The UK team found the pesticides caused an 85 per cent drop in queen production.
Some of the world’s most commonly used pesticides are killing bees by damaging their ability to navigate and reducing numbers of queens, research suggests.
Scientific groups in the UK and France studied the effects of neonicotinoids, which are used in more than 100 nations on farm crops and in gardens.
Writing in the journal Science, the groups note that bee declines in many countries are reducing crop yields.
In the UK alone, pollination is calculated to be worth about £430m to the national economy.
And the US is among countries where a succession of local populations has crashed, a syndrome known as Colony Collapse Disorder.
Many causes have been suggested, including diseases, parasites, reduction in the range of flowers growing wild in the countryside, pesticides, or a combination of them all.
The neonicotinoids investigated in the two Science papers are used on crops such as cereals, oilseed rape and sunflowers.
They let bees from some colonies feed on pollen and sugar water containing levels of imidacloprid typically found in the wild, while others received a natural diet.

My comment:
Like 85 per cent of the queen bees dying, so will 85 per cent of mankind perish. But not before extreme pain and agony will hit Earth as the Prophetic Word explain.
No queen bees, no distribution of pollen. No pollen, no reproduction of plants. No plants, no food.
Soon men will start dying like flies on the face of the Earth. Poor and rich alike.
Isaiah 24:5-7
The earth is defiled by its people;
they have disobeyed the laws,
violated the statutes
and broken the everlasting covenant.
Therefore a curse consumes the earth;
its people must bear their guilt.
Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up,
and very few are left.Luke 21:34-36
“Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”
It looks like we will all be here to see the queen bees dying. We have not been taken in a rapture, not yet.
Jesus said: “That day” will come upon all who live of the face of the whole earth. That is both me and you.
Be prepared for a bumpy ride. Behold we have victory in the end. The Messiah Jesus will return to save a badly beaten and mentally exhausted bride. Mentally exhausted by seeing so many people cursing God, even in the midst of their pain and agony, refusing to repent. Still rejoicing over every word spoken by the Lamb of God, the Lion of Judah.
If you have not surrendered to Jesus, do it today. Forgiveness for sins is still available for all who cry for mercy to Jesus the Messiah. Amen.

News that matters 
>>It looks like we will all be here to see the queen bees dying. We have not been taken in a rapture, not yet.<< Woe to those who still believe there will be a Great Awakening BEFORE the Rapture and all who reject The Lord then will be the ones "Left Behind"…<<What do we have to see before we give more credence to what Jesus says instead of "the multimillion dollar worldly prophets''…I feel sorry for them and feel ashamed I ever listened to anyone who used the Word for gain and claimed it godliness of the world's treasures. Millions of world's religions will also have a rude awakening! "Jesus meant it when he said ''I will say, I never knew you''…WOW!!
Dear Ivar,
Shalom. Thank you for this article.

My Comment:
I don’t know about you, but every “Bride” I know of is already badly beaten and mentally exhausted. Phil 1:29 says, “For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.”
When we rightly divide the Word, we see that in Revelation 3, Jesus has promised His Bride an “open door.”
“Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes.”
“They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy.”
“The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white.”
“I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels.”
“What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.”
“I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.”
“I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.”
“I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.”
“Since you have kept my command to endure patiently:
I WILL ALSO KEEP YOU FROM THE HOUR OF TRIAL THAT IS GOING TO COME ON THE WHOLE WORLD TO TEST THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH.”
Ivar, you will not being going thru the tribulation. God’s word says so — not just my opinion.
God Bless.
Phil 1:29 says, “For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him…..that word suffer does not mean you may have to wait in line for a seat in a restaurant on Sunday afternoon! and silently say grace but not too loud to.. also in Revelation 2 we see this ‘tribulation’ again…
Rev 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. I’m told by some that ‘these scriptures only apply to the Jews…&…and the unbelieving of the world…the Gentiles are exempt from the suffering…I choose to beileve GOD and His Word not the Satan ruled wordly bibles and beliefs.
Dear JM.
Shalom.

My comment:
First. I deeply respect pre-trib Christians as my brothers. But I disagree with them. This line is one of them.
This line do not say that we will be taken away from Earth. It is rather saying He will protect us during a TEST of ALL.
During the black plague in Norway around 1347-1351 A.D, half of the population died. Around 60 per cent of the people in Europe perished. That was between 50 to 80 million people. A very similar loss of life as in World War II.
