When will Satan be expelled?

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com

'When will Satan be expelled from heaven??'  You know what?  I had to pretty much "re-learn" the Bible after I 'exited' the" JW cult -- the church of the poisoned mind", about 20 years ago, and have learned so much more, with the help of the Holy Spirit,and hard work/ reading/ study.  And we still don't know or understand all of the Bible, but we will some day, when we are in heaven.  But suffice it to say that we MUST know, understand the basics truths, dogma, central teachings of the Gospel and Salvation to GET TO HEAVEN!!  1.  We are ALL sinners.  2.  As sinners, We owe a debt for sin.  3.  Christ paid the 'Sin Debt' we owe.  4.  You MUST RECEIVE CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOUR!  So pray now, to ask Jesus into your heart, confess all your known sins, and thank Him for Saving you.  Amen. 

I am so happy today, even as my right knee and back are still aching and sore from the Winter and extra activity...and laid some money down yesterday on an engagement ring for my closest friend on earth, Terri.  I am a weak sinner, praying every day that God gives me on this run away train, called earth... lol.  And I want to do things right and legal to please mainly my Lord in Heaven.  I don't much give a hoot about the yapping tongues around me, as they will always find something wrong with me [mostly for telling the truth as I see it], but I need to do things right and TRY to set a good example.  I had to endure some very tough things last year without any real help for others-- even from the local church where I live, so I am striking out on my own with all the resources that I can muster, with some REAL, new and old friends, to build a new life for myself-- and another beautiful person who loves the Lord and the Bible, and marry her soon, maybe in 3 months or less.  So..  BE HAPPY FOR US, please, and continue to pray for us!   I have already started passing out Bible Tracts in my new neck of the woods--frozen Tundra, North of Green Bay, WI., and feel good about that.  And looking for a good Bible teaching church too.  I know that the Lord will lead me and use me if I keep myself clean.

My dearest son, Andy, and I, had a solemn deal/ agreement,that he could/ would have/ hold/ u se and keep, all my many tools, welding equipment, carpentry stuff, IF I died before him... and visa versa.  But a strange twist of fate, and horrible circumstance, Andy died before me, on that fateful night of May 10th, last year, only one month after my wife passed away.  So with the help of a very few trusted friends, we cut the lock of one of Andy's tool boxes just to see what was in it, and he had some prize, fine combo wrenches in there, that one friend needed very bad, so I gave Patrick a few wrench sets, but will be transporting the rest up to the Tundra so I can use them and incorporate them into my own impressive tool inventory, my stock and trade as a good college trained, experienced, OJT, combination welder.  It was more than just another 'feather in my hat' -- it was my trade and skill with which I survived being homeless, and pulling myself up by my boot straps--  with all praise and glory going to my Lord and Saviour.  As I have said before, I believe that God allowed me to go thru all that hell and misery in the early 90's to 'break my stupid, prideful, arrogant life style, and mind set' and find the Lord-- and get Saved,which I did, PTL.  Yet, I continued to pick so goofy, selfish, greedy women who were NOT real Christians, who only used me for my material wealth and Chrysler health benefits, before they dumped me.  I used poor judgment then...  but finally found the right lady now!    I know that it's not good to brag about my recent boon, blessing,  but for the life of me-- I cannot find ANY fault in Terri, the lady that I will soon marry, if God wills it.  I also don't know what she sees in ME that endears her to me so much!  But it's easy to be nice and loving to someone who is so giving, pleasant, cheerful, someone who prays often and studies the Bible on her own and loves the Lord, BIG TIME,  and me too!   Well folks, I broke my own code again, by making public some of my personal news and feelings toward another fine human being,  someone I really care for -- and I am taking a chance, for others who read my private, personal thoughts-- to work evil into something so beautiful as  a pure, loving romance, in a corrupt,dirty world, that idolizes anyone and everything, except Jesus Christ...

And I am sinning now, I suppose, by selfishly wishing that God hold back the Rapture, so I can at least have a few years with my lovely Terri.  In my guts, I really feel that war is eminent between Iran and Israel-- as that could very well be the 'lynch pin' before the Rapture..  but only God knows that,IMHO  [in my humble opinion].  

