More Proof of the Escape From All Rapture of The Church

Luke 21:36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

There will be an escape, and where will these people escape to? They will go to stand before the Son of Man. And where is the Son of Man? He is on the throne in heaven, seated at the right hand of the Father (Col 3:1, Heb 1:13).

So we have established: 1. There will be an escape from all and 2. Where these people will escape to. This brings us to scenes that John saw in heaven described in Rev 6 and 7. In Rev 6 and 7 we see two different groups of people in heaven. One group "died in" and is under the alter (Rev 6, seal 5) while another group stands before the throne (Rev 7). The bible telling us about the group standing before the throne gives no indication whatsoever that they died to get into heaven.

So the group in Rev 7 from every tongue tribe nation etc is standing before the son of man, who is on the throne which is exactly where the escape from all group spoken of in Luke 21:36 ends up. That is a direct link between Luke 21:36 and Revelation 7. Not only that but the Lord gives us supporting evidence along the way in Rev 3 (kept from the worldwide trial and open door), Rev 4 (again the open door in heaven and we hear a trumpet), and Rev 4:4 and 5:9 where we see redeemed and rewarded men in heaven (crowns and white rainment).

The book of Revelation is not written in strictly chronological order. I'll leave that for other writers on the web to prove to you. Keep that in mind.

So what has been proven here? There is an escape from all coming and that escape is from earth to heaven where the Bride is found standing in front of Jesus (Luke 21:36 and Rev 7). There is no evidence whatsoever that the Bride of Christ "dies" into heaven in Rev 7 like those under the alter in Rev 6. The Bride (redeemed and rewarded men) are found in heaven starting in Rev 4, they also happen to be seen in Rev 5 and 7, then we go for a looooong absence (like a 7 year or there abouts absence) before the Lord speaks of the church (Bride) again in Rev 19.

The Lord calls the church by name in the book of Revelation, read chapters 2 and 3 for details on that. Those who say "the elect" are the church fail to explain in anyway why the Lord would call the church "the church" in Rev 2 and 3 then switch to call them something else in the rest of the book. The occam's razor answer is the answer, that is, the church is not in the tribulation (at all) which is why it is not mentioned by name (the church). The Bride is in heaven in her bridal chamber during the seals, trumpets, vials etc. Israel may be on the earth. The "elect," post-rapture believers may be on the earth, but the church most certainly is not on the earth...

Was Noah in the ark or treading water in the flood? Was Lot outside of Sodom or was he brushing fire and brimstone out of his hair? Just exactly as it was for Noah and Lot, it will be for us...Read Luke 17 and Matt 24 for details.

The Bride is seen in Rev 4, 5 and before the throne in Rev 7, the next time she is seen is Rev 19. The simplest explanation is the best explanation. Why no mention of "the church" by name in the tribulation? The church was not on earth, it was in heaven.

Debaters and deceivers have talked way too many people out of the simple truths the Lord has laid out for us in the bible. This is not complicated. Time is short. The time for debating ad nauseum has long been over. It is time to decide what you believe and stand firmly on it. It's hard for a runner to sprint for the finish line when he can't even decide where the finish line is. That's what the scoffers and deceivers of this age were sent to do, muddy the water and get you to chase your own tail so you go nowhere.

I am amazed at how many people have been argued out of their belief in the pre-tribulation rapture. As you believe, so you receive so be very very careful what people talk you out of....

Matthew 8:13

Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! It will be done just as you believed it would." And his servant was healed at that very hour.

The pre-tribulation rapture is a certainty. Be watching, be ready.

This Fall (again)

This post is way too long, read it in shifts perhaps :-)

Here's another warning pointing to this fall and 'comet' ELE-nin:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZKuG2lzdXg&feature=feedwll

Luke 21:25“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

The bible tells us that the heavenly bodies will be shaken, and men will faint from terror because of what is happening to the world. Look around today, what do you see? Record earthquakes, record floods, record tornadoes, and volcanoes popping all over the world. What you are seeing here on earth are symptoms of what is going on "up there" in the heavens.

There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. We are already seeing the early groundwork being laid for the signs that are coming. The sun is anything but normal today, the moon is another story longer than what I want to write about here and the stars? Well a brown dwarf star might be on its way into our solar system. People may be able to debate what is causing the devastation on earth today, but it is a fact that something is causing it. Since people have closed their minds to anything but the flesh and its senses today they cannot see much more than what is right in front of their face.