That was surely a “trial”. Christianity in Norway was at its infancy, and those who were going to take the message of Jesus further on in Norway survived. This was also the height of the Roman Catholic persecution of Jews. The Jews were slaughtered an mass as “Christ-killers” since the expulsion in England in 1290 A.D. The five years of Great Tribulation between 1347 to 1351 A.D, are quite similar to what we can read about in the book of Revelation.
The Holocaust was a trial and a test for all Germans. Only a small minority stood up against Hitler, and was literally beheaded. Many of them are “alive”, and will come back to reign with Jesus in the Millennium. All the Nazis are physically dead, and they souls are in an eternal prison. In Hell there will be endless time to reflect on the errors they believed in, and the trap they walked into.
Just reflect in this:
1. If we are gone. why “test” the rest?
2. To “test” them for what?
3. Is it not we who claim to know Him, who are tested?
Do we really love and chose Him, in the middle of stern testing?
Many, many, fell away during such tests. Those who overcame, gained everything.
Dear Ivar,
Shalom.
The key to understanding the timing of the rapture is understanding the different dispensations which God deals with a certain group of people during a certain time periods. We have to rightly divide the word in order to understand the Bible. (2 Tim. 2:15).
God has a completely separate plan for Israel than He does for the Church. When Israel rejected Christ, God temporarily put them on HOLD. It was revealed to Paul through many revelations that the age of Grace (Church Age) had begun and God would NOT deal with Israel again until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in.
“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion a Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
“As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. For the gifts of God are without repentance” (Romans 11:25-29)
Israel will be the focus of the end times — NOT the church. God made an everlasting covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that He will fulfill. His promises are different for Israel than they are for the Church.
The Rapture WILL OCCUR before the tribulation (or sometime very soon after it begins). The Bible talks about two very different events in which the Lord appears. In one event the Lord appears in the air for the catching away (Rapture). In another appearing, He comes down upon the Mount. of Olives (Second Coming).
These are two very different events for two very different dispensations.
God Bless.
Hi JM,
I agree with you. God only seems to send judgment for two reasons: (1) to discipline believers for their ungodly behavior (think of the various judgments/disciplines on David. “…judgment begins in the house of the Lord.”–1Peter 4:17) The goal is apparently to cause them to repent and bring them back into a right relationship with God. In the Old Testament, that judgment often came through the actions of evil men—and then, ironically, God would often annihilate those evil men for inflicting harm on Israel. (2) The exercise of His wrath on unbelievers for refusing to depart from their wicked ways. This is the harshest and most sobering of judgments as it always results in terror and great annihilation. (Think the Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah—possibly, the Assyrian annihilation of the Ten Lost Tribes, and even the threatened annihilation of the children of Israel before Moses pleaded with God to spare them. The prospect of the severity of the Seventh Seal judgments (Rev. 8:1) cause the inhabitants of heaven to fall into awed silence. What has always intrigued me is that, even though the unbelievers understand that the judgments of Almighty God and the Lamb are falling on them for their evil deeds, they still refuse to turn from them. (see Rev.6:16-17 and 9:21) This suggests that they are a people so thoroughly deceived by Satan that they think of God and the Lamb as their enemies, just as Satan does.
Since the true Church—the Bride—does not fit into either of those two categories, there would be no reason for the Bride to be here during God’s judgments. Now, in saying this, it does not preclude ongoing persecution and martyrdom, coming through evil men, right up till the moment of the Rapture. The true Church has always been persecuted and martyred for the sake of increasing the Kingdom of God on the earth. “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” (John 12:24) God promises the martyrs (see Rev. 6:11) that once the full number of martyrs have arrived in heaven, He will begin His judgment on Satan’s people. Since coming to faith in Christ will result in instant martyrdom, it is apparent that there will be no believers left on the earth after the point where God’s judgments begin. Again, since the first duty of the Church is to preach the gospel to lost sinners, there would be no reason for any believers to be left here (we are “not appointed to God’s wrath”) after God’s judgment begins to fall on those who take the Mark of the Beast and who identify completely with Satan.
Additional note: Jewish believers will likely still be here on earth, however—having been taken to a place of safety while God deals with Israel’s enemies.
Hi Ellen,
I agree with what you said as well. As far as Jewish believers being on earth — I assume you referring to those who found faith in Yeshua after the rapture.
Have a nice day! 🙂
P.S. Happy Nisan 10! Come Now, Lord Jesus!
