Is Almighty God Our Enemy?

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 05:30:00 +0000

Beloved, passing through trials and adversities, it might seem to some that Almighty God is our enemy and that He doesn't care. Oh Beloved, this could not be further from the truth! Satan the slanderer loves it when we are deceived into thinking and believing this. But by faith in Almighty God and His Word, we can defeat this strategy of the enemy of our souls (John 17:17, Eph. 6:10-20! The Bible states: "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?" (1 John 5:4,5).

The victory is gained when a person puts his or her faith and trust in the UNCHANGEABLE RIGHTEOUS Person of Almighty God! As believers in Christ, we can by faith get through the adversity and calamity that comes our way, knowing that God indeed loves us and has a plan to make us winners, not losers. Listen to this promise: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:26). God has a wonderful plan for you!

In these last days, may we be strong and of good courage and have faith in Almighty God. May we see - with the eyes of faith - past this physical world into the very throne room of Heaven, and be more than a Conqueror in Christ.

'Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place" (2 Cor. 2:14).

Remember, Beloved: "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you [i.e., Christ], than he that is in the world" [i.e., Satan and his minions] (1 John 4:4).

As we wait for His soon coming, looking into God’s Holy Word, the Bible repeatedly speaks of His great love for us. God's love, as defined therein, wants only the highest and best for the object of His love. The highest and best is the person of God and His will and way for each individual. God, who is infinite, gives all of His ETERNAL Person to finite man.

David stated: "What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour" (Psalm 8:4,5),

"Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered" (Psalm 40:5).

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:35-39),

"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).

Now... God speed unto VICTORY!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Is There Life on Other Planets?

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 04:00:00 +0000

1.) The Bible does not specifically address the question of life on other planets. But the Scriptures do tell us enough for us to come up with a solid and sound answer.

2.) It is an indisputable Biblical fact that out of all the planets in the universe, the earth is given preeminence and priority. The earth was created first (on Day 1 of the Creation week, Genesis 1:1-2), and contrary to evolutionary theory, the earth existed before the sun, moon and stars, which were all created on Day 4 of the Creation week (Genesis 1:14-19). To the unbiased reader, this indicates that there was something very special about the earth.

3.) God tells us why He formed the earth. He formed it for a purpose: "For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD, and there is none else" (Isaiah 45:18). "The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath He given to the children of men" (Psalm 115:16). The Bible clearly teaches that the earth was formed to be inhabited by people and other living creatures. The earth, sea and skies are teeming with life!

4.) The only life recognized in the Scriptures is human life, plant life, animal life and angelic life (which would include the holy angels and the fallen angels or demons). There is no mention of extraterrestrial life beyond these categories.

There has been a debate as to whether plants are technically alive in the full Biblical sense. Consider the following from an article on the Creation Ministries International website: We have long pointed out that biblical ‘death’ can only apply to those things that were alive in the first place! As far as the Bible is concerned, plants are not ‘alive.’ In the Old Testament, vertebrate animals are described by the Hebrew phrase nephesh chayyāh (נפשׁ חיה), translated as “living creature”, or in the case of man, “living soul” (2:7). But it’s notable that plants are never described this way. And they don’t die but “wither” (Psalm37:2). Instead, plants are God’s self-replicating solar-powered food factories, which also act as solar energy concentrators. See http://creation.com/r-c-sproul-jr-plant-death

5.) God tells us why He made the heavenly bodies: "Let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so" (Genesis 1:14-15). All of this is for the advantage of those dwelling on the earth. Nowhere in these verses does it state that the purpose of the heavenly bodies was to provide a home for extraterrestrial life. Instead, the heavenly bodies were created to serve useful functions for those living on earth.

6.) Why do so many people believe in life on other planets? It is mainly because they have been heavily influenced by evolutionary theory. Evolution suggests that if life evolved on our planet, then life certainly could evolve elsewhere in our universe. There must be an innumerable number of planets in the universe, and among these there must be many that have conditions favorable to life, conditions similar to what is found on planet Earth. According to evolutionary theory, if conditions are favorable for life, then life will spring forth (almost of necessity!). Life will evolve from non-life. Life will spontaneously generate from lifeless chemicals by chance. And even though the odds against it happening are great, it will happen anyway, just like it happened on Earth. According to evolutionary thinking, even though it is very unlikely and nearly impossible that life can come from non-life, yet if you have enough time (billions of years), then anything is possible. Blind chance + time + favorable conditions = LIFE. According to evolutionary theory, a creation is not needed. All you need is time and unguided natural processes and favorable conditions, and life will automatically evolve from non-life. It will just happen! With enough time and with enough luck, anything can happen!
,

According to evolutionary theory, if conditions are favorable for life, then life will spring forth (almost of necessity!). Life will evolve from non-life. Life will spontaneously generate from lifeless chemicals by chance.

Not too many centuries ago people believed in spontaneous generation. Typically, the idea was that certain life forms such as fleas could arise from inanimate matter such as dust, or that maggots could arise from dead flesh. This erroneous notion was put to rest by the experiments of Louis Pasteur in 1862. However, evolutionists still teach that life originally came from non-life. How life could originate from non-life is one of the biggest problems facing the evolutionists because there is no evidence that this has ever happened or that it could happen. Some evolutionists, including Richard Dawkins (as documented in the film Expelled) have even suggested that life may have been seeded on Earth by aliens. In similar fashion, in 1973 the late Nobel prize-winning British molecular biologist, physicist and neuroscientist Professor Francis Crick, along with British chemist Leslie Orgel, proposed the theory of directed panspermia [the intentional spreading of the seeds of life to other planets by an advanced extraterrestrial civilization]. But what Dawkins and Crick never answer is where these aliens originated from. They just push the problem further back.
,
The Creation model recognizes that life can only come from life, and that the origin of life cannot be explained by natural processes, but can only be explained by Creation. In other words, there is life on planet Earth only because the first life forms were created by an Almighty Creator. According to the Creation model, favorable conditions on a distant planet are not enough. In order to have life on any planet, that life must be created. Life doesn't just happen and life does not come from nonlife. Only God can create life. Life does not arise from nonliving material. Cellular life can only originate by way of creation.
,

The Creation model recognizes that life can only come from life, and that the origin of life cannot be explained by natural processes, but can only be explained by Creation.

John G. Hartnett explains the problem facing evolutionists: "The probability of life arising by chance from a pile of chemicals has been calculated by various people as an impossibility even given all the atoms in the known universe representing experiments over the alleged 13.8 billion years since the supposed big bang. Even if you shuffled all those atoms, or even started with them in the form of the required biomolecules and randomly shuffled them, you would not get life. Many researchers have admitted the problem. Life could only arise through a super-intelligence creating it; it would not ‘evolve’ anywhere" [Life on Earth 2.0—Really?, article found on creation.com website]

If there is life on other planets, then that life is there only because of creation, not evolution. However, there is no indication from the Scriptures or from empirical observation that such life exists elsewhere in our universe. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is the collective name for scientific activities undertaken to search for intelligent extraterrestrial life. For example, electromagnetic radiation is monitored for signs of transmissions from civilizations living on other worlds. Scientific investigation of this potential phenomenon began shortly after the advent of radio in the early 1900s. Focused international efforts to answer a variety of scientific questions have been going on since the 1980s. More recently, Stephen Hawking, a British physicist, and Yuri Milner, a Russian billionaire, along with the SETI Institute, announced a well-funded effort, called the Breakthrough Initiatives, to expand efforts to search for extraterrestrial life. All of these efforts have been in vain. No evidence of extraterrestrial life has been found.

7.) People also believe in life on other planets because the media has predisposed America and the world to this belief. For more than seventy years, we have been saturated with movies and television programs which feature aliens. These have been a major part of America's entertainment diet. Here are just some of the movies and television shows which feature extraterrestrial life: 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Abyss, Alien Abduction, The Andromeda Strain, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Cowboys & Aliens, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Independence Day, Lost in Space, all the Superman movies and TV shows, Men in Black, all the Star Trek movies and TV shows, all the Star Wars movies, The War of the Worlds, The X Files, etc. For a more complete listing, see;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_featuring_extraterrestrials

The viewing audience would recognize any of these movies as fictional. However, most would say that these movies are based on reality, and that reality is that somewhere out there are intelligent life forms on other planets. And even though we have never encountered such creatures, most believe that they are there and that it's only a matter of time before we meet them, and hopefully they will be friendly!

8.) Another major influence in the development of an extraterrestrial mindset is the numerous accounts of UFO sightings and even UFO abductions. Yet to date there has never been any sighting or abduction which has been so well documented (by photos, eyewitnesses, physical evidence, etc.) as to convince everyone. No one doubts that the Titanic sank in the Atlantic or that the terrorist attack on 9/11 took place because the evidence is indisputable. UFO believers have never been able to produce this kind of indisputable evidence.
Creation Ministries International has a wealth of material answering almost every question about UFOs. The following link is a good place to start:

http://creation.com/alien-life-ufo-questions-and-answers
n

9.) After this age has run its course, the next age, the Kingdom Age, will be ushered in. Scores of Bible passages make it very clear that the Messiah, Jesus Christ the Son of God, will be the exalted King during that time, and will reign from His Davidic throne in Jerusalem (Isaiah 2:1-4; Isaiah 9:6-7; Jeremiah 2:15-16; Luke 1:31-33). His reign will be on this earth, and not on any other planet. During the Kingdom Age, the earth is given preeminence and priority, and there is not the slightest hint that any other planet or any other intelligent life forms are involved.

10.) The total destruction of the earth and the universe is predicted in the Scriptures in such passages as 2 Peter chapter 3, Matthew 24:35 and Revelation 20:11. In these end-of-the-world prophesies, the earth is given preeminence and priority. It is the earth that "shall be burned up" (2 Peter 3:10) in a cataclysmic destruction by fire. The universe also will be destroyed (2 Peter 3:10-12; Matthew 24:35; Revelation 20:11), but no other planets are mentioned or singled out by name, just the earth. This destruction will be followed by the creation of the new heavens and the new earth, a new universe uniquely prepared for eternity (Revelation 21:1; 2 Peter 3:13). Again, the earth plays a major role in God's prophetic drama, and no other planets are mentioned.

Dear Friend, The Creator of this universe, the Almighty One, paid a visit to this planet two thousand years ago. "But when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth His Son" (Galatians 4:4). "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:14). "And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world" (1 John 4:14). "This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners" (1 Timothy 1:15). This is the visit from outer space that we need to concern ourselves with.

The tragedy is that so many people believe in aliens, but they don't believe in the Son of God who came to bring them salvation and ETERNAL life!

Jesus Christ died on the cross and paid the penalty for our sins. "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust (the Righteous One for the unrighteous ones), that He might bring us to God" (1 Peter 3:18). And after His victorious and finished work on the cross He rose again from the dead and "passed into the heavens" (Hebrews 4:14). The tragedy is that so many people believe in aliens but they don't believe in the Son of God who came to bring them salvation and eternal life: "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life" (1 John 5:11-12). Choose life today! "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31).

