Bless you too Maylisa. Thanks the Lord, had helped me write these end days events, because Christians are not watching. We are about to see strange things un-fold before our eye's, listen and watch, when we walk through the shadow of death, fear no evil. The worlds technology are so much advanced, big brother is watching you. Jesus Christ is lord. [quote author=maylisa post=30329456][/quote] |

PastorOluT: I'm actually yet to see the 666 mark on anyone |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by PastorOluT(m): 6:57pm On Feb 02, 2015 |
hahn: All ur time online u mean u have never seen openly people tatooing the number on themselves? Even a self claimed messiah in Brazil, enough said I guess. |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by hahn(m): 7:05pm On Feb 02, 2015 |
PastorOluT: Lol. You'd have to blame that on religion. It has nothing to do with "end time" |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by KoloOyinbo(m): 7:35pm On Feb 02, 2015 |
hahn: Don't even blame it on religion blame it on misinterpretation of religion. The people of Biblical times (even the lesser educated ones) understood allegory and metaphor as well as we do today (probably much better given the number of pedantic literalists about! ). A picture needed to be painted of Satan and suitable embellishments were needed. Now why would 666 be 'magical' and not 665 or 667 or 999 or 101 etc. How can any true Christian allow their faith to be polluted by such superstition. The MESSAGE is of Satan and his struggle to destroy us and how the Lord has given us Salvation. The magic/juju numbers and all this nonsense were useful embellishments only. Sadly many uneducated people define their religion as a set of taboo's and strange (almost) cultist beliefs. |

hahn: Smile, what are u saying, are we not talking about prophecies manifesting? Dont worry when all those nos sss, health no etc fused into one to fulfill the prophecy proper. |

PastorOluT: Please do not degrade Christianity with all this 'numerology' nonsense! |

KoloOyinbo: Wow. Very interesting. I think the number one criteria is more reasonable to me. i'll do more research on it when am less busy to satisfy my curiosity cos there's virtually no problem with answers in life that it's not in the bible. No matter what we are facing, there's always that verse to give comfort and advice, so the absence of the excluded books might not be such a big deal. And I think You're in a better position to open the thread. Am sorry for the last reply. |

The end of the world simply mean the end of the rule of the Caucasian on the planet, it is the end of his world. |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by KoloOyinbo(m): 12:20am On Feb 03, 2015 |
Horus: I doubt any single ethnic group has ever ruled the planet at any time! It is now becoming even less likely than any ever can! |

