PATIENCE AND LONGSUFFERING

Every once in a while when watching this corrupt system of things unravel before our eyes, I get a little impatient. Sometimes it's like watching every creeping thing crawl out from under the rocks where it used to be hidden well out of site, but is now in plain view.

In this land of the not-so-free, we see people, children included, being 'patted down' at the airports under the false pretense of safety and security for an event that didn't take place they way they say it did. Once again 911 is a pivotal point in our world. Those who still believe the 'official' story of 'September thee 11th' don't have a problem with the extreme measures they believe are necessary to secure their safety against those who hate our freedoms, while those who know 911 was an inside job, are most likely those who are crying foul over the loss of rights and we can be sure 'they' know this very well, and will be treated accordingly. The TSA, DHS, ICE and any other creative new branch of 'enforcement' is nothing more than a newly arisen Gestapo. Welcome to the brave new world in the land of the not-so-free.

Every illusion and every lie is going to be revealed. Some may find this frightening, for truth is always stanger than fiction, and the fiction itself has been pretty strange. For some it will be a time of refreshing cleansing.

The walls are shaking and are about to come down; not when I want them to, but when God wants them to. In the meantime, the shaking is real. This shaking that seems to be going on forever, albeit with increasing intensity, is a preparation for when the walls come tumbling down. For I believe when the walls finally start to fall, they will come down quickly. And there will be no place to hide.

At his Second Coming the Lord Jesus will take vengence upon the ungodly.

2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 (KJV)
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Amen.
The Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was longsuffering and patient, and I am trying to do the same while I groan anew and louder everyday for His glorious appearing and an end to Satan's reign on this earth. How great is our God.

This was meant to be a comment..

..but it was too long I guess so it wasn't allowed, and I didn't want to lose it, so this was the solution. My apologies for that.

I am enjoying the discussion and comments as well. A pleasant surprise to see you here, Dublin Mick and thanks for stopping in. I stop in at Visible's site regularly and enjoy your contributions and perspectives.

Regarding the discussion of Jesus' Second Coming and whether this miraculous event has already taken place. After Jesus was persecuted and crucified, He rose three days later and ministered on the earth in His glorified body for forty days to His disciples and many others as well as a crowd of 500 of which some of were asleep (didn't believe), and when the time arrived, He ascended into clouds to Heaven. I hope we can agree this far. The Bible says that in the same way Jesus was witnessed leaving the earth is the same way we will see Him return:

Acts 1:10-11 (King James Version)

10And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

The disciples were taught and proclaimed that the Kingdom of God is at hand; very near because God in all His infinite wisdom and love for His creation wants to be sought after sooner rather than later. Most people are likely to take a matter more seriously if they believe something is imminent rather than later. We are to live each day as if it is the day that He will return because nobody knows but the Father. Which comes into the point of Jesus being God, or god of lesser substance. If nobody but the Father knows the hour of Jesus' physical return, then how can they be of the same entity. All things are possible with God and Jesus is God. The miracles He performed and the prophecy He fulfilled should be enough to substantiate His words (His words are sufficient enough for me), but surely to deny His works is to deny His deity. The best way I can put it into words is one God in different forms, and Jesus questioned Philip about not knowing who He is in John 14:9 :

9Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

...and the Jews accepted Jesus as the Son of God, but when He claimed equality with the Father, they wanted Him killed:

John 5:18 (King James Version)

18Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Dave, the verse 5 of Revelation 1, I believe John is speaking of those the Lord had blessed to spread His message and rewarding and exalting them by making them kings and priests. We can walk as boldly as the disciples, as we should always be doing, and what is it you feel can be or should be done in order to destroy evil once and forever, and inherit the earth? I would just like to say that only God can make things new, and to inherit this world without the Lord Jesus making it new again, I wouldn't want to inherit it.

Thank you for giving me the chance to share my faith and my love for Jesus, complete man and complete God. How amazing is He. The Savior of the world and lover of your soul. Praise His holy name and give Him thanks. Stay blessed and keep looking up. For He is coming and it will be amazing.

I come in peace, too, Sandra! Hey, is Yakima still on fire? My state made the news today for missing radioactive material from the local hospital...but they don't think it was stolen, but they don't know. Yep, they walk among us! I ask because my sister who is visiting from Washington told me that Yakima is agricultural and it is very unusual to have a fire there. Dublin Mick knows that millions of seedlings were just mysteriously destroyed in Australia, and was thinking that maybe the fire is another attack on the food chain could possibly be taking place. Thinking out loud...probably shouldn't do that.