Well, there is much to do in another snowy, dreary, Winter day, organizing and putting stuff in order.  I hope your collective day is good,warm and cozy like mine is, dear friends and readers.  I also post on FaceBook, here and there.

One more important thing, please -- a special, very timely, important blessing for the State of Israel:  "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee:  and in thee shall all the families of earth be blessed"  ~~Genesis 12:3... God's promse to Abraham.    America and other countries bare a 'community responsibility [and curse] for electing a goofy man, who so brazenly 'throws Israel under the bus!!'  We will all suffer a relative curse, IMO,  for electing/ supporting such evil men and women, in power, who disregard this blessing and curse--saith the Lord God!  They either don't know the Bible-- or don't care!  Pray for Israel-- for now is that time when things could really break loose with dire consequences and wrath, please.
  Thanks for taking the time to read my humble Blog:  TOM'S  JOURNAL,  and kindly, please pass it on to your friends, who you think would appreciate it.  Thank you, again.  I think my whole life is changed for the better, and I am 'walking on sunshine !'

Warm Regards to all my dear Friends,

When Will Satan Be Expelled From Heaven?

Q. I just love your web site. I visit it daily and am always blessed by the wealth of information. Keep up the good work you are truly gifted by God with knowledge of scripture. My question is when Satan is thrown out of heaven will that be before the rapture or following and will believers still be here on earth? If we are will we know it?

A. By my calculations the Rapture of the Church takes place in Rev. 4. Satan is expelled from Heaven in Rev. 12:9 just before the beginning of the Great Tribulation. The Church will be long gone from Earth but we’ll know when it happens because we’ll see it from our hiding place in Heaven.

Too Icy Roads in WI.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com

It's been a very hectic, and dangerous week end for us.. in that we hit a super slippery, icy road going back to Union
Grove, WI. on Friday, and it took about 6 hours to drive a normal 4 hour trip, to pick up more personal items, furniture, etc, but the roads were good and dry on the way back, PTL.  We both prayed to and from our destinations, and I believe that the Lord saved us from going into the ditch and/ or into other cars on that combined trip, because I didn't think I was that good of a driver to spin all around next to a cop that already stopped to take care of another ditched and busted up driver on the highway...   The Lord blesses our union, and I don't know exactly why,  but I  intend  to purify myself to do the Lord's work, or as much as I can with a very pained, bruised up, ache body now days in the Winter time when Murphy's Law really kicks into to Over Time, when the weather stresses us and our machines to the limit...Ha!  Certain, discreet people, who love and respect us have also chipped in to help us carry the big stuff so that my Ram Dodge 4 by 4 can tote up to the U.P.   Thank you all !!  I am sure that  you all will be rewarded in many ways from now on, Patrick, Boyd, Amy, etc. 

But our last minute pinched in travel trip was a special maneuver that did accomplish much for us, but just too much rushing around, and a bit too much stress for me.   Terri met my Mom and they both got along very well from the beginning, and seem to have bonded instantly.  Terri bought Mom a cake and some flowers that were well received, for Mom's  up coming birthday in Feb.   Same with Terri meeting my personal, hard working friends.   

My hands and fingers are all cracked open and sensitive from all the [little] work I did, the dry air and Winter weather lately, and I know that I've go to drink more water and cream my hands more often.  We both feasted on some KFC chicken, etc.,  today as Terri came home for lunch for a short time.  

I don't find to much free time to blog these days with so much to put away and try to straighten out-- and Terri is younger than me and much more able, so I try to cut her some slack when she is tired from work.  I would just love  her to retire some day soon, if my house sold, etc.  

Enjoy the article about Damascus being destroyed-- and perhaps sooner than most folks think!  God bless Israel, an those who do honestly BLESS ISRAEL!!  Sorry, folks, that does NOT include our president who does just the opposite.  If I were young and able, I would love to serve in their Army and learn Hebrew....  but I  don't think that there are any open slots for a helicopter door gunner, over age 62, and weighing over 300 pounds....  and I will be age 63 on Feb. 20th !!  Woo Woo!  Send me no flowers, guys... lol.

