March 5, 2023: Bible Prophecy Update -- Waiting For the Other Shoe to Drop

[DEC]

I believe This Is What We Need To Remember Today

You have to fully acknowledge Him as God, and you have to find your place in His plan.

March 15, 2023

Today’s Verse

LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago. - Isaiah 25:1 NIV

Devotion

Nothing happens apart from a plan. Nothing happens apart from the plan of God. Creation is not a chaotic mush of happenstance. It is an orderly unfolding of a plan. It is a never-ending story that was conceived long ago and that is playing out before our very eyes. Although we may not fully understand the story, although we may not fully discern where it is headed, everything that happens finds its place within it. Even when we take responsibility, even when we make decisions, it all fits into the plan conceived long ago.

Even the wonderful things of life fit into the plan. Indeed, especially the wonderful things. These are the things that stand out as being extraordinary, unusual, remarkable, and even miraculous. The story God conceived is not a boring story. It is filled with incredible happenings that cause us to marvel at the wisdom of God, just like the Apostle Paul did: “Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out… For from him and through him and for him are all things” (Romans 11:33-36).

The wonderful things of God were planned in perfect faithfulness. Faithfulness to whom? Faithfulness to us. Faithfulness to God’s people. God planned long ago to do wonderful things for us. It is because of God’s faithfulness to His people that He planned these wonderful things in the first place. He planned to make us, redeem us, deliver us from our troubles, overcome our enemies, lead us and guide us, and a lot more besides. Everywhere we turn we see the wonderful things of God finding their place in His overarching plan.

That’s why the people of God exalt Him and praise His name. Once you get a glimpse of the plan, once you begin to see the wonderful things it contains, you can’t keep silent about it. You have to praise and exalt God for what He has done, for what He is doing, and for what He will do. You have to fully acknowledge Him as God, and you have to find your place in His plan.

Today, exalt the Lord and praise His name, for all the wonderful things He has planned for you.

Note To Family:

Today Is The Day To Remember and To Give Thanks

Cherish Such A Time Of Growing Your FAITH This Too Will Soon Pass Away.

We Shall Remember Many As The LORD would have us Remember so go out and make Preciouses Moments for all Eternity.

In response to your post about Australia from Harbingers Daily. It’s where I live and my heart breaks how deceived our nation is. The police shooting in Queensland has been so obviously used by our spiritual enemy to target Christians but more specifically Christians who are unvaccinated and hold to premillennialism. Guess I got a big fat target on my back. Satan can shoot all the fiery darts he wants, even if they hit I stand proud to be the target because it only proves that what I believe is true.

So here I am: middle aged and very few friends. Those who are my friends are held at arm’s length. I just don’t trust people anymore. I find myself diving into Scripture more to learn the character of God to understand that He is my only True Friend, and I can be myself with Him and He loves and accepts me anyway. I’m so much looking forward to going to meet Him face to face. My Savior and MY FRIEND

Myself a middle aged adult with few friends , I can honestly say the bullying I experienced as a child while it did impact my life with depression, eating disorders and anxiety, those things were also used by God to strengthen my relationship with him and resulted in me much of the passions I have on certain issues.
He truly does work all things out for good to them that love him.
He was and us the One true friend that has never let me down. And he has remained my friend despite my not always being the best friend to him I should’ve been in return .

Thank you, Naomi for sharing a little of your own experiences.

[Bluebonnet]

Sometimes God pushes me to put things out there in hopes of encouraging someone else. But it sure opens me up to be self protecting, and feeling foolish. But I have to do it anyway.
And Amen, I can attest to seeing how faithful a Friend Jesus is.

[Flamingogirl49563]

I am your friend, Naomi. Hope you realize how precious you are. You too, @staceylovesJesus.

@SusanS

I believe in the natural there are limitations, but in the spiritual and with God, all things are possible and He shows you things in a special way like He does with my dd.

I believe some are given filters in the natural that open better insight many times in the supernatural. I must say the less I bother myself with useless knowledge the more I find wisdom in Elohim.

