I have been receiving emails from one Robert Bowen that bluntly disgust and alarm me. I fear that this mode of thinking has penetrated my blogspot to no small degree. Repentance from all propagating this information is needed.
Today, I received abhorrent videos made by a Benjamin Fulford. He is giving this horrible theory propagated by a New Age devotee Arthur Koestler. Koestler was allegedly a former Communist. He clearly turned staunchly New Age and died a New Ager in a double suicide (or was it suicide murder?) with his wife. He was recognized as a leading New Age figure by AQUARIAN CONSPIRACY author Marilyn Ferugon. She also mentions his important New Age book "Janus".
What I heard from Mr. Fulford was utter unthinkable and abhorrent. He called for murdering all the "Khazars" (called the 13th Tribe by Arthur Koestler).
From the same source, I received other materials that sicken me: The "The Gateway Pundit", Lara Logan videos about how Putin is so very innocent and only trying to save us from the Globalist Agenda of groups such as the World Economic Forum.
Nonsense! Only a very few short months ago, Russia signed a partnership agreement with the World Economic Forum to implement the "4th Industrial Revolution"!
Well, just for the argument's sake, shall we assume that most European Jews were not "true Jews" but were Khazars -- a group allegedly converting to Judaism to avoid other unpleasant circumstances?
Well, if that be the case, I want to go shake their hands for bravely undergoing the extreme persecution that Hitler meted out.
I am not going to allow my blogspot to be used to propagate theories calling for a "final solution" and "war against the Khazars." Tbe sickening videos I viewed by Mr. Fulford were on the Rumble video site -- a site connected to the Gateway Pundit and its owner Jim Hoft.
The Gateway Pundit seems to have no problems with the Russian invasion of the Ukraine nor with the United States Capitol insurrection of January 6, 2021. I have plenty of problems with both as all decent folks should!
Enough said!

tne Gateway Pundit also appears to be a central "information" (better known as dis--information for Qanon cult devotees.

ReplyDeleteThe United States is listed as having a population of Jewish people almost twice as large as Israel's. They are safer here than they are there. I wonder if two-thirds of the Jewish people in the United States are supposed to die and be eternally condemned, in the very near future, too.
I certainly hope not. But I don't believe so, because I believe Jesus was true His word, and their last judgment happened over 2,000 years ago. Personally, I don't look forward to any future slaughter of more Jewish people.

If the Bible teaches that the Second Coming of Jesus would be a coming in the flesh, then why did Jesus tell His Apostles they should not believe it if anybody claims that they see Jesus in the flesh in a specific location?
ReplyDeleteMatthew 24:23-28
New King James Version
23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.
26 “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.
Why did Alice Bailey insist that the Coming One would come in the flesh? Why did John Nelson Darby use similar language as Alice Bailey?

because Jesus said He will be visibloe to all not secretly but to ALL in the sky you biblical illiterate. Apparently people just read some little section zero in on something put the Bible down and forget the rest. Is that howyou normally read a book? READ ENTIRE BOOKS OF IT AT A TIME. This is why most prophecy experts are worthless, everything almost that you know is wrong, and its worse with your desire to feel secial you figure it will all happen in your lifetime. Forget it. prep for bad times "but the end is not yet" Jesus said!
Jesusis coming back IN THE SKY not some secret place IN THE FLESH. real simple. at the very least, read 20 verses prior and 20 verses after whatever verse is of concern to you. GET CONTEXT. Check the subject elsewhere. Read the Bible with the same common sense you would any other book.
IMMINENT RETURN IS a. not invisible and b. not going to be relevant until the antichrist has been doing his thing for three to three and a half years. However we should practice nepsis or watchfulness, over our hearts minds and behavior would we want Jesus to catchus doing whatever if He came back now?
And if this shows you apparent contradictions, just realize that the bible is llike a faceted gem or a tapestry, some ofit is here, some of it is there, andyo gotta put the whole thing together but NOT verse by veerse, that is a fast search and find method invented long after it was written. A;so context and translation issues and occasional scribal errors explain the rest.
Hopefully, since Ukraine never joined NATO, and Germany can veto NATO action and depends on Russia for gas everybody will stay out of it.

"Again with the lies." and refers to "Assembly resolution can’t decertify election results in Wisconsin
By ALI SWENSON
January 5, 2021
CLAIM: A new resolution in the Wisconsin legislature will likely decertify the state’s election results and award its electoral college votes to President Donald Trump."
I am NOT referring to this. I am referring to shortly after the Electoral College count, Wisconsin legislature wanted to decertify its results, but required a special legislature session to do it, and the governor refused to call this.
X says that Trump was "claiming to be an Apostle or chosen one, Cyrus King..."
APOSTLE DOES NOT MEAN CHOSEN ONE IT MEANS SENT and the present day so called Apostles are false. that office is defunct. I don't recall anyone calling Trump an Apostle, and the King Cyrus analogy was put on him by others but probably accepted and may not have been far off given he moved the embassy to Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, for political WEF /NWO type reasons and economic reasons (governments give the vaccines out free but pay for them with tax money billions of dollars at stake) the pandemic's death rate is exaggerated, incl. counting people as dead OF covid who were positive for it, but died of other causes, or as "unvaccinated" if vaccinated less than 14 days prior to hospitqalization. The Whole thing is a colossal fraud and there are several batches of vaccines with different codes to track who has what effects with Pfizer and probably others besides. Some of the things in the samples look alive.
The "vaccine" does not prevent infection, does not prevent spread from an infected but vaccinated person, all it does is make the sickness weaker. maybe. Meanwhile it seems to be possibly producing some of the variant mutations. IT THEREFORE FAILS THE VERY DEFINITION OF A VACCINE aside from its physical structure.

ReplyDeleteChristine has that right!
Constance,
ReplyDeleteI just hope you realize, because YOU CAN CONFIRM, that the creature who has been posting here on your blog as "paul", for the last year or so, is not me, the paul of the last ten years or so.
Apparently my biblical postings must have gotten on his nerves, and being an extremely vindictive and petty creature, I've had to cease commenting using my usual moniker. It's no big deal really, and I don't wish I could just pick up where I left off. I just want you to know that I have not gone over to the dark side.
I have not posted here under that name for quite a while now.
This is me, the Paul that Dorothy attacked often, and this is my address, which only you can see.
Happy springtime, and Happy Resurrection Sunday, Constance

36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
ReplyDelete37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.
44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”
45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
The Ascension of Jesus
50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.
John 21 Jesus at the seashore after His resurrection:
7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. 8 The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards.[c] 9 When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.
10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. 14 This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.
Literal body--His resurrection body could be seen, felt, recognized.

Robert Bowen is possibly our resident poet...
ReplyDeleteI once tied the poet to a person that posts regularly on unz.com by way of sharing the exact same posts "cut and pasted" in that forum and in this forum. Thus, Robert Bowen may be "Radical Center" with 6,700 comments on unz.com since 2015. He is of German descent, was raised in NYC; but, living in LA now and, get this, he is married to a Filipina wife and has mixed-race children himself despite being a overt white nationalist anti-semite. He may or may not drive a cab and, he may have gotten divorced about a year ago.
As I recall, he views Russia as a white nationalist utopia and wishes he could send his children there for education.
Maybe not...it's the internet.

ReplyDeletehttps://pastorbillholdridge.wordpress.com/tag/abraham-covenant/
ReplyDeleteAny thoughts, J?
This is a map that shows future boundaries for Israel as described in the Bible. They did not completely take all the land of the Abrahamic Covenant meant for his descendants through Isaac (and there is no time limit given in the Bible as to the fulfillment of this plan by God for the people and land of Israel) that they were to inherit in the days of Joshua led them to take it.
What is the actual land that rightly belongs to Israel? The key text for answering this question is found in Genesis 15:18-21,
“On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, ‘To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates — the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.’ ”Like any modern-day land purchase, the deed indicates the boundaries of the land given: from the Nile river (which is mainly modern Egypt and Sudan) to the Euphrates (modern-day Iraq). We know that these peoples lived in what is today Egypt, Sudan, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and of course all of Israel, including Gaza and the West Bank.
We can see that Israel’s history follows God’s plan as indicated in Deuteronomy 30:2-4, including the dispersion due to disobedience and regathering into the land because of the unchanging nature of the covenant:
“…and when you and your children return to the Lord your God and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today, then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you. ” They were scattered in A.D. 70 so a regathering is stated by God as a promise (sourced from Jewish Christians)
Ezekiel in captivity from chapter 40 on, talks about after the Lord comes to rule from the new temple in Jerusalem, and is a different description of the one that Herod built, the one there when Jesus came the first time, so that temple is built when His 1000 year reign begins and the land allotment will finally be completed as God intended when He made the covenant with Abraham.

