The Covenant With Many

Recently I was reading the enemy's playbook. Like in football, Satan and his cohorts have a playbook for getting their agenda "into the endzone" to "score." Do some reading on the "New Age" to see the playbook. It can be tedious reading because everything is twisted and warped to fit proclamations from the father of lies, but it can be instructive to see what it is they have planned.

This brings us to Daniel 9:27, which is (from the septuagint):

27 And one week shall establish the covenant with many: and in the midst of the week my sacrifice and drink-offering shall be taken away: and on the temple shall be the abomination of desolations; and at the end of time an end shall be put to the desolation.

Notice what it does'nt say. It does'nt say the anti-christ confirms a covenant with many. It does'nt say the anti-christ will confirm a covenant with "one nation" (Israel). It says a covenant with many. Do you ever wonder at how men can turn a language on its head? How, pray tell, does "many" = one nation (Israel)? Perhaps men need to invest in a dictionary?

This brings me to the plan that the enemy has outlined in his servant's writings. It appears that the plan loosely follows this framework:

1. Planned economic collapse will be the trigger for the appearance of anti-christ. Any who doubted in the past should doubt no longer. Makes perfect sense does'nt it? Bring people to their knees economically, feed them a never ending diet of bad news, depression, and fear so when the man of sin shows up and says "I can make things good again" people stampede to take his handouts. The Lord has shown me the working out of this part of the plan. The news media is especially revealing. Since they are a propaganda arm of the satanic elite, they could spin everything positively...but they are not....why not? Why not spin the news positively? Because thats not the plan. The plan is for the hounds to drive you to the hunter. The hounds are those who serve this world and its master: Satan. The hunter is the rider of the white horse, with a bow in his hand..Rev 6. Think of all the symbology attached to that idea of a rider of a white horse...knight in shining armor...come to save the day..If everything is nice and normal for you, there's no psycological need for anyone to save the day. Hounds driving you to the hunter..remember that one.

2. They have a "day of declaration" planned when the man of sin will reveal himself to the world as some kind of "world teacher" on TV and through some kind of spiritual means. This day of declaration will be in accordance with the working of Satan's power, reaching out to the entire world at once. As I read about this day of declaration, to the entire world at the same time, immediately I thought of Daniel 9:27.....And one week shall establish the covenant with many. Let those words "covenant with many" really sink in. Would a "coming out party" to the entire world where this man tells them how he can "help" qualify as a "covenant with many?" You bet it would. Realize this as well, those who are sold on this idea that people will know the anti-christ when he signs a peace treaty with one nation...Israel...will say to themselves, "nope, this guy speaking to the entire world at once isn't the man of sin. First he has to sign a "peace treaty" with Israel." Deception, deception, deception. How do magicians work? They distract your eyes away from where the "magic" is really taking place...

Along these same lines, think about this. Today's so called prophesy scholars tell you that the rider on the white horse comes riding out with a bow, but no arrows. I guess they just stop reading there with that assumption under their belt and say "he's a man of peace!" See, no arrows!

Rev 6:1 1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

So, arrows or not, what does the bible say? He goes forth CONQUERING, yet todays so called prophesy experts tell you he goes forth making peace deals. It's right there in plain english, greek and hebrew. This guy shall destroy wonderfully:

Daniel 8:24 "His power will be mighty, but not by his own
... And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and

Notice it does not say "he shall write peace deals wonderfully." It says he shall destroy wonderfully. With all that said, could the anti-christ write up a peace deal with Israel, and/or other nations in the world? Sure he could, but thats NOT what Daniel 9:27 says. Anyone who disagrees with this needs idea needs to first prove how the word "many" now all of the sudden means "one."

We must read the bible for what it says, not what men tell us it means. Read it for yourself. A covenant with MANY will be made....thats what the bible says and that is what you should look for. Of course, if we are not here.....that might be kind of difficult.

