The raw truth about what is, and what is to come. I invite you to view our 4-minute video, and I ask the question: Are we in the last of the last days?

Sin is like rust on a car! At first, you notice a spot of rust but 99% of your vehicle is still intact. You may not think much of that one spot of rust. You may even become desensitized to it, and so you let it go. But left alone it will consume your entire vehicle.

Sin is moral debt to God. As the years go by, the debt grows and grows... The world has spiraled out of control. Much of the world's population has become desensitized to the level of moral indiscretions and has no fear of God. Sadly, you can see this same attitude in many of our churches... we have no fear of God!

How much longer do you think God is going to let this go on? Sinful humanity is on a collision course with the Almighty - but they don't know what they don't know! What is our excuse for sin in the church? I believe we are in the last of the last days. Upon viewing the video, what do you think?

I tried watching the video both in this forum, at youtube and in another browser, but the video would not load.

The last days began with the death and resurrection of Christ. So, yes, we are in the last days. Are we in the final moments of the last days? I don't know. There are many prophecies that need to come to pass. The gospel needs to be shared all over the world. The temple seems to need rebuilding in Jerusalem. Apathy and a great falling away by the church seems to be the present case. The anti-christ needs to be revealed and as yet has not been. However, the technology for the mark of the beast is rapidly increasing. So, we are close, but it may well be the next generation that sees the second coming of Christ.

Curious, we just checked the embedded video and on our YouTube and it plays fine. Not sure what's going on.

I agree with you. The last days did begin with the resurrection of Christ. And yes, you are right, there are prophecies yet to be fulfilled. But with everything moving along at lightning speed, much can happen in a very short period of time. Come, Lord Jesus, come.

I believe so. At this point I suppose all we can do is pray for the mercy of God upon all of us poor sinners, us children without understanding who "know not what we do". Hope beyond hope that it all unfolds into beautiful.

agree, we are definitely in the last days of the last days. Everything that is happening is setting the stage for the revealing.
Like a snowballrolling downhill it starts small.
but as time passes those snowballs tend to get larger and roll faster down the hill.
by now there are multiple snowballs, each rolling at their own pace and in their own direction, but it won't be long now before they start to converge on one path.

the players are set
the stage is ready
and the lights are on.

