It's Time to Wake Up From the Land of Nebaknezzar!
 
So my life is flashing before my eyes as I sleep only I'm not ding. I see visions I hear noise and I get confused. The Land of Nebaknezzar is a land of Hate and Obomination. So Now what?? I learned my lesson about tempting fate. I learned my lesson about rebelling. I learned my lesson about poor mouthing. I learned my lesson about Trust.

Now I would like to learn a lesson about Love, Faith and Spiritual Prosperity. I will tame my tongue, and recover my mind before your very eyes and I will study a discipline that is so righteous that you might call it a cult.

Dose anyone Dare embark on this journey with me???

But I can teach you to laugh at yourself......

This. The ones I've learned best were the ones I resisted most.

That would blow Father Dougal's mind.

I am here waiting for you, JBK. You can't embark on this journey, you're already here ... and there. You are Satan ... and God. You ARE. BE. Just BE the ball, BE the ball, BE the ball. You're not BEing the ball JBK.

Follow the Buddha. Become Love, Faith, and Sprituality.

Last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it.

JBKlyde 11-16-2011 11:08 AM

not exactly the reaction I was expecting..

henry quirk 11-17-2011 08:55 AM

"not exactly the reaction I was expecting"
 
It's unfortunate, but true: others rarely give you what you 'want'.

Often, however, others give you exactly what you 'need'.

classicman 11-17-2011 11:11 AM

... or deserve?

DanaC 11-17-2011 11:18 AM

....Quick, someone get me a calendar and a marker pen...I agree with Henry...


:p:

henry quirk 11-17-2011 11:38 AM

"... or deserve?"

Yep...sometimes: what a body needs is exactly what he or she deserves.

"...I agree with Henry..."

HA!

Bound to happen from time to time...after all: 'you' can't ALWAYS be wrong... ;)

Left Behind: What Comes Next - By Nathan Jones – www.lamblion.com

Because the Rapture may be more imminent than ever, and since so many of our loved ones will be left behind to wonder what has happened to us pondering what dark future awaits them in the aftermath, I will be running all this Feast of Trumpets week a message of hope. This message explains why millions suddenly and mysteriously disappeared and will give them answers to what has happened. It is our "left behind" message, and my prayers should we be departing really soon that it brings people to Jesus Christ.

This second segment of our "left behind" message will explain what's coming next for those who weren't raptured. It's also available in video below.


What Comes Next

So, what comes next? For starters, people are going to try to explain away the Rapture with all sorts of wild theories, like possibly Global Warming or UFOs. So-called "Christian" leaders are going to come out and say the Church is still around because they didn't disappear.

Jesus said in Matthew 24:24 that they cannot be believed, for the times will be filled with false religious teachers. The greatest of these false teachers the Bible calls the False Prophet, and he will seemingly be able to do many miracles and will promote a one-world religion and leader (Revelation 13:11).

Amid all the chaos from the Rapture, the Bible teaches that the world will turn to a dynamic leader to bring order and peace (Revelation 6:1-2). He will succeed where no other person has been able in establishing a peace treaty for Israel (Daniel 9:27). That treaty marks the official beginning of the 7 years that the Tribulation will last.

But, the world leader, known to believers in Jesus as the Antichrist, is anything but peaceful. He will plunge the planet into nuclear world war, resulting in terrible famines, pestilence and mass death. Violence, disease and starvation will be a way of life. A quarter of the world population — almost 2 billion people — will die from this war (Revelation 6).

In Jerusalem, 2 men will appear and preach there for 3 1/2 years that Jesus is the Messiah the Jews have been looking for (Revelation 11:3). 144,000 Jews will call Jesus their Messiah and also preach about Him throughout the whole world. Millions will accept Jesus as their Savior — hopefully you will be one of them. But, many of those millions of believers will be killed by the Antichrist for not pledging their loyalty to him by receiving his mark on either their right hand or forehead. The persecution of believers in Jesus will be awful in the Tribulation (Daniel 7:22; Revelation 7).

