Escape ALL That Is About To Happen

There is an event coming that 1.  is like a trap and 2. will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth.


Luke 21:34“Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. 35For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”


Now let us reason together very carefully.  Consider what our Lord tells us above.  This trap will come on all those who live where? On the face of the earth.

Many people have a problem interpreting this simple word "all."  What does all mean?  It means everyone, without exception.  The Lord goes on to specifically clarify what He meant by "all."  He tells us all includes everyone who lives where?  On the face of the whole earth.  So for those who argue that somehow Christians will not escape all that is about to happen, but they will be kept somewhere on the earth out of harms way, they have a major problem with the Word of the Lord.  ALL those on the face of the earth will be affected.

See, there is an escape and place of refuge, but by the Lord's own definition it is not on the face of this earth...

We know that ^^ because the Lord told us that all those on the face of the whole earth will be affected by it.  After the Lord specifically identifies who will be affected (all those on the face of the whole earth), He tells us what?  Watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”

Watch and pray that we may be able to do what?  Escape all that is about to happen.  There is that pesky Word "all" again.  What does "all" mean?  If people do not understand what a 3 lettered Word in the promise means how can they understand the full promise?  It is a simple question that terribly vexes those who argue against the escape from all promised to those who believe.

There is most certainly an escape coming.  When exactly only the Lord knows, but we do know this: we were commanded by the Lord God to pray for this escape.  How many people do we know that not only do not pray for this escape but teach others not to as well because of their man made doctrines?  Who told us there would be an escape from all?  The Lord God did, period.  Who told us, ordered us, commanded us to pray for this escape?  The Lord our God did.  Those who preach and teach otherwise do so at their own peril.

"I Just Want My Life Back"

The CEO of BP was recently quoted as saying something like he wants the oil spill to be over with so he can "have his life back," or something to that effect.

The Lord dropped a bunch of things into my heart rapid fire this morning as I was driving home, and a good way to start off is with that quote.

People have been saying for years now, as the world has steadily deteriorated "I just want my life back." It's been housing, the stock market, jobs, floods, earthquakes, war, now this oil mess. This is what the Lord shed light on with me:

A different perspective on:
Luke 17:26“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

What I believe the Lord impressed upon me about this "eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage" text is that I always took it as days of business as usual, and that's it. What I see now is that in spite of the world deteriorating all around them, people don't want to hear about prophesy,the end times or the true God. People could care less, what they want is....drum roll please............"their life back.." You know, back when they were not constantly confronted with these "end times problems." People are trying so hard to just focus on "eating and drinking, planting and building, buying and selling, marrying and giving in marriage." They are trying so hard to act like everything is okay and things will get back to "normal" if they just wait it all out.

Sadly, the bible does not predict people "getting their life back." It predicts "losing your life to save it." Again, 180 degrees out of sync with the thinking of this world. There's a way to deal with the end times and its not anxiety or fear or worry. There's a way to stare everything that is coming on this world straight in the face and retain our joy and peace, but its not by thinking or acting or believing like the world does.

We are told here:

Luke 21:34“Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. 35For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”

There is an escape from all coming, that's a stated biblical fact. We are to pray for escape, thats another stated biblical fact. Those who choose not to pray for escape from all, have an obedience issue with God that if left uncorrected, could cost them DEARLY in the days ahead.

Luke 21 appears to be ripe with meaning for us today, for those who have the eyes to see. Rewind back from Luke 21:36 a few paragraphs to this:

Luke 21:25“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 27At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

Signs in the sun?

How about this for a headline out of this week's news:

http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20627640.800-whats-wrong-with-the-sun.html?full=true

What's wrong with the sun?

and a quote from the article:

"This is solar behaviour we haven't seen in living memory," says David Hathaway, a physicist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

Haven't seen this kind of activity from the sun in living memory huh? NASA scientist said this....interesting. The bible tells us there will be signs in the sun moon and stars, but they will all be easily dismissable by those who have explanations for everything! Just like the way the oil disaster is unfolding before our eyes, everything is so explanable. We can see bibilical prophesy happen word for word right down to the nitty gritty details and people will still roll their eyes and try desperately to get back to "getting their life back."

Even when the events prophesied thousands of years ago are kicking people in the teeth over and over and over again. When objective and verifiable evidence is flashing across newscreens daily screaming at people, they'll roll their eyes and get back to "getting their life back."