Syria Under Siege: A Biblical Commentary of Isaiah 17 Posted: 11 Feb 2012 10:16 AM PST By Bill Salus ProphecyDepot.com Once upon a long time ago, the Hebrew prophet Isaiah predicted that the Syrian capital city of Damascus would someday cease to exist. Isaiah, whose prophetic ministry spanned between 740–701 BC declared that it would be reduced to rubble. Some scholars believe this prophecy found fulfillment around 732 BC, shortly after Isaiah presaged it, when the

Just another day in Paradise and not too cold for the frozen tundra.  It's funny how I am usually fighting my way up hill thru every imaginable Brier and trap-- but lately, I just go at things with a good plan and a prayer, and things fall right into place and HAPPEN for me!!  I must add that having a good, close, SMART, soul mate, helps A LOT to make things happen, instead of 'ADDING TO THE PROBLEM' ..LOL!  There is an old Proverb:  "For mere oppression will cause a wise man to act crazy."  In the past-- that might have been me... but now days, things run pretty darn smooth, for a change, and that amazes me every time, PTL.  [PTL, means: Praise the Lord].  Seems like my every waking, or sleeping wish is granted, but I know [and fear] that if I ever act too prideful, the Lord will take me to the wood shed again to "readjust my thinking" -- so if I remember the scriptures, I should be in good shape.  But again, if a man had a Christian soul mate who can gently, respectfully remind/ encourage him to 'stay on the right path' -- severe pitfalls can and will be avoided. Wow!  This makes me want to go out and buy a CAKE!  And there goes the diet again...

I just called the Iron Mt., MI. VAMC to make sure that I am in the system-- "tucked in" and found out that they also have a place for physical therapy, to work out my  Milwaukee VA- messed up knees --during 'their idea' of knee replacement surgery... LOL.  The 2nd knee replacement surgery by a REAL surgeon [civilian] surgery at Kenosha Memorial Hospital, down by Lake Michigan, is healing much better than the older, Dec. 6th, 2010, VA botched up surgery!!  Yet, I am thankful for what mobility I do have, although having to walk with a cane forever, and praising God for all that I have, including a very beautiful, intelligent, fiance,  Terri !

I have so much to do yet,  today.  I write a list every day so I can get more accomplished.  I am already "tucked in" and registered into the new Iron Mountain VAMC and hope that things will continue to go so smooth up here.   I am informing many of my new mailing address, but my email address will prob stay the same.  I hope to get some pictures posted soon.

 I hope this Blog post finds all my friends and readers in good shape and the best of spirits... and I wish more of you would email, and comment, please.

Warm Regards,

Sunny Saturday.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com

I just sent my new snail mail address to some personal, very close friends that I hope I can trust with my very life on earth, a while ago, and thanked a very close, dear friend and her family for doing so much hard, physical and artistic work, cleaning up my old house that will be showed in the near future--FOR SALE.  It is set in a Main St. commercial area, but also slated for residential-- as I lived there for the past 9 years.  I always marvel what a whole man's self worth and accumulation of "stuff".. POSSESSIONS, JUNK, A FEW TREASURES AMOUNT TO.  It's kind of sobering to wonder when we approach death, what was our life all about, and what did we get accomplished, what our goals were, and where we think we are going.  Sober things to ponder-- for sure!  We also wonder how some folks spend most of their waking hours cussing at their bed partner, going through life complaining non-stop, negatively, with their wine glass half full or half empty, when they've never been outside of their own small town or village... lol.  "Ignorance can be cured-- but stupidity is forever!"  Since I don't believe in 'LUCK' -- I do believe that I am truly blessed, although some things sure don't come easy or just all into my lap!!  God makes me work hard for everything I have and hold!!  It's not that I deserve it--  it's just that God loves me big time, and He loves others who are also blessed by my humble efforts of making them happy and fulfilled, IMHO.   Putting, or allowing some fine, smart, kind,  
God/ Bible loving people in our paths, at the right time in our lives, is such a beautiful blessing, that makes up give personal and public BIG THANKS to the heavenly FATHER, and further produces much praise, joy and happiness that over flows into the lives of all we touch!!  I feel that my joy is reflected toward all others I meet in every day life, so that they react positively in a most demonstrative manner-- even at the North Chicago VAMC [Veterans Administration Medical Center], etc.  And it becomes a 'chain of praise,' for everyone concerned, that is quite contagious.  I hope YOU ALL catch it!

