  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

That is really amazing. Just a question, "Was the water suppose to be like blood, or literally turn into blood." I mean after all didnt the egyptians mimic blood water?

  1. Revelation 8:7
    The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

  2. Revelation 8:8
    And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;

  3. Revelation 11:6
    These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

I personally see a relation between the Exodus and Revelation.

I can see one reason why YHVH might turn the water to blood:

Exodus 1:22 Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: "Throw all the newborn Israelite boys into the Nile River..."

Exodus 7:17-18 Now the Lord says, "You are going to find out that I am the Lord. Look! I will hit the water of the Nile with this staff, and the river will turn to blood. The fish in it will die, and the river will stink. The Egyptians will not be able to drink any water from the Nile."

I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.

I feel the shame as a gentile, for all the things this world has done to the Jewish people. Nations and peoples have a lot to answer for. Blood for blood.

In the waters that turn to blood red in color, you usually also find that the fish can not survive in it. I see your point, God did declare the way in which we can know it is His. In the three verses, you have something [ what can be made out of fire, hail, and blood?? ] come flying in out of heaven and landing in the water which turns it to blood, or a mountain spewing out blood, although that one volcano spewing red hot lava looks like a geyser of blood, or as the third verse states, the witnesses must call for the water into blood to make a point, and to the best of my knowledge no man has declared and it happened. All I am saying is that with the increased red waters... some of them blue one moment then poof they are red.. does raise the bar on what we have to look forward to ... as we reach the end of days.
