Foreign AffairsRe: Is The Israel Of 1948 The Same Israel In The Bible? by Rhips: 10:48pm On Jun 19, 2025
mrvitalis:
Which year was Jordan founded
Syria nko?
Lebanon nko

Why focus on isreal
According to the Bible (Book of Eziekiel and others), May 14th, 1948, was the exact date the Bible prophesied that modern Israel will be founded. May or may not be aware of it, David Ben-Gurion and President Truman were just vessels used by God to bring to pass what the Bible prophesied over year 400 years ago in the Bible.

There are only two dates God hid from mankind (and that is the date of Rapture, and the date anti-Christ will be revealed). He only gave signs for these dates.
But God revealed every other date in the Bible including the date of first coming of Jesus Christ (His birth, death, and resurrection), the date of His second return to the earth, the exact date of rebirth of Israel (14th May 1948), and many more dates of all Biblical events in God's Calendar. They are all hidden in the sacred pages of the Bible. If we ready and study the Bible, He will show us.
Foreign AffairsRe: Is The Israel Of 1948 The Same Israel In The Bible? by Rhips: 6:51pm On Jun 19, 2025
Obrigardo:
I'm asking a legitimate question
Is the state of Israel founded in 1948 still the same Israel in the Bible?
Yes, it is. Circumstantially and specifically.
Circumstantially because the hatred of all its neighbours and much of the world against Israel + Plus other happenings around Israel.
Specifically, there are numbers from the Bible that suggests that modern Isreal will be born on exactly 14th May 1948.
For example, if you calculate how long the Bible says Israel servitude will last because they become an unsovereign nation again, you will get to 14th May 1948 as the date it will end. There are others but this is the most obvious one.

Also, if you consider that the Roman Empire, according to the Bible, will be the last empire that till rule over Israel before the anti-Christ led Conferderation nations, you will conclude that the current Israel is the Israel of the Bible.
Finally, there is no record in the Bible of faking Israel. There is of faking to be a Jew and other things, but not Israel.
Christianity EtcRe: Where Does A Man Go After He Dies? by Rhips: 6:46pm On May 25, 2025
Preciousgirl:
What happens to a man after he dies
From a biblical and spiritual perspective?
This is second most important question in life and connected to the most important question.
And believe it or not, the answer is littered and hidden in the sacred pages of the word of God, the Bible. And Jesus spoke a lot about it.
But before I answer, I would like to say that this question and the answer are connected to other questions which i will throw out for us to think about. Such other questions are: What is death, what are types of death how it started, what is the solution to death, what happens to kids that die and those that die in the womb, and what about the mad people that die and what about the people that died before Jesus and those that die without hearing the Gospel. These questions are all connected and answers to them are all in the Bible.

Death is defined as separation of the person's body from the person's spirit for physical death. For spiritual death, death is defined as the separation of a person from God for eternity.
And to answer the main question of what happens to a person when the person dies. Answer is simple:
First, the person's body is buried under the ground. Then the person's spirit goes to a temporary place called Heaven (if the person died in Christ). Heaven is the City/Home of God where Jesus Christ physically lives today. But if the person did not die in Christ, the person's spirit goes to a temporary place called hell. Notice that both Heaven and hell are temporary to the occupants.
Then at Rapture, the person in heaven will be joined together with the resurrected body to meet Jesus, face the Judgement Seat of Christ where He will judge for good and bad works done here on earth) and be with Jesus for eternity. On the other hand, at the end of the millennial reign of Jesus Christ, the occupants of hell will be rejoined (second resurrection) with their buried bodies to face the White Throne Judgement where they their punishments will be determined for rejecting Chris and their sinful acts after which they will all be thrown to the lake of fire for eternity (second death). I hope the answer to the question is clear otherwise, please ask questions.
Cheers

Obama is talking rubbish. Trump does not want these law firms (Perkins Coie, Milbank LLP, Willkie Farr & Gallagher, Covington and Burling) to get any job from government to whom he is the CEO of the executive branch of government because they left law to do politics and worked with Biden administration to jail him falsely based on lies. There are thousands of other Leftie law firms doing legitimate law work for leftie clients. These four firms are bad people. Perkins Coie is the same law Firm that engineered the Russia collusion investigation on behalf of Clinton allot tearing US apart. We now know the whole Russian investigation was a policial hack job.
For Associated Press, he believes they are fake, hostile and does not want them inside his office at Oval Office. They should report from outside or anywhere else. AP connived with the Dems to plot a take down and jail him. I wouldn't allow them into my office if I were him. There are other nonfriendly media houses doing their work but not doing political hack job.

