My Dear Reader when I wake up many times throughout the night and the same thing I hear gets said to me, I begin to write.
This blog's description makes reference to the Watchman on the wall as it was in ancient times of the people of God.
That the blood of the people would be charged to that Watchman with regards to whether or not he warned people of a pending doom. Should he not and yet knew their blood would be on his hands for not telling them. Should he warn them and they ignore him then their blood be on their own hands. Should he warn them and they listen to him they and would have saved themselves.
In my heart of hearts I know that worldly events are picking up speed again. If it's not been noticed, start noticing my Dear Reader, because these events were foretold in the Bible. To read about the Third Temple in the Bible is one thing, to hear of government officials openly declaring that they will fully support the building of the Third Temple on the Temple Mount says to all: the curtain is about to go up on the book of Revelation, of Ezekiel, of Daniel and all other places in the Scriptures. The King is coming.
Yes this isn't written like other posts but then again I am the writer, the person dictating what is written isn't me. I have not chosen what's written unless directed to use current events or experiences of my life.
The King is coming. World events are re-centering around Israel. Tiny little Israel who is smaller than the state of Rhode Island in the United States. Tiny little Israel is being defended by God as He has said He would do. He chose them, they didn't choose him.
My take on current events is this: be sure of your salvation in Christ Jesus. Be sure that you are saved. What day, hour, minute or second that Jesus will return for His Church we do not know. Many have tried to rush it and claim knowledge of it. Only to be proven to be false prophets and false teachers. Romans 10 is a great place to dwell on confirming that you indeed are saved.
"But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!” However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they have; “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world.” But I say, surely Israel did not know, did they? First Moses says, “I will make you jealous by that which is not a nation, By a nation without understanding will I anger you.” And Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who did not seek Me, I became manifest to those who did not ask for Me.” But as for Israel He says, “All the day long I have stretched out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.” Romans 10:8-21.
What will happen, exactly, when Jesus returns? For those saved in Christ Jesus, instantly they will be ushered into the presence of Jesus. Joining Him in the clouds to leave this world and forever be with Him.
What happens to the world is global chaos. Global instances of catastrophic events. Plane crashes, innumerable vehicle crashes. Innumerable construction accidents. Billions of children missing who weren't old enough to understand good from evil. Billions across the world dying because of the lives of Believers leaving the world.
A world leader will arise to claim that he is the answer to all that's going wrong and that everyone must trust in him. The masses will indeed follow him. Out of desperation, out of necessity, people will do whatever he says. He will reform the global economic climate to fit his vision for it. Those who are alive and still seek the God of the Bible will become enemies of the state. People will turn in friends, acquaintances, family, in order to obey this world leader.
Then there's all the judgments of God that will come. The building of the Third Temple is only a part of the things that are coming. Various judgments of God will still kill billions of people.
Oh you think this is nothing but fairy tales? Consider that dozens of Biblical prophecies have been fulfilled in the last 100 years. It was extremely significant when the world was made to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. To see the hand of God in Israel's battles is a sight to behold. None of those were coincidences, they certainly were Godinstances.
For all of you...again...be sure of your salvation in Christ Jesus. What you own, owe, have or hope to have doesn't matter.
Who you know, have met or hope to meet or see doesn't matter.
Knowing that you are ready to meet the King of Kings and Lord of Lords when He returns is all that should matter.
Jesus is coming soon. My Savior in whom my hope lies, is coming soon. I've seen His hands in my life and I have to ask that only pertinent question: Do you know Him?
Jesus came to this world to seek and save the lost. He wasn't lost, we were. He searched until He found me decades ago. My Dear Reader settle that question right now. You may not get a today to finish thinking about it.
The Church of Jesus Christ is not under condemnation but has passed from death into life. God's word says that there is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. We do not stand with the world in being condemned to experience the wrath of God that is to come. The Church will see from the side of Heaven the fulfillment of the Word of God. The Church will see those martyrs under the Throne of Jesus awaiting their own justice from Jesus for them.
The King is coming...do you know Him as Savior and Lord? Is He the forgiver of your sins and the leader of your life?
This blog is God’s doing in my life every single day for many years now. I write and He handles global distribution. He draws people to find it and to read it. If you are reading it then He's found you too.
As my Spiritual Dad says at the end of his Biblical Prophecy newsletters: Get ready for the shout that will call us out!
