I was told that this life will become like a dream. Dreams fade a bit. The joy in heaven we will experience will override everything else.
I have read about those who had a near death experience. Some claim they went to hell. That the souls there were miserable and trying to reach up and pull them down. They were terrified. These souls were beyond repentance
Thanks for taking the time to read and share your thoughts. They are greatly appreciated. In my year of mi is try, I’ve also had some friends that I worked with who had near death experiences. A few had experience with the “torments” region and it was pretty terrifying. I am thankful to the Lord Who redeems us by His death, burial, and resurrection on the third day so that when we turn to Him in faith repentance and baptism we can saved from that realm (Acts 2:37-47). Again thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!
What is “wisdom” and “understanding?” The answer is in Job.
Job 28:28
“And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.”
Wisdom = “the fear of the Lord”
Understanding = “to depart from evil”
So, Revelation 13:18 could be better understood as read:
“Here is “the fear of the Lord”. Let him that “depart(s) from evil” count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
1 Kings 11:6
“And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.”
1) Wisdom = “the fear of the Lord”(Job28:28) = “went not fully after the LORD”(1Kings11:6)
2) Understanding = “to depart from evil”(Job 28:28) = “did evil in the sight of the LORD”(1Kings11:6)
Here we see the two departures of Solomon, losing “Wisdom” and “Understanding.” He did “evil in the sight of the LORD” and “went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.”
Not to mention…..
1 Kings 10:20
“And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.”
“Twelve lions” = Six on each side of six steps. Here we have (6) steps in the center leading up to the throne, with (6) lions on the left going up to the throne, and another (6) lions on the right, leading up to the throne. This also pictures the 6-6-6, albeit in the Temple.
Great insights!! Thanks for sharing, I’m gonna take some time and consider more carefully. God bless!!
Amazing article & appreciate all the references you included.. As a Christian in recovery myself I know all too well the “battle” it takes to not only break free from chemical addiction that’s being actively discouraged in U.S. by keeping addicts on “Methadone Maintenance Therapy” (aka liquid handcuffs) indefinitely, but then have to deal with rectifying the root problems which led to self-medicating & drug abuse in the 1st place. Also not sure how true this is but I recently read that Mexican cartels do Satanic rituals to “curse” the drugs they import to U.S. which only makes things like fentanyl (which obviously doesn’t need extra help) that much more deadly. Whose to say that type of thing isn’t being done to ALL drugs/meds then from other countries or even here in U.S.? God help us all!
Thank you for reading and sharing your insights! Also thanks for your openness about your recovery. That is wonderful! In my ministry, I have seen a lot of addicts helped with Suboxone when it is used right. Also, I can’t remember if I mentioned this in the article or not….but I have worked with people in Kentucky who had been involved with binding spirits to illicit drugs in order to curse people who abused them. One good friend I am blessed to call a friend and sister was forced to participate in these ceremonies by someone she knew. I
have been blessed to have other friends and brethren who witnessed similar things happen.
Thanks again for writing and sharing, and may the Lord continue to bless you!
Awesome read about how the holy spirit works. And that other life we are born into…not another physical birth but a spiritual. Hope all is well with you bro. Love ya. Keep it coming. Stay safe. God bless
Thanks so much brother!! We are hanging in there. 🙂 Love you too and hope things are going well!!
Very interesting
Thank you!!!
Remarkable, awesome, and really cool!
We also fall away when we create doctrines of law or make doctrines of a woman like ellen g white (speaking of false prophets) Subjecting others under the old covenant and its rituals.
What a polemic against the rulers of darkness in this world! That Pharoah would worship a god of warriors, chariots, and pestilence or plague, and that our God (The LORD is a man of war) would turn it on its head. Jesus is the god killer! A’men.
Amen brother!! He still defeats them even today!!!
Trump does not claim to be Christ or the Messiah. Jan 6th was not as you are making it out to be. I am a follower of Christ and Trump is not the Anti-Christ. The Anti-Christ will be loved by all. Trump is certainly not.
ten characteristics associated with the Anti-Christ:
1. Intelligent: The Anti-Christ is depicted as having cunning and intelligence.
2. Charismatic Speaker: He possesses the ability to sway people with his eloquence.
3. Crafty Politician: The Anti-Christ is politically astute and manipulative.
4. Distinct Physical Appearance: The Bible suggests that he may have a unique or recognizable appearance.
5. Military Genius: He is associated with military prowess and strategic thinking.
6. Economic Genius: The Anti-Christ is believed to have economic influence and control.
7. Denies Jesus as the Christ: The Anti-Christ opposes the divinity of Jesus and denies His role as the Messiah.
8. Denies Jesus’ Virgin Birth: He rejects the miraculous birth of Jesus.
9. Denies Jesus’ Resurrection: The Anti-Christ denies the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
10. Denies Jesus’ Sinless Life and Second Coming: He opposes the idea that Jesus lived a sinless life and will return to judge the world.
Reasons Trump I’d not the Anti-Christ
1. Lack of Denial: While the Anti-Christ is expected to deny Jesus as the Christ, Trump has publicly acknowledged his Christian faith and expressed belief in Jesus .
2. No Military Prowess: The Bible attributes military genius to the Anti-Christ, but Trump’s background is in business and politics, not warfare .
