    The "Day of Redemption"

    Perhaps you have heard of a coming day of the Lord's redemption. Perhaps you have even heard that it has past. Neither of those is actually true. Perhaps you have also heard that this is the New Heavens and New Earth, that the Day of Redemption came and went, and we are now living in what was...

    Short point: It was God that sent Jesus; but it was Wisdom that prepared Him (which way do you want to go?)

    Hi there! So a short point: it was God that sent Jesus; but it was Wisdom that prepared Him (selah) We need to think about how much time we have and what we are going to devote it to - too much honeycomb makes you sick (as Solomon said), but is the honeycomb a relationship to God or a...

    Vision Of The New York City Skyline.

    Vision of New York City Skyline. I was out back spending time with the Lord when I saw a vision of the New York skyline. The word “Manhattan” appeared. Then the word “time,” and after that, the word “Miameted”? Then came the word of the Lord, saying, “Grace, grace to it.” (Zechariah 4:7)...

    Understanding TIME vs. ETERNITY

    We are born into a world--this world of time, and because of it time is the rule we come to live by. Rightly so. However, that is not the reality that defines our God, and as it turns out time is simply a teaching tool. Just as we have increments and years of school, time is God's way of...

    The Reckoning of Time

    I believe man's domain on earth will be approximately seven thousand years. I have often wondered where the reckoning of man's time on earth begins. 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep...

    What are people at the end of time like? (you?)

    Hi there, So Jesus talks about "men's hearts failing them, for fear of the things to come" (Gospels, from memory). I hazard that this can be interpreted a step further: at the end of time, men will have lots of problems. By problems I mean mental instability, ill health, doubts...

    Sometimes God doesn't remove a doubt, because it isn't the right time to remove it (still?)

    Hi there, So a little help for my brothers and sisters in Christ, who are all struggling (bar the foolishmost). God doesn't always remove doubt. I have been in the faith and away (from the faith) and been back again (even back to the end), and I can attest that this is true. My past sins are...

    One of the best things I ever learned, was to be still - pray that my brothers and sisters in Christ develop this fruit as well (please?)

    Hi there, So I have meditated consistently for a couple of decades now and I have never looked back. Jesus said "by your patience possess your souls" (Gospels, from memory). I think we should take that seriously! "He who loves Me, keeps My words" (Gospels, from memory). The thing to note, is...

    We've got this! We should start praying "Thankyou Father, that Your Son's Gospel has gone out to *all* the nations of the world - we say by faith!"

    Hi there, So yes, this just occurred to me now: we should be praying "Thankyou Father, that Your Son's Gospel has gone out to all the nations of the Earth - we say by faith in His Name". By doing this, we enter into the labor that is required and fix our sight on the goal - this will make us...

    Previous generations, have been summarized by us - we *also* will be summarized, by generations that come after us! (looking?)

    Hi there, So Solomon says at length "as it was, so shall it be" (in Ecclesiastes) and Christ Himself says "this generation shall not pass away, until all these things are fulfilled" (gospels, from memory) - what is it, that happens from generation to generation, if we both come to be and...

    God is quick, but can He do something, for a long time? (patient?)

    Hi there, So this is a simple thought experiment: God can be quick, but can He do something for a long time? Now, there is quickening in the Holy Spirit, that's true. You can suddenly find you have an ability to do something well, when previously you found it difficult. However, that...

    God shortens the Days, but He prolongs the Moment (need time?)

    Hi there, So this is actually a very simple thing, that is reflected in John 1:1. John 1:1 says "in the beginning was the word, and the word was God and the word was with God". What's happening here, from God's perspective? What is happening is that time is slowing down: the word is introduced...

    The persecution of the poor is universal, don't just get rich, get generous! (for God's love?)

    Hi there, So I will just declare it straight out, in my nation, I am considered poor. Now what that means, in my nation, is not that I don't have luxury, but that I don't have the same type of luxury as others. I know, crazy, right? The thing is, I have been facing this issue (of being poor)...

    Jesus said "Father, that they may be one, as We are" - is Jesus saying 'I am a paradox just as My Father is, which you can be part of'? (suggestions?)

    Hi there, So I have really been perplexed by what Jesus was saying in John 17, when He prays for the faith, saying "Father protect them through your Name, those that you have given Me, that they may be one, as We are". I guess the question I am asking is "that they may be one what?, as We are...

    The World will discover, that the mark was already taken - Jesus revealed the mark on the cross, but did not boast (reminisce with me)

    Hello there! So, there is a simple fact, at the heart of the tribulation: the mark the anti-Christ tries to take, is the mark that was already crucified, by the Lord Jesus. The anti-Christ is the man of sin, but the mark of sin, was already taken by the Lord. This causes the anti-Christ to...

    The Bible says "in everything, get Wisdom"; what 'Wisdom' do I need for growing old? Rush less? Eat less?

    Hi there! So the Bible isn't so much for 'old age', it talks more about the young not growing weary and the elderly having dreams - which granted is important, but I would like something that gives context to the importance of old age in general. "The child reaching a hundred shall be blessed"...

    The world is trapped in its iniquity, not willing to accept that the Lord was bruised for them (selah)

    Hi there! So there is a strong need, at the moment, for the world to hear the bruising, that the Lord suffered, for their iniquity. Iniquity traps the world, such that it does not think there is a way out. There is a way out: Jesus, who was bruised for our iniquities (Isaiah 53:5). What we...

    The tribulation is overcome, when Christian conduct yields to God (foreshortening the days). Discuss.

    Hi there, EDIT: SUMMARY, The three gifts of the Holy Spirit on Earth - hardiness, character, patience - come from trust, prayer, waiting. These three things deliver from tribulation on Earth. So caveat: I am not sure this is in the right forum. What I want to discuss, is how we approach the...

    Time occurs, in the space provided for God's Spirit - no space provided for God's Spirit, no time (discuss).

    Hi there, So I guess it behoves me to set out why it is that refusing to give God's Spirit space, is not wrong. Refusing to give God's Spirit space, is not wrong: if you all the work of the Holy Spirit to be finished. The point is, if you haven't given God's Spirit space, you should wait until...

    The dolphin sleeps with half its brain, at a time. Q: What is it thinking is Evolution, when its been asleep two different ways? (Discuss.)

    Hi there, So yes I got an absolute pearler of a question, for you: I mean there has to be a focus, right? If all a dolphin is is 'evolved', then its evolution is going to vary depending on which half has been asleep, in which way? There is no denying this makes sense, dolphins have a brain as...
