BLOW THE TRUMPET IN ZION, AND SOUND AN ALARM IN MY HOLY MOUNTAIN: LET ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE LAND TREMBLE: FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD IS COMING, FOR IT IS AT HAND! Joel 2:1
THE PROPHETIC (BIBLICAL) SIGNS ALL POINT TO THE IMMINENT RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST FOR HIS PURE, 'WATCHING AND WAITING' (Luke 12:36,37) BRIDE (THE RAPTURE OF HIS TRUE DISCIPLES, WHO ARE FILLED WITH HIS SPIRIT, Matt. 25).
THE TIME IS VERY LATE! MOST CHURCHES ARE SPIRITUALLY CLUELESS CONCERNING THE LATENESS OF THE PROPHETIC HOUR AND HAVE FALLEN SO FAR AWAY FROM JESUS AND HIS TRUTH THAT VERY FEW MINISTRIES PRIMARILY PREACH BIBLICAL TRUTH NOR CAN MOST OF THEM HELP ANYONE SPIRITUALLY. “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron…”
(1 Timothy 4:1-2)
I boldly proclaim the truth, that being saved and IN relationsip with Jesus, gives His true disciples the greatest love, hope, deliverance, salvation and Home, that anyone could ever have. However, I also expose some of the most extreme evil now taking over our country, the world and much of the church, which has lost most of it's salt, light, love for Jesus and for others and it its out of love that as a watchman I proclaim His coming and warn anyone who will read this, to get prepared spiritually and there is only One Way to be prepared and that is through abiding IN Jesus!

TO NON BELIEVERS: JESUS AND HIS TRUE DISCIPLES LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY! JESUS IS REACHING OUT TO YOU TO RECEIVE HIM! SAY YES TO JESUS TODAY!
The meaning of the name of my site:
Abba = our loving, Heavenly Father meaning: 'Daddy' or 'Papa'
For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a Spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!"
Romans 8:15
And because you are sons, (and daughters!) God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Galatians 4:6
Ark = Holy, Biblical rescue Vessel of salvation, through which (or through WHOM) God reveals His intents, purposes, plans & Presence to mankind (as in the Ark of the Covenant, Noah's Ark and yes... Jesus the ultimate Ark)
JESUS IS ABBA'S ARK! JESUS IS OUR PERSONAL SPIRITUAL ARK (Holy Rescue Vessel) OF SALVATION (restoration with God, spiritual inner regeneration, having the Presence of God IN you and eternity with Him!) - OUR PERFECT, ETERNAL DWELLING PLACE- our Shelter, OUR HOME! NOW AND FOREVERMORE!
Noah's Ark, was part of a long Biblical pattern, a type and a foreshadowing of our ultimate vessel of salvation, Jesus Christ. Just as it became clear to Noah that it was time to enter into the ark in order to save his family and preserve the righteous remnant of humanity, Jesus wants us to enter (spiritually) into and abide IN HIM! Jesus is our Heavenly Father's ultimate Vessel of Salvation, for ALL who would receive Him and enter into Him! The 'rain' has already begun to fall people... Jesus our Ark is coming extremely soon and soon the door will close and only the faithful will be inside (IN CHRIST)! Jesus is inviting you to enter into intimate spiritual fellowship with Him by confessing and repenting of your sins and putting your FAITH IN HIM for salvation and for knowing and abiding IN JESUS NOW. PURSUE JESUS NOW BEFORE HE RAPTURES HIS CHURCH AND YOU WILL NOT SUFFER THE COMING HELL ON EARTH KNOWN AS THE TRIBULATION! Only those who have been born-again; know and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, will soon be caught up (Raptured) to be with Jesus.
He who dwells in the Secret Place (JESUS) of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1
(for all who repent of their sins; receive Him as Lord and Savior, obey and follow Him according to the scriptures. No- I'm not talking about making ourselves perfect- Jesus does that FREELY, IF we SEEK HIM AND WANT TO KNOW, WALK, TRUST IN and ABIDE in Him!)
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me. John 15:4 (ABIDE = LIVE IN, DWELL IN, REMAIN IN, REST IN, BE HOUSED IN)
(This site is primarily a call to evangelical Christians to wake up and get spiritually ready for the coming of the Lord but this message is a call and warning to ALL people, as God loves us ALL equally and desires for EVERYONE to be saved and ready for His coming. Biblical teaching has been highly compromised in most evangelical movements and many contemporary Christian "leaders" purposely water down, ignore and deride numerous and important scriptures and especially those that pertain to the 'END OF THE AGE' - which is staring humanity in the face! They also persecute those of us who dare to proclaim the unfettered truth found in the Bible. PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT BIBLICAL TRUTHS THAT PERTAIN TO THE IMMINENT COMING OF THE LORD AND TO THE WELL-BEING OF YOUR ETERNAL SOUL!) This is NOT some fringe, kooky idea invented by a religious fanatic! The scriptures PROVE what I am proclaiming, that Jesus is coming soon:
...I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. John 14:3
Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. 1 John 2-4
Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming...Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect Matt. 24:42,44
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together (RAPTURED) with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
2 Thess. 4:16-18
MOST CHURCHES HAVE BECOME FALLEN, GLORIFIED SOCIAL CLUBS, THAT ONLY GIVE LIP SERVICE TO GOD- WORSE YET, MANY OF THEM WILL ACTUALLY LEAD YOU AWAY FROM THE REAL JESUS AND HIS TRUTH! SOME HAVE BECOME SO SPIRITUALLY DANGEROUS THAT THE BIBLE SAYS TO STAY AWAY FROM THEM: HAVING THE APPEARANCE (FORM) OF GODLINESS, BUT DENYING ITS POWER. AVOID SUCH PEOPLE! (2 Tim. 3:5 ESV) JESUS GAVE US AN EVEN MORE PIERCING JUDGMENT: BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS, WHO COME TO YOU IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING, BUT INWARDLY THEY ARE RAVENOUS WOLVES. (Matt. 7:15)
FOLLOWING THE FAD TO CATER AND INDULGE SEEKERS BY WATERING DOWN THE GOSPEL AND FOCUSING ON 'PERFORMANCE', MANY "EVANGELICAL" CHURCHES NOW PREACH A HIGHLY COMPROMISED, WORLDLY 'SOCIAL GOSPEL,' INSTEAD OF THE ONE AND ONLY GOSPEL THAT SUPERNATURALLY CONVICTS PEOPLE AND CHANGES LIVES.
THOSE WHO ARE READY FOR THE RAPTURE ARE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST AND NOT MERE 'BELIEVERS' [even the demons "believe and tremble" James 2:19]- MANY 'BELIEVE' IN JESUS BUT HAVE NOT PUT THEIR FULL TRUST IN CHRIST FOR SALVATION- SOME PEOPLE KNOW ALL ABOUT JESUS BUT THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW HIM- THEY REFUSE TO FULLY REPENT OF THEIR IDOLS, RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHIES, "FAITH" FORMULAS, DANGEROUS DOCTRINES AND MANY OTHER SINS INCLUDING THE LOVE THIS WORLD AND THEIR SELF-CENTERED, SELF-INDULGENT LIFE-STYLES. (I CALL THEM 'MUPPIES, JESUS CALLED THEM 'HYPOCRITES'). THEY REFUSE TO DIE TO THEMSELVES, SURRENDER THEIR LIVES TO, TRUST IN AND FOLLOW JESUS ALONE [OBEDIENCE]. THE SLICKEST RELIGIOUS DECEPTION OUT THERE RIGHT NOW, REVOLVES AROUND A SELF-CENTERED QUEST TO FIND YOUR "PURPOSE" IN LIFE, WHEN JESUS AND HIS WORD MAKE IT CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT YOU MUST 'DIE' TO YOURSELF DAILY (1 Cor. 15:31) IN ORDER TO BEGIN TO FIND YOUR TRUE "PURPOSE," WHICH IS TO KNOW AND WALK WITH GOD; BUT SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD (secret: JESUS IS THE KINDGOM) AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ALL THESE (OTHER THINGS LIKE YOUR "PURPOSE" IN LIFE) SHALL BE ADDED TO YOU! Matthew 6:33 NKJV IF YOU ARE WALKING WITH GOD, HE WILL REVEAL YOUR SPIRITUAL GIFTING, SERVICE AND CALLING TO YOU (YOUR MAJOR PURPOSE). SIMPLE, CHILD-LIKE FAITH IN GOD WILL LEAD YOU TO YOUR "PURPOSE" IN THIS LIFE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO ON A SPECIAL QUEST TO FIND IT. YOU FIND YOUR PURPOSE WHEN YOU FIND GOD AND PUT YOUR SIMPLE FAITH IN HIM! (I CERTAINLY AM NOT PERFECT- NONE OF US ARE! BUT WE ARE ALL EQUAL AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS AND ALL OF US NEED TO BE BROKEN ABOUT OUR SIN, REPENT OF IT- SURRENDER TO JESUS DAILY AND BE FILLED WITH HIM BECAUSE LIVING THE 'CHRISTIAN LIFE' IS ONLY POSSIBLE WHEN JESUS LIVES IN AND THROUGH US!).
THE PROPHESIED 'FALLING AWAY' OF MANY CHRISTIANS FROM THE TRUTH (2 THESS. 2:3), IS ONE OF THE MAJOR SIGNS OF HIS IMMINENT RETURN FOR THE FAITHFUL! MANY ARE SENSING THAT A MAJOR GLOBAL CATASTROPHE IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. AT THE TIME OF THIS EDIT, (5/8/13) WWIII COULD BREAK OUT IN THE MIDDLE EAST AT ANY SECOND! ALL THE MORE REASON TO BE RIGHT WITH GOD!
IF THAT WORD "REPENT" ABOVE JUST MADE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE, CHANCES ARE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW JESUS AND NEED TO KEEP READING THIS TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO 'GET RIGHT' WITH GOD! IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO REPENT AND FULLY TRUST IN JESUS, TO KNOW HIM PERSONALLY AND BE READY FOR HIS COMING, RATHER THAN SOME DAY HEAR FROM HIM: "DEPART FROM ME FOR I NEVER KNEW YOU!" Matt. 7:23
[Read Matthew 25. Not all who merely 'believe' about Jesus are His true disciples- of the ten 'virgins' awaiting His coming, (A prophetic picture) only five were truly ready, five were pretenders or as famous commentator, Matthew Henry calls them: 'hypocrites'! Millions are being deceived into an 'easy-believism' instead of being discipled into a deep, trusting faith in Jesus Christ- that begins with sincere repentance! Over 50% of "believers" (the same ratio found in Matt 25) don't even believe that Jesus is the only Way, Truth and Life, (John 14:6) as Jesus said of Himself! In other words, many who 'believe' that they are Christians, don't really even 'believe' in, let alone know the real Jesus of the Bible! There is ONLY ONE GOD! There is NOT a universal "god" who goes by many other names outside of the Judeo-Christian scriptures!
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Romans 8:14]

Biblical prophecy concerning the very 'end of the age,' (as Jesus prophesied it) is being fulfilled before our eyes or is about to be fulfilled! Here is just one major set of 'signs' in the heavens (the moon in particular) that have always pertained to God's people. The references to the distress of the nations and the sea roaring (tsunamis), also pertain to our present day:
"And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
Luke 21:25 NKJV
"But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her... For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. ... For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. "And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." Then He spoke to them a parable: "Look at the fig tree, (Israel) and all the trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. Assuredly, I say to you, this (OUR) generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. Luke 21:20-32
For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord (He's coming for His pure, awaiting bride) so comes as a thief in the night. (the Rapture) 1 Thess. 5:2
OUR FATHER'S ARK (JESUS) WILL SOON COME 'LIKE A THIEF' TO RAPTURE HIS BRIDE!
