The Bible is Serious! Foolish Talking & Jesting Does Not Become Saints
YouTube comment on 2033 short:
"Come on, seriously? Get tested for drugs. No one knows when the rapture will be. Why do people think it always works with nice even numbers? 2000 years from when Jesus died come on man be real. Just like the world was going to end in 2002 because the Mayan calendar only went to that year.
How about this, when it happens, be prepared."
EBF reply:
Doesn't sound like you would be interested. But for anyone reading this who is like a Berean and willing to search the Scriptures to see if these things are so-you can check out EBF's series of Bible studies on this subject (youtube.com/playlist...).
What makes 2033 such a good candidate for the world's end and the completion of all of God's promises to His elect people-is that there is much Biblical evidence pointing to that year that has been proven true with other major Biblical events.
For example, the Biblical calendar of history (derived from the Bible itself) established creation in the year 11,013 BC.
From there we are able to accurately date Noah's 600th year (the year the flood came) as 4990 BC.
Therefore, the time line for the first earth which was destroyed by the flood is 11,013 BC - 4990 BC = 6,023 yrs.
Next, if we go from the flood date (4990 BC) to the year 33 AD when Jesus was crucified and also resurrected we find the similar pattern:
4990 BC + 33 AD = 5,023 calendar yrs.
In this pattern we see that God waits until the fullness of thousands of years is reached and then adds 23 years (a tribulation period) before the major event occurs (and other than the end of the world you cannot find anything more major than the flood, and Jesus hanging on the cross).
So, once again, if we start with the flood date 4990 BC and go to the year 2033 we find:
4990 BC + 2033 = 7023 calendar yrs.
The same year that is exactly 2000 years from the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ is also part of another pattern wherein the fullness of thousands of years is reached-then a 23 year tribulation is added till the time the event is brought to pass.
Your response was unserious. E Bible Fellowship is serious. And everything we say we show from the Bible. We didn't get from a dream, or a vision. Or some other nonsense. Its all from the Bible. And the Bible is a most serious book.
Ephesians 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

The Bible is the Authority Concerning Time in Conjunction with the Movements of the Celestial Clock
YouTube comment on EBF's 2033 short #2:
"Only jews know"
EBF reply:
Concerning your reference to only the Jews knowing. The rabbis who keep the Hebrew calendar do not know the correct year we are in. Their estimate is that this is the year 5786. This is incorrect. It is a similar error to the church calendar developed by bishop Usher in the 17th century. Usher's chronology estimates the earth at about 6000 years. Very likely then, the rabbis' figure and Usher figure came from the same source (the genealogies found in the book of Genesis). And it is also very likely they made the same mistake that has resulted in the removal of about 7000 years of Biblical history.
According to a correct reading and understanding of the Bible's calendar (and yes, also derived from the same genealogies in Genesis) the actual age of the earth can be precisely determined to be in our present year:
Creation: 11,013 BC to 2026 AD = 13,039 -1 (due to no year zero) = 13,038 years from creation
Again, the authority in all time related matters are not the Jewish rabbis. But the authority regarding time-is the Word of God (the Bible) in conjunction with the movements of the celestial clock. God built the clock by placing the sun, moon, and stars in the heavens. Therefore, that clock is God's clock that keeps God's calendar. That clock and calendar it establishes can be trusted above all calendars kept by men. Including those kept by the rabbis.

Since the Times Were Changed by Gregorian Calendar-Who Knows for Certain?
YouTube comment on EBF's 2033 short:
"Great. Amazing. But hold on since the times were changed by Gregoryan calendar who knows for certain what year we're on? Only jews know"
EBF reply:
God's calendar is built into creation:
Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
The movements of the celestial bodies are what establish and keep time in a regular way since the creation. Every solar year is 365.2422 days. Every lunar month is 29.530 days.
Practically all calendars (including the Gregorian) attempt to align with the celestial clock of God.
The Gregorian calendar came into existence in 1582 in order to correct the drifting error of the Julian calendar.
The Julian calendar calculated each year as 365.25 days. They did this by adding a leap year every 4 years.
However, the actual length of a solar year was slightly less than that (365.2422) and so over long periods of time (centuries) the Julian calendar was off course by about 10 or 11 days. That's when correction was made in the time of Pope Gregory.
What were they using to correct to? They were using the astronomical calendar which consists of the sun, moon, and stars. Ancient civilizations understood by careful observance of the heavenly bodies that there was indeed a built in clock regulating times and seasons (just like Genesis 1:14 tells us).
Therefore, telling correct time, in regards to years and centuries, can indeed be accurately understood and forecast. Especially once the Biblical calendar of history is understood. For then we are given absolute dates that come right from the Bible and right from the God of the Bible.

