What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
We had a fig tree in my backyard growing up and here's what happens with a fig tree every winter.It loses all its leaves, but it looks dead, absolutely dead.
Like it's been dry for years. And you could just push it over with a light shove every year. I'd look out at this tree and I'd say, hey, dad, are we going to chop that thing down? It's dead. And he'd say, just wait.
Just wait for spring. I think he was crazy. And then sure enough, every year it's spring leaf start coming back. That awful stinky fruit starts coming back and falling all over the ground again. Things are nasty. I'm sorry if that's offensive to you. And this would happen every single year.
And when you put this all together, all these pieces together, many pastors, including me, believe that this Remez is pointing to this prophetic picture that political Israel is going to be dead for a winter season, just like a fig tree. However, there's going to come a time when all of a sudden political Israel is going to start coming back to life like a fig tree bearing leaves in the spring.
And that what Jesus is saying is, hey, when you see that happen, when you see political Israel come back to life, know that the kingdom of God, the second coming, all these end times, events are right about to happen.
So would you write this down and I'll talk about. Some more Jesus's teaching that the rebirth of political Israel will be a sign that in times events are very, very near.
They are very, very near.
And how true this has been and how history has played out. We are miraculously on course with this interpretation of the parable of the fig tree.
Let me tell you the story. Fascinating story of 20th century history. If you've been with us the past few weeks, you know that in 70 A.D., the Romans have just had it with Israel. They're tired of these attempted rebellions. The Jews will never do what they tell them to do. They're mad. And so they say, we're done with Israel. We're burning this whole thing to the ground. They destroy the city of Jerusalem to the ground.
A million and a half Jews lose their lives in just 18 months and they run for their lives across the world in the event known as the diaspora. They go to Poland, they go to Ethiopia, they go to Bokha in south Florida. They go all over the world in the diaspora.
What the Romans do is they rename the territory Felicio after Israel's greatest traditional enemies, the Philistines. And in that language at that time, the more common way of saying Finistere was simply Palestine, Palestine. That's where the name comes from. And that's how it got called, that it was an insult toward Israel by the Romans.
A few straggling Jews try to attempt a few guerrilla rebellions, and they're all wiped out completely by 132 A.D. And after that, the land formerly known as Israel becomes a desolate wasteland.
Nobody even wants it. Nobody is fighting over Israel at that time. Indeed, the nation of Israel found itself in a long winter, ceasing to exist as a country like a fig tree.
Israel looked dead. Israel looked dead because for 19 hundred years, basically, she was, and as the centuries passed, even the world's greatest Bible students and theologians began to say, Listen, I know, I know there's all these prophecies in the Bible that require Israel to exist and Jerusalem to exist and for there to be a temple and all these things.
But listen, it's been 500 years, a thousand years, 1400 years, 900 years. And I feel pretty confident saying Israel is dead. Its place has been a wasteland for centuries. Nothing's happening here.
So we must be interpreting the Bible wrong that this must be something else. It must be an allegory, a metaphor or something, because the idea of Israel becoming a country again after 1500 years was laughable.
What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
I'll say this in relation to what I've just said and in relation what I'm about to say, any time Mr. Passerby's here teaching, we would always encourage you to test what we say against the scriptures. Don't believe anything that I say because you hear me say it.Get into the Bible for yourself, dig into it for yourself. If you completely disagree with me and think I'm crazy and want to get in the Bible to prove me wrong. Praise God. That would be awesome. I'd love to see you dig into the Bible. Even if you want to try and just prove me wrong, I would welcome that.
So do your own research, have some good discussions, but get into the word for yourself.
I also want to be as transparent with you as I can be.
There are sort of two levels to this metaphor, this parable that Jesus gives about the fig tree.
He says now learn this parable from the fig tree when its branches already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know, that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near at the door.
There's sort of two levels to this, as there are multiple levels to things all over the scriptures. Perhaps you've had this experience, you read something in the Bible, you go back, you read the same thing a year later and you see something, you get something out of it you didn't get last time because there are layers to the word of God.
It's inexhaustible. You can understand it on one level. Then you grow, you become more like Jesus. You have more of the spirit in you. You go back and read again with greater understanding. You get more out of it, you get more out of it, you get more out of it.
And so the first level that we want to talk about here that's worth mentioning, it's the view that Jesus is simply saying to those who are listening to him, especially the Jews, that all the signs he's told them about Antichrist, the temple being rebuilt, the abomination of desolation, the tribulation, all these things are signs that the second coming is imminent. It's about to happen. Just like leaves on a tree are a sign that summer is on the way.
And because in Luke's account, it doesn't just say fig tree.
It says, look at the fig tree and all the trees. Some will hold the view and they'll say that that's all there is to it. There's just this one level. Jesus is just saying, hey, when you see all these things happening, the second coming is very, very close. We would also learn from this. Things like all these things are going to take place in one generation.
All these things are going to take place in one generation, not spread out across different centuries.
So that level is true. It's absolutely correct. That is what Jesus is saying. That is what the Bible is saying.
But there's a second view that I personally hold to and I'm going to dive a little deep into. But I wanted you to understand that that first level first, because there's another level and the rabbis call it a Remez, a Remez, and so a Remez is like a hidden, deeper, mystical level to a passage of scripture.
And they believe many do, including me, that there is such a Remez in this parable of the fig tree.
Because you see throughout the Bible, whenever the fig tree shows up, it's always in proximity to Israel being talked about as a nation politically every time it shows up in the Bible.
So would you write this down? First of all, in the Bible, the fig tree is used as a type of political Israel. It's used as a type of political Israel.
And even if you take Haluk words into account, Jesus still specifically mentions the fig tree. He could have just said learn from the trees.
But in all three gospels, he specifically highlights a fig tree and nothing in the Bible is by accident. What's unique about the fig tree is that it follows the seasons very intensely, unusually intensely.
What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
With that in mind, he says in verse 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. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near at the doors now to make sure that we're connecting the dots, I want you to know that the summer Jesus refers to in verse 32 and the IT in verse thirty three, the subject of this prophecy is the Kingdom of God. And you say, how do you know that, Jeff?
Well, we know it because in Luke 21 31, it records these words of Jesus this way. It's on your outlines.
So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near, the kingdom of God is near. How near did he say?
At the doors, at the doors, giving us this picture of Jesus standing with his hand at the doorknob, about to turn it. And if you've studied Revelation, that's a cross reference to revelation for one.
If you want to dig into that now, I have to take a second for you.
Theology nerds, people who love to study the Bible, want to know more about it, want to dig into it. I've got to take a minute, basically, just to stir up some trouble and give you something great to talk about among yourselves.
OK, Jesus says when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. Now to state the obvious, if the kingdom of God is near, if it's almost here, then it can't be here yet.
It can't be here yet.
So when you hear certain theological camps talk about how the kingdom of God is already here on the earth, spreading across the earth, everything's being made new. Everything's already being redeemed. We know from the words of Jesus that is not the case. The phrase the kingdom of God refers to something very specific in the Bible.
It refers to the literal and physical rule and reign of Jesus.
It refers to Jesus being physically and literally in a place ruling and raining. It refers to the king raining over his kingdom.
So let me walk you through this, not trick questions. Is Jesus literally and physically raining in heaven right now?
Yes, he is. Absolutely.
Is Jesus literally and physically in his physical body raining on the earth right now?
No, he's not.
Can't go to Jerusalem. Who's ruling on the earth right now?
Satan. That's right, according to the Bible, according to Jesus himself, Satan is the God of this age right now. Therefore, where is the kingdom of God right now? It's in heaven physically and it's in us spiritually. When will the kingdom of God come to the earth at the second coming when Jesus literally and physically returns to the Earth to rule and reign from Jerusalem.
And I don't know about you when someone says, well, listen, Jeff, I disagree. I think the kingdom of God is already here, all over the Earth. What I usually like to say is, well, I got to tell you if it is. I'm horribly disappointed because I had much higher expectations. I don't know about you, but I think when Jesus is ruling and reigning on the earth, I think he's going to do better than 20, 20.
I hope you can say amen to that. I think Jesus can do better than 20, 20. The truth is the kingdom of God has not yet come. That's why Jesus taught his disciples to pray for it to come. He said, When you pray, pray like this.
Thy kingdom what come? Because it's not here yet. That's why we long for it. That's why we long for it. Because we know that when it comes. Man, nobody's going to be disappointed, nobody's going to be left out, it's not going to be some cause of justice that is overlooked when Jesus is ruling and reigning. I got high expectations, and you should, too. So would you write this down?
The Kingdom of God refers to the literal rule and reign of Jesus, which will begin at the second coming.
