Yes, and that means it's not going to happen, doesn't it? Xi could strong people there to amend their constitution; and I say thank goodness, we're not China.

China Moves to Let Xi Stay in Power by Abolishing Term Limit

China’s Communist Party has cleared the way for President Xi Jinping to stay in power indefinitely, by announcing Sunday that it intends to abolish term limits on the presidency, a momentous break with decades-old rules meant to prevent the country from returning to the days when Mao was shown cultish obedience.

Since then, Xi has gotten even more dictatorial than he was before.

lol, well at least Trump has support here at home for this: "Chinese President Xi Jinping recently consolidated power. Trump told the gathering: “He’s now president for life. President for life. And he’s great.” Trump added, “I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll give that a shot someday.”"

Trump says maybe U.S. will have a president for life someday

On revival. But that does not change what has already been written. Soon, The Lord will shake this world, including The United States. We have already been given a delay. From Mercy it has been given. This is so that more can be gathered. But even delays can not change what is coming in the wind. What did He say, "All these things must come to pass" And then the end will come. The storms we talked about before, are only the beginning. Do not be surprised if more dreams come, for they are a call to prayer. And if a decree comes, will not a watchman sound an alarm?

I wish the revival was a dream. (Edit. I say that, because I do believe some of my dreams are God talking to me). It was more of a joy inside my spirit and learning about spiritual gifts though with this one. I am unsure now. It was random... But you believe a revival is coming to the United States????Has God put something on your heart also? Id really like to believe that one.

But a call to prayer...I need to pray more specifically for sure. And you are right. I learned about watchmen at church...I didn't know about them before. I remember Hidden mentioning about it.

As far as God Christianizing Europe, it is generally the European nations that have become so hardened to Christianity. I heard some missionaries call Austria the graveyard for missionaries because of the hardness of people's hearts there. And think about the horrors that have come out of Germany--two world wars and the millions brutally murdered there. Many who died in concentration camps were Christians (not that the murder of non-Christians was okay). And then there are the tens of millions murdered in Russia under Stalin's Communist regime. Do you not see these evils as evidence of a curse of some kind?

The fact is that evils have sprung from every nation and people group on this earth. With all of this in mind, I hope and pray that you will reconsider your theology.

I don't mind reconsidering my theology, but you seem to disregard (Acts 16:6-10), that God directed Paul to Europe instead of other places. Of course others went other places but Paul was sent to Europe. As a result, Europe became Christian from king to peasant. And the European culture was affected completly by Christianity. And even though today they are on the whole turning away from Christ, they cannot remove it's affects upon them as a people.

Yes, terrible wars have been fought in Europe. And before WW1 and WW2 there were many religious wars fought in Europe. And before that the Christian Crusades, which was war against islam, came from Europe. Why? Because Europe was so thoroughly Christian. And you still have a future world leader, the anti-christ, who will come out of Europe also and do terrible damage to many. But none of this takes away from the fact that it is Europe especially that formed the base, people wise, for the Christian Church. Which was the result of God sending Paul. Which was the result of the promise to Japheth, that he would dwell in the tents of Shem and enlarge him. (Gen. 9:20-27)

You seem to think I am saying other people from other races who are Christians arn't good Christians. I am not saying that at all. There are many good Christians and churches in Africa. But Africa is not Christian. Where do most Christian missionaries come from? Answer: from the white European nations which have been affected by Christianity. That includes the U.S., for now anyway.

So, just because one is born white doesn't mean he is a Christian. He must still come to Christ. But it does mean he is born into a race that has been blessed by God, a blessing that has not ever been rescinded. It means his people are those who were favored with Christianity and so he has the history of Christianity as his history. This makes revival possible.

Not very likely in view of the fact that more and more evangelical and fundamental churches are turning to false teachings and practices.

Well, at least you're not mocking God's word like some people I've seen on CB this weekend. I'll give you that much.

However, it looks to me that based on a few scriptures, you've taken the ball and run with it on this "race" thing. Problem is you're running down the field the WRONG direction, IMHO!

How many white-skinned people do you think have taken the wide road to hell? Isn't this the bottom line? Where we all end up for eternity? What would Jesus say about all of this after suffering immeasurably so that WHOSOEVER believes in Him could be saved? Isn't every tribe and tongue and nation represented in heaven?

Revelation 5:9--And they sang a new song: You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were slaughtered, and You redeemed people for God by Your blood from every tribe and language and people and nation.

This is a very pessimistic view. I'm sure you've heard of the Great Awakenings. I've read accounts that morals were pretty low in America prior to these awakenings. God brought revival to whole communities that had fallen into every kind of sin.

A coming revival has been prophesied. Like all prophecies, the proof will be in the pudding. But I hope and pray that God will visit this nation one last time in these last days with a Holy Spirit revival so that many hearts will be turned toward our Lord Jesus and souls snatched from the jaws of hell.

