Quoting from Matthew 24,
Pastor Greg Laurie
of the Harvest Church in California believes
that we are witnessing “foreshocks” of
Armageddon. Pointing to the growth of ISIS,
the nuclear abilities of Iran to threaten
Israel, and the aggressiveness of Russia and
China, he states that the doomsday clock is
three minutes to midnight. He writes,
Unchecked climate change, global nuclear
weapons modernizations, and outsized
nuclear weapons arsenals pose extraordinary
and undeniable threats to the continued
existence of humanity, and world leaders
have failed to act with the speed or on the
scale required to protect citizens from
potential catastrophe. These failures of
political leadership endanger every person on
Earth. [1]
All of this is biblically sound, but then he
adds, “In my opinion, the next event on this
prophetic calendar is the Rapture of the
Church… That’s when all true believers are
caught up to meet the Lord, in a moment, in
the twinkling of an eye.” He is speaking here
of a teaching also known as “the secret
rapture."
Will there be a rapture? Absolutely. Will it be
a secret? No. The word “rapture,” which is
not found in the Bible, simply means “to be
carried away with power.” It is true that,
when Jesus comes, the saved will be caught
up to meet the Lord in the air (1
Thessalonians 4:17 ). But many believe such a
rapture will take place “quietly,” as seen in
the popular book series Left Behind. They
teach that faithful Christians all around the
world will suddenly disappear and that life
here on earth will continue for a seven-year
period of tribulation. During this time, they
say, many will be converted and have a
“second chance” at salvation before Christ’s
final coming.
Although the secret rapture scenario appears
comforting at first glance, there is absolutely
no scriptural support for it. The Bible plainly
teaches that when Jesus comes again, every
one of our senses will be bombarded with
evidence! Jesus coming will be literal (Acts
1:9–11 ), it will be visible ( Revelation 1:7 ),
and it will be audible (1 Thessalonians 4:16 ,
17).
Jesus’ coming will not be secret. It will open
graves ( John 6:40 ), it will destroy the earth
(Revelation 6:14 ), and it will mean a final
judgment ( Matthew 16:27 ). One of the
primary verses that confuse people on this
topic speaks of Christ coming as a “thief in
the night.” But if you look carefully at Peter’s
reference to Christ’s coming, it certainly is
not a secret!
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief
in the night; in which the heavens will pass
away with a great noise, and the elements
will melt with fervent heat; both the earth
and the works that are in it will be burned up
(2 Peter 3:10 ).
It is the suddenness of Christ’s return that
will seem like a thief in the night. But to
those who are ready for His return, we will
not be caught unaware. Do not be fooled by
the false teaching of the rapture. There is no
second chance. The time to be ready for
Christ’s return is now. |

An Amazing Fact
Legend has it that when the Greeks were
unable to capture the city of Troy even after
imposing a 10-year siege, they finally
resorted to a clever stratagem. The Greek
army pretended to sail away and left on the
shore a huge, hollow wooden horse as an
apparent victory gift. However, the gift was
actually filled with several armed warriors!
Sinon, a Greek spy inside Troy, persuaded the
Trojans to bring the horse within the city
walls, saying that to do so would
mysteriously make Troy invincible. That night
Sinon released the troops hiding in the
gigantic horse. After killing the Trojan
guards, they opened the gates to the waiting
Greek soldiers, and Troy was captured and
burned.
Differences of Interpretation
A gift from an enemy can be very deadly. The
underworld has successfully dispatched many
human targets by beautifully wrapping a
bomb as a gift with an ornate bow and paper
that explodes when opened. Today the devil
is using a counterfeit gift of the Spirit -a
pagan form of the gift of tongues- to gain
access to the church of God and destroy it
from within.
Shortly after becoming a Christian, I was
hitchhiking from Palm Springs to Los Angeles
to visit my mother. About halfway to my
destination, I caught a ride with a kind,
middle-aged Pentecostal lady who was very
pleased to hear of my recent conversion. As
we drove along, she asked, "Have you
received the Holy Ghost yet?"
I was a little surprised by her question,
because no one had ever asked me that
before. "Well, I think I have," I said slowly.
"I've certainly felt God's Spirit in my life. The
Lord is helping me make so many changes-
you know, like giving up drugs, stealing, lying,
cursing, and much more."
"No, that's not what I mean," she said,
looking a little frustrated. "Have you received
the baptism of the Holy Ghost? Do you speak
in tongues?" It struck me as odd that she
seemed far more interested in whether or
not I had experienced an ecstatic utterance
than she was in the fact that I was having
victory over the sins that had long held me
captive!