Shalom

I know what you mean when you say about thinking people who you thought were friends taking advantage of you and the challenges of people with disabilities. I too have a learning disability and the school’s I went to just didn’t want to be bothered because they didn’t have the time to put into one on one with me. God does protect and has helped me learn despite the world.
I never would have guessed that you had any disability at all until the day this forum said it was going to make changes and something you said prompted me in prayer to our Lord for you and He revealed you were hearing impaired and it all made sense to me what you had posted.
Since coming to the forum I have read your posts as others cleaning out the wisdom God has given you and have found much from them.

Just want to say you may have struggles in the natural world but you have no hearing impairment or learning disability in the Spiritual for it is not with the natural eyes or ears that we see or hear our Lord and Savior. I suspect you are younger then I but you are very wise beyond your earthly years. Keep listening to our Lord and I will see you in the clouds.

[Bluebonnet]

Very wise words, Loretta.

[Bluebonnet]

Thank you, Carole Anne. You are mine as well.
It will be so wonderful when we all meet together with our Lord and all of our fumblings and bumblings will be gone! We’ll experience true fellowship with Him and each other.

Bold prophecy update by Tom Hughes

Look Who's Behind The Curtain! | Prophecy Update with Tom Hughes

[CLE]

@Blessed

If I am summarizing correctly, so then Casey, yes, israel must come to Jesus as we all do, but God also has not left her or abandoned her bc of her unfaithfulness as a nation and He will turn to her in the Trib and open their eyes and some will be saved. And, His promises for them will stand in the millennium. He will have mercy on her in the end.

I didn’t expect such vibrant discussion!

Sounds like @Stephmerm @Bluebonnet et Al. hit this on the head.

Yes, I agree, it’s not permanent. I think I mentioned that somewhere.

There are consequences and like I said following the AC is probably gonna have more of those.

And no idea for sure how it will play out, but God is good and faithful… that’s all the “wisdom” on this I can claim.

Good discussion.

Bold prophecy update by Tom Hughes

Gonna check it. Ty for sharing!

Edit:

@Stephmerm yes, very bold and awesome update!

[CLE]

@DEC

“Well God Promised” if I believed in my heart and excepted His gift of salvation by the way of the cross. Yes, our sins are forgiven continuously past, present and future. If not, I will need to continuality ask for forgiveness to stay saved. That’s not a gift but a work if its required.

I believe Him and I am no better than Israel 1/3rd of Israel shall be saved as promised as they are the true Israel because they will believe.

Shalom

If he did it for us he will do it for them.

@DEC

Apples and oranges, my friend. We are (in my opinion) not talking about the same thing.

God is good. I believe God. The Bible is His true word. Amen.

[DEC]

Gods promises do not always depend on Israel’s choices

@CLE

could just worship other god’s and be super evil but just say…well God promised!

Well that’s a pretty interesting thought but not for me to talk for God but His scriptures seem to say other wise. maybe you didn’t understand the Hosea & Gomer (prophets & prostitute marriage) story as a parallel’s of Israel and God marriage?

Those original people that generation is dead we are speaking to the ones to come later to be restored. The generation we see now has its own time to walk with the Lord this generation of the end days has their own time to choose…

@CLE

Nah. God is way smarter than that. God has rules, and what He said is laid out way better in scripture; and in context.

I believe its much more deeper than you are looking, the image has more details.

1st As far as I know never has their not been a remnant for God to work with and He has always had a Jewish and Christian remnant also.

Yes, And His promises are true and He will finish what he started. He would not make promises if they would not be kept.

All Israel Shall Be Saved
Romans 11
25I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. 26And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob. 27And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”…

I take this literal if to look at it any other way is replacement theology isn’t it?

@CLE

We must follow His commands to receive His blessings…

Sister are you blessed by God? If so have you kept all of His commands are we any different from the Remnant of Israel?

Shalom

What the Bible says about Unconditional Promises to David

Revelation 2:28
and I will give him the morning star.

Yeshua Jesus was Crowned King before He left earth by the gentile rulers over Israel and all Israel experienced it. It appears the Kings of Israel were traditionally crowned on Passover!

Another proof sign of the King in the City of the Great King.

As I looked out meditating on these things I wondered, how wonderful if Resurrection Sunday Sunrise was a bit of a spectacle this year.