As time becomes shorter, I have been pleading with the Lord to tell me if I am off base with any of this. I do think it would be good to know if we need to stock up on food supplies, because famine is coming, or whether we should be planning an escape to the mountains, because death is coming. So far, not an inkling from Him to do anything like this. As I've said in the past, it's probably a good idea to do some small preparations for small disturbances, but should'nt we hear from our God if we are to prepare to slug it out in the tribulation? Many will enter the tribulation, some will not.

The Dow Jones just hit 6,700. The "day of declaration" that anti-christ wants to make is planned for the time when the stock markets collapse. How far off do you think that is? When you read the new age stuff about what they are planning, they go on for pages and pages explaining to people how they don't know exactly when the man of sin will "come out of the closet." They need pages to explain something that takes 2 words in the bible...."the Restrainer." They talk about "the right energies have to be flowing blah blah blah blah" when the truth is, Satan is staring at a rod of iron in his way, also known as the power of our God. When our God says "go ahead," then, and only then, can Satan do his thing.

The stock market could be close to bottoming out. It may go down to somewhere in the 4,000 range, then its very possible we could get another (very short lived) barn burner of a stock market rally. Either way it goes (rally then collapse or straight into collapse), chances are, eventually here in the near term its going to collapse. Why collapse? There's no support to keep it up. Take all the support beams out of your roof and see what happens to it, eventually the thing is coming down. From what I gather, that has been the plan all along.

Remember the story of Noah. Because of the flood, he and his family went into the ark. Lot was escorted out of Sodom by angels before a single burning ember ever fell. Luke 21:36 promises an escape from all that's about to happen. Rev 3:10 tells us that some will be kept on the trial/test coming on the entire world. There are no idle words in the bible. Every word written means something specific. When we look back at the history of the world, we will say "Yep, it happened just like the days of Noah and Lot....exactly like that." and "yep, there was an escape from all, just exactly like the bible said there was." That's not my opionion, that's fact derived from the word of the Almighty God. My life has been an experience of seeing the word of God verified over and over and over again. It has been an experience of prayers answered, one after another after another. I have lost count of all the HUGE things the Lord has done for me.

What stands out to me today is this: the word of God is true. He has proven himself to me. He has proven to me that his word is what he said it was: the word of GOD. The wisdom in it is flawless, and every prophesy will come to pass exactly as he said it would. Who can thwart an almighty God? Nobody can.

We were told to watch. I'm watching and I'm getting an eyefull as I do it. I see the coming together of everything foretold to happen in our days. I suspect that our master has allowed things to progress this far for a reason, now is the time....When you read the new age propaganda, they admit that they have tried many times before to bring us to this place, and each time they were thwarted. This time, they've brought their plan to within striking distance of kick off. They've done this because they have been allowed to do this. Our Lord always has been, and always will be in control of the where, when and how things go down on the world timeline.

Open your eyes and watch so you can see. Ask the Lord to see things as he sees them. Ask him for wisdom that you may understand things according to his understanding. Ask him to give you ears that hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches TODAY....time is short.

Don't Be Afraid of What's Coming

I believe the Lord spoke to me yesterday. Almost verbatim, he said "Don't be afraid of what's coming, it's not for you." So I start thinking about this. It's not for me....why not? Of course, perhaps "it's not for you" means more than "me" but "we" the true church. Does what I heard, jive with what the word of God says?

Jeremiah 30 :7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

Now, this statement above is very clear, it says the time of Jacob's trouble, not the church's trouble. No debate is even possible here, nowhere in all scripture is any statement even comparable that tells us there will be a time of the "church's trouble." Why? The church's troubles have been from the very beginning. How did the church start out? Our fathers were fed to the lions in Rome for their faith, and its been non-stop persecution ever since. The church has had its persecution on earth from the very beginning up through today. No, the babylonian church isn't persecuted much, but why would they be? Why would the world persecute the world? We are talking about the true church here, not so called christianity.

What else do we know about this time of Jacob's trouble?

