Such a beautiful morning here in Northern Virginia, as I peer at the clouds with mixed rising sun, and watch this day come in. And what a glorious reminder from Jimmy this morning that we are close, so close, to being lifted up into those clouds, where the heavenly wine awaits, and the joy of a wedding with friends of the King, begins. Could it be today? It could. The place He prepared for us is almost ready. And our liftoff is coming soon. Leaving this world behind…. 🌻
Amen my sister, I needed to see this, this morning “that we are close, so close....” I received a bad report from my doctor on Friday about my heart issue returning. Looking forward to Jesus’s call to us to take us home where there is no sickness, or hurting, only tremendous love and peace. 🦋
Amen Kris. I also woke up to a beautiful morning here but now the skies are overcast with what looks to be like a storm moving in. Prayers for your beautiful day there in Virginia. Love you my friend.
What I love most.... sharing a glass of wine with you sister in our new, resurrected bodies. You have been a steady rock for all of us here on the TP. Praying for your renewed healing!
It seems now, that every where I turn, every video that shows up in my feed, every email or message that somehow, by a miracle, comes before my eyes, or .. like last night at the Saturday night church service we attend, the conversation among us is about Jesus’ return. Oh what a glorious day it will be!! Hallelujah!! And here in Jimmy’s article, we find yet another feature of what that day will be like .. the drinking of “heaven’s wine”. Wow!! We like good wine, but can you imagine what heaven’s wine will taste like? Ohh dear Lord, heavenly indeed. I wonder what will be on the menu? If heaven’s wine is in our glass, and King Jesus is our groom (our partner for all of eternity) … how magnificent will the wedding supper be? What music will play? Who will be with us, at our tables? Will our Lord offer a wedding message? Will there be a program? Will we be gathered with family, friends, loved ones, or those who have gone in before us? Will there be a wedding cake? Ohh my!!! How glorious will the feast be .. in every way? No more pain?? Glorious bodies, made by God himself. My mind cannot stop racing, as I imagine the details of such a celebration. Pour my heavenly wine soon dear Lord, receive me home to your table Jesus, and may I and my loved ones here, forever sing and shout praises to you, out King, our savior, our wedding partner, our God of all creation. I can almost taste it now Lord … come soon dear Jesus. Come soon!
Hi Samantha, that is so fun!! I found him this morning at Trinity Fellowship Church on YouTube, as well this morning, preaching on Redeemed Bodies!!! I needed that. I suspect many of us do. He will be there for the next 3 weeks as well. Hearts are hungry…. Go Jimmy go! 🌻
Kris. I’m looking forward to my new Redeemed Body! I received a book mark from International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and quote; Isaiah 46:4 NIV. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He , I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. Praise the Lord! I keep it in my daily Bible reading and memorized it. I love Paul’s scripture: even tho our outward bodies are perishing away; yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. Paul had some tired and wearisome days; but he kept the faith and continued on serving the Lord! Thought you would enjoy this verse. Blessings ✝️
I’m sorry in advance for the long post! I consider you family but none of you know me bc sadly I’ve just been a lurker since September 2020! Like so many of you this is one of the few places I can come to for encouragement and community with others that feel the same about where we are in the world. This article was so timely because we were at a wedding yesterday and my spirit was so grieved because God was no where in the ceremony, taken out of everything, no real vows, no preacher, nothing! How can you expect a marriage to survive that way?
I work for a small sweet and dear church but they too are acting like we are just going to be here forever. They do not believe in us believers being raptured. Sometimes I wonder if I should even be working there but we have been without a pastor for a long time and I could not bare the thoughts of leaving them, they are like family.
For years I longed to study end times prophecy but every book I picked up, I could not get a release to read it so I just kept reading the word and then the day I picked up Jimmy Evans book, I could not put it down! I read the entire thing in 2 days and several times again.
I thank you all for the daily encouragement, real news etc. I thank Jimmy Evans and the rest of the TP team as well! I too can not wait to have the heavenly wine in his presence!
Hi Melissa, thanks for sharing part of your story with us! It is nice to hear your voice. It sounds like God has you at that Church to be Light! Tell them what you believe if the Lord prompts you by His Spirit. A little Truth can go a long long way…. It is the Blessed Hope. 🌻
I have been very curious as to some of your opinions (TP Family) of people that are on YouTube daily saying they are hearing prophecies for example Amanda Grace and Julie Green? Many in my extended family listen to them daily and get frustrated that I don’t take all they say to heart but I just don’t get that release that I speak of when praying for wisdom on what I put in my ears and heart.
