Got a father around to love?

In this fatherless world where many sons and daughters have grown into adults and ditched their fathers, and many fathers have not or half grown up, but have quickly ditched their kids, their wives, all their relatives and even most of their friends.. what’s really so in this regard, and excellent to hear? 

Perhaps your dad deserved to be ditched cuz he's a perv who abused you? God has never been like that -- He will never be like that. 

Choose not ever to become like that. Be holy as your heavenly father is Holy. Be whole!   

“The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him.”  Psalms 103:13

What does it mean that God is father to the fatherless?

What does it mean to be a godly father?

What is the meaning of “Everlasting Father” in Isaiah 9:6?

Do Muslims call Allah “Father”? How can we come to God as Father?

What does it mean that God is our Abba Father?

If Jesus was God, why did He say, “The Father is greater than I” in John 14:28?

Why did Jesus say “Father, forgive them” on the cross?

Who was Moses’ father?

What did Jesus mean when He instructed us to hate our father and mother (Luke 14:26)? Our love for God the Father should be so great that our love for mom and dad should be like hate in comparison. 

Why should our prayers be addressed to “our Father which art in heaven” (Matthew 6:9)?

What is the meaning of the Parable of the Prodigal Son?

What does it mean that Satan is the father of lies (John 8:44)?

What did Jesus mean when He said, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30)?

To whom are we to pray to, the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit?

Your Father is there for you and He deeply loves you! Won't ditch!

Ephesians 6:4: "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord."

Proverbs 1:8: "Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching."

2 Corinthians 6:18: "And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty."

Psalm 103:13: "As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him."

Proverbs 22:6: "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it."

2 Samuel 7:14-15: "I will be a father to him, and he'll be a son to me. When he does wrong, I'll discipline him in the usual ways, the pitfalls and obstacles of this mortal life. But I'll never remove my gracious love from him."

Proverbs 23:22: "Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old."

Proverbs 23:24: "The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him."

Psalm 32:7-8: "You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance."

Proverbs 4:11-12: "I will guide you in the way of wisdom and I will lead you in upright paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, and when you run, you will not stumble."

Luke 15:20: "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him."

Deuteronomy 1:31: "There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place."

Malachi 4:6: "He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers."

Hebrews 12:7: "Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?"

Your heavenly Father and His Son Jesus have known you and I from the get go.  And God knows the very worst to what we are actually capable of -- our potential.  Sure and that won't be reached outside of an intimate relationship with Him -- simple as that.  He knows what we were, where we're from, what we currently are, where we're headed, and what we will be cuz he lives in the now and in the future.. outside of time.  He knows all your gifts, motives, longings and abilities. He did not love us because we are so loveable, but because He is Love.  Yep, God is and always has been Love -- He's the most unselfish, kind and loving person that has ever lived. He loves you and will forgive all of your sins -- He'll even forget your wrong-doin's.  Did that for me. Dare ya if I may -- turn, trust, chat with, invite in. I love Him because He first loved me. He is the initiator of love, and you and me what are we?  We're the responders, so respond Buckeroo. Here and now is good.

"For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God."  Hebrews 13:14-16

Forgive your earthly father (that doesn't say he was right or release him from the consequences especially if he harmed people or committed crimes) and then worship your heavenly Father who has never done you wrong. 

Your first priority ministry and mine? Biblical wholehearted worship of the Father through the Son Jesus.. including prayer and praise to your God. It is so important. None (no ministry at any time) zero, null.. are or were or will be more important among those you like to or dislike to do.

What's to cancel? This -- the Cancel Culture.

Many people feel so alone and isolated today. I hate that. Wanna live to change this. 

Q: So, how do you feel about the Cancel Culture? 

Does it seem as though hatred and division abound these days? Does it seem like every news story we see is more distressing than the one before? The natural question to ask is, Sup with all that? What is going on and where do we go from here? 

To live in our day: 

1.) It takes wisdom (that's about doing the right thing without any president in this era that’s without any president). 

2.) It takes supernatural courage.. yeah, takes boldness.   

3.) It takes God’s power, anointing and love working through us to get the truth out. 

