OP, let me first thank you for taking the time to keep answering our questions, even if some around here are trying very hard to smear you.
I read your story elsewhere the other day and it is quite encouraging.
Right now I have 2 questions (I apologize if they've been asked before):
-Does the event that turns our world upside down have anything to do with the US president's visit to Israel March 20-22 this year?
-What are your thoughts on the Rapture of the body of Christ still present here on earth? Is there going to be one and if so is it linked to the event? And is our prensence (Holy Spirit indwelling the followers of Christ) what's restraining evil right now?
Thanks.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29546526 I was looking forward to your answers to these questions as well.
Yes it does. It sets the stage for it. Deals are being made..betrayals planned...watch Syria...it will come from there.
-What are your thoughts on the Rapture of the body of Christ still present here on earth? Is there going to be one and if so is it linked to the event? And is our prensence (Holy Spirit indwelling the followers of Christ) what's restraining evil right now?I am usually reluctant to answer rapture questions because it always ends up with 20 pages of pointless "When is the rapture" type of debate which only leads to contention and fighting..something the Lord really hates..especially amongst his own.
So I will not say WHEN it is..even though I know how it all plays out..as I dont want to get any debates started..as debate is NOT the point of this thread.
But I will say there WILL be a rapture and leave it at that.
As for whats restraing evil..well..the Lord is sovreign..HE can restrain or let it lose as he sees fit to accomplish his plans. It has nothing to do with the holy Spirit IN beleivers..its everything to do with the Holy Spirit being on earth Doing the Job He was sent to do.
Nothing ever happens without the Lords say so..its all part of His plan.
The prophecies in revelation were not "foreseen" as such, but TOLD AS they took place...John was taken litterally into OUR future and shown the events as they happenned.
Now..if you read Revelation one thing you will notice ALLL the way through it..GOD was in TOTAL control the entire time..he controlled the timing..the plagues..the events..the sequesnce..and satan and his cronies were just a TOOL..doing ONLY what they were ALLOWED to do..nothing more.
So the HOLY SPIRIT..was there ALL the way through..controlling and limiting satans actions..which is why there was only one third of this and one quater of that done. If satan was to have full unfetterred reign to do as he pleased without ANY restraining influence...it would NOT have been one quater this and one third of that wiped out..but the LOT.
Satan wants mankind DEAD...always has..he is a murderer. But he is restrained..even in his supposed time of full authority..he is STILL not permitted to make a complete end of mankind.
