Promise All shall bow down before Him Psalm 72:11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.

I am ready to toss out all my other books on Revelation. This latest release from Dr. Tonstad is the easiest yet that explains that the book of Revelation is just that- a revelation of the character of God that sets the record straight

A large two-engine train was crossing New York and at the helm was a train engineer who had recently moved from Israel – Itzik Hadari. After they had gone some distance, one of the engines broke down. "No problem," Itzik said and carried on at half power. Farther on down the line, the other engine broke down and the train came to a standstill. Itzik decided he should inform the passengers about why the train had stopped, and made the following announcement, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that both engines have failed, and we will be stuck here for some time. The good news is that you decided to take the train and not fly."

Moishe Wasserman went to the kosher meat restaurant by his house and the head waiter came over and greeted him with a smile. "Good morning sir, may I take your order?” the waiter asked. “Yes,” replied Moishe. “I'd like two boiled eggs, one of them so under cooked it's runny, and the other so over cooked it's tough and hard to eat. Also, a steak that has been left out so it gets a bit on the cold side; burnt toast that crumbles away as soon as you touch it with a knife; margaine straight from the deep freeze so that it's impossible to spread; and a pot of very weak coffee, lukewarm." "That's a complicated order sir," said the bewildered waiter. "It might be quite difficult." Moishe replied, "Oh? I don't understand – that's what I got yesterday!"

This morning the Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana law that required doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. The issue in June Medical Services LLC v. Russo, was whether this limit actually protected the health of pregnant women and wasn’t in place just to make it more difficult to have an abortion. This was very similar to the issue the Court last visited in 2016 (Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt) when it overturned a Texas abortion doctor admitting privileges requirement.

That would depend upon one being able to prove that said "conspiracies" are indeed taking place by official Adventist sources. And a few other things. Your post has echoes of the conciliarist heresy of Pierre d’Ailly and Gerson, and "the learning church." The Bible is clear, that "the whole world wondered after the beast." This is not "an Adventist conspiracy theory." No matter how much one does not like it. Seems to me people talked exactly like this when they were asking "how will such a big entity as The USSR ever be taught the gospel?" The entire structure came tumbling down like dominoes, and seemingly over night. I wont get into who was behind that just now, as I doubt most would be accepting of it, people prefer media fodder to reality, but history records those movements as just what prophecy predicted. There is no reason to suppose it will be otherwise when "the whole world" does all that "wondering" after that "beast."

Yes. It's easy to target the Tennessee guy and portray him as a nutcase. But, aside from the date setting, is it any crazier than the idea that there is a vast conspiracy (for which there is NO evidence) among the papacy and US protestants to amend or abrogate the US Constitution, force people to worship on Sunday, and chase down, persecute, hunt and kill some obscure sect called the SDAs that few have heard of, and none is fearful of? And then the whole world, including Muslim Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, Indonesia etc., including Hindu India, including Buddhist/atheist China, etc. will line up behind the Pope and exert their energies to hunt down and kill SDAs who are barely even present in their countries? The idea of an Islamic bomb in Nashville is far more probable than our own conspiracy theories.

Fortunately, I said "as I see it," becaue I can not really give a reference for "a" & "A". However, it is clearly presented to us that Satan will attempt an impersonation of Jesus in the very endtimes. This will be a very overpowering deception (if possible, even the very elect). This is why I see this as the "A" antichrist. Satan has been trying to take the place of Jesus since well before event he creation of this world. You may not think you will fall down and worship Satan at the impersonation, but more than one man of God has been picked up off the ground when they fell down worshipping an angel and they were admonished that they were not to be worshipped. Daniel and John are two such men. Satan continues to be an angel of light. "a" antichrists are those people who try to assume positions that clearly belong to Jesus. And there are many. They just to do not rise the the level of the "A". You can become "a" antichrist just by judging others. We are not the judges. Jesus is.

