Nobody Takes it to Heart

“Therefore He has poured upon him the fury of His anger, and the strength of battle. And it has set him on fire all around, yet he did not know; and it burned him, yet he did not lay it to heart.”  Isaiah 42:25   Are the ‘powers-that-be’ getting ready for the mass deception that will culminate with God’s judgment of the world during the time of the Tribulation?    The reality is that there is evidence readily seen for anyone who is paying attention.  The Bible is quite clear that those who are Christians are to be ‘watching and ready’ (Matthew 24:42; Luke 12:40), yet the vast majority of those who profess to be Christians are neither watching nor ready.  Yet a potential scenario for a post-Rapture deception that seems to be a plausible possibility is ramping up over the past couple of years.   In the book The End, Project Blue Beam is mentioned, with a warning to those who are reading the book after the Rapture happens to NOT search for it on the internet.  At that time, it will be even more dangerous to do so, rather than an internet protocol address getting noted by the ‘powers-that-be’, if such a scenario actually plays out during that time, those trying to research such a scenario may very well be collected by the Antichrist world government system and ‘disappeared’ from society.   Of course with the censorship, counter false news and fake intelligence implants, reliable information regarding Project Blue Beam would be harder to come by then now, perhaps impossible during that time period.    While All...

Eternal Rest

“His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will appoint you administrator over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.”  Matthew 25:21   This is taken from a parable taught by Jesus.  For the purpose of this article, we are only going to focus on the precept taught by Jesus to hear the ‘well done’ by being a good and faithful servant, eventually entering into eternal rest with Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.   There are a lot of people who have hard lives, some more obvious than others.  When we go downtown or to known trouble areas of the city, handing out tracts and Bibles, we witness first hand the very hard lives of those who have obviously been captivated by the devil and are on the broad path to destruction (Matthew 7:13).   The other day we were making a round and after speaking to several people, handing out a drink and a snack, we were nearing the end of our resources on hand and heading back.  We still had a few more drinks and tracts and decided to cross a street where there was some sort of problem playing out.   Unbeknownst to us, a domestic dispute had just occurred.  There was a man with his hands up, ready for police intervention, he had just beat his wife, though no police were yet arriving.  There another man was trying to get him to move along, threatening to and then eventually calling the police over the domestic dispute.  His wife laying next to...

Authentic Biblical Salvation – Part Two

“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.” 2 Corinthians 5:20. What is an ambassador? This word is a legal governing constituted statute that decrees individuals who hold diplomatic authority to a foreign government or sovereign. Merriam Website Dictionary Online https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ambassador 1 : an official envoy especially : a diplomatic agent of the highest rank accredited to a foreign government or sovereign as the resident representative of his or her own government or sovereign or appointed for a special and often temporary diplomatic assignment She’s the American ambassador to Italy. 2 a: an authorized representative or messenger b: an unofficial representative When God’s Grace Saves His people, they become ambassadors for Christ. This verse astonishingly informs us that Christians get a new form of citizenship. We thereby become foreigners of our old state. It is kind of like people who migrate to other countries, where they denounce their former citizenship and become naturalized under a new nationality. We thereby become a citizen of God’s eternal Kingdom. “And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” Revelation 19:16. As you can see, dear reader, under natural law, a person who has believed by faith that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the World and faithfully repented to God the Father, these individuals inherits a new nationality. This nationality is our new birthright. This nationality is our new citizenship in the eternal King of God’s Heaven. Our New Birthright? “Jesus answered and said...

Guillotines & the Bible

“And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them; and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the Word of God, who had not done homage to the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.”  Revelation 20:4   This article is being done as a supplement to a radio show that will be aired in both the Philadelphia metro area, as well as throughout Africa.  Let’s take a moment to address this issue and look at some of the history of this teaching, then find out what the Bible says about guillotines and the Tribulation time period, starting off with a bit of history of the use of guillotines in our modern era.    Some research will show that guillotines and their predecessors can be tracked back to the Middle Ages, but the popularity of the guillotine, in its current form thought of in modern culture stems mainly back to the French Revolution.    During the French Revolution executions by guillotines were popularized and became quite a public display of death that were experienced by numerous amounts of victims.  In fact, the guillotine was used in France first in 1792 all the way until 1977!    There have been those who proclaim to have evidence for several years now of a conspiracy of guillotines being prepared to be used during martial law in the United States, as well also at least in...

The Dead are Alive!

“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 20:11-15   Finally, after a lot of catching up to do with other financial priorities, there was both time and enough money to be able to go out and proceed forward with the street ministry in Rapid City, SD.    I’ve always been a firm believer that going out by twos are a good practice (Mark 6:7) and seeing as how I have yet to find another who is willing to brave the streets to hand out Gospel tracts, Bibles and a snack to those who need it, my eleven year old son, who was Saved at the age of 4, is the other one who goes out with me.    While we walk around downtown Rapid City, we follow God’s attribute and are no respecter...
