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?

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.

RE: Is Donald Trump actually an Anti-Christ?

The provocation of the expansion of NATO and Ukraine applying for EU membership was the final straw.

As long as a country is at war they cannot join NATO, so Putin imposed war on Ukraine, and will maintain war for the foreseeable future or he will create a buffer zone, the eastern half (or third) of Ukraine which he will want to keep.

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

The Second Coming & Israel
Date:8/29/20

Series: Matthew...Passage: Matthew 24:29-35......Speaker: Jeff Thompson

Jesus wraps up His Olivet Discourse prophecies by talking about when He will return to the earth again at the Second Coming, and how Israel's miraculous return will mark the beginning of the end times "season".

And today, we're in the third part of our study through the Olivet discourse, a famous teaching given by Jesus to his disciples on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem just before his arrest, trial and crucifixion.

And in this teaching, Jesus talks about the future, including the end times.

He shares some incredible prophecies, some of which have already come true and others that lie in the near future. And if you missed either of the last two weeks or pastor BJ's introduction to the Olivet discourse before that, I encourage you to hop on Facebook. If you're a member of God Rock New Hope Church's website, if you're part of that church and just catch up, because this is fascinating stuff and it all builds upon itself.

And in this study, we're going to take a look at what I think is one of the most amazing prophetic subjects in the Bible. And it's a huge, prophetic subject because it was actually fulfilled potentially. In less than 100 years from where we are right now, it happened in the 20th century and so I hope I've intrigued you with that.

I'm just going to leave that hanging as we get into the study.

And if you're wondering why we would take the time to study a subject like Bible prophecy, if you're thinking, why don't we just talk about something more practical and related to everyday life? It's because Bible prophecy builds our faith.

It reminds us that God is real. His promises are real. His word is true. He knows the future and he holds it in his hands. And so let's allow the Holy Spirit to build our faith as we discover more that God has said in his word that has already happened and is yet to come.

If you were with us last week, then you will recall that in Matthew 24, Jesus spent Verse is 15 to 28 talking about events that are going to take place in this span of time called the seven year tribulation. We're talking about some freaky stuff like Antichrist, the abomination of desolation and all that stuff. And if you don't know what I'm talking about and you're suddenly scared that you've maybe stumbled upon a cult, you haven't, I promise. Just hang with us, see where we're going today.

Go back and listen to last week's message and you'll be caught up on everything. Says we dive into today's study at Verse 8/ 29. Read there with me. Jesus shifts gears and he says immediately after the tribulation of those days. And I want you to underline that if you're a note taker, because whatever Jesus is about to talk about next, he's telling us that it's going to take place after the seven year tribulation.

But I want you to notice what Jesus also says. He says it will take place immediately after the tribulation immediately. In fact, this event could easily be considered the event that ends the tribulation. Jesus is going to be talking about the event known as the second coming. You supposed to gasp there, let's do that one more time, OK? Jesus is going to talk about the event known as the second coming. I know, I know. It's incredible.

It's incredible. I had to underline that first part of Verse 8 /29 for a simple reason. You know, when you talk about Matthew 24, the Olivet discourse, Jesus talking about the future, there are many Christians who love Jesus.

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.

RE: How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.

I listened to a few podcasts about this. As much as Republican lawmakers despise dislike him, they also fear him... The Republican party has become the party of Trump and they will follow/support him as it's the only way they can remain in power.

What provocationdunno Putin didn't like the idea of Ukraine joining N.A.T.O. so that's an excuse to go in and destroy the country. Oh no I forgot it was to get rid of the Nazis.

Same as in 1999 when he decided to attack Chechnya the West were not involved.

RE: Is Donald Trump actually an Anti-Christ?

I have a lot to say about this- but I'll try to keep it half short:
it's just silly making Putin into this monster
when what he did was react to OUR provocation.
It's just immature to think that he or any of his successors
will ever try to make a move on scandinavia.

I simply do not understand that these statesmen in scandinavia seriously think Putin is a threat to our security. I can almost not believe it to such a degree that I sometimes wonder if they are just lying to us on purpose, making the illusion there is a threat only to make american and european arms producers happy.
Or any of the other contractors involved.

That's all just Bluff and Bluster. He can't change the Constitution single handed. He needs a lot of cooperation from government (2/3 majority in both houses) to make changes to the Constitution. No, there are a lot of people (MAGA people) who love Trump’s fighting talk, that's all it is.

