Amen to this post - it is so true of the current state of most Christians.
If these Christians have committed offenses such as rudeness, condescension towards others they perceive as inferior, and pride in accomplishments and admiration from people who do not see the real them, how would God think of them? Moreover, if God sees their hearts filled with arrogance while everyone else sees them as righteous and “flawless,” how would this be evaluated by God in terms of salvation?
Sometimes I think there are a few types of people in terms of Christians and considering the current state of the world:
1. Someone is born, raised, and taught Christian values and remains loyal to the Lord their whole life - Very Rare 2. Someone is like Number 1 above but at some point gives in to the pressures and temptations of life and turns away from God - Likely Very Common 3. Someone is taught the ways of the world (non-Christian morals and values) but eventually comes to Christ and remains loyal - Likely Rare 4. Someone is like Number 3, committed offenses (mistreating and slandering people as an example) without a shred of remorse and remains godless (while self-claiming the opposite) and unrepentant their whole life - Very Common
Do you think the above represents the types of people nowadays? If only Numbers 1 and 4 are switched, imagine how much the world would be. This does not really matter much anymore because God has promised a world where such attributes will never again exist. Come quickly Lord Jesus, Amen!
As I was reading your list, the Lord reminded me of the parable of the sower in Matthew 13 where the farmer scattered seed across 4 different types of ground. I believe this is a perfect representation of the world. Some people hear the Gospel, but reject it and Satan takes away their seed. Others hear it, receive it, but then get swept away with the pleasures of sin. Another group hears it but get entangled with the worries and struggles of this world and they produce no fruit. And the last group where the seed falls on good soil, they mature and grow in Christ and produce much fruit. Remember the Lord told us we can tell Christians by their fruit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness) and whether they are led by the Holy Spirit or by their flesh. There are many tares among the wheat. I would guess more tares than actual wheat these days. Be wise as serpents and gentle as doves and don't cast your pearls before swine. Blessings!
This is a very sad truth of Christians in these times. It is hard to believe so many have been led astray. Even though we all have free will to choose whether to believe in Jesus, does God know everyone’s life story before they are even born? Based on the samples that the previous commenter above indicated, would God already know who will be loyal to Him and who would not during the course of their lives?
I remember hearing sometime back then that the Red Heifer sacrifice would possibly take place around Passover of this year. However, there have not been any news of the event - could it be that it got postponed in view of the ongoing war in Israel and increasing tensions around the world? Would it have to happen before or after the Rapture? Maybe as long as it happens prior to the midpoint of the Tribulation, it probably does not matter when?
I read in an article before that God has the ability to possibly postpone the Rapture and Tribulation if He feels graceful to allow more time for more people to come to Him. I immediately thought this is not a credible statement, for God has appointed times for those events to take place and would not change them, even if things somehow do get a lot better in the world. Also, I did not see any other article or website that made the same claim, so I feel convinced it is not a true notion. What are your thoughts on this statement?
On the recent news, the current administration froze funding for Harvard University, for which notable medical achievements and breakthroughs have taken place, while citing antisemitic views and liberal ideologies. Isn’t this another stage of the agenda to continue “destroying” assets in addition to government dismantling, mass firings/layoffs, tariff impositions, and deportations to make way for the Beast system?
Blessings Sister for the quote and continuous messages from the Lord. Take care and God bless!
God is outside of time so yes, He already knew before we were born whether we would accept Him or not. However, that doesn't mean that we don't have our free will and our choice in this life. He just knows what we will do. It's hard to wrap your head around it because we don't know anything but time. The Red Heifers must be sacrificed before October when they will turn 4 years old and will not be eligible. So, yes, I believe that either they already have been sacrificed or will be soon. We are not hearing news about it because it was this very thing that caused the October 7th attack on Israel. The muslims cannot allow these heifers to be sacrificed and the temple rebuilt Yes, God can do anything, but He has already appointed a time for everything, including the rapture and the Tribulation. There is a Scripture in Revelation which speaks of releasing the angels at the Euphrates at the appointed time. Rev 9:15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. So we see here that God already appointed this hour, day, month and year. So, no, He is not going to change anything. As far as I know Harvard is a wicked place that indoctrinates students, but yes, some good comes out of it too. Anything the Trump administration is doing now is leading toward the destruction of the US and the rising of the Beast System. Blessings!