For these foreign students, it is not a policy disagreement that is getting them deported. It is anti-sedentism and anti-Americanism. They were issued student visa to study and not to protest. After being deported, they should do so in their country and by the way. If you are a foreigner, dent get involved in internal politics. Go back to your country and do so.
The fact is that there no human being that will be friendly with anyone that tried to jail you for life simply because of politics.

Hey do you guys notice paseiro operates the field just like Jose mounriho?
They all fall back leaving only osimehn incase of a
counter even when they are winning this is why the goal difference just 1 not forgetting the round of 16 second goal is through the same tactics and based on counter.
No team in Africa might be able to handle this kinda formation.
It's safe to say congratulations in advance to the Super eagles of Nigeria.

FamilyRe: My Son's Behavior Is Getting Out Of Hand by Rhips: 1:07pm On Mar 26, 2022
klassyguy:
I have two lovely kids with my wife - a girl and a boy. My son is six years old while his sister is eight. Both were born here in the US. I’ve done what I feel is right as a father to train these kids, but I know not everything can be done accordingly.

My son is restless. He has the attention span of three seconds before he gets distracted by something else. My mum tells says he is a copy of me when I was his age, but that was in the eighties and the way children were handled back then is totally different from today. He hardly wants to do anything in terms of school work and almost every day I get complaints from his teacher that he does not do his work or he is disruptive in class. When other students are doing their work, my son will be the one falling off his chair or hiding under his desk. His teacher told me he acts out when being corrected. Only yesterday my wife told me the teacher met her when she went to pick them up in school and told her that my son started yelling when the lights in the class started flickering. His behavior got so bad, they had to call the school security officer before he calmed down.

This behavior is really bothering me. I know my son is smart. His pre-school teacher once told me he was the smartest student she had. My son can do complex mathematical equations off the top of his head that even his older sister struggles to do. He has a very good memory and can list off all the types of trains that exist in the US, things that even I don’t know. It’s sitting down to be serious about work that he can’t do and can’t seem to focus on.

I enrolled him in a soccer club to see if that would help him expel his excess energy. At first he seemed to be lazy as he gets frustrated easily, and rather try harder, my son would rather give up and cry. I mostly have to encourage him to put in more effort, and most of the time he does not pay attention to what the coach says. The coach told me a couple of days ago that he wants to move him to a lower group level to see if he can build his confidence there.

I want to believe it’s his being the last born for now that’s worrying him. He seemed to start being a bit more mature when my wife got pregnant last year and he learnt they had a younger sibling on the way, but unfortunately, she miscarried and we lost the baby. I’ve been thinking for a while now whether to move back to Nigeria with everyone so that we can build some sense into both of them (my daughter’s story is another one). I’ve thought of taking them both for an ADHD test, but my wife is against that. The only time my son pays attention is when he’s doing something he likes, and that is when he’s playing the PS5 I got them or watching videos on YouTube Kids.

Any advice would be welcome from parents out there.
In the fullness of time, he will be the employer to the other“ well behaved ones”. Take time to identify his gifts and nurture them. And also set back time table of activities for them.
Remember he is only 6. He will change (just like you did - you were once like him) but it seems to have an extra ordinarily smart boy as a son.

otipoju:
These are classification that one man thought about. No where in the bible is such classification made.
Its someone's erroneous opinion. Prophecy is not a vocal gift.

Stop saying nonsense. Its like saying talking is a gift and walking is a gift or eating is a spiritual gift. These are natural traits of humans.

Prophesy is the revelation of hidden things from God to man. The prophet sees or hears and then relays what he or she saw. The spiritual gift itself is the ability to receive revelations or access the spiritual realms to access information not know to the five senses.

Events of the past, present and future become accessible to the prophet. That is the gift.

The verbal narrating of what the prophet is seeing or hearing or saw or heard is not the gift.

Stop regurgitating what someone wrote somewhere and take time to read and meditate yourself on scriptures and pray to God to teach you spiritual things
Prophecy not vocalised is not prophecy, hence it is a regarded as a vocal gift. It must be spoken. It is not a revelation. By the way, the grouping is not a doctrine but merely used to understand these gifts and how they operate.
However, we don’t have to debate and agree. As such. I will respectfully make no further comments.
Thank you and God bless.

Your classifications are not accurate.And the bible makes no such classification of spiritual gifts. Prophesy is the chief of all revelation is not any vocal gift which may be the ability to sing Soeaking in tounges was and is for a purpose. ..it is a sign attesting to the power of God for non believers. You must quote bible verses to support your claims if not what you are doing is eisigesis and not exegesis.

Do you know what prophecy is? Do you have any real experience with a Prophet of God. To say that it is a vocal gift. Something that is an office on its own as s means of revealing hidden information known to God to men.

Tounges mean language. A language is has structure.
Alphabets, words, phrases , and full sentences that have meaning to its speakers.

Tell me how kre bobo yakra magra skreta greklo sjerete skra baba repeated in no logical order makes meaning to anyone not to talk of being interpreted by anyone.
These groupings are for ease of understanding.
Whether sang in songs or spoken in words, prophecy as you mentioned is a vocal gift. Other vocal gifts are Tongues (split further into 3 ) and interpretation of Tongues which is much like gift of prophecy but is a mere interpretation of Tongues to edify and build up fellow Christians.
So many Christians are confused about these things but with the help of the Holy Spirit, diligent study of and listening to teachings, things are made clearer. And once they are clearer, confusions and the turmoil associated with confusions will give way to peace.

You will need to provide verses to support your claims. On that day of pentecost Jews and converts to Judaism had come from around the world to celebrate in Jerusalem. The "tounges" that were heard were actual human languages like Greek, Persian, Arabic, French, English, Spanish, German and so on.

That single incident made converts out of some of the traveling Jews and Gentiles who were able to go back to their various countries of residence and report what they experienced .

However, the ability to speak a language that you had not learned is a spiritual gift. Some others are also gifted with the ability to interpret a language that they had not learnt...but of course these were and are still extremely few.

That is why in later years, Paul was saying why bother speaking in a foreign language in public when you the speaker in many cases cant interprete and if if you dont have an intepreter of that foreign language it makes no sense. It is unnecessary drama snd does not edify anyone since it is only God that understands what you are saying. But it is still a human language wether ancient or still being spoken.

Skra pra ya dra gra ske gre gre sli trece...is not a tounge spoken by any nation.
My direct response to you is:
1. If you want me to quote Bible verses, we will be here all day long, but these are all in the Holy Bible.
2. They are all gifted by the Holy Spirit.
3. Your first description is Tongue unto Unbelievers - actual languages spoken to unbelievers in the course of evangelism or preaching. The remainder are tongues unto God, spoken in fellowship and communion with the Holy Spirit, not in a general assembly (no one, even the speaker understands it. Only God does) and finally Tongue unto believers to edify and must be interpreted.
To give you greater context, there are 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit grouped into 3:
1. Vocal Gift - tongues, interpretation of tongues and prophecy. Tongues are further split into 3 as a I mentioned above
2. Power Gift- Faith, Healing, and Miracle/Signs/Wonders
3. Revelation Gift. Word of knowledge, word of wisdom, and discerning of spirits.
These gifts are given by the Holy Spirit to believers because Jesus died and rose again.
There are indeed other gifts given by the Holy Ghost for ministry (Ministry Gifts) for those in active ministry
There also gifts given by the Holy Spirit to everyone at birth whether you are a believer or not.
God bless.

A Nigerian controversial evangelist, Funmilayo Adebayo commonly known as Mummy G.O has opined that speaking in tongues is not a heavenly language.

Funmilayo Adebayo who is the founder of Rapture Proclaimer Evangelical Church of God made this known during one of her church services.
Funmilayo Adebayo who stated that speaking in tongues is not a heavenly language gave an instance and said that speaking in tongues is like a Yoruba man speaking an Igbo language.

Grouped within the Vocal Gifts (others vocal Gifts are Prophecy and interpretation of Tongues whilst the remaining groupings are 3 Revelation Gifts, 3 Power Gifts), Speaking in tongue is one of the 9 gifts of the Spirit and is further divided into 3:
1. Tongue onto God - spoken during prayers, fellowship and communion with the Holy Spirit
2. Tongue unto the Believers - Spoken to edify the the church in an assembly and must be interpreted as indicated above
3. Tongue unto unbelievers - language known to unbelievers and spoken in evangelism or preaching.
These are all given by the Holy Spirit because Jesus died and rose again.
All of these are in the Bible.

FamilyRe: I Hit My Husband By Mistake by Rhips: 9:36pm On Dec 09, 2021
sthar:
My husband and I have not had the best relationship. The past two years has been really tough for us, we've had to struggle to make this marriage work. Although we have two kids, My husband talks down on me all the time.

