Why the Left Abhors Ann Coulter

One of the greatest voices for conservatism today in America is Ann Coulter. Ann is a proud conservative - fearless and passionate about the Laws of Nature and the adherence to them for freedom, liberty and a healthy, productive society. Her insight, perception, intelligence and ability in debating the issues of the day are second to none.

Why Do Progressives Abhor Conservatism?

In light of the riots in Ottawa over Ann Coulter’s campus appearance on Tuesday, we can see first-hand what Conservatism and belief in the Laws of Nature do to those who abhor them.

So why are conservatives like Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, etc., hated so violently by the Progressive Left and the Secularists of the world?
.
The Progressive Secularists hate with a passion Natural Laws, those who honor them and those who seek to hold individuals accountable to them.

Natural Laws, Morality, Spiritual Absolutes and especially Judean/ Christian values are a threat to the Progressive mind and its godless ideology. They view these absolutes as fascist, despotic, and tyrannical. They will do all in their power to overthrow these values and virtues to protect their unbridled passions of lawlessness and own secular interests.

"They (The Progressive) are constantly looking for a scapegoat for their self-inflicted consequences of their reprobate lifestyles. These poor souls are ever trapped in a tyrannical cycle of anarchy"

Progressives are mostly dominated by their narcissistic, “Eros” ego which shapes their perception of the world. There are led about by their unstable emotional reasoning and unbridled passions, and they are full of rage due to the outworking of them. They are constantly looking for a scapegoat for their self-inflicted consequences of their reprobate lifestyles. These poor souls are ever trapped in a tyrannical cycle of anarchy (Isa. 48:22, 57:21, 59:8, Romans 1:18-32, Jude 1:10). Because of their pride (narcissism) and hatred they cannot find it in themselves to repent (change) from their lawless ways, and so they attempt to justify and defend themselves tooth and nail (Romans 1:18-32; 2 Thess. 2:10-12).

As much as these hate and abhor the Natural Laws of God and Creation, nothing incites their hatred and fury as those who believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and that the Holy Scriptures are the infallible Word of Almighty God. In their godless, bizarro worldview and mindset, those who bring forth Christ’s message of repentance and faith in Him (Mark 16:15-16) are the pinnacle of all that is evil (John 15:18). This ignites their fury like nothing else does or can do. Just the mere thought of accepting and abiding in Almighty God’s absolute truth and reality, torments them beyond measure (1 Thess. 2:10-12, 1 John 14:18, Rev 14:11, 20:10). As we will see, the stage has been set and the curtains are in the act of rising, getting the world ready for the most sobering event yet to come, i.e., the Day of the Lord. We will see how the godless, lawless world will react to God’s two messengers (Rev 11:3-13) who will come on the scene shortly after the Rapture of Christ’s body, the Church.

The Much Bigger Picture

One only needs to think “outside the box” of this world system and believe Almighty God and His Word to see more clearly the big picture. The Word of God teaches: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12). It's much bigger than just us!

Here is the Heart of the Matter

There is now ensuing a Great Spiritual War for the hearts, minds and souls of men. Satan's desire is to remove the United States from the World Stage along with its Judean/ Christian heritage. Also included in his diabolical plan for the country’s demise are any remnants of Christian testimony and support of Israel. At the present time, Satan's Minions abound everywhere in the American Mainstream Media. They unknowingly do his will (see 2 Corinthians 4:4) . Satan’s goal is to destroy any semblance of "Rightness" and that which threatens his evil agenda.

"Their words of righteousness will torment the inhabitants of the World with reality and truth"

In the Great Tribulation period which is coming upon the Whole World (see Luke 21:35), God's Two Mighty Jewish Witnesses (Rev.11:3-13) will speak with great Authority and rebuke the inhabitants of the world for their godlessness and lawlessness. They will also preach repentance and faith in Jesus Messiah for Salvation. The Bible says that their Words of righteousness will torment the inhabitants of the World with reality and truth (John 3:18-21, 2 Thess. 2:2:10-12, Rev 11:10). Satan will seek to destroy these Witnesses via the media, national governments, assassination attempts, etc. - all to no avail until the allotted time. They will preach God's Word and it will torment those who reject it. We can see today just a glimpse of what will be attempted in the near future.

