Hello. I merely intending to present powerful evidences of God's Sovereign Judgement (decisions) over everything, including the Wisdom's of peoples.
For me, the prophecy fulfillment in our days would be supporting evidence of Gospel of Scripture in action. For The Word of God is Living and Active and sharper that the two sides of a Sword. Jesus had wanted disciples that were sharp with regard to their discernment abilities. All things work together for the edification of The People called, faithful, and chosen. The purpose of extant Prophecy in the advancement of The Kingdom was the edification of The Believers as a Powerful Work that God Is Doing. For example, The Kingdom advanced with the greatest in The Kingdom which among those born of womankind was called John the Baptist who Prophesied the Coming of The Messiah Jesus to prepare the people of Judea for who could stand on the day of His Coming for He will be like a launderers soap or refining fire. Among those who were disciples at the teaching of The Bread of Life were found counted worthy of the calling of Apostle only 11, and then later 13. (in fulfillment of the 13 original tribes of Judea, when counting the Levites)
I concur that one would never build any Foundational belief upon extant or extraneous Prophecy. Yet, believers in the law of Moses and The Gospel are not to hold what was said in contempt. One should weigh carefully what was said to test it to be in accordance with The Sound Treasured Foundry at Scripture. In The Scripture, there was a meeting held for Prophecy whereby more than one Saint was present.
The evidences of God among His People Testify to the Greatness of God found at Scripture. We are signs and symbols of The Lord God Almighty who dwells on mount Zion in Heaven. Martyrdoms are a Great Sign to many people. For Greater love has no one than that they would lay down their lives for their friends in reverence of the Awesome Sacrifice made at Christ's submission to the Cross at Golgatha. Many brave soldiers have served honorably and in faithfull prowess across the millennium of ages The New Jerusalem City choosing instead The better Country of Paradise.
Onward Christian soldiers marching out to wrestle against the spiritual powers and rulers and the principalities of this dark generation or world! To the conqueror goes the plunder.

It's a norrow road of truth and light we walk down, and even more so in these end days. I've said it on a previous thread some time ago, it's only safe to trust the words of prophecy written in the book that God has put His seal on.
I know people will say that God gave the gift of prophecy. But these are days way to dark now. One simple step taken away from the path, and we will venture ever more further away.
Remember, many false teachers and prophets will rise up and decieve many. Play it safe during these dark days. If it isn't in the book, tread carefully, test the spirits and pray about it, and if the main view of others is less than favourable, be humble and go back to the book and thank God that he has given us all we need within there.
I say this with complete love.

Yeah, the problem I have with Nostradamus' prophecies and other similar stuff like the so called Bible codes is that they are generally so abstract, general, and after the fact that they could be applied to anything. Most of the time, they, especially the Bible codes, never are useful to predict an event before it occurs.
The Word of God, on the other hand, is very specific in its prophecies. For instance, the prophecies regarding the first advent of Jesus were very specific and were only fulfilled 100% in Him. The same applies to the prophecies surrounding His second advent and the events that will occur. While there are some different views of interpretation, in general, there is much that is agreed on that will specifically happen based on the Bible.
When it comes to interpreting the events that are happening in our time and the signs of the times, I admit that I do see a high probability that we are close to this age's final hour. That being said, I still take a wait and see approach and only hope that people pull their heads out of the sand to account for those things that are truly important. We have to stand firmly on the foundation of the Word and not interpret too much extra-Biblical prophecy as being on par with the Bible. That being said, I don't necessarily believe that some of the extra-Biblical stuff is entirely coincidental. Even Satan knows how the story ends, and I do believe he twists the very words of God for his own ends. He did it to Eve in the garden. He knows his time will be short, so he needs to maximize the effectiveness of that time by having planted deception throughout the ages.

Hi Josh and Jerowhy,
I agree with your attitude here Josh. it's a shame really, as there is no reason to suggest that prophecy is not a current gift in the church, so please don't see what i'm saying as a high critiscism in any way Jerowhy. I only say this because it has become clear that over the last hundred years or so, and now even more so, and increasing. There are those bringing new 'prophecy' into the church that has captured many into some seriously wrong directions. Many new teachings and visions and prophecy have been so influenced by new age ideas and brought into the church, that if we were not careful, it would be easy for someone to be led off the narrow path.
I know, as said already, that there are some external writings and prophecy from out side the bible that mirror the prophecies in the bible, and seem to point to now. But that's all they are at best, mirrors. But they are a vague and muddled mirror and all i'm saying is, more than any time before, we need to be selective, and take great care, because if we are in the last hour, then Satan believes 'this is his hour' and is busy as never before.
Blessings to you both,
Sonic

Thank you Josh and Sonic. I appreciate, especially, the efforts that you make on these boards to encourage others. Many People are become aware that the signs sent are God Moving in Powerful ways in these days is what I hear.
I hope that the prowess of the disciples would not lend itself to be uncourageous enough at heart to deny that there would be tribulation, so as to deceive ourselves as though we know better than the Sovereign God who made Us. If called to the Honor, one should prepare ones self to lay down their physical body to fight the Good fight making the Good confession of submitting the tabernacle of the body to Jesus, instead of to worldly pursuits only.