He calls me an ordinary female, a useless creation and believes he owns me. He believes women should not have a freewill and are properties to their husbands. He calls himself my Alpha and omega. I sometimes wish he would hit Me rather than say all sorts to me.
Last week he started as usual. He called me names and Went on to talk about how he would teach me a lesson someday. I really don't know what came over me. I slapped him.

I s.wear it wasn't intentional, I didn't mean to hit him. I thought he would hit me back but he did not. It's been a whole week and he acts like nothing happened. He goes about playing with the kids , he greets me and makes sure we have food to eat too , but it is so unlike him.


My husband always reports to my parents. He tells them everything I do wrong and they always end up calling a meeting. But this time he's silent , he doesn't want sex too which Is so unlike him. I don't know what to do , I feel like he's planning to hurt me really big. I want to call my parents but everyone would blame me. How do I tell the world I slapped my husband?
I am not married and will come here be giving marriage advice. I dey mad?
HealthRe: The Doctors Want To Amputate My Mum's Leg. Advice Needed by Rhips: 1:01am On Nov 06, 2021
Spark2:
Hello NL.
I'm going to keep this brief.

It started three weeks ago. my mum, who was walking normal with no problem suddenly could not walk. Her left leg began paining her severely that day. My mum was all in tears... She was rushed to the hospital where it was discovered that her sugar level was on the high side. The hospital gave drugs which stabilised it, at that point my mum was very weak, couldn't eat, each time she eat she throws up and also had some pain in the leg still. After a week in the hospital, we were then referred to a teaching hospital after a test showed that creatinine in her kidney was high.

The teaching hospital tried their best and I can say my mum is now okay. Except for the left leg. She can't still walk on it, the leg feels cold to touch with a little discolouration above the foot.

Doppler test showed that blood isn't really flowing through the leg. And they said they will need to amputate the leg to prevent the infection from growing to the other parts of the body.

Please I want to know if you know anyone who had similar condition and amputation was recommended but was later healed without need for amputation.

Please share your recommendations. I need my mum now more than before in my life. We are confused on whether to allow them to go on with the amputation or seek other alternatives.

Thank you very much.

Pls note that as at now, her sugar level, creatinine and other things are normal.

CrimeRe: She Was Deceived Into Prostitution Abroad. by Rhips: 5:30pm On Nov 04, 2021
Kaynnedy:
Good afternoon House.

Someone told my sister that there was a connection for a sales rep. Job in UAE, since she's yet to get a job after her NYSC, (you know how tough Nigeria is now. But it will require her to pay some money for her visa, flight ticket and other necessary documents, but my sister told her that she currently don't have money to process any international papers.

After much discussion this lady told my sister not to worry that all documentations including flight ticket will be paid for her but on a commission fee when she arrived her destination and upon resuming work in UAE, a percentage of her salary will be remitted to them until she pays up the debt incurred.

This was two months ago precisely August. Now fast forward to yesterday 3rd November 2021, I got a WhatsApp message from my sister telling me that she was being forced into prostitution upon arriving and not the sales job as was agreed.

I told her to find a way to come back to Nigeria since she has a return ticket that will expire in 4 days time valid till 8th November 2021.

Now the issue is:
1. Her Boss, as she called her earlier took her passport upon arrival in the pretense that she may misplace it or it may get stolen.

2. Her boss insisted on her paying all the debt incurred in processing her peppers which is 125% extra on what she spent in bringing her to Dubai, which amounts to N3.5 million Naira.

Please is there a way she can return back without her international passport since she went there legally and her return ticket is still valid.

Please we need help as during this altercation since yesterday, I cannot communicate with her as her Boss has seized her phone. It's now a matter of life and death.
She should go to Nigerian Embassy IMMEDIATELY. The Embassy can issue her with Emergency Travel Certificate (ETC). She can also report the matter to the local police.
PoliticsRe: FBI Cannot Come To Nigeria To Arrest Abba Kyari — Mike Ozekhome by Rhips: 3:05pm On Aug 02, 2021
Agreed.
If Mr Kyari has committed a crime, he must be prosecuted.
That said, FBI can only request extradition where an obvious crime has been committed against the United State ie where the United States or US citizens are the victim of such crime. If not he should be handled under Nigerian law, even if Nigerian laws are faulty and weak. Nigeria is a sovereign nation. It is therefore judicial slavery and colonialism if foreign powers begin to arrest and prosecute Nigerians even if the crime is committed in USD. Does it mean that FBI will go arresting anyone anywhere in the world committing crime in USD.
We have to grow up as a nation and resist the colonial influence of foreign powers over Nigeria.
Flip the coin around - US will never release a US citizen to EFCC under any circumstance or FBI prosecute a US citizen for a crime such citizen committed in Nigeria.
Christianity EtcRe: COVID-19 And The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ by Rhips: 12:31pm On May 03, 2020
alBHAGDADI:
There's currently a notion out there which says that a COVID-19 vaccine might actually be the make of the beast otherwise known as 666. While many who hold the idea base it on speculations that the vaccine will be forced on people, some say it can't be the mark of the beast because the rapture must take place before the Antichrist shows up with his 666.