South America is having a snowstorm on one side and hundreds of penguins washing up dead on shores on the other side. Baby birds are falling dead out of their nests here (I have seen 3 in two days), possibly due to the extreme heat; others are leaving:

VENGENCE BELONGS TO THE LORD

Revelation 11:18 (King James Version)

18And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

Praise to our God for all that He has done, is doing and all that is to come.

Today is Ascension Day. The day which the Lord ascended into the clouds after 40 days from His glorious resurrection. Sadly, it is a day that doesn't get much attention or recognition, but what an important event. The actual date may well be misconstrued, as man has a way of doing, but the Ascension is no less real and it is a cause for great rejoicing and giving thanks.


Acts 1:10-11 (KJV)

10And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

11Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Amen.

Just imagine...if we only could, seeing Jesus come in like manner. What an amazingly truly blessed event that will be.

May the peace of the Lord be unto us all each and every day but prayerfully more abundantly on this Ascension Day of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

A RANT ABOUT OUR CHANGING WORLD CHANGING FOR THE BETTER

Another devastating earthquake in China. The world continues to shake and rumble, groaning louder with the birthing pains arriving closer that are ushering in the (real) new world order; The New Jerusalem. We are witnessing the end of this system of things and the revelations may just be beginning. It is amazing watching it unfold both from the spiritual perspective and the worldly perspective.

Somalia is experiencing horrendous flooding that has wiped out 7,000 hectres of newly planted crops. Yemen that normally has very limited rainfall is experiencing very heavy rainfall. Afghanistan was pelted with hailstones last week and a glacier in Peru on Monday broke free and caused a 75 ft. tsunami which swept away three people and knocked out water and power supplies to over 60,000 people and is threatening bridges and other infrastructure. East India had a cyclone go through last night while people slept, and the only report given was earlier that stated about 100 people were believed dead, but more deaths were expected after going through the 100,000 homes that were leveled. It can be argued that these events have always been happening, which is true enough, but they are happening more frequently and with increased intensity.

It is nearly undeniable at this point that our world is changing. For those who read the Bible, it is everything the Lord tells us it would be.

A new, much more powerful eruption in Iceland and the mightiness seen while watching youtube clips of the eruption makes me think of the power of God. Great picture in this link that puts the massiveness of the volcano in perspective, and there is an ever bigger volcano in close proximity that as yet is not affected, but there is the potential now with this new eruption coming from under an iceberg. A volcano erupting under an iceberg. Flooding has already began:

Israel claims it will not sign the Non Proliferation Treaty under pressure. But it hasn’t signed while there wasn’t any pressure. The blatant hypocrisy is of no real surprise. They are telling us that Al-Quida has acquired or will soon acquire nuclear weapons and we should know what that means…another attack on the homeland by those who hate our freedoms. We have been warned, but the Lord’s words constantly and consistently comfort and He tells us that He will cut it short and their plans do not come to fulfillment. But His plans do. This is cause for major rejoicing. Among all the chaos, those who trust in Him have hope that the appointed time for His glorious Second Coming draws ever near with each passing day.

Unrest in Krygzystan (which is a land that is considered to be the spiritual land of the Khazars? I read the other day), the Mexican drug warriors - who are unrelentingly ruthless, are spilling their war into the US, then there's the economy, the lawlessness and increase in crime, hearing the word ‘nuclear’ on a daily basis has suddenly become expected, accepted and routine, unemployment is still soaring and our world is changing before our eyes at a quickened pace, but it has been coming for a very, very long time.

Nearly the whole government of Poland is done away with by one felled plane by one way or another for one reason or another, and we are left to our own devices in the matter as who can prove any of it either way. The sad irony is they were going to attend a memorial for all the Poles who lost their lives during the Holocaust. It is reported that this particular government was not pro Israel and it had also managed to reject the mass H1N1 vaccination hysteria last year. They were reportedly getting ready to devalue their currency which may not have served the agenda of the (fake) new world order.

President Karzai has said that the planned massacre in Khandahar is not going to take place. Maybe he will join the Taliban. The Iraqi Sunni and Shi’ites are said to be joining forces with the mutual interest of kicking the occupiers out once and for all. McCain says we are 'pointing the gun at Iran, and we need to pull the trigger.' The audacity; the recklessness, the evilness and they do not know how deeply deceived they are.

Yes, we are warned and forewarned. The Lord has told us about this time that would come. Seek Him while He can still be found. We were created that we might love Him because He first loved us even while we are in our fallen state. How truly very great is our God who suffered and died for us all. A most priceless and precious gift that brings all the fruits of the Spirit by mere faith and acceptance, but the ultimate price will be charged for those who reject the wonderfully amazing love that He poured out the day He died and continues to pour out.

No Jesus, No peace.
Know Jesus and know peace.

