actually, if you were to read it over there, you'd probably suggest moving it back here. 18 messages since last nite, and none of it was really a conversation.
Hope you all had a good 4th. I made through it all without blowing up any fingers or toes but did obtain a few hangovers over my week off. Kinda reminded me of the hunt since I usually take a week off at that time as well and pretty much end up drinking most of the time anyway. At least I'm outside each week. Funny quotes in here lately :) Hi back Scribe, You're confusing me THX. Ares - I bet you LOVE building implosions. I'm with you on the destruction thing.
When I was in Reno, we took a day trip around Lake Tahoe. Our first stop was in the former town of Boca, CA. There are no buildings left standing, but there is a 'park' with historical markers and photos of the way it used to look. Our reason for going to Boca: GEOCACHE
I finally used my GPS, and my wife found the cache. We took a baseball, casino cards, and a pass to the 2001 All-Star game. We left 4 packs of basketball cards, Timberwolves stickers, and a Bert Blyleven card.
We went to Tahoe Donner, Donner's Pass, Fanny Bridge (HUGE fish !), a very cool beach, Harvey's casino (Hard Rock Cafe), Carson City, Virginia City, up and down the mountains, very nice trip. The color of Lake Tahoe is unbelievable... great fun.
...not much there yet, but anyone slightly interested can surf around and find out what it's all about. My son and I are going to look in Carver Lake Park tomorrow, on our way to Treasure Island.
Galatians 4:8 (NIV) Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods . But now that you know God --or rather are known by God-- how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them [ rebel angels pretending to be gods ] all over again? You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.
Jeremiah 10:11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
Jeremiah 10:15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Scripture talks of this "time of visitation". Sometime in the future God will judge these gods who are not gods, these beings who have not made the heavens and earth yet seek to be compared to God the Creator.
Isaiah 26:21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity
Isaiah 24:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high [ the rebel angelic hosts] , and the kings of the earth upon the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days SHALL THEY BE VISITED.
There will be a time in the future when the angelic hierarchy, the high ones, the "gods who are not gods", who are also the same beings pretending to be aliens, will be stranded on the earth.
Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Until the time when satan and his angels are imprisoned on the earth, as prisoners in a dungeon, they maintain access to "their place" in heaven. We are told that satan is not stuck in hell, nor imprisoned yet on earth, for he constantly accuses man before the throne of God:
Rev. 12:10 ... for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Satan is currently allowed audience before God where he makes his accusations -- the battle in heaven which results in satan and his angels being imprisoned on earth has not yet occurred. The Book of Job makes it clear that satan and his angels still have "their place" in heaven, they are still allowed audience before God. Satan still travels freely through the earth, he is not yet imprisoned, and he presents himself before God.
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
The Bible gives a specific time frame as to when the rebel angels will be stranded on Earth. Daniel's 70th Week, the seven year countdown to Christ's return which has commonly been called the "Tribulation", is divided into two haves of 1260 days each. The casting down of satan, the dragon, occurs at a time in which 1260 days REMAIN. This would put the War in Heaven and satan's defeat at the mid-point of Daniel's 70th Week, at the midpoint of the seven year countdown to Christ's return.
Rev. 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast out onto the earth, he pursued the woman (Israel) who bore the male child (Jesus Christ) and those redeemed by him... and the woman was given two wings like a great eagle that she might fly to a place prepared for her where she is nourished for 1,260 days (3 and 1/2 years).
Satan knows that at the midpoint of the tribulation he and his "armies of the high place" will be cast down to earth, with no longer a "place still found for them in heaven." Satan and the rebel angels will be gathered, "a gathering of prisoners in a dungeon", and the earth will be their prison. God's judgment, His wrath, will then be poured out on the earth. Judgment is God's reason for visiting the inhabitants of the earth [the rebel angels cast out of heaven and of course the minions of antichrist]. The point where the "dwellers on high" or "the high places" are thrown to earth does not take place at the beginning of the seven years of the last week of history, but in the midst of that seven years. This middle point of the tribulation is when the battle in heaven between Michael and his angels, and Satan and his angels is decided. Satan is thrown to the earth and held there to be judged in Rev. 12:7. At this point John hears a loud voice of a multitude in heaven:
Rev.12:10 NOW has come the salvation, and the power and the kingdom of our God... for the accuser of our brethren has been cast down, he who accused them before our God day and night.... Because of this be glad, the heavens, and you tabernacling [temporarily dwelling in them, as those raptured at the midpoint of the tribulation will come back to earth with Christ at Armageddon] in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea because the devil has gone down to you in great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.
This passage describes the devil as enraged, having lost his battle with Michael and the good angels and permanently been thrown out of heaven to the earth. Why would there be a battle in the heavens at this point, 1260 days into the seemingly successful reign of antichrist? The battle is the last ditch effort of satan to prevent mortals, men made of dirt, from being resurrected to take the place vacated by the glorious rebel angels themselves.