EBF YouTube comment on 2033 video short:
"Oh look. Someone else dating something we can't date. Not surprised anymore."
EBF reply:
No man knows anything about the future. Especially as it concerns the things of God. Only God knows His secret things.
The error of the church, however, is to disregard the fact that God reveals His secret things to those who truly are His people:
God revealed to Noah the precise day, month, and year the flood would come:
Genesis 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah ...
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights;
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
God revealed His plans to destroy Sodom to Abraham:
Genesis 18:17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
God revealed to Lot He was about to destroy Sodom:
Genesis 19:13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
The Biblical principle is that God always reveals His secrets to His servants-and NOT to the wicked:
Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever,
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Daniel 2:47 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.
This principle of God revealing His secret things to His elect people is especially in view at the time of the end:
Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Notice in the verses above that the words (the Bible) are sealed up until the time of the end. The implication being that at that time (of the end) they will be unsealed.
And in the next verse we find that once the word (the Bible) is unsealed at that end time-that NONE of the wicked will understand it. But only "the wise shall understand".
Who are the wise? They are God's true servants. They are the ones He has revealed the secret things to. Which includes matters of time and judgment:
Ecclesiastes 8:5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.
It is almost guaranteed that you know nothing of these Scriptures (and many others) that show the pattern found throughout the whole Bible regarding God revealing His judgment (and its timing) to His people.

A man commented on EBF's YouTube short, "33 AD - 2033 AD The 2000 Year Pattern":
"Would be nice to know the exact time Jesus brings us home...
However if we knew the exact date that could make many "run a muck" until such time then believe one could simply ask for forgiveness. Not to mention in the Bible it does mention we will have zero idea when our Lord JESUS CHRIST, And
The Only way to heaven and To our heavenly Father will return.
(In proper words of course).
But hey.... What would I know.
I'm just a Sinner Searching for Home and trying to simply Breath and attempt to not be a Sinner And Make sure my Children, Wife, Family and loved ones ALL end up in Heaven with our heavenly Father Together for Eternity. I wish Every Soul Could Exist together Here in this Realm and in the next with Jesus Christ.
GOD BLESS.....
IN JESUS NAME AMEN ~"
EBF reply:
Actually, knowledge of the time of Christ's coming, as the people of God do possess today, does not make us "run amuck"-but rather motivates us to glorify God more in our lives:
2 Peter 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God...
An additional reason God would reveal the time to His people is to comfort them. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 describes the coming of Christ along with the resurrection of the dead and the rapture of the living-and then concludes in verse 18, "Wherefore comfort one another with these words".
The contemplation and expectation of Christ's coming and the end of this world does not frighten the child of God in the least bit. We long for the promises of God to us to be fulfilled.
It is the ungodly of the world who are frightened and desirous to not discuss these certain things of the Bible.
Therefore, unfortunately, it is very revealing of the true character of the churches that they align with the world and wish to ward off all sincere Biblical investigation into these things. Why would the church not want to talk specific dates concerning our great hope and tremendous future of a new heaven and a new earth that comes at the end of all things?
Sadly, it is because the world has entered into the churches. And the same heart of unbelief (and fear of losing this world by its conclusion) is in the hearts of the congregational members.

Atheism is the Most Lazy & Easy of All "Belief" Systems
And unbelief comes naturally to the spiritually dead sinner.
To the man dead to spiritual realities, there is nothing more natural than to say, "There is no God".
Atheism really, is the easiest and most lazy of all "belief" systems because it is a position which takes absolutely no effort for a spiritually dead individual to arrive at.