Psalm 140 (King James Version)
1Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
2Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
4Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
5The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
6I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
7O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

PALM SUNDAY: Hosanna to the King of Kings

Palm Sunday begins the holiest week of the year for Christians, and the Passover Feast for the Jewish people. Our Lord and Savior Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey on this day for the Jewish feast of Passover. In biblical times the donkey was a symbol of peace and it was understood that those who rode them were of peaceful intentions, and the palms were symbols of martyrdom or victory over death. Many people believed.

46But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. 47Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. 48If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. (John 11:46-48 KJV)

And from then on they plotted to kill Him. Jesus is just as much of a threat to their 'place and nation' today as He was then. Even more so because this time He is coming with vengeance in the final battle that ends satan’s reign on this earth and begins the glorious reign of Jesus. Hosanna to the King of Kings who is coming to reign.

5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
(1 Timothy 2:5-6 KJV)

He is the way, the truth and the life. Praise His holy name and give thanks for all He has done, and is doing and all that is to come.

“I am the way the truth and the life; NO MAN cometh unto the Father BUT BY ME.” — Jesus Christ (John 14:6)

…SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION?

People are out in the streets in many countries with a recent report of protests against Putin in Russia. Last week the Thai people were throwing their own blood on the doors of parliament and in the streets. That is dreadful but it represents the level of dissatisfaction of those who are supposed to represent the people. Many people are starting to realize the lie of the façade that has been status quo for so long and we are seeing the desire for a revolution all across the whole world.

Revolution:
(n.) A fundamental change in political organization, or in a government or constitution; the overthrow or renunciation of one government, and the substitution of another, by the governed.

Yes, we the governed, want a change.

Proverbs 29:2 (KJV)
2When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

The Lord is coming to lead His people out of slavery once again. This time the change, the revolution, will be permanent. Do people want the Lord to be their ruler? Adam and Eve rebelled against His will and it certainly did not serve them very well by being kicked out of the garden. We are still lost and floundering outside of the garden while trying to make it our own way and have failed miserably for being removed from God is misery.

Enough suffering and onto restoration, I say. Some say we are going to have a leaderless revolution. I say it is the Lord Himself who is the leader of this revolution that is coming. He was a revolutionary when He walked the earth and what a change He is about to make in world today.


Jeremiah 17:7-8 (KJV)

7Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
8For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

The Lord is so good. Soon may all His people be rejoicing.

ISAIAH CHAPTER 12

1And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

2Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

3Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

4And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.

5Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.

6Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

HE HEARS EVERY CRY

On a Christian radio station the other day they told of a great story out of Haiti, a land well-known for worship of many gods, and they reported witnessing shortly after the devastating quake, the name most being called upon was that of Jesus. May the one and only true God, who is the only real and true equal opportunity for every single person in the whole world for all time, comfort and strengthen them.

Romans 10:12-13
12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Jesus is the man of sorrows and He knows all the sufferings, and He hears and cares about every cry of those who cry out to Him. Every cry. There is an appointed time when all the tears will be dried, when there will be no more sorrow, but until that day when Heaven and nature sing, there will be tribulation. It will not get any better until God’s Kingdom in Heaven comes down to earth, the New Jerusalem. First will come the destruction of Babylon (the world), and then the glorious restoration of things when His will shall be done on this earth.

In a world full of bad news that grows worse with every passing day, we have the gospel, the good news of the Kingdom of God that there is hope for all for eternal salvation through Jesus Christ who paid the price of our sins. The most tremendous gift ever for the taking and He gives us the promise of Heaven on earth with His Second Coming. The Kingdom of Heaven spoken of in the Gospels with Jerusalem as its Capital City where the Lord will rule from, a literal Kingdom, is what His faithful flock are waiting for with patience and longing. Jesus tells us that heaven and earth will pass away, but His words by no means will pass away. God’s word is living and active today, tomorrow and forever and ever. The Lord will deliver us.

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.

HOW LOW WILL WE GO?

The Lord our God has foretold us all we are going to see in these end of days in this wicked system of things. In 2 Timothy 3:13 He tells us, But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

It would be hard to argue that things are not getting worse and worse. Their deception has increased in that it is hard to distinguish what may be God's hand at work or what may be manufactured by the evil men and the seducers. Their own deception deepens just as surely and just as deeply as they continue to weave a very wicked web. They really think they are in control. They believe their plans will be fruitful and they can rule the world with an iron fist because that is how deceived they are. Their making themselves to be God will be the cause of their destruction.

We now hear that Haiti has resources like gold and oil - allegedly more oil than Venezuela in fact. If true it would certainly explain the military presence in lieu of humanitarian personnel, and the shameless lack of aid getting through.

Goldman Sachs and the likes are posting billions in profits, so we read in the headlines. It's all in the bailout money. Money that was stolen from the people by their corrupt government and given to those who believe they control the world - the bankers. They think they have the power because they have the money. I am here to tell you that their bailout is nothing compared to our bailout that is coming.

The Lord tells us to be content with having food and raiment in 1 Timothy 6:8. In verse 6, He says, But godliness with contentment is great gain. Gain that cannot be lost and gain that will increase in value as we place more importance on heavenly treasures than the earthly treasures. The things of this world will pass away but His Kingdom will last forever and ever. They are never content and are always grabbing and stealing more and more. And they don't care what blood is shed to get it. Their deception is as deep as their depravity and they are extremely depraved.

The devil is roaming around seeking whom he can devour and greed is one of the main tools. Everything these days seems to have a price on it; we have sold roads, parks and monuments, corporations and trademarks over the last decade, and while politicians have always been controlled, it is now an accepted standard of business-as-usual to purchase them outwardly. Blurring the lines used to be unacceptable, but not anymore. The soul of our nation has been pimped out to the highest bidder with no shame whatsoever. Waxing worse and worse indeed. Corporation fascism at its best, or at its worst all depending on your perspective and which side of the battle you are on.

Their love of money will not serve them the way our love of God will. I say they can have it because it is what they deserve anyway. It's as worthless as the sinking sand they stand on. They are going down and they don't even know it.

THE GREATEST BOOK OF ALL

Many people are searching for answers, solutions, an explanation of what is going on in our world today. People offer up an array of suggestions depending on their perspective of what it is exactly that they think is ailing our world.

If one views the culprit of the misery to be the economy, then people like to say and believe that things will turn around sooner or later. If it's the weather that being discussed as it is with many farmers, then it's just changing weather patterns - nothing out of the ordinary, move along. Others look at it from a political perspective, or societal and so on and so forth. Everybody has an answer about it even if it is denial that things are drastically out of whack everywhere, and I have a response as well. My take is a spiritual one that is written about in great detail in the Holy Bible about this very time in which we find ourselves. It is a book that was written for all people of every generation since the beginning of time that holds blessings of truth and guidance for those that search earnestly. An amazing wonder if you really grasp this fact in its' entire splendor. It's miraculous. And I believe in miracles. With God all things are possible, especially miracles.

There is a generation that is spoken about frequently in the gospels that will not pass away without seeing the Lord's second coming. Alive on this earth today is that generation. And this is the time prophesized about for that generation...a time like no other.

If this is not a time 'like no other' then why o'why are we seeing the things we are seeing - without or without the spiritual eye to see. Surely in the physical world we all can see more crime and hatred, more unrest, more war and bloodshed, more disease, more hunger, more greed, more deception, severe weather, more blatant references to occultism and increased lawlessness in general. Yet we talk about the weather like there's no tomorrow (pun intended). Biggest and main topic of conversation in the work office today, the weather was, with the engulfing storm snarling our daily lives. We can talk about the weather yet we cannot discern the time we are in. Jesus told us about that, too.

So, let's talk about the weather. Is it live or is it Memorex? We are told that emails were leaked alledgedly proving manipulation of 'scientific data' to sell the hoax of global warming. Was this done by a sincere whistle blower or is it done to suit a purpose for their agenda as well. It is harder and harder to tell. Did Russia really leak them from Siberia. They say it was not a job done by an amateur. Wonder whatever happended to Mr. Joseph Moshe who was briskly whisked away to Israel after attempting to blow the whistle and sound the alarm of H1N1 being used as a bioweapon. Whatever happened to the swine flu, and is the pandemic in the Ukraine real or propaganda to make us want to voluntarily take the vaccine thus separating us into those that are believing their lies and those who are not until they try to force it on us. The shots are free and I say anytime your government wants to give you something, it should be seriously considered why.

The (temporary) powers that be are convening right now to discuss the effects of warming temps while almost the whole US is engulfed in a snowstorm of varying degrees - which seems unnatural in the most unnatural way by the way aside from the fact that it is so widespread. Someone made the comment today that the snow looked like the fake snow stores put in the storefronts. I had already thought the same thing...except for the part about the storefronts. We see reports of icebergs twice the size of Hong Kong are heading for New Zealand. What do you do about that, if anything. Fifty foot waves in Hawaii has surfers flocking to catch the possiblity of the ride of their life. We are in for a ride alright. Last week New England had such severe storms in the morning that there was vast flooding with power knocked out to thousands, which subsided quickly, the sun returned and at least three states set record high temperatures for December. One guy that was interviewed who was dressed in shorts while walking his dog in the park described it best when asked what he thought about it, said 'it's bizarro.' I was inclined to agree with him. Many things are bizarro in our world today.

