Have Faith in God - VeggieTales: God is Bigger Than the Boogie Man Song

Coronavirus and the Bible - Don't Be Afraid, Almighty God Cares, Have Faith in Almighty God!

Dear friends, In light of our day's national and global fears and panic relating to the Coronavirus; do your part to be safe and relax, especially if you are a child of Almighty God (John 10:27-30; Rom. 8:26-39). Be the stability and light in Jesus that this fallen world needs to see and may Almighty God use us to share His ETERNAL LIFE and PEACE to a dying world who needs Him desperately (John 3:16-17). For we serve the ETERNAL KING of LIFE and NOT that fallen angelic thug Satan and his henchman; death, the king of fears (John 1:14; 8:44; 11:25, Heb. 1:2-3; 2:12-16, Rev. 1:17-18; 5; 19:11-21)! Have faith in Almighty God, who is our LIFE, be VICTORIOUS for His glory and the PEACE of Almighty God will guard your hearts and minds and pass all understanding in such times (Isa. 26:3, 1 Cor. 10:31; 15:54-58, 2 Cor. 2:14, Phil. 4-7, Col. 3:1-4)! As this world stops to quarantine for the Coronavirus, may it STOP and consider Almighty God!

It is times like this that our faith in Almighty God will be tested to see how deep, rooted and secure we are as His blood brought children, it indeed (in Christ) is for our own good that we bring forth more fruit for Almighty God's glory!

It is in times like this that our faith in Almighty God will be tested to see how deep, rooted and secure we are as His blood brought children (Matt. 17:20, Mark 4:40, 11:22, Heb. 11:1;11:6). Such settings and times are indeed (in Christ) for our own good; to self evaluate ourselves in Christ and that we bring forth more fruit for Almighty God's glory (Matt. 26:31-35, Luke 22:31-34, John 15:1-17, Rom. 5:1-6, 2 Cor. 4:16-18, Gal. 5:22-23, James 1:2-8, 1 Peter 1:8-9, Rev. 2:8-11). 

Lighthouses shine the brightest and are the most needed in the darkness of the storms of life to point to safety and preserve life. Thus are we to be Christ's lighthouse and a beacon of TRUTH, LIGHT and ETERNAL SAFTEY in such times to point all mankind to the Savior of their souls!

Lighthouses shine the brightest and are the most needed in the darkness of the storms of life to point to safety and preserve life. Thus are we to be Christ's lighthouse and a beacon of TRUTH, LIGHT and ETERNAL SAFTEY in such times to point all mankind to the Savior of their souls (Psalm 27:1, Matt. 5:16, John 8:12, Eph.5:22-23; Thess. 5:5, James 1:17, 1 Peter 2:9). Are we - as Almighty God's blood brought children - looking subjectively at our fallen world with all its innumerable crises and fears or are we seeing things objectively from Almighty God's ETERNAL and RIGHTEOUS perspective with the eyes of faith and the actions of believing (Prov. 3:5-6, Eph. 1-2; Col. 3:1-4)? That is the question each one of us as Almighty God's children should be asking ourselves in this hour. Are we believing or unbelieving in such times? Remember this world is not our home and that ETERNITY with our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and Savior Jesus Christ is our ETERNAL FUTURE (John 14:3, 1 Cor. 2:9, James 2:-8, 1 Peter 1:3-9, Rev. 21; 22:1-5). This world is just a "snap of our finger" in light of ETERNITY!

That is the question each one of us as Almighty God's children should be asking ourselves in this hour. Are we believing or unbelieving in such times?

Have FAITH in Almighty God, who created the universe and Heavens and the earth with its innumerable host and scientific wonders and laws that reveal the vast ETERNAL genus of Almighty God (Gen. 1; Job. 9:8; 38:4, Psalm 104:24; 136:5, Isa. 37:16; 45:18; Prov. 3:19, Jer. 10:12; 27:5, John 1:1-4, Acts 17:23-32, Rom. 1:18-22, Heb. 1:1-3; 11:3, Rev. 4:11; 5:12-14; 14:6-7).

