Yes and thanks for your testimony Lee.     Please share more with us in the future.   


God is very patient with us.   It kind of takes our breathe away when we know that it is Him who has taught us an important lesson.........that He has paid us a visit.   


He recently taught me to allow Him to fight the difficult battles......to turn things completely over to Him......rather than relying on our own strength.


   It is with great faith that David....just a teenager....stood against Goliath.......when the warriors of Israel were afraid to do so. 


We stumble all the time......but He is very patent with us.


  He cares for us very much.......and knows even the number of hairs on our head.....the passing thoughts in our mind.....etc.  etc. 


Wretched sinners that we are........saved by His grace........the shed blood of our Lord and King Jesus Christ.


Incredible that we are referred to not only as children of God.........but co-heirs with Christ.  This is an amazing thing to contemplate............and leaves me rather speechless.   It is hard for the human mind to fully grasp.


Praise God for all that He has done for us............and have a nice week.     

That's OK Tom......I did not really expect anyone to agree with me.


It is very nice to have this forum available.


Keep up the good work.......you and all your co-workers in Christ. 


David

Yes, it looks bad. I was just thinking that maybe our drought conditions in this part of the country aren't so bad after all. We've now had over 70 days here at over 100F - average of 105F - and one of the most severe droughts I can remember in my lifetime.

How awful.  I am very sorry to hear that Tom.   Where does your town get it's water from?

I hope that your A/C's work OK. 


Hope things cool off there soon.     David

Sounds to me like you hit it right on the head.......Christ our first love........follow Him.

We should then turn all our concerns over to him........put those concerns in his hands.......and have faith that He will take care of things.   


Have a nice week       David


"He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me.  And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me."   (Mt. 10:37)


Nothing we have to work at really..........it just happens over time.......He becomes a Christian's first and greatest love.  Those connected to God through the Holy Spirit who has come to live inside........just naturally love God more and more with each passing day.


Praise God that He is always teaching us new things........and helping us to grow.

I think that I mentioned in another place that in my opinion Hitler might be the one who "will ascend out of the bottomless pit" and be the end time man of evil  (Rev. 17:

"He is the 8th and is of the seven" (v. 11) suggests that one of the past seven leaders who persecuted Israel will be coming back to life. 


However there are also some current unusual things re. our current leader.  When Jesus said that he saw satan fall as lightning from heaven......he was speaking Hebrew.  I have reviewed articles which state that this would sound to us like:   "Satan Barrack Obama."


For those interested in mathematics:


1.  Our leader was serving in Illinois prior to his election.  On the day when his victory was announced, the Illinois lottery number was:   666.

2.  Just last weekend S and P decided to downgrade the USA credit rating for the first time ever.  Stocks subsequently fell sharply that Monday.  At the end of Monday's trading session:

The Dow Jones was down:    5.55%     (Hitler's party number was 555)

The S and P index was down:    6.66%     (The number of the beast)


The S and P closed at 1119.    Turning this number backward.....the first three digits are:    911.


For 666.........if you multiply it 6 times 6 times 6.........you get 216.   Based on the birth certificate produced for our current leader..........his birthday is August 4th.......the 216th day of the calendar year.   


One possible scenario:   satan has been kicked out of heaven along with one third of the angels.  He is currently temporarily residing inside our current leader.  Our current leader might at some time in the future be taken out.....and rise again three days later as Hitler.  Many in the world will marvel and chase after him. 


"The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and to to perdition.  And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is."

"And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition."


The ten major banking families that have been running the world since The French Revolution will form an alliance with the man of evil.   They will switch from being invisible rulers to visible rulers with the anti-christ.

"These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast."

"And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet (no visible kingdom), but they receive authority for one hour as kings (become visible kings) with the beast."



 

The spirit of the original city of Babylon has rested on various empires over the years.  That is why in my opinion it is called "Mystery Babylon."   It is invisible to the naked eye........but the spirit of evil is there.   It is the type of spirit that leads to such things as feeding Christians to the lions.....as in ancient Rome. 

It probably has rested on our nation since the time the leading judges of the land viewed us no longer a Christian nation.

Israel is back in it's homeland.

If over the next few years, you see bread go to about 100 dollars per loaf........you will know that you are at the 3rd Seal and that the Pre-Trib theory is not correct. 


This is not God's wrath.......but the globalist elites ushering in world chaos to bring about their New World Order.  They will form an alliance with the man of evil. 


God's wrath (7th Seal) is very distinct........and cannot be duplicated by either satan or man.

Satan, the fallen angels, and those under his power have been persecuting Israel and the saints for many years.  It continues even today.  This is nothing new.  It will get worse when he gets kicked out of heaven......no longer has access. 

It is vital for God's children to understand the difference between Satan's wrath and God's wrath.  Just as in the time of the king of Egypt.......God's wrath cannot be duplicated by Satan or man. 

See Rev. 12: 7-17


Verse 13 onwards:  "Now when the dragon (satan) saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman (Israel) who gave birth to the male Child (Christ).  But the woman (Israel: a remnant preserved) was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent (the final 3.5 years of the 70th week)."

"So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.  But the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth."

"And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring (the gentile Christians grafted into the natural branch;  see Romans Chps 9--11), who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."


Do not explain this away as just new believers in Christ.......i.e. "tribulation saints."


There will be no tribulation saints as the door to salvation will be shut after the man of evil comes on the scene.  Those who have denied Christ will be turned over to their disbelief........and God will send forth a delusion upon the earth.  This will be similar to how he hardened Pharaoh's heart. 


"The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the live of the truth, that they might be saved.

"And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 


God has not appointed us to wrath.......namely His wrath.  This is clearly indicated as about to begin at the 6th Seal.  The whole world goes dark for an unspecified amount of time.  The great ones of the earth hide in fear in the mountains. 

They say to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 

"For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand."   (Sixth Seal Rev. 6: 12-17_


The Day of the Lord is much longer than a human 24 hour day.  In fact, it encompasses all of the 7th Seal (approx. one to two years) and all of the 1,000 year Millennial Kingdom until the Lord burns up the earth and creates a new one.  It is referred to in 2 Peter 3: 10-13.

God does not seal the 144,000 of Israel from harm prior to the First Seal.......but just prior to the 7th Seal.  That is because the First Seal is not God's wrath.........nor the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th.  After the 144,000 are sealed from harm, a great multitude which no one can number from all the nations is discussed in heaven.  They can wear robes and have palm branches in their hands.  These are the Gentile Christians who have been caught up to heaven by angels just prior to God's wrath (7th Seal). 


Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy was given to Daniel in response to his prayer and intercession for his people Israel.  He wanted to know how long the punishment would last.........how long God would hide His face from them.

Revelations was given by Christ to John for the Church as indicated in chapter 1 and is closely followed by warnings from Christ to the seven churches in the first three chapters. 


3rd Seal:   day's wages for a loaf of bread.
4th Seal:   25% of the population of the world perishes.
5th Seal:   persecution of first Israel and then the Gentile believers in Christ
6th Seal:   the world goes black for an unspecified amount of time;  God's wrath will begin soon
7th Seal:   God's wrath;   the fifth trumpet judgment by itself will last five months.
