Has this time arrived?

Luke 21:26-28

Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh...

In these past few days ... is the world facing this?

Matthew 24:21,22

... then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Ask the Author / Re: Are we ‘there’ ... yet?

« on: March 25, 2023, 07:30:21 PM »

Update for 2023-03-25


In a court, as evidence ... we DO use credible witnesses ... to establish an event ... the true history.

The character of the witness is also a ‘witness’ to validate their testimony.

So the character of the disciples of Jesus who recorded his life, death, resurrection on the 3rd day, ascension on the 40th day, the giving of the Holy Spirit on the 50th day (at Pentecost) ... the continued events as foretold ... these all serve as ‘witnesses’ ...

Also, forensic evidence is used ‘to rule in’ ... or to ... ‘rule out’ ... an event.

For example, when the top of a building falls for the bulk of its transit at essentially free fall acceleration due to gravity ... we can assert that any idea of ‘pancaking’ from upper stories causing that collapse on its footprint ... that is nonsense!!!

Similarly, any idea about houses building themselves ... or any idea about any complex functioning system of self replicating systems ... every undergoing ‘self assembly’ ... this can be quickly ruled out as nonsense ... **since** undirected energy (explosions/mutations) in ... ‘these undirected energy events’ ... they **always** degrade!!!

This ‘always degrade’ of code or function can be easily seen in any even very simple already functioning computer program ... any slight **random change** ... the code will crash at that point.

However, if you have some backup copy of the original code to restore the original ... and/or you designed in some very complex checking for errors and built in redundancy... it may continue to function until the accumulation of errors exceeds the design limits ... and ‘life’ stops then.

And this **IS** what we are facing now ... soon extinction because of all the accumulations of errors in code (DNA, etc...) in our original so complex coding with its ‘back up copy/restore’ and ‘much redundancy’ built into the original.

This **reality** of soon extinction seems to be the cause of our mad technocrats now attempting to change to silicon chip integrated/based ... ‘life forms’ !!!


However ...

the character of the disciples of Jesus who recorded His life, death, resurrection on the 3rd day, Ascension on the 40th day, the giving of the Holy Spirit on the 50th day (at Pentecost) ... the continued events as foretold ... these all serve as ‘witnesses’ ...

And since Jesus showed his power of resurrection ... the foundation was solidified for the promise repeated often in the Bible ... all will be raised ... some to honour ... others to shame ...

See Daniel 12 about what was told him to record for us here ... at ‘these days‘ ... the generation to experience what was foretold about 2.5 k years ago ...


1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.


And ... thus the 2nd huge sign ... ‘Are we there yet?’

Certain extinction of all flesh ... unless this madness is interdicted by God ...  yes ... the coverup is not working ... more are seeing now the ‘deaths’ rising up following these global ‘experimental injections’ ... and other vectors of exposure: food, water, air, tests, etc... an ongoing, demon inspired, technocratic madness!!!

But even an unbiased child can see that ‘every house had a builder’ ...

Can you now see ... the absolute impossibility of explosions creating complex working systems ... is totally in the minds of these so zealous technocrats trying to design and build silicon based life?


Footnotes:

1 Peter 1:23,24,25

(We must be) ... born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Matthew 24:21,22

... then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
