Hello, and Peace To All of You...

Funny as time goes by, things in reality never change... History repeating itself has been the mantra for mankind throughout our history... As we began in the Garden of Eden, a place of unparalleled beauty, and splendor, yet it was not enough... We can be fooled by our physical surroundings, and circumstances while believing all is well.. When the reality is quite the contrary in the eyes of God...

The flesh is never sufficient, and should not be trusted to the point of giving any of us a false sense of security... The things pertaining to the physical world is likened unto a flower in Psalm chapter 103 verses 15-22... As with all things pertaining to the flesh, it fades away as the flower... But for the those who place their trust in God while in the flesh, and obey HIS commandments, these will indeed will be with HIM for eternity through HIS SON Jesus Christ..

So our trust in the Spirit, Who is God, is vital to our enduring, and putting into proper perspective this world we live in... There is duality throughout scripture, and we are on the cusp of a 7 year period of prosperity as it were during the time of Joseph... What we do as individuals during this time frame is going to be quite a test for those of us who are flesh, and blood, yet called for a most important purpose as Hebrews chapter 2 points out...

While the inhabitants that make up what is referred to as the West continue to build a huge chasm between themselves, and God because of the mystery of lawlessness, those who understand this truth must not be deceived due to the economic prosperity that will be experienced despite the moral degenerate state of many... A false sense of security will set in as God judges the Western World... The warnings are there for this nation, and other countries that make up the West... But will these declarations of impending disaster be heeded by those who are spiritually lost?...

If history is an indicator, the answer is an emphatic NO!... Lasciviousness, and degradation has grown during this 7 year period of economic wanting... Quite the contrary of what transpired during the depression of the 1930's... With the passage of many immoral laws during these last 7 years, who believes that the spiritual state of the West, especially within the US,will find the majority truly seeking to draw near to their Creator on HIS TERMS?..

There is a reality that those of us who are viewing the situation within this country, and the world from an honest perspective... If indeed we are discerning the times we live in, while putting it all within the proper context as scripture points out... As a whole, will this nation repent?... Or have those who are defined by iniquity come to the point of not returning from the hedonistic state that dominates the spirit in a great many who live in the West?...

Looking at the time frame between the 1st, and 2nd World Wars, which was about a 23 year period, and how long it has been since another war of that magnitude was fought, we see that God has allowed for a far longer period of time to elapse in between this time... More than likely there are at least several reasons for this... While wars have been fought in between this 70 year period since the end of World War 2, technology has increased dramatically, while weapons of warfare have become more sophisticated, and even more deadly, as well as destructive... There has always been rumors of World War 3 at some point coming to fruition, but as of yet that has not occurred... Not because it could not have had mankind been left to our own devises... But simply because it was not time in accordance to the will of our Creator...

While unrepentant sin continues to mount up as time passes, this will only lead to a far larger loss of life once this imminent war has been fought... Which nations will find themselves on the losing end of this perilous war, will not be the ones who were victorious during the first 2 World Wars... Not necessarily because we did not have the capacity from a physical standpoint to win... But because we will be found wanting from a spiritual perspective... Pride does indeed come before the fall...

It is inevitable for all nations to eventually fall... No nation has ever continued to be a dominate power forever as God has ordained it to be so... Sin has always been the primary factor for a nations demise, and God never has, and never will change how HE judges nations upon HIS earth...

Besides, there will come a point in time when the world must be split into 10 regions that will be ruled by 10 kings... And this will not be stopped as scripture points out this Satanic kingdom will come to pass... It fulfills the 7th head, which is compared to a mountain, or kingdom to be fulfilled... In order for this to happen, and for nations to become so desperate for survival, alliances will be formed that will bring about these 10 worldwide superstates....

And it will all be done in the name of "peace, and security."... (see 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 3)...

But the beginning of the end, or the beginning of the 7 years of tribulation will not have begun at that point in time... For there will once again be a period of transition that will lead to the rule of the beast, or man of sin over these 10 regions for a period of 3, and one half years, or 1260 days... These 10 horns (see Revelation chapter 17), or 10 toes (see Daniel chapter 2) will rule for a short period of time as Revelations chapter 17 verse 10 declares...

This 7th, and last kingdom will be the one that Satan will give authority to the beast to rule over as Revelation chapter 13 verse 4 points out... For you understand that ultimately the dragon, or Lucifer is the king over this 7th head, or kingdom... As he was over the 6 kingdoms that preceded this final 7th one...

The spiritual has and always will supersede the flesh, and have dominion as scripture points out... Which is why our focus within our individual lives must be on our need for the Holy Spirit of God to help us to endure such events with a proper frame of mind, and perspective... Without HIM in us, we will not possibly finish what is a spiritual race on the straight, and narrow path that God Almighty has placed us on...

There is no reason to fear such times... For our Loving God is granting us the understanding of the fulfillment of them, as well as time to prepare for such difficult physical circumstances... Those who are relying on the flesh for deliverance from the times we now live in, and the times that lie ahead will fall away because of their faith being placed in that which in reality cannot save... Remembering that our Father in heaven has allowed for Satan to continue to develop, and control kingdoms that have, and do exist simply because of mankind's failure to obey HIS WORD...

Hebrews chapter 3 declares we need to view the mistakes of the past, and apply the wisdom of God in order to ensure we do not repeat the mistakes that the great majority of mankind has throughout our sordid history... Let us ensure that we represent, and declare HIM who is the solution, and not become what is the problem...

If God, who is love, defines who we are, will are certain not to fail at all... To be a light for God's glory while enduring the end of what will be the most perilous time that has ever been... And as scripture points out, will ever be... Climaxing at the return of our Messiah who save mankind from certain annihilation at the blowing of the last, and 7th trumpet of God's angel... The beginning of the overthrow of a system, and kingdom that has resulted in nothing more than despair, sorrow, deception, and death...

Love our enemies, and of course we must love one another... For without love, or God fully in us through the Lord Jesus Christ, all the knowledge of God's prophetic Word will not benefit the one who understands, or believes it will come to pass... For while prophecies are fulfilled in accordance to God's will, and become a part of history, God's love endures forever... (see 1 Corinthians chapter 13)... There have been those who possessed great gifts from God... Yet have not exercised, and been perfected by the love which defines our Creator... Having a spiritual gift, or gifts does not always translate into that individual "working out their salvation with fear, and trembling."... There have been those who have used the name of God for vain, and selfish reasons...

So if indeed it is a 7 year period beginning from this year 2015, let us all be wise in using the time God is granting us not to be deceived by the illusion of physical circumstances... For physical circumstances can, and will change in a moment... If the flesh defines one, and is that which is treasured most, what will become of that individual when it perishes, or fades away?... Let us remember the lessons within scripture as we continue to fight the good fight...

Keeping it in perspective my dear brethren, and praying unceasingly for the saints of the MOST HIGH GOD...
