What’s Your Excuse?

“And when He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.  For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.  For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?  Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?”  Mark 8:34-37   “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him a name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in Heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”  Philippians 2:9-11   There is a reality, a true reality that is more important than anything else and is for each individual.  We are born and whether or not we see it as imminent, each one of us will eventually die, except for that generation of Believers who are on the face of the earth when the Rapture happens (1 Thes. 4:13-18; Titus 2:13).   We all start off going through life doing our own thing.  We pick up our own set of morals, based upon many influences.  We make friends, we have our family members, we get jobs or do a host of other things, yet what about God?  Can we go through life maybe going to...

The Night Is Far Spent Article Seven

The Night Is Far Spent… “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.”Romans 13:12. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15. Disclaimer: Chapter Seven: The Night Is Far Spent has presented an alternative theory that many Christians have NOT considered regarding the rising of the “Antichrist” and “his” antichrist global governing order.   CHAPTER SEVEN America The Revived Roman Empire? & A Tidbit Of Thought Many Christians today are taught to believe that the Antichrist will rise out of the ashes of the once-great land of the former ancient Roman Empire. Many Christians today believe that Rome will, at some point, return to its former glory. Although I agree Rome will rise back to power and have her glory return, this chapter will present an alternative theory. Alternative Theory: Rome’s recovery of her political empire, located in Italy, has now been relocated to the Capital of the United States of America, Washington DC. Brief Summary Of Rome’s Empire: The ancient Roman Empire ruled with ample power for over 1,000 years. Take Note: that the Roman Empire was one of the most influential civilizations in human history. The birth of Rome was 752 BC and lasted well over 1,000 years before its final destruction. During this period, Rome had gained vast power over much of Europe, Western Asia, and Northern Africa. Ancient Rome was indeed the sole “Super Power” of this area, and...

Repent!

“Jesus said, I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”  Luke 13:3   “And He said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins be preached in His name to all nations, beginning out of Jerusalem.”  Luke 24:46-47   There are churches all over from coast to coast of this country.  Numerous different denominations, tons of different viewpoints on the Bible, where does one turn?  What can be a test to see if these churches are biblical and truly have a pastor who is Saved and called by God to preach?    Doctrine is important, very important.  There are numerous errors found throughout nearly every church across the United States, some more obvious than others.  Some churches have some doctrines correct, others have other ones correct.  While I am not speculating that anyone would find an absolutely perfect Church, the harsh reality is that a church where a biblical Salvation message is not preached, could simply not make sense regarding of how they are following Christ and adhering to doctrine.   The Bible is quite clear on doctrine and also provides some warnings to Believers regarding to check into what they hear, as well at times to go elsewhere, should you find yourself in the midst of wolves, or as often happens, a church changes slowly, becoming apostate (Rev. 18:4).   “Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.”  1st Timothy 4:13   “Take heed to yourself...

The Night Is Far Spent (Article Six)

The Night Is Far Spent “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” Romans 13:12. CHAPTER SIX Brief Introduction To The Revived Roman Empire, Mark of the Beast, Quotes from Trump, the Middle East Peace Deal, Personality Traits of the “Antichrist,” Tibit of Speculation, & Tidbit of Thought REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE Chapter Six will only “BRIEFLY” talk about the Revived Roman Empire as Chapter Seven will go into full details about the Revived Roman Empire. As a detailed study, a lengthy chapter will need to examine this possibility. Many Christians believe that the “Antichrist” will arise out of the European Union. Many Christians believe that the Roman Empire will return from within Europe. However, considering the facts therein, should we considered another possibility that the Revived Roman Empire could be the United States? Currently, the United States is the world’s superpower. Indeed, several aspects (pillars) of how the United States formation indeed got built upon the blueprint of ancient Roman’s former legal system. If this is indeed true, could not the “Antichrist” come out of the United States???  Is the United States of America the new Revived Roman Empire government foretold in the Holy Scriptures??? If one did a little research online, one could examine that the United Nations (UN) has agreed to divide all nations on earth into ten (10) regional governments. For Example, The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) signed by President Bill Clinton in 1993 was the beginning-design to create one of ten provincial, regional...

The Night Is Far Spent (Article Five)

TITLE: THE NIGHT IS FAR SPENT ARTICLE: VOLUME FIVE The Night Is Far Spent  “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” Romans 13:12.  CHAPTER FIVE God’s Wrath Of The End-Times & God’s Mercy From The End-Times, A Tidbit Of Speculations, & A Tidbit Of Thought   Disclaimer:  Chapter, Five of The Night, Is Far Spent, is not attended to be politically driven to aid a person’s political beliefs to necessarily change. This chapter’s primary goal is to illustrate God’s Wrath and God’s Mercy of Past, Presence, and Future Events, Some Tidbit Of Speculations, and Tidbit Of Thought relating to the end-times that is approaching as prophesied in the Holy Scriptures. With that said, individuals do have the right to their own political beliefs. The goal behind this chapter is to expose what the Holy Scriptures teach regardless of what someone might agree with or not politically and scripturally speaking.   GOD’S WRATH OF THE END-TIMES & GOD’S MERCY FROM THE END-TIMES Introduction To Understanding God’s Wrath & Mercy Throughout the entire Holy Scriptures, we can see by the ordained writers of God’s Holy Word that God sincerely loves humanity. Even under God’s wrath, we can see that God has been demonstrating love towards humankind ever since the fall of His created order in the garden of Eden (Book of Genesis) by Adam and Eve. Even during the end of days during God’s decisive judgment on Israel and the gentile peoples during Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7. – Commonly Known As The Great...

The End is Near

“Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man complete in Christ Jesus.”  Colossians 1:28   “And I will bring distress upon men, and they shall walk like the blind, because they have sinned against Jehovah. And their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh like dung.”  Zephaniah 1:17   What happened to those who used to hold up signs in our big cities declaring that ‘the end is near’?  Movies on occasion used to add such things, often a ridicule to those who would be presumed to be mentally unstable.  Yet has not the Word of God proclaimed that the end will eventually come?   “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. ”  Matthew 24:14   Well there are two ‘ends’ to be precise.  There is the Rapture, which is the end of the Church age and then there is the end, which is the end of the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7), better known as the Tribulation.  Even then we could argue the Millennial reign, etc., but our job as Believers is the warn people to repent and believe the Gospel.    …”testifying both to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.”  Acts 20:21   “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...
