Jenwitemi:

^^^^ You talk about not judging anybody, but with your calling a part of mankind "unbelievers", haven't you also passed judgement, as well? Why don't YOU worry about your own soul too instead of spreading parochial untruths all over the place.

Dear brother/sister, beware this thread is not for argument. You said that I judged? Well, i didn't Judge, I only did what Matt 28:19-20 ask me to do. But you judge clearly, that socalled believers. Why don't you leave those people believers alone and fight for your own soul.  If anyone is pretending to be christian leave them alone, and let them face their judgment, because bible described them as wolves among sheep, Their judgment is coming soon. But to me I am actually doing what bible said in the above bible verses. If you call your self a true believer and a true christian, then it is mandatory for you to reach out to others souls by all means and draw them nearer to God. And it is only blind and fool that will say there is no unbelievers or sinners, because there is Armed robbers, ritual killers, fornicators, adulterers, smokers, drunkards and so on, is what we are all seeing and hearing everyday. So if i now see those people and i know the truth that if they should die like that they will go to hell, then why do i keep my mouth shut?  Dear brother, I will not reply to whatever you write here again. Bible said you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. I ONLY EXPLAINED ABOVE THERE WHAT BIBLE SAID UNBELIEVERS AND SINNERS WILL FACE IN GOD'S WRATH TO COME. If you are such, examine your self now when you are still alive, because we live in this world just once and after death judgment.  Heb 9:27 No grace or chance to repent again after death. YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD NOW. May we not reach hell to know the truth in Jesus name.
THANK YOU

Jenwitemi:

Hahaha! You are so pathetic, op. So, only unbelievers are suffering from all the calamities going on in the world right now, abi? Can you bring forth concrete evidence that the socalled believers are also not victims of these things that are happening? Olodo. No be believers like you who were hacked like malu in Jos a couple of months back? Keep spreading your lies, i no kuku blame you. Your brethrens will swallow just about anything to make themselves feel good. Your eyes go soon clear.

Brother/sister, please note that in the days of NOAH, if they were given opportunity to be save before the flood came, some people will think it is a lie that no flood is coming, That how the flood will come suddenly upon them. But Dear brother/sister never judge anybody again, let God be the one to judge. You said that socalled believers are also not victims of these things that are happening?. U better fight for your own soul and leave those people. And mind you tribulation has not started, RAPTURE has to take place first. All that is happening now are just the sign of the end of time and not the tribulation period. Don't be ignorant.
Religion / The Return Of Jesus Christ by mrcharlott(m): 4:05pm On Jun 22, 2010
1-Armageddon (Commentary)[/size]
In heaven, there is silence for about the space of half an hour. The great and terrible day of the Lord is at hand. The sign of Jesus appears in the sky over all the earth. All the tribes of the earth mourn.
As the heavens open, Jesus Christ comes forth on a white horse. The saints are with Him, also riding upon white horses. He comes forth as the King of kings and the Lord of lords. As He comes forth, His eyes are as a flame of fire. There are many crowns upon His head. His name is called "The Word of God."
Out of His mouth goes the Word. He speaks, and things happen. He comes forth in the clouds with great power and glory. He comes with fire and with chariots like a whirlwind.
As He comes forth, lightnings enlighten the world. One can only imagine the scene: lightnings light up the skies all over the world, coupled with the terrifying sounds of thunder; people will tremble as a result!
As Jesus returns, every eye will see Him, even those that pierced Him. His feet shall touch down upon the Mount of Olives. God’s Word asks this question, "Who may abide the day of His coming? Who shall stand?" They shall look upon Jesus, Whom they have pierced. There shall be great mourning.
All the tribes of the earth cry. The mystery of God should be finished or accomplished. God’s plan is being brought to completion. The wrath of God has come. The temple of God is opened in heaven. The ark of His testament or covenant is seen. There are lightnings, voices, thunderings, and an earthquake. Great hail falls. The kings of the earth and their armies are gathered together to battle against the return of Jesus. They are gathered to a place called "Armageddon." The land is full of silver, gold, and idols.
They will make war against Jesus as He returns. A voice out of the temple in heaven, from the throne, proclaims, "IT IS DONE."
The day of the Lord is darkness. Israel shall be judged at His coming. The heathen shall be judged at Armageddon.

2-SOME PROPHECIES THAT JESUS SHALL RETURN[size=8pt]

Acts 1:11-WHICH ALSO SAID, YE MEN OF GALILEE, WHY STAND YE GAZING UP INTO HEAVEN? THIS SAME JESUS, WHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN, SHALL SO COME IN LIKE MANNER AS YE HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN.

3-YE SHALL NOT SEE ME UNTIL YE SHALL SAY[/size]
Lk 13:35-AND VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, YE SHALL NOT SEE ME, UNTIL THE TIME COME WHEN YE SHALL SAY, BLESSED IS HE THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.
Jesus said, in Mt 23:39-FOR I SAY UNTO YOU, YE SHALL NOT SEE ME HENCEFORTH, TILL YE SHALL SAY, BLESSED IS HE THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.

4-THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN APPEARS: ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH MOURN [size=8pt]

A sign appears in the sky, all over the earth, signifying that Jesus is about to return; as a result, tribes, all over the earth, cry.
Mt 24:30-AND THEN SHALL APPEAR THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IN HEAVEN (or in the sky): AND THEN SHALL ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH MOURN.

[size=8pt]5, 6-JESUS CHRIST RETURNS
HEAVEN OPENS: JESUS CHRIST RETURNS
[/size]

Rev 19:11-AND I SAW HEAVEN OPENED, AND BEHOLD (there before me) A WHITE HORSE. The heaven opens, and Jesus comes forth, in His glorious majesty, upon a white horse. The white horse denotes victory and triumph. It can also denote purity. Jesus originally entered Jerusalem, before His death, on a donkey. Here is the second coming of Jesus, which so many in this generation scoff at, saying, WHERE IS THE PROMISE OF HIS COMING?-2 Pe 3:4. Yet it was announced, when Jesus was taken up into heaven, THIS SAME JESUS, SHALL SO COME-Acts 1:11.
(Do not confuse this with Rev 6:2, the counterfeit Christ, which comes forth on a white horse, conquering and to conquer.)
AND HE THAT SAT UPON HIM WAS CALLED FAITHFUL AND TRUE. Jesus sits upon a white horse and is called Faithful and True.
AND IN RIGHTEOUSNESS (or with justice) HE DOTH JUDGE AND MAKE WAR (or goes to battle). In righteousness Jesus does judge. In righteousness Jesus makes war or goes to battle-ref Isa 42:14. The Lord tells us, I HAVE LONG TIME HOLDEN (or kept) MY PEACE; I HAVE BEEN STILL, AND REFRAINED (or held) MYSELF (back): NOW WILL I CRY LIKE A TRAVAILING WOMAN (or woman in childbirth); I WILL DESTROY AND DEVOUR AT ONCE-Isa 42:14. We are reminded that it is written, KNOWING THEREFORE THE TERROR OF THE LORD, WE PERSUADE MEN-2 Cor 5:11. Rev 19:12-HIS EYES WERE AS A FLAME OF FIRE (or blazing fire). This gives us a picture of Jesus coming to judge a world that has rejected His great mercy.
AND ON HIS HEAD WERE MANY (royal) CROWNS. One might wonder how Jesus could have many crowns upon His head. Perhaps, they are placed one on top of another. The number of crowns is not given in this verse.
AND HE (Jesus) HAD A NAME WRITTEN (on Him), THAT NO MAN KNEW, BUT HE HIMSELF.
Rev 19:13-AND HE WAS CLOTHED (or dressed) WITH A VESTURE (or robe) DIPPED (or soaked) IN BLOOD. Again, we see a picture of Jesus at Armageddon. It is written, I HAVE TRODDEN THE WINEPRESS ALONE; AND OF THE PEOPLE THERE WAS NONE WITH ME: FOR I WILL TREAD THEM IN MINE ANGER, AND TRAMPLE THEM IN MY FURY; AND THEIR BLOOD SHALL BE SPRINKLED UPON MY GARMENTS, AND I WILL STAIN ALL MY RAIMENT-Isa 63:3. We are reminded of Isa 34:6, THE SWORD OF THE LORD IS FILLED WITH BLOOD. Also, Rev 14:20-AND THE WINEPRESS WAS TRODDEN WITHOUT THE CITY, AND BLOOD CAME OUT OF THE WINEPRESS, EVEN UNTO THE HORSE BRIDLES, BY THE SPACE OF A THOUSAND AND SIX HUNDRED FURLONGS.
Rev 19:13 continues, AND HIS NAME IS CALLED THE WORD OF GOD. Jesus is called "The Word of God." Jn 1:1 tells us, IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD.
Rev 19:14-AND THE ARMIES. Note the word "armies" is plural, as in more than one army. These are the saints WHICH WERE IN HEAVEN. This includes the saints from the past, from the Rapture, as well as those that are martyred during the Tribulation. These FOLLOWED HIM. The saints are riding behind or following Jesus UPON (or riding on) WHITE HORSES. In other verses, the word "horses" has often denoted some form of vehicle. Nevertheless, most believe that the word "horses," used here, means an actual horse and that the saints will ride upon them when returning with Jesus.
They are CLOTHED (or dressed) IN FINE LINEN, WHITE AND CLEAN (or pure). "Fine linen" represents the clothing of nobility, such as kings and rulers. "White" can represent purity. "Clean" could represent the washing of water by the Word and that it was without spot or wrinkle. The Bible describes His glorious church, which is holy and without blemish-ref Eph 5:27.
Rev 19:15-AND OUT OF HIS MOUTH GOETH A SHARP SWORD. Rev 19:13 just told of Jesus, that His name is called THE WORD OF GOD. We read in Eph 6:17-THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD. Thus, the sharp sword that comes out of the mouth of Jesus is the Word of God. Regarding the sharp sword, it is written, Rev 1:16-AND OUT OF HIS MOUTH WENT A SHARP TWOEDGED SWORD. Rev 2:16 says, REPENT; OR ELSE I WILL COME UNTO THEE QUICKLY, AND WILL FIGHT AGAINST THEM WITH THE SWORD OF MY MOUTH. Rev 19:21-AND THE REMNANT WERE SLAIN WITH THE SWORD OF HIM THAT SAT UPON THE HORSE, WHICH SWORD PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH.
Rev 19:15 continues, THAT WITH IT (with the sword, which is the Word of God) HE (Jesus) SHOULD SMITE (or strike down) THE NATIONS. This refers to Isa 11:4-AND HE SHALL SMITE THE EARTH WITH THE ROD OF HIS MOUTH, AND WITH THE BREATH OF HIS LIPS SHALL HE SLAY THE WICKED. THOU SHALT BREAK THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON; THOU SHALT DASH THEM IN PIECES LIKE A POTTER’S VESSEL-Ps 2:9. These statements seem to be synonymous: "the rod of His mouth" and "the rod of iron."
This continues to refer to the second coming of Jesus, which is during the time of Armageddon.
Rev 19:16-AND HE (Jesus) HATH ON HIS (1) VESTURE (or robe) (2) AND ON HIS THIGH A NAME WRITTEN, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Jesus is Deity. Jesus is God. Jesus is the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords. He is about to return. In Rev 17:14, it is written, HE IS LORD OF LORDS, AND KING OF KINGS: AND THEY THAT ARE WITH HIM ARE CALLED, AND CHOSEN, AND FAITHFUL.
Rev 19:17-AND I (John) SAW AN ANGEL STANDING IN THE SUN; AND HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE, SAYING TO ALL THE FOWLS (or birds) THAT FLY IN THE MIDST OF HEAVEN (or midair), COME AND GATHER YOURSELVES TOGETHER UNTO THE SUPPER (or feast) OF THE GREAT GOD. The angel shall summon the birds of the air. The armies that are gathered in Israel will be slaughtered as grapes in a winepress; the birds shall feast upon their dead bodies.
It is also written, Jn 1:51-AND HE (Jesus) SAITH UNTO HIM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, HEREAFTER YE SHALL SEE HEAVEN OPEN.

7-JESUS COMES IN THE CLOUDS WITH POWER AND GLORY [/size]
Lk 9:26-WHEN HE SHALL COME IN HIS OWN GLORY, AND IN HIS FATHER'S, AND OF THE HOLY ANGELS.
Lk 21:27-AND THEN SHALL THEY SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY.
Mk 13:26-AND THEN SHALL THEY SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN THE CLOUDS WITH GREAT POWER AND GLORY.
Mt 26:64-JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, THOU HAST SAID: NEVERTHELESS I SAY UNTO YOU, HEREAFTER SHALL YE SEE THE SON
OF Mk 14:62-AND JESUS SAID, I AM: AND YE SHALL SEE THE SON OF MAN SITTING ON THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, AND COMING IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.
1 Pe 4:13-BUT REJOICE, INASMUCH AS YE ARE PARTAKERS OF CHRIST'S SUFFERINGS; THAT, WHEN HIS GLORY SHALL BE
REVEALED, YE MAY BE GLAD ALSO WITH EXCEEDING JOY.

8-JESUS COMES WITH FIRE [size=8pt]

Isa 66:15-FOR, BEHOLD, THE LORD WILL COME WITH FIRE, AND WITH HIS CHARIOTS LIKE A WHIRLWIND, TO RENDER HIS ANGER WITH FURY, AND HIS REBUKE WITH FLAMES OF FIRE.

9-JESUS COMES WITH LIGHTNINGS [/size]
Mt 24:27-FOR AS THE LIGHTNING COMETH OUT OF THE EAST, AND SHINETH EVEN UNTO THE WEST; SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE.
Lk 17:24-FOR AS THE LIGHTNING, THAT LIGHTENETH OUT OF THE ONE PART UNDER HEAVEN, SHINETH UNTO THE OTHER PART UNDER HEAVEN; SO SHALL ALSO THE SON OF MAN BE IN HIS DAY.
Ps 97:4-HIS LIGHTNINGS ENLIGHTENED THE WORLD: THE EARTH SAW, AND TREMBLED.

10-EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM
Rev 1:7-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.
Lk 3:6-AND ALL FLESH SHALL SEE THE SALVATION OF GOD.

