End of the World - Series #8 - Part 162 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation

There are many signs of the times that reveal that the end of the world could be very close.  When we were last together in this series we explained how powerful are political and government leaders who take to the airwaves speaking with tongues of fire - spewing deadly poison which they call free speech.  But, sadly, there are many Christian leaders who are doing the same thing - spewing deadly poison against other Christians - those who are made in the image of God.  This ought not be so!

The violence that is created by tongues of deadly poison produces chaos and anarchy in nations around the world.  In the days of Noah...the earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence...Gen 6:11.  Jesus admonished us to understand the signs of the times in Noah's day that preceded the end of his world, for those same signs would be evident in the world at the time of His return.

And God said to Noah - and us in the 21st century...The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them, I will destroy them with the earth...Gen. 6:13.  The word violence in the original Hebrew language is hamas meaning:  cruelty; false; injustice; unjust gain; oppressor; violent dealing; damaging; unrighteousness; take away violently.  This definition of the  character of the people in Noah's day provoked the loss of millions of people as they were swept away in the Great Flood.  God is not mocked - what He promises will eventually come to pass!

Jesus said...as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be...Matt.24:37.  As we read this profound definition of the word violence, we can clearly see that every synonym pervades the culture of the 21st century worldwide - and is getting worse by the day.

A little side note.  Did you notice that the Hebrew word for violence is the name of a modern terrorist organization Hamas, who speak violent words  - and do acts of violence - against Israel everyday?  They also speak violence against the USA who sends them money - interesting.  So we can see how this escalation of violence in every nation of the world is an important sign of the times showing the end of the world is near.

In the epistle of Jude, the brother of James, we find  an example of how warnings to stop sinning or endure the consequences are fulfilled.  Jude said...as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire...Jude 7.  God is long-suffering and desires that all men come to Him in repentance.

God warns and warns, sometimes for many decades, before the consequences of our unrepentant sins come upon us - but - God is not mocked, if we do not repent, the consequences will come upon us. How God deals with His people is clearly written in the Bible, many examples, so we will understand that sin separates us from Him, which grieves a loving and holy Creator.

 Bible Banned 1962 - Anti-Christian secret societies and non-profit Communist law firms worked day and night to bring a case before the Supreme Court, that would cause them to disallow, literally ban, the reading of the Bible from the curricula taught in public schools.  The Bible was literally revered by our founders, those who wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in the 18th century.  In fact, the first Congress of the United States ordered 500 Bibles to be given to the public schools to undergird the children's educational curricula.  Hmmm...I guess they didn't understand the Constitution they just wrote!

By the 20th century, the godless Supreme Court justices insisted that this same Constitution supported their decision to ban the Bible and its dangerous influence on the little kiddos in public schools.

Results of Banning the Bible - Since the Supreme Court banned the Bible from the curricula of government schools, the academic achievements of students in America have been gradually diminishing and will eventually attain the literacy level of third world countries.  Quite an accomplishment!

Well into the 20th century, American students ranked at the top of international academic rankings.  By 2012 the PISA (Program for International Student Assessment) reveals the following data from 65 countries.  The place that USA students rank with these countries in four subjects is:

Math                     USA ranks 30th
Science                 USA ranks 23rd
Reading                USA ranks 20th
Problem solving   USA ranks 18th

As you evaluate these low ratings for US students, keep in mind that on average the USA spends $115,000.00 per student per year, while other countries with higher ranking spend an average of $53,000.00 per year. 

In 1963, before banning the Bible from school curricula began to be implemented across America, the most egregious crime in public schools was chewing gum or running in the halls. I remember being a hall monitor with authority to stop these awful crimes.   By the end of the 20th century, murder and malefaction ruled.  Metal detectors are necessary in many schools and one third of all schools have armed guards in order to thwart the nefarious activities of those who desire to harm others.

Despite the statistical facts, secular humanists still insist there is no correlation between the banning of the Bible and the degeneracy of the moral and academic character of the students in crime-ridden government schools across America.  Sadly, after the NEA (National Education Agency) was established in Washington DC in 1978, the teachers union declared itself an agent of the educational system - causing every student to think alike, act alike and accept without question, whatever the government tells them.  Result:  automatons.  This has been an insidious takeover of our children's spirit, soul and body.  Is it time to put Jesus Christ back on His Throne to save our kids?

