"As we have already shown there are two cities and two women presented in the book of Revelation. One of the cities is the holy city, New Jerusalem. The other is called Mystery Babylon. They are symbols and symbols are not what they are called, therefore neither of the two cities is a literal city somewhere on earth. If they are not cities, what are they? They are symbols of something else. If they were real cities, as many commentators suppose, they would not be among all the beautiful symbols of the book of Revelation, which is entirely a book of symbols. Most of the preachers today have the first city confused with other things. The vast majority think that New Jerusalem is a description of heaven; therefore they talk about the city as heaven, having golden streets and mansions over the hill-top. But New Jerusalem cannot be heaven because John sees it coming down from God out of heaven! Church theology today has the Holy City, Heaven, and the Kingdom of God all mixed up and confused. Confused -- oh, yes, that is the mark of Babylon! It is obvious they do not know what the New Jerusalem is, nor what Heaven is, nor what the Kingdom of God is!"
Much more in the link:
Agreed. Do you not agree the Spirit within you rebels and recoils from doing too much social media? Does something stir inside you to the negative when you see others close to you doing it? Do you sense a warning from within? That's the Holy Spirit, in my opinion, warning you "back: do not do this".
So we're in agreement on most of this......
Not at all. I use most of my time witnessing and teaching. So that others may hear and believe.
I thank you for your Christian service. We need you shepherds out there guiding the flock back to the blood and sacrifice of The Lamb, and I appreciate what men like you are doing. This is the second most difficult time to be a Christian pastor in history, is my belief. The first most difficult was right after the time of Jesus and His resurrection. Second right behind it is now. I will pray for you and your Ministry. God and Jesus Christ alone know how difficult it has to be.
Yes, the Great Falling Away is a tough nut to crack. But, to me, just getting His Word out is a great joy.
