1 Cor. 15:52  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.

Rapture and End Time News – World on the Verge of AI

Who is this guy? Have you ever heard of him? He is an advisor to Klaus Schwab, leader of the World Economic Forum (WEF). So what’s the big deal? Below is an excerpt taken from an article written by “Daily Mail” in the UK:

Yuval Noah Harari said AI like ChatGPT could attract worshippers to a new faith.

The world is on the verge of a new religion created by artificial intelligence, the historian Yuval Noah Harari has claimed. The academic – known for his bestselling book Sapiens – said software such as ChatGPT could attract worshippers by writing its own sacred texts.

Speaking at a science conference, he said AI had crossed a new frontier by ‘gaining mastery’ of our language and was now capable of using it to shape human culture.

‘This could become true very, very quickly, with far-reaching consequences.’

Speaking at the Frontiers Forum event in Switzerland, he warned machines now had the tools to ‘cocoon us in a Matrix-like world of illusions‘, referring to the 1999 sci-film film.

He said: ‘Contrary to what some conspiracy theories assume, you don’t really need to implant chips in people’s brains in order to control them or to manipulate them. For thousands of years, prophets and poets and politicians have used language and storytelling in order to manipulate and to control people and to reshape society. Now AI is likely to be able to do it. And once it can… it doesn’t need to send killer robots to shoot us. It can get humans to pull the trigger.

Calling for tighter regulation, he said: We need to act quickly before AI gets out of our control. Drug companies cannot sell people new medicines without first subjecting these products to rigorous safety checks.’ He added: ‘Similarly, governments must immediately ban the release into the public domain of any more revolutionary AI tools before they are made safe.’

Of course he doesn’t want AI to get out of the WEF’s control. They want to use AI to control the world. What seemed to be science fiction five years ago, is totally do-able today! They think they have knowledge but they totally lack biblical knowledge. God will destroy them because they would not turn to Him. (Hosea 4:6-7)

The end times will be filled with horrible deception. We cannot see it now but there is coming a time when an implant of some kind will be placed in the head which will control your thoughts. It’s not too far-fetched an idea knowing what we now know. But as the months and year(s) progress, it will be more realistic. How else will the antichrist be able to control the world and have them believe a lie? What seemed unrealistic at the time of the Apostle John is very much realistic today!

2 Thess 2:6-12  And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.  (7)  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.  (8)  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:  (9)  Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,  (10)  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  (11)  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:  (12)  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Will you be one to believe the lies? If you are one of those who takes the mark of the Beast during the Tribulation, there will be no turning back. You will be forever damned in Hell and the Lake of Fire! (Revelation 14:11) Whatever is implanted in your hand or forehead will cause you to believe the Antichrist and not God. Should you have a simple thought of possibly getting saved, that implant will remove the thought! You don’t think it’s possible? Well, we never thought that one day AI could write its own saced text either. Do NOT take today for granted. You could die tonight or you could miss the Rapture. There are no guarantees, Reader.

2 Cor 6:2  (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour? If no, your sins are not covered by His sacrificial offering of Himself. You have not been redeemed by His blood. It is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already.

Rapture and End Time News – China’s Use of Combat Robots

Matthew 24:7  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

We are seeing wars and rumors of wars gripping the world today. Of course, we can all agree that this has always been and is not really news. However, what we are seeing today are great nations coming together to obtain their goals of achieving power over the entire world. Klaus Schwab, a man who was obscure a few years ago, is now in the news more than ever. Bill Gates is involved with pandemics when he doesn’t even have a medical degree. It seems that at every turn, something new and/or weird is popping up. I have never heard more people say “what in the world is going on” than I do now!

Today’s news item is not any different. It’s unbelievable to have them sophisticated enough to go to combat. But that’s exactly what is happening. Can you imagine if the robot makes a mistake? There’s no accountability!

https://www.thedefensepost.com/2022/01/19/china-military-robot/

Jesus spoke of this and gave the Apostle John the awesome privilege of witnessing end time events. Imagine if you were John in the first Century trying to describe these drones and robots! How would he describe it since he’s never seen it before? It’s not hard to imagine this robot when you read:

Rev 9:9  And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.

