Hey @papa-pepper glad to see you getting into Eschatology. Not many pastors want to wade into this area. I went to the bible college I went to because it was one of the few places that dared to be anything other than a pan-Millenialist (that's someone who doesn't care about bible prophecy but believes everything will pan out in the end LOL). Revelation is one of my favorite books in the Bible.
Most christians still dont believe that they will face persecution, they have this thinking, that only non-christians face persecution. All true christians will face persecution, even Jesus Christ said it - Matthew 10:22,23. And like you said, "if you are not being persecuted, you probably are not living a godly life".
I used to try to figure out @steemtruth which position does the best justice to scriptures and have concluded that the one that best fits is Preterism. I found 22 statements in the NT to the effect that Jesus and his apostles all expected him to return in their lifetime. If they were correct (and who's going to say Jesus was mistaken?) then we need to understand HOW he returned, wouldn't you think?
This is really good and I think if I read this everyday it will surely add some value to my life but papa can you talk about hope, repentance and charity
I will share a quick comment on repentance if that's ok? The word repent has been widely misinterpreted.
Repent has two meanings
Remorse, to be sorry
Change of mind or turn around
You will not find the words 'repent of sin' mentioned anywhere in the bible. You will find the word repent many times but not repent of sin.
God repented more than any other individual in the KJV bible (35 times). What did God need to repent for if it means to repent from sin? Did God need to repent and be saved?
These are very logical questions to ask!
Repent does not mean to stop sinning or turn from sin.
False teachers have added 'of sin' to the end of 'repent' - but 'repent of sin' is not found once in the bible.
In the context of salvation - repent means to turn from unbelief to belief i.e change your mind. It could be argued that it has the double meaning of also being remorseful/sorry for being a sinner. But the core meaning is to repent from unbelief to belief and when you do that you are saved.
If people want to believe that it means 'repent of sin' they need to explain why God repented more than anyone else in the bible? They also need to explain why 'repent of sin' is not found in the bible?
@papa-pepper, I have a feeling that if I take my time to read from the beginning of these series downwards that my making heaven would be sure and guaranteed. I am going to try my best to check out the posts...but right now, i have to get back to my web design job. Great job by the way!
Great job @papa-pepper people need this spiritual readings since most are no longer reading the Holy scriptures because of the new technology that have been taking up most of our time. By the series of your posts, still we will be reminded of our temporary existence in this world. Thank you and keep it up.
Love it. Glory to the lord... Let your light shine brother. Blessings.
Matthew 5:15-16 English Standard Version (ESV)
15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that[a] they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
thanks for the video as it gonna help we people understand this more. Every religion shows people the right path as I believe in Quran as a Muslim ummah of Muhammad and only believer of only God Allah!
I will be attentive to your audio and video, truly in the scriptures the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ is prophesied. He is our guide and our pastor, we must be prepared. A hug
"This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.

drunken was being part of the things that will be done by some people might be pointing to the fact that they will keep merrying cos in the Jewish custom, wine signifies life and Must be present at every ceremony

I’m always watching and looking for signs of His return...
Moar like this!