Jesus said, "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God" (John 3:19-21).

How real and how true is this truth! People run for the hills, change the subject, run for cover, hide their children, tremble and shake whenever the True Gospel message of Jesus Christ is declared.My friend, God loves you and sent his Son Jesus Christ to be our Savior, and to save us from the wrath which is to come on the ungodly. You don't have to hide from Him. He is there to receive you as you receive Him, and to love you and deliver you from the judgment and consequences of sin.

Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? If not, trust Him today! Quit hiding in fearfulness and receive Him today. Only Christ will CHANGE your life and you will never be the same.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Abraham Lincoln - No Where Else To Go

Abraham Lincoln met crises on his knees! During the Civil War he once said, "I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for the day."

WHAT DO YOU DO? Complain, clam up, or commence your OWN solution? God says, it is “NOT by works of righteousness which we have done” (Titus 3:5) and “there is NO king saved by the multitude of a host: a mighty man is NOT delivered by much strength” (Psalm 33:16).

If we try painting the well it does not change the water. Every time we work the pump we bring up more of the same water. As we draw upon our own human resources, they are never more than our own human resources. Our working cannot rise above its own level. “But to him that WORKETH NOT, but BELIEVETH on Him that justifieth (act of declaring a person righteous) the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness” (Romans 4:5). “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).

WHERE DO YOU GO? Family, friends or follow your OWN course? God says, “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Proverbs 16:25). “Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near” (Isaiah 55:6). “But WITHOUT FAITH it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that HE IS, and that HE is a rewarder of them that DILIGENTLY SEEK Him” (Hebrews 11:6).
“I, even I, am the Lord and beside ME there is NO SAVIOUR...I am the first, and I am the last; and beside ME there is NO GOD” (Isaiah 43:11; 44:6).

WHAT DO YOU FIND? Your OWN insufficiency or GOD' S SAVING SUFFICIENCY?

I cannot, but GOD CAN!

I know not, but GOD KNOWS! I have not, but GOD HAS!

I will (or, I will not) bend my knees and look to the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved, secured and satisfied. “For whosoever shall CALL upon the NAME of the LORD shall be SAVED” (Romans 10:13).

He invites you to come and to rely upon HIS WORD and HIS ABILITY to SAVE and to KEEP you.

Quotes from Abraham Lincoln

"The will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong. God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time. In the present civil war it is quite possible that God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party - and yet the human instrumentalities, working just as they do, are of the best adaptation to effect His purpose."

“Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right”

"What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried?"

"In regard to this Great Book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book."

“When you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God"

"Whenever I hear any one arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally."

"that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

“God loves us the way we are, but too much to leave us that way"

“I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess"

"Intelligence, patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance, are still competent to adjust, in the best way, all our present difficulty"

"The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next."

"The only assurance of our nation's safety is to lay our foundation in morality and religion."

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

"I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for the day."

The Haters of Reality – Part 2

In the first segment of this blog; The Haters of Reality - Part 1, we discussed the current turmoil in American society; the surging problem of Liberalism and Relativism; and the one behind it all: the Father of Lies - Lucifer. We now continue onward.

'
The City of Enoch

.

After Adam’s fall at the dawn of creation (Gen. 3:1-7; Rom. 5:12-19), Adam and Eve’s first born son Cain followed Lucifer’s example of following his own godless and vain imagination. In this manner Cain abandoned Almighty God’s presence and possible redemption to live out his temporal existence in a delusional system he and his progeny created (Gen. 4:16-17; Jude 11a). Cain replaced the truth (reality) and sovereignty of Almighty God with his own self-governed, godless system. In the process he founded a city named Enoch, dominated by Cainitic culture (Gen 4:17-24). The final fruit and outworking of this godless endeavor ended in lawlessness, anarchy and violence. In the end, divine judgment from Almighty God destroyed this corrupt and godless civilization with a global flood (Gen 6:1-7; James 1:15; 2 Peter 2:5-6).

The City of Babel
.
Within a few centuries after the judgment on Cain’s delusional and godless system by means of the Noahic flood, another godless system emerged on the face of the earth (Gen. 11:1-9). The descendants of Noah began to build another city. The ruler of this city, Babel - capital of the ancient kingdom of Babylon - was Nimrod (Gen. 10:8-10). Babel, however, was like none other city built before it. The builders of this city sought not only to set up another delusional, godless system, but they introduced an “alternative creator” or substitute deity (“an abomination”) in the place of Almighty God (Rev. 17:2, 5).

When the triune Godhead saw what was transpiring in the plains of Shinar (i.e., the city of Babel), in His grace and mercy He changed their common language to many different languages (tongues), creating a situation where people divided into various clans and tribes. Babel’s inhabitants were then scattered across the face of the earth (Gen. 10; 11:9). This event forestalled the result of a one-world godless state and postponed God’s judgment on this delusional system until a much later time in the future (Rev. 17:1-5; 18:3-5; 19:2). From this divine judgment and dispersion the nations were born (Gen. 10).

The Nations of the Earth were:

- Conceived in a concerted, godless rebellion (Gen 11:1-9, Rev. 17:5, Acts 17:26).

- Born (brought forth) in divine judgment (Gen 10, 11:1-9, Rev 17:5, Acts 17:26).

- Reared (raised) in godless unbelief and ignorance (Acts 17:26 -30, Rom 1:18-32, Eph. 2:1-3,11,4:17).

- Lived out in carelessness, depravity and violence (Matt 6:6, Acts 14:14-16, Rom 1:24-32, Eph. 2:11,4:17, 1 Thess. 4:5, 1 Peter 4:3, Rev 6:4-8, 13:1-10, 18:23-24).

- Terminated in vanity, wrath (judgment) and eternal damnation (Psa. 2; Psa. 110; Dan. 7:43-44; Matt. 25:31-32, 41; Acts 17:31; 2 Thess. 2:7-9; 1 Peter 2:12; Rev. 16:13-16; 19:11-20; 20:7-9).
.
Note: Only a small remnant of all the nations - from Babel to the end of the age - will place their their faith and trust in Almighty God for salvation. These (i.e., the saved of the nations) are the ones whom God foreknew while He spared the inhabitants of Babel from total destruction. In His grace and mercy He chose rather to "babble" their languages and scatter them throughout the world (note the commandment of Almighty God in Gen. 9:1) - Zech. 14:16; Matt. 25:31-34; Rev. 14:9-14; 21:24.
.
As the rebellious inhabitants of Babel were scattered across the face of the earth,they took with them the godless, “alternative reality” and philosophy of the city of Babel (Rev. 17:1-5). As time passed, the nations became immersed and cemented in their godless cultures and philosophies, and they have reaped the consequences of their godless practices unto this day (Rom. 1:18-32).

"This 'Babelology' of a godless politico-religious ideology and philosophy still dominates our world today...."

Since Babel’s judgment some forty-two hundred years ago, people in the world today have been living in the aftermath of the “Babylonian unbelief and apostasy.” This "Babelology” of politico-religious ideology and philosophy still dominates our world today, and it has truly hampered Lucifer’s tyrannical designs for global worship and creation of a global fascist state under his sole, sovereign thumb (Rev. 14:8; 17:16-17; 18:2). Even now, events are transpiring that will soon make Satan’s grand and diabolical design a reality (2 Thess. 2:7; 1 John 4:3).

The Final Delusion of Desolation - 666

With the ongoing, exponential advancements in technology and media today, the language/ culture/ geography barriers that are restraining the global unification necessary for Lucifer’s godless, global state are eroding right before our very eyes. Global unification and a New World Order is not just a delusional “pipe dream” anymore - it is fast becoming a REALITY. We are at the very doorstep of Satan’s global, fascist state ruled by his lawless minion, the Anti-Christ (Dan. 2:41-43; 7:8, 19-21, 25; 2 Thess. 2:3-12; Rev. 13).

"It is a fact of history that as societies, cultures and nations become more base (degenerate) and hardened against the living God, they become increasingly vulnerable to godless and demonic (evil) influences."

It is a fact of history that as societies, cultures and nations become more base (degenerate) and hardened against the living God, they become increasingly vulnerable to godless and demonic (evil) influences. (Luke 4:5-6; Eph. 2:1-2; 6:12; 1 Tim. 4:1-2; Rev. 16:13-16). This trend is a driving force that is setting the stage even now for the world’s final showdown against Almighty God, His sovereign authority and eternal reign on earth and in heaven. This final showdown is called the Battle of Armageddon (Psalm 2; Dan. 2:43-44; Joel 3:2; Zech. 14:2; Rev. 16:13-16). Once the Rapture of the Church takes place, Almighty God’s restraint will be removed (2 Thess. 2:3, 6-8). The dam - as it were - will be removed and the godless, base practices and the unbridled passions of man will be unleashed to flood the world with godlessness and lawlessness. As these awesomely turbulent times of global calamities come to pass, the world will look for a scapegoat. Feelings of anti-Semitism and hatred for Israel will intensify as never before (Matt. 24:12; Rev. 12:17).

 As the Anti-Christ rises to power, he will seek to exalt himself over all and will accomplish his despotic goal (2 Thess. 2:2-4). He will use the massive devastations, the fallout from global wars and natural disasters inflicted on this earth by Almighty God to seize unlimited power and authority over all the earth (Rev. 13). The Beast (Anti-Christ) will seek to change the times and the seasons (Dan 7:25). He will rewrite Almighty God’s eternal, spiritual and natural laws of creation, and enact his own secular, godless agenda upon the masses of humanity. He will lead a global assault on Almighty God, decimate all ideologies tending toward truth, and eradicate the followers of Christ/ Messiah (God’s lovers of reality and truth) - Rev. 13:7; 17:12-17; Rom. 8:36. Anti-Christ will impose on the world his mark, his idol-image and his will. In so doing he will cause all to worship both himself and his “father,” a.k.a. “Lucifer, the son of the morning” (Isa. 14:12); “that old serpent” (Rev. 12:9; Gen. 3:1-4); “a great red dragon” (Rev. 12:3-4); and “the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world” (Rev. 12:9). In this, his mad attempt, Anti-Christ will ULTIMATELY SUCCEED! (2 Thess. 2:4; Rev. 13:4, 8, 12, 16-18).

"Anti-Christ will impose on the world his mark, his idol-image and his will. In so doing he will cause all to worship both himself and his 'father,' a.k.a. Lucifer....”

This vile act will indeed constitute a great insanity. The whole world will reject their Creator to follow and worship this lawless one (Satan’s Anti-Christ) with great passion and zeal (Rev. 13:3, 8; 17:16, 17). They will do so with the veritable understanding that they are fully rejecting Almighty God and His saving grace for their lost souls (2 Thess. 2:10-12; Rev. 14:9-11). These doomed "Haters of Reality" will be quite willing to follow their delusion through to the end. They will be thus damned for all eternity in Almighty God’s prison and “junk yard” called the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:14-15). This fate would they choose rather than to repent and honor their Creator and Savior (2 Thess. 2:10-12; Rev. 9:20-21). This “Abomination of abominations,” which the world of that day will choose to worship, only brings these Haters of Reality to an absolute and eternal desolation (Dan. 9:27; Matt 24:15, Rev. 14:9-11).

The Eternal Prison of Reality

At the end of the 1000-year reign of Christ, all Haters of Reality will be confronted with their most feared phobia. They will come face to face with the FINAL REALITY of time and eternity, and be ushered into the very presence of Almighty God - the Righteous Judge - at the Great White Throne Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15). Here these sin-ridden, rebellious masses of countless multitudes from the beginning of time to the end of the millennial reign of Christ will give a "final, full account" to Almighty God. We do not read in Revelation 20:11-15 that even ONE person will open their month in protest. The delusional and darkened imaginations of fallen man will be obliterated by the ETERNAL LIGHT of reality. Upon the divine and righteous judgment from Almighty God, the lost Haters of Reality are cast into Almighty God’s ETERNAL prison called "the Lake of Fire.” Here in their unregenerate state they will FOREVER have to give account for each and every sin - from the smallest transgression to the vilest of thoughts, words and acts. Hear what Almighty God’s Word says concerning these wretches and their wretched estate:

"And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found NO PLACE FOR THEM (Rev. 20:11). He that is unjust (unrighteous, broken), let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous (cf. Rom. 10:4), let him be righteous still: and he that is holy (set apart by Almighty God), let him be holy still (Rev. 22:11)."

The souls of unregenerate men and women will forever remain in their misery and terrible condition. They will be left with their memories and reminders of their rejection of Almighty God’s pardon to reap the devastating, eternal consequences (cf. Luke 16:23-25). The tragic end result for these individuals is that they will have to personally and perpetually answer to Almighty God for each infraction and every violation of Almighty God’s Natural Laws of time and Eternal Spiritual Laws of forever.

"At the end of time these Haters of Reality will abide forevermore in the presence of ABSOLUTE REALITY in torment and anguish."

The most tragic thing imaginable for a human being is to be thus left to their own darkened and delusional thought process. From Lucifer to his fallen angels (demons), from Cain to Nimrod, from Babel’s scattered founders of the nations to the Anti-Christ, from Gog and Magog in the middle of the Great Tribulation to the Great Rebellion at the end of the Millennium - at the end of time these Haters of Reality will abide forevermore in the presence of ABSOLUTE REALITY in torment and anguish.

The Lovers of Reality

Almighty God calls out to all today to be saved (i.e., delivered) from the “wrath to come” (John 3:17; 12:47). God calls us to abandon our delusional philosophies and ideologies and follow after His eternal absolutes of reality and truth. The Lord Jesus said, "I am the way, the TRUTH (reality), and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but (except) by me" (John 14:6). "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH" (John 4:24). "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy TRUTH: thy word is TRUTH" (John 17:16-17).

Because of His great love for us, Almighty God sent His Son Jesus Christ to earth to eternally save us (John 3:16-17), and to deliver us from the bondage of our trespasses and fallen nature (Gal. 1:4; Eph. 2:1-7). In reading this very sobering post may you consider very seriously the VERY REAL realities of time and eternity, and understand how desperately you need the person of God’s Son, Jesus Christ, as your Personal Savior. May it be so for you to be found a Lover - and not a Hater - of Reality. Place your trust in Christ TODAY! You will NEVER be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Happy New Year!

Beloved Ignorant Fishermen Brigade,

We would like to wish you ALL of Almighty God’s highest and best for you in 2010. May Almighty God be glorified in all that we do and say (1 Cor. 10:31).

Wonderful TRUTHS for 2010!

Thou therefore ENDURE hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 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 Tim. 2:3-4).

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become NEW. And all things ARE OF God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:17, 18).

If ye then be risen with Christ, SEEK those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. SET your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who IS OUR LIFE, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory (Col. 3:1-4).

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but WE KNOW that, when he shall appear, we shall BE like him; for we shall see him as he is (1 John 3:2).

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, DO ALL to the glory of God (1 Cor. 10:31).

In EVERY THING give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1 Thess. 5:18).

Victory in Jesus in 2010!

The Christmas Day Delta Airlines Terror Attempt and the Coming Day of the Lord!

last years Christmas day terror attach failure on the Delta Airlines Airbus 330 was an act of Almighty God’s mercy and grace to this nation. Could you have imagined what would have been the chain reaction and fall out to this single act of terror if it had transpired?

This fall out would have caused devastating ripple effects on our nation’s state of mind, our economy, our national security and the most horrendous of all – an attempt for Leftist Elites in Washington D.C. to seize more authority and power from the American people.

"Nothing opens doors for tyranny and tyrants more than a crisis on a major scale"

Nothing opens doors for tyranny and tyrants more than a crisis on a major scale. Look how vast our government has grown since 9/11. Would we as a nation have been ready for such another state of national terror? I am afraid not!

9/11

“9-11” will always be remembered as one of the most horrific and catastrophic events ever in U.S. history. It was almost beyond belief that such a series of horrific events actually happened in the United States of America. America was completely and totally caught off guard. No one, seemingly, could ever imagine that such a day could have taken place here on U.S. soil. It was awake up call to the American people. The events that followed were beyond anyone’s conception. What transpired on that September 11th morning came as a thief in the night to a sleeping and apathetic nation.

It was a beautiful morning on that Tuesday of September 11, 2001. The sky was a clear blue and the early autumn air was crisp and cool. While Washington bickered about miscellaneous matters of state, the majority of Americans that day were living out their narcissistic and self-styled lives. New Yorkers and Americans went about their daily grind oblivious to what would transpire in mere moments.

Sudden calamity and terror struck at 8:46 a.m in the financial capital of the entire world. American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the World Trade Center's North Tower. At approximately 9:03 a.m. United Airlines Flight 175 hit the South Tower of the World Trade Center. At 9:37 a.m. another group of Al-Qaeda hijackers flew American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon building. The fourth and final flight, United Airlines Flight 93 - whose ultimate destination was to be either the White House or the United States Capitol building - crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 a.m. The heroic efforts of the passengers on board United Airlines Flight 93 prevented even greater devastation and loss. Within one fateful hour, terror, devastation and infamy had shaken to the very foundations a deaf and blind nation.

The loss of life on this infamous day was tallied at 2,993 individuals. How could America have missed all the warning signs and clear evidence that such an attack was forthcoming? The bottom line was that the majority of Americans and our government leaders were over-confident, complacent, idle, sloppy, gullible, and apathetic due to our false sense of security and naivete. These had all given a deaf ear to the countless voices of warning that were sounded in the voluminous reports. The blind eye reasoning for this can be summed in the old adage: “It won’t ever happen to me (us)”.

Global Calamity and Shock and Awe

Today, as the global events and the godless out workings of base (corrupt) man continue at a “breakneck” speed, the stage is being set for the horrific events on the horizon called “The Tribulation Period”, or “The Day of the Lord” (Matt. 24:21-22). The entire world - including America - will be absolutely oblivious to the realities and dire consequences of events to unfold during that time. Ever since the civilization of Babel (Gen. 11:1-9), the world has basically lived in a godless delusion of apathy and subjective narcissism. They have willfully rejected the eternal ordinances of Almighty God and their ultimate accountability to Him. As the terrible calamity of 9-11 overtook, shocked and stunned our nation, so also will be the commencement of horrific events that are due to transpire in that terrible time called “The Day of the Lord.”

One of the most sobering passages in the Holy Scripture is from the Book of Proverbs in chapter 1, verses 24-31. This passage speaks about those who willingly reject reality and live in a spiritually/ mentally drunken delusion (Rev. 17:2). When evil and anguish come upon these individuals, they are in a total panic because they have rejected absolutes (reality) and truth (wisdom). The consequences of these actions will be their swift destruction on account of their doings. God’s Word States:

Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind (a powerful tornado); when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices (Proverbs 1:24-31).

So will be the mindset of those during the time when the Day of the Lord commences. These will seek God to render a godless remedy and an unrighteous solution for their consequences and dilemmas. In that day of their calamity they will still reject Almighty God’s solutions and deliverance. These individuals have no heart for the absolute truths and realities of time and eternity. They are poisoned with bitterness and filled with violence. They posses only a godless, nature rooted in delusion, lust and visions of a temporal (earthly) habitation. They are oblivious to their eternal destiny and will not repent of their godless transgression and be saved, even after all these horrific tribulation events transpire on the earth. (Isa 24; John 3:17-19; 2 Thess. 2:11-12; Rev. 9:20-21; 16:9).

The Day of the Lord!

The “Day of the Lord” is an ongoing theme throughout both the Old and New Testaments. The exact phrase “Day of the Lord” is mentioned twenty-eight times throughout the two books. Moreover, the phrases “In That Day”, “The Day” and “The Great Day” also refer to the “Day of the Lord” and are mentioned over seventy times throughout the Old and New Testaments. The underlying theme of all of them is the judgment of God. (1)

This Day will commence directly after the Rapture of the Church, which will leave the inhabitants of the earth - especially America – bewildered, astonished and horrified. Following the removal of those who have a saving relationship to God in reality and Biblical truth, “The Day of the Lord” commences with the signing of a peace treaty with Israel and the nations of the Middle East (Dan 9:27). This peace treaty (covenant) will be strengthened and enforced by none other than the Man of Lawlessness – Lucifer’s global fascist, the Anti-Christ (2 Thess. 2:8-9). This time is dominated by the darkness of human delusion, godless insanity and lawlessness (Isa. 2:12-22; Ezek. 13:5; Joel 1:15; 2:1-11; Zeph. 1:7, 14; Zech. 13:1; Matt. 24).

The Word of Almighty God states the warning message that this Day will overtake the whole world, lying in its utter narcissistic unbelieving slumber, as a thief in the night!

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape (1 Thess. 5:2-3). The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night (2 Peter 3:10).

Warning Bells On Deaf Ears



Even today the signs and warning bells are loudly ringing. The shofar (ram’s horn) blast of alert is piercing into every facet of civilization. While the Biblical evidence is overwhelming with events transpiring daily, the masses of humanity go about their narcissistic lives with a deaf ear turned to the warning cries of those who comprehend what is coming.

Even now, how true is Proverbs 1:24-31 of those in this day. How will they escape such global calamity? My friend, this if very sobering: they will not (1 Thess. 5:3b)!

My friend, today as you hear this message of warning, harden not your hearts to the eternal love and strong hand of deliverance found in Almighty God’s Savior for the world, the Lord Jesus Christ (Heb 4:2). Make a strong and valiant attempt to be objective about the real reality and true condition of fallen (unregenerate) man. Six thousand years of human history attests to the fact of man’s violent attitude and godless actions. How can man bring about a global utopia from the wretched state in which they exist?

Before the foundation of the world, Almighty God already had the remedy and solution for Adam’s fallen race (Rom. 5:12-19; 1 Peter 1:18-20; Rev. 13:8). The Bible states: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him (John 3:16-17).

Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father (Gal 1:4).

Oh my Friend, what hope there is! What love divine! What deliverance from the godless ramifications of fallen humanity! Almighty God has a plan and purpose for your life here in time, and a glorious eternal future for you free from the tyranny of sin and the fallen effects of this broken world.

As surely as the sun will rise tomorrow, the events of “The Day of the Lord” will take place! Be not a scoffer or mocker of the warnings from God’s Infallible and Inspired Word (2 Peter 3:3, Jude 1:18).

We have already seen and experienced the horrific events that transpired on September 11, 2001. May we hear with our ears the message and reality of the coming global day of wrath and not dismiss it as foolish heresay.

The Only Hope!

Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, as the Holy Scriptures teach? If not, my friend, place your eternal destiny in His eternal hands. He loves you and wants to save you from the wrath to come. My friend, do you have ears to hear God’s call to you (Rom 10:17, Heb 4:2, Rev 13:9)? Place your trust in Him today. My friend, on the authority of God’s Word you will never be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand!
