Noah and Lot Again

In Luke 17 and Matt 24 we see both Lot and Noah being rescued from destruction, in both cases there we see references that WE (those "in Christ") will be rescued just like they were. I find the comments about Lot particularly interesting. Notice what the bible says about Lot: for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their lawless deeds. I'm convinced that those in Jesus today should be vexed by the lawlessness around us just as Lot was. If people calling themselves christians are not vexed/troubled/grieved by all the wickedness and corruption around us (and it's EVERYWHERE) what does that say about them?

<< 2 Peter 2 >>
American Standard Version

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.
4 For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 and spared not the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, having made them an example unto those that should live ungodly; 7 and delivered righteous Lot, sore distressed by the lascivious life of the wicked 8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their lawless deeds): 9 the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgment;

They Come in Their Own Name

John 5
43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

those presenting themselves to men in their own name are received, while Jesus and the truth are rejected. Men do love their lies and self delusions, their is no love of the truth in them, which is why they perish.

Thoughts for 2008

Maybe......WE ARE OUTA HERE. Maybe not, regardless, time is short. How do I know those who are truly "in Christ" will leave BEFORE sudden destruction comes on this world? The Lord could'nt have been more clear about how He operates. Consider:

From the Luke 17 neighborhood....
until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: 30 after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.

The righteous entered into, or went out to safety, they DID NOT stay put and take the destruction in the face as some would have us believe. There is an escape for those who will obey and believe the Lord's command to be watching for His return and praying for escape from all that's about to happen. (Luke 21:36, Rev 3:10)

This year promises to be a bumpy ride for many people. Could one day this year be the day that puts us face to face with our beloved Savior? Maybe so...

The 10 Virgins

I was thinking this morning about what the Lord says to the 5 unwise virgins in Matt 25, here it is:

Matthew 25
The Parable of the Ten Virgins
1"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6"At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'

7"Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'

9" 'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'

10"But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.

11"Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!'

12"But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.'

13"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.


Many people believe (I'm one of them) that the unwise virgins are "so called christians", or christians in name only. They think they are ready, they profess that they are ready, they "go to church" and do all kinds of other things in the name of christianity, but what does the Lord say to them "I DON'T KNOW YOU." Wow man, that is some harsh harsh stuff, sobering stuff. I can't imagine having the Lord look at me and say "I don't know you" can you? What this means is we truly, truly, truly have to be faithful and obedient, watching and waiting for the Lord's return. Only the virgins who were ready went in. The Mid-trib and Post-Trib crowd have no reason to be watching for the Lord's return today (except that the Lord specifically ordered them to) but that's a dead horse I'll beat again another day. Keep the faith, grace and peace~D

WOW!

This morning I saw one of the most exciting things I've seen in quite some time.

Let's review a scripture first:

Mat 24:3-9 (NIV) As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me."

In the Bible (Matthew 24, Luke 21, and Mark 13), the disciples asked Jesus what the signs of the end times would be. Jesus told them that it would be like birth pains on a pregnant woman – meaning, earthquakes and other signs would occur slowly at first, but then like a pregnant woman about to give birth, they would speed up in rapid succession -- and in 2007, it appears that's exactly what's going on in the world. Events in the earth (earthquakes, floods, wildfires, and heatwaves) and in the heavens (massive storms) are happening faster, and in closer succession.

In Bible prophecy, the rapture of faithful Christians is the next event that will occur, as God's wrath on the nations unfolds, which will be devastating wars and natural disasters and the rule of the Anti-Christ.

Here's where the WOW factor comes in, this morning I saw a list of all the earthquakes that occurred around the world LAST WEEK ALONE, check it out:

Wake up people, TIME IS SHORRRRRRRRT!

Thoughts For the Day

James 4:7
Submit(to give over or yield to the power or authority of another)therefore to God. Resist(to withstand, strive against, or oppose, to withstand the action or effect of,to make a stand or make efforts in opposition; act in opposition; offer resistance) the devil and he will flee from you.


The Lord gave me a nice visual picture of how this works. Picture in your mind a medieval fortress with multiple gates. You are that fortress. When you submit to God you open one of those gates to let the power of God in, His Spirit and His angels into the fort to guard the ramparts and gun down the enemy outside the gates. When you resist the devil you keep the gates closed to him and maximize your defensive posture. If you yield to the devil, he enters the fortress (through the gate you opened to him) and you have a battle inside the castle walls, something you absolutely do not want. Made sense to me :-)

Thoughts For Today

49Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died. 50But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die. 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

I am impressed daily with the shortness of time, I truly feel like any day, maybe today may be the last for us here on this earth until we come back with the Lord in victory. Live today as if it might be your last, it might be. Grace and Peace~D

Helter Skelter and Normal Days Goodbye
Increased polarization of the population
the world reaching critical mass
--------------------------------------------

In Matthew 24 and Luke 17 we see that the Lord is coming back for us during NORMAL DAYS. I suppose normal is a relative word, however the Lord paints a picture for us of the day in which He will return: The characteristics of the day: 37 And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 38 For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 39 and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

and

And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: 30 after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.

These passages tell us alot about what's coming. First of all, the characteristic of the day the Lord comes for us is normal stuff going on, buying, selling, eating, drinking, marrying, normal everyday stuff. There's NO language here that would in ANY WAY indicate the the poo poo had hit the fan yet....the other thing we see is both Lot and Noah were removed/taken out of the way of danger where destruction was going to fall. In the context of what's coming, the whole world is going to be hit, destruction is going to fall everywhere. If you read up on current events and do a little research on what the new world order folks have in store for the world's population you'll have a good idea that the days coming are anything BUT normal. We're talking about worldwide pandemic, concentration camps, martial law, anarchy, famine, plague, in a nutshell-not normal. This is a worldwide event that those who are ready and watching will be able to escape, so be ready, and be watching.... Luke 21:36-But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
---------------------------------------------------
More and more we see a population that has no idea what's about to happen. They live oblivious of the wolf at their door. Many people believe that "something big" is about to happen, but they have no idea what it is. For some of us, the sense that the Lord's return is sooooooo close is almost overwhelming. I believe the Lord has given me some personal signs that His coming is right at the door. They are things pertaining to my life that only He and I talk about. Be watching, be ready we are out of here soon....
---------------------------------------------------
A look at the world today shows that things are quickly reaching critical mass and something is going to give out soon. Consider these things: the economy is about to collapse, the cold war has just resurfaced between Russia and the US, there are a number of different diseases on the brink of spreading pandemically, the bees are dissappearing which is going to lead to food shortages and more famine, the ice is melting exponentially at the poles which is going to lead to coastlines around the world to be underwater soon, israel and iran are at each others throats not too mention what's going on with hezzbolah and the palestinians. The pot's about to boil over friends, the "normal days" the Lord talks about are quickly coming to an end and some new and very bad days are going to be here soon. Be watching and be ready...
