Futuristic Retrospect! Looking Back from Heaven

No man ever regretted being a Christian on his deathbed.

“Ecclesiastes 3:11 God ‘hath set the world in their heart.’ Meaning God has set a longing for eternity in every human heart. A deep longing that there is more beyond themselves. A hunger that this world cannot fill. An emptiness that many try to fill other ways. But this hunger will never be quenched without God. Once you know, when you leave this earth, you will be with Jesus you have a peace that passes all understanding. Philippians 4:7 Hallelujah!!” Karen Cochran

“Death is not to be feared, it ushers us into eternity with God. Life with God eternally is what everyone of us should long for. In everything you do, have eternity in mind. If there is anything in your life that is drawing you away from God, you should realize that it is not worth it.” Unknown

HIS CRUSHING BLOW IS COMING: JESUS CHRIST IS THE CREATOR AND KING OF HIS EARTH AND IS COMING BACK TO CRUSH AND DAMN EVERY REBEL – WITH NO EXCEPTION. REPENT NOW AND FOLLOW CHRIST OR PERISH IN THE FLAMES OF ETERNAL DAMNATION IRREVOCABLY (Psalms 2:11-12; 24:1; 50:22; Revelation 19:11-16; 20:11-15). “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” (Acts 16:31) Making Peace with God – now, before it’s too late. https://safeguardyoursoul.com/peace-with-god/

Nothing can stop this!

The devil and his agents messing with you? That means you are nailing him!!! Boom. Fret not below – “howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.” Nehemiah 13:2

“So looking forward to being free from the temptation of sin, sickness and disease, and rejoicing in the LORD with all his saints!” Jon Crane

Rom 8:19  For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Rom 8:20  For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
Rom 8:21  Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Rom 8:22  For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Rom 8:23  And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Rom 8:24  For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
Rom 8:25  But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

“Thank You Jesus that You bottle every tear. Psalm 56:8. Meaning You bottle in remembrance all my hurts and tears. You also promise that my crying and pain in this life is not the end of the story. Rev 21:4 You promise to wipe away every tear. In the end we will be with Jesus that’s all that will matter. What a glorious day that will be. All pain of this life washed away! We just bask in the Lord Jesus! Amen!!” Karen Cochran

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9

Wolves can be known in that they don’t get their prey in the Word for themselves 2 Timothy 2:15

Going to be entertained on Sunday mornings as what some call “church” not replace daily Bible reading and prayer and the cross (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Timothy 2:15; 1 Thessalonians 5:17, etc.).

Anyone not in God’s Word and living a life of prayer every day as they seek His holy face fervently, has told a LORD that He is not important to them and they will not make it (Matthew 25:1-13).

There is NO work, no-thing transpiring on the earth more important than the work of our LORD’s Gospel. Most of the other things are vying for your affections. Read Luke 21 and Colossians 3:1-4. JESUS is coming.

Stop for a moment with me and ponder….
how the foolish virgin believers who lived before us now feel as the sulk in utter remorse, stuck in the inescapable prison of fire … hell.
In their earthly lives they were saved by and engaged to be married Jesus the Great Bridegroom, and then did not love and live by God’s Word and so were vulnerable when told by wolves that they were “eternally secure.” This led to their lukewarmness where they consequently allowed the things of this world to crowd out, to take precedence over their lives and Jesus was inched out, He was no longer their “first love.” (Revelation 2:4-5) Darkness enveloped them and they died and went to hell, irrevocably (Mark 9:43-49; Luke 16:19-31, etc.). There are no second chances. There are no do-overs (Hebrews 9:27). Read Matthew 25:1-13.

Jon Crane writes:

Eternity is Forever

Our sufferings in this temporal world are going to be very brief and God will grant us His grace no matter what.

2 Corinthians 4:18 is a great verse to memorize today.

“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

For now we “see through a glass darkly” and so can’t even begin to comprehend even a taste of glory divine (1 Corinthians 13:12).

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9

God’s people, all those truly in Christ, are “the precious fruit of the earth” whom He is returning soon for – to harvest into His eternal abode to be forever with Him! (James 5:7-9; Ephesians 1:10; Revelation 21).

Your eternal perspective and “the peace of God, that passeth all understanding” (Philippians 4:7) is going to explode when you read here: 1. Ephesians 1:10-11 2. Revelation 21 Eternity Explosion!

