I would like to find someone for a serious relationship but…

[Subhumanoidal]

I'm always intrigued how, "No one ones the day or the hour (except the Father)" -- Matthew 24:36 -- ALWAYS seems to get turned into, "God has given ME special insight into being able to predict when the day and hour/end times is going to be."

I always wonder... how close is this to the edge of soothsaying or fortune telling -- which is clearly forbidden in the Bible?

Now I surely believe in prophets and after all, God gave Noah special insight into the end of the world at the time (the flood,) but I've never ran into any modern person whose predictions were 100% accurate. In each case, things had to be twisted like a pretzel in order to meet their predictions rather than an obvious observation to anyone that their "prophecy" had come true. I personally believe that if a prophecy comes true, it will be so obvious that an unbeliever could understand it.

I was once part of a church that was heavily into prophesy and words of knowledge -- which I certainly do believe exists.

But what I also observed is that far too many people seem to become drunk on the power/high it seems to give them to have "special knowledge" from God. Everyone else was pitied because they just weren't as "advanced," "close to God," or "didn't have as much faith" as they did. I fell victim to this too when the church was encouraging me to my "own" "prophetic skills."

When I took a good hard look at the Old Testament and was reminded the the consequences for giving false prophecies was DEATH, I became much, much more reserved in ever trying to claim "God told me" something about anything.

Do I think God speaks to me? Absolutely. But now I just make sure I leave a very wide open gate for my own human error if ever trying to convey that to someone else.

Yes, many Christians are consumed with things that make them a public figure so as to showcase their spirituality or how much more special they are to God than everyone else.
I saw a post here of someone asking to be taught how to be a prophet. He then lists off the other fruits of the spirit he has already learned. He treated them like a collection to be obtained by choice rather than something God gave them. And, of course, had to throw in all the others he learned. Seemed like a trophy case of spirituality proving how many medals he's won from God. And he's going for the gold.

But the "special revelation" types are certainly most prominent and frequent. And all of them are equally confident that God picked them to be special.
Though this guy in here has taken it to the next level. "I can't prove it to you because when it happens you'll all be dead". How convenient.

 

[Subhumanoidal]

This guy is either a talented troll or looking to form a cult.

1 he came to a singles section (people who may more easily be swayed, supposedly)
2 he posted a typical singles type thread to draw people in
3 using that he subtly introduced a special revelation from God
4 leaned heavily into end times 'they're coming for you' ideas
5 believes most won't believe him
6 tries to draw more in by teasing what he knows about the future to prove himself
7 openly refuses to go into detail publicly and only willing to share with people that he thinks will believe him
8 despite claims that he's not here to convince anyone, he nonetheless continues to feed into the drama

I mean come on. This screams cult leader wannabe. And with the heavy emphasis on Christian suffering makes for a perfect basis for things like we've seen in Waco or Jim Jones.
I'm not saying it will go that far, just that the tactics and beliefs used are similar to the OPs.
I mean how many people want to be a part of a special revelation that only a few will ever get to hear and understand? You, too, must be special to follow that. And who better to lead than the man that taught it to you. For he must be the most special of us all to have received it.
A cult leader wannabe with no charisma to be convincing.

Canada, perhaps?

The Philippines seems nice.

The Philippines is having some scandals in the government with corrupt politicians and China going on right now. It's a mess. My parents are outraged, but they can't take their eyes of the train wrecks and are having a hay day gossiping about all of it, lol!

[TabinRivCA]

Lol was it His people were removed from the calamity or was the calamity removed from His people? There is a difference.

The belief is the "rapture" takes place first and removes His people and yet that has never happened, the wicked were removed aka "raptured" but His people remained.

Go look at Jesus's words again the wicked are removed first (the tares) are uprooted first and burned then the wheat are then brought in His barn.

So I wouldn't want to be part of the "rapture" thank you.

Let's look as well at the Lord Jesus's prayer thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.

It is clear and from Revelation that He is coming to set His kingdom on earth. For His dwelling place it to be with His people. That is what He wants.

You are referring to the state of rothchilds here... It is by their hand it came into being via the Balfour Declaration in case you didn't know?...

I see that much of the Bible has transcendental fulfillment, meaning it happens more than once and already did...

There is no real proof that the Revelations 3:10 is pertaining to the "rapture" that is just an association many have been taught based on Margaret McDonald visions and as said she was discredited at the time by those Christians who associated her visions being from the devil.

Then there is the book of Daniel where it states we will go through the tribulation period...

However I understand I once believed all this myself but no longer... So feel free to keep hoping for the "rapture" if you so wish. I myself will prepare and do what I can to survive through the tribulation period.

You're right you may be going through the Trib, since you think the Trib's for believers. Ya, for sure you better get some skills on if you wanna survive and dodge the anti-Christ. That's your right. And I'm not 'hoping' for the Rapture, I'm ready for it more and more every day.

Lol trying to form a cult? A cult wannabe leader lol and what charisma? Lol I don't claim to have any. (just as said) 🤣🤣🤣

No I don't want to draw any away from here. Also remember it was not my intention to go into this subject matter on this thread. I did to explain myself for I was asked why…

Also kindly all pay attention this is NOT MY SPECIAL REVELATION I only know about it due to a family member making me aware of this particular subject matter in 2020 then in 2022 I had my OWN REALISATION that tied into what I had learned and continued to learn.

Why don't I publicly disclose what I am referring to because it is due sensitivities I suspect here.

Then there is also the reality that even if I disclose it all it won't be believed anyway. ALL I am IS JUST A WITNESS nothing more that's it. A witness sharing in a very limited fashion whilst dodging the particular sensitivities that I would find here.

I wish to try and return this post / thread to it's original purpose.

If any here want to continue this discourse let us do so on my other post / thread about WW3.

Thank you all.

Hi Valour-Dare, welcome to the forums!

I get being troubled by the times we live in. Yes, I do expect a coming storm. Do I think it will be the final "storm" before Jesus comes back? Who knows...... those who saw WW1 & WW2 coming may have felt the same way, yet here we are.

We are called to keep our lamps trimmed and full of oil, but that doesn't mean we cease to live. Has God told you not to date or marry? If not then perhaps it's an option for you. Submit yourself to His will, but don't talk yourself out of a blessing..... doing so can actually be a type of false morality. Not judging though, I'm prone to it myself!

As a teenager, I heard a lot about the end times. Always thinking the world was about to end kinda left me feeling like anything I did was a waste of time. Eventually I learned to seek His guidance for whatever He wanted me to do or decide THAT DAY. I found a lot of peace in that, and I hope you will too. God still has a plan for you, even if it all ends next week .

P.S. Even the wise virgins with plenty of oil were allowed to sleep...... don't get yourself so wound up in discerning the times that you're unable to rest or accomplish whatever God has for you!

"live every day like it's your last. and who wants to do laudraury on the last day of their life?"

 

[Valour-dare]

You're right you may be going through the Trib, since you think the Trib's for believers. Ya, for sure you better get some skills on if you wanna survive and dodge the anti-Christ. That's your right. And I'm not 'hoping' for the Rapture, I'm ready for it more and more every day.

Lol we shall see… and you be ready for it then. Please feel free. Each must do what they believe. I'm not here to tell anyone what they must believe.

I used to give credence to "the rapture" but that is before I had my personal realisation in 2022.

 

[enril]

Boy, if I had a nickel for every time I've seen somebody predict the end of the world...

lol seriously.

The post / thread is called - Has WW3 already begun and people just don't know…

Over there (on here) we can continue this discourse. I am going to try and steer this particular post / thread back to it's original subject matter I do not know if I will succeed but I will try nevertheless. 😅

Thank you to everyone who contributed and especially for those who could see my original purpose. 🙂

 

[Valour-dare]

I think to find a relationship and to withstand the current pressures largely is on an individual basis and what she values… however the reality is which is what I was referring to - one needs to have money in order to provide as the man. That is currently my problem as I am looking for work online.

Let's be honest how many women want to struggle with food and be very limited in what they can experience because of financial limitations?

I will give the answer (which you more than likely won't believe) on the the other post / thread.

As said I am trying to keep this one as much possible on topic.

Or discuss pancakes in here. Somehow that gets an ok. But calling out your words and behavior is not. Huh. Maybe subject changes aren't really the problem after all.
Subject changes are the Norm here. I mean you started this thread about being single and finding someone. Now the thread has totally changed topics. You've already changed the topic of this thread. Plus, the aforementioned pancakes. That's twice. It's actually surprising that your thread has lasted this long. And trying to dictate to others what can and should be discussed here, or leave, well, you're not the first to try that. But so far it hasn't worked for anyone else. All threads derail or die. Or both.

When God sends a message, unless it is intended as personal, doesn't He prefer people share it, and let those people decide for themselves? Isn't that part of the Great Commision? Go tell everyone? Not go tell those who Seem receptive?
But this message you claim, God has granted you to use your own personal judgment as to who gets to hear it?
Imagine if God said that about the Gospel.
Ok. Your turn. Tell me how wrong I am by doing nothing more than repeating things you've repeated over and over to anyone else that questioned you.

PS I very clearly stated that you had no charisma.

 

[Lynx]

As said I am trying to keep this one as much possible on topic.

I call bull.

Thank you for your perspective though if you knew what I know. You would understand why I say what I say... Great Depression. I believe what is coming will easily dwarf that.

Hmm let's look at see how relationships fared in 2020 and the lockdowns... I believe many didn't. The pressure of what is coming will be far worse.

Then as I said you have to have financial stability to have a relationship and I don't. Not since 2020 so... just that normal factor without what I am alluding to is enough...

YOU started driving this thread in the direction of your gloom and doom predictions. When people questioned the particulars you fobbed them off.

And you claim you are trying to keep this thread on topic? Bull. DEEP bull.

You have to put this in God's hands. If He wants you to meet and marry the person He has in mind for you, He will make it happen. I also just would not worry about your financial situation. Give that to God as well.

If it will help you to have hope, you should try reading about all the true romance and marriages that occurred during hard times. Since you're expecting WW3, then read about such accounts during WW2. Here's two off the top of my head:

1. The Tatooist of Auschwitz: A Novel (based on a true story) by Heather Morris

Blurb:
#1 New York Times Bestseller and #1 International Bestseller • Now a Peacock Original Series starring Harvey Keitel and Melanie Lynskey

This beautiful, illuminating tale of hope and courage is based on interviews that were conducted with Holocaust survivor and Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov—an unforgettable love story in the midst of atrocity.

“The Tattooist of Auschwitz is an extraordinary document, a story about the extremes of human behavior existing side by side: calculated brutality alongside impulsive and selfless acts of love. I find it hard to imagine anyone who would not be drawn in, confronted and moved. I would recommend it unreservedly to anyone, whether they’d read a hundred Holocaust stories or none.”—Graeme Simsion, internationally-bestselling author of The Rosie Project

In April 1942, Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew, is forcibly transported to the concentration camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau. When his captors discover that he speaks several languages, he is put to work as a Tätowierer (the German word for tattooist), tasked with permanently marking his fellow prisoners.

Imprisoned for over two and a half years, Lale witnesses horrific atrocities and barbarism—but also incredible acts of bravery and compassion. Risking his own life, he uses his privileged position to exchange jewels and money from murdered Jews for food to keep his fellow prisoners alive.

One day in July 1942, Lale, prisoner 32407, comforts a trembling young woman waiting in line to have the number 34902 tattooed onto her arm. Her name is Gita, and in that first encounter, Lale vows to somehow survive the camp and marry her.

