Strangers In A Land That Is No Longer Ours

According to a November 2015 Reuters Poll, a majority of Americans (53%) say that they feel like strangers in their own country....

I have to say when I read this headline, the Holy Spirit reminded me instantly of what He had spoken to my heart, back in the early 1990's. I had shared this with others in the organized church system at the time, and was scoffed at, and mocked.

What the Lord had me to share back at that time was that soon Americans would be strangers in a land that was no longer theirs, because of all the innocent blood that has been shed in our land, which is as child sacrifice was in Old Testament times.

As it is written:

And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours. Jeremiah 5:19

I was told at the time, that these scriptures, along with other scriptures that I shared out of Jeremiah chapter 7, in no way could be applied to America, then or at any time, that they were written to Israel.

I agreed, I did not argue that fact. All I told them was that the Lord had revealed to me that these scriptures could now be applied to America, because of all the

child sacrifice, by a Nation, that at that one time, did claim to be a Christian Nation.

And because the thing calling itself the church, for the most part, went about its daily business ignoring the deaths of the most innocent amongst them, not wanting to sully their reputation, face fines and possible jail time.

After all, they said, we were not to break the law by protesting.

What about God's law?

As it is written:

If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;

If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

Proverbs 24:11-12
Is it not written that Jesus said:

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it

not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. Matthew 25:45

America has been working especially hard these last 30 years, to remove God from the public arena. They have taken prayer out of schools, they have removed the 10 commandments from public places.

They have banned God in various places from even being mentioned.

What is worse there are those in the church who voted first for Clinton, (Bush wasn't much better, he is also a compromiser) and then years later they voted for Obama, they have asked for what they now have.

The church looked to Egypt for a king, for change, and they now have it.

What's more our Leader has publicly stated that America is not a Christian Nation.... and many people who call themselves Christians voted this man into office twice. Is it any wonder that our nation is becoming over run with the enemies of God?

This is an invasion of epic proportions, this is Satan's last attempt at world domination, for he knows his time is short. This will all lead to the Reign of the Anti-Christ.

And why is this invasion occurring?
Because we have pushed God out of our society, and He has turned us over to be reprobates and to commit every abomination under Heaven. Worst of all, it is all sanctioned, by our government and courts, and often by the thing calling itself the Church.

And we have tempted God to the point where He has opened our borders to His enemies, fearsome and dreadful warriors. Men and women who are led of Satan, the Father of all Liars, the Prince of Darkness, Death and Destruction.

Enemies who have no conscience, who are cruel and barbaric lovers of death.

We have Godless leaders and God is bringing our sins as a nation upon our own heads. And our nation is about to become something we won't even recognize.

You might ask,"Well do you think Donald Trump can save us, or Ted Cruz or Hilary Clinton?"

No, only God can save us, if we would be willing to humble ourselves and call upon Him and Repent and seek His face and turn from our wicked ways.

I believe that we are in for the greatest time of persecution Christians have ever known in America. Because I believe we are living in the Last Days.

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Part 7- The Son of Perdition, Overcomers and The Second Death-video transcript

As it is written:

Let no man DECEIVE you by ANY means: for THAT DAY shall NOT come, EXCEPT there come a FALLING AWAY first, and that MAN OF SIN be revealed, the SON OF PERDITON;


What Day is being spoken of here?

The Day of the Lord, the Day of Christ's return, THAT DAY!

What is the FALLING AWAY?

It is the Great Apostasy, the forsaking of the TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD, by those calling themselves Christians.

So THAT DAY, The Day of the Lord, Christ’s Return and the Resurrection is not going to occur, until the SON OF PERDITION is REVEALED.

Who is THE SON OF PERDITION?

SATAN in the ANTI-CHRIST.

Just as Satan took over the body of Judas to betray Jesus Christ, so shall he take over the body of The Anti-Christ.

As it is written (of the Anti-Christ):

Who opposeth and EXALTETH himself above all that is CALLED God, or that is WORSHIPPED; so that he AS God sitteth in the TEMPLE OF GOD, showing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

There are those who teach this is all "spiritual", that it is speaking of the Anti-Christ, Satan, sitting in the bodies of Christians, since our bodies are the Temple of God.

Satan can not dwell in the Spirit filled Temple of a Saint of God!


As it is written (of the Anti-Christ):

And IT WAS GIVEN TO HIM to MAKE WAR WITH THE SAINTS, and TO OVERCOME THEM: and power was given him over ALL KINDREDS, and TONGUES, and NATIONS.
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in THE BOOK OF LIFE of THE LAMB slain from the foundation of the world. Revelation 13:7-8

I BELIEVE THERE WILL BE A ONE WORLD LEADER

OF A ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT

BORN OUT OF A NEW WORLD ORDER

ORCHESTRATED BY SATAN TO FIGHT AGAINST GOD AND TO CONTROL THE EARTH’S POPULATION AND DESTROY THE SAINTS OF GOD.

HIS DESIRE IS TO HAVE THE WHOLE EARTH SUBMIT TO HIM.

BUT HE HAS NO POWER BUT THAT WHICH IS GIVEN HIM OF GOD.

JUST AS POWER WAS GIVEN HIM OVER JOB, SO SHALL IT BE GIVEN HIM OVER THE SAINTS .

Now if the saints mentioned here as being OVERCOME by the anti-Christ, are not part of Christ’s body, the church, then who are they?

As it is written:

And they OVERCAME “him” by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB, and by THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and THEY LOVED NOT THEIR LIVES UNTO THE DEATH. Revelation 12:11


It is written that they will reign a thousand years with Christ and have no part in the SECOND DEATH.

Is this not a privilege the body of Christ the "Church" claims for itself?

As it is written:


Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the SECOND DEATH hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Revelation 20:6


Not all shall die a martyrs death, for it is written that some will remain alive until the coming of the Lord, and they will be changed, they will die in an instant and obtain their immortal bodies. For this mortal must pout on immortality!

As it is written:


And as it is appointed unto men ONCE TO DIE, but after this the judgment:
Hebrews 9:27

People seem to stumble over the idea that their bodies must die, they can’t get past that, this is why this “theory” of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture came into being, for Satan said, “Thou shalt not surely die”.

