but we do know this:No, I pointed out that verse because I'm not saying it will happen on a certain date. I don't know God's timing, has nothing to do with a bet. It's an assurance of knowing that His return is close. It could be tomorrow, IDK, I'm not God. But according to Scripture 1948 is the beginning of the end. The verse is related, only God knows the time and He doesn't measure it as we do.
Why would it matter to people who are evangelizing or being evangelized? Such complex matters should be taught well after teaching the basics of the faith, which unfortunately is severely lacking in most churches today.No, it may not matter to you, but it sure matters to people we're evangelizing to and reaching the world for Christ. You've been on the road however many years, that's fine, you can have that view.

but we do know this:
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 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; 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, shewing himself that he is God.
- 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 (KJV)
Jesus Christ will not return until after “that man of sin“ (Satan) shows up claiming to be God.
Esau and Jacob represented two people, edomites and israelites. nothing to do with america once again. ive read the entire bible, not a word about the united states.You might obtain a little more understanding if you study a little bit more. Read the little book of Obadiah. Read about Esau and Jacob. What are the two nations that they represent? Do you know that God hates communism and socialism? Stop thinking about individual people and more about Godless systems and nations. Get some knowledge under your belt; perhaps then we can have a worthwhile discussion.
I think so tooGog and Magog forming right before our eyes. Such interesting times we've living in.
…betrayed (deceived) the world.Oh no question, Christ will not return until after the Anti-Christ has shown his power and betrayed the Jewish people.
…betrayed (deceived) the world.
You have any idea where the lost tribes went?Esau and Jacob represented two people, edomites and israelites. nothing to do with america once again. ive read the entire bible, not a word about the united states.
God is all for private property from old and new testament that i agree with. communism does suck. i know a lot of people who lived under communism.
I agree.
The issue is that you said that America is not mentioned in the Bible as having anything to do with the end-times, and that is not true. In reality, America is one of the biggest end-times nations mentioned in the Bible.Hey Seeking, how about we discuss before we throw out a red x? What's the issue?

A red x is merely a red x. If you get three in a row, then tic tac toe...lol.
read my post aboveLol I overused the red x last time round, this time I'm proud of myself, I haven't used one yet. Ok, so I missed something, can you fill me in where in the Bible America is mentioned?
I suppose it is unavoidable that various faith communities have a certain degree of influence in the way of reaching my views. I listen to the chatter, consider the offerings, and either take them, leave them, or store them away in case of a significant need to revisit them.What about my first question?
american delusions on display. america really is one of the most wicked nations on this earth. trust me, God will not be fighting for the united states.
you name the wickedness, it comes from usa. they have polluted the entire globe with the trannymania, hellish music industry, p0rn, hollywood movies, garbage theology and junk food. it is everywhere. every single country has been polluted by it. destroyed the youth world over.
but im sure God will fight these end time battles for ya.
America is the "another beast", with a beast being representative of a kingdom, which is mentioned in the book of Revelation. It would take some time and effort on my part to prove my assertion, which I do not have at this precise moment, but that is the short answer to your question. Sorry about the red x, but that is how we show that we disagree. Did you feel like you were getting buzzed by Simon Cowell on AGT? lol.Lol I overused the red x last time round, this time I'm proud of myself, I haven't used one yet. Ok, so I missed something, can you fill me in where in the Bible America is mentioned?
