- - Running out of time:
We (servants of God) are running out of time to get everything done - all of our ministry work, because April
3, 2034 is coming quickly. As
"
spoken of through the prophet Isaiah
[40:4]
:
"
A voice of one calling in the desert, `Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.'
""
(Matthew 3:3)
- - A relating end times event to currently watch for:
If the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem indeed will start in the middle of the year 2034, therefore
it seems logical and necessary that Jehovah God would need to utterly flatten in an earthquake the Dome Of The Rock mosque years before 2034, which of course could
occur any day
now until then.
(written in September, 2023)
___________________________
- - Expect to increasingly incur property damage and losses of various kinds:
- - During our time, especially since about the year 2020, there has been occurring frequent news and scientific reports about how destructive weather events are becoming increasingly more frequent and more destructive.
- - Furthermore, reports document that there are significant overall increases in the occurrences and destructiveness of other kinds of events in nature, such as wildfires, droughts, floods, volcanoes, earthquakes, tidal waves, famines, plagues, insect infestations, virus pandemics, and etcetera.
- - The world thinks that mankind's actions are contributing to many of these adversities that are increasingly coming upon the earth, which may to some degree be true.
- - But these increases in destructive phenomena may furthermore be due to God's actions, plan, and timing to bring discipline and judgment upon the accelerating wickedness of peoples and societies around the world.
- - In the same way that God causes the rain to fall on "the righteous and the unrighteous" (Matthew
5:45), He causes destructive weather and catastrophic events in nature to befall the righteous and the unrighteous.
- - As a prime example, in Genesis chapter 19 is recorded that when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah (vv.19:24-25, 27-29) due to their wickedness
(v.18:20), Lot lost his house (v.19:2), all of his property and belongings (vv.19:16-17), his wife
(v.19:26), and his two future sons-in-law (v.19:14-16), but not his two daughters (v.19:16).
- - Even though Lot experienced huge losses in God's discipline and judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah, God did "rescue Lot" from death, being "a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men"
(2 Peter 2:7).
- - As the wickedness on the earth during our time accelerates to perhaps surpass the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah
(Genesis 18:20), we should expect God to inflict more of these calamities, disasters, destructions, and losses.
- - Thereby, we should also expect that we true believers will nevertheless suffer various kinds of losses and incur property damage, albeit collateral damage, from these destructive and catastrophic events that God is now increasingly inflicting on the wickedness of the peoples on the earth.
- - "The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord." (from Job 1:21)
___________________________
- - Permission To Translate These Documents Into Your Language
(Now amicably expanded (in January, 2024))
:
- - I am hereby offering to grant permission to any true believer who is interested, that you can translate any of my documents
in this website into your native foreign language, and then distribute them, or post them on the Internet.
- - I ask that you provide your translated documents for free, and not sell them. However, you can provide a way for
the recipients of your translated documents to extend a freewill
monetary donation to you.
- - I ask that you take the time to translate each document as accurately as reasonably possible, and not pervert or adulterate the doctrines, concepts, and meanings of what I have written.
- - You can translate from the New International Version (NIV) the Scripture verses I use, thereby rendering no need
for you to secure copyrights from the owners of any Scripture translations.
- - Perhaps you would prayerfully consider the possibility of your church, or Bible college / seminary, or
ministry group pulling together a team of select persons with the skills to start and operate your own
ministry website like mine here, in which these documents are translated into your native language and
posted on your website for free download.
- - An apparently feasible option is to form a project collaboration with some other like-minded Bible colleges, wherein their students volunteer to do the initial translation work on documents of which they are interested in the topic, while the faculty oversees, coordinates, facilitates, and coaches those students, followed by the more proficient translator persons in the colleges (who are both fluently bilingual and theologically trained) doing a final proofreading and correcting in the documents.
- - This option possesses the intrinsic benefits of having the students do hands-on practical ministry work while simultaneously working together with other students and faculty, and simultaneously learning the theological, ministerial, and application-al contents of
the documents that they are translating.
- - Another benefit of this project is that the participating colleges acquire a means of extending ministry
training and ministry assistance to the people of their language throughout the world, furthermore enabling
those colleges to easily install more ministry and theological materials in the future.
- - Subsequently, general overall yearly statistics of numbers of downloads and views of the translated documents that are on the project's website could be made available to students and faculty, which should serve to edify, exhilarate,
and motivate them in doing ministry work.
- - I will be very glad to feature on my website a description of and a link to your ministry
website, where you have located your translated documents.
- - If you have credible need, I may be able to secure some financial funding to help support
your translation activities in this regard.
- - Furthermore, I am available for free consultation to help you get this
kind of ministry website going, and to provide you with clarification of the intended meaning of any words,
phrases, or sentences that I used in any of these documents.
- - I can be contacted by E-mail at:
CoddingtonHome@Juno.com
Translating Help Needed:
- - I am wanting to partner with a person (or group) in the ministry work of translating some of my ministry documents from English into
Spanish, to be placed in the Spanish
section of my website.
- - I am looking for a true believer who is very fluent in both Spanish and English, and is skilled in translating them in typed form.
- - Similarly, I am wanting a person (or group) to translate my ministry website documents from English into
Portuguese, to be placed in the Portuguese section of my website.
- - Do you know of anyone (or group) who may be interested in doing this kind of ministry work that has proven to reach countless numbers of people in various places in the world?
Relating notes of praise and prayer requests:
(dated January, 2024)
- - Since first posting this notice of "Permission To Translate These Documents Into Your Language"
in July, 2023, I have already seen in my website statistics the presence of substantial convincing evidence
that a group has begun working on translating my documents into a foreign language. PRAISE THE LORD
!!!
- - Please pray that more persons and groups would be raised up to translate the documents on my ministry
website into their native foreign language and post them on their website for free download.
- - Also please pray that within every group that takes on this ministry objective, there would be:
excellent leadership; skilled workers; unity, harmony, collaboration, and godly behaviors amongst them; the
maintaining of quality of accurate translations; and the timely-acquiring of sufficient resources to
accomplish with excellence the creation of these translated ministry documents on a corresponding ministry
website.