Glenn Beck just aired a show last night where he told people to watch out for this fall, the signs are stacking up everywhere.

With this said, is it possible that nothing out of the ordinary happens this fall? Sure its possible, but if nothing else happens but the continuation of what we are already seeing on earth then people are in big trouble. How much more flooding can Americas farmland take? How many more F5 mile wide tornadoes can our cities take? How much more money printing can our economy take? How much more unemployment can the homeless and hungry take? These things are not future, they are here now.

Ok, so what's the point of all this you ask? There is an escape from all coming. This fall the feast of trumpets starts on Sept 29. Could the Lord come back for us this year during that feast? Sure He could. The feast of trumpets or Rosh Hashanah is known as the "unknown day and hour" since nobody knows when exactly the new moon will be spotted. It also signals the beginning of a new year.

And if the Lord does not come back for us this year? We patiently wait for as long as it takes for Him to come back for us. We pre-tribulation rapture believers are watching for our Lord's return today, unlike all the "other tribbers." We will continue to watch in readiness for our Bridegroom to return for us each and every day until we die out or He takes us out.

Watching end times events unfold has been a lesson to this writer that the Lord can string out these days as long as He wants to, maintaining the status quo right up until the day He is ready to come back for us and begin judging this world. The Restrainer continues to restrain and as long as He does, these days can continue just like today indefinitely. It seems improbable, but its a fact. The Lord determines when the end time calendar moves forward, no one else.

This fall appears as a very interesting time to this writer. The combination of events shaping up right around the Feast of Trumpets makes this year special. Don't get me wrong, I have no idea if the Lord will come back for us this year or not. It is not for this writer or any other writer to predict a date, but we are not in the dark like those who are of the world. We should not be surprised at the Lord's coming. Each and every day should be loaded with expectation, hope and rejoicing that this day might be the one in which our Lord comes back for us.

This writer believes the Lord has circled this fall for some reason in this writers mind. Why exactly I do not know. Because this fall has been circled on the calendar of my mind, I think it will be special. Again, I'm not predicting anything. I have no idea what exactly will happen. I know somethings, like 3 comets are incoming and Israel is being confronted by the world this fall, and the economy has more unpleasant surprises in store for this fall, and the Feast of Trumpets is this fall, and wickedness and apostasy are skyrocketing in this world by the day and will be worse this fall than it is today etc etc.

The Lord might come back for us today so we must be ready today. We cannot wait until this fall or 2012 or 2013 to get our house in order. We are the Bride of Christ and that is the end time perspective that we should maintain as we live out each day in these last days. We are the Bride of Christ and that fact makes it certain that the return of the Bridegroom will be pre-tribulation. We should be full of hope and rejoicing. We should be comforted by the fact that our Lord is coming back for us before the tribulation starts.

The post-tribulation doctrine is a lie and an impossibility because believers at the end of the tribulation cannot be both a. raptured and b. enter the millennium in a human body at the same time. The pre-wrath doctrine is a lie and blasphemes the Holy Spirit by attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to Satan (opening the seals=wrath of satan?).

During these days, while we wait for the Lord's return we should do whatever it is each of us as individuals have been called to do by the Lord. I have no idea what the Lord's task for you is, but I bet you have an idea what that is. Likewise, you do not know the Lord's will and plan for me. We all must "work out our salvation" as we wait for the Lord:

Phil 2:12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed--not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence--continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,

Yes, I know. Churchianity hates this ^^ scripture. They wish it had never been written but it was. Jesus said "work out your salvation," not me. And He said to do it with "fear and trembling." How much more anti-churchianity could the Lord be? Instead of "politically correct" todays so called christianity uses "churchianity correct" to keep people 'in line' with their false doctrines. Lord forbid anyone tells someone else today to work out their salvation with fear and trembling. That might start a 10 day debate on "once saved always saved" the most satanic of all doctrines...If you are "in Christ" when you die, then you will be saved. If you are not "in Christ" then you will not be saved. "in Christ" are the two most important words in the Bible. "In Christ" all your sins are forgiven and everything Christ did on the cross applies to you. If you are not "in Christ" then you get credit for all your sins. How can one be "in Christ" then not "in Christ?" That person can be taken away from the vine which is Christ as John 15 clearly explains:

1I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branchthat beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

This is also why this blog does not allow comments. A writer who desires to speak the truth should not become a slave to 50 pages of hate comments each time the truth is spoken. Many people who claim to have christian websites fear to speak the truth because of what people on their forum or comments might say. They live in fear so they do not speak the whole truth. The fact that we are told to work out our salvation would invite about 5 pages of hate comments and telling people to do it with "fear and trembling" would add about 3 more pages of hate. Why spend time debating what we already know to be the truth? If the Lord said it, its true, period. If the Lord said we need to work out our salvation, then we better figure out what that means and do it now instead of debating who will or will not be saved.

Today's so called Christianity wants to hear pleasant things. They want to hear that they can do anything and still get into heaven. They do not want to hear that they have anything to do with their salvation. Being told to "work out your salvation" means you do have a part to play in your salvation. Todays so called church also does not like to be told to do anything with fear and trembling. Why should they fear and tremble when their doctrine tells them they can do whatever they want and still get into heaven? What's to fear? But Jesus said to fear and tremble so who do you believe? Your "pastor" or Jesus? Your hired hand spiritual CEO or Jesus?

Why fear and tremble as you work out your salvation? Because only a few make it into heaven. Who said that? Jesus said that....

Matt 7:13“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, andonly a few find it.

Apparently our Lord wants us to approach Him and the issue of salvation with a certain mindset. He wants us to understand that this is serious business and not to be taken lightly. He wants us to understand that many many people will not make it into the small and narrow gate that leads to life. Understanding these things puts us on a firm foundation, that is the rock of His Word. The false promises of todays "pastors" are sand and not rock, they will not stand during the time of testing when fire will expose every man's work.

Are we better off hearing the truth spoken by Jesus, however harsh, or lies spoken by men that drip like honey to your ears? Why are we told to be "sober minded" so many times in the Word? It's because people would rather be drunk on satanic fantasies than be sober minded with the truth of the Word. People would rather hear pleasant lies than harsh truths. Being sober minded has a much bigger meaning than whether you have a glass of wine (or 3) with dinner...

We are told to endure hardness like good soldiers. That means that our Christian walk is not going to be a gravy train. We will encounter stiff opposition when we speak the truth. This world is perfectly fine with lies of any kind, they just do not want to hear the truth. The prophets were killed for telling the truth. Our Lord was nailed to a cross for telling the truth. This writer is pushed to the outer margins of the internet for speaking the truth (and he rejoices).

We must have the truth. However much is costs we must have it.

Remember who you are "in Christ." You are, we are, the BRIDE. Get that deep down inside of you. Understand completely what it means to the the Bride in an ancient Jewish wedding ceremony. Our Bridegroom is at the Father's house getting things ready for us right now. Soon, He will come back for us with a shout to take us where He is. We will be hidden away for 7 years in the wedding chamber then we will emerge for the wedding feast. The guests at the feast will be all those souls under the alter in Rev 5 who will be part of the first resurrection in Rev 20. We are the Bride, they are the guests. Remember, one size fits all paintbrush does not fit all believers. The Church is not Israel, they are not us. The redeemed and rewarded elders (did not die in the tribulation) are not the souls under the alter (believers who did die in the tribulation). The Bride and the guests are not the same as those who survive the entire tribulation as believers and enter the millennium either. Different groups of believers=different parts to play.

Be encouraged and full of hope. REJOICE that you have the opportunity to enter heaven as THE BRIDE of Christ. What more special place could we ask for? Do you remember the 'royal wedding' with will and kate? Remember how the worlds eyes were on Kate? They have nothing on what we have waiting for us in heaven. We are the Bride of Christ...oh GLORY TO GOD, we are the BRIDE!

our future is very very exciting. Be comforted, be at peace. The Lord's grace be with you.

How Close Are We?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43106082/ns/politics-white_house

As I watched the video of Mr Obama and Mr Netanyahu speaking today I lost count of the number of time the words "Israel, peace, and security" were used. Anyone watching that speech and hearing those words with any sense of biblical discernment should have this screaming inside of them:

1 Thessalonians 5:3

While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape Note with me please, the words "and THEY will not escape......" But what about us, will we escape? If you are "in Christ" and found worthy then you certainly will escape all: Luke 21:34“Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. 35For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” The rapture of the church is the Bride of Christ going to heaven to the place the Bridegroom has prepared for her. The pre-tribulation rapture is a fact, it is absolutely positively CERTAIN. Forget the naysayers, forget the debates, forget the disputing. Make up your mind what you believe commit to it with your whole heart. Trust the Lord to lead you into all truth. Ask Him to give you revelation of His Word. Its time to get excited. It is time to rekindle hope and gladness and joy and comfort and peace about the certainty that WE WILL NOT BE HERE when all hell breaks loose. We will be in heaven with our Lord. Read Revelation 5 and you will see redeemed and rewarded men in heaven from every tribe tongue language and nation. There is one and only one way they arrive there and that is the open door in heaven in Rev 4, allowing the raptured church to enter heaven with the Bridegroom. Comfort your hearts and be very very encouraged today. Be certain of what you believe. Hold onto your faith and your blessed hope that our Savior God, our Blessed Redeemer draws nigh. Oh glory to God!!!!! time to get ready for work..grace and peace

The Certainty of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture

This morning the Lord did something inside of me that lit me up like a floodlight. I'm not sure how to describe it except to tell you that I was 100% certain, absolutely positive, rock solid convinced to my very core that the pre-tribulation, pre-judgement, pre-flood, pre-time of Jacob's trouble rapture of the Church will occur...pre-tribulation.

While I was lit up inside like this with absolute certainty of the pre-tribulation rapture, simultaneously I became alarmed at the shortness of time. I felt like I wished with all my heart I had more time to do all the things I feel we should all be doing in the Lord's service.

This is a word of encouragement and hope for you. Extensive biblical proofs have been written here and all over the internet proving this point. Make what you will of it. This morning was a very special morning for this writer. I felt like a bonfire of hope and encouragement was lit inside me. I believe it was meant to pass along to you as a message of hope and encouragement.

Next item...things are moving along fast. I am seeing the month of September pop up everywhere as a month that will likely be very bad for this world. Maybe the Lord will be coming for us sooner than almost everyone imagines. Today and everyday forward I highly encourage you to be looking for the Lord's return to catch us up in the air and be with Him forever. We are the bride of Christ and our Bridegroom is coming back for us. Remember who you are, the Bride of Christ. Remember what that means in terms of the ancient Jewish wedding custom. I cannot stress this enough.

Events are heating up at an alarming pace. Obama just made a speech about splitting off land from Israel yesterday. Netanyahu is at the white house today to talk to Obama about it. Future food supplies are being eradicated across the U.S. via severe weather (famine). World war appears imminent. The nuclear disaster in Japan is wreaking untold damage to life across the planet. Comet Honda and Nibiru a.k.a "ELE-nin" are inbound this fall. How many more signs could there be that time is short for this world?

These signs tell this writer that our redemption draws near. The blessed hope, our escape from all redemption from this world draws near. Noah escaped all, Lot escaped all, we who are "in Christ" will escape all. That is an absolutely certain fact. I know it and can feel it with surety in my very bones.

This world has rejected our Lord and the price for that rejection is soon to be paid. For us who believe and embrace our Lord with our whole hearts, an escape is coming. According to the book of Revelation, we will be before the throne with Jesus as the judgements unfold on this world. We the bride of Christ will be in the wedding chamber for 7 years while the world deals with the harvest they have sown for themselves. We will be hidden away during the time of wrath and judgement.

Whatever it is you have to do for the Lord, do it now. Pray for souls to be brought into the kingdom and do it now. Whatever you have been putting off for tomorrow you better get done today.

How short is time? I have no idea. My guess is that time is very short, but no man (including me) knows the day or hour. Keep the faith, be patient, do what you need to do and do it now. These are the things this writer hears the Lord saying today.

grace and peace

More Drama Lined Up for This Fall

As if this fall hasn't been stacked heavily enough by economic collapse anticipation, incoming comets (Honda and ELE-nin) and Nuclear meltdown, we now have this piece of the puzzle to add to the mix:

This week the Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu will fly to Washington on a diplomatic mission. His goal is formidable: pre-empting the "diplomatic tsunami" threatening Israel in September, the Palestinians' target date for declaring their internationally sanctioned statehood within the pre-1967 borders. Netanyahu wants to keep the US at his side while preserving the territorial status quo in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/may/17/netanyahu-obama-washington-showdown

What does this have to do with Christianity you ask? Israel is the center of the world. Israel is the apple of our Lord's eyes and....this fall on Sept 29 the Feast of Trumpets begins for 2011. The fall feast days are the only feasts yet to be fulfilled prophetically and the Feast of Trumpets has the rapture written all over it.

