Bible Prophecy Commentary: Birth Pains in Nature –

America was set apart by the Lord God Almighty at its inception to be a Godly nation – one that followed His word and provided a safe haven for the Jews. Now it has fallen into deep unrepentant sin. According to the Old Testament when a city or nation – like ancient Israel, Judah, Assyria, Babylon – turned against Him with wickedness, violence and idolatry, He ended up destroying them. But this did not happen unless plenty of warnings were given by Him before hand. Prophets were sent to deliver His message but most were scorned, ridiculed and some killed. Signs were displayed in nature to get the attention of the people. Most went unnoticed or not taken for why they were sent. I would challenge all who read this today to pull out their Bibles and start reading the Book of Nahum. It's only three chapters.

"The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet." -Nahum 1:3 (KJV)

"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;" -Luke 21:25 (KJV)

Consider ancient Nineveh and the prophet Jonah. After Jonah preached there the King and all the people repented in sackcloth and ashes. Subsequently, the Lord relented on His judgment. Yet approx 100 years later they returned to their sinful lifestyle and forgot about the Lord. Nahum was sent to deliver the warnings and the judgment for they would not repent and would not listen. Do you see a similarity between ancient Nineveh and America?

I do believe the severe weather we are experiencing all over America and the world – from extreme snow storms, to flooding, to earthquakes, to tornadoes (whirlwinds), volcanoes going off like never before and even dead animals washing up all over – are the Lord's signs telling us to turn back to Him. His Spirit will not always strive with man (Gen 6:3) therefore we should heed His warnings and begin to confess and repent of our sins. We desperately need the Lord in all areas of our lives. We need to turn back to Him and seek His face. Folks, the time is short. Calamities are ramping up in intensity and frequency – Matt 24, Mark 13, Luke 17 and 21.

Please consider these things carefully. Read the scriptures and find out what God has done with people and nations that are continually unfaithful (Eze 14). Please remember, that we serve a God that cannot tolerate sin and a God that is a jealous God. Also remember that He is God and we are not – Isa 42:8, 45:5, Isa 55:8.

"For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:" -Ex 34:1 (KJV)

Lawlessness Intensifying in America – Prepare to Protect Yourself

Posted on by February 2, 2016

The following article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. His articles are spot on and his relentless research gives us a glimpse of what clearly may happen in the days ahead. I challenge you to read his article below carefully and then consider exactly what he is saying. Then turn to your Bible and consider how Bible Prophecy is a warning to the clear and present danger America and the rest of the world is facing right now. The days ahead will present many problems and heartaches for the people of earth; if you have not prepared in your heart, mind and soul in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then in your troubles you may not find any comfort.

Los Angeles Police Urge Residents ‘To Protect Themselves’ As Violent Crime Skyrockets

By Michael Snyder, on February 1st, 2016

All over America, rates of violent crime are absolutely soaring.  As you will see below, violent crime overall shot up by 20 percent in Los Angeles last year, and the police are telling people that “they need to be able to protect themselves” because the police may not be able to get there in time when they call.  Thanks to deep budget cuts, police departments across the nation are already severely undermanned, and our major cities are now seeing crime rates increase at a pace that we have not seen in ages.  In a previous article, I encouraged my readers to focus on the five basics of preparation – food, water, shelter, energy and self-defense.  Of those five, it is often self-defense that is the most neglected.  When bad people break into your house in the middle of the night intending to do bad things, what are you going to do?  Many of us have not had to think about that for a long time, but now conditions are rapidly changing in America.

If you don’t believe me, perhaps you will believe the head of the union for the LAPD.  According to him, people living in L.A. “need to be able to protect themselves” because the police “can’t guarantee we’re going to get there in time to help you”…

“The citizens need to know they need to be able to protect themselves because if they call 911, we can’t guarantee we’re going to get there in time to help you,” says Police Protective League President Jamie McBride.

He told Paige that Thursday morning between 5:30 and 10 a.m., there were just three patrol cars assigned to the West LA division. Two cars to protect more than 200,000 people in a 65 square mile radius.

