Verse of the Week
The righteous falling down before the wicked is like a fouled fountain
and a ruined spring.
(Proverbs 25:26)
Thought for the Week
It seems it would be safe to say that
almost every age since the time of Jesus has thought they would be the one to
see his second coming. Sometimes this belief was based on faulty numerical
calculations but more often than not it seems a sense of widespread evil and
calamity gave rise to the belief, if not hope, that the end was near. Now too
is such a time.
The media is chock full of folks
touting the end is near and even though it is an old song it may behoove us to
examine what, if anything, makes this generation different from those that came
before. It does not take a bible scholar to see that a key prophecy relating to
Israel did not come to pass until the middle of the last century. That single
issue separates recent generations from all who "cried wolf" in times
gone by.
Next I would point to Jesus' own words
regarding the times being "as the days of Noah". It is safe to say
that never before has the world seen homosexuality as widespread as today.
Never before has homosexuality had a superpower forcing its acceptance on a
world-wide basis. For those that would point to Rome they should remember that
Rome actually had very little influence on the world outside of the
"West". Rome never influenced the majority of Asia or Africa and none
of the Americas. The US, on the other hand, is influencing the entire world -
and it is doing so in a very evil manner.
The US is
becoming the world's biggest hypocrite as nations go; and, it is paying a price
for this evil and hypocrisy. The US itself is dying because of this evil and because
the people of the US, as a whole, no longer have the courage to stand up
against evil. Europe is experiencing the same catastrophe and for many of the
same reasons.
As nation-states
weaken and the UN grows stronger we draw closer to the potential for the
"one world government" envisioned by many referred to in Revelation.
We also see that Islam is rapidly expanding on a global scale - second only to
humanism (not Christianity). Ironically we also see resurgence in the number of
folks turning away from the false doctrines of many so called Christian
churches and seeking the true path to life as set forth by YHWH.
Only YHWH knows
when He will send His Son again. At this point all we can do is serve the best
we can. We must keep our faith and spread the knowledge that salvation is from
YHWH only and was never achievable by a manmade government. In times past there
may have been at least one place in the world the children of YHWH were free to
worship Him in peace. I know of no such place in the world today. Only Israel
offers that freedom to its citizens but with most of the world seeking the
destruction of Israel one could hardly say Israel can worship in peace.
The US, once a
bastion of freedom for the worship of YHWH, has now joined the world in
persecuting the children of YHWH. The US has indeed become a wellspring of
corruption and is polluting the world. If Jesus does not come soon the end of
the US will. The US will pay for the
evil it is forcing upon its people and the world. The wrath of YHWH against the
US is coming soon - whether by the hand of Jesus or the hand of man. Are you
ready?
The one testifying
these things says, Yes, I am coming quickly. Amen. Yes, come, Lord Jesus!
(Revelation
22:20)
Quote of the Week
There
is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, more dangerous to
manage, than the creation of a new system. -- Niccolo
Machiavelli
Comment: The
new system of government created at the founding of the US is, after just a
historically brief blip on the radar of time, coming to an end. Hopefully, for our children’s sake, our Lord
will come quickly.
Did You Know
Saul of Tarsus and Herod were Jewish
by affiliation, not by blood. In Herod's case his grandfather had converted to
Judaism. Herod was only the king of the Jews because the Romans appointed him
as such. Herod even had a temple built to a roman “god”. Herod was a killer
thru and thru, even before the murder of the innocents. He had his wife tried
and executed. He had three of his own sons executed, and it is believed he had
a high priest, whom he had himself appointed, drowned because he got too
popular.
Habiru: a term
from between 1800 BC and 1100 BC, sometimes translated as wanderer, is
believed by some to be the name for the people who later became known as
Hebrews.
If
ever one wanted proof YHWH is color blind consider that there are more Nations
in Africa fighting against the scourge of homosexuality than there are States
in the US with the courage to wage the same fight.