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Master of Puppets Pulling the Strings

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 01:30:00 +0000

Lucifer, the "Master Politician" and "Original Fascist", knows all too well how the "game" is to be played. He has been practicing his demonic tactics and observing humanity for 6000 years (John 8:44). He has been patiently waiting for the precise moment to bring forth his master plan and global godless unity. Lucifer's evil genius and perverted perception give him the tactical insight to pull the strings of humanity and to move them along to serve his godless purpose and eventually achieve his master design. That plan is the global worship of himself (2 Thess. 2:3-4; Rev. 13:4, 8, 12) and a delusional final angelic and human global war and victory against Almighty God (Dan. 7:25; Rev. 13:7; 16:13-16; 17:14a).

As the world at this time is in fatalistic panic and dire need, Lucifer will provide them with his man of lawlessness, i.e., the Antichrist.

There is no greater way for this Master of puppets to grab power and install radical laws and ruthless policies than when a people and nation are at the very place of lawlessness, poverty, and suffering. In this place, they are the most open to deception. They are consumed by their daily needs, lawless consequences, and are quite willing to even sell their very souls to him for a temporal remedy and a piece of meat or a loaf of bread. As the world - now and in the near future - is in a fatalistic panic and dire need, Lucifer will provide his puppet slaves of unbelief with "serpents and scorpions" and eventually his man of lawlessness, i.e., the Anti – Christ (Rev. 13). Since these have rejected Almighty God's natural laws and the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS absolutes of Almighty God and His saving grace, the world’s inhabitants will be in a state of spiritual darkness and ripe for making a deal with the Devil himself to their ETERNAL doom and ruin (Matt. 25:4, 2 Thess. 2:9-12, Rev. 13,14:9-11). At this point, man’s casual unbelief will be channeled and focused into a powerful laser beam of violence and absolute defiance against Almighty God and His program (2 Thess. 2:2-12).

The Master puppet master is mightily at work, busily pulling the strings, setting the final stage.

Such events are unfolding right before our very eyes. As we are witnessing today the pending collapse of the Western social order and the global markets, the increasing sounds of the steps of the soon-coming Day of the Lord are ringing louder and louder. The Master puppet master is mightily at work, busily pulling the strings, setting the final stage. That, my friend, is what is behind all of this global movement today. How many people (saved or unsaved) truly comprehend this great biblical truth? Sadly, many do not. For remember, we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against a higher fallen spiritual order that is frantically trying to preserve itself from the Lake of Fire (2 Cor. 4:3-4, Eph. 6:12). Believers in the Lord today need to be extremely rooted in the Word of God and totally governed by the Holy Spirit. The casual, sloppy "believing Christian" will find themselves only being deceived and under the strings of the deception of Satan. We as believers truly need to be fully redeeming the time and seeking what Almighty God's will is for our lives here in time (Eph. 5:16-17), for the days are deadly and evil indeed!
.
How Will You Spend Your Penny?
,

My friends, this life is but a penny, easily spent and giving very little satisfaction in doing so. We are here for just a brief moment, and then we are gone (Eccl. 1:1-3). To put “all of our eggs” into the temporal and doomed basket of this life is the height of insanity, rebellion, and unbelief. ETERNITY is our future, and we must all be ready for it on God’s terms, which are holiness and perfect righteousness. That righteousness is only found in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:2-4).
.

This life is but a penny, easily spent and giving very little satisfaction in doing so.

As these darkening and difficult days come to a close and the morning light is shining on the horizon of the Kingdom of Heaven, may you be sure to know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior! He is the ONLY One who can deliver you from the Master puppet master's clutches and his prison hold of death (1 Cor. 15, Eph. 2:1-10, Heb. 2:14-15, Rev. 1:18). Your final destiny - and your ultimate destination - depends on YOUR choice. Call out to the Savior, and He will truly set you free! My friend, place your trust in Him today; you will NEVER be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is surely at hand! Maranatha!

THE TREASURE OF THE MAGI

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, the seeking Magi of the East traveled 800 to 1000 miles seeking the young child Jesus as they followed His star. When they finally arrived in Bethlehem and came before Him, they fell upon their faces in holy reverence and worshipped Him. They then proceeded to present their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the very One in whom their hearts desired and greatly longed for.

Yet the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh paled in comparison to the worship and surrender of their hearts that they presented to Him. What is the greatest gift we can bring to our precious Savior? Almighty God does not need our possessions, talents, abilities, or resources, for everything already belongs to Him. What He desires above all is the gift of a surrendered heart that says, “Lord Jesus, I am Yours. Take my life, work in me, disciple me, and use me for Your ETERNAL glory!” As we present ourselves to Him, He will faithfully work in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Gal. 2:20, Eph. 2:10, Phil. 2:13).

Beloved, the Lord Jesus is both God's greatest Gift to us and our greatest ETERNAL Treasure! The greatest gift we can therefore lay before our King is ourselves, a life fully surrendered to His Person, His Word, and His perfect will. Like the Magi of old, may we fall before our precious Jesus in worship, open the treasures of our hearts, and give ourselves completely to Him for His outworking and ETERNAL glory. For when we possess Christ, we possess a Treasure greater than all the riches of this fallen world. Our greatest gift belongs to our Greatest Gift, our ETERNAL Treasure, Jesus Christ!

What areas of my heart and life still need to be fully surrendered and laid before my ETERNAL King?
How can I offer myself today for Almighty God to work in me and use me for His ETERNAL glory?

PRAYER

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your greatest Gift, my precious Jesus. I surrender my heart and life to You; work in me and use me for Your ETERNAL glory.

We praise You and thank You, and ask these things in Your precious name; even so, come, Lord Jesus. Amen.

WILL NOT GO WITHOUT THEE

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, Moses said unto the LORD, “If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence” (Ex. 33:15). What a beautiful picture of a surrendered and spiritually wise heart! Moses understood that the Promised Land itself was worthless without the presence of Almighty God. Almighty God is our true Promised Land. Likewise, the faithful disciple learns to say, “Lord, if Your presence, grace, mercy, and perfect will are not in this, I will not go without Thee!” Having and possessing God and His perfect will is infinitely greater than reaching any destination without Him. Beloved, what kind of fool would we be if we would go anywhere without Him?

Beloved, there will be times throughout our pilgrim journey when our hearts strongly desire something outside of the will of God: a relationship, opportunity, possession, ministry, achievement, or particular direction for our lives. Yet the surrendered child of God has purposed something deeper within his heart: I want God's will more than I want my own. Like our precious Savior in Gethsemane, we learn to pray, “Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done” (Luke 22:42). As we abide in Jesus, meditate upon His Word, and yield ourselves to the Holy Spirit, Almighty God faithfully directs our paths and teaches us to recognize that His presence is infinitely more precious than anything our hearts might desire.

Beloved, true surrender in Christ is true liberation and freedom (John 8:32)! Our Heavenly Father knows what is best for us, even when His direction differs from ours. If He says go, we follow. If He says wait, we wait. If He closes a door, we trust Him. And if His perfect will leads through an unexpected valley, we walk confidently with our Faithful Shepherd possessing and knowing He leads the way (Psalm 23). The wise disciple would rather walk the hardest road with Jesus than the easiest road without Him. May this therefore be the settled purpose of our hearts throughout our entire pilgrim journey: “Where You lead, precious Lord Jesus, I will follow, but I will not go without Thee!”

Proverbs 3:5–6
Psalm 25:4–5

DEVOTIONAL QUESTIONS

1. Do I desire Almighty God's presence and perfect will more than the things my own heart desires?

2. Is there an area of my life where I need to sincerely pray, “Not my will, but Thine be done”?

3. Am I willing to follow when the Holy Spirit leads, wait when He says wait, and trust Him when His path differs from mine?

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father,

I desire Your presence and perfect will above my own. Give me a surrendered heart that follows wherever You lead and is willing to wait when You say wait.

We praise You and thank You and ask these things in Jesus' precious name; even so, come, Lord Jesus. Amen.

IS THERE ANYTHING TOO WONDERFUL - Song Devotional for JESUS OUR VICTORY CD!

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 23:29:00 +0000

IS THERE ANYTHING TOO WONDERFUL?

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, “Is anything too hard for the LORD?” (Gen. 18:14). The Hebrew word connected with this thought is “pala”; to be wonderful, extraordinary, or beyond human ability; and the related Hebrew word “pele” speaks of a wonder, something marvelous and extraordinary. Beloved, do you see how beautifully this points our hearts toward our incomprehensible ETERNAL CHARACTER of Jesus our precious Savior! His ETERNAL wisdom, power, RIGHTEOUSNESS, faithfulness, and resources are ETERNALLY beyond our ability to begin to comprehend. Indeed, His thoughts are ETERNALLY higher than the heavens! What is impossible with man is never impossible with the Almighty when it is according to His perfect will for us on our pilgrim journey.

As we look back over our pilgrim journey, we can see His wonderful hand again and again. There were valleys we thought we could never cross, burdens we thought we could never carry, and circumstances we could never understand. Yet our ETERNAL Faithful Shepherd was always there! Through every joy and trial, Almighty God was faithfully working, teaching, providing, correcting, sustaining, and discipling us for His ETERNAL glory. Each experience becomes another “Selah” in our lives to meditate on; a witness from God that strengthens our faith and teaches us to trust our precious Jesus even more as He disciples us and conforms us to His beautiful image.

Beloved, yesterday's faithfulness becomes encouragement for today's faith! The longer we walk with Jesus, the more we discover that there is nothing too wonderful or too difficult for our Almighty God. Therefore, when the next impossible circumstance appears along our pilgrim road, we can remember His past faithfulness, stand upon His ETERNAL precious promises, and trust in His perfect will. Our wonderful God has never exhausted His resources, never failed to keep His Word, and never ceased working in His children. Beloved, is there anything too wonderful for the LORD? Absolutely not!

KEY SCRIPTURES

Genesis 18:14
Jeremiah 32:17
Jeremiah 32:27
Job 42:2
Luke 1:37
Romans 8:28–29
Ephesians 3:20–21

DEVOTIONAL QUESTIONS

As I look back over my pilgrim journey, where have I personally seen Almighty God do what once seemed absolutely impossible?
How have difficult circumstances strengthened my faith and helped me to grow as Jesus' disciple?
What seemingly impossible situation do I need to place into the hands of my wonderful and Almighty God today?

PRAYER

Heavenly Father,

Thank You that nothing within Your perfect will is too hard or too wonderful for You to do. Help me to always remember Your ETERNAL faithfulness, trust Your endless resources, and continue growing as a faithful disciple of Jesus.

We praise You and thank You in Jesus' precious name; even so, come, Lord Jesus. Amen.

The Rapture in the Lord's Table - Until He Comes!

