Many out there in the Christian blogoshere might be wondering why I am posting on this topic? The thought that might be ringing through people's heads being, "What does Randy Rhoads have to do with biblical Christianity or prophetic events?" Well… my dear friends let me fill you in... and be a little personal.

Randy Rhoads; who was the original guitarist of Quiet Riot in the ’70s and then came to stardom and the height of notoriety as Ozzy’s… yes… Ozzy's guitarist! It is absolutely amazing how time flies. I cannot believe it has been 42 years since his March 19th plane crash! To this day I have NEVER forgotten that anniversary. There has always been something about Randy and his untimely death that still haunts me and his person that has had a very special place in my heart. I cannot explain it. I know it sounds odd and corny (especially to believers) but that is my past, what can I say? Before I came to Christ in 1992, I myself was lock stock and barrel sold into the music industry and a huge cultic follower of Ozzy Osbourne and the rock culture. You could say that I definitely sold my soul to Rock n Roll. I played guitar and played in several bands and all that knew me knew that I greatly admired Randy Rhoads. For what it is worth even my guitar was black with white pock - a – dots! Yes! I was a huge follower.
To this day I have NEVER forgotten that anniversary. There has always been something about Randy and his untimely death that still haunts me and his person that has had a very special place in my heart. I cannot explain it.
To all of us who were (me) and are into the music industry or followed it, Randy Rhoads was a guitar god and a legend. His guitar playing changed all the rules and techniques of his day and brought a more technical, professional and classical approach and style to the rock genre. Randy’s playing and genius in applying guitar scales were unique. Randy was very passionate in his playing and rooted and grounded in music theory and the list goes on. In light of all the rock’s guitarists, none has ever moved, motivated, inspired and has been more beloved by an industry than Randy Rhoads. Tragically on March 19th 1982, Randy was killed in a plane crash cutting short his life and his guitar genius. His tragic death left a GAPING VOID in the rock world of that day which has NEVER been filled. The daily countless thoughts of Randy’s fans and admirers ponder and wonder, oh… what could have been and why him? They continually ring throughout the music world even today 42 years later!! Unlike the majority of all rock guitarists in that filthy industry; arrogant, proud, haughty, narcissistic and lewd, Randy was very different.
His unique and humble personality has stood out in a narcissistic and opportunist industry and that has left a greater legacy than the genius of his wondrous guitar playing.
.
In the later months of his life, Randy became highly admired and respected not for just his playing and total professionalism, but for being the complete opposite of those in the rock industry and world. As a 14-year-old boy that is what I admired the most about Randy. I could identify with him on that. Randy was humble, kind, caring and considerate and totally not a poser. He was – as silly as this might sound to some - a role model in a godless and decadent world which kids so desperately wanted. He loved to teach guitar and loved his family very much. Many have been greatly influenced by Randy, not just for his playing but for the kind of person that he was. His unique and humble personality has stood out in a narcissistic and opportunist industry and that has left a greater legacy than the genus of his wondrous guitar playing.
Randy’s upbringing according to his brother Kelle and his beloved mother was that of a strong “Lutheran” Christian rearing and after years of rebelling against those foundational teachings from his youth, Randy’s conscience was beginning to convict him of being a part of that lifestyle. .
