Pastor Dana Coverstone Speaks of Dreams He's Had: "Brace Yourselves!"
I don't listen to anyone who says go stock up on guns!

2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind - - Fearful people use guns

1 John 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. - - -Jesus laid down his life for those who were killing him, do the same

How would you know the difference between a spiritual person and the world? You wouldn't if Jesus had not done what he did. We are not of this world anymore, don't act like it.

John 15:12-13 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Love people the same way he loved us - - - - -Don't do the opposite

I don't agree with the gun thing either as I will gladly lay my life down for another as this needs to be the greatest time of taking the Gospel message out to the world to all who will have ears to hear.

Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Then you and I are on the same page, cause I was thinking of posting this scripture too. Bless you sis.

Bullets maybe.

But no need to stock up on the guns.

Just one, or two, will do.

"He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’ ; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”

The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.”

“That’s enough!” he replied.​

I knew this would be used. Jesus said that to fulfill prophecy about him. I highlighted the important part in that scripture!

If Jesus didn't defend.............We don't either. We act as Christ acts!

Our's is to love thy neighbor and take no thought for our self as being a servant of God our focus needs to be witnessing Christ to those who come against us and persecute us.

John 18:10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
John 18:11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

Is it not our cup also to lay our life down for another that we might save a soul by the words of our testimony?

Maybe.

You might be right.

But I doubt it.

I'm not Jesus.

I'm bad.

In me there is no good.

For the desire to do what is good is with me, but there is no ability to do it.

I'm bad bad bad bad bad, I'm nationwide.

But since I have kept His Word about patiently enduring, He will keep me from the hour of trial that will come upon the whole world.

When Jesus told his disciples to buy swords, the time for talking was over.

Like I think it is now.

The night when no man can work.

We're just waiting for our brothers and fellow servants to enter into the world.

But for those who do, this one will hold 6 shells, not like the two from the ones in the old western movies. It goes on sale for $150.00. Probably cheaper than some regular swords.

I was watching an episode of Tombstone Territory where the main actor was saying while most gun fighters might not mind being hit by a pistol, they cringe at the thought of being blasted by a shotgun.

Best Defensive Shotguns for Older Shooters

When it comes to home defense, the best firearm for most shooters is a shotgun. A handgun is for concealed carry and as a weapon of opportunity to stop an unexpected attack. A rifle is for long-range work.​
While either may be used successfully for home defense, the shotgun has the advantage in this scenario. A shotgun handles largely by feel, and points well. The shotgun offers a spread of shot that increases the user’s chances of making a hit in the dark.​
Why a Shotgun?
The question might well be, “Why any firearm?” Every day there is a headline of some deadly incident that could have been stopped with a shotgun. Home invasions and animal attacks are common in this dangerous world.​
The shotgun is formidable protection for prepared individuals. Everyone cannot afford a tactical rifle or even need one. The shotgun is far better suited to home defense than a handgun.​

Blessed are the peacemakers.

Peaceful Sabbath.

This is not a reason to cling to your badness. If you loved him, you would WANT to be a disciple of him. He lays down his life and his disciples do the same.

Every time I talk about politics I get my post deleted. But now you have the audacity to post the picture of a great man in a thread about the anti-Christ. I think I must be on the wrong site. I have to think about my future here. I hope you do not represent the majority of people here. The bottom line is that POLITICS is not allowed on this board. My moderator status got taken away because I mentioned one word about politics. But you seem to feel comfortable posting while I will probably get banned again for this, but I have to speak up just the way Christ did to the moneychangers. May God forgive you.

You are welcome to go through The Great Tribulation - Matthew 24:21-22, I am going in the Rapture #1! My Prayer is that I study and show myself approved unto God, a workman who needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. And not be a hypocrite.
Also leaving in the first one. Before the tribulation is what I believe. But I don't wish for anyone to be left behind when th the day comes! Those days don't seem to be a good time to be living on this big small planet!
Oh my....
 
