    Contact ACLJ.org and see what recourse you might follow. They're an organization that goes after those who persecute others because of faith in the system that's supposed to work.

    If they don't manage that kind of litigation; ask if they can point you to an attorney who does.

    Dear Jonathan Grove, God blesses us in many ways we can be alone for a time I learn it is good to be patient be friends first to find that you are truly a match not to rush into a relationship without commitment life is a Journey of ups and downs always have Jesus in your prospective then you will meet her your wife
  • Jonathan Grove - In Reply on Matthew 24:9 - 3 years ago
    Thank you for the scripture, the prayers, and the advice. I would love if God sent an angel to find my Rebekah! I appreciate your prayers for me that God will send an angel to do that. I will definitely study that scripture passage and pray for that as well! I also appreciate the advice about the church group for singles, hopefully I will be able to try something like that. Thank you so much. May God bless you.
  • Mishael - In Reply on Matthew 24:9 - 3 years ago
    I agree with you that the scripture you've chosen is a good foundation for search. I have another you should use too.

    Knowing how hard it is with Churches closed, to search. See if your Church has any organized activities for singles, like: meet for lunch; movies, meet at each other's apartments for coffee, chat or board games. Have to work around co-vid you see. Put a sign up sheet on a church bulletin board online. See what happens.

    In the mean time, set aside an hour a day to sit in silence before the Lord (fast from all media). Read Genesis 24; where Abraham sends his servant to find Isaac a wife. It's a perfect Read for you.

    Ask the Lord to send an angel to find your "Rebekah" and bring her to you. You are going to have to keep your faith strong.

    You can ask God how the search goes? Is there anything you can do for Him while you are waiting? Consider "enlarging your tent".

    The son of man will rapture his church in 2026.Dan.12:11-13.Refer the setting up of Al-aqsa/Dome of rock in 691 AD +1335years=2026.
  • Gerard McGoldrick on Matthew 24:9 - 3 years ago
    Dear Heavenly Father, Yahweh, God, I come before You today, as Abraham when he obeyed You to sacrifice his son Isaac, an act which prefigured the sacrifice of Your own Son, Jesus, on the cross, and as Moses, as he wandered forty years before entering the promised land, and claim, as a faithful disciple of my own forty years standing, Your promises of healing, prosperity and length of life. May I prosper in the "land" to which You have sent me, the Independent Community Living Association, in Sydney, Australia, and may I be blessed with abundance, materially and spiritually, therein. May I be healed of my infirmities, (diabetes, schizophrenia, an acquired brain injury), and thereby blessed to live a long and healthy life, in the company and service of Your dearly beloved Son, Jesus, the promised Christ. May I be uplifted to Your throne of grace, dwelling always in Your presence, and may I die a happy, holy death, hopefully well advanced in years. I ask these things in the name of our Lord and king, Your well-beloved Son, Jesus, the Christ. Amen.(Can I get an agreement?).
  • Choosing God above all Others on Matthew 24:9 - 3 years ago
    God created Adam in his image and likeness. He gave Adam DOMINION over the earth and all the creatures on it.

    He did not give Adam dominion over other humans.

    There were "inhabitants" living on earth, who were the 1/3 of created angels who revolted and followed SATAN to the earth. They had bodies at that point. However all of them DIED in the flood of Noah. They no longer had bodies. Their spirits survived to become principalities and powers; DEMONS.

    Their desire now is to find human bodies to inhabit.

    Jesus cast out devils from one possessed man, and the demons begged Jesus to let them possess some pigs. He did but the pigs ran over a cliff and Died. No bodies again.

    There are lots of people on earth that invite demons to inhabit their bodies: people in the occult. ie: witches, warlocks, card readers, phone-a-psychic, astrologers, people who read their horoscope every day!

    The Bible mentions 'familiar' spirits (demons). They have no bodies so they can look through your past history and give you the info and then people believe people who give readings are the real deal.

    They want to turn people away from God and His Word (The Bible) to get a word of encouragement; as we do in here. We encourage and teach others what we have learned. I know God doesn't want us to read our horoscope and later, read a chapter of the Bible. That is a MIXTURE, and God hates mixtures. Look it up.

    Most Churches do not teach on these matters! They don't want to scare your Tithe, elsewhere. Pay for silence. Then you experience some horrid things in your life and you wonder why God doesn't love you? Why doesn't He answer your prayers?

    He's waiting on you.

    Why should He speak to you if you're going to run to an occultist or psychic, to get a word too??

    Throw out your idols! Your heart will lead you to them. If you have extended family that does that stuff; stay away. If your church won't mention it? Find another who does.

    I pray you will be healed. Amen.

    Don't get left behind because you chose the wrong Tribulation THEORY.

