Re: "Secret Rapture"

"Secret Rapture",
Mattityahu 24 applies to you. Many will come saying "I am He." But read Romans 1:18-32.

Re: "Secret Rapture"

"Secret Rapture",
One and only one will judge, and that is the one who is called Y'shua HaNozri, Yehudi mi Yehudim, Ivri mi Ivrim. This "Yehudi vi Ivri mi Yehudim vi Ivrim" called Y'shua HaNozri is also Y'shua HaMashiach ben-el Chai who will judge you.

Meanwhile, it's funny how I would have historically been considered a "leftist" by some who'd consider the Nazis in 1930s-to-1940s Germany "rightists". Therefore, the opposite would be true today. On the other side, it has been argued that the "right-wing" Nazi Party of the 30s and 40s were leftists pretending to be rightists and moderates; and that right's always been right as Ronald Reagan saw it, and left's always been left as Hilary Clinton sees it. Therefore, I could be a William Wilberforce and Ronald Reagan, not Ann Coulter or 1930s-to-1940s, rightist in any era, if "right" has always meant "right" like Ronald Reagan.

Please correct me if I'm historically or factually wrong. This request is for fair and balanced, not extreme-right or extreme-left biased, historians and experts.

Re: Secret Rapture

To "Secret Rapture": I am looking for what is described in Mattityahu 24.

As for others, be forewarned: There will be many like "Secret Rapture" or Jose Luis de Jesus. But I have a feeling we're in the End Times, anyway; so I'm not surprised. Also, I shouldn't have been amazed that FOXNews.com posted that Hooters is going to open another restaraunt in Israel.

Meanwhile, Chiquita pled guilty, and the usual Obama-Clinton, Birkhead-Stern, Republicans vs. Democrats war is going on. So, as I was learning about Reconstruction today, and looking back on what I've learned, I had and have been thinking:

  1. Reconstruction is not entirely over, and the nation is in another Civil War, but a political and moral civil war.
  2. We're fighting another literal war, except we're overseas.
  3. A lot of arguments can get shot down, and hindsight is 20/20. For example, the Southerners were eventually let in to the Union loosely. But couldn't the ones who were rebellious have been the ones just punished for treason as renouncers of citizenship living in their former country, while the non-rebel Southerners and blacks were let in as citizens? But my teacher made a god point: How could they tell who rebelled or not? While some rebelled overtly, some rebelled covertly or by pulling wool over the eyes, etc.
  4. Ulysseus S. Grant is like Ann Coulter whereas Rutherford B. Hayes is like Guiliani, racist-but-pro-Union and lax-Republican types respectively.

P.S. When clouds covered the whole sky where I am, I was thinking about the Rapture.

Reply To Comments

"Hello Nicole,

I've been browsing your blog and am impressed that at your high intelligence and your wanted to stay educated and informed.

Keep up the good work. And make sure you keep up your education at school and at home. Both are important and shouldnt excluded the other.

It will serve you well."

Thank you, sir. But let me clarify: It is not my intelligence or desire to learn. Rather, " Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures." (Ya'akov [James] 1:16-18, NKJV).

Therefore, anything I've been given is a gift; and hopefully, you can find other blogs like mine. But keep visiting "The Nicole Factor".

This comment I may have a harder time using strengh to keep humble on:

"
Dear Sir,
The following issue can destroy ISLAM or ISRAEL; study it thoroughly to see if there is any truth to it.
READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGES FROM THE BIBLE AS IT HAS IMPLICATIONS ON THE WAR AGAINST TERROR/ISLAM and the claim of Israel that god gave them the land. If the child is an infant than the Judeo-Christian version becomes null and void and we are wasting our time and resources i.e. we could save trillions of dollars and create a more peaceful world rather than fighting against Islam the religion of Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them all).
The COVENANT with Abraham and his DESCENDANTS is central to JUDAISM/CHRISTIANITY/ISLAM.
Please note this is not a competition between faiths but an attempt to decipher fact from fiction.
Genesis 21:14 Contemporary English version se below link
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=GENESIS%2021;&version=46;
Early the next morning Abraham gave Hagar an animal skin full of water and some bread. Then he put the boy on her shoulder and sent them away.
GENESIS 16:16
And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ish’mael. Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ish’mael to Abram.
GENESIS 21:5
Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
At Genesis 22 Abraham had only 2 sons others came later. The Quran mentions that it was Ishmael that was sacrificed hence the reference in genesis 22:2 your only son can only mean someone has substituted Ishmael names for Isaac!!
BY DOING SOME KINDERGARTEN ARITHMATIC USING ARABIC NUMBERS (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)
NOT ROMAN NUMERALS (I, II, III,IV,V,VI,VII,VIII,IX,X) NB no concept of zero in roman numerals.
100 years old – 86 years old = 14 ADD 3 YEARS FOR ISSAC’S WEANING
THAT WOULD MAKE ISHMAEL 17 YEARS OLD IN GENESIS 21:14-21
BUT IT IS A DESCRIPTION OF AN INFANT.
Carefully read several times the above passage and then tell me the mental picture you get between the mother child interactions what is the age of the child. If the mental picture is that of a 17 year old child being carried on the shoulder of his mother, being physically placed in the bush, crying like a baby, mother having to give him water to drink, than the Islamic viewpoint is null and void. Why is there no verbal communications between mother and (17 YEAR OLD) child?
GENESIS: 21:14 - 21
So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the (17 YEAR OLD) child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba. When the water in the skin was gone, she cast the (17 YEAR OLD) child under one of the bushes. Then she went, and sat down over against him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot; for she said, “Let me not look upon the death of the (17 YEAR OLD) child.” And as she sat over against him, the (17 YEAR OLD) child lifted up his voice and wept. And God heard the voice of the (17 YEAR OLD) lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not; for God has heard the voice of the (17 YEAR OLD) lad where he is. Arise, lift up the (17 YEAR OLD) lad, and hold him fast with your hand; for I will make him a great nation.” Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the skin with water, and gave the (17 YEAR OLD) lad a drink. And God was with the (17 YEAR OLD) lad, and he grew up; he lived in the wilderness, and became an expert with the bow. He lived in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
The age of Ishmael at this stage is crucial to the Abrahamic faiths. If he is 17 than the JUDEO/CHRISTIAN point of view about the Abrahamic covenant is correct. This has devastating theological consequences of unimaginable proportions.
This makes the conflict between Ishmael and Isaac and there descendants a work of fiction. I would strongly suggest it is clear cut case of racial discrimination and nothing to do with god almighty. The scribes have deliberately tried to make Isaac the only son and legitimate heir to the throne of Abraham??
Please can you rationally explain this anomaly?
I have asked many persons including my nephews and nieces - unbiased minds with no religious backgrounds but with reasonable command of the English language about this passage and they all agree that the child in the passage is an infant.
AS THE DESCRIPTION OF ISHMAEL IN GENESIS 21:14-21 IS THAT OF AN INFANT IT CAN BE ASSUMED SOMEONE HAS MOVED THIS PASSAGE FROM AN EARLIER PART OF SCRIPTURE!!! AND HAVE GOT THERE KNICKERS IN A TWIST.

