Signs Of Much Greater Importance

[goodlife]

When Jesus Christ was on earth, he gave his listeners a lesson in observing signs and acting accordingly. He was talking about something of far-reaching importance. The Bible reports: “The Pharisees and Sadducees approached him and, to tempt him, they asked him to display to them a sign from heaven. In reply he said to them: ‘When evening falls you are accustomed to say, “It will be fair weather, for the sky is fire-red”; and at morning, “It will be wintry, rainy weather today, for the sky is fire-red, but gloomy-looking.” You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but the signs of the times you cannot interpret.’”—Matthew 16:1-3
.Rve 1:1
Rev 6:1-9

I have read and studied it all, Theland.... admittedly a long time ago now. I have no desire to do it again, as I don't "need" an irrational answer to anything.
I suspect I have read more of it than you have...
I have no need to restudy it myself, but if you are claiming to have answers and proof, I would certainly be willing to read it.

[Theland]

Then begin by giving some attention to what God said regarding Israel in their future, now,our history.
The prophecies match Israels history.,

[pixie374]

No thanks... I have never been interested in psychics either. They prey on vulnerable people... but if you have anything in particular.. please say, and I'll listen.

[Theland]

Psychics?
Nor me.
We have our wires crossed ;-)

[naomi24]

Theland, you know there's a rational explanation for the existence of the State of Israel - and God had no part in it. You just don't want to think about it.

[Theland]

Naomi , please indulge me and repeat your explanation. It would be much appreciated.

[naomi24]

Why? You've heard it several times. You haven't forgotten it.

[Theland]

Naomi - I hope during these trying times that you and your family remain strong and well, and come through it all as strong and as challenging as ever:-)
Best wishes, and take care. X

[Theland]

Your explanation was I recall nothing more than a secular determination to never lose sight of a common ambition to return to the land, or something like that, aided of course by friends in high places.

[Peter Pedant]

// I witnessed in heaven an event of great significance. I saw a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her ...//

I am getting it - look a ref to a crown ( corona - feddit ) so the great Pestilence of 2020 was ALL foretold in revelation
freaky ! call x files !

every little detail - note the 12 stars are obvious the trumpetty things on the photos ( epitopes but lets not get too technical)

[naomi24]

Something like that, theland. What’s wrong with the rational explanation?

[Theland]

Naomi, there is nothing at all wrong with any explanation you suggest.
The point is, God said, all those years ago, that this highly unlikely event would happen, and it did.

[naomi24]

Circular argument theland. Just like the bible’s right because it says it’s right. Fact is god had no hand in the establishment of the State of Israel. That was all man’s own work ... and he did it for obvious reasons.

[Theland]

Naomi - Here is another one to consider.
Nebuchadnezzars dream, the statue.
Look at the feet.
Significant today.

[naomi24]

How?

[Theland]

Nebuchadnezzars dream of the statue, the feet composed of iron and clay, strength and weakness will not bind together.
Like Europe, trying to be a federal state, but not bound together in a crisis, as borders are closed and nationalism is revived, and they will struggle to find a strong man to lead them out of the crisis.

//God said, all those years ago, that this highly unlikely event would happen, and it did//

He also said that Nebuchadnezzar would destroy Tyre (He didnt)
Nebuchadnezzar will conquer Egypt (He didnt)
The Nile will dry up (It didnt)
Egyptians will speak the language of Canaan (They didnt)

All unlikely events. Events that didnt happen as prophesied.
According to you, on an earlier post, the 'prophets' that made these predictions should be put to death. Were they? And if not, why not?

[goodlife]

True Christians are not driven into their faith by fear of world events or you lot.
No Christian will let you or disaster, hard times, accident, sickness or death break there faith with God. In the Bible record we can see that similar things happened before like, Job. He lost his home, property, children; and finally his wife turned against him, urging him to curse God and die. These things were not acts brought by God, but rather were actions of Satan to destroy the faith of Job if possible. Job was content to wait upon Jehovah for deliverance, and his faith was rewarded. He was not tested beyond his endurance, though he cried for deliverance. Just as Job was faithful, so Christ, whom he pictured, was faithful even to death. Is your faith today of like quality? It will be if it is based on accurate knowledge. If you are willing to follow the Bible counsel, then you shall receive his protection and guidance.

(Are your Kingdom halls still operating goodlife?
If not, why not?
Do you not have any faith)
Also he who opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of God; those who have taken a stand against it will receive judgment to themselves.” (Romans 13:2) In view of these words, can a true Christian conscientiously say that he ‘serves God by serving if Is one taking ‘a stand against God’ by participating in, or even advocating, activities that directly challenge the existing governmental authority?

goodlife, try answering for yourself instead of copying and pasting.
So sad!

[Patsy33]

Sad, very robotic.