    Choose Jesus NOW
  • Anthony Gyasi Nketiah on Matthew 24:9 - 3 years ago
    He would have lost his life.He chose to fall into the hands of the lord for he knew that the lord is merciful and will temper justice with mercy.As it is written somewhere that let us find Grace to help in time of Mercy.

    God bless your sweet soul. I cannot express enough my gratitude for your prayer and wisdom. I did as you suggested and will keep on.

    I'm was so depressed this morning until I saw your sincere words of loving care. God bless you Marie.

    Please anoint Remy with oil in the name of Jesus, olive oil, place the oil on your finger and touch the spot where the tumor is and pray for it to shrink in Jesus name. Do this every day and i am praying with you for Remy's healing.
  • Bob Hilt - In Reply on Matthew 24:12 - 3 years ago
    There is actually more than one book called Enoch. The one translated by Charles is the one those in the Bible community read. The other is about Magic. There is much debate about the contents of that book. Those who deny the Sons of God are the fallen angels of Genesis 6 hate that book. Job 38 tells us the Sons of God shouted for joy at the creation of the earth. Adam did not come until 6 days AFTER the creation of the earth. So Adam could not have shouted for Joy before he was in existence.

    Believers do not become Sons of God till they are born of the Spirit in the New Testament. Adam was called a Son of God since he had no earthly mother and Jesus is the ONLY BEGOTTEN Son of God.
  • Mishael on Bible Covenants on Matthew 24:12 - 3 years ago
    Very enlightening to google Bible Covenants! Covenants are very binding and that's why we are warned to not enter one lightly.

    1 Samuel 18:4 Exchanging Armor

    And Jonathan stripped himself of the ROBE that was on him and gave it to David, and his ARMOR, and even his SWORD and his BOW and his BELT.

    Jesus exchanged HIS armor with US. Why?

    Because we are warring against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:10-18. Read ALL those center column references to other Books. See Isaiah 24:21-22. Romans 13:1-5,11-12; John 12:31

    Jesus did not leave us here to just wear a wedding garment and hold a lamp of oil.

    He left us scripture that we are to war against spiritual war in the heavenlies. It's about strong faith and prayer: intercession; "standing in the gap". Jesus is making intercession for us right now! People come into the prayer room with grievous problems we SHOULD BE praying & doing war for. Ephesians 6:12, Romans 8:38, Colossians 1:9, 16-17; 2:15. 1 Thessalonians 5:8

    Standing in the gap is when you hold a lamb in your arms of prayer, and war against the demonic hoards that are trying to kill it; steal its life, destroy its hope in Jesus! It should make you want to save that lamb. Do you have any lambs in your life? Are you willing to snatch it out of the hands of Satans hoard of demons, WITH the WORD of God?

    You have a wealth of Bible Knowledge but are any lambs being saved with weighty speech? Don't you want to receive a Crown at Bema Seat? What would Jesus do? He showed us in His Gospels. If we are His followers we will imitate what he was Doing.

    Multitudes of people just in America, are committing suicide for unbelievable reasons. That's on Satans scoreboard. Is there anyone who will challenge that? Do you know how to take the scriptures and frighten the demons off of someone on a chair with a rope around their neck? Or a hypodermic needle going in an arm.

    Parents!Pray rightly for your kids. Punch out Satan

  • Mishael on Ephesians 1 chapter 3 - In Reply on Matthew 24:8 - 3 years ago
    Ephesians chapter 3

    9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ

    10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

    11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord

    12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

    God wants us to see the mystery that has either been under explained, or over explained by people.

    God purposed

    Jesus created

    (Holy Spirit performed it)

    God wants us to have faith to understand The mystery. Everything we've seen or known reflects what The Godhead has done for man/woman to discover in Gods Word (the Bible). Jesus, is the Word of God. Three persons; One God. They talk amongst themselves. (See verses that start off saying, LET US.)

    A brief comment for a large mystery.
  • Chris - In Reply on Matthew 24:8 - 3 years ago
    That His original Design displayed in the Garden of Eden ( Genesis 1 & 2) would once again be restored in the future. What Satan had done to the Earth & to mankind, causing us to spurn God's Love & Fellowship, would no longer occur again as he, with all unbelievers, would be relegated to the Lake of Fire forever. ( Revelation 20 & 22).

    So God gives each one of us the opportunity now to turn away from sin & hell ( 2 Pet 3:9) & to be blessed with the joy of forgiveness, with new life now & also in the world to come.

  • Bob Hilt - In Reply on Matthew 24:8 - 3 years ago
    Jesus tells us plainly in Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is

    likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

    25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed (weeds) tares among the wheat, and went his way.

