SIGNS

[tosca1]

The spirit that returns to God is the life force, not the person...

Based on what Jesus and Stephen had said, clearly.....................it's more than just a life force.
There's something personal about it.


Jesus didn't say, "I give your breath back to you, Father."



Instead, He said...........


"Into Your hands I commend MY spirit."

Same with Stephen.


The spirit could be the essence of the person who had it.
The physical body is nothing but just the shell.

 

[devildavid]

Of course, you're speaking from a scoffer's point of view.

You can't say it's superstitious belief since there is a solid - RATIONAL - basis for Christian belief.
Whereas, atheists have yet to come up with single rational basis for atheism.


We won't go to the evidence for GOD argument again........right?

There is no rational basis at all for any religious beliefs or any superstitions. That is the nature of religious beliefs and superstitions. They don’t require a rational basis. Seeing signs supporting your beliefs is not an example of rational thinking. Not having a belief doesn’t require anything but not believing. Rationalizing a belief is not the same thing as having a rational basis for a belief.

 

[Gordy327]

This isn’t the type of signs you are talking about at all. Seeing volcanic activity as a sign of something other than a natural occurrence is irrational. Your analogy fails and you know it. Yes, we all know that dark clouds are a sign of rain. This isn’t the same as seeing random events as a sign of some great apocalypse on the horizon or seeing an eclipse as a sign from a supernatural being. This is just more semantic nonsense that comes up every time any superstitions are called into question. What about a speed limit sign? Huh? It’s all the same, isn’t it? Yeah, sure it is.

Seeing "signs" from paricular events is not only irrational, its a "sign" of an overactive imagination or possibly mental health issues.

 

[tosca1]

The spirit that returns to God is the life force, not the person...

"When you hide your face, they are disturbed.
If you take away their spirit, they die and return to the dust." Psalm 104:29

"His spirit goes out, he returns to the ground;
On that very day his thoughts perish" Psalm 146:4

Furthermore.........


The parable of the rich man and Lazarus shows that what goes back to GOD, are conscious beings.

 

[Revelation]

There is no rational basis at all for any religious beliefs or any superstitions. That is the nature of religious beliefs and superstitions. They don’t require a rational basis. Seeing signs supporting your beliefs is not an example of rational thinking. Not having a belief doesn’t require anything but not believing. Rationalizing a belief is not the same thing as having a rational basis for a belief.

Dave, we walk by Faith and you don't or even try to.

do you think God is going to talk to you if you are not even trying? well do you?


let me add this from another post to help you all with Various Signs....

The street sign says Speed Limit 35. What does this mean?

it's a Sign for David to repent when he is speeding.

this stuff isn't that difficult. have you checked YouTube lately?



Dave, this simple video may open yur eyes to The Signs and why we prolly will be destroyed as an empire very soon. america will be gone after the Rapture mr Dave.

Is this a sign?

 

[tosca1]

"When you hide your face, they are disturbed.
If you take away their spirit, they die and return to the dust." Psalm 104:29

It refers to the physical body.

Without the spirit - the shell is nothing more but dust.

"His spirit goes out, he returns to the ground;

Like this one.
Same thing.

The body isn't what makes the person.
It is THE SPIRIT!

On that very day his thoughts perish" Psalm 146:4

On the day a person dies, of course his thoughts will die with his physical body.
Brain dies. What do you think a brain is?

When the spirit leaves the body, the body becomes an empty shell that will decay and rot and go back to being dust.

What about Jesus’ parable of the rich man and Lazarus?​

This parable was used by Jesus and recorded at Luke 16:19-31. Parables are illustrations that teach moral or spiritual truths. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus was not a real-life account. (Matthew 13:34)

What is the meaning of the story of the rich man and Lazarus?​

The story shows that two groups of people were about to experience a great change in circumstances.

The rich man evidently symbolized the Jewish religious leaders, “who were money lovers.” (Luke 16:14) They listened as Jesus spoke, but they opposed his message. These religious leaders looked down on the common people.—John 7:49.

Lazarus symbolized the common people who accepted Jesus’ message and who were despised by the Jewish religious leaders.

The change in circumstances was drastic for both groups.

The Jewish religious leaders thought that they enjoyed God’s favor. But they experienced death, as it were, when God rejected them and their form of worship because they did not accept Jesus’ message. And they were tormented by the message that Jesus and his followers preached.—Matthew 23:29, 30; Acts 5:29-33.

The common people—who had long been neglected by their religious leaders—were now experiencing favor. Many accepted the Scriptural message that Jesus taught and benefited from it. They now had the opportunity to enjoy God’s favor eternally.—John 17:3.

That's why I don't care much for funerals.

They can wrap me in newspaper - or maybe not even anything - and bury me .................fine with me.


What's the point if we're just going to turn back to dust?

 

[Revelation]

Seeing "signs" from paricular events is not only irrational, its a "sign" of an overactive imagination or possibly mental health issues.

yeah, there will be mental health issues when we suddenly leave and your military is decimated because the Christians are raptured out Gordy.

then America will fall.

of course you will see just what those missiles from putin land will do to our cities. God's protection will be lifted from usa. ...............and then we Toast.

