From The Pastor’s Desk

A Day of thanks, for the 20 living hostages released. Interestingly 20 in Bible numerics means redemption and the 28 bodies returned which means eternal life. This may be a coincidence to some, but to me with all the signs converging at this time nothing is a coincidence.

Is the true God of Israel, sending another message, to the world, that Israel’s God is the only God, who has eternal life, and that man’s redemption can only be found in the crucified Lord Jesus, who arose from the death on the third day, victoriously over death, hell and the grave. Ascended into heaven to carry out the will, and give eternal life, to as many (2Cor.7:10) in godly sorrow, and repentance, (Joh.1:12) who would receive him as their Lord.

I also have a very uneasy feeling in my spirit. Consider a few scriptures and maybe you will understand why. Isa.48:22 “There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.” Also in 57:21 “There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.” As the President stated this morning, which I believe is coming from his spiritual advisor (by the way) we are not entering into the “Golden Age.”

Paul speaking to the Thessalonian Church in 1 Thess. 4:13-18 about the loved ones of those who had fallen asleep in the Lord and at the trump of God, rising from the dead and the living saints being caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then he said to, “comfort one another with these words.”

Thank God for this blessed hope. But Paul also says in chapter 5:1-6 “But of the times and seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they say, (not the we, but they) peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh them, (not we, but them) as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are the children of light and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep, as do others: but let us watch and be sober.”

Micheal Synder said, “In order for peace to be taken, a state of peace must exist first.” Now there seems to be a sense of peace in the air, but from the words of the Apostle Paul, it won’t be too long, before peace is suddenly taken away. Oh, how it will pay to be ready, to make sure our house is in order.

Maranatha!!!!!

If you’re not AWAKE, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO WAKE UP. (Rom.13:11-12). The bombs are not only coming, but “The Beast System” that will be implemented in the middle part of the tribulation period is now upon us.

Right now, a bill is being introduced to bring the populace under the control in Canada. “This bill will allow the government to secretly order telecommunications services, to stop providing services, if government has reasonable grounds to believe that it is necessary, against what they deem to be necessary to do so to secure the Canadian telecommunication system against any threat including that of interference, manipulation, disruption, degradation.” According to the bill the government does not even have to inform you that your service is being cut off. Any person who does not comply with the government order, could face up to 25,000 for the first contraventions and 50,000 for the second. Business could face fines up to 10 million for the first and up to 15 million for subsequent contraventions.

Whether this passes or not, it shows the nearness, of how easy it will be for “the beast system” to come will control the populace. It’s interesting that “France, Italy, Portugal, United Kingdom and 25 other countries will begin implementing the new entry/exit system (EES) on Oct.12-25 over the course of about 6 months. These European Countries will introduce the different elements of the EES in phases including the collection of biometric data, such as facial image and fingerprints. Once this is collected it will be in their database forever.”
“Keir Starmer, after he introduced the digital ID cards, announced plans to make them mandatory for working people in the UK being rolled out, ‘by the end of Parliament’ which will be no later than August 2029.”
This is quite interesting, because Rev.13:15-18 places this around the time, that it will be mandatory for those in the last 3 1/2 years of the tribulation to be able to buy our sell, to receive the “mark, or the name of the beast, or number of his name.”

All who have ears to hear, my dear friend and prophecy preacher Fred Shmidt, says there are no signs connected to the Rapture. All the signs are connected to his second coming. So, if you have not made (2 Pet.1:10) “…your calling and election sure.” now is the time to do so.

A final note “DHS Secretary Kristi Neom dropped a bombshell on FOX News when she said, ‘Bounties are being put on the heads of Federal Law Enforcement Agents by gangs, cartel members.’ A successful kidnapping is $2,000- and $10,000 reward on a successful assassination.”

Micheal Synder wrote about this and said, “The hatred that is now exploding in the streets has been percolating for many years, now a time of reckoning has arrived, it is going to be completely insane.”
In spite of what the scoffers may say, Jesus is coming, but Heb.9:28 says for those, who look for Him. Luke 21:36 says also to “watch and “pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy (meaning, to deem entirely deserving, qualified) to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”

We all have a choice, to keep hitting the snooze button, or to wake up, get up, and go quickly into the hedges and highways and compel the lost, the lukewarm, to come to the great supper the Lord Jesus is preparing.

As my friend JD Collins said, “If I miss the rapture, I have no one to blame but myself.” The song puts all this in perspective “I wish we’d all been ready; there’s no time to change your mind, the Son has come and you’ve been left behind.”

As Stephen Flowers sings the song “I pray we’ll all be ready when Jesus comes.” I exhort you today, (2 Cor.13:5) to examine yourself today, and see if you’re in the faith, if not you still have today, I can’t promise you, you’ll have another one.

Maranatha!!!!!

What can be of any greater motivation for being ready, and telling the good news, “Jesus saves” than knowing that the Lord Jesus coming is at hand. Romans 13:11-12 says “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake our of sleep, (The Amplified Bible says, of spiritual compliancy) 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.”

My daily prayer is, Lord don’t let me be like Israel when their Messiah rode into Jerusalem and wept over it, Luke 19:42-44 saying “If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even to the ground, and thy children within thee: and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.”

These are some of the saddest words to me, because they could have known (and I believe they did, but he was not the kind of Messiah they were looking for and chose to reject him as their suffering savior if they had believed all that the prophets had written about him. Jesus would have never said “if thou hadst known” if they could not have known, (if he had not revealed it to his servant Daniel 9:24-27) that from the time of being delivered from Babylon captivity until their Messiah would come, riding into Jerusalem (Zec.9:9) on a donkey would be 69 weeks or 483 years, and be crucified.

