Any Day Now – Day 10

On March 22, 2024

Luk 21:35-36 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. (36) Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

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

How exciting are the times that we’re experiencing! There are wars and rumors of wars going on around us. Floods, hail stones the size of men’s hands, earthquakes, and signs in the skies. The various news sources are filled these headlines. But friend, I’m not anxious, nor am I afraid at all! 😃

The Bible teaches us that born again believers (those who possess the Holy Spirit in their lives) will not go through this horrible time that will affect the whole world. Re-read Luke 21:37 above! I understand that there are those who believe that Christians will go through the Tribulation but let’s look at the Scriptures. Today’s verse tells us that this tribulation will affect the entire world. The second verse tells us that it will be like no other time in history.

Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

But Jesus says in Revelation 3:10 that there is a time that will come that will affect the whole world, which is the Tribulation. He also states in that same verse that He will “keep the Christians alive at that time FROM the hour.” He doesn’t say He’ll keep us THROUGH it. How can the Lord keep us FROM this? This must be the time that He removes us from the earth.

This verse does not say that God will keep the church-age saints through the temptation but FROM it. There’s a big difference, amen? I’ve shared the following verses with you before but they are worth repeating. Paul taught us quite a bit about the Rapture. If it occurs in the middle of or at the end of the Tribulation, there would be nothing to encourage the hearts of the church-age Christians. Who would find encouragement in going through judgments and God’s wrath? These are the worst trials ever recorded! Let’s read together:

1 Thess 4:13-18 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. (14) For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. (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. (16) 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: (17) 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. (18) Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

This event cannot be the Second Coming of Christ at the end of the Tribulation because Christ comes back to earth. Verse 17 says that we will meet Christ IN THE AIR. As well, Jesus left this earth to go to Heaven, His Father’s house, to prepare a place for us so that He can receive us to Himself so we can be where He is!!! (John 14:1-3) The post Tribulation believers cannot explain this, or they say the mansions are here on earth. How can that be? Where are those mansions or rooms in His Father’s house that He has been preparing for 2,000 years? Friend, if we are to go through any part of the Tribulation, how could we comfort one another???? There is no comfort going through the judgments of Revelation!

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.

Any Day Now – Day 9

In Any Day Now, Devotionals

Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

Every era in time has brought persecution to the Church. However, these persecutions are nothing compared to what will happen during the Tribulation. Why? Because the persecutions of the past were due to the wrath of evil men led by the devil. However, the Tribulation is all about God’s wrath on an unbelieving Israel and a wicked earth.

Rev 6:16-17 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

Some believers feel that the church will not be saved out of the time of wrath, but will be saved through it. Today’s verse tells us that those saints who are on earth during the Tribulation will not be delivered from wrath but will be overcome by the devil. The Church and those who are born again during the Tribulation are two different sets of Christians. The Church age has ended with the Rapture. Those who are saved during the Tribulation have to go through those horrific days. We are told in 1 Thessalonians 4:18 to comfort one another with the upcoming Rapture! If the Church is to go through the Tribulation, does this encourage you?

Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

The only thing that is encouraging to the Church is that believers will go through the Rapture before the Antichrist is revealed and the Tribulation overcomes the earth.

Luk 21:35-36 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. (36) Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Rapture and End Time News – Pestilence

By Kate Plourde

On June 21, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

America on the most part has been protected against great pestilence. But will it last? We are already seeing things happen across the globe. The world thinks it is so smart. They attribute these things as “mother nature” being the cause of these tragedies. Do you not think that God can use these types of pestilences to fulfill His will?

According to the University of Nevada in Reno, Mormon crickets eat native, herbaceous perennials (forbs), grasses, shrubs, and cultivated forage crops, reducing feed for grazing wildlife and livestock. In large numbers, their feeding can contribute to soil erosion, poor water quality, nutrient-depleted soils, and potentially cause damage to range and cropland ecosystems.

