The book of Revelation?

A mirror to the soul re-exploitation!

Replacement theology has lead many believers to discount the teaching of the book of Revelation as having no practical application in our modern world, but sometimes it is referred too in relation to End time events and the return of our Lord Jesus?

Otherwise the key elements of the salvation of Israel and the underlying secret slavery in society is avoided, it is a mirror of guilt in relation to service, servitude and cheap workers for clothing, medical care and a under payed work force and former imperial slavery and the lack of compensations to the survivors?

God is the only one who really knows our hearts, we may be serving Him in good faith, while hiding the secrets of prostitution, dishonesty, tax evasion and corruption, secret societies and much more!

John 9:41, Titus 3:3, Hebrews 4:13-14, 2 Peter 2:19, Revelation 7:1-8, 18:13.

Hearing and Doing!

Righteousness and Justification?

For hundreds of years the Jews were caught in a legalistic trap and they have maintained that now for the last two thousand years, since they are blinded by God so that the Gentiles might come into faith.

We who are saved under grace must be aware of legalism creeping into our walk with Jesus, but I think this verse, gives to us the answer and if we do, what we hear from the word of God we are doing well.

Discipline in the Christian life/walk is invaluable, but let us keep the application of doing right in relation to the commandments?

Exodus 20:1-17, Romans 2:13, Galatians 2:16-17.

Ascension and Return!

The way of the World?

Our societies are moving into unnatural areas of science that will allow two men to have a baby, as is reported from Japan and so we already have three way surrogate parenting which proves the human mind continues to seek out these things!

Man wants to reach the stars with a load of one hundred people at one time, Musk has failed for now but he will get there will lesser, but still enough to build on Mars and go other places?

N-Korea is making threats, the Ukraine situation could boil over along with Israel moving and taking the Temple Mount, aggravating Islam and the beginning of more than one third world war, since we humans are fickle minded?

All of this points us to the days of Noah, eating, drinking and not caring about God, in fact they were and are today side lining Him again to please themselves and so when the Lord appears it will be a dreadful time for them, but for us we will be taken up in the skies to meet Him.

With Easter past the work must continue to preach the Gospel message and teach believers our needs met and conduct kept, to see souls won and to show love to the unloved, the oppressed, the hurting as Jesus has done for us so we must do to others?

Matthew 24:38-39, Luke 17:27-30, 1 Peter 3:20-22,.

Nations Shaken!

We must never think that God will excuse Sin?

As believers we are being saved into the age of Grace and it would seem to many people it is easy to believe that God can be undermined about the sins of deviance and same sex sins, without Him pouring out His wrath?

Our world and societies are in a mess, when feelings have replace truth and reality and many people old and young are being fooled by the roaming’s of Satan to delude us from the truth as he did eve in the garden!

Turkiye and Syria have this month seen horrendous destruction from at least four major earthquakes on a NE-SW fault line that runs for hundreds of miles and the death toll could rise to one hundred thousand?

We are small to the plight of nature and so everything is small in the universe, in the created order to God, yet the Bible tells us the conditions of God coming close to His creation and we need to step back and take a check on ourselves to meet more of His criteria?

Hebrew 12:25-29, Exodus 19:18, Haggai 2:6-8, 20-22.

EVIL! One.

The World/Kosmon.

We have all as believers come out of the world, its ways, selfishness, achievement, lies, filth, sexual pleasures, theft, financial gain, and walking over others?

For some who claim a faith in God, some of the above mentioned is fine for them, then the problem is that they have either turned back or that they are not fully saved, or worst still religious imposters?

Evil is the basis of sin, but we know that some people are more evil than others and other deliberately provoke God in their sin! Intimidation, bullying, dishonest gain, tax dodging to sexual sins of lesbianism and homosexuality, while even wearing the cloth and claiming the love of God?

But God sees through our motives and it is only He who knows everything, wither He acts now of tomorrow or never until the day of Judgement that ball is in his court alone!

Genesis 6:5, 13:13, 38:7, Deuteronomy 31:18, Job 1:1, Psalm 14:4, 34:16, 55:15, Matthew 5:11, 24:12, Mark 7:21, Luke 6:9, John 3:20, Acts 8;22-23, Galatians 5:21, Colossians 3:5.

