Pastor delivered an interesting message yesterday..

[ironglow]

  He delivered a message nearly 3,000 years old, but possibly as up to date as today..

  It is a message fearful preachers may not touch... No date setting, just reviewing, comparing scripture.

Two Lutheran preachers in two services delivered vastly different style and content messages.

The one from Maundy Thursday is listed above but the one on Easter Sunday delivered , and I think I may have heard it before, the same old, same old, every one is different but that is OK, type BS, which had nothing to day with the day Jesus saved us from our sins, IF we accept the One True Faith.

I had not been to the second church, although they moved a mile away, in 30 years, slight chance I ever go back; stopped going to it, withing walking distance then, as it was more of a Good Old Boys club than Christian Service type congregation.

The Lutheran Service in this church reminded me of the Roman Catholic service; Echolalia, is part of most all liturgies but his one was different from any Lutheran service I ever was in before (It was Missouri Synond) with people speaking Mina Bird type auto response even during the sermon, plus this church any way has adopted and fully modern style of liturgy and Bible verses (Although the Roman Catholic church changed from old English to modern seven or eight years back) .

Change for the sake of change is one of Satan's greatest tools.

IG, you'll have to give me a synopsis, my sound wouldn't work on that video.
Maybe you have to be on facebook to get sound.  And I'm not.

  Pastor was basically comparing todays activities with those described by Ezekiel in chapters 38 and 39.
  Although he doesn't venture any time frame, except that it could happen soon, and things seem to be lining up that way.  Still, no time set.

  There is little doubt though, who the active players will be, since there in (Ezek 38:1-6) some of the nations are mentioned quite clear, since they use the same names today..others will cause us to look up the ancient terms for nations that exist today, and will be part of that combine which will attack Israel.

   Of course, it will be a horrific battle, but Israel will not be moved..God will put "hooks in the jaws" of the aggressors (Ezek 38:4), and draw them to battle, as their weapons fail (Ezek 39:2,3).

  Note:  One interesting verse (Ezek 39:6)  God says he will send fire upon Magog.  Magog is located where today we find the Caucasus Mts. and the Russian steppes, parts of the now defunct USSR, along with Armenia.  ..Just some food for thought.

Well, it’s just a few short years till Iran will attack Israel.
And we may have to nuke Putin back into ancient history.

Come quickly Lord JESUS.

 ..And of course, Iran will not be alone!  Whether or not this is "the time", Russia is forming a coalition including Iran, Syria and several other nations in the area.

    38 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:

6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
