BIG TIME
Wednesday, November
20, 2013, 9:00 a.m. – I woke up and got up the first time at 5:30 a.m.
Jesus put the song “Great Is The Lord”
(Ward, A.A./Michael W. Smith) in my mind. I read 2 Thessalonians 1 (NIV), and took some notes, then fell back asleep
around 7:30 a.m. and slept until 9. This time, when I awoke, the Lord put the
song “Unless You are Born Again”
(Original Works) in my mind. I read the news and I read 2 Thessalonians 2 (NIV). Speak, Lord, your words to my heart.
Great is The Lord
/ Ward, A.A. / Michael W. Smith
Great is the Lord, He
is holy and just,
By His power we trust
in His love.
Great is the Lord, He
is faithful and true,
By His mercy, He
proves He is love.
The Rebellion
Concerning
the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you,
brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching
allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by
letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. Don’t let anyone
deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs
and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will
oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is
worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to
be God. ~ 2 Thess. 2:1-4
The
coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will
use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the
lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They
perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason
God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so
that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted
in wickedness. Vv. 9-12
None of us knows the day or the hour of the coming of the
Lord, but what we do know is that Jesus Christ will not return for us until the
“rebellion occurs” and “the man of lawlessness” is revealed. This is what
scripture teaches. Exactly how he will be revealed it doesn’t say, but I
believe we will know it when we see it, because “He will oppose and will exalt
himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets
himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.” So, what exactly
does this mean? Remember that God’s temple is now the body of Christ, the true
church. And, proclaiming himself to be God may not be literal, but figurative,
i.e. this could have to do with him taking the rightful position of God/Christ
in the church as the head of the church, which is, by the way, what the church
has allowed via the 501c3 status underneath the authority of the U.S.
government, but that is just in the US, not in the world as a whole.
A “rebellion” is “an organized attempt to overthrow a
government, or other authority, by the use of violence” (Encarta). Now, I know
that rebellions have been going on for generations. Yet, let me share with you
what the Lord Jesus is showing me here. The US and their allies and the global
elites of this world have been plotting the takeover of the world for some time
now. And, they have systematically been taking down the governments of nations
one at a time for several years now via false flag operations, man-made
disasters/storms, orchestrated uprisings and internal conflicts within nations;
and via the killing of innocents and Christ’s true servants and witnesses, and
blaming others for their dirty work. We can’t trust anything they say or
anything we read or hear in the mainstream media these days.
The P5+1 of the UN Security Council is presently meeting
with Iran in Warsaw, Poland, supposedly to negotiate Iran’s nuclear program,
i.e. to try to get Iran to cease with moving forward with their nuclear
activities and ambitions. Nearly every time the Lord has shown me anything
related to our negotiations with Iran he has shown me that what we blame Iran
of doing is really what we are doing, and now the Lord is showing me that these
meetings are really about stopping the progression of the gospel of Jesus
Christ from spreading, i.e. the goal is to stop the proselytization of the
gospel, and it is about the murdering of those who are spreading the gospel of
Jesus Christ, because we (and the gospel) are the biggest threat to Satan’s
kingdom. And, the goal of the UN Climate Conference in Geneva, which ends in
two days, is to make the nations of this world bow to the real climate change,
i.e. that of the rise of the New World Order Beast to global power, and to do
so through threats of and violence against people and nations, and also
targeting Christ’s true servants and witnesses – “those who keep God’s commands
and hold fast their testimony about Jesus” (See Rev. 6:9; 12:11, 17; 17:6;
19:10; 20:4).
Imagine with me the world of politics as a gigantic chess
board. This New World Order Beast is coming into power, so for the N.W.O. to
truly rule the entire earth, the opponent’s chess pieces must either be
removed, taken out, or blocked from moving any further, if I understand the
game correctly (I am not a chess player). The pieces are moved around on the
board until all are in position and then “checkmate,” i.e. the total defeat of
the kings of the world so that we are all brought underneath this one world
government. And, that is what is going on presently. They will remove anyone
who stands in the way of their rise to power or who presents a threat to them
in any way. Many stories we read in the news, blamed on other people, are
really stories of the “Opponent’s chess pieces” being removed or blocked from
any further moves. And, this includes the murdering of Christians in an attempt
to halt the advancement of the gospel of Jesus Christ, but that is futile. As
well, they create stories to cover for their dirty work, even by blaming the
dead for acts they did not commit. This calls for much wisdom and spiritual
discernment.
Stand Firm
Therefore,
among God’s churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the
persecutions and trials you are enduring. All this is evidence that God’s
judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of
God, for which you are suffering. God is just: He will pay back trouble to
those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well.
This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire
with his powerful angels. He will punish those who do not know God and do not
obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting
destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of
his might on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be
marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you
believed our testimony to you. ~ 2 Thess. 1:4-10
For those of us who know Jesus, and who bare testimony to
the gospel of Jesus Christ, we need to be strong in the Lord and in his mighty
power, and put on the full armor of God daily with which to fight off Satan’s
evil attacks against us (See Eph. 6:10-20). We need to stand firm in our faith
and in our testimony for Christ and his gospel, and we need to hold on to the
teachings of the Word of Truth and the true gospel of our salvation. We do this
through yielding daily the control of our lives over to our Lord Jesus and his
Spirit within us, and we allow him to do his work in and through us for his
purposes and for his glory. He will give us all the encouragement and hope and
strength we need to endure, to persevere, and to never give up. No matter how
bad things get, the Lord will see us through. We just have to call upon him and
yield to his will for our lives, trusting him that he will work all things out
for all of our good – to make us holy, and for the furtherance of the gospel of
Christ so that many will be saved before the Lord returns.
If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and
you have bought into the lies and deceptions, and feel as though you can do
without him or you can just “get by,” then I pray you realize today that you
need Jesus Christ to save you from your sins, and I pray you will surrender
your life to him today, while you still have today. None of us ever knows if we
have tomorrow, but things truly are heating up, and time is running out. Don’t
wait until it is too late. Accept his gift of salvation today and give him your
all!
Unless You Are Born
Again
An Original Work / November 3, 2013
Based off John 3:1-21
Nicodemus came to
Jesus.
He acknowledged God
was with Him.
Jesus said, “You can’t
see heaven
Unless you are born
again.”
“How can a man be born
when he’s old?
Can he enter into his
mother’s womb?”
Jesus answered, “Flesh
is flesh,
So of the Spirit, you
must be.”
Jesus said to
Nicodemus,
“You’re a teacher, and
yet you don’t
Understand of what I
tell you,
Because you will not believe.
“For God so loved the
world that He gave
His one and His only
Son for your sin.
So, whoever believes
in Him
Has eternal life in
heav’n.
“Light has come into
the world,
But human beings love
the darkness,
Because their deeds
are so evil,
So in truth, they
stand condemned.
“Everyone who
practices evil
Fears that the Light
will expose his sin.
Yet, whoever lives his
life by the Light
Does so through his
God.”
