“And they did not repent of their murders nor their sorceries nor their sexual perversions nor their thefts.” Revelation 9:21 The other day I was reading an older book that has a take on the time during the Tribulation, trying to piece together what has been taught to people. During this time, this verse above was mentioned and I sat back and pondered it more. When you look at what has become a new common term, organized retail theft, and consider that apparently Target lost $400,000,000 in theft in one year, also Walmart theft is so high that it may raise the prices on all goods and even close some stores, according to the CEO, then perhaps this is just one more thing pointing to a direction of how close we are to the starting gun of the Rapture. With laws being passed in some areas of the country, protecting people from being prosecuted for thefts under a certain dollar amount (I believe $900 in San Francisco), this only aids in pushing this clear sin to the top, by removing the ‘wrong’. What idea goes into one’s head when you can not be prosecuted for ‘petty’ theft? Is it right or wrong? Are you entitled or not? Well the Bible is quite clear: “You shall not steal.” Exodus 20:15 This is one of the Ten Commandments. Yet we have leaders who say that there is a reason that people may steal and they are not going to do anything about it? Irregardless of the reason that theft is so high in the United...

“This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the emptiness of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to licentiousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which is corrupted according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.” Ephesians 4:17-24 One wonders with all of the current directions, often negative, that this world is going in, why people can’t see how the foundations for a futuristic, perhaps near term, end of the world scenario, as prophesied in the Bible, appears to be on the edge of fruition. A couple of days ago I watched part of a DVD video that I own called A Distant Thunder. I didn’t make it through the whole video, but there was a scene that seemed to be very relevant to the very day and age in which we live, though the Rapture hasn’t taken place yet and people have yet to have been Left Behind. In this scene and from previous scenes, there is this pastor who...

“So when Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, It has been finished! And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.” John 19:30 “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction; but be of good courage, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 “In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, buried with Him in immersion, in which you also were raised with Him through the faith of the working of God, who raised Him out from the dead. And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross; having disarmed rulers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” Colossians 2:11-15 There is a lot that could be said about this pandemic and the responses of not only the United States government, but governments all around the world. I’ve heard many arguments and have spent much time thinking on the matter. However, I will leave the debates as to what wise choices are regarding a new way to die in a world full of death (Heb. 9:27). One thing I do know is it is now abundantly clear that...

“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live with sound mind, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify a people for His own possession, zealous unto good works.” Titus 2:11-14 There has been much debate regarding the Rapture, which could be better termed His Glorious Appearing. There are even many pastors who sit on the fence, not knowing whether or not His Glorious Appearing is pre-tribulation or post-tribulation. Yet the Bible is quite clear and common sense should prevail that the Rapture will happen prior to the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7), better known as the Tribulation. The purpose in this chapter is not to just provide the evidence of the pre-trib Rapture being a sound doctrine, but also to provide needed information for those souls who will read such things, after having been Left Behind. For those whom God allows to be deluded by the Strong Delusion, what can be done? There opportunity for Salvation is prior to the Rapture and if they are those whom God is allowing to believe the lie (2 Thes. 2:11), after the Rapture, then their fate is sealed (Rev. 20:15). Consider the following verses: “And none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.” Daniel 12:10b “At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank You, Father,...

“And then the lawless one will be unveiled, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2nd Thessalonians 2:8-12 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of Heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and did not realize until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two will be in the field: one is taken and the other is left. Two will be grinding at the mill: one is taken and the other is left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord comes. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief comes, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be dug through. ...

“For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He is now restraining, until it is raised from out of the midst. And then the lawless one will be unveiled, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2nd Thessalonians 2:7-12 There is much writing that has been done over the years regarding the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7), known better by many as the Tribulation or the Great Tribulation. In fact the Bible talks about this being a time of great affliction. “For then there will be great affliction, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Matthew 24:21 “And I said to him, Sir, you know. So he said to me, These are the ones coming out of great affliction, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” Revelation 7:14 “And at that time, Michael shall stand up, the great ruler who stands for the sons of your people. And there shall be a...
