Preparing for the End Times

“And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.”
–Mark 13:37

Even though most do NOT believe God’s Word, a great many ARE aware that something is not right with the world.

They do not know WHAT it is that makes them uneasy, but they know all is not sweetness and light.

Some of that unaccounted-for uneasiness and anxiety comes from Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media). The media’s best-selling products are fear, hatred, anxiety and doubt.

But not all of it can be attributed to the daily doses of media anxiety.

Even though most do not believe the Bible, many are familiar enough with bits and pieces of God’s Word, which have them anxiously looking over their shoulders as mankind approaches the climax of human history (the return of Jesus Christ).

Many will not be able to effectively prepare because so many are deceived and irrationally believe that “things will get better–they always do!”

“And the great dragon…that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world”
–Revelation 12:9

A great many are deceived and have placed their hopes and faith for the future in government, man’s ingenuity and other schemes of man.

“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.”
–Psalm 40:8-9

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.”
–Psalm 146:3

“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.”
–Jeremiah 17:5

Still others–the preppers–have hoarded guns, freeze-dried food, gold and other trifles and have put their faith in their own survival skills.

“He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool”
–Proverbs 28:26

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”
–Proverbs 3:5

“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
–Proverbs 14:12

Many of those who have placed their faith for their future survival in physical things–supplies stored, survival skills learned, underground shelters–are living proof that these physical goods do not produce a lasting peace of mind. Such people always seem concerned they have forgotten something, want to make one more list of essentials “just to make sure” or voice concerns that others not as well prepared will take their stuff.

So clearly, storing physical goods is NOT the way to effectively prepare for the end times.

A large group of people–most of them church folk–have placed their faith in false teachers and preachers, who tell them fairy tales about what will happen in the end times. Because the false ones smile and are so congenial, the church folk find it hard to believe that these friendly, seemingly well-meaning men would be deceivers.

“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.”
–2TIMOTHY 3:13

” For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.”
–Acts 20:29-30

And so, a very large segment of the church folk follow after deceivers, buying their books, DVDs, CDs and other merchandise and becoming well-versed in their various fables. This dependence upon false information is NOT very effective preparation and the general anxiousness about what’s ahead of the church folk supply a testimony to this.

Still others–without the resources to buy gold, guns or groceries–throw up their hands and basically declare, “I give up! What can I do?”

WHICH IS A GOOD QUESTION: WHAT CAN THEY DO?

How is it that one can EFFECTIVELY prepare for what’s coming upon the earth?

GOOD NEWS: there are a few things which are ULTRA-IMPORTANT and which anyone–no matter who they are or what condition their spirit is in–can do.

MORE

1 – Study God’s Word.

NOWHERE in the Bible does it tell the reader to READ the Bible. The Bible instructs the reader to STUDY the Bible.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
–2TIMOTHY 2:15

If one has the resources, buy a set of Bible CDs and listen to them. Doing so will build one’s faith–probably without even realizing it.

Faith is a key which will unlock MANY previously-shut doors.

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
–Romans 10:17

2- Seek God with all your heart and tell him you sincerely want to know Him.

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
–Matthew 7:7-8

This advice from Jesus Himself is one of the most effective ways to get in touch with God–something that most have NEVER done before.

Once one experiences the spiritual rebirth–born again–so much information–as well as doors and pathways–will be opened.

To one who has had nothing but the weak tea of the apostate churches, this will be a VERY POWERFUL, never-before-experienced encounter.

3- There are other things one can do to prepare oneself, but they do not affect as many areas of one’s life.

4- Becoming a believer and sincerely placing one’s trust for the future in Jesus Christ is the ultimate preparation. The uneasinesss and anxiety one felt before will suddenly dissipate, to be replaced by a very relaxed, peaceful tranquility.

MORE: Prepare for the End: Become a Believer!

These are four things anyone can do to prepare for the end times.

It is sad that so many will forego the opportunity to effectively prepare because of their unbelief.