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 08:43:00 +0000

My dear friends, as we were taking communion many years ago, 1 Corinthians 11:25-26 was shared, and as it was shared, the end part of that Bible verse rang out to me as never before! Though I had known that we were to take communion to "proclaim the Lord's death until He comes", the Holy Spirit showed me the other side of the coin, which I had never seen before until that night! The Holy Spirit spoke to my heart saying, "until your Jesus comes, until you (David) will be changed FOREVERMORE (John 14:6, 1 Cor. 15:51-57, Phil. 3:21, 1 Thess. 4:13-18, 1 John 3:1-4)! I thought to myself, "what a glorious hope of RIGHTEOUSNESS in the Lord's Table for ALL the blood brought saints of Almighty God who have placed their trust in the Lord Jesus as their Savior! His death, burial, and resurrection have made possible my propitiation and my future redemption from my vile, corruptible, mortal body and have prepared for me a brand new heavenly body fashioned after His RIGHTEOUS one (Rom. 7:24-25, Phil. 3:21, 1 John 3:1-4)! My dear friends in Christ, if that ETERNAL TRUTH doesn't fire up the blood-bought saints of Almighty God, whatever will! What a picture the Lord has given us to remember as we partake at His Table of Remembrance of His death! Until He Comes! Until we are changed (1 Cor. 15:52-57, Phil. 3:20-21, 1 Thess. 4:13-18, 1 John 3:1-4)! The Rapture is the glorification of the church saints from Pentecost to the last saved of this age.

1 Corinthians 11:25-26 states;” ²⁵In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” ²⁶For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes!"

Christ's coming for His Church (at any moment) will be in the air at the Rapture, as the Holy Scriptures clearly teach! The last phrase of this passage in 1 Corinthians 11:25-26 (until He comes) is not speaking of His second coming and His return to planet earth with His glorified Church and His angels to reign and rule for a thousand years (Isa. 2;11; Dan. 2:43-44; 7:13-14, Matt. 25, 2 Thess. 2:8, Rev. 19:11-21), but rather at His personal coming for His bride (His body of called out believers) at the Rapture - John 14:6, 1 Cor. 15:51-57, Eph. 4:13, Phil. 3:21, 1 Thess. 4:13-18, 1 John 3:1-4). The Rapture of the Body of Christ is the glorification of all the church-age saints from Acts 2 till the present!

The last phrase of this passage in 1 Corinthians 11:25-26 (until He comes) is not speaking of His second coming and His return to planet earth with His glorified Church and His angels to reign and rule for a thousand years, but rather of His personal coming for His body of called-out believers at the Rapture!

My dear friends, the Lord's table has become one of the most twisted teachings in Christianity! Apostates and unregenerate traditionalists have rejected the simple biblical teaching of the Lord's table and have replaced its simplicity and wonderful message with new ageism, mystic perspectives, work-related "spirituality," and atonement-rejecting doctrines. To truly understand Communion/the Lord's table, one must have received the Lord Jesus as their personal Savior and be born again as the Bible wonderfully, clearly, and simply teaches (John 1:12; 3:3-7, Acts 4:12; 16:30-31, Rom. 10:9-13, Eph. 2:8-9). To truly understand the Lord's table, one must understand that the Lord Jesus gave His life for us as our propitiation and Lamb; and we by our own merits and works can NEVER redeem our self from our fallen state (Isa. 53, Matt. 26:26-29, Mark 14:22-25, Luke 22:17-20, 1 Cor. 11:23-2!5, Heb. 9-10, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 John 2:2, 4:10, Rev. 1:5).

We rejoice in Him who WILL change vile and mortal bodies to heavenly RIGHTEOUS ones at His coming at the Rapture! Dearly beloved, ETERNAL GLORY and PRAISE to Almighty God in the HIGHEST! Who TRULY saves ALL who call upon His Name in RIGHTEOUSNESS!

Redemption is TOTALLY and SOLELY of Almighty God! We as fallen transgressors of the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS spiritual and moral absolutes of Almighty God, need desperately to be rescued, delivered, and saved from our own fallen estate by His ETERNAL GRACE alone (Rom. 6:23; 7:24-25; Eph. 2:8-9)! That is why we as believers - who follow our Lord's command to partake of His table in total remembrance of Him and of His propitiatory death - rejoice in Him who is our Salvation! We rejoice in Him who is our Propitiation! We rejoice in Him who is our Redemption! We rejoice in Him who is our Life! And we rejoice in Him who WILL change our vile and mortal bodies to heavenly RIGHTEOUS ones at His coming at the Rapture! Dearly beloved, ETERNAL GLORY and PRAISE to Almighty God in the HIGHEST! Who TRULY saves ALL who call upon His Name in RIGHTEOUSNESS!

What GREATER HOPE is there in our day as believers in Jesus Christ than to look for our Blessed Lord's soon return and trumpet blast, and we remember our Lord's death at the table of the Lord till He comes! Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Dear friends, we live in very turbulent times today (locally, nationally, and globally), which are EXPONENTIALLY ACCELERATING due to the EXPONENTIAL growth in technology! What GREATER HOPE is there in our day as believers in Jesus Christ than to look for our Blessed Lord's soon return and trumpet blast as we remember our Lord's death, at His table, until He comes! Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Bible Verses Relating to the Rapture Teaching and the Second Coming of Christ

The Two FOREVERS - Which One is Yours?

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 04:30:00 +0000

In ETERNITY, the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God is without compromise and saturates its ETERNAL state. When a man or woman dies in an unregenerate state, they do not stop transgressing against the RIGHTEOUS laws and absolutes of Almighty God. They FOREVER remain in an unregenerate fallen lawless state. They must be put in a place which consumes their godless and lawless thoughts, which transgress the ETERNAL absolutes and laws of FOREVER (Rom. 7:7-24, 25, Rev. 22:8). The purifying holiness of Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS fire FOREVER consumes the lawless imaginations and thoughts that arise against Almighty God's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS. Thus the flame always burns, and the worm NEVER dies (Matt. 25:41, Mark 9:43-44, Rev. 20:11, 21:8, 22:11). WOE! WOE! WOE!

The purifying holiness of Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS fire FOREVER consumes the lawless imaginations and thoughts that arise against Almighty God's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS, and thus the flame always burns, and the worm never dies. WOE! WOE! WOE!

For the redeemed this ETERNAL destiny is not so, for they by placing their trust in Almighty God's ETERNAL Son have been delivered from their fallen nature and have been given the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Christ which is for ALL ETERNITY (Rom. 10:2-4, 1 Cor. 1:30, 2 Cor. 5:21, 1 John 3:1-3, Rev. 1:5, 22:11). In the death of the redeemed is great joy for we know that our loved one is in the presence of Almighty God and safe in His ETERNAL loving arms (2 Cor. 5:8). The one who dies in Christ will be finally liberated from the bondage of this fallen world, Satan's oppression and their fallen nature (Gal. 1:4, Rom. 7:24-25, 8:18-23). In the death of the saints is indeed ETERNAL liberation and the joy of ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS (2 Cor. 2:9, Rev. 21-22:1-5). We will at last see our Savior and Heavenly Father face to face and be able to enjoy them in the beauty of RIGHTEOUSNESS (John 17:24, Rev. 22:1-5).

.The one who dies in Christ will be finally liberated from the bondage of this fallen world, Satan's oppression, and their fallen nature.

My dear friends, it is Almighty God's great desire for ALL to turn to Him and be delivered from the wrath which is to come against all lawlessness and ungodliness (John 3:16-17). To rebel against Almighty God's command to repent and be saved and to reject His GRACE, MERCY and LOVE is to seek to bring this world's unrighteous rebellion into ETERNITY and this world's lawless consequence with it (Isa. 5:20, 32:17, 57:21, Rom. 1:18-32, Gal.6:7, Rev. 21:8). O dear friends, that can NEVER be, nor will it EVER be. There is no ETERNAL peace in lawlessness, only the fruits of oppression and violence.

My dear friends, Almighty God cries out to you today to repent and be saved (Ezek. 18:32, John 3:17, 1 Tim. 2:4)! Will you hear His voice? The days are getting short, and ETERNITY is EVER before us. Please be sure to contact us if you have any questions on how you can know where you will spend your ETERNITY. ONLY in Jesus Christ is found Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS provision for ETERNITY

The Scoffers of Those Who Warn

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Sat, 29 Aug 2026 11:04:00 +0000

We, as a nation today, have forsaken and violated ALL moral accountability to Almighty God, and we are paying the EXPONENTIALLY growing price as a nation (socially and fiscally), are we not?

With the warning bells sounding off at fever pitch, this addicted nation has become numb and dumb to what is at our very door.

Those who DO seek to honor our founder’s vision of responsible capitalism, moral responsibility, and godly charity are slandered and demonized as evil and greedy. Those who warn of our nation’s addiction to material things, reckless spending, and abuse of fiscal absolutes are again demonized as heartless and callous. With the warning bells sounding off at fever pitch, this addicted nation has become numb and dumb to what is at our very door, the Divine Judgment of Almighty God! Arrogantly, we as a nation have taken hold of the delusional mindset that "absolutely no harm can ever happen to us". We are blinded by our pride and status in this world and know not that the axe is laid at our very roots.

Our nation's decadent philosophy and anthem is the ever-singing chorus of, "eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die."

Our nation's decadent philosophy and anthem is the ever-singing chorus of, "eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die" (Eccl. 8:15, Isa. 22:13)! This narcissistic, suicidal, and callous mindset has increased our lawless bent and our nation’s moral and fiscal condition to dire and critical.

Implosion USA

We are at a time right now in America’s history when we are about to experience the full collapse of our Republic (socially and fiscally). Our nation’s debt and fiscal situation is at the absolute breaking point, and our leadership knows it and is genuinely frightened at the fiscal and social tsunami that is about to take place. For the Left, this is their “perfect storm” and “the ideal crisis” to move forward on. For this will be their time to seize final control and power, set up a godless secular state, and tyrannize the American people into making them absolutely dependent on them for everything. Thus is the fate of a republic when lawlessness has overcome its inhabitants. When the collapse of a nation’s currency and social order takes place, the vacuum will be filled with a fascist dictatorship. History continues to bear witness to this. We here in America are about to witness and experience the great depression on exponential steroids. When these things finally take place, we will see the eradication of the middle class and the exponential rise of far greater dependent Americans. We will see the rise of lawlessness, violence, anarchy, and the evaporation of any personal rights. We will see the collapse and dissolution of our nation’s union, even to the point of civil wars throughout our land, and we will go from a superpower to a third-world nation overnight.
.

Our nation’s debt and fiscal situation is at the absolute breaking point, and our leadership knows it and is genuinely frightened at the fiscal and social tsunami that is about to take place.

