An Eccentric Leader ?

I have talked about the negative influences on the world’s leadership. However, there is going to be some very positive leaders emerging during this period. Let’s begin with a definition of leadership. What are the qualities a good leader? A good leader will respect the peoples he or she is in charge of. In returned, people will follow and obey him. Respect is something that has to be earned. You can’t (unless you’re in the military) dictate it. The leaders that will emerge doing this time will be resourceful and articulate.
They will be able to attract people together with their articulation. Everything that this person has, they have worked for. Nothing was given to them or inherited. They won’t be handsome or beautiful. These individuals don’t really fit into society. But, their eccentric personality will attract many people. Being an eccentric is both a blessing and a curse. It is a blessing because it enables person to construct solutions to problems that the average person can’t perceive. Since, the average person can’t perceive the same thing as the eccentric; they will be misunderstood by a lot of people. This misunderstanding is going to cause the eccentric to be persecuted and mocked by a lot of people. The eccentric is use to this because they have had to deal with the mocking all their lives. Yes, they are going to believe in a higher Divinity. Their faith will protect themselves and the group against the false prophets of Revelations. Their faith is going to open their eyes to the truth. The Holy Spirit is going to guide the eccentrics and their admires because they are among the Meek. They will credit their belief in the Bible for helping them get through pain of being ridicule.
They will lead small groups of people because they will have very limited resources. Resourcefulness is going to be very important during the times of Revelations. Surviving this time will require a careful mixture of the old and new. People taking up the leadership roll will have the ability to figure out how to improve on what is all ready available; instead of creating something new. An example of this, is fixing up an old car instead of buying a new one. Another example is grading or farming using organic methods.
One of the first problems he or she will have to solve is getting food for their people. There are loads of abandon lots in our cities. These lots can be used to feed small groups of people. They would have to be fortified (this can be as simple as putting a fence around it) to keep intruders out. A way around this problem is a roof top garden. Since, it can only be seen from the air, its insentience is known only to a few people. Security is simple; only those with a key can get into the building and up on the roof where the garden is.
Next, there is security for the eccentric and their followers. They are going to have to find a sanctuary. Being unconventional and a bit weird in their thinking, they and their followers might take up residents in abandon building or factories.
Last, the eccentric is going to be an excellent negotiator. They will have to negotiate with the cities or towns on the purchase of the abandon building and on the real-estate taxes charged by the municipalities. They are going to have to also negotiate with the Electric/Gas and Water Companies for their basic services.
Eccentrics will be the one’s who will pull mankind out of the ashes of Revelations and like the Phoenix the World is going to be re-born.

