The Rapture Force

So many people find themselves believing that the day of the Lord is different from the day of the rapture. But they are one and the same. There is biblically only one return of Jesus, one second coming. One plus one do not make three, and nowhere in the word do we find this secret coming of the Lord for His bride. When the bride groom comes for his bride, it is always with much fanfare. There will be no difference when Christ comes for His bride. It will be preceded by a Trumpet blast and a loud shout from the archangel.

I know what your thinking you who find it hard to understand that God would have you go through trials and tribulations. The verse your thinking of is the one about the thief in the knight. 1Thess 5:2 and also 2Peter 3:10 both state the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. So now let us examine that. We know the day of the Lord is also called the last day. How do people equate this verse with a pre tribulation rapture?

There are 35 books of the bible that speak of this day, the day of the Lord. It is the most important topic of prophecies. It is the most talked about of all prophecies through the prophets. The day of the Lords revenge. Yet our churches barely ever, if ever touch on this subject. The reason being that people only ever want to hear the good stuff. They do not want to hear that there is punishment, and pastors of this day and age are only too willing to comply.

Now the next and probably bigger reason why the Day of the Lord is not preached is because it conflicts with the pre- and mid-tribulation rapture views.  That is because the Rapture happens after the great tribulation and on the Last Day of this Age…which is the Day of the Lord!  Jesus, our Lord and Savior, says this in His conversation of the end-times in Matthew 24…that He will come after the tribulation and on the Last Day of this Age.   He says in verses 21- 31: “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

Then if any man shall say to you, ‘Look, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.  For there shall arise false christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.  Behold, I have told you before.   Therefore if they shall say to you, ‘Look, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.  For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.  For wherever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.”

Read very carefully as Jesus continues, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall 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 [same trumpet of 1 Cor. 15:52; 1 Thes. 4:16,17 and Rev. 11:15-18 where the seventh angel sounded the seventh and last trumpet], and they shall gather together his elect [the Rapture] from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”  Here is the order of events from Jesus in Mt. 24 -  greatest tribulation ever , then the heavenly signs of Joel and Peter (and the rest of the prophets), then His coming in the clouds, then the last trumpet, then the Rapture on the Last Day which is the Day of the Lord.

I want to give you a better understanding of this, so let’s go into another explanation and this is the first resurrection. Compared to the last. This is a much longer part. The whole reason I have to break this down is because it is going to be a huge article, and I do not want to bore you or lose you. So after this section I will end this one, and post it and go on to the next part.The next part will list all the verses or as many as I can possibly find that speak of the day of the Lord. Also above I did not mention Revelation chapter 14 but it is a huge huge part, of understanding the rapture is a last day rapture. We see the rapture in chapter 14.

Daniel realized in his vision in Daniel 12:2 that “many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt”, only he did not receive details on it.  Paul told us in Acts 24:15 “that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust”, only he didn’t know it was two different resurrections.  Jesus talked about two resurrections in John 5:28-29 when he said, “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his [i.e. the Son of Man] voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation”, only He did not tell us that there was a time span between the two and how long it was.

But thank God for John’s revelation by vision where he is told definitely that there are two resurrections separated by 1000 years in Rev. 20:1- “And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: 4 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 worshiped 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.  5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.  This is the first resurrection.  6 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.   7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison.”

Some people believe the “second death” is an allusion to annihilation, but this is not the case as we shall see.  Even though the phrase “second resurrection” does not appear in this passage, it is obvious that if there is a first resurrection, there must be at least one other resurrection, or “first”, misleads us to a wrong conclusion.  The second resurrection is rather referred to as the “second death” instead to reflect its nature as being unto death rather than to life.  If it were only eternal unconsciousness or annihilation, there would be no need to have a resurrection of the body just to destroy it totally and instantaneously, and there would be no such thing as a first resurrection!

Furthermore, in Rev.19:20, 20:7, 10 we read, “And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who performed miracles before him, with which he deceived them who had received the mark of the beast, and those who worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone…And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison…And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”  We discover, that after 1000 years of being tormented in the lake of fire, the beast and false prophet are still being “tormented day and night for ever and ever”!  So much for any annihilation views!

Rev. 20:11-15 goes on to say that at the conclusion of the thousand years those not in the Book of Life were cast into the lake of fire which is the “second death”.  No wonder that “blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection” in verse 6!The Word of God makes it clear that the Rapture can not be a pre-trib event.  Here’s how it does.  Pre-trib Christians will say that there is a resurrection of the saved at the start of the 7 years and a resurrection of those saved during the 7 years at the end of the 7 years, but the Word says there is only ONE First Resurrection unto eternal life, for if there were more than one resurrection unto eternal life , then the Second Resurrection would not be unto eternal death!

And if there is only ONE First Resurrection, 1 Thes. 4:16 tells us when it will be: “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.  17 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.”"The dead in Christ shall rise first” is the First Resurrection, and “then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up” is the Rapture.  Do you see it?  The dead rise; then the living are caught up.  First is Resurrection, then is the Rapture.

Now Rev. 20:4 says, “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 worshiped 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.”Those who were killed through the Tribulation were raised in the First Resurrection to reign a thousand years.  So they had to be raised after the last Tribulation saints were murdered.  Now if the Rapture, according to 1Thes. 4:16,17, follows the Resurrection, then we have undeniable proof that the Rapture necessarily has to follow the First Resurrection after the death of the last Tribulation martyr has been murdered!  What could be simpler.

Just as no one knew that almost 5 centuries of time came between Daniel’s 1st and 69th weeks (of years) in Dan. 9:24-27 and maybe some 20 centuries between the 69th and 70th, so no one knew before John’s vision that one thousand years would come between the First Resurrection (of the “just” and “good”) and the Second Resurrection (of the “unjust” and “evil”).

The serious end-time student should be able to read between the lines when the point is made here.  Look at I Cor. 15:20-28 – “But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept.  For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. [1000 thousand year break here] Then comes 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.   For he has put all things under his feet. But when he says all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.   And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.”

Some confusion has come into the minds of some people because they didn’t see a break in time between verses 23 and 24 where the two sections necessarily deal with events on both sides of a period of reign…and Rev. 20 tells us that Christ and the redeemed reign for 1000 years, rebellion is done away at the end of the 1000 years, death is done away with, and gives the details of this period of reign and who will reign with Him and the duration of that reign!

2 Peter 3:7-13 – “But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  [could this preceding verse be alluding twice to the thousand years and it connecting with one day - the Day of the Lord?]

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night [1000 year break] in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent 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 [1000 year break repeated again in this summary], 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 dwells righteousness.”   Again, note that according to Rev. 20:7-11, fire coming down upon the earth from heaven, the old earth fleeing away happen after the 1000 years are over.

Hopefully, enough has been said to show that the Day of the Lord occurs at the end of the Age. It is a time to judge the world, for God to contend with the nations and for the Lord Jesus Christ to come, take up His rule along with the saints of God. For the Millennial earth to glorify God in the way He intended it back in the beginning before sin came into the world, through Adam and Eve. Part two follows this one. God Bless and watch over you all  in all ways. In Christ Jesus, Tammy

The scientists of this day and age say that we, Man, have caused the issues that are making our earth go crazy. I say not so. You see the science of today is not truth. The science of yester year speaks of a whole different thing. When I was going to school we were taught that God put us here,and that God made the trees,make oxygen to feed us,and our carbon dioxide that we expel, with our every outward breath,feeds the trees what they need. It has been proven by a wonderful scientist of meteorology, at MIT, Richard S Lindzen, that global warming is nothing to us. That trees actually flourish in a rich carbon dioxide atmosphere. Plants need it to grow well, and they need heat to grow well.

Here is the paper he did on it. http://www.cato.org/pubs/regulation/regv15n2/reg15n2g.html

So a little extra heat does not hurt anything,especially not the planet. It is actually good for it. And the degrees it has gone up at all,has been so minuscule as to be of no effect to anything. Least of all the ice in the arctic regions. Such as the North pole,and the south pole.

No my friends,our planets problem are the result of the sin that is on it. Remember that the earth is under the curse of sin. Not only did man fall with Adam’s sin but the earth itself was affected. The Bible says that the world “groans and labors in birth pangs” (Ro. 8:22). The result is the actual shifting of the earth that produces natural disasters. The fact is, our planet is not yet restored. We look toward Christ’s coming rule, when there will be “new heavens and a new earth” (2 Pe. 3:13).

By the time the Millennial kingdom comes,where Christ will rule,and we who have been called His own have been changed into immortal beings without sin, The bible tells us in Revelation,that every mountain will be not one mountain left,and not one island will be found in the seas. Revelation 16:20 And every island disappeared, and all the mountains were leveled. This is due to a world wide earth quake. The quakes we are seeing now,is merely the beginning. There are much much more to come,and each getting worse than the last. Imagine the biggest quake ever recorded in 1960,was in Chile and it was a 9.5 magnitude. That had to have been absolutely crazy.

Here are the statistics gathered in the parts of the earth that were affected by this particular earth quake. Approximately 1,655 killed, 3,000 injured, 2,000,000 homeless, and $550 million damage in southern Chile; tsunami caused 61 deaths, $75 million damage in Hawaii; 138 deaths and $50 million damage in Japan; 32 dead and missing in the Philippines; and $500,000 damage to the west coast of the United States.

But the ones that are going to be coming, will be bigger, and more places will get them, until the world wide quake, that is just before the day of the Lord. There is one earthquake that speaks of every mountain being moved out of it’s place, and every island being moved out of it’s place. Not gone, just removed from their natural place. That is Revelation 6:14 at the 6th seal being opened. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

Why does God allow natural disasters in the world like earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, typhoons, landslides and other natural disasters? The end of 2004 Asian tsunami, Hurricane Katrina in 2005 in south-eastern United States of America, and landslides in the Philippines in 2006 forced many people to doubt God’s goodness. Sadly, those natural disasters are often called action of God, but never of grace to God not for years, decades or even centuries of peaceful weather. God created the universe and the laws of nature (Genesis 1:1). Most natural disasters are a result of these laws. Hurricanes, typhoons, and tornadoes are the result of different weather conditions. Earthquakes are the result of changes in the crust of the earth. Tsunami problems caused by an undersea earthquake.

The Bible proclaims that Jesus Christ has authority over all of nature (Colossians 1:16-17). Could God prevent natural disasters? Absolutely! Does God sometimes influence the weather? Yes, see Deuteronomy 11:17 and James 5:17. Does God sometimes cause natural disasters, as punishment for sin? Yes, see Numbers 16:30-34. The Book of Revelation describes the many events that could be called specifically as acts of God (Revelation chapters 6, 8 and 16).Is every disaster a punishment from God? Absolutely not.

But Revelation chapters 6-14 are not God’s wrath. I do not want you to be confused about that.Revelation 11:18 says The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name, both small and great–and for destroying those who destroy the earth.” That does not say before the tribulation comes I will remove you. No to me, that says, after the seventh trumpet has sounded, then it is time to reward and judge your servants. I will explain this more in other articles to come. For now please do not be afraid to study and learn for yourselves all of this,always praying for the Holy Spirit to give you eyes to see, and ears to hear what the Spirit says is the truth.

In the same way as God allows evil people to commit acts of evil, God gives the land to show the effects of sin on creation. Romans 8:19-21 tells us, “For the creature looks forward to revealing of the sons of God, 20 because of that the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by the will of him who subjected it, in hopes 21 because the creature itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of God’s children . The fall of humanity affect everything including the universe in which we live. Sin is the ultimate cause of natural disasters, as well as the cause of death, disease and suffering.

So we are back where we started. We can understand why there are disasters. The fact that we do not understand is why God allows them to take place. Why does God allow 225,000 people die in Asia? Why did God allow Hurricane Katrina to destroy the homes of hundreds of thousands of people? We know that God is good! Many amazing wonders in cases of natural disasters have taken place – to prevent further deaths. Natural disasters are the cause of millions of people to reconsider their priorities in life. Hundreds of millions of dollars sent to help people who suffer. Christian organizations have the opportunity to help, serve, and pray – and to bring people to faith in Christ! God can, and does extract good out of terrible tragedies (Romans 8:28).

Those who wish to not believe in God and the bible,are the ones who just keep piling on the lies. Saying that well since there is no God we the people of this planet must be the cause of the natural disasters. Scientists who are also believers in God are shunned to the point of being black balled from jobs, and even ridiculed right out of their professions. God himself said all these things would come to pass, and here we are in the thick of things.

The planet was not meant to last for eternity. It is going to be cleaned up and very beautiful during the thousand years reign of Christ. But then God’s plan is to burn it all up after the judgment, and make a brand new earth. We do not owe the earth anything. It is not our object of worship. God is!!

2Pe 3:7,10-12: “But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist have been stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men… But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up. Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire!”

“Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy. I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more” (Isa 65:17-19). See we have a new Heaven and a new earth. I personally think the heavens Peter refers to, is the first heaven, that being the atmosphere around the earth that protects it. I hope that most of you know already that there are three levels to the heavens.

In closing all you who believe in God, and believe the word to be absolute truth,cannot in good conscience believe what earthly leaders are telling you. There is no such thing as global warming to the nth degree our world leaders would have you believe. Our world is not being harmed by us, and or anything we are doing. We cannot save this planet. If we believed what the world leaders are telling us,and we really were to make a difference at all,we would have to stop driving cars. Stop using electricity,we would have to stop doing anything at all other than farming, and even then the experts who believe in this bunk, still insist we could not change anything, after 100 years of not using any of the earths resources, that God Himself put here for our use and consumption.

Don’t be fooled you of God’s children. This is a huge lie to put ownership on you and your children. This is a disgusting power grab,a way for them to gain control of us all. Let us not make it so easy on them to take us over. Let us pray for wisdom and knowledge to be given us. Let us study our words to show ourselves approved. There is coming a day and it is not so far away where it is going to be impossible to read the word of the Lord and the Lord tells us a few different places in the bible,that there is a famine for the word coming.I personally am going to be hiding away some bibles in different spots,in as many different areas as I possibly can. I have one of the verses I spoke of above here for you. here for you.

Amos 8:10 I will turn your religious feasts into mourning and all your singing into weeping. I will make all of you wear sackcloth and shave your heads. I will make that time like mourning for an only son and the end of it like a bitter day. 11″The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign LORD, “when I will send a famine through the land– not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD. 12Men will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the LORD, but they will not find it.

May the good Lord watch over you and protect ,you and your families. May He fill you with desire to know His word,and be prepared for all that is coming upon this earth.
Love in Christ Jesus,Tammy

In the times of great turmoil,trouble and tribulation,that are coming upon the earth. We see many of the same plagues God used in Egypt, to convince Pharaoh to let God’s people go, are also going be used in our time, against the beast system of government and the antichrist, and his followers. We can see in the book of Exodus, that the people of God were living in a situation of terrible oppression and slavery. At that time there was a program of government sanctioned genocide. With that system in place and working, the people of Israel were going to be destroyed. It was impossible to live under the Egyptian rule. Of course we will see the same kind of situation for God’s people in the last days.

Many of the same things that happened in Egypt will be happening here, such as,bloody waters,raining hail mixed with fire,locusts which will be completely different than the plague of locusts used in Egypt. These locusts will come from the pits of hell upon the earth and look like no other bug ever seen on this earth and they will not harm the grass or trees but only the people who worship the antichrist.

These locusts will look like, well here let me show you according to the bible,it is crazy!Revelation 9:1-11 (.1 Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen to earth from the sky, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. 2 When he opened it, smoke poured out as though from a huge furnace, and the sunlight and air turned dark from the smoke.

3 Then locusts came from the smoke and descended on the earth, and they were given power to sting like scorpions. 4 They were told not to harm the grass or plants or trees, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were told not to kill them but to torture them for five months with pain like the pain of a scorpion sting. 6 In those days people will seek death but will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them!

7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. They had what looked like gold crowns on their heads, and their faces looked like human faces. 8 They had hair like women’s hair and teeth like the teeth of a lion. 9 They wore armor made of iron, and their wings roared like an army of chariots rushing into battle. 10 They had tails that stung like scorpions, and for five months they had the power to torment people. 11 Their king is the angel from the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon—the Destroyer.

Now that s just plain wild,to think we will see such things. I am excited for all this that is coming,though I know it will be hard, and often times insane to live through all that is coming,i cannot help but be very excited too. Knowing that God’s word will not return void (Isaiah 55:11) ,is an awesome thing. Meaning nothing God says will happen, wont happen. All things He says in His word will come to pass. I say bring it on Lord. This earth is horribly corrupt and getting worse daily.

It can be seen that, starting with the plague of flies the people of Israel, who were living in the land of Goshen, were exempt from this disaster. God’s word says about this: “I will make a distinction between my people and your people” (Exodus. 8:23). From that plague onward the Children of Israel were untouched by the pestilence. During the last plague, when all the firstborn sons of Egypt were struck down in one night, the firstborn of Israel were spared. Israel had been told to place on the door posts of their houses, the blood of a lamb and to remain inside while the plague passed by them. We need to look at it this way, although the people of Israel were in Egypt, they were not of Egypt, so to speak. They were sheltered from danger by God. With the same plagues the people of Egypt were judged and destroyed.