Did you know that in 1635 the first public schools were established by the Puritans.  Why?  Most parents were tending to their farms and had little time to teach their children the Bible or academically, so with one teacher and many students, they could educate their children in the Bible, as well as academically.  But the 9 black robes of unrighteousness have obliterated the original intent of the public school system.  

Are there more signs of the times that point to the end of the world in our time?  Stay tuned...

End of the World - Series #7 - Part 161 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation

Is time running out - will our generation hear the trumpet of God that will trigger the end of the world?  Do the signs of the times in our generation reveal that the end of the world is near?  Noah was given 120 years to build the ark of survival from the judgments of God, which provided signs of the times for his generation.  And...the end of his world did finally arrive.  God is not a man that He should lie -- so His promise that there will be a fiery end of the world, with the earth and all of its works burning up, will come to pass. 

Jesus said...Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming...Matt. 24:42.  If we watch for the signs of the times we will be spiritually prepared to hear the trumpet of God when it is sounded.  For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God...and the dead in Christ will rise first...then those who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air...and thus we shall always be with the Lord...therefore comfort one another with these words...I Thes. 4:16-18.

What happens right after the saints of God meet Jesus in the air?  The Apostle Peter describes the next step very clearly.   The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up...II Pet. 3:10.  The day of the Lord describes the return of Jesus Christ to gather His saints to Himself, to live with Him forever.

But Peter doesn't stop there, he goes on to admonish the people on preparedness for this event.  Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?  Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for a new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells...II Peter 3:11-13.

As the saints of God watch for the return of Jesus Christ, we must evaluate our own lives to see if we are ready to receive Him -- living in holy conduct and godliness. Do we use our tongues as weapons of accusations, condemning others, finding fault, blaming others which fans the flames of unforgiveness?  Or, do we surrender our tongue to the humble Jesus Christ who spoke truth and peace, because He sought to not only forgive unrighteousness, but to change our hearts. 

Jesus said...out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks...Matt. 12:34.  Jesus knows, if He can change our hearts, our tongue will speak life - not deadly poison.

What did the Apostle James say about the tongue?   The tongue is a little member and boasts great things...see how great a forest a little fire kindles!...and the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity...the tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body; and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by Hell...James 3:5-6.  Wow...pretty severe indictment of our tongue which controls the words we speak! 

James went on to say...But no man can tame the tongue.  It is an unruly evil full of  deadly poison...with it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God...these things ought not be so...James 3: 8-10.  What did King Solomon say about the tongue? 

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit...Proverbs 18: 21.  What does he mean?  If we decide to use our tongue to speak life - kindness, encouragement, forgiveness & hope - into someone's life, we will receive the same in return.  But, if we choose to speak deadly poison into someone's life, we will receive the same in return.  This is an immutable spiritual law.  God always gives us a choice, but He also explains the consequences of our choice.

The Prophet Isaiah revealed a promise of God to those who are willing to walk uprightly - obeying His spiritual laws - in Him.  Isaiah said...No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn...this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord...and their righteousness is from Me.  Is. 54:17.

When we only hear hatred spewed across the airwaves by voices of violence that create chaos and anarchy, we wonder when will the Lord intervene.  Each day the saints of God have a choice as to what words will be spoken by their tongues -- words of truth and peace or join the masses who speak with tongues of deadly poison?

When we understand the power of the tongue we will better understand Jesus when He said...But I say to you who hear...love your enemies, do good to those who hate you...bless those who curse  you; and pray for those who spitefully use you...Luke 6:27-28.    He is explaining how the fruit of the deadly poisonous curses of our enemy will do damage to them -- what they spoke against us they will eat its fruit.  So we are encouraged to bless those who curse us, so we will eat the fruit of our blessings.  This action leaves the evil speaker in the hands of the God of Justice.

So every time someone blames you unjustly, listens and repeats what others say against you, decides to reject you as a friend, desires evil to come upon you, even to point of losing a job or reputation... remember all of this was experienced first by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Now we know why He didn't retaliate, but rather chose words of blessing, rather than cursing.

Jesus continued...love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High...for He is kind to the unthankful and evil...Luke 6:35.  Jesus is our example for living a godly life - and He will help us. 

In today's society political leaders take to the airwaves speaking with tongues of fire - deadly poison - spewing their desire to assassinate another leader, all in the name of free speech.  Is this a sign that the end of the world is near?  Stay tuned...

