What pieces are missing before this happens? How close or far away are we from this? Quoting: Herbert Snuggles ALL OPINIONS & THEORIES WELCOME All over the map. No consensus can be identified. |

User ID: 77395904 United States 06/04/2022 09:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Or was that pederast? Religious terms are all theology to me. I can only testify to what I know, which isn't much. People didn't like it, but when I was a child, I told people what I knew, which was that God sent me. But I had no idea of timing, although I had some notion, not backed up by anything specific that God told me, as far as I could recall, a notion that God sent me to watch over the end times. Not to do anything, no specific mission. I did tell my mother God sent me to tell her who she was, but I couldn't remember what that would be, and I don't think I meant her specifically, but people, who seemed to have forgotten who they were. I also had my own impression that I wasn't anybody special, and God didn't love anyone any less than me, or any more than me. God was very fair that way. I always believed I thought like God thought. I mean, for instance, that I hated sin, but I could see that most people liked to sin and couldn't be talked out of it, so I concluded that it was usually best to let them sin and learn from their mistakes. I had a sort of faith that they would learn and turn away from sin eventually. I imagined if God were me, he would have to mostly do as I did: give up on trying to convince people not to sin and let them work it out for themselves. I would get angry at people who blamed God for sin because He must have felt as I would have felt if someone, damaged by their sin, turned on me and blamed me for not trying hard enough to stop them. When God gives people free will he has to give away some of his will. It isn't his will to turn the world into a smoking ruin, but people have the mad collective will to do it, and God doesn't force his will on people. Sometimes my will goes against God's will, not exactly in matters of sin, but of style and understanding. Though I have a heart and mind like God's, I don't have the intelligence or wisdom, so I can't always tell what is the best thing to do, or what is the best timing for an action. He understands and doesn't hold my will or my ignorance against me. Anyway, about the timing. I suspect it isn't entirely in God's hands, because it seeks a change in the hearts and minds of people, which happens according to their wills and their readiness or growth. The scriptures mention matters of timing in that way: the people of Cannon hadn't yet reached the full measure of their wickedness, so God held back the conquest of the Holy Land. In revelation, somebody tells the saints under the alter that they must wait until the measure of the saints or martyrs is full. Does God strictly control the saints or martyrs, or isn't in their own will that they come to their destiny? The book says there has to be revealing of the truth, and the kings have to search out the things concealed in scripture. My theory is that even the fallen angels need to be redeemed before the new creation can start with all the sons of God on board. I offered to redeem the fallen angels, and I'll even go to hell for it if I have to. I want the new creation that badly. But I think it's a little vain to try to find the dates, or at least it's less important than the revelation of the truth and the redemption of everyone who can be redeemed. It's better to work on things that make a difference. 230 here, but 0 there. |