10 Animals Removed From The Endangered Species List On June 28, 2007, the Bald Eagle was removed from the list of threatened species after being under federal protection since 1940. Here are 10 other amazing animals that have been removed from the endangered species list... Panda Bear In 2016, the giant panda bear — long the symbol of wildlife conservation, via the World Wildlife Fund — was officially bumped off the endangered list, as the population of giant pandas living in the wild jumped to just over 1,800. Yellowstone Grizzly Bears In a controversial move, the Yellowstone grizzly lost its endangered classification in 2017, as the bears now number in the 700s. Activists worry that the loss of the protections afforded to the grizzly under the Endangered Species Act put it once again at risk of dwindling in numbers (there were fewer than 200 of the bears in the mid-20th century). Gray Wolf Gray wolves almost went extinct in the lower 48 states due to hunting. However, they were placed under protection in the 1960s after they disappeared from all areas of the country except a part of Michigan and Minnesota. They were reintroduced into Idaho and Yellowstone National Park, and recovering populations exist throughout the west. Snow Leopards In 2017, the snow leopard was upgraded from the endangered list, where it was placed in 1972, to vulnerable, although animals in this category still face a high risk of going extinct in the wild. Estimates by the Snow Leopard Trust are that there are fewer than 100 in the wild, and the population could be 40. The beautiful white cat with black spots lives in subalpine and alpine regions where it blends in with the snow. Southern White Rhinoceros The Southern white rhino is known for its square lip and neared extinction because of poaching of the animal’s horn. It is now listed as near-threatened due to poaching and habitat loss and is found in Kenya, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. The last of the northern white rhinos died in 2018 after a valiant attempt to save them. Chatham Petrel There are only about 2,000 of these Pacific seabirds left in the wild, but their numbers have improved enough that they were lowered from the endangered list to vulnerable. This interesting bird, which lives in a burrow and lays only one egg, is endemic to New Zealand and the Chatham Islands. Conservation efforts in New Zealand, including protection from predators, have been successful in improving the breeding of these interesting sea birds. Arabian Oryx In 1972, the last wild Arabian oryx was shot and killed in Oman. Native to the steppe and desert areas of the Arabian Peninsula, a massive effort was undertaken to breed captive animals and reintroduce them into the wild. This horned antelope with a distinctive shoulder bump is the first to have been returned to vulnerable status from its previous classification as extinct in the wild. Gray Whale Gray whales that live in the Western North Pacific were once thought to be extinct, while those who live in the Eastern North Pacific are doing well. It is believed that around 130 of the Western gray whales along the Western North Pacific are in existence, which makes this group still critically endangered. The Eastern gray whales are believed to have recovered so well they are at near capacity. Steller Sea Lion The Steller sea lion is currently listed as near-threatened and is the largest of the eared seals, attaining lengths of eleven feet and weighing more than a ton. They range from California coastal waters to the coast of Japan. Although severe overfishing caused a steep decline in their numbers, the population has increased, and they were removed in 2013 from the endangered list. Northern Brown Kiwi The flightless northern brown Kiwi with its spiky feathers may be odd-looking, but it deserves love too. These small omnivores live only in New Zealand on the North Island. The Northern brown and rowi, two species that represent the national bird of New Zealand, have been upgraded to vulnerable because of dedicated conservation efforts.

How does one go about interpreting symbols? The best outline of an answer to this question is found in the introduction to G. K. Beale’s commentary on Revelation. First of all, it is important to recognize the way different types of symbolic expressions function. A metaphor, for example, is “a deliberate transgression of a word’s […] The post Interpreting Biblical Apocalyptic (14): Apocalyptic Symbolism II appeared first on Jon Paulien's Blog.

Promise Comfort me on every side Psalm 71:21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

Reminds me of the hateful rhetoric that SDA's used to (and to some extent, still do) generate hatred and prejudice against The RCC and the Papacy. OTOH, I do believe that fundamentalist Islam (not mainstream Muslims) is as much of a threat to religious liberty and nationalism (vs. globalism) as the RCC has ever been. It doesn't have to be stated in such hateful terms, though.

The original was an advertisement bought and paid for. Likely would have been removed by now. You would need to find a paper copy or someone's uploaded image of the article. The newspapers response was news and here is that story (Seems heads are rolling!) https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2020/06/22/tennessean-fires-manager-donates-funds-plans-training-after-anti-muslim-ad-runs/3234806001/:

I usually check out the background of an author, read some of their work and where it is posted, and even read some of the comments of their readers, With all that in mind, I will pass on this book.
