ACCURATELY DEPICT THE 2ND COMING OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE
"The federal agency told NewsNation that they do not have any new information about where the drones may be coming from. But on a call with reporters, the FBI said that it largely dismisses many of the reported 5,000 sightings as manned aircraft."
(The guy on the Coast Guard ship said
they see planes stacked for landing at LaGuardia
on a regular basis.
And these?
(What they are seeing now?
These aint those.)
"However, the agency said that there are still more than 100 sightings that still need to be investigated."
"Wherever these technologies come from they are clearly more advanced than any earthly technology known to our intelligence services...We urgently need our best scientific and intelligence collection tools applied to understanding what our pilots are witnessing."
"This could be something that is Extra hyper-dimensional. Extra -dimensional in a quantum physics sense, we know that the universe is full of shortcuts and loopholes."
Luis Elizondo,
Former AATIP Director,

(Advanced Aerospace Threat
and Identification Program)
THAT WAS THREE AND A HALF YEARS AGO.
AND ITS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE.
Like I say, come explain it to me.
I though Brian Cox
or Neil Degasses Tyson
or Brian Greene or some other Brainiac
would have had this all figured out by now.
What's the hold up guys?
They appear out of thin air.
They do the same when they disappear.
They Fly erratically.
The do 90 degree right turns at speeds
where the G forces would kill someone.
"On a local level, law enforcement officials in states like New Jersey also report a decline in sightings. However, the drop in reported sightings does not solve the mystery of who is behind the reported mystery drones. Federal agencies like the FBI and Federal Aviation Administration have said repeatedly that unidentified objects do not pose a threat to national security."
"Yet, that leaves local investigators with few answers on objects that they are seeing first-hand."
“We had one that was basically flying right at us that stopped in mid-air and did a 180,” Sgt. Kevin Fennessy of the Ocean County of the N.J. Sheriff’s Office told NewsNation.
(They are purposely showing you
that they are not bound
to the laws of physics.
Only one conclusion
can be drawn.
See Revelation 9:1-11 above.)
"Most of the reports the department has received have involved sightings of fixed-wing drones."
"Multiple recent incidents involving undersea cables in the Baltic Sea were unlikely to be a coincidence, Annalena Baerbock said. She called for tougher sanctions on Russia's so-called "shadow fleet" of ships."
(When have sanctions ever worked BTW?
Had their intended effect?)
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has issued a warning about the "decrepit Russian shadow fleet" of ships after recent damage to undersea cables in Europe.
"Almost every month, ships are currently damaging important undersea cables in the Baltic Sea," Baerbock told the German Funke group of newspapers on Saturday.
"Ship crews lower anchors into the water, drag them for kilometers across the seabed for no apparent reasonand then lose them when they pull them up."
(Yo Brainiac
It aint for no apparent reason exactly.)
"Baerbock said it was unlikely that multiple incidents occurring in recent months was a coincidence."
(Thanks for the tutorial on probabilities.
Appreciate it.
Thats sarcasm btw.)
"This is an urgent wake-up call for all of us. In a digitalized world, undersea cables are the communication arteries that hold our world together," she said.
(See your own comment above about:
"for no apparent reason")
it was the Russian ex-pats
living in Ukraine
special forces team
that rented a boat in Germany
from a Polish owned company.
That's sarcasm again BTW.
THE WHOLE POINT IN ALL OF THIS
IS WHAT THEY ARE NOT TELLING YOU.
YOU DONT JUST DO THIS STUFF TO BE DOING IT.
THERE IS A REASON BEHIND IT.
THIS IS A PRECURSUR TO WHAT IS COMING.
Zechariah 14:2
2For I will gather all the nations for battle against Jerusalem, and the city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women ravished. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be removed from the city.
Revelation 16:14-16
These are demonic spirits that perform signs and go out to all the kings of the earth, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. / “Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who remains awake and clothed, so that he will not go naked and let his shame be exposed.” / And they assembled the kings in the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
Acts 4:25-26
Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said,
Why did the heathen rage,
and the people imagine vain things?