We here in America - at this time in our world’s history - know NOT what it is like to ever lack or want. Our Founders' vision for this nation under the rule of the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God has been the blueprint for sinful man to live with unalienable rights and freedoms in a fallen world. Never in the history of the world has a nation been so blessed and has prospered so rapidly. On the same note, NEVER will a nation implode so rapidly. We as a nation did not handle our blessings rightly and are at the very verge of social and moral collapse.

Violence and Anarchy

Even today our lazy, spoiled, lawless and uncountable U.S. victicrats citizens (red, yellow, black or white), oh, excuse me… the “poor”, eat the best foods, wear the best clothes, have free medical, dental and housing, have their countless bastard children taken care of mostly all for FREE! These expenses are footed by the ever overburdened American taxpayer. These slaves to lawlessness and the state are kept on the U.S. social plantation and are ruled by the Left in this country, but once our money is gone and the dollar collapses, what will be then when these have their social addictions not met? Only violence, discord, and anarchy will follow! The inner cities will be violent jungles where only lawlessness will abound.

The middle class - in their desperation - will delve to levels that they thought unimaginable. In the need to survive, they will also become violent and exceedingly desperate.

Sadly, the lawless rich will get richer and have the power and will rule as the elite class, much like the Nazi’s and Soviets, etc., did. Is this not the vision those here in America on the Left have for themselves as they ever lead this nation into the dark regions of national socialistic and elite rule?

Treasures in Heaven
/

What will be cannot be stopped. All things are driving us to the time called in God’s Word, the Day of the Lord!

What came easy for us in this last-day America will go just as fast. What is crucial for all of us to see is that we need to see the ETERNAL and not get caught up in the passing temporal (1 John 2:15-17).

The Lord Jesus stated,
.

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matt. 6:33)

"But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal" (Matt. 6:20)

"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." (1 Cor. 2:9)

As we are on the brink of a new day here in America, one full of adversity, violence, lack, want, and despair, there is One who NEVER changes (Heb. 13:8). There is One who wants ALL to come to a saving knowledge of Him for their ETERNAL betterment (John 3:16-17). Do you personally know the Lord Jesus as your Savior? If not, be sure that you do today. That is what this vain little life is all about. He has come to make us RIGHTEOUSLY rich with an ETERNAL inheritance (Eph. 1:7, 14). May you place your trust in Him today! You will NEVER be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Maranatha!

The TRUE Definition of "Religion" in an Inverted Demonic World - Eph. 2:1-3

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Sat, 29 Aug 2026 04:00:00 +0000

Human religion is the godless spiritual philosophy or ideology that attempts to replace Almighty God and ETERNAL REALITY; based on the fallen subjective perception of an unregenerate man (John 3:3-7, Rom. 8:5-8, 1 Cor. 2:14). A man or peoples "religion" will NOT acknowledge the ETERNAL RIGHTNESS of the Person of Almighty God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Their saving propitiation found in the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ (John 3:19-21, Rom. 1:18-32, 10:2-4).

Religion is the godless spiritual philosophy or ideology that attempts to replace Almighty God and ETERNAL REALITY based on the fallen perception of an unregenerate man.

A man's "religion" seeks to answer the basic needs of the human heart, which is the longing to fill an ETERNAL void that exists in the absence of a right relationship to its ETERNAL Creator in SPIRIT and TRUTH (Eccl 3:11, John 4:24). This godless spiritual ideology (i.e., religion) is prevalent throughout the multitudinous cultures and various societies of Adam's fallen race (Rom. 1:18-32). All human history attests to this fact throughout the last 4,200 years since the scattering of people over all the earth after the Tower of Babel that mankind would rather hold on to their fallen "spiritual" religious ideologies of godlessness than to adhere to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS and ETERNAL REALITY of time and ETERNITY (John 3:19-21, Rom. 1:18-32, 10:2-4).

REALITY

As humanity develops and outworks these ideologies and philosophies in time, the ETERNAL spiritual absolutes (truths) and natural (moral) laws of Almighty God never change, nor will they ever. That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation (Hebrews 6; 18a). For I am the LORD, I change not (Malachi 3:6a). My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips (Psalm 89:34). Almighty God and His Word can be totally relied upon.

For about 4,200 years since the Tower of Babel dispersion, humanity has been outworking their godless, unrighteous spiritual ideologies and philosophies and has been reaping the horrific consequences ever since.
.

In Romans 1:18-32, Almighty God tells us what happened after Babel and what the end results thereof were. Humanity had willingly chosen the abandonment of TRUTH and REALITY for a godless delusion and a lie. These offspring of Noah's sons had replaced and exchanged the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God with unrighteousness. For about 4,200 years since the Tower of Babel, humanity has been outworking their godless, unrighteous spiritual ideologies and philosophies and has been reaping the horrific consequences ever since (Rom. 1:18-32). The consequences and end results of a godless existence are vanity and ETERNAL damnation (Eccl. 1:14; Rom. 3:23, Rev. 20:11-15). The REALITY of this life is that Almighty God sent His Son (John 3:16-17; Rom. 8:3-4) to redeem man and restore a right relationship between man and Himself (John 3:3-7, 16-17, 1 John 2:2, 4:10). That is ETERNAL REALITY and not some man-made "religious" statement.

Almighty God's Word states;

God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6).

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth (John 17:17).

Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever (Psalm 119:160).

Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? To know Him is to know REALITY. To know Him is to know the Truth. May you be sure that your "ideology" and "REALITY" is rooted in the absolute REALITY of Almighty God and His never-changing Word. Your whole ETERNITY depends on it.

Satan's Last Day's Strawmen

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 10:02:00 +0000

Do not be distracted by Satan and fallen man's many straw men, which only offer vain and hopeless solutions that are rooted in falsehoods and delusional optimistic appraisals. The moral collapse of the American family and moral social structure by moral relativism is FAR GREATER a HORRIFIC DEBT and CONSUMING DRAGON for America than any fiscal crisis or nationally manufactured crisis could ever be. No wonder why sound morality is absolutely abhorred by this nation (Republicans and Democrats) and has been replaced with a moral relativism that all (conservatives and liberals) can adhere to in the blindness and deception of their own minds (Rom. 1:18-32, Jude 1:10).

This dire state and root cause of America's social demise is NEVER EVER ADDRESSED by the media, Republicans, Independents, Democrats, pseudo-conservatives, moderates, liberals, and progressives. They have - across the political spectrum - redefined, twisted, and euphemized truth, reality, morality, and absolutes into lawless balloon animals, which are very fragile, unstable, and very vulnerable.
.

They have, across the political spectrum, redefined, twisted, and euphemized truth, reality, morality, and absolutes into lawless balloon animals, which are very fragile, unstable, and very vulnerable.

Sadly, it is the way of this fallen world that lawlessness will ALWAYS triumph (Rom. 1:18-32), if not in one great victory, then in slow, creeping, incremental advances. The world is presently on course to the Day of Lawlessness that will be under Satan's Anti Christ (2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 13) Humanity is fallen and is always susceptible to the sensual attraction of the vices, desires and transgressions which exalt themselves against the RIGHTEOUS spiritual, natural and physical absolutes for time and for ETERNITY established by our Creator (Gen. 1:31, Matt. 15:16-20, Rom. 7, Eph. 2:2-3, Gal. 5:19-21).

Every straw man of Satan is to get us to look away from the REALITY of the Cross and our ETERNAL destiny.

From a sound biblical position, it is not hard to see our nation’s shortcomings and dire state. What is at the heart of America’s decline and is the common denominator of the majority of the American people (conservative and liberal) is the rejection of Almighty God's ETERNAL spiritual absolutes and His moral absolutes and principles for time. The ONLY solution for mankind's dilemma is a saving personal relationship to our Creator in SPIRIT and TRUTH through Jesus Christ the RIGHTEOUS who is mankind's propitiation for the wrath of Almighty God (Matt. 7:21-23, 15:7-9, John 4:24, Rom. 10:2-4, Titus 1:16, John 2:2, Jude 1:10). Every straw man of Satan is to get us to look away from the REALITY of the Cross and our ETERNAL destiny (John 3:16-17, 2 Cor. 4:2-4).
.

As we see our nation wither away and see our nation’s social landscape ravished beyond all repair, do not let your hearts be troubled (John 14:1). Do not deceive yourselves in these last days, as countless millions are, by putting all of your eggs in the basket of the Republican Party or any other political group and future moderate nominee. There is ABSOLUTELY no hope there in saving this sinking Titanic from going to the bottom of the sea. America, your ONLY hope is in the Savior of the world. O nations of the world, your ONLY hope is in the Savior of the world (John 3:16-17, Acts 4:12, 16:29-31, Rev. 5:9, 21, 22:1-5). America will not survive, and in its collapse we will see a horrific seven-year tribulation that will engulf the entire world (Rev. 6-19).

There is ABSOLUTELY NO ESCAPE from what is at the door. These things ALL MUST come to pass as Almighty God’s Word has testified to.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO ESCAPE from what is at the door. These things ALL MUST come to pass as Almighty God’s Word has testified to (Rev. 22:20). My dear friend, have faith in Almighty God and the simplicity of His PERFECT Word (Mark 11:22, Heb. 11:1,6). Believe Him and place ALL your trust in Him for it is in Jesus Christ ALONE that there is EVERLASTING HOPE and FULL ASSURANCE (Acts 4:12, Rom. 1:16, Col. 2:2, 2 Tim. 1:12). Do your part to your fullest as an America in these last days all the while knowing that NOTHING will stop the Day of Lawlessness, the Lord Jesus’ glorious second coming and the establishment of His 1000 year reign in TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS! Be sure to see the BIG PICTURE first, my beloved, then all will fall into place! The TRUTH will indeed set you free from the bondage and tyranny of Satan and his many-faceted straw men, which are set up out there to distract you and to get your eye off of his arch-foe, Almighty God (the Savior of the world (John 8:32, 36, 2 Cor. 4:3-4, Col 3:1-4)!

Almighty God's Righteous Utopia
.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor.5:17,18).

Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness (2 Peter 3:12,13).

For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind (Isaiah 65:17).

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful (Rev. 21:1-5).

One only needs to think outside the box of this world system and believe Almighty God and His Word! Then, and only then, will you find the answers of life and the reality of what it is all about. The Utopia ideal and reality is only found in Jesus Christ - God's Savior - for all humanity. (John 3:16)

"And he (Jesus) said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God (Luke 18:27)"

What is Sin?

The Devil - Originator and King of the Swamp! Eph. 2:1-2

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 04:14:00 +0000

The key to seeing ALL things of this world is to see them from a regenerate biblical perspective (John 3:3-7, Col. 3:1-4)! The term swamp, or swamper or swamp creature is in the vernacular of the day referring to rooted and entrenched corruptors and corruption. There is one Swamp creature who is the father of all swampers and has been seeking in vain to build and maintain his godless swamp since his fall in Heaven's Eden of old (Gen. 3. Isa. 14:12-17, Ezek. 28:12-19, Matt. 25:John 8:44, Eph. 2:1-2, Rev. 20:2-3)! Saul Alinsky spoke of him in the dedication of his book, "Rules for Radicals".

"Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom." — Lucifer.

The world swamp - under the god of this world - is ALWAYS at war with and fatally excludes their ETERNAL Creator's RIGHTEOUS position of ETERNAL authority when exercising their temporal existence here in time. Oh that Adam's fallen race would see that their godless workings and rebellion are for but a finite moment and will have the ETERNAL HORRIFIC consequences that will follow them after their exit from this temporal world (Eccl. 12:13-14, Acts 17:24-31, Rom. 1:18-31, Rev. 20:11-15). In fallen man's unbelief, they full right reject the ETERNAL Divine summons from on High and the Person and Work of the ETERNAL Son of Almighty God, who is the RIGHTEOUS propitiation and Savior for the world! When the world rejects the ETERNAL Light of Almighty God's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Person they willingly give themselves over and make themselves subject and shackled to the oppressive despotic tyranny of Lucifer and his world of gross darkness and unrighteousness (Matt. 16:23, John 8:44, Acts 10:38, 2 Cor. 4:2-4; 11:13-14, Eph. 2:1-2, 1 Peter 5:8-9, 1 John 3:8, Rev. 12:9).

When the world rejects the ETERNAL Light of Almighty God's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Person they willingly give themselves over and make themselves subject and shackled to the oppressive despotic tyranny of Lucifer and his world of gross darkness and unrighteousness.

So it is pretty easy today to see where our nation is heading and why it is heading there looking at America through the eyes of a regenerated biblical perspective! Today's America and world - in the blindness and darkness of their minds - seek a false peace and harmony through lawless means; which can NEVER be!! In their delusional pursuit of "peace" through lawless means, these have redefined spiritual and moral absolutes calling demonic tyranny; "freedom" and "liberty"; while slandering the ETERNAL King of RIGHTEOUSNESS and TRUE Peace as oppressive and unjust (Isa. 5:20). Satan's demonic complex and swamp is global and is ALL controlling and ALL consuming (Eph. 2;1-2, 1 John 5:19)! It is not man alone who is on a lawless tear here in America, but the lawless man who has submitted their unregenerate mind to the god of this world and his ageless rebellion against his ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator! One example is a U.S. political party that idolizes and follows the teachings of Saul Alinsky; a man who dedicated his life to Lucifer and his rebellion and anti-authority ways (John 8:44). However, those of the redeemed of Almighty God the RIGHTEOUS; who have come to place their trust in His Son have been liberated from Satan's power and tyranny (Gen. 3, Job 1-2, John 8:44, Acts 10:38, 2 Cor, 4:3-6;11:13-15, Eph. 2:1-2; 6:10-12, Rev. 12:7-17; 20:7-10). The redeemed of the Lord are called to be burning lights in Satan's darkened demonic global complex and swamp, ever pointing to the TRUE Light of the world; and their labors for the Light of the world are NEVER in vain, for they have an ETERNAL reward, benefits, and fruit which will follow them for ALL ETERNITY (Luke 6:22-23, 1 Cor. 2:9, Rev. 21; 22:1-5).

Satan's demonic complex and swamp is global and is ALL controlling and ALL consuming!

The average American today - whether they be a Left-wing reprobate or a Conservative reprobate - REFUSES to see the world, the events at hand and the overall picture of why the world is the way it is from Almighty God’s ETERNAL perspective (2 Cor. 4:3-4, Eph. 6:12, 1 John 2:16-17). These blinded individuals (Left or Right), posses an unbelieving, unregenerate and subjective world view which blinds them to the true ETERNAL REALITIES of time and ETERNITY (John 1:5-12; 5;39-43, 2 Cor. 4:2-4, Eph. 2:1-2). They are oblivious that they are nothing but wretched slaves of Satan and are subject to the highly organized Demonic Complex of heaven's fallen angelic host (2 Cor. 4:3-4, Eph. 2:1-2).

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places] (Eph. 6:12).

Satan's global demonic complex is driving this world's godless and lawless agenda today and is at war with DIVINE REALITY (Psalm 2; 14, John 8:44, Rom. 1:18-32, Eph. 2:1-2; 6:1-12, Jude 1:10; 1 John 5:19, Rev. 16:13-16; 20:7-10). The great spiritual war of the ages is Satan's temporal rebellious agenda of darkness against Almighty God's ETERNAL sovereignty of LIGHT and RIGHTEOUSNESS (Isa. 5:20, John 3:19-21, Acts 26:18, 2 Cor. 4:3-6, Eph 2:2). As fallen mankind partakes and places their necks under Satan's tyranny in unbelief, they become his subjects, slaves, tools, and allies in Satan's War against the ETERNAL sovereignty of their Creator (Matt.25:41, Rom. 1:18-31, Rev. 13). The weight and validity of this truth will soon be revealed and realized to the fullest by this fallen world as they enter into the dreadful seven-year period called, the Day of the Lord (Rev. 9, 11:3-13, 13).

These blinded individuals (Left or Right), posses an unbelieving subjective world view which blinds them to the true realities at hand.

The Bible - Almighty God’s Infallible Word – EXPOSES in greater depth the inner workings, not just of fallen corrupted mankind, but of the demonic "political" machine of heaven’s lawless angelic intelligences and their fierce leader, the original radical, slanderer, blasphemer and character assassin - (aka. Lucifer). My friends, we are ALL subjected to a GREAT spiritual war raging today for the hearts, minds, and souls of mankind and are at the very end of our time's journey as a human race. My dear friends, ALL things are headed to that great Day and time called the “Day of the Lord” and the “Battle of Armageddon” (Rev. 6-19) and receive it or not, these things WILL BE. The world at present deep down in their hearts knows this to be true and that we are at mankind’s final crossroads. Indeed, Almighty God's Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! For it will ONLY be when godless mankind and their demonic masters of delusion are defeated at Christ's glorious return to earth - at the end of the seven-period called the "Day of the Lord" - that Almighty God will establish His 1000 year reign and rule on this earth. It will be at this time that absolutely no darkness will dominate as in days past. But until then, we are still present in this Demonic Complex governing the world (Eph. 2:2, 6:12).

The Leftist machine here in America and in the world is nothing but a means to an end and are Lucifer’s straw men to deceive, brainwash and bamboozle this unbelieving world (Left and Right) in their unregenerate state off the cliff into ETERNAL damnation and ruin.

The Leftist Media Machine here in America is one example of Satan's demonic complex in motion to promote godlessness and promote lawlessness. The lawless media are nothing more than Lucifer’s tools, minions and straw men to deceive, brainwash and bamboozle the countless millions of people who are unbelieving. Unknowingly they are being used to move Lucifer's agenda forward in this unbelieving world (Eph. 2:1-2). The carrot at the end stick of these godless media pawns is the delusional hope and pursuit of creating a global Utopian society. Left or Right, if both ideologies are unbelieving (John 3:36, Eph 2:2) they are both being deceived and used and are being swept away in their unregenerate state into ETERNAL damnation and ruin (Matt. 25:41, Rev. 20:11-15).

Left or Right, if both ideologies are unbelieving they are both being deceived.

My friend, think it through. There is more than meets the eye in the world of politics today. All that is about us today is heading to that final showdown between Lucifer and the LORD, call the "Day of the Lord" and billions are oblivious as they are being orchestrated to set its very stage by the god of this world (Eph. 2:2;6:12). Without faith in Almighty God and His Word, all is darkness. It is ONLY when we are made spiritually alive by receiving God's Savior, Jesus Christ into our hearts that we can see these realities as they truly are (John 3:3, 2 Cor. 5:17-21).

All that is about us today is heading to that final showdown between Lucifer and the LORD, call the "Day of the Lord" and billions are oblivious as they are being orchestrated as they set the very stage.

You see, the REALITY is that "in the end of our little existence" All (you and me) will have to give a personal account to Almighty God for what we have done based on His ETERNAL spiritual absolutes of RIGHTEOUS PERFECTION and His moral absolutes here for time (Heb. 9:27, John 5:24, Rev. 20:11-15). Since Adam’s fall no one is capable of living a perfect God-honoring life as Almighty God demands (Rom. 3:23; 5:12-21; 6:23; 10:2-4). That is why Almighty God sent His Son. That is why He came to earth 2000 years ago, to live the perfect life for ALL and to be the PERFECT propitiation for our transgressions against the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God and to make us RIGHTEOUS (John 3:16-17, Rom. 10:2-4, Heb. 2:17, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 John 2:2), as God’s Word so clearly states.

but TRUE freedom, perception, and liberty ONLY come when one receives Almighty God’s Son as their Savior.

As this fallen world devours the spin, lies and creates false and subtle perceptions dished out by Lucifer's demonic global complex remember that ONLY TRUE freedom, perception, and liberty comes when one receives Almighty God’s Son as their Savior (John 8:32,36, 1 John 5:10-13). We cannot dismiss or make relative these truths, for they are what they are. One must be brave enough to step out of themselves and receive them and claim them for their own.

Almighty God’s Word ALONE gives ETERNAL insight and exposes Lucifer’s demonic complex, his grand designs, and godless ambitions (Col. 2:15). May you place your trust in Christ ALONE in these ever confusing days of darkness. Almighty God's Word will be a light for you (Psalm 119:105, John 3:3).

Remember my friends; The Kingdom of Heaven is TRULY at hand!

Mary of Nazareth As The Bible Defines Her

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 04:00:00 +0000

This study seeks to present, from God's Holy Word, what the Bible teaches about Mary of Nazareth, the young Jewish virgin who bore the Messiah, the Savior of the World. In this study, we will seek to look at EVERY Bible verse found in the Holy Scriptures that pertains to Mary of Nazareth. Be sure to check out all the links for this study, for they will provide a deeper perspective into the person of Mary.

Introduction

In beginning this study, the clarifying statement should be made that the Bible, God’s infallible (reliable) and immaculate (perfect) Word, is the FINAL AUTHORITY when it comes to ALL matters pertaining to the truth of Christianity, which includes Mary (2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 3:16).

The Lord Jesus Christ gave countless warnings to BEWARE of false teachers and false teachings. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man DECEIVE YOU (Gospel of Saint Matthew 24:4).

Saint Paul also warned us to BEWARE of false teachings and fables. Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables (2 Timothy 4:2-4).

Many dear, sincere people trust for their ETERNAL destiny in observing "Christian traditions," performing "good works" and having a "denominational upbringing" instead of BELIEVING and TRUSTING the Word of Almighty God (2 Tim. 3:14-4:5). The Lord Jesus issued serious warnings about practicing the vain traditions of men instead of holding to the sound eternal absolutes and spiritual laws found in Almighty God's Holy Word (St. Matt. 7:21-23).

Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition (St. Mark 7:7-9).

Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men (St. Matthew 15:6b-9).