3. Economic Focus: Although Trump is a successful businessman, he does not exhibit the level of global economic influence often associated with the Anti-Christ.
4. No Distinct Physical Appearance: The Bible hints at a unique appearance for the Anti-Christ, but Trump’s appearance is not extraordinary in that sense .
5. No Charismatic Deception: While Trump is a charismatic speaker, he does not fit the mold of a deceptive figure who leads people astray from God .
6. No Blasphemy Against God: The Anti-Christ is often depicted as blaspheming God and exalting himself above all that is divine. Trump has not publicly engaged in such behavior.
7. Lack of Miraculous Signs and Wonders: The Bible suggests that the Anti-Christ will perform false miracles and deceive people. Trump has not demonstrated supernatural abilities.
8. No Global Worship: The Anti-Christ is expected to receive worldwide worship. While Trump has a following, it does not compare to global worship.
9. No Mark of the Beast: The Anti-Christ is associated with a mark (666) that signifies allegiance to him. Trump has not implemented any such mark.
10. No Reign of Terror: The Anti-Christ is prophesied to bring immense suffering and persecution. Trump’s presidency did not align with this apocalyptic vision.
Thanks for your interesting comments!
1. Whether Trump is “the antichrist” (1 John 2:18) or not, he is definitely antichrist. Why?
1. He thanked a man and retweeted his post that Trump is as loved as the Second Coming and should be welcomed as the rightful King (capital K) of Israel.
That’s antichrist my friend.
2. Trump has been playing a video at his rallies which take Bible prophecies fulfilled in Jesus and by Jesus, and says they are about him (Trump)!
That is antichrist my friend.
We could also carefully examine the Trump superhero trading cards that he is floating, for further study and a good laugh.
As for January 6, the events of the day and Trump’s comments after that horrific day are clear enough.
Thanks for reading and for your response, God bless!
We’ll have to agree to disagree, Jan 6th was far from horrific. Why do you think it was?
Well….
People attacked and stormed the United States capital building…
Over one thousand logged attacks on some 148 police officers….
Christianity was run through the gutters by alleged followers of Christ….
Our President gathered the mob, unleashed the mob, refused to call off the mob…then declared that it was Antifa….then his loyal followers that he now calls “hostages” and treats as “heroes”….
I call all that pretty awful brother. Continuing to pray for all involved.
You are totally brainwashed. Do me a favor and watch this video. That is if you want to know the truth.

Thank you, Mark for speaking the truth. As a Christian it’s devastating to see so many turned away from Christ because of the defense & allegiance of many Christians to such an evil man, a man who was found liable for sexual assault & defamation, a man who we all heard brag about sexually assaulting women on the Access Hollywood tapes, a man who cheated on all 3 wives & paid off porn stars, a man who uses the f word at rallies & who curses God’s name there too, a man who lives in the sins God hates according to Proverbs 6:16-19, & a man who blasphemes as you pointed out. And now on social media I see so many of his followers saying if he does not win the election they are going to wage civil war. It’s truly alarming.
As Christians we are to love & speak truth. We are told if we have pleasure in unrighteousness that God will send strong delusion (2 Thes.2:9-11). Sadly many seem y to I have pleasure in Trump’s foul language which is directed at those they consider to be their enemies. We need to remember that Jesus told us to love & pray for our enemies & to submit to our government, even when it is not who we would choose. We still are to submit to their authority.
The hypocrisy of so many who defend one evil leader and praise another is not unseen by the world & sadly so many have been turned away as a result.
Thank you my friend and God bless you for your courage in speaking out. ❤️🙏❤️🙏
This is an absurd and racist article. As an Armenian whose family suffered a genocide I would “have a reason” to turn to this sort of pompous hate spreading. But I do not. Maybe you should heed your own hubris and arrogance and gain some humanity
Galatians 4:16-Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?
I always thought Psalm 91 had some thoughts against the powers of darkness and I am glad for this scholarly research.
Thank you for your kind words!
I suggest you post the context of the last few Quranic verses you posted near the end as they were revealed during times of war. You seem to be biased in how you represent information. Islam DOES NOT promote the killing of innocents regardless of their faith. Please do better.
Wait.
So this is about your defending Islam? I would be more than happy to discuss that also. Maybe we could talk about these verses?
* Sura 2:19-“Slay the unbeliever wherever you find them.”
* Sura 3:28-Muslims must not take the infidels as friends.”
* Sura 3:85-“Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable.”
* Sura 5:33-Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam.”
* Sura 8:12-Terrorize and behead those who believe in Scriptures other than the Koran.
* Sura 8:60-Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels.
* Sura 8:65-The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them.
* Sura 9:5-When opportunity arises kill the infidels wherever you find them.
* Sura 9:30-The Jews and Christians are perverts, fight them.
* Sura 9:123-Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood.
* Sura 22:19-Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water, and melt their skin and bellies.
* Sura 24:4-Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them.
The maybe you would be interested in studying about Kithman and Taqiya?
Or maybe we could talk about Mohammad believing that he was demon possessed?
Or perhaps about Mohammad and his favorite “wife” I believe her name was Aisha? How old was she again?
Yes I would be very happy to discuss these matters.
Nice one! Glory to God!
