Summary of the Warning Signs of God - Paul Dawson
Here is the video (37 minutes):
Your daily resource for the latest information about the Great Sign of Revelation 12.
Very interesting research.ReplyDelete
Looking forward to enjoying over the weekend; thank you for keeping us in the loop on the find. Have a blessed time this weekend as well, Maranatha!ReplyDelete
Wow, that was fun! Good background video for a 90 minute Rev12 Small Group Study. Love his gentle spirit and his 'Rabbinic' elbows appropriately employed at spots. Tic Toc Tic Toc ! Maranatha!Delete
Now I'm hearing crickets. OK then, guess that means I have the binoc's and megaphone. I am recalling 2 teachings, or rather 2 sources of teachings, which opened up the Romans connection/formula, clearly given in Scripture, and as historical record, as he highlights here. For me, this is the 3rd Witness. That it comes RIGHT now is VERY 'Tell'-ing. And not just for me, no, for all who have ears to hear and eyes to see, amen.
Thinking back, I am rather astounded at how many years have passed since I was a yearling in the Lord, swimming in Answers in Genesis and everything in THAT orbit, and so much more. I must confess I have no clear source I can identify, so this is from memory. I recall Ravi Zacharias, when I was so blessed to have him minister to us at a PromiseKeepers conference on 'Becoming a Man of God's Word' I am thinking that Ravi used Romans as a counterpoint to his message that day. Remember, as well, apart from Ravi's adorable and intellectual style, this was the Eighties. Nonetheless a VERY 'Third Rail' topic, especially for those with national careers in speaking ministry.
Speaking of Tic Toc, Tic Toc, day before yesterday on 7/11, Bing celebrated the anniversary of Big Ben's musical inception in 1859, noting it's bells were silenced for long term repairs on Aug. 21, 2017 , the day of the Great American Eclipse.
H# 1859–an age—generation.
8/21-H#821–night watch—watch
H#2017–perversity, turning of things upside down.
The world's most famous clock being silenced on the same day of that Eclipse was very likely another "time truly is running out" bulletin for those who were and are watching.
The 2nd source was somewhere among the various other works in that orbit which I was also immersed n at that time. Missler's work, for example. That could very well be where I saw this issue confronted head-on. Like all the 'Great's, Chuck is a coin with 2 sides, but you know, undoubtedly, he wouldn't back away from that one. So, I think those are the 2 sources which bore Witness to me of this TRUTH and its 'relevance' in larger spheres, over the years of my growth in Jesus.
There, that is some background to share so all can be where I was in this seeing witness to what was witnessed to me. That now done, my point is two-fold. First, to affirm as likely COMPLETELY valid as a CORE marker, the 2014 SIGN, which he 'tour-guides' us through, and the 5-year Grace end-rails around it (backstop, Annabel). Therefore, second, to ENCOURAGE YOU TO REJOICE!!!! Do you SEEE!!!! HE REALLY IS AT THE DOOR !!!! MARANATHA!!!
Sheila B., this must be the day for items emerging from my mental attic. I clearly recall that 'connection' having been noted at the time in a blog or site, like Five Doves, as that was mostly where I was then. Being a 'suckling' at the time, nowhere near ready for such fine strips of seasoned meat you serve us here, yum, yum, Maranatha!Delete
Hmmm...I wish I was as deep a thinker as you and some of the others are, Jimboni, but being a salt freak, I just try add some wherever I can. I thought it was intriguing that after the waves around Big Ben when they silenced it last year, that at this moment in time, it's still bearing a silent witness on its bell ringing birthday 324 days later.
H#324–prince...(of the Persian type).
Personally, I loved Pauls video very much - especially when he mentioned the mockers of rapture "date setting" :-D It is good to be remembered of certain coherences again after we have already studied and learned so much during the last year(s) to not lose track now.
I was meanwhile contacted by the "Edifying Others" channel why I would subscribe to Paul as he was a 'stargazing prognosticating gnostic false teacher' in his opinion, trying to 'lead people into new age zodiacical satanic mind control' {quote}. I found this was a rather tough statement. I tried to explain to him about Genesis 1:14 / Job 38:31-32 / Matthew 2:2 and more but am not sure if I wouldn't better unsubscribe HIS channel now...
Anyways, these news from around Israel are giving me a new silver living for the fall season this year, perhaps you don't know about this LION & LAMB MINISTRIES JULY 13th2018 MESSIANIC UPDATE (click!) yet. Israels IDF seem to definitely prepare for war with Iran in fall. All I need to know is whether or not the whole world will be involved... The mills of God seem to grind so slowly according to my own daily impatience growing and yet the speed of events accelerates so that you can hardly keep up with them, not even recalling what happened some weeks ago. Even so, come LORD Jesus, MARANATHA!
Oh well, Annabel...Gary @unsealed was accused of date setting for stating the alignment of events that are known facts. But what's so funny is they can sure tell you when He is NOT coming...it's hard to figure out that mindset.
Sheila, that's why I had to LOL with Br Paul by mocking the mockers... Sometimes a "straight offense is best defense" as this is a saying in my country. :-DDelete
I know. I love the way Paul D. delivers the info that he is so blessed with the talent to gather for us all and to stand fast in what he sees.
I am with him totally on looking to the 9th of Av or 7/21-22 as a very high watch day for an event. It just seems that this year of all years, Israel would be likely to follow that pattern of deep mourning. I was looking at the harvest of summer fruits which began with July and reading Micah 7:1-2.
1)"WOE is me! For I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit. 2)The good man perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net." Certainly that sense of having missed the boat is expressed there with nowhere to turn but to the LORD. Like Paul D., I look at every moment as hopeful for our deliverance while at the same looking just up ahead for whatever He is wanting us to yet understand and
share with others who might be willing to hear. I feel like we've all become multi-taskers of a different sort than what the world prefers as we navigate these exciting waters:-)
I always look forward to Paul's videos because I know he is In The Word and looking for connections. The summary format of this one was exceptionally good, because as Annabel points out, things have gone at such a rapid pace and with such frequency we need a refresher occasionally. Its not merely an old saying, "Hindsight is 20/20", it's a fact and one of the primary purposes for Prophecy - to confirm the accuracy of the Word of God. Watchers attempt to see it looking forward and sometimes we are successful, but with the many, many layers God has given we so often fall short. But, it is that humming of the electricity in the track that helps us to stay "in the lane" and then because we are faithful to research and postulate about what it might be, it gives us greater insight when we look at things with hindsight. It's that double edged sword of "I wish we could go now, but the blessings of remaining to learn more I wouldn't forego." Blessings as we continue to Watch, Pray and Occupy! SherryReplyDelete
My weather channel just reported the the "remnants" of Beryl look to be reforming, but not to worry, they're moving 'away' from the U.S.ReplyDelete
If You Can Read Burma Shave Signs………
Do you remember Burma Shave signs? From the mid '20s through the early '60s, Burma Shave's popular advertising campaign posted thousands of signs along the highways in almost every state in America. For those of you that don't live in the U.S., each line of the slogan was on a separate sign and the signs were spaced far enough apart to allow the slogan to be read line-by-line as you drove by. As kids in the 60's, sometimes the Burma Shave signs were the highlight of any trip for the five of us! Ha! Life was so much different then!
In the early 70's there was a popular song by the Five Man Electrical Band with these lyrics: "Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs. Blocking out the scenery. Breaking my mind. Do this! Don't do that! Can't you read the signs?" If you're 50 or older, the melody may have already popped into your head and you're singing along.
Signs, if done right, are very effective in getting our attention. We are bombarded with signs that warn us, inform us, instruct us, or obstruct us.
Unless we're not paying attention.
"And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years……" (Genesis 1:14) Another word for "seasons" is "appointed times". The Lord's Feast Days are appointed times marked by the lunar calendar. The Bible is replete with scriptures about signs in the heavens. When the disciples asked Jesus for a sign of his return, He replied "……You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times?" (Matthew 16:3) Prophesied events of the end times are also "appointed times". They will not happen randomly. They will appear precisely on schedule, according to God's timetable.
Most of us on this site are paying close attention, but billions of others are not – and that includes fellow believers! All the signs indicate that we're in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs and a full count on the batter. Something's got to give. Could be just one more pitch, and it's over.
We're going home.
Please tell someone about Jesus this week!
Just Learning, love your post again! And yes, I remember well both the Burma Shave signs and the song. I think your handle may be a bit of a misnomer tho, at least on this side of heaven;-)
Thank you for the encouragement and many blessings.
p.s. if you don't mind, are you a Brother or a Sister?
...so I got me a pen and a paper, and I made up my own little sign, it says, 'Thank You, Lord, for thinkin' bout me, I'm alive and doin' fine', .... Maranatha!Delete
Just Learning, with that reference to cricket, you'd have to be a brother? lol Well done on your post, it is stimulating my mind to see (the signs all spaced out) and hear ("Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs . . ." and is so applicable to the signs we've been watching in the heavens for our Lord's appearing. That was very clever. I hope to see you here a lot more.Delete
Great comment! I remember it all and really enjoyed it! I'm betting with Fred - Brother! Blessings - SherryDelete
Yep, JL's a Brother, but hey...it coulda been a Sister...some gals like ⚾ too:-D.