Daniel 9 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. 25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. 27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

There's only one week left of the 70 weeks determined for the people of Israel. What's the purpose of this last "week" of years (7 years)? Here is is: to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

Look particularly at this: to make reconciliation for iniquity....

You know what that is? It's a glaring neon sign that says "not for the church."

Reconciliation for sins was made for us on the cross. If you are "in Christ," then you are reconciled to the Father through the Son. So once again, does it make sense that the 7 year period that is coming is "not for you." Well, the bible certainly appears to support it. The people who argue that everyone is going through the 7 year tribulation period have to ignore alot of scripture to justify their point. They have to ignore "the time of Jacob's trouble" and add in "and the church." They have to ignore the purpose of the tribulation which is clearly spelled out above. We know that the coming tribulation is a time of judgement and wrath, but that's not all it is. Its also a time of "reconciliation for iniquity." This fact alone sinks the "pre-wrath" argument. There's no arguing your way around the fact that "in Christ" today, sins are already reconciled.

The vast majority of what calls itself Israel today is secular at best, and satanic at worst. More attention is paid to Kabbalah and Talmud then to the old testament that they should be following as true jews. There's a reason the Lord tells us that the "syangogue of satan" is composed of those who call themselves jews but are not (Rev 2-3). These so called jews will kneels at the feet of the true church and confess that we are loved of the true Son of God (Rev 2-3). All of the so called christians who love the so called jews of our day won't EVER mention that fact.

The tribulation period has a purpose, its not some random event. Part of understanding who will participate, is understanding what the purpose is. We don't have to stop there to know why those who are "in Christ" won't participate, we have a promise of escape (Luke 21:36) from all of it. We have the promise to be kept from the hour of trial, coming to test all those on the earth (Rev 3:10). Notice again, Rev 3:10 mentions the purpose of the time....a time of testing/trial. Go do a word search of the entire New Testament and you will see that the real church is, and has been tested from the very beginning all the way through today. What purpose is there in testing something again that has already been thouroughly tested? PURPOSE..........

Again, we are talking about the true church here, not so called christianity.

John 14:2 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

"Don't be afraid of what's coming, it's not for you." Remember that? Jesus says above he is coming to receive us to himself? Well, where would that be? That where he is (HEAVEN), we may be also. Let your heart not be troubled....why? He is preparing a place for us..where? In heaven. How do we get in? An open door in heaven (Rev 4), an escape (Luke 21:36), a promise to be kept from the trial coming on the whole earth (Rev 3:10).

There are many within todays babylonianity who believe they will go through all or part of the tribulation, many if not most of them probably will, so why debate them?

Back to this idea of "let your heart not be troubled." If you want an untroubled heart today, this is what your goal should be:

John 1:47 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.

When Jesus looks at us, we should hope and pray and work to have the same thing said of us. Be pure in heart, do those things that please the Lord. Strive to be found spotless at his coming.

If you do these things, you won't have to wonder if you'll make it out in the escape. Those who are "in Christ" obey his commands. We strive to keep the fire of our first love burning, our love for him. We are zealous for his ways and his works. We hate evil and love what is good. We hate falsehood, but love righteousness. This is all basic elementary stuff guys, do good, shun evil. Love, hope, be faithful. Do these things so your heart may not be troubled. Do these things so the coming 7 years, the time of testing and trial is not for you.

I have noticed a subtle shift in what the Lord would have me do for him. There's less of a need to point out the hell on earth of what's coming, and more of a need for encouragement and understanding of what it takes to be counted worthy of the escape. Time is short, how short only the Lord knows. Let us be found as wise servants today, doing what pleases our Lord. He could show up today. grace and peace

A World in Denial and Total Economic Collapse

I was watching two economic experts who actually predicted what's happening today. They were being interviewed by a bunch of media prostitutes, and the dialogue reflected why we are in the mess we are in today, and why absolute total collapse of everything will happen in the near future. The media reps made fun of, mocked etc these two men, telling them they were all doom and gloom. Whenever the two guys (one of the experts was Nassim Nicholas Taleb who wrote the "the black swan") were asked what their suggestions were to fix things, the media would completely ignore them and try to redirect the conversation.