He who dwells in the Secret Place (Jesus) of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1
WHY THE RAPTURE IS IMMINENT
JESUS IS ABBA'S ARK! JESUS IS OUR PERSONAL ARK (Holy Rescue Vessel - Noah's Ark being a type and forshadowing of Jesus Christ) OF SALVATION (restoration with God, spiritual inner regeneration, having the Presence of God IN you and gaining eternity with Him!) - OUR PERFECT, ETERNAL DWELLING PLACE- our Shelter,
OUR HOME! NOW AND FOREVERMORE!
JUST AS GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF, CLOSED THE DOOR OF NOAH'S ARK AS IT BEGAN TO RAIN, GOD IS ABOUT TO CLOSE THE DOOR OF HIS 'ARK' ONCE AGAIN AND TAKE THOSE WHO HAVE REPENTED, RECEIVED JESUS AND WHOSE INNER VESSELS ARE FULL OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT! (THE RAPTURE) AS PROPHESIED BY JESUS IN THE THINLY VEILED PARABLE OF MATTHEW 25.
Jesus and His Apostles and prophets, prophesied what the 'end of the age' or end times would be like, EVEN IN THE CHURCH and many of us have have already been seeing and experiencing exactly what they foretold:
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 2 Timothy 1-5 (Jesus was not just prophesying here about what society would be like but also about what would dominate many Christians and their churches! Major evangelical movements are producing these kinds of "Christians" and the fierceness of some of them who are absorbed in counterfeit Christianity or what I call 'churchianity,' is extremely disturbing to say the least! There are millions of people in these neo-evangelical movements who idolatrously follow their leaders and few (if any) of thier churches are producing biblical disciples of Christ, in Spirit and in Truth. I have been shocked and depressed by my own personal experiences in several modern (supposedly evangelical) "churches." The words 'phoney,' 'hollow,' and 'spiritless,' come to mind. They tend to have extremely controlling and domineering "leaders." Many of them are much more like exclusive and provincial clubs, than righteous, biblical and loving churches. Most of them have lost their first love for Jesus and now bow to worldly image and to "success," which means doing whatever it takes (worldly tactics and philosophies that compromise the Gospel) to acheive "church growth." The two major infectious streams that epitomize this apostasy are Rick Warren's, "Purpose Driven Church" seeker counterfeit and the seemingly unrelated but 'counterfeit on spiritual steroids': the "name-it-and-claim-it," prosperity, 'Word of Faith' counterfeit.) To the extent that they worship "faith" itself, 'signs and wonders' and or teach other apostate mixtures or doctrines, rather than Jesus and His Gospel, is the extent to which they have fallen! Clammoring for manifestations of the supernatural rather than seeking God's face (as He commands) and lusting for the works of His hand (manifestations), often invokes a different spirit of fierce, 'superior' power and unloving control, which manifests in them. This kind of spirit DOES NOT come from God but rather is an unholy spirit- a dangerous spirit. If you cannot discern that a different spirit is at work upon men like Ken Copeland, Crefflo Dollar, Joyce (marble commode) Meyer, Benny Hinn and dozens of other "stars" in this movement, you are spiritually blinded to a certain level or entirely deceived. The worst of these counterfeits operate in what is known as Charismatic witchcraft and are as slick, rebellious and fierce as deceivers come. Remember, even the devil can preach the gospel, although he will mix it with demonic deceptions, as is prevelant today or just overload you with so much information that you can get discouraged and overwhelmed (which is what listening to Joyce Meyer did to me).
Concerning Rick Warren consorts with and promotes heresy and was instrumental in the rise of the dangerous "Emerging Church," which is an ongoing reinvention (apostasy) of Christianity and Warren was instrumental in signing an heretical document concerning Islam, which has spurned a new movement called 'Chrislam.' Another stream of heresy that Warren has been associating with is Contemplative Spirituality & Prayer, which is basically christianized transcendental meditation, it is NOT biblical Christianity! Even Moody Press has published a book that advocates it! MOODY PUBLISHERS PUBLISHES BOOK ON CONTEMPLATIVE/CENTERING PRAYER
In Matthew 24, Jesus was asked by His disciples:"Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age? And here are a few important verses of Jesus' answer to them that refer to perversion and violence being rampant in the days before His coming:
But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark Matthew 24: 37,38 (Gross perversions and debauchery) The Nephilim (fallen angels) had intermingled and interbred with mankind for the purpose of destroying mankind and almost succeeded. Mankind had become so evil that God regretted creating us and had to destroy all but Noah and his family. Are the Nephilim (fallen angels) of Genesis 6 about to stage a 'grand entrance' (demons have been here for thousands of years) in the form of "aliens" from a "superior civilization," that the Vatican is now openly announcing and preparing for (demonic activity and evil as in the days of Noah). Is their plan now to cause the prophesied great delusion? Great spiritual delusion is already here but is it about to get much worse?
In Luke 17, the same message is further enlarged to include what happened in Sodom for their rebellion against God: Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
Luke 17:2830
Is the Vatican preparing for the "arrival" of "space aliens" (ie: demons, Nephilim masquerading as "aliens" in what may be the most shocking delusion to ever be perpetrated upon humanity? CAN THIS SORT OF MASSIVE "ARRIVAL" TAKE PLACE WHILE GOD'S REMNANT IS STILL HERE?
PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS BIBLICALLY GROUNDED, EXCELLENT EXPLANATION OF THE PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE! I REALIZE THAT NON-CHRISTIANS AS WELL AS MANY CHRISTIANS FIND OUR BELIEF IN THE RAPTURE TO BE "KOOKY," EVEN INSANE BUT JESUS WILL FULFILL ALL OF HIS PROMISES AND ALL OF THE BIBLICAL SIGNS POINT TO HIS COMING IN OUR GENERATION! Dr. John MacArthur is a well respected (by biblical evangelicals), internationally renowned, evangelical pastor and scholar, with whom I agree on major doctrinal essentials and upon most other subjects affecting the evangelical church today:
There are three major areas of focus on this site:
1. The imminent Rapture of the church and related fulfillment of Bible prophecy that is happening before our eyes or will soon be fulfilled. (The Rapture= Jesus returning to 'snatch' ["Harpazo" in the Greek] His bride the church, out of this increasingly spiritually dying and dangerous world)
2. The major increase of prophesied wars and rumors of wars; world chaos, global financial crisis and the insidious falling away of many Christians (apostasy) from the Truth of the Gospel, signals Jesus' imminent return. I am one of many who are called to WARN everyone to turn to Jesus Christ before God's impending 7 year global 'Tribulation' (God's judgment and wrath poured out upon rebellious humanity, that will begin sometime after the Rapture of the church.
3. The third but of greatest importatance for born-again Christians, is my online book because of the extreme evil and temptation coming upon earth, Christians MUST NOW ALL SEEK JESUS AND ABIDE DEEPLY AND CLOSER THAN EVER IN HIM.

____________________________________________________________________
This video is an important and revealing message about the state of current prophetic news and many of the intensive and immediate prophetic factors (a superb overview) taking place, that signal the imminent coming of our Lord that I have ever heard in any one broadcast! Dr. Jack Van Impe may seem a bit eccentric to many (because he gets so excited) but he knows and correlates Bible prophecy to transpiring news from the Middle East and the world, better than anyone else and is also revealing current apostasy in major Christian movements. Start this at 3:00 minutes in:
BIBLE BELIEVING, BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIANS HAVE NO FEAR OF ANY COMING APOCALYPSE BECAUSE GOD HAS PROMISED US THAT JESUS IS COMING TO RAPTURE HIS BRIDE (born-again Christians) AND WILL NOT POUR OUT HIS WRATH UPON US, JUST AS HE SAVED NOAH AND HIS FAMILY! WE CAN TAKE GREAT COMFORT AND REFUGE IN KNOWING AND TRUSTING IN JESUS ALONE, INSTEAD OF BEING TERRORIZED BY OR FIXATED UPON THE COMING BIBLICAL APOCALYPSE AS PROPHESIED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION!
Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching...Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." ...Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has. Luke 12: 37,40,43,44 Born-again Christians, need not worry or fixate upon ANY coming apocalypse but rather, are lovingly and increasingly focused upon the One (Jesus) who Who is coming for us BEFORE the biblical apocalypse hits this earth. 'Wars and rumors of wars' will continue to intensify and very well might directly affect us before Jesus comes but the Apocalypse of Revelation is something entirely different and much more devestaing and deadly and will be God's judgment intened only for the wicked, NOT FOR BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS! Anyone can receive Jesus and become born-again, so I am not being elitist in any way but rather preaching Jesus, the only Way, Truth and Life! We have been commanded in His word to be "waiting and watching" for His blessed appearance and to be fixated spiritually upon Jesus, not on the Rapture itself and certainly not on some occult apocalypse NOR the coming Tribulation Apocalypse found in Revelation that will follow the Rapture at some point, about which Jesus said: For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened (Matt 24:21,22) Yes, many will become Christians during the Tribulation, many of them will be martyred. They are known as 'Tribulation saints' (Rev. 7). Most of them will be hunted down and killed by the global government. A healthy fear of God and fear of being separated from Him by your sin for eternity should greatly disturb you. I am one of hopefully, millions of watchmen who are called to warn others about His coming and to get prepared spiritually. Turn to Jesus NOW! DON'T WAIT! THE DAY OF THE LORD IS AT HAND! I am NOT saying that we will not have intense trials and face extremely difficult times (I am) before Jesus comes but what sets extreme difficulties apart from the true Apocalypse; such as deadly terrorism unleashed upon the West, massive financial meltdown, deadly riots, crime and violence, massive unemployment, anti-Christian government persecutions and increasing natural disasters, is that the biblical Tribulation will make anything like that look like mere child's play, as the Tribulation will be God's holy wrath and judgment poured out upon the earth for not repenting of gross corruption and evil and for rejecting Jesus. His grace, forgiveness, acceptance and love is STILL AVAILABLE! TURN TO JESUS NOW! |
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me. Revelation 3:20
JESUS IS GOD'S ARK OF SALVATION, HIS ULTIMATE RESCUE VESSEL FROM THE COMING APOCALYPSE, FOR ALL WHO RECEIVE HIM! THE RAPTURE COULD EASILY HAPPEN AT ANY TIME BECAUSE BIBLE PROPHECY INDICATES THAT HIS COMING IS IMMINENT! (In the video below, Jack Van Impe (a walking /talking Bible) explains why Jesus could come at any time for His bride!) Though Jack nor I are setting any dates, we know that we are in the season or time of His coming! (Even the History Channel is running numerous programs that detail all of the apocalyptic scenarios that set dates and the return of Christ! They even examine major aspects of the coming biblical Rapture and Tribulation! According to the History Channel, the genius father of modern physics, Sir Isaac Newton, "calculated" that the biblical apocalypse would happen in 2060 but supposedly miscalculated it by about 50 years and that his prediction should have "agreed with the Mayans as 2012 being the year"- preposterous!) The Bible prophesies a global apocalypse in Revelation but no one knows when it will begin except that Jesus will first come for those who have accepted, repented, received Him and are full of His Spirit, in what is well known (and ridiculed by many) as the Rapture.
