THE DAY COMETH

Malachi 4:1-3
1For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
3And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.
I was going to write about the LORD of hosts in the coming great and awful day of the Lord that is surely approaching the appointed time given the signs we are witnessing, but instead the Lord has turned my interest to the healing in His wings that He will bring to His children that will grow up as calves of the stall.
Amen.

I love this verse from Malachi because it shows that the Lord will use His people to tread down the wicked, but we cannot do it without Him and He tells us very clearly that "I SHALL DO THIS." We are nothing without Him. We can learn to walk in His ways by His grace and further His Kingdom as we are called to do every day by spreading the Gospel, but it is not by any of our doing apart from Him that will bring the Kingdom of God to the earth. The LORD of hosts tells us in Zechariah 4:6 that His temple will be rebuilt not by might, nor by power, but by His spirit, and previously in Chapter 3, verse 9 He tells us that iniquity will be removed in one day.

Back to the calves in the stall. What are we to make of those who fear the Lord’s name growing as calves in the stall? First, what do we know about calves in stalls. We know that if they are tended with care they grow very, very quickly, and when Spring and Summer arrive, they are let out to higher pastures for grazing. Higher pastures indeed. I believe the Lord gives us this analogy because in that day, He will grow the calves quickly in wisdom and knowledge of Him. His spirit will be poured out and miraculous things will happen. The Lord will complete the work He has begun; make no mistake about it and while we speak the calves are being tended to with loving care by the Good Shepherd who loves them very much. He will bring the calves to maturity, and this maturity may be what the Lord uses to fulfill prophecy of evil being treaded and made into ashes under our feet. Powerful words from a powerful God. An amazing God who is worthy of all our praise for He is the Alpha and the Omega; the One who was, who is and is yet to come. Come Lord Jesus.

There was an appointed time for the Lord’s First Coming and there is an appointed time for the Second Coming. To witness all evil be removed from the earth will be a most joyous day but even better than that is witnessing the majesty of His glory manifested. It is a win-win situation; no more evil and the Lord begins His reign on earth and all our tears will be wiped away.

Our Lord is coming to reign and He is bringing our redemption with Him with healing in His wings to restore His children.

I rejoice with thanks and praise for all His ways.

Northern Los Angeles is experiencing a winter storm of its own that is causing mudslides:

The news is now reporting the Euro has the swine flu and Greece is likely to default.

Interesting times but not for the faint of faith.

FF,
Great post and timely.

Indeed that great and awful day of the Lord is fast approaching. We can't live in denial and pretend everything is/will be fine if we "release positive energy". When God says "He shall do" this and that, He means it. What He said must come to pass.
Tension in middle-east is high with Syria threatening Israeli cities. They have also been arming Hizballah with missiles. Israeli Navi ships have also crossed the Mediteraian towards the persian Gulf. Money matters as usual matter and the fear of worlwide economic crisis is growing by the day. Japan had 6.4 today. Its been so long since the media fed us with good News. Signs of the times are really pointing to our redemption. The Lord will indeed come.

Stay blessed and keep looking up.

And what a big business the earthquake business is! What a great article and it sure clears up a lot of questions, and created a couple. Thanks for sharing it. Great find my friend.

The mid-atlantic states and New England are going to get hit with more snow this week. Alot of weird words being thrown around like 'snowpocalypse' and 'snowmegeddon' and now I have seen 'apocolympics' for the soon to begin Olympic games. Many watchful Canadians think their country has been set up for the next false flag.

Amen, Annon. The Lord will indeed come and the whole world will see His majesty. He tells us He will not delay. I often think of how many people mocked and laughed at Noah...until the downpour came and then it was too late.

I am glad you liked the post. I enjoy your spirit immensely and your search for the truth according to His holy word is a joy to witness. May He continue to shine His face on you my brother. We must be planted firmly in His word so we won't be led astray and nothing can cause us to be plucked us out of His hand. His amazing loving caring hand. How great is our God.

You were really missed.

Love and blessings.

Now that is a refreshing change Ali, to see some real truth in the MSM!

This is rather unusual:

http://wcbstv.com/health/ny.mumps.outbreak.2.1476391.html


Proverbs 2
1My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
10When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
13Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
16To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
17Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

Amen.

Love and peace to all.

Lately when I post, there's an 'error' message and it wipes my post out. Arrrrgh!

Great links, Ali. And speaking of Bush, how he would always say 'The war on Terra' and people would crack on him for not speaking correctly. Most likely he was speaking very correctly as "Terra" is latin for "earth" and there certainly is a war being waged against the earth and all the inhabitants.

Obama says he does not 'begrudge' the CEOs of AIG and JP Morgan their million dollar bonuses because after all, most athletes make more than than and they really are very saavy businessmen.

Germany states there will be no bailout for Greece. Some believe the economic woes started when they hosted the Olympics a few years back, but here we are today:

So much to say and so little time.

