Edge of Eternity

[benny balerio]

It seems that when we do the math,..we begin to realize that we are on the edge of eternity.
I strongly sense that we will be going home to be with the Lord extremely soon.
There are some things that I would like to point out.
When we read the book of Daniel 9;24.......we see the words..."Your people"(referring to Daniels people the Jewish race.)
In the meantime,..the Lord is gathering a people from among the gentile nations.
But when the "Fullness of the Gentiles" has come in,...we know that the Lord will come to take His Bride home.
Then afterward,....we know that Russia and the outter Islamic nations will attempt to attack Israel, and that the Lord will destroy the invading armies.
But take notice,...that in Ezekiel 38;14...it states:
"Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety, will you not take notice of it?"
What I want to point out here are the words...."My People"
We know that after the rapture, that the Lord will turn His attention back to His People(The Jewish race).

But when we read 1 Thessalonians 5;3...we observe the following:
What stands out are the words..."They"......"Them"...and...."They"
It is as though this indicates the Bride was not around when these words were proclaimed by the world.
I believe that the beginning era of when the world and Israel will carelessly believe that they are now at peace,is when the following prophecies come to pass.
The thing about this though, is that there is strong indiction that it may very well come to pass before this year has expired.read the following link:

In the Isaiah 17;1/Psalms 83 prophecy,..I believe that Israel will obtain the land that God had promised abraham.
The following are those involved in the Psalms 83 war,...and keep in mind that these have confederated together.
The tribes mentioned in Psalms 83 are the inner ring of Islamic nations that are today, preparing to attack Israel.
These nations are not involved in the Ezekial 38 battle.
Tents of Edom-Palestinians and So.Jordanians
Ishmaelites-Saudis(Ishmael father of arabs)
Moab-Palestinans and central Jordanians
Hagrites-Hagnarenes-Egyptians
Gebal-Hezbollah and No. Lebanese
Ammon-Palestinans and No.Jordanian
Amalek-Arabs of the Sinai area
Philistia-Hamas of the Gaza Strip
Tyre-Hezbollah and So. Lebanese
Assyria-Syrians and Northern Iraq's
I believe that Damascus Syria will be destroyed the same time as when Psalms 83 occurs.
Israel has a Motto towards their enemies...."NEVER AGAIN!!!"
It just so happens that these nations make up the land that is promised to Abrahams descendants,...this will consist of a small slice of Egypt,....All of Lebanon,...all of Syria.....Northern Iraq..... 1/3rd of Saudi Arabia....and all of Jordan(This explains the flight to petra and the mountainous region, when Israel flees in the A.O.D.)
(The Daniel 11 prophecy has it that Edom, Moab and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand,while on the other hand we see that Edom, Moab and Ammon are involved in the fight against Israel,rather than being delivered by his hand.)

Again as we can see,..the 10 leaders of Daniel 7 are now present,and Hal Lindsey agrees with this in the following link:
08-05-2011 http://www.hallindsey.com/videos/ (He talks about it in the second half of his program)
It seems that these ten are officially here on the world scene and we know that these ten will eventually give their power and authority over unto the beast.

OK,...with all this mentioned,...the following is what I am trying to point out.
In Psalms 83;3,....we read the following:
3With cunning they conspire against your people;they plot against those you cherish.

There it is again!........"Your People"
There is a strong possibilty that we the Bride,..may be going home extremely soon,..I believe that we are on the edge of eternity.

I have felt the same sense of urgency for the last five years. It is my soul's desire to live to be part of the catching up of the bride. Since I was saved over thirty years ago, I have always believed that the rapture would happen in my lifetime, but lately it seems so many things are falling into place- I feel as though I can almost taste eternity, many true believers everywhere share that same urgency that the day may dawn very soon indeed. I sure hope so!

Thank you Benny... Just Very Uplifting!
I Really have believed we would be gone by October 1.... I just do..
In truth I believed Pentecost was the time I thought and yep WRONG... LOL .. And I am not 100% sure of Rosh Hashanah, but I,ll take it Whenever it happens ofcourse...

Hi Benny,

I like your "Edge of Eternity" phrase... in fact, absolutely love it!

Indeed, eternity is almost palpable...

