ACenturyOfFailure

[Hitch]

Yet we have the blessed assurance that every passing day brings our salvation nearer then when we believed. And while it is true that the church, during all her history, has had repeated evidence that the day was approaching, we ask, what are these evidences in our time? Surely they are of especial significance.






Shortly previous to the first coming of Christ the Holy Ghost, although He had given through Daniel a special revelation unto the devout Simeon-who was 'waiting for the consolation of Israel', to-wit:' that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. Luke 2;26. And this leads us to ask: May not the same blessed Spirit who thus revealed this mighty event to Simeon of old (and probably the aged Anna also) likewise give unto a favored one, or chosen few of the faithful watching ones, to know that their glad eyes shall see His appearing, and that they shall never taste of death. Even so now, many of the most devout and faithful of God's people, in all denominations, both in this and foreign lands, are seriously impressed with the conviction, that the coming of the Lord is near.

W.E. Blackstone, Jesus Is Coming ,1908 pgs 210,212,213. Emphasis added , portions of this article were first published @1875.

How many times have you been told that if you would just listen to the Holy Spirit ,you too ,would be able to see the 'signs of the times'.? Something else that hasnt chaged in a century is the intonation that real christians, 'the most devout and faithful', know with certainty the time is near. You dont think its near because you're not faithful and devout,,,

Well ,at least, thanks to Mr Blackstone we know with certainty that the people he considered to be the most devout and faithful of all demoniations completlely failed in their predictions.

Take care

Bear in mind the Blackstone quote was chosen because of its age and the authors longterm standing in DF circles, not because of the rarity of his position.

Ive seen signs of the times.
Most notably is the appearing of the beast and watching as people from all parts of the world follow after it.

I sinificant sign concerning the beast happened just a few years after my birth in 1967.
Do you know what happened in 1967 Hitch?

Yeah Hal Lindsey started thinking about how to add 20 years to his predictions.

Your making jokes .Im serious.
This is the verse that was forfilled in 1967.

Daniel 7;24
And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise;and another shall rise after them;and he shall be diverse from the first,and he shall subdue three kings.

This little horn that dwells in the pleasant land-Dan 8;9
Who look is more stout than his fellows-Dan 7;20
Who is different than those around him-Dan 7;24

Defeated those three kings mentioned in Daniel 7;24 in only 6 days.
Ther little horn who dwells in the pleasant land,who look is more stout that his fellows and is different than those around him is the nation state of Israel.The three kings it subdued was Egypt,Syria and Jordan.

There are alot of things written about the beast that has been coming true in this century.
Yes there have been many so called christian teachers who have failed in thier predictions but the word of God has been quite accurate.