The basic gist of the dialogue was this:

media: how can we fix this?
Taleb: The system is corrupt, the entire system needs to be changed
media: what stock should people invest in?
Taleb: none of them, the system is corrupt, it needs to be changed
media: but what can people put their money in today?
Taleb: nothing, don't spend, save, the system is broken and corrupt
media: you're just all doom and gloom are'nt you
Taleb: no, the system is corrupt and broken, people should save more, not go into more debt
media: various laughing mocking of Talen and his associate, then a dismissive "thanks" for coming on the show

They don't want to hear it. People don't want to hear it. The Lord spoke to me (I think) yesterday on my way home. He pointed out that spiritual blindness is real. Spiritual blindness is more dangerous than physical blindness. If you are blind in this world, and you don't see a car coming you can be seriously injured, maybe even killed. How much worse is it, when your spirit and soul get raped and battered constantly because you cannot see spiritually. The god of this world has blinded men. Remember:

Mark 10:46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. 48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. 50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. 52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

This blind man 1. knew he was blind, and 2. believed the Lord could make him see 3. he asked for his sight, that he may see. How many blind in the world today 1. do not know they are blind 2. Do not believe the Lord can make them see or 3. Will ask for their sight to be restored?
People don't go looking for answers to problems they don't think they have do they? Many are those who know where they can find the truth, but really don't want it, they are more comfortable with lies. They have made lies and deception their comforter rather than the Lord. I am amazed when I talk to people how programmed they are to discount anything and everything that relates to the true state of this world. One part of me is sympathetic to them because they are truly blind. Another part of me understands that their blindness comes from their own refusal to love the truth.

2 Thessalonians 2 :7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

There it is..they received not the love of the truth. It's their decision to choose unrighteousness rather than love of the truth, so who is responsible? They are responsible.

Total Economic Collapse

This past week, the things I have seen make a convincing case that in a couple more months we could see total economic collapse. We are talking about a time, and a collapse that will be mind boggling. The "powers that be" know its coming, why else would they be building concentration camps on military bases for U.S. citizens?
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-645

The size and scope of the collapse will be monumental.

Give me your attention now: I write this to you not to scare you, but to get you to do what you should be doing already. What can you do? You can pray. All the so called christians who count prayer as not "doing anything" are in for an unpleasant surprise. You can work on building your faith today, if you lack faith, ask Jesus for more. If you are'nt seeing things, ask the Lord to open your eyes so that you may see things the way he sees things...Everyone else's opinion is irrelevant and worthless. What our Father thinks is what matters, not dime-a-dozen opinions. Those who do not see the way our Lord sees will pay the price for it. Our job is to align ourselves with him, not the other way around. If we are his children, we will try to be more like him everyday, we will obey his commands, we will be sensitive to his voice, when he says jump, we will ask "how high." No debate, just obedience.

Visualize with me for a moment a morning in lets say, April or May when all the media outlets have huge bold headlines about some type of unprecedented, monumentally bad events(s). Imagine that the headlines are so bad, that people en masse panic, they basically just lose their minds. Let's imagine this day is a day that pushes people from the quiet desperation they have today, over the edge into a mental and spiritual abyss. That's a day I think is coming. Now, I ask you again, where is your faith? I have written here that your faith will be tested, even now its being tested. Where is your heart? Who does it belong to? When the day I describe above comes, we may not be here. If we are here, our faith will be the ark of safety that keeps us above the storm and waves. Perhaps I should say, our faith in our ark of safety, which is Christ Jesus the son of God who has never once, ever let me down....ever.