This May Be Why America Disappears From The End Times​

Gordy, the above is a video short, and worth yur time. America will be TOAST, find out why and how; use yur imagination.

Atheists are BEST to move to South America or repent at local church Mourner's Bench.


blessings, Zero days...............and now September is featuring the Grim Reaper. he will knock on all doors.


...well the Grim Reaper is just another sign for all of us, even kids understand this Toon.

ready yet?

SPIRITUAL TRUTHS!

He used the illustration of conscious people for the lesson of what could be our fate AFTER DEATH.

What is the moral of that parable?

Tell me you're not like Redbeer!
That you at least understand that!





That He used conscious people as an illustration, means too, that we'll be conscious of it!

funerals ??? meh, millions of us will not need them at all with the September prophecies hitting so hard this month.

regardless though.

here is a BIG LIST of 18 Signs to watch for the coming month, just in case some may be out to Lunch...

The Big List of 18 Things That Are Going to Happen Within the Next 40 Days...

During the month of September and the early portion of October, we will witness a remarkable convergence of events. Of course this convergence of events just happens to be occurring at a time when it feels like this period of history is building up to some sort of a crescendo. 2025 has been a year of war, it has been “the year of the fire”, it has been “the year of the flood”, it has been a year when we have witnessed a highly unusual number of earthquakes, and it has been a year when horrifying pestilences have been erupting all over the globe. So it has already been a really crazy year. But could it be possible that it is about to get even crazier?

I think that there are good reasons to be on high alert during the weeks ahead. The following is the big list of 18 things that are going to happen within the next 40 days…





blessings all, Zero days. September 21 – A partial solar eclipse, may wanna watch it down in yur Bunker.

[Lycanthrope]

Makes sense that people want to try and assign meaning or a plan to the chaos of the world. Otherwise it's just chaos.

Just make sure you're not prophesying the exact date.....

[Revelation]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOPS forgot to add, the Feast of Trumpets is a 3 day feast

so we can't know the day or the hour, Tosca

but it could happen.

Just make sure you're not prophesying the exact date.....


Blessings, my bro.

thanks.

interesting that the Feast of Trumpets is the ONLY feast that they don't know the exact Day of the hour that it may start if mem serves.

Conservative Jews in Israel watch the sky with a telescope for certain things to occur.




many of us in the Rapture mind set, hang on to this truth. this is what the AI Bot says about Feast of Trumpets....


The Feast of Trumpets is unique among the biblical feasts because its exact day and hour of commencement cannot be predetermined—it depends on the sighting of the new moon, which requires confirmation from witnesses and may be affected by weather conditions or other variables.

Feast of Trumpets: "No One Knows the Day or the Hour"​

• The beginning of the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah/Yom Teruah) is not fixed by date but by the visual sighting of the new moon in Jerusalem, so the Sanhedrin awaited testimony from two witnesses who saw the first sliver of the moon.
• This uncertainty led to the tradition of observing the feast over two days, and it became colloquially known as "the feast of which no one knows the day or the hour".
• Other biblical feasts, by contrast, are set to specific calendar days on which they begin regardless of moon sighting, giving the Feast of Trumpets its distinctive unpredictability.

Significance and Cultural Impact​

• The phrase “no one knows the day or the hour” is a Hebrew idiom directly associated with the Feast of Trumpets, highlighting its mystery and the necessity for vigilance and readiness among observers.
• This idiom is sometimes referenced in Christian eschatology as a symbolic parallel for vigilance awaiting the fulfillment of prophecy, especially in connection with the Second Coming or Rapture.

Blessings, my bro.

again sorry Tosca, if the Rapture hits on Feast of Trumpets during the 3 days....

um, which day?

which hour?

we don't know. get it? interesting that this is the ONLY feast even the Jews don't know the day or the hour.

just some Pre Trib stuff i picked up and am extra alert around Feast of Trumpets.

the rest of you should go down to your Bunkers or maybe a vacation in South America or Antartica, if you catch my drift.


blessings, Zero days and here comes the Feast of Trumpets. ............at the Last Trump, hmmmmm.

[bythoughts]

You got me arguing with an AI. After much badgering, Perplexity was gotten to admit that the Islamic calendar once was aligned with the year by intercalary months. That's why they have two months named Rabi ("spring"), though after the Quran banned the use of intercalary months it can happen any time of year. Anyway, there is an Islamic tradition of sighting the first waxing crescent ('new') moon of Ramadan, and Ramadan was once (at the machine's guess) in September-October just as Rosh Hashanah is. So I think this tradition is common to Muslims and Jews, with (the machine was willing to speculate) a common origin.

Gotta see that one of these days.

 

[Revelation]

Gotta see that one of these days.

it's a short.

when you look at Revelation 18, Mystery Babylon refers to some nation i believe. he goes thru a few theories, and i have settled on usa being mystery babylon. he has a longer version, so i may have to look it up, shorts tend to leave me hanging.

no other nation or empire fits IMHO

kinda why usa is not featured in Prophecy after the rapture.




blessings, Zero days.............did i mention the destruction of Mystery Babylon?
