In the book "Could You Not Tarry One Hour", Larry Lea explains how he experienced the reality of Jesus at the age of 18 by continually shouting his name. When some other youths asked him, "How do I get it (Jesus)?, all he told them was: "Just continue hollering his name. When it hits you, you will know." Does it really work that way? I cannot do the experiment because I already have a concrete relationship with Jesus.

This comes from one of Prophetic Revelations of Jane Lead (1624-1704) of England, which she received as a result of her humble and repeated queries to her Lord regarding the multitude of souls, including those of young children, who pass from this earthly life without any knowledge of Him.

Other Worlds have been prepared to receive each Soul after the Death of its Earthly Body — Our Destination justly depends on the state of our Souls at that time, how we have spent our Allotted time on Earth, and what is yet to be accomplished in us on the Other Side.

Which of these Worlds {Regions or Mansions} awaits them depends upon the state of each Soul at the closing of its window of earthly time. Each of these Worlds provides exactly what is necessary for the status of the Souls who come there, where each Soul's redemption progressively continues, as the Soul cooperates, until purgation is completed and passage onward is made for it, to return with ALL Souls who are to be brought back to their original Nativity.

Re. 7:1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.
Re. 7:2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea:
Re. 7:3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
Re. 7:4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.

A number of prophetic words have talked about the hosts of heaven invading the earth from June 2017. Now we are already well into the second half of June. Could these prophetic words be realistic? I have a strong feeling that the prophetic words are realistic. The number one driver of my feeling is the fact that the sign of Revelation 12 must appear in the sky on September 23, 2017.

Re. 12:1 A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
Re. 12:2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.

By September 23rd 2017, the woman is in serious pain of childbirth; but that is not the day the birthing will take place. The pregnancy and the burden of pregnancy will begin well before September 23. Prophetic words seem to be saying that this is the month the pregnancy begins.

Mary the mother of Jesus received a visitation from heaven; shortly after, she became pregnant, which led to the birth of the Son of God. In a similar manner, hosts of heaven will visit the 144,000 Israelites and they become the woman of Revelation 12. They receive the seal of the living God on their heads. Once their sealing completes, the angels that hold the four winds of the earth will release the winds. The world weather will immediately be affected. Then the forces of darkness will begin to cause great mayhem—wars, terrorism, name it. That is end-time tribulations.

Could the next new moon be when it begins? I don’t really know.

U r nt that gullible to this kind of myths, step up ur game.
As Israel dey dem no get una time, they r busy with Palestine to bother about Biafra.
Besides will all Eastern states turn to Jews when we Don become Catholics finish and Christians of various denomination, abi u think Jews like Christians In the first place ni, they are still waiting for Christ to come and you are claiming Christ to come, tell me how they won help us na

Why do you think Netanyahu participated in ECOWAS meeting? Was he interested in Judaising West Africans? No! He came for economic interests. Israel will be interested in Biafra for economic reasons and not for Jewish brotherhood or Jewish religion. Israel knows that Biafra will be interested in their participation.

What will be the role of Israel and world Jewry in a new Republic of Biafra?

The answer has a lot to do with the potentials of Biafra.

SHALOM!

There are people who were known to be strong-in-Faith in the past- but NOW their Faith can no longer do anything. the reasons for this are not obvious.

That is to say, the TRUE reasons. There are "USUAL SUSPECT" Reasons for "FAITH-FAILURE," which are immediately taken to be the cause namely SIN and UNBELIEF.

If those are eliminated, most people cannot "think outside the box" and come up with other reasons.

(1) UNFORGIVENESS.

[color=silver].[/color]   MARK 11:12-14, 20-26.

12. And on the morrow,
when they had come from Bethany,
he was hungry;
13. And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves,
he went to see
if perhaps he might find
any thing thereon.
But when he came to it
he found nothing but leaves,
for the time for figs
was not yet.

14. And Jesus spoke
and said unto it,

“Let no man
eat fruit of thee hereafter
for ever.”

And His Disciples heard it.

20. And in the morning
as they passed by,
they saw the fig tree
dried up from the roots.
21. And Peter calling to remembrance
saith unto him,

"Master, behold,
the fig tree which thou cursedst
is withered away."

