Send The Light :: By Dennis Huebshman

Published on: by RR10 Category:General Articles

There is a darkness creeping in from just about every area of our world today. The sun may be shining brightly, but the increase in evil and abominations are overshadowing the Light. The pace is gaining speed daily, and we should be aware of what is about to happen. (ESV all emphasis is mine)

More are being drawn to the dark forces of evil than to our Everlasting Light – Jesus the Christ. Our Savior is not the least bit surprised about this, which is evidenced by His statement in Matthew 7:13-14; “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter it are many. for the gate is narrow, and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”

John 3:19-20 followed by John 12:46; “And this is the judgment, the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light, because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his works should be exposed. John 12:46, “I have come into the world as Light, so that whoever believes in Me may not remain in darkness.”

Matthew 5:16, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in Heaven.”

John 8:12, “Again, Jesus spoke to them saying, ‘I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness but will have the Light of Life.’”

John provided a very special accolade to the Lord in 1 John 1:5-7; “This is the message we have heard from Him and proclaim to you that God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk in darkness, we lie, and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

In 2 Corinthians 6:14, Paul gives us a warning about turning to the ways of the world. “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?”

Going to Colossians 1:13-14, we’re told, “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the Kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

Ephesians 5:6-10; “Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things, the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore, do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of Light, for the fruit of Light is found in all that is good and right and true; and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.”

Needless to say, the Bible is loaded with references to light, the first being Genesis 1:3; “And God said, ‘Let there be light; and there was light.’”

Our greatest nemesis, Satan, is the prince of darkness, and Ephesians 6:12 states, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic power over this present darkness; against the forces of evil in the Heavenly places.”

Even though Satan was cast out of the presence of the Lord (Ezekiel 28:16-17), and the lake of fire has been made specifically for him and his demons (Matthew 25:41), God is allowing him latitude for end-time prophecy to be completed. When the time is right, Satan will be taken completely out of the picture (Revelation 20:10).

All who from creation to Calvary that were out of the will of the Father, and all from Calvary to the end of this earth who did not receive and accept Jesus as their Savior will join Satan in that lake of fire forever. There will be no light in that horrible place, as the Savior appropriately called it, “the outer darkness.” There will be no opportunity for forgiveness or any limited sentences. It’s forever.

For all who were in the will of the Father prior to Calvary, and all who will have received and accepted Jesus as Savior from then to the end of this earth, we will be in the Light with the Light. There will be no need for sun, moon, or any other form of light except for Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

As believers, we pray that all our loved ones, acquaintances, and just everyone we know will be influenced by the Holy Spirit to receive the Light. Charles S. Gabriel (1856 – 1932) wrote “Send the Light” in 1890, and it is a popular hymn even today.

1.) There’s a call comes ringing o’er the restless wave; “Send the Light; Send the Light.” There are souls to rescue, there are souls to save; “Send the Light; Send the Light.”

Ref.) Send the Light, the Blessed Gospel Light; let it shine, from shore to shore. Send the Light, the Blessed Gospel Light; let it shine forevermore.

2.) We have heard the Macedonian call today; “Send the Light; Send the Light.” And a golden offering at the cross we lay; “Send the Light; Send the Light.” (ref)

3.) Let us pray that grace everywhere abounds; “Send the Light; Send the Light.” Ad a Christ-like spirit everywhere be found; “Send the Light; Send the Light.” (ref)

(4) Let us not grow weary in the work of love; “Send the Light; Send the Light.” Let us gather jewels for a crown above; “Send the Light; Send the Light.” (ref)

As the evil continues to increase, we need to look even closer to our Eternal Light for strength to get through these troubling times. We are at the threshold of the worst 7-year period of time this world has ever seen. For the precious true flock of the Shepherd, we will not go through that wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10; and Revelation 3:10).

All who enter that tribulation/wrath will still be able to call out to be saved, but most likely at the cost of their lives. To choose Jesus today could be the absolute best decision you could ever make. To decide to wait until later could be the biggest mistake ever. Jesus will take your “call” anytime, night or day. God will force no one to choose Jesus as it’s totally a free-will choice that each and every individual must make for themselves.

Romans 10:13; “All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” No matter what you have done in the past, you can still come to the Light for forgiveness. His precious sinless blood covers all the sins this world will ever make, but only for those who will receive and accept his perfect gift.

Call on Jesus – Call on Him today!

Maranatha! (Come, Lord Jesus!)

Memorandum :: By Terry James

Published on: by RR10 Category:General Articles, Terry James

Author’s note: This is a Christmas gift of forewarning. It is the order of terrible events prophetically scheduled to take place during the Tribulation. The memorandum is given in love and in advance for those who will choose to be left behind after the removal of believers to Heaven rather than accept God’s grace gift of salvation through His Son Jesus Christ, whose birthday we celebrate today.

