Truth In The Word

Philippians 3:1-10 (KJV)

1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

With the transfer of the US embassy to Jerusalem, Jerusalem is the real capital of Israel.  With the establishment of this historic move the Islam world and the anti-semites are seething at the mouth desiring to destroy Israel forever.  I say this will NEVER happen.  Why? read Amos 9:14 & 15 as well as many other verses and you will understand them upcoming defeat of Gog and its allies.  Daniel says the enemies of Israel will have success for a time, but in the end they are utterly destroyed.  Read it for yourself if you do not believe me.

Acts 3:1-8 (KJV)

1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

Romans 8:18-22 (KJV)

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

Paul spoke of the great falling away from the faith inThessalonians.  Some could argue that he was referring to a "removal" of the believers via the rapture.  I have taught for years that his statement was a double referent, meaning that he was implying both events were somewhat simultaneous.  Now jump ahead to today's headlines coming out of the middle east and is it any wonder why people are giving up on faith due to fear?  Remember what Jesus said about fear... I hope you do.

Genesis 1:1 (KJV)

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 1:2-5 (KJV)

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Middle east news is full of the prophetic, but a simple news bulletin out of Japan is confirming that the Days of Noah are fully complete.  It is only a matter of time, and I think it will be a short interlude, before the rapture of the true believer in Jesus Christ.  Remember, He is coming for those who have a relationship with Him and are looking for His return.

So little international news is being shown to the American people, makes me think that Americans are treated like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed manure.  The events in the middle east are pointing towards conflict.  Did Jesus not say that this would happen before He returned?  Yes he did.  Be ready to meet Him.

Isaiah 54:17 (KJV)

17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.Isaiah 50:8-9 (KJV)

8 He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.

9 Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.

To some, even me, the word easter is a bit offensive.  The name, the association with eggs and rabbits are all part of pagan lore.  By studying history, both Biblical and non-Biblical writings, AND using astronomical software, the date of our Lords death and ressurection can be determined.  Since this is the truth as I define truth, why not celebrate the resurrection on April 5th every year?  Nnow that's something to think about.