This fear tactic is not only used against non pre-tribbers, but is also used against pre-tribbers to keep them in line. It is a teaching based in and on fear.
The fear.... One of the great killers.. leave fear as fast as you possibly can brothers and sisters! In the name!
 
The resurrection, the rapture and destruction of the antichrist occurs at His coming, which is after the tribulation.

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 1 Thessalonians 4:15


The coming, which would be the second coming, occurs after the tribulation.

No guns needed! The word! The word!
 
I am not going to pretend that I would not be afraid if someone pointed a gun at me , I would be scared. Very scared. I am made of flesh.
The power that we have is the Holy Spirit and I would ask Him to take me over.
Feel the fear but let The Holy Spirit take it away.

Why would you doubt this, especially when given a fianl oportunity to witness Christ to that of your executioner that just might have a change of heart by you testifing of the love of Christ? None of us are good in the flesh as our own righteousness is a filthy rag to God, Isaiah 64:6.

Rev 3:10 Because the Church of Philadelphia (Gods pure Church) have kept the word of God and have waited for him patiently God will keep them from being tempted by the works of Satan that will deceive even the elect of God if they are weak, Matthew 24:24. Those who overcome will God make them to sit with him in the New Jerusalem that is waiting to be ushered down.

When Jesus told His disciples to go buy swords it was for the purpose of defending themselves from thieves and wild animals that were very prevalent to the areas they walked and traveled through during their ministries.

Jesus will never lose anyone that are His own that God has given Him. Whether we live or die we are still the Lord's own, John 6:37-40.

Using a gun to protect yourself and your family is a personal choice, but I personally choose not to kill as with my dying breath I will witness Christ's love.
 
Is there only one anti-Christ?

The Bible never defines just one antichrist, but says even now there are many and in the end of days will be the last time, 1 John 2:18. We have to remember that Satan is a created spirit and needs to work through others in order to build his literal kingdom here on earth as the war in heaven between Michael and Satan has not happened yet, Rev 12:7-12. This will be a Luciferian system of political, economic, military, educational and false religious power that founded in 1534 with its headquarters in Rome, Italy that will sit upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north which is Jerusalem on the same Temple mount of God where the Dome of the Rock is being refurbished for the son of perdition to take its seat. This power of the beast out of the sea gives power to the beast out of the earth who will control the government of every nation and even now works its iniquity in the world, Rev 13.

The beast that will rise up out of the sea, as the sea here is symbolic of people and nations as in a sea of humanity, Daniel Chapter 7:1-8; Revelation 17:15, gives power to the beast that comes up out of the earth who is the last antichrist/ false prophet/son of perdition. His works is the abomination that causes desolation that Jesus forewarned us of in Matthew 24:15 and Daniel who explained this last of the seven remaining nations that still exist today and has always persecuted God's people from the time of Babylon up to present day unto the end of days, Daniel Chapter 7:1-8; Matthew 24:15; Revelation 13; Revelation 17:15. This will be the time of the greatest falling away from truth as this last antichrist, through lying signs and wonders will promise peace and safety and then sudden destruction comes upon them who bow down and takes the mark of this beast, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6.

Jesus said those who will endure in the faith of Christ unto the end the same shall be saved, Matthew 24:13. Satan said, I will ascend into heaven; I will exalt my throne above the stars of God (other ruling powers) I will sit also upon the Mount of the Congregation in the sides of the north (Jerusalem). I will ascend above the clouds, I will be like the Most High, Isaiah 14:12-15. The last antichrist, (as there have been many and even now are in the world), is the son of perdition being the false prophet that Satan works through as he will sit on the sides of the North declaring himself as being God and will cause many to bow down to him and take his mark as many will believe the lying signs and wonders he will show, Rev 13. Again, nowhere in scripture does it capitalize antichrist, but mans misinterpretations capitalize it and makes it one Antichrist that we are to watch for before Christ returns.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
 
John said even now there are many anti Christs.

