The article below by Jack Kelly, does a good job summing up what I have been feeling this Christmas season.  I have felt this season more reflective, and a focus on savoring the small things. 

Trying to focus on generosity instead of all of the stuff that usually surrounds holidays these days.

Kind of a back to the basics sort of approach. 

Even more interesting is what I have not been feeling to the degree I have in years past.  I have not felt anxious, or overwhelmed.  I am saddened by all of the evil that is overwhelming the world but internally, I feel at peace, maybe even a little excited for what we are on the cusp of.  If asked “what” we are on the edge of, I would have to say honestly I don’t know exactly, my blessed hope just like Paul is that Christ’s Return is near, the Rapture, but it could just be another series of sorrows.  But it just feels different. 

I feel an acceleration is coming, it feels like the calm right before the storm, where things are peaceful and then the 100 mph winds hit 2 minutes later.

Maybe it is just the time I took off from posting helped me step back from the barrage of signs and events.  Maybe it is the realization of God’s true distinction of “good” people from saved.  (more on that in a future article)  But I think not, its more than that.  It is a reassuring peace. 

But it really does feel different this Christmas, it defies the “reality” of our world but maybe it is not a “peace” of this world.

God’s christmas gift is where our focus should be…

May God Bless each of you this Christmas season and may you remember what the true meaning is behind it all.

The Last Christmas?

by Jack Kelly 


Whether you’re following commentaries by prophecy scholars on the nearness of the rapture or predictions by financial experts on the nearness of the world’s economic downfall, the message is the same. This could very well be the last time we celebrate Christmas as we’ve come to know it.

And that’s a good thing. Because for most of the world, Christmas has become little more than an annual exercise in spending money we don’t have to buy things they don’t need for the people on our list, some of whom we don’t even like.  Add to that the sad fact that millions of American families are doing this from homes they no longer own, adding to a debt load they can hardly carry now, and you can see the level to which the world has sunk. And the saddest fact of all is they aren’t doing this out of any gratitude for what the Lord has given them.  They’re doing this because for a brief period of time they can pretend everything’s OK.

For believers it should be a different story, although most of us are totally unaware that the greatest event in Church history is looming on our horizon. The coming rapture should be energizing the body of Christ and causing a massive reorientation of our priorities and yet current polls indicate that over 90% of us are still focused on the secular world and the fading illusion of happiness it offers, rather than the incredible promises of the Bible.

I will have to second Grant’s take…I feel we are near indeed. 

The signs are numerous.  Lord come quickly…

I Come Quickly

By Grant Phillips


In the last chapter of the last book of the Bible, Jesus says to the Church three times, “I come quickly”. (Revelation 22:7, 12, 20)

Many years ago, I realized that when a word or phrase was repeated in the Scriptures, it was a way of emphasizing the need of listening intently to that word or phrase, because of the importance of what is about to be said. For example, when Jesus said, “Verily, verily”, as He sometimes did, He was saying, “Listen up. Everyone pay attention. It is very important you hear this.” Today, we would probably underline the word or phrase, or put it in italics, or make it bold, or use an exclamation point, or all of the above.

Following are the actual words from Jesus, in this last chapter of Revelation, v.7 “Behold, I come quickly, v.12-13 And, behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. v.16 I, Jesus, have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. v.20 Surely, I come quickly.

Get this. He said the same thing previously to the Philadelphian church in Revelation 3:11, “Behold, I come quickly …” So this actually makes four times in this one book He made this statement to His Church.

Ronald Reagan: A Time for Choosing

This is an amazing speech that no doubt many of you have watched before. But as a precursor to next year, I thought I would go ahead and post it.

It’s funny, that within the first 5 minutes of this speech, as Reagan characterized what the left was saying in the 60′s, it sounds almost identical to what they are saying now. The left never changes it seems – it’s Socialism or bust.

The speech is 30 minutes long and well worth it. Reagan’s words really do echo into today with a surreal accuracy.

Deception!

It was the single sign that God used to wake me up to Bible prophecy.  I can not describe to you the intense feelings I had surrounding deception.  It was everywhere I looked.  I found myself saying, “I can’t believe it”, a couple hundred times a day when it finally dawned on me that something was not right, this was beyond man.  I started this blog as a way to gather all of the deception that I saw and share it with others.  It was so numerous that I just couldn’t keep up using email and word of mouth.  It truly is everywhere these days and it is getting even stronger and more bold.

Terry does and excellent job laying out how we are being decieved and what Christ said about it, it was his first warning to us, we need to be watchful and on guard.  We are truly surrounded…

Invasion of the Mind Snatchers

A science fiction film of 1956 called Invasion of the Body Snatchers riveted me as a kid of fourteen or so. Sinister, unseen—even unknowable—diabolical entities were taking over the personhood, bodies and all, of earthlings. The protagonist, a physician, was frightened and frustrated as to how to deal with the situation, and was unable for most of the movie to convince those around him that something disastrous was being set up to destroy humanity.

