The View Forward

At this point, we know what the world is facing. The crisis facing this world is not one dimensional, its multi-dimensional, in more ways than you think. Never before in the history of the world has mankind faced so much bad news from so many places. We are currently in an economic depression that will be much worse by the time it has run its course, than the previous depression. There are reports from around the world to expect widespread famine this year. Unemployment is running rampant, people have lost all confidence in leaders of every kind. Obama is still riding his honeymoon, but how long will the luster last when people are hungry, homeless and jobless?

There is no bottom or end in sight for the death spiral this world is in. All of this has been the plan from the beginning. The plan has been to bring people to such a point of hopelessness and desperation that when the devil himself shows up with answers, the entire world will embrace him. Another thing that has been planned is World War 3, not surprisingly sparked somewhere in the middle east. There are a number of timing elements involved in all this, primary of which is "the escape." The other timing elements appear to be coming to critical mass. The "powers that be" who have unleashed all the suffering on the earth today know that they walk a fine line with what they are doing. They remember such things as the french revolution and the overthrow of the tsars in Russia, they know because they were part of it on both sides.

The economy right now is a runaway train. This train may keep chugging for another year or two if the central banks continue to print money hand over fist. What might not last a year or two is the "social contract" between the people of the world and the "powers that be." Everything is fine when the masses get their scraps from the elite, but when the scraps dry up, the masses get restless. Thanks to TV, music, the internet, fluoride in the water, chemtrails, social conditioning, the so called 'education system' etc, people today are tolerant of alot more abuse than they were in the past (from authority figures). That is especially true here in babylon (america). The people of America are the most brainwashed in the history of the world. This would explain why we have seen massive rioting all over other places in the world, to include France, Russia, Greece, a number of eastern european countries, but not a whisper of dissent here in babylon.

The lame stream media propaganda arm exerts considerable control when it comes to focusing questions and ridicule at anyone and anything that might pose a threat to the powers that be. The so called 'christian clergy' (theres no such thing in the true church) are an integral part of this babylonian system, herding the sheople to the slaughter pens.

Remember the mention of a "multi-dimensional" problem above? Demons are multi-dimensional beings, as is Satan. They are the real problem. We war not with flesh and blood.

The good news is this: the problems facing this world are really complex, but the answer for you who believe is really easy: seek first the kingdom of God. That's it. Now when you read "seek first the kingdom of God" what does that make you think of? "Going to church?" Tithing? Doing what your "pastor" tells you to do? If those are the kinds of things that enter your mind when you hear "seek first the kingdom of God," then you are another victim of the idolatrous system of babylonian churchianity that has existed as far back as the roman church and her harlot offspring (protestantism).

Todays babylonian form of religion has its focus on you serving the system...the babylonian system. Our God tells us that true religion is taking care of widows and orphans and keeping ourselves from being polluted by this world. Our God tells us that keeping ones heart free from wickedness and keeping ones spirit free of deceit are the things he desires. Its a radical difference, and one that destroys the babylonian system from the ground up because the focus shifts from "serving the system" to serving our God.

If you want to do something to prepare yourself for the coming storm then seek first the kingdom of God. That means: 1. Find out what pleases our King, and 2. DO IT. The king has written a book to you explaining what does and does not please him. Do you really have to pay some guy a fee to be "serviced" on Sunday/Wednesday to hear what's already been written by the King? Why not give your money to the poor and homeless and hungry? Are there not enough of them around us these days?

The apostate christian church is about to be spit out of the Lord's mouth. Re-read Rev 3, the laodicean church for details. That is both a warning and an ecouragement. Time is short, the Lord's grace is still extended to man today. The escape is still ahead of us, not behind us. The Lord's promises to us are rock solid guarantees that will happen exactly as he said they would. I can say with 100% certainty that at some point in the future, we will be able to look backwards in time and say "hey, the Lord told us to pray that we may be counted worthy to escape all thats about to happen and stand before him, and it happened just like he said it would." I've seen it time and time and time again in my life, its rock solid. Question is, do you have the faith for it? Some promises have a price tag on them, payable in faith. If you don't have the faith in your spiritual bank account, you can't "pay up" when the promise is ready to be delivered. As you believe, so things will be done to you. The bad things, the things that happen to the faithless are also a result of faith..the lack of it.

A long time ago, I actually had a demon say to me "where is your God now?" It happened through a woman, and at the moment it happened I did'nt really understand what happened, but looking back on it, I see it crystal clear. Since that time, I've seen it and heard it from a variety of sources, knowing each and every time its the devils servants talking. The devil uses the same tactics over and over again. When things get bad in this world, you can expect the demons to ask you "where's your God now?" (or variations on that theme)

It takes real faith to walk with Jesus outside the boat, on the water.