This writer is not predicting the rapture on any given day. The Lord could come for His Bride (us) on any day and we were told to be ready every day for that event. Just so happens that this fall, in August comet Honda arrives and "comet" Elenin will be just 30 days out from its closest point to our sun. In September the earth, the sun, mars and Elenin will all align. That spells gravitational and electric and magnetic effects on the earth that will probably not be good.

Why write to you about the planets and the stars? Because our Lord told us to "look up" when things starting happening on earth. Our Lord told us there would be signs in the sun, moon and stars:

Luke 21:28 When these things begin to take place, stand up and ...

... But when these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near. Luke 21:25 "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the ... ... “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves The powers that be appear to be convinced of what is coming and they are advertising it to the world. Our Lord already told us thousands of years ago what was coming and yet many people remain in denial today. This writer sees all these things as evidence that the Word of God is true and it can be trusted to the letter. This writer sees these things as a coming "flood" just like Noah experienced a flood in his day. Noah was spared the flood in his day and we were promised to be spared the flood in our day: Luke 21:36Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” Rev 3:10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth. 2 Peter 2:4For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell,a putting them into gloomy dungeonsb to be held for judgment; 5if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 6if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men 8(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.c 10This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful natured and despise authority The debate over which rapture view is correct is over as far as this writer is concerned. The objective evidence that proves the pre-tribulation rapture to be true is overwhelming. Only those watching for the Lord's return TODAY are in obedience to the Lord's command to watch always and be ready always. The "other tribbers" willfully defy the Lord's command on this point and therefore have made themselves vulnerable to a number of unpleasant effects. Disobedience never pays, and willful disobedience in the face of direct commands is an invitation for judgement. We have been commanded to watch...today. We have been commanded to be ready...today. We have been told that we are the Bride of Christ and our Bridegroom is coming back for us unexpectantly. Study the Jewish wedding custom carefully. When the bridegroom goes to the Father's house to prepare a place for the bride, then what is the next step? The unexpected return of the Bridegroom for the Bride. That my friends is indisputable fact. Be encouraged today as you see the approach of the flood. Remember Noah, remember Lot, remember who you are: the Bride of Christ and what that means. grace and peace

Proof of the Pre-Trib Rapture in 2 Peter 2

The certainty of the pre-tribulation, pre-time of Jacob's trouble, pre-time of wrath, vengeance and judgement rapture/escape from all has been firmly established in this writer's mind.

Today as I was reading through the book of 2 Peter, I saw more proof of the pre-tribulation rapture of the church in the Word of God. Here it is:

2 Peter 2:4For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell,^a putting them into gloomy dungeons^b to be held for judgment; 5if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 6if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men 8(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.^c 10This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature^d and despise authority.

We know with certainty from Matt 24 and Luke 17 that the coming of our Lord will be exactly in accordance with the stories of Noah and Lot. Noah was protected "pre-flood." Lot was rescued "pre-fire." In both cases the wicked were destroyed and the righteous were spared.

The "other tribbers" might be tempted to say "hey look, Noah was protected through the flood, so you won't escape the flood you'll just be protected through it." Wrong. Noah entered the ark when? Before the flood. Did Noah swim his way through the flood, was he in the flood? No and no. Noah was physically removed from the flood. How was he physically removed from the flood? He was lifted high above the earth...above the flood. Get it?

Genesis 7:17

For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth.

What do we know about the rapture? We know that we will meet the Lord in the clouds. When we are with the Lord above the clouds will we be "protected" and "high above the earth" just exactly as Noah was? Yes. It's an exact fit. We don't need to spiritualize and twist and contort the scripture to make our doctrine fit, it fits naturally and perfectly.

This world is heading toward destruction at breakneck speed. We don't know exactly when the tribulation will begin but we can see massive and unavoidable destruction coming to this earth and it is coming soon.

Financially the world is heading toward collapse. Thats not a matter of opinion, it is now a matter of mathematical certainty. We also know that destructive earth changes are here and accelerating. Record floods, record tornadoes, nuclear disasters, earthquakes, tsunamis, drought, famine and it appears that global war is just around the corner as icing on the cake.

There are three comets inbound to the solar system and close proximity to earth. Comets Honda, Ele-nin (extinction level event=ELE, ala "deep impact") and Levy. Look them up on google. The powers that be are even advertising the arrival of this cosmic doom yet most people remain content to bury their heads in the sand and deny everything. Here's the powers that be announcing to you whats coming, could they be more obvious?

many more I cant remember right now

I write this ^^ to you not to give the powers that be any credit but to credit Him who promised what was coming. The powers that be are just stating the obvious, that is, when the Lord promises something you can bet that He will deliver on it...They know that, I know that, you know that, but many people in the world are still in denial.