RE: How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.
Mike Pence was never in the military, his father was in the Army and served in the Korean War (1950-1953) and his son is in the Marines. Due to his politics and family background, Pence considers himself a supporter of the US military and he most certainly stabbed Trump in the back...
Is Donald Trump actually an Anti-Christ?
Making excuses for Trump before he’s even elected is exactly why he should not be elected.Is Donald Trump actually an Anti-Christ?
So tell me exactly which countries has NATO invaded?Using NATO as an excuse to invade a sovereign nation is pathetic in the extreme.
How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.
If the US selected a responsible person to be President, no one outside of the US would have any reason to talk about American politics, you made the bed so you must lay in it.The fact you refuse to accept responsibility for selecting two geriatric and totally unsuitable men as Presidential candidates is exactly what is wrong with US Society today.
RE: How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.
Pence is a Rino and that's why he- and the others like him, don't support Trump.I just love how you idiots from other countries think you're so smart when it comes to politics in our country.
RE: How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.
You mentioned history rizlared yeah right what history are you on about?Donald Trump wants to change the world from the White House. Here's what he's said he'd do in a second term
"If Trump is elected in 2024, he will surround himself with people who adhere to his worldview and are therefore less hostile to Russia and more sympathetic to Putin."
Despite persistent rocky relations between their two countries over issues ranging from human rights to spy balloons, Trump has no issue praising China's president, Xi Jinping.
"I like President Xi a lot," Trump told Fox News this week. "He was a very good friend of mine during my term."

Donald:
Frederick Christ Trump Sr was Donald Trump father, Frederick was an honest person who aquired considerable finacil gains by assisting the worlds oldest honest ladies profession.
Early life and career. Trump's father, the German American Friedrich Trump, amassed considerable wealth during the Klondike Gold Rush by running a restaurant and brothel for the miners. Friedrich returned to Kallstadt in 1901, and, by the next year, met and married Elizabeth Christ.
At age Donald entered the New York Military Academy, a private boarding school. In 1964, he enrolled at Fordham University. Two years later, he transferred to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in May 1968 with a Bachelor of Science in economics.
President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia is militarily ready for a Cuban Missile-style crisis if the United States is foolish enough to want one and that his country currently has the edge when it comes to a first nuclear strike.
The Cuban Missile crisis erupted in 1962 when Moscow responded to a US missile deployment in Turkey by sending ballistic missiles to Cuba, sparking a standoff that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.
More than five decades on, tensions are rising again over Russian fears that the United States might deploy intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Europe as a landmark cold war-era arms control treaty unravels.
It is my opinion Putin is doing his duty lawfully defending the Democratic Russian Federation according to their Constitution, which includes all of Ukraine.
Putin worked for KGB prior the ending of communist Russia; he acquired single pointed concentration from his interest in marital arts and in my opinion has mindfully been tracking Biden for a very long long time. Remember Biden first appeared in US House Committee in 1969 and in 1971 declared he would put troops in Ukraine in 1971, fives years before current pope nominated Argentinean general with support CIA overthrow Argentinean government the same general who disappeared 31,000 people.
RE: Embroiled...
The stock price fell to around $42 Friday, wiping out billions of dollars in value, including $1 billion of Trump's own net worth.I think this proves once and for all that Trump is no Businessman, never has been and never will be.
He is just a sleazy con artist.
How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.
Absolutely, no President can singlehanded change the constitution, TODAY, but what plans does Trump have that could change that ?I’m not privy to all that goes on in his warped mind plus, as has been pointed out, the GOP is no longer the Conservative Party, it is now the Trump Party, Republicans have shown they care more about supporting Trump than their own country.
Everything historically required to force a dictatorship is already in place in the US.
History can teach a lot, if you take the time to learn.
Useless trivia
What was the old expression"Let the punishment fit the crime"
Execution protocol in the US state of Missouri allows for “surgery without anaesthesia” if the typical process of finding a suitable vein to inject the lethal drug doesn’t work, lawyers for a death row inmate say in an appeal aimed at sparing his life.
Brian Dorsey, 52, is scheduled for execution Tuesday for killing his cousin and her husband at their central Missouri home in 2006. His attorneys are seeking clemency from Gov. Mike Parson and have several appeals pending.