HOLY QURAN CHAPTER 37 verses 101 - 122
101. So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear.
102. Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: “O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!” (The son) said: “O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!”
103. So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah., and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),
104. We called out to him “O Abraham!
105. “Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!” - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
106. For this was obviously a trial-
107. And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:
108. And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
109. “Peace and salutation to Abraham!”
110. Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
111. For he was one of our believing Servants.
112. And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet,- one of the Righteous.
113. We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.
114. Again (of old) We bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron,
115. And We delivered them and their people from (their) Great Calamity;
116. And We helped them, so they overcame (their troubles);
117. And We gave them the Book which helps to make things clear;
118. And We guided them to the Straight Way.
119. And We left (this blessing) for them among generations (to come) in later times:
120. “Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron!”
121. Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
122. For they were two of our believing Servants.
ISHMAEL IS THE FIRST BORN AND GOOD NEWS OF ISSAC DOES NOT APPEAR UNTIL AFTER THE SACRIFICE?????
Therefore the claim that god gave the land to Israel is destroyed without the need of any WMD’s.
HADITH
Volume 4, Book 55, Number 583:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The first lady to use a girdle was the mother of Ishmael. She used a girdle so that she might hide her tracks from Sarah. Abraham brought her and her son Ishmael while she was suckling him, to a place near the Ka’ba under a tree on the spot of Zam-zam, at the highest place in the mosque. During those days there was nobody in Mecca, nor was there any water So he made them sit over there and placed near them a leather bag containing some dates, and a small water-skin containing some water, and set out homeward. Ishmael’s mother followed him saying, “O Abraham! Where are you going, leaving us in this valley where there is no person whose company we may enjoy, nor is there anything (to enjoy)?” She repeated that to him many times, but he did not look back at her Then she asked him, “Has Allah ordered you to do so?” He said, “Yes.” She said, “Then He will not neglect us,” and returned while Abraham proceeded onwards, and on reaching the Thaniya where they could not see him, he faced the Ka’ba, and raising both hands, invoked Allah saying the following prayers:
‘O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring dwell in a valley without cultivation, by Your Sacred House (Kaba at Mecca) in order, O our Lord, that they may offer prayer perfectly. So fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and (O Allah) provide them with fruits, so that they may give thanks.’ (14.37) Ishmael’s mother went on suckling Ishmael and drinking from the water (she had).
When the water in the water-skin had all been used up, she became thirsty and her child also became thirsty. She started looking at him (i.e. Ishmael) tossing in agony; She left him, for she could not endure looking at him, and found that the mountain of Safa was the nearest mountain to her on that land. She stood on it and started looking at the valley keenly so that she might see somebody, but she could not see anybody. Then she descended from Safa and when she reached the valley, she tucked up her robe and ran in the valley like a person in distress and trouble, till she crossed the valley and reached the Marwa mountain where she stood and started looking, expecting to see somebody, but she could not see anybody. She repeated that (running between Safa and Marwa) seven times.”
The Prophet said, “This is the source of the tradition of the walking of people between them (i.e. Safa and Marwa). When she reached the Marwa (for the last time) she heard a voice and she asked herself to be quiet and listened attentively. She heard the voice again and said, ‘O, (whoever you may be)! You have made me hear your voice; have you got something to help me?” And behold! She saw an angel at the place of Zam-zam, digging the earth with his heel (or his wing), till water flowed from that place. She started to make something like a basin around it, using her hand in this way, and started filling her water-skin with water with her hands, and the water was flowing out after she had scooped some of it.”
The Prophet added, “May Allah bestow Mercy on Ishmael’s mother! Had she let the Zam-zam (flow without trying to control it) (or had she not scooped from that water) (to fill her water-skin), Zam-zam would have been a stream flowing on the surface of the earth.” The Prophet further added, “Then she drank (water) and suckled her child. The angel said to her, ‘Don’t be afraid of being neglected, for this is the House of Allah which will be built by this boy and his father, and Allah never neglects His people.’ The House (i.e. Kaba) at that time was on a high place resembling a hillock, and when torrents came, they flowed to its right and left. She lived in that way till some people from the tribe of Jurhum or a family from Jurhum passed by her and her child, as they (i.e. the Jurhum people) were coming through the way of Kada’. They landed in the lower part of Mecca where they saw a bird that had the habit of flying around water and not leaving it. They said, ‘This bird must be flying around water, though we know that there is no water in this valley.’ They sent one or two messengers who discovered the source of water, and returned to inform them of the water. So, they all came (towards the water).” The Prophet added, “Ishmael’s mother was sitting near the water. They asked her, ‘Do you allow us to stay with you?” She replied, ‘Yes, but you will have no right to possess the water.’ They agreed to that.” The Prophet further said, “Ishmael’s mother was pleased with the whole situation as she used to love to enjoy the company of the people. So, they settled there, and later on they sent for their families who came and settled with them so that some families became permanent residents there. The child (i.e. Ishmael) grew up and learnt Arabic from them and (his virtues) caused them to love and admire him as he grew up, and when he reached the age of puberty they made him marry a woman from amongst them."

