Another Step Closer to the Mark

Brother Armstrong posted another interesting article this evening:

Europe’s Latest Steps to Eliminate Cash Post-Davos

How interesting the timing, September 2017?  Rosh Hashanah is 9/20-9/22 in 2017.  Trump or Clinton it never did matter in the long run.  Our Lord has a time in mind for all things.  He has the  time for what is to happen nailed down to the hour:

13And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. 15And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. 16And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 17And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. 18By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 19For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

We know exactly what is going to happen, but only our God knows when.  From the looks of things, events are marching forward without delay.  There are so many moving pieces moving in so many different directions right now only an omniscient God could figure out the end from the beginning.  In the meantime we can all watch what is happening in awe and reverence.  Our God is perfectly in control and He always has been.  Fearful events are lining up to take place on this earth but we who belong to Him are not to live in fear.  We are to keep our eyes on His face and our eyes attuned to His voice.  The same God that took care of us yesterday and today will take care of all of our tomorrows.

Keep the faith.  Pray for all the brothers.  Please remember me and my family in your prayers as I remember you and yours in mine. 

May the grace and peace of the Lord our God be upon you in abundance.

The Islamic Invasion of The West

The Islamic invasion of the West is a rod of punishment in the hand of our God.  Our God, the Christian God holds this Islamic rod of punishment in His hand.  Don't want to take my word for it, great, how about this for evidence:

Chancellor Merkel: “Lord God” Sent Illegal Immigrants

Do I believe her?  Did the Lord God send the Islamic immigrants?  You bet He did.  How can we be so sure? 

Ecclesiastes 1:9  What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

Over and over and over again, who did the Lord use to punish His people when they were in backslidden disobedience?  Their Muslim/Islamic neighbors.  Where did the Babylonian captivity take place?  What religion do/did the Medes have?

Isaiah:13 1A prophecy against Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw:

2Raise a banner on a bare hilltop,

shout to them;

beckon to them

to enter the gates of the nobles.

3I have commanded those I prepared for battle;

I have summoned my warriors to carry out my wrath—

those who rejoice in my triumph.

4Listen, a noise on the mountains,

like that of a great multitude!

Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms,

like nations massing together!

The Lord Almighty is mustering

an army for war.

5They come from faraway lands,

from the ends of the heavens—

the Lord and the weapons of his wrath—

to destroy the whole country.

6Wail, for the day of the Lord is near;

it will come like destruction from the Almighty.^a

7Because of this, all hands will go limp,

every heart will melt with fear.

8Terror will seize them,

pain and anguish will grip them;

they will writhe like a woman in labor.

They will look aghast at each other,

their faces aflame.

and

17See, I will stir up against them the Medes,

who do not care for silver

and have no delight in gold.

18Their bows will strike down the young men;

they will have no mercy on infants,

nor will they look with compassion on children.

19Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms,

the pride and glory of the Babylonians,^b

will be overthrown by God

like Sodom and Gomorrah.

The Chancellor of Germany is telling you this Islamic invasion is per the instructions of the Lord God.  The Islamic invasion of the west includes every country to include Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Belium, Holland, France, Germany, Austria, Australia, Spain, the United States, Canada, all of them being filled to the brim with state sponsored, state supported Islamic hordes.

As this invasion is taking place, has anyone stopped to wonder why?  Has anyone stopped to ask how and why this invasion is taking place?  How?  The Lord God ordered it.  Why?  The corruption, and wickedness and lawlessness of the western world has brought this invasion.  Yes, I know, they don't want to hear it.  These people would say "Who are you to tell me my lifestyle is wicked and decadent and an abomination in the sight of the Lord?"  Well, I am not going to tell them, the Islamic hordes will place their foot on their neck and they will tell them.  And all of this is and will be supported by the governments of the west.

Muslims have started doing sharia patrols in neighborhoods throughout the west.  What are the muslims telling the westerners?  Public intoxication is not allowed, half dressed women with their cleavage hanging out is not allowed, gay men parading their values in public displays is not allowed.  Is this radical or is this the voice of our God speaking through the rod of His anger?  Yes, it is against "western values" to restrict all this corruption and filth, tell that to the Shariah patrols and see how they respond.

It is "western values" that have brought this invasion.  When western values include every perversion known to man, exporting of porn, pedophelia, homosexual lifestyles, war, and lawlessness of every kind then we can understand how this Islamic invasion was birthed.  Who is to blame?  Is it the politicians?  No, it is not.  The politicians are doing the will of the Lord God as Ms. Merkel already declared for the world.