What is the real deal behind global warming...other than the huge profits. God said there would be flooding in these endtimes, and He certainly has the power to do so. They try to explain it with 'scientific data' and can't just like they can't completely explain away their (false) theory of evolution. Although maybe evolution is very real for the strangers that dwell among us and this is why they push it so hard even though it cannot be proven and they admit it...what does a fallen angel look like, by the way and what did they used to look like. But continue they do to try to explain the abnormalities we see while they mock and laugh at us and paint bizarro streaks in our skies. They continue to deceive and confuse. I believe we see both kingdoms at work in the weather - a gauge of sorts of both the seen and the unseen battle that is being waged. By now we know that HAARP is very real. China openly reports about manipulating the weather like Bush Sr. mentions the New World Order that the time has come for like it's normal conversation. Just a few weeks ago China made the heaviest snowfall on record in an attempt to lessen severe drought conditions. Jesus told us there would be droughts as well in these endtimes. It is all written and it is there for all to see and hear. Like that old saying of 'All I ever needed to know, I learned in kindergarten.' I say, all I ever needed to know is in the Bible. The most amazing story ever told - the history of mankind. How we got here, why we are here, what happened to get us into this fallen state and where we are going. There are lots of other books written by many people trying to explain things that cannot be fully explained, not accurately anyway without consulting the greatest book of all time The Bible, and most are a waste of time, energy and money. I hear people recommending different books all the time, but seldom does the Bible get recommended; the one that has all the answers. That's the state of the world in the endtimes which Jesus told us about that as well; when men would not believe sound doctrine. The somewhat success control of the weather is part of their tainted view for world dominance, and even worse than that, it could possibly be a feeble attempt at making themselves like Him. God knows and that is all I really need to know.

Apologies for the rambling. Bottom line is nothing in this world is as it seems but the Lord never changes; only the times and these times they are a'changin quickly and quickly may we soon be changed in the twinkling of an eye.

THE FATHER’S HOUSE

John 14:2
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

In more than one place lately, I have seen reference to Jesus’ words of ‘many mansions in my Father’s house.’ Unfortunately, more of them have taken His words out of context and change the meaning. Maybe because Jesus does not speak of one big mansion where all His people dwell with Him, but rather says the word many, people think the mansions are different in some way with different ways used to get there. Nothing could be further than the truth because God’s word is never contradictory but always harmonious with complete syncrinicity throughout the whole Bible.

First off, let me say, I know the Father has good things, great things, in store for His children, and I know and believe ALL things are possible with God, but I do not believe that Jesus is referring to square footage (mansions) as much as He is telling us there is more than enough room for every son and daughter to be sanctified and glorified to dwell in His Father’s House. But the way into God’s Kingdom has only one way to belong in those dwelling places in Heaven and that is through God’s son Jesus Christ for He tells us so a little further on in John 14:6 :

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.


I take Him at His word indeed. Jesus is the only way to the Father’s House. Our amazing Savior who never leaves any stone unturned, further tells us how it is that we come to the Him, the amazing Son:

John 6:44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Amen.

God created all the people of the earth and every ear will have a chance to hear the truth with equal opportunity to embrace it or reject it. This is our free will; real democracy in it’s purest form – the freedom to choose. Jesus tells us the way is narrow because it is. Only through Jesus can salvation be obtained. How or why would the Father accept anything other than those that follow His Son after what Jesus did for all mankind and to glorify the Father. Why should He indeed for it was only Jesus’ blood and Jesus’ blood alone that was shed for you and me, and every single person in the whole world over.

Praise His holy name.

The Danger of a "Conservative" Bible

By now news of an upcoming Conservative Bible has spread throughout the media and Internet. This news can be viewed as just another flash-in-the-pan-soundbite: strange but harmless, or it can be recognized as part of a multi-staged campaign to hijack and destroy Christianity. Conservatives might consider that accusation as "unfounded", but in fact it is very deeply rooted in the very scriptures that Conservapedia is hoping to edit. For example, no matter how much conservative spin may be placed on the gospels, Jesus clearly implied his belief in the separation between church and state by many sayings, including: "give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.", and "No person can serve two masters; he will hate one and despise the other", followed by something that should frighten many conservatives: "You cannot serve both God and money".

The Republican party and the mainstream "Conservative" church have become hopelessly addicted to one another. The relationship between these two groups reminds me of the unfaithful wife and her lover, as described in Proverbs and elsewhere in scripture. No good has come of this relationship, and no good ever can. The world has already witnessed how the religious right-wing handles power: with unquestioning devotion to their leadership, and vile contempt for their political adversaries. Unfortunately, there are also many Obama supporters today who have followed the conservative example, and are just about as deep in their own political trench.

