Enslavement

“The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many lands and against great kingdoms; of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.  As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then the prophet shall be known, that Jehovah has truly sent him.”  Jeremiah 28:8-9

 

“Jehovah stands up to plead His case, and stands up to judge the peoples.  Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of His people, and their rulers. For you have eaten up the vineyard, the plunder of the poor is in your houses.  What do you mean that you crush My people, and grind the faces of the poor? says the Lord Jehovah of Hosts.  Furthermore Jehovah says, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched out necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and make a tinkling with their feet; therefore Jehovah will attach scabs to the top of the head of the daughters of Zion; and Jehovah will lay bare their secret parts.  In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, and their headbands, and their crescents of the moon, the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils; the turbans, and the leg ornaments, and the sashes, and the perfume boxes, and the amulets; the rings and nose jewels;  the festal apparel and the outer garments; and the mantles, and the purses;  the mirrors and the fine linen; and the turbans and the veils.  And it shall be, instead of a smell of perfume, there shall be an odor of decay. And instead of a belt, a rope. And instead of well set hair, baldness. And instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.  Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.”  Isaiah 3:13-25

 

The entire world is facing problems that are unprecedented in scale.  There are revolts against the powers-that-be in many countries going on right now.  People are divided on their beliefs regarding how to fix the many ails facing their nations, but how many times are those divisions in various places firmly affixed to whether or not a group of people believe in God or deny their Creator? 

 

All over the world there are countries failing, economic problems — a literal worldwide time bomb waiting to implode the established financial norms, wars regarding religious beliefs, rumors of wars regarding ideologies and geopolitical statuses and numerous other ills.  In America it is not much different, we now stand at over $20,000,000,000,000 for our National Debt with MUCH more owed on all of the future obligations, like Social Security and government pensions.  Our infrastructure of the nation is in need of TRILLIONS of dollars in repair, our health care system is broken with prices skyrocketing for services at our local hospitals, the price of needed goods, such as utilities, food, home and car maintenance continue to climb, all as wages continue to fall to the battle of inflation.  America is debt-ridden and so far gone all Americans can do is hope that something will change that will fix these and many other ails.  Yet consider for a moment, take the wool out of your eyes and look around.

America is the land of enslavement…

 

A lot could be said about our rates of cancer, compared to other industrialized first world nations or the fact that we spend more on healthcare than any other country.  I could add the fact that our privacy is all but eroded, a secretive police state surrounds Americans that live inside a virtual prison without walls.  Our food is tainted containing ingredients and chemicals that are banned in many other countries, all while being irradiated, mixed with genetically modified foods, nanotechnology and a whole host of other issues, in essence, if you will, poisoned.  The same would go with our water treatment processes in most places around the country, the spraying of who-knows-what chemicals in the skies around the globe and now our hackable televisions that are recording when turned off and sending the information to unknown government agencies. 

 

Our emails our watched, our phone data collected, our driving patterns and plans recorded, our faces scanned and our beliefs recorded.  All around us is a tightening of a noose around our necks as the country continues down a path to destruction, enslaved, yet still insistent on refusing to repent to our Creator.  The trap has been set, the plans have been laid out and all around us there are the dead walking around while alive.  They cannot see, nor comprehend the evil that has been planned for them.  Instead of realizing the peril that they and our society is in, they rather plead to the very keepers of the prison to continue to build the walls stronger, to ensure that there be no escape, that all of those who dissent in any form be quarantined from their supposed utopia. 

 

Do you not see the Babylonian corporate system all around you?  Does one who works in a corporate industry not hear the plans laid out to continue the conquering through deceit and treachery and not perceive that ultimately that will include them?  The enticement is great, the deception is huge, the very enemy that is praised, the one that makes society tick, the one where countless women scramble from shop to shop and spend many meals divulging on their delicacies of deceit and men are engulfed in a culture that has been laid out for them, are part of the same financial arm of those who seek to do you harm, those who have created a plan to deny their Creator and swallow up as many souls with their doomed dominating scheme. 

