If you are reading this article, then you may be wondering why I am warning those "of" this world. You see, I am not of this world - I belong to Jesus Christ. I am in the world, but not of it.

From gotquestions.org

Question: "How can believers be in the world, but not of the world?"

Answer: When we read of the "world" in the New Testament, we are reading the Greek word cosmos. Cosmos most often refers to the inhabited earth and the people who live on the earth, which functions apart from God. Satan is the ruler of this "cosmos" (John 12:31; 16:11; 1 John 5:19). By the simple definition that the word world refers to a world system ruled by Satan, we can more readily appreciate Christ's claims that believers are no longer of the world-we are no longer ruled by sin, nor are we bound by the principles of the world. In addition, we are being changed into the image of Christ, causing our interest in the things of the world to become less and less as we mature in Christ.

Believers in Jesus Christ are simply in the world-physically present-but not of it, not part of its values (John 17:14-15). As believers, we should be set apart from the world. This is the meaning of being holy and living a holy, righteous life-to be set apart. We are not to engage in the sinful activities the world promotes, nor are we to retain the insipid, corrupt mind that the world creates. Rather, we are to conform ourselves, and our minds, to that of Jesus Christ (Romans 12:1-2). This is a daily activity and commitment.

We must also understand that being in the world, but not of it, is necessary if we are to be a light to those who are in spiritual darkness. We are to live in such a way that those outside the faith see our good deeds and our manner and know that there is something "different" about us. Christians who make every effort to live, think and act like those who do not know Christ do Him a great disservice. Even the heathen knows that "by their fruits you shall know them," and as Christians, we should exhibit the fruit of the Spirit within us.

Being "in" the world also means we can enjoy the things of the world, such as the beautiful creation God has given us, but we are not to immerse ourselves in what the world values, nor are we to chase after worldly pleasures. Pleasure is no longer our calling in life, as it once was, but rather the worship of God.

In 1983, I realized that I was a lost sinner. I also realized that, if I had died a moment before I realized that I was a sinner, I would go to hell. I wanted to go to heaven when I died. Some Christians I had met told me all about Jesus and how He died for me. That night was the most amazing night of my entire life. God loved me! He wanted to forgive me so that I could be in His family. How glorious is that?

He forgave me of all of my sins. I realized that Jesus' death on the Cross was payment for my sin - for all sin - for whosoever would believe on Him and place their trust in Him.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved" (John 3:16-17).

Back to my warning to you if you are of the world: If you have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ, you can never say that again. You are reading it now. God does love you so much. He wants you to be in His family. Up till now, you have rejected Him. Only you know why you have not wanted to be part of God's family. Perhaps you think that you will lose friends and even family.

I lost family. You see, I was brought up in a Jewish home. Most of my family has rejected me. The Lord allowed me the privilege of leading my father to Him. He is waiting for me in heaven. But the rest of my family has rejected me. Here is what Jesus says about that:

"Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law" (Luke 12:51-53).

Time is short. The Bible has hundreds of prophecies - many of which have already been fulfilled. But the prophecies in Revelation, Daniel and other places in the Word have yet to be fulfilled.

There is a time coming called the Tribulation. The Bible says that the horrific events which will happen in the world during the Tribulation have never happened before, and will never happen again. The Church (of which I am a part) will be taken to heaven by Jesus Himself, and then the 'Tribulation' will begin.

What is the Tribulation?

From gotquestions.org

Question: "What is the Tribulation? How do we know the Tribulation will last seven years?"

Answer: The tribulation is a future seven-year period of time when God will finish His discipline of Israel and finalize His judgment of the unbelieving world. The church, made up of all who have trusted in the person and work of the Lord Jesus to save them from being punished for sin, will not be present during the tribulation. The church will be removed from the earth in an event known as the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-53). The church is saved from the wrath to come (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

Throughout Scripture, the tribulation is referred to by other names such as the Day of the Lord (Isaiah 2:12; 13:6-9; Joel 1:15; 2:1-31; 3:14; 1 Thessalonians 5:2); trouble or tribulation (Deuteronomy 4:30; Zephaniah 1:1); the great tribulation, which refers to the more intense second half of the seven-year period (Matthew 24:21); time or day of trouble (Daniel 12:1; Zephaniah 1:15); time of Jacob's trouble (Jeremiah 30:7).

An understanding of Daniel 9:24-27 is necessary in order to understand the purpose and time of the tribulation. This passage speaks of 70 weeks that have been declared against "your people." Daniel's people are the Jews, the nation of Israel, and Daniel 9:24 speaks of a period of time that God has given "to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy." God declares that "seventy sevens" will fulfill all these things. This is 70 sevens of years, or 490 years. (Some translations refer to 70 weeks of years.)

