What's the nexus with Christianity? Read the book of Revelation. The Lord in His infinite wisdom will use massive earthquakes from Revelation 6 on to get man's attention. I would argue He is using them even now.....So far the Lord has been merciful, we have had numerous high M6 and two or more M7 quakes over the past 2 months but they have all been in unpopulated areas of land or in the sea. Any one of those quakes would have devastated a highly populated city. I call that mercy and warning. The expected mega quake that may or may not happen soon could occur in the same unpopulated areas or in the sea causing minimal or no damage. It could happen, the world will yawn and press on with their business as usual lives. Or, we could have a mega-quake under or near a highly populated area which would be catastrophic.
If we draw a line through all the data pointing directly to the tribulation it appears that what we are seeing now is a warning of whats to come. We do not have to guess whats going to happen, the Lord tells us clearly, earth devastation and death on a scale unimaginable are coming. That is biblical fact. We don't know when but a look at the world around us suggests its not far off.
Last night I was in bed crying out to the Lord for the souls of the brothers, my family and myself. The people who take for granted that they are "saved" before they have finished the race are fools. The once saved always saved doctrine is one of the greatest satanic triumphs ever. We are saved by grace through faith. That is how we enter into Christ and are covered with the blood of Jesus for the forgiveness of our sins. Then we must REMAIN there. Read John 15, it makes an airtight argument that we MUST REMAIN "in Christ." We have to enter "in Christ" and we must remain there, period. Thats not my argument, thats the plain reading of the Word of God. How many souls will perish eternally in flames because of their belief in a lie? If Matt 7:14 is any guide many souls will not enter the gates of heaven, few will. Why? The prevalence and acceptance of doctrines such as "once saved always saved-OSAS." Make a 'decision' one day then it doesn't matter what you do (or so they tell you).
Phil 2:12Therefore, 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,13for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.
1 Cor 9:24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. 27No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
| I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. |
When does a runner get the prize? When they have FINISHED THE RACE, and not a moment before.
Can any of you claim that you have finished the race? I know you have not. The faith vs works argument is a clever demonic design. Forget it, why argue over what "works" are? Isn't it enough to accept the Words of the bible as is instead of defaulting to demonically designed arguments? Can them what you want, but the Lord commands US to DO things. Like what? Have faith, remain "in Him," pray, test ourselves etc. The Lord told us that we must remain "in Him." To say that we play no part in "remaining" would be to accuse the Lord of speaking nonsense. Why would the Lord give us an unnecessary command?
I bring these things up because last night I actually felt in an almost tangible way how horrific hell is going to be and how many souls are at risk at this late hour.
Could the series of spring quakes in the past been the Lord's way of warning the world of something coming this year? We already know there is a direct Revelation earthquake tie in. We know that the seals and trumpets and vial judgements come in a way consistent with the arrival of some kind of heavenly (Nibiru) destroyer. The Lord used the earth and heavens to destroy mankind in Noah's day and the return of the Son of man will be just like the days of Noah.
I have no idea whats about to happen this month or this year but it appears to me that the warnings have increased and we would be wise to consider that the escape of the Bride could happen any day now quickly followed by the horrors of the tribulation. The warnings are everywhere and I have seen convincing evidence from the world and the testimony of a select few brothers that convince me that we should be on high alert right now.
Please remember that the overriding theme in the bible for the bride is patience. Re-read Revelation 3:10 and Matt 25. The wise virgins and the church of Philadelphia were praised and kept from the hour of trial by their PATIENCE. We must be long suffering, we must be patient, we must be committed and persevering saints.
Those who walk away from the faith because some kind of warning or other did not materialize never belonged to our family to begin with. We are being tested. When people fall away before real tribulation has even arrived, what does that say about their faith?
It is probable that nothing out of the ordinary will happen in 2012. Probability tells us that life goes on just as it always has, because it has always been like it is today. We are not watching for probable events. We are looking for an event that the world does not believe will happen. We are looking for what the world considers a low probability event (we know it is certain). When it happens, it will be high impact. Over and over again we are seeing events take place that the experts have no explanation for. If they do offer an explanation it borders on insane. For example thousands of birds fly into the ground because of fireworks? That explanation might work on the weak minded and drunk during new years eve but what about all the other days of the year we are seeing this happen? Thats one example of many. I have never seen or felt a time like this. Be watching, be ready. We watch for this event with great patience and endurance.
This may be the season of the escape of the Bride and all hell breaking loose on earth. Or, it could be another season of business as usual. We must be ready for either. Keep the faith, be watching and ready. Our departure could be sooner than anyone imagines.
grace and peace
