Question for DoU
You say that you are fleeing to Isreal, Jeruselum or what have you and I asked you "WHAT ARE THE REST OF THE CHRISTIANS GONNA DO? ALL OF THEM DONT HAVE THE MEANS TO MAKE IT OVER THERE?"
You said "GOD WILL PROVIDE A WAY FOR HIS PEOPLE".
Yes, I agree with out, if God promises you ANYTHING it will come to pass.
but let me ask you this.
If we are to flee to this foriegn country why does the scripture tell us.
MATTHEW 24:9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me"
NO DoU THE BOOK OF MATTHEW CLEARLY STATES THE SIGNS OF THE ENDS OF TIME. JUST AS THIS VERSE YOU SHOWED YOU. JESUS SAID THAT WE WILL BE PUT TO DEATH BECAUSE WE FOLLOW HIM
SO REALLY, WHY ARE YOU MOVING TO ANOTHER LAND?.. U SAID IT YOURSELF THAT 'GOD WILL MAKE A WAY" BUT THE BIBLES SAYS THAT WE WILL BE PUT TO DEATH BECAUSE WE WORSHIP JESUS...
YOUR MOVE!
Here is a foundation passage that I would like you to read PuPu.
"but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 33And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 34Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed." Daniel 11:32-35
I never said that believers weren't going to die. The above passage, which is an OT passage about the last days clearly tell us that many believers will die during the time of the end. Revelation expands on the passage above and tells us that it is when the 5th seal is broken, during the last days, that the martyrdom of the saints will happen.
"And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:" Revelation 6:9
The fifth seal won't really kick into gear until the mark of the beast comes though. That mark doesn't come until after "Mystery Babylon" falls though. But like Daniel says they that know their God will be strong and do exploits. They will instruct many people in the last days but they will fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. So people will die. Believers will die. Yes, Jesus said it in the passage you quoted. So I never said that people will not die, especially believers.
The message that I'm delivering is the game plan of God. There will be those who do escape from the wrath that is coming. God always preserves a remnant of people. A remnant will survive all the plagues of the last days, especially if you will be delivered in the wilderness as revelation 12 speaks about. There are many passages of scripture that tell us that there will be a small portion of people who will be spared. So that's all I am pointing out. I may have to give my life for the testimony of Jesus Christ. Only God knows if my life will be required, in order
"to try me, and to purge, and to make me white" or if I will still be alive to meet Him in the air. But until that day comes, I have to work the works that the Lord gave me to do. God says to occupy till He comes. So that's what I am dping. Here are a few passages that tell us that there will be a remnant of believers spared in the last days for your reference.
"20Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. 21For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain." Isaiah 26:20-21
God gives the same invitation,
"COME", at the beginning of verse 20 that He gave to Noah when He entered the arc.
"1And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation." Genesis 8:1
Just like Noah and his family were kept alive during the world-wide flood, so too will a remnant be kept alive until the coming of Jesus Christ. Who that remnant will be? Only God knows. But I will tell you this, only those that are watching and praying will be kept from that hour.
"Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger." Zephaniah 2:3
God will hide those who seek Him, who are righteous, meek, and have done justice during the last days. There will be a remnant. But guess what you have to watch and pray!
"36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." Luke 21:36
Some will be accounted worthy to escape during the last days, but you have to watch and you have to pray all day every day! God will know if you are doing such things because He has set before those who are an open door that no man can shut.
"I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name." Revelation 3:8
That open door will be the door that the church of Philadelphia will pass through. That remnant of believers will be kept from the hour of trial my brother.
"10Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth." Revelation 3:10
I just gave you a few passages that detail that a remnant will be spared. There are MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY more! The Bible is filled with them. Psalm 91 is all about a remnant being saved. Revelation 12 speaks all about it. 1 Thessalonians 4 speaks about those who are alive and that remain will be caught up to meet the Lord at His return. So there will be believers who will make it all the way to the end. Are you kind of getting the picture that I am painting?
