Daniel 7:25 KJV And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
So why would the beast want to change times and laws? To keep us from the Holy Days of our Lord.
Leviticus 23:3 KJV Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
The seventh day of the week is Saturday. And, according to the times set by our Lord, it begins on Friday at sunset. Nothing in the scriptures points to a midnight start of the day. There is nothing Holy about Sun Day.
Matthew 28:1 KJV In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
We are so far removed from the times and laws of our One True God that people look at this scripture and believe the Sabbath to be Sun Day, a pagan roman day of the week worshipped by the heretics that rule over us.
Matthew 24:24 KJV For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
I was once deceived, believing the Birthday of Christ to be 12/25. Now I know that 12/25 is saturnalia, a pagan sun worshipping holiday. What else do we not know because we just trust in these adherents of satan? Look at what they’ve done recently with BC/AD being perverted into bce/ace.
And why does it matter? For the same reason the doctrines of men and their false religions keep you from a personal relationship with your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. These things are the very definition of the antichrist.
One good example out of the many I could choose from; How many of us keep the Passover? Christ did not do away with the Passover, He observed it with the disciples as the Last Supper. He changed the Sacraments of it from the blood of the lamb to His Blood, the wine. This should be one of our Holy Days but we’ve been led away from it. By evil.
When are going to take our times and laws back, away from the evil ones? We give them this power over us, how can expect anything else but the evils that they currently perpetrate upon us?

Paul asserts many things in his letters to the churches, but one most important to your point is that we are constantly to be aware and looking for the Lawless One, because the End Times are not here until he is unleashed. However, Paul also makes it clear that Satan is working constantly in his evil ways all the time, using the same strategies and methods that the Lawless One will eventually employ. In other words, as you said, these evil things will happen. But, careful only to assert them as evil, and not the End Times or the Anti Christ.
Resist anything and everything that attempts to replace God in your life. The Lord of Lords is your guiding light and top priority in all things, and only He is deserving of worship.
2 Thessalonians 3 goes on with how to deal with those who don't stand firm and become idle in their faith, allowing something else to take that top priority spot. The summary is to rebuke the evil they've taken in, allow yourself to have no debt to them, and then distance yourself so the Spirit can recapture their hearts. They are misled, not enemies. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Thessalonians%203&version=NIV

Who knows what blessings the Lord would be pouring out on us right now if we were faithfully keeping His times and laws. Instead of these absolute curses currently appointed unto us.
What do you think is happening right now every day. People are living in torment worldwide, because of these vaccine passports, and Covid draconian measures. Satan’s having a field day right now. However Jesus does win in the end, but in the meantime… People are suffering suffering
Every time in the Old Testament that the Lord turns away from the people, and sends His wrath among them, it is because they turned away from Him. Every time He repents of the wrath He sent, it is because the people repented of their evil ways and turned back to Him. We don't have to suffer, like we are, if we would just call His Name.
This is the worst excuse I ever hear from people. Yes that is true for the Old Testament, but Jesus came to fulfill the law.
On that note, there are way more Christians in this country than there are non-Christians. It’s just that the non-Christian to the ones that screech the loudest.
I am personally part of two women’s prayer groups, Bible study groups, go to church twice a week, read my Bible every day, and I know many many many other people that do as well. What about us? What about those who are following the Lord? Why do we have to suffer along with the unbelievers?
When do our prayers become more important than the sins of other evil people.???
I’m tired of hearing this premise, that United States is an evil country. It is not! Twitter is A psychological operation full of Chinese bots - it is meant to give the impression or the idea that liberals are out there fighting for social justice, and most of those accounts are fake.
The only reason people were out in the street last summer rioting and fighting for social justice, it’s because they were paid to do it! Or, because they were only taking about it of a situation to be looters and steal what they wanted.
You’re not an evil nation, yes there are some people here that are evil, just like an every generation, and any every situation, and in every country.
The majority of the people in this country loved the United States of America, love the Lord our God Jesus Christ, and our God-fearing praying people. She don’t give me this BS about us all being in soon, and we all need to repent, and we all need to do this or that.
I know for a fact I’m doing it, and I know hundreds if not thousands of people within our family or our church groups in our Bible study groups that are all doing the same thing. And I’m just one person - with a circle of 1000. We love Jesus, we pray, we go to church, and we try to live good lives.