Hi JM,
Yes, while more Jewish people have been saved in the last 100 years than in all the centuries since the Resurrection, the vast majority of Jews/Israel are still without their Messiah. I believe that will happen as the Zechariah 12:10 prophecy is being fulfilled, during the Tribulation. At some point, the Daniel 9, 11 and 12 prophecies must be fulfilled but kind of fuzzy on the timing for those— although the Daniel 9:26-27 prophecy sounds like it will be very shortly before the Antichrist desecrates the Temple, at the mid-point of the Tribulation.
It seems best to place these events after the pre-Trib (pre-wrath?) Rapture of the Church. For many reasons, that is the most probable time for the saving of Israel—both spiritually and physically. Perhaps Israel will even be permitted to supernaturally see the Rapture of the Church. For many years, I have had a mind’s eye picture of the Zechariah prophecy. I always see them looking toward heaven and falling into great mourning and repentance, because of what they see. Then, after the Antichrist desecrates the Temple, Israel will flee and be taken to “a place of safety” to wait out the rest of the Tribulation, (fulfilling the Matthew 24:15-22 prophecy). By that time, they will have reread the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation. They will know that they have a short wait (1260-1335 days to be precise) until their Redeemer comes with His saints and His angels to gather them from their hiding place(s). There may be a tiny group of Gentile believers who come to faith during the Tribulation but escape martyrdom by somehow managing to stay out of Antichrist’s clutches. Perhaps they will be with the Messianic Jews and receive protection from that source—like Rahab. 🙂
Dear Ellen and JM.
Shalom.
I think all debate about pre-trib or pre-wrath debate are interesting. I learn something from all of them, also what verses from the Bible that is used to defend different views.
But it is always easier to explain to people what takes place in the present. People who are not blind can read and see.
Even when you talk about what took place last week, people seems to forget very fast.
In regards to what is ahead of us, this will forever science fiction for all who do not believe. Like Jesus coming back.
Only when you obey Jesus, you will be lead into all the truth by the Holy Spirit.
I know for sure that believers in Yeshua is not destined for God’s eternal wrath. We will be taken away in a rapture. I have always said: The rapture will take place when it takes place. There is very little I can do about it. But to tell people to sit and wait for the rapture, is fruitless.
In regards to Israel, I am confident God is fully in control. When the full number of gentiles have come into the Kingdom of Heaven, all of Israel shall be saved.
Jews can hear the gospel today, and be saved. So let us keep on sharing the gospel about the Messiah crucified for our sins, and resurrected for our justification. This message cut people in their heart, because the Holy Spirit comes and CUT them. Amen.
Amen, Ivar. 🙂
I do not see that a great “softening” of Israel has occurred yet–perhaps it will not be until they understand that they have “missed the boat”. BUT, there are some who are lately (and by lately, I mean since the founding of modern Israel) beginning to see their Messiah Yeshua—in increasing numbers. There will need to be some understanding of what they are seeing for the Zechariah 12:10 event to cut their hearts to mourning. I have a Messianic Jewish friend who is very concerned that her relatives will be left in confusion after the Rapture of the Church. Because of that concern, she has given all of her stubbornly resistant relatives a packet of information “to be opened in case I disappear.” They of course, think that she is quite out of her mind and send “Jews for Judaism” material to her all the time. 🙂
But what is interesting is that, when quizzed, some of them admit to having read the packet of information. They are certainly softer toward her than they were—probably because they have seen a transformation in her character. At first, none of them would even speak to her—her parents told her that she was “dead” to them. Before she came to Yeshua, she used to be consumed with materialism and wild living and filled with anger and bitterness over the smallest slight. But they see the fruits of the Spirit in her now and are sometimes even a bit curious. Perhaps the “softening” is beginning.

This article writes about an increased longing for the Messiah among Jews.

Is is all about logic. When the gentile heart gets colder and persecute Jews, and threaten to destroy Israel, towards where will the Jews turn?
Hi Ivar,
You said: “When the gentile heart gets colder and persecute Jews, and threaten to destroy Israel, towards where will the Jews turn?”
When all hope is lost they will turn to the One who brings abundant hope. He will be their only hope. But, as my Jewish Christian friend says, “You do not realize that Yeshua is all you need until He’s all you have.” She has been through much poverty, devastating pain and heartache so she knows of what she speaks. But Adonai Yeshua has restored the years that the locusts ate and brought her a great deal of peace and joy. Many Gentile Christians have come to a much deeper love for Jesus through hearing her teaching and seeing the devotion that she has for Him. While grateful for all the Gentiles who have appreciated her teaching, she still desperately longs for the salvation of her kindred people.