We also read in God's Word about the positive example of the Bereans. They (The Bereans)received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Therefore many of them believed" (Acts 17:11b-12a).

Again, God's Word is the ABSOLUTE FINAL authority when it comes to any subject or teaching found in Christianity. The Bible states in regard to God's Word: Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven (Psalm 119:89).
.
Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth forever (Psalm 119:160). Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away (St. Matthew 24:35).

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe (1 Thess. 2:13).

He that is of God heareth God's words (St. John 8:47). May it be your sincere desire not to allow your own feelings to cloud your reason regarding this very delicate subject relating to Mary of Nazareth. By having faith in Almighty God (Heb. 11:6), i.e., by believing on God and His Word, may the Holy Spirit guide you into all truth (St. John 16:12-13). Whatever your thoughts, traditions or teachings about Mary (or Miriam in the Hebrew) of Nazareth, they MUST be defined by and align themselves with the Holy Scriptures. Again, the objective of this study is to present what God's Holy Word, the Bible, teaches about Mary of Nazareth.

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

The Humanity of Mary

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate (to look with pity on her vile condition) of his handmaiden (slave): for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation (St. Luke 1:45-49).

Mary offered a burnt offering and a sin offering for an atonement after her purification (Leviticus 12:1-8). And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons (St. Luke 2:22-24).

These passages reveal that Mary was a sinner in need of a Savior!

The Use of the Term "Woman" by the Lord Jesus in Regard to Mary

Nowhere in the New Testament is there found the occasion where the Lord Jesus called His "human" mother Mary "Mother." We only find that He called her "Woman" (St. John 2:1-4; 19:25-27). There are distinctions given by the Gospel writers (2 Peter 1:20-21) that reveal Mary as the mother of Jesus’ human nature, but again, the term "mother" was never used by Jesus when addressing Mary. We have absolutely NO record of that. Mary was a created being, and the Lord Jesus was the ETERNAL Creator (St. John 1:1-3; Col. 1:16; Heb. 1:1-3). This practice was not belittling to motherhood in general or derogatory to Mary herself in any way, shape or form. The Lord Jesus was helping Mary to understand that the Son of her womb (the flesh) was housing the ETERNAL Son of the Highest sent from Heaven above (St. John 1:1-14; Isaiah 9:6; Micah 5:2). Mary had only given birth to PROVIDE a perfect human body (by passing fallen man's seed) to house the ETERNAL Person of the Son of God for His great mission here on planet earth, redemption for Adam's fallen race (St. John 1:14; Rom. 5:12-21, Heb. 2:14-15; 10:5, 12:1-3).

The Lord Jesus, the perfect and complete egg

Adam's fallen race, including Mary

Jesus was (and is) the Perfect Son of God (St. John 1:1-3), God in the flesh (St. John 1:14), and the Savior of the World for all humanity and even Mary (St. Luke 1:45-49). This title of "woman" given by Jesus was a constant reminder to and for Mary (Miriam) that Jesus born of her flesh, was absolutely different and holy (perfect and set apart) from her and all of Adam's fallen race. Jesus was not like any of her other children or any other of Adam's IMPERFECT fallen race (St. Luke 1:31-32; Rom. 5:12-19). He was the PERFECT Son of Almighty God dwelling in a PERFECT human body (St. John 8:46; 1 Peter 3:18). The heavenly assignment given to Mary by Almighty God would not be an easy one, as the Holy Scriptures tell us.

And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart (St. Luke 2:18-19).

And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed (St. Luke 2:34-35).

And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? Behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business? And they understood not the saying which he spoke unto them. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart (St. Luke 2:48-51).

And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother (Mark 3:35).

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home(St. John 19:25-27).
.

(This last passage is pertinent to understanding why Jesus used the term "woman" when addressing Mary, i.e., to communicate that his relationship with his earthly mother would not be permanent, only temporary.)

The Virgin-Born Birth of The Savior of the World

And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy (Lucifer's) seed and her (Eve's, later Mary's) seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel (Genesis 3:13-15).

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14).

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us (St. Matthew 1:20-23).

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God (Luke 1:31-35).

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law (Gal 4:4).
.

Almighty God (the Father) BYPASSED the seed of fallen man by the POWER and OVERSHADOWING of the Holy Spirit (St. Luke 1:35). This Divine action PREVENTED the fallen traits and corruption of Adam's FALLEN race (Gen. 5:3; Romans 3:23; 5:12-19) from CONTAMINATING the PERFECT housing (body of flesh) for the Person of the Son of God to tangibly dwell here on planet earth (Micah 5:2; St. Luke 1:35; St. John 1:14; Heb. 10:5; 1 Peter 1:19).

The Non-Perpetual Virginity of Mary after the Lord Jesus' Birth

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together (i.e., had intimate physical relations), she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not (refers to sexual intimacy of the God-ordained marital union) till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS (St. Matthew 1:18-25).

And she brought forth her firstborn (implies the first with more following after) son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn (St. Luke 2:7).

Mary and Joseph's Children

I am become a stranger to my brothers, and an alien to my mother's children (Psalm 69:8).
.

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? (Matthew 13:53-55).
.

“When the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him” (St. Mark 6:1-3).

After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days (St. John 2:12).
.

His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. For neither did his brethren believe in him. Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come (St. John 7:3-8).

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 James. These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren (Acts 1:13-14).

There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother (St. Mark 3:31-35).

And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid (St. Mark 15:47).

And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him (St. Mark 16:1).

Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children. When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple: He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus (Matthew 27:56-58).

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother (Galatians 1:19).

Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied (St. Jude 1:1-2).

The Book of James and the Book of Jude were written by the half-brothers of Jesus, i.e., Mary’s children fathered by Joseph. Also, James, the half-brother of Jesus, was one of the early leaders of the Church at Jerusalem (Acts 15:13-21).

Mary's Life after the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ

During the crucifixion of Christ on the cross, John is given guardianship of Mary and her family by her firstborn son, Jesus.

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home (St. John 19:26-27).

Mary and her family were present with the disciples at Pentecost and were also included in the Church at Jerusalem.

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. These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. (Acts 1:13, 14)

NOTE: All words in bold print in the following section refer directly to the disciples and church age believers (including Mary).

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord (including Mary) in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2:1-4).
.

And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved (Acts 2:42-47).

Mary, the Rapture, and the ETERNAL State

Mary eventually died and was buried and her soul and spirit received into her Savior's presence; as all blood brought saints of the Church age are in death; awaiting their new ETERNAL spiritual body (Psalm 116:15, Acts 7:55-60, 1 Cor 15, Cor.2 Cor. 5:6-8, Phil. 1:23, 1 John 3:1-4); and then (in the fullness of time) Mary will be FOREVER changed in the likeness of her Savior at the Rapture of the Church with all the blood brought saints of the Church age (1 John 3:1-4).

NOTE: All words in bold print in the following section refer to "church age" believers (including Mary).

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 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 shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 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. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:51-57).

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons (children) of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons (children) of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure (1 John 3:1-3).

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away (Rev. 21:3-4).

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever (Revelation 22:1-5).

And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of. life (Rev. 21:27).

And the Spirit and the bride (the Church) say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely (Rev. 22:17).

Conclusion

The Scripture verses presented here consisted of ALL the Scripture verses that mention Mary of Nazareth. The many traditions of Mary - her intercessory prayers, her immaculate birth and sinless life (or state of perfection), her perpetual virginity, her ascension into Heaven, her immaculate heart, etc. are NOWHERE TO BE FOUND in the Holy Scriptures. Relatively speaking, very little is mentioned about Mary in the New Testament. These false doctrines, teachings, fables, and traditions passed down through the centuries have originated and been enlarged upon by the traditions of men and the Catholic Church. These fables were not given by Almighty God; in fact, these teachings contradict the Holy Scriptures and their Divine authority. They are at the very heart of Satan's lies and deception to mislead men and women from faith in the Savior of the world.

To again clarify, this study was not done to belittle anyone's personal beliefs, but only to expose the heretical falsehoods pertaining to the church traditions and teachings of Mary of Nazareth. It is our deepest desire to encourage people to BELIEVE the Holy Scriptures and to REJECT any teachings and traditions of men which contradict the Holy Scriptures. May it be your sincere desire to acknowledge Mary as she is; a wonderful and faithful servant of Almighty God (Luke 1:28). May Jesus Christ ONLY be exalted and lifted up in our hearts and lives.

St. Peter stated in 2 Peter 1: 20-21: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. And St. Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:12-17: Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

The Bible, God’s infallible and immaculate Word, is the ABSOLUTE and FINAL AUTHORITY for all matters relating to spiritual truth (doctrine) about God, Jesus, sin, salvation, Mary, etc. May it be your sincere desire to be governed by the Holy Scriptures and NOT by the traditions of men (St. Matt. 15; St. Mark 7). The true (Biblical) Mary would surely want you to!.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

SELAH, MY CHILD

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, Selah; to pause, to consider, and think on these things! Throughout our pilgrim journey, Almighty God calls us not merely to pass through life's joys, trials, blessings, disappointments, victories, and tears, but to consider and meditate on what the Lord is teaching us through them all prayerfully. Nothing that ever enters the life of God's child is outside of His ETERNAL sovereign knowledge and agape loving care. Whether my circumstance appears favorable or unfavorable, our Heavenly Father can use it to disciple us, teach us, and continually conform us into the image of His precious Son (Rom. 8:28–29).

Like a faithful disciple sitting at the feet of his Master, we must learn to slow our hearts and pay attention to God's working. Selah! What is Almighty God teaching me? What does His Word say? How is He exposing something in my heart, strengthening my faith, correcting my thinking, or teaching me to depend more completely upon Him? As we meditate upon His Word and abide in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit faithfully teaches us and transforms our thinking. Instead of allowing the noise and confusion of this fallen world to control our minds, we choose to “think on these things”; things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report (Phil. 4:8).

Beloved, Selah! Stop and consider the wondrous faithfulness of Almighty God throughout your pilgrim journey. Remember His past faithfulness, recognize His present working, and confidently trust Him with everything yet ahead. Our ETERNAL Faithful Shepherd wastes absolutely nothing! Every mountain and valley can become a classroom of discipleship when our hearts are listening. So pause, meditate upon His precious Word, consider His wonderful works, and think on these things!

What has our Heavenly Father been showing me recently through His Word and His working in my life?
What can I intentionally set my mind upon today that is true, ETERNAL, and centered upon my precious Lord Jesus?

PRAYER

Heavenly Father,

Teach me to pause, listen, and recognize Your faithful working in my pilgrim life. Help me meditate upon Your precious Word, learn as Your disciple, and continually set my heart and mind upon Jesus.

We praise You, Heavenly Father, and thank You in Jesus' precious name; even so, come, Lord Jesus. Amen.

AI’s Consuming Dominance and Mankind’s ETERNAL Void, Vacuum and Black Hole Heart Without Their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator!

