I was threatened with expulsion for a few things, Once for buying a knife. My mom wanted me out, It was a pocket knife with a big, 6 inch blade. My Step dad told her no, and that i could keep the knife. She wasn’t happy with the answer, so she took It to an Elder, He saw the knife, and got excited, and then proceeded to show her his knife collection. I loved it. It was total vindication A few years later the Elder DA’d. Must have been the knifes.

Dinah: what bad association?

by acsot in

okay, so i was at the ministry school/service meeting last night (as to why and all that see my answer to blondies watchtower review this week), which actually was not totally horrendous since i brought some essay questions to work on for a university class im taking.

i probably looked so theocratic (hehehe).

so during the service meeting theres a part on bad association, being careful at school, at work, blah blah blah.

war....he said bible prophecies are obviously being fulfilled and since war is imminent, it's time to get back into the "truth".

he went to his first meeting last sunday.

now, all he says he has to do is stop smoking, stop his pornography addiction, stop going out with prostitutes, start reading and researching more, and evidently, he has stopped engaging in homosexuality.

gentile times?

by l3gi0n in

luke 21:20-28 (niv) .

20"when you see being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near.

21then let those who are in flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city.

l3gi0n

Thanks for you comments, I had come to the conclusion that the gentile times may have in-fact started when was overthrown by , by using Ezekiel 21:25-27

Ezekiel 21 (AMP)
25 And you, O dishonored and wicked one [Zedekiah], the prince of Israel, whose day will come at the time of your final reckoning and punishment,
26 Thus says the Lord God: Remove the [high priest's] miter or headband and take off the [king's] crown; things shall not remain as they have been; the low is to be exalted and the high is to be brought low.
27 I will overthrow, overthrow, overthrow it; this also shall be no more until He comes Whose right it is [to reign in judgment and in righteousness], and I will give it to Him

Luke 1:31-33 brings out that Jesus is the rightful hare to the Davidic kingdom.

Luke 1 (NIV)
31 You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end."

So with this I can see where my Jw thinking pays off, Everything makes since, well sort of I still dont get how the 7 times are tied into it,

However when looking at Luke 21 24 again, I see something different. Look closely

Luke 21 (NASB)
20 "But when you see surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near.
21 "Then those who are in must flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of the city must leave, and those who are in the country must not enter the city;
22 because these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled.
23 "Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land and wrath to this people;
24 and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

Verses, 22 and 24 both have something I managed to over look. Verse 22 states that All things which are written will be fulfilled. If it were yet to be fulfilled, that would indicate that the prophecy had not been fulfilled as of the time of Jesus speaking. If Jesus was living in the gentile times, the things that were written, would already be fulfilled.The second thing I failed to notice was in 24, Jesus is still speaking of an event that is in the future, one that has yet to happen. He does not say they fell by the edge of the sword, and were led captive into all the nation; (Babylon) and Jerusalem was to be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled

That would Now leave me under the impression, that The gentile times did not in fact start until 70 CE, and would end at the second commeing of christ.