Have FAITH in Almighty God the ETERNAL Father that so loved this fallen world that He sent His ETERNAL Son to redeem your soul; the One Who holds ETERNITY in His hand as a grain of sand (Isa. 52:13-15; 53; Mic. 5:3, Luke 10:16, John 1:18; 3:16-17; 5:23; 5:37; 8:18; 12:45, Eph. 1:3; Heb. 1:1-3; 1 John 4:10-14; Rev. 4; 21:22-23; 22:3)!

Have FAITH in Almighty God the Son, who so loved you that He shed His RIGHTEOUS blood and died for our sins and transgressions against the RIGHTEOUS Person of the ETERNAL TRIUNE God, to be our PERFECT RIGHTEOUS LAMB and ETERNAL PROPITIATION (Gen. 3:15; 12:1-3, Isa. 53, Mic. 5:3 John 1:29; 3:16-17; 11:25; 2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 1:1-3; 1 Peter 3:18,  Rev. 1:5; 2:7; 2:11; 2:17;29; 3:16; 3:13; 3:22; 21:22-23; 22:3)! The One who is the Father of ETERNITY and holds ETERNITY as a grain of sand in His risen GLORIFIED nailed pierced hands (Gen. 1:1-3; Isa. 9:6-7, Mic. 5:3; John 1:1-3; 8:58; 10:30; 14:9; 17:3; Rev. 1:12-18; 21:22-23; 22:3; 12-13)!

Have FAITH in Almighty God the ETERNAL Holy Spirit, who called you to Himself and is the Spirit of ETERNAL TRUTH, our Advocate in prayer for Almighty God's PERFECT will for our lives, our Teacher, the Gift of God, the ETERNAL Power of God, Comforter and Leader and our Seal of ETERNAL salvation (Mark 13:11; John 14:16-17; 26; 15:26; 16:7-15, Acts 1:8; 2:38; 4:31; 5:32; 13:2; Rom. 5:5; 8:26-28; 15:13, 1 Cor. 2:11; Eph. 1:13-14; 4:30; 6:18, 2 Peter 1:21; Jude 1:20-21; Rev. 2:7; 2:11; 2:17;29; 3:16; 3:13; 3:22; Rev. 22:16)! The One who is the ETERNAL Spirit of TRUTH who fills and possesses ALL ETERNITY while He possesses all ETERNITY in His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS hand!

Faith sees, trusts and is persuaded by the integrity of Almighty God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! The eyes of faith set in motion the spiritual ABSOLUTES and TRUTHS of Almighty God that transform our hearts, souls and minds and move demonic strongholds and powers that dominate and control this lost world (Heb. 11).

Have faith in Almighty God in ALL things! For if we do, we will be changed from glory to glory and we will NEVER be the same! Fear (rightly reverence Almighty God) in ALL things and ALL things will not reign over you because of fear (Psalm 55:22, Matt. 6:25-34, John 14:27, Phil. 4:6-7, 1 Peter 5:7, Rev. 1:17-18). Be believing and seeing; NOT unbelieving and deceiving!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

The Coronavirus, the King of Fears and The ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS LORD of LIFE!

In light of our day's national and global fears and panic relating to the Coronavirus; do your part to be safe and relax, especially if you are a child of Almighty God (John 10:27-30; Rom. 8:26-39). Be the stability and light in Jesus that this fallen world needs to see and may Almighty God use us to share His ETERNAL LIFE and PEACE to a dying world who needs Him desperately. For we serve the ETERNAL KING of LIFE and NOT the murdering king of fears (John 1:14; 8:44; 11:25, Heb. 1:2-3; 2:12-16, Rev. 1:17-18; 5; 19:11-21)! Have faith in Almighty God, who is our LIFE and be VICTORIOUS for His glory (1 Cor. 10:31; 15:54-58, 2 Cor. 2:14, Col. 3:1-4)!