Back to you, sir, I have purposely tried to avoid the Qu'ran and hold Torah and Brit Chadashah? Or do you not know that Sarah and Avraham sinned in not trusting God's promise by using Hagar to conceive a child not of the promise? Yet, descendants of Ishmael do become descendants of Yitzchak as promised.

What I mean, sir, is that Islam does not worship the YHWH of Torah, but the Allah of Mohammed, because of what is recorded in Genesis as having happened. Only Messianic/Christian Jews and Gentiles (including physical descendants of Ishmael) can be saved. But the promises belong to the Jews, then Gentiles, and Jews and Christians first. See Yochanahn (John) 4:22, Romans 1-3 and Romans 9-11, and Galatians.

Edit Clarifications

Some times and elements I forgot to change or leave in.

Clarification and Explanation

I said that you could e-mail me at thenicolefactor@gmail.com or nickidewbear@aol.com with any comments, questions, concerns, doubts, unsuretys, or anything else. But before you'd e-mail or report me, let me explain why I did with the last entry what I did. I wanted, like Bill O'Reilly, to expose liberal, secular-progressive, anti-American, anti-Judeo-Christian hate speech.

My Old Entries (Long Entry)

These are all my old entries on page 1 of my old blog. They are a lot to read, but since I can't blog on my old blog and may lose my entries, I have to post them all here. But I did edit them for clarity.

Mar 7, 2007
Catching Up and Updates

I'm not allowed online or to watch television on school nights without special permission until my grades improve. So, I missed a lot of news, meaning you may have, too (I'm guessing some of you just read what news I report. I know that I have a friend who will register as an Independent and won't vote or care anything about politics when he's older.).



So, found guilty and in the slammer are formers VP Aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby, husband Stephen Grant, astronaut Lisa Nowak, and sex offender John Couey. Victims include the Bush Administration, the Nowak family and NASA, the Grant family, and the Lunsford family. Also notable includes 90 Muslims killed in Iraq, Ann Coulter in a fight with John Edwards, and the DOW gaining 157 points.

To Soliptic

"Why don't you come out and say who you are?
Posted on Mar 4 2007 11:37:29 PST 2007 by soliptic
The internet is anonymous, as are you even though this is your blog. What, you want my name so that you can send some right wing nutjob after me when hes done killing abortion doctors? I am a member of the so called liberal elite, the ever increasing power base in this country, that is successfuly waging a war against ignorance, and fear, ie. religion. There is a correllation between intelligence and religion. The more moderate, the higher the IQ, the more extreme, the lower the IQ with the majority of evangelical christians having IQs well below the national average. This is fact, not open to interpretation and is proof that religion is failing, and eventually will be obsolete. The rapture that you eagerly await(psycho anyone), is not coming, and when you're 80 and on your death bed still waiting for god to save you from the rational minds of the world, know that you were wrong. Because you are, and no intelligent individual would or does believe otherwise. You want my name, I'll give it to you, but I also want yours. It's a two way street, and no Bill O'Reilly hypocrisy will save you here. How can you believe anything that that idiot says when it's common knowledge that he lies, cheats, and is the greatest hypocrite in modern media."
My name is in the title of my blog, soliptic. Besides, I'd rather take Pascal's wage: Believe in God and die than believe in human knowledge and be condemned. You sound angry, soliptic. You remind me of a description of Alan Colmes I heard on Heartland last night.
The only thing I can say to you, soliptic, is that I understand anger, hurt, pain, hopelessness, brokeness, and reconciliation and faith. My mom's mom was abused as a kid and smoked for years to cope with things, and still carries the weight. I was abused by my dad. My sister's boyfriend hurt her really badly last night. But my mom's mom is now letting out her issues and I processed what I learned about her that hurt me. My sister and her boyfriend also reconciled, and she started singing "Amazing Grace" when she felt much better. As for my dad and ex-boyfriend, only God can heal them.
Go see Amazing Grace.