 

All around us there are individuals who are trapped in this grand diabolical scheme of whose depths should not be searched out.  Yet we can clearly see the enslavement of the souls of men all around us and the lie has not just spread throughout the secular ills of our society, but has enwrapped the church as well.

 

The other day it came out that much of the chicken purchased at fast food restaurants is not all chicken.  As in times past, this shouldn’t have been a shock, but one of the companies had a rate of around 50% of real chicken, with the rest mixed with textured soy protein to give it the look and mouth feel of chicken, of which I think it would be better termed, ‘picken’.  Flavored to taste like chicken, designed to look like chicken, priced to be chicken, yet it by definition is not chicken, simply contains chicken. 

 

There were also other well known companies who were not as bad, theirs contained up to 85% chicken, a more notable percent.  In comparison with the well known company that contained only 50% or less of chicken, the others seemed to be able to be brushed off as being ‘good enough’ and not so bad.  Yet consider for a moment the partial truths being handed to people all over the world. 

 

If churches were only preaching half of the truth of God’s Word, would not the other half be lies out of their mouth?  When eternity is at stake, would they not be placing the souls of every hearer at risk of never coming to repentance and believing into God’s Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the Cross for their sins and rose again from the dead?  What if 85% of the truth was told in churches, would it then be any different?  Still the truth wouldn’t be fully told, perhaps some churches might even preach 98% truth?  What then, what if the Truth they left out was regarding the Salvation of your soul?

 

What if they told people that ‘God accepts them just as they are’ or what if they promised them wealth and prosperity?  What if they told them repentance wasn’t necessary or had them simply repeat a prayer after them and proclaimed them to be children of God, Christians, without even delivering the full gospel message that they might not even know themselves?  What if they refused to believe and preach in a literal Hell, or refused to believe that Jesus Christ was truly the Son of God, born of a virgin, who became a Man, suffered and died on the Cross for our sins, rose again, conquering death, to sit at the right hand of God, even though we were not worthy to receive such a free gift from our Creator?  What if they took something so easy, such as the simplicity that is found in Jesus Christ and made it so complex that it became so confusing as to what the truth surrounding such a message as the Gospel even was?

 

“But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”  2nd Corinthians 11:3

 

“Then Peter said to them, Repent, and let every one of you be immersed in the name of Jesus Christ to the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”  Acts 2:38-39

 

…”testifying both to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.”  Acts 20:21

 

“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”  2nd Corinthians 5:21

 

“Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”  Mark 1:14-15

 

“And you being dead in trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all formerly conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others; but God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might display the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.  For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, that no one should boast.”  Ephesians 2:1-9

 

“No one has ascended to Heaven but He who came down from Heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in Heaven.  And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that everyone believing into Him should not perish but have eternal life.  For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone believing into Him should not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.  The one believing into Him is not judged; but the one not believing is judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.  For everyone practicing evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be reproved.  But the one doing the truth comes to the Light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been worked in God.”  John 3:13-21

 

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.  To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.”  Revelation 3:20-21

 

Indeed!  They have done it and they will continue to do so.  The remaining Churches that still refuse to fall to the whelms of society are surrounded and under constant attack.  They know in Whom to trust and have acted wisely in trusting in Him who is able to deliver, no matter the odds against them.  Outside, the wall is being built to ensure that the enslavement if permanent, from within those whom themselves are enslaved are acting in the gulag as guards and pressing against those who have refused to be overcome by the powers of darkness.  Those who put their trust in something more than material items or a god of the imagination of their wicked hearts are wise for they put their trust, their faith, their lives in the hands of the Almighty, the Most High, the One who will never forsake them or let them down, their King is a mighty King who will indeed deliver and avenge.  Though they live among those who are perishing they are free, they are not enslaved though they see those being led away.

