Keep watch on JERUSALEM!

Image
Sign of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 24:15) (Mark 13:14) (Luke 21:20) (Revelation 16:16). Jesus says: “Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame” (Revelation 16:15). “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36). “When ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judæa flee to the mountains” (Mark 13:14). “And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the Kingdom of God is nigh at hand; then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:20, 31, 28). “Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is” (Mark 13:33). “Watch t...

Pray to God and give thanks and praise:

Image
The food that we eat and the water we drink all comes from God. Therefore, the least that every human being must do daily is to pray to God, and give him thanks. Now, there are many among us who may say: “I work for what is mine, and my money buys my food and water”. However, who put the food and water on this earth? God, the LORD, the Father! “IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). “For all the earth is mine” (Exodus 19:5).     “The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein” (Psalms 95:5, 24:1). “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” (James 1:17). Heavenly Father, thank you in the name of your beloved Son Jesus for your blessings and mercies this day. Amen.

Endure to the End:

Image
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2). “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son” (2 John 1:9). “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus: who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” (1 Timothy 2:5–6). Jesus says: “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). “And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved” (Matthew 10:21-22). “As long as I am in ...

Time is coming to an End (Revelation 10:6, 11:18).

Image
In the Book of Revelation John revealed, said: “And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire. And he had in his hand a little book open; and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, and sware by him that liveth forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer” (Revelation 10:1–2, 6). As we ponder this passage of Scripture, and look around this world today, let us not be misled into believing that we have time because all seems so set in place on this earth. All the countries, nations, and kingdoms of this world will become desolate and laid to waste when the earth is finally melted away (2 Peter 3:12). “For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come ...

There is no more time: The End (Revelation 10:6).

Image
In the Book of Revelation John revealed, said: “And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire. And he had in his hand a little book open; and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, and sware by him that liveth forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer” (Revelation 10:1–2, 6). As we ponder this passage of Scripture, and look around this world today, let us not be misled into believing that we have time because all seems so set in place on this earth. All the countries, nations, and kingdoms of this world will become desolate and laid to waste when the earth is finally melted away (2 Peter 3:12). “For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come do...

Repent now because if you are late there is no next Time (Revelation 10:6)!

Image
At sometime in our lifetime we have experienced being late for something: a flight; a meeting; a train or so on. The fact is that we were not on time! Notwithstanding, we were able to get the next flight, train or even possibly to arrange another meeting. We all need to be on time for the Last Day (Revelation 11:18). Now here is the catch. We must be on time in this lifetime. Unlike being able to catch another plane, train, bus, or ship, once this life is ended, there is no next time (Acts 2:38). Let us be very clear, absolutely no one knows when will be the end because Jesus says: “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36). Now therefore, while there is time today, and we are alive, we must do as Jesus says: “…repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15) because should we die before doing so, there is no other lifetime. “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebre...

From mortality to IMMORTALITY:

Image
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (John 1:1-2, 14). The Apostle Paul explained how “…God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh;...” (Romans 8:2–4). “The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. And so it is written, the first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit” (1 Corinthians 15:47–49, 45). On the Last Day, the Day of Judgment, when Jesus descends from heaven on the sound of the last trumpet, to live forever,...

The gate to Eternal Life is still open (John 3:16-18, 14:6):

Image
The day is coming when the gate will be shut forever (Revelation 22:14-15)! “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near” (Isaiah 55:6). “Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors” (Proverbs 8:34). “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; because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:13–14). “For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD” (Proverbs 8:35).

Which way to Paradise?

Image
Only one road leads to Eternal Life: all others lead to a dead end! In the traffic of this lifetime, there will be many roads travelled to many destinations. But, know this fact, there is only one road which leads to the Paradise of God (Revelation 2:7)! While this road is still here today before this heaven and earth passes away (1 Peter 21:33) (Mark 13:31) (2 Peter 3:10), get hold of the coordinates to find and stay in the right direction on this road. Who has the coordinates? JESUS, the only begotten Son of God (John 3:16-18), says: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

SALVATION (Isaiah 49:6, 52:10) (Luke 2:32) (John 3:16-18).

Image
Without any doubt Jesus is coming on the Last Day for the Day of Judgment on this earth, and before the wrath of God is pured out onto this earth, God’s holy angels extract all God’s elect from this earth (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17), “then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power” (1 Corinthians 15:24). We are to be focused every day on gathering souls for King Jesus because he says: “He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth” (Luke 11:23). “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:8-...

Redemption: What is God’s plan for human beings?

Image
Let is ALL never forget why God sent his only begotten Son, Jesus to this earth for “a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel” (Luke 2:32). “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:23-24). Jesus, our Lord, Savior and King appointed the Apostle Paul to be the apostle to the Gentiles who said: “For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office” (Romans 11:13). Paul explained God’s redemption or salvation plan for human beings when he said: “For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put d...

God only is Good:

Image
Jesus says: “There is none good but one, that is, God:” (Matthew 19:17). “TRULY God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart” (Psalm 73:1). “NOW the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer” (1 Timothy 4:1-5).

Human beings - Good Seed versus evil seed:

Image
Notwithstanding the fact that there are over 7 billion people now on this earth, since the beginning of time, through every generation, there are only two categories of people: (1) Children of God: “Children of the Highest” (Luke 17:35); “Children of Light” (John 12:16). (2) children of the devil: “children of wickedness” (2 Samuel 7:10); “children of transgression, a seed of falsehood” (Isaiah 57:4); “Children of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:2). “In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous” (1 John 3:10-12). On the Last Day, the Day of Judgment only the Good Seed will be SAVED! Jesus explains: “He that soweth the ...