There is a price for disobedience.  There is a price for thumbing ones nose in the face of the Lord God Almighty.  There is a price for lawlessness, wickedness and corruption and we are seeing that price beginning to be paid by every western country on the planet right now before our eyes.  People can argue and disagree all they want to about their "rights" to perform their perversions but now they will do it with an Islamic boot on their neck.  They can protest all they want to, the states, the governments of this world will not lift a finger to help.  This is divine retribution.  This is payback.  This is the settling of accounts and it is just getting started.

As we read in Isaiah 13 Babylon will be invaded by far away armies that are not so far away anymore.  They are here now and arriving each and every day by the tens of thousands.

4Listen, a noise on the mountains,

like that of a great multitude!

Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms,

like nations massing together!

The Lord Almighty is mustering

an army for war.

5They come from faraway lands,

from the ends of the heavens—

the Lord and the weapons of his wrath—

to destroy the whole country.

It is this writer's belief that the headquarters of Babylon is the United States and the rest of the western world has been polluted by her maddening adulteries:

Revelation 14:8 A A second angel followed and said, "'Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,' which
made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries."

I guess those blood moons were "red enough" after all.  Since the last blood moon stood in the heavens the Islamic invasion of the west has gone into overdrive.  How does a worldwide Islamic caliphate bode for Israel?  Do you think there is peace and safety in Israel's future with the governments and lands of the west being invaded and (eventually) overthrown by Islamic hordes?

This is where we stand today, the rod of the Lord's anger is in His hand and it is swinging at the western world daily.  Why is the western world being invaded and not the east?  Answer here:

1 Peter 4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God's household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?


What was the source of the western worlds prosperity and dominance in the past?  It was the Lord God.  What has happened to the west?  They have rejected the source of the prosperity, protection, and provision. 

So, now that the rod of the Lord's anger has begun to swing, what of the righteous?  Again, there is nothing new under the sun.  What has been will be again.  What has the Lord said?

Isaiah 3:1See now, the Lord,

the Lord Almighty,

is about to take from Jerusalem and Judah

both supply and support:

all supplies of food and all supplies of water,

2the hero and the warrior,

the judge and the prophet,

the diviner and the elder,

3the captain of fifty and the man of rank,

the counselor, skilled craftsman and clever enchanter.

4“I will make mere youths their officials;

children will rule over them.”

5People will oppress each other—

man against man, neighbor against neighbor.

The young will rise up against the old,

the nobody against the honored.

6A man will seize one of his brothers

in his father’s house, and say,

“You have a cloak, you be our leader;

take charge of this heap of ruins!”

7But in that day he will cry out,

“I have no remedy.

I have no food or clothing in my house;

do not make me the leader of the people.”

8Jerusalem staggers,

Judah is falling;

their words and deeds are against the Lord,

defying his glorious presence.

9The look on their faces testifies against them;

they parade their sin like Sodom;

they do not hide it.

Woe to them!

They have brought disaster upon themselves.

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.

12Youths oppress my people,

women rule over them.

My people, your guides lead you astray;

they turn you from the path.

13The Lord takes his place in court;

he rises to judge the people.

14The Lord enters into judgment

against the elders and leaders of his people:

“It is you who have ruined my vineyard;

the plunder from the poor is in your houses.

15What do you mean by crushing my people

and grinding the faces of the poor?”

declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.

16The Lord says,

“The women of Zion are haughty,

walking along with outstretched necks,

flirting with their eyes,

strutting along with swaying hips,

with ornaments jingling on their ankles.

17Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion;

the Lord will make their scalps bald.”

18In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces, 19the earrings and bracelets and veils, 20the headdresses and anklets and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms, 21the signet rings and nose rings, 22the fine robes and the capes and cloaks, the purses 23and mirrors, and the linen garments and tiaras and shawls.

24Instead of fragrance there will be a stench;

instead of a sash, a rope;

instead of well-dressed hair, baldness;

instead of fine clothing, sackcloth;

instead of beauty, branding.

25Your men will fall by the sword,

your warriors in battle.

26The gates of Zion will lament and mourn;

destitute, she will sit on the ground.

Why did the Lord give today's Christians the Old Testament to study along with the New.  The Old Testament is a book full of patterns.  Why is that important?  The Lord God does not change:

Hebrews 13:8Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Conclusion

What is happening to the world is the result of rebellion, wickedness, perversion and corruption.  Mankind has chosen their own way and look at what has happened.  Gone, long gone are the days that people could safely bury their heads in the sand and wait a few days or weeks for what they dont like to pass by.  The arrival of the Islamic hordes means peoples heads will be forcibly yanked out of the holes they have dug for themselves and they will face the fruit of the wicked trees they have planted.

For the righteous what is happening is a warning to press in closer to the Lord God and to perfect their walk with Him.  Who can look at what is happening in the world and not tremble:

Hebrews 10:30For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay,”d and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”e 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ
