Rapture and End Time News – Truth is out there: UFOs take center stage in Washington

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

We know we are in the end times because the news media, the government, and the buzz on social media are all talking about the same thing: UAP’s (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) or UFO’s as they were previously called. They are even holding congressional meetings over the topic.

An unprecedented report by a special task force of the Navy, released a year ago, documented 144 UFO sightings that occurred only between 2004 and 2021. The Pentagon doesn’t exactly know what they are and there’s no evidence to suggest they were sent by aliens planning a covert invasion. But when an official U.S. intelligence report categorizes them as “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” (UAP), it’s a game changer.

In my personal opinion, we are not dealing with creatures from another planet or galaxy.

Eph 6:12  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.

According to Strong’s Concordance, the word “high” here does not mean people of stature.

epouranios
ep-oo-ran’-ee-os
From G1909 and G3772; above the sky: – celestial, (in) heaven (-ly), high.

Strong’s concordance

Notice Paul says this is spiritual wickedness. I firmly believe that these UAP’s are the fallen angels who were cast out of Heaven when Lucifer rebelled and took a third of the angels with him. (Isaiah 14:12, Revelation 12:3-4) I’m also of the opinion that the devil’s plan is falling into place and he is setting everything up to be able to give the right excuse to explain away the disappearance of the church at the Rapture.

People will believe what they are told when it’s plastered all over the news and social media. There are still a few today who do the research and question, but it won’t be so after the rapture! They will believe the lies because the Bible says they will.

2 Thess 2:11-12  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.

Don’t be one of those who will be damned because you did not believe the Bible. All our answers are in there, including what’s going on in these end times. Not once has the Bible been wrong! Not once!

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 16:31, Rom 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 – AI Generated News

By

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

When will Artificial Intelligence (AI) peak? When will AI be too much for man to handle? I believe we have merely scratched the surface and can expect a lot more unbelievable accounts involving AI. I believe the thing that most concerns me is that the data from which AI gathers information is only as good as the scientists’ and engineers’ data sets.

Back in 2020, a group called the Activist Group Extinction Rebellion produced a fictional video address speech (referred to as deepfake) by Belgian prime minister Sophie Wilmès on Covid 19. I won’t go into what the speech said because that is not the point. The point is that AI was able to manipulate her address to say things she did not actually say. You cannot believe what you see because it could be a deepfake.

Today, we are seeing more usage for AI and I don’t doubt we will also see an increase in the various ways it can be applied. Now imagine its application in churches and synagogues around the world? What will the next online sermon be? The pandemic confined people to their homes and Christians looked for sermons they could watch online to get their spiritual meal. One of the good results of the pandemic was that churches began putting their services online for those who could not attend. I for one was grateful to be able to watch services online when we could not go in person. Now, can you imagine an online AI generated sermon? They look so real and you would have no way of knowing that it wasn’t. Sophie Wilmès’ address wasn’t real and I dare say I would not have been able to tell that it was not her!

So what is the truth? One thing for certain is that Jesus is and we can trust the Bible in PRINTED form to have accurate information. If I did not own several, I would be buying a Bible today before they are replaced with AI generated ones.

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

The devil will surely use this to benefit himself and to move his agenda forward. He wants to be the ruler of this world as well as the ruler of every individual he can get under his control. His goals are easy to see when you are a Christian. However, after the Rapture, a strong delusion will be released on this earth. The Holy Spirit’s restraint will be removed and spiritual darkness will overwhelm the world.

2 Thess 2:11-12  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.

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 16:31, Rom 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 23

In Comfort During the End Times, Devotionals

Psa 138:1-2  A Psalm of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.  (2)  I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Good morning! The past few days have been absolutely beautiful near the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia! God’s handiwork is evident everywhere I look. Just imagine, the Creator of all things must absolutely love color! Just look around you! We are so blessed – and it reminds me of what life will be like when the Lord creates a new heaven and a new earth! (Isaiah 64:4, 1 Cor. 2:9)

You may think that this is way far into the future but, friend, it is not. We are seeing the birth pains of the end times. The Bible calls this the beginning of sorrows. (Matt. 24:8) Let’s see what Jesus said:

Mat 24:4-8  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.  (5)  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  (6)  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.  (7)  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.  (8)  All these are the beginning of sorrows.  

We have seen many men proclaim to be Jesus Christ – one only needs to Google it and you’ll see the 20th Century had a bunch! Just like labor pains, there will be more to come. Wars and rumours of wars are all around us today. The Middle East is in such unrest at this moment! Israel is at war at the moment and we can see the building up of a great war to come! Jesus said that all these things must come to pass before the end comes. The Rapture of the church (made up of born-again believers) will happen before that 7-year Tribulation. It’s every Christian’s blessed hope as he/she awaits the return of the Lord, Jesus Christ, in the air! After the Tribulation, Jesus Christ will come as a conquering King and He will destroy the armies of the antichrist! (Revelation 19:11-16)

If you’re a scoffer, you’re part of that end times prophecy! (2 Peter 3:3-7) God’s Word WILL stand and all of the prophecies for the end times in the Bible will come to past because God magnifies His Word above His own Name!!! (Psalm 138:2) Every single prophecy in the Bible up until today has been fulfilled. Every single prophecy about the future will happen. God is not a liar. If you don’t believe now, you may not believe later because God will send a strong delusion and you will believe lies. (2 Thess. 2:11-12)

Does this disturb you? I hope it does if you aren’t saved. But to the born-again believer, it should be exciting because you know you won’t be here to experience the Tribulation. God loves the church, the bride of Jesus Christ. He will not cause her to experience the Tribulation – Christ will come for her and receive her to Himself. (John 14:3)

Despite the horrible things going on in this world at this moment, believers can rest because the best is yet to come for us!

This should bring you great comfort, even though you’re going through trials at this time. There’s always something for the Christian to be excited about when one thinks about the future! We have no need to fear!

Our job is to be a light to this lost and dying world. We need to give them 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 16:31, Rom 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?