Blessings,

I believe that if you have not taken care of any loose ends in your witness to others,...then I think that you should do so now. Of late,..I have been getting a lot of confirmation that we are caught up just slightly prior to this war breaking out.
Some do not realize the political and geo dynamics of this war. It's very soon going to be a whole different ball game in the middle east. While the world is suffering economicly,....Israel will be at the height of it's economic wealth....that more so than the time of Solomon(Ezekiel 36;11)And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Genesis 15;18On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, “To your descendants I give this land, from the riverd of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates— 19the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, 20Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, 21Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites.
When this war comes to pass,...Israel will obtain a small slice of egypt, all of Jordan(remember we believe that the Jews will flee to Petra, and that the Lord returns and fights at Bozrah).Zechariah 13:8 says that the Antichrist will kill two-thirds Israeli Jews in the Tribulation period. Most of the final third flees to Edom, modern day Southern Jordan.
It is this coming war that results in Israel dwelling carelessly in peace because she had destroyed all her enemies that touch her borders today.This dwelling carelessly is a requirement before Ezekiel 38 can come to pass.
Even though Russia recently stated that an attack on Iran is an attack on them,...I believe that once the rapture occurs, america will be in disarray and Israel will attack Iran.Russia would most likely rethink it's position if Israel uses tactical nukes on Damascus syria,...So obviously Israel obtains Syria, and also obtains all of Lebanon,Northern Iraq and 1/3rd of Saudi arabia..God Bless you all.

I think you might be right Benny! Pentecost rapture, perhaps? I hear many interviews where April and May are thrown around as possible dates for the upcoming hostilities. That would fit in quite well. And just today I heard Sunday's sermon from Steve Hadley at Harvest Family Fellowship and he reiterated that Israel's vastly increased wealth (I'm thinking the oil) from the acquisition of Lebanon will certainly cause Russia to think hard about taking it over. I don't think they'd need longer than the summer to make a plan. We'll see? Seems like the timing is right, though.

[mrgravyard49]

Some Strong Very Strong Advice... DONT get thinking of a date for the rapture.. I have been hooked on Pentecost, trumpets and everything else.. Its Very Depressing when it doesnt happen... DONT DO IT!!!!!!
It will happen when it happens...

I am only going to say that I believe that we should get our house in order now,as soon as possible.
Mrgravyard is correct,...do not set a date, because it is not all about a day or hour...but is about one person being the last one that comes to Jesus as Lord and Savior that only the Lord know's whom will complete the "Fullness of the Gentiles"
When that happens, then the church age will be over.

It certainly does seem that the world is on the precipice of something big happening. This whole Arab spring thing has an air of the supernatural about it, the financial state of the world, Syria, Iran, Egypt, the controversy that surrounds Obama, China and Russia united with Iran, Israel literally surrounded by enemies, and their allies are dropping like flies. All the apocalyptic language being used by the media and by politicians. It does appear that we are on the brink of eternity.

When you say get your affairs in order, I guess I would rather say- this is the time to be getting our Lord's affairs in order, we need to further our efforts to testify of His truth and His salvation to those He has entrusted to our care. To love others with His love and share the gospel.

I pray for boldness in our witness, I pray that Jesus will shine all the more through those who are called by His name, as the days grow darker, and the love of many grows cold- fire up your lamps, gather your fuel, be alert, be ready, be doing His will!

This is exactly what I believe. I also believe that the Mayan Calendar date 21 Dec 2012 has some significance and the whole world will really look like it is going to end. If the war really starts in spring then I think it will not be that short and will last beyond the Mayan date. But I do think the war will be short (but very intense) and therefore, the war will probably start in fall rather than spring (Too many are predicting spring... Israel has a tendency to spring surprises) and then last beyond the Mayan date. When all the upheaval ends, probably sometime in 2013, people will say Peace and Safety.

One thing I would like to mention..."Sudden destruction does not necessarily mean that immediately or soon after the end of the war or turmoil... I personally think that there may be 2-3 years of "Peace and Safety" before the 7 years starts so that everyone is caught unawares...

Whatever it is, we are really on the Edge of Eternity.

One of the problems with the "Date mindset" is that we forget we are to be ready to meet the Lord at any moment.

Because for us individually, it really could happen within the next millisecond.
Within the blink of an eye, my heart could stop and

Thanks for the reminder

Daffodyllady, I remember you are doing a nursing training or something like that. I guess you would understand the reality of this more than most would...

[benny balerio]

The information that I have given is not about a date mindset.
1 Thessalonians 5;4 is basicly revealing that "WE" the Bride will not know a day or an hour,...but that "WE" the Bride will know and recognize a general time era.
We do have scriptures that do reveal what the sign posts are,...enough that we can understand enough that that day would not come upon us unawares.That is why we are told to watch and be sober.
I am not by myself and there are others who do understand that we are entering the pinnacle of this general time era.
Yes, we are to be ready at all times, and the Lord can come at any moment.
Again ,....If you have any loose ends in your witness such as relatives.....and people you once had witnessed too long ago and would like to do a followup,..do not put off tomorrow what you can do today.Forget about what they may think of you, or what they may say about you.
