First topic message reminder :

It will soon be 100 days until Trumpets. I find myself asking,"What should I be doing Lord?" No one knows for sure what the future will bring, but who would not want to be ready and watching if the Lord should come quickly?

Rev 12 Sign, What should I be doing Lord? - Page 3 Empty Get On Board The Ark ~ Unsealed

Post by Tryphosa Mon Sep 11 2017, 21:20

10 Days until the Great Sign  http://www.unsealed.org/p/the-sign.html

“LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered—
how fleeting my life is. Psalm 39:4

---

Get On Board The Ark ~ Unsealed ~ Gary


The Day is approaching.  Just as in Noah's day, judgment will not tarry for long.  It is coming as sure as the Sun will rise.  God told Noah to prepare a massive wooden ark in which he and his family would escape the global cataclysm.  The ark had a single door that was so large only God could shut it ([url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Gen. 6.16]Gen. 6:16[/url], [url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Gen 7.16]7:16[/url]).

Likewise, in our time God has prepared another wooden object that we must cling to in order to escape the second global cataclysm: the cross of Christ.  The ark rose above the floodwaters and Noah and his family were lifted to safety while the world perished down below.  Christ our Savior was lifted up on a cross, paying for all of our sins.  When we trust in Him alone we will also be lifted up, but this time not just above floodwaters, but far above the earth into the heavenly realms.

Just as Noah and his family entered the ark seven days before the flood came ([url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Gen. 7.7-10]Gen. 7:7-10[/url]), so those clinging to the cross of Christ must enter Heaven seven years before God's judgment is completed.  Noah entered through a single, wooden door in the ark.  We must enter through a door into Heaven by means of a wooden cross:


I know your works.  Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name... Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.  I am coming soon.   Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown.
- [url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Rev 3.8]Revelation 3:8[/url], [url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Revelation 3.10-11]10-11[/url]

And


After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven!  And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, 'Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.'
- [url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Rev 4.1]Revelation 4:1[/url]
How do you enter through this heavenly door?


'Let not your hearts be troubled.  Believe in God; believe also in me.  In my Father's house are many rooms.  If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.  And you know the way to where I am going.'  Thomas said to him, 'Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?'  Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me.'
- [url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/John 14.1-6]John 14:1-6[/url]

Let there be no doubt that in John 14 Jesus is speaking about the fulfillment of a prophecy first written over 700 years earlier by the prophet Isaiah:


Like a pregnant woman
  who writhes and cries out in her pangs
  when she is near to giving birth,
so were we because of you, O Lord;
  we were pregnant, we writhed,
  but we have given birth to wind.
We have accomplished no deliverance in the earth,
  and the inhabitants of the world have not fallen.
Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise.
  You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy!
For your dew is a dew of light,
  and the earth will give birth to the dead.

Come, my people, enter your chambers,
  and shut your doors behind you;
hide yourselves for a little while
  until the fury has passed by.

For behold, the Lord is coming out from his place
  to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity,
and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it,
  and will no more cover its slain.
- [url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Isa 26.17-21]Isaiah 26:17-21[/url]

God's children are raised to life and then hidden away behind closed doors before God's judgment is unleashed upon the earth.  The door into Heaven is Jesus:

I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
- [url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/John 10.9]John 10:9[/url]