Matt 14 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. 33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Lots of stuff to learn in there, the fourth watch is the darkest part of the night, Jesus came to them walking on water and bid them to come to him. Peter started out ok, then started to look at the storm again...Jesus asked "why did you doubt?" Also notice at the beginning that Jesus sent the crowds away, it was just him and the true beleivers dealing with the darkest part of the night. None of the unbelievers saw the walking on water, only the faithful did. This world is heading into a dark night. The waves are up and the wind is blowing..today. That means there is a figure in the distance, walking toward your boat, on the water. It's your turn to get out of the boat and walk to Jesus. Do not doubt..

grace and peace

Our Escape: A Noah Experience

The Lord does not leave us in the dark on what's coming. He tells us:

Matt 24: 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

I know there are many out there who insist that everyone is going through the tribulation. They think that because they are going through it, everyone is going through it. Big mistake. There are some people who will escape all thats about to happen. There are some people who will go partway through the tribulation then get killed. There are some people who will make it all the way through the tribulation alive. I believe that today, already our hearts are being prepared for what's coming. The future will not be a "one size fits all" event. Different people have different destinies.

Those who argue that there will be no "escape from all" are correct, but only as far as their future is concerned. Those people who believe they need to go build a bunker and hide in it from the anti-christ, they may be correct too....as far as their future is concerned. Isn't it a no brainer that we all don't end up the same way, we all don't go through the same things?

Sinners who do not repent, end up in a lake of fire. Those who are "in Christ" till the end, end up in heaven. Jesus told the centurian "as you believed, so it will be done unto you." In other words, your faith has everything to do with your future. When Jesus tells men to "pray that you may be counted worthy to escape all thats about to happen and stand before the son of man," and men refuse to do it, what do you think happens to them? They don't believe the promise, do you think they have a part in its fulfillment?

Those who argue that they will go through the tribulation probably will. Either that or this isn't true:

Matt 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

I want to point out some things from Matt 24 today.

1. Jesus said "of that day and hour knoweth no man." Which day and hour is he talking about? The unknown day and hour. There is a known day, that is 3.5 years from the abomination that causes desolation that can be counted on to the day, when Jesus shows up, also known as the second coming. There is also an unknown day. It's obvious here, he's referring not to the second coming, but to the "unknown day" of his appearance. A "secret" day, which is another thing the pre-wrath, post-trib crowd mocks to their own shame. Coming like a thief is done in secret. An unknown day is a secret day.

The Lord does'nt stop there, he goes on to explain more about this secret, unknown day by telling us it will be just like the days of Noah. Immediately after telling us that, he gives us a very specific time marker for this secret/unknown day when he tells us this:

the days that were before the flood

So lets put this together, Jesus tells us an unknown secret day is coming that will be just like the days of Noah and he points to the days before the flood is when Noah entered the Ark. Noah did'nt enter the ark halfway through the flood, not at the end of the flood, but when? Before the flood. Could it be said any plainer than that? Is there any more basic language that could be used to indicate when this secret, unknown day would occur? Before the flood.

Jesus goes on to clarify what the days look like "before the flood." Here's the description he gives:

"eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark"

and in Luke 17

"they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven"

Here's where the pre-wrath folks take a bullet. They claim that nobody gets out before Rev 6. Apparently the crowned (rewarded), redeemed men in Rev 4 and 5 must be exempt from pre-wrath teaching, because they did get out before Rev 6. How? Hmm, I seem to remember an open door in heaven in Rev 4.....

That's not the only problem, apparently "escape from all" which happens "before the flood" has references to "they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded." Look carefully at the words the Holy Spirit uses here. Now look at what happens during the opening waves of the tribulation, the opening of the seals:

1-anti-christ
2-war
3-famine
4-death and hell on earth

Now, lets put on our thinking caps. Does the anti-christ, war, famine, death and hell on earth sound the same as "eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting or building?" No, it does'nt. Famine is a lack of food. War is the opposite of building, its destroying. So when does this future "Noah experience", which happens during an unknown, secret day, which is before the flood, which is during a time of eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting and building happen?

Look around at the world today. Look at what's dissapearing. Food, drink, buying and selling, planting and building, all of those things are dissapearing before our eyes. Those were the words the Holy Spirit used to time mark the general vicinity of the "unknown day." That general vicinity is today, either that or its on the far side of the disaster staring this world in the face today.

Conclusion:

Either this unknown day is in close proximity to today, or we have a nice wait ahead of us until days of eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building show up again. As things stand everything one of those indicators is under pressure and in rapid decline. Scarcity of everything is the hallmark of today and the trend looks to continue until......the man of sin shows up (the first seal, the removal of the restrainer) to "fix" everything and be hailed as god.

The stage is set..today. The table has all the plates and silverware on it, and appetizers have already been served. How close are we to the "unknown" secret day, the day when Jesus comes like a thief? All appearances are, that this day may be upon us. It could be today. How many people actually expect it today? Jesus said he would come at a time when we would not be expecting him. A day like today when people are overcome with the anxieties of life fits the bill would'nt you say? Take nothing for granted. Give thanks for everything today. Guard your faith and examine what you believe carefully, it may determine where you end up and when you get there.

