Prepare for the Onslaught 2

Hypocrites
Questions We Would Like to See Asked

Have No Fear

Mat 10:26-33 KJV  Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.  (27)  What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.  (28)  And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.  (29)  Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.  (30)  But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  (31)  Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.  (32)  Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.  (33)  But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Acknowledge Christ Before Men

Luk 12:8-12 KJV  Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:  (9)  But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.  (10)  And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.  (11)  And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:  (12)  For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

The bigger picture here is what we are not supposed to do concerning the Holy Ghost. That is to speak against it. Meaning we do not deny the Holy Ghost as in the resurrection. We do not deny that there is an afterlife that involves living in a kingdom. That Jesus is coming back again.

Judging Others

Mat 7:1-6 KJV  Judge not, that ye be not judged.  (2)  For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.  (3)  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?  (4)  Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?  (5)  Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.  (6)  Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Judging Others

Luk 6:41-42 KJV  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?  (42)  Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

The Message of Salvation to All

Rom 10:5-9 KJV  For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.  (6)  But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)  (7)  Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)  (8)  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;  (9)  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Rom 3:23 KJV  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Walking in the Light

1Jn 1:5-10 KJV  This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.  (6)  If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:  (7)  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.  (8)  If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  (9)  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  (10)  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

A Living Sacrifice

Rom 12:1-2 KJV  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  (2)  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

The Prayer of Faith

Jas 5:13-20 KJV  Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.  (14)  Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:  (15)  And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.  (16)  Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.  (17)  Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.  (18)  And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.  (19)  Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;  (20)  Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Before we get started let me first say a few things. Let it be known that I am a sinner. A sinner so bad that some people even though this ministry supports itself will either never accept my transformation in the Lord or will always be accusing me of being some kind of con artist. I have broken every commandment of course in my 53 years so far. Folks this easier now that I have matured in faith some over the years. I most certainly have been a thief. I most certainly have been a liar. I have had other gods than my Holy God the Father of the Son Jesus. Mostly in the natural realms opposed to spiritual. In other words worshipping things as opposed to false gods. I have coveted and been a complete monster to my mother in those rebellious times who had her hands full as a single mom for most of it. In addition to letting a lot of people down.  Events in the military taught me some new thoughts about how I approached the Lord but it still took time to get to this point where the Lord is blessing the studies of his word. Have no doubts about it my military service was honorable and eventful. However it's my duty first and foremost to publically (in this environment) to make sure that my sins are revealed so that we can look into the enemy's eyes and ears.

Teach Me Your Paths

Psa 25:1-7 KJV  A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.  (2)  O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.  (3)  Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.  (4)  Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.  (5)  Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.  (6)  Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses; for they have been ever of old.  (7)  Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

Psa 79:8 KJV  O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

Isa 38:17 KJV  Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

Psa 30:3 KJV  O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

Psa 16:10-11 KJV  For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.  (11)  Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

You Must Be Born Again

Joh 3:3-8 KJV  Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  (4)  Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?  (5)  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.  (6)  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.  (7)  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.  (8)  The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

The transformation that Paul talks about in Romans 12 is genuine and sincere. If not I would always be trying to bleed someone for money. The Lord has found a way for the 3 of us that right now actively function in this ministry to support ourselves and the good fight. Not expecting from anyone around us but we will let them assist if they offer insistently.

Blessed Are the Forgiven

Psa 32:1-11 KJV  A Psalm of David, Maschil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.  (2)  Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.  (3)  When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.  (4)  For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.  (5)  I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.  (6)  For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.  (7)  Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.  (8)  I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.  (9)  Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.  (10)  Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.  (11)  Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles

Rom 15:8-13 KJV  Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:  (9)  And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.  (10)  And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.  (11)  And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.  (12)  And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.  (13)  Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

Mat 10:5-15 KJV  These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:  (6)  But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.  (7)  And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.  (8)  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.  (9)  Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,  (10)  Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.  (11)  And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.  (12)  And when ye come into an house, salute it.  (13)  And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.  (14)  And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.  (15)  Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

I am not a political pundit for or against anyone unless they boldly proclaim the death of the unborn child known as abortion. I’m pro-life and the other side is pro-death. They boldly misquote the meaning of scripture like Jesse Jackson did in a recent interview. Boldly try and get in my face with their views on gay issues, transgender issues or no gender issues. In other words if you bring your fight to my face intentionally you can expect as a minister, student of the gospel and a veteran that I will boldly call you out or face you down. I never try and start a problem rather finish it.

Government officials lying about military service now expect all of us to jump how high at his or (their) words? This is the case with some guy named Blumenthal or something like that he expects everyone to listen to his comments about a cabinet pick for Trump when he lied about his military service. Especially about serving in Vietnam.

