Texas Sue what I am confused is this is against any logic because:
1. No elites can protect themselves against any economic hardship. Many dreams that they don't need workers, but it is a lie because factory needs workers, services need workers, offices need workers from high rank officers to low rank officers, from those who receive monthly salaries to those who are paid hourly. They need each other. Without the other, the economic process will stop, the flow of money will be reduced and elites will be poor in just a week. Money is just valuable if there are goods in the markets, if there are people who produce them.
2. Changing the state into marxist state will just hurt the elites even more.
3. No government can exist when they kill their own people. From Libya to Syria, From Egypt to Tunisia, they will be toppled down by their own people.
So I think these prisons might be used for other purposes, bigger agenda like just annihilating several FEW people NOT A LOT of people.
I don't know but this is just against any logic. If they want to wipe off Christian, it can't be done, because too many Christians hold important position and keys to many important decisisions, except the rapture happens, aliens coming and ready to replace some human works then it explains well....

Just some thought though ...

Gimel, I can understand that this all sounds to fantastic to be true; however, remember Nazi Germany - WWII. Go back and do a little research on the conditions socially and economically just before Hitler was elected. Yes he was elected to office by majority vote.

Also, when people do reference WWII and the concentration camps, the number thrown out is 6 million Jews murdered which is horrible enough. But what you don't hear about is that the nazis under Hitler also murdered another 14 million including Christians, gypies, political opponents, all mentally ill, mentally retarded, elderly, and ill people who could not produce.

Add to that the number of soldiers from all countries who died as a result of that war and it is an enormous, unbelievable number of innocent men, women and children. Go back and read up on this nightmarish chapter of history before thinking it can't happen here. Look who was elected by majority vote and consider what has happened to our freedoms since 2008. For this post alone I could end up on a list.

Well, all I can say is that I hope that God has plans to Rapture us before FEMA installs the gas ovens! Please, God, don't let there be a Holocaust II right here in America before the Rapture! Amen.

If you're on a list just for posting above, Texas Sue, I guess I'm on that same list just for responding to your post. FEMA is probably plotting to kill us all. I just hope that God has different plans for our future!

who will be left after the rapture?

people without Christ as their Saviour except for new converts. without Christ, think of the behavior of people following Katrina (lawlessness, violence, disregard for human life, disregard for property).

governments without the restraint of the Holy Spirit.
He who currently restrains will be taken out of the way. unrestrained evil in the land.

a very good reason for prayer for these left behind.
why should only the powerful or the wicked stay alive until Christ returns? will He find faith on the earth when He comes back? I pray yes. Please Father in heaven we pray for the left behind that hardened hearts would turn to hearts of flesh and be open to accept Christ as Lord and Saviour. We pray for Your mercy to lead them to shelter, food, clothing, provisions, Bibles, fellowship so that those who love You may remain until Christ's return. So that they may pray for one another and situations until Christ returns and worship You until Christ returns. Let the righteous live so that Christ will find faith on the earth when He returns. we ask You for this miracle Father, coming to You for the sake of and in the name of Jesus because He died for these people to be set free. Thank You Lord Jesus for Your great salvation.
You said we could ask You for the heathen for our inheritance. We are claiming them Lord. Thank You. Amen

Well Texas Sue,

I suppose I must be on a list as well, born Again, Spirit Filled Christian, isn't politically correct in this One World Order Society progressing and growing year by year. This life is temporary anyways! I would prefer to be alive and Raptured, I think I've suffered enough in this world, therefore, more suffering would surely be a quick death for me.

I suppose all whom are watching for the Lord's return are most likely on a list as well. However, I'm trusting the Lord to send His Angels and keep us safe, until Jesus takes us home.

Pray for one another, and be rest assured God hears, and will answer!

May the Lord keep us safe and sound until Jesus arrives for His Bride.

Maranatha!

Meaning...

Matthew 16:24,25 (KJV)

24. Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25. For whosoever will save his life will lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

What Jesus said in the above two texts, leads to the topic of this thread?

Also, Carman's following song--"I Have Decided To Follow Jesus," also implies here to. This song has also been sung at a Billy Graham Crusade for a special youth night too. Here are the lyrics...


I have decided to follow Jesus.
I have decided to follow Jesus.
I have decided to follow Jesus.
No turning back, no turning back.

The world behind me, the cross before me.
The world behind me, the cross before me.
The world behind me, the cross before me.
No turning back, no turning back.

Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
No turning back, no turning back.


And yes, I'm more than willing to 'deny myself, take up my cross, and follow Jesus'--period. For much is our reward in heaven.

Maranatha!

This Ray Boltz song--"I Pledge Allegiance To The Lamb" is more fitting to Jesus' words in the above two texts. Here are the lyrics...



CHORUS
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
With all my strength, with all I am
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb

I have heard how Christians long ago
Were brought before a tyrant's throne
They were told that he would spare their lives
If they would renounce the name of Christ
But one by one they chose to die
The Son of God, they would not deny
Like a great angelic choir sings...

CHORUS

Now the years have come, and the years have gone
And the cause of Jesus still goes on
Now our time has come to count the cost
To reject this world, to embrace the Cross
And one by one let us live our lives
For the One who died to give us life
Till the trumpet sounds on that final day
Let us proudy stand and boldly say...

CHORUS

To the Lamb of God who bore my pain
Who took my place, who wore my shame
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb

CHORUS: (repeat) I pledge allegiance to the Lamb...


And now, history is repeating itself, isn't it, re: Ray's above song!?

So therefore--I very well may be on that list too



Maranatha!

Here are the complete lyrics to "I Have Decided To Follow Jesus"...


I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
No turning back, no turning back.

Though I may wander, I still will follow;
Though I may wander, I still will follow;
Though I may wander, I still will follow;
No turning back, no turning back.

The world behind me, the cross before me;
The world behind me, the cross before me;
The world behind me, the cross before me;
No turning back, no turning back.

Though none go with me, still I will follow;
Though none go with me, still I will follow;
Though none go with me, still I will follow;
No turning back, no turning back.

Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
No turning back, no turning back.

(Repeat first verse one time...)


Maranatha!