No problem, Jerowhy. Sometimes, I feel as though I lack the skills in interpreting and translating the scripture that many of the others possess. I tend to read the Word as it's translated while employing a very rudimentary cross-reference and translation verification system. I hope to learn from Retro, Bob, Sonic, and others in employing more critical analysis to my Bible studies.
That being said, I find that one thing I have to contribute is my obsessive research of the news and many of the so called "conspiracy theories." So many people in general discount a lot of the stuff that is happening as fringe, kooky ideas. However, in many cases, as we go through studying scripture and the prophecies contained therein, it's not hard to believe that this world is being set up for the events that will soon come to pass.
When I post my cautions, it's only for the reason that there are some crazy thoughts and ideas out there that Christians should be careful to associate with. For instance, when we are talking about implanted chips (the mark of the beast) and one world government, I can tell you that there are some non-Christians who see and oppose these things, too. However, I know of some that think it's being caused by reptilian aliens. There's also a film floating around on the net called Zeitgeist that reports many of the valid facts about the one world government and implanted chip theories. Then the filmmakers screw it up by saying that Christianity and religion in general are myths being used to control the populace. They essentially follow the Jesus Seminar path and try to prove that Jesus was only a myth. These are things we have to be wary of as we look at the extra-Biblical stuff. We definitely want to be sure that people know what the Bible is saying first so that people can have true understanding.
God bless you, and may He bless us all as we endeavor to gain wisdom from His Word together.

Hi Josh, thanks for your kind words. However, i'm no great scholar by any estimation. I do read with as honest heart as I can, and I try to study by keeping as close to the Word of God as I can. I want truth, and I wwon't venture far from God's word to find it. I will look outside God's word to see what's going on, after all, it's to do with our world, and we are in the world. But only ever with my anchor firmly attached to God's word.
I'm sure God has given each one of us gifts, to which we can all learn stuff from each other. I love to be enlightened by my bro's n' sisters. It's exciting. So come on Josh, gimme some juicy stuff :)

I don't have much in me right now. I just got done with a big post over in The Church forum. There is some lively debate happening in the "What's so bad about the JWs" thread. You should check it out, if you get the time. I need sleep now. Later, Sonic.

Hey all,
I haven't been in here in a while but the presidential elections certainly got my attention and I thought I'd drop in. I see a few of you are thinking like I am.
I was also noticing that some posters were talking about the one world religion.
If you watch the Ben Stein movie, Ejected, no intelligence allowed. It brings some things to light.
But that isn't the only thing that bothers me.
The gay community is certainly setting it's sights on Christianity as the number one cause for the reason same sex marriage isn't allowed in the US.
I seen video footage of an elderly woman being attacked by a rather large gay man when she went to protest against gay marriage.
Five or six other protesters joined in and ripped the cross out of her hands and began to stomp on it.
When people replied to this footage, the main response was that Christians were fruitcakes and they needed to mind their own business. One posters reply stated, "Christmas fruitcakes need to be sent to an island and then the island needs to be nuked".
No one seemed to care that the little old lady was by herself and posed absolutely no threat to the hundred or so gay protesters.
All anyone could say, was that Christians need to stay to themselves.
If you combine this mob mentality to what Ben Stein is saying in his movie, you get a clear image of what the one world religion will be like and how it will come to pass. Not to mention a good understanding that it isn't far away.