RE: How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.

Morning Merlot.,

For starters he will try to annul all the charges against him possibly claiming Presidential immunity and that in itself will be a huge issue for the Constitution.Oh yes ,of course he is totally innocent of any claims made against him according to his fans.

Don't you find it odd that a man would try to sell "his" Bible along with sneakers and perfume on a campaign trail dunno That in itself smacks of egotism.

The financial camps which he is relying on have very different ideas about what a second Trump administration should look like, and finance types are not keen on funding Trump’s legal battles — not to mention his plan for a 10 per cent import tariff.

Both Trump and Biden are unfit for purpose. America needs to wake up.J.M.O

RE: Landfills of EV batteries...

New tech's potential to significantly reduce energy storage costs

Researchers are hoping that a new, low-cost battery which holds four times the energy capacity of lithium-ion batteries and is far cheaper to produce will significantly reduce the cost of transitioning to a decarbonised economy.

Led by Dr Shenlong Zhao from the University’s School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, the battery has been made using sodium-sulphur – a type of molten salt that can be processed from sea water – costing much less to produce than lithium-ion.

Although sodium-sulphur (Na-S) batteries have existed for more than half a century, they have been an inferior alternative and their widespread use has been limited by low energy capacity and short life cycles.

Using a simple pyrolysis process and carbon-based electrodes to improve the reactivity of sulphur and the reversibility of reactions between sulphur and sodium, the researchers’ battery has shaken off its formerly sluggish reputation, exhibiting super-high capacity and ultra-long life at room temperature.
_________________________________________________
Australia alone produces 52% of the world's lithium. Unlike Chile, where lithium is extracted from brines, Australian lithium comes from hard-rock mines for the mineral spodumene. China, the third-largest producer, has a strong foothold in the lithium supply.
In Australia, Talison Lithium Ltd (51% owned by the Chengdu Tianqui Industry Group and 49% by US-based Albemarle Corporation), is the world's largest producer of hard-rock spodumene, from the Greenbushes Lithium Operations, 250 km southeast of Perth.

Chile has the largest lithium reserves worldwide by a large margin. Australia comes in second, with reserves estimated at 6.2 million metric tons in 2023.

With 22 million metric tonnes of global lithium reserves and a single EV requiring an estimated eight kilograms of lithium, global lithium reserves may be exhausted by 2030 for EV use alone. Not only the limited volume but the limited concentration of reserves pose supply chain risks for manufacturers and governments.

AS Above
Sodium-ion batteries simply replace lithium ions as charge carriers with sodium. This single change has a big impact on battery production as sodium is far more abundant than lithium. In fact, you can use salt from the oceans to extract sodium just about anywhere in the world.

RE: Landfills of EV batteries...

another question!
Where will all the Lithium,Cobalt and all the other Strategic Metals come from,if the Mandate of full Electrification with Solar and Windpower plus EV takes place!
There aren't enough of them any where on Earth to feed the demand,and recycling won't be of any help,since that only is turning over the existing quantity of those Metals,however does not increase the amount that is required !

RE: Landfills of EV batteries...

i'll also add that ev fires are about a .0012% chance vs. roughly .1% for gas powered. that doesn't mean it's safer by any means. the number of gas powered vs. the number of ev's on the road is extremely different.

estimated that 1 in 250 cars on the road are ev. 2.2%.

not a whole lot to bass any type of less fire hazard on. i think i ran across the number of 1.3 billion gas powered cars on the roads.

batteries are pretty expensive. might be better off of the op posts recycling processes. i've looked them up quite a while back. only about 90% recyclable. higher or lower depending i guess. the whole mining and manufacturing process? toxic.

gasses during the recycling process? mostly under control i hope.

RE: Landfills of EV batteries...

better to go with a hybrid than any type of ev for most people.

reading about the ford maverick lately. it might be in the regular price range for many. there are others.

still not all the negatives about evs but covers most i think. shame that the larger part of the industry is backed by tax payer dollars when it shouldn't be. let alone be shoved down peoples' throats. extreme weather conditions and hauling alone could cause more than a few safety hazards.

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

Jesus says, don't believe it. Keep hiding. Do not go back to Jerusalem yet. Writing about the Antichrist, the poll says, Paul says this in second Thessalonians, two nine, The Coming of the Lord. This one is according to the working of Satan with all power signs and lying wonders. So here's the idea. Even if you hear there's a guy doing miracles and signs and wonders, keep hiding. It's not me. Which also tells us, again, Antichrist is going to do some incredible signs and wonders when he's on the earth.

