When I look at the daily news, I just don’t know what to think anymore except for “Come quickly Lord Jesus”. The world is a mess. The economy worldwide is a disaster, the USA has got a useless leader and the Middle East is about to explode.
I want to share some thoughts from someone on Facebook. The reason for me posting this is because this seems to be the general thoughts shared between Christians worldwide. Were the pre-tribbers waited for the rapture first and then disaster, they seem to be happy with the idea that they may have to suffer a bit before the rapture. Let me know what you think about the following:
As I pondered with the King in my thoughts WHAT THE HECK is about to happen, I got a real sinking feeling. Let’s look carefully at what Barak Obama has accomplished in the past four years he has been in office. His predecessors both BUSH presidents, set the NWO up for Obama to continue. Bush Jr. toppled Saddam Hussein and led our troops into Iraq. Hussein came out DEAD. Obama then came into office and continued the LUNACY by toppling Egypt’s president Mubarak and handing the reins over to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Next, He moves over to Libya and assassinates their leader, Moammar Quaddafi and proceeds to STEAL 140 tons of gold bullion from Libya. THEN, he leaves the Libyan embassy TOTALLY UNGUARDED ON THE 9/11 ANNIVERSARY. He sacrificed Christopher Stephens and now feigns lament for his death……BULL!!!
He set those poor suckers up in that embassy, and just HAPPENED to have TWO WARSHIPS not far offshore that he now has an excuse to deploy and set up a military presence there. I guess stealing 140 tons of gold bullion just wasn’t enough of a spoil!!!! Now he wants the oil, and a new base of operations.
Fellow Americans……our president has set the middle east on fire in chaos and violence. Our embassies all over the world are being attacked. He’s taking our military into all those arab countries and NEVER LEAVING. Our leader is A TYRANT who is PROVOKING THE REST OF THE WORLD TO DEAL WITH US!!!!
I think America is about to be attacked, my friends and family in Jesus. We better prepare ourselves. The wars from the bible ARE ABOUT ISRAEL, so they can’t come before the rapture….BUT, there’s nothing that says this war (likely the Psalms 83 war) can’t happen before the rapture TO US.
Please consider this. Our president has provoked the entire WORLD to attack us. They are ready to do so. Seeing what our president is doing, I understand that they have to react to protect themselves from this TYRANT!!!
What is happening here is that America is being SACRIFICED. The shadow powers stole our wealth, and now they are going to sacrifice America to take the fall for the British Empire.
Obama has purposely provoked the world to destroy us. They are about to do just that. Mystery Babylon is destroyed in an hour’s time, loved ones.
SO WHY IS AMERICA BEING SACRIFICED???
WHY IS IT AMERICA THAT THE SHADOW POWERS WANT TO LURE THE REST OF THE WORLD INTO DESTROYING…….THROUGH A HANDFUL OF WICKED LEADERS??
The answer is very simple, my friends.
AMERICA HAS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF BELIEVERS PER CAPITA OVER EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. IF YOU WIPE OUT AMERICA, YOU WIPE OUT THE BULK OF THE BELIEVERS ON THE PLANET. THAT’S WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT.
I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT TO DIE….I EXPECT WE WILL BE RAPTURED BEFORE THE WHOLE COUNTRY TURNS INTO A HUGE FIREBALL…….BUT JUST IN CASE WE ARE – GET RIGHT WITH GOD RIGHT NOW – PLEASE, BECAUSE THINGS ARE ABOUT TO DRASTICALLY CHANGE IN THE WORLD!!
GOD HELP US.

this speaks pretty much to the urgency i am feeling in my heart about what is soon—–soon—–to happen. the Scripture urges us to redeem the time for the sake of the Gospel and let our lives and lips be used to tell and prove that Jesus Christ is Alone–the Way the Truth and the Life to the Glory of God the Father. Jesus said–let not your hearts be troubled. He said this when trouble was at every side–but—our God Reigns–His Word is being fulfilled to the letter. this gives me pause—and yes tony saddens me too but also my hope is stirred that Jesus is coming–coming for us–and coming before too long to take back the title deed to the earth to reign as it’s King. God’s enemies days are numbered….mene, mene, tekel, upharsin—found wanting……………………….