A vivid, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful re-creation of Lale Sokolov's experiences as the man who tattooed the arms of thousands of prisoners with what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust, The Tattooist of Auschwitz is also a testament to the endurance of love and humanity under the darkest possible conditions.


2. The Note Through the Wire: The Incredible True Story of a Prisoner of War and a Resistance Heroine by Doug Gold

Blurb:
Praised as an “unforgettable love story” by Heather Morris, New York Times bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, this is the real-life, unlikely romance between a resistance fighter and prisoner of war set in World War II Europe.

In this true love story that defies all odds, Josefine Lobnik, a Yugoslav partisan heroine, and Bruce Murray, a New Zealand soldier, discover love in the midst of a brutal war.

In the heart of Nazi-occupied Europe, two people meet fleetingly in a chance encounter. One an underground resistance fighter, a bold young woman determined to vanquish the enemy occupiers; the other a prisoner of war, a man longing to escape the confines of the camp so he can battle again. A crumpled note passes between these two strangers, slipped through the wire of the compound, and sets them on a course that will change their lives forever.

Woven through their tales of great bravery, daring escapes, betrayal, torture, and retaliation is their remarkable love story that survived against all odds. This is an extraordinary account of two ordinary people who found love during the unimaginable hardships of Hitler’s barbaric regime as told by their son-in-law Doug Gold, who decided to tell their story from the moment he heard about their remarkable tale of bravery, resilience, and resistance.

----

So these are just two accounts set in very harsh conditions and yet these people were still able to find true and lasting love.

You must also submit to God and let Him make changes in you and make you Christlike and HUMBLE. God WILL NOT entrust and give to you one of His godly daughters if you're not fully submitted to Him.

Lol since I agreed with you about no Charisma. I certainly don't understand why you keep reiterating it?

Am I so much of a "threat" lol… pretty amazing lol.

I am a nobody lol even so I do not care what you or others think. I have my reason and that is largely to avoid sensitivities that I suspect are on here.

It has been my observation that He, Almighty God does not disclose with everyone specific things... This what I am alluding to... remember I only shared it on this thread as I was asked why...

i am thinking of sharing something but we will see... If you don't like you are free not to correspond... It is as simple as that. In truth I do not need to give an account to you or anyone here.

My particular circumstances, life and what I will go through has in truth nothing to do with anyone currently.

So we will see.

Oh don't worry about that. Nobody believes you are a threat. You can relax on that point.

 

[Karlon]

I do not think with what is going on… now is the right time…

Then there is the question if you found someone could you sustain the relationship especially in such trying and difficult times and then particularly if it is a long distance one.

get Jesus on the job, He never fails. ask the Holy Spirit to tell you what to do.

Ok. There's the repeating, as predicted.

Ignoring the parts you can't get around by repeating yourself.

And nothing to do with anyone currently? You said we'd all be dead when it was all over.

Well when you post in a PUBLIC forum that leaves it open to ANYONE to respond as they see fit. I am not breaking any site rules by calling you out on contradictions, presenting your words and behavior more clearly or questioning your heresy.
Just like everyone else in the thread I am exercising my rights to question your claims. Simply stating that "God told me" does not free you from scrutiny nor make you infallible.
People only asked because You first alluded to it. No one would have known to ask had it not been your words first leading them to ask.

"(as things unfold that is only going to lessen.)"

At this point no one has questioned or commented on anything related to a future, unknown trial. Yet here you are hinting at it over and over and even pointing out that you are alluding to something else. Pointing it out to draw attention to it. But your excuse it by saying you only said because you were asked. Here's 6 statements of your about it, where no one asked.
To hint and tease at something over and over then pretending you only answered because they asked is dishonest. You kept bringing it up Because you wanted someone to ask. Otherwise you'd have not even hinted or alluded to it at all.
