"Former atheist Kirsten Powers is now a Bible-believing Christian champion"

When a person encounters God.... it changes them permanently. Kirsten Powers was an uber-liberal atheist top news reporter. Her testimony mirrors my own in many respects. When I encountered God I had just finished my education in Sociology. My interest in Social Work to help and comfort the poor was very high.

Perhaps her testimony will shed some light on the kind of dynamic, interactive faith that Christians have . It is sometimes hard to explain except to describe the kinds of things that God does with it . Kirsten's story is pretty typical when God happens.

The Nations Worship the King

Zech. 14:16 And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 17 And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain. 18 If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the Lord strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

Just expanding on a part of tec openig post, the Millenium will be characterized by the earth having many nations and Jesus Christ ruling as The LORD in Jerusalem. When I first read this scripture I was amazed at what a far cry this picture was from the simplistic picture the WT sold me as a youth.

I know this is a side note, but were you all aware that many European and South American Countries actually pay the Church out of the taxes they collect? I just found this a couple years ago and it floored me.

this is what i found:.

There is little difference between JW's and a Godless Naturalism worldview.

the Bible has Jesus ruling since about 33 CE. And his rule extending 'until all his enemies have been subdued.' It is the ones raised up in Rev 20:4 that "rule as kings with the Christ for a thousand years."

Good point.

even though the bible says nobody knows the day or the hour, if this world is still around around the 2200's, i bet the year 2239 will have many people awaiting something big, since that will be the year 6000 on the jewish calander.

I'll start a new cliche': "Stay alive till thirty-nine"

Now if anyone ever says this ... remember I said it first here.

Good thing I don't believe in hell any more than you believe in pro-choice.

Good thing Justice is not dependent on what anyone believes. Justice is blind.