A Messianic Jewish pastor has discerned a powerful prophetic pattern of signs in the Bible, of nine harbingers of judgment now coming to America, (because America was created by a covenant with God, as was ancient Israel and our leaders are rejecting God and our covenant with Him and are endangering Israel) calling us to wake up and repent, being fulfilled before our eyes, that signals that God is systematically warning us and removing His protection from America, resulting in a shaking of America and destructions that started on 9-11 and is based thoroughly upon scripture and can be seen in ongoing modern events:
The major defense departments of the world have the ability to destroy the world several times over and also have unconventional super weapons (non-nuclear) IF ABUSED, can cause hurricanes and earthquakes! However, the biblical apocalypse (God's wrath) will only commence sometime after the Rapture (the Tribulation). The signs of the Lord's coming are numerous and now obvious to born again Christians, like the prophesied intricate alliances of many countries against Israel, some of which have only recently sided with Israel's enemies as the Bible prophesied. Our own administration continues to pressure Israel into a veritable corner and to appease it's deadly enemies. It was also prophesied that most of the countries of the world would hate Israel, which is also now true, more than ever. Millions believe that Jesus is coming very soon based upon the accuracy of previously fulfilled Bible prophecies, which Jesus fulfilled when He first came to earth. Here are the astronomical chances that one man would fulfill ALL of those ancient Bible prophecies. Here are some of the major Bible prophecies; now obviously set to be fulfilled concerning His Second Coming but people still scoff about the 2nd coming of the Lord, which was also prophesied almost 2000 years ago by St. Peter:
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming?
...The Lord is not slack (slow) concerning His promise, (of His coming for us) as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.2 Peter 3:3,4,9
That word "repentance" is a commonly despised word today, even in most churches because anything that sounds ''negative" in these last days or causes you to feel guilty, is considered to be wrong and intolerant, even though God clearly warned us that in these last days, Christians would prefer to have their "ears tickled" (2 Timothy 4:3) with lies, rather than hear the truth of the REAL Gospel. REPENTING OF OUR SIN AND GETTING RIGHT WITH GOD IS THE MOST POSITIVE THING THAT ANYONE WILL EVER DO BUT MOST OF THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH HAS FALLEN AWAY FROM PREACHING REPENTANCE AND THE PURE GOSPEL, (LET ALONE THE COMING OF THE LORD), WHICH WAS ALSO PROPHESIED IN THE BIBLE AND CALLED 'THE GREAT APOSTASY,'! THE NEO-EVANGELICAL CHURCH HAS GROWN COLD AND ALLERGIC TO THE CONVICTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHICH SCRIPTURE WARNED WOULD TAKE PLACE BEFORE JESUS COMES FOR US! ("falling away" = 'apostasia' in the Greek, 2 Thess. 2:3) Christians must embrace biblically based, righteous correction daily in order to know and walk with God (I say this from experience and from what God wants for all of us to do). Pride, selfishness, grudge-holding-unforgiveness, anger, greed, ungodly and idolatrous agendas (like doctrines found in the "Purpose-Driven-church growth" movement or the ridiculous "Word of Faith Movement." Both of these major strains of apostasy, represent what St. Paul was talking about in Galatians when he warned us not to fall for 'another gospel.' 'Another gospel' is one which has been altered to suit man's liking. Both of these major movements create a different Jesus than the One who is in the Bible. They both appeal to the selfish pride of people. Warren's seduction centers on pleasing man rather than God by creating a mixture of the Gospel and man's philosophies and even demonically inspired ideas. Rick Warren's apostate mixture panders to people by watering down the Gospel and mixing it with all sorts of man inspired philosophies. The mercenary Word of Faith movement mixes in dangerous, metaphysical, gnostic doctrines that can turn a Christian into a fierce, self-entitled "faith" shaman that perverts faith into a tool that they can use according to their own vain immaginations (NOT EVERYONE IN THIS MOVEMENT TAKES IT TO THIS EXTENT BUT THEY NEED TO COME OUT OF IT AND REPENT).
I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ. But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. Galatians 1:6-11
This site is dedicated to abiding IN Jesus (deep personal worship: knowing and walking in Jesus in Spirit and in Truth) and the dire need for being ready for His coming by repenting of our sins, which includes all dead or counterfeit religion. The Apostle Paul prophesied that right before Jesus would come for His church, there would be a massive and spiritually militant, falling away (rebellion) from the Truth of the Gospel (apostasy) and because that has become so rampant, I am compelled to thoroughly identify what it is and those who are leading and spreading it. My calling isn't politically correct but I would NOT be in obedience to God nor faithful to my calling, which is as an evangelist and a watchman. What sets this ministry apart from most, is that we are obedient to God's word as far as naming names of individuals and major movements that are spreading dangerous heresy that has been deceiving even God's elect. Christians are COMMANDED to ....mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple." Romans 16:17-18
There are several major signs that the Apostle Paul prophesied that would happen right before Jesus came back to Rapture His church:
1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
'Repentance' is a necessary and ongoing part of every Christian's daily life in the form of 'confession' to God, as we all still sin in some way. Repentance is not just some wacky fundamentalist idea. It is the only way for anyone to receive Jesus Christ and to truly be forgiven by God, know Him and walk with Him. Sincerely ask God if this is the Truth and He will reveal it to you. As Christians, Jesus NEVER gives up on us no matter how far we have fallen but no one can be restored to God without repentance. Seek Jesus NOW! JESUS IS WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU! HE LOVES US ALL- MORE THAN WE CAN EVEN KNOW IN THIS LIFETIME!
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD (MANKIND) THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH (TRUSTS) IN HIM (for salvation) SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE John 3:16
But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: John 1:12
The focus of this site is the most important issue for EVERY human being: Jesus Christ; knowing and abiding in Him after being born again and receiving Him as God and Savior! Since Jesus is coming soon for His children, Bible prophecy, ("the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy" Revelation 19:10 ), is another major focus here, because not to warn everyone to be ready for Jesus' IMMINENT coming for us, would be like watching a man light a house on fire without stopping him, in which I knew that a large family lived and then just watch it burn while the people perished. That is why I also talk about many controversial yet prophetically related matters here because your eternal life with Christ far outweighs the hatred of those who think that such preaching is crazy and offensive! "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain...having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better" (Philip. 1:21-23)" Bible prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes or is clearly about to be fulfilled. Many have been called to preach the most important focus of my site, which is repenting, receiving, knowing and abiding in Jesus Christ.
THE KING OF KINGS IS COMING SOON!
R U Rapture READY???
THE DAY OF THE LORD, MAY WELL BEGIN WITH THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH!
JESUS, OUR LOVING CREATOR, SAVIOR AND KING OF THE UNIVERSE, IS COMING SOON, TO RAPTURE HIS CHILDREN OFF OF THE FACE OF THIS PLANET! MARANATHA! (Come quickly Lord Jesus!)
WHY THE EMERGENCY TO TELL OTHERS ABOUT THE IMMINENT COMING OF THE LORD? BECAUSE THIS MAY BE YOUR ONLY INVITIATION FROM GOD ALMIGHTY TO RECEIVE AND KNOW HIM NOW AND BE READY FOR CHRIST' COMING. JESUS TOLD US OF THE MANY SIGNS THAT WOULD PRECEDE HIS COMING AND THEY ARE BEING FULFILLED RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES! HE'S CALLED THOSE OF US WHO KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THE RAPTURE (THE WRATH OF GOD UPON THE WHOLE WORLD, DURING THE TRIBULATION) TO WARN PEOPLE THAT THE WORLD IS GOING TO BECOME HELL ON EARTH AFTER THE RAPTURE. I IMPLORE YOU COME TO JESUS, SPEAK IN FAITH TO HIM, REPENT AND RECEIVE HIM NOW!
(I AM NOT MAKING PREDICTIONS OF ANY YEAR OR DATE THAT JESUS IS COMING, JUST DISCERNING THE SIGNS THAT JESUS SAID WOULD PRECEDE HIS COMING)
JESUS IS ABBA'S ARK! JESUS IS OUR ARK (Holy Rescue Vessel) OF SALVATION- OUR PERFECT, ETERNAL DWELLING PLACE- our Shelter, OUR HOME! HE WANTS EVERYONE TO COME TO HIM AND TO RECEIVE HIM!
looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, Titus 2:13
Jesus our Great God and Savior... our Gospel Ship; ABBA'S ARK, IS ABOUT TO SAIL (the Rapture) ARE YOU READY, WAITING, WATCHING FOR AND SPIRITUALLY IN LOVE WITH THE BRIDEGROOM? JESUS HIMSELF IS EXTENDING HIS ARMS OUT TO YOU - DON'T BE LEFT OUT IN THE "FLOOD" THAT IS ABOUT TO SLAM OUR WORLD!
SEEK JESUS WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART (ACCORDING TO HIS WORD)
REPENT OF YOUR SINS (IN RESPONSE TO THE CONVICTION OF HIS WORD AND HOLY SPIRIT)
ASK HIM INTO YOUR LIFE AND RECEIVE JESUS AS ABSOLUTE LORD OF YOUR LIFE
KNOW HIM- CONSUME AND MEDITATE ON HIS WORD UNTIL YOU KNOW HIS PRESENCE IN YOU THROUGH THE SUPERNATURAL POWER OF HIS INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT. JESUS WILL TRANSFORM YOU AND LEAD YOU BY HIS INDWELLING SPIRIT!
LOVE JESUS MORE THAN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS LIFE
ABIDE IN JESUS (LIVE AND REST IN HIM SPIRITUALLY)
OBEY HIM ACCORDING TO HIS WORD
Our world is quickly moving toward complete chaos and world war (there are already increasing "wars and rumors of wars" as Jesus prophesied)- so we must be spiritually prepared. Repenting, receiving and knowing Jesus, is the only answer to having and knowing God's peace on earth (no matter what our circumstances) and for eternity!
JESUS and His coming for us, was long pre-shadowed by the truth found in the story of Noah's Ark and the long period (120 years!) of Noah lovingly and sacrificially calling his neighbors and countryside to repentance. Jesus made the direct comparison of Noah's time, to the spiritual condition of people in these last days in Luke 17: 26-29: "And as it was in the days of Noah, 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."
"So as in the days of Noah," the massive destruction of God's judgment targeted at the ungodly and unrepentant, WILL NOT HAPPEN "until God [TAKES-SNATCHES-RAPTURES] his people out" OF THIS WORLD. EVERYONE STILL HAS THE GREAT PRIVILEGE OF TURNING TO JESUS BEFORE GOD'S WRATH IS POURED OUT UPON THIS WORLD. The signs of His coming and the overwhelming sense of impending apocalypse are rampant now throughout mankind!
FURTHER PROOF OF GOD'S PATTERN OF DELIVERING HIS CHILDREN BEFORE HE POURED OUT HIS JUDGMENT, OCCURRED when the ANGEL told LOT that the city of Sodom WAS GOING TO BE DESTROYED, the ANGEL said; "Haste thee, escape (from Sodom) for I CANNOT DO ANYTHING till (you escape to Zoar)..." (Genesis 19: 22-24). The 'spirit of Sodom,' has been growing exponentially over the past few years and is now being legalized and even institutionalized by our own government! Perversions are now the norm, in fact they are now often treated as a special, protected lifestyle and orientation (I am NOT saying that any person should ever be discriminated against or targeted for hatred or violence; having the freedom to believe and to behave as they choose, as long as it is lawful and not harmful to others. I am not however talking about accepting anyone as a member in the church who does not repent of sinful behavior, though correction and the call to repentance must always be done in love. [However, tougher love, is sometimes necessary for those who are in grievous error within the church, especially for leaders who are preaching heresy!]). All that one needs to do to confirm the pervasive intensity of sexual perversion in our modern culture, is to turn on any popular tv sitcom (please turn it off quickly). America is rapidly falling from within, from the bottom up and the top down. Most of "evangelical" Christianity has fallen as well, having been hijacked by one of several MAJOR counterfeit "movements". One MAJOR prophetic scripture concerning two MAJOR prophetic events that MUST happen just prior to the Lord's Rapture of His bride:
|

|

SO, JUST AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH (gross perversions, rampant sin and corruption but this time on a global scale with nuclear weapons in the hands of thugs and murderers, along with God's open warning and call to repentance), WE CAN EXPECT THAT BEFORE the "GREAT TRIBULATION"...that God will RESCUE (RAPTURE) all of HIS children who are truly saved; filled with the 'Oil' of His Holy Ghost and as a result of knowing Jesus and His word, are 'waiting and watching' for Him BECAUSE HE HAS PROMISED US THAT HE WILL NOT POUR OUT HIS WRATH UPON HIS CHILDREN (I Thess. 5:9), which will be poured out upon an unrepentant world during the coming Tribulation (which is a major reason that I am LOVINGLY, compelled to warn anyone who would read or listen to me!)

For In the twinkling of an eye, "WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED,"
1 Corinthians 15: 51-53:
He who dwells in the Secret Place (JESUS) of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust."
Psalm 91:1,2 NKJV
...and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching... But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the Thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." Luke 36-40
(Jesus is the coming "Thief" in this case:
For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. I Thess. 5:2)
DEAR CHRISTIAN AND ANYONE ELSE WHO WILL LISTEN:
MANY MEN AND WOMEN WHO TRULY KNOW, LOVE, OBEY AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST, KNOW THAT THE BIBLICALLY PROPHETIC SIGNS TELL US THAT WE ARE LIVING IN THE LAST OF THE VERY LAST DAYS BEFORE JESUS COMES FOR HIS TRUE CHURCH AND THAT AT SOME POINT AFTER THE RAPTURE, (THOUGH BELIEF IN THE 'RAPTURE' IS NOT 'ESSENTIAL DOCTRINE' THAT YOU MUST BELIEVE IN TO BE SAVED) THE LIVING HELL OF THE TRIBULATION WILL BREAK OUT UPON THE EARTH. (THE WRATH OF GOD UPON THE UNREPENTANT [I AND MANY OTHERS HAVE LONG BELIEVED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN THIS WAY, GOING BACK TO THE 1ST CENTURY! THE 'RAPTURE' IS AN OBVIOUS IMMINENT EVENT (TO THOSE WHO HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD WITHIN) IN THE EPISTLES OF THE APOSTLE PAUL]) MILLIONS ARE SENSING AN IMPENDING CATASTROPHE OR JUDGMENT COMING UPON THE WORLD, AS SO MANY CATACLYSMS HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN RECENT YEARS AND SO MANY POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC PROBLEMS ARE WORSENING. MANY RARE, 'NATURAL DISASTERS', HAVE OCCURRED SHORTLY AFTER THE PROCLAMATION OF OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT, UNGODLY POLICIES , PARTICULARLY THOSE LEADING TO THE ENDANGERMENT OF ISRAEL!
God said that He will bless those that bless thee (Israel) and curse those that curse thee! Genesis 12:3
This religiously insane and intensifying hatred against Israel and the West, has gone global and is deathly inflamed by radical Islam in their quest to usher in their prophesied "messiah," the "Mahdi," that will soon ignite what is known in the Bible as the (also imminent) 'War of Gog and Magog.' The aliances of the major Islamic nations with Russia are solidly established now, driven by Russia's interests in controling and obtaining Middle East oil, than when Bible prophecy expert, Hal Lindsey wrote the 'Late Great Planet Earth back in the late '60's. Hal Lindsey writes:
"Gog" refers to modern Russia, from Moscow (Meshech) to Siberia. (Tubal). "Magog" refers to the states along the Black Sea, and in particular, the Republic of Georgia.'
I outlined Ezekiel's prophecy in 1969 in my book "The Late, Great, Planet Earth" at a time most of this territory was a well-entrenched part of the Soviet Union.
"After many days you shall be visited: in the latter years you shall come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them." (Ezekiel 38:8)
According to the prophet Ezekiel, this Russian-led alliance of nations would sweep suddenly down upon Israel in a surprise invasion that evokes only a weak diplomatic response from the West."
Hal Lindsey
BIBLE PROPHECY IS MERELY ONE OF GOD'S AWESOME ASPECTS THAT PROVE HIS EXISTENCE. HAL LINDSEY'S 'LATE GREAT PLANET EARTH,' WAS THE FIRST COMPELLING BOOK THAT I EVER READ (OTHER THAN THE BIBLE) THAT LED ME TO BELIEVE IN AND RECEIVE JESUS IN 1973 AND IT IS PROVING TO BE MIRACULOUSLY TRUE BECAUSE HE WAS GIVEN SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT ABOUT THIS COMING WAR AND THE ALIGNMENTS THAT WERE THERE ALL THE TIME IN THE PROPHETS!
The IMMINENT attack by a Kabal of nations against Israel, (listed in Ezekiel and Isaiah) in what Ezekiel prophesied as the future "war of 'Gog and Magog,' (Ezekiel 38,39) which are the nations that are now threatening and surround Israel and even further, is a major sign that the Rapture and the ensuing 'Day of the Lord,' is at hand! This video confirms Hal Lindsey's long-standing biblical interpretation of what is about to happen in the Middle East, in great detail. The allignments of these nations, were impossible to have known 2500 years ago except by a revelation from God. Turkey has just turned against Israel in just the past few years, Georgia (part of 'Magog') was invaded and brutalized into submission by Russia in recent years and will be a launching point for the Russian invasion, which will probably take place after an initial invasion and bombardment by a conglomerate of Islamic nations either falters or is perceived by their major partner in crime (Russia) as requiring their direct participation to deal Israel a 'death blow':
The scope and intensity of the the natural and man-enhanced disasters (like the Japan and Indonesian tsunamis, Sandy, New Orleans) that have increased exponentially, are just one obvious sign that confirms that we are in the neck of the prophetic hourglass. Most who call themselves 'Christians' aren't aware, let alone watching for these ominous signs and most importantly for the One that they point to. They have become so preoccupied with worldly pursuits that they prefer to hide their heads like ostriches in the dirt or have become totally indifferent, having heard for decades that we are "in the last days," saying to them selves as the Bible warned: "where is the promise of His coming" ?
Even most non-Christians are sensing that something is deeply wrong on planet earth and it isn't "global warming." Satan's major ploy is to terrify and dehumanize humanity and cause increasing world-wide panic and chaos. Apocalyptical occult prophecy, like that of the ancient Mayans, which is an occult "prophecy" of global destruction, supposedly beginning in December 2012, an interpretation, which is an erroneous assumption based upon only one major hieroglyph, is a revelation from demonic forces of their evil intentions! Many people can sense that something terrible is about to happen on planet earth (due to all of the 'Wars and rumors of wars') that will soon affect the whole planet. Satan is working overtime to get people to accept his version of the impending apocalypse (Tribulation) and thus obfuscate what the Bible and God's prophets (who are 100% correct) have warned about long ago that instead of terrorizing, brings people to repentance and eternal salvation in Christ. Many people instead are becoming increasingly disturbed by the horrible wars, famines, economic upheaval, death and destruction that Jesus warned us about. Persecution and genocide against Christians has been taking place for years in many countries that goes unpublicized. Persecution of Christians and Jews is sharply rising. Obama himself seemed to take joy in anouncing that "America was no longer a Christian nation," when Christianity and the Bible were the major ultimate sources that our founding fathers used in revolting against tyrannical government and in creating our Constitution! These facts were confirmed by congress, presidents and the founding fathers wrote and taught about our Christian foundation across our nation for years and years. We now have ant-Americans and anti-Christians ruling our country!
When the US economy crashes, America will become an extremely dangerous place and I pray that we don't have to see that or go through any of it but I sense that we may go through some really intense times before the Rapture! Jesus offers us His perfect peace NOW, no matter what crisis we are facing, if we will repent and trust completely in Him!
I realize that most are disturbed by this kind of information and are clueless as to what is absolutely necessary to be spiritually prepared for what is coming upon the earth. Evil and chaos are rising rapidly accross the globe, yet even many who call themselves Christians, prefer to be unaware as to what is about to happen. Many Christians "believe" that they are ready to meet God by just being "good, church-going" Christians and by merely believing in Jesus. Millions have been deceived into an 'easy-believism' that eliminates the foundation and initial threshold necessary to become a Christian, which is a word hated by most people, called 'REPENTANCE.' THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE (JESUS) IS GOING TO TURN AWAY MANY WHO THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE SAVED FROM THE COMING WRATH OF GOD FOR ETERNITY AND WILL TELL THEM WHEN THEY STAND BEFORE HIM:
"DEPART FROM ME FOR I NEVER KNEW YOU"
....IT IS POSSIBLE TO "BELIEVE" AND TO "KNOW" ALL ABOUT GOD AND YET NOT TRULY KNOW HIM - LET ALONE WALK IN AND 'ABIDE' (LIVE IN) HIM!
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO REPENT AND TO TRULY KNOW HIM!
I HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU WHAT YOU SINCERELY NEED TO DO ASAP!
JESUS PROMISED:
... I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I Am, there you may be also... John 14:3
(Yes, it has been 2000 years but fulfilled Bible prophecy is the key that tells us that His return is closer than ever...even at the door!)
A major, ominous prophecy being fulfilled right NOW, right before Jesus returns, is the raging Great Apostasy in major portions of the evangelical church! Some get disturbed at how I've "mixed" abiding IN Christ with warning Christians about being deceived, as in the great apostasy that is now taking place but the Apostle Paul did the same type of "mixing" of edification with warning in Colossians and his other epistles:
As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. Colossians 2:6-8
ARE MOST WHO NOW THINK THAT THEY ARE 'BORN-AGAIN' CHRISTIANS, TRULY READY TO MEET THE BRIDEGROOM, LET ALONE KNOW OR EVEN CARE THAT JESUS IS COMING SOON? IS MOST OF THE "EVANGELICAL CHURCH" MERELY 'GOING THROUGH THE (LUKEWARM/LAODICEAN) MOTIONS,' HAVING LOST THEIR 'FIRST' AND FERVENT LOVE FOR JESUS- OR PERHAPS THEY WERE NEVER TRULY BORN AGAIN, THUS NEVER REALLY KNEW OR LOVED JESUS IN THE FIRST PLACE (POSERS, PRETENDERS)? MERELY BEING 'AFFILIATED' WITH A CHURCH, DOES NOT MAKE YOU A CHRISTIAN. JESUS CALLED THEM: "FOOLISH CHRISTIANS." JUST AS HAVING MERE "BELIEF," DOES NOT EQUATE TO HAVING A SAVING TRUST IN CHRIST "(FOR) EVEN THE DEMONS BELIEVE AND TREMBLE." (James 2:19) PEW POLLS INDICATE THAT FROM 57% TO 65% OF "EVANGELICAL" CHRISTIANS, BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO GOD (PANTHEISM), WHICH IS A COMPLETE DENIAL OF WHO CHRIST IS! THE MAJOR EARMARKS OF MANY OF THESE FALLEN OR DECEIVED, IS A SPIRITUAL ALLERGY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, BIBLE PROPHECY AND ESPECIALLY TO DOCTRINE. IT IS AS IF THE WORD OF GOD AND THE REAL JESUS OF THE BIBLE OFFENDS THEM! SO THEY HAVE CREATED A FALSE 'JESUS' (A DIFFERENT "GOSPEL") WHO DOESN'T OFFEND OR CONVICT THEM BUT RATHER ALWAYS MAKES THEM 'FEEL GOOD' ABOUT THEMSELVES, (much more like a "Santa" character than God Almighty!) NO MATTER HOW BIBLICALLY WRONG AND SINFUL THEY ARE! THIS MILITANT 'FALLING AWAY' FROM GOD'S TRUTH, IS CONFIRMATION OF THE MEANING OF MATTHEW
chapter 25, IN WHICH 50% OF THE 'BRIDES' WERE MERELY POSING AS CHRISTIANS and completely indifferent to Jesus- NOT HAVING THE SPIRIT; THUS WERE LEFT BEHIND BY JESUS, OUR IMMINENT BRIDEGROOM:
“Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. 3For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, (HOLY SPIRIT) 4but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps. 5Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. (REPRESENTS THE FALLING AWAY FROM JESUS AND HIS TRUTH) 6But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ 7“Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8The foolish said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9But the prudent answered, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’ 10And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. (AS WHAT HAPPENED WITH NOAH'S ARK!) 11Later the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’ 12“But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’ (THE FOOLISH BRIDES WERE NOT EVEN BORN AGAIN!) 13Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour Matthew 25:1-13 (NOTE: Jesus did say that we would know the season and it is upon us!).
There is both great joy in the parable of Matthew 25 and also stark reality that thinly represents what will happen when Jesus comes for His true church. Matthew Henry's inspired commentatary correctly identifies those 5 virgins 'left behind' as being insincere "hypocrites" and "apostates:"
Sincere Christians are the wise virgins, and hypocrites the foolish ones, as in another parable they are represented by wise and foolish builders. Note, Those are wise or foolish indeed, that are so in the affairs of their souls. True religion is true wisdom; sin is folly, but especially the sin of hypocrisy, for those are the greatest fools, that are wise in their own conceit, and those the worst of sinners, that feign themselves just men. Some observe from the equal number of the wise and foolish, what a charitable decorum (it is Archbishop Tillotson’s expression) Christ observes, as if he would hope that the number of true believers was nearly equal to that of hypocrites, or, at least, would teach us to hope the best concerning those that profess religion, and to think of them with a bias to the charitable side. Though, in judging of ourselves, we ought to remember that the gate is strait, and few find it; yet, in judging of others, we ought to remember that the Captain of our salvation brings many sons to glory.[2.] The evidence of this character was in the very thing which they were to attend to; by that they are judged of. First, It was the folly of the foolish virgins, that they took their lamps, and took no oil with them, v. 3. They had just the oil enough to make their lamps burn for the present, to make a show with, as if they intended to meet the bridegroom; but no cruse or bottle of oil with them for a recruit if the bridegroom tarried; thus hypocrites,1. They have no principle within. They have a lamp of profession in their hands, but have not in their hearts that stock of sound knowledge, rooted dispositions, and settled resolutions, which is necessary to carry them through the services and trials of the present state. They act under the influence of external inducements, but are void of spiritual life; like a tradesman, that sets up without a stock, or the seed on the stony ground, that wanted root.2. They have no prospect of, nor make provision for, what is to come. They took lamps for a present show, but not oil for after use. This incogitancy is the ruin of many professors; all their care is to recommend themselves to their neighbours, whom they now converse with, not to approve themselves to Christ, whom they must hereafter appear before; as if any thing will serve, provide it will but serve for the present. Tell them of things not seen as yet, and you are like Lot to his sons-in-law, as one that mocked. They do not provide for hereafter, as the ant does, nor lay up for the time to come, 1 Tim. 6:19.
Much of this may not make any "sense" to you or worse yet, sound like a fairy tale? If you feign yourself a Christian you are either extremely immature in Christ or you are NOT born again! JESUS IS COMING SOON! DO YOU WANT TO BE READY? MANY WHO THINK THAT THEY KNOW JESUS AND ARE "READY TO MEET HIM," WILL BE LEFT BEHIND, ACCORDING TO JESUS' OWN PARABLE IN MATTHEW 25!
ARE YOU BORN AGAIN AND FILLED WITH THE OIL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AS JESUS REQUIRES AND ARE YOU SPIRITUALLY WAITING AND WATCHING LOVINGLY AND EXPECTANTLY FOR JESUS OR HAVE YOU BEEN DECEIVED BY SOME COUNTERFEIT "GOSPEL" AND ARE OFFENDED BY WHAT I WRITE HERE? REPENT NOW WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME! NOAH PREACHED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND REPENTANCE FOR 120 YEARS AND YET ONLY NOAH'S FAMILY WAS SAVED! MANY MORE ARE SAVED TODAY THAN IN NOAH'S DAY AND WILL BE RAPTURED WHEN JESUS, OUR BRIDEGROOM COMES AND YOU CAN BE ONE OF THEM BUT THE TIME IS VERY SHORT. DON'T PLAY ANY MORE GAMES WITH GOD. PRETENDING YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN IS A LUXURY YOU CAN'T AFFORD! IF YOU WERE BORN INTO SOME OTHER RELIGION, JESUS IS CALLING YOU TOO, TO SALVATION IN HIMSELF! SINCERELY ASK HIM IF HE IS REAL AND WAIT UPON HIS ANSWER. YOU PROBABLY WON'T HEAR A VOICE FROM HEAVEN. OUR GOD IS USUALY MUCH MORE SUBTLE THAN THAT!
CHRISTIANS: JESUS IS OUR HOME AND IS ABOUT TO 'GATHER US UNTO HIMSELF'!
JESUS Himself, is God's ultimate, Holy Vessel of Salvation... JESUS IS GOD'S ARK (ship) OF SALVATION and spiritually similar to Noah's Ark, which was a spiritual metaphor- a type and foreshadowing of the Ultimate Ark: Jesus our Great God and Savior... our Gospel Ship; ABBA'S ARK, IS ABOUT TO SAIL (the Rapture), to "RECEIVE US UNTO HIMSELF" (John 14:3), TO "SNATCH US" (RAPTURE US) LIKE A THIEF (coming) IN THE NIGHT!
(I Thessalonians 5:2) Jesus didn't come to earth just to give us a message from God. Jesus is not just a Messenger, JESUS IS GOD'S PERSONAL MESSAGE TO ALL MANKIND. Jesus isn't merely someone who is pointing the way to God, merely a messenger. JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD; THE ONLY COMPLETE TRUTH AND THE ONLY WAY TO LIFE ETERNAL! JESUS IS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING BECAUSE JESUS IS GOD! JESUS IS THE CREATOR: OUR CREATOR! All things were created by/through Jesus:
"For by Him (Jesus) all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created by Him and for Him. 17And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together." Colossians 1:16-17
(Christians mustn't look down upon [condemn or harbor contempt] anyone for not believing the way that we do- God has given ALL people freedom of choice. We respect everyone's right to believe in whatever they want, as long as they are NOT harming themselves; others or are condemning my right to believe in Jesus and His Word and not be forced by anyone to do anything that goes against my biblical Faith)
JESUS PROCLAIMED: "I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE"... JOHN 10:3. "IF YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN ME, YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN MY FATHER ALSO; FROM NOW ON YOU KNOW HIM AND HAVE SEEN HIM JOHN 14:7 "FOR IN HIM DWELLS ALL THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY" COLOSSIANS 2:9
FOR ALL WHO LOVE HIM AND KNOW HIM:
JESUS IS OUR HOME, WHICH IS WHY HE COMMANDS US TO ABIDE IN HIM!
The heart and most important message of this website, can be found in reading my online book: 'Jesus Is Our Dwelling Place'.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will eat with him, and he with me. Rev. 3:20
That they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me John 17:21
CALL ON HIM NOW! DON'T WAIT, JESUS LOVES YOU AND WANTS YOU TO COME TO HIM BUT YOU MUST REPENT (STOP) OF YOUR SIN AND GIVE YOUR HEART, SOUL AND MIND TO HIM! THERE IS NOTHING THAT HE WON'T FORGIVE, IF YOU STOP WILLFULLY SINNING AND SINCERELY REPENT TO JESUS! IF YOU HAVE THE WILL AND DESIRE TO KNOW AND PLEASE GOD AND HAVE THE WILL TO CHANGE, GOD WILL CHANGE YOU OVER TIME AS YOU REPENT, SEEK HIM DAILY, TALK TO HIM AND SPEND TIME IN HIS PRESENCE IN WORSHIP! JESUS HAS TOLD US WHAT HE REQUIRES OF US: REPENTANCE, LOVE, OBEDIENCE AND ABIDING IN HIM DAILY! HE IS A FORGIVING AND LOVING HEAVENLY FATHER WHO WANTS TO CHANGE YOU HIMSELF AND GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH AND DESIRE TO LOVE AND FOLLOW HIM! IF YOU WAIT ON HIM IN SINCERE TRUST, JESUS WILL DO ALL THIS FOR YOU AND REVEAL HIMSELF SPIRITUALLY IN YOU!
... Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. ... Psalm 16:11
WELCOME TO THE 'ENTER INN' Please stay for a while...enter into His mighty Presence through simple faith and worship of the King of Kings! I pray that Jesus anoints these words to you and I hope that you fall under the conviction of Truth by the power of the Holy Spirit! Our focus above all, is Jesus and His word; living IN Him and allowing Jesus, that He be made manifest IN and through us. Another important emphasis here is the prophesied return of Jesus for us and many of the prophetic fulfillments that are happening right in front of our eyes, particularly the infamous prophecy about the end-time, aggressive and pervasive "falling away from the truth" (apostasy) of many who call themselves Christians.
Jesus and His Apostles and Prophets warned us intensely (St. Paul was in tears for three years because he foresaw not only what would happen right after his departure but also in this end time Acts 20:29) that the "falling away" of many from the Gospel, would happen right after he left and especially before Jesus would come to Rapture His bride, the true church: "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, (the Rapture & the Day of the Lord) except there come a falling away first, (ie: militant spiritual rebellion against the Truth of the Gospel = APOSTASY) and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition..."
(the rise of the Antichrist) II Thess. 2:3.
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron…” (I Timothy 4:1-2)
YOU CANNOT FULLY ABIDE IN CHRIST IF YOU HAVE BEEN DECEIVED AND YOU ARE FOLLOWING A 'DIFFERENT JESUS' THAN THE JESUS IN THE BIBLE:
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. Ephesians 4:14-16
The Lord also warned us through Paul (who agonized over what would happen to the church in the future) that upon his departure, "savage wolves" would descend upon the flock; savage wolves in sheeps clothing soon rose to dominate Christendom for over 1000 years until the Reformation (though the militant antichristers didn't dissappear) and now savage wolves dominate Protestant Christianity once again:
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves ("savage" wolves in other translations) enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. Acts 20:29-31
What most (if not all) of the following ministries represent, is a mixture or what I call 'Jesus plus' some man-made, vain and worldly philosophies, even 'doctrines of demons'. Some are actually preaching New Age, (thus occult) mysticism mixed with some version of the Gospel, which entirely negates any Gospel that they do preach. These apostate movements are actually preaching a 'different Jesus'- NOT the Jesus of the Bible!
“It is not Christ plus something else. Jesus is enough.” AW Tozer
Our Lord Jesus is longing to cleanse His temples (correction & repentance in us and in His church) most of which have been thoroughly polluted with all sorts of IDOLS: greed, worldly philosophies, marketing techniques, over-emphasized technology, New Age occult beliefs, worldly materialism, 'mind-over-Spirit' "positivism,"(made famous by Robert shuller, now Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, Joel "Happy talk" Osteen and many others) They demonize any counter message that is the least bit "negative," (TRUTHFUL truth convicts!) thereby destroying the possiblity of preaching against sin and calling people to repentance. They are mostly preaching 'a DIFFERENT gospel,' void of the most important realization and serious CONFESSION that it takes to become a TRUE Christian: repentance from sin...because that truth is just "too negative" to preach for them.
I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:6-8
The evangelical church is now being attacked from within by apostates that peddle Contemplative Spirituality = Catholic & Eastern mysticism, religious political correctness ("don't criticize other ministries" cowardice), various spiritual deceptions, seductions, perversions of doctrines and practices (doctrines of demons); the distortion, neglect, deletion or revision of scripture, most of which is extremely subtle to most spiritually shallow and superficial church goers. Instead of following Jesus and being obedient to HIS Word, the sheep are following popular men and their church formulas, marketing strategies and worldly philosophies. There are Pentecostal ministries that also preach boldly against that heresy, such as Dr. Joseph Chambers and Paw Creek Ministries.
The Apostle Peter is case in point as Peter had to be rebuked to his face by the Apostle Paul for pandering to and for favoring Jewish Christians and disfavoring gentile Christians. He had fallen into practicing the earliest type of 'Cultural Christianity,' discriminating against gentile Christians and was still bowing to Judaism and the law, as if only Jews could be saved. Ironically, God raised up the former Jew of all Jews, the Apostle Paul, to rebuke Peter to his face! Many modern "christian movements" are bowing to vain philosophies, psychology and "church" styles and formulas concocted by ungodly men, instead of fixing their spiritual eyes on Jesus and seeking Him! Many of them are fixated upon how God can bring them health, wealth and success or "grow their church" but are NOT first and foremost focused upon worshiping and following Jesus (in Spirit and in Truth) and if they find out that you question or disagree with them, they show you just how intolerant and cult-like they really are. The "Church Growth Movement," including the apostate, "Purpose Driven Church," puts the veritable cart before the horse as they idolize "church growth" and are willing to do just about anything to acheive it. Jesus called in Paul, the formerly hardcore Pharisee (Jew of Jews) to openly correct Peter, which proves that even highly positioned Christian leaders can become severely self-deceived and fall into dangerous doctrines and practices. My dear cousin is a modern day case in point concerning error but every "Faith Movement" ministry that I've seen and heard, is dangerously toxic and in gross error and behind the scenes, usually demands strict and ungodly submission to their "leaders," which they have revised as being biblical church "unity." This same kind of dictatorship and revision of biblical "unity" can be seen in the Purpose Driven Church because many of them are strictly following the mercenary, neo-Calvinist edicts of the eclectic apostate, Rick Warren. Most of these kinds of congregations just do as they're told and follow their apostate leaders like sheeple being led to slaughter because they see what happens to sheep who dare to question them. They label them as "dissenters" and marginalize them or evict them, in what I call: "The Purpose Driven Inquisition." I know of this quite personally and painfully.
This is a full Gospel filling station! Though this is NOT a Faith Movement ministry, nor is it "purpose driven." (we MUST love and have tolerance for ALL people, as true Christians do. It is out of love that I identify dangerous movements and apostasy, as God has commanded us!) We want to always be Spirit-led (as opposed to "purpose driven") at all times and are NOT allergic to God's precious Holy Spirit or His gifts! We are NOT cessastionist (the spiritual gifts did not yet "cease"). Without the gifts of God's Spirit, we can do nothing for Jesus BUT we don't accentuate, idolize or covet certain gifts. We DON'T preach that all should speak in tongues as the only sign that someone has been baptized into God's Spirit. We preach the unfettered biblical Truth. God leads and reveals His Truth to all of His true children that hear His voice, by the power of His Holy Spirit! It is only the Holy Spirit Who unlocks the true meaning of God's living Word! God commands us to be filled with God's Spirit to be of ANY service to Jesus but first you must be cleansed by the eternal power of the blood of the Lamb of God!
I am greatly inspired by many early evangelists (Finney and Moody in particular). I am praying and calling millions to repentance from numerous, popular polluted cisterns of heresy and am praying for a mighty spiritual revival before Jesus comes.
(Encouraging all believers to enter DAILY into and remain in the Lord's Presence as He implores us in His word, through continual worship, praise, prayer, study and meditation in His word!)

There has never been more intensive and wonderfully ominous signs that the Rapture and 'Day of the Lord' are IMMINENT...even at the door!
Please advance this video to around 4:00 to begin the meat of this message.)
GOD'S WORD PROMISES US THAT "IN HIS PRESENCE IS FULLNESS OF JOY"
(Ps 16:11) AND GOD COMMANDS HIS CHILDREN TO "ENTER HIS GATES WITH THANKSGIVING; GO INTO HIS COURTS WITH PRAISE. GIVE THANKS TO HIM AND PRAISE HIS NAME!" (Ps 100:4) THE SECRET OF DWELLING CONSTANTLY IN JESUS, IS TO REMAIN IN AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE, PRAISE AND WORSHIP "LET US THEREFORE CONTINUALLY OFFER A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE" Heb. 13:15
THERE IS ABUNDANT HOLY SPIRIT POWER TO KNOW JESUS THROUGH AND ACCORDING TO HIS WORD! HIS INDWELLING SPIRIT MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR HIS CHILDREN TO ABIDE IN JESUS, THROUGH SINCERE PRAISE AND WORSHIP, WHICH GOD WANTS TO BE OUR CONTINUAL ATTITUDE TOWARD HIM!
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Psalm 22.3
Though I take great joy in knowing that Jesus could come for us at any moment, his website, IS NOT primarily about the coming Rapture of the church but rather about the joyous rapture of knowing, loving and worshiping our loving Creator- God- King and personal Savior, Jesus our Messiah (in Spirit and in Truth) and being ready for His coming! Above all, this site is dedicated to accentuating the biblical fact that anyone who has been born again, has the supernatural privilege of abiding IN Jesus (living, dwelling spiritually IN Christ), which is at the heart of our relationship with Him. We are not married to or preoccupied with an eschatological dogma but rather with Jesus Christ Himself, our Bridegroom and Eternal King! Jesus desires for us to want Him to lead and lovingly dominate our daily lives, (known as a 'personal relationship with Christ' and the 'Lordship' of Christ in our lives). The ongoing pursuit and revelation of Jesus to us and in us, results in a deep and rich relationship with Him: Christ in us the hope of glory...we have this Treasure in earthen vessels. (Jesus is the Ultimate Treasure!) The Christian life is impossible to live in our own strength for "IT IS NO LONGER I WHO LIVE BUT CHRIST WHO LIVES IN ME (and through me!) Gal. 2:20. It is imperative that Jesus lives IN and through us or we turn into hollow facsimiles, merely going through religious motions! Jesus wants to live in and through us by the power of His Holy Spirit. When we abide IN Him, He abides in us! His desire for us is that we become one with Him and the Father! We find our Home in Him and He makes His home in us! JESUS IS OUR HOME NOW AND FOREVER!
He who dwells in the Secret Place (Jesus) of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1
The bride of Christ has been in a joyous and anticipatory mode of waiting and watching for 2 millennia, which causes us to be increasingly spiritually vigilant and desire to be pure and abandoned to Jesus. The 'church age' is nearly over on this earth as the true church is soon going to be 'snatched' (Raptured) from this earth. Those of us who believe in the imminency of Jesus coming for us at some point (which no man can know) in the immediate future, are merely being obedient in having the loving devotion to Jesus and His Word that all Christians are supposed to have and that so many modern "movements" scoff at. The doctrine of the Rapture is not synonomous with abiding in Christ but believing deeply that Jesus could come for us at any time, does cause us to want to seek Him passionately and to desperately know and abide IN Him while we patiently wait and grow in Him. Afterall, Jesus does eventually come for us all at our time of death, at which time our eternal spirits are 'snatched' or raptured away to be forever with Him! So whether by death or by Rapture, we get to suddenly and unexpectedly be with the One whom we love more than life here! My passion in sharing the joy of this truth, is that Jesus could be coming for us extremely soon, as all of the prophetic scriptures are being fulfilled before our eyes and the prophesied alignments of nations are in place like never before. Israel is God's time-piece and she is under threat of attack and liquidation by Iran and her evil neighbors like never before! A major war (the war of Gog and Magog) is imminent, which may be the begining of a series of prophetic events.
One of the major prophecies concerning the Rapture of the church, was proclaimed by the Apostle Paul in Thessalonians 2:3: Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come the falling away (of Christians from the Gospel= apostasy) first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. Paul warned us in Acts 20:29 about the "savage wolves" that would "enter in among [us] not sparing the flock!" This militant falling away from biblical truth, orthodoxy and spiritual devotion to our Jesus of the Bible, is now raging and we identify those movements that are preaching a dangerously compromised mixture. Today, the "savage, ravening" wolves, have put on sheep's clothing and are deceiving millions of Christians by mixing a watered down (dumbed down if you will) "gospel" with all sorts of man-made philosophies, twisting and revising long held interpretations among many of their vast compromises. Many are falling for false messages and even demonic "doctrines" that tickle their ears and make them feel "good" (even like a "god") about themselves, rather than being convicted by the Holy Spirit and worshiping the Lord in Spirit and in Truth. The mere existence of Israel for a generation and the apocalyptical threats against Israel, are the other major sign that the Lord's return cannot be far off.
Could Israel become a greater 'cup of trembling' to the nations around her, who demonically scheme to destroy her? These BIBLICALLY prophetic indicators PROCLAIM one thing: the Lord's return has never been more imminent! MARANATHA! COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS!
"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring" Luke 21:25
JESUS SAID THAT THERE WOULD BE 'SIGNS IN THE SKIES' BEFORE HE WOULD RETURN:
"'Blood-red' moons occurred on back-to-back years on the first day of both Passover and Sukkot seven times in 2000 years, with the eighth coming in 2014 and 2015....Three of these lunar occurrences were connected to 1492 (the Spanish Inquisition), 1948 (statehood for Israel and the War of Independence), and 1967 (the Six-Day War) — some of the most significant times in Jewish history...The significance of February 21, 2008's 'blood-red' moon .... The Temple Mount's 'blood-red' moon connection....The total solar eclipses of 2008, 2009 and 2010 fall on the 1st of Av....The Month of Av: Disaster and consolation....21 days of mourning: 17 Tammuz to 9th of Av....The 9th of Av’s history....The dates of the 9th of Av from 2008-2015....A chart of the 2014 and 2015 four 'blood-red' moons and two solar eclipses.."
Koenig's World Watch Daily an excellent Christian news site!
The Bible exhorts us to be spiritually prepared and looking joyously for His return and to 'love His appearing,' which is our 'BLESSED HOPE'! Most modern "christian movements" scoff at this important doctrine and are attempting to usher in the physical kingdom of God on earth themselves (empire building). The Bible also commands us to explain why we believe what we believe and to exhort and comfort others with the truth of the promise of His coming for us. Our ministry is founded upon God's Word, and these scriptures reveal where our passion for Jesus' impending Rapture comes from:
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. I Thessalonians 4:15-18
Another major sign that Jesus is coming soon, is that many who call themselves born-again Christians, are offended by the true Gospel and are offended by Bible prophecy and the prophetic meaning of these verses [their hearts are not watching for Jesus nor spiritually discerning as to the imminency of the Lord's return; blind to the current numerous signs of His coming] - many have fallen away from the basic Truth of the Gospel or choose to 'scoff' at such deep, biblical beliefs. We have articles that explore errant popular movements that the Apostle Paul prophesied would happen [a militant 'falling away from the Truth' = apostasy] before Jesus comes for us.