While no one is certain what the vaccine is, I just want to correct a notion among Christians which says rapture must take place before the Antichrist comes. This is a false doctrine not found in the Bible but in Hollywood movies.

Christians will be here on Earth when the Antichrist shows up and enforcing his mark. That is what Jesus Christ himself said.

The concept of rapture before the Antichrist was made popular by movies like LEFT BEHIND and some America. televangelists. Before 1800, there was no church or preacher holding such doctrine. It was started by a man named John Darby who even wrote his own Bible which lacked key verses. Today, the doctrine is held by roughly 65% of Christians. The doctrine that we will escape the tribulation is false and not Biblical.

Jesus himself spoke of when the rapture will take place. Notice how his disciples asked him to tell them what the signs of his coming will be.

Mathew 24:3
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

Now read the further

24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)
24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
24:25 Behold, I have told you before.
24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
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.
24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
24:30 And 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 coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

In verse 9, Jesus spoke of Christians getting delievered up for persecution and are killed. That is the tribulation. But false teachers have taught that the people who will face such are unbelievers who are left behind after Christians have been raptured. Well, basically we all agree that the tribulation involves persecution. But the confusion here is who are the people to face the tribulation? Some believe it is unbelievers after Christians have been raptured, while some say it is Christians who will be persecuted by the Antichrist for failing to received the mark of the beast. Let's allow the Bible settle this confusion.

First, let us see whether Christians will be raptured before the tribulation or not.

[Mathew 24:29-31
24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
24:30 And 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 coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Did you see the bold part in the passage above? Did you also see that the rapture takes place immediately after the tribulation of the end times? The events in verse 30 to 31 are the same as described by Apostle Paul in...

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

But some people have deceived many by saying that what Jesus said in Mathew 24 cannot be the rapture because he was talking to the Jews and not to Christians. Why is it not the rapture when it is the same event described by Paul? Trumpet, angels, God's people getting caught up to heaven etc.

Yes, Jesus was talking to the Jews because his disciples who asked him to tell them about the end time were still under Judaism. But if you read Mark 13 and Luke 21, you will see that it's the same thing Jesus said in Mathew 24. At the last verse of Mark 13, Jesus said what he's saying to the people whom some quarters are saying is not the church, he's saying to ALL which includes the church.

Mark 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Now, we see that the tribulation occurs before the rapture, but who carries out the tribulation and what is it exactly? The tribulation is the persecution of Christians at the end time such as never was and never will be.

Mathew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Christians will be beheaded and persecuted all around the world. This persecution will be carried out by the Antichrist engineered by Satan himself.

Mathew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)


The Abomination of Desolation is the Antichrist who exhaust himself above everything called god and forces people to worship him.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Did you read the passage above? Did you see where it spoke about the coming of our Lord Jesus? Did you see in verse 3 that the day which Jesus will come will not exists until the man of sin (Antichrist) is revealed? Read verse 4 as well.

Yet some people say Christians won't face the tribulation even when the Bible says the Antichrist who will persecute during the tribulation will come first before Jesus Christ who will come and deliver Christians from his grip. Many will mistake him for Christ.

Mathew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.



This Antichrist will wage war against the saints.

Revelations 13:4-8

13 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

As you can see above, the Antichrist exhalst himself and blasphemes God's name. Is this not the same man Paul spoke of in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4, whom he said must first come before Jesus Christ comes back?

Now as seen in verse 7 above, the Antichrist wages war against the saints and will overcome many. Why is he waging war against the saint if some people believe the saints wont be around during the tribulations? In verse 13, everyone on earth is seen worshiping the Antichrist. Those who won't worship him are those whose names are written in the book of life. This is what will anger the Antichrist and make him wage war against them with great tribulation and persecution.

Revelations 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ

What we see so far is that people with their names in the book of life won't worship the Antichrist. But I ask, what are they doing on earth? I thought some people said they would have been raptured and escaped.

