Maranatha - Awaiting Christ's Return

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 – The A.I. Genie Is Out of the Bottle

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.

Today, man may think he is full of knowledge. His original creations may not be what he/she intended to be in the end. Take Artificial Intelligence (AI), for example. It’s been years in the making; step by step man has designed something better, faster and greater than its predecessor. AI is getting more complex – there are no regulations in place to pull the plug if necessary. Elon Musk said it best:

“If you’re not concerned about AI safety, you should be. Vastly more risk(y) than North Korea.”

In fact, it seems that ever since Artificial Intelligence has come out in the news, it’s all we are hearing about! I doubt very much it is a “fad” and will eventually go away. I believe it is here to stay and will grow exponentially! CBN’s news item on Artificial Intelligence, AI, is excellent and has some poignant questions and points. Watch the video until the end; you won’t regret it.

“We have to make sure when designing this that humans stay in the pilot seat, and actually make sure that God is in the pilot seat.”

https://www2.cbn.com/news/world/ai-genie-out-bottle-can-it-be-shifted-threat-gospel-tool

Do you see how AI could be an issue in the future? We are only skimming the surface in our knowledge of its use. The average person has no idea what it takes to keep AI moving into the future. But the greatest scientific minds knew what could happen.

“The development of artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race,” according to Stephen Hawking. 

The renowned theoretical physicist isn’t alone with this thought.

“[AI] scares the xxxx out of me,” Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk once said at the SXSW tech conference. “It’s capable of vastly more than almost anyone knows, and the rate of improvement is exponential.”

We are in an age where knowledge seems to be out of control. Ground-breaking discoveries are made daily in this field and believers can’t help but wonder how it will culminate into the rise of the Antichrist.

Pro 1:7  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Men’s pride is foolish – they don’t want to be told what to do. In the end, it is God who will have the last word. Instead of seeking after God and His Word to gain wisdom, men would rather be prideful and seek after their own knowledge and that of their fellow man.

Daniel prophesied what would happen in the end times. Imagine living in Daniel’s time (3304-3399 B.C.) and seeing the future? How would one even describe A.I.? How about describing a plane? When you read biblical books on prophecy, you have to put yourself in the prophet’s shoes to understand to what they are referring.

Is it any wonder that God told Daniel to shut up the words and seal the book until the end of time? The words would not have made sense any other time than now. Born-again believers are longing for the Lord to return in the clouds to come get us.

1 Cor 15:50-57  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.  (51)  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,  (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.  (53)  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.  (54)  So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.  (55)  O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?  (56)  The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.  (57)  But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

If you are not born-again, you will miss this blessed event called the Rapture! Don’t delay your salvation. NOW is the day for you to be saved! (2 Corinthians 6:2)

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 – Hidden Agenda No Longer Hidden

By

On June 28, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

We are most certainly in the end times. Confusion runs rampant in our streets. In years past, one would not have heard nor seen such things as we are today. Just last week, there was a march in Manhattan where one could hear chanting:

We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children!

https://tinyurl.com/yc6ma44m

It’s not even hidden – it is out in the open and there is no longer a hidden agenda. It is pure evil spawned by the devil himself. The devil has wanted the children from the beginning! He tried to destroy the seed of Moses so Jesus would not be born. He tried to destroy Jesus through the work of Herod. His goals are totally the opposite of Jesus’ goals!

1 Pet 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

2 Cor 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.

Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

1 John 5:19  And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Some government servants took a stand on moral ground. But I’m afraid that these stands are not enough. The Church is not screaming louder than those who promote such evil deeds.

“This movement grooms minors to have mastectomies and castration and fuels a multi billion dollar medical child abuse industry,”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) tweeted in response to the clip.

This is pure, unadulterated sin! Imagine allowing your child(ren) to be lab rats undergoing experimental surgeries where lifetime repercussions result! This is no different than Josef Mengele’s surgeries during Hitler’s reign of terror. People were outraged when the truth came out. Where are these objectors now? Why isn’t the Church screaming at the top of her lungs to put an end to all of this!

Joh 3:19-20  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.  (20)  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

Jesus Christ will win in the end and the judgment that will be passed on people who participate and support such events will have to account for their actions. Their own sins will bring judgment upon themselves.

Rev 20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

No matter what sin(s) one commits, the end result is the same. (Romans 3:23) No one can enter Heaven on his own merit. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Every human being since the fall of Adam and Eve is born with a sinful nature. You don’t have to teach a child to do wrong; you have to teach a child to do what is right. No matter what a person does, that person starts off life the same as everyone else. After we are born, we start our lives heading down the path of condemnation, which is eternity in the Lake of Fire. That is why the Apostle John said that we are condemned already!

Joh 3:18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

That is why Jesus said we must be “born-again”! (John 3:3, 3:7) We cannot be born physically a second time. But our spirit is born-again. Rather than seek after evil, we now desire to seek after that which is good. We must turn around spiritually! We must repent of that life and forsake our sinful nature. That is why Jesus said:

Mat 7:13-14  Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:  (14)  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

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?

Rapture and End Time News – Embryos Created in Laboratories

By

On June 26, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

This is very disturbing. Only God can create life according to the Bible. But the sin of pride makes people think they are above God and can do whatever they want without repercussions. It comes as no surprise that this rises out of Europe. It is just the beginning, so it seems. Just take a look at this excerpt from a June 14th article:

Scientists have created synthetic human embryos using stem cells, in a groundbreaking advance that sidesteps the need for eggs or sperm.

Scientists say these model embryos, which resemble those in the earliest stages of human development, could provide a crucial window on the impact of genetic disorders and the biological causes of recurrent miscarriage.

However, the work also raises serious ethical and legal issues as the lab-grown entities fall outside current legislation in the UK and most other countries.

The structures do not have a beating heart or the beginnings of a brain, but include cells that would typically go on to form the placenta, yolk sac and the embryo itself.

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/jun/14/synthetic-human-embryos-created-in-groundbreaking-advance

Pride makes man think he can do anything, even create life itself. But the Bible is the source of all truth (John 17:17) and everything else is a lie. (Romans 3:4)

Gen 2:7  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Job 33:4  The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Neh 9:6  Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

Joh 1:3-4  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.  (4)  In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Act 17:24-25  God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;  (25)  Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

It is the sin of pride that causes man to think he can do what God can do! Pride was the first sin ever committed and it was committed by the father of lies himself, Lucifer! (John 8:44)

Isa 14:12-15  How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!  (13)  For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:  (14)  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.  (15)  Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Today, the sin of pride lurks in men’s hearts. We see the pride flag and the destruction to the moral values of our society. It comes as no surprise that the color blue is omitted from their flag. Blue is one of the colors used in the Temple and priestly garments. Blue (or sapphire) was the color that appeared under God’s feet when Moses and the nobles of Israel saw Him. Blue is part of God’s Throne. (Revelation 21:19) Anything pertaining to holiness is reflected in this color; so it comes as no surprise that it is left out of the LGBTQ+ flag. But one day, every single person, will stand before God and give an account of his/her life here on earth. No one will be exempt. Unless one repents of his sin and is born-again (John 3:3, 3:7), he cannot enter Heaven. It’s as simple as that. Every person who ever lived from the beginning of time will have to take a knee in front of the King of kings, Jesus Christ!

Rom 14:11-12  For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.  (12)  So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Jesus Christ loves every member of the LGBTQ+ community – He died for all sins and desires fellowship with anyone who will accept Him as Saviour. However, to say that we have no sin, IS the sin of pride. We all sin (Romans 3:23) and are in need of a Saviour. That is why Jesus said we must be born-again (John 3:3, 3:7). Once we acknowledge that we cannot get to Heaven without accepting Jesus Christ as our Saviour, His death on the cross, His shed blood to forgive us our sins, then our attitude toward that sin changes. (2 Corinthians 5:17) We are now a new creation, thus the meaning of being born-again.

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?

Rapture and End Time News – Digital IDs Will Record Everything

By

On June 23, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

If you don’t see the handwriting on the wall, then you are totally oblivious to what is happening around the world. Living in America has its advantages but we cannot bury our heads in the sand and expect a different outcome. First came the digital health ID then everyone jumped on the bandwagon! We now have a chip which can be implanted in a hand and used to pay for anything, anywhere! Wherever your credit card can be used, the chip can be used.

Do you see where all of this is headed toward? There is a “system” coming in the not too distant future, where all activities in a person’s life will be recorded: what you pay for your electricity, your total grocery bill, doctor’s office visits, health records, time you spend online and where you go online. It is already being recorded individually, but the ultimate goal is to have “one-stop shopping” for everything in ONE place. According to Forbes:

The European Union will mandate digital identity under eIDAS 2.0, which will go into effect in September 2023 and ensure all Member States offer a digital identity wallet (DIW) to citizens and businesses. According to the European Commission, “At least 80% of citizens should be able to use a digital ID solution to access key public services by 2030.”

https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2023/03/24/2023-the-year-digital-identities-go-mainstream/?sh=38f24b8444b5

I am not a scholar but I can tell that this type of system is a “shadow” of things to come once the Antichrist rules the earth. There will be a system in place where everyone will have to receive his “mark” to be able to buy or sell anything, anywhere! That information will be recorded and the bearer’s whereabouts will be known to those “powers that be”!

