OK- go ahead and believe what you want. Have the ‘sheep and goats’ been judged already?
“OK- go ahead and believe what you want. Have the ‘sheep and goats’ been judged already?”
What part of “all these things” isn’t perfectly clear?
Seems you have a decision to make: believe Christ or the creeds. I know who I believe. Do you?

Thanks for your insight, I always enjoy reading your studies,
As far back as the 70s, I was aware of the prophecy that Damascus would one day become a heap of rubble, and while knowledge of his truth (not just knowledge in general) has continued to increase, its been interesting to watch over the years as world events continue to align with his word and we can more clearly see those days approaching, and with the record of the Gospels we have more than Moses and the Prophets, we have a more sure witness, we are without excuse that any of us should be caught sleeping at so late an hour,
With so many things now occurring in the world, its seems that many will normalize these extraordinary times, as if all things continue as its always been, its clear from scripture that if it were possible even ‘the very elect’ would be deceived and alone in the flesh we cannot adequately discern the signs of the times or properly separate his work in the flesh (Israel) from the spirit (Church) but we require (humbly) the illumination of the holy spirit. “thou art the Christ” and as Jesus responded to Peter, “flesh and blood has not revealed this to you”
I’m not aware if you’ve done a study on the parable of the 10 virgins? I would be interested in reading it if you have,
The parable of the 10 virgins is applicable to today, and even to this very discussion thread, being that it truly is amazing when you consider the time it must certainly apply too, his return, meaning what must be happening in the world at the exact moment he comes for his waiting bride, as is being revealed by the spirit,
1) they are all virgins, (The Church)
2) five are wise, with oil (Holy Spirit)
3) five are foolish,
4) they are all waiting for the bridegroom (Jesus) and
5) they all wake up with the shout, (Trump of God)
6) at the midnight hour (Fullness of Time)
7) “Go ye out to meet him” (with the voice of the Archangel)
And yet only those with oil in their lamps are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb and “the door is shut.” (enter though into thy chambers) (hide thyself a little while, until the indignation be past)
Those without oil in their lamps are aware they missed the coming of the bridegroom, and while they hurry off and attempt to remedy what they lack, the door still remains shut to those without oil (the holy spirit) and with the admonition from the lord himself “depart from me I never knew you”
“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” Matthew 25:13
His coming for his Bride is not this day, this day comes later:
Jesus is returning bodily to this Earth and every eye will see him coming in the clouds with great power and glory, and every knee will bend, and he will sit forever upon the throne of David as King of Kings and Lord or Lords forever,