In light of our day's national and global fears and panic relating to the Coronavirus; do your part to be safe and relax, especially if you are a child of Almighty God!

Death has always been the most misunderstood event in the world since Adam's fall (Gen. 3, Rom. 5:12-21). It is the KING of all fears and phobias and has been Satan's despotic fear-monger over the children of Adam since the fall (Job 2:4, Rom. 3:23, 7:24, 1 Cor. 15:25-26, Heb. 2:14-15). Death was conceived with Eve's first transgression and has reigned mercilessly with terror since the Garden of Eden. All of Adam's line since his fall have become mortal, fallen and because of transgressions subject to Death's power (Gen. 5, Rom. 3:23; 5:12-21, Heb. 2:13-15). Since the Tower of Babel, countless godless philosophies and religions (spiritual philosophies) of fallen man have tried to explain the REALITY of death, tragically ALL of the world's unregenerate perceptions have been woefully inaccurate and ETERNALLY fatal (Prov. 14:12, Rom. 1:18-32). Civilizations since the Tower of Babel have given over their entire culture and societies to philosophies and superstitions that seek to answer the mystery of death and the afterlife and ALL have failed (Rev. 17:1-2). The biblical definition of death is the separation of the soul and spirit from the body (Eccl. 12:7, Matt. 27:50, Luke 23:46, Acts 7:59). The body, which is flesh, returns to the dust of the earth, while the soul and spirit of the person remain ETERNAL. The soul and spirit of an individual which has experienced death will either go to Sheol (the waiting place and abode of the lost dead until the Great White Throne judgment - Rev. 20:11-15) or into the presence of Almighty God (Luke 23:42-43, Acts 7:59, 2 Cor. 5:6-8).

 In the death of the lost, Almighty God summons that individual into the presence of ETERNITY to await His FULL and FINAL judgment at the GREAT WHITE THRONE.

It is in the death of the lost that Almighty God summons that individual into the presence of ETERNITY to await His FULL and FINAL judgment at the end of time called, the GREAT WHITE THRONE judgment (Eccl. 12:13-14, Matt. 12:36, John 3:36, Heb. 9:27, Rev. 20:11-15). In that Day, at the end of time, one will give a FULL account unto Jesus Christ - Almighty God's PERFECT RIGHTEOUS STANDARD - (Gen. 18:25, Acts 17:31, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 John 2:1, Rev. 20:11-15) according to ALL their works based on their failure and violation of Almighty God's ETERNAL spiritual and moral absolutes of time (Eccl. 12:13-14, Matt. 12:36, Rom. 3:23, 2 Thess. 1:8, Rev. 20:11-15). Dear friends, think on that ETERNALLY sobering REALITY for a moment if you can. We, apart from Almighty God's saving grace, WILL GIVE a FULL account to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS One for ALL our life's thoughts and deeds. Even if a man lives a thousand years and then steps into ETERNITY in death, all his past will evaporate within a millisecond and he will be FULLY consumed with the ETERNAL present. All that that man brings with him into ETERNITY is his rebellion and defiant heart and a raised fist against His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator. Who my dear friends can EVER stand in His RIGHTEOUS PRESENCE apart from Christ's saving grace? Oh, the HORRIFIC SOBERING REALITY OF ETERNITY without Almighty God's saving grace!! No wonder in that Day that NO ONE will say boo; for ALL will see PERFECTLY their EXPONENTIAL wretched estate before Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS ETERNAL PERSON and ALL will FULLY KNOW that they are RIGHTLY and JUSTLY condemned (Acts 17:31, 1 Peter 4:18, Phil. 2:9-11, Rev. 1:13-18; 20:11-15).

 One's death is the FINAL ETERNAL summons to stand before the ETERNAL Judge and to give a FULL account for his works done in time!

