Thank you Pamela - It was a lot of work

But all three were demonetized almost instantly (not that unusual for us - some people do not like us). I appealed and three or four days later two of the videos were remonetized but 9-11 had come and gone and we missed the usual bump in traffic YouTube gets us when we first publish. Still waiting for #2 (I think) to be remonetized but it wont help much now. But I'm use to it.

I just saw The Towers Paper in three parts on you tube this morning.
I was wondering when you would post it Dennis. Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks be to our great God our Father and our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.

This is all very exciting.
Rejoice in the Lord ,and I will say it again, Rejoice in the Lord. ( Phil.)

As long as a person has prepared faithfully it is alright to sleep, because when you awake  to answer the call it will be with joy and not with dread.

But the scripture tells us not to sleep

Mark 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
1 Thes 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

You are correct zvezda. 


1 Thessalonians 5:8
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.

1 Peter 1:13-16
13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

1Pe 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Luke 9:32
32 But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him.

Eph 5:14

Therefore He says:

“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”


Rom 13:11
And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

1Co 15:34
Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

Luke 12:35 Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning,
Luke 12:36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

2 Peter 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

To recap:
- watch, stay alert
- pray always
- be dressed ready, keep your lamps burning
- love one another
- anticipate and hasten (desire earnestly) the coming of the day of God
- remember what you heard and received (remember the teaching you were given and heard)
- repent

Noah prepared an ark (a safe haven) for his family and all the beasts, I think Ray and Dennis also prepared the spiritual ark, aka bible-truths.com, for us beasts 

My daughter had this happen to her as a child and in college .  It turned out that rice was a trigger for her and also activity.  I’m so thankful for you all that he is better.

I'm thinking a lot of gaps will be filled in at the marriage supper of the Lamb

There is much to be learned about Christ’s
reign, the eons , and the one thousand years
in the Letter to Dr Hagee.

In Christ, Pamela 💕

Very well stated Dave, short and to the point.
Everybody is included in God's plan and will receive the gift of life eventually, so don't be overly concerned about your own future life, worry will not change a thing.

I think that's pretty much it, Dynamo.  Look at vs. 12 just following.

Just to add:  the word translated "chance" does not mean quite what it means today.  It simply means "an occurrence". 

HE knows the end from the Beginning.  HE is the "Placer" and ultimate cause of everything.  WE don't know what happens next.  Any "occurrence" to us is unknown, unexpected, and unplanned...at least the biggies are, and often even the most mundane.  We make plans, but the Lord determines the outcome.  We may expect a result, but the result we get is always up to Him.  It's not to the swift, or the strong, or the wise, or to those with understanding, or skill.  It's good to have these things, and not-so-good to lack them--but God is sovereign and follows the counsel of His own will.  He is working in us to will and do His good pleasure.   

"For you it is given to understand, but to them it is not given".  I'm betting you can find similar "verses" related to swiftness, strength, wisdom, and skill.