 

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against authorities, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in the heavenlies.”  Ephesians 6:12

 

“Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.  Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear Jehovah and depart from evil.  It shall be healing to your navel and refreshment to your bones.”  Proverbs 3:5-8

 

“Do not fret yourself over evil doers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.  For they shall soon be cut down like the grass; and wither as the green herb.  Trust in Jehovah, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on faithfulness.  Delight yourself also in Jehovah, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.  Roll your ways upon Jehovah; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass.  And He will bring forth your righteousness like the light, and your justice like the noonday.  Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret over him who prospers in his way, because of him who works out wicked devices.  Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret; it only leads to evil.  For evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait upon Jehovah, they shall inherit the earth.  For yet a little while, and the wicked shall be no more; indeed, you shall diligently consider his place, and it shall be no more.  But the lowly shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.  The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.  Jehovah laughs at him, for He sees that his day is coming.  The wicked have drawn out the sword and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to slaughter those who walk uprightly.  Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.  A little that the righteous has is better than the riches of many wicked.  For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholds the righteous.  Jehovah knows the days of the upright, and their inheritance shall be forever.  They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.  But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be as prized lambs; they are consumed; like smoke they vanish.  The wicked borrows and does not repay, but the righteous shows mercy and gives.  For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth, and those cursed by Him shall be cut off.  The steps of a good man are ordered by Jehovah, and he delights in His way.  Though he fall, he shall not be cast down, for Jehovah upholds his hand.”  Psalms 37:1-24

 

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will make you strong; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.  Behold, all those who were enraged against you shall be ashamed and disgraced; they shall be as nothing. And those who strive with you shall perish.  You shall seek them, and shall not find them; the men striving against you shall be as nothing; at an end.  For I, Jehovah your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, Fear not; I will help you.”  Isaiah 41:10-13

 

“The earth is Jehovah’s, and the fullness of it; the world, and those who dwell in it.  For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the rivers.  Who shall go up into the hill of Jehovah? Or who shall stand in His holy place?  He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.  He shall receive the blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.  This is the generation of Jacob of those who seek Him, who seek Your face. Selah.  Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of Glory shall come in.  Who is this King of Glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.  Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of Glory shall come in.  Who is this King of Glory? Jehovah of Hosts, He is the King of Glory. Selah.”  Psalms 24

 

“For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.”  Psalms 116:8

 

“Therefore thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will plead your case and take vengeance for you; and I will dry up her sea and make her springs dry.  And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, a horror and a hissing, without inhabitant.  They shall roar together like lions; they shall growl like lions’ cubs.  In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunk so that they may rejoice and sleep a never-ending sleep, and not wake up, says Jehovah.  I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with the male goats.  How Sheshach is captured! And how the praise of the whole earth is seized! How Babylon has become a waste among the nations!  The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of its waves.  Her cities are desolate, a dry land and a wilderness, a land in which no man dwells, nor does any son of man pass by it.  And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up. And the nations shall not flow together to him any more; yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.  My people, go out of her midst; and let each man deliver his soul from the fierce anger of Jehovah.”  Jeremiah 51:36-45

 

“For Christ did not send me to immerse, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.  For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the intelligent.  Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?  For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who are believing.  For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;  but we preach Christ crucified, truly to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness,  but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.  Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”  1st Corinthians 1:17-25

 

“For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.  To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?  For we are not, as so many, peddling the Word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ, in the sight of God.”  2nd Corinthians 2:15-17

 

“Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in Him, If you continue to abide in My Word, you are truly My disciples.  And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.  They answered Him, We are Abraham’s seed, and have been in slavery to no one at any time. How can You say, You will be made free?  Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Everyone practicing sin is a slave of sin.  And a slave does not remain in the house forever, but the son remains forever.  Therefore if the Son sets you free, you shall truly be free.”  John 8:31-36

 

“Then Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the Words of eternal life.  And we have believed and understood that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  John 6:68-69