Their own reporting comes back to haunt them, haha!
J @ 10:23 AM,
ReplyDeleteThe site you sourced, libertytothecaptives, is an example of what I might call ‘armchair theologizing’. It would take hours to unravel their convolutions; so, I’ll just scratch the surface here.
First, their primary premise seems to be that the KJB English version is the standard by which all other English versions are to be judged. They need to back up a bit (though I don’t think the writers have the requisite background to do so). The KJB is an English version translated from the Greek, and we should compare this with how well other English versions are translated from the Greek. I’ll take two examples to illustrate the site’s fallacy in this regard.
From their page John Darby Version Replaced "World" with "Age" (Dispensation) we’ll look at the first Scripture referenced, Matthew 12:32. In point of fact, the KJB translators chose to translate the Greek en toutō tō aiōni as “in this world” instead of the more literal “in this age”. Thus, Darby (and most other English versions) is better—arguably, correct as opposed to the KJB. Further, the KJB translators chose to translate the last clause en tō mellonti as “in the world to come” [in the KJB, an italicized word is one added to improve clarity in translation]. The final word (mellonti) is a present participle, with a root meaning of ‘to be about to’ or ‘in the future’, which is best translated “coming”. Darby renders the phrase “in the coming [one]”. Once again, Darby is the more faithful translation. [Note: there are no textual variants here, so this is NOT a factor.] In order to capture the essence succinctly, I’d translate the final bit: “neither in this age nor in the next”.
The second example refers to your “Coming in flesh (future tense)” you cited. This is in reference to 2John 1:7.
The site’s page is titled Darby/Scofield's "coming in flesh" Christ is Antichrist. Well, spoiler alert: No, it isn’t ‘Antichrist’. Like the above example, this is a present participle, though the root word actually IS more literally “coming”. The KJB seems to have conformed this to the near-parallel 1John 4:2, which has the same word, but as a perfect participle. That is, the KJB renders both the perfect participle in 1John 4:2 and the present participle in 2John 1:7 as “is come”. I personally prefer “has come” and “coming”, respectively; but “is come” in the former is just fine. But “is come” on the latter (2John 1:7) seems odd to me. At any rate, it’ll work, I suppose.
Yet, claiming that Darby’s “coming in [the] flesh” is a future tense instead of a present tense is flat out wrong! Following their parenthetical note on the page, they claim: Cyrus Scofield changed "is come in the flesh" to "coming in flesh," thereby denying that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. If that were the case, then surely the Darby translation of 1John 4:2 would confirm their claim. Yet it doesn’t. It is certainly a more literal translation, but it’s not incorrect: Hereby ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses Jesus Christ come in flesh is of God.
In any case, Jesus WILL return bodily, visibly:
Revelation 1:7 (KJB): Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
I cannot envision this as anything but yet future. How do you and/or DeMar understand this verse in its context?
Let me add: The syntelios that I translated "consummation" (as does Darby) is also used in Matthew 28:20 (as Michael Brown noted): kai idou egō meth’ hymōn eimi pasas tas hēmeras heōs tēs synteleias tou aiōnos:
ReplyDeleteYoung's Literal Translation: "and lo, I am with you all the days -- till the full end of the age."
My translation: "and, behold, I am with you always, even to the consummation of the age."
Really nice Biblical analysis Craig.
ReplyDeleteX
One further, tangential thought as regards any who are KJB-onlyists, or those who prefer for whatever reason the KJB: I'd noticed years ago that quite often the KJB appears to conform to the Catholic Douay-Rheims in places where it deviates from a more literal translation. In a few of these, I checked against the (RCC preferred) Latin Vulgate in which I found it more congruent. In other words, it appears in said passages that the KJB translators deferred to the Vulgate over against even the Greek Textus Receptus. See, e.g.:
ReplyDeleteMatthew 12:32 in the Vulgate
...in which saeculo means "world", as opposed to the Greek aiōni, which means "age" (see middle column in the latter).
Given that many KJB-onlyists tend to be anti-Roman Catholics, I find this a bit humorous.
^Actually, saeculo is more like "century" than "world". The Latin for "world" is mundus (Spanish is mundo, e.g.), though I've seen the (old) Latin orbis ("sphere") used for "world".
ReplyDeleteI don't think I opened a can of worms, but I think I pointed to its existence. It's already been opened in the Middle East a long time. As Christians, we should all dig deeper into it.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your digging deeper into the Greek text, Craig. It was helpful. I am continuing to learn about various translation issues. 99% of the time the original Greek words don't change meanings. Sometimes they change meanings a great deal. It matters a great deal whether the Greek said "end of the world (kosmos)" or "end of the age." When I took an amateur look at the original Greek word aionios it seemed to my untutored mind yesterday that it could be a "stretchy" word in terms of a designation of time. Context therefore becomes important for determining time stamps, to my untutored mind.
I've been questioned and challenged a few times by a few commenters. Rather than take up a lot of posts in this thread, I am just going to suggest some resources for digging deeper, and leave it up to each individual whether they care to take a look at these resources or not.

ReplyDeleteJ,
ReplyDeleteIt’s the internet. I can’t really accuse or prove anything. At one time I asked the question if he was double posting as the timing and passion of his supporters towards the lies in his posts seem off. When he linked a unz.com post I may have asked him it he was involved. I don’t recall exactly but it was never THAT accusatory. I’ve accused him of much worse with evidence.
But NOW, I do find it really odd that not only has RayB linked posts from ultra racist antisemetic Unz.com in the past, but also that Richard Bowen has the same initials as RayB, and that RayB, apparently prior to noticing this new thread, posted a link to a discussion and video involving gateway pundits own Linda Logan, Russia and Putin. Was it the same video that Richard Bowen sent Mrs. Cumbey…I don’t know but either way the timing is quite suspicious.
It seems ludicrous, I know.
X
You're right. It seems ludicrous.
ReplyDeleteThe Anonymous mad poet sometimes tried to say his lyrics were by Paul, sometimes by RayB. But sometimes he attributed them to "Richard," who never posted here under that name, to my knowledge.
ReplyDeleteThe one with trust issues here is you, x.
ReplyDeleteWe can't trust you because your bogus bo-gass-ity is so frequent and over the top.
You speak and act like a gasbag here, and it is you that has no credibility.
As in none.
Even on the rare occasion some here actually agree with you simply because you have made a decent point, your gaslighting, gasbag approach, to topics is what is ludicrous around here.
RayB is, and acts like a brother. I disagree with him at times, but he is not wholesale disagreeable-----like you are!!! Smear is your game, you fuel gossip and mischaracterizations like there is no tomorrow.
The "poet" is a nasty one, what a disgusting swirl in his head and posts...and it is awful the way he targets you, and others, and I'm glad that this is being acknowledge by the blog owner.
If you wanted real discussion here with yourself, you would tone your loud and proud self down, way down, and learn some humility and respect. of course, it is fact that you need us, not to have honest civil discussion with, but so you can spread propaganda.
In that, you are deeply needy. (and that is actually funny)
Actually, I don't think the mad poet has been consistent in his attribution of his lyrics. I think sometimes he may have used the name "Richard." I can't remember since he's littered the comments section with the lyrics so many times with so many inconsistent attributions.
ReplyDelete"I can’t really accuse or prove anything"
ReplyDeleteWhat?
Accuse is what you do, however, you are correct,
you can not prove anything as true, of the lies you post.
Yesterday Axios ran a story about the Ukraine War that was not picked up by either CNN or Fox News so far as I could tell. The headline of yesterday had read, Zelensky: "Ready for Negotiations" with Putin. In this Axios article from yesterday, Zelensky said that he was ready to agree Ukraine would not join NATO, and he might be willing to give Putin concessions regarding the annexed areas of Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteToday it has been updated. The headline of the article has been changed to say, Zelensky: "If we were a NATO member, a war wouldn't have started"
The body text of the article is very different than what I had recalled from yesterday. The link remains the same:
https://www.axios.com/zelensky-putin-negotiations-a0cda2ad-aea5-44e4-978a-edd015a26456.html
Correction: I guess I should have said "occupied territories of Ukraine," not "annexed areas of Ukraine."
ReplyDeleteI only saw the story yesterday, but it goes back to March 20. It appears to have been changed significantly since I read it last night. I saw it as one of the top headlines on Axios just yesterday. I don't read Axios daily.
Here is the archive version of the article:
https://web.archive.org/web/20220320151901/https://www.axios.com/zelensky-putin-negotiations-a0cda2ad-aea5-44e4-978a-edd015a26456.html
I got a couple details about it wrong in my first post about it, but I thought it might be important that it was so drastically changed!
I've taken a look around at other versions of this story from March 20. All are very heavily edited, going straight from, "I'm ready for negotiation" to a leap over all the details, to saying that if talks fail WW III will likely happen. I don't see anything about Zelensky saying he is willing for Ukraine not to be a NATO member or that he is willing to make concessions regarding occupied territories. Details are included farther down the story, but not those particular details. Wow. Zelensky was trying to say something that has been very, very overly edited.
ReplyDeleteThere isn't a timestamp for an archived version from yesterday. This is the latest archived version from the 20th. It's different than the first archived version from thr 20th. This is closer to what I read last night but still not completely the same.
ReplyDeletehttps://web.archive.org/web/20220320191644/https://www.axios.com/zelensky-putin-negotiations-a0cda2ad-aea5-44e4-978a-edd015a26456.html
ReplyDeleteBarry asked X: "Why is thy membrum so relaxed?"
X countered: "So that thou may takest me for the whole night, no fertilization can possibly result."
In the Axios article I read last night, Zelensky was apparently only repeating what he said as far back as March 8. It was edited out, edited back in, then edited out again, on Axios.

