EARTH and LIFE IS WINDING DOWN.

   
     THE FACT THAT LIFE IS WINDING DOWN, should be evident to all, even the hermit living in cave!
      
      This is factual for all, no matter at what stage of life, YOU find this post, as time is progressing for each. But, so is this earth, we need only to look at human population growth, to know this is not infinite in time, as life as we know it, agree?

      Please know that as best as experts can say, it required humanity up to the 1600's to total a population of 1 billion, from man's first childbirth! However earth reached the 6 Billion mark back in the mid 1980's, now in 2013 it stands at 7 Billion!

     Now look at food production, yes most farmers, are reaping much more per acre, than ever before, but with the continual use of chemical fertilizers, the soils are being totally sterilized, as the good and required bacteria, nematodes etc, are killed by it. Making the ground both rock hard and sterile, and unless they begin to add compost, they just may as well sow seeds on concrete and blacktop!  Are you ready for humanity to raid your gardens? I can honestly say, that you'll face more hungry people than you can shoot bullets!

      Amos 8:11. "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:"

Note:  Anyone who thinks  we are not yet at the above point, must exist in a vacuum! However those with Christ can.....

      Exodus 23:25. "And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee."

Note: In Christ we do. . . . Not. . .  have to worry about receiving that which life requires!

Matthew 24:4-5. "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many."

Note: As best as I know today, we have men in Florida, Mexico City, Brazil and S. Africa, whom all make the claim that each is Jesus Christ, and each make a very, very large incomes, thank you!

     Now, again, unless you live in a vacuum, you must have noticed things about the weather, and the natural disasters, in the latter years, agree? Why even in this September of 2013, the City of Rome-Italy, received it's first recorded tornado, ever!
  If you go to, http://www.earthquake.usgs.gov as I did in 3/2011 to get these facts:
1. There have been more than 400 earthquakes of 7.0 or greater on the Richter scale, since 1556.
2. Only 21 of these were between 1556 and 1843, including the Biblical significant 8.7 Lisbon quake of 1755.
3. From 1844 to 1993 we had 80+ Major {7.0-7.9) or great (8.0-9.9) earthquakes.
4. From 1934 to 1970 we had about 100 major and great quakes. This would include the "MINOR"? one of 1933 in Long Beach Ca.. I have personally spoken to old time farmers, dairymen, who still lived on the same land in 1970. They woke up because their animals became afraid and bellowed their fears. They went out to see, just in time to hear, a noise in the east, and with dawn breaking, they saw trees swaying with utility poles, and then three "Waves" as in the ocean, coming towards them. This was some 25 miles inland as the crows fly! Many lost their balance as did their cows!
5. From 1971 to 2003 we had 100 both major and great quakes, AS YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER AND FREQUENCY CLEARLY ON THE INCREASE, BUT IT EXPLODED IN THE 21ST CENTURY!
5. From 2004 to 3/ 2011 there were 90 major and great quakes!

Note: It took only these last 7 years for earth to have the equal number for the previous 33 years and 37 years before that!    WE were told of this increase, 2000 years ago but few ever bother to read, or to teach it!

Matthew 24:7. "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."
Mark 13:8. " For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows."
In th early manuscripts this read as ""Sorrows importeth the pains of a woman in travail [labor]. pains come closer and more intense as birth nears!

Note:  A. Since human inception of the United Nations, to be be the world's "Peace Keepers" (?) We have had a state of war, somewhere on earth ever since! SO "Nation shall rise against nation." is a fact!
"Famines," yes earth has had them all along, but the word diverse ...

Greek word, Kata- means in places that normally do not suffer these event! [Earthquakes are a West coast event so why did New York get one last year?]
"Pestilences". Look at all the stuff that now kills people, that NEVER before have crossed the species line! Mad-cow, [do you know the authorities now do NOT autopsy those with Alzheimer-mad-cow disease?]
                    WHY? it's due to a protein called PRION, it takes 2200 degree F to destroy it, and that's hot enough to melt all lab equipment! That's a good reason to become a Vegan right? Plus Equine Flu, Swine Flue, Avian Flue, now have all crossed over to infect humans, for the first time! Lest we forget H.I.V. it still has no cure, and is still killing millions each year, to date! A. M.A.'s January article for 2013 speaks to the fact, that this Aids, happens and begins with sex between males, but that's not P.C. to speak about is it?

