Will we know the hour?
Porter:
--- Quote from: Heidi on July 24, 2021, 06:50:37 PM ---Matt 24:44 For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.
Matt 25:10 But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut.
What does it mean to be ready? Does it imply to have an awareness?

I think it means to be aware of temptations, because as you know, Satan is looking to "devour us" when we do fall into temptation. Remember the night before Jesus was crucified? Jesus asked His disciples to pray with Him and "stay awake" so they wouldn't fall into temptation.
Time and time again, Jesus tells us to endure temptation, to endure hardship and He especially tells us to endure His corrective judgment now in this age. He tells us to believe on Him to deliver us through it, and He tells us to believe this judgment is what will qualify us for His Kingdom. But, if we are "asleep" we will be locked out of His Kingdom and face the great white throne judgment with the rest of the world - what a rude awakening that would be, kinda like not knowing the hour in which Christ comes.
Stay on your guard, and bring every thought captive to the obedience of Christ and pray always.
To be awake and or alert is to have the life of Christ in us. Just like sleep is death, even a spiritual death, so then to be awake is spiritual life.

Yes Porter I agree.
I am also seeing all of the same things that you all are seeing, hearing and experiencing,
as I watch the love of many grow cold. 2 Thes.2&3.
Luke 12:35,,,,,, you must be ready
Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning
36…be like men who are waiting for their master to come home for the wedding feast
so that they may open the door to Him at once when He comes and knocks.
37… Blessed are those whom the Master finds AWAKE
38… and finds them AWAKE
39… don’t leave your house to be broken in to….
40.. you also MUST. be ready ,for the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect
47…. And that servent who knew his Masters Will and did not get ready or act accordingly
to His Will , will receive a severe beating.
The five foolish virgins were not ready, they did not bring oil for their lamps.
Jesus is everything, even the oil in our lamps, the light of the world .
God Bless you All💕
My daughter and grandchildren are visiting. I have not seen them in 3 years. God is awesomely good.
Jas.4:7…. So whoever knows the right thing to do( bring your oil) 😁
In Christ,, Pamela

Couldn't agree more Pamela, thanks for that!
If anyone is interested, I thought this quote from one of Ray's papers would make a great addition to the discussion.

Until and unless the thing that I am going to mention next is an accomplished FACT in your PRESENT life, you will not see The Coming of the Lord, neither will you be in the First Resurrection of spiritual rest and glorification. I kid you not, this is deep and heavy stuff!
BEFORE THE DAY OF THE LORD CAN COME TO YOU
Here then is what must be accomplished in your life before you die:
"Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness, and the work of faith with power: THAT the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be GLORIFIED IN YOU [IN YOU] , and YE IN HIM, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ" (II Thes. 1:11-12)!!
How then does our Apostle Paul tell us this MUST be accomplished? What must happen? What must we do? Or rather what must Jesus do IN US? Here is the Scriptural answer:
"Now we beseech YOU, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him.
That ye be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that THE DAY OF CHRIST [The Day of the Lord] is at hand [FOR YOU...] .
Let no man deceive YOU by any means: for that day shall not come [TO YOU...] except there come a FALLING AWAY FIRST [BY YOU...] , and the man of sin be revealed the son of perdition [IN YOU...TO YOU...] ; Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped [IN YOU ...] ; so that he as God sits in the temple of God ['which temple YE ARE' II Cor. 6:16] showing himself that HE IS [YOU ARE / I AM] a god
Remember ye not, that when I was yet with YOU, I told YOU these things?
And now ye know what withholds [is restraining, is detaining-'the falling away FIRST'] that he ['the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition'- YOU...] might be revealed in his time [in YOU and TO YOU- individually, not collectively] in his time ['his {particular} time']-FOR YOU and FOR ME and for ALL BELIEVERS IN ALL GENERATIONS UNTIL JESUS COMES TO US ALL, COLLECTIVELY, AS THE MANIFEST SONS OF GOD] ."
Long before Jesus can have a COMPANY of manifest SONS and DAUGHTERS of God, there has to be individual begettals by the Holy Spirit of God in chosen individuals in every generation leading up to the coming of the Lord at the end of this age.
"For the mystery [secret, hidden truth] of iniquity [lawlessness] does already work ['is inwardly working' The Emphasized New Testament: A New Translation (J. B. Rotherham)] : only he who now lets will let ['only he who restrains will do so'] , until he be taken out of the way.
And then shall that Wicked [Lawless One] be revealed IN [IN YOU] and TO YOU, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit [breath] of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming;
Even him [not original] , whose coming [the man of sin called son of perdition IN YOU] is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders" (II Thes. 2:1-9).
So yes Dennis, I believe we can know the hour. For a few, the hour has come and gone, but for many, the hour will take them by surprise.
lareli:
Hope I’m not taking the discussion off the rails here but..
What do you guys make of the fact that there have been people basically predicting everything that we’re experiencing, and they’ve been warning for 10 plus years?
Even if you’ve not heard any of these warnings over the last decade surely you’ve observed that for the last year and a half there’s a pattern of yesterday’s conspiracy theories becoming today’s widely accepted fact.. over and over again?

Greetings
"My people perish for lack of knowledge"
There are 2 United States Of America, one incorporated one “We the people” There is a constitution “for” and constitution “of”. President take oath to “of”, youtube video of them taking the oath.
There is the god of the religious world with literal fire and brimstone, there is the true “unseen Father” of mankind”, the invisible Elohim.
There is the legal “person” (persona, the beast), there is the “man” which God created.
There is the “beast” of Revelation with “many eyes”
There is the “beast system” composed of people; mankind, which has manifested as the current world system. The beast has many eyes because it is composed of the sea of mankind. 6 feet apart mandate is so satellite can keep individual tracking, closer than that they cant tell how many people. Masonic ritual are done 6 feet apart in a circle
You have those many called and those few chosen.
When you come to see, I mean spiritually see the beast God exposes in you, believe me you will wish the rocks fall on you momentarily, seriously, but afterwards you will see salvation itself. You will glorify the Father like Nebuchadnezzar did after years living like a real beast! This is what Ray was talking about. When this happens to you you will never be the same again. When I was dragged to God , he took my daughter, that’s when I saw the beast in me. Salvation is not for the faint in heart.
Vaccines ( composed of Graphene oxide nanoparticals and Spike proteins which is causing the block clots) will be mandated to “Citizens” of the incorporated U.S.A, the “legal person” , the sea of mankind, whom they have jurisdiction over.

Satan has no jurisdiction over the “spiritual man” because Jesus has our back, resist the devil and he will flee from you. “if God is for us who can be against us”
Judge: You are order to take the vaccine, do you understand Mr./Mrs Pale Face
Pale Face: No I do not understand (stand under). I stand with my Father in heaven.
There is A LOT going on and if we are keeping close to our Father than we need not fear for He will deliver us. I share this moment to help you keep the oil burning and the lights on in a dark world. Lets be about our Fathers business. Thats what i am doing right now.