Almost the whole town was replaced by the invaders before…well, you will have to see the movie—I don’t want to spoil it for you.

The storyline was a grand scheme of delusion and deception. You wanted to shout at the big screen for the people to recognize what was going on. You are being set up for falling victim to the body snatchers! But, the course of the storyline could not be changed. It was inevitable that the other-worldly beings would soon take over, as they say, lock, stock, and barrel.

This week Terry had a great article in the Nearing Midnight section of RaptureReady.com.

Events are happening so very fast now that it is hard to keep up, let alone keep your head from spinning.  Just as Christ has predicted, end times prophecies are nearing completion at a stunning rate, all the pieces falling together one right after another, and yet the world acts as if nothing out of the normal is happening.  In fact, if you try to bring up the predictions from the Bible, you are mocked.  (Which in and of itself fulfills prophecy – ironically!)

I don’t know about you but I can feel this sense of something imminent.  I can sense that evil is accelerating and enveloping the planet.  People’s sense of right and wrong seem to be reversing themselves as deception rises to unprecedented levels.  The Truth, the Word of God, seems to be getting nudged out.  This world no longer has a need for it.

The hour feels late, but do you sense the world expects anything big will happen?  Or is it a day like any other day?

Matthew 24:36-44

36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

Jude 1:16-19

16 These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage. 17 But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: 18 how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. 19 These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.

Rapture and Sudden Destruction

Every week I find in my email inbox a number of predictions for this or for that concerning Bible prophecy. Many involve the writer’s prediction of the time of the Rapture, based upon a specific formula he or she has figured out, or has adopted from someone else’s thoughts.

Some, such as the particular writer I’m thinking about in writing this commentary, send out each year a dozen or more predictions of the time of the Rapture to various forums, including Todd and me. His predictions usually revolve around traditional Jewish holy days. Although every prediction has thus far failed to come to pass, the writer is persistent, becoming more adamant about the validity of his date-setting with each succeeding “forth telling.”

I must admit that I’ve come to sort of look forward to unwrapping these missives to peek at what we might have, kind of like opening a surprise package. One thing sure…it’s never a disappointing exercise. He always has something new and unusual to spring upon the recipient. If he remains so persistent–based upon the way world events are shaping up–he is bound to be at least nearly right about the timing of the Rapture at some point.

I had heard that alternate title once before long ago, but was reminded of it in Jack Kelly’s article “Wisdom of the Ages”.

The Bible is the most amazing book.  The more you read it, the more Truth and wisdom you can glean.

Satan’s plan over the centuries to move us from knowing our history, to being so focused on the future, is quite cunning.  You hear it said all the time, that everything you need to know about life is in the Bible, well maybe you don’t hear that as much these days but the statement is still as true today as it was when it was written.

Jack does a superb job at laying out how contorted our world view has become.  Not only have we just been taught little by little, that our past (history) is not important, but we have in fact seen much of it re-written.

The one constant in our world has been the Bible, but even that is under attack as new interpretations are developed under the goal of “modernizing” the language so that it can be “better” understood.  That is false!  Spend some time reading the Bible and it will come to life!  To better understand that deception check out my previous post on changes that are being made through translations. (Is your Bible uncorrupted?)

Enjoy the article below, it was a very enlightening and refreshing read!  It will also give you some great tools, straight from scripture, that God wanted us to know and use daily.  It is better than any self-help book currently published.

God Bless!

Wisdom Of The Ages

by Jack Kelly

Recently, I was reminded of a video I had watched some years ago on the life of Abraham. First shown on one of the cable networks, it was surprisingly faithful to the Bible’s account of Abraham’s life.

The late Richard Harris portrayed Abraham as a man of great sensitivity, with a yearning to know God. Eventually he was successful, for the Bible describes him as God’s friend (Isaiah 41:8). It does not tell us why Abraham sought God, or how he even knew there was a God. Although Abraham’s early  ancestors had obviously known of Him, the people of Abraham’s time were not followers of this God. How did Abraham find out about Him?

Creation Chronology

Genesis 5 is a chronology of the first 10 generations of man. It’s given without explanation or embellishment and covers the period from Adam through Noah.  Since the chronology is specific, calculating the life span of each man is simple, as is the total time from Adam’s creation to Noah’s death – 2006 years. Genesis 6 – 9 then shifts gears to describe the Great Flood, which occurred 1656 years after Adam’s creation. Chapter 10 is about the Tower of Babel.

Then in Genesis 11: 9 the chronology abruptly begins again with Noah’s son Shem and continues through Abraham (then called Abram) in Genesis 11:26.  Once again we can calculate both the individual life spans and the total elapsed time of 10 generations. By putting the two lists together you come to the amazing discovery that Noah was still alive when Abram was born and died when Abram was 58.