Then the headline was completely changed again.
ReplyDeleteZelensky is apparently trying to say different things than most of the media we consume present him as saying. It's just that he is very selectively edited. That's my take on it, anyway.
I'm going to copy and paste this whole France 24 news article from March 8.
In nod to Russia, Ukraine says no longer insisting on NATO membership
https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220308-in-nod-to-russia-ukraine-says-no-longer-insisting-on-nato-membership
Washington (AFP) – President Volodymyr Zelensky said he is no longer pressing for NATO membership for Ukraine, a delicate issue that was one of Russia's stated reasons for invading its pro-Western neighbor.
Advertising
In another apparent nod aimed at placating Moscow, Zelensky said he is open to "compromise" on the status of two breakaway pro-Russian territories that President Vladimir Putin recognized as independent just before unleashing the invasion on February 24.
"I have cooled down regarding this question a long time ago after we understood that ... NATO is not prepared to accept Ukraine," Zelensky said in an interview aired Monday night on ABC News.
"The alliance is afraid of controversial things, and confrontation with Russia," the president added.
Referring to NATO membership, Zelensky said through an interpreter that he does not want to be president of a "country which is begging something on its knees."
Russia has said it does not want neighboring Ukraine to join NATO, the transatlantic alliance created at the start of the Cold War to protect Europe from the Soviet Union.
In more recent years the alliance has expanded further and further east to take in former Soviet bloc countries, infuriating the Kremlin.
Russia sees NATO enlargement as a threat, as it does the military posture of these new Western allies on its doorstep.
Shortly before he shocked the world by ordering the invasion of Ukraine, Putin recognized as independent two separatist pro-Russian "republics" in eastern Ukraine -- Donetsk and Lugansk -- that have been at war with Kyiv since 2014.
Putin now wants Ukraine, too, to recognize them as sovereign and independent.
When ABC asked him about this Russian demand, Zelensky said he was open to dialogue.
"I'm talking about security guarantees," he said.
He said these two regions "have not been recognized by anyone but Russia, these pseudo republics. But we can discuss and find the compromise on how these territories will live on."
"What is important to me is how the people in those territories are going to live who want to be part of Ukraine, who in Ukraine will say that they want to have them in," Zelensky said.
"So the question is more difficult than simply acknowledging them," the president said.
"This is another ultimatum and we are not prepared for ultimatums. What needs to be done is for President Putin to start talking, start the dialogue instead of living in the informational bubble without oxygen."

ReplyDeleteUkraine and the New Al Qaeda

The eruption of war between Russia and Ukraine appears to have given the CIA the pretext to launch a long-planned insurgency in the country, one poised to spread far beyond Ukraine’s borders with major implications for Biden’s “War on Domestic Terror”
As the conflict between Ukraine and Russia continues to escalate and dominate the world’s attention, the increasing evidence that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is and has been working to create and arm an insurgency in the country has received considerably little attention considering its likely consequences. This is particularly true given that former CIA officials and a former Secretary of State are now openly saying that the CIA is following the “models” of past CIA-backed insurgencies in Afghanistan and Syria for its plans in Ukraine. Given that those countries have been ravaged by war as a direct result of those insurgencies, this bodes poorly for Ukraine.
Yet, this insurgency is poised to have consequences that reach far beyond Ukraine. It increasingly appears that the CIA sees the insurgency it is creating as more than an opportunity to take its hybrid war against Russia ever closer to its borders. As this report will show, it appears the CIA is determined to manifest a prophecy propagated by its own ranks over the past two years. This prediction from former and current intelligence officials dates from at least early 2020 and holds that a “transnational white supremacist network” with alleged ties to the Ukraine conflict will be the next global catastrophe to befall the world as the threat of Covid-19 recedes.
Per these “predictions”, this global network of white supremacists – allegedly with a group linked to the conflict in the Donbas region of Ukraine at its core – is to become the new Islamic State-style threat and will undoubtedly be used as the pretext to launch the still-dormant infrastructure set up last year by the US government under President Biden for an Orwellian “War on Domestic Terror.”

My reading is that Zelensky has figured out that not only won't Ukraine be kept out of NATO, but Ukraine will be a killing field for years, like Afghanistan was. Now that he's figured it out, he wants to make peace with Putin, even at the cost of renouncing the hope of joining NATO (a false hope anyway) and even at the cost of recognizing the occupied provinces that Putin had already invaded (like Crimea). But that's not in the plan, so if Zelensky manages to say what he really wants, it gets edited to say something friendlier to the plan.
ReplyDeleteThe long term plan is to create a new War on Terror, but this one will be a War on White Supremacist Terror. It will be in countries across eastern Europe and destabilize Russia while draining it as it was drained in Afghanistan. And it will be a domestic war in the United States as well.
The white supremacists or neo-Nazis of Ukraine are right now being armed as an insurgency against the Russian invasion, but when the time is right, it will be like Osama Bin Laden. Once he was armed as a freedom fighter. Then years later he was the mastermind behind 9/11.

Lindsey Graham tore into Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson again on Wednesday as he lambasted the Supreme Court nominee for thinking 'supervision' was an adequate deterrent for child pornography distributors and viewers. It came as he asked the nominee about other issues, including on whether an illegal immigrant should be allowed to vote or if a 20-week-old fetus can feel pain, to which she said she did not know. Graham claimed during the third day of Jackson's confirmation hearing that the only punishment should be putting their 'a** in jail.'
ReplyDeleteJackson pushed back against the South Carolina senator's claim that she believes the number of images viewed or distributed shouldn't be considered in child porn cases' sentencing. She insisted instead that her judicial record does show that she imposed 'substantial' internet supervision on violators.
'Wait, you think it is a bigger deterrent to take somebody who is on a computer, looking at sexual images of children in the most disgusting way, is to supervise their computer habit versus putting them in jail?' Graham questioned, raising his voice and showing visual disgust.
'No, I didn't say versus,' Jackson tried to clarify but was railroaded by Graham's irate line of questioning.
'That's exactly what you said,' the Republican lawmaker asserted.
'I think the best way to deter people from getting on a computer and viewing thousands and hundred – and over time maybe millions, the population as a whole – of children being exploited and abused every time somebody clicks on is to put their a** in jail,' he offered. 'Not supervise their computer usage.'
Graham's 20 minutes of questioning was in line with other criticism of Jackson issued Tuesday when Republicans questioned Jackson on her sentencing of child porn offenders.

ReplyDeleteSorry, but if you get this wrong you won't get anything else right, either.
I am so ashamed of people who refuse to say and honor the truth, yet want a seat at our highest court.
The Right has swallowed much Russian disinformation, making it as dangerous - or more so because it is not so obvious - as what the Left puts out.
ReplyDeletePlease re-read Lee Penn's "False Dawn", where he mostly talks about the United Religions Initiative, and other globalist entities like the World Economic Forum, which he classifies as the "anti-tradition".
The Antichrist and his global movement could well come out of the anti-tradition crowd. But toward the end of the book, he writes about a possible "counter-tradition", which arises out of a backlash against the anti-tradition that is now everywhere.
Instead of returning to "tradition", or Biblical Christianity, the world may turn to a "counter-tradition" movement or movements - the Third Way, the "radical middle", an uprising of Humanity, and others, that comes from the far Right. He warns of several groups, like Opus Dei.
It's kind of a "Tale of Two NWOs", where one is obviously evil and Black Hat, and the "solution" to that evil poses as a White Hat. The White Hats in the counter-tradition crowd pose as "saviors of humanity", promising to deliver us all from the Black Hats, but their revolution of Humanity and Freedom could (will?) end up being every bit as tyrannical as the ones they seek to destroy.
"Gateway" Pundit is a fair example of a gateway on the Right through which the New Age's revolution of Humanity could slip through. It also posts stories that are skewed or contain partially false information, just to push an agenda. (For example, using photos to show voter fraud, when the photos showed nothing of the kind.)
Lee Penn's False Dawn" - check it out. Especially Part 4, Chapters 24 and on.
Is it just coincidence that many New Agers are espousing the same things as people and groups on the Right? Pro-Trump, pro-draining the swamp, anti-vaccine, talking about a reawakening, and even talking about restoring America to her "past glory". The question you have to ask is, why are Patriotic Christians and others on the Right and some New Agers coming into alignment in many areas?
New Agers also align with much on the Left as well, but we've focused so much on the invasion from the Left, we risk missing the flanking maneuver on the Right.

ReplyDelete"New Agers also align with much on the Left as well, but we've focused so much on the invasion from the Left, we risk missing the flanking maneuver on the Right."
ReplyDeleteYes, this is true.
The warnings have gone out from this site over the years and that is good.
But something has happened here too, and it's not good--it is in keeping with what you are saying @ 8:20 AM.
Those who are firmly holding on to the founding, that don't see a "savior" from either extreme, still get caught in the middle of that fray and the baby has gone out with the bathwater repeatedly for it.
I believe that is a good number of people here, who can and do "chew the meat and spit out the bones" because the internet is rife with all of what you described from the book, so they are labelled and reprimanded so much, though they see the difference, knowing that the liberal left has flooded so much "news" that doesn't let that true picture come out. And the far right's agenda, to a lesser degree but still a big degree, has muddied things further. Progressive left and establishment right are hand in hand against the true middle.
I think the progressive here and the blog owner have muddied those very waters that could otherwise be a lot clearer.
It going to taking more discernment than ever to find where the truth actually does shake out..
People (even good ones we respect) are not going to provide that, God does.
People are people, but God is God.
It's time to really know what that really means.
Constance Cumbey, it seems that you don't like or appreciate your long-time supporters.

