It is God’s people. “Comfort ye My people.” God’s people today who understand the truth of God’s Word are the chosen generation described in 1 Peter 2:9-10. We are the generation who are living in the time of the parable of the fig tree, the final generation.

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Isaiah 40:1-3

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light… 1 Peter 2:9
yeah how long is that time of the fig tree 😊

I saw a reading from a messianic Jew he said the Jewish bible
speaks of Messiah coming that is of the peaceful type and also the type of ruling with Justice type to.

Have the Jews failed to spot that,

As far as I know they only see the coming as ruling with Justice as being valid or that all prophecies must be completed for the Messiah to be seen as the Messiah

It makes no sense to believe he could only come once.

With God all things are possible,

I try to put myself in the head of Jew but I just fail to see why they cant see the Messiah in spirit speaking through there prophets.

The thing I don't believe in personaly is a rapture.

Simply put the lord speaks to all differently.

Same as the 7 thunders John heard but was told not to write them down.

I believe John was told not to write them down, but may well have been told to prophesize against them, I wonder just that.

Did John prophesize the seven thunders.

Or is it simply each person God speaks to differently and what message they get given is a personal message

Understand, from the Book of Revelation, that we are to beware of those who say they are Jews but are not, rather they are a synagogue of Satan.

Only those who praise God in spirit and in truth may be called a true Jew for Jew, from Yahuddah, means literally Praiseing God. See the story of Leah when she named her male child Judah.

I know the story, after she gave birth to Judah and named him, she then said she would praise the lord.

So does Judah actually mean praise the lord.

You may say that with certainty..
I take it you where born in Isreal 😊

It's nice to meet you, why was Abram called a Hebrew and shouldn't the the line of Judah be called hebrews not Jews
.
Should the Jews not be seen as separate to the hebrews, but hey many times in scripture we see Hebrews being seen as Jews

Isaiah 40


9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

The good news is synonymous with the gospel. Is there any other gospel for us besides the fact that Jesus died on the cross and resurrected?
Why does Isaiah 40:9 command to proclaim the good news to Zion and Jerusalem, and then say, 'Behold your God'? and What cities do the cities of Judah refer to?
Why are they instructed to proclaim the good news, the gospel, to the cities of Judah?


God reveals Himself in a chosen generation.

The Most High is with us in THIS Generation to testify His Son and to demonstrate His righteousness.

1Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;


I believe that the contents of the Old Testament prophecies are fulfilled in this generation, the one Jesus referred to, in which we currently live. I also believe that God teaches us the truth directly in this generation. It might seem like a kind of time reversal, but it is a fact.

Look at the Almighty! It's His concept of time, where anything is possible. Then, what is the evidence that our generation is the chosen one? The Bible mentions generations very frequently. From all the prophecies of the Old Testament to the words of Jesus in the New Testament, they all point to One chosen generation in which everything will be fulfilled.


Comments are very welcome.
“The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: and the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:3-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

that’s a prophecy written about 700 bc

“For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:13‬ ‭

“He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This is when it’s beginning to be fulfilled

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.

John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.( the voice of one crying in tbe wilderness )

And it came to pass in those days, that ( and the glory of the lord shall be revealed ) Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: and there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭1:1, 3-4, 9-11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

then Jesus preached the gospel the word of God that stands forever

“The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: the grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:6-8‬ ‭KJV‬‬


being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

For All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:23-25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

that eternal word it’s referencing is Jesus preaching the gospel

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:35‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The prophets were foretelling the time of Jesus generation

“and he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. ….Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭3:20-21, 24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The prophets of the ot were foretelling Jesus coming to earth our God manifest in the flesh

The nt prophecies are what we’re looking for the return the second time of Christ to earth there are two testaments each deals with that time period

isaiah 40 is about John and Jesus arriving and Jesus preaching the one and only gospel and fulfilling the good shepherd part of the prophecy ……the things foretold in the New Testament are what we should look to those ot prophecies tech us about Christ and the gospel

I believe Isaiah 40 is separated into two comings of the lord.

One that comes to bring a sword. The time we are in now. And one that brings peace and judgment. The day of the lord.

