The Last Days: Is your Salvation Secured

Most Christians who understand and read the Bible on a regular basis are aware that we are in the final generation. Some Christians do not want to think about it or believe that we are in the final days. However, for those who are aware, they have come to the realization that—this is it and now is the time to secure salvation with the Lord. Now, the Bible clearly says that no man, not even the angels of heaven, will know when the day of the Lord is. As stated in Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” However, the Lord has promised us season and signs, and when we see those signs we know that the end is near. Those who have an ear to hear and the ability to understand are fully aware that the day of the Lord is at hand.

Some may say, “I don't think we're in the last days?” Unfortunately, those are the people who will more than likely be mislead, and deceived in the coming end times. God needs his elect, chosen, and called to stand against Satan in the last days. With each passing year we get further and further and further away from God's word. However, God's prophecy must be fulfilled and it is up to his elect, chosen, and called to plant the seed when there is an opportunity. To those that have an ear to hear their seed will grow, for others it will fall by the wayside. What a joy in knowing that heaven rejoices when another soul has been saved.

For faithful Christians, the sound of the Seventh Trump is good news. Hooray! The return of Jesus! Finally, a world full of peace: No sorrow, no hunger, no murder, no strife, no war, no confusion, no darkness, no jealousy, no tears, just peace and everlasting harmony with our Lord. Subsequently, the Seventh Trump also is the beginning of God's wrath, when the Seven Last Plagues are poured upon those individuals who rejected God's word.

Luke 13:24 states “Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” When we read this verse we read that many will seek to enter into the kingdom. It doesn't say, “Many will enter in.” When we take an honest and mature look we notice one thing about this verse. If many are seeking to enter in and shall not be able, that only leaves one conclusion—many are going to hell and only a few will inherit the kingdom of God.

It is imperative in these days, the final days, that we study God's word and not just say, “I believe.” How can a faithful Christian walk in righteousness if they don't know, or care to know, what is considered unrighteousness? Many Christians will believe the notion because they are good, and do good acts for people every now and again, that they are heaven bound. However, if that were the case not only would that conclude that Jesus' suffering and death was done in vain, but also Luke 13:24 would read much differently. Rather it would state that a few would seek to enter in. A lot of today's Christians are fooling themselves by sticking with, and adhering to, the traditions of man and not God's word.

In closing, a lot of Christians only read the Bible when they have a scripture to look up, or when the minister has said, “Open your Bible to verse...” Thus, a lot of Christians are staying faithful to watching their favorite television show, which nine times out of ten, they would not watch with Jesus sitting beside them. It's not what an individual does, it is what they fail to do, that will inadvertently assist them in missing the mark toward everlasting life. Many will miss the mark from a lack of knowledge. There will be a lot of good Christians in hell. Remember, when the books are open, and after the teaching in the millennium has been completed, at that point, you will only be judged on your righteous acts. You don't want your unrighteous acts to outweigh your righteous acts. But, you can only know what is unrighteous and displeasing to God by reading his word, not by following the traditions of man.

The Book of Revelation: Apocalypse

The following is a very short synopsis on the Book of Revelation.

Revelation or the Apocalypse means in Greek, the unveiling or uncovering. Revelation is a Book for those who have an ear to hear, and the ability to read with understanding. Not taking away from, or adding to the verses or chapters. The Book of Revelation is a marvelous account of how the end of days are going to be.


The most fascinating aspect about our heavenly Father is—he keeps his word. Everything that our Father has said, or promised has and will come to pass. He never says, “maybe this will happen,” or “maybe I'll do that.” No, our Father Yahweh keeps his word.

We also read in the Book of Revelation how the majority of churches have gone astray from God's/Yahweh's reality of his church. We recognize and understand that our Father is not pleased with the majority of the churches. However, he gives us two examples of the churches that he is pleased with Smyrna and Philadelphia, and what rewards will be given to those churches in heaven. He also lets us know what displeases him regarding the other five churches, giving them a remedy to successfully change in order to inherit the kingdom of God/Yahweh. Although it is clearly stated that judgment begins in the pulpit, those who have an ear to hear, and the ability to understand, will recognize when they are not being spiritually fed and will study and read God's/Yahweh's letter accordingly. Therefore, when judgment does enter the church they will be among those few who have been pleasing and acceptable in God's/Yahweh's eyes.

