Now and Then:
If you've followed my study at all ,you would know I have made claims that Paul ,Timothy and the saints are apart of the reserection of the dead, and that Paul and Timothy have this ministry of reconciliation which is the harvest of the church, and all faithful believers will be gathered into the church of the Thessalonians which are in God and in Christ , which Thessaloniki which means victory over falseities which makes the church of the Thessalonians the victorious church. Of course this is sumbolic in nature. And then you would also know that I claim that written in scripture Paul would be the greater of the two witnesses the other being Peter, I initially thought the other would be Timothy but I have come to believe it would be Peter. I have shown scripture that to me reads as if Paul will actually be crucified which I relate to the sign of Jonah. I quote multiple verses that I think definitely point to this.
I can give those verses at anytime, but I wanted to focus on one verse in particular, but first I wanted to set the stage for this one verse by saying that we know that the gospel is the good news, and we know we serve a merciful God that loves us, and we know through study that God has repented more than anyone, he has changed his mind many times on things he said he would never do. Saying that the persecutions against faithful believers have been terrible and with all the rapture theories the fait of humanity has looked quite grave as if God would have to sn**ch us out of here in an emergency situation.
So the one verse is apart of my theory that Paul would be crucified and the ramifications of this one verse could mean that maybe just maybe that our glorious Savior has made a way that nothing we have feared would have to come to pass that through the incredible mercy of God that every single person that ever thought of being saved would find salvation and that every single atheist that ever denied Christ would come to worship him. The only people that would be lost would be those that belong to Satan , those who have done the will of Satan, have killed and persecuted in his name would be destroyed along with their father Satan, all his lies taken to hell with him.
OK, I've set the stage that I believe there is a verse that gives us this chance that what I'm saying could be the ultimate repentance of the Lord because of his incredible mercy for man.
It hinges on one word in this verse in Pauls gospel. Phillipians 2;17 Paul states,Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
Can you guess the word.
If
Think about how huge that word is in this passage, it has been nagging at me for literally months. Paul uses that word in another passage in 2nd Corinthians 13;2 where says if I come again , I will not spare.
So my thoughts are that our loving God and Lord and Savior all along knew that he would prove his love in the most incredible way, that he would draw us all into too him, through love for him and for oneanother that he would in a sense for go all the great tribulation , cancel the need for another sacrifice that I have believed would be Paul , wouldn't that be the greatest move ever by God that he would set up his Kingdom right here in the midst of all the evil that has surrounded us our entire lives. I just can't see any other reason for all that scripture has set up for the end times that Paul would say if I be offered , it just leaves the door wide open for our Savior to transform this world into paradise that we've all long for, all of our lives we take vacations that gave us this taste of what paradise might look like, of course most vacations didn't turn out that way but the pictures have been great. So I have been harping on 2nd Corinthians 8;14,15 for years now, I had thought this one verse sounds like socialism. Which should have drawn all democrats to the defense of Paul ages ago. But believing is so hard to do, because everything wants to deny it. A good friend posted I'm guessing a verse I'm not sure, but he said something to the effect of Lord help me with my disbelief.
Anyhow regardless of how this glorious word of God plays out, my faith is in my Savior , my Lord and my God.
Lord bless you all
