What tense does your REB render it in? Post Psalm 18:7 in its entirety.
It is in present tense:
Psalms 18:7 The earth shook and quaked, the foundations of the mountains trembled, shaking because of His anger.
This does not refer to a localized event, proved in the context. It awaits fulfilment and it will be the Day of the Lord's vengeance and wrath against all the nations, that will change the world and set the scene for all the end times prophesied things to happen.

We stand shoulder to shoulder on the 'rapture to heaven' issue. A Satanic lie that many have fallen for, to their discredit and shame.

Glad we agree on the rapture, keras.

Your REB is past tense. If it were present tense, it would read:
The earth shakes and quakes, the foundations of the mountains tremble, shaking because of His anger.

But past or present doesn't particularly matter either way. What is significant is that it is not future.

You have yet to see whether the Pre-trib Rapture is right or not so why dont you show a little respect instead of throwing such conceited words. they're all your brothers and sisters arent they.

Jared Kushner is a man that I'm keeping an eye on as a possible candidate for the Antichrist. .

Antichrist will make a 7 years Peace Deal between Israel-Arab which is actually to split the land in two states solution which is an agenda being pushed now. Will the Jews surrender?

Antichrist will win Fake Global Peace here and there when he is launched by the 1st seal opening, which indicates there will be wars here and there in the world be4 it happens.

May Jesus bless you all HalleluYAH

If they go with the one state solution, it'll unite Israel and Palestine but by doing so it will allow the ever increasing Palestinian population to be able to use Israel's democracy against them. If they go with the two state solution, it will lead to Israel having indefensible borders. Either way, it's going to be a problem unless they have an absolute guarantee that Israel will have some form of protection.

You give them shelter, they will ask for the land
You give them the land, they will ask for a nation
You give them a nation, they will attack and kill you all

It is sad that so many like you will be taken by surprise when the Lord does arise and destroy those attackers of Israel, Psalms 83:1-18, Micah 4:11-12, plus change all the world, on the Day He sends fire from the sun.
Very unfortunate that Christians are so complacent, while governments and secular people are busy preparing for the coming Doomsday. Deuteronomy 32:34-35

I look forward to meeting all of you Christians in the holy Land, as scripture says in many prophesies. There is just no scripture that says God intends to take any living person to heaven in these last days.
I an not conceited, I just point out the Bible truth and refute fables.

Actually, the book of Revelation mentions drugs, in the Greek.

Revelation 9:20-21
The word "sorceries" in the Greek, is "pharmakia."
It means "medicines."

Now, of course, God doesn't mind if we use medicine. The Bible talks good about medicine, in most places.
But in the end-times, there will be a kind of "medication" that is sinful.... and it's here.

How is taking drugs witchcraft?

Probably because back then they needed drugs (like magic mushrooms) to have 'visions' from the spiritual realm or use them in certain pagan rituals.

Keep in mind that these prophecies were written a very long time ago and the authors were trying to describe a society that seemed unfathomable to them.

Isn't taking drugs demonic even without intent to do rituals?

Peter is referring to the Sixth Seal. A worldwide disaster that will be the next prophesied event we can expect. 2 Peter 3:7 says it again and there are over 100 prophesies that vividly detail this forthcoming terrible world changer. A reset of our civilization to a similar degree as in the days of Noah.
Note it happens before the glorious Return of Jesus. In fact it must be at least 7 years before, probably about 20 years, as the Seventh Seal tells us. [a half hour in heaven is 1/48th of a day, so 1/48th of 1000 earth years; Psalms 90:4, 2 Peter 3:8, is 20.8 years]



Peter is referring to the spirt coming at pentecost, nothing more nothing less.
The sun darkening and moon turning to blood is symbolic of a "great day" a turning point, A day of the lord. Its referred to many times during a fall of an empire, or a turning event. Its not about the end of the world.

You give them the land, they will ask for a nation
You give them a nation, they will attack and kill you all

Then convert them. Convert or be converted...the law of the jungle of this world.

I do not claim to know the day of the rapture and I do not know the hour.

I do.

The Fig Tree IS going to shed it's Winter Fruit when it gets shaken by a Mighty Wind. :)

The moon will transition Jupiter soon. The moon and Jupiter will appear to meet very very soon.

The time of night and where in the sky it can be seen is interesting.

What's the big deal about the time of night and where in the sky it can be seen?

I don't see anything.

What does You Tube say this time?

Down by the river on a Friday night
Pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout Women
Never had a plan, just a livin' for the minute.

T minus 10 minutes to::::

Peaceful Sabbath Rest

Yee Haw :)

Specific prophesies like the sun darkening and the moon blood red, are not symbolic of anything. They are things that can and will happen on their Appointed Day.
But, yes, they are not the end of the world, just TEOTWAWKI.

So I'm just taking a break from watching the transit. Looks nice. The weather's fine where I am. I could see Jupiter below the moon even while the sky was blue, just at dusk. I've got a fire going in the pit but the moon is so bright that it's hurting mt eyes.

I guess it's because of Pentecost. Is that why you think it's interesting? Israel's Pentecost was last Wednesday. Our Churches are celebrating it on Sunday.

Still, it wasn't a bad idea. A Jupiter/Lunar transit on Pentecost. I was never a Feast guy though. I wonder when the real Pentecost is?

It's good to keep your eyes open.

And I just noticed my post is #420, a "third" of 1260. That's the exact number of days from when Jupiter exits the body of Virgo and is then joined in conjunction with Venus, until the sun is "darkened" and then the moon will not give her light.

These numbers are catching my eye.
