Please don’t think on it too much 😘. I don’t want to convince anyone that they have been abducted. !!
I can’t recall where I first ran across the actual syndrome details; and I don’t know if that matters 🤗. It’s just hard to know WHY we act the way we do when we can’t pinpoint traumatic events in our lives.....
The Bible tells us that we can expect attacks on our spirituality, and the physical parts of our lives, too.
Statistically, “bad things happen to good people” anyway.
As for having “premonitions” of something “bad” about to happen to us or our loved ones, I think that is very possible. The secular world talks about it as if it is just a heightened feeling of distress, IF a person does not get actual knowledge of what is about to happen.
God talks to everyone. 😊
As Christians, it is right for us to heed these seeming warnings; to pray, read His word, and search and listen for His guidance.
He is there for us no matter what. His promises are real. He longs for us to have relationship with Him.
🤗❤️

His promises are real. He longs for us to have relationship with Him. 🤗❤️ Amen! I don’t know if you remember (from the MUFON board) when I got saved I saw Angels in the church. It upset me really bad. I was about 14. I was raised in church. I visited a few different ones growing up. I went to one called Greenpoint Baptist. But when I spent the night with my grandma we would walk about 1/4 of a mile to Rainbow Baptist. I was saved at an evangelistic event then immediately saw angels and halos around people’s head. I lead my daughter to Christ one night (I slept with her because of her asthma attacks when she was younger.) We had been going to church and one night when she was around 6 or 7 she told me she wanted Jesus to come live in her heart. We prayed and the next Sunday she was baptized. My son got saved at church camp when he was around 11. My mama taught me about the Bible as well but she believed that you didn’t have to be in church to have a close relationship with God. I seek his strength and wisdom everyday. I’ve been attending an evangelical church. I just feel the spirit so much stronger there. Sometimes my husband thinks I overthink stuff when I try to point out signs from God. He thinks more along the lines of Baptist. Quiet, calm, (or a nap now and then), and a little old lady playing hymns on a piano. The Evangelical still use the gifts of the spirit that Jesus bestowed upon his Deciples in the upper room before ascending back to Heaven. I’ll have to share with you sometime of the pathway my mama and I went down the night she passed away. I was so blessed to be able to go with her as far as God allowed me to. I’m still on a spiritual journey and I suppose it doesn’t end until we pass away. My aunt lays hands when she feels lead to by God. It’s not her choice, though. She prays for people but only lays hands when she’s called to. It’s good to know there’s people out there like you, that are not only not ashamed to proclaim God but to share with others. The temple is being rebuilt now which, I’m sure you know, is one of the last events to happen before Jesus comes back. I have found another sister in Christ! Thank you for sharing your points of view and taking the time to respond.

Because I thought I was losing my mind. They were huge and golden light and nothing like anybody would expect an angel to look like. I talked to the evangelist afterward and he told me other people had seen them. Otherwise I wouldn’t have known what they were. Just like if you saw something you never thought were “real” as in a can see kind of way. My great grandmother calmed me down and told me I had a gift.

(Or all there was that attended there were “little old ladies and little old men”. 🙄) Every one “prim and proper” and sitting with their hands folded in their laps, eh? The “nap” comment had me puzzled...... just kidding! 😇

There have been a few times that I thought I was losing my mind. Thank God you had people around you that explained things to you! What do people expect angels to look like? I mean, from a church perspective, and Biblical, they can look like every day people. However, they were also seen as “Beings of light” in parts of the Bible; such as Elijah seeing them (and asking God to open his friends’ eyes) when they (angels) were around them in a “protective” position. You recently mentioned the garden of Eden. When I think of the angel guarding the tree of life from every angle, I picture the angel you described 🤗.

Where are you getting your information? Yes, there are steps being done to try and usher in the coming of Jesus Christ (such as finding a “blue heifer”). People are talking about rebuilding the temple. 🙂 However, the “dome of the rock” is sitting on top of the spot where Abraham almost sacrificed his son Isaac. Or almost sacrificed Ishmael (according to some people’s beliefs). It is my understanding that Christians are only allowed some access to the Western wall..... and there may be some digging done around there.

(In the hopes of not getting too political,) The alter for the temple has already been dedicated and a “red heifer’ has been born for the sacrifice. Well, it’s ashes. The Sanhedrin agreed this could be the sign. Trump named Jerusalem the Capitol of Israel. World leaders have united to bring in peace and security,( mentioned in the Bible several times.) some conspiracies attached to it so use your gift of discernment by the Holy Spirit. Many YouTube videos on the subject, I will screen them to share with you, some are just propaganda. Which has me wondering, why do both religions claim that is their holiest site out of all the places in the world? One Islam figure ascended from there, as well as the same place Jesus ascended from there to heaven. I wonder if there were 2 religious leaders that had the same text but from different POV and split into 2 different religions. I must do more research.

Who have hardened themselves to listening to that “still, small (or large), Voice”. Also the people that at one time claimed a religious affiliation, only to now reject ANY worship.

