Act 8:39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, but went on his way rejoicing. Act 8:40 But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
When you read something and think the Bible had "science fiction" way before science fictions existed. Not that I am saying anything about the Bible is fiction at all. I am simply referring to the teleportation that was just described in those verses lol.
Now onto the real question, I see what you are saying about the part where we are changed from flesh to spiritual in an instant/twinkling of an eye/moment on an atomic level. Maybe that is why so many who have rapture dreams describe a swift pulling away or movement upwards that is sudden. My question is, what about Elijah, Enoch, and even Jesus ascension and taking away? All were taken somewhere and in an upward direction? I do not disagree on the Heaven is all around us. There are too many stories and descriptions in the Bible of that being very much so. Recent scientific discoveries and understanding of the other dimensions, how they play a continuous role in our 3D dimension, and that we are literally a projection confirms that even more imo. Where they just changed to their spiritual body? Just something I thought about.

Revelation 10:1-7 KJVS [1] And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: [2] And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, [3] And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. [4] And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. [5] And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, [6] And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: [7] But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. From my thread on the global rainbow and the connection I’m sure many are making with these Restoration threads, I believe we are at the threshold of time ending and the coming our Lord. Just a thought to who or what the seven thunders are. 17. And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder: I find your rainbow idea very interesting.

It's a little over 2 hours long, but has some really good information about time, how God is outside it and interacts with it.

Good thoughts mike. Chuck Missler has a really good video explaining how God possibly views/interacts outside of time. It was very informative. I will look for it and post it. He had diagrams for examples and having a visual helped understanding a lot.

I shared this in the whatever thread and it is now my profile photograph. These do not normally occur where I live and are very rare to happen at all even in the arctic. I wish the photographs gave this some justice. This artic halo took my breath away. I know some of my excitement was out of seeing it in person, but the pure joy I felt was so amazing. As soon As I saw it I said oh Lord thank you thank you! I kept talking to Him about it lol as I got out of my car snapping photos. The colors were just unreal.

Amen to all of this. I wish there was a word that we could say that captures all the marvelous brilliance in the Word of God. Truly wonderful. Thank you brother @silentknight for being you and for putting the time you do into sharing here and shining a light on much beautiful truth in the Word of God. Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
So excited to witness the Kingdom of God manifest fully...oh the joy and oh the beauty and truth that we will get to be a part of... Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
WE ARE FREE IN CHRIST! Amen to that! Beautiful verses ❤️ This thread is such a blessing as are SK's other threads. I look forward to each new post with so much excitement. It is like eating your favorite dessert with each new post (chocolate, lots of warm gooey chocolate lol). SK is shining a high beam spot light on scriptures

See mike, but I think that is maybe where things have gotten lost over the centuries. This is not condescending towards you at all because I have had the same thought myself. Why bother? But the whole reason things are in the state that they are is because no one bothers, at least not to tell what is more likely the truth. We have cursed the beauty of it. Overtime the gospel has been twisted and perverted so badly. People have lost what the good news really is. Jesus came to save all of mankind. It says this over and over again in scriptures. I don't fully grasp the process of it yet and maybe I never will. It is really up to God on what he does and does not want me to understand. The information is so plainly there in scriptures it's almost silly what we have come to make it say instead. Some of the verses are so blunt I chuckle to myself that I didn't see it before! SK seems right on track with a lot of what he is saying. Some of it I am still trying to grasp and comprehend. It is a lot of information. I know he does not have all the answers. But he sure seems to have more than most teachers I have come across in a while. I just hope he does not feel bombarded with all of our questions. But back to my point. The whole purpose of the good news of the gospel was to spread it. Which is what Paul was trying to relay to so many because "the law" kept creeping back in, or we(humans) can do this better or maybe that we trust in ourselves more because that is our nature. Your friend at the gym though, the one that said "everyone will be saved" I thought to myself after reading your post about him that was such a peaceful understanding to come to and tell everyone about. I look forward to meeting you guys one of these days and just sitting and have a nice talk

Something that has been on my mind
I have been thinking about ET in lots of different ways lately because of this thread. I mean that in a good way. Fair warning for my coming statement.
A) I have drank wayyyy to much coffee today. It is very very cold and coffee is so warm. I am also on no sleep mode. Took the pacifier away from the two year old and she is very angry about it lol. We are on day 6...
B) If I come across as offensive, please know I mean this purely out of curiosity and thinking at a different angle.
I think the idea of ET is possibly a necessary evil in some ways or circumstances.
Let me explain why I think that, and why some people could possibly never accept restoration at least to its full understanding.
A few months ago I watched a sermon from Pastor Charles Lawson. He is a full on ET baptist preacher. In his sermon he was talking about the hordes of emails he gets from people who are suffering, lost, and tired of their wicked ways. Their number one concern is they do not want to go to hell. They want to clean up their act and come to know the Lord. He also spoke of a ministry that dives deep into prostitution and sex rings to get these people to know the Lord and accept Him as their savior and get them away from that lifestyle of possible. Want to know how they do it? By showing them YouTube videos about hell. This ministry has almost a 100% accuracy in getting people to turn their lives around in the thousands. While I do not personally agree with it entirely, in some cases it works.
In these rather extreme circumstances, if the idea was explained to them that there is no such thing as ET or even just being possibly destroyed eternally (conditionalism), they would not turn away from their sins and accept the Lord as their savior.
God knew we would translate His word this way, possibly and grossly misunderstand it this way, and teach it this way. He sees and knows all, the beginning and the end. What if that was part of the plan? We know humans with the evil in our hearts has made some gross and terrifying visuals for hell. What if God knew it would take completely throwing His true character out the window for a few thousand years to get people to believe? For some, it takes scaring them to get them to see.
Again, not necessarily something I believe as a view, but a different way to look at things or to think about.

Hi guys! I was wrong about this. I have no excuse. I apologize to you. Today, I still thanked, praised, apologized to God. I will continue to love God no matter what. This is a humbling experience for me. God knows true intention of my heart. I let you all down! But I did not do that to deceive you or lie to you. I was very disappointed too. I was wrong but through this experience, I got more closer to God. I hope to get to know God more. It is still high watch period and I will continue to watch but never set a date again. I am so sorry! I will take all the criticism. Thank you. Please forgive me! I will take some time off here. See you all soon in the heaven! Read more: unsealed.boards.net/thread/1201/rev12-virgo-sign-warning-rapture?page=6#ixzz52vs37TDwDon't beat yourself up. No one is mad or upset. I find it interesting when people put all this information together because I don't have the attention span for it lol. I am always intrigued when I read it though. I would encourage reading some of silent knights threads. Take them before the Lord and ask for wisdom and understanding.

domagb , I'm having a hard time interpreting the intent of your posts. I can't tell if you are looking for a response - or just posting your doctrines and promoting your website. Although there is some overlap in what your website teaches and some of the things we have been studying in this thread, we are presenting from two completely different tones and perspectives. I think the reason for the difference in tone is your understanding of what happens to those who die in unbelief. You're position that the torment of the unsaved occurs endlessly, but somehow is still within God - that his Wrath is part of Him - does not jive at all with what I have been sharing in these threads. I don't really wish to debate the disposition of the unbelievers within this thread because that is not the topic. Perhaps, you may want to start a different thread where you teach the content of your website? We could then discuss your positions and your website within that thread. If you have questions, opinions, or concerns that you wish to express in relation to the topic of this thread, I would be happy to see your posts. My last 2 posts have noting to do with unbelievers. The thread title is The Kingdom of God, and your last post discussed how the gospel of the Kingdom needs to be preached before the rapture. I agree, and have done so. BTW, 2 of my 3 posts have gotten likes. God Bless. Maybe just speaking for myself, but I do not always like a post because I necessarily like or favor it, a lot of times I do it so I know that I have read it and don't waste time reading it again. Maybe others do that as well...

SK... How's the anti Christ factor into all this? I guess timing wise is also something I am missing in the question. Again maybe I'm just not seeing it but when the barley harvest happens and the wheat is wondering, where's the lawless one? I think (SK correct me if I have misunderstood ) that what is happening now is "the anti christ." The act of completely rejecting him(Jesus) and still doing the sacrifices. Maybe even more so that they think doing the sacrifices will usher him in. It is the abomination of desolation. It's like saying Jesus dying on the cross isn't good enough, what we (humans) are doing is better by offering animal sacrifices. I would imagine that honesty makes God want to vomit. Although I am also wondering about the image of the beast, two witnesses and that sort of thing.