Notice that both Isaiah 26 and Revelation 12 link the resurrection and the casting down of Satan simultaneously, just after 1260 days into antichrist's rule. This fact disallows the inaccurate belief that Satan and his angels have already been cast down to earth (a Mormon contention), and theories that the rapture takes place at the beginning of the seven years or some point significantly later than the midpoint of seven years.
Isaiah 26:19-21 explains that the tribulation judgment of the earth commences at the point immediately after the resurrection of the saints.
Your dead ones shall live, my dead body; they shall rise up. Awake and sing, dust dwellers; for the dew of light is your dew; and the earth shall cast out the rapha (to be judged). Come My people, go in your rooms and shut your doors behind you. Hide for a little moment, until the fury passes. For, behold Jehovah comes out of His place to visit iniquity on the dweller of the earth.
God will be visiting the dwellers of the earth at a time JUST AFTER the resurrection of the faithful.
We've all heard the phrase "Ronald Makes it Magic". It is perhaps the cheeziest company slogan ever made. The only magic Ronald makes is magical clones of me and you! Here's how it works. Everytime you go to McDonalds there is a black, burnt, shriveled up french fry at the bottom of the French Fry Box. Naturally, you take it and throw it on the floor. But when you touch it, it picks up some DNA from your finger. After McDonalds closes, Ronald McDonald sweeps up the burnt french fries. He dives into a small hole deep within the ball pit. Down there is where thousands of McDonalds engineers work. By an unknown process, They turn the DNA into a robotic being, which can regurgitate beef patties, french fries, and other McDonalds items. These beings have IQs no higher than 10. These completed robotic beings become McDonalds employees. The regurgitate the food you want and put them in a machine that radiates them and puts a chemical in them that makes you want more and lowers your brain power. It won't be long until the world is populates with these robtic beings/McDonalds employees. The only way to prevent this for now is to not eat at McDonalds. If you have an idea of how to stop this ruckus Please email us as soon as possible.
Sup Jake? Summer goin' good for ya? Only 160 days left now. I can feel the fever already. I was just out at Como last weekend for the Disc Golf World Pro tournament. It was packed. No place to park anywhere. It reminded me of last years hunt only 80 degrees warmer.
OK, you can't win money, and there are no clues, but geocaching is a LOT of fun. I can't tell you how much fun I had in St' Louis Park yesterday. I knew where the cache was, so I took a 'shortcut', the quickest way to the end of the lake. UH HUH !
Cattails, swamp, bugs and no where to go. So I backtrack, follow the trail, and when I figure I'm in the area, I look down and there it was. The sun was hot and I hadn't followed rule # 1 (Bring Water!) so I had quite a thirst going.
democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner. freedom is a well-armed sheep contesting the decision.
LOL!
you've never heard that before?
oh, and why are we carrying on this discussion over here and not in shoot the breeze?
nevermind. anyone seen shoot the breeze lately?
Nope, never heard it before.
I don't know why we're having it here instead of there.
Maybe we should pack up our marbles and move over there?
actually, if you were to read it over there, you'd probably suggest moving it back here. 18 messages since last nite, and none of it was really a conversation.
We could go to the "Helpful Hints" thread?
nah. way too much unread stuff over there :)
So hit the recent button and skip it!
where would the fun be in that?
have posts, will slog.
I see
I see said the blind man to his deaf wife as he picked up his hammer and saw.
LOL!
I love that saying.
Really, I do
that's good. it'd be better though if it were more like as he got behind the wheel of his car :-D.
see that's my destructive side coming out.
Morning Ralph
afternoon sam
where's junior?

But then again...I am VIOLENT J
Dog...why you wanna END hostility?? sometimes its a good thing!
It grows tiring after a while.

yeah
Mornin' Ian, Ares, Violent J, Scribe, .........
Whut up?
Just clowning around
Ok, it is so HOT out today, 99 degrees or so, that I had to think cool thoughts. Slogging throught six months of posts made me feel a lot less steamy!
DD - What a cooler idea! Just about 6 months to go and we'll be digging in the snow again!
Only 162 days to go........
Sup Jake? Summer goin' good for ya? Only 160 days left now. I can feel the fever already. I was just out at Como last weekend for the Disc Golf World Pro tournament. It was packed. No place to park anywhere. It reminded me of last years hunt only 80 degrees warmer.
terry you're gonna wait till january to dig in the snow?
scary.
Ares - We'll probably be shoveling it long before we're digging in it...but shoveling isn't nearly as much fun as digging. Ya dig?
OK, you can't win money, and there are no clues, but geocaching is a LOT of fun. I can't tell you how much fun I had in St' Louis Park yesterday. I knew where the cache was, so I took a 'shortcut', the quickest way to the end of the lake. UH HUH !