I respect you for your past work and that will not change. Currently, things are quite disappointing around here. Gotta wonder what you tolerate and don't tolerate and why.
ReplyDeleteThere is a right, and left among New Agers. Every social/political group is susceptible to Satans lies. I have known many New Agers for decades. The sad thing is that many New Agers have much more understanding of what's going on than Christians. In large Christianity has been liberalized, and dumbed down to a staggering degree. When the Lord returns, will He find faith on earth?
ReplyDelete11:07...
ReplyDeleteMy, how you flip that around. Like MAGA is the middle and the "establishment" right is the problem group partnering with the far left.
Forgive me if I get this wrong but I think Marko's point was that Lee Penn, mind you...in 2004, was anticipating MAGA (or something like it...which specifically included Opus Dei) as a secular (unbiblical) conservative counter-tradition movement (i.e. - the third way) being the ultimate danger as a OVER-response to the left not really tied to Biblical tradition (thus, they can lie and be ruthless).
Welcome back Marko. I've long enjoyed your contributions here.
x
p.s. - take note of what Marko is saying as I've been writing about it for a couple years here now...MAGA/Qanon is, in my opinion, the "flanking maneuver" Marko/Lee Penn warned about --- a kind of surging faux-biblical counter traditional surging Authoritarianism movement.
Marko said: "Is it just coincidence that many New Agers are espousing the same things as people and groups on the Right? Pro-Trump, pro-draining the swamp, anti-vaccine, talking about a reawakening, and even talking about restoring America to her "past glory".

New Agers also align with much on the Left as well, but we've focused so much on the invasion from the Left, we risk missing the flanking maneuver on the Right."
I'd add or include in that list of intersections between the New Age and MAGA as: Qanon, Robert Kennedy, Jr, health foods and alternative medicine & therapies, Bethel and Hillsong music, mega-church false teachers, etc.

5.34 million, and counting, look to Brand for credible news, that's who. He ALWAYS lists his sources AND he reads directly from them, interspersing with funny bits as comic relief. It's effective. But, more importantly, his content is truthful--at least as truthful as the sources he uses. If you or anyone thinks he's being untruthful, or if you think his sources are erroneous in some way, by all means refute him/them. In the meantime, dismissing him due to his bi-polar condition--which obviously is being controlled--is mean-spirited and quite un-Christian-like.

Hank Hanegraaff, on his show The Bible Answer Man, used to say regarding doctrine, “in essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty.” Eschatology is considered ‘non-essential’; so, why has he become dogmatic on his preterist position? The same charge can be leveled against Dispensationalists, too, most especially in the pre-trib rapture.
ReplyDeleteBelow is Gary DeMar with Hanegraaff, in a pretty good outline of their eschatological beliefs. In their view, Matthew 24:3–34 depicts the destruction of the Temple of AD70. However, a VERY glaring omission in their explanations are this part of the disciples’ question in v 3, “…and what will be the sign of Your coming…” and Jesus’ reply in vv 30–31:
30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. 31 And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
That will only happen when He returns in final judgment.
An attendant problem is a claim made about v 14: “and the Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached to all the inhabited world (oikoumenē), for a testimony to all the nations/peoples, and then the end (telos) will come”. Their claim is that oikoumenē is meant to be delimited to the Roman Empire. This is predicated on the word’s usage in Luke 2:1: pas ho oikoumenē, all the inhabited world. However, the context there is about a census by Caesar Augustus, which would obviously ONLY include the Roman Empire. However, the very next usage of this word, in Luke 4:5, throws a wrench in their claim: “And he [the devil] led Him [Jesus] up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the inhabited world (oikoumenē)...” This must mean more than merely the Roman Empire. Thus, their appeal to Luke 4:2 solely, looks like a case of selective cross-referencing. Like most words, individual contexts determine meanings. In the case of Matt 24:14, it appears more likely to refer to the end of all time, given the final clause (“and then the end will come”) in conjunction with the penultimate clause (“for a testimony to all the nations/peoples”).

Great breakdown, Craig.
ReplyDeleteThe body of the chapter speaks exactly to 2 fulfillments, a near future event and a far future event, by answering it's opening question:
and what will be the sign of Your coming?
That, and other instances, helped me understand that when dealing with prophecy (and it is secondary to the Gospel itself, not a test of one's salvation) there are, at times, events that were like test - and a lesson plan - run first through the world's example, the Jews and their promised land (and part of why they were chosen by God for this role), and then the world as a whole. Some of them smaller events, that foreshadow broader, fuller, prophecy.
Nothing of God, was, or will be, done in a corner.
New American Standard Bible
Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. 1 Cor 10:11 (I read this in my devotion time just this morning)
and Ezekiel 5:15
So you will be a reproach and a taunt, a warning and a horror to the nations around you, when I execute judgments against you in anger, wrath, and raging fury. I, the LORD, have spoken.
The Jewish people, the natural branches were not spared but God is able to graft them in again at a future date.
Romans 9-10 expounded this beautifully
Regarding the above Are We Living in the Last Days with Gary Demar (Hank Unplugged Podcast), there’s another problem in their argument about imminence. After citing Rev 22:10 (‘do not seal up the words of this prophecy’) @ 1:20:37, which is then correlated to Daniel 12:4, DeMar goes on to claim that Rev 22:10 is the unsealing of Dan 12:4 (‘conceal these words and seal up the book’). The problem is that in Daniel’s context the language is clearly about end times final judgment (NASB 1995):
ReplyDelete12:1 “Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued. 2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. 4 But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.”
The LXX Greek of “until the end of time” is eōs kairou synteleias (note the bold, which is used in Matt 24:3; 28:20), which is more literally “until [the] season’s consummation”, or “until the consummation of [the] season”. Verses 2 and 3 make it clear that this refers to the ushering in of the NEXT age, the one in which some receive “everlasting life”, while the others receive “everlasting contempt”.
Hanegraaff and DeMar gloss over these things in order to ‘prove’ their position. I see this over and over ad nauseum in the various eschatological schemata. I think there’s a mixture of views, and a ‘compression’ of time in certain areas (the First and Second Comings), and not one strictly preterist or futurist view. In attempts to tidy up, these proponents make things messy.
Even a five year old can answer you:
ReplyDeleteWhat she should have said...
Craig,
ReplyDeleteSo you are affirming if a man has gender reassignment surgery and replaces his penis with a vagina then he is, according to your definition, a woman?
That's a lot further than I'd go with the definition were I too attempt to do such.
As an attorney, I bet Mrs Cumbey would be able to explain how such an open ended question with significant legal and societal ramifications isn't easily given a bumper sticker definition by our judicial system let alone a single judge upon oral questioning. You may as well as her how to define "what is the meaning of life" in two minutes or less.
It's not uncommon either, Ronald Reagan's supreme court appointee, Justice Anthony Kennedy couldn't define the biblical term marriage correctly within the multi-year judicial process of deciding Obergfell v Hodges let alone define the term during his senate confirmation hearings.
Also - speaking of HARD dominionism, that is Sen. Marsha Blackburn questioning Judge Jackson. Blackburn is part of a group of republicans that want to ban birth control and thinks the supreme court cases that made birth control legal even for married couples, like Griswold v Connecticut should be reversed. So much for libertarian values.

X states @ 9:46 PM ...
ReplyDelete"FYI,
RayB added ANOTHER gateway pundit post to the last thread adding additional evidence that he may be Richard Bowen, the poet posting the above juvenile stuff, a Qanon devotee, and a troll here to monitor, attack, undermine and contradict Mrs. Cumbey and her comments forum.
Please note, he was disagreeing with Mrs. Cumbey and posting outrageous MAGA/Qanon stuff here long before I got here."
NOTE: This is my first post on this new thread, so kindly disregard anything above that is attributed in my name.
X is at it again (so what else is new?). He states that I was "posting outrageous MAGA/Qanon stuff" on this blog, which I never have. I have NEVER been a follower of Qanon and have NEVER posted anything from him/her. So once AGAIN, X is lying.
It is hilarious that X accuses me of being "Richard Bowen ... the poet ..." a "troll" (an accusation made by the Troll of trolls ... how sweet is that?), etc.
Once again, X and Constance go 'off the tracks' in their GUILT BY ASSOCIATION JUDGMENT game by apparently associating EVERYTHING ever posted on the Gateway Pundit with me simply because I posted several links from the Gateway Pundit on this blog.
Constance consistently issues high handed judgments upon ALL who merely question her positions on a whole variety of subjects. In her latest thread, she accuses some nameless bloggers of being "anti-semitic." Name them Constance, and give specific examples.
If you question the mainstream media's propaganda on the events of January 6th., along with the information provided on the war in Ukraine, you are NOT a "decent person," according to Constance. Several times, I asked Constance to specifically address the issue of one Ray Epps, the man that was #14 on the FBI's poster seeking the identification of the Jan. 6th. 'insurrectionists." The FBI inexplicably removed Epps from their published list. Yet, Epps is seen on numerous videos on that day provoking the crowds to ATTACK the CAPITOL. Epps has NEVER been arrested and charged with "Insurrection." So far, Constance has refused to address the Ray Epps issue. Why is that Constance?
Constance has attacked decent people on this blog as being "Qanon cult followers," accused Trump supporters as those that believe Trump to be their "Messiah," liberally labels people as "anti-semitic," "probable racist," etc., etc. All of this has been done without a shred of justification, and you are doing it again. She has also allowed "X" to do the same without the slightest attempt to curb his vicious, lying slander.
Constance, either provide us all with specific justification for your accusations, or, do what is right; humble yourself and apologize to those that you have offended by your reckless accusations.
ReplyDeleteI posted this video link previously and cannot recommend it enough. Unlike the mainstream media propaganda, this video explores the depth of the real world of geopolitics. It currently has 15 + Million views.
Wars ALWAYS have two sides to the story, but the victors are the ones that write the history. And, during the initial outbreak of war, the first casualty is always the truth. The professional propagandists see to that.
This video is only 30 minutes long, but it presents factual information which led up to the war, along with the provocative actions of NATO, the US, and Ukraine. You will NEVER see this type of information being provided by the mainstream media.
Grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and THINK:
Why Russia is Invading Ukraine

ReplyDeleteI wanted to share a couple of recent conversations I had regarding the subject of "war."
"Joe" is a dispensationalist that staunchly believes in supporting the nation of Israel in all matters, due entirely to his understanding (i.e., misunderstanding) of the verse "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." - Genesis 12:3
We were having a brief conversation regarding the problems in the Middle East, particularly regarding Syria and Iran. Joe's answer for these 'problems'? "BOMB ALL ARAB NATIONS and return them back to the Stone Age." I was shocked by his statement, not only because of what he said, but because Joe is a gentleman! When I said to him that there are Christians in those countries, and that I have known a few people from Iran, Egypt, Iraq and Saudi Arabia and that NONE of them were 'radicals,' his response was "so what?"
Another conversation I had recently was with "Dan." Dan is a very conservative, holds a Master's degree in Accounting, is a devout Catholic (is also a Eucharistic Minister." Dan fully supports a US enforced "no fly zone" in Ukraine, along with increased MILITARY involvement of NATO & US forces. When I pointed out to him that that would most certainly start World War III which would certainly go Nuclear resulting in the cost of perhaps 100 MILLION + lives, he replied, "but we can't allow Putin's aggression to go unchecked."
These were VERY depressing conversations. I couldn't help but wonder, based upon this sampling, how many more millions of Americans must believe this type of dangerous nonsense?
With that in mind ... watch this. Is this where we are heading?

