Rejoice He Lives

What time is it?

noreply@blogger.com (Jim) — Sat, 06 Apr 2019 04:28:00 +0000

Soon time will not be an issue; soon it will just be NOW!

Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

Matthew 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

On Purim the Messiah was anointed by Elijah! REALLY?

Today FARRAKHAN said: I AM THE TRUE JESUS - REALLY?

You know your Bible so the anointing and Farrakhan's statement wouldn't cause you to miss a step, correct?

Good!

When our Lord comes every eye will see Him!

Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Safety in the heart of the storm!

Will you be able to see the difference between believers and non believers manifest in our physical environment as we get closer to Christ's return? YES! Look at this picture!

"Incredible drone footage shows a perfectly intact house surrounded by total devastation following the deadly Alabama tornadoes that killed 23 people".

Looking at the image of last weeks Alabama tornadoes path of total destruction you have to ask yourself why this home was not touched.

My guess is someone in this house was in direct communication with Jesus when this event occurred.

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

You must consider and decide if you want to make a choice or selection for ETERNITY!

noreply@blogger.com (Jim) — Sat, 09 Mar 2019 05:10:00 +0000

What is human life?

The multiple components of human life

Body/Flesh = Breathes and functions for approximately 0-100 years then dies, stops breathing, is buried and returns to the dust from which it came.

Mind/soul = Looks and acts like the body/flesh but is not limited by physical barriers and lives forever.

Spiritual combinations and options residing within the flesh.

Human spirit/Holy Spirit is not limited by physical barriers and lives forever. Or
Human spirit/demon spirit is not limited by physical barriers and lives forever. Or
Human spirit is not limited by physical barriers and lives forever.

Spiritual options must be considered and selected during the lifespan of the flesh. The selection made is ETERNAL... It lasts FOREVER >> ONCE THE FLESH DIES all options are closed!

Making a choice is not mandatory but is highly recommended.

We are all born in human form and in the fallen state because of Adam and Eve's sin in the garden and we are directly descendants from them.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Failure to seek out and make a selection or choice for eternity leaves you in a fallen state destined to the underworld/hell.

All are invited, but you must accept your invitation and confirm your reservation to make it into heaven? This requires making a selection or choice while in your flesh.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

I believe in Jesus, He loved me enough to lay down His life to pay for my sin then reached out His hand and offered me eternity with Him for simply believing He Lives and is the only Son of God!

He did the same for each one of us, take His hand and repent and be saved by His grace given freely as a gift.

AMEN!

The end approaches and what will you do with the time remaining?

noreply@blogger.com (Jim) — Fri, 15 Feb 2019 00:59:00 +0000

John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

The Kingdom of God is at hand; as it is in heaven so it shall be in the earth.

How much time is left? The Father says we are well into the tribulation period of the end of the age. The end of the age is here and things are going to continue to decline for those in the world.

Will you follow Jesus into the Kingdom of God or the world into destruction? Freewill leaves this choice up to each one of you.

We are blessed to have been chosen to be alive at a time such as this and the Father has some Words of instruction for His people. There is no time for boredom we have our Father's business to attend to.

Please listen up and take it up with the Lord for His personal instruction to you.

We have entered into the treasures of the snow over the past two days at our house; we have been blessed by 38 inches of new snow and it has just now started snowing again.

Job 38:22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

The Demon behind Addiction Bondage that won't let you go!

noreply@blogger.com (Jim) — Thu, 07 Feb 2019 04:51:00 +0000

Many cry out why can't I get free? God where are you? I'm stuck and I don't know why!

Bondage is the state of being a slave, held captive, or compelled by contract.

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Why would deliverance need to be preached to the captives who are asking to be set free?

Why would freedom require more than just a desire, why would an action be required?

God honors free will, He honors contracts; desired outcomes require specific steps be completed to arrive at the goal; these steps must be taught and that is why they are preached to the captives.

In the book of Acts for example a the prison guard asked what he must do to be saved he was told exactly what was required in the following verses.

Acts 16:29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

When our flesh accepts an offer for something our spirit would refuse it usually comes with a demonic contract to which our acceptance is like a signature on a written contract.

This contract gives the demon behind it authorization to access your fleshly desires any time it desires.

Examples:

Cigarette use
Alcohol use
Drug use
Legal drug use
Pornography
and the list is endless

Those who do not have a relationship with Jesus are pretty well stuck with the contract. If they try to terminate this contract they will likely have severe withdrawal symptoms and mood swings as a minimum; they will never be completely free of their bondage without Jesus.

Believers however have complete victory over the demonic forces dispatched to destroy those who belong to our Lord.

The believers steps to freedom from addiction bondage are as follows:

Abide in the Word in fellowship with Jesus to strengthen your spirit man
Fast partial days to find humility and pray in the known tongue and in the spirit
The more you focus on things of the Spirit the less influence the carnal mind will have on your activities
Jesus gave all believers His name to use against principalities and powers of darkness to overcome them
The power is in the Blood of Jesus; nothing can stand against the Blood of Jesus
Repent by turning from your sin, seeking forgiveness while calling out the demon in Jesus name; once you have identified the demon say to him as an example: cigarette demon I break my contract with you by the Blood of Jesus and rebuke you in Jesus name, depart from me never to return!
Praise the Lord for setting you free and enjoy your new walk in victory through Christ Jesus

AMEN

1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

The Prophets

noreply@blogger.com (Jim) — Mon, 28 Jan 2019 05:54:00 +0000

Prophets of God and false prophets seem to be everywhere today, how do you tell the difference?

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

In the Bible for example we have five major prophets and twelve minor prophets up until the time of John the Baptist. Major and minor does not signify importance but is determined by the size of the books they wrote that make up our Biblical Cannon.

Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

How many prophets does God have today? I have no way of knowing but if you do an internet search for prophets of God you will come up with the following results: Google 49,600,000 and on Yahoo 8,870,000.

Wow! That is a big list so how do you know which are true prophets of God and who are the false prophets?

Test the spirits.

1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

As humans all can make errors so we must check what the prophet is saying with God's Word to verify they are speaking from God and not out of their own imagination.

Other checks on character:

Are they called or self motivated?
You will know them by their fruits.
Do they accuse their brethren?
Do the gifts of the Spirit follow them?
Are they motivated by money?

If you haven't spent time getting to know your Lord by reading His Word you are in grave danger of being deceived.

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

He who claims to love God must also love his brother.

1 John 4:21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

When you are weary it's time to press in!

noreply@blogger.com (Jim) — Mon, 21 Jan 2019 00:17:00 +0000

Two years ago the Lord gave us a reprieve and a great change in direction; why? His people prayed without ceasing and He heard from heaven.

Are you still praying without ceasing for his protection, Divine wisdom, and discernment?

Is the church supporting God's call to arms? I don't think so. Ichabod

The Glory has departed!

1 Samuel 4:21 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.

For the past two days my spirit has been deeply stirred to prayer and intersession for our leaders and God's people! Something is about to change.

Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.

Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Amen!

Red Flag Warning!

noreply@blogger.com (Jim) — Tue, 15 Jan 2019 00:53:00 +0000

He stands at the door, the third seal of Revelation is open, and the signs of the end listed in Matthew 24:3-14 have all been fulfilled with the exception verse 14 which is being accomplished as I write this post.

Red flags:

Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Why do only a few find it? This is scary when you think about it and should be cause for everyone to evaluate whether or not they are abiding in Christ and watching for His return.

Romans 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

Definition of remnant. 1 a: usually small part, member, or trace remaining b: a small surviving group

Why do only a few find it?

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

The only way gain knowledge, know the Law, and know your Lord is to spend time with Him in His Word. How else can you determine what you are told or believe is true? We all need to be good Bereans.

Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Your birthright is heaven but will you strive for it? Esau sold his for food; will you trade yours for the Mark of the beast so you can eat?

Genesis 25:32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?

33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.

The Lord fed manna to millions in the desert during the Exodus why wouldn't He do the same for you?

I think the Mark may really be the final test and to avoid taking it you must be an overcomer.

Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

The Lord has been telling His people through His prophets that His return in much closer than most people realize.

Please

James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

Acts 8:22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

When you can't buy or sell you will be facing the final test

noreply@blogger.com (Jim) — Sun, 13 Jan 2019 06:41:00 +0000

The final separation of the wheat and the tares will be decided by the mark.

The tares

Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

The wheat

Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Mark 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Do not be deceived by false teachers who are saying taking the mark will be forgiven; the Scripture is clear.

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

The choice is coming sooner than many think. Now is the time to draw close to God, to abide in Him and His strength.

2019 - a safety checklist

noreply@blogger.com (Jim) — Sun, 06 Jan 2019 03:36:00 +0000

The third seal of Revelation has been opened.

Revelation 6:5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

Life sustaining goods may be limited, do you have extra on hand? Joseph stored a 7 year supply.

Genesis 41:36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.

I believe our government is now recommending 6 months supply of essential food, water, and medications.

In November 2016 I did a post about five waves of energy coming from space.

First wave hit Earth August 17, 2015 and now in 2019 we are experiencing the third wave of energy from space. This wave will continuously impact the earth throughout the entire year with ionized radiation; it began on November 9, 2018.

2019 - safety checklist of items for your awareness and personal safety.

Atmospheric radiation levels are up 19% and increasing with the influx ionized cosmic rays
Radiation is cumulative
Ionized cosmic rays travel close to the speed of light and break all types of biological DNA at it's core causing mutations
Human neurological DNA is especially susceptible to damage and may result in people going mad and being enraged
Cancer is increasing at off the charts level especially in infants
Ionized radiation changes the molecular structure of water turning it into different elements as it passes through our atmosphere; one of those elements is Arsenic and that is poisoning our drinkable water
Ionized radiation particles are stripping away parts of our atmosphere thereby removing much of our protections that we normally enjoy for this type of radiation
Our atmosphere is becoming dryer and more electrified, lighting storms will become 300 times more powerful and dangerous during 2019; straight line surface winds associated with storms could reach 200 mph because dryer air provides less resistance when compared to air containing moisture
Our thinning atmosphere has allowed the Sun to become very dangerous and exposure should be limited and with protective clothing and or sunscreen
Sink holes and cracks in the earth crust will continue to increase resulting in new earthquake prone areas

Information sources for the above listing:

Video: Breaking Space Radiation On The Rise 5 Waves of Energy (Beginning at the 1:25 mark through 2:27)

Video: Breaking: "Super Blood Moon" & Planet X (5 Waves Of Energy) MFATW (Beginning at the 16:00 mark through 56:00)

Mitigation methods you can employ to increase your safety.

Stay sheltered during thunder/electrical storms
Stay sheltered during rain storms; rain containing arsenic could burn right through your clothing and skin
Stay out of the Sun or go out when Sun is low in the sky or at night and wear protection if you have to go out during the day

Additional Mitigation methods for believers.

Psalm 91
Ephesians 6:12-18
For those baptized with fire and the Holy Spirit simply check in with the Holy Spirit before engaging in any activity planned.

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

As we get further into the final seven years your hearing the Lord's voice will become more and more important. Many of the things addressed here are things that cannot be seen or heard with the exception of the obvious. If you hear the thunder or the earth cracking you are probably in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Soon we will see Jesus face to face!!!

Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Preparation time is past; Warring Angels have been dispatched

noreply@blogger.com (Jim) — Sun, 09 Dec 2018 06:44:00 +0000

Revelation 6 the seals are opening and yes we are in the final seven years!

Revelation 6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

Did you notice the change that took place after the middle of September? Everything is escalating very rapidly; the first three seals are open. The third seal opened on December 4, 2018.

Seal one: The white horse and rider went forth conquering, and to conquer. Satanic evil has been in control of many governments throughout the world for a very long time; that is all about to change, evil has been exposed and is failing on every level.
Seal two: The red horse and rider has taken peace from the earth. Europe is in chaos and tensions are rising in the West, in Africa, and the Middle East.
Seal three: The black horse and rider with the pair of balances is indicating famine is approaching.

