You, Bruce Lee, & The Bible

May 16, 2025 / admin

Bruce Lee (1940-1973) was a Hong Kong-American martial artist, *actor, *filmmaker, and philosopher. (**Note: Although I’m saying favourable things about Bruce Lee here, this article is not meant to endorse his movies – I am NOT promoting martial arts, endorsing Hollywood movies, endorsing dragon symbolism, or Eastern religion! But I am promoting self-discipline, which Bruce Lee 100% excelled in.)

I’ve also seen conflicting accounts of Bruce Lee’s beliefs about God, and whether he was an athiest or not. But Bruce gave some interesting ‘Biblical like’ advice, and left some great quotes that we can learn quite a lot from.

For example, Bruce Lee said:
“As you think, so shall you become.”
“You think the fight begins when you step onto the mat; no, the real battle is fought long before that, in your mind. Before I ever threw a punch, before I ever kicked I had already won or lost in my head. The moment doubt enters, the battle is over.
That’s why I trained my mind as fiercely as I trained my body.”

This is very similar to Prov 23:7 KJV and it is key to self mastery.
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.

Bruce also said:
“If everyone would help their neighbor, then no one would be without help.”

This echoes a Biblical principle, with additional depth.
James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well.

Bruce Lee is most famous for saying:

BE LIKE WATER

The way I think about this is, when a person swims in a pool, the pool takes the shape of the person. After the person leaves the pool, the water returns to how it was before.

I don’t believe you should totally empty your mind to allow some demon to take over, but we do need to empty out the self will, as Christ did.

Luke 22:41- 42. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

Help with Anger Management

Bruce said “A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough.”

Anger and frustration comes when we are contradicted, or attacked.

This is because we are too ridged in holding to our own shape, holding to our own rigid identity.

Christ gave us the solution in the Lord’s prayer.
“THY kingdom come, THY will be done.”

When we die to self, that is to self will, in a sense, OUR will is no longer done, we are easily counselled (James 3:17), and we follow Galatians 2:20.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

This is saying that we too can have Christ living in us!

Bruce Lee:

In order to taste my cup of water you must first empty your cup. My friend, drop all of your preconceived fixed ideas and be neutral. Do you know why this cup is so useful? Because it is empty.

Too often, I’ve been guilty of thinking I had all my ducks in a row, and resisted being told that which I didn’t want to accept, instead of graciously welcoming other viewpoints.

If we are dead IN CHRIST then we need not feel we are being attacked, nor will we be upset that OUR opinion is being contradicted, because we defer to God’s opinion, in preference to our own.

We can also be like water.

The Holy Spirit is like water.
When Christ is in us, through His Spirit, the water of His Words flows in our life.

Bruce Lee:

“Running water never grows stale. So you just have to keep on flowing.”

FOCUS

Bruce Lee said,

‎”THE SUCCESSFUL WARRIOR IS THE AVERAGE MAN, WITH LASER-LIKE FOCUS.”

“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”

It’s said that Bruce practiced 5,000 punches a day for decades!

“Do not have an attitude, open yourself and FOCUS yourself and express yourself. Reject external form that fails to express internal reality.”

“Bring the mind to a sharp FOCUS and make it alert so that it can immediately intuit truth, which is everywhere.”

Hmmn, – the Bible says, in John 17:17 Thy word is truth, but also:

Phi 3:13 KJV Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this ONE THING I DO, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

FEAR and PROGRESS

Bruce Lee:

“Don’t fear failure. Not failure, but low aim is the crime. In great attempts, it is glorious even to fail.”

“Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal.”

Bible:

Phil 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Bruce Lee:

“If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

Bible:

Psalm 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Bruce Lee:

“Do not pray for an easy life; pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.”

Bible:

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Jesus left us a promise, that we can have HIS peace.

LIFE and TIME

I’m repeating Bruce’s time quote:

“If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

He also said:

“It’s not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.”

Bible:

“Making the best use of the time, because the days are evil” Ephesians 5:16

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.” – Romans 13:12

Bruce Lee

“The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.”

Bible:

“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps” – Proverbs 16:9

“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” – John 10:10

… that believing ye might have life through his name.” – John 20:31

DEFEAT and VICTORY

Bruce Lee:

“Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.”

