"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.

The Strait of Hormuz-The imminent war.

   Iran has been thumbing its nose at the United States and Israel for quite some time now, and now they threaten to close the Strait of Hormuz! The world get's 1/6 of its oil through that strait, and if Iran closes it, it will lead to World War, ultimately. It is evident that Satan is working in the world today, even as you read this, Iran could possibly already be closing the Strait of Hormuz. It is an unsure time in which we live, but we can know we are that much closer to the rapture. How do I know? Well let me explain...
   Iran threatened the close the strait of Hormuz on December 27, 2011; Since then, oil prices have risen 5% according to a foxnews poll. Will gas prices on the rise it will not be long before it reaches $5.00 a gallon in America, maybe even seven, or eight, maybe even ten dollars a gallon. Being an American I cannot speak for other countries on how high your gas will go, but I can say it will increase drastically. With gas going up, and war looming over the horizon, and not to mention the possible death of the Euro, the world will call for a global currency. The Antichrist will call for the one world currency. Don't you see? It's all coming together! The earthquakes, the war, the money, and the chaos! It's all part of Bible prophecy! Do you hear it?............Do you hear it now?........... The 4 horsemen of the apocalypse gallop along their way to pour out their judgments on the world! Get ready! I can almost hear the trumpets, as Gabriel sounds the call, And at the midnight cry, we'll be going home! God Bless you my brothers and sisters in Christ! Don't lose hope. Faith hope and love abide....but the greatest of these is love.  

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.
