Dimensional chronological end times timelines :-).
Yeah...Okay, sure...:-).
Not.
Think more like being in that sphere (The sphere is the timeline) and the lines going up and down and around are the strands of DNA being connected. It all going on, all around us, at all times and were in the middle of it, all at the same time.
And just like Brother Joe said in all his Revelation Bible Study sessions.
Whats the most important thing here?
We don't have to understand it all, we just to be ready. It's all we can do.
Journey to the Acts series #79, Hearing Gods Voice pt2.
Acts 16:6-10
Paul’s Vision of the Man of Macedonia
Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia.When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to.So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
We = Paul and Luke :-).
Ezekiel 36:27
And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
John 14:26
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
Could probably ramble on for 20 minutes about the choice of the word "Advocate", Advocates fight for you BTW.
John 13:2
The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.
Beware, we need to be discerning, the voice you hear may be a deception.
Exodus 14:14
The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.
Try that in today's world, good luck.
Wanna train yourself to hear God's voice?
1) Spend time with God.
2) Have a clean and pure heart.
Matthew 5:8
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
The guilt trip somebody is trying to lay down ain't gonna work. It never did work, it's not working, and it never will work.
Quit putting on a show for no good reason. There was a time when I actually thought they were better than this. Not anymore.
We are done with your pointless drama, backstabbing schemes, toxicity etc. Its not going to be a part of our lives. Ever. From anyone, not just you. No sympathy, no pity, none, ever. No remorse? No reconciliation. No problem.
Matthew 13:42
And they will throw them in the furry furnace where there will be weeping and gnashing in of teeth.
Just not exactly the way they think. Had a few visions :-). Got a few different ideas, in regard to eschatology :-). But we will see it in our lifetimes.
"In particular, the Bible expert has highlighted a prophecy from the Book of Revelation, which predicts the arrival of two prophets in the End Times."
"According to the Bible, two prophets could appear in Jerusalem during your lifetime whose powers would be incomparable to anything the world has witnessed in thousands of years.
(Told you yesterday, you have no idea what I pray for. None.)
"Revelation 11:3-14 details the coming ministry of the two witnesses, the prophets who will come in the style of Moses and Elijah.
"According to Bible prophecy, God will grant the two prophets Jerusalem's rebuilt Third Temple.
The Temple does not yet exist as it has not been rebuilt since it was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD and many of the Bible's prophesied events hinge on its existence."
(It was a Roman Legion from Antioch (of all places) but it was comprised of draftees from that area. It was the fore runners to the modern day Turks that destroyed the Temple. Not the Romans themselves.)
"Professor Meyer said: "The prophetic condemnations of these two witnesses devour their enemies.
(Happening right at this moment.)
"Revelation compares the power of their divine commission and words of these two to the Old Testament prophets of old."
"Nobody lives like an old time prophet anymore" somebody once told me.
The prophets are not named in the Bible, but Professor Mayer claims their powers are compared to those of Elijah and Moses.
God famously performed miracles through Elijah, such as resurrection and bringing about drought, according to 1 Kings 17.
Moses meanwhile led the Jewish people out of Egypt after being a conduit for the 10 Plagues of Egypt."
"Professor Meyer said: "As with Jesus Christ himself, these two cannot be killed by the forces of evil until their ministry was fulfilled.
""But eventually at some point towards the end of the Great Tribulation, the witnesses will be murdered in Jerusalem, whose inhabitants will encourage and permit their deaths as they did the death of Christ.
"The world will celebrate their demise and deprive them of a proper burial, an act that is considered one of the greatest dishonours that could be inflicted upon a person.
"But according to Bible prophecy, the world’s laughter will be quickly turned to mourning as the witnesses will be raised to life in Jerusalem, as was Christ.
"As fear came upon those who witnessed the risen Christ (Matthew 28:4), so in like manner fear will come to those who see the resurrected witnesses.
"As Christ was killed, resurrected and ascended into heaven from Jerusalem in a cloud (Acts 1:9) and seen by many so in like manner will God’s two witnesses."
Happening. Get ready. Zion train is coming our way.
Would you even bother going through the motions of pretending to believe if you:
Say publicly, "There's got to be another way to get to heaven."
John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
I mean seriously if thats honestly how you feel? And something like 70% I think according to one survey said, 70% of Christians feel this way. My question is, why aren't you worshiping at those "other ways" to get to heaven places?
Laugh and mock God publicly and on a continual basis.
And flat out deny other parts of scripture?
Matthew 24:22
“If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened."
A spade is a spade is what I was always told. Along with beggars can't be choosers and Grin and bear it which just happens to be my most favorite one of them all.
And no, I absolutely will not let up.
It's like my buddy says:
"If you didn't do anything wrong? Then why are you acting so guilty?"
How "targeted" would that pentagon funding have been if al qaeda killed 90,000 people last month instead of Covid?
And people still can't wrap their heads around why this country is being punished so? I mean that's a thing and there are a whole lot of other reasons as well...
can you go to church, 40, 50, 60, 70 years and not understand scripture? Or read the bible and not understand it? Or always skipped Revelation? There is not but one reason. Proof is in the pudding I always been told.
John 8:47
Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
Or how can you go to church decades on end and not understand the fundamental building block that is, God doesn't play favorites?
In fact I gotta truckload of verses says just that and two biblical stories nobody hardly ever reads and about 5-10 hours just on that one alone.
Hebrews 5:12
In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
It is not the time for fluff. It's just not. I like what the book The New Mystics says:
"It's time to eat meat and spit fire."
Ouch.
Landed a right that time.
It's not that Satan is afraid of me, it's that he's afraid of the power that's in me.
Romans 8:11
The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you.
You have no idea the things I pray for. None.
Lunch, anytime, anybody, whatever subjects you wanna talk about.
"I like this kinda party baby. Here all day."
I said there was a course correction coming in the Church a few years back. Look what it's a perfect time for right now? :-).
most insulting thing to me of this whole saga was the fact that people didn't think I was smart enough to know what they were doing behind my back for years. Like all that wisdom, knowledge and understanding just cant apply to them and their intentions. Opps.
I don't need anybody's apology, you're all already forgiven.
But it was an insult, not just to me but the almighty as well.
