REFLECT
A MOMENT
|
For
this generation, we spread abroad, WORLDWIDE, a beam of light (YESHUA), a
glimpse of Hope and Truth, as we prepare the way and usher in the imminent
return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Following are excerpts from a series of articles which the Father has graced me to write for MessiahNet.com, where they will be appearing soon. As it’s name implies, my hearts cry is for the Body of Christ to come together in oneness; Jews and Gentile believers together, walking as one man; coming into the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Yeshua the Messiah). I pray like Jesus prayed....

Make Us One In the last edition of this newsletter, Reflect A Moment, we shared with you a little about the generation of the fig tree and how that we, right now, are living in this wonderful generation of the fig tree. My friend this is the final generation that will witness, not only the reign of the antichrist, but this is the final generation that will also witness the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You see, we don't have to wonder or guess about the chain of events that will take place in these last days...Jesus has already foretold us everything. Not only that, but he has given us enough examples in His Word through His prophets, Daniel, Joel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Micah, and Amos, just to name a few, of how these last days will play out. You see my friend there is nothing new under the sun. Everything that has been, shall be again...just like it happened before. Let's consider this Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play." Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon the ends of the world are come. (1 Corinthians 10:1-11) Do you see that, all these things happened unto them as examples and they happened for our admonition. In other words, so that we could learn from them those chain of events that will happen in these last days. (upon whom the ends of the world are come) Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. (1 Corinthians 10:12) This my friend is not the hour to fall. Neither is it the hour to be asleep, or to be found naked, without your gospel armor on. This is the hour when we, the Body of Christ, the entire House of Israel, must keep our war clothes on...the whole armor of God. We don't have time, people of God, to fight and come against one another. Hear Oh Israel, the Lord thy God is one Lord. And because He is Lord over all, we His people, must settle it in our minds, that we together, the House of Judah and the House of Israel must prepare to meet our Lord (Yeshua the Messiah) when He returns. You see there was a time when salvation was available only to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, but now, because of His grace and mercy, the invitation is open to all. Whether you are black or white, of Jewish descent or of non-Jewish descent, Greek, or Gentile... Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, Whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Acts 2:36, 39) Has He called you my friend? More importantly, have you responded to that call? If you have, do you know exactly what it is that you have been saved from? Are you sure, without a shadow of a doubt, that you are covered by the blood of Jesus? Do you know, right now, whether you have the seal of God in your forehead. These things you must know in these end times. Here's the reason why. 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. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. (Revelation 13:11-14) Let's just pause for a moment. As we shared in our last edition, the antichrist - which means (instead of Christ) will appear before the return of the real Jesus Christ. And his sole purpose, Body of Christ, will be to deceive the entire world into believing that he is the real Jesus Christ. And yes, he'll come with signs and he'll display all kinds of supernatural miracles in the sight of men, just to convince you, those who don't have the seal of God in their forehead, that he is God. Unfortunately, many will be deceived, except for God's elect. Where do you stand my friend? Will you be able to recognize him (the antichrist)...the false Christ, the pretender, when he comes. Forget the traditions of men, which for years have taught us that, we the Church, will be raptured to heaven before the reign of antichrist, and have told us, that we the Church, will not be here. But is that what the Bible teaches? I can assure you that those traditions of men are not biblically correct. Jesus Christ returns at the 7th Trump - the Last Trump. Satan the pretender shows up at the 6th Trump. Unpack your bags and put on your gospel armor. Playing Church is over. (See our last edition). And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. (Revelation 13:15-17) |
Will you receive his mark? Will he convince you, child of God, that he is the real Jesus Christ? Will you bow and worship him? God forbid! But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand), then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains: (Mark 13:14) Now in order to understand this abomination that shall take place let's go to the prophecy given to Daniel the prophet. Before we talk about this, let's reflect back to our last edition. There we shared with you from 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 how that the man of sin, the son of perdition (satan) must be revealed who will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God, "so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God". This the bible says WILL happen BEFORE our gathering together with Jesus Christ. Again I say unto you....unpack your bags! See God is so good, He didn't leave us in the dark, He foretold for us all things. We simply must stay alert. Keep your eyes on Jerusalem...the city of the Great King. The pretender, the instead of Jesus, will be there shortly. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (Daniel 9:27) The bottom line is this, satan will appear with all his lying signs and wonders...the world will be deceived, except for God's elect. Don't YOU be deceived. Let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. (Revelation 18:4) And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: And let him tht is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! (Mark 13:15-17) Do you hear that Body of Christ, WOE to them that are with child. Don't you know that we are suppose to be chaste virgins for the Lord. When He comes at the Last Trump - the 7th Trump, He doesn't want to find out that we, His Bride, have been sleeping around with the antichrist (committing spiritual adultery). This is the same thing as idolatry when you worship something or someone other than Him...Jesus Christ. Let's listen to what the Apostle Paul had to say about it For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. (2 Corinthians 11:2, 3) My friend, please don't be beguiled (wholly seduced) like Eve was seduced in the garden by satan. God forbid! And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. (Mark 13:18) In other words, out of season. Harvest time is not in the winter. Wait, I say, on the Lord! For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. (Mark 13:19, 20) That's good news Body of Christ. The reign of the antichrist has been shortened. He only has five months to perform his tricks. Let's go to the book of the unveiling And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. (Revelation 9:4, 5) Do you have God's seal? There's no need to worry! And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light. And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. (Mark 13:21-27) After it's all been said and done then shall they see the Son of Man (Jesus) coming in the clouds with great Power and Glory. I say to you once more...unpack your bags...we will not be gathered back to Him (Jesus) until AFTER the reign of antichrist. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. (Mark 13:30, 31) The Father has a plan. Just as it's recorded in His Word, it shall surely come to pass. Oh what an exciting time to be alive! God shall surely restore the entire House of Israel back together again when our blessed Lord, Yeshua the Messiah, returns at the 7th Trump. Those who have prepared to meet him...those wise virgins with oil still left in their vessels will cry out with the voice of triumph "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" What a time that will be, as we rejoice and all together sing the victory song to our beloved bridegroom...The Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb...Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.....Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah...Selah More in our next edition. |

Moments of Meditation
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee. Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee. (Proverbs 3:27-29)