Tree Of Knowledge

Knowledge can be used for good or evil. Mankind got this in the book of Genius; when Adam and Eve ate the apple. The most obvious example I can think of is nuclear technology. It can be used as a clean source of energy and help in the treatment of Cancer patients or it can be used to destroy the World. This tree and its fruit also contain other types of knowledge/gifts such as: the ability to orator and articulate, mathematical and logical reasoning, a written language, curiosity and wisdom. These were all stored in the Tree Of Knowledge. They weren’t just stored in one part of the tree but were every where in the tree; in the roots, trunk, branches, leaves and fruit. So, when Eve took a bite of the apple and told Adam to take a bite the knowledge was passed to them.
What did this tree look like? The Bible only describes it as being in the center of the garden. But, I feel that since it was put there by God with a special propose it must have stood out in some way. It was unlike another tree in that it has a gold vane wrap around it nursing it with God’s knowledge and wisdom. A thick bark protected the Golden vane. The leaves and Apples were not just green and red but a glittering green and a glittering red that sparkled in the sun light. When the bees went to pollinate the flowers they too sparked, the tree made everything dazzling. And, to stand or sit under it, gave Eve and Adam a clam, relax and peaceful feeling. Then the Devil masked as a serpent tempted Eve, if you want this feeling to continue and become even more like God, take a eat an apple. At first she felt euphoria, so she convinces Adam to take a bit, the euphoria didn’t last. When they came down from their “high”, they saw themselves naked; they have gotten and retain the knowledge from the tree but not the peace. So, being bad children they ran away. God feeling the power leave Him looked around to find our why. He didn’t have to look far to see the tree bleeding Golden sap from the spot where Eve had picked the Apple. Being that God can see everything, finding the two sinful humans was no problem. He found them. Before kicking them out of the Garden, he punish woman by making them bear the pain of having children and making man work for a living.
Was the ability to reproduce really a punishment? No, I don’t believe it was because like everything in the Bible it can be look at two ways. The most common way is that it was a punishment. The least common way is that it was necessary in order to continue mankind’s existence here on Earth.
The ability to speak clear, coherent, and eloquent is a gift from God that can be used either to raise mankind up out of the gutter or send him in a nose drive straight down into Hell. It is through our ability to speak that we communicate our most inner thoughts, dreams, wishes, ideas and knowledge to our fellow man. When I was in school, the best teachers I had were able to comminute their knowledge in a clear, coherent and fluent manner. It inspired me to want to learn more and to farther my education. This is true in the work place as well. Having a boss that can articulate instructions is important to the efficacy and success of any business. Without it, leads to boredom and confusion.
However, it can also be used for evil purposes and to drive people away from God. Corrupt leaders have used the gift of oration to start wars, prosecute entire races, and farther their own greed. In the wrong hands, it is a tool that is used to spread hate and fear by miss comminuting the facts.
This is why logical reasoning is so important. It is the only way we can see through deceitfulness. If something doesn’t seem reasonable or safe our logic tells us not to do it. When we see a red traffic light, our logical minds tell us not to cross the street. Yes, it’s common and scents but our minds have to analyze what we are seeing. We are the only animal (plants don’t count here) on this planet that can analyze a situation and either make adjustments to it or run away from it. Other animals don’t analyze, they react to a situation that’s one of the differences Man and animal. I ride horses. And, horses don’t reason they react. I was having a lesson and a family across from the arena was having a birthday party for their kid. There were a bunch of small kids with balloons. Nothing to be afraid of, but the horse I was on didn’t have the ability to reason this out. So, when a little kid came running over holding two big bright balloons with their bight pink coat flapping in the breeze the horse reacted by getting spooked and going from a trough into a cantor because he want to get away from what frighten him. The horse didn’t analyze. He responded instinctively to a change in his surrounding and wanted to get away from a sudden unfamiliar change in his surroundings.
Logical and mathematical reasoning enables us to explore abstract areas. Animals don’t have this ability. This enables us to explore everything from outer space to the atom. It is what enables us to build sky scrapers and luxury cruse ships that resemble floating cities of 5000 inhabitants.
But, like everything else, God has given Man a free choice to use these two gifts for either good or evil. The same technology that can put the International Space Station in orbit can be used to destroy cities with missiles. The same science that produces life saving Antibiotics can be used to produce Anthrax. We have to make a choice everyday when we get up as to what master we are going to follow. Man can not have two Master’s for he will love on and hate the other. For there are 2 roads, one is narrow and rocky and the other is wide and smooth. Too many people chose the wrong road. Perhaps, the most obvious examples of this are the stock brokers and investment bankers. When I was making a more money then I am now, I used to play the stock markets. So, I know from personal experience that it takes a lot of time to evaluate corporate Income Statements and Balance Sheets. Not only do you have to study their finical statement but you have to compare it to other companies in that industry. And, most stock brokers and mutual fund managers are more interest in making a commission rather then researching the companies that they are selling to their clients. They don’t really care if the company goes bust as long as they make a commission on either the buy or sell of stock or mutual funds or commodities. All too often they chose the wide and smooth road. Just like in the Garden of Eden, God is giving us a free will to make choices. It is up to us to make the right one.
In order to pass this on to future generation, God gave us the gift of a written language. This way we can write down our history and hopefully future generations will learn from the mistakes. Language gives us a way to tell our peer’s what experiments have and have not worked. It gives the next group of scientist, statesman, philosophers, business leaders a starting point from where to move forward from. It is the tool that we pass along our culture and traditions. We used it to learn about other people and places.
And, because this is how we learn, it can also be used to spread hatred, create suppressions, spread prejudice or create propaganda. Living in the US we tend to think that our newspapers, internet news and T.V. broadcast are truthful and honest but just go outside of the US and you’ll see the same events from a different prospective. Here, in the US, the only different prospective you’ll get is either from the extreme left or right both of which is tainted with the negative influences I have just described. I know that I may sound a little paranoid when I say the Government is trying to control us and is laying to us. This has been going on for a very long time. I think it started during the 2ed World War.
The Tree also gave us curiosity. Curiosity to wonder about our selves, the world we live in and about our Universe. Inquisitiveness is a good thing. It is how we learn and grow. It nurses our intellect and inspires our creativity. I remember for my 9th Birthday, my Mother got me a microscope that I’ve been wanting. I was so happy with it. Everything that could think of I put under it from bugs that I found in my garden to strains of my own hair. A whole new world open up to me. Details that were too small to see with the naked eye suddenly came into sight. Even the smallest bug was rich in details. The experience left me with a love for science that I will always have with me. It inspired me to do well in school and to want to go to Collage.
Out of all the gifts we get from the Tree of Knowledge, the gift of Wisdom is mankind’s most variable endowment. Wisdom is going to enable us to see through the fog. This fog is going to be caused by the Horseman and False Prophets. It is our only tool that we have to see beyond the trickery, fraud, cheating, and dishonesty. Wisdom is something that can’t be bought or sold. It is passed along from generation to generation from parent to child or from teacher to student. It is something that comes from our hearts. Wisdom is what enables us to see the truth with our eyes and to know the truth with our minds. We can either follow the truth or ignore it. The truth is Jesus Christ. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, the light he that believes in me shell live”.
What does this have to do with surviving Revelations? Simply stated we must use knowledge wisely because if we don’t we will not survive!

