Counting Down To The Master’s Call

27 Jun 2025
Off

Counting down, Look Up, his spotless bride will any day hear the Master’s call Rev.4:1 “Come up hither” This is sure looking like, a peace treaty is in the making, that will culminate into a seven-year peace treaty fulfilling Israel’s 70th week. (Dan.9:27)

Paul wrote in 1Thess.5:2 “For when they say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child: and they shall not escape.” If you’ll notice he did not say “we” as he did in 4:13-18, this is because we have been brought into the light V.4 and “are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.”

Before I get to the “Wow of the day” interestingly they are calling this the twelve-day war, which in bible Numerics means ‘Governmental Perfection.” (Trump, the Governments, especially Nato think they will be able to bring about peace. I can tell you on the authority of scriptures, there will be no lasting peace, until the prince of peace, the Lord Jesus comes and sets up his earthly Kingdom.

I am in no way downing this, President; yet very concerned with his spiritual adviser “Paula White” about here unbiblical beliefs, that are clearly miss leading Trump, in his effects toward peace with Israel. Let us pray that he does not divide the land of Israel, if he does it will be bad for America as well as all others.

Joel 3:2 “I will also gather all nations and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.”

These are Paula Whites Unbiblical views 1. Jerusalem and the land of Israel no longer belong exclusively to descendants of Jacob Via Gods Unconditional covenants with his people. 2. The Jewish people don’t have a place in Gods prophetic program for the future. 3. The world is not racing toward the seven-year tribulation judgment as described in Revelation chapters 6-18 but is rather on a course leading to a time of worldwide prosperity, peace, and security administered by the church.”

This is Kingdom Now Theology, who do not believe in the rapture of the church. All I can say, all who believe this false doctrine are in for the shock of their life, when the four horsemen are commanded Rev.6 to Come by Jesus, who will kill these apostates Rev.18 in the last half of the tribulation period.

This is a Wow!!!!! “Today on a large billboard in Israel there were 10 leaders who are planning to sign onto the Abraham Accord, with Israel being the 11 one. Not sure if this in concludes the other four that have already signed. What is Interesting is, ten in Bible Numerics means testimony, and 11 means judgment. According to Isa.28:15 they will make “a covenant with death…”

From the statement, on Amir’s Instagram this is coming very quick. This was Today at 11:18 AM he wrote this. I find it interesting as well, that 11 means judgment and 18 means bondage.”Major new developments in the coming weeks from the Middle East. President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer.

The following principles were agreed upon in general lines: 1. The war in Gaza will end in two weeks. The termination conditions will include the entry of four Arab counties (including Egypt and the United Arab Emirates) that will manage the Gaza Strip in place of the murderous Hams terror organization. What is left of the Hams leadership will be exiled to other counties, and of course, the hostages will be released. 2. Several countries around the world are expected to absorb many residents of Gaza who wish to emigrate. 3. The Abraham Accords will be expanded: Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Arab and Muslim countries will recognize Israel and establish official relations with it. 4. Israel will express its willingness to resolve the conflict with the Palestinians in the future under the concept of “two states,” and this is conditional on reforms in the Palestinian Authority. 5. The United States will recognize the application of some Israel sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.”

I want to be clear this is not the 7-year peace agreement, that Antichrist, will confirm, that starts the 7-year tribulation period. But I can say as my friend say ‘Countdown Look up.” Now is not the time to be slumbering and sleeping, but to be Luke 21:36 “watching and praying.” Now is the time to make sure you have on the wedding garment, for the King is coming, and will examine all who are at the wedding.

Scoff if you will, but the Lord Jesus is about to step out on the cloud to meet his beloved bride in the clouds. Look up the King is coming. Maranatha!!!!!

Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready!!!

21 Jun 2025
Off

Get Ready, get Ready, as the song Vestal Goodman sang “Just any day now our Lord is coming.” These, war of words is telling us, we are on the threshold of the rapture.

First China who receives 90% of Iran’s oil has warned that they are “deeply concerned” about developments in the Middle East. Spokesperson says, “countries that have special influence over Israel should objective and just positions, shoulder their due responsibilities and play an active and constructive role in easing the situation and avoiding the expansion of the conflict.” Now Russia language is much sharper in denouncing Israel’s actions in Iran. A Spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry just called for Israel’s government “to come to its senses.”