Preparation warnings have been issued by many for the past several years!

Prophetic Alert - Angelic Help Is On The Way 12-8-2018 Lois Vogel-Sharp

Our hope is abiding in Jesus and His divine guidance and safety. Our assignment in this battle is best accomplished through prayer without ceasing.

Love one another and put aside your differences
Get in prayer and one accord with your brothers and sisters
Rebuke evil wherever you see it
Stand fast in the power of Jesus, you are covered by the blood, by the armor He provides, and are authorized to use His name and call on the warring angels for help when needed
Pray Psalm 91 over yourself and your family

Walk in the Spirit seeking wisdom and discernment. The war has already been won but we must walk through to the end and we can only do that under His power and anointing. You need the fire baptism.

The Final Seven Years

noreply@blogger.com (Jim) — Tue, 04 Dec 2018 04:13:00 +0000

The final seven years have begun!

Most people refer to the final seven years as the tribulation period; Matthew and Mark tell us the first half is "The Beginning of Sorrows" with second half being "the Great Tribulation".

The Beginning of Sorrows

Matthew 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Mark 13:8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

The Great Tribulation

Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Revelation 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Many may be thinking am I SERIOUS? The answer is yes you have very little time to get things right with our Creator and Savior.

Can I prove it? NO, but the evidence is overwhelming that the final seven is upon us.

Scoffers will say.

2 Peter 3:2-4

2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

I am not setting dates. I am saying we are in the general time period of the last seven years based on Scripture, God's prophets, and world events.

Those with eyes to see and ears to hear know this to be true.

I base my opinion of the things stated above based on the the reading of the Holy Scripture and these observations as follows:

The study of the Bible, specifically Genesis, Daniel, and Revelation regarding the times in which we are living.
The study of Genesis and the days of Noah so I would know what to look for before Jesus Christs return. Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. These days have arrived including the promotion of cannibalism as an acceptable life style choice.
The study of the book of Daniel
The study of the book of Revelation
Specific observations
The solar eclipse on August 21, 2017; to be followed by another solar eclipse seven years later.
The Revelation 12:1-6 sign appeared in the heavens on September 23, 2017.
Israel was regathered from the nations to become their own nation 70 years ago. Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. (In my humble opinion all of Matthew 24 will be fulfilled over the next seven years, at some point in the year 2025) Note: Repentance along with fasting and prayer could impact this estimated date.
Next two based on the prophets witness from the Father
They Are Here 11-2-2018 at the 2:49 time mark of the video, 'we are in the tribulation'
Pope's One World Religion Pact (2020 - Hague Peace Palace), Changing Laws (Dan 7:25) The one world church to be formed in just over one year, where will that place your church?
Sanhedrin Invites 70 Nations To Hanukkah TO DEDICATE ALTAR FOR THE THIRD TEMPLE Note: When they start building the third temple we'll be quickly approaching the Great Tribulation and the last forty two months, three and one half years. Great Tribulation begins with the abomination of desolation standing in the Holy place and the arrival of the Two Witnesses in Jerusalem.
For a complete list of events refer to Matthew 24

The importance of the prophets

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Note: Choose your prophets wisely and prayerfully verify what they say with God's Word before acting on a prophets warning.

Matthew 7:15-17

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

Matthew 7:19-21

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

1 John 4:1-3

4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

God Himself bears witness to His Holy prophets with signs and wonders accompanying them.

Hebrews 2:4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

Based on my layman's knowledge there is no way to know exactly when the last seven years begin based on Scripture with the exception of current events of the time as described in Matthew 24 and referred to as the beginning of sorrows.

The beginning of the Great Tribulation, the second three and one half years, 42 months, time period is clearly identified. These two events mark the start. ((1) When the abomination of desolation stands in the temple as Ref. in Matt.24:15)((2) When the two witnesses arrive on location in Jerusalem as Ref. in Rev. 11:3)

Matthew 24:15 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:)

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Note: Did you notice God's elect are still here during great tribulation! Pre-tribulation and Mid-tribulation believers may find themselves at great risk because they thought they would be gone before this event and failed to spiritually prepare.

Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Approximately one third of the Bible is considered prophetic. Prophecy that has been fulfilled has been 100% accurate and I believe those approaching fulfillment will also be 100% accurate.

If you see evil approaching should you prepare and find shelter?

Proverbs 22:3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

Preparation questions:

The Bible is the Living Word of God, have you read it? God speaks to you through His Word, it's how you get to know Him and recognize His voice. Your spirit is nourished by the Word of God. Knowing the Word keeps you from falling victim to deception. Reading it daily keeps you connected to the One who knows the end from the beginning, He knows what is around the next bend in the road.
Is your name written in the Lambs Book of Life? Are you saved? Have you been baptized by immersion in water? Have you been born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit? Have you been empowered by the baptism of fire as evidenced by speaking in tongues? Luke 3:16 John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Learn more at my previous post by clicking here.
The war is raging in the spiritual and natural and if you answered in the affirmative to question 1 and 2 do you realize you have been called to battle, to take ground for the Kingdom and hold it at all cost? Do you have all of God's armor on? Ephesians 6:11-18 Do you know how to hide within the Lord's strong tower? Psalm 91
Famine and pestilences are coming are you prepared? Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. Have you stored food, water? Do you have a plan for earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, terrorism or enemy invasion? How will you protect your family, food supply, and your household during times of chaos?

The very essence of life itself is the focus of the raging battle that is ongoing and will climax with the battle of Armageddon at the end of Matthew 24.

What is at stake in this raging battle? YOUR ETERNAL DESTINATION IS AT STAKE!

Eternity compared to 70 or 80 years should be cause for your re-evaluation of your priorities.

Matthew 22:36-40 King James Version (KJV)

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Church we are to love one another, the finger pointing and doctrinal disputes need to stop and be replaced with:(one accord in prayer and supplication)

Acts 1:12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

Love and pray for your brothers and sisters and stand firm together rebuking evil wherever it is found and decreeing the Lords victory over ourselves and countries.

Come Lord Jesus!
AMEN

White Lies

noreply@blogger.com (Jim) — Wed, 28 Nov 2018 05:21:00 +0000

Lying has become so accepted in our society that you now have the choice of looking for lies by color; mainly four colors with every shade in between.

Examples

White lies are altruistic as we seek first to help others, even at some cost to ourselves.
Gray lies are partly to help others and partly to help ourselves.
Black lies are about simple and callous selfishness.
Red lies are about spite and revenge.

Sources

Churches
Government agencies
Radio and television news outlets
Media outlets of all types
Social Media
Family circles
Work groups
Healthcare systems
This list is endless so we'll stop here

How did all this become common practice and accepted as the norm?

For many it probably began with nursery rhymes or stories about Santa; these seem harmless enough but look at what it has grown into!

Lies become distorted truths through continuous repetition; mainstream news outlets for example, better known as fake news.

We are definitely living in this time period.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

As eternal beings what are the consequences of lying? Without our Messiah there would be NO HOPE! Following are His feelings about liars as expressed in His Word.

Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.

Revelation 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

As humans lying to one another is an abomination in His sight but look what happened to Ananias and his wife Sapphira when they lied to the Holy Spirit.

Acts 5 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

Some times it is the little things that count; Satan has led us all to believe little white lies are harmless fun.

It is time to turn and run from these sins, repent and seek His forgiveness and restoration while there is still time.

John 1:14 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 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

What does the Bible say about white lies? By Got Questions

Question: "What does the Bible say about white lies? Is a white lie okay if it is told to avoid hurting a person?"

Answer: We know lying is a sin (Leviticus 19:11; Proverbs 12:22). But what about those “little white lies” that involve an ever-so-slight stretching of the truth? Do the small lies matter, or are they harmless? What if telling the truth might hurt someone?

Lying is defined as “making an untrue statement with the intent to deceive.” A white lie is an untrue statement, but it is usually considered unimportant because it does not cover up a serious wrongdoing. A white lie is deceptive, but it may also be polite or diplomatic at the same time. It could be a “tactful” lie told to keep the peace in a relationship; it could be a “helpful” lie to ostensibly benefit someone else; it could be a “minor” lie to make oneself look better in some area.