Jeremiah experienced an early cancel culture first hand, up close and personal.

"Then they said, 'Come and let us devise plans against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come and let us attack him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.” Jeremiah 18:18 

Remember when Jesus canceled that woman who was caught in act of adultery? Neither do I because it never happened. Come to Him as you are. 

“..the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd. ‘Teacher,’ they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” 

Remember Jesus meeting that woman at the well that he cold shouldered and canceled (that also never happened). Her own people had canceled her through, but Jesus quickly accepted her cuz of 100% pure love for her. 

Here’s a good idea. Let's cancel.. the smug, know-it-all, accusatory, arrogant Liberal, cold-blooded judgmental, cancel culture in our society. Don’t you feel sick of the Liberals...

• Socialism
• The Huge Push Towards Globalism, Open borders and a cashless society
• Pandemic and how it’s been politically weaponized
• Economic Chaos
• Apostacy -- the Falling Away. “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold." Matthew 24:12
• The Violence and Blindness Regarding These End Times
• The Cancel Culture
• Spiritual Famine - People are Not Satisfied and Hungrier today than Ever Before and yet the Word of God is more Available than Ever Before
• The Hatred of Jerusalem and of the Jews
• Ignorance of Christ’s Triumph on the Cross and of His Gospel

Look at the ministry of Jesus -- He really loved people from every background and culture. Never canceled them out. When the world put them out, He took them in. He still delights to forgive and love people now. Remember how He was reaching people in a variety of ways.

• He preached on hillsides and in marketplaces.
• He stood on a boat and spoke to people on the shoreline.
• He sat and talked with children.
• He personally trained twelve men.
• He spoke to a woman at a well.

And while the methods of communication have changed these days a bit since then, His Gospel message is still reaching people today in countless ways, on numerous platforms through believers around the globe. 

It's no time now for us to become like those the Liberals and their cancel culture. It’s no time to become bitter, gripey, finger-pointing, grumpy, or hateful of people and syndical.. cuz our own sins were canceled out. The Bible says... 

"When you were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our trespasses, having canceled the debt ascribed to us in the decrees that stood against us. He took it away, nailing it to the cross! And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross." Colossians 2:13-15  

“..by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace.”  Ephesians 2:15

“He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. ‘By His stripes you are healed.’" 1 Peter 2:24

Gradually, then suddenly out of a relationship regarding the most important relationship one can have. It'll sadly happen here.

“How did you go bankrupt? Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.” ― Ernest Hemingway

It's the same two ways that people go spiritually bankrupt in our day. Gradually with li'l spiritual compromises here and there, and then suddenly.

We each need to keep our guard up. Spiritual bankruptcy is the worst sort of bankruptcy, the worst sort of horrible and yet with many so called believers, this will happen pre-snatching away.

It's true. Let it not happen with you -- it's not allowed. Please. There'll be a great defection away Christ before the Rapture happens (a great apostasy), but God never said in the Bible that there'll be a great revival on earth first.. though we all hope that will happen. Will there will be a Spiritual Awakening during the seven years of tribulation even though the church will be out of here? Yep, when 144,000 on fire Jewish evangelists witness, sow seeds of faith and reap -- when they go to winning people to Jesus here.

It's fascinating to hear about. They lose their lives because of their bold faith, but God keeps them all. Doesn't lose even one of them. See the end of the story in the Revelation.

Did you know that, "66% of Americans believe that there will be a real second coming of Christ in the future."~ Greg Laurie

This is pretty visceral stuff isn't it? Could this going away from the faith and from Jesus already have started? It looks like it has. 

When Gallup Management consulting company started measuring local church membership among American adults back in 1937, church membership in this nation was at 73%.

In the early 1980s it was at more than 70% of American adults who said they belonged to a local Christian church. Then by the early 2000s it was at 65% of American adults, and by the year 2010 it was at 59%. And now in 2021 it’s less than half the nation's population -- it’s currently at 47% who say they are part of a local church. What's up with this decline, this going away from the faith? That's not a good trend at all. 

The Bible talks about a great falling away from the faith before the Rapture (The catching away of born again Christians) happens here.

