John 14:3: (NASB) If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am, there you may be also.
If you are a Bible-believing Christian, the prophecies about the return of Jesus are not in question. If you are a Bible-believing Christian, you know that the return of Jesus coincides with the End Times, again, not a question. The question is: Why does Jesus return? What is the mission, what is the focus, what is the purpose of his return? As we approach the well-publicized date of May 21, 2011, and its accompanied predictions of rapture, chaos and destruction, we thought we would spend the two Sundays leading up to it in an in depth conversation about the second coming of Christ, so this first lesson is the “why” of his coming and next lesson is the “how.” Find the next lesson, program # 659

wow I sure am looking forward to jesus kingdom I took a job were a jw and several other church types work togeather its like walking through a minefield with razorblades everywere! everyone walks about content in their ability to contend! Oh How I wish the bibles truth of all have sined and fallen short would crystalize in all minds! what a differant form a christian we would have if we who call ourselfs christian would prove it by admiting our frailtys and asking for help instead of struting our spiritual streanths about like male chickens! oh jesus how we need you! amen please come soon.
Hi ari, and Amen to that! We will have a convention tomorrow, in fact there are a lot going on this weekend around the US. I am sticking close to home convention because Chicago is expecting a lot of rain from the hurricane. If you want to listen in on adobe connect Br. Peter could send thru email. But if you have a cell phone those will be some itty-bitty people. LOL
I hope you are feeling better,Its always sorely felt when a member of the body of christ is suffering. we have a wonderfull all powerfull
god who wants all to be healthfull, happy and prosperous ! the whole word of god is all about just that ! I will continue to pray that jehovah gives you power and healing get well sister !in jesus name amen
Ari matthews, Thanks to the Father and the brothers prayers, I am better now. The pain and burning was crazy. Maybe one more week and I should be done. Pox Marks are ugly tho. Take Care
the way to read the bible and have it make sense is first pray to jehovah for the wisdom to understand the scripture, then read it out loud and pray again to be shown what jehovah wants you to see… I gurentee you that evan reading what you do not understand outloud from the bible will cause the renewing of your mind so that you will be able to test and aprove what gods will for you is !
I will pray that jehovah
heals you quick,in the while their is a product called max effect berry blast, at the health store that will pump all kinds of high power healing things into you! I take .5 of an ounce per day it makes me feel more alive! with out artificial junk.. Get better,jehovah rapha loves you!
Thanks, I think I know what you are referring to. I will go the total holistic route to avoid complications it is in and around my ear and moving toward the eye so I am on a cocktail now. But I feel much better now just look like I was hit by a Mack truck lol. Take care ari and thanks for your concern. We are all in this together as spiritual brothers and FRIENDS.
This little booklet shows you how to put each scripture in the right time period. The world that was(Noah and before) the world that is (after flood, patriarchal, Jesus day and now) and the world that is to come (Millenium). For instance JW put Ps37:9,10 in the wrong time period. Just a little while longer and the wicked one will be no more, they say this happens at armageddon but it happens in Millenium. Armageddon is not judgement day but 1000yrs millenium is. So I will continue to look for a PDF. You will find it quite interesting read. Maybe Br. Peter or Jeff know of a PDF.