"Tired"

My internet browser and blog is acting up, so I had to re-log in and use another way to add tags; while breaking news from FOX News/AP came in that Pakistan successfully tested missles. The lyrics of "Tired" (by a Toby Keith who was once good, now very secular-progressive) never have been more timely for me, who is stressed, lonely, and longing for the Rapture.

" Tired
(Toby Keith/Chuck Cannon)

My name is Jackson, I was named after my father
Followed in his footsteps, down here to this factory
I ain`t complainin`, wouldn`t waste my breath to bother
This work ain`t hard, it`s only borin` as can be

Married Rebecca back in seventy-seven
I still love her and I guess she loves me too
We go to church on Sundays `cause we want to go to heaven
Me and my family, ain`t that how you`re supposed to do

But I`m tired, Lord I`m tired
Life is wearin` me smooth down to the bone
No rest for the weary, ya just move on
Tired, Lord I`m tired

I`ve only missed six days in nigh on twenty years o` work
The money went to taxes and these bills I`ve paid on time
The raise I got two months ago don`t meet the cost o` living
Selling my body for these nickels and these dimes

The smell of Becky`s coffee rolled me out of bed this morning
I showered and shaved and dressed and pulled my work boots on
Walked in the kitchen, she was starin` out the window
The way she said good morning made me ask is something wrong
She said I`m tired, woke up tired
Life is wearin` me smooth down to the bone
No rest for the weary, ya just move on
I guess you just keep goin` till your gone
Tired, Lord I`m tired
Tired, Lord I`m tired"

Exactly What the Liberals Want

Exactly what the liberals want is you not speaking up. Besides the secular-progressives and watered-down conservatives who comment on here, only two people had comments that were true to themselves, one being jessdiva22. Find time to comment on this blog. I want your opinions.

More Secular Progressivism

After Michelle flipped to CNN and other channels, I told her to flip back to FOX News. Her excuse was to see the alleged telelog of Anna Nicole Smith's funeral. My excuse for watching FOX News: To expose "Barack Osama" and his secular progressivism:

The No-Fact Zone
Posted on Mar 2 2007 1:18:36 PST 2007 by Barack Osama
You don't even recognize your hypocrisy within your responses. Your statements alone are contradictory to everything you and your precious Fox "news" claim to be. Fox thrives on smear campaigns against anyone even remotely left of their ideology. Just take their incredibly weak response to so-called liberal humour, The 1/2 Hour News. An entire episode spent making fun of Ed Begley jr. because he drives a hybrid car. God forbid anyone not guzzle as much gasoline as possible and actually have some consideration for the health of the planet we live on. You yourself have claimed to disagree with some of what Bill O'Reilly has said. What about his ridiculously blatant hypocrisy. Last week O'Reilly cried about MSNBC doing a hit piece on Mitt Romney when Chip Reid said Romney was a flip flopper. Which was a joke anyway, because many conservatives and conservative news outlets have also called Romney a flip flopper, something you never heard from O'Reilly. He complained that it was two liberals attacking Romney with nobody from the right to provide any balance, and he said that was unfair. Yet on Thursday night O'Reilly and Dick Morris did a hit piece on Obama, with nobody from the left to provide any balance. So you have O'Reilly doing the exact same thing he complained about Chip Reid doing to Romney on MSNBC. It is total hypocrisy, and a biased double standard. Follow this link for hard evidence of more hypocrisy from Bill (of course course you won't read much if any beacuase you keep yourself in the dark by not reading liberal literature, probably because you may develop some kind of perspective or understanding on a different point of view and we can't have that now.) Fox is scrictly a conservative news network, and that in itself makes it unfair and unbalanced. Other "news" networks such as CNN are far from fair and balanced, leaning to the left, but they don't come within a cunt-hair of Fox's steep partisan slant. The fact that all of our major media outlets have personal agendas and politics to maintain, procludes true fair an balanced media. No matter what kind of lofty ideals and intentions are intended, be it fair and non-partisan media or honesty and integrity in politics, these ideals always become corrupted. It has been happening since the beginning of mankind, and is inevitable. So don't try and tout some book you've read as being morally superior or unbiased relative to whatever I may read. I happen to read "conservative" and "liberal" literature, and have watched enough CNN, FOX, and MSNBC to know that none of them provide true no-spin information. And if you think one is better than the other then you truly are ignorant to politics and life in general. If so, one can only hope with age comes wisdom. Trust nothing implicitly, know nothing implicitly.