The kings of the earth stood up,
and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord,
"The Webb Space Telescope has provided evidence that contradicts existing theories by confirming long-lived planet-forming disks in environments with minimal heavy elements, suggesting a need to revise our understanding of early planet formation."
"New data confirms Hubble’s finding and refutes current theories of planet formation in the universe’s early days."
(Try, try again.)
"Back in 2003, the Hubble Space Telescope spotted signs of a massive planet orbiting an ancient star. This discovery didn’t add up — such old stars from the early universe were thought to lack the heavier elements needed to build planets. According to existing models,
(man made guesses,
plugged into a computer.)
the disks around these stars should vanish quickly, leaving no time for planets to grow—or even form. But there it was!)
"Webb confirmed that planet-forming disks in NGC 346 not only exist but are surprisingly long-lived. This groundbreaking discovery supports Hubble’s earlier observations and forces scientists to rethink how — and when — planets form in the universe."
"Stars from that era contain only trace amounts of heavier elements — critical building blocks for planets."
(Opps.
Knowledge paradox on display.
The more you know?
The more you don't know.)
"This unexpected discovery challenges existing theories about how and when planets can form."
“With Webb, we have a really strong confirmation of what we saw with Hubble, and we must rethink how we model planet formation and early evolution in the young universe,” said study leader Guido De Marchi of the European Space Research and Technology Centre in Noordwijk, Netherlands."
and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
"The governor of Damascus — speaking for his direct bossAhmed al-Sharaa, the newly installed leader of Syria — says the government wants to facilitate cordial relations between Israel and Syria."
"...Marwan said this fear was, quote, "natural" and that, as a representative of the capitol Damascus and of the political point of view of President Ahmed al-Sharaa and the foreign ministry, he has a message.
AL-SHALCHI: "We have no fear towards Israel, and our problem is not with Israel," he said.
AL-SHALCHI: "And we don't want to meddle in anything that will threaten Israel's security or any other country's security,"
("he shall confirm the covenant with many"
He is telling you exactly what they are going to do...
EVENTUALLY.)
Marwan added. He made no reference to Palestinians or the war in Gaza.
(They may not have referenced the Palestinians or Gaza
"We must be very strong so that Israel can't do these ridiculous things to Palestine. Just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya, we might do similar to them," "There is no reason why we cannot do this... We must be strong so that we can take these steps,")
"This is a line in keeping with the new Syrian government. Sharaa has previously said that he does not want conflict with Israel.
"Luiz Elizondo, the former head of the Defense Department's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, and other witnesses testified before Congress last month about an alleged government group "hiding the fact that we are not alone in the cosmos."
"I believe that we as Americans can handle the truth. And I also believe the world deserves the truth," Elizondo said, urging Congress to enact legislation protecting whistleblowers too afraid to come forward.
I didn't know what the scripture was gonna be from.
But I knew it would be about the coming of the messiah.
The first time :-).
I didn't know what part.
We get to church and I read the scripture passage ahead of time just to try and get myself prepared,
I do it every Sunday.
What way would I go with this scripture.
What's "talking to me in this passage" etc.
Its an every Sunday thing.
Just something I/we and others
(Buddy in front of me)
try and do.
Just so we have some since
of what the message is gonna be about etc.
This past Sunday?
12/22/24
About blew my mind.
MIC/AH
5:2-5a
2 You, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah,
who are one of the little clans of Judah,
from you shall come forth for me
one who is to rule in Israel,
whose origin is from of old,
from ancient days.
3 Therefore he shall give them up until the time
when she who is in labor has brought forth;
then the rest of his kindred shall return
to the people of Israel.
4 And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they shall live secure,
for now he shall be great
to the ends of the earth;
5 and he shall be the one of peace.
More than a mouthful to say the least.
2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah,
though thou be little
among the thousands of Judah,
yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
(Pretty obvious right?