Last thing I promise! My 14 year old son and I are coming to the conference! He is very enthused about end time events and I was hoping to see who all plans to go in person. We are in SC so he’s excited about seeing TX!
Hi Mel! As soon as I read your post, I felt the same message that Kris has already stated. I believe God has you there for an amazing purpose. I know it can be frustrating at times, especially when you feel you are alone and undergoing persecution as a result of it. I'm convinced that God has you here, and at your little church for a very special reason that you will know soon enough. And I LOVE that you include your son in these things at his age. It reminds me so much of my own son. He is on-fire for it so much that he has no compunction whatsoever about making a stand in the middle of his classmates. Sometimes I have to reign him in to teach him that what he is doing is awesome, but there is a way to communicate it that will draw people to him. You should be very proud!
Loved hearing your words Mel! 🌼 🌸 🌻 Keep sharing! 😊 The wedding you described reminds me of my daughter's wedding 6 years ago at the San Francisco courthouse with just us parents there. Gorgeous architectural building and pictures but it was a completely Godless, sad and empty event. The ceremony was 5 minutes long and you could not even hear the vows. The marriage lasted an entire month. For such a short marriage, it created a huge whirlwind of devastating events but it was needed to give my beloved girl a huge kick in the butte and get her back in God's arms. Some of us seem to need to learn the hard way, I guess. Anyhow....welcome Melissa! 🌹
Mel, so thankful for your share and your voice. It can seem really lonely in the world at times. That is why this group has been so nice. We are hoping to attend this fall in Texas as well, not sure how many of our kids we will be able to bring. God bless and God bless you for your work and compassion in your church.
I promise we won’t go hunting instead ha ha. It is more just finances. Hopefully things will get back closer to normal and I think they will. It would mean a lot to us to be able to come so I think we are going to do everything possible to do that 😊
Ya...plane tickets, hotel, car rental,etc...it all adds up...gulp..and driving could be even more expensive with gas prices....double gulp... and your family just made a big move...alot going on. Things are crazy expensive these days!
You just remember Melissa, you are in God's family. It is a family filled with love and compassion. Welcome to God's family. We love you and I too love end time prophecy books and talk shows. I love to hear what others believe concerning these events that we see daily taking place. You are in the right family. Blessings.
What a beautiful message Pastor! It’s so fitting the way Jesus’s ministry began and how it will end His earthly ministry. I can hardly comprehend the beauty and Majesty of what is to come! My dad had a near death experience years ago. Later he and I had lunch together and I was worried about him going fishing by himself because of is health. He said, I haven’t told anyone about this, but I saw Heaven when I had my last heart attack. He said he had never felt so loved, so comforted..and the beauty was more than he could describe. He said, Sally never be afraid of death… it was the best experience I’ve ever had. That was a gift to me… he died not too long after that. I’ve always held that story close.
Well hallelujah Sally. How comforting that was. I am not afraid of dying but I have wondered what it would be like to know that I have a certain amount of time left here. For here and now is all that we know right now. Just recently, a fellow employee at work just received the news that he has an inoperable brain tumor. They have given him from 3-6 months to live. Not sure what his standing is with the Lord but please be in prayer for him to know who the Lord is and that he needs to be saved if he isn't. I can't imagine the feeling of being told I only had that amount of time left. I would definitely want to get closer to the Lord in my daily walk. I would definitely want others to be saved and know the feeling of a blessing that comes when that sweet Holy Spirit comes. I want as many as possible to go with me to heaven. I want them to know the love of the Lord. Thank you for sharing this beautiful testimony with us.
If you feel God leading you, don’t be afraid to ask your friend if he’s a believer. I had a friend I’d grown up with and had stayed close to him and his wife. He was diagnosed with a rare form of Parkinson’s that was taking him very quickly. When he would call us I always felt a nudge to ask him about his faith. But I would think, I’ll ask next time. He called a week or so before he died and just knew I had to know… I told him I needed to ask if he was a believer. He said yes I am. His family had never gone to church but he was given a book from a golf buddy. He said he read it and knew that he needed to accept Christ. He died two years ago on Christmas Eve. I’m so glad I know he’s in Heaven🙏
Yes I’m so glad he did. I remember he was in tears at the hospital the next morning… he wanted to stay in Heaven. I’m just so glad he told me before he died. His story has blessed a lot of people🙏
Sitting here thinking that 99.9% of my spiritual encouragement comes from a few online sites, this being number one. Every day I speak to others of the love of Jesus and His soon return. 99.9% has little to NO reaction. The spigot of my tears is turned on and I can’t stop it.
