Are You Looking for Our Blessed Hope and Are You Ready to Stand Before the Lord?

Is Jesus Christ Your “Blessed Hope”?

“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;” -Titus 2:13 (KJV)

Are you excited about the times we are living in? Albeit, there is chaos, confusion, dangerous and perilous times all about us but above all our hope is in Jesus’ soon return to planet earth to rescue us from the wrath of God foretold and described in the Book of Revelation.

But until then, consider the current state of man: Wars and rumors of war seem to be everywhere. Wild, out of control weather is hitting hard and causing many to lose everything and some their lives. The sun is cranking out solar flares left and right from heavy-duty sunspots. Society is falling apart and with this upcoming election, lies and twisted truths are spewing forth daily. Are you ready for whatever happens next … maybe to you? A crazy flood, volcano eruption, earthquake, crazed maniac, illegal migrant gangs, etc…? Are you prepared in your heart, mind and soul – are you right with God today? This is no joke everyone, for all of us, are at risk of departing this earth for eternity each and every day.

And now our wicked demon-driven political leaders are trying to get us into another world war. But why? Greed, chaos, power and all the evil those can bring. These people are almost unhuman!

Wickedness and lawlessness are rising but Biblical truth is nevertheless unchanging in spite of all of these difficult days. Did you know that approx one-third of the Bible is about prophecy? We live in an exciting era because I fully believe we will see the rapture of the Lord’s Bride very soon. Did you ever consider that you were put here for a reason and purpose? You were born to experience the last days and to testify of your faith in Christ to others. What a glorious but yes frightening time to be alive and the Lord put you and me here for such a time as this. What are you doing for the Lord right now?

But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44- Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” -Matt 24:43-44 (ESV)

We live in a very hostile, volatile and uncertain world today. Political corruption, deceit and deception, geopolitical maneuvering, crime, wickedness, hate, a tearing down of the sanctity of marriage between only a man and a woman, sexual immorality gone crazy, and on and on it goes.  This is termed by many as ‘gloom and doom‘ and it’s frowned on to mention or teach in our family circles, at work, and yes, even in a growing majority of our Christian churches. The Bible has prophesied many woes in the days ahead, in the days prior to our Lord’s Second Coming – prior to Him coming in the clouds – Rev 19:11-16, in all His glory and then finally with His feet touching the Mt of Olives in Jerusalem – Zech 14:4. As we read and hear in the mainstream and alternative news many harsh, terrible, chaotic and confusing times are here and seem to be increasing without restraint. We must be prepared and ready, sharing the Gospel with as many as will listen.

We can rest assured that as we see these times increasing in severity and frequency with what seems like no hope, just remember that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is coming again in the clouds for those that believe in Him to save us from this world full of sin and the punishment of hell – eternal separation from Him.

He is coming again for His saints – those who have confessed Him as their Lord and Savior. Those who are watching and waiting for Him with anticipation – Heb 9:28.

Those that have kept themselves free from the stain of [recurring] sin that infects this world. Our Lord is coming for His Bride – the real born again saved men and women of His church. He is coming to catch them away (rapture) to spend eternity with Him in His home – heaven. This is our hope that will see us through the very difficult days ahead. It’s a life-giving hope but it does require something from us … and that is faith and trust that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and will be there always with you despite what you are going through.

“Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 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?” -2 Peter 3:11-12

Heaven – a glorious place one cannot even imagine (2 Cor 12:2) or comprehend. A place so absolutely wonderful that no words could possibly describe it. It’s God’s home! A place where there is no sickness, no pain, no sorrow, no tears, no wars or injustice only peace, the peace of Almighty God with His love that transcends human understanding.  Isn’t this worth waiting for and running the race for the prize at the end as the Apostle Paul has described it -1 Cor 9:24? Isn’t it worth living a holy, obedient, and pleasing life to our Creator YAHWEH God? 

