It wasn’t from me, but I don’t consider myself as any kind of prophet. I’m sure of that, because that’s not the way my mind works. I woke up this morning with an Aramaic word on my mind, so vivid that I couldn’t shake it for hours. The word was “anathema.” Up until today, I really never knew what it meant until I started digging into it.

anáthema, a thing set up or laid by in order to be kept, a curse, a man accursed, devoted to the direst ( extremely serious) of woes (great sorrow or distress).

“If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.” (1 Corinthians 16:22 KJV)

maràn athá, the Lord is coming, or will come, and is a “formal act or formula of consigning to damnation." This is an exclamation of the approaching divine judgment.

“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed (anáthema). (Galatians 1:8)

“But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved (anáthema) unto fire against the day of judgment (maràn athá) and perdition of ungodly men.” (2 Peter 3:7)

Noah and his family witness the total devastation of the earth, God’s wrath upon a corrupt world that was in the process of being destroyed unless He (our Lord and Master) intervened. They didn’t suffer God’s wrath, but they witnessed it first hand.

Matthew 24:38-39
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luke 21:28)

There are no prophets today except for those who prophesy what is already written in the Bible- which anyone can read for themselves. There are no new revelations from God to be shared, and no private interpretations of the Bible. But I aprreciate the deeper look into the meaning of some words.

Ya. looking "into the meaning of some words" is what I think God was putting on my mind. I actually think it was for me first, and then I developed an incentive to share it on CC. Hopefully there will be other comments that give us an even bigger picture.

Well, you are just plain wrong...but I won't argue with you. Am sure it would be futile.

I believe unobtrusive is correct in that the end of this age is upon us...The bible does not use the word 'rapture' but it does say the bride will be caught up before the seven year tribulation period. Yes yes. The wrath...That comes in the second half of the tribulation period..But the first half is no picnic either. Anyway....Look up! He is on the doorstep!

The post was to onefaith Denadii...:)
 
I have another view of what might possibly have happened unobstrusive...possibly you are getting the release of the gift of tongues? Unless you already have. :)
 
And I just heard a chorus of voices from the tongues thread correcting me about saying the gift of tongues. Holy Spirit is the gift, and tongues, our prayer language.

All right already, I heard you all...:)

The way I first took what was clearly on my mind when I awoke, is that God was telling me to "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" (1 Peter 5:8)

That's what I felt deep inside anyway.
 
I plan to live to 120 years old...I'm not past middle age yet. I've been retired for twelve years. That makes me feel old. LOL

I started counting backwards at 50. Now I'm 31. The book of Numbers really helped me. LOL

Then that's what it is. :) It does seem that we are in the time the devil knows his time is short.

Agreed! There is no "Godly" reason, unless, it be God's wrath upon a soddish (stupid), and stiff-necked people, that this seemingly apparent pestilence of the locust army is swarming the planet! Some people should be skeered! Very VERY skeered!
