Throughout the Word of God, I have found that there is but only one way to find in depth truth. . . . God hast to reveal it. . . . And the only way that He will do that is by His measure regarding how close we are to Him spiritually. In other words, how true, how deep, and how strong is our faith in Him? How greatly do our hearts center on only Him? Just to make that last sentence more clear requires many more words. In Colossians chapter 3 the opening words read . . . .
“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on the things on the earth.”
Do you know, in truth, where most minds are? Life, work, bills, kids, education, television, sports, music, hobbies, relationships, gossip, news, and just about every miscellaneous that exists while unknowingly excluding God as priority in all things. What about saved Christians? They all go to church, sing hymns, give praise, have friends, stay involved with church activities, attend Bible studies, and all things pertaining to God. Yet according to God’s own words, they know Him not. Why would He say that? Why do the saved say they love Christ without doing what he says to do? Then tell you flat out in anger with obvious dislike that they do, when in fact they do not according to Our Lord God Almighty!!
To any person that considers themselves spiritual, called, or anointed, those few words ought to strike your heart and mind with full force plainly telling you of a great need to examine your own self much deeper than you ever have before, and to do that requires that its done from God’s eyes, and not our own.
How is one to examine his own self from God’s point of view? Let Christ’s own words of scripture be your guide while asking yourself the most serious questions that will ever be asked.
Rather than give you any of my own thoughts that are worthless without our Lord as your guide, I shall simply do this His way. . .
Christ became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him. (Hebrews 5:9)
What did The Word just say? Obey! What do you do that He did not do?
Many things, just as the hundreds of millions of other Christians that as far as your concerned, can’t all be wrong. Refresh your mind on Revelation 12:9 and Luke 12:32 with much prayer.
Because you say that you love Him, do you follow His steps? (1 Peter 2:21)
What did The Word just say? Christ followed His Father’s will, and we are to have the mind of Christ. Not Sunday, and not man’s pagan holidays, but God’s holy days. In the following verses, ask yourself this, is God a liar?
Because the Lord shall be king over all the earth, (Zechariah 14:9) He is now seeking only a “little flock” (Luke 12:32) of firstfruits that are totally obedient to all that He commands, as His chosen to reign with Him as kings and priests (Rev. 5:10).
Do you know what and who a firstfruit is? I have written on that subject before. Just ask if you’re of interest for much scripture.
Is not Christ going to be King? Does not God have a little flock? Yes and yes.
“And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and keep the feast of tabernacles.” (v. 16)
Will not all man kind be expected to attend God’s feast in the soon to come kingdom of God? Or be punished if not? Yes and yes.
Now I ask you this, why do not Christians follow Christ’s examples of God’s holy days now, by choice as an overcomer who is a firstfruit, when it shall be a commanded way of life in His kingdom soon to come? You will now or later with only one difference be resurrected at the last trump when Christ returns in His one and only 2nd coming, (rapture) from your place of protection, or stay as you now are, and be in the great tribulation that is knocking so loudly because it only wants to kill and destroy. As a Christian in the great tribulation who repents, you will have lost some of your reward, but you still will meet our Lord in the clouds when He comes, “and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
What do those last words mean to you? I am curious how many will answer.
How can people claim to love and follow Christ when they do not the things that He did?
God’s little flock of firstfruits are very different than most when it comes to God. Different in a way that very few who read these words will even understand, and that is all that I will say, because from this point, God will handle the rest. Knowing God, what He sees, and what He can do, and will do is faith.
“And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even unto them shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.” (v.17-19)
Disobedience brings punishment, and God never changes.
In Revelation 2:27, 12:5, and 19:15, it is written that He shall rule them or all nations with a rod of iron! Therefore, who He is now calling must be totally submissive and spiritually minded as He is. And those who are not will have to learn the hard way through God’s punishment. And you can’t say that you were not warned through a perfect example in scripture of how God punishes for disobedience.
Yes there is a resurrection, just not in the same way that rapture is taught, meaning exactly when and who. First of all, the Bible was written only for children of God who believe, and not for the billions who don’t. So when world disasters strike with force beyond comprehension, most of the world will just deal with circumstances for what they are, while Christians are just all flipping out because they were not raptured as they were falsely taught, accepted, and believed.
In these many verses below pertaining to God’s safety and protection, please just ask yourself one question. Who is God protecting? If all saved Christians are raptured, who is in God’s place of safety?
