I want to encourage everyone looking for Christ's soon return to start this year out on a positive note by focusing on everything that God has made beautiful and holy, and that the world hasn't completely ruined yet. Things like gathering with believers and family to love one another - whether virtually or in person, viewing the Sun or Moon setting or rising over oceans, mountains or trees, walking in quiet neighborhoods, touring forested parks while searching for wildlife, hiking in wilderness preserves, resting on moonlit ocean beaches, and stargazing on cloudless, moonless starry nights.
But that isn't easy if we look at the world at large. This is why God commanded His people to be strong and courageous, and to trust in Him even as they strived to do His Will (See Joshua 1:7-9, 2 Chronicles 32:7). As the Apostle Paul once said, we need to be strong because perilous times would come in the last days (See 2 Timothy 3:1-5), and I know that I don't need to tell you that those perilous times are here, folks! Outside of all the economic woes being felt worldwide due to the Pandemic, the USA, the United Kingdom, Russia, China and several Asian and European Nations are among the highest unborn baby killing centers of the world. These same nations are also among the highest offenders for promiscuous sex due to sexual immorality (i.e. couples having sexual relations outside of marriage, adultery, prostitution, and same sex unions).
Among the preceding nations listed, though they are all full of the following sinful activities, the USA is purported to be the number one porn producing capital of the world, the number one substance abuse capital of the world, and the number one addiction capital of the world outside of Iran and Afghanistan. But though the top economic centers of the world like the USA and UK have plenty of pedophilia cases and other forms of child abuse and domestic violence, many African and Middle Eastern Nations have far higher rates of both child abuse and domestic violence, especially wife-beating and child-beating, whereas civil unrest and unlawful acts of violence are high almost everywhere.
But they say every cloud has a silver lining, and Praise the Lord that I found the silver lining even though I live in one of the most immoral nations on Earth! This is the fact that the Bible indicates in many places that God's people around the world would be delivered from the terrible events of the Great Tribulation. But with this positive statement I must emphasize that this deliverance will NOT be before we believers are ALL FACING PERIL! The Bible forewarns in numerous places that this deliverance will be at the very last moment - after violence and immorality have reached all time highs, and after all believers are facing great peril from the pestilence of Covid19 around the world. But as it says in Psalm 91:3, “Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the perilous pestilence!”
Right now, whether God's children want to admit it or not, they are all facing great peril and need to pray all of Psalm 91 over themselves as they seek to do God's will, and to triumphantly finish the race set before them until Yahshua comes. Although the saints are not fully engulfed by the full weight of this peril yet, the Antichrist's henchmen in his wicked kingdom are closing in to destroy God's people around the world. They are doing so using this pandemic and the persecution, inability to travel, and joblessness being promised to all those who refuse the vaccine, which is a worse poison than the virus it is purported to protect people against!
We have not yet seen the worst of what this pandemic will bring about, and if God is true to His Word, we won't be here when things do get terrifically worse due to the Antichrist's open persecution of all those who refuse to take his mark, worship him and accept his totalitarian control of the world's economy. Because when this happens, the Wrath of God is going to be poured out, and those who love and follow Yahshua are NOT subject to God's Wrath! (See Romans 5:8-10, 1 Thess. 1:9-10, 1 Thess. 5:8-10).
So the positive note is that this world couldn't get much worse than it already is before the Antichrist (or the Beast government that he creates and leads) demands total allegiance by requiring those who worship him and his government to take the Mark of the Beast. The vaccine may not yet be that Mark. But it is quickly moving in that terrifying direction, so I firmly believe that we who love and follow Yahshua will soon be GOING HOME to be with Yahshua in the very near future!
Yahshua said that there are many mansions in His Father's House where He has gone to prepare a place for us (See John 14:1-3). These mansions are in the Heavenly Zion, which is the New Jerusalem in Heaven. This Magnificent City of God is the real Shangri-La with translucent gold streets and golden walls encrusted with precious jewels (See Revelation 21:22-26, quoted below). Also, according to clues hidden in the Pillar of Enoch - which is also known as the Great Pyramid at Giza, and is a symbol for the New Jerusalem - this city is so huge that it will take up half of the Earth. According to Revelation 21, it will become the everlasting dwelling place of all born again saints that take part in the Wedding of the Lamb in Heaven. The New Jerusalem will come down out of Heaven to rest on the New Earth after the Millennial Kingdom of Christ comes to an end, and the New Heaven and the New Earth are created.
That is why I used the passage from the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 60 that I quoted in the graphic at the beginning of this article. It is speaking of our life in the New Jerusalem, where there will also be no need for the Sun or Moon:
Revelation 21:9-12, 22-26 - “Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. 12 Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel...”
“But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city had no need of the Sun or of the Moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. 25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). 26 And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.”
Interestingly,✨💖Revelation 21, verse 23💖✨ says that the Glory of God will illuminate the city instead of the Sun, and - as I postulated in my books and previous articles - the white garments each saint will wear in eternity is none other than a garment woven of the radiant light of the Shekinah Glory of God, garments that bestow everlasting light and life, but that Adam and Eve lost in the Garden of Eden when they sinned. I am awaiting that day when we who love Yahshua are resurrected - when we will be clothed with the perfect light covering of God forever! But in the meantime...
PLEASE REMEMBER TO BE HUMBLE, TO REPENT, AND TO FLEE FROM SIN SO THAT YOU WILL BE WORTHY TO BE TAKEN UP!
Yes, my beloved brethren, we are indeed saved by our belief or faith in Christ and by accepting His shed blood for our redemption. But loving and believing in Christ means keeping His commandments, which are the MORAL LAWS of God. The only works of the Mosaic Law that were nailed to the Cross are the priestly and sacrificial laws that Christ's perfect sacrifice did away with the need for. So do not be fooled by faulty preaching into thinking that you are not being called to be holy, or that you will not be judged if you sin after having faith in Christ. This is a lie because there is no forgiveness without REPENTANCE, and turning away from sin (See Matthew 4:17, 9:13, 11:20-21, Luke 13:1-5, 15:7-10, 17:3-4). If we are not careful, though we may still be saved, we can lose our rewards (See Col. 2:11-19, 3:23-25, 1 Cor, 3:8-15, Heb. 11:5-7). Salvation is guaranteed by our belief in Christ, but our rewards can be lost if we are not striving to keep Christ's Commandments. Though it is not often taught, brothers and sisters, please try to see that the Rapture is a REWARD for meritorious service, not a gift for those who have done little or nothing to further the Kingdom of God!
Believe what the Bible says, and do not follow people who do not interpret it correctly. Yahshua our Messiah or Christ said that those who love Him will KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS several times in the Gospels (See John 14:15, 21, 15:10). This is not a conditional statement, but applies to everyone that is grafted into Israel as born again believers in Yahshua. He also laid down what the MORAL LAW is for believers in the Sermon on the Mount (See Matthew Ch. 5, 6, 7), and in other places throughout the Gospels when He spoke about loving and forgiving one another (See Matthew 6:14-15, 18:21-34, John 13:34-35, 15:11-17). All of the Moral Laws are about loving one another as God loves us. Though we cannot be perfectly free from sin in this world, we can strive to be as sinless as possible and that is what Christ called those who love Him to do.💖✨
✨💖YAHSHUA IS WITH US, AND HE WILL DELIVER US!💖✨
✨💖MARANATHA YAHSHUA!💖✨
✨💖Love and Blessings!💖✨