It has been told by many including Randy’s mother, brother Kelle, Rudy Sarzo and Ozzy himself that Randy in the last year or so of his life wanted OUT of the godless, drug-induced rock industry to further a musical career as a classical guitarist. As told by many Randy did not drink or do drugs which is unheard of in that decadent and godless society. It is also said that Randy had become very serious in his personality and that touring with Ozzy had really changed him. I truly believe that the life in that godless industry was beginning to turn his stomach and he wanted out. I personally know (by personal experience) that at the age of 24 (not that I was ever at Randy’s level or sphere) I could not be a part of it anymore and adhere to my conservative “religious Christian” upbringing. I believe that this is what Randy might have been thinking near the end of his life. What is most mysterious and an important insight is that on the night before Rhoads' death, Sharon Osbourne stated that Randy said to her: "I don't think I want to be a rock 'n' roller anymore". Why would Randy ever make that statement at the height of his fame unless he saw what that industry was all about? Randy’s upbringing according to his brother Kelle and his beloved mother was that of a strong “Lutheran” Christian rearing and after years of rebelling against those foundational teachings from his youth, Randy’s conscience was beginning to convict him being a part of that godless lifestyle. Randy’s Brother Kelle had shared that touring and playing with Ozzy was causing conflict in his mind due to his upbringing. Who knows? Out on the road away from friends and family, one is more open to evaluating one’s life and what it all means. The big lights of fame and the countless concerts of fans praising you after a while do not seem to satisfy one anymore (Eccl.). There comes a time in one's life that one looks outside of themselves for the TRUE meaning of our existence here in time.
What is most mysterious and an important insight is that on the night before Rhoads' death, Sharon Osbourne stated that Randy said to her: "I don't think I want to be a rock 'n' roller anymore".
One begins to think and evaluate who one is; what is the meaning of life, reflecting on one’s past and upbringing and in the fear of one’s accountability to Almighty God (Job 28:28, Prov. 1:7). All of Ozzy’s drunken, drug-induced lifestyle, demonic cross waving and anti-biblical personality had to affect Randy. It went against all that he was taught growing up and night after night of it must have finally come to ahead. It must have been then that Randy shared with Sharon that he wanted out of Rock n Roll after doing it since his early teens. Many of these private ponderings and thoughts individuals keep to themselves as they wrestle with them in their hearts ever seeking to justify them or objectively condemning them. If this was the case with Randy I do not know, it might have been. Whatever the case with Randy there was a change taking place in his life and people saw it. The rest, unfortunately, is a great mystery and that is what hooks people till this day about Randy Rhoads, the countless thoughts of the unknown and the thoughts of what would have been.
One begins to think and evaluate about whom one is; what is the meaning of life, reflecting on one’s past and upbringing and in the fear of one’s accountability to Almighty God.
The thought that I want to share about this anniversary is that no matter who we are or what we are or the manner of our living whether good or evil, in the end, we ALL will give an account to our Creator in that Last Day (Matt. 7:21-23, Rev. 20:10-15). Almighty God is perfectly RIGHTEOUS in ALL that He allows and does not allow in this fallen world (Gen. 18:25, Rom. 3:5). Whether Randy Rhoads had a saving relationship to Jesus Christ in spirit and truth at the end of his life is unknown (John 4:24, 14:6, Acts 4:12, Rev. 21:27). Tragically Randy’s followers on this 39th anniversary all will picture him to be in “heaven”, a “heaven” which is after THEIR OWN subjective fallen design and delusional reality. My dear friend’s it is IN DEATH that our ETERNAL sobering summons to stand before our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator Almighty God to give an account for what we have done in our bodies in this fallen world is called (2 Chron. 19:7, Eccl. 3:17, 12:13-14, Heb. 9:27). We do not want to pretend with our fallen delusional reasoning that we in our own deeds are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and RIGHTEOUS to stand before our Creator. For who is there that EVER lived (virtuous or vile) that has NOT TRANSGRESSED against Almighty God's ETERNAL PERFECT RIGHTEOUS ABSOLUTES (John 3:36, Rom. 3:23)? My dear friend, REALITY is desperately needed in this hour and day, for we will all give an account, maybe even tonight perhaps to Almighty God (Rom. 14:12, 1 Peter.4:5). We do not know when our hour will be at hand but we must be ready! ETERNITY is always before us (Job, 27:8, Prov. 10:2, 27:1, Luke 12:19-20, Rev. 20:11-15)!
Almighty God is perfectly RIGHTEOUS in ALL that He allows and does not allow in this fallen world. Whether Randy Rhoads had as saving relationship to Jesus Christ in spirit and truth at the end of his life is unknown.
We are in a horrific and desperate need for Divine propitiation and a Savior.