22. And Jesus answering
saith unto him,

"Have Faith in God.
23. "For verily I say unto you,

'THAT WHOSOEVER
SHALL SAY
UNTO THIS MOUNTAIN,

"BE THOU REMOVED,
AND BE THOU
CAST INTO THE SEA;"

AND SHALL NOT
DOUBT IN HIS HEART,
BUT SHALL BELIEVE
THAT THOSE THINGS
WHICH HE SAITH
SHALL COME TO PASS;
HE SHALL HAVE
WHATSOEVER HE SAITH.'

24. "Therefore I say unto you,

'WHAT THINGS SOEVER
YE DESIRE,
WHEN YE PRAY,
BELIEVE THAT YE RECEIVE (THEM),
AND YE SHALL HAVE (THEM).'

25. "And when ye stand praying,
forgive, if ye have ought against any:
that your Father also,
Which is in Heaven
may forgive you your Trespasses.
26. "But if ye do not forgive,
neither will your Father
Which is in Heaven
forgive your Trespasses."

THIS used to be an "obvious;" however, the prevalence of "VENGEANCE-PRAYING"  shows that this factor is largely forgotten. The Servant of Yahshua has no right to pray for others to come to harm.

What they have done to earn our "Righteous Wrath" is insignificant.

Unless you never Sinned your entire life, you have to forgive whoever offended you.

No "IFS," "ANDS," nor "BUTS."

(2) FAILURE TO INTERCEDE FOR ENEMIES AND STRANGERS.

[color=silver].[/color]   MATTHEW 5:38-48.

38. "Ye have heard that it hath been said,

'AN EYE FOR AN EYE,
AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.'

39. "But I say unto you,

'THAT YE RESIST NOT EVIL:
BUT WHOSOEVER SHALL
SMITE THEE ON THY RIGHT CHEEK,
TURN TO HIM
THE OTHER ALSO.'

40. "And if any man will sue thee at The Law,
and take away thy coat,
let him have (thy) cloke also.
41. "And whosoever shall compel thee
to go a mile,
go with him twain.
42. "Give to him that asketh thee,
and from him that would borrow of thee
turn not thou away.
43. "Ye have heard that it hath been said,

'THOU SHALT LOVE
THY NEIGHBOUR
AND HATE
THINE ENEMY.'

44. "But I say unto you,

'LOVE YOUR ENEMIES,
BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU,
DO GOOD TO THEM
THAT HATE YOU,
AND PRAY FOR THEM
WHICH DESPITEFULLY USE YOU
AND PERSECUTE YOU.'

45. "That ye may be
the Children of your Father
Which is in Heaven:
for He maketh His Sun
to rise on the Evil
and on the Good,
and sendeth Rain
on the Just
and on the Unjust.
46. "For if ye love them
which love you,
what Reward have ye?
Do not even the Publicans
the same?
47. "And if ye salute
your Brethren only,
what do ye more (than others)
Do not even the Publicans so?
48. "Be ye therefore Perfect,
even as your Father
Which is in Heaven
is Perfect."

Prayer for people whom we LIKE is EASY.

However, we do not do it of our own FREE WILL.

Our AFFINITY FOR them MAKES us do things for them.

PRAYING FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T CARE ABOUT US IS HARD FOR THE HYPOCRITE.

A person who TRULY BELIEVES THE TRUE GOSPEL has NO PROBLEM doing THINGS THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND- just because they FEAR GOD. After they have OBEYED the incomprehensible Commandment, THEN Understanding comes.

But the HYPOCRITE has NO QUALMS about NOT PRAYING for their ENEMIES, nor for TOTAL STRANGERS.

Therefore, their WILLPOWER LEVEL is DICTATED by THE EARTH- that is, THE NATURAL.

It becomes USELESS for SUPERNATURAL Operations.

(3) "GRACE" DOCTRINE: IMAGINARY RIGHTEOUSNESS.

[color=silver].[/color]  JOHN 15:1-15.

