1 John‬: 2
“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake. I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him…”

*violence—evil—and—the—demonic*

Well, they are showing up in towns and cities across America. Even other countries…

Though it seems that it is mostly a macabre fad among young people fascinated by the bizarre and the… well… Creepy, there have been reports of the Clowns attempting to Lure Children into the woods for Nefarious Purposes. The police are even arresting them in some places…

Television news programs around the world are doing Stone—Cold Serious reports about the Craze…

The Creepy Clown phenomenon is probably harmless, but it does make us ask one question: Why are Americans Increasingly drawn to the demonic???

Which leads me to an observation: Apparently the demonic SELLS!!!

All you have to do is look at America’s amusement parks in the halloween season. Even the most innocent and fun theme parks take on a Threatening, Fear—Inducing personality during this time…

And NO more Casper the Friendly Ghost characters, now the parks feature the most Sickening, Horrifying, Repulsive, even demonic and satanic characters. And with the modern advancements in make–up and prosthetics, the resulting Ceatures have the potential to Scar customers’ Psyches for Life. Especially the young, innocent customers!!!

As I researched this story, I must admit that even just viewing the images of the Creatures many of the famous amusement parks are showcasing unnerved me…

And the current season of television programs isn’t far behind. Shows like “the exorcist,” “lucifer,” “the walking dead,” and “american horror story,” introduce and glamorize themes and images that can only be described as demonic, even satanic. They are incredibly Disturbing and Dangerous, both Psychologically and Spiritually!!!

I believe people are so Hungry for something to Fill the Spiritual Void in their Lives, they’re willing to turn to satan and the blatantly evil. And, of course, satan is more than delighted to Flood that Void. He can NEVER fill it, though, ONLY ~GOD~ can do that…

But the thing about satan is that he is Never satisfied. He always wants MORE…!!!

Right now, these are fictionalized and manufactured depictions of Gore and Pain and Death and Decay, but satan Won’t Quit Until he Has The Real Thing…!!!

We can see in our own society that the Bloodlust now filling our entertainment venues keeps getting WORSE!!!

How long can this go on???

How long before the Desensitized and Insatiable MOB Demands The Real Thing???

Real—BLOOD, Real—TORTURE, Real—KILLINGS, Live And In Color!!!

We see the Progression of this in the many fight club matches and shows. Every year they Grow more Brutal and Dangerous. And every year the live crowds and TV ratings increase…

In His Great Discourse on The Second Coming, ~JESUS~ said:

“But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be!!!”

‭‭{Matthew‬ ‭24:37‬ ‭KJV‬‬}

What was it like in those days???

“And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually…”

‭‭{Genesis‬ ‭6:5‬ ‭KJV‬‬}

One of the main ways that evil thought expresses itself is through violence…

“The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence…”

‭‭{Genesis‬ ‭6:11‬ ‭KJV‬‬}

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it???

The National Retail Foundation says that this year Americans will spend $8.4 billion on halloween. Much of it in celebration of violence, evil, and the demonic…

The devils—day—halloween, which, by the way, comes to us through the Perversion of certain Christian Traditions, is October–31. That day is also the anniversary of the day Martin Luther mailed his 95 Theses to the Archbishop of Mainz. A few days later, he famously nailed them to the door of the All Saints’ Church in Wittenberg, Germany…

That event sparked The Protestant Reformation. Once more, The Word would be spread far and wide about The TRUE nature of Salvation, that,

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God…”

‭‭{Ephesians‬ ‭2:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬}

Next year will be the 500th anniversary of that event. So, my suggestion is that we turn this halloween into something Positive. Let’s begin a year to contemplate Martin Luther’s Courage and The Reformation, and Thank ~GOD~ for that Glorious Return to The TRUE Gospel…

Did you know that World War One was primarily fought by nine nations, and it was called a World War???

That’s about how many nations are presently involved in war in the Middle East!!!

And that doesn’t include terror groups like isis, al–qaeda, hezbollah, and hamas…

The Entire Region is BURNING with Conflict!!!

And NO One is OFF Limits!!!

Recently, the houthis, the shiite muslim tribal group—funded and controlled by iran—that has thrown yemen into a Bloody Civil War, Attacked the USS Mason. The American destroyer was in international waters at the southern end of the Red Sea!!!

They fired three missiles at the American ship. The Mason was able to avoid being hit, then Retaliated by Destroying three of the houthis’ radar stations…

Caroline Glick of The Jerusalem Post noted that there was No Way the houthis would dare “Expose themselves to U.S. military Retaliation if they hadn’t been ordered to do so by their iranian overlords. The question is, why has iran chosen to open up an Assault on the U.S.???”

Then Ms. Glick answered her own question: “iran… wishes to replace the U.S. as the regional hegemon, at the U.S.’s expense…”

The last eight years of the United States’ declining influence in the Middle East has left a Leadership Void that is being Quickly and Dramatically Filled by iran and russia. Just as The BIBLE Predicted For These Final Days!!!

Through the years, I’ve heard many objections to the Study of BIBLE Prophecy and The End Times. I think that is Sad, because this is a Special Generation. We are Actually Living Out The Biblical Scenario of The Last Days…

For thousands of years, men and women of ~GOD~ have looked forward with GREAT Anticipation to the time in which we are Privileged to Live. We Get to See and Experience what they could Only Imagine!!!

But TOO many choose to Hide their heads in the sands of Ignorance. They say they want to present a positive message and that BIBLE Prophecy is just about Doom and Gloom…

But, Folks, That’s Just NOT True!!!

Since Adam and Eve, humans have been Fighting and Hurting one another in every imaginable way. All the days before Christ’s Return, NOT just these immediate days leading up to it have been FULL of Violence and Death…

It is The Return of ~JESUS~ Christ of Nazareth that will bring an END to the Misery that has Engulfed humanity these thousands of years…

That’s NOT Doom and Gloom!!!

That’s Hope!!!

That’s Our BLESSED HOPE…!!!

Maranatha!!!

*Christian Persecution By isis On The Rise*

2 Peter‬: 2
“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet. These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire…”

John‬: 6
“After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone; (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:) When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve…”

John‬: ‭3
“There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 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. 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? 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. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 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. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. For John was not yet cast into prison. Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying. And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him. John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease. He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him…”

*From The Heart*

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness…”

‭‭{Genesis‬ ‭1:1-4‬ ‭KJV‬‬}

The book of Genesis deals with the Creation of the World as we know it and the Creation of Life. There is an interesting parallel between the world and ~GOD’s~ Creation and the Life of a Non—Believer. Verse-2 records that the earth was formless and void. Darkness was over the surface, then an interesting thing happened—The Holy Spirit of ~GOD~ hovered over the waters and ~GOD~ said, “Let—There—Be—Light,” and there was light. The earth was void and without form and without direction, yet when ~GOD~ spoke, He Created Something Out Of Nothing!!!

Without Christ in our Lives, there is an Emptiness, a Void, and a Lack of Form. In essence, our Lives Do Not have Proper Meaning and we live in Darkness. The True Meaning of Life can ONLY come through ~JESUS~ Christ and it is Only when we are Willing to Allow Him to be The Lord of our Life that He can do His Perfect Will in our Lives. The Price has been PAID and The Holy Spirit of The Lord is there, and Requires us to Invite The Person of ~JESUS~ Christ into our Heart to Cleanse us of our Unrighteousness…

It takes a Conscious effort and a Heart of Repentance to Allow ~GOD~ to take the Emptiness and Create Meaning and Direction. I invite you quietly where you are to ask ~JESUS~ to come and pick up the pieces and Create Meaning and Direction in Your Life…