A federal court appeal focuses on how Missouri injects the fatal dose of pentobarbital. The written protocol calls for insertion of primary and secondary intravenous lines. But it offers no guidance on how far the execution team can go to find a suitable vein, leaving open the possibility of an invasive “cutdown procedure,” Dorsey’s attorneys say
RE: Landfills of EV batteries...
i've only run across two people with ev's.one was an engineer at the plant i work at. a tesla and he loved it but was extremely mindful of the season and distances he traveled with it. also had his own home charging station installed. his wife was still driving the gas powered suv.
the second person was higher up on the corporate ladder and just visiting my facility for corporate reasons. he wasn't so gung ho. said he liked it locally. for long trips and the trip north to the plant, he would only drive his regular truck.
ev batteries are said to be able to be recycled infinitely. no standard and strictly based by manufacturer on how they are broken down to be recycled. the break down seems to be quite the process. how ever, if any thing happens that the process should be spilled into the environment, no telling how much or what the damages might be. hopefully no where near as bad as a solar plant spill might cause.
every vehicle on the road emits particles into the air just from their tires alone. ev's emit quite a bit more due to the extra weight.
we're not even remotely close to a full transition to ev. tesla paid and pays for their own charging stations. the current misadministration wants the tax payers to expand and pay for all. even the subsidies to buy and ev are on the tax payer dime. i've heard they may not be too solid for the person making the purchase in many cases due to other requirements to get those subsidies.
i'll pass on ev. there's still too much work to be done for something that isn't truly green or reliable. we need to start working on more localized resources for manufacturing alone.
already mentioned, our power grid may not be the most reliable and less so in areas forced into "green" energy sources reliant on the weather. i don't see where every person would have a readily available charging station either. how's that gonna work stranded with a dead battery? $$$$.....that's how. much more expensive.
just how much pollution and waste they'll create still doesn't quite have enough full data. compared to what the normal powered vehicle is, there isn't really enough of them on the road yet. a larger majority of people can't see the sense in giving up the convenience of a ten minute fill up or so and back on the road. other inconveniences abound that could be more detrimental in other directions.
i'm still wondering about that infinite recycling. almost any thing we know of can only be broken down so many times before it's useless and more harmful.
RE: How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.
That con/rapist took over the RNC, fired many employees and put his daughter in-law as co-chair. Employees who apply to work with the RNC must include on their application if they think January 6 happened in America. He has now file to change the name from RNC TO TNC.
He disregarded the nepotism rule when he was POTUS.
The con got an underwriter for his 175 million bond that is not licenses in the state of New York. His bond may not be valid.
These are the game the rapist plays with delay tactics.
He is playing the judicial system as a fiddle and no one is holding him accountable.
People like lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, and others follow what that rapist says although they should know better.
So many attorneys in his circle have been disbarred, and/or have been arrested and pleaded guilty to crimes they did to benefit that Con. People around him get in trouble but never him.
The same will happen (he will NOT get the opportunity) if he is POTUS. People will do as he says and the Constitution as we know it will be a thing of the past.
That rapist is telling America exactly what he will do if he becomes POTUS. We saw this play book before and only idiots will support him by making irrational arguments to defend him.
RE: How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.
The general R don't give much of a flying f.It's been the party of the selfish in modern times.
The D's used to be good until Bill came in and made it R light,
and over the years even beat them in their own game.
So both parties suck at its core.
Biden who is senile is shoved in your faces as the most
demonstrative arrogant power trip by the DNC.
I mean why do you think Kamala laugh so much?!...
Still, why R-selfidas really go for Trump to me is harder to understand.
Must be cos they still don't give a f about nothing but winning seats or something.
- - -
Now the voters, that is something completely different!
Thay may have their heart in this and especially goes that for Trumps base,
they really love him! Like I do too.
RE: Is Donald Trump actually an Anti-Christ?
So, let's hope Trump wins in November and puts an end to this insanity!If he can. There are strong forces against him who have billions to lose on peace.
RE: Is Donald Trump actually an Anti-Christ?
You get 4 thumbs up for that? hahaPer capita ha'
Yes they shiver in their underpanties each nite.
Cos Ivan is soo grusome.
You guys go on fearing ok, but trust me there is NOTHING to fear
but fear itself here.
It's all constructed but,
if folks like Nato-Jans and Van der Layen believe their own talking points
even me can't say.