ReplyDeleteThoughts From a Former Nun on Drugs, Transgenderism, & “Mary” Apparitions
https://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/blog/?p=33952
Thank you for David Dombrowski’s new booklet titled Drugs, Meditation and a “Fully Developed Spirituality.” And for making the full text of it available online. This is such an important subject. I hope that this booklet will spread far and wide.
David mentioned how that shaman used drugs to enter into that trance state. Well, my home state of __________ has now legalized marijuana. And the progressives want to legalize marijuana nationally. Technically speaking, marijuana isn’t considered to be a hallucinogenic drug. However, it sure functions like one. It can cause people to become severely bipolar. And it can cause people to become psychotic. I’ve thought for some time that what is going on in many of those cases is that the people who are smoking pot have become demonized because of it. In other words, it could be demonic activity combined with chemical changes that affect the mind and the ability to think rationally.
I’m seeing some other parallels. The cruelty towards women that results from this. We are already seeing that with girls in public schools who are getting urinary tract infections because they are afraid to use the women’s rest room, because boys who falsely claim to be transgenders go there to prey on the girls there. (For every genuine transgender, there must be multitudes of sexual predators who will fake it in order to gain access to the girls.)
On top of that, some colleges allow young men who claim to be transgenders to be the roommates of young women — and the women are not warned about that ahead of time. They just arrive at college and discover that their roommate is a man.
The current administration is now requiring shelters for abused women to allow transgenders to live there. In other words, sexual predators who pretend to be women will be living with desperate women who ran away from their abusive husbands or boyfriends.
On top of that, there is now a push to allow men in men’s prisons who claim to be transgender to be transferred to a women’s prison. Which means that women prisoners will be locked up with sexual predators who stalk them in bathrooms, when they are taking a shower, etc. And may share the same prison cell with them. And from what I read, if a man’s crime was a sexual crime, that does not prevent him from being able to do this.
David mentioned the coming one-world religion. I’m sure that apparitions of “Mary” will show up to promote that thing. And that when the Antichrist comes out on center stage, that apparitions of “Mary” will show up to push people into following him.
Most Catholics and Orthodox would fall for that. Some supposedly born-again evangelicals would also fall for that. (I know of one who went overseas in order to visit a site that was supposedly having apparitions of “Mary” show up.)
Obviously, Hindus and other people who worship goddesses would fall for that. Including many Buddhists. (Some Chinese restaurants have pictures of a goddess on their walls.)
Surprisingly, many Muslims would fall for it. Years ago, there was an apparition of “Mary” that kept showing up above a Coptic church in Egypt. Many Muslims came to see it. And they bowed down on their prayer rugs and chanted verses from the Koran that honor Mary.
On a related note, apparitions of “Mary” cannot be her because no servant of God would ever allow themselves to be worshipped like that. And that thing often shows up holding a rosary and openly encouraging people to worship it. Therefore, it must be demonic.
We are in times in which much prayer, discernment, and godly wisdom is needed among believers. As the Bible states, many will be deceived.
J,
ReplyDeleteThanks, as always, for your informative posts. Regarding your 4:13 PM ...
I was not aware of the fact that there are Muslims that are fooled into believing the RCC Mary idolatry. That is very interesting, and it makes me think that the same demons that are at work in deceiving Muslims are also at work in the deception of the RCC's obsession with their false, unbiblical invention of 'Mary.'
By the way, your post @ 4:11 PM includes the pope's consecration 'prayer.' It is a prime example of idolatry and blasphemy, because it attributes powers to 'Mary' that only God has, and literally elevates her to the very Throne of God. Absolute pagan blasphemy!
For many years, I have personally held to the belief that there are only 3 possibilities to the 'apparitions' of Mary:
1. They are real and from God.
2. They are counterfeit 'apparitions' that are created by man in order to fool their gullible followers.
3. They are real, but are Satanic deceptions.
Regarding #1 ... This can be completely ruled out because the 'apparitions' violate so much of Scripture, and, they contradict the Bible's declarations regarding the REAL Mary. The RCC's 'Mary' is really nothing other than the repackaging of a pagan goddess that is being masqueraded, among other claims, to be the source for 'grace, mercy and peace.' It is pure idolatry. Only God has the authority to disperse His grace & mercy, and He alone does so as He sovereignly decides. Only God has the ability to answer our prayers, so any 'prayer' to the RCC's 'Mary' is completely pointless, other than the fact that some of these 'prayers' to her can be 'answered' by Demonic forces. Not only that, prayers to 'Mary' are downright blasphemous as they directly violate the Scriptures which declare that "... there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" - 1 Timothy 2:5
Regarding #2 ... Over the centuries, the RCC has implemented countless religious frauds in order to fool their religious followers. One of the biggest of all is their claimed ability to transform a man-made wafer into the living God that created the entire Universe, only to be then eaten by the 'faithful.'
Regarding #3 ... No doubt, some of these apparitions are Satanic deceptions.
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." - 2 Corinthians 11:13-15
As time goes on, look for more of these 'miraculous' deceptions:
"For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." - Matthew 24:24
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Constance believes regarding the 'apparitions' of Mary?
Are they of God, are they of man, or are they a Satanic deception?
J,
ReplyDeleteI was just reading about this the other day.
It's interesting what Michael Voris at Opus Dei's Church Militant thinks about this.
I linked directly to the part where the correspondent says it's not really dogma; however, every roman catholic he knows [should] believes in Fatima and if Fatima ORDERS the consecretion of Russia that's precisely what the pope should be doing.
They also get hung up on it needing to be "all the bishops of the church" and since the pope has made ecumenical peace with the Orthodox Greek and Russian Orthodox churches that necessarily means their bishops need be included too.
Then get to the part where "the lady" [fatima] threatens that if it doesn't happen various countries will be annihilated.
Or the part they ask the question whether things that have been previously consecrated, how or why do they need consecrating again and is the Vatican, in (re)-consecrating Russia admitting a previous error or mistake?
Just so much time and energy invested into pleasing an anti-christ.

ReplyDeleteWhy hasn't the Mainstream Media been reporting on this with the same Ukraine/Russia conflict with 24/7 coverage? Could it be ... dare I say it ... that they are 'probably racist' ?? Or more likely, the New World Order isn't concerned about the little nation of Ethiopia, which plays no strategic part in their New World Order plans?
Are the lives of the people of Ethiopia less important than those of Ukraine?
War in Ethiopia Has Killed Half-a-Million People But American Attention Is Herded to Ukraine
https://thelibertydaily.com/war-in-ethiopia-has-killed-half-a-million-people-but-american-attention-is-herded-to-ukraine/
The consecration of Russia by Pope Francis on Friday, March 25, 2022 has a direct link to the six monthly apparitions of the Blessed Mother (the mother of Jesus) to the 3 children of Fatima, Portugal between May 13, 1917 and October 13, 1917.
ReplyDeleteFYI: The Russian Revolution began in 1917 thru 1923.
In the apparition of July 13, 1917... Our Lady warned the three seers that if people did not stop offending God, He would punish the world “by means of war, hunger and persecution of the Church and of the Holy Father,” using Russia as His chosen instrument of chastisement. She told the children that “to prevent this, I shall come to ask for the Consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart” and promised that, by this single public act, Russia would be converted and peace would be given to the world.
Our Lady cautioned that if her requests were not granted, “Russia will spread its errors throughout the world, raising up wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer and various nations will be annihilated.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________
On October 13, 1917, a crowd witnessed a miraculous event that was recorded by journalists, lawyers and scientists.
Thousands of individuals gathered near Fatima, Portugal, on October 13, 1917, to witness the next apparition of Our Lady. What they saw was widely reported at the time and became known as the “Miracle of the Sun.”