(Ok, I shoulda caught that;-)
Hey just got off work I miss you all so much I pray your all safe snd in good health amenReplyDelete

Hey Jeramiah, hope you had a good week. I was thinking about Tony. Is he any better?
And on the link above re Mars and the Dragon, do you remember that title?
Thanks and blessings, dear Brother:-)
Hi Sheila - Thank you for your kind response! I've been a long-time reader of this site (and Unsealed). I still read just about every comment every day and I'm actually kinda intimidated by the vast Biblical knowledge that others demonstrate. This is a special website and the people that contribute are awesome! (I won't name names because I'd surely leave someone out!). But, boy do I love learning from all of you....seriously!
I didn't mean to mislead anyone with my 'handle', and hope I can explain. Just Learning doesn't mean I just started learning. I've been trying to learn ever since I gave my life to Jesus as a young boy. But, just as you and others on this site would probably agree, the more we learn about our Heavenly Father, the more we realize how little we actually know about Him. Inexhaustible is the only word I can think of. So, I frequent this site because (even at this old age!) I'm just here to learn - gathering information from the rest of you. I suppose I could have used "Just Gleaning" because that's what I'm doing here. I'll confess that I'm more of a 'taker' than a 'giver' in this forum. I'll try to do better. But I am eternally grateful for what I've gleaned from the rest of my Rev12daily brothers and sisters. Isn't it exciting to know that we will continue learning about Him together …. for eternity?
You know, we'll spend forever exploring the attributes of God and never scratch the surface. So regardless of how many years we spend here studying, sharing with others and in return, learning from each other, we're all "Just Learning".
I hope this explains a bit...and I hope I've been able to finally make a small positive contribution to this family of learners!
Thanks to all of you!
Thanks Sheila Tony is still in a coma thanks for the prayers, you know some call the caves mouth of the dragon snd those boys were saved from the mouth of a dragon if that makes any sense, I have been thinking about you sister Sheila I pray your well, Just learning I pray your good as well and yes we are all just learning but I lean towards we are all growing in our walk with Christ Jesus in our life as new babes in Jesus and we are all in this together and sadly everyone has different motives but we are all seeking and searching for pur blessed hope for our savior Jesus Christ amen ... I love and miss you all as we grow and learn and search for Jesus daily amenDelete
Just Learning, TY and Amen to any of us barely scratching the surface. It's easy to tell that you are a long time student of the Word, though and I'm so glad for your sharing with us.
Jeramiah, Amen to your thoughts and I am well, TY. I will continue to keep Tony in my prayers
And LJ's cousin Isaac as well. Blessings Brother!
Jimboni, yes...I haven't written a personal love letter to the Lord in far too long and I need to do that today as He's been so good to keep me in every way. TY for that very blessed reminder.
Praying for you and yours:-)
Maranatha, Brother!
JL you are absolutely correct. The longer we walk with Him, the greater awareness we have of how very little we know. It's exciting, it's thrilling and something I so look forward to - the continued learning we'll do in His presence. Don't be shy, we so love having you at our daily picnic and your "seasoning" to our meal is greatly appreciated! We each have our tiny little piece and as "Grammy" often said, we need those pickles to "fill in the cracks"! Blessings - SherryDelete
Amen JL - I am doing a lot of 'taking' at the moment, as things are super crazy (dare I say the 'worries of this life' (Mark 4:19 eeek)). Praise God he has given it all for us, and actually loves us 'taking' in the form of searching his word, precept upon precept etc and enjoying like crazy the amazing insights from our holy spirit filled brothers and sisters. Anyhooo, back to 'super crazy'.
Just Learning, amen to your posts and your lovely, gently, humble spirit. Central to Our Lord's Commissions, once we accept the Mantle, is 'Feed My Sheep (Jn 21:17).' One test of the Presence of the Holy Spirit in a ministry is its Christ-centered growth arising from the well FED sheep. Likewise, we dine here in a BYO....(blessing, insight, praise report, connection, Maranatha!) and enjoy the treat of pot luck. When someone pops in and shares of their presence also at the table it affirms a bit to know others are also fed, Maranatha.
Sheila B., it was easy, its the closing lyric of the song "Signs" and seemed right on target, Maranatha!
I didn't remember all the lyrics and thought you were just expressing your poetic side;-) Still wrote that letter, though, TY very much again.Delete
Very interesting prospective i didnt know there is a lunar eclipse 14 days before 27 bloodmoon eclipse and another lunar eclipse 14 days after the 27 bloodmoon eclipse! Link below..
In her video, she points out to a partial SOLAR eclipse on 7/27 but NOT LUNAR ("bloodmoon"). These eclipses all around now get my head spinning already... Watch #WSO# YT channel about the "Moon tilt and the Magnetosphere" or this recent video on constant "new space revelations" in the media and elsewhere
5Is Confirms We Hitting Nerves ++ Jupiter Secchi Update
We got NASA announcing sending the Parker Space Probe to the SUN just days ahead in August (so ridiculous, watch Dr Albers and Scott C'One on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKjCXt44y5Q really great laugh!) and then we have Israel hunting to the MOON next year this all goes crazy right now making you scratch your head really...
So if we assume with very high probability that "our" real sun and moon are now constantly eclipsed by the Revelation 12:3-4 red dragon system anyway then the question will be: What are we watching when we get all these "eclipses" of sun and moon announced on the calendar? Because in fact the "real" sun and moon are then NOT the objects of observance you know. Just from logic, doesn't make sense as you wouldn't see them anyway. Blessings... Maranatha!
There are some others who get it too. From Sally Law at Rapture Ready.com

Thank you Ryan I pray you have been good as I pray for all my brothers and sisters foung and the blind as well amen ! Hoe has the weather been over your way ? I hear there is alot of dust storms across the world konda like mars , also seen alot of evil treating people killing people over nothing as this world is so divided its prophetic in its own way like how that eclipse cut the usa in half and as time has ticked by people have gotten meaner it seems or evil has dug in deeper and I see these tv shows and movies especially on netflix showing lots of end times shows like The end airing friday 13th then july 27th day of the blood moon they release extinction about earth being invaded by aliens and killing mankind along with all these shows and news stations pusing the hate and evil like pre programming society or preparing everyone in ways !Delete
I have many comments on Paul's video. I will be drawing from the commentators on his sight, so as not to take any credit myself. They are as brilliant as all of you and they had some amazing insight. And I just want to agree with JL. This sight is so wonderful because of Brad and all of you. I, too, have learned so much from you.
I really do wonder how many of us there are out there really watching, really waiting, panting as a deer thirsts for water to see our Beautiful Savior. I'm thinking we will find out soon, but I don't think it's very many.
Well, here are the comments. I am looking for your thoughts as you are all way ahead of me on this journey.
Paul mentions the 9th of Av as a date that has brought much calamity on the Jews in the past. From what I have read, the 9th of Av falls on June 20-21? So WWI and WWII started on that date. Could it be possible that WWIII could start on that date? If the Restrainer goes home on that date, perhaps as they are saying "peace and safety," could sudden destruction descend?
Both Jewish Temples were destroyed on this date - or really eradicated, taken out. Could the Temple of God (Body of Christ - our bodies are His temple) be taken out that day?
The 27th of July is the Blood Moon Eclipse only to be seen in Israel with the sign of Jupiter and Mars exactly one week after the 21st - the date when we are taken and sealed in the heavenlies - reminds me of Noah's flood - seven days before the waters came. Now, this is my own thinking, so I'm not real sure on this, but just came to me.
This is me, too. He will come on a day we do not expect. Remember the day sequence Paul showed us. 2 4 7 2, so you would expect 2 7 4 2, but the last day is a 6 - a day you would not expect? Maybe this is all reaching. Anyhow, for what it's worth.
Love you all and pray for you all. Am concerned about Alla as I haven't seen her post lately.
Shelley B (please do not confuse me with Shelia B - She's my more mature and smarter sister. not flattering - it's the facts, ma'am) :o)
Shelley - Great food for thought. I've always had an extra watchful eye open on the 9th of Av for the reasons you mentioned above. The detail of what has occurred to the Jews on that date is absolutely supernaturally astounding. There is no way it is a coincidence. Back to my Mantra - will it be a Sign or the Event? I surely don't know, but I'll be watching. Your thought of the 7 days prior to the 27th as Noah was in the Ark 7 days is also very intriguing. Just a list of what has happened on the 9th of Av I pulled from the Unsealed Message Board for everyone to chew on a bit more.
1200 BCE – The Children of Israel were told on the 9th of AV by God in the wilderness that their generation would not enter the land of promise by their refusal to join Caleb and Joshua and enter the Promised Land in faith of their G-d whom they met at Sinai.
586 BCE - The Babylonian army destroyed the Temple of Solomon on the 9th of AV.
70 CE - Titus and the Roman army destroyed the Temple of Herod on the 9th of AV.
135 CE - "Bethar" the stronghold of Bar Kochba, fell ending the last trial for Jewish Independence on the 9th of AV.
136 CE - Rome began to erect the pagan city on the site of the Temple dedication on the 9th of AV.
1096 CE - The First Roman Christian Crusade began on the 9th of AV.
1290 CE - The Jews were expelled from England on the 9th of AV.
1306 CE - The Jews were expelled from France on the 9th of AV.
1492 CE – The Jews were expelled from Spain by the signed order of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. On July, on the 9th of AV, all Jews had to be out of Spain. Columbus, according to renewed historical data, a Genoese Jewish marine captain, sailed from Spain after worshipping the Shabbat on his last day in Spain before heading to America on the 9th of AV (with many Jews on board for rescue - added by Sherry).