There is 21/2 years of the Great Tribulation followed by 1 year of God's wrath. . .which is the Day of the Lord. . . prior to the only and one time 2nd coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. What you’re about to read is detailed events and how God will protect you from suffering so severe that when Jeremiah saw the vision ...."Mine eyes do fail me with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city"... (Lamentations 2:11).
ZEPHANIAH 2:1-3..."Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the Lord's anger come upon you. Seek ye the Lord, all you meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger." Hid, not secretly raptured.
PROVERBS 1:33..."But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil."
LUKE 21:36..."Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."
REVELATION 12:6, 14..."And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days." (That time equals 1, 260 days or 3 1/2 years. Think about it). Verse 14..."And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and a half a time, from the face of the serpent." (1,260 days or 3 1/2 years)
PROVERBS 3:25-26, 14:26, 18:10..."Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken."..."In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and His children shall have a place of refuge."..."The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and it is safe."
ISAIAH 26:20-21..."Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and no more cover her slain."
PSALMS 27:5..."For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernale shall he hide me; he shall set me upon a rock."
PSALMS 33:18-20..."Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield."
PSALMS 91:1-12..."He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God: in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shall not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. (wicked in the Strong's Concordance means just one that did wrong, as in not obeying the Ten Commandments) Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways."
PSALMS 4:8..."I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makes me dwell in safety."
Ask me why I write these words, and my answer will come from God in Job 32:8..."But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
So if all of you saved Christians of perfection in the eyes of God get raptured off the planet earth, I wonder who God is protecting? Missfits that are un-saved? Low lifes? Scum bellies? People like me that are so stupid to all of you heartfelt loving Christians well favored by God?
Am I bitter?? So bad that I wish death would just relieve me of my agonies along with more Christian brotherly love than I can even handle. Thank you all so much for making me to look forward to the tribulation just for something that will finally rattle your cages of pure genius passed into your minds from the prince and power of the air that God warns you all of. . . .but just another lie from God in your minds of supreme intelligence.
How much do we study with effectual and fervent prays to Him? How humble are we towards Him? And most important of all is this----> do we take His every word to heart over all of man kind’s mega doctrinal twists that have this whole world deceived exactly as He says in Revelation 12:9? When we study to show ourselves approved unto God, do we totally depend on Him as our only teacher and friend of truth?
It matters not who you talk to in these end times when it comes to God as the subject, because who ever it may be just plain knows all things, while everyone else is riddled with mistakes. In other words, man is exactly what God is not . . .which is a prideful confusion that creates a blindness, and cannot see far off. There may be many pastors that mean well, but their hearts are just not where God’s wants, needs, and expects them to be. Flat out is this, when we think that we know all things pertaining to God and His truths all through the Bible, we actually know much less than what we think because of our own hearts pride, and I am no exception.
How do we know who is real in God's eyes? We don’t, only He himself knows. I firmly believe that it is the heart of man that tells Him all, and I mean all of everything, as in 100%. He knows even our hearts intents (Heb. 4:12) better than we ourselves. He knows exactly everything that there is to know about us through our hearts that can hide nothing. Just from what you have thus far read, God is reading your heart, therefore everything is naked and opened unto Him, with nothing covered. So, always remember, there is not one single thought you have, that He is not fully aware of.
Today’s world of deception is a major truth, and the greatest deception begins right in church, and that is because Satan is so very cunning, sneaky, and the master of lies that puts whatever he wants into all the minds that he chooses. . . .after all, he is the prince and power of the air.
I only see reality as it is. Describing the world and conditions as they truly are at this very moment as your reading these words is best put . . . a disaster getting ready to happen on a massive worldwide scale. . . .but there is something most crucial that you really need to know in your own mind while understanding in your heart, and that is just who America is to God, and why the worst suffering that has ever been, or ever will be, must begin in the United States of America.
All the proof in scripture that’s needed on that subject is available and very easy to understand, but only if it is God’s will. As far as hell and all other subjects, I will just leave that between me and our Lord, also the same with any discussion that can cause something that I refuse to be a part of called division or argument with improper feelings and words toward another.
Only when true Followers of our Lord come together in one accord as the body of Christ being perfectly joined together. . . . he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. . .
Therefore, we all as one have the same spirit of Christ dwelling within our hearts.
May God Bless us all, and draw us in a closer walk with Him and each other. . . .amen
