He has prophesied before many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings. The Word of God is not for a long ago time and place. It has lived and spoken to us down through the ages.
I thank God for every day whether I thank it is good or bad , think Revelation shouid bring a person closer To God. I try to understand that every one have to know God in their hearts for their self to know God is to love God.
Ronald; I hope you don't mind me jumping in here. I agree with you! A few examples: The fourth and final kingdom would be hard and cruel as iron, but mixed with the miry clay; that's the world right now! Jesus told the Jews, "I came in my Father's name and you receive me not; another shall come in his own name and him you will receive." even him whom they WILL NOT GIVE THE HONOR OF THE KINGDOM!
"..and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings." As we abide in Jesus and learn to overcome and prove true through our persecutions, trials and temptations, humiliations and chastisements; we increase in wisdom and knowledge, so God can send us to preach His Word, and to Prophesy.
Bruce, you are absolutely right, we are living in the great tribulation is upon us now,and people don't see it, always expecting it in the future. The reason they cant see it, is because their spiritual understanding of God word has not been opened, therefore they don't understand what they are reading. GOD BLESS.
Sabbathkeeperandwife, so happy to hear of your wife's healing. My mother has been diagnosed with cancer also, and is also paralyzed in her lower limbs. We are praying that God will do likewise for my mother. All prayers are greatly appreciated.
Matthew 24:22, Mark 13:20, And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. This is why people will be here during the tribulation period, before the Day of Christ comes back. People need to REPENT of their sins, and believe with a true heart our Lord Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins. Amen.
Barbara; there isn't any Scriptural support for the idea of a Rapture before the Lord's coming. And as far as all these things happening that no one regards or takes warning; this is where we must be patient and persevere. All these things are being sent by God; but the world won't acknowledge that, and call it natural or man made. The reason for the tribulation is that men would repent.
Barbara: No. That's what is happening now. It will get worse. Narrow is The Way, few there be that find it. Most churches have fallen away, they have grown cold,they're not preaching all Truth.We are in The Tribulation. The Great Tribulation is bitting are Our Heels.
The book of Revelation, are these things to happen after the rapture? I don't understand how sinners can be told what Satan has for them for eternity-Hell-and still they follow Satan.
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ for loving us like HE does!!
Ron, I believe you are right. However, concerning the name of the book The Revelation of Jesus Christ given to St. John to write gives all of us human being the whole story of God's divine plan from chapter 1 through 22. This book of Revelation gives us more than enough knowledge to get to paradise. What a blessing glory be to God in the highest. Amen!
God went through great pains, and many, many holy men sacrificed everything, to bring us the whole Bible as we have it today: it must mean that He has A LOT to say to us, when we are able to bear it. I don't think that God wants any of us to not use our brains, and the capacities of moral and intellectual knowledge; that's part of what we are in His image. But some things we must wait for.
Verse 4 - the seven thunders. A lot of people keep trying to figure out what they said but per verse 7 no one will know until the time. The Prophets knew the basics but John died being the only living person knowing the Complete mystery of God, completed! Do I have this right? What are your thoughts?
"And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices." From the coast of Israel the Angel's back is to the north: ( Jeremiah 1:14) "Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land." The Chronicle.
The little book is knowledge of the future, sweet because all want to know what will happen before it does. Once eaten, read and understood, it makes one sick. The end of days war is bitter because of the massive amount of radiation that travels the globe destroying DNA in all life forms. The war will cause a collapse of the ecology of earth. God warns us in advance in parables and symbolism.
Thanks! All things positive appreciated. Wife had cancer. Massive brain tumor. 6 mos prognosis. Took her off chemo and laid hands on her, asking the God of the universe to do His will. She was about shot when we opted for this. Paralysis, no control of lower extremities. That's when I saw the Master work. 3 days- up and in garden. 5 weeks tumor gone. That was 2 years ago. Still kicking,Glory be...
I know that Christ as it is written will be a stumbling block and that's because the world will think when the antichrist gets here that Christ has returned but if you love the Lord Jesus you will do what He says and wait! Don't leave the field but keep on working and don't leave the house top stay on watch for our Christ and when they say lets go to Jerusalem for Jesus will rapture us,don't go!
That's a lovely thought. Unfortunately it's just not what this prophecy entails. It speaks about the time period that is the last stretch of time unto the end. When Daniel was finally understood it was joyous because Daniel was required to unlock the rest of Rev. and the new revelations were commanded to be prophesied to all nations and people. The bitterness was as I said below. It happened.
To eat (absorb) the Word (Truth), it is sweet. But later, when you try to share it with others who don't care, or are not ready, it can make one feel bitter. Even Christ, the Word, can feel frustrated or sad at what was/is going on in the world. It grieved Father that he made men flesh ( Gen 6:6). Just like everyday life. You can love a song or movie and others say "meh." It can dampen spirit.
The next big falling away will be the untimely figs (remnant) when shaken by a mighty wind. Wind is doctrine. Some good, some bad. Apostacy creeping into churches, dulling truth cause many to leave God's remnant They decide the world has more to offer. It doesn't. It's an illusion of satan, spread by Rome's unity lies. God has standards. Lord Lord doesn't cut it. Obedience is required. Study daily
Sabbath keeper and Wife on Revelation 10 - 7 years ago
What made it sweet is that when Dan. became "unlocked" it opened wonderful truths like the 70 wk. prophecy and where we are in time,along with keys to Rev. The bitter part, called "The Great Disappointment" was when Jesus didn't come back when they thought. Miller's church went from 250 k down to just 50 in two weeks. There's another falling away. God bless, hope truth finds all who seek
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ for loving us like HE does!!
