Matthew 24:35 (KJV)

[35] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

[36] But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

[37] But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

 

 

Better watch out there, enoob, for the flying shrapnel........

So sorry sister. No offense. I've been ready, and many are the days our house has been clean.
Embarrassed to say, our family spent days in the hills back in 1988(1 generation) watching/waiting for that predicted return.
No more, sis..

But Thanks Marilyn, for your reply.. (If I'm wrong, I'll apologize, when we meet on that beautiful shore:)
 

Fine, Sower. And my answer was a bit strong, so apologies too.

Yes, what a day that will be.

I listened to Harold Camping every night as the 'Bible Answer Man' and he really led a lot of people astray by his (false) prediction as written in his book '88 reasons why Jesus is coming back in 1988'. I do agree with Marilyn on this one though, but as you say, If I'm wrong, I'll apologize, when we meet on that beautiful shore:! thanks bro. and sorry you went through that mess. He was a false prophet. Blessings.

Glad you see the Day approaching very soon too Pat.

Yes, dear bro enoob, the key is God`s word. So, let`s look together.

`But you, brethren, are not in darkness that this day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.` (1 Thess. 5: 4 & 5)

`...but exhorting one another and so much the more as you SEE the Day approaching.` (Heb. 10: 25)

Also, when Jesus was on earth He did not know, however He has risen and ascended to the Father`s right hand and they with the Holy Spirit are the Godhead - equal, in unity and of the same mind.

Sorry that your family were deceived like that. It would have been devastating. I can understand your reticence. 

Now I haven`t stated a day, however a time based on God`s Purim feast to Israel. And according to the prophet Joel there will be a great army coming down from the far north to Israel's mountains. Obviously, we will see that as it is over 100`s of klms. 

Thus, we can SEE the Day (of the LORD God in judgment) approaching. 

Most of the world has turned against Israel. Even Britain & USA are stepping back.

God desires Israel to have to call out to Him and not rely on any help. 

Russia and Iran are already pals and preparing retaliation against Israel. 

[Thomas2]

Nothing is observed with eyes, we don't look in faith in this world and that is why the day overtakes all who cant speak or believe in faith.

They cant say lo here, or lo there, for the Kingdom of God does not come with observation.

The false prophets say, lo, here is Christ, or there, and we believe them NOT.

 

2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

[Thomas2]

The false prophets percentage is many, and the percentage of their followers is many, the percentage of the ones on the narrow path was few, it went more narrow and more scarce numbers.

Right now, who would believe truly, when forums to make up inventions and to discuss for self glory are the only interest shown.

If a person has the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ, they reject the many false teachers, and choose just one, One Lord Jesus Christ, and leave the forums that produce no fruit of charity, as the love of God is to lay HIs life down for us, love is not them on a forum that only gets us to keep our life comfortable for ourselves. Shame on the talkers for a lifetime every day, if there was shame to be had, by hearing below how it was for Jesus, and what they show on the forums as their example. ( WHAT HAS 25-30 YEARS OF ONLINE DISCUSSION/FORUMS BENEFFITED, BUT TO PUT THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF A WORLD THAT ENTIRELY LIVES FOR CARES OF THIS LIFE/SELF GLORY NOW.)..

 

 

John 12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

John 12:27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

 

1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

 

Hebrews 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

All things written are hinged upon context with the exception of prophetical utterances and then it's a free for all in interpretation...

I prefer to leave unsaid things just as they are... I have enough on my hands dealing with what is said ... It seems I have trouble bringing my own imagination to the subjection of God's Word, however tedious it is... it must be done so as The Scripture, as Scripture written, assuring my thoughts are His thoughts...

2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV)

[5] Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

 

[enoob57]

As far as preterist... I think they could have saved themselves trouble by knowing the answer to this statement
Luke 21:32 (KJV)

[32] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

I believe this was their motivation... however studying to show one's self approved this

John 21:21 (KJV)

[21] Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?

[22] Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

John was selected by Jesus to receive the Revelation thus fulfilling Lk 21:32 passage. For me understanding Scripture as written removes imagined things...