If I have to hear one more time on this platform… It’s all because we’ve send that were suffering now, I’m going to vomit. It’s a big fat lie from Satan himself. So stop spreading it
I totally hear you, I’m a Christian as well and I’m currently part of a prayer group. To be honest with you, one of the things that really frustrates me about other Christians right now as people really don’t seem to know what’s going on (that we’re fighting a spiritual & physical war). I feel like this is like the only place I can come with like-minded people anywhere. In our prayer group and other prophets/ prayer leaders we listen to, it’s often discussed how much the United States has fallen. I’m not trying to disagree with you but just to offer another perspective, we’ve basically let evil reign unchecked for decades, babies being murdered through abortion, liberalism and leftism raining which allows men to be women and kids to change gender. All of this evil is an abomination to the Lord. As Christians in this country (who I don’t believe outnumber the non-Christians at this point), we are the ones diligently seeking him, doing Bible study, attending church, and praying for this nation. If we are truly the hands and feet of Jesus in this country, we need to be helping to bring his kingdom here on this earth not just in the United States but around the world (think of the Lord’s prayer, “your kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven”). God has left what is called a remnant right now which is the faithful followers of him who are praying and seeking for His will to be done here on earth. I do believe we are going to see a great awakening it is actually already here it’s just what we’re living through is also a spiritual battle. So don’t lose heart! God will deliver us from this evil I firmly believe it as do many others.
Yep, I just think of Joshua, leading his army to victory after decisive victory. And then one of his soldiers keeps some plundered gold for himself, burying it in the floor of his tent. Joshua's army loses the next battle they fight.
I also know that it is God's Will to try us, to reveal what kind of people we truly are.
What a great post. Just remember this… When you stand before the Lord, you will hear well done good and faithful servant! Thank you for standing with me and for the Lord. He does win, he has one, and we will too when we finally pass into the heavenly realms. For now we suffer. But hopefully soon it will all be over with!
Satan has been trying to kill people since the garden. Isn’t that what he did to Adam and eve instantly. He said that they would be like God, but when they eat of the apple they literally became mortal and died.
As long as Satan is on this planet, he will continue to try and kill people because we are made in the image of God and he hates us.
Not everyone is saved on this planet, or knows who God is. If Satan can get those people to die before they except Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, he will have more people and he’ll to torment for eternity.
There’s nothing new under the sun… This generation will be vaccines, pesticides, whatever else that these luciferin satanic people will come up with.
Also he likes to watch believers suffer. He relishes in that. So even though many of us may not die during this time, we have to live in torment, and the threat of losing our lives and livelihoods. Satan loves that
Always remember he hates us because were made in his image, and because he knows he’s going to hell for eternity he wants to take as many people, or souls, with him.
We have to remember that we are the winners to Christ Jesus, Satan is a loser, he always will be, and there’s nothing he can do about that. Not one thing! But in the mean time.,.
Satan hates us because we are made in God's Image and will occupy a piece with Him he can can never hope to have. Satan's motto is death to the fleshbags. He wants our population to decrease.
Spiritually, Satan loves rituals and getting people hung up on days and ceremonies. The New Testament is clear that a BORN AGAIN believer is past all that stuff. Our bodies are Temples of the Holy Spirit and the law in contained the Golden Rule.
The New Testament is clear that a BORN AGAIN believer is past all that stuff.
With respect and in love, I must disagree. I use the "Lord's Prayer" as an example.
Matthew 6:9 KJV After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Two things, first, "after this manner." What Jesus told us is HOW we should pray to the Father, not that we should copy His exact Words and chant them over and over again (personal relationship?) If you look closely, each line has a different purpose, which leads to point #2.
The FIRST thing that Jesus told us to do was praise the Father. Hallowed be Thy Name. This is foundational of our belief You shall know that I am the Lord. Every knee shall bow. At the very least, we should set aside one day a week. I'm just as guilty of transgressing this as everyone else is (save the devout) and I fear no retribution for it.
But when I look upon the abominations we live under, I'm wondering if He is really that pleased with us.
The Lord's Prayer is model for us to follow for sure. It keeps our prayer life on track. That's why He says "after this manner."
I don't do chants because they become vain. I aim for authentic prayer as I'm led day in and day out. When something is taking my peace, I stop and ask Him to help me. When I'm worried, I cast it on Him. His yoke is easy and His burden light. Seek to labor into His Rest. The flesh loves protocols and procedures, and it's hard to put that away, a labor if you will. For those sealed in His Spirit, there is no condemnation for God only sees His Son. But they have an access that surpasses the Old Testament ways and is continual. I can't imagine seeing aside just one day when every day is full of His mercies.
Satan is going to do his thing, but those who love Truth on the Earth will be set free.
I don't disagree with what you say but
Hebrews 4 KJV
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
It's that whole "example of unbelief" thing. If the neighbor sees you out mowing the lawn on the Sabbath but otherwise knows you are a believer, would he not have questions of your faith? Remember, the Apostles had to show their faith by becoming human torches or being hung on a tree. And, as I said, I'm as guilty as the next person, and I see all the evil around us, I just wonder if we fall short.