I am of the Lord Jesus Christ His own His friend. I am of the Holy Father and am baptized in His precious Holy Spirit.
It is not time for applying the words of the Father to meet your ways of living or believing.
The Holy Spirit will show you the truth if you ask the Father.
The truth is the Holy WORDS of our Father His Holy Bible.
Only through the precious Holy Spirit can you be filled with wisdom and knowledge and truth.
The Bible is very clear to me because I have been given the wisdom and knowledge that you can only receive from the precious Holy Spirit.
The truth will hurt but it is better to be hurt than lost.
I love all of my Fathers children ,my brothers and sisters and I ask for you to give me an ear so you may hear and give me your eyes so that you shall see.
If you believe in a pretrib rapture you will be deceived!
The temptation that our Lord Jesus will save us from is the taking of the mark of the beast.Temptation and tribulation are not the same.
In taking the mark of the beast you will be offered eternal life, if you only fall down and worship this demonic god as the true god.
If you do this you will not be saved no matter if you are Christian.
This the chosen of the Lord the elect can only not be deceived because it is not possible.
The Holy Father will soon put forth a strong delusion upon all the earth,so strong that even the elect will be decieved if possible.
The Father is telling you that He is going to allow the ones who are believers of lies(those who are blind to the Holy Word) and are not Lovers of the Truth(those that have eyes to see and follow the truth)
to be deceived by all of the demonic angels that have been allowed
by the Father to have you believe a lie and not the truth.
Why do you let yourselves be called pretrib,midtrib,post trib? Are you not all the children of the Living God our Lord?
Are you the children of light not darkness?
Are you not of the truth and abhor lies and deceit?
The rapture will happen at the sound of the last trumpet (the seventh trumpet). The Fathers wrath will be poured out unto all the earth at the beginning of the opening of the seventh seal.The seven vials of wrath is the wrath of which is spoken of that our precious Lord Jesus Christs saves us from. At that time blessed are the dead which would be the ones without the mark.The ones who have the mark cannot die but are tortured and tormented by the Fathers 7 vials of wrath.
These will have to be completely destroyed at the battle of Armageddon.
The rapture is at the last of the 6th seal. There is only one rapture.
The angels gather around the throne and everyone is praising the Lords name for He and His Father completed what was said they were to do.
I go and prepare a place for you so that where I am there you shall be also.
An elder ask of John which are these that have robes of white and John says you know sir these are those that come out of great tribulation. The “Great Tribulation”is when satan rules the earth for a short time the last 3 and so many months of the last 7 weeks of the 70 weeks of Daniels 70 week prophecy.
This is saying that the ones raptured (who are definitely the chosen of our Lord) were raptured after the “Great Tribulation”
Read Revelations and ask the spirit to give you wisdom and open your eyes to the truth.
I see the beast is almost to rise and the lawless one has been allowed to deceive many with a lie .
I am of the Lord Jesus Christ test me for I am of the truth!
Amen
IAMone2,
You said: “If you believe in a pretrib rapture you will be deceived!”
I do not see how you arrived at this conclusion. Those who will be deceived are those who do not know or understand the Scriptures. They will not heed Jesus’ warning that His coming will be like the lightning in the heavens. The true Church will not need to be told by anyone that it is Him because His coming will be obvious. The ones who will embrace the Antichrist will be oblivious to Jesus’ words of warning. I think that it is needlessly divisive and insulting to brand any group of Bible-believing Christians as Antichrist fodder. There are legitimate Biblical supports for either the pre-Trib or post-Trib position and we should respect one another for being diligent Bible students.
Ellen
I am not a student.
You are correct the people that have become a believer in lies and not the lover of truth will be deceived.
Please show me one verse that says our Lord Jesus will save us from the tribulation.
I have given you verse in revelations telling you the truth.
The temptation is not the tribulations.
The tribulation is noted as Jacobs(Israels) trouble.
If you are saved and been baptized with the Holy Spirit of our Living Father Lord God then you know that you are an child of Israel.
Jesus says that I no longer call you servants but friends for I tell you all that my Father tells me.
The seals of the 4 are the horses to begin. The next is the lawless one and the mark. All 5 seals are the lawless one 666.
the 6th seal is of satan incarnate this is also the start of the seven trumpets. This is the “Great Tribulation” after this the rapture comes and the dead in Christ shaLL RISE AND THEN THE LIVING. THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY RAPTURE. THIS IS OF THE LORD JESUS CHOSEN HIS OWN.