And, yes, we are sick to heart when a young person dies, especially someone in their prime who has their whole life  of opportujity ahead of them as a productive citizen, much loved -- unexpectedly, without any valid reason, carelessness, stupidity, ignorance, or just plan accident, and/ or  being in the wrong place and the wrong time! 

For people like me, who always asked many questions and got little real answers, or worse, lies, when I was young, from religious leaders, priests, etc., who could not produce, EXPLAIN, or quote Scripture ONE...!!  I was like a sponge, always learning, studying, striving to get to the real bottom of things-- the 'TRUTH that would set me free!'   That TRUTH can only be found in the Bible, and THAT IS WHAT FULFILLS, ENERGIZES, SATISFIES MY ACHING HEART AND SOUL, dear friends and readers.   So... look for that instant tell tail red flag go up when/ if you go into a new, or different church, and there are not any Bibles in or near the seats, or you seldome see any of the church goers carrying in their own copy of the bible -- BEWARE!!  If that is what you see in that church, run from it, because they are most likely a plastic, 'feel good' church, without any substance, or involved teaching of God's Word, too Liberal, and full of the teachings of men, corrupt, teaching the people to be lazy and not encourging them to OPEN and READ the Bible for themselves!!!  You just MAY BE BETTER OFF reading/ studying the Bible in the comfort of your own private home, instead of getting the words of mere mortal men who also demand your money.  Too, listening to a good, Bible teaching, Christian radio station, like WVCY 107.7 FM -- Milwaukee,WI., which you can also pick up on your computer, is a great idea, and they will also lead you to a local place of worship with people of like faith, who also love, respect and USE the Bible daily.    
      Where to start?  I always recommend first:  the book of John, and then Romans.  Then re-start at Genesis and read the would 66 books.  Yes, some of it may seem 'dry' and cumbersome, but just imagine if a student doctor in med school only studied his favorite subjects, and years latter lamented that he only knows how to do a "one trick pony show" type of procedure....duh.  So.. get the whole, well rounded back ground, and remember that the Bible is written on a 5th grade educational level, please.  JUST DO IT!  It's kind of like Basic Training [boot camp] in the military,  you are proud and glad you did it-- but you really don't want to repeat it. However,  true Christians find much joy, love, peace and cheer while reading God's Word!  And since we all need the Holy Spirit to HELP us understand the scriptures, that inner peace and joy is with us when ever we crack open that precious Book!  

"Happiness is a BI-PRODUCE of serving God."  While finding a good, Bible teaching church might be a daunting task now days-- with all the bad, wicked New Age and satanic infiltration of Liberal thoughts now days...  just sitting down by yourself or with you soul mate, and/ or family, you can get so much from just reading the Bible together, out load, take turns reading for participation, and if you are all sincere and ask the Holy Spirit to guild you-- you will learn!  You should and will gain more "fruits of the Spirit" listed at Galatians 5:22, 'Love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, self control, etc...'
Just the other day at that nasty place of business I had to pray so hard to keep myself from saying something bitter or threatening to the staff there who lied and verbally abused me-- and the Spirit DID help me get through that very traumatic episode.   grrrrrrrr!  LET GOD TAKE CARE OF THINGS!  LET GOD FIGHT AND VINDICATE YOU!!  LET THE LORD OF HEAVEN DEAL WITH AND PUNISH THE 2 DOGS WHO CAUSED ME SUCH 'GREAT LOSS' THIS PAST MAY 10TH, OF SOMEONE SO DEAR AND CLOSE TO ME, only one month after I lost my mate.   Just how do you think such well trained combat Veterans get through such traumas and episodes in life and deal with these nightmarish times??  We lean on the Lord.  But it's always so good to have a loved one, a soul mate, to have and to hold, to care for and help you over the rough spots in life.

So much to do, but it's  Saturday, and time to lay low, rest and get ready for the next work day of problem solving.  In the mean time, it's nothing short of miraculous how things are developing for me.

