Ah yeah- that is true" rapture".... Thanks for your reply Blessings & Peace-Kwik

Actually, a high proportion of Christians just ignore the Prophesies. To their shame. Or its all too hard to figure out, so whatever comes, will come. But, MOST have the fanciful idea that they will be raptured outta here. They are the ones who will be the most shocked and may think God has failed them.

A very bad man.......look him up....He killed a lot of people locked in Jerusalem. Would not let them escape to the Romans. Burnt up the food supply in the city at one point to force his enemies into submission. Many starved.

@Anne2 Not familiar with him........

Love those kids. So cute.

Revelation 21–22 is the crescendo of the apocalyptic symphony, where judgment gives way to restoration, and the divine narrative culminates in union, renewal, and eternal communion. Here are the main points to consider in apocalyptological reflections: 🌍 1. The New Heaven and New Earth (Rev 21:1) The old order — corrupted by sin and death — has passed away. The Greek word kainos (new) implies renewal rather than total replacement. The absence of the sea symbolizes the removal of chaos and evil. 🏙️ 2. The New Jerusalem Descends (Rev 21:2, 10) Described as a bride adorned for her husband, this city represents the union of God and His people. It descends from heaven, not built by human hands — a divine gift, not human achievement. Its architecture is rich in symbolism: 12 gates (tribes), 12 foundations (apostles), and measurements echoing perfection and holiness. 👑 3. God Dwells with Humanity (Rev 21:3–4) “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man” — a reversal of Eden’s exile. No more death, mourning, crying, or pain — the old order has passed away. This is the ultimate covenant fulfillment: Emmanuel, God with us, forever. 💎 4. The Radiance and Purity of the City (Rev 21:11–27) The city shines with God’s glory, like jasper, clear as crystal. No temple is needed — God and the Lamb are its temple. No sun or moon — the Lamb is its light, and the nations walk by it. 🌊 5. The River and the Tree of Life (Rev 22:1–2) A river of life flows from the throne, echoing Eden and Ezekiel’s temple vision. The Tree of Life bears twelve kinds of fruit, healing the nations — a symbol of restored access to divine life. 🔔 6. No More Curse, Only Worship (Rev 22:3–5) The curse from Genesis is lifted. God’s servants see His face — the ultimate intimacy. They reign forever — co-regency with Christ in the new creation. 🕊️ 7. The Invitation and Final Warning (Rev 22:6–21) “Come!” — the Spirit and the Bride invite all who thirst. A solemn warning not to add or take away from the prophecy. Jesus declares, “I am coming soon” — a call to watchfulness and hope. This vision is not just a future hope but a present anchor — a theological North Star. It’s Eden restored, Babylon undone, and the Lamb enthroned.

I kind of agree with you on Rome... He was one of the leaders fighting for control of the holy city when the temple was destroyed. He killed more of the people there than the Romans. But, he had coins minted, authorized by the interim government, in Jerusalem at the time. I believe they were minted for a little over three years (3.5). Him and his men went into the subterranean tunnels of the temple, to dig their way out to escape the destruction. They ran out of food instead. He startled the Romans when he arose out of the tunnel, where the temple had stood dressed as a Jewish king. I know bar kochba years later also claimed to be Messiah also had coins minted. His showed the temple, with the ark of the covenant inside. His image was a star. sitting above the temple. Due to the star prophesy of Messiah. Nu 24:17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth. I don't know how long his coins were minted. But if it was 3.5 years both of these could correspond to Daniel. Da 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. But most of all to think that the temple did not necessarily be rebuilt to see this. It was on his coins for all to see, and all he claimed concerning himself 2 Thes 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? Mr 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

Why do you ask?

We have both American born and foreign born problem people. Bullies and smart alecs in school that never get discipline or mental health grow up to be the bigger problem. Not so much with the the kids that are willing to learn muchof the time this starts at home with bad parenting left unchecked.

No, ma'am.

I am just curious....have you any knowledge of Simon ben Gioras?