Then through Adam, death came upon all men, then Life through Jesus Christ, Eternal Life not an escape from Death, via a Pre-Trib Rapture. To be absent from our bodies is to be present with the Lord.

Why should any Christian fear death?

As it is written:


For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.


<sup>2For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

3If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

4For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

5Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

6Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

9Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.</sup>
 10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 2 Corinthians5:1-10


In other words do not fear what man can do to you, do not fear death, rather fear God!

“HIS ELECT” includes the "tribulation saints". Jesus only comes unawares, "as a thief in the night", to those who are not looking for His appearing.

As it is written:

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Matthew 10:28

There is absolutely not one scripture where Jesus says He is coming in secret to take His “church” out of this world, before the Great Tribulation, not one, it is mere conjecture on man’s part, it is a theory, not a fact at all.

As it is written that Jesus said:


I pray not that thou shouldest take them OUT of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
John 17:15-16

No where in scripture does it say that luke warm “left behind” church goers, who are not worthy of a Pre-Trib rapture are to be cast head long into the Great Tribulation. Rather the scripture refers to luke warm Christians as “unprofitable servants” and it is written that they will be cast into outer darkness where there shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth......


Just to clarify the SECOND DEATH is for those who do not love God and who after the Thousand year reign and the following Great White Throne Judgment are cast into the Lake of Fire which is the Second Death.


As it is written:


And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.


<sup>12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is THE BOOK OF LIFE: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is THE SECOND DEATH.</sup>
15And whosoever was not found written in THE BOOK OF LIFE was cast into the LAKE OF FIRE. Revelation 20:11-15

Saints we need not fear death, we should be as the saints of Old and look forward with joy to the event. Those who meet Him in the air have glorified bodies, to get those bodies we have to die. Loosing ones fear of death brakes the bondage of Satan.

As it is written:


Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Hebrews 2:14-15

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Part 6-The Tribulation Saints

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Part 6-The Tribulation Saints -video Transcript

It is recorded that all but one of the original disciples of Jesus Christ were killed for the Word of God and their testimony, and they loved not their unto death.

They, followed in the footsteps of their Master, who loved not His own life unto death, for you and for me.

“OH!”, but the church of today exclaims, "That's not for us, we are not going to have to go through the tribulation, we are not going to have to be put on the spot, we are not going to have to give our lives for the gospel and the word of our testimony. That's for all those Luke warmers who are left behind, because they weren't' wise enough, or worthy enough, to make it in the Rapture.”

I'm sorry but I find that is the lamest claim of all.

All of a sudden the luke warmers who do not have the Holy Spirit are going to have the strength and courage, the Pre-tribbers don't have, and are going to be willing to give their lives for Christ, that which the Rapture ready crowd plan on escaping.

The "Tribulation Saints", are no different than the disciples of Jesus Christ, or the Martyrs of old as recorded in "Foxe's Book of Martyrs", or the martyrs of today in different parts of the world, as witnessed by the daily news.

“The Tribulation Saints” are a part of the body of Christ today, who are alive at the time of the Great Tribulation, and will be worthy of the FIRST RESURRECTION, (known by many as the "Rapture").

It is written:

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar THE SOULS OF THEM THAT WERE SLAIN FOR THE WORD OF GOD, and for the TESTIMONY which they held:

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, HOW LONG, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and AVENGE OUR BLOOD on them that dwell on the earth?

And WHITE ROBES were given unto EVERY ONE OF THEM; and it was said unto them, that they should REST yet for a little season,

..... UNTIL their FELLOWSERVANTS also and their BRETHREN, that should be KILLED AS THEY WERE, should be FULFILLED.

Revelation 6:9-11
So which group of saints are these under the altar?

Are they the "Tribulation Saints", or are their fellow servants and their brethren the "Tribulation Saints"?

These were questions that pierced my mind and soul, and kept me searching.

If they are the martyrs up until the time of the "pre-trib rapture", why are they told that they have to wait until their fellow servants and brethren, are martyred as they were?

To surmise that the saints who go through the tribulation and give their heads for Jesus are not worthy of "The Pre-Trib Rapture", is a ridiculously arrogant and scripturally ignorant statement.

It is written:


And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that LOSETH HIS LIFE life FOR MY SAKE shall find it. Matthew 10:38-39

The early saints, knew their reward, they counted all loss to follow Jesus Christ, they yearned to be absent from their bodies because they knew they would then be present with Christ. They had their hearts set on Him, not on things of this earth. They knew they had a mission on this earth and did not entangle themselves with the things of this world. They loved not their lives unto death. They weren’t looking for their “Best life now!”

When taking a stand to say that the" tribulation saints", are just as much a part of "The body of Christ" as the church of today, and who will remain alive at the time of the Great Tribulation, one is often accused of having a martyrs complex. Or a works based faith. Which makes as much sense, as accusing the disciples of being suicidal, because they would rather be absent from their bodies, and be present with the Lord.

The early disciples were exhorted by Jesus Himself, and were prepared to love not their lives unto death. They knew that He had risen and was ALIVE, and had an IMMORTAL BODY, and that as He is, so would they be in the last day, at the RESURRECTION of their mortal bodies. This was their BLESSED HOPE .

Ad it is written:

If we SUFFER, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 2 Timothy 2:12

Now the sad thing in this day and hour is, that "suffering" is an alien concept to the organized, apostate, luke warm, church system. The idea that the pampered "church" should have to even entertain the thought of suffering for their faith, is scoffed at.

Besides that, they have been taught that they will be "Raptured" out before any Great Tribulation even begins, and only those who wouldn't accept Jesus when the church was here, are appointed to suffer through the Great Tribulation.

And well that's their bad luck, they should have listened, now they will have to suffer, and prove that they are as worthy as us, the "Pre-trib Raptured saints". Should this be the mind set of any born again Christian?

Jesus said:

Remember the word that I said unto you, The SERVANT IS NOT GREATER than his LORD.
If they have PERSECUTED me, they will also PERSECUTE you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. John 15:20

It is written:

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer PERSECUTION.
2 Timothy 3:12

It was a given to the early church, that if they submitted themselves to Christ, and were committed "servants", they would surely suffer persecution, and in some cases even death.

As I child of God I knew that I was able to OVERCOME nothing without the power of the Holy Spirit in my life. Then I read this account of the tribulation saints and their reward.