11-JESUS’ FEET SHALL STAND ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
Zech 14:4-AND HIS FEET SHALL STAND IN THAT DAY UPON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, WHICH IS BEFORE JERUSALEM ON THE EAST, AND THE MOUNT OF OLIVES SHALL CLEAVE IN THE MIDST THEREOF TOWARD THE EAST AND TOWARD THE WEST, AND THERE SHALL BE A VERY GREAT VALLEY; AND HALF OF THE MOUNTAIN SHALL REMOVE TOWARD THE NORTH, AND HALF OF IT TOWARD THE SOUTH.
Scripture tells us, in Job 19:25-FOR I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVETH, AND THAT HE SHALL STAND AT THE LATTER DAY UPON THE EARTH.

12-WHO SHALL BE ABLE TO STAND? [size=8pt]

Mal 3:2-BUT WHO MAY ABIDE THE DAY OF HIS COMING? AND WHO SHALL STAND WHEN HE APPEARETH? FOR HE IS LIKE A REFINER'S FIRE, AND LIKE FULLERS' SOAP.

13-THE SAINTS RETURN WITH JESUS
[/size]
All the saints will come back with Jesus when He returns to the earth. They will be clothed in fine linen, white and clean, and will follow Jesus riding upon white horses. All will have their new bodies of flesh and bone.
It is written, Rev 19:14-AND THE ARMIES WHICH WERE IN HEAVEN FOLLOWED HIM UPON WHITE HORSES, CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN, WHITE AND CLEAN.
Zech 14:5-AND THE LORD MY GOD SHALL COME, AND ALL THE SAINTS WITH THEE.
Jude 14-AND ENOCH ALSO, THE SEVENTH FROM ADAM, PROPHESIED OF THESE, SAYING, BEHOLD, THE LORD COMETH WITH TEN THOUSANDS OF HIS SAINTS. Jesus coming with the saints was prophesied even before the flood.
2 Thes 1:7-THE LORD JESUS SHALL BE REVEALED FROM HEAVEN WITH HIS MIGHTY ANGELS. In the other verses, the word "saints" is used. Here the word "angels" is used. It has been noted in the Revelation that the saints were referred to, in some instances, as angels.
1 Thes 3:13-AT THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WITH ALL HIS SAINTS.
Col 3:4-WHEN CHRIST, WHO IS OUR LIFE, SHALL APPEAR, THEN SHALL YE ALSO APPEAR WITH HIM IN GLORY.

14-THEY SHALL LOOK UPON JESUS WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED [size=8pt]
Zech 12:10,11-AND I WILL POUR UPON THE HOUSE OF DAVID, AND UPON THE INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM, THE SPIRIT OF GRACE AND OF SUPPLICATIONS: AND THEY SHALL LOOK UPON ME WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED, 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. IN THAT DAY SHALL THERE BE A GREAT MOURNING IN JERUSALEM, AS THE MOURNING OF HADADRIMMON IN THE VALLEY OF MEGIDDON.

15-THE MYSTERY OF GOD SHOULD BE FINISHED:[/size]
THE BEGINNING OF THE SEVENTH TRUMPET
Rev 10:7-BUT IN THE DAYS OF THE VOICE OF THE SEVENTH ANGEL (or when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet-NIV, or shofar), WHEN HE SHALL BEGIN TO SOUND, THE MYSTERY (or hidden plan) OF GOD SHOULD BE FINISHED (or accomplished, or brought to completion) AS HE HATH DECLARED (or announced) TO HIS SERVANTS THE PROPHETS. In this verse are words, such as, "When the seventh angel is about to sound." In Rev 11:15, note the words, "The seventh angel sounded." This seems to be saying, when the angel is just about to sound the trumpet, at that exact instant, the hidden plan of God will be brought to completion. This occurs immediately after the Tribulation. The seventh trumpet actually sounding is in Rev 11:15. The mystery of God is finished when Jesus returns; as it is written, FOR NOW WE SEE THROUGH A GLASS, DARKLY; BUT THEN FACE TO FACE: NOW I KNOW IN PART; BUT THEN SHALL I KNOW EVEN AS ALSO I AM KNOWN-1 Cor 13:12. From the time that the seventh trumpet begins to sound, in Rev 10:7, to the time it does sound, in Rev 11:15, is a very short period.

16, 17-THE SEVENTH TRUMPET—THE WRATH OF JESUS HAS COME [size=8pt]

Rev 11:15-AND THE SEVENTH ANGEL SOUNDED (his shofar or trumpet).
Rev 11:18-AND THE NATIONS (or Goyim) WERE ANGRY (or raged), AND THY WRATH (or rage) IS COME. The nations of the world now understand (perhaps, as a result of the two prophet’s testimony, death, and resurrection) that their time is now up. Their disobedience, rebellion, blasphemy, and contempt against God is now at an end. They are enraged. It is written, THE HEATHEN RAGED, THE KINGDOMS WERE MOVED: HE UTTERED HIS VOICE, THE EARTH MELTED-Ps 46:6. Jesus is enraged or wroth; as it is written, I HAVE LONG TIME HOLDEN MY PEACE; I HAVE BEEN STILL, AND REFRAINED MYSELF: NOW WILL I CRY LIKE A TRAVAILING WOMAN; I WILL DESTROY AND DEVOUR AT ONCE-Isa 42:14.
Rev 11:18 continues, AND THE TIME OF THE DEAD, THAT THEY SHOULD BE JUDGED. Some consider that this is referring to the great white throne judgment, which will not take place for about another thousand years. Others consider it may be referring to the judgment of the nations, which occurs right after Armageddon. The verse continues, AND THAT THOU SHOULDEST GIVE REWARD UNTO THY SERVANTS THE PROPHETS, AND TO THE SAINTS (or holy people), AND THEM THAT FEAR THY NAME, (both) SMALL AND GREAT. The saints return with Jesus-ref Zech 14:5. Rewards will be given at that time. This is further confirmed in Mt 16:27. Some rewards will include the position of authority each person will have.
The verse continues, AND SHOULDEST DESTROY THEM WHICH DESTROY THE EARTH (it is also the time for destroying those who destroy the earth-JNT111).

18-THE TEMPLE OF GOD OPENS [/size]
Rev 11:19-AND THE TEMPLE OF GOD WAS OPENED IN HEAVEN, AND THERE WAS SEEN (or appeared) IN HIS TEMPLE THE ARK OF HIS TESTAMENT (or covenant). The covenant God has with Israel may be seen here as Jesus is about to return. This is God’s promise to Israel. He is keeping His Word.