Leviticus 20:13. "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

Note: This also is not P.C. today but look.....

2 Thessalonians 1:8. "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:"

Note (j.b.) We ALL are GOD' s children, and HE loves each one of us! In and with Christ, HE gives us the power to leave all this behind us, in loving obedience, if we are but willing to surrender self wants and desires! I know He broke my 40 year tobacco habit, AFTER I discarded all the stuff, and asked HIM to to do HIS part, and have not ever craved any more for them!

Please know, that even your very next breath, is at our Heavenly Father's pleasure.....; Luke 12:17-19. " And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry."

    Is this not where most of us are living our lives as? But keep reading for the point....
Luke 12:20. "But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?"
BUT WHY?
Luke 12:21-25. " So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?"

                                 PRINCIPLE of SCRIPTURE.

      Revelation 21:1-7. " And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son."

NOTE: Herein, and in many other locations, we are given the terms, we must attain, with Heaven direct help, Via the Holy Spirit's unctions, God's promise of eternal life, for ALL who "Overcome" sin!
   You see, there's much more to life, than what re receive in these flesh bodies. Which is why the true Christian knows that death of the flesh, is not the everlasting end, but only a sleep until Resurrection-morning at Christ's Second Return! As this is when we shall see, again our lived ones. but the atheists, have no such hope!.......

1 Corinthians 15:17-19. " And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable."

Note: IF. . . if only in this flesh vessel we have hope, then we are most miserable, because then death of this vessel means the end. But that's one of the greatest reasons of the WHY Christ rose from the the dead! To show us all what GOD is able to do, for those who accept Him in trust/faith!

Isaiah 65:17. " For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind." Revelation 3:5. " He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."

2 Peter 3:13-14. " Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless."

Note: Please know this brings mankind back to Eden, the same Eden Adam and Eve lost to Satan when the rebelled against God and ate the fruit from the tree they were told not to eat or death shall come! Read in Gen.3:4 the first recorded lie, of Satan, NOT die! mankind believed it ever since. . . die and go to heaven right? WRONG! [Find post "Where are the DEAD"]

Revelation 21:7. " He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son."

Note: Pray and ask that you are made will to surrender to His will! {To be made willing to be willing}
Plus read Genesis 1,2 chapters and know this is shown again in Revelation 21-22 chapters!

     Please know this fact: "Our Creator, originally planned for this earth, to be our eternal home, but because of sin, Satan gained ruler ship of earth, which is one reason for the why of the Cross! Know also that ever since Eve betrayed His trust, God has been working for our collective salvation ever since! Towards the total liberation of both this earth and Heaven from the bondage of sin and Satan!

2 Peter 3:13. " Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."
"...NEW..." Grk- KAINOS--fresh- new.

Revelation 21:1. " And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea."   [sea= oceans]

Please read: Revelation 21:10 to Revelation 22:5 with this.....
2 Corinthians 2:9. " For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things."
Psalms 119:158-160. " I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy loving kindness. Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever."

NOTE: so much for men who say the Law is no more we are under grace! {yes, the Ceremonial Law was nailed to His cross, and why we no longer sacrifice animals nor hold the feast days. Jesus BECAME OUR PERFECT AND PERPETUAL, SACRIFICE. HOWEVER GOD'S LAW IS PERPETUAL AND FOREVER!

  Revelation 1:8. " I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty."

Note: Alpha is the Greek first letter in their alphabet, and Omega is the last. Same meaning ass our A to Z.


                                             KEY VERSES FOR HUMANITY

 John 16:33. " These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Note: Christ overcame the world, including Satan's direct interventions. HE did this to show us all that with Him, we also can overcome all sin, thus join Him after our resurrection! 1 John 2:13-14. " I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one"
 Philippians 4:13. " I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
1 John 4:4. "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."
1 John 5:4-6. " For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth."

NOTE: please find in Revelation 2-3 regarding each of the Seven Churches, God used the phrase overcomes, for example Rev. 2:17;- 26- 3:5-12- 21, and find it in ....
Revelation 21:7. " He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son."

NOTE: I pray that you also, dear reader, will get on your knees, and pray to the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, that you also want to be made willing to be willing to surrender self.
My grateful thanks to Pastor H. Premdas for this outline.
