Distress of Nations, With Perplexity

Distress of Nations, With Perplexity

Jesus said: “In the Latter Days, there shall be great Distress (anguish or anxiety) among the Nations of the World; involving great Perplexity! (an insolvable disturbing quandry) (Luke 21:25) 

This prophecy of Jesus is in conjunction with the perplexing issue of the Burdensome Stone dynamic that involves the sensitive, highly volatile subject of the sovereignty of Jerusalem! (Zechariah 12)

This whole conflict revolves around the debated issue of who truly and rightfully owns the Promised Land!

Should the present Israel-Gaza war expand into an Israel versus Iran war within Lebanon and Syria, it would likely necessitate the involvement of not only the United States, but also Russia and China! We are definitely in the period of the Rapture Zone of time!

War in Israel

 As many of you are perhaps aware of by now; Israel is at full scale war with the Iranian terror proxy army, Hamas! I have warned of a day like this for 30 years. 

This is a MAJOR situation, that could very easily lead to certain serious imminent prophetic implications! 

I suggest all Christians pray for the “peace of Jerusalem” & for the security of Israel! 

Iran is definitely behind this proxy war! But eyes should be kept on Iran’s other proxy armies in Lebanon and Syria! 

It is way past HIGH TIME that Christian’s awake out of their slumber and realize that their time in this world could be short; and we need to work tirelessly to see our children and friends SAVED, before the times get even more dire!

UFO’s and The Bible

What does the Biblical Record Convey to us concerning today’s UFO (UAP’s) phenomenon? (Part 1)

In any subject concerning mankind; the Bible is the absolute truth in any area that it offers information.

The Bible is Gods word; and of course he is the master planner, architect and creating engineer of all things! 

John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

So if UFO’s do indeed exist; and are originating from beyond our world, still God had to have been involved in the process someway, somehow, either directly, or indirectly by beings that he created. 

Genesis 1 teaches that God created the heavens and the earth before He even created the sun, the moon, or the stars.

Then, in Genesis 2:1-4 God concludes the creation project by adding that the “host” of the heavens (plural) were also brought into being. Then in verse 4, God imparts something very important; “these are the generations of the heavens and of the earth.” 

The word “host” here refers to celestial servants, or angels. The word “generations” utilized here refers to the descending order or history of the overall finished creation project.

Thus, if UFO’s are a real technological creation, they must have as their designer one of the following:

1-God

2-Angels

3-Man

However, there is one other very notable possibility. A hybrid race of humanoids that descended from the cohabitation of fallen angels with human women.

In Biblical and secular history, these beings are known as Nephilim, or giants, or Titans. 

The history of the Nephilim is recorded in Genesis chapter six, and their renown wickedness and legendary technological exploits in our world was the reason for Gods judgment upon the world in the days of Noah’s flood. 

So, it is only from one of these four sources that UFO’s, or other hyper-dimensional travelers in flying craft could possibly emanate. 

Albeit, Our modern world today is preoccupied with the tantalizing prospects of yet another possibility for UFO’s; extra-terrestrials.” 

But in I Corinthians 15:39-40, the great Creator of mankind, the heavens, angels and all things specifically states that there are only two types of created beings: “celestial and terrestrial.” 

That proclamation from God does not allow for the existence of extra-terrestrials! 

An extra-terrestrial is defined as a physical human-like being from outside the earth and perhaps even beyond our galaxy.

The whole UFOology subject coupled with the various theories of evolution, transpermia, reincarnation, ancient aliens and celestial gods; lends much excitement to those who simply cannot accept the word of God as the truth. 

So, back to our original question: Do UFO’s actually exist? Are there visitations to our planet by technologically advanced civilizations?

The Bible is actually replete with documentation about ultra-dimensional visitors to earth. It also records a few instances of “out of this world flying craft of a supernatural technology.”

For instance, the prophet Ezekiel conveys his firsthand impression of a flying craft. Poor Ezekiel had never even seen an airplane, let alone a UFO! 

He described a great whirlwind burning with fire that could move about in any direction at tremendous speeds. He further described its shiny exterior as having Omni-dimensional wheels within its structural design. 

He concluded his narrative by identifying the flying craft with its accompanying Hosts: “it had the appearance and likeness of almighty God.”

