The season has begun to change, as witnessed by the leaves and the crispness of the air. There is that feeling of time slipping by for just a short while before summer arrived, but now, it is passing into the fall. And so is this life that we cling to, wishing for better times to remain indefinitely, although sometimes, it may remain a while longer; But, alas, we, as mere mortals, are cursed with a very brief time to experience the fullness of life, which can be given and taken within a few short years between birth and death. And within those very short time spans that we call life, we try to make every day count for something to justify our reason for being.
We become educated, trained in our jobs, choose our wives or husbands, and generally act as society expects us to, with the exception of the criminal elements. And so we remain throughout our years as our children leave to begin their lives and the cycle continues as we watch them grow and ourselves age until that cycle closes and the light in our eyes fades as the heart finally rests from its labors. And life ends as death begins.
So, the question has always been the same, but the answers are as varied as the stars brightness in the heavens above. Philosophers, sages, shamans, astrologers, scientists, clergy, religionists, evolutionists, politicians, soldiers, educaters, and every man and woman alive has endeavored at one time or another to fathom the purpose of their existence or why life at all when death is the end. Life is seemingly meaningless when seen in the subjective light of philosophical musings or when no hope is attainable. Science fiction purports to offer a reasonable answer to the future of mankind whether a utopian paradise or a dystopiannical tyranny. Technocrats propose a blend of technology and biology, a quasi race of genetically modified cyborgs enhanced with technical innovations being the next step in the evolving evolution of humanity. Still others see a body of world delegates under the auspices of a ruling elite dictating to the global world life as they see fit to define it under the motto, you will own nothing and be happy. Their intentions, however are to own everything, including your life.
The future is uncertain, and life has no expectancy for even before birth humans are the only species on this planet that will kill their children without a second thought. Mankind is in the truest sense of the word, suicidal and fixed on the genocide of his own kind. Think about violence and what that word implies. It can’t be solely defined by a physical act, but also as a word sharper than any razor blade ever made, and everyone knows instinctively how to use it. And today artificial intelligence is being weaponized against humanity by its creator, humans. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? In the same sense, who will be left standing, the man or the machine in the future being planned?
We look to our elected leaders and then ask why are they doing stupid things. but I ask you this, who voted those stupid people into office in the first place? Stop looking around when the answers are to be found within the heart, yours and mine. We know what we are doing, but the question is, why have we chosen to pursue our chosen actions? What rational answer can we give to the 0ne looking for the answers that seem to evade his or her thoughts? Why are we a genocidal race intent on our self-annihilation even as we plan on building families? Why plan for a future when we are determined to erase it with all weapons at our disposal? A simple example; has anyone ever taken thought to radiation fallout from a nuclear bomb? It does not recognize political borders and rides the wings of the winds, poisoning everything it touches without the slightest regard for those suffering under its debilitating effects. Or the massive destruction and high death count such a weapon would bring to so many people?
And when the victors receive their pay, on what shall they spend it when all economies lay in ruins, and national infrastructures are hopelessly crippled beyond repair? Warlords and chaos comes to mind as many would strive to carve out of the ruins new enclaves of desperados and tyrants seeking to establish personal kingdoms such as in the days of old. Think about India, Babylon and Sumeria.
This is the reality of man’s future, bleak and dismal if humanity continues on this trajectory of inflammatory speeches and military conflicts combined with mass genocide of self, the destruction of nature, and the animals who call this planet home. There is no help coming from the stars for if an alien race should appear, then they would be very wise to disappear just as fast. Mankind is a violent race, the worst on the planet because despite the beauty of life, he prefers the darkness of death. One has only to watch and listen to world leaders as they talk of peace while promoting violence. Not one of them has any common sense, not a lick of rational intelligence, nor does any of them speak righteous words that could give the world a secure tomorrow. They all speak with forked tongues and hold a fisherman’s blade hidden behind the back and outstretched hand. The United Nations is a parody of justice, a pretentious body calling for peace and unification, though in reality it is a body of the most insidious kind of evil doers intent on forcing the world to serve under the global boots of tryanny in the making.
And this is the sad state of man, a malady of madness and ongoing corruption coupled with violence and intent on the subjection and eventual annihilation of all life in this world because of a wicked and deceitful heart that no one can know or understand, a heart ruled by sin. A heart not willing to be subject to the law of a most holy and righteous Creator, but more than willing to serve those who brought evil into existence, who taught mankind rebellion and who are intent on eradicating man in their diabolical hatred for God and his creation. And it was for this that the Son of Man, the Son of God came into this world to save mankind from the sins that kept them in fear of death, from him whose most powerful weapon is death, Satan. He is also known as the devil, the dragon, the serpent, and in his beginning he was called Lucifer, the light bearer,and today he is known as the dragon. And because of the evilness of the dragon and man’s wicked ways, Jesus said that if he was not to return then there would be nothing left to return to.
So, do not believe in the lies that are told, the films which are produced, the stories which are written, the speeches which are made, the guns that are fired, the mesmerizing feats of technology, the advances in medicine, the starships that will draw humankind to distant planets and stars, for the time needed is not there anymore than the false belief that the heart can save itself from the sins which hold it firmly captive. The hour is upon mankind to face the harsh reality of his evil and wicked ways because God has set a time and that time is upon us today.
We need to turn away from ourselves and look upon the cross where the Son of God allowed himself to be crucified for the sins of the entire world. Someone had to pay the price for breaking the law of a holy and just God, a sacrifice so complete and pure without the slightest stain of sin, and no man who has ever been born is able to accomplish that. But Jesus, the Christ of God, the Messiah could be that perfect sacrifice because in him was no sin, no spirit of rebellion, and he was in perfect harmony with the will of his father in heaven, so much in fact that the evil one was not able to persuade him and neither any temptation offered was able to seduce his heart to rebel against his father.
Sin means breaking the law, and it is that law which upholds all things seen and unseen. All that we see in the heavens was created by what we cannot see or understand. They came into being because God created them all in a brief moment of time out of nothing. It cannot be said of us for we are masters of destruction, not creators of life. A child in the womb of its mother is life being formed until the cruel hand of man strips that innocent life and sells the tiny parts for profit and cruel experiments. This is the nature and heart of man whose life is subjected to the sins which dominate, which permeate every fiber of his mind and body and fills the heart with never-ending rebellion. This is sin at work and this work Jesus came to destroy.
Yes, Jesus came into this world a little over two-thousand years ago, and yes, he will return to establish his full and complete authority over all the earth. He will rule over all the earth, over every nation, city, town and home. He will cause mankind to keep the law of God and will destroy all those who attempt to rebel against his authority. Also God has also made it clear that he will destroy those who destroy the earth such as those who rape and destroy nature and the natural life. Jesus authority will be complete and sin will not be practiced under his rule. There will be no political parties, no militaries, no perversions of justice, no lawlessness, and in every city and town will be his priests teaching the people the law of his father, and he will set up kings over the nations who will rule with righteousness under his authority. His seat of government will be in Jerusalem as he will rule over the entire earth. There will be no murders, no violence, no sexual decadence, no wars, no pollution, and he will cause all weapons of war to be melted down into plowshares so that every man will have a parcel of land to plant and grow and to raise his family.
So, who is this Jesus? Is he an alien from a distant galaxy? No. He is the Son of the Living God who has created all things to include you and I, and he has been given all authority in heaven and on earth to do the will of his Father. The will of the Father is this, that all men should repent of their sins and believe in his only begotten Son whom he sent into this world to save this world from their sins, death and the fiery judgment that is to come. This is not science-fiction nor is it a religious fairy tale, but it is truth regardless of what one may choose to believe.