Many people tell me they are devastated at the evil taking place in the world and the conversation allows me to interject the Love of Jesus and His Imminent return. Sinners shrug it off...professing Christian tells me that we should not be concentrating on the rapture because “Know one knows the day or the hour”, and it could be thousands of years away.
One lady said she asked her retired pastor and he told her not to be concerned with the Rapture. He told her this world, as we know it, will be for here for a long time. She said things, in this world, goes through cycles.
I don’t understand why it is so easy for me to believe in Jesus Christ and His Word!!! Why do we want to talk about Jesus and others don’t want to hear mention of Him???
Why did I lose my grip on this world??? Why did all my pleasures of this world
cease???
All I can say is, Take this whole world but give me Jesus❣️❣️❣️
Awe Esther...I wish I could give you a hug. Don't you hate that blank stare look? It feels like alot of us are losing our tolerance for living in this world anymore. We're ready to live in our real home.
Haha, yes Jessie - that blank look, that says: groan, here she goes again getting all churchy!! It is actually quite sad because if only they knew what wonder and glory they could have . But what I find hard to understand is when the conversation turns to all the evil and crazy things that are going on today, and I say things like (for eg the impending famine .. or a one-world govt/currency .. etc etc), and I say: "this is all in the Bible and has been for the past 2000 years". It doesn't seem to compute with them. Yet they will believe fake news items or corrupt politicians. I wish it were different. It can be so sad. But I will be forever grateful that I have taken the leap towards becoming a Christian (even at 66 years of age, it's never too late!!) I feel like a big sponge and want to soak up all there is to know about God and the Bible. I could never be without Him in my life now. And you guys, the TP family, are such a blessing. How did I ever survive before?? God Bless you all xxx
Amen Esther, yes take this whole world but give me Jesus.
Remember Paul says in the NT that the rapture won’t be a surprise to us who are saved. It won’t come as a thief in the night for us. This is very reassuring to me.
Great share today. Really love your testimony. Often, I wonder the same thing. How can what seems so simple and obvious be so hard to believe for people? I am so thankful for His truth, His Word, His Righteousness and it filling us. Happy Sunday.
Justin. So true and simple. I watch Billy Graham’s classic messages and He taught God’s Word so easy to understand : The Cross; The Blood of Jesus; and Salvation and The Only True Way to The Father. Paul’s letter to 2nd Corinthians 4:4 says; Whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the Gospel of the Glory of Christ, who is the image of God , should shine on them! So sad 😭! Enjoyed your comment.
Esther. Love you sharing this story. We had an evangelistic teaching class at my Church and the Pastor shared with us the different techniques of how to share the Gospel. We share the Gospel as Christ as commanded and it’s the other person’s decision to respond . Some water; some plant ; and God causes the growth, I’m proud of you for standing firm in your belief. So; shine your light and be salt for Jesus. Yes our hearts hurt for those who hear ; but don’t listen. Blessings.🙏💕✝️
Thank you so much Jimmy for your in depth explanations of the marriage supper of the lamb and the correlations between Christ the bridegroom and the church (the bride). I have always heard the church to be the “bride of Christ”, but never really GOT it. I NEVER knew how to put all this together and it just makes so much more sense now. I have struggled with being a pretribulationist vs post- tribulationist. I grew up believing in a pre trib rapture, but I have listened to some preachers who didn’t believe in it- so it has left me confused and in search for the truth for a long time. This is the most confirming and convincing evidence for a pre trib rapture. Thank you so much!
I'd like to read that, David. I had always thought we'd have to go through the tribulation. After studying it though, pretrib makes more sense. I'm now astounded how many pastors are still pushing the post trib doctrine.
This is so encouraging in these evil days where everywhere we look we see more and more of satan's control. I pray that all of us just keep on keeping on until Jesus comes for us!
Wonderful message this morning! For very good reasons Pastor Jimmy will not declare a specific date. But personally, in view of how rapidly the powers of darkness are multiplying the evil--the lawlessness, corruption, perversion. . . until it's reached the point where it's so sick that no one could have ever imagined it--I'm allowing myself to X-off the next 18 weeks, one-by-one, on my calendar!