Bible:

Deuteronomy 20:4: “For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.”

Psalm 44:7: “But you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.”

1 Corinthians 15:57: “But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

1 John 5:4: “For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”

What Bruce Lee Missed

While teaching self-discipline, so far as I know, Bruce Lee did not teach fasting. He didn’t believe in methodology either. He said, talking about levels of attainment, “Belts are only good for holding up your pants.”

He believed we should obey health principles without being bound by them. Good advice, and true up to a point. But fasting is a powerful journey toward attaining self-mastery that I suspect he missed.

Sample Bible fasting quotes: Philippians 3:19 “Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.” Proverbs 23:2 “Put a knife to your throat if you are given to appetite!” Jesus also said (Mat 6:16-18) “when you fast,“ not if you fast.

If you are a slave to your passions you don’t have self-discipline. Therefore, you may hate this advice, but fasting is a disciplined practice that strengthens both body and mind. By willingly embracing hunger and resisting instant gratification, you cultivate resilience, focus, and unwavering willpower. Each moment of restraint becomes a victory over impulses, proving that you—not your cravings—are in control.

As you fast, you sharpen mental clarity, deepen self-awareness, and unlock a profound sense of inner strength. This ancient practice is more than abstaining from food; it’s a transformative act of discipline that teaches you to conquer desires, endure discomfort, and emerge stronger.

Through balanced and sensible fasting (there is no need to be extreme, or Pharisaical as in Luke 18:11-12), you don’t just master your appetite—you master yourself.

There are other principles on nicetiming that Bruce missed, but mostly he was very astute.

Summary

In summary, I don’t idolize Bruce Lee, but I do give credit where it’s due.

In a number of ways he was well above average, as well as amazing, and in fact, superhuman. (If you don’t think so, you try doing two finger push-ups, as verified in the video below.)

I’m sorry he died so young.

I think the following YouTube short is surprisingly poignant!

Pillars, 7 x || || = 77

February 25, 2025 / admin

Pillars have always inspired me.

Two of my favourite verses in the Bible both mention pillars.

Revelation 3:12 talks about being made a pillar in the temple of God.

1 Sam 2:8 talks about God setting the poor out of the dust among the pillars of the earth.

Here are both verses in the KJV translation:

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.

In addition, using my Bible Search software (the MySword phone app), in the KJV it gives me 77 verses for the word pillars (in the plural), and if you don’t think that’s interesting, read my Bible proof page about the number 7.

The main purpose for pillars is to support a structure, and the main things that comes to my mind when I think about pillars is both strength and beauty.

It’s interesting to note that often the most visible part of a structure that has remained in several ancient buildings are the pillars.

2Ki 23:3 Perhaps it is was on purpose that Josiah stood by a pillar when he made a covenant before the Lord.

And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

Twelve pillars also represented the twelve tribes of Israel in Exo 24:4.

Moses then wrote down everything the Lord had said.
He got up early the next morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain and set up twelve stone pillars representing the twelve tribes of Israel.

In Exodus 13:21-22 God became a pillar of cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by night for His people.

And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.

It matches Song 3:6 Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?

In this imagery, Solomon depicts Christ, the God of the Old Testament, as the King. (I explain more here.)

In the modern era, the church should be the pillar and support of truth. Unfortunately, most modern churches tend to be anything but that. See 1 Tim 3:15… but in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one should act in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.

In Genesis 31:52 we see that a pillar can be a witness, and that adds a little substance to my speculation about the ‘two witnesses’ of Revelation here.

If I’m wrong about that, no worries.

Pillars are still significant in the Bible.

Without the main pillars, columns or posts supporting them, most traditional houses will fall. Read Judges chapter 16 for the story of Samson, and how he pushed over the two main pillars supporting the pagan temple of Dagon, the god of the Philistines.

Jdg 16:26 Samson said to the servant who held his hand, “Put me where I can feel the pillars that support the temple, so that I may lean against them.”

Samson, although blind (which reminds me of the blind Laodiceans), was still able to do an incredible work for God.

Christians are supposed to be God’s temple, not a pagan one.