The fact is that political trench warfare which defines modern American politics started with members of the right wing whispering about some sort of "vast left-wing conspiracy" against the Republican party. Because of this unfounded rumor, the religious right banded together, voted in blocks, and vowed to destroy their democratic adversaries. By creating the phantom menace of a vast left wing conspiracy, an actual right wing conspiracy was born; its purpose was to win at any cost, which happened in the stolen 2000 Presidential race. Now the same accusatory tactic is being used in dealing with scriptures. The argument made on Conservapedia makes it seem as though there is a vast left wing conspiracy in translating the scriptures. They are working to rally the troops in making a Conservative Bible by outlandishly claiming that Liberal Bibles already exist. There is strong evidence that the spirit behind conservative Christianity is not the spirit of Truth. A by-product of political trench war-fare is a filter of bias that clouds the judgement on both sides; the reason is impaired, and chances of changing course go way down. In other words, turning the political arena into a battlefield makes it very difficult for people to go through the process of repentance.

Various definitions of sinful behavior come from scripture. The process of repentance is described in detail from many perspectives in the Bible. The tricks of the devil's trade: his tactics and strategies are exposed in the Bible. It is from studying the Bible that I have come to realize that the mainstream conservative church has fallen into the hands of the enemy of God. Conservatives who have followed the fold, and remain largely ignorant of the information contained in the Bible are lost without the guidance and correction that is offered through the Bible. What is being proposed in creating a "Conservative Bible" is a way to bypass the glaring discrepancies between what scriptures teach, and what many conservatives believe. The idea that such a translation could be made without completely butchering the entire Bible is laughable. But Conservapedia is attempting to do just that.

I believe the Republican party is an interloper that is figuratively in bed with the unfaithful wife known as the church. When on the mountaintop, Jesus refused to be given complete power in the world because he could only obtain it through spiritual infidelity: worshipping another over God. I believe that the modern church was given a similar choice, and chose worldly power and affluence over the course of faithfulness. In America today, churches are everywhere; compare this modern fact to Ezekiel 16:24-25 which says,

"You build a mound for yourself and make a lofty shrine in every public square. At the head of every street you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty, offering your body with increasing promiscuity to anyone who passes by".

Furthermore, the conservative mainstream church gives the Republican party votes, the only currency that matters to the GOP, and has done so for decades. In exchange for this, the Republican party has delivered nothing but lip-service in return. No laws re-banning abortion, no real steps taken to abolish gay rights (which are the two main hot-button issues of the religious right). Every voting season the Republican party brings these issues out of storage, and uses fear and promises to obtain millions of votes from church-goers across America, but the politicians never deliver on their promises. This, too has striking resemblance to Ezekiel 16: 32-34:

"You adulterous wife! You prefer strangers to your own husband! Every prostitute receives a fee, but you give gifts to all your lovers, bribing them to come to you from everywhere for your illicit favors. So in your prostitution you are the opposite of others: no one runs after you for your favors. You are the very opposite, for you give payment and none is given to you".

It is the responsibility of all Christians who are not under the spell that has hypnotized the religious right to stand up against such things as "the Conservative Bible", and to boldly hold powerful and persuasive church leaders accountable to the various ways that they consistently violate Biblical commands. That such misguidance has been allowed to flourish is evidence that we are very near the time of God's judgment. But judgment begins with the church.
Romans 13:10

"Give everyone what you owe him: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, pay revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. Let no debt be outstanding, except the continuous debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. The commandments, "Do not commit adultery" "Do not murder" "Do not steal" "Do not envy" and whatever other commandments there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself" Love does no harm to its neighbor, therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Passages like these do sound suspiciously liberal. That fact should be an alarm to self-proclaimed Christians who subscribe to conservative principles. The warning signs and red flags that saturate scriptures against a selfish conservative spirit cannot be ironed out as mere wrinkles. To do so would be to close off the only escape from a labyrinth of dogma and emotionality. The only way to love misguided religious conservatives is to explain to them the error of their ways, using scripture. The spirit that would inspire a Conservative Bible is the adversary of Christ.

2 Peter 3:1-18

3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

STRANGE TIMES INDEED

Even the weather is getting freakier; they don't even know if it was a tornado:

http://rawstory.com/news/afp/Freak_tornado_kills_17_in_Argentina_09082009.html

Tropical Storm Fred in the Atlantic is gaining strength and expected to be a hurricane soon. There are so many threats coming at us from so many directions and it is a waiting game to see which one will be what changes the world as we think we know it - if their plans get that far. It could be an economic crash, a 'natural' disaster, false flag or the pandemic. Surely they want us to think something dreadful is coming our way. And it has a lot of people uptight and on edge, even the ones pretending not to notice that our world is crumbling.