[size=8pt]19-LIGHTNINGS, VOICES, THUNDERINGS, AN EARTHQUAKE, AND GREAT HAIL
(Scripture with commentary)[/size]
Rev 11:19-AND THERE WERE LIGHTNINGS, AND VOICES (or rumblings), AND THUNDERINGS, AND AN EARTHQUAKE, AND GREAT (or violent) HAIL (or a great hailstorm).
Lightnings may be referring to the second coming of Jesus. It is written, Mt 24:27-FOR AS THE LIGHTNING COMETH OUT OF THE EAST, AND SHINETH EVEN UNTO THE WEST; SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE. Lightnings are mentioned in Rev 4:5; 8:5,13; 10:3,4; 11:15,19; and 16:18.
Voices may be referring to the voices in heaven and the things which they are saying. Voices are mentioned in Rev 4:5; 8:5,13; 10:3,4; 11:15,19; and 16:18.
Thunderings could have some connection with the seven thunders or some other judgments. Thunders or thunderings are mentioned in Rev 4:5; 8:5; 10:3,4; 11:19; 16:18; and 19:6.
Earthquake appears singular here. This may be one of several that happen around the time of Armageddon, as many are listed. Earthquakes are mentioned in Rev 6:12; 8:5; 11:13,19; and 16:18. The earthquake, in Rev 16:18, is worse than any since man has been on the earth.
Hail is mentioned in Rev 8:7; 11:19; and 16:21. The hailstones, of Rev 16:21, weigh about 100 pounds each.

(Scripture )

Some verses in the Revelation containing the words,
lightnings, voices, thunderings, earthquake, and hail.
These are from different time periods.

Rev 4:5-AND OUT OF (or from) THE THRONE PROCEEDED LIGHTNINGS AND THUNDERINGS AND VOICES: AND THERE WERE SEVEN LAMPS OF FIRE BURNING BEFORE THE THRONE, WHICH ARE THE SEVEN SPIRITS (or sevenfold Spirit) OF GOD.
Rev 6:12-AND I BEHELD WHEN HE HAD OPENED (or broke) THE SIXTH SEAL, AND, LO, THERE WAS A GREAT EARTHQUAKE; AND THE SUN BECAME BLACK AS SACKCLOTH OF HAIR (worn in mourning or made of goat hair), AND THE (full) MOON BECAME AS BLOOD (red).
Rev 8:5-AND THE ANGEL TOOK THE CENSER (or incense-bowl), AND FILLED IT WITH FIRE OF (or from) THE ALTAR, AND CAST (or hurled) IT (down) INTO (or on) THE EARTH: AND THERE WERE (or came) VOICES (or rumblings), AND THUNDERINGS, AND LIGHTNINGS, AND AN EARTHQUAKE.
Rev 8:7-THE FIRST ANGEL SOUNDED (his shofar or trumpet), AND THERE FOLLOWED (or came) HAIL AND FIRE MINGLED (or mixed) WITH BLOOD, AND THEY WERE CAST (or hurled down) UPON THE EARTH: (and a third of the earth was burned up-NASB) AND THE THIRD PART OF TREES WAS BURNT UP, AND ALL GREEN GRASS WAS BURNT UP.
Rev 10:3-AND CRIED (or shouted) WITH A LOUD VOICE, AS (loud as) WHEN A LION ROARETH: AND WHEN HE HAD CRIED (or shouted), SEVEN THUNDERS UTTERED (or sounded with) THEIR VOICES.
Rev 10:4-AND WHEN THE SEVEN THUNDERS HAD UTTERED THEIR VOICES (or spoke), I WAS ABOUT TO WRITE: AND I HEARD A VOICE FROM HEAVEN SAYING UNTO ME, SEAL UP THOSE THINGS WHICH THE SEVEN THUNDERS UTTERED (or said), AND WRITE THEM NOT.
Rev 11:13-AND THE (very) SAME HOUR WAS THERE A GREAT EARTHQUAKE, AND THE TENTH PART OF THE CITY FELL (or collapsed), AND IN THE EARTHQUAKE WERE SLAIN (or killed) OF MEN SEVEN THOUSAND: AND THE REMNANT WERE AFFRIGHTED (or terrified), AND GAVE GLORY TO THE GOD OF HEAVEN.
Rev 11:15-AND THE SEVENTH ANGEL SOUNDED (his shofar or trumpet); AND THERE WERE GREAT (or loud) VOICES IN HEAVEN, SAYING, THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD ARE BECOME THE KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, AND OF HIS CHRIST (or Messiah); AND HE SHALL REIGN (or rule) FOR EVER AND EVER.
Rev 11:19-AND THE TEMPLE OF GOD WAS OPENED IN HEAVEN, AND THERE WAS SEEN IN HIS TEMPLE THE ARK OF HIS TESTAMENT: AND THERE WERE LIGHTNINGS, AND VOICES, AND THUNDERINGS, AND AN EARTHQUAKE, AND GREAT HAIL.
Rev 16:18-AND THERE WERE VOICES (or rumblings), AND (peals of) THUNDERS, AND (flashes of) LIGHTNINGS; AND THERE WAS A GREAT (or massive) EARTHQUAKE, SUCH AS WAS NOT (or has never occurred) SINCE MEN WERE UPON THE EARTH, SO MIGHTY (or violent, or tremendous) AN EARTHQUAKE, AND SO GREAT.
Rev 16:21-AND THERE FELL UPON MEN A GREAT HAIL (or huge hailstones) OUT OF HEAVEN (or the sky), EVERY STONE ABOUT THE WEIGHT OF A TALENT (or seventy, or a hundred pounds each): AND MEN BLASPHEMED (or cursed) GOD BECAUSE OF THE PLAGUE OF THE HAIL; FOR (or because) THE PLAGUE THEREOF WAS EXCEEDING GREAT (or terrible).
Rev 19:6-AND I HEARD AS IT WERE THE VOICE OF A GREAT MULTITUDE (or huge crowd), AND AS THE VOICE (or sound) OF MANY (rushing) WATERS, AND AS THE VOICE (or peals) OF MIGHTY THUNDERINGS, SAYING (or shouting), ALLELUIA: FOR THE LORD GOD OMNIPOTENT (or Almighty) REIGNETH (Adonai, God of heaven's armies, has begun His reign!-JNT112).

20-THE KINGS OF THE EARTH AND THE ANTICHRIST [size=8pt]

ARE GATHERED TO MAKE WAR AGAINST JESUS
Rev 19:19-AND I SAW THE BEAST (which is the Antichrist), AND THE KINGS OF THE EARTH, AND THEIR ARMIES, GATHERED TOGETHER TO MAKE WAR (or do battle) AGAINST HIM (Jesus) THAT SAT ON THE HORSE, AND AGAINST HIS ARMY. These are the saints that follow Jesus. It appears that the armies of the world were somehow deceived and came to Israel under false pretenses. Now their real purpose for being there is revealed. The spirit of Satan, the Antichrist, and the false prophet have coerced them to gather in Israel for the primary purpose of making war against Jesus. This is the Battle of Armageddon.
It is written, Rev 17:14-THESE SHALL MAKE WAR WITH THE LAMB, AND THE LAMB SHALL OVERCOME THEM.

21-HE GATHERED THEM TO A PLACE CALLED ARMAGEDDON: THE BATTLE IS AT HAND [/size]
Rev 16:13-AND I SAW THREE UNCLEAN SPIRITS (that looked) LIKE FROGS COME OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE DRAGON (which is Satan), AND OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE BEAST (which is the Antichrist), AND OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE FALSE PROPHET.
Rev 16:14-FOR THEY ARE THE SPIRITS OF DEVILS (or demonic spirits), WORKING (or performing) MIRACLES (or miraculous signs), WHICH GO FORTH UNTO THE KINGS OF THE EARTH AND OF THE WHOLE (inhabited) WORLD, TO GATHER (or assemble) THEM TO THE BATTLE OF THAT (war of the) GREAT DAY OF GOD ALMIGHTY.