Jesus Christ came and “made peace through the blood of his cross” and why? That “by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” (Colossians 1:20)

—NOTHING can stop the return of Christ – to destroy His enemies and make safe and secure His wife virgin saints! Boom. Isaiah 13:9; Revelation 19:11-16

The Return of Heaven’s KING

GOD IS STALKING THE WICKED:

“To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.” Deuteronomy 32:35

He cannot escape “the curse of the LORD” which in his very “house” or everywhere he is and goes.

“The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.” Proverbs 3:33

Divine “vengeance” is coming “vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:” (v8)

Remember, while He instructed us not “avenge,” He also promised that “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Romans 12:19

We shall rejoice to see the LORD retribution come upon the wicked.

“The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11 that a man shall say, 11 1  So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.” Psalms 58:10-11

“If there were no resurrection, we would be better off to make the most of this life. We would live for food, clothing, and pleasure. This would be the only heaven we could look forward to. But since there is a resurrection, we dare not spend our lives for these things of passing interest. We must live for ‘then’ and not for ‘now.'” Believer’s Bible Commentary

All of the increasing darkness perhaps reminds us of our LORD’s warning about …. “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” Matthew 24:21-22

We cannot begin to comprehend what glory lies ahead for the children of God.

Are you getting excited? Are you living excited?

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9

Divine Warnings are to Prepare, not Scare You!

“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:28

Only the righteous – those right and ready – can rejoice all day every day at the reality of the soon return of their KING! Here’s how and where they live:

“Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us.” 1 John 4:15-19

In review of the glorious above passage, Heaven-ready disciple are confessing Christ to others, they are dwelling in God’s love, they have boldness in light of the judgment to come, they are being made perfect in God’s love, and rejoicing that Jesus first love us and gave us the privilege to reciprocate that love!

Ready or Not – Jesus is Coming. You’ve Been Warned. “They are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20) THE RETURN OF CHRIST https://safeguardyoursoul.com//the-return-of-christ/

Is God going to automatically keep all whom He has saved? No. God is able…. and yet God requires that we “endure to the end” with Him, abiding…. remaining, continuing in Christ, per His stated terms (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; John 15:6; Romans 11:20-22; Hebrews 3:6, 12-15; 10:26-39; 2 Peter 2:20-21, etc.). Eternal security is a lie from hell. Repent. Run from the liars, now (Proverbs 19:27). https://safeguardyoursoul.com//eternal-security-once-saved-always-saved/

The LORD gave us the news before the news. He declared the end from the beginning – as He alone can do. Selah.

“Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:” Isaiah 46:9-10

Prophetically, via the “more sure word of prophecy”, the Holy Scriptures, “the e     the New Testament saints sees far beyond the now, this immediate temporary life

“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises (the Holy Scriptures): that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. … 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. ” 2 Peter 1:3-4, 19-21

IF YOUR VIEW OF THE FUTURE DOESN’T HAVE CHRIST REIGNING OVER HIS EARTH AND PUTTING AWAY ALL REBELS, YOU’VE BEEN DECEIVED.

Permanent GESARA / NESARA coming to those who are Christ’s…. and all others are rebels who will be compartmentalized in the lake of fire to pay for their own sins they refused to allow God to forgive through the precious blood of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ (Hebrews 2:3; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Revelation 20:11-15; 21:8, 27,etc.).

The “Freshest” start, new beginning ever is coming soon…. the real “Great Reset” when the sinners are vanquished into eternal damnation to rid them, to gitmo, to incarcerate every rebel into the domain of the damned and live in the bliss of our Great Bridegroom in the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21)….. who unlike the first Adam, will keep, He will protect His beloved bride for whom He died – and to begin with by removing all who refused to comply with His command for them to repent and be saved! (Acts 16:30-31; 17:30-31, etc.).

Jesus instructs His people not to worry about the future – tomorrow:

Matthew 6:34
“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”

Recently a dear brother in Christ related to me his concern for the stress of nations, for the myriad of evil operations transpiring in the earth (Matthew 24; Luke 21). The reply to His concern involved comfort in the eternal hope and expectation we have in Christ, that He is coming soon and that all the exponential evil manifesting in this fleeting world is only proof that Heaven’s KING of all kings is coming soon! “Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” (Revelation 22:20)

Eyes to the Sky – Eyes on Heaven’s KING

Recently a dear brother in Christ was stressing a bit about the downward trend of our fallen world…. What came to me was to encourage him with the words of our LORD and encourage him to realize that the worse things get in this world, the nearer we are to our LORD’s soon coming.

