I appreciate your openness and honesty, brother: Matthew 24:44 New King James Version 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

Hey brother, I had a slow night at work last night and was able to do some quality meditation on Gog/Magog and how they may fit into the beast's (Satan's) empire during the last days, and these verses kept ringing in my thoughts: Revelation 13:7-9 New King James Version 7 It was granted to...

Amen. Jesus' revelation to His disciples about end time events in Matthew 24 & Luke 21 are foundational for understanding the tribulation and His return as well. I plan on diving into those in the near future. I love this prophecy for future-state of this world under Jesus' leadership: Isaiah...

I like this one from Zechariah, too: Zechariah 14:4-6 New King James Version 4 And in that day His [Christ's] feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the...

Daniel and Revelation go hand-in-hand, and it's amazing how the two books align with apocalyptic prophecy. All of the great empires of the past rise and fall as God laid out, and according to Henry Halley, a conservative Christian commentator, "the first beast seems to be a political...

Yes, the battle with our adversary is primarily in the spiritual realm, but of course that always spills into our physical lives and world as well: Ephesians 6:12 New King James Version 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against...

it's good to have insight into how the devil feels about us as Christians. He accuses us before "our God day and night," and I'm sure he would love to rip us to shreds if God allowed it. This verse from Revelation reminds me of Satan coming before God back in Job's day to accuse him as well...

I can understand your perspective on this as there is a great deal of symbolism in Revelation that should not be taken literally as some other members have noted in this forum. I do think the 3.5 years could actually be a literal time period for the beast to be in power just before Christ...

Yes. We are and will be engaged in the battle as Christ's warriors as well. Woe to those who are living when Satan and his clan are cast down to earth. That will be the most brutal and vicious war this world has ever experienced, and we've had some wicked ones throughout our history. Ephesians...

And that's the way it should be, Pilgrim, when it comes to controversial subjects like prophecy. Arguing leads nowhere other than increasing the divide between opposing parties. Listening, tactfulness, and love should be at the heart of every discussion we have as disciples of Jesus Christ...

Nice to see you dabblin' in apocalyptic prophecy, brother. I may have to join you a little...

The Spirit must be inspiring us to focus on truth, brother, because that has been a focus for me the last week or so as well. Pilgrimshope has been focusing on truth lately as well. Jesus is truth. Amen.

I have a friend who is going through a painful divorce and has hooked up with a much younger lady. He described this new relationship as a ride the Holy Spirit is taking him on. I'm not so sure about that (case study for the classic "mid-life crisis" for sure). I'm afraid this ride may crash...

Happy Easter! "He is Risen! He is risen indeed!!!" are words that will be ringing out throughout this joyous day! Jesus revealed Himself to Mary that morning and told her to ",,,go to My brethren and say to them, I am ascending to My Father and your Father and to 'My God and your God,'" (John...

Amen. If two simple country boys like us can understand the Bible, anyone can who puts forth the belief and the effort with the Holy Spirit's inspiration.

I really enjoyed this post, Pilgrim. It's like you just poured out your heart to us on the significance of Jesus' sacrifice on a personal level--powerful testimony! It's interesting that John skips the interim period between Jesus' death and resurrection in his gospel. He goes from laying...

No doubt. Always good to sharpen our swords together.

Thank you, brother! While I produce some "crumbs", huge hunks fall down into my mouth from "your platter"! :D

Perfect lead-in to Good Friday, brother. The foot washing definitely goes beyond the literal, as does most aspects of our faith, and points to a much more significant cleansing where we are washed in the blood of Jesus Christ to spiritually clean our souls, yielding redemption and unity with our...
