Gen...May 14, 1948 Creation of Israel, the Fig Tree.<br />Generation 70 to 80 yrs.<br />This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.<br />1948+80=2028-7=2021<br /><br />Isaiah in chapter 61. He said that Jesus came to, among other things, set the captives free. Psalm 68:18 says that when He ascended on high, He took them captive to Himself which is confirmed at Ephesians 4:8.<br /><br />Therein lies a picture of the Rapture. Forty days after they rise on First Fruits, fulfilling the 40-day warning period of Jonah, Jesus ascends back to heaven taking with Him the captives that He set free by His death and resurrection. And, when Jesus ascends back to heaven, His mission as the Messiah is complete.<br /><br />Ten days later on Pentecost, Peter offers Him as Messiah to the Jews for the very first time, and now all the Spring Feasts are fulfilled by Jesus.<br /><br />When these set times were promised to the Church, the shadows are cast and their meaning to the Church in the end time is illuminated because, at long last the time has come. The set time for the Rapture to occur in fulfillment of that shadow cast by Jesus Himself when He ascended to heaven, taking with him the first installment of the full harvest, came 40 days after First Fruits. That scene was the promise fulfilled. When He returns for all new creatures, on that same Ascension Day, it will be to fulfill that promise and reap this part of the full harvest, at ‘the twinkling of an eye’, of those living at the time, and those that were made alive that had slept in Him.<br /><br />Many of the dead in Christ of the end time are going to rise first. Before hand, just like they did when they cast this shadow. And when they do, they will be doing the same thing as their counterparts did after they rose. For 40 days they will be seen in Jerusalem, warning the Jews to repent and follow Jesus, the true Messiah before it’s too late and God’s wrath, known to them through their prophets, falls on them.<br /><br />Paul taught Christians to be watching at the end time in order to see the elements of the prophecies occurring, so we can alert the others to what we see. But, this is the Jews show that’s being played out on the stage, so we must be watching them if we are to see this warning sign that the close of the Church Age is only 40 days away.<br />Gregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369169562087504802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-12404563662312094852019-11-28T10:01:37.217-06:002019-11-28T10:01:37.217-06:00Also look at Romans 11, verse 24 We the gentiles, ...Also look at Romans 11, verse 24 We the gentiles, not the natural branches, were grafted in by faith.

(Again, ALL Christians are wise to review and receive Christ’s admonishments to the churches of Thyatira, Sardis, and Laodicea, and repent).<br /><br />It is foolish not to obey the Lord’s leading to restudy Scriptures we think we apprehend, especially if we consider ourselves Bereans! And continuing to teach false doctrine without eagerly restudying the particular Scriptures brought to our attention by other members of this blessed Body of Christ has grave consequences, for it affects our Lord’s precious people. <br /><br />The old Adam is prideful and disobedient, and is deceived by doctrines and traditions of men (please see Col. 2:8). The new true self in Christ is humble and receptive of loving admonishment; “a rebuke impresses a man of discernment...” (Prov. 17:10). <br /><br />Blessings in Christ to all reading this! 💕<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745320042304201889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-84411535586878180562018-03-24T13:09:29.375-05:002018-03-24T13:09:29.375-05:00Deanna, I think it would help you to understand St...Deanna, I think it would help you to understand Stephanie's ability to quickly respond to the references if you knew she has been writing a very instructional Blog and responding and writing on Facebook and other places for years. This is not the first time she's seen or addressed these topics. She probably has deep studies in each of the scriptures mentioned on her Blog. She is a Moderator for several groups on Facebook about End-Times and works tirelessly in those groups. She's no johnny come lately, who reads a devotional book daily. She is the very definition of a Berean. You may not agree with her conclusions always, but never think she's not a card carrying member of I love the Word of God more than food Club.