Matthew 1:18-25
ReplyDelete18 Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost.
19 Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying:
23 Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24 And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.
25 And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Luke 1:26-38
ReplyDelete26 And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.
31 Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever.
33 And of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34 And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?
35 And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36 And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren:
37 Because no word shall be impossible with God.
38 And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

ReplyDeletePS: Although Stone's Documentary was released in 2016, you will see distinct parallels to the 'protests' that were conducted in the USA by Black Lives Matter & Antifa over the last few years, along with the events surrounding January 6th.
WATCH this video ... it is extremely informative!
ReplyDeleteFrom her latest thread, Constance writes:
Disgusting anti-Semitism aka anti-Khazarian -- polluting this blog spot comment section
"I have been receiving emails from one Robert Bowen that bluntly disgust and alarm me. I fear that this mode of thinking has penetrated my blogspot to no small degree. Repentance from all propagating this information is needed."
Constance also states:
I am not going to allow my blogspot to be used to propagate theories calling for a "final solution" and "war against the Khazars."
Constance states that she received EMAILS from a "Robert Bowen." Yet, she claims that somehow these emails have polluted this "blog spot comment section." How exactly did these private emails that she received impact this comment section?
She also heavily implies that there are commenters on this blogspot that are "calling for a "final solution and "war against the khazars."
These are extremely serious charges. It behooves Constance to supply the specific evidence that supports her claim that there are those on this blog that have actually promulgated such off the charts radicalism.

Go look in the mirror, and you will see plenty of idolitry that you need to deal with! Take the beam out of your own eye first.

Then there is all the subtle anti-semiticism like the overuse of dog-whistle words like "elites" and "bankers".
ReplyDeleteTrump's Cabinet was by far more wealthy and "elite" than Obamas and even Bush's. Betsy Devos ($1.2 Billion) alone had far more money than Obama's entire staff. Add in Rex Tillerson, Albur Ross and Steve Mnunchin and you've got over 2 billion dollars of "elites".
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/03/09/trump-wealthiest-cabinet-members-217336/
So it's not really just rich people your concerned about as these "elites" seem fine, what do you really mean when you repeat "elites" time and time again as being the problem?

p.s. - it's just like qanon, you don't realize she is referring to you.
Here's another post by Mrs. Cumbey discussing the anti-semiticism she observed coming from Rick Wiles at TruNews. Go to the thread, RayB immediately proceeded to defend the anti-semite.
ReplyDeleteConstance said:
"I just watched Rick Wiles' TruNews latest program and I am disturbed by what I saw and the positions being taken. I wish I knew for real what the source of his anti-Semitism is. He was very nice to me on his network and to his credit and Doc Burkhart's credit, they did not censor me. However, with that being said, I take my Scriptures very literally, unfashionable as that may be. Governing scriptures on this issue are manifold. I will start with Zechariah 12. It was a clear prophecy that yes the Jews would reject their coming Messiah -- one whom they would pierce (crucify); however, as St. Paul told us in Romans, "we were beloved for the election's sake, they were beloved for their fathers' sake."
The target of New Age forces are all monotheistic religions -- they regard Jews, Christians, and Moslems as "Peoples of the Book" -- all 3 dead and gone religions that must die. The strategy was to pit the 3 religions against each othre so we would fight each other to the death (Alice Bailey, Peter Lemesurier to name a few.)
I am suspecting Eustace's Mullins influences in much of this type of anti-Semitic thinking coming from Christians. Yes, there are many Jews unfortunately caught up in New Age and other ideologies. James Webb not inaccurately described them in his books as "self-hating Jews." Arthur Koestler who died a fervent New Ager in what was an apparent suicide-murder situatin with his wife as I recall was one of these sorts. In fact, Koestler himself was a purveyor of anti-Semitism with his book THE THIRTEENTH TRIBE.
I would dearly love to sit down with Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart and have an honest discussion of these facts and the obvious contradictions of some of their blanket imputation of world evils to Judaism rather than the more reasonable interpretation that these evils infested Judaism as they infested just about everything else.
Constance"

RayB said @ 12:50 PM
Constance,
Perhaps it would be informative if you stated exactly what it is that you are in disagreement with regarding Rick Wiles.
Aside from whatever it is that you disagree with him about, I felt compelled to write briefly the following:
Dispensationalists have a funny habit that immediately knee jerks into the charge of "anti-Semitism" if anyone even questions their interpretations regarding Israel, which, incidentally, didn't take root at all here in America until the early 20th. Century, via the Scofield Reference Bible. In the past on this blog, I was personally charged (I forgot by whom) of having been "influenced" by the writings of one Eustace Mullins. Amazingly, I never even heard of him let alone read anything that he wrote.
While it can easily be proven that the Scriptures clearly teach a system that is diametrically opposed to Dispensationalism, it doesn't seem to matter. Numerous verses and passages specifically interpret, for example, Genesis 12:3. Dispensationalists simply brush away what the Bible declares regarding this pivotal verse, yet claim to believe in the Bible "literally." (I would be glad to provide those Scripture verses and passages that interpret Gen. 12:3, if interested).
Just one point to make, only because you referenced Zechariah 12, a favorite of Dispensationalists because they claim there will be an almost universal conversion of Jews because, empowered with renewed understanding, "they shall look upon me whom they have pierced." Does the Bible really teach that? Or, has this prophecy already been "fulfilled?"
Read what John had to say about Zechariah 12 ... "For these things were done, THAT THE SCRIPTURE SHOULD BE FULFILLED, A bone of him shall not be broken. And again ANOTHER SCRIPTURE saith, "THEY SHALL LOOK UPON HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED." John 19:36,37 (caps mine for emphasis)
The Scriptures literally declare that the Zechariah prophecy has been fulfilled.

X 12:43 PM,
ReplyDeleteI just went to the link and read RayB's reply. He did not "immediately defend the anti-Semite." He asked Constance to state what she specifically saw as anti-Semitic. He wondered if she was perceiving anti-Semitism in what might really only be anti-Dispensationalism. Since she completely ignored RayB, there was no further discussion.
I like Constance, and I respect her work, but I have come to the conclusion that she deals in black-and-white and does not deal in fine distinctions.
I see this in her ecumenism. I don't know what else to call it.
I am glad she has repeatedly pointed out that "The Plan" is to get the "people of the book" to conveniently kill each other off.
I'm disappointed at the irony that she can't see that evangelical Dispensational Zionism is HELPING that aspect of "The Plan."
I'm also disappointed that she can't see that the one world religion is shaping up to be compatible with Christian ecumenism and Chrislam, both of which are roads leading to Rome.
She has never written one single word, to my knowledge, about Rick Warren, who is a New Ager in Christian clothing and who is leading the evangelical world into ecumenism. She has never written one word, to my knowledge, about the similarities between traditional Catholic mystics who have become saints, New Age meditation, and evangelical contemplative spirituality.
Well, she is just one woman, she can't write about everything, and she got a whole discernment movement started. Others are writing about those topics at places such as Lighthouse Trails. Maybe they wouldn't be writing about it had she not called attention to the New Age infiltration of the church.
It's just that I don't trust her as THE authority due to her lack of fine distinctions. I can see how she has been successful, because she doesn't waver or back down, and she doesn't mince words. There are pros and cons. She is who she is, and she has done a great service. But again, she is not THE authority.
One thing Constance emphasizes, and this is where I do agree with her, is that the real problem is the pre-flood Mystery Babylon false religion that infiltrated ancient Israel and that has infested every Christian church. It's not exclusive to Judaism, Catholicism, or Protestant churches. It used to be found more in the mainline Protestant churches, but it's increasingly overrunning the evangelical churches, even the Southern Baptist Convention.
ReplyDeleteTo scapegoat the "Khazarians" as the vector of infection is historically and spiritually wrong.
I think it's logically and morally consistent to hold that opinion while opposing Dispensationalism and Zionism.
Why even conservative Christians could unintentionally turn to Sola Cultura instead of Sola Scriptura. Doing so could make them play into the hands of a dialectic. Rather than looking first at the Bible - including the Old Testament law and wisdom literature - they would look first at the culture and then choose their side. Dispensationalists are even more likely to do this.