"I AM The True Vine,
and my Father is
The Husbandman.
2. "Every branch in me
that beareth not fruit
He Taketh Away:
and every (branch)
that beareth fruit,
He Purgeth it,
that it may bring forth
more fruit.
3. "Now ye are clean
through The Word
which I have spoken
unto you.
4. "Abide in me, and I in you.
As the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself,
except it abide in the vine;
no more can ye,
except ye abide in me.
5. "I am The Vine,
ye are The Branches:

'HE THAT ABIDETH IN ME,
AND IN HIM,
THE SAME BRINGETH FORTH
MUCH FRUIT:'

for without me
ye can do nothing.
6. "If a man abide not in me,
he is cast forth as a branch,
and is withered;
and men gather them,
and cast (them) into The Fire,
and they are burned.
7. "If ye abide in me,
and my Words abide in you,
ye shall ask what ye will,
and it shall be done
unto you.
8. "Herein is my Father Glorified,

'THAT YE BEAR MUCH FRUIT;'

so shall ye be my Disciples.
9. As the Father hath loved me,
so have I loved you:
continue ye in my Love.
10. "If ye keep my Commandments,
ye shall abide in my Love;
even as I have kept
my Father's Commandments,
and abide in his Love.
11. "These things
have I spoken unto you,
that my Joy might remain in you,
and that your Joy
might be full.
12. "This is my Commandment,

'THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER
AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.'

13. "Greater Love
hath no man than this,

'THAT A MAN
LAY DOWN HIS LIFE
FOR HIS FRIENDS.'

14. "Ye are my Friends,
if ye do whatsoever
I Command you.
15. "Henceforth I call you not Servants;
for the servant knoweth not
what his lord doeth:
but I have called you Friends;
for all things
that I have heard of my Father
I have made known
unto you."

There is NO SUCH THING AS "GRACE."

Anything you Pray for, or Command, you must EARN THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE.

"JESUS PAID IT ALL!" is a THEORY- which HE never preached, therefore it is NOT in The Gospel.

It is all about the Anointing. You are right in saying that you must earn the right to receive. The Anointing is not cheap.

Langbasa:
What more can i say,ikwuchago everything.

"I kwuchago" means "You have completely spoken".

If you don't want to be baptized into a denomination, leave them and go. Don't start telling them how what they are doing is not good. They want uniformity among their members. Baptism is initiation ceremony.

NIPOST Awka is doing really well lately. I have received hundreds of items from China and there has been no problem.

Kei144:
I have now come to conclusion that the seals are broken at full moon. The second seal will be broken towards the end of next week. The sons of God are adopted at the breaking of the seventh seal; which will be on the first day of Feast of tabernacles this year.

June 9 is the next full Moon.

and on June 8th the retrograde motion of Jupiter ends and it stands still in its motion. On June 9th it starts moving forward again traveling out of Virgo.

How I speak to the Rock

I speak to the Rock during my private prayer times. I speak to the rock concerning the diseases of the soul (Sins), as well as diseases of the mortal body.

Holy Spirit of the Most High, put to death in me the sin of . . . Make me dead to this sin. Great Spirit, transform me by renewing my mind, so that the thought process that leads to this sin will not go through in my mind again. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Ro. 8:13, Ro. 12:1-2

Holy Spirit of God that is in me and in every member of my family, put to death in my mortal body and in the mortal bodies of members of my family, every sickness, every disease and every infirmity; in the name of Jesus Christ.

Freedom from Diseases

Ep. 1:18 I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,
Ep. 1:19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength,
Ep. 1:20 which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
Ep. 1:21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

2Pe. 1:3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

If you have the Holy Spirit, the divine power is in you. The divine power is able to give to you everything you need (but not want) for life and godliness. The problem is that most people that have the Holy Spirit do not know how to access the divine power in them.

Nu. 20:2 Now there was no water for the community, and the people gathered in opposition to Moses and Aaron.
Nu. 20:6 Moses and Aaron went from the assembly to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and fell face down, and the glory of the
LORD appeared to them.
Nu. 20:7 The LORD said to Moses,
Nu. 20:8 “Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it
will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so that they and their livestock can drink.”

The holy Spirit in you is the Rock. Speak to the Rock. The Rock in you is Christ (Anointing) in you. Speaking to the rock is what real faith in Christ is all about.

Is. 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.

