Are you ready for a world cataclysmic event? I have said expect the unexpected in the days we live in. Everyday news shows this to be true. This has become precarious for believers/conservatives (2 Tim.3:1) who face a moral culture change that reverses the Judaic Christian traditions in our society, as the majority of what is being promoted is amoral. Before Christ’s first coming the demonic activity was increased on earth, this is how we know his 2nd coming is near, this same activity has increased dramatically. There is time to keep quiet and a time to speak, there is a time for peace and there is a time for war (Eccl.3:1-8), we are in the latter time. We are experiencing a spiritual war on the morals we once lived by, what was ingrained in us as our nature, from beginning, made in the image of God. This is a war of light against darkness. Light has never been the majority but it has never been in the minority in our countries history as it is today. We must speak up and become active to the challenges before there is no time to speak as we relinquish our ability to speak and have our God given freedoms taken apart piece by piece. We are in a post constitutional America where the original laws are bypassed or ignored. Laws of our founding that were based on the Judeo/ Christian values and principles. What do you think will happen next to those who uphold these values? History repeats itself, we have already seen this take place. For to those who do not know history, they will not be aware of this repeat. Among the chaos, the travail and sadness evil is increasing. Along with it is deception that may be life threatening, spiritually and physically. Can an EMP be released from an enemy or by mistake or a solar flare from the sun? a geomagnetic reversal of the poles. What if we were find out that we have been dosed with poison? Our food or water being affected? Or a genuine natural climate change event. Or another virus becomes rampant that is actually more deadly. Or the constant impending threat of nuclear weapons to be used. What if there is a false flag of UFO’s that will try to convince us they are space brothers but our enemies that will take over. Some what ifs that are spoken of are ridiculous but others are real and can actually take place. There is no limits to the deceptiveness of people in our day for we are living in a Gen. 6 era of which we are told by Jesus will be, as in the days of Noah. Where imagination of men’s hearts were CONTINUALLY evil, and violence was the result. The question to all is, are you prepared. I do not mean just physically, but spiritually, and mentally. Discuss the stage of history we are in with your loved ones as “evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.”(2 Tim. 3:13-14) As the world moves forward to it climatic end, they will soon enter a time unlike any other. It will be chaotic, noisy, tumultuous, as they reject their only savior (Ps.2:1-3). How much time do we have? God will decide when these things will be; “when the Lamb opened one of the seals” (Rev. 6:1). Once this unsealing takes place, there is no returning to what was before. The Bible has the answers for all of this, we have been told what will take place in our day and our future. As Jesus warned a number of times “See, I have told you beforehand.” We see in John’s account in the closing of Scripture the greatest of angelic creatures God made, Cherubim and Seraphim, with the 24 elders who worship the lamb who is the lion of Judah, Rev. 4:5-6 “Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.” What is this sacred scene? We go back a few chapters for the explanation. Rev. 1:16 “in His right hand seven stars”Vv.12-13 “having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man.” V. 1:20 “The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.” The Menorah is a Hebrew word for Lamp, i.e. the 7 branched golden candelabra that was the light in the holy of holies, Gods holy Temple in Israel (Exod.25:37). The Church is the living temple with us, the living stones that are built into the church. There are seven churches described by John in the vision he sees. Each church is indicative of the qualities of the church has throughout the ages and in our day. Ephesus: A church that had abandoned its first love for Christ (Rev 2:4). Are we to be Smyrna: The church that faces severe persecution (Rev. 2:10). Are we Pergamum: The church that need repentance of sin (Rev. 2:16) Are we like Thyatira: led away by a false prophetess (Rev. 2:20). Are we like Sardis: A church asleep who needs to wake up (Revelation 3:2). Or are we as Laodicea: The church that indicative in our age, that is lukewarm in its ways (Rev. 3:16). Or are we as Philadelphia, who has a little strength; the only church commended to have “have kept My word, and have not denied My name” (Rev. 3:10). They are promised to kept from this time of testing that will come upon the whole world. As we return to Rev. 5:6-7 John sees “ a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.” The time has come, He takes the scroll out of the right hand of Hand of him who sits on the throne and the lamb opens the seals and the time that the world has feared has now come.1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear.” This idea of ‘perfect’ is a completion, to be mature; in faith. We trust him that is the guardian of our souls. We may lose our life, “For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it.” (Mark 8:35) Let us hold to the gospel, His Word of Truth as the foretold events unfold.