No matter what preparation the reader may have been involved with before, IF he undertakes the four listed suggestions, he will have a hard time remembering all of the dead ends he previously tried.

DOES the reader have general feelings of uneasiness about the future?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Hierarchy of Fear

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”
–1JOHN 4:18

ALL men have fear–particularly the unsaved.

These men may fear different things–but they ALL possess a fear of SOMETHING.

Let’s call each man’s different fears–and where they place on a grand chart of fears–a HIERARCHY OF FEARS.

Some men fear physical harm.

Others can image withstanding physical punishment, but fear being embarrassed in public.

And still others are most fearful of having to speak in front of a crowd.

“Studies have shown that public speaking is the thing that people fear the most. The second most-common fear is death. This means that most people would rather be the one in the casket rather than the one giving the eulogy.”
–Late night joke from several years ago

ALL men have a fear of SOMETHING.

And so it is that fear will be used as both a judgment AND a torment in the last days.

Each man will fear that which is at the top of his Hierarchy of Fear.

What each man fears MOST will be the torment and affliction that each man receives.

God’s Word is very clear that God Himself will choose the fear that each man receives.

The wicked–and foolish and evil–will be afflicted by their GREATEST fears.

“Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.”
–Isaiah 66:3-4

“The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.”
–Proverbs 10:24

DOES the reader have his own personal source of fear?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

God Reveals Himself: Righteous

God wants His creation to know Him.

To know ABOUT Him; to know His attributes.

And one of God’s main attributes is His RIGHTEOUSNESS.

RIGHTEOUS:

1 acting in accord with divine or moral law : free from guilt or sin

2 morally right or justifiable

One of the reasons God has preserved His Word and made it so freely available to all men is so that all men will KNOW Him; so that all men will KNOW about His righteousness.

Righteousness is one of the qualities God WANTS man to know about Him.

In fact, righteousness is one of the things in which God DELIGHTS.

“Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.”
–Jeremiah 9:23-24

“He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.”
–Deuteronomy 32:4

(Some, upon reading Deuteronomy 32:4, may wonder, “Man is God’s work and man is NOT perfect. So how can God’s work be perfect?”

But God created man to NOT be perfect.

Part of man’s perfect design are his flaws and imperfections–and man’s turning to God to eventually overcome those flaws and imperfections.

Man’s imperfections are a feature not a bug.)

Though it is difficult for man (who is NOT righteous) to comprehend a being who is COMPLETELY righteous, ALL men should keep in mind that a righteous God will one day judge an unrighteous world by His Son, Jesus Christ.

“Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.”
–Acts 17:31

Ultimately, those who are in the kingdom of heaven will praise God for ALL of his holiness and righteousness.

“And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.”
–Revelation 15:2-4

DOES the reader wish to know God better?

WHY or why not?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

Random Thoughts 8

RANDOM THOUGHTS 8
June 23, 2020
[Taken from several recent discussions as well as the odd note–but mostly from the odd note.]

* A great many follow various false teachers, hoping to discover what the end times plans and strategy of the enemy might be.

That great mob could have saved themselves some trouble–and the deceptions that listening to false teachers bring–by referring to God’s Word and by following Jesus’ advice in Mark 13:37.

“And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.”

END TIMES STRATEGY OF THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY:

Let homosexuality, murder and chaos run rampant until the populace cries out to be saved by those who instituted the widespread homosexuality, murder and chaos.
Set up a cry that the country needs to “return to god.” Never mind that the country was an enemy of God’s from the beginning.
Bait and switch: Offer the multitudes something that LOOKS like Christianity, but is really from the dragon (Satan).

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.”
–Revelation 13:11

* Jesus Christ was VERY clear about his ultimate mission while on earth.

It’s revealing that what Jesus Himself said completely contradicts what the sheep-skinned wolves often claim.

“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

“For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.”
–Matthew 10:34-36

That “a man’s foes may be they of his own household” may or may not be true of the lost, the heathen and the counterfeit.