It is written:

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and JUDGMENT WAS GIVEN UNTO THEM: and I saw the SOULS OF THEM that were BEHEADED for the WITNESS OF JESUS, and for THE WORD OF GOD,

..and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; AND THEY lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

But the rest of the dead lived not again until the THOUSAND YEARS were finished. "THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION".

BLESSED and HOLY is he that hath part in "THE FIRST RESURRECTION": on such the SECOND DEATH hath no power, but "THEY shall be PRIESTS OF GOD and of CHRIST, and shall REIGN WITH HIM A THOUSAND YEARS".
Revelation 20: 4-6

The "tribulation saints" are over comers, and full of the Holy Spirit, who enables them to stand, and therefore members of the body of Jesus Christ, they are a part of the church, and worthy of the "rapture" which will occur at His second coming!

As it is written:

He that hath an EAR, let him HEAR what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that OVERCOMETH will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.


He that hath an EAR, let him HEAR what the Spirit saith unto the churches;
Revelation 2:11

He that OVERCOMETH shall not be hurt of the SECOND DEATH.

Revelation 2:7

“OVERCOME” what?

And what is the SECOND DEATH?

These were other scriptures that pressed me to continue my study of this subject.

To be continued in Part 7
　

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Part 5-video Transcript

I am going to pick up where we left off in Part 4...

As it is written:
5Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.

<sup>6And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to THE END of these wonders?

7And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when “HE” shall have accomplished to SCATTER THE POWER OF THE HOLY PEOPLE, ALL THESE THINGS shall be *FINISHED.</sup>

Who is the "HE" referred to here? I believe it is referring to the Anti-Christ, or Satan in the Anti-Christ.. when he is given power to Overcome the saints of God.


<sup>8And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, WHAT SHALL BE *THE END OF THESE THINGS?

9And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till THE TIME OF THE END.

10Many shall be PURIFIED, and MADE WHITE, and TRIED; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

11</sup>And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the ABOMINATION that maketh DESOLATE set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. (3yrs 6months approx)


^{12Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. (3yrs 7months approx)}

13But go thou thy way till THE END be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at THE END OF THE DAYS. Daniel 12:5-13

Now there are some who teach that what Daniel referred to here, has already taken place, before the time of Christ. I do not believe that at all. I believe this is referring to End time events.

Now I believe we can see this same Abomination of Desolation, this same Anti-Christ spoken of here in Revelation.
　

As it is written:


<sup>5And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and BLASPHEMIES; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. (3years 6months approx)

6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7And it was given unto him to MAKE WAR WITH THE SAINTS, and to OVERCOME THEM: and POWER WAS GIVEN HIM over all kindreds, and tongues, and NATIONS.

8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are NOT written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

9If any man have an ear, let him hear. Revelation 13:5-9</sup>

Enoch also prophesied of the Second Coming of the Lord.

As it is written:

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, THE LORD COMETH with TEN THOUSANDS OF HIS SAINTS,

To execute JUDGMENT upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
Jude 1:14-15

I have had Pre-tribulation rapture believers say, “Well it is written that we are going to escape the tribulation, because we the body of Christ, the church, are found Worthy to escape."


As it is written:

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, *that ye may be accounted worthy to ESCAPE all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:34-36


*This scripture is commonly taught to be referring to a pre-tribulation rapture. But in it’s context, what is it speaking of escaping?

The snare of Satan & the wrath and judgments of God!

We are told to stay faithful to Jesus and the Word of God, then we will be sealed from God's wrath.

If you will read these scriptures in their context in Luke 21 you will see it is speaking of the time of Christ’s Second Coming not a Pre-Tribulation Rapture.

The problem with many is that they have trustingly believed doctrine that has been taught them by men for many years. Instead of doing what The Word tells us to do and that is study for ourselves. That we might rightly divide the Word of God.

Bits of scripture have been taken out of context to piece together a pre-tribulation rapture. Upon close examination the pieces just do not give a truthful picture of what is to take place at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

This next scripture is yet another Pre-Trib Rapture favorite..

As it is written:
And *when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Luke21:28


But Let us look at this scripture in it’s full context:

As it is written:

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until *THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES be fulfilled.

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars;

and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for THE POWERS of HEAVEN shall be SHAKEN.
And then shall they SEE the Son of man COMING in A CLOUD with power and great glory. Luke21:25-27

What is going on here?

1. Signs in the sun, moon and stars

2. Distress of Nations with perplexity

3. Men’s hearts are failing for fear of those things coming on the earth,

sounds like an on going time of Great Tribulation to me.

As it is written:

And *WHEN THESE THINGS "BEGIN" to come to pass, then LOOK UP, and lift up your heads; for your REDEMPTION draweth nigh. Luke21:28

As it is written:

So likewise ye, *when ye SEE these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Luke 21:31


Q.*So when are we to look up and lift up our heads?

Q. When are we to know that the kingdom of God is near at hand?

Q.*The Times of the Gentiles ... What does this mean?

“The fulfillment of the times of the Gentiles” I believe refers to the end of the period that God has dealt in mass with the Gentiles. It ends with the great falling away. It is the turning point when God I believe begins to deal with the Nation of Israel.

Just as God has always had salvation open to the Nation of Israel since the time of Christ, He has had a veil over their eyes as a whole until the time of the end, He I believe is about to lift that veil.

It will not mean that salvation will no longer be available for Gentiles. It just means that the Times of the mass salvation of Gentiles are over. It will then be Israel’s turn in mass to recognize and accept Jesus as their Messiah their Lord and Savior.

We I believe are in the midst of the Great Apostasy the Great Falling away from the TRUTH of the Word of God, in the predominantly Gentile “Church”. Thus it signals to me the urgency of the Day and Hour in which we are now living.

In Part 6 we will take a closer look at those "Tribulation Saints"...

　
　

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Part 5-the Anti-Christ & The Times of the Gentiles

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Part 4

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Part4-video transcript

The Mystery/The Trumpets/Judgment

We will be reiterating some scriptures in this video, because we are going to be concentrating on what "The Mystery/A Mystery" is.

We will also look at the "Last Trump" aspect of the Second Coming, and "The Judgment", and the time of Jacob’s Trouble.


