What Has Been Will Be Again

Consider:

The Past.....

Daniel 3 :1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, the height of which was sixty cubits and its width six cubits; he set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. 2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent word to assemble the satraps, the prefects and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates and all the rulers of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. 3 Then the satraps, the prefects and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates and all the rulers of the provinces were assembled for the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 4 Then the herald loudly proclaimed: “To you the command is given, O peoples, nations and men of every language, 5 that at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe and all kinds of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up. 6 “But whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire.” 7 Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations and men of every language fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

The Future....

Revelation 13:11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. 12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. 15 And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

The rapture of the church draws very near. Apostate christianity will be exposed for what it is very soon. When those who call themselves christians are faced with death or recanting their claim that they are christians there will be no more "playing church," it will be time to put up or shut up. The time to "get real" is today, eternal consequences weigh in the balance. There's no time left to mess around. Although I do not know the day or the hour of the rapture, I have eyes that see. We are hurtling in a downward trajectory toward some very very bad times. How many more people in America will have to lose their homes before things start to fall apart? How many more people will not be able to feed their families before things come apart at the seams? When the next "terrorist" attack occurs will people wake up? When martial law is declared, will people wake up? When people are scared, penniless, homeless, hungry, faced with terror on every side, will they turn to their Creator? Unfortunately, many will not. Today is the day of decision, not tomorrow. Nobody promised you that you will see tomorrow. Get right with the Son of God, TODAY. May the Lord bless you and keep you, may his face shine upon you, and grant you peace.