Israel has a drone that beautifully describes John’s vision. Can you imagine in a few years how much more advanced these flying robots/drones will be?A hundred years ago, interpreters of Bible prophecy would have said this verse was symbolic. However, in light of today’s scientific progress, it has now become very much a fact and no longer can be interpreted as symbolic! Look at this drone and you can actually see why John would have described it the way he did. We most certainly can understand John’s visions in light of scientific progress. It brings Daniel’s prophecy true for today!

Dan 12:4  But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

The time is at hand, reader. Soon it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour?

Rapture and End Time News – Paganism

Paganism, spiritism, Satanism, Luciferianism – whatever “ism” you choose, they all trace back to the Tower of Babel. One of the descendants of Baal is Baphomet, which is very popular today in occult circles. The Satanic Temple set this statue in Little Rock, Arkansas as a protest to the Ten Commandments being placed on the grounds. Another one just like it is located in Detroit. Is it any wonder that these two cities have the highest crime rates? A simple Google search revealed:

With a crime rate of 73 per one thousand residents, Little Rock has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes – from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One’s chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 14.

Researchers compared 45 of the largest cities based on per capita homicides in Q4 2022 and per capita homicides in Q4 2022 vs. Q4 2021 and Q4 2020. Detroit ranked No. 3 on the list of homicides per capita.

I would say that it stands to reason why Little Rock and Detroit are two of the worst cities to live in. The devil has taken hold of their government and they are bowing to the gods of this world.

So who is this Baphomet? According to Britannica Encyclopedia, it is described as:

In his book Dogme et ritual de la haute magie (1861; Transcendental Magic: Its Doctrine and Ritual), the influential French occultist Éliphas Lévi created the Baphomet that has become a recognized occult icon. The book’s frontispiece was a drawing of Baphomet imagined as a “Sabbatic Goat”—a hermaphroditic winged human figure with the head and feet of a goat that is adorned with numerous esoteric symbols. Lévi describes the meaning of each element of the drawing, which is defined by its profound and pervasive duality. British occultist Aleister Crowley also adopted Baphomet, notably in his “Gnostic Mass.” More recently, the Satanic Temple commissioned a statue of Baphomet, which was unveiled in 2015 and then moved to various places as a protest against displays of Ten Commandments monuments in public spaces.

https://www.britannica.com/topic/Baphomet

Does this not bother you, Christian? This statue is not an idol per se but according to the artist, it represents “a symbol of women’s empowerment and an expression of support for abortion.” Abortion is the liberal’s “god” and New York State leads the way. This statue sits atop a courthouse in New York City!

It is no different than people offering their children to Molech, the god of child sacrifice. Women sacrificing the children in their womb for the sake of convenience! Laws have been drawn and awaiting approval to kill a baby after it has been born! What is so different about this practice with the one practiced in Leviticus 18:21???

In summary, we don’t have to look far to see paganism in our culture! We even see paganism in the Church! Christians taking part in “Christian yoga,” using crystals or smudging their home with burning sage. These all have their origins with paganism. Christians should not be taking part in anything that resembles what the world loves! In fact, that should be the Christian’s rule of thumb! The Bible tells us to stay away from the very appearance of ALL evil. (1 Thessalonians 5:22)

But what does the Bible say about these “gods” and statues?

Exo 20:2-5  I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.  (3)  Thou shalt have no other gods before me.  (4)  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:  (5)  Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

I was once Catholic and these verses hit me between the eyes when I was first born-again. Although Catholics will say they are not idols, they do bow down to them and even kiss them. Many say it is a gesture of reverence. However, we are not to revere anyone other than the Lord God. This is not trivial … it is not to be ignored. Bowing to a statue of Mary falls under the category of reverencing her as you would God. He says in verse 5 above that He is a jealous God. He won’t share His glory with any other. Catholics say they venerate Mary and do not place her equal with God. However, the Catholic Catechism states, “Mary is the one who helps us unravel divine revelation about the person of her Son Jesus.” This is the job of the Holy Spirit, not Mary, according to Jesus:

(Joh 14:26)  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

(1 Jn 2:27)  But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

The religions of the world add to the Word of God as well as to the plan of salvation. But James 1:27 tells us to keep ourselves unspotted from the world. If any religion says something different than the Bible, one must remove himself from that religion. The Bible is our plumb line, reader!