I haven’t posted in a while either – and was driving home the other night thinking things through, writing in my head so to speak, before I sit down at the keyboard.
Like you mention above, I’m just so overwhelmed most days with how evil things have become in the world around us. It seems like if there’s an evil that people can do- the majority seem to be choosing it and embracing it these day. I could be wrong, but I just get this feeling that the world has been given over to what is has desired.
I don’t see the coming calamity in the US as a result of the many believers though. If anything I think that if a great calamity strikes the US it will be allowed in God’s mercy to shake the remnant here out of its complacency, it’s love for the things of this world, and yes it’s lukewarmness. I know some among the word faithy (pseudo-christian) sects have been making lots of noise about a revival here in the US to avoid judgement (if only they were real Jonahs, they are not). When I read news of Christians around the world – I do see evidence of revival, but it’s taking hold the most in places like China, Iran, Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia – the places where Christians are persecuted and hunted for their faith. I listen to groups like Voice of the Martyrs – and they tell us something, when someone is willing to embrace Christ even though they may die soon for it, it is not a man-pleasing for show conversion. It pains me to think that the trials that I’ve experienced in my life are nothing compared to what’s coming – but thank God for it and thank God for the genuine surrendered lives, the transformation and the abandonment of living for this world that will come from it. If he allows it, he will provide the means to endure it.

God bless you and stop freaking out .If you are a bible believer you know this was coming and you knew it was going to happen , just stand up for the truth and the gospel and you be fine.You are going a little overboard about things ,just let it happen if this the time than it is if not then continue to share the gospel and wait for that day and that day from the looks of it is going to be in are time and soon.Remeber people there is an antichrist and a false prophet and also satan is going to use people to do his things.Also correct me if am wrong but ithink in daniel it explains that the antichrist is going to have white hair like wool and obama doesnt have that, the only one that fits that description is the pope.

Hello my friends and family in Christ Jesus. Remember our redemption is nigh and lift up your eyes for the glory of your salvation will be coming in the manner to which he left. I on the other hand do not believe it to be soon, but I may be wrong. If we really think about it, God could very well be punishing America. The word of God says that sin is for a season. The United States has been under God’s protection for a very long time, and has been getting away with killing his babies and taking his name in vain. The things that we as Christians have let pass through Congress and without prayer. We all are to blame for taking America “a gift from God and taking away the morality that God instilled in it a little at a time. I too believe that when Gods wrath comes down on America, He will protect the ones that stayed true to him just like he did Shadrak, Meshak, and abendigo along with Daniel, Jerimaiah, Hoseah along with all of the true followers of God. Stay true brothers and sisters in Christ and He will stay true to you! Vote your heart this year and pray that God does not give us over to Obama again! We need a President that fears God again like Bush. I pray that Mitt is that man.God will never leave us or forsake us and His Will, will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven whether we like it or not. God bless and shalom!

Will ‘Mystery Babylon’ be destroyed, because it is the MOST Christian – or because it is the LEAST Christian…?
And what evidence is there to support the belief that America is, in fact ‘Mystery Babylon’? Isn’t the Harlot rather symbolic of the corrupt, seemingly Christian world church, of the later days? Might there be something BIGGER than America here?

Angela,
Why do you think so many Christians in America are pre-trib? It is the arrogance that makes them believe God would never ask them to suffer. I am American, so I can say that without any accusations of prejudice.
It is my personal belief, although I don’t know how many would agree, that the Babylonian Mysteries are headquartered with the Freemasons. Her history is long and that is the last group with whom she settled. Yes, she infiltrated the church, but that is not presently her headquarters (although she did try to headquarters herself there for a while and left her corruption and followers behind when she left). Masons hold positions of power in government (all world leaders tend to be Masons, regardless of politics), religion (which explains the apostasy across the board), and business (which is where the wealth is). Their first allegiance is not to country, religion, or their job, but to the Masonic Order. It comes before all else. The Supreme Mother of the Councils of the World Masonic headquarters (note the label of “mother”) where only the highest Masons may attend (32 or 33 degree) is located in Washington, DC. A great many of our leaders (political, religious, business) as well as entertainers, artists, etc. meet once a year in California at the Bohemian Grove to offer a burnt sacrifice to the God Molech. (They say it is not a real child, but just a straw dummy, I tend to think it is a real child from things I have heard.) The city of DC is laid out with all the Masonic symbols, and our nation’s capitol building was built as a religious shrine to the goddess Babylon (check out the statue at the top). She sits in NYC harbor welcoming people. That is only the beginning of the story of America’s Masonic background. That is only a small part of the reasons why I believe we are Babylon. She is more than just a religion; she is also a political entity that sits around the world (on many waters both literally here at home and figuratively abroad around the world) at the highest levels of every country. This is just her headquarters.

