"We need to move the furniture out of the living room, paint it, and clean the carpet." Gerard says.
"Have you got a frog in your pocket?" I say.
Now Gerard laughs.
Unless you know a little something about the French culture, you don't get it. WE=oui (as in the French language) and Frenchmen being called "frogs".
Or this one happened to me...
Sister, I understand that most of us don't read it as if we were there in the Culture. Salvation did not mean born again if you read the letters back in them days. It meant much more concerning the miracles and power of the Lord Jesus through his Apostles.
When Peter was Ask by what authority or means the man who had been crippled his whole life had been healed.
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation
(Being rescued, Healed, put in safety) in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved ( heal, preserve, save (self), do well, be
(make) whole).
Every time you see Salvation, or saved, it means the full meal deal, the complete package, the all things become new, Saved from the curse of the law which was sickness, poverty, broken hearts. Now, later, and forever.
Pre-trib Rapture, Post trib Rapture:
Has nothing to do with this, or "That Generation" JBL and I agree all they way up until I have to drag him up with me.
The end of all things Deborah, That generation, the word of God to the World, not just Hebrew folks.
Luk 21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
The days of Vengeance Deborah. Tribulation!! This is where everything left in the Word of God is fulfilled. The end, that's it, where the Earth gets melted into a big ball of red goo.
Isa 34:8 For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
Isa 34:9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
Isa 34:10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
There is only one period of Vengeance Deborah, Mentioned in the bible. The day of the Lord following. These days are connected with the same events. The land burning pitch, it shall not be put out from generation to generation. None are able to pass through again, forever and ever.
That has not happened yet.
Luk 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Luk 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Mat 24:15 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
The gospel reached the middle east...... This has not happened yet, right in connection with Danial.
Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
A temple getting knocked over is not worse than Noah's flood or WWII. It's not happened yet.
Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Same account Luke gave, the sun is darkened and the moon does not give light the stars fall from heaven. NOT HAPPENED YET!!!
Read this!! Hope In Glory wants us to believe this has already taken place in "That Generation" Same event in Luke 21 and Matt 24, the Stars Deborah, look!!
Isa 34:2 For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
Isa 34:3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
Isa 34:4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
The time of vengeance, this effects all nations, not some area with a temple. That generation will see all this, and more than one Temple is going to be trashed at this time.
Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
What was their Question Deborah?
Mat 24:2 And Jesus said unto them,
See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying,
Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
What are the signs for the END of the World. That is the question Jesus answered.
Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
It's not about a temple that gets knocked over.
Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Rev 6:13 And
the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Rev 6:14 And
the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Isa 34:4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
What is about to happen?
Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and
hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
These are all the events that
Hope In Glory what you to think have already come to pass in a generation long ago in 70ad. Once that 6th seal is released, the stars get rolled up, the sun goes out the moon, Men's hearts fail them. The seventh seal is opened, there is 1/2 hour of silence, people all over the World that are left are trying to hide, Jesus is coming with power and glory. Time is up!!!
It's not about a temple, it's not about some army in 70ad......................... The generation that sees these things know the end is near. It's that generation. It has nothing to do with Pre-trib or Post-trib.
This is what
Hope IN Glory wants us to believe already came to pass with only a historic record of some temple getting knocked over. NO, in this time, in that generation, all the temples are going down, everywhere in the World. It's over!!!
I can only give scripture upon scripture all in agreement, all connected and none of them lead to some small event in 70ad where someone got their temple knocked over.
Mike.