The truth is something wonderful is coming. To those who believe, nothing matters so much as to what is coming to this world other than the Lord God Almighty Himself. This is all about Jesus.

Many are looking for a major revelation to come in September, and indeed, the temporary powers that be have warned us as such. The deadline for Iran is the end of September, and Israel is defying the Obama adm. with the building of hundreds of settlement homes in the West Bank, the anniversary of 911 is coming, tomorrow is 9/9/9 and it all makes me think of 'harvest time' especially coupled with the unsettling, revealing news of those who say they are Jews and are not, harvesting body parts. When you think it can't get any worse, it does. Never think it can't get worse! It will get worse before it gets better, but better it will get. Thank you Lord for all you do and all that is to come.

We are not to know the day or the hour, and for good reasons that we can and cannot understand, but our Father in Heaven always knows best and that is more than sufficient for me. All is in His hands; everything in the whole world. Take comfort in knowing that everything we are witnessing is just as He foretold.

Our God is the greatest.

Hold fast to your faith in this momentous time we are living. It is and will be difficult, but a most blessed time as well.

Love and peace are coming to reign forever...something far, far better is on the way and He is more than worth the wait and whatever it takes to shake this world apart at the seams for His glory. All for His glory.

THE LORD WILL NOT DELAY

Matthew 24:44-51 (King James Version)

44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 45Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. Amen.

As God's people we are to live each day rejoicing for the Lord has made it and we are to be glad in it. The Lord provides the blessings to do just so by the fruit of the Spirit; Galatians 5:22-23 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.,along with a sound mind; 2 Timothy 1:7 7For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

In Matthew's verse 45 we are told that 'meat will be given in due season.' I believe the 'meat' is sustenance, as well as truth.

We are well equipped by our Lord and Savior with everything we need each and every single day. We are to always be prepared for His (unexpected) return; within our hearts and minds - our thoughts focused on spiritual things. One of my favorite spiritual things is believing tonight, this very night, could be the night when the whole world is awakened. Suddenly and unexpectedly, and while my mind has no accurate concept of what this great and awful day will really be like, my heart jumps for joy thinking about the 'twinkling of an eye' which will change everything in a mere instant. The New Jerusalem; Heaven on the earth that the meek ones are heirs to. The ones who are focusing on their meekness, as well as the other fruits of the Spirit, for we know our enemy is already defeated and the demise of that enemy is as imminent and swift as His return. Rejoice and make a joyful noise unto the Lord for He is the only One that is worthy of all our praise; the only One who is able to wage war with the beast; the only One worthy to open the Book of Life - Jesus Christ. The One who has equipped us to not only to endure the battle but to be the victors.

All our hope and trust in Him because all His words are true as are the promises to His people which are far better than anything this world has to offer. Be always willing to follow Him with knowing that there is nothing to look back for, not even for a second because the land of milk and honey is what lies ahead...and it's streets are paved in gold.

Time, Relativism & God

Time is a wonderful teacher but unfortunately, it kills all of its students ??

Well, that statement is not as compelling as one might expect it to be. Because first of all its connotation is negative. At least for those of us who believe we have not been descended from monkeys and our societies’ driving forces shouldn’t be based on Natural Selection Theory of Darwin, this projection of time and future at the same time is brutal. I mean, accept that statement and inevitably become the victim of a brutal slayer, time!

"So what?" Dick Cheney said after reading the first paragraph! Here is a point:

According to experiments of quantum physics in science, an observer of a reality and the reality of being observed, are not accounted as separate. The observer simultaneously plays a part in creating the reality he or she is observing. Put simply is this; human mind creates and controls the reality and therefore it is always confined in his/her cage of point of view.

"My fellow citizens, as had been said before there is no God" Said a friend of Mr. Cheney, abruptly after reading the second paragraph!

Now having quantum physics saying this, It is crystal clear that as one challenges the intelligent account of life, he or she automatically becomes trapped into his personal version of reality simply because he is concluding based on only one of the facets of reality which is being observed by him or her. It is simple; because Our mind is not ubiquitous, challenge God and become known as a dumbest person who is trapped into his ever-limited world of point of views!

Therefore, if anyone cares to pursuit happiness, quantum physics also proves the necessity of referring to an ultimate, comprehensive, beyond humanity’s and supreme point of view of life rather than the humanistic or evolutionary account of being. Why? Because, the only standpoint that encompasses all the creations’ point of views is God’s one.

Now talking about the time here is an "objective" account of time from our creator and cited in Holy Quran.

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

I swear by the time,

Most surely man is in loss,

Except those who believe and do good works, and exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to endurance.