 

How do I describe this? Is this a trampled of the Son of God under foot, a treating what's holy as an unholy thing this blood of the covenant, is this an incredibly rude insulting of the Spirit of grace? Yes. 

Judas also did that. Let's never! 

 

“How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, 'The Lord will judge His people.' It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.." Hebrews 10:29-31a

As those of this world system continue on toward globalism.. setting the stage for the Antichrist to come on the scene right before the rapture.. lawlessness and hate crimes seem to keep escalating. 

As the worldly including our corrupt political leaders (on both sides of the aisle) keep pushing for open borders and Socialism without any accountability included, it seems like people for the most part have become increasingly depraved in these last days. How can Christians and others flourish in this kind of dangerous environment of cancel culture, lying news media, BLM, Antifa? 

Socialism wants us all to forget our history and forget learning from it, but God wants us to remember. Over and over again in the Bible we see that word -- remember. 

They want to cancel our police departments and have already reduced their budgets radically.. only to discover that there's been a big uptick in violent crimes. Duh!  

Socialism, Marxism, Communism -- it's always been like that seeking to bring about their so called utopia via chaos and violence, but it fails every time it's tried. 

They've always been about the redistribution of people's possessions and wealth, giving it away to the poor "to be fair" (many of whom refuse to work), and everyone get's poorer. It's never ever worked, just failed over and over again.  

You know how expressing politically incorrect ideas can get people fired or start a fight these days. You know how disagreeing with popular opinions used to be seen in public leading to a healthy debate, well now it results in job-losses, harassment, doxing, humiliation and the total removal from public life. Yep, that's all part of the danger with this cancel culture movement. Is this just a temporary trend or a signal of the end times?

As those of this world struggle just to recover from the plague Covid-19 with its different variants, it seems like people are spiritually hungrier now than ever before... and yet and they're not turning to the word of God to satisfy their craving and desperation. And think about it.. the Word of God is more available around the globe than at any time in previous history. 

As those of this world system keep pushing to chip people as they are already doing in some nations, as they keep pushing for a cashless society everywhere, what should Christians be praying, thinking and doing? 

Electric transactions and cryptocurrencies may be popular, we should Christians participate in the digital economy?

What does all this mean for the Church regarding the urgency of our mission in these final hours?

I want to stay focused on Jesus and spreading his good news. I'm looking for Jesus Christ, not the Antichrist though the stage is getting set for him.

Living as a Christian in a fallen world has never been easy for any believer, and now so many alleged Christian leaders and people have been falling away from Christ and from his church. 

Broken homes, broken dreams and broken people have become the norm in our day. The Bible says in these last days of selfish people damaging families prior to the years of tribulation that people will be disobedient to parents,  unthankful, unholy, I'm loving and unforgiving.

Something is changing -- the bad is getting worse in our society. 

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!.. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned.." 2 Timothy 3:1-5 & 13-14

Almost forth of the USA, yes our nation's population are millennials. There are more than 72 million millennials in the USA and increasingly they have walked away from of any kind faith, choosing to identify themselves as religious-nones. They check none of the above.

Every apostate person is an unbeliever, but not every unbeliever is an apostate. An Apostate person who once claimed to be a Christian believer was never really saved in the first place. 

The Greek word for this term "Apostate" is found only twice in the Bible in Acts 21:21, 2 Thessalonians 2:3.

There will be a great defection from the Christian faith and from Jesus before the rapture, a great apostasy but God doesn't say in the Bible that there will be a great revival first.. though we all hope that will happen. 

There will be an Awakening during the seven years of tribulation when 144,000 on fire Jewish witnesses, effective evangelists that will win people to Christ. Thousands will come to Christ. 

in Christ all of it discourse he warned that because of lawlessness the love of many will grow cold.

Demas was apostate because he loved this present world. 

Why they leave the church and Christ..

1. they are deceived spiritually by false teachers with religious sounding lies and no conscience. Lots of scams. See 1 Tim 4:1-2.

So called believers are falling away because they are deceived, disillusioned, disenchanted, disappointed, and gotten distracted. It so easy in our fast paced world to get discouraged -- let's stay focused.