Don't be to hard on yourself, not knowing any scriptures, these are end-time signs, this is a warning for God's people to get ready. From past history all these changes came from some where and this is how it went. As time had past it was the Catholic Church, that would make all the final decisions, everybody and everything "we ourselves" or our forefathers had' in our every-day life's, for those who were running business, and for those who weren't. The human race were hard working survivors, their goals in life were to live, bringing up families, discipline and teaching their own following God's laws how to survive. Children grew up as strong men and women, carrying that same discipline they received from their own, teaching God's discipline laws to the next generation. Our Governments came under the authority of a book written called "The Acts" a law book from bible scriptures written under "God" for every Church in every nation to follow. Television's were presented without the corruption-no swearing, no sexual scene's, very little violence, and scary movies were showing late at night. Back then, It was a rare find to have any child sitting in-front of a Television. It was the Church that stopped abortions. It was the Church under one culture one religion to protect the land. In either our cities, towns, to even meet somebody from an different country, we either had learned about their cultures, are they so much advanced, or so much behind. It was a rare site to see any freon neighbour living next door. We wonder why our world's changing, we have mixed cultures, and with these different cultures mixing, we have a growing technology, we have new religions. Even back then the Catholic Church have accepted all religions to come under the one nation. A new world order had began. Remember it was our fathers and their fathers fought against these freon new neighbours. The Roman Catholic Church had used scripture, such as this. 1 John 4:7-beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God: and if every one who loves is born of God, and knows God. And Governments used technology to bring in our new arrivals. Easy said: but living next door to the enemy that shot and killed your loved one didn't go down to well in the neighbourhoods. It was not long after the war, when solders not yet on the raise to heal, the Church and Government leaders had allowed the enemy from different cultures into our countries, living as neighbours soon after the war. Not giving our warriors a chance to heal, fighting a blood shed war that didn't belong to them, many were killed in action, their love ones they left behind are suffering, from the forgiven nature they were taught as a child, will soon be gone. Until this day, every year our soldiers are reminded, that fought for their life's in a blood shed battle watching their closers friends and love-ones being murdered, by these new neighbours now living next door. An old war memorial saying>Lest we forget. The Roman Catholic and the Catholic Church and the Governments brought the war back home, and this changed the world. From the love of God they served, had changed. The soldiers and their love-ones are carrying the nightmares they all fought for, until death do we part. While the Church and Governments leaders have never looked back. Nation against nation a war without the love of the Lord was over money and power. You can't worship Mammon and God at the same time. Those who fought received medals and a pat on the back, with a pension that says well done good and faithful servant. Now using that advanced technology our men and women are fighting a war for that very same reason. What better way to fight a war in our own countries, our soldiers>men and women are murdering their own, technology is training all ages, the damages that the Roman Catholic Church and Governments have caused, our fathers and their fathers, once believed their was a God, no-longer exist. Satan's plans under the illuminati using his followers, the Church of all religions is to murder 95% of the world population, over money and power. Hitler once said: to run a country you must disarm it first. And who follows after the beast. Technology. 5minsmadness: |

brocab: You should have used stones and sticks to post this message na. Leave the technology to us. |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by 5minsmadness: 10:27am On Feb 03, 2015 |
Weah96:The master was asked what he thought of the achievements of modern technology. This was his reply; An absent-minded professor was late for his lecture. He jumped into the cab and shouted, "Hurry! At top speed!" As the cab sped along he realised he hadn't told the driver where to go, so he shouted, "Do you know where I want to go?" "No,sir," said the cabbie, "but I'm driving as fast as I can." |

KoloOyinbo: What do u know, degrading christianity? |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by Weah96: 11:54am On Feb 03, 2015 |
5minsmadness: Are you a Luddite, sir? I agree with your analogy on technology, but for a reason not related to God business. |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by KoloOyinbo(m): 8:44pm On Feb 03, 2015 |
PastorOluT: Don't understand your comment. I thought things were clear - reducing Christianity to silly uneducated superstitious nonsense is clearly degrading! 666 is evil but 667 is ok. What about 666.00001. See how daft it all is. Look at the message not just a few word taken out of context. It is excellent that Christianity is growing so fast in the developing world but we all need to ensure that is does so without all the ignorant superstitions that some people ascribe to it. |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by brocab: 12:39am On Feb 04, 2015 |
Sticks and stones may break my bones. The first lesson about technology is this. You need to learn how to walk, the second is this, you need to learn how to talk. And the lucky third is this, once you have done that. You have leant nothing. If technology is taking people away from the lord, then you can have it. Weah96: |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by brocab: 6:27am On Feb 04, 2015 |
So you follow the Mosaic laws. Jesus came here to take away the sins of the world. Sacrificing tithing and offerings, were one together under the Mosaic law, that Jesus had demolish, paid in full a price carrying the burdens and died for our sins. Tithing's shouldn't be mentioned in any Church, Giving yes, but not tithing. The scriptures tells us to Seek the Kingdom of God, not seek the tithes. If you followed the scriptures as the Lord tells us to do your Church would grow, with offerings alone. But it seems like yourself the Churches worry more on the tithing side if things, counting numbers in Church other than worrying for the needy. if you want me to stop writing the truth, then seek the truth, as the Lord say's all things shall be added to you. asuustrike2009: |