From The Prophecy That Is Shaping History
Ezekiel Chapter 38:1 evaluates the major interpretive options of the Gog prophecy and demonstrates that a fairly literal interpretation best fits the evidence, viz., that in the future a coalition of identifiable nations from all points of the compass—though principally from the “farthest parts of the north”—will invade a Land of Israel to which the people of Israel have been recently regathered. The data show that, apart from Magog, all nations on Ezekiel’s list have clear referents in the area—particularly Rosh. One important finding is that Ezekiel’s Rosh clearly lent its name to the modern state of Russia. Despite the popular American acceptance of Russia’s End Time destiny as they believed Ezekiel foretold it, most modern biblical scholarship generally views this scenario as an absurdity. However, President Reagan’s view of Ezekiel’s prophecy was not limited, however, to shaping America’s relations with Russia; it also influenced his relationship with other nations. Apparently represented by the nations of “Paras, Cush and Put” (Ezekiel 38:5). J. Simons, Geographical and Topographical Texts of the Old Testament (Leiden: E. J. Brill, 1959), ad loc. He believed, for example, that the Arab nations of the Middle East would participate in the End Time invasion of Israel. On this basis he also correctly predicted the fall of Ethiopia26 into the orbit of Communism. Moreover, the same prophecy may have shaped the President’s relations with Libya—a nation he saw (in Ezekiel 38:5, under the name “Put”) allied with Ezekiel’s Rosh against Israel. In April, 1986, American and British aircraft attacked Benghazi and Tripoli (almost killing Libyan President Ghadafi) [Which we now know that he was later killed] in retaliation for the deaths of several American military personnel killed in the bombing of a discotheque in Germany by Libyan terrorists. Also Robertson remains convinced that Ezekiel 38-39 will be fulfilled by the invasion of Israel by Russia.
Just two verses after the passage being debated, Ezekiel lists three nations, and the list follows the same pattern as “Rosh [no AND] Meshech AND Tubal,” above: “Paras [no AND] Cush, AND Put” (38:5). Ezekiel 27 substantiates the fact that these names were real nations whose identity could be traced far into the future—that is, toward the fulfillment of Ezekiel’s prophecy. This list, which portrays commercial activity in the 6th century BCE, includes five of the names on the war list in Ezekiel 38 (Paras, Put, Meshech, Tubal, and Beth Togarmah).
The astonishing rise of pandemic Islamic fundamentalism, with its anti-Semitism and a hatred of the restored Land of Israel as central tenets, has already linked remote countries in coordinated action, as the Muslim invasions and attempted invasions of Israel in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982, and 2000 to the present, demonstrate. Today, the nations occupying the territories of Ezekiel’s prophecy (Paras, Cush, and Put) are, respectively, Iran,57 Sudan, and Libya—precisely the “peripheral” nations that commentators insisted could not be associated. Significantly, these three Arab nations are on record as being the most vociferously anti-Zionist of the Arab world. They also represent the most aggressive Islamic states in their training and export of terrorism worldwide. Iran (Ezekiel’s Paras/Persia) underwent an Islamic revolution at the end of the 1970s that reoriented the country against the West—whom Arabs call “the Crusaders”—and against Israel.82 Libya (Ezekiel’s Put) follows the radical Islamic agenda of its leader, Mu‛mmar Qadhafi, [Now overthrown and dead] and represents a major player within Islamic extremism.83 These days, the Islamic government of (northern) Sudan (Ezekiel’s Cush) is waging a brutal war against the Christian and animist Sudanese in the southern part of the country, killing them by the tens and hundreds of thousands a year, selling prisoners into slavery, and compelling young girls to marry Muslim men, thereby forcing their conversion and genital mutilation. So we now see a remarkable and intimate association of three radical Islamic states which are committed to one goal: the annihilation of Israel, and are the very countries Ezekiel said would ultimately strive mightily toward this purpose (cf. Psalm 83:1-8a). In both ancient and modern Hebrew, Paras is the name of Iran/Persia. This alone should put a stop to argument. However, Ezekiel himself describes an earlier alliance of Paras, Lud (Lydia) and Put (North Africa) in 27:10. Moreover, There is no alternative nation known from this period that could assume the name, “Paras,” and, the location of Paras as Persia in the east, preserves the image of allied nations attacking Israel from every possible direction.
The HAMAS Charter cites the Hadith [official book of Islamic doctrine] on the Day of Judgment in the following terms: “The Last Hour would not come until Muslims fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them, and until the Jews would hide themselves
behind a stone or a tree, and a stone or a tree would say, ‘Muslim, oh Servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me—come and kill him!’” Certainly, the other invading nations—Paras (today’s Iran, whose name in modern Hebrew remains Paras), Cush (now northern, Muslim Sudan, just south of modern Egypt on the Nile), and Put (associated with modern Libya)—represent the other three limited “four corners” of the then-known earth, if, indeed, that was the intent of the passage. In today’s small world, these nations are hardly out of Israel’s neighborhood. The Nations Involved: The Gog prophecy begins with God calling
Ezekiel to express an oracle against a specific list of nations which we have already identified in the previous chapters: the northern nations, Gog of the land of Magog, Rosh, Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, Togarmah—all from the north—[after the Russian takeover of Syria] with other nations which perhaps represent the other three areas of the earth: Persia (the area of Iran) in the east, Cush (northern, Muslim Sudan) from the south, and Put (the area of Libya) from the west—all indicating a globally-based invasion. Still other nations, that seem to agree with the invasion, or at least do not oppose it, are similarly located: Sheba (Yemen), Dedan (area of Saudi Arabia), and Tarshish (far west) with all its “merchants” (Heb. socharey Tarshish)—an “economic union”). All of these will be driven by greed and envy (38:12,13; 39:10).

The last days started as the servants of God began testifying to the knowledge of God 2,000 years ago. As soon as the Gospel of God has accomplished it's mission to reveal the Tree of Life, then the day of the Lord happens soon afterwards. The Tree of Life was revealed one month ago so now we'll wait until the earth starts to shake violently. It's already beginning it's wobble and lots of earthquakes but that's nothing compared to what the day of the Lord will be like. It will only take one hour from the time the earth starts to shake violently until everything man built with his human hands have been destroyed and all the inhabitants on earth have perished. Then MAN and GOD will be freed from the enemies called Satan and the Beast.