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 04:15:00 +0000

Lucifer can only succeed when humanity is at its basest and lowest point. That is when he is most powerful. His goal is just that: to reduce man spiritually and reduce him to a carnal and base state of non-absolutes and godless delusions to further his demonic agenda at all costs. It is ALL about him (Isa. 14:12-14)! He is fallen humanity's slave master and exploits man's fallen nature for his evil delusional designs of self-worship and absolute power (Isa. 14:12-14, Eph. 2:1-3; 6:10-12, 1 John 5:19).

The more that a man’s soul consumes, the more that a man’s soul needs to consume!

The fathomless depths of the abyss of man’s black hole soul are as a ravishing dragon ever seeking to be fulfilled and satisfied (Eccl. 3:11, Jude 1:10)! Today; there are EXPONENTIAL growing high tech conveniences and AI vain fillers for mankind's ETERNAL void; these EXPONENTIAL advances in technology, AI, accessibility to lawless and vile desires (sex, drink, drugs, etc), all types of the abundance of entertainment and media, material and produce products, and boundless liberties for one to gorge oneself's soul! In these last days, where everything is in an EXPONENTIAL and diverse abundance, one can observe the absolute emptiness of our day of godless mankind as materialism EXPONENTIALLY abounds. But in light of this EXPONENTIAL abundance, mankind is EXPONENTIALLY more depressed, distressed, and destitute of the TRUE happiness and joy that ONLY their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator can give them in RIGHTEOUSNESS (Psalm 1, John 15:1-7, Gal, 5:19-23)!

But in light of this EXPONENTIAL abundance, mankind is EXPONENTIALLY more depressed, distressed, and destitute of the TRUE happiness and joy that ONLY their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator can give them!

The more a man’s soul consumes, the more that a man’s soul needs to consume. The soul of man is ETERNAL. It was designed by Almighty God to “house” the ETERNAL God (Isa. 55:1-2, John 1:4, 4:14). My friend, what or who can replace Almighty God? When a man or woman leaves out their Creator from their temporal existence in this fallen and ravished world, they will ALWAYS end up serving their fallen, destructive appetites, all the while seeking to find fulfillment, deceiving themselves and reaping the horrific consequences thereof (Rom 1:18-32, Gal. 6:7, Heb. 13:4, Rev. 20:11-15). Oh! How we need Almighty God’s Savior!!! (Rom. 7:24-25)
.
Deliverance Only in Christ

My friend, there is NEVER any excuse for serving the vile desires of our heart (Jer. 17:9, Matt 15:16-19). Almighty God has sent His Son to deliver (rescue) us from ourselves and from His coming judgment on our outright display of the transgressions of fallen humanity (John 3:36, Rom 3:23, 7:24-25). The practice of non-absolutes, disorder, chaos, anarchy and lawlessness can NEVER bring about a utopia or harmony let alone peace in this fallen world (Isa. 48:22). One will NEVER enter into Almighty God’s presence and His RIGHTEOUS Heaven without true repentance and the reception of Divine reality and truth (John 3:3-17, 4:24, 1 Cor. 6:9, 15:50, Eph. 5:5, Heb. 13:4).
.

His Son came to earth, was born of a virgin, suffered, was crucified, and died to be YOUR propitiation unto righteousness.

Almighty God calls out to ALL today, “Repent and be saved for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!” Almighty God loves you with a PERFECT and ETERNAL love which transcends the limited confines of this little temporal world. (Rom. 10:4, 1 John 2:2, 4:10). My friend, I do not know how to say anything more wonderful than that!

In these EXPONENTIALLY growing high-tech and AI-dominated last days, mankind’s ETERNAL void, want, godless appetite, and rebellion know no boundaries (2 Tim. 3:1-6). My friend, may you truly be the one who embraces Divine reality in a superabounding evil, decadent, and licentious day. Only Almighty God can fill and satisfy the ravishing beast of mankind's soul (John 4). May you personally know Almighty God, the only Savior in these last days. You will NEVER be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Beloved, this is an absolutely incredible interview with Dr. Erwin Lutzer and Jack Hibbs on Karl Marx and Marxism in today's America. Dr. Lutzer's new book will be out in September, called Marx and Moody.

Pastor Jack sits down again with author Dr. Erwin Lutzer to discuss his newest book, Marx and Moody: Two Contemporaries. Two Gospels. Two Tombstones. One Choice. The book explores the lives of Karl Marx and D.L. Moody, the stark contrast between the two men, and what we can learn from their legacies. Don’t miss this fascinating episode and its timely message for our culture today.

Dear friends, whose influence has impacted this day's America and the present world more? It's all heading to one place, beloved (Rev. 6-19).

Even so, come, Lord Jesus, and Maanatha!

PLAY THE MAN

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, in these last days of increasing apostasy, spiritual darkness, and godlessness, Almighty God calls His blood-bought saints to “play the man”, to stand strong and courageously represent our precious Lord Jesus Christ! Like Joshua standing at the entrance of the Promised Land, our courage does not come from ourselves, but from knowing that our ETERNAL God is always with us: “Be strong and of a good courage...for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” (Josh. 1:6–9).

To “play the man” is to courageously gird up our loins, stand upon the unchanging Word of God, and faithfully shine as His lights in an increasingly dark world. We are Christ's ambassadors, His disciples, and His witnesses! Yet biblical courage is never fleshly toughness or human strength. Our strength flows from abiding in Jesus Christ and allowing His Word to abide richly within us. As we surrender ourselves to the Holy Spirit leading, He produces Almighty God’s beautiful RIGHTEOUS attributes of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance (Gal. 5:22–23).

Beloved, this is how we play the man in these last days! We stand courageously for truth while displaying the character of Jesus Christ. We refuse to be ashamed of our Lord, compromise His Word, or be overcome by the fear of man. Instead, filled with the Holy Spirit and abiding in our Faithful Shepherd, we courageously represent Him wherever He places us. Until our pilgrim race is finished and we see our precious Jesus face to face, may we “be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might” and faithfully shine His light in the darkness!

DEVOTIONAL QUESTIONS

Where is Almighty God calling me to courageously stand for His truth today?
Am I trying to “play the man” in my own strength, or am I abiding in Christ and depending upon the Holy Spirit?
Does my life courageously represent both the truth of God's Word and the beautiful character of Jesus Christ?

PRAYER

Heavenly Father,

Make me strong and of great courage through Your Word and Spirit. Help me to abide faithfully in Jesus, stand courageously for Your truth, and beautifully display the character of Christ in this dark world as His ambassador and light.

FAR GREATER THAN THESE

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, what is our greatest treasure? Dear friends, if we possessed all the lands of this fallen world, mountains of gold and precious jewels, or even somehow called the countless stars and trillions of galaxies our own, we would still possess nothing that could compare with Almighty God Himself! Every created thing came from Him and exists by His power, yet our ETERNAL Creator loved us with such incomprehensible agape love that He came into this fallen world and gave Himself for our sins! I don’t know how to say anything more wonderful than that! Jesus Christ, by whom God made the worlds and who upholds “all things by the word of his power,” is ETERNALLY far superior and greater than all these. Beloved, there is absolutely no comparison to Him and His creation (Heb. 1:2–3). He indeed is ETERNALLY far greater!

Almighty God has “set ETERNITY” within our hearts (Eccl. 3:11), and therefore no temporary possession can ever satisfy the deepest longing of the soul. Lost or saved, our soul is only ever looking for Almighty God, our ETERNAL Creator, to fill our ETERNAL void. This fallen world’s wealth fades, possessions perish, kingdoms disappear, and even this present creation will one day pass away. Yet our precious Jesus remains FOREVER! Dear friend, the greatest gift Almighty God could ever give us is Himself. It is the gift that will ETERNALLY never end! Through our salvation in Christ, we possess all of Christ. Jesus is our Savior, our ETERNAL righteousness, our ETERNAL Faithful Shepherd, our ETERNAL life, our ETERNAL inheritance, our chief agape love, and our ETERNAL possession and treasure. Nothing created can ever replace the ETERNAL precious One who created us and then shed His blood to redeem us! Oh, my beloved! How absolutely wonderful is that! No one in all of ETERNITY will EVER in FOREVER agape love you like Jesus!

Beloved, one glorious day we will begin to understand our ETERNAL precious Possession and Treasure more fully. It will take all of ETERNITY to just begin to scratch the surface of the ETERNAL treasures of our ETERNAL Treasure! What the Almighty has prepared for those who agape love Him is beyond anything this present world could ever offer (1 Cor. 2:9). In the ETERNAL ages to come, Almighty God’s servants “shall see his face” and reign with Him FOREVER and EVER (Rev. 22:3–5). Our greatest joy will not simply be heaven's wonders; it will be Jesus Himself! Therefore, beloved, hold the things of this temporal world very loosely and treasure your precious Treasure above all. Of every possession, every treasure, every star, and every galaxy, even Heaven’s glories we could ever imagine, our hearts can only joyfully proclaim: My precious Treasure and loving Savior is ETERNALLY FAR GREATER THAN THESE!

Is Jesus Christ truly my greatest treasure, far greater to me than everything this fallen temporal world could ever offer?
How does Almighty God's incomprehensible agape love help me to hold earthly possessions more loosely?
When I think about ETERNITY, do I look forward most of all to seeing and being with my precious Savior?

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for giving me the greatest treasure, Your precious Son. Help me, dear Lord, to hold the things of this world loosely and treasure my treasure, Jesus above every created thing.

I praise You and thank You, Heavenly Father, in Jesus' precious name; even so, come, Lord Jesus. Amen.

WE’RE GOING TO HEAR HIS WORD!

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, what a privilege and joy it is to gather together each Sunday morning with God's people and sing with great anticipation, “We're going to hear His Word! Hallelujah, preach it, brother; we're going to hear God's Word!” Dear friend, God’s faithful blood-bought disciple should come to God's house with a hungry heart, ready to listen, ready to learn, anticipating great fellowship and worship! Almighty God's precious desire is for us to let His Word do a wondrous work deep within our hearts, to bring us ever closer to Him in Spirit and truth! Jesus great prayer for us was, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” (John 17:17). Beloved, Almighty God's Word is absolutely crucial and essential for our spiritual growth and discipleship under Jesus our shepherd!

Biblical preaching is far more than just simply receiving biblical information. As the Word of God is faithfully proclaimed, the Holy Spirit takes its truth and applies it very personally to our hearts. He is continually in agape love, teaching us, correcting us, encouraging us, convicting us, strengthening our faith, renewing our minds, and continually conforming us into the very image of our precious Savior until we see Him face to face! Like the believers in the Book of Acts, we should gladly receive the Word and continue steadfastly in doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayers (Acts 2:41–42). When we come to God’s house expectantly, Almighty God is more than ready to speak to us through His written Word to change the way we live and to conform us to the dear image of His precious Son! How wonderful is that, dear friend!

