Sometimes there are biblical truths taught by the scriptures that some don’t understand. This does not mean that they are not true, just that we were given enough evidence of the “EndTimes”to know of what’s coming. We just don’t know what exact order that they will unfold. I do know that since Jesus came the first time and was crucified and arose again, ascended back to the Father, He is coming again. The Apostle Paul gave plenty of information concerning the “End Time” just before Jesus’ return to set up His millennial kingdom of what we should look for. Many are Pre Tribulation, many are Mid Tribulation and many are
Post Tribulation rapture. On thing we can be sure of is the the Rapture( taken away)will take place. Jesus, Himself said that His chosen would be saved from the wrath to come. The Great Tribulation is a seven year period when God will use Satan to unleash His wrath on a sinful, evil world. Many debates are held as to when the rapture will occur. To debate this with someone is useless. I won’t change them and they won’t change me. Paul preached that the rapture was imminent in his time and he said it would be imminent in our time. Many biblical scholars say the same thing. Adrian Rogers preached that the rapture could happen at anytime. Jeff Kinsey, David Jeremiah, John Walvoord, Mark Hitchcock, Tim LaHaye, Randy Alcorn and David Holowitz to name a few are Pre-trib. All of my research and studying the scriptures has led me to conclude that the rapture could happen at anytime.

“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4:13-18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭1:9-10‬KJV.

“For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬
I beseech you brethren to not get tangled up in a debate with another over your beliefs about the rapture. Just remember that it coming and probably sooner than some may think or hope. God is going to put an end to this age and his chosen will be gathered away to Him and so shall we ever be with the Lord. His second coming will bring to an end of the Great Tribulation and mark the beginning of His millennial reign here on earth. Just be prepared for eternity when it gets here. What are you going to do for Jesus?

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I acted like a child but when I became a man, I put away childish things. When I was a child, 60 plus years ago I only remember one man that had tattoos. He was a truck driver that lived in our area. I thought then how stupid he looked. He was my dad’s friend. I was always withdrawn when he came around. Times have really changed, but not for the better. They have progressively gotten worse. Nowadays it’s rare to see a human being that is not covered in tattoos and ornaments hanging from everyplace that isn’t covered with markings in the skin. This is evidence of how our society has reverted to ancient pagan society such as Ethiopia, Egypt and the other countries around the Mediterranean Sea. Israel was one of the worst in olden times at this kind of revelry. Instead of holding themselves to a higher standard they chose the lifestyle of the countries they were enslaved in. Persia(modern day Iran) had some of the most decorated leaders. The Medes were no different. The Greeks and the Romans were just as embellished. Just look at the garments and jewelry that the Pope wears. The Muslim countries are no different than any of these. Now America has adapted to this same type of lifestyle. Very few Christian denominations have kept there bodies as the Lord made them. I was sitting in my chair last night and was glancing at the “Voice” on television. These performers were dressed as elaborately as the ancient hierarchy did. In Our country it’s rare to see a performer as modestly dressed as George Strait. He is among the dying breed of singers that sing their heart out and don’t need a gimmick to draw a crowd. I guess people are so tied up in self that they will do anything to draw attention to themselves. It’s a sad state of affairs that we have to go against God to present ourselves in a decorative type of fashion. This kind of attitude is centered in the worst sin in Gods list, “pride.” Pride is what made the Devil, the Devil. Just to give you some idea as to what pride can do, here is an example. “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! 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: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭14:12-17‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Solomon asked God for wisdom. God granted his prayer. He was the wisest man of all time. He wrote, “With Pride Comes Contention.” Pride will cause you to miss Heaven. He also wrote that God loves a penitent heart. Pride goes before destruction and a haughty look before a fall. With pride comes shame. Sadly people don’t give shameful lifestyle a second thought. They no longer fear God. He’s going to say “enough” one of the days soon and Hell is coming to the Earth.

The biggest lie ever perpetrated in the world 🌎 is that all these people that have died from Covid, cancer, diabetes and all these other ailments. Not a one that has ever died, did so because of the illness they had. They died because of sin. Enoch and Elijah are the only two men that haven’t ever died. I believe they will get there turn in the Great Tribulation. Gods rules never change. “It is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgment.” I don’t believe God would exempt these two great men of God from death when He sent His only begotten Son to die for our sin.
They said my mom had Covid and they listed that as the cause of death on her death certificate. That was a lie just like on most death certificates. If they would list SIN as the cause of death , then they all would be right. This shows how man has pushed God aside and relies on his own. No mask, no vaccine, no magic potion, nothing that man can do will stop death. Man has tried many different thing to try to cheat death but still we all are going to keep our appointment with death. Thanks be to God for providing a way to escape the sting of death. The grave has no victory over a Christian. People don’t like to speak of death because it’s so painful. I understand how they feel, two very special ladies in my life have met their own appointment with death. My grandmother Lee and my mom are missed greatly by me every single day. It hurts to not be able to talk to them. One day soon I’ll get to see them again, and all my friends and family that have left this earthly walk that were a child of His. If you are not saved you are not prepared for death’s call. You need a personal relationship with my Jesus in the worst kind of way. Paul in his first letter to the church at Corinth while in Prison makes a good explanation of why we shouldn’t fear death. “Oh death, where is thy sting. The sting of death is sin.” Oh, sinner, you can have that relationship with Jesus right now. You don’t need a Ph’d, a license or a diploma to obtain salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ. All you have to do is believe on Him and ask him to save you. Simple as that.

People too often put too much worth in their animals. My dad put a high regard for his animals. He had a name for everyone of his cows, dogs and cats. Most all animal lovers regard their pets as family members. They will get angry if someone does harm to them. We become emotionally attached to our pets. We even put them in the same class as our children. We have completely forgotten what animals were created for by God. I know of instances where pets were harmed or killed because someone had animosity against its owner. I also know of people getting hurt or killed because they harmed or killed someone’s pets. God has strict rules concerning the treatment of and the taking of peoples animals. Firstly He tells us thou shalt not steal. This includes pets. If you take or kill someone’s pets(animals), you are to replace it. These rules are found in the Old Testament. These Laws God handed down to Moses. He also tells us not to worship idols. Esteeming animals as equal to humans is idol worship. God put man on one level and animals on a lower level. Man is the only creation of God that has a soul, and has the ability to sin. Man has a sin nature and animals have instinct. There is a big difference. Animals were created for man’s use here on earth. There will be animals here on when Christ is given his millennial reign. That millennial reign will begin immediately following His second return after the Great Tribulation. Satan will be bound for a thousand years. Immediately following the battle of Gog and Magog spoken of in Rev 20:8 the earth will be destroyed and that will include the animals. The earth will be burned so deep that everything will be destroyed and the earth will have to be replanted by God. Praise be to my Holy God for His righteousness.

“And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭13:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬
“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬
All these occurrences are taking place today, The Taliban has Afghanistan is underseige, an earthquake in Haiti, Covid 19, homeless and starving people in America and throughout the world. What other evidence does people need to show how ungodly the world has become. Americans are worshipping idols and false gods. Unnatural lusts are the picture of our society. Two young women were in the Restuarant where I ate today they were covered in tattoos and body ornaments were all over their face, ones hair was pink and the other ones hair was navy blue. Our society has sunken lower than a snakes belly in a wagon rut. These two young ladies were holding hands and left onlookers with the appearance that they were practicing le****ns. The Bible clearly tells us, “Abstain from all appearance of evil.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:22‬ ‭KJV‬‬ If I had to make a guess I would say they weren’t Christians. I missed a good opportunity to witness to these young ladies but I hope to get another chance. They ordered their food to go and weren’t there but a few minutes. I hope their parents have talked to them about Jesus. I will pray for them and ask that you do too. There is no one so good that they don’t need salvation and there is no one so bad that they can’t be saved. Today could be someone you know last chance. We are not promised tomorrow. Satan would like nothing better than to convince you you have plenty of time. Satan’s time is limited too. He’s working hard to keep sinners from the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

There are people who are in the business of enticing other to do wrong. You might think it’s not anyone’s business, especially mine, but it really is. You might say, “they don’t force others to do wrong.” This is far from the truth. We are held responsible for being a stumbling block hindering another from the saving grace of Jesus Christ. These businesses that sell alcohol as a calling card to push the other things they sell are everywhere. The Bible says we are to “abstain from the appearance of evil. This is something most people, including Christians, fail miserably at each and every day. Instilling in our children to always do the right thing is one of the hardest things a parent can ever do. When you see the fruits of that endeavor is very rewarding and gratifying. Evil is everywhere and takes many forms. The only way to have children that try their hardest to do their best at doing good things is to do the same thing before them to see it in action. Once you tempt another to commit sin it brings hardship on every member of your family and theirs. We really are our brothers keeper. I don’t know about you but I don’t need or want someone to help me sin. I’m already too good at it. Paul said, “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.”
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬
If we do everything humanly possible to walk in a straight line for others to see then when judgment comes we have less to answer for.

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12:13‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Man has strayed far from his duty. He was condemned to eternity in Hell. God’s love is equal to his demand for judgment, so he provided a sin bearer the saved those who really love him. That sin bearer was God’s only begotten son. The truth of the virgin birth is so complicated that it’s can not be explained, only accepted by faith. For we are saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, not of works so that no one can boast. It is a precious gift from God. Jesus said, Not all that says, “Lord, Lord” will inherit the kingdom of God. No one can come to the father unless he be drawn by Him. We are a chosen people, chosen before the creation of the Heavens and the Earth. Only by the blood of the sacrificial Lamb can we enter the third Heaven. Serving the Lord is a daily privilege. We are to serve Him with gladness, praising him in worship and song. God is a spirit, we are to worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Drugs will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay and make you do things you don’t want to do. They will tear your body apart like nothing you can ever imagine. You don’t control the drugs, they control you. There is no safe drug, alcohol, ni****ne and “recreational drugs”are deadly. Some are worse than others but they all are bad. Everyday tragedy strikes our families because of drug use. Immorality is one of the greatest addictions that Satan temps us with. “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬
“Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;”
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1:9-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “
“He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:7-8‬ ‭KJV
It is recorded, He/she that lives by the sword will die by the sword. The sword of immorality will cause your destruction.

The most precious thing our creator endowed us with is a soul. Not one of God’s other creation was given a soul. No other has the ability to sin. No other needs redemption from sin. He made us above every living creature that was created. God is a spirit and to be with God man has to be born-again into a sinless spirit filled world. We are to worship God in Spirit and truth. The first prayer that God answers is our confessional prayer for Salvation. We are saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Yesterday really brought the hammer down on the importance of Salvation. I sometimes forget how much our God loves us to have provided a sin bearer for the perpetuation of my Sin. As I gazed down at that lifeless body my first thought was the status of his relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. It made me grateful for my Salvation. I also shed tears for the family and myself. To some people death is not given a second thought. As I stared into the face of death, I became upset. There are so many people that have not made preparation for their spiritual death. That is the second time God has showed me death of the body in that situation. It’s a lot different than viewing a body in a casket. This one made a profound effect on me. It’s going to take time for this to get better, if ever in this earthly walk. If you are not sure you are not saved or if you are lost and going to Hell when death comes, today is the day of Salvation. We are not promised tomorrow! Jesus is softly and tenderly calling all sinners, “Come Home.” Repentance and one big prayer will change your life forever. It did mine!

Hell is going to be full of people’s souls who had good intentions. Good intentions account for nothing. Those who live by the sword will die by the sword. Satan wins every day in the lives of poor ignorant people. The Bible says that there is more joy in Heaven over one soul that is saved than any one can imagine. Satan and his demons are glad when they fool someone into not serving the Lord. This means they will have more to keep them company in Hell. Do not be deceived, whatsoever you sow, that is exactly what you’ll reap: if you sow corruption, you will receive the penalty of corruption. Today’s events really hit hard. Images were indelibly etched in my mind that won’t ever go away. Families are hurting! Evil lurks in every corner. No one is safe. No family is immune from the evil that is surfacing all over our world. Innocence is long gone. I’m numb and can’t seem to make any sense of what I saw. We live in a society of addicts, addicted the worship of Idols. Idols take many different forms. Lust of the eye and lust of the body are idols. Things we feel and things we see can cause us to miss Heaven. Jesus said, straight is the way an narrow is the path that leads to Heaven, and few there are that will enter in. This tells me that it takes more that just saying so, it means that we must show it’s so. We must live it to claim it. Many talk a good game but they are truly a bad player. Many who talk the talk will walk straight into destruction. This is so sad too. Jesus wants that no one should perish but perish is what many will do because they have been deceived by the Great Deceiver, (Satan). Change is a not requirement for Salvation as much as it is proof that change has taken place. Only trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ will effect a change from the old into the new. You must be born again. Satan couldn’t fool Jesus, what makes you think you can? A lifetime of service to the Lord Jesus Christ is a life well spent.

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭9:27‬ ‭KJV‬‬
ap·point·ed
adjective: appointed
1.(of a time or place) decided on beforehand; designated.
People sometimes forget with all their planning and acquiring that the has been a time appointed for each one of us to meet our maker. Most hope that time is later rather than sooner. In fact all plans we make are with the latter in mind. Some put of salvation because they believe the Devil’s lie that they have plenty of time for salvation. The Devil doesn’t know when our time is but he’s counting on certain circumstances to happen and many will miss out on Heaven. Tomorrow could be your day, maybe even tonight. Everyone should make plans before that time comes. You will keep that appointment. You can’t be late even if you tried. The writer of Hebrews(probably Paul) make that real plain. Paul was facing his appointment in an Roman prison. Paul was soon to be beheaded. He was ready to meet the Lord in the air. Jesus promised to save those that hold on to faith in Him. As time goes by, keeping the faith is going to get harder and harder for a Christian. Only by holding on to Jesus when the tuff times come and believe me tuff times are on the horizon. Those that haven’t accepted Christ’s free pardon from sin are looking at some terrible times ahead. The Antichrist isn’t going to be a circus clown, he will set out to annihilate anyone who refuses to take the mark of the beast on their arm or forehead. That time is not going to be a “walk in the park.” It’s going to be a great time of suffering and death for men women and children. Satan’s Superman is going to kill at will. No one is going to be exempt from his anger except the church when it’s raptured. I hope you will not put off embracing Jesus’ free pardon from sin. Today is the only day you have. If you were to die tonight, where would you spend eternity?

It has gotten to where all you see on tv is pure sin and abominable situations. Does this not alarm anyone but me? Many people put up a screen to hide their actions but they are only fooling themselves. I wonder what people would think if fire and brimstone were rained down from Heaven on them and their good intentions. It is alarming what excuses people will throw at you when someone catches them messing up. God will punish unforgiven sin. God will not be mocked! Whatever you sow, you will harvest. People have no respect for others or themselves. They will do anything that makes them feel good and do it at any cost. Drugs, alcohol, sexual immorality, fornication are just a few things that they flaunt before the eyes of mankind and God. Man cannot ebb these horrible things others do. Alcohol and drug consumption has destroyed many families and is way beyond epidemic proportions. Homosexual scenes are broadcast many times a day. People have taken it upon themselves to decide they are not the gender they was born with. People live in an inebriated state due to the influence of pain killers and booze. Children are being targeted to do any sinful act that the sordid imagination of evil men and women. God, on the other hand will punish these lawbreakers with the full penalty of His wrath. Lot tried to bargain with God over the immorality of S***m. God told Lot if he could find 5 just men that he wouldn’t destroy S***m. Guess what, there wasn’t one. Only Lot and his family escaped. The people of S***m wanted to have sexual relations with the two angels that God sent to convince Lot to leave. America and the world is ripe for judgment.
After the rapture there won’t be one just man left on Earth. I believe that great event is on the horizon. There will be moaning and gnashing of teeth and people praying for the mountains to fall on them to hide them from the wrath of the Lamb. Jesus came to first time to seek and save what was lost. His second coming will be something no one will want to behold. When the Angel pour out the seven bowls of judgment all who took the number of the beast on their arm or forehead will feel the full power of His wrath.
