Wars and rumors of war.

So what's been fulfilled and what's left to come?

What's your take?
Where are we on the timeline?

The best thing I have to offer you at the moment:

http://mywebsite.us/BibleStudy/Order_Of_Events.html (Where we are: 'Great Tribulation')
http://mywebsite.us/BibleStudy/Time_Line.html (Where we are: 'past - present - future')

Gary, any time someone teaches pre-tribulation rapture, I immediately stop listening to what they say, regarding their thoughts on Bible Prophecy.

Russia hits Ukraine's energy and is Ukraine worried about U.S. aid being cut off, after a Trump victory?

IMO--in the first year of Trump's reign we will enter WW3 A.K.A. Tribulation. He might mean well but can't stop what is coming on the world. Brig. General Jack Keane said it best--we are in a pre-war moment

It won't be any of his doing though. All those countries across the pond are always fighting each other. *Sigh*

I hope Pres. Trump WON'T jump in right away to help. Pres. Roosevelt didn't in WW2 until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.

"Update(1120ET): Merely a year ago or less, Ukrainian officials and Kiev's staunchest supporters essentially considered it 'treason' to even broach the possibility of peace talks with Russia. President Zelensky himself had frequently made it clear that he would not consider it so long as Putin is in power.

But on Friday, Zelensky issued some remarks which constitute a glaring 180-degree reversal, in the wake of Trump's election victory, on the prospect of peace in Ukraine. Zelensky stated that under the Trump administration "the war will end faster". He laid out the following in a fresh interview, according to a regional source:

"It is very important for us to have a just peace, so that we do not feel that we have lost our best because of the injustice that has been imposed on you. The war will end, but there is no exact date. Certainly, with the policies of this team that will now lead the White House, the war will end sooner. This is their approach, their promise to their society, and it is also very important to them," he said."​

Russia starts making nuclear-resistant mobile bomb shelters

"MOSCOW, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Russia has begun serial production of mobile bomb shelters that can protect against a variety of threats including shockwaves and radiation from a nuclear blast.

The emergency ministry's research institute said the "KUB-M" shelter could offer protection for 48 hours against these and other natural and man-made hazards.

Among those it listed were: explosions and shrapnel from conventional weapons; falling debris from buildings; dangerous chemicals and fires."

NATO’s Rutte Meets Trump in Florida Amid Fears Over Ukraine Aid
By Kevin Whitelaw

November 23, 2024 at 5:59AM EST
(Bloomberg) -- NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte met President-elect Donald Trump in Florida as Europe waits apprehensively to see how the next administration will approach the war in Ukraine.

"Listen to the Here’s Why podcast on Apple, Spotify or anywhere you listen.

The military alliance issued a three-sentence readout of the Friday meeting in Palm Beach, saying that the pair discussed “the range of global security issues.”

Rutte has a reputation for being able to work with Trump from his time as prime minister of the Netherlands. In the weeks leading up to the US election, Rutte was careful to praise Trump’s record in his first term.

On Oct. 1, his first day heading NATO, Rutte commended Trump for pressing the alliance on defense spending and to focus more on China. “I think he was right,” Rutte said."

Former CIA Analyst says, Russia's Hyper Sonic Missile is as strong as a nuke, without the dirty radiation. This might of been Putin's final warning, before it escalates into other countries. Warning to NATO...

The generation that shall not pass away until all is fulfilled was planted in 1948 when Israel once again became a self governing nation. That generation is now 77 yrs old.

Gary, any time someone teaches pre-tribulation rapture, I immediately stop listening to what they say, regarding their thoughts on Bible Prophecy.

I have a similar approach - but, while trying to be kind and reasonable in a discussion.

It is true that - if someone believes in pre-tribulation rapture - I consider their eschatology not worth paying any serious attention to - because, I know it to be in error; however, it is sometimes helpful to listen to what they have to say just for the sake of better understanding their own personal particular point-of-view - which, interestingly, seems to be [at least a little bit] different from person to person to person - and, I still sometimes look at their graphic illustrations - just to see the variations...

Gary, if you say, so.

We can agree on the pretribulator rapture as an error.

good thing or bad thing??

Good question. Another question: who is arming, training, and funding them?

 

[shittim]

scripture indicates the ac will be from Pergamon which is in Turkey

Damascus is Russia's headquarters in the MidEast. This war is about the reserve currency and the only way Russia replaces the US is if they can be the new policeman in the Mideast. So in that sense it is huge.

The Islamists are backed by Turkey, and of course Iran and Russia are involved as well. Those three nations are the key players in Ezekiel 38 war.

It is very likely with the situation in Ukraine Russia doesn't want to be dragged into this right now, but that is how it is described in Ezekiel 38, a hook in the Jaw drags Russia into the fight.

Ukraine is also essential because it is an important part of the Gog kingdom, so it must be returned to Russia prior to the Ezekiel 38 war.

Methuselah died seven days before the flood and I expect Damascus becoming a ruinous heap will be our version of the Days of Noah seven years before Armageddon.

I think this shows that unless Russia goes nuclear they will lose. Their economy is starting to falter, and they can't withstand the pressure from the US and European union.

There was no "prophecy" on my part in that post. It was simply exegesis.

Peter and Andrew were both called while casting out nets for fishing. It seems they were sent out together when the Lord sent them out two by two, at least Peter and Andrew were mentioned as a team. I see this as indicating they were more of an evangelistic mindset (whereas James and John were called while in the boat and so the sons of thunder may have had a more -- preaching from the pulpit mindset).

Andrew is the one who asked the Lord when will these things be and what will be the sign of His coming.

Peter is the one who peppered his gospel and epistles with references to prophecies being fulfilled.

God tells us in the Old testament that He alone can tell the end from the beginning. Prophecies that have been fulfilled, that are being fulfilled and that are yet to be fulfilled are the bread and butter of evangelism. This is what unbelievers need to hear so they can know that God is God and there is no other.

Why has organized religion lost so much impact with the world and why are so many churches half empty? Oh and also why is it that they refuse to discuss the prophecies in the Bible even though they make up 25-33% of the scripture (pattern is prophecy, and if you take that approach you can easily consider 33% of the scripture to be prophetic).

Have you ever been to a church service where they ask if anyone is there for the first time? I have been to many like that and I would see anywhere from 0 people to as many as 6-8 people. My blog "summary of Bible references on the rapture" gets 2,000 new visitors each week.

So no, I reject anyone who advises me to ignore the Bible, or 33% of the Bible, or 25% of the Bible or whatever.

I realize I get mocked and ridiculed by some for that, but the curse causeless will not alight. I simply pray that the Lord's word would be fulfilled, that with what judgment they judge they shall be judged and with what measure they measure it will be measured to them.
