END TIME EVENTS QUESTIONS? LOOK TO ELIJAH.

       Malachi 4:1-4. "For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments."

 This is NOT a comforting word picture now is it, at least not for those who reject Christ message of love!
   YES, of LOVE, because HE loves us ALL, and even those who reject Him, He will give them what they want! They do NOT want GOD nor Christ, in their lives, and HE 'll grant them their wish, but alas. . .as live comes from Christ, in order for any to not have Christ within them, means that LIFE IS NO LONGER WITHIN THEM! This is eternal death!

   Elijah, was surrounded by enemies beginning in 1 Kings 17. Remember that the Queen Jezebel, had ordered all the priests to worship Ba'al, or die. Well there shall come a time when the New World Order, will also demand, that all worship according to Rome, or face prison or death, just as she did in the Dark Ages! Yet many will think they are doing God a service!
   Elijah faced literal enemies, who wanted him dead, so he fled.

   1 Kings 18:21. "And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word."

   As this verse shows, there was little support from the people, for the ways of God! His enemies were three fold, Satan, men spiritually deceived, and global for his time. Just as in the end times, all three shall be enemies of the believers, yet each shall be safe within God' s hands!

  Revelation 16:19. "And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath."
Note: The three parts?
Revelation 16:13. "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. "

    This as the Trident hand [Notice the shape of any Pope's hand forms, as he "Blesses" the crowd. As symbolic also of the Flu er-delie. This verse is the "trinity of Enemies" of God.

 So let's begin at the top of this power structure shall we?....>
Revelation 12:13. "And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child."
    So, who was this man-child? Jesus the Christ! Remember it was the king set up by Pagan Rome, Satan's earthly system, whom in an effort to kill Jesus murdered all males children under two years old? That's the why God's angel woke Joseph up and told him to get Mary and the baby to Egypt!
Matthew 2:16-18. "Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy [ Jeremiah 31:15 ]the prophet, saying, In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not."

    Another example of Satan's using humans for his dirty work:
Ezekiel 29:2-3. "Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt: Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself."
Here the Word speaks about Pharaoh, as the Great dragon, due to the fact this king was acting as Satan ordered.. His proxy, if you will.

 Revelation 19:19-21. "And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh"

Here the same three enemies but now in the form of Satan as the Dragon, the Little Horn  Beast Power, and the Ten Kings, of the ten States earth shall be carve3d into, as of yet they have no power!

Now Return to the top, and read Malachi 4:!-4 now knowing this with the story of Elijah's fight against this same power!  Plus NOW it easier to relate this woman...>
Revelation 17:3-5. "So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:  And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
   This woman, the Harlot as the same symbolically to the other woman of the O.T. namely Jezebel, right?
NOTE: She is called a MOTHER of Harlots right? Thus she has Daughters, yes or no? Who are here daughters?
    Well assuming, that you, friend, have read other posts on this site, under both headings, you'll have learned that a women is symbolic of a church. The pure woman of Rev. 12:1-2, is God's church, {REV.12:17} and Rev. 17 is what God call the apostate church! Then it stands to reason that the Daughters, follow the Mother {Church} in some doctrinal ways, such as Sunday worship, worship on the Venerable day of the Sun god!
  Just as most Protestant churches do even today, right? {Read Gen.2:1-3 and Exodus 20 1-11}

Revelation 17:6. "And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration."
   Even Pope John Paul 11 apologized, for the millions murdered during the Dark Ages, because of people who believed in the Bible, but not in Rome's dogma!
NOTE: Biblical fornication, means perverting the Scriptures, or ignoring them in favor of one' s own interpretations!   Now is this a global effect, yes or no?

Revelation 17:12-14. "And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful."

   Again all those with Jesus, should have no fears, yes those living at the time shall see all this, but only those who reject Jesus shall undergo these woes! Remember the Story of Moses, who on his return to have the king to "Let my People go"? Well remember when this king told them to work on their Sabbath, that right after wards, the plagues fell? So what think you God shall do when Sunday Law is spoken by the Beast? Remember governments speak via laws! They will force all to work on the Sabbath- Saturday or be imprisoned of killed!.....>

Revelation 13:13-18. "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." See "The Man behind the Mask" and other posts. JB.