AFTER THIS THE SEVENTH SEAL IS OPENED BEGINNING THE WRATH OF OUR FATHER BEING POURED OUT IN 7 VIALS.This is the wrath that Jesus says He will save us from and He has because the raptured of the Lord are in Heaven among the throne when the seventh seal is opened.
Read revelations and ask the precious Holy Spirit to give you wisdom of what the scriptures are saying.
Please give me one verse that says our Lord Jesus will save us from the tribulation.
The tribulation is here and I am fighting every night with the Lords word and His precious Spirit to remove these demons that have invaded our Christian Nation.
Peace be unto you
IAMone2,
I scarcely know where to begin. You have said that you are not a student. I hope that we are all lifelong students of the precious word of God–no?
Secondly, no one, including you, can be positive of the timing on the Rapture.
Third, the United States (if that is what you are speaking of) has NEVER been a Christian Nation. It has been blessed by God to have had many Christians as citizens. And many of those citizens have had a great deal of respect for the truths of Scripture and applied its influence to the governing of the nation. But a Christian nation? No. Its founders always expected that it would be a secular state. They had seen, by the example of the RCC in Europe, just how dangerous state religion had been and could be. Now, in saying that, they probably also could never imagine a time when Americans would be so godless. The United States is breaking down because the people have left the old verities in favor of the values of the world—which are definitely NOT Christian, but those of Antichrist.
>> Now, in saying that, they probably also could never imagine a time when Americans would be so godless.<<< All the atrocities that 'they inflicted upon' any race (especially the African Race) and these could not imagine Americans would be so godless'???? Oh my God you can't be ''that blind"! There are still screams heard from the many races America has shown godless actions and support. Up to and including women!
ANdrea
Why are you living in the past.
I was there through the racial wars and the prejudice.
I was treated as such being who I am.
I am talking about the believers of a rapture before the tribulation.
America is an Christian Nation.
The belief in Jesus as our Lord and Saviour abounds in this country.
Not the Us but America is of the Father.
You get away from all the hype and the media and the lies and deceit and you find good kind Christian Jesus loving people evrerywhere.
I am asking to read Revelations and ask the Holy Spirit to give you wisdom to see the truth.
There is no scriptural writings of an rapture before the tribulation.
If you belive there is then you are a believer in lies and not an lover of truth.
You will then become deceived by satan which our Heavenly Father will allow.
Read Revelations and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to the truth.
Peace be unto you
Ellen
Okay let’s talk.
First-I am a child of the living Father our Lord God.
I receive wisdom fron His pecious Holy Spirit which is abiding inside me.
I have received what others have not.
I can see what others cannot.
It is no need to be a student when our Teacher will tell us all when He comes.
What there is need of is Spirit filled Christians fighting for our living Fathers children who are being deceived in these last days.
I could show you that the tribulation has started by revealing the man of that number which is 666 but this is of wisdom to be received from the Holy Spirit.
This you must ask for.
I am not worldly I am lowly and humble in Spirit.
I am fighting for the ones that are like babes in the forest ready to be eaten by hungry wolfs..
Please read Revelations and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the truth.
2nd
1 Thes 5:1-6 (Phi) But as far as times and seasons go, my brothers, you don’t need written instructions. You are well aware that the day of the Lord will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night. When men are saying “Peace and Security”, catastrophe will sweep down upon them as suddenly and inescapably as birth-pangs to a pregnant woman. But because you, my brothers, are not living in darkness the day cannot take you by surprise, like a burglar! You are all sons of light, sons of the day, and none of us belongs to darkness of the night. Let us then never fall asleep, like the rest of the world: let us keep awake, with our wits about us.

I am talking of the American people the ones who hearts are of the Father the hardworking kind caring JESUS LOVING AMERICANS WHO ARE GLAD IN THE HEART TO GIVE AND RECEIVE GREAT JOY TO HELP OTHERS LESS FORTUNATE.
These are the true Americans and are very pleasing unto the Father.
The US isn’t a part of America it is an District of Columbia. 8 sq miles.
Through this administration there has been more vile and putrid perverted devil filled people given permission to come into our Christian Nation and corrupt our children and babies with their filthiness.
This is what I am fighting and by the power of the Holy Spirit these demons will be removed from our Christian Nation.
This strenght is in all of the Fathers chosen to stand and fight satan has already lost and he is no match for a chosen of the Father.
The people who think they will be raptured before the tribulation are weak and without knowledge and will be deceived.