1Pe. 2:24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

The redemption that comes through Jesus Christ is a great source of healing for the whole man. The fruit of Satan that mankind ate in the Garden of Eden opened the door for diseases of the soul and the body to come into mankind. Since then, mankind has been plagued by all manners of diseases of the soul and the body. In order to reverse this trend, the door that lets in diseases to the human body and soul must be closed. This door can only be closed by the Holy Spirit of God.

Ge. 3:23 So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.

When God banished mankind from His garden, He withdrew His Holy Spirit from mankind, and hence mankind had no means to close the door to diseases. So, mankind began to die.

God brought Jesus Christ to the world so that through him mankind could be reconciled to God. Once a person is reconciled to God, God gives her/him the Holy Spirit. A person that has the Holy Spirit of God has the power to close the door to diseases of the soul and the body.

The Filipino has phone number of US secret service personnel. Can you guess what that implies? Nigeria government officials are fools!

One day later, it's a best-seller on Amazon.

Yesterday, Bill Gates gave a graduation speech — via Twitter.

And the richest man in the world has helped propel a psychology book to the penultimate spot on the Amazon best-seller list using just 140 characters.

First published in 2012, "The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined", by Harvard psychologist Steven A. Pinker, argues violence has actually been decreasing in recent centuries, and attempts to explain what may be driving this phenomenon. Mark Zuckerberg previously named it as a “book of the year” pick.

As the Washington Post first noted, as of Tuesday morning, since Gates’ Tweet, the book has climbed 608,850 percent to move to No. 2 on the overall Amazon best-seller book list, just behind perennial graduation-time best-seller, "Oh, The Place You’ll Go!", by Dr. Seuss.

Here’s what Gates had to say about “Angels”:

“[Pinker] shows how the world is getting better. Sounds crazy, but it’s true. This is the most peaceful time in human history,” Gates says. “That matters because if you think the world is getting better, you want to spread the progress to more people and places. It doesn’t mean you ignore the serious problems we face. It just means you believe they can be solved. This is the core of my worldview. It sustains me in tough times and is the reason I love my work. I think it can do same for you.”

For me it would be I.T or Economics.

AI is part of IT.

Heavy gunfire rang out Monday in Ivory Coast's two biggest cities as a four-day mutiny by disgruntled soldiers spread nationwide but the government claimed a deal to end the crisis had been reached.

Banks, offices and department stores closed in the heart of the economic capital, Abidjan, as shots were fired in San Pedro, the second biggest port in the world's top cocoa-producing nation.

Border posts closed, halting road traffic to Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, while Ivory Coast's second biggest city, Bouake, was under the control of mutinous soldiers.

The mutiny is the latest in a series of armed protests since January in the West African country, with troops angered by a wage dispute with President Alassane Ouattara's government.

"This is not a coup. We want our bonuses. The president signed a paper saying he agreed with our bonuses. When he pays up, we'll go home," said a spokesman for troops at Bouake barracks, the centre of the latest protest.

"We'll fight to the end. We won't lay down arms," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity from the city where the protest movement began earlier this year.

"8,500 of us brought Ouattara to power, we don't want him to leave but he's got to keep his word. It's that simple," he added as a group of soldiers, some wearing masks, let off shots.

- 'Return to your barracks' -

Defence Minister Alain-Richard Donwahi late Monday said "an agreement has been found" with the mutineers, though he did not give any details.

"We consequently call upon all soldiers to clear the entry points into cities and return to their barracks," he said on national television.

But soldiers denied any deal had been reached.

"We do not recognise the agreement. How do you have a baptism without the baby? No representative from Bouake was there on Monday for their 'deal'. As far as we know this was a meeting of high officials," a mutineer said on condition of anonymity.

Heavily-armed rebel troops controlled exits and entrances to Bouake, where residents appeared to be largely staying indoors.

Ouattara took office in 2011 after months of deadly election violence in which more than 8,000 rebels supported him against troops backing ex-head-of-state Laurent Gbagbo, who refused to concede defeat at the ballot box.

Many of the rebels subsequently joined the regular army, which currently numbers some 22,000 troops.