Do we exclude everything in the bible from prior to the book of Acts as being of relevance to the Church, simply because the Church was not 'present' at the time? I don't think so. Do we ignore everything that Christ said to Nicodemus in John 3, simply due to the Church not existing at the time, and Nicodemus being a Jew (and thus Christ answering in a context only relevant to the Jews)? No, of course not.<br /><br />I think Greg even answered one of his own questions about the Church only coming about as a result of Israels rejection in the messiah, and that was 'he knew from the beginning that Israel would reject him', then could it not also be so that Christ knew that the very disciples whom he was explaining the purpose of Matt 24 to, would one day become the very Church that we are part and parcel of today? And in knowing that, could Jesus be inferring some of the expectations of his words to the disciples that day on the future Church that they would become pillars of??? Most certainly so. So to adamantly and completely include or exclude the Church in Christ's words in Matt 24 is concerning.<br /><br />RyanThrough and Throughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518570218409369814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-78766419054505773492018-03-17T22:44:48.408-05:002018-03-17T22:44:48.408-05:00Sorry Jeff.

Attacks on the true gospel of the salvation once and for all delivered to the saints will not be tolerated here. Sowing seeds of doubt and undermining the biblical doctrine of eternal security is not going to be taken lightly, and you need to seriously consider the implications of what you're stating when you reject "once saved, always saved." <br /><br />In agreement with Stephanie above, it's your word against that of the Lord Jesus himself in John 6:37-40.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05481514981109300522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-79183075914845209282018-03-17T20:44:16.274-05:002018-03-17T20:44:16.274-05:00And dear Miguel P: praise God you have not hardene...And dear Miguel P: praise God you have not hardened your heart to studying His word! Regarding Stephanie’s comment you noted, “Once we are clothed in the righteousness of Christ, that is who we are - washed, redeemed,” please truly read our Lord’s admonition to the church of Sardis in Rev. 3:1-6. They WERE clothed in white, but they soiled their robes. Do you see that? Press in to the Holy Spirit - He LOVES to reveal Truth to those who humble themselves and press in to learn something that may entail demolishing strongholds of false doctrines of men.

What you wrote now is also proof you haven’t taken the time to trulybstudy and apprehend our Lord’s admonitions to the churches in Rev. Chs 2 & 3. The church of Laodicea is an opinionated church that does not open the door to the Word Himself (and He is standing OUTSIDE the door to the church!). <br /><br />I praise God He is using this conversation to spur some foolish virgins on become wise in these last critical days by studying this vital matter for themselves! Hallelujah! My heart has been heavy for them - they are the majority of Christians the Lord ministers to through me. I have come to have the Lord’s peace on the matter, nevertheless, knowing that He graciously brings the (necessary!) Tribulation to save those who will constitute the great multitide. Scriptures indicate they will NOT have the same ministry or rewards in the Millenium as the Bride, however. <br /><br />Again, “He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches!” Much love and encouragement to persevere in Christ to all reading this! 💕 <br /><br />Lastly, here again is a link to an excellent introductory article by a brother covering Scriptures addressing the rapture of the Bride: http://theopenscroll.com/when_cometh/bridetheft.htm<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745320042304201889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-69191489682082649122018-03-17T19:39:54.928-05:002018-03-17T19:39:54.928-05:00Miguel, thank you for chiming in with your grace-f...Miguel, thank you for chiming in with your grace-full comment!<br /><br />This topic can't be just coincidental, as someone posted a Ray Comfort documentary about this very thing today and asked my opinion on it. I struggled with assurance of salvation for decades. Whether I lost it upon adolescence and then regained it later when I returned, or whether I was saved all along, only God knows. But salvation is indeed nothing to be taken lightly. It's the whole point of our life here, really. If we don't get that right, nothing else counts.<br /><br />I will post what I am adding to my groups tomorrow here just because I think the timing is kind of uncanny.<br /><br />And feel free to join me if you're on FB :)<br />Set Apart - Living Holy in an Unholy World (or something like that... I also have a parallel all women group Christian Women, Wives, and Moms Supporting Each Other if any other readers are interested)<br /><br />This is what I am posting:<br /><br />An EXTREMELY important issue in the church (organized religion) today which needs to be addressed is "false conversions". I agree that MANY who call themselves Christian are likely not. MANY who attend churches are likely not even saved.<br /><br />Ray Comfort - False Conversions: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tjfGqLPax8o<br /><br />There were only several things which I didn't care for, but they were minor points and overall I believe the message is one people need to hear.<br /><br />1. In the beginning he mentions that true believers shouldn't struggle with the same things people in the world struggle with. I disagree, I believe Jesus doesn't take away all our problems and struggles - He helps us THROUGH them.<br /><br />2. I didn't like how he told us to "judge if this man is saved", and then cuts to a man smoking and then goes through his story. While his fruit certainly doesn't look good, I don't believe that smoking in itself is a sin., Kinda like the alcohol thing, everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial. I agree smoking is terrible for your health but wouldn't judge anyone's salvation by it.... And nor do I agree that we are to sit and judge peoples hearts for salvation. We are to judge our own hearts alone in that regard. Amongst believers, we are to judge fruit AFTER we take the planks out of our own eyes....<br /><br />3. He stated that a terror of the Lord is a good motivator for evangelism. While I agree we should have a fear of the Lord, my motivation to evangelize is more out of my love for Him and desire to serve Him, and my love for others and my desire that they be spared from eternal separation from Him.<br /><br />4. He did mention one time that we should have "fruit worthy of salvation" and that is my main point of contention. That is a works based doctrine which is false. We are unable to produce fruit in ourselves, and certainly not to try to earn salvation. The fruit ripens in us BECAUSE we are saved and abiding in the vine.<br /><br />Overall though, this is a huge concern in the churches that needs addressing. True salvation produces fruit in keeping with repentance and if the fruit is bad, the tree is too.<br /><br />Unsure of your salvation?

