Can't wait to see this, Mike. I love AIG stuff too. Also, i don't remember if it was venge or stormyknight, but someone in this thread mentioned those who deceive as wolves. Wow!. I've really had the thought so much recently of the line from a movie- i think it's "The Bridge to Terebithia" but the dad says to his son "There are sheep, and there are wolves and then there are Sheepdogs and we are sheepdogs". The wolves don't like us, and sometimes the sheep don't like us, but that's part of our calling. I think it's not just the ones who say they are God, but also those like Joel olsteen, and Benny Hin, and those who teach replacement theology, and prosperity gospel. The church / Congregation is deceived, but i think that some of the pastors are so deluded, - so deceived that they themselves actually believe they are right. In the last days many will depart from the faith and listen to false doctrines. Who are the ones being deceived? It's the ones who are religious, go to church, do the motions, give to charity, sing in the choir, but inside are like dead mens' bones. I was completely struck by the staggering number of pastors who don't say anything in this crisis about end-times. How can any Christian, in any culture be so deluded- that they cannot/ will not see all the converging signs.? This has got the attention of the whole world.

Sadly, it’s possible some are partially blind when it comes to prophecy. It’s really an area many churches do not focus on. So when it comes to covid19, it’s my opinion that many just go with the flow whereas we recognize something doesn’t add up.

Venge - I saw a post of yours a few days ago saying something to the affect that you feel this (covid19) is an end times sign as it affects the whole world. I would concur in that it truly is affecting all. I pondered this a bit more as information becomes more and more available. The media continues to push fear and panic but there is alternate information that also tells us that this isnt quite the pandemic we are being told it is. While I dont discount those who have been critically ill or passed as it is deadly for those with underlying issues, etc., it is not (in a very high % of people) as detrimental for roughly 95.5% of the population ( source - 11M of 250M chance for severity) and even less % of the 11M dying. With such a low percentage of the total population affected, do you see this the same way? For example is it really the rider on the red horse or is the a deception (which would still cause it to fall to end times of course) or could it be both. Just curious as to your take

Just curious as to your take mikeI take the seals as being opened since Christ ascended. I don’t take this event’s death toll as the reason, but it’s economic effect world wide and how it causes now and possibly later - great geopolitical changes that affect the coming of the AC whenever that happens. This moving away from open borders to isolation has meaning

mike We are strangers and wanderers in a foreign land. This world is not ours. Our citizenship is in a new heaven and new earth. What we see happen doesn’t concern us. But while here, we are to save who we can. Came across this while listening to music and reminded me of this post. Thanks Venge for reminding me to focus on the mission and stay on course Matt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