“Attacking nuclear sites keep us {on the brink of a catastrophe whose implications will be felt everywhere, even in Israel). She calls on Israeli leadership to come to its senses and immediately stop attacks on nuclear installations. We are particularly concerned about the safety of the Bushehr nuclear power plant, which employ Russian specialist. Also, a top Russian General says that Russia should mobilize a million more troops because World War III has begun…”

Say what you will, and even scoff at this little preacher, but the rapture is nearer than you think. I know there are those who believe in the Pre-Wrath, Mid-Trib, Post-Trib, and Kingdom Now theology. I know this may come across as hard, and you may think, you think you know it all. Oh, no my friend, it is Jehovah-God who knows it all.
Whether you take Gods word literally or not, God says what he says and means what he says. There are qualifications for those who will go in the rapture, so it would pay for all of us to take heed to them. Heb.9:28 says “and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Luke 21:36 says “Watch ye therefore, 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.” (Amp. at his coming) …

Believe what you will, but now is the time for all of us 2Cor.13:5 to examine ourselves …” Pray, Pray and ask the Lord if there is anything, as Tommy Lilley’s Granddad a precious man of God said many years ago, “that you would not like to be doing when Jesus comes. Go to no place you would not like to be found when Jesus comes. Say nothing that you would not like to be saying when Jesus comes.”
It’s time to get up, pray up, shape up and be committed up to the bridegroom. You don’t have to be among the lukewarm, you can wake up and have enough oil in your vessel. Don’t be like those Ronald Brock had a Vision or Dream years ago, that he saw of the rapture, of people jumping up and down, trying to get off the ground, but the door was shut. Oh, what a sad day that will, because you let the cares of this life and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, to be one of them with not enough oil. Jesus warned Luke 21:34 us about “being overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness…” (meaning to indulge in pleasure recklessly).

As brother Harry Clark said “I am not trying to un-Christianize you” … my desire is to stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance to the scriptures of which we will all be judged by. Matt.25:10 says, “and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage and the door was shut.”

I cannot speak for you and neither can you for me, but I want to be deemed qualified, and be that wise servant when his Lord cometh, find so doing. My prayer is you will be ready and found worthy to go in with him to the marriage and not be that evil servant Matt.24:48-51 who thought and said in his heart, that his Lord delayeth his coming.

What a sad day, for these servants, of whom he will cut them off and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Jesus is coming, you are deciding which side of the door you will be on, at his coming?

Maranatha!!!!!

Are You Ready For The Rapture?

17 Jun 2025
Off

If I weren’t ready for the Rapture, (2 Peter 1:10) I’d “make my calling and election sure…” President Trump cut short the G7 summit meeting and requested to meet last night with his National Security Council in the White House situation room along with a lot of other people. Jennifer Jacobs from FOX said “Trump isn’t leaving because of discussions for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. I’m told, but Trump told us ‘This is big stuff’ and ‘I have to be back early for obvious reasons.”

Putin’s General calls for Massive Mobilization as he declares “WWW 3 has already started following Israels strikes on Iranian soil on Thursday night. Dozens of American militaries, refueling aircraft left US shores heading east across the Atlantic Ocean early on Monday in an unprecedented deployment of the U. S. Air Force.”

This sure sounds like Ez.38 is moving into place. Trump stated “Iran should have signed the “deal” I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human lfe. Simply stated Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran.”

Reading behind Micheal Snyder he said, “Iran has repeated claims it hasn’t used its full resources yet, we are still exercising restraint and have not deployed all our capabilities to avoid global chaos, however Major General Maheen Rezai says, we may reach a point where we use new weapons.”

If you are not ready, now is the time to repent of every sin. Now is the time to live holy and make your calling and election sure. The door on this side of the Rapture, will soon be closed and 7 of the most horrible years (Matt. 24:21, Mark 13:19) will “be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.”

Scoff at this little preacher if you choose, and call me crazy, but very soon you will find me gone. You have a choice (Rev. 6:17-18) hiding or dining with Jesus. Oh, how I pray you will be Rapture ready, to dine with Jesus. You’ll be so glad.
P.S. It is now official now “A very senior US government official says the US military is joining attacks on Iran it’s a matter of just a few hours and not of days. ~Maranatha!!!!!

Not a Coincidence

13 Jun 2025
Off

Wow, this was not a coincidence that Israel attacked Iran last night. If only they had eyes to see, and ears to hear they could have seen in (Psa.121:4-5) that “he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper…”

Here is the Wow. Iran had been given 60 days which in Bible Numerics means “Pride” then to be attacked on the day after, on the 61st. Pro.21:1 says, “The king’s heart is in the hands of the Lord, as the rivers of water; he turneth it whithersoever he will.”

Iran is a very prideful and arrogant regime, that has been calling for Israel’s destruction, and the United States as well, has now been made by God an example again, for all the world to see. Prov.16:18 that “Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

Gen.6:5 Just as “God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination (purposes and desires) of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually…” he saw that the same thoughts and imaginations Matt.24:36-44 would be in our day. Verse 39 says, “And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Lord be.” They did not know nor understand, that the flood was coming, even though they heard it preached for 120 years and now the ark is finished. The animals were a sign the rain is coming, and they still did not believe the proclaimed word of God.

