And you think the Beginning of Sorrows has not begun?

When I read this I thought my readers should know.

Here’s a quote from someone in the middle of it all.

“Born and raised in Iran, Parsa claims he “was stabbed” after converting to Christianity, and eventually fled Iran as a “religious refugee.”

“With tears in my eyes, I was so thankful to be in America, where I can express myself, nobody can stop me or oppress me for my faith…and then this happened to me,” he told PJ Media, saying he’s “gone through this before,” but only “in Muslim countries.”

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.

How Close is Close?

The Great Consummation is nearly upon us. We are deep into the Latter Days time line, and the end is oh so near! As of 2015, sixty-seven years out of an eighty years or less time line have elapsed. The time line began in 1948 when Israel became a nation and now leaves very little time remaining before the end. With this in mind, how many people do you know and care about who are not yet saved? Every believer needs to get busy!

This Side of the Whirlwind provides readers with the information needed to effectively refute every mistaken End Times doctrine currently available. It may require a little work, but it is very possible. God’s Word interprets itself when every scripture has been considered. Previous generations could live their entire lives without genuinely fearing the coming of the end. This cannot be said for this generation. As faulty End Times doctrines provide false hope, millions of Christians are in danger of losing their salvation. Pre-, Mid-, and Post-tribulation rapture theories, as well as A-Millennialism and Preterism, cannot continue without an effective challenge. Bear in mind, false End Times doctrines are not the only issues that may lead the sinners or saved to hell. After all, not everyone recognizes or accepts Jesus as God or Savior or acknowledges His coming in our lifetimes.

This Side of the Whirlwind: Climb High!

The Adventure and The Climb!

Don’t doubt God has a plan for your life. (Romans 8:29 “Them He did foreknow…)

More significantly, God has a plan for the entire Body of Christ and world as a whole (Revelation 17:17).

Sometimes unpleasant circumstances take place before God’s purposes reach fruition (Genesis 15:13-16).

During such campaigns the saints can sometimes endure great struggles and persecution and even death for God knows the greater good and sometimes we are His tools.

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;

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: Wrath Vs Tribulation

Is the Great Tribulation God’s Wrath?

Determining whether or not the Tribulation Period and the Wrath of God are different events does not necessarily confirm both events will take place at different times. The two events could reasonably take place over the same or nearly the same periods and still serve completely separate purposes.

Both events could also span parallel time frames if it were not for their divergent attributes and purposes.

We know from the Bible and new revelation found in “This Side of the Whirlwind, the Coming Apocalypse,” that the Tribulation Period will take place during the first two and a half years of the Great Consummation.  We know the Rapture of the Saints will follow the Great Tribulation based on Matthew 24:29.

Jesus said:

Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the heavens…

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.