There are two groups of people that still haven't boarded the ark of Christ.  Both groups are unbelievers, but some claim to know Christ.  They are the lawless and the legalists.  Both reject the atonement that Jesus offered on their behalf.  Both bring a strange fire before the altar of God and offer only the fruit of their own labors rather than the Lamb of God.  All it takes to board the ark is a saving faith in Jesus Christ and the humility to recognize your personal need for what only God can provide.  Sadly, surveys now show that a great many Christians have abandoned their hope and are trying to enter Heaven by their own effort.  This is an apostasy even worse than homosexuality or worldliness, because this apostasy negates grace ([url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Acts 13.39]Acts 13:39[/url], [url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Rom. 3.20]Rom. 3:20[/url], [url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Rom 3.28]3:28[/url], [url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Rom 11.6]11:6[/url], [url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Gal. 2.16]Gal. 2:16[/url]).
When God's children are taken from the earth, the greatest heartache will be felt by those who thought they knew the LORD and who were prophesying, casting out demons, and doing many mighty works, but who had never entered God's rest ([url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Matt. 7.21-23]Matt. 7:21-23[/url], [url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Heb. 3.7-4.16]Heb. 3:7-4:16[/url], [url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Heb 9.11-28]9:11-28[/url]).  They rejected God's grace - knowingly or unknowingly, it won't much matter at that point.  Remember that the wicked and lawless people of Sodom will certainly suffer a future judgment, but the judgment of the self-righteous religious hypocrites will be far, far worse ([url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Matt. 11.23-24]Matt. 11:23-24[/url], [url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Matt 23.15]23:15[/url], [url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Matt 23.33]23:33[/url], [url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/John 5.39]John 5:39[/url]).

The message is the same for all - for the prostitutes and junkies, the homosexuals and pornographers, the liars and slanderers, the self-righteous and prideful, the hypocrites and Pharisees: repent (change your mind) and believe the Good News!  God loves you in your present state ([url=https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Rom 5.8]Romans 5:8[/url]), but He will not force Himself on you.  You MUST repent and come to Him to receive the grace that only He offers.


The door to the ark is closing fast.  Get on board now.

“Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.
12:35 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
14:55 Discusses the last trump, says the Sanhedrin will not blow last trump, God may do it (?)

My heart goes out to you, believing body of Christ. I know each of you have been ridiculed, laughed at and scorned. Would you picture it any other way? I feel as though this is only more convincing of it's authenticity. God using "nobody's" (in the eyes of the world and church) to spread his Word and message.

Brad shared some personal thoughts and Scripture on the soon to be fulfilled Rev 12 sign. Just what many of us need. 

Here is the link to the article : https://rev12daily.blogspot.com/2017/09/god-to-rescue-personal-thoughts-while.html

His prayer:

Dear Father,
  
Thank you for leading us to this point.
Thank you for washing us in Christ's precious blood to make us clean.
We are so ready to see you, Lord Jesus.
Please do a great work for the sake of Your Great Name.

We are convinced this is the great sign, Lord.
You have promised that You are coming, it seems to be quite soon.
The signs are all around us, Jesus, they proclaim you are near!
If its not this weekend, I guess 'quite soon' will have to do.

If you delay it will be hard on so many of us, Lord.
Help us all seek and feel your presence during this time that seems so late.
Please Lord, Come quickly!  We have such a longing to see you!
But may Your perfect will be done, not ours. 
(Even so, please protect us while we wait.)

In Jesus' Name,
Amen


So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
1 Peter 5:6-7

What should I be doing? Looking up!  Thanks Tryph for this link.  http://www.astronomy.com/observing/sky-this-week/2017/09/the-sky-this-week-for-september-15-to-24


Thursday, September 21
Although you can’t see the Moon around its New phase, its absence from the morning sky these next two weeks provides observers with an excellent opportunity to view the zodiacal light. From the Northern Hemisphere, early autumn is the best time for viewing this elusive glow before sunrise. It appears slightly fainter than the Milky Way, so you’ll need a clear moonless sky and an observing site located far from the city. Look for a cone-shaped glow that points nearly straight up from the eastern horizon shortly before morning twilight begins (around 5 a.m. local daylight time at mid-northern latitudes). The Moon remains out of the morning sky until October 4, when the waxing gibbous world returns and overwhelms the much fainter zodiacal light.

Rev 12 Sign, What should I be doing Lord? - Page 3 Empty Look up! Our redemption is drawing near...