Some white lies are common: lying about one’s age, for example, or the size of the fish that got away. We live in a society that conditions us to lie by telling us that, in many situations, lies are justified. The secretary “covers” for the boss who doesn’t want to be disturbed; the salesman exaggerates the qualities of his product; the job applicant pads his résumé. The reasoning is, as long as no one is hurt or the result is good, little lies are fine.

It is true that some sins bring about worse consequences than others. And it is true that telling a white lie will not have the same serious effect as, say, murdering someone. But all sins are equally offensive to God (Romans 6:23a), and there are good reasons to avoid telling white lies.

First, the belief that a white lie is “helpful” is rooted in the idea that the end justifies the means. If the lie results in a perceived “good,” then the lie was justified. However, God’s condemnation of lying in Proverbs 6:16–19 contains no exception clause. Also, who defines the “good” that results from the lie? A salesman telling white lies may sell his product—a “good” thing for him—but what about the customer who was taken advantage of?

Telling a white lie to be “tactful” or to spare someone’s feelings is also a foolish thing to do. A person who consistently lies to make people feel good will eventually be seen for what he is: a liar. Those who traffic in white lies will damage their credibility.

White lies have a way of propagating themselves. Telling more lies to cover up the original lie is standard procedure, and the lies get progressively less “white.” Trying to remember what lies were told to what person also complicates relationships and makes further lying even more likely.

Telling a white lie to benefit oneself is nothing but selfishness. When our words are motivated by the pride of life, we are falling into temptation (1 John 2:16).

Little white lies are often told to preserve the peace, as if telling the truth would in some way destroy peace. Yet the Bible presents truth and peace as existing together: “Love truth and peace” (Zechariah 8:19). Tellers of white lies believe they are speaking lies out of “love”; however, the Bible tells us to speak “the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15).

Sometimes telling the truth is not easy; in fact, it can be downright unpleasant. But we are called to be truth-tellers. Being truthful is precious to God (Proverbs 12:22); it demonstrates the fear of Lord. Furthermore, to tell the truth is not a suggestion, it is a command (Psalm 15:2; Zechariah 8:16; Ephesians 4:25). Being truthful flies in the face of Satan, the “father of lies” (John 8:44). Being truthful honors the Lord, who is the “God of truth” (Psalm 31:5, ISV).

Battle stations

noreply@blogger.com (Jim) — Mon, 26 Nov 2018 03:11:00 +0000

You have the armor of God on and you are in the battle of all time; the battle of all that is good against all that is evil, so... how are you doing?

You might say:

I'm not doing as well as I should and I can't figure out why.

I've been baptized with water unto salvation
I've been born again and received the Holy Spirit, (Resurrection Sunday)
I have the full armor of God on but I'm not gaining any hard fought ground

I feel like something is missing but I can't figure it out, any suggestions or ideas?

It looks like you have all the bases are covered except one and that is empowerment, (Pentecost Sunday), the immersion in the out pouring of the Holy Spirit.

Our victory is in Jesus but remember He has included us in His Army so that we all might participate in the victory over evil.

In Acts chapter 1 Jesus told the apostles not to depart Jerusalem until they received the promise of the Father.

Acts 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

The apostles did as the Lord instructed them and in Acts chapter 2 we see them empowered on the day of Pentecost.

Acts 2 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

This is the plan for all of God's people and it is absolutely vital in these last days.

He is Looking at our hearts - What will He see?

noreply@blogger.com (Jim) — Fri, 23 Nov 2018 06:20:00 +0000

Jesus is looking at our hearts and seeking those who are truly His.

Many seem to be missing from the churches; many churches seem to have blood on the alter and witchcraft in the sanctuary. What is going on in the secret places, those places out of the public's eye?

Jesus sees and He is not happy!

Jesus is looking for those who have these two qualities.

Matthew 22:36-40 King James Version (KJV)

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

But He is finding many behaving in this manner.

