It's not my mother-tongue...as you might recall...but I had hoped to have been fairly clear...
I just gave that verse...because on the weekend I just thought about it again...and I don't have so much time to be very elaborate about everything, which is rather clear to me.
...and there's just plenty out there in the internet & in form of books and I believe, that HE will guide the hungry soul/mind anyway.
I am not so sure, that you're hungry for the biblical truth...no offense meant...just by very scarce observation...so I could be wrong????
I was under the impression, that you kind of scoff at verses showing...at least me... the direction the world seems to take...slowly but surely.
I would be thankful to be pointed out mistakes in any of my conclusions...but since TFI...1993 and the 2 endtime witnesses and a host of other misconceptions in and out of TFI...I am mighty careful to read anything into scripture, what is not absolutely there...
It's your prerogative to dismiss what's written in the Bible...for whatever reason you might have.
Calamities are not only befalling the islands in the future...how near that is...how do I know?...I have just "intelligent guesses"...
The seas will be polluted, the trees dieing...I mean that is already happening...hardly anything then left for the angels...just a bit of sarcasm here.
So I am not reading any particular judgement into it...the people on which the tower of Siloam fell
were not more wicked then others Luke 13:4
Experiencing grave hardships doesn't automatically meaning being considered a worse sinner...to me that is not really proportional...
On the other hand, Japan seems to be one of the hardest places to gain some ground evangelising...from the little I have read and heard about
Some slogan of this year of the German Lutherans...if I remember right is: "It was me"...we all killed Jesus...not just the Jews as some have mistakingly put the blame just more on them...more then on themselves...it could seem.
He died for all our sins...so if Japan got hit now...I feel also guilty myself...plus deep pity for them.
I said...I don't think you'll be impressed by any verses along that line...or that in particular...and if others are reading the post...I hope they'll believe in like manner (or later)...as I do or show me the error in my believe-system...another wonderful outcome of sharing thoughts and faith in posts.
Have a wonderful "endtime"...you can also read that as: have a wonderful time...or life...life and time seem to go along??!!
