I guess you are right. We failed to achieve what we could have become. Now this world will be punished for it.
I will pray that God grants some mercy for us!

So your solution is to take a defeatist attitude?

What can you do? The only way to make our situation better is to have all Congress members clear out and make stipulations on the amount that they can earn say 200k per year. also they cant take any donations from the lobbyists. How can they look at the need for regular people when all they do is look at the need of the rich, wealthy and corporations?

That would take a revolution as it is to get that change across. Now we can only wait til judgement. Cause just like the old cliche, those who are in power seek more power. We are nothing but cattle to them.

Hello All
I was amazed the other day when I saw a verdict of a child molester getting 560 years. See all the laws in all the states are so different that someone must pursue all counts to keep someone in prison. With this country having 560 years against you may not guarantee him from getting out and doing it again. That is one small example how this country is screwed.

In some ways you can get more jail time for killing a dog than a person. Mothers, fathers, priests, clergy, all are committing ghastly crimes against the children. I can almost envision a day when parents would eat their own because they are hungry.

This world truly saddens me. There was a young father who gave a major football scholarship at one school to be nearer his child at another. There wasn't much press about that. But you will get a lot of press on what Kim Kardashian is wearing.

Maybe there would not be so much suffering in the world if people had not been sitting around waiting for the rapture the last thirty years. God gives you no credit for hoping to be relieved of your responsibility to lessen the suffering in the world.

You don't even know the torment i've been through bro. My entire life has been plauged my indecision and great empathy, I have always been that person who cared too much. I'd give anybody the coat off my back and I have before. I've known the end was coming for a while now. And for a while I refused to talk about it with anyone of my peers. Only recently have I tried to iterate to anybody willing to listen that Jesus was the only way to salvation and that we are down at the end of days. NOBODY EVER listened to me but still i'd continue to try with different people but my efforts were otiose. I am done now, let the fools be fools. THey will be witness to the prophecy and power of Yahweh. I've committed myself to salvation. How can I be faulted.? Satan has deceived the entire world. Maybe there would not be so much suffering in the world if people were not so stubborn.

Everything is in divine order my friend.

Everything is fixed.

If you are lamenting the end, it is because you do not have faith in the promised new beginning.

Let the end come my friend. A new world awaits.

With Love,

Your Brother

It is not my place to judge. I cannot see your heart, only God can which is why only He can judge you. Think about what I said and ponder on it as I will do for what you have said. God is love and God is Truth.

God is everything.

That IS truth and proof of his love.

That which we would Judge evil, God created, and there is reason.

In every calamity is a lesson. In every lesson is love.

If you are with Love, then you are with me.

With Love,

Your Brother

I know what you are saying but be careful when you say the number of people who go to heaven. The bible says that some will be taken prior to the tribulation. It says those that are left will go through many horrible plagues, but it does not say they will not go to heaven. We can’t know who will come out of the tribulation cleansed by the blood of the lamb and who will be cast into the lake of the fire.

Mathew 7:13 Enter in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be who go in there:

Matthew 7:14 Because narrow is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it

Seems to me like Matthew is saying there will not be many that find it...hm....guess that blows your universalist doctrine that all roads lead to heaven out of the water. In fact, Matthew is saying there's going to be an overabundance of people in hell.

Ach! Wow! Guess that also means God isn't as "all loving" of a greek pagan god of love Eros as you think he is. All loving gods tolerate wickedness, he does not and because Jesus the Christ is God, neither does he tolerate wickedness. I believe in which case Jesus would say "go and sin no more" and not "go and sin as much as you want".

. . . I am done now . . .

I was brought up from birth being told Jesus was showing up to judge the world at any minute and now I am approaching 60 and it took me this long to realize that some people were reading things into the Bible that were just not there. So, I just spent fifty plus years ending up with nothing to show for my life as far as any substantial accomplishments or legacy or even kids seeing how it would have been just unnecessary torture for children who were going to have their life cut short as the world goes up in flames. So, what was that torment, again?
It may be too painful for you to contemplate that you are not getting points from God for telling people the world is going to end.
People just have ridiculously short lives as it is and no one needs a suddenly ending world to realize they need to start doing what is right, now, and anyone who acts under thread of punishment are not really repentant anyway, so the info is useless.

What can you do?

Follow Jesus.
Jesus was not waiting around for the world to end and he knew the world as they knew it in Judea was going to come to an end soon enough, so he told his disciples that they would not run out of towns in their country to go to before the time came when they would not be able to any more.
The example is to do what you need to do regardless if in the midst of your activity you suddenly find yourself on a cross. If everyone was that fearless the world would change for the better very quickly and evil people know that and is why they promote scary stories of the end of the world, where people stop caring about the world, the same world God gave His only begotten son to save.

Mark 13: 32&33

32But of that day or that hour not a [single] person knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
33Be on your guard [constantly alert], and watch and pray; for you do not know when the time will come.

We would be able to figure out when the last days were according to Matthew chapter 24.
But when exactly they ended was never known, and if the angels and Jesus couldn't figure it out, yet some humans think they have? Yeah sure.