It is clearly stated that God/Yahweh will shield his faithful children through the horrific destruction and God's/Yahweh's wrath mentioned throughout Revelation. There has been much controversy concerning the whereabouts of Mystery Babylon, the country that will experience God's/Yahweh's wrath in one hour. Through the signs, characteristics and descriptions, a lot would agree that America is Mystery Babylon; however, we will not know until that time arrives. But we do know that our Father is fair and just in his judgments. Those who have lived holy and righteously will be rewarded in heaven having their robes made white in the blood of the Lamb. 

Only a few will enter into our heavenly Father's kingdom. Some will have the ability to be taught during the millennium; however, once those thousand years have passed, they will only be judged according to their righteous works. Today, it is so easy for good Christians to miss the mark. That is why it is imperative that we read and study God's/Yahweh's word, his letter sent to us, in order to have a relationship with our heavenly Father. On judgment day we want to hear, “Well done,” not “I never knew you.”

What a glorious world this would be if everyone lived according to our heavenly Father's Word; thus, we know that his prophecy must be fulfilled. However, it is a glorious time for God's/Yahweh's faithful servants, having the knowledge that during this last generation, which we are in, that we are shielded and protected by the Blood of the Lamb. Shalom. 

Part 1 of 5: What Every Catholic Needs To Know About Hell



 

Hell is called Sheol in Hebrew and Hades in Greek. Hell is a reality. It a place of great darkness, and total separation from our heavenly Father. It a physical place where souls will be tormented in a Lake of Fire that is reserved for the devil and his angels. Please understand that hell is not a place or subject that was conjured up in order to make individuals praise our heavenly Father. He is not going to make anybody love, thank and praise him. God wants us all to be sincere. He wants sincere love and gratitude. So the question is, “Why do people end up in hell?” Most will end up in hell for a lack of knowledge and for rejecting the Bible.

The above documentary was created by EWTN. Describing hell from a Catholic point of view.

Daily Thanks and Praise

After arising in the morning most individuals have a routine. After awakening some go to the restroom,  wash their face, brush their teeth, take a shower, then start the day. No matter what the person does each morning, for the most part, the routine is pretty much the same. Most individuals rarely take the time to acknowledge and give thanks to our heavenly Father for even allowing us to observe another day, or protecting and shielding us throughout the night, or for keeping us healthy and strong in order to arise in the morning. It is very imperative to keep our heavenly Father in our thoughts before we retire, and when we arise. He doesn't ask for much, he really doesn't.

There are many Christians who will miss the mark because they have let the cares, lusts and worries of the world wrap arond their lives and their thoughts. They have become weighed down with employment, appearance, new homes, fancy cars, reality shows, talk shows, and so much more.

Let's ponder for a moment. There are 168 hours in a week, and there are seven days in a week. A lot of Christians only give our heavenly Father one to three hours on Saturday or Sunday, one day a week, and a select few will go to an evening service during the week. However, most attend those evening services because they've missed or will be missing the Saturday or Sunday service. But what about the other days? Is our heavenly Father not worthy? Or have people become too busy?

It's not too late to begin a faithful relationship with our heavenly Father. God loves all of his children; however, he is fair and just in all of his punishments. Only a few will enter into our heavenly Father's kingdom. That means many will be turned away. Today, it is so easy for good Christians to miss the mark. Luke 13:24 states, "Strive to enter in at the strait gait: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able." That is why it is imperative that we read and study God's word, his letter sent to us, in order to have a relationship with our heavenly Father. As with any relationship you have to build upon the relationship. Christians cannot honestly say, "Yes, I'm saved," and only spend a few hours a week with God. On judgment day we want to hear, “Well done,” not “I never knew you.”

Arise with our heavenly Father, before your feet touch the floor, thank him and praise him. What a wonderful day you will have and what a wonderful routine to begin. Knowing that the presence of Jehovah Shammah has saturated your life.