 

“Now hear this, O foolish people, without understanding; who have eyes and see not; who have ears and hear not.  Do you not fear Me? says Jehovah. Will you not tremble at My presence, I who have placed the sand for the boundary of the sea by a perpetual decree, so that it cannot pass it? And though its waves toss to and fro, yet they cannot prevail; though they roar, yet they cannot pass over it?  But this people has a stubborn and rebellious heart; they have turned aside and departed.  Neither do they say in their heart, Let us now fear Jehovah our God, who gives both the former and the latter rain in its season; He reserves unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.  Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good from you.  For among My people are found wicked ones; they lie in wait, as one who sets snares; they set a trap, they catch men.  Like a cage full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit; therefore they have become great and grown rich.  They have grown fat, they gleam. Yes, they surpass the deeds of the wicked; they do not plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may get rich; and they do not judge the right of the needy.  Shall I not punish for these things? says Jehovah. Shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?  An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land.  The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their own power; and my people love to have it so, and what will you do in the end?”  Jeremiah 5:21-31

 

Dear Reader, it is not too late to break free from the enslavement of sin, from the ills of society.  Why continue to march along with those who are dead in their sins, those whom the Curse is devouring?  They will be punished for their wickedness, but God is merciful and kind, willing to pardon, to remove your sins and make you white as snow.  His Son Jesus Christ has already paid the price, repent and believe into Jesus, let the bonds that secure you be broken, take hold of the free gift, change from your wicked ways, be set free and set your mind on things above. 

 

“Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.  For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives unto God.  Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.  And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.  For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under Law but under grace.  What then? Shall we sin because we are not under Law but under grace? Let it not be!  Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?  But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered to you.  And having been set free from sin, you became slaves to righteousness.  I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness, and to iniquity unto iniquity, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness unto sanctification.  For when you were slaves to sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.  What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.  But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end, eternal life.  For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  Romans 6:8-23

 

“The earth mourns and fades away; the world droops and fades away; the haughty people of the earth grow feeble.  The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, and have broken the perpetual covenant.  Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell in it are held guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.”  Isaiah 24:4-6

 

“He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.  And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to what his work shall be.  I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the First and the Last.  Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the Tree of Life, and may enter through the gates into the city.  But outside are dogs and sorcerers and prostitutes and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and produces a lie.  I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify these things to you, to the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.  And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him who hears say, Come. And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take of the Water of Life freely.”  Revelation 22:11-17

 

“And the devil, who led them astray, was cast into the Lake of Fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.  And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heavens fled away. And there was found no place for them.  And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God. And books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, out of the things which were written in the books.  And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one, according to their works.  And Death and Hades were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death.  And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire.”  Revelation 20:10-15

 

“Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has established a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has appointed. He has given assurance of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”  Acts 17:30-31

 

“Come now and let us reason together, says Jehovah: Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”  Isaiah 1:18

 

“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”  Galatians 3:13-14

 

“Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and irons; because they rebelled against the Words of the Mighty God, and despised the counsel of the Most High; therefore He humbled their heart with labor; they fell down, and there was no one to help.  Then they cried out unto Jehovah in their adversity, and He delivered them out of their distresses.  He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke and tore their bonds apart.  Oh, that men would give thanks unto Jehovah for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the sons of men!”  Psalms 107:10-15

 

“For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies, declares the Lord Jehovah. Therefore turn and live!”  Ezekiel 18:32

 

“If then you are raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.  Set your mind on things above, not on the things of the earth; for you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.  When Christ who is our life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.  Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: sexual perversion, uncleanness, passion, evil lusts, and covetousness, which is idolatry.  Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience; in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.  But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.”  Colossians 3:1-8

 

Then you will be truly free, then liberty will have come to you.  Irregardless of the situation you might find yourself in, as numerous people are in many troubles, God is a kind, merciful and loving God to those who are His, yet He will repay for those who refuse to repent of their sins and believe into His Son.  What will you do if it is too late? 

