Now that's funny... I truly did LOL. And it's so true.
I really don't want to run people off, I want to study this out with others to see if I'm right.
I know, I share the same desire brother but there are many who only work evil. I am not trying to change the thread but I just thought these things should be said so after this post I am going to stop the rant. Here is what I base it off.....
And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;[SUP]
19 [/SUP]I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
[SUP]
20 [/SUP]Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
[SUP]
21 [/SUP]And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
[SUP]
22 [/SUP]Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
[SUP]
23 [/SUP]And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
[SUP]
24 [/SUP]But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
[SUP]
25 [/SUP]But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
[SUP]
26 [/SUP]And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
[SUP]
27 [/SUP]And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
[SUP]
28 [/SUP]And I will give him the morning star.
Just as David went to Jerusalem to conquer and those there told him...THOU SHALL NOT ENTER HERE etc etc...but he over came and destroyed the evil there and it was given to him to be a king...not because he sought out the reward of being a king but because he had faith in God and wanted to destroy the evil it was only after that he found out about the rewards of being right. "Remember the verse that says...THEY HAVE THEIR REWARD"
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
[SUP]13 [/SUP]And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
[SUP]
14 [/SUP]And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
[SUP]
15 [/SUP]And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
[SUP]
16 [/SUP]And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
[SUP]
17 [/SUP]For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
.........
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
[SUP]
18 [/SUP]But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
[SUP]
19 [/SUP]In your patience possess ye your souls.
[SUP]
20 [/SUP]And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
[SUP]
21 [/SUP]Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
[SUP]
22 [/SUP]For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
[SUP]
23 [/SUP]But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
[SUP]
24 [/SUP]And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
[SUP]
25 [/SUP]
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
[SUP]
26 [/SUP]Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
[SUP]
27 [/SUP]And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
[SUP]
28 [/SUP]And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
[SUP]
29 [/SUP]
And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
[SUP]
30 [/SUP]When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
[SUP]
31 [/SUP]So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
[SUP]
32 [/SUP]Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
[SUP]
33 [/SUP]Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
[SUP]
34 [/SUP]And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
[SUP]
35 [/SUP]For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
[SUP]
36 [/SUP]Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