2 Cor 6:16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“I will live with them
and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they will be my people.”

And the Bible says, The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God.

One last verse:

Proverbs 9:1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her SEVEN pillars.

This is a little quirky, but 7 x || || = 77

The 77 verses that contain the word ‘pillars’ in the KJV Bible really do seem to back this up!

AI Job Apocalypse & Complete Chaos: How Exponential Change Will Reshape the World by 2028

February 2, 2025 / admin

Here’s what the next three years will bring—and how to prepare for the storm

The world is on the brink of a transformation so profound it feels almost apocalyptic. AI is advancing at an exponential pace, threatening to wipe out millions of jobs by 2028. Chaotic weather patterns, fueled by climate change, are destabilizing nations and creating widespread suffering. For those who look to the Bible, the words of Daniel 12:4 resonate deeply:
“But you, O Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased.”
Knowledge is indeed increasing at an unprecedented rate, and with it comes disruption, chaos, and uncertainty.

The Exponential Pace of Change: A Ticking Time Bomb

The pace of technological advancement isn’t just fast—it’s exponential. What used to take decades now happens in years, and what took years now happens in months. By 2028, the world will be unrecognizable. Here’s what to expect:

1. Currently: AI tools like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and MidJourney are becoming ubiquitous, automating 40% of administrative and creative tasks in fields such as law, finance, and customer service. Self-driving trucks will soon dominate the roads, wiping out 3 million trucking jobs in the U.S. alone. This shift will be felt across industries, but some sectors will be hit harder than others.

2. 2026: AI begins replacing mid-level management roles, with algorithms making decisions faster and more efficiently than humans. The global job market sees its first wave of mass unemployment, with 75 million jobs lost worldwide.

3. 2027: AI achieves near-human-level reasoning, disrupting industries like law, medicine, and engineering. Even high-skilled workers are at risk, and the gig economy becomes the only lifeline for millions. According to the World Economic Forum’s *Future of Jobs Report 2023*, 23% of jobs are expected to change by 2027, with 83 million jobs eliminated and 69 million new roles created.

4. 2028: AI systems begin to outperform humans in virtually every field, leading to widespread economic and social upheaval. Governments struggle to respond, and inequality reaches unprecedented levels. The middle class is gone, leaving only a few ultra rich, and the rest struggle to survive.

The exponential growth of AI isn’t just changing the job market—it’s reshaping society itself.

And as knowledge increases, so does the chaos.

Chaotic Weather and End Times Prophecies

While AI disrupts the job market, the physical world is also in turmoil. Chaotic weather patterns, fueled by climate change, are becoming more frequent and severe. Hurricanes, wildfires, and floods are devastating communities, displacing millions, and straining global resources. For those who study biblical prophecy, these events echo the words of Matthew 24, where Jesus describes the signs of the end times:

– “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.” (Matthew 24:7)

– “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.” (Matthew 24:12)

– “For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.” (Matthew 24:21)

The convergence of technological disruption and environmental chaos feels like a fulfillment of these prophecies. As AI reshapes the economy, extreme weather events are destabilizing nations, leading to food shortages, mass migrations, and social unrest.

The world is entering a period of unprecedented uncertainty.

One of the leading figures of the AI boom, and CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, says “AI will probably lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime there’ll be great companies!”

Industries on the Brink of Collapse

The dual forces of AI and environmental chaos are pushing entire industries to the brink. Here’s what’s at risk:

1. Agriculture: Chaotic weather is disrupting crop yields, while AI-driven automation is replacing farmworkers. Real food production, as opposed to GMO food production, is being threatened.

2. Energy: Extreme weather is straining power grids. Solar and wind energy production is unable to cope, and the switch away from coal by certain governments is being exposed as a monumental blunder. At the same time AI is optimizing energy production, leaving human workers redundant.

3. Construction: Extreme weather is destroying infrastructure, while AI-powered robots are taking over construction jobs.

4. Healthcare: AI is revolutionizing diagnostics and treatment, but increasing unwellness, wars, and other disasters are overwhelming healthcare systems. The American people are the sickest in the world, due to the deception of the food and drug companies. Rev 18:23 has never been more applicable.