Jesus Christ is the Sabbath Rest. Paul is preaching to the Hebrews that they're going to have to work on getting past their traditions to enter into the Rest. In verse 3, he references believers are entered into the rest and works are finished. As a believer, I know that I am secure and God loves me uncondititonally. Therefore I am FREE to love others without fear of condemnation or guilt. I'm hear to tell you, you can be a much more powerful witness when you're not worrying if you're doing enough and just DO!
As far as being out and about on the Sabbath, In Romans 14, Paul says: ** One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.**
We're living through unbelievable times for a reason. If we are feeding on the Word, and praying for direction, the Holy Spirit will equip us guide us to just what we should be doing!
Here is a free ebook by Paul Dohse, a man who isn't afraid to share what he has learned about church and its structure. It looks at what church is supposed to be from a Biblical and not traditional standard. https://app.box.com/s/1x9c4im4y4dtdwd1lv67mxbudgqvtybx
I've never felt so effective as when I quit the 501c3 cursed church hamster wheel!
To hurt God. The spiritual battle rages.
And there is so much more to unlearn, the scales have not yet been fully removed. It is going to be very painful for the masses as the Greatest of all Awakenings happens.
USC 18 .242: Deprivation of rights under color of law.
If you get arrested it is called kidnapping and death penalty may be imposed, or life sentence,
if you were threatened with a dangerous weapon .. 10 years + a nice fine
It would be nice if some people get an ass whooping with this. Like Lori clubfoot, News-ompf, etc.
What is sepulchre? Also I was just thinking... they talk about false prophets before the real stuff starts to happen. Does anyone feel like compiling a list of the false prophets of the past that have led the sheep down the wrong path.. that is, before the real truth comes out and shows us the correct path... also will we have any kind of true confirmation that the next prophet isn't yet another false prophet. Or is it something we are just supposed to know and feel Is finally correct. That this path is the path we are supposed to go down, hand in hand to finally rid the world of evil.. Just some deep stuff you made me think about.. Any thoughts on this guys?
What is sepulchre?
It's a tomb for the dead.
Does anyone feel like compiling a list of the false prophets of the past that have led the sheep down the wrong path.
Any sort of authentic list would start with the pope. And would end with the pope too, for that matter. In between you could list arianism (aryanism, yes, more on this later,) gnosticism, mysticism, universalism, satan has use for them all.
also will we have any kind of true confirmation that the next prophet isn't yet another false prophet
Excellent question; this is why you should study and learn the Word of God as though your life depended on it. Because your life does depend on it.
Another part of this is being the prophet that God Wills you to be. We have the Word in us, not just for our own benefice but so that we can give it to those who need it. Part of this is warning others of what God has shown you.
Thanks for this reply sir
Too, you're right that one can't tell a prophet by their profession alone. In the Old Testament the test is stated to be to wait and see if his prophecies come true, and if he has prophesied definitively (set a date) and been proven false then we are to have no fear of him. However, if someone preaches things that resonate with the Holy Spirit in you testing them, including if a prophecy comes true, we can give provisional credit but we are not to become slaves of the prophet but only of the Holy Spirit in him and us. The Spirit of prophecy in us tests the prophecies of others; it is written that, when one speaks, the rest test what is said. All that is to say, if the Spirit of God is not in you, beg and plead with God to grant his Spirit to you through the work of Jesus Christ!
God is ridding the world of evil in a patient, even promiscuous, methodical process. Many of us get visions of pieces of that process, but he is the only one with all the pieces. Therefore he is the one who can be in you to test every vision and to give the infallible answers. Make sure you have invited him to live inside you and then you will always have light for your next steps on the path of life.
Many people have been waiting for evil two lose. The Scriptures are written thousands of years ago. Until Christ come evil still will exist. The global New World order and do you state are so deep, we may never see even in our generation a change. Everybody talks about the great awakening. Well all those people in the Bible that wrote those scriptures, but I got inspired hand, thought that they would see change to. I guess waiting over 10 months for an audit that will never see the results to you, it’s not that big of a deal huh! If this is truly the end times, then things will get worse before they get better. The only great awakening we will ever see is when we meet Jesus in the sky. After yesterday, today more than ever, I feel there is no hope for this world other than Jesus Christ return.
High effort post!!
All credit to the Spirit, Amen.
Amen! Exceptional post here with some equally excellent comments.
Nothing comes to mind to add myself, other than this: https://torahcalendar.com/
Excellent resource, to know of the Feast Days.
One thing, not big deal, but the first thing I looked at
https://torahcalendar.com/POSTER/SABBATH_RESURRECTION_300DPI.PNG
They made a mistake. And it's the same mistake that everyone makes.
