You know I never said to you what you want, I said it is your choice. I gave you the reason why I believe and it is not what I want. I believe base on my studies of the Scriptures, that is required of each of us. What I want is to be save, what I believe is to study and stay on the path to salvation. Be blessed!

Continuing with "my" scenario: The 7 last plagues destroy the earth as we now know it. Every living thing is destroyed - including all human beings left on earth after the redeemed are removed by Christ. The earth is consumed by fire, and perhaps the surrounding atmosphere - maybe this solar system. Our sun may go super-Nova, and begin to circle a black hole. Satan and his angels are left on what remains of the earth, where they are "imprisoned" for 1000 years. Earth becomes "the uninhabited place". The earth "rests" in desolation, for all the Sabbaths it did not rest during the 6000 years of Satan's domination. At the start of the 8th millennium, Jesus will heal and restore the earth (or a new earth) making a habitable place for humanity once again. The "rest of the dead" are resurrected. Christ - with the saved (now having completed their priestly consecration) will return to earth. His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which splits to become a plain. Many of those resurrected as "the rest" will flee. I believe that many Jewish/Israelite people will be included in "the rest". They died without full understanding, and as such will be given the opportunity to receive and serve Christ as Messiah. Jesus, with the saved will rebuild and restore. They will build houses. They will plant vineyards. People from "the nations" ("strangers") will work their fields. They will build Ezekiel's Temple, and begin to educate "the rest of the dead" in the "ways of the LORD". People from the nations will "go up to the House of the LORD" to learn His ways. They will present - as their perfect offering, the death of Jesus. I believe the vision of Ezekiel, concerning animal sacrifices by Zadok priests at the future Temple, was a prophecy given in symbols. The Zadok priests typified the redeemed priests, who stand with Christ. The animal sacrifices symbolized the body and blood of Christ, presented as the "sacrifice" or "offering" in this future Temple. The "stream" that became a "river" which brought back to life the earth, symbolized the Holy Spirit of God who will bring all things back to life. I do believe Ezekiel's Temple will be an actual place - a Temple at a location on earth designated as Jerusalem. One thing I can't quite put together: If Jerusalem becomes a "plain", then how will it also be "the Mountain of the LORD" ? All the people of "the nations" will be invited to come up for the Feast of Tabernacles (Zechariah Cpt 14). The people of "the nations" either come up and "enter in" or refuse. The Holy Spirit (symbolized as "rain") is withdrawn from those who refuse. (The high ceremony of The Feast of Tabernacles was a prayer for rain.) Some will come. Some will refuse. Those who refuse are called "the family of Egypt" - a name used for the mixed multitude who came out of Egypt with the Children of Israel. Those who refused, are gathered by Satan into a vast army. They come up to attack Jerusalem, in an attempt to overthrow Christ and His priesthood who have been ruling as "kings and priests" to govern "the nations". "Fire" will come down from heaven and consume them (Exodus 20). Satan and his angels will be thrown into "the Lake of Fire". A memorial will be erected after the bones are gathered to a city named Hamon Gog. This memorial will be a reminder of what sin has caused. Sort of like the Holocaust Museum. It's doubtful that many will visit that memorial very often. But it will remain. Peace is forever restored. THEN will come the final Great White Throne Judgment. This will be a review of the "books". All the redeemed must come to agree with the LORD's judgment concerning "the lost". Once all questions are answered, God's "memory" of the lost will be destroyed in the Lake of Fire, so those people can never be resurrected again. The lost will "stand" before this judgment only in the sense of their record. They will not be conscious. They will be "dead". There is no mention of a third resurrection. I think it possible that the memorial of Hamon Gog may also be vaporized and disappear after the Great White Throne Judgment. Then on into eternity.

An invention ahead of it's time! Many men have been subjected to verbal abuse by feminists who insist they do not need some man holding a door for them. One man after enduring a tongue lashing from some self sufficient feminist simply replied, "I'm sorry. I thought you were a lady!"

I you know that I do not accept EGW books like most, Joe! You of all people know that! I have said over and over that her visions, is what I do believe. Why? Because they are already in the Bible, period. You can go back over my comments and you will never comment a lot about EGW except her visions. Again, I will say reading a lot of various books to explain the Bible is not necessary. If you choose to do so, that is your choice, I presented to you the reason why! That is my choice and we don't agree and I can accept that. I present base on my experiences and understanding. Then the Bible says to share what you have learned. I do and then the rest is up to the individual and THE HOLY SPIRIT! There is no argument with me. Blessings!

6 Things You Probably Didn't Know About "Dallas" On November 21, 1980, 350 million people around the world tuned in to television’s popular prime-time drama “Dallas” to find out who shot J.R. Ewing, the character fans loved to hate. Here are 6 things you didn’t know about the hit television show “Dallas.” Communism May Have Fallen Because of “Dallas” “Dallas” was aired in many places around the world, including Romania and Russia. Nicolae Ceau?escu, the last Romanian communist leader, was reportedly tricked into thinking the show was anti-capitalist. According to Hagman, viewers could see the show, which featured the wealthy, feuding Texas oil family, and he thought it led viewers in communist countries to question authority and want more in their personal lives. Larry Hagman Was Not The First Choice to Play J.R.! Believe it or not, Hagman was actually not the first person to be offered the part of J.R, with Robert Foxworth being offered, and declining the role. Foxworth said that the role needed to be softer, whilst Hagman made it his own and the rest is history! Hagman’s Contract for the Show Determined Whether J.R. Lived After the character J.R. was shot, whether Hagman returned to the role depended on his demand for an increase in salary. In the fourth episode during the fourth season, viewers discovered that Kristin was the person who shot J.R., which is something fans had been waiting for with bated breath. Hagman received his raise in salary and a percentage of the series, so he stayed on the show. A Video Game Was Made Based on the Television Show The Dallas Quest was released by Datasoft in 1984 and was based on the television show. The premise was that the player had to search for an oil field map, and if they found it, they would be paid $2 million. Along the way, the player had to fight off the Ewings, angry cattle, and monkeys. A Song Was Written About the Television Show Hank Williams, Jr. repeatedly mentions the show’s characters in his 1985 song, “This Ain’t Dallas.” He sings about how they are a working family in Tennessee and are not J.R. and Sue Ellen with their chauffeur-driven limousine. The song reached number four on one of the country charts on Billboard. The Spin-Off Was Created Before The Main Show! “Knots Landing” was presented as a spin-off of “Dallas” when it debuted in 1979, but it had actually been conceived before “Dallas”. When creator David Jacobs pitched “Knots Landing” to CBS, the network executives liked the idea but wanted to go with something more "saga-like". Jacobs then created Dallas, which the network accepted and premiered in 1978. After Dallas became a hit, Jacobs was then able to adapt Knots Landing as a spin-off series by way of incorporating characters introduced in the parent series.

That is funny right there! But let's not give Donald Trump any credit because the country seems to be doing very well at the moment even though his sins are being cataloged religiously here!

I think Im glad that I have no idea what you are talking about.

B/W, even though I didn't like the way things went down at 3ABN, it still seems to me that God is with them, because they are still going strong! At least outwardly??