Beloved, ultimately our excitement about hearing God's Word leads us to the ETERNAL Word of God, Jesus Christ Himself! He is the ETERNAL Word who became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:1,14). Therefore, every faithful sermon, every Bible study, every Sunday School lesson, and every personal time in Scripture should draw our hearts closer and closer to Him. Beloved, we do not merely want to know more about the Bible; an intellectual understanding of the Bible will never do any good for us without an abiding relationship to our True Vine. On the contrary, we want to know and possess our precious Lord Jesus more deeply; we want to by faith abide in Him more faithfully, and become more like Him! That beloved is called abiding discipleship! Jesus has called us to leave our nets and to become his abiding disciples and learners, not mere Christians. There are way too many “Christians” today and not enough disciples. So let us, beloved, enter into the House of the Lord with great joyful expectation and hungry hearts: why? For We're going to hear His Word!

Am I simply just hearing the Word, or am I allowing the Holy Spirit to apply the Word of truth to my daily life?

PRAYER

Precious Heavenly Father,

Give Your servant a hungry, passionate, desirous, and teachable heart to receive Your precious Word. Please use its faithful preaching through the power of Your Spirit to disciple me, change me, and draw me ever closer to my precious Jesus.

MY JESUS, ’TIS OF THEE

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, “My Jesus, ’tis of Thee” is the grateful song of a redeemed heart looking back upon the wonder of Almighty God's saving grace. As those once ETERNALLY lost in our sins and trespasses, as those once ETERNALLY separated from the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God, and without any hope in this fallen world, we had nothing within ourselves that could EVER redeem or rescue us (Gal. 1:4, Eph. 2:1-3). Yet our Heavenly Father first agape loved us, then drew us toward His precious Son, and through the glorious ETERNAL Gospel of Jesus Christ opened our eyes to our desperate need for Jesus, the propitiation and Savior of the world. Beloved, “We love him, because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19). Dear friend, what amazing grace from our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator! A lost sinner bound by death, to a brand new creation and a blood-bought child of Almighty God (2 Cor. 5:17-21)!

Beloved, as the child of God reflects upon their ETERNAL deliverance and their pilgrim journey through this fallen world, their heart overflows with glorious thanksgiving to their Savior and agape lover of their soul! The wondrous reality is that at the cross Jesus became our ETERNAL Savior, our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS, our ETERNAL Faithful Shepherd, our ETERNAL life, and our ETERNAL hope! Through faith in Jesus, we have now passed from ETERNAL death and separation unto ETERNAL life! We have now received the ETERNAL forgiveness of sins, and have been brought into the glorious family of God. We can now cry with all our being, “Abba, Father! Abba, Father!” Beloved, the more we begin to understand what we once were and what Almighty God has ETERNALLY given and made us in His precious Son, the more our hearts should overflow with praise, song, and thanksgiving for His incomprehensible goodness and amazing grace.

Beloved, “My Jesus, ’tis of Thee” becomes the testimony of our entire pilgrim journey. From sinner to saint, from ETERNAL death to ETERNAL life, from ETERNALLY lost to ETERNALLY found, and from a child of death and darkness to a child of life, light, and God; all was made possible by the Person and work of Jesus Christ! Dear friend, our precious Savior, who ETERNALLY saved us, continues now to disciple, shepherd, and transform us daily until that glorious day when we see Him face to face (1 John 3:1-3). Therefore, Beloved, with hearts filled with gratitude, let us sing of His goodness today and throughout all ETERNITY: My Jesus, ’tis of Thee, all things are now possible!

Yeshua Returns to Israel

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, throughout the Holy Scriptures, Yahweh's Word continually points forward to a day when Jesus Christ (Yeshua), Israel's promised Messiah, will return in ETERNAL power and glory to the very land where He first came in His humility. The very One who was rejected and crucified by His own will will return from the Right Hand of the Majesty on High as the rightful KING of kings and LORD of lords (Rev. 6-19:11-21)! In that day, at the very end of Jacob's trouble, will the remaining demonically oppressed inhabitants of Israel look upon the very One whom they rejected, crucified, and pierced, and mourn in great repentance, and receive Him by faith to themselves (Zechariah 12:10; Romans 11:26–27)!

Beloved, Yeshua's return is not only Israel's hope, but the hope of the whole world for redemption and restoration in RIGHTEOUSNESS. On that Day, Yeshua will bring in EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS, where there has only ever been demonic rebellion, oppression, and war, and establish His glorious kingdom FOREVER (Dan. 2:44; 7:13-14, Zech. 12-14). As believers today, we eagerly await His glorious appearing, faithfully proclaim His ETERNAL gospel, His Divine plan for Israel, and rejoice that every promise Almighty God has EVER made WILL be completely fulfilled in Yeshua Messiah.

We are to be the Lord Jesus Christ's co-labors, servants (slaves), joint-heirs, sheep, vessels, body, branches, the fragrance of LIFE, waterers, overcoming victors and more than conquerors, priest, and kings, workmanship, billboards, soldiers, bride, witnesses, salt, sent ones, ambassadors, prayer warriors, disciples, fishermen, ministers of reconciliation and lights; and we are to build as we serve our RIGHTEOUS Savior in love very wisely and circumspectly; with spiritual knowledge for His glory and honor!

We are to be the Lord Jesus Christ's co-labors, servants (slaves), joint-heirs, sheep, vessels, workmanship, body, branches, the fragrance of LIFE, waterers, overcoming victors and more than conquerors, priest, and kings, soldiers, salt, billboards, witnesses, sent ones, prayer warriors, ambassadors, disciples, bride, fishermen, ministers of reconciliation and lights; and we are to build as we serve our RIGHTEOUS Savior in love very wisely and circumspectly; with spiritual knowledge for His glory and honor (1 Cor. 10:31)! Beloved, He is our ONLY GREAT TREASURE and He is our EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD; for HE is our LIFE (Matt. 6:21, John 14:6, Gal. 2:20; 5:22-23; Col. 3:1-3)!

To sum up the Bema Seat judgment in one sentence would be to say of Almighty God our Father, "Did I find my Son OUTWORKED, EXPRESSED, and MANIFESTED in you in TRUTH, RIGHTEOUSNESS, and FRUIT/PRODUCT - Rom. 8:28-29, Gal. 2:20, Eph. 2:10, Phil. 2:12-13!"

When we serve Him and love Him in that way in RIGHTNESS and ALL SINCERITY, we already possess, demonstrate, and make known to all Who our EXCEEDINGLY GREAT TREASURE and REWARD is (Gen. 15:1, Psalm 119, Phil. 3:8-10; 2 Tim. 4:8, 1 John 3:1-3; 4:10, 19)! Thus will the rewards of the saints be after the Bema Seat of Jesus concludes! The works (GOLD, SILVER, PRECIOUS STONES), which remain after the FIRE TEST of Christ's RIGHTEOUS Person, will be the EXPRESSED LIFE of Jesus Christ the RIGHTEOUS outworked in us! For the FOUNDATION, FORMULAS of RIGHTEOUSNESS, FIRE, GOLD, SILVER, PRECIOUS STONES are the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS PERSON of JESUS CHRIST! Dearly beloved, IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS from ETERNITY past into ETERNITY future! Who can conceive such a WONDER! Glory to ALMIGHTY GOD in the HIGHEST FOREVERMORE and EVERMORE!!

Beloved, He is our ONLY GREAT TREASURE, and He is our EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD, for HE is our LIFE!; and when we serve Him and love Him in that way in RIGHTNESS and ALL SINCERITY, we already possess, demonstrate, and make known to all Who our EXCEEDINGLY GREAT TREASURE and REWARD is!

Beloved, it is tragic to say, and may Almighty God help us all, that many will be ashamed in His Presence on that day. For many will have NEGLECTED their Heavenly calling for the temporal delights and comforts that this fallen world and America have to offer, and many will build wrongly in unrighteousness and in ignorance. These will be saved by FIRE but with nothing to show for God's glory (1 Cor. 3:12-18). The thought will be on that day: how much did you really love Me and enjoy me for Who I am?

Going for the Gold for Almighty God's Glory!
.
Dear friends, ETERNAL victory is gained when a person puts his or her faith and trust in the Person of Almighty God (John 8:32-36, Rom. 8:35-39; Heb. 11:6, 1 John 5:1-5)! As believers in Jesus Christ, we can by faith go for the gold and win the victory through the many-faceted adversities and calamities that come our way. We know that Almighty God our Father indeed loves us and has a wonderful plan and purpose for our lives in this age to make us GREAT winners for His glory and not losers.

Listen to this promise: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:26).

Almighty God has a wonderful plan for you and me and wants us to overcome in His PERFECT WILL for our lives and be a winner for His glory (1 Cor. 10:31)! It is through Him, and by Him, we will have the victory!For He indeed is our VICTORY!

Remember your current position in Christ at the right hand of Almighty God, blessed with all spiritual blessings - Col 3:1-5, Eph 1:3)!

In these last days, may we be strong and of good courage and have faith in Almighty God. May we see - with the eyes of faith - past this physical world into the very throne room of Heaven, and be more than a conqueror in Christ and for Christ. May we go for all that Almighty God has called us to be for His Glory.

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Phil. 4:13)!

"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses" (1 Tim. 6:12)!

"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place" (2 Cor. 2:14)!

"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Cor. 15:57)!

"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us" (Romans 8:37)!

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Cor.10:31)!

"For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us" (2 Cor. 1:20)!

"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him" (1 Cor. 2:9)!

"Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing" (2 Tim 4:8)!

"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place" (2 Cor. 2:14).

Remember, Beloved: "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you [i.e., Christ], than he that is in the world [i.e., Satan and his minions]" (1 John 4:4).

Now go for the gold, beloved, for Almighty God's glory!! Godspeed!!

A Biblical Last Days Challenging Creation Message and Video on Divine Creation in Light of a 2 Peter 3:1-7’s Scoffer World - Accident or Design?

noreply@blogger.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Beloved, our dear friends at "Word of Truth Production" have created this amazing video which causes us to use our God-given common sense as we look at man's inventions versus Almighty God's highly complex creation and design (Gen. 1:1-3, Neh. 9:6; Prov. 3:19, Isa. 45:18, John 1:1-3, Rom. 1:18-32, 1 Cor. 8:6, Rev. 4-5)! The real objective biblical question that we need to ask all ourselves in these Last Days of EXPONENTIAL growth of man made technology; which provides vast abundant insight into the ETERNAL genius of the mind of Almighty God of ETERNAL Creator is this, "Are we a product of time and chance or have we been designed by our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator with an ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS calling, vocation, and purpose (Matt. 4:19, John 1:12, 2 Cor. 5:17-21)?" As you watch this powerful 30-minute video, may you be challenged to consider our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator, who is also the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Savior of the World (Gen. 1:1; John 1:1-14, Col. 1:15-17; Heb. 1:1-3)!
