God's plan of salvation, from Abraham to Christ, unfolded on a time pattern (see Mt 1:17). And from the time of Christ onward, it is still following a time pattern, though this one is encrypted in Scripture. In The Blueprint of Time, we will crack the Bible's time code and show how the patterns of history follow it so consistently they suggest where we are in God's plan, where we are going, and approximately when we will get there. Evidence of its predictive capabilities first appeared in The Template of Time (pub. 2010). It predicted the ouster of President Mubarak of Egypt, and in 2011 the Arab Spring swept him from power. Several other unlikely predictions were also fulfilled (this link will take you to my website where the first four chapters are posted; you will find additional predictions toward the end of Chapter One: tompayne.com/the-blueprint-…). Additional evidence supporting the existence of this design of time is the way the last 2000 years of history have followed this time pattern with a consistency that rules out chance. In The Blueprint of Time we will watch two kingdoms evolve: Daniel's fourth kingdom (aka Revelation's Beast) and the Kingdom of God. We will also watch how the 2000 Years' War between these two kingdoms has tragically produced millions of casualties among the saints. Other subjects appearing prominently on time's blueprint are the USA, capitalism, socialism, communism, science, techno-science and the information age. As we watch history undeniably follow this time model, we cannot help but conclude that God is in control. May this work strengthen your faith in a sovereign God and help you endure the times of testing that will soon be upon us, according to the patterns of history. (Copied from the back cover of The Blueprint of Time: How the Eternal Word Shapes Time and History.)

And the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts. But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? (Mal 3:1–2)

For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. (Ro 8:7–9)

@MikeBales entangled

What do you call this?

@Martha99198913 Amen. We live in a shopping mall where all of the stores offer idols for a price. We need to leave this mall and dwell with God.

We live in a rapidly changing and increasingly dangerous world, where many people choose to exclude God from every part of their lives in pursuit of worldly things that can never truly satisfy. Ultimately, those things leave the heart empty,

@1True_American_ Jesus is Lord.

If someone asked you why you still have hope… what would you tell them?

@JeffSmi61769781 Job didn't like His will for him. Nor did Elijah. Until it accomplished its aim. One of the best words in the Greek New Testament is hypomene, meaning "steadfast patient endurance." May God grant it to you and me as we travel through this vale of tears. Amen.

Keith Green wrote, 🎶If you love the Lord, you will love His will for you, instead of questions why, there'll be praise for all He's done for you." This is one of my biggest struggles. Sometimes I don't even like His will for me (which is horribly sinful). Lord, help me please.

Hmm 😒 🤔?¿

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Roman’s 1:16

What do you call this where you're from Hmm 🤔 ?¿

@KObregonWriter And these faith muscles will enable the few to endure the faith test that is coming upon the world. Namely, the Apocalypse.

The trials test our faith The trials test our faith The trials test our faith The trials test our faith The trials test our faith

@GuitarmanJoel God's love is greater than your sin.

What’s the best title you can come up with?

@MikeBales May God give you peace for your sacrifice.

I’m a retired firefighter who’s seen more death and destruction than most people could bear. I carried children who never woke up, told families their loved ones were gone, and stood in the ashes of lives that ended in minutes. Then I went home and stayed silent. We hide the pain so we can keep showing up for those who still need us. Behind every act of courage is a heavy, silent burden we carry so others don’t have to. The job demanded it, and we paid the price willingly. Even now, years later, those calls still visit me in the quiet. I’d do it all again — but I hope people understand the unseen cost behind the uniform.

@Hot_Pepper76 Linda Rondstadt

Name the greatest female vocalist of all time. Any decade. Any genre. No wrong answers.

@janninereid1 I can't say. It would be too ridiculous to me.

Cheetah print, blueberry muffin.🤣 What's your gangster name? 🤔 Happy Friday! ❤️

@KatharinaLeAnn Who they’re actually serving? …Themselves?

Ever notice how fighting w/our brothers & sisters over secondary issues is like an autoimmune disease? The body turning on itself. Sure, loving correction is vital at times, but the nitpicking & petty debates, especially for clicks …makes me wonder who they’re actually serving.

For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment... then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment. (2 Pe 2:4, 9)

One of Satan's biggest lies is making ppl think he'll rule hell. Don't mistake his temptations for kindness. His promises are bait, not blessings. He hates God's image-bearers He never mentions that judgment awaits him too. Hell isn't his playground OR throne, it's his sentence

It's a matter of life and death: "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Ro 6:23). And what a glorious life it is and will be.

@Martha99198913 Paul wrote, "Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false..." (2 Th 2:11). Girls can become boys, boys can become girls, snow is black, yada, yada, yada.

The closer we get to the end times, the more the devil exploits the spiritual and mental struggles of society. As a result, many people have become psychologically and emotionally unstable.
