I agree with you. “It is appointed unto man once to die”. Moses will not die a second time.
You sound like you don’t like Free Will.
Well, don’t you know that it was God’s Design for us to HAVE free will?
Did you not know the US Constitution is based on Free Will? i.e. the US does NOT force one to believe in a God, nor “agree” in terms of Free Speech?
Our founding fathers called this FREEDOM.
It is not a bad thing to have Freedom...It’s a bad thing to make the WRONG choice.
To imply otherwise is to for example, blame the Gun for killing people...the Gun has no choice in the matter. it’s the choice of the user that is the fault.
Free Will is a nature consequence of a Just God creating humankind.
Sin is the natural consequence of an imperfect man.
Man became imperfect in his generations though wrong choices.
EVEN IF Adam had not sinned, has not everybody else repeated his error?
God knows what he is doing....We do not.
To argue against Free Will is to argue against God’s design.
You’ll see my friend...
That is true... however the tribulation period or the 70th week of Daniel Or Shemitah year (Dan. 9:26-27) is to get the Jews to a saving relationship to the Messiah and the Two witnesses will be God’s vehicle for doing so (Mal 4, Matt. 17:11) after the “called out assembly” is removed via the rapture (1 Thes. 4:12-18). They are the two candlesticks that will shine (Rev. 11:3-7) when the seven are removed (Rev. 2-3). Only 1/3 of all the Jews will turn to Messiah 2/3 will be wipe out by the Anti Messiah (Zech.13:8, 12:10-14, Rom. 9-11).
Maybe I miss understood what he stated... Act 4:12)
Oh, you will not get any argument out of me. I was only disturbed that maybe some people were arguing that the Jews were saved without faith in Christ. I have seen that awful position before.
indeed.... A global bloodbath (Rev. 6-19) then comes peace (shalom to Israel) Zech.12:10-14, 14, Matt. 24, Rev. 19:11-21.
Salvation, Yeshua the same word. The Lord of my “salvation” Indeed my friend only by the risen Messiah of Israel (Psalm 110:1, Acts 4:12)
My friend,
That is “after” at the end, when He returns (Zech 14:1-4, Matt 25:31-46). Some Jews will receive Messiah by the Two witnesses ministry including the 144,000 Jews (Rev. 7,14). But the majority will not (Ezek. 39:26, Rev. 11:8) as they did 2000 years prior as a nation rejected their Messiah and crucified Him (Isa. 53, Matt. 27:25)
The Key word in verse 26 is “after” which speaks of this time period from Matt 24:15, Rev. 13 to Messiah’s return Psalm 2, Zech 14.Rev. 19:11-21). After this time when the Two Witnesses ministry ends (Rev. 11:7-19) and anti Christ begins his reign (Matt. 15:15-21, Rev. 12, 13). The Last 3 1/2 years (Rev. 13:5).
At the end of the age God will send angels to gather Israel from all around the world and those saved of Israel will enter the Kingdom and will be restored (Jer.31:33:34, Zech 14, Rom. 11:25-26)
Ezek. 39:26-29)
26 After that they have borne their shame (Zech 12:10-14, 13:6,9), and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me , “when” - first 3/12 years - they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid (Ezek 38, Rev. 11:3-7).
27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands (Matt. 24:31), and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations (Deut. 28:13, Isa 2:1-4, Micah 4:1-4, Zech. 14)
28 “Then” shall they know that I am the Lord their God (Zech. 12:10-14, 13:6,9, Rom. 11:25-26), which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen (Matt. 24:15-21, Rev. 12): but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there (Matt. 24:31).
29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them (Zech 13:9): for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God (Jer. 31:33-34).
AMEN!
Are you saying that the faster humanity finds God, the faster this will be over? Are you saying God will speed up time?
If not, according to this article, most of humanity will have to go through the 7 year tribulation (assuming they survive that long) no matter what they do.