Behold, I SHOW YOU A *MYSTERY; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be CHANGED,

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the LAST TRUMP: for the TRUMPET shall SOUND, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be CHANGED.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on IMMORTALITY.

So when this corruptible shall have put on INCORRUPTION, and this mortal shall have put on IMMORTALITY, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY.

O death, where is thy sting? O GRAVE WHERE IS THY VICTORY?
1 Corinthians 15:51-55

We see that Death is Destroyed at "Christ's Coming", it is swallowed up in Victory! This occurs at the end of the Great Tribulation, not at the point of a pre-tribulation rapture. These scriptures are clearly speaking of the RESURRECTION.

Now let us examine the scriptures in regards to the SEVENTH ANGEL which I believe is the angel who sounds THE LAST TRUMP, the last of the SEVEN TRUMPETS!

As it is written:

But in the days of the VOICE of *the SEVENTH angel, when he shall begin to *SOUND, the *MYSTERY of God should be FINISHED, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Revelation 10:7

It is written:

And *the SEVENTH ANGEL SOUNDED; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD ARE BECOME THE KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, and of HIS CHRIST; and he shall REIGN for ever and ever. Revelation 11:15

This is relating to the Second Coming after which the Millennial reign begins.



And I saw the SEVEN ANGELS which stood before God; and to them were given SEVEN TRUMPETS. Revelation 8:2

And the SEVEN ANGELS which had the SEVEN TRUMPETS prepared themselves to SOUND. Revelation 8:6

Now I have had pastors tell me that there are other trumpets, that relate to the Pre-Trib Rapture. But none produced the scriptures to back up their theory, because, simply put, they can't, because there are none!

As it is written:


Behold, I come as a THIEF. Blessed is he that WATCHETH, and keepeth his GARMENTS, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue ARMAGEDDON.

And the SEVENTH angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, IT IS DONE.
Revelation 16:15-17

How strange is it that the Lord is mentioned here as coming as a THIEF and we are told to keep our Garments, in the “context” of the gathering of the armies at ARMAGEDDON, if the saints are long gone in a Pre-trib Rapture?

It is written:


And the nations were angry, and thy WRATH is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be JUDGED, and that thou shouldest give REWARD unto thy servants the prophets, and to the SAINTS, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Revelation 11:18

It is written:

And, behold, I come QUICKLY; and my REWARD is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Revelation 22:12


The Lord revealed His Second Coming to Zechariah...

As it is written:


Then shall the LORD go forth, and FIGHT against those NATIONS, as when he fought in THE DAY OF BATTLE.

And HIS FEET SHALL STAND IN THAT DAY UPON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and THE MOUNT OF OLIVES SHALL CLEAVE IN THE MIDST THEREOF toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of THE MOUNTAIN SHALL REMOVE toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD MY GOD SHALL COME, and ALL THE SAINTS with thee.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:

But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
And the LORD shall be KING over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. Zechariah 14:3-9

This has to be speaking of prior and during the Millennial reign, because it speaks of the Lord “Coming with His Saints“. During the Millennial reign the Lord and His saints will be on the earth.

As it is written:


When the Son of man shall COME in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
And before him shall be gathered all NATIONS: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

Matthew 25:31-32


This scripture read in its context can't possibly be speaking of the Great White Throne Judgment, because that occurs after the Millennial reign, and Jesus Christ is already here on the earth at that time.

As it is written:


I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his APPEARING and his KINGDOM;
2 Timothy 4:1

Moses spoke of the Second coming of Jesus Christ.

As it is written:


And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.

And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and HE CAME WITH TEN THOUSANDS OF SAINTS: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words. Deuteronomy 33:1-3

The preceding scripture is referring to the future time of the Lords return and His following Thousand Year Reign.

Daniel speaks more than once of The Second Coming of Christ. These next scriptures may be a matter of unrest for:

1. Those who believe the Gentile body replaces the natural branches.

2. Those who believe all these things Daniel speaks of here, have already taken place, and we are already living in the time of Christ’s Millennial reign, and that Satan is already bound.

As it is written:


And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be *A TIME OF TROUBLE, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time *THY PEOPLE SHALL BE *DELIVERED, EVERY ONE that shall be FOUND WRITTEN IN *THE BOOK.
Is this “Time of Trouble” speaking of the TIME OF JACOBS TROUBLE, as recorded in Jeremiah 30:1-24?

Who are the “THY PEOPLE” referred to?

Who are the “DELIVERED” and delivered from what?

“THE BOOK” can only be referring to “THE BOOK OF LIFE“.



^{2And many of THEM THAT SLEEP IN THE DUST OF THE EARTH SHALL AWAKE, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.}
So here in verse 2 we see a RESURRECTION, do we not?



<sup>3And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.


4But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to *THE TIME OF THE END: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.</sup>

Daniel 12:1-4

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Part 3- video transcript

It is written:

Immediately *AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fFALL from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be SHAKEN:

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man COMING IN THE CLOUDS of Heaven with power and great glory.

And he shall send his angels with a *GREAT SOUND OF A TRUMPET, and they shall GATHER together *his ELECT from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matthew 24:29-31

Who are the elect?

Are we the blood brought saints of God not the elect?

As it is written, that Paul said :


Put on therefore, "AS the ELECT of God", holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Colossians 3:12

It is written:


For in those days shall be AFFLICTION, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

And except that the Lord had SHORTENED those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the ELECT’S sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath SHORTENED the days.

And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

For FALSE CHRISTS and FALSE PROPHETS shall rise, and shall show SIGNS and WONDERS, to SEDUCE, IF it were possible, even the ELECT.

But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

Mark 13:19-23

Are not these scriptures quoted freely as relating to the saints of God in this very day? So we can see in this last set of scriptures we the saints of God, are the Elect that are spoken of here.

Mark reiterates the same sequence of events as are written in Matthew 24:29-31 in his gospel.

As it is written:


But in those days, *AFTER THAT TRIBULATION, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

*And then shall they *SEE the Son of man COMING IN THE CLOUDS with great power and glory.


*And then shall he send his angels, and shall *GATHER together *his ELECT from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the *EARTH to the uttermost part of *heaven. Mark 13:24-27

Now if the Pre-trib Rapture has already occurred and the church is in heaven, why are the angels gathering the "ELECT", who we have established are the body of Christ, from the EARTH if they are all in Heaven already?