So, yes, there is Biblical evidence supporting the idea that God sometimes utilizes a inter-dimensional flying technology unknown to mankind.  

God probably doesn’t have to use technological flying craft, since he is omnipresent, but there is every indication that God often accords Omni-dimensional, hyper-dimensional heavenly craft technology to his angels!

Part 2 follows

What Does the Biblical Record Convey to us Concerning Today’s UFO (UAP) phenomena? (Part 2)

In part one of this essay, I reviewed the fact the UFO’s; if they truly exist, can only have 4 potential sources of utilization. 

1-God

2-Angelic Beings

3-Human Beings

4-Nephilim Hybrids

Another point was that the prospect of UFO type hyper-dimensional flying craft could not be the inventions of extra-terrestrials. 

In this part, I shall review what the Biblical Record reveals concerning the Celestial beings that inhabit the heavens. 

First, we need to recognize that the Bible conveys the fact that there are three levels of the Heavens. 

A-The first Heaven is simply the sky, or expanse of the arch of space around the Earth itself.

B-The second degree level of Heaven is the vast, stretched out expanse of the cosmos; which we commonly call outer space.

C-The third realm of Heaven is the place of Gods throne, which is beyond and outside of the total creation. Isaiah 14:3 describes this heavenly place as far above the stars in the sides of the ultimate north. 

The subject of UFO’s and ultra-dimensional travel ultimately comes down to (if not extra-terrestrial) the prospect of Angelic transportation systems.

Could it be possible that celestial beings are involved in the phenomena of UFO’s?

To answer this question, we must again look into the Biblical record for clues. Therein, we readily find that Angels have often visited our world. 

This research however must delve deeply into the nature and purposes of the Angels; the holy ones and particularly the Fallen ones!

While the Bible clearly denotes the Divine visits of the angels Gabriel and Michael to the earth, the Bible also records the visitation of “Fallen Angels” to the Earth. 

The first intervention of a Fallen Angel centers on Lucifer; who came into Eden and stole away the terrestrial dominion-ship of mankind over the earth and also the second level of Heaven.

Jesus even alluded to the fall of the great Rebel in Luke 10:18, where he describes Satan as falling like lightning from Heaven. 

This epic account undoubtedly resulted from the hyper-dimensional War that he ignited in Heaven. (Rev. 12:7-8) That war involves a contingent of 1/3 of the created angels of Heaven joining Satan in his campaign against the God of Heaven.

So then, we must ascertain what is the power of Satan these fallen comrades, not only on a spiritual level; but also in regards to their tactics in warfare and the technology they might have in carrying forth that war.  

Ephesians 6:12 reveals that the “fallen enemy” has exceptional powers in the “high places,” a reference to the first and second levels of Heaven.

Ephesians 2:2 describes Satan, the old dominion usurper, as being the “prince of the power of the air.” 

The word for prince of the air utilized here is the word “aero,archon” which denotes that he has “mastery” over aeronautical space. 

Furthermore, Isaiah 24:21 depicts Satan and his angelic-demon rebels as the “high ones” that occupy the area that we know as our cosmos. 

In II Kings 6:16-17 Elisha was permitted a rare opportunity to visibly look upon the angels (both good & bad) in the unseen world. Elisha had seen “chariots of fire” before and knew that the angels of the Lord traveled about in ultra-supernatural aircraft. 

Therefore, we can easily find support in the Bible for the prospect of angels, or celestial beings (good and bad) having the capability of flying! 

Next; the question becomes; do angels utilize a much higher technology than is known to mankind for traversing our universe and even penetrating more realms than just our earthly dimension?

Part 3 follows

What Does the Biblical Record Convey to us Concerning Today’s UFO (UAP) phenomena? (Part 3)

Is it just a coincidence that 20 and 21st century mankind is heavily invested into reconnecting to the gods of the past; or what some philosophers prefer to call a reconnection to our heavenly ancestors?

Our Modern “anti-Biblical God” society is desperately searching the heavens for ET’s and hopefully achieving a cosmic quantum leap into a New World Order. 

The modern UFO phenomena began, interestingly enough, in 1947. That was the year that the UN mandated that a place for a Jewish homeland be established in ancient Israel. 