1648 CE - Chmelnicky massacred tens of thousands of Polish Jews on the 9th of AV.
1914 CE – The Declaration for World World I began.
1942 CE - Plans for the annihilation of Jews began with the deportation of the Jews from the Ghetto of Warsaw on the 9th of AV.
1994 CE, July 16 - The twenty-one pieces of Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet began its bombardment on the planet Jupiter on the 9th of AV.
2006 CE – The Vatican sponsored Rome Peace Conference put the finishing touches on the Peace Accord that successfully implanted the international forces of NATO into Lebanon and the northern borders of Israel on the 9th of AV.
I first saw this discussion several years ago in a sermon by Jonathan Cahn, you can find it on his YouTube Channel, and I was completely astounded at the horrific things which have occurred on the 9th of AV. Since that time I've thought repeatedly of the Rapture of the church being not only our rescue, but a Great Sign to Israel. What more horrific event to portend Jacob's Trouble than the realization when "the blindness is removed from their eyes". There are many who have been told of the Gospel of Christ and and the rescue of the Church via Rapture. Further study would quickly reveal to The Remnant the coming Covenant which would mark the commencement of the final 7 years - Daniel's 70th Week. This could be the fulfillment of the scripture in Romans 11:11 "to provoke them (Israel) to jealousy." Just think of their realization and jealousy when they become aware we were telling them truth and they missed Messiah's coming and then they will "weep for Him whom they have pierced." John 19:37 and Zechariah 12:10. Heavy with implications. Blessings - Sherry
Wow sister Sherry thats amazing I had heard alot had happened bad thing on the pth of AV but had no idea all that had taken place on that date and woth your listing of the jupiter shoemaker -levy 9 2q pieces i didnt know that happened on the 9th of AV wow that or those pieces could be projected by the powers to be and elites as to when or if those will be the comets or pieces that impact earth ?Delete
Take a look at Watchman on the wall 88. Chad does a review on the month of AV as well. And we all wait for his soon return knowing that we are in the season. Everyday I run into people that are in total chaos. Yesterday at the store one of the clerks went beserk and began to complain about her life and how nobody listened. I kept praying for the right words to give her all I could say was I understand that feeling and while she helped me carry my two bags to the car , I look up to the sky and and said that I pray to God and he gives me peace I have Jesus and I hope everlasting life. Praying that God will strengthen each one of you I should take his word and peace drying these tumultuous times. Can we not see the Flames of the tribulation On The Fringe of our last days here, with the earthquakes and volcanos, the floods , the chaotic behavior of mankind. Truly he is coming to save his church to pick up his bride Lord bless each of youDelete
Watchman on the wall 88, linked to the 9th of AV. https://youtu.be/WUejj0Bf1Qw
I have been blessed by the videos with Chad he was reaching out to the Lost speaking the word
Shelley B. and Sherry, as I said near the top, I am really tuned into the 9th of Av as well for something. It was strange last night as I dug out an old leather portfolio looking for some info I knew I had kept on the Laminins being in the form of a cross from some years back. When I opened it up an old newspaper clipping from 07/24/2010 fell out titled: Catastrophes Occuring on the 9th of Av. In addition to what Sherry listed:
71 C.E.—Romans plowed Jerusalem with salt
130 C.E.—Micah 3:12 fulfilled by Hadrian
133 C.E.—Hadrian changed name from Israel to Palaestina
1190 C.E.—Mass suicide of 500 Jews in York, England as a result of their sanctuary being stormed.
1882 C.E.—Jewish pogroms began in Russia
1941 C.E.— "Final Solution" formally presented by Himmler to the Nazi Party and carried out one year later to the day as noted by Sherry.
1994 C.E.—Deadly bombing of Argentina Jewish Center killing 86 and wounding 100's
2005 C.E.—Under US pressure, Jewish Gaza settlers forcibly removed from their rooftops to transfer Gaza to Arabs which then turned it into terror training camps and rocket launch sites. (Hello Hurricane Katrina a few days later. Americans were being pulled from the rooftops of their flooded homes by the 1000's with many dead)
Shelley B, TY for your sweet words and it seems to me you have quite a lot to add to the mix, Sister. So happy you chimed in with your intriguing thoughts and I hope you keep them coming.
Blessings, Sister!
p.s. Shelley, Ps. 42:1 has always been one of my favorite verses. "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God."
TY for bringing it to mind today. So refreshing.
Thanks Sheila, I've added those to my list and it just ratchets up the watchfulness indeed! How can anyone look at a list such as this one and think coincidence? It is beyond my comprehension. I'm adding the link for Jonathan Cahn's video I saw originally which woke me up to the 9th of Av back in 2014. https://youtu.be/gNf3tnsK6TE
"As a Deer Panteth" is one of my all time favorite Praise and Worship songs as well. Blessings - Sherry
Things may be coming together...again...
See Brother John Watchman for that Great Day)... the 9th of Av is...interesting and so are the days before it (Gregorian count).
I think there was an, interesting, typo in the 1st post. I was pretty sure that 9th Av is July 21st-(ish), not June, and chabad.org affirms. So, July 21st-ish it is. Now I want to kick the hornets nest off the siding and boot it around a bit.
I know it is a bit off the reservation for most, even here I suspect, but I continue to be on board with John WFTGD and his most recent post is icing on the cake. My modeling allows for everything he calls for in his timing without violating anything we've long held dear. OK, wasp nest swatted, not really my point. IF John's model is correct, and as Paul tells us, I think there is sound resonance in MY spirit and mind that he IS, and 21 IS THE KEY after all, then I say we have ONE WEEK LEFT and the questions Annabel asked above, which echo ones I asked in two earlier posts, ANSWER THEMSELVES, MARANATHA! The 'appearance' of the first heaven is so polluted it now only serves the Deceiver so GAME OVER, Maranatha!
Interesting timing on Psalm 42: Pastor Ben Stuart from Passion City Church had mentioned "Why are you downcast, O my soul" in a message I listened to this past week. I've been feeling a little discouraged recently and that verse really stuck with me. So I looked that up today to see where it came from in the Bible and found it was from Psalm 42:5. I read through that Psalm today along with the study notes. I'm not one to view things as coincidence, so it was interesting to see ShelleyB and Sheila both specifically mention that chapter today of all days. :)
"Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence." Psalm 42:5 (BSB)
Yes, from time ago preaching . Very stong message for the remnant church by Derek Prince
https://youtu.be/VQElLFO9AFw. Maranatha
Amen Eric...there are no coincidences with the Lord. He knows just how to spread His awesome touch among His children.
Jimboni, I've just finished a 3rd watch of Brother John's 21 video and I was really wanting to know your thoughts on that and was going to ask you and wallah...I was just blessed to read them. I have been praying for him a lot and my feeling is we need to pay attention to this Brother. I can't quite absorb the way he is looking at a 40 day transformation rather than the outright Rapture, but
not saying he's wrong on that either. Something in his demeanor and perseverance is so unique that it makes me think of the way our Lord inspired the behavior of some of the OT prophets.
And re the 1st heaven and Annabel's perceptions, I'm beginning to wonder if all of those two moon dreams so many of us experienced were referencing a real moon and a deceptive moon.
Anyway, TY and Blessings, Brother.
Sheila B., Good day, sister. John has been so intensely manning his radio station that he's looking a bit wired of late, surely. This is why we keep 'Holy Men' in a cave up on a mountain, somewhere, they are much too raw for polite society, don't ya know. Nonetheless, for all his crazy scientist 'back to the future' appearances, lately, I believe John is simply showing the signs of having spent an entire weekend out on the waves, riding and loving the waters of the Word.
As for the meat of his timeline, we wait and watch, of course. The main sticking point, currently, is his idea that the Tribulation began 6/21/18. All Pre-Trib Rapture believers are having a cow over that, understandably, especially in light of his work making so much sense OTHERWISE. The complexity and internal cohesion of his timeline is very impressive, and, yes, it reminds me of others with similarly 'bullet-proof' choreography's these past couple years. Setting that aside, while acknowledging it as a hat tip to caution & prudence in such matters, the idea that, as an absolute marker, 6/21 started the clock of the Tribulation is OK with me and does not conflict with my 'pre-trib' identity, although now a bit more 'pre-wrath' perhaps. The Truth of that model will be acid-tested shortly.
I will try to be brief (not my strength), within the Tribulation are numerous dynamics entangled, and moments, and players, and purposes leading to the MAIN purpose of Redeeming Israel. The pouring out of the Wrath of our Lord is one, surely, but not the only one. The 40 days of harvesting, as proposed by John and others, mirroring Jesus' 40 days ministry, after the cross, is very dicey ground, to be sure, and I am not putting all my chips there. Still, as I said, it is appealing and logically sound as ONE possible deciphering of the 'later rain' and doing 'greater works' than Our Lord did and the exhortation that we pray that the Lord of the Harvest sends more workers, as well as its reversed symmetry with His Parting, back then. Must Our King Reveal everything aforehand? Of course not. Again, setting all that aside for later chats, I am comfortable acknowledging that WITHIN the Tribulation, the Wrath is poured out, and the Spirit-Indwelt Church will be removed prior to that.
