Christian prophecy for the church and for the nations from a servant of God called to speak God’s word

These are the Days of Noah - the end of the world is coming!

God told me that, ‘These are (as) the days of Noah.’

A day or so before this, I also saw a vision of God’s hand stopping winding up a clock. Time is running out. Soon that clock will stop ticking.

In the time before the Great Flood, there was no indication to ‘normal’ people that devastation was immanently coming upon them. The sun shone, the birds sang, flowers bloomed, people made plans for business trips and for engagements and marriages, foundations for houses were dug, kings made pacts, apprenticeships and new jobs were started, investments were made, babies were conceived and born - all seemed well with the world and people said ‘peace and safety’ and congratulated themselves.

The people saw the ‘religious nut’, Noah, build this huge ark. It took Noah many years (some Biblical scholars think 70 years or more), so possibly several generations of the same family laughed at him as he built and built and carried on building this massive construction. The Apostle Peter in his epistle calls Noah a ‘preacher of righteousness’ so we can be sure that Noah spoke while he did and warned them God’s wrath was coming and to live godly loves to save themselves. The people watched him go running about searching the country for animals of all kinds to fill the ark, and the people laughed at him.

‘Crazy fool, all is well with the world,’ the people said. ‘Noah’s been saying the same thing for years! No flood has come yet!’ They then watched on as Noah and his family and the animals enter the ark in beaming sunshine. The crowd waited around for a day or two and no rain came. The crowd of onlookers munching on their popcorn or whatever they had in those days and then soon gave up watching and then went back to their work/lives chuckling to themselves. Freak show over. Perhaps even Noah’s in-laws on board the ark got a bit worried and felt a bit silly as it stayed dry - what if they were wrong? Their friends and work colleagues would laugh at them and they’d never live it down. But seven days later, the Bible says, the rains came.

Nobody on earth apart from Noah and his family knew what was coming, because the people did not fear God and they did not listen to God or his servant, Noah. They did not care what God had to say anyway. They paid their idols lip service and carried on their wicked ways trusting in themselves and their own abilities and their own idols. They were complacent as life had gone on like this for generations and nothing really bad had happened over the norm. Of course if they had known for sure what was coming they would have cried out to God - anyone - for help. Mothers would have desparately thrown their toddlers into Noah’s arms as the rains came, men would have clung onto the timberframework - anything - as drowning men do - kings would have offered riches to get a portside booth, and families would have frantically built their own arks. They would have done something. But they did not believe Noah or God that such catastrophe was coming as they had no faith, as they did not know God or His ways. The ark - the sign of impending doom - was there before them and they were blind to it. Even the Nephilim who were half fallen-angel and half-human, who should have had, perhaps, more spiritual discernment than mere humans and known something was coming did not get an inkling of forthcoming catastrophe. The ark - the sign of deliverance from this doom - was before them, but they did not even ask to come on board. The ark is a symbol of Jesus Christ and his salvation. Make sure you have jumped aboard before it is too late and the End swiftly comes in this generation!

‘As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man, They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.’ (Luke 17:26-27).

While people are saying “peace and safety” and feel secure, God’s judgment will strike. And so with this generation.

‘For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.’ (I Thessalonians 5.3)

The image of a woman in childbirth is given in this passage, with the idea of the sudden painful contractions coming upon a woman as she goes into labour. Birth pangs are specifically given as signs of the End Times in several other places in the Bible such as in Matthew 24:8-9 “But all these things (famine and earthquakes) are merely the beginning of birth pangs..’ (for the end times).

I have wondered how in the Book of Revelation while all these terrible judgments are being poured out on the Earth, and how all these horrible things are happening, how the people did not ‘click’ something serious was up. John says repeatedly in Revelation ‘and still the people did not repent’. God underlines the fact that he would hold back His hand if the people called out to Him and repented, but in general they will not.