“West Los Angeles, at the minimum, should have seven patrol units, two-man units working,” McBride said.

Have you ever been to Los Angeles?

I have, and even in the best of times it can be quite a mean place.

And of course these are not the best of times.  In fact, the overall rate of violent crime in the city was up by 20 percent last year…

Crime is up across the board in the nation’s second-largest city.

Statistics released Wednesday by the Los Angeles Police Department show that homicides and rapes are each up 9 percent and that robberies are up 13 percent. Violent crime overall increased by 20 percent.

Perhaps you are tempted to think that L.A. is just an anomaly.

Well, let’s go from the second largest city in the country to the third largest city in the country.

There were 51 homicides in Chicago last month, which was the highest total for the city in at least 16 years.  Sadly, this is just a continuation of a trend that has been going on for quite some time.  The following comes from USA Today…

Chicago routinely records more homicides annually than any other American city, but the grim January violence toll marks a shocking spike in violence in a city that recorded 29 murders for the month of January last year and 20 murders for the month in 2014. In addition to the jump in killings, police department said that it recorded 241 shooting incidents for the month, more than double the 119 incidents recorded last January.

The rise in violence comes after the Chicago Police Department reported 468 murders in 2015, a 12.5% increase from the year before. There were also 2,900 shootings, 13% more than the year prior, according to police department records.

Some of the crimes that I have been seeing in the news lately are almost too horrible for words.  If reading about acts of violence deeply troubles you, then you might want to stop reading this article right now.  I want to share with you something that recently happened in New York City, and it is the kind of stuff that nightmares are made out of…

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio on Sunday denounced the rape of a woman by five men at a Brooklyn playground, pledging police would work to swiftly apprehend the suspects in “this vicious crime.”

Police said on Saturday the men took turns raping the 18-year-old woman at the playground operated by the New York City Parks Department in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn just after 9 p.m. on Thursday. One man pointed a gun at the father and told him to leave, police said.

After the father left, the men each assaulted the woman, police said. They fled when her father returned a short while later, accompanied by two officers.

One rapist is bad enough, but how do five young men come together and decide that they are going to randomly rape someone?

To do something so despicable your heart has got to be hard as a stone.

What in the world has happened to the morality of our society?

And to me, one of the biggest questions of this entire story is why the father decided to walk away from his daughter.

If I was in the same position, I would have stood my ground.  Maybe those young men would have shot me, but there is no way that I would have ever let them have my daughter.  They would have had to go over my dead body to get to her.

But this is what we are told to do today.  We are told to let the criminals do whatever they want and then call the police.

Unfortunately, now the police are openly telling us that they probably won’t be able to get there in time to do any good.

As the economy slows down, crime rates are going to go even higher.  When unemployment and poverty rise, people get desperate, and desperate people do desperate things.

We all need to start thinking about how we are going to protect ourselves and our families during the hard times that are coming.  Different people have different methods that they prefer, and that is okay.  But we are all going to have to start taking security a lot more seriously.

The Righteous or the Wicked – Which One Are You?

Posted on by January 31, 2016

These two terms should be of paramount importance to you as a Christian or even if you are not. According to the Bible – the word given to us by Almighty God – there are only two types of people in God's eyes – the righteous or Godly and the wicked or ungodly. It is crystal clear that God does not have any middle ground (or leeway) in which a professed Christian has in determining if in fact they are really a Christian. You cannot be a fence sitter in your faith; you cannot be lukewarm for we know and it is written that if you are God will vomit you out of His mouth – Rev 3:16.

These are cold hard Biblical facts folks – truths represented for us and written to us in scripture. But let me ask where do you hear them today? At your church perhaps…?

THE WICKED-

Today's churches are all about not offending, their 'religious' leaders walk on egg shells, if you will, concerning the perceived 'negativity' found in scripture. They avoid talking about these truths like the plague. 