Chapter 103. Al-Asr (Eventide, The epoch) - Holy Quran

And this is to show how I was inspired by this citation to make a film about our times. Needless to say at the end of the day, it is 'my' ever-limited story of our times and nothing more.

Keep the faith.

....LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT

1 Thessalonians 5:2-4

2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

These words, as all the Lord’s words, are very compelling and thought provoking. When you think about a thief coming in the middle of the night, when you are most unaware and unprepared, it can be a rather frightening prospect. Not just for property stolen or damaged, but also for the possibility of personal harm.

He comes like a thief in the night because the vast majority of people are unaware and most definitely unprepared. They are asleep; going through the motion of their life with paying God very little heed, if any. The Lord tells us that if we knew when the thief was to arrive, we would have remained watchful and vigilant. But alas, there is no way to know when or even if the thief might arrive. It is even reasoned that since he has not yet arrived, who knows, maybe the thief will never come. This is what most people desire, for the thief to never come so they can remain safe and comfortable in their slumber.

Jesus is not an ordinary thief by any means just as He is not an ordinary man. By that I mean Jesus is 100% man and 100% God. Most thieves take goods which do not belong to them, but everything belongs to the Lord because He has created it. Isaiah 45:7 (King James Version) 7I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. And He is in control of it. All of it. From beginning to end because He is the Alpha and the Omega. A righteous man will find comfort in this while a wicked man should be greatly troubled.

The wicked do not want the Lord to come because He brings their destruction with Him, and there will be no place for which to hide themselves. They know He is coming but would rather deceive themselves and others that He is not because otherwise some would conduct their lives differently and possibly be saved. The Lord comes as a thief in the night because most people are not looking for Him to come. Actually, truth be known, they are not just not looking for His return, but more don’t want Him to come. Most people get pretty aggravated when their slumber is disturbed and for those who now sleep they will be very startled to say the least.
One reason most do not want Jesus to return is people love their lives. They are comfortable in their lives, even with all the strife taking place all around the world, they want to carry on as they are and always have, because that is the way it has been since the beginning of time. Peaks and valleys throughout history to be sure, but the world has and always will maintain because it always has, hasn’t it. We are supposed to love our God above everything and anybody else, even our parents. This includes ourselves as well as our own lives. John 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. And Matthew 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

This is not to say the Lord does not want us to be happy, quite the opposite and He is the joy and peace in our hearts because He is the giver and taker of all things. Jesus gives life more abundantly and makes this life bearable through the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.)

Jesus is not an ordinary thief because He does not come just to take away, He comes to give so much more than this life could ever offer under the current fallen condition. For those written in the Book of Life, He brings eternal life.

How one views the return of the Lord may well reveal the condition of the heart. The wicked ones do not ever want Him to return and deny that He will; the lost souls are comfortable in their slumber and do not want their eyes opened any sooner than they are ready to have them opened and are not ready for His return; and His people whom desire nothing else more than for His will to be done on earth, wait patiently and longingly trusting in all His ways.

As always, until the great and awful day of the Lord arrives, and arrive it will, He is our strength. Praise His holy name today and forever and ever.

THE GREATEST GIFT EVER

John 3:31-36 (King James Version)

31He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

32And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

33He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

34For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

35The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

36He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.


Can we fathom love like the Father hath for His Son? Or the love the Son has for His flock?

Few of us can really imagine actually doing what God has done for us through His Son. Abraham was willing to sacrifice Isaac in his faithfulness to God and what a test that was. I am not so sure I could pass such a test, and how thankful I am that I will most likely not have to be tried and tested in this way.

While we endure trials and tribulations of big and small proportions, we are usually very comfortable knowing that we are saved because the Father sacrificed His One and Only Begotten Son that reconciles us to the Heavenly Father. We give thanks, praise and honor to Jesus for dying on the cross for our sins.

In our comfort, do we really think about this incredibly amazing act of love on the Father's part as well as the Son's part? I know I don't; not often enough anyway.

If I could truly imagine, which I cannot, willingly and purposefully having a child of mine ridiculed, tortured and killed, it would certainly make me angry to hear any denial of the act. Thus, I can completely understand the wrath that awaits those who do dare to deny what Christ did for us with His suffering and death.

But Jesus, as a man, always knew the love of His Father in Heaven and never gave an indication of the slightest amount of doubt regarding that love. Jesus is our ultimate example for all things, and we should never have any doubt of the Son's love for us even in the most difficult or trying of times.

May that love give you good courage and boldness today and always, for there is nothing as precious and priceless as this love that saves us even while we are still sinners.

John 1:16 And from his fulness have we all received, grace upon grace.

How blessed are we.
