Re: Jesus is Returning Sooner than You Think!!
Yes, I definitely am as it was revealed to me by the Lord. I may not have ALL of the answers, but that's one thing I'm sure of. A Daily News Reporter would not believe what I had to say in NYC, Manhattan, so the Lord told me to write him and tell him that God would send 7 inches of snow on his Daily News Building within 48 hours of him receiving my letter. I have the letter. It has the ABC-TV logo on it because that's where I worked at the time. I also have a copy of the New York Post's article on the 7 inches of snow happening. Every time the devil bugs me too much or if I need a secure true answer from the Lord, He sends rain, snow, even earthquakes and tidal waves, and tornadoes, to help me. This is been happening to me for a long time now and I appreciate it. It is one of the very few things I have.Good to hear from you! Yes, I was told about Hollywood in a vision, by an angel. I was pale as a ghost when I came out of the out-of-body experience and my countenance was changed indeed. I'm sure I was still pale 3 hours later when my boss got in to work and saw me, but I had to keep what happened to myself. Some of my experiences and visions, I keep to myself, and some I share. I have many things I could share with you, but you are not yet able to bear them. Anyway, certainly not on a public chat board where even children might read about them.
Hi MC. Yes, Hollywood, that is indeed one sinfull City. May its shamefullness and nakedness be exposed!!!!
Nahum 3:4 Because of the multitude of harlotries of the seductive harlot, The mistress of sorceries, Who sells nations through her harlotries, And families through her sorceries. 5 " Behold, I [am] against you," says the LORD of hosts; "I will lift your skirts over your face, I will show the nations your nakedness, And the kingdoms your shame. 6 I will cast abominable filth upon you, Make you vile, And make you a spectacle.

I believe you and MC should get together on this. Hollywood could indeed be Babylon, as they are recrucifying Christ again and again by their Harlotries. Since the 2 witnesses lie in "spiritual" Sodom and Egypt, it would be a city like Sodom{New York/Hollywood} and a country like Egypt{New York/California}. I felt it might symbolically be Israel and Jerusalem since a temple of God is mentioned and the only place I know of where the temple of God was, was in Jerusalem.
Anyway, I am anxious to here more of your visions as it sure beats those of the ones of the "Left Behind" books.
reve 11:7 When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies [will lie] in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom[Jerualem/New York City/Hollywood] and Egypt[Israel/New York/California], where also our Lord was crucified.

Hi, I hope everyone is amusing themselves with my testimonies. Actually, I don't hope it. I was told that Phoenix was spiritually like Egypt, and that is where these two 'prophets' or 'witnesses' shall be killed by the devil, after he makes war with them for as long as The Father will allow. I am tired, is all that I know, but I will bear whatever cup My Father asks of me, though not as I would have, but as He would have. I am years over being tired with having Satan fight with me, but I have remained strong and sane, and my countenance is withstanding all of the obstacles that the devil does try to put me through. I sure do feel that once the Lord God takes me to heaven, there is little chance that Satan will be able to cause me to fall from it. I've gone through everything he's dished out, and I know I have to go through even more for the 3 and 1/2 days after I die, once I am in hell fighting with the devil. But I will overcome the devil and death and hell, God Willing, and I put my trust in Him and His Ability to hold onto my heart and hands.
Well, should close for now. If you all cannot hear or bear my testimony or words now, how shall you be able to deal with the devil?? I know the answer. It is because God will further take care of you, just as He had me.
Bye and God's Best,
Michael

Re: Jesus is Returning Sooner than You Think!!
Micheal, that is one very sad testamony. I do not know if you have heard or not but we are now in the new heaven and earth where God's presences now indwells us. The great tibulation occured three and a half years before Jerusalem was destroyed in AD 70 when Jesus appeared in the clouds to execute judgment and destroy Satan and then set up His Kingdom which is unobservable.

Re: Jesus is Returning Sooner than You Think!!
Okay now I know where you are coming from, you are saying that you are one of the two witnesses of Revelation 11, so please read this artical.