Christ, from the house of David.
Born in Bethlehem.
God has a way of using things you wouldn't think he would by the way. David wasn't even in the lineup when the new King of Israel was to be chosen, he was in the field tending his flock, (TCB) Bethlehem a small community, Judah is the smallest of the tribes etc.
Okay so so far so good right?
Yeah.
Pretty much.)
3 Therefore
will he give them up,
(He will abandon them.
Now its getting interesting.)
until the time that
she which travaileth
hath brought forth:
THEN
the remnant of his brethren
shall return unto the children of Israel.
(Took my breath away.
Everybody goes with that is Mary giving birth, and it is. But infinite wisdom has a way of killing two birds with one stone so to speak.
The law of double intention is at play.
This whole notion of:
"Well this means this,
and this happened then,
so that's done,
that cant be anything else ever,
let alone
anything to do with us now?
That kind of thinkin?
Is a bunch of hogwash.
THAT IS NOT
HOW INFINITE WISDOM WORKS.
I assure you its not.
"until the time that
she which travaileth
hath brought forth"
IT'S CHRIST TRUE CHURCH
being born as well.
I just shook my head and thought:
"Well of course we get that verse here today
it's about to happen here soon."
AND?
I immediately turned to:
Revelation 12:2
And she being with child cried,
travailing in birth,
and pained to be delivered.
Again, Micha 5:3 is Both:
Mary giving birth to Christ
and
Christ True Church being born.
(His beautiful bride
that will be waiting for him
on his arrival)
starting
to be born.)
Remember Revelation 12:1 now:
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
That Happened.
September 23rd 2017.
First time in 3000 years.
Genesis 1:14
And God said,
“Let there be lights in the vault of the sky
to separate the day from the night,
and let them serve
as signs
to mark
sacred times,
and days and years,
When something happens in the heavens?
For the first time in 3000 years?
YA MIGHT JUST WANNA
PAY ATTENTION.
Maybe.
Just sayin.
4 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
"he denied the new government would be another version of the Taliban."
“The way we govern is different...The Syrian government and the ruling system will be in line with Syria’s history and culture.”
“There will be a Syrian committee of legal experts to write a constitution. They will decide, and any ruler or president will have to follow the law.”
"everyone in Syria would be “represented”.
“The old regime always played on sectarian divisions. But we won’t. We were welcomed in all the big cities by all the sects. I think the revolution can contain everybody.”
“We haven’t committed any crimes that justify calling us a terrorist group. In the last 14 years, we haven’t targeted any civilians or civilian areas or civilian targets,” he said.
“Now, after all that has happened, sanctions must be lifted because they were targeted at the old regime. The victim and the oppressor should not be treated in the same way.”
Compelling arguments
Ill say that much.
Daniel 8:25
"by peace will destroy many"
Anybody?
1 John 2:18
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come,
(That's more for a historical perspective on the issue. How Missler missed the Armenian Genocide and its role in The beast that once REV 17:8-11 was is beyond me.)
My views are pretty well documented on the subject that AI will "coalesce" around a quantum powered synthetic humanoid leader.
(Since writing that? Ahmed al-Sharaahas already had the $10 million bounty on his head taken off by the US government, and they are pressing to have sanctions (against Syria) lifted ASAP.)
"The prophet Daniel describes the Antichrist in these terms: "After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast … And there … were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words. … He shall speak pompous words against the Most High"
Daniel 7:7–8, 25
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold,
in this horn were
eyes like the eyes of man,
(Because he isnt one.)
and a mouth speaking great things.
"As Daniel says, the coming world leader will be renowned for this kind of eloquence, which will capture the attention and administration of the world."
(Know anybody else who got the $10 million bounty on there head taken off?
Yeah me neither.)
"Daniel goes on to tell us that not only will this golden–tongued orator speak in high–blown terms, but he will also speak arrogantly against God. The apostle John describes him similarly in the book of Revelation: "And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies" (Revelation 13:5).