 Revelation 13:11-12. "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exercised all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed."

   Please know history, France took over the Papal lands, and removed her as a nation, and took the Pope prisoner, who died three months latter. This was the deadly wound....Revelation 13:2-3. "And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."
This deadly wound was healed in 1929 via the Lateran Treaty between Gasparri and Mussolini!
Note Reading of Daniel chapters 2 and 7 speaks of these beasts which are in the reverse order of Rev. 13 as John was then "looking back into time". {Rev.13:1-2.]

The False Prophet of Rev.13: 11-12, helps the Fist beast, by speaking as the the first beast.Can you see this as the Second enemy? Helping the the first just as Jezebel did?

Now for the Third Enemy: These are the Ten Kings, who will receive power for one week  {All prophecy time frames are to be one day for one year,}

Revelation 14:6-7. "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

Revelation 18:21. "And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all."

Babylon, what or who is this today? Well the first and physical Babylon accepted the Words of Satan, and became a the earth's source of all things apostasy, including witchcraft, sorcery, the occult, divination, fortune tellers, and astrology, speaking to the dead, and a host of other evils, that were absorbed by Pagan Rome, and Rome itself! Right now the biggest thing ongoing in churches today is this babel of "Speaking in tongues",
and "Contemplative Prayers," in the which one is to "empty" one's minds in order to hear the voice of God,! OH you'll hear voices alright but NOT GOD' s but from Satan himself!
    At least the last sin he's pushing into the Adventist Church, because all members are taught about the state of the dead, and the dead are dead, and nothing more, so he's pushing this empty minds stuff!

Malachi 4:5-6  Behold. "I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."

WHY?

Revelation 18:4. "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

Again. . . WHY?
Revelation 14:6-7  And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. {from Exodus 20 4th Commandment in part] To bring us all back to our Creator!

Psalms 95:6. "O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker."

Please allow me to pose these Questions:  "Who made the Sun"?   "Who made the First Day"?  Who made the Sabbath the 7th day'?    A: to all three GOD!

Therefore, is NOT the Worship on Sun- day the worship of the SUN, and if man gives worship to anything other than GOD, is that not IDOLATRY?   Please think long and hard! Is not eternal life worth a bit of time and study?
Genesis 2:1-3. "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made"
Mark 2:28. "Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath."
Exodus 20:8-11. "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it"

If you've read about Elijah's story on Mt. Carmel, you know that with prayers, answered, God sent down fire from heaven to devour the sacrifice Elijah offered, right? Well....>
Revelation 18:7-9. "How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,"  That friend, is today's Babylon, the mother and all her daughters, who worship on a common day, rather than on the day GOD SANCTIFIED Sabbath the 7th day!

Matthew 24:15. "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)"

NOTE: here Jesus, as the speaker, ties this into Daniel's writings! This IS the Sunday Law!
Just as the needs of Elijah were met, so also will the true believer's needs be met, supplied by angels.

Revelation 19:1-2. "And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God: For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand."
Heaven is preparing for Christ's second Advent!

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

What Reward? Jesus shall give what we all want, either eternal life with Him, or eternal death without Him!
Choose ye this day whom ye shall serve, God or man?  Sitting on fence, you have already chosen man!

Thank you for your time.

Can U Trust Bible' s Math?

   MATHEMATICAL PROOF as a set-up equation does not exist per say, however, if one is willing to dig, and you the READER, is willing to take the time to read this blog, then let's go!