Looking for that Blessed Hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. Titus 2:13-15
And now, little children, ABIDE IN HIM, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. 1 John 2:28
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the Presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming? I Thessalonians 2:19
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory. Colossians 3:4
And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. 2 Thessalonians 3:5
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing. II Timothy 4:8
My passion is to let everyone know that anyone who desires to enter into the deepest and most profound and joyous relationship with God, is invited to ENTER INN to the wonder and glory of abiding/ dwelling/ living in Jesus Christ, through rapturous praise and worship! I am not talking about a mere style or form of worship but rather THE divinely ordained way of life, (in constant fellowship and spiritual intimacy with Jesus) based upon the Truth of God's holy Word... the blessed words of our Savior!
With greatest urgency, we proclaim:
JESUS IS COMING SOON! (although NO ONE knows the day, the hour, the month, let alone the year!)
Are you born again and filled with His Spirit?
“The New Testament example of the Christian experience is that of a personal, passionate devotion to the Person of Jesus Christ. Every other kind of so-called Christian experience is detached from the Person of Jesus. There is no regeneration - no being born again into the kingdom in which Christ lives and reigns supreme. There is only the idea that He is our pattern. In the New Testament Jesus Christ is the Savior long before He is the pattern. Today He is being portrayed as the figurehead of a religion- a mere example. He is that but He is infinitely more. He is salvation itself; He is the Gospel of God!” Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest (devotional for 11/29)
Lord, Thou hast been our Dwelling Place IN ALL GENERATIONS...He that dwelleth in the SECRET PLACE (JESUS) of the Most High, shall abide (live) under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalms 90:1, 91:1
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him...In Whom you are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Ephesians 1:10, 2:22
How do we enter into, abide, dwell in, walk in Jesus our Holy Ark, Savior, Home and Dwelling Place?
1. Be born again by repenting of your sins (rejecting and ending your ungodly lifestyle) and receiving Jesus as your Lord and Savior as revealed in the scriptures.
2. Talk to Him alot- PRAY unceasingly- Pursue Jesus through Faith- put your complete trust in Him and His Word. Seek ye first the Kingdom. Secret: Jesus is the Kingdom! Belive in and put faith in His promises!
3. Be filled with the Spirit- you've got to wait on God and spend time before Him in prayer for this- even seek out Spirit-filled people.
4. Love, worship and adore your Heavenly Father: Jesus promises to dwell in us through the ultimate act of Faith: our sincere praise and worship! (You won't even want to do this unless you have been filled with His Holy Spirit)
But Thou art holy, O Thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Psalm 22:3
Yes, through Jesus, we have inherited all of the promises given to Israel. God abides in us mightily, when we praise, worship and adore Him. We are meant to be in and remain in, a loving preoccupation of worship of Jesus in all that we do! The Spirit of praise and worship is the same Spirit who fills us with God's Holy Presence and in Whom we must walk (walk in the Spirit Galatians 5:16) to be continually walk with and know God!
I will bless the LORD at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Psalm 34:1
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief (Jesus) would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Matthew 24:37-44
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, (they also accepted and practiced sodomy, which is increasing in our time as well) they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed." Luke 17:26-30
"For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him." I Thessalonians 5:4,9-10
"For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage each other with these words."
I Thessalonians 4:16-18
It is not a coincidence that hundreds of ministries (though a minority) believe and interpret the majority of scriptures in exactly the same way concerning Jesus coming for His church. The Contender Ministry has a succinct and excellent article about the Rapture and is just one of those ministries with which I am in complete agreement concerning the imminent Rapture of the church.
This is not an advocacy to some high octane, extra-Biblical, mystical experience. This is a call to repent of all ritual and religiously based (man-made) ideas, and of a love that has grown cold (or has never existed in you). We do so much in the name of Jesus, but what Jesus really wants is us! "To obey [HIM] is better than [religious] sacrifice."
______________________________________________
Our faith in Jesus does not depend upon relics like the Shroud of Turin but this artifact has always intrigued me and bolstered my faith in Jesus. It certainly contains the detailed image of a man who was beaten nearly to death and then crucified in the same manner and with the same wounds that Jesus suffered. I think that it is highly probable that it is the burial cloth of Jesus and that science has proven even more details about this clothe that could not have been fabricated. Certainly, we must not worship or venerate any object but this artifact is the closest thing to the proof of Jesus' suffering, crucifixion and of an inexplicable burst of radiation that came from within the body that turned that cloth into a photographic negative! It has been proven to have come from the Jerusalem area and from the time of Christ. These "coincidences" add up to one thing: the supernatural. This very well could be what Jesus' face looked like:
Merely "believing" that Jesus Christ existed and that there might be something inspired about His Word, doesn't make you a Christian and is NOT the same as putting your FAITH (TRUSTING) IN CHRIST for salvation! Knowing Jesus, trusting Him completely, walking with Him, and being FILLED with His Spirit are not options for born-again Christians but rather are the Lord's commands for ALL obedient Christians! Seek Jesus NOW with all abandon, repent of your sins, for the time is much later than you think! THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN [JESUS] IS AT HAND!
MEET AND RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST
If you haven't already done so, it is time for those who have ears to hear this message, to ENTER SPIRITUALLY INTO JESUS; GOD'S ETERNAL AND GLORIOUS ARK OF SALVATION!
How do you receive or 'accept' Jesus?
Turn to Jesus in faith (He will give you the faith if you desire to know and receive Him, sincerely tell Him that you want and need Him (as you would to a loving Father), seek Him with all of your heart (read His Word, TRUST HIM and wait upon Him), confess your sins to Him and turn away from them, invite Jesus to take over your life. Jesus WILL hear your prayer and see the true desire of your heart. He will spiritually come into you and you will know His mighty Presence is within you!
IS GOD ALMIGHTY... JESUS OUR SAVIOR, ABOUT TO COME FOR HIS BRIDE?
__________________________________________
Noah's Ark, was part of a Biblical pattern, a type and a foreshadowing of our ultimate vessel of salvation, Jesus Christ. Just as it became clear to Noah that it was time to enter into the ark in order to save his family and preserve the righteous remnant of humanity, Jesus wants us to enter into (spiritually) and abide IN HIM! Jesus is our Heavenly Father's ultimate Vessel of Salvation, for ALL who would receive Him and enter into Him! The 'rain' has already begun to fall people... Jesus our Ark is coming extremely soon and soon the door will close and only the faithful will be inside (IN CHRIST)! Jesus is inviting you to enter into intimate spiritual fellowship with Him by confessing and repenting of your sins and putting your FAITH IN HIM for salvation and for knowing and abiding IN JESUS NOW. PURSUE JESUS NOW BEFORE HE RAPTURES HIS CHURCH AND YOU WILL NOT SUFFER THE COMING HELL ON EARTH KNOWN AS THE TRIBULATION! Only those who have been born-again; know and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, will soon be caught up (Raptured) to be with Jesus.
Though it is impossible for us to set dates or to know the hour or the day of the Rapture of the church, there are Biblical prophecies being fulfilled (or about to be) and prophetic, biblical patterns that have led many prophecy teachers to believe that His return is extremely imminent, which is why we are even more motivated to tell others about Jesus - even in the face of growing persecution and hatred towards born-again Christians.
We are dedicated to glorifying Jesus Christ and spreading the joy of knowing Him, following Him, abiding in Him, and waiting patiently, longingly and expectantly for Him! We exhort all believers to seek Jesus desperately and be abandoned to Him in praise and adoration! Jesus wants us to be occupied and focused upon Him spiritually at all times. Whether Jesus comes during our lifetime or not is irrelevant to our need to dwell, wait upon and hope IN Christ alone! It is not a primary hope or preoccupation with the Rapture (or any other eschatology) or any other focus on prophecy that will save us or make us closer to Jesus. Our primary hope in every way must be in Jesus, our Blessed Hope in every circumstance and era- the only Hope for all of humanity! Our belief in His coming for us, emanates from our love and devotion to Him. Believers are commanded by Jesus to abide IN Him! That means that as born-again believers, we have the privilege to come before Him and to DWELL in His Presence (TO LIVE IN JESUS AND BE ALIVE IN HIM!) is not some "looney charismatic notion"... this is His promise and desire for us. It is otherwise known as devotion and 'worship.' Worship Jesus daily and abide IN Him... this is His will for all who have been born again. IF YOU PRESS IN BY FAITH SPIRITUALLY INTO JESUS, HE WILL ANSWER YOUR PRAYER AND FILL YOU WITH HIS HOLY SPIRIT BUT YOU MUST ABANDON YOURSELF TO HIM AND WAIT UPON, AND PATIENTLY EXPECT HIS ANSWER!
This website is written to exhort and to explain biblically why, and how we must abide IN Him if we are to be available and obedient to Jesus.
The time is short. We are in the last of the last days as indicated by numerous prophetic fulfillments. Though we don't know the day or the hour, Jesus said that we would know the season of His coming. Jesus is calling His bride to be lovingly abandoned to Him. He is coming for a pure and spotless bride who is filled with His very Essence... His Holy Ghost!
Whether your theological belief is in a "pre", "post", or "mid" -Tribulational doctrine, the scripture is perfectly clear concerning the Lord's desire for us to be expectantly waiting for Him and dwelling in His Presence. The word is crystal clear that Jesus desires us to be joyously 'looking up' spiritually to Him at all times. The abundance of scriptures and proper interpretation of them indicates that Jesus will come for us before the Great Tribulation but we should not be dogmatically argumentative about this belief. However, I will spread the joy of knowing, trusting in, waiting upon, praising and adoring Jesus. Abiding and walking IN Him is what makes us ready for His coming! Jesus calls us to oneness in Himself!
JESUS IS ABBA'S ARK! JESUS IS OUR PERFECT DWELLING PLACE!
