    Brother Mishael,

    Amen! Jesus Christs words are EVERLASTING!

    John 3:5

    "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."

    Matthew 24:35

    "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."

    Matthew 28:18-20

    18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

    19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

    20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

    In summary: Jesus tells the apostles to TEACH ALL NATIONS, very important - ALL NATIONS. Some teaching false doctrine will state that the above scripture is directed at Israel only - NOT SO!!!!!

    ALL NATIONS - means all people all over this EARTH!

    God Bless!

    Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

    Luke 13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

    Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

    Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

    (I love what Jesus says, it's so easy to understand) There is only one hope (Jesus) he said be ready.

    Brother Mishael,

    I enjoyed your post and thoughts so much today, that I wanted to highlight some of the contents again, and comment on them.

    You stated: "The date came and went. We'll do better to evangelize folks and quit using date setting to motivate us. We should believe and do what the Bible says. Beware of false teaching, date setting. False prophets."

    I agree with your encouraging words above, and to me, this verse brings it home:

    Matthew 6:34

    "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

    Also, your wise observance of the Mega Church preaching a strange kind of doctrine below:

    "There is even a video of a mega Church in America; the preacher said: the Ten Commandments are not needed anymore! All we have to do is obey loving one another?"

    Agree, and Jesus cautioned several times that prior to His Second Coming to watch out for false prophets/teachers:

    Matthew 24:11

    "And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many."

    You state: "Folks our only defense is to know what the Bible really teaches. Matthew 5, Jesus reaffirms Old Testament laws still in force. And the 2 new Commandments Jesus gave."

    Amen. God Bless.

    Part 2

    When we die it is the same as when we sleep, we are not conscious, we are asleep in Jesus, Psalm 146:4 Ecclesiastes 9:5,10 we have no knowledge of our surroundings or time. This is the spirit that goes back to God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:7.

    1 Thessalonians 4:14, when Jesus returns, this earth is round and those that are Christs will come from all over, and we see different places describing the gathering, Matthew 24:31, Mark 13:27, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 along with Jesus, God brings those that are Christs with Him, the second coming back to earth to set up the kingdom on earth. I understand those who believe in the rapture being carried to heaven will disagree.

    Soul; Hebrew, nephesh, meaning a soul, living being animal or human, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion. Greek psuch meaning, life, as the seat of affections and will, the self, the conscience, the individual. In our conscience that is in our soul is where the battle of the desires of the flesh and the Spirit. This is what remains asleep in the grave where ever the grave may be, awaiting resurrection when we put on immortality. Psalms 49:15 John 5:28-29

    When are we absent from this body? 2 Corinthians 2:6-10 When do we appear at the judgment seat? 1 Thessalonians 2:19 1 Corinthians 15:22-23. When is a corn plant absent from its seed is it not when it springs forth from its grave of the earth? We are sown and until we are resurrected, being changed like the corn seed from corruption to incorruption, and this mortal puts on immortality being freed from this body of corruption, then we will be present with the Lord.

    Sorry I got wordy I am sure not all will agree but that is ok this is just what I see.

    God bless us all in the love of Jesus.

    Brother Alex,

    God made a special exception for the thief. It is also very probable that the thief never had a chance to hear the WORD of God, hence God can make these kinds of exceptions. But, you, and I, and many others, have heard Jesus Christ's gospel, and we are supposed to be following Jesus. If we turn our backs on Christ's commandments, or HIS WORDS, we will not be treated like the thief, because we have been forewarned by Jesus what he expects from us!

    2 Peter 2:21

    "For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them."

    John 3:5

    "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."

    John 14:15

    "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

    Matthew 24:35

    "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."

    Read and believe!

    God Bless.

    Wesley's Notes for Acts 9:5

    To kick against the goads - is a Syriac proverb, expressing an attempt that brings nothing but pain.

    People's Bible Notes for Acts 9:5

    Acts 9:5 Who art thou, Lord? Sure that it was a supernatural communication, though he might possibly suspect its source, he did not yet know that it came from Christ. Perhaps at times he had had misgivings that he might be wrong, but he was sincere. I am Jesus. It is not said, "the Christ", but JESUS, the crucified one against whom Saul was raging. Had the answer been "the Christ", or the Son of God, Saul might still have doubted whether this was Jesus. [It is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks. Omitted here by the Revised Version, but found in Acts 26:14. The idea is that he is injuring himself, like the ox that kicks back on the goads used to urge him forward.

    Acts 9:5

    And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks (goads).

    Acts 22:8

    And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

    Acts 26:15

    And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

    Mishael: another thing is this= Jesus always says Follow Me. He says today is the day of salvation. He's here today!

    No one else is coming. If you hear his call today, follow Him.

    There is a Link on the red page, Become A Christian. It's a lot to read, but I think it will answer your question. Come back, if it doesn't, ok?