I am sorry if I seem somewhat cryptic or puzzling lately, but it's for security reasons that I am not more finite in describing things, and I want to protect and honor my loved ones, etc., and we love and protect our privacy, etc.

 Great Song:

2:55Farther Along [Live]by GaitherVEVO




The good news is:  'God cannot lie' ~Titus 1:2, and all He says comes true... ALL Prophecy!  Side point: We all have to eat crow sometimes, even great and lofty kings and princes.  I had a somewhat hectic day today, running late to see a pompous, INDEPENDENT contractor who was so full of himself, etc, and his goofy staff too, called Miller Mobility, in Waukesha, WI 53188.  Anyone from WI knows that it is so easy to get lost in that crazy, upper crust town with a river running thru it, so I called them up to get better directions and got a snotty, self righteous female named, Val, who only made fun of my plight, joked and jerked me around, when I was running out of gas, running against a strict appointment and JUST WANTED TO FIND THE PLACE!!  After the sawed off owner/manager turkey finally got there, he insisted that I apologize to the 2 women at the front office, without even getting my side of the story, and I was on my best behavior all morning, but I just prayed so hard not to lose my temper, but had to jump thru ropes for that independent, goof ball hot shot, and got my business done.  I had a similar problem with him before many years ago and just LOATHED going back there again, but was short on alternatives and had to deal with him to  find out why my power lift didn't work to let down my power scooter down out of my truck!!  I can promise that I will NEVER go back there again in my life time, and just want all to know what kind of loathsome, disrespectful treatment I got!  And on the phone, trying to just get some simple directions, Val, suggested that I "trust in God more in the future when I had a problem finding a place...."..duh.  Well, on the way back I trusted in my new smart phone with directional finder, voice activated, to get me home, and it worked just fine, and I am not ashamed of it-- as I do have a lot on my mind right now.         Well, their "service" and replacement product cost me over $200, and I sure as heck wasn't going back to get the part, but had it shipped to my house.  Their email address:  www.millermobility.com   --Please wait for a few days before contacting them--so I can get my much needed part.  Thank you!
    So, I had my good friend, Glenn Sprague, real estate broker, plant a 'For Sale' sign in my front yard yesterday... and for the record, I was so tired of living in this one horse town with corrupt politics, and poor 'Eminent Domain' ethics, a few years ago when the village wanted to tear down many old, historic homes on Main Street, to make room for their hair brained 'enriching their pockets tax structure' that jacked up all our taxes anyway.  My friends said that I was  one of the very few  with a spine who publicly fought and stood up to the 'city machine' and was even published in the Racine Journal News Paper for a piece I wrote, that shut the city down on that illegal issue-- and then State after State started passing the right legislation to turn that illegal ball around too, so municipalities could not pervert the 'Eminent Domain' laws of the land.  That made me feel good inside-- to use my skills to do something right for the community, although I've been published before in Kenosha, WI too, on a 2nd Amendment issue, etc, etc.  Ha!!  I get my licks in-- but it's time to move on, and I was seriously thinking of moving away before at this time of my life-- but something BIG and wonderful finally bit me on the nose to change my tack in sailing in a different direction-- 'UP -- North.'  And I pray to God every day that this is not just a dream... lol.   And one big reason I often quote Proverbs 27:17, is that I have not had much "Iron" to sharpen myself with lately...down here.  But really, folks, it's not just here in my back yard-- it's the whole world under Satan's control that is spinning out of control.  And yes, I intend to vote for the person who best protects our sacred U.S. Constitution, but Bible Prophecy MUST and WILL be fulfilled!!  
     My thanks to Anita, who came over yesterday to help clean and organize my humble hovel, and to Patrick and Christine from my church who have helped me so many times when I was injured and disabled.  I don't forget my friends-- OR those who trespass against me-- although I must and do forgive them all... according to God's Law.  I have no doubt in my mind that the Lord will recompense all who wantonly take away LIFE, outside of legal combat and war,  even as my loss last year was so great, in my dear son, Andy, and I miss him so much.  I can only hope that he gleaned enough of my words to bend knee and kiss the Son-- so that he will be resurrected to Heaven, pray.  
      And what have all of us been doing with our collective lives while on earth, along with all our many joys, sorrows, defeats and victories??  If we never took note of the Gospel of Salvation, and stored up some treasures in heaven, our meager 60-80 years on earth perhaps was sort of empty, and hollow.  I have long acknowledged that I am a nasty, old sinner man, deserving of death and hell, but I have also publicly acknowledged that Jesus Christ is my personal Lord and Savior, without whom I could not stand.  '
    I just heard on WVCY, or UP-NORTH Christian radio, that the Lord usually waits for us to sleep..'when our ACTIVE brain shuts down' to allow the Holy Spirit to work it's miracles in bring us to proper understanding and taking the right path!  But I only heard the tale end of that statement... and wish I could have caught more of it.        Well, folks, I believe that a nasty flu bug is going around right now where I live, and I caught a touch of it, but used some healing herbs to level it out and it helped me-- and every culture seems to have their own tricks and potions to get them thru the worst.  For me, Ginger, Garlic, Elderberry and cayenne seem to work, but I am not prescribing anything... only suggesting what works for ME.  Come to think of it, I was close enough to spread some of my germs at Miller Mobility, in Waukesha, WI., this morning, but not on purpose...lol.  