What are some practical things that we can do to keep ourselves in the will of God?

I say examine yourself because the Bible says to do that. The apostle Paul challenges each of us to, "Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Can’t you see for yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you— unless you actually fail the test? And I hope you will realize that we have not failed the test." 2 Corinthians 13:5-6

And test yourself, am I really spiritually born again in Christ? See John 3:3

I say encourage yourselves in the Lord.  King David did that when his men turned on him and he got feelin' really down. David strengthened himself in his faith.

I say exercise yourself toward godliness. Keep growing, why be a sitting target. At least be a moving target. 

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day when I judge them, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and driven out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them publicly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me you are banished from My presence, you who act wickedly disregarding My commands.’" Matthew 7:21-23 amp

"Let us press on to perfection. For as touching those who were once enlightened, and fall away, it is impossible to renew them again. The argument is one of unspeakable solemnity. It is in the Christian life as with all progress amid difficulties. In commerce, in study, in war, it is so often said: there is no safety but in advance. To stand still is to go back. To cease effort is to lose ground. To slacken the pace, before the goal is reached, is to lose the race. The only sure mark of our being true Christians, of our really loving Christ, is the deep longing and the steady effort to know more of Him. Tens of thousands have proved that to be content with beginning well is but the first step on a backward course, that ends in losing all. The whole point of the argument from the case of those who fall away is—Let us press on to perfection." ~ Andrew Murray

Press on, believer. Keep on building yourself up in your most holy faith. Keep following the Word. Keep walking close relationship with Jesus all red hot spiritually. Prayerfully set new goals and follow Jesus with that foot work. 

Falling away for us believers, is not allowed! Stop it, let's not do that, it's not allowed. It's not at all permitted! Growing spiritually is allowed. 

"And now to him who can keep you on your feet, standing tall in his bright presence, fresh and celebrating—to our one God, our only Savior, through Jesus Christ, our Master, be glory, majesty, strength, and rule before all time, and now, and to the end of all time. Yes." Jude 1:24-25 msg

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,”

jude 124

Live Not By Lies. ~ Alexander Solzhenitsyn

The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy. Proverbs 12:22

Hate isn't always bad, but it's always wrong to hate people or God. Duh!

     We've never lived in a world that's more anti-family and anti-church than it is right now. The prince of the power of the air ..Mr. Lu-Cifer.. wants to take our marriages, kids and churches down, but we're going to firmly say no you won't. Never before have our children been able to download the quantity of integrating filth from the internet before, and every year it's more that they could possibly go after. Are you listening parents? Have you entered into your child's life or into the sphere of his or her influence? If your child says that his close friends are none of your business, then you make it your business cuz God wants you to make it your business. Combine a meaningful relationship with each child and sound rules. Fathers, don't provoke your children to anger with stupid rules or without your heart and relationship. Do you know what movies your children are watching, what lyrics in music, or what sites they are visiting? It's time to teach our kids to hate evil and to all-out love the Lord and his righteousness. His people too. Rules alone don't have any power to keep them on the right track but only a relationship can. Properly spanking children at the right time is good. Avoid all abuse and anger at them. Do it at right time with care. Balance love and discipline, courtesy and control, parents. We see these shootings in high and other schools and then hear the parents say oh I had no idea what my kids were watching, hearing or reading.

      There are some things to hate. Let's learn to hate sin, troublemaking, rebelling against Direct Authority (God) and delegated authorities.. like God hates these wrong-doin's and bad attitudes. What's important is growing in the Lord while maintaining a right heart, motives, and human spirit inside...as we by the Holy Spirit follow the Word.  We all can learn what God loves (people and righteousness) and hates. 

      So here are six things that God really hates even today. Yeah, that He loathes with a passion:

      Pride, arrogance, lies, murdering of people.. especially of the innocent (like with the unborn and the elderly. He hates murder, which is dif than doing your duty as a soldier in a decent war and you know many wars haven’t been. You and I wish there was never any wars, and one day all of them will end. Read the Revelation in the Bible). 

     The hatching of evil plots, the doing evil and wickedness (though God loves all of us sinners). Lying, being a troublemaker in the family, in a school, in a church. 

      Do you have feet that race down a wicked track, or a mouth that lies.. even under oath? Simple repent and believe in Jesus. God loves the righteous people and the unsaved sinners too--has a plan for each of us. 

     “Some people are just troublemakers. They are always thinking up some crooked plan and telling lies. They use secret signals to cheat people; they wink their eyes, shuffle their feet, and point a finger. They are always planning to do something bad. But they will be punished. Disaster will strike, and they will be destroyed. There will be no one to help them. The LORD hates these seven things: eyes that show pride, tongues that tell lies, hands that kill innocent people, hearts that plan evil things to do, feet that run to do evil, witnesses in court who tell lies, and anyone who causes family members to fight.” Proverbs 6:12-19 erv

     “Swindlers and scoundrels
   talk out of both sides of their mouths.
They wink at each other, they shuffle their feet,
   they cross their fingers behind their backs.
Their perverse minds are always cooking up something nasty,
   always stirring up trouble.
Catastrophe is just around the corner for them,
   a total wreck, their lives ruined beyond repair.” msg

"A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy." Proverbs 6:12-15

It's super lame to sow discord among the brethren, or in a family. See Proverbs 6:14

Why is Christian doctrine so divisive?

Is the Catholic Church a separate religion or a division of Christianity?

What is the cause of church splits? How can healing occur after a church split?

Why do some fellowships split? People were born in sin, therefore we each need to repent and be born again. And then we need to grow as disciples following Jesus and His teachings otherwise believers even can become carnally minded, worldly and selfish. It’s not beyond any of us. We need Jesus to be Lord of our lives all the way through. 

What is sectarianism?

Why was Israel divided into the Southern Kingdom and Northern Kingdom?

     Riots would break out when the Apostle Paul was livin’ it and preachin’ it -- the Gospel for decisions for Christ. He wasn’t a rebel against Authority or divisive or a troublemaker, but troublemakers would get all convicted of their sin, and then cause trouble when Paul showed up. It happened when the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, spoke the truth as well. Jesus a peace maker said he came to bring a sword. So what did Jesus mean by coming to bring a sword in Matthew 10:34-36?

     “Jesus’ sword was never a literal one. In fact, when Peter took up a sword to defend Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus rebuked him and told him to put away his sword, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword” (Matthew 26:52). Why then, did Jesus say, “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” What kind of sword did Jesus come to bring?”

Romans 16:17 - Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Romans 12:18 - If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Proverbs 20:3 - It is an honor for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

Matthew 5:44 - But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Proverbs 24:1-34 - Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.   (Read More...)

Matthew 5:9 - Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Proverbs 16:28-30 - A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.   (Read More...)

1 Peter 2:1-25 - Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,   (Read More...)

Ephesians 6:12 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Grateful. Here, there, You give me everything I need. It sprouts, it grows, it swims, it shines, it flows.

And You... give me You, so kind and true!

"Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books." ~ John Lubbock

Away from the city lights, ever look up into the stars at night? Ever glance for a couple hundred yards through a Caribbean or Mediterranean sea from near the bottom? Ever gazed into an obscure mountain stream, or up into the dark royal blue Rocky Mountain or Sierra Nevada sky? I mean from deep within those meadows and peaks?

Pristine.. so clean and fresh like from the pure melted snow in Spring. Stunningly beautiful, but so is the personality of the Son. Yep, far more!

His free righteousness makes the possibility for real fellowship. You can be new and spotless.

Is there any conclusive proof of God like in nature?

   Got questions about Creation?

   What is human nature?

   What is general revelation and special revelation? 

   What does the Bible say about creation.. 

   verses evolution?

 Is the universe expanding?

 Is God the first cause?

 Why should I care if God exists?

 Is belief in "the Great Architect of the Universe" the same thing as belief in the God of the Bible?

What is the sin nature?

His free forgiveness and grace makes new and spotless -- us people. We all need the Lord.  

Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. John 1:3

But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? 10 In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:7-10

Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it. Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy. Psalm 96:11-12

Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. Genesis 9:1

In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. 5 The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Psalm 95:4-5
Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God’s wonders. Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash? 16 Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge? Job 37:14-16

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. Romans 1:20

How many are your works, LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number— living things both large and small. Psalm 104:24-25

The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. Psalm 33:5

The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen.. Isaiah 43:20

Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. Ezekiel 34:2-3

The earth dries up and withers, the world languishes and withers, the heavens languish with the earth. The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left. Isaiah 24:4-6

The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your people who revere your name, both great and small— and for destroying those who destroy the earth. Revelation 11:18 Fish4souls.org

The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him..

God doesn't mind sharing His secrets with his kids (He's no respecter of persons playing favorites among them), yeah with all his children. Those with ears to hear.

"His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land. The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them." Psalm 25:14 

Does God or the Bible tell us all there is to know. Nope, but He is enough and the Bible tells us all we need to know. 

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." ~ Jesus

"But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe. My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.." John 10:26-28

"And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.." John 10:4,8,16

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live." John 5:25

"The secret of the wise counsel of the LORD is for those who fear Him.." amp.

When the Bible uses the word "mystery or mysteries" it's because God likes to make Mysteries known to his people, not hidden from them as dead religions people like to say. What is the Revelation (the Book)? It's the unveiling. 

 

In a frantic world gone crazy when people are tryin' to heap some more busy onto your uberbusy.. step away. Take a moment and hit the pause button. Check out the last days warning signs and listen up. 

Hermeneutical prophecy law: Future events cast their shadow before them. In other words things that are going to happen cast a shadow backwards towards us so we can be kind of tipped off in advance. 

I love how the Scriptures give us good warnings about what's ahead. 

BTW Bible prophecy has thus far been fulfilled with 100% accuracy and will be regarding the Rapture, the Second Coming, the new heavens and earth as well. Prophecy never ever goes against what the Bible says. The Holy Spirit never does either. If it's new it ain't true, and if it's true it ain't new. We have new illumination of the Scriptures, not new revelation. We already have the Revelation. God's revelation to us is good enough. And I never mind the old revelation.  

We don’t want to set a date, hour, or minute of the eminent rapture of course, but there are some things to notice. We can see the beginning of future reality by the shadow cast for us. (You know how the rapture is a sign-less event.. a thief in the night snatching away, but the second coming is not). 

Pause to consider the stronger than ever before push for open borders and globalism. Consider what our DC Uniparty together keep doing -- ignoring those who vote. Consider this cancel culture chaos and unrest, and how one victim group has been pitted against another group -- I mean the Intersectionality. Consider all the woke folk struggling with preferred personal pronouns and bathroom use ..and the government mandates. Think about the near to arrive cashless society, and the prevalent identification thievery going on. So is Covid 19 and the Delta Variant prelude “signs” aka birth pangs for the Second Coming? I’d say probably are.

Consider a super-sign -- Israel became a nation again back in 1948. 

When ya see signs of Christmas in July or August each year you can know that Thanksgiving is right around the corner.. just a little bit before our Christmas event. When we see signs of the Second Advent Coming, we know the eminent Rapture is just ahead. Wanna live ready and help others be too. 

Choose to live vigilantly. Watch and pray. Do ya kinda need four prods so to speak urging us all not to hit the “snooze” button? They’re in this passage..

"Do this, knowing that this is a critical time. It is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency; for our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed in Christ. The night [this present evil age is almost gone and the day [of Christ’s return] is almost here. So let us fling away the works of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light. Let us conduct ourselves properly and honorably as in the [light of] day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and irresponsibility, not in quarreling and jealousy. But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for nor even think about gratifying] the flesh in regard to its improper desires." Romans 13:11-14 amp

So many are still asleep in the light when they need to shine bright. 

“The devil has chloroformed the atmosphere of this age. We need to take down our “do not disturb” signs, snap out of our stupor, come out of our coma, and awake from our apathy.” ~ Vance Havner

“What is the present condition of the church? The bulk of Christians are asleep. God’s alarm has been going off for years. Are we listening? Let’s wake up- you and me.” ~ A.W. Tozer

Intersectionality? Woke to what? Struggling with preferred pronouns? Government Mandates? What's next?

