I think everything will become clear- after it happens.
Absolutely, I sometimes think the intent of prophecy is not so much to predict the future as it is to built faith once it happens. I am taking this verse out of it's intended context but I think it has a global application: Jn 14:29
And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.[/color We often see prophecy through a west-centric paradigm. "Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal" Actually refers to the modern state of Turkey. This fact aligns closely with the idea that future beast kingdom will be an Islamic union rather than a European one.
I mean, maybe, but the biggest killers of Jews historically were Europeans. Rome, in 70 and again in 120, and then in modern times Nazi Germany.
I can't argue with that. However, I believe there is coming a much greater persecution instigated by the rabid radical Islamic sects. Once they rise to political power, I see the beast kingdom arising from the ashes of the Ottoman empire and united for the single reason to destroy Israel(may God protect her)
12
This is pretty much how I see it:
(no offense to Fenris)
1)Israel will go through a series of successful judgements that will eradicate all non believing jews and restore faith in the Messiah to the elect jews(remnant) .(Joel 2:32)
2)Two thirds of Israel will be destroyed by judgement.(Zech 13:8 )
3)Half of Jerusalem will be destroyed.(Zech 14:2)
4)The remaining one third elect will cry "blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord" and repent to have faith in Jesus Christ(Matt 23:39)
5)And so all Israel shall be saved (Rom11:26)
6) Jew and Gentile will be united into an everlasting Messianic Kingdom(Eph 2:15-22)
The remnant will be kept safe(preserved) but Israel will go through her last time of judgement just as wrath is poured on the gentile nations
13
I don't think sin will be ever present. I think the whole reason the Lord tolerates sin in this age,is for it to come to it's fullness, "The Fullness of Iniquity". The Israelites spent over 400 years in Egypt because the iniquity of the Amorites was not yet full. Once they reached the height of debauchery,they were judged by being driven from the land. This same pattern plays out again and again throughout history. Once a general society is so corrupt that it calls good evil and evil good there is no more room for the conviction of sin. They cannot repent. They have become reprobate. Once this occurs, it is called "the fullness of iniquity" and divine judgement is soon at hand. I believe the reason God tolerates the most despicable forms of evil is to let it be shown for all it is. In the age to come(NHNE) there will be no possibility of sin or rebellion. This is for two reasons. 1) We will only have the new nature and the sin nature will be totality eradicated. 2) Evil, having been allowed to come to it's fullness, will be shown for what it is. This will further act as a restraining force that prevents sin. In short...once we get through this and the next phase of testing...there will never be sin again.

Praying that your wife gets healed
Ps 107:20 He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from all of their destructions
Thank you Shep, I remember you from the old forum when you had a nice yellow color  Wife is doing well, she has one of the worst kinds of diabetics, type 3c for insiders. Meaning sugar levels are going up and down for reasons unknown, medical science hasn't figured it out yet. So every day it's another new puzzle how to get these sugar levels under control, but one learns and it's all doable by now, less hypos.

Prolly good timing as particular poster incorrectly cited and misinterpreted numerous verses - denoting several as 'absolute proof.'
Cain't argue with them that be infallible.

Davy left because I told him he couldn't abuse Fenris. Yeahhhhhhh we're not going to be playing the "decieved Jews" game. So that stops now and there are no second chances if it's brought up again.
To Whom It May Concern:
I do not like to argue for argument's sake, as some here do. I don't have time for silly arguments just because someone doesn't like what is being taught from God's Word as written.
What does the pesky New Testament have to say to this?
"Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true."
Fenris is our dear friend, and though he does not live in Berea, it doesn't matter so much given that he is examining your message, just as Paul's was examined. Imagine Acts 17:13, "And Paul ignored the Berens". (I misspelt that on purpose.)

We had a 3rd rehearsal for our new drama ministry production. Please keep us in your prayers. The show can be so emotionally draining that our youngest "Angel" ended up in tears. I don't blame her. There are times I am almost moved.to.tears myself. In this production the events of Holy Week are told through the eyes of the Angels.

We've been the thankful victim of divine intervention!
We've been installing a new door between our entryway and (attached) garage so that we don't have to go outside whenever we want to access the garage. Well, as "luck" would have it, while the frame was being cut out of the wall we discovered signs of a water leak. £90 later it's fixed, but it would have been so much worse had we not found it at all.
"Luck", huh.
Something similar recently for us. Noticed a bit of water around the tub and got it pulled out. Cost a bit more, but better than a lot more water in the area. We were planning a reno there anyway. Just moved up the timeline.