There’s also a warehouse where they are building harps for David, and chalices and such that is supposed to be in the new temple. Also, an interesting fact based video on how the dome is where the fort was and the temple was actually downhill about 600 ft. From the fort. I will share it as well. Not to cause confusion but to add critical thinking to anybody following this post from the outside. Many opinions and beliefs so discernment is necessary.

Sounds good.
I wouldn’t be surprised (or skeptical) about the actual location. But I don’t know if the fort was destroyed along with the temple?
I can admit that the most I have “studied” on these issues is the book of Daniel. I have refrained from reading the book of Revelation. I mean, I have read it, but when my interpretations don’t line up with other people who have studied it extensively, I made myself stop trying to discern..
For example, I took the “temple defilement” to be when King so and so “sacrificed” a pig in the temple around 70 A.D....... (and I am being obviously unclear on this 😉).......
I’m not going to voice the “personal sign” I’m waiting for,,, because God only knows! (The sign just involves my own confirmation of discernment..... when I know it’s important NOT to come “up with these ideas” as a single individual.)
I hope that I am making some sense!
Easier way to put it, is as a child I thought there was just one antichrist. And we know that through history there has been ones like an antichrist.

I’m TRYING to use my memory, on the verse about WHY God is refraining from ALLOWING all these end time things happen.... and I know that I will botch it. Of course I can look it up!
Do you know that verse? It puts a little happiness in my heart among all this tragedy happening on the Earth.....
But my ever questioning mind asks, where does it fit?? As in, Will more people come to Christ in peaceful times? Or do some only find Him through great suffering of their own? We are all different from each other, and so just trusting in God....

As in, Will more people come to Christ in peaceful times? Or do some only find Him through great suffering of their own? We are all different from each other, and so just trusting in God.... If I had to guess, I would say John 3:16. That is the key to knowing God. First, you have to be cleansed from sin, Jesus, and acceptance. Also, you may be speaking of the rapture will not occur until every soul on earth has been given the opportunity to accept Jesus. No one knows the time or date but it will happen as ,”A thief in the night.” The antichrist and his fallen angels are in our midst now (according to the Bible and a southern baptist sermon.) and his days are numbered and he roams around seeking whom he may devour like a lion.” He’s going to take as many souls as he can down with him when he’s cast back down into the lake of fire. Am I close? (With the answer you’re seeking?)

Addressing the defilement of the temple, the defilement I know of was using it as a “flea market in so many words.” But the water source? Didn’t a leper get in the fountain to be cleansed of his disease? Wasn’t there also a water source for worshipers to wash before going into the temple? The temple place the videographer mentions the water source was in fact where he suggests the real temple is. 🧩

THIS is the Bible verse that I was trying to quote from memory but Did Not want to botch it up:
2 Peter 3:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
(And I will recommend that the entire chapter 3 is read to get full context)

And, about the “thief in the night” (those exact words are in the Bible 30-something times!)
1 Thessalonians 5 King James Version (KJV)
5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. _________________
So, we should also reference the verses that talk about the bridal party, and having enough oil....

(I’m talking about Mathew chapter 25)
The bridal party waiting for the “groom” 😊.
No, we don’t know when Jesus is coming back.
BUT,, let us look at it with excitement and longing for Him to come, instead of thinking on it as one who is AFRAID of the thief who sneaks in while one is sleeping!

..... and I shouldn’t be truly sad for the lost, because God is going to make sure that every one has heard, and has the opportunity to repent....
(So, if a person is not saved, it is by their own choice. They are not deceived, and someone can’t claim for them that “God hardened their heart”)

I do know that the church is the bride of Christ. Not the physical locations but the people that are part of it. The oil.? I’m not sure but thinking it represents the Holy Spirit anointing. Now I shall study and recollect. Thank you! I wasn’t sure where I needed to read tonight.🌸 Also, I remembered another defilement of a sacrifice. I will need to look it up but it was about a man should bring his very best to the offering. Not a disabled lamb? (Not sure) Not the one he sees as useless or unhealthy but the very best he had. Instead of keeping the best for himself.😊

Yes. The Bible talks often about giving your best. First fruits, unblemished lamb ; once upon a time for sacrifice. But also for praising Him; being thankful, and “offering” a wonderful fragrance (burning meat) up to Heaven. With the “burning meat fragrance” I think about Solomon, and the dedication of the first temple. I think of David dancing...... 😊
I am so thankful for the internet! You can put in the search engine “King Solomon Bible Verse Dedicating Temple” and it tells you exactly where to look in the Bible. (I do recommend that the words “Bible verse” be put in- otherwise., it may NOT reference the Bible 🙄😲).
And then a person can add the words “Bible commentary” to the search engine, and be guided thru their studies by someone like Mathew Henry..

Mathew Henry en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Henry_________________ I don’t have a favorite, but it seems the youth of my church talk about referencing his commentaries. Though I have been at my church for 3 years, I’m getting to know people very slowly. We have a very active discipleship program. I’m saying all the time that I wish I had been with these brothers and sisters when my kids were teenagers!
