Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

IS THE ECLIPSE A "SIGN" FROM GOD?



August 21, 2017
Does God have a message for us in the total eclipse of the sun?

The Bible makes it clear that God created the sun and the moon to serve as "signs." 
"And God said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens...and let them be for signs and for seasons...'" (Genesis 1:14).

So what is a "sign?" 
It is something that points beyond itself. It is not reality itself, but simply points to it, like a sign out in front of a restaurant that lets you know you've reached your destination. 
A sign is a symbol, a pointer, a indication, a token of something beyond itself.
Peter echoes Genesis 1 in Acts 2, where he quotes Joel at length. 
"And I will show wonders in the heavens above, and signs on the earth below...the sun shall be turned to darkness..." (Acts 2:19-20a).

So what happens with the interplanetary bodies, particularly the sun and the moon, are intended to signify things beyond themselves, which invites us to consider what those things might be.
Now in the thoughts I express here, I am not all pretending that I have received some form of revelation from God about the meaning he wants us to attach to a total eclipse of the sun. 
This is simply an effort to ponder this sign in the heavens and speculate as to its possible spiritual implications. 
God knew that this precise event would come at this precise moment in our nation's history, and it is entirely appropriate for us to ponder its significance.
It is intriguing that when God speaks of the role of the sun and the moon in Genesis, the sun is identified as the heavenly body designed to "rule the day," while the moon is designed to "rule the night" (Genesis 1:19).

The sun, if it is a symbol of anything, is certainly a symbol of God's radiant truth, which is intended to reveal, to illuminate, and to enlighten every soul on planet earth. 
John uses this as a metaphor to describe the advent of Christ. 
"In him was life, and the life was the light of men" (John 1:4). Jesus is further described as "the true light, which enlightens everyone coming into the world" (John 1:9).
The night, on the other hand, is a symbol of spiritual darkness, deception, and error. Jesus himself used this metaphor when he said, 
"This is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil" (John 3:19).
The path of this total eclipse of the sun is remarkable, in that it crosses over the entire continental United States, almost perfectly bisecting America from the Northwest to the Southeast. And in that path, the sun will be perfectly blotted out, by the ruler of the night, plunging all of America in its path into virtual total darkness.

This is a metaphor, or a sign, of the work of the Prince of Darkness in obscuring the light of God's truth. 
Satan, and those who unwittingly serve as his accomplices by resisting the public acknowledgement of God and seeking to repress the expression of Christian faith in our land, are bringing on us a dark night of the national soul.
We, as God's people, must resist this eclipsing of God's light by engaging in spiritual warfare against "the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places" of which Ephesians 6:12 speaks. 
We must fight, using the weapons of our warfare, which are "not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:4), to resist the encroaching darkness through prayer and proclamation.
We must fight the darkness that we may return this nation to an unapologetic acknowledgement and embrace of the God of the Founders and his transcendent standard for human behavior as enshrined in the Ten Commandments. 
It is through these two classic, foundational American ideals – reverence for God and for his standards for life – that we can reclaim this land from spiritual darkness.
As the Creator of the universe, God has designed the movement of the heavenly bodies such that an eclipse of the sun lasts only for a short season, after which the sun emerges once again in all of its powerful, resplendent, and unquenchable glory. 
What God will do in the heavenly world we can see can and must be mirrored in the heavenly world we cannot see.

By his grace, may his glorious truth emerge once again from the darkness and fill this land with his pure, unfiltered,and radiant light.

My comments: Today, God's Glorious Truth is seen in those who Belong to Him, as it has since the beginning of Time. There have always been those who Honored God and His Word above all else. Just as true, is the fact that, like Israel, God's people fall away from Faith in Him. Today, America has Ceased to Honor God and His Word, and is in Overt Rebellion against Him. Because of this America is falling apart. Only REPENTANCE can change this downward spiral America is in.
