Do you think the judgment throne of Christ is a physical throne?
Where or what do you think the judgment throne of Christ is? or even would be if you think it'll be set up some time in the future? Some kind of physical throne? Of course not.
God has always been upon His throne-in heaven-and we never saw Him nor His throne with our physical eyes while on earth.
Matthew 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool:
Christ came spiritually May 21, 2011 and set up His judgment throne to judge all the inhabitants of earth. And since His body is a new spiritual body and His throne is likewise spiritual man on earth doesn't see a thing out of the ordinary insofar as any physical manifestations are concerned. Christ did indeed come like a thief in the night and unsaved men of the world are totally ignorant of it.

Jesus' Bodily Return-is Spiritual-He Returns in His New Spiritual Body

The theological term is the “bodily coming” of Jesus Christ. This is not physical. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Christ showed forth a physical body after His resurrection only for the purposes of demonstrating the fact He had risen from the dead. But that was not His resurrected body He received when He rose from the dead at the foundation of the world.
The Bible tells us when we are resurrected that we will receive a new resurrected SPIRITUAL body:
1 Corinthians 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
And since our new resurrected bodies will be patterned after Christ’s own body-Jesus had to have a resurrected spiritual body Himself:
1 John 3: 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
And,
Philippians 3: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
This changes everything insofar as “seeing” Jesus coming in the clouds is concerned. While it is true that Jesus shewed forth a body during His first coming in order to manifest the atonement performed at the foundation of the world; and while it is also true He showed forth a physical body after His resurrection for the same reason-we should not expect this to be the case when it comes to His final appearing as the Judge of this world.
Spiritual things (like Christ’s resurrected body from the foundation of the world) are invisible things. Physical things (like our earthly bodies) are visible things. Therefore, God accomplishing a spiritual judgment beginning with the churches, and transitioning on the whole world on the date of May 21, 2011 is befitting the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ-in His new spiritual body form.
Matthew 24: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Christ has come already-like a thief in the night. First to judge the churches in a prolonged period of judgment. And then to judge the world, also in a prolonged period of judgment. His coming has been in the clouds. Do you know what clouds represent in the Bible? They represent the commandments of God (see Numbers chapter 9). Christ has come in His commandments. And His commandments are found in the Bible. Christ has come on the pages of the Bible as God has revealed His coming to His elect. You see knowing matters of time and judgment is essential for “seeing” His coming in the clouds.
John 12: 48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: THE WORD that I have spoken, the same SHALL JUDGE HIM in the last day.
While you’re waiting for that “physical” last day-sorrowfully you’re missing the entire 40 (inclusive) year second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. You’re not seeing (understanding) it. And by not seeing it you are not in good company because neither are the unsaved masses of the world and church seeing it.

The Ultimate Standard When It Comes To Law is God

Mankind recognizes that laws made by legitimate earthly governments are binding. Yes, but they also recognize that some laws made by legitimate earthly governments are not binding but are unlawful in themselves. The German government under Nazism would be an example of this. That government stipulated many laws. However, later, during war crime trials judges that enacted and enforced some of these laws were found guilty of wrong doing.
But these judges were the supreme judges of Germany at the time. How could they, since they possessed legitimate authority to do so have been found guilty of committing crimes against humanity? When men make laws are not the laws they make always right and always good?
Obviously this was not the case in Nazi Germany. And if it was not the case there, then it means that just because governments enact laws and enforce laws the laws they stipulate are not necessarily righteous or good laws all by themselves. Even for lawmakers there can be violation of law by the laws made.
How could a lawmaker violate law by making a law? How could this be possible?
The answer can only be that some laws are immoral because a righteous and just law is not made solely by declaring it. This means there is a higher law or a higher standard of law that all laws made by earthly governments are accountable to uphold. And the Bible is the law book that lays down the laws of that perfect standard of righteousness.

You May Not Know But God's Elect Know
A man commented on EBF’s Facebook page concerning a video pointing out that there are no Scriptures in the Bible that commend the people of God for their ignorance in matters of time and judgment:
“Welp, keep spending time on searching. Presently, and it's been years of searching all dates still are unknown or have been wrong in reference to the 2nd coming and the final judgement of this world. So, at this time you still don't know yourself.”

EBF reply:
When you say, "all dates still are unknown or have been wrong to the second coming and final judgment of this world" you are wrong.
We know, that is God's elect know, that the Church Age ended May 21, 1988 and that the great tribulation occurred from that date until May 21, 2011. We also know that the Lord Jesus Christ's 2nd coming as Judge officially began with the judgment on all the world's churches in 1994.
Furthermore, we know that May 21, 2011 was the beginning of the world's final judgment as God shut the door of heaven and began punishing the inhabitants of the earth from that time until now (and much Biblical evidence indicates this punishment of the world will continue until sometime in the year 2033).
Without understanding the time and judgment for these things (judgment on church followed by judgment on the world) no man will understand anything about God's end time judgment program nor the timing for it. So the declaration that 'no man knows' is a self fulfilling prophecy for those spiritually blind watchmen in the churches as well as outside of the churches.

There is nothing in the Bible that allows for insanity to justify murder or any other sin. How could it-when the Bible says the whole world is mad in their hearts because of man's sin:
Ecclesiastes 9:3 This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

Who Exactly are the Gullible Ones?

I don't trust the world's science (Genesis 1:1)
I don't trust the world's educational system (the things they teach have errors) (1 Corinthians 1:19-21)
I don't trust the world's nations nor their governments as they make up the world (Luke 12:30)
I don't trust the world's philosophies (Colossians 2:8)
I don't trust the world's religions (John 14:6)
I don't trust the world's common sense (Proverbs 3:5,6)
I don't trust the world's "truth" (Romans 3:4)
I don't trust the world's churches (all churches today became part of the world (1 Peter 4:17)
I don't trust that the world is a wonderful place (rather its cursed since the fall-Genesis 3:17)
I don't trust the heart of the world's people (Jeremiah 17:9)
In short, I don't trust the world in all of its various parts (1 John 2:15-17)
And yet, of those who do trust the world on these points and many others-I'm considered to be "gullible" because I trust the Word of God the Bible.
Fact is, its hard to find anyone more skeptical and on the look out for deceitfulness than a true elect child of God. We only trust one thing in all the world. And that thing we trust is NOT of this world.

John 17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and THEY HAVE RECEIVED THEM, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

Given that No Man Knows the Day or Hour There Must be Many Scriptures Commending God's People for Their Ignorance in Matters of Time and Judgment-Right? Ah, Nope. There's Zilch!

So-the church tells us-no man knows the time for the end. Which means no man knows matters of time and judgment.

And since they say it is the Bible (God Himself) that teaches no man knows-and we know everything God teaches is good and right and just. Well, since (supposedly) God teaches no man knows then it shouldn't be hard to look into the Bible-into Biblical history and find examples of God commending His people for their lack of knowledge, or for their ignorance concerning matters of time and judgment.
Ah, we should find that all over the place actually since the Bible has so much to say about time and judgment. Search. Search. Search. I'm looking trhough Genesis, Exodus, etc. Nothing yet. But I'll keep searching. Noah? No. Lot? No. Keep searching.
I'll save you the trouble-it is NOT FOUND anywhere in the Bible-there is NO SCRIPTURE where God commends His people for being ignorant of His judgments and the time for them. None. Not a one. Zilch!
But we do find the contrary-we find God's judgment and condemnation upon His people (outwardly His people not truly His people):
Jeremiah 8:7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
My people "know not" (there it is-no man knows!) the judgmetn of the LORD. And yet it is said in a way indicating they should have known. They are not wise because they did not know.
We find the same thing in the New Testament:
Luke 19:42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
God's judgment upon them because "THOU KNEWEST NOT THE TIME of thy visitation."
Poor people of the churches-you believed the pastors and the pastors lied. God's true people (His elect) are always informed of matters of time and judgment (Ecclesiastes 8:5,6). It is ALWAYS the wicked, the evil, those not truly saved-who know not-the day and hour.

Men Referencing Other Men is Like Ants Referencing the Most Brilliant Ant in the Colony


An atheist’s post in EBF’s group, “The Atheist is Without Excuse” included the below statement
"A Belief in a cruel god makes a cruel man."
This is a quote from Founding Father
Thomas Paine, who was raised a Quaker and was consequently required to memorize the Old and New Testament. Through his deep understanding of the Bible as an author, Paine identified many distinct contradictions between these two books.”


EBF reply:
Atheists set up the god of secularism. And there's no crueler god than the idea of man being the highest supreme being in existence. What a pitiful god that is. Supposedly no pleas reach higher than the ears of a little tiny finite creature called man. And man is callous. Hard. Cruel. And worst of all-evil. What an evil god you have set up to worship. Man makes an awful god because he's so small and weak and yet thinks himself to be the all in all. And the puny god of “man” is so foolish because he thinks himself to be all wise and all knowing. Even to the point of lifting his tiny vain little thoughts above the great and truly awesome thoughts of the One who formed him which are found in the holy book of God called the Bible.
Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
I cannot tell you how extremely foolish it is when men diminish and denigrate that which is perfect and pure and altogether righteous (the Bible) while propping up something coming out of their own thoughts and from their own incredibly small intellect.
Men referring us to even the best of men as some authority has no more significance than an ant referencing another ant-who might be the most brilliant ant in the colony-yet the fact remains he's still an ant who's intelligence level is measured only by comparison to other ants.
Poor pitifufl man. So foolish. He rejects the great for the tiny. He rejects the magnificent for the base and mire that swine wallow in. Sinful man is a pathetically dishonorable vessel of pottery who has been marred by his own great wickedness.

Frighteningly-the Sinner's Inability to Distinguish Good from Evil is Worse Than We Ever Imagined

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

The awful fact is that the sinner within himself/herself really does not know the difference between right and wrong. Or between good and evil. All along, throughout time civilization's operated on a basic moral code that God wrote in the hearts of men. And it was God's Spirit that impressed that inner moral code upon the people's conscience.

Romans 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

At this time of the world's final judgment the Spirit of God is lifting His hand of restraint off of the hearts of people so that the darkness that lies within is showing itself more and more in society. From gay marriage to inability to realize the distinction between a male and a female to a shocking inability to recognize as evil-even the worst cases of murder. This certainly is a time of woe, woe, woe to the inhabiters of the earth (Revelation 8:13).
