    God`s Appointed Time for the Rapture.

    Hi cv5, Although we agree on much, as to this point `bride,` I believe God`s word says it is Israel. Oh, and reading your comment again more slowly I realize that you think we are the bride and Israel is the wife. Well, we are halfway there.

    God`s Appointed Time for the Rapture.

    I agree Jimbone, Huh, you may say. Well, God`s word is mainly about Israel and God`s festivals for them. They (festivals) are God`s timeline for Israel. Each will be fulfilled by the Lord. The Body of Christ, however, is a parathesis, between God`s dealings with Israel and the nations. It is...

    How can we get closer to God?

    Hi jacko, A very good desire. Ask the Lord to show you a step at a time things that are blocking your closer walk with the Lord. When something is highlighted, repent, ask for forgiveness and thank the Lord that more of self is coming away. This is the journey till we go to be with Him.

    God`s Appointed Time for the Rapture.

    However, Jesus the Head of the Body had MORE to say to us. You may want to think on these scriptures - `But you, brethren are NOT in darkness, so that this Day, (Day of the LORD in judgment) should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are NOT of the night...

    Church buildings

    I agree that buildings are not needed. A tree, near a lake would be nice, a car, a bus, a walk in the park etc "Where 2 or 3 are gathered together in My name there I am in the midst.` The point being that in the 2`s and 3`s there is RELATIONSHIP, there is DISCIPLESHIP. Paul to Timothy - `And...

    God`s Appointed Time for the Rapture.

    Hi DW, Although I agree with you concerning 2 Thess. you may want to check out the prophet Joel who tells us what actually starts the Day of the LORD God in judgment. `Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the Day of...

    God`s Appointed Time for the Rapture.

    Hi 2ndTime....., You may want to think on these scriptures - `But you, brethren are NOT in darkness, so that this Day, (Day of the LORD in judgment) should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are NOT of the night nor of the darkness.` (1 Thess. 5: 4 & 5)...

    God`s Appointed Time for the Rapture.

    Hi Blade, I have NOT said a date for the rapture. What I have shown is Israel`s timing by the Lord with His festivals for them. The date I wrote is for the Peace treaty. And the rapture, the catching away, is somewhat BEFORE that. Rapture. 1. War. 2.Space. 3. Peace Treaty.

    God`s Appointed Time for the Rapture.

    Hi Bruce, Thank you for your comment. Now had you thought that Jesus was speaking to the people of Israel who were/are in darkness. However, when Jesus ascended to the Father He gave the Holy Spirit to bring us into all truth of Christ, His character and His purposes. Thus, the Head of the Body...

    Struggling with interpreting love in the Bible

    In today`s world we are very emotional. We view `love` as lovely feelings. In the language of Greek, (what the New Testament was written in) they have 4 words to describe different kinds of `love.` - Friendship or sexual, or family, or giving of yourself. The last one `giving of yourself,`...

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    I thought this would encourage us all. In Christ Alone. The Lord says - `It is not the towering ability of individual men that will bring the close of this dispensation to an end, but it will be the ripening, the molding, the perfecting of a Body of People that will be peculiarly Mine...

    God`s Appointed Time for the Rapture.

    In Esther we read of the day that Israel celebrates its National Deliverance. It is the 15th of Adar. Israel celebrates that Day every year. Its fulfillment will be when the Lord delivers Israel from all its enemies after the final 7 years of Israel chastisement (of 70 x 7). I just counted...

    There WILL be a Rapture… Ready?

    Hi Lafftur, So important to be ready, watching and eagerly waiting. `...exhorting (encouraging and warning) one another and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. ` (Heb. 10: 25) I believe the maturing of the Body of Christ is nearly there and the `catching away` to glory, is on the...

    Why wasn't Adam "spoken" into existence?

    Adam & Eve were earthy and have an earthly inheritance. When Jesus was manifest as a man on earth He came to His people Israel as the bridegroom and they, His bride. They have an earthly inheritance. (Matt. 9: 15, 22: 1 - 10. 25: 1 - 13) Jesus, the Son of God, the heavenly man gives His...

    The Bible's theme in a nutshell?

    Actually, the theme is - `God...having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposes in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both of which are in heaven and which are on...

    What is the Meaning of This Parable

    Hi MM, Jesus came to confirm the promises to Israel. (Rom. 15: 8) Thus this parable concerns Jesus coming to Israel seeking to find them repentant. For 3 years of His ministry He sought fruit from Israel, but didn`t find it so that generation and succeeding generations were `cut off.`