RayB (and J will be interested, I’m sure),
ReplyDeleteRegarding Zechariah 12:10, I don’t think your interpretation is entirely correct. It’ll take a little bit, but let me explain.
First of all, I do not dispute that John 19:36 clearly means a Scripture, a singular portion of Scripture (though this can mean verbiage that was repeated in more than one place), was fulfilled (Exodus 12:46/Numbers 9:12 [Jesus as Passover Lamb]; maybe Psalms 34:20). That is, John 19:36 speaks of fulfilling A Scripture (ho graphē NOT hai graphai): For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, ‘A bone of him shall not be broken’ (all Scripture quotations in your preferred KJV).
Now, pay careful attention to the wording in John 19:37:
And again another scripture saith, ‘They shall look on him whom they pierced’.
This verse does not state that this is actually fulfilled. I understand this can be seen as unnecessarily splitting hairs; and, perhaps in one sense it is. But, there’s more to this. Even if we were to agree this fulfills Zech 12:10, we must then concede that it does not fulfill it in its entirety, for it omits the portion “and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.” Thus, at best, it only partially fulfills it.
Why is this important?
This is important because Matthew 24:30 excludes the portion from Zech 12:10 regarding ‘him whom they pierced’, yet it includes “and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory”. In other words, the ‘mourning’ comes only when the Son of Man is visibly seen ‘coming in the clouds of heaven’. Even if one holds to the position that this occurred in AD70 (which has serious difficultly considering the next verse in context, Matthew 24:31 [‘gathering the elect’]), then this same one must concede that John 19:37 is only a partial fulfilling—the first stage of it.
Further, we must consider Revelation 1:7, which includes BOTH portions: Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail [ED: “mourn”] because of him. Even so, Amen. (Strangely, the KJV renders koptō “mourn” in Matthew 24:30, yet in Rev 1:7 the same Greek word is translated “wail”.)
But there’s even more going on here. In the context of Zech 12:10 it is YHWH who is ‘pierced’. OK, it’s not a stretch to substitute Christ here, we may say. However, the piercing in John 19:37 was done by one Roman soldier (John 19:34)—not by one Jew, let alone the Jews as a plurality (or we all as a plurality), as the Zech 12 context implies. The ‘piercing’ here is best understood, as far as I understand, as the crucifixion itself—the ‘piercing’ in Jesus’ hands/wrists and feet. And this makes better sense in the Matthew 24 and Rev 1 contexts, as well, I contend.
The question, then, is this: Is Matthew 24:30 (+31) and Rev 1:7 fulfilled?
J,
ReplyDeleteExplain what you mean in saying you oppose Zionism.
Is it just me or was Joe Biden's speech in Warsaw today about ten times more coherent, and forceful, and clear, and well spoken, and non-stumbling non-stuttering, and devoid of even one forgetful moment, even as he recollected many past historical events and names ?
ReplyDeleteI simply cannot believe that that speech came out of Joe Biden's brain.
He did NOT appear to be reading a teleprompter either!
I honestly don't believe it. I can't believe it. We've all been listening to this bumbling forgetful demented fool for two years now.
He can't remember anything and everything gets jumbled up and he stalls out. Every time.
Where has this Joe Biden been for the last two years? There's just no way. This speech was flawless! And it was a long speech.
So I was looking closely to try to see if there was an earbud but I couldn't see one. He turned to the left and there was no earbud and he turned to the right and there was no earbud...what the heck?
I did notice that every sentence and every phrase was in short, three or four word spurts, though. Just long enough phrases to easily repeat and pick up the next line and repeat it, on and on. Anyone could do it.
And when the speech was over ol' Joe turned around and walked away, like he always does, and that's when I'm pretty sure I saw a white shiny object behind his right ear. It seemed to catch the sunlight and gleam for a split second.
I can't be the only one who was flabbergasted by this All New and 200% Improved Joe Biden, orator, statesman and historian.
Thoughts, anyone else?
ReplyDeleteJ is certainly capable to answer for herself regarding "Zionism," but I'll jump in here.
I posted this on the same thread that I posted above, proving that I was not defending Rick Wiles's supposed "Antisemitism."
Here's the post:

Judaism vs Zionism.
There is a difference as stark as black vs white. Read what Orthodox Jews have to say about Zionism, along with what they believe about the State of Israel. As you read this (along with other information on this site), ask yourself the question: Are these Orthodox Jews Anti-Semitic?

ReplyDeleteCraig,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you.
"But, there’s more to this. Even if we were to agree this fulfills Zech 12:10, we must then concede that it does not fulfill it in its entirety, for it omits the portion “and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.” Thus, at best, it only partially fulfills it."
What I read: Zech 12 and the cup of trembling a 'heavy stone' for all the peoples..
and this:8 On that day the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them on that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the angel of the Lord, going before them. 9 And on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
This has not happened yet. (Rome came against them in AD 70 but not all the nations)
10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. 11 On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. 12 The land shall mourn, each family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves....
This has not happened yet either. Remnant Israel given the gift of repentance to know Christ--their blindness healed!
Still in the future, what I believe (and posted this on the last thread):
""I believe there is still a harvest for them as I read in Romans 9-11--a small number, a remnant. And I think it fits. Zechariah 13 speaks of 1/3 refined as silver. The whole chapter speaks this to me.
In that day a fountain (for cleansing) the first verse of chapter 13 says..(chapter 12 says: Jerusalem a gets a pouring upon it..)
Verse 6 and 7 a reference to the crucifixtion and then sheep scattered (the Dispora) the Jews expulsed--exited the land (AD 70) created an abomination of desolation (but there is another abomination coming)--every time this happened in their history God called it an abomination because of His name there (the Lord Shammah) and the people and that land are witness of that so this is partly fulfilled because by chapter 14 we see before the day of the Lord coming (on the clouds His saints with Him) and in 13 the 1/3 is left in the land. This is future.
Obviously the Jews were returned to the land (after 2000 year vacancy) for the final abomination of desolation to occur--(Matt 24, Luke 21, Mark 13) Jerusalem the scene and the Jews flee because of anti-christ's betrayal and then after that Christ returns as described in chapter 14 of Zechariah.""

He has sold us down the river--with tons of help from both sides of the aisle and foreign powers, too.

ReplyDelete"NOTE: I would add this as well; Zionism is a SECULAR POLITICAL movement, whereas, Judaism is obviously RELIGIOUS."
Yes.
God used secular Israel to get that land back--He allowed it and why it happened. It has a purpose in the coming final judgment and the coming final redemption for the Jews (remnant)
And God uses for His purpose, any and all of it, any and all of them, for what is to become of Israel in the near future. God will sort all of them.
What the devil means for harm, God uses for good.
God always gets the last word.

Anon 8:56 PM,
ReplyDeleteRomans 9-11 is notoriously difficult to interpret and put it into an eschatological framework. And I don't have my own eschatology all ironed out.
My only intent here is to refute specific assertions made with regard to eschatology. Dispensationalism has problems. Preterism and partial preterism have problems from what I've seen (as I pointed out in Hanegraaff and DeMar above).
In a sense, it's somewhat easy to point out flaws in otherwise seemingly well-thought out eschatological positions. But when one asserts over-confidently that they let 'Scripture interpret Scripture' as Hanegraaff and DeMar claim (and J here), then it's fair game to illustrate issues with their claims. And when individuals like RayB make assertions 'proving' someone else's eschatological position wrong, then it's fair game to critique/refute those, as well.

Craig,
ReplyDeleteI believe as you do there in more than one fulfillment of the Scriptures in the eschatology.
In my thinking it corresponds in the Zech passages and Matt, Luke, and Mark passages of this scenario too, and also because Romans 9-11 are about a large span in the history-plucked out(that happened)-grafted back in(hasn't happened yet but will when those select people will come to know Christ as Messiah). The scattering when Rome evicted them and the gathering again (from the secular sense) in our current age after 2000 years apart from the land (with a spiritual work by the Lord to finish the story of the Jews in the making).
And I don't have a dispensation to go by--frankly, don't think anybody needs one. I have no idea what you would even call it.
But it is because the scenes in each of those passages I referred to have some capacity to speak of one another, fill in some blanks, and that is what I think I'm seeing in them. So a straightforward approach that allows for the gap between more than one fulfillment is what I believe.
How much this all connects I am not completely sure of myself, but the judgment/redemption themes for Israel (past fulfillment and future too) in my estimation, are appearing in them.
That is worth noting and why I think there are details that will fill in those gaps, soon and not later.
Time will tell won't it? Then we'll all have the answers we don't quite have just yet. I am not looking at what others think so much as thinking out loud and noticed some things you posted that I see as well.
I want to understand and why I study and read knowing God will connect things His way and time. About 1/3 of the Bible is prophecy-give or take-some is already in the past and clearly some is not. God has it in there for us and we are to watch as Jesus said to do. So I am.
What He said, He will fulfill, that much I am certain of.

DETAILED ARTICLE, important.
"Zelensky knows that he has to appeal to those who still revere Bandera, and thats why he said: “There are indisputable heroes. Stepan Bandera is a hero for a certain part of Ukrainians, and this is a normal and cool thing. He was one of those who defended the freedom of Ukraine.” But even Zelensky admits that there are too many streets named after Bandera: “But I think that when we name so many streets, bridges by the same name, this is not quite right”. So, while Zelensky pays lip service to the Banderites, he also admits that the many streets named after Bandera is excessive. The fact that Zelensky — a Jew — calls Bandera — a murderer of Jews — a hero, is a sign that there are enough people in Ukraine who revere Bandera that the president himself has to say pleasant things about him. And, the fact that there are too many streets named after Bandera, is an indication of this culture of reverence for this mass murderer. Ergo, Ukraine has a Nazi problem. "

I think its obvious the Zechariah passage is only partly fulfilled. And notice the reference to various families and their women apart, thyis sounds like Orthodox worship where the sexes are separated, so they are present in the land of Israel when Jesus comes back, one of the prophecies that points to zionism without dispensationalism being needed. Another one is in Ezekiel where God says He will bring the people back and THEN cleanse them later.

Exactly! I was listening to Dr .Michael Heiser (whom I don't agree with on everything, but he has some fascinating viewpoints) talking to a guest host, and they mentioned this. American Christianity has this tendency to conflate American culture / Christian heritage (which is at best a mixture of Christianity and Masonic/Theistic ANTI-Christian beliefs) with true Christianity, as part of a hitching together of Church and State in a project of building Heaven on Earth. Or, building God's Kingdom, American style, if you will. American Christianity is almost unique in this regard.
And yes, dispensationalists, Calvinists, and even more fringe, the Reconstructionists like Gary North et al, are stuck in this mode.

ReplyDeleteAgain, a nutty inaccurate accusation against Christians whose theology that doesn’t adhere to J’s theology. Your relentless attacks are disgusting.