Let that sink in, dumb animals, were more in tune with their creator like the donkey speaking to Baalam, the roaster crowing etc. than the people of that day as well as, a large portion of the church. Professing Christians who are calling for fables instead of truth, (2Tim.4:1-4) in our day. Wake up, shape up, pay up, pack up and look up, Jesus is coming very soon.

I believe the water broke last night from prolonged birth pains, and the espoused bride, to be wed to the bridegroom, will soon hear the bridegroom say to his bride. “Come up hither.”

You can call me crazy if you like, but God is not going to let man finish the tower of Baal to reach into the heaven as they tried to do in (Gen.11:4) in our day either. It’s time to shake ourselves from our slumber and sleep and be ready to meet the bridegroom.

We can be sure that this spirit of antichrist, has reached the point of bringing forth the “Antichrist’ which means he’s lying in the wings, waiting to be called (Rev.6:1 by the Lord Jesus for just 7 short years.)

Consider just a few very sobering developments. . . “Is an AI Apocalypse rapidly approaching? Jeffrey Ladish the director of the AI safety group Palisade research says, “I expect that we’re only a year or two away from this ability where even when companies are trying to keep them from hacking out and copying themselves around the internet, they won’t be able to stop them and once you get to that point, now you have a new invasive species.”

Now there is a lot of buzz about 1,800 different cities set to march this weekend, claiming it will be peaceful. If this is going to be peaceful, as one pointed out, “then why is riot gear being handed out “bionic shields costing sixty dollars by the boxes. This is not the kind of thing you buy in bulk if you don’t plan on doing something with it.”

Call me crazy if you like, whether it materializes or not, it is coming. When 10,000 sleeper cells (Fred Shmidt said were here over 15 years ago), will be given the signal to rise up and take action. What better time form them to be given the signal, when most will be caught off guard from internal unrest?
Amir Tsarfati says “If you think that the Islamic republic won’t order its sleeping cells in America to act soon–you’re are wrong! The Ayatollahs won’t be satisfied without some American or Jewish blood! It’s who they are!”

Oh, what a day it will be for all those who, yielded to the Holy Spirit’s wooing and come to Jesus, to be delivered from the life of sin. If you are not saved, time is running out, the door will soon be shut to the church age. Then, the river will run deep with the blood, (Rev.17:6), of martyred saints again as in the inquisition. You don’t have to be (Rev.7:14) among the lukewarm saints who will be martyred, those who (Heb.2:3) failed to maintain their garments. Pray and ask the Lord Jesus who is gracious, (Isa.55:7) “and he will have mercy…for he will abundantly pardon.”

You must not wait, today is the day of salvation. What’s keeping you from being obedient to the faith? Is it worth it? Only you can answer that question. If not, ask the Lord Jesus to draw you by his Spirit, and to have mercy upon you and grant unto you his grace, that sets the captive free.

It’s time to get right with God and one another. There is someone I am writing to, that has let the devil deceive you into thinking you don’t need any other part of the body. Every time you try to get close to someone, you end up getting hurt. Well, it’s time to turn loose of your hurt, forgive and leave it at the altar. I know of some, who thinks it’s everybody else’s fault, but can’t see they’re the bigger problem.

I say this with the greatest of humility, it’s time to get over your pity party, and take up the cross and deny yourself and take up the cross and follow and obey Christ. All those things that are keeping you from Jesus ain’t going to matter after the rapture. It’s time to examine yourself, and get your eyes off everybody else, or be left behind.

Jesus is not coming back after a quarreling, grumbling, complaining bride, because your feelings got hurt, or you were shunned, or didn’t get your way. No, he’s coming back after a faithful bride, that if you’re slapped on one cheek, you quickly turn the other and lift up your hands and give thanks unto Jesus, that you were counted worthy to suffer for the cause of Christ.

It’s time to put away childish things and become men and women of God, to go quickly into the highways and hedges, and tell the lost Jesus saves, and keeps those who have died to self, and determined to know nothing but Jesus Christ and him crucified.

If you don’t know what time it is on God’s prophetical clock, I’ll be glad to show you from scripture. (Rom.13:11-12)

I know I have been looked on as being crazy for being so caught up about the coming of Christ, even dating setting. No, it’s in the book (Hos.6:1-3) that two days or two thousand years are allotted to the church age, which includes the 7 years of tribulation.

Jesus coming is near, don’t be left outside the door, because of all the idols you have raised up in Christ place, and have forsaken the house of God. All I’m required to do, is to tell you truth. I pray I haven’t become your enemy because I tell you the truth.

~Maranatha