"Daniel continues his description of the Antichrist by telling us he is a man "whose appearance was greater than his fellows" (Daniel 7:20). In terms of his outward appearance, this man will be strikingly attractive. The combination of his magnetic personality, speaking ability, and extreme good looks will make him virtually irresistible to the masses."
UAP starting showing up on the East Coast and other places in numbers never seen before within 24 hours of this guy taking Damascus.
Spirit world is in an uproar.
Those are not unrelated events.
I promise ya that.
AS THE UAP
(Drones? Are you kidding me? In these numbers? No electronic signal?
People? Please get a clue.)
OVER OUR COUNTRY
ARE SHOWING?
WE ARE SO MUCH FARTHER ALONG
INTO THINGS
THAN ANYBODY REALLY WANTS TO ADMIT TO THEMSELVES.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN
TIMES LIKE THESE.
IT IS ABSURD TO PRETEND OTHERWISE.
ITS JUST A FACT.
ANYBODY TRYING TO CONVINCE YOU THERE HAS BEEN TIME LIKE THESE BEFORE?
for those that would doubt the eschatological importance of the text along side its traditional interpretation?
LET ME ASK YOU THIS:
DO YOU REALLY THINK
IT IS AN ACCIDENT
THE LECTIONARY
CUT THAT
PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE OFF
RIGHT AT THAT POINT?
5 And this man shall be the peace,
(The lectionary cuts it off right there
and puts a period instead of a comma.)
when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
(More on this in a minute.)
Cause I sure don't think
its an accident
it got cut off at that point.
In fact
I know its not an accident.
The same exact way
I know everything else
I shouldn't have the means to know.
THINK WATEVER YOU WANT.
Proof is in the pudding
way too many times over.
What are you gonna do?
Rely on your preachers?
That use the lectionary?
To tell you why
that verse was cut off?
HAVE THEY EVER TOLD YOU?
ALL THE YEARS YOU HEARD THAT VERSE?
ANY OF EM EVER TOLD YOU
WHAT I AM TELLING YOU NOW?
WELL WHY NOT?
WOULD BE MY QUESTION.
WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO HIDE?
SERIOUSLY WHAT ARE YOU DOING
IF THATS THE CASE?
Anyway(s) :-).
ITS ALL I CAN DO TO KEEP FROM HYPERVENTILATING SOME DAYS.
LAST SUNDAY WAS ONE OF THEM.
(I DO MY BEST TO HIDE IT BTW.
PARTICULARLY IN AN INSTANCE LIKE THIS
WHEN IVE GOT SOME RESEARCH TO GO DO.)
So, we are going through worship
and when Pastor Bridgett read
Micah 5:3
Therefore will he give them up,
until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth:
I heard:
Revelation 12:2
And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
I live in the spiritual
as much as you do
the physical.
I really do.
WE DO NOT EXERIENCE
THE SAME REALITY.
WE JUST DONT.
I just thought to myself:
"Okay, plenty here to check on,
just hang tight till you get home
and we can double check
some cross references etc."
(My large print NIV I keep in the pew at church didn't have much to go on, even though it does contain cross references between verses.)
So I did:
I go straight to BibleHub.com to check on cross references with Micah 5:3 largely because I have found other verses cross referenced there that aren't cross referenced anywhere else.
Here are the results:
Bible Hub Cross References
Micah 5:3:
Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will be with child and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.
Matthew 1:22-23
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: / “Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
Isaiah 9:6-7
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. / Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from that time and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this.
Matthew 2:6
‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of My people Israel.’”
Isaiah 11:1-2
Then a shoot will spring up from the stump of Jesse, and a Branch from his roots will bear fruit. / The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him—the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and strength, the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the LORD.
Luke 1:31-33
Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus. / He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David, / and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never end!”
Hosea 11:1
When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son.