"Breaking News: God Has A Plan"

This is breaking news reported by Neil Cavuto minutes ago: Defense Secretary Robert Gates has confirmed another resignation. The Army Secretary has resigned, leaving someone else to be another Secretary, just like Gates got to take Rumsfield's office.

How Soon The Rapture's Coming..Oh My Gosh!

DOW Jones dropping, people dying, Muslims coming back full force and the secularist Muslim deniers disavowing themselves from "radicals". People aren't being real, and God is doing two things- one, judging (Soddom and Gomorrah, anyone?) and allowing some disasters.



Read Mattityahu 24 and Iyov 23:



Matthew 24; Job 23 (New King James Version)
New King James Version (NKJV)
Matthew 24



Matthew 24
Jesus Predicts the Destruction of the Temple
1 Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”
The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age

3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all[a]these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences,[b] and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
The Great Tribulation

15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’[c] spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.
26 “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.
The Coming of the Son of Man

29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
The Parable of the Fig Tree

32 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it[d] is near—at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
No One Knows the Day or Hour

36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven,[e] but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour[f] your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant

45 “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. 47 Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ [g] 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, 51 and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Job 23


Job 23
Job Proclaims God’s Righteous Judgments
1 Then Job answered and said:
2 “Even today my complaint is bitter;
My[a] hand is listless because of my groaning.

3 Oh, that I knew where I might find Him,
That I might come to His seat!

4 I would present my case before Him,
And fill my mouth with arguments.

5 I would know the words which He would answer me,
And understand what He would say to me.

6 Would He contend with me in His great power?
No! But He would take note of me.

7 There the upright could reason with Him,
And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.

8 “Look, I go forward, but He is not there,
And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;

9 When He works on the left hand, I cannot behold Him;
When He turns to the right hand, I cannot see Him.

10 But He knows the way that I take;
When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.

11 My foot has held fast to His steps;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.

12 I have not departed from the commandment of His lips;
I have treasured the words of His mouth
More than my necessary food.

13 “But He is unique, and who can make Him change?
And whatever His soul desires, that He does.

14 For He performs what is appointed for me,
And many such things are with Him.

15 Therefore I am terrified at His presence;
When I consider this, I am afraid of Him.

16 For God made my heart weak,
And the Almighty terrifies me;

17 Because I was not cut off from the presence of darkness,
And He did not hide deep darkness from my face.

"True Freedom Lover" Truly Chained by Georges

" ROFLMFAO
Posted on Feb 27 2007 23:53:12 PST 2007 by true freedom lover(not that pseudo-christian freedom that actually restricts true freedom into oppressive self-sacrifice and delusion)
Are you talking to yourself, "Anonymous", or do you think there's a problem with exposing sin? Are you the one who posted the comments made by who says they're "sick of [what you call] far right christian bullshit "?



I am literally rolling on the floor laughing my fucking ass off! You are so unbelievably ignorant it's ridiculous. Am I talking to myself? Is that the best you have? I think religion is a joke, a crutch for weak-minded, lonely individuals who have no real answers to life, so they unknowingly brainwash themselves into believing that junk, just so that they can have a little hope in their life, and a sense of belonging. Life is a scary thing when you don't believe in an after life. I wish I could, but common sense and logic prevail. Two attributes of which you completely lack."

