God Thinking LX - As You Get Closer 2

"God is not a bit distraught that spiritist, crystal ball readers, palm readers and card readers make money off of the vulnerable and ignorant public at large.

God is not moved by all the skeptics that think that the Bible is just a history book and a not very accurate one at that.

God is not worried that scientist will discover that we were once monkeys and that the earth did begin by two stars colliding 5 billion years ago, give or take a few billion years.

God is not unsettled that politicians would refer to God as, an “opiate to the masses”

God is not moved by the poets referring to Him as the one that isn’t.

God is not moved by the philosopher’s final analysis that, “God is dead.”  We have come to learn that Notradamos is dead, not God.

God is not worried when satan and all his demons make up some new potion for people to try - or when satan repackages imitations of God’s Word and sells them as philosophy.

But, God is moved when those who call themselves Christians ignore His plan for their lives."

"Just because there are many ‘ways’ offered by various religious groups doesn’t mean that those ways are credible. 

God is not in competition with anyone.

God is not concerned that you or someone you know or some guru from Nepal or Jihadist from Iraq is going to come up with a better plan or a better way than His plan.

There is no book that God needs to be concerned about - One that might reveal something that God forgot to tell us in the scriptures.

God is not at all moved with the thousands of varieties of religious beliefs and religions that add to or take away from God’s inspired Word.

God is not at all surprised when Islam or Hinduism or Taoism attempts to stake a claim as a viable authority into the heart of God.

God is not concerned that the whole world seeks after something or someone other than His Son to fulfill their inner desire to know their creator."

God Thinking LIX - The Number Of Man 14

"The last major event of the last days is:

The creation of the Gentile world domination/power

also referred to as the European Union.  

Timeline: 5993 or 2021 or prior

(Daniel 7:19-26), also referred to as the culmination of Eastern and Western empires Daniel 2:41 and by theologians as the European Union and the “one world government” in Ezekiel 38:2.

I don’t know how close you are following world events, but this idea of the European Union has already been initiated.

There’s one more major event that God prophesied that would have to take place prior to the creation of the Gentile world domination/power or the rapture of the Church.

The reinstatement/restoration of Israel.

Timeline: 5920 or 1948 A.D.

The reinstatement/restoration of Israel was predicted in Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel and especially in Ezekiel Chapter 37 and 38.

That was 66 years ago.

Here’s where we are in time.

Now going forward

The next major prophesied event to take place

The creation of the European Union prior 5993 or 2021 or prior.

Then The rapture 5993 0r 2021 A.D. or prior

using the seven year spread it could be as early as 2014 and as late as 2028.

Then the great tribulation

Then the battle of Armageddon

Then the second coming of Christ

Then the binding of satan for 1,000 years

Then the 1,000 year millenial reign of Christ

Then satan is released for a short time

Then satan is cast into hell

Then the great white throne judgement

Then the new heaven and the new earth.

Hallelujah."

God Thinking LIX - The Number Of Man 13

"Prior to the rapture of the Church is:

The last days.

Timeline: Jesus mentioned that the last days had already begun during His ministry, A.D. 30 and continues to this day.

Whether you agree with the A.D. timeline that I have prepared, for the events that God says will take place, or not, the timeline of the scriptures says that we are approximately in the year 5993.

The last days of the Church age is that portion of scripture that we live in today.

2 Timothy 3:1-7

1.  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

 2.  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

 3.  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

 4.  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

 5.  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.  (Need I say more)

 6.  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

 7.  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

I can’t help but say, Amen.

2 Peter 3:3

3.  Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

Matthew 24:4-12, especially Verse 6,7,8,9,10

 6.  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars:

 7.  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

 8.  All these are the beginning of sorrows.

 9.  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

 10.  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

We are at the end of the last days."

"Prior to the great tribulation is:

The rapture of the Church.

Timeline: 5993 or 2021 or prior

The rapture of the Church and the beginning of the great tribulation are synonymous.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-17

13.  But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

 14.  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

 15.  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

 16.  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

 17.  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52

 51.  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

 52.  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Revelation 4:1

1.  After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Hereafter what?  The completion of the Church on earth.

The first 3 chapters of Revelation are devoted to detailing the seven types of Churches during the Church age and the seven timelines of the Church during the Church age, the seventh Church being the Church of Laodicea.

The Church is not mentioned again in scripture with the exception of the last chapter of Revelation, when Jesus reiterates one last plea and says, “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.”  Revelation 22:16"

God Thinking LIX - The Number Of Man 11

"Prior to the second coming of Christ is:

The beginning of the great tribulation which occurs in the first 3 ½ years after the rapture of the church.

Timeline: 5993 or 2021 or prior

Revelation 11:1-2

 1.  And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

 2.  But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

Also Daniel 2, 7, 9

Psalm 2:1-5

Revelation 16:1-15

V 1.  And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

Matthew 24:15-21, especially V15 & amp; 21

15.  When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

 21.  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

The great tribulation is not for the Church. 

During the time of the great tribulation, the world is governed by gentile world domination, the first 3 ½ years is devoted to organizing world powers to come into union against Israel and the second 3 ½ years is devoted to exacting war against Israel.

Christians have protected and will protect the nation of Israel until the rapture, at which time born-again believers will be taken out of the earth.  After the rapture of the Church the nation of Israel will stand alone to defend itself against the entire world.

And we see in V 22 of Matthew 24, “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved:...”

God Thinking LIX - The Number Of Man 10

"Prior to the battle of Armageddon is:

The second coming of Christ.

Timeline: 5996.5 or 2024.5 or earlier.

Revelation 19:11-16

11.  And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

 12.  His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

 13.  And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

 14.  And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

 15.  And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

 16.  And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Sometimes people get the second coming of Christ and the rapture of the Church mixed up, but they are two distinct events at two distinct times. 

The rapture, or the ‘catching up’ of the Church takes place seven years prior to the second coming of Christ. 

The rapture is the catching up of the dead in Christ and those who are living at the time, literally, “the Church”, into heaven - and the second coming of Christ is the setting up a heavenly government on earth at Mount Zion to reign and rule with His saints for the next one thousand years."
