Center of God’s Will?

Most often when Believers think of being in the center of “God’s will” we think of a picturesque and ideal scenario playing out with God using us to preach the gospel, minister in Christian music, feed the hungry, comfort the sick or any number of other ministry related endeavors.

But the question is…

Is that all there is to being in “God’s will”?

For individuals to reside in the middle of “God’s will” does not always mean we are moving in ministry, or a loving family life or even a singular walk with God.

When thinking about “God’s will,” consider how the nation of Israel actually existed in the middle of “God’s will” during their 400 year sojourn with the Egyptians beginning with the time of Joseph and extending through the days of the Israeli Exodus.

(On that note: check out this Docu/movie http://patternsofevidence.com/ which sets straight some of the erroneous data which has been circulating/perpetrated in promoting the idea Israel’s exodus from Egypt was merely or mostly a grand metaphor.)  Not a real exodus; poppycock!

At first the Israelites may have been welcomed, befriended or even nurtured, but somewhere in that 400 plus year sojourn the Israelites became the subpopulation enslaved by the Egyptians in accordance with “God’s will”.

Check out this passage from Genesis 15: 13-16

Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years. And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions. Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”

God certainly is impressive, isn’t He?

Those Israelites who lived during that period of slavery we right in the middle of God’s will. It was all in God’s plan to create a scenario where the Jews would need a Deliverer.  You know, Moses. 

How many Israelites lived extremely difficult lives while they were perfectly in the center of God’s plans for the Israelites? True answer… many, many and many!

Now, let’s look to King David. Here is a person who spent many challenging years even while living most of his life following God.  Scripture says he was a man after God’s own heart.

And afterward they asked for a king; so God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will. (Acts 13:21-22 NKJV)

David spent a great deal of time being pursued by King Saul. I’m not sure of the exact timeline but it was substantial.  Do you think the future King David felt he was being blessed for walking in “God’s will”?  Off and on I’d imagine, he was not sure but walked in faith.

 

 

And let us not forget the Apostle Paul. Wow, that man’s life was riddled with challenges as he brought the salvation message to the Gentiles.  Paul said in 2 Corinthians 11:23-29:

I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often. From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness— besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches. Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation? (NKJV)

Lastly I’ll bring up the Jews of the Holocaust of WWII. What needs to be said there is this…

WARNING — WARNING — WARNING

The following video contains “Graphic Material!”

Watch at your own risk!

WARNING — WARNING — WARNING

The Holocaust of WWII was the prophetic fulfillment of Jacob’s Trouble written about in Jeremiah 30:1-24. There is no doubt!  Every element was fulfilled in gruesome detail and is still being fulfilled at this very moment. For a more detailed explanation of Jacob’s Trouble and its fulfillment check out, “This Side of the Whirlwind, The Coming Apocalypse,” chapters 12 and 14.  Both sections provide enough information and evidence to confirm that the Holocaust was Jacob’s Trouble.  By the way, the prophecy will continue its fulfillment into the Millennial Reign.

Okay, here is why I bring up these not so friendly topics.

We are living in the Latter Days. This is not in question.  Israel has been/is repeatedly prophesied to reemerge as a sovereign state on the lands of their forefathers and with its religious identity intact following Jacob’s Trouble.  Bingo!  This is what has happened.

“We know” from prophecies fulfilled that we are in the Latter Days and during the Great Consummation nearly two-thirds of all Christians will be killed or martyred.

“We know” the Parable of the Fig Tree found in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 takes place during the Latter Days when Israel is reborn as a nation and begins to grow into the nation it has and is becoming today.

 

“We know” the generation of the Latter Days will usher in the fulfillment of the last half of the Seventieth Week of the Seventy Weeks of Daniel prophecy found in Daniel 9:24-27.

“We know” the Great Tribulation or more appropriately the Great Consummation will span 3½ years and bring to fulfillment the Second half of Christ’s Covenant and the separation and Judgment portions of the covenant.  Read the book, “This Side of the Whirlwind, The Coming Apocalypse” for more details.

“We know” from the Parable of the Fig Tree that the Latter Days generation as a whole cannot die off before all End Times prophecies have been completed and Christ returns for the Body of Christ.

“We know” the Mark of the Beast already exists and is being deployed throughout this world.  How long before it becomes mandatory only God knows.

I could go on and on with the things “We know” are taking place and fulfilling prophecies and bringing the Time of the Gentiles or Church Age to its close.

So we are in the Latter Days and about to face global persecution of Christians everywhere.

We are about to be forced to “Receive or Reject” the Mark of the Beast one way or another.

Soon enough the Beast/Anti-Christ will launch a global war on Christianity and the Jews.

When “The Mark” is in full swing Christians “will not” be able to purchase anything for survival or otherwise, period!

The system will change in such a way as to exclude anyone without “The Mark.”

 

And I tell you this… These things will happen while we are living in the middle, the center of God’s awesome and deliberate WILL.

Why?  Because we are living during the completion or fulfillment of Christ’s Covenant found in Daniel 9:24-27.

This is why the scripture tells us repeatedly, more than 10 times:

THEY THAT OVERCOME TO THE END SHALL BE SAVED!

So hang in there, trust God’s plan.  It will get tough but God has a reason for everything we must enjoy and endure.

Refuse any technology which even resembles the idea of the Mark of the Beast.

Remain faithful in the Lord and prepare to take flight to some wilderness, forested weigh-station, bugout point where you can live out as many days here on earth serving our God and fellow Believers as possible.

Remain faithful while you prepare for your wilderness journey.

Hey, if Moses and his people could do it without all the tech and knowledge we have today it should be a breeze for us modern Christians.

Hang in there and trust the Lord knows what He is doing and why!

Brother in Christ, preparing, Steve

Chronology for the Book of Revelation

Have you ever wondered about the chronological time-stamps for the different chapters of Revelation?

For example, when does Revelation chapter 5 take place in God’s cosmic plan for the End of Days?

And what about the opening of the Six Seals as found in Revelation chapter 6? When will the First Seal be opened or has it already taken place?

When do the events in these confusing chapters actually take place?

Want to know? Then join me in: The Outer Limits!

Are You a Scoffer?

Do We Scoff at the Coming of the Lord?

“TODAY” are we the scoffers?

Knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.”  (2 Peter 3:3-4 NKJV)

Did you know… nearly every End Times prophecy except the Temple reconstruction and the big outing of “The Beast” has come to pass?

The Great Consummation 4

Time is shorter than ever before. When the Great Consummation hits Salvation will no longer be accessible to anyone not currently saved.  I’ll explain later.   It is however time to commit to God’s Word; compel ourselves to serve our fellow Believers (you know, our family in Christ) and set our jaws, becoming determined to endure the trials of the Tribulation Period to the end of our days, whether that end is the result of our death or flight in the skies with Jesus Christ at His second coming, you know, the Rapture. We need to know the event is real and that until it is over we can make a difference in the lives of many Christians.  And yet… we must personally prepare for the Tribulation Period to come!  Remember, the Tribulation Period is not the Wrath of God.  We need to sink our teeth into His will for our lives and the lives of our family and friends and prepare for the coming storm.

The Great Consummation 3

Though I have covered this in previous blogs I’ll write it again.  The Mark of the Beast currently exists and is being implemented throughout the world.  Last count, the bio-implants number above 50,000 worldwide.  Grant it, they are not all financially based at this time but soon enough financial functionality will be a standard application.

As the Mark of the Beast or “The Mark” shifts from an optional product to a mandatory government requirement, the tone will significantly change regarding Christians and Christian communities. Why you may ask; because True-Christians must staunchly reject the government mandate for implementation of the technology. Receiving The Mark is tantamount to receiving damnation.

For their rejection and many other reasons, True-Christians will be considered enemies of the state, terrorists, and criminals. Both federal and local government broadcasts have already begun to paint Christians as religious fanatics whose messages are to be rejected as antiquated and backward in their manner of thinking.

The Foreshadowing of Today’s Message

God has a message for the world. The history of Israel from Moses to Christ was a foreshadowing of the opportunity people would have one day for either grace or damnation.

 

God offered Israel numerous opportunities to walk in His grace and receive His salvation. Unfortunately for Israel, time and again they returned to the arm of the flesh rather than to trusting their God. Oddly enough God intended Israel to take this path all along so the message could pass beyond the nation of Israel and on to the gentile nations around the globe. Thank You, Lord; otherwise, I would not have been able to receive the message of salvation.

Eventually, God finished sending this message through His Prophets and started sending it through His Son, Jesus in the Fullness of Time. Jesus delivered His message of salvation in accordance with Daniel 9:24 during the first three and a half years of His ministry and that message continues on to this very day.

Praying!~

What does praying mean to you?

Is prayer just a duty or discipline?

Is prayer just a litany of your needs, wants and or fears to be relieved?

Or is prayer for you more like a letter to an old friend, a mentor, a father or brother, sister, mother?

Foreshadowing of Things to Come 1: This Side of the Whirlwind

Foreshadowing of Things to Come

In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.—Hebrews 1:1–2 NIV

God still speaks to His people today through His prophets. However, it is more common for the Lord to speak through His inspired Word, the Bible.

When we understand how the Bible can merge with certain Hebrew traditions and laws to conjoin or coalesce into revelation can provide us insight into a technique I call the foreshadowing of things to come. This technique is applied to events or series of events established by God in order to portray, in living examples, something of greater spiritual significance. This application towards understanding provides insight into future analogous events that will take place in more vivid or literal manner in the future. Here is just one example of this principle found in the Feast of Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement. In the ceremony of Yom Kippur God directs the Israelites to sacrifice two innocent, pure and unblemished lambs for the festival’s and nation’s sin offering. This sin offering was performed annually to cover the sins of Israel for the year. Two lambs are needed and ideally considered to be one lamb for the purpose of the sacrifice. One lamb would be sacrificed so its life and blood could ceremonially cover the sins for the nation of Israel.

Turning a Blind Eye?

Men and women of God, where do you walk, on what path do you truly live, to whom are you “in truth” devoted?

I sat with the Lord this morning, in prayer, reading from the book of 1 Samuel chapters 2 and 3 when the Lord in His mercy and kindness deigned to touched my heart and soul. I’ll tell you what He revealed to me in a minute.

Anyways…

I read about Eli the Priest, a man committed to serving the LORD; however, Eli let his feelings for his sons cloud his judgment and take precedence over his love and duty for God. Though many may think so or have forgotten such behavior is not acceptable then or now for men and women of God.