A continuous theme surrounding Christ's return is the fact that HE SHALL COME IN THE CLOUDS.


It is written:

Behold, HE COMETH WITH CLOUDS; and EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Revelation 1:7

Did the Angels of the Lord not promise those who witnessed His assent to Heaven, that He would come in the same manner as He left, that He would descended from the clouds?

As it is written:


And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Acts 1:9-11

Daniel had a vision of the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ..

As it is written:


I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like THE SON OF MAN CAME WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a KINGDOM, that all PEOPLE, NATIONS, and LANGUAGES, should serve him:

his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his KINGDOM that which shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:13-14

This Kingdom that Daniel is speaking of, is obviously to me, speaking of the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ on this earth.

And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and COMING IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN. Mark 14:62

Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and COMING IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN. Matthew 26:64

Job also testified to the second coming of Jesus Christ

As it is written:


For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. Job 19:24-26

Job knew in his soul he would one day be Resurrected and he would see his Redeemer, Jesus Christ, and he would see him in his Resurrected body!


It is written:

And to you who are troubled rest with us, when THE LORD JESUS SHALL BE REVEALED FROM HEAVEN with his mighty angels,

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

WHEN HE SHALL COME TO BE GLORIFIED IN HIS SAINTS, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10


　

When is Jesus coming to be Glorified in His saints, and how is he Glorified in His saints?

At, and through, the Promised Resurrection!

Even the Psalm of Asaph mentions the coming of the Lord to Gather His saints.

As it is written:


Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

GATHER MY SAINTS together unto me; THOSE THAT HAVE MAKE A COVENANT WITH ME BY SACRIFICE.

And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself.

Selah Psalm 50:3-6 (Romans 12:1 present your bodies a living sacrifice-Gil)

Saints I have learned of the Holy Spirit, as I mentioned in Part 2 of this series, that the sequence of events at the second coming of Christ, and what is known as the "Rapture", but is in fact the Resurrection, is not going to be a drawn out process. These events occur, as it is written "In the "Twinkling" of an eye at the "Last" Trump!" The Lord is going to come quickly, and He is going to do a quick work!



As it is written that Jesus said:

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Revelation 22:12



As it is written that Jesus said:

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20


As it is written:

IN A MOMENT, in the TWINKLING OF AN EYE, at the LAST TRUMP: for the TRUMPET shall SOUND, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be CHANGED. 1 Corinthians 15:52

In Part 4 I shall share what the Lord revealed to me in regards to "A MYSTERY" and I shall also share what He revealed to me about the "LAST TRUMP"











 

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Part 3

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Part 2

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Part 2 - video transcript

Having been saved in a Pentecostal church in 1980, and then over the years having been in the Assemblies of God the Pre-trib Rapture "theory" was treated as fact, yet when I read my Bible I could never find it in the scriptures.

I also remember being bombarded with Matthew 24:37-42, and told that this means we will be taken out, and the wicked will be left to go through the tribulation. This was not what I was reading and seeing by the Holy Spirit.

As it is written, that Jesus said:


But as the days of Noe (Noah) were, so shall also THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN be.

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark

And knew not until the flood came, and "TOOK" them all away; so shall also THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN be.

Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be "taken", and the other left.

Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be "taken", and the other left.

"Watch" therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come
Matthew 24:37-42

Let me ask you this question, who were the ones "Taken"?

Noah and his family, or the wicked?

In the English language “Taken” is a form of the word “Took" and the flood of Noah’s day “Took” the wicked away, not Noah and his family, they were kept by the provision of God upon the earth.

Then there are these scriptures in that same context..
As it is written that Jesus said, in Matthew 24:48-51
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he "LOOKETH" not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

And shall CUT HIM ASUNDER, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

So it does not say in verse 51, "And he shall be "left behind" to go through the Great tribulation." ?

It also says, if you will read Verse 47, which is addressing the faithful servants that when the Lord comes, He will make him ruler over all his goods.

　

As it is written that Jesus said:


Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
Matthew 24:47

If one is gone in a "Rapture" why would one have any goods to rule over? This is obviously addressing the saints who remain on the earth, and are alive at the return of Christ, and who are going to enter into the Thousand year reign on this earth.

Then I came upon scriptures like Matthew 13:30 that reinforced that at the time of the end when Jesus returns, it will be the wicked who are “Taken” first and bound into bundles to be burned, and the righteous left on the earth.

As it is written:

Let both grow together until THE HARVEST: and in "the time of HARVEST" I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together "first the tares", and bind them in bundles "to burn them": but gather the wheat into my barn Matthew 13:30

As we can clearly see here, the children of the kingdom are still here, on the earth, growing along side the children of the devil, they have not been “Raptured” out, they are growing together until the time of the end.

Then there is Matthew 13: 38-43..which shows even more clearly, as Jesus interprets scripture, that there is one second coming, one separation, one Harvest. Then we the children of God shall shine in His Kingdom, on this earth.

As it is written, that Jesus said:


The field is the world; "the good seed" are "the children of the kingdom"; but "the tares" are "the children of the wicked one"

The enemy that sowed them is the devil; "the HARVEST is the end of the world"; and the reapers are the angels

As therefore the tares are gathered and BURNED in the FIRE; so shall it be in the END of this world

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity

And shall cast them into a FURNACE of FIRE: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Matthew 13:38-43
This coincides with the following scriptures in Revelation...


As it is written;

And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. Revelation 14:15-16
Now I ask you if the "Pre-trib Rapture" has already taken place and the dead in Christ have already been resurrected, then how can you have yet another separation of the wheat and the tares, if the Church has already been removed?

Many of the pre-trib "Rapture theory" folks used to also say, that "He who letteth" in 2 Thessalonians 2:7 refers to the Holy Spirit, and when the "church" is "taken" in the "Rapture", the Holy Spirit leaves as well."

If that were true, how would the so called "left behind" bunch be saved, and how on earth would they have the strength, without the infilling of the Holy Spirit, to withstand the tribulation, let alone give their lives for Christ?