Yes, I think you’re right – pre-trib ‘escapism’ has fallen into fertile ground. Not only in the States, but in the ‘rest of the West’.
As for Masons and ‘Mystery’ – yes, they are probably some of Babylon’s greatest fans. But I am convinced this ‘mystery’ is something that, just like leaven (yeast) has permeated just about every stata of ‘polite society’ (and impolite!).
It is so much bigger than what can be nailed at any one organizations door.
The ancient Babylonian mystery religion goes back to the Serpent in the garden of Eden.
And the bottom line is always ‘The fruit of (mystical) knowledge of good and evil is good’, and ‘you can be (like) gods!’
You may have noticed almost ‘everyone’ is saying this?

Definition of WRATH
1
: strong vengeful anger or indignation
2
: retributory punishment for an offense or a crime : divine chastisement
Tribulation and wrath is not the same thing open your eyes and wake up take your time to read the bible and dont jump to your conlusion jump to God conclusion.
Alot of people are going to feel discouraged when they get persecuted and are going to end up asking where is Jesus and the rapture and guess what he is not coming until the antichrist is reveal.Is going to be pretty sad to see people asking for mercy in the tribulation and looking for the rapture and cursing god all because of the pre tribulation crap preaching.

King James Version (KJV)

2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Luke 21:15-17
For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of me.
2 Thessalonians 2
New International Version (NIV)
The Man of Lawlessness
2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
Stand Firm
13 But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits[b] to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. 14 He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings[c] we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.
16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, 17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
This is love and is not from me is from my father in heaven . god bless you.

Nothing is going to be better and people still think that there is hope to fix this world , but the only hope is jesus christ to save us from are sins.I live a peaceful life because i know this most happen , i just live amaze on how accurate the bible is.But i feel that as bible believing christians we can do more and when we get in to a conversation we cant not agreed with the world and thats what most christians are doing this day ,they say stuff just to make people feel good and thats wrog, why do you think people and priest hated Jesus christ cause he told them the truth.Telling people the truth is not hate or anger, telling the truth is love and that love comes from are heavenly father and his son jesus christ.You got this site running and you are doing something good i encourage you to make it work and try to reach to as many people you can along with the same people that you know and come across this site especially unbelievers.This is the time to really share the gospel are families and friends and neighbors are just falling in love with this world i just dont want to be a part of one of those peole that did not warn them and show them the way.The other day one of the news stop the 911 ceremony so they can talk to Kardashian about her boob job, that just shows you the days we are living right now.

And I’m glad to say, that even here in Sweden, many of those the Lord is ‘waking up’, are also waking up to the falsehood of a Scripturally unsupported pre-trib-rapture, and of the replacement falsehood that goes along whith it.
There are homepages, similar to this one, where not everyone, but the majority, now lean more toward a post-trib/ pre-wrath view. I know of brothers who just recently have come round to this conclusion.
As far as ‘conspiring agents’, we’ve just recently felt the heat of that here, as one Christian brother’s homepage is shut down at the moment, because someone hijacked his domain adress, and started sending hate mail to people via the brother’s adress!
Please, would you remember him in prayer, as he is one of few ‘awake’ pastors here.

He came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it. The feast days being replaced by ?easter, christmas and sacraments, by and thru the catholic church,….and the drift away from sacred truth beginning, and going forth into the protestantism pathway makes me wonder if we are running the risk of missing the mark—–or even worse yet, of hitting it. Is this the mark of the beast sway?

Christ was then and is now the New and Living Way as the entire book of hebrews attests. He kept the Law because we could not-so why would we want to go back there (under ritual law) instead of resting in what Jesus Himself put to rest? if separated from the subject of salvation that knowledge (in judaism) proves enriching but we must be discerning amen?

2Ti 2:22 — Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2Ti 2:23 — But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

lots of believers wonder and are attracted to this type of connection w/ truth, no doubt. i don’t think you put sabbath above Christ Jesus by any means!, just follow it like you follow all the other commands of God , like thou shalt not commit adultry, nor covet , nor lie nor steal nor worship false gods…{ a question: did Jesus really resurrect on sunday?}i’ll search it. going back to commandments and all, by grace WE ARE SAVED, but we have to be born again and repent of our sinning, our transgressing of the law—thru obedience, as evidence of truely believing and truely being born again