Furthermore, I posit that one MAIN root of the difficulty in parsing the details of Harpazo timing vs Tribulation, Wrath, Unveiling, etc. is BECAUSE OF THIS. We've been given a puzzle box of a shredded spreadsheet full of dates and numbers and details and, as we piece together explicit and VERY specific overlapping day counts tied to somewhat vague markers, IF the Harpazo event happens WITHIN the Trib but PRIOR to Wrath then it also fits PERFECTLY as a tool for redeeming Israel, as their object lesson at the start, the 'this' vs. 'that' lesson. All the specificity we see in the puzzle pieces pushes us to wanting a 'clean' moment for Harpazo. BEFORE Trib works for that, WITHIN it doesn't. Really now, have you, (spoken to all), been following our Abba for this long and actually expect it to be that simple? Putting it WITHIN Tribulation, early and prior to the Wrath, fits very nicely for me. Again, the other details (40-days harvest, transformation, etc.) beg the King David-Default of simply being 'too wonderful for me' but I am very happy to take Paul Dawson's advise and hang my hat on the 21's, and hope to be saying THANK GAWD ITS FRIDAY! I am OUTTA HERE for the WEEKEND, Maranatha!
Jimboni, LOL on the holy men in the caves. In total agreement there. We share the same intuit re our Brother John. I thought his Back to the Future take was spot on for the kind of deep diving he's done. So appreciate your thoughts as I struggled with the pre-trib thing as well, but as you say, our Abba's perfection is far beyond our fathoming abilities.
The 21 is there
and reverberating. I dug out some old diagrams I worked on 10 or 12 yrs ago that pointed to an overlapping time frame between June and July as the significant hour and had to do with a vintage grape harvest. I didn't get it then as a specific year wasn't in play, but it makes a lot more sense now.
And hah... G#21–jump for joy, i.e. exult, be exceeding glad with exceeding joy, rejoice (greatly)
All in with whatever our King has in store for us. Thanks again and MARANATHA dear Brother!
So the UN has appointed a Russian as a special peace envoy yt video below
Just want to praise the Lord for our little Church service today. The Pastor there is a full time lineman for the Electric Co-op here and became a pastor to hold the little congregation together that meets in this 1859 historic little schoolhouse/church out here in rural Texas. Anyway, fairly new to it, I wasn't real sure where the folks stood on end times expectancy, but today he delivered a message on Matt. 22:1-14 and the parable of the wedding feast. The gist of his message was you'd best have your RSVP card submitted and be ready to receive your wedding garments. Then he passed out some cards to write down the words Repentance, Salvation, Victory and Praise. So that was uplifting. Then I noticed a small rustic painting of the little Church hanging on the back wall for the first time. I told Billy it looked like my Mom's work and sure enough, it was. She painted it just before she died in 1983 and though she had never attended church there, and as sick as she was, she had gone there one Sunday and given it to them. One elderly lady remembered the day she did that and was very surprised to learn I was her daughter. That was just a sweet gift from the Lord today. I know I'm going to see her again and very very soon:-)ReplyDelete
What a precious gift from your Mother to that church and what a lovely wink to you from God today. He is so good to His children. Blessings - SherryDelete
That is so beautiful, Sheila!Delete
Thank you for sharing Sheila. I had my own gift today from the Father, see below.Delete
TY Sherry and Cathi. It was a heart catch for sure. And speaking of moms, Cathi, how is your mother doing? Better, I pray. Can't wait to get home, Sister and for that Great Day at the end of all of these things yet to come when all news will forever be GOOD news...can you just imagine that...

We are all having some (wonderful, stressful, painful happenings)...
Today I was out wandering around, or so I thought, and I ended up going to a grocery store to check out an item. Well, in fact, I was sent there to help out a couple in town who needed some help (food and a couple nights hotel). While I generally know the difference between a swindler and someone truly in need, we are not to judge and we should be freely giving... as it is all His anyway and we will not be taking anything with us at the catching away.
To summarize, as much as I helped this couple with food and a couple nights hotel, I was blessed with a holy word. There are too many 'bad' things (well, trials and mini tribulation, disappointments) going on for me to want to help another, but that is what we are called to do, what we are supposed to do...Jesus did it for us to the extreme and even He asked the Father if there was a way out of it (in the Garden of G).
Mind us, it is an endurance race and there will be testing along the way. Will we love Him despite our circumstances? Will we trust or curse Him? A test for sure.
As it ends up, I was the one who was blessed and reminded of God's ever presence and His love for all His children. She knew they were going to be helped this evening. During our time together, she began quoting scripture to me...bringing tears to my eyes (just what the soul needs when it is down).
She told me to go home and cry out to our Father, who is waiting to hear. Well, wanted to share here before I do.
P.S. could have been some angels.... Hebrews 13:2
Amen, Charlie. We just never know about that and have to trust the leading of the Holy Spirit. One thing I know is when we open our hands to give, The Lord has an opportunity to put something even better in them. I get tickled sometimes when He catches me off guard in that department and there's no time to even think about what I'm doing. It seems to me those are the best times for a really Blessed take away. There have been a few times that I am convinced that it was no ordinary person that I had encountered. And regretfully, I know there's been more than a few missed opportunities. TY for sharing that and Blessings, Brother.Delete
Amen Charlie thats amazing its very amazing as God speaks to us in so many ways like angels speaking from a women at the store or a homeless man on the corner we are given what we need to be feed as long as we are seeking and longing for his appearing amen amen amen! God has been tughing at me for a long long time and I just cant thank God enough for saving me through the finished work of Jesus Christ amen and waking me up and coming into my soul and being Lord of my life and letting my life be Gods life tge rest of my days and I sm by far not perfect in any ways and I finally realized that God will forgive me and He loves me and even my broken life matters as all life matters and we impact others in more ways then our tiny minds can conprehend as we see through blurry glasses or a darkened bottle but its just so so amazing this feeling I have found and been given when I got saved by Jesus Christ I love Jesus soo much we are his for eternity amen ... you all are always in my prayers as I pray for everyone across the world amen !Delete
Amen, Jeramiah and I am so glad you are here with us waiting and watching for our Redeemer. You are always a blessing to me, Brother:-)Delete
Amen sister Sheila as you are a blessing to me maranatha ...Delete
I too take more them I give from this website. I have so much appreciated all they everyone contributes. I love the stories, the links, the knowledge, the prayers. Speaking of prayers, I was thinking it would be good too have a section on this site for prayer request and updates. I read about y'all asking how so and so is, and I have no idea what happened to them. But I pray for them any way. But I don't know exactly what to pray for. And I love the updates. Sheila, glad you're brother is improving so well. Glad to hear the improvement in others as well, and sorry to hear of all the health and other problems going on. I feel like y'all are all family.
I've seen what was perceived as redicule or judgment from annabell and others, but also have seen annabells side, as she explains herself and have learned to get to know her and appreciate and love her. Annabel, you're quite knowledgeable, and I can understand why you've been guarded on who you listen to from the world teachers. I was hurt initially, but also had compassion. I love how the community in here has so much edification to one another and how when one said something degrading, you encourage And edify the offended And the person who did the offending.
Y'all are a special group indeed. I want to thank each of you for your dedication to this site. I and others benefit from all of you, plus the authors, very much.
LJ your kind approach is very much appreciated and I want to give glory to God to make you understand my wholehearted love to all of you (compare Galatians 4:16 ). You have no idea how greatly you comfort me with this. I look forward to meeting you soon with all the precious saints of our sweet Saviour around, MARANATHA! :-)Delete
Sheila, a bit of helpful advice, my husband suffered from heat stroke. The Texas heat is hard on him. We learned that if you apply ice on the back of your neck, inside your wrist, and inside elbow, it will rapidly cool your body temperature down.
Wear a hat for shade, but one with holes to breathe. Hats keep the heat in. Like a hat in winter will keep us warm. So the hat must have holes in the head covering. A sun hat, a floppy hat (they have those in men's too, like a fishing hat). Take Himalayan pink salt or Celtic salt(it has some minerals). That's the good salt and it will help the body replenish water as the water is absorbed rather them going straight through. And we make our own electrolytes drinks. Those things have really helped us.
LJ, TY so much for the hints. We use the ice towels and def the ventilated caps, but never tried the pink salt. We go through a lot of ice water and drinks and try to make the best use of shade. And pray for some cool breezes:-) Supposed be 102 and up this next week. 😏
And thank you for your first thoughts re this site. I know I've said it before that I didn't know it was possible to care so much about folks I've never laid eyes on, but I soon realized we are all connected in one faith, one baptism and one Spirit and we are all different parts of the same Body. Re prayer requests, I just try to jot them down and keep track of it that way. I think Brad has his hands full with keeping this busy forum going and tending to his job and family but anytime someone asks for prayer, the request has always been welcome here.