Revelation 18
10: they will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, "Alas! alas! thou great city, thou mighty city, Babylon! In one hour has thy judgment come."
11: And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo any more,
12: cargo of gold, silver, jewels and pearls, fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet, all kinds of scented wood, all articles of ivory, all articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble,
13: cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.
14: "The fruit for which thy soul longed has gone from thee, and all thy dainties and thy splendor are lost to thee, never to be found again!"
15: The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,
16: "Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, bedecked with gold, with jewels, and with pearls!
17: In one hour all this wealth has been laid waste." And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off
18: and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, "What city was like the great city?"
19: And they threw dust on their heads, as they wept and mourned, crying out, "Alas, alas, for the great city where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! In one hour she has been laid waste.
20: Rejoice over her, O heaven, O saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against her!"
21: Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "So shall Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and shall be found no more;
22: and the sound of harpers and minstrels, of flute players and trumpeters, shall be heard in thee no more; and a craftsman of any craft shall be found in thee no more; and the sound of the millstone shall be heard in thee no more;
23: and the light of a lamp shall shine in thee no more; and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall be heard in thee no more; for thy merchants were the great men of the earth, and all nations were deceived by thy sorcery.
24: And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on earth."

Zephaniah 1
18: Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of the LORD. In the fire of his jealous wrath, all the earth shall be consumed; for a full, yea, sudden end he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.

How much longer do you think God is going to let this go on?

Less than a year. Something should happen this year.

Sinful humanity is on a collision course with the Almighty - but they don't know what they don't know!

Just like in the days of Noah, just as it was in the days of Lot.

What is our excuse for sin in the church?

None is required. We should be virgins, not defiled by woman. All corporate religion can now find a home somewhere in the seven heads of the composite beast from Revelation 13.

I believe we are in the last of the last days.

I do too. I think that we're living in the final minutes of a delay that was created when the 5th angel from Revelation 7 spoke the word "until':

“Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”

Upon viewing the video, what do you think?

I generally don't watch the videos that I have to read text from, but yours was only 4 minutes long so I did read your video. Most people don't seem to notice the moral decay that we've slipped into or even care that it matters. I think that you've found the abomination of desolation without knowing it.

I was in a large Canadian bank last summer where they had 3 big flat screen televisions that were playing their corporate commercials. One of the segments included their endorsement of the LGBT community which even displayed a list of the upcoming gay pride parades:


PrideCamp_Banner.jpg

The commercial features a circular rainbow emblem with various slogans like "forever proud" and "we're proud of our rainbow". It felt weird standing there in a major banking institution watching the homosexual couples smiling and hugging each other on the bank's own TV commercial. I felt so strange and alienated there. I couldn't believe my eyes, I thought that I was going to pass out. Like, am I the only one that thinks this is wrong? I'm about to turn 55, is this just the beginning of the old guy syndrome approaching? I don't think so.

"And at the latter end of their kingdom,
when the transgressors have reached their limit,
a king of bold face, one who understands riddles, shall arise.


"In the latter part of their reign,
when rebels have become completely wicked,
a fierce-looking king, a master of intrigue, will arise.


Think of it like the "abomination that makes desolate" is when the "transgressors have reached their limit". Notice a Divine "limit to transgression", it's the kingdom of the transgressors not the kingdom of Alexander's 4 horns anymore. This is not talking about a specific nation or kingdom, but instead has shifted to our appointed time of the end and is referring to the prevailing number or group of world wide transgressing individuals.

"When rebels have become completely wicked", used to make me think there would be wild gunfights in the streets and mass murder shootings every day. That's how I thought the end of the world would look like when I first read Daniel 8 back in the day of my youth. But here we are now and the rebels have become completely wicked in a subtle way that I wouldn't have imagined and they are now condoned by the mainstream establishment. And guess what? If I were to open my mouth and complain about it in there, I would be the one looked at as the bad guy. The gentiles are starting to trample on the holy city of citizens.

Was it Billy Graham's wife who said something like: "If God doesn't do something soon, He'll owe Sodom and Gomorrah an apology". I feel like I can point at it with a stick, like how Babe Ruth did it. Any day now, it's almost here. When you can walk into a financial institution and be presented with 3 flat screen TVs of a major bank validating the lifestyle of the sodomites, we won't have to wait much longer.


"If God doesn't soon bring judgment upon America, He'll have to go back and apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah!" - Ruth Graham

The Intended Victim: The People of the Lord in the Land of Israel
Most of what you have rolled out in your discourse is becoming general knowledge among those who follow end-time prophecy. These things must happen just as they have been spoken by the prophets. But why? Are they not for the purposes of meting out God's judgment? These things must come as a result of the unrelenting nature of sin, disobedience, rebellion, ungodliness and unbelief. Sin warrants a response from a holy God. The response is God's judgment upon the earth, thus the unfolding of end-time prophecy before our very eyes.