Matthew 28 KJV 1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
You have to remember that the Hebrew day begins at sunset. So this places Mary at the tomb 12 hours or so after the Sabbath ended. The Gospel of John concurs
John 20 KJV 1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
Sunday morning. 12 hours after the Sabbath ended. Now look at the poster from the site, they have the Resurrection occurring in the middle of the Sabbath Day and they use part of Wednesday daylight to fulfill the 3 day prophesy. This is not necessary. If Christ died at 9 on Passover Wednesday, as they agree, being Resurrected just after 9 on Saturday the Sabbath fulfills the 3 days and 3 nights.
Since it doesn't matter whether Jesus died on Wednesday or Friday in order for us to know the feast dates, this is a very incidental question. u/Andy_Man45 knows that I wouldn't pass his comments by without my noting that there are several textual indications that the inclusive count from Friday to Sunday is the intent of all the passages. For anyone of either persuasion, I would encourage a continued study of all the verses about the subject and about counting days in general until one can interact with all the concerns of both persuasions.
Jonah stayed in the belly of the whale for 3 full days and 3 full nights. The Gospel of Mark says after 3 days. So back to studying you go.
You might want to check into the Sun Day thing too.
Yes, I've studied all those things and drawn conclusions that answer all the data, but this is not the thread to engage them on. I'm also not listing the complementary Scriptures that need study as well. Best to leave it as asking everyone to study for themselves. It's hard enough for people in American culture to commit to rest on Sabbath that we don't need to complicate the issue with even more esoteric argument.
In Christ we are free, and thus we are not bound to the ceremonial laws of the Jewish people. You are free to observe them if you so choose, my friend, but they do not save you, nor have anything to do with your salvation, thus you must not chastise others about the ceremonial laws. We are saved through faith in Christ; it is that simple.
Yes, and our blood sacrifices to Him have been replaced with our words, prayers, actions and deeds. The 1st Commandment from Christ is to love God with all your heart and all your MIND. There is much more to this than just putting a bumper sticker on your car "I believe in Christ." He should OWN you.
As of now, we don't even have in MIND which day of the week belongs to Him.
I notice you still use the pagan name of our lord, Yeshua, with their name Jesus.
The “J” is silent in ancient hebrew. So it’s proper pronunciation is (Hey - Zeus) or “Hail Zeus.”
Furthermore, the image most associated with our savior depicts a man with long hair & beard, unkempt. In the Bible, it states that followers will be clean shaven & cut. I highly doubt our savior would go against the commandments of God.
Now, place the image most associated with Yeshua next to depictions of Zeus.
Some background: https://allthatsinteresting.com/yeshua-jesus-real-name
Of course "Yeshua", the name he was called in the Aramaic language he spoke, is preferable over "Jesus", a poor attempt to translate his name, but that doesn't support taking that conclusion to an extreme.
The transliteration "Jesus" in English is properly pronounced jee-zuss and billions of English speakers use this without question of conscience. If your conscience is troubled you still don't get to object to the ordinary linguistics of English.
If we were to argue proper pronunciation due to reference to other languages, the person who came up with this argument was relying on Greek "Iesous", which is properly pronounced yay-soose and has nothing to do with the pronunciation hay-zoose.
It could be argued that Spanish "Jesus" (hay-soose) comes closer but that is not how the argument runs.
"Hey" (hay) and "Zeus" (zoose) are English words so, even if a people-group existed that pronounced his name as hay-zoose, which is not in evidence, they would not be stating "Hey Zeus" in Greek, in which "Zeus" is pronounced zay-oose. Also, most all Greek male names end in -us (oose) so the identity of that portion is irrelevant, and the rest is not identical at all. Accordingly the argument that "Jesus is bad because some English speakers might confuse it with English 'Hey Zeus' even though nobody pronounces it that way" is totally invalid.
Your statement "J is silent in ancient Hebrew" is rather laughable because there is no J in Hebrew, the yod which was later transliterated J is not silent but is pronounced like either consonantal or vocalic Y, you pronounce it as H rather than silent, and there is no time in the history of these letters where any of them were consistently silent.
The Bible does not state that followers will be clean-shaven and cut, it says they must not mar the corners of their beards (Lev. 19:27). Is. 50:6 says that the Messiah will have a beard. It's rather sillly to judge depictions of Jesus as not fitting the Torah when one does not quote Torah accurately. I have nothing to say about depictions of Zeus. My big beef is that John said Jesus's hair is now white and nobody gets that point (Rev. 1:14).
In the great awakening, including the Christian foundation of it, we focus on unity rather than division. If you and I have the same savior we will find unity. If we don't find unity a tentative conclusion is obvious.
