Throne of GOD and of the LAMB (Revelation 22:3-4).

Image
“The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all” (Psalm 103:19). “The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men” (Psalm 11:4). “I WILL lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore” (Psalm 121:1-8).

Our FATHER, and his only begotten Son, JESUS who sits at his right hand are in HEAVEN (Psalm 110:1).

Image
“God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God” (Psalm 62:11). “So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me” (Hebrews 13:6). “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).

GOD, the LORD, the FATHER is the ONLY POWER.

Image
GOD, the LORD, the FATHER is the ONLY POWER. Therefore, we fear no one or nothing but the LORD. “Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name” (Jeremiah 33:2). “Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD” (Psalm 35:11). “The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate” (Proverbs 7:13). “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding” (Proverbs 9:10). “The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil” (Proverbs 19:23). “By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil” (Proverbs 16:6). “The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death” (Proverbs 14:27). “Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hop...

Just B E L I E V E.

These words are very well known and even memorized by many people. But, are these words truly believed? We must read these words very slowly and stitched them in our hearts. “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). Jesus, the only begotten Son of God says: “[MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE], and I know them, and they follow me. [AND I GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE; AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH], neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand” (John 10:27-28). “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that [BELIEVETH IN ME], though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and [BELIEVE...

LOVERS of GOD with Longsuffering or lovers of pleasures in the world.

Image
Let us recall the Apostle Paul said: “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, [LOVERS OF PLEASURES MORE THAN LOVERS OF GOD]; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away” (2 Timothy 3:1–5). “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58). “For I reckon that the [SUFFERINGS OF THIS PRESENT TIME] are not worthy to be [COMPARED WITH THE GLORY] which shall be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18). “[WHEN CHRIST, WHO IS OUR LIFE, SHALL APPEAR, THEN SHALL YE ALSO APPEAR WITH HIM IN GLORY]” (Colossians 3:4). “Put on the...

P A R A D I S E or Perdition.

Image
On the Last Day, the Day of Judgment will be the End of the World. There will be only two outcomes on that day: PARADISE: Going home to HEAVEN to be with GOD and JESUS where there is peace forever. Perdition: Going into the lake of fire with the devil and his angels where there will be torment forever. “The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath” (Proverbs 15:24). “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:17).

This earth is a DEAD END.

Image
This photograph may be rejected by untold numbers of people; while many others may not know what to think of it; however, we in the Kingdom of God know it to be true because the word of God says: “Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed. But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end” (Psalm 102:25-27). “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:17).

Follow JESUS CHRIST: Do not look back on this world.

Image
“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.   For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:2–3). “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Revelation 1:18). “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last” (Revelation 22:13). “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Revelation 22:16-21).

B E L I E V E the word of GOD: B E L I E V E in J E S U S.

The word of God is   T R U T H! “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” (John 3:16). When the GREAT PERIOD of TRIBULATION comes upon this earth, should we be alive we must KEEP the FAITH: BELIEVE the word of GOD: “…BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH…” JESUS, the only begotten Son of God says: “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. [BUT THERE SHALL NOT AN HAIR OF YOUR HEAD PERISH]. In your patience possess ye your souls” (Luke 21:17). “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28). “Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life” (Revelation 2:10...

GREAT TRIBULATION.

Image
These two words trigger fear in untold numbers of people; and many have found comfort in the belief that they will escape this period in the so called “rapture”. But, what does our Lord, Savior and King Jesus say: “[WHEN YE THEREFORE SHALL SEE THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION], spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)” (Matthew 24:15). “And [WHEN YE SHALL SEE JERUSALEM COMPASSED WITH ARMIES], then know that the desolation thereof is nigh” (Luke 21:20) “THEN LET THEM WHICH BE IN JUDÆA FLEE INTO THE MOUNTAINS” (Matthew 24:16). “And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter” (Mark 13:16). “[FOR THEN SHALL BE GREAT TRIBULATION], such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be” (Matthew 24:21). “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed...

Great tribulation (Matthew 24:21), Antichrist (1 John 2:18), Six hundred threescore and six (Revelation 13:18), Mark of the beast (Revelation 16:2) are words that bring fear and fearfulness into untold numbers of people. There is no reason to fear because we trust in GOD. “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah” (Psalm 46:10-11). “The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe” (Proverbs 29:25). “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews 11:31). “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry” (Hebrews 11:35-37).

The END is the E N D OF THE WORLD.

Image
Our end is near; our days are fulfilled, for indeed the end is coming one day (Acts 17:30-31). However, Jesus says: “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36). While there is still time, do as Jesus says: “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15).   “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:14). “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3). “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35). “For surely there is an end” (Proverbs 23:18).

GOD’s S A L V A T I O N: Everlasting Covenant was FIRST to the JEWS then to GENTILES.