It all sounds like childrens fairy tales to me:
Grusome Ivan may soon come over that ridge. I mean I heard that when I was seriving my time in the army in 1991 man, now 33 years later we're still suposed to believe that fantasy? No I grew up. I heard Putin talk thanks to youtbue, so now OI have a pretty fair idea of who the man is- more or less. U guys been victims of WESTERN propaganda. Yes we thought such did not exists but u cs users here should by now wake up to this new reality. Somebody wants this escalation. And it's not Vlad. Not neseccerilya teh single leadership of each european country either, like Sweden and Finland, but somebody... wants this developement. And we just sit here accept it all, when we could have made friends with this arch enemy in a hand clap!

RE: How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.
Exactly. When all you have is Trump or Biden to run a country the size of the U.S.A. it speaks volumes.
They are both in their dotage and catching me up.
RE: Is Donald Trump actually an Anti-Christ?
I'm far from confused Grand. Are you aware that Poland per capita pays almost as much percentage as the U.S. Wonder why?RE: How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.
That illustrate how weak R is.They can seriously not come up with a proper candidate to compete with him?
I mean he is fab, but the rest of the field is rather weak.
Are you ashemd of that fact chat, that thay even go as far as to supporting Trump?
I don't blame you if you do.
I feel they are just using him for now, to as you say "stay in power".
He should had gone third party!
With the good Tulsi and Kennedy.jr, what a trio!.
Heck throw Bernie in there too.
It would even work cos it's the "people first".
What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
And then he says, if you're Jewish and you feel like the world is ending in this time as Antichrist tries to wipe you out, when you see all these things happening, remember, your redemption draws near. Why? Because for them, God is about to open their eyes. And finally.Finally. Make them recognize him as their messiah and he's going to redeem Israel, our brother Paul tells us in Romans 11 that at this time all Israel will be saved. And the redemption that we're talking about when Jesus is your redemption draws near the redemption that comes along with the second coming. It's not just for the Saints. It's not just for the Jews. It's not just about people. He's talking about the redemption of the earth and the whole universe.
You know, the whole universe is in a state of entropy. It's in a state of decay. The universe itself is winding down. Everything in creation right now is dying.
Everything, every star, every cell, every bit of material matter in the universe is dying.
And when Jesus returns to the earth, entropy will be reversed and everything that is broken will begin to be made whole and made new and put back together and healed and restored and redeemed. They're going to close hospitals and orphanages when Jesus reigns on the earth because we won't need them, we won't need them. People will be made whole. All the people that are in prison because they're part of the cycle of generational abuse and trauma.
They're going to be healed. There's going to be redemption. There's going to be restoration when Jesus comes to the earth. That's why he says now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads because your redemption draws near.
And now, for clarity's sake, I want to make sure we understand the rapture and the second coming are two completely separate and distinct events. The big picture is that the rapture is Jesus coming for his church to collect this church.
The second coming is Jesus coming with this church. We're with him at the second coming. The rapture takes place before the tribulation. The second coming takes place at the end of the tribulation and we move on to verse 32. We'll make it through two whole words here. Jesus says, now learn, now learn. And I want you to underline the word learn, because there's only three times that. Jesus says specifically we are to learn something.
And I think there's something significant here in Matthew nine 13, Jesus says, go and learn what this means.
I desire mercy and not sacrifice in Matthew. 11-29.
Jesus says, take my yoke upon you and learn from me. For I am gentle and lowly off heart and you'll find rest for your souls.
And then here in verse 32 in Matthew 24, once again, Jesus is going to say Learn now, learn.
Now, let me ask you again, not a trick question.
Do you think that Jesus was serious those other two times he said learn he was serious? You bet.
So I think we can safely assume he's serious here, too. And according to those verse is, there are three things that Jesus wants us to be students of now. Now, when we say students, we mean Jesus are saying, I don't want you to just read this. I don't want you to just believe this and agree with this. I want you to dig into this and understand what it means. I want you to really dig into this and study this and understand what it means.
According to Jesus, the three things he wants us to especially be students of are mercy, Jesus himself and Bible prophecy. He says, you got to learn mercy. You got to learn how to understand it. You've got to learn about me. You've got to know me personally. And then you've got to understand Bible prophecy because it'll change the way you live your life.
With that in mind, he says in verse 32. Now learn this parable from the fig tree when its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves.
RE: Is Donald Trump actually an Anti-Christ?
Trump and nato- Trump want something very logical for Nato:to be more independent and less dependent on American support.
