Tl:dr. After the first few paragraphs, I realize how ignorant of history you are.I am very series my friend!
I will reclarify to you my claim as per my quote below.....
Please remember, we are discussing the specific context of an Image to the Beast as opposed to the Image of God. There has never been a time, historically speaking that society on a global scale, had imposed an androgynous, genderless and transhumanist law society, with the agenda of destroying the family, changing of the definition of marriage, changing of the definition of gender, changing of the definition of humanity itself.
We are at the cross roads where all the above definitions which are tied to the Image of God, are being attacked globally. I stated previously in post -#52 the following......
The perilious times we are living in, has never before been realised on a global scale. There is being made every attempt at rejecting the Image of God by seeking to replace it with an Image of the Creature/Beast. The Beast Image is emerging and it bears absolutely no ties to God. We are talking about a hijacking of humanity by the enemy who delve into eugenics, who seek to destroy it, because they have always hated it historically speaking, but this time it is different, they no longer want to tame it or quarantine it , rather they want it eradicated forever.
If I can bring to light a quote from Daniel to close of my clarification of what I meant by my claim.....
At that time Michael, the archangel who stands guard over all of humanity, will stand up in defence. Then there will be a time of anguish greater than any since nations first came into existence. But at that time every one of your people whose name is written in the book will be salvaged. 2Many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting disgrace. 3Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever. 4But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase.”
11“From the time the daily sacrifice is stopped and the sacrilegious object that causes desecration is set up to be worshiped, there will be 1,290 days. 12And blessed are those who wait and remain until the end of the 1,335 days!
The sacrilegious object that causes desecration of the Image of God, forfeits the salvation of the cross (daily sacrifice).
Are we here yet!
Very close........
I would live a $5 note for every time I have heard that over the years... I am pretty sure Jesus told us we neither know the day or the hour.
The impression that I get from your remark is as follows...
As Christians we don't know the day or the hour, so that when Jesus does return, we will only know then, because as we are living for today, we will continue to do so, not knowing the nearness of the day or the hour and hence for when he does come, we will all rise up and dumb founded we shall be, as to say....
What happened, where....what.....how....when.....why did you come now, nothing is wrong....what happened.... It has been like this for generations, so what brings you in our neck of the woods on this day and this hour?
The only sense that I can honestly make of your remark, is a case of no urgency, that is to say plot along, continue as your have been, nothing is wrong with the world, so go back to doing what you have been doing.
But what does Jesus say.....
42“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. (Matthew 24:42-44)
Jesus says to have the sense of urgency, by considering that every day you live may turn out to be your last, so........
Live today as if it is your last day. So has not the day or the hour come for that individual who dies today?
Who would in their rationale God given mind preach no urgency, after all what is happening around us? i.e. Homosexuality being promoted, definition of family being destroyed, definition of marriage being destroyed, definition of gender being destroyed, definition of what it is to be human, being destroyed......and more......
Has this historically happened before?
Come on be honest people!
Good point. Do we ignore a stop sign because the closest cop is thought a long ways away? All scripture is of purpose. What purpose is there for ignored signs?People who dismiss the importance of end times observances and predictions are just as foolish as those who say they know the day or the hour. Jesus did say that we do not know the day or the hour, but He also said we will know the season of those times based on the fulfillment of the signs He explicated, that "when you see all these things [listed in Matthew 24], you know that He is near, at the very gates (Matthew 24:33)."
Also, contrary to the reasoning of many about the futility of being watchful for end times fulfillment based on not knowing the day or the hour, it is precisely because we do not know the day or the hour that Jesus said to remain vigilant, to "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour (Matthew 25:13)." Not to mention that end times prophecy is comparable to Messianic prophecy in terms of the volume of content dedicated to disclosing it for our anticipation and reward for wise and accurate (as opposed to zealous and incomplete) observance.
"Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into." (Matthew 24:43)
So you opine, not mine. Good luck proving me wrong. Do you realize that the quoted text explicitly says we should be looking forward to the day?The verse you have quoted does not refer to the Day of Christ that we should be waiting for. Everyone should be terrified to be a living flesh and blood man on the day mentioned in 2 Peter 3:12
If you are going to quote what Jesus said of the matter, quote all of it. Jesus also said we would know the season of his coming.I would live a $5 note for every time I have heard that over the years... I am pretty sure Jesus told us we neither know the day or the hour.
True, but how long have there been books and then computers? Daniel prophesied an increase of knowledge in the end times. The invention of the printing press was the first fulfillment of the prophesy, but the ultimate fulfillment is computers, the internet and Google that places the worlds knowledge at the fingertips of all. Other end times prophecies may be ambiguous and seen throughout history, but this one is without doubt only fulfilled in the last 10 years. The only one up of this is the dire prediction by Elon Musk that AI in robots will soon be smarter, better than humans. I predict God will not allow such a thing and the end will come before we accomplish it. It is an even higher tower than the Tower of Babel.Every period of history has its own immorality. In previous generations we've had Jim Crow laws, Apartheid, slavery, genocide of indigenous peoples, religious wars, persecution of minorities, witch hunts/burnings, crusades, pogroms, serfdom, and much else.
Do you think it possible for the Holy Spirit to come to one and inform him that he would not die before the coming of Jesus? This happened before.Foxes book of Martyrs.... Tabloid News!

They are your words not mine, you don’t even know me and you do not know my commitment to my Lord and Saviour. So kindly keep your incorrect assumptions to yourself.
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Rev. 16:13, 14.
By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation [the United States] will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.
Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience. ..
Papists, Protestants, and worldling will alike accept the form of godliness without the power, and they will see in this union a grand movement for the conversion of the world and the ushering in of the long-expected millennium.
When our nation [the United States] shall so abjure the principles of its government as to enact a Sunday law, Protestantism will in this act join hands with popery; it will be nothing else than giving life to the tyranny which has long been eagerly watching its opportunity to spring again into active despotism.

Do you think it possible for the Holy Spirit to come to one and inform him that he would not die before the coming of Jesus? This happened before.
Do you think that a prophet will come before Jesus, making way for his arrival? This happened before and is prophesied to happen again.

I don’t care what silly impressions you get from what others say, You don’t know me so don’t put your words in my mouth.
If you are going to quote what Jesus said of the matter, quote all of it. Jesus also said we would know the season of his coming.
The truth in the matter is, that I didn't put words in your mouth and in addition you refuse to explain yourself, after much concerted effort on my part to communicate with you from the respect of one human being to another human being.
What more can I say, I guess, I will bear the guilt of the futile exercise in communicating with another human being, my fault.
Have a nice day, I will leave you in peace, because we are not communicating with each other, but rather you are talking down at me on two occasions, without explaining yourself.
Thank you and God forgive both of us.