My concern is that those who have been taught a pre-trib rapture and who find themselves in the midst of the Great tribulation, will loose their faith in Jesus, thinking the Bible to be untrue, and buy what ever the Anti-Christ tries to sell them.

In the day, that Christ returns for His own, to resurrect them, to prepare them for all eternity, there is coming a Thousand year reign with our Lord on earth.

All deceased saints of all time shall be resurrected to receive their glorified bodies, and we which are alive and remain unto the second coming of Christ will be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the "Last" Trump...

As it is written:


Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

Behold, I show you a MYSTERY; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be CHANGED,

In a moment, in the TWINKLING OF AN EYE, at the LAST TRUMP: for the TRUMPET shall SOUND, and the dead shall be raised INCORRUPTIBLE, and we shall be CHANGED.

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory!
1 Corinthians 15:50-55

Jesus will bring the souls of the dead in Christ with Him when He returns, and He will unite their bodies and souls, as the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall be changed.

Ever notice how all Christians want to go to Heaven, but no one want to have to die to get there?

As it is written


And as it is appointed unto men once to DIE, but after this the judgment:

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that LOOK for him shall he appear the SECOND TIME without sin unto SALVATION.
Hebrews 1:27-28

So it doesn't say those who are LOOKING for Him will be TAKEN out and spared the Great Tribulation, it says they will see SALVATION, because there is only ONE Second Coming.

Do you know how fast the twinkling of an eye is? Well it has been scientifically measured to be one two hundredths of a second. God does a quick work in the end.

As it is written:


For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be MADE ALIVE.

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; *afterward THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S AT HIS COMING.

*Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

*The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1 Corinthians 15:22-26

There are still many more scriptures to cover on this subject so again please bear with me there will be a part 3 & 4.

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Part 1

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ Part 1 video transcript

In the midst of going through the written transcripts of parts 1 & 2 of this series, the Holy Spirit quickened to me that I was in error on a few things. We are never too old to learn saints and I do not want to lead any one into error.

Let ask you when does the NEW HEAVEN and the NEW EARTH come into being, before the Thousand year reign or after? So what are these following scriptures actually referring to? Christ's return before the Thousand year reign, or after?

It is written
But THE DAY OF THE LORD will come as a *THIEF in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a GREAT NOISE, and the elements shall MELT with FREVENT HEAT, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be BURNED UP.


Seeing then that all these things shall be DISSOLVED, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

LOOKING FOR and hasting unto the coming of THE DAY OF GOD, wherein the heavens being on FIRE shall be DISSOLVED, and the elements shall MELT with FERVENT HEAT?

Nevertheless we, according to his PROMISE, look for NEW HEAVENS and a NEW EARTH, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 2 Peter 3:10-13
I now believe that "THE DAY OF GOD" here, is referring to the time of the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT.

As it is written: (Revelation 20:11-12)


And I saw a GREAT WHITE THRONE, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before GOD; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.


Let me ask you if "The Day of the Lord" is to come like a *THIEF in the night (a favorite pre-trib rapture scripture) and the earth and the works there in are going to be burned up, who is going to be "left behind" to go through the Great Tribulation?

This scripture is still quoted to back the pre-trib "rapture" theory, that Jesus is coming like a "THIEF in the night" and take only his "church" out. It is going to be a "secret" coming they say and only the church will even know it is occurring.

However that is false assertion, and a false assumption and a gross twisting of scripture, because the event written of here takes place after the thousand year reign, as written of in the following scripture.

As it is written:


And I saw a NEW HEAVEN and a NEW EARTH: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Revelation 21:1

It was that little scripture that the Holy Spirit used to make me start doing some RE-thinking...

These and other scriptures were what got me questioning the pre-trib rapture theory when I was first saved.

One can not split the scriptures in half, and say, well the fist part is talking about the pre-trib rapture, and the other half is talking about when Jesus comes back a 2nd time, at the end of the tribulation on Judgment day! Well you just can't do that to this piece of scripture, that is not rightly dividing the Word of God.

What were these saints being told to "look for" ?

They were told to be looking for "The Day of God", and the New Heaven and the New Earth, not an escape from the Great Tribulation, that is to come upon all the earth.

Now this would have been a good place for the writer to say, "We according to His promise look for an escape from tribulation", but that is not what is written. These saints were awaiting the time of the promised, return of Christ, and their promised Resurrection, and the promised New Heaven and the New Earth.

Now here is another set of scriptures that refer to the Lord's return as a THIEF in the night....

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11


But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

For yourselves know perfectly that “THE DAY of the LORD” so cometh as a “THIEF” in the night.



For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then SUDDEN DESTRUCTION cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a THIEF.



Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, THE HOPE OF SALVATION.

For God hath not appointed us to WRATH, but to obtain SALVATION by our Lord Jesus Christ.

Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep (live or die), we should live together with him.

Wherefore COMFORT YOURSELVES together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

So our HOPE is in our SALVATION and CHRIST'S RETURN, not a pre-trib rapture, not an ESCAPE. We are not appointed to God's WRATH as it is written, that is what we escape, not the Great Tribulation.

What is our BLESSED HOPE? Is it a pre-trib "Rapture" or is it the return of Christ and our Resurrection?

What are we to be LOOKING for?


It is written:

For the grace of God that bringeth SALVATION hath appeared to all men,

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

LOOKING for that BLESSED HOPE, and the GLORIOUS APPEARING of the great GOD and our SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST.

Titus 2:11-13

What is our HOPE?

It is written;


1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

But I would not have you to be IGNORANT, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no HOPE.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and REMAIN unto THE COMING OF THE LORD shall not prevent them which are asleep

For the Lord himself shall DESCEND from heaven with a SHOUT, with the VOICE of the archangel, and with THE TRUMP of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.



Then we which are ALIVE and REMAIN shall be CAUGHT UP together with them in the CLOUDS, to meet the Lord in the AIR: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Wherefore COMFORT one another with THESE WORDS.

The words...*SHOUT and the *TRUMP of GOD! .. just didn't sound like a quiet, "secret" second coming, or "rapture", or "appearing", to me when I read these scriptures!

Is this speaking of a pre-tribulation "Rapture" or is this speaking of the end time RESURRECTION?

Is this Resurrection for the whole “Church” from its beginning to its end, at the RETURN OF CHRIST? Or is it just to be applied to the present day church?

