Jesus is Returning Sooner than You Think!!

[MichaelCadry]

Dear InChristAlways,

Thanks so much for your recent post. You've got my testimony narrowed down a bit, but it does say what happened to me. I was recently on TV, Public Access, and sold 15 books. I am also working with ABC-TV to get a story done. I used to work at ABC-TV in Manhattan, NYC, and also CBS TV&Records, also the United Nations. My life has been a full one. I had not many experiences back then, but did share what little had happened to me until then. I worked in the Accounting Dept. at ABC-TV for a Comptroller. Then they gave me a raise and a promotion, but I had to leave because I missed my family so badly in Michigan, so I went there.

Hey we can agree to disagree, can't we? All that I know is I've been honest and am telling the truth. What I've seen and heard, I've witnessed to, and that is my testimony. It would hold up in court, because God would have it be so and won't let me down, so if it comes to that, so be it.

Blessed are those who can believe without seeing...

HI MC. No worries. It depends on what court you bring your testimony to. It just doesn't appear to me to hold up to the "court of Scripture" was all I was implying, but to someone else, it might.
I just saw you use Hosea 2 in reference to Betty Hutton and that seems to be a little farfetched to me. Anyway, be good and the Lord bless you.

And the LoThe second angel visited me exactly one week later and spoke loudly, "Babylon is fallen" and told me about this woman who was an actress named Betty Hutton. rd told me that He had given and taken away her husbands and riches, and that she would turn to Him and called His name Ishri (husband). And the Lord told me that this was written in the book of Hosea chapter 2, that He would do this before the time of the end.

[MichaelCadry]

Dear InChristAlways,

As I live and breathe, have no doubts that Betty Nutton is the woman mentioned of in Hpsea 2. It was told me by an angel and I know it is fact as much as anything I believe. Time will prove all things. Until then, we can only disagree.

Much Love Coming Your Way From God and Jesus,

I will only post this one thought.

Michael,
What ever it is you're trying to do, it needs to stop. This isn't right. Everything you are saying is made up. Now I don't know if your doing this for kicks or have just had some very bad theology taught to you, but this is wrong. Please stop this and don't continue.
I hope that if you truly are seeking God, that you will stop preaching these false things. There are lots of good teachers out there with a firm Biblical stance like Ravi Zacharias, Charles Stanley and Hank Hanagraaff. Learn from them and find a good and healthy church to go to. In fact on Hank Hanagraff's website equip.org he has a pamphlet you can order that's all about finding a healthy church.
Again, I ask you, please stop this and truly seek after God in Truth. I will pray for you that this things will be revealed to you and that you will have full understanding of the True nature of God.

Matthew 24:42-44
"Therefore keep watch, because YOU do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

Matthew 7:15
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves."

Dear Corvx19,

I can understand the way you feel, but I reassure you that I am telling the truth as it happened to me. Why don't we let time's passing prove if I'm right or wrong?? Sound good?? I know of what I speak yet you are kept in the dark for some reason. God works in mysterious ways, and it IS HARD to believe what I say. So don't feel forclempt or non-plussed.

Many God Things Come Your Way,

I wish I could let time prove this, but while we're waiting, you're teaching false things and I can't let someone twist the truth. Christ made it clear that none of us would know when the end would come. Even He said that "The Son does not even know." Referring to Himself. Your playing a very dangerous game. I'll take a look at you book the next time I'm at barnes and noble, but I know the Truth and you are twisting it.

God Revealed the Time

For example God reserved the right to reveal the exact day to Noah in his own time. The point that Jesus makes concerning Noah is that the wicked did not know until the flood came and took them away.

What was true of Noah’s day was also true regarding the coming of Christ in A.D.70 at the fall of Jerusalem. “But of that day and hour no one knows, no not even the angels

of heaven, but My Father only” (Matthew 24:36).
This is a earlier stage of the prophecy. The disciples had every right to look for and expect later revelation regarding a more precise time than was given earlier. If not, then the parousia certainly won’t be as the days of Noah.

What futurist miss is it is possible that God later revealed a more precise time for the parousia than “this generation” and “before some died” in the first century? Think about this for a moment. Mark’s account says Jesus did not know the precise time and that only God knew. Mark adds, “nor the Son” (13:32). Man and the angels did not know, only God could make known the precise time.

Now the big question is, “Did God give additional precise revelation regarding the earlier prophecy of Christ’s parousia?”
Not only did God give additional revelation to the Lord, but he also told angels and man (his servants), just as in the days of Noah.
What does the first verse of the “last” book say? “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John” (Revelation 1:1).