Matthew 2:13-15
When the Magi had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the Child to kill Him.” / So he got up, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt, / where he stayed until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”
Jeremiah 23:5-6
Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and He will reign wisely as King and will administer justice and righteousness in the land. / In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is His name by which He will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness.
Luke 2:10-11
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: / Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!
Zechariah 9:9
Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King comes to you, righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
John 7:42
Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ will come from the line of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”
Isaiah 53:2
He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no stately form or majesty to attract us, no beauty that we should desire Him.
Romans 15:12
And once more, Isaiah says: “The Root of Jesse will appear, One who will arise to rule over the Gentiles; in Him the Gentiles will put their hope.”
Genesis 49:10
The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes and the allegiance of the nations is his.
("r" denoting another verse being referenced and "t" denoting the translation of a word.)
Micah 5:3
Therefore will he give them up,
until the time that (r) she which travaileth (t) hath brought forth:
then the (r) remnant of his brethern shall return unto the children of Israel.
I can hear them already:
"Oh Drew, why are you trying to make everything about the second coming?
Don't you ever give up?"
Well lets follow along and see what is cross referenced in those verses and the translation
THEN
make an informed decision
about whether this passage can
be tied to the second coming of Christ
AS WELL AS THE FIRST.
Law of Double Intention and all.
Alright,
Lets disscet our verse.
Micah 5:3
"until the time that (r) she"
First of all I am not sure why "that" is put in italics, I've looked through and tried to find where it explains exactly what that means (In the Mendenhall Reference Bible) but haven't been able to find any information on it.
References:
Micah 4:10
Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
The nations have not yet so submitted to the Prince of Peace, as to beat their swords into ploughshares, nor has war ceased.
But very precious promises these are,
relating to the gospel church,
which will be more and more fulfilled,
for He is faithful that has promised.
There shall be a glorious church for God
set up in the world,
in the last days,
in the days of the Messiah.
(Think Satan dont know that?
Why were the verses in the lectionary cut out again?)
Christ himself will build it upon a rock. The Gentiles worshipped their idol gods; but in the period spoken of, the people will cleave to the Lord with full purpose of heart, and delight in doing his will. The word halteth, describes those who walk not according to the Divine word. The collecting the captives from Babylon was an earnest of healing, purifying, and prospering the church; and the reign of Christ shall continue till succeeded by the everlasting kingdom of heaven. Let us stir up each other to attend the ordinances of God, that we may learn his holy ways, and walk in them, receiving the law from his hands, which, being written in our hearts by his Spirit, may show our interest in the Redeemer's righteousness.
"when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men."
Peter addressed the people, “You Israelites, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we had made him walk? The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our ancestors has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and rejected in the presence of Pilate, though he had decided to release him. But you rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked to have a murderer given to you, and you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses. And by faith in his name, his name itself has made this man strong, whom you see and know; and the faith that is through Jesus has given him this perfect health in the presence of all of you.
“And now, friends, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. In this way God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, that his Messiah would suffer.Repent therefore, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out.”
It literally inserts a period
and cuts off
the rest of verse 19
which says:
Acts 3:19
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come
from the presence of the Lord.
Meaning?
He is back!
Look it up if you don't believe me.
FIND ME ONE VERSION
OF THE BIBLE
WERE ACTS 3:19
DOESNT SAY:
"when the times of refreshing shall come
from the presence of the Lord."
Good luck.
SO WHY ARE WE USING A TOOL
(Lectionary)
THAT CUTS THAT VERSE SHORT?
THE TOOL USED IS MORE IMPORTANT
THAT THE WORD OF GOD?
IT GETS TO DETERMINE
WHAT GETS PREACHED ON SUNDAY?
NOT IN MY WORLD IT DONT.
(Their defense is they want you to hear from different voices blah blah blah, another objection I have with it is that is it doesn't get you the consistency of the message on certain topics over time from various authors
WHICH PROVES TO YOU
WHO IS THE INTELLECT
BEHIND IT.)
Think that verse
being cut short
was an accident too?
