Well thats a good comparison Instinct! That iceberg is looming the scene more than we know. As a matter of fact, I was going to bring up some thoughts which i hope to be fact on my next post. But I will be glad to give you a moment of it now. Anyone who reads this, should have some questions, stirring thoughts, or to some, absolute panic, but panic is not my forethought here.
Lets take a moment to see what Daniel wrote when the Lord God spoke to him. Daniel wrote...Dan. 12:
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
1290 days equals 3 1/2 years. There is a time in the bible that speaks of this. It is referred to as Jacobs Trouble...or the tribulation which is a period of 7 years. The first 3 1/2 years is a false peace under the antichrist, the last half he goes insane and forces people to take a mark or you can not buy or sell. We have discussed this before.
Now here is the icebeg part referring to Instincts story. As of Sept. 20th, I believe we may have entered into this 7 year period that Daniel spoke of. The time of the end. It refers to the church age, not the end of the world. The bible clearly states that it will start with the Confirmation of the Covenant.
What is that? That is the document that Israel printed up, which refers to Israel being their land, Jerusalem is the city of God..etc. This I believe was presented at the Kyoto Peace Talks at the UN in Sept. 2005. Israel presented this document. If the AntiChrist was there at that meeting and heard this, then he confirmed it as a document that he heard read. I still contend it is Mikhail Gorbachev, but I could be wrong, but if who ever the AC is, and heard this read, ....it started this last 7 years spoken of by Daniel.
Quite an Iceberg i would say. I guess if this is the first article you have read in the Chapel this may make no sense to you, but I would be more than happy to tell you about it. Now about Sept 20 2005, im not 100% sure, but about 95% sure. Ok I can hear some of you now...what the heck is he talking about??
During this 3 1/2 period the bible says that 1/3 of the earths population will be destroyed. I know that ain't cool, but its in the book of Revelation. Its in the 9th chapter. read it, and when you get to the 6th trumpet..you will find it. It starts with China's 200,000,000 man army marching across the Euphrates river, and who is there now? United States of America's troops. Whats happening in the world news right now? Iran's nuclear weapons issue. Who sold it to them? Russia. Who is making the stink about the Nukes of Iran? Israel.
Who is Israels friend who will help them? United States of America. Who is sticking their nose in Irans nukes now? The United States of America. Who is Russias friend now? China. How will they try to stop this whole ball of yarn? Well if I figure this correct, If you stand your ground along the Euphrates with 100,000 troops, and see 200 million troops coming to face you, one would think that the US would say ok enough is enough and say, you can have it. But you know our pride; we have technology. I believe that it escalates to nuclear warfare...that is not a guess..it does.
At no other time in the history of the world has a country ever had 200,000,000 army. Funny the China boasted the exact number in the bible, what a coincidence. How convienent that we are in Iraq, with a dispute of Irans Nuclear capabilities. How Ironic that Iran and Israel are arch enemies. How does it work out that the worlds most powerful nation is right now along the Euphrates River?
http://geography.about.com/library/cia/blciraq.htmOut of this war, will come the AntiChrist because after 2billion people are killed the world will cry out...This can never happen again! The UN will present a leader who is familiar with peace, wars, negotiations, enviornmental issues, and did I say PEACE? Who in the UN fits that right now? Mikhail Gorbachev. If I'm wrong i will eat my socks.
Listen! Can you see how close we are to this?? Lets not be blind to this! Get your families back to the LORD JESUS if you have sort of wandered away from church. Serious, serious stuff here guys. You should be posting about this. Im not crazy you know that, but when 2+2=4, you have the answer. I don't think im presenting guess work to you. Stay close to CNN and Fox News.....and the Chapel here at MEOW.