5. Art & Publishing: It now takes just a few seconds to produce art like this…

6. Societal Chaos: Misinformation, Deepfakes, and Ethical Concerns

AI’s impact extends beyond the economy—it’s also reshaping society in ways that could lead to chaos. One of the most pressing concerns is the rise of AI-generated misinformation and deepfakes. In 2023, deepfake cases increased by 900% compared to 2022 (DeepTrace Labs, 2023), raising fears about their use in elections, fraud, and propaganda.

Ethical concerns are also mounting. A 2023 Stanford study found that 65% of AI systems exhibit significant bias in hiring and lending decisions, highlighting the need for greater transparency and accountability. Governments are struggling to keep pace with AI advancements, with the EU’s AI Act aiming to regulate high-risk AI applications.

How to Survive the Coming Chaos

The convergence of AI disruption and environmental chaos demands urgent action. Here’s how to prepare:

1. Reskill for the AI Economy: Learn AI-related skills like data analysis, coding, or digital marketing. Platforms like Coursera and Udemy offer affordable courses.

2. Prepare for Climate Instability: Stockpile essentials, learn survival skills, and consider relocating to areas less vulnerable to extreme weather.

3. Strengthen Community Ties: In times of crisis, community is your greatest asset. Build relationships with neighbors and local organizations.

4. Stay Spiritually Grounded: For those who believe, now is the time to deepen your faith and seek guidance through prayer, and studying deeper into Scripture. (Example here.)

A World on the Edge

The next three years will be a period of exponential change and unprecedented disruption. AI will reshape the job market, chaotic weather will destabilize nations, and the signs of the end times will become harder to ignore. As Daniel 12:4 foretold, knowledge is increasing, and with it comes both opportunity and peril. The question is: Are you ready?

Conclusion

By 2028, the world will be a very different place. AI-driven job loss, chaotic weather, and the fulfillment of biblical prophecies will converge to create a future that is both exhilarating and terrifying. The time to prepare is now. Reskill, adapt, and strengthen your community—because the future is coming, and it’s coming fast.

What do you think about the rapid changes we’re seeing? Are you prepared for what’s coming?

USA to be Nuked – but when?

May 25, 2024 / admin / 0 Comments

This is the most terrifying message I don’t want to see happen. But several Bible timeline researchers believe a nuclear attack on the USA WILL happen very soon.

Are they correct?

This is not my own dated prophecy. I do not have an exact date. I’m referencing some dates predicted by others, but the events come from the Bible first and foremost.

Zechariah’s prophecy

Let’s look at Zechariah’s prophecy of nuclear missiles to begin with.

In 2001 Michael Rood (A Rood Awakening channel) wrote a book called ‘The Mystery of Iniquity.’ In chapter 9 he describes how, in 2020, he came to understand the true meaning of Zechariah Chapter 5.

Zechariah describes an ICBM. It looked to him like a flying scroll, about 10.5 metres long by 1.7 metres in diameter. See Zech 5:1-2. Nuclear missiles have similar dimensions.

The flying scroll (nuclear missile) enters houses, or nations (the word ‘house’ can refer to a nation eg. Ezek 37:11), and consumes timber and stones, Zech 5:4. (A normal scroll is meant for reading; it’s not nearly that large, and it certainly doesn’t consume timber and stones!) It is described as a curse that goes over the whole land, so it could be that the missiles are sent towards Israel, but it also says the curse is sent towards those who swear falsely in God’s name, which to me sounds like those who print on their money ”in God we trust” which is the official motto of the United States.

In the prophecy there is ‘a woman in a basket,’ (Zec 5:7) but Michael discovered the translation for the word woman, shown here, is more accurately rendered as ‘fire’ or ‘fire offering,’ and the phrase is more accurately translated ‘a fire in a container.’

Zec 5:11 is unclear. Is it saying the missile base being referred to is in either Iraq, or Iran (the land of Shinar)? Shinar ”the country of two rivers” can mean Babylon, but in the end time ‘Babylon‘ may predominantly reference the USA, also a country of two main rivers.

A better rendering of verse 11 may be “And he said to me, to build a fire in the land of Babylon, and it shall arrive and be thrown down upon the ground.”

