WHAT IS SOON TO COME TO PASS IN THIS WORLD - BIBLE PROPHECY
- Thread starter iLOVE
- Start date
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
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.

Ok. Here is my rebuttal . . . Now I am done and will move on. I am going to stay away from responding to controversial posts at the suggestion of my mentor Jeff.
People have been naming antichrist for many, many years, but yet it is not going to be any President, nor any political leader. One has to study mystery Babylon and the mother of harlots to understand who antichrist is who is the son of perdition.
This is very interested. I always assumed Hitler was one of the anti-Christs and he was political. I read this somewhere. Is it true:
Demons have the following characteristics.
Know ancient languages
Be frightened of the cross
Can read your mind
I have often imagined that a sign of evil is that a demonic person can mesmerize others like Hitler did. So where does Hitler fit in. Psychologically I know he was a narcissistic like other leaders, but they are also evil.

Demons tremble at the name of Jesus. Demons can not read your mind as only God and Jesus knows the thoughts of our mind, Psalms 139; Jeremiah 12:3; Matthew 9:4; 12:25; Luke 9:47; 11:17.
Angels are essentially “ministering spirits,” (Hebrews 1:14) and do not have physical bodies like humans. Jesus declared that “a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have” (Luke 24:37-39). Only God can incarnate them for the purpose of His ministry here on earth, Genesis 18:2-8.
The Bible classifies some angels as “elect” (1 Timothy 5:21) or “holy” (Matthew 25:31; Mark 8:38). All angels were created to be holy, enjoying the presence of God (Matthew 18:10) and the beauty of heaven (Mark 13:32). But, the angel we call Satan who has been given many names rebelled against God as he became prideful and wanted everything that was God's as he wanted to be God , Ezekiel 28:13-17. Within his rebellion he also took a third of the angels who followed after Him and cast them down to the earth, Rev 12:3, 4. These angels oppose God under the leadership of Satan as being his messengers here on earth as they too are created spirits of God that is why God could never destroy any of them because a spirit can not die. (Matthew 25:41; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1: 6; Ephesians 6:12). We often call these types of angels demons/devils/evil spirits/unclean spirits for which an everlasting fire is prepared by God for Satan and these angels, Matthew 25:41.
The term demon comes from the Greek "daimon". Demons are also called evil spirits, unclean spirits and devils in scripture as they are disembodied spirits as angels have no form. The use of the terminology of demons, evil spirits, unclean spirits and devils are interchangeable in scripture as they all mean the same thing. They exist in a demonic realm as principalities, Romans 8:38, 39; Ephesians 6:12, and have a hierarchy of rulership controlled by Satan as being his messengers, Matthew 12:22-30; Mark 3:22; Luke 4:35. They have no physical form, but can viciously posses a body, Matthew 8:16-31; 12:43-45. Demons are numerous in numbering and can also speak like the Legion (2000) of unclean spirits in Mark 5:9.
Strong's Concordance: Demon
Part of speech: noun masculine
Transliteration: daimon
Definition: a demon
Usage: evil spirit, demon
Did you also know that Hitler was a Catholic and went to mass? Look at the verse I made bold and underlined. Do you really believed Hitler was God's own? No, he was one of many antichrist, but yet not the son of perdition.
1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
Thank you for all this information. It's fascinating. What I know about evil came from Scott Peck's book The People Of the Lie. I read it before I was a Christian. He said the psychological definition of evil was malignant narcissism. A narcissist is not just vanity it is someone who has no compassion for others. They tell lies. He gave the example a mother and father whose son committed suicide with a rifle. The next Christmas thr parents gave that rifle to his brother. That happened in my family. My brother was killed by a car in the driveway of my grandparents house and they gave the car to my dad.
In Time magazine they said there is a fine line between evil and mental illness. But everybody seems to believe not all mental illness is evil and not all evil is mental illness. Scott Peck said he couldn't talk about it but he went to an exorcism and he does believe in demons. I'm learning a lot about this. I sometimes feel a negative feeling akin to being haunted by the devil. I don't know if that's my imagination. It started when I got close to God. I like the movie The War Room. It says to tell Satan to get out of our life j

"Why would you doubt this, especially when given a final oportunity to witness Christ to that of your executioner that just might have a change of heart."
This actually happened to me. I wrote about it in Susanna's Corner. It was entitled the Remorseful Robber. I was in my car when I got mugged. I ran after the man after the man in my bare feet. I gave up and went home anf fell asleep. The next day when I woke up I prayed for this man. This is how I was trying to release my anger.
Suddenly the phone rang. For some reason I knew it was the robber. I said hello, thank you for calling , how can I help you?. He said he was feeling a lot of remorse and wanted to return my purse. I said great drop it off on the porch. He said if I do that someone might steal it. So I said knock on the door and I'll wait five minutes and retrieve it. Then I talked to him about why he is stealing my purse. He said he was a drug addict. So I gave him a lecture on recovery and said goodbye. I also talked to him about God. Today I still pray for this man.