   Most of us in the English speaking world,  have heard, or have read about Bible Prophecy, agree?
IF, one knows the history for the old empires of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greek under Alexander the Great, or the two Roman empires, pagan and religious, then read the Book of Daniels first seven chapters, with the knowledge that this was penned, 457 years. Please find my "Sure Word of Prophecy" in these blogs as Chapter  V's " GOD' s Preview of History #1.In the which foretold, the month and the year of Christ' s birth, death figured from His baptism as the start of His Ministry, and the end of Israel' s national Salvation, 3.5 years later, at the stoning death of Stephen!~ Plus the correct order and the naming of these empires but for the Rome, who had the power to eliminate the Bible.

  Now I ask YOU dear Readers, who could do this with such precision, and spot-on accuracy, but a Creator God, with the power to control events? Our Creator Father GOD, has given us over 300 prophecies in total and this will list just 8 of them:
                FORETELLING                               OLD BOOK      NEW TESTAMENT
 1. Christ the Messiah to be born in Bethlehem     Micah 5:2.......Matthew 2:1 & Luke 2:4-6.
2. He shall be of the blood line of Jacob               Numbers 24:7        Matt. 1:2.
3. He shall enter Jerusalem as a King on a donkey Zechariah 9:9.....    Mark 11:4-11.
4. He shall be betrayed by a friend.                      Psalm 41:9               Luke 22:47-28.
5 30pcs of silver the betrayal money-buy potter's flied. Zech. 11:13     Matt. 27:9-10.
6. His hands and feet, pierced.                            Psalm 22:16            John 20:25-27.
7. He shall be spat upon and struck by blows     Isaiah 50:6              Matthew 26:67.
8. Soldiers will gamble-cast lots for His garments. Psalm 22:18            Luke 23:34

There is NO WAY that one man could have fulfilled all of these just 8 prophecies unless there was a Divine Power in control shaping these events, and causing persons to act and re-act to these event as they were foretold!  Who else can control events? Who else can make predictions 1000' s of years in advance, and have them come to pass, as written and on time of those with a time factor, but GOD?
    A mathematical professor by the name of Peter Stones,who was the chairman of the Mathematics and astronomy departments of Pasadena City College until 1953. Then at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, Ca., where he served as Chairman of their Science Division.  He put the odds as 100 quadrillion, or 1 in 100,000,000,000,000, 000. To be sure science holds that anything beyond the power of 1 to a billion as being next to impossible.

To give a more understandable picture, let's take a state say the size of Iowa, taking the old silver dollars and covering the state with them to a depth of 6 feet, then with one of them painted red, buried some were within this pile across the Iowa. Then have one blindfolded person, find the painted coin, on the first and only try!
You see science tells us that this ratio, this number is more than there are particles within the Universe!

Now many do not agree that Christ lived and died to pay for the sins of mankind, and we humans need faith to accept that, right?

    What we do not need faith for is to accept with belief that the Holy Bible MUST be, either directed, or inspired by a Divine Being, who also created all life forms!

   How can I say this is so?  Well to all who are of a scientific nature, please recall your lessons on entropy.
All things that move, shall over time lose momentum, and begin to wander from their original paths agree?
Well, if science is right, and the Universe is 14.5 billion years of age, when does this law of entropy kick in?

    As per Biblical reckoning Creation of earthly beings began between 6-7 thousand years ago, depending upon whose numbers one chooses. Still some one, some power, must keep all the orbits in their place and all moving at the selected speeds, or else the night sky would look like a billiard table, from time to time. Yet all of moves as if under the control of some giant unseen hand!

AS for life and how it began, science holds that chemical and compounds mixed together, over a great span of time, and either via lightning or radiation, life somehow got started!

  But that's a great big problem as chemicals and compounds, are able to carry, nor store, thus unable to pass one any type of information, and most know that the formation of information requires some kind of intellect, agree?   Now, forgive me, but which one of YOU have ever found any intelligent chemicals or compounds of late?  Or think you can put a pile of raw cotton, a needle and thread into a pile, and leave it for a few years, and then come by and find you now have a brand new shirt? Does not the manufacture of any item of clothing require a intelligence, to manufacture and assemble? Or can it make itself into your shirt?

   No doubt, there have many of these stories, over time, as this one been around since the 1950's so it is not new, but this may be "NEWS" to you!

TRUE DISCIPLINE...THE MAKING OF A DISCIPLE.

     DO YOU KNOW that Jesus Christ has made an appointment with each person? First via the Angel at the Tomb, and second....>

Matthew 28:16. "Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them."
1 Corinthians 15:6. "After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep."

   You see, in every generation, everyone receives His calling, to meet Him at the Mountain top, [of knowledge] of and about Him. His mane Jesus is shown everywhere, in all tongues, yet many have doubted...>
Matthew 28:17. "And when they saw him, they worshiped him: but some doubted."

Note: Doubted Greek word here is Distazo, meaning to duplicate-double minded, to waiver in one's opinion.,  as so many do today, right? They know not what to believe either men or God!

Matthew 22:14. "For many are called, but few are chosen."
Note: This verse is among the most miss-understood, and wrongly taught, of all. WHY? Far too few look up the actual word in the Greek, "Chosen"
Eklectos- 1588- the elect, those WHOM have chosen, to surrender into God's love and care. Plus the word called are God's saints, those chosen by HIM, man/men can not make one a saint!
   Now getting back to the doubters, their doubts rested in their unwillingness to accept Christ' s Authority, as so many so-called "Christians" of today! That's the why we have so many differing denominations and religions, that worship Fridays, Saturdays, the Biblical Sabbath and the first day of the week the "Venerable day of the Sun". All because so many doubt Christ's Authority!

     You see, this is the example for the lack of discipline! Ever take note how close the words disciple and discipline really are? You must have disciple before you can be a disciple agree?  But to become a disciple, one must be willing to fully surrender their will before God! "Thy will be done!"  If this is not yet your character, pray and ask the Father, to remake you into HIS image, which IS HIS CHARACTER, WHICH IS HIS GLORY!

Mark 7:7. "Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
Note: Please take heart in the meaning of this verse, as it pertains to the many "Traditions" of men".
      "Worship.Strong' s# 4576 Sebomia- To revere, to adore, to be devout, religious worship. No I ask YOU dear Reader, can YOU adore, be devout to, one who you have but a fleeting knowledge of? So where but in God' s own Word, can we in truth learn of HIM? Remember getting you knowledge from a man is getting second knowledge right? So......
are YOU satisfied with another' s ideas about your Father, or do you want it from HIS ONLY source the Holy Bible, which can be understood by anyone who has earnestly prayed for understanding?

Matthew 28:17. "And when they saw him, they worshiped him: but some doubted."
   Please know also, that all there most certainly knew that that Jesus died on the cross, and now has be raised from the grave, YET many still doubted His AUTHORITY over them.   Consider:
1. Most Bible students know Christ "Made" Adam from the dust of the earth, subsequently also each one of us, agree?
2. HE created all that we see and have, of all life, all plants and all minerals, right?
3. He sustains us all by His power, agree?
4. Because of sin, humanity fell, under Satan's rule, and Heaven purchased us all from Satan by the life and blood of Christ Himself. right?
5. IF YOU made anything, who owns it but YOU?
SO....>
1 Corinthians 6:19-20. "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

Lest we forget, read Luke chapter 1, and know that within this Christ has set up an appointment for each one of us, at least those who have chosen Christ, because they have learned of Him and and come to love Him, and thus became will to obey and surrender to His will!

Herewith, are three facts that must precede, our service to our fellow men:

1 SELF- ASSESSMENT: 2 Corinthians 3:5. "Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;"     remember..,..>Philippians 4:13  I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
But to self-assess, we need but to ask, "Is Christ pleased with all that I do/" If you can't say Yes, you best be on your knees in prayer seeking help and guidance.

2SELF- APPLICATION: 2 Timothy 2:15. "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." [STUDY AS PER Isaiah 28:9-10]

3.SELF ACCOUNTABILITY. Romans 14:11-12. "For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.Matthew 10:24-25  The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?"

