I do recognize where you are coming from. Jesus offers us abundant life now, today, through the power of a life changing gospel. And that life is becoming more and more needful as the planet degenerates into an increasingly perplexing and evil moral wasteland.
Yet that same life changing gospel is also a prophetic gospel, an everlasting gospel, that compels people to repent today, immediately, because time is short. This life... This world... Is coming to a furiously rapid end, and this human race is on a short notice. The events that are overtaking the world are rapidly coming to a climax of ideological, political, and occult global disaster which will result in the deaths of millions and the close of human probation. Those in Christ remaining alive at Christ's soon coming will witness a resurrection of all the righteous from all ages. This coming of Christ is a cosmic event that will surpass the flood in magnitude and has been the focal point of all prophecy since creation. To claim He has already come and not to be focusing on the future is to deny scripture.
KJV Revelation 14:6-20
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
This planet came with a time stamp and a used by date.
The Sabbath marked it's beginning, the desecration and trampling of the Sabbath is marking it's end.[/QUOTE]
