You know it’s really interesting, I looked back to some of the posts, and predictions from 2019 on here ( okay so I know it’s not that far back and a bit of a side track on the OP ) I was studying Luke 22 , you know the passage that is forever being conveyed within the threads.
I started out looking through the NT, after Jesus had conveyed to his disciples that they should be prepared ( the purse, bag, sword ect.
I found that a sword was only mentioned in the New Testament as something being used by others, the apostles never needed one , they never defended themselves with a sword !
Within their letters they equally never encouraged the churches to ‘ get a sword ‘ it’s never mentioned!
I searched old threads, just to find out the context of when I first heard the verse. This was before the Covid 19 outbreak. It was an eye opener to how we critique others when they speculate about what will happen, claim things ourselves, and those that are critiqued are more accurate than the things we have ourselves claimed as fact.
It made me realise that human reasoning can still get in the way, even when we are so sure. Also perhaps those we laugh at ( sovereign grace was quite close with a few things she was obsessed with )
It was a personal lesson for me over something, but it is good to look back in general as it helps in the weighing up process.
I did also look at revelation with regards to the two witnesses, please can someone tell me where Pence and Trump have relayed prophecy, well am hardly going to hear about that in the press, but it is a criteria for the two witnesses, also dressed in sackcloth !
Think that will have to be a look back at some stage in the future !
