Thoughts on Discerning, Judging, Prophecy, Etc.

I often have thoughts running through my mind when I hear about issues and matters expressed or commented on by people on talk shows, web sites, podcast, TV, radio, whatever else... So I thought of starting this page to write down these thoughts that often fade into the past as unspoken valuable contemplation.

Here's a comment that I wrote on a web site that showed the large number of deceived people asking questions about "the AI god"...

"WHAT ABOUT THIS:  EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT AS ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS WAS FED INTO THE "MACHINE" -- AS IT HAS BEEN SINCE THE START OF "GOOGLING" -- AND PEOPLE HAVE TO KNOW THIS."

In other words: the old saying "garbage in garbage out" that came along when computers first came out still holds today !

I was recently reading a web site comments on some of the signs of the end times about the soon return of Jesus Christ.

A thought came to me about another sign that will be coming up soon as we read about the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple that seems to be more and more prominent these days.

Here's the thought that I wrote and now share with you today:

"Here's another sign to watch for --perhaps the most meaningful as time goes... We know that the antichrist will show himself at the half-way point of the 7-year tribulation. We know that it will take 3-1/2 years to build the Temple according to credible estimates. Therefore when they begin to build the Temple, we can expect 3-1/2 years for the revelation of the antichrist which will begin the last and final terrible half of the 7-year tribulation. But right now we need to be watchful and prepared for the time of the rapture which only God knows and will announce at the last trumpet sound."

Divorce-and-Remarriage, the way I read it in the Word of God...

Here's the way I read it in the Word of God.

First, the issue is not about "divorce" -- the issue is about "divorce and remarriage after divorce".

Second, when faced with difficult decisions, one should go to the Scripture, not to friends or "big brothers" or counsellors who don't know the Word of God.

Third, Jesus said the only exception for remarriage after divorce is "fornication" against a spouse. This is a sin of unfaithfulness against a spouse. In this case, the divorced victim is free to remarry, but the one who committed the fornication is not free to remarry.

The Bible says "whosoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.” (Matthew 5:31-32).

The 4 A's (abuse, addiction, abandonment, adultery) are human emotions made "exceptions" by man. Divorce is biblically permitted in these cases -- but do not free anyone to remarry when the spouse is still alive. That is because marriage is a covenant that can only be broken by the death of one of the two covenantors.

If someone's spouse has passed away by death, that one is not divorced but is a widow/widower and is free to remarry anyone who is single or widowed. I am always perplexed as to why -- of all those single or widowed who are biblically available -- why would anyone pick someone who is divorced with a living spouse? Unfortunately, people don't know their Bible.

(Matthew 5:31-32. “It has been said, Whosoever shall put away
his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you that whosoever shall put away hiswife, saving (except) for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.)

Who are Sheba, Dedan, Tarshish, the young lions... in Ezekiel 38:13?

I know, it's been a while since I've been here, but there is so-o-o-o much to do. I'll try and get here more often... I do have lots of thoughts going through my mind on a daily basis...

Anyway, here I am today with a very interesting topic to do with End-Time Prophecy...

One of my favorite places to go to for end-times prophecy from Israel's point of view is the ministry of Amir Tsarfati, "Behold Israel".

And in a recent devotional, Amir shares about a particular area of prophecy that a lot of people are asking about, to do with who is "Sheba and Dedan" and others mentioned in Ezekiel 38:13 --

"Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?"

So I want to share that very interesting write-up of prophetic understanding of the people and land the Word of God talks about.

Amir expounds on the meaning of that prophecy of Ezekiel, pointing to a strong friendship with the Arabian Peninsula, and a weak America and Europe at the time of the end...

He sees “Sheba and Dedan” as the names of the Saudi Arabian Peninsula today, the merchants of Tarshish as Western Europe, and all the young lions as being the substance of what America was born of...

For those of you interested on end-time prophecy from Israel's point of view, you can read the rest of this enlightening devotional article from Amir at this link...

End times illusions vs Realities of religion and the universe

I received an email a while ago from someone on a topic of the "illusion" of religious beliefs. In these times of timing of the events of the book of revelation, this subject matter is an interesting enough topic to write about on this site, being a theological subject shared by many in the scientific field. /DMH
