The mark of the beast has been given all of these 2000 years. The abomination of desolation has been happening all of these 2000 years. The lie of 2Th 2 has been practiced all of these 2000 years. It's all about true and false Christianity folks. The Scriptures are filled with warnings but no one is listening. Augustin of Hippo and true Quaker George Fox were saved exactly 1260 years apart and they physically died exactly 1260 years apart. They and this time period are in about a dozen OT and NT prophecies, 8 indisputable dates prove it. Ask me via emails for very short explanations or read Quakers George Fox (watch for typos), Isaac Penington, Robert Barclay (1678 edition of his Apology...), anne robare / canabaptism yahoo com PS: They knew who the beasts are. I also understand what Dan 9:26-27 is about. The "flood" is the same "river" of Dan 12; Rev 12; it is very bad news for many people who think they are Christians but are not, Isa 24.

You might enjoy some Nelson Walters videos on YouTube. He teaches a lot on prophetic subjects now. Have pen & paper to copy down the scriptures Nelson quotes from.
Erick Stackelbeck is a Jewish Christian Reporter who keeps us informed on what is happening in the Middle East countries. We need more people to stay abreast of the "Signs of the Times." As always, we must verify statements against what scripture teaches.
Matthew 24 and Luke 21 is being felt all over the Earth. Look at earth disaster videos online. USA is suffering massive drought. Water supply reservoirs are being drained dry; big cities are facing no water disaster. Hoover Dam is almost dry!
WE ALL NEED TO VERIFY these claims. Don't take my word; go see it yourself.
Like I've been warning those in the East: droughts from California to East Texas, means LESS FARMLAND PRODUCTS. Less Food, Higher Prices. Huge increases on cost to farmers for fertilizer. They can't afford to plant crops without it.
Please, get this next statement. THE GREEN DEAL IS THE ONE WORLD RELIGION, THAT WILL HELP UNITE THE WORLD TO RECEIVE ANTICHRIST. Receive His Mark in exchange for food.
Forget High Food prices and go buy a $60,000. electric car to save on gasoline. Let's stop screams for abortion and start screaming AGAINST FALSE LEADERS IN WASH, DC. who are forcing us to buy what we cannot afford.
Don't take their vaccines either. They're grooming us to take the Mark of the Beast. Order food and water wholesale if storage allows, or rent storage. We may have to live the first part of the Tribulation. After the Rapture it's called THE GREAT TRIBULATION. In essence the soft gloves are removed. "Be mild as a dove, and wise as a serpent."
Vote like you and your loved ones lives depend on it. The issues of abortion are actually human sacrifices to an ancient god named Moloch. He's hiding behind the abortion movement.
AWAKE SLEEPERS. Vote red for more time. It's our last chance to turn this tide. Love.
Hello, Dan 7 is about the Lion of the tribe of Judah who took the form of a servant, Php 2. The bear is about Peter and other Christian Jews who obeyed the vision of Ac 10-11 where Peter was told to kill and eat 3 times. The leopard is the saved Christian Gentiles and the 4th is the beasts of the Revelation combined into one great big deadly beast at the end. I also know who the 2 men are on the sides of the river in Dan 12 and the blessed one who waits. They are also in Zech 4; Rev 11; etc. I have the proof with 8 dates for about 12 OT and NT prophecies and more. Just email canabaptism yahoo com, anne robare

Hi Roy. Briefly, the Son of Man is a title used exclusively by Jesus - His disciples never addressed Him as such.
Jesus used it to emphasize His humanity ( Matthew 8:20; Mark 8:31), though there were occasions where He used the title, Son of God ( John 3:18; John 5:25; John 9:35-37; John 10:36; etc).
The title, Son of Man, also goes back to the Book of Daniel where the Son of Man would inherit the everlasting kingdom of God ( Daniel 7:13,14). It is a designation of the Messiah Who would inherit God's everlasting Kingdom.
At His trial Jesus acknowledged that He was indeed the Son of Man - the one who would bring in God's everlasting kingdom ( Matthew 26:64,65). When the religious leaders heard this they accused Him of blasphemy - making Himself equal with God.
The purpose of the title seems to be Jesus' Own emphasis on His Humanity. And through His Humanity, doing the Works of God as none other had done before & bringing the Words of God as they never heard before, the people would also see that this was no ordinary man (as was believed, the son of Joseph & Mary), but One of God, sent by God. Jesus' Life even till His Death proved to at least some folk that this Son of Man was indeed the Son of God: they needed to come to realize this fact by observation, not by His proclamation.
Luke 16:31 And if they hear not Mosses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead.
Daniel 7:14 And there was GIVEN HIM dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that ALL PEOPLE, nations, and language, shall serve him: his dominion is an everlasting, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom which shall not be destroyed.
Daniel 7:27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, SHALL BE GIVEN to the people of the saints of the most high, and ALL dominions shall serve and obey him.
Amos 3:7 Surly the Lord God will do nothing but he revealeth HIS SECRETS unto his servants the prophets.
If there are two groups of people one going to heaven and one going to hell, God didn't reveal this to to Daniel.
Hi Melissa. 'sostanza' is not an English word. We can see it in the Italian language & it almost always refers to 'substance or matter'. In the Italian Bible we find examples in Daniel 7:1, Luke 8:43, Luke 15:13, Hebrews 10:34. The sense of 'evil' is not found there.
I believe it was to clearly point out the fulfillment of Prophecy. Please see:
Son of David prophecy : 1Kings 9:5, Jeremiah 33:17, 2Chronicles 7:18, Psalms 132:11,
The coming promise of deliverance : Jeremiah 23:5, Jeremiah 33:15, proclaimed: Matthew 22:24,43,44,45, Matthew 1:1,
Luke 18:38, some identified JESUS as by different names for significance to themselves, healer, deliverer
Son of GOD : Genesis 6:2,4, Daniel 3:25, Matthew 8:29, Matthew 14:33, Matthew 27:54, Mark 1:1, Luke 1:35, Romans 8:14, Matthew 11:27,
Son of Man : prophecy : Daniel 7:13-14, Revelation 1, Genesis 3:15, Ezekiel 30:1-4, Job 25:4-6, Job 35:8-16, Matthew 24:30, proclaimed : Mark 14:21, John 12, Matthew 11:19,
Additionally he was called the BRANCH : Job 14:7, Psalms 80:15, Isaiah 11:1, Isaiah 14:19, Jeremiah 23:5, Zechariah 3:8, Zechariah 6:12, proclamed: John 15,
Beautifully put. I believe some misunderstand, the "Coming of The LORD, Return of The LORD, THE Day of The LORD " as I did also, as dearly loved fellowship of Believers would pray for it. Maybe by Philippians 3:20, eagerly awaiting, & Colossians 4:2, That misinterpreted.
Then one day I read: Amos 5:18-24,
People long for Mercy, Justice, correct judgement that may be the root of the plea, prayer.
However Jesus instruction was pray "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven " Matthew 6:9-13,
Daniel 7:27, Psalms 145:13, John 17, note John 17:15-16, Luke 17:20-21,
GODS KINGDOM vs kingdoms and dominions - In Reply - 2 years ago
Daniel 7:27
And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, SHALL BE GIVEN to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and ALL DOMINIONS shall serve and obey him.
Daniel 6:26
I make a decree, That in every DOMINION of my KINGDOM- men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and HIS KINGDOM that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
John 18:36
Jesus answered, MY KINGDOM is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
***** Luke 17:21*****
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU.
Luke 21:10
Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
[mishael: every nation on earth is called, a kingdom. But none is called THE kingdom.
Gods kingdom exists in heaven and within every born again believer in Jesus Christ.
JOHN 3:3, 5. Jesus's own words about the ONE KINGDOM OF GOD.
Revelation 8, - Revelation 9, - Revelation 10, note there are 7 angels with seven trumpets Revelation 8:2-6, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th angels "sounded" their trumpets in Rev. 8, Revelation 8:7,8,10,12, & warns of the final 3. Revelation 8:13, "And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitants of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound"
The 5th & 6th angels sound in Rev. 9, Revelation 9:1,13, It's not until Revelation 10, the 7th will sound Revelation 10:7,
1Corinthians 15:52, Jeremiah 4:13, Daniel 7:13, Zephaniah 1, Zephaniah 1:15,16, Amos 5:18-20, Matthew 24:3-51, Mark 13:4-37, Revelation 1:7, Mark 14:60-62, Matthew 26:62-64, Revelation 10:1-7, Revelation 14,
vs 1 The angel with his right foot on the sea, and left foot on the earth is Jesus (mirroring the 2 beasts in Revelation 13, rising from sea & earth).
vs 5-6 are paradoxical because Jesus says all creation comes from God, where we Christian's are sworn to saying that Jesus created all, John 10:30
Revelation 10:5-6 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:
vs 7 We are reminded that God has plans to end this age at the 7th trumpet.
vs 8 Jesus gives the prophet the little book, the Word of God (Bible).
vs 9-10 Since it's sweet in his mouth, then bitter in his belly, it must be before the 6th trumpet, day of the Lord, when life drastically changes.
Revelation 10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
vs 11 These aren't saints, but 1 person. This must be describing Elijah's appearance before the day of the Lord. Elijah is to preach the word of God, salvation, on the backdrop before it comes, Malachi 4:5
Oooh I didn't know a lot of that , thankyou for the info . I did know that NATO had been warned time and time again that if they kept trying to expand in that area , that Putin would see that as very provocative and he would eventually loose patience . You are right about all the propaganda , we have enormous access to info now with the internet but we don't know anything anymore because there are so many lies being spouted by everyone . There's only one source of info that we can trust and that's God . Everything we need to know is in the Bible and if we are for Him then He is for us and we don't have too much to worry about . It's hard not to be affected by the awful scary things going on but we must stay strong in our faith and trust God implicitly , our God is The God and He is in charge .
Be careful of the propaganda. The media lies per strategy, they are part of the problem. For starters in Ukraine, are you aware the US backed a $5 billion coup in early 2014? Then the US state dept, and Victoria Nuland installed Katzenburg as president. Katz started bombing Russian speaking, Donbass residents, and was the reason for Russia taking Crimea in referendum (after the coup). Russia invaded Ukraine to remove the Nazi's, to remove their US funded bio-labs, and to STOP the bloody 8 year war the Nazi Ukraine govt runs against the Russian speaking Donbass region. The biggest slap to Russia is the encroachment of NATO on Russian boarders, five times. Why didn't the US grant Russia security guarantees? Because the US MIC needs a war with Russia to get rich.
The US wanted this conflict, they picked Russia as their enemy long ago. The Russian's are being delicate in Ukraine, moving at their own pace, not the TV's. They didn't do what the US would have done upon entering: cut power, cut internet, cut supply lines, and kill everyone in sight.
If you ask me, it's the US that's always the troublemaker, who breaks treaties, treacherously spoils nations. Then denies it all, like Mystery Babylon does in the land of confusion. How bad can Putin be for doing what God told him to do: destroy Babylon. The anti-christ is a rock star politician, and undoubtedly, there's nobody like him. Putin is a hero for saving the world from America, and giving them every opportunity to play fair, but America would rather risk the abomination of desolation, to rule the world from Jerusalem.
I think so too Roman , but it's always good to admit to ourselves that we could be wrong . I've just read that Putin is threatening to cut off the gas that he supplies to a lot of European countries , tomorrow . The European press is saying that he's being missinformed by his military but I think the west is softening us up to make him sound not so bad , so that they can agree terms with him . No , he's not really a bad guy with the largest proliferation of nuclear weapons , he's being mislead , we need his gas , let's make peace . Time will tell . Let's not be too scared though , Christ is coming .
The Lord shall shout ,the 7 trumpets shall be heard across the nations. The moon shall no longer give light, for He shall lighten all nations, all the world! Then shall they glorify His power as they see his light, as it shines out of the west. They shall say confess that Zion and its gates shall not be prevailed against, for He has brought Her out of trouble. He has gone forward and bares not the sword in vain! These who will die will die in the sin and blood that He alone shall execute, leaving only the stain of the winepress that He alone shall trod. The stain He alone shall we see as His tunic shall be! Wake up all people of Zion the daughter of His only beloved ! Your redemption has arrived! Repent and be Baptized
Identifying the beast, the anti-christ of Daniel and Revelation as Russia:
-In 1991 the USSR suffered a "deadly wound", which has healed into the Russian Federation, that the people will marvel at, Revelation 13:3
-Russia is the little horn, rising up after the USSR received a deadly wound, emerging as the Russian Federation, Daniel 7:8
-"Even he is the 8th and is of the 7". Russia was the 8th G8 member and is of the G7. & Russia, being the 8th member, leads a confederacy of 7 nations (from 10), Revelation 17:20
-His look is "more stout than his fellows". Russia has 11 time zones, Daniel 7:20
-He becomes strong with a small people. Russia's population has been stuck at 144 million for decades, Daniel 11:23
-Even though God has always held back Gog (Russia), He will now bring him forth, with his northern army to destroy Israel, whole. Ezekiel 38:4
God is Wonderful to those who Seek - In Reply on John 5 - 2 years ago
In a reference Bible there are some explanation to that passage. I'll list them:
Isaiah 41:4, 6
Daniel 7:13, 10:5, 7:9
Daniel 2:18
Revelation 19:12-16
Alpha- beginning
Omega- end
I didn't see it for a long time, but one day I was reading Genesis 1:1 in Hebrew. It said, "In Beginning".
My brain exploded.
First Day, God created TIME for earth. God exists outside of time and inside of time. That is how He sees us "alpha" and "omega". He knows who will and who will not receive the Salvation He has prepared for us.
PRAYER can change things or how we can accept things. The woman who tithed the widows mite, impressed Jesus.
All of our days are recorded in a Book. Which means unborn children are known by God. He called prophets from the womb.
Time is for weather, seasons, plant, harvest, animals mate, give birth; eggs to be hatched. It's huge just thinking about all the things that depend on time.
Time is the one thing scientists couldn't find formulas of its origins. They have carbon dating, bigger space projects. No one is going to publish a Formula for Time.
Genesis isn't the only place in the Bible where it speaks of Gods creation. They don't want to give God credit for it.
"They" thought we'd understand it better if they added THE: in the beginning. Other stuff-God doesn't step in and stop car wrecks. But if we pray, we'll survive with just a little damage. He honors our free will.
I think alpha and Omaha are Greek words.
God has spread gold nuggets of revelation all through the Bible. Just laying there. If we read too fast, we will race past it.
I was reading Ezekiel 37 about the bones. I know it's Israel. (I had dry bones in my life). I skimmed past where God says prophesy UPON these bones.
The Holy Spirit tells me to prophesy. I said aloud the scriptures. Then he said, you can prophesy over YOUR dry bones!
I'm scared to say THUS saith THE LORD. I cower while I'm thinking of dead things in my life.
The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born ( Matthew 26:24).
It Is A Messianic Designation
The title "Son of Man" was a designation for the Messiah. The Book of Daniel predicted that the Son of Man would inherit God's everlasting kingdom.
And behold, one like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him. Then to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed ( Daniel 7:13,14).
Jesus Employed The Designation At His Trial
When Jesus was on trial and was asked if He were the Messiah, He referred to this prediction:
It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming on the clouds of heaven ( Matthew 26:64).
This statement infuriated the religious rulers. They accused Him of blasphemy for claiming equal authority with God. It was clear to them that Jesus referred to Daniel's prophecy and hence was claiming to be the Messiah.
The Title Emphasizes That He Was Human
It seems by using the title "Son of Man" Jesus wanted to convey the truth that He was entirely human.
Nebuchadnezzar fulfilled Isaiah 17 in Assyria, 616 BC. No mater how hard the US and ISIS tried, they couldn't topple Syria. It was the little horn, Daniel 7:8 Russia, that saved Syria from America.
The unwalled villages are the 3 nations anti-christ plucks after his "evil thought", Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish.
Israel gets land expansion when Christ comes, not before. Look up the "greater Israel project" to see that Israel used the US to carve a buffer zone between Israel and its enemies. Nothing good is coming Israel's way for a long time. Israel will soon have their hands full with captivity, again Joel 3:1
Daniel 12:1 is talking about the day of the Lord, the 6th trumpet strike, the fall of Babylon, the abomination of desolation, the great tribulation. The world will turn into a curse.
Ezekiel 38 talks of two clouds to cover the land. Ezekiel 21:19-20 talks about attacking 2 nations from one land. These two lands represent America and Israel, both houses of Israel, Gods people.
Ezekiel 21 has several depictions of Israel, "my people" vs 12 as being the subject of the slaughter.
The attack is against America, Israel and every nation allied with America. Isaiah 24:20 states the earth will be hit so hard that it will be knocked of its axis, the sun and moon will refuse to shine 1/3rd the day as a result.
Who will stop Russia besides nobody, Rev 13:3; they have God on their side. Isaiah 13:1-6, they come from a far country, "even the Lord with them". Joel 2:11, the Lord uttered His voice before "His army". God is preparing the sixth trumpet army (Russia) to annihilate the fifth trumpet army (US) to dust, Revelation 9.
Nothing like reading about it in real time, just as the little horn Daniel 7:8 starts to make his move.
Day of the Lord: Isaiah 13, Isaiah 21:1-9, Isaiah 24, Isaiah 47, Ezekiel 21:1-24, Ezekiel 38:1-17, Jeremiah 50 & 51, Joel 2:1-11, Revelation 18 & Luke 21:20-24 (Israel's fall in same hour).
I also observe Sabbath on Saturdays. Luke 4:16 as provided in one of your replies is also advising when the Lord's Day is. As for those who worship on Sundays, I feel they had been lead to believe a false belief that Sunday is the Lords Day. I have come by this false belief through bible study and reading the Lords Word KJV as well as other material. National Sunday Law by A Jan Marcussen is a read many people of FAITH should take the time to read. It will explain "Who, How and When" the Sabbath was changed to a Sunday. It is not a secret and you are able to refer to what is written to the Lords Word and writings/ Bibliography. it is a constitution from Emperor Constantine who introduced Sunday Worship as Law in 321 A.D, is the earliest recognition of Sunday as a legal duty. Here are a couple of the references you can go to. The Latin original is in the Codes Justinian (Codes of Justinian), lib 3, title 12, lex. 3, Philip Schaff's, History of the Christian Church, Vol 3 3d period, chapter 7, sec 75 pg 380, footnote 1. The last days is near and there are so many Christians who have been mislead and given false scriptures and teachings that it breaks my heart and also our Lord Jesus Christ.
Daniel 7:25
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Ezekiel 20:12,
Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.
Ezekiel 20:16
Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
In regards to 10 Commandments as put by Bro dan, I also have Gods 10 Commandments from my KJV and they differ quite significantly. I do know from Scripture Daniel 7:25- And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
The Catholic Church system has changed Gods Law by excluding Gods 2nd Commandment, changing the 4th Commandment (Worshipping on Sunday) and cutting the 10th Commandment into two.
Here are Gods 10 Commandments from my KJV.
Exodus
And God spake all these words, saying,
1 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
3 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
4 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
6 Thou shalt not kill.
7 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8 Thou shalt not steal.
9 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
10 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
As a Christ follower why would you NOT want to try keep holy and follow these commandments?
To disregard, you are telling Jesus that you don't love Him. John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, SHALL BE GIVEN to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and ALL DOMINIONS shall serve and obey him.
Daniel 6:26
I make a decree, That in every DOMINION of my KINGDOM- men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and HIS KINGDOM that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
John 18:36
Jesus answered, MY KINGDOM is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU.

Now I guess you got to read it.....
Is that you Elijah?
vs 1 The angel with his right foot on the sea, and left foot on the earth is Jesus (mirroring the 2 beasts in Revelation 13, rising from sea & earth).
vs 5-6 are paradoxical because Jesus says all creation comes from God, where we Christian's are sworn to saying that Jesus created all, John 10:30
Revelation 10:5-6 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:
vs 7 We are reminded that God has plans to end this age at the 7th trumpet.
vs 8 Jesus gives the prophet the little book, the Word of God (Bible).
vs 9-10 Since it's sweet in his mouth, then bitter in his belly, it must be before the 6th trumpet, day of the Lord, when life drastically changes.
Revelation 10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
vs 11 These aren't saints, but 1 person. This must be describing Elijah's appearance before the day of the Lord. Elijah is to preach the word of God, salvation, on the backdrop before it comes, Malachi 4:5
Be careful of the propaganda. The media lies per strategy, they are part of the problem. For starters in Ukraine, are you aware the US backed a $5 billion coup in early 2014? Then the US state dept, and Victoria Nuland installed Katzenburg as president. Katz started bombing Russian speaking, Donbass residents, and was the reason for Russia taking Crimea in referendum (after the coup). Russia invaded Ukraine to remove the Nazi's, to remove their US funded bio-labs, and to STOP the bloody 8 year war the Nazi Ukraine govt runs against the Russian speaking Donbass region. The biggest slap to Russia is the encroachment of NATO on Russian boarders, five times. Why didn't the US grant Russia security guarantees? Because the US MIC needs a war with Russia to get rich.
The US wanted this conflict, they picked Russia as their enemy long ago. The Russian's are being delicate in Ukraine, moving at their own pace, not the TV's. They didn't do what the US would have done upon entering: cut power, cut internet, cut supply lines, and kill everyone in sight.
If you ask me, it's the US that's always the troublemaker, who breaks treaties, treacherously spoils nations. Then denies it all, like Mystery Babylon does in the land of confusion. How bad can Putin be for doing what God told him to do: destroy Babylon. The anti-christ is a rock star politician, and undoubtedly, there's nobody like him. Putin is a hero for saving the world from America, and giving them every opportunity to play fair, but America would rather risk the abomination of desolation, to rule the world from Jerusalem.
-In 1991 the USSR suffered a "deadly wound", which has healed into the Russian Federation, that the people will marvel at, Revelation 13:3
-Russia is the little horn, rising up after the USSR received a deadly wound, emerging as the Russian Federation, Daniel 7:8
-"Even he is the 8th and is of the 7". Russia was the 8th G8 member and is of the G7. & Russia, being the 8th member, leads a confederacy of 7 nations (from 10), Revelation 17:20
-His look is "more stout than his fellows". Russia has 11 time zones, Daniel 7:20
-He becomes strong with a small people. Russia's population has been stuck at 144 million for decades, Daniel 11:23
-Even though God has always held back Gog (Russia), He will now bring him forth, with his northern army to destroy Israel, whole. Ezekiel 38:4
Isaiah 41:4, 6
Daniel 7:13, 10:5, 7:9
Daniel 2:18
Revelation 19:12-16
Alpha- beginning
Omega- end
I didn't see it for a long time, but one day I was reading Genesis 1:1 in Hebrew. It said, "In Beginning".
My brain exploded.
First Day, God created TIME for earth. God exists outside of time and inside of time. That is how He sees us "alpha" and "omega". He knows who will and who will not receive the Salvation He has prepared for us.
PRAYER can change things or how we can accept things. The woman who tithed the widows mite, impressed Jesus.
All of our days are recorded in a Book. Which means unborn children are known by God. He called prophets from the womb.
Time is for weather, seasons, plant, harvest, animals mate, give birth; eggs to be hatched. It's huge just thinking about all the things that depend on time.
Time is the one thing scientists couldn't find formulas of its origins. They have carbon dating, bigger space projects. No one is going to publish a Formula for Time.
Genesis isn't the only place in the Bible where it speaks of Gods creation. They don't want to give God credit for it.
"They" thought we'd understand it better if they added THE: in the beginning. Other stuff-God doesn't step in and stop car wrecks. But if we pray, we'll survive with just a little damage. He honors our free will.
I think alpha and Omaha are Greek words.
God has spread gold nuggets of revelation all through the Bible. Just laying there. If we read too fast, we will race past it.
I was reading Ezekiel 37 about the bones. I know it's Israel. (I had dry bones in my life). I skimmed past where God says prophesy UPON these bones.
The Holy Spirit tells me to prophesy. I said aloud the scriptures. Then he said, you can prophesy over YOUR dry bones!
I'm scared to say THUS saith THE LORD. I cower while I'm thinking of dead things in my life.

Why the son of man?
Part 2 of 3.
Jesus said.
The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born ( Matthew 26:24).
It Is A Messianic Designation
The title "Son of Man" was a designation for the Messiah. The Book of Daniel predicted that the Son of Man would inherit God's everlasting kingdom.
And behold, one like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him. Then to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed ( Daniel 7:13,14).
Jesus Employed The Designation At His Trial
When Jesus was on trial and was asked if He were the Messiah, He referred to this prediction:
It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming on the clouds of heaven ( Matthew 26:64).
This statement infuriated the religious rulers. They accused Him of blasphemy for claiming equal authority with God. It was clear to them that Jesus referred to Daniel's prophecy and hence was claiming to be the Messiah.
The Title Emphasizes That He Was Human
It seems by using the title "Son of Man" Jesus wanted to convey the truth that He was entirely human.
see part 3 of 3.
Nebuchadnezzar fulfilled Isaiah 17 in Assyria, 616 BC. No mater how hard the US and ISIS tried, they couldn't topple Syria. It was the little horn, Daniel 7:8 Russia, that saved Syria from America.
The unwalled villages are the 3 nations anti-christ plucks after his "evil thought", Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish.
Israel gets land expansion when Christ comes, not before. Look up the "greater Israel project" to see that Israel used the US to carve a buffer zone between Israel and its enemies. Nothing good is coming Israel's way for a long time. Israel will soon have their hands full with captivity, again Joel 3:1
Daniel 12:1 is talking about the day of the Lord, the 6th trumpet strike, the fall of Babylon, the abomination of desolation, the great tribulation. The world will turn into a curse.
Ezekiel 38 talks of two clouds to cover the land. Ezekiel 21:19-20 talks about attacking 2 nations from one land. These two lands represent America and Israel, both houses of Israel, Gods people.
Ezekiel 21 has several depictions of Israel, "my people" vs 12 as being the subject of the slaughter.
The attack is against America, Israel and every nation allied with America. Isaiah 24:20 states the earth will be hit so hard that it will be knocked of its axis, the sun and moon will refuse to shine 1/3rd the day as a result.
Who will stop Russia besides nobody, Rev 13:3; they have God on their side. Isaiah 13:1-6, they come from a far country, "even the Lord with them". Joel 2:11, the Lord uttered His voice before "His army". God is preparing the sixth trumpet army (Russia) to annihilate the fifth trumpet army (US) to dust, Revelation 9.
Nothing like reading about it in real time, just as the little horn Daniel 7:8 starts to make his move.
Day of the Lord: Isaiah 13, Isaiah 21:1-9, Isaiah 24, Isaiah 47, Ezekiel 21:1-24, Ezekiel 38:1-17, Jeremiah 50 & 51, Joel 2:1-11, Revelation 18 & Luke 21:20-24 (Israel's fall in same hour).
I also observe Sabbath on Saturdays. Luke 4:16 as provided in one of your replies is also advising when the Lord's Day is. As for those who worship on Sundays, I feel they had been lead to believe a false belief that Sunday is the Lords Day. I have come by this false belief through bible study and reading the Lords Word KJV as well as other material. National Sunday Law by A Jan Marcussen is a read many people of FAITH should take the time to read. It will explain "Who, How and When" the Sabbath was changed to a Sunday. It is not a secret and you are able to refer to what is written to the Lords Word and writings/ Bibliography. it is a constitution from Emperor Constantine who introduced Sunday Worship as Law in 321 A.D, is the earliest recognition of Sunday as a legal duty. Here are a couple of the references you can go to. The Latin original is in the Codes Justinian (Codes of Justinian), lib 3, title 12, lex. 3, Philip Schaff's, History of the Christian Church, Vol 3 3d period, chapter 7, sec 75 pg 380, footnote 1. The last days is near and there are so many Christians who have been mislead and given false scriptures and teachings that it breaks my heart and also our Lord Jesus Christ.
Daniel 7:25
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Ezekiel 20:12,
Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.
Ezekiel 20:16
Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
Happy Sabbath
The Catholic Church system has changed Gods Law by excluding Gods 2nd Commandment, changing the 4th Commandment (Worshipping on Sunday) and cutting the 10th Commandment into two.
Here are Gods 10 Commandments from my KJV.
Exodus
And God spake all these words, saying,
1 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
3 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
4 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
6 Thou shalt not kill.
7 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8 Thou shalt not steal.
9 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
10 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
As a Christ follower why would you NOT want to try keep holy and follow these commandments?
To disregard, you are telling Jesus that you don't love Him. John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."
