The ^ above ^ makes me think that human rule / that MAN can't give want Mankind needs.
MAN's long history shows that MAN has dominated MAN to MAN's hurt, MAN's injury.
The comment about the children's cancer clinic to me seem to imply the common misconception that God is in control.
Jesus...
Yes, Jesus' soon coming Glory Time of separation as found at Matthew 25:31-34,37
Jesus said his God knows when it'll end - Matt. 24:36
As in ancient Egypt, God has an 'appointed time' to end our affliction - Exodus 3:7
See Habakkuk2:3
The vision we can now picture - Isaiah chapter 35 - shows...
The proud man of Habakkuk2:3 belongs to the time of the end, because he's part of the vision.
The "time of the end" (Daniel) relates to "at the end" (Habakkuk).
Many that "run to and fro" (Daniel) relates to "he may run" (Habakkuk).
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book...
Which he said 2,000 years ago... and ever since then, people have been claiming we're in the "last days" since shortly after the first days.
Their 0-for-lifetime streak seems in no danger of being broken.
A lot of creative interpretations here; nothing relevant, I'm afraid. The streak remains...
Yes, social upheaval (Daniel 2:44-45) Jesus proves to be that figurative ' stone ' ushering in God's kingdom government over Earth.
World does stay pretty much the same except we are in it last days of badness on Earth before Jesus takes kingdom action - Isaiah 11:3-4; Rev. 19:14-15
This is a...
Resurrection is restoration of life - John 6:40,44
What happens to humans is Not out of God's control. We are promised a resurrection at Acts 24:15
Sure, some things have Not happened yet, that does Not mean it won't happen
God does have a set date, and we have a date with destiny - Habakkuk...
Yes. That's what makes the Bible so unique, and amazing. It's time tested.
No matter what era, culture, nationality, it works for all time... in every generation.
Interesting...
Do you suppose that's an opinion, based on a bit of bias, perhaps, because I find it interesting that billions of...
Yes, a promise - Habakkuk2:3 - and from that writers stand point even if the promise seems to us that the promise tarries that does Not mean God does Not have His set time.
We may hit the snooze button on an alarm clock but that does Not change the time.
It is MAN with MAN's doom-and-gloom...
The horrible vision in the referenced article is one view. Wikipedia has what for me is a good page discussing the view of various Jewish groups on the question Messiah in Judaism - Wikipedia
There are two sections of that article that stood out for me as I've highlighted below:
Rabbi Menachem...
A number of scriptures come to mind when reading your response. One has to do with our perception of time in comparison to God's and why he has not brought about the end as of yet:
"However, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a...
Luke 12 45-47
But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and...
I agree that the Bible is the word of God and it truly does keep its promises. But the 'delay' was foretold.
“For the vision is yet for its appointed time,
And it is rushing toward its end, and it will not lie.
Even if it should delay, keep in expectation of it!
For it will without fail come...
God doesn't cause the delusion...he just permits people to keep their own deluded thinking when he knows nothing will change their mind. They love the lies.
Do you believe John 6:44 and 65?
"No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him. . . .“This is why I have said to you...
Well, if man is really in the image if God, then it should be easy. Otherweise, apart from looking like a hairless ape, it is not clear what being in the image of god really means.

Acts17: 31; For he has set a day in which he shall judge the whole world with Justice by means of a MAN he has CHOSEN. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising that MAN from death.
ARMAGEDDON is shrouded in mystery and misconceptions. Ideas as to its
meaning abound. The word Armageddon, though, is derived from Har-Magedon, or Mountain of Megiddo.* It is a Bible word found at Revelation 16:16, which states: “And they gathered them together to
the place that is called in...
