Forget politics - who do you believe more?

[Dr. Anthony J. Toole]

Just as a test-case of who really believes their schtick, who do you believe more? The protestors who protested all Summer, then took a break and restarted in mid-Spring? Or those who protested in January in the middle of Winter.

Mark 13:18 - "And pray ye that your flight be not in winter." God Himself declares that winter is the least auspicious season for things to take place in. Despite this, those noble QAnon freedom fighters stormed the capitol anyway. By defending the honor of Donald Trump, who is STILL President of the United States as of this writing, Bloody Wednesday achieved more than hundreds of Burn Loot Murder riots. Like the Know Nothings, the Confederacy, the Ku Klux Klan, the Liberty League, the John Birchers, the McCarthyites, and the Tea Party, QAnon will go down in history as a bastion of conservative American Christian values.

I've read Christ's words on this matter and am a little confused; will The Flight be in Judaea only or will calamity strike everywhere at the same time? Part of the problem is utter darkness, since the sun will go out and when that happens nowhere will have light. Additionally, Jesus explains, the moon will stop working, similarly affecting everywhere at once.

Mark 13:4-19 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. And the gospel must first be published among all nations. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: and let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: and let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

WILL THERE EVEN BE STARLIGHT?

Mark 13:23-25 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

HOW EXTENSIVE WILL CHRIST'S ACTION BE?

Mark 13:26-27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Does that mean it will winter (or hopefully not) in Heaven and here at the same time?

WILL THERE EVEN BE STARLIGHT?

Well let's recall that God created light on the 1st day but the stars and the two great lights (Sun and Moon) on the fourth day. So even though it may look to you as if light comes from the Sun (and the Moon and the twinkling jewels), actually it's already there. An optical illusion because of reflection off the water in the firmament... but what am I saying, you won't understand any of this

Great summary, Dr. Toole--It's so logical God created light before He created the sun. God was busy. So, having light available helped God see while creating the sun and placing it in its current perfect location. Getting that all done in one day was His goal and He did it.