"Western Christianity has taken God's truth of the righteous and the wicked and distorted, twisted, and mangled it into a muddied, vague and innocuous doctrine intentionally not preached or spoken of. Something not worthy to be taught from the pulpit, purposely hidden from discussion or preaching, and swept under the church carpet for fear that people would be offended if they were told such things" -Phil Allen

You see the wicked will not enter into His rest for they have not esteemed God's only begotten Son – Jesus Christ – as their Lord and Savior. They have rejected Him and His word. Many live in denial of God, their rebellion against the things of God, they don't know Him, they don't serve Him, they don't pray and seek His face, they don't repent, they blaspheme Christ and by these things they are wicked. Even professing "Christians" are in the wicked camp for their lifestyles are unholy and full of filth with the stain of unrepentant sin as red as scarlet.

Don't be deceived for some think they are righteous by their deeds, etc but in effect because of their rejection of Godly truths and lack of living a holy life defined by God in His word, they are classified among the wicked. Yes, strong truths but … where do you hear them today?

"Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not." -Mal 3:18 (KJV)

 

THE RIGHTEOUS-

Now for the righteous… Yes, we sin and will continue to sin until the Lord comes but until then we must continue to ask for forgiveness from our sin (1 John 1:8-10) and then sincerely repent (Luke 13:3; Acts 3:19; 17:30).We must not make repeating sin a practice. We must also "strive" to enter the strait gate – Luke 13:24, for many will try to enter but won't be able to.

God's word says there are only two kinds of people in His eyes: those that follow Him and live a Godly life and those that don't and therefore are of the wicked. 

Did you read that correctly? Life a Godly life! What does that mean?

** No swearing, cheating, lying. No stealing, idolizing, no idols, no other gods, no slandering, no hating, no compromising with the world., no wavering, no fear of man or this world or sexual impurity or sexual immorality. You get the idea.

** Reading your Bible daily, praying daily, seeking the face of the Lord daily, being steadfast in your faith. Loving others. Looking out for the interests of others. Avoid marginalizing others in thinking you are always right.  Witnessing and sharing your faith. Living in holiness before the eyes of Christ. Seeking the will of the Lord in your life. And more…

Here's two simple Godly life test questions for you: (1) How often to you get alone with God & pray seeking His face? (2) How often do you read your Bible?

Luke 13:24-25 tells us to strive, in other words, to struggle, fight, labor, to enter through the narrow gate via the narrow way. You see the Christian life requires work!  Daily work but our strength is in Christ. Remember that!  And then and equally important, the Apostle Paul has said in 2 Cor 13:5, that we are to examine our faith, test ourselves to see if Christ is really in us. Why?  To see if we are really a Christian living a righteous life.

"Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD." -Jer 9:23-24 (KJV)

Some think that their church attendance, denominational membership or affiliation, likability, strict adherence to the traditions of men are the means by which they will enter heaven. This is a false and misleading doctrine that has infected the majority of our churches today. Many that sit in the pews regularly are of the wicked and many will not escape the things (Luke 21:36) to come because thy have not taken God seriously and live an overt and blatant sin-ridden unrepentant life – one in which they care little about what God thinks in what they watch, read and do.

Some think that just living a good life and doing good things will usher them into heaven when they depart this earth. Not true! Only God's grace and faith in Him will get you into heaven – Eph 2:8-9. Yes, we are made righteous when we become saved but we must continue living a holy life for only by holiness will we be allowed entry into His kingdom -Heb 12:14. This is living a righteous life before His eyes. On the other hand, the wicked will be destroyed – Psa 145:20.  In today's society the corruption, wickedness, lawlessness, and rejection of Christ has increased many fold and so out of the many that have been called only a few will be chosen – Matt 22:14.

Hearing these words can be tough. But these are true words. Please if you don't believe me then search the scriptures and see if what I have said here is NOT true. Prove me wrong or find errors, be a Berean – Acts 17:11. We live in a time where it's time to get serious about our relationship with God, it's time to wake up from our slumber. It's time to get off our high horses and humble ourselves before the Lord and Savior of our souls. Time is running out – the last days before Christ's return are here. 

Are you saved friend?

If not, seek Him, confess and repent of your sin – follow His instructions for salvation found in Romans 10:9-10. Our hope, joy and strength come only from Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen!

"The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth." -Psa 11:5 (KJV)