Image
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance” (Psalm 33:12). “Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.   He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;   Even of the [COVENANT WHICH HE MADE WITH ABRAHAM, AND OF HIS OATH UNTO ISAAC; AND HATH CONFIRMED THE SAME TO JACOB FOR A LAW, AND TO ISRAEL FOR AN EVERLASTING COVENANT]” (1 Chronicles 16:10-17). God chose the people of Israel for his inheritance, and sent his only begotten Son Jesus to this earth to both Jews and Gentiles, as it is written: “Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a...

Jesus 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 13:3). “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me” (John 6:38). “For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:21-24).

E T E R N A L JUDGMENT: Blessed or cursed?

Image
At the end of the Day of Judgment on the Last Day when Jesus returns at the End of the world, Judgment will be FINAL! Before it is too late, if not already done so, Jesus says: “Repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15). What many people fail to realize is the date of the End of the world is not important because only God knows (Matthew 24:36). However, we are commanded by God to repent because we only have this lifetime (Acts 17:30-31). Should we die before the end, there will be no other time to repent; “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). “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” (2 Peter 3:9). On the day that Jesus returns he explained in detail the events of that day when he will gather all nations before him and spearte the sheep on his right hand, and the goats ...

E T E R N A L L I F E versus LIFETIME.

Image
Who among us wouldn’t desire to live forever? We can all live forever: God has given to us all the promise of SALVATION through his only begotten Son. “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). “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the Son of man, that he should repent” (Numbers 23:19). “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where 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...

ALWAYS do G O O D.

The Holy Scriptures says: “Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it” (Psalm 34:14). Jesus says: “Ye have heard that it hath been said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:’ But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also” (Matthew 5:38-39). The Apostle Paul said: “Abstain from all appearance of evil” (1 Thessalonians 5:22). “Recompense to no man evil for evil” (Romans 12:17). “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:19-21). Our Lord Jesus also says: “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefull...

Who will inherit the KINGDOM OF GOD?

Image
The Apostle Paul said: “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). Paul also explained, 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). “So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 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 if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live” (Romans...

GOSPEL OF GOD and CHRIST.

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 many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 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. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds” (2 John 1:7, 9-11). “Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it” (Psalm 34:14). “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” (Proverbs 4:23). Jesus says: “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called t...

GOD of Peace and Gospel of Peace.

Image
We must live every day in peace and to do as Paul said: “Abstain from all appearance of evil” (1 Thessalonians 5:22). “Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men” (Romans 12:17-18). “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the [GOSPEL OF PEACE]; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesians 6:13-17). “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Th...

Our TREASURES are in H E A V E N.

Image
Jesus says: “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:19-21). “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” (Proverbs 4:23). 

Seek GOD.

Image
“Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore: (Psalm 105:4). “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). To see and be with God we must believe in his only begotten Son. “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). “For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honour...

KNOWLEDGE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Image
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16). “For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright” (Psalm 11:7). “The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness” (Jeremiah 4:2). “The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever” (Psalm 37:18). The righteous will flourish as the palm tree (Psalm 92:12). When time ends, “Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven” (Psalm 85:11).

KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.

Image
“Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read” (Isaiah 34:16). “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:3-4). “Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God:..” (1 Corrinthians 15:34). “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).

REDEMPTION of the KINGDOM OF GOD is on the LAST DAY.

Image
Jesus says: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). “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]” (John 6:44). “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt” (Daniel 12:2). “Behold, I shew you [A MYSTERY]; WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, but we [SHALL ALL BE CHANGED]” (1 Corinthians 15:51). “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the [LAST TRUMP]: for the [TRUMPET SHALL SOUND], and the [DEAD SHALL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE, AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED]. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality” (1 Corinthians 15:52–53). “[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 s...

Be READY for the DAY OF JUDGMENT! DO NOT BE DECIVED into believing that there is any guaranteed automatic entry into heaven (Revelation 11:18)! Our Lord Jesus is very clear when he asks: “Nevertheless when the Son of man [COMETH], shall he [FIND FAITH ON THE EARTH]?” (Luke 18:8). “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]” (John 6:44). “But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the [DAY OF JUDGMENT]. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned” (Matthew 12:36-37). “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the [DAY OF JUDGMENT]: because as he is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). The Apostle Paul reminded us when he said: “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling that ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the [DAY ...

“For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens” (Psalm 96:4–5). “Is there a God beside me? ‘Yea, there is no God; I know not any’” (Isaiah 44:8). “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” Genesis 2:7). “I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me. Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker” (Isaiah 45:5, 9). “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the Son of man, that he should repent” (Numbers 23:19). “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where 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 17:30-31). “For God so l...

God, the FATHER; the Father of Lights and the Father of Spirits (James 1:17) (Hebrews 12:9). How can anyone NOT love God? After all, our very existence is because of God. “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7). “Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?” (Jeremiah 23:23).  “If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; all flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust” (Job 34:14-15). “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27). . “I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures” (Proverbs 8:17, 21). “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are orda...

“NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). “For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it” (Romans 8:24-25). “For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead” (Romans 1:17, 20). “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:18). “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens” (2 Corinthians 5:1). “Ther...
