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.
