When I read, "Otherwise, you're just sitting around wallowing in the deteriorating condition of the world." I thought, "Yep, that's me." Sometimes I need a kick in the rear end to wake me up or get me going. Thank you Pastor Jimmy.
I listen to many prophecy teachers who, to me, are reliable ones. Amir Tsarfati is one of them. A Messianic Jew, he has strong Biblical knowledge, and has taught that all the Feasts that God ordained, are for Israel, and not us, the Bride of Christ. The rapture is set apart from the feasts, with no known indication of its timing, except, according to 2 Thessalonians 2:7, it will be before the revealing of the Antichrist, which, as we know, his signing of the covenant with Israel will start the tribulation. The first four Feasts, in the Spring, were fulfilled by Jesus in their proper order, and for the Jews. The future three fall Feasts will also be fulfilled by Jesus, with the Feast of Trumpets being in Jesus' return when He sets His feet on the Mount of Olives, with us following on our white horses. Ten days later the Day of Atonement will take place, and then the Feast of Tabernacles, signaling the Millennium. You can listen to his video on YouTube by keying in Behold Israel's Amir Tsarfati: God's Calendar, where he explains it better than I can here. Since we are seeing the impending shadowing of the Tribulation now, we know that the rapture is soon. Sooner than we realize. Always good to be ready, watching, while occupying. May Jesus find us, His Bride, not idle and waiting, but busy doing the work He has called us to do, as His ambassadors. And as all ambassadors, He will remove us to safety just before things get really bad. See you up there, fellow Saints! Maranatha! Jesus IS coming soon!!
As many others I was disappointed that Jesus did not come to rapture his church. This may sound silly but I was worried about leaving my pets behind as I knew my family would go also. I felt both disappointment and relief. I have continued my daily study of Jesus just like before. I thought about the Roe vs Wade decision and the coming elections. Maybe the Lord is giving us another chance to get it right and bring more people to Jesus. Jimmy, I take much comfort from your teachings and I look forward to each morning to read your posts. Until that day I will continue as before. Today Florida needs an outpouring of prayer and blessings. Blessings to all.
Marantha Jimmy and thank you for this message. We have a home in Punta Gorda that was spared. There is no power or water. Many places are devastated and truthfully, I was hoping for the rapture before Ian made landfall. I will trust in God's sovereignty and timing and keep singing "God is sooooo good"
I want to thank you pastor Jimmy for giving biblical insight on the truths of Gods Words from the Bible. I thank God thru my Lord Jesus, that I know more now than I have ever known about biblical prophecy. When I first became a pastor over 18 years ago, my first Bible Study was about was “Jesus is Coming back,” many were confused as to why was I teaching about that. Coming into a rural country (African American Church) you are supposed to preaching about the love of God making people shout) But God has always given me the direction to talk about why we should be prepared and to be watchful for Jesus coming back soon. And graciously the church has embraced the doctrinal truths about Jesus is coming back, because Soon to us is not the same soon for God. It could have only been two days for the almighty but 2000 years for us. You have mentioned all the reasons why God timing is not our timing, which you are so right. God has a way that is mighty sweet, as my grandmother used to say. I still live with the expectation that Jesus could come at anytime, so while I have time. I will make sure everyone I know will know that they know who Jesus is.
I don't know what happened yesterday but I was demonically bird bombed with anxiety and temporary depression 🙃. Hit me like a ton of Egyptian mud bricks! Update today...it's Friday fellow tipsters! I woke up at 3:15 rested and in my turn on coffee machine deployment mind! Keep prayed up kiddos. We are one day closer. I'm keeping watch for the thief in the night who comes at a time I think not! My eyes are looking up! You do the same. Love you regular usual suspects! Stay encouraged and don't watch the news! They're LIARS! LATER.
Excellent message!!! Thank you for addressing this, considering the comments made on Wed re how many were disappointed and discouraged. We need to trust God and lean not on our own understanding, because as you said, we only see things from a linear perspective. Jesus fulfilled the first 3 feasts in the spring 'season,' so it's only natural to believe He will fulfill the last 3 in the fall 'season.' These are just my thoughts, but maybe this fulfillment doesn't mean season of the year, i.e., spring, summer, fall, winter, but season (condition of the world) Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24, plus all the other end times signs prophesied we see all converging at the same time.
Sometimes our expectation our hope can take us away from our first love to evangelize. No man knows the day or hour, but we all know the season. Jesus is coming soon, I just want to concentrate on helping others who don't know that true peace of God, to know Him fully. Our only peace in this day and time. Thank you Brother Jimmy many if us expected what you did, but the fact is we are going home soon! Praise God
Needed to read this. I have felt great uneasiness coupled with being more than mildly discouraged this week. We just want to go home, but not yet is the plan I guess.
Thank you Pastor Jimmy for your transparency and your own testimony. I know you never set a date and I too stocked some hope in last week and had brought my tears, worries and self-focus to God in this weeks Wednesday prayer and asked him to search my heart, refocus me toward His Will and who I could reach out to share the gospel with, my immediate family are saved but I have nieces and nephews on my heart and reaching out to them this week to share encouragement and let them know that I’m praying for them. After that teary prayer this week, my Daughter called spontaneously and shared that many younger adults like her are starting to talk about end times on social media seeing the devastation all around them (they are being shaken), people she never thought would be open to God are suddenly wondering…this gives me hope. Later that day, a card from a Church friend came in the mail with scripture and a note of encouragement (Romans 15:13). Later that night I woke up and smelled so many smells from different foods (it was weird), I asked God If the heavens were preparing a feast for us. I will still live my life, keeping my lamp trimmed and ready. I have replenished my peace and hope this week. I’m also praying for Florida and for Israel and for my own city and asking for revival. Maranatha!
Thank you for this ministry and much appreciation for all you do... especially your marriage/family ministry. Really liked this message, too! Think some old locker room quotes pounded into me as a young man are fitting for the moment for all of us. When the going gets tough, the tough get going... it's now how you started, it's how you finished. Maranatha!
I picked up my notes from a sermon I heard on YouTube recently from one of the pastors, men of God, I've been watching nonstop recently. Including your sermons and talks, Pastor Jimmy. Those were the four points of what we must be doing til Christ returns.
I also go to my local church everytime the doors are open. Not just go but get involved. There is a big difference in praying and worshipping with like minded believers. I lack social skills, but there is something to be said about feeling the love, peace and unity in church. I went last Wednesday to prayer meeting and was flooded with peace and love and joy(I don't normally do joy:). I have a heavy burden for the children in these last of the last days. I know Jesus loves them all more than I do. His timing is perfect. I wait on the Lord.
Continualy Waiting on God is a discipline I am learning. It is Gloriuos and Challenging. I find in these end days I am looking up more as I wait. Thank you Jimmy for the HOPE you give each day