As the times get worse as we can see right now, please remember to wait on our Blessed Hope who will appear just as He said He would. Are you saved today? Are you sure that when your foot steps into eternity it will be in heaven and not hell? Please I urge you with utmost encouragement and urgency to call on the name of the Lord today, believe on Him, confess your sins, proclaim that God raised Jesus from the dead (Rom 10:9-10) and then repent from the impure lifestyle you have been living and live for Him. You will be reborn [regenerated] as a brand new spiritual person.

The Rapture of the Bride of Christ Will Occur but Will You Be Taken?

To the Scoffers, Mockers and Critics: What if the ‘Rapture’ Does Occur?

Once the reality sets in … will you and yours have been taken by Christ or left behind on earth?

What will it be like after the born-again, real Bible-believing Christians known by the Lord are caught away (raptured) at some point in the, I believe, very near future? Let me first say that in this discussion the legitimacy and validity of the rapture will not be in focus and can be a topic for a future post. Albeit, it is this author’s absolute belief that the rapture will occur as described in OT and NT scripture. In review, prior to Christ’s return to earth, He will return in the clouds and gather His bride – the ‘called out’ ones – His true followers – and take them back to His house in heaven. Once this occurs the Seven Year Tribulation will start and it could occur simultaneously. Back to what will it be like, that is, after the true Christians are instantly removed from this earth in the twinkling of an eye (1 Cor 15:51-53)?

World Turmoil Now…

We know that right now the world is rapidly descending into a continuous spiral of wickedness, hate, anxiety, strife and unrest. The Middle East is on fire and wars are in process. Extreme weather is everywhere, earthquake frequency and intensity are rising, more and more volcanoes are becoming active, sinkholes opening, people hating and killing one another, riots all over, homosexuality and gay-marriage have surpassed that of Sodom and Gomorrah. America’s abortion industry is still going strong – killing innocent human beings before they are born. The world is teetering on the edge of an unparalleled global economic meltdown and on and on it goes. We are facing unprecedented calamities on a global scale; now I know some will scoff at this and that is their prerogative but for me and many others including renown Bible scholars this world is rapidly approaching the end of this age and the return of Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son.

Evil and Wickedness Now…

The evil and wickedness are bad and getting worse (but not as bad as it will get). Lawlessness is also rising fast. If you examine the pages of Scripture you will discover that these things are prophesied and will increase multi-fold once the church is gone (raptured) because the ‘restrainer’ spoke of in 2 Th 2:6-7 will be removed as well. That would mean that the world would then face the unleashed force of Satanic wickedness. Try and get your brain around that thought for a moment…

Just Before The Rapture…

It is likely that just before the rapture occurs the world will have experienced some very terrible Biblically prophesied wars devastating to Israel and to other nations. The beginnings are found in Psalm 83 – Arab/Israeli conspiracy and the Eze 38/39 or Gog/Magog war involving a Russia/Islamic led invasion against Israel. The results of this will set new standards for the world in terms of geopolitical governments, powers and geography. Israel will regain lost land amidst the aftermath of the much loss of life for the nations that come against her. A new [temporary] peace may emerge formed and fashioned by the as yet the unrevealed Antichrist – a man speaking with much intrigue and with attractive magnetic words. Many will flock to him as he will speak with much deception and deceive many. I fully believe this man is alive today; who he is I can only guess.

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” -1 Th 4:16-17 (KJV)

Five Minutes After … What Will It Be Like?

Five minutes after the rapture occurs with perhaps millions of people that have suddenly disappeared you can be sure the very next scenario to be played out will be chaos and confusion on a major scale. In the blink of an eye people from all walks of life will be gone, some of your own family members swept away – there one second and gone the next. Some church goers will be taken but most will remain; this will be overwhelming in itself. Police forces will be somewhat reduced, the military as well – some gone yet many remain. Deception will begin to prevail 2 Th 2:3-12. Chaos and confusion never seen or experienced before will begin to manifest on our streets, at work and in our homes. The calamity that will develop after the abrupt exodus of all babies, small children, and real born-again Christians will be devastating. People will not know what to do, they will look around for their [born-again Christian] loved ones but they will not find them. There will be mass confusion. Again, some will be taken and others who have stubbornly and constantly refused to accept Christ as their Savior and refused to know Him or live a holy life, after being told many times that this event would occur, will be left here … left behind. Most will be stunned that this event (the rapture) actually took place. Folks, I am writing the Gospel truth here. They aren’t politically correct and yes some will be offended but they must be said. For when they come to pass and I have failed to tell you then I will not be fulfilling my role as a watchman for the Lord.

