More information on Comet Elenin from Frank Dimora’s site.

It is amazing once you see the orbits and how complex they are and how the alignment ends up perfectly with the Fall Feasts.

The Feast of Trumpets…

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!

This is an unbelievable story.  First off, I believe the boy 100%.  I feel it in my heart and soul.

I can’t believe how this “journalist” treats the story and the boy.

We are in the last days!

Jude 1:18 (NIV) – They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”

Boy Who Visited Heaven Is Mocked By MSNBC Host

This morning, on NBC’s top-rated show, “Today,” Matt Lauer spent considerable time with Colton Burpo, the young boy from Nebraska who claims that he visited heaven during an operation that saved his life.

Colton’s story became a New York Times, non-fiction, best-seller called “Heaven Is For Real.” But the Today Show was not the young man’s first big media interview, he’s been on other national tv shows including a Fox News Network appearance last Fall with Gretchen Carlson.

After this moving interview, the Colton Burpo story took a strange turn.

While doing some background interview for this story, I also stumbled into a clip of MSNBC‘s ’rising star’ Cenk Uygur.  Prior to sliding into the 6pm slot on MSNBC, Uygur hosted an internet-based political opinion show called The Young Turks.

I think about this topic a lot these days.  What is the “Bottom Line” for Christians?  Or better asked, What should be the “Bottom Line” for Christians?  What does God want each of us doing, until he comes to take us away?

In layman’s terms, I think it is to wake people up.  Turn them away from all of the distractions, Satan and the humanists have put into place.  Turn them back to God and help guide them to salvation.  The gift that God has laid out there for each of us.  All we have to do is accept it.

But there is much to overcome, and for anyone who has tried, it is hard to shake people free of the trappings of this world.  It feels like it is getting harder, people are more skeptical, more closed off, with hardened hearts.  But Christ is clear, we must continue to try, though the hour is getting late.  If we try and do not succeed, we must “shake the dust off” our sandals and move on to the next encounter just as Christ told his early disciples.

Matthew 10:14 (New King James Version) – 14 And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.

Mark 6:11 (New King James Version) – 11 And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”

Luke 9:5 (New King James Version) – 5 And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”

It is listed in three of the four Gospels, we should probably pay attention!

End Times–The Bottom Line

Mar 7, 2011

Global economic chaos is driving the distress and perplexity of the nations of planet earth. The words of the greatest of all prophets, Jesus Christ, echo in cavernous reverberation with each succeeding news report from the capitals of earth’s monetary centers.

“And there shall be…upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring” (Luke 21:25b).

Jesus’ Olivet Discourse spoke to conditions exponentially moved beyond norms. In other words, the “distress” and “perplexity” that nations will be experiencing as His Second Coming nears will be beyond any ever known by people of earth. And, in biblical terms, “seas and waves” refer to the masses of peoples. Jesus said that because there will be unprecedented distress and perplexity among the nations, the peoples populating those nations will be “roaring.”

A second of two articles that I felt would be appropriated to revisit based on current events.

We need to reflect on what road we are on, and if these events are a wake up call for us.

Do we need to make a change in our lives?  Are we on the right path?

Two Roads, Two Gates, One Goal

A Bible Study by Jack Kelley

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” (Matt. 7:13-14)

This passage is often quoted in reference to the different roads traveled by unbelievers as opposed to believers.  Unbelievers are said to be on a broad road with many fellow travelers, all on the way to their destruction.  Believers on the other hand are a small segment of humanity and are on a narrow road to salvation.  This difference is further defined by some as pertaining to our behavior.  The unbeliever’s gate is wide and his road is broad, supposedly indicating that there’s room for all kinds of sinful behavior, while for the believer it’s a small gate and a narrow road suggesting that there’s very little latitude for misbehaving.  A careless step or two and you may find yourself being rerouted onto the broad road.

One of two articles I wanted to post due to the recent events.

I think they really sum up what is important and what we should be doing / praying for during these last days.

Thank you Lord for your word and reassurance.  And most especially, for your Son, Jesus Christ!

“For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.” Psalm 107:9. Most of us studying prophecy know that the Rapture of the Church is on the near horizon. By studying the scriptures we can clearly find documentation focusing on that awesome event. The only part of the information concerning the rapture of Christ’s Church that will remain elusive is when the Rapture will occur. But as the psalmist says, God will fill a longing and hungry soul.

Sometimes I wonder, out of all those who believe Jesus will come and remove His Church from this planet, how many actually long for it and pray that it will happen, and that it will be soon. “When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.” Luke 11:2.

There’s a reason Jesus gave His disciples this prayer. It’s referred to by most as the Lord’s Prayer, but it should be called the Disciple’s Prayer. Jesus gave us that prayer to invoke God’s will. Each time we pray we should seek His will. What so many refuse to believe is that it’s His will that His Kingdom be set up here on earth. When Jesus finally sets up His earthly Kingdom after the battle of Armageddon His will will be done on earth, just as it is in Heaven.

The Glorious Grace of God Part 1

By Todd Baker


 

The grace of God is a fundamental aspect of salvation and is the sole means by which man’s redemption is accomplished. The renowned classic hymn “Amazing Grace” is the best known hymn of the Christian Church and has been universally heard by both Christian and non-Christian alike. But what exactly is so amazing about this grace?

