bjbjqPqP It is common misconception among my family and friends both facebook and those
i see face to face.. That i am living in fear, that i have ignorance of the word, that i
am arrogant; all of the above NOT TRUE. I do however; see this coming straight out of
the pulpits of almost every church i have attended in the last five years! The mere
fact that "they" can't seem to grasp the most basic end-time scenarios that our generation
most certainly will face these scenarios. By not preach these things; it only shows
their fear, ignorance and arrogance.. My post from yesterday Not directed at least it wasn't
meant to be directed at) those of you who do "grasp" these things.. It was meant to
be SHARED to help those who do not yet see these ...TRUTHS-FROM SCRIPTURE... MOST OF
ALL; IT WAS NOT MEANT to bring more unnecessary admonishment on me. ::This post read in it's
entirety:: I want to challenge you to live for a few day's (and you will see something
happen in your lives) with the mind set that we have literally a short time remaining before
the Lords return. You may think this is not "right" because the bible says.."the Lord
will return as a (thief in the night)" this over used phrase i dare say is one of the
most misinterpreted phrases in the Bible. Only houses with "sleeping" owners, with out
watchmen, are overtaken by thieves. However this comes with the flip side which i will
start with a verse or two from Amos the minor prophet.. this is for Christians who view
the day of the Lord as something to "look forward to" as if it will be some magic rapture;
where there will be no suffering for Christians.. This could not be more wrong. Amos 5:18-20
18 Woe to you who long for the day of the LORD! Why do you long for the day of the LORD?
That day will be darkness, not light. 19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion only
to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have
a snake bite him. 20 Will not the day of the LORD be darkness, not light-- pitch-dark,
without a ray of brightness?... Amos was not talk to non-believers.. he was talking to
believers. The other side of the coin... it will be predictable to the believers.. those
who will NOT be over-taken by that "thief in the night".. 2 Peter 3:4-12 4 they will
say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes
on as it has since the beginning of creation." 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago
by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water.
6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word
the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the Day of Judgment
and destruction of ungodly men. 8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With
the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord
is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you,
not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 10 But the day of the
Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be
destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. 11 Since everything
will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live
holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That
day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt
in the heat. 1 Thessalonians 5:3-7 3 While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction
will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should (NOT) surprise you like
a thief. 5 You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night
or to the darkness. 6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us
be alert and self-controlled. 7 For those who sleep, sleeps at night, and those who
get drunk, get drunk at night. Luke 21:29-31 29 He told them this parable: "Look at the
fig tree and all the trees. 30 When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know
that summer is near. 31 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that
the kingdom of God is near. Acts 2:17 17 " 'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my
Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old
men will dream dreams. I showed you these verses.. all to say.. when someone says we
are at the end of days.. i don't think pacification of that thought is right, especially anymore
in this day and age. i am in no way trying to judge or rebuke you . I want you to know
that i AM CALLED by God, and i am doing what he wants. I just don't get paid for it. my
re-dead-ication to this calling is my poverty and penance.. What ever you think of the theology
in my video (link attached below; please check it out.. ).. It is God given.. and it is TIME
for all believers to start sounding the WARNING ! )) ~~~--< smoke'm if ya got em Your
brother.. john/ U.C. Broson The trick for
Christians is to learn to come along side their brethren... and not to come off as the
greater leading the lesser. Saving admonishment for times when their brothers and sisters
are endangering themselves. As when a child runs into the street without looking first.
[ (or refuses to listen) which i guess in the end is always a matter of opinion] P>S>
