Just Wondering?

[senerhu]

That's a very good Scripture reference above for this study! I really think we need to start thinking literally on this topic. We need to think physically, what will be happening. It's coming into place right now in the world the things spoken of are forming. Just as there was an actual baby being born in Bethlehem, and a star over that place, there are going to be very distinct occasions for His 2nd Coming, and we can see things forming now, that all make sense

Isaiah 10:3 What will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far?

Thanks Suzanne for your response and you make a good point, however the scripture I referenced above applies to the discussion forums recommended to me following the links below, as it refers to rapture timing.

senerhu - I'm not Suzanne but I think I know why. Maybe because this issue is already being discussed here http://www.worthyboards.com/forums/index.p...75entry120194

Well, you can begin in Zechariah 1. The first part of Zech. begins with the 4 Horns----if you recall there is similar language within Daniel and Rev. regarding the 4 Horns.

In Zech. 2 there is reference to the measuring, it is also referenced in Rev. 11:1 and 21:15.

We need to begin to see the similarities between the prophecies and Daniel and Rev. and then start to put them all together, to get a complete picture.

Arent these verses in Micah 4:11-13 refering more to God gathering the nations for the final battle, where God vindicates Israel?

Well, start at the beginning of Micah and read to 4. Could these things be beginning to take place right now?

Just provoking some thought here. (Instead of thinking only in terms of Israelites, think of believers/countries of believers in general), don't look at it only as regarding the Israelites, think of it in terms of believers as a whole.

In His Truth,

Amen Sis,

I saw this a little differently earlier but now see what you are saying. I will look at these other scripture referances and post again later this evening.

Man do I feel God is about to pour out His Spirit on the nations as well as these boards.

"Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoyce in the Lord,for He hath given you the former rain moderately, and He shall cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter in the first month" Joel 2:23

God is about to pour out His Spirit (The latter rain)

This is an awesome topic of study.

Open our eyes Lord, that we may behold the wonderful things written in Thy word.

In Jesus

How many nations do you think are viewed by the world as those of God? Those having a connection to God in some way?

In His Love,

Suzanne

I was afraid this question may have been overlooked? Please don't, as I want to take a look at the significance of the 2 nations in this day and time.

In His Love,

I would answer this but the question is kind of Vague. What God? Any God or a God?

Please clarify the question

OUR GOD????

Hi again   

This is an interesting section of scripture. maybe a bit off topic but still.

10 "Now I will rise," says the LORD;

        "Now I will be exalted,

        Now I will lift Myself up.

        11You shall conceive chaff,

        You shall bring forth stubble;

        Your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

        12And the people shall be like the burnings of lime;

        Like thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire.

        13Hear, you who are afar off, what I have done;

        And you who are near, acknowledge My might."

        14The sinners in Zion are afraid;

        Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites:

        "Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?

        Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?"

        15He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly,

        He who despises the gain of oppressions,

        Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes,

        Who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,

        And shuts his eyes from seeing evil:

        16He will dwell on high;

        His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks;

        Bread will be given him,

        His water will be sure.

Maybe rapture "dwell on high"

I could be wrong, but it seems to me all of chapter 33 is dealing with the destruction of Assyria.

Any others opinions?

Amen Suzanne,

I was going to answer after I looked at the scriptures tonight, My thoughts that came to me were The USA and Israel. These are nations that are known to be founded on the pricipals of God.

I do know what mcm meant though, as in nations claiming to be nations of God, such as the nation of islam. or the the buddist etc.

But I assume you are refering to Israel and the USA, correct?

[tsth]

Yes they are, as they are the only 2 nations that were distinctly founded and originated from Godly desires. There's a reason I ask and want us to look at these 2 nations, as the prophets very distinctly speak of 2 nations and their standing among the rest of the world. There is no doubt at this time that this occurrence is happening now, as was prophesied.

In His Love,

Suzanne

Hi Suzanne,

I see some things here especially in Daniel 8:8-, which seems to refer to unrest in the middle east and the nation of Islam, or the muslim countries which ever termanolgy is politically correct, as does Zach 1:18-21.

unless Iam reading something wrong here.

I really want to study this more so I dont want to make a comment too fast, especially on the measuring, or surveying.

Lets hear of the two nations, man ther is a lot to study and so little time. I have some ideas but would like to see where you are going with this first.

God bless you sis, very interesting stuff! I am excited about this study.

[Guest LCPGUY]

Suzanne, unless I missed something here - quite likely :x: what two nations are you referring to?

In these latter days I see only two nations that were founded upon the Word of God: Israel and the United States. Unless I'm wrong, I can't see any others.

Do you see these two in the scriptures? If so, please advise where. Fascinating indeed.

John