Rev 16:15-BEHOLD (or look), I (Jesus) COME AS A THIEF. Jesus comes as a thief to those that are not blessed, the unrepentant, even those that are naked, which do not have on the clothing of righteousness through Jesus Christ. The announcement of "Jesus coming as a thief," is a message to them.
However, the next message is to the saints that have survived the Tribulation. BLESSED IS HE THAT WATCHETH (or stays awake, or alert). Those that repent during the Tribulation will be able to watch and understand the time that Jesus will return, as they compare the Scriptures with the events that are happening and count 42 months from the abomination of desolation. As they go through this horrible period, those that survive should be able to understand through God’s Word what events are still ahead.
BLESSED IS HE THAT…KEEPETH HIS GARMENTS (clean or keeps his clothes with him-NIV), LEST HE WALK NAKED, AND THEY SEE HIS SHAME (or be shamefully exposed, or publicly put to shame!). Armageddon is at hand. The return of Jesus is at hand. The person that is watching for Jesus' return, who does not turn from following Jesus, who does not turn back to sin, but remains faithful (even to the point of being killed)—this person is blessed. By doing these things, he is keeping his clothes. His clothing is Jesus. Should he turn from Jesus, then he is no longer clothed with righteousness. If a person is no longer clothed with the righteousness of Jesus, then he is naked; others can see his shame, as he is exposed.

Rev 16:16-AND HE (or they) GATHERED THEM (the kings) TOGETHER INTO A PLACE CALLED IN THE HEBREW TONGUE ARMAGEDDON (or "hill of Megiddo"wink. The kings and armies of the world are gathered together at this place. It is written, THEREFORE WAIT YE UPON ME, SAITH THE LORD, UNTIL THE DAY THAT I RISE UP TO THE PREY: FOR MY DETERMINATION IS TO GATHER THE NATIONS, THAT I MAY ASSEMBLE THE KINGDOMS, TO POUR UPON THEM MINE INDIGNATION, EVEN ALL MY FIERCE ANGER: FOR ALL THE EARTH SHALL BE DEVOURED WITH THE FIRE OF MY JEALOUSY-Zeph 3:8.
Megiddo, today, is a large hill or mound of ruins from ancient times (also called a "tel"wink. It sits on the edge of a vast plain, known as Esdraelon or Jezreel Valley. Here, in this fertile farmland of northern Israel and extending through the Jordan Valley, the great armies of the world are expected to assemble for war. This area covers nearly 200 miles in length-ref Rev 14:20.

22-THE LAND IS FULL OF SILVER, GOLD, AND IDOLS[size=8pt]

Isa 2:7-9-THEIR LAND ALSO IS FULL OF SILVER AND GOLD, NEITHER IS THERE ANY END OF THEIR TREASURES; THEIR LAND IS ALSO FULL OF HORSES, NEITHER IS THERE ANY END OF THEIR CHARIOTS: THEIR LAND ALSO IS FULL OF IDOLS; THEY WORSHIP THE WORK OF THEIR OWN HANDS, THAT WHICH THEIR OWN FINGERS HAVE MADE: AND (or so) THE MEAN (or common) MAN BOWETH DOWN, AND THE GREAT MAN (or man of importance) HUMBLETH HIMSELF: THEREFORE FORGIVE THEM NOT (or do not forgive them-NIV).

23-IT IS DONE: THE SEVENTH VIAL [/size]
Rev 16:17-AND THE SEVENTH ANGEL POURED OUT HIS VIAL (or bowl) INTO THE AIR; AND THERE CAME A GREAT (or loud) VOICE OUT OF THE TEMPLE OF HEAVEN, FROM THE THRONE, SAYING, IT IS DONE. The seventh and final vial is poured out into the air. An announcement is made, with a loud voice, from the temple in heaven. That voice says, "IT IS DONE."

26-THE JUDGMENT OF ISRAEL AT HIS COMING (JIAHC)[size=8pt]
(Commentary)


IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION, THEN SHALL APPEAR THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IN HEAVEN: AND THEN SHALL ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH MOURN, AND THEY SHALL SEE THE SON OF MAN (Jesus) COMING IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY-Mt 24:29,30.
Israel shall be judged at the coming of Jesus. In the judgment of Israel during the Tribulation, two parts are cut off and die, BUT THE THIRD SHALL BE LEFT THEREIN-Zech 13:8. For Jesus shall destroy the sinners out of the land. Those that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
Jesus shall come unto them that turn from their transgressions. Upon the house of David and Jerusalem, the Lord will pour out the Spirit of grace; as it is written, SO ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED-Ro 11:26 (all that are left alive). This is the judgment of Israel at the coming of Jesus. Then Jesus will reign and rule the entire earth from Jerusalem for one thousand years.

(Scripture)

It is written, Jude 14,15-AND ENOCH, PROPHESIED, SAYING, BEHOLD, THE LORD COMETH WITH TEN THOUSANDS OF HIS SAINTS, TO EXECUTE JUDGMENT UPON ALL, AND TO CONVINCE ALL THAT ARE UNGODLY AMONG THEM OF ALL THEIR UNGODLY DEEDS WHICH THEY HAVE UNGODLY COMMITTED, AND OF ALL THEIR HARD SPEECHES WHICH UNGODLY SINNERS HAVE SPOKEN AGAINST HIM.
Isa 13:9-For BEHOLD, THE DAY OF THE LORD COMETH, CRUEL BOTH WITH WRATH AND FIERCE ANGER, TO LAY THE LAND DESOLATE: AND HE SHALL DESTROY THE SINNERS THEREOF OUT OF IT.
Isa 1:25-AND I WILL TURN MY HAND UPON THEE, AND PURELY PURGE AWAY THY DROSS, AND TAKE AWAY ALL THY TIN.
Isa 1:27,28-ZION SHALL BE REDEEMED WITH JUDGMENT, AND HER CONVERTS WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS. AND THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TRANSGRESSORS AND OF THE SINNERS SHALL BE TOGETHER, AND THEY THAT FORSAKE THE LORD SHALL BE CONSUMED.
Isa 59:20-AND THE REDEEMER SHALL COME TO ZION, AND UNTO THEM THAT TURN FROM TRANSGRESSION IN JACOB, SAITH THE LORD.
Zech 12:10-AND I WILL POUR UPON THE HOUSE OF DAVID, AND UPON THE INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM, THE SPIRIT OF GRACE AND OF SUPPLICATIONS: AND THEY SHALL LOOK UPON ME WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED, AND THEY SHALL MOURN FOR HIM, AS ONE MOURNETH FOR HIS ONLY SON, AND SHALL BE IN BITTERNESS (or grieve bitterly) FOR HIM, AS ONE THAT IS IN BITTERNESS (or grieves) FOR HIS FIRSTBORN.
Ro 11:26,27-AND SO ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED: AS IT IS WRITTEN, THERE SHALL COME OUT OF ZION THE DELIVERER, AND SHALL TURN AWAY UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB.
FOR THIS IS MY COVENANT UNTO THEM, WHEN I SHALL TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.
This is the judgment of Israel at His coming.

