re: Glenn Beck breaks down Israel’s red heifer prophecy and what’s going on now

The feast timeline is interesting. Also, the rapture explanation is plausible, no one knows exactly how that will go down, but it may be a translation, where the bodies are left behind and therefore, the living left behind will view it as something akin to a pandemic.


But this is definitely wrong:

and he told her "touch me not, for I have not yet ascended unto the Father" (to offer himself as a Sacrifice)........Mary, merely touching Jesus with sin flesh would have defiled the sacrifice, thats how holy God is, so no sin flesh can enter heaven.

The words are translated as touch, but are better understood in the context of her hanging on firmly and not wanting to let him go. It’s ridiculous to even try and make the case that she could defile him with a touch. He touched leprous people and it didn’t defile him, rather he made them clean. So point is, you’re really reaching here. But tell yourself this, if it makes you feel better.

I can remember dabbing in all this stuff about 30 years ago ("Late Great Planet Earth"). This heifer stuff goes on all the time. The End Timers constantly shift their interpretations around to fit the current political or economic happenings. I don't think they are bad people and I can't really blame them for hoping there is a quick end to all this mess, but I have acquaintances who I think are making bad life choices based on a time gamble at best.

Generally, focusing on prophecy as a Christian is going about things all wrong... I will not condemn anyone that dabbles in it or even follows it closely but often times the prophecy becomes the focus of their faith, which is detrimental to their walk with Christ...

I struggle with my own walk and fail daily so I will not cast the first stone but in the end if you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, then you do not have a need to worry about the end times...

Zionism is nothing more than a doomsday cult, and there are going to be a lot of very disappointed, very dumb fricks standing around with their dicks in their hands one day, waiting for a train that ain't gonna come.

Maybe. But think about all of these oddities:

- The final time he walked out of the temple on Holy Week, Jesus said that the temple would be destroyed and the Jews would be scattered. Exactly 40 years later (40 being a very significant number in Scripture), that is exactly what happened.

- On his way out the door of the temple, Jesus said, “You will never see me again until you say ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord,’” which is from a messianic psalm which the crowds had already spoken to Jesus when he was on his way to the temple on Palm Sunday. In other words, Jesus guarantees that he is coming back to the Temple Mount in a messianic procession which was prefigured by Palm Sunday.

Now, perhaps Jesus was misquoted in the gospels. Or perhaps it was made up entirely. Or maybe he was speaking figuratively rather than literally about his return. Before 1948 and 1967, I would have been apt to agree with one of those assessments. The problem is that in AD 1948, an ethnic group that had not had a sovereign state since the seventh century BC suddenly set up a nation which has been the bane of the world ever since. Then in 1967, they claimed oversight of the Temple Mount for the first time since AD 70.

And in spite of the status quo arrangement that Israel presently has with Jordan at the Temple Mount, there have recently been waves of Orthodox Jews who have rushed their way onto the Temple Mount to demand the reintroduction of Old Testament sacrifices, including a group which went up to the Al-Aqsa mosque mere days before the October 7 Hamas attack.

Maybe it is all fantasy. Or maybe things are lining up exactly as we were told in Scripture.

Isn’t Beck a Mormon anyway?

Side note: Mormon’s aren’t technically Christians

The first minimum belief to be Christian is in the name Christian

Christians believe Jesus is the divine unique Son of God first and foremost.

Mormons do not think Jesus is unique. Their language SOUNDS like they believe that but if you really ask them and delve into what they are truly saying, they think that Jesus is “A” Son of God and that good Mormons can approach the same status over time.

They are also works based.

Haven’t you heard, it’s just one helluva coincidence, even though it’s never happened in the history of the world. Same patch of land, too.

Also, I’ve heard many times that the people aren’t the same. Even though, well the people aren’t the same anywhere as they were 2000 years ago. I guess they need to get the people to dress up in robes and march around with sling shots for some people to wake up, but even then, there would be some other excuse.

The Bible and God's Word speak of end times and the passing of this fallen earthly domain and the rebirth/formation of a new heaven on Earth where man will once again have an in person relationship with the Creator as Adam and Eve once had.

Absolutely not

He's going to need to go to the chalkboard with this one.

I'm still waiting for the landmass promised Abraham to be occupied and in my mind - that will get the attention of the players. Until then, I will do the best I can with the ministry left to us: that being reconciliation.

Hello my friend, lets take in the verse first and I will then answer point by point.

17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

It can mean touch, cling to or other things...(I researched this long ago to show how the "Second Coming" doesn't mean Jesus only comes to earth twice, its referring unto his Two Advents, the Meek Lamb and the Roaring Lion)

But your points were Jesus was touched many times and it did not defile him. I did not say she would have defiled Jesus, he knew no sin, she would have defiled "The Sacrificial Offering" unto God, it would have had sin stain on it. The offering came by way of Jesus death and resurrection. Why would Jesus put in or stated "I have not yet ascended unto my Father"?

So, I never said Jesus would be defiled, I was speaking about the sacrificial offering that was offered unto God to break Satan's hold over human beings. By the way, 8 days later, after Jesus went to Heaven and offered Himself as the sacrifice unto the Father, Jesus returned and told Doubting Thomas to touch his wounds.

Believe me, I can see why that would make no sense at all, Jesus touched many people, et al. But I was speaking about a specific time frame, after his death and resurrection, no one could touch the holy offering.

The High Priest who entered the inner sanctum in the temple could only do so by sprinkling blood from a sacrifice, no one else could enter, or they would die via God's holy presence.

Glenn Beck is clown. The people who believe his nonsense will believe in anything. They are useful idiots.
