32. #FaitAccompli2 #BlessedHope

"You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?" (Malachi 2:17)

"I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves 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 who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand? " (Revelation 6:12-17)

Dearest Reader, yes my blog is entitled God Loves You...however, do not be deceived by the crowds insisting that every sin is winked at by a loving God. This is a great deception that keeps the people in their seats on Sunday and has allowed for all kinds of depravity to run amok in our Churches and in our world. Judge not lest ye be judged! Is the cry of the masses. Ahhh, but there is a judge Dear One, and His name is Jesus. Yes. Jesus.

For far too long, Jesus has been portrayed as a humble man seemingly incapable of anger or judgement. Even the Churches stopped preaching about sin and judgement in order to be seen as tolerant, inclusive and "politically correct". Albeit, above all, they stopped because it helped the Churches keep the seats warm and the tithes coming in. Do not be fooled. Jesus came the first time to earth to lay His life down for you. He chose to suffer the penalty of death for your sins (for the wages of sin is death. This means all sin - not just the "biggies".) Yes, He LOVES YOU. And He has been whispering His love to you since your birth.

However, this very same Jesus promised to come back to Earth. Not to bring "more salvation" and Love - but JUDGEMENT. And it is severe.

I have been trying my best to open your eyes so that you may see the trajectory this world is headed. There are far too many Biblical prophecies regarding the time just before the return of Jesus that have come to pass or are swiftly coming to pass to ignore. Far too many. The Bible also predicts that the Church would be lukewarm and that many professing Christians would end up being deceived because of their love for the things of this world and not holding fast to the Word of God.

God gives prophecy to warn and to rebuke. He shows us what will happen so that we might be spiritually and physically prepared. That we might repent of our wicked deeds - So that God may grant a reprieve of judgement. But God says there will be a time when "The transgressors come to the full" (Daniel 8:23) that an all embracing worldwide judgement will come. And it will be beyond anything you could ever think or imagine. Anyone who has read or studied the Bible can easily see that we are swiftly heading to this time called the Great Tribulation that has been foretold by Biblical prophets for over 4,000 years. In our last Fait Accompli we discussed the beginning of this judgment as chronicled in the book of Revelation. We went through the first 4 Seal Judgements of God and the release of the 4 Horsemen. In this blog, I will do my best to set forth the events chronologically that happen in our world after the Four Horsemen ride. Buckle up.

In the opening of the 5th Seal Judgement, we see the souls of them that were "slain for the Word of God and for the testimony that they held.". Throughout history there has been a special place of hatred against anyone who held the Bible as the inerrant Word of God. The Book of Martyrs is not for the faint of heart. For even the so-called Christian Church of Catholicism is guilty of the most heinous of crimes against Humanity and that included people who owned, distributed and believed in the Words of the Bible. We see in this Seal Judgment that these martyrs are to wait a little while longer "until their fellow servants and their brethren that will be killed during this time will be fulfilled." (Revelation 6:11)

Yes more mass martyrdom is prophesied here. And those who hate and despise Christianity or consider it "dangerous ideology" will be counted among those who fulfill this prophecy.

But just when all looks lost. When Technocracy is poised to or has taken over the world. When there is no more freedom of speech, when Cancel Culture becomes militant, when there are wars and rumors of wars and earthquakes throughout the world - this happens...

The 6th Seal.

There is a GREAT earthquake. It seems as if heaven has opened up and the stars of heaven fall upon the earth. The Earthquake is so massive that mountains and islands are moved out of place.

"And the kings of 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 rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb (Jesus): For the great day of his wrath has come and who shall be able to stand?" (Revelation 6:12-17)

"Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken." (Luke 21:26)

This is the beginning of the Great Tribulation. The first 5 seals are just forerunners of what is to come, warning those and preparing those with eyes to see.

Is this a picture of a possible large asteroid passing by earth, causing a mass earthquake and bringing with it space debris that slams into the earths atmosphere - looking like stars falling from heaven? I am not sure. But there is something else that happens on this fateful day. All will be able to see Jesus. He will be revealed to all on earth. Everyone on earth will know that his wrath has come. Yes, the world will tremble in abject fear. However, for the Christian this is the day of - The blessed hope!

"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ." (Titus 2:13)

You see, this catastrophic beginning of Gods wrath is not the return of Jesus. His feet do not touch the ground as they will later. He is not riding a White Horse (Revelation 19), and he is not returning with ten thousands of his saints (Jude 1:14). No, this is where Jesus reveals himself to the world. The powers that be know exactly what is happening and they are horrified, but they are prepared. They have been preparing for this for quite some time; Not only have they built massive underground bunkers (not just for Nuclear War) but they have also put forward false information in advance of this worldwide catastrophic event. There are a legion of books published that pre- explain what else happens this day. (We may look into this later) You see, this is the day that every true believer in God's Word about himself, Jesus and the Holy Spirit will be ushered off this planet in a "twinkling of an eye" to escape those things that are coming upon the Earth.

This is the day of our Rapture.

"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:36)

"Even thus shall it be when the Son of Man is revealed...I tell you in that night there shall be two in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken and the other left. two shall be in the field; the one shall be taken and the left." (Luke 17:30; 34-36)

The word revealed in the above text means, "Literally to remove a veil or covering exposing to open view what was before hidden. To make manifest or revel a thing previously secret or unknown." (Lexical Aids to the New Testament AMG Publishers Key Word Bible KJV)

Again, notice that this event is quite different from the verses pertaining to the full return of the Lord Jesus Christ. For those who know, when Stephen was stoned he was able to see Jesus on his throne. The veil separating us from seeing heaven was removed. This is what is going to happen on a grand scale a worldwide when Jesus Christ reveals himself.

Also, in the Greek dictionary the words "one shall be taken" means "to receive, take unto, with." Notice that there are three times of day that this happens taking into account that for some in the world this event will be in the middle of the night, for the others morning and others at mid day.

This fateful day will be both a day of terror and elation. This is the day that Jesus reveals himself to the world as righteous judge and to the believers as a Bridegroom. He whisks us away off this planet before his full judgment is meted out. And while this world churns in its sin and depravity, those of us who are taken up to heaven are enjoying the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

"And the angel said to me, “Write this: 'Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” (Revelation 19:9)

This can not be stressed enough, this event is the end of the Church Age and the beginning of God reconciling Israel back to Himself. It is an event that will consummate a soon as the Gospel has been preached throughout the world. And that has happened. So this event could happen at any time - now.

You must choose whether you will be fainting with fear: "People fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken." (Luke 21:26)

Or, be translated in a "twinkling of an eye" (1 Corinthians 15:52) to Heaven to be with Jesus while this Earth suffers horrible judgement.

"For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ." (1Thessalonians 5:9)

"And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come." (1 Thessalonians 1:10)

We will discuss the Rapture in more detail in another blog. For now, as promised, I will try my best to walk you through the book of Revelation to see what lays ahead for the world once true Christians have been removed from the earth. It isn't pretty.

Continuing on with the 6th Seal: After this life altering event, the wind stops blowing in all the earth and an Angel decrees not to hurt the Earth, Seas or Trees until 144K Jews (12K from each of the 12 Tribes of Israel) are sealed and protected by God to preach the Gospel to the Jewish nation.

So we see here that God is specifically targeting Israel and the Jews now. The Church has been taken to heaven...

"After this I beheld and lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes...Saying Amen: Blessing and glory, and wisdom and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might be unto our God forever and ever. Amen...[Who are those] which are arrayed in white robes and where did they come from? And I said unto him Sir,...These are they that CAME OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION...and

God shall wipe all tears from their eyes." (Revelation 7:9-17)

To be continued...