I have no doubt in my mind that the Lord would rain manna down in my backyard if my family had nothing to eat. What do you believe? I mean really believe..Like I said before, the mental image I have of the escape promised in Luke 21:36 is that of having my face pressed up right against a glass window that by a razor thin margin separates us from "all that's about to happen." Does that mean that we may still be here during this unbelievable, mind numbing shock day that's coming? Possibly..why? To test our faith. Do we believe his promise:

Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch 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.

Many are those who do not pray to be counted worthy of this escape, because they don't believe this escape from all these things that shall come to pass is coming. Their faith has them in the tribulation. The Lord made a promise that these people don't believe he'll keep. I believe, do you? It does'nt matter what comes my way, I have one answer for everything, I always have, its my Lord and master Jesus Christ. It has not mattered what the changing situation has been, he has always delivered, his promises have been rock solid. He bids us to come out onto the the stormy seas to walk above them with him.

Prepare your mind today for the shock and awe day that is coming. People will lose their minds and panic, why should you? Are you listening to the Lord's voice today? What is he telling you? Greater is he who is in us than he who is in the world. While fear stalks and slays men among you, why should you fear? Remember and believe the promises:


Psalm 91 >>King James Bible

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Our Father said it, do you believe it? I will be with him in trouble....I will deliver him, and honour him. We don't need to know how he does it, don't try to figure out the "how" that's our God's department, you just need to "seek first the kingdom of God." Kick the middlemen out of your relationship with the King and get some one on one time with him TODAY. Know him, but more importantly be known BY HIM...

Matt 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

The day I see coming will arrive as a shock, there will be no time to "brush up" on what it means to be "in Christ." Playing church for years will be exposed for the lie that it really is. Being the church will be vindicated. Many, if not most are going to get steamrolled by events that sit just over the horizon. Don't be one of them. It always has been and always be a "remnant," a few who "get it." Be one of the few that travel the narrow path that leads to life. On this narrow path you will not have the comfort of the masses to comfort you, instead you'll have the comfort of the God of eternity. Time is short guys, prepare for the escape, but also prepare to have your faith tested right up to the microsecond before it arrives. I am a nobody, the least of the servants of the most high God. This is my duty, my narrow niche that the Lord has assigned me for these days and these hours. My duty is to the Lord for YOU..to warn those who have ears to hear and eyes that see. Understand how dearly and unimaginably you are loved by the King of Kings. He warns those he loves. grace and peace

About the Church

No Pastors Mentioned:

2 Tim 2: 2 And the things which thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

So, what happened there ^^^? Paul taught some people, then said, go find some faithful men who can teach others and teach what I taught you to them. Don't you find it interesting that Paul DID NOT say go find some "pastors" and let them spread the teaching? Paul could have done that but he did'nt. Look around at churchianity today, every single church..ALL OF THEM are full of "pastors" yet Paul does'nt mention them..WHY NOT? There were only two qualifications necessary to carry the message Paul taught..1. FAITHFUL 2. Able to teach
No "seminary" degree necessary, no made made title (pastor) necessary. No man made organization (churchianity) necessary. The body of Christ is a REAL BODY, an organic living entity, NOT a manmade organization. The system of churchianity with its idolatrous, nicolaitan (conquer the laity) system is the problem. Judgement STARTS WITH THE HOUSE OF GOD...remember that..

1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

Where is our Salvation?

2 Tim 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

IN CHRIST...there it is again. Our salvation is "in Christ."

Another Beat down of OSAS-once saved always saved:
2 Tim 2:11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Have you "died" with Christ? What happens if you "make a decision" for Jesus, then deny him? HE WILL DENY YOU. This passage does'nt say (unless you "made a decision") it says IF...THEN..period. The OSAS teachers have to put words into the Lord's mouth to explain away the simple teaching that if you deny Jesus, he will deny you.

The teachers of babylonian churchianity would have you believe that "you can't deny him" once you've "made a decision" for Christ. Is that what 2 Tim 2 says? NO, its not, so why do they teach it?

The Lord says if you deny him, he will deny you. Where can we see Jesus delivering on this promise?

Right here:

Matt 7: 21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Also here:

Matt 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Apparently, there are more ways to deny Christ than to walk around saying "I deny him." If you are living in wickedness and sin, if you love the world, if you are greedy for gain, if your relgion has more to do with socializing and feeling good about yourself for fitting into the mold men designed for you than love of the truth, do you think you'll be welcomed into heaven with open arms?

Prophesying, casting out devils and doing many wonderful works apparently ISN'T enough to get a person into heaven. True believers will do those things, but apparently those who make it into the "narrow gate" have something else going for them.

It isn't a giant puzzle to figure out what it takes to be in the Lord's good graces today. Ask yourself what pleases the Lord.....we know what those things are, DO THEM. Be faithful, be obedient, love the truth, ask the Lord to remove everything in you that displeases him. Ask him to give you his mind and his heart that you may be like him in everyway and you have to REALLY want it, do you? How much do we love him? Our committment will be tested, that's a fact. Look up the word "test" in an online bible search engine and feast your eyes on all the testing men will face. ALL OF US are tested. Time will test us, time will show what really matters to us. You can fake almost anything for awhile, but what's really down deep inside of you cannot be faked. That "dig down deep" WANT will be exposed... sooner or later.

Time is short, if we don't discuss these things now, when will we? We might not get tomorrow....There are no signs for the escape/rapture, but there ARE signs for the tribulation. When we see the tribulation world hurtling towards us what does that tell us about the escape? IT MUST BE SOON. The Lord takes pleasure in us excercising our faith. Thought the rapture could occur years before the tribulation, its becoming apparent that the Lord will press us up right against the minutes and seconds the preceed the tribulation to TEST our faith. Do we really believe what was written in luke 21:36, or will we resign ourselves to slugging it out through the tribulation? Do you believe there will be an escape? Do you believe the Lord has made provisions for the believing small flock that exists immediately prior to the tribulation? The Lord provided for Noah, Lot, we see that he provides for Israel during the tribulation, and I can tell you from firsthand experience that this God I serve knows how to take care of those who belong to him. I have seen miracle provision in my own life over and over and over and over again, and he has saved his best provision for last.....It's going to take faith to receive the promises though.

If you toss in your faith just when you needed it most, what a tragedy that would be. As my brother Jeff says "walking outside the boat with Jesus"...there's no other place I'd rather be, but recognize it will take second by second, minute by minute FAITH to stay above the water and not sink down below it. Hope is the substance and evidence of things not seen, it is the bridge that enables you to hold today in your spirit what will be delivered to you physically tomorrow. Set your hope fully on the escape that is coming, when it shows up in this world, it will be like saying hello to a friend you've known for many years but have seen face to face for the first time.

There are many many diversions in this world competing for your attention. Make sure you keep your eyes on the prize. If you don't believe there is a prize, then you likely will never lay hold of one. As you believe, so shall it be done unto you. If you believe you will go through the tribulation, if that's where your faith is, what do you think your reality will be?

Matthew 8:13 And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go; it shall be
... Jesus told the officer, "Go! What you believed will be done for you." And at that moment the servant was healed.

It's important to know for yourself why you believe what you beleive. The devil comes to steal kill and destroy, whatever is not nailed down he will take from you. You need to NAIL DOWN what you believe, in order to do that you need to deeply answer WHY you believe. WHY is a very important question.

Jesus loved me first, that's part of my why. His extended grace is part of my why. His indwelling Holy Spirit provides the faith to get us the grace + faith necessary for salvation.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and
... For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and thisnot of yourselves; it is God's gift:

Your relationship or lack thereof with Jesus Christ will be exposed for what it is. We do not want to hear "away from me you evildoer, I never knew you."(matt 7:21+)

We must be ready and patient today. That is the lesson of the wise virgins in Matt 25. They were ready for whenever the bridegroom showed up. They were prepared for patience, they brought oil in jars to wait out the bridegroom for however long it took him to show up. The foolish virgins were not prepared to wait, and that lack was exposed when the bridegroom showed up at just the wrong time for them....