End of the World - Series #6 - Part 160 of Riddles. Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation

Jesus said...Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword...for I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's enemies will be those of his own household...he who loves father or mother more than ME is not worthy of ME...and he who loves son or daughter more than ME is not worthy of ME...and he who does not take his cross and follow after ME is not worthy of ME...Matt. 10:34-38.

At first glance these words seem at odds with the Prince of Peace.  The Word of God is called the Sword of the Spirit which divides the soul (mind) of man from his spirit (Eph. 6:17 & Heb. 4:12).  When a born again believer in Christ knows and understands the Word of God his allegiance will be sworn to the Prince of Peace, knowing that he will be persecuted standing firmly on the principles exemplified by Him. 

When one draws closer to Jesus Christ, sin is revealed, because sin cannot live in the presence of God.  When sin is revealed this person will repent, receive forgiveness, and continue walking closer to Him - or - or he/she will shrink away from His light and be satisfied with the fun and frolic of worldly pleasures.  The Apostle Paul describes these lovers of pleasure as...having a form of godliness but denying its power...and from such people turn away!...II Tim. 3:5.  A form of godliness means:  we talk Christianese; go to church; say a prayer at meals; and pray when there is a crisis demanding God to show up - but the rest of the time we live for our own creature comforts.

I have been an intercessor since 1974, needless to say, I have stood in the gap for thousands of people...Ez. 22:30.  A few months ago I was shown in a vision of a person for whom I was praying:  wrapped tightly from head to foot with large white swathes.  The mouth being bound symbolized this person does not believe the Word of God, or the mouth could not have been bound.  The Spirit of the Lord revealed this person is bound by alcohol addiction, but refuses to acknowledge it.  Worldly pleasures and prosperity are fun for a season, but there is always a consequence.

Believers in Jesus Christ are called to be Ambassadors for Christ...II Cor. 5:20.  Do you know the job description of an ambassador?  An ambassador is a representative of one kingdom to another.  In order to represent a kingdom successfully, an ambassador must embrace the values of his/her kingdom, exemplifying them by example.  A believer in Jesus Christ is called to be salt and light to the earthly world, calling sinners out of darkness into His marvelous light...I Pet. 2:9. 

If the salt no longer preserves and the light no longer shines, a believer in Jesus Christ will no longer affect the earthly world for the good of the gospel - believers will become good for nothing...thrown out and trampled underfoot by men...Matt. 5:13-16.

When we were last together I asked, "Is the Church of Jesus Christ being trampled underfoot by men - by pagan and immoral leaders of every government of every nation of the world?"  All we have to do is look around to see how the Christian religion has been thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. 

In l962 the Supreme Court of the USA restricted prayer in public schools - basically calling the Bible a dangerous influence.  In l973 these black robes of unrighteousness declared it a right for Americans to murder their own babies in the womb.  Somehow they found this right in the Constitution - but I couldn't find it.  With immoral pagans making these egregious laws, antithetical to the Constitution and the Bible, the slippery slope into the abyss was grievously hastened - now we have blood on our hands - and the blood of the innocent cries out to God to be avenged...Gen. 4:10  & Rev. 6:10.

By rejecting the free gift of salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ - the only way to Heaven -  modern society is empty inside, desperately searching for something or someone to fill that void.  So they are flocking to the invisible world of Satan, who generously provides them with spirit guides, mediums, psychics and myriads of supernatural entities to guide them into his trap, successfully kidnapping them from their Creator who loves them with an everlasting love.  But...God gave them the ability to choose - God or Satan.

If a spiritual or political leader in the 21st century dares to stand openly for the commandments of God, he/she is viciously attacked by the Press and the Pundits as not being TOLERANT - politically correct according the principles of the new movers & shakers - immoral pagans.  Ridicule and shame is relentlessly thrown upon the one standing for Jesus Christ until he is brow-beaten into submission.

A true Christian, standing firmly on the Word of God in modern society is painted with the word BIGOT on his forehead.  Do you know the original meaning of bigot?  It is derived from Spanish--hombre de bigote - man with a mustache.  This means:  man of spirit, firm character, obstinate person.  Obstinate means:  to set one's mind firmly on; to stand against something.  The true definition of bigot describes the person who is called to be an Ambassador of Jesus Christ - if he/she  affectively produces godly change in modern society.