We will be sheltered by God also in the end times. Just like the lambs blood around the door posts protected those within the house form death to the first born, so will the blood of Jesus that is our covering,our cloak so to speak of protection,keep us from death. Not a physical death, many of us will be slain for our witness of Christ, but it is a spiritual death that we are avoiding. Just as the plagues passed by the Jews who were in Egypt,many of the plagues coming upon the earth in the end will pass us by. Because though we live on the earth,we are now no longer of the earth. We are no longer worldly people. We are in fact covered and purified by the blood of Christ. The one time needed sacrifice to end all sacrifices,blood of the Lamb of God.

In Conclusion; We don’t need to be nervous about the end times. God will always take care of his own. We can see many scriptures throughout the Bible that illustrate this truth.
Proverbs 3:25-26 states: “Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared.” In Proverbs 2:7-8 we read: “He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.”

In Psalm 46:2-3, the Psalmist advises: ” Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.” There are many other wonderful Psalms of protection such as Psalm 27:1-3, 5 and 91:1-16. Indeed, the Book of Psalms may become the hymnal for last-day saints.

In many other scriptures God vows to protect his own. Psalm 33:18-19 states: “But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.” We remember how the prophet Elijah was miraculously delivered from famine for three-and-one-half-years (1 Ki. 17: 1-16), a period of time very similar to that of the Great Tribulation.Indeed, we see that “The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them” (Psa. 34:7). The sun will not harm them by day or the moon by night (Psa. 121:6). Joel the prophet in speaking about the day of the Lord says: “But the Lord will be a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Israel” (Joel 3:16).

In 2 Peter 2:9, the apostle assures us that: “the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.” for all those who believe we will not be here to withstand tribulation and think this verse solidifies that strain of thought,let me just say,it does not say,does not allow them to go through it,but to be rescued from them. You must be in some sort of troublesome situation to be rescued from it.

The seal of God in the forehead of the righteous obviously does not keep God’s saints from martyrdom, should God choose this to occur. It is made to keep them from giving up or denying the Lord under the awful times of the end. It is a type of spiritual protection. In Romans 8:35, Paul asks: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?” Paul answers his question in Romans 8:38-39: “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

That all said,we can choose to leave the Lord and His protection. However no matter what we do we cannot stop being loved by the Lord. There is no protection for those who choose, or have chosen, to walk away from God. I have had many an argument with people who use these particular verses (Romans 8:35-39) to say that no matter how much we shun the Lord and His laws, we cannot ever lose salvation once we have attained it. I beg to differ. We can give up our salvation and thus, have our names wiped out of the lambs book of life. Remember this, although God still loves those fallen angels,they can never come back to the Lord. There is no redemption for them. God loves us all, all of us, every single person on this earth no matter their sins or life styles,but He will not put up with sin, and it is not allowed near Him. He punishes those He loves,for their disobedience, at the end.

Through out the word Old and New Testaments, we can find that life is cyclical. Even without the word of God we see how much life is like a big circle. We go through many styles of clothing for instance,that come back around. As Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 1:9,What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. The wisest man in the entire world was Solomon,there has never been nor will there be anyone wiser than Solom was,except of course Jesus Christ,who is God. Also through out the word,old and new Testaments we find plenty of end time prophecies. In every book of the bible we can find some mention or some parallel to what is coming.

Study to shew themselves approved,then and only then will you be ready to face what is coming.
God Bless and watch over you all,in Christ Jesus,Tammy

I have been thinking. I keep getting all these emails, sign this petition sign that petition.These are from Christian groups all over the place.I cannot help but wonder,why are Christians,in essence, fighting against God? His plans. God said all of this was going to come about. His word says this was all going to happen. The prophecy scholars all talk about the end times,we are in those end times. The bible says there will be famine ,wheat would cost a days wage for one person.earth quakes,crazy storms. Signs all around us.There is coming a time very soon where it is going to cost us outrageous money for a loaf of bread.Inflation they said is coming and very soon.