Remember none can be nor should think of self, as above the Master Jesus Christ!
As with all shown Scriptures, it's best to read a few verse above and below the given texts, for a fuller understanding!

THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST.

    MANY PEOPLE, accept the fact that our Lord and Savior shall return, and may think it will be sooner than latter!
    
    If YOU, are one of the many who believes the above sentence, then YOU are also an ADVENTIST, waiting on His second advent!

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

    You see, this has been since Adam and Eve, one the Central reasons, for our being, for humanity to be once again re-united face to face with our Heavenly Father, and His Son and the Holy Spirit, the Full Godhead.

    Most people believe that this earth and this life just can NOT keep on going with humanity getting more and more evil, and earth getting more and more polluted, and earth's soils more and more depleted of minerals that plants need, in order to provide the complete nourishment our bodies need! However, all the believers in Christ, know what the the Bible says, and they accept that we are near the time of the end.

    Then accepting that time is short, should not all of us prepare to meet our Savior, and get ourselves ready and be as those who try to hide form Christ, yet shall be consumed and lost? He, Jesus will even send to each of us who are willing to receive the Holy Spirit, and HE shall do the work within in us, to get us ready, if we but surrender in loving obedience!
  
    Isaiah 12:1-6. "And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comforted me. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.  Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee."

    Please know dear readers, that this 12th chapter of Isa. is leads directly into Isa. 23-27th chapters, [Please read them] and know that God will work towards our salvation.  Plus please make note of the beginning words in Isa.12:1 "IN THAT DAY"  The day of the LORD,'s return, for without that day. . . our lives would have no reason nor purpose! Life would be as the Evolutionists say, live then die the end!

Exodus 15:1 "Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.

5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.

6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.

8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.

15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.

16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.

17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.

19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.

24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,

26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

27 And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters."

Please compare the above Exodus 15 with the next...>

Isaiah 15:1 "The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence;

2 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.

3 In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.

4 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.

5 My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.

6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.

7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.

8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim.

9 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land."

Do not both these passages show that God does indeed deliver His own, those who claim Him in love as their Father in Heaven via HIS SON Christ Jesus?
Exodus 13:3  "And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten."
Joel 1:15. "Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come."
Joel 2:1. "Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;"
1 Thessalonians 5:2. "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night."
2 Peter 3:10. "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 fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Can you see, that there can be no doubts about the meaning of the Day of the LORD? Nor should any one doubt that the the sight of sin makes GOD angered.

Isaiah 53:5-6. "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."

John 3:15-17. "That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved"

GOD has no anger for the repentant sinner, who sought forgiveness through His Savior Christ Jesus! BECAUSE,  Christ's righteousness then covers us in the Father' s eyes!

WHERE THERE IS TRUST, THERE IS NO FEAR, BUT WHERE THERE IS FEAR, THERE IS NO TRUST.

IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN OVER YOUR HEAD, TURN TO THE ONE THAT CAN WALK ON THE WATER! B 4 WE, THE FAITHFUL ASK,  HE WILL ANSWER!

No believer need not fear the future as GOD has it within HIS Hands!
Psalms 28:6-8. "Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed."
Psalms 118:13-14. "Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation."

    So by all means "Give thanks to the LORD"  Psalms 105:1  "O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people." Isaiah 12:4. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted."

Proclaim that HE is exalted in your eyes and heart...> Hebrews 7:26-27. "For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself."

Revelation 15:2-4. "And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.  Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest."

Revelation 22:12-16. "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whore-mongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."
2 Peter 3:8. "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.  Psalms 90:4  For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night."

Note: GOD is eternal, from forever to forever! To hours day years do not mean as much as they do to mortal mankind!

What many find shocking is the high rate of self-murder, suicides, among our teens! The Progressive Liberals have no clue, but they pull their collective hair out by the roots, with worry!
    Yet they are the DIRECT cause and EFFECT for this!    Allow me to show you. . . .
It's been what? four generations that we have taught our school children, there is no GOD, that we are here by pure random and accidental change! We life, we love and are loved {If lucky} then we die the end!
How hopeless and hos so wrong!
Yet here a a teen, trying to cope, life and all it's problems and hurts, and they think, "Well, here I am 15 -22 years old, and I may have maybe 60  or more years of this hurtful pain to live with? Not knowing the reason for me, nor the why I am here, nor is there anything but a cold death waiting, why should I put up with all this hurt and pain, end it all now, and stop the hurt, as the end is still nothing!
You see it takes faith to believe in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, but it takes a heap more faith to believe that dead stuff produced life!

EVEN SO COME    LORD JESUS!  AMEN.
Thanks for your time.

WHY DO WE HURT? WE DO NOT ASK!

THIS IS A FOCUS ON MATTHEW 23-25..

     IF  you have read Matthew 23,  you'll have learned the why many call this the SEVEN WOES TO THE SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES. Plus Christ made a very bold statement...>

    Matthew 23:36-38. " Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate."

DESOLATE: from the Greek word Eremos meaning waste, wilderness,, and today in it's place stands the Dome of the Rock, an Islamic Temple built in the 700-800, A.D.

       Leaving the Temple He told this to the 12, as they overlooked Jerusalem, and ...>Matthew 24:1-3  "And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"

    Now please know, that to the Jews at this time, the temple was their emotional center for their nation, so they asked Him the three questions! So how did Jesus answer them?

  Matthew 24:4. "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you."
Jesus told them "Let NO MAN deceive!"  In view of their questions, a rather odd answer, right? But pray tell, and notice His reason....>

Matthew 24:5  . "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many."
  This is a new thing, as this has NOT EVER happened, until the post 1900's, where we have phony  Jesus' claiming to be Jesus Christ, during  the same time as...>
Matthew 24:6-8. "And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows."

   Now honestly are we not there today? A quick check with the U.S. Geological Department, will allow you to see, that from 1900-- 1990 we have had as many 6 or greater on the Richter Scale, as earth had from 1990- 2000, and we have far more 8 and above earthquakes since 1990, than at any recoded times before!

Matthew 24:24. "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

ELECT: Eklectos- meaning chosen- Favorite- elect.Remember God has chosen each one of us to be saved, but we must also chose Him through Christ His Son!
So what about these "Great signs and wonders"? Well now just what do YOU, dear reader,  think about all the reports about those wispy images of Mary? Or all those Carved Idols/Statues, that bleed blood or purest olive oil? Do you think that God is into these gimmicks? No my friends, this and the earth';s upheavals are the workings of the ruler of this earth, Satan!

Now think you, that people who study, and not just read the Holy Bible, so they know God's truth, will be deceived by Satan's lies? Or those whom he has recruited to serve him? Those who have gained "Overnight" wealth and success, and then when they were of no more use, cast aside, they kill themselves?

Matthew 25:1. "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom."
Bible's Virgins-- those who never sough out man's religions, ans stayed with the Bible's doctrines.
Lamps-- The Words of God the Holy Bible.Psalm 119:105
Matthew 25:2-4. "And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps"
OIL--- the Holy Spirit Zech. 4:2-6
 Zechariah 4:2-6  And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:  And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts."

So how do we receive the Holy Spirit? 1. Accepting Christ as your personal Savior. Prayerful study of the Word, and then......>

 Luke 11:13  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

"....THAT ASK HIM? "

Matthew 12:13. "Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other."

Many have heard of the New World Order, or the One World Government, right? Well this this passage, goes along with that.....>
John 16:2-3. "They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me."
Ecclesiastes 1:9. "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun"

Remember the Dark Ages, of western Europe? "Worship as I say or die"! .was the order for many centuries, when Church and State worked as one! They shall do so again! As this church leadership, still stand on their own traditions and laws!

Matthew 25:6. "And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him."
The Bridegroom--is Jesus Christ on His returning to earth, while not ever putting down his feet upon earth.
Matthew 25:7-12. "Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.  But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not."