Here we see that God gave additional revelation to Christ who did not know earlier the precise time. Christ gave this revelation to the angel (who did not know earlier ) who then gave it to (John who did not know earlier) for the express purpose of showing it to His servants. Man now knew the precise time.

Now what is the subject discussed in that revelation? The angel informs John that these things must shortly take place for the time was at hand (22:6,10). Jesus said, “Behold, I am coming quickly!...And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give every one according to his work...

It is about the things whose time was at hand, and shortly to take place. It is the coming of Christ in clouds (v.7), the end of the delay Surely I am coming quickly” (Revelation 10:7 22:7 12:20), the time that the dead should be judged (11:18; 20:12), the coming of the new heaven and earth (21:1,2).

Jesus knew surely that he was coming quickly and that the time was at hand. Now that is just as it was in the days of Noah, general revelation initially, but precise information near the end!

God gave Noah signs of the coming flood, both general and specific. The general and specific signs were in the lifetime, of the disciples and their generation. They did not have to be a rocket scientist to know that the flood would occur before they died. And don’t forget the ark Jesus.

If the disciples had doubts like (futurist so called PP) today that door to the ark would have shut and the flood would have removed them all. So you see futurist Partial Preterist misrepresented the Full Preterist and the “Orthodox of true Christianity” that was started in the first century.

MC

There is one more thing that I MUST share with you. I was told by an angel that Phoenix is that Valley of Meggido, and that it is spiritually like Sodom and Egypt (Please see Revelation, chapter 11), and that it has the same climate, weather, palm trees and desert plant life, etc. Like Sodom in the fact that they are haughty, and oppress the people here. And I was told that the city, Phoenix, is named after an Egyptian mythological bird called a phoenix who rises from the ashes every 500 years. And I was told that here, there will be an earthquake greater than any on the earth since man has been on earth. This is what I was told, so I share my testimony, and tell you.

Hi MC. They evacuated Phoenix upon hearing your prophecy and moved to Hollywood. Next you said this

Dear Hidden Manna,
I'm not trying to bad-mouth any other Christians, but when you say that Armaggedon happened in 70 A.D., as ICA claims, I can't help but feel like I should be talking with other people about it instead.

My family and my church are supportive and they all have a wait-and-see attitude as to what the near future will bring, but we do know that Jesus is returning very soon. Thanks for asking.
Anyway, I don't know if I've explained this well enough, but I hope so. The woman (city of Hollywood) had lordship over the ten kings of the earth, but some are not kings yet (sins). You must realize that the Bible says that this 'Whore' is that GREAT CITY which reigneth over the kings (sins) of the earth. See Revelation 17:18. It is not a woman or whore, it is talking about a city which is spiritually like ancient Babylon, where adultery, etc. was very common.

So an order was also made to evacuate Hollywood and everyone move to the North Pole. So is there anything about the North Pole they should know about before they move there? I do have a daughter that lives in San Diego and this worried her also as my wife's sister and her husband live in Los Angeles. Thanks and Blessings.

ezekiel 22:17The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 18 "Son of man, the house of Israel [Arizona/California]has become dross to Me; they [are] all bronze, tin, iron, and lead, in the midst of a furnace; they have become dross from silver. 19 "Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: 'Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem[Phoenix/Hollywood]. 20 '[As men] gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to melt [it;] so I will gather [you] in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave [you there] and melt you. 21 'Yes, I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst. 22 'As silver is melted in the midst of a furnace, so shall you be melted in its midst; then you shall know that I, the LORD, have poured out My fury on you.'

"

Prophecy and Vision foretold to End

(Ezekiel 12:22-28) Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? {23} Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. {24} For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel. {25} For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD. {26} Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, {27} Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off. {28} Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.

I guess after Hollywood or Phoenix is destroyed all prophecy will end. Thats means no more movies being made there and that will end all sin.

[MichaelCadry]

Dear Corvyx19,

I'd like to agree with you and say it's okay, but the fact is, I am telling the truth and they are not false doctrine or charges. Time will prove me and God will prove me. But don't expect to believe me. People never believe the truth. Only the Jim Jones, etc. lies.

I cannot keep writing to all of you and hope you can understand that I have to limit my time on the puter, in order to work and clean house.

People are always ready to believe the tricky devilish preachers, but never a real prophet. O, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which stoneth the prophets (that I (God) send to you. O, how would I have gathered you up in my wings like a hen and her chicks, but YOU would not!!"