Time is short, your faith is your treasure, grace and peace.

Looking Ahead at 2009

I've picked up on the radar some information from different sources that points toward flooding of low lying areas around the world next year. I normally don't mention things until I see it from a few different places. The latest place that has me posting about it this morning is a report out of the pentagon:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2004/feb/22/usnews.theobserver

What has the people in the pentagon so scared is that the earth changes can't be attacked like a foreign army. You just have to brace for the changes, make what changes you can, then take the rest on the chin. Other things I've read about this same subject place the flooding sometime in 2009. As if economic collapse was'nt enough, it appears the earth is going contribute to hell on earth in its own special way.

"Global warming" has been blamed for all the climate change, and it seems as with everything else we've been told, its a lie too. From what I've read, especially from the book magnetic reversals and evolutionary leaps, its been changes in the earths magnetic field that have done the real damage throughout history. Regardless of the culprit, our God foretold thousands of years ago what was coming. When the weather starts acting up, crops are affected, when crops are affected, people starve to death. Do you remember the four horsemen of the apocalypse (Rev 6)? Famine is one of them, war is another, anti-christ is another. I have to say, from where I sit, 2009 is shaping up to be a model year for the events I see described in Rev 6.

The other things that hit me yesterday was the idea that we don't have to wait long to find out exactly whats going to happen, 2009 is 2 weeks and a day away. I've been asking the Lord repeatedly what's going to happen next year, so far I have'nt "heard" anything. Then again, I never have, I seem to have the thoughts percolate up from my spirit to my soul through whatever barrier the Lord placed there in all men. When even the heathen are using the words "end of days," then you know we're onto something here.

The Lord told us to watch and pray. As part of my watching, I'm getting a real eyefull. Never in my life have I seen the universal curtain of doom that has fallen over the people of this world. Interestingly, but not surprisingly, the only people who seem to be ignoring the hell on earth that's about to break out is the folks on The Beast Network (TBN) and its related satellites. They are still predicting good things to happen in 2009 ONLY IF people continue to GIVE MONEY...imagine that! Who would have thought? LOL. The blackest darkness is reserved for most of the people who appear on those networks. We are staring the tribulation in the face and all they seem to care about is getting you to give more money. My family gives money, but not a red cent goes to shady preachers. Every penny goes DIRECTLY to needy families. If you really want to give, give directly to the poor and needy. Do you think the Lord will be upset with you for shunning the apostate church and giving directly to the needy? I think not:

James 1:27 Pure, unstained religion, according to God our Father, is to take care of orphans and widows when they suffer and to remain uncorrupted by this world.

Looks to me like I can have "PURE UNSTAINED RELIGION" without ever giving a penny or listening to single word that todays apostate, so called christian preachers have to say, isn't that grand?

I've been saying that all appearances are that 2009 is going to be a really really bad year, but you don't need me to tell you that to figure it out for yourself do you? Just look around. The bright side is, if "all these things" are about to happen, then the "escape from ALL these things" is about to happen sooner. We know that destruction for this world is coming just like it happened with Lot and Noah. The day Lot left Sodom, destruction fell. The day Noah entered the ark, it started raining. The day the true church "escapes," all hell breaks loose on earth. When I say "all hell breaks loose" that's not exactly what the bible says, however the bible exactly says that whatever IS coming, will be so bad as to cause mens hearts to fail them for FEAR. I imagine thats pretty bad, don't you?

We should be motivated by both the bad things coming on the earth, and the good things waiting for us in the presence of our Lord. The "hell on earth" issues are like a boot to the rear-end "pushing" us toward heaven, the grace and love and the pleasure of being with our God forever "pulls" us toward heaven. Only a glutton for punishment, or those completely in love with this world would want to be around when our God's wrath falls. The church is not destined for wrath, or vengeance. What's coming is both wrath AND vengeance:

Luke 21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

Revelation 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Romans 2:5 But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart ...
... But because of your stubborn and unrepentant heart you are reserving wrath for yourself on the day of wrath, when God's righteous judgment will be revealed

1 Thessalonians 5 :9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ..

Luke 21 :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.

Revelation 3 :10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown

I want to encourage you this morning, to keep your eyes on the prize. We are on a sinking ship called "this world." There are life boats enough for all of us, but only those found "worthy" get to enter the life boats and escape the sinking ship. The ship is taking on water faster and faster every day, but instead of people standing at the boarding area for the life boats, they are still down at the bar getting drunk, playing monopoly in their rooms, sunning themselves on the deck. Many people look at the world and ask "what can I do about all that's going on?" YOU CAN PRAY, you can watch, you can be READY. Jesus told you to WATCH, not fix the Federal Reserve system. Jesus told you to PRAY, not vote Mcbush or Obama into office. Jesus told you to BE READY like the wise virgins in Matt 25, NOT fix the economy. Everything Jesus told you to do YOU CAN DO, question is: will you?

grace and peace