    26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

    27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from

    whence then hath it (weeds) tares?

    28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather

    them up?

    29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

    30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together FIRST first the TARES (WEEDS) tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

    (first the tares WEEDS get gathered, then the wheat last) could it be any more plain than this?

    Matthew 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and

    went into the house: and his disciples came unto him,

    saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

    37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the

    good seed is the Son of man;

    38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of

    the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked

    one;

    39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is

    the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

    40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the

    fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
  • Anita - In Reply on Matthew 24:8 - 3 years ago
    yes, this is my understanding as well.
  • Jesse - In Reply on Matthew 24:8 - 3 years ago
    Veronica,

    We are given an account of the horrific events of the Tribulation in Revelation Chapters 4 through 29. This is a time when God will pour His wrath on on an unbelieving world. There is no place in scripture that tells us that God's wrath will be poured out on believers. In fact, in 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5, it tells us that we are not appointed unto wrath, but to salvation. During the tribulation, there is no mention of the church until Chapter 19 when Christ comes back. But it says that He comes back with all His saints (The Church). If we come back with Him, it would seem to me that we are in heaven with Him during the tribulation. Plus, there is a wedding taking place in heaven before Christ comes back with His saints. We are His bride and this wedding is taking place in heaven while the tribulation is still happening on the earth. So, with that being said, I also agree with you the the church will be removed prior to these horrific events take place. There would be no purpose for us to be here during that time.
  • Bob Hilt - In Reply on Matthew 24:8 - 3 years ago
    Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:52 - In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the LAST TRUMP last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

    We are changed at the LAST TRUMP and where is this found?

    In REVELATION, the LAST BOOK of the Bible there are 7 trumps and the 7th trump is the LAST ONE and is at the end of the tribulation. there is not a 7th last trump prior to the tribulation.
  • Bob Hilt - In Reply on Matthew 24:8 - 3 years ago
    The First Resurrection is of the dead in Christ and the Second is after 1000 years. Paul wrote that the Dead in Christ MUST rise FIRST, THEN we who are alive and remain will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.

    1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

    16 ...and the dead in Christ shall RISE FIRST

    17 THEN we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them...

    In Rev. 20:4-5, John sees the souls of Saints who were BEHEADED for refusing the Mark of the Beast during the Great Tribulation. John writes that they will rise and reign with Christ for 1000 years and that this is the FIRST RESURRECTION!

    If according to John, the beheaded rise in the FIRST resurrection and Paul said those who are alive and remain are not caught up until AFTER the dead in Christ are resurrected, then this means the catching up or rapture takes place AFTER tribulation!

    Now compare the above with 1 CORINTHIANS 15:20-23:

    20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of those who slept.

    21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

    22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

    23 But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; AFTERWARDS THOSE WHO ARE CHRIST'S AT HIS COMING.

    Notice only one resurrection of the dead in Christ is mentioned here! Which, according to Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 must take place BEFORE we who are alive and remain are "caught up" with them!

    When did Jesus say the dead in Christ would be resurrected?

    John 6:39-40: Jesus said, "This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up ON THE LAST DAY.
  • Bob Hilt - In Reply on Matthew 24:8 - 3 years ago
    WHEN IS THE RAPTURE / RESURRECTION?

    In Revelation 20:4-6 the last book of the Bible there are only 2 more FUTURE Resurrections (Raptures) spoken of: (after the 2 witnesses appear)

    4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

    5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the FIRST RESURRECTION. or rapture

    6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the FIRST RESURRECTION: on such the SECOND DEATH hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
  • Veronica Bowen on Matthew 24:8 - 3 years ago
    I am having a (sometimes heated) discussion. I say the Rapture will come before the Tribulation. He says the Tribulation will come before the Rapture. What are some Scriptures that I can show him that will show that the Rapture will precede the Tribulation?

    Thank you.
  • Mike on Matthew 24:5 - 3 years ago
    Matthew 24:5 KJV

    (5) For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

    Many false prophets shall come in His name (using the name "Jesus") saying that "I am the Christ"....that is, they come preaching "another Jesus" and state that the Jesus that they are preaching is the true Christ.

    They come preaching "another Jesus" stating that their Jesus is the true Christ (I am the Christ) and deceive the many who gladly bear with them.

    2 Corinthians 11:3-4 KJV

    (3) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

    (4) For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

    But the "Jesus" that they preach is not the true Christ but is the "Antichrist"...instead of the true Christ.
  • Mishael - In Reply on Matthew 24:8 - 3 years ago
    We are awaiting, "The fullness of the Gentiles" to be complete. Search those scriptures.

    Go down to the numbers at the bottom (history), and read some of the recent prophetic studies posted on here.