”  Luke 21:28

Desolation looming on the horizon? No problem, Your God is in control. The Joy of Jesus’ Return!  

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up’ (2 Pet. 3:10).

Fear God saint’s, and stop listening to the fables of the wicked who are full of themselves [pride] and know not the LORD. They are in darkness, fearing in unbelief whatever their imaginations dream, and without the light of Christ.

Rather glorify God by living in faith and obedience to the great Shepherd of your soul. The only fear that is clean is the fear of the LORD. Job 28:28” Jon Crane

May God allow us to preach in such a way as to cause His people to begin to be homesick for Heaven to be with Him.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18

“An insatiable appetite for glory leads to sacrifice and death, but innate instinct leads to self preservation and life.” Jose Marti

“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

the increase, the feeding of your eternal perspective begins today….. feed it beloved! Fuel it!

Hebrews 11:10; 13:14

Nurturing that Eternal Perspective

“For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.” Hebrews 13:14

THIS is NOT our home saints.
We are passing through.

2 Corinthians 5:1—–

Looking forth, peering into eternity via the words of the One who “inhabiteth eternity” (Isaiah 57:15) – who sees all – past, present, and future….

“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.” Habakkuk 2:1-4

The LORD had you in mind, living in this last hour before His return, when He had His prophet pen these words. He had Habakkuk record this vision so you could live these final days by faith, knowing Christ will not tarry but will surely come quickly. Revelation 22:20-22

”  Revelation 22:

“For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.” Psalms 84:10

There’s nothing in this world, on this earth, that will be glamorous in following Jesus. Christ’s disciples are not celebrities but rather His servants. Yet the glam of God is coming to all, to every born again disciple who follows Jesus on His stated terms – to the end (Matthew 10; 24; 1 Corinthians 2:9; Revelation 21). Are you the devil’s dupe that is forfeiting the divine dividends coming to His true saints,  His “little flock”? (Luke 12:32)

Imagine suffering the vengeance of eternal fire, enveloped in and consciously experiencing the flames of eternal damnation because you foolishly squandered your temporary life on earth on things that held no eternal value. … Without exception, when a man truly repents, Jesus is His Master, LORD, Savior, and “first love,” first priority (Revelation 2:4-5).

“We must beware of thinking too much about our meals, our furniture, our houses, and all those many things which concern the life of the body. We must strive to live like people whose first thoughts are about the immortal soul. We must endeavor to pass through the world like people who are not yet at home, and are not so troubled about the fare they meet with on the road and at the inn. Blessed are they who feel like pilgrims and strangers in this life, and whose best things are all to come.” JC Ryle

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end (eternal divine government), upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:6-7

Any person who thinks that ANY form of man’s government, NWO, reset, NESARA, GESARA is going to solve man’s SIN problem, is deceived. And, they will be the ones snared by the enemy of all souls and miss the kingdom of Christ!

“upon whom the ends of the world are come” …

Ministry work always comes with “much contention.” There is a devil and he has human agents. Jesus will settle every score, will balance every scale. He’s coming soon.

“But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God WITH MUCH CONTENTION.” 1 Thessalonians 2:2 

Psalm 126

”

Have you ever done the right thing for a period of time and been dissatisfied with the result? Most likely not, right? in fact, we are most happy when we do the right thing. Looking back we are truly blessed, truly comforted with the result which is a clean, clear conscience, etc. Is this the way we will feel when and if we get to glory?

If you will look back and be happy for your life on earth, you must learn the cross …. which is the only way to walk with, to abide in Christ – on His non-negotiable terms – where you are dead and buried and He’s raising you upward in His divine power (2 Corinthians 4:10-12).

You are in a war for your very soul and you must fight to win!

In comparison to the coming, unending eternal glory that awaits, that which we suffer here is a mere speed bump…

“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Are you being imbued, possessed with an eternal perspective?

“Rest with us” – “comfort one another with these words” of Christ’s soon return!

The disciples of Jesus at the town of Thessalonica were being persecuted for their faith, their relationship with our LORD Jesus. The Holy Spirit through Paul comforted them – to know that this will all be over soon.

“And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: 12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Thessalonians 1:7-12

Future Rest

Contrasting the Eternal “Rest” of the Wicked with the “Rest” of the Righteous

Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and THEY HAVE NO REST day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, THAT THEY MAY REST FROM THEIR LABOURS; and their works do follow them.