America first u see.
So all this pulling out is rethorical to make each member state pay more.
That is why you'll be confused by his appearant u turns as his goal is not to pull out as such
but to pull more money out of member states pockets.
What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
Unbelievably, there's going to be a force allied to Antichrist and Satan, and they're going to think that they can take on God with weapons. It's bizarre, but that's what they're going to think. And when Jesus returns with all of us with them, his church, his saints with him, that battle is going to be over in an instant with one word from the mouth of Jesus.And so I don't know that it deserves to be called a battle when it's over in one word from the king of kings. So that's what's going to happen.
Jesus tells us that as the whole world sees him, they will mourn.
They will mourn. That's a strange word. Why would that be the case? Jesus is coming back to the earth. Why are people mourning?
Well, just imagine this. Hundreds of millions of people who have rejected Jesus rejected the gospel over and over and over, wouldn't listen, wouldn't repent. Even as God is raining down, judgment from heaven wouldn't listen. Even as angels fly across the heavens, preaching the gospels wouldn't listen because no sign is ever enough. And then all of a sudden those people see Jesus coming on the clouds and glory and power. And you know what, disappears in an instant.
At that moment, every stupid argument that says God doesn't really exist when he's right there. There he is.
And every eye will see him.
And in that moment, in that instant, when they're confronted with the reality of Jesus in his glory and power, here's why they're going to mourn, because they're going to know it's too late.
It's too late. That's why they're going to mourn. I had you underline the word see, because it's a fascinating thing in the original Greek, the word sea actually means sea and that's important because of everything Jesus is talking about has already happened.
If it all happened in the first and second century A.D., I got to think, at least, at least like a few people would have noticed, the son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and glory. If everyone's going to see it, I think a few people would remember.
Obviously, again, the only rational explanation here is that Jesus is talking about events that have not happened yet. And so just to make sure we're all on the same page here, make note of this.
It's your first fill in. The second coming takes place at the end of the seven year tribulation.
The second coming takes place at the end of the seven year tribulation and will go on in verse 31, it says, and he that's Jesus 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.
And I like the way that Mark 13 records these same words of Jesus. Mark says it like this from the farthest part of Earth to the farthest part of heaven.
You see, when Jesus refers to his elect, he's referring to those on the earth who turn to Jesus during the tribulation and somehow survived, as well as all of the surviving Jews.
But I want you to notice that, as Mark points out, these elect are both on the earth and in heaven. And so this tells us that that this is a gathering of all the saints of God, those on the earth and those in heaven.
And they're all coming together to join with Jesus on the earth in Jerusalem for what is basically is welcome back party. That's what it is. And it's going to be the greatest party that has ever taken place in the history of the world up to that point.
And then Luke, 21, adds this comment from Jesus.
Now, when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads because your redemption draws near. Jesus says, listen, if you're one who turns to me in the tribulation, you weren't saved when the rapture happens, but you turn to me in the tribulation and you see all these signs happening, it's good news for you because I am you're king.
Jesus Christ is about to return to the earth. Hold on. I'm coming, he says.
RE: Is Donald Trump actually an Anti-Christ?
I know that but it seems Grand is totally unaware of Putin's intentions.
Same as Trump doing a U turn about pulling out of N.A.T.O. if he's re-elected.
What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
]They're going to heaven, but they have a different view on this. And they will say, well, Jesus is really talking about events that actually all happened between 70 A.D. and 1-28 between the fall of Jerusalem and the diaspora and these events where Israel was scattered all over the Earth and all these things have already happened. And the interesting thing is the first part of Verse 8 -29 shows that cannot be the case because the tribulation that Jesus describes here is going to be, in his own words, immediately followed by the second coming of Jesus to the earth.Now, let me ask you, this is not a trick question. Was the tribulation experienced by Israel between 70, 80 and 120 A.D. immediately followed by the second coming of Jesus, back to the earth?
No, even if you weren't there, you know, no, it was not so therefore, Jesus is clearly referring to a tribulation that is coming in the future. It hasn't come yet. And here's what Jesus says is going to happen at the end of that future tribulation right before the second coming.
He says 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.
Now it means what it says. When this time comes, the sun and the moon are not going to give any visible light.
And when it says the stars will fall from heaven, the word fall in the original Greek means be without effect.