Next, the greatest earthquake the world has yet experienced will devastate the planet (Revelation 6:12-14). Something falling from space will then burn up a third of all the world's vegetation. A second item from space, probably a meteor, will crash into the ocean and annihilate a third of the world's marine life and ships. A third object from space will taint the world's water supply, poisoning millions (Revelation 8:7-11).

The devastation to the atmosphere will block out most of the sun and moonlight so that the days appear shorter (Revelation 8:12).

Next, some supernatural "woes" will befall mankind. First, the holding place for a demonic hoard is opened and millions of locust-looking demons pour out and sting people like scorpions. The pain will last 5 whole months. Second, 200 million riders on horse-creatures will burn and impale, wiping out a remaining third of the people (Revelation 9:1-19).

Three and a half years into the Tribulation will see the 2 men witnessing in Jerusalem killed, but 3 1/2 days later come back to life (Revelation 11:7-12). It will also see the Antichrist supposedly killed and appear to come back to life as well (Revelation 13:3).

And that's just the first half of the Tribulation. As bad as the first half of the seven years is, the next half is even worse (Revelation 16).

Those who take the Antichrist's loyalty mark on their hand or forehead will suffer from painful boils. Those who don't take the mark will be cut off from commerce and hunted down, but the Bible assures (Revelation 20:4-6) that those who take the mark have made a decision that will last forever — eternal damnation — so don't take it!

The oceans and everything in them are totally destroyed, as well as all the fresh water. The heat from the sun will become scorching. The Antichrist's kingdom will fall into pitch darkness.

An even greater earthquake than the one 7 years earlier will flatten the earth and 100 pound hailstones will crush the inhabitants.

The Euphrates River in Iraq will dry up and a massive army from the East will cross and enter the Valley of Armageddon in Israel to fight the Antichrist's army. This is what the Book of Revelation calls the battle of Armageddon.

It is the moment that Jesus will gloriously return with all those who disappeared in the Rapture. Jesus Himself by just speaking will destroy the armies at Armageddon. Jesus will throw the Antichrist and the False Prophet into Hell, and Satan into a deep pit. Jesus will be victorious and all who continued to rebel will be put to death — all of them (Revelation 19:11-21; 20:1-3). This is the Tribulation — the wrath of God.

And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. -- Jesus, John 12:47

Just pointing out a little hypocrisy there, Jesus.

that's an out of context miss quotation,,

Undertoad 11-17-2011 02:11 PM

Which one, the one attributed to John, or the one written by an entirely different John 50 years after Jesus's death?

Just want to point out that, assuming you believe 1.) the Rapture is certain to happen, and 2.) it hasn't happened yet...

...then the statement that it is "more imminent than ever" is kind of a given. Forward progression of time and all that.

Left Behind: What comes next... for Kirk Cameron?

henry quirk 11-17-2011 04:19 PM

Not being facetious at all...
 
...I look forward to being "Left Behind".

As an (at best) irreligious/(at worst) atheistic man: I look forward to giving the Anti-Christ the Finger (I might even moon him or her, if given the chance).

And: after I pluck out all the buckshot from his carcass, I’m gonna cannibalistically eat Kirk Cameron...his ass ain't rapturing!

'Shit on a shingle' will have a whole new meaning... ;)

OMFG. JB, I need your address so I can bill you for the new keyboard I have to buy since I spit Fresca all over this one laughing at that.

ZenGum 11-17-2011 09:27 PM

Being serious for a moment, I'd like to offer some advice.

JB, do not take Revelations too seriously.

Do not make life decisions based on the idea that the events described in revelations will happen soon. That is a classic symptom of mental illness in a downward spiral.

Don't spend too much time thinking (or reading) about ancient predictions of any kind. If you want to read the bible, concentrate on the gospels and the words and deeds of Jesus.

Keep your mind mostly in the present. Associate with modern people to keep your mind adjusted toward the "normal" state. Visit your local shopping mall and just watch "normal" people for a few hours. Visit the library, see the people there. Borrow a few books - nothing on religion or ancient history or prophecy or that. Not even psychology. Something on exploration, some biographies, or raising injured wild animals, something human.

Your mind is unstable enough without all those extreme ideas from revelations being fed into it. I'm encouraging you to feed normal, modern, human ideas into your brain. Best of luck.