The Two Witnesses of Revelation
By Stephen Smith
We can all agree that there is nothing in the Apocalypse, nor in any of John’s other writings, that can’t be found elsewhere in Scripture. All of the imagery is a compilation of threads of prophecies from the Old Covenant, woven together into a new garment. It all looks very familiar, even if there are some slight variations here and there.
And in that day the Lord GOD of hosts called for weeping and for mourning, for baldness and for girding with sackcloth (Isaiah 22:12)
O daughter of my people, dress in sackcloth and roll about in ashes! Make mourning as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the plunderer will suddenly come upon us (Jeremiah 6:26).
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground and keep silence; they throw dust on their heads and gird themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem bow their heads to the ground (Lamentations 2:10).
The thread of judgment on Israel, found in the Old Covenant, is woven together in the Apocalypse so that it is applicable to John’s day, but the same kind of destruction is in view. The symbolism of sackcloth refers to the intense grief of the recipients of such judgment and is found in the New Covenant, as well. To continue:
One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established (Deuteronomy 19:15).
“You are My witnesses,” says the Lord, “and My servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no savior. I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, and there was no foreign god among you; therefore you are My witnesses,” says the Lord, “that I am God. Indeed before the day was, I am He; and there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?” (Isaiah 43:10-13)
Israel was the witness to the fact of God’s power and the works that He had done, since He had delivered them from Egypt with “a mighty hand.”
The House of Judah was composed of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin (I Kings 12:21; II Chronicles 11:12); the tribe of Levi also eventually sided with the House of Judah, having been rejected as priests by the rulers of the House of Israel (II Chronicles 11:13-14).
The ten tribes (I Kings 11:31, 35) which composed the House of Israel were the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, Reuben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Simeon, Issachar, Zebulun, and Dan. Those ten northern tribes were led by the tribe of Ephraim, which was given Israel’s blessing on his deathbed (Genesis 48:14-22).
Israel, as a two-kingdom nation is in view in the Book of Revelation. The simile extends further, when certain symbolic images, taken from the Old Covenant, are described.
These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands standing before the God of the earth (Revelation 11:4).
The two witnesses are symbolically called “two olive trees” and also “two lamp stands.” The prophecies of Jeremiah and Zechariah are applicable here:
The Lord called your name, Green Olive Tree, lovely and of good fruit. With the noise of a great tumult He has kindled fire on it, and its branches are broken. For YHWH SABAOTH, who planted you, has pronounced doom against you for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke Me to anger in offering incense to Baal (Jeremiah 11:16-17).
And I further answered and said to him, “What are these two olive branches that drip into the receptacles of the two gold pipes from which the golden oil drains?” Then he answered me and said, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.” So he said, “These are the two anointed ones, who stand beside the Lord of the whole earth.” (Zechariah 4:12-14)
So, there is a clear connection between Israel/Judah and the two witnesses.
Hosea prophesied many years before the House of Israel fell to the Assyrians (circa 721 B.C.E.). While he wrote to the House of Judah and the House of Israel in his prophecies, he primarily directed his message to the House of Israel, or Ephraim.
Illustrating the House of Israel’s rebellion, the Lord God commanded Hosea to marry a temple prostitute (Hosea 1:2). Note that there were no “street walkers” in the ancient world. Every temple of Baal or any “high place” of Ashtoreth employed prostitutes as priestesses. The prostitute bore three children and God told Hosea to name them symbolically. The children were named Jezreel (“God sows”), Lo-Ruhamah (“no mercy”), and Lo-Ammi (“no people”). The three names described God’s punishment on the Tribes of Israel, as He explained to Hosea.