Post by Tryphosa Fri Sep 22 2017, 08:15

Look up! Our redemption is drawing near...
Homework- Anakypto Forum


This world is clearly on a trajectory to judgment.  This is no longer a "gloom and doom" message from kooks or religious fanatics; it's the sober assessment of politicians, industry leaders, economists, theologians, scientists… name an area of professional expertise, and you will find intelligent men and women who have studied the implications of cultural change, technological development, medicine and politics and the like, and have concluded that a crisis of literally "Biblical proportions" is now unavoidable.

For seven years beginning in June 2009, this site supported a daily podcast focusing on current events and Biblical prophecy.  Today, the remaining pieces of the prophetic picture are falling into place rapidly and unmistakeably.  We no longer need information; indeed, the average American is "over-informationized" to the point of stupefaction.  What we need now is BOLDNESS - informed and energized disciples of Jesus Christ who will put Him first and extend His offer of reconciliation with God to a deceived and despairing world.

The purpose now is helping every serious Christian prepare for the return of Jesus Christ in order to give Him the bride He deserves.  We don't need more "head knowledge" - the Judgment Seat of Christ is not a written test.  Rather, we need energized believers who will apply what they already know, in the world where we all have been sent.  This is not a time for Bible studies; it's a time for obedience.

One might ask, How does someone prepare for something as cataclysmic as divine judgment against the whole country?  Here's how:



  1. First, this is NOT a time to panic.  We have known for 2000 years that Jesus was going to return, set up His kingdom, and judge the earth.




  1. Get your spiritual house in order.  REPENT.  This means align your life with the law of God.  Where you have sinned, you must acknowledge your sin, confess it to God, and make restitution where-ever possible and AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  If you are unclear or unsure of your own eternal destiny, take the Trip to Truth spiritual roadmap - make your calling and election sure.


  2. OBEY - Every person who was saved in the Church Age repented, confessed, was baptized, and submitted to the Lordship of Christ in ALL of life.  If you are not living in newness of life, it's because you are not reconciled to God through Jesus Christ.  Do yourself (and your loved ones!) a favor:  turn off the TV, take out the trash (foul books, music, videos, etc.) and get your heart right before God.  DO NOT PUT THIS OFF.  Don't trifle with God, His law, or His offer of salvation.  He WILL preserve you if your belief is evidenced by obedience, hatred of sin, holy living, and love of the brethren.

  3. Jesus said He would come quickly, and we believe (with good reason!) that He is coming soon.  Please consider the evidence and come to your own prayerful conclusions, and then demonstrate in your life what is that "good and acceptable and perfect will of God." (Romans 12:2)

It was said to stop grasping at straws, the Lord has it figured out.  But I believer He does not mind us to continually search for Him (or His handiwork)  as we have come thus far. Jerry Toney said somethings that won't leave me alone, that the barley harvest in Israel was late this year, here is his video, he starts to recap at about 25 min (if one is short on time)

It is NOT just the new moon that sets the calendar and the Feast Days. It is also the Barley harvest. 5777 follows a leap year and 1 month was added to the calendar by God. Israel is not following the Word of God but the calendar of the World.

Rev 12 Sign, What should I be doing Lord? - Page 3 Empty Will You Wrestle with God?

Post by Tryphosa Sun Oct 15 2017, 11:04

Will You Wrestle with God?

What do you really need from God right now? What blessing do you want from him? How badly do you want it?

There are times when God only releases his blessings on us after a season of prolonged and even painful wrestling with him.

The Strangest Wrestling Match in History

In Genesis 32, Jacob is on his way back home to Canaan with his small tribe of wives and children after a 20-year sojourn in Paddan-aram. And he is scared to death, because his estranged brother, Esau, is coming to meet him — with 400 men (Genesis 32:6). This is no welcome party; it’s an army.

So after splitting up his household into two camps to try and avoid complete annihilation, Jacob, understandably suffering insomnia, intends to spend the night alone — no doubt in desperate prayer.

But a strange man who shows up and wrestles Jacob till daybreak rudely interrupts his plans. At some point during this weird contest Jacob realizes that he is wrestling God. And when God decides it’s time to end the match, he dislocates Jacob’s hip and demands to be released. And Jacob, in significant pain, replies, “I will not let you go unless you bless me” (Genesis 32:26).

