Matthew 24
1 Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”
3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
4 And Jesus answered and said to them:....44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect....
34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
So the Temple was torn down, and the generation did pass away. All roads lead to MAD. The prophecy interupted. Extra portions thrown in for good measure. You don't know when, so always be ready, as he told ISRAEL.
Let's see, the majority of the OT church was waiting for the Messiah and missed his 1st Coming, even though it was right under their noses. Could it be the majority of the NT church was waiting for his 2nd Coming and missed it as well, even though it was right under their noses?
End times. Are we in them?
The Lord had two sisters- Israel and Judah- for wives. He only divorced one- Israel. Judah's marriage to the Lord ended when the Jews rejected the Lord as her king (preferring Caesar), and had Jesus killed.Is 54:6 ¶ For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
That this is written to the divorced wife and NOT Judah is clear.Is 49:20 The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.
21 Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?
Right now, the children of the Desolate Woman are still mingled with the nations where they are being misinformed concerning their heritage by Babylonian ideas which have been given personhood as the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth has fornicated with the governments of all nations. Mystery Babylon seems to be the wife of Judah writing of which is found In Malachi.Is 50:1 ¶ Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
Until the true believers prepare themselves by ignoring the propaganda of Babylon and coming out of her (thus establishing themselves on earth as an identifiable ethnos with the values of heaven), they will not be ready to populate Beulah Land.2:8 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
10 ¶ Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
11 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
12 The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.
As it stands, now, the true believers- the Israel of God- are not welcome as inhabitants of the earthly Jerusalem- and haven't been for a long time.Jer 22:3 Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
4 For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
5 But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.
6 For thus saith the LORD unto the king’s house of Judah; Thou art Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.
7 And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
The reformed world government burns Mystery Babylon (made useless by the loss of true believers) down, and, then, sets sights on the Lamb by coming against the wife of the Lamb- Israel.Eze 11:15 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this land given in possession.
16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
You have a wicked, unbelieving heart.If you want to know why we are having an increase of earthquakes, read Psalms 82 and Proverbs 30:21-23.
The sons of the Most High who defend the rich and powerful from the poor and afflicted are the cause of these earthquakes.
Like the Pharisess, you put your trust in Moses (Law), completely negating Christ, and the cross. You preach a ministry of death and condemnation, because you trust in your own righteousness, rejecting Christ's.I believe the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was able to say what He meant in a way that the simple could become wise.
I believe He had the good will to say what He meant.
I believe He had the power to preserve the words He said.
I believe that what He said is beyond the kin of men's imagination, and THAT is why men misinterpret His message. They lean to their own understanding.
Obviously, you do not have the power to perceive a man with a believing heart so your witness is useless.
Bye-Bye.

Ro 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Wrong. God's elect would never say what you said, thus proving yourself as not being one of God's elect.Sozo, your accusation is less than invalid. You are bringing a charge against the elect.
Jesus is Him whose name is called The Word of God. The problem encountered by all who receive the word of God is that they find out that it brings only persecution. Though it tastes like honey on their tongue, digestion of it is uncomfortable.John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
However, men will attempt to seduce and some will turn back as did Demas. Today, most have been deceived by the love of money and love the rich more than they love the poor (James 2) and fail to discern the poor members of the body of Christ as as valuable as the rich members(1 Co 11:20-30).Re 10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
1Co 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
Mt 10:24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
What was the one thing that The Eleven insisted that Paul remember?7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
What charge did Paul give to Timothy to charge the rich?Ga 2:10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
Timothy was ordered to order the rich to communize.1 Ti 6:13 ¶ I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
Communicate, here, is the same word that is used to describe the first economy of the Acts believers; they had all things in common.Ga 6:6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
I was told this week I shouldn't bother going back to school because the economy is going to collapse, the dollar will be useless and the Rapture is going to happen soon. I told him to go dig his hole and wait for it. My husband said I was a little harsh? :think:
