“But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.” Luke 17 25-29
More Context, read the rest of the chapter.
“Men/Women love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil.”
You see this in living color in every cultural influence of our day. As it was in the days of Lot. As it was in the days of Noah.
We must speak the truth because of our Love for God, who loves mankind.
Jesus loved mankind so much that he died for the whole world’s sins.
The whole world is not saved because mankind does not love God. They love their sins, opinions, egos, and themselves more than anything.
They can love a little Image of Jesus like the Buddaist loves a little Image of Buddha.
Some Christian Idolaters love the image and reputation of Jesus, but they are workers of iniquity who don’t know Jesus.
The same Jesus that can forget our sins when we forsake and repent also has given himself the ability to forget those who have forgotten they were forgiven and delivered.
We must speak the truth because of our Love for God, who loves mankind.
We must remember the very ones Jesus came to save rejected him.
Because they loved darkness rather than light.
Judgment came to Noah’s world.
Judgment came to Lot’s world.
Judgment is coming; of unspeakable imagination in our world.
It is God’s desire to deliver and save from darkness.
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God:
which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
1 Peter 2:9-10
From the Pope to the President
Bishops/Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopal, Baptist, Pentecostal, Non-Denominational,
Too many “Christian” leaders have been mute, blind, and cowardly to preach the truth of scripture boldly for so long that the world of Christians are ignorant of what the Bible says about the issues beating down their doors and kidnapping their children’s minds, hearts, and morals.
Some have become messengers of satan, promoting agendas that are against nature. Against God. Against the Bible.
The Bible told us this would happen, even as it was,
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:11-13
This present darkness is a darkness that is proud and militant. How long before they beat down doors like it happened to Lot’s house?
Till this world’s debauchery that becomes militant and so concentrated that ALL of the Men are wicked and twisted?
God could not find 10 out of 30K that were righteous?
Look what the Power of darkness is doing using elementary schools. They have taken over the colleges, High Schools, and now they want the smallest children… down to toddlers.
What happens when they have successfully silenced all of those who resist?
As it was in the days of Lot.
Still yourself. Get Ready to know what it means to stand.
Remember, the National Hockey League had only one player refusing to wear Rainbow Jerseys?
I was so surprised, ONLY ONE.
That one player, Ivan Provorov, he shows us the tyranny of this present darkness and iniquity. “How dare he not celebrate our sin.”
We are accelerating toward a day like Noah and Lot when God will destroy everyone, save a few.
I want to be one of the few.
I desire to compel as many as I can like Peter did in Acts 2, “Save yourself from this perverse generation.”
Don’t think that things will get better.
We better labor while it is called day.
There is coming a day when no one will be able to labor.
China, its worshippers must be in secret.
In the Middle East, its worshippers must be in secret.
America, it seems many of its Christians are in secret.
How many never darken a church door?
How many don’t read their Bible?
How many never really pray?
Sadly, how many are apart of the clamoring crowd seeking to crucify the Word of God, even as the religious successfully crucified the Word made flesh?
People, Get Ready; Jesus is Coming.
Like a thief.
In the Night.
In an hour, you think not.
Why? Because it’s essential to God to gather those who love him enough to live for him, not just those who don’t want to go to hell. The unexpected moment is a way of God sifting the wheat from the chaff.
If you are not ready before, there are no second chances when God has closed the door.
Do you love light?
Or do your deeds, thoughts, habits, and imagination betray the truth about yourself?
Are you a lip worshipper but not really a true worshipper?
God desires those to worship him in Spirit and in Truth.
If you can’t live for God when the contrast of darkness and light is growing.
Do you not have enough discernment to know, “I better get right and live for God?”
For your own good?
That your children would be saved?
The lack of urgency speaks to the true depth of doubt and carnality of our hearts.
God forgive us.
God help me to life like there is no tomorrow and I must save myself and reach for those I love and know.
Jesus is coming.
Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand.
In Him, By Him, Through Him,