But it will always be true of the genuine Christian.

* The unwisdom of trusting another man–even one believed to be trustworthy, such as friend or family–was an end times warning to believers by Jesus Christ. That warning was echoed by the prophet Micah–or rather Micah was echoed by Jesus–depending.

“Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.”
–Micah 7:5-6

* Jesus repeated His warning more than once to his apostles and disciples.

“And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.”
–Matthew 10:21-22

“And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.”
–Luke 21:16-17

* Those who are most deceived are likely to be those who depend the most on the government/media for their information.

But this sad, misinformed crew didn’t suddenly wake up one morning overtaken by deception: they–and their close associates–have a history stretching back decades.

“Those who manipulate the organized habits and opinions of the masses constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of the country…. It remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”
—Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928)

* In the end times, those who refuse to recognize easily-recognizable actions and events will be condemned to enjoy the fruits of such actions and events.

Some time ago, I was talking with an Associated Press reporter about the power elite’s conspiracy to bring about a world government. He asked whether what happened over roughly the last century wasn’t simply an organic evolution of events rather than a conspiracy. I replied that events didn’t transpire organically if there was an organized plan and network carrying it out.

Just ask yourself how certain people knew things before they happened over the last 100 years. How could Stephen Wise write in his autobiography, CHALLENGING YEARS, that in an address before the Trenton YMCA in 1910, he told them Woodrow Wilson would be elected New Jersey governor that year but not complete his first term before being elected president in 1912 and re-elected in 1916?

And relevant to World War I, how could the editor of THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY write that a leading political economist had recently said, “The most fearful war of the century is coming soon, “ in 1908? More specifically, how could Baha’i leader Abdul Baha be quoted in THE MONTREAL GAZETTE on September 11, 1912 as stating that “the time is less than two years hence (when) a tiny spark will set ablaze the world,” and World War I began the summer of 1914? And during the war, how could British King George at 11:30 a.m. on May 7, 1915 tell President Wilson’s chief advisor Colonel Edward M. House, “Suppose Germany should sink the LUSITANIA with American passengers on board,” and 2-3 hours later Germany did exactly that?

Prior to World War II, how could H.G. Wells in THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME in 1933 correctly predict that there would be a second world war beginning around 1939 and originating from a German-Polish dispute? And how could he also predict that the “Modern World-State” (world government) would succeed on its third attempt (after the U.N. failed) about 50 years later, coming out of a conference in Basra, Iraq? More specifically, regarding World War II, how could Sir Julian Huxley, on December 5, 1941 state that he hoped that America and Japan will be at war “next week” and Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on Sunday, December 7, the first day of the next week?

But in perhaps the most telling prediction covering most of the 20th century, how could Robert Hugh Benson in his 1907 LORD OF THE WORLD say that “in 1917… Communism really began…. (After 1989) the final scheme of Western Free Trade…. With the Release Act of 1998… there were ministers of euthanasia”? Benson also referred to the “American Socialism” and “free trade all over the world” to come.

How could all these people so accurately predict the future? Perhaps it was because the events they foretold were planned by the power elite! For example, Benson’s stepmother’s brother, Henry Sidgwick, was a founder of The Society for Psychical Research (SPR) along with Cecil Rhodes’ Circle of Initiates member British Prime Minister Arthur Balfour and others.

* The USA has always pointed the finger of blame at others–and done it very creatively and successfully.

Which is one reason so many mistakenly believe that the Nazis were responsible for the racial purity mumbo jumbo which came to be known as EUGENICS.

Eugenics is a set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population, historically by excluding people and groups judged to be inferior and promoting those judged to be superior.

Now, what group of people does the reader think looks on others as “judged to be inferior”?

At the end of the 1800s, many people in Indiana were being sterilized, so much so that even the Nazi doctors during the later Nuremberg trials after World War II referred to “the Indiana procedure.”
–Dennis Cuddy, The Indiana Connection (2002)

* MANY would be startled at how various items commonly used today got their start.