A Strong Family Nucleus

Only a strong family nucleus can counter the toxic effects of the false prophets. In the period leading up to and doing Revelations, our family values and relationships will be tested. This is no secret. Children have a responsibility to their parents.

BUT, parents have an obligation and responsibility to teach their children! At no time does this include any type of abuse or harsh forms of discipline. This type of behavior is counter productive and at the very lease will lead to the children resenting and hating their parents when they get older. Parents have the responsibility to teach their children right from wrong and to socialize their children in what is and is not acceptable. As any parent will tell you, this is easier said then done.

There are so many temptations out there. All having one purpose, the temptations are out there to draw children away from God. The temptations promise immediate acceptance, a feeling that the person can only be loved if they join a particular group (and only that group can give them love). The only thing that the group wants is their loyalty. They don’t realize that once they pledge their loyalty; these groups will that away their freedom.

Up until now, I have been talking about children but grown ups and the elderly are equally at risk of falling into this trap. A trap put out there by the Devil and carried out by his soldiers the false prophets. Cults and Gangs don’t only entrap the young; they entrap the old too. Older people join cults for the same reasons young people join gangs, run a way, use drugs/alcohol and steal. Cults promise to make a person feel loved and accept. (This is just another way false prophets acting on the Devil’s behalf commit blasphemy.) To an adult who thinks the world has forgotten about them, this venom is very intoxicating and addicting.

Cults and Gangs take away a person’s freedom. By saying you have to follow one person. God dose not want you to blindly follow any one person. God does not want you to blindly follow Him. God want you to come to Him out of love, respect and trust. Not out of fear! Yet, these groups rule by fear. Even when Man went against God in the Garden of Eden, God didn’t take away a man’s freedom. He just kicked the sinful human out…for a while (more on this in a later Blog). By going back to God, a person gets back their freedom.

How can these traps be avoided? With the old equation: respect=love. Were do we learn this simple yet complicated equation? We learn it in the family nucleus. Energy flows form the equation to the family. Its energy will never be depleted because it comes from God. And to receive it, all we have to do is to open our self’s up to the power and glory of God. It was by God’s design that we learn it in the family nucleus and it is the strongest there. God knows that the devil’s false prophets try to drive a person away from their family with false promises and venom (drugs and alcohol). So, He made the respect=love equation into a machine. And, the machine gives off magnet energy. By Gods design, this energy can and will pull people away from the intoxication and addicting venom of the Devil’s false prophets back into their families and Gods true love. The stronger the family is the stronger the magnet field. Thus, bring lost people back into the safety and love of their families.