Seventh Seal - Seven Angels - Seven Trumpets:

Image
This is the count down to the End! Before it is too late accept Jesus while it is still called today! Jesus comes on the sound of the Last trumpet (Matthew 24:30) (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) (1 Corinthians 15:52–55). “AND when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepare...

Day of Judgment: Good versus evil?

Image
“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God” (Romans 13:1). “Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation” (Romans 13:2). “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10). “For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son” (John 5:22). “Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; But glory, honour, a...

Good vs. Evil or Eternal Life vs. everlasting punishment?

Image
These are the key choices in our lifetime. “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good” (Proverbs 15:3).   “Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore” (Psalm 37:27). “For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death” (Proverbs 8:35-36). “They that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honor” (Proverbs 21:21).   “Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life” (1 Timothy 6:19).

LIVE:

Image
Do you know that LIVE spelt backwards is EVIL? Every human being would be wise to remember these words, and to do as the Holy Scriptures says: “Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore” (Psalm 37:27). “For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the LORD God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye” (Ezekiel 18:32). “By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil” (Proverbs 16:6). “Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil” (Proverbs 4:25-27). “The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul” ( Proverbs 16:17).

Repentance:

Image
“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the Son of man, that he should repent” (Numbers 23:19). “Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent. Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” (Acts 17:29-31). Jesus, the only begotten Son of God: “…that man whom he hath ordained…” says: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15). “…except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:5). “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me” (John 6:38). “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some...

Believe in God?

Image
To this day, many people still only say: “I believe in God.” But, it is not enough to believe in God. James, the brother of Jesus, put this into perspective when he said, “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble” (James 2:19). To believe in God we must also believe in the Word of God. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God” (John 1:1–2). “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). The Word of God, made flesh and full of grace and truth, is the only begotten Son of God: JESUS. If we do not believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, then we do not believe in the Word of God. Hence, we do not believe God. Jesus expressed to unbelievers in his time here on earth, said: “Ye are of your father the Devil, and the lusts...

God:

Image
“No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him” (John 1:18). “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” (Hebrews 11:6). “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18).

This world versus the hidden world:

Image
Every day we must do a truth checkup to ensure we are living by the truth: word of God; and not by some deception and lie disguised as truth by the prince of this world, the devil, aka Satan whose name is Lucifer. The prince of this world, the devil aka Satan, just as he uses riches, also uses beauty as a disguise to deceive the whole world because the Holy Scriptures revealed that when he was is heaven his heart was lifter up because of his beauty and brightness. “Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee” (Ezekiel 28:17). Our Lord, Savior and King Jesus knew of Satan when he revealed saying: “He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it” (John 8:44). “He said to his disciples, ‘I b...

Envy?

Image
“Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?” (Proverbs 27:4). “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit” (Isaiah 14:12-15). When the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan and his angels were cast out with him to the nether parts of the earth (Revelation 12:9), there was a great celebration in heaven; “Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. [WOE TO THE INHABITERS OF THE EARTH AND OF THE SEA FOR THE DEVIL IS COME DOWN UNTO YOU, HAVING GREAT WRATH, BECAUSE HE KNOWETH THAT HE HA...

Weeping and gnashing of teeth:

Image
Many people still have a displaced sense of reality about being in the kingdom of God; they believe that somehow being righteous and living uprightly is boring. Those with such an opinion instead express opinions such as “live your life the way you want to,” which seems to be the mantra of life for many in this present time. Going even further, many have bemoaned that there is so much going on that there is just not enough time to take it all in a lifetime. However, this belief is mistaken, misguided, and misinformed; those who think this way need to stop and re-evaluate life because in the end of time, only the meek will receive a reward of inheritance and will delight themselves in the abundance of peace (Psalm 37:11). “For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. Let him eschew evil, and do well; let him seek peace, and ensue it” (1 Peter 3:10–11). What life should we seek to live today? What...

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

Image
There will be numerous reactions to this photograph: it may be ignored; perhaps doubted or even rejected as nonsense. However, just be reminded that when Noah was building the ark, he too was ignored. Also, when Lot told his two sons in laws the night before that they had to leave Sodom and Gomorrah because it was going to be destroyed, they refused to believe him, and even mocked him. Jesus says: “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15). “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:32). “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3). Jesus also warned that his coming will be just as in the days of Noe before the great flood, and in the days of Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah. He expressed how “they did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in...

This world with Heaven and Earth will End but, there is New Heavens and a New Earth with another world without an End:

Image
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, [BY WHOM ALSO HE MADE THE WORLDS]” (Hebrews 1:1–2). “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:16-17). “For I will not contend forever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made” (Isaiah 57:16). “And in the times of this ignorance God winked at but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent. Because he hath [APPOINTED A DAY], in which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained” (Acts 17:30-31). On that APPOINTED DAY: the Last Day, the Day of Judgment, only God knows (Matthew...

O LORD:

Image
“O LORD our LORD, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Who hast set thy glory above the heavens. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high” (Psalms 8:1-9, 103:11, 7:17).

Praise the LORD, Praise the LORD and Praise the LORD:

Image
“For all the earth is mine” (Exodus 19:5).   “The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein” (Psalms 95:5, 24:1). “Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!” (Psalm 107:8). “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:” (Psalm 8:4-6). “Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. O LORD, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches” (Psalm 103:23-24).

Light of the world:

Image
Jesus says: “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:10). “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16).

Where we walk in this lifetime will determine our End:

Image
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (Romans 8:1). The Apostle Paul explained the difference between walking after the Spirit and not after the flesh, said: “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God” (Galatians 5:19–21). “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith” (Galatians 5:22). “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25). “Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but...