I suppose the posting of my original comment and video was an attempt to draw one's attention to the issue of sin, that will, in the end, bring about the outpouring of God's wrath. Are we very near to those days?

It felt weird standing there in a major banking institution watching the homosexual couples smiling and hugging each other on the bank's own TV commercial. I felt so strange and alienated there. I couldn't believe my eyes, I thought that I was going to pass out. Like, am I the only one that thinks this is wrong? I'm about to turn 55, is this just the beginning of the old guy syndrome approaching? I don't think so.

"And at the latter end of their kingdom,
when the transgressors have reached their limit,
a king of bold face, one who understands riddles, shall arise.


"In the latter part of their reign,
when rebels have become completely wicked,
a fierce-looking king, a master of intrigue, will arise.


Think of it like the "abomination that makes desolate" is when the "transgressors have reached their limit". Notice a Divine "limit to transgression", it's the kingdom of the transgressors not the kingdom of Alexander's 4 horns anymore. This is not talking about a specific nation or kingdom, but instead has shifted to our appointed time of the end and is referring to the prevailing number or group of world wide transgressing individuals.

"When rebels have become completely wicked", used to make me think there would be wild gunfights in the streets and mass murder shootings every day. That's how I thought the end of the world would look like when I first read Daniel 8 back in the day of my youth. But here we are now and the rebels have become completely wicked in a subtle way that I wouldn't have imagined and they are now condoned by the mainstream establishment. And guess what? If I were to open my mouth and complain about it in there, I would be the one looked at as the bad guy. The gentiles are starting to trample on the holy city of citizens.

Was it Billy Graham's wife who said something like: "If God doesn't do something soon, He'll owe Sodom and Gomorrah an apology". I feel like I can point at it with a stick, like how Babe Ruth did it. Any day now, it's almost here. When you can walk into a financial institution and be presented with 3 flat screen TVs of a major bank validating the lifestyle of the sodomites, we won't have to wait much longer.


"If God doesn't soon bring judgment upon America, He'll have to go back and apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah!" - Ruth Graham

The Gospel of God has finally revealed what the Tree of Life is last month so the millennium reign of Christ has accomplished it's mission to end the reign. Now we can expect the day of the Lord soon. Below are links to what was revealed to me this past 8 1/2 years while testifying to the knowledge called Christ that reveals all the hidden things from MAN like what the Beast is and why it was needed, who we are IN GOD, how we're created, knowledge about the day of the Lord destruction and how we'll experience life in the next generation called the New Heaven and Earth.

What is the Beast and the Antichrist?
God and you are ONE.

Less than a year. Something should happen this year
I agree with this.
But 'something'? We should know what God has planned for the last Days. 1 Thessalonians 5:4
There is plenty of prophecy about it all. Revelation gives the best sequence, the 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets and 7 Bowls. It is plain from history, that the first five Seals are open; since Jesus ascended to heaven. Revelation 5:5 But it is also plain that the Sixth Seal remains to be opened, it is the next prophesied event we can expect.
Many OT prophesies say the Lord will act when His enemies attack the holy Land. Psalms 11:4-6, Psalms 83, Deuteronomy 32:41-43, and Iran is mentioned in Jeremiah 49:35-38, also Zechariah 5:1-11 describes the nuke missiles that Iran will attempt to fire at Israel. They will explode on the launch pad and destroy themselves. Psalms 7:12-15, Obadiah 1:15, Joel 3:4
Great will be the Day of the Lord's wrath and the world will never be the same again.

Given this passage I think it should be clear where we are:

Mark 13:29 In the same way, when you see all these things taking place, you can know that his return is very near, right at the door

Most of what you have rolled out in your discourse is becoming general knowledge among those who follow end-time prophecy. But why? Are they not for the purposes of meting out God's judgment? diane.
God's purpose is to establish His Kingdom here on earth. He must eradicate al bad and evil before He can do that. The is no place in His Kingdom for murderers such as Islam and Muslems.
1 John 3:15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
Hebrews 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for He hath prepared for them a city.
Hebrews 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Zephaniah 3:16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
Deuteronomy 7:10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

Yes I believe we are in the last of the last days.The increase in wickedness, the increase in earthquakes and volcano eruptions, the increase in fireballs falling from the sky, the weird weather, the increase in activity of our sun and other signs in the heavens, all point to a cataclysmic convergence. The Earth is full of iniquity. Our Holy Heavenly Father will act soon imho.