Hope all is well with you and yours and praying daily for Isaac. Let us know.
Blessings and Maranatha!
Thank you Sheila for addressing this by LJ. I think Sheila's jotting down requests for prayer was something a person could do if so led and is best for this site.
And, besides this site isn't for prayer requests and doing so would become burdensome. It ends up a litany of prayer requests. Any connectedness or interaction in asking for prayer is lost, I think. In having seen sites for prayer requests - it is just a long list that one has to get through. I can't do it anyway. Attendance at a prayer meeting is usually poorly attended, for example. I can see why - prayer is work. When I first saw a prayer list in a church bulletin I thought this was odd. They seem cold and impersonal and usually you don't know who the person is and prayer requests are made for this relative, co-worker etc., with an explanation of who they belong to. It's too much. My sister was on a prayer telephone chain through her church and it becomes a chore. I can barely pray for my own family needs on a consistent basis ... It just is overwhelming. I guess not many are prayer warriors. And I think I am not alone here. I can't be. I have seen too many times someone asking for prayer and the person responding, I will pray for you. I think most people forget as they turn aside and life gets in the way. Praying on the spot seems more realistic.
Maybe I am warped. But, well we have the best example with Jesus' disciples heavy with sleep when he asked them to stay awake with him. They couldn't do it. The flesh is weak.
Cathi, I understand where you are coming from. While we all are called to pray without ceasing
in all things, not all are called to that great War Room of intercessory prayer. And those who are usually are well suited to it. Some of the best prayer warriors I've known have been the older folks firm in their spiritual walk but not so strong in the physical. There was an elderly lady I knew of back in Florida who never left her house much but she had clothesline strung from one end of it to the other where she would clip up all the prayer requests that came in and spend her days walking back and forth in prayer for each request. It suited her
abilities and I know the Lord gifted her with the love and dedication for it. Most of us imo are what I call free-lancers for the Lord,
just praying for the wisdom to recognize whatever or whoever He puts in front of us and doing the best we can with however He's equipped us for that moment. We're not warped, we're just flexible😊
Amen sister Cathi I am with you on your view I pray for my imidiate family and pray for my entire family across the world daily and at night when my work doesnt over work me to the point of not enough sleep deprivation and I pray on the spot when I see someone in need of it posted I may not always comment when a post is made for prayer but everyone is always i my prayers no matter what and yes work and life does get in the way of trying to keep up with a prayer section its in my opinion easier for me to pray to our heavenly Father for all my family those lost scared found sick hungry God knows our prayers and knows who is in need and we do our best to pray for everyone along with ourself or someone in need as I see it from my view or perspective praying is good for our spirit and soul and does good for those in need and when we pray God knows who is in need honestly I dont think we even have to be specific of who as God knows but I do try to remember names when I see them and can and I am really glad yall brought this up as I can remember year or so ago on tv they was talking about how prayers had went down for men and more women pray and I csn tell you my mother prays a lot but since I got saved I have prayed heck ecen before I got saved I know I did a lot of praying but the real question is what are we praying for ? Since I got saved I have seen many pray for money for anything to better their own standing and I dont judge maybe I have idk but I think thats a serious question what am I praying for and during the day a question that I try to ask myself at the end of the day is something we all should ask did I spend my day with Jesus walking with me talking to others about Jesus and salvation and the times we are in cause this life we are living in is temporary and yes I am saved as many of us on here and around the world are saved but what are we doing after that ? Do I spend my day educating or fellowshiping with others and edifying my savior Jesus and no we are not saved by our works but as I have grown in my walk with Jesus coming up on my 1 year anniversary the question is do I leave my bible at home , do I allow Jesus to come to work with me and to the store and everywhere I go yes I do I take him everywhere Jesus is in my heart and he is in my heart along with his holy words no I cant throw out each and every verse with every single post honestly if I ever do post something with scripture its something I had to look up not all the time some times I can remember the exact verse chapter ect but I dont have them memorized like most of you do but God loves me just the same , God has his purpose for me and when I got saved well he had already been working on me and through me but when I got saved he opened my eyes to what I am doing in my life for him and for others and I know the gospel and I pray every morning asking for help for guidence and the words to speak to others and thankful for the blessings and to have others to talk to about Jesus and thankful for each and everyone of you as I have learned so much from each and everyone of you and I love it when I see any of you make comments about things happening today or that day and link it to scripture thats a truly amazing and great gift amen ! I love you all and just know that all of you are always in my prayers as we walk through the darkness of this world holding hands with our tiny lights in a dark place yes I do get scared but not a fear for myself I worry about my family all of you across the world as the days we live in have become a world that a simple ride to church or the store can be a death sentence but I find comfort with knowing where my brothers and sisters are going or are those who have already left this fallen broken world I have lost many many friends on my path and we all have a lot of pain we push through God will never put more on us then we can handle amen ! Love you all !Delete
I recently learned that the best place to place ice or other cooling packs for heat exhaustion or heat stroke (there are differences) is between the thighs for the fastest results. This works for all mammals including humans. The largest collections of blood are in the muscles in the thighs. It is the blood that you want to cool to counter the heat. Try it next time.
TY! That is good to know, Janet, for sure. I am making sure no one overdoes it in this oppressive heat. The Hsb is actually finding we get more done by taking a minute or two for cool down breaks every 15 or 20 minutes. Good to know for the four footed ones as well.
Blessings, Sister!
This seems a perfect spot to drop in a mention of John Fenn and his little 10 minute video he does on YouTube every Wednesday. He is head of Church Without Walls International, but his videos are living room sit down with an iPhone camera and speaking to you about things the Lord puts on his heart. His point regarding the issue LJ has raised and Cathi's commented on is this. First, not all are really "built for and encouraged by" auditorium style churches. They are wonderful for many, but as all people are not alike, all worship is not the same. I find huge sustenance in listening to a variety of wonderful pastors throughout the week when they put their services on YouTube. The first century church did meet in synagogues, when the leadership had come to faith in Jesus Christ as Lord, but most often they met house to house, much as we do here in this little house. After a time, the church faces slip away and the real thoughts, fears, cares and excitements creep out into the open and people "get real" with each other. When that occurs we can broach our wackadoodle theories and have them either shot down or supported, but never jeered at (unless by a wolf), and either encouraged to think more deeply or to discard that line of thought. That's when ministry can begin. This is not to say don't go to church or not to respond on a prayer chain or on a blind request on Facebook to "Please Pray, Father knows the need." Those are all wonderful things and I do them all but there is a huge difference for me. Perhaps its a weakness on my part, Abba knows I have so many, but when Jeramiah is concerned for Mom and Grammy, Jimboni is rejoicing over Caleb's progress, Sheila is worried about her brother and struggling in the heat, Cathi's Mom is fading or Annabel is broken hearted because her family won't listen about our Father my heart is fully engaged and it gives me the ability to "take hold of the horns of the altar" for their needs have become personal to me.
This topic alone is a perfect example. How many who quietly watch, read and pray with us have wondered, but never voiced, why does prayer on a blind request seem so inconsequential to me? Surely, I must be lacking or broken in some way. I want to be a Prayer Warrior, but I feel like a prayer flop - been there and done that. It's not right way, wrong way - it's different and each has its purpose and place and God has made a part of the fellowship strong in each element - but not in all. The arm lifts up the hand, the lung oxygenates the heart, the feet carry the torso and on and on it goes, yet the model of the church has become to "march in lock step", "put on the Praise God Life is Great Face" and to be in agreement with zeal at all times. If you dare say, I prayed and nothing happened or I just didn't feel like praying you are made to feel like an outcast and some ignoramus will surely stand up and question your salvation. Fellowship such as ours says its OK to come in some days and throw down your sunglasses and purse and say, "I've had it, I can't do it today and I just need to sit here and be with you guys while you minister to others and then I can pick it all back up and go again - I'm drained and dry." It's OK to be frustrated and weak here, because when we are, we allow others to pick up the slack and fulfill their purpose. There are watchful eyes who quickly discern when someone is pulling a lamb too close to a rocky ledge and they'll sing out in full throat. That's true fellowship and I, for one, am greatly indebted to, in love with and thankful for our little flock! Blessings - Sherry
Hi Sherry, I liked everything you said. I think my comments were not for this group in and of itself as we ask for prayer here and there and this all. It is great to pray for another and to think of someone else and get outside of oneself (for me anyway). It isn't always easy to even ask for prayer.
I will have to check out the site you mentioned.
I too am thankful for this group and in feeling a connection toward one another. I guess I don't usually express my thanks or gratitude. Sometimes I freeze up. I have started to see this site as my little online family and say this out loud to myself as I check in or remember words someone spoke to me or knowing they have prayed or are praying for concerns I have mentioned, etc. I have appreciated all prayers said for me or for a family member, a neighbor. I have been comforted and have tasted His love by those who have given of themselves here. A burden is lifted more off my shoulders or from my heart. God has blessed me through this site and I have been encouraged, strengthened along with learning many things (or attempting to do so) as well as continuing to Look Up for Him as we see the day approaching. Amen.
Sherry, Amen to all you said and yes, Cathi, we are a family now and forever and so grateful for every heart that joins in with us as we all are looking to get Home!