Part of the problem with people admitting that the Word of God is coming true before their eyes is that they will then have to come to terms with the God who wrote and is the Word. That is something that people have had a problem with for a long long time. People like their religion, they like their social clubs, they even enjoy playing church, but when it comes to standing face to face with the consuming fire, the Holy One who will expose all their pet sins, well, that can wait for another day.....as we see here:

Isaiah 30:8Go now, write it on a tablet for them,

inscribe it on a scroll,

that for the days to come

it may be an everlasting witness.

9These are rebellious people, deceitful children,

children unwilling to listen to the Lord’s instruction.

10They say to the seers,

“See no more visions!”

and to the prophets,

“Give us no more visions of what is right!

Tell us pleasant things,

prophesy illusions.

11Leave this way,

get off this path,

and stop confronting us

with the Holy One of Israel!”

All appearances are that these people who are doggedly determined to wait things out to "get their life back," are in for a long wait. The things I've read about whats happening in the Gulf of Mexico scream out that whatever is happening, it is going to be on a biblical scale. There are scenarios that experts who will never be mentioned by the media say could be apocalyptic.

We recently looked at Revelation 8:

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.

Here's our checklist so far:
and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea->complete (oil rig before sinking).

A third of the sea turned into blood-> in progress, the oil in the water looks like what? Blood...

9a third of the living creatures in the sea died-> in progress, give it time..

, and a third of the ships were destroyed.-> This was the one I thought, I just can't imagine how this whole oil leak thing could destroy a third of the ships? Lo and behold, each day new articles are shedding light on what's going on in the gulf. I seem to remember BP didn't want to bring their own ships in right after the rig blew and I wondered why? Possibly the same reason all the fisherman are getting sick? Still, that would just be dead sailors, what about the ships? Now we read about possible radioactive oil coming out of the depths? We read about methane blowouts from the well that could cause a 600 mph wall of water death across the ocean? Are we getting any traction here on possible loss of ships? Yep, its possible.

As we continue in Rev 8, what do we find?

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.

Bitter waters huh? A great star? What does the bible call angels? STARS
We don't have to leave the book of Revelation for this proof:

Rev 1:19“Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. 20The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

And Wormwood? Remember Chernobyl? Nuclear? Radioactive oil? Food for thought.

The last thing the Lord impressed on me was this, again from Luke 21:

Luke 21:25“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.

One of the things the Holy Spirit does is bring to our mind remembrance of what has been written.

John 14:26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father ... But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach
you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

Back to Luke 21:25....“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. As we see the maritime drama playing out in our news daily, it should bring into focus for us what has been written. We can expect more drama from the sea, the Holy Word says its coming. It's going to be really hard for all the people who "just want their life back" to do so when men are "fainting from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world.."

The talking heads of TV will try to explain it all away for you. They have an endless supply of meaningless drivel to spoon feed you every day while the bible unfolds, word for precious word before the eyes of mankind.

My disclaimer in all of this is I am not predicting anything. I have eyes, and a God given mind, and I too have the Spirit of God living within me, as was promised to all true believers. I have a bible in one hand and eyes that are going back and forth from the Word of God to the events around me. What I am seeing is hitting "center mass" as we liked to say in the military with what the Word says would happen. All this, predicted thousands of years ago. Someone please compute the Vegas odds on that....

The Word of God is true, and it is vindicating itself before the eyes of man each and every day now. Blessed be the name of the Lord Jesus.

Babylonian Televangelist

I heard a babylonian televangelist hammering on the people about "going to church." Basically his argument was no matter what, if your 'pastor' says something offensive/apostate/satanic whatever...you need to still "go to church" there, just suck it up and keep coming. He used a lame argument that I won't even bother repeating. You know and I know that if these spiritual CEO types are spouting words that have no place in the ears of someone who is "in Christ" then you need to run, not walk away from the them.

I'll repeat another question I have posed in the past, how can I "go" to church if I am the church(part of it)? These men chain you to their drive through/fast food model of 'christianity' preaching salvation without repentance, Grace as a license for sin, mandatory attendance at their business meetings ("services"). They reach back and cherry pick tithing out of the old testament and leave all the rest to collect dust.

More and more these days the wolves are getting desperate, and the sheeps clothing is sliding off their heads. As financial conditions tighten, they are feeling the squeeze. More and more I'm hearing new and inventive verbal whips and prods to extort money from the people. It always comes down to money does'nt it? Men within babylonianity today hate legalism when it comes to salvation, they preach grace! grace! But when it comes to money....oh, LAW LAW, you must "tithe!"