27-THE JUDGMENT OF THE HEATHEN AT ARMAGEDDON (JHA)
(Commentary)
[/size]
Tradition associates the Valley of Jehoshaphat with the Kidron Valley.

(Scripture, in brief)

It is written, Joel 3:12-14-LET THE HEATHEN (or nations) BE WAKENED (or aroused), AND COME UP (or advance) TO THE VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT: FOR THERE WILL I SIT TO JUDGE ALL THE HEATHEN (or surrounding nations) ROUND ABOUT (or on every side). PUT YE IN (or swing) THE SICKLE, FOR THE HARVEST IS RIPE: COME, (tread or trample the grapes) GET (or go) YOU DOWN; FOR THE (wine) PRESS IS FULL, THE VATS OVERFLOW; FOR THEIR WICKEDNESS IS GREAT. MULTITUDES, MULTITUDES IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION: FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD IS NEAR IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION.
Enoch prophesied saying, Jude 14,15-BEHOLD, THE LORD COMETH WITH TEN THOUSANDS OF HIS SAINTS, TO EXECUTE JUDGMENT UPON ALL, AND TO CONVINCE ALL THAT ARE UNGODLY AMONG THEM OF ALL THEIR UNGODLY DEEDS WHICH THEY HAVE UNGODLY COMMITTED, AND OF ALL THEIR HARD SPEECHES WHICH UNGODLY SINNERS HAVE SPOKEN AGAINST HIM.
Rev 19:11-AND I SAW HEAVEN OPENED, AND BEHOLD A WHITE HORSE; AND HE THAT SAT UPON HIM WAS CALLED FAITHFUL AND TRUE, AND IN RIGHTEOUSNESS HE DOTH JUDGE AND MAKE WAR.

28-SEVENTY WEEKS ARE DETERMINED [size=8pt]

One of the things included in the last week is to bring in everlasting righteousness.
It is written, Dan 9:24-SEVENTY WEEKS ARE DETERMINED…AND TO BRING IN EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Religion / What Did Bible Says About Abortion by mrcharlott(m): 1:45pm On Jun 22, 2010
[center]ABORTION [/center]
In Genesis 1:1, God’s Word declares, "In the beginning "God." The existence of God is fact. God is; God reigns; and He rules. Indeed, Ps 19:1-THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD; AND THE (SKIES PROCLAIM THE WORK OF HIS HANDS-NIV). It is written in Ro 1:20-THE INVISIBLE THINGS OF HIM FROM THE CREATION OF THE WORLD ARE CLEARLY SEEN, BEING UNDERSTOOD BY THE THINGS THAT ARE MADE, EVEN HIS ETERNAL POWER AND GODHEAD; SO THAT THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE.
Gen 1:1,27,28-IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH. Gen 1:26-28-AND GOD SAID, LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE, AFTER OUR LIKENESS: AND LET THEM HAVE DOMINION OVER THE FISH OF THE SEA, AND OVER THE FOWL OF THE AIR, AND OVER THE CATTLE, AND OVER ALL THE EARTH, AND OVER EVERY CREEPING THING THAT CREEPETH UPON THE EARTH. SO GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, IN THE IMAGE OF GOD CREATED HE HIM; MALE AND FEMALE CREATED HE THEM. AND GOD BLESSED THEM, AND GOD SAID UNTO THEM, BE FRUITFUL, AND MULTIPLY, AND REPLENISH THE EARTH, AND SUBDUE IT: AND HAVE DOMINION OVER THE FISH OF THE SEA, AND OVER THE FOWL OF THE AIR, AND OVER EVERY LIVING THING THAT MOVETH UPON THE EARTH. Note God’s command: BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY.

The Scriptures reveal to us that Jesus is the Word and He is God-ref Jn 1:1,14. Jesus is also Life-ref Jn 1:4, Jn 5:26; 5:40, 6:33, 6:35; 6:63. Jn 10:10 tells us-THE THIEF COMETH NOT, BUT FOR TO STEAL, AND TO KILL, AND TO DESTROY: I AM COME THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE LIFE, AND THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY. Again, we say, Jesus is life; however, Satan comes to kill and destroy.

In Genesis, God’s covenant of life rejects and condemns abortion. He commands BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY-Gen 1:28. The covenant of life is family. It is written: Ps 127:3-CHILDREN ARE AN HERITAGE OF THE LORD: AND THE FRUIT OF THE WOMB IS HIS REWARD. Man takes what God calls His reward and aborts it. It is written: Pv 17:6-CHILDREN'S CHILDREN ARE THE CROWN OF OLD MEN; AND THE GLORY OF CHILDREN ARE THEIR FATHERS. God’s covenant of life, of family, and of children rejects and condemns abortion.

America now protects (so-called endangered) turtle eggs, birds, and small animals but slaughters the fruit of the womb. A person can get fined for damaging endangered turtle eggs, but receives payment for killing unborn human babies.

In 1997, 1,184,758 abortions were reported to the CDC. The majority of the women were white and unmarried. This would average approximately 3,245 abortions every day in America. The total number of abortions in America from 1972 through 1999 was approximately 33,061,034, with 586,760 being reported in 1972. Throughout the world, the total number would be many times more. It is now legal to abort a baby in America through the 9th month of pregnancy (God forbid). The fruit of the womb is a human life. It is reported that medical science can detect life on the twelfth day. However, God ordains life the moment the sperm enters the egg. The fruit of the womb is a soul that God has ordained and knows.

It is written in Ex 21:22-23-IF MEN STRIVE, AND HURT A WOMAN WITH CHILD, SO THAT HER FRUIT DEPART FROM HER, AND YET NO MISCHIEF FOLLOW: HE SHALL BE SURELY PUNISHED, ACCORDING AS THE WOMAN'S HUSBAND WILL LAY UPON HIM; AND HE SHALL PAY AS THE JUDGES DETERMINE. AND IF ANY MISCHIEF FOLLOW, THEN THOU SHALT GIVE LIFE FOR LIFE. God calls the fruit of the womb LIFE.

It is written in Isa 49:1-LISTEN, O ISLES, UNTO ME; AND HEARKEN, YE PEOPLE, FROM FAR; THE LORD HATH CALLED ME FROM THE WOMB; FROM THE BOWELS OF MY MOTHER HATH HE MADE MENTION OF MY NAME. God knew Isaiah before he was ever born. He knew his name. God forbid, what if someone had tried to abort the prophet Isaiah?

