Jesus says no one knows when the end will come so why speculate. We have the Book and conscience to live a good life. God requires us to love one another. If we love God, we do it. Not simply because of the gift of salvation. That is too egoistic
Revelation 16 13 "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. " You know who the dragon is, it 's Satan. These frogs are the lies, and blasphemies, which flow out of the mouths of the Kenites, and all those who have accepted their Satanic dogma even now. These spirits, or lies will deceive the whole earth. They are the teachings of love, peace, joy and brotherhood, only to the wrong Christ, to the wrong kingdom, and to the wrong people.
indeed, the bible contains all the right information we need. we should know where to look and pray for better understanding when we do find it. It is hard to accept though, that 's why many close their bibles because it is straight forward to each and every one
What more proof do people need than I come as a thief is after the Tribulation , just as Jesus told os in Mathew 24. Dont listen to so called experts, read the bible and its all there, no more assumptions like falling away means the rapture or the elect are jews or the restrainer is the holy spirit or the last trumpet is some trumpet from the feast of trumpets !!!!! Paul tells us the rapture happens at the same time as the resurection of the dead , Jesus tells us 4 times when that will be...on the last day !
If this does not strike fear into your heart, then nothing will and you will end up as one of the these men. I take God literally and trust His words to be fulfilled.
I strongly believe that people has heard all their lives that the end is near and since it hasn't happened, people just ignore what this world is really in for and so deserving of god's wrath that they can't see what is really happening. I believe we are in the last days and we could possibly see god coming in all his glory. praise be to god, I'm ready to go home.please wake up people.
Revelation is so highly symbolic I find it difficult at best to recon it all. I too believe it holds much significance but should be studied with a scholar small pieces at a time.
i was wondering about this verse in relation to global warming. here is australia the summers are getting warmer and we are hitting record high temperature. i know of other places where it is getting very hot and another couple of rises will make things very hot. at the same time we are having extreme weather events with very cold and freezing temps in other places. the weather patterns are all out of whack. the freezing temperatures might relate to a passage in the bible that talks about women not having a baby when it gets very cold. so maybe these are signs of the times.
out of the mouth of the dragon is HEROD, and out of the mouth of the beast is PILATE(Roman Govenor), and out of the mouth of the false prophet CAIAPHAS(High Priest)
The mouth of Dragon,is earth it's been here since time itself,Revelation speaks on the future, the future is a myth mixed with mythology that lies with contenders here on earth.
Terry...not sure where you find in Revelation 19:11 7 years of celebration in heaven or 7 years of hell on earth. Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
As this is quite late in the great tribulation, which I believe is 3.5 years in Days ie 3.5 X 365 and 1/4 about 1278 years . This fits with the French Revolution. Evil spirits "leaked out of the mouths of the French" - liberty, fraternity, equality. Stated by the Illuminati � Man�s greed and turns away from Christ or Bible teachings.
MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE AND THEY FOLLOW ME, SAYS THE LORD.THEY THAT HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE MINE, SAYS THE LORD. AS the warning to mankind from GOD, and the examples are in the Old Testament on how GOD destroyed and punished many, yet left us with a choice to respond to HIS authority, that HE means business! NOW, the big test comes when the antichrist will command all humans to be implanted with a MICROCHIP, and worship him. The beginning of sorrows. Here is where GOD will screen his true followers, etc� But happy are those that GOD calls out from this EARTH (DIE), before the WRATH of GOD falls on mankind, and before the antichrist goes into power. But when a family member dies, etc, because it is time, we need to accept GOD'S DIVINE plan."FOR THE ELECT, IT WILL BE SHORTENED�, SAME AS "SUFFER NOT THE LITTLE CHILDREN, FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN�. YES, AS the antichrist is anxious to be revealed, and GOD is standing by to pour the great PLAGUES UPON THE EARTH, BE READY, SAYS THE LORD, THAT NO ONE SEES YOUR SHAME. GOD sends out WARNINGS, before destruction comes!!! MR. BEN (B.L.V.).
Timothy Wayne George on Revelation 16 - 11 years ago
Revelation 16:15 When Jesus says I come as a thief, this is not the pre-tribulation rapture, because that happens in chapter 4:1 Come up hither. This is in reference to His second coming at Revelation 19:11 and it will be sudden with the saints coming with Him who were in heaven. Christ is coming to stop all of the murder, sexual assaults, and witchcraft that are taking place on the earth. The tribulation will last seven years and consist of 21 judgments that will take place to purge the world of sin. Men will continue to blaspheme God, rather than repent of their sin. The goodness of God causes men to repent. The 144,000 Jews will be saved during this time. Christ will come right after the battle of Armageddon. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all men would come to repentance. We are told to watch, and pray so that we can escape this time of great tribulation that will come upon all the world that rejects Jesus Christ as their Lord.