Proverbs 6:16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Folks we are His ambassadors and should be easy to spot, but are we?

2 Corinthians 5:19-21 King James Version (KJV)

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

We are here! July 2018

Isaiah 24

Impending Judgment on the Earth

Isaiah 24:23 Then the moon will be confounded and the sun ashamed,

Confounded equates to Confused according to Strong's Concordance 2659.

For thousands of years the pattern of our moon has been consistent; it has been used for celestial navigation but that all began to change in the 2011 time frame. Normal moon position should look like this in the Northern Hemisphere.

Notice light and dark sides are aligned close to vertical in all positions.

The above portion is just the tip of the iceberg.

Moons New Normal

I started this post in July and got side tracked with summer chores of falling dead trees followed by cutting and log splitting this years firewood.

Today is September 12, 2018 and things are about to get really interesting as our Lord has begun judging the wicked. We have entered a time period like no other, possibly the final seven years before His return.

Like minded people are coming together and making preparations to go behind closed doors for a short period of time. It will be just like the book of Acts as far as life style. Are you ready?

Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter your chambers and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the [Lord’s] wrath is past.

21 For behold, the Lord is coming out of His place [heaven] to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth also will disclose the blood shed upon her and will no longer cover her slain and conceal her guilt.

It's time to put away our differences and get into one accord with our Lord and:

1 Peter 4:8 Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and disregards the offenses of others].

1 John 4:12 No man has at any time [yet] seen God. But if we love one another, God abides (lives and remains) in us and His love (that love which is essentially His) is brought to completion (to its full maturity, runs its full course, is perfected) in us!

AMEN!

Is Your Church Leading You to Repentance, Salvation, and Heaven?

noreply@blogger.com (Jim) — Fri, 13 Jul 2018 05:43:00 +0000

Or does it only present a form of Godliness and tickle your ears while leading you to the Pit?

Matthew 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Do you know the Scriptures? If not how will you ever know if your church is leading you to your desired destination, Heaven?

Eternity is a long time and if you have put your faith in man and that man is spiritually blind then you are following a blind man to the Pit.

God's Word is the only source of truth, you must be familiar with the Word to discern your church's course into eternity, Heaven or Hell are the only destinations once you leave the body behind.

2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

The following are three examples of presenting the form of Godliness while straying from the Scripture.

Folks the point I'm trying to make here is church may not be what it appears to be. Know your Bible and don't follow blind men, turn away as Timothy advises and follow Jesus.

When you stand before the Lord blaming the pastor won't help your case at all, your eternal destination is totally your own responsibility. Time is short and it is your future please find the time to make correct choices and be careful who you follow.

If church leaders can be deceived then maybe you could too; make very careful choices, eternity is a long time to review your regrets for not doing your own due diligence.

A SIGN BEFOREHAND

Who is headed for the Lake of Fire, the Second Death?

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Revelation 19:20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Revelation 20:10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Revelation 20:14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Revelation 20:15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Acts 3:19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Matthew 10:32 [ Confess Christ Before Men ] “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.

Don't Be Left Behind!

2 Corinthians 5:6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord.

2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

One HEARTBEAT separates you from the Lord's Presence or The Lake of FIRE! Please choose wisely and now.

Mark 13:23 But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.

In 2008 on my way to the coffee shop I rounded a bend in the road to see our beautiful Mount Rainier, at that moment God spoke to me saying "it will blow without warning"!

I was living in Tacoma at the time and was stunned by His warning and shared it with my wife when I got home with our morning coffee. We heeded His warning and moved away from the area shortly after.

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

The prophets are speaking now regarding Mount Rainier but will any give heed?

Read the article here

A confirmation through a second prophet, listen here.

These warnings are for the Lord's remnant but are you listening? Those who choose to ignore will perish with the wicked. His warnings come so you can make plans and get out of the way, failure to heed His warnings leaves you in His target area with the wicked.

Matthew 5:45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

All prophetic Words received need to be prayed over and discerned. Be a good Berean - Acts 17:11

When the Lord speaks He wants those who are His to listen, sadly many are to busy with life in the world. Priorities need to be adjusted and that time has arrived.