Love and peace. Keeping the faith in our ever smaller community of faith, but no less loved because of it.

We are surely reaching the melting point. Quickly.

A really good article:

http://beforeitsnews.com/story/17935/Builders_of_the_Modern_Babel.html

The US testing of a laser strike was successful yesterday and they are calling it revolutionary. A new and improved way of warfare using directed energy.

We are shown 'never before seen' pictures of 911 while we are told that there will be another 'attack' in 3-6 months. The psychological warfare continues.

The luge track in Vancouver that claimed the life of a young athlete from Georgia is known as the most dangerous in the world. Yet, an investigation finds the track is safe and the accident occurred because of human error. The games must go on.

Reported to be unprecedented, every state in the US has snow except Hawaii. Another storm with less severity is heading toward the Mid-atlantic states and the east coast again on Monday and Tuesday. The south has virtually shut down from their unusual snowfall. China is having severe storms that are interferring with their new year celebrations. Life is being interrupted everywhere.

We should be prepared for anything, but mostly for the Lord's glorious return. Trust and faith in Him and Him alone and all His ways for they are perfect as is His timing. A time and a purpose for everything. He knows best and that is more than good enough for me.

Be of good courage for the Kingdom of God is within us and we have the promise of the Kingdom of Heaven that is yet to come. Our God is so good who reigns in the hearts of those who love Him and He is coming to reign on the earth. Rejoice for all the glory that will finally be given to the One who deserves it, our Savior Jesus Christ. Praise His holy name.

Keep looking up.

All the nations seem to know that this war is coming like it is inevitible. I wonder how much time is left before this monster is unleashed. Most likely it will take place even though the consequences are expected to be very tragic with 'big, big, big problem for all of us' says Mullen:

Israel has a dirty little secret war already going on and when it gets struck back for it, will cry foul and there will be no stopping it because Israel wants war and what Israel wants, Israel gets and it looks like it will be Lebanon first. Netanyahu has been in Russia and Clinton is in the Gulf mucking things up even more and Obama is hosting Taiwan's Dalia Lama this week which has China seeing red (pun intended). Civilians are being killed in Afghanistan in the largest 'operation' since the 2001 invasion and the Taliban leaders are not interested in anything other than getting the US and Karzai out by any means necessary and available. Reports of worries about another quake in Haiti and Yellowstone quakes continue to swarm leaving scientists to believe that tetonic plates are shifting.

There's the global economy that they choke a little more everyday and the euro is all but dead just as is the dollar. New world currency to the rescue. Order out of chaos, but first the chaos.

The world is rumbling and grumbling as we head toward the final battle of good and evil just as it is written. All His words comfort and bless. Thank you Lord.

The perfect storm is brewing from every direction. The cold snap in Florida is killing the coral reefs, I heard gators were freezing to death and the whole world seems to be falling apart before our eyes. Whether we can accept it or not, it is changing quickly. Extreme weather continues to wreak havoc by disrupting lives and wiping out crops. They are saying that a lack of fog in California is threatening the redwoods. The things you don't think of. Yet it was the most widely watched Super Bowl in history. Keeping your head buried in the sand does not mean it is not happening nor does it keep it from happening. The birthing pains for the new kingdom on earth are getting closer together. Once the pains reach a certain intensity, the new life arrives.

Prayers for all who are suffering.

Today is the first day of the Christian holy days of Lent of which is a reflection of the days leading up to His persecution and death. A remembrance of the purpose and fulfillment of what He came to do. To die for me and you so we can have eternal life. It is the very event that is the entire reason for the hope we have in Him. If we believe. If we accept this most gracious offer extended to us.

My heart feels saddened today for the world still rejects Him. Even though I understand this is the way it is to be and He tells us that a day will come when the whole world will bow and confess He is Lord, but most would rather He not return in their lifetime...if ever. I wonder how much faith would be found if faith were measured.

Jesus is still getting dragged through the mud. New age mystics mix Him in with whatever you happen to be comfortable with worshipping because they believe any and all gods are God, but nothing could be further from the truth. This coming glory belongs to a jealous God and there is one and only one true God. Some people want to see intergalactic beings receive credit and glory for saving mankind, and others just deny Him. I pray for a Spring Harvest if it be the Lord's will.

I enjoyed seeing the people of Iran and America come together in any way in good sport. I liked the comment the American said about the Iranian people being nothing like how they are portrayed to us, and many will never get the opportunity to figure this out for themselves. So thanks for the moment of joy of watching people come together, Ali. Good luck everybody.

There was a deep earthquake of 6.7 on the Russian Chinese North Korean border today.

While all the talking heads argue and debate about the stimulus having improved or failed the economy, financial experts are saying it is time to run for the hills because the crash is coming.

I am delighted that you are delighted Ali. I feel the same about your watchfulness and I am thankful that God has brought us together on this journey.

Stay blessed and keep looking up for Jesus' Kingdom in Heaven is coming.
