The Call to War is a Call to Repentance…
When
I came back to the Lord a few years ago he told me that the mission he had for
me was not going to be a pleasant one and in fact it would be a very lonely one.
However, we are living in dangerous times because the days are getting shorter and
our Father’s judgment is about to fall on the world and his Church. If we are
where we should be in our relationship with the Lord then we should know what days
we are living in… The End Days…
Please
read this passage especially the last verse:
Matthew
24:3-31 “And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and
his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And
Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, there
shall not be left here one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down.
And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately,
saying, Tell us, when shall these things be, and what shall be the sign of thy
coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them,
Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name,
saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and
rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to
pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes,
in divers’ places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they
deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of
all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall
betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall
rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of
many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be
saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a
witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. When ye therefore shall
see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in
the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand). Then let them which be in
Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down
to take anything out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return
back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them
that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the
winter, neither on the Sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such
as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall
be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved:
but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Then if any man shall say unto you,
Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false
Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch
that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have
told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the
desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For
as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall
also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcass is, there
will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of
those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be
shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then
shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man
coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send
his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his
elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other”.
Notice that Jesus sends his angels
AFTER “the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the
stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heaven shall be shaken”. Is
this anywhere else in the Word?
Joel 2:31 “The sun shall be turned
into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of
the Lord come. And it shall come to pass, that
whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion
and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the
remnant whom the Lord shall call”.
Revelation 6:9-17 “And when he had
opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain
for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with
a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and
avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given
unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet
for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that
should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled, and I beheld when he had
opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun
became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars
of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs,
when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when
it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their
places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the
chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid
themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the
mountains and rocks, fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth
on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath
is come; and who shall be able to stand?”
As we see there is going to be a whole lot of Christians
killed and destruction before we are taken out, so we need to understand the
times we are in. We see that in Revelation it talked about Christians “DYING”
before the sun is darkened and it said the same thing in Matthew 24. It also
speaks of Christians being betrayed, but it doesn’t say who will betray us. I
believe it will be family members as well as those “Christians” who fall away
to serve the Beast and his system. Many people are thinking right now that “We don’t
know when he is coming because he is coming as a thief in the night”, which is
only scripturally a half true.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-9 “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I
write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so
cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then
sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and
they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day
should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the
children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us
not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep
(do) sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But
let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and
love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to
wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ”.
You can see
from this verse we DO know the seasons and times/signs of his return, and if
you read Matthew 24, Joel 2, and Revelation 6 then you KNOW we are in those
days. So why is this important? Because the WORLD NEEDS YOU!!!!!!!! Did you
also notice that HIS children are not THOSE who will be overtaken as a THIEF in
the night? That is why he tells US not to sleep but to WATCH and be VIGILANT!
John 4:35 “Say not ye, There are yet four
months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and
look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest”
Since we
are in those days that many say they have waited for then why are people still
living as if they will be here forever? If you look around America you do NOT
see the urgency of the days we are living in. So I must ask now, why not?
Matthew
24:11-12 “And many false
prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound,
the love of many shall wax cold”
2 Peter 2:1-3
“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be
false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even
denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth
shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words
make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and
their damnation slumbers not”
2 Timothy 3:
1-6 “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men
shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection,
trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are
good, Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of
God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn
away.
For of this sort are they which creep
into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with diver’s
lusts”
2 Timothy
4:1-3 “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; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath
created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the
truth”
These four
verses alone paint a picture that many do not want to confront, because if they
do then they will have to look at themselves honestly as to where they are. We
are clearly told to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to
be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
False Teachers & Prophets
2 Timothy 3:
1-6 “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men
shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection,
truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are
good, Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of
God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn
away.
For of this sort are they which creep
into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with
diver’s lusts”
2 Timothy
4:1-3 “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; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath
created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the
truth”
Jesus first warned us in
Matthew 24:24 of “False Christs and False Prophets” because he knew these
people would be have the ability to sway people to them and that if it were
possible they could deceive even the very elect which we are. Jesus also said
in Matthew 24:11-12 that they would deceive many (church goers & the
world), and because of iniquity the love of many will wax cold (the Church).
This is something I see so prevalent in the American Church, for as I stated I
see hardly any urgency in any Pastors messages and I see so many professing
Christians living such “carnal lives”. In his letter to the Church of Ephesus
Jesus writes this “I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy
patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried
them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And
hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast labored, and hast
not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left
thy first love, Remember therefore from
whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come
unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except
thou repent. (Revelation 2:2-4). Jesus knew that in the
last days many would begin to fall away, because told us this in 2 Thessalonians
2:3 “Let no man deceive you by any
means: for that day shall not come, except there
come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition”. We can also see there that we are to know the times and signs of
our Lord’s return, and we are not left in the dark. It clearly says that
day shall not come until there is a falling away and the man of sin is
revealed. So answer this yourself, can sinners fall away?
In closing it is time to stop
playing the old church game of going to church on Sunday and going home and
doing whatever we want the rest of the week. I will say this, God is going to
be vomiting a lot of people out of his mouth on Judgment Day and I do not want
to be one of them, and I do not want anyone I love to be one of them either so
it is time to WAKE UP!!!
