"When we all get to Heaven."

   I've been doing a lot of thinking in my alone time recently. Thinking of the Rapture. Thinking of life after death, and what it will be like. It sounds a little depressing, but strangely, it's rather soothing. The thought of forever being with Jesus Christ forever one day is intoxicating. When He welcomes me with open, loving arms, and I hear those beautiful words, "Well done, my good and faithful servant. Enter into the Glory of the Lord." And all trials, all tribulations, all suffering will all fade away. The shear Glory of it all! And it is soon coming.
   I have noticed an increase in prophetic dreams from God, that people claim they have been given. People say in the dreams, that they have either heard the marvelous sounding of the Trump of God, and some even recall being "snatched away into joy and peace". In Joel 2: 28 it says  “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions."
   These ARE the Latter days.
Jesus is giving us signs and warnings, and if Jesus has given you a dream or vision, let people know! Don't hold it in for yourself. Yes, I will not lie, you will be persecuted, but Jesus Himself says "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
   So, I tell you this now, my brothers, and sisters in Christ, Jesus is getting ready to rapture His Church. How is your relationship with the creator of Heaven and Earth, and He who holds your very breath in the palm of His hands. Stand up! The world is becoming farther and farther away from God. Stand up! Hold on to His nail scarred hands! He loves you! And so do I. I love you brothers, and sisters, and I love you, sinner. Yes, you. The drug addict, the prostitute, the man that has been running from God all his life, the widow that has said in her heart  "God took my husband, so what should I give Him?", also the one that says I have no Idea what I'm talking about, and that the world will go just the way it is forever and ever. I love all of you, with a love so great, and so grand that only Jesus could be the one behind it! 
   HAVE YOU HAD A DREAM OR VISION OF THE RAPTURE? EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE OR IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT PERSECUTION, OR MOCKERY, JUST COMMENT BELLOW, AND I WILL TRY TO GET BACK WITH YOU!

GOD LOVES YOU!

 

The Parable of the Fig Tree

32“Learn this parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near, right at the door. 34 I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place."

   So many times this passage of scripture is just looked over by scholars, when in reality, this is a major portion to understanding when the rapture of the church will be. Now if I had a dime for every time I heard someone say, "Well the bible says no one can know when Jesus will return." I'd be a billionaire (well that wouldn't be so bad, now would it?) But on a serious note, I believe Jesus does not want us to live in the dark as the rest of the world: 1 Thessalonians 5:4

"But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief."

   The day that Paul is speaking of here is the Rapture! 1 Thessalonians 5:2 says:

"For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night."

Jesus will come as a thief, meaning suddenly, or without warning. When a thief robs a home, he does not announce when he is going to rob it, also Jesus says in Revelation 3:11

"Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown."

   Let me recap here. The Rapture will be quick, "In the twinkling of an eye", it will be without warning, and we will know when it is NEAR. Let me explain. In the first verse I put in this blog, It is Jesus talking to His disciples, and he gives them a command  to learn the parable of the Fig Tree. Now what is the Fig Tree? Well obviously it's a parable, and Jesus says whenever the branch becomes tender and puts out it's leaves (this is a reference to Israel becoming a nation) Israel became a nation in 1948. He says when you see this, know that He is near, even at the door. Then He goes on to say that the generation that sees Israel become a nation shall NOT pass away until all these things take place. (He is speaking of the Rapture the tribulation, and the second coming). In Psalms, the Psalmist says a generation is 70 to 80 years! If we take the date of Israel becoming a nation (1948) and add to it 70 years we get 2018, if we add 80 years to it we get 2028. If we subtract the 7 year tribulation period from the generation being 70 years, we get 2011; if we subtract the 7 year tribulation period from the generation being 80 years we get 2021. So I can say by the power of the word of God that Jesus Christ will return for the church between the years 2011, and 2021.
   We can't know the day or the hour, but we most certainly know the season! And with everything happening now, such as the Iranian crisis, and WORLD WAR III looming (which I believe is the red horse of the apocalypse) and the coming fall of Damascus, this world is shaping up for the events to fall into place! These days will be like Noah's days. The world is saying nothing will happen, and that we're crazy, but I don't know about you, but I don't want to be engulfed by the coming flood, the flood of the Antichrist's reign of terror, and the flood of the blood that will be spilled in during the Tribulation. 

   Jesus Christ is at the door, knocking, waiting to come in and take His people back with Him. He's also knocking on the door of your heart. Will you let Him in before the door is shut? I plead with you to let Him in, and accept Him. He loves you. He wants a relationship with you, don't wait,    

Softly and tenderly, 

Jesus is calling,

Calling for you, 

and for me,

See on the portals, 

He's waiting,

and watching, 

Watching for you, 

and for me.

God loves you

Bible Prophecy Update - 2/16/12

Middle Eastern Pressure Rising.

