When David!

As you asked when will it be!
Well when you see the Blossom you know spring is here and summer close.
When leaves fall Autumn is here and winter close.

Matthew 24 says: 3 While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: 'Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presencec and of the conclusion of the system of things'? 4 In answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you, 5 for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. 6 You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet.7 'For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortagesi and earthquakes in one place after another.8 All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress. 12 and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold. 14  And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations,q and then the end will come.
2 Timothy 3:1-4
3. But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3. having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4. betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God,
Revelation 11:18
18. But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time came for the dead to be judged and to reward your slaves the prophets and the holy ones and those fearing your name, the small and the great, and to bring to ruin those ruining* the earth'.

everything ok daz ...how was the holiday

Holiday was good mate. More scenic than visiting. Hills and dales and sea side. When visiting Dumfries and Castle Douglas. Also a rock museum, which I wasn't too keen on. Joyce loves rocks/ stones etc. So took her. Glad I went, however, was very informative and plenty to see.
Bought her a ring she liked. First holiday I had this year I think. Cancelled 3 or so. Now hopefully will be going Poole soon.

We enjoy looking at places and getting drift of others towns, their works etc. Going Scotland and seeing whole roads of shops boarded up. No work shows only too well Thatcher's legacy.
likewise the devastation and devise of North and South.
Just bought another freezer. had three. Will be filling up with meat etc. before November. Likewise Tins etc. from Aldi's and Lido's. Prices will be rocketing very regardless whether we come out or stay in. Profiteering and any excuse to raise prices for selfish gains will be employed whole heartedly I fear.

yes true with the Brexit lark our freezer is full and plenty tins in stock also large bags of rice and pasta...got plenty corn in for birds too...glad you had a good break and enjoyed it my favorite stone is malachite it looks really nice in a ring ,ear rings or broach or necklace for the ladies ...have worked in poole many moons ago its 70 miles south of me on the coast and a nice town very clean to or at least it was atb

It is all coming along nicely Daz.

Every paper full of self gratification, all the Sun thinks about is sex and never thinks some people will be goaded into anti behaviour and not in a pleasant manner, the pc brigade want anything to go, as long it is not normal,

Israel said if Iran got near having a nuclear capability they would take action.

This could be the start of all nations turning against them and Israel on the brink of defeat being divinely saved.

Lets just see how the prospect evolves.

Regards.

Human nature will not change. Can be bent at times but always reverts to basic instincts. Wars will continue in one form or another. Nuclear or media. War is war. No one person can change it. Live for today. Be thankful for what you have.

True Hal … but not a jot of realism of facts I'm afraid.

Please watch this through. Then remember, probably more have been killed in the last 11 years, since this video was made, than in all the wars together before.  Including, of course, the world wars.

Indeed millions are killed every month at present.
So yes, be thankful you, me, aren't involve YET! Yes, we soon will be.
Just look at the devastation spouted every day on the news.  Then realise that that is a tiny percentage of the total EVERY day.
Never mind the diseases, man-made and more etc.

100.000 babies, at least every short spell are murdered, via abortions - not going into the ones for one reason or another that may be a blessing etc.
Times more - till recently - than world wars.  
In Rwanda for example in less than three months a quarter of a million women were raped and killed... then it got worse.
Please don't say that we only ever heard regards the past, and there  has always been wars etc. True,  but they are well documented too ... but NOTHING like the present day!

How many nuclear bombs, and still counting … and not counting them exploded in space trying to get a hole in Alien Belt so one day we can get to the moon lol.

Israel isn't the divine nation. They were disowned in 32A.D. since, and after disowning the Christ. It is not a state, but a spiritual Israel that is to be, and will be shielded at Armageddon!

The Jews were promised that they would return to Israel, the reference to divinity is God's interference in the final attack on the Jews, and not referring to Israel as a Nation

Regards.

Throughout Jesus’ ministry, he taught about God’s Kingdom more than any other subject. For centuries, his followers have prayed for that Kingdom to come.
God’s Kingdom is a real government established by Jehovah God. “The kingdom of God” is also called “the kingdom of heaven” in the Bible, since it rules from heaven. (Mark 1:14, 15; Matthew 4:17, King James Version) It shares many attributes of human governments, yet it is superior to them in every way.
Subjects. Anyone who does what God requires can be a subject of God’s Kingdom, without regard for ancestry or birthplace.—Acts 10:34, 35.

