    Prayer for my Sister

    The doctors are saying that my sister Jan has a brain tumor and there is a 99% chance that it is cancerous. It comes as a shock to the family, she is 63 and she has eaten very healthy (organic) most of her life. She has a recently adopted a child (age 8) from Laos which was quite an ordeal...

    Study: History of evil, ebb and flow, increasing worst or declining?

    Most of you would probably agree that in these times evil is at it's worst then it's ever been. I'm not fully convinced of that, but neither do I deny it. The news media (in which most outlets I think are controlled by the devil) are just chomping at the bit to enlighten the evil that happens in...

    The Apostle John's eschatalogy:

    1 John 2: 8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

    The Lord taught us to pray....

    Jesus taught us to pray..."Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven..." Doesn't this suggest that God's will for us is a better future? Not one full of doom and gloom that some Christians would suggest? God's will is that: 1 Timothy 2 2 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications...

    Pray for Thrump, his team and revival

    When Jesus came, he brought division. I believe God is using to Trump help set up or bring an atmosphere of revival and Satan truly doesn't like it. You can see it, it is obvious, those who are against God are against Trump. Anti-Trump protesters are truly irrational. Please pray for Trump and...

    Jesus warned us not too look for Him in Jerusalem

    Matthew 24 Question 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. Question: For those you believe Christ will come again to physically rule in Jerusalem, how will you know if he is...

    The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant - Luke 12:35-48

    Lets dissect this parable. 35 “Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning;36 and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. 37 Blessed are those servants whom the master, when...

    What would have to happen for you to change your Eschatological position?

    In order for me to change my eschatological position, this is what would have to happen; I'd have to be raptured into to heaven. That's it. The temple can't be build until that happens right? But why would I want to come back to earth from heaven, which is golden, to a semi-golden age where sin...

    Jesus can't rule as king in Judah in a future "millennium" according to the bible.

    Jesus can't rule as king in Judah in a future "millennium" according to the bible. If you believe scripture, chew on this, Christ is a descendant of Coniah. Jeremiah 22 28 “Is this man Coniah a despised, broken idol— A vessel in which is no pleasure? Why are they cast out, he and his...

    Christ's has been reigning on Mount Zion since His ascension

    The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom 2 Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, 3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from...

    Revelation 17:18, The great city that reigns over the earth "land".

    Many of you disagree with my preterist view of Revelation and the claim that the great harlot of Rev. 17 is no other then old or ancient Jerusalem. Some anti-preterist refute this claim by stating Jerusalem was never a city in which ruled over the kings of the earth, which can be interpreted...

    Does forever always mean forever? I think not.

    Most Christians seem to think that when God gives a promise with the word or phrase of it being "forever", that it means "forever" unconditionally. If fact many passages do say some things are forever, however, it many other areas we read that these same promises come with "conditions". God does...

    Ezekiel Temple vision, Ezekiel 40-48, a millennial temple?

    I decided to make a new thread rather then hijacking and derailing the thread titled 144000 by Jillyanne. The dialog between Kennethcadwell, JesusIsAll and myself went down as follows: Now concerning the temple in Ezekiel 40-48... Kenneth is correct is saying that the dimensions given...

    Exodus 2:23 - Israel cried out;

    No where in this passage that I can see, in where as Israel specifically cried out to God. The text simple reads "Israel cried out because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage." Godly men who in invoke the name of the LORD, actually cry to Him...

    "Heaven is For Real", should we buy it?

    I know that heaven is Real, but I'm not sure the Burpo's version of it is, and I'm very skeptical and concerned about how quick we are to accept it as truth and apostolic in nature. "Heaven is for real", should we buy it? Is it reliable? I agree with Hank Hanegraaff, that we should be...