Hi Aleric,
Yep, I saw this news item also. It was shocking as you say. The actual news was shocking enough, but what was even more shocking, as you yourself said, was that the covering of this news item didn't in anyway show any concern for this old lady who had been attacked. It's main report was focused on the issue of whether or not the gay movement had good reason to get angry.
This aside, as you say, it shows up a definite shift in peoples attitude to Christians, who in days past were respected for being righteous and good people that would stand up for what was good and decent. Now, it seems that anyone that holds fast to their beliefs, and their morals standing because of those beliefs, should simply shut-up and it is no longer ok to voice your beliefs. What's truth to a Christian is fine, but is not truth to another, so should simply allow our world to do what it wants. It's a perversion on the understanding of freedom and peace! - Those that deny God's truth to practise things apposed to what God says is good and true are saying that 'we' are destroying their freedoms, and so are against peace. However, the truth is, and what they forget, is that people not involved in this 'new morality' are loosing their freedoms to 'Not' have gay rights thrown in our faces without a choice. In the UK, homosexuality is starting to be seen and taught to our children as a 'valid lifestyle choice'. We do not have the freedom to say we do not want it taught our children. We no longer even have the right peacefully to protest against it, without it being seen as ‘holding back the elimination of prejudices’ and receiving un-peaceful retaliation.
I thing Satan has been working hard in creating his ‘new world’! - A new belief system of political correctness that has perverted the concepts of what prejudice really is. It is so radical in its eradication of any and all prejudice for the purposes of a new kind of peace, based on ‘no-absolute truths’ that it can’t see that it, by its very nature is creating a society that gives no support at all to any person or organisation that even hints that there maybe things that ‘are’ truth, whether it is uncomfortable to hear or not. That’s because, when we agree to create a world and laws ‘Not’ based on God’s truth, we quickly create our own morality, which will always find it easier to simply announce God’s values as ‘Not Sin’ and simply push God out of our world, which is what I believe we are seeing.
There soon will no longer be room for Christian morality in this brave new world of Political Correctness and equality for all life styles and beliefs. Much of the Church will bend to fit in with this ‘new world understanding of what brings peace’. Much of it already has! – This is the ‘falling Away’!
Jesus said that there would come a time that will be so dark that ‘no man’ will be able to work;
“I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work”. John9:4
I don’t understand this fully myself, but it seems to me that the world is aware that they must create neutrality in all things, to create the global peace that ‘must’ come for man to survive! What their lack of faith and understanding doesn’t understand is that this peace will never come by denying truth and morality. The only world you can create by letting go of absolute truths and by moving the goal posts of morality will be hell on earth for anyone that loves what’s good and true. That’s what they’ll get! – Because it is true, there does need to be peace if we are to survive in this now technologically dangerous world environment. But that won’t be by denying God or Christ, but by accepting them. (again, read Psalm 2, lol)
Ultimately, they will never do this, which is why finally we see judgement, and then we’ll see peace, as it is achieved through Jesus Christ’s return to restore truth, and create that desired peace through holding fast to those eternal truths that our world is so busy in destroying here at the very end of this age!
I believe this condition we are seeing will increase. I think to a much higher degree ‘TRUE’ believers that do not compromise the truth of God’s word will see more prejudice toward them, and some countries more than others, until much of what we Christians have taken for granted as truth and freedom, will be made illegal. However, there will remain an ‘accepted Christian Identity’, but she will be so compromised that she will pose no threat to this brave new world of compromised truth.
But those that hold true to the end, ‘Will’ be saved!
There, that’s off my chest! – LOL
Thanks for a great post Aleric
Sonic

There in is the problem…every value of the new world thinking is about peace, love and compassion for others…now who can argue with that, isn’t that what Christ teaches? To be honest, for many Christians that argument is difficult to overcome and as a result they are trapped in the movement, particularly the liberal Christians.

Spot on Bob mate! But that compassion, although meaning well, is taken out of context to the truth and ends up going too far, denying the very truth itself. Oh this stinks of the subtleties of the serpent in the garden! Liberal Christianity will easily find its place in this brave future, true faith won't!
Blessings

Your right, who can argue with that? Because it is clear that they truly are meaning well, the true Christian that says, 'yes, we believe this too, but not at the expense of denying eternal truths', will not be understood or accepted, seen as rebels against goodness and peace!
I thing this is a very big indicator that we truly are closing in very close to the Final Weak!

I could argue against that message:
For those holier-than-thous (the mob), we ought to be tolerant of everyone, except for the intolerant. I say, true tolerance affords other people the right to be intolerant. That is the essence of liberty in a free, albeit imperfect world. We let people live their lives and afford them the right to their own opinion.
As Christians, we do not fear nor hate those of various beliefs and ideas, because we know that God is the judge. In his infinite wisdom, He also gives each of us our lives to make a decision, and it ain't over 'til its over. That's why it was never some Biblical mandate for Christians to go out and kill in the name of Christ. For while we know that God knows all things, we don't know where the Holy Spirit is working. In light of that, there should never be a reason for us to harm nor kill another person out of that idea that their life is their opportunity to accept or reject Christ.
I could argue with those self-righteous people who subscribe to this world's brand of tolerance all day. Sure, it probably wouldn't win many over. However, I would win the argument, because I am right and it's the truth.
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. We have much to be thankful for!