Hello Brother

I feel you! I have the same personality type. I wish to help and aid people to understand the gravity of the situation. As it says in the Bible, God will pour out His spirit and people will prophesy.

I am still not giving up entirely. That's why I still come here and post because if I just reach one soul then I did my job. I figure I told my family and some friends and they laugh and make fun of me every now and then. But, it is not a loss since it is on their mind.

So far the visions I get are general with no specific time fram in mind but I sense an urgency. My faith started in September of last year and since I have been getting more visions. Things has to happen soon or God could have started a longer time ago with me.

Without the visions, I see all the pieces and laws falling into place that is needed to compromise us. Then there are the diseases. Look what was posted today on USAToday:
Has bird flu biology opened bioterror box?
Researchers in the Netherlands and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who were trying to determine what genes might mutate and make bird flu attack humans, created a strain that can pass easily among ferrets.

Why should we care that ferrets get the bird flu?

Ferrets are the closest lab animal models to humans for flu vaccine studies. Until now, cases of bird flu passing from infected birds to humans were limited to people — farmworkers usually — who worked closely with the birds. And bird flu almost never passes from person to person.

The lethality when a person gets the regular H5N1 is around 60%

Well, back to ur discussion. keep the faith. You never know who will be listening to a discussion you may have. I was on the phone with a family memeber when someone near me at a bar inquired what I was talking about. The couple had nearly the same idea that something is coming and I explained to them what I saw coming. To this day I keep tabs with them to let them know the latest. So it isn't all in vain.

God Bless

Hello

Sometimes I know how you feel. But I think of all the suffering that will happen with demons, calamities and such that we have to perservere through. It can be mind shattering. There will be a time that I have to take a life to protect my family and I know that will be tough. The military prepares you so much to do that by going over and over again with training. But still noow I know each life is precious.

War is not pretty. neither will this one be. God Vs satan! Oh boy! If God wants to delay as long as possible, it will be ok with me because when it kicks off we will eventually have to go underground into the wildrness just as Moses did.

God Bless

Star, your post reminded me of this:


"Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."

Revelation 12:12

The one thing that separtes man from other animals is that we can hope. There are many defeatist attitudes that I found. My best friend is like well I just want to die because I don't want to be in all that chaos. Well I want to like and I will fight for that both mind, body and soul!

Just because you didn't get satisfactuion in life doesn't mean others can't. It only take one to see all these posts and change themselves for the better and I will be satisfied that I did a jiob well done.

God Bless

I do not like the word, or the Christian concept of the word either. The vision of a lightly tanned, brown haired Christ sitting on a silver cloud is nothing more that a concept, and a very large leap of faith. Read the book, Christ never said he was coming back like that.
We are well versed on Blue Beam, so I don't have to mention that, right?

Being "caught up" could have multiple meanings.

catch·ing, noun, adjective verb (used with object)
1. to seize or capture, especially after pursuit: to catch a criminal; to catch a runaway horse.
2. to trap or ensnare: to catch a fish.
3. to intercept and seize; take and hold (something thrown, falling, etc.): to catch a ball; a barrel to catch rain.
4. to come upon suddenly; surprise or detect, as in some action: I caught him stealing the pumpkin.

Source
I don't know about the rest of you, but I have no desire to be captured by anyone, even Christ. How would I, or any really know it was in fact the Christ? Did he not warn of things like this?
"And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not."
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
“Then, if a man shall say to you, 'Look, here is The Messiah, and 'Look, he is going there', you should not believe him.”

So, in essence, anything that even sounds, or looks like the popular Christian description of a nice easy ride up to Heaven on a silver cloud with your Godman is out of the question, even if it happens like that, simply because of the warning, and Inner Knowledge.

Trust in this. Humanity will never, ever be destroyed. Humanity will always exist. Humanity goes a whole lot farther than people think.
Anyone who thinks Humanity stops here on Earth is only fooling themselves. Humanity, in it's various forms, exists all over the known Universe, and beyond.

Earth has a life cycle, like everything on Earth has a life cycle. Every so often, I think every 26,000 to 38,0000 years, the poles shift, and the world turns over, spilling the seas out of their beds, sinking mountains way below water level, and rising what was beneath the sea to above, destroying, and burying everything that Humanity has built during this cycle.

It will take Planet Earth near 1000 Earth years to regain the ability to sustain complex life, and after that, humans will begin to incarnate upon Earth again, for the Fifth Time, according to some.

For most of Earth 3D Humanity, the transition itself will be fairy easy, (as easy as dropping dead) and the Afterlife will easily be adhered to for most. It is a Nexus of Energy, and it feeds off your human desires, and provides what you want to see, hear, and touch.
I think it will be a lot like what Picard experienced in this film short from "Generations."

Watch the whole short for an idea of what I am attempting to get across here. You can stay as long as you like, and leave anytime, as long as you have a destination in mind. Time is not a constant, and Space is a Fabric. The Carbon Based Human Body is a bio-mechanical machine, the true Spirit is a ball of energy that sits on a pedestal within the brain, and automatically controls over many, many sequences and nerve impulses.

