It is totally unacceptable to think that we can interpret
to suit our own thinking. I think backwards...so
while we drive on the highway at 55 we are both
interpreting just fine...but when I see a sign...
Speed Limit 15mph...I rev my engine to a cool 51.

I told the policeman I thought it said 51.

and as to Matthew 24:5

I guess I should start with verse 4.
JESUS answered "Take heed that no one deceives you"

So that We would not be deceived he makes
several declarations so that we will have a solid
backdrop for what the future holds.

So that you will not be deceived.

OK. So some OBJECTIVE truth follows. Which means
that regardless of our suit...the truth will remain.

vs 5
For many will come in My name, saying "I am the Christ
and will deceive many"

Has this happened? Has anyone declared that they can
become or are Christ?

vs9

Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you
and you will be hated by all nations for MY name's sake.

And I thought UPS meant United Peace Society.
Don't worry though this only applies to those that
believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior.

v14
Power scripture.
And the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all
the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the
end will come.

The internet, satellite communication, translators...

v15
"abomination of desolation"
The false-prophet & anti-christ will declare in the,
as of this moment unbuilt temple "That he is to be
worshipped" He will bring peace to the World, he
will be healed from wounds that caused him to lose
his right arm and his right eye.

v21
For then there will be a great tribulation, such as
has not been since the beginning of the world...

There will those on this list that will become
members of the elect and will endure to the
end, your choice to follow Jesus will not come
until after you recognize that those that
believed on the Lord Jesus are now suddenly
gone. Hopefully along with the other prophetic
declarations such as the Mark, the re-building
of the temple you will finally lay your own
spirituality on the cross.

v25
See, I have told you BEFOREhand.

So you will not be decieved!!!

v35
Heaven and Earth will pass away, but
MY words will by no means pass away.

It is what it is. No symbolism whatsoever.

v37
But as the days of Noah were, so also
will the coming of the Son of Man be.

v39
And did not know until the flood came...

Interestingly enough Noah was building
the Ark for 100 yrs in a place where no
rain had ever rained. There was not a large
body of water near either. Every carved
piece of wood SCREAMS of the eventual
judgement of God.

v40
Two men will be working in the field
(or posting on the internet) : one will
be left the other taken.

You stay...I go.

v51
..there will be weeping and gnashing
of teeth.

The greek indicates that the gnashing
is so hard that the teeth will crumble.

Ouch that hurts.

Romans 10:9
If you will confess with your mouth that
Jesus Christ is Lord and believe with your
heart that God rose Him from the dead
YOU will be saved.

Daniel
Enjoying a little rapture practice.
Lifting Holy hands to worship Him.