The Lord showed me years ago, that Noah’s generation (Matt.24:39) “knew not until the flood came and took them all away…” and in Luke 19:44 they (Israel) “knewest not the time of their visitation.” And the last part of Matt.24:39 says “…so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” This tells me that most just like Noah’s Day, this wicked and adulterous generation will not know, that the Lord’s coming is nigh at hand.

Jesus goes on in vs. 42-51 exhorting them and us, so as to “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour (instant) your Lord doth come. But know (have understanding of) this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would have come, he would have watched and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore, be ye also ready, for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming. And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in and hour that he is not ware of, And shall cut him asunder (off) and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Hebrews 9:28 says “…and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Luke 21:34-36 “And take heed to (meaning to be on guard, pay attention to, watch) yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged (burdened, weighted down) with surfeiting, (to indulge in pleasure recklessly) and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, so that day (this is speaking of the Rapture, because from the signing of the peace treaty Dan.9:27 until Christ seconding with his bride to earth, will be exactly 7-years) come upon you unawares. For a snare (trap) shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch (meaning, the habit of keeping the eye constantly alive to events) ye therefore, and pray always, (which is the habit of keeping the heart constantly lifted up to God) that ye may be accounted worthy (to deem entirely deserving, qualified) to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. (Amplified Bible say’s, at his coming).

May I encourage you today, to tell somebody Titus 2:11-13 of “the grace of God that bringeth salvation (that) hath appeared to all men. (tell them what this grace teaches) Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and glorious appearing of the great God and our saviour Jesus Christ.”
Yes, our Lord Jesus is coming, and by the converging of all the signs Luke 21:25-28 as my Lord says we’re to do “then look up and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

Yes, Jesus is coming, and as my friend Kevin Edwards said he knows when the Lord is coming “Today or tomorrow” so true. Yes that early church, believed it so, they greeted one another with Maranatha (when they meet and when they would leave one another).

Keep looking up and tell everyone who has (Rev.3:22) “an ear to hear…what the Spirit saith unto the churches” to repent of our apathy, lethargy, complacency, and lack of commitment, and walk (Eph.5:1) “in love”, vs.8 “as children of the light…” vs.15 and circumspectly.” (Meaning, watching your conduct, look carefully, how you walk).

I can’t speak for others, this is a time for me to search my heart, to make sure, my motive is pure, and righteous, in all my action. That all I’m doing, is in obedience to my soon coming King, (Heb.12:1) that I have “lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” This is a time as JD Collins said “to live holy.” God Bless. Maranatha!!!!!

I’ve been told of several who’ve had dreams of the bombs coming and the rapture occurring at the same time. Could the fulfillment of these dreams be at hand?

The latest signs indicate it could be very much at hand. Nine signs Micheal Snyder says that the United States and Nato are both preparing for war.

1. Keith Kellogg has told Fox News that President Trump has given Ukraine authorization to conduct long-range missile strikes deep inside Russian territory.

2. According to the wall street Journal the Pentagon is asking firms that produce missiles for the U.S. military to “double or quadruple production rates.”

3. It has been confirmed that the U.S. is strongly considering sending long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine.

4. Denmark is suddenly calling up hundreds of reservists.

5. Nato forces in the Baltic Sea are in a state of enhanced vigilance.

6. French hospitals have been instructed to prepare for mass casualties by March 2026.

7. Germany is preparing to treat up to 1000 wounded troops per day.

8. Today President Trump, the Secretary of War and every General and Admiral gathered at a military base in Virginia.

9. A fleet of U.S. tankers just made the long journey across the Atlantic Ocean.

The presence of air tankers can indicate that the U.S. or Nato is addressing an urgent military requirement for fighter jet refueling capacity. He said each one of the items in this list is certainly noteworthy. But when you put them all together a very alarming picture emerges. Something is up. 2025 has been a year of war, but the vast majority of the population is simply not prepared for what is coming next.

A nightmare scenario is literally playing out right in front of our eyes, but even at this very late hour most people are still sleeping. Like Jeremiah 9:1 “Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people.” Forty-five years ago, upon hearing the prophecy preachers, I would have never thought that church would be in such a lukewarm state.

By all the clear signs, and the call (Luke 21:28) to lift up your head, most would instead be focused on earthly things, (2 Pet.3:10) that “shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with a fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burnt up.”

I don’t know when the bombs will come, and the remnant bride will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, but it sure is looking like it could be any day now. There is a perfect storm setting up, and a large portion of the church is not ready.

A large portion of the church is like Israel was in the times of the Judges 21:25 with “every man doing that which is right in their own eyes.” I often feel like a Jeremiah, in 7:27 when God says “thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee; thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.”

I need your prayers my heart is so torn, much like Jeremiahs’, that Lord, why do we even warn the lost, the lukewarm to make their calling and election sure, when so many have become comfortable where they are? My friend said when this happens people become Critical and then they began to Control, leading to Contamination, and then Catastrophe.

The very message that should motivate us to live each day as if this could be that very day, that our Lord would return. So many have their ears dull of hearing, and the thought comes to mind, “Lord, then why tell them, they don’t have ears to hear it any way”?

Then I hear the Lord say, in Jerm.36:3 “It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them, that they may return every man from his evil way, that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin. V.7 the Lord reiterates it again “It may be, they will present their supplication before the Lord and will return everyone from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the Lord hath pronounced against this people.”

I keep on reminding myself, God’s Word will never return to Him void. Hallelujah, just like in Elijah’s day, there were 7 thousand who had not bowed their knee to Baal. I want to be one of those, how about you?!!!!!
Maranatha!!!!!