Blessings All:-)
Thank you Sherry for the kind and honeet words much needed you have me at work in tears of joy you gave me exactly what I needed go hear as some days are so hard and your right some days some of us are so so drained I can barely keep up and I miss some of the conversarions on here and it breaks my heart that I miss some cause my heart and soul loves each and every single one of you and trust my life in your hands as I know in my heart that you all love me as a brother son or grandson as I love all of you like family holding you close to the chest some days its really hard to try to keep up and as you said I dont want to be thought of as slack or lazy and on here I know that my family here doesnt judge me when I sm not here a few days or I dont check in its not becuase I dont want to I wish I was retired but even wothout having a job in the way life steps in and we get caught up with the many things happening in our immediate area and I try my best to stay connected on the physical on here as this is my family my church here on earth I also watch many yt channles with discernment as with everything we must always watch with discernment amen ! I just want to thank you Sherry for those words of encouragement and acceptance but also thank everyone of you for the prayers the comments the wondeful posts as we all are here together doing our part as Sherry said all having our different jobs the hand grasping the the others to pick it up and the knees carry the load of the body and also bend or kneel to pray as I have had problems with both my legs but my family and our Father Abba is helping pull me through this life while we battle this spiritual battle we are all willing but the flesh is weak as we all keep pushing forward we also pick each other up and edify and comfort one another in our daily walk amen !Delete
Sister sheila I miss ya and you know what wiuld be awesome if we could all be online together live and see one another :) but whats better then that is when we make it to heaven and see each other and know hey thats my family:) what a glorious day to come amen ...Delete
Amen Brother and that day will come!Delete
Samantha at maranatha morning did a wondeful good update title the Christian View link below ! And sister Sherry I am checking out brother John Fenn now I love how you posted about how we worship and fellowship in a different way like via yt channles or in here on this site as things have changed not saying churchs are wrong or bad but that is something with my clients I hear alot these days they say they were judged horribly at church or they visited a mega church and nobody ecen talked to them ect ect sometimes it seems the bigger the church with too many sheep kinda as school rooms with too many kids some get neglected and its hard when its not as personalized as a tighter closer fsmily like we have in here and I too am pulled and emotionally convicted and my heart is driven to worry and pray when any of you need prayer sometimes its just easier for me if I worry about any of you and if I havent kept up with all comments I always pray for my family here amen !
Many times I think am I posting too much or I hope I dont offend anyone as in these days many people can see this world has changed society has changed and things are worse and people are very sensitive and the love has waxed cold and I pray that I never ever offend or hurt anyones feelings ever if I ever have please forgive me or overlook that I am human of the flesh and I am by no mrans perfect far from it , I try my best to be kind loving respectful and loyal to a fold I dont want pride to bring me down as we all srruggle in these broken bodies amen ! We all are learning the day I stop learning will be the rapture or my death when I go home and I can only pray that I have helped someone on my path and edify comforted and exhort our savior Jesus and spread the gospel and planted seeds my gift of salvation I have it but I dont deserve it , I was such a horrible person on a broken path in my younger life but God in his glory and amazing love slowly started tugging at my soul and he started at a very young age and had he not been pulling at my spirit I tell you famoly I dont think I would be here today and I would have died lost I owe Jesus my life as I have given him my life and its really amazing to look back on pur life at the endless imperfections and where we went wrong yet in reality God was slowly working away and pushing us towards him amen !ReplyDelete
Keep posting Jeramiah like reading your thoughts 😍😍Delete
Thank you brother and I sm glad you found that app its lretty neat isnt the irony kinda funny all this new technology they have come out will ultimately be used to kill humans especially in tribulation ... the drones great for cheaper but better closer up news footage and movies and emergencies but same time good for tracking people same with cell phones but yet we all have had to become use to using these phones that are part of the beast system and taked our location our facial recognition and I can say A.I. has been released and 2017 Sophia became the first citzen robot ai and thats scsry cause what they show society is only a small part of what they already have using or working !Delete
I know I have posted alot today as we seek and look for Jesus appearing, I have noticed tv has gotten very very very bad evil filled with satan its really sad and yet look at whats happened to families values and how the new kids or younger generstions are being brought up into the filth on tvs and wonder why they end up hating good christian values and I also look at it this way and ask why do kids pr younger or anyone hate saved Christians why do they not believe what do they tremble from if they tremble at all ? Do these elites or satanic people not want love or want to see the glorious heaven? Has church put in a way or portrayed such a judgment that they feel too judged about thier present life that they close God off and shut the door? I had a client the other day and she said oh im saved and its a personal connection to God but I dont believe in pushing it off on others and talking about it with all their judgments ect , I can tell you I dont know if she was saved but she definately was very offended by me bringing up Jesus and I honestly had to pray about it but some of my clients I see all the time some I may never see again but at least I tried but did I try enough was there more I could do I just know how I feel since I got saved and nothing and I mean nothing brings me more Joy then to fellowship or talk about Jesus amen ! It just seems like society has become so so edgy or very easily offended or offensive if you will ... like when I said Jesus she almost bit my head off it was well I felt as if I had just spoke the name Jesus to the devil or Satan idk .... I have to be careful with my work and job but I wont deny Jesus or my faith !ReplyDelete
Hang in there, Jeramiah. We'll soon be in a place where the Name above all names will be forever celebrated by all who were never ashamed of That Mighty Name!Delete
Gods Warrior ... Your just fine. We all don't respond as we would like, etc. Your to be commended for telling others about Jesus!!! You are a light in the darkness 🕯!
Today, people are easily offended about everything. Many are deceived believing they are Christians because they are a good person and don't want anyone to tell them any differently! People want to believe what they believe. Whether it is what they were raised to believe or don't believe what they were taught, it doesn't matter because when push comes to shove they fall back on what they were taught no matter how sporadic it was. People want it to be about themselves.Today, people want their ears tickled and you see this in the "feel good" church platforms that feed the self. In movements that emphasize you deserve what you ask for and what you want because God wants you to be happy, etc. God is a genie in a lamp that we can rub its side and give it a little pat as we expect to get what we want.
P.S. I have to look up any verses that I use. 😊
Thank you sister Cathi that made me smile and your totally right many think its all about me me me and many are into the frel good church and I love your analogy of God is a Genie rub that lamp or pray and they will get what they want and its sad the thought of how many truly pray and how many say well im a good person i attend church and only time they pray is when they are in need or mostly for money and riches lf this world things that wont be going with them as they are blinded and dont want to look for our blessed hope and some mock and scoff at us who.look for his appearing amen ! Glad to know I am not alone marsnatha ...Delete
Cathi G., truth be told, I Google the words as I recall them, it finds the verse, I THEN go to Biblehub.com, preferably, and then to Strong's. Developed this precise and challenging technique while managing a BA Magna cum laude at Colo Christian and its worked ever since, Maranatha!Delete

33 passengers hospitalized after Ryanair flight depressurizes
Yeah i see 33 about 50s a day It will be in a news story or the cost of my mc donalds breakfast meal the list goes on and on. Maybe someone here would be kind enough to explain what it means?Delete
Yay, it's estimate day and Dalian can do that so I got to stay home today:-D
33 is the number of PROMISE.
Noah's name is found 33rd time in assoc. w/ the rainbow. Gen.9:13-17.
Abraham's name is found 33rd time in assoc. w/ Isaac's birth. Gen.21:1-2.
Jacob's Name is found 33rd time in assoc. w/ his promise to give God a tenth of all he is given. Gen.28:20-22.
Jesus was 33 at His crucifixion. 30 represents the Blood of Christ and 3 the Resurrection and through the Blood of Christ we have the PROMISE of a glorious Resurrection.
Blessings, Brother!
And here I was wondering if you were sweating in the afternoon sun or found any shade!

I was kind of expecting @Many Fish to cover the 13 Chernobyl Wolves collared and being tracked for the possibility of spreading radioactive mutations as they proliferate and range further away from that area. Sounds like a fitting concern for the times. Oh...and what about the Jaguar that escaped it's enclosure at the NOLA ZOO and killed 7 animals in less than an hour with 2 more dying later. The beasts of the earth are making some scary headlines here lately.Delete
Wow came across something cool tonight a friend introduced me to a phone app called Skyview its on android or iphone. You point your phone to the sky and it overlays where all the star signs are positioned plus satalites as well.
I just thought this would be a cool way to bring up the rev 12 sign with friends and family while showing them the constalations in the sky with the app.

Can anyone help me with what Pharmacia means in the bible?ReplyDelete
It is drugs .. like what we see in society ... Drugs to make us feel good, take the edge off our anxieties, to get high and to numb the pain.Delete
This comment has been removed by the author.Delete
Pharmakia - Strongs 5331 - Drug related Sorcery in the magical Arts - Sorceries or Witchcraft depending on your translation. Galatians 5:20 and Revelation 18:23. I recall a study Derek Prince (whom VeeBee had just mentioned above) when he spoke of Pharmakia and its meaning in scripture is always related to and found within the practice of the Occult. His counsel was to be certain when you are dealing with drug addiction you seek out the occult spirits at the root for they will be there. His reference was, its a tool they use, either on themselves or others, in their summoning rituals. I'll go back and re-read again to see if I can get further understanding from Holy Spirit, but the one passage I can't get out of my mind is King Saul and the Witch of Endor.