How can you fight something you think is not happening?
Why would you want to get involved in fighting for the Fathers children if you think that you will be gone from this world and it is not your worry?
I am awake watching and have the full armor of my Lord God on and I am ready to turn back these demons that are hurting my little ones.
I love the true American people.
The demons are only using the media to make people think it is our entire country.
This is wrong. There are so many more good loving caring people in this country than the filth that BHO has let crawl in.
True Americans are Jesus loving children of the Living Father.
Peace be unto you
IAMone2,
You have a misapprehension as to the purpose of the Church’s presence here. We have one purpose—to preach the Gospel of Christ in thought, word and deed. Period. When Jesus disciples asked if they could draw fire down on unbelievers from heaven, they were soundly rebuked by Him. John 18:36—“36 Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”
Ellen
Many are called few are chosen.
What is it the church if not the whole body of our beloved Jesus Christ His people?
DO you know the differance between a messenger and a talker?
Why are you not listening to what I am saying.
The Bible clearly states that blessings will come to the ones who read Revelations and keep the commandments.
Why is the Father allowing satan to deceive His own Christian thinking people?
Because our Lord God will not let another satan slip through to ruin His perfect world for His children!
I am not worldly so the History of the past is of no concern.
I am only concerned with the Fathers children opening their eyes to the lie that there will be a rapture before the tribulation.
You may talk around it and not care for what I am saying but if you believe this you are a believer of lies and not a lover of the truth.
On this I say no more!
Peace be unto you.
Revelation is not plural … with an ‘s’ it’s obvious no one can tell or share anything with you, but we can love you in spite of what you assume we or I or are or assume what we believe. Continue to stay in His Word keep your eyes on Jesus.
Hi Andrea,
You said: “All the atrocities that ‘they inflicted upon’ any race (especially the African Race) and these could not imagine Americans would be so godless’???? Oh my God you can’t be ‘that blind’! ”
There is a great film (it may not still be available) called “1776” that speaks to this issue. It is the story of the compromises that were made in the founding of the United States. Sadly, one of them was the acceptance of slavery. It was the only way that they could get the South to join the Union and they knew that without that, the new nation was doomed. It was wrong and the non-Southerners knew it. They also understood that it would have to be dealt with sooner or later. The great blood-bath of the Civil War was part of the payment for choosing expediency over morality. The decadence of the pre-Civil War South was notorious and it was fashioned, in large part, by the immorality of slavery. In many respects, the sins of the fathers are still affecting the nation. Unacknowledged sin always poisons future generations.
What I meant by my remark that the founders never thought that Americans would be so godless, is that now, few even pay lip service to having God’s word as our standard of righteousness. The statesman and legislator, Daniel Webster saw that this would be a grave danger to the nation. He said, in 1823, “If Truth be not diffused, error will be; if God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendancy; if the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will; if the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of the land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness, will reign without mitigation or end.”
In hindsight, it is easy to judge men for their tragic lack of moral courage but we must deal with the imperfect legacy that we were handed–just as they were forced to do. That is life on this planet that is ruled by the evil one. But God has made a way through the darkness. The Church shines brightest when it preaches His gospel—that is the way it has always been and always will be until He comes for us. Rather than focusing on the sins of the past, we must be stubborn in our resolve that future generations will know Him and listen to His voice and that true justice will flow out of that. Amen, Andrea?
Slavery didn’t just start with the North and South (the North had a lot of slaves also)..but yes I have heard that scenario also. These atrocities were long before the slavery as a National Acceptance to such. Focusing on the Past is not my forte’ however to mention it seems to be also listed in many prayers of The Word of God in their prayers to cry out to The Lord ..so all in all to remember, or not to remember, surely would be as one is led and it’s seen on this site as many a good reminder of many lessons, to open and remind us all that we all can not be blinded to just what is around us in this Nation of America or any Democratic Nation, for the screams, and cries still go up around the World to God for the atrocities done to them by the descendants of many who claim they are pious and righteous. So if I have offended anyone it was not my intention but rather feeling free in The Spirit to speak and share as I to am led of our Lord. I will in the future be more quick to refrain though, I must say, I really enjoy this site. It’s in the most part 99% accurate as we all can and do get the flesh in when we assume we think we know what one is speaking. (Smile) Brother James helps to remind us on that one also. Be quick to hear and slow to speak ..My only resolve is to be obedient To The Lord Jesus Christ daily, as I walk in His love to all I speak to. Thanks for Sharing your opinion to me, I enjoyed it also.