It is written in Gen 25:21-26-AND ISAAC INTREATED THE LORD FOR HIS WIFE, BECAUSE SHE WAS BARREN: AND THE LORD WAS INTREATED OF HIM, AND REBEKAH HIS WIFE CONCEIVED. AND THE CHILDREN STRUGGLED TOGETHER WITHIN HER; AND SHE SAID, IF IT BE SO, WHY AM I THUS? AND SHE WENT TO INQUIRE OF THE LORD. AND THE LORD SAID UNTO HER, TWO NATIONS ARE IN THY WOMB, AND TWO MANNER OF PEOPLE SHALL BE SEPARATED FROM THY BOWELS; AND THE ONE PEOPLE SHALL BE STRONGER THAN THE OTHER PEOPLE; AND THE ELDER SHALL SERVE THE YOUNGER. AND WHEN HER DAYS TO BE DELIVERED WERE FULFILLED, BEHOLD, THERE WERE TWINS IN HER WOMB. AND THE FIRST CAME OUT RED, ALL OVER LIKE AN HAIRY GARMENT; AND THEY CALLED HIS NAME ESAU. AND AFTER THAT CAME HIS BROTHER OUT, AND HIS HAND TOOK HOLD ON ESAU'S HEEL; AND HIS NAME WAS CALLED JACOB: AND ISAAC WAS THREESCORE YEARS OLD WHEN SHE BARE THEM. God is in control. It is He that brings about conception. He knows the names of the fruit of the womb before they are born. They are living children. He knows each one's personality even before they are born. He knows the details of their life and what they will do. God forbid, what if someone had tried to abort Esau and Jacob?

It is written in Lk 1:13-17- BUT THE ANGEL SAID UNTO HIM, FEAR NOT, ZACHARIAS: FOR THY PRAYER IS HEARD; AND THY WIFE ELISABETH SHALL BEAR THEE A SON, AND THOU SHALT CALL HIS NAME JOHN. AND THOU SHALT HAVE JOY AND GLADNESS; AND MANY SHALL REJOICE AT HIS BIRTH. FOR HE SHALL BE GREAT IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD, AND SHALL DRINK NEITHER WINE NOR STRONG DRINK; AND HE SHALL BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, EVEN FROM HIS MOTHER'S WOMB. AND MANY OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SHALL HE TURN TO THE LORD THEIR GOD. AND HE SHALL GO BEFORE HIM IN THE SPIRIT AND POWER OF ELIAS, TO TURN THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS TO THE CHILDREN, AND THE DISOBEDIENT TO THE WISDOM OF THE JUST; TO MAKE READY A PEOPLE PREPARED FOR THE LORD. God did a miracle. He brought about the conception of John the Baptist. Even before Elizabeth had conceived, God knew about John the Baptist. He knew when he would be born. He knew his name. He knew about the child. He knew all about John’s life. Matthew’s Gospel said of John the Baptist: Mt 11:11-Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist…God forbid, what is someone had tried to abort John the Baptist? Lk 1:44-AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT, WHEN ELISABETH HEARD THE SALUTATION OF MARY, THE BABE LEAPED IN HER WOMB. Does this mean that the fruit of Elizabeth’s womb was a meaningless mass of cells or was it life? It is clear that the fruit of her womb was a human life that was ordained of God.

It is written in Lk 1:26-32-AND IN THE SIXTH MONTH THE ANGEL GABRIEL WAS SENT FROM GOD UNTO A CITY OF GALILEE, NAMED NAZARETH, TO A VIRGIN ESPOUSED TO A MAN WHOSE NAME WAS JOSEPH, OF THE HOUSE OF DAVID; AND THE VIRGIN'S NAME WAS MARY. AND THE ANGEL CAME IN UNTO HER, AND SAID, HAIL, THOU THAT ART HIGHLY FAVOURED, THE LORD IS WITH THEE: BLESSED ART THOU AMONG WOMEN. AND WHEN SHE SAW HIM, SHE WAS TROUBLED AT HIS SAYING, AND CAST IN HER MIND WHAT MANNER OF SALUTATION THIS SHOULD BE. AND THE ANGEL SAID UNTO HER, FEAR NOT, MARY: FOR THOU HAST FOUND FAVOUR WITH GOD. AND, BEHOLD, THOU SHALT CONCEIVE IN THY WOMB, AND BRING FORTH A SON, AND SHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS. HE SHALL BE GREAT, AND SHALL BE CALLED THE SON OF THE HIGHEST: AND THE LORD GOD SHALL GIVE UNTO HIM THE THRONE OF HIS FATHER DAVID. The angel is announcing the birth of Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son. The coming of the Messiah was foretold back in Genesis 3:15. The miraculous conception, the name, childhood, adulthood, death, and resurrection of the Messiah was foreknown and foreordained of God. Jn 3:16-FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. God forbid, what if someone had tried to abort the Son of God? What if someone had tried to abort Mary, the mother of Jesus. What if someone had tried to abort "YOU."

Some would say that a woman has the right to do whatever she wants with her own body. Yet God says: 1 Cor 3:16, 17-KNOW YE NOT THAT (YOU) ARE (GOD’S TEMPLE), AND THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD (LIVES) IN YOU? IF ANY MAN (DESTROYS) THE TEMPLE OF GOD (GOD WILL DESTROY HIM); FOR THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS HOLY (or sacred), (AND YOU ARE THAT TEMPLE-NIV). Nevertheless, the fruit of the womb that the woman carries is not her own body. Her body nourishes it, but it is a separate life. God knows the name of that infant and even his or her future. She may have authority from man to kill that separate life without being judged, but know this. It is written Heb 9:27-AND AS IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MEN ONCE TO DIE, BUT AFTER THIS THE JUDGMENT. Here is proof that the fruit of a woman's womb is not her own body. The genetic code of a woman’s body is the same whether it is an organ inside of her or outside, such as an eye. However, the fruit of the womb has a different genetic code than that of the mother. It is a separate life. If she aborts it, she is not killing part her own body, but is killing a totally separate and genetically different life. She is killing a human being that has been ordained of God with a life and a future of his or her own. It has been said that two people walk into an abortion clinic, but only one walks out alive. But consider this. Two walk into an abortion clinic, but both die—the one dies physically, and the other is dead spiritually. Something else worth considering. It has also been reported that many women, once they have had an abortion, afterwards suffer both physically and emotionally. At some later time in life, if that same woman wants a baby after she is married, she may have complications or not be able to have another.

It is written: Pv 6:16-17-THESE SIX THINGS DOTH THE LORD HATE: YEA, SEVEN ARE AN ABOMINATION UNTO HIM:…HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD. Yes, the mother that aborts that child, which is from God, will be judged at the judgment, but so shall all that are involved in man’s legalized murder.

It is written: Isa 10:1-WOE UNTO THEM THAT DECREE UNRIGHTEOUS DECREES (or make unjust laws), AND THAT WRITE GRIEVOUSNESS WHICH THEY HAVE PRESCRIBED (or to those who issue oppressive decrees-NIV). God’s Word gives a severe warning to all that would try to go against God’s laws. They may not believe in God, but the very God that they do not believe in will indeed judge them. Indeed, these very words shall judge him. It is written: Jn 12:48-HE THAT REJECTETH ME, AND RECEIVETH NOT MY WORDS, HATH ONE THAT JUDGETH HIM: THE WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, THE SAME SHALL JUDGE HIM IN THE LAST DAY.

