The Lord Brings Charges Against The Nations!


[Taken directly from Jeremiah Chapter 25; substituting America for Israel,
And making certain other adjustments to bring it into relevance for today.]

The Word came to the God appointed preachers of America
Concerning all the people of America:
Since I brought your forefathers to this land
And gave birth to this nation says the Lord,
Until this very day—the Word of the Lord has been given to His servants;
And that Word has been spoken to you again and again,
But you have not listened or paid any attention.
My appointed preachers said, 'Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways
And your evil practices, and you can stay in the land the Lord gave to you
And your fathers for ever and ever.
Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them;
Do not provoke Me to anger with what your hands have made.
Then I will not harm you.'

'But you did not listen to Me,' Declares the Lord,'
And you have provoked Me with what your hands have made,
And you have brought harm to yourselves.'

Therefore the Lord Almighty says this:
'Because you have not listened to My Words,
I will summon your enemies,' Declares the Lord.
I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants
And against all the surrounding nations.
I will completely destroy them and make them an object of horror
And scorn, and an everlasting ruin.
I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness,
The voices of bride and bridegroom, the sound of industry
And the light of the lamp.
This whole country will become a desolate wasteland,
And these nations who have served the Evil One will be extinguished.

The Cup Of God's Wrath
This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says to His preachers:
'Take from My hand this cup filled with the wine of My wrath
And make all the kingdoms on the face of the earth drink it.
And after that the Evil One himself will drink it.

'Let My prophets tell them,
'This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel says:
Drink, get drunk and vomit, and fall to rise no more
Because of the sword I will send among you,'
But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink, tell them,
'This is what the Lord Almighty says: You must drink it!
See I am beginning to bring disaster on America and all the nations.
And will you indeed go unpunished?
You will not go unpunished,
For I am calling down a sword upon all who live on the earth,
Declares the Lord Almighty.'

Now prophesy all these words against them and say to them:
'The Lord will roar from on high;
He will lift His voice from His holy dwelling
And roar mightily against the earth.
He will shout like those who tread the grapes,
Shout against all who live on the earth.
The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth,
For the Lord will bring charges against the nations;
He will bring judgment on all mankind and put the wicked to the sword,'
Declares the Lord.

This is what the Lord Almighty says:
'Look! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation;
A mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth.'

At that time those slain by the Lord will be everywhere--
From one end of the earth to the other.
They will not be mourned or gathered up or buried,
But will be like refuse lying on the ground.

Weep and wail, you shepherds;
Roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock.
For your time to be slaughtered has come;
You will fall and be shattered like fine pottery.
The shepherds will have nowhere to flee,
The leaders of the flock no place to escape.
Hear the cry of the shepherds,
The wailing of the leaders of the flock,
For the Lord is destroying their pasture.

The peaceful meadows will be laid waste
Because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
Like a Lion He will leave His lair,
And their land will become desolate
Because of the sword of the oppressor
And because of the Lord's fierce anger.

[The nations of the earth will soon learn 
That God is Sovereign over His Creation.
The more complete story is told in The Book Of Revelation.
The shepherds and leaders of the nations failed to listen to God's servants
And to regard the Word of God as important.
So they are done away with along with the god they served, Satan,
And his son, the Antichrist, The Beast of Revelation,
Who they worship and receive his “mark.”
They reject the Christ of God and worship instead “The Beast.”
Today, we are in the prelude to this final judgment of God upon the earth;
The prelude to the reveling of the son of Satan, the Antichrist.]

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Destroying Pastors, Preachers And Prophets


[Taken directly from Jeremiah Chapter 23; substituting America for Israel,
And making certain other adjustments to bring it into relevance for today.]

'Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep
Of My pasture!' Declares the Lord.
Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel,
Says to the shepherds who tend My people:

'Because you have scattered My flock and driven them away
And have not bestowed care on them,
I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done,'
Declares the Lord.

