The Wilderness is a place only known to a few that follow prophesy of the Bible. We are told clearly to read what Daniel the Prophet wrote about the Abomination of Desolation that will kick off the Great Tribulation. Will you be raptured? Not according to the Bible. Jesus warned you to flee into the Wilderness where you will be safe for the time of the Great Tribulation that is to come.
He said that to Israel, not to the church, I believe.

Pd: Very first time on an american forum.

who told you to flee into the mountains or wilderness Marlon of Jesus?

who had the bible written Marlon or Jesus?

so where is the lie and who are you really calling a liar?


Those who push the idea of Rev.12 fleeing into the wilderness as literal, that's who's lying, plain and simple. It's because that fleeing into wilderness idea of Rev.12 is for spiritual protection against the 'waters as a flood' that comes out of the dragon's mouth, which of course is a metaphor for words that come out of the dragon's mouth.


tell me when Israel left Egypt did the Lord have Moses lead them in a literal wilderness or a physical wilderness?

So who's your Moses for your literal physical fleeing into the wilderness idea during the coming tribulation? Is that one also your Jesus? Won't be mine, nor for any of those in Christ Jesus, because if you'll remember, Christ Jesus does not return to gather His saints until AFTER that tribulation. So who's the one that's going to lead you into and through the wilderness physically, because it cannot be Christ Jesus, unless of course you're really preaching a Pre-trib secret rapture with that fleeing into the wilderness idea as being a physical fleeing. And even that idea would be false also.


read Rev 13 and see what the flood was?


Revelation 13


[sup]1[/sup]And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

[sup]2[/sup]And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

[sup]3[/sup]And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

[sup]4[/sup]And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? [sup]5[/sup]And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

[sup]6[/sup]And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

[sup]7[/sup]And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. [sup]8[/sup]And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

the flood was a army sent after the people fleeing into the wilderness!![/quote]


No, the waters AS A flood that comes out of the dragon's mouth is a metaphor for those blasphemies and great flaming words of deception that dragon will do, which will cause the majority of the world to fall away to worship him in place of God, just as written there. That's the war against Christ's saints to, lies of deception to trick into bowing to that dragon in place of Christ. Later in that same Rev.13 chapter we're even shown that dragon appearing with two horns like a lamb, but speaks as the dragon. It's about his disguise. And with that false working he will do miracles and great signs, raining fire down from heaven in the sight of men. That's what the war for the tribulation time will be about, deception through lies.


show me the word judahizer in the bible?

Look up the history of what the Pharisees taught and believed. Apostle Paul had to deal with Pharisee converts to Christ who were trying to twist God's Word among the Gentile believers about God's Salvation, showing they weren't really sincere in their conversion. Acts 15 is one example. Paul called them "false brethren".

That's not about Messianic Jews though, not unless some of those still adhere to tenets of Judaism (Phariseeism). Messianic Jews are Jews who believe on Christ Jesus, yet some of them still have a hard time with calling themselves Christians.


lets read something from the Lord God Jesus who was a Jew from the tribe of Judah

pay attention to WHO IS DOING THE TALKING HERE



Matthew 24
[sup]1[/sup]And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

[sup]2[/sup]And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

[sup]3[/sup]And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? [sup]4[/sup]And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

SKIP DOWN TO VERSE 15 BECAUSE THE LORD GOD JESUS THE JEW CONTINUES HIS WORDS



15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

[sup]16[/sup]Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

[sup]17[/sup]Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

[sup]18[/sup]Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

[sup]19[/sup]And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

[sup]20[/sup]But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: [sup]21[/sup]For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

SO WHAT IS YOUR POINT?


Flee into the mountains, not the desert (wilderness). And that's is ONLY for those of His servants in Judea for the tribulation in that area. That's my point. The fleeing into the wilderness (desert) idea of Rev.12 is a different subject, it's about fleeing deception, which is what comes out of the dragon's mouth (waters as a flood).

So, you think waters as a flood are going to flow in the desert (wilderness) during the tribulation too? That's what some here on that doctrine have said also, which is false too. Scripture from Isaiah was used to try and show that, when the desert blooming as rose idea from Isaiah is an event that will only occur AFTER the tribulation AFTER Christ's future return. It's linked with Christ's Milennium Temple of Ezekiel 40-48 which is AFTER the battles of Armageddon and Hamongog. Those waters in the desert is about God's River of the Waters of Life after Christ's return.

I agree . I think christians always mix up Israel and the church.
In the end times , nearly everything focuses on Israel

Welcome to the forum Bruno

Martin.

christians are Israel even the gentiles as it is written

Ephesians 2:18-20

[sup]19[/sup]Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; [sup]20[/sup]And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;


the disciples are christians as it is written these Israelites where the first christian

Jesus the Jew is the first christian


Acts 11:26
and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.

Indeed God's Israel through Christ Jesus has always been His Church.

The name Israel is the new name God gave to Jacob to represent His Plan of Salvation through Christ Jesus. It's connected with God's Promise to Abraham involving Salvation by Faith (see Galatians 3). In John 8 Christ Jesus said that Abraham saw His day, and was glad. Apostle Paul said The Gospel was preached to Abraham, and that all who have believed as Abraham have become the children of Abraham. The Promise by Faith was always first, even 430 years before the giving of the law through Moses.
