Whose Side Are You On?
Whose side are you on? As my friend Doug Small said there is no “Neutrality” with God. By these latest headlines, whether you believe the prophets or not, Jesus is coming very soon for his bride, (Luke 21:34-36, 1Thess.4:13-18) that is called the rapture of both the dead saints and living saints, you will be made a believer any day now, after Jesus who promised this glorious event, takes place. To all the (2Pet.3:3-10) scoffers who are saying where is the promise of his coming, it will a reality but for you will be among all those left behind.
Russia has sent a message to Israel as soon as they crossed into Lebanon “to immediately withdraw its forces from Southern Lebanon.” Turkey’s leader Erdogan said “Israel will be stopped, sooner or later. Turkey has also recommended use of force over Israeli attacks in Lebanon. Erdogan said General Assembly should act if the security council doesn’t.” Whatever you may think that you will just continue to be neutral, you will very soon be faced with two choices, as it has always been, God or the Devil, Jesus or the Antichrist. Everything has changed since Oct.7th last year, when Hamas murdered 1200 Israeli’s. One year later the headlines read after over 180 Ballistic Missiles were fired from Iran. IDF spokesman Daniel Hagai said “We will act at the place and time of our choosing, in accordance with the guidance of the Political echelon-tonight’s event will have consequences.”
Benjamin Netanyahu “Iran made a big mistake tonight-and it will pay for it. The regime in Iran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves and our determination to retaliate against our enemies.” Another Israeli official warned “what Iran has suffered so far is only a fraction of what it will face now.” Former prime minister Naftali Bennett said the Islamic Republic “made a terrible mistake” this evening. “Israel has now its greatest opportunity in 50 years, to change the face of the Middle East. We must act now to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, its central energy facilities, and to fatally cripple this terrorist regime.” Now whether you can trust the Biden Administration or not to do anything he has said, said “If the Iranians launched missiles at Israel there would be “severe consequences.” This should be a wake=up call to the world, but Micheal Snyder said “for the moment most of the population still appears to be in a very deep state of sleep.”
No wonder Paul wrote in Rom.13:11-12 “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; (spiritual sleep) for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.”`
If you claim to be a Christian, and you don’t believe that Jesus is coming, you are not watching and praying, you will be among the lukewarm, Rev.3:16 “Jesus will spue out of his mouth” into the most horrible time on earth, the likes this world (Matt.24:21, Mar.13:19) has never seen or will ever see again. Sadly, you are like the captain of the ship just before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, when a Petty Officer reported to his Lieutenant that he saw a large fleet of planes coming toward Pearl Habor and the Lieutenant’s response was don’t worry about.
Sadly, this is much of the church world. The pastors are most like those in Isaiah’s time in 56:10 “His watchmen are blind, they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yea they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand they all look to their own way, everyone for his gain, from his quarter. Come ye, say they, let us get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink: and tomorrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.”
God forbid that I should throw any stones, this is no time to be neutral. It is time to pray, and cry aloud the message of repentance. Cry it from every mountain top, and in the valley to be rapture ready, and witness to everyone who has an ear to hear, Isa.61:2 that “the day of vengeance of our God … (is upon us) to comfort all that mourn.” Nows the time, 2Pet.1:10 “to make your calling and election sure…”
