1 Thessalonians 1:10 – Saved From The Wrath To Come- Pre Trib – Rapture – Part 2

06 Jul

1 Thessalonians 1:10 – 10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.

If you haven’t read last week’s post yet, I invite you to do so now.  It’s probably about the 7th post down if your reading it on the main page.  If you used the search engine and found this it’s probably the next one down.

We’re talking about how God takes out the righteous before pouring out His wrath.  The last post we saw this in the case of Noah.  This week we will concentrate on another case where this happens.

Genesis 18:20 –  20 Then the LORD said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous 21 that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me.  If not, I will know.”

The Lord is speaking to Abraham.  Two of the angels that were accompanying Him took off for Sodom and Gomorrah.  Abraham then began to ask the Lord in a long exchange of conversation found in Genesis 18:22-33.  To read this click on that scripture that is off colored and x out of it to come back to this screen.

Abraham asks the question in Genesis 18:23-25 – 23 Then Abraham approached him and said: “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24 What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

How does the Lord answer?

Genesis 18: 26 – 26 The LORD said, “If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”

Once again the Lord will not sweep away the righteous with the wicked.  This conversation goes on and on until we get to only if ten are righteous will you destroy it?  God says even if there are ten, I will not destroy it.

As the story goes there was only one righteous in Lot and his family was to get out.  Lot pleaded with the angels to allow him and his family to make it to the next town instead of the mountains.  What did the angels say to Lot at this time?

Genesis 19:22 –22 But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” That is why the town was called Zoar.

The angels told Lot that they couldn’t destroy it until they were out of there.

Another case where God’s wrath is involved the righteous are saved out of it.  I won’t go into detail but the Egyptians suffered the 10 plagues and the Jews were spared from God’s wrath.  Later on when they chose not to trust God, that generation themselves suffered under God’s anger until they all died off besides Joshua and Caleb.

What makes anyone righteous today?

The Blood of Jesus Christ washing away our sins is what makes us righteous and whole again.                    

Next week we’ll stick with the being spared from the Lord’s wrath, while looking at a new scripture.

If you don’t want to suffer the Wrath of God and would rather have Him as your Father and Jesus as your King, please go over to the right column and click on “How To Accept Jesus As Savior” page.

Revelation Chapter 13 – One World Government Coming- End Time Prophecy

02 Jul

Chapter 13 in Revelation is talking about the Antichrist and the False Prophet.  The Antichrist is the Beast out of the Sea and the False Prophet is the Beast out of the Earth.  Who are both of these characters?  That’s a study in itself, but the Antichrist is the false messiah and world leader which the world and Jews accept instead of Jesus.  The False Prophet is the spiritual leader which will demand the others worship the Antichrist, which is now Satan at this time.  Once the Antichrist is killed it is Satan that enters in and becomes the world leader.

Okay, back to the world government portion, now that we laid out that groundwork.

Revelation 13:7 – 7He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.

Questions do arise on just what constitutes a world government.  Well in Revelation 13:7 it says the Beast of the Sea, or Antichrist, is given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.  That pretty much indicates it’s global.

Revelation 13:8 – 8All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.

So all those left on earth which have not accepted Jesus will take the mark of the beast.  If you take the mark, according to God you’re worshipping the beast.  There will be no, um…not really, I just wanted to eat and protect my family excuses.  You accept the mark and you have chosen the lake of fire. 

They I go again.  This is supposed to be on the one world government and I’m talking about the mark of the beast.  As I said, many end time prophecies that are forming before our eyes will be simultaneously happening.

In Revelation 13:12 we are now reading about the false prophet.

Revelation 13:12 – 12He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.

Once again it is mentioning that he is making all the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast.

Revelation 13:16 – 16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead,

More on the mark of the beast, but we’re concentrating on the whole world which has become one.  He forces everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to accept his mark.

So Revelation 13 makes a point that the world is tied together. 

Everything around us is pointing to a world government coming to an earth near you soon.  Does it appear that it is going to be the safe love fest that is trying to be accomplished by those pushing for it right now?  Doesn’t read like it, does it?  Next week onto Daniel.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 – Saved From The Wrath To Come- Pre Trib – Rapture – Part 1

28 Jun

We have been looking at the support scriptures for the pre-trib rapture scenario in the last few weeks.

To see the past posts concerning the rapture, just go over to the Categories section off to the right of the blog and click on the Rapture category.  It will start with the most recent and work its way down.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 – 10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.

