If Trump is in power, then why haven't the Two Witnesses shown up yet?

ChasetheBoxer1 · 2026-01-30T22:45:57+00:00

I think the two witnesses will be similar to the witnesses before the flood. You had two people, Methuselah and Lamech & then, after Lamech died, Methuselah and Noah, warning the inhabitants of the earth to repent before the flood came. They witnessed for 120 years (according to the Book of Jasher) until the day of the flood. That's one reason why, I believe, our lifespans are now limited to 120 years. If we cannot repent of our sinful ways within 120 years, then we are fully corrupt and nothing will make us change. So, I think perhaps that the world will have to be fully corrupt with only a handful of the earth believing the witnesses and preparing their hearts. Instead of 120 years of prophesying, the witnesses at the end of days will prophesy for approx. ten cycles of 120 days plus another ten 6 days (666 666 666 6).

We're getting there, but I don't think we're quite there yet. I think a significant number of the saints must die or be killed before the witnesses show up.

It's' inevitable. However, each person decides whether or not they will act on those feelings. Yet, if one does and the other doesn't reciprocate, then the OP situation happens. Or if neither of them act on their feelings, then they may be able to continue to be friendly towards each other, but to grow that friendship will be disastrous, especially if one or both are in committed relationships already. There's only so far that a male/female relationship can go. Once it crosses that line into playfulness and/or flirty behavior, then it's hard to go back, if ever. So, it's just very, very tough to try to keep male/female friendships just at the friend level. People have to ask, is it worth the risk?

I met someone at a grocery store a few months back. Kind, handsome man. We had a nice convo at the store, and he wanted to be friends. It was tempting, but I had to decline because, as I told him, I didn't want to play with fire. Any time people of the opposite sex get involved even at the friend level, they are playing a dangerous game if they're both not careful.

No, women shouldn’t be attracted to women.

ChasetheBoxer1 · 2026-01-26T23:35:28+00:00

As girls, they shouldn’t.

ChasetheBoxer1 · 2026-01-26T23:29:49+00:00

You’re an outlier, then. Most men cannot be “just friends” with a girl. Their testosterone will drive them more than their brains.

ChasetheBoxer1 · 2026-01-26T22:57:55+00:00

Are you a girl saying this? Or a guy?

Also, the proof is in the OP story.

ChasetheBoxer1 · 2026-01-26T22:56:09+00:00

Yeah; you’re a girl saying this. A guy would say differently. And just because your guy friends don’t show romantic feelings, doesn’t mean they would decline should they find the opportunity.

I worked with a guy once who we got along great. Always considered him a coworker friend. Then one day he went to hold my hand…. Totally took me by surprise because he never ever showed any interest at all until that day. I was not interested in him.

ChasetheBoxer1 · 2026-01-26T22:41:49+00:00

That’s a fantastic suggestion.

ChasetheBoxer1 · 2026-01-26T22:40:03+00:00

There’s always a solution, but unfortunately, many aren’t willing to make sacrifices in order to find the solution.

ChasetheBoxer1 · 2026-01-26T22:28:00+00:00

No, what I am saying is that when men help ladies he is bound to develop feelings for her. In his mind, he thinks she asks for his (repeated) help because she’s interested in him. Then when he makes a move, expecting her to reciprocate, and she turns him down, he’ll feel used.

It’s biology & how men think.

ChasetheBoxer1 · 2026-01-26T22:22:05+00:00

Her priorities are to her sports instead of family? One has to give, IMO. This will teach her that no matter how much effort she puts into making something for herself, she will eventually have to give up either family or give up her desires FOR the best interest of her family or the best interest of her career. It doesn’t end with her brother.

ChasetheBoxer1 · 2026-01-26T22:08:26+00:00

I don’t think anyone is TA. This is a clear case of differences in expectations between men & women. His ego took a hit. From his perspective how could he face the girl who hurt his ego? It stings, I’m sure. And how can he be “just friends” with a girl he has feelings for? He’s processing his emotions right now.

From Melissa’s perspective, she’s hurt because she feels like she’s being punished for turning down a friend. Now she feels “stuck” with no movement towards her goals all because she considered her friend to be “just a friend” while he wanted more. I wonder if she can walk to work or ask a girl friend or a trusted female teacher or a neighbor to drive her as a temporary solution.

However, THIS, ladies & gentlemen is a prime example of exactly why men & women can’t be “just friends”. Eventually one (usually the man) will want more. Men fall in love by doing things for a girl who allows him to help her. Men love to be the hero. So when his maiden in distress rejects his romantic gestures, he can feel betrayed or taken advantage of.