That is why Regan consulted with Billy Graham. From The Prophecy That Is Shaping History
Ezekiel Chapter 38:1 evaluates the major interpretive options of the Gog prophecy and demonstrates that a fairly literal interpretation best fits the evidence, viz., that in the future a coalition of identifiable nations from all points of the compass—though principally from the “farthest parts of the north”—will invade a Land of Israel to which the people of Israel have been recently regathered. The data show that, apart from Magog, all nations on Ezekiel’s list have clear referents in the area—particularly Rosh. One important finding is that Ezekiel’s Rosh clearly lent its name to the modern state of Russia. Despite the popular American acceptance of Russia’s End Time destiny as they believed Ezekiel foretold it, most modern biblical scholarship generally views this scenario as an absurdity. However, President Reagan’s view of Ezekiel’s prophecy was not limited, however, to shaping America’s relations with Russia; it also influenced his relationship with other nations. Apparently represented by the nations of “Paras, Cush and Put” (Ezekiel 38:5). J. Simons, Geographical and Topographical Texts of the Old Testament (Leiden: E. J. Brill, 1959), ad loc. He believed, for example, that the Arab nations of the Middle East would participate in the End Time invasion of Israel. On this basis he also correctly predicted the fall of Ethiopia26 into the orbit of Communism. Moreover, the same prophecy may have shaped the President’s relations with Libya—a nation he saw (in Ezekiel 38:5, under the name “Put”) allied with Ezekiel’s Rosh against Israel. In April, 1986, American and British aircraft attacked Benghazi and Tripoli (almost killing Libyan President Ghadafi) [Which we now know that he was later killed] in retaliation for the deaths of several American military personnel killed in the bombing of a discotheque in Germany by Libyan terrorists. Also Robertson remains convinced that Ezekiel 38-39 will be fulfilled by the invasion of Israel by Russia.
Just two verses after the passage being debated, Ezekiel lists three nations, and the list follows the same pattern as “Rosh [no AND] Meshech AND Tubal,” above: “Paras [no AND] Cush, AND Put” (38:5). Ezekiel 27 substantiates the fact that these names were real nations whose identity could be traced far into the future—that is, toward the fulfillment of Ezekiel’s prophecy. This list, which portrays commercial activity in the 6th century BCE, includes five of the names on the war list in Ezekiel 38 (Paras, Put, Meshech, Tubal, and Beth Togarmah).
The astonishing rise of pandemic Islamic fundamentalism, with its anti-Semitism and a hatred of the restored Land of Israel as central tenets, has already linked remote countries in coordinated action, as the Muslim invasions and attempted invasions of Israel in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982, and 2000 to the present, demonstrate. Today, the nations occupying the territories of Ezekiel’s prophecy (Paras, Cush, and Put) are, respectively, Iran,57 Sudan, and Libya—precisely the “peripheral” nations that commentators insisted could not be associated. Significantly, these three Arab nations are on record as being the most vociferously anti-Zionist of the Arab world. They also represent the most aggressive Islamic states in their training and export of terrorism worldwide. Iran (Ezekiel’s Paras/Persia) underwent an Islamic revolution at the end of the 1970s that reoriented the country against the West—whom Arabs call “the Crusaders”—and against Israel.82 Libya (Ezekiel’s Put) follows the radical Islamic agenda of its leader, Mu‛mmar Qadhafi, [Now overthrown and dead] and represents a major player within Islamic extremism.83 These days, the Islamic government of (northern) Sudan (Ezekiel’s Cush) is waging a brutal war against the Christian and animist Sudanese in the southern part of the country, killing them by the tens and hundreds of thousands a year, selling prisoners into slavery, and compelling young girls to marry Muslim men, thereby forcing their conversion and genital mutilation. So we now see a remarkable and intimate association of three radical Islamic states which are committed to one goal: the annihilation of Israel, and are the very countries Ezekiel said would ultimately strive mightily toward this purpose (cf. Psalm 83:1-8a). In both ancient and modern Hebrew, Paras is the name of Iran/Persia. This alone should put a stop to argument. However, Ezekiel himself describes an earlier alliance of Paras, Lud (Lydia) and Put (North Africa) in 27:10. Moreover, There is no alternative nation known from this period that could assume the name, “Paras,” and, the location of Paras as Persia in the east, preserves the image of allied nations attacking Israel from every possible direction.
The HAMAS Charter cites the Hadith [official book of Islamic doctrine] on the Day of Judgment in the following terms: “The Last Hour would not come until Muslims fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them, and until the Jews would hide themselves
behind a stone or a tree, and a stone or a tree would say, ‘Muslim, oh Servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me—come and kill him!’” Certainly, the other invading nations—Paras (today’s Iran, whose name in modern Hebrew remains Paras), Cush (now northern, Muslim Sudan, just south of modern Egypt on the Nile), and Put (associated with modern Libya)—represent the other three limited “four corners” of the then-known earth, if, indeed, that was the intent of the passage. In today’s small world, these nations are hardly out of Israel’s neighborhood. The Nations Involved: The Gog prophecy begins with God calling
Ezekiel to express an oracle against a specific list of nations which we have already identified in the previous chapters: the northern nations, Gog of the land of Magog, Rosh, Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, Togarmah—all from the north—[after the Russian takeover of Syria] with other nations which perhaps represent the other three areas of the earth: Persia (the area of Iran) in the east, Cush (northern, Muslim Sudan) from the south, and Put (the area of Libya) from the west—all indicating a globally-based invasion. Still other nations, that seem to agree with the invasion, or at least do not oppose it, are similarly located: Sheba (Yemen), Dedan (area of Saudi Arabia), and Tarshish (far west) with all its “merchants” (Heb. socharey Tarshish)—an “economic union”). All of these will be driven by greed and envy (38:12,13; 39:10).