Drought encourages Mormon cricket outbreaks, which may last several years (historically 5 to 21 years) and cause substantial economic losses to rangeland, cropland, and home gardens. This is particularly true as adults and nymphs of Mormon crickets migrate in a band, eating plants along their path.
https://watchers.news/2023/06/13/millions-of-mormon-crickets-invade-parts-of-nevada/

God will be using pestilence during the end times as well as during the Tribulation as a wake-up call to mankind to repent and be saved.

Mat 24:7-8 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.

Pestilences are not new. In fact, right here in the U.S., according to the CDC, 80% of U.S. plague cases have been the bubonic form. But it also includes Septicemic and Pneumonic plagues as well. This map shows us the record of plague from 1970-2020.

https://www.cdc.gov/plague/maps/index.html

Pestilence is not limited to plagues and insects. But it also includes anything that is harmful and destructive. In fact, the Cambridge Dictionary also includes in its definition: vandalism is a pestilence that must be stamped out. Goodness, the Tribulation will be filled with great pestilence. It will make the time of Covid seem like child’s play.

God wants all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Discipline is different for each child because of their personalities. It is no difference with mankind. Some are harder to bring to salvation than others. Some are tender-hearted while others are hard-hearted. Whichever category one falls under, God does not want any to perish and go to Hell. Once Christians are removed from this earth at the Rapture, there will be a horrible spiritual darkness. People will believe lies (2 Thessalonians 2:11) and will be harder to come to a saving knowledge. However, it won’t be impossible! God’s mercy will still be able to be found during the Tribulation.

The world thinks it’s so smart and that they have answers for all that is happening. But none of this takes believers in Jesus Christ by surprise because we have God’s Word. The Bible tells us exactly what is about to happen. You can read all about what’s happening and what’s to come in the Bible because it is all laid out there, plain and simple. You can also take a look at my previous devotionals on these topics:

If you are not born-again, these news items are disturbing to you and you wonder what in the world is going on! God wants to draw you to Him, no matter what it takes. Don’t just “accept” the news, but question it. Dig into God’s Word and let Him show you what is about to fall on the entire earth.

Luk 21:35-36 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. (36) Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

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 – Bilderberg Meetings

By Kate Plourde

On June 16, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

The following information about the Bilderberg meeting is taken from their very own website. They don’t hide who they are but they sure do hide the details of their discussions. No media is allowed, which should be a red flag to the world. They list their topics for discussion but one can only imagine what is discussed and for their end goal.

Their 69th annual meeting was kicked off this year on May 19th and held in Lisbon, Portugal. Their agenda for this year’s meeting looks like this:

18 – 21 MAY 2023 LISBON, PORTUGAL

AI

Banking System

China

Energy Transition

Europe

Fiscal Challenges

India

Industrial Policy and Trade

NATO

Russia

Transnational Threats

Ukraine

US Leadership

These meetings began in 1954 and from what I can tell, they are self serving discussions amongst the global elites. One only needs to look at the list of participants of this meeting to see that they have many with wealth, banking, etc. You can Google any one of them to find out their background. You can see what role they play in this group. Like the World Economic Forum, it’s a list of people with various pedigrees; people coming together to discuss the future of our world. For what purpose, I wonder?

1Ti 4:1-2 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; (2) Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

I put the entire list so you can see who is in attendance and the “experience” they bring to the table. Furthermore, the attendees are protected by more than 400 heavily armed guards! The premises have physical barricades as well. Why?

Just to give you a “clue” as to what goes on at these meetings, here is a quote by a former Bilderberg member, Richard Salant. He was the President of CBS News in the 1960’s and 1970’s:

“Our job is not to give people what they want, but what we decide they should have.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1993/02/17/richard-s-salant-dies/cdf0c368-8e2e-4f2b-853c-3c99d2d51dcb/

Why am I posting this? All of their meetings are done in secret. Nothing good comes from secret meetings. No media is allowed. Why? Also, take a look at any of the members on Wikipedia. The pedigree and employment backgrounds should be alerting you that, like Klaus Schwab and the WEF, there is more than meets the eye.

Eph 5:11-13 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. (12) For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. (13) But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

2 Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

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.

The time is coming when it will be too late for people to repent. The time is now!

Luk 21:35-36 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. (36) Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

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?