I think it’s important to recognize the difference between persecution and God’s wrath.

We are told that we can expect persecution.  Jesus lets us know this.

John 15:20 – 20Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.  If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.

What is difference between persecution and God’s wrath?  The world and those listening to the evil one are persecuting God’s chosen people (Jews) and His Church (Christians).  God’s wrath comes from His anger against mankind when He gets fed up with the evil.

When has God shown His Wrath?       

The First full blown case came at the flood.

Genesis 6:11-13 – 11 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. 12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. 13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.

God’s Wrath was to wipeout mankind it had become so corrupt; however, there was one who was found righteous.

Genesis 6:9 – 9 This is the account of Noah.  Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God.

What did he do with Noah and his family?  He spared them from His wrath.

Genesis 7:1 – 1 The LORD then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.

The righteous were spared and the evil perished under God’s wrath.

There is another case of where this happened and we will go over it next Monday or Tuesday.

Coming One World Government – End Time Prophecy

25 Jun

I will spend the next few Fridays on the End Time Prophecy series dedicated to the One World Government or New World Order.

Like Israel becoming a nation this is one of the most important end time prophecies.  A one world government is the only way a one world currency and one world banking system come together.  Should I have written on the one world government before the other two?  Sure I should have.

Whoops.

Many of the other end time prophecies that are coming together are linked to the one world government just as the one world banking system and one world currency.  Since I haven’t spoken on those yet, I will hold back until I post on them.

The two books that really address the one world government are Daniel and Revelation.

I will do one post next week on Revelation 13.  It will take a few posts to cover the world kingdoms spoken of in Daniel.  I will also point out some comparisons between Daniel in his visions and John with his concerning the world coming together.

Why is the world coming together and forming a one world government?  By chance?  Never!

It has taken 90 years for it to come together.  The people that felt we were going to destroy ourselves after World War I, got the ball rolling.  World War II comes along and you add atomic weaponry into the mix.  A new class of recruits started joining these elite groups of rich men and people who were linked to powerful influences.

Nuclear, chemical, and biological, weapons make their way onto the scenes and the reality is that someone is going to use them someday.  So there is the human motivation to push the movement.  Now with economic turmoil, extinction of certain species, global warning, rain forests disappearing, pollution, etc, they have other causes as well.  I suppose we could add major waterways being filled with oil now also.

It’s not hard to see why man is pushing itself towards a world government, but is God up for a one world government where he isn’t the focus?

Next week I have a three part post addressing that very thing.

Prayer Kicked Out Of School In America – June 25, 1962 – Part 2

24 Jun

Today I will finish up the post I started yesterday.  Mainly because I had an idea where I was going with it when it started and by the time I was done, God wanted me to remind everyone that Heaven wasn’t a democracy.

Man just has a spirit that he won’t be told what to do.  It’s a rebellious spirit and came at the time of the fall.  Armies that are full of men that won’t be told what to do, become defeated quickly.  Nations that don’t believe in authority fall to anarchy and soon the strong will dictate it with a brutal dictatorship.

Why has America thrived in the past?  Why did England thrive in the past?

In both cases it appears that when the recognized God and Jesus as the head authority, they prospered.  When England began to lose this and turned its back on the Jews it was reduced to what it is today.  America is in the same boat.  When God was at the head it was thriving.  Now that it has kicked God to the side, it has become a proud, broke, debtor nation.  Now turning its back on Israel, it will be brought to its knees.

The problem is that crime has gone up, violence has gone up, trust has gone down, morality has gone down. 

God was taken out of public school starting 48 years ago.  You can add another 5 years for those who were too young to be in school and you’re up to everyone 53 years and younger has never been subject to God unless they got it from home.

You can probably add another 5 years, as those first years of development are important, but the learning really starts later.  So about 58 years and older really didn’t get a dose of God unless it was from home.

Doesn’t this age group on down pretty much run almost everything right now?

Sadly enough it’s not going to stop where it’s at.  Without God’s blessing this country will continue to fall further into chaos, more debt, and while it’s busy trying to fight Christianity, another influence will come in and devour it.

So what’s the good news?  The Good News is Jesus Christ!

Acts 5:42 – 42Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.

Heaven is not a democracy.  Heaven is a Theocracy.  It is run by a loving God of absolutes.  Everyone is invited to enter, as long as you acknowledge the pardon granted by the King and serve Him.

The proud, the stubborn, the selfish, the evil, will not be part of that Kingdom.