One often hears the rather gruesome analogy of the frog being cooked alive in boiling water. He goes into the pot when the water is cooler and Ok and he is very happy to be there, but as the water is gradually heated up he does not notice the rising temperature around him. Therefore it can get deadly hot for him and he will not realise it, he will stay in the pot quite happily, and he will cook alive completely unawares.

And so in these days. The world is heating up with increasing wickedness but we become so used to it we all become de-sensitised to some degree - some more than others. Some popstars flaunt their bodies wearing practically nothing in raunchy videos only a few degrees from porn videos and young children copy them and dress like them thinking it ok. Pornography is shown on more and more ‘normal’ channels at earlier and earlier times. Teenage girls walk around with their breasts practically popping out of their tops and their g-strings deliberately showing and they think it is perfectly OK. Some women have multiple abortions and do not even blink about it. Transexuals flaunt their new bodies, demanding the rights of their new gender and their word and quasi-science is taken as gospel over the truth. Few dare stand up against them to say ‘It is wrong!’ Vicars bless homosexual marriages and many are openly gay themselves and do not see the contradiction. So-called ‘Christian’ countries crush the weak under burdening debt. A prostitute goes into the UK Big Brother house proud about her job working in massage parlours and on phone sex lines, and some of the other housemates say ‘cool’ and clap their hands in delight (they are not just being polite). There is a general eroding of moral standards so black does become white and white becomes black. The world does not think it is wicked so therefore does not repent as it thinks it has nothing to repent of. Be yourself! Be proud of it. Morals become subjective for anyone to decide.

The message of repentance has been lost in large sectors of the 21st century church so it will speak of ‘giving your heart to Jesus’ but few will say ‘repent!’ That is not just to ask forgiveness for past sins but to turn away from sin and from now on aim to live a righteous life. The church needs to preach what righteousness truly is as many honestly do not know. A prominent sector of the church has become sidetracked with power, anointing and spiritual gifts and a counterfeit type of holiness coming through anointing rather than repentance and righteousness. Spiritual gifts and ‘anointing’ and signs and wonders do not necessarily mark a righteous life: look at the Corinthian church where men were even having sex with their mothers.

I do not think it a coincidence that the message of God’s wrath, hell and judgment and true repentance has become eroded and almost vanished in this generation, and the voices of true evangelists have been silenced by false doctrine that urges us to speak of God’s love and flowers and roses and lambs and bunnies rather than the other side which is, God’s judgment is coming, flee from the wrath to come! It is all part of the Last Days.

Noah was a preacher of righteousness - a lone voice. If the church does not preach repentance leading to righteousness, and does not speak for what righteousness truly is, and is not, then the world goes its way even more blind to its faults. The church has become conformed to the world rather than the other way around. It seeks to be as politically correct as possible so as to offend no-one. This eroding of the true message of repentance makes room for the scenario of the Last Days and helps us understand why the people in the Book of Revelation did not repent. They did not know what repentance was. They thought they were morally Ok. They thought the world was ok.

So we can understand why they did not repent. Why did they not cry out to God? How can the people written about in the Book of Revelation think the world was ok with all these disasters happening around them etc?

Probably because they have become used to it and it has become their norm. Regularly we see images of disasters and wars and famines and killing and violence and other evil - whether on the television news or in the cinema - and we soon become desensetised by it - we get fatigued by it. When the images came out of the famine in Africa in the 1980s, it moved many to respond - notably Bob Geldorf through Live Aid. It hit people deep. It moved them. 20 odd years later, I do not think these images would have the same impact. More famine, oh no, not another one. Another earthquake? Another war in the Middle East? Another Tsunami? If it does not directly affect us or our loved ones it is hard to really care that much any more. We become fatigued by it. We - even Christians - become used to it all and start to accept it as ‘normal’ when of course it is not.

And then God’s judgments on the earth as they increase will be readily explained by science. It will be labelled global warming, acid rain, chemical warfare, nuclear reactions, over-population or whatever. People will know what these things are but they will not know why or that there is an ‘out’ to them. Hear this, O Earth, if you call out to the Lord your God and repent of your wicked ways, He will save you from the devastating effects of global warming. The answer to global warming is before you. It is not too late. The creator of Heaven and Earth longs to Hold his hand back from destroying the Earth and pouring out His wrath on mankind. Just give him that opportunity.

