It didn't hit me till early yesterday. It was around 11 am and suddenly my thought process went into high gear! "What if the Brits leave the EU?" Hmmm. I Immediately knew they would vote to leave the European Union, and that's exactly what they did! Thing is? Britain has to be isolationist in order to fulfill bible prophecy of the "end times!" It was a very tight vote! Only a four point difference! But they voted to "exit." "Sheba, Dedan, the Merchant's of Tarshish (Britain) and the young lions (or "villages" which is the United States), will say, "Are you coming to capture spoil?" (Ezekiel 38:13). It will be the dumbest question ever asked in the history of mankind. Why do I believe it's the United States? Some translations of the bible are very different from the King James version. For instance, the King James version says "young lions." In other translations, it's "villages" with a super script "a" which verse by verse, gives an explanation of the super script (a). Under the "a" in my NASB version, it says "or young lions" even though the translation says "villages." America is the youngest country in the entire world. We'll be 240 years old on July 4th. Also, the "lion" is the mascot of Britain & America was born out of Britain. "The Merchants of Tarshish," (Britain), and the "Young Lions," (America), will be too busy trying to pick up the pieces of both of our countries, both of which are in decline. Our military is so terribly depleted, that if Israel gets into a situation? We won't be able to offer them much help. In Ezekiel 38:4, Ezekiel is writing down what God tells him to. He's talking about the "King of the North." When he says "Gog" he's talking about Vladimir Putin, the "King of the North." He's the Prince of "Rosh" or "Russia." (Gog = a man (Putin), Magog = "A kingdom," Russia!), Meshech = Moscow, Rosh = Russia.). Russia will use a path through Syria to get into Israel. In Ezekiel 38:4, it says "I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaw" it says "hooks" plural, meaning there will be two reasons for Russia to want what Israel has. But God, the ever present "eye in the sky" will stop the advancing armies the second just one of their toes steps over the boundary lines that GOD HIMSELF established! Forget "pre 1967 borders" here! A lot of Israel's land was stolen from them and some of that land is in Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, the West Bank and Gaza. God Himself has already "turned him around!" Putin left the Ukraine to the rebels, but I don't know how much support he's giving them, if at all? He was "turned around" from the Ukraine, and went into Syria to bail out Assad. He sent 150,000 troops into Syria and he's now rebuilding Assad's airport and a brand spankin new base for the Russians. At one point last summer, Putin said, "I don't even know why I'm here!' That's because GOD IS IN CONTROL! Scotland and Ireland both voted to remain in the European Union, however, Scotland is going to put separating from the UK to a vote, and then rejoin the EU. Ireland is planning to do the same, however, Brexit has sparked other European countries to leave the EU as well. The movements known as Austria La Vista, Italeave, Czchout, Finish, Departugal, Slovakout, is just a taste of things to come! Other's are with them including the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Hungary and Sweden. Things are happening every day that signal the return of Jesus for His Bride, the Church! So please? I'm begging you? WAKE UP! This generation saw the re-settlement of Israel and that same generation will see the Rapture! Read Revelation 3:15-16. It's the final warning given by Jesus to all of us. He asks us to be hot or cold, but that if we are "lukewarm," (having one foot in sin and the other in the Lord?), that he'll "spit" us out of his mouth! Then, in Revelation 4:1, John is told "with the voice of the trumpet," to "come up hither." It was a foreshadowing of the Rapture! It's so past time to "get right with God," that it's not funny! What happened to John, is going to happen to us, and we're running out of time so "choose you this day who you will serve!" (See Isaiah 24:15). If you don't know Jesus? It's very simple. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever believeth in Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life." It's KISS - "Keep it simple stupid." All one must do is trust the Lord! "He who calls upon the name of Lord shall be saved!" (Romans 10:13). And now to my final point. Whether you like it or not? GOD IS ON THE MOVE and He is in control! And to that, I say, "Hallelujah!"
I just wanted to take a few minutes to wish all the "Dad's" out there a Happy Father's Day!
Now, if you're like me and had no father, or an AWOL father, and you tried really hard to find approval from him but never got it? Your looking to the wrong "Father" for it! The one we should always look to first for approval is God! God is a "Father to the fatherless." (Psalm 68:5a). We get our perceptions about "Dad's" in our little brains as small children. Think about it. We trust them implicitly when we're little. We never worry about them getting us killed when riding around in a car with them, which is the very definition of "child like trust." We need to have that same kind of "child like trust" in God! No matter how good our earthly father's are, they can't fill that void! They'll never be able to because only God can fill the "God shaped hole" in our souls! "You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle. You have recorded each one in Your book." (Psalm 56:8). God has every hair on our heads COUNTED. Imagine that? Every single hair! He knows when just 1 falls out! Now THAT'S the very definition of a "very loving and involved Father" isn't it? (See Luke 12:7). As you celebrate this weekend with your earthly Dad's, don't forget to thank our Heavenly Father for your life, the things you have, your job, and your earthly dad! Just be grateful, that's easy enough, right? God is always with you, and will never "leave you, nor forsake you!" He loves you so much, He gave His only son to DIE on a Roman cross for your sins and mine. (John 3:16). "Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God." (John 1:12). Child? You ARE Loved and God is a Good, Good Father! Happy Father's Day!
There are simply no words that can comfort the parents of Christina Grimmie, who was a star on "The Voice," the 49 killed in the night club & the parents of little Lane Graves, who was pulled from the shore of a lagoon at Disney by an alligator and drowned. There is one thing I will not accept from others. PEOPLE JUDGING ANY OF THEM! I was HORRIFIED when I heard that a "Mommy Blog" out there, judged Mrs. Graves asking, "Where was the mother?" Hey, they were from NEBRASKA! It's a man made lagoon & there were no signs warning of gators feeding close to shore at night! It's God's job to judge the 49 who were killed, and we need to pray for the 53 survivors! This event could lead them out of that lifestyle and right into the arms of Jesus! Of course, I've heard everything from "It's the mother's fault! Where was she?" to "We should be merciful and kill them all!" (Modified stmt by a radical Muslim cleric). This guy thinks it's the "compassionate" thing to do. Kill the gays! I also heard, "Poor Mateen. He was thrown out of the court house and out of the police academy. No wonder he SNAPPED?" Really? He had been planning the attack for a long time according to his current wife! This is something people need to get, especially us Christians, and if we don't, it will lead to WORSE situations all over this country! This transcends politics, religion and parenting folks. All of this is BIBLICAL! Whether you choose to believe it or not, we are in the LAST DAYS OF THE DISPENSATION OF GRACE! JESUS WILL NOT TARRY MUCH LONGER! A generation is a 100 yrs according to the bible. The Balfour Agreement, signed by the British November 2, 1917 and 100 yrs is up next Nov 2! What's the Balfour Agreement? Well, a Jew in Britain, devised some sort of weaponry that could end WWI & the Brits were so grateful they asked him what he wanted, and all he asked was that Israel be allowed back into their true homeland to work the land that God kept fallow until they named themselves a new "nation state" in the Middle East on May 14, 1948. The cool thing is, that we could be raptured on November 3, 2016! That is how close we are to being with Jesus forever! So everyone calm down please? Don't bash that poor mother who just lost her baby boy? Stop judging gay people and start loving everyone instead! The bible says "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." (John 13:35). Don't you think it's about time we started acting like true Christian believers? Judging others accomplishes ZIP, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA! It's the LOVE of Jesus people need to see from us if we are to get anywhere. (Pick up a used copy of "Faith for Earth's Final Hour," by Hal Lindsey and READ IT!).
Always remember, "A gentle answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger." (Proverbs 15:1). Now get out there and TESTIFY about what the Lord has done for YOU! I do it everyday if given the chance! I never hang up a phone before asking the customer service agent if they know Jesus! THE DAYS ARE VERY SHORT!
Maybe we should follow the example of that sweet 22 year old girl, Christina Grimmie. On Easter, she posted a video on YouTube and sat at her keyboard and sang "In Christ Alone." She was a perfect example of a sweet, caring, non judgmental Christian. I didn't know who she was because I don't watch that show, but I sure have heard a lot about her. She had her arms open, ready to give the guy a hug when he SHOT AND MURDERED HER in front of her other fans! She's in heaven with Jesus now. She was just too beautiful for this earth and the shooter? He killed himself after he killed her, so they may have differing destinations! At this point? It's about getting people into the Kingdom! The days truly are short! All of the prophecies of the bible are standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU if you'll just look up from whatever it is you shouldn't be doing long enough for him to CONVICT you in your own hearts! He does that to me EVERY DAY and I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR IT! Jesus is the only answer folks! So pray up, look up cuz we're GOIN UP very soon! God Bless you all in your walk with Jesus!