Instead of adjusting priorities many will perish during the shaking but many more will begin to pay attention and will be saved as a result.

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
5 Praise Him with loud cymbals;
Praise Him with clashing cymbals!
6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

2 Thessalonians 2:9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

What would all power, signs, and lying wonders consist of? To name a few:

Visions
Prophetic utterance
Healings
Speaking in tongues
Being slain in the spirit

What would all power, signs, and lying wonders look like? These two short videos will show you a glimpse of the false Kundalini spirit in action in the church. (Lying signs and wonders)

"If you search for Kundalini and Shakti on the Internet, you will find that multitudes of people in the New Age and Eastern religions still experience these powerful manifestations. Often this is with the help of a Guru, who touches them on the forehead so that they can experience a "Kundalini Awakening"."

The Kundalini spirit has entered many churches.

In the Christian church it comes in as a false anointing from God and is presented as a touch from the Holy Ghost.

In the early 1990's it entered a church my wife and I were attending and was presented as the work of the Holy Spirit. It looked like the folks in the part two video above in our church.

Most of the congregation went forward for a touch from the Lord and things got pretty interesting.

When someone is over powered by the anointing it is often referred to as being slain in the Spirit and it is wonderful! This anointing at our church was a bit different than what we had experienced before but didn't set off any alarm bells.

We have always followed God's Words of warning given in the book of Acts to be sure and check all things received with God's Word. If you haven't studied God's Word yourself you are at great risk of being deceived.

Acts 17:10 Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.

If it doesn't line up in agreement with the Word we reject it as false.

As we began to discuss this new anointing at home before going into the Word we noted the following.

The anointing came into our church through a visiting pastor and during the service he referred to himself as the Holy Ghost bar tender. This struck us as disrespectful of our most Holy God.
Those who had fallen or been slain in the Spirit were going through many contortions and this was not normal. Normally this is a peaceful experience and not chaotic as we witnessed. People where injured during their falls if those standing behind them did not catch them and that is not normal either.

In God's Word we see people falling under the overwhelming power of God's presence and they fall face to the ground as though dead, not as pictured in the videos above.

Revelation 1:17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen.

Luke 17:15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. 17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

1 Corinthians 14:24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is convicted by all. 25 And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.

Order in Church Meetings

1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

Based on our Berean style review of God's Word we determined this to be a false spirit that had entered our church. Sadly no one wanted to hear about discerning the spirits and we became the outcasts.

Now is the time to feed your spirit on God's Word daily so you will recognize deception and avoid the wide road leading to the fire that burns forever!

Time is very short and there is no time for mistakes. Today is the day to repent and get right with your Savior. AMEN

2018 Jesus - 6 His Return Follows These Events

noreply@blogger.com (Jim) — Mon, 05 Mar 2018 03:27:00 +0000

Major events to watch for leading up to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ!

Israel started the countdown to His return when Israel became a nation 70 years ago so we know with certainty we are well into the last days.

Those alive when Israel became a nation in 1948 will not pass away before He comes!

Matthew 24:33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

When the Great Tribulation begins we will have forty two months or 1260 days remaining to our catching up to join Him at His Second Coming. Two events mark the start of Great Tribulation.

The two witnesses arrive on the world stage and begin to prophesy for 1260 days.
The man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition.

Revelation 11:2 But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. 3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” 4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth.

2 Thessalonians 2 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

The Great Tribulation

Matthew 24:15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

The Coming of the Son of Man

Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Great Tribulation is often mistakenly thought to be God's wrath; based on this error many believe they will be removed before Great Tribulation and that is simply not true.

Great Tribulation is Satan's wrath! See Great Tribulation is Not the Wrath of God for an in depth study of this truth.

God's wrath comes when the 1260 days have been completed and Jesus returns.

Nahum 1:2 [ God’s Wrath on His Enemies ] God is jealous, and the Lord avenges; The Lord avenges and is furious. The Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries, And He reserves wrath for His enemies;

Romans 1:18 [ God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness ] For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

Romans 13:4 For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.