The tribulation timeline is nailed down to the day. The Lord gave men the ability to predict to the day when he will show up and when key events will happen during the tribulation. The escape however, is an unknown day and hour that will occur when we are not expecting it. Are you expecting the escape today? If not, if it came today, it would be at a time you did'nt expect it right? Any day now could be that day. We are close. Keep the faith, you are in my prayers if you are "in Christ." I also pray for all those who will know him in the future. Please pray for our family which is "in Christ" that we may be counted fully deserving of the escape that is coming.

The Tribulation World

A first note: sorry for all the typos/misspellings. I read some of my post yesterday and thought wow, great job.....used "lose" instead of "loose" etc. Oh well :-)

Continuing the thinking from yesterday, the tribulation world is taking shape before our eyes. Also, its important to note that even in the midst of the tribulation, I guess I should say especially in the midst of it, deception will be rampant. The result of the unprecedented deception will be many people not knowing the time in which they live.

It's going to take faith to the end in order to "get it" in your head, as well as get yourself into heaven. You do play a part in your salvation contrary to what the wolves tell you. If you did'nt, Paul would not have written to you to "work out your own salvation," not that we are saved by works. But the whole idea of being "saved" by works is a misleading line of reasoning to begin with. Getting into heaven is a TWO part equation. It's 1. entering "into Christ" or "getting in" which happens by grace through faith, then 2. STAYING there.."remaining"

Here it is in plain language:

Luke 8:13 And those on the rock are those who with joy give hearing to the word; but having no root, they have faith for a time, and when the test comes they give up.

John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

2 Corinthians 13:5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith. Test yourselves! You know, don't you, that Jesus the Messiah lives in you? Could it be that you are failing the test?

Ok, I don't want to get too far off track here....let's get back to this idea of the tribulation world forming around us and people not seeing it. This writer has posted earlier in the week on the idea that "10 kings" must be in the world first, in order for the anti-christ to show up. Since people today don't see 10 obvious kings, they conclude that the anti-christ can't be rising today.

It's not obvious, so they conclude it has'nt happened. Well, like many other things in the bible, ITS NOT GOING TO BE OBVIOUS. Take the mark of the beast for example, what does the bible say about it?

Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

It's going to take some understanding and some calculating in order to "get it." How much understanding does it take to see people walking around with 666 plastered on their forehead? None. Likewise with the 10 kings that have to be in the world at the time of anti-christ rising, consider this:

Revelation 17:12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.

Let me ask you this, how obvious would it be to spot 10 kings today who have'nt received their kingdoms yet? They are kings with no kingdom, odd yes? Does the fact that they have'nt received their kingdom yet, negate the fact that they are kings? NO, it does'nt. So, is it possible that these 10 kings exist TODAY in our world? ABSOLUTELY. Churchianities teachers tell you since 10 obvious kingdoms are not in view, the ten kings are'nt here, therefore anti-christ can't be about to step onto the world scene. How wrong they are....

Let me give you one example of a possible "king" without a kingdom. Look at the Fed chairman Bernanke. What kind of power does this man wield? He's throwing trillions of dollars around, deciding life or death of countries by choosing who gets financial life or death. He's not elected, he's "crowned" by the powers that be. He exercises all the power of a "king" without having a kingdom. Bernanke is just an example of the few, but very powerful FINANCIAL/banker KINGS who rule and reign TODAY in this world, deciding life and death, but with no kingdom...YET.

He who has widom, he who has understanding will see it. This understanding comes from the Holy Spirit alone. Without him, you and I are as blind as everyone else in this world. Jesus said, do not be deceived...

Churchianity tells you that the anti-christ will come on the world as a man of peace because he has a bow in his hand but no arrows. I guess they need to keep reading.....