I admitted my sins to you all above in 53 years of living that I have broken every commandment in the book and then some probably. However over the last 15 years or so I have done a lot better never perfect or claiming to be. It’s always a struggle for any believer most likely.  All you need know is to run into someone who knew me say 20-25 years ago and they will tell you. See the Bible calls for public confession and the way it works is like this. Now that I have shared the broad concept of all my sins with 55,000 or so folks will our officials who we know have lied go on the record for us. Then explain to us why lawlessness is approved in sanctuary cities. Just remember folks Satan will chew you up and spit you out if you love lawlessness.

This is called removing the beam from my eye and then assessing the situations going on around me. I would like to know if people like Elizabeth Warren who I believe got a free ride to Harvard on the backs of real Native Americans who have evidence that trumps family hearsay is hypocritical. I have more Cherokee in my blood than she has ever wondered about. My maternal great grandmother was full blooded Cherokee. No questions asked.

The reason I made the comment about Mr. Jackson above was concerning the recent interview he gave on one of the Fox news evening shows. He wanted to say that Abraham makes all religions 1 more or less. In other words he felt a need to remind us that Abraham fathered Islam. No Abraham did not father Islam he fathered Ishmael who was the father of the Arabs.  Then they went on to form the religion of Islam.

God Protects Hagar and Ishmael

Gen 21:8-21 KJV  And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.  (9)  And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.  (10)  Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.  (11)  And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.  (12)  And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.  (13)  And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.  (14)  And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.  (15)  And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.  (16)  And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.  (17)  And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.  (18)  Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.  (19)  And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.  (20)  And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.  (21)  And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

Isaac's Birth Promised

Gen 17:15-27 KJV  And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.  (16)  And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.  (17)  Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?  (18)  And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!  (19)  And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.  (20)  And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.  (21)  But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.  (22)  And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.  (23)  And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.  (24)  And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.  (25)  And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.  (26)  In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.  (27)  And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.

Any way someone should get a video camera and ask Mr. Jackson to ask any Muslim on the street if allah has a son named Jesus that hung on a cross and died for our sins to be resurrected to bring us into a kingdom. Any Muslim worth their salt will tell him no. Now tell me that Abraham who fathered Isaac the covenant child that gave us Jesus ultimately fathered Islam who denies Jesus’ divinity, death, burial and resurrection. You see I don’t know if Jesse Jackson wants to be a Reverend or an Imam.  Maybe that would be the question we would like to see regarding this situation.

Luk 3:33-34 KJV  Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda,  (34)  Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor,

Maybe someone should ask the idiots behind all the violence on college campuses about their judgmental practices. We know that someone who merely represents something different from themselves is enough for them to try and justify their idiocy. How about we ask them this question. What about the Palestinian and Muslim folks or students that shout death to Israel death to Jews and maybe even America itself? They’ll think that’s great right up to the point they realize the choice that Islam gives them. Which will be something like conversion, servitude or death most likely by beheading.

Before we keep making fictitious at this point accusations concerning Trump and Putin someone should be asking former president Obama every time he does an interview about that  flexibility issue with Mr. Putin he (Obama) orchestrated out of his own mouth. Remember the one on video? That I am sure most every left leaning political person would rather us forget about.

President Barack Obama was caught on camera on Monday assuring outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he will have "more flexibility" to deal with contentious issues like missile defense after the U.S. presidential election.
Obama, during talks in Seoul, urged Moscow to give him "space" until after the November ballot, and Medvedev said he would relay the message to incoming Russian president Vladimir Putin.

How about a few years back when Nancy Pelosi sat on a couch with Bassar Assad talking with him and making the foolish announcement Israel was ready to talk. Forget about that one also I guess. How about the lady just the other day (I am trying to be nice by not throwing so many names around) from California also who did not know the difference between Russia advancing in Korea or I guess in Crimea is what she meant. But she calls everyone else ignorant I suppose. You know the invasion that took place well known on Obama and Kerry’s watch. Don’t worry as Jesus says all things will be brought forth.

Luk 12:1-3 KJV  In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.  (2)  For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.  (3)  Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

We can always have James Taylor stare straight at the floor and sing "You've Got A Friend"

like we did in Paris.

Again nothing but silence on an issue you think some would be chomping at the bit for. I guess it depends on who gets to ask the questions. Or better yet who’s answering them in the case of the main stream media. You wonder some times how many people are like you and turn off the news as soon as the bashing starts. Our local news channel here in Johnson City Tn got to ask a question at a press briefing.

Guess what? Here in the heart of coal country where thousands packed in to see Donald Trump the same news channel paid more attention to about 20 people standing outside protesting. Any way back to the question the reporter got to ask. Again here in the heart of coal country where the last 8 years has destroyed the lives of miners of which were my great grandparents, and grand parents at one time the question was as follows. What assurances can we give the people worried about the environment when the coal industry starts back up. Again here in this area the people worried about the environment numbered about 20. I guess this guy who asked the question forgot the sweat and blood not only of my grandparents but thousands of others a lot more than 20 kept his electricity on during his lifetime.

