Thank you Andrew Kingsley. Enjoy your comments. We take for granted what was once there. Seek his word now!

The Antichrist decieves us by impersonating Christ.

Fred Scanlan's comment on 2021-06-20 00:23:17:

Sin brings death! Spiritual death! Being in the body of Christ is where every believing Christian needs too be at all times. When we fail of course the Lord forgives. When spiritual death happens to us because of sin, it might only come for a minute, after prayer and seeking forgiveness the Holy Spirit we once again take its place and forgives us!

This is the 5 G of God. It is sharper than a two edged sword, dividing the good from the Bad. Satan cannot know these things, He does not have the power to look into the soul, He judges things from the outside! This saving faith , given through the holy spirit is yours, produces streaks of power that enlightens the world, even saving some, who , may learn the truth! The love of God in Christ! This is the will of God for us and man kind! Go and teach all nations in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

THIS IS NO FALSE PROPHESYIT IS HAPPENING SOON's comment on 2021-06-19 15:26:17:

I think the Antichrist will try to fool people, that he has everybody's "best interests"

He'll pretend to represent everyone. He'll be keeping track of everything we read online, everything we type online, everything we order online (even food). Nothing is private anymore.

Cookies are tracking everything.

Phone calls, texts, emails: no matter the time of day or night, are followed by TECH GIANTS. HiThey write the programs so they can do these things. Their only rewards are, they are ABLE to do these things. They do not care where all this is leading to.

Internet Devices can all be Tracked to where they are by GPS. Satellites in outer space can zoom into your location. There are so many satellites in earths atmosphere that they can barely launch space exploration vehicles anymore.

How do you think driverless cars are being driven? Our cars probably have barcodes all over the insides. They are flashing barcode images on our tv's so we can hold up our phones to the image; and it will transfer your money, to whatever you are buying.

If we think we are hiding our extreme porn habits, poking around into other peoples lives through internet, YOU ARE DECEiVED, already.

Even little children can do this; they all have their own cell phones!

There is no such thing as PRIVACY anymore. They can even monitor who is a Christian. That's why Jesus is COMING SOON for His Church! All over this globe we live on.

Global Warming is just a "keep them busy and focused on a LIE". After the Rapture, After the Tribulation, after JESUS completes ALL prophesy left to accomplish:

This Earth will be razed with fire and cleansed, down to the core (to destroy even the tunnels we digged).

Only Believing, Born Again believers, will see the new heavens and New Earth. If that is what you desire_you need to believe God's Word_get yourself in Jesus Christ__and hang on tight. There's no more time to "waffle around" with believing you can outsmart the Antichrist, or God.

Facebook is now not allowing Christian content to play on their site. Even virtual church is now being censored..this verse came to mind today as I saw that many Christian and Jewish videos will no longer play ..

J.Jones.'s comment on 2020-03-25 20:16:21:

The scripture Amos 8: 11 is surely prophetic, for in these times with the almost complete shutdown of houses of worship , fellowship among believers is essentially virtual and not in person. Hearing God's word has always been -by way of the ' spoken word'. Now for the near or foreseeable future , God's word may or will be by reading -for those who possess a Bible , or online ,or previous recorded sermons... but for most , it will be virtual , for the live spoken word cannot be duplicated. Who thought that it happen this way . The houses of worship have been shut by this pestilence - which in a strange way ....fulfills the Prophecy of Amos.

I think of the dark ages when I think of a famine of the word. I think another famine of the word is coming, but hasn 't come yet. When the Bible and preaching the gospel is forbidden worldwide, that will be the famine of the word.

Al Sikkema's comment on 2014-02-03 06:50:46:

I think the famine is here. When I compare the ministered word I heard when I was a boy and the respect I saw then compared to the watered down sermons and lack of reverence now, I see the famine of the Holy Spirit and his grace. I can always get a sense of how it was before the famine by reading sermons from the Puritans.

On this days that Famine will come to pass. Coz watever God said shall come to pass. Like king Saul. Be wachfull.

I think we have been in this famine for a very long time
It started with the printed word and it's interpertation. And
Will ,,, get worse as this age continues.

Doris Early's comment on 2013-07-28 11:29:44:

The scripture says GOD sends the famine...THE FAMine is NOT WANTING TO KNOW or HEAR what God's Word teaches...especially in times of prosperity,AS TODAY.

These days are definitely here. All these new versions of the Bible are causing so much confusion which is not of God.(1Cor 14:33). If the King James Bible is God's inspired perfect word, which it is, why change it?

Harold Robinson's comment on 2010-12-21 19:08:04:

I think the days are here. I went in search of a nice King James Version study Bible the other day for my daughter for a Christmas present. I spent a good part of the day, because most stores, even Christian bood stores have filled their shelves with every other version known to man.