'I Myself will gather the remnant of My flock out of all the countries
Where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture,
Where they will be fruitful and increase in number.
I will place shepherds over them who will tend them,
And they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing,'
Declares the Lord.

'The days are coming,' Declares the Lord,
'When I will raise up to David a righteous Branch,
A King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land.
In his days The Israel Of God will be saved and live in safety.
This is the Name by which He will be called
The Lord Our Righteousness.

'So then, the days are coming,' Declares the Lord,
'When people will no longer say, 'As surely as the Lord lives,
Who brought America out of the land of their oppressors.
Out of the many lands where they could find no pasture.
At that time, they will live in the Presence of the King
In Jerusalem on Mount Zion.

Lying Prophets
Concerning the prophets:
My heart is broken within me; all my bones tremble.
I am like a drunken man, like a man overcome by wine,
Because of the Lord and His holy Words.
The land is full of adulterers; because of “the curse” [of false gods]
The land lies parched and the pastures in the desert are withered
The prophets follow an evil course and use their power unjustly.

Both prophet and priest are godless;
Even in My Temple I find their wickedness,' Declares the Lord.
Therefore their path will become slippery;
They will be banished to darkness And there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them in the year they are punished,' Declares the Lord.

Among the prophets of America I saw this repulsive thing:
They prophesied by other gods and led My people astray.
And among the prophets of America's cities I have seen something horrible:
They commit adultery and live a lie.
They strengthen the hands of evildoers, 
So that no one turns from his wickedness.
They are like Sodom to Me; the people of America are like Gomorrah.'

Therefore, this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets:
'I will make them eat bitter food and drink poisoned water,
Because from the prophets of America
Ungodliness has spread throughout the land.'

This is what the Lord almighty says:
'Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you;
They fill you with false visions from their own minds,
Not from the mouth of the Lord.
They keep saying to those who despise Me,
'The Lord says: You will have peace.'
And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts they say,
'No harm will come to you'
But which of them has stood in the council of the Lord
To see or to hear His Word?

See, the storm of the Lord will burst out in wrath,
A whirlwind swirling down on the heads of the wicked.
The anger of the Lord will not turn back
Until He fully accomplishes the purposes of His heart.

In the days to come you will understand it clearly.
I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message;
I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied.
But if they had stood in My council,
They would have turned the people
From their evil ways and from their evil deeds.

'Am I only a God nearby,' declares the Lord, and not a God far away?
Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?'
Declares the Lord.

'I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in My Name.
They say, 'I had a dream! I had a dream!'
How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets,
Who prophesy the delusions of their own minds?

They think the dreams they tell one another
Will make My people forget My Name,
Just as their fathers forgot My Name through worship of other gods.

Let the prophet who has a dream tell his dream,
But let the one who has My Word speak it faithfully.

For what has straw to do with grain?' Declares the Lord.
'Is not My Word like Fire,' declares the Lord,
Like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?

'Therefore,' Declares the Lord, 'I am against the prophets
Who steal from one another words supposedly from Me.
Yes,' declares the Lord, 'I am against the prophets
Who wag their own tongues and yet declare, 'The Lord declares.'
Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,' Declares the Lord.

They tell them and lead My people astray with their reckless lies,
Yet, I did not send or appoint them.
They do not benefit these people in the least,' Declares the Lord.

False Oracles And False Prophets
'When these people, or a prophet or a priest, ask you.
'What is the oracle of the Lord?'
Say to them, 'What oracle? I will forsake you, Declares the Lord.'

If a prophet or a priest or anyone else claims,
'This is the oracle of the Lord,' I will punish that man and his household.
This is what each of you keeps on saying to his friend or relative:
'What is the Lord's answer?' or 'What has the Lord spoken?'
But you must not mention 'The oracle of the Lord' again,

Because every man's own word becomes his oracle
And so you distort the Words of the Living God, the Lord Almighty, our God.