So an eroding of morals and right and wrong, a lack of a true repentance message, and a fatigue to natural disasters - that is how and why I think the people do not cry out for repentance. That along, of course, with the false prophets and the counterfeit signs and wonders affirming the antichrist and the persecution of the saints. Be sure of this - the non Christian world will not realise the significance of 666 when they take that mark on their hand or forehead. The beast of Revelation will not come with a pitchfork and a devil costume. It will seem all sweetness and light to many, they will be lulled into a deeper sense of false security by the conman.

I can understand many in the church falling away under fire as they did not have the gumption to be martyrs or be persecuted and there is such a spirit of compromise in the church now anyway - and it will be tough times indeed for God’s saints in the days to come. Truth has not been preached so much, so many Christians will not realise thay are compromising anyway or falling away as they have not known the real truth.

I think also the pre-tribbers or even mid-tribbers will be in for a big shock, those hoping to be raptured away out of the tough time. ‘I’m alright, Jack, take the ladder away.’ The Bible says very clearly the saints will suffer in the Last Days. It repeats this numerous times so we are to be in no doubt.

False prophets are saying today that there will be revival and miracles and blessings everywhere. False prophet, Kim Clement, prophecies riches for the United States and glory, when in fact it is in for a economic crash and a shaking. Here is another heretical Latter Rain inspired erroneous false prophecy:

‘”The reign of Jezebel in My Church is now over. My Bride will become the Glorious Bride, and no force on earth can stop it. The high places will be destroyed, and the rain will return. The temple will be repaired, and My Glory will fill it. You will see all of this occur, in your lifetime. He who has ears to hear, let Him hear. Just as the Flood was sent in judgement in the beginning of human history, a Flood is coming of God’s mercy and grace at the end of human history. This flood of His Spirit will fill his Body as His Body fills herself with the Word. There will be cases where two or three walk into a hospital and everyone in it is healed. The city of Denver will be saved in a day and become a revival center. The city of Austin will become a revival center. The city of Boston will become a revival center. The entire United States will be shaken by the power of God.’

This contadicts the Bible! The Bible says that God’s wrath will be released at the End of History, not floods of blessing as falsely claimed above. Yes there will be an end time harvest of souls but NOT like this. The USA will be shaken by God but not like this. Many in today’s church are expecting to become these glorious Christian supermen, and the church to be invincible and are looking for these amazing revivals. They will be sorely disappointed. They are looking for the wrong things. No wonder so many will fall. No wonder!

Jezebel is only just warming up!

>My Bride will become the Glorious Bride, and no force on earth can stop it.

Apart from notably, perhaps, the Antichrist in the Last Days who is given power to make war upon the saints and to prevail against them. These martyrs, however, overcome even beheading and death by the words of their testimony and the blood of the lamb.

Glory to God through the church, yes. A glorious Bride. Oh yes. But the church’s invincibility against man or the Antichrist in the Last Days, no. Hear this: Whatever is invincible in those days will be of the antichrist.

Peace, peace when there is no peace! Whitewash and hogwash. False prophets.

These false prophets and teachers, rather than preparing the saints for tribulation, are preparing them for ‘floods of blessing’. No wonder so many will fall. No wonder! Oh God!

Church, prepare yourselves and hear what is to come! Strengthen yourselves, bind up the broken and the fragile and vulnerable and make them strong now, or they will be surely swept away in the coming days.