I think this is what Christ meant in the way ward son parable (Luke 15:11-32). For a long time I had a “problem” with this parable (Because I didn’t understand it). I through the Father in the story was being very unfair to the good son who stayed home and tended the fields. I was left with the impression that the good son got nothing and the bad son got everything. It seamed to contradict everything that I’ve been told that the Bible said. I couldn’t understand why the Father killed the fattest calf and made a big party for the son who didn’t tend the land or cared enough for his parents to stay home and work their land. The church, that I grown up in always did a very poor job in explaining it. It is only in reading it from the view point that we are living in the times of Revelations and seeing that we need for a strong family nucleus in order to survive Revelation that it is slowly begging to make sense to me.

Run Away From False Prophets

All through the Gospel, Jesus is warning his disciples and followers to be watchful for false Prophets. Jesus warns us in Matthew 24:5, “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and shall deceive many” and again in Matthew 24:11, “And many false prophets shell rise, and shall deceive many”. He says that this will be one of the signs that the end of times is near.

What kind of persons will this be? I they are going to be well educated in scripture. Many will come to hear them speak. They will be gifted orators and very good at articulation. They are going to be the “super stars” at the beginning of the Apocalypse. They are going to be on every talk show in the country (and throughout the World) preaching the gospel. Their pictures along with articles about their preaching will be in every Newspaper and Magazine in the world. Tickets to their crusades will be the newest must have thing around. And, for those of us who have never study scripture or have turned away from God and Christ, we will be deceived. We will be lead into following the false prophets.

How will the false prophets attract the weak? They will twist what is said in the Bible around. At first, the twist will be so slight that it will be hardly notice. Business leaders, heads of state, Priests and the common folks are all going to seek out the false prophet’s advice and counsel. World leaders under pressure from public opinion and other leaders will take these “prophets” into there confidence. Further exposing themselves and compromising their country’s security to the Devils’ power and plans. In the beginning, these prophets will help bring peace to a few trouble areas of the World. The countries will rejoice but this happiness will only last a few years.

Business leaders pride them selves on knowing Pop Culture; on what will sell and what won’t sell. And, these false prophets will sell; everything from dog food to salvation of a person’s sole. A lot of business people have all ready and will continue to sell their soul’s to the devil for profit. Priests are going to be corrupted. They are going to fall under the negative influence. And, what’s going to make it worse is that they are going to help spread it. These foolish priests are not only going to profit from it, but they are going to approve of it. They are going to help these messengers of the Devil spread the venom! But, the false prophet’s biggest group of supporters is the common folks. The young will flock to them because they see him/ her as someone who’s not affraid to go against the establishment. These false prophets are able to go against the establishment and win! Now, that’s rally cool! I’m 47 and I like people who can go up against the establish and win. For example, some one who can talk there way out of a traffic ticket. These false Prophets will be able to get into a fight with the I.R.S. and actually win. These may not be the best examples but for those of us that have gotten a ticket or gotten audited by the I.R.S. know exactly what I am talking about. These false prophets are going to promise a world where everyone is accepted and loved providing we follow their teaching.

Well, the Bible doesn’t say to follow them. It says we all have to follow God’s teaching. See, that is the difference. Little by little, these prophets are going to go from saying/teaching follow Gods teachings and Commandments to follow their teachings. This is why family is so important. People young and old have to have a family nucleus that loves them and that they feel safe in. Only, a strong family nucleus can protect people from the false love of the devil’s prophets.

Will anybody be able to see through this deception? Yes, that’s the good news! God has chosen his people to see through the deception and inherit the Earth. They are only people that will be able to see through this blasphemy are the Meek. The Meek having read the Bible with their minds and open there hearts to God, Christ and the Holy Sprit are going to know how these false prophets are twisting scripture around. But, the Meek will be ignored! Their friends are going to say “you’re over reacting….he’s a gifted religious man….how can you say that what he is speaking is blasphemy?” The Meek are going to receive the Holy Sprit. The Holy Sprit is going to give the Meek a further education in how to protect them selves and their family from false prophets. It is the Holy Sprit that is going to show them how to plan for and be safe during the times of Revelation. Guiding and advising the Meek on where they should live so that nature disaster, wars and civil unrest will affect them the least. It would be foolish to assume that the Holy Sprit would tell them to run and hide in the hills. During the last days, there will be no place to hide. Just as it was in the time of Moses, God will send pluges and famines. These false prophets are going to have power given to them by the devil to stop some of it. And, the people of the World will look to them with amazement. In the end, the power of God will win. God’s army of angles will find the wicked and destroy them. These same angles will find, protect and help the Meek.

