Bible prophecy.......

[Bob Wright]

Many years ago I heard a preacher, preaching on End Times things, state that nowhere in Bible prophecy could he find any evidence of the United States after the Rapture when the Church is removed from the Earth. Last night, at our revival, the evangelist made the following comments:

At the Rapture, approximately one fourth to one third of American citizens will disappear. With the National Debt being in the trillions, of dollars, those who remain, the tax source, will be unable to pare down the debt, and the American government will collapse.

Somber thought.

I wonder if that preacher found any evidence of the US before the rapture.

We are not in the bible except for the One Third of the earth destroyed after the Rapture.

Was that the Horn Blowing, nope just wishful thinking.


The United States runs on pride because out 6,028 years of World History the United State's has only been around for 417 years.

Old Scofield 1945 KJB starts at 4004 BC. add 2024 = 6,028 years

Largest contentious settlement in United State's Jamestown 1607

Subtract 1607 from 2024 = 417 years

So, yes the World can make it without US.

Was that a Horn, did you heard that.

Still, the interpretation of the Bible by a MAN!!

Not only a man, but a high school dropout. Most Babyboomers are to educated to understand the KJB because it's written on a 7.5 grade level.

Plus people like me don't interpret we just believe what we read like it was a Reloading Manual.

All religions typically serve Fear as the main course. Much like Propaganda. And then there is the, My Religion is better than yours and you are going to hell. Not to mention the rituals, superstitions, and ridiculous miracles. My Church is deep in the Forrest, where no one PREACHES. And I can even hear a soft wind. Want to see God? Get up early and watch the Sun come up.

I was born and raised in a very religious family and spent countless hours in church. I remember one summer our preacher had gotten super wrapped up in Revelation and we had continuous sermons for about 3 months on this subject, one of the most boring experiences I ever had as a early teenager. I classify myself as a spiritual person, but not religious. We will know what is gonna happen when it becomes history.

Everyone has to go with what they know.

Just like what LBJ said when he saw Dianne Feinstein last September,
" What the he** no Ice"

We are going to find out one way or another.

>>SNIP<< With the National Debt being in the trillions, of dollars, those who remain, the tax source, will be unable to pare down the debt, and the American government will collapse.

We do not need to lose 1/3 of our population, we're already unable to pay off our debt!

 

[Jeepnik]

1/3 when it was written or 1/3 at the time it occurs. Big difference.

We do not need to lose 1/3 of our population, we're already unable to pay off our debt!

If we lost a particular third, I give us better odds, but it won’t go like that…

I believe the Sun God is Ra?

Everyone talks about religion.
Nobody ever got into heaven because of their religion.
There is only one way.

The Bible is based on love, not fear. You pretend you are superior but its really just ignorance.

POLITICS and RELIGION: the ability to control men's minds and therefore their actions = SLAVES!

 

[Jayhawkhuntclub]

The young Lions of Tarshish has been interpreted to reference the countries of British descent: US, Canada, Australia...etc.

If Jesus doesn't show up soon, it will be post collapse.

Only for those that do not read and understand.

I don't know why so many people spend so much time trying to unravel Biblical prophecy. Jesus is coming back and NO ONE knows when that is going to be. So why not spend that time trying to reach the unsaved, teaching the basic truth of God's love instead of trying to decipher complicated prophecy?

The Scriptures admonish Christians to have a ready answer for our faith. Bible knowledge, history and future, provides answers to those who honestly seek such answers which will open doors for our testimony. Jesus had answers for those who sought. So should we.

I have some answers for some questions. I know the only way to eternal life in heaven is through Jesus Christ. I have some things that I believe, that I can't prove, such as the existence of animals in heaven. I don't believe God would take away those animals that brought us so much happiness in life. But I can't prove it. I know that the magnificence of being in the presence of God is something that is currently beyond my capability to grasp. I believe there are more things in the heavens and on the earth than we know about. I do know that we are to witness two others and live our lives so that others can see Christ in us. I know that we are to have faith then God works everything for his glory.
But I don't know when Jesus is coming back, I don't know the ins and outs of what's going to happen immediately prior to and immediately after the rapture, or if I will be living in that time. I don't believe God intended for us to be able to know everything. That's part of faith. It's hard for me sometimes, I struggle with it, but I have to maintain it.
Just my .02

Ok here is my soapbox. Don't care to change anyone's mind, it's just what in my head. I was raised Lutheran lots of Bible study. Ok Adam and Eve--Cain and Able. Where did the wife come from? Looks like a bunch of inbreeding to populate the earth. Same with the Flood, got to start over. Family fun. Ok Sodom & Gamora got smoked for same reason. Now for the weird part. To get into heaven you need to accept Jesus. The old testament didn't have him. Old testament is basically Semetic and they are still waiting for their Jesus. Also eliminate all other religions but the Christians. I'm going to guess and say that would take 1/3 of the world population @ rapure. Looks like Heaven is going to be no so densely populated. And all the peeps left behind?

 

[outlaw_dogboy]

Can't say I really care when Jesus comes back, because I'm convinced it won't be in my lifetime. I'm just going to have to get in the old way. If I'm incorrect, I will be overjoyed.

I do agree with someone earlier in this thread that said that we already can't pay off our national debt.

>Early on the blood lines were pure.
>If I tell you about my son it doesn't mean I dont have a daughter.
>Sodom and Gomorrah involved with more than incest.
>Yes the OT did have the Lord that they prayed to, they just didnt call him Jesus. Psalms and Isaiah are good examples.

Romans Chapter 1.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For 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:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