Like many theological words, the word and use of “grace” is one of the several common words Christians frequently use in their witness and testimony to the unbeliever without really defining and explaining what it exactly means. Grace has routinely been defined as the undeserved favor of God shown to man. A more precise definition would be to add an additional feature to that by stating: The single source for this grace flows from God the Father through the incarnation of God the Son made effectual by the work of God the Holy Spirit in the heart of the one who believes. It is by this free and unmerited grace that sinners are forgiven, justified, and declared in right standing before God as objects of His

Good article and reminder in this time when many are falling away from God.  God loves each of us despite our sin and longs to help each of us, if we will simply turn back to him and ask…

COULD GOD REALLY LOVE ME?

By Grant Phillips


 

Are you convinced that a Holy God could never love you? Many are.

To the contrary, some people ride high on the waves of egotism, either believing there is no God or they do not need God in their lives. These unfortunate souls seem to think their works, their education, their position in the community and/or church, and various other excuses make them a gift to God. This is not only sad, but tragic, because they can never know God until they see themselves as God sees them.

Going back to the other end of the spectrum, others are just the opposite. They are so down on themselves, they think God could never care about them. However, these dear folks are closer to being helped spiritually, than the proud mentioned earlier. Why? Because they see themselves as God sees us all, apart from His Son Jesus. “As it is written, (more…)

Good article laying out the Doctrine of the Rapture and why God would have “hidden” it in scripture.  It also give a good back ground on Bible translations and where the word Rapture comes from…

_________________________________________________________________

The Hidden Doctrine Of The Rapture

Over time I’ve received several questions along the line of the following one.   “Why do you think that such an important occurrence as the rapture is spoken of so few times and why is it so “hidden” in scripture?”

It’s true the rapture is not mentioned very often, at least not directly.  In fact, the Greek word from which we get the whole rapture idea appears only 13 times in the New Testament and and even then it comes to us in a roundabout way.   The Greek word is harpazo and means to catch up or take by force.  In  most English translations of 1 Thes.4:17 it’s rendered “caught up”. The root from which it comes is haireo which means “to take for oneself.” 1 Thes. 4:17 is the only place the word harpazo refers to the rapture of the Church.

On top of that rapture is an English word that comes from the Latin translation of harpazo which is why you can’t find it in your  Bible.  You would have to read 1 Thes. 4:17 in Latin to see it there. (It appears as rapiemur.)  Many people don’t realize that for the thousand years preceding the Reformation, the Latin Vulgate was the primary translation of the original Greek texts.  It was the standard text longer than any other translation before or since.

Although the concept of the rapture appears through out the Bible  it wasn’t until about 20 years after the cross that it was described in any detail.  This is how Paul could say he was revealing a secret (Listen, I tell you a mystery) when he described it in 1 Cor. 15: 51-53. Together with 1 Thes. 4:15-17 it was the first clear teaching of the rapture in the history of mankind. Only with the benefit of Paul’s disclosure can you look back through the Bible and see the many hints of the rapture. (See Rapture References)

There was a good strategic reason to keep all this secret before the cross.  Paul spoke of it in 1 Cor 2:7-8. Explaining that his message of wisdom was not taken from the wisdom of the world, he said,

And All These Things Will Be Given To You As Well

by Jack Kelly


There’s a lot of talk these days about how bad things are, and what we should be doing to protect ourselves.  The internet is rich with advice. Some is competent and some is not, but almost all of it involves applying the ways of this world.  Some advise us to stock up on stuff, so when there’s a shortage we won’t run out. Others say we should also buy precious metals to help preserve the value of our assets when inflation comes.  The list goes on.

Some of this is OK, but there are a couple of things we should keep in mind when we’re trying to decide what to do.  First, we should know that this advice assumes that the coming hard times are only temporary.  You can’t stock up for life (or even a few years) and eventually you’ll need to convert your silver and gold back into money. So you can only think of these things as a bridge between prosperity past and prosperity future.  But when there’s no prosperity future you’re only delaying the inevitable.

I don’t understand why more ministers and churches talk about prophecy.

It is so inspiring and reassuring that we believe in the One True God.

It affirms our faith and makes us stronger.

There is loads of information given as well as very good context.

I especially like the end of the 3rd and 4th segment.  When he talks about the fiery furnace from Daniel as a picture of end times prophecy and also what the true test of belief in True Christ is that Jesus is God.

More interfaith events in the news.  These have really been picking up steam.

They are setting the stage and preparing the way for one world religion, based on tolerance and acceptance of all.

It will frame salvation as accessible via multiple paths with Jesus Christ as a way, instead of the Truth.

That Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth, and The life.  Only through Him can we receive salvation.

Those that believe this though will be painted as extremists and intolerant, in some cases it is already happening…

John 14:6 (NIV) – “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

The Lord has made me a watchmen for His people and Jesus knows I am pouring out my heart to Him for you all. Sept. 17, 2010

1″The word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man, speak to your countrymen and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, 3 and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, 4 then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not take warning and the sword comes and takes his life, his blood will be on his own head.”  Ezekiel 33:1-4