Many try set a name to the last antichrist just like they try to set dates for Christ return. Do not let man deceive you in who it will be. If you study scripture you will know antichrist being the son of perdition when he takes his seat in Jerusalem claiming he is God, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12.

Politics is banned on CF as it brings out the worst in people. You have done no wrong here as no one is talking about politics, but only showing a pic of who he thinks is the last antichrist, but yet out in left field.
 
The church throughout Revelations.

John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

The Church, which represents the bride of Christ, will face seeing much tribulation as it will be hard to bare seeing Gods wrath poured out on the unjust as those who are anointed by God's Holy Spirit are sent out to preach to them before we enter into the kingdom of God (New Jerusalem). There are many false teachings that teach we are taken out of here before some seven year Great Tribulation, but there is no scripture that speaks of a seven year Great Tribulation, but only 3 1/2 years. Some also teach that after Rev Chapter 4 the Church is no longer here on earth. If this were the case then why did Jesus say that those who endure until the end will be saved. The end of what, the end of days or as scripture calls it that great and terrible day of the Lord when final judgment will be passed as the Sheep are separated from the goats and the goats are cast into the lake of fire with Satan, the beast and false prophets.

By studying all the scriptures below in Revelations I come to the conclusion we will see much tribulation, but not to fear what must come, but stand strong in the faith of Christ Jesus so we can endure until the coming of the Lord as God has a place prepared for us in the wilderness as His wrath passes over the earth, Rev 12:6. We need to be His witnesses as a faithful servant until He returns. God's wrath is not for the elect of God as they are kept from it falling on them and when we see the abomination that causes desolation, Daniel Chater 7; Matthew 24:15-22; Rev Chapter 13, we are to flee from taking its mark as we stand in a greater faith in Christ that we need not fear that which has to come first before Christ returns, Matthew 10:28, but that we need to be prepared as His Bride when He does return on the last day and destroys the beast and false prophet at His coming, Rev 19.

Act 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God as we are also His disciples.

Mat 24:13,29-31 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Matthew 24:29-31; Rev 3:5; 19:8 Jesus is telling us to watch for the signs of His coming and to overcome so that our names are not blotted out of the Lamb's book of life.

Rev 5:13; 6:17; 7:1-5 On earth and under the earth are those who are still here until the end of days as God's wrath begins with the opening of the seventh seal.

Rev 6:9-11 Note where John says fellow servants and brethren that should be killed as they were, which means those of the elect of God who refuse to take the mark of the beast and will die a martyr's death for their faith in Christ.

Rev 7:13-17 Which came out of great tribulation is the fullness of the Gentiles who also died a martyr's death for the sake of Christ.

Rev 8:13 Three woes are that of warning the people on earth that the last three trumpets are about to sound.

Rev 13:11-18 Here John is showing us about mystery Babylon ruling the world as a one world government. 666 represents the number of the beast and the mark is the action of the hands and thoughts of the mind as many will be deceived and accept this mark.

Rev 14:14-20 The harvest of Gods Children who are still alive at this time as they are being protected against the vial judgments that will fall on those who have rejected Christ.

Rev 16:11,15 And they repented not. The elect of God are told to watch for the return of Christ as He comes like a theif and we are to keep our garments clean and not found in shame

Rev 18:23, 24 We have now come out of great tribulation through the persecution of the revived Roman Empire and Christ is about to return for His Bride

Rev 19:7,8 We being the Bride of Christ have now made ourselves ready for His coming as those who are still alive at this time and asleep in the grave have endured until the last day when Christ returns and destroys the beast and false prophet and sends His angels out to gather the Bride up to meet Jesus in the air.

Rev 20:4-6 These verses show that we went through much annihilation and endured until the end being the last day when Christ returns.

Rev 20:12-15 The Great White Throne judgment and Jesus judgment for the works we did or did not do for him here on earth