Jeramiah, our dear sweet brother, I frustrate myself no end for being unable to remember the direct scriptural reference like Jack Van Impe so God gave me Google and Duck Duck Go. I can usually remember a portion or at least most of the words of the passage and I just look it up and post. No Memory Genius on this side of the keyboard I promise! I can't wait to meet one of my favorite little brothers by the River of Life! You never post too much, I love reading your thoughts and knowing about your journey! Blessings - Sherry
You know i have had people tell me in the past you dont keep the sabbath and your gonna die snd burn in hell !ReplyDelete
Well, they sound like Judiazers .. those that keep the law. We are under grace.Delete
Gods Warrior, I had a high-highschool girlfriend who believed I was going to hell because I wouldn't go to her bible believing church. We had re-connected. That didn't last long. I think the pastor had too much control over the members. I went once.Delete
Agreed Cathi,. Gods Warrior Jeremiah, I was raised as a Catholic went to a Seventh-Day Adventist college and learned about the Sabbath . Well after listening to the sermons by JVernon McGee and comparing God's word to the writings of Ellen G white I was shocked. There is one area in her writings where she predicts the exact time of the arrival of Jesus. I was prompted by the Lord to search the scriptures I was so confused do I keep the Sabbath per EG White. Well we are new creatures in Christ not in bondage by the law by the Love of Jesus our Messiah and serve with a whole heartDelete
VeeBee, I lived with an Adventist family for a summer through a friend. I even toured an Adventist college with possible plans of transferring. It was a difficult time and I returned home and stayed at our local college. I ended up dropping out and didn't call her because I worried about her anger over this. She valued education. But I had felt trapped while with them a d was relieved to be home.Delete
And, kudos to you in researching EB White with the Bible. I wish my sister would crsck open one of the Gospels and see the Mary the mother of Jesus had other children. She doesn't pray for us. There are no saints in the Bible to pray to. That it is the Bible that matters, not Catholic doctrine. That Jesus alone is our intercessor and He alone is our salvation and we do not pray for the deceased.Delete
Let's have Our Lord and Master Sort this out, shall we? Mark 2:27. Get it? Got it? Gooood. "nuff said, movin' on. Maranatha!Delete
VeeBee, your turn. Galatians 5:14. Any Questions? Good, now move along, Maranatha!Delete
Interesting story by youtube chan about a sucophigus found Egypt
Thank you very much dear Family for your concern about me. ShelleyB, much thanks! I'm always here with you all, sorry for not writing, I don't have strength enouph, my condition worsens, I couldn't even watch the video until the end, but I will try to. I read your comments, just great! I know you all pray for me also, and I'm praying for you continually! I make my daily study and read your wonderful thoughts! Very much blessings to you all! Maranatha!ReplyDelete
Oh Alla, blessings to you!Delete
Alla I will continue to pray for you. I've been under the weather here and these are the times when I simply have to repeat God's word out loud. Confessing Jesus as Lord confessing him as a son of God confessing him as my savior. It is these times when we are lyint our back....there is nothing tangible but simply the breath Moment by moment it is during these times that I know whom I have believed iand that this Joy will be complete when we see him face to face. Alla hold on and rejoice because he is at the door ready to take us homeDelete
Amen VeeBee. Alla, we love you, Sister
and please just keep hanging in there for a little more leaning on that Blessed Hope. If all you can type is "I'm here", that's enough. We know you are looking up and praying with us. Hugs and Maranatha!
And Nora...where are you? Missing you, Sister.Delete
Hey, I was just thinking the same thing!Delete
Great thanks sisters Cathi, VeeBee, Sheila and all others in our Family! The Lord is near! I'm praying for you! Maranatha!Delete
I found a very interesting update of Sean Osborne, Eschatology Today:
"UPDATE 15 July 2018: We've all read the reports, so we all know that the 29 May update above remains the current situation 45 days later and the fulfillment of Isaiah 11:14 is closer now than it was at the end of May 2018. Do not be surprised if the literal fulfillment commences within the next few days."
And some comments:
"Israel, addressing issues on the northern front, sent a barrage of missiles into an Iranian base just east of Aleppo International Airport last night.
The dozen or so buildings Israel destroyed were very large warehouses; large enough to be used as storage for recently arrived Iranian ballistic missiles - which of course no longer exist or pose any threat to Israel." - Sean Osborne, July 16, 2018 at 5:52 AM
"At this point I'm looking forward to the entire world meeting the offspring of Jesse (the Lord Jesus) of Isaiah 11.
Ultimately all of this turmoil is so the world shall know the Lord God as RJ quoted. - jmoll106, July 16, 2018 at 9:02 AM"
These are my very thoughts these last days! Blessings! Maranatha!
Alla Dear One - Soon and very soon, renewed and continual prayers for your health! Blessings - Sherry
Thanks ls All for the information on Sean's site. I missed they update! ☺Delete
Sorry, thanks, Alla! i meant. 😉Delete
Pastor JD's update was really good from the 15th if you haven't seen it. He talks about Iran's entrenchment in Syria as well as Israel's big fear of a mega quake that prophetically is supposed to coincide with a major attack and they are expecting the quake to occur at
any time now.
Alla D, your testimony is a bright shining Jewel in the Kingdom and I rejoice to hear again, it had been a while. I know you are in good hands, so no worries, yet I know our paths can be tough at times. As I encourage my Caleb, our Lord is in the Redeeming Business, and your time now WILL be used for His Glory, many here would correct me and say it already is, and YOU will treasure that for eternity, Maranatha! May His Tender Mercies Pour Upon you meanwhile, amen.Delete
Thank you Jimboni, praying for Caleb, the Lord hears my prayer, I have testimonies really, and see them also in my family and friends, I don't know only why my condition worsens. This is my tesimony indeed. Praying! Your son and all yours will be better really! Blessings! Maranatha!Delete
The Lord has blessed me with all of you, your words of encouragement, the scripture with the word of God coming to life each day Chapter by chapter. Struggles with a family and the bickering that occurs. Also a lot of looks of disdain when talking about the end times, nevertheless prayer and supplication for the lost. MaranathaReplyDelete
VeeBee, I love being in your family, Maranatha! Galatians 6:9-10, amen.Delete
Amen Jimboni, we ll soon arrive to our new home, Yes, dinner with the Lamb of God who took away our sins nd set us free. Perfect word
I was praying and asking the Lord to help me with the weariness and illness....Hallelujah,
Your sister in Christ Jesus

Two great, sobering messages my friends, please listen then share....
1) From Become Like Jesus YTC: "I come from you MY Bride"
I know what some may think about a certain revealing here, but listen to BLJ's previous messages.....truly spirit breathed. Note the similarities between these two messages.
2) From God's Handmaiden YTC: "Not Much Time Remaining For My Chosen Bride"

Gods warrior, watching now, wow. The choreography of this and the Sun on 9/10/18 while Mars is also in the headlights, oh my. So, I did some Strong's work with the comet's name and it is a hit, surely. Check it out:
Giocobinni-Zinner = J804 & E1154
G804: asphalés: certain, secure Acts 22:30

H21: Abi: "my father," Hezekiah's mother (1) 2 Kings 18:2 Maranatha!
Just now getting to reply to y'alls comments on prayer list.
I understand and agree. I hadn't thought how out of hand it could get. But, I do understand. I have made it a habit to pray immediately when someone request or I hear about it. That way, when I say I'll pray for you, I don't forget.
I may not know the details of the things y'all mention, but I'm part of your family And I want you to know, I pray for y'all.
Isaac is healing but in a lot of pain. Thanks so very very much for all your prayers. I feel connected to all of you in a different way then other places I have read. And I look forward to reading the comments after each article is posted. Thanks again for all that y'all share.
God's warrior, you mentioned that you don't know if you share too much. I don't think so, I am very grateful for all the links and news you tell us about. I copy the links and save so I can go back and read those. Same with all the other links others post. Thank you all so much.
LJ, in reading your post just now, I felt the Holy Spirit wash over me. Yes, you are
family and hey, maybe we needed the impetus to hash out some thoughts on our prayers for each other. Good for the soul, Sister. TY for that. Blessings and Maranatha!
Another volcano and earthquake along the ring of fire. In the comments section someone says it seems like something big is going to happen. Yes it is!
Blessings to you all!
Good morning family I love you all its early morning in North Carloina and I have a doctors appointment say a prayer for me and I will say a prayer for all my family here and catch up with you after my doctor visit maranatha ...ReplyDelete
Oh my, the Ruach was not done with me. What power! Jeramiah, you are prayed for and I just asked for that touch to go forth and out like a mighty wind to each and everyone of you today. What is in store for us Family is so wonderfully inexplicable! That amazing Agape Love to all of you!!!Delete
Sheila, I saw my Mom today and she was the best I have seen her since her hospitalization. She greeted me Hi Cathi on her own as she looked my way, in her own upbeat voice! She is still not physically strong as before but she is better in this regard too.Delete
Sheila, her husband left the room twice briefly (I can't get a word in and neither for sure can Mom) and asked her if she believed in Jesus, she said yes but was confused about why and what He did for us (the Catholic indoctrination in the way, too I believe). The second time, I asked her if she knows where she is going when she dies. (I try to be clear and blunt and to the point). She, in a confident manner (she has usually acted very hesitant and uncertain with the "I don't know" comments), raised her arm up (bent at the elbow) with her finger pointed up and shook her head as if saying to me in a sure manner (surprisingly to me) I'm going above, while looking at me! Then, her husband came back in the room and well that seemed to be it. I wanted some time with just her and well I guess I was spent and would have had to work with/around him, etc.).