Rev 6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

Not only do they fail to finish reading the sentence that says he has a bow, and goes forth TO CONQUER, they also fail to acknowledge.....wait for it......

Exekiel 39 2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: 3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

They'll say, yea, but that's talking about Gog, to which I'll say "the king of the Noth" IS the anti-christ. If the General of the Northern armies is the anti-christ, and he has a bow, and we see that a captain of the northern armies (GOG) has a bow with ARROWS, should we assume the anti-christ has arrows too? We don't even have to go here actually with the bows and arrows. It's clearly stated that the rider of the white horse carries a WEAPON and goes forth to CONQUER. Notice the bible does not say the rider has a scroll or a pen in his hand, or any other instruments used to sign peace treaties, he has a WEAPON.

This is another example of the shortsightedness of todays babylonian church. If there is a peace treaty signed, it won't be by the anti-christ. Churchianity will be looking one way, and anti-christ will be coming in the other way. Misdirection...deception and the church of babylon is buying it all hook, line, and sinker.

Keep watching what's going on over there in the Middle East. Watch Israel baiting the arab world. We know from the bible that Israel does'nt get really whacked until the anti-christ enters the temple by force, rapes and pillages, sets up the abomination etc.

Zechariah 14
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Until that ^^^ happens, we should expect Israel to have the upper hand in the middle east.

We don't know when the Lord is coming back for us, but I have no doubt its going to be soon. Each day he does'nt show up, we need to be patient and ready for the day he does show up. Many won't be ready due to false teachers and preachers telling people that they have more time than they really have.

Jerusalem, A Cup of Trembling

Zech 12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. 3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. 4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness. 5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

Have you been watching what's been happening over in Israel and the West Bank lately? Today there is a worldwide outcry against Israel for the military operations against Palestinians. There are a number of aspects to what's going on over there that have to be considered. Here are some of them:

1. There is a synagogue of Satan at work in the world today, they call themselves jews. The term "synagogue of Satan" was coined by JESUS, not me. Should the people of the world support the "synagogue of Satan?"

2. There are jews in the world that are not part of the synagogue of Satan, but they are few.

3. Which group above is waging war against the palestinians?

4. The Lord brought to my mind the events of long ago. Could you imagine if there was a global media (newspaper, internet, tv) back in the days of Samuel?

1 Sam 15 Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD. 2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. 3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

Imagine if "destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass" were done today. We are seeing in todays media what the response would be. The entire world is aligning itself against Israel. This makes sense does'nt it? The Lord said "Jerusalem a burdensome stone for ALL people: ALL that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces."

I cannot remember the last time the entire world was aligned against Israel the way it is today. I'm speaking of OVERT opposition, not the normal eternal hatred that is masked by politics and media manipulation.

When the middle east heats up like it is today, I think its wise to upgrade our preparedness. We must remember the lesson of the virgins in Matt 25. The wise virgins were ready for the bridegroom when he showed up, the foolish ones were not ready. Today is a good time to ask yourself what being ready for Jesus really means. We know from the virgins parable that the wise virgins had oil in their lamps. Oil=Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God is the seal on our lives guaranteeing our inheritance. We should ask ourselves if we are filled with the Spirit of God today? Does a decision I made 20 years ago mean my lamp is full of oil TODAY? Paul told us to TEST OURSELVES to determine if we are still in the faith, when's the last time you tested yourself to determine whether you are "in the faith?"

2 Cor 13 Try your own selves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Or know ye not as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed ye be reprobate.

There are people in the babylonian so-called christian church that would tell you that you have no need to "try your own selves" or "prove your own selves" to determine whether ye are in the faith. Those people will tell you that a decision you made 5, 10, 15 years ago is all the proof you need. Which is it? Do you need to test yourself or not? The bible says you do, men say you don't. It's up to you to decide.

The middle east trembling today should mean you are trembling with it. All the end time events that are coming have Israel at their center. Time is short, remain "in Christ", test yourself. You are dearly loved. grace and peace
