they ignore a lot reading the bible, like what I tell people all the time, God will come as a thief in the night, which means nobody knows.
Weather you believe or not , and even if text is confusing the info is there.

I think Maggie might die on the walking dead. They are not doing anything with her character. She's in a movie called the boy.

I do believe that God has always blessed the Usited Staes because of it's large devout Christian population and it's helping Israel. That's what I believe. I also believe that Obama is bringing judgement on America for going against Israel, and his many unGodly activities that are so important to him that some of them he even has to use executive orders to accomplish inspite of the majority being against these actions.

The Biblical Indictment Of America

World history confirms what the Bible boldly declares: The establishment and future of a city, territory, nation or empire, is determined by the Lord. Concerning the creation of a nation, we are told in Acts 17:26,

"And He (God) has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings."

The prophet Jeremiah explains how the future of a nation is determined.

"The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it." (Jer. 18:7-8)

"And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it." (Jer. 18:9-10)

This article takes a look at the epic tales of two infamous cities, Nineveh and Jerusalem. These comparisons are made to determine which one of these locations best characterizes America's current spiritual condition.

If such a historical comparison can be applied now, then the relevant question is: Should Americans find hope in Jeremiah 18:7-8, with the story of Nineveh at the time of Jonah, or feel despair in the story of Jeremiah 18:9-10, which describes Jerusalem at the time of the Babylonian conquest? To determine the answer, I propose the examination of two principles that I call "The Nineveh Principle" and "The Jerusalem Principle".

THE NINEVEH PRINCIPLE

"I think in many ways America is like Nineveh. The wickedness of Nineveh was so great that God effectively said it was recognized up in heaven - 'the sin of Nineveh has come before me' - and I believe America is at such a state." (Senior Calvary Chapel Pastor and Evangelist Greg Laurie.)

The Nineveh Principle has its origin in the 8th century BC before Jeremiah 18:7-10 was written. It is rooted in 2 Chronicles 7:14;

"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

Although these verses primarily dealt with the Lord's response to King Solomon's petition for the protection of the nation of Israel around 957 BC, they apparently also laid the groundwork for the Lord's treatment toward other nations. The Assyrian city of Nineveh at the time of Jonah about 760 BC evidences this. Nineveh, the capital city of the Assyrian empire, was ultimately destroyed around 612 BC; however the empire had become exceedingly evil long before it came to its end.

At the height of its wickedness, the Lord sent Jonah, a prophet, to warn of Nineveh's fast approaching destruction.

"And Jonah began to enter the city on the first day's walk. Then he cried out and said, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!"" (Jonah 3:4)

Jonah's warning was well received by the king and the people of Nineveh. They took it upon themselves to turn from their evil ways and Nineveh received a stay of execution.

"Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it." (Jonah 3:10)

Although it can be argued that the Assyrians at the time were not classified as "My people," the fact that they repented and turned from their evil ways changed their spiritual standing with the Lord.

With the historical precedents of 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Jonah 3:10 already in place, Jeremiah 18:7-8 reinforces this Nineveh Principle: if an evil people repent and turn from their wicked ways, the Lord will relent from bringing disaster upon them.

THE JERUSALEM PRINCIPLE

In sharp contrast to the Nineveh Principle, is the Jerusalem Principle. The Jerusalem Principle applies when a nation reaches a point of no return and the Lord determines that its destruction will not be postponed. This happened to the city of Jerusalem and the Southern Kingdom of Judah about 2700 years ago during the time of the Hebrew prophet Jeremiah. Three times Jeremiah was told to stop praying for the people of Judah.

"Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; for I will not hear you. Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?" (Jer. 7:16)

"So do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry out to Me because of their trouble." (Jer. 11:14)

"Then the LORD said to me, "Do not pray for this people, for their good. When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence."" (Jer. 14:11-12)

After Jeremiah received his instructions to quit praying for the people of Judah, he forewarned them of their impending judgment. The people were captured and transported into Babylonian captivity where they remained for seventy years. Their homeland sat desolated during that period. (5)

In His foreknowledge the Lord knew that Judah would not have a Nineveh or 2 Chronicles 7:14 moment. Jeremiah's intercessory prayers on behalf of Judah would have no effect on the Lord's decision and he was told to cease praying for the people. The Lord explained why:

"Therefore you (Jeremiah) shall speak all these words to them, (in Judah) but they will not obey you. You shall also call to them, but they will not answer you." (Jer. 7:27)

In essence, Jeremiah was informed that the people of Judah would not respond to his warnings in the similar way that the people of Nineveh did to Jonah's forewarnings. As per the provision of forgiveness given in Jeremiah 18:7-8, if Judah would have repented, like Nineveh did, then the Lord would certainly have relented from judgment.

However, due to their evildoings and disobedience the Lord implemented the provision of judgment in Jeremiah 18:9-10, which was ultimately executed through the Babylonian conquest.

The people of Judah forsook their God Jehovah and became idolatrous. Jeremiah 19:4-9 provides the indictment of; and verdict for, Judah. These verses paint a graphic picture of despair and they are summarized below.

The INDICTMENT of JUDAH (Jeremiah 19:4-5)

* The people forsook the Lord and alienated Him from Judah.
* They worshipped false gods instead.
* They sacrificed the innocent blood of their children to the false god Baal.
* Child sacrifice appalled the Lord.

The VERDICT of JUDAH (Jeremiah 19:6-9)

A judgment in the form of a slaughter would come as sequenced below.
* The counselors of Judah would provide foolish counsel.
* The people of Judah would be killed by the swords of their enemies.
* Their corpses would be eaten by the vultures and carnivorous animals.
* The land would be desolated and contaminated with plagues.
* The survivors would become cannibals in order to survive.
* They would even eat their own sons and daughters due to their despair.

It is important to note that the Lord told Adam and Eve in Genesis 1:22, 28 and Noah and his three sons in Genesis 9:1, 7 to be fruitful and multiply upon the earth. The goal was to populate the earth with godly offspring. Contrary to the Lord's command, the people of Judah were murdering and ultimately reduced to eating their children!

The Jerusalem Principle depicts what has historically happened when judgment and destruction occurs to an evil people who forsake the Lord.

AMERICA'S INDICTMENT

"We have taken God out of the public debate...I want to put Him back in." Evangelist Franklin Graham. (6)

America has crossed every forbidden biblical boundary and in so doing has forsaken God. Throughout history nations and empires have been judged and destroyed for transgressing these biblically defined moral and spiritual boundaries! Boundaries such as:

* SEXUAL PERVERSION, like that of Sodom and Gomorrah at the time of Abraham around 2000 BC.

* IDOL WORSHIP, which in its worst conditions led to child sacrifice, which resulted in the destruction of the Northern Kingdom of Israel in 722 BC and the Southern Kingdom of Judah in 586 BC.

* WICKEDNESS AND MORAL DECADENCE, which caused the ultimate destruction of the Assyrian empire about 612 BC by the Babylonians and Medes.

* ANTI-SEMITISM, which led to the destruction of the Egyptian army at the time of Moses about 3500 BC. The treatment of Israel by a nation is reciprocated upon that nation according to Genesis 12:3. This policy pertains to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their descendants, the Jews today. Blessings are in store for those who treat Israel favorably, but troubles are guaranteed to them that curse Israel.

In every instance the destructions caused unbearable sufferings and hardships to everyone, including believers in God and unbelievers that did not heed the prophetic warnings given in advance by the Hebrew prophets.

Daniel 5:24-28 - MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it; You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; Your kingdom has been divided). (June 26, 2015 is when the Supreme Court approved same sex marriages).

AMERICA IS IN THE DANGER ZONE

Over the past fifty years, America has transgressed over all of these dangerous boundaries. This is attested to by the Supreme Court decisions listed below.

* 1962 - Engel v. Vitale: the removal of Prayer in public schools by the Supreme Court.

* 1963 - Abington School District v. Schempp: the removal of Bible reading in public schools by the Supreme Court.

* 1973 - Roe v. Wade: legalized abortions by the Supreme Court. Since then, America has performed over 58 million abortions. Presently about 1 million abortions occur every year in America. This law means that about 1 million children annually will not be able to grow up, populate the earth and potentially become Godly offspring.

* 1980 - Stone v. Graham: in this case the Supreme Court ruled that a Kentucky statute was unconstitutional. The statute in question required the posting of a copy of the Ten Commandments on the wall of each public classroom in the state. The Court ruled that because they were being placed in public classrooms they were in violation of the First Amendment.

* 2003 - Lawrence v. Texas: This was the landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court that struck down the sodomy law in Texas, which by extension, invalidated sodomy laws in 13 other states.

* 2013 - United States v. Windsor: the case that the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). DOMA stated that one man should be married to one woman. DOMA was biblically supported according to Genesis 2:24, which says; "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." Marriage is the ordained relationship through which a man and woman can become fruitful and multiply the earth with godly children.

* 2015 - Obergefell v. Hodges: the Supreme Court case that ruled in favor of Same Sex Marriages, which is unbiblical according to Romans 1:27 and elsewhere. Same sex couples are unable to procreate naturally. Therefore, it is humanly impossible for them to be fruitful and populate the earth with godly kids.