Choose the King.  He made you.  He loves you.  He has forgiven you.  There is just one more step to starting your journey back to the Kingdom.  If you haven’t accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I invite you to do so now.  I have put a page on the upper right hand side of the column that will walk you through.

Prayer Kicked Out Of School In America – June 25, 1962 – Part 1

23 Jun

The ruling was that a 22 word prayer in New York public schools was unconstitutional.

“Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our country.”

This was the start of war on God in the public school system in America.

Since this time the rulings have continued to erode away anything to do with God at school.

I was researching this topic and have spent over an hour looking at comments for and against having prayer in public schools.

Naturally the point being made by those who are against it is that one you would have to open it up to everyone.  Second you would be forcing a free society to accept something they don’t have the choice of making on their own.

That’s when it really hit me.  I already knew this, but it really hit me hard.

Heaven isn’t a democracy….It’s a Theocracy.  God is going to rule and He isn’t going to go to the poll booths to find out what you’re wanting.  Rather you like it or not there is a right and a wrong.  There is a true God.  There is a Heaven and Hell. 

Democracy that allows you freedom to worship God is wonderful.  We have a world that is not allowed to do so and if you read the book of Revelation it’s all heading there soon.

The first half of the tribulation people will be killed because Christianity will be a religion of intolerance.  In the second half if you don’t worship the Antichrist now reincarnated by Satan, and this will include the false church that was persecuting Christianity, you will be killed.

Revelation 13:15 – 15He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.

So if you’re one of those who loves democracy because it allows you to have the freedom of not having to do anything you don’t want to, better enjoy it while you can.  That will be coming to an end.

Tomorrow I will continue on this topic.

Twenty Four Elders With Gold Crowns – Rapture – Pre-Trib

22 Jun

I’m continuing my series for the support of the Pre-Trib rapture scenario.

A quick recap:

 The Church is completely mentioned throughout chapters 1-3 of Revelation and then not again after Revelation 4:1 when the Lord says “Come up here.” 

I also mentioned how the Lampstands, which is said to be the churches, are now lit in Revelelation 4:5.

Today lets look at the group just before the burning lamps in Revelation 4:4.

Revelation 4:4 – 4Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads.

It’s the first mention of the twenty four elders.  They weren’t mentioned in Revelation 1,which is when were introduced to the lampstands.

Who are the elders?  There are educated guesses out there, but we won’t know until we get there.  We do know that they are beings and they wear golden crowns.

If you remember I did a post a month or so ago that spoke of our new body.  At the rapture we receive a new body and I believe that is when we receive our rewards shortly after.  All humans that are saved and are raptured will go through this in the same time period.

So for the elders to have a body that can wear a crown and also have received a crown, tells me that rapture appears to have already happened.

One World Banking System – End Time Prophecy

18 Jun

For the last two weeks we have been talking about the one world currency.  Is that the same as the one world banking system?  They are very closely linked but technically no.

You could have the whole world agreeing to use coconuts only as the currency of the world and still have no banks.  However, going digital on currency allows the banks and the main financial computer systems to be all linked.

Why is this important in light of the last days?  Ah yes, let’s see the scripture that implies it again.

Revelation 13:16-17 –16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Now you got to realize that the book of Revelation is packed full of mind boggling, wowing, kinds of things.  The judgments are huge and devastating.  It says that one guy will be a dictator, and it indicates he will have the power to look over and keep an eye on the world as a whole.  There will be one economic system that everyone will use and accept and if you don’t accept the mark of this ruler, you can’t use the system.  No problem right, you’re a free creature.

Wrong.

You try to buy and sell and you don’t have this mark, he’ll have his followers hunt you down and have you executed.  Why?  Sorry that’s for when we talk about the Antichrist, Satan, and the Mark of the Beast in the weeks to come. 

So the one world banking system will be more than just banking, it will be part of the whole linked financial institution.  Certain countries won’t be allowed to just keep printing money as they please like one we are familiar with today.

Do politicians like this idea?  Oh yeah, very much so.  Your politicians live to create laws and tax.  If all your resources are linked to a visible system and there is no more underground, taxing and controlling will be much easier.  Fraud will be harder to pull off and easier to trace.

So let’s recap just three of the many End Time Prophecies that we have gone over so far.  Israel has to be back in their land.  There is an indication that the generation that sees them get back into their land won’t pass.   There has to be a one world banking system along with a reason of why the nations would want to go to or have to go to a one world currency.  The biggest reason is the ones who have no money at all, technically still have more than those who are in serious debt.