‘Some say it really doesn’t matter if Jesus is coming before or after the tribulation, as long as we are “ready.” They think we should all just agree to disagree, and love one another. But, “ready” is a relative term! It begs the question, “ready for what?” There is a huge difference between being ready to be gently whisked away to heaven on a pillow, and being ready to become a martyr at the hands of Antichrist! Is surface harmony worth the risk of huge numbers of believers being caught totally unprepared spiritually, emotionally, and physically? What about the “many” believers whom Jesus mentioned in Matt. 24:9-13 who would fall away when the deception and persecution of the last days arrives? If Jesus’ coming is several decades away, then perhaps the rapture debate is not all that critical. But, if Jesus is coming soon as the signs seem to indicate, one’s views on the timing of the rapture are crucial to being prepared to be an overcomer in the difficult days before His coming.’ (Tim Warner (http://www.geocities.com/~lasttrumpet/) )

Up until very recently, I did not have a firm stance about whether I was a pre-tribber, mid-tribber or post-tribber. I had not even heard of the post-tribulation rapture. The End Times sequence confused me as did all the terms, pre-millenial, post millenial etc etc to be honest. I have found whereas End Times scholarship is very big in the USA, in the UK I have never heard it preached on - in any church or further biblical or missions or ministry training I have been in. I have heard isolated passages but nothing else. I read Revelation through and got confused and could not fit it all together. The Book of Daniel had not made much sense, neither did the other prophets (Zechariah etc).

That all changed this week or so when I have sought God’s face and asked Him to unseal Daniel’s visions. He gave me the vision as posted on this site and brought many things together for me. Strands of scriptures that had been hanging and not fitted into the puzzle suddenly fitted together and I saw many new things in Isaiah and Jeremiah and the minor prophets that tied into this and suddenly made sense. (I am not saying I know it all, far from it!)

I make no apology for what I posted - I give exactly what I saw in the same sequence I saw it. I had not ever been taught post-tribulation theology or the proper sequence of many End Time events but my vision is absolutely in agreement with the scriptures and God has opened my own eyes as well through it to correct End Times theology as well as given me a message to pass on to the world.

The Bible is absolutely post-tribulation - that is the end times saints suffer much before being raptured up at the Second Coming of Christ which is like lightning from The East. They - the overcomers - will with Jesus then judge the Earth and will reign with him on Earth for 1000 years - the millenium.

Some scriptures to demonstrate that the Rapture occurs after the Antichrist is revealed.

‘Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come. Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for (that day will not come) until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-5)

“Immediately after the distress of those days (the tribulation) the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. (Matthew 24:29-31)

“Then they will deliver you to affliction and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of My name” (24:9). “When therefore you see the abomination of desolation…then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains…” (24:15).

He (the antichrist) will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time. (Daniel 7:25)

I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them (Daniel 7:21)

He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. (Revelation 13:7)

And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. (Daniel 8:24)

And the dragon … went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Rev 12:17)

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. (Revelation 20:4) (If these saints were raptured up pre-tribulation, then the fact they had not recieved the mark would be irrelevant - they would not be around for it to effect them anyway - they therefore must be around at the time of tribulation for them to have refused to take the image!)

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. (Revelation 14:12-13)

  1. Good post filled with much truth. Now I just need to find the vision you were given…
    And thank you for stopping by my blog. I have a post that is now marked private, on an open vision I received that if you are interested I will share with you.
    You may find it confirming much of what you have seen.

    Now off to find the vision…

    Blessings to you!

  2. Yes indeed the scripture clearly teaches a post tribulation end times. The Lord has shown me this not by way of vision or prophecy but by careful study of scripture. The espousers of the pre tribulation rapture have done so by bringing great confusion as to who the church is and who the Israel of God is. When you correctly discern that the Israel of God and the church are one and the same everything makes sense and falls into place without confusion as to the clear teaching of the scriptures. As Paul said the Lord has made one new man out of the two! Gentiles in Christ have been grafted into the olive tree. The new covenant of Jeremiah 33 is the new covenant that Christ gave us! There is much deception in the church and embracing the lies of a pre tribulation rapture opens the doors to further deception. Thanks for the good stuff posted here. Feel free to visit my blog. http://jude23.wordpress.com/

