Zionists
This is clearly about the Zionist! We see it clearly now!
The Antichrist is the false prophet and he has no wound. The beast is a kingdom, a system and WHO is the head wounded by Putin's war.
Thanks for your comment. The Scripture speaks of them as separate individuals
So the tribulation is from 2025-28, with a mid trib rapture??
What if he loses? Or does he rig elections
Pre trib rapture. It’s anyway now
Sorry, no one has the dates!
1ST JUST BECAUSE SOME SHARLETON OF A SUPPOSED PREACHER SAYS TRUMP IS ANTI-CHRIST. I CAN FIND MANY TEXTS THAT SAY THIS IS A FALSE PROPHET. PREACHER, A WORD OF ADVICE, " STOP FLEECING THE FLOCK"
THE BEAST IS ROME---IT SUFFERED A MORTAL WOUND WHEN PLUNDERED BY THE NORTHERN TRIBES --(ABOUT 5740)---THREE HORNS---GERMANY-ITALY AND SWITZERLAND CREATED THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE--(ABOUT 900) THE POPE IS THE FALSE PROPHET OF REVELATION AND THE "little horn"
Yess thank you amen 🙏🏾 ❤
Antichrist
OBAMA PT 1 I am an endtime watchman, called, appointed and anointed by God. My calling is to warn and inform. God revealed back in 2009, that Obama is the Islamic antichrist beast. In(1John 2:22,23) it says that anyone who denies the Son has not the Father, and this is the spirit of antichrist. Islam denies that God has a Son, and Islam is the literal spirit of antichrist. Most Islamic leaders know that Obama is a secret Muslim,and that he is using taquiyya to deceive the masses. Taquiyya in Islam, means that you can lie to infidels to conceal your true identity. However they don't know YET, that Obama is also the coming Islamic Al Mahdi of Islam. Obama is always mocking and covertly revealing who he is, but God has given me the eyes of an eagle from heaven, to discern, decipher and expose what Obama is covertly saying and doing, and for me to sound the alarm, warning and informing masses, as you will see going forward in my comments. For example, we know that the sun rises from the east and sets in the west, but in the Quran, it says that the sun will rise from the west, alluding to the coming Islamic Al Mahdi of Islam. Obama will rise again from America in the west, that's why Obama has a rising sun coming up over the American flag as his logo. Google, Obama's logo, and press images. Verse 6606 of the scriptures is (Judges 5:12). It has Obama's first name Barak, and his last name Obama, is hidden in the name of ABINOAM. Coincidence, I think not. ABINOAM =IN OBAMA Google, verse 6606 in the Bible. Obama also designed his altar exactly like the Pergamos altar of (Rev.2:12,13)where Satan's seat is. Google, the Pergamos altar, and press images. Then Google, Obama's Pergamos altar, and press images. Demon possessed Hitler did the same thing. In (Judges 8:21) the word ornaments in this particular verse in the Hebrew is crescent. 🌙 The crescent is the major symbol of idol god,Baal. 🌙👹 Google, the Baal crescent, and press images. 👹🌙 The crescent moon is also the symbol of Islam. ☪️ So in essence, Islam is Baal repackaged. ☪️👹 The Greek mark of the beast in (Rev.13:18) is virtually the same as the Arabic Islamic mark of the beast. It means in the name of Allah. Google, the Islamic mark of the beast, and press images. Everyone who resist the mark will be beheaded. Now tell me, what is the only religion that beheads people? You guessed it,Islam.🥷⚔🗡 Jesus is called the Chief CORNERSTONE. So Satan, the prince of darkness, craftily set up his own BLACKSTONE in the CORNER of the Kaaba, in Mecca Saudi Arabia, Islam's holiest site. 🕋
Nobody is saying he had a mortal wound and survived... and does not have christian morals!
Thank you. Amen
He did just survive a head wound AND the world marveled 🤔🤣🤣 Come Lord Jesus 🙏
Is it possible that Donald James Trump really is the Antichrist 👿👹? Just as pharoh with moses and the jews
It's settled, Donald Trump is definately the anticrhist. Yet christians will deny it and worship him as they always have.