You may not think that taking this “mark” is that big a deal, but Friend, it most certainly IS! Look at what the Bible says will happen to those that take this “digital ID-type” mark:

Rev 13:16-17  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: (17)  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Rev 14:9-11  And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, (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: (11)  And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name

Rev 16:2  And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

You may think to yourself that you would never worship the Antichrist, but the Bible says you will.

2 Thess 2:8-12  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.

If you enter the Tribulation (which begins when the Antichrist is revealed by signing a peace treaty with Israel), you will believe the Antichrist and all that he says and does. You will be totally infatuated with the man. You will believe his lies because of the delusion that has come upon those who would not accept Christ.

I am certainly not date setting for the beginning of the Tribulation. What I am doing is trying to wake people up to how late in the “season” we are for the Lord’s return. The Rapture can happen at any second. There is no timeline for this event; that is why it is said to be imminent. Once the Rapture does happen, the Holy Spirit’s restraint will be removed and Satan will be able to RUN with his agenda. A great deception will happen because there won’t be Christians around to speak truth, God’s truth! Will you be part of the deception or will you be gone when all of this takes place?

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?

Rapture and End Time News – Pestilence

By

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?

Rapture and End Time News – A.I. Chatbot Preaches

By

On June 19, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

Artificial Intelligence is merely scraping the surface at this point in the end times. We may be amused at this article but it is nothing to laugh at. The world may be attracted to this but Christians are not children of the darkness; we can clearly see what is happening to this world! (1 Thessalonians 5:5) Here’s an excerpt from the article that baffled me:

A unique sermon was delivered via artificial intelligence Friday in a Lutheran church in Germany. 

A ChatGPT chatbot asked the people in the fully packed St. Paul’s Church in the town of Fuerth to rise from the pews and praise the Lord.

The bot was personified by an avatar of a bearded black man on a huge screen above the altar. It preached to more than 300 people who showed up for the experimental Lutheran church service, generated almost entirely by artificial intelligence.

“Dear friends, it is an honor for me to stand here and preach to you as the first artificial intelligence at this year’s convention of Protestants in Germany,” the avatar said with an expressionless face and monotone voice.

https://www2.cbn.com/news/cwn/ai-chatbot-preaches-church-germany-looks-unveiling-antichristbeast-system

Can you see this technology being used during the Tribulation? I can see how AI could possibly be the “resurrected” beast, can’t you? I’m not saying it will as the devil will be able to perform miracles that will deceive the world.

Rev 13:3-4  And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.  (4)  And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

Of course, the Church will have been raptured before any of this happens, but we are charged to “go ye therefore” and witness to a lost and dying world. Knowing this information is a must for believers! We need to be equipped to tell unbelievers what is awaiting them if they do not get saved before the Rapture. Warn your family and friends that if they do not get saved, they will be allowed to come under a great delusion! They won’t have any discernment left in their minds and will believe all kinds of lies. The devil does not want them to get saved so he will create events that will cause the world to think that he is god and they will believe him.

2Th 2:8-12  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.

For those who “fall into the category” of the deceived, their time for salvation is over. It’s too late for them. This is why we must tell the world what is coming so when it does come, they will remember what we told 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?

Rapture and End Time News – Bilderberg Meetings

By

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;

List of 2023 participants include:

Abrams, Stacey (USA), CEO, Sage Works Production    
Achleitner, Paul M. (DEU), Chair, Global Advisory Board, Deutsche Bank AG    
Agrawal, Ajay (CAN), Professor of Economics, University of Toronto

https://bilderbergmeetings.org/meetings/meeting-2023/participants-2023

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? 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 – Wars and Rumors of Wars

By

On June 14, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

It’s not only here in the United States, but people all over the world are seeing wars and conflicts. There are many rumors of wars and there are blatant all out wars, like that of Russia and the Ukraine. Make no mistake, the Bible is never wrong! NEVER!

Is it any wonder that the suicide rates are as high as they are? Does it surprise you why people are confused and looking for answers? But where are they going to for those answers? One would think that they would be flooding the Bible-believing churches by the thousands to see what God’s Word has to say. But no, people don’t want to seek biblical warnings about their sinful nature. Why should they want to feel worse, they ask themselves. Instead they go to motivational “preachers” to hear messages that make them feel good. But guess what? Those sermons do not do anything for the soul. They do not lead a person to repentance of their sins. They do not reveal to them that God is waiting to fill that emptiness inside with the presence of His Holy Spirit once they accept the beautiful Gospel of Jesus Christ and the salvation for which He gave His precious blood! Repentance is key!

