><>..Steve, I have assumed nothing my friend...nothing
Also Steve, Jesus told us :
Luke 21:9-24
9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
(KJV)
Luke 21:7-8
7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
(KJV)
Luke 21:7-8
7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
(KJV)
Many shall come...Including satan himself....he wants nothing more than to take the place of God...Remember steve,he comes in peace Daniel...not as a monster..he comes as Jesus...1 Thess...that is why Jesus warned us...He was talking to believers...not unbelievers, it will be believers that are deceived.
It is written.....there is nothing I loathe more than someone attempting to tecah the sacred word of God...without opening their heart and mind to His truths, and that is done everyday within our church....It went on in the days of our lord and it has not ceased...to the contrary it has gotten worse...God hepl His people...I will not allow anyone to tell me what the word of God says any more EVER... without doing my own study, and that take some dedication and proper tools....It is not just a question of reading it...although that is a grand place to start..<g>
Sincerely
Love in our Lord Jesus
Shalom....><> |
