Should we be rejoicing because the end is near? Scripture says something like that but I can't help but feel sad for those who are not saved, and a sense of urgency about it because more and more things are pointing to it all being wrapped up soon.
Guess you can feel relief and sadness at the same time...

the Master told His Own to look for certain signatures of His Arrival Back here, He will reveal those to you.. His Word Declares them........and You will Discern them with the Help of the Paraclete, the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of Jesus Christ, He that was Made a quickening Spirit,


He said, When you see these things come to pass, LOOK UP, for your Redemption Draweth NIGH..

those who are Genuinely In Him, will Know and Will Be Awake.. and they Will Know.. especially the 'spot free Bride' He is coming for... they wont be found in an apostate institution, that claims christ, yet climbs up another way or holds out the Truth in un righteousness.. nooooo these that are In Him, WILL BE REPUGANT to the those 'tares' that inhabit and currently thrive in the Growing Whore of Revelation 17...thats why when He Truly Returns for His Bride, those groups, divisions, sects, denominations, will still be full to the max.. these will move into and proselize from the Global Apostate Whore that is coming with power... as the Mystery of Iniquity moves them to do that and God puts it in their 'hearts' to fulfill His Will, these were never His to begin with. but sown by the other sower, a weedy type.. and those are growing in #'s every year... and the other sower, seeing and being allowed to move forward sows his weeds. look just like the real thing.. but they are man made, proclaim a man made gospel, walk in pride believing Man was created for God's benefit because God just couldnt survive without man being in His Camp.. lolz.. very very evident today..

when ye see these things come to pass.. the Redemption of the Body, the Resurrected Body is nigh!

But, should we? Really? Who knows.
 
I know there are those who will not be saved, and those vessels made for dishonour, and the weeds, and the ones so close it would almost deceive...
But there are many who are nice and loving people., people who're just blind.. Don't you think Noah and his family were sad yet happy to be saved?

I dunno. While I know I cannot do this, Jesus' teaching (and His very real demonstration on the cross) shows that we really SHOULD prefer to even die to let another live... even (especially?) our enemies. Tough thing to get my mind around.

Probably to a certain extent, but they were moved with Reverent Fear, of the LORD, in preparing, they Knew what others did not know.. and even upon observing the Ark Building, these who were outside the boat, they mocked and ridiculed, scoffed... When you as His child , are Given a Promise and you see those things come to pass, even with His Imminent Return, you will be moved with a Reverent Fear of the LORD, to make things ready... sadness for those who will still be here? Oh Some, but you will be given the Assurance, that He will save some of them, He always Leaves A remnant for HImself.. those who will not bow to the image of Baal, which is in Daniels 70th week, comparable to the image of man, heralded thru a counterfeit global gospel, His Remnant, those Chosen in Him from the Foundation of the World, there will be people Saved out of the Hour of Trial, that time frame when God 'tests' those who dwell on the planet.. out of the Reverent fear comes a compassion for those who are in darkness, even though they may be good and not as evil/wicked as some others.... and from that Reverent Fear, comes the Assurance that He will not destroy all those He Tests, but will save Some... He always does that, that is His Holy Character, these chosen out of , saved, not destroyed, He does this because He is good.. not that He somehow needed man to hold Him up.. noooo.. God saves bEcause He is Good, He judges and Pours out His Wrath on un regenerate- apostate flesh/blood because He is Holy... a 2 sided Eternal, who HAS NOT CHANGED..

I am going to say that I personally think a great phrophet did come recently and the entire world ignored it. If you have not read Neale Donald Walschs book Communion with God go get that book. This is phrophetic work. He might be the arch angel Michael, seriously. Well that's my opinion. peace to everyone.

Walschs is pantheistic, get a grip boy!

Oh Please! Things will continue until we do something? What planet did you just zoom in from?

You honestly thing you can do anything about people that are being led by the spirit of satan (I don't capitalize satan).

All through the Old Testamemt people did things by his power. He was the power behind many thrones then and is now.


Good Luck with your doing something! :rolleyes:

Preach the word; be instant (ready) in season, ourt of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2Tim.4:2

If Timothy was only to be concerned with the Gospel, what makes you any different? So what do you thing we should do stone people to death, carve the scarlet letter in their chest? Are you with one of those groups that believe we have to get everything cleaned up and then and only then will the Lord Jesus Christ return?

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness.

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the firey darts of the wicked.

And take the helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching therewith with all perserverance and supplication for all saints;

And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known....the mystery of the gospel...... . Ephesians 6:10-19


Get it?

It says in the scripture you sent me that we fight against spiritual wickedness in high places. Against Principalities IE Government. We can do that here in the USA with a vote. We don't need rocks or swords or even guns. We do need faith. We do need to understand the Bible!!! By that we need to do more then just read it and or memorize it. We must seek real understanding of what it is ment to teach us. That would be the hole armior of GOD. We need to see the real truth. Not just about God but about everything. We must be justified in our actions.The word used is righteous. We must do so in peace. Meaning without violence. We have to be strong in our faith to win a victory. The word of God will help us to win. We must be modist not boostful. We must have perseverance. Meaning it going to take some time. No instant fix.Then God will come and lead us the rest of the way.
 
I don't get the saints part. Maybe we are to raise children in the way Jesus and Moses were raised. I really can't be sure. I'm just trying to learn more. I'm still pretty ignorant on it all.
 
sorry accidentally made 2 post, wow!

I'll report myself again, no worries
 
b/c your too impatient!

don't worry, I lost my patience for myself so....
 
its an answer to the question not an explanation of the answer... if you want that try studying the scriptures for yourself you would be amazed at what you find...

Christianity is about the spiritual, eternal kingdom of God, and the coming kingdom of heaven, when the Lord rules. Christ didn't monkey in politics or teach this. I don't know that there aren't those the Lord tasks with working in the political system, but the Bible presages corruption that will be as in the days of Noah, before He returns. No empire of man has not fallen, under the weight of its own corruption. Once the genie is out of the bottle, it doesn't get put back in. Andy of Mayberry is probably not coming back to prime time. The Bible is clear it's all going to hit the fan, before it gets better for the world, and the warring nations are put down, the goats removed.

There are those of a different viewpoint. I know I feel the Lord cannot come back quickly enough, that ISIS lop off the last head, that the weight of the evil curses and mass sufferings of this world be lifted and righteousness rule. Of course, the Lord works in His time, may have more to save that grace continue, but the Lord will pull the plug, regardless what man does, again, in His time. If the Antichrist is coming, let's get it over with, as I want to see the Lord Jesus ruling, not the failed systems of man, in the first place. The more people wring their hands over this mess, the more I'm thinking, "Hallelujah! One offense closer to the Lord doing something about it, then!" Because, the Bible states this falling away will come. Also, I don't have faith in men. It's not glass half empty: it's the reality.

History classes taught me one thing in neon, that, given enough time, we can royally muck up anything. The Founding Fathers have already rolled over in their graves, are probably spinning like an Iranian centrifuge in them, these days.
