Re: A Personal Announcement

As Jesus said, no one knows the day or hour of His coming, Some here on this forum think He as already returned, some think He will not return until 'Judgment Day'. The biblical conditions for His return can be fulfilled in hours, if He so desires. Therefore, as a thief in the night He might return even tonight, or perhaps in another thousand years. However, the true question remains:

No one can be absolutely certain that they shall live to see another day - so, regardless of God's time table, are you ready to met Christ face to face, right now?

Actually, I figured out the 'time'. It will be during the 2 PM hour. Now, if we can get three more folks to figure out the day, month and year.....

As to women in 'eldership' positions: We know that there were appointed elders in the local churches, the Apostle Peter referred to himself as an elder, and we know that Anna was prophetess, that office being listed second only to the Apostles in order of spiritual authority. So yes, as the Holy Spirit directs, calls, ordains and establishes, women can be elevated into eldership positions. From women appointed as Judges (whom God preferred over the kings to rule Israel) and to those who were called as prophets (His personal spokeswomen), who will now challenge God's decisions? Personally,I will leave that to the more bold among us.

God bless you brother.