Jezreel represented God’s sowing of the House of Israel among the pagan nations of the earth after being carried away into captivity by the Assyrians (Hosea 8:8; Zechariah 10:7-10). The name, Lo-Ruhamah meant that God would no longer have mercy upon the House of Israel and He sent the Assyrians to take them captive because of their sins (Hosea 1:6). Lo-Ammi illustrated the loss of national identity that Israel experienced. After they were conquered, the Diaspora lost the knowledge of who they were. They eventually came to view themselves as “gentiles.”
Romans chapter eleven identifies Judah and Israel as “natural” and “wild,” signifying their dissection and their dissimilar experiences. Judah was domestic and Israel had become feral.
And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree (Romans 11:17a).
For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob” (Romans 11:24-26).
So, Paul is following right along with John and the Old Covenant prophets who identified Israel and Judah with the Jews and gentiles.
The “natural” olive tree depicts the House of Judah, upon which the early Assembly (Greek: EKKLESIA) was built, since Jesus had said, “salvation is of the Jews” (John 4:22). Paul depicts the Jews who rejected the Messiah as branches broken off from the “natural root” because they did not believe.
God told Hosea that He was going to cut-off the House of Israel because of their sins (Hosea 1:6). However, He said that He would not divorce the House of Judah (Hosea 1:7), although their later sins were more despicable than those of Israel (Ezekiel 23:11). God punished them, but never “put them away.”
Paul understood that the Greeks and the uncircumcised that he was evangelizing were, in fact, descendants of the ten lost tribes.
Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was the Messiah. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness (I Corinthians 10:1-5).
Paul is writing to a group of former pagans (I Corinthians 12:2). Yet, in using the example of the Israelites that had come out of Egypt, he refers to them as “our fathers” (I Corinthians 10:1). And he didn’t mean “fathers” in a spiritual sense. Those who had rebelled against God in the desert are the ones in view, here, so Paul means that those rebels were the Corinthians’ physical fathers.
I do need to bring up a few more points about the Jews and gentiles, since I believe that the final analysis of the Two Witnesses will bear upon the concept.
And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers. To this promise our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God night and day, hope to attain. For this hope’s sake, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews (Acts 26:6).
Since the restoration had not been accomplished in Acts 26, then the “twelve tribes” he refers to must have included the scattered Israelites!
In the opening words of his letter, James addressed the body of believers, both Jews and “gentiles.”
James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes that are scattered abroad: Greetings (James 1:1).
Once more, the restoration of the Kingdom had not yet occurred, so there were no “twelve tribes” except in terms of the Diaspora who had forgotten they were even Jews and considered themselves to be no different than their neighbors. That’s one of the reasons Paul has such difficulty keeping them out of the pagan temples and practicing things that “were not seemly.”
Foreign people, not of Abraham’s lineage, have been included in the Assembly since the beginning (Exodus 12:38; Isaiah 56:3-8). God has always allowed “strangers” to become part of His chosen people. But, those who were called by God to the Messiah (John 6:44, 65) were physical Israelites, both from the House of Judah (the “natural” olive) and the House of Israel (the “wild” olive). Those two olive trees are the two witnesses of Revelation 11 and not Moses, Elijah or any other person – dead or alive at the time.
Don't be deceived by futureism MichaelCadry, all scripture was fulfilled in AD 70, Luke 21:22.