There are times I wonder about the British constitution. They say there is one; but who knows what it is? Does it even exist or do people make it up as they go?
I have never heard about a constitution over here, but maybe it was established way back in our history - probably when the countries rule moved on from Royalty to government - not sure when that was as I hated history at school- if one was established I very much doubt it remained as it was !

I heard people on the BBC trying to explain the mystery of the British constitution. It is called a "constitutional monarchy," so you'd think there is a constitution. They say there is one, but it's not written down. Sounds like some kind of con game to me. I say, "Show me." The con man says, "I can't show you because it's not there." I say, "Why should I believe you then?'' He says, "Trust me, I know what it says." I'm beginning to feel sorry for the EU trying to make a deal with the current British government.

I don't know how much news you're following; but Boris "prorogued" Parliament, opponents take him to the Supreme Court and he's told what he did was against the law. That would mean the Queen also made a mistake taking his advice to "prorogue" Parliament. He says the Supreme Court was wrong to rule on it.

Maybe they can settle things by having a food fight in Parliament. Something we could all see.

I love Revelation 5:9 since it demonstrates how God is Love and how His Love extends to everyone. That is surely the right idea to have about God.

A coming revival has been prophesied.
That would be AFTER the Second Coming of Christ. What has been prophesied for our times is the exact opposite: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils (1 Tim 4:1)

2 TIMOTHY 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

One doesn't negate the other. Of course, there IS a falling away, and I believe that we WILL see revival before Jesus returns.

Lol- that would be hilarious - might lighten the mood !
Yes the ' ongoing ' parliament issues, I actually thought it was ruled that he was within the law - but I know they were taking it to court again - its now count down to the 31st - so the fighting will continue!!

Boris does know how to throw things. Did you hear about the china being thrown at his house? He and his girlfriend were having a drunken screaming match. China was also being broken. Yes, have a food fight -- and give them all booze to keep up their spirits.

I was talking about Parliament being called back. Maybe there were other issues as well.

What I don't understand about him trying to Parliament out of town was that there are lots of other problems they should be talking about. Why can't Parliament ignore Brexit momentarily and work on other things? Johnson's government could gain support by dealing with other things. It's as if he's putting all his eggs in one basket.

I think it fairly safe to predict a new leader will emerge in the Conservative Party. Of course, the Labour Party could get some sense too and replace Corbyn as their leader. He's way too far out there for most British voters, I think.

Blessings in Christ Jesus! Yes there have been delays. Even the current president is a delay. He is not a trumpet as some suppose. What is coming in the wind will be cut short, as it is written.

Yes, you must expect some serious problems with many views of the Bible on Christian forums. I have come to expect it, which is why I always advise a new believer to stay clear of forums. Not all are Christian who claim to be on Christian forums.

I just gave a few Scriptures, but I did not build a whole theology on just those. They are very powerful ones in supporting what I have said though.

The prophecies in (Genesis) concerning Shem, Ham, and Japheth, affect all of the human race. They do not distinguish all who are going to be saved in the human race. Just like the Jews, Israel, are God's chosen people. Correct? Yet not all Jews are saved. Many Jews are not saved. But that race of people have been appointed by God to be His earthly people, and from whom salvation would come.

So it is with the descendants of Japheth, the white people. Not all of them are saved. Many are not saved. But they as a race have been appointed by God, blessed by God, to dwell in the tents of the Jews, Shem, and to be enlarged over the earth. Thus the salvation that is given to Israel is enjoyed especially by the white race, due to the promises to Japheth.

Yes, salvation is to, and received by people of every nation and race and tongue on earth. That doesn't change the fact that the Jews are God's chosen earthly people. It doesn't change the fact that white people enjoy the blessings of the Jews. It doesn't change the fact that the blacks are of the cursed race of Ham.

Even though most Jews today don't believe, God's promise to Shem is true. Even though many if not most white people don't believe, God's promise to Japheth is true. Even though some Africans believe, God's curse is true.

Well Boris first had to close parliament , and had to ask the queens permission , then it went to court because many felt he had acted unlawfully, so that's where the problems started ....
I am not sure he can just put Brexit on hold now, it's too near the deadline - and I think the damage has already been done with regards to ' gaining support ' -The only advantage the Conservative party have is that many people don't like Corbyn , so neither party would look good going into a general election( which most people think will happen soon ).
Yes, the incident with his girlfriend was some time ago now, but the press had a field day with it- and I suspect the neighbour made quite a bit of money from relaying things to the press!!

This is a fantastic idea, but why limit it to the U.K.? Let's get a food fight 'battle royale' at the U.N. We could have all the past big war members near each other so they immediately hit each other before moving onto other countries. U.S. and England could redo the Revolutionary War, with a touch of Spain and France. Then, even go with older wars and empire takeovers, such as Egypt and Greece.

There's something here I think. We'd have to come up with a catchy name for it...
