After watching the Harry Styles song "Sign of the Times" on repeat more times than I want to admit... I went to the internet to see what Harry was thinking about when he wrote the song and found a rolling stones interview... here is a direct quote:

“The song is written from a point of view as if a mother was giving birth to a child and there’s a complication,” he added. “The mother is told, ‘The child is fine, but you’re not going to make it.’ The mother has five minutes to tell the child, ‘Go forth and conquer.’”

The Child is fine, but you're not going to make it...?

Was this intentional??? There must be more to this story... We know that the Child will be fine, but most of the mother (Israel) is not going to make it through the tribulation...

Was this Harry Styles coming out as a believer?

Just a coincidence?

Being used by God?

What do you think?

That's amazing, brad! Whether or not the artist himself understands the prophetic implications of the song's words and the imagery of the woman giving birth, I do believe the Lord uses things like this, even if just to encourage those who are searching the Scriptures and looking with eagerness for His coming. Excellent find, brad!

My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises. (Psalm 119:148)

From investing 1600+ hours digging into what exactly this sign means, I learned much about God's Word, where it came from, how it was preserved in the original text and even things man has "re-defined" but my point here is that though our LORD used the Jews, being Jewish doesn't save anybody! Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him as righteousness. Abraham was saved by his faith in God. We in America have been taught that the Jews are Gods chosen because of Abraham but it wasn't his ethnicity it was his faith and trust in the LORD. The first coming of Jesus was as a lamb and he gave His life for us. The second coming, He will come as a Lion and this time though some Jews will wake up to know Jesus is the only way to YHWH, this is about the resurrection of those who have faith and put their trust in Jesus, and to show the unbelieving world that God will not be mocked and that He will sit as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and reign and rule from the throne of David. Bottom line Jews must be saved the same way as anybody by faith in the finished work by Jesus on the cross. Nobody comes to the Father but by the Son.

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.

That is correct, Gary. No man comes to the Father except through the Son.
The prophecies of Christ's return at the end of the Tribulation say that they (primarily the Jewish people) shall look upon Him, whom they have pierced, and mourn for Him, as for an only son. (I know I paraphrased). They will in that moment be presented face to face with their Messiah / Redeemer, and again be given that choice to trust Him for salvation. Depending how you read different passages, it does seem to indicate that not all will believe on Him even in that day.

EnochWalked: data.bls.gov/timeseries/JTS000000000000000LDR Since the start of 2021, the "Layoffs and discharges" rate has hit 1.2 on only 3 occasions: Jan-2023, Mar-2023, and Sep-2024 (which is the most recent month for which there are data). 3/45 months. Nov 21, 2024 7:37:27 GMT -6

EnochWalked: So next month we may see if 1.2 is the "new normal" (actually a reversion to the levels seen before the pandemic), or if the numbers are starting to creep up. Ignoring 2020, the level only reached 1.4 twice in the past 10 years (both in 2015). Nov 21, 2024 7:42:04 GMT -6

EnochWalked: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdWIL8ki7do "Messiah 2030 - FAQ - Part 1". Some interesting insights into their position. They seem to think that the Rapture happens after the Tribulation, and that Christians will have to go through the 3.5 year wrath. Nov 22, 2024 22:36:25 GMT -6

EnochWalked: I am prepared to hear them out on that, but they've been quite evasive about it so far, which suggests either they are not very confident in their position, or they are trying to hide it because they know people will disagree (which feels deceptive to me). Nov 22, 2024 22:38:33 GMT -6