You can also see that if Adam recounted the story of his origin to his son Seth and his grandson son Enosh, (seems likely, since Adam’s origin was pretty unique) then Enosh could have told Noah.  In fact 8 out of the first 10 family heads were still alive and well during most of Noah’s life. Only Adam and Seth had died. Since they all lived in the same general vicinity, Mesopotamia, it’s likely they all knew Adam’s story and could have passed it along.

Hello Noah? This is Abraham

Only Noah and his three sons survived the flood, but any of them could have talked with Abram. In fact Noah’s son Shem, still around when Abram’s son Isaac was born, actually out lived Abram. (Some say Shem was the one called Melchizedek in Genesis 14:18-20, the King of Salem to whom Abram paid a tithe on the spoil he had taken while rescuing Lot.)

The notion that the Creation story came from fables told by illiterate primitives around campfires at night just isn’t so.  The chain of information from Creation to Abraham needed only 3 links; Adam, Enosh (Adam’s grandson) and Noah. It is no stretch of the imagination to conclude that Abram had heard about the Creator of the Universe through this chain and then sought Him out. You see, in those days there was great interest in the lessons of the past; the wisdom of the ages.

What’s The Point?

Today in almost every field, great emphasis is placed on new thought. Nothing wrong with that per se, but in our quest for the “latest thing” are we losing our grounding in the wisdom of the ages?

Through out history, every society has relied on the wisdom of its elders to instruct the young, guaranteeing that its heritage would remain intact and that simple truths would not be lost. Because for the most part western society no longer venerates its elders and their wisdom, we live in a revisionist world, where even the past is becoming uncertain.  (Was Columbus a good guy or a bad guy? Was the Holocaust real? Who was JFK?)

Many of life’s simple truths are no longer passed along, yet they have always been effective in building successful lives. They were first written down for us in the Bible, confirmed in the biographies of successful people, and documented by society’s observers.  Here’s an example.

This is a tough area and topic to discuss, it is almost as charged as the abortion topic, but I think it is a key sign that we are living in the last days – the Days of Noah.

Did you know that the only other time in history that same-sex marriage was legal was in the days of Noah?  It is true.  Christ warned us to be watchful, and look for it to be like the days of Noah and the days of Lot, then we would know we were in the End Times.

I have always struggled with the fact that everywhere you turn these days you can not escape the media putting the “Alternate Lifestyle” in our face.  It is not that I want it banished to some dark corner but maybe just a little perspective.  If they are truly a minority (an alternate lifestyle), one that needs extra protections evidently, then why is it treated as if it is as common as a successful marriage between a man and a women.  I might argue that if you assessed our society based on our media, you would get the reverse impression, that the healthy marriage was really the minority, but that is another topic.

There is obviously an agenda but that agenda has consequences.  And it is those consequences that are almost always overlooked by our current society and especially the media.  God warned us of all sins, He did that as a loving father.  He does not want to see any of us get hurt and He wants to protect us from this evil world.  Homosexuality is a sin just like all of the others it is listed with in 1 Corinthians.  It is just as destructive as adultery or idolatry or theft.  We all struggle with our own portfolio of sins, being christians of flesh this is our cross to bear until Christ comes back for us.  God gave us the tools to help combat it the best we can, some days successfully, some days not.  But it is through keeping our eyes on Christ that we gain the strength over time to resist more successfully, even thought the sin never truly departs us.  Through faith in Christ, we are of the spirit and not flesh as Paul stated.

Dr David Reagan does a great job laying out the truth, as disturbing and painful as it is.  We can not ignore God’s Word, or pick and choose which parts of His Word we want to believe, we must have faith and trust in Him, modeling ourselves after His Son, Jesus Christ.

God Bless!

Homosexuality as an End Times Sign: Consequences

Dr. David R. Reagan


Let’s consider for a moment the homosexual political agenda. It’s a radical one that most people are not really aware of. If enacted, it would serve to undermine the Biblical concept of the family.

The first goal, of course, is to repeal all state laws against sodomy. Until 1961 every state in the Union had a law against sodomy. Since that time, state after state has repealed its anti-sodomy law due to pressure and threats from homosexual activists and organizations like the ACLU despite the fact that the Supreme Court has consistently upheld the constitutional right of states to pass such laws.

Another goal high on the political agenda is to get special laws enacted that would prohibit any kind of discrimination against homosexuals. The proposed laws are broad in scope. Some would prohibit a person from refusing to rent a room in his home to a homosexual. Others would go so far as to penalize a church for refusing to hire a homosexual, and organizations like the Boy Scouts would be required to recruit homosexual leaders. The most ominous laws are those that would classify verbal attacks on the homosexual lifestyle as “hate crimes.” The latter laws could be applied to media ministers as well as preachers in the pulpit.