Think outside the bun!!

May God and Jesus Bless You With Patience and Understanding,

MichaelCadry

[MichaelCadry]

Dear All,

I can't write you each personally, but this is for Hidden Manna and InChristAlways. I don't know that San Diego will have any trouble, but they may. But L.A./Hollywood and Phoenix will. You cannot escape. The earthquakes will happen wherever you escape to, even the Mount of Olives shall cleave into two. Don't try to run away to a different location. God will find you wheresoever you go. If it is His Will that you be taken away, you have little choice and should rejoice. But if it is His Will that you not be taken, be sad.

Enough said for now.

Let us grope for the truth that lies in between the lies,

MichaelCadry

[MichaelCadry]

Dear All,

God will see how people help each other, and how those are they that give up their best interests or lives to help others to be okay. Those who seek life shall not find it and those who are willing to lose their lives, shall find them.

God Bless You All,

This advice is what you should be doing MC and stay away from the end-time stuff if you cannot get it right.

How to tell a False Prophet

I can live with getting ostracized for believing what Jesus and the apostles believed. (Matthew 24:34) But I cannot live with Jesus being called a false prophet because of the traditions of men and the misunderstanding of the church today. Because of the (New futurist ) view Jesus has been made into a false prophet. The secular media and unbelievers (who are always looking for an excuse to call Jesus a false prophet) are further discrediting Christianity because of the futuristic view.

They are not dumb people some know scripture better then some Christians. They know Jesus promised to return in that generation, and they know the first century saints looked for his return in that generation. (Titus 2:13) They also know about another verse in the Old Testament that a lot of Christians today do not.

I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him. But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’ And if you say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?’ when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him. Deuteronomy 18:18-22

What is it about these verses that don’t agree with the traditional interpretation of the timing of prophecy. God said in these inspired verses if a prophet sets a time for something to happen, and that thing did not occur at the time, it was predicted, what would this mean? Well simply put that prophet was false and speaking presumptuously; and was not sent by God verse 22. The unbelievers know this concept is in the Bible as will. Jesus is NOT a false and he did keep his words.

Paul also tell us that the Prophet God talks about he would send in Deuteronomy 18:18 was Jesus. For Moses truly said to the fathers, “The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ (Acts 3:22-23)

If Jesus was that Prophet sent by God and speaking of God he had to keep his time words or time statements 100% or be called a false prophet. The good new is Jesus is NOT a false prophet and kept his word to that generation. Deuteronomy 18:18-22 has been a big problem for those who don’t believe Jesus’ words. But it is not a problem for those who are looking for an excuse to further discredit Christianity.

When we shown Christians this problem that makes Jesus into a false prophet. They run and retreat to this verse as to say God did NOT mean what he said in (Deuteronomy 18:18-22)

In II Peter 3:8 we find the statement about “one day being as a thousand years,” etc. (But please note the verse does not say one day IS a thousand years with the Lord. In verse 9 we find a “forgotten statement:” “The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some count slowness” (NASV). The word translated “slow” (Greek “braduno”) means just that. Compare Paul’s usage of the term in I Timothy 3:15. Peter’s point is that if God sets a time for fulfillment he fulfills on time! He is not slow; God can tell time and knows how to communicate with man, uses (time statements) that man can understand and keep his promises on time! This verse asserts in no uncertain terms that God is a God who keeps his promises!

Peter defended the promises of God and the timing there of against the scoffers of his day. (They taunted Christians, saying,) ‘Were is the promise of His coming?” (2 Peter 3:4a) Peter says they willfully forgot that God promised to destroy the world of Noah’s day, and He did it! It is a juncture that Peter uses the verse we are considering.

See the context? He is defending the truth of God’s word, especially the promises, against those who jeer and mock God’s faithfulness. Peter ministers to the household of faith as he strengthens them. He does not tear down the promises of God he defended the promises of God. He does not go against (Deuteronomy 18:18-22).

He says, if God promises to do a certain thing in a day, the promise is sure, and it will come on time. If God promises to do a certain thing in a thousand years, the promise is sure, and it will come on time.

Thus the scoffers rejected the message of God’s prophets, time and again. Second, note that the scoffers’ question was based on God’s long delay (2 Peter 3:3-4) The scoffers were telling Peter to look back at 40 years of delay! Where is this judgment God promised?” Their argument made some sense.