When Jesus took upon himself the sins of the entire world, he was partaking of death for every man and woman. We owe to him our lives, our very existence, because without his sacrifice on the cross, we would not stand a ghost of a chance on the Day of Judgment. We would be faced with our sinful lives and and would have to suffer the fiery consequences of living lawless lives, and the Lake of Fire would be our final destination. This lake of fire was originally prepared for the devil and his fallen angels, but will now include those whose incorrigible hearts have been given over to wickedness and all manner of evil works and unbelief.
The hearts of billions are hardened against the creator because of the deceitfulness of sin, it’s rousing pleasures, it’s seductive ways, it’s callous treatment of life, the selfishness, the pride of life and everything else that exalts itself against a holy God. Millions of those calling themselves believers or better known today as Christians have become as unfaithful spouses to the one who has called them to his Son because they have taken up the mantle of disbelief by casting his law behind their backs and perverted the righteous ways of the Lord through the false teachings brought into the flocks. And despite the written word clearly condemning such practices, those foolish believers continue to live in ignorance and do as they are being taught by the unfaithful shepherds even as the wrath of God is about to be poured out upon this perverted generation.
But to those who fear God and desire to walk in the truth, they will not be dissuaded neither led astray, but will wholly commit themselves to the cause of the Lord Jesus and keep His commandments. Thereby you shall know them as the Lord’s because they keep His word. And those who do not keep His word are liars and the truth is not in them. We have the Bible and most of us can read it, if we choose to. And we have a choice to either believe what we read or to deny those words. But sadly, many have chosen to compromise the words of the Lord through personal interpretations and opinions by “cherry-picking” the scriptures. By so doing, they have made themselves judges of the Word, hearers of the Word, and not doers, and by such things have made the word of no effect and have invalidated the cross of Christ, and therefore weakened the very substance which could have given them life eternal if they had only believed. And this unbelief is bringing many to fall away from the true faith as they pursue the vain imaginings their personal views have induced them to follow.
It would do us well to consider our ways, whether we have perverted the word through our interpretations by taken up the cloak of false teachings or have we held fast to the truth as revealed within the pages of the Scriptures. For there are many false teachers within the body sowing tares among the wheat and the deceptions has caused many to fall away into errors and falsehoods, believing that they are serving the Lord Jesus, but in truth have strayed off the path of life to follow another gospel, one which was not taught by the apostles nor their disciples, but rather through the servants of sin and the wicked one.
The hour has come for you to choose whom you will follow, Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God or your personal idol and the false teachings taught by the false teachers. Sin is destructive and will kill you without fail. Death has no mercy, and the devil is the father of lies, and he hates humanity with a diabolical hatred that we cannot fathom. He portrays himself as an angel of light which has led many into doom as they enter his tunnel of light claiming to see wonderous things, that is until that light goes out suddenly and darkness encompasses the soul. Make no mistake, sin is deceptive and very powerful and without the power of Jesus Christ, you will be held captive until it slays you.
This world has plunged into the cauldron of madness in these final days, and the devil or dragon is furious beyond measure for he knows that his days are numbered. Therefore, the deceptions are increasing exponentially, wars, diseases, famines, paranormal activity, signs in the skies, demon worship, fornications, and the like of which we have been warned to pay attention and take heed, and not to become fearful or timid. But we are to remain steadfast in these final days in the truth, to keep his commandments, to walk in love, and to abstain from all acts of wickedness and to put aside all errors and false teachings. To put on the cloak of humility and to serve each other in love and to remain faithful to Him who has called us into fellowship with His Son.
If we we do these things and if we remain faithful unto the end then we shall inherit the crown of life. But if our soul draws back then He He has no pleasure in them that take their hand from the plow to look back. We need to pay great attention to what we have been told and to study the scriptures, to watch and pray, to test the spirits whether they are from God or man. But know this, he who loves God will keep the commandments, and he who does not keep the commandments and teaches others the same is a thief and a liar and the truth is not in them. Believe what the Word says and follow the Great Shepherd of your souls, and by so doing, you will preserve life and receive the eternal crown of life set aside for those who love God and His Holy Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
I remain a brother to the faithful in Christ Jesus.
