Stay Strong with Jesus!

Dear Loyal Followers, I am truly sorry for not adding more posts since my last one, but I have been in and out of hospitals, battling not feeling well, having family issues and, last but not least, I discovered a big hard Knot at the back of my neck about a month ago since I have my cervical vertebrae fusions. This knot is right in the middle of the incision; something tells me this is not good.However, my heart has to be ready to accept whatever the doctor is going to tell me. Jesus has told me that I have a lot more suffering to endure before I can claim my Heavenly reward. Even though Jesus, Himself, does not know the day or the hour that will herald the end of the world, yet He cautions us to always be aware of the signs of the times. All that we have to do is open our eyes to what is happening not only here in the United States but to European and Middle Eastern countries. Here we may be plunged into another recession that was worse than the last. We must resolve in our hearts that no matter what happens, we will NEVER succumb to accepting the mark of the beast or 666 which is the sign that you have become a follower of Satan. My friend, do not be duped this way. Yes, it has been said that the only way you will be able to buy or sell is to have some kind of computer chip placed within your body which has the numbering 666 on it....

Will There Really be a Rapture?

Some of this blog may be repetitious, but I will tell you why. I was looking on different sites on the Internet to see where I could make money writing articles. I came across one site that mentioned that it was possible to make up to $750 a week. That sounded really good to me so I decided to write an essay about the Rapture. However, my son told me that the site I was looking at was in the business of writing essays for students. All the student has to do is pay for the essay and turn it in to the professor. That is CHEATING no matter how you slice the pie! I want NO part of it so I just kissed my money goodbye and praised the Lord for letting my son open my eyes. Below is the essay I wrote: Will There Really be a Rapture? The Book of Revelation is considered to be a story of each Christian who follows Jesus along the way of the cross even if it is necessary to give your life for the Lord. You cannot do this alone! You must ask Jesus EVERY day to give you the grace to accept what the future holds even if it means giving your life for the Master. This is the popular opinion of what the meaning of Rapture is for many people. Rapture means “to raise up.” Many Protestant in the United States have the belief that God will Rapture, or take up into Heaven, the Christians who have been faithful to Him and remove them from the last tribulation...

The Rapture

The Book of Revelation is considered to be a story of each Christian who follows Jesus along the way of the cross even if it is necessary to give your life for the Lord. You cannot do this alone! You must ask Jesus EVERY day to give you the grace to accept what the future holds even if it means giving your life for the Master. This is the popular opinion of what the meaning of Rapture is for many people. Rapture means “to raise up.” Many Protestant in the United States have the belief that God will Rapture, or take up into Heaven, the Christians who have been faithful to Him and remove them from the last tribulation that you hear described in the Book of Revelation. There are some people who also teach that the Rapture is a time that will give people a second chance for their repentance of sins before Jesus until He returns for a second time. Here is the true teaching concerning the Rapture. The Book of Revelation does not really teach that there will be a Rapture of Christians. God is not going to remove Christians from this earth just so they may avoid the suffering that is to come. Rather, the Book of Revelation teaches that God is going to preserve His faithful people no matter if they meet with persecution and suffering. You can find this in the Book of Revelation 3:10; 14:12. Since Jesus will return to earth to resurrect all believers as well as unbelievers on Judgment Day, there will not be a second chance for people to...

Back to: “The End Times”

Back to: “The End Times” I know that many of you read the Bible often, yet when it comes to the Book of Revelation” it may seem like the going is slow and may be misinterpreted due to so much “unfamiliar and extravagant symbolism” that the average reader cannot make sense out of. What exactly does this book, shrouded in mystery, say about the End Times that are to come upon us? Let’s take a look. I have taken the liberty to see what “Issues, Etc” had to say about the ensuing End Times: To the early Christians, Revelation provided a very simplistic description of the times that seem to be quickly approaching. The early Christians had this to say about the End Times: “[Jesus now] sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead…We believe in the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.” This was taken directly from the Apostles Creed. For centuries, the early Christians followed this belief. In these modern times, however, many false teachers have made up many complex and confusing interpretations of the Book of Revelation. False doctrines have been added such as the Rapture as well as the Millennium to the last book of the Bible’s summary of the End Times. As a result of this false doctrine, there are many Christians who are confused about the future happenings. Here is a summary of the false opinions of what the future holds: Christ’s visible earthly life, the age of the Church, Jesus returns for the Rapture, the seven...

Our Own Personal Armageddon

Dear Faithful Followers and all Who Read my Blog, I am truly sorry for my long absence in writing entries to my Armageddon Blog, but I have been going through my own “personal” Armageddon for quite a while now. As the saying goes, you cannot experience the beauties of the mountaintop until you have hit rock bottom. That has been happening to me for quite a while now, but each time the Lord would rescue me, and I know it has been through the many prayers being sent up by my loyal prayer warriors. Since April of this year, 2011, I have had three cervical neck surgeries and one rotator cuff surgery. I also have to admit that I have been taking prescription pain medication that has been making me very confused and unsteady. I had been told by one pain doctor that I was one in 5 percent of the population who is not able to take any pain medication. I guess I did not want to believe this or heed my Master’s warning signs that He was sending me, that is, until August 26th. I was on my way to the bathroom (I have to use a walker now – am I telling my age?) and when I got in there I fell. Although I had Life Alert, I did not use it because I knew my Comfort Keeper would be there shortly. I had already reached down to see if I was hurt and just got some clear liquid on my fingers. Since I have lymphedema,I did not think anything of it. However, the Holy Spirit...

Time is Running Short!

Yesterday I had an appointment with the dentist. The receptionist said that I did not have an appointment because the records indicated that I was deceased. I told the hygienist I certainly wouldn’t mind being in Heaven right now. She said I could not go yet because I have not filled God’s purpose yet. Was she speaking prophetically? As I have said before, we have to spend every day s if it were our last one. I believe it was St. Therese, the Little Flower, who said she would not do anything differently. We should follow her as our role model; we should perform our regular duties but always turn our hearts toward...

Is the Time Near?

Many people feel that definitely Armageddon will come in the year 2012. We do not know when the final day will really come. No one knows, not even the Son, but the Father alone. The best advice this author can give is that you live every day as if it was your last. Offer up each day for Jesus. Sometimes the Lord will put on your heart who to offer your sufferings or your day for. As far as Armageddon goes, this author feels that this economy will tank and then people will begin looting and fighting for food. The best thing to do is to form small groups to fight off those who are trying to take your food. This writer feels sure that many of you know about the devil’s 666 mark. Only these people who carry this mark on their bodies will also be able to buy and sell their goods. Please, do not cave in to this pressure. Your love for Jesus Christ should keep you going. It would be better to die for the Lord than to spend an eternity in hell! Therefore, to summarize, keep close to our Lord Jesus Christ and do not worry about what is to come. It will profit you nothing except to make you upset and medically and physically sick. Ask Jesus to always be loyal to Him. He will never fail...

Keep your Eyes Fixed on the Prize

Thanks to all who have been following this blog and all of those who are about to come. Let me make it clear that no one knows when the final days will be, not even the Son, but only the Father. All we have to do is to “Keep our Eyes Fixed on the Prize” who is none other than Jesus. There is no amount of money, possessions, power or prestige that we will be taking with us when we die. So why are we running around like hamsters in squirrel cages to gain these things which will all be rubbish in the end? It will profit us nothing! That is why we should spend daily prayer time with our Master. If we cannot do that, then we must try to think of Him as we go about our daily...

A Sharp Two-Edged Sword

At times the Lord puts it in my heart to write about different subjects. Would anyone know what the title refers to? Yes, the tongue is referred to by Jesus as a two edged sword. Just think about it. Just one hurtful word can help destroy a person’s self-worth while just one kind word or even a smile can make a person’s day. Think of this. When a word leaves your mouth, it can never be recalled. Therefore, we should always pray that the Holy Spirit gives us the right words to speak. I would suggest that if you have a Bible that you would begin reading the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. This is where you will learn to develop a close relationship with the Lord. God bless you all for all of the kind words you have written to me. Sincerely in Christ,...

Will you Follow the Light or Darkness?

It says in Scripture, and I paraphrase, all who follow the Light will have the Light of Life, that is, Eternal Glory. We will survive what is to come. Now that can be in a few ways. It can be that we will be taken up with Jesus before the real Armageddon begins so that we may be spared all of the destruction and bloodshed, we may stay down on Earth to fight for the Lord and give our lives in holy martyrdom and receive our reward right away or we may stay until the Second Coming of the Lord when all shall arise from their graves and be separated into two sections, the sheep and the goats. The sheep will follow their Shepherd into Everlasting Glory and the goats will be cast into the Everlasting furnace of hell. Time grows short. There is still time to confess that you know, love, and serve Jesus Christ. Will you follow the Light or the Darkness? The decision is...