In these end times, we are seeing an overwhelming turn toward what the world considers “acceptable.” There is nothing acceptable if it is outside of the Word of God. I’m believe in protecting our environment but I will not make it my god as the world is doing now. They worship the environment more than the One who created that environment!

Romans 1:21-28  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  (22)  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,  (23)  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.  (24)  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:  (25)  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.  (26)  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:  (27)  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.  (28)  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

This is exactly what is going on today. The longer one waits to get saved, the more likely that person will be turned over to a reprobate mind. The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life.

Rapture and End Time News – SatanCon 2023

Satan is alive and well today. One only has to look around, listen to the news and one can see the devil’s influence. He is known as the prince of the power of the air and he knows that his time is short. This new series will cover end time news items and where the Bible speaks of them.

Today’s topic is about Boston’s annual SatanCon conference and its depraved agenda! I never thought I would find myself writing about this horrible topic. But it is one that is going to become more and more prevalent in our society. The Apostle Paul warned us that in the end times people would adopt the doctrines of devils and would listen to seducing spirits. It sounds as though this is already at work today, and it is!

1 Tim 4:1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

It’s not bad enough that the devil’s influence is all around us, but now his practices are openly celebrated in our country. Since the 1960’s, we’ve opened the door to more and more satanic influences and they are multiplying by the day. Where does this doctrine come from? One of the Christian evangelists who was outside the conference center made this comment:

Kubal said they were surprised to learn during their conversations with some of the Satanists that many of them had been raised as Christians, but “maybe had a hurt from the church and now had navigated away from the church.”

https://www.foxnews.com/us/christian-evangelists-bostons-satancon-claim-about-100-people-converted-were-in-battle

It’s sad that children who were raised in the church have left the church because of false preachers; wolves in sheep’s clothing they are! This is how Satan does his work. Jesus spoke of this in Matthew 7:15! The devil loves nothing more than to put one of his men in the pulpit and watch that church fall apart. And even better, he watches as lives are ruined because of it.

At the conference, a Bible and a Thin Blue Line flag were torn up, which represents law enforcement. The very epitome of authority is represented in these two items and they are hated by satanists.

Discipline in the home has reached an all-time low due to the deterioration of the home. There are 10.6 million one-parent households in the U.S. today. There is a rebellious covering over our nation enveloping our cities and we wonder from where it is coming. Satan’s influence is all over this globe (1 Peter 5:8) and as his followers gain more and more influence, we can expect a great falling away after the Rapture. Then Satan will have full rule over this earth and the wrath of God will come upon it like no other time before.

2 Th 2:3  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour?

Comfort During the End Times – Day 30

The Bible has an ongoing theme for God’s chosen people, Israel. We see it in today’s verse and we see it in the numerous verses below. One thing is for certain, God has never abandoned His people nor will He ever! Even during the Tribulation, God will pour out His mercy on His people giving them every opportunity to acknowledge their Messiah, Jesus!

(Jos 8:1)  And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:

(Jos 10:25)  And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.

(1 Chron 28:20)  And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

(2 Chron 20:17)  Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

(Isa 41:10)  Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

(Jer 30:10)  Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

(Jer 46:27)  But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

Multiple times, God has told His people not to fear nor to be dismayed. This word, dismayed, means disheartened or deprived of courage. If there has ever been a people who has been persecuted in this world, it is the Jewish people. God knew their frame because He created man. He knew they would get discouraged and that they would need Him to remind them who He is and what He can accomplish! When Christ came in the flesh to speak the words of God, He opened up the way of salvation to all man, not just the Jews. Now the Church can reap the same blessings from today’s verses because God never changes. The Church does not replace Israel, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying God’s character cannot change and He blesses His people; therefore we will be blessed as we work for the Kingdom!