After the initial shock of the rapture being real and many but not all Christians taken, anger and disappointment will wax strong. 

Many in the church, left behind, will be terribly angry at their pastors and elders for not telling them the truth.

I suspect countless pastors and elders, priests and bishops who also thought themselves secure in knowing Christ will be unbelievably left here. Then heartache and sorrow will kick in – shear anguish and paralyzing, incapacitating, and the disabling fear of what’s next. Tremendous doubt and anxiety – the enemy of our souls will have a field day with most people. Fear of being left alone in a abundantly wicked world will be overwhelming to many. The world will be changed and this not for the good. When the bride of Christ departs the good once imparted by their presence and prayers will leave the world with only – initially – the ungodly, the wicked, the ones who don’t know the Lord – Matt 7:21-23. But there will be hope for those left behind; salvation will be available as God’s hand is always reaching out to those that seek Him. Many will be saved in the Tribulation but it will be at a high cost.

So What Time Is It Now?

The time is ticking away friends, the hour late, prophesied events are occurring with increasing frequency and intensity, day by day, week by week. But who’s listening, who’s watching? Who’s spending quality time in prayer and quality time in reading and studying God’s word? When the rapture occurs you will not care about how much money you’ve made or how busy you were with friends, family or work. Or just business as usual, which has governed your daily life.

You will be crushed with despair in retrospect of your ungodly life or your playing with the things of God and/or your historical rejection of Christ’s free offer of salvation.

Or perhaps you thought you knew Him but lived more with one foot in the world and the other foot just ‘playing’ church. That’s being lukewarm and that will make God vomit or spew you out of His mouth. A horrifying thought to say the least! Have you been shaken by my words today? Does this make you think a little more about where you stand with the Lord? I hope so!

If you are left here you will start a new journey – a new life wrapped in very perilous times. You will now have to find Jesus Christ amidst the rising tide of an Antichrist-laden world and folks, according to God’s word, it won’t be pretty – Rev 6-19. Please above all things you do today, seek Him and repent of your sinful lifestyle and follow Him – Acts 3:19; Rom 10:9-10. He’s ready, willing, able, full of love, grace and mercy giving all of us much time to call upon Him. If you put this off until another day … that day may never come. Do this today!

World on the Brink of War? The Hour is Late – It’s Time to Get Right With God!

Do You Really Know God?

God Doesn’t Play Church but He Does Know Your Heart

“They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.” -Psalm 14:3 (KJV)

Time is growing short and it seems that this world is now on a course for destruction and the loss of many lives. All the more reason for all of us to get serious with God. The time for playing around has ended and now it’s get right time.

We live in a rapidly changing world, a world now filled with all kinds of unrest, danger, turmoil, evil and wickedness. Nations are against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms. Deception is rampant and many are being deceived and caught up in its web. Daily we read how death stalks the halls of this life and it knows not those that it takes. Suicide bombings and shootings are becoming more widespread and more frequent. The weather is nothing but over the top – severe in every form now.

Wars are occurring all over the globe – especially the one currently going on in the Ukraine. People are dying – both civilians and military! Then there’s the wars in and around Israel; missiles flying, rockets and bombs on the move and again men and women dying. Friends, the times we are living in are incredibly dangerous … it’s time to wake up and see what’s going on. Remember, Russia seems to be about ready to defend the threats posed by NATO and the West, and they have a huge arsenal of nukes. China too!