Wow! I have never heard it said like this before. That is purely amazing. Thank you Lord for revealing this to your watchmen. There is a song sung by a group called Rarely Herd called "Driving Nails" that describes that day that his mother went searching for Jesus and couldn't find him. I don't know how to give links to songs but it is on you tube. All of you will love it.
How can everyone continue to think and believe that Jesus is going to return and miraculously just save us from this world? People have been saying these things and waiting on the same thing for thousands of years. You talk about how there are signs but there have always been earthquakes, wars, tragedies and signs in every generation. Don’t you folks ever get to the point where you question whether this is all true and if you are wasting your time doing all this instead of living your lives?
No, I don’t get to that point. I used to, but I never, ever get to that point anymore because I’ve learned just how important it is to be extremely selective of those whom I keep company with. I certainly get discouraged sometimes, but I no longer doubt Jesus. I’m not typing this to bring any light to myself whatsoever so I pray that no one reads this that way. I typed it to encourage; not only others but myself as well! We all have those times where we get frustrated at the waiting because we want Jesus to return so much that we can feel it but just like our phones have an app for everything, “There’s a scripture for that.”
~Isaiah 40:29-31
It’s so important for each of us to continue to fellowship at church in-person, in our small groups, and here! It’s through these relationships that we build lifetime connections that are anointed, where we will find that encouragement when the enemy is doing his best to shift our focus from God.
One of my very favorite things about this community and the people here is the encouragement I get just from reading through the comments, and the vulnerability and honesty of folks. It’s that comment where someone tells that they are struggling sometimes that I am blessed the most. Not because I am any kind of authority (because I’m certainly not!), but because it’s those people who aren’t afraid to be honest and tell the truth that reminds me that I am with my people. I want to be around others who struggle and get discouraged sometimes.
Those are my folks. This is my family. You are my people.
Amen Steve. We are also in that generation of scoffers who laugh at us and scoff because we believe that his coming is so nigh. The Bible clearly states that would also be a sign of the end times. It seems very clear to me that we are the generation Jesus spoke of when all of the signs would be prevalent. We are the generation that witnessed the fig tree blooming, the wars and rumors of wars, the pestilence and the disease. We are the generation that have witnessed the growth of technology paving the way for the monetary one-world government, we are the generation that have witnessed not just one of the signs given, but all of those signs. From the book of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Matthew, Luke, Corinthians, Thessalonians, and the awesome book of Revelation... We see the dots connecting and we understand ever so much clearly as we see these events spoken of come to pass in our time. I truly believe that we are that generation of believers who got to witness all of the signs given. Blessings to you my brother. I love to read end time prophecy books and listen to teachers teach about it. And I love my T.P. family!!!!
Geez, Steve....those were wonderful words....Im feeling so honored to get to listen in on everyones thoughts and knowledge here...you guys are my best teachers....feeling incredibly blessed 🙌
Such a beautiful morning here in Northern Virginia, as I peer at the clouds with mixed rising sun, and watch this day come in. And what a glorious reminder from Jimmy this morning that we are close, so close, to being lifted up into those clouds, where the heavenly wine awaits, and the joy of a wedding with friends of the King, begins. Could it be today? It could. The place He prepared for us is almost ready. And our liftoff is coming soon. Leaving this world behind…. 🌻
Amen my sister, I needed to see this, this morning “that we are close, so close....” I received a bad report from my doctor on Friday about my heart issue returning. Looking forward to Jesus’s call to us to take us home where there is no sickness, or hurting, only tremendous love and peace. 🦋
Praying for your healing Jennifer.... I'm so sorry you received a bad report. While we wait.... He heals! 💛
Thank you Kari and Amen! He is so faithful ♥️
So true Kari! 🌻
Jennifer. Prayers for your heart issue. We at TP speak healing for you; lifting you to the Throne of Grace. Peace and blessings.🙏🕊
Thank you ♥️
🙏
May the God of miracles send forth His word that you shall be healed. In Jesus’ name. Amen and amen!
Amen! And thank you Karen ♥️
Thank you ♥️
Thank you ♥️
Amen Kris. I also woke up to a beautiful morning here but now the skies are overcast with what looks to be like a storm moving in. Prayers for your beautiful day there in Virginia. Love you my friend.
