There is no indication as to either the time between Jonah being released from the whale and God speaking to him.. Nor is there any indication as to the amount of time Jonah took to reach Nineveh in the scriptures.. The tree days mentioned where the time it would take Jonah to go through the city of Nineveh proclaiming the warning of God..

After reading the Book of Revelation it occured to me that Hell and the Eternal Lake of Fire are two different things.. (Revelation 20:12-15) "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. {13} And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. {14} And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. {15} And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." So i see Hell as a soul prison that will be cast into the eternal Lake of fire in the end..

No 7 years in between ? where did i say the 7 years where in between anything? It is 7 years into eternity.. Yes the new heaven and the new earth.. but whats the problem with the Saints gathering and burning the weapons on the New earth ?

What is the exact nature of your problem with God giving the Saints seven years to burn Gog's weapons? The 1000 Years is the time between the second coming of Jesus and the final judgement.. Time goes on aftre the final judgement into eternity..

Often people who are unsure of their salvation have placed their confidence in their salvation upon their feelings of being worthy of salvation.. So when they have a period when they are doing good deeds and feeling very happy about their works performance they feel confident of their own salvation, but the same person when they are having a bad period when they have sinned a bit or failed to be caring loving and sharing towards their neighbours,, well they then start to fear their salvation status.. Of course the solution is to transfer ones basis for confidence for their salvation from themselves to the LORD Jesus Christ.. Once one places their confidence in the Works of Jesus, the dependability of Jesus and the perfection of Jesus, then they can be at peace in their hearts and can be supremely confident in their salvation because they believe Jesus and trust in the Atonement Jesus secured for their salvation on the cross.. to use an analogy.. Think of believers as ships near the coast in a storm.. Some of the ships place their anchor in the own holds and are tossed about in the waves and crash into the rocks on the shore and are dashed.. Other Ships place their anchors on the bedrock of the sea floor and a held firm and the waves don't move them.. They are secure.. Don't put your anchor within yourself.. Put it in the ROCK

I have been following the meteor Apophis since 2014.. I have suspected it to be the end times meteor that strikes the earth for a wile now.. It will land in the sea somewhere on earth in 2029.. But i don't believe anything from Sid Roth's show It's Supernatural..

EZEKIEL 38: 1-23 is a true prophecy that will one day come to pass..

This forum does not seem to be more or less busy then many other forums i have visited.. But this forum is older then other forums.. The older a forum is the more requests people present to the owners for new specialist rooms.. So you end up with a forum with many sections but only a few sections that get regular heavy traffic..

Do you believe Jesus???? Matthew 5: KJV 27 "¶ Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: {28} But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." So your message states that as long as homosexual does not physically act upon his lusting over other men then he has not sinned and is OK with the LORD...... Your message is Death to anyone who believes you.. Yes indeed God loves us sinners.. But by having the urge one has Sinned Already.. Your message is as long as you do not act upon your urge then you have not sinned and there is nothing you need to seek atonement for.... My LORD Jesus who is in control of who is Redeemed and who is condemned thinks differently to you..

The argument that homosexuality is acceptable because it is natural because homosexuals where born that way is not a valid justification for Homosexuality not being evil... A basic Christian teaching is that we are all born in a fallen nature where we are destined to sin.. Using the argument that if one is born that way then it is ok we can justify all sins as being ok since we where all born with a fallen nature and therefore we are only being natural.. The great tragedy in people pushing this extremely evil argument is that if a homosexual actually believes their argument of the justification of what the Bible declares to be an abomination.. That homosexual will not acknowledge their homosexuality is sin and not rely on the atonement of the LORD Jesus Christ to win for them forgiveness and redemption.. Jesus declared that only blasphemy of the Holy Spirit was unforgivable.. Therefore homosexuality is forgivable and the grace of God is on offer to homosexuals.. But for someone to be forgiven they MUST acknowledge that they have sinned and are in need of the Atonement of Jesus to atone for that sin.. Once a homosexual is convinced that their sin is not sin because they where born that way and that it is natural and ok,,, then they will never seek the covering of the atonement of the LORD Jesus Christ for something they now consider justified and good... People are sending homosexuals to the eternal lake of fire with their attempts to justify homosexuality as being justified and good because ""they where born that way"" In their minds they think they are supporting homosexuals, loving homosexuals, respecting homosexuals.. But in truth they are Killing homosexuals.. Doing their best to send them to the second death in the lake of fire..

Just to clarity i was agreeing with the overall message of Hartomo's post.. To persevere in faith in Jesus no matter where we end up in life.. Some of us will probably end up living on the streets sleeping in cardboard boxes.. But even if we do then that should never effect our trusting in the LORD and our Hope for an Eternity with Jesus.. But as for the issue of woman pastors.. The Bible does not allow for woman pastors.. So my support for the overall message of Hartano's post does not include support for woman pastors.. Just to clarify..

The Bible reveals that satan will be cast into the eternal Lake of fire where He will be tormented day and night forever and ever.. The Bible only reveals that Repentance is an option for human beings.. It never states that the rebellious angels like satan where offered such an option..

Thank you Hartono. I needed to read the message in this post.. Yes we must perservere till the end.. No matter what. His will be done..

How did you balspheme the Holy Spirit?

But it does not say that sinning Jews will be the elect... But the Book of revelation declares that 144.000 decendants of abraham will be the remnant elect because they are innocents.. Revelation 14: KJV 1 "And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. {2} And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: {3} And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. {4} These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. {5} And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God." There is only one way for sinners to be Redeemed and that is by accepting the gift of the Atonement of the LORD Jesus Christ..

I never preached that all Christians would be killed... Some Christians will survive and be on earth on the day of the return of the LORD Jesus.. They are the ones who will be raptured..

The Elect is anyone selected by God.. Christians are the elect.. 1 Peter 1: KJV 1 "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, {2} Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied."

If you only use one book ""the book of revelation"" as your guide to the future then yeah you cannot see a rapture in Revelation 19.. That's why you use other books of the Bible to fill in the gaps and build up a picture.. The accounts at the end of Matthew say that the returning Jesus will gather His elect on the day of His return.. If Jesus has already gathered his elect before the day of His return then the account in Matthew would not reveal Jesus having His elect gathered at his return.. It would have already been done..

""the sheep of the sheep"" I have no idea what you are saying here.. Can you talk in plane speech.. Reading that at first seems to indicte to me knowing some chistianity jargon that you believe Christians ( sheep ) will becomes Gods and they will have sheep ( carnal humans ) following them.. Question are you a Mormon by any chance? Because thats the only religon i know off the top of my head that believes human beings will become Gods on day and have people they rule over..

Thanks for the information.. Glad no tsunami was created.. I only found out about this by reading this thread.. I am amazed such a powerful and shallow earthquake did not cause big damage on the nearby islands.. But thanks be to God if they have been spared serious destruction..

Looked up USGS site and the quake was near the surface.. This is a very powerful earthquake.. I hope it has not triggered a large tsunami.. It is on a thrust fault and they can cause serious waves when they go off..

God allowed the first Christians to be persecuted and killed for their faith.. God has allowed Christians to be persecuted and killed for their faith in Jesus for near 2000 years.. Jesus forewarned us the following:: John 16: KJV 33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

The Rapture is coming .. But at the second coming of Jesus.. Those children of Jesus who are alive and remain at the second coming will be caught up into the sky to meet up with Jesus upon his return.. We shall be coming right back down to earth with Jesus to rule the world with Him..

They need to confess they are a sinner in need for the Atonement of the LORD Jesus Christ..

If you believe Jesus and trust 100% in the Atonement He secured by His death on the cross for your justification then you are Right with God..