Even still, this kind lady was convinced that I
was missing out on a primary element of the
Christian experience. And not wanting to be
deprived of something so important, I began
a very deep search into the controversial
subject of tongues. The first few churches I
attended were all charismatic, which means
they believed in speaking in ecstatic
tongues-an experience often described as
"glossolalia." Most of my new friends at our
Bible study group "spoke in tongues," so the
information I am about to share is the result
of firsthand experience as well as years of
research.
I need to address some unpopular facts in
this study, and I must begin by saying that
although I disagree with some of the
teachings of my charismatic brothers and
sisters, I firmly believe that God has
thousands of His children in these
fellowships. I also recognize that even among
charismatics there are vast differences of
interpretation regarding the gift of tongues,
so forgive me if I generalize at times. The
war I wage is not against people, but against
error. The same truth that at times can hurt
will also promise to set us free (John 8:32 )!
The Genuine Gift of Tongues
Let's begin with a definition. The word
"tongue" in the Bible simply means "a
language."
God gives all the gifts of the Spirit to fill a
practical need. What was the need for
tongues?
Jesus told His followers, "Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 28:19 ). This
command posed a problem. How could the
apostles go out preaching to all the world
when they spoke only one or two languages?
After all, Jesus' disciples were very bright,
even though most of them were not formally
educated. In order to fulfill the great
commission, He promised to give them a
unique gift from the Holy Spirit. It was a
miraculous, supernatural ability to speak
foreign languages they had not formerly
studied or known for the purpose of
spreading the Gospel.
"And these signs shall follow them that
believe; ... they shall speak with new
tongues" ( Mark 16:17 ).
The fact that Jesus said these new tongues,
or languages, would be a "sign" indicates
that the ability to speak them would not
come as the result of normal linguistic study.
Rather, it would be an instantaneous gift to
fluently preach in a previously unfamiliar
language.
There are only three actual examples of
speaking in tongues recorded in the Bible
(Acts chapters 2, 10, and 19). If we look at
these three cases, we should find a clearer
picture of this controversial gift.
"When the day of Pentecost was fully come,
they were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a sound from
heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it
filled all the house where they were sitting.
And there appeared unto them cloven
[divided] tongues like as of fire, and it sat
upon each of them. And they were all filled
with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak
with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them
utterance" ( Acts 2:1-4 ).
Fire is a symbol for power. God sent this gift
in the form of tongues of fire so they would
know that He would empower their feeble
tongues in the same way He strengthened
Moses to go before Pharaoh ( Exodus
4:10-12 ) and touched Isaiah's lips with a
coal from the heavenly altar ( Isaiah 6:6 , 7).
Why did the Lord wait until Pentecost to
bestow this gift? Acts 2:5-11 sets the scene:
"And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews,
devout men, out of every nation under
heaven. Now when this was noised abroad,
the multitude came together, and were
confounded, because that every man heard
them speak in his own language. And they
were all amazed and marvelled, saying one
to another, Behold, are not all these which
speak Galilaeans? And how hear we every
man in our own tongue, wherein we were
born? ... We do hear them speak in our
tongues the wonderful works of God."
The day of Pentecost was a Jewish holy day
that fell 50 days after Passover. Devoted
Israelites would come from all over the
Roman empire to worship in Jerusalem. God
chose this timely opportunity to bestow this
gift of tongues upon the disciples so they
could preach to the visiting Jews in their
native languages. At least 15 different
language groups were represented in the
crowd that day ( Acts 2:9-11 )! As a result,
thousands of these visitors were converted.
Then, after Pentecost, they in turn carried
their new faith home to their respective
countries.
From this example it should be very clear
that the gift of tongues was given to
communicate the gospel in different existing
languages of the world.
Some have mistakenly suggested that the
miracle on Pentecost was a gift to hear and
understand different languages. It was not a
gift of hearing given to the listeners, but
rather a gift of the Spirit given to enable the
believers to speak (Acts 2:4 ). It is not called
the gift of ears for the listeners, but the gift
of tongues for the speakers. Furthermore, the
sign was not ears of fire on the listeners, but
tongues of fire on the ones preaching.
It is also sometimes suggested that the gift
of tongues is a "heavenly language"
understood only by God or those with the gift
of interpretation. The Bible is clear in Acts
chapter 2 that both the disciples and those
listening understood what was being
preached-"the wonderful works of
God" (Verse 11).
Let's look now at the second example when
Peter preached to Cornelius and his
household: "While Peter yet spake these
words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which
heard the word. And they of the circumcision
which believed were astonished, as many as
came with Peter, because that on the
Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the
Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with
tongues, and magnify God" (Acts 10:44-46 ).
Acts 10:1 tells us that Cornelius was Italian,
while Peter was a Jew and spoke Aramaic.