It is always best to search out the scriptures for that of what you want to learn. I will leave you with this as we are getting off of topic.
Mark 5:1-20 is the definitive passage on demon possession and its effects in the Bible. Some of the details about demons the Bible reveals in this passage are:
1. Devils want to be near dead human bodies or tombs (vs. 2, 3, 5).
2. They can cause unusual strength (vs. 3-4).
3. They can make a person unreasonable or immune to sensible persuasion (vs. 4).
4. They cause excessive crying (vs. 5).
5. They cause sadistic and masochistic behavior (vs. 5).
6. They have an affinity for heights (vs. 5).
7. They recognize Christ as "the Son of God" and appeal to Him (vs. 6-7).
8. They know they deserve torment and dread it (vs. 6-7).
9. They have names (vs. 9).
10. More than one can possess the same body (vs. 9).
11. They desire to stay in the same geographical region or "country" (vs. 10).
12. They would rather indwell an animal body than none at all (vs. 12).
13. They can cause animals to kill themselves (vs. 13).
14. They desire to be in a body when it dies (vs. 13).
15. They have a desire for water (vs. 13).
Mark 9:17-29 gives us even more details about devils:
16. They can cause dumbness and deafness (vs. 17, 25).
17. They cause rabid animal like behavior (vs. 18).
18. They can indwell from childhood (vs. 21).
19. They cause suicidal behavior (vs. 22).
20. They resist leaving a body and violently "rent" it while leaving (vs. 26).
21. There are different kinds of devils. Some have more power than others (vs. 29).
22. Some can only be removed by prayer and fasting of believer (vs. 29).
Ephesians 6:12 states Satan has a hierarchy of "devils" in his kingdom, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Thus some devils have more power and authority than others.
In Daniel 10:13 (as well as Mark 9:29) there is an example of this. "The prince of the kingdom of Persia" withstood the angel sent to explain Daniel's vision to him for 21 days. He could only break free when the angel Michael came and helped him overcome the powerful "prince." The "prince" may have been Satan, but more likely he was a very powerful devil.
Please give the name of the person you are addressing so everyone knows who you are replying to. Thank you.
Like this @ Susannah but don't leave a space, it will look like this Susannah
Crying causes one to lose their joy and become depressed and demons do not want to see God's people filled with His joy. The closer you get with God and grounded in His word the more Satan will always try to attack us as he tries to steal our faith as Satan can only work through others to try and destroy us. Greater is He (Christ Jesus) that is in me then him (Satan) who is in the world. What is soon to come to pass is what Jesus has already forewarned that would come so we can be ready for all things that must come first before Christ returns on the last day and we are gathered to Him.
John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Thank you or all this information. It's very enlightening. You really know your stuff. May I call on you for more information about the Bible. I struggled with it for a long time but I'm now ready to surrender to the truth that one finds there. With one exception I'm not going to wear a veil. LOL
Feel free to PM me anytime and ask me anything and we can discuss it in private so we do not derail the thread.
God bless you.

(Mat 6:34) Take therefore NO thought for tomorrow: for tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

(1Th 2:19YLT) for what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? are not even ye before our Lord Jesus Christ in his presence?

I guess I think we're in the night when no man can work.
It wold glorify God if we went out like Paul, but it's too late to change the executioner's mind when we're in the night when no man can work.
“As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me,” because “night is coming, when no one can work.”
But that's just my read on it.
I must think we're already closer to the end than we know.
But I can't do anything for this guy:
These are the guys I think we are waiting for, our brothers and fellow servants.
Woe to pregnant women.
And nursing mothers in those days.
Kids are still being born.
But will there be one more born that we are waiting for?
And then the dead in Christ will rise.
Then we who remain alive are changed.
And all the tribes of the earth will mourn.
Because I doubt that we're coming back for another batch.
And the tribes remaining on the earth are going to know it.
Woe to pregnant women.

"Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers:
Nor the desire of women:
The "woman" is the Church or God's People.
Think "Bride" of Christ.
So the desire of "women", is the desire of God's People, and that would be Jesus.
Nor regard any god:
for he shall magnify himself above all:
I put Trump's picture on for fun,
But it could just as easily been this one:
The God of his fathers:
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
"We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions,
Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between church and State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.
I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection and blessing of the common Father and Creator of man, and tender you for yourselves and your religious association, assurances of my high respect and esteem.
-Thomas Jefferson
President of the United States

An antichrist, as in the first century, is anyone who does not receive Christ Come in their flesh;
1Jn 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1Jn 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
(2Jn 1:7) For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
(1Jn 4:2) Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
Jesus Christ is Come in my flesh!
Rom_8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Rom_8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
(Col 1:27) To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is >>>Christ in you<<<, the hope of glory:
