Are you ready for the 1260-day Great Tribulation which may occur in 2013??

THE GREAT COMMISSION: Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, �All authority in heaven and on *EARTH has been given to Me {Not some RC Pope}. Therefore go and make disciples of *ALL NATIONS*...teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING** I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very *END OF THE AGE*!�
THE HARVEST IS THE END OF THE AGE!
Matthew 13:39-43: Jesus says, �The Harvest is the *END OF THE AGE and the harvesters are *ANGELS*. As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the *END OF THE AGE*. The Son of Man will send out His *ANGELS*, and they will weed out of His kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. *THEN the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father!�
I Corinthians 15:22-24: �For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits, then when He comes, those who belong to Him. Then the **END** will come, when He hands over the Kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.� And so when Jesus comes again at the *END OF THE AGE* He will hand over the Kingdom to God the Father!
Mark 13:10 Jesus says, �The *AGE TO COME* is Eternal Life!�I Timothy 6:19: In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the *COMING AGE*, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life!�
THE DISCIPLES ASKED JESUS, �WHAT WILL BE THE SIGN OF YOUR COMING AND THE END OF THE AGE??�
Is it a pre-trib rapture or the persecution and testing of God's saints and a great falling away at the beginning of the Great Tribulation??
� Matthew 24:3,9-13:� The disciples asked Jesus, �What will be the sign of your Coming and the *END OF THE AGE*?? Jesus answered�.. {During the 1260-dayGreat Tribulation} �Then *YOU* will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and *YOU will be hated by all nations because of Me.� At that time many will turn away from the Faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of *MOST* will grow cold,{THE GREAT APOSTASY} but he {The Called, Chosen & Faithful-Rev 17:14b} who stands firm to the *END will be saved. This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to *ALL NATIONS*, and then the *END will come!�
And then we find just before the beginning of the 1260-day Great tribulation that there will be saints saved by the blood of Jesus from *EVERY Tribe, Language and Nation:
Revelation 5:9: �You {Jesus} are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from *EVERY Tribe, Language, People and Nation!�
Just after the coming of the 4 Horsemen in Revelation 6:1-8 and just after the start of the 1260-day Great tribulation; we see this scene in Heaven:
Rev 6:9-11: When He {Jesus) opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain {MARTYRS} because of the Word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, �How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until You judge the inhabitanrts of the earth and avenge our blood?� Then each of them was given a *WHITE ROBE*, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed {Martyrs just like Jesus} as they had been was completed!
Rev 8:9, 13,14: After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count from **EVERY** nation, tribe and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing WHITE ROBES......Then one of the {24- See Rev 4:4,10} elders asked me, �These in WHITE ROBES�who are they and where do they come from?�...And he said, �These are they who come out of the Great Tribulatoion {Tribulation MARTYRS}; they have washed their ROBES and made them WHITE in the blood of the Lamb. At present the God's Word has only been translated into about 2,000 of the 6,000 languages in the world and faith comes by hearing and reading the Word of God! And so this prophecy in Matthew 24:13 above which must take place *BEFORE* the Harvest and 2nd Coming of Jesus will only be fulfilled *DURING the Great Tribulation!
The Heavenly rewards for the faithful and courageous *MARTYRS* is one of the most important central themes in the book of Revelation. For they will reign with Jesus in Heaven and according to Revelation 7:14-17: They are before the Throne of God and God will spread His tent over them before the Second Coming of Jesus. They will receive WHITE ROBES washed in the blood of the Lamb. Never again will they hunger or thirst and God Himself will wipe every tear from their eyes. Jesus will be their Shepherd and will lead them to springs of Living Water.:angel::angel:

"By your responses you are TRYING TO KNOW GOD MENTALLY AND THAT IS WHAT THE BIBLE CALLS BEING CARNALLY MINDED
Your response here is based on reasoning and that is an enemy of faith"
Friend you are sooooooooooooo wrong.
11Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus. John 12:11
even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Heb 5:14
15But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
1 Peter 3:15
18Come now, and let us ((((((((reason)))))) together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Isaiah 1:18
Bro, do you have a computer? If so I would really suggest investing in some bible softwear. Do some word searching prior to making blanket statements. You will spare your self some shame.

Not one of these instances as any thing to do with justfying the use of man's mental faculities to believe with, it is impossible to believe the word of God with the mind.
Who is The New Man?
Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. {true�: or, holiness of truth}
Col 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
The enmity abolished was man without God indweeling him thus man being under the law of sin and death, that man had to fight that law to be governed by his mind.
When man is born again, his mind is not any different than when he was lost, his mind is to be renewed by the word of God by the new man in Christ.

On the contrary, many great men (and women) came to believe through rational thought and reasoning - C.S.Lewis being just one of them. Now intelligence and reasoning alone do not support a relationship, and sooner or later everyone of those men had to take a leap of faith because reason and logic can only take you so far. But they did it because it made sense that Jesus really must have been who He claimed to be.

That's a wild leap from my quoting what C.S. Lewis said in his book 'Mere Christianity' to saying *I* don't believe the bible - I haven't even stated my own opinion yet!
Faith without knowledge creates all sorts of ungodly beliefs and superstitions - David Koresh's followers had faith but not knowledge otherwise they would not have been deceived - and God Himself declared "my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" and "wisdom is better than rubies". Indeed, without reason, I could have faith in the tooth fairy and pink unicorns, exactly as atheists claim we do, because faith gets around every question; but it doesn't make them any more real.
If you do not reason, like the Bereans, you will be led astray by charismatic yet false preachers and pastors. It happens too easily, and too often, because people simply do not read the Word of God, and they swallow whatever their church leaders say without thought or question.
Be careful out there - there's plenty of people using Jesus' Name but for their own ends...

You do not speak of bible faith.
If you do not reason, like the Bereans, you will be led astray by charismatic yet false preachers and pastors. It happens too easily, and too often, because people simply do not read the Word of God, and they swallow whatever their church leaders say without thought or question.
Again you are not speaking of bible faith, yes the bereans searched the scripture to determine truth.
Be careful out there - there's plenty of people using Jesus' Name but for their own ends...
This can be true but it does not change the truth.