Just like in the days of Noah, just as it was in the days of Lot.



None is required. We should be virgins, not defiled by woman. All corporate religion can now find a home somewhere in the seven heads of the composite beast from Revelation 13.



I do too. I think that we're living in the final minutes of a delay that was created when the 5th angel from Revelation 7 spoke the word "until':

“Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”



I generally don't watch the videos that I have to read text from, but yours was only 4 minutes long so I did read your video. Most people don't seem to notice the moral decay that we've slipped into or even care that it matters. I think that you've found the abomination of desolation without knowing it.

I was in a large Canadian bank last summer where they had 3 big flat screen televisions that were playing their corporate commercials. One of the segments included their endorsement of the LGBT community which even displayed a list of the upcoming gay pride parades:

"If God doesn't soon bring judgment upon America, He'll have to go back and apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah!" - Ruth Graham



Gods%20judgement_zps4x8zoicj.jpg
I can appreciate your sentiment.

Oddly enough, I feel compelled to comment on the reference you made to Ruth Graham's statement: "If God doesn't soon bring judgment upon America, He'll have to go back and apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah!" I may be wrong but this comment seems to suggest a lack of reverential fear of the Lord. God is God. He is the Almighty, the only true and everliving God, who knows the end from the beginning. He is the creator of the universe; the maker of the heavens and the earth. He will never apologize for anything, nor does He have to!! This is His universe - He is Yahweh.

I find the comment to be arrogant... just sharing my thoughts.

I tried watching the video both in this forum, at youtube and in another browser, but the video would not load.

The last days began with the death and resurrection of Christ. So, yes, we are in the last days. Are we in the final moments of the last days? I don't know. There are many prophecies that need to come to pass. The gospel needs to be shared all over the world. The temple seems to need rebuilding in Jerusalem. Apathy and a great falling away by the church seems to be the present case. The anti-christ needs to be revealed and as yet has not been. However, the technology for the mark of the beast is rapidly increasing. So, we are close, but it may well be the next generation that sees the second coming of Christ.

Agreed!

I would only add for your consideration that the gospel has been in fact published in all the world IMO. I have been to some very remote places in my work and I can promise you that our Christian missionaries have done a good work all over the world.

I would also say that the original temple was the Tabernacle and it was a TENT. I am not saying the next temple will be a tent, only that the possibility of a temple being put up could take place very quickly, even over night if so needed.

I would also say the Mark of the Beast technology is already in place. Man now has through the UPC Bar Code and the ability to insert chips under the skin so as to be able to trac our movements and allow us to buy and sell goods.

IMO, the Rapture is the next prophetic event and every single thing mentioned in the Revelation can then take place really QUICK.

But that is just me.

Mark 13:29 In the same way, when you see all these things taking place, you can know that his return is very near, right at the door

God Bless All :)

Matthew 24:32-35.........
"Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away."

I know everyone does not agree on this, but IMO May 14, 1948 is THAT day when God established the people back into the Land and that even allowed all of the prophetic signs and events to begin.