My dear friends as millions reflect on the 42nd anniversary of the tragedy of Randy’s death, may we look OUTSIDE of the box of this fallen and temporal world to see the ETERNAL in light of this little temporal life here on planet earth. My dear friends, it is all about ETERNITY, will YOU be ready?
Almighty God is absolutely just in all that He does and allows. He has allowed and used Randy’s tragic death to get people’s attention and to teach us all just how brief, frail, tragic and temporal our little existence truly is here on planet earth. The question that we must ask ourselves is will we pay FULL attention? Whether Randy in the last days of his life came to know Jesus Christ as his personal Savior no one knows, but Almighty God PERFECTLY gave him every opportunity to do so, just as He is doing for all alive on planet earth at present (John 16: 8-11, Rom. 2:4). No one will EVER die without having every opportunity to hear the SAVING Gospel of Jesus Christ. For, in the END, it is OUR own personal freewill that will make our ETERNAL decision (John 1:12, 3:16-17, Acts 16:29-31). In the GRACE and MERCY of Almighty God, I have personally made my decision. Though I wrestled with Almighty God for years He wondrously in His ETERNAL love and kindness gave me some time to beat my drum and to exhaust all of my delusional thinking (Rom. 2:4). In the end, Almighty God showed me how desperately I needed Him and how gracious to me He truly was. I have received Jesus Christ and His ETERNAL saving solution for me - a transgressor and sinner - and I have NEVER looked back (John 1:12, 2 Cor. 5:17-21, Eph. 2:1-10)! How could any look back? You see I can absolutely identify with Randy's life, not that I ever lived on his level, but our lives were very similar. The lifestyle of that industry may be enjoyable for a season, but there is no way anyone can find fulfillment in it let alone serve Almighty God in it. Almighty God is calling OUT any who will hear His voice and have an ear to hear (Matt. 13:18-23, Mark 4:9). Do YOU have an ear to hear? That is the ETERNAL question at hand.
Almighty God is absolutely just in all that He does and allows. He has used Randy’s tragic death to get people’s attention and to teach us all just how brief, frail, tragic and temporal our little existence truly is here on planet earth.
Whatever choice Randy made about his ETERNITY if he could tell us anything he would communicate to all that loved him how desperately crucial it is for one to have Almighty God's ETERNAL pardon and redemption found ONLY in Jesus Christ - pro or con (John 3:16-17, 36, 11:25-26, Rev. 20:11-15, 21-22:1-5). My friends, I am sure many will misunderstand this post and be enraged. They will NOT be objective and evaluated it based on the REALITIES of Almighty God’s Word, but it is my sincere desire that at least one out of the millions will consider the WONDERFUL saving grace of Almighty God. For, in the end, that is what this life and brief existence on planet earth is all about! It's up... TO... YOU... to choose. What will it be?
Not exactly the words one wants to ever hear from his supervisor. But what if you were fired from a toilsome and difficult job, in a dirty and dangerous place, only to be hired by a perfect Employer, for a perfect job, in a beautiful place of countless blessings and rewards?
The Bible teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ will reign over a literal one-thousand-year kingdom on this earth from His throne in Jerusalem one day (Isa. 2:1-4;11, Zech. 14:9-21, Rev. 20:4-5). Sadly, for too many believers, this truth almost seems like a fairy tale because they simply don’t mix faith with the Word of God (Heb. 4:2; 11:1, 6). In today’s study we will consider some of the characteristics of this future Kingdom, things that will and things that will not be done “in all his holy mountain”.
He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron!
As part of His glorious return to earth, the Lord Jesus Christ will break both the power of the nations as well as the curse that has been on the earth since Adam’s sin (Isa. 11:1-9; 35, Rom. 5:12-21). Revelation 19:15 says that, “out of His mouth go’s a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.” Psalm 2 as well as the prophetic books of Isaiah, Daniel, and Zechariah all echo this absolute victory that Jesus Christ will bring to His people Israel and in turn to the whole earth (Isa. 24:21-22, Dan. 2:44-45, Zech. 12:3-4; 14:1-3).