This is something that really shocked me.

First off, I believe that the Bible is the Word of God.  It is 100% true and has never been proven wrong.

When I saw this post on Frank DiMora’s site, it peaked my interest but I did not think it would blow me away.  I always knew there were differences in the translations, but I did not realize how insidious the corruption had gotten.

God warned us of the deception during these last days (the days since Israel became a nation).  Jesus warned us in Revelation:

Revelation 22:16-19 (KJV)

 16I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

 17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

 18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

 19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Very interesting and thought-provoking discussion of what we are seeing in the headlines.  The prophetic signs are so numerous and coming so quickly it can be overwhelming.  We are certainly living in the last days Jesus spoke of…

Rapture On Sunday 

By Grant Phillips


My apologies for using another song I wrote, but here goes. I also wrote this one three years ago, and it is called “Rapture On Sunday”.

The Lord is coming soon and it could be at any day
We may be at work church home or at play
The time is up to Him but ready we should be
You should see it too I hope you do agree

I’ve often wondered if the churches in the US of A
Would miss many members on that glorious day
Would the preacher keep on preaching would the choir sing right on
Would the pews still be full and just the children all gone

Amazing sermon series on an area we all could work on.

This was a conference that Joel Rosenberg put on the last couple years, it is great to hear so I thought I would post for others to enjoy.  There are 9 segments but each is only 10-12 minutes long.

Enjoy…

The danger and deception from within our Christian Religion is just as great during these last days.

It is important to stand with God and on His Word, the Rock, not the sand.

The false prophets’ numbers are great and they are within our walls, we must be watchful and we are not deceived as well as our fellow brothers and sisters.

I have always seemed to have a heightened sensitivity to deception.  I realize now that it is a gift from God and is one of several promptings that led me to begin this website. 

I had this growing sense of deception everywhere I turned.  I would come home and tell my wife, the deception “out there” is suffocating.  I couldn’t see why others couldn’t see it, I assumed they sensed it the same way I did.  I truly believe it is the tool God used to wake me up. 

Joel does a great job in this pair of video’s in laying out how so many will be deceived and lead astray and what to look out for.  We need to be on guard and knowledgeable in God’s Word during these last days, so we will not fall into “even the elect will be led astray”.

Excellent series on the coming Rapture and why it must occur before the seven year tribulation.

It is so exciting to see all of the prophecies coming together and intertwining to fulfill God’s word.

It warms the heart.  Time is short though, we must stay vigilent and continue to expose people to bible prophecy!

I will post the additional pieces of this sermon series once they become available.

Enjoy!

It is amazing how slowly it happens.  God’s great opponent has been chipping away at His Word ever since it was written.  It is so hard to keep up with it all and it can be very overwhelming when we try. 

Christians are being attacked on so many fronts these days, the majority of which are small subtle attacks.  I believe it is these small chipping attacks that are the most dangerous.  We can wake up one day and say: “How did I get here? 

In fact, I would say that is exactly what has happened.  Jesus warned us of this and told us to stay alert and not be deceived.  We have all, myself included, allowed ourselves to get distracted by all the worldly stuff in our lives, not just material things, but activities, work and leisure alike.

It is time to re-focus on what is important.  Jesus’ return is near!  The answer to where we woke up: it is the last days!  And we are in a spiritual battle, be careful not to be deceived.

May God Bless us as we “occupy” until His Son returns!

The Word’s words matter

At its recent convention in Phoenix, the largest evangelical denomination in the nation voted not to commend the 2011 New International Version (NIV) Bible because of its usage of gender-neutral language.

In the old translation of the world’s most popular Bible, John the Evangelist proclaims: “If anyone says, ‘I love God’ yet hates his brother, he is a liar.” Make that “brother or sister” in the new translation, which includes more gender-neutral language.
 
At its annual gathering last week, members of the Southern Baptist Convention argued that changes in the new NIV Bible alter the intended theological message. Dr. Randy Stinson, dean of the School of Church Ministries at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and president of The Council on Biblical Manhood & Womanhood, says evangelical Christians care deeply about every word in scripture.

These two shows show exactly what is headed our way over the next 6-9 months.  It aligns with what God told us would happen during the last days.  Please take the time to listen and ponder his words and His word… pray on it, what is truth?  It is so clouded these days with all of the deception.  Time is short, where do you stand!

Must watch – this short video really clears up why Israel is so firm on not returning to the 1967 lines.

Watch it and share it with your friends, we must stand with Israel!  God warned us of the consequences if we don’t.  He predicted this time would come.  Time is short, the world is has turned on Israel.

Zechariah 12:2-3 (NIV) – 2 “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.
