As a Bible believing born-again Christian saved by the blood of Jesus Christ I can truly say thank you to Almighty God for opening my eyes to the truth.
Anyone who does not believe that Jesus is God, must not be aware of the fact that when He; as Jesus walked on this earth over 2000 years ago he preach some amazing prophecies that were fulfilled in times past and present to the letter, and more prophecies yet to be fulfilled in times future. Even His Old Testament prophets spoke of Him in great detail about His first coming and the details of the events that will take place prior to His second coming as recorded in the Holy Bible known as the…
“Awesome and Great Day of the Lord”!
In His time here on earth those words He spoke that would be recorded by His apostles in the pages of the Holy Bible would be revealed to us much later in future time, “that time is now”!
Only God himself the creator of the heavens and the earth and all things that inhabit this world could know the future and what would take place and it’s this loving God who gave His life for us, “His creation” that we could be saved from total destruction and spending and an eternity in hell.
Jesus came to earth to save sinners, all of us born human are sinners from the very moment of birth to the very day we take our last breath and die and no matter how good we think we are if we do not turn to Jesus who paid the price for our redemption by being the perfect sacrifice for the remission of sin, and who is at this very moment very much alive and all knowing and all powerful as He sits in heaven at the right hand of the Father directing all things with the purpose to bring glory to Himself.
We ourselves cannot escape the fact that there is incredible evil within this world, the wars that have been fought throughout history along with current wars today as well future wars that have been prophesied to happen as recorded in the pages of the Bible, are for the purpose to warm us that no matter how hard we, “humanity” try to prevent wars and destruction of human life, we do not have the ability or power to stop it, we haven't in times past and will not in times future.
We die a little bit every day, the earth ages daily in the fact that science sees the earth is terribly out of balance. We see today storms are increasing in magnitude and intensity taking more lives with each storm as the world cries out for help, we see that the evilness of man is the true culprit as we read stories of the most recent catastrophe that has hit the country of Myanmar with not just a cyclone of intense power, also a massive tidal wave that has wiped out an incredible amount of human life, and as the world tries to reach out with humanitarian aid, Myanmar’s government refuses to allow aid workers in to help and has confiscated what aid that has been sent only to be passed out to a small segment of the population with political ramifications as they are more concerned about an election over a constitution than the very fact that their country has been ravaged and people are dying daily due to the most horrible conditions left in the wake of this natural disaster.
As reported by the Associated Press…
“ We have already seen regional commanders putting their names on the side of aid shipments from Asia, saying this was a gift from them and then distributing it in their region,"
As quoted by Mark Farmaner, director of Burma Campaign UK, which campaigns for human rights and democracy in the country.
The United Nations estimated that 1.5 million to 2 million people have been severely affected and has voiced concern about the disposal of bodies.
Despite such obstacles, the United Nations refugee agency sent its first aid convoy by land into Myanmar on Saturday and began airlifting a 110 tons of shelter supplies from its warehouse in Dubai, it said.
Two trucks carrying more than 20 tons of tents and plastic sheets for some 10,000 cyclone victims crossed into the country from northwestern Thailand, said the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
"This convoy marks a positive step in an aid effort so far marked by challenges and constraints," said Raymond Hall, UNHCRs Representative in Thailand. "We hope it opens up a possible corridor to allow more international aid to reach the cyclone victims."
A total of 23 international agencies were providing aid to people in the devastated areas, said Elisabeth Byrs, spokeswoman for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
But a large number of organizations still were awaiting government clearance for more aid shipments, staff and transport.
"It's a race against the clock," Byrs said. "If the humanitarian aid does not get into the country on a larger scale, there's the risk of a second catastrophe," she said, adding that people “could die” from hunger and diseases.
Could die? That is putting it mildly… people are dying!

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age
Matthew 24:3-14 3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Jesus came to this world to warn mankind that just before He would return again this time in great power and glory to take back this world from Satan who is the prince of this world and rules it from the evil hearts of men, that there would be an increase in lawlessness, wars and violence, pestilence and famine along with raging storms upon the seas and the hearts of men would grow colder and selfish towards their fellow man. We would see an increase in earthquakes worldwide; if you were to do a study on the number of earthquakes and their intensity today you would find an increase in the number and magnitude. As well with the intensity of hurricanes, cyclones and tornadoes worldwide as destruction of human life and property would increase just as a woman who goes into labor has birth pangs that increase in intensity just prior to when she gives birth, the same is said by Jesus that these things would happen in the same manner before He would return to this world.

Romans 8:21-23
21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
Those of us who are born-again Christians the true church, the body of believers in Jesus Christ who is the head of the church eagerly await the second coming of our Lord and Savior, we to groan and labor as well to the ever increasing threats of war, calamity, violence and destruction that we see in the world daily. We all know all too well that mankind cannot and will not ever reverse this corruption and decay that we are witnessing at an ever-increasing rate, that only Jesus Christ who is God who is coming back will have the power to reverse “the curse” that plagues mankind and to put an end to all wars, death and destruction.
As we watch the events unfold in the Middle East as Israel's neighbors continue to grow with the increasing collection of weapons and growing hatred with only one purpose but to collectively come against Israel with intent to destroy her and the Jewish race we know from the pages of the Bible that the Lord of hosts, the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, the God of Israel that we Christians know and understand is Jesus Christ, their Messiah and our Savior will return to deal with Israel's enemies.

Gillerman: Iran positioning itself on Israel's northern border
This very evil and unbelieving world that denies Jesus His right as the one true God who has sovereignty over all of mankind, this world and the heavens above throughout the whole universe will be in shock as Jesus will return to save first His church of believers with the rapture of the church, and then the lasts seven years… the beginning of “The Tribulation” to pour out his wrath and judgment upon this corrupt and dying world.
Don't listen to the deceiving wolves in sheep's clothing who state that all religions pray to the same God and that whatever you believe in is okay, for why would a holy and loving God wants you to believe that so many ways lead to him... that only complicates things for…
“Who can choose the right way themselves?”
Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
Destructive Doctrines
2 Peter 2:1-3 1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.
“Why wait till it's too late” , if you don't know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior then cry out in His name and ask Him alone for forgiveness of your sins, He will not refuse or turn you away. You must believe that Jesus is God and that He did die for you on the cross and was buried and rose again on the third day for all to see... only God himself could do this to show mankind that there is eternal life through the name of Jesus alone. |
