Your Talents
... I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it." |
"If you love me, you will obey what I command. . |
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. |

Warning and Encouragement
Jeremiah 38:20 "They will not hand you over," Jeremiah replied. " ...
... "Obey the LORD by doing what I tell you. Then it will go well with you, and your life will be spared. ... Your life will be spared, and all will go well for you. |
Isaiah 3:10Tell the righteous it will be well with them,
for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.
11Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them!
They will be paid back for what their hands have done.
These are the things this writer hears the Lord saying today.
Keep the faith. Maintain peace, hope and love. Be watching. Be ready.
grace and peace

Judgement Through the Creation
8The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, 9a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— 11the name of the star is Wormwood.a A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
12The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.
Every single one of these events ^^^ are impacts on the earth from outer space. Where would a mountain all ablaze fall into the sea from? You know the answer. How about all the mountains being leveled and all the grass being burned up etc etc? How would that be accomplished through the creation? Think about it. The Lord expresses His wrath and judgement on the creation through the creation...The Lord's warning is a blessing. If souls are turned to repentance and can receive the Lord's grace before wholesale judgement and wrath are poured out, is that not an act of mercy and grace. Today is a day of mercy and grace.
Look around you at what is happening in the world. We are setting every kind of weather record there is daily? Is that business as usual or should we awaken from our slumber to the precursors of the Lord's judgement on this world?
If comets Honda, ELEnin and Levy all pass the earth starting in August and the only result is we have more of the same record setting negative earth changes (flood, tornadoes, fires etc) then the Restrainer has continued to do His work and we can all thank the Lord for another day of relative peace.
If these comets pass by and we have results more like comet 2000 PN9, which was at earth perigee on the very day of the Japan earthquake and tsunami, then we should get our house in order with the Lord today.
Should we fear? No. Should we worry? No. Should we turn our whole hearts to the Lord today? Yes. Should we rid our lives of anything that displeases to the Lord? Yes. We must be servants who are found watching when the Son of Man arrives. We must be a ready Bride who goes out immediately to meet the Bridegroom at His coming.
This writer is not predicting anything. The Lord has pointed this writer's attention in a certain direction and this writer is communicating to you what he sees with his limited human senses. A look around us at the world should be all the evidence any of us who are spiritually sensitive should need to know that everything is not right, and everything is not business as usual with the world.
Sin leads to judgement, wrath and death. That is an elementary teaching from the Word of God. This world is full of sin. What should we expect the result will be in the coming days?
We are not the world. Why should we fear? We have many promises that the world does not have. We must stand on the promises that have been given to us. Things will go well for the righteous...that's a promise.
Isaiah 3:10Tell the righteous it will be well with them,
for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.
11Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them!
They will be paid back for what their hands have done.

Our Reaction to Events This Fall
1 Thessalonians 5:1 Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not ...
Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, The Lord has stressed to this writer many times that "what" is going to happen is something we can be involved in through prayer and intercession etc. "How" and "when" things happen are the Lord's alone. The scripture listed above is proof of this, it has to do with "when" things will happen. We are not talking about specific times and dates here for biblical events but do I think it is important to nail down a general time for the rapture, ie before the tribulation? Yes. Does the Lord bother to tell us when Lot left Sodom? Yes, before the fire and brimstone fell. Did the Lord bother to tell us when Noah entered the ark? Yes, before the flood. Has the Lord told us when the escape will be? Yes, before the time of Jacob's trouble and the tribulation. All Christians experience tribulation in this life but not a single Christian that has ever lived has ever experienced "the" tribulation. Why? Because it hasn't started yet. Can you show me anywhere in the bible where we are told that the vast multitudes who have died "in Christ" in years past are somehow differentiated from those who are "in Christ" now? What do I mean? Vast multitudes of Christians have lived their lives on this earth and did not/will not ever have to endure the tribulation. The apostles didn't go through it, the early church didn't go through it, so why exactly is it that today's true church "needs" to go through the tribulation? If yesterdays true church did not "need" to go through the tribulation, why would today's true church need to go through it? The idea that the Bride of Christ on earth today "needs" to go through the tribulation, but the Bride of Christ that died in days past did not need to go through the tribulation is utterly ridiculous and unbiblical to the extreme. But that is what the "pre-wrath" and "post-trib" teachers and preachers would have us believe. They tell us that although multitudes died in Christ in years past, being right with the Lord when the died, somehow we are different that they are. Can you show me that in the bible? No, you cannot because its not in there. The tribulation has a purpose, it is not some random event. What did God Almighty say the purpose of the tribulation is? |
He replied, "Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed |
up and sealed until the time of the end. |
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun |
