Colossians 3:1-4

Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Hebrews 10:24-25

and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

Joel 2:28-29

“It will come about after this

That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind;

And your sons and daughters will prophesy,

Your old men will dream dreams,

Your young men will see visions.

“Even on the male and female servants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

Be careful...Be vigilant...Be Faithful...Remain focused! 

The Great Test is On! Will you come out Victorious!

Mark 13:32, “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.”

From Jesus’ own mouth I want to emphasize to you that if anyone says that they know when He is returning, that person is wrong.

Now, even though I don’t know when Jesus is coming back, what I can say without hesitation is that His return is near.

And by “near,” I mean what the bible says, which is that His coming is imminent, unknown.

WASHINGTON — China’s effort to expand its growing  influence represents one of the largest threats to the  United States, according to a major annual intelligence report released on Tuesday, which also warned of the  broad national security challenges posed by Moscow and  Beijing.

The report does not predict a military confrontation with  either Russia or China, but it suggests that so-called gray zone battles for power, which are meant to fall short of  inciting all-out war, will intensify with intelligence  operations, cyberattacks and global drives for influence. The assessment highlights the opportunities and  challenges for the Biden administration. Iran, for  instance, has not advanced its work on a nuclear weapon,  potentially giving President Biden some room to  maneuver. But it paints a grim prognosis for a peace deal  in Afghanistan, a day before Mr. Biden is set to announce  that he will withdraw American forces by September.  Critics could use the report to suggest that the president is  ignoring intelligence agencies’ predictions as he pushes  forward with the drawdown. While much of the report describes traditional national  security challenges, it also gives far more attention to  climate change and global health than previous threat  assessments have done. That shift reflects a pledge by the  Biden administration’s top intelligence officials to focus  more on such nontraditional challenges. The report puts China’s push for “global power” first on  the list of threats, followed by Russia, Iran and North  Korea.

This third message is a warning about receiving the mark of the beast.

The third angel's message is ALL about who we look to.

Those who look to man for understanding, help and power and give their allegiance to man, will be deceived by man and end up receiving the beast's mark.

Whereas those who look to Christ and Christ ALONE for teaching, understanding, help and power and give their allegiance to Christ as their leader will not be deceived and will not receive the beast's mark.

Part 2

There is no time to think we should take our time in preparing for his coming.

Listen to: Timothy 3:1-5 ...'This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.'

These verses predicted a great moral degeneration in our society.

I am so thankful that you are still listening to the podcast and continuing to walk the path of faithfulness and fortitude.

This past week I’ve been praying for all you to stay rooted in the promises of our Lord.

I’ve also thought about all those who have fallen away.

What a pity…we are so close then to take our hands off the plow now.

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ from Las Vegas. I miss all of you. Soon we will be together in the Temple of God here on Earth. Remain Focus!
