From what I read in the Bible,..... logically....., there will not be any resolution.

Do you notice this as well???? What are your thoughts.????
Well Razzel, I know for a fact we live in the last days. Our LORD commanded that first the gospel would be preached in every nation and then the end would come. The gospel has been preached in every nation, so it should be very simple that we should soon expect the end of the world.
I believe the Revelation contains teaching about 2000 years of the Church in the world. This 2000 years is near it's end. CHRIST will appear after the 2000 years are over.

Then the world will end. Of course the saints will go to the new Earth and the New Jerusalem, the heavenly city which Abraham was looking for (looking forward to) and John saw in the Heavenly vision of the Revelation.

Best wishes to all the saints. Oh what a day that will be, When our LORD JESUS we shall see!

The Bible states that when the Jews return Israel that that generation will not pass away. Thus, there will be people still born in 1948 (when the Jews returned to Israel) when Christ returns.

The Bible states that in the Last Days it will be like the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Folk fear their worldly circumstances more than give reverence to (fear) God.

Perfect Love casts out all fear. Ironic how the will of the flesh (self preservation) is still the mindset of the majority in the church?

Life's a journey, enjoy the ride NOT life's a b * t c h and then you die.

Blessings

When my father was 23 years old he started her seeing things that were not there and hearing things no one else could see. Strange things would happen. To most people, they would think it is just a mental disorder, yet that was not the case.

He would hear voices that would say things like "we are going to kill you."

He would see something like 1000 eyes stair at him or the time when he was paralyzed and could not move in bed. Then it was like something lit a match on his chest. Or the time when he was in the basement and a shadow person came flying at him. Now you could think he was drugs, but my dad never did a drug in his life.

These encounters lasted for about 6 months and were pretty frequent.
The ONLY thing that would help was prayer, Bible reading, and Christian music. However, my dad was not able to stop these encouters by himself.


He believed they were demons and knew he had to do something fast as the encounters were getting more intense. The people came over and performed an "exorcism" to expel the demons. One man could actually here what the demons were saying to my dad. Another lady that was there could see them. The said she say something like an angel come and take TWO demons with a net down in a hole in the ground.

After that day of the exorcism my dad NEVER had another encounter.


Now you can go through like thinking we are born, we live and then die. But these evil forces that seem to ONLY hate Jesus and the Bible tell us that there is more to life. That there is an invisible battle over souls.

thats why there are no high priest now no one knows if they are a direct descendant of Arron and that is the ONLY people that can serve as a high priest. besides the fact they no longer have the ark which was housed in the temple.

Besides the fact that I find it odd how many of you want to tie Christianity and Judaism. We worship the same God but thats as far as the similarity ends.

I will probably upset some with this next statement but I have never been accused of being subtle. A practicing Jew cannot inherit the Kingdom. Its an impossibility according to what the Scriptures teach us.

So why connect us ?
Like someone said earlier, The Jews are God's timeclock.

Just because the Jewish people have turned their back on God, it does not disqualify what was promised to them 1000s of years ago. God keeps his promises.

Sorry to interject, but the Jews have not turned their back on G-d.
They believe in G-d.It is the Christian interpretation that Jesus is G-d that divides the Christian and Jew.
Jesus said that know one could get to the Father except through Him.If His words are truth,then no one, includes anyone who does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah!

He came unto His own, but His own received Him not.

Sounds like Jesus to me.

The Jew's rejecting Jesus as the Messiah just are fulfilling prophecy of the the OT.

Which I now agree with. When I posted that I was attending a pro-gay liberal church. The verse the OP used though wasn't the correct one. I hope Christ comes within the next 3-5 years, to spare us from whats coming. Things are starting to unfold that will make the prophecy very easily fulfilled. Look at the natural disasters this year compared to any year before. I haven't seen anything like this. Research the "Peak Oil" theory, which will likely kill off 2/3 of the world population if proven true.

I lean pre-tribulation rapture but I am not set in stone in that view.
