To be prepared and watching. Jesus had a lot to say on the matter, even if given in parables. The preparation part can be confusing, but the letters to the 7 churches would seem to apply (from the book of the Revelation. )

Well stated, brother. You stand on firm ground, well rooted in the word. I only wish more would dust off their bibles and be taught by God. Very few grasp the blessing of such spiritual communion and fellowship.

While I don't believe in dispensations, there are certainly visible ages in biblical history and I wouldn't be inclined to " throw out the baby with the bathwater". All who believe are His and the point of these discussions is to bring us to like mindedness, to find agreement and unity in...

I finally got around to looking again at 1 Kings 7:9 and the rest of the paragraph. It's actually more beautiful than I realized. The foundation was of costly stones, large stones, some ten cubits and some eight cubits. 11 And above were costly stones, hewn to size, and cedar wood. 12 The...

6 For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. 1 Peter 4:6 Now, this verse could be understood in two different ways. 1 the "dead" could refer to the spiritually dead or: 2...

This is so awesome. 2 Peter 2:5 is part of a great cautionary teaching about false teachers, and I'm glad that despite sharing my understanding, I'm still alive after more than 2 decades of doing so. This brought to mind a passage in 1st Peter and a verse frequently the subject of argument but...

Thank you, a very good and righteous post.

While I don't believe in a pretribulation rapture anymore, because of what He's shown me in His word, I have considered these things you are saying and in a sense, heaven is turned upside down after His return and we will judge the powers and principalities, the authorities, and sometimes...

The teacher that I "sit under" is God, always has been, but I've "sat under" many pastors. In fact, I warned one that his childish teaching method and miss application of scripture would cost him and his congregation. That church, Avon Baptist, no longer exists, they closed their doors forever...

I agree, which is why we should draw our understanding from the bulk of scripture. The book of the Revelation doesn't stand alone, but has at least 65 accompanying books which should give us insight into its meaning. If I told anyone that I understood it all I'd just be another liar, but I know...

You don't actually know that, you're just assuming that. The angels don't fully understand redemption and for good reason. They have a judgment to deal with as well at Christ's return, and God is not unrighteous to hold them to different standards than men. Read about the fall of the king of...

Well, like I said, if we take a literal interpretation of scripture regarding the millennial kingdom, there won't be stars to gaze at in the night sky, possibly for a thousand years or more. I'm getting old, have health issues, and permanent soft tissue and nerve damage (never broke a bone...

I get it brother, but of all the people with sound doctrine floating around these forums, the Lord pointed you out to me and I haven't seen a single thing that you've written which I would disagree with. I've preached and taught in churches after a pastor laid hands on me and prayed with me for...

Are you able to explain doctrinal issues at a level of understanding suitable for children or perhaps teenagers to adults? I don't mean to be offensive, brother, but I do appreciate your understanding and I was once told by an older deacon after teaching an adult Sunday school class that I...

You've got a great grip on this stuff, brother. Do you see the the Lord's return as concurrent with the resurrection of the last two witnesses? I've started a study on the everlasting gospel and I'm hoping that the participants can wrestle out the full significance together. I see bits and...

I just have a woodburning stove with a glass window which helps me keep comfortable in the cold weather. I do like watching the fire sometimes, but I only split a few big pieces today and I'm whooped. The axe wasn't bad but the adz felt extra heavy today. I won't be able to do such labor much...

I only try to reinterpret scripture that isn't understood clearly and that I'm convinced has been misinterpreted. Free Masonry and carnal minded popes have done a lot of damage to sound doctrine over a long period of time. Our time is far spent and the bride really needs to get dressed. The...

Thought that was part of the tribulation, but whatever. God bless, brother. Been tweeting today because I get to have some fun with it. Probably should do a little wood splitting while the weather is dry and cool though. We've been getting plenty of rain this season.

Adios mi amigos y via con dios. I was just killing time waiting for the Lord to show us more about the everlasting gospel, but you really can't rush these things. I think I'll just find something to watch on the flat screen. It may be mostly garbage, but at least it doesn't pretend to be...

No one calls me Mike, but my x wife. My friends have always called me Pardo, or Pard, strangers usually just call me sir. I really don't care what anyone calls me, just not late for dinner. Oooh, that's old. I wonder if the Lord could use a court jester, but then again I'm not the clown I used...