Now the governments of the world are talking about one world currency,and there are Christians who are freaking out about this. They want us to fight against it all. It reminds me of when Jesus told Peter in Matthew 16:23 But hHe turned and said unto Peter,Get thee behind me, satan:thou art an offense to me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God,but thous savourest those that be of man. In the paraphrased bible it says it like this,Jesus turned on peter and said,get away from me you satan,you are a dangerous trap to me.You are thinking merely from a human point of view,and not from God’s.

What could Jesus have meant by that, thinking in human ways not God’s? Well to me that says Jesus is saying, your messing with God’s plan here. You cannot see the bigger picture. God’s plans must come to fruition, the exact way He said they would. People God always has His way! The plans were laid out long before we came along, and they will be going along in the same vein without us here. We are not going to change God’s way of thinking. Nor His plans. Everything must come about exactly how God said they would. So our lamenting and complaining and fighting,is not going to change God. Nor His plan.

There is going to come about this one world currency. Then the one world government is going to come about. Man some people are going to freak out at that, for sure. There is nothing we are going to say do, or fight about with (people we are supposed to love and set an example for btw)
Governments,as well as people who are false teachers that is going to stop it from happening. Evil is setting it’s tenterhooks into the world and going in deep for the kill. They have been setting the whole end times in motion for about 61 years now,actually quite a while longer than that. Evil had his plan as far back as the garden of eden. But now when Israel became it’s own country and government,admittedly heavily tied with America,thats when satan really started setting up his plan for the doom of the earth he is going to take it over and have us worship him above God. Or so he thinks.

He will not get this Christian. Praise God! he wont get any of us Christians who know God’s word and His plans for us. No matter what we will face, we are already victorious. The word was spoken, and it will go forth, come what may. God’s plan has been written since before the foundations of the earth were laid. We all know when God speaks,no matter what man woman, or child thinks of His plan,He knows best what to do, and will do it.Stop putting what you think should happen,before what God says will happen. The thing I have learned best about prophecy is, You have no clue how exactly it is going to all play out. That is where faith comes into the picture. Knowing God will do what He has said He would do. Knowing He has fabulous plans for you, His very strong knowledgeable Christian. He is going to make us shine like the light in the end times.

Then there is going to necessitate a one world religion. Since all the people on earth are united in every way, money wise and government wise,we all need to have the same beliefs. People will not be free to have their own thoughts, religion, or anything we are used to. Well here in America anyway. There are plenty of countries that do not want the people thinking for themselves. Unfortunately America is going down that same path, or so it would appear.Thats all you hear now a days,is how the government wants to take away our freedoms. Well I have news for you all,God said this was going to happen,and guess what? It is happening.Your signing petitions is not going to net you results. Your holding up signs in the streets are not going to get you anything but noticed in the wrong way.

Our job people is to love no matter what just love love love one another. Loving people means, being a shining example of God’s love for people and His grace at work through us. If the world sees Christians pointing fingers everywhere, and standing in the streets protesting, what good are you doing God? What kind of example is that of Christian love? We are simply and easily enough just supposed to love people every people in the world. Hate evil but love the people who have evil that lives in them. Those are some seriously hurting people right there. The world is cruel, but God is love. He loves every person on earth equally saved or not. He does not love you mister or misses Christian anymore than he loves the murderer on death row. He loves us all. There is forgiveness for every man woman and child, no matter what they have done wrong. Just remember in the words of Paul we were all at one time sinners lost in our sin. Do you think your lying to your wife or kids, is any less of a sin, than is murder?

In Gods eyes all sin is wrong. He is soooo HOLY!!!! (shout that word, holy,makes you feel good doesn’t it? Back to what I was saying. God is so Holy he cannot look upon sin. Sinner it is not that He does not love you, it is that you do not know Him,and your sin cannot be looked upon by God. If and or when you repent,really sobbing repentance at the knowledge of who you used to be,thats right,who you used to be,God has just made you a brand new clean baby. Sinless set free from the bondage of sin. Set free from blindness to God. He reveals Himself to you in that very moment. Then,you are no longer a sinner in His eyes. When you have repented of your sin as well as asking jesus into your heart to rein supreme over your life,God sees you clearly and beautifully. He has taken your sin and thrown it as far away as He could (which, I can only imagine is very far, since God is humongous) Never to look upon those sins again.

Do you take and re-member your past? Let’s think about re membering here for a moment. Re is like putting together again,and member a part of an animal body. When God forgets your sins He does not remember them,he does not put back together your sins and look upon them. He threw them away. If your having problems forgetting your sin and moving forward from them,just know this,it is you who keeps putting those thoughts back together again. Remember means to retain in the memory; keep in mind; remain aware of: God does not do that. He remembers you in only the best most beautiful straight up birght Jesus light. Because He called you and gave you to his son. He made you a bridal party participant.A part of Jesus Bride. We are God’s gift to Jesus. I love being a gift to my Jesus. He became the gift for us. He took on our sin and became sin, for us so we could be His prize. Alls one has to do is agree learn and understand all about Jesus,know He is sent of God. He lived a perfect and sinless life,and then died like a common criminal for you. So that when you accept His gift of life, you then become His gift.The Bible says, “Your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you” (Isaiah 59:2). See He cannot look upon sin.

Jesus cherishes each and every Gift God gives Him. He is so good to us always entreating the father on our behalf. Thats why we end our prayers in Jesus name,because Jesus is our go between. What I am saying is this You and I are not victims of God, we are sinners against God. The Bible says, “All have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory” (Romans 3:23). Our consciences tell us plainly that we have not even lived up to our own standards, let alone God’s. Jesus did not intrude himself between us and God. He didn’t jump in to wrestle God away from us against God’s will. God put Jesus between us and himself. “For God so loved the world that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him might have everlasting life” (John 3:16). The Go-between was God’s idea. He took the initiative to make a way for sinners to come to him through Jesus. God does not lose his cool. He is not impulsive or rash or reckless. He is perfectly righteous and unswervingly just and infinitely holy and pure. He never plays fast and loose with truth or with virtue. He upholds his law with unimpeachable equity and integrity. No shady deals. No bribery. No skeletons in the closet. “God is light and in him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5).

See what I am saying? God does not mess around,what He says He does. No question about it.What I am saying here is this,do not fight the Lord and or His plans for the world,it wont work. Embrace God’s plan and get strong in the Lord. Put on His whole armor which can be found in His word in Ephesians. Walk the Romans road. Live with Him guiding your every step from the inside. Trust Him to know what He is doing. Trust Him with your very life. He has nothing but great plans for you. The thing is ,we do not wait for that beautiful perfect relationship with the Lord. We can live it right now.We must start living it now,tomorrow may be too late.The Lord wants to pour blessing upon blessing and grace to grace on you and your life already.We do not have to be in Heaven to have that perfect relationship with our creator,we can have it right here on earth. All the while knowing, eternity is going to be, even greater than our wildest dreams could ever come up with. Knowing He is working us into perfection all along the way.

God’s plans will work out to His specifications, right to the last verse in the bible.He does not need your help, nor want it.Other than loving one another and leading more souls through that very deep loving of people, all people,to the Lord’s kingdom ,there is no job that God needs or wants man kind to try their hand at..Simply put, God sees all,He knows all from beginning to end.He sees evil at work and knows all their plans. We already have this victory won. Jesus won it all. It’s like this ,so it is written so it is done! The bible is not lying to us in anyway.Everything God said in His word will happen,and your going to just frustrate yourself in trying to fight against Gods plans. Pray always for guidance and for the salvation of every person we come into contact with. Live your life do not try to live anyone else’s life for them. In other words don’t judge people that is not your job. Just love them. Even if you cannot love them to the Lord, just love them. Jesus said in Matthew 5:44″But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”(NIV)

Just Love one another. Just pray for God’s strength on your own life. Yes by all means pray for the people of the world. Pray for what you wish to happen in this world, and God will do as he sees fit to do.Don’t make us Christians look like fools by being in the streets with signs in your hands.Or signing petition after petition. Do not send angry letters to your governmental officials.Just pray and love, and lead by example, the people of the world to the Lord.Christians are not fighters we are lovers.

I pray Father whomever happens to read this will be impacted. I pray Lord that if one reads this who does not know you,that you will reach out and touch their hearts Father.I pray you will call their name Lord and reveal yourself to them.I pray Lord that those who are hurting and fearing over the things about to take place,will come to absolute peace in their hearts about what you have said is going to happen will happen. I pray Father for assurance for those who are hurting Lord,that they can find perfect peace and rest in the midst of trials and fears and worries. I pray for strength for them Lord. Strength to withstand all that is about to come to fruition.
I praise you Lord that I know my strength is not my own but yours,and I thank you for that strength.I ask you all of this, in the matchless name of Jesus,Amen.

Love you all so much in Christ Jesus,Tammy