Luk 24:46-47  And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:  (47)  And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

For without repentance, there is no change. A person has to have evidence of the new birth! This is why you see so many “so-called” Christians living worse than the religious people in their cities!

2 Co 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Is it any wonder then that people are afraid of what is coming? Will those wars and rumors of wars come to our own country? The world is falling apart at the seams and there doesn’t seem to be any turning back.

In fact, “Americans fear Middle Eastern terrorists will use the border crisis to unleash catastrophic attacks inside the homeland.”

New Poll Reveals Many Americans Fear Nuclear-9/11-Type Attacks

As born-again Christians, we need not fear what is to happen during these end times. Jesus Christ will Rapture His church before the worst events of the end times come about. He keeps us safe in Heaven while God unleashes His wrath upon an unbelieving world. If you are not born again, do so before it is too late. People who get saved during the Tribulation will likely lose their lives.

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?

Rapture and End Time News – Demon “Lilith”

By

On June 12, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

Welcome to Hell! If this doesn’t bother you, Reader, then something is wrong with your discernment. Granted this is simply a video game named Diablo IV. But is it really? Is it merely a coincidence that it appeared on a billboard in New York when the city was covered in orange haze due to the fires blowing in from Canada?

(Mat 16:3)  And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

In Jewish mythology, Lilith (pictured on the billboard above and is a part of this game) was known to prey on newborn infants and seducing unsuspecting men. What’s even more disgusting is that she would use their “seed” to spawn demon babies. What is upsetting here is what she is known for in this Jewish mythology! It comes as no surprise that New York was the first state to make abortion legal in 1970. It has become the habitat for the worst sins of humanity.

It’s easy to see how the spirit of antichrist is in the world today. No longer do we see the deeds of corrupt and evil men and women hidden behind closed doors. Sin is openly exposed to the world and it has hardened their hearts. Seeing the devil’s work blatantly spread across our nation is disturbing, to say the least. But the more the world sees these types of advertisements, etc., it will become immune to the harm it brings on unsuspecting hearts. We are desensitized to sin in this world and it is getting worse by the day.

(1Jn 4:3)  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

The saddest thing about all of this is that to the world Hell is downgraded to a videogame. Unfortunately, the Bible says it’s a real place, (with eternal punishment, fire and pain) where those who are not born-again believers will spend an eternity!

(Mat 13:42)  And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

(Mar 1:15)  And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

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?

Rapture and End Time News – Food Shortages

By

On June 9, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

Does it not bother you, reader, that the news is talking about food shortages but no one digs into the real reasons why? The “powers that be” want to create a food shortage so they can create a world that must depend on its government to provide their needs. This is pure Socialism! They will make farming so expensive that farmers will be forced to give up their land at a cheap rate.

New York City will begin tracking the carbon footprint of household food consumption and putting caps on how much red meat can be served in public institutions as part of a sweeping initiative to achieve a 33% reduction in carbon emissions from food by 2030.

“Different meats have different kinds of greenhouse gas footprints” because of differences in the production systems and “all land is not created equal” Melissa McKendree, Ph.D., an agricultural economist at Michigan State University, told The Defender.

The Defender

Farmland is being purchased by the rich! Why?? Why is John Malone, a billionaire, buying all this land? One has to wonder! Apparently Bill Gates is doing the same. The rich will have food while the poor won’t be able to find anything on the stores’ shelves!

Rev 6:5-6  And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.  (6)  And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

These news items point toward the end times, Reader. One cannot ignore the preparation by the spirit of antichrist. Christians will not know who the antichrist will be because the Rapture will take us out of here before he is. But the devil’s “spirit” is alive and well on planet Earth at this time. Events are falling into to place to prepare for the Tribulation period.

1Jn 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

The prophet Amos prophesied that in the end times there would be a famine, not just of food, but of God’s Word. No one wants to hear what God has to say about sin because that would mean they are sinners. Prideful hearts have they!

Not only will there be a lack of God’s Word during the end times but you can be sure there will be famines of the worst kind; of such we have never seen since the 10-year dust bowl which began in 1930 here in America! We have been blessed with abundance because we were founded on Christian values. But one only has to have ears and eyes today to see and hear the evil direction our nation is going!! 😥 Preparations are being made now for these famines. The seven-year Tribulation, the time of Jacob’s Troubles, will be like no other time in history.

Rev 6:8  And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

The famines of the Tribulation period will kill one-fourth of the earth’s population! Animals will also die for lack of food. It was estimated by the United Nations that our planet now has over eight billion people (as of November 2022). Using this number, we can see that this prophecy at the beginning of the Tribulation will kill two billion people, both from famine and the sword!! (The sword may be referring to wars.)

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.