This is what you keep saying to a prophet:
'What is the Lord's answer to you?' or 'What has the Lord spoken?'
Although you claim, 'This is the oracle of the Lord,'
This is what the Lord says:
You used the words, 'This is the oracle of the Lord,'
Even though I told you that you must not claim,
'This is the oracle of the Lord.'

Therefore, I will surely forget you and cast you out of My Presence
Along with the cities I have given you.
I will bring upon you everlasting disgrace--
Everlasting shame that will not be forgotten.' (Jeremiah 23)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

God's Judgment Of America!


This is what the Lord says:
'Go to the White House of the President of the United States of America
And proclaim this message there:
'Here the Word of the Lord, O President of America,
You, your officials and your people who come through these gates.
This is what the Lord says:
Do what is just and right.
Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed.
Do no wrong or violence to the alien, the fatherless or the widow,
And do not shed innocent blood in this place.
For if you are careful to carry out these commands,
Then future presidents will come through the gates of this White House,
In their automobiles accompanied by their officials and their people.
But if you do not obey these commands, declares the Lord,
I swear by Myself that this White House will become a ruin.'

For this is what the Lord says about the With House
Of the President of the United States of America:
'Though you are like Gilead to Me, like the summit of Lebanon,
I will surely make you like a desert, like towns not inhabited.
I will send destroyers against you, each man with his weapons,
And they will cut up the construction of your fine house
And throw it into the fire.

People from many nations will pass by this city and will ask one another,
'Why has the Lord done such a thing to this great city?
And the answer will be:
'Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God
And have worshiped and served other gods.'

Do not weep for a president who dies or mourn his loss;
Rather, weep bitterly for those who live
And will never see America as I intended.
For this is what the Lord says about America's former evil presidents,
High officials, Judges and other leaders who are little remembered.
Who will remember them and the evil that they did?

'Woe to him who builds his home by unrighteousness,
His upper rooms by injustice, making his countrymen work for nothing,
Not paying them for their labor.

He says, 'I will will build myself a great place to live
With spacious upper rooms.'
So he makes large windows in it, panels it with the finest materials
And decorates it in red.

'Does it make you President to have more and more fine materials?
Did not those who were before you, who did what was right,
Have food and drink?
Those who did what was right, all went well with them.
They defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well.
Is that not what it means to “know” Me? Declares the Lord.

But your eyes and your heart are set only on dishonest gain,
On shedding innocent blood and on oppression and extortion;
On defying Me to My face with your institutionalization of abortion
And homosexuality;
Your attempt to force My people to do that which is against their conscience;
Your printing worthless money that robs from everyone;
Your saying: God bless America, when your heart is far from Me,
Therefore I cannot bless America as I long to.''

Therefore this is what the Lord says about those who pretended to serve Me,
They will not be mourned for.
They will have the burial of a donkey—
Dragged away and thrown outside the gates of the city.
All your allies will be crushed.
I warned you when you felt secure, but you said, 'I will not listen!'
This has been your way from your youth; you have not obeyed Me.
The wind will drive your shepherds away, and your allies will disappear.
Then you will be ashamed and disgraced because of all your wickedness.
You who live in the finest home,
How you will groan when pangs come upon you,
Pain like a woman in labor!

'As surely as I live,' declares the Lord, even if you [America]
Were My favorite son,
And were My signet ring on My right hand, I would still pull you off.
I will hand you over to those who seek your life, those you fear--
To your arch enemies.

Is the President of the Untied States of America a despised, broken pot,
And object no one wants?
Why will he and his countrymen be cast away?
O America, America, hear the Word of the Lord!
This is what the Lord says:
Record the presidency of the United States of America 
And the nation as a whole as childless, a country who will not prosper,
Soon, no one will sit in the position of President any more.

[This discourse was taken from Jeremiah 22.
It is what the Lord would speak to America today
Just as He spoke it to His beloved Israel and its rulers in the day of Jeremiah.
America has forgotten that The Lord Almighty is Sovereign over America
And all the nations of the earth; that the Lord requires OBEDIENCE.
They have forgotten the it was the Lord who gave America birth
And prospered her;
They have ignored the warnings of God's Word.
Soon, America will will learn the bitter lesson
That Israel did in the day of Jeremiah!]

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Who Speaks For God?


Why do not more preachers speak for God?
Because it is not popular to speak about God as a Consuming Fire.
There is no threat in speaking about the blessings of God.
But when one speaks about God's inevitable judgment for sin,
Both personal and national, he comes against the ruler of this world, Satan.
Then the emissaries of Satan are dispatched both in the Church and outside.
Then the battle is engaged.
The battle is not engaged until this happens.

However, God will uphold his standard of holiness
Whether or not those who claim to speak for Him do or not.
God's judgment is on this nation at this time;
America is being ground to powder before your eyes.
Who has blown the trumpet in Zion to tell God's people this reality?
Who among those who claim the Name of Christ can stand this reality?
Listen to a man who spoke for God:

Jeremiah's Complaint
O Lord, you deceived me, and I was deceived;
You overpowered me and prevailed.
I am ridiculed all day long; everyone mocks me.
When ever I speak, I cry out proclaiming violence and destruction.
So the Word of the Lord has brought me insult and reproach all day long.
'But if I say, 'I will not mention Him or speak any more in His Name,'
His Word is in my heart like a burning fire, shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.
I hear man whispering, 'terror on every side!
Report him! Let's report him!'
All my friends are waiting for me to slip, saying,
'Perhaps he will be deceived; then we will prevail over him
And take our revenge on him.'

But the Lord is with me like a mighty warrior;
So my persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced;
Their dishonor will never be forgotten.
O Lord Almighty, You who examine the righteous
And probe the heart and mind,
Let me see your vengeance upon them,
For to You I have committed my cause.

Sing to the Lord! Give praise to the Lord!
He rescues the life of the needy from the hands of the wicked.

Cursed be the day I was born!
May the day my mother bore me not be blessed!
Cursed be the man who brought my father the news,
Who made him very glad, saying,
'A child is born to you—a son!'
May that man be like the towns the Lord overthrew without pity.
May he hear wailing in the morning, a battle cry at noon.
For he did not kill me in the womb, with my mother as my grave,
Her womb enlarged forever.
Why did I ever come out of the womb to see trouble and sorrow
And to end my days in shame? (Jeremiah 20:7-18)

Those who claim the name of Christ;
Who will not receive and embrace the Whole Truth
Will receive the reward of the false prophets;
Who refuse to speak the Truth;
Those who will say Lord! Lord! Did we not...

If you receive the man of God as the man of God;
The man who speaks the whole Truth;
You will receive the man of God's reward!
Remember how this all ENDS!

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Christ: The Only Noble Cause!

Christ Jesus alone is the only noble cause that exists in this world,
And He is not of this world.
Outside of Christ Jesus there is no righteousness,
No justice, no peace, no love, no joy.
Outside of Christ Jesus all is dead;
Simply waiting for the grave the Eternal Hell that follows.

Every person is born spiritually dead; there is no life in them.
Christ alone is LIFE; apart from Him there is no LIFE.
He created all that is and He sustains all that is.
Without Him nothing would exist.

He came to this world as a baby in the most humble of circumstances.
He came to save those who would put their faith in Him;
Those who would believe that He is the Christ of God,
The Messiah, the Anointed One.
The only provision of God for Eternal LIFE.

Saving those who believe is His cause.
This is the only noble cause in this world.
All the works of man come and go; kingdoms come and they go;
Leaders come and they go.
The wreckage of human history speaks for itself.

Christ is the only Eternal Person; He is the only Eternal LIFE.
He offers Eternal LIFE to all who will believe He is God's Christ.
For those who believe, He is their Savior.
He is the only WAY out of this world alive.

The Salvation He offers is free of any worldly cost.
However, it does cost everything else; body, soul, mind and spirit;
Yes, even this natural life itself.
In exchange He gives Eternal LIFE.
It is your life for His LIFE! It is ALL or Nothing!
He gave ALL,  now we must give ALL!

Christ came bringing the Kingdom of God to earth.
He said that no one will ever see this Kingdom
Because it lives inside those who believe.
It is Christ in a person their hope of Glory.
There is no other hope in this world; the world is otherwise hopeless.

Christ came to this world seeking a Bride.
A Bride with whom He will spend Eternity.
The Bride Of Christ, The Israel Of God, The New Jerusalem.
He created “Time” to achieve this end. This is the only purpose of “Time.”
When His Bride is complete, “Time” will end.
Time” will end exactly as His Word describes.
Time” ends in a tragedy for most of mankind.
Most of mankind go to an Eternal Hell,
Having refuse the Eternal LIFE, Christ Jesus freely offers;
An Eternal Hell created for Satan and his demons.

Let those of us who believe,
Join with Christ in the only noble cause that exists.
The cause of standing for and “in” Christ.
Calling to repentance those who hear and respond
To the “still small” voice of God.
Realizing that no one comes to Christ unless the Father calls them;
That many are called but few are chosen.
The WAY of Christ is a narrow WAY, that only a few find;
A narrow WAY that only a few are willing to “live.”

As the world we know is ground to powder before our eyes
Because of its sin and its rejection of the Christ of God;
God is making a final call to those with ears to hear.
This final call will be the greatest in-gathering of souls the world has seen.
You and I can be a part of the most noble cause there is;
The only noble cause;
The cause of Christ Jesus in these Last Days.

Father thank You for Your Word,
It is the Food and the Bread of LIFE;
Even as You Lord Jesus;
You are the Food and the Bread of LIFE.
Bless Your Word to our hearts,
To our souls to our spirits, to our minds in Jesus Name.
Help us, enable us, move us to do Your will Oh God.
Amen! And Amen!

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Do Men Make Their Own Gods?


Do men make their own gods?
Yes, but they are not gods!'
Therefore I will teach them
This time I will teach them My power and might.
Then they will know that My Name is the Lord. (Jeremiah 16:20-21)

This is God's Word to America and all the nations, today!
America and the nations have as many gods as they have streets.
Every man is his own god!
Every man does that which is right in his own eyes.

Does not each one say in his heart:
I will ascend to Heaven;
I will raise my throne above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of the assembly,
On the utmost heights of the sacred mountain.
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.” (Isaiah 14:13-14)

Because of this heart-set; this blasphemy;
They will join their god in his final resting place:

All your pomp has been brought down to the grave,
Along with the noise of your harps;
Maggots are spread out beneath you and worms cover you.
How you have fallen from Heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
You who once laid low the nations! (Isaiah 14:11-12)

Yet, those who have kept the command of God and endured patiently:
I will keep you from the hour of trial
That is going to come upon the whole world
To test those who live on the earth.
I am coming soon.
Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
(Revelation 3:10-11)

As God has spoken, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Think About Such Things!


What ever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, what ever is pure,
Whatever is lovely, what ever is admirable—
If anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me,
Or seen in me—put into practice.
And the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:8:-9)

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith,
Who for the joy set before Him endured the cross,
Scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the Throne of God.
Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men,
So that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted
To the point of shedding your blood.
And you have forgotten that word of encouragement
That address you as sons [and daughters]:

'My son [my daughter], do not make light of the Lord's discipline,
And do not lose heart when He rebukes you,
Because the Lord disciplines those He loves,
And He punishes everyone He accepts as a son [or daughter].'
(Hebrews 12:2-6)

In the midst of the chaos and confusion, rancor, lies, deception,
Empty words and evil of this fallen world we live in,
There is Christ Jesus calling us to Glory!
We, His Bride, were the joy set before Him as He endured the cross.
Now, He must be the joy set before us as we fix our eyes on Him--
Christ who says to us:

'In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart! I have overcome the world. (John 16:33)

And we will overcome this world by the power of Christ in us:
By the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony,
Not loving this life so much as to shrink from death. (Revelation 12:11)

Therefore we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away,
Yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
For our light momentary troubles are achieving for us an ETERNAL GLORY
That far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is ETERNAL.
(2 Corinthians 4:16-18)

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us,
That we should be called the children of God!
And that is what we are!
The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
Dear friends, now we are children of God,
And what we will be has not yet been made known.
But we know that when He appears, we will be like Him,
For we shall see Him as He is.
Everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself just as He is pure.
(1 John 3:1-3)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

The Ignorance Of God's People!


The God of Creation loved His people Israel.
Nevertheless, when they abandoned His Law and His Word
And all the prophets He sent to them,
They were destroyed and taken into captivity.
God was on their lips but their hearts are far from Him as it is today!

God's people in America behave as if their God
Is not the God of The Old Testament as well as the New;
As if today, God does not tear down as well as build up
As He did in the day of Jeremiah.
O yes, today, the people of God are too modern for that;
The Book Of Revelation has no bearing on them.
Their preachers are skilled at telling of the blessings of God
Without telling of the requirements of God.
What shall become of the lot of them?
They will learn that God is the God of the Old as well as the New Covenant.
They will learn that God is Love and a Consuming Fire.

God's people have ignored the prophets that God sent to them.
They ignore those among them today, who preach the truth.
Today, America is being ground to powder because of its sin.
Who is blowing the trumpet in Zion?
Who is calling for the sacred assembly?

Yes, there will be a Remnant, a Bride among God's people
Who understands the requirements of God.
She loves God with all Her heart, soul, mind and strength;
She seeks first and above all else the Kingdom of God;
She worships God in Spirit and in Truth;
She is holding back the battle at the gate in the strength of Her God.
She is praying with all that is in Her,
That God's Kingdom will come and His will done on earth as in Heaven;
That Her Christ, Jesus will return soon; and He will!

Let those who are at ease in Zion beware!
You are about to see that God does not change!
He is the God of blessing as well as the God of Judgment!
He hates sin! Sin destroys everything!
Sin is destroying America while God's people sleep!
Well they will not sleep for long;
The day of judgment is at hand!

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

The Nations, Like Children!


Step by step the nations are like children playing into the hands of Satan.
They are like birds following bread crumbs to a snare;
Like children playing a rigged game of Monopoly.
Why do they do this?
Because the refuse to acknowledge the Sovereign God of Creation;
They have refused God's Christ, Jesus, the only Savior;
Because they are godless and know no better.
They are like spoiled willful children determined to have their way.
They refuse to acknowledge that this world
And all that is in it belongs to God;
That the only WAY is the WAY of Christ Jesus.
They are determined to go their own way; a way the seems right to them.
The end thereof is death as the Word of God declares.
They are deceived by the deceiver, Satan.

At the deception of Satan, they have spent themselves into oblivion.
In pursuit of their godless, socialist, communist paradises.
Now they must pay the price.
But they do not want to pay the price,
So they will continue their rebellion against God and spend even more.
They will spend until there is no more to spend.
And then, in their despair they will clamor for a “savior,”
And Satan will gladly supply.
This is as transparent and obvious as the day is long,
Yet, because of their sin,
The nations are incapable of changing their direction.

Today, they could repent and God would forgive them.
There would still be a price to pay, but there would be hope for tomorrow.
But the nations are hardened in their sin,
Just as Pharaoh in the day of Moses was hardened in his sin.
They cannot see any way but their willful way; they are blind to the Truth;
They are blind to God and His Christ, Jesus and The Word of God.
They are the blind leading the blind with the ditch fast approaching.
God watches on, and all those with eyes to see watch on,
As this incredible drama unfolds.

The nations are like drunks staggering from bar to bar.
They are getting more inebriated at each stop.
They will continue until they are face down in the mud.
Which is exactly where Satan is leading them.
Their sin has rendered them senseless and powerless.

The nations will soon prostrate themselves before the son of Satan.
They will not surrender to God and His Christ, Jesus
But they will willingly surrender all to the son of Satan.
They will receive his “mark” and worship him.

Let those who can “see,” flee Babylon as Christ Jesus admonished.
The time to do so is short. Put on the garments of Christ;
Hide yourself in Christ and He will come for you as He promised! 

The Spirit and the Bride say, 'Come!'
And let him who hears say, 'Come!'
Whoever is thirsty, let him come;
And whoever wishes,
Let him take the free gift of the water of LIFE. (Revelation 22:17)

Behold, Christ is coming soon! (Revelation 22:7)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Who Knows God?


Now this is eternal LIFE: that they may KNOW You, the only True God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. (John 17:3)

Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
The man who thinks he knows something
Does not know as he ought to know.
But the man who loves God is known by God. (1 Corinthians 8:1-3)

Anyone who is not working out his salvation in fear and trembling,
Does not know God. (Philippians 2:12)
If you do not fear God, in reverence and awe, you cannot love Him.
God is Love and a Consuming Fire.
The Consuming Fire of God upholds His absolute Holiness.
The Grace, Mercy, and Forgiveness of God uphold His Love.
Without Holiness there is no Love.
Without Love there is no Holiness.
Holiness and Love comprise the essence of God.

No one knows God who does not understand that:
Sin is the scourge of mankind,
Every man is born with a sin nature; born a sinner,
Without God's forgiveness every person is destined for an Eternal Hell.

Christ Jesus is the only God sent Savior for this fallen world.
Without the cleansing of the blood of Christ, there is no forgiveness of sin.
Unless you are buried with Christ, into His death burial and resurrection
Through the waters of baptism, you remain a sinner.
Without being Born Again, of the Spirit of Christ, you have no hope;
Without Christ living in you have no hope.
It is Christ in you the hope of Glory and nothing else. (Colossians 1:27)

The command of Christ is that you be Baptized in the Holy Spirit
And with the cleansing fire of that same Spirit;
That you have the same experience as did the 120 on The Day of Pentecost.
(Acts 1:4-5)

Without faith, no one can please God.
Faith without works is dead, and works without faith is dead.
(James 2:14-26)

Once one comes to faith in Christ Jesus,
There is a fallen world and the evil one who rules it to overcome.
Those who overcome, do so by the blood of the Lamb, Christ,
And the word of their testimony;
Not loving this life so much as to shrink from death. (Revelation 12:11)

We overcome by the power of the Spirit of Christ living in us
As Christ alone is able to overcome the evil one.

Those who know God, love Him with all their heart, soul, mind and strength
And their neighbor as themselves.
They seek first and above all else the Kingdom of God.
They worship God in Spirit and in Truth.
They have given up their life in this life to obtain the LIFE of Christ;
They have denied themselves and taken up their cross daily to follow Christ;
They acknowledge Christ and His Word before men,
And Christ acknowledges them before His Father in Heaven. (Luke 9:23-27)

They have maintained their First Love;
Their passion for God and His Kingdom. (Revelation 2:1-7)
They pray fervently that the Kingdom of God would come to earth
As in Heaven.
Understanding that this prayer calls for the dissolution
Of the kingdom of this world, the kingdom of Satan;
And that this prayer will be answered exactly as described in God's Word.

The question each person must answer is: Do you know God?
All Eternity is at stake for each one of us!
This world in its present form is passing away; it will soon be gone!
What then, for you?

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
