IN the day of Great slaughter, when the towers fall

As far as what is happening in the world right now, I keep thinking of Matthew 24:38 as a sign that perhaps Jesus will return "soon". Jesus talks about what society was like right before the flood of Noah, and He mentions "marrying and giving in marriage", and in this society, the furthering acceptance of gay marriage comes to my mind. Thoughts?

LoL Dennis! Now that is funny  ;D. I'll leave that for someone that claims they are called to be a prophet. I make no such claims. I only know that Sons have the invitation to ask God concerning His sons.

Its an interesting thought.

I just wonder though, we know during the greek and roman era's, homosexuality was a very open and everday part of life. So I wonder... I mean, its a first for American History, thats for sure. I guess time will tell.

The Damascus prophecy is also interesting, one I'm familiar with. I've started my studies on this matter with the Mind of Christ in it. A perspective I did not have before so by the Grace of God, these things shall become more clear to me with time. Whatever that may be.

God bless,

Mat 24:38  For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,
v. 39  and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

This is interesting what Jesus said the time just prior to His return to earth would be like, just like what it was like before Noah's  floor,  what is He saying that will be like there? It seems to me that He is saying that everything was business as usual for all the people, they were going about everyday life and then suddenly, when they were not expecting anything (regardless that Noah had been warning them for 100 yrs) the flood came and sweep them all away.

I think it is wrong that people think there will be 'signs' that will show this age in near the end, at least that is what I see that Jesus was saying. The church has spoke of great tribulation and world turmoil... was that what happened before the flood? The world was terribly wicked before the floor and it has been ever since then up to this day and until Christ return. Just read a little history and you will see ample evidence of how this world has remained evil throughout all the centuries.  His return will catch everybody by surprise, it will come out of the blue, so to speak.

1Th 5:1  But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.
v. 2  For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
v. 3  For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.

Now the elect may have an indication, but I do not believe that it will be from worldly signs of some kind. The elect should be always in a state of hoping for His return and God will make sure they are ready when He does return.

1Th 5:4  You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
v. 6  Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.
v. 7  For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
v. 8  But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.
v. 9  For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

mercy, peace and love

This is my first post. I'll do an introduction soon. Since my teen's I have feared a "Great Tribulation". Now at about 60 years old it is an even greater concern. Death does not really bother me but God has lead me thru what has been a not so easy life. It has been my thought God would not spare me from end time troubles. Reading Bible Truths I have not been clear as to Ray's thoughts. Kat's remarks has given me pause to think maybe things are not going to be as I had feared. I come out of the WWCG which could put the fear of God in you. It would be good to hear from other as to their understanding.

I am thankful for God leading me to this site and feel a connection to many on this site. There will be more questions on a number of subjects and look forward to everyone's help.

Doug