KoloOyinbo: Smile, clearly u dont get my stance. Who is ttalking about no per se, may be this would help u. What actually does the no stand for? |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by KoloOyinbo(m): 3:58pm On Feb 04, 2015 |
PastorOluT: By no do you mean numbers? I am not sure of your stance but merely commenting that those who take small excerpts literally where allegory and metaphor have been use to make a point actually miss the point and introduce a stupid superstition instead of the message. Hence this ridiculous idea of '666' actually having some evil or satanic connotation or the even more moronic idea that barcodes/social security numbers/bank account numbers are all some juju of the antichrist. How a true Christian would even listen to such patent superstitious nonsense is beyond me. 1 Like |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by 5minsmadness: 4:15pm On Feb 04, 2015 |
KoloOyinbo:So sir what is your interpretation of the significance of the number 666? Even in the book of revelations the author says it has a hidden meaning and required wisdom to decipher its true connotation. I initially subscribed to the thought that is was the literal number 666 that ws going to be used and even now certain secret societies use it in their symbols. But now I have come to think of it more as a sign for a common commodity we will not be able to do without. Something that indeed will be specific for each individual and would require a certain level of freedom to be sacrificed for its use. What's your take on it? |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by KoloOyinbo(m): 4:33pm On Feb 04, 2015 |
5minsmadness: It is no more significant than 667 or 665! In fact pi is MUCH more significant! |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by 5minsmadness: 5:15pm On Feb 04, 2015 |
KoloOyinbo:3.1415? Looool, now I know you're just trying to catch some fun! The number 666 was specifically mentioned in the bible. Not 665 or 667 or 3.14156272.... It was mentioned for a reason. |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by KoloOyinbo(m): 5:38pm On Feb 04, 2015 |
5minsmadness: Yes a metaphorical and allegorical reason. NOT a LITERAL reason (obviously). Do you think God cares about this arrant primitive nonsense! Merely paint a picture of evil that was commensurate with the times. A little like the silly image of Satan as red with horns and tail etc. I say AGAIN what sort of foolish Christian is so uneducated (both temporally and spiritually) to actually believe that a mere number is significant in any manner to God, Satan or salvation? |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by PastorOluT(m): 6:27pm On Feb 04, 2015 |
KoloOyinbo: Yes I meant numbers, so whats the bible saying and leave all the superstition u have been claiming? |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by KoloOyinbo(m): 7:01pm On Feb 04, 2015 |
PastorOluT: Do you understand allegory and metaphor? The people of biblical times did. Its merely painting a picture of evil/satan. Please don't take it literally when it mentions 666 etc. I mean why ever would superstitious nonsense like that be relevant to our God or even to Satan? Leave that rubbish to the juju believing babalawos. (Probably spelt babalawos wrong but you get the idea). Christianity is about out relationship with God and our Salvation NOT a set of primitive taboo's and magic numbers fit only for the uneducated. I say AGAIN and AGAIN what sort of foolish Christian is so uneducated (both temporally and spiritually) to actually believe that a mere number is significant in any manner to God, Satan or salvation? |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by 5minsmadness: 7:25pm On Feb 04, 2015 |
KoloOyinbo:Well if it was so insignificant then why use the number in the first place? |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by 5minsmadness: 7:29pm On Feb 04, 2015 |
KoloOyinbo:And what metaphorical/allegorical reason would that be? Meanwhile the red devil with horns didn't come up until medieval times...but that's by the way. |
Re: Small signs to show The End Is Coming by KoloOyinbo(m): 8:07pm On Feb 04, 2015 |
5minsmadness: Is it not obvious? Metaphor and allegory!! To illustrate a point/message. Did you not read ANY of my posts? Did they almost all not refer to this? The Bible should be studied for the meaning not just a pedantic and blind literal interpretation. For example:- Jesus told a PARABLE of the good Samaritan! This illustrated a point!!! Did the good Samaritan actually exist? Probably not. That is irrelevant, the story was illustrating a message in a manner relevant to the people of that day. I have tried hard to explain this as simply as I can! It should not be too difficult if a little thought it applied. Really, the Bible deserves much ore than a cursory reading. Try to understand the MESSAGE! |