But putting down earth’s rebellion is only the start. The Bible also teaches that the One who wore a crown of thorns will also remove the curse from which they grew. Zechariah 14:8-9 tells of this wonderful healing that will begin when the King of the Kingdom is received. "And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one."
How Will We Serve the King? .
Well first, let’s think about some jobs and industries which will no longer be needed in the Kingdom Age. This of course only represents a partial list, as it is impossible to envision just how fully the curse has affected the earth and how much effort mankind spends fighting the consequences of it (Gen. 3:17-19).
It goes without saying that all employment in immoral industries such as Casinos, Nightclubs and Liquor Stores will be gone. While it’s true that there will be unsaved people born during the Kingdom years, all sinful activity will be held in check by the omniscient and instant judgment of God (Ps. 2:9, Isa. 11:4, Rev. 19:15).
Gone too, will be all branches of the military and all factories that manufacture munitions and weapons of war. Every military academy across the world will close as Almighty God’s Word declares , “he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plow shares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” Micah 4:3.
While it’s true that there will be unsaved people born during the Kingdom years, all sinful activity will be held in check by the omniscient and instant judgment of God
There will no longer be a need for policemen, law enforcement, night watchmen or guards of any kind. All prisons will be closed and there will be no employment relating to the criminal justice system or courts, whether at the state, local, or federal level. This means no judges, lawyers, bail bondsmen, bounty hunters or private detectives.
Since the only people that will die during the Kingdom years are those who commit an open act of rebellion, there will be no hospitals, doctors, nurses, convalescence homes, emergency responders or search and rescue personnel. Drug stores and the pharmacists’ they employ will no longer be necessary and no one will research diseases, run charities or lobby for a social cause. Both the psychiatrist and the psychologist will find different employment for lack of customers.
While farming will still be practiced, good crops will grow naturally and it will be impossible to grow a weed. Both the pesticide and fertilizer industry will cease and there will be no need for either the veterinarian or the exterminator. Instead of back-breaking work, during the Kingdom, farming and gardening will be fun!
Since the weather and climate will be perfect, there will be no weathermen to try and predict it or insurance companies to sell products that protect against it. Manufacturing will cease for any and all products that battle rust, corrosion, mold and decay. Even the cosmetic industry will stop as there will be no battle against the ravages of the aging process.
So what then will believers do and how will they serve the King of kings in the Kingdom?
The Lord Jesus taught that the key was faithfulness. “And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.” Luke 19:17. By inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul reminded believers, “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” 1 Corinthians 4:2.
Jesus will give each believer a perfect position in the Kingdom based on their faithfulness to Him today.
The Lord told his disciples, “Fear not little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32. God told Israel, “as a young man marries a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.” Isaiah 62:5. The Lord Jesus Christ loves us as his bride (Eph. 5:23-32)!
God promised by the prophet Zechariah, “In that day, says the LORD of hosts, everyone will invite his neighbor under his vine and under his fig tree.” Zechariah 3:10.
What a beautiful description of the coming Kingdom. Just as in Solomon’s day, where every tribe and family of Israel was given their own piece of property by the Lord, Zechariah assures us that the whole earth will be settled in peace and safety when the “greater than Solomon” rules with a “rod of iron” (Ps. 2:9, Isa. 11:4, Matt. 12:42, Rev. 19:15). There will be no need for locks on your doors or high fences to keep your neighbors honest.
Some might be thinking after these reflections on the Kingdom, can anything be greater? You had better be sitting down!
At the conclusion of the thousand year Kingdom on earth, God will create a new heaven and a new earth where all believers of all ages will live with Him forever.
At the conclusion of the thousand year Kingdom on earth, God will create a new heaven and a new earth where all believers of all ages will live with Him forever (Isa. 66:22, 2 Peter 3:13, Rev. 21-22:1-5). As wonderful as we have seen that this earthly Kingdom will be, the ETERNAL dwelling place with Christ will be exponentially better!
The Apostle Paul said, “I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knows) such a one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knows) how that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.” 2 Corinthians 12:2-4.