One's death will NEVER transpire without Almighty God allowing it to be in light of His all-knowing wisdom of His ETERNAL omniscient mind. One's death is the FINAL ETERNAL summons to appear and stand before the ETERNAL Judge of the world and to give a FULL account for his deeds done in the flesh here in time (Heb. 9:27). My friends, no matter how one's death occurs (peacefully, tragically, unexpectedly, violently etc...), the means thereof can NEVER be compared to the horrific REALITY of coming face to face with the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS presence of Almighty God. This "life" or earthly existence here in time is all about Adam's fallen race to individually make an ETERNAL choice; To choose a RIGHTEOUS ETERNAL existence with their Creator in RIGHTEOUSNESS, Peace and HARMONY (Rev. 21-22:1-5) or to follow one's own lawless will and Lucifer's LAWLESS rebellion against Almighty God's ETERNAL PERSON and His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS ABSOLUTES  (Matt. 25: 41, John 8:44, Rom. 1:18-32, Rev. 20:11-15).

This life is all about mankind to individually make an ETERNAL choice; a RIGHTEOUS ETERNAL existence with their Creator in RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE and HARMONY or to follow one's own lawless will and Lucifer's LAWLESS rebellion against Almighty God's and His ETERNAL  RIGHTEOUS ABSOLUTES.

Satan, the fallen angelic tyrant of Adam's fallen race holds the leash to man's greatest enemy and has used this dreaded consuming despot and monster to hold his power, terrorize and control mankind (Gen. 3, Job, 2:4, Prov. 27:20; 30:16, John 8:44, Rom. 5:12-21, Heb. 2:14-15)(Gen. 3, Rom. 5:12-21). Satan's desire is for fallen humanity to do his godless will and encourage humans to violate Almighty God's spiritual and moral laws (Eph. 2:1-2; 6:12, Rev. 12:9). In the end, the author of death himself will be subject to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS judgment of Almighty God, where He will be tormented FOREVER and EVER by the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God and to be consumed FOREVER in the Lake of Fire's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS flame (Deut. 4:24, Jer. 23:29, Matt. 3:12, Mark 9:43-45, Rev. 20:10).

In the end, the author of death himself will be subject to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS judgment of Almighty God, where He will be tormented FOREVER and EVER by the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God!

My friends, there is ABSOLUTELY NO HOPE for this fallen world when it abandons their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and gives themselves over unto their own darkened reprobate mind; for in doing so they willingly have put their necks under Satan's demonic tyranny and death's dread and eventual sting (Isa. 5:20, Matt. 6:23, Rom. 1:18-32, Eph. 2:1-2). Yet millions upon millions that once have lived and those now who are presently living are exercising a vain existence here in time and rejecting the ETERNAL Holy Spirit's RIGHTEOUS ministry to call ALL to repent and be delivered from the wrath which is to come (John 3:16-17; 16:8-11, Acts 17:31)!

 My friends, there is ABSOLUTELY NO HOPE for this fallen world when it abandons their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and gives themselves over unto their own darkened reprobate mind.

Hear me my dear friends! Unbelief is unbelief, is unbelief, is unbelief whether you follow a self-created spiritual ideology (aka. a religion) or a secular political ideology or a lawless ideology or a conservative moral ideology or a traditional ideology etc... etc... For they ALL lie in gross darkness and in spiritual death apart from the RIGHTEOUS saving solution for Adam's fallen race FOUND ONLY in Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS PROPITIATION, Jesus Christ (John 11:25, Acts 4:12, Rom. 5:11-21; 10:4, 1 John 4:10)! For Jesus is the risen ETERNAL Lord and Prince of Life and Lucifer the unrighteous and his tool death have ZERO authority and power over His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS PERSON (Isa. 9:6-7, Matt. 28:18, Luke 1:33, 1 Cor. 15:55-57, Phil. 2:1-11, Rev. 1:17-18; 5:11-14)! The Savior of Adam's fallen race and mankind's RIGHTEOUS PROPITIATION is found ONLY in the ETERNAL Person of the Son of God, Jesus Christ the Lord; and ALL fears and tyrants including Satan and Death themselves are subject to and powerless in His ETERNAL GLORY and LIGHT (Rev. 1:17-18)!