* 2015 - The present White House Administration has turned its back on Israel. As an example, Obama believes the Iran JCPOA nuclear deal is good, but Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu believes it's the worst deal imaginable. A recent poll conducted by the "Panels Politics in Tel Aviv" confirmed the concerns that Israelis have about U.S. President Barrack Obama. The poll overwhelmingly rated him as the worst president for Israel in the last 30 years.

The Lord has provided ample warnings to Americans that the country is headed for destruction. These forewarnings have come in the forms of remedial judgments, prophetic voices, and ultimately by giving them the ungodly leaders they deserve. For instance, U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama is the most pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, and anti-Israel president in America's history!

AMERICA'S VERDICT

Which of these two cities does America most resemble today, forgiven Nineveh or judged Jerusalem?

Most would agree that once upon a time the Lord planted, built up and blessed this nation. This would connect the USA with Jeremiah 18:9, which says, "And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it."

It appears safe to also suggest that from the Supreme Court decisions provided above, that America has, as Franklin Graham stated, "Taken God out of the public debate." Thus, if the Lord's voice is not even in the public debate, then how can we be obeying the Lord's say-so in the important matters of this country?

If we are not obeying the Lord's commands then we are doing evil in His sight. This would connect the USA with Jeremiah 18:10a, which states, "if it (a nation) does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then..."

Then what? "Then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it?" (Jer. 18:10b).
Let's substitute America for Jerusalem and Judah in Jeremiah 7:16 to see if the shoe fits.

"Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; for I will not hear you. Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?" (Jer. 7:16)

This verse is paraphrased below for potential American application.

"Therefore do not pray for Americans, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; for I will not hear you. Do you not see the forbidden biblical boundaries their Supreme Court has crossed over in the city of Washington D.C., the sale of aborted baby body parts by Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest, and the LGBT Gay Pride Parades in the streets of San Francisco and San Diego?"

WILL AMERICA HAVE A NINEVEH OR JERUSALEM EXPERIENCE?

Is it possible that the historical example of Nineveh could be repeated in America? If indeed America is headed for a disaster, could America receive a similar pardon from the Lord? The answer is yes, but the Lord does not issue "get out of jail free" cards like in the game of Monopoly. Americans and their leaders must sincerely emulate the actions of Nineveh in order for the Lord to relent from destroying the nation.

I'm not saying that Americans should stop praying for their country, nor am I suggesting that Americans will become so desperate that they will someday eat their sons and daughters. In fact, Ezekiel says that was a one-time episode for Judah that wouldn't be repeated.

"And I will do among you (Jerusalem) what I have never done, and the like of which I will never do again, because of all your abominations. Therefore, fathers shall eat their sons in your midst, and sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments among you, and all of you who remain I will scatter to all the winds." (Ezekiel 5:9-10)

What I am asking Americans to consider is does America have a national repentance forthcoming in the near future? If the answer is yes, then America will most resemble forgiven Nineveh and Jeremiah 18:7-8. If the answer is no, then... Then what? Then, at the very least, the Lord will no longer bless this nation and America's greatness will never return! Only God, who knows the end from the beginning, knows America's final verdict!

"Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, 'My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure.'" (Isaiah 46:9-10)

THE NOW PROPHECIES book by Bill Salus devotes three entire chapters to the important topic of America's prophetic future. It also explores the ancient prophecies that could happen NOW, at this present time. Bill's site is found at Prophecy Depot

Biblical Prophecies

Post: # 156694Unread post Gary Oak »

I knew about 2017 being the 50th year since Jerusalem was finally reunited in Israel and it was fifty years to the very day that Israel was made a nation after fifty years of British rule.

The Significance Of Biblical Numbers & 2017
Read more at http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/articl ... OJkiSVj.99


I have never had a desire to study the significance of Bible numbers, but I have long believed that everything in the Bible is significant.

I have always been leery of going too far in the study of numbers, but I have recently seen some amazing things that other prophecy teachers (Bob Mitchell, Dan Goodwin, etc.) have pointed out.

I don't agree with everything they say, but I will try to take some of the amazing things these prophecy teachers say that seems right to me and pass it on in my own words.

Notice these six (the number of man) historical facts:

1897--A Zionist conference was held to find a homeland for the Jews.
1917--War: England capture Palestine (Israel, Jerusalem and more).
1947--A UN conference was held to find a homeland for the Jews.
1967--War: Israel captured West Bank (including East Jerusalem).
1997--An Arab conference was held to take the homeland of the Jews.
2017--War: threats from Iran, Hezbollah, ISIS, some Arabs, etc.

Notice that these six historical facts run 20 + 30 + 20 + 30 + 20:

1897 + 20 = 1917
1917 + 30 = 1947
1947 + 20 = 1967
1967 + 30 = 1997
1997 + 20 = 2017

Notice that the conferences run in 50-year cycles:

1897--1st conference; find a homeland for the Jews.
1947--2nd conference; establish a homeland for the Jews (1897 + 50 = 1947).
1997--3rd conference; take the homeland from the Jews (1947 + 50 = 1997).

