    Before The End of The World

    Holy Bible, Isaiah 64:1-65:7 KJV;

    Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,  As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!

    When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.

    But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.

    But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

    Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.

    Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

    Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

    Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?

    I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

    Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom, Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.

    Accursed Humanity

    The Prophet Isaiah caught a glimpse of our depravity, and mankind’s futile attempts to justify ourselves before a holy righteous LORD: Have you?

    The world is currently witnessing the self-inflicted death-throes of the Zionist experiment of Israel, which can only end one way: The Bible way, very soon, at Armageddon, Revelation 16:15-21 KJV;

    Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

    And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

    And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

    And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

    And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

    And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

    And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

    The Monster in The Mirror

    Saints are appalled at the Genocide of Palestinians at the hands of godless Zionist leaders, flapping around like headless chickens as their end draws nigh.

    But Brothers and Sisters, do you imagine you and I would behave any differently, if it were not for Christ dwelling in our hearts?

    No, our flesh is no better than our forebears’, or the Jews’, for we have proven ourselves just as depraved over the twenty centuries since God walked on Earth in Israel.

    It was your flesh and mine that hammered the nails into the sinless Christ. John 20:24-29 KJV;

    But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

    The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

    And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

    Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

    And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

    Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

    See Yourself in The Jews

    The behaviour of the Hebrews and Jews are examples to us of the depravity fallen humanity is capable of, without God’s Spirit indwelling and filling us.

    Since God in His Mercy revealed Himself to us, and we received Christ as LORD, we’ve been aware of our calling, and responsibility, to honour the Living Word of God.

    It is a wonderful, beautiful discovery, and experience, is it not?

    But we’ve also witnessed failures when we’ve allowed our flesh to usurp the LORD from the throne of our hearts.

    We live under God’s Grace, and His Mercy is ever ready to forgive, but the ease with which we yield to temptation to sin appals us, and so we see ourselves in the Zionists: There, but for the Grace of God, goest I.

    Saint! Come to the end of yourself, and stay there.

    Realize there’s nothing divine, no good, in your fallen, carnal nature: By the power of God’s Spirit, keep self crucified, dead and buried, so that Christ reigns and shines through you, as you walk in His light.

    These are the final days, before He appears to take us home forever.

    Use your talents and “ten pounds” to be occupied, busy for the LORD, not indulging your flesh, Luke 19:13 KJV;

    And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

    How to Become a Christian

    1) Understand that your flesh has already been crucified in Christ, once and for all. Galatians 2:19-21 KJV;

    For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

    I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

    I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

    2) Christ’s Sacrifice has cleared your sin-debt to Almighty God: You’ve already been redeemed. Galatians 3:13-14 KJV;

    Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

    3) The benefits of Christ’s substitution in your place come by faith, believing in Him, and what He’s accomplished for you at the cross. John 3:16-17 KJV;

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

    That is good news for every sinner.

    What good news?

    The LORD Jesus Christ bore your guilt and was cursed in your place.

    Why?

    So that you can be legally forgiven, made righteous by God, and set free.

    So what?

    So repent from unbelief and believe on Christ as LORD and Savioiur, and follow Him.

    It is good news for every sick person.

    What good news?

    The LORD Jesus Christ bore your sickness and carried your disease on Himself at the cross.

    Why?

    So that you can be healed, healthy, and whole.

    So what?

    So repent from unbelief: Believe on Christ as your Healer-Saviour, and follow Him.

    Do it now because you may not get a tomorrow.
