Does any one here know that baptism itself is a sign of things that have been, that are, and that will be?

The first instance that I can find is the baptism of the flood, water.
The next baptism I can find is the tower of babbel, confusion.
the next baptism I can find is Sodom and Gomorrah, fire and brimstone.

Then comes the baptism of John, water.
Then the schism in the church, confusion which is as it is today.
The next baptism is with fire and brimstone.

At what time did these things take place. Study holy days, and seasons and times.

All things are done in threes.

The baptism of the body is to show spiritual death and resurection.
The schism in the body is getting tossed to and fro by many different winds of doctrine.
The baptism of fire in the body is when one recieves the holy spirit and sin gets destroyed within you.

There is the baptism to show things that happen under the earth, past. this is the old testament and the low road the earth.

there is the baptism to show things that happen above the earth, this is spiritual and taught in the new testament to show the high way the heavens, future.

there is the baptism to show things that happen on the earth, present.
this is physical and is taught by both the old and the new combined and divided. A little here a little there. this is the firmament between the waters below and the waters above.

Look at the signs that Jesus gives us to determine what these things are.

Mar 13:1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings [are here]!
Mar 13:2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

the tower of Babbel was thrown down.
The temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD.
Babylon the Great to be destroyed.

Mar 13:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

Mar 13:4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
Mar 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any [man] deceive you:
Mar 13:6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and shall deceive many.

False religion, false doctrine, those who proclaim they are christs and are not.

Mar 13:7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for [such things] must needs be; but the end [shall] not [be] yet.

We need not get into how many wars have been happening since time began. Again this is confusion, confusion and wars about power, about religion, and about money.
power on earth, religion in the soul, and money to control both.

Mar 13:8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these [are] the beginnings of sorrows.

You see these things for your self in the old testament, in our spiritual walk with faith and work , and they are obvious around us today.

Mar 13:9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

Lot they pounded down the house and tried to take him, Joseph, sold into slavery, Daniel in the lions den and in the furnace.....
Jesus and the Apostles and those who believed in the gospel of the Kingdom of God.
Today we have Holy wars and Jihads and africa, the baltics....too many to mention here.

Mar 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

The Gospel is the good news of The coming of the Kingdom of God on earth.
It was spoken of in old time by the prophets and by word of mouth.
It has been written in heaven the books were opened and the book of life.
And it has been published here on earth in all languages.

Mar 13:11 But when they shall lead [you], and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

take heed.
and go study and learn.

Mar 13:12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against [their] parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.

There are three here look. Cain and Abel. Old Testament. Satan and Michael New Testament, and it is happening here on earth for those who believe only the old ways and or only the new ways.

Mar 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Mar 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
Canaan was a land of wickedness before the flood.
The Tower of Babel was a tower of confusion standing on the Holy Land,
Sodom was a wicked land before the destruction by fire.

Egypt, Jerusalem, Iraq......Africa, the mayans, America,....Find the order.
I don't have time.

Mar 13:15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter [therein], to take any thing out of his house:

be prepared in body, mind and soul.

Mar 13:16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

this one is deep and needs more thought but I'm thinking about Josephs coat of many colors, It's about dying and not going back for your body, It's about leaving your old ways of thinking and not going back to them.
too much here...

Mar 13:17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

If you are just hearing, hear well, because time will be short to learn all there is to learn.
Stay in the middle. Combine both old and new and divide it and find common sense and the middle ground.
just do it.

Mar 13:18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

Pray that our destruction will not be as it was in the old testament or that it will appear as in the book of revelations, but rather as it was in the days of acts. winter is cold, and oil is very expensive it is driving up the costs of transportation food and clothes.

Mar 13:19 For [in] those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

Listen...and hear...and see......study...learn..and understand.

There is also a fourth baptism.
This is death and hell. the fourth horseman.

The old world of Noah under the earth, past Old testament.
The this world being done away with and a new heaven and earth being created, future.
And your world, your body and mind and soul, that is destroyed spiritually, and being recreated in you.

there is a season for everything under the sun.