Paul could only say that it would be a crime to try and describe with earthly language the beauty of God’s heaven. If you only had in your language the words, “wet”, “soaked”, “damp” and “moist” could you describe to someone the vast and glorious Pacific Ocean? What would you tell them? It’s really, really damp! It’s a large wet and moist place! To even attempt it would be a crime!
Is it any wonder that God let Satan give Paul a thorn in the flesh after he had been given an eye witness view of such heavenly things (2 Cor. 12:7)?
Let us therefore keep our eye’s fixed on our Savior, remembering the future He has planned for us, while we labor in the valley, introducing others to the Good Shepherd who longs to bring them to such heights as well.
For, “without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6
The perfect Boss, the perfect job, perfect co-workers, in a perfect place, with perfect pay, and an endless day…what a Rewarder indeed! .
DMG I.F.
The official commencement of the seven year tribulation period will begin with the breaking of the 1st seal of the Lamb of Almighty God (Rev. 6:1), the Lord Jesus Messiah; in which the "Confirming of the Covenant" of the Prince shall commence Dan. 9:27). It will be at this precise moment that the man of lawlessness (i.e., the anti-Christ) will be revealed unto the entire world and he will begin his ride seeking to destroy Israel with many (Dan. 9:27, 2 Thess. 2: 3-12). This revealing of the Anti-Christ and the commencement of this seven year tribulation period will begin when this man (i.e., the Prince which is to come) adds his human position of great power and authority to a covenant AGAINST Israel with an abundance of peoples and nations (Ezek. 38:8,11-12, Dan. 9: 27).
This revealing of the Anti-Christ and the commencement of this seven
year tribulation period will begin when this man (i.e., the Prince which
is to come) adds his human position of great power and authority to a covenant against Israel with an abundance of peoples and nations.
Israel - at this time of the confirming of this covenant - will simultaneously receive the Divine SUPERNATURAL PROTECTION of Almighty God’s Two Witnesses(Moses and Elijah), who will also begin their ministry for 1260 days and possess Almighty God's Divine authority. These Two Witnesses of Almighty God will be EXTREMELY MORE POWERFUL than the Prince of Daniel 9:27 and his global confederacy against Israel. These Two will be used throughout the first half of this tribulation period by Almighty God to make His RIGHTEOUS ETERNAL Person known to a full blown godless world and unbelieving Israel (Rev. 11:3-6). Israel - at the Divine hands of these Two Witnesses - will then have rest and dwell in their land in safety from their global enemies and global tribulation for a season because of the Two Witnesses ministry unto them (Ezek. 38:8,11-12, Matt. 24:4-8, Rev. 11:3-7). This position of safety at the hand of Almighty God - via His Two Witnesses - does not mean that Israel's heart will be right with Almighty God, for it will not be (Ezek, 39:26, Rev. 11:8). Though they dwell in safety and unwalled villages, they will be at war with these Two Witnesses and their Divine assignmentand message that Jesus IS the Messiah and that they are now to repent for the appointed time of the Kingdom of Heaven is seven years away (Deut. 4:30, Jer. 30:4-7, Ezek. 39:26, Dan. 9:27, 12:1, Rom. 1:18-32, Rev. 11:2, 8)!.
These Two Witnesses
of Almighty God will be extremely more powerful and than the anti -
Christ and his global confederacy against Israel and will be used
throughout the first half of this tribulation period by Almighty God to
make His RIGHTEOUS ETERNAL Person known to a full blown godless world
and unbelieving Israel.
These Two Lamp stands of Almighty God (Moses and Elijah) will preach salvation in Jesus Messiah, re- institute the altar, seek to build the temple and re-institute the sacrifices and its priesthood. They will have power to wield ALL plagues on the earth at any time and decimate any people, nation and enemy which seeks to hinder their Divine ministry (Dan. 9:27, Matt. 24:15, 2 Thess. 2:4, Rev. 11:3-6). These Two will then prepare the remnant of believing Jews and a chosen 144,000 Jewish men - from the 12 tribes of Israel - (Matt. 24:14, Rev. 7:4-8, 11:13) for their global ministry unto ALL of the nations of the earth after their execution, resuscitation and accession at the hands of the beast whose deadly wound has been healed (Rev. 11:7, Matt. 24:14, Mark 13:10, Rev. 7). It will be at this time - the first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation period - that the WORLD will seek every and any opportunity to root out and destroy these Two Divinely appointed vessels of Almighty God and the nation of Israel... but all to NO avail (Mal. 4:4-6, Rev. 7,14:1-4,11:3-8). While Israel dwells in safety under the Divine ministry of Moses and Elijah, the world will be experiencing the EXPONENTIAL Seal and Trumpet Judgments of Almighty God (Rev. 6-9).
While Israel dwells in safety under the Divine ministry of Moses and
Elijah, the world will be experiencing the EXPONENTIAL Seal and Trumpet
Judgments of Almighty God. .
It will be at this time - at the beginning of this seven year period, while Israel now begins to dwell in their land in absolute safety (Ezek. 38:8,11,12,14) - that the WHOLE GENTILE WORLD will begin to be trodden down by the Divine judgments of the Lamb, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Trumpet Judgments, the release of millions of demons from the abyss, the four fallen angels bound in the Euphrates and 3.5 billion war casualties (Rev. 6-9). This covenant agreement with the Prince and the countless "many" against Israel will begin the demise of the godless nations of the world and all their evil desires and designs against Israel will backfire on them; for the Day of His Wrath has now begun, and the Lamb's kingdom reign is just seven years away (Dan. 2:43-44;7:13-14, Zech. 12:10-14, Rev. 1:7; 8:14-17; 6:19:11-21)!
Do you know the Savior of the world, the Lamb of Almighty God? Dear friends, please be sure that you do, for ALL your ETERNITY depends on it!
As we look at the 6000 years of human history; we find ourselves in this present day, at the accumulative technological EXPONENTIALLY superabounding depot for EXPONENTIAL population growth, technological advancement (in all sciences and warfare), in global depravity, lawlessness, godlessness, and global demonic oppression (Dan. 12:1-4).
We are living in the last days EXPONENTIAL end tmes harvest season!
When we are fully able to observe these things from this perspective, we truly know that we are absolutely near the end of this age and the Day of the Lord is at hand (Matt. 24; Rev. 6-19)! When ETERNALLY Divine spiritual laws and their absolutes along with their moral laws and absolutes are willingly despised, abhorred, violated, ravished, and transgressed; you will always find the negative consequences of their violation and their destructive fruits (Rom. 1:18-32; Gal. 5:19-21)!
All today is heading EXPONENTIALLY to the Day of the Lord and to Satan's 666 world EXPONENTIAL lawless world!
When an EXPONENTIAL day is EXPONENTIALLY seeking demonic darkness, godlessness, and lawlessness, it will produce the ultimate man of lawlessness and a global war against Almighty God, which in the end, will lead to the Battle of Armageddon (Dan. 7:8,11,12,24-26; 2 Thess. 2:3-12; Rev. 13; 16:13-16).
When an EXPONENTIAL day is EXPONENTIALLY seeking global demonic darkness, godlessness, and lawlessness it will produce the man of lawlessness and a global war against Almighty God!
The answer is quite simple; Adam's fallen humanity with all of their being truly LOVE death, darkness, error, licentiousness, moral relativism, idolatry, etc., etc. for that is why the gate is very wide which leads to ETERNAL ruin!
The answer is quite simple; Adam's fallen humanity with all of their being truly LOVE death, darkness, error, licentiousness, moral relativism, idolatry, etc., etc. for that is why the gate is very wide which leads to ETERNAL ruin (Matt. 7:13-14; John 3:19-21; Rom. 1:18-32). It doesn't matter whatever one's moral or lawless bent is for unbelief, is unbelief, is unbelief...; and unless one is born again by faith in Jesus Christ, the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS PROPITIATION and ATONING Mediator between God and man in RIGHTEOUSNESS; one will die in their sins, violations and trespasses (John 3:16;17, 1 John 4:10; Rev. 20:11-15)!