Once again,
I know better.
I know what time it is.
And I know why
things like this
are being allowed to happen.
DO YOU?
YOU OUGHTA.
Can you even acknowledge to yourself
Wats really up these days?
SO WHY IS THE LECTIONARY
CUTTING OUT
THE MOST IMPORTNAT PARTS
OF SCRIPTURE PASSAGES?
I'd have a ceremony some Sunday after church and burn the thing in a trash barrel and say we aint having that kind of nonsense around here no more, we know better, were moving on.
Then John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Was the verse that was chosen.
Mathew 3:7
But when John saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his place of baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers,who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
That verse is a more complete portrayal.
Talks about wrath too.
Anyway(s)
that all got sanitized
one Sunday not that long ago as well.
To think,
I didn't know why
one passage of scripture
was chosen
over the other one that day?
IS TO ADMIT TO YOURSELF
That you got a lot bigger problems
to recon with,
that just not understanding
that I knew why one of those verses
was chosen over the other that day.
YES YOU DO.
TO
WHOEVER THINKS
THEY CAN
OR WILL
"CONTAIN"
THIS?
GET A CLUE.
THEY DIDNT CONTAIN
JOHN THE BAPTIST
AND THEY WONT CONTAIN
THIS EITHER.
YOU ARE MAKING YOURSELVES
LOOK MORE AND MORE FOOLISH THE
FARTHER WE GO ALONG.
AND PEOPLE KNOW IT.
THE ECCLEASTICS
CALLING THE SHOTS IN THE UMC
ARE EVERY BIT AS MUCH
"A DEN OF VIPERS"
AS THE PHARASEES/SADDUCEES
WERE BACK IN JOHNS DAY.
AND APPARENTLY?
THEY KNOW SO,
OR THEY WOULDNT
MIND IT SO MUCH
YOU HEARING ABOUT
THE RELIGIOUS ESTABLISHMENT
OF THE DAY
BEING CALLED OUT
FOR BEING A BUNCH OF SNAKES
AND THAT WRATH
WAS ON ITS WAY.
Trust me they know what it means for them that's why they don't want you to hear about it.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.
(Interesting,
references
Mount Zion
and the Remnant
just like
Micah 4:7
and the Lord shall reign over them
in mount Zion from henceforth,
even for ever.
references
Micah 5:3
then the remnant of his brethern
shall return unto the children of Israel.
Anyway
back to
Matthew Henrys Commentary
on Joel 2 28-32.
"The effect of this blessing:
They shall prophesy;
they shall receive new discoveries
of divine things,
(UAP for one example)
and that
not for their own use only,
but for the benefit of the church.
They shall interpret scripture,
and speak of things
secret, distant, and future,
which by the utmost sagacities of reason,
and their natural powers,
they could not have
any insight into nor foresight of."
THAT BLESSING HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN
POURED OUT ON SOMEONE.
YOUVE BEEN A WITNESS TO IT.
When does that blessing get poured out again?
"before the great and terrible day of the Lord come."
I told somebody the other day if this doesn't work, if I gotta go live under a bridge, sleep in the truck in the library parking lot, eat garbage, whatever I gotta do, this task gets done.
Cause you just don't sign up for something with the lord God Almighty then shrink form it, cause the consequences are far worse than just staying the course come hell or high water.
Seeing your recompense has a way of firing you up as well lol. As does knowing your clicking on all cylinders with someone that there is no other explanation for other than the power of the love of God.
He asked me if this is what I wanted.
I said sure.
Ezekiel 3:16-21
At the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. When I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. But if you do warn the wicked person and they do not turn from their wickedness or from their evil ways, they will die for their sin; but you will have saved yourself.
“Again, when a righteous person turns from their righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before them, they will die. Since you did not warn them, they will die for their sin. The righteous things that person did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. But if you do warn the righteous person not to sin and they do not sin, they will surely live because they took warning, and you will have saved yourself.”
