Jesus Christ Second Coming Soon

April 12, 2007 By Trumpeter Leave a Comment

What if the titles of today's popular movie releases were applied to upcoming biblical prophecies of end-time events which draw nearer each day? Lets consider a few…

'An Inconvenient Truth' by Al Gore: Jesus Christ is the Way, the only Way. No apologies for this truth, and there is nothing you can do to change it. Global Warming smells of Global Government. While it is true that we may be experiencing climate change in parts of the world, to suggest that that it is permanent or potentially catastrophic unless humans alter their behavior is absurd and is largely backed by what can only be called 'bad science'. To refute this 'theory' is to be labeled 'stupid' by the liberal media juggernaut. However, I must admit that I am amazed at the momentum building behind this unprecedented merger of environmental causes and politcal agendas.For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
Leonardo DiCaprio's '11th Hour' champions various 'Green' evironmental causes. DiCaprio states "we're on the brink" and "the hour is near". www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2007/05/dicaprio200705And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
Romans 13:11
During the family dinner hour movie trailers are being broadcast on network television which could hardly be described as suitable for young children to view. Currently there is a trailer for a movie called 'The Reaping' starring Hillary Swank and David Morrissey which is COMING SOON. The movie depicts a variety of biblical plagues which affect people on earth. The 'reaping' these filmmakers are referring to is the Great Tribulation as described in the Book of Revelation. While a 'reaping' is coming soon, what is more important is believing that Jesus the messiah is COMING SOON (for the 2nd time), so I suppose suppose Hollywood would tag any movie they made on this impending event as
2nd COMING SOON. For more info read Revelation."This is what the LORD declares: " 'The dead bodies of men will lie like refuse on the open field, like cut grain behind the reaper, with no one to gather them.'"
Jeremiah 9:22

I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
Revelation 3:11
"Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book."
Revelation 22:7
"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.
Revelation 22:12
He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
Revelation 22:20
'Are We Done Yet?' starring Ice Cube: No man knows the day or the hour.No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Matthew 24:36
'Black Book': Don't let your misinformed prejudices prevent you from reading the most-read book in history which leads to 'The Book of Life'.He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.
Revelation 3:5

If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:15
'The Lookout': Watch! Be ready!"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour."
Matthew 25:13
'After the Wedding': people will coninue as always, eating, drinking, marrying while the wedding supper of the Lamb is being prepared in Heaven.As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
Matthew 24:37-39

Then the angel said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!' " And he added, "These are the true words of God."
Revelation 19:9
'Live Free or Die': The price has been paid for your soul by the blood of Jesus…accept His free gift of eternal life or die. Choose wisely.For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him.
John 3:36
Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.
John 17:12

For the greatest part, Hollywood continues to churn out garbage wrapped all pretty with a bow in an attempt to pass it off as entertainment or even more fashionably as urgent information for how you can help 'save the planet'. But in the end, Hollywood is going to burn like the rest of the world.

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.

Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.
2 Peter 3:10-13

The Pope, the Antichrist, and the King of Kings

April 18, 2005 By Trumpeter Leave a Comment

As I write this the ‘Princes of the Church’ are sequestering themselves in the Sistine Chapel to choose a new Pope. I’ve been reading a collection of sermons by Charles Spurgeon called ‘Spiritual Warfare in a Believer’s Life’, and something I read this morning has prompted me to quote Spurgeon,

“Satan…has made men accept a stone for bread. Many have held, and still hold, that it is possible to find an infallible foundation in the Pope or other spiritual leaders…how any mind can by any possible contortion twist itself into a posture in which it will be capable of accepting such a belief is one of the mysteries of humanity. The notion of infallibility residing in mortal man is worthy of a madhouse and scarcely deserves to be seriously discussed.”

In Latin, one of the titles for the Pope is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’ which translates into ‘Ruler In Place of the Son of God’… In Greek the same can be said of the title ‘Antichrist’, where the prefix anti- means both ‘instead of’ and ‘against’. Personally I do not believe that a Pope will be the Antichrist spoken of in the Book of Revelation, however, I have no doubt that the notion of an ‘infallible’ man ruling in place of Christ is truly blasphemous and fallacious. In the not too distant future, the Son of Perdition (aka Antichrist in Revelation) will demand that the entire world worship him as their savior from within the soon to be rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem. This is the moment at which all Jews are warned to flee from the city.

Matthew 24:15-18
“So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel–let the reader understand– then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak.

Why does Hollywood do it?
Hopefully lack of viewership will drive a stake into the heart of a new TV mini series called ‘Revelations’ that will soon debut on NBC. The story line falls much more on the side of ‘just plain stupid’ than ‘offensive’ or ‘blasphemous’. Staying true to character, the powers that be in Hollywood single out one religious belief to mock, which is Christianity of course. It’s highly unlikely that we’ll ever see a tv mini series that is inspired by a mockery of the Koran or Torah. For the record, the Second Coming of Jesus will not be an infant that is saved from a shipwreck in Greece, but all the Earth will see Him as He comes to Judge the world.

Revelation 19:11
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of
the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

If you personally know the Executive Producers of Revelations, Gavin Polone and David Seltzer, don’t stand too close to them because it’s just a matter of time until lightening strikes if they continue to play golf in the rain. There will be no escaping having to answer for adding and taking away from God’s Word.

Deuteronomy 12:31
You must not worship the LORD your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods. See that you do all I command you; do not add to it or take away from it.