The Lord Jesus Christ gave His RIGHTEOUS LIFE to be their RIGHTEOUS propitiation and justification and to give unto them ETERNAL life so they may be restored and redeemed FOREVER to enjoy Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS and in PEACE.

My dear friends, Almighty God saw Adam's fallen race's horrific need PERFECTLY; and from before the foundations of the earth has provided a PERFECT rescue boat, a PERFECT way out and a PERFECT arm of deliverance to all who call upon His Name from one's sin, Satan's tyranny and death's reign (Gen. 3, Psalm 55:16, Isa. 43:11, 45:21, John 1:12, Acts 4:12, 16:2-30, Rom. 10:10-13, 1 Cor. 15, Heb. 2:14-15, Rev. 3:20). Almighty God sent His Son into time to be born of a woman, to live a PERFECT LIFE and to give His life for a ransom for the transgression of Adam's fallen race. The Lord Jesus Christ gave His RIGHTEOUS LIFE and shed His RIGHTEOUS blood to be  mankind's RIGHTEOUS propitiation and justification for ALL; and to give unto them ETERNAL life so they may be restored and redeemed FOREVER to enjoy Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS and in PEACE (John 3:16-17, 1 Cor. 2:9,  Rev. 21-22:15).

Dear friend, do you know the Lord Jesus Christ? If not, we would love to show you why you NEED to know Him and how to know Him. This life here in time is ALL about knowing the ETERNAL LORD of LIFE. May you sincerely seek to know the One who loved you and gave Himself for you.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

What Is Sin? The Testimony of the Egg

Today there are many different views and thoughts about just what the term “Sin” means. Just the word alone gives people the Hee-bee-Gee-bees. People do not like to think of themselves as “Sinners.” They say or think, “Well, I’m not that bad. I’ve never killed anyone. If you only knew the good I do...(and so on and so forth).” These statements and sentiments are expressed in attempting to justify themselves in light of the realities of their "sinful" condition. (John 3:19-21, Hebrews 6:1; 9:14).

Sin, as defined in Almighty God’s Word, the Bible, is the transgression and violation of the RIGHTEOUSNESS and PERFECT ABSOLUTES of Almighty God. Sin is also the transgression and violation of the ETERNAL/ Spiritual and Temporal (Time-bound)/ Natural laws and absolutes of Almighty God the Creator, which were established from the foundation of the world and His ETERNAL Person in RIGHTEOUSNESS have ALWAYS been (Acts 15:18; 1 John 3:4)!

In Adam’s fall we sinneth all! (Romans 5:12, 19) We all are imperfect, we all have sinned! That is the bottom line. God’s Holy (perfect) Word states:

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23). (The word glory refers to the supreme stature of God, His surpassing “weight, worth and wealth,” and His righteous perfection and holy character.)

As it is written, There is none righteous (perfect), no, not one (Rom 3:10).

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one (Job 14:4).

What is man, that he should be clean (pure), and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? (Job 15:14)

David said, "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin (imperfection) did my mother conceive me" (Psalm 51:5).

My friend, it isn’t hard to see. No one in his right mind would ever make such a declaration that he is absolutely perfect and righteous in and by themselves to stand before Almighty God on the Day of Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15). Almighty God’s Word states:

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all (James 2:10).

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us (1 John 1:8).
.

Natural laws and absolutes of Almighty God the Creator, which were established from the foundation of the world and His ETERNAL Person in RIGHTEOUSNESS have ALWAYS been! 