Okay, "true" "freedom" lover, but is your free-love mantra truly working? While you're blasting me, I'm sure you and your George pals, Soros and Lakoff, would love this biased report from Hezbollah-run media in Lebanon:

"


Earthtimes.org

Iraqis are finally taking charge of their own destiny
Daily Star - Lebanon - 2 hours ago
In the past, US President George W. Bush has frequently tried to convince the world of his baseless idea that things are getting better in Iraq.

By the way, I read Culture Warrior and the Bible like you read the secular-progressive press, which hides just like you do behind smear campaigns.

Another Bias "Post" Post

With Secretary of State Condeleeza "Condi" Rice (and apparently Chairman-Senator Carl Levin) appearing on FOX News' Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, The Washington Post had this to say on Google's News page in the preview of their article:

"Rice, Levin Hint at Iraq Debate
Washington Post - 2 hours ago
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Armed Services Committee chairman Sen. Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.) previewed on the Sunday shows the upcoming debate on Capitol Hill over Democratic plans to try to take control of President Bush's war policy." [emphasis added]

This "post" by the Post seemed to discredit or unrecognize FOX News.

Still Struggling

While another Denver Broncos player passes away, chilling reports come out about the "Reverend" Al Sharpton, and new videos and updates come up about Anna Nicole Smith, Britney Spears, and John F. Kennedy, the news in my own life doesn't seem to matter much. But I was jealous of the just-passed Broncos player because he had friends in his death. Also, I know that "man not knoweth his time", but I'd like my time to either be someone on earth just for a minute or have the Rapture come. I'm thinking that Iran and these other Middle East and "Axis of Evil" countries murder us, then, like my friends said, maybe that's the fire that God chooses to allow the end the world with.

Maybe I am getting more personal and less "newsy" on my blog, but it's like Neil Cavuto's "Common Sense", and like my pastor would say- it's common sense that it all doesn't make sense, but if we try to understand that God can make sense of everything, and we can get past what doesn't seem to make sense, then the world will understand that God does make sense.

The Aftermath

I still struggle with wanting fame, and am jealous of many people, including my sister's boyfriend, who I know could get famous.

Geraldo and Commercials

As I'm trying to watch whatever of "Geraldo At Large" I can as my sister and her boyfriend are trying to watch DVD "North and South" (as my mom is now hitting "Play" after I help her set it up), I can now only blog on what I saw.

While my mom and my sister's boyfriend are waiting for my sister to sit down, so they can play the DVD, they tried to get me to watch it and are talking to each other. I get distracted and look time-to-time around at the TV screen and listen to the conversation, but here are some points:

With what I can see, amen Laurie Dhue and soldiers. Why treat celebrities better in life and death? Also, sorry Cheney", but "all options" for Iran mean talk to them or they and the "Axis of Evil" will try to get us, as we have to deal with tornadoes in Dumas, Arkansas, and other weather warnings. It's getting hard to type when the keyboard is near a dark kitchen, and they'll play the movie soon.

I Broke Down
I cried a little after talking a bit and maybe losing it at dinner, and felt, for a while, sick to my stomach and bowels. I tell you, I'm feeling lonely and friendless. I can get distracted and multitask by listening to conversations in the house, and think about about the cat under the computer, by my foot, who tried to dig into the trash. But I still feel anxious as I type this.

My Own Lamentations
Listening To: My sister's boyfriend playing the piano
I'm feeling like a need to a friend. I even thought about Jeremiah and Lamentations while asking, "God, why won't you send me one friend?" or something like that. "I need a friend." I need someone talk to. I'm close to crying. Sometimes I actually watch the news to focus on the world instead of myself, because I have less problems than the world combined, although I'm just like Paul- "the chief of sinners"- and the rest of Adam's seed.

I'm going to try some of watch "Geraldo At Large", which comes on at 8:00 PM EST, and maybe blog on Geraldo later. But I have to eat first.