Most have not ever been taught, thus never learned to ask for the Holy Spirit to come in and guide us, right? This IS the oil for our life-lamps, in order to see, the Bible's meanings more clearly!
YET the Most important part, and the reasons for our asking for the Holy Spirit to be within us, is to stop the DECEPTIONS FROM WITHIN US! 1  Most of us think were A OK with Christ right, because we think we do good for others,  once in a while?
 Revelation 7:14  And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Thank you for your time.

THE SCIENCE of ARCHAEOLOGY and THE HOLY BIBLE.

   MOST just know not, that this branch of Science, is relatively new, since only about the 1890's, were standards set, and followed, insuring the honesty of a find! Please know, that if something is not yet found, does NOT mean, it does not exist, agree?

  MOST. again, do not know, that there's not ever been anything found, that disproves any part of God's Word. To the contrary, the professionals use the Bible, as a guide, and a source, if you will, to find a referenced person, peoples, or place.

  Many, of the finds, in archaeological discoveries have substantiated both events and people written of in the Holy Bible! There is for examples:
Egypt's invasion of Israel in 1 Kings 14:25.     The Assyrian Siege of Lachish in 2 Kings 18-19 chapters.
Or the trade relationship between Israel and the Queen of Sheba- 1 Kings 10. The Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem; and the reigns of Kings- Omri, Ahab, Uzziah, Hezekiah, Ahaz, Jeroboam 11, and Jehoichin in 1 and 2 Kings, all have been confirmed by archaeology. Plus the Dead Sea Scrolls, which shows there was no change in the Old Testament messages, up to and just passed the birth of Christ.

    These are proof positive that the Holy Bible is just what it claims to be, the Word of God the Creator of all things and life forms!

    This is to my knowledge, the only, repeat ONLY branch of Science, to do so, all other branches dismiss God altogether, much to their loss!

Thank YOU for your studies.

P.S. Out in the world, many accuse of of being a Cult, but the definition of a cult is that such an organization totally centers on the total focus of one person, but we are just the opposite, as we send our representatives, from each congregation, to our Local Conference headquarters, for election purposes, each conference in turn sends elected reps, to the national conference, and each nation send its reps to the International Conference, which then votes on new policies, if any, or new doctrines if any! This shows we are a BOTTOM UP, AND NOT A TOP DOWN ORGANIZATION. Unlike all other Denominations, right?

Yes, I also have read, that we worship Satan, indulge in cannibalism, and drink human blood! By the way, all of these traits we are accused of, are totally against the Holy Bible directions! We are for the most of us total Vegans, as per Genesis 1:29...>

Genesis 1:29. "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."

God is our Creator, and by being our Maker, He knows what is best kinds of fuel for our bodies, right?

The RISE OF THE ONE WOLRD GOVERNMENT and RELIGION.

Revelation 13:12-13. "And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,"

Note: This deadly wound, occurred in 1798, by  the French General under Napoleon, by the name of Berthier, who took the Vatican by force of arms, arrested the Pope, and removed her Sovereignty as a Nation.
     The San Fransisco Chronicle of that day, when Gasparri and Benito Mussolini, signed the Lateran Treaty in 1929, restoring her again as a Sovereign Nation, again. this paper's headlines said, "The Deadly Wound is Healed!"

    So, you may ask, what has this got to do with me?

   
Revelation 13:3-4. "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.  And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?"

   So, you might still ask, "What's that got to do with me"?

Revelation 13:14-18. "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

NOTE: Please take a hard look at this: "This IS against the Roman system, the Powers that run and are in full control of the church, it's rulers if you will. This IS NOT against this who follow it's teachings, believing them to to be the very Word of God, and this church shall have many parishioners of hers, in Heaven!

Let's unzip the parts in red above, shall we?
1  Rome used to use the old "Triple Crown" when they elected a New Pope [Latin for FATHER*]
2. They stopped using it many years ago because of the information given below....
3 On this Crown is written these words:  VICARIUS FILII DEI  Latin for Vicar for God [Christ]
4, Most also know of the Roman Numerals  in the which letters stand for a particular number, right?

