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.
(2 Th 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.
Today’s Bible verse is a good example of how the Holy Spirit will work during the Tribulation. He will not only restrain, but He will do so much more. Because of all that His role entails, it helps us to understand the significance of His role during the Tribulation.
I once did a study on the Holy Spirit’s role in our lives and it was such a blessing to me. I’ve listed them below because I believe that it opens our eyes at how significant His role is. For you to interpret 2 Thessalonians 2:7 properly, you need to know what the Holy Spirit does for the Church. Please take a moment to read the bullets and please look up each Bible verse reference:
He seals believers unto the day of redemption (Eph. 1:13 and 4:30)
He helps us in weakness and intercedes for us (Rom. 8:26-27)
He makes believers new and gives us eternal life (Rom. 8:10-11)
He sanctifies believers and enables them to bear good fruit (Gal. 5:16-25)
We can easily see the Holy Spirit at work today in the Church, both in history and currently. He restrains (he who now letteth) the devil from totally taking over the world with his evil influence. But once He is taken out of the way, the devil is no longer held back. During the Tribulation, the devil will have free reign and his evil deeds will be everywhere. Do you understand this? The Tribulation cannot begin until the Holy Spirit who restrains the power of the evil one “be taken out of the way.” This happens at the Rapture. This doesn’t mean that the Holy Spirit not be present at all. After all, He is God and is omnipresent. The Holy Spirit has taken residence in each born-again believer and once His restraining power (through every believer) is taken out of the way, those born again believers will be taken out of the way as well. Why do I know this? I know this because Jesus said that the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, will abide with us FOR EVER.
(Joh 14:16) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
That is why we don’t see the Holy Spirit working in the same manner in the New Testament as we do in the Book of Revelation. His role will be just as it was in the Old Testament. During that time, He anointed prophets and worked through them, along with priests, judges and kings. He will do the same with the two witnesses (who will perform great miracles), the 144,000 men from the twelve tribes of Israel (Revelation 14:4), who will spread the news of salvation to a wicked world.
Does this excite you, reader? It surely does me! But to the one who is not saved, it is a different story. Friend, it is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved.

Good morning! The topic of the Rapture excites me and stirs my spirit! I hope it is a blessing to all who read it. God does not leave His children to despair during these times of what is happening in our Country today. The times are changing so rapidly and there’s fear in the hearts of mankind: fear of the unknown! When is the next pandemic going to happen and where is it going to lead us? Are we going to remain hostages in our own homes? Are people going to be restricted from purchasing even the basic necessities of life if they are not vaccinated, or if they don’t convert to digital currency? Will citizens lose their freedoms in order to corral them? Americans, and the world for that matter, have no idea what is to come. But the born-again Christian isn’t looking to this world for his hope. We look to Christ! Why? Let’s look and see.
The Rapture is an event that will definitely happen. The timing of the Rapture is uncertain but the event itself is most surely going to happen. This is why it is considered to be imminent. The Thessalonians thought it had already happened and Paul addresses that in 2 Thessalonians.
However, the Scriptures below tell us that it is as definite as Christ’s resurrection. Without Christ’s resurrection, one would have no hope!
1 Thess 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
It is the Word of God, reader! Paul taught them about the Rapture and God saw fit to include this topic in the Bible through His Holy Spirit. (John 14:26) Friend, Christ does not leave us hopeless! He left us with His Word to encourage us during these end times! If we are blessed enough to be alive at the time of the Rapture, we will not see death! How exciting is that!
1 Th 4:15 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.
Every single detail in God’s Word will be fulfilled.
Matt. 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Luke 16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
It is said that 6,000 prophecies in the Bible, and nearly 80% of those prophecies have occurred without failure or error. The remaining nearly 20% will be fulfilled because God’s Word in Matthew and Luke above say so. The Church experienced God’s mercy and grace by providing a Saviour. But God’s judgment must still take place because it is part of His Word. He magnifies His Word above His name!
Psa 138:2 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.
This truly defines how important that every single thing in God’s Word must be fulfilled! The Rapture is no different. The Rapture is only for those who are truly born-again and live accordingly. To the one who claims he is a Christian but does not separate himself from sin, he is not a true believer. If he is disobedient to the Word, then he is considered a part of the children of disobedience.
Eph. 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Eph. 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Col. 3:6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
Anyone can believe in God – in fact, the devils believe in Him, but that does not make them saved! In fact, they tremble!
James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Check yourself, reader. If you have indeed been born again, you will strive to live the Christian life according to the Bible. If you are not, sure, make sure! If you know that you are not living according to the Bible, then you are considered as part of the children of disobedience. A born-again believer walks after the Holy Spirit’s influence. This is why the Church will not be experiencing the Tribulation’s wrath of God.
Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
If you are a born-again Christian and have never studied this out, I hope you are blessed by it and encouraged in your heart. If you are not born again, I urge you to settle the matter right now! Friend, it is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved.