History also tells us that the servants in a
Roman home could be from anywhere in the
world. Because there were obvious language
barriers at this meeting, Peter likely began to
preach through an interpreter. But when the
Holy Ghost fell upon Cornelius and his
household, the Jews with Peter could
understand the Gentiles speaking in
languages other than their native tongues.
The record is that the Jews heard them
"magnify God" in these languages. When
later reporting this experience to the church
leaders, Peter said, "The Holy Ghost fell on
them, as on us at the beginning" ( Acts 11:15,
emphasis added).
Peter here plainly tells us that Cornelius and
his family received the same gift of tongues
in the same way the disciples did on the day
of Pentecost. In other words, they spoke
languages they had not formerly known in a
way that could be understood.
The third and final example of speaking in
tongues is when Paul preached to 12
Ephesian disciples. Acts 19:6 records, "And
when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the
Holy Ghost came on them |

The best thing that EVER happened to any of you sellout, self hating blacks was Independence. As you fall over each other to stupi.dly worship the white man who ruled you for 6 decades and left you with nothing but an undeveloped wasteland, always remember that the privileges and education you enjoy today were brought to you by black leaders, NOT white. Today, 6 of the world's 10 fastest growing economies are in Africa. Today, Africa has a middle class of 350 million and rising. Economically, Africa is the second fastest growing region in the world after Asia. Under colonial rule, such promising realities were a PIPE DREAM. Today, we manufacture cars, SUV's and buses in Nigeria. Under colonial rule there was no such thing. Even bicycles were imported. The achievements and progress we are seeing today are the handiwork of our black leaders. Despite their faults, it is THEY who have propelled us to development, for which we must be thankful.Guy your ingnorance no get Appeal. so who built Schools and hospitals that are still standing today. First bank ,UAC,Kingsway, New engineering,name them were all created by colonial masters,i ask u before arrrival of the white man was their any thing like groundnut pyramid ?or palm oil plantations and mills. even your first CBN governor was a white man CBN was created even before Nigeria independence by white people. british people praticse indirect rule .they recgonised and supported the traditional system of rulers .so stop blaming colonilism for destroying African government system University of ibadan was founded in 1948.Yaba college lagos 1932. UNN Nsukka established in 1955 all before idependence so your black leaders can take credit for all this.and many more if the whites did not mean well they would not have established this insistutions that your black leaders are destroying go and check records Walter Egerton's sixfold agenda for 1908, as detailed on November 29, 1907, in a telegram to the Colonial Office, is representative of British priorities.[47] “ 1. To pacify the country; 2. To established settled government in the newly won districts; 3. To improve and extend native footpaths throughout the country; 4. To construct properly graded roads in the more populated districts; 5. To clear the numerous rivers in the country and make them suitable for launch and canoe traffic; and 6. To extend the railways. ” |
Can you see what I mean by the fact that you and your ilk are dumb, stup.id and brainwashed? Let me educate you. The whites ruled your country for 63 years uninterrupted. In each of those years they exported your tin, cocoa, palm oil, rubber, cotton, coal, iron ore, groundnuts, timber, copper etc, worth countless billions of dollars in today's money. In that time they built not one power plant, not one university, not one major hospital, not one expressway, not one industry, and they left you with a national literacy rate of 10%. That figure is 74% today thanks to black rule. The railway built by the colonialists was for the purpose of evacuating resources from the north to the southern ports for export. 95% of export earnings were siphoned to England. Thus, by 1960, after 63 years of white rule, Nigeria was an undeveloped wasteland with nake.d children, barefoot adults, and malnutrition. Bicycles were the symbol of success. Bush paths led to your villages, not the lovely tarred roads of today, built by black govts. We have mass education today. We have 200 universities. We have proper infrastructure. ALL due to the post-colonial black leadership. Without independence, you would today be an illiterate farmer or hunter stuck in the village just like your grandparents, who were neglected by the colonialists. Why do you think most of our grandparents were illiterate peasants?Guy your ingnorance no get Appeal. so who built Schools and hospitals that are still standing today. First bank ,UAC,Kingsway, New engineering,name them were all created by colonial masters,i ask u before arrrival of the white man was their any thing like groundnut pyramid ?or palm oil plantations and mills. even your first CBN governor was a white man CBN was created even before Nigeria independence by white people. british people praticse indirect rule .they recgonised and supported the traditional system of rulers .so stop blaming colonilism for destroying African government system |
Stupi.d devils think they can come in here to racially insult blacks, and when you put them in their place, they can't handle it. "Oh, be nice to me, even though I think you are inferior". The cheek of it. Deluded, stupi.d pigs.Guy you are so ingnorant .gush you need help |
