Rightfully, many a non Biblical student of the Word of God would look at this exactly as you see it and I do not blame ANY of them.
NONE of those people on your list would I walk across the street to talk to or listen to.
Problem 1 with ALL of them.
They are in direct contradiction of the HOLY WORD OF GOD.
HOW? Because they GIVE DATES. NO MAN KNOWS the DAY when CHRIST SHALL RETURN. (Jesus said that in case you wondered)
Secondly, Jesus also told us to be observant of the "seasons" and times in which we live. We are NOT to go through life with our head in the sand being foolish and unwise and we also are not to pay attention to those who run around claiming anything that does not line up with the description of what GOD said and gave us in HIS Word.
Revelation chapter 13 describes clearly that in that time period no man, woman, child is able to go to the market and BUY OR SELL ANYTHING unless they have the mark of the beast either in the hand or forehead.
SO the question BEGS what is the mark (or identifier of the BEAST's reign) and what are things like under that reign?
WHY are nations all over the world becoming cashless societies? IS it by mere coincidence?
WHY are so many world "leaders" wanting a GLOBAL one world government????
It is very easy and in fact all is in place to day for E-COMMERCE to take place. What must yet be overcome is that we get a universal economy and universal identifiers that contain ALL our medical records and much more than that. Economics and ability to pay using an inserted microchip will be the vogue.
You will not be able to go to the STORE (market) and buy anything unless you have that mark of the Beast.
Now, if this offends anyone, you can tell GOD all about it. He was the author of this warning.
AND THAT is all this really is, a warning to people to be aware of the times and KNOW THAT YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH.
NOT for us to be like the foolish virgins with the LAMP who ran out of oil when the bridegroom came....
We are to be wiser than serpents and harmless as doves.
KNOWING the scriptures and the references to these times and observing what is happening and how that lines up with what we have been told in Scripture plainly, simply makes us aware that Jesus' Coming for HIS OWN to take them out of this world is not very far away.
Things are lining up for the One WORLD government of GLOBALISM. ALL one need do is look at EUROPE and its leaders and what all those people are clamoring for. A UNITED rule.... That is what MANY current political figures here in the United States are fighting so desperately for as well.
It makes sense when one looks at it in the light of the scriptures.
BUT>>>>>>
NO MAN KNOWETH the DAY or the HOUR when the FATHER shall say to the SON, IT IS TIME to REDEEM those who are yours...
Consequently, many CHARLATANS and FAKES and PHONIES have been wildly stating that the time is at hand and it is going to be on such a date.....
Apparently they failed to read what GOD said....
ALL we can do is be INSPECTORS of the TIMES and conditions, and observe and see how that lines up with what GOD said the days would be like right before JESUS comes for HIS OWN.
It seems to me that the broad and almost global readiness of acceptance to have this universal buying and selling device, "mark" inserted into ones self, and wanting this more than paying cash in your own countries currency, is a big indicator that THINGS are shaping up Ever hear the phraseology lately about WHY can't we all just get along?
OPEN SOCIETY and OPEN BORDERS? ONE BIG HAPPY GLOBALIST FAMILY and COUNTRY????
ONE SUPREME RULER over that large Glabalist nation?
HMMMMMM. Looks like to me that things are beginning to shape up for the return of Jesus Christ as the Bible described conditions of this time and Jesus proclaimed that HE WOULD come back for those are called BY HIS NAME.
SO, I understand completely the skepticism and gladly acknowledge there was not a shortage of those have misled and not proclaimed the WHOLE COUNSEL of GOD because likely they did not know it... Doesn't bother me in the slightest.....
I just read my Bible carefully, through cover to cover and study. EVERY single prophecy has come to pass. Except ONE. The COMING of Christ to Receive The Church and those Believers up into Heaven when the Trumpet of God shall sound. THAT is the last thing the believers have to look forward to.
And right now in these times, things are looking lie they are lining up in order to fulfill the very description of things will be like at the time Cjrist CALLS HOME those who are HIS.
Don't know exactly when that is. Nobody does. But we sure getting very close to that description in Revelation
chapter 13...
I wrote this strictly to help you or anyone else understand WHY I stated what I did because I do not want anyone else to be caught by surprise and be left here for when that does happen because the time after that will be unimaginably horrifying...
My best to all!
micro...
BTW
Armageddon comes three and a half years AFTER the RAPTURE takes place.... We don;t need to worry about that. I won't be here...