The Meek will live through Revelations and survive the finial battle. They will inherit the Earth. Their purpose is going to be to bear wittiness so they can testifity and teach future generations. They will live in harmony with the animals, angles (who’s new orders from God will be to teach), and Man.

Who are the Meek? The Meek is anyone who loves God with his/her whole hart and hears’ God word in their head. You don’t have to have any advance degrees, wealth, or power (political, economical or military). Meek people keep God’s commandments. Nora was just a sheperd. Yet, God gave him the knowledge to build an Ark and save his family from the flood. God chose Nora because he and his family kept Gods commandments. It is going to be like this during the last days. History is going to repeat it’s self.

What We Must Do To Survive Revelations

Since, we are living in the times of Revelations, there is very little we can depend on. We can't depend on government to rescue us or bail us out. During these times government agencies will be so overwhelmed or so dysfunctional that we will be with out even the basics services. The only people we can depend on are our family, friends and neighbors.
We must put aside our differences and work together if we want to survive Revelation. We must put aside our differences in Religion. All religion is good because all religions believe in a God. I'm in the opinion that praying 5 times a day and giving away all your worldly positions are only for monks & nuns. Individuals will have enough problems feeding and clothing themselves and their love one; let along others. The average person won't have time to spend all day in Church, Temple or Mosque. There will be too much to do. Everything will be local meaning that there will be no such thing as a global economy. It will be as though the whole world was send back 100 years. There will be no super markets, large department stores, or chain stores of any kind. Gas will either be so expensive that the average person can't afford it or non existence. This shortage was caused by serve weather & wars. The summers will get hotter and the winters will get colder. Areas where we now have hot tempters like Nevada (Les Vegas) and the American Southwest will have triple digit tempters for longer periods of time. The middle of the country will experience another Dust Bowl but this one will last longer and cover a larger area then the one that happen in the 1930's. The South and Southeast of the U.S. will be battered by Hurricanes. Where will all these people go? To the Northwest, Northeast or North, I don't think so (although many will try). The North will have there own problems to deal with. Starting with bitter cold winters, the high price of heat is going to make many people sick and many of the old and young will not survive the freezing winter. What about farther North or South? Canada is going to be even colder then the Northeastern U.S. South America is going to be under the control of drug Lords and there will be even more chaos in South American then in the U.S. or Canada. Civilization as we know it will start to unravel! Who will feed the people? We must once again learn to feed ourselves! We won't have the convince of getting into our car and going to the supermarket once a week and stocking up on grocery's and candy. We will be depending on each other for our food, clothing and security. In the summer months, we can plan a garden and when harvest time comes; we must share with our neighbors! A bushel of Tomatoes in exchange for a bag of Potatoes. This is what Revelations 6:5-6[1] ”…And lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say; a measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny, and see thou hurt not the oil and wine…” means. Our society is going to depend less and less on a currency economy and more on a barter economy. Instead of spending the night clubbing, drinking and sinning in the City, we are going to have to spend out night fishing for food if we want to survive Revelations. We have to learn to share with thy neighbor. If we catch 4 fish and can only eat 2, then we should give not sell the 2 extra fish to our neighbor. There is going to be enough fish in the seas and oceans for all those who fish because just as Jesus feed the thousand of people. God is going to stock the seas and oceans with enough fish for all those who are hunger. Welfare, Medic-care, Medic-aid and Social Security are all going to be a thing of the past. The government is going to be bankrupt! The dollar is going to get de-valued. So, if a person has $1,000.00 in the bank before the de-valuing of the dollar, he will only have $10.00 in the bank after devolution. All the greedy, corrupt bankers, stock brokers, billionaires, millionaires and politician are going to be jumping out of the windows again because their house was build on sand and not rock. The sinners will be living the parable Jesus told in Matthew 7:24-27; the meek will be watching them. The meek are going to be the witness to the events that will lead up to the final battle because they will be the ones that will inherit the Earth. Halleluiah! They are the ones who will give testimony to future generations. They are the ones who will document and record the events that change the world. Halleluiah! What about their personal security and safety? This shortage of food and gas will cause riots and people will be fighting with there family and friends. Gangs, Organize Crime and Drug Lords will control the resources that are not already under government control. I think this is what’s meant in Revelations 6:4 “… And there went out another horse that was red; and power was give to him that sat there to take peace from the Earth and that they should kill one another; and there was given unto him a great sword…” It is these groups of people that out of necessary we will look toward to for our security and safety.