  3. Your blog and comments are on target and marvelous and I agree with you totally! The posttrib view was the only rapture view in pre-1830 theology and in all organized churches. Several Google articles I have found prove this: “Pretrib Rapture Diehards,” “Revisers of Pretrib Rapture History,” “The Rapture Index (Mad Theology),” “Famous Rapture Watchers,” and “Deceiving and Being Deceived” - - all by Dave MacPherson, an historian. Keep serving our wonderful Lord! Clara

  4. good word

    Comment by mike schwartz | August 19, 2007

  5. i read your article on the end of the world and people think that further events like antichrist and tribulation have to occur before the last day. But I believe we are nearer to the end of the world than anyone realises and that the Second coming of the lord will take place without any warning whatsoever and that it will happen in this generation. The term antichrist is just another word for evil and is not necessarily a figure of one man who will turn up claiming to be god or whatever. Antichrist is the accumulation of evil on earth over a massive area.and that situation does exist on earth today.

    Comment by joanne kelly | September 1, 2007

  6. Joanne: thanks for your comments, but it is about what the Bible teaches that has 100% infallibility and not one’s own opinions. Respectfully, antichrist is just not just another word for evil, and although the word can be applied to many individuals and things or doctrines that take the rightful place of Christ, scripture does indicate ONE individual will be THE Antichrist. He is called also the Son of Perdition and Man of Lawlessness and will be a human under Satan’s influence.

    Re the second coming, Jesus teaches that He will not return again until after this man of lawlessness appears. He also mentions other things will happen such as the appearance of false Christs before he returns again in the clouds.

  7. Regarding the below comment I copied from your post, is it not possible that those who are saved will go before the rapture–and the ones you speak of below, are the ones saved AFTER the rapture? Your thoughts?

    (Revelation 20:4) (If these saints were raptured up pre-tribulation, then the fact they had not recieved the mark would be irrelevant - they would not be around for it to effect them anyway - they therefore must be around at the time of tribulation for them to have refused to take the image!)

    Comment by Megan | September 11, 2007

  8. Megan: your argument would be possible if this was the only hint there was about the rapture in scripture. However the rest of scripture (some of which I quoted here) such as 1 Thessalonians indicate only one return of Christ and one rapture (at the same time) and it is not just one or two wierd passages but several that agree on this that are straight forward. If you believe in a pre trib or mid trib rapture then actually you believe in two second comings and two raptures which is contrary to the say the least! There will only be one glorious return of our wonderful Lord. Also read what Christ says to his disciples about his coming : he did not say it would be one rule for the new converts and another rule for the others. Church history also indicates that it was only around 150 years ago that a rapture happening before the tribulation started being purported, so it is only a new theology that states anything differant to what I have stated here, and one has to thus closely examine the reasons and motives and also soundness behind this new doctrine. I am all for looking at new ideas, but not when they cannot agree with scripture, and truly I believe they cannot and the pre trib rapture doctrines lead astray from the truth.

    Comment by endtimespropheticwords | September 11, 2007

  9. I too, believe the Bible speaks of a post-trib rapture. I mean, I surely would like to be sweetly spirited away in a twinkling of an eye before things get too hot, but too many other scriptures indicate different. This is a very good post!

    You wrote: “Church, prepare yourselves and hear what is to come! Strengthen yourselves, bind up the broken and the fragile and vulnerable and make them strong now, or they will be surely swept away in the coming days”

    I’ve held onto this opinion for awhile: the fluff & goo that’s being fed to countless Christians is keeping them co-dependent, focused on the wrong things (ie. riches), blind and wimpy. They are already being preconditioned to accept deceit. I see it all as a precursor to the BIG FALLING AWAY the Bible speaks of. Now how can strong, solid, Christians be swept over the falls of deception so suddenly during the rule of the Anti-Christ? I believe we are in a season of preparation for that, so actually this occurence will be gradual in a sense, rather than instant. So your quote about ‘keeping them weak or they will surely be swept away’ was confirmation for me.