Reading, hearing and seeing of the gloom and doom news each day is saddening and very negative.  Extreme weather is attacking this earth with fervor and ferocity – floods envelope many nations and people are dying. Mega-wildfires plague America’s western states; peoples homes are being burned up by the thousands. Friends, the news is not good and when you consider all the events ramping up in light of Bible Prophecy and the last days before Christ’s return, the hour is late, very late indeed!

“The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.” -Nahum 1:3 (ESV)

As I have written many times in this blog, sin is enmity against Almighty God and results in outright rejection of Him and His laws. In fact, it’s this rejection that is destroying the earth – Jer 9:12-14.

Peoples hearts are becoming harder and harder, more callous, more indifferent to the things of God.

Mankind has and is now with rapidity turning away from the God of the Bible, yes, even in our Christian churches where people aren’t confronted with their sin, don’t know Him and have little fear of Him. Why? Because they are not being taught. People-pleasing [so-called] pastors and priests are steering many right into the depths of hell. 

You see, the sheer reality of our short life span here on earth is that we are faced with eternity every minute of every day.

There are no guarantees of one more breath or one more heartbeat. So we must be ready to meet our God at anytime; yes, the rapture of the church is coming and the terrible Tribulation times are on the way but what about today, right now; what about you, what about me? What if your name was called from God’s heavenly throne to stand before Him today? Would you be ready, would you be right with Him? Did you look forward to seeing the Lord and imagining what it will be like?

These are serious and in-your-face questions, no doubt. But really have you stopped or pressed the pause on your fast-paced life to consider them?

The people slaughtered in the nations listed above most likely didn’t know they would die on that particular day. How much more do we born-again, Bible-believing Christians need to be ready to meet the Lord? But what about those that are on a joy ride in this life – the unbelievers, the skeptics, the mockers, the profane and unholy? Perhaps some of you reading this today fall into one of those categories. Maybe you are just ‘playing’ with God and have one foot in the world and one foot in Christianity or religiosity and play Churchianity. You know who you are. Listen now, you had better get right with Almighty God before you step into eternity. And for any of us … that could be today!

As you know I speak bluntly and to the point.  I don’t beat around the bush like so many of our pulpit pleasing hirelings do concerning the things of God. Remember, loving one another also means caring enough to confront people about their sin and relationship with with Jesus Christ. Loving them also means you would want to rescue them from the gates of hell by ministering the Word of God to them. Eternity is a long time and many people today don’t care about it, don’t even think about it or are afraid to bring it into focus.

My point today is to ask you – are you right with God … right now? Almighty God is absolutely loving and kind and not wanting any to perish (2 Pet 3:9) but He also is serious: about unrepentant sin and the consequences of rejecting His Son – Jesus Christ – who He sent to pay the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. He also doesn’t play church and doesn’t even listen to insincere, artificial or fake worship (Isa 1:11-13; Amos 5:14-27).

But we must call upon Him, accept Him and profess His name. We must acknowledge our sins and repent of them daily. We must therefore live a holy dedicated life acceptable to Him. We must strive to stay on the narrow road that leads to life and not be found on the broad and wide road that leads to destruction (Matt 7). The hour is late and His coming draws nearer by the day. I have heard it said by many even non-Christians, that they feel something is about to happen that will cause great calamity upon mankind. What are you feeling?

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14- Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” -Matt 7:13-14 (KJV)

Please, I urge you to get right with God today. Do it right now; get down on your knees (if you can) and pray professing the Lord Jesus as your Savior and then confess your sin and repent of it. Follow His instructions for becoming a Christian with the verses below. If you have backslid away from God, then ask Him to forgive you and repent of your sins (lifestyle) and return into His loving arms of grace, love and mercy. Today is the day of salvation; besides we have no assurances that tomorrow will even come for any of us. Friends, eternity without God, existing in the torments and flames of hell, is a time with no ending. There are NO second chances once your life here is done … remember that each and every day!

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10- For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” -Rom 10:9-10 (KJV)