I know it can get tiring to have to defend so persistently, but it is helpful to me to be able to know that Deanna doesn't get the last word, whether she is right or not.

He who began a good work in us will be faithful to complete it. Yes, we must be truly saved. But no, not "all humanity is already saved" and no our works fo not maintain our salvation.<br /><br />Our fruit, our works, come as a result of abiding in the vine. God ripens the fruit in us. We become a vessel through which He flows. We are His hands and feet in the world. The salt and light. <br /><br />We are not in danger of losing/gaining/losing/gaining our salvation. He doesn't keep dangling His gift in front of us and taking it back when we fall. It's a judicial transaction. Our debt is paid and we don't accrue more debt.

In fact he is one of the most prominent people teaching against "easy Believism". <br /><br />As far as OSAS, Jesus teaches that He will not lose even one from His hand. Whether *we* retain free will to leave, there are verses that would seem to suggest so. But then again, would a true believer put that to the test? Thus the question is whether or not the person was truly saved.

You haven’t apprehended His repeated admonitions that His disciples must DO what His Word tells us to do (see Matt. 7:21-22 and Luke 14:33 for starters...) He who has ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745320042304201889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923571518579487836.post-51591643276128981732018-03-17T11:51:02.473-05:002018-03-17T11:51:02.473-05:00Dear sister Diana, I'm going to have to strong...Dear sister Diana, I'm going to have to strongly disagree with you on this one. Just as we can never be worthy of salvation by our own works, we also cannot be worthy of rapture. Rapture is parallel to salvation, it is the redemption of our bodies. Remember that it's not just the living believers transformed, it is also the dead in Christ who preceed us.<br /><br />For all of us, we are worthy by the blood of the Lamb. The living are worthy to escape all these things - Luke 21:36 - by the righteousness of Christ alone.<br /><br />There is no partial rapture. Jesus paid the full price, not just part of it...<br /><br />As far as who is taken and left... Yes I believe the sudden like a trap nature of this leads it to being the rapture.<br /><br />The believers are taken and received into heaven, to the place prepared for us. The unbelievers are left behind to face the tribulation.<br /><br />I discuss that here: .https://redmoonrapture.wordpress.com/2017/07/24/is-it-better-to-be-taken-or-left/<br /><br />Blessings!

Note that it wasn't uprooted, so the stump still remained.... And grew again to leaf out.... And awaits the mature fruit....
