LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

[shepherdsword]

Continuing...

The much discussed future millennium is real, and as many know, it begins with the second coming. But it doesn't consist of what you think. After the tribulation and the second coming, the entire planet will be uninhabitable.



“19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. 20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment. 21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? 22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. 23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. 24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. 25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. 26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. 27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. 28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it. 29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein. ”

Now, some will say, that's only for Israel. If so, why are you so fixated to go there? Isn't God the defender of Israel? Yet here we have God promising a reckoning. But it isn't only Israel....



“15 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. 16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. 17 Then took I the cup at the LORD'S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me: 18 To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day; 19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people; 20 And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod, 21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon, 22 And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea, 23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners, 24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert, 25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes, 26 And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them. 27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you. 28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink. 29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts. 30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. 31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD. 32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. 33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground. ”

And just so you know, the new heavens and the new earth will be populated. As Jesus promised, the meek will inherit the earth. The question is, when? At the second coming? No. At the beginning of the millennium? No. But at the end of the millennium, after the resurrection of the all the sinners of humanity that they may face their judgement, and the execution of their sentence... The second death. The millennium is bookended by two resurrections. The first, the resurrection of the righteous which takes place at Christ's soon coming.







“51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. ”

However, the second resurrection doesn't take place until the 1000 years are finished. The first resurrection are for the righteous, which takes place at the second coming. The second resurrection is for the wicked, when the New Jerusalem descends from heaven along with the righteous saints with Jesus Himself at their head, at the end of the 1000 years.





“4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. ”

Where were they throughout that 1000 years? They were rotting piles of dust littered upon the ground, from one end of the earth to the other. They weren't gathered, buried, or lamented.

It's not Sunday worship you should fear...but the false prophecies and errant scripture interpretations of Ellen White.

Where in any of this current conversation have I quoted Ellen White? And why should I fear Sunday worship,? I worship every Sunday. Nothing wrong with that. Why do you fear keeping holy the Lord's Sabbath?

Vomited right out of the deceived mind of Ellen G White. She is a proven false prophet and her interpretations of scripture are in serious error.

Where in any of this current conversation have I quoted Ellen White?

The Unfeigned Bible is a Bible study app (based on the KJV) that incorporates Ellen G. White’s commentary (“EGW Comments”) as one of its features.

And why should I fear Sunday worship,? I worship every Sunday. Nothing wrong with that. Why do you fear keeping holy the Lord's Sabbath?

I don't fear keeping the sabbath. I fear those who mandate it legalistically as something that is required for salvation.(when the mark of the beast comes)

And will you be at the front of the queue to condemn Sabbath keepers when the Sunday laws are established?

 

[shepherdsword]

And will you be at the front of the queue to condemn Sabbath keepers when the Sunday laws are established?

You misunderstand. I do not condemn those who keep Saturday as the Sabbath. I only condemn making it into the mark of the beast and failing to understand what the true rest is.

I live by this:

Ro 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

and this:

Col 2:16-17 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

 

[David in NJ]

Because John 3:16 doesn’t say unless they take the mark.

Do you believe John 3:16 are the words of God/Christ/Holy Spirit ???

As I said above, only the beast itself can define its own mark. Today within Christendom, outside of the SDA church, there exists not a clue as to the identity of the beast, therefore absolutely no idea as to what it's mark is. What we do have is a heck of a lot guesswork and an endless list of theories and opinions, none of which agree with one another, much less scripture.
Adventists are merely following that which was unanimously held by all the true Protestant reformers before them. Today, the descendants of those reformers have abandoned their posts as defenders of the faith and watchmen on the walls of the church, and have allowed the true Antichrist to run free of criticism, while aiming their barbs at the only institution that is telling the truth.
You criticise us and attempt to shame us in having a prophet, a prophet whose works you haven't read, and writings you fail to understand. You don't have to believe a word she says, that's fine. But we do. And suffer none for its insight and inspiration. Your loss, not ours.
And after all that, you are still none the wiser in your understanding of the beast and it's mark. The irony is, the leaders in the Catholic church understand only too well what we teach, and know we speak the truth. Your decision, your choice, as to what side will you choose? There's only two in the end, only two women, two churches. Those who have the mark of the beast, those who have the seal of God. There's no one who can stand in the middle. Truth or counterfeit.