(Mal 3:6a)  For I am the LORD, I change not;

Are you troubled today? Are you possibly the person who has been deceived by the world’s lies about what gender you are? Have you crossed that line and fear that you may have gone too far and God will never forgive you? There IS forgiveness to be had! That forgiveness can be found at the foot of the cross of Jesus when a sinner acknowledges that He died for sins just like yours – in fact, for all sin. There is no sin too great that He cannot forgive! But all you have to do is accept that forgiveness, repent of your sins and live for Him; proclaiming Him to all who will listen. Repentance is the key. You don’t see the sinner’s prayer in the Bible. But what you DO see in the Bible is a call to repent! (Matthew 3:2, Matthew 4:17, Mark 1:16, Luke 13:3, 5) You may think it’s too late to turn back the clock, but it is not! Take it from someone who was ready to commit suicide, but God rushed someone to my side to tell me about His saving power!

Mat 11:28-30  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  (29)  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  (30)  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

There is truth to be found, reader! The truth and the future of our world is carefully written in the Bible so we could see what was to come. Friend, if you’re not sure where you will spend eternity, please settle the matter. Christian, if you’re not living your life for the Lord, there’s not much time left. We need to give the lost hope as we have hope! Friend, don’t be willfully ignorant of the end times. (2 Peter 3:5) If you are not born-again, confess your sins and repent of them. The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour?

Comfort During the End Times – Day 29

Are the recent news on a possible all out war with Russia and the Ukraine upsetting you? Are you afraid that nuclear war is possible and even on the horizon? It’s possible that this will happen before the Rapture. But how do we deal with that?

Today’s verse sums it up pretty nicely, if you ask me. God does not sleep and He is always aware of what is happening everywhere, let alone with me. What’s the worst thing that can happen? That we’re killed and we go to Heaven? We could die on our way home from grocery shopping. God is faithful all the time! He never changes His mind and His promises are forever!

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

There is no sense in worrying about what has not happened. One thing we can be certain about is that God already knows what’s going to happen and His will is going to be accomplished. His Word will stand firm and nothing can stop prophecy from happening, amen?

Isa 46:10  Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

No amount of worrying will stop what is to come in the Tribulation. But to the Christian, we don’t need to worry; the Rapture can happen at any moment and we will be taken out of the turmoil which is about to happen on the entire earth! We can already see the spirit of antichrist at work around us. Our world has gone crazy and that’s with the Holy Spirit’s restraint! Can you imagine just how awful the world will become once the Church is gone and the Holy Spirit’s restraint is removed? Satan and his demons will wreak havoc on this earth and in the hearts of men.

2 Thess 2:7  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

One only has to read the Book of Revelation beginning in Chapter 6 to see that there are grievous judgments awaiting a God-forsaken world! Why would one want to reject a merciful God? It is man’s own stubborn and prideful heart, as old as Cain, that will be his downfall!

The truth and the future of our world is carefully written in the Bible so we could see what was to come. Friend, if you’re not sure where you will spend eternity, please settle the matter. Christian, if you’re not living your life for the Lord, there’s not much time left. We need to give the lost hope as we have hope! Friend, don’t be willfully ignorant of the end times. (2 Peter 3:5) If you are not born-again, confess your sins and repent of them. The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent.

Comfort During the End Times – Day 28

Psa 91:14  Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.  

Good morning, Reader! Today’s verse truly bless my heart because they reveal to me a very personal God. God is not a God who sits in Heaven and doesn’t pay attention to what happens to His creation. God loves His creation so much that He created Him to live forever in a beautiful garden. He did not create robots but created male and female to fellowship with Him. Genesis 3:8 said that the Lord walked in the garden and spoke with Adam and Eve. We know this was Jesus because John 1:3 says Jesus made all things. John 1:1 calls Jesus the Word of God. Remember the hymn, “In the Garden”?

