Which would make sense how he is of fierce countenance and understands dark sentences. Daniel 8:23-25<br />Because of this, most saints after the rapture who believe, because of the rapture,are not kept as we are and are responsible to trust God by His word, there is no grace mentioned in the end of the age. jmoll106https://www.blogger.com/profile/00250251722536408025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-39111641163234578202016-12-29T16:26:53.779-05:002016-12-29T16:26:53.779-05:00The great apostasy has been going on for a long wh...The great apostasy has been going on for a long while in my opinion; it includes the seeker friendly churches for example and the current pope’s attitudes and actions (for bringing all religions together to name one).

It is probably not a coincidence that the chapter that deals with that war begins with the details of the woman with the crown of 12 stars on her head, which is symbolic of Israel. I never noticed it before, but that passage also mentions that the moon is at her feet. I wonder if that might be reference to Islam.Miriamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-8773266457661745792016-12-29T09:15:03.280-05:002016-12-29T09:15:03.280-05:00Sean, I would just like to thank you again for you...Sean, I would just like to thank you again for your hard work in maintaining this blog.

They'll require tremendous assistance, no? <br /><br />I assume through faith the Lord will protect this information for at least for first 42 weeks of the 70th Week. It's not always about us, but our brethren of next year and the year after that and so on. My labors are for us, but also for them.<br /><br />That said, II Thessalonians 2 is pretty specific Scripture, and it poses issues that require more study and a word of interpretation from the Holy Spirit. <br /><br />For example, here's rather simple set of related questions.<br /><br /><i>How could there be a great apostasy if the bride of Christ has been taken prior to it? Wouldn't there nothing but apostates or unbelievers on the earth at that time? In the aftermath of the Harpazo will those will realize it has taken place (bridesmaids without oil for their lamps) suddenly reject God in favor of Lucifer?</i><br /><br />Since I've been through these questions in detail over a long period of time, I would lean towards a great apostasy occurring while the bride of Christ is present on this earth, but you can make up your own mind on the matter.<br /><br />More prayer and study.Sean Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635416157001117844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-51932472282080391542016-12-28T23:35:38.212-05:002016-12-28T23:35:38.212-05:00I have not personally noticed a reference in the s...I have not personally noticed a reference in the scriptures to any evangelism during the tribulation period except for Jewish believers (maybe it's there and I missed it, always a possibility). The bible also describes an uncountable number of saints who are martyred during that time, but also notes that God is going to supernaturally keep the Jewish evangelists alive although they will suffer terrible persecution so they can carry out their mission.<br /><br />I am just throwing this out there to see if anyone else can correct or add to this train of thought - might it be a situation where the gentile and Jewish believers are Harpazoed out of here and in that process the blinders fall off the eyes of the remaining Jews (who as we know have a presence in all nations, in addition to Israel)? In Romans, Paul does say that blindness has come upon a part of Israel until the fullness of the gentiles that are going to be saved pre-Tribulation have been reached, and then all of Israel will be saved. Those Jewish evangelists and the gentiles with whom they share the Gospel of the Kingdom would be witnesses to the delusion and the lie, if we are no longer on the earth.

Personally, I disagree with that interpretation.<br />2)it says that the man of sin will be revealed prior to the day of Christ. It doesn't say the tribulation will occur, or the confirming of the covenant, it simply says he'll be revealed. Could it be that Paul is saying that the body of Christ will be able to discern who the man of sin is just prior to the harpazo?<br />3) it is assumed that the restrainer is the church, but could the restrainer simply be God's timetable? It says he'll be revealed in his (man of sin's) time.<br />These are just some thoughts I had, perhaps the Lord will lead you to post a more detailed study and post it on this blog I wouldn't mind seeing that I think it would be very helpful for ushartdawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14554733830775640375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-46001991277108041512016-12-28T18:57:03.065-05:002016-12-28T18:57:03.065-05:00Very interesting thoughts but a question arose whi...Very interesting thoughts but a question arose while reading your new post.<br />I have it in my understanding that Jesus' bride will be raptured before the<br />identity of the antichrist is revealed, correct?

You did not misunderstand at all. In fact, ...Nora,<br /><br />You did not misunderstand at all. In fact, you understood the meaning of this as it intended it to be understood.<br /><br />Traditionally the vast majority of eschatologists have held to the view that the Antichrist will be revealed by his confirming a covenant among many; I used to be among them, at least until this text for Daniel 7:7-8 was presented to me in a way by the Lord that I had not noticed previously in this way before.<br /><br />Daniel 7:7 is about the beast empire, the ten horns specifically.<br />Daniel 7:8 is about the rise of the little horn, the Antichrist.<br /><br />It says in the text of verse 8 that in this little horn's initial rise among the ten that three horns (i.e. three of the ten kingdoms within the beast empire) will uprooted as he rises. It doesn't say he will uproot them, just that they will be uprooted (completely overthrown) before him and his powerful oratory.<br /><br />Seems to me this is the most forward advanced way to identify Antichrist.<br /><br />And, yes, I would expect to see this as Brexit, Trump's arrival and the next upheaval within the EU (Italy, France, Germany?? Who knows??) that the ten will become identifiable, and so will the little horn that pops up among them.Sean Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635416157001117844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-84921682468490505172016-12-28T12:54:42.403-05:002016-12-28T12:54:42.403-05:00Sean,

Or did I misunderstand something? <br />Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713473992151283154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-56543835823869012392016-12-28T04:56:45.200-05:002016-12-28T04:56:45.200-05:00Apologies that this is slightly off topic, but it&...Apologies that this is slightly off topic, but it's 4:30 AM (do I sense a trend? :-) and this came to me from the Word of God in regards to what the Obama admin is trying to do but will fail to accomplish:<br /><br />Woe to those who call evil good<br />and good evil,<br />who put darkness for light<br />and light for darkness,<br />who put bitter for sweet<br />and sweet for bitter.<br /><br />21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes<br />and clever in their own sight.<br /><br />22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine<br />and champions at mixing drinks,<br />23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,<br />but deny justice to the innocent.<br />24 Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw<br />and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,<br />so their roots will decay<br />and their flowers blow away like dust;<br />for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty<br />and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel.Miriamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-20287505087228389722016-12-27T19:15:24.765-05:002016-12-27T19:15:24.765-05:00Yes Sean.