Canada is going to be even colder then the Northeastern U.S. South America is going to be under the control of drug Lords and there will be even more chaos in South American then in the U.S. or Canada. Civilization as we know it will start to unravel! Who will feed the people? We must once again learn to feed ourselves! We won't have the convince of getting into our car and going to the supermarket once a week and stocking up on grocery's and candy. We will be depending on each other for our food, clothing and security. In the summer months, we can plan a garden and when harvest time comes; we must share with our neighbors! A bushel of Tomatoes in exchange for a bag of Potatoes. This is what Revelations 6:5-6[1] ”…And lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say; a measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny, and see thou hurt not the oil and wine…” means. Our society is going to depend less and less on a currency economy and more on a barter economy. Instead of spending the night clubbing, drinking and sinning in the City, we are going to have to spend out night fishing for food if we want to survive Revelations. We have to learn to share with thy neighbor. If we catch 4 fish and can only eat 2, then we should give not sell the 2 extra fish to our neighbor. There is going to be enough fish in the seas and oceans for all those who fish because just as Jesus feed the thousand of people. God is going to stock the seas and oceans with enough fish for all those who are hunger. Welfare, Medic-care, Medic-aid and Social Security are all going to be a thing of the past. The government is going to be bankrupt! The dollar is going to get de-valued. So, if a person has $1,000.00 in the bank before the de-valuing of the dollar, he will only have $10.00 in the bank after devolution. All the greedy, corrupt bankers, stock brokers, billionaires, millionaires and politician are going to be jumping out of the windows again because their house was build on sand and not rock. The sinners will be living the parable Jesus told in Matthew 7:24-27; the meek will be watching them. The meek are going to be the witness to the events that will lead up to the final battle because they will be the ones that will inherit the Earth. Halleluiah! They are the ones who will give testimony to future generations. They are the ones who will document and record the events that change the world. Halleluiah! What about their personal security and safety? This shortage of food and gas will cause riots and people will be fighting with there family and friends. Gangs, Organize Crime and Drug Lords will control the resources that are not already under government control. I think this is what’s meant in Revelations 6:4 “… And there went out another horse that was red; and power was give to him that sat there to take peace from the Earth and that they should kill one another; and there was given unto him a great sword…” It is these groups of people that out of necessary we will look toward to for our security and safety.
Extremist will have control of the Middle East oil and the military will busy securing our boarders in an afforded to keep invaders & looters from other countries out. As a Nation, our attention will be turned in word to try to solve our own problems. We won't have the time, money or resources to interfere with the peoples of other nations. In Revelations 6:2, a different kind of figure is describe from that which is describe in Revelations 6:4 ” …and I saw, and behold a white horse; and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him; and he went forth conquering, and to conquer…” This passage points to one man (or woman) not a group of people. What kind of individual will this be? I believe that he or she will come from a democratic country and will be elected. This is because any King, Dictator or Fascist would divide the country from the very being. It won't be like a Hitler type of character (now lesson before you tell me to go to hell) because Hitler brought the different segments of the population together to unite against him. People realize that in order to stop the devil they must unite. So, blacks and whites worked together. Christens and Jews united. And, Jews and Muslims united. Family members worked together to provide food, shelter and security for each other. It didn't happen over night but Hitler was defeated. The different segments of the population united against him after he took power and were able to divide his house. In Matthew, is says a house divided against its’ self cannot stand. History has tough was that a corrupt King, Dictator or Fascist house will start to crumble as almost soon as it is put up. What country will he or she come from? It would have to be from a country that has a pretty good military academy. This leaves out Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and South America. It will most likely be someone who has an excellent understanding of military tactics and is very poplar with his people like a very evil Eisenhower. The good news is that this kind of person has not showed up here on Earth yet.
When is this going to happen? The Bible says in Matthew 24:36, “but of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father”.