And In verses 27, Jesus tells these Jews why they don't need to worry about missing Messiah, why they don't need to worry about missing the second coming of Christ, he says, for as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will be the coming of the son of man.

So he says, guys, just like the most intense lightning you've ever seen, the kind that seems to go from one end of the sky to the other and light the whole thing up. When I come back, it's going to be like that. Nobody's going to miss it. Trust me, my entrance is going to be epic.

Verse 8 /28 for where the carcass is there, the Eagles will be gathered together, this phrase was also used by Jesus back in Luke 17/37. And at the time I taught on this, I shared that I had no idea what it meant. And I've realized since then that I still have absolutely no idea what that verse means.

I've read lots of really bad explanations from other pastors and scholars. But but I just want to be honest with you, rather than share an explanation that I don't even find credible myself, if you know the answer, if you're enlightened, please email me.

I would love to hear it. If not, add it to the list of questions we have for God when we get to heaven. And we'll find out what the answer is going to wrap up with this now.

Why does this study matter to us today? Why does it matter to us today? Because Jesus was dead accurate about what he said would unfold in 70 A.D., he was dead accurate about what he predicted would happen to the early church, and that same Jesus has made predictions about the future which have yet to come.

And I believe we're living in the age when we'll see them come to pass.

That means I need to take what Jesus said about the future very seriously. And I don't just mean end times events. I mean that Jesus has demonstrated that he has a command over time itself, that when he shares prophecy, he's not saying this is what I think is going to happen. He's sharing what he knows happens because he's already there. He's in the future. He's in all of time. At the same time, he's there and he is reporting back to us from the future, what will happen, what is certain to happen.

And so when Jesus tells me that I need to be forgiven by putting my faith and my trust in him, he's telling me the truth. When Jesus says that I should spend my life living for him and storing up treasure in heaven rather than treasure here on the earth, he's telling me the truth because he's seen eternity and he knows what benefits me the most.

When Jesus says that he'll never leave me, never forsake me, but he'll be with me to the end of the age, he's telling me the truth because he's already there at the end of the age with me right now. That's why this prophecy stuff matters so much, it proves the Bible is true, that it's real, it's supernatural, and that we can trust what it says about our future.

But more importantly, it proves that we can trust the one who wrote it. And it means we can also trust everything he said about the best way to live in the best way to spend our lives.

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

In other words, not only is that time going to be worse than anything that's ever happened to the Jews before, it's going to be worse than anything that ever will happen to the Jewish people. Jeremiah, 30, Verse 8 seven on your outlines, tells us, alas, for that day is great, so that Nonna's like it and it is the time of Jacob's trouble, Jacob is used. There is a name for Israel ethnically.

The Holocaust killed one out of every three Jews on the Earth. Zechariah, 13 eight through nine, tells us that the back half of the tribulation will kill two out of every three Jews on the earth. These words of Jesus are so important because they completely destroy the argument of anyone who says, well, the Book of Revelation and the Olivet discourse are just talking about things that have already happened.

It's all about the fall of Israel between 70 A.D. in 120 A.D..

That's not what it's about, because Jesus said, 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 the Holocaust was worse than the fall of Jerusalem and 70 A.D. So Jesus cannot be talking about 70 A.D. because Jesus says whatever he's talking about, there will never be anything worse than it that will happen to the Jewish people. I hope you're still with me. And then to underscore his point, Jesus says this in verse 22, he says, And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved.

But for the elects, the word elects there just means chosen ones. But for the elect sake, those days will be shortened.

So Jesus says unless God had set a limit and he has to this amount of time, he's limited to three and a half years.

Everybody would die. There'd be nobody left. Now some will try and say, aha, see that term Jeff V. Elect. Clearly this is talking about believers. And so this must mean the church will be on the earth during the tribulation.

The only problem is that in the Bible, the phrase the elect is used to refer to Jesus, Israel, the church, tribulation, saints and even angels. And here it's used in reference to Jews who survived the tribulation, as well as those who become believers during the tribulation.

Verse 23.

Then if anyone says to you, look, here is the Christ or they're do not believe it for false Christ's and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive if possible, even the elect. Jesus is clearly implying, by the way, that it's not possible to deceive the elect, he's not saying it is possible. He's saying it's not possible.