Sure would be nice to meet that Morning Star just before the Sun Rises!

Shalom

@CLE

Apples and oranges, my friend. We are (in my opinion) not talking about the same thing.

Actually, I believe you have now pointed us to the truth of scripture, sister… Abba Blessed us by bruising them, I suggest we are in their debt and should keep praying for The Peace of Jerusalem.

Romans 11
The Ingrafting of the Gentiles
…22Take notice, therefore, of the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. 23And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!…

His Mercy Endures Forever Don’t Count Our Brothers and Sisters Out

The Glory of the New Covenant
…15And even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.…

Shabbat Shalom

I believe its much more deeper than you are looking, the image has more details

Bless you,

My original point was that the word apostasia actually correlates with “divorcement” in Jer 3:8. The word is used similarly (I’m not a great scholar it just is correlated on Blue Letter Bible)

My question/speculation was: is that verse in 2 Thess 2:3 about the rebellion of the Jews i.e. about those that will choose to follow Satan (AC; man that comes in his own name) rather than Jesus?

Currently, I think some minor details are different about the timeline of the end times; kinda like brother @TCC has a different view as well , but I won’t elaborate because I don’t want to cause issues, so if anyone wants to know what I think they can PM me.

I’m not dogmatic about it, but the more I study I just see the end time events a bit differently.

I do think the rapture is most likely next.

As far as brothers and sisters…

Jesus says His brothers and sisters are those in Christ.

Only God knows who exactly will ultimately be saved and who will perish. So I’m not talking about that. Heaven forbid I even try.

Future belief of anyone is so out of my ability to know. Jesus said many will perish (wide gate). That is all I know about that.

Many will be saved also…but FEW compared to the many. That’s what the Bible says and I leave it at that my dear brother.

As far as understanding the passage of 2th 2:3 (in context I promise; to the best of my ability)

I have read/listened to much opinions on it.

And looked at the scriptures. I just came to a different conclusion than this wonderful ministry of JDs and many dear brothers and sisters here as well.

I look forward to the day we will be with God and see one another, with no argument, no pain etc.

[TCC]

From what I understand its a hot button because there is a lot associated with replacement theology. I am not sure from reading your posts if that is what you hold (I’m not but have spoken to many with this view if you are near or with it). If you care to share, I don’t mind a PM. But honored to have you among the different viewers club in any event…yo…muhahaha. I would say Israel was divorced by God:

Hebrews 8:9
Romans 11:9
Acts 28:27
Roman 9:22

My understanding of the future look of Israel (aside from the prophecy about them in the latter days [Ezekiel 36-39]) is maybe most helpful where God left them off kind of thing I’m thinking…
Romans 11:11-24

11 I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? [g]Far from it! But by their wrongdoing salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous. 12 Now if their wrongdoing proves to be riches for the world, and their failure, riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their [h]fulfillment be! 13 But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Therefore insofar as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14 if somehow I may move my [i]own people to jealousy and save some of them. 15 For if their rejection proves to be the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 16 If the first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are as well.

17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the [j]rich root of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; 21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. 22 See then the kindness and severity of God: to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s kindness, if you continue in His kindness; for otherwise you too will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?

. . . . .

I just jumped in freestyle for fun. But this might be something more about like something I became really fascinated in and have to yet do so much more homework on. Will Israel in the trib be the body of
Christ? Were the apostles the body of Christ? Was Paul? We think we know the answer. But we know the church is the body of Christ. I just find it fascinating because for 30 years…like I never had that question. Love it when that happens. But if it has “anything” to do with that or even if not…this is a great article you might like.

Did the 12 Apostles ever join the Church the Body of Christ?

In fact that is an incredible resource in general. I have not found anything heretical on that site and they get into some pretty awesome topics.

Well not wanting to create controversy. Just hoping to be helpful. And I think its awesome, always have, that you have a heart in looking at things differently and have ventured to even express. I’m kind of like a junkie version of that…so its nice too to have the more tame and grounded version of that in the family-- not so much like a wild dog chasing a car approach such as myself. Great to be in the body of Christ with you dear sister. Hope any of this is of blessing.
