Shalom, I have had Sunday and this morning to ponder on the word of God and the truth of his scriptures and this has driven me to ask everyone, Are you ready truly ready for his return ?? I sat in Church yesterday and heard two different versions of the gospel in less than an hour. Yesterday was the celebration of the new facility that was built here in my local and yesterday was the official ribbon cutting and all of the head assemblies of God administrators were there at this ten million dollar facility and so there were guest speakers from the administration and so I got to hear two very different versions of the gospel. To me a regular person I was taken aback by the two different versions coming right out of the administrations mouths. The first man spoke of the last day resurrection and he went on to say how the graves first and headstones would be overturned as the very body that died would be raised and taken to Heaven "" NOTE"" Our fleshly bodies are born corrupt and cannot enter heaven and this is why Yeshua says in a twinkling of an eye we will be transformed ! We get a new spiritual body the corrupt body was transformed and the dead shall be raised incorruptible as is taught in scripture
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (KJV)
So here is a different gospel being taught because the dead shall rise but will rise with the new bodies that we were taught about and not the flesh which we live in right now. Then the second speaker got up and taught and part of what he taught was the Rapture and in his speech he felt it made no difference whether you believed in Pre trib rapture or mid trib rapture and again here is another gospel where they teach Christ comes back on the QT and takes his people out BUT this was started out of the pulpit in the 1800's and for some reason people just grasped this as the true gospel and still do to this very day despite the Bibles teaching that the last day is when Christ takes his people and this clearly says that we all shall ride the storm known as the tribulation and then we who survive the great tribulation will be taken by our Lord. So I ask again are you ready ?? There is but one true Gospel so do you follow it or do you adhere to what is taught from the pulpit though it be false. God speaks about ministers inheriting what they have earned. BUT getting back to the time when Christ takes his own back the teaching clearly says we will be here to the very end as scripture below clearly says.
1Th 4:17 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. (KJV)
Much like the days of Noah we will also be protected but we will be witnesses to the last days of mankind and mans brutality to man and women and we will see mankind at his worst.
All the signs are around us telling us time is so severely short now and one of Satan's henchmen is in a seat of power on earth (America is the most powerful nation on earth) Do you truly have the ability to as they say discern the true gospel from the misleading gospel ?? Can you separate truth from mans spin concerning the gospel ?? Do you celebrate Easter ?? If you do you give the false goddess Ester by far to much credit. We must never honor any false Gods
Ex 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Ex 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
This also pertains to following false gospels for there is only one true gospel and this is what we are to follow for the price of following the wrong gospel could mean eternal separation from our Lord. We must be aware that ole slew foot is out there and is using the pulpit to generate a many false gospels. We must read our word and find God's truths and step away from misleading instruction from the pulpits and trusting what God teaches you thru his word. We must even watch some of those translations available out there for the re wording can certainly teach you something other than what God has taught. How many Christians teach Santa Clause to their children ?? What a way to begin a young mind by lying to them till they get old enough to see thru the lie. God is going to teach us even if we resist for as this bad time continues to get worse many will start to cry out ABBA why !!! We are going to see a continued decline in the global economy and no matter how much money is thrown at it nothing is going to fix it for God is showing man he has done all these things in vain. Man will suffer as he thinks he is the answer to all these woes BUT the true answer is global repentance of sin and grabbing hold of God and his truths. God is going to teach us mankind that he is in control and for the Christian this says the end is in sight and soon we will behold the face of our Lord and Savior Yeshua. I like I have said before feel the end will be 2012 but there are others who say a lot sooner one man I know feels 2011 is it. BUT while we watch these global communities meet over the global financial crisis and the growth of the new Roman empire the European United States and the new rise to power of the Soviet Union and Iran's ability to wreak destruction with the use of ICBM's and China who would love the opportunity to attack our nation and our new president who is ready to lay down our arms and weapons and leave us open for destruction and add to that Obama is secretly starting a war with Hebrew writers over their stance with his presidency and add to that we are seeing water tables rise and many nations are getting submerged and earthquakes daily even though they no longer really make news headlines and outlandish weather and families living in tent cities and famine growing and new diseases making themselves known we have to realize the end is in sight ! Are you truly ready ?? Do you truly known the true Gospel and the real Lord and not the many different versions taught in the many churches.
Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. -Matthew 5:21-22
"Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake Thy law." --Psalm 119:53
My soul, feelest thou this holy shuddering at the sins of others? for otherwise thou lackest inward holiness. David's cheeks were wet with rivers of waters because of prevailing unholiness; Jeremiah desired eyes like fountains that he might lament the iniquities of Israel, and Lot was vexed with the conversation of the men of Sodom. Those upon whom the mark was set in Ezekiel's vision, were those who sighed and cried for the abominations of Jerusalem. It cannot but grieve gracious souls to see what pains men take to go to hell. They know the evil of sin experimentally, and they are alarmed to see others flying like moths into its blaze. Sin makes the righteous shudder, because it violates a holy law, which it is to every man's highest interest to keep; it pulls down the pillars of the commonwealth. Sin in others horrifies a believer, because it puts him in mind of the baseness of his own heart: when he sees a transgressor he cries with the saint mentioned by Bernard, "He fell to-day, and I may fall to-morrow."
Sin to a believer is horrible, because it crucified the Saviour; he sees in every iniquity the nails and spear. How can a saved soul behold that cursed kill-Christ sin without abhorrence? Say, my heart, dost thou sensibly join in all this? It is an awful thing to insult God to His face. The good God deserves better treatment, the great God claims it, the just God will have it, or repay His adversary to his face. An awakened heart trembles at the audacity of sin, and stands alarmed at the contemplation of its punishment. How monstrous a thing is rebellion! How direful a doom is prepared for the ungodly! My soul, never laugh at sin's fooleries, lest thou come to smile at sin itself. It is thine enemy, and thy Lord's enemy--view it with detestation, for so only canst thou evidence the possession of holiness, without which no man can see the Lord.
Ephesians6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Romans 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
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.
