2012... The end of the world?

   I was currently writing a series taking you through the book of Revelation, I still am, but I just HAD to address this issue. I can tell you for certain that the world will NOT end December 21, 2012. Some might argue, "well only God knows." No... We know, as children of light, as well. He has told us there must first come great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world. Seven years the earth will face judgments. The Anti Christ will control the entire world. We have ATLEAST seven more years to go until the end of the world, and even then, the world wont actually 'end'. God will make all things new. He will wipe away the earth like a clean slate.
   So please don't worry about 2012. It is possible it will be a major end time event, how ever, that is uncertain. I hope you have a very happy new year, and look back on this year, and press forward in the next! Happy New Year! God bless.

Reflection of the past, Revelation of the future.

   The bible is a historical book. It has kept records even from the beginning of creation, and has fore told events all the way up to the end of the world and the redemption of man. The way I see it there is three major parts of the bible and they are The Past-In which we learn from how others before us who have put their faith in God, and also from the mistakes of the ungodly, as well as the Godly. Then there is The future-Where we learn that all of our earthly struggles will come to an end, and we see how God will redeem His creation and He vividly shows us how he will through His prophets. Then we have Encouraging true stories that show how when we place our faith in God alone, He will bring us the victory, my friend!
   We must learn from the past, live for the present and look to the bright future! When I see the events of this world unfold, and when I hear of rumors of wars, I rejoice, because I know that makes us that much closer to His second coming where He will place His feet upon the Mount of Olives and put an end to All wars with the sword of His mouth.
   My cyber audience is just now beginning to grow, and I feel I can use this to help those around the world. I'm sure some of you reading this are distressed, and weary, and are tired of the things of this world. but these things must shortly come to pass. I want to share some verses that I find encouraging, but before I do, I encourage you to tell your friends about this blog where I will try to accurately bring you up to date on bible prophecy and reveal what the word says on prophecy and the end of days. Here are those verses:
-But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31


-But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Matthew 24:13


-Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Matthew 24:35
 

The Mark of the Beast- The deceiver's tactic.

"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." Rev. 13:17
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark. You see, the beast [the anti-Christ] will force EVERYONE to take the mark. The false prophet enforces the mark for possibly more than one reason. The first reason I can think of is it will 'reduce crime rates'. Now you're probably wondering "if the Antichrist is Satan incarnate, why would he want to reduce crime?" The answer to that is simply this: If you take his mark, you have already damned your self to Hell. (Luckily we're not in the tribulation yet, this wont happen until then, but the Lord is leading me to inform every one about it.)
  9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

 ¹⁰The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

 ¹¹And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Rev. 14; vs 9-11

You see? Satan wants to be worshiped, loved and adored by a people, and his people will be those with his mark. Now, back to the reducing crime. Through reducing crime, people will think he is a deity. 

   Before I go any further I would like to express my opinion on what the Mark of the beast will be. It will be a mark, but a mark of "loyalty" to the Antichrist. It will be a tracking device implanted in your right hand or forehead, it will have all your information on it. You will have to use it to buy and sell. 

   I just felt obliged to give a brief summary of what it really is. A called this post a deceiver's tactic because that is precisely what it is. He wants nothing more than to deceive you. I cant help but wonder, have you been deceived? You know, during that time [the tribulation] they will not have the opportunity to choose what to believe. You will have to choose the mark, or you will choose death. Those are the two options the Antichrist will give you. But now we can choose! Choose Jesus Christ! Accept Him into your heart! He doesn't want you to be deceived by Satan! He loves you, and He died for your sins! I would like to leave you with this verse: John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have ever lasting life. God bless you all.

The Anti Christ: Can we know his name?

       Kicking off the Tribulation a leader will sign a covenant with Israel and the rest of the world, and will ultimately rule the world. This man is known as Anti Christ. He will promise peace. The world will look to him as a savior, but don't get confused. He is Satan incarnate. Actually he will become Satan incarnate. He will rule the world for seven years, and will be killed half way through his reign, but will be resurrected satanically, by Satan, and Satan himself will indwell in him. 
       But is it possible to know any thing about this man? The bible makes it clear we can know. John, who wrote the book of Revelation gives us a clue  'Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.' Revelation 13:18. He starts out by saying 'Here is wisdom', when ever you see that in the bible it is obvious that the writer is trying to tell you something. In the original Hebrew language each letter had its own numerical value. So John is trying to tell us we can add up the name of a suspect to be the Antichrist to discover if he is in fact the Antichrist. It's a very unique way to pass time, if anything. 
       So we can know his name, but is there any thing else we can know about him? The bible says the world will love him, he will bring peace, and people will actually thing he is Christ! Can you believe that!? That shows exactly how much of a low life Satan is. He has to fool people into loving him. That old serpent. Watch and be ready, and do not be fooled. Paul said  'Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.' And Jesus says 'For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.' 
       We are in the last time, friends. Do not be deceived, and let your heart be ready for Christ's glorious return!

 'Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.'

A Dictators Death

Communism in North Korea has been around since the Cold War. No doubt Kim Jong Un, Kim Jong Il's son, and successor will follow in his fathers foot steps possibly with his own style. Even with the death of Kim Jong Il, communism still remains a problem, not only in Korea, but in countries around the world. Will this mean tensions between the North Koreans and the South Koreans will intensify? In my opinion: Maybe. Since the former U.S.S.R. set up the government for N.K. and the American government set up the S.K. government, they have since been at each others thoughts, as tensions remained.
How does this tie into bible prophecy? I believe it will not directly. However, it will when you look at the whole picture. Ushering in the Tribulation is the seven year peace treaty with Israel and 'the many' (every other nation). Am I saying that N.K. is going to attack Israel? Absolutely not! But there will be the need for a peace treaty, and you cannot have a peace treaty without war. WW III. This will involve the entire world, and I believe it will be before and leading into the Tribulation. Here's why; 'the beast' of Revelation will make this peace treaty, but he will offer a false peace. But the world will love him. Just a little prophecy lesson I thought I would add, but back to North Korea. This could lead to a spark creating another Korean war. The U.S. will get involved, China (China already stated they will stick by Iran((our enemy)) even in WW III))) will have a role in it. Iran will as well, especially with the Nuclear weapon program under way (that is a direct conflict with Israel). Russia will get involved. How do I know? Ezekiel 38 says that Gog and her allies will attack Israel, but Israel will be supernaturally protected. I will not take the time to list all of her allies, but let's just say it will be just about every middle eastern country.
Needless to say we are watching prophecy unfold before our very eyes! It amazes me to know that we have the golden opportunity to see what was written some 2000 years ago. Now finally I want to ask you this. We can get excited about prophecy being fulfilled, but when Christ returns will He know to take you up in the rapture? Do you have an serious relationship with Him? After the rapture it will be a very, very sad time, knowing that you were left behind to suffer the judgments God has in store for this earth. Not to mention your loved ones leaving you to be with Jesus. I urge you to accept Him as your Lord and savior before it's everlasting too late. Here is how: Read this prayer first, and then pray it with a meaningful heart, God I know I am a sinner. I know you died and rose again on the third day. Lord, I pray you will forgive me for all my many sins. Lord forgive me. Come into my life, and make me white as snow. Amen.