 

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become children of God, to those believing into His name:  who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”  John 1:12-13

 

“After these things I saw another angel coming down from Heaven, having great power, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.  And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every unclean spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!  For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual perversities, the kings of the earth have prostituted themselves with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the power of her luxury.  And I heard another voice from Heaven saying, Come out of her, my people, so that you not share in her sins, and so that you not receive of her plagues.  For her sins have reached to Heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.  Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her.  By however much she has glorified herself and lived luxuriously, by the same amount give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.  Therefore her plagues will come in one day; death and mourning and famine. And she will be consumed with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.  The kings of the earth who prostituted themselves and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance because of the terror of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.  And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore: merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of thyine wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; and cinnamon and incense, ointment and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, beasts and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.  And the fruit that your soul lusted for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all.  The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance because of the terror of her torment, weeping and wailing, and saying, Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!  For in one hour such great riches is come to nothing. Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance  and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What is like this great city?  And they threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.  Rejoice over her, O Heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!  Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall by no means be found anymore.  The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall by no means be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall ever be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall by no means be heard in you anymore.  And the light of a lamp shall not ever shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not ever be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were led astray.  And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.”  Revelation 18

 

There would be nothing you could do, there is nowhere to hide from His presence, there is no case to be made against your Creator.  You might have a haughty argument prepared in your mind, but as you drop as if dead standing before Him in judgment, your mouth will be shut and you will be doomed for eternity in Hell.  Do you laugh at such a notion, such a statement?  I would rather you would not laugh, but mourn in realization that it is true and you are deserving of such, but God is not mocked. 

 

“Am I a God near by, says Jehovah, and not a God afar off?  Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says Jehovah. Do I not fill the heavens and earth? says Jehovah.”  Jeremiah 23:23-24

 

“And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, Do not be terrified; I am the First and the Last.  I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.”  Revelation 1:17-18

 

“Turn to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am the Mighty God, and there is no other.  I have sworn by Myself, the word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.”  Isaiah 45:22-23

 

“And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”  Matthew 25:46

 

“And at that time, Michael shall stand up, the great ruler who stands for the sons of your people. And there shall be a time of distress, such as has not been since there was a nation until that time. And at that time, your people shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the Book.  And many of those sleeping in the earth’s dust shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproach and everlasting abhorrence.”  Daniel 12:1-2

 

“Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth; those who have done good, unto the resurrection of life, and those who have practiced evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.”  John 5:28-29

 

“And they shall go out and observe the dead corpses of the men who have rebelled against Me. For their worm does not die, nor is their fire quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”  Isaiah 66:24

 

“Do not be led astray, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap eternal life.”  Galatians 6:7-8

 

Do you fear walking down a dark alley late at night in a bad neighborhood?  Well you would be better off spending your nights walking the alleys of Chicago, awaiting your day of death, than not fearing Him who has power not only over your body, but your soul. 

 

“And do not fear those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear Him who has power to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.”  Matthew 10:28

 

Wake up and look around, this is not a joke, this is serious! 

 

Amen!

 

 

P.S.  To those who watch these writing from afar, God sees you and the same message applies to you.  Repent and seek Him before it is too late, you too are in the same trap, though you might think you are exempt, I challenge you to see how far your ‘exemption’ goes.  In the very moment of discovery you will find yourself also underneath condemnation by the very wicked system that will also devour you.  Take a look at those who opened the window of exposure into your schemes and the plots against them.  Your safety only rests in your enslavement to the very evil scheme that will also seal your soul to an eternity in a literal Hell for those who have refused their Creator. 

 

“Jehovah has sworn and will not regret it: You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.  The Lord at Your right hand shall shatter kings in the day of His wrath.  He shall judge among the nations, He shall fill them with dead bodies; He shall greatly shatter the heads over the earth.”  Psalms 110:4-6
