Amen, for Jesus is the only way that the peoples of these Nations will be saved. 1 John 2: 17 The world(nations) and its desires will pass away, but whoever does the will of God Lives Forever. May Gods Word Bless you brother Lloyd

Excellent reference, Peter. You and I have been on the same train of thought for a couple of days now, and this is good. Hope our nations, especially mine, get on the same train soon, since yours, I believe, is closer to boarding than mine. Enjoy a blessed weekend, Peter.

Yes, Mary, just as it is in America today

Amen ! ! !

But we must stand firm in our faith and be prepared, even to be martyred for Him. There is a warning for us that may very well cauase us to counjt on Him in faith, even unto death but if we do we will enter Hid glory. Rev 13:6-8 And he opened his mouth (anti-Christ) in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. (7) And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. (8) And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Stregthen us Lord, for the troublesome times ahead. Amen

That's right Lloyd, I believe I'd rather be martyred right up front than to go thru the horrors of the tribulation.

Yes, Donna, and I believe there will be many fall away, saying where is God, bcause of the false teaching of the pre-tribulation rapture. The 3 verses I quoted above rather sum it up fro me. If the church is to be pre-trib raptured, then how will the anti-Christ referred to in this passage going to "make war with the saints and overcome them" if they have already been raptured?? This is one I'd love to be wrong on but I don't think so. Besides that, if we check 2Thessalonians, we find further evidence; 2Th 2:1-4 Now we 2Th 2:beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together u2Th 2:nto him, (2) That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. (3) Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (4) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Lord, prepare your body, the church, to stand firm regardless of what takes place on this earth. Amen

So true, Jerry!

Yes, so very true Jerry and Sharon. Lord God, heal me of my stiff neck pride and thoughts. Open my hears, eyes and heart to the true instead of only what i want to hear. May 2015 be a year of revival, a year of awakening, for me and many others.

AMEN and AMEN....!!!!

I agree with all of you. We need to stay REALLY close to God in these days. The deception is getting greater and the apathy is unbelievable

"This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Listen! I am going to bring on this city and all the villages around it every disaster I pronounce against them, because they were stiff-necked and would not Listen to my words' " Nehemiah 9:16 "But they, our ancestors, became arrogant and stiff-necked, and they did not obey your ( our) (Gods) commands. All through the History of the Old Testament Israel sinned against the God Of Abraham. But through the shed Blood of Jesus Christ death on the Cross for our Sins, Jews and Gentiles alike can come and repent for their sin. Psalm 74:12 But God is my (our) King from long ago; He brings Salvation on the Earth. Pray for Jerusalem that they come to Know the Messiah Jesus Christ.

i have spoken to some Jews and asked them what they thing about Jesus Christ and they say they never heard of Him. Many people teach that you must build a bridge with a Jew before sharing your faith. i disagree with that so much. Most of them are totally in the dark since the religious holidays are no longer religious. i myself never knew (before i was saved in 1988) that Thanksgiving was a religious holiday. i thought we were thanking the pilgrims for coming to America. Now today many do not have a clue what Christmas and Easter are about. Someone has to tell them.

So true, Nancy and Peter. It appears we made our committment to Christ the same year, Nancy. God bless and Happy New Year to all, and may 2015 be a year of massive revival and renewal of the church...!!!