The following is a very brief overview of various other probable references in the Bible to nuclear destruction in the end time.

Joel’s prophecy

Joel 2:3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.

Isaiah’s prophecy

The world’s oldest continuously inhabited city is prophesied to be destroyed completely…

Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

In one night!…

Is 17:14 At evening time, behold, there is terror! Before morning they are NO MORE…

Isaiah 24 – the whole chapter appears to speak about a nuclear war.

Check out Isa 24:6. Only a few people are left alive after this event.

Isaiah Chapter 33 “who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?” is speaking of nuclear fire, not hell fire as some may have supposed.

Jeremiah’s prophecy

Jeremiah 50 and 51. It says four times in these two chapters that Babylon’s destruction comes from the north.** Anciently, so far as I can tell it actually came from the east, but I could be wrong. However, if modern USA is primarily Babylon in prophecy, when you keep going north beyond Canada, you come to Russia.

Relevant nuclear destruction verses may be Jer 50:3, 9, 23, 29, 39, 40, 46. Verse 40 is especially telling.

Chapter 51 gets even more specific.

Jer 51:2, 3, 26, 29, 30, 32, 33, 37, 43, 57, 58, 62.

Jeremiah 51:25 talks about a burnt mountain. ”Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.” As shown in my last post, a mountain in the Bible often means a nation.

Daniel

Daniel 9 – last part of verse 26 (BSB) says: The end will come like a flood, and until the end there will be war; desolations have been decreed.

My ‘flood miracle’ page goes into more detail. Please check the menu.

Jonah

The sign of Jonah appears to have been the two eclipses over the USA that most people have already forgotten. I don’t agree with everything Troy Brewer says (same with most other Bible teachers!), but he was one of the YouTube presenters that explained his take on these events recently. Is this totally wrong?

Amos

To save me repeating myself, I touch on some of the verses in Amos, where I speculate about the White House being destroyed, here.

Jesus’ prophecy

Revelation comes from Jesus, Rev 1:1.

Rev 6:12-14 describes nuclear war. Also, the whole of Revelation chapter 18 carries the theme that Babylon is fallen. This is clearly a modern Babylon, and it happens by nukes, in one day. Rev 18:8.

Zephaniah’s prophecy

I believe Zep 3:6 is a nuclear prophecy also.

In fact, there are even more Biblical books and places I haven’t yet mentioned, indicating nuclear annilation, and probably world war, as a result of ignoring God’s words.

If by now you’re thinking you need a place of safety, check this page.

Dumb Dogs

Isa 56:10 calls most of todays priests who wear collars that look like dog collars, dumb dogs. They should be warning people of these prophecies, but they refuse to bark.

However, having read this, the responsibility to act on the information is now yours.

You should not ignore this.

This digitally altered image is sourced from the Radio Church of God’s 1956 booklet called “1975 in prophecy.” The Booklet predicted a future world war iii. The church received a lot of criticism when nothing happened in 1975. However, When the booklet was published, It was simply aROUND 70 years ahead of it’s time, and the title, “1975 in prophecy,” may turn out to have Been Roughly 50 yearS in advance Of the actual year of fulfillment… On the other hand, nuclear war may still be delayed for a little while longer.

The Jubilee Count to the End, and 2028

**In most modern English language countries, including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, any hostile attack would also most likely come from the north.

7 Radical Beliefs to Change Your Life

October 16, 2023 / admin / 0 Comments

The following list may make you pause for a moment, before you brush some of these off and continue on with your life. How many of these beliefs are you willing to embrace to the point that they transform your personal world?

1) Evolution is not true, and God is real. (Words in red are page links for each subject.) Romans 1:20

2) There is abundant proof that the Bible is true. John 17:17

3) The devil is a liar, and he is the prince of the power of the air. The devil controls nearly all of our education and media – therefore much of everything you believe is a lie. See John 8: 44 & Eph 2:2

4) Jesus will return WITHIN 10 years and most probably within 5

5) Click here to discover the purpose for YOUR life is FAR FAR greater than you have ever imagined.