Scripture provides numerous evidence for the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of Christ�s followers prior to the 7-Year Tribulation period described in Chapters 6 through 18 of the book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ, and for their return to earth with Him at His Second Advent.The Scripture passages that speak of Christ �appearing/coming� speak to His followers only, not those unrepentant at the end/battle of Armageddon. Also, this �coming/appearing� for His followers is in context quite distinct from Christ�s Second Advent to earth at the end of the Tribulation. After all, Christ is depicted during His Second Advent as coming to earth with an incalculable number of His followers with Him. In addition to this evidence we have the book of Revelation itself which speaks distinctly for a pre-Tribulation Rapture, via it�s narrative, it�s structure, and unique symbology. Revelation 3 also contains specific statements of keeping believers from Tribulaton while it lacks any statements or direction to Christ�s followers during the Tribulation period. There is not time in Biblical history where God does not speak to His followers. In Revelation, He stops speaking to them at the beginning of Chapter 4, when John (a prefigure of all believers) is taken up in Heaven (a prefigure of the Rapture). We can see in Rev. 13:9 that all the 144k Jews who had been sealed are in Heaven and no on on earth who believes in Jesus is left to preach, so God sends His angels to fly thru th eatmosphere to preach. There are no christians or believing Jews left on earth. Furthermore, the reason for the Tribulation period (explained in the Old Testament book of Daniel) is opposite of the reason for the Rapture. The Tribulation period is a time of judgment when God once again begins dealing personally with His people Israel, when He will once again commissions them to personally spread Christ�s gospel of redemption, while also holding the recalcitrant accountable for rejecting their Messiah. So the Tribulation is totally opposite dispensationally to the time we live in now, which is the "time of the Gentiles" or "church age/age of grace." In the Trib, it will be like the Old Testament in terms of judgment. We are currently under grace, not the OT law. This dispensational age--commonly called �The times of the Gentiles� or �Age of Grace� or �Church Age� will have its end at the time the Lord �snatches away� His followers to keep them from the Tribulation period.
In addition to this evidence Jesus� own words in the Gospels, promises contained in the Epistles of Paul and others, and Old Testament prophesies and prefigures provide numerous proofs to confirm a Pre-tribulation Rapture.
Not totally sure, but looks like this verse goes against the teaching that is popular today w/ many TV ministers. Many today preach the "Pre-Trib" teaching as fact. I agree that the rapture could occur anytime, but it is interesting how the metaphor ("thief in the night") resembles exactly the other verses in Matthew, Luke and w/ Apostle Paul when discussing the rapture.
Rev.16:15 the thief person in Rev.3:3 King James Bible comes again as a thief and this 3:3 scripture shows Holdfast and the Church of Sar'dis and by definition a Holdfast is a frog and three frogs are found in Rev.16:13, does this have something to do with 3:3? Rev.16:13 was always one of those End Time scriptures that has never been broken and must be a Second Christ 'Mystery' Holdfast appears in other verses as well in Rev.2:25 and Rev.3:11 and 'Holdest Fast thy name' in Rev.2:13 and are we looking for a name? So Rev.16:15 the thief appears again one might be naked showing off his legs or an arm,or his shame, shame contains 'she Ma', a she is a her. Dame Dragon = Armageddon is next in 16:16, ma her? Is that Hebrew? If this is a prophesy about 2012, this false Dragon Dame must be a woman always talking about the bible with a distinct voice that the whole world can hear, a true false prophet 'Dame Dragon'. Rev.16:13 shows frogs associated with mouth of a dragon, beast and false prophet, so a 'frog' by definition is a term for having a hoarse or unclear 'voice' and Holdfast appeared in 2:13 and 13 was used in Rev.16:13 for 3 frogs. A frog is also by definition, a fastener or a Holdfast and Holdfast or a 'frog' must be very near Armageddon because the man in Rev.3:3 must be the Second Coming of Christ and must be in the same area as the 'Ma her' Hebrew woman. But must be by a river or body of water as the thief doesn't want to show the body off and Armageddon is a 'Long' way west of the Euphrates and must be the omega or 'Last' body of water somewhere on planet earth. Rev.16:20 shows people can't find the 'Mountain' in these end times. Perhaps a frog or 'Holdfast' will lead them to Armageddon and away from the 'Voice of this false prophet beast, Dame Dragon of 2012. The time has come where we 'May rejoice' and seek the omega and Holdfast to the scriptures and wait for the Second Coming of Christ.
All I read below is true except I feel 100 to 180 lbs hail. Armageddon means the gathering place. All them that gather there are them that love their antichrist, which means instead of Christ. The elect that are chosen to stand in Jerusalem won't be hit. God will make sure. The two witneses will be struck down dead in a large area and I'm sure they will make the news so when we see it the Lord will return in 3 and a half days. Now the people will be throwing a party until the hail comes and crushes them. Don't follow the antichrist or be a part of his system.
Do not be seduced by this modern day father,son,Holy Ghost doctrine by water baptism. To be saved, you must follow the instructions given when the Church was set up on the Day of Pentecost. Peter had the keys and he used them in Acts 2:37,38. Repent, be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ,EVERYONE of YOU and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost...which has the evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance. Praise God for his wonderful plan of salvation. No where in the Bible is anyone ever baptized in the name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. THE NAME IS JESUS. Obey.
REVELATION 16, COMES TO A END WITH A GREAT HAIL STORM WITH 75 POUND HAIL STONES COMING DOWN ON MAN FOR HIS SINFUL WAY'S. MAN HAS COME TO A PLACE OF GOD POURING OUT HIS LAST WAY OF DEESTORYING EVER YTHING THAT IS LEFT ON THE FACE OF EARTH FOR SURE.THIS SURELY CAUSE MANKIND TO WAKEUP AND TURN FROM THEIR SINFUL WAYS AND SEEK GOD WHILE WE HAVE A CHANCE, CAUSE THE WORD TELLS US NO MAN KNOWS THE HOUR WHEN HE COMETH.