Notice that these 50-year cycles were held by three different groups.

1897--The 1st conference was a Jewish conference.
1947--The 2nd conference was a Gentile (UN) conference (1897 + 50 = 1947).
1997--The 3rd conference was an Arab conference (1947 + 50 = 1997).

Notice that three of these 50-year cycles are about war.

1917--War: England captured Palestine (Israel, Jerusalem and more).
1967--War: Israel captured West Bank (East Jerusalem and more).
2017--War: Remains to be seen, but very possible.

Notice that three of these 50-year cycles involve Jerusalem (the end of the age cup of trembling and burdensome stone for the whole world; Joel 3:2).

1917--War: Gentiles took Jerusalem.
1967--War: Jews took Jerusalem.
2017--War: Remains to be seen, but Arabs and or Muslims (the Iranians are not Arabs) may try to take Jerusalem.

But let's go a little deeper and I honestly don't know what to make of this.

We are looking at six events between 1897 and 2017, a period of 120 years. In the days of Noah (a sign of the Second Coming) God said, "My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years" (Gen. 6:3).

Based on God's six days of creation and one day of rest (a total of seven days) plus the Scriptures that teach that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years (Psalm 90:4; II Pet. 3:8; Heb. 4:4) some church fathers (Barnabas, Irenaeus, Justin Martyr and Lactantius), scholars (Dr. J. R. Church) and prophecy writers (Dr. Noah Hutchings and others), have taught that mankind will go through six God days of 1,000 years each (a total of 6,000 years) plus a Millennium of 1,000 years rest (now a total of 7,000 years).

6,000 years is 120 of 50-years each or 6,000 years (120 X 50 = 6,000).

It is common knowledge among most students of the Bible that Jesus told His disciples "There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom" (Matt. 16:28).

Is it possible to know the day of our demise? Jesus chastised religious leaders in ancient Jerusalem for not knowing the time of His first arrival.

Then, six days later, Jesus took Peter (the same Peter that said six days is with the Lord as a thousand years) plus James, and John up on the Mount of Transfiguration and revealed His Second Coming to them (Matt. 17:1-9).

The question is "Why did Jesus wait six days instead of three or five or ten days or whatever?" Why six days?

I recently heard Dan Goodwin say those six days represent 6,000 years. I knew that six days of God's time are like 6,000 years of Man's time, but I don't think I have ever heard that one day of man's time ((Peter, James and John's time) can be like 1,000 years to God. It just didn't seem right to me.

Then, I read what Moses said, "A thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday" (Psalm 90:4). To God, 1,000 years seems like yesterday or one day.

I went back to II Pet. 3:8: "But, beloved, don't be ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."

I went to my King James Bible Commentary and read that "God does not count time in the same way that we do. To Him a thousand years may count as one day" (II Pet. 3:8).

This is the point: God is an eternal being. Time does not exist for Him. There is no difference between 1,000 years and one day to God and no difference between one day and 1,000 years to God.

So, each person should decide for his or her own self if Jesus waiting six days to reveal His Second Coming to Peter, James and John means His Second Coming will be after 6,000 years of human history.

In summary, I don't know what to think of some of this, but in light of the talk of moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, the talk of a peace treaty this 2017, it being 50 years since 1967, it being 70 years since 1947, the upcoming total eclipse of the sun, the Revelation 12 sign on Rosh Hashanah, etc. These amazing numbers are getting my attention.

I believe that might be bullshit...But it's interesting how it says the virus will suddenly vanish....

Who was the psychic?...Chuck Schumer?...Nancy Pelosi?...

It will be interesting to see if it does inexplicably vanish...My prediction is that it will not go away any more than SARS or MERS has gone away....BUT quarantine and travel restrictions in the US will ease up right after mid November 2020... :kez:

During the inquisition they put things in novels to tell the masses things that they knew as they put things in the movies now to show us things that they have. The book Forbidden Science has some examples of this. I wouldn’t be surprised if they knew before about this coronavirus pandemic as it was very well planned. It’s timing just before Chinese New Year when everyone in the country has to return to their hometown and right by the biological weapons facility could be to make it look like Chinese negligence is to blame.

Could these Jews be getting fooled into cheering the arrival of the Antichrist ? Perhaps the last days are coming sooner than I’d like. https://survival.news/2021-04-13-ukrain ... olars.html#

It sounds like the same old message that has been spouted by Jews, and Christians alike for over two thousand years now.
You will not know as the bible tells you, God will come as a thief in the night meaning there will be no signs.