This response clearly pleases God, who pronounces this blessing on Jacob: “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob [deceiver], but Israel [strives with God], for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed” (Genesis 32:28).

Jacob then limps toward his tense reunion with Esau with a weakened body and a strengthened faith. Having wrestled with God, he knows his prayers regarding Esau will be answered.

Multiple Blessings Came Through the Wrestling

Take note of what God did when he wrestled Jacob. Jacob began the night dreading Esau’s arrival. He was full of fear and desperation. But he ended the night of struggle with God’s blessing and a renewed faith. All of our struggling with God in faith leads to peace.

And isn’t it interesting that God did not simply speak to Jacob in a dream or vision as he had at other times (Genesis 31:13) and reiterate his promise and speak comforting words? This time God addressed Jacob’s fear by requiring him to wrestle all night. This probably felt to Jacob like a badly timed hassle when he just wanted comfort and assurance. But later he realized just how comforting it was. Sometimes when we want God’s comfort, he sends it in unexpected and even unwanted packages.

God even afflicted Jacob with a debilitating injury. This had the effect of making Jacob even more vulnerable to Esau, forcing Jacob’s faith to more fully rest on God and not himself. If necessary, God will cause us to limp to increase our faith.

Lastly, wrestling with God changed Jacob’s identity. He was no longer to be known as one who received his blessing by deception. This time he received God’s blessing by prevailing with God by faith. This struggle turned out to be a profoundly gracious gift of restoration that God gave Jacob, not unlike the gift Jesus gave Peter by letting Peter affirm his love for Jesus as many times as he had denied it (John 21:15–17). Jacob’s tenacious faith pleased God and he rewarded Jacob’s request (Hebrews 11:6). When God calls us to wrestle with him, there’s always more going on than we first understand and God always uses it to transform us for good.

God Is Not Reluctant to Bless You

When God makes us wrestle him for some blessing(s), it is not because God is reluctant to bless us, even if that’s how it first feels. It is because he has more blessings for us in the wrestling than without it.

Remember, God pursued Jacob for this match. God was the initiator. Jacob was stewing in his own anxiety over Esau and his approaching slaughter squad when God showed up. And the wrestling drew Jacob out of his fearful preoccupation and forced him to focus on God.

I doubt at first that Jacob wanted this forced focus or even believed he needed it. It wouldn’t surprise me if at the beginning Jacob had prayed, “God would you get rid of this guy? This is the last thing I need right now.” But what he discovered was that the wrestling was a means of God’s grace, a channel for God’s blessing on him.

The same is true for us.

Do Not Let God Go Until He Blesses You!

So I’ll ask again. What do you really need from God right now? What blessing do you want from him? How badly do you want it?

God will meet you in your anguish, fear, and uncertainty. But he may not meet you in the way you expect or desire. Your greatest ally may show up looking at first like your adversary, inciting you to wrestle with him.

If so, remember Jacob. There are multiple blessings in the wrestling. You may not need soft words of comfort, you may not need to be left alone with your thoughts, you may not need sleep, you may not even need a healthy hip! What you need is God’s blessing!

So when God calls you to wrestle with him in prayer, it is an invitation to receive his blessing. Stay with him and don’t give up. Do not let him go until he blesses you! He loves to bless that kind of tenacious faith and you will come out transformed.

Rev 12 Sign, What should I be doing Lord? - Page 3 Empty The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree ~ Luke 13:6-9

Post by Tryphosa Sun Apr 22 2018, 11:48

Thought this parable from Luke is interesting, perhaps this indicates waiting a year?? One realizes we won't know until we know, but piqued my interest nonetheless.

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree

6 He also spoke this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?’ 8 But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. 9 And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down.’” Luke 13:6-9

I am aware that the fig tree is Israel, but I am just reading the plain and simple text in this parable.