While clandestine for decades, the Luciferian practices of Global leaders has come to light - one saying she used voodoo against a current world president.  These esoteric strategic planners rule from behind the scenes through their puppet kings, queens, prime ministers, presidents and others they have permitted to shine in their light.  Many media moguls are instrumental in influencing billions of human beings to experiment in the ethereal realm of magic and malevolence, indoctrinating their minds toward the occult, and away from Jesus Christ. The nether world is real---and dangerous.

Are these the signs of the end of the world we were told to watch for by Jesus Christ?  Stay tuned...

End of the World - Series #5 - Part 159 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation

When we were last together we read in the Bible what Moses and the Apostle Peter said regarding the works of Satan.  Satan and his demonic army live in the invisible realm, but he uses human beings to accomplish his destruction upon the earth.  He uses witches, wizards, mediums, psychics, astrologers, necromancers (those who talk to the dead) diviners, and rejecters of Jesus Christ to impart his supernatural powers in order to separate human beings from their Creator.

There are diffferent classifications of demons revealed in the Bible, but a specific one that Moses referred to seems to be the most common to manifest in the lives of human beings - familiar spirit.   Why do I say this?  Dictionary definition of familiar spirit:  demon or evil spirit that acts as an intimate servant--a close companion.  Bible definition of familiar spirit:  a necromancer; to seek or ask; talking to the dead.

When you seek a medium or psychic to ask them to contact a dead loved one, you will actually encounter a demon spirit who is in possesion of the medium.  The demon that the medium conjures will be familiar with every personal detail of the earthy life of the dead person, because it was an intimate servant when he/she was alive.  Often they are passed down the family line causing problems from generation to generation.

Even if the familiar spirit was unable to possess a certain person when he was alive, just hanging around - close companion - tormenting that person will give the demon information that he can pass on through the medium or psychic.  When the medium imparts some accurate knowledge, this supernatural experience convinces the seeker that he/she has made contact with his loved one - but the seeker is deceived. 

Seeking knowledge from Satan - father of lies - rather than seeking knowledge from God is an abomination - destestable to the Lord.  God knows that when you seek knowledge from Satan and his demons you will be kidnapped from Him--separated from His guidance and protection.  The goal of Satan is to destroy the human race, which is his revenge against God.

An insidious poison has been cast upon the worldwide society of the 21st century -- just as if a witch waved her far-reaching magic wand and cast her poisonous spell, paralyzing the Church of Jesus Christ.  This magical poison is TOLERANCE!.  Did you know that this word is not found in the Bible?  Now the word tolerable is found in the Bible, which means:  endurable; bearable.

What is the meaning of tolerance?  This word has many synonyms, and a few stand out as perfect descriptions of a neutered Church of Jesus Christ, that has adopted the complexion of its materialistic society:  open-mindedness; liberalism; permit; consent to; sensitivity; lenience; concession; freedom from bigotry or prejudice.  Why does the Church at large seem to work overtime to exemply this definition of tolerance, especially when the Bible doesn't command them to do so?

Could it be because they don't know the commandments of the Lord as well as they understand the requirements of a pagan and immoral world system?  While Jesus commanded His followers to walk in love, He also told them that in His Name they had authority...over all the power of the enemy.  He did not tell them to be tolerant of their enemy. Who is their enemy?  The enemy of a believer is Satan and his demons who live in the invisible world, but manifest their wickedness through human beings in the earthly world.

By not standing up for the pure and absolute principles of Jesus Christ, which bring salvation, healing, deliverance and hope to all, the tolerance of the Church of Jesus Christ is permitting Satan and his demons to create chaos and anarchy around the world.  Tolerance has caused the Church of Jesus Christ in the 21st century to shrink from its assignment to be witnesses of God's salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ.  They are called bigots if they insist that Jesus is the only way to Heaven, so they shrink away...John 14:6.

Believe me, Christians will be persecuted for standing on the immutable commandments - principles - of Jesus Christ, because He warned us...Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake...rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you...Matt. 5:11-12.  Wow...we are to rejoice when the world speaks evil against us when we stand up for the commandments of God!

Jesus went on the say to believers...You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses it flavor, how shall it be seasoned?...it is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men...you are the light of the world...a city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden...nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house...let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven...Matt. 5:13-16.