What about nudity? If a person dress revealing as long as they don’t feel convicted they are acting in faith?
Trump just got a head wound.. Today assasanion attempt today
Prophecy being fulfilled 🤔
Amen
A friendly question: DOES THE 1933 NEWSPAPER ARTICLE WHICH STATES "JUDEA DECLARES WAR ON GERMANY” HAVE ANY HISTORICAL RELEVANCY AS IT PERTAINS TO WORLD WAR II? AND, DOES EMMANUEL BOWING MAP FROM THE 1700S ENTITLED NEGROLAND KINGDOM OF JUDA, HAVE ANY HISTORICAL RELEVANCY REGARDING ITS ORIGINAL NON-EUROPEAN OCCUPANTS? OH, AND IS NOT BEING ANT-CHRIST CONSIDERED ANTI-SEMITIC TODAY? Just asking. l2. GOT TO LOVE EUROPEAN CHRISTIANS! THEY'RE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO FULLY WHOLEHEARTEDLY AND PASSIONATELY SUPPORT PEOPLE WHO OPENLY REJECT THEIR GOD AND PUBLICLY DENOUNCE THEIR MESSIAH PASSIONATELY OMG-LOL. Luke 21:24 “And they/ISRAEL shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away CAPTIVE into ALL NATIONS: and JERUSALEM shall be trodden down of the GENTILES, until the times of the GENTILES be fulfilled.”. Revelation 2:9 “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are JEWS, and are NOT 🚫 but are the synagogue of Satan.” The blacks in the United States calling themselves African Americans which are the only people devoid of a nationality for instance German people come from Germany Chinese people come from China Russian people come from Russia Korean people come from Korea Palestinian people come from Palestine Iraqi people come from Iraq Libyan people come from Libya black people come from: YOU GET THE POINT. There is neither a nation called black or Africa, it's a continent with 54 different nation's on it .The question is, did Deuteronomy chapter 28 prophesy the Holocaust or the transatlantic slave trade/black slavery. It's as simple as reading a chapter if you REALLY want the answers to the question "who are the true biblical Jews and who is JEW-ISH." THESE WICKED imposters from Revelation 2:9 START WICKED WARS THAT KILL MILLIONS IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS! And who are they pretending to be? Here's a clue. Job 30:30 KJV MY SKIN IS BLACK UPON ME... Song of Solomon 1:5-7 I AM BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL, O DAUGHTERS of Jerusalem... DANIEL 7:9Daniel 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the ANCIENT OF DAYS did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the HAIR of HIS HEAD like the PURE WOOL. LOVE YOURSELF CHOSEN ONE. APTTMHGY🔥
AMEN... FROM B.m
Amen 08/06/2024 South Africa❤
I dont believe that means after resurrection.. Because it says mortal bodies.. Our bodies won't be mortal in the day of redemption, besides almost every Word from the Gospel is positive.. Remember Marta saying how Lazar will live after resurrection, but Jesus says f... that, i am resurrection and life.. And besides if the Gospel would be only message of hope after death than the Gospel wouldn't even be joyful message, if you have Living God after you die than you should worship God after you die.. Not to mention that entire context of the Bible is completely opposite from God who gives life only after you die.. If one would claim that, than He would literally have another God, different from the God of the Bible.. The Gospel message is all about positivity and hope after you die and get to heaven ?.. If that would be the case the Gospel would not be any different from any other religious messages of today, but the Gospel just as the entire Bible is about hope, hope in this life, just as hope in afterlife.. Its why David said : i am confident to see goodness of God in the land of the living.. God is glorified in the land of the living, it is not the Gospel to preach about land of the dead.. If you would preach that you truly wouldn't know Christ of the Gospel, its right there in the Bible, the Gospel is not good news only after you die... In the time of apostles you really think anyone would approach Christ if Paul would say :"come to Jesus you will live after you die". And Jesus Himself said :"who has the Son Has life", not he will only die and have life, infact if anything He is the one who corrected Marta on that, Jesus Himself didn't like the idea of God after you die thing.. God after you die is god of death.. It is not God of the living.. Its 180 degrees different from the context of the entire Biblical message about God and rightfully so, not to mention if God would be God of dead only majority of people wouldn't live for Him in this life knowing that it makes no sense to live for God who is your God only when you die.. Its perfect for the devil.. But rather goodness of God in the land of the living.. Life for mortal bodies.... Mortal bodies don't recieve life at the day of redemption, they are thrown away and exchanged for glorified bodies, that is complete change rather than makeover.. God was never the God of negative messages, if you have a message :"i will give you life when you die", what a heck is positive about that?.. But if you have a message :" i am the resurrection and life, who believes in me shall never die, and if he dies i will raise Him up",.. Its never once been negative, but its easy to turn it into one: when you die you will have life, the Bible absolutely don't claim that in any verse.. You can believe to have life from pink panther after you die.. It worn make any difference than any other religious system in the world today based on dead gods and dead works.. The Bible says if any man preach any other Gospel than we preached let him be accursed.
