  • Mishael on Matthew 24 - 2 years ago
    There's a scripture that God is going to utterly wipe out Russia. God is tired of their incendiary politics. They mess with our elections without fear. Someone in our nation is a traitor.

    16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

    17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?

    18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.

    19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

    20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

    21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.

    22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

    23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

    Mishael,

    Don't believe the lies and propaganda about Russia. It's planted by owned media outlets who traffic in lies. Do you believe the US media, or the politicians? What's to stop a British spy from poisoning the enemy of an enemy and blame it on Russia. Wouldn't the constant treachery edge you closer to the button?

    Soon Russia defeats US, then Jesus defeats Russia starting the 1k year reign.
  • The End of Days - In Reply on Matthew 24 - 2 years ago
    I do not get prophetic input from media. I get it from combing through the Bible.

    I googled 'Silk Road' to find China rebuilt it, all the way to Europe. (Right near Israel too)

    I put 'China' in this website search engine, and up popped 3 scriptures indicating that pestilence would come from Asian and Mideast regions. I got the maps out and did a big search on that.

    China's national colors are in the Bible!!

    The last war will be fought over WATER. No one in the Mideast has enough. Guess what? Google the water pipeline Israel is building now!

    I'm not publishing comments by books or writers. I get it all from the Bible. That's why I said last night: we are the generation Daniel wrote of.

    Crack the books, all the ancient maps you can find.

    Our governments have not even heard of these prophesies! They are making plans for wars and rumors of wars, based on Nothing! They are playing right into Gods Endtime program. Which he watches diligently.

    Who am I? I am nobody. I'm about to turn 70. I have seen many things happen in my generation. This is the Terminal Generation. A generation is NOT 40 yrs. Thats why some predictions failed. Jesus gave us specific signs. Prophesy gives events that have to unfold a certain way. Our Teacher, the Holy Spirit, is who guides us. He has the Light.

    If we read through scripture too fast, we miss the key pointers. If we don't speak Gods Word, everything we say in our flesh, will amount to nothing.

    Israel is living within prophesy now, more than ever before. We see it by what God had his people write down in the Bible. Some had dreams or visions. NOW, we have daily newspapers to compare the past, to the present Now. Knowledge has increased!

    My advise: stop gnashing on old manna; start digging and praying without ceasing, on Gods End Of Days.

    The Bema seat of Christ will tell who did good, or who gathered wood, hay and stubble. Search that out.

    Mishael

    I don't get current events from media , it's all agenda driven .

    I Gave up on google it's apart of the same agenda .

    A generation is 120 yrs .

    Happened back when The Lord said so in Genesis because of sin . Notice reality kicking in to this day no lives a full 120 yrs .

    It's been that way for centuries.

    Yes Gods word is reality .
  • Chris - In Reply on Matthew 24 - 2 years ago
    Bill, if you're referring to Genesis 6:3, the 120 years written here isn't given to show a generation (of years) of mankind, but how many years God had given mankind in Noah's day to heed the warning & repent. Within 120 years the flood had arrived & sadly only eight souls were saved.
  • Bill - In Reply on Matthew 24 - 2 years ago
    Yes I heard that before but I don't buy it , is there proof of that happening and did Noah record it ? He was the only left and seven others .

    But if you look today no one lives more than 120 yrs old even with billions of people , of course there can be exceptions.

    So mans days where shorted to 120 yrs no doubt about it .
  • Chris - In Reply on Matthew 24 - 2 years ago
    2 Peter 2:5, declares Noah to be a "preacher of righteousness". However, we're not told how he communicated God's Message to the people, whether during the building of the Ark ( Hebrews 11:7) or at other times. His soul would have been vexed by the wickedness around him, as Lot's was with the Sodomites ( 2 Peter 2:7,8).

    Genesis 5:32 shows Noah's age as 500 years old & then when he was 600 years old ( Genesis 7:6), the flood waters came upon the Earth. And somewhere between that time ( Genesis 6:3) God declared that man's days "shall be a hundred & twenty years". I guess that's how the understanding arose about God's time limit for man to take stock of his remaining days.
  • Adam - In Reply on Matthew 24 - 2 years ago
    I don't believe anything I hear on TV or online in the 'news' anymore. Most is just lies and deceit and biased opinion not based in reality. What if 99% of what they say just isn't true? And what if people assume it's true and live their lives believing things that aren't even real. It's unbelievable deception. People have been lying a long time too, only recently have we seen so much of it exposed. And the fake news tries to legitimize their lies by paying for 'fact check' websites which are further propaganda. Most things on there are also lies. I think God is shaking His head at how stupid people are and how corrupt they've become. One day a line will be crossed and he's going to wipe people out. Like sheep preparing for the slaughter.
  • Mishael - In Reply on Matthew 24 - 2 years ago
    I was dumb as a rock, serving Satan, involved in astrology. Not the magazine stuff.