AI Music is NOT Soulless

Regarding the use of AI music.
Put AI into the hands of the people of the world-and they will develop worldly music with it.
Put AI into the hands of the apostate churches-and (for the most part) they will develop "Christian" music that is not God glorifying as worldly elements seep into it.
But put AI into the hands of a true child of God-who carefully sets the parameters to make sure the music is in accord with the music of God's kingdom (meditative music not toe tapping or swaying beats) and who also carefully makes sure that the lyrics are in line with the Bible's teachings-then the end result can be edifying for the elect children of God and glorifying to God Himself.
Perhaps the way to look at the development of a song via AI software is as a composer/conductor who carefully drafts the music to his liking and directs the various singers/instruments in the orchestra to blend all together for the making of a beautiful song and arrangement.
The child of God orchestrates the AI to make the music a blessing. Therefore, the music is NOT soulless. The soul of the child of God is in evidence by his safe guarding all of the various elements to make sure all comes together in an harmonious arrangement that glorifies God and blesses the hearts of God's people.

I Am NOT A Pastor! I Am Just A Guy!
I haven't said this for a while-but here goes once again, I am NOT a pastor!
I am a guy who teaches the Bible. And I do have a job as EBF's general manager. But I am not a pastor.
As EBF listeners realize-the Church Age is over. God ended the Church Age and caused all pastors in the churches to cease from feeding the flock.
EBF listeners know this. As a matter of fact, if I acted like a pastor trying to exercise spiritual authority over any one-I'd hear about it very fast. Who do you think you are!
And yet, still, there are some who know these things-but at the same time they try to hold me (who in reality is just a guy) to pastoral duty and oversight of the flock type concerns.
How exactly am I not a pastor-which we all agree on-but at the same time I'm measured by that standard?
No. Again I am not a pastor. I am just a guy who teaches the Bible. I am not anyone's pastor or elder. I have no pastoral duty or responsibility for any EBF listener.
Once you understand that-you won't be so disappointed in me and we'll get along much better.


May the Lord's perfect will be done.

The Truth of the Situation May be Completely Reversed

I don't think there's anything wrong with people posting asking for prayer. And I also don't think there's anything wrong with people who respond to the post saying they are or will be praying for the person/situation.
But I do think there's something wrong when an assumption is made that only those who responded to the note itself are brothers and sisters who care about me. Or who are truly praying for me.
As the saying goes, "appearances can be deceiving". It is very possible that someone who responded (not signaling anyone out just speaking in general terms. I have no one in mind)-but it is possible for someone who responds with praying hands or other encouragements of praying for the person-that either they don't pray at all. Or, their prayer is done and then the individual's situation is forgotten.
It is also equally possible-for people who have not responded to the post itself with any words or praying hands emoji-that instead they included that person/situation on their prayer list. And for days, weeks, months, later-they are praying for the individual who requested it.
Which is why it is exceedingly unwise for someone to conclude in their mind that these people who commented on my post are my only friends. The only ones who care about me. And these others, why, they're barely Christians. They lack the love and compassion of true children of God-when in fact, the truth of the situation may be completely reversed.
Oh no you don't. You're just trying to justify inactivity. If people genuinely cared about me-they would let me know they were praying for me.
A couple of things about this. One, prayer is a private matter between God and His people. God encourages us to go into our closets to pray:

Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
And two, God warns about those praying publicly in order to be seen:

Matthew 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Again, let me repeat. I am not saying people should not post prayer requests. And I am also not saying that people should not respond to posted prayer requests letting the person know that they are praying for them. I am not making any judgment about that at all.
What I'm doing is explaining the reason why some of God's people are hesitant to post publicly and tell someone they are praying for them. Some are uneasy about due to the things the verses I posted above say.
This is especially exacerbated when fingers are pointed at people who do not post-and are accused of being "unChristian" for not doing so.
Well then, if I'm a Christian I better post and say I'm praying for someone lest I'm thought of as being not a Christian.
What is my motivation for posting then? Is it to make sure others see that I did? That's the problem Christ was addressing in Matthew 6:5,6. Prayers made in the sight of men. Why? So men might know that I pray and I am one of God's people.

I posted this to make people think. What is the unspoken dynamic going on regarding these things? And also to remind people who have requested prayer-that not only those who post on your note-but others too are praying for you and your situation.
We are praying for fathers who are ill. And for sons who have had strokes. And for daughters that have gotten cancer. And for many, many other things-as the Lord leads us to pray.
