A Foundation of Understanding

To be able to accurately understand the message of the Bible and the prophecies within, you have to have an accurate foundation of knowledge.

========

You have to understand that the Israelites (the descendents of Jacob) belong to Jehovah, but Christians belong to Christ. (Ro 1:6)

(Isaiah 43:1) Now this is what Jehovah says, Your Creator, O Jacob, the One who formed you, O Israel: “Do not be afraid, for I have repurchased you. I have called you by your name. You belong to me.

(Mark 9:41) And whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, I tell you truly, he will by no means lose his reward.

(1 Corinthians 3:23) in turn you belong to Christ; Christ, in turn, belongs to God.

========

You have to understand that Jesus' answer to the apostles question "when will these things be?" (Mt 24:3; Mr 13:4; Lu 21:7) was given in two non-interchangeable parts, one only referring to the destruction of Jerusalem, and the other only referring to the end times.

See my article: Jesus' Answer

========

Christians have to understand that there is only one level, one stepping stone, one mediator between you and Jehovah God.

(1 Timothy 2:5) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus,

There is no other, nor should you allow any other, to be between you and God. No man or group of men, no corporation, organization, or company. There is only you, your mediator Christ Jesus, and Jehovah God.

Your survival through Armageddon is not based on your obedience to any men or organization, but is based on your heart condition, and your actions resulting from that heart condition.

========

Your understanding of the final governments on earth just before Armageddon, including Gog of Magog and the king of the north, will only be accurate if it harmonizes with all seven of the prophecies regarding that time period.