What does this have to do with the bible and Christianity? It proves that what the Lord said was coming is coming. Read the book of Revelation and all the prophets. Wrath and vengeance are coming and will make this earth unrecognizable. A great deception is coming="aliens." They will tell the world that they created mankind so forget about Jesus and the Father.

Thousands of years ago, our Lord told us what is coming and now it all appears close to arrival. Should you fear? In no way should you fear. Noah was protected high above the earth, and the coming of the Lord will be just like the days of Noah and Lot. The righteous are taken out before destruction falls, that is a provable fact with objective evidence from the Word of God. There is an escape from all coming (Luke 21:36). Noah escaped all the destruction of his day. Lot escaped all the destruction in his day. We who believe and are "in Christ" will escape all just exactly as Noah and Lot did:

Luke 17:26“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

28“It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30“It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

One last note. I was on vacation last week and I saw two different people from different walks of life that both in the same evening approached me about the Lord (we had spoken years before). They both told me that the Lord was working on their hearts and that they were concerned that time was short and they wanted to be spiritually prepared for what is coming. Amazing..most self described Christians aren't event in the same playing field with these people and they aren't even believers yet!

The Lord is working on building His kingdom. Time appears to be short and the Lord is bringing in the harvest. This past week was an eye opener for me. I pray that the two men I spoke with are now both believers and have entrusted themselves to the Lord. Although you don't know them I ask that you would pray for them that their souls would be brought into the Kingdom.

Another note:

Don't rely on your feelings to bring yourself to the Lord's feet. Make it a matter of disciplined effort. Don't think about it, just do it. In the days ahead you will not "feel like" doing many things you need to do. Take feeling out of it and discipline yourselves to do what must be done. <----This and what is written above are what this writer hears the Lord saying today.

Keep the faith. Grace and peace

Vacation

Keep the faith.

Up Till the Day the Righteous Leave

The other day I was working on the front lawn and I observed some people looking at the two houses for sale on my street. As I was looking at these people shopping for houses a small voice said in my mind "buying and selling." Immediately it clicked. What was the Lord saying to me when I heard "buying and selling?" You are correct if you guessed:

Luke 17:26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29 but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all— 30 so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

Today, even with the economy stuggling people continue to eat and drink, marry and give in marriage, buy and sell, plant and build just as they always have. There is coming a day when these business as usual activities will take a non-business as usual twist. Why? Destruction is coming that will impact all of those activities.

We know that destruction is coming but what I want to point your attention to is the precursor event that occurs on the very day that the destruction falls. That is: The righteous depart.

The very day that Noah entered the ark, the destruction began. The very day that Lot left Sodom, the destruction fell. On the day of the rapture, the righteous will be taken first and the wicked will be destroyed. At the end of the tribulation the wicked will be taken to destruction, and the righteous will enter the millennium. You see, the righteous entering the millennium is a gaping hole in the post-trib rapture doctrine. If the righteous are all raptured at the end, and the wicked are all taken to destruction at the end, then who enters the millennium? I think its safe to say the post-trib doctrine has been debunked.

The pre-wrath doctrine is the easiest to debunk since according to their theory Jesus works for Satan by opening the Seals in Rev 6. The 'pre-wrath' believers call the Seals in Rev 6 'Satan's wrath.' Blasphemy anyone? Jesus alone was found worthy to open those seals and the Bible goes to great lengths to convince you of that.

That leaves us with the only true option for the timing of the rapture, that is pre-tribulation rapture. We are the bride of Christ. We are looking, watching for the return of our Bridegroom for heaven. When are we watching? Now....Why are we watching now? Because we were commanded to.

When the righteous depart, then destruction falls. Does that jive with the stories of Noah and Lot. Yes, it fits exactly with no twisting or 'spiritualizing' of scripture needed. When the righteous depart, the tribulation begins.

There is an escape from all coming (Luke 21:36). We are to be 'kept' from the trial coming on the entire earth (Rev 3:10). Noah escaped all of the flood of his day by being lifted up high above the earth (Gen 7:17). Destruction could not fall on Sodom until Lot was physically removed from the city (Gen 19:22). Could the Lord be any more clear than He has been?

