BIBLE REFERENCE:
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2.
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT:
Until recently, I wasn’t sure what it meant to conform to this world as the Bible describes. Even though the world seemed to be spiraling out of control in many parts of our society, I’ve never ever imagined that I would see what I am seeing now. With all the evil escalating out of control, I can see now where the world is headed just as the scriptures declare. I’ve been studying the Bible over the last twenty-five years with a focus of intense study on the book of Revelation during this time as well. Knowing what the Bible has to say about what will take place in the end times and knowing that there will eventually be a one world government, religion, and currency that will be headed up by an evil dictator that is referred to in the Bible as the Antichrist, I now see that this is on the very near horizon. Basically, the groundwork has been laid and all the players are in position to bring about what the Bible says will happen just before the second return of Jesus Christ. We read in Daniel 7:23; “Thus he said, the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. The book of Daniel is the most incredible book in the Old Testament filled with end time prophecies. If you do an intense study of the book of Daniel and line it up with the book of Revelation, they go together like a horse and carriage. The verse above is referring to the one world leader that will come on the scene for the last seven years of existence in this world as we know it today.
We read in Revelation 13:13-16; “And he (The Antichrist) causes 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.” (666) Does all this sound familiar with what we are seeing on the streets and hearing in the social news media, I would give that a “BIG YES”, how about you? What hurts me the most is to see how many people I know that I thought trusted in Jesus Christ starting to conform to the one world order that is coming soon? How soon, nobody really knows, but to those of us who are watching the signs as we are all required to do and listening to the Holy Spirit speak to us, we know it is soon. Everything is in place including the participants that will be involved in this evil plot to destroy mankind. Just to reiterate what I have always said in the past, these are not my thoughts, these are the Words of God as it is clearly laid out the scriptures of the Bible. I’m just the messenger warning of an upcoming judgement just as Noah did just before the flood. With people mocking and laughing and hating those of us who are trying to warn everyone, here is a comforting verse from God to us, John 15:18; “If the world hates you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you.” I must be doing something right, pretty much all my friends have left me and no longer call me friend. At first it hurt, but when I read this verse, I knew I was on the right path. I would rather have the whole world hate me than to lose the love of the one who died for me and saved me from eternal damnation. Jesus calls me His child and there is no greater gift in this world than that.
With all this evil that is on the near horizon, let me comfort you with a message from God to those that follow Him and do not conform to this world. Daniel 2:44; “And in the days of these kings (from Nebuchadnezzar through the antichrist) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, [but] it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it (Gods Kingdom) shall stand forever.” Daniel is revealing a dream that Nebuchadnezzar had, and, in that dream, Daniel is explaining all the kingdoms of the world that will reign from Nebuchadnezzar all the way through the tribulation period. When the final kingdom of the Antichrist is over, this is what we (the born-again believers) have to look forward to after the end of the tribulation period. God is going to destroy all the kingdom that come up against Him during this time and set up His earthly kingdom for one thousand years.
If you haven’t already done so, get a Bible and study the book of Daniel with intensity and when you understand what is written, you will get a very good understanding of what is coming. It is not doom and gloom to those that put their trust in Jesus Christ. We, as the true Body of Christ have the “Blessed Hope” to look forward to where God has promised to keep us out of the tribulation that is about to come upon the whole world. 1 Thessalonians 5:9; gives us this promise, “For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,” 2 Peter 2:9 also gives us a message of hope, “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:” God will not judge the righteous with the wicked as the Bible clearly states. Throughout the Bible we read in many stories where God has removed His people from sure judgement before He brought destruction to the wicked people.
So, what do you think, where will you put your faith, in the world or in Jesus Christ? No one can make that decision for you, but you! The decision that you make will be eternal with no turning back. The time to make that decision could end very soon, so don’t wait another day, we never know what tomorrow will bring. “Written To the glory of God and Inspired by the Holy Spirit!” Amen!