This is confirmed by another part of this passage in Daniel. In verses 25 and 26, Daniel is told that the Messiah will be cut off after "seven sevens and sixty-two sevens" (69 total), beginning with the decree to rebuild Jerusalem. In other words, 69 sevens of years (483 years) after the decree to rebuild Jerusalem, the Messiah will be cut off. Biblical historians confirm that 483 years passed from the time of the decree to rebuild Jerusalem to the time when Jesus was crucified. Most Christian scholars, regardless of their view of eschatology (future things/events), have the above understanding of Daniel's 70 sevens.

With 483 years having passed from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem to the cutting off of the Messiah, this leaves one seven-year period to be fulfilled in terms of Daniel 9:24: "to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy." This final seven-year period is known as the tribulation period-it is a time when God finishes judging Israel for its sin.

Daniel 9:27 gives a few highlights of the seven-year tribulation period: "He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him." The person of whom this verse speaks is the person Jesus calls the "abomination that causes desolation" (Matthew 24:15) and is called "the beast" in Revelation 13.

Daniel 9:27 says that the beast will make a covenant for seven years, but in the middle of this week (3 1/2 years into the tribulation), he will break the covenant, putting a stop to sacrifice. Revelation 13 explains that the beast will place an image of himself in the temple and require the world to worship him. Revelation 13:5 says that this will go on for 42 months, which is 3 1/2 years.

Since Daniel 9:27 says that this will happen in the middle of the week, and Revelation 13:5 says that the beast will do this for a period of 42 months, it is easy to see that the total length of time is 84 months or seven years. Also see Daniel 7:25, where the "time, times, and half a time" (time=1 year; times=2 years; half a time=1/2 year; total of 3 1/2 years) also refers to "great tribulation," the last half of the seven-year tribulation period when the beast will be in power.

For further references about the tribulation, see Revelation 11:2-3, which speaks of 1260 days and 42 months, and Daniel 12:11-12, which speaks of 1290 days and 1335 days. These days have a reference to the midpoint of the tribulation. The additional days in Daniel 12 may include the time at the end for the judgment of the nations (Matthew 25:31-46) and time for the setting up of Christ's millennial kingdom (Revelation 20:4-6).

In summary, the Tribulation is the 7-year time period in the end times in which humanity's decadence and depravity will reach its fullness, with God judging accordingly.

The Flood and the Rapture of God's Children

In the Bible, it is recorded that God destroyed the earth except for Noah and his family by a great flood. The account of this is in the Old Testament. God said that the thoughts of men and women were only evil continually, and that He was sorry that he had created them. The human race had rejected their maker - the Lord.

God is not responsible for all of the horrific things that happen on this earth. The Garden of Eden was perfection. There was no sin there. Adam and Eve walked with God and talked with Him. Everything was just as God wanted it to be.

God created Adam and Eve in His image but He also gave them free volition of will to choose good or evil. Eve was deceived by Satan, and Adam sinned willfully. Since that time, this earth has been in utter chaos. Tribulation is when God's wrath will be poured out on all flesh for their sin and disobedience.

Jesus is the Ark of Safety for All Those Who Place Their Trust in Him

The Bible says:

"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" (Matthew 24:37-39).

The Coming of the Man of SIN

A man the Bible calls "Antichrist" will fool the world, and many will worship him. They will receive his "mark" which shows that their allegiance will be to the Beast (Antichrist). The people who take the "mark" of the beast will be condemned to hell when they die. The Church will be gone (to heaven) as will children who have not reached the age of accountability. If you are left behind, you will suffer great affliction. The Bible says that people will wish to die but will not be able to.

Antichrist will be Indwelled by Satan himself

After the tribulation begins, some will realize that they missed the truth - that Jesus Christ is truly God, and that He is the Savior of the world. Those people will give their hearts to Christ. They will be hunted down and slaughtered by Antichrist for not worshiping him. After they are martyred, Jesus will receive them into His Kingdom. This period of time will be the worst time ever seen on the earth.

Time is so short. The headlines which you read each day regarding the Middle East are simply God's prophetic Word being fulfilled. No one knows the hour of the coming of Jesus Christ to rapture His Church! No one is guaranteed another day, or even another minute in this life.

Are you willing to enter eternity without Christ and be condemned to hell?

The Decision is yours

Do you want to be here during this time? You do not have to be here. You can stop right now - wherever you are, and confess that you agree that you are a sinner to God, and repent of those sins. You can tell Jesus that you need Him to be your Savior and that you trust Him for your Salvation.

But know this: God will not be mocked. He will know if your profession of faith in Him is sincere. Nothing is hidden from our Lord.

How to be Saved

Do NOT believe that there are many ways to God. There is ONE way:

"Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6).

There is no reincarnation. That is a lie from the devil. There is no such thing as Chrislam. That is also from the evil one. The God of the Bible and Allah are NOT the same! Allah is a false god.

"And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).

There are no "Good works" to earn everlasting life.
Faith and faith alone in the Sin of God.



I hope and pray that many who are of this world will take to heart the things I have said in this piece. Where you spend eternity will depend on whether you accept Jesus into your heart or reject Him.

His love for you knows no boundaries, and He is waiting for you with open arms. No matter what you have done in this life, He is waiting to forgive you, make you into a new person and take you into His family.

I pray that you will open your heart to Him.

How Can I Be Saved?

Perfer to learn more through "private message" just let me know.
Blessings in Jesus,

MARANATHA (Come O Lord!)

Jack…your last question was, “How Can I Be Saved?”

IT’S AS SIMPLE AS ABC…

It is so simple that a child can understand and receive this wonderful gift. This is how to be saved, it is simply child-like, as simple as ABC.

A: Admit that you are a sinner
This is where that godly sorrow leads to genuine repentance for sinning against a righteous God and there is a change of heart. We change our mind and God changes our hearts and regenerates us from the inside out.

Romans 3:10 – As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one."
Romans 3:23 – For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

We are all born sinners which is why we must be born spiritually in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Romans 6:23 – For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The bad news is that the wages of sin is death. In other words, our sin means that we have been given a death sentence. We have the death penalty hanging over our heads. That's the bad news. But here's the good news. The good news is that the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ephesians 2:8-9 – For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

B: Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and that God raised Jesus from the dead
This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was.

Romans 10:9-10 – That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

C: Call upon the name of the Lord
Every single person who ever lived since Adam will bend their knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Lord of lords and the King of kings.

Romans 14:11 – For it is written: "As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God."

Don't wait until later – do this now! You are not guaranteed another breath!

Romans 10:13 – For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

MARANATHA BROTHER!

We live in such an exciting time, to some, the most exciting time! We are in the 'end times'...... Do we proclaim an exact date....... absolutely not! We are told to never think that we know that date. Mathew 24:36
Jesus tells us in Mathew 24:34 that 'this' generation shall not pass , meaning the generation that sees all the things that are discussed in chapter 24, Until these things be fulfilled!

In 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5 We are told that the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night! When they say there is peace and safety, a sudden destruction will come upon them, like a woman in labor! But the children of the light, meaning those that have chosen Jesus Christ as our Savior, will not be surprised of this Day of the Lord. Only those living in darkness, who have refused the very words of Jesus, will not be aware of the 'season' of the Day of the Lord!

Prophecy is app. one third of the Bible and is not being taught in most churches today! There is nothing more exciting than the study of Prophecy for all those that are assured of their destination of spending an Eternity with Jesus Christ or scarier for those who are sensing the coming destruction! I sincerely hope that more Christians start their own journey to acquaint themselves with the timeline in Prophecythat we are now in?

Jesus Christ is returning soon to meet his Church in the air very soon!

MARANATHA!
Come Soon Dear Lord!

Right on Brother, the simple "Romans" path to salvation that a five year old can understand. Solid scripture and God says "his word does not come back void". Those rejecting now will understand these simple verses after the church is removed.

God Bless

Hello Sister,
You said "Lord come soon"
Just read an article of both China and Russia threatening to go to war with the U.S. based in facts.
I do believe our Lord Jesus will soon speak those words "Come up hither".
Not only the prophetic stage is set, but removing America from power is also.
I'm convinced America is not the "Eagle" or Great city of Tarnish or Babylon. Many try to fit America into verses just not meant for America. How America is removed from power is at best educated speculation. But to me, removing America in such a great way as to not have mention in revalations lends thought to Russia, China or both doing the final blow.

Our time regardless is short, short, short.
Thank Jesus because it is pain to our souls seeing the direction America, the world has become.

God Bless

Good morning 🌞!

I don’t see America in Revelation either. We are a very young Nation compared to the other notable nations in history.
I have little doubt that America will not be destroyed, either just before the Tribulation starts or just after it starts. If the Rapture happened today, there would be total Chaos all over the world! The Restrainer will be removed with God’s Church! There seems to be evidence that America will be affected more because of the percentage of Christians here...Many churches are now vacant and crumbling to the ground in Countries that used to have many more people of Faith.

When the Restainer is no longer ‘restraining’ evil will rise exponentially! The Restrainer is , of course, the Holy Spirit!
I also believe that we will be attacked.........whether it is before or after the Rapture, I just don’t know!
1 Thessalonians 5:9 tells us that God has not appointed us to wrath, however, I don’t think that we should be so complacent to think we may not be here for more severe birth pains!