    I also notice that we are in the precursory season (for lack of a better term) of separation (wheat from tare) that is promised. In fact, just like in harvest seasons of old, the grain would first be gathered into bundles before it was removed from the field. I see bundles being formed right now. Bundles of heretics and their followers, bundles of hypocrites and their crews, etc. Even on a micro level, I’ve witnessed much drifting apart of family members divided along the lines of who serves God and who serves mammon. (It’s been a trip to watch this.)

    I have a question: (not sure if this is the right topic to ask it under, my apologies if its not!) what’s your take on what was behind the devastation of Hurricane Katrina?

    Thanks again for this blog, Miriam. I am learning, learning, learning!
    Blessings,

  11. I was re-reading through the Gospels recently and came across a passage in Mark that was a real ‘ah-ha’ moment for me.

    It is Mark 8 after Christ Jesus shrugs of the Pharisees who wanted to see a ’sign from heaven.’ He gets into a boat with his disciples and tells them to beware the leaven of the Pharisees. They, because they had forgotten to bring bread, thinks that’s what Messiah is talking about — food.

    This was after Christ Jesus had fed the 5,000 and the 4,000, at which his disciples were present.

    The fact that they think that Jesus Christ is speaking of plain old bread is a surprise…because they, more than others, had witnessed all that Jesus Christ had already done.

    17 … Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened? 18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?

    19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?” They said to Him, “Twelve.”

    20 “Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.”

    21 So He said to them, “How is it you do not understand?”

    His own disciples who were there with him and saw the miracles first-hand… the LORD has to ask them: are you still blind, do you still not hear, don’t you remember?

    Anyway, this gave me more understanding (even though I knew it already) that no matter how much information and truth we give to people, many of them will just not hear, see or understand it.

  12. Throughout the Bible, the righteous ones are rescued from God’s wrath upon the evil world. This is the way God works. We are not of the world any longer…we belong to God, and He will rescue all who are His from the coming wrath!! THIS IS THE TRUTH!! Please, click open this link to better understand this truth!

    Comment by Charity | May 22, 2008

  13. I agree that there were many circumstances throughout the Bible and then after, where God saved His people. But what about the early church? In the first century, they were being persecuted and murdered by the thousands and yet no rescue. Whenever God was unhappy with his people, he would allow them to be sent into exile, conquered or worse, killed in order to one day show his mercy. It’s easy as Americans to believe God will come save us at the last moment, because we have no real threat or tragedy presented to us when it comes to claiming Christ. Missionaries are killed overseas all the time. So before we’re so hasty to say we won’t experience the tribulation, we’d better prepare ourselves spiritually just in case we do. I seriously doubt the “mark” will be so obvious as to have to get it on a Sunday morning in “satan’s tattoo shop”. Many will be deceived, even the ELECT!

    Comment by Reelize | May 30, 2008

  14. Charity:

    God delivered His children out of the land of Egypt. But the next time He intervened, they were all exterminated for not trusting Him. They wandered the wilderness for 40 years until everyone over the age of twenty had perished before God allowed the Israelites into the promised land.

    Jesus is our exodus from being slaves to Sin. When He returns, He will complete our entry into our ‘promised land’ which is eternity with Him.

    While God does rescue His people in the Bible, it is worth noting that eventually all the apostles, excluding John, were martyred. John was the only one to die of old age.

    Shalom.

    Comment by Bull | June 18, 2008

  15. I thank you for this word on the days of Noah. God has been impressing me with these very thoughts about righteousness verses unrighteousness and ungodliness. A great shaking is coming to divide those in the ark from those who want to continue their lives here.

    I too am post-tribulational. I have a hundred books on Revelation from every point of view. Ten years ago, I started my own indepth study but I found no commentary that agreed with what I was finding until I picked Robert Mounce’s commentary which I had but really never studied closely.

    There are two editions. The ‘97 edition is the latest.

  16. The thing about this End Time Delusion, which is the Apostolic Prophetic Cult, is that it is made up of Jezebels.

    Jezebel is a false prophet. The terms are synonymous.

    Male Jezebels/Female Jezebels — this is WHAT the End Time Church IS.
