Vicious

“And they did not repent of their murders nor their sorceries nor their sexual perversions nor their thefts.”  Revelation 9:21 VW-Edition   “Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.”  Revelation 9:21 KJV   How can something be written prior to describe what the attitude of people will become during the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7), better known as the Tribulation?  There is only one way to do so.   Using God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures, the Bible (Acts 17:11) as our guide, one can get a glimpse into the attitudes and hearts of the people during that time.  Knowing that things are going to continue to get worse (2 Tim. 3:13) and in 2023 watching and being ready (Matt. 24:42-44), believing that the time is sooner than later, though not knowing for certain, our societies around the world already appear to be showing us a preview of things to come.   In the opening verse from Revelation chapter 9, it has been said that ‘sorceries’ refers to drug use.  Of course our societies have become full of searching out witchcraft, things relating to demons, etc., that is certain, but it has also become a place where rampant drug abuse, legalization of drugs and even prescription drugs, some of which have serious mind altering effects, have absolutely exploded with no end in sight.    Writing this in the spring of 2023 there is talk in the news about ‘tranq’ which puts people into zombie-like statuses, with videos found online showing horrific blocks of cities with drugged-out people hunched...

What Happened?

“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed; in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”  1st Corinthians 15:51-52 VW Edition   “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”  1st Corinthians 15:51-52 KJV   “For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shouted command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.  Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together at the same time with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”  1st Thessalonians 4:16-17 VW Edition   “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”  1st Thessalonians 4:16-17 KJV   The surest sign that you have that you have entered this time period known as the Tribulation is the fact that there...

Keep Looking Up!

This is part of a series of articles that is being published with the intention of being included in an upcoming book to be published in 2023.  These articles are written as useful to all prior to the Rapture, but also specifically as tidbits of information for those who will have been Left Behind to help aid in their plight.  For as we are to always be ‘watching and ready’ (Luke 12:37-40), it is quite possible that those individuals whom we walk past right now might very well be the ones who will have been Left Behind.   “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God. Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.  Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.  And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.”  1st John 3:1-3   There is/was an article posted on All Will Stand’s website entitled Think on These Things that exhort/ed Believers to keep focused on:   “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy; think on these things.”  Philippians 4:8   This was addressed to the news that had been getting worse and...

eBooks Available on Website

With All Will Stand’s business listing now being removed from Google, on top of Twitter and Facebook permanently banning the ministry page, the question is how long before the books are banned from Barnes & Noble, Kobo or Amazon?  This website is now prepaid until January 29, 2030, with the hosting included.  While I am well aware that the Antichrist world government will eventually take down websites, it seemed good to me to place the eBook versions of the copies that are out there to be available to download via the website. Should you run across this material during the Tribulation, download the book, place it on a thumb drive that you bought with cash (Walgreens sells cheap ones) and keep it out of sight.  Also download a copy of the VW edition Bible that is available.  Read it and keep it out of sight from prying online...

Falling Away

“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is unveiled, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is honored, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, declaring of himself that he is God.”  2nd Thessalonians 2:3-4   Recently I spent some time researching churches found in Rapid City, South Dakota, in many instances, if they had a head organization, ending up on their website to see what it is they have in their Statements of Faith.   There are several things that I look for when looking into Churches that preach the truth of God, which ones are closest to following what the Bible says.  Here is a short list:   1.) Do they preach repentance towards God and faith in Christ (Acts 20:21) or simply neglect repentance?  Do they have a basic ‘sinner’s prayer’ that is found nowhere in the Bible telling the person if they just prayed that to contact them and let them know?   2.) What is their type of music?  Is it traditional or not?  Do they have flashy lights and a stage?  Is it a rock concert?  Is it honoring to our Creator or not?   3.) Do they believe in a literal six day Creation as the Bible teaches in Genesis chapter 1?   4.) Do they believe in a literal Flood that only Noah, his three sons and their wives (8 in all) were Saved through (Gen. 6-8; 1 Pet....

Gog/Magog — Russia or Not?

Given the current events with war unfolding between Russia and Ukraine, it seemed good to address the Gog/Magog prophetic future and ponder where Gog/Magog and what the future may hold.   “And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?  And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.”  Daniel 12:8-9   Just as Daniel did not understand everything, so too, I do not proclaim to have all of the answers, but will merely point out what the Bible says about Gog/Magog and what seems to be a probable answer regarding these things, as well as ponder what the future might hold.  However, please note that the Rapture will have taken place prior to this event.  For further information please see His Glorious Appearing chapter.   38  “And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah...