Those who have died for their faith up until this present day, did not escape death. How much worse will the Great Tribulation be, than having to die for the gospel and the word of our testimony?

What of those who it is said, are too luke warm to go in the rapture?

Are they having to suffer unto death during the Great Tribulation in order to make them worthy to enter into the Glory of the Lord?

So far we not have not read one word of escaping tribulation. Not one word of an escape from "Great Tribulation" being our BLESSED HOPE. Because it's not. Our blessed Hope is Christ's return and that we be as He now is, at the time of the RESURRECTION.

If I haven't as yet, touched on your favorite Pre-Trib Rapture scripture, be patient with me, I will no doubt get to it, in Parts 2 or 3.

 

Face Book Problems

Well there is more than one way to skin a cat (apologies to my cat loving friends) ... Facebook for some unknown reason has blocked my account with them currently, and so subsequently I can not access my page for now.
When I try to submit a grievance for them blocking my account, they tell me it is not blocked, so I press on...
This is a work of one evil person, who needs to examine their heart. I have no clue why this has occurred, I have been on face book as "A Seed Sower" for some 6 or more years.

I pray that the Lord will lead my friends here to my blog, so that we may keep in touch, and I can still share what ever the Lord lays on my heart to encourage you and perhaps you will leave me a note of encouragement also.

If you click on the No comments at the bottom of this post you will be able to message me. If you contact my friends Judy Taylor or Jane Slaven Brown on face book they will work to get you my e-mail address, if you wish to contact me. Please pray that I can once again get back on face book to continue my contact with you all, and that I may be encouraged daily as I have been these last years, by you all.
God bless
Helen aka A Seed Sower.

Learn to let go! - A Testimony

Well I tell you saints, Satan does not want this small testimony out there, I have typed it out on Face book twice, and been frozen out, then bounced out, so let me tell you there is more than one way to pluck a duck.... so I thought, blog it, then post it to face book...

The Lord knows how to move on His saints, He knows us better than we know our selves, and He knows how to push our buttons, and guide and direct us in the way we should go, if we are willing to submit all, and launch out into the deep, and come out of our comfort zones.

I had no idea, that when the Lord moved me to have the cable TV cut off,  He had plans for that money.. and His plan was to provide the much needed braces for my grandson. For my face book friends this next part is a repeat, but bear with me...there is more after.

Saints, the Lord worked a miracle for our youngest grandson to get braces, which he really needed. I told the Doctor and his administrator when we went for the consultation today, that I had my cable TV cut off, so that we now would have more funds to put toward his braces, they asked me how much the cable bill was, and I told them.

I had initially been told by them, over the phone, that I would have to pay on the down payment (which was $1,700) for 6 months before they could even start, then it would be $213.00 month until they were paid off. Yes they knew Gideon's dad is in prison, and his mother died this year, from their dentist, who has offices next door. Well I know that the Lord moved on their hearts, because when they brought me the contract to sign, the payments were the price of my old monthly cable TV bill,  but they then said, "Would he like to get them on today?", I cried, and Gideon was just thrilled. Praise God, and both the Doctor and his administrator asked me to pray for them, and I shall, and I ask you all to pray for them as well. God is Faithful.

I had also testified to the Doctor and his assistant, why I had the cable TV cut off, because of all the evil garbage, and people pushing their own agendas, and how one network took of a clean show to put more trash on. All this was before they brought me the contract. 

Before I took Gideon to the appointment, I told him, in front of his friends, that "Today is just a consultation, you won't be able to get your braces for 6 months until Nanny has paid the down payment." They were all shocked when they asked Gideon to go back to get the braces on, while  both of his friends sat and watched, and they wanted to know how come? I told them that I would tell them all when we got out to the van, and I did and I told them all, and that it was a miracle of God.

I also want to add, that his older brother also needs braces, not aesthetically like Gideon does, but to help his jaw. Yet he gave up his opportunity to have braces, because he felt his little brother needed them more. I am also trusting that the Lord, and I have no idea how, but that God will make the way for Gabriel to get braces also in a couple of years, if we are all still here. The Lord knows, and He is truly our provider.

So saints, just submit to God, and trust Him to lead and guide you by His Holy Spirit, even when something is hard for you to let go of, let it go, God has such plans for His people, and we are the biggest hinderers to those plans most of the time. That is why He likens us to sheep!

I tell you I feel so good since I cut that ole cable TV off!

Come Out of Your Comfort Zone Saints - Time is growing short!

I had yet another of many visits with one in prison, yet more free than most, this weekend. I was sharing how I had taken the cable TV off, and how I initially felt similar to a drug addict, thinking how could I get on without it at night, what would I do.

I had started my TV addiction years ago, when I first came to America and got my first glimpse of color TV, and was fascinated by that and the fact that it was on from morning to night. It became my company, as my husband was in the navy and gone a lot, and I was without friends or family in a strange country. I enjoyed all the game shows back then, and eventually started to watch soap operas. All the celebrities, on the TV back then helped keep me company, and fill long empty days and numb my loneliness and pain.

After I got saved I gave up watching soap operas, but would watch some talk shows, which I also eventually gave up, along with the game shows. I had, over the years weaned myself to only watching the idiot box at night. I enjoyed certain home renovation shows, some reality shows, and certain fox news shows, as a form of relaxation, when my over worked brain was at it's weakest, and I just wanted to chillax.

One reality show I used to watch, was 19 kids and counting, until TLC took it off the air, due an act of pure hypocritical, liberal pressure, an act of total cowardice on the part of TLC, who will put other totally degenerate shows on the air. God allowed me to be so incensed, that I called the cable company and told them to remove TLC from my cable line up. They said, they couldn't, without taking off channels I liked, so I told them, "Oh ok then, just take it all off and leave me my internet".

My husband is still waiting to see if I am going to call the cable company back, and get them to turn it back on. Someone else is observing to see if I am going to cave, or if I am going to trust Him and be willing to come out of my "Comfort Zone".

As I shared with the one in prison this weekend, he told me of his similar experience, yet in another area of his life. Years ago, he had, had to have surgery on both of his knees for torn ligaments, and had to have his meniscus replaced. He still, after that, suffered a lot of discomfort.