6) Christ has extended his authority so that true Christians are able to command miracles and healings in his name, even down to THIS time NOW! True disciples have all things available to them. John 16:23-24

7) You can fill your life with light to the degree you have power and authority over nations! John 15:14-15, Rev 2:26. I believe you can apply Deut 28:1 and Deut 28:13 personally, which says if you follow God’s instructions, God has promised to make you the head, and not the tail.

Those are just some of the subjects I’ve explored in the links above. Even for Christians, some these beliefs may be hard to fully accept and make part of your life experience.

These concepts may challenge you. If that’s the case, Psalm 34:8 and 1 Thes 5:21 invite you to go ahead and see if Bible promises will actually work for you or not. Don’t be too quick to cast any of this aside, or judge results too hastily by thinking or saying God’s words are not 100% reliable. See Prov 18:13, Prov 19:2, Prov 29:20 and Eccl 5:2.

This is especially true for Christians… Please give these topics some thought, and don’t be like the foolish virgin’s in Matthew 25:1-13 who were not ready for the wedding, and were unnecessarily shut out.

(Many of the slumbering Christians in Matthew 25:7 will be those who wake up and proclaim the two witnesses message that’s explained here!)

AN UNUSUAL FLOOD

November 20, 2021 / admin / 0 Comments

AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE COMING OF THE DAY OF THE LORD

Several years before secret weather warfare (or perhaps global warming – choose your own explanation) gave us daily weather disasters, I was studying the Bible timeline, and after that I prayed about a light shower of rain, and called it a flood. This (showing my original photo’s of the next days newspaper) was the result…

There are a lot more details about this incident, but I’ve removed them because (a) my prayer is not provable, plus (b) it’s not good to draw attention to myself…
I know what I know, and that’s all that really matters.

Here’s what I DO want you to get:

Understanding 1000-year ‘Days’

As I said I was studying the Bible timeline, but especially the timing for Jesus’ return.

Matt 24:37 says the timing will be like the days of Noah when the flood came and took them all away. Matt 24:39

But elsewhere we are given additional clues about the timing. Several places in the Bible talk about 1000 year days. For example Psa 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8 “But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

The Bible says “do not overlook this,” but most people do overlook it. Why not overlook it? Because it is key to knowing when Christ will return! The next few verses then continue to talk about the day of the Lord coming, and it talks about waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Remember, in Gen 2:17, God told Adam that IN THE DAY he ate from the forbidden tree he would die. But, Adam lived for 930 years! Did you ever wonder why Adam didn’t die the same day he ate from the tree? The answer is that God’s days can be a thousand years long.

The Bible indicates that God has allotted mankind SIX one thousand year “DAYS” before a ONE thousand year Sabbath rest ‘DAY’ or millennium to follow (Rev 20:2 or 20:7), starting from the time of Adam and Eve’s sin, up to the time Jesus will return. This follows the principle God gave in Exo 20:11.

Six thousand years in the Bible timeline calculates to a Second Coming date that is fairly soon.

(The Sabbath principle is not nullified by the New Covenant, because the Sabbath was created well before even the Old Exo 24:7 Covenant was made, and therefore it is separate, as part of creation, and stands apart from any covenants that were made.)

Jesus was crucified around TWO “one thousand year days” ago. The exact date is controversial. Calculations range within an 8 year window, between 27 AD to 35 AD.

(I’m well aware of the crucifixion date controversies, and also claims that hundreds of years have been added to or subtracted from our history timeline, but independent Chinese calendar records and also world events don’t back that up. At this stage I still believe it’s been about 2,000 years.)

Additional Confirmation

Before going deeper, let’s compare these two parables of Jesus.

First Matthew 20:1,2 The parable of the labourers in the vineyard:

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

Second, the parable of the good Samaritan:

Luke 10:30-35

And on the morrow when he departed, he (the good Samaritan who represents Jesus) took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

Combining both parables, with 2 Peter 3:8 (one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day), we have

one day = 1,000 years
one penny = one day
the good Samaritan gave two pennies, because he expects to RETURN about TWO days after he left.

Hence, Jesus returns after 2 one thousand year long days, or close to 2,000 Years after he left… I do understand these are merely parables, however…This is not presented as any sort of proof – It’s an interesting observation!
