THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE END

Hmmm, this fits in well with the topic I have been reading the last couple of days.... (the end times)...

http://fromthepew.blogspot.com/2010/08/phychology-of-end.html

-  "the psychology of thinking you know when the world will end.  God doesn't tell us because it will radically affect our behavior...for the worst."

-  "In the bible, Paul warns Timothy that men named Hymenaeus and Philetus were teaching that the resurrection already took place and that it was upsetting the faith of some believers. The end has a powerful affect on people, so it should come as no surprise that one's view of eschatology can greatly affect how people live in the here and now."

DEAD SEA SCROLLS???

from the book "Lost Treasures - True Stories of Discovery" by Larry Verstraete

 

p 172, 173  "Before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the earliest written records of the Bible had been Greek and Latin translations dating from the fourth century.  Now for the first time, it was possible to study the Bible in a much more authentic form."

LISTEN TO YOUR CHILDREN

GREAT ADVICE!

 

http://www.fiarhq.com/forum/showthread.php?t=79377

Remember when your children spoke their first words ?

Now ask yourself how much you remember of what your children said today.

As much as is possible:
        Look your children in the eye when they speak.
        Don’t cut them off or finish their sentences.    
        Rely more on asking questions than giving lectures, to teach as well as to discipline.

Listen with your eyes and heart, not just your ears.

Remember, your children learn to listen through your example.

Where is Satan now? (still researching)

In a previous entry ( http://onanygivendayinpamelasmind.blogspot.com/2010/08/mystery-of-iniquity-chapter-2.html ) about my reading the book "The Mystery of Iniquity", I had some questions about Satan or rather what the author was saying about Satan.  Just now I found this webpage that seems to have some answers for me.  I need to read it more thoroughly but wanted to post here so I didn't lose the link.

THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY -- CHAPTER 4

COMING IN GREAT POWER AND GLORY

notes:

-  Greek = harpadzo --> Latin = rapturo  -->  in English = rapture  -->  caught up, gathering together (used in KJV)

-  the last trumpet is the literal fulfillment of the Feast of Trumpets (1 Corinthians 15:51)

-  new birth (born again) at the last trump (flesh and blood cannot go, we are born into our new bodies)

-  what must we know or do to be prepared for Christ's return????  He expects us to be living our commitment to him, to continue to be faithful.

-  1 Thessalonians 5:1 - "times and seasons" -->  God's time vs the pagan sun god calendar --> "seasons" derived from the Hebrew word moedim which refer to the Feasts of the Lord (which a prophetic shadow of pictures of good things to come - according to Paul) -->  inherited so called holi - days (Easter, Christmas), these are not God's idea

-  1 Thessalonians 1:10 - delivered us from the wrath to come

BUY EXPERIENCES INSTEAD OF THINGS

a quote from the above article (click on the link):

"Experiences create memories and memories are long treasured after things have worn out. Memories are passed down to subsequent generations of family and friends."

education is life itself

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.  ~John Dewey