It doesn't matter whatever one's moral or lawless bent is for unbelief, is unbelief, is unbelief...; and unless one is born again by faith in Jesus Christ, the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS PROPITIATION and ATONING Mediator between God and man in RIGHTEOUSNESS; one will die in their sins, violations, and trespasses!
It will be at the end of the church age at the Rapture that the global EXPONENTIAL ACCUNMINATED lawlessness of man will reach its zenith in rebellion and lawlessness and run straight into the Day of the Lord and His RIGHTEOUS Wrath (Rev. 6-19)! The Book of Revelation is all about a godless world's EXPONENTIAL rebellion against its ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator (Rom. 1:18-32)!
Unregenerate humanity is hiding from Almighty God much like Adam was when he first sinned and deep down inside they know why they are hiding, they LOVE their darkness and are LOVER of it!
Oh, that man would only truly trust Almighty God their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and call on Him for ETERNAL deliverance and salvation (John 1:12, Acts 4:12; 16:29-31)! Lawlessness only destroys ETERNALLY, yet an unregenerate man is hooked on it as heroin to an addict and pushes all hands away from those who seek to help to deliver in RIGHTEOUSNESS(Isa. 30:15; 53:6; Jer. 10:23; 17:9; John 1:9-11; 8:24; Rom. 1:18-32)! Unregenerate humanity is hiding from Almighty God much like Adam was when he first sinned and deep down inside they know why they are hiding, they LOVE their darkness and are LOVER of it (Gen. 3:9-11, John 3:19-21)! Note how Adam knew his sin and then try to blame Eve (Gen. 3:9-12). Unregenerate man is always seeking to self preservate himself at all costs to hold on to their love of darkness. This my friend is the biblical RIGHTEOUS diagnosis of Adam's fallen race and why all desperately need the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Jesus for one's ETERNAL well-being (Isa. 53; John 11:25-26, Rom. 10:2-4; Gal. 1:4)!

My dear friend, are you a hider today? One who hides from Almighty God in the cloak of demonic darkness (Gen. 3:6-11; John 3:19-21; Eph. 2:1-3)? Are you hiding in your traditions, family, culture, political party, skin color, "good" works, vices, social justice crusades, career, global movements, conservatism, liberalism, marxism, religiousness, abortion rights, pro-life passions, greeds, creeds, violence, gangs, humanitarian institutions, genders, sports, movies, etc., etc.? What are you hiding in that will keep you from coming to the ETERNAL Light of Almighty God your ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator, who so loved you that He came forth from Heaven's glory to die for your sins and transgressions (Isa. 53, John 1:1-12; Heb. 1:2-3; 1 John 4:10)! Almighty God is calling out to you today and will you come out of hiding and come into the ETERNAL Light of His presence (John 3:19-21)? Oh, my dear friends, I was once a hider and I ran from the Lord because I loved my darkness, but in Almighty God's grace and mercy He came after me until I saw my hiding place for what it was (John 3:19-21; 1 Cor. 6:9-11; 2 Cor. 5:17-21, Eph. 2:1-14)! It will be 30 years this October that Almighty God delivered me ETERNALLY from my hiding place and my death and I am here to tell you that LIFE and LIGHT in Christ are ETERNALLY superior to a life in darkness and sin! If you are a hider, I want to challenge you to come to the LIGHT of RIGHTEOUSNESS and see for yourself and place your ETERNAL trust in Jesus for your ETERNAL deliverance and salvation!
Today's America is an EXPONENTIAL lawless swamp; full of demonic alligators, demonic tyranny, and demonic strongholds; oppressing, enslaving, and chaining millions (Eph.6:12). O that America would cry out to their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator for ETERNAL salvation and deliverance from His RIGHTEOUS judgment (John 3:16-17, 36)! Our cry as blood-bought saints to America is not, "God bless America", but "God SAVE Americans!" Almighty
God’s Word states overabundantly and emphatically that it is Jesus ALONE that rescues, saves, and delivers one's soul from ETERNAL ruin (John 3:16-17, 14:6, Acts 4:12, 16:29-31)!We pray for Americans every day that they would wake up and place their trust in Almighty God, and have eyes to see that this sinking nation is on the brink of doom (2 Cor. 4:2-4)!
Our cry as blood bought saints to America is not, "God bless America", but "God save Americans!"
He will ABSOLUTELY deliver you from you and set you free, and you will NEVER be the same! Dear friend, this is the God honest truth my beloved; Have faith in Almighty God and BELIEVE and you will be set FOREVER FREE!
My dear friend, do YOU personally know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior? There is great pardon and forgiveness to all that call upon His name (Eph. 2:1-10, 2 Cor. 5:17-21)! As the Day of the Lord
approaches ever more closely and man’s plague laden remedies fail to
contain the EXPONENTIAL fiscal and social damage and consequences
unleashed today by man’s lawless addictions to the demons released from
Pandora’s Box, May Almighty God be your refuge and strength! The Messiah (Christ) of Almighty God is America's
inhabitants ONLY HOPE in these very turbulent days before the Day of the
Lord FULLY arrives (Rev. 6-19). Be sure you personally know Him and His saving grace!
The Four Horsemen MUST ride... and no present-day "conservative movement" will stop them from their EXPONENTIALLY DESTRUCTIVE global ride and rampage!
Mankind has exhausted ALL of its avenues and efforts and as we have seen first hand here in America that we as a nation have NOT gotten better but EXPONENTIALLY more lawless and morally and spiritually depraved! My dear friends... the Four Horsemen MUST ride... and no present-day "conservative movement" will stop them from their EXPONENTIALLY DESTRUCTIVE global ride and rampage (Rev. 6)! We are seeing nationally the EXPONENTIAL disintegration of the rule of law right before our very eyes and once America implodes at the Rapture; what then for this world? Do NOT be deceived today! Almighty God cries out to ALL Americans today, Repent and be saved for the Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand (Acts 4:12, 16:29-31, 17:29-31, 1 Tim. 2:3-6)!
It will be just after the Rapture of the Body of Christ (i.e., the Church), that the "Day of the Lord" (the Seven Year Tribulation period) will commence with the opening of the "first seal" by the Lamb of Almighty God and the riding of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will begin; and WOE! WOE! WOW! to the inhabitants of the earth in that day (Rev. 6)! .
There is absolutely nothing at present that can hinder this final lawless consumption of global 666.
Almighty God’s Day of wrath is truly at hand (Rev 6-19)! An objective evaluation of the global climate and conditions of our hour truly testifies to this very sobering reality. One must ask himself, “Will I hold on to my delusional subjective earthly perception or will I let go of my subjective establish perspective and have FAITH in Almighty God and His Word?” To comprehend this day and hour one MUST absolutely possess an objective Heavenly and ETERNAL perception of our day and sees the realities of it through a biblical lens. My friend unless you are regenerated by faith in Jesus Christ (born again) as Jesus stated, you can NOT see, yet comprehend the Kingdom of God, let alone the coming Kingdom of Heaven and hour in which they live in. You will remain imprisoned in the delusional fantasy of make-believe and changed in your darkened mind (2 Thess. 2:9-12). .
As the great American experiment is coming to a horrific conclusion what hope is there for any American in this present evil world?

As the great American experiment is coming to a horrific conclusion, what hope is there for any American in this present evil world? As our Founding Fathers warned us of what would be when immorality and godlessness reign. May the American people look objectivity outside of this world’s limited confines to a place of absolute security and assurance, that place is none other than the heavenly throne room of Almighty God (Rev. 4, 5). Access is ONLY granted by a saving relationship to Almighty God through His Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17, Gal. 1:4, Eph. 2:8-9). When one places their trust in Almighty God’s saving solution and remedy in spirit and truth (John 4:24), God will save (deliver) that one from the limited, temporal confines of this fallen world and race (Rom. 5:12-19, Gal. 1:4).