The proponent of a pre-tribulation rapture doctrine have said that the people left behind will be unbelievers who will now have to pay with their blood to get saved. They are the ones the Antichrist will persecute. This is a lie. If all Christians will be raptured before the tribulation, then those left will be unbelievers who are already tools of Satan. Do you expect someone who doesn't give a damn about Jesus to stand with Jesus when a cutlass is placed on his neck? He will gladly received the mark of the beast because he's not used to suffering for Christ whom he never believed in.

In revelations 12:17, we see that Satan will make war against those who hold the testimony of Jesus Christ. How some people believe that the people that Satan will make war against are unbelievers is what baffles me. Do unbelievers hold the testimony of Jesus? No.

Basically, what we've seen so far is that the Antichrist comes first, then follows a great tribulation which involves the persecution of Christians. It is immediately after the tribulation that Jesus Christ will appear and will redeem his people through a rapture.

Don't let anyone deceive you. Prepare yourself for that day which is fast approaching.

For the unbelievers, if you happen to be alive during the Great Tribulation, you still have the chance to be saved. Just listen to the preaching of Christians which will be very widespread by then because Christians will perform more during that period.

The reason why true Christians have no fear of the tribulation and the mark of the beast is because they cannot receive the mark no matter. They have been saved by Jesus and sealed with the mark of Christ. It is those who aren't saved but called themselves Christians that are worried and praying to bail out through a false rapture doctrine.

So, if COVID-19 vaccine is the mark of the beast, I'm rest assured that it won't get to me. This may make me lose my job and so many things due to persecution, but not my love for God who has sealed me until the day of rapture when I will meet him in the sky when it is all over. Accept Jesus today by confessing your sins and relying on him. That's the only way to prevent yourself from receiving the 666 in whatever design it comes in.

Note:

As the lockdown period gets eased tomorrow, please beware of fake COVID-19 miracles from false prophets who have been looking for a way to cash in on the pandemic to safe face after discovering that their falsehood has been exposed for not seeing any vision about the coming of the virus. They are warming up, so beware.
Bro,
1. the event Paul described is the rapture (where the ONLY saints will see and meet the Lord in the cloud, with dead saints rising first). This must take place first. That’s the comfort.

2. The event that Jesus Christ described in Matthew is AFTER the rapture which ALL TRIBES will witness. That is actually the second coming of Christ for His millennial reign. In between these two events is the seven year period for the anti-christ to ravage the world and many will be saved except those that received the mark of the beast.

There should not be confusion here. There is abundant old and new scriptures that support the fact that the Master will take away His people before the anti-christ torments. It is the presence of the Saints that is keeping him and Jesus did not die for the evil one to come and torment His own.
That said, let our eyes be on Jesus and let us intimately fellowship with Him everyday. That’s the secret.
God bless you.

She fell and injured her leg last year. The injury healed but afterwards the leg started decaying now it has spread to the other leg in the same position.
The doctors at the general hospital has run series of tests including diabetes which they confirmed her blood sugar is okay.
We haven't seen anything like this before.
Please can someone help with a drug that can help.
She has been on antibiotics and other drugs ever since.
Take a bucket of warm water, Add a lot of salt in warm water, add Vinegar to it. Let her soak her leg in the warm water ensuring that the whole injury area is covered. She should do it morning and evening consistently until the whole thing is cleared.
She could embalm with rub each time.
All the best.

This man is hypocrite. He has one of the best yartch owned by an African, at least two private jets (one permanently used by Obasanjo and the other one used by him). His yartch and jets and other companies registered in Panama (not Nigeria) He stays in Dorchester at £30k a night whenever he is in London (talk about not owing a home abroad). Yet he wants launder his public image as someone that lives a simple humble life.
The biggest problem Nigerian economy and banking system have is Dangote (for years, he has built a systemic FX racket in and around CBN and the banks, evades tax like there is no tomorrow (Kemi Adeosun note).A number of banks are bleeding because of his loan portfolio. He has entrenched corruption with every government (mostly Obj government). He threatens bank CEOs who want to do business with his competitors. He pursued his competitors with security agencies using his connection in the government and security agency. Every major Dangote business opponent is on the run because EFCC or DSS is pursuing them for one frivolous allegation instituted by Dangote. Goodluck on the refinery, and let's see how he gets his crude.
Don't take my word for it, let's wait and see his legacy. A number of banks will collapse the days after Dangote exits this earth.
Time will tell!
