END TIMES - A thread for all christians

[Vixy]

The real question here is, are we ready NOW to meet the Lord when He calls us? Not are you saved, but are you allowing the Holy Spirit to use you as He applies His gifts through a willing vessel. Are we preaching the Gospel of the love of God in Jesus the Christ? Are we preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom....They both go together. The place most needed to be preached to is the U. S. Government....Actually, all world Governments. "For it's not flesh and blood we fight against, but against principalities (principles against God's laws) against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places. But how do you get to the government to preach? They shield themselves from the population that they are suppose to represent.

Completely agree! How do we get to them?

 

[Lisa]

Completely agree! How do we get to them?

I don’t think we will have to worry about it...

Mark‬ ‭13:9-11‬ ‭
But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them. The gospel must first be preached to all the nations. When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.​

[TokiEl]

They couldn’t think of the word brain back then? Are ya kidding me? Lol! That’s ridiculous.

Revelation‬ ‭13:16‬ ‭​

And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead.​

‭‭

‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭​

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness.​

God knows what a forehead is..

They didn't have a word for brain back then... about 2000 years ago and more since there were no brain surgeouns around nor psychologists for that matter. They were all peasants back then except the royals of course. No technology.

So the forehead is a good enough description for the brain... since they didn't have nor need that word in their vocabulary.

And one doesn't need to be a brainiac to understand this.

 

[TokiEl]

It could also be in the brain yes, we don't know. One could argue the bible would say "In your head" if they meant brain but we don't know yet.

Strong's G2776 - kephalē (head) is used literally or figuratively in an external sense.

Strong's G3359 - metōpon (forehead) is used literally or figuratively in an internal sense.


So forehead implies either a spiritual sense and/or the brain. And if you have been watching as you are commanded to do... you ought to know very well that implantable microchip is the next big thing.

Oh yeah, heard about inplantable waaay back. But the RFID wont need to be inplanted due to you just put it under the skin. So in case of no arms you get it udner your skin, no need for complicated brain surgery.

I don't know how complicated it is to connect a chip to the brain for digital two way communications... i just think such tech might override the soul. And that's the end of free will. Think drone or cyborg... no more human.

Good point. Its said it'll change the DNA somehow aswell.

 

[TokiEl]

It might...but to become a controllable drone is bad enough.

 

[Vixy]

Interesting. This guy means the mark is a NAME and that the name counts out to be 666. Numerology then so the chip will have a name in it.

Try watching Amazon Prime's The Feed. It's about that. People willingly signing up to let some human with technology play God in their heads. Sick. And the glitches turn certain humans into killers and/or self-mutilators. Also shows how teens and adults addicted to the Internet or the feed become totally unable to cope in reality.

Trash TV changed our culture in just one generation.

What was for centuries looked down upon and even forbidden is now the new normal.

Therefore those who do not conform to this new way of life are seen as obstacles to progress.

Closet homosexuals in positions of power made lgbtq+ the law of the land.

That is an incredibly ignorant and homophobic/anti bi and pansexual “opinion” that you posted. You CLAIM “t.v. is (trash) NOW, in this day and age due to solely the “closet homosexuals in positions of power?!” Oh really? I think your wrong. Remember the “Jerry Springer Show?” I do. That show definitely did NOT star a LGBT woman or man as the host! Seriously, what planet have YOU been on lately? Television and films that were created by heterosexuals (I’m speaking about MEN only, because males are power and control freaks and dominate EVERY single industry, so women are not able to be in charge of putting together a t.v. show or film (the entertainment industry HAS changed for the better and became more inclusive of women and gay male directors, producers, etc).. I personally think that LGBT people have fabulously creative minds, and are responsible for making many fab t.v. shows and films. Heterosexual men are usually the degenerates who make trashy, ridiculous shows like Family Guy, Married With Children, Maury Povitch, and just COUNTLESS really sexist, misogynistic, anti LGBT, violent, crude, immature, offensive, racist, lame, ageist films!! Blaming LGBT individuals for “trashy t.v.” is totally wrong. I’ve never, ever met a gay man who would be excited and enthusiastic about financing a film written by a heterosexual man in which a young woman is drugged, raped and then murdered, and gay men are beaten up and humiliated by a violent gang of heterosexual men! Most homosexual men are much, much more intelligent, creative, sensitive, and thoughtful than that!

Uhm.. "Anti LBGTQ"..or whatever its called.. You ARE aware of that homosexuality in ALL its forms it an abomination against god? If you in any way shape or form is for this, why are you in this thread? The bible speaks clearly of not having any of such people within the congregation or among us or it is to be considered unclean so if you are pro this, I will respectfully have to ask you to leave. And please repent before it's too late! Noone makes the decision of going against God than yourself. Don't choose to live without him, choose him!

"Ageist" . . . Lol, yup, troll confirmed.