They based their question on the fast that for 4,000 years-since the beginning of creation-life had been going on pretty much the same, with on intervention from heaven even after Jesus said upon that generation would come all the righteous blood shed on the earth. (Matthew 23:34-36)

Side note this (word genetation) is the identical Greek word “genea,” which means, “ the period or the persons. This word has the same meaning as the word “generation” found in Luke 11:50-51, that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of THIS GENERATION; from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zechariah which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, it shall be required of “THIS GENERATION.”

Third, Note that Peter’s response to these scoffers discusses millenniums of time. Peter replied that indeed the Lord had delayed judgment for centuries, but now the time was up. There would be no more delay. This generation would choose either to repent or to perish. In a study of this context and time statements we see all the disciples believe this way.

1.) Romans 13:12--Paul said “the day is at hand.”
2.) Romans 16:20--Paul said God “will bruise Satan under your feet shortly.”
3.) I Corinthians 7:28-31--Paul said “the fashion of this world is passing away,” and “the time is short.”
4.) I Timothy 6:14--Paul told Timothy to live faithfully “until the appearing of our Lord.”
5.) James 5:7-9--James urged his readers to be faithful “until the coming of the Lord;” he says “The coming of the Lord is at hand:” and “The judge is standing right at the door.”
6.) I Peter 4:5,7,17--Peter said Jesus was then “ready to judge the living and the dead;” “the end of all things is at hand;” and “the time is come for the judgment to begin at the house of God.”
7.) I John 2:15-18--John said the world was passing away and “it is the last hour.”
8.) Revelation—this book says no less than ten times that its predictions “must shortly come to pass,” were “at hand,” were to happen “quickly,” there would be “no more delay,” etc, etc.
Ever one of these men believed the (time was at hand) and there would be no more delay.

Now my next question, where in the Now Testament does any of the disciples or Jesus said God did not mean what he said in (Deuteronomy 18:18-22) ? In Matthew 10:23--Jesus said he would return in the lifetime of his disciples. When is the scripture that says God changed his mind about Deuteronomy 18:18-22 in the New Testament?

Where are the scripture for these things. Notice in Acts 3:23 what Peter says. And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ Those scoffers who tried to make the argument the Jesus was delaying his return in judgment were indeed destroyed from among the people in A.D 70 just the inspired Peter said.

I will be looking forward to your answers to my question about (Deuteronomy 18:18-22) and the new (testament time statements).

God Bless

Dear Hidden Manna,

When Jesus said 'this' 'generation', He meant this generation of our Adam and Eve, not the simple generation of 100 years during His life, or whatever. You must know Jesus would think on a larger scale than man would!

I must make this short. Please think about it.

Now it seems to me that there are only two ways to "get around" these 101 Scriptures and remain a Futurist. One of those ways is to dismiss the spirit of imminence that saturates the New Testament and to say that it only indicates things that are "soon in God's sight." There are some major problems with that approach

If the imminence saturating the New Testament was only an "in-God's-sight" imminence, then (1) why was the Old Testament not also saturated with an "in-God's-sight" imminence?

(2) Why did God not tell Adam and Eve, "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand?" Why did He not tell Abraham, "The Son of Man is about to come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and will then recompense every man according to his deeds?"

(3) Why did He not say to Malachi, "This generation will not pass away until all these things take place?"

The fact is that what God said was near to the Apostles, He said was not near to the earlier prophets. Perhaps the clearest illustration of this truth is found in a comparison of Dan. 8:26 and Rev. 22:10:

(Daniel 12:4) But thou, O Daniel, (shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end) many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

(Revelation 22:10) And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

A direct parallel to Daniel 12:4 is Revelation 22:10. Daniel as well as John received a vision of the time of the end. Daniel is told to seal up the book, till the time of the end. From Daniel's time 586 to Christ was approximately 500 years. Ok, that is a good reason for God to tell Daniel to seal up the book. Five hundred years is an incredibly long time for a book to be un-sealed if the end was not (at hand) So God told Daniel to seal up his book. Anyway at the end the seal of the book would be loosened, right?

So after five-hundred years (many days) had passed from Daniel to Johns book of Revelation, the angel of the Lord tells John at the end of the book: (Revelation 22:10) And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

"Seal not", why? "at hand". If Johns vision was referring to events nearly 2000 years to come, the book should have been sealed up with John just as well as it was with Daniel. The visions that Daniel received of the end were referring to "many days". "At hand" has nothing to do with events 2000 years to come.