    Jesus, comes back only one's so the one that comes before him saying I am jesus cometh with me he is the false one, so open your eyes all will be in spirit when , Crist comes back so how can be lifted behind?
  • Richard GARDNER - In Reply on Matthew 24 - 3 years ago
    I think it means to all that belief in is will, with crist as ther, Savoy you know your going to de saved. So the ones that do not open their eye, and the ones that see but turn their backs to him will be, left out of God's glories
  • One Taken__One Left Behind - In Reply on Matthew 24 - 3 years ago
    No. He's talking about the Caught Up In The Clouds (rapture of the church).

    Some have received Jesus as Lord and Savior; and others neglect "so great a salvation".

    Some are ready to go, and others delay to make that eternal decision.

    We must understand what Jesus is showing us in John 3 (for starters). It can't be clearer.

    Apostle Paul met Jesus on the road to Damascus to kill more Christians. (Book of Acts) One moment he's a killer of Jews; the next moment he's born again. In his temporary blindness he is confronted by his own deeds and the reality of the Risen Savior, and his own desperate need to be saved.

    Jesus said to all of us, Blessed are those who have not seen (Me), and have Believed.

    Belief through the beauty of Faith is of great value.

    Our human hearts are a Throne. Either we are sitting on it, or we decide to put Jesus on it.

    We all have the ability to shove Jesus aside (to do a little more sinning).

    Believe me, you will greatly miss knowing that Jesus is on that throne. You feel the emptiness in your soul.

    We can change our minds and repent. Open our hearts to Jesus.

    In my experience with the "on and off" period of being a new believer, you know when Jesus is on that heart throne. You feel His Presence and you hear his Voice. It is gentle. His voice is still and small; but powerful.

    I still do lay my hand over my heart to feel His power and His strong love.

    Does anybody else do this? I think I'm weird sometimes, but I cannot deny His Presence in my life. I hope for everyone to experience this.

    Bill Morrison on Matthew 24:

    Elaborate on Mat. 24:34. What is mean by the word generation? If it were a generation as we know it all this has already happened. After all Jesus was speaking to the disciples during their generation.

    You are replying to a comment by "Bill Morrison"

    Yes his 12 apostles were asking about the future of Jerusalem ( Matthew 24). Jesus

    prophesied against his generation of priest, Pharisees, and Jews who were trying to kill him.

    or seeking a opportunity to.

    However, although Jerusalem was destroyed by the romans in 70 c.e. (just as Jesus foretold.)

    Revelation 18 proves that there is yet another great city called Babylon the great that will

    be destroyed because of all the things that this city carried out. who is living in shameful luxury and sexual immorality with the kings of the earth etc. merchants also living in luxury due to this great city Babylon the great who has the mark 666.



    Revelation 1:1-3

    Hope this answers your question.
  • Michael Woelfel on Matthew 24 - 3 years ago
    The wise men of old were diligent to pack up and travel as they did, to see Jesus at his first coming. Contrasting their zeal with Christians today, are we as eager to respond to biblical signs of our Lord's very different second coming event? In his last moments, Jesus pondered this out loud. He asked if he would find faith in anyone: "when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" Lk. 18:8. The question was not meant to provoke a brash response, "Of course, I'll have faith!" No instead, we should humbly ask, why does Jesus sound doubtful; why does he vocalize such a question, whether faith would exist in anyone on earth when he returns?

    Does the bible clarify why faith will become difficult? First, the bible warns, major lies will sweep masses of people in wrong directions. We are told, faith in God will become somehow counter-cultural, even splitting up families. The bible's warns of a fundamental global change. Physical money will become useless. Imagine if you cannot buy food for your family. Financial exchange will continue everywhere, but soon only digitally. Maybe a public promotion kicks off virtual cash with a large gift of digital currency to each person who joins the system. "Just take the mark". If your family hasn't eaten in weeks, would you take it? Talk about stress, would another of your family members, to stop the suffering hunger? Read Revelation 14:9, it speaks of eternal torment for everyone who takes the mark of the beast. Pressure against believers will be so intense that many Christians the bible says, will turn and take the damning mark. Their decision will be to their own destruction forever

  • Old Days When Life Was Wild and Scary - In Reply on Matthew 24 - 3 years ago
    They do like to get us sleep deprived. They'd pin me and hold my eyelids shut; mouth. But you know what? We can scream Jesus's Name (mind) and the Lord will banish them. They levitated my bed with me in it.

    A friend in my guest room felt something huge sit on the edge of his bed. He sat up but didn't see anything.

    Once I learned that we can Ask God for angelic protection, I stopped being fearful. Jesus provides everything we need at any moment.

    We are kings and priests; even women. All believers can walk in unmolested freedom. I spread out nets of protection over people beat down from spiritual warfare. Why? Because I knew God loves them and wants them saved and living in victory over all enemies.

    Just have to obey Ephesians 6. "They are invisible". They hate the God that lives within us.

    When I was going through this, the Holy Spirit got me out of bed (pneumonia) and took me to a Christian bookstore. I kinda argued because I had to buy milk for my kid and a teenager kicked out of her house. He took me to a sale table and I bought a book called 'Angels' by Charles Capps. I read it that same day. I knew I was being tormented. I prayed for angels to hang out at my house and assist me till I was well. I have never been troubled since that time. I could fill a book.