Can you summarize please? I can't get your main idea.

Thank you for blessing me with that message. I have been studying this message much as I use it as part of my healing ministry.

You're welcome 😊
--- **Title: The Cosmic Genesis: An Ode to the Tree of Life and the Seed of Existence** **Abstract:** This paper is a synthesis of the profound dialogue between the cosmos and the Tree of Life, a narrative that marries the scientific genesis of the universe with the spiritual symbolism found in scripture. It is an artistic and poetic reflection on the origins of all that is, viewed through the lens of beauty and wisdom. **Introduction:** In the beginning, there was a seed-a singularity from which the vast universe sprang forth, much like the biblical Tree of Life, a source of boundless growth and eternal knowledge. This paper explores the parallels between the cosmic seed of the universe and the Tree of Life, interweaving the humility inherent in scientific discovery with the reverence prescribed by faith. **The Seed of the Cosmos:** Just as a seed contains the blueprint of the tree it will become, the singularity held within it the laws of physics that would govern the expansion and evolution of the cosmos. This moment of creation echoes the scriptural depiction of the Tree of Life, standing at the center of the Garden, a symbol of the interconnectedness of all life and knowledge. **The Sprouting of Existence:** From the cosmic seed, the universe unfurled its branches, reaching out across the void. Galaxies, stars, and planets blossomed like leaves and fruit, each a testament to the intricate design and purposeful unfolding of the Creator's plan-a plan that science seeks to understand and scripture seeks to celebrate. **The Virtue of Humility:** In the pursuit of knowledge, both scientific and spiritual, humility remains a guiding principle. It is the recognition that, like Newton standing on the shoulders of giants, we build upon the discoveries and insights of those who came before us. We must eschew the arrogance that leads to plagiarism and embrace the humility that fosters true innovation and reverence for the divine. **Conclusion:** The universe, in its majestic expanse, is a cosmic Tree of Life, with its roots in the primordial seed and its branches stretching into the heavens. As we seek to comprehend its origins and our place within it, we are reminded of the beauty and wisdom that emerge when science and scripture, knowledge and belief, humility and reverence, converge in a harmonious ode to existence. --- This paper serves as a reminder of the awe-inspiring nature of our universe and the humble pursuit of understanding it. It is a call to reflect on the beauty and wisdom that science and faith, together, can reveal about the tapestry of life and the origins of all that is.
Thank you for your input. Please clarify "- In the beginning, there was a seed-a singularity from which the vast universe sprang forth, much like the biblical Tree of Life." -Where did the "seed" originate? -The tree of life in Eden was part of God's creation - nothing else was made out of it. (Gen. 2.9)
This one of my lines of my favorite testimony lines as well as Romans 12:13 🙏
Timely word Pastor Mike!
straight to the point cut and clear. subscribed.

