Being on the GT/Eschatology boards is better than any movie
You might come to see that ALL SUCH VIEWERS do have ONE THING in common among them ALL to the very last person...
The are ALL looking for PHYSICAL SIGNS...
And as such, ALL such viewers should be reminded of this:
Matthew 12:39
But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation
seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
Matthew 16:4
A wicked and adulterous generation
seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas.
And he left them, and departed.
The people of ISRAEL were given many signs. One of the 'signs' of Moses, a physical SIGN was in his own hand...
One reach behind the ROBE it was clean...another that it was LEPROUS...
When any man reaches into his own chest, they'll see the sign that was given EXTERNALLY always points WITHIN...where such things can't be SEEN...
People who ask to see EXTERNAL SIGNS are in effect TEMPTING God:
Matthew 16:1
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and
tempting desired
him that he would
shew them a sign from heaven.
In fact if one is LOOKING FOR AN external SIGN...they WILL be provided such...by THESE ENTITIES:
Matthew 24:24
For there shall arise
false Christs, and false prophets, and
shall shew great
signs
Mark 8:12
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith,
Why doth this generation
seek after a sign? verily I say unto you,
There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
You think TEARING DOWN THE PHYSICAL TEMPLE in Jerusalem WAS A SIGN? Nope...the 'real' sign was the unseen sign...the SCATTERING of Gods People throughout the face of the earth...because of what was WITHIN them. That physical sign was there...yes...but the reality WAS the enemies that ISRAEL CARRIED in their FLESH/MINDS was DISBURSED or SEEDED throughout the world. That working was not seen in an external manner. They only see THE PEOPLE and not the ENEMIES within.
Here is an interesting SIGN...for the interested observer...I believe THIS SIGN is still here today...available for those who are seeking Him:
Luke 2:12
And this shall be a
sign unto you;
Ye shall find the babe wrapped
yep...still WRAPPED....
The HEAD of The Son was UNWRAPPED in the GRAVE...
Those who are following Him know that HIS BODY will also be likewise UNWRAPPED, but LATER....the UNWRAPPING of the HEAD was 'separate' from THE BODY...
John 20:7
And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together
in a place by itself.
The body of the BABE is still lying wrapped in the lowliest of our brothers...in the manger. Waiting to be unwrapped.
enjoy!