A literal future human man will be (Daniel's, Little Horn) (Paul's, Man Of Sin) (John's, The Beast) a scriptural fact Reformed historicism's doctrine is hiding the identity of this future evil man, with wild claims the future evil human man doesn't exist "Scary"! Daniel's (Little Horn), Paul's (Man Of Sin), And John's (The Beast) A Literal Human Man,, That Will Be Present On This Earth At The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ The figure mentioned above will be a "Future" literal human man, and he will be present on earth in a living human body to witness the "Future" second coming and final judgment as scripture clearly teaches below Daniel's (Little Horn) Present On Earth At The Second Coming Daniel 7:8-11KJV 8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. 9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. 10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. 11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. Paul's (Man Of Sin) Present On Earth At The Second Coming 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8KJV 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: John's (The Beast) Present On Earth At The Second Coming Revelation 19:19-20KJV 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

I didn't say that. I'm the one, out of the two of us, who believes ongoing discussion is actually necessary for the purpose of arriving at the truth of a matter. Why not give me a biblical foundation for your outlook that a proper and biblical understanding of God's word doesn't matter? What do YOU believe the purpose of this forum is?

The funny thing (just a manner of speech) is these Hispanic criminals and sometimes others flee back to Mexico.

So I guess you consider yourself to be the one who decides.

Because if there's no importance to properly interpreting or understanding God's word, what's the point in discussing any of it? Is that what Paul would have said? Is that what Jesus would have said? The laws of logic. Which proves that people need to be taught the proper and biblical understanding. If 16 people give 16 different answers to a question about any given scripture, are we mandated by scripture to accept all 16 conflicting responses and "agree to disagree?" Would Jesus have his Church divided, or united? Will the Holy Spirit guide us into all truth? Or guide 16 people into 16 different truths? To fellowship, discuss, teach and learn. If none of that matters, the forum has no purpose. Personally, I think your outlook is unbiblical. How are we to be ready always to give an answer, if the answer doesn't matter?

@NConly Great verse there; Hebrews 12.2 has a similar idea, about keeping 'looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith'.

Blessings @Keras I'm just wondering why you would think that " most Christians" do not Believe what is Written shall come to pass? You mentioned Isaiah 24th Chapter - I don't know any Believers that do not Believe these things - perhaps it's hard for some to imagine these things or to envision what they've not seen before but surely they Believe it..... I'm just curious about who you speak with or hear from because whomever these folks are that have given you such impressions are not " most' Christians,not Born Again Believers anyway I often wonder why folks have the views they have or make such assumptions- there must be a reason that you think of others as you do- if I may ask out of curiosity Surely the unbelieving world will be in chaos,never having expected the world as they've always known it to become undone and laid to waste but WE have been Told and Understand With love in Christ,Kwik

I believe people like the accused should of and could of been dealt with through out k-12 school. I say that because I have seen it many times.

Happy Canada day to all celebrating.. :) ps. A question (curious).. do yall have BBQ too.. like the americans on July 4th?

The female employee is currently brain dead and is expected to be removed from life support tomorrow.... unless God gives a miracle. The female assistant manager is currently on the run.

Maybe this will help. At the GWTJ, when the dead are seeing if they are going to become 'vanished' from all existence because of what is written in the books...exactly HOW do you think that stuff gets written in there? For EVIL to be sentenced to the 2nd death then THE GOOD are going to have to suffer. BEING a SERVANT of GOD means being there for the evil to do their thing...but God says don't worry about those who kill the body....ever wonder WHY? Because JUDGMENT Day is coming...and those who murder will be killed. Those who lie and steal and cheat are NOT of GOD. Who are they most likely going to lie and steal and cheat? THE easy targets, the ones who don't think like they do, the ones who want all to be good....SO tell those atheists they don't understand because they have never read...they have their own religion based upon their own thoughts based upon words they don't understand. SOMETIMES that is how GOD wants it to protect them...so they can get their names in the book at the end of the Lords Day having missed getting in the book from the foundation.... At least that is what I believe, when I read all that we must suffer...I am happy to do so...and I have found whenever I rejoice when bad things happen to me and I thank the Lord I am being a good servant in that matter, I am given some 'truth' I had either been seeking so some truth I hadn't...what we are promised as to the future makes it all worth it now. This truly is one of the only times we will ever be able to STAND for GOD without any proof just based upon faith...

We had an incident a few days ago where a Hispanic assistant (female) manager beat up another female employee. The female employee is in the hospital, never woke up. Her father said they are going to take their young daughter off of life support on Wednesday, tomorrow. He did say unless God gives a miracle. The assistant manager had been bullying his daughter. As soon as the young lady said she couldn't breathe after being beat up and also sat on by the assistant manager.....the assistant manager fled. I wonder if she was illegal... would be interesting to know. She's probably trying to flee to Mexico.

it is only concentrating smart criminals to a particular piece of land. I would not give them air condition I would have used forced air.