Psa 119:24 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.
My love of lighthouses goes back to when I was first saved in 1980. I look at a lighthouse as Christ shining His light on my heart and illuminating His word and love. I would find peace and solace whenever I went to Heceta Head Lighthouse in Florence, Oregon. The view is spectacular, no matter where you stood! When I was at the shoreline, there were those three beautiful and large rocks in the foreground. As I climbed the hill toward the lighthouse, the view below was beautiful. But the view from this angle (behind the lighthouse) takes my breath away. It is there I could imagine sailors trying to navigate their ship during a storm or through dense fog.
My friend, it is that thought that draws me to the Saviour! He is my lighthouse who navigates me through the storms of life. Little did I know then what I would go through in the future with my husband’s illnesses. I’m glad I didn’t know because I surely would have gotten discouraged. But at the time, the Lord gave me exactly what I needed, when I needed it. Today’s verse truly describes my heart’s journey through my Christian life: Jesus is my delight and my counselor.
Can this be any more exciting???!!! Jesus is the fulfillment of the law. All the laws, precepts, testimonies, etc. are fulfilled through Him. Is Jesus Christ your delight and your counselor? Are you easily sidetracked because of today’s political climate and evil world? Our world has changed, no doubt. What is evil is now called good and what is good is called evil. Christians have the wonderful blessing of possessing God’s very words and turning to those words for direction, counsel and peace.
Psalm 119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
Do you see that? Nothing from God’s word offends those who live by it. God’s Word points out our sins and leads us to repentance over them. We must take counsel in every book and chapter of the living word of God. Jesus’ Spirit breathed inspiration in its pages. The world doesn’t believe that the bible is real. Their cold hearts depend on man’s reasonings. But the Bible IS a living, breathing book and it illuminates God’s words in our hearts – at least for those who are seeking.
2 Peter 1:19-21 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 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.
The child of God is able to discern what God wants us to learn because that child possesses the Spirit of God within him. The Spirit will teach us what Christ wants us to know.
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. Neh 9:20 Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst. Mat 10:19-20 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. (20) For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. Luk 12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. 1Jn 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.
Therefore, Christian, is Jesus your delight and counselor? He should be! Let Him be your lighthouse! If you happen to be reading this searching for comfort and direction; if you are not a born-again Christian, it is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved.

Kurt Mahlburg, an Australian Christian writer and author, said it best: “Who needs facts when we have thought police like GARM?” Indeed! Of course the World Economic Forum would have this organization under their umbrella. Responsible media is an oxymoron for brainwashing the world into what they want you to think.
The Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) dubs itself “a cross-industry initiative established by the World Federation of Advertisers to address the challenge of harmful content on digital media platforms and its monetization via advertising”. Liking what it saw, the World Economic Forum gobbled up GARM as a “flagship project” in its “Platform For Shaping the Future of Media, Entertainment and Culture” just months after the project’s launch in 2019.
Kurt Mahlburg
It’s not as if they are hiding their agenda, Reader! They are putting their goals out there for all to see!
GARM is the Global Alliance for Responsible Media. They’re a collective of marketers, media agencies, media platforms, tech companies, and industry associations who created a standardized framework to help identify and address potential harmful content online and through social media.
So how can Christians know the difference between deception and truth? It is solely obtained from reading the Word of God.
2 Tim 3:12-17 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. (13) But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. (14) But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; (15) 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. (16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (17) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
People claiming to be Christians don’t read the Bible and expect to pull through without singeing their garments. Jeremiah had the same problem in his day. But as believers, we should not be devoid of knowledge. God has given us His instruction manual in the Bible and everything in life and what to do can be found in its pages.
Jer 32:33 And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
As believers, we have the Holy Spirit of God residing within us and He teaches us all things through the Bible. Christians have no excuse.
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.
Social media, advertisements and the news media have sought to deceive the masses for a long time now. There is a world-wide agenda and that is to bring in the one-world government and the one-world church. It’s all part of the devil’s plans and his plans will be accomplished. However, the devil’s plans are all part of God’s great design to cast him into the Lake of Fire once and for all!
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.

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. (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?