Dear Hidden Manna,
I agree with all of your scriptural references, but I do not agree with you. So hopefully, we can agree to disagree, and remain friends. Of course I consider everything in the scriptures to be true, but if everything was done in 70 A.D., where is Jesus' Second Coming in all of that?? And so very much more. Like the entire book of Revelation and Daniel. Was the latter days in 70A.D.?? C'mon!

Dear Hidden Manna,
I do thank you very, very much for posting though. Even if we can't agree we can still be friends. Time's passing will show the truth, so it doesn't have to keep us from being acquaintances. I am a 49 year old male, gonna b 50 on Oct. 12, (Columbus Day). I have worked at ABC-TV, CBS TV & Records, and the United Nations FPG (Funds for Populated Growth, a financial help to other nations). I've also worked at General Electric Carboloy Division as a technical editor and writer, among many other things. I type 120 wpm on the computer, 103 wpm on an IBM Selectric. w/3 mistakes. I'm just trying to tell you some things about me. Now please share some things about yourself with me/us. I don't know you yet. I am new here. I don't want to just keep talking about myself or Revelations all the time. Be friendly and tell me some things about you. It might help me understand you better too.
May God's Peace and Strength Be With You in Truth,

Re: Jesus is Returning Sooner than You Think!!
In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus points to the temple and great buildings and says, “not one stone shall be left upon one another, that shall not be thrown down (Matt. 24:1-3; Mark 13:1-4; Luke 21:5-7). The disciples respond by asking two questions: 1) When will these things take place? And 2) What will be the sign of Your coming and the end of the age?
Originally posted by MichaelCadry
This refers to the destruction upon Jerusalem in 70 AD. Matthew 24:1-3 expressly refers solely to the destruction of the temple and Christ’s return at the end of the Jews age. The reference to the “end of the world,” in that scripture is literally translated “end of the age.” The Jewish age ended at the destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple. “Jesus does not change subjects when the disciples ask the question when will these things take place? What things? The things about the Temple Jesus just mentioned in verse 1.
Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down.” As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?” (Matthew 24:1-3)
As Jesus’ disciples had just heard His prediction of “desolation” for the temple and city, they no doubt felt bewildered and wondered, “Lord, you cannot mean this temple!” They must have been astonished when Jesus told them that the temple was going to be destroyed, with not one stone left upon another. The disciples’ question involved three interrelated events: (1) the time of the temple’s destruction; (2) the signs that would signal Jesus’ Coming; and (3) the sign that would bring about the end of the age, compare parallel passages in Mark 13:4 and Luke 21:7. The disciples’ questions were related to the destruction of the temple and the end of the Jewish economy and to nothing else. There is no basis for a 2000-year “gap theory.”
Most carnal Bible interpreters think that the disciples wanted to know about the end of the planet. But the disciples did not ask about the end of the “world” (Gk. kosmos). Rather, with the temple and city as their main focus, they asked about the end of the “age” (Gk. aion). In Strong’s exhaustive concordance, it says of the word aion, “spec. (Jewish) a Messianic period (present).”
In Luke 21:20 we have other details of this predicted overthrow of the city and the Temple. There Jesus adds, “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near.”
Then in verses 27-28 Jesus also goes on to says; then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
How many times have you heard in sermons that we have been redeemed? There is even a songs about it, “Redeemed, How I Love To Proclaim It, Since I Have Been Redeemed, Victory In Jesus” just to name a few. If the first century Christians were waiting to be redeemed, then we should be waiting to be redeemed if Jesus has not returned, in order to be consistent with the Bible. Futurists and here is a question for you. What and when is the “day of redemption”? Why do you teach something that goes against the word of God? See comments in Hebrews 9:28.
As long as the earthly Temple was still standing the way for man back into God’s eternal presence was Not open or manifested as Hebrews 9:8 clearly says. the Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing.
If Christ has not come, then we are still waiting to be individually redeemed from our sins. Luke 21:28 “When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
It is time to get back to the clear teaching in the Bible

Oh In Christ Always,
I'm not sure I should declare to you the mystery of God until it is made known to you by Himself. Seven thunders uttered their voices, and I was about to write, and they were put under lock and key. But I will tell you One of the mysteries of God, and you and all on this theologyweb will not believe and will despise me. Nevertheless, I do it.
Just as the angels have the stars as heavenly bodies to live on, and just as us here on earth who go to heaven will be given a heavenly body to dwell within, so then does the Lord God have a heavenly body that He dwells in. It circles us roughly every 24 hours. It is His Great White Throne, namely our own Moon, which has a 'man in the moon' having two eyes and a nose and a mouth. But only the purest in heart shall He reveal His Face to, except for during Armaggedon, when His face shall have an angry stance and He shall reveal Himself to the earth's people. He is that great, white throne in the heavens when the clouds scrolled together. What did you all expect...a great, white chair??? How blaise. Do not worship the moon, but worship God instead, regardless of what is revealed to you.
I will tell you this mystery also. The lake of fire is our sun. Not during this resurrection, but in the very end of the next resurrection, the sun will explode and be a lake of fire, and the false prophet and the antichrist shall be cast there, where Lucifer already is. And Satan will be cast there also.
These are heavy secrets that I should not have told you, but you asked. Believe or don't believe. It is not my problem. No, the earth shall still be here after this first coming resurrection when Jesus returns, and man shall live again on this earth and lay under a tree without fear of being attacked by another man or a beast. And the lion shall lie down with the lamb.
Please don't ask me anymore dire secrets, cause you all will just despise me because of my answers. Remember, I've asked you this.
To The Holiest of Holies, Our God and His Redeemer, Christ,
MichaelCadry

You say the sun will be the lake of fire. There is a big problem with this, when a star blows up the fire goes out as all stars that have blown up before. But the lake of fire burns forever, so if the sun "star" blow up how could it then burn forever.

Read and study the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus along with Jeremiah 17 and you will understand the "lake of fire" better.
Jeremiah 17:1 "The sin of Judah [is] written with a pen of iron; With the point of a diamond [it is] engraved On the tablet of their heart, And on the horns of your altars, 2 While their children remember Their altars and their wooden images By the green trees on the high hills. 3 O My mountain in the field, I will give as plunder your wealth, all your treasures, [And] your high places of sin within all your borders. 4 And you, even yourself, Shall let go of your heritage which I gave you; And I will cause you to serve your enemies In the land which you do not know; For you have kindled a fire in My anger [which] shall burn forever."

Dear InChrist,
The lake of fire is not on earth. Do you know of one?? No, it's our sun, whether it explodes or not. It even says in Revelation 20:13, that the sea gave up the dead in her, and death and hell gave up the dead there, and they were ALL judged according to their works. So it is even possible that some of those in hell could be excused and go to heaven, because their sins are not as grievous as the people who sin now.
Got to run.
God Bless Ya and Be With You,
MichaelCadry
