Your perspective has
ABSOLUTELY NO REMOTELY ADEQUATE EXPLANATION
for how many dozens of people over more than 150 years could come up with dreams and visions without any awareness of others that are extremely congruent describing the same events.
However, we realize that denial is quite popular in our era. The DIMRATS swim in it.
Therefore?
PING
Therefore the verse has nothing to do with the timing of the parousia.
Disturbing indeed ... pastors should know how to properly use apostrophes!
CA has a LOT of people, many conservative. The eastern and central portions of CA are conservative. California is labeled for the representatives, like Boxer and Feinstein, the Governator etc. the Hollywood left and the West Hollywood, San Francisco queer crowds. Political correctness dorks in the densely populated city areas along the coast fill in the margin, and viola! CA is the most corrupt place in the US.
Where you lived, and my folks still live, produced and elected such conservatives as Duncan Hunter. Only a relatively small margin exists between conservatives and liberals, and that means MILLIONS of conservatives suffer the liberal govt that has dominated the state. In most every state, the margin between the two extremes is not that great, and the MSM and public education with their anti-American agendas have succeeded in compiling the numbers to see the entire country go the route CA is laughed at about.
What was it Solzhenitsyn said about the line between good and evil and the human heart?
True.
Can't necessarily put the extra apostrophe here on God. The "prophet" could have done that absentmindedly. But God sure does like to mix metaphors. I wasn't aware Jonah went to Damascus. Different fish, maybe.
He caught the 12:00 fish, from Tucson. Something with legs, of course, to get him inland.
Cool post.
Just another fish story:
I swear it was this big and gave me great advice on the Stock Market.
OH, SO GOD WASTED WORDS IN HIS SCRIPTURE?
NONSENSE.
WHAT UNMITIGATED BALDERDASH.
AGREED. WELL PUT.
OH, so when God's words in scripture don't refer to what you want them to refer to they are "wasted"? Okayyyyyyyyyyy.
When a fault starts shaking .. it can sometimes continue for days or months.
They have sensors all over the place and can usually tell which fault line has been affected. As other quakes continue on that same fault line, they are considered “aftershocks” of the same quake. The original quake is usually much larger than the aftershocks.
You’d have to check with the USGS for info as to the fear of one quake causing a larger one - I believe it’s very unusual, but I don’t have any stats.
Sounds like level one is good, but you find lots of things interesting that are off the beaten path, can I have both?
No sweat.
I’ll list you on all 4 levels then.
Let me know if it gets to be too much . . . though recently, I’ve only tended to ping level one as all the things I care to bother with seem pretty important to me.
BLESS YOU IN YOUR PREPARING AND DRAWING CLOSER TO GOD.
I would imagine that you’d likely know better than to imagine that I’d think that to the tiniest degree.
IF THOSE WORDS DID NOT PARTICULARLY REFER TO THE END TIMES—as in the birth pangs level, part, era that will increasingly transition into the GREAT TRIBULATION . . . ,
what might you imagine would have been their purpose
OTHERWISE???
Lots of pagans sound much more alert to the END TIMES goings on and Biblical truths about the same than some of the “Christians” hereon.
Shocking.
IMHO, it might be more likely that God, in His grace, might discipline a nation in advance of the Great Tribulation, as a reminder to the rest of the world of Who He really Is.
The US has degenerated by several generations in our thinking from what we were a century ago. That degeneration has picked up momentum and will likely take something in the way of discipline to shake us up out of acquiescence to corruption in our souls. There are too many Americans who simply live by what is right in their own minds, opposing those who think nothing matters, and both have different agendas. Very few live by virtue in this generation.
Where wee tempt to influence other peoples to also degenerate further from God by faith in Christ, we simply invite national discipline upon ourselves.
