May Day protests across Europe and Asia turn into anti-American, anti-Israel political battlegrounds



Need a May Day is pagan holiday topic, it actually be true.


This quote from the article hits the nail on the head about apostate Europe.
""These May Day protesters should be demonstrating against the brutal tyranny in Tehran instead of protesting against U.S. military action, and this is an illustration of the complete moral vacuum that exists in Europe today," Gardiner said.
 
Hey man, it's not me that's casting 1/3 or more of the Bible into the rubbish heap.

And BTW......it should be clear by now that I have all the right answers (and questions). Why is this the case? Because I am actually referring to the Bible on these matters. Without prejudice.

Actually, you do throw 1/3 of the bible called the New Testament into the garbage.

No, not really. Rather I understand it and embrace all of it fully.
Game set match again folks. Why do the replacement theology crew keep coming back for more failure and defeat?

Luk 1:17
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias (but he was not Elijah), to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

Mat 17:10
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias (the original one....resurrected along with Moses) must first come?

Mat 17:11
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

Mat 17:12
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

Act 1:6
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”

Act 3:21
“whom heaven must receive ***until*** the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.

Mal 4:5
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD (YET FUTURE).
 
You think in the future the people of Egypt will go to Jerusalem and keep the Feast of the Tabernacles?

So then basically you asserting Jesus is not the embodiment/fulfillment that which was fading?

Once again this fits in completely with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and the remnant>> spiritual Jerusalem/Israel and their protection against its enemies, not about a future millennium.

You read all these passages in literal sense without really grasping what is meant by idiomatic terms like" heaven and earth" and and the prophecy being given through figurative language like when God's/ Yahweh's feet stood on the Mount of Olives within the context of the entire chapter.

Please employ your literalistic hermeneutic to John the Baptist when he is quoting Isaiah,

Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth;
Isaiah 40:4

Did John the Baptist change the landscape?

@ChristRoseFromTheDead is indeed correct with his rebuke, I am horrified at this doctrine that denies the finished work of Christ Jesus.
You actually think that King Jesus is going to rule His own resurrected sinless perfectly holy Bride with this rod of iron?

No, He doesn't, it's unnecessary.

However, He DOES need a rod of iron to rule still fallen gentile nations all throughout the millennium.

Any more questions?

[Psa 2:9 KJV] 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

[Rev 2:27 KJV] 27 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.

[Rev 12:5 KJV] 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne.

[Rev 19:15 KJV] 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

I have no clue why some think revelations happened 2k years ago.

The first 3 chapters are about church conditions back then. The 7 seals were opened when Christ received the dominion and a kingdom from his father nearly 2000 years ago. The events of the 1st 5 seals have been happening for the past 2000 years. The 6th seal describes the day of the lord, which includes the 7 trumpets and 7 bowls of wrath., so that is yet future.
 
When did the old covenant end?
The Nation Israel (GOMER, NAOMI) is redeemed as a result of the New Covenant. Obviously.

I mean that is literally what Jeremiah 31 is saying.

Jer 31:31
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

Jer 31:32
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:

****************************************

This New Covenant is also that which the gentile Bride (RUTH, ASENATH) enters into for the remission of sins, whereby she is likewise made perfectly righteous and holy.

Mat 26:27
Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

Mat 26:28
“For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Gen 24:58
Then they called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” And she said, “I will go.”

But where are your actual codified verifiable Biblical references, unambiguous and scholarly knit together, whereby you should make these specious claims?

None of which answered my question.
 
They've murdered people all over the world, they're terrorist. These people that are on Tucker Carlson and Candice Cameron, they should all be sent to live in Iran for a decade. See what the opinion is then.
They know.

Just like the Iran lovers here.....None would move to Iran, they would have to be SENT.

Sure wish Trump was a King, we could SEND them to Iran.;)
 
My son loves Owen Benjamin and he has a small following which makes me think he is not controlled opposition.. I don't believe he is a Christian though. Your thoughts on him? I think his platform is more geared to young men. My son does listen to his daily podcasts.

I was thinking since you asked.... when I last listened to
Owen Benjamin, he was encouraging men to have big families, learn to fix things, work with their hands and become self sufficient. There are a lot of podcasters, but he's really getting into small farming.
Does your son raise animals or plan on a garden? Just curious because OB really likes that, but we all have different talents.

That's what I like about Owen Benjamin!
My son who is only 20 just purchased 5 acres of land and paid cash. He is getting a driveway installed on his property and eventually would like to build a house on it and have chickens and plant a garden.
Benjamin gives great advice. Because of him my son invested in gold and silver also and has tripled his investments! Owen doesn't believe in debt which is another great thing. He is all about family and community.

My son listens to his podcasts daily.

Israel is in fact our only ally in the ME.
In fairness they're not our only ally, especially after this, but they are our best ally due to the unprecedented first ever team up of the USA and Israel and to great effect I would add too, praise Jesus. Even though the Arab Gulf countries aren't going h.a.m.f. like some wish, they, unlike Europe are gonna pitch in and help and pay. Our genius gigachad Hegseth already ensured it, let the wicked rage about it, their lovers are going down, but luckily not much of them remains, praise Jesus.

Exactly right. All others are helpers if the wind is blowing in the right direction. They are enemies if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction.


And the wind is LEFT and MUSLIM.....So no other friends/allies for the USA.

Canada and Europe should be sucking the lint out of our belly buttons.

Page 337: Revolution & Prophecy (May 2, 2026)​

The discussion is currently focused on the fallout from the Revolution in Iran and the U.S.-led military action earlier this year. While the 2026 "Winter of Upheaval" has transitioned into a fragile truce, the theological debate on the forum is heating up.

Contextual Update​

  • Military Status: President Trump declared a termination of hostilities yesterday (May 1) to address War Powers Resolution deadlines, though the region remains on high alert.
  • Security Aid: A new $8.6 billion arms package was approved for Israel and Gulf allies to sustain air defense kits and laser-guided munitions.
  • Global Friction: May Day rallies in Europe have largely pivoted into anti-American and anti-Israel protests, sparking debate here about "apostate" Western nations.

Key Contributors​

  • cv5: Argues for a literal Millennial reign where Christ rules fallen nations with a "rod of iron." Strongly opposes "Replacement Theology" and maintains a Dispensationalist view of Israel's future.
  • HeIsHere: Challenges literalism, suggesting that much of the imagery (like leveling mountains) is figurative. Takes a Preterist lean, viewing the "finished work of Christ" as the ultimate fulfillment.
  • SonJudgment: Champions the current administration’s "gigachad" foreign policy. Views the U.S.-Israel military partnership as a providential and strategically dominant success.
  • ThereRoseaLamb: Asserts that Israel remains the only true U.S. ally in the Middle East, dismissing other regional players as fair-weather partners influenced by the "Left and Muslim" winds.

Bottom Line: The thread has moved beyond just reporting news; it is now a central hub for debating whether the current Middle Eastern realignment is a precursor to the Day of the Lord.