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses

And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

God desires fellowship with His creation and gave us His Word until we can see Him face-to-face. Friend, you are not walking this earth at this moment in time all by yourself. The same God from the Garden of Eden is here with you. The same Creator, Jesus Christ, died for your sins – He took yours and my sins to the cross and nailed them there. (Colossians 2:14) There is no sin that has not been nailed to that cross. Those that are born again (John 3:3, 3:7) are no longer under condemnation. (Romans 8:1) Jesus said that those who don’t believe are condemned already. (John 3:18) We are born with sin and therefore are already condemned. It is not until we believe on the name of the Lord Jesus and get saved that we can claim Romans 8:1. He knows you by your name! This alone should bring every believer great comfort!

We are able to take comfort knowing that the same God who created us desires to take our burdens and leave them with Him. There are days when life will seem unbearable to you. In those days, the devil loves nothing more than to make our worries and anxieties into yokes. You can see clearly here in this picture that the yoke has two holes, one for the Lord and one for you. Normally the farmer puts one strong animal in one side and the weaker on the other. This way, the burden is not so great on the weaker one and the stronger one can lead. The devil wants us in his yoke, which is always geared to place the burden on us! He wants to weigh us down so we can take our eyes off the Lord. He wants us to submit to him so we are no earthly good for the cause of Christ. But Matthew 11:28-30 tells us that Jesus’ yoke is easy and His burden is light. He also tells us that we shall find rest in His yoke.

Friend, during these end times, we believers must take God’s Word literally and apply His Word to our lives. Without it, we will fail. But when we use the salve of God’s Word and apply it to our lives, Jesus will give us blessed rest during troubled times. We absolutely need that rest so we can show a lost and dying world what it is like to be in the midst of chaos yet be at perfect peace and rest in Jesus. We know this rest first because of His shed blood for our sins and that we are forgiven. But secondly, we know this rest because He has promised to come take His Bride before the wrath of God is set upon this God-forsaken world! (1 Thess. 1:10, 2:19, 4:16-18, 5:1-11)

There is truth to be found, reader! The truth and the future of our world is carefully written in the Bible so we could see what was to come. Friend, if you’re not sure where you will spend eternity, please settle the matter. Christian, if you’re not living your life for the Lord, there’s not much time left. We need to give the lost hope as we have hope! Friend, don’t be willfully ignorant of the end times. (2 Peter 3:5) If you are not born-again, confess your sins and repent of them. The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour? If no, your sins are not covered by His sacrificial offering of Himself. You have not been redeemed by His blood. It is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already.

Comfort During the End Times – Day 27

Have you ever tried to find comfort through other people or things? How about through food or drugs/alcohol? If the Lord has healed you of these things, you know that the only true comfort is from the Lord Jesus Christ! It is the only comfort that lasts. Everything else is temporary. My father was an alcoholic and didn’t get saved till late in life. He was sober from 1965 to 1981. After all those years, he started to drink again but this time, he spiraled quickly. My brother led him to the Lord and that healed him for good! Salvation can be easily found when one simply opens his Bible and searches for it. My recommendation to the one who is lost is to read the Gospel of John three times. You will find Jesus there!

Today’s verses give us the pattern in which to follow when the things we’ve tried to find comfort in don’t work. We also must protect ourselves from the scoffers of the world and those that are always negative. The Apostle Peter warned us that these types of people would be prevalent in the end times. We see this all around us today. One only has to turn on the television and we are bombarded by sinfulness.

2 Peter 3:3-4  Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,  (4)  And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

With today’s social climate, people do not want to hear about God. The knowledge of science has taken over and has become the world’s “god,” if you will. The world has been deceived into believing that climate change is at a catastrophic point and will do whatever it takes to move that agenda forward. People are even listening to a child on that very topic! Greta Thunberg became an overnight sensation and had not even graduated high school. She does not hold a college degree but yet the world’s leaders invited her to speak on the topic of climate change! My word, can we be any more naive? The world has totally gone insane. The powers that be are pushing an agenda that will bring a one-world government into power. These same powers want to deceive in order to accomplish the goals of the very devil himself. Yes, Satan is behind the climate change agenda – he has influenced those same world leaders into deceiving the many. God told us that this would happen. God said that the world would worship creation instead of the Creator:

Rom 1:21-25  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  (22)  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,  (23)  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.  (24)  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:  (25)  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

It should not come as a surprise that the world today is worshipping nature! It happened in the Old Testament and it is happening today! (Ecclesiastes 1:9) There’s nothing new, my friend. People are worshipping “mother” earth (Gaia) just as they were thousands of years ago. The whole climate change topic has evolved into government overreach and its off shute, i.e. countries forcing electric vehicles. The science shows that lithium batteries take more resources to build and are cost prohibitive to the owner. This is all done in the name of climate change.

Friend, all of this is pointing to one thing and that is a one-world government. As Christians, we see this playing out in Daniel and Revelation. These are exciting times for believers but not so exciting for those who deny God or don’t believe in Jesus Christ. The times ahead, especially after the Rapture of the Church, will be the most horrible time ever to happen on this earth. (Matthew 24:21) In the very same verses above, we see that people will dishonor their own bodies! Who would have thought that a man would try to become a woman! The world has gone mad!

There is truth to be found, reader! The truth and the future of our world is carefully written in the Bible so we could see what was to come. Friend, if you’re not sure where you will spend eternity, please settle the matter. Christian, if you’re not living your life for the Lord, there’s not much time left. We need to give the lost hope as we have hope! Friend, don’t be willfully ignorant of the end times. (2 Peter 3:5) If you are not born-again, confess your sins and repent of them.

Comfort During the End Times – Day 26

Good morning! If you think you aren’t important to God, you have it all wrong. You are unique to God. He created you with a unique fingerprint and a unique DNA strand. The devil wants you to believe in evolution so people can believe that they are just a descendent of a blob. But God knows every thought you have ever thought or will think in your future! Those are a lot of thoughts! It doesn’t end there, my friend. God knew you even before you were in your mother’s womb!

Psa 139:13-16  For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.  (14)  I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.  (15)  My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.  (16)  Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

Isn’t that beautiful? The same God who created the universe and all that is in it knows you intimately! He knew every body part that grew inside your mother. You are special to Him; so special that He sent Jesus Christ to take on your sins so you would be saved! (Romans 5:8) Christ did this even while you were yet a sinner! He didn’t expect you to clean up your life. If you could have done so, it would mean that your own works could get you into Heaven but we know that isn’t so. (Eph. 2:8-9) That is enough to make you praise the Lord for all He has done for us! This is enough to bring comfort to the one who is discouraged.

Are you discouraged today, Christian? If yes, reflect on the day salvation was yours and be thankful! God has not forgotten you. It may seem as though He is silent in your calamity but He is most certainly working in the background. Romans 8:28 tells us that ALL things work together for good to them that love God. However, the verse doesn’t end there… it continues to say “to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Friend, the Lord has a purpose for you. You have a purpose in life – your main priority is to fear Him (honor Him with reverence) and keep His commandments. (Ecclesiastes 12:13) As believers, we desire to sin less and to keep His commandments because the Word says that none of them are burdensome. They are there to teach us, guide us and help us to live godly lives in order to honor Him! (1 John 5:3) By doing this, others will see God in us! We are to be walking Bibles for the lost world to see.

If you’re a believer and reading this today, you know all these things above. But as an unbeliever, what I’ve written is foreign to you and you probably think I’m off my rocker. However, as the days are getting darker and more evil, it is all the more important that you get saved because things are about to get even darker and more evil. You will have no one to cling to as you experience the most horrific time ever.

Mark 13:19  For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

As believers, we must be a lighthouse to the lost – pointing them to the light of the Word of God. We must warn them of those dangerous times ahead! We have the whole manual that tells us what is to come. How comforting that is for the believer!! We are not to be caught unaware but we are to stand ready and watching for the appearance of our Lord and Saviour!

We need to give the lost hope as we have hope! Friend, don’t be willfully ignorant of the end times. (2 Peter 3:5) If you are not born-again, confess your sins and repent of them. The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour?