When the righteous are physically removed from the destruction (and the destruction will be global this time), THEN destruction falls. Fits like a glove, perfectly.

Be encouraged then, at the Word of the Lord. Do the stories of Noah and Lot fit with the promises in Luke 21:36 and Rev 3:10? Yes they do. On the word of 2-3 witnesses we accept our truths right?

2 Corinthians 13:1 This will be my third visit to you. "Every ...

... "Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses." We have 4 witnesses here. A 5th witness is the Holy Ghost, a 6th is the Lord Jesus who is the Word, a 7th witness is Luke through whom the gospel of Luke was written, and 8th witness is Matthew who relates the same story in Matt 24 as Luke does in Luke 17. And the list goes on.... This fall, it appears that multiple vectors of destruction are coming to bear. Could the Lord come back for us just before the destruction falls? Its possible, or He could come back for us tonight. Our job is to watch and be ready for whenever He comes back for us. Maybe nothing happens this fall. Maybe we are still around for 5 more years or 10, does it really matter? We watch and wait and remain ready for however long it takes for our Lord to show up. This readiness is a dividing line between us and the "other tribbers." The "other tribbers" mock us for our watching and readiness today. They tell us that there are all kinds of things that must happen first before the Lord can come back for us. This writer is convinced that they are wrong. This writer is convinced that the Lord can come back for us today. The Bridegroom coming back for the bride is a suprise. The bride must be ready for any day that the Bridegroom shows up. That day could be very soon. How should we be living when we can see destruction coming and we know the coming of our Lord is imminent? The answer to that I leave to your discretion. Keep the faith, be strong, be patient. Encourage all the brothers. Be watching. Be ready. grace and peace

Fall 2011

The big elephant in the room that nobody is talking about (mainstream) is what is coming in this fall:

http://www.activistpost.com/2011/05/bad-news-from-nasa-proof-that-comet.html

The Feast of Trumpets is 29 Sept 2011, and all around that date there are indications (for those who are watching) that bad things are going to happen (like massive earth upheaval).

We are to be watching for our Lord's return every day. Could the Lord come back for us sooner than most people think? Absolutely. Am I fearful? Not in the least. The Lord has protected and provided for this writer every day of every year. The same Lord that protects and provides for me, does the same for every true believer. If you are "in Christ" you should not fear. For everyone else, they should take the warnings that the Lord has provided in His Word to reconcile with Him today.

This writer would like to encourage you today. Keep the faith, stay strong for yourself and everyone that comes in contact with you. Encourage each other. Time appears to be much shorter than this world suspects.

grace and peace.

Prayer and Praise

Just a short note today to give you a couple things.

Praise

It was written here recently that I haven't been feeling the closeness of the Lord that I normally do. This writer believes the change in feeling is due to the war around us heating up. What to do about it? Praise Him more. The praise of our mouth cuts through the heavens like a giant razor and our Lord responds to it. Our Lord rides down from His high and lofty seat to right where we are on the river of praise that comes from our lips (that is, when we create that river..).

If you want to experience the Lord's presence more than you do now. Open your mouth, and let His praises start to come out of it. Do not stop praising Him until you get that 'release' to stop praising. We need the Lord's presence, now more than ever.

Pray

The spiritual war around us is heating up, and now many of us can literally feel it. This, along with our many needs requires us to pray and this writer would like to encourage you today with his testimony about prayer. The Lord has been answering prayers. The Lord does answer prayer. That is my testimony. Keep at it, don't stop. Flood the Lord with all kinds of prayers and requests of every kind. Keep at it until you have what you have been praying for or until the Lord tells you to pray for something else.

This writer is finding that each day has become a struggle. Something is going on around us and whatever that something is, its something that I have not felt or experienced before and I do not like it. Something is happening. Something is coming. Things are not "business as usual" anymore. If you have been feeling this way too, just realize that you are not alone.

There's alot we can do about our situation. We can pray, and we can praise. I am convinced that with these two weapons we can move mountains. Don't give up, be persistent. Be a spiritual soldier who keeps at his commanders business till the very very end. You just have to make it through one day at a time, that's all. Our Lord said that each day has enough trouble of its own, don't worry about tomorrow. To that I say..AMEN.

that's all for today. grace and peace

p.s. Why is it I don't write more? Answer: I could care less about reading my own words. If I don't have something from the Lord, I should not, and do not post. So I wait to write until I have something from Him. That's why I don't post as often as I would like to. I have to wait on the Master to do things in His time, not mine.