    God can reach into their miserable worlds and pull them out of the dark, into His Light. My little grandmother was praying for me; sending me Jesus love letters.

    Maybe tack a few minutes onto our interceding prayertime and ask God for supernatural salvations within the news media.

    Interesting reading online: the Silk Road Rebuilt, The Pipeline Israel is building to bring in drinking water; the Nations fighting against it.

    Jerusalem Post for Israel news.

    Turkey erasing Ancient Christian shrines, churches.

    Mishael,

    Ezekiel 38:17-23

    God destroys Russia (Gog) at the last trumpet, ending the great tribulation. This happens 3.5 years after Israel was trodden under foot by the Gentiles ( Luke 21:20-24), and 3.5 years after the abomination of desolation ( Matthew 24:15) ( Isaiah 47) ( Joel 2). God's mystery is over.

    You will understand what you once overlooked.
  • Times of the End - In Reply on Matthew 24 - 2 years ago
    I know people do not know all the words of the story, or they would not have elected people that are overthrowing every institution that this country has fought and died for, on the battlefields. This nation makes a mockery of our Constitution, Flag, the Lords Prayer and the words printed on our money: IN GOD WE TRUST.

    Shame on us for not using our vote, to vote for God! Now we will see what it means when the domino effect, takes place. Put a bookmark in Leviticus 26: 14-39. We're there: the 5th Cycle.

    Not all of the Book of Daniel has been accomplished.

    Daniel 12 (for starters)

    3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

    4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and SEAL THE BOOK, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and KNOWLEDGE shall be increased.

    8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?

    9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed TILL THE TIME OF THE END.

    10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but THE WISE shall understand.

    11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

    12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

    13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

    Not only this, but Antichrist is clearly described in Daniel; and his campaign to take over nations. Knowledge is increasing. I do believe the 4 Horseman are here.

    Now is a good time to read and discuss Prophesy.

    What is the Holy Spirit showing us for today?
  • Tom M - In Reply - 2 years ago
    It is possible that Gog is Russia but not exactly. If one follows the linage of Japheth you will find that Japheth begat Magog. Here is the mystery. Magog and I believe Gomer settled in what is now the Caucasus (Caucasian) mountains on the southern tip of Russia. And there is a lot of evidence that it was Magog via his family including his father, that are responsible for the concept and lineage of the Arian group of people. Also don't forget that Gomer, Japheth's brother begat Ashkenaz as in Ashkenazi Jews... You know them by their fruits and Jesus refers to them often ("...and I know the blasphemy of them that say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan") .There is also pretty solid information that this was the origin of the Jesuits as well who have taken over most all nations. It is written that this family was so powerful it literally took over Europe and the Americas. Like it or not, this is the family who had originated the concept and the practice of white superiority. At present this bloodline is the most powerful of elitists in the world. So, is God/Magog really Russia? I don't think so. It comprises most, if not all, the elitists of the present day world, yes including Putin. And as you see from events in the Middle East, especially, the persecution of Israel, this is a coordinated effort brought forth from the 10 horns, the EU - Maygog. I would be more concerned about the "dragon kings of the east" as explained in 2 Esdras 15:29, who team with Elam (Iran) to attack Israel which will spill the world into war and make ripe the revealing of the Antichrist. As you may have noticed recently, China and Iran have entered into a 25 year pact touted as a economic agreement, but there's more, that I am sure of. "Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known." Matthew 10:26.
  • Let39s Keep Our Eyes on the WIDE VIEW what39s happening around the World - In Reply - 2 years ago
    I don't have my notes around me now.

    I remember reading that Russia will be against Israel completely. God will wipe them off the face of the earth. They meddle in everything Israel does or tries to do, concerning the Land. Right now, Russia is on fire. They have earthquakes almost every day. China is making trade agreements with everyone they can. Despite the needs of their own country, they are actively trying to buy up the whole world. Again, they too are being warned with great natural disasters. They spared no expense to put on the Olympics.

    These may seem insignificant, but I believe God is warning the Christians in those lands.