Your body is pretty amazing. At any given point you have many biological processes going on -- circulatory, digestive, brain & central nervous systems and more. Learn about these body systems as well as the eye, ears, nose and throat.

Source

At night, when your body is sleeping, this energy ball exits the body and travels all over the Universe. Once one become fully aware of this, and can travel in a concious manner, it all becomes clear.

Again, God gave us free will to do with it as we may. We ruined it ourselves! There are more satanists than there are Christians probably because it is hard to walk this side. There are even satanists that are reforming and seeking God and telling all that wants to hear what there agenda was. Infiltration of all Churches and cause chaos in them.

It is so easy to look at porn, sleep with your neighbor's wife, steal items etc if you have no conscious. I never looked back much at all the woman I defiled because we were both having a good time. I just wish I knew more of this in my early 20s and I may have been the voice of reason in that age instead of sex, drugs, rock and roll. but it is what it is. I don't fear the first death, I would fear the second.

remember the path to hell is wide and the path to salvation is narrow. I would rather be hated by the world for what I believe in than be a sinner and be loved by them.

God Bless!

True, that's why you should look at what the Greek word "harpazo" means.

Hello
People must find there own way to salvation and not trust others to do it. that is why it took my 46 years. I don't look for points from God because He know my nature. He would not show me things and expect to keep it secret. the first rule with getting to know thyself for me is to do the right thing and noot look for any type of reward. That is why my life has been pretty good because I try to do what is right. I pass on blessing that happen to me, I help feed friends, I help take care of friends who were in accidents, etc. I am the person who will pull over and help out those in a major accident when all others were intent on getting to work.

yes, I have akid and it pains me in a way that he won't have a type of life that I had. But in a way, he may see the glory to come and be part of that. God works in mysterious ways. I put off a kid for the same reasons you did. Then I told the wife since she was nagging me that ok we will try. So far it has been extremely worthwhile. My son has taught me things that still surprises me to this day.

One time whenhe just turned 10 months, he looked at the light (a ceiling fan light) in his play room and started babbling haleluyah in his way. I strated crying because he was sent to me from God and he still had his connection to Him. I can't wait until he starts talking. He also wants to kiss everyones feet. It is so humbling. I took a photo which I think I lost when I changed phones and it it was the face of an angelic woman looking down at him.

So spiritual wise I have my proof that there is a God and a devil many times over. Yeah, you may say that this is the ramblings of some whacked out psycho but it is the truth. I even was surprised that my mom who loves the Lord never heard Him speak to her or feel His Divine presense. I felt funny describing it to her.

Just don't give up!

God Bless

Hello All
This was my vision of the ufos:

I had an intereting dream/vision this am. My son had a nightmare around 2am this morning and didn't get to sleep to around 3. After that I had my dream.

It was sunny out and I was away from my home. For some reason I didn't have my car with me. I met up with a friend who I haven't seen for a while. he wanted to get his oil changed in his car so we went to a gas station.

In the station waiting area I met another friend whom I haven't seen since my military days. I went over all the stops that I made in life and such.

People started looking up at the sky so I went outside and looked also. In the sky spaceships started appearing.There was over a dozen of them in different sizes and shapes. They just hovered in the sky.

Well everyone I saw was cool about it and for some reason I knew that the President didn't raise the Def Con level at all. It was still at Def Con 1. That was strange to me because we didn't know the craft's agenda and I thought that it should have been raised to 2 or 3.

After seeing these craft, I decided that I needed to get home ASAP so that I can get close to my weapons. The guy that I drove in with took his car somewhere for a test drive and I didn't wait for him. I was going to walk home which I knew was over 10 miles away. Then I met an uncle of mine and he picked me up on the way. The car was being driven by a kid that didn't even seem to be 16. The dream ends there.

The thing that lingered with me was that the Def Con level was only one. Mind you the civilians wouldn't know the Def Con level was raised until time passes and such.

So the only reason that the Def Con level wasn't raised is that the government knew what was going on. So if we have this event in the future do not believe the government. They have knowledge of what the intentions truly are.

The other weird thing is that I had a heart to heart talk with Him the night before. I asked that if others are experiencing event dreams why haven't I gotten more info on what will transpire so that I an be more aware? This was His response.

God Bless

I don't know who you are or where you live or how old you are, I'm just saying I got this end-of-the-world-right-now theory rammed down my throat from the beginning and being someone who wants to love God, thought I should believe all that since it was an integral part of my religion. It caused a lot of problems in my life that I would have been better off without. I see no good whatsoever in preaching apocalypse and we have enough real life disasters and wars to realize we are not going to live forever and we should seek God in the hope of a future resurrection and to live good lives so we are not resurrected to shame but to glory. Going around preaching this additional doom and gloom type stuff as a substitute to actual good works is a nice ticket to hell in my opinion.

This sounds like paranoid delusional sort of talk and I think you are probably trying to make up for a sinful past by inventing a martyr's path to walk as a way of penance but it is not real, there is no command by Jesus to go out into the world and proclaim it is coming to an end.
What came to an end was the dominion of Satan and we are to proclaim the freedom from sin and death through what Jesus has done to save the world.
