NOTE #1: In Acts 2:16-18, the Apostle Peter — who had just been filled with the Holy Spirit — is clearly saying two things: Joel’s prophecy was being fulfilled at that time during the First Century, and that period was also the Last Days. The phrase “last days” does NOT mean from 30 AD to the 21st Century, as some modern, Futurist-leaning Bible teachers erroneously teach. That is a false doctrine of men.

NOTE #2: The fact that in 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 the Apostle Paul includes himself by saying “we” is clear proof that he was expecting Christ’s soon return, and he was hoping to still be alive to witness it.

NOTE #3: In Hebrews 1:1-2, the phrase “last days” refers to the very end of the Prophet Daniel’s 70 weeks — or 490 years — prophecy. It has nothing to do with our modern times, as Futurists claim.

NOTE #4: In Hebrews 10:37, the phrase “a little while” does NOT mean 2,000 years in the future as the Futurists claim.

NOTE #5: In James 5:2-3, 7-8, the Apostle James is likewise confirming that it was the Last Days, and he was convinced that Jesus would be returning soon.

NOTE #6: 1 Peter 4:7 confirms the phrase “in these last days” mentioned in Hebrews 1:1-2 above.

NOTE #7: In 1 John 2:18, not once, but twice, the Apostle John tells his readers that it is the Last Time, or the very end of the Prophet Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy.

Conclusion: Peter, James and John — who were Jesus’ inner circle — as well as the Apostle Paul, were all convinced that Jesus would return during their lifetimes, exactly as He had promised them in these verses:

In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I WILL COME AGAIN, AND RECEIVE YOU unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also . . . I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU.”
John 14:2-3, 18, KJV

How can so many modern, Futurist-leaning Christians continue to resist the plain truth of the Scriptures?

NO TRACTION OR SATISFACTION

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

08-27-2024

As many know, the Stones sang,
I can’t get no satisfaction,
But my problem is even worse.
Because I can’t get no traction.

It really doesn’t matter what I do,
I am always spinning my wheels,
If you are censored by networks,
You know exactly how this feels.

We all work so hard every day,
To pump out God’s holy Word,
But because we are restricted,
So few people have even heard.

It just seems all network gurus,
Have sympathy for the ole Devil,
But as for us dear Christian folks,
The playing field is just not level.

Now to be honest, I’m gettin’ old,
I’m really no Jumpin’ Jack Flash,
So unless my situation improves,
I may throw this app in the trash.

DAMAGED GOODS

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

11-11-2017

We have all been damaged goods,
Husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, wives,
Hurt and abused, deceived and misused,
Someone or something shattered our lives.

Knowing sunshine and rain, joy and pain,
We have been left so completely broken,
A loved one lost, a special one tossed,
Or a word unwittingly and harshly spoken.

But the Lord can use these tragic events,
To make us what He desires us to be,
He will pick up all the scattered pieces,
And set us right back there on His knee.