So read these from top to the bottom and from left to right and find a number of a man!

V............ 5              F........     0            D..........500
I............. 1              I .......      1            E.........      0
C........100               L ......    50            I.........       1
A .......     0              I ............  1          ------------------
R .......     0              I ...........   1                         501
I .........     1              --------------                      112
U ..........   5                           53                            53
S ...........   0  ..                                               ------------------                                         
---------------------                                                  666 THE NUMBER OF A MAN Yet please know
            112                                               Satan is an Angel, fallen yes, but NOT A MAN!
  Yes, it says  in red above, that is the number of a man, but there have been many Popes, but each is just a man, and each ruled as as Supreme!

Revelation 14:9. "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,"

Revelation 13:15. "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."

As it was From 100A.D to the 18th Century, Rome and her allies, said worship as I say or die! Now still yet TODAY, she claims the the power to judge what is heresy,  and she then still claims the power, to kill all heretics, as she did during all the Dark Age {Revelation 13:15}

Revelation 13:16. "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:"

       No, this is not any visible mark, beyond any person's character, shown by their live-style and actions and words! It's not a tattoo, nor chip, nor card, but it IS where ONE' s Loyalties lie. Whom they bow down to worship, God, or Man's church, and on God's day, the Bible Sabbath or on man's day the day of the Venerable Sun -day!
    If any feel that this is not truth, nor historical honesty just what think YOU, the meaning if this verses..>
Revelation 12:6. "And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days."
Historical time frame? 538 A.D. to 1798 is 1260 years [Numbers 14:34 + Ezekiel 4:6 -one day for a  prophetic year]

Revelation 12:15. "And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood."
Note: A flood of lies, deceptions and counterfeit doctrines;;{ There is NOT one verse in God's Word, about a change for a day of worship, nor any hint that Mary has been resurrected, and now in heaven, WITH ALL THE OTHER DEAD PERSONS!.  {UNTIL RESURRECTION MORNING WITH CHRIST'S RETURN!}

Revelation 12:17. "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

Please, all readers, take the last verse to heart! ONLY Christ has the power to save anyone, no man. nor men, nor Church is able. They can't even save themselves, as all shall be destroyed by Christ, at His return!

THE CRY OF ALL NONBELIEVERS IN CHRIST SHALL.......>
Revelation 6:16-17. "And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"
THE CRY OF THE ALL BELIEVERS IN CHRIST SHALL CRY...>
Isaiah 25:9. "And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation."

Most have heard about the tribulations still to come, right? Well read Revelation 7:1-17.
Please know, that today April 2013, we are in  the time frame of verse 4, one the 3rd Seal, when there shall be a great shortage of food, as a normal wage for the days of John, was a penny a day, so this means it will take all a man or woman earns each day just to buy food. With the world's economy as it is, can you not see this coming?
   This verse, as in much of the Bible, it is nit written in chronological order, as VS12,13 are already in the past, Lisbon earthquake, the Blood red Moon {1700's] and the Stars fell from heaven was in the 1800's where papers reported that it was so bright, with all the meteors burning up in our air, that it was printed that it was light enough to read a newspaper at 3 am.
  Vs 5 has been ongoing since the mid 1800's beginning with all dead, and then those whom have passed each moment since. Yet all the woes of this Revelation Book shall be dovetailed together beginning with...>

Revelation 16:2. "And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshiped his image."

Revelation 16:11. "And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds."

Note: Upon whom. . . .Did this fall upon?
Well we can be certain, that none of these woes shall come unto anyone within whom Christ ' s love rules, so they shall fall upon all these who reject Him or worship Him on their human terms!

Matthew 12:8. "For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day."
But you say which day is that? Let the Bible tell you OK?
Genesis 2:1-3. "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."

NOTE: All you need to do is to look at your calendar to see which day is the Seventh day, and which is  the first day , of the week, right?
