A Prophetic Life? True-Life 41

A Prophetic Life?

Thus says the Lord, “One year from now you will have a son and he will be a man of God.”

These words were spoken – by a stranger – to my mother – 12 months before I was born.  I don’t know if I was born on the exact same day 12 months later but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Though not by choice at first I have lived a life filled with prophecies and interactions with God. Today, I would not have it any other way!

Some prophecies over the course of my life were given to me (for me) by others with prophetic giftings – some of those prophecies came to pass and some not so much.

So what is a legitimate prophecy?

This Side of the Whirlwind’s: Who Can Learn?

Who Can Learn?

Scripture supports itself!

Who can accurately learn and understand the message found in God’s Word?

Well, according to Isaiah 28:9–13 and Hebrews 5:12-14, God teaches and enlightens those who mature in the pursuit of His Word and His Will:

For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed into the image of his Son… (Romans 8:29 NIV)

So who will HE teach?

Blinded & Ransomed

Between the Pre-, Mid-, and Post-Tribulation rapture theorists and the A-Millennialists and Preterists, millions of Christians have been blinded by false (lying) doctrines and are therefore at risk of losing or giving away their salvation.

Those who just said to themselves, “Oh, we cannot lose our salvation” have just proven a terrible point and shown their lack of scriptural understanding.

In general, we may not be able to lose our salvation… but we are not living in “general” times!  No, we are living in the Latter Days and a time when the Tribulation Period of the Great Consummation and the Mark of the Beast are due to come upon us; and that, all too soon.

The Second Half of Christ’s Covenant

Part 3

We left off with this contract between God and Humanity:

Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse;

• the blessing, if you obey the commandment of the LORD your God which I command you today;
• And the Curse (Judgment) if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today. (Deuteronomy 11:26-28 NKJV)

Now, let’s look at the Split Versing of the Covenant of Jesus Christ.”  The two divisions of the contract or covenant can be seen in Isaiah 61:1 and 2.

First Half of the Covenant”

At the beginning of His ministry Jesus announced Himself the fulfillment of the Blessing’s Half of the Contract when He said Isaiah 61:1-2a was fulfilled by Him (Jesus).  He did this on the day He entered into His hometown Synagogue in Nazareth (Luke 4:14-21) and proclaimed Himself Israel’s Messiah.  Here is what He read, Isaiah 61:1-2a:

 “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach glad tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted; to proclaim liberty to the captives; and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

Beast or Anti-Christ

Most tend to think of the Beast as the Antichrist, but is this what scripture is referring to when it speaks of the Beast coming up out of the seas? Mostly… Yes!

1 John 4:7 says, “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.” (NIV)

Over the next few posts titled, “The Beast” we will discuss who and what scripture calls the Beast or Antichrist and what attributes or character traits will adequately describe this infamous Biblical character.

How about another question?

Did you know — that as a Christian you are saved by the blood of the Lamb?  There is NO OTHER name under heaven by which you MUST be saved.

This is a True statement!!!

The majority of Christians would answer this question in the affirmative.

And it is true; we are saved by the blood of the Lamb;

Second half of Christ’s Covenant

Part-One

The Contract!

How about a question?  What is the 2^nd half of Christ’s Covenant?

Here’s the “simple” answer.  The 2^nd half of Christ’s Covenant is the Judgment half of Christ’s two-part Contract with humanity for Salvation.  Was that really a simple answer?  You’d have to decide for your self. 🙂

What contract — you might ask?

The two part contract between God and humanity which offers people Salvation.

This Side of the Whirlwind: Fullness of Time 2

Fullness of Time 2

Remember this:

God provides a means of escape

for anyone and everyone

who will choose Him

through His Son,

Jesus Christ.

But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because you are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (Galatians 4:4–6 KJV)

In previous Fullness of Time events God sent PRELUDES into our world and THEN God sent Jesus, His Son, to provide salvation for the world. The next great crossroad, the next coming Fullness of Time will bring the full measure of sin and that to its zenith.  This era is nearly upon us, the world.

Daniel 8:23 expounds upon these preludes to this period known as the Latter Days.  It will be a time in which the sinners of the world will achieve an unbelievable and unprecedented level of wickedness.  According to scripture the sinfulness during the Great Consummation will fill the proverbial cup of the wicked to its fullest level in the history of the world.

This Side of the Whirlwind: An Unpopular Truth!

An Unpopular Truth

But though he (Jesus) had done so many miracles before them, yet they (Israel) believed not on him: that the saying of Esaias (Isaiah) the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted and I should heal them. These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him (Jesus) (John 12:37–41 KJV emphasis added).

Of course, the report in question speaks of Jesus the Christ.[1] While the gospel has been offered to every gentile nation with varied levels of acceptance, some of the earth’s populations have been created as brute beasts predestined for their own destruction (2 Peter 2:12, Jude 1:10). Conspicuously, if the gateway to destruction is broad[2] and the gateway to salvation narrow,[3] there will always and unavoidably be more destined toward their own destruction than toward the glories of salvation. This is a sad but accurate biblical truth. Pray for those who cannot internalize (see or hear) the gospel message. Pray for God’s boundless mercy on every person you know. Petition our Savior through your prayers for mercy on the lost, but more important, pray for those brothers and sisters in Christ who are currently saved and love the Lord but have not obeyed in learning God’s Word effectively. Remember, any Christian who receives the Mark of the Beast will suffer the full measure of God’s Wrath (Revelation 14:9–12).

The horrors I have witnessed in the visions of God’s Wrath bring tears to my eyes EVERY time I think on these issues.

In the Fullness of Time 1

When God determines the world has reached the fullness of time (Ephesians 1:7-12 found at end of Post)  Jesus will come to gather all those individuals who have accepted His covenant through His propitiation or payment for sin.

Sadly, when the Lord returns, many of the saints will have been deceived by those tempting lies perpetrated by the Beast via The Church’s mistaken End-Times teachings.

The current End-Times misunderstanding (Pre, Mid and Post Tribulation teachings as well as A-Millennialism and Preterism) will cause many believers to be utterly unprepared for the difficulties we must face during the upcoming crucible.  Further, because of such teachings misrepresent what is coming and why the Saints will not know what is going on and why.

Ready or not, the “End of Days” is coming with the Beast and the Mark of the Beast deceiving many before the Tribulation Period can even begin.

KNOW WHAT IS COMING!
