Revelations 22:18
Quote:18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book. 19 And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share of the tree of life and the holy city, which are written about in this book.
Lots of things going on these days that draw me to the book.
I know just coincidences.
When I first heard the "Prophecies" of what was to come.... the persecution of Christians, It was the 1970's. We would discuss that it could NEVER happen in America. There was a church every 2 blocks and Christianity was just about everywhere (yes, even the schools though not officially).
The 1980's were even Bigger.
The last 10 - 15 years or so have been a HUGE eye-opener. I am WATCHING everything come true right before my very eyes.
If we went back to the 1980's and showed them 2023 on Video, they would NEVER believe us. That is how far we have fallen.
But you cannot get anyone to believe if they do not have eyes to see and ears to hear.
Each will make their choice.
Quote:Matthew 13:11
Then the disciples came up and asked him, “Why are you speaking to them in parables?”
11 He answered, “Because the secrets of the kingdom of heaven have been given for you to know, but it has not been given to them. 12
For whoever has, more will be given to him, and he will have more than enough; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 That is why I speak to them in parables, because looking they do not see, and hearing they do not listen or understand. 14 Isaiah’s prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says:
You will listen and listen,
but never understand;
you will look and look,
but never perceive.
15 For this people’s heart has grown callous;
their ears are hard of hearing,
and they have shut their eyes;
otherwise they might see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears, and
understand with their hearts,
and turn back—
and I would heal them.
16 “Blessed are your eyes because they do see, and your ears because they do hear. 1
7 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see the things you see but didn’t see them, to hear the things you hear but didn’t hear them.