But he's saying if there was any way that the elect could be deceived, they would be, because that's how convincing this false Christ is going to be and that false Christ is going to be specifically the Antichrist.
/
Verse 8 /25, Jesus says, see, I have told you beforehand. Now those words by Jesus to those are written to those who will read this during the tribulation, to those who are panicking and looking for guidance, to those Jews who who pick up the scriptures in desperation in the time of Jacob's trouble.

Jesus says, See, I told you beforehand, what he's saying is he's saying, stop doubting.

You know, I've told you the truth because I've predicted exactly what you're going through right now. Jesus himself declares here that one of the primary purposes of prophecy in the Bible is to prove that God is who he says he is.

So clearly, Jesus thinks prophecy is pretty important. And he built his word on Bible prophecy because it proves that his word is true

Therefore, if they say to you, look, he's in the desert, do not go out or look, he's in the inner rooms, do not believe it.

While these Jews are hiding after fleeing at the halfway point of the tribulation, there will be many rumors that Messiah has appeared.

Useless trivia

Adrian Schiller, the British actor, has died at the age of 60.

Schiller was best known for his role as Aethelhelm in the hit Netflix series The Last Kingdom and had a television career that spanned more than 30 years.

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

Let's keep reading in Matthew 24 16. Jesus tells the Jews now what to do when they see this trigger event happening during the seventieth week of Daniel. He says, when you see this happening, verse 16, Matthew 24, then let those who are in Judea underline Judea flee to the mountains. Judea is Israel. Notice that this stuff has nothing to do with the church. That's because the church has been raptured before all this stuff goes down.

Verse seventeen. Let him. Who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house? Here's the idea. Israel, when you see Antichrist, go into the temple, set up his throne and demand to be worshipped as God, you need to know that things are about to take a turn so dark it will make the Holocaust seem tame by comparison. When you see this happen, don't grab your things, don't pack. Don't call your friends because there's no time. Just run. Flee Israel.

Get out of there. Verse 8 team and let him who is in the field, not go back to get his clothes, but woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days, because nobody is going to be able to slow down for them and pray that your flight may not be in winter.

Most of us think of Israel as a scorching desert like place, but looked this up online. When you get home today, parts of Israel, especially in the mountains, can become completely impassable due to snow in winter. There's a ski resort in Israel, a real thing.

And then he says also pray that your flight might not be on the Sabbath, which you underline Sabbath.

And I want you to underline that because, again, it shows us this is not an issue that affects the church.

And I don't mean theologically. I mean practically. This does not affect the church. The Sabbath, which is Saturday, doesn't really change anything for us other than we might go out and do something.

In Israel, though, still today, everything shuts down on the Sabbath. The streets are pretty much empty. Society grinds to a halt. That is why Jesus says it's going to be very difficult for you if this happens on a Sabbath.

One more indication, Jesus is talking to Jews in Israel when he gives this warning, he's warning them that when they hit the halfway point of the tribulation, when Antichrist takes over the temple and demands to be worshipped as God, things are going to change dramatically.

The persecution of the Jews is going to become unbearably intense. That's why Jesus says this in verse 21 to get your pen ready for then there will be great tribulation. So when you see this happening, you need to flee. Why? Because there's going to be great tribulation then underlying the rest of us.

21, such as has not been since the beginning of the world. Until this time, no, nor ever shall be.

He says nothing this intense or bad will ever have happened before in history to Israel or will ever happen again.

Now, would you agree that as far as reliable sources go, Jesus is pretty accurate? I think he is.

And I hope you feel the same way. So get this.

Jesus himself is telling Israel that 70 A.D. and TAI EX epiphanies, the diaspora, the Holocaust, it's all nothing compared to what is going to happen to the Jewish people in the second half of the seventieth week of Daniel in the tribulation back hath Jesus is echoing the words of Daniel 12 one which says there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation even to that time. And by doing this, Jesus is telling us that what Daniel spoke about in that verse in Daniel 12 had not yet happened as of 32/ 33 A.D. But Jesus adds to Daniel to this little detail, he says, nor ever shall be.

Is Donald Trump actually an Anti-Christ?

Interesting that you think Russia dominating East Europe as peace making, I guess that is why Finland has increased their border defense against Russia.

Is Donald Trump actually an Anti-Christ?

Trump ends his term as president with half of his campaign promises unachieved

About a quarter of campaign promises were fulfilled, about a quarter he compromised, and about half he did not achieve.