Interesting conversation on keeping the law.
Rememeber Jesus was of the tribe of Judah not Levi and He is our great high priest, we are not required to keep the letter of the law under the Levitical system. Paul refers to Christ as of the order of Melchisadech (spelling) who was a foreshadow of Christ in belessing Abraham who had in him the seed of Levi, this king of Jerusalem was showing himself as superior to Levi…. I could ramble on there’s lots in this, but as He is the Lord of the Sabath perhaps we should rest a little each day?
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and your neighbour as yourself, job done.

well said james. the Law is kept in what you refer to that Jesus said. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and your neighbour as yourself, job done.” the entire book of hebrews outlines and fleshes out the whole of Jesus Christ the Righteous who kept the Law in our behalf so i love how you highlight that understanding. also we know we must surrender (die to ourselves) daily to this understanding—not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord of Hosts -from zech 4. (how the saved are sanctified to follow the Lord with His Spirits’ Wisdom and Strength in order to obey-enabled to Love God and my neighbor as myself). what a different world we would awaken in everyday if we believers truly did as Jesus said………..i speak this to my own heart and for anyones edification.

Tony,
I believe it is good for us to learn the meaning of the Biblical feasts – and how Jesus has, and will, fulfill each one in the fullest sense. It’s all pointing to him!
Replacement theology, and the total distancing of the church from the jews has proven extremely tragic throughout history… It’s true, as far as the gospel, they are enemies… but as to the promises of God, they are His chosen people, because of the forefathers.
But it’s possible to go too far whith the preoccupation whith all things jewish. Someone mentioned Galatians – we should read it carefully, since it originates whith a jewish scolar!
As for sun-day-worship being the mark of the Beast… this is a strong seventh-day-adventist teaching. Can we say that they are good examples of sound, biblical teaching, and spiritual discernment?
They bring up some valid points concerning the papal system, but otherwise I believe them to be way off…
As to the church meeting on the ‘first day of the week’, this was true already of the very first church, and if I’m not mistaken, it has to do whith the fact that the first day of the week was resurrection day. (And maybe even a symbolic reference to ‘a new beginning’, and to the millennial reign of Messiah?)
Just as we shouldn’t limit ourselves to tithing – ALL we have is His – so we perhaps shouldn’t limit ourselves to any ONE day of the week? ALL days are His.(They met DAILY in the homes…)
And as for the Sabbath – isn’t this also a strong pointer to our entering into the rest of the finished work of Christ? God rested on the seventh day, pleased whith His finished work. And so we can also rest in the (for all days and all times) Sabbath rest of Christ’s finished work of salvation. Sabbath then means our total rest in His finished work, and a rest from all our own (good) works, to try to save ourselves.
More than any one week day, this is a state of being for the saved believer, and a place of rest. Shabbat, and ‘seven’, infers fullness, and completeness. And our resting from every kind of ‘works’ is so much more profound, than the jews not using the microwave oven.
Might the eighth day, which is also the first day, be symbolic of the resurrection, and of new things to come…?
Well, this is as far as I have come.
Tony, don’t buy into the judaizers package – they make everything small and narrow once again, going back to the shadow-symbols, instead of coming into the fullness of Christ.
sincerely

Great post Angela.
Very good also to keep from being unloving in any way toward those who do keep a certain “day”.
We have such a perfect answer in God’s Word.
Romans 14
1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike………….. Let ……………….every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
It’s not that complicated…….LET……Each and every one who Enters Into His Rest, Rest as they CHOOSE to Rest…………..In FAITH, that worketh by LOVE.

Pastor Bob made mention of something i had not heard befor-ever. That there is adilluted wrath of God {during the 1st 3.5yrs of trib}, and an UNDILLUTED, FULL BLOWN wrath of God in the last 3.5yrs! i Know this causes lots of agitation in the water here and i do not want to be either problematic, or distracting. this is bringing me back to when i used to realize a 7yr period of Gods wrath known as the TRIBULATION week. we could or might say, “dosen’t pastor bob see that ………,and doesnt he know about………, but hey, i heard him once talk on rev 12, just like i’ve heard short-tribber speak on the same, and blessings flowed big on both occasions or ocassions rather. was one correct{like in my spelling here} and one incorrect? or, or, or is there an all truth thing of some sort going on in Gods muti-dimensional schematic. Like no matter how i spelt okasion above, you knew what i meant so no real worries,……really i’m just wondering, and not playing any games with anyone or trying to be funny NOR CRAZY sounding.Does anyone catch my drift,?,…i seem ,to myself, to still be open-minded, or maybe someway not fully or completely convinced w/ 100percent assurance of one view over all others , yet!
