An On-Going Saga That Daily Picks Up Steam!

“I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling.  Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem.  On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against here, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations.  All who try to move will injure themselves” (Zechariah 12:2-3)

Hey Gang, Remember Jesus words, when the world looks like it is in a blender and being torn from the east to the west, it is not time to be discouraged, (Gramps Rendition). Jesus made it abundantly clear that His children are not to become despondent but “…look up because your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:28). 

Never before have we been closer to this point in history, where all the nations of the world have the seeds within them to turn against the Apple of God’s eye. If there were a Doom’s Day Clock mounted on ‘Times Square’, it would read within seconds of tolling its final doom for this earth as we know it.

Never before, in the history of mankind have we had the mass weapons that can annihilate every living soul on planet earth many times over.  And, not only do we have such weapons for mass killing, but we are not satisfied; nations are in a frantic race to build even bigger and more sadistic killing devices!

And, as the news continues to tell us daily, there are heartless, sadistic-minded people in our world who are itching to press the triggers of these killing devices.  In Matthew 24:22 we read the tragic warning from the lips of Jesus: “Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short”.

Satan is in a final battle and he knows it.  As we read above, he is already mortally wounded and at the mercy of God, as to when the word will go out for the angel of Revelation 20 - with chain in hand - to roll and put the scoundrel of all time in the pit where he belongs.   I believe there will be rejoicing in the heavenlies as the choir sings a chorus of Hallelujah’s to Our Lord and King, on that day.

 The enemy knows the Scriptures very well and knows he lives under the fulfillment of a death sentence!   He knows there is a place already prepared for him and his minions- the Lake of Fire - which burns with fire and brimstone.  In a sense he is battling not only to prevent his death sentence from be carried out, but also that his quest to replace God as God will have gone up in fire and brimstone.

Paul, in his letter to his adopted spiritual son, Timothy, said: “Realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come”.  (2 Tim 1:1).   My dear friends and family, we can change Paul’s words now to “Difficult times are here”.  If there was ever a time when we need to be locked into Jesus as Lord and Savior, it is now,  Again, returning to the words of Jesus: “To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it” (Rev. 2:17).

So, my young friends, are you locked and loaded with Jesus as Lord of your life?   Jesus warned: that “When I come, I will come quickly.”  No press releases. No news headlines. in the twinkling of the eye, it will be finished.    Again, I ask, are you lock and loaded with Jesus as Lord of your life?

Blessings,