Early on Monday, heavy gunfire was heard at two military camps in Akouedo in the east of Abidjan, that together form the country's largest military barracks, a resident living nearby said.

Shots were also heard from Gallieni camp in the city centre.

Sustained gunfire rang out in Bouake, where one person died on Sunday from bullet wounds.

The situation was also tense in Man in the west and Bondoukou and Daloa in the centre of the country, where sporadic shooting could be heard.

The African Development Bank advised its employees in Abidjan to stay at home, warning that the security situation remained unclear.

- Falling cocoa prices -

Under a deal negotiated with the government in January following the initial protest, the ex-rebels were to be paid bonuses of 12 million CFA francs (18,000 euros) each.

They were given a partial payment of five million francs with the remainder to be paid starting this month, according to sources among the protesting soldiers.

But the government has struggled to pay the promised money.

Bouake served as the rebel headquarters following a failed coup in 2002 which split Ivory Coast in half and led to years of unrest.

The former star French colony has since been slowly regaining its credentials as a West African powerhouse and a haven of peace and prosperity.

But falling cocoa prices have hobbled the government's finances.

The current round of trouble began late Thursday when a soldier presented as a spokesman for the former rebels said they wished to apologise to Ouattara for the January mutiny and were renouncing their demand for huge payouts.

But the "apology", which was delivered in a televised ceremony, was viewed with scepticism by many of the mutinous soldiers.

Last year, the government unveiled a plan to modernise the military, part of which would involve the departure of several thousand men, mainly ex-rebels, who will not be replaced.

Take notice, incoming college freshmen — the richest person in the world has some advice for what you should study.

In a Twitter thread on Monday, Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates said if he were to enter college now, he'd major in artificial intelligence, energy, or biosciences.

He called them all "promising fields where you can make a huge impact."

Experts in technology and economics generally agree that there will be profound changes in the next 20 years in the way companies use AI to automate their factories, construction sites, and retail locations.

Powering those systems will likely be untapped sources of renewable energy, like solar and wind power. Gates has predicted humanity will see an "energy miracle" within the next 15 years.

And the US biotech market is growing at impressive rates, particularly as private firms race to develop smarter drugs and treatment options for antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Gates' advice to pursue at least one of these three fields comes from personal experience. As co-chair of the Gates Foundation, he has seen firsthand how much progress the world has made in automating menial jobs, eradicating disease, and bringing alternative energy sources to its poorest regions.

Bright-eyed 18-year-olds should take notice, he says.

"You know more than I did when I was your age," he wrote in the Twitter thread. "You can start fighting inequity, whether down the street or around the world, sooner."

1Co. 10:1 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea.
1Co. 10:2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
1Co. 10:3 They all ate the same spiritual food
1Co. 10:4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
1Co. 10:5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered over the desert.

1Corinthians 10 gives us the aspects of the story in the book of Exodus that matter to the generation of people upon whom the fulfillment of the ages would come. Those aspects are: 1) Baptism in water and in the Holy Spirit; 2) Eat spiritual food (the bread of life); and 3)Drink spiritual drink (living water).

Even if a person participates in all these three aspects, s/he could still not make the rapture. These three aspects are necessary, but not sufficient. One thing that must be added to the three in order to make the rapture is the practice of faith.

Nu. 13:1 The LORD said to Moses,
Nu. 13:2 “Send some men to explore the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. From each ancestral tribe send one of its leaders.”
Nu. 13:3 So at the LORD’s command Moses sent them out from the Desert of Paran. All of them were leaders of the Israelites.
Nu. 13:25 At the end of forty days they returned from exploring the land.
Nu. 13:27 They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit.
Nu. 13:28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.
Nu. 13:30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”
Nu. 13:31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.”
Nu. 14:1 That night all the people of the community raised their voices and wept aloud.
Nu. 14:2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, “If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this desert!
Nu. 14:3 Why is the LORD bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?”
Nu. 14:11 The LORD said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the miraculous signs I have performed among them?

God tested the Israelites to see if they had enough faith to enter the Promised Land. They failed woefully. Christians headed for rapture will also be tested. That will take place after the fifth seal is opened. Many Christians that have fed on the bread of life and drunk living water will fall from the faith.