Also this same news channel which is a CBS affiliate let a national story run concerning the protests around what they call federal raids. Well they totally ignored the fact that at least 75 % of these folks were known felons. The others we have no idea about until now. Well guess what my favorite local news channel as a kid here in Johnson City Tn allowed that to go unchecked. I guess they want the same lawlessness the rest of the country wants. In some cases having known murderers walking the streets in sanctuary cities. I am a minister not an activist. That’s why I’ll dodge the name for the station. It’s important to point out what we are not being told.

Remember Barak Obama had more “flexibility” for Vladimir Putin.

Remember Barak Obama had 787 billion dollars to fix every streetlight, pot hole and red light in the United States. So the next time some liberal politician starts ranting about how Trump is going to fix infrastructure we should ask them what happened to their fair share of 787 billion dollars.

Remember Hillary Clinton had the reset again with that silly grin on her face.

Remember Hillary Clinton roped off the press like cattle. Our politicians are lucky actually blessed that they only have to account for their actions in this world with us. As in us being people not the Lord. However the Lord will be making their problems known to them at the appropriate time.

Remember Hillary Clinton made a big deal with the Russians in which they made off with 20% of our uranium production.

Remember the last 8 years of no accountability in the government by both parties but mostly liberals and a mainstream media which completely overlooked constant buzzing of our ships and planes, criminal illegal aliens killing American citizens such as Kate Steinle and invasions by Russia into Ukraine and Syria.

Remember Crimea not Korea when politicians that think they are smarter than everybody else try to give a geography lesson.

Remember we have 2 books of the Kings and the Chronicles respectively in scripture. They tell us how politics and religion work together or should we say were meant to work together.

Remember we do not endorse nothing but the truth here. It’s just 95% of all the fake news is not really fake news it’s just not 100% truthful.

Another way we as believers should prepare for the onslaught is concerning climate change. You see most hard core believers believe in climate change we call it the 4 seasons.

You see most believers believe in global warming as we believe in Revelation 7,8,9,2nd Peter 3 and many others.

God's Wrath on Unrighteousness

Rom 1:18-32 KJV  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;  (19)  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.  (20)  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:  (21)  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  (22)  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,  (23)  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.  (24)  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:  (25)  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.  (26)  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:  (27)  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.  (28)  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;  (29)  Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,  (30)  Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,  (31)  Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:  (32)  Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

The Day of the Lord Will Come

2Pe 3:1-13 KJV  This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:  (2)  That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:  (3)  Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,  (4)  And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.  (5)  For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:  (6)  Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:  (7)  But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.  (8)  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  (9)  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  (10)  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.  (11)  Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,  (12)  Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?  (13)  Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

The Seven Trumpets

Rev 8:6-13 KJV  And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.  (7)  The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.  (8)  And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;  (9)  And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.  (10)  And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;  (11)  And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.  (12)  And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.  (13)  And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

Rev 9:13-21 KJV  And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,  (14)  Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.  (15)  And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.  (16)  And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.  (17)  And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.  (18)  By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.  (19)  For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.  (20)  And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:  (21)  Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

The Fall of Babylon

Rev 18:1-24 KJV  And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.  (2)  And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.  (3)  For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.  (4)  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.  (5)  For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.  (6)  Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.  (7)  How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.  (8)  Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.  (9)  And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,  (10)  Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.  (11)  And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:  (12)  The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,  (13)  And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.  (14)  And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.  (15)  The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,  (16)  And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!  (17)  For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,  (18)  And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!  (19)  And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.  (20)  Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.  (21)  And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.  (22)  And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;  (23)  And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.  (24)  And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Called to Be Holy

1Pe 1:13-25 KJV  Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;  (14)  As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:  (15)  But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;  (16)  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.  (17)  And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:  (18)  Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;  (19)  But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:  (20)  Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,  (21)  Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.  (22)  Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:  (23)  Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.  (24)  For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:  (25)  But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Remember when we start hearing things like the peace and security of Israel or the world in general.

1Th 5:1-12 KJV  But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.  (2)  For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.  (3)  For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.  (4)  But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.  (5)  Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.  (6)  Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.  (7)  For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.  (8)  But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.  (9)  For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,  (10)  Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.  (11)  Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.  (12)  And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

Remember what Jesus said about these times.

The Coming of the Son of Man

Luk 21:25-28 KJV  And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;  (26)  Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.  (27)  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.  (28)  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

The Lesson of the Fig Tree

Luk 21:29-33 KJV  And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;  (30)  When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.  (31)  So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.  (32)  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.  (33)  Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

Watch Yourselves

Luk 21:34-38 KJV  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.  (35)  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.  (36)  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.  (37)  And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.  (38)  And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

Luk 21:28 KJV  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Rev 16:15 KJV  Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
