September Events Sh'mita & Blood Moons - SEPTEMBER 23, 2015 Q&A Interview with Chuck Mis
Recorded SEPTEMBER 23, 2015 Q&A Interview with Chuck Missler and Ron Matsen from The River Lodge at Reporoa, New Zealand.
TOPICS DISCUSSED
> About September Events attracting a lot of attention
Chuck Missler calls most of it nonsense or exaggeration (referring to the so-called Sh'mita and Blood Moons)
A financial crisis still coming irregardless of whether people believe the Sh’mita or not
Reminds us the bible says “God gave us not a spirit of fear but of power and a sound mind”
Explains 2 Chronicles 7:14 is addressed to the Church “If my people who are called by My Name…”
God’s abandonment wrath has already begun irregardless of blood moons, etc.
On Sept. 28 Blood Moons, CM says God doesn’t use natural phenomenon to highlight supernatural events. Believes the adaptation of blood moon predictions are naive and misleading. It also discredits legitimate prophecy
Emphasizes Hermeneutical Hygiene, keeping the word of God separate from secular info to protect us from deception
People becoming more focused on signs rather than on scripture
> Question about countries that will not fall under the Antichrist… Where is the safest country to be in?
In Daniel 11:41 3 countries are mentioned which will escape the Antichrist’s
> Question about destiny and free will
It is a classic paradox (the conflict between predestine and free will) only when viewed from within the time domain. God is outside the dimensionality of time and knows the end from the beginning
> Question: Is their any hope in the after life in the judgment of unbelievers?
None. The hope in the after life is centred in the person of Jesus Christ while one is alive. Rejection of Christ has unthinkable consequences
The Importance of finding our calling after we are saved
> Questions about where do we do after we die? Where do we go after the Rapture? What happens to us when Jesus returns.
We will be in with Him. We will receive our resurrection bodies (1 John 3:2)
God asks us everyday the same question in a different way: “Do you trust me?”
> Questions about Angels and Demons: Can Angels move about in bodily form (vs. demons which seek embodiment)? When Satan entered Judas, did he embody him like a demon?
Yes angels can move about in their own bodies. Re: Satan embodying Judas, it seems to be an exception with Satan being a super-angel who may have unique abilities
> Does Old Testament record all of God’s miracles?
Obviously not necessarily.
> Question about whether tithing is applicable to the New testament church?
Titihing should not be based on legalism. But it is appropriate to tithe. Jesus made reference to it and didn’t deny it.
Quotes Gods challenge in Malachi “to test Him…”
Compares God of the bible who delights in making and keeping promises against Allah who is capricious
Tithe means 1st 10th belonging to God.
> Nahum 1:11 - Could it refer to an Islamic Antichrist?
It could but not necessarily
There’s many evidences that AC will be Islamic but it could involve more than Islam
> Question about Equidistant Letter Sequences
It's a clumsy form of encryption useful for authentication.
Gives example of Genesis 38 having David’s family tree encrypted in the Hebrew long before his time
Believes God gave Moses the Torah “letter by letter”
Discusses the Forbidden texts to Jews all refer to Messiah but are rejected because of Talmudic influence (Talmud itself was corrupted).
66 books of the bible demonstrates integrity of design
The importance of studying the 7 Epistles of Jesus to the 7 churches in the book of Revelation
> Why did Jesus address seven letters to the angels of the churches instead of to the members of the churches?
Says irrelevant since angels are messengers
Emphasises letters are for all churches and all believers
> Job 42:7 - Do we discount all that Job’s friends say to him?
Need to apply what’s in the bible properly. Job’s friends sounded good but were wrong: They ascribed Job’s problems to sin
Ron suggests Jobs friend’s conclusions sounds like prosperity gospel teaching that teaches “suffering” is not God’s will
> Daniel 12:12 - What is the 1,335 days?
Chuck is not sure but he suspects and speculates it may pertain to the period of the establishment of the Kingdom
Prophecy is not given to predict the future but to glorify God when it occurs
But we should be responsible to prepare for coming storms indicated by prophecy.