Men have built multi-million dollar empires for themselves in the name of God, and now those empires are crumbling. Hows does it look when the "pastor" is well fed, driving a pimped out ride, has no worries about his house, but the entire flock is stuggling to survive? See anything wrong with that picture? These men will ride down the last sheep, to extract the last drop of blood to maintain themselves, and their empires at all costs. They don't care about extorting, lieing, cheating, stealing, whatever they have to do, because they can always "ask for forgiveness later" right? That's one major syringe full of poison that satan has always given the babylonian church. It lines up perfectly with the line he feeds the world too. Remember the old "stairway to heaven song?"

It says:

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on.

That's what the babylonian church tells you as well. OSAS (once saved always saved) is the driver for the same old satanic lie from the very beginning. Don't worry, you can always repent later....unless "later" never comes for you....

Listen, I believe in giving generously, but not a single penny, not one half of one cent to anyone in babylonianity. Yea, I can hear the condemnation already, sounds familiar. "Hey, he eats with tax collectors and prostitutes," sound familiar? Do you think the Lord will condemn you if you give your time, effort, money and attention to the poor, the widows of this world?

James 1:27 Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their misfortune and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Keeping myself and yourself "unstained by the world" means avoiding the things that stain you. When todays so called christianity walks like the world, talks like the world (minus their "christian jargon"), acts like the world, looks like the world, should I or you be among them? Is the way to keep a white garment clean to jump in the middle of a mud puddle?

If you want to keep it scientific, go slice and dice churchianity any way you want using polls and statistics and you will see they are NO BETTER in any category than the world, no difference, ZERO.

There is a broad way and a narrow way in this world. Most people are on the broad way, a few are on the narrow way. We already know that the broad way leads to destruction. The road that most people are on leads to destruction, so why do people follow them anyway?

Matt 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Supporting an apostate system is to be held accountable with that system.

Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

What's he talking about there? ^^Come out of what? BABYLON. The so called church that exists in the heart of babylon is as corrupt as the nation that hosts it. If it was'nt we would see more salt and more light, which would mean less rot and less darkness. As things stand this country is rotting and in almost pitch darkness. Don't take my word for it, look around, use your own eyes.

Each day that goes by, I see more and more evidence that this time, the Lord intends to withdraw "the restrainer" soon. I see a satanic spider web almost fully developed ready to catch and kill the people of the world. The Lord, for a long time now, has regularly swiped his finger through satans webs to force him to try try and try again to build a full web. This time, its almost complete. I have no doubt that we are getting very close to the start of the tribulation. Everything that needs to happen for the anti-christ to be revealed can happen in a mindblowing short amount of time.

I hear alot of talk about the "10 kings" necessary for anti-christ to arise. Men say that since we don't see the 10 kings today anti-christ must be aways off..Really?

Revelation 17:12 "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who
... And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

You see what that says? It says they are kings without kingdoms YET. They receive power one hour with the beast. What does that mean? It means they have power for a short time span, it does not mean they are'nt around today.

Think about this, war is an instrument of transformation. We live in a year of transformation. Do you know how fast the landscape of this world can change in one day? What happens the day of our escape? What happens days after WW3 starts? Major transformation, in DAYS. Remember "when they shall say peace and safety" then sudden destruction comes on them? How much time elapses there? Almost none, its lightning strike fast.

My point is this, we may well have to wait, which is why we must be patient, however, to tell people that we have more time neglects the fact that in the blink of an eye, the landscape of this world can turn upside down for the worse. I mentioned the escape and world war, what about the day that aliens/superheroes/angels/demons/whatever they will call themselves show up?
How do we know that the 10 kings are not 1o demonic kings/princes?

To discern anything in todays world we absolutely must have the Spirit of God. Without insight from him, without faith in us, we are blind. I really don't care what I have to say, I want to know what our Father has to say. What is the Spirit of God saying to us today? That's the important thing, everything is is a sidenote.

This world is transforming, and quickly. Let's keep our eyes on the prize, let us pray for the escape we were told to pray for (luke 21:36). Lets be ready like the wise virgins with lamps full of oil and jars of spare oil on the side. Patience and Readiness are our friends today. Be faithful, be obedient, try to please the Lord with everything you think and do. I write to myself as much as I write to you here. May the Lord bless you and keep you, may his face shine upon you and grant you peace...in Christ.