Have a great foggy day, dear friends!

Warm Regards,
Tom Schuckman

Just some very busy days ahead of me where I live... so much to do that it all seems so daunting!  I always make a short list-- or a long list the day before so I can get as much done as possible, because left to itself-- the mind gets blindsided, for sure..."Murphy's Law" kicks in,  and Confucius say that:  'Short pencil better than long memory.'  But I am sure that wise old King Solomon has something to say about this subject in the book of Eccl.  

The good, wise, highly trained girl, good looking red head, at the North Chicago VA Hospital, Meleyna,  that was my doctor's "gate keeper" was transferred to a different dept is the reason why that old area is so jammed up and frozen now-- because the 'new girl' just has not learned the ropes and has such a long way to go to fill the shoes of her predecessor.  It boils down to what is called a "Key Employee" that is darn near irreplaceable and highly valued-- and worth her weight in GOLD!!  And I heap high praises on those who deserve it.  You don't see many of them now days, especially in the Federal employees area. BTW, Please pray for  dear, old friend of mine, Debbie, from Kenosha, who is trying to get her old job back soon.  She is having a rough time of it, now days.  Thanks.   But you still have to bare with the slower people or they will get nasty and mess you up royal... so it's always been the case, and don't I know it.  What blows me away is when I use the best, finest English to explain what I want-- and they still look  at me like a German Shepard  dog  staring into a fan... and have not got a clue...lol!!  And this is NOT belly-aching, this is only stating a fact.  
     I got my noble dog back from my brother Albert, and he brought me a piece of bar b q'd chicken which I ate although it was half raw-- so hungry, and d
early this morning it turned into diarrhea!  Thanks Albert!  He doesn't do computers or InterNet, anyway... But now I have to worry about going to the doctor today and not ruining/ soiling myself...Ha!  
   My very firm, space age bed/ mattress gave me such a good, restful sleep last night...Wow!  PTL --[Praise the Lord!]. But the back is still hurtful, and some of that could be the damp weather, although it's like Springtime today.
     I am very proud of my new relationship with Terri and announced it on FaceBook last night-- but I will still keep the 'cat in the sack' for a little while longer regarding SOME people who are not in the loop, because they won't understand-- and perhaps a bit myopic or what ever, and I don't need any more stress or negative vibes right now... which such a full plate in front of me.  I am very happy, and so is my soul mate, but on my end-- it still seems so daunting with 'giants' in front of me.  I am in constant prayer, and so is Terri.    
   I better carry an extra pair of pants with me today...lol... and underwear.  
      I need a cold caffeinated soda now to keep me awake-- to keep my appointments, or I will be in deep doo-doo.  The winch on the back of my truck bed won't work so I can't use my own power scooter now, and that will cost me more money again.. but I need it.  
   Your collective prayers are so welcome and appreciated, friends and readers.  Thank you!  Just wait until I get a new batch of pictures developed!!  Woo Woo!  
    And remember:  The Navy gets the gravy, and the Army gets the beans.

Warm Regards,
Tom