Psalm 22:7-8 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, (8) He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
Rise and shine 😊! Even though we are close to the end of October, we can already see the signs of Winter approaching near the Blue Ridge Mountains. I don’t know what it is about Winter that makes me feel as though we are nearing the end of our seasons. I suppose it is because everything goes into a dormant state, leaves falling, grass turning brown, etc. I believe it’s a good analogy as to where we are in prophetic times, don’t you agree?
We are reaching the end of the world as we know it. The Rapture can happen at any time and we are seeing the world heading toward a one-world government and religion. Why do I say that? The wars and rumors of wars are upon us (Matthew 24:6, Mark 13:7) and ecumenism is spoken of in the news as if it is something good! This article makes it quite clear that the world is pushing forward to unite all religions by creating a platform, the Abrahamic Family House, that unites Jews, Christians and Islam. The Catholic Pope is leading this effort with Ahmed El-Tayeb. The Abrahamic Family House will house St. Francis of Assisi Church, Imam Al-Tayeb Mosque and Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue. Wow! Just wow! Even Wikipedia’s description of the Abrahamic Family House is disconcerting:
The complex seeks to represent interfaith co-existence, preserves the unique character of the religions represented and build bridges between human civilization and the Abrahamic messages
Friend, if this doesn’t wake you up as to where we are in the end times, I don’t know what will!
Let’s get back on point to see how Jesus fulfilled today’s Scriptures about the Messiah. In my opinion, today’s verses make it quite clear that Jesus did in fact fulfill this prophecy. I understand that as Christians, we are looking back and have the full knowledge of what happened. But we must remember that Israel had the Old Testament books. Once they witnessed what happened at the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus, they should have recognized that prophecy was being fulfilled before their very eyes. Just as I pointed out in my opening about the one world church, we Christians should see the groundwork of fulfilling the prophecy of Revelation 17:1-18! Israel had the same type of prophecies as we do today. They just refused to “see.”
Prophecy of Messiah Fulfilled:
Matthew 27:39-43 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, (40) And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. (41) Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, (42) He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. (43) He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
My friend, don’t be swayed and blinded by anyone’s opinion. Open your Bible and the Holy Spirit of God will show you. It is His job to teach us (John 14:26). This is why He is called the Comforter; we do not need to fear what God has already told us in His Word. We should not be taken by surprise! We have not been left to our own devices, nor was Israel! They had the prophets to learn from and then the written scrolls came between 1660s to the 400s B.C. This was over 400 years before Christ came. This was enough time for them to learn. Granted, the scrolls were not in every home at that time as we have the complete Bible in our homes today. But friend, you must realize that God does not condemn the innocent. He gives everyone an opportunity to be exposed to salvation. If a person in the most remote tribe in the deepest Amazon jungle were to search for Him, in His mercy God would send a missionary to tell him about salvation. Romans 10:14 tells us that it is the same with everyone! Someone will be sent to preach the precious Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ! Whether it be in person or on the Internet, everyone will hear. It occurred in the Old Testament when Ruth clung to her mother-in-law. It occurred when Rahab helped Joshua escape. She was a Canaanite which was Israel’s enemy. But friend, we are not God. We cannot be so high-minded that we would know what His plans are. But one thing I know for certain is that He is the God of mercy (Psalm 86:15). If someone wants to know Him, He will make sure that He reveals Himself to that person, one way or another.
Do you know Him personally or do you only know of Him? 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.

Job 19:23-27 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! (24) That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever! (25) For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: (26) And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: (27) Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
Good morning, reader! Have you ever wondered which book of the Bible is the oldest or which one is the newest? Or who was the person who lived the longest? What I love the most is that I can always seem to find answers to my questions in my Bible. It is the book of knowledge and wisdom according to Proverbs 2:6, amen? God wrote the book through His Holy Spirit (2Peter 1:20-21) and therefore He provides us with both knowledge and wisdom when we read His Word.
Job is said to be the oldest book. Job doesn’t mention Moses and the Law so he probably lived during the time of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Furthermore, Job offered sanctified his children and offered a burnt offering for all of them. Only the priests did this so Job must have existed prior to the Law.
Just think of this for a moment, Job says how he wished that his words were written and printed in a book! Well they were! More than that, he wanted them written with an iron pen and lead in the ROCK for ever. Jesus is the Word of God (Revelation 19:13) – the Father in Heaven sent His Son to be the Father’s words in the flesh. Jesus is the spoken Word of God (John 1:1, John 1:14, Hebrews 1:3) and His Holy Spirit penned it on paper through His prophets and Apostles. (John 14:26, 2Peter 1:20-21)
Even at this early time in history, Job knew that he would see his Redeemer and that he would partake in the resurrection of life!
Prophecy of Messiah Fulfilled:
John 5:24-29 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (25) Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. (26) For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; (27) And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. (28) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, (29) And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Doesn’t this give you goosebumps? It sure does for me! These words were recorded for us in the Scriptures so we would be excited about the upcoming resurrection of life for all believers! Unfortunately, there will also be another resurrection: not unto life but unto death! I can’t imagine someone not caring about what happens to them after they die. If they only knew the pain and suffering that awaits them. If you knew that your house would catch on fire during the night on a specific day, wouldn’t you make sure that your smoke detectors were functioning and batteries were new? Of course you would. It’s no different with where you will spend eternity! We have the Bible, which is our smoke detector (no pun intended). In it are the words of eternal life for all who will believe in Jesus Christ, our Saviour! You can find out what that will be like by just reading the Scriptures! All the answers are there!
Do you know Him personally or do you only know of Him? 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.
