As I say, just thinking out loud here. Brother/sisters keep your eyes open. I'm not making any sure proclamation, but there are ways in which the things we see going on today are beginning to fit into the warnings of signs that we will be seeing as we get very close, even at the door, of our Lord's return. Keep watch!
Well written; but I'm afraid most will not want to see the truth of anything. For we do stand at the door.And on the wing of the temple, he shall proclaim loud blasphemies against the Lord, God.
Doesn't it say in the Scriptures that the whole earth is God's temple? Just thinking out loud here, but wouldn't that mean that this 'wing of the temple' could be anywhere on the earth. That the place merely being outside of Jerusalem would make it 'on the wing' of the temple. As I say, just thinking out loud here. Brother/sisters keep your eyes open. I'm not making any sure proclamation, but there are ways in which the things we see going on today are beginning to fit into the warnings of signs that we will be seeing as we get very close, even at the door, of our Lord's return. Keep watch!
Praise Him!!

God made a dictator alright and that dictator has commanded that those who worked 2 jobs to pay our college bills & those who have to work 3 jobs because they could not afford college will now hand over to the dictator their hard earned money to pay the college bills of those to lazy and incompetent to pay their own bills .
All these politicians are crooks, out for themselves above all others.Thanks for nothing Mr. Dictator
So, I'm just looking at the things happening in the world, and in my effort to keep watch, comparing their working out against the things that we are supposed to see working out as the day of the Lord approaches. The things of the future, to Jesus' day, that are going to be the signs that Jesus gave us to be looking for.
Yes, as born again believers, Jesus warned us to keep watch. He told a parable about a group that was found unprepared at his return. They hadn't seen the signs that the bridegroom was coming until it was too late and they were left to scuttle for oil for their lamps to keep them burning.
Hi ezriderHow is you would make yourself prepared, and what is it that makes other unprepared?
And I'm guessing you're going with: "This is what I see going on here."Another common tactic of dictators & totalitarians ( particularly Communist & Marxist Dictators) in exserting absolute control over the finances of those they rule over is to use their secret police organizations to force private financial institutions to broadly search the transactions of hundreds of millions of private citizens , and then report back any legitimate financial activity the secret police deem sufficient cause to make contact with citizens.
You sound as though you didn't mind at all a keyword search of your transaction history being completed without your knowledge or consent .Hi Consecrated Life
And I'm guessing you're going with: "This is what I see going on here."
Secret police organizations to force private financial institutions to broadly search the transactions of hundreds of millions of private citizens. So, when a criminal investigation is ongoing and police search through bank records, that should be illegal?
