[jaxxman]

its atleast 400 years away if not more

 

[ElijahFalling]

Oh, well thank you for that announcement. Care to explain why you believe this?

 

[JoelParks]

you seem very confused, jaxx... in just reveiwing your posts.

 

[ScottHere]

Man, it's been in the last days since Pentecost.

In the last days, says God, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. {Acts 2:17} NIV.

As for the return of Jesus, I'll just say one thing; look around.

 

[jaxxman]

Im not confused.
im just ranting. it seems that every generation thinks its the last. can you please point to a particular reason why our generation is the last?
I will know it is the last days when a real jewish prophet walks the earth. im not talking talkign about some street corner preacher. i am waiting for elijah to come. i am sure that when elijah comes that there will be proof that he is the real elijah. and in that time there will be no more atheists and agnostics. becuase you see; just as the Old testament elijah and his battle with Ba'al the new elijah will battle the AC. the problem will be is that the AC will be so charming. we will feel attracted to him becuase he represents all that is in a man. we must resist these urges to want to follow him.

Somehow I do not think he9eliaj) will be preaching the christian message we are used to hearing. I think he is a prophet to the jews, and the AC is a prophet to the gentiles. maybe all those gentiles who believed in elijahs message will be killed. while those that accepted the AC will recieve a mark.

I know when elijah shows up i will be in upstate NY helping to prepare a place for us.

the state of Israel being regathered on May 15th, 1948 after nearly 2,000 years of Dispersion.

See Ezekiel 37. Then see Ezekiel 38-39.

Really!

These things happened to them to serve as an example, and they were written down to instruct us, on whom the ends of the ages have come (1 Corinthians 10:11).

God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son (Hebrews 1:1-2).

He was destined before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of the ages for your sake (1 Peter 1:20).

Blessings!
Covenant Heart

If you look at Ezekiel 37, you realize that it hasn't been fulfilled yet.

And I will cut a covenant of peace with them. It shall be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will place them, and multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in their midst forever. And My tabernacle shall be with them. Yea, I will be their God, and they shall be My people. And the nations shall know that I Jehovah sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary shall be in their midst forever.
(Eze 37:26-28)

I am in the middle of a wonderful book by Mark Hitchcock, which says that the prediction of Russia and her allies coming against Israel. All the allies listed way back then are now islamic nations.

Be careful what you read; it's actually pro-zionism that will bring the Antichrist to power.

 

[icedtea]

I don't know about zionism, I am pro God's people, Israel.

 

[jaxxman]

i told you that only a prophet can discern the end times. I will wait for that rather than listen to all of this folly.you should too. your purpose in life is to have the best standing before God as much as possible.

 

[ElijahFalling]

I don't know about zionism, I am pro God's people, Israel.

Yes, but be careful to make the distinction between the people and the country. A country is just an imaginary abstraction, a human construct that doesn't actually exist outside of the inagminations of people. In truth, only people exist.

You can be pro-God's-people, ie, the individuals that they are, but when some says they are for "a country", that's when a red flag should be raised, because it could have other meanings.

 

[icedtea]

Not really. I am "for" America!

 

[ElijahFalling]

Not really. I am "for" America!

Yes, but what is "America" to you? It's people (individuals)? It's laws and politics? It's geographic location? It's economic system? It's images? What are you for?

 

[JoelParks]

i told you that only a prophet can discern the end times. I will wait for that rather than listen to all of this folly.

then you deceive yourself in spite of evidence shown otherwise. God's word was given to us for a guide.

Be a berean and search it out. Don 't be lazy and just ignore it.

 

[JoelParks]

If you look at Ezekiel 37, you realize that it hasn't been fulfilled yet.

verses 26-28, yes.

Have you forgotten the entire preceding chapter which leads up to verses 26-28?

 

[icedtea]

The people, the American system, the fact we belong here. Same for Israel.
Thats almost off topic, really.
I am For the fact that God gave that land (and the 1967 borders) to the Israeli people, not the so called palestinians that were there. There is no Jewish Conspiracy.

 

[ElijahFalling]

What I was getting at was, in truth, there are no "peoples", there are only "persons". Individuals must be looked at individually, after all that is how God judges.

The Antichrist could be a jew, or he could be an Arab, or he could be an American. Heck, he could even be Japanese for all we know. All we know is that he will be a person. The Bible says nothing of his ethnicity. Deciding to support a certain race over another without looking at each person individually is arbitrary and will only make you easier to deceive when the times roll around.

What If The Great Deception Is That Elijah Is The Ac?
