However, the Holy Spirit is the He that indwells the bride of Christ; the He that restrains.<br /><br />This means the Holy Spirit-indwelt bride of Christ has since Pentecost been what has restrained the workings of Satan and the spirit of antichrist on the earth.<br /><br />So when the bride of Christ is taken up, so is the Restrainer taken up. This is how the restraint will also be taken out of the way of evil.<br /><br />Yet the Holy Spirit will still be working for the redemption and souls of the 70th Week saints, a great many of whom are also led to the Lamb of God by the sealed 144,000 of all Israel.<br /><br />Does this make it any clearer?Sean Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635416157001117844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-23787846687346029292017-06-29T11:34:55.521-04:002017-06-29T11:34:55.521-04:00In answer to Jeremiah 49:26 this footnote appears ...In answer to Jeremiah 49:26 this footnote appears in my Study Bible:<br /><br />Amos 4:10<br />"I sent a plague among you after the manner of Egypt; I slew your young men by the sword along with your captured horses, And I made the stench of your camp rise up in your nostrils; Yet you have not returned to Me," declares the LORD.<br /><br /><br />Jeremiah 50:30<br />"Therefore her young men will fall in her streets, And all her men of war will be silenced in that day," declares the LORD.<br /><br />GG5/SHALOM<br />Great Grany 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/18206987625062582113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-3203419011953927072017-06-29T11:33:15.595-04:002017-06-29T11:33:15.595-04:00Rereading Romans 11 brought something new to me. ...Rereading Romans 11 brought something new to me. Without disobedience there is no grace (ver 6)....through the hardening of Israel's heart (partially by their belief that they could keep the law and thereby gain their salvation...which caused them to miss Christ when He came the first time), God has provided the way of Mercy & Grace to Israel, while simultaneously opening the same chance to us by Israel's rejection of the Messiah. Awesome!<br /><br />I believe we are receiving clear indication/warning that God's attention is about to switch from his "wild olive tree" to his "cultivated olive tree (Rom 11:24). <br /><br />LanceLancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11096237324895515080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-19724034281031542612017-06-29T11:24:25.846-04:002017-06-29T11:24:25.846-04:00Sean, I wish to emphasize the main word 'GENTI...Sean, I wish to emphasize the main word 'GENTILES" as the number that is required for the Heavenly Transition to take place. Hashem is not waiting on the Hebrew Children because this is after all the Closing of the Church Age i.e.: The Age of Grace, as you have so very often spoken and so has God's Holy Word. Is GRACE that which restrains? I know that I have been taught that it is supposed to be the Holy Spirit that is removed but the Holy Spirit is the 3rd member of the Trinity and unless HE convicts and overtakes the sinful nature of man, who will do it?<br /><br />I know, this is Thursday and too early to be digging so deep but that is one part of the bible teaching I have had issues with over the years.

We know God is guiding the process, but as you point out, He has people in place to do so....and no, I had not considered that. Although I think he has some very great people in that circle, I do wonder how much of an eschatological viewpoint is being expressed. I visit many sites, and I have noticed the same names commenting on multiple sites. It tells me that our watching community is small (probably larger than I think). I think it is too difficult a subject for many to consider when making day-to-day decisions., so I've considered his advisory council more of "social issues" advising, as opposed to real prophetic discernment. Hopefully, I'm wrong on that.<br /><br />I think Jeffress is one of the advisors, and I think he does provide at least some focus on this area. Michele Bachman if she is still in this group probably provides the biggest viewpoint (from the names I know).

This speaks to loss of life and tremendous physical damage in the north central part of the country - ancient Ephraim. Much of it is today the northern portion of the West Bank.<br /><br />Verses 7/8 are akin to how the US turned to God right after 9/11. It's what all people do after a great calamity. Churches ate filled - temporarily at least. <br /><br />However, Israel remains spiritually blind until the 70th Week. So while many in Israel will look to and respect the god of their fathers as a result of Isaiah 17, Ezekiel 39:29 where it really begins.Sean Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635416157001117844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-7669077316748366532017-06-22T08:29:11.825-04:002017-06-22T08:29:11.825-04:00Sean,

I re-read Isaiah 17 and verses 7-8 stood out to me:<br /><br />“In that day a man will look to his Maker,<br />And his eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.<br /> He will not look to the altars,<br />The work of his hands;<br />He will not respect what his fingers have made,<br />Nor the wooden images nor the incense altars.”<br /><br />Do these verses indicate that IN the nation of Israel many eyes will be opened to the Lord as a result of this war? Will there be a “national awakening” of Israel, a turning back to the Lord as a result of the *Isaiah 17 war*? For a very long time, people who studied eschatology had the notion that Israel’s “national awakening” will happen at the time when the Lord defends them from the Gog-Magog coalition of nations (described in Ezekiel 38/39). Is it possible that this awakening starts sooner than the Ezekiel 38/39 battle because of this coming war (that involves the destruction of Damascus)? Because, Isaiah 17:7-8 seems to indicate that. <br />Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713473992151283154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-1778204477635582472017-06-22T06:54:37.937-04:002017-06-22T06:54:37.937-04:00I think I need to repeat an important prophetic li...I think I need to repeat an important prophetic little something from Isaiah 17 about what is yet to happen in Syria. Israel will have a key role in what is about to take place in Syria. <br /><br />In verse 3, "They will be as the glory of the children of Israel." The mere existence of the "children of Israel" today is an ancient two-fold miracle. <br /><br />God gave the childless Abraham and Sarah a child (Isaac) from which God would be able to fulfill His covenant promise. God performed this miracle a second time with Isaac and Rebekah who were also childless. Jacob was the result of the second miracle, and along with the birth of Jacob the covenant that God had made with Abraham was confirmed with Jacob (Genesis 28:14-15), who God would later re-name as Israel. Thus were the "children of Israel" made possible. <br /><br />Tied directly to what will occur to Damascus and the whole of the nation of Syria are verses 4, 5 and 6 of the prophecy. But Israel prevails as we seen in verse 9.<br /><br />All of this results in what occurs in verses 12-13<br /><br />"<i>Woe to the multitude of many people<br />Who make a noise like the roar of the seas,<br />And to the rushing of nations<br />That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!<br />The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters;<br />But God will rebuke them and they will flee far away,<br />And be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind,<br />Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.</i>"<br /><br />These losses to the nations which God will rebuke have nothing to do with what will occur thereafter according to the prophecy of Ezekiel 38/39. God makes very clear in the text of Ezekiel 38:10-12 the reasons why these events will take place. <br /><br />These purposes are the LORD's sovereign purposes; they have nothing to do with the prior events in what was Syria.<br /><br /><br />Sean Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635416157001117844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373186484944191934.post-64983909433101101532017-06-21T12:08:47.161-04:002017-06-21T12:08:47.161-04:00Hartdawg,