.
We Are a Broken Egg

My friend, we are like a broken egg. When an egg is smashed and broken, who can put it perfectly back together again? In the beginning, God created us perfect (like a whole, unbroken egg) in Adam, but the transgression of Adam against the eternal spiritual laws (absolutes) and temporal natural laws of Almighty God caused him to die – both spiritually and physically. Thus, because of Adam’s transgression all who were born in Adam (i.e., the entire human race) were made “broken” sinners (Gen. 3; 2:16-17; Rom. 5:12-19).

It is utterly impossible to perfectly and totally obey the spiritual absolutes and natural laws ordained by Almighty God in our fallen, “broken egg” nature (Rom. 7:15-24; 8:5-8). The best a man (person) can do is to contain the vices and passions of his own heart (conservatism). That in itself certainly does not make one righteous enough to fulfill (satisfy) God’s laws.

What Hope Is There For a Broken Egg?
.

Almighty God our RIGHTEOUS Creator did not forsake His lost creation. He sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ to redeem man and to deliver them from their bondage and judgment of sin (their broken eggness/ trespasses).

The Bible states: For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosever (anyone and every one) believeth in him should not perish (will not die) but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:16-17).

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh (a broken egg), and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh (Rom 8:3).

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners (broken eggs), Christ died for us (Rom. 5:8).

Who (Christ) was delivered for our offences (broken actions), and was raised again for our justification (Rom. 5:25).

But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).

There is great hope to all who look to Almighty God and His Son for deliverance!

,

Almighty God’s our RIGHTEOUS Creator's great desire is to redeem men and deliver us from the devastating consequences of sin. For all who put their trust in Him through Christ, He will exchange these “broken egg” natures and bodies of ours for new ones that will be completely perfect (1 John 3:1-2). These new, ETERNAL bodies will be capable of enjoying Almighty God as He is in perfect HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS! (1 Cor. 15:42-57)

Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption (broken egg-ness) into the glorious liberty (a perfectly complete egg) of the children of God (Romans 8:21).

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption (broken egg-ness); it is raised in incorruption (a perfectly complete egg) (1 Cor. 15:42).

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away (Rev. 21:1).

Almighty God our RIGHTEOUS Creator has given to all of Adam’s fallen race a wonderful future and deliverance from our “broken egg” humanity. We must choose by our own free will to receive Almighty God’s pardon and the gift of ETERNAL life (Eph. 2:8-9). Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour? He alone can change your “broken egg” life to a perfect one. Trust Him today! You will never be the same!

And he (Jesus) said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God (Luke 18:27).

The Kingdom of heaven is at hand!

Still, Still With Thee

A Tale of Two Future ETERNITIES

In ETERNITY, the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God is without compromise and saturates its ETERNAL state. When a man or women die in an unregenerate state they do not stop from transgressing against the RIGHTEOUS laws and absolutes of Almighty God. 

These FOREVER remain imprisoned in an unregenerate, fallen and lawless estate and must be put in a place that consumes their godless and lawless thoughts (Luke  16:19-22, Rom. 7:14-24). They will FOREVER transgress continually because of their unregenerate estate the ETERNAL absolutes and laws of RIGHTEOUSNESS FOREVER (Rom. 7:7-24, 25, Rev. 22:8). The purifying holiness of Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS fire FOREVER consumes the lawless imaginations and thoughts that arise against Almighty God's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS and thus the flame always burns and the worm NEVER dies (Matt. 25:41, Mark 9:43-44, Rev. 20:11, 21:8, 22:11). WOE! WOE! WOE! To all who reject Almighty God ETERNAL LOVE and saving grace (John 3:16-17; 36)!

The purifying holiness of Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS fire FOREVER consumes the lawless imaginations and thoughts that arise against Almighty God's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS and thus the flame always burns and the worm never dies. WOE! WOE! WOE!