   The Middle East has always been a place of war, disagreement, and simply put, fighting. It has been this way since time immemorial. But in recent weeks, hatred has seemed to spike. Jesus himself said that in the latter days there would be "wars and rumors of wars". Sound familiar? Israel has been threatening to attempt an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. There's the rumor, where's the war?
   The war is coming. Iran's tyrant of a leader has stated that he will not give up Iran's nuclear ambitions. I don't think he will, not without a fight that is. Just yesterday Iran cut off six European countries: Italy, Spain, France, The Netherlands, Greece, and Portugal. So if you are reading this from those countries, I'm sure gas has risen higher than it's ever been. So in short, it will eventually come to war. Nations cannot go without oil. And with Iran containing 1/6 of the world's oil supply via the straight of Hormuz, I cannot even begin to describe to you how it is going to effect the future.
   Have you noticed only sanctions have been put on Iran? Just sanctions. No actions. Just sanctions! And these sanctions are NOT BEING EFFECTIVE!!! Iran has felt no effects from the sanctions from Europe, or the U.S. Know why? Russia and China have been supporting Iran. Also in the past few months China has been growing in Economics, and is now becoming a literal world power. That is why this situation is so delicate, also not to mention Russia is already a world power, and they too are growing; Both China and Russia know something's boiling, in my personal opinion a major part of this "equation" is greed.
   I said earlier that Iran holds 1/6 of the world's oil supply, China and Russia know this. They will stick by Iran so that they can keep getting oil imports. Like I said, a very delicate situation. Attack Iran, and take out their nuclear facilities, and have Russia, China, and other middle eastern nations that profit by Iran's oil jump on us and Israel and possibly create World War III. WORLD WAR III!
What does the bible say about these things?
   The bible clearly states in Psalm 83, and Ezekiel 38 that a lot of middle eastern nations will attack Israel. Russia, which is in the land of Magog will be the chief in attacking Israel. Followed by Turkey (Gomer, Tubal, and Meshech, and Beth-Togarmah), the next would be Iran (Persia) Sudan (mentioned as Ethiopia, or Cush),and Libya (Put). I have done extensive studies on these, and have taken these from a lot of different views and opinions, and selected the most logically to share with you. These are the nations in my opinion that will attack Israel, ultimately bringing in WORLD WAR III right on schedule.
How will the U.N. allow such an attack?
   Have you noticed how many nations are having uprisings? Many leaders are being over thrown, etc. Libya, and Syria to name a couple. Many people are looking for a leader to put an end to fear, and death. The U.N. cannot deal with all the countries at once, and are becoming overwhelmed. We have the Iranian crisis looming, as well as the Libya crisis, which the U.N. cannot do anything about it effectively, due to Russia's and China's opposition to take action against it. The U.N. is basically powerless in that situation.
   So you see? It seems that the entire world is falling apart. Nearly the entire world is looking for a leader, not just any leader, but a leader that will guide them, a leader that will "Make sense to them". With many Middle Eastern nations leaderless, a new leader is coming to fill their places, however, this is not the kind of leader anyone needs. You guessed it, THE ANTICHRIST.
   Can't you see people? It's all fitting together like pieces of a puzzle. I'm sure the Antichrist is behind the scenes waiting. Waiting for what? Here's the good part. THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH!
   The Rapture will be the very last event before the Antichrist takes over. Picture this. Millions of people just vanish off the face off the earth, airplanes crashing to the ground, vehicles plowing into whatever meets their path, and not to mention possibly the absolute worst of all, loved ones are gone. The world is in Chaos! Chaos! Chaos! The people will need someone to make it all make sense! And the Antichrist will do just that! But he will deceive people by telling them something on the lines of "Alien abduction" or "Nuclear Radiation", and obviously if you aren't a Christian you will be deceived! 
   I will make a whole other blog about the Antichrist, but this blog is for tying the present with the future. The Rapture is coming, as well is the Ezekiel war, and the Tribulation. Don't be deceived by Satan, he wants you to think that I don't know what I'm talking about. He wants you to think the world will continue the way it has for years, I urge you friend, don't listen to him! Jesus is coming back, He is at the door! Be ready and don't be left behind!
How can I be saved?
   The bible says "for all of sinned and come short of the glory of God." You're first step is A) Admit you're a sinner and that you need Jesus. We all have sinned, but God is faithful and just to forgive your sins! With out forgiveness of sins you would be drug right down into Hell. B) Believe that God sent His son Jesus to die on the cross for you! He died for the sins of everyone, but it was so personal that He was thinking of you while He was hanging on that cross! And He desires to have a relationship with you! C) Confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is the Only begotten Son of The living God. Nicodemus once asked Jesus "What do I do to be saved?" And Jesus replied "believe on the Lord and you shall be saved."

   Pray this prayer:

    Dear Lord Jesus,

I know I am a sinner,

I want you to change my life, 

for the better, 

according to your will, 

I believe that you are God's son, 

and I know you died to save me,

 so I confess with my mouth, 

that you O, Lord, 

can save me, 

and I ask you, 

into my heart,

I love you Lord, 

Amen.