What I love most.... sharing a glass of wine with you sister in our new, resurrected bodies. You have been a steady rock for all of us here on the TP. Praying for your renewed healing!
Amen Kari. God please bless Kris, and Kari.
Amen, Kris, and Blessed Morning to you.
So beautifully written Chris! ❤️
Ooops...I keep misspelling your name Kris....sorry...

I can almost taste it now Lord … come soon dear Jesus. Come soon!
Amen Jim. Blessings to you today.
I loved that episode, David! I also like good wine. 😉
One of my favorite episodes on the Chosen! Thank you David for being our TP beacon of truth!
Great article! I loved the part about the six wine jars correlating to 6000 years of human history. 
Guys as soon as I posted this. I opened tiktok and this was what I saw😧confirmation!!!!!
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTdt35aX1/?k=1
Wow! Jimmy keeps us informed.
Even on crazy Tik Tok! 💛

Thats so great youre bringing your son. My daughter and I will be there. (flying in from Ca)
I don’t know if I’m posting this in the correct spot but I so appreciate all your comments and thoughts!
Mel.... thank you for leaving such encouraging comments today! We all needed to hear your story. And... yes, you're posting correctly.
3 of us are going to be coming to the TP conference from AZ!! Look forward to meeting this awesome community of Believers! 🙌🏻
Yayyy this is so exciting and TX is ready & waiting for y’all! 🤠💛

I promise we won’t go hunting instead ha ha. It is more just finances. Hopefully things will get back closer to normal and I think they will. It would mean a lot to us to be able to come so I think we are going to do everything possible to do that 😊

I don’t understand why it is so easy for me to believe in Jesus Christ and His Word!!! Why do we want to talk about Jesus and others don’t want to hear mention of Him???
Why did I lose my grip on this world??? Why did all my pleasures of this world
cease???
All I can say is, Take this whole world but give me Jesus❣️❣️❣️
Awe Esther...I wish I could give you a hug. Don't you hate that blank stare look? It feels like alot of us are losing our tolerance for living in this world anymore. We're ready to live in our real home.
Haha, yes Jessie - that blank look, that says: groan, here she goes again getting all churchy!! It is actually quite sad because if only they knew what wonder and glory they could have . But what I find hard to understand is when the conversation turns to all the evil and crazy things that are going on today, and I say things like (for eg the impending famine .. or a one-world govt/currency .. etc etc), and I say: "this is all in the Bible and has been for the past 2000 years". It doesn't seem to compute with them. Yet they will believe fake news items or corrupt politicians. I wish it were different. It can be so sad. But I will be forever grateful that I have taken the leap towards becoming a Christian (even at 66 years of age, it's never too late!!) I feel like a big sponge and want to soak up all there is to know about God and the Bible. I could never be without Him in my life now. And you guys, the TP family, are such a blessing. How did I ever survive before?? God Bless you all xxx
Amen Esther, yes take this whole world but give me Jesus.
Remember Paul says in the NT that the rapture won’t be a surprise to us who are saved. It won’t come as a thief in the night for us. This is very reassuring to me.
Great share today. Really love your testimony. Often, I wonder the same thing. How can what seems so simple and obvious be so hard to believe for people? I am so thankful for His truth, His Word, His Righteousness and it filling us. Happy Sunday.
Justin. So true and simple. I watch Billy Graham’s classic messages and He taught God’s Word so easy to understand : The Cross; The Blood of Jesus; and Salvation and The Only True Way to The Father. Paul’s letter to 2nd Corinthians 4:4 says; Whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the Gospel of the Glory of Christ, who is the image of God , should shine on them! So sad 😭! Enjoyed your comment.
And I enjoyed yours 😊. Thanks as always for adding in some great scripture and perspective.
Esther. Love you sharing this story. We had an evangelistic teaching class at my Church and the Pastor shared with us the different techniques of how to share the Gospel. We share the Gospel as Christ as commanded and it’s the other person’s decision to respond . Some water; some plant ; and God causes the growth, I’m proud of you for standing firm in your belief. So; shine your light and be salt for Jesus. Yes our hearts hurt for those who hear ; but don’t listen. Blessings.🙏💕✝️
Amen 🙏
Great message! And what a great wedding it will be
Thank you so much Jimmy for your in depth explanations of the marriage supper of the lamb and the correlations between Christ the bridegroom and the church (the bride). I have always heard the church to be the “bride of Christ”, but never really GOT it. I NEVER knew how to put all this together and it just makes so much more sense now. I have struggled with being a pretribulationist vs post- tribulationist. I grew up believing in a pre trib rapture, but I have listened to some preachers who didn’t believe in it- so it has left me confused and in search for the truth for a long time. This is the most confirming and convincing evidence for a pre trib rapture. Thank you so much!