If you take the mark, you can't repent anymore. Same thing with selling your soul. God says that if any man takes the mark on his right hand or on his forehead, he, himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God which is pulled out full strength into the cup of his indignation. Taking the mark means you've officially given up yourself to satan, also the same thing if you sell your soul. All sellouts will also be taking the mark. Those who take the mark are too caught up in trying to get what they need to continue living seeing as if you don't take it, you either starve to death, or you get beheaded for your faith. I'll give you the scriptures if you'd like.

The "mark of the beast" in someone's forehead could refer to some eventual physical mark, but spiritually it is a direct reference to what we have in our minds. If we believe the LIE that "we are only human (a beast) after all", then Satan has already won, and we have given up our divinity. If, on the other hand, we realize that we are immortal spiritual Beings (Souls) that are only temporarily "locked" inside of these human-animal bodies/beasts, then there is hope.

"That which is born of the flesh is flesh/human/carnal/beast; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit (a spirit-"Being"/Soul)" - John 3:6.

We are told to pray incessantly (1 Thess. 5:17), which is to say we should be consulting with God on everything all the time, via His Holy Spirit, so we can have His Guidance on everything 24/7/365. The small, still voice inside of everyone's minds that is telling us what the right thing is to do in the moment.

For reference, the Holy Spirit is NOT some third character in a pagan Roman 3=1 deity; the Holy Spirit is Father's SPIRITUAL connection to each of us, whereby we can receive guidance and wisdom from Him at any and all times, and ask Him questions, as well as convey His Truth and Wisdom to others. Simply put, the Holy Spirit is the GOOD Voice inside of everyone's minds, telling us what the right thing is to do in every situation, should we choose to listen.

This connection with Father is a GIFT, which is measured out to each of us based upon our willingness to accept Father's Word, which is THE TRUTH. The more open and accepting one is to Father's Word (Faith), the more of Father's Holy Spirit—and with it His Wisdom and Understanding—is bestowed upon us. Alternatively, the less accepting one is, the less of that gift is received.

The same goes for the "mark of the beast" in someone's hands. Yes, it could eventually refer to a physical mark, or an embedded RFID chip, but spiritually it refers to what we do with our hands, which are controlled by our minds. If our minds are filled with thoughts of this world, e.g. mammon/money/materialism, then we have already taken the "mark of the beast" in our minds/foreheads and in our hands.

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and materialism.

If, on the other hand, we humble ourselves, recognize that the reason the world is in the awful mess that it's in is the direct result of our continued refusal to obey God (beginning with His COMMANDments), and we have the courage and moral fortitude to help remake the world in His Kingdom, beginning with ourselves, everything will be okay.

Unfortunately, most have grossly underestimated the power and influence of Satan, who is currently running this world through his governments, organized religions and legal systems, ALL of which are against God's Law, and all of which have now brought this world to the brink of WW3.

Pansexual ? What is that ?

Why do you think lgbtq+ has become the law of the land ? It's because the elite (who also produce TV and movies) were always lgbtq+ !

Thanks for your explanation, I like how detailed you are. Though, I will have to disagree. God specifically gives people during the tribulation a choice to submit to him, or take the mark. You take the mark, you are condemned. There is no hope for those with the mark in this world, or in the world (lake of fire) to come. You either starve, or get beheaded for your faith in Jesus, or you accept the mark FROM SATAN, and you endure Gods wrath upon those with it. "For if any man receives a mark on his hand, or on his forehead, he himself, shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is pulled out full strength into the cup of his indignation."

There's two parts of the tribulation. The first 3/5 years are steady, until they start enforcing the mark of the beast, which personally I believe will happen during the 2nd year, or 3rd year. This is true, because the remaining years are then Gods wrath upon those with the mark. Did you ever study the verses about the 7 bowls? Each angel will pour a bowl of Gods wrath, different punishments, upon the entire earth. Who will be protected? Only the 144,000 which are a separate group of people on earth; Gods people. Let me explain there's 3 groups of people. The Church, (Rapture) the tribulation saints (Die for their faith) and the 144,000 Israelites.

Near when his wrath occurs, the only people remaining on earth will be the anti christ, the beast, the ones with the mark and the 144,000 whom God will protect the 144,000 by sending his cherubs to seal his name on their foreheads. If you got the mark, and you still had hope, then why would God only protect the remaining of his people, AND talk about punishments to those who have not repented via those with the mark? Yeah, they're condemned.

God already chose his people. Everybody else will be condemned, and I don't say this out of pride or selfishness but of the truth. Some people as we speak ARE Gods people, but they just find out LATER hence why the tribulation saints die for their faith, because they weren't ready to accept Christ back then, so they do it during that time. Also, the tribulation saints die for their faith not only because of their faith, but because they knew better than to accept the mark. If you accept the mark, you're forced to renounce Christ, and it's game over for you. That's why each person who dies for Christ never ever ever took the mark, they knew better and they had the Holy Spirit in them.

So what about the "Cannot buy or sell without it" part? We cannot buy or sell if our thoughts are evil? nah, I believe the chip is the RFID one. I'm with Faith on this one. Personally I look forward to be beheaded for him. My whole life has lead up to this.