When he initially went to prison, he prayed, and asked the Lord to heal his knees, and since that time he had exercised often, walking and even running a mile at a time, with a small amount of pain involved. That small amount of pain however, gave him enough fear, and doubt, to cause him to not over do, and try to run further than that one mile at a time. Until one day he asked God, "Lord did you really heal my legs?",  and the Lord said to him,
"Get out of your "Comfort Zone" and run"
That same day he ran 3 miles, now he runs 12 to 15 miles per week. He has gone from his initial 268lbs down to his current 197lbs, all by stepping out of his comfort Zone. It took taking his eyes off that small discomfort, and trusting that the Lord had done what He said He would do.

He reminded me of the incident of Peter and his walking on the water, how his " Comfort Zone" was  that boat, and how the Lord wanted Him to trust Him, and how Peter asked, is that really you Lord ..

As it is written:
Matthew 14:22-33
 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 
²³And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 
²⁴But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 
²⁵And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 
²⁶And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 
²⁷But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 
²⁸And Peter answered him and said, "Lord, "if" it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water". 
²⁹And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 
³⁰But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 
³¹And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 
³²And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. 
³³Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Saints we are living in an evil day, and the Lord is going to deal with us to come further out of our comfort zones, as the day of His appearing draws ever nearer. We must all be willing to give up everything the Lord wants us to forsake, and be totally submitted to Him. We must be prepared spiritually for what is to come, and detach ourselves from the world, and the things of the world now, before it is all taken anyway. For that day is coming!

A man of Peace with 7 Abominations in his heart.

A Man of Peace with 7 Abominations in his heart. -video transcript.
I have often been asked, if I believe that Barack Hussein Obama is the Anti-Christ. All I can do is share with you what the Lord has revealed to me about Obama, whether or not he is the Anti-Christ, I am waiting like the rest of the world to see. 

Back in February of 2008, before Obama was elected, which I documented on my blog at the time, the Lord placed a word into my mind and it was this..

“And he shall come as a man of peace, with seven abominations in his heart.”

As is my custom I went first to the Word of God, to see if this was of the Lord.
I was figuring what’s the odds, first I typed into my Bible program, “Man of Peace”, and no such string of words came up. Yes I am as thick as a barn door, then I thought well let’s me try this, thinking I was off base, “seven abominations”…and bingo! Praise His Holy Name… Glory to God, He truly knows the hearts of men and women, and He knows how to speak to His children, and this is what I read in the scripture....

Proverbs 26:24-28
24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

What does it mean to "Dissemble" with ones lips?
It means to DECEIVE verbally.

25 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are SEVEN ABOMINATIONS IN HIS HEART.

26 WHOSE HATRED IS COVERED BY DECEIT, his wickedness shall be showed before the whole congregation.
27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

At the time I received this word, I was not about to declare it a prophesy. I am very careful not to assume things of God, but I did, as I said, do a blog on it, and share it. Just so that it might be documented.

As the years have passed, and certain events have taken place, God has made it more clear, and evident to me, that this was a prophetic word. He has given this type of revelation, in regards to Obama, to many of His children.

One of the most profound confirmations I received was when a dear saint brought to my attention that Obama had received the Nobel Peace prize before he ever entered His Office as president. Actually he received it 8 months after he became president.

I was asked the other day as I was sharing this testimony if I believed that Obama still met the criteria for the seven abominations. Well let’s look at what is written....

Proverbs 6:12-19
12. A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
13. He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

What is the meaning of Froward?

It means perverse, which means, obstinately or unreasonably wrong; refusing to do the right, or admit to error; self willed.

14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

Frowardness can mean refractory, which means; sullen or perverse in opposition or disobedience.

We know by his fruit, by his actions and by his bold words that the man is in opposition to the laws of Almighty God.

He illuminated the front of the White House in the shades of the rainbow, to celebrate the supposed Victory over Homosexual Marriage.
16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and HE THAT SOWETH DISCORD AMONG BRETHREN.

Brethren; means members of the same society or profession. Innocent blood, well the most innocent blood shed in the earth is that of babies who are murdered for convenience sake, and it is called ABORTION. This President has asked God to "bless" the largest ABORTION provider in the nation, Planned Parenthood.

I listened again the other day to a video, that records the democratic party, 3 times saying no to God, that they didn’t want God as a part of their party.

Well America cried for change, and he promised a change we could believe in.

I wonder now how many people out there are having second thoughts about this Obama.

He has not stood publicly for the Lord Jesus Christ, but he has stood publicly for Islam, and he has stated that, “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” Makes you wonder about what is in his heart!

And the fact that he is doing next to nothing about the Islamic terror group ISIS, who have wholesalely and wholly obliterated hundreds of people who claim to be Christians, overseas. How long before he allows them to come in here, or he himself makes laws that will put Christians in danger.

There is an old saying, that if it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, 9 times out of 10 it's a duck. (I show a couple of photo’s of Obama with the “Rev”Jessse Jackson, the “Rev” Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, There is a caption on one of the photos that says, “These three race baiters have done more to hurt Black people, than any white person ever could. They have set race relations back 50 years.” Another caption reads, “The real “Sons of Anarchy, dividing America since 1964.”

There is another saying, that I grew up with and it’s this one, “Show me your friends, and I will tell you what you are!”

God hates:

The Proud.
Those who lie.
Those who cause the shedding of innocent blood. (Which would include Abortion)
He hates those whose hearts & minds devise wicked things and bring them to pass.
Those who bare witness falsely and purposely seek to create a lack of agreement or harmony, between peoples, and who instigate quarreling and conflict.
And those who take pleasure in causing misfortune, hardship and distress.

Does Obama live up to all 7 of these abominations that God hates?
Absolutely, positively, unequivocally, most certainly, beyond a shadow of a doubt. YES! In closing please take the time to read Daniel 8:23-25, and ask yourself: Has Obama caused the death of many of God's people by his policies of Peace, has he lifted himself us in his heart, has he stood against the Prince of Princes? If he is not “the” Anti-Christ, he certainly can be numbered amongst the many other Anti-Christ’s in the earth.



  
  

  

 

We can thank God in all these things, because it is helping to separate the sheep from the goats, for the ones who hate God can be clearly identified, even amongst those who call themselves Christians.
