to visit heaven and saw many things and one of the places they described going and seeing was, they went to a room where children were looking at pictures in photo albums and...choosing their parents that they were about to be born to soon! It was sort of a wow moment to hear that! But if you think about it, it makes sense because God does not force Himself upon anyone, He will not violate their free will to make their own choices. And we also know that God doesnt change! So I think we had to choose our own parents! So all those people who mumble, I didnt ask to be born here...are wrong! When we born here, we must have hit the ground hard because we all have Amnesia about who we are and where we are from. I guess wanted to see, if He creates people and gives them free will, will they by their own free will, search out the path back home again to Him? I guess you could say that, we were born into a war, behind enemy lines (!) with Amnesia. There is a Radio (Prayer), and a Field Manual (FM) (Bible) in our pack, When I read the FM it told me that we also have Contact that we to rendezvous make contact with (the Holy Spirit!). So that's how Elijah called in air strike (fire from heaven!), interesting. The FM also speaks of a rendezvous but the date and time to be evacuated out was not given! So start watching the evac Chopper (Jesus) now to make sure we dont miss the rendezvous! Nut the thing, no man left behind. We need more time HQ, we spotted some prisoners that we'll attempt to free to bring with us... Uh-oh, I just realized that I have been sending up conflicting prayers. I can't count how many times I've prayed, Come, Lord Jesus! But every morning I always unconsciously than Him for more time. I better make up my mind huh?!

But I didnt ask you that. I asked you two questions about two verses and you seem to have ignored the questions...?

Oh, I see now. It seems I've been confused about a few scriptures. But I'm sure you can tell me what they really mean and where was my mistake. Matthew 6:10 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.../KJV So His Kingdom doesn't come here? Or...was the author someplace else else when He wrote these words? I don't understand. Matthew 4:17 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.../KJV So can you tell me what "the Kingdom of heaven is at hand" really means because I have always thought that the kingdom of heaven is at hand, meant it is here as close as your hand. (That Jesus brought His Kingdom here) Please explain that for me because I dont want to be confused and wrong!

Hmm, I am a two finger typist and never learned the keyboard so it's possible I could have hit a button I wasnt supposed to? I wasn't trying to post any attachments or images. I wasnt editing it either (but that's good to know!) Thanks, Brother.

I was in the Testimonies forum and typing my testimony and it was rather lengthy and I was more than 1/2 done...and all of a sudden my post disappeared except for one sentence, a partial actually. It gives me a little pop up thing that says, your post was cleared or something like that. What was that all about? Why did it disappear? I aint retyping all that tonight. Sigh.

1 John 4:17-19 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us.../KJV So it is love that perfects us. It is impossible because we can do nothing without the Lord. But that's not the point! He looks at our heart and our intentions so even when we fail He knew we would fail. And it is some sort of test for us. If we abide in Him then we are being led by the Spirit and so are the righteousness of God in Christ. Not forgiving our enemies or cursing them with our tongue hurts us more than it does them. Because it plants a seed of bitterness within our heart which if not done away with through forgiveness will grow into a root of bitterness within our heart. And that, is the opposite direction from being perfect. One time, someone close to me did a wrong to me, a very bad wrong. One of those kinds of wrongs that people usually do not get forgiveness for! But I wanted to obey God and He said, you better forgive them, but I couldn't. So I prayed and said Lord I forgive this person for what they did to me and if I can not forgive them within my heart I make an act of my will to forgive them even if my heart does not agree...! And nothing happened, I felt just as bad towards the person than I did before. What now? Pray the same thing again tomorrow. And the day after that and the day after that until I can feel it in my heart the forgiveness for what they did to me. And it took about two weeks of praying from an act of my will to forgive them before I felt the peace of God in my heart about it. Boy did I feel better!
