Know that summer is near - we are now living in the last of the last days

[JaumeJ]

Actually the Bible says that God has ordained the governments as a restrainer of evil
which is why he says that we should submit to them

No mention, nor reference to worldly government in my post. I am well aware of what is written in the Epistles, and I know the how-to that accomopanies the writings on this subject.

God bless you, my reference is to my politics..........mine are eternal.

The Rapture of the Church could happen any moment.

Matthew 24

“32 Now learn a Parable of the fig tree (the Bible presents three trees, the fig, the olive, and the vine, as representing the nation of Israel, nationally, spiritually, and dispensationally); When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves (is meant to serve as the illustration of Israel nationally), ye know that summer is near (refers to Israel as the greatest Prophetic Sign of all, telling us that we are now living in the last of the last days):

33 So likewise ye (points to the modern Church), when you shall see all these things (which we are now seeing as it regards Israel), know that it is near, even at the doors (the fulfillment of Endtime Prophecies).”

“34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass (the generation of Jews which will be alive at the beginning of the Great Tribulation; as well, it was a prediction by Christ, that irrespective of the problems that Israel would face, even from His day, they would survive), till all these things be fulfilled (there is no doubt, they will be fulfilled).

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away (doesn’t refer to annihilation, but rather a change from one condition or state to another), but My Words shall not pass away (what the Word of God says, will be!).

36 But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the Angels of Heaven, but My Father only.”


Mark 13

“28 Now learn a Parable of the fig tree (symbolic of Israel and the Second Coming); When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves (refers to the rebirth of Israel as it began in 1948; for about nineteen hundred years this “fig tree” produced nothing, now this tree, taking life from the roots, is beginning to “put forth leaves”), you know that summer is near (Israel is God’s prophetic time clock; looking at Israel, we now know that summer is near, i.e., “the Endtime Prophecies are about to be fulfilled”):

29 So you in like manner, when you shall see these things come to pass (the beginning of these things predicted by Christ, has already begun), know that it is near, even at the doors (should have been translated, “He is near,” because it refers to Christ).”

“30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass (concerns the generation in existence at the time of these happenings, which will be the time of the Great Tribulation), till all these things be done (speaks of the events proclaimed in Rev., Chpts. 6-19).

31 Heaven and Earth shall pass away (better translated, “Heaven and Earth shall pass from one condition to another”): but My Words shall not pass away (what Christ is saying will come to pass, and without fail!).”

We know the summer is near and at the door by an increase of alcoholism. Concerning this Jesus said:

“45 But and if that servant say in his heart, my lord delays his coming (regrettably, most of the modern Church falls into this category); and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens (to not properly love God is to not properly love our neighbor as ourselves), and to eat and drink, and to be drunken (proclaims Believers who have ceased to believe and have, thereby, lost their way, which will ultimately conclude in the loss of their souls; as well, this completely refutes the unscriptural doctrine of Unconditional Eternal Security);

46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looks not for Him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers (this clearly points to former Believers who have ceased to believe and will, thereby, die eternally lost [Heb. 6:4-6; 10:23-29]).” Luke 12

“WATCH AND PRAY

34 And take heed to yourselves (begins a portion of teaching that applies to the entirety of the Body of Christ, and for all times), lest at any time your hearts be overcharged (weighed down) with surfeiting (debauchery), and drunkenness, and cares of this life (things which are not spiritual), and so that day come upon you unawares (actually points to the Second Coming, but can point, as well, to the Rapture and Death).

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them who dwell on the face of the whole Earth (in other words, things will not turn out as man thinks they will, for the Second Coming will change everything).

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always (watch events which transpire, and equate them in whatever capacity with the Word, asking the Lord to give discernment), that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass (it speaks of the Rapture of the Church; the “worthiness” spoken of here by Jesus has nothing to do with self-righteousness, but rather the righteousness which is freely given to anyone who expresses Faith in Christ and the Cross; that and that alone is the key), and to stand before the Son of Man (refers to being taken to be with the Lord before the Coming Great Tribulation [I Thess. 4:13-18]).” Luke 21

I've been having many dreams of running from something and I'm not alone, many others in the body of christ have been experiencing this too lately. In one dream myself and 2 other people "3 people total" were in a school lunch line waiting to get our food and they were scanning the kids' hands in front of us, but we began to become uneasy and ran from the line together and began to be chased. The next dream I was on the run and had to steal food to survive, there was a camera watching my face and could tell my age, name, and gender as I went into a gas station and stole a "3 musketeers candy" I don't even like these, but for some reason the 3 was important in both my dreams. I woke up and started hearing and seeing little shadows run around my room as if I was being robbed by something. Then the spirit spoke to me, "I come like a thief in the night." "No one will be able to buy, sell, or trade without the mark." "I am 3 in one." "I come quickly." "Like a pregnant woman having a child and in labor pains, you will know the child comes soon but not the day or hour, so shall I come." I have been feeling an urgency like never before, having more dreams and hearing words... Give up the things of this world, they do not matter, only the souls of all matter, we must fight in spirit and follow our Lord Yeshua Jesus Christ in spirit and truth. He has given us time, please run into his arms. He is ready for all of us. Just ask God about the things I've shared with you, let him lead you in spirit to truth. Sholom.

Dream Jan 2nd 2019

I was in holding with the rest of the world's population we each inside our own separate translucent spheres and hanging from a ceiling with chains falling all around us, we could all see one another but I was the only one seeing the chains around us. I then look around at everyone inside their spheres going about their daily lives, playing games, watching TV, on their phones talking to one another... I then realized we were in a prison, but this prison was made to be our reality a matrix of things so no one would ever put the pieces together and wake up and see the binding chains surrounding our lives. Once I had awaken my sphere popped like a bubble and I woke up on a street in an old city where the homes and streets were of clay and mules walked about. A man was sitting in a corner wrapped in sackcloth robes but I couldn't see his face. He spoke to me saying, "I will die and return in 3 days, I will come for lamb's hide, can you get this lamb for me? Make sure the hide is aired out for 3 days and that there be no blood, just the white wool hide of the lamb." I nodded and went to a lady who specialized in hides far out of the city and picked up the dried out lamb hide that had been there 3 days, I threw it over my shoulder and it was so beautiful and white no blood in sight. I carried it back to the town to deliver the wool hide to the man, but once I made it back to where he was I was lifted into a tunnel going into the sky and light was at the end of it.

Once the dream was over I woke up confused and began to ask God for meaning of my dream and he gave me a beautiful answer filled with scripture.

1 John 2:15-17
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

Isaiah 61:1
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

John 8:32
And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool."

Revelation 19:7-8
Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure”— for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.

John 16:13
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

Romans 8:9
You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

Romans 8:5
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

Galatians 5:16-18
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Romans 8:13
For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

John 4:23
But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.

He was making it clear that he comes back for those who seek him in spirit and truth, he desires us to have absolutely no ties to the flesh when he comes for his bride. Our sins must be blotted out through repentance so that they become white as wool, there be no blemish on his bride. The only way this is possible is to follow fully in spirit and ask him for guidance in all things we do, follow not the ways or traditions of the world, but seek to please him alone... for he comes quickly. Sholom.