    The Bible says of ISHMAEL, that He is bullheaded and does not recognize Israel as a son of Abraham. Such is his insanity, he cannot be satisfied with the blessing God gave to him.

    TURKEY and that region is totally decimating anything Christians made; in the background. To hide their acts, they allow Christians there to have church in their homes. As soon as the USA pulls out the troops, that will change.

    Israel is building a pipeline (google that) for water that they need for all those who are returning from where they hid after WW1. They hid by pretending to be Catholic. This present Pope will be an actor in the final days.

    Also, the aforementioned nations want to build their pipelines to move oil. National news downplays these sneaky going on's. Something else that bears a mention alongside Book of Daniel. Palestinian children are raised to be the FAITH of their FATHERS. Israeli mother's raise their children Jewish/Israeli. That's the way it was always done. A certain retired American president has written books about His Father. The father,Palestinian by birth. His son's religion must be Palestinian. A fact national news avoided completely. He will be an actor in these last days. Read Book of Daniel carefully.

    Why does this matter? America is a melting hot pot, of many religions; mostly gentile.
  • Gene Redwood - In Reply - 2 years ago
    When Christ returns, He will defeat the remaining armies of the world. America is not among these armies. America didn't survive. anti-christ destroyed Mystery Babylon.
  • Emily - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Gene Redwood,

    I'm starting to see that too, it's frightening how we bring it upon ourselves. The US can be overpowered. If you chart US history past WWII, America has its hands in everybody's pie. But, oh, what a magnificent empire. A year ago, I would have stuck up for my red, white, and blue, but God showed me her fate. Some scriptures, I don't know if it's Rome, or the US capital they're talking about.

    Be safe, and God bless.
  • Thomas Messimer - In Reply - 2 years ago
    I can't disagree with anything you have said. America being the melting pot presents it's own problems. As I recall, the Lord is not too keen with the concept of mingling and for good reason. Every time they mingled they ended up worshiping idols and hearkening to Baal. And there was great shock and misery as a result of God's wrath. I believe the world has fallen in such a way. There is no question in my mind that the world is under judgement.

    Most people feel and have been told that Gog/Magog are Russia. I don't really believe this as my other responses indicated. That said, I feel that Russia along with many nations will comprise Satan's army at Armageddon.
  • Last Days Evangelists of the Harvest - In Reply - 2 years ago
    I have several Arthur E Bloomfield books. He's deceased and his books are really hard to find. His books were written with a lot of maps.

    He was way ahead of his time. I really believe the Lord was showing him things, because nothing that is occurring now, he could've seen in the natural. God was with him.

    I don't think we should argue our way through these matters. I know absolutely that if we will spend time in Gods presence that He will reveal key things.

    I'm thinking of the false prophet problems we'll have with them trying to get rich and I guess they are planning on living through what happens after the tribulation, incredulous as it is. Who knows how big that Wormwood star is...NASA is not showing that online like they used to. It is plain nuts for people to think they can wait out the Apocalypse on Mars or the moon.

    I've been in evangelism since I was born again. I did it all wrong. Had my head down boo-hoping one night and the Lord said so clearly, "Are you through trying it your way?" I said, YES SIR!!. And my life and love of winning the lost changed. He iS the LORD OF THE HARVEST.

    We need not be so scared to ask the Holy Spirit for His Gifts. He alone knows what we need.

    It's not scary as long as we have Him helping us.

    Matthew 24 and Luke 21 will open a lot of dialogs.

    Tom M,

    Those who attack Israel are of anti-christ. What happened to Russia 12/25/91? Deadly wound has healed into the Russian Federation.
  • TomM - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Deadly wound? Surely you don't compare Russia with the beast of the sea? Mikhail Gorbachev the beast? That's a bit of a stretch. I tend to believe the Antichrist will be a living entity not a country. He will be assassinated and resurrected which means he's not human. If you wanted or insisted that a country would be such a thing, then it would be the US. We are receiving that deadly wound right now as we speak. And it is a kill shot. But, somehow we might rise again if it's God's will.
  • James Argon - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Tom M,

    What are the 10 characteristics of the beast?
  • Thomas Messimer - In Reply - 2 years ago
    I don't understand the question
  • James - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Tom,

    There are many scriptures that explicitly describe the beast. Example: even he is the eighth and is of the seven". For you to gain credibility over opinion, you must demonstrate who the beast is by behavior and physical location. Much is given about Jeremiah 15:8 throughout the Bible. Also, the beast courts 10 nations who give their power to the anti-christ for one hour.