And so when you put it all together, I believe that Jesus is telling his disciples that at that time the sky is going to be completely blacked out. The sun, the moon and the stars will not be visible. There will be no light at all coming from the heavens.
And it could be the result of a nuclear winter or it could be just a straight up supernatural event. God can do whatever he wants.
Whatever the case may be, it's going to be pretty terrifying for those on the Earth at this time.
And again, this has not happened yet in history and it didn't happen between 70 A.D. in 120 A.D. Luke's gospel records the same teaching by Jesus.
And I put something from Luke's gospel on your outlines. Luke adds these details. And on the earth, distress of nations with perplexity. That just means problems with no solutions. The sea in the waves, roaring men's hearts, failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming upon the earth. You see, during the seven years of the tribulation, people are going to be terrified because one terrible judgment from heaven after another is going to rain down on the earth.
And so everyone is going to be wondering with dread what's next.
Kind of like how we feel in 2020, but way, way, way, way worse, and yet we know from Scripture that most of the people on the earth at that time will continue to stubbornly reject God.
And their desire to reject God will be even stronger than their fear.
And they still won't turn to God. Now let's go back to Matthew 24, In verses 30, and this is one of those verse is that it just hypes me up and I honestly generally struggle to read this aloud because I'm just so overwhelmed by it. This is like it's going to be the greatest moment of my life when this happens Verse 8 30 than 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, with power and great glory.
And I want you to underline the words see other places in scripture.
Tell us that when Jesus returns to the Earth at this time, he's going to make a pit stop at a place in Israel called the Valley of Megiddo, where the poorly named Battle of Armageddon will take place. I say poorly named because it's not going to be a battle.
Unbelievably, there's going to be a force allied to Antichrist and Satan, and they're going to think that they can take on God with weapons. It's bizarre, but that's what they're going to think.

REAKING: Elections Expert Releases FULL Voter Fraud Report for 2020 Election, Suggests 8.1M Excess Votes
By: Renaissance Pundit, August 4, 2021
Former baseball analyst and Retired Army Intelligence Captain Seth Keshel has announced his 2020 Election audit, the Gateway Pundit reports. The results are staggering.
Trump won: PA, MI, WI, NV, AZ, GA, MN
Likely/Possible Trump if cyber flipping occurring: NM, VA, CO, NJ, NH
Closer than you thought: WA, OR, RI, CT, HI
Here is rough data uncovered by Keshel:
While most mainstream media sources claim the election was 100% valid, evidence continues to mount that suggests otherwise. Whether or not the extent of fraud would change the outcome, many Americans are looking for their elected officials to audit the 2020 Election.

Pence’s refusal to reject the 2020 election results on Jan. 6, 2021,
Pence never intended to introduce the fake electors — and in fact understood that he was legally prohibited from doing so, his chief of staff Marc Short said in an interview. But Pence wanted to clearly communicate his rationale for that decision to Trump supporters, who had been led to believe it was possible.
Days before Jan. 6, 2021, Short said, Pence took an active role in crafting the specific language he used during the session of Congress that was later disrupted by a pro-Trump mob intent on preventing the election from being finalized.
Pence said that he’d begun election night in 2020 confident, but things changed later in the evening, he wrote, when results in states with large shares of mail-in ballots “began to shift” and the Trump-Pence ticket’s lead “started to vanish.”
“The mood in the White House, initially ebullient, began to sour,” Pence wrote.
He described watching Trump claim in an early Wednesday morning speech that the election process had been “a fraud on the American public” and said the days that followed the election were “a little like the twilight zone,” as Trump’s team challenged states’ results.
Pence wrote that in 2018, when he was representing the United States at the ASEAN conference in Singapore – the type of meeting he says Trump “was never big on” – he was approached at a plenary session with a tap on the shoulder by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“I noticed that Putin projected a familiarity toward me. It came, I concluded, from his friendly meeting with Trump earlier in the year. It was as if we were old acquaintances,” Pence wrote. “I didn’t return the favor. I kept my expression firm and fixed, and the photo of me looking down at him with a furrowed brow and a grim expression was published around the world, just as I’d hoped it would be.”
At the end of the session, during a brief meeting requested by the Russians, Pence said Putin “was just inches from me, expecting a friendly chat.”
When Putin wrapped up his comments about restarting nuclear nonproliferation negotiations, Pence said he told the Russian leader: “Mr. President, we know what happened in 2016, and it can’t happen again.”