Marcy, you will love this Jimmy post too. Shares more details on the Bride & Groom - https://endtimes.substack.com/p/the-return-of-the-groom
I'd like to read that, David. I had always thought we'd have to go through the tribulation. After studying it though, pretrib makes more sense. I'm now astounded how many pastors are still pushing the post trib doctrine.
Thank you David!
What a glorious day it will be❤️🌹
This is so encouraging in these evil days where everywhere we look we see more and more of satan's control. I pray that all of us just keep on keeping on until Jesus comes for us!
Wonderful message this morning! For very good reasons Pastor Jimmy will not declare a specific date. But personally, in view of how rapidly the powers of darkness are multiplying the evil--the lawlessness, corruption, perversion. . . until it's reached the point where it's so sick that no one could have ever imagined it--I'm allowing myself to X-off the next 18 weeks, one-by-one, on my calendar!
Thank you, Pastor Jimmy. All I can say is, Thank you Jesus, and Amen!!

Wow! I have never heard it said like this before. That is purely amazing. Thank you Lord for revealing this to your watchmen. There is a song sung by a group called Rarely Herd called "Driving Nails" that describes that day that his mother went searching for Jesus and couldn't find him. I don't know how to give links to songs but it is on you tube. All of you will love it.
Thank You Jesus💗🙏I can't wait!
AMEN AN AMEN
How can everyone continue to think and believe that Jesus is going to return and miraculously just save us from this world? People have been saying these things and waiting on the same thing for thousands of years. You talk about how there are signs but there have always been earthquakes, wars, tragedies and signs in every generation. Don’t you folks ever get to the point where you question whether this is all true and if you are wasting your time doing all this instead of living your lives?
No, I don’t get to that point. I used to, but I never, ever get to that point anymore because I’ve learned just how important it is to be extremely selective of those whom I keep company with. I certainly get discouraged sometimes, but I no longer doubt Jesus. I’m not typing this to bring any light to myself whatsoever so I pray that no one reads this that way. I typed it to encourage; not only others but myself as well! We all have those times where we get frustrated at the waiting because we want Jesus to return so much that we can feel it but just like our phones have an app for everything, “There’s a scripture for that.”
~Isaiah 40:29-31
It’s so important for each of us to continue to fellowship at church in-person, in our small groups, and here! It’s through these relationships that we build lifetime connections that are anointed, where we will find that encouragement when the enemy is doing his best to shift our focus from God.
One of my very favorite things about this community and the people here is the encouragement I get just from reading through the comments, and the vulnerability and honesty of folks. It’s that comment where someone tells that they are struggling sometimes that I am blessed the most. Not because I am any kind of authority (because I’m certainly not!), but because it’s those people who aren’t afraid to be honest and tell the truth that reminds me that I am with my people. I want to be around others who struggle and get discouraged sometimes.
Those are my folks. This is my family. You are my people.
~Galatians 6:9
Amen Steve. We are also in that generation of scoffers who laugh at us and scoff because we believe that his coming is so nigh. The Bible clearly states that would also be a sign of the end times. It seems very clear to me that we are the generation Jesus spoke of when all of the signs would be prevalent. We are the generation that witnessed the fig tree blooming, the wars and rumors of wars, the pestilence and the disease. We are the generation that have witnessed the growth of technology paving the way for the monetary one-world government, we are the generation that have witnessed not just one of the signs given, but all of those signs. From the book of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Matthew, Luke, Corinthians, Thessalonians, and the awesome book of Revelation... We see the dots connecting and we understand ever so much clearly as we see these events spoken of come to pass in our time. I truly believe that we are that generation of believers who got to witness all of the signs given. Blessings to you my brother. I love to read end time prophecy books and listen to teachers teach about it. And I love my T.P. family!!!!
Geez, Steve....those were wonderful words....Im feeling so honored to get to listen in on everyones thoughts and knowledge here...you guys are my best teachers....feeling incredibly blessed 🙌