    Those doing street ministry need to ask God to send angels to assist and protect. They like Gospel music, so fill your house with praise. If the teenagers are runnin with the crowd, PRAY for them. Get the demons gone and pray for God to hang with those kids. You will see little miracles every day. Always give thanks to God for His Mercy and Grace. Always.

    I was doing "War Room" in my closet floor before it was a movie. All kinds of churches need to revive intercessory prayer. "Thy will be done"

    If you have to get loud, go sit in the car.

    Check your house top to bottom for cursed objects. Demons accuse us for that. But don't be hyper. Discern the spirits. 1 Cor. 12

    Mishael,

    Thank you, I agree without the word of God being our weapons, we can not stand up to the evil on this earth. Many to most people never encounter these evil beings, I did for over two years. When it started, I had read parts of the Bible but I was in no way prepared for things at that time I did not even believe were real.

    I know demons do not have a body and are on this earth until judgment and my wife and I dealt with them. Many things happened during that time. I will tell you of the one instance of this being that visited me in my bed while I was asleep. I was awakened when it laid on top of me, it was a light night and light was coming in through the window.

    He put a cloth over my face that looked like burlap because I could see through it. His hand covered my entire head and he was smothering me. His body was massive just his upper body was over me and the bed and it did not feel human.

    I kept wrestling and turned my head enough to free my mouth and said one word, Jesus, and it was like this being was snatched straight up and was gone. It may not have been a physical body but it was solid because my hands were clutching its hand and arm trying to get free. I had to change my clothing because I was drenched with sweat and I did not go back to sleep. God can get our attention in many different ways.

    Thank you for being on this site and for the guidance and encouragement you bring.

    God bless,

  • Satan Fights Dirty__Learn How To Fight Back - In Reply on Matthew 24 - 3 years ago
    I'm preaching a little here

    People need to know we all have to stay prayed up against spiritual attacks. I almost had my neck broke by one. And then it was pulled off of me by an angel. I didn't see it, but I heard body blows out in the yard outside my open window.

    It happened when I came home from church and found my tarot card carrying aunt trying to tell my mother the Roswell incident was real. I looked my aunt in the eyes and said, SELLS LOTS OF BOOKS DOESN'T IT? She did the eye thing too and said, IT SURE DOES. Her and her "medium" boyfriend left the next morning.

    Not long after that I gave a church friends friend a ride home from church. (She wanted to go out with friends). On the way to his house he starts hissing and twisting like a snake; and he pulls out a 10 inch butcher knife. I was praying silently in tongues the last few blocks. He got out of my car without incident.

    We all must know that the Dominion, God gave to Adam is ours too. Creepy people qualify as creeping things as far as I'm concerned. Jesus gave us Authority to tread on scorpions, creeps and every other evil thing. Gotta learn who we are IN CHRIST. The word of God (scriptures) in our mouth__is as deadly as Goliaths sword in David's hands. Jesus confronted Satan with scriptures; when He was tempted in the desert.

    The spirit world is invisible ( Ephesians 6) you won't see anything but your spirit can discern the attack. Fight back like Jesus did. God isn't going to allow "them" to hurt His child.

    We can ask God to send angels to guard our house and kids. They harken to the Word being spoken, so put some FM Radio on in the evenings; or YouTube spiritual warfare scripture readings.

    We have weapons of warfare. I'm saying they work. "We have not, because we don't ask. So let's ask, receive it and use it." I'm not making this up. Anyone doing anything with Jesus, be alert. Don't date UNBELIEVERS, young people.

    Hey Mishael,

    We are of the same generation I'm seventy-one, and I agree with you about dates, only the Father knows. I read most of your posts, and the only reason I replied was the video, you said it was really good teaching, sorry, numbers do not post too well on this site.

    If you look closely at that video it is like watching a magician, full of misdirection. Using prophetic days and years with 365-day years, throwing in 1948 using ( Ezekiel 37:3), which turns on a light bulb to people, "Hey this must be true that's when Israel became a nation again". There is a lot more I could say, it is easy to pick a verse out of context, and paint a beautiful, believable picture of falsehood about end times and other teachings that are out there today, and so many are looking and believing in false things.

    I too went to church early in life and later caught up in the world. In my late forties, my wife and I were in Mexico, and my wife was attacked by a demonic being. We went through over two years of unbelievable things. My wife was in the hospital and I went by my parents' house and I picked up our family Bible and a poem that my grandfather had written fell out in my lap. I read it and I felt a overcoming light fill me, I have been reading my Bible ever since.

    My eyes were opened fast too, Ephesians.6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Oh, by the way, some have physical bodies.

    My marriage did not make it, just me and Jesus now, never to remarry with no children. At our age we have seen many changes, church buildings, people think of as the Church, not them. The world swallowing people up and the speed it is happening is frightening, ( 2 Timothy 3: 1-7)

    You can feel the love in your words.

    God bless,
