“For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, I will now arise, says Jehovah; I will set him in the safety for which he pants.” Psalms 12:5 All over the world there are those who are oppressed. How often does man’s system of oppression, through various means, affect a large amount of people through greed and a desire of control? How often are people struggling throughout their entire lives, just trying to make a life for themselves and their family? While those who reside in the United States have such plights, those numbers are nothing in comparison with those throughout the world, those who are the oppressed of the world. Literally what was God’s original intention has become rotten through the consequences of sin entering the world. The curse has made things to where they are today. Let’s just be frank about the state of our societies of the world. Quite often the focus has recently been on the ridiculous amount of increase in bubbles, as well as debt throughout the world. The focus is often on those who are in the midst of this system, putting their treasures of the world (Matthew 6:19-21), before seeking God Almighty, their Creator, of whom they will give an account to (1st Peter 4:5). Yet there is a world, one of which I have seen with my own eyes, that is outside of the scope of those same people who literally live for the moment and blow with every wind of doctrine that comes their way or joining in movements or trendy events as they...

“Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Everyone practicing sin is a slave of sin.” John 8:34 The other day I stopped into a local restaurant to pick up some food. Around me were the emotionless faces of those also waiting, as well as the staff of the restaurant who had some heavy rock music blaring in the background. Business as usual as people were picking up their food, with blank stares. Looking around, knowing that most of the world’s population are unsaved, the shackles of sin were apparent to those around me. I was standing amongst slaves, slaves to sin. Was there anything remarkable about these customers and employees? Was there anything that made them worse than any other sinner, who is lost without Christ as their Savior? No, but at that moment as I was in there picking up dinner, the realization that there are so many lost, so many people who are slaves to sin, who desperately need Jesus as their Savior, hit my soul hard. Having worked in the restaurant industry for many years, I can attest that much of the people whom I have worked with over the years have serious consequences from the sin that is in their lives. Yet, all mankind, irregardless of how many consequences they face from sin in their current states, have the most serious consequence awaiting them, should they not repent and by faith believe into Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Perhaps you are one of those who are reading this. Maybe you realize that you have so many issues,...

“If you refrain from delivering those being led away to death, those about to die; if you say, Behold, we did not know it; does not He who ponders the heart consider it? And the Keeper of your soul, does He not know it? And shall He not repay to a man according to his deeds?” Proverbs 24:11-12 Here we are in the end of 2017, a year that in my opinion that seemed to go by quite quickly. Yet, as the remainder of the year plays out and the next year begins, I realize just how horrible of times we really live in, as a nation, as a world. Why? “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” Jeremiah 8:20 We live in a time where bible prophecy has clearly been fulfilled. What else has to be fulfilled before Christ appears to take Home His bride, prior to the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7)…nothing. That’s right, nothing. Nothing else has to happen on the prophetic timeline. We live in a time where people, so-called evangelical christians, often from fully apostate churches are pleased to see Jerusalem recognized as the capital of Israel. While I am also happy that finally someone did what should have always been done, recognizing Jerusalem as the capital, the very thought that people are pushing so hard for Israel and peace, without realizing that the fulfillment of that very peace deal might as well be the beginning of the Tribulation. While it is certainly possible that a peace treaty could be signed that...

“Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many entering in through it. Because narrow is the gate and distressing is the way which leads unto life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:12-14 Everywhere people set goals for themselves. Many of those goals are focused on finances. There are goals to pay for college, goals to own transportation, goals to buy a house, goals to save for retirement. Lives are planned based upon certain interpretations of how to achieve these goals. Yet for many a goal of becoming rich is upon their hearts. All around this nation financial bubbles are exploding in growth. The amount of student loan debt acquired by those who are studying for a career to obtain such goals has hit a record amount. Auto loans have exploded reaching, new highs in indebtedness of our American society. Home buying in many places has created bubbles of unsustainable pricing and debt that is piling up in a manner that is neither sustainable or realistic. The stock market is increasing often by three digit figures per day, far surpassing common sense and then there is Bitcoin. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are exploding in value as hand joins to hand across this once great nation, with those who are investing hoping for a landslide of profits to materialize in front of them. The false security in these bubbles...

“Do I delight with pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord Jehovah, and not that he should turn back from his ways and live?” Ezekiel 18:23 “Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall live life because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.” Ezekiel 3:21 A harsh title to start off an article with, but perhaps it could be something like #CastIntoLakeOfFire or #NotFoundWrittenInBookOfLife. These would be the harshest words, as each man will stand before their Creator and if their name is not written in the Book of Life, they will be cast into the Lake of Fire and tormented day and night forever and ever. So to those of you who can take a minute, for those of you who are willing to contemplate for a moment, what God’s Word declares about sin and about Salvation, then might as well do that now, before you stand before Him at the Great White Throne Judgment. “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....

“The burden against the Valley of Vision. What ails you now, that you have gone up to the housetops? The noisy city, the joyous city, is filled with turbulence. Your slain ones are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle. All your rulers have fled together; they have been captured without the bow; all who are found in you have been captured together; they have fled from afar. Therefore I said, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly; do not insist on comforting me because of the devastation of the daughter of my people. For it is a day of trouble, and of trampling down, and of perplexity by Jehovah of Hosts in the Valley of Vision; of breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains. And Elam carried the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield. And it shall come to pass that your choicest valleys shall be full of chariots; and the horsemen shall surely be set in array at the gate. And he uncovered Judah‘s covering, and you looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest. You have also seen the breaks in the city of David, that they are many; and you gathered the waters of the lower pool. And you have counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you have broken down the houses to fortify the wall. You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool; but you have not looked to its Maker, nor had regard for Him who formed it...
