Dec.
16, 2008 WORLD GOVERNMENT is
the rage right now! Such an article can
be read on “Financial Times”
Now, Microsoft
wants to “get under your skin” with new RFID chips!! http://www.infowars.com/?p=6568 Prelude to the mark of the beast,
folks!
Plus, if you watch
any TV at all ~ you’ve probably already noticed the ads for a trackable GPS
device called zoombak that you can place on your teenager’s car, your pet, your
spouse who you may mistrust, etc. etc.
(The ads of course, are making it LOOK “very attractive” ~ hmm…. Similar
to the subtle serpent whispering to Eve!!….
and then she decided herself “that it was pleasant to the eyes”… and
“a tree desirable”… and well ~ we know the rest of THAT
story!! “she took of its fruit and ate.
She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate”….. and *KA-THUD*
~
thus, began the fall of mankind!!
One
quote from site: “I purchased
Zoombak when my teenage daughter got her first car. Knowing when she comes and
goes from home & school provides a level of comfort...It makes her feel
secure that we can see how she is doing."
Key
words here: “Comfort”!! “Feel secure”!! And then you’ve got
people ~ my own loved ones even ~ who eat up everything the media spews at them!
~ very likely including commercials for a product that’s offering them: 1. comfort
~AND~ 2. security!! I can see it
all now! They’ll want to “PROTECT” their
children from harm….
The cunning serpent
will, once again, be whispering (more likely though: SHOUTING and
demanding!) during The Tribulation that
everyone take his mark!!
Can’t you just hear
the slithering accent: “Did
God REALLY say…..??…. that you will burn
forever in the Lake of Fire for taking this silly ol’ mark?! Ha!
You don’t really believe that, do you??! I see lots of lakes around here, but no fire
in them! Ha! That’s absurd & insane… Why, this thing can SAVE your life!!
It can PROTECT your children!!….. take it, take it,
T-A-K-E I-T!!!”
His slick, crafty
salesmanship will then turn into fierce countenance, with a DEMAND that this
mark be taken — or you will be tortured beyond anything you can imagine. [Please understand I am writing this to the
“general YOU”… the ones who are not taken in the pre-trib
rapture.]
God allows us to
make the most important decisions in life!!
What will we do with His Son & where we will spend eternity. I pray that you
make the right decision! Time is ticking
away! This world is ripe for the mark of
the beast, a one world government, and a cunning, subtle serpent to run
it!!
So where is the
*HOPE* in that? The BLESSED HOPE is only
for those who are trusting in & obeying Jesus on this side of the
rapture.
The hope for the
world, for all those left here to endure hell on earth, is that for the
multitude of people who will not cowardly give in & take the mark (to avoid
painful death & suffering “now”; however, they will suffer for all
eternity for taking it Rev
21:8; Rev
14:11) but instead, for
the ones who will buck up & endure whatever they have to, including death,
torture, seeing their children starve… whatever it takes, it
will be but a moment of time compared to eternity, and thenthey
are guaranteed by God Himself: (once they’re martyred & in heaven) Rev.
7:16 They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun
shall not strike them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the
throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of
waters. And God will wipe away every tear
from their eyes.” ~~ Different subject
now… When someone ~ I don’t care WHO
this “great
& awesome” *Bible teacher*
is…. When anyone claims that we can wallow in sin & still be in the fold,
well don’t take my word for it, what does Scripture say? “I say this because some ungodly people have
wormed their way into your churches, saying that God’s marvelous grace allows us
to live immoral lives,” Jude 4 goes on
to explain: “The condemnation of such
people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord,
Jesus Christ.”
And so, I am
extremely grateful to the (remnant it would seem!) truth-loving teachers out there like Joseph
Chambers who wrote: http://pawcreekministries.org/articles_pcm/salty_saints/the-rapture-the-triumph-of-patience.htm Excerpts: The Bible makes
no such room for careless living. You will never
find one scripture in the Holy Bible that even suggests that those living in sin
will inherit the eternal kingdom. The
opposite is always declared without compromise. Bible Holiness is
not only right but the only way into the Kingdom. I am not talking
about man-made standards but a Biblical culture. Further excerpt: “Every commandment and restriction in Holy
Scripture is based on our likeness to God.
Sin is anything that reduces my life from the image of my Father. The commandments, both in the First and New
Testaments are never given to restrict our liberties or to place bondage on our
lives. They are given to protect His
likeness in men, to keep us in His image and in His glory. That’s the culture of
Holiness that will fill heaven and the New Earth and no one will inherit the
Heavenly future without the Heavenly culture and lifestyle. The Bible teaches this culture and clearly
makes it the only acceptable life in His family. The Rapture will be the final triumph of
Holiness over sin and worldly living.”
…. Amen
& AMEN!! Finally, I don’t
recall ever knowing Todd Strandberg (of Rapture Ready) who is a solid &
grounded man of the Lord to so adamantly express that we should hasten (by our
prayers) for Jesus to come!

And when he says he
feels like a stranger living in this land, or more recently like Lot living
among Sodomites….. Oh yeah!! ~ can indentify!
So I add my, “EVEN SO, COME LORD JESUS!!” Will you “amen that” and add your request,
too?!