 

[Taken]

LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

* Hear the Reports, millions are unaccounted for.
* Recognize you were left / remain accounted for.
* Be CAUTIOUS about Believing the “Following Speculative Media Reports and Suggestions”.
* Trust Reporting of Millions Dying, in what is Secularly called “Natural Disasters”.
* TRUST God, The Lord, KILLS Human Life Against Him; WITH the Earth…( the weather God Controls.)
The (“mimicking) Devil, KILLS human Life, WITH “his unholy fallen powerful angels”, instigating through deceit, men Against men.

* Options for any human ON Earth (left behind)…
* * Yoke With or Reject The Devil.
(Fight Against men). Celebrate the Battle Deaths of Other men.
OR
* * Yoke WITH God, Submit your Belief unto Him, Despite threat of your your Own Bodily Life to BE Killed For Standing for your Belief IN God and Willingly Surrendering your Bodily Life UNTO God, For your Belief.

The Offering of Salvation of ones SOUL, continues THROUGH the … the Great Tribulation Days sent down from Heaven…
* Of the 7 Seals Judgements Days…
* Of the 7 Trumps Judgements Days…

And IF one has Not Become MADE Soul Saved during THOSE Days…? OOPS…
Two Situational / Options Remain…
* Human NON-Believers Killed never having Received Soul Salvation.
* Human “Believers” ( but not having been Killed OR having NOT otherwise “given / surrendered their Life unto God”…AND thus Not “Soul Saved”… remain Naturally Alive, Believe, Repopulate the Earth….( for a generational span of 1,000 years )…

Generationally, naturally born offsprings, naturally dying, without the presence of Fallen Angels to influence them)… likelihood of continued generational Belief, and Natural “rebellion of Offspring against Parents”….
**Making “Ripe” the Willingness for generational offsprings to Become Ear-Tickled… WHEN Satan’s Presence IS AGAIN Allowed Back ON Earth (as the 1,000 years comes to a close).

It IS The LAST fraction… FOR Remaining Humans, To be fully Accountable For their OWN Beliefs…WITHOUT BLAMING Satan “for tricking them with lies and deceit”…
(IOW… the clinch’ “the Devil made me do it”… IS put to Bed… Each humans Fate Rests on their OWN Choices AND the Consequence FOR their Choices.

Glory to God,
Taken

Who are you to question God's judgments that He defines in scripture?
If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. Rev. 14:9-10


“I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” Rom. 9-15

I Disagree With Your Claims, A Pre-Trib Rapture Isn't Found In Scripture, Your Can't Present One Verse In The Bible To Prove Otherwise

But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Matt. 24:37-39

Those people heard Noah preach, saw him build the Ark and laughed, did not believe. Their normal everyday activities were taking place, uninterrupted. There wasn't any Tribulation other than the evils they themselves caused.
Would you get married right after an 8.0 earthquake hit your town. Would you be undisturbed. Imagine you loved in NY when 9/11 happened. You're on your way to a family breakfast and you see the planes crash into the towers. Would you just take a quick glance, think, "AH too bad ... oh well I must be getting along to my family beakfast", continue on as if that was more important?
When Jesus comes, people will be surprised, He will come like a thief on the night (to unbelievers who are in the dark) as the Flood cane. If anyone back then suspected danger they would have entered into the Ark and been welcomed. But once Noah closed the door, it was too late.

 

[MatthewG]

Those people in Jesus day heard and seen Jesus but killed him.


They were doing the same thing as the people in Noahs age. They were faithless.



People just hate this world I think is what it boils down to.

 

[Ronald David Bruno]

Could it be because you spat out my words you now are unaware of what constitutes healthy food.....as well as being unaware of what constitutes popular theology?
However, seeing you think you know, perhaps you could tell me what you think my primary thrust is?

Just think that "walk about" will do you good ... just stay away from the Never-Never.

 

[Ronald David Bruno]

You missed the point what is Gods character? Does He contradict Himself?

Read the scriptures I just gave you. You seem to want to discard them and create some hypothetical merciful situation. God is a God of forgiveness and mercy but He is also a God of justice and telling you his boundaries. You cross this line ( take the mark of the Beast) and it's over for you. Capisce? You sound like Democrat - out of touch, living in an alternative universe.

The world in Noah's day was in the greatest tribulation the world had ever seen.

The moment a person begins a bible study based on a proven lie such as pre-trib rapture, you will follow that lie and add more to it.

The same dilemma that the pharisees and sadduccees were blinded with.