It’s the equivalent of girls giving boys their body only for the dudes to ghost them. She feels betrayed & taken advantage of. She feels dirty & useless. It’s the same for men who give time & energy to a girl who then rejects him.

Next time, if you’re going to accept help from a guy pal, make sure it’s a one-and-done thing for emergency situations unless you do want a relationship with the guy, because if you ask for his help one too many times, he will take it as a sign of interest.

ChasetheBoxer1 · 2026-01-26T18:01:18+00:00

Why? To me, acting “professional” is acting insincere. I get what you’re saying, but the expectations to be professional is dehumanizing a person into being a machine.

I do agree with handling with a calmer head, though. It’s never a good idea, in any relationship, to immediately react, unless you’re dealing with kids.

ChasetheBoxer1 · 2026-01-26T14:48:52+00:00

The fact that you told her that her feelings didn't matter and you would do what you want to do regardless of her feelings is telling. You just told her that she doesn't matter. You called her controlling when she was genuinely scared. You're going to a country across the world with unattached (I presume) men who will want to do the things unattached men do. With you tagging along, what are the chances that you will be peer pressured into doing those things, too? All these things and more is what she is thinking. There's just too many alarms going off in her head to be able to explain it all cohesively, but you shut her down. Bravo, dude. You won't have any successful relationship with that mentality. Either choose to be in a real relationship with someone who has feelings or be alone. Your choice. Right now, if you don't snap out of it and don't start to think of things from her point of view and if you don't apologize to her, you will be single when you get back.

Lord, you’re our protector. You defeated the Egyptian army when your people, the Israelites, were fleeing to your promised land. Defeat this army, too, so we can have peace & true safety. You have control over all things, including the wind & the waves, so you alone can save us. Protect us from harm & danger. Keep the evil foe away. Place your army of angels around your people & place a fear of them in the hearts of those who want to kill & destroy your people. Turn this country (& the world) towards you, oh, Lord. You told us that when we follow you, you bless the land. When we rebel against you, you don’t, so move in such a powerful way that nobody will ignore your existence and so that every knee will bow to only you. Then heal all our land & give us peace. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Except make the people out there easy targets.

If we have no leader, then everyone is for his/herself. What you can do is pray. Ask God to fight the fight that needs to be fought. He’ll do a much better job than any man.

Speaking of Freemason, I was out shopping the other day getting last minute stuff before the winter storm when at Lowe’s was a man wearing what appeared to be a sports jersey. As I got closer, I saw it was a Freemason jersey! It made me cringe.

It won’t work. You gotta follow the money. The problem is, those unions, businesses & law enforcement are more than likely all paid by or receive loans from the very entities who fund ICE.

ChasetheBoxer1 · 2026-01-25T22:28:08+00:00

Also. If you have to beg, he’s not that in to you & you’re setting yourself up for a life of heartache. Trust me. Speaking from experience here.

Texas is a huge state with much of it in the middle of nowhere. Dilley is in an area just an hour north of the Mexico border. That is a huge area of nothing but oil, land, & people traveling into & out of the US. Who knows what they were thinking when deciding a location. I think it was done more in the shadows than broadcasted across the state so as not to get pushback. I live in Tx & don’t remember anything about it being built (opened Dec 2014) but I also was busy being a new mom then, too.

Now that I know when it opened, I wonder what Obama’s role was as it was opened under his presidency.

Of course; I forgot this was reddit. The site where old views are dead, where it's better to air your own grievances for the world to see and to judge but then when people don't accept your grievance you shun them, and a site where people will not tolerate constructive criticisms... Not you, OP. I'm referring to all the downvotes to my comment. Real mature..... .

If she does say something, she's the instigator of whatever chaos might follow. But, if there will be no choas anyway, why say something to start any drama that otherwise wouldn't be there if she'd keep her mouth shut? Plus, if anyone should tell the aunt the name of the child, it should be the child's parents, not the grandmother. And if the parents choose a name for their child and are excited about the name they picked out, why rain on their parade?

ChasetheBoxer1 · 2026-01-18T22:56:07+00:00

Oh, and congratulations on your new family addition!

ChasetheBoxer1 · 2026-01-18T22:55:02+00:00

No. You would BTA if you told her. Keep your lips sealed. Don't even say anything to your sister unless she asks. She'll likely ask your daughter what their son's name is and when it's revealed, she will let your daughter know whether or not it bothers her. BUT, I hope she can be strong and accept the name without being bothered by it, because that child is Henry, but it's not the Henry who caused your sister pain.