 

Go into all the world. Travel on purpose.. the highest purpose with His Message. Yeah, we've still got a global mandate to remember while this world is preoccupied with their version of globalism.

The world thinks of globalization in terms of finances, technology, personal gain and in regards to their political stuff as well. 

Sup with their globalism? Sup with our global mandate -- how do we act upon it.  

Jesus said, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Mark 16:15-18 nkjv

How do we act upon it? We pray it, we live it in private and in public, and we go tell it to those who will listen. The Gospel message. 

"The Church when it's faithful always thinks in global terms." ~ Albert Mueller

Let’s embrace out global mission! Let's each opt to shine bright on this globe in these last days, reflecting His light ..so bright and compassionately too. Yep, as those of this corrupt, so called "woke" world system continue on in their mad march towards Globalism I simply challenge you to live spiritually uncompromising lives for the one who created this whole globe.

Sup with the push towards globalism. Seems like the world is talking about Globalism and what’s ahead for us more than I have ever heard before. They have a plan they say is good, and our good God has a better plan for us. We be living in some exciting days.. days of great potential for influencing others towards the ultimate Solution for all mankind. Christ. I’m talking about sinners like me being forgiven and starting an ongoing relationship with the Jesus of the Bible. He has a different and superior globalism planned that is superior and biblcial. 

We've been taught that in the end times there’ll be a one world government, ruled by one man the Anti-C, yes him ruling over this whole world. True.. for a time, but won't last forever. 

You now how more and more of our world’s politicians are globalist today, but God is a nationalist with a global rescue plan. Yes, He created and loves the nations and the people in them. He loves the nations cuz he loves us all! 

So SO much change these days. The world seems to be getting smaller with every passing decade, and its interconnectedness is becoming greater, and its inhabitants are now more vulnerable to a one world government with the changing of world conditions. The unification of all nations sounds good but is it. An international prophecy that should get our attention. Recently trending online, the UN spoke was highlight as secretly working on this project of theirs. Remember doc UN-21-2030 about One Central Bank, a global currency, mandatory vaccines, the end of national sovereignty, the micro-chipping of citizens, and the end of fossil fuels. When the UN was confronted, they quickly disavowed this and the media jumped in to back up their latest spin. The Covid-pandemic have only accelerated things in this respect. 

See Genesis 11. The father of all dictators after him is seen. It was Nimrod (who was called a mighty hunter. Hunting what? He was after power and people as the first  global tyrant. It says he was “the first on earth to become a mighty man”) and he build the tower of Babel, but God, 

Then when the southern kingdom of Judah was invaded in 605 a teenager was taken to the palace of Nebuchadnezzar (he ruled from 605 BC until his own death in 562 BC as the most powerful despot of his era). He built a massive empire and the beautiful capital city Babylon with a wall around it (wall 56 miles in length, 320 feet tall and broad enough on top for four horse chariots to ridge on).

Remember when Nebuchadnezzar had a bad dream of a massive statue with a head of gold (it represented Babylon) that got broken up by a rock that hit it. Daniel nailed it. He both revealed his dream and then interpreted it to him and gave the glory to the Lord.

See again in the Bible what each part of the statue represented in world history. The rock will demolish the statue (the eras of empires in history) and establish a Global Kingdom marked by righteousness and peace that will last forever.

Remember the feet and toes on the statue that’s the part that was not fulfilled in history. According to Daniel, there will be another attempt at a one world government in the future, but God will bring it to an end. It’ll be a somewhat of a revived Roman empire with a Nimrod type of dictator (aka the antichrist), a confederation of ten kings (it doesn’t say ten nations in the Bible. The European coalition of nations is the beginning of this). It won’t last long because God will end it with the coming of Jesus Christ. There is a predetermined outcome with world history. See Daniel 2, this is Bible prophecy here dealing with the near future.

Daniel specifically names the succession of earthly kingdoms and then after a long interval there will be a resumed Roman empire (revisited. I personally believe we are in the early stages of that right now). And then come seven years of Great Tribulation, God’s wrath poured out cuz of the wickedness of people. But you were no appoint unto wrath, believer. In this world now Christians do endure some tribulation and hardships, but not like it will be during those final 7 years. I believe we believers will be caught away before the wrath is poured out—I firmly believe in a pre-trib rapture. Check it out in history when God’s judgement came, the righteous (Noah, Lot, etc) were first taken out of harm’s way.  

The Bible teaches that when this revived Roman empire happens we are at the very end of the age before Christ comes to set up his millennial Kingdom on earth. This is not just random what’s been happening here. The Revelation completes the story that was started by Daniel, these two Bible books are basically twins.

The Anti-Christ with Lucifer will also have some help from the False Prophet (the unholy trinity), and people won’t be able to buy groceries etc without the antichirst’s mark.

Don’t be like these Dweebs going up against Israel, why get totally smoked? They will attack Israel and then turn their attention away to fight the Lord and then they are done. With the breath of Christ’s mouth..the war is over!  

“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months.

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

If any man have an ear, let him hear.

He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Revelation 13

The Apostle Paul in the Bible says, “And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival.." 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8

You know the lawless one is the antichrist. We are seeing lawlessness more and more these days—it’s been breaking out now and will more during the Great Tribulation. Take a stand for the truth, believers. Stand in the way of total chaos and destruction while you can. Share the Gospel while you can.

We believers will come back with the Lord dressed in white and (man who goes to war in white? It’ll be a short war really..) Jesus will ultimately consume the lawless one with the breath of his mouth and brightness of his appearing.

“And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” 2 Thessalonians 2:8 nkjv

The Holy Spirit in the Church (inside believers) is the Restrainer here on earth, and when the Rapture happens it all goes to pot (corruption mush faster) so to speak. The Holy Spirit will still work on earth in the final 7 years like He did in Old Testament sort of way and people will get saved then too. 

Listen, you know how the Thanksgiving holiday is sign-less happening, but Christmas is not. Well the Rapture of the Church is a sign-less event too, but the second coming of Christ is not (this event will end the rule of the Antichrist on earth, and end the Battle of Armageddon. Christ will end it). So just like when we see all the signs of Christmas in our time start showing up in August, we know that Thanksgiving is near. It’s sort of the same. When we see the signs of the Second Coming showing up as they have already started to in our day, we know that the Rapture (which is will happen seven years prior) will happen soon. Let’s turn, trust and all live rapture ready.. in Christ.  

"For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.." 1 Thessalonians 5:9

Turn, trust, yes all out believe in Jesus, and live rapture-ready today cuz we want you long term in the best option and with us. 

Not that far off really. One day when the King of all earthly kings is ruling from the capital city of the entire globe, Jerusalem, then you and I will finally see a totally perfected globalism that'll be so winsome. 

Yep, the whole earth shall be filled with people under a perfect leader that know and glorify Him, instead of being filled up with people who do not know Him in a personal sorta way.. or want to know Him. 

"But the time is coming when the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." Habakkuk 2:14 amp

Then after the Millennium on earth happens, this earth's history will be over. Done, and the old universe will melt away and all of God's beloved children will be ushered into a brand spankin' new earth.

Will we have access to travel in the new heaven too? Not sure yet, but I think so because we get to travel around the first, second heaven now (blue sky and space) and it'll be far better then.

Hermeneutical prophecy law: Future events cast their shadow before them. In other words things that are going to happen cast a shadow backwards towards us so we can be kind of tipped off in advance. We stay silent where the Bible is silent, not getting firm, opinionated or dogmatic in doctrine where it isn't. Prophecies never ever goes against what the Bible says and the Holy Spirit never does either. 

What are our three responsibilities to immigrants?.. who are in the OT called immigrants (both legal and illegal). We believers are to wisely serve people.. and boldly, clearly tactfully share the true gospel of grace with gentleness and respect.

1). You are to practically, spiritually assist them.

2). You are to accept them, (legally. Of course our government is responsible to vet all, and to protect innocent citizens from criminal strangers. What does God say? "Love ..always protects" See 1 Cor. 13 and the context.

3). You properly assimilate them in legally. This is where our government leaders on both sides (the extremely corrupt DC Uniparty) for money etc keep failing us all.
