Hello Garry, John and Doves,


The correct translation of the word 'temptation' in the Lord's Prayer is 'testing'. Lead us not into testing. We Bible believing Christians have no need to be 'tested'. What is intriguing is the phrase ' the hour of testing'. Once Almighty God makes His serious moves - as a result of stupid and evil human endeavours - there is 'an hour' of testing. Hmmm! This a key phrase and wording. An hour of sheer terror, perhaps? After that 'hour of testing', the great trib kicks in. And the great tribulation could possibly be that hour of testing? I don't claim to know. What I do know is that our beloved Almighty God has the fervent desire that none are lost. Great Tribulation will bring very many sceptics into belief. It will be such an horrific time, that even the most spiritually lazy will be woken up.


When I wrote a post in reply to you , a number of months ago, I don't believe you really got the gist of what I was pointing to. You write beautifully about the length of the tribulation. You have been such an inspiration to me about what is our near future, according to scripture. I do not exaggerate - you have been a lifeline as to what I have come to believe. You and the testimony from Natan. There is no way that the 3rd Temple will be built by human hands - kick started by an AC character. Would a 3rd Temple - aided and abetted by the AC - be recognised by Almighty God as HIS Temple? Of course not. The Ark of the Covenant is currently in heaven - as confirmed by scripture. Revelation 11: 19.


When I wrote that the word 'continue' doesn't appear in the direct translation of the Greek in Revelation 13:5 (see link) I did not mean it to sound as though you were quoting from a mistaken source. I meant it to point out that the word 'continue' is NOT part of the direct Greek translation. The addition of the word 'continue' in the translation is what 7 year tribulation scholars believe is the source of 2 parts of tribulation consisting of 3.5 years each. This is nonsense. Scripture makes it abundantly clear that the AC will have power over the Holy people fr 42 months. That's it. No more. Adding the word 'continue' to the translation is seriously misguided and has led to enormous confusion. As has the misrepresentation of the 'He' in Daniel 9:27, which you well know.


I am looking forward to meeting all of you - at the marriage supper of the Lamb.
