The Threshold of the Second Coming

greed [aka cost/benefit]

How fast the world is deteriorating into evil.  The darkness covering the land today makes the 60’s look more pure.  While there was nothing holy about the rise of immorality of the 60’s, the embrace the world is giving to wickedness today has increased by folds.  And all indications are that this increase will explode.  Are you ready for absolute chaos?  It is coming.

 

Throughout the ages, since the resurrection of Jesus, men have proclaimed the return of the Lord of Glory.  I’ve often pondered, as have others, just what the signs will be when the Holy God of Israel has had enough.  Because, when the Lord God sends His Son, this world will endure all manner of horror.  Many thought their age was the one in which the Lord would surely return.  But wickedness had not run its course.  This observation has given birth to an understanding within me.

If the world has become increasingly wicked and the Lord has not yet returned, just how wicked must the world become before the Lord comes?  Personally, I believe anyone would not be far wrong to expect His return very soon.  But how much more violence, godlessness, and unholiness needs to come to maturity before God responds with His Holy Promise to do away with man’s rebellion?  If it’s this bad now, how much more horror must man manufacture?

God has given man over to the desires of his heart.  The central desire of man is to rid himself of the God who made him.  How long will man rebel?  How much destruction will he be willing to reap from the works of his own hand?  The answer is “A LOT”!  Murders, greed, anger, rapes, thefts, lies, corruption of every sort on every level, even within families, all these things are going to increase until there is no one left on the face of the entire earth who is willing to allow God to be the King of their life.  At this time, the Lord of Glory will appear with Great suddenness; when they least expect it.

May the Lord have mercy on those who read this post.  May He open their eyes to see.  Billions and billions of blind are, even now, awaiting their fate at the hands of the Living God.  Yet hell still has room.  Why would you seal your eternity as they have?  Why not humble yourself before the Most High God, through Jesus, and accept the testimony of His people?

Letters to a Dear Friend

There is a place where hatred dies. I’ve often been in the place where hatred thrives. It has blocked the sun on a summer’s day. It has stopped the rain’s noise on the roof. It has leveled an earth cracked from drought. It has made me nothing more than a lump of flesh. And it has appeared often and powerfully, as if to brood over me as a cloud without color; not black or grey.

But there is a place where hatred dies. Now I look back to those days when it came to press upon me. Even there I remember that hatred was something. When I had nothing, I at least had hatred. But there is a place where even hatred dies. Then there is nothing. And the prospect of that agony is more than the brooding hatred.

So I searched out for anything I could do while it brooded over me. Perhaps I could twirl a coin. But there is a place where even twirling cannot be done; this place where hatred dies. Many think they will be rid of hatred and find a place of peace. But in the finding of that peace, they will find that even hatred has died in that place. As it has been our only friend, now even it has died. And nothing is left for eternity

This place where hatred dies, which I spoke of before, is not to be found while we still wear skin. I have heard people speak of this current place as the place where even hatred dies. But a simple look around shows that this is not so. And the death of love is also a myth born by those who walk in this place of testing. Among so many myths whispered by skin wearers, this one reigns supreme.

Wonderful and Horrible were brothers. One was and the other only pretended to be. Yet, Wonderful kept to Himself and only shared His thoughts with His closest friends. Horrible, on the other hand, shared his thoughts and belongings with everyone he ever met. I say this from the perspective of one who stands on the mountain top and looks back over the spreading village below, where horrible lives. I am nearly to Wonderful’s city. And I can hear the music of His people as they sing of He who Is.

He who never was, will never be. It’s a promise of truth from Wonderful’s lips. And in the city where I am bound, Horrible is never to set foot. The beauty is that those who live in the village can climb to this place if they are willing to simply ask Wonderful for help. Horrible is the stingy one. But Wonderful is generous and kind. Horrible takes and takes until nothing is left to consume. Wonderful gives and gives until His friends are full and complete.

Come with me and we will dance to the melody of those who know Wonderful face to face. One step. It takes one step across the threshold of your door. A simple “ask” is all it takes. Colors await, never again a colorless day again. Even the darkest moment in the company of Wonderful is filled with awe inspiring vibrance.

__Note:

Horrible’s village produces only one product of any meaningful value, paper.   When he is gone who will be left to run the mill?

Police Officer Jailed for Jailing Law Breaker

jail

It has come to my attention that I have a distinct and vibrant hatred for the pride of man.  Now, I would take offence at that but I can’t.  I remember we are told to hate what is evil and cling to what is good. 

Don’t take my hatred for the pride of man to mean that I hate man.  In this particularly vibrant hatred, I actually take some solace.  Some might assume that I mean to commit a hate crime.  But we don’t charge police officers with a crime for jailing one who has broken the law of society.  Or maybe times have changed and I haven’t noticed.  This could be.  There has been a whole lot of liberal thinking running amuck lately.

Just a note:  In selecting the tags for this post, I simply clicked “Apply all.”  Personally I see no sense to be politically correct here.  And WordPress seems to know what I mean by what I type. 

Just one more note:  The picture is the best shot I could get of the Policeman………. LOL

Pure or Crooked.

TEST

“to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.” (Psalm 18:26)

How we perceive God and what is good, depends on the state of our heart.  Each man receives the value of his heart.  A little child’s innocence will allow it to hold a worm with wonder and joy.  But one who is older and jaded will regard that worm as ugly, hideous, and worthless.

Purify your heart from wickedness and you will begin to see the purity of God’s creation.  We say, for instance, that we forgive someone for what they’ve done.  But for most these are just words.  A little later and they will find themselves hashing the incident over again with hatred.  The forgiveness God demands does not come from a wicked heart.

A godly man will wake in the morning to the sound of peace in his heart.  He knows he has entered into a place where he can accept the will of God regardless the circumstances.  A wicked man will wake to consider the hatred he harbored the day before.  He counts all the offences against himself and others.  He looks for this same hatred in everyone else, for it resides so deeply in himself.  While a godly man will see beyond the actions of others to the reasons why they might do what they do.

The righteous man will consider death and suffering a task the Lord has presented for him to endure.  And will gladly accept the task, for he knows the Lord is pure and loving.  A wicked man will consider the same two tasks as hideous and revolting.  He will desire to be rid of both.  And will accuse the Lord of being too harsh.

We encounter life according to our own level of love or hatred.  A wise man will hear these words and consider his own heart.  The day is coming when our hearts will be shown for what they really are.  There will be no place to hide and no excuse to use.  Today is the day of testing.   You are tested by the world around you.  Are you shown as a man of God?  You are tested by your own actions.  Are you a man of God?  You are tested by the Lord.  Are you a man of God?

Ok. Fine! So I’m Stupid.

I woke this morning after 3 hours sleep.  I can’t sleep!  I want God’s will.   And I’m going to rant here a bit.  I don’t care if you can forgive my ranting.  I’m frustrated and simply need to vent.  I stand between the world and the Lord.  I want Him far more than I want anything in this world.  And people who know me and hear me say that would nod in understanding:  “Yep.  I can testify.   This man really is crazy after God’s things”.

No matter where I turn I find lies and confusion.  People speak of God as a fairy tale.  They don’t realize that the world they’re trying to re-create is the fairy tale.  They think this day is the day they’ve been waiting for.  They think they have what they finally wanted since man began.  They want no part of God or His ways.  Oh how they speak fine words.  Refined language is the religion of the day.  If they can speak the right words, they think they have nullified the Word of the Lord.  They turn to what they call reason.  “If we can just approach life from a logical perspective, we can rid ourselves of all this God stuff.”  What they are saying is that the mind of man can create the utopia he deserves and desires.

Fine!  Have your utopia by virtue of your own imagination.  And you call Christians fairy tale people.  Foolishness!  What has your tiny mind created that you can hold in your hand?  Murder?  Chaos all over the planet?  Hunger?  Rape?  And every other kind of horror.  Has your tiny mind created a solution to all these things?  And does your tiny mind really blame God for all this?   Are you really that stupid?  Or are you simply misguided.

I am frustrated by the denial men live their lives under.  If I tell them that the answer is to turn to God in humility, they laugh at me.  Yet if I point out their failing foolishness, they get angry.    Where is the godly man and woman in the face of all this stupidity?  Where are the voices of the “called out ones”?  The main stream “church” is full of the same kind of stupidity as the world.  Every place I attend I find smatterings of philosophy, psycho analytical nonsense, “how to’s”, and more books to read.  What?!   Is this the answer?  NO!

The Living God, present in the lives of man, is the answer.  Doing what He demands all men to do is the answer.  He will not be silent much longer.  And when He speaks you will wish you could just disappear, O’ World!  Right now is your day.  Go ahead.  Have it your way.  Speak the lies you embrace.  Sell each other the trinkets you have made to replace the Holiness of God.  Advertise all manner of foolishness to each other.  Speak of peace, while you are at war with the Most High God.  You are being manipulated by the father of lies.  And you don’t even notice.

Where is truth?  It is found in the Living God, through Jesus.  There is no other such thing as “truth”.  And what I have said will be found true.  But this is your day.  While you send truth to the pile of dung in your world of lies.  God will bring your lies to ruin.  Abandon will be your meal for eternity.  For you have abandoned the Lord of Life.  Hatred will be the fork and spoon you feed yourself with from you plate of “nothing”.  For nothing is what you hold so dear.  You want nothing!  And you’ll kill to get it.  Nothing is what you will receive.

What I testify about the Lord is true.  And you will taste it soon enough.  There is not one shred of doubt in me regarding the judgment to come or the present demand by God that all men turn to Him through His Son.  Yet you say “God is like us”.  Like you?????  Are you kidding?  Are you serious?  You want a God who lies?  You want a God who will die?  You want a God who gets sick?  You want a God who doesn’t know his ear from his toe?  Is this your version of God?

He says, the one who sins is the one who will die.  And you hate Him for being so blunt.  He created you and everything you have.  But you hate the fact that He asks you to give it all up and accept Him instead.  YOU ARE THE CREATED ONE!!!!  What do you have that you made for yourself from nothing?  You are a user.  Breathing uses the air God created.  Thinking uses the brains God created.  You point your created finger of hatred at God and His people.  You move your created tongue with hatred and lies.  You crain your created ear to hear others speak of things you want to hear.  And you ignore anything godly.  And I’m the foolish one?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Swatter is Coming.

Common house fly (Musca domestica).

The fly buzzes my head.  And he gives no thought that he is irritating me to violence.  He does not notice as my hand reaches for the fly swatter.  And he takes no notice of how I have dressed myself in patience for his destruction.  I will wait for him to lite in a place of my convenience.  Then I will unleash his end.  What was tethered in patience will become a lightning end.

So it is with the wicked against the Lord.  They give no thought of how irritating they are becoming to the Lord.  They do not notice how their lives are headed toward a place the Lord has established, the place of their destruction.  They speak and rail against Him while they take no notice of how He is dressed in an eternal patience.  They are the ones who count the minutes.  The Lord only counts for the sake of those who number, for eternity has no number of days.  He waits for them to lay down in the dirt; their days spent in rebellion and hatred for His Righteousness.  And then, He unleashes His perfect and Righteous Judgment upon the wicked.