Ouch! Im sorry to hear that I wish you get well quickly
Thanks, it is one of my worse nightmares. I don’t remember ever having chickenpox. But the last 2 months had an unusual amount of stressss. This family reunion thing about me not being a witness was way to much for me to deal with plus a few other high impact cases presented. I am still out of town but will be back in later this week I am going to close down and just rest, correct my diet and start a holistic approach to this. I hope it is cool enough for me to just take slow walks on the beach. I live 3mins walking distance away. Doctors says the type of stress that hit me in the last two weeks would bring it on definitely. But if it isn’t one thing it is another. I have to adobe connect at least one convention that I was hoping to attend. boo-hoo. I always consider however that there is someone out there suffering more and may God’s grace to them. Peace
my freinds since acording to the bible jesus was given all power and authority 2012 years ago it just might be a good thing to reconsider all those dates that everyone talks about, jesus enemies were placed at his feet many years ago ! we are not waiting on jesus return as much as jesus is waiting on us ! the story of the prodigal son tells much more than a story about a man who repented ! it does indeed speek of an entire generation of people wallowing in the spiritual pig pen,,the other brother that was not happy to see his brother,well lets just say his initials are j.w. jesus told so many parables and if we stop seeing them as storys about indiviguals and see them as storys about whole classes of people, the bible is no longer a mystery but instead a lighthouse that points not to an unseen god in the sky but instead to liveing body parts of jesus christ that are we who beleive and move in faith !
Hello Ari matthews, how are you? I am battling a serious case of shingles. I agree the bible speaks of classes or groups of people in many instances. There is a little booklet that we passed out at the fair. “How to read the Bible and have it make sense”. I will try and find it in pdf put link here.Or one of the other friends might have the link.
just a little more on jesus 2(3) comeing we as christians are the liveing proof that jesus is alive and ruleing in heaven because we submit to that rulership and do his works on earth,we as christians never attempt to make rulers of ourselfs ,but just as jesus said whomever wants to be greatest must be unto a servant,and our service to the king is to invite people to the spirtual weding of christ if you remember the story one man showed up without weding clothes,but many miss a great and powerfull part of that story, remember the king said Freind how did you get in here without weding clothes yet the man was speechless ! the king called the man freind! now evan though the man got umm set outside he still got the scraps with the dogs, their is something to be said their although the man showed up in street clothes and booted he still got called freind and did not get beheaded which was the punishment for offending the king,instead the king taught the man a lesson and tied the man up and put him out with the dogs ! this was a corrective mesure to the man the king was saying if you act like a dog that tromps in to dinner dirty and smelly you will get put outside and get scraps thrown to you,,big lesson here show up before king jesus with clean heart and spirtuly clean robes and you get to eat the good food at the table with the king, show up nasty and doggie(unclean)spirtully and you will find yourself outside with the dogs ! now do your self a favor
dont go unto jesus weding nasty take the time to do some spirtual primping first ,and when the king invites you to dinner come but come cleaned up,show some respect and jesus will show some in return,
it is also most interesting to read mark chapter 9 vs 1 either this scripture states that some apostles were alive when jesus kingdom came to power, or are surviveing down to this day waiting on it..the two wittnesses ? this scripture is quite an exciteing vs as it either means that jesus kingdom is in power now, or that we will meet some very old apostles in the future ! either way I just love it… anybody dare to comment on what mark 9/1 means?
ok First its not jesus 2 comeing its his third. and acording to the bible jesus has been king a crowned king
with all power and authority given him and the angels worshiping him since a day or so after his resurection,the onley thing I can agree on about 1914 being the supposed start of the kingdom is that its not true.. in 1918 the great plauge of revelation that kills 1/3 of man happened in 9/11 the great city called babalon burned in 1 hour and all nations moured because no more money to buy their wares,unfortunatly onley 1 wicked thing is left the bitter flameing star wormwood sends a mountain into the sea and the fish die the ships get wreacked to the tune of another 1/3 of all, no jesus kingdom is not ruleing earth yet but its siting close enough on the spirtual plane that satan and his demons can see the great city and the prepareations for the spirtual wedding and satans mad thats why all the temper tantrams he knows he geting thrown in the hole soon..
Ok Jacqueline, that’s what I thought. Glad to hear you were encouraged by the meeting, I’ll be joining in with you guys as soon as I get some things taken care of on wednesday nights.
Ken I was on the road and Br. Peter probably isn’t at computer but yes, that spam got thru somehow. I normally check throughout day. I have reached my destination and can relax now. Our study last night was so faith strengthening and a blessing. Everyone seemed to enjoy.