Wow, my mind is officially blown. A lot to digest. I don't know what 'mainstream' prophecy content you all have been watching, but I have not come across a single channel or website that deals with Israel like this. Anyone know of some? Regardless, this is awesome and seems to make a whole lot of sense. One thing I must put out there - I have no real clue as to how many people understand the spiritual side of things like you do @silentknight but I would venture to say there are few, especially compared to the population of the planet. I am wondering why so much of the world - and much of "Christianity" - is 'deceived', so to speak. I like and agree with the coherence of there really being only one church - that of the tribe of Judah, those who believe in the True King of kings. But I guess what I am getting at is this - especially if you believe in the restoration of all things (I've been meaning to get over there and read that book!), then why are so few people exposed to what you have been teaching in this thread? Then why must there right now be so few people who truly walk by the spirit? Obviously I don't know the hearts of others, but based on my experience in this world and observance of events, I perhaps unwisely jump to the conclusion that there are few faithful believers... I think I am a little disheartened, not by the 'different' things you are claiming in this thread (which I am prayerfully finding to be true), but by how prevalent and widespread walking in the flesh is - even to those who are seeking truth in Christ. What is the meaning of so much deception - even in those that seek Christ diligently and with all their heart? Like barbiosheepgirl I am eager to see what you have to say about the implications of all this in regard to the rapture! Took the thoughts right out of my head but said it much better than I could This kind of reminds me in a way of the reformation 500 years ago. There was ONE person who caused a whole new movement in Christianity by simply nailing a letter to a church door. That letter got a lot of people talking, searching, and wondering. For so long everyone just went along with the flow day in a day out. I am sure there were some who didn't. But the majority looked up to the local churches for the word and followed the church rules like blind sheep. Why would today be any different?

I would like to add to @silentknight most recent post with some dreams that I have had over the last several months. I will link both my dreams to this post for the full versions. ********************** Isa 29:1 Woe, O Ariel, Ariel the city where David once camped! Add year to year, observe your feasts on schedule. Isa 29:2 I will bring distress to Ariel, And she will be a city of lamenting and mourning; And she will be like an Ariel to me. Isa 29:3 I will camp against you encircling you, And I will set siegeworks against you, And I will raise up battle towers against you. Isa 29:4 Then you will be brought low; From the earth you will speak, And from the dust where you are prostrate Your words will come. Your voice will also be like that of a spirit from the ground, And your speech will whisper from the dust. Isa 29:5 But the multitude of your enemies will become like fine dust, And the multitude of the ruthless ones like the chaff which blows away; And it will happen instantly, suddenly. Isa 29:6 From the LORD of hosts you will be punished with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire. ******************** The Lord is certainly trying to tell me and show me something important and that I will need to relay this information to others in the near future. SK and I have discussed these together in private and he has been very patient with me regarding them and my understanding of them. They are not easy to present and I always fear people will think I am crazy. I very very humbly posted these and if you saw what I saw in them, they are not easy to have nor something you want to go and tell everyone about. There have been many times I have thought this. However I feel these dreams go with and coincide with what SK is putting out for us to read and hopefully come to understand. Here are the links to the original post about the dreams: unsealed.boards.net/thread/1060/another-dreamunsealed.boards.net/thread/600/terrifying-dream-jolted-back-lordPlease read them and come to your own conclusions. I am not presenting these to try and convince anyone. These have been dreams that are like nothing I have ever experienced before. I was shown things that I did not know or understand. In both dreams in one way or another I witnessed the destruction of the Jews. The second was the most graphic and hard to watch and experience. In this dream I was on the outskirts of a very old city, not a city in the US. This city had many old stone buildings built centuries ago. It was burning, many of the buildings blasted away or just pieces remained. I was standing with a large group of people who were bewildered and frightened staring and whispering about the burning city. I was very frightened as well. Breathing quickly as I looked at the scene in front of me. It was like I just landed there. I heard screaming and crying coming from within the city. They were so horrible and loud. There were so many. The city was gated off with large steel gates. No one was allowed near them. I asked who was in there and if they were ok? I was told the Jewish people were in there. The landscape surrounding the city was desert, lower mountains and hilly. Nothing in my dream said it was Jerusalem, but it was. I dreamt the aftermath of the above verses from Isaiah describing the destruction of Jerusalem. There is only one thing that could cause the destruction I saw. Everything was so charred, black, and burning. Prior to these dreams I had no knowledge of these things. In all honesty these dreams are hard to swallow. Possibly very much so getting confirmation of them has made me almost physically ill. Take this information as you will, pray on them and these threads that SK has put so much time into doing.