Ex. 17:1 The whole Israelite community set out from the Desert of Sin, travelling from place to place as the LORD commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.
Ex. 17:3 But the people were thirsty for water there, and they grumbled against Moses. They said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?”
Ex. 17:4 Then Moses cried out to the LORD, “What am I to do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.”
Ex. 17:5 The LORD answered Moses, “Walk on ahead of the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go.
Ex. 17:6 I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel.

Even though the timing of the event in Exodus 17 is not given, I think that it took place by full moon of the third month. That should be the proper time for the Feast of Shavuot (Pentecost). Pentecost actually commemorates when the Israelites drank water from the Rock at Horeb. The Church Age began on a Feast of Pentecost with the Holy Spirit coming upon the disciples of Jesus Christ. The latter rain of the Holy Spirit will come upon the people of God by full moon of June 2017. That is also when the third seal of Revelation 6 will be broken. According to Re. 6:5-6, when the third seal is broken, a great famine will hit some place in the world. This great famine will be chiefly as a result of crop failures caused by drought.

Weatherwise the year will start with a very rainy spring. On June 9th it gets very hot and no rain with resulting crop failures. http://www.thewatcherfiles.com/articles/occupation.htm

In Chuck Youngbrandt's vision, US weather of a certain year gets very hot by June 9, with no rain, leading to crop failures. June 9, 2017 happens to be the day of full moon of the third month of ancient Hebrew calendar.

Ex. 16:1 The whole Israelite community set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had come out of
Egypt.
Ex. 16:2 In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron.
Ex. 16:3 The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the LORD’s hand in Egypt! There we sat round pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.”
Ex. 16:4 Then the LORD said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you.
Ex. 16:13 That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
Ex. 16:14 When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor.

By full moon of the second month, real desert experience begins. This is when the second seal of Revelation 6 is broken. It is this time that end-time wars begin. God begins to feed His people with the bread of life (the living manna). This is food for the inner man and will cause the inner man to grow mightily and be doing great works. The spiritual potential level ramps up quit steeply.

Ex. 13:17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.”

A lot of Christians expected God to take the short route of pre-trib rapture, which would bypass any tribulation. Unfortunately, they do not know that the current spiritual potential level of Christians places them below demons. (The concept of spiritual potential is explained in this post: http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message3389006/reply60384527.) Consequently, even if God were supposed to operate a pre-trib rapture, when Christians rise up to the heavenlies, they cannot withstand war against opposition demons; neither will they be able to stand before Jesus Christ, since Jesus spiritual potential level is rather too high. In order for the people of God to rise up to sufficient level of spiritual potential, they need some months of desert living.

Ac. 14:21 They preached the good news in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch,
Ac. 14:22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said.

1Co. 10:1 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea.
1Co. 10:2 They were all baptised into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
1Co. 10:3 They all ate the same spiritual food
1Co. 10:4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
1Co. 10:5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered over the desert.
1Co. 10:11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfilment of the ages has come.

All the people journeying towards the rapture of the saints are baptized into Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit and in water. Any person who does not meet this criteria is not a candidate for rapture.

Ex. 13:4 Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving.

As I presented in this thread, https://www.nairaland.com/3549267/predictions-2017-end-time-events, the journey to the rapture begins by full moon in the Hebrew month of Abib or Nisan. It begins with the breaking of the first seal of Revelation 6.

That is a lie. Good and pretty girls marry first. Good and ugly girls may marry last because beauty is the first thing that attract men before goodness. As for other aspects of life, even including marriage, the spiritual problems or enhancements that a person has plays very vital role. I write from personal experience.

At least she made her mother a local celebrity in Sapele. After Efe, Mama Otobo comes next in fame.

Kei144:
Opening of the Second Seal

Re. 6:3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!”
Re. 6:4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.

Seal 2 will very likely be opened in the second month of God's calendar. 1st of Iyyar, 5777 is on April 27th, 2017. Any time from this date, major wars begins to rage around the world.

Mt. 24:7a Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

The second seal will be opened towards the end of next week. https://www.nairaland.com/3549267/predictions-2017-end-time-events#56112336 Could that be when Buhari will die? That will trigger mega end-time crisis in Nigeria.