God’s Word and medical science have both proven that the fruit of the womb is a totally separate person from the mother. As already mentioned: Ps 127:3-CHILDREN ARE AN HERITAGE OF THE LORD: AND THE FRUIT OF THE WOMB IS HIS REWARD. It is part of God’s covenant of life. Consider carefully what God’s Word has said. It is written: Pv 3:7-8-BE NOT WISE IN THINE OWN EYES: FEAR THE LORD, AND DEPART FROM EVIL. IT SHALL BE HEALTH TO THY NAVEL, AND MARROW TO THY BONES. Pv 16:6-7…BY THE FEAR OF THE LORD MEN DEPART FROM EVIL. WHEN A MAN'S WAYS PLEASE THE LORD, HE MAKETH EVEN HIS ENEMIES TO BE AT PEACE WITH HIM. Pv 16:17-THE HIGHWAY OF THE UPRIGHT IS TO DEPART FROM EVIL: HE THAT KEEPETH HIS WAY PRESERVETH HIS SOUL. Lk 13:3-I TELL YOU, NAY: BUT, EXCEPT YE REPENT, YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH.

Rev 3:18-20-I COUNSEL THEE…ANOINT THINE EYES WITH EYESALVE, THAT THOU MAYEST SEE. AS MANY AS I LOVE, I REBUKE AND CHASTEN: BE ZEALOUS THEREFORE, AND REPENT. BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR, AND KNOCK: IF ANY MAN HEAR MY VOICE, AND OPEN THE DOOR, I WILL COME IN TO HIM, AND WILL SUP WITH HIM, AND HE WITH ME.

If you are reading this and contemplating having an abortion—stop. Do not do it. If you have already done it, there is still hope. If you will repent and receive Jesus Christ by faith as your Lord and Savior, He will forgive you. Click on SALVATION, if you want to be saved. God loves you!
Religion / 7 Seals, Trumpets, Vials: Explained by mrcharlott(m): 11:18am On Jun 22, 2010
[size=8pt][center]THE SEVEN SEALS[/center][/size]
The white horse1. Rev 6:1,2.  The Antichrist comes forth.  He has a bow, but no arrows are mentioned.  A crown is given to him.  He goes forth conquering and to conquer.
The red horse2. Rev 6:3,4 .  War.  That they should take peace from the earth.  He has a great sword.
The black horse3. Rev 6:5,6.  Famine.  A day’s wages for a day’s food.  Hurt not the oil and the wine.
The pale horse4. Rev 6:7,8 .  Death.  One-fourth of the earth’s population is killed.  Hell followed with him.  Kill with the sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts.

Great earthquake6. Rev 6:12-17 .  The sun black and moon as blood.  The stars of heaven (angels) fell.  Heaven departed as a scroll.  Every mountain and island was moved.  Multitudes hid.  The great day of His wrath is come.
Silence in heaven about the space of half an hour7. Rev 8:1

[size=8pt][center]THE SEVEN TRUMPETS[/center][/size]
1. Rev 8:6,7 Hail and fire mingled with blood.  A third part of the trees burned up.  All green grass burned up.
2. Rev 8:8,9 A great mountain burning with fire cast into the sea.  A third part of the sea became blood.
3. Rev 8:10,11[b] A great star from heaven fell upon the third part of the rivers and fountains of waters[/b]
4. Rev 8:12  Third part of the sun, moon, and stars smitten.  The day and the night shone not for a third part of it.
5. Rev 9:1-12  First woe.  Locusts.  A star from heaven (an angel) was given the key to the bottomless pit.  The pit opened.  Locusts came upon the earth.  They hurt
men (they sting them) that do not have the seal of God in their foreheads for five months.
6. Rev 9:13-21  Second woe.  Loose the four angels bound in the river Euphrates.  A third part of men were killed.  The army of the horsemen was two hundred million.  People repented not.  Second woe is past Rev 11:14.
7. Rev 10:7-11:15-19  Third woe.  When he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished.  The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord.
He shall reign.  Thy wrath is come.   The temple of God opened in heaven. Lightnings, voices, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.
[size=8pt][center]
THE SEVEN VIALS[/center]
[/size]
1. Rev 16:2  Sores.  Noisome and grievous sores upon them that had the mark of the beast and worshiped his image.
2. Rev 16:3 Sea as blood.  The sea became as the blood of a dead man.  Every living soul in the sea died.
3. Rev 16:4  Fountains blood.  The rivers and fountains of waters became blood.
4. Rev 16:8,9  Great heat.  Vial poured out upon the sun.  Men scorched with great heat.
5. Rev 16:10,11  Darkness.  Vial poured out upon the seat of the beast.  His kingdom is full of darkness; they gnawed their tongues for pain.
6. Rev 16:12  The Euphrates River dries up.
7. Rev 16:17-21  It is done.  Voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and the greatest earthquake.  Jerusalem divided into three parts.  The cities of the nations fell. Every island fled away.  The mountains were not found.  There was great hail.

[center]WHO ARE THESE THINGS HAPPENING TO?[/center]
1. The unbelievers ( people that refuses to accept Jesus as their Lord and savior) or that reject the Gospel  because Bible made us to understand that No name under heaven by which we must be save except Jesus. ACT 4:10-12
2. The people that participates what Bible said in 1cor 6:9-10
3. The people that disobey God's commandment that can be found in Exodus 20:3-17
4. All Evil doers
5. All wicked people.

If you are any of these repent now and accept Jesus now and begin to live a holy life and avoid sins. I can tell you vividly that you won't be part of these.

Religion / Re: How Many Soul Have You Won For The Kingdom? by mrcharlott(m): 2:27pm On May 31, 2010
Jenwitemi:

^^^ Have you won your way into the kingdom yourself? Have you converted your own soul yet? Winning souls for the kingdom is not about recruiting people to help increase the number of your church/religion. It is much much deeper than that. Instead of going about evangelizing old gists and making a nuisance out of yourself, why don't you use all that time and energy to work on yourself, so that you can enter the kingdom?

My Life reflect it. Its Christ's command that after been saved, that we should SPREAD the GOOD NEWS and save others, This thread is not for argument, is just to remind my Dear brethren in Christ that have been saved in other not to be selfish about the salvation. Beware Christ is coming back soon. Work your way right to meet him. The way you talk here means that you still need to be more closer to God and also to be more close to word of God (your Bible) in other to meet Him, a good Christian will never talk like that. I have passion to save souls. People are dying day and night going to hell and you are there telling me i should work on my self first. Well thanks it is a word of encouragement. I'm doing that day and night and I will continue to save souls and continues to build my self more in faith and in spirit, God's grace will help me to achieve this. But you too work on your life, you still need God's hand and grace. EVERYBODY NEEDS THAT. don't waste time repent now. THE RAPTURE CAN BE NOW, No one knows the time, nor the Angel or any Heavenly Host, EXCEPT THE FATHER (GOD)
Religion / How Many Soul Have You Won For The Kingdom? by mrcharlott(m): 8:31am On May 31, 2010
Soul winning is a major priority in developing spiritual life. The more you are able to convert a soul from that eternal destruction into everlasting Joy of His Kingdom, the more your spiritual life will be growing speedily. Therefore lets cultivate the habit of winning soul for the Lord, this will help our spiritual life. Bible said in Matt 28:19-20 to do so. As you do this, God will help you and you will never miss the Rapture and more importantly, The Crown is waiting for those who did the work diligently. Come LORD JESUS CHRIST! COME Amen, REPORT HERE IF YOU WIN A SOUL FOR THE LORD THIS WEEK. HOW MANY?