To see all the End Time Prophecies I have written on so far, just go over to the category “End Time Prophecies” and click on it.  It should then start from the most recent and work its way down to the oldest post on the subject.  You can do this with any category as well.

If someone had told you just 20 years ago that it would be possible for what we are seeing today in the financial world they would have laughed at you and said the world will never want it or go for it.  Cash was still king and people liked that they couldn’t be tracked, but we have been conditioned now.

Just three prophecies have been gone over so far and don’t take them lightly.  The Jews have the whole world against them and yet just a tiny nation is a burdensome stone (whoops there’s number four we already touched on) to the rest of the world.  How did they get back there and how are they still there?  God’s promise and covenant with Abraham, that’s how!  The world will come together economically and use the same system to buy and sell.  So four end time prophecies that have either have happened or only make sense that they are going to happen so far.   I will be writing on many more in the weeks to come.  God has given many of them for us to see, just in case we want to ignore a few end time prophecies as pure chance.

Lampstands In Reveleation Chapter 4 – Rapture – Pre-Trib

15 Jun

So far we have talked about the Church being mentioned all through the first three chapters of Revelation.

Then we spoke about Revelation 4:1 when Jesus says, “Come up here” and the word church isn’t used again.

So let’s this week concentrate on those lampstands back in Revelation 1 again.

Revelation 1:20 –  20The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

The seven lampstands are the seven churches.

They are present in Chapter 1 with Jesus amongst them in verse 1:13. 

Revelation 1:13 – 13and among the lampstands was someone “like a son of man,”dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest.

So the fact they are present in chapter 4 doesn’t make a big persuasion that the church is all the sudden present with the Lord in a rapture fashion.  There is something though that has changed.

Revelation 4:5 – 5 And out of the throne proceed lightnings and voices and thunders. And there was seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God;

The lamps are now burning before the throne.  Is this significant?  Before there are lampstands and they are not burning.  The lampstands do signify the church so something has changed. 

Since the church is not mentioned again after 4:1 it makes one look at the scriptures a little closer and I did notice the difference concerning the lamps and lampstands. 

Next week we’ll look at another group in Chapter 4.

Closing In On A One World Currency –End Time Prophecy

11 Jun

We spoke last week that the Bible speaks about a one world currency in Revelation 13:16-17.

Revelation 13:16-17 – 16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

This week I just wanted to give everyone a reminder.  For the last 18 months we have had learned just how tied together the world economic markets are.  When either the US Dollar, Yen, or Euro, starts to reveal weakness, the other markets begin to fall.

The US is willing to admit it is 13 Trillion Dollars debt right now.  We know that it if the government is willing to admit 13 Trillion of debt, then like the Gulf Oil spill information, you know it’s a lot worse than what it is.  We’re throwing just under a trillion at every problem that has come along most recently. 

The Euro has taken a huge hit lately.  They found out that they have to balance out over 25 countries with different economies.  No easy task.

The Yen is making a comeback, but now there is a danger of it becoming too strong, because that affects the exporting business.

The Chinese are already asking for another currency other than the dollar to be used for the oil standard.  Why?  They have tons invested into us and don’t want our economy to fail, but the reality is they know we won’t be able to pull ourselves out of the debt were in.

If the economies of the world aren’t fragile enough already, the only ones that are producing profit are the ones who hate democracy.   The profit is mainly because of oil.

Where are they putting those profits?  Into armaments and bulding their war machine.  That’s a peaceful thought isn’t it?

So how close are we to a one linked currency system?  It could be a necessity within months.  When the nations are unable to stop the bleeding of the collapsing economies it will be one of the only solutions.  A solution that elite groups around the world have been pushing for a long time now.

Why would there be groups who want or care about this?  These groups have been working towards a one world order so we don’t blow each other up, overpopulate, don’t have some living in luxury and others starving to death, etc.

So why is this a bad thing?  Because they are trying to do it without God.  Do we have another story where everybody was trying to come together and build something without God in the Bible?  Yep, the Tower of Babel.

God didn’t like it when man was trying to bring everything together without Him at the Tower of Babel.  When I read Revelation and the Wrath of God in the last days, I don’t think He’s excited about it now either.

I have added a plugin that will send out a reminder to your email when a new post is published.  If you would like to be signed up for that, shoot me a comment saying you would l like to be added.  If you at anytime don’t want to receive these reminders, send me a comment to be excluded from the list.