Regarding the following, I only clicked on it and listened for a couple minutes, but the portion quoted below I find interesting:
ReplyDeleteWhy Do People Love QAnon? | The Problem With Jon Stewart Podcast | Apple TV+
@ 1:35:
But if you take QAnon as sort of parable.
Right? So they believe that a cabal, if you will,
or a bunch of people whom
we don't know very much about,
they're not necessarily too much in the public eye,
have huge amounts of power in the world
because the world is changing through the internet
and how the world is run and
where the power sits is changing...
And they're effectively running the world
in ways that we can't really see
and can't really understand
and we think might not be to our benefit.
Then you go, "Wow, hold on a minute."
"Maybe they're on to something."
I think this is where a LOT of the accusations (mostly by X) of others being either QAnon or being influenced by QAnon comes from. Like anything else, there are points of contact with other goings-on, and then some conflate mere points of contact with actual (or presumed) QAnon content, and then accuse others of QAnon influence based on those conflations.
As an aside, for those who are not aware, one can find a transcript of a YouTube video by clicking on the three dots at the end of the line containing view count, date, etc. After clicking on the three dots, you’ll usually find at least two options, one of which is “Show transcript”. That’s exactly what I did above, though I deleted all the correlating time stamps. Usually, I’ll try to reformat for readability, but I did not here, for illustrative purposes.
12:27 PM,
ReplyDeleteWhat is "J's theology?" Please tell me, since I'm still trying to figure it all out. Thank you.
Craig 1:13 PM,
ReplyDeleteI agree.
I think it's the (a) plausible things and (b) proven facts that make (c) the rest seem more credible.
Then somebody could come along and say that if you entertain ideas about a or b, then you must go all the way to c.
If any commenters here go all the way to c, they are keeping it in the closet.
To further clarify my 1:21 PM comment, I'm clear about what I believe, other than two areas:
ReplyDelete1) Eschatology, and
2) The precise meaning of, "Thy kingdom come, on earth, as it is in heaven."
Anonymous 12:06 PM "I have spent my whole life in protestant churches of many flavors. Fundamentalist Baptist, to Charismatic, and lots in between. I have never met one person in the congregations, or ministry, advocating building a "Heaven on Earth!"
ReplyDeleteSome ministries that advocate building heaven on earth: New Apostolic Reformation, Latter Rain, Dominionism, Kingdom Now, 7 Mountain Mandate, Elijah List,
word of Faith, and Bill Johnson, Bethel Church, author of "When Heaven Invades Earth." There are even social media groups to join in with like-minded people.

ReplyDelete9:08 AM"
I have really enjoyed back and forth with J - several posts on a range of Biblical topics, some of them dealing with prophecy. We don't agree on everything..big deal...we agree on what matters most. The main thing remains the main thing in our conversation, the Gospel and sharing it with the love that God's truth should be shared in, and I think that is most important. In that we are of the same Spirit.
So I don't understand someone even thinking otherwise. She has always been respectful and I think she is a credit to this blog.
I think people need to go back and do some remembering.....that not one of us has all the answers, that we are all deeply flawed, by God's standard not our own, and daily need much grace to receive for ourselves, and daily need to give much grace to everyone else.
ReplyDeleteGood thing God's supply of grace is so great, isn't it?
Forgiveness for us was extremely costly, and being forgiven so much should remind us that you and I are not better and not worse than anyone else.
People are people (I am people too) ... but God is God.
This completely levels the playing field.
1:13 PM @ Craig.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your input in that post.
Accusations are generally not useful, and usually based on mere assumptions.
Below is a pretty good instructional video on how to have conversations with those with whom you disagree.
ReplyDeleteThe principles are:
1. Say two things they will agree with before stating where you disagree
2. Use an anology you know they'll agree with
3. Maintain a calm conversational tone
4. Allow for playful breaks
5. Clarify the person's ideas
6. Debate ideas not terminology
Having said that, listen to typically Left-of-Center Jon Stewart straighten out one of the charges leveled at Trump supporters:
How To Argue With Someone Who Won’t Listen
2:25 PM
ReplyDeleteI'm well aware of those groups. However, I think those groups are dying out. The more obvious it gets that we are near, or as I believe, just within the apocalypse, the more people will leave. It's ignorant to lump Trump supporters with NAR etc. The anti Trump hysteria here is a cult in itself, and a sign of mental, and spiritual illness!
We are not Luciferians. The person who claims that is an ignorant fool.
5:12 PM
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any anti Trump hysteria here. QAnon is a Luciferian cult. It is ignorant of you to think otherwise. The groups mentioned above are not dying out but, in fact, are growing and overlapping one another, merging into an ecumenical one world religion. The conspiracy theories, false prophecies, apocalypse, and "bringing darkness to light" are all part of The Plan to bring humanity to the 5th dimension, new age of Aquarius.
Anon 8:05 PM,
ReplyDeletePlease explain and expound on what you mean by "apocalypse" and "conspiracy theories". Who/what are you referring to?

" she always looks to belittle others who do not share her theological beliefs." nope, its a matter of their ideas are (sometimes astoundingly) wayyy off kilter from what The Bible says
In this case, the problem is that Jcan't seem to understand the issue is WHO IS THE REAL JESUS AND WHO IS FAKE? don't follow the fake, the ones secretly somewhere or gathering a following on earth somewhere are FAKE. The real one is from the aky crushing all opposition, scaring all.
"J said...
If the Bible teaches that the Second Coming of Jesus would be a coming in the flesh, then why did Jesus tell His Apostles they should not believe it if anybody claims that they see Jesus in the flesh in a specific location?" THIS ESTABLISHES YOUR BIBLICAL ILLITERACY. Jesus says He will be coming back IN THE SKY, not somewhere else, will lnd on earth eventually but first will be visible to all in the sky, this is RIGHT AFTER saying go not out to meet the false Christ in the wilderness, etc. if you have to ask such a questin you are biblically illiterate and there is no excuse for this THE ANSWER WAS IN FRONT OF YOU. JESUS SAID WHERE HE WOULD BE.
Those who rattle off "as in the days of Noah" show biblical illiteracy, they ignore what JEsus after those words, the event will be totallyunexpectled, like the Flkood was. Only believers expect it, not the ones who scoff. Whether godawful transgenics and other such things are an issue or not is not guaranteed here. Neither is interbreeding betwen angels and human and impure blood the cause of the extermination by the Flood but A MAJOR SIN PROBLEM THAT THAT WAS ONLY PART OF. "the earth was filled with violence" "all flesh had corrupted its way (or become corrupt on the earth."
The focus on Ezekiel 38 war shows biblical illiteracy, they don't look at what happens after, which rules out it happening in the life of any here now except perhaps infants when they get much older. This goes on decade after decade with an amero euro focus presupposed as correct when the focus is the Middle East and we are peripherals.
9:55 am's statements are total falsehoods, as was the supposed ad for witchdraft, originally said to be one ad now called ads plural, the lie escalates. Mike was incapable of doing any "psychic services" except to see an entity or atmosphere hiding somewhere, that you can cast out or get an exorcist after it. And I wouldn't charge for such help.
My grammar and syntax were the result of trimming posts so they'dbe posted instead of rejected for too many letters in them. If you can't refute a biblical argument yougo after grammar and syntax.
J, maybe dispensationalism is something you see as a part of our Christian culture we soak up, but I never did, I didn't evenunderstand what nonsense it was teaching, it is obvious tht God deals ONGOINGLY with people in different ways that on the same track unlike the different ways on different tracks altogether that the"diversity" people think of.
Key concept the biblically illiteratefollowers of Scofield and Darby heirs of false prophets, is this: TITLE TO REAL ESTATE IS NOT THE SAME AS MEMBERSHIP IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. once you uderstand that, Dispensationalism falls apart, and is unnecessary to Christian Zionism (which can be idolatrous).
Christine 9:21 PM,
ReplyDeletePlease notice exactly what I did and did not ask. I did not question the second coming. I questioned where the Bible teaches the second coming would be in the flesh. I don't see it. I bring this up because of Old Testament cloud comings of God. The cloud is really a poor translation. It's actually the Shekinah glory. Sometimes it's called the glory cloud. Jesus Himself said He would be seen coming on the clouds. When the Apostles watched Jesus going up into the sky and disappearing into a cloud, the angel told them they would see Him return the same way they saw Him leave. Isn't this a clear reference to the glory cloud of God, frequently appearing in the Old Testament?
P.S. Isn't it obvious that people looking for a return in the flesh are more likely to be gullible to an antichrist, of which there have been many throughout history?
ReplyDeleteJ,
ReplyDeleteI am unclear on exactly what point you are trying to make and what you mean by “in the flesh”. So, rather than possibly straw-manning your position, let me begin with the historically orthodox (not Orthodox, but ecumenically orthodox) position. The Incarnation continues. Jesus is still the Divine-human, the God-man; however, post-Resurrection his body is a ‘spiritual’ one, like the one described in 1Cor 15:42–54 (and John 20–21). So, I’m not exactly comfortable with your phraseology “in the flesh” in the contexts you provided, since this can be misconstrued as human flesh—the same as ours, and the same Jesus had during His earthly existence/ministry.
Having prefaced accordingly, the Second Coming will be ‘in the clouds’ yet certainly visible—visible to the point He will be recognized, with all nations/people mourning. I agree with Christine that the main point of Matthew 24:26–27 is location, as opposed to mode. Jesus won’t be here or there in this or that location on earth when He comes; He will be visible to all, ‘in/on the clouds’. Sure, this sounds like the Shekinah glory.
J,
ReplyDeleteLet me add this to my 10:30 PM response to you. I’m going to specifically focus on the following from your 9:46 PM, this assertion: The cloud is really a poor translation. A “poor translation” of what exactly?
Going back to the source of Jesus’ statement in Matthew 24:30, which is Daniel 7:13, the Hebrew Masoretic Text is ‘im- ‘ă-nā-nê šə-may-yā,. This means “with clouds of (the) heavens”. In the LXX of Daniel 7:13, the Greek is epi tōn nephelōn tou ouranou, which means “upon (the) clouds of (the) heaven. So “clouds” / “(the) clouds” is the translation; and, the various English translations of the Matthew 24:30 are faithful to the NT Greek text, which exactly matches the LXX (no textual variants, either).