Jesus promised that “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

“And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.” Romans 8:17-24

Psa 2:11  Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Psa 2:12  Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Firstly, “be not deceived” …

One writer noted: “The whole entire world was promised to the believer. Remember that as you see this world crumbling.. this story has the greatest ending ever possible. First we receive incorruptible.. perfection.. Then we witness true justice.. Then we live forever in this world remade with all (New Creation) that no one has ever imagined. Scripture teaches we will be made above the angels. Now we are below them, and animals are below us. I’ve always imagined that we will be able to move between the spirit and flesh world.. simply by thought.. which would mean travel would be instant.. and the Stars our playground.”

We do know that Jesus is coming to put down all rebellion and set up His Government, His reign on HIS earth (Isaiah 9:6-7; Psalms 24:1; 1 Corinthians 15:50-58; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:11-16, etc.). None of us know exactly how this will all end as far as our country is concerned. And, as Christ’s disciples, letting God be God and not trying to usurp His place, we are simply fighting the good fight of faith right where God has us on HIS planet – against the evil and evil doers of our day.

Before we were born, before we were even in our mother’s womb, God put a calling upon each of our lives (Jeremiah 1:5). Upon each and every one of us is a general calling of God and a specific calling… And the LORD holds each one of us responsible to fulfill His calling upon us. Colossians 4:16

Very soon, with no exception, every soul of mankind will see that the Gospel of Jesus Christ was the truth and that all that contradicted was fake news spawned by the enemy of souls.

Will you be happy at the decisions you made on earth? OR, will you live in eternal regret? Well, if you are reading these words, you can finish strong and the way we finish is what’s most import! Today is the first day of the rest of your life on this planet!

in the final days, many who once knew the LORD will turn away from the truth and will turn to stories …..

2 Timothy 4:1-8

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2  Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5  But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

6  For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

7  I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

8  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Looking back in eternity, will you relish the reality of never turn away from the doctrine of God’s Word? Will have have endured, held yourself accountable to sound doctrine? Will you have unrelentingly held forth the words of God? Will you have endure afflictions for Christ’s Gospel? Will you have fought a good fight, finished your course, and kept the faith?

Or, will you have given heed to

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2  Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;”  1 Timothy 4:1-2

Jesus Christ alone is LORD Almighty, Heaven’s KING of all kings – and that means that anyone else asserting themselves between God and you, is an antichrist fraud!

Will you be forever glad of the decision you made in your temporary life on earth? Or, will you live in eternal remorse?

John 14:1-6

Jesus is the only way and following Him begins with repenting and receiving Him as the LORD of your life on this earth. And, following through, enduring to the end follow Him and no other. Heaven will be populated with those who loved and served the Son of God on HIS stated terms.

The Cost of Discipleship – Luke 14

“And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, 
26  If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 
27  And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 
28  For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 
29  Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 
30  Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 
31  Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 
32  Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. 
33  So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:25-33

Many will be surprised

”  Matthew 7:21

Want to see who’s going to be forever thrilled they hearkened to and obey the voice of God on earth?

How many people do you know who attend “church” and simultaneously have a daily life in God’s Word for themselves? The vast majority of professing Christians have replaced personally seeking the face of the LORD with church attendance. Repent now – before it’s too late!

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

As was the case with Daniel and the 3 Hebrew children in Babylon and Mordecai, Esther, and the Jews in the days of Haman, so the wicked plot against the just. But God always wins – and the right shall be ever with the LORD!

“For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. 11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. 13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. 14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. 15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.” Psalms 37:9-15

Short-lived devilish endeavor ….. Think about this divine truth in connection with the wicked who seek to control GOD’s green earth. Did you know He’s laughing at them on His throne in Heaven? Read Psalm 2 KJB right now. Amazing.
“That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?” Job 20:5

“Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
2Th 1:8  In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2Th 1:9  Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
2Th 1:10  When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
2Th 1:11  Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
2Th 1:12  That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Thessalonians 1:5-12

“The last enemy” is getting ready to be “destroyed”! “For he (Jesus) must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” (1 Corinthians 15:25-26)

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21:4

“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” 2 Timothy 2:3-4

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8

All these people legislating evil are sentencing themselves to eternal damnation, irrevocably. The flames of eternal damnation shall never cease to envelope and feed upon their helpless conscious souls! Revelation 20:15

 

Isaiah 10

Isa 10:1  Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; 

Isa 10:2  To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless! 

Isa 10:3  And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