Salt is a preservative - light is the power and authority of Jesus Christ resident in a believer.  These metaphors also describe the character of Jesus exemplified by born again believers, who will infiltrate the darkness of secular society with the Word of God, lighting the way into His Kingdom.  If tolerance is submited to, salt and light will no longer affect society for the good of the gospel; believers will become...good for nothing...thrown out and trampled underfoot by men..

Is the Chruch of Jesus Christ being trampled underfoot by men - by the pagan & immoral leaders of every government of every nation of the world?  Is chaos and anarchy ruling all nations?  Stay tuned...

End of the World Series #4 - Part 158 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation

 

When we were last together I explained how in the 21st century many are seeking guidance from spirit guides, psychics, and mediums.  Is this a sign of the times that reveals it is getting close to the end of the world?

 

Lucifer's rebellion against God happened eons ago - Satan lost.  How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning, how you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations!...for you have said in your heart; I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High...Isaiah 14:12-14.

 

After Lucifer declared his plans, God declared His plans...You shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit...Is. 14:15.  Lucifer was a created angelic being, empowered by God. The Greek translation of his name is morning star because he reflected the brightness of God.  When he was cast out of his heavenly position he became known as Satan - which is a title, rather than a name. Greek translation of Satan:  adversary; accuser; opponent; to attack.

 

When Jesus was explaining to His disciples about the power & authority in His name, He said...I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven...behold, I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you...Luke 10:18-18.

 

The Bible is replete with information about the invisible realm, Satan, and demons, yet I have a hard time engaging believers in conversation about these things.  A new survey just came out today that states only 61% of people of faith (whatever that means) believe there is a real Satan or demons.  Wonder why?  Are denominations being lead by non-Christians who believe the Bible is full of myths, fables and mistranslations?  It appears so. 

 

If  "believers" no longer believe the words of Jesus, the world is in big trouble, because they will not understand the signs that point to the end of the world, and will not be prepared for the return of Jesus.  The Apostle Paul said...If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God...set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth...Col. 3:1-2.  He is telling us to think on things in the invisible realm, especially, the One sitting on the right hand of God.

 

God's people seem to spend so much time on worldly pleasures, they have no time left to seek intimacy with Jesus Christ, who will help us to understand His power and authority in the invisible realm and on the earth.  He will help us to understand the shenanigans of Satan and his demons in the invisible realm and on the earth.  If we don't set our minds to understand the invisible spiritual realm - things above - we will be fooled into following the wrong god. 

 

Now we know that 39% of "believer's" have been fooled, they are ignorant to the wiles of the devil, who will take them captive without a whimper, because they are having so much fun enjoying their material prosperity -- new homes, new furniture, new clothes, new cars and cupboards stacked with an abundance of food -- materially rich, spiritually deficient. 

 

I wonder how many of the 61% are even weeping daily (or even once a month), in intercession for the lost to find Jesus Christ?  Or, are they too busy enjoying the fruits of their labor.  How many "believer's" who deny - or ignore - the existence of Satan have acquired his persona without realizing it:  attacking others; false accusations; opponent; adversary.  In our society the media exhibits Satan's persona.  If the "church" doesn't exhibit the persona of Christ, boldly and bravely, the end of the world may arrive sooner than expected!

 

The end of the world generation will boldly interact with demonic spirits, just as the people did prior to Noah's flood.  Genesis 6 doesn't give much detail, but we know that wickedness pervaded that society, justifying its doom.  When Moses delivered the Law, he warned God's people not to follow the abominations of other nations. 

 

Moses warned...There shall not be found among you anyone that makes his son or daughter to pass through the fire, or that uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter or witch...or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer...for all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord...Deut. 18:10-12.

 

This text clearly reveals God's will regarding the evil spirits who dwell in the invisible darkness of this world -- do not seek their guidance or advice!  Even though this warning is from the Old Testament, the invisible demon spirits are the same, so the warning from God is still valid (see Acts 19:19).

 

The Apostle Peter said...Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour...resist him...I Pet. 5:8-9.  Peter admonishes us to be awake, aware and watchful because Satan, in the invisible realm, seeks our destruction.  39% of "believer's" have already thrown Peter's advice into the trash.  Since they are no longer resisting the wiles of Satan, could this be the reason that chaos and anarchy reign in our society today?

 

Do you know what insidious poison has paralyzed the message of God's Church in the 21st century?  Stay tuned...
