End Time Prophecies
ZekeSr:
Mat 24:10 And then many will be offended, and will betray one another, and will hate one another.
Offended...... I think this is becoming prevalent on every possible level of the definition.
G4624 Offended skan-dal-id'-zo
To “scandalize”; from G4625; to entrap, that is, trip up (figuratively stumble [transitively] or entice to sin, apostasy or displeasure): - (make to) offend.
G4625 skan'-dal-on
A “scandal”; probably from a derivative of G2578; a trap stick (bent sapling), that is, snare (figuratively cause of displeasure or sin): - occasion to fall (of stumbling), offence, thing that offends, stumbling-block.
It is nearly impossible for anyone to question certain things or publically express any opinion other than that which has been deemed acceptable. Otherwise, someone will be offended. And it matters not whether you hold fast or say you are sorry. Saying you are sorry will not be sufficient. You are to be hated and destroyed. I personally believe this is something that ties in very closely with calling good evil and evil good.

Isa 2:7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
Over 70 million cars are produced each year. About 192,000 each day.

Isa 2:8 And their land is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.

i should have started reading this thread when it was started. i read a lot of thoughts that resonate with where i am, and what i have been saying for years. how fascinating to watch the declarations made by The Father through His prophets come to fruition.
one of those declarations has to do with the increase in knowledge. within our lifetimes, the rate of increase in information has been staggering. i heard, or read something relatively recently related to the volume of information that is produced daily that indicates that it is exponentially greater than that which was produced in all the prior years (i want to say in recorded history, as far fetched as that may seem).
the thing that i continue to point out, or the question i ask of my blinded family and friends, who are amazed at all the whiz bang technology; what has all this knowledge and technology done to truly provide the things we crave? we desire intimacy, as it is fundamental to our creation. there is an app that allows people to engage in sexual activity without real relationship being involved. so now people have more access via technology to sexual liasons, but there is less real intimacy developed as a result.
i am an information technology guy. i work in an i.t. capacity, and have done so for years. i am no technophobe, but, i continue to think about the words in ecclesiastes: “Ecc 3:13 And, moreover, anyone of •humanity, That he should eat and -drink and -see good ifrom all his toil, It is a gift of Elohim.” CLT. the ability to enjoy what we have been given is a gift from The Almighty. it is not dervived from a 75” 4k smart television with all the cable channels available, nor any of the other nonsense that is pitched as “life changing” tech.
we can be thankful to our Creator for the mercy that He has expressed in our lives, that we have the awarenesses that He has given us, and comforted by those same awarenesses knowing that what we are observing is according to His will, and will end with this evil age.

true story that points out that this was done with intent.
i was married to someone that is an episcopalian. she decided that we needed to go to a religious retreat that was sponsored by the church that was billed as "A weekend with Jesus Christ". it turned out that this retreat with Christ, was nothing more than an information session about an upcoming doctrinal change that legitimized homosexuality within the episcopalian church of america. during the first session of the retreat, the individual that was driving the conversation talked about the different pieces of legislation that occurred over the previous decades to remove any legal barriers to the open practice of homosexuality in the country. the work was likened to that done of the civil rights movement, where there was a coordinated and intentional strategy developed to dismantle the legal barriers that were in place enforcing jim crow laws. he indicated that, with the legal barriers removed, there was a concerted effort to change the hearts and minds of americans to a sympathetic posture of homosexuality through entertainment and other media.
i was dumbfounded. not only at the deception that had been perpetrated on my wife and i concerning the intent of the retreat, but that there was a known attempt at breaking down cultural walls and institutions. i have come to believe that all of this is at the hand of The Father to fulfill His declarations, but at the time, i was amazed at the unfolding of the event, and how well it dovetailed into scripture.