Sheila, I just read your comments to Gods Warrior - I guess God answered your prayers. I had asked God today to help me say something to Mom because I didn't the last two times I saw her, or my attempts to do so were meager indeed.
In past month or so I have been worrying about her care and her husband's choices and all of this, and I realized that what was important was her soul after all.
Now, I have tried saying things. I had the two of them pray with me in Jan. 2013 i think while eating out. I may have said this some time back ... He was agreeable, but Mom was uncertain/unsure (going along with it, but I thought that was progress) and surly didn't seem to at all be thinking about God or Jesus as she looked at us and around! And, of course he answers for her as he always does (and, I should have stopped him and told him to let her answer but I didn't). There hasn't been any change in them except once his pointing out to me a religious item on his mother's end table. Anyhow, my Mom has acted like this for a long time ... like, I guess a child.
So, idk.
My sister tells me they are not paying attention in the Catholic Church .. he talks about inappropriate things and Mom looks around at the people etc and this has been like this for probably since they started going to church what 30 years ago or more. Of course, Sheila this is our Mom - since we were kids!! She's a kid herself.
I could use prayer for my sister and I - she is burned out in dealing with Mom's husband in and of itself and moreso in regard to Mom (as she dealt with him in the care of his mother). Its been hard to talk to her about Mom (and, I have felt very alone) and her care and Mom's husband.
I need to let things go and watch my mouth. Because, I feed the flames. I fail miserably. Thank you for your prayers, Sheila, so much.
Cathi, what happened this morning does not happen with me very often. It's like a living door opens up to welcome the prayers of the heart right in to The Father's hands and it was open for awhile. It's indescribable really, but I know He specifically laid it on my heart to call out your name to Him 3 different times to meet your need. From what you say, it sounds like He did, so Praise Him for that! And He can reveal Himself to your Mom right where she is, but I know He wants to bless you at the same time. I'll gladly pray for your sister and Mom's husband as well. There are people called out from everywhere, including Catholic and other Churches so we just pray and trust Him for all of our loved ones and to work through us in whatever way is pleasing to Him. Be blessed in all things, Sister!Delete
Oh Sheila, I just cried. I could feel Him when I read your post to Jeramiah ... which I left the last time you said this ... I think I am just excited at the thought of the Holy Spirit upon you!!
Sheila, I had planned to go and look for shorts for Mom today.
I just went and got my receipt from when I left Goodwill, and I went right to Mom's which is 5-8 minutes away. She tried on the top and shorts. Then, her husband left the room shortly thereafter. Anyhow, the time on the receipt was 11:27.
What does that say? And, too - your calling out my name 3 times - as I went to get this receipt I thought three means completion!!! I don't know what to make of this, I really don't. But, I am overjoyed and humbled and I thanked God, our Heavenly Father for His love! In fact, I think I even called him dad, wanting to say daddy and I was stopped short. He is our heavenly daddy - Abba.
What I wrote above is accurate and I tried to not puff anything up. Mom has especially been these past few weeks even less of herself than normal. And, she can be irritable, snappish and quiet and removed from things. I think her husband barrels through and well she is even more quiet and with her dementia it has been moreso and she doesn't talk etc. I didn't over think any of it at the time ... because I was feeling surprised at what I was viewing and I was halted in my thoughts. Then her husband came back downstairs, and I was unto other things. As I drove away, I vaguely thought about Mom and did this mean she was saved? Idk. I remembered moreso these thoughts when I made my first comment above.
P.S., thank you Sheila for your willingness to pray my sister - and my Mom's husband. She carries the brunt of things (and her husband) in dealing with Mom's husband.
I can't believe you have this kind of experience. I just feel excitement for you! Blessings, Sheila. I pray for you and Ciji and your brother's healing of his shoulder - so, you can be home - and, now out of the sun and in the shade! 🌳
Thank Cathi for your prayers as well. He hears them all, it's just that usually I am praying in the flesh at least as much, if not more than in the Spirit. When it does become wholly in the Spirit, it's a precious Gift. I was reading LJ's post and as I read her line "I feel connected to all of you in a different way than other places I have read", then wow, He just washed over me with that love and living water that He and He alone can give when and where He wills.
We start a sizable job for us tomorrow
but I got that canopy, a nice new water cooler and a decent fan:-D
I told Billy today that now that I've had to partake in his misery, I want to make sure his working conditions are more comfortable😉
Sheila, I had read your comment again earlier and cried all over!
Well, girl power! I am glad your going to be more comfortable out in the field! I would never survive, I sweat too easily and am just miserable. I am thinking of getting a larger fan because my little one (I do have four) doesn't have any power, and sometimes I use it (coz I don't want to get the other one and then put it back). The landlady put in new windows (finally) two years ago and so I only have one and now need to use fans. The windows have a lip and it doesn't fit very well at all and here I bought a new air conditioner thinking it could just slide in. It should have been bigger but I wanted to be able to do it myself. Sorry, I rattled on here.
From Mike 444 YTC: "THE DESTROYER COMETH"
Well. from the past three YTVs from the 3 different folks plus Tim Fosters' studies, it looks like there will be some horrific and troubling days/ times/ events ahead BEFORE the catching away.... In the 3 YTVs the message conveyed was there are things happening and more coming Yet we (believers in Yeshua) are to stand firm, grab hold of Psalm 91, stand on the rock..... part of our testing before deliverance.
The Destroyer (Jeremiah 15:3, 48:8, 51:56)
It seems as if the Destroyer comes against Mystery Babylon (aka USA??)

So according to reports, it looks like Floyd is ready to get it crackin with Pacman. I know a lot of people thought Floyd would do all he could to duck Manny, what y'all got to say now?
"The much-anticipated bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao is all but set for March 13, a source told Yahoo! Sports. Mayweather has agreed to terms and promoter Bob Arum is making a trip to Manila, Philippines, to finalize a deal with Pacquiao, the source said." - Kevin Iole, Yahoo Sports
The article goes on to mention the fight was originally slated for May 1st, but had to be moved up due to Pacquiao's decision to run for congress in the Philippines (elections will be held on May 10th). I know Pac has been able to get away with recording an album, doing movies, etc. leading up to some of his past fights, but if he really wants to have a chance at knocking off Floyd the dude better focus on his #1 job. One thing that wasn't discussed in the article is the dollars. I think this is going to be the Read the rest of this entry »

New Year's Welcome
The New Year welcomes us, and we begin to consider the possibilities ahead. Whether we are ready or not, it seems change always finds us, and we must be determined to meet any challenge with good sense and skill.
Seeking to find some area where we can generate more control is in the planning of our leisure time. Increasingly, more people are opting for travel to closer destinations and spending fewer days. This practice allows for taking more breaks in a single year and having mini-vacations of three days at a time instead of doing nine-day treks to the beach only once a year.
Fortunately, West Virginia and the surrounding areas are especially equipped for this vacation type. When one considers shelter, dining, shopping and fun events, our state can easily provide a variety of perfect venues.
Consider the state parks and forests, which are not only able to provide cabins and hotel rooms, but winter or summer sport activities. Real bargains can be seen in meal prices, too, along with available events.
Three-day excursions to our State Capital, Charleston, can feature musical concerts at the Clay Center or the new Civic Center that feature noted artists along with dramatic plays or sporting contests. Good restaurants can be found not only in the downtown area, but at Southridge off I-64W's Oakwood Road exit where several new malls and Cabela's have taken residence.
Not to be outdone, Wheeling also has a Cabela's store just beside 60 other businesses. With Oglebay Park nearby, a Children's Zoo and a signature golf course they can be part of the vacation plan.
If one is a history buff, Lewisburg's historical district might be a great attraction. Set beside several quaint shops, one is never far from an excellent dining establishment. Both The Greenbrier Valley Theater and Carnegie Hall team up to promise some outstanding play or concert that can dominate evening hours.
Harper's Ferry is another historical site that focuses on West Virginia's role in the Civil War. The federal government has invested a great deal in this Eastern Panhandle park to promote tourism, and while on roadways there, look for the Bavarian Inn at Shepherdstown for a tremendous meal.
Of course, we do not have to travel very far to become involved in summer water sports with Stonewall Jackson Lake and Tygart Lake nearby. Golfing and excellent restaurants are housed at each of these vacation spots along with splendid room accommodations.
With winter snows assuredly waiting to seal us in our homes for the next few weeks, we will have plenty of time to pursue internet assistance and seek information to construct some plans involving these several vacation areas. We can give 2019 some flair by giving some thought to all the possibilities.
William Shakespeare reminds us, "It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves." Godspeed your journey into the New Year, and I hope the planning yields many happy moments for you and all you hold dear.