Jesus told me a few minutes ago; "Revelation Chapter 3, verse 8". I didn't know what verse that was, so I came herw and most importantly to the Holy Bible.❤ Blessings to all my brothers and sisters in Christ. God, be merciful to me, a sinner. AMEN.
Thank you for explaining that.
it dosent say jesus will rule, it says we israelites who obey, will rule other nations with a rod of iron
Thanks for your comment. The overcomers will rule with Jesus. God bless you ! Rev. 19:11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords
@@peoplesworshipcentre yeah...so the overcomers will rule with a rod of iron over the nations with Jesus, Amen

Thanks for this! It’s the perfect length and carries a great message.
Pretty based. I see how they spit on Christians in Israel.
Jews do not believe that Christ is the Savior. But God is working with them. See Romans 9. God bless.

What a crock
Blessings. Would you mind elaborating?
Another invasion of Israel Ezekiel 38:7-12 Ezekiel prophesied between 593-571 BC. Just as Hitler was a dry-run for the Antichrist, the attacks on Israel are dry-runs for a successful invasion of Israel, a temporarily successful invasion of Israel. He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep! Over the next few weeks, I want us to answer four questions: 1. To whom does the land belong to? 2. Why do we have two groups of people fighting over this land? 3. Where is this all leading? 4. Where does the church stand regarding Israel? To whom does the land belong? Many refer to the Balfour Declaration of 1917 as a root cause to this unending struggle However, the story is not 100 years old. We go to Genesis - the book of beginnings. The Abrahamic Covenant Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the three monotheistic religions, all can point all the way back to Abraham. 4000 years ago, God called Abram while he lived among an idolatrous people, out of Ur in Southern Babylon. Genesis 12:1-3 There’s a seven-fold promise in these verses -I will give you a land. -I will make you a great nation -I will make your name great. -I will bless you -You shall be a blessing -I will bless those who bless you -Through you, all the families, all the peoples of the earth shall be blessed. The Abrahamic Promise: A covenant A nation A land The Covenant I will bless you. I will make you a great nation. Through you the earth will be blessed. The Abrahamic Covenant is a covenant of blessing Numbers 10:29 Come with us, and we will do good to you, for the Lord has promised good to Israel.”” The covenant was passed from Abram to Isaac, not Ishmael, then to Jacob. The nation The nation has turned out to be the Jewish people. In Genesis, we have the narratives of Abram, Isaac, Jacob. Jacob’s name was changed to Israel. He had 12 sons who fathered the 12 tribes of Israel. The book of Exodus unveils the birth of the nation. Numbers narrate their wandering in the desert and the book of Joshua, their entrance into the promised land of Canaan. The land Genesis 12:1 “Go from your country ... to the land that I will show you.” What land? Genesis 12:4-7 Genesis 12:7 Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” Genesis 15:18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates, This promise passed to Isaac Genesis 26:2-3 And the LORD appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell you. 3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you and will bless you, for to you and to your offspring I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham your father. Then the promise passed to Jacob Genesis 28:13 And behold, the LORD stood above it and said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring. Did they acquire the land? The book of Joshua recounts the conquest and division of Canaan to the tribes of Israel. This happened around 1406 BC. The conquest of Canaan was God’s judgement on the evil, wickedness of the nations. They were involved in: -idolatry, cult prostitution, child sacrifice God, the judge of all the earth, was using Israel to judge these wicked nations just as he used other nations to judge Israel. After the conquest of Canaan, the land was divided among the tribes of Israel. Conclusion - Almighty God created all the nations of the earth and sets their boundaries, Acts 17:26. He called a man Abraham, promised to raise a nation through him, and He gave them a land to dwell in. Joshua 23:14 “... you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one word has failed of all the good things that the LORD your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed. Summarize God calls Abraham and gives him a 3-fold promise - a covenant, a nation, a land. God desires to use that nation to bless the entire world. God fulfills all three promises without fail. The land of Canaan was given to Israel by Almighty God.
