Read the Book a bit more carefully and you'll learn that all who believe in Christ and commit there life to him become children of Israel by adoption. About not being qualified to do Gods work. Have you EVER heard of a miracle being done which was not asked for? By miricle I mean an unquestionable supernatural fix for a problem. Christ assigned the job of ASKING to all who call Him their master. Supernatural power granted to men for asking. Not done by them but at their request.
By the way. That "Revelation thread" was about a man who prediceted the return of Christ on a specific date, and it will probably happen again, as it has many times down through history. So, I'm going to write very briefly about the matter.
As things heat up politically in the USA, and the economy crashes to the bottom, Christians accross the nation will be stating their belief and hope in a "rapture" to take them out of the coming misery. This because the prevailing teaching of churchanity in the US predicts such a rapture. It was taught in Russia and in China before Communists took those nations over, and many of the people who believed it cursed God when it didn't happen. Don't let that happen to you! You can avoid such a horrible letdown by simply reading what Christ very clearly taught about the matter. Use a King James bible with christs words in read to make the research real easy, and simply read through what he said toward the end of the 4 gospels. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Take it just like you read it and don't swallow anybodies teaching if it doesn't fit what you read. The Bible is the living word of God, so ask him to make it live as you read it and he will if you mean it when you ask.
I'm asking you to look especially for these things which he promised. His followers WILL suffer tribulation. He WILL return without warning, in the blink of an eye, and ALL will see him. When people say here is Christ, there is Christ, DO NOT GO OUT TO MEET HIM! He specifically states that he will come and get his followers. Just WAIT! No man knoweth the hour or day of his return. (So don't try to guess it or believe those who make predictions!) Christs teachings describe when the time is close, and that by the things that are going on right now, for the first time in history, we will know his coming is close.
If you like the 'rapture' word, I expect there is no harm in using it, but plan on getting what christians have gotten for 2000 years and you won't be dissapointed if the "glorious rapture" doesn't take you out of tribulation.
Believe me, Judy and I have gone through tribulation for the last 12 years since we were put in prison, but Christ has gone through it with us, and given us the power to stand. By that I know he will be with us through anything else that comes. Remember he is not a respector of persons, so he will carry you through whatever comes also. If you are found faithful, he will pick you up when he returns, and not until, whether you believe in the american taught version of rapture or consider it false as I do.
To many, sickness, accidents divorce etc will be all the tribulation they will ever get, and that can be as severe as anyone has ever gotten. That kind, which in fact comes from the pit, has been going on for as long as men have walked the earth. Just be strong and ask for supernatural help, whatever fall on you. He has given it to Judy and me for these past 12 years, enough that we can stand, and take more, and He will give it for you.
