A stirring read. Thanks for posting.
WoooHoooo! Maranatha.
A favorite Johnny Cash song speaks to the same days.
“When the Man Comes Around”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9IfHDi-2EA
He ain’t singing about a Zombie TV show.
There’s a man going around taking names
And he decides who to free and who to blame
Everybody won’t be treated all the same
There’ll be a golden ladder reaching down
When the Man comes around
The hairs on your arm will stand up
At the terror in each sip and in each sup
Will you partake of that last offered cup?
Or disappear into the potter’s ground
When the Man comes around
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
Voices calling, voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
It’s Alpha and Omega’s kingdom come
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
It’s hard for thee to kick against the pricks
Till Armageddon no shalam, no shalom
Then the father hen will call his chickens home
The wise man will bow down before the throne
And at His feet they’ll cast their golden crowns
When the Man comes around
Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still
Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still
Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still
Listen to the words long written down
When the Man comes around
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
Voices calling and voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
It’s Alpha and Omega’s kingdom come
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
It’s hard for thee to kick against the pricks
In measured hundred weight and penney pound
When the Man comes around.
Close (Spoken part)
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
And I looked and behold, a pale horse
And his name that sat on him was Death
And Hell followed with him.
Bad days indeed. I pray to see it all from the balcony Up Yonder.
Scuse me.
I thought that Titus destroyed Jerusalem in 70AD and sent the Jews packing to all points of the compass.
When did Titus convert to Christianity?
Titus was Roman and a Pontifex Maximus. Pre-Christian, yes, but some conflate the two.
Speaking of the Jews as you put it “packing to all points of the compass.” All of the info on the Blood Moons brought out that Christopher Columbus was Jewish. That was not in my history lessons and I asked my Sunday School class what they learned about it and one kid said that he was taught Christopher Columbus was a Spanish explorer. . . .here is a link http://yehudafm.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/was-christopher-columbus-jewish/
Converso. His exit was very timely, given other circumstances then extant in Spain.
And Lake Memphremagog.
I also believe it will be the two you mentioned, as they never experienced the death that is promised that all men must suffer.
The two witnesses will die their appointed deaths as all human beings do, and a wicked world will watch and rejoice. That’s what the prophecy says. They’ll lie in the streets for three days and be resurrected, also according to prophecy.
The is both “the Church” and “Israel” seen in Revelation.
God and Abram made a covenant. Only God walked the convenient, not Abram (he was put to sleep). This is illustrative of God’s dealing with Israel.
For example, Israel is Asleep (they are asleep now, until the events in Revelation).
Also, Abram did NOTHING. Usually in a semitic covenant, BOTH parties walked between the halts of the animals....In the case of the Abramic covenant, God did it all. Just as the fulfillment of God’s covenant does NOT deepend on the actions of the Jews!
Just like Christians’ salvation is NOT dependent on OUR actions, but our Faith!
You can complain all you want about how the Jews have not listened to God. He know who he was choosing. He chose a stiff-necked people. They have used their stubbornness to not change ONE JOT or TITLE in the Word of God! If only we Christians with our “bible translations of the week” would do so.
No, We are all saved by Grace, through Faith. Abram was, Moses, were all Jews and the modern Jews will be saved through JESUS (there is only one way).
I would suggest you ask Jesus why he saved the Jews that have been saved and will be saved....We should NOT read scriptures and interpret them and pronounce people damned or saved....That is judging!
Abram looked forward with Faith to the Redeemer. No, he did not have our advantage of knowing his name, but that is not what saves.....
Ignorant fisherman, the unlearned, the least of the least, the least expected, the dispised of this world, the weak of this world God uses.
I might add Ignorant Fisherman ? The last time the Jews and Isreal, oops, I meant ISRAEL he was a babe, a lamb, but when he comes back the 2nd time he IS THE KING ...,. OF all KINGS .
One thing many forget, every king has a usher, the “porter “ opens the gate for the shepherd.
In some translations it says “ the watchman opens the gate for the shepherd “ .
There will be a war and a wedding feast in their own times.
“....Christopher Columbus was a Spanish explorer. . . “
.
Chris was employed by the Spanish crown but he was an Italian by birth.
He could’ve been a Jew, I don’t know.
That’s called replacement theology.
However, no matter,they are God’s chosen people and God has not left them out of his plans.
Yes, there is no redemption with out salvation in Jesus Christ, but God is still working out his plans for Jewish people , the world, and Christians.
>God and Abram made a covenant.<
.
God made the covenant — Abram was the recipient of the blessings that came with it.
That is racist.
I would say that God put them on the shelf for future use and future glory.
Now is the grace age and the gentiles time.
“Damn it!”
No, God AND Abram “agreed” to the covenant, but the only ACTION required was by God.
If Abram did not have Faith (and therefore undertook the covenant), his offspring would not become Israel.
Verse 6 “Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.”
This is a mystery - How can God be sovereign and Man (in this case Abram) have free will. Abram could have NOT believed the Lord.
The answer is that the two are NOT at odds — God’s foreknowledge is across time, whilst Man’s in always in just our time. Both Free Will and God’s Sovereignty are required to harmonize the scripture.
He could’ve been a Jew, I don’t know
The Jo-oos!
See? ...it's all their fault.
Lol.
What, exactly, is wrong with my assessment? Are you asserting that Jews are saved without first converting to Christianity?