So it's all back to front 😂

Yes the Jewish religion is desolate they have not sanctuary they rejected Jesus who is the sanctuary

“And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭8:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
‭‭John‬ ‭1:10-11

He kept warning them

“I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

abut they were blinded by thier rebellion which brought the law of Moses which is the entire basis for Judaism

“Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: and not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: but their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:12-15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

if i believe God said this

“And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭19:21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It’s going to blind me to what he actually said when he came

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, ( in the law )An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:


but I ( the lord ) say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:38-39‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Jews trust in the letter of Moses law not understanding this part

“knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to our trust.”
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1:9-11‬ ‭

When Jesus is quoting from Moses law and then he says the opposite thing israel couldn’t hear it because they were trusting in Moses law and were blinded to Christ and the word of God they had no room for Jesus words

“Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5:45‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“I know that ye are Abram’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:37‬ ‭

ever notice how the keepers ofnthe law were always trying to trap Jesus on his words and always plotting to kill him ? It’s because he was instructing the opposite of the law

judaism of anyone clings to it is not Gods path to salvation the gospel is the path for all people former Jew or gentile

“Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:19-20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Israel never understood the purpose of the law some still try to follow the Old Testament which is what creates a Jew circumcision according to the law

“For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:3‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.”
‭‭James‬ ‭2:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

unless we are perfect Judaism can’t save anyone

and couldn’t recognize God







if they repent and convert to Christ they’ll be saved like everyone it’s thier testament that makes them “ Jews “ Judaism is not Gods way , Christianity is

judaism is based on the law of Moses given to the children of Israel . Israel’s issue is that they were blinded by the law and couldn’t recognize God when he came




Christianity is based upon the gospel given to all creation.
Christianity has still not fulfilled its covenant and have not baptised the Jew or the gentile 😀

Hi there, Thunder. . . Yeah, we all have so many questions, but one fine day, all our questions will be answered by our Friend in heaven. The thought of it makes me smile real big. IMG_9375.jpg

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. IMG_6012.gif

In the Bible, the sword of the Spirit represents God’s word.

I believe this one needs investigating,

Jesus said do not think I have come to bring peace,..he said I have come to bring a sword 😊

Now you should be glad he came to bring a sword, .because that means we have a chance to be saved.

The cross is the sword and the word is the the sword that Pearce's all souls,.be it Jew gentile be it who ever.

His sword is in the new testament the old testament and even the quran.

This means the sword is the new covenant for all.

It also means everyone will be pierced by his sword.

The word that penetrates the soul.

There for we are in great tribulation and under the covenant of the sword

I believe this is one of the seven thunders 😊

I’ve done some investigating. ;) Here are my deductions and ponderings (selah says)

I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices. Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them." The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

- Revelation 10:1-7

There is no record of what those seven thunders spoke, so we cannot know. The entire cycle of all the end-time events will be covered by the seven thunders. In other words, the angel is proclaiming the end of this age of earth: It is finished and over! IMG_6012.gif

The lightning (Satan at the 6th trump) will come before the thunder (Jesus at the 7th trump). The thunders are sealed for this reason. You will have already experienced the lightening—it will be history by the time the thunder sounds. So we must not be deceived! There won’t be any pretrib rapture. Jesus tells us:

And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. -Luke 10:18

I’ve done some investigating. ;) Here are my deductions and ponderings (selah says)

I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices. Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them." The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

- Revelation 10:1-7

There is no record of what those seven thunders spoke, so we cannot know. The entire cycle of all the end-time events will be covered by the seven thunders. In other words, the angel is proclaiming the end of this age of earth: It is finished and over! View attachment 260311

The lightning (Satan at the 6th trump) will come before the thunder (Jesus at the 7th trump). The thunders are sealed for this reason. You will have already experienced the lightening—it will be history by the time the thunder sounds. So we must not be deceived! There won’t be any pretrib rapture. Jesus tells us:

And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. -Luke 10:18
just because John was told not to write the seven thunders down may also mean he prophesized against and with them.

So the quest would be to see where he may have spoke some silent thunders 😊

With this I would say bring the thunder 😋

Listen to what one thunder says

When the day of the lord comes he will settle disputes between all nations 10415830-8fd9-4bce-83c6-d91461ced863.gif

Wow! This group sounds scary and unGodly. View attachment 260298

In the Bible, the sword of the Spirit represents God’s word.

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

- Ephesians 6:17 (KJV)
Amen a double edged sword this statement

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭

And this statement

He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
‭‭John‬ ‭12:48-50‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;

but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭16:15-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It’s sharp and sure and came out of the mouth of the lord

“And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 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.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭19:13, 15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

His name is called the word of God

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:1, 14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

And a sharp sword came out of his mouth

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6-7, 9-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

aand he shall rule all nations by it

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:18-20‬ ‭KJV‬‬




The word divides believers from un believers and leaves no loop holes