This epic turn of worldly events seemed to cause an explosion in UFO sightings. It has further mystified the military powers around the world, causing each nation to be cautious in their public analysis of these unexplainable flying super-high tech other world craft. 

Recently, one by one, nations around the world are divulging what they know or don’t know about UFO’s, or UAP’s as they are now described. 

It’s almost as if they are preparing the public and the whole world for an extraordinary event. 

The Bible may actually record just such a dramatic event of supernatural proportions that the leaders of the world in the Last Days will cooperate in bringing to pass. 

II Thessalonians 2: 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

9. Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.

As he always has in his epic warfare against God, Satan is plotting how to counter Gods plans for this world. 

Since God has miraculously returned a remnant of Jews to the ancient Promised Land, Satan realizes that he must logistically prepare to use all the forces under his control to upstage Gods plans to return his Son, Jesus Christ to the world. 

Included in Satan’s warfare tactics is a strategy to “deceive the whole world” into aligning with him by causing the world to accept his Anti-Christ, otherwise known as the “seed of the serpent.” 

Numerous Bible proclamations depict the fascinating powers and miracles that Satan will succeed in foisting upon an unsuspecting world. 

It is becoming increasingly apparent to me that Satan and his angels are using “other worldly” technology, not only to travel to earth, but also to redeploy for the same tactics he utilized in the Days of Noah! 

Matthew 24:37 specifically compares the world in the time of Noah to be repeated in the Last Days of this age.

This strategy is similar to the tactics employed to produce the ancient Nephilim, significantly using his angels and demons, and perhaps their aeronautical and biological exploits to seduce the world into welcoming a Cosmic Christ; as God! 

The “Great Delusion” could well involve the “high ones” preparing the way and perpetrating the actual event of the arrival of Antichrist.

Give Me Oil For My Lamp

Give Me Oil for My Lamp

Each night, anymore, as I turn down the lights, lie down in my bed & begin to sense the dark quietness around me; the spirit of God stirring within my soul ignites a feeling that I could literally meet the Lord in the air at any moment! 

Then, I say to myself: “Lord, I must keep my Lamp lit!”

Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning.

Give me oil in my lamp, I pray.

Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning.

Keep me burning till the break of day.

Matthew 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 

5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6 ¶ And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

What Exactly is The Blessed Hope?

What exactly is the “Blessed Hope?”

Hope is a word that causes emotional optimism. We all thrive on Hope! So what about a “Blessed” Hope? The word blessed can mean “happy” or “beneficial”; for our hope is “blessed” in that Jesus’ return will, for us, be an amazing, joyful experience for the believer in Christ.

The idea of a “Blessed Hope” as used in the Bible has a significant special inference for Christians that are alive and remaining in the climactic “Last Days.”

Titus 2:11-13 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

12. Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

13. Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ;

This passage unmistakably identifies the “blessed hope” as the glorious appearing of Jesus Christ, our great God and Savior. The word hope does not communicate uncertainty, as in “I hope that something might occur”; rather, it is the “glad assurance” that something will absolutely take place.

The “blessed hope,” then, is the joyful assurance that God will extend His benefits to the generation alive and remaining in the day that Jesus Christ will return. 

We are waiting for this event now. Jesus said He would return (John 14:3), the angels said He would return (Acts 1:11), and the epistles say He will return. Jesus could come back at any time for His church, This event is called the rapture. 

Should this blessed hope of Christ’s any-time return have an effect on the believer in Jesus Christ? John wrote, “All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as [Jesus] is pure” (1 John 3:3).

The believers of the Last Days that are anticipating Christ’s blessed return; will seek to live in the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit, a life of purity; and earnest expectations of his imminent appearance! 

Jesus’ imminent return should motivate the believer to live godly in an ungodly world. The word looking in Titus 2:13 is the key for that to happen. To be “looking” means that we live each day in continual anticipation and expectancy, with the conviction that Jesus could come at any time. The blessed hope brings us joy and cheers us through the trials of this world; but especially so as we see the "Day of the Lord" approaching!