Modern Israel’s secular attitude contrasts sharply with the situation in 537 B.C.E. Misty. Back then, the nation of Israel was indeed ‘reborn’ as if in a day after being devastated and depopulated by the Babylonians 70 years earlier. At that time, Isaiah 66:8 was strikingly fulfilled when the Persian conqueror of Babylon, Cyrus the Great, authorized the return of the Jews to their homeland.​—Ezra 1:2.

In the year 33 C.E., the fleshly nation of Israel lost its claim to be God’s chosen nation when it rejected Jehovah’s Son, the Messiah. The Messiah himself put it this way: “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the killer of the prophets and stoner of those sent forth to her . . . Look! Your house is abandoned to you.” (Matthew 23:37, 38) Jesus’ statement came true when in 70 C.E., Roman legions  destroyed Jerusalem along with its temple and priesthood. But what was to become of God’s purpose to have a “special property out of all other peoples, . . . a kingdom of priests and a holy nation”?​—Exodus 19:5, 6.

Next war probably Iran and USA. Have been to Africa and observed a lot of atrocities. Major Mad Mike Hoare and his folks were in the Congo back then. 60's.
Black Jack Schram (?) and others also. I do not wish to see stuff like that.
How to avoid it? Hide!!

who said god promised the jews anything............? oh yes, the jews

sorry misty had to say it, no offence meant to you .

Never take offence David, so long as lies are not involved.

There are 70 passages in the Bible stating God will make sure the Jews return to the Promised Land.


Regards.

ah yes, the bible ........another jewish creation .

My brother - in laws brother - a cousin actually but brought up with them - served under Major Mad Mike Hoare. He officially took the wrap for doing as told. Again, such devastation against women and kids are still so very prevalent. They threw kids and babies out of windows, etc.. Rape and carnage. Some say it turned and ended the war and did its job.
So yes Hal we don't want to see the like again ... however, then much worse is being done in very many places every day.
U.S.A.'s Orange was inhuman. Squashing the Hungarian uprising in 1956 - about the same time as Mad Mick was … Well, cruelty prevails everywhere!
How do/did these so-called leaders sleep at night? Because their consciences are seared. (Seared definition, to burn or char the surface of... Like branding cattle. A red hot branding iron on the stead for at least 12 seconds. Then the fur, fat and skin and flesh become one. Charming!
When we see such as the devastating bombing, pictures of, say Syria, and the terrorising of women and kids and innocent men workers, how can the likes say Chameleon and May and other leaders send over more bomber to inflict more hardship against the innocence? Yeah, or course Money! Power!

Which they did Misty, and done so. But that was/is all in the old testament times. Not prevalent to today in regards what Jesus taught and promised.

Now as Jesus was departing from the temple, his disciples approached to show him the buildings of the temple. In response he said to them: 'Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, by no means will a stone be left here upon a stone and not be thrown down'.
Now - as we have all prayed many time 'Thy Kingdom come, on EARTH as in Heaven' ( Perfect).
Now it - as Jesus says, it will be an Spiritual nation from every tribe and tongue world wide.
Jews will die like all and any others at Armageddon. That is why the J.W.'S ARE NOW IN EVERY land teaching and preaching, enlightening why and how they can gain ever lasting life in paradise under Jesus and God's rule.

That is why, simply. at Matthew 28 16 onwards says:
However, the 11 disciples went to Galʹi·lee to the mountain where Jesus had arranged for them to meet. 17  When they saw him, they did obeisance, but some doubted. 18  Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. 19  Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20  teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things'.
So nothing in regards the Jews being special, but true believers worldwide1 A spiritual name bearing his name! Jehovah.

Jesus states at John 5:28, 29:
28.Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29. and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.

This means world wide resurrection from the beginning of man kind about 6000 years of all races, tongue and origin.

It is estimated that 6 billion have lived and died. There are nearly 7 billion alive today.

There is enough food crops grown each year - and much destroyed to keep prices up, to feed 13 billion. It used to be to feed 20 billion, but the w/f/o. said that that was uncalled for and such a waste, and put a stop to that..