Coincidence?
You decide…
I don’t know what to make of it, but I realized something unusual about the 2 huge earthquakes which have hit Sumatra in the last 3 months and I think it’s worth mentioning. The first quake generated the Tsunami which killed somewhere around 250,000 people… it struck on December 26th, 2004 which is the day after Christmas, registering a huge 9.0 on the Richter scale. The next big quake struck on March 28th, 2005 which was the day after Easter this year, it registered a huge 8.7 on the Richter scale. Christmas & Easter, the days that Christians celebrate the birth of Christ and the resurrection of Christ from the tomb. Hmmm, interesting, huh? According to the USGS website, these were 2 of of the 10 most powerful quakes in the world in the last 100 years! And the largest pair of quakes in 200 years. Like I said, I don’t know what to make of it, but it’s something to think of.

Matthew 24:7-8
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are {merely} the beginning of birth pangs.

A particular sub-headline on the Drudge Report caught my eye this morning, it reads “Koran scholar: US will cease to exist in 2007”. No, this isn’t an April Fool’s joke. Palestinian scholar Ziad Silwadi (who is not a world-renowned scholar of the Koran ) claims through his study that the US will be inundated by tsunamis on both coasts in 2007 as punishment from Allah for the country’s history of heinous sins. There’s only 1 problem with Ziad’s prophecy… there is NO precedent of ANY prophecy unique to the Koran having ever come true. Only God knows the future, therefore, only God can reveal the future, and He has done so several hundred times in the Old Testament (aka Tanakh). While the US will certainly cease to exist someday, it certainly won’t happen the way Ziad imagines it. I just don’t understand how any rational, thinking person could ever choose the Koran as a holy book when compared to The Bible. I can only conclude that they haven’t made the comparison, but have chosen to believe the lie.

What’s really special about Ziad’s interpretation is that he draws a parallel between these upcoming tsunamis and the parted waters of the Red Sea crashing down upon Pharoh and his army that were in pursuit of WHO? The Jews! Also, check this out, I happened to underline this passage in my Bible a few days ago:

Isaiah 51:10
Was it not you who dried up the sea,
the waters of the great deep,
who made a road in the depths of the sea,
so that the redeemed might cross over?
The ransomed of the Lord will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

This is REAL prophecy. The passage not only speaks of God safely saving the Jews from Pharoh some 4000 years ago, but it also speaks of the future, when the “ransomed of the Lord” who are all those who were purchased by the blood of Jesus, those who accept Jesus the Jew as their Messiah, as God who came in the flesh and obediently died on the cross, as the sacrificial Lamb who takes away the sins of the world for those who believe, AND then rose from the dead 3 days later in victory over death. These are the ransomed of the Lord who will live forever in the real heaven, in the presence of God, in peace with joy, gladness, singing and no more pain or suffering at all.

This is the Good News. This is Salvation. And it can be yours too, all you have to do is ask for it.

God Reigns.

Amen

What are we to do?

It’s been 10 months now since America was attacked by the Muslim terrorists who hijacked 3 passenger jets, killing over 6,000 people. Take a good look at what has happened in America since then. So far, there is little evidence that our country has taken heed of the warning which the September 11th events signify. Nothing happens to any nation without God’s permission. While God is not to blame for the tragedy and terror of September 11th, he did allow the events of that day to unfold as they did, showing his mercy by enabling those brave men to fight back on the jetliner which was destined to crash into our Capitol. Think of how much more terrible and chaotic that day would have been if our Congress was in session while the 3rd plane crashed into the Capitol Building.

Complacency seems to be the pervasive attitude. Sure, there is talk that “its not a matter of IF, but WHEN” in regards to the next act of terrorism in America. But the public seems to be lacking a sense of vigilance or seriousness about the issue. The United States of America, as strong and successful as our country has been, is not invincible.

The Courts are still trying to remove God from all aspects of our government and schools and have even tried to remove the phrase “one nation under God” from our country’s Pledge of Allegiance. Hollywood continues to pollute the airwaves and movie theaters with a continuous stream of filth and morally depraved, Godless “entertainment”. The first transsexual has been approved as a pastor of a Methodist Church. The Homosexuals continue to shamelessly flaunt their sexual deviancy and agenda of “normalizing” their perversion. The Homosexual Agenda also continues to push for defining any outspoken opposition to their cause as “hate speech”. Almost every week now we hear of another child being abducted from their home, raped and murdered. Somtimes to never be seen again. Thousands of children are killed every day in abortion clinics. The wave of Evil continues to wash over our land.

What are we to do?

God has always called his church to warn people of impending judgment. He speaks to the hearts of those who seek him, “Stand up, Speak out, Warn your family, friends, neighbors and country. I have endured enough of this wickedness!” Now is the time for God’s people to warn of judgement. But now is also the time for God’s people to repent of their own “little habitual sins” that they so innocently shrug off as being inconsequential. There are consequences! There is no more time for cheapening God’s grace by continuing in sin because you “know” that God is merciful and will forgive you. Where is the reverent fear of God that you should have? If you do not fear God’s judgement then you either do not know God, or are already captive to the sin that you so pridefully refuse to acknowledge. There is Freedom in Jesus Christ for those who call on his name. There is very little time left before Jesus returns to take his church away from the judgement that awaits this planet.

We want to pray Lord Jesus come soon, but not before our loved ones accept you for who you are, the Son of God, and creator of the Universe. Prince of Peace, Name above All Names, El Shaddai, Yeshua, Faithful and True.
