You couldn’t tell it by the way I’m being piled on about a silly question I asked last night.

LOL :)

Don’t you know, you have to be what they call “rapture ready.” I guess that means dressed in your rapture best, and for God’s sake, have clean underwear. It’s not sufficient to be saved; you have to be looking up all the time.

LOL.

I always figured God will like me just fine in my ratty Richard Petty, or Carolina Panthers t-shirt and shorts.

As for clean drawers, since being married, that ain’t been an issue. :)

In all seriousness, if you know in your heart, and can answer the question, “Are you going to Heaven?” honestly to yourself, why would anyone be worried about Armageddon.

You can help others know the truth, but they have to make that decision. The best way to do that is demonstrate God’s Love, not tell them “if you’re not saved the Anti-Christ is going to drop a nuke on you.

They can read all that for themselves. I am not a Biblical Scholar, I only know what it says to me. I think God speaks to everyone who reads the Bible, in ways meant for that person. To me It’s the miracle that is the Bible.

I was just reading “if you will ask” by Oswald Chambers and he is teaching about the kingdom. The temptation of Christ reveals how the true kingdom is established, not by making bread, not by doing a great miracle of leaping from a tall building and not getting hurt, and not by worshiping anyone or anything other than the One True God.

The anti-Christs (satan, the beast and the false prophet) will in fact establish world rule by doing all three things. Providing material wealth, doing signs and wonders, and making people choose to bow to the beast through shock and awe, and so they can eat and buy the latest gadget.
