Just a few days until we move now. Excited, and overwhelmed...trying to keep everything in stride.
We can get wrapped up in our own little worlds, and it is restful, calming, and reassuring to do that. It isn't real, though.
Keeping perspective on the world, the future, the way things really are, is unattractive when it looks so bleak!
Politics can make you retch. Earthquakes, volcanoes, storms, and poisonings in nature (think bees here) really get you down, ya know? Riots in American cities can be so depressing...
But keep your eyes open, because it's all coming together.
Don't get too tired to keep the watch. I know I'm weary, tired, very tired of this old world.
Jesus talked more about hell than he did about heaven. Someone counted his references to both places once, apparently, and I've heard that several times, so I assume it is true. Maybe I should do a count for myself sometime.
If there is time.
Hell is very real. Lots of people are going there. Some will avoid it painfully by rejecting the Anti-Christ. That pain is minor compared to eternal hell.
Hell is awful. Here's what the Bible says about it: flames, never-ending pain, worms, darkness, stench.
When you make up your own gods (the ones that aren't mentioned in the Bible--and you know that if you define God in your own image, the things you like about Him, but not the things you hate, you have an idol on your hands) you are going to Hell after this life. This is what the Bible says, and the Bible is truth. TRUTH.
It's not a lie. It's not a myth. The Bible's prophetic predictions are always 100% true and coming to pass. We know. We saw it, we are seeing it, and we will see it. But back to hell---
I think this life is bad enough, and I've had it pretty easy! Hell sounds beyond horrible to me, and I want to BE SURE I don't have to face it.
Sadly, everyone is going there according to the Bible, except those that believe Jesus' blood was shed on the cross, a sacrifice for our sin. The entire world is condemned to hell, and has been since the fall of man. Born in sin, we desire to rebel against God. It's natural.
Pray to receive spiritual eyes, and be humble enough to admit you are wrong to Jesus. Pray for His wisdom and guidance to see the path to salvation.
Don't risk your eternal soul. You have one chance to live---one chance to die. Don't waste it when you know the Truth.
Start believing today.
So many things will come into focus-----Anger, Lust, Pride, Envy, Greed, Gluttony, Sloth. Immorality. You will recognize what God sees as immorality. Paul described the scales falling off of his eyes when his life was touched by Jesus. I think this may have been figurative as well as literal. When God opens spiritual eyes it is like blindness fading away.
But if you are living in immorality, don't expect to see Heaven. Expect Hell. People who have spiritual eyes don't live in sin. They live in Christ---"abiding in him, as He is in you."
REPENT, for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
I was thinking back to all the posts I've made over the past five years. Truly I never expected to be around this long! I thought Jesus would have been here by now. Certainly He is not late---only waiting patiently for every last soul to turn to Him, and He is infinitely patient, waiting for YOU if you haven't come to Him yet. All these posts I've written, pleading for friends and family to come to CHRIST! How I hope that I can see you at the Banquet in Heaven with our LORD.
Rapture tomorrow? Let's expect it. Rapture this fall? Let's wait for it. Rapture when God decides? Absolutely. It's coming. It's almost here. Blissful hope.
We're outta here....
We're ready, Lord!
Come quickly. Maranatha!
