”Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.“

Amen amen amen! The only real hope I have is that Jesus is returning and one day he will reign here again!

Amen! I remind myself every day that the best is yet to come! Jesus will actually rule and reign from Jerusalem during the Millennium. How amazing will that be?!?!

Years of suffering to come under the antiChrist and the mark of the beast before that.

For the people that stay behind the catching up (Rapture). Not for the Church of the living God!

He already rules and reigns. He is waiting for His people to rise up and do their part in resisting tyranny!

I challenge you to show the Bible verse where Jesus once told his followers to ‘fight’. In fact, it was quite the opposite.

This kind of thinking is ‘Kingdom Now’ theology and is not biblical at all. Jesus will rule no matter what. Do you actually believe He needs US to fight for Him in order for Him to rule? No. Every knee will bow and the Lord doesn’t need any ‘fighting’ from us to do it.

-Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”

‭‭John‬ ‭18‬:‭36‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

I said resist… instead of a wrong view of Romans 13, where people believe we are to submit to the government, verses have a proper understanding of the limited role of government

Did you wear a mask when you were told to?

More Christians need to understand this. The false and defeatist attitude of "we can't really do anything because it will all get worse until Jesus comes back and fixes it" is the OPPOSITE of scriptural!