Breakdown? Maybe
Listening To: The heater and other noises
The War on Terror in Iraq and around the world; the Western and other cultures, and just the world in general is getting hopeless. I may be breaking down, or struggling with high emotions. I read a poll that many are either getting "worried, compassionate, angry, tired" or everything else to numb (81% all the way down to 27%, for worried to numb, respectively). Also, the American and Western cultures are getting more focused on death or desperate measures (getting pregnant as a single minor in England as a means of being "fashionable", for example). I also am highly struggling with being famous, and bringing up the subject of fame with my family and sister's boyfriend (who came over to have a belated Valentine's Day dinner, which my mom is cooking for my sister and her boyfriend). They're ignoring me now and when they were beginning to ignore me, I even said something like, "Oh boy, you guys are really sympathetic" or "being sympathetic".

I'm also getting tired of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and every other liberal blasting Dick Cheney, John Howard, and George W. Bush. I think Tony Blair is even chickening out by taking Hillary Clinton's demands to Bush and moving his troops to Afghanistan.

On Part of a Conversation I Had

"I'm, to be honest, lonely. Lonely and scared of this world."


"By the way, when I said I'm lonely and scared, I'm lonely and scared. I mean, I was of this world once, but I've been an alien in it since I was saved."

I said that in a chatroom to someone, and she said "lol" in between those statements, then left before I talked about being saved. But it's like that Superbowl event: I feel lonely. After reading this one news article while I was FoxNews.com recently, the loneliness and fear intensified. I'd like to be able to remember that perfect love does cast out fear, but it's hard. I mean, "Take heart, for I have overcome the world" can be comforting words, and I used to be part of this world, but now I'm a citizen of Heaven as well. But even in America, I'm not exactly encouraged to be a citizen of the United States of America or the Kingdom of Heaven.

Driven Up A Wall

My sister is driving me up a wall, and my mom has a point. Maybe we didn't get to live that American dream childhood, but, sorry, sis, we can't relive it. "God gives everyone different childhoods," and in Jewish society, if you were 12, you were going to get married or be a cultural anomaly. Jeremiah was, and he had it rough. Job had it rougher with a wife.

I've told Michelle to "shut up", and I'm already struggling OCD and am, like my physical therapist's friend, getting tired of this country. I feel like her and her friend: Being anti-homosexuality or not feeling comfortable with a homosexual hitting on you isn't homophobic. Expecting immigrants to speak our language when they're in our country, working in our institutions and facilities, isn't intolerant or racist. Being conservative isn't "old-fashioned" or "prude" or "intolerant."

I'm not voting Barack Obama or Hilary Clinton. Who knows what Usama bin Laden could get away with or from, as my physical therapist's friend said, again? Also, Mike Straka's book has a good title. Celebrities and idols of fame and other issues, such as secular progressivism and abortion, and ruining this country. If the books of Jeremiah and Revelation stand true, then life begins before, not at, conception. "Before the foundation of the world," "Before you were formed in the womb, I knew you...I know the plans I have for you."

If God knows us, what do we have to hide? It's not good to be anticonformist, but like the Bible says, the only good conforming is conforming to God.

Drop Out and "Look What the Cat Dragged In"

As protests, wars, controversies, and fights continue, here's a highlight of the notes:

While former governor Tom Vilsack (D-IA) drops out of the Presidential race, Jimmy Carter tries to drag Al Gore (the former Vice Presidential candidate and Oscar nominee for An Incovienient Truth) into the race, aggraviting him.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama continue to fight in light of David Geffen's comments, causing a storm.
Anna Nicole Smith still cannot rest in peace as Vergie Arthur continues to appeal the burial desicion, and no dad for Dannielynn Marshall has been determined.
Even the monrach of a Middle East nation, known as King Abdullah, has said that peace in the Middle East is looking closer to impossible; while the U.S. military may give a pass to legal immigrants by letting them serve in Iraq.
The Justice Department is letting Sandy Berger pass up on classified documents, while Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) are trying to revise and pass a new war resolution for Iraq.

Wasted Time:

Iran- Even the UN should've known Iran wasn't going to meet its uranium enrichment deadline.