Hi Josh 
Yes, and that is the point we are making. We can argue against it, but they will ask the question, 'who can argue against this compassion and love'! Not understanding that they are not seeing how important truth is within this new age of compassion!
We as true Christians will not harm others because we hold to our beliefs, where as many of these are doing. Yet we see that they are receiving understanding and support above the christian by the majority, even though they parade their beliefs with anger and often violence. Yet the Christian is no longer tolerated, just because he or she holds to the truth, and as a light in a dark place proclaims that truth. We are seen as uncompassionate and narrow minded.

I know, Sonic. It's just so frustrating to see. It's a crazy paradox. I know that this is what's meant to happen. I accept that God is in control, and that he will take care of everything in the end. Yet, there is this part of me that wants to scream at the world and say, "SNAP OUT OF IT!" I hope you understand what I'm trying say here.
Count it all joy! I am thankful to have forums like these with people who share faith in Jesus. It's a place where we can fellowship and sharpen each other, like iron sharpens iron.

The incentive for Israel to strike at Iran is gaining support and they say they will make a move towards the Nuclear Facilities with or without the United States. With Obama in power it undoubtedly would be without the US.
If Israel does, could that be the beginning of retaliation by a collation of Muslim’s and Russia? If so this is an event that could build rather rapidly.

I'm new to this forum and hope my input makes sense. I think were rapidly moving toward the great tribulation and if we live another 10 years we will see it's beginning. Russia is raising its ugly head again and they will keep pushing the envelope until we have no choice but to confront them. When Israel attacks Iran. This could set off the global catastrophy the antichrist needs to set up his world system. Just my theory. As I read Mathew, especially chapter 24, and look at what's going on throughout the world. everything seems to point to what Jesus said we could expect in the last days. The whole thing is hard to fathom, I don't kwow if were going to be raptured before this all ocurrs, I hope so. But it makes no difference. My hope is in the words of Jesus. When you se all these thing happening. Look up for you redemption draws near.

Personally, I can see where people are coming from that think we are entering the 'last week' (I tend to think this way too), but to be the devil's advocate (haha), could the same be said for example when Hitler was in power or other times of war and strife? I just wonder if we're so wrapped up in what's going on right now that we don't think that the end may be farther off. I thought the Euro was a sign leading toward a one world financial system and now with all the bailouts, it looks like government will be owning even more (scary).

Shalom, Bob.

The incentive for Israel to strike at Iran is gaining support and they say they will make a move towards the Nuclear Facilities with or without the United States. With Obama in power it undoubtedly would be without the US.
If Israel does, could that be the beginning of retaliation by a collation of Muslim’s and Russia? If so this is an event that could build rather rapidly.
Bob
Yes, you are quite right. Obama does not strike me as the sort who would back Isra'el's decision for a preemptive strike. Yet it was such strikes that has saved their nation many times! The six-day war, for example! If it wasn't for the fact that they struck while their enemies were still trying to get organized, the battle would have been far bloodier and Isra'el's casualties much higher, possibly costing the existence of the country!
In today's "political correctness," we have a HUGE problem: And, you've all hit it on the head when you note a "Christianity" that's so given to "peace, love, and compassion" that they forget about the other attributes of God, such as holiness, justice, and purity! They forget that He is a jealous God! They forget that He sometimes displays His WRATH on sin! They conveniently forget that He HATES SIN! They conveniently forget the prophecies that show Him drenched in His enemies' blood! They conveniently forget the praise and reward He lavishes on those who are not afraid to take a grim stance, such as Daviyd lopping off Golyat's head, Eliyahu ordering the deaths of the 450 prophets of Ba'al, or Piynekhac's (Phinehas') harpooning of the couple having sex out of wedlock!
I say that we need MORE Daviyds, Eliyahus, and Piynekhaces, noble men and women who are not afraid to take up arms against God's enemies! However, we may need to look to Yisra'el for these heroes, because our own laws and legal opinions work AGAINST those who would take up God's causes here in the USA.
Yes, in my opinion, we have already entered the Last Week and are currently in alignment for the second half to begin.

This is David, Elijah, and who? I don't know who Piynekhaces is. Could you translate?

WHAT?! You don't know who Piynekhaces is? He's only the most important person in the Bible.
Actually, I never heard of him before, but Roy said he was Phinehas in the post. I just couldn't resist the opportunity for some jest.