The idea of the commencement of "Day of the Lord" which time wise is synonymous with the onset of the "Great Tribulation" can cause fear and anxiety for many people. The idea of the "Blessed Hope" and its relationship to the Rapture are intended to encourage every Christian in the Last Days!

2 Peter 3:10-12 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.

11. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

The word "Hasting" in verse 12 of II Peter chapter 3 comes from the Greek word "Speudonatas," which infers that Last Days Christians who are alive at the time of the climax of the signs of the times, should take courage at those things coming to pass in the world; since in essence, it literally highlights the nearness of our Lord's Coming, and our Gathering unto him, Forever!

National Hell

National Hell

Do you ever get the feeling that our once god-fearing country has developed an outright hatred for God? I sure do! Surely I am not the only one sensing this prevailing national evil.

I sense it everywhere I look in our nation anymore! In every public venue, whether it be in politics, in movies, in music, the media, our courts, television & our government; I see a benign mysterious dark super-force at work against God, his church and true Christianity! 

Jesus forewarned us of such times as these! He said the world hated him! That hatred is real in our country today! 

(John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that “it hated me before it hated you.”

19. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, “thus the world hates you”)

There is an obvious war being waged on Christianity in our nation! It causes me to reflect upon the fact that any nation that abandons God, after having had a previous relationship with him, shall be turned into Hell. 

(Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell & all the nations that forget God) 

Obviously, only unsaved people can ever go to Hell. Nations can’t go to Hell. Nations must be judged during the course of the process of time. The Hell that comes to nations often comes in the following forms! 

For nations that forget God, they will find social chaos, violence, crime, lawlessness, poverty, drugs, sexual perversion and diseases, pestilences, ignorance, border invasions, corruption, inflation, decline & moral decay in their land!

I think all the symptoms in our nation points out the fact that our precious homeland is in big trouble; with God!

Praying With Power

Praying With Power

To have the most profound blessings and responses to our prayers; we need to pray with the following 3 things fully practiced!


(James 5:16 The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.) 

Note:


Effectual-Start by honoring God in your approach to him. Confess your failures. Beg his forgiveness. Then cite scriptures detailing his love and promises to be with you and help you!


Fervent-Be passionate, constant, talk to him plainly, state the matter of your heart. 


Righteous-Clean up your life, fear God, practice what he teaches in your life! 


Praying with these 3 things taken care of equals the reality that YOUR prayers will not only be heard, but will AVAIL all the agency of God to work toward the success of your prayers; dependent always upon if they match his Will! 


(Point A) God’s will of course is for all to be saved & to remain in steadfast fellowship with him! 


(Point B) God never imposes His Will onto anybody; over their freedom to exercise their own Will! 


(Point C) For any person to ever overcome Satan and his agency, “they” must Submit to Gods Will.


James 4:7 “Submit yourselves therefore to God.” Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

 

(Point D) “No person,” and especially a person struggling with the wiles of the Devil can “Resist” the Devil of their own power and ability! 


(Point E) The Devil will never “FLEE” a person that is not “submitted” totally to God! 


(Point F) The sustenance for submitting to God and resisting the Devil begins by “Abiding” close to God, his word, or His people, or agents of assistance!


James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.


John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall “ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”


(Point G) In praying for those that you love or are burdened for: remember to first make yourself “free in conscience before God!” This is accomplished by humility and daily rededication! 


(Point H) Secondly, pray to God to maintain the agency of the “convicting & drawing” power of the Holy Spirit around your person of concern!


(Point I) Request that God use the function. Of the Holy Spirit to arrange specially talented and called “ministers, counselors, care-givers, compassionate agents” to be sent into the circle of your special person you are praying for! 


(Point J) Continue to Thank God for his patience, for his ear, and all of his blessings! Be ever Thankful to God! This attitude pleases Him & it will “sustain” your favor with Gods listening compassion!!


(Point K) All your prayers will be rewarded; somehow, someway; someday! We never know when or how! Our requests may not even become a reality in the persons, that we are burdened for; “but our prayers will Always become a source of contentment” with a clean Conscience in the end!




(Point L) Lastly, “without your effectual, fervent prayers to God”; your person, or problem of concern is on their own, literally defenseless! 


I John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:


(Point M) Always Remember, God knows the best way to approach your problem and will handle it with the utmost wisdom!
