I've been studying the word of God for 25 years, I have Greek and Hebrew dictionaries coming out of my ears, I've got 5,000 books all theology in my library, been retired for 18 years now having only studied the word and traveled overseas quite a bit as an Apostolic International missionary in French and English, have done many videos on theology with two YouTube channels with a very strong prayer life and all I've ever heard from the Lord is to get ready for the worst or prepare for the worst, and in 2008 he told me to strengthen his people and gave me second Timothy 3:1 on my first 40 day fast and the Amplified is not as close to the Greek as you think it is depending on what Greek manuscripts you're using and there's over 3,000 of them, if I were you I wouldn't put all my eggs in the same basket, I'm not a big big fan of John bevere but he said half of the Christians will take the mark of the beast and that means he believes that we're going to be here during the Great Tribulation and I somewhat agree with him, shalom