‘Which Bible!

Translation is the Best or is Right?

Many of us who preach will use a modern version to get what we want to say out in modern language of today to people who do not have any understanding of anything to do with God? But when it comes to our own study we seek the basis of the King James version to get refences to Strong’s lexicon or something similar!

But a knowledge of the ability to read the Hebrew and Greek does not always make it as easy as many lay people think and this has been an ongoing problem for the last two thousand years? Since the Greek raises more options in the choice of words that can be used and many people do not fully understand this getting hot under the collar in relation to the KJV being so called adulterated when it is not!

What is more important is the application of the message that is being taught, preached or shared, by others or in our own reading and understanding of it for daily living?

Proverbs 3:2, Matthew 4:23, Mark 9:31, John 8:51, 1 Corinthians 11:23, 2 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 6:1-2, 2 John 1:9, Revelation 3:8.

LOVE!

A controversial Subject in the modern Ekklesia?

We only have to turn on the radio or the Tv and we are met with love songs and programs aimed at the subject, perhaps songs are the most created side in relation to love? But the love of the world is more about a sexual encounter, rather than that of romance and marriage and the creation of family!

Today many Christians have accepted the doctrine of love to cover sin of a sexual deviant nature in relation to biblical teaching, but this also is leading many people away from the truth’s in relation to Hell and the crimson worm/maggots that never die eating our flesh?

Many leaders and Evangelists will have to answer before God in telling lies and falseness, perhaps to cover their own sin in that God loves us and we are saved and can live the way we want to but that is not the the truth?

Matthew 5:44, 10:37, 22:37, Luke 6:32, 10;12, Isaiah 66:24, 1 Peter 4:8, 1 John 4:10, 21, 2 John 1:16, Revelation 3:19, 22:15.

Living in dire Times?

Our rights and our Ignorance!

Wherever we live in this world taking some simple advice in relation to this medical situation and Pandemic would be wise?

But we humans at the best of times live in rebellion to God and many believers too have the arrogant attitude that they can deal with things on their own, even when the best advice is given to us!

This situation that we are in is not going away as some unwise leaders believe, this is because of going on as we are will only spread the virus and eventually with its mutations children will start dying since so far it has not discriminated who it kills?

Believers need to remain focused in doing what is right and obeying the leadership of wise medical staff in relation to social distancing and wearing face coverings, other wise many more people will die in the second and third waves of this COVID-19 pandemic!

Geneses 41:33, Job 11:6, Psalm 51:6, Isaiah 47:10, Luke 7:35, Ephesians 2:2-3, Philippians 2:2-3, James 3:14, 2 Peter 3:15.

Eros verses Agape Love!

Saint Valentines?

Friendship and charity now have very little to with either the Ekklesia and certainly not Kosmov, that does not mean than some still try to do what is right and to care since many do?

The battle of loves today seem more clear cut than they ever have been in that of sexual love and the pleasures of the flesh seem to dominate over that of Jesus amongst believers and selfishness is ruling the nest!

But we can change things by preaching and sharing the truth with a mixed up society that allows all sins to be permissible and refuses the truth? It is hard work, but the salvation of souls at the end of the day will make well worth our while!

Agape is more than St. Valentines slush, but they were of a kind and loving heart in serving in their day, hopefully as we are today our selves as believers?

Deuteronomy 10:18, Ruth 4:15, Psalm 11:5, 37:28, Ecclesiastes 5:10, Song of Solomon 3:1, Luke 7:47, Ephesians 5:28, 1 John 4:7, Revelation 22:15.

The book of Revelation! One.

Why no longer Popular?

Over the last forty years it seems that the book of Revelation is not as popular as it was say in the 1950’s?

One reason may be that it is difficult to understand or it is not relevant to the problems in the modern age?

The other reason is perhaps it warns those of us who claim a faith in God, but live in rebellious sin? Revelation does tell us the fate of liars, those doing dishonest gain and living in effeminate lifestyles!

1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Ephesians 5:3-6, Revelation 9:20-21, 21:8, 27, 22:14-15.