I would love to see more discussions on End Times Prophecy! Things are so very fluid in this ol’ World that we live in......I keep saying that the puzzle pieces are falling into place, but it seems that these pieces morph into different pieces at times! I know that there are several Christians in the Political section that follow Prophecy. I would love to know more about their take on the current events and the connection to the book of Revelation.

Keep looking up! As Gary Stearman of ProphecyWatchers says!

God Bless!

As far as Babylon is concerned......... who do you think it is? Is it a great City or is it a World System or a Religious System?

When the Restainer is no longer ‘restraining’ evil will rise exponentially! The Restrainer is , of course, the Holy Spirit!
I also believe that we will be attacked.........whether it is before or after the Rapture, I just don’t know!
1 Thessalonians 5:9 tells us that God has not appointed us to wrath, however, I don’t think that we should be so complacent to think we may not be here for more severe birth pains!

I would love to see more discussions on End Times Prophecy! Things are so very fluid in this ol’ World that we live in......I keep saying that the puzzle pieces are falling into place, but it seems that these pieces morph into different pieces at times! I know that there are several Christians in the Political section that follow Prophecy. I would love to know more about their take on the current events and the connection to the book of Revelation.

Keep looking up! As Gary Stearman of ProphecyWatchers says!

God Bless!

Everything you just said is exactly what several respected theologians have been saying..
I would suggest that evil is increasing while the Holy Spirit is restraining. Demons are working oppressing, possessing, making strongholds in our government, society, world and controlling many events.
Imagine the most horrific horror movie, now imagine it happening across our and other nations.... Everywhere.
Its not chance that Hollywood is conditioning society to accept, even embrace demonic spirits as souls of the dead not yet departed or stuck and most harmless. Increasingly more real time ghost hunter shows are being added and watched on more and more channels.
This is but one of many horrors that will be happening, PLUS God's wrath as revealed to John.
What if the rapture wasn't known to the world or seen as a huge event that had to be explained by world leaders and news journalists? The wars spoke of in the Bible during the seven year tribulation include Israel, but a third world War excluding Israel beginning before (just before) the tribulation happening on a limited exchange with America being the focus, how would the world know the rapture ever happened, except on a limited less viewed by the masses.
I have studied Prophecy for years and often times speculation hits the mark, but not necessarily every time, but do enjoy discussing the possibility of events leading to prophecy.
God Bless

There are two Babylons spoken of in Scripture. Often times many interchange the two, try to fit a round peg (America) into a square prophetic hole.
I get back to you later today on this when time allows.
God Bless

I hadn’t thought of WW111 being a cover for the Rapture! Very interesting!

My husband and I think that there will be a UFO event of some kind. A huuuge event! LOL! In the early 80’s, we were on a deer lease with our two sons that were about 12 years old at the time, setting up deer feeders and just enjoying a weekend out in the country with them. We had gone out at night to try to call an animal up using a game caller, that didn’t work so we were using a spot light in the trees to find a coon or something to look at, anything to entertain and have fun with our boys! All of a sudden something literally streaked down from the sky and hovered right above a tree line a little ways from us. Jack turned off the spot light and turned the Jeep off! Then the thing zipped straight up and went from point to point way too fast for any craft we had or that a human could bear! It then came back to rest above the tree line. Jack looked at me but didn’t say a word, we didn’t want the boys to know that we were as alarmed 😱 as we were! The thing finally left ....... straight up and disappeared instantaneously! We went back to our RV with the lights out!!! We told our sons not to bother trying to tell anyone about our UFO encounter because they would laugh at them!!!! We didn’t either for many years! My point is! We know they are real!

There are people that believe that they are in contact with them and that they are benevolent! They claim that they are here to help us! We believe that they are evil and come from another dimension..... that they are demons and have been around since the fall of the Angels. We think that they will somehow use them to explain our departure! We think that this is a possibility, NOT set in stone!

I look forward for your opinion on Babylon!

Here is another link to Babylon but of the opposite view.

Have you noticed on every "Every" UFO sighting, not once has one been on radar entering earth? Or leaving earth? In 100% of "Every" sighting they just appear from the sky or disappear in a instant. I believe they are demonic and come from another dimension or disappear to another dimension. Satan does not have God's power to create, leaving me to believe that many of the ranchers cattle, horses that have had their genitalia removed with no visible signs, no foot prints, tire tracks and the organs removed with laser accuracy. Many times a radioactive signature left behind. I lean towards demons trying to learn how to create and may have done so using genetics, crossing fallen angels with???? Thus the Grey men that are described differently with some short, others taller and different head shapes. Unlike God Satan cannot create with a thought but only counterfeit much like our scientist are and have been doing only Satan is creating a deception for man.
I have to think if aliens came during the tribulation it would be a few and like the Three wise men, it would be to honor the false christ (antichrist) as a message to the world he "is" God.

That's my best guess and more on mystery babylon later.... God Bless