No my friend, The Day of the Lord must come and we are at a point in world history where everything is EXPONENTIAL that is why I personally believe that it is at the very door. It is every human’s personal decision and responsibility to use their freewill to turn to Almighty God and His righteousness and be saved (John 1:12, 3:16-17, Acts 16:28-30, Romans 10:2-4, 1 John 5:11-13).
The problem is that the majority of the world will not turn to Almighty God (2 Thess. 2:18-12) and His grace and mercy; and it will all come to an EXPONENTIAL climax called the Battle of Armageddon (Psalm 2, Rev. 16:9,13-16, Rev. 19:11-21).
God’s word tragically teaches that the majority of humanity at this time will not be saved, but adhere and cling to their unrighteous ways (2 Thess. 2:10-12, Rev. 9:20-21).
However multitudes of humanity (out of the billions) will come to the Savior through the preaching of Almighty God’s 2 Witnesses and 144,000 Jewish believers in the Messiah (Jesus Christ)Rev. 7:13-17,
This period is only 7 years long but EXPONENTIALLY HORRIFIC (Matt 24, Rev. 6-16) and at the end of 7 years it will be over with Messiah’s (Christ’s) return to earth at Armageddon to crush Satan’s armies and then He will establish His Kingdom on earth for a thousand years (Dan. 2:43-44, 2:13-15, Matt 24, Rev. 20:4).
After the rapture of the Church (1 Thess. 4:12-18), the 7 years will begin after a covenant is strengthened (Dan. 9:26-27). Then those who are alive and remaining at this time will go through the tribulation period and must likely will perish during it’s horrific time (Heb. 9:27, Rev. 6-16).
But the key is this my friend... We as humans need to see the ETERNAL and not the temporal things of time and this world. Our hope and future is with Almighty God FOREVER in His presence to love, enjoy and know FOREVER (Rev. 21-22:1-5).
When we reject His saving grace, we are only left with our fallen humanity (Rom. 7:10-25) and then ETERNAL ruin in ETERNITY”S prison hold call Hell (Rev. 20:11-15).
If you know the Lord as your personal Savior you are ETERNALLY safe no matter what happens to you (Rom. 8:28-39). In that 7 years period (people who were left behind) who come to a saving relationship to Jesus who die are safe FOREVERMORE for they will be with the Lord in His presence. God gives great hope to all those who trust in Him!
Not against free will, I get to use it every day.
However ? Look at where that free will has gotten man kind, it’s flawed free will with man’s fallen nature intertwined.
That is “after” at the end, when He returns (Zech 14:1-4, Matt 25:31-46). Some Jews will receive Messiah by the Two witnesses ministry including the 144,000 Jews (Rev. 7,14). But the majority will not (Ezek. 39:26, Rev. 11:8) as they did 2000 years prior as a nation rejected their Messiah and crucified Him (Isa. 53, Matt. 27:25)
What is Flawed Free Will?
Can you have free will where there is no chance to choose wrong?
I don’t think you understand that God is not a tyrant. Nor does he want robots.
The flaw is not with free will, the flaw is with the character of the person making the decisions.
Free will is like a proving ground. Even though we all fail, over time, do we start to make the right decisions? A true believer does go through regeneration of spirit, whilst an unbeliever’s corruption gets worse.
Freedom, and Free Will is the result of a Just and loving God, who is NOT a Tyrant.
We should be be praising God for Free Will.

Nowhere does it say Gog attacks Israel, it states Gog comes against the land = Palestinian State!
The Gog Wars are the Wars of GeOrGe
Have you come to take a spoil? GWB attacked Iraq not because of wmd's but because Saddam switched from the petrodollar to the euro.
Now go to Ezekiel 38:2 (Hebrew) and start at the Alef of Nasi (President) and count every 7 letters to find Obama's name encoded, Alef Vav Beit Alef Mem Hei
The Gog wars are almost over... tick tock!
Obama would be alef-bet not alef-vav.
Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasianus Augustus was Emperor of Rome. The other Titus, Paul’s companion - to whom Paul wrote a few epistles - was a Gentile Christian and bishop of Crete in the early Church. Pretty sure he didn’t sack the temple.