For the redeemed this ETERNAL destiny will NEVER be, for they - by placing their trust in Almighty God's ETERNAL Son - have been delivered from their fallen nature and have been given the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Christ which is for ALL ETERNITY (Rom. 7:24-25; 10:2-4, 1 Cor. 1:30, 2 Cor. 5:21, 1 John 3:1-3, Rev. 1:5, 22:11). In the death of the redeemed, there is great joy for we know that our loved one is in the presence of Almighty God and safe in His ETERNAL loving arms (2 Cor. 5:8). The one who dies in Christ will be finally liberated from the bondage of this fallen world, Satan's oppression and their fallen nature (Gal. 1:4, Rom. 7:24-25, 8:18-23). In the death of the saints is indeed ETERNAL liberation and the joy of ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS (2 Cor. 2:9, Rev. 21-22:1-5). We will, at last, see our Savior and Heavenly Father face to face and be able to enjoy them in the beauty of RIGHTEOUSNESS (John 17:24, Rev. 22:1-5).
.

The one who dies in Christ will be finally liberated from the bondage of this fallen world, Satan's oppression and their fallen nature.

My dear friends, it is Almighty God's great desire for ALL to turn to Him and be delivered from the wrath which is to come against all lawlessness and ungodliness (John 3:16-17). To rebel against Almighty God's command to repent and be saved and to reject His ETERNAL GRACE, MERCY and LOVE is to seek to bring this world's unrighteous rebellion into ETERNITY and this world's lawless consequence with it (Isa. 5:20, 32:17, 57:21, Rom. 1:18-32, Gal.6:7, Rev. 21:8). O dear friends, that can NEVER be nor will it EVER be! There is no ETERNAL peace in lawlessness only the fruits of oppression and violence (Isa. 57:20-21, Luke 16:19-22, Rev. 20:11-15).

My dear friends, Almighty God cries out to you today to repent and be saved (Ezek. 18:32, John 3:17, 1 Tim. 2:4)! Will you hear His voice? The days are getting short and ETERNITY is EVER before us. Please be sure to contact us if you have any questions on how you can know where you will spend your ETERNITY. ONLY in Jesus Christ is found Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS provision for ETERNITY

The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand!

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

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 first guitarist will be greatly remembered by countless fans this March 19th on the 30th anniversary of the plane crash that took and ended so tragically this guitar genius’s life. It is absolutely amazing how time flies. I cannot believe it has been 30 years! To this day I have NEVER forgotten this 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 this 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? They continually ring throughout the music world even today 30 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 evaluate 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.

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 to this day about Randy Rhoads, the countless thoughts of the unknown and the thoughts of what would have been.

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 30th 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.

Almighty God has made ETERNAL provision in His dear and precious Son Jesus Christ for the transgressions of the ENTIRE world, which includes YOU and ME (John 3:16-17, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 John 2:2, 4:10)! That is the REALITY that we as individuals most desperately need to comprehend and understand. May I my dear friend ask you this VERY sobering and pertinent question? How can YOU or I (TRANSGRESSORS of Almighty God’s PERFECT LAW) ever stand before Almighty God our Creator who is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT (RIGHTEOUS)? How can we EVER enter into His PERFECT and HOLY Heaven (Isa. 53:6, 64:6, Rom. 7:24-25, Rev. 21:27)? My dear friends, we NEVER can (Rom. 3:23). It is ABSOLUTELY HOPELESS without God's PERFECT Lamb (John 1:29, 1 Peter 3:18-19, Rev. 1:5). We are in a horrific and desperate NEED for Divine propitiation and a Savior (Rom. 7:24-25, 1 John 2:2, 4:10). My dear friends, it is when one places their absolute trust IN Jesus Christ that individuals transgressions are forgiven and removed and the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Christ – who died in our stead - is transferred unto us (Rom. 4:5, 5:8)! It is IN Christ where our RIGHTEOUSNESS is found alone not in anything we ever can do (Rom. 7:24-25, 10:2-4, Titus 3:5)!

We are in a horrific and desperate need for Divine propitiation and a Savior.

My dear friends as millions reflect on the 30th 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 life in 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?

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