Abba = our loving, Heavenly Father
Ark = Holy, Biblical rescue Vessel, through which (or Whom) God reveals His intent, purpose, plan & Presence to mankind)
All born-again Christians have the privilege, and are COMMANDED in His Word to ABIDE In JESUS our Dwelling Place:
...LET US GO INTO HIS TABERNACLE; (Jesus is our living Tabernacle!) LET US WORSHIP AT HIS FOOTSTOOL. ARISE, O LORD, TO YOUR RESTING-PLACE, YOU AND THE ARK (JESUS) OF YOUR STRENGTH. LET YOUR PRIESTS (true disciples) BE CLOTHED WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND LET YOUR SAINTS SHOUT FOR JOY. Psalm 132:7-9
LORD, THOU HAST BEEN OUR DWELLING PLACE IN ALL GENERATIONS Psalm 90:1
He who dwells IN the Secret Place (Jesus) of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Ps. 91:1
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I WILL COME INTO HIM and dine with him, and he with Me. Rev. 3:20
Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! AND THE KING OF GLORY SHALL COME IN[TO YOU]. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of Hosts, He is the King of Glory. Psalm 24:9,10
Abide IN Me, and I IN you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide IN the Vine; no more can you, except you abide IN Me... If you abide IN Me, and My words abide IN you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15: 4, 7
THAT THEY ALL MAY BE ONE; AS THOU FATHER, ART IN ME AND I IN THEE, THAT THEY ALSO MAY BE ONE IN US... I IN THEM, AND THOU IN ME THAT THEY MAY BE PERFECT AND IN ONE... John 17: 21,23
JESUS is the Place of safety from the rising "flood" of evil that has been rising upon mankind in these last days. Whosoever will call upon JESUS, receive, and follow Him now, will escape the approaching darkness which is prophesied in the Bible as the 'Great Tribulation'; also synonymous in the Bible as the 'Time of Jacob's Trouble'. The only escape from this present and intensifying darkness is to trust completely and solely IN Christ; to be lovingly abandoned to Him, and to ABIDE spiritually IN Him alone (dwell, make our Home within). Jesus is not only our future Deliverer, Jesus is our Holy Ark NOW! Jesus is our spiritual Home and Anchor NOW! There is great joy (rapture) for those who have given themselves completely to Jesus Christ. The ONLY way to truly be His- is to abide IN Him as Jesus commands:
ABIDE IN ME, and I IN you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide IN the Vine; no more can you, except you ABIDE IN ME... If you abide IN Me, and My words abide IN you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15:4, 7
Jesus' ultimate will for us is to be one with Him and the Father:
"That they all may be one; as thou, Father art in Me, and I IN Thee, that they also may be one IN Us: that the world may believe that Thou sent Me...I IN them, and Thou IN Me, that they may be made perfect in one... John 17:21, 23
Jesus is THE ONLY Way to God:
"I Am THE Way, THE Truth, and THE Life: no man comes to the Father, but by Me." John 14:6
We have the privilege of dwelling spiritually IN the Great Alpha and Omega- The Beginning and the End of all things. Jesus IS God:
"... Christ, IN WHOM are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge... As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so WALK IN HIM, rooted and BUILT UP IN HIM and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving... For IN HIM dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and YOU ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, who is the head of all principality and power." (Col. 2:3,6,7,9,10)
"And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is True, and we are IN HIM that is True, even His Son Jesus Christ..." 1 John 5:20
"But by HIS doing you are IN Christ Jesus who became to us wisdom from God; and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption." 1 Cor. 1:30
"IF YOU ABIDE IN ME AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, YOU WILL ASK WHAT YOU DESIRE AND IT SHALL BE DONE FOR YOU." (John 15:7)
The fourfold calling of this ministry:
1. To invite everyone to receive Jesus as Savior and Lord and to exhort all born again believers to enter into the wonderful depths and heights of Jesus; to fix our eyes on Him and abide in Him as His Word instructs us. Jesus is our Father's SECRET DWELLING PLACE for us...now and forevermore!
2. To exhort the Bride to be joyously ready, waiting, and watching for His return, as His word instructs us! Jesus is coming soon for His Bride! LIFT UP YOUR HEADS, YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH!
"THE SPIRIT AND THE BRIDE SAY, COME...AMEN. EVEN SO, COME, LORD JESUS. (Rev. 22:17)
"...SURELY I COME QUICKLY" (Rev. 22:12,20).
"LOOKING FOR THAT BLESSED HOPE, AND THE GLORIOUS APPEARING OF...OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST (Titus 2:13).
"...UNTO THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM SHALL HE APPEAR THE SECOND TIME..." (Heb.9:28)
3. To expose the dangerous apostasy now at work in the world and in most of the church. Exhorting believers to CONTEND EARNESTLY FOR THE FAITH and to reject and expose the counterfeit!
"NOW THE SPIRIT EXPRESSLY SAYS THAT IN THE LATTER TIMES, SOME WILL DEPART FROM THE FAITH, GIVING HEED TO DECEIVING SPIRITS AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS, SPEAKING LIES IN HYPOCRISY, HAVING THEIR OWN CONSCIENCE SEARED WITH A HOT IRON..." (1 Tim. 4: 1-3)
"PREACH THE WORD! BE READY IN SEASON AND OUT OF SEASON. CONVINCE, REBUKE, and EXHORT, WITH ALL LONGSUFFERING AND TEACHING. FOR THE TIME WILL COME WHEN THEY WILL NOT ENDURE SOUND DOCTRINE, BUT ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN DESIRES, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ITCHING EARS, THEY WILL HEAP UP FOR THEMSELVES TEACHERS; AND THEY WILL TURN THEIR EARS AWAY FROM THE TRUTH, AND BE TURNED ASIDE TO FABLES..." (2 Tim. 4:1-4)
4. The fourth major concentration focuses on Jesus as He was revealed as The ANGEL OF THE LORD in the Old Testament. This is also an online book and various articles written by scholars. _______________________________________
The greatest truth about Noah's Ark is that it is a prophetic picture of how Jesus will one day come to evacuate (Rapture) His Bride from this old world, just before the "floodwaters" begin to flood the whole world with God's judgment (the Great Tribulation). JESUS IS OUR ARK! God will remove His remnant!
"But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." Matthew 24:37-44
JESUS IS COMING SOON TO SNATCH (RAPTURE) ALL BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS OFF THE FACE OF THE PLANET...
THE PROMISE OF THE LORD'S COMING FOR US (THE RAPTURE) ORIGINATES IN THE BIBLE AND WAS TAUGHT BY EARLY CHURCH FATHERS AS SEPARATE FROM HIS SECOND COMING IN POWER AND GLORY, "WITH HIS SAINTS" (us)
THE HOUR IS LATE AND WE MAY SOON HEAR OUR SAVIOR'S VOICE TRUMPET FORTH FOR US...
THE FALLING AWAY (APOSTASY) FROM BIBLICAL TRUTH AND HOLINESS IN THE CHURCH IS RAMPANT...
IT IS TIME TO KNOW, LOVE AND ABIDE IN JESUS...
IS YOUR VESSEL FULL OF THE OIL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?
REMEMBER ALSO THE PARABLE OF THE TEN VIRGINS IN MATTHEW 25...
FIVE OF THOSE VIRGINS WERE READY TO MEET THE BRIDEGROOM...
AND FIVE WERE LEFT BEHIND...
THE INVITATION IS TO ALL!
DON'T BE LEFT BEHIND!
"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore, comfort one another with these words." 1 Thess. 4:16-18
HE THAT DWELLETH IN THE SECRET PLACE (JESUS) OF THE MOST HIGH SHALL ABIDE UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY. (Psalm 91:1)
ABIDE IN ME AND I IN YOU...IF YOU ABIDE IN ME, AND I ABIDE IN YOU, YOU SHALL ASK WHAT YOU WILL, AND IT SHALL BE DONE UNTO YOU. (John 15:4,7)
LORD, THOU HAST BEEN OUR DWELLING PLACE IN ALL GENERATIONS. (Psalm 90:1)
...LET US GO INTO HIS TABERNACLE; (Jesus is our living Tabernacle!) LET US WORSHIP AT HIS FOOTSTOOL. ARISE, O LORD, TO YOUR RESTING-PLACE, YOU AND THE ARK (JESUS) OF YOUR STRENGTH. LET YOUR PRIESTS (true disciples) BE CLOTHED WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND LET YOUR SAINTS SHOUT FOR JOY. (Psalm 132:7-9)
Let us therefore COME BOLDLY TO THE THRONE OF GRACE, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)

"Tis Christ in us that will lift us up--He is the Light--tis only those that are alive in Him that will be caught up to meet HIM in the air...but the spiritual temple must and shall be reared, and the fullness of Christ be poured into His Body, and then we shall be caught up to meet Him...Oh the glorious temple which is now about to be reared, the Bride adorned for her Husband; and Oh what a Holy, Holy Bride she must be, to be prepared for such a glorious Bridegroom...I felt that the revelation of Jesus Christ had yet to be opened up--IT IS NOT KNOWLEDGE ABOUT GOD THAT IT CONTAINS, BUT IT IS AN ENTERING INTO GOD"
(from a prophetic vision of Margaret MacDonald circa 1830's)
This prophetic vision has been confirmed in my heart; THERE IS A MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SIMPLY KNOWING ABOUT GOD, AND TRULY KNOWING AND ABIDING IN HIM! SIMPLE "BELIEF" IS NOT ENOUGH! "Even the demons BELIEVE and tremble." (James 2:19) True followers of Jesus Christ all have the privilege of ENTERING INTO HIS GLORIOUS PRESENCE...INTO CHRIST HIMSELF!
"This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil" Hebrews 6:19

ENTER HIS GATES WITH THANKSGIVING IN YOUR HEART...
ENTER HIS COURTS WITH PRAISE...

JESUS LONGS FOR WORSHIPERS WHO WILL WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH!
WE HAVE THE SACRED PRIVILEGE AS CHRISTIANS TO ENTER INTO THE VERY HOLY OF HOLIES... WE ARE COMMANDED BY JESUS TO DWELL (ABIDE) IN HIM... THAT APART FROM HIM, WE CAN DO NOTHING!
THE LORD IS COMING SOON TO LITERALLY/ PHYSICALLY SNATCH (RAPTURE) HIS BRIDE OFF THE FACE OF THIS EARTH, BUT WE ALREADY HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO ENTER INTO JESUS SPIRITUALLY EVERYDAY! WE MUST ABIDE IN JESUS NOW SO THAT HE CAN FULLY ABIDE IN US! JESUS LONGS FOR YOUR LOVE AND ADORATION!
JESUS IS THE SECRET DWELLING PLACE (Ark) WHOM OUR HEAVENLY FATHER HAS PREPARED FOR US TO ENTER INTO AND ABIDE!

This site is dedicated to exhorting all who receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, to enter into the deepest possible fellowship with Him. Bible prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes, which demands that we all enter into loving, intimate relationship with Jesus. The Bible and God's Spirit, reveals how this is possible.
In God's supreme mercy and love, He sent us Jesus His Son. Jesus is THE embodiment of God's WORD (message) to mankind, and God's Provision to restore us to Himself.

THAT THEY ALL MAY BE ONE; AS THOU FATHER, ART IN ME AND I IN THEE, THAT THEY ALSO MAY BE ONE IN US... I IN THEM, AND THOU IN ME THAT THEY MAY BE PERFECT AND IN ONE... (John 17: 21,23)
This is an invitation for ALL to enter into God's Gospel Ship (Abba's Ark) ...into the loving arms of Jesus Christ, to become one with Him. He calls us all to COME UNTO ME, ALL YOU WHO LABOR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. (Matt. 11:28) Jesus Himself, IS that Place of Rest!
There are only two types of people on this earth, those who are desperate for Jesus, and those who don't know that they are desperate for Jesus! Those who seek to know and worship Him in Spirit and in truth will find Him:
"ASK, AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU; SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND; KNOCK, AND IT SHALL BE OPENED UNTO YOU; FOR EVERYONE THAT ASKS RECEIVES; AND HE THAT SEEKS FINDS; AND TO HIM THAT KNOCKS IT SHALL BE OPENED." (Matt. 7:7,8)
JESUS is the Glory of God and He desires to have intimate fellowship with and take up residence IN YOU!
BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM GAVE HE THE POWER TO BECOME SONS OF GOD... ( John 1:12)
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. 1 John 3:1-3
If you've never invited Jesus into your life nor repented of your sins, turn to Jesus NOW, and ask Him to forgive you of ALL of your sins and take up residence in you! Jesus knows about ALL of your secret sins and He still loves you! He doesn't accept your sin, but He does want you, no matter what you've done! Nothing is hidden to Jesus. His loving kindness and mercy is available to the worst of sinners, if you repent!
If you invited Him in, you now have the privilege of abiding IN Christ. Jesus IS our Peace, and our promised SECRET Dwelling Place:
"... Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge... As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so WALK IN HIM, rooted and BUILT UP IN HIM and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving... For IN HIM dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and YOU ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, who is the head of all principality and power."
(Col. 2:3,6,7,9,10)