Please consider the following grace gift from the Lord who created you and who desires that you be part of His family for all eternity. Follow God’s prescription in this promise. Then, the memorandum that follows will not be for you but for others who have rejected the grace gift offer prior to the Rapture of all believers in Christ for salvation.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).

MEMORANDUM

Date: (Unknown)

To: Everyone left on planet Earth

From: Those who have vanished

Re: The truth about what happened

This is to tell you exactly what is involved in the sudden disappearance of people around the world. It’s as simple as this: We who belong to Christ were called into the air above the planet in the Rapture. Yes, that kooky, ridiculous, pie-in-the-sky, fly-away event that Tim LaHaye and other preachers of what you’ve thought of as fantasy have been proclaiming could happen at any moment did, in fact, happen.

You are hearing, or will soon hear, every conceivable explanation of what caused this astonishing disappearance. Here are our guesses as to what some of those explanations will be:

  • It was some sort of quantum evolutionary leap, which will ultimately be great for mankind.
  • It was a mass abduction by extraterrestrials—an outgrowth of the singular abductions that have been reported over the years.
  • It was a natural, scientifically explainable cosmic interaction that some human physiologies could resist and others couldn’t.
  • It was a supernatural movement into a higher form for those who disappeared–an ascension to godhood.
  • It was punishment from the great cosmogonical mind, removing the evil from the world.

Don’t believe any of these or other explanations. To find out the absolute truth about what the mass vanishing actually involves, read in the Bible 1 Corinthians 15:51-55 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Also read John 14:1-3 to find out where we who vanished are presently located.

Now that we are gone, and our leaving has everything to do with your immediate future—the following will happen in order very similar to that listed here.

These and other events will occur over the next seven years:

  • Total chaos will rule for a time. (Lk. 21: 25)
  • Governments will get control through sometimes harsh methods. (Rev. 17: 12-13)
  • One world government will come together. (Ps. 2: 1-3)
  • A one-world church will form. (Rev. Ch. 17)
  • A world leader from Europe will step to the forefront and take charge of the peace process. (Dan. 9: 26-27)
  • Israeli government and Israel’s enemies will sign an agreement of peace that ensures peace and safety. (Dan. 9: 27; Isa. 28: 18; 1 Thes. 5: 3)
  • Peace will not last, as a coalition of nations—led by Russia—will invade the Middle East. (Ezek. 38:1-12)
  • God, himself, will destroy all but one-sixth of the invader forces. (Ezek. 39: 1-5)
  • Much of the world will be hit by the deadly effects of the invasion. This will possibly include chemical, biological, and nuclear aftereffects. (Ezek. 39:6-7; 11-16)
  • The world leader will solidify his power following the Russian-led coalition’s destruction. (Dan. 8: 23-25; 11: 36-39)
  • Two Old-Testament-type prophets will come on the world scene and preach about Christ while condemning the world’s evil. (Rev. 11: 3-6)
  • Meanwhile, God will put His protection upon 144,000 Jews who have converted to Christianity so that they can begin to preach God’s saving message to the people of the Tribulation. (Rev. 7: 3-8)
  • At the same time, God will allow strong delusion to come over all who heard the Gospel before the Rapture, but, fully understanding the offer of salvation, refused to accept Christ. These will believe the lies of Antichrist and Satan. (2 Thes. 2: 11-12)
  • Antichrist, after months of trying, will finally murder the two Old-Testament-type prophets. But they will come back to life and be taken into Heaven while the world watches. (Rev. 11: 11-12)
  • Antichrist will receive a supposedly deadly head wound (Rev. 13: 3).
  • Satan and his fallen angels will fight God’s forces, be kicked out of Heaven by Michael and his angels, and will be exiled to planet Earth, where Satan will bring great anger against those who live there (Revelation chapter 12).
  • The False Prophet will perform supposed miracles and will call fire down from Heaven –which likely will involve light-like orbs that are those of Satan’s force thrown down to Earth (Revelation chapter 13).
  • Antichrist will appear to resurrect from the dead, being then possessed by Satan. (13: 3-4)
  • Antichrist will sit in the Temple on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. He will claim to be God and demand worship. (2 Thes. 2: 3-4)
  • The False Prophet will direct all worship to Antichrist, and will erect an image of him. (Rev. 13:11-17)
  • Antichrist’s regime will institute a computer mark-and-numbers system. It will be both to control the world’s populations and to cause all to worship Antichrist, whose number in all of this is 666. (Rev. 13: 16-18)
  • Those who refuse to accept Antichrist’s mark will be murdered. Beheading will apparently be the regime’s chosen method of offing these “traitors.” (Rev. 13: 15; 20: 4)
  • Antichrist will begin a systematic genocide against the Jewish race that will make Hitler’s Holocaust look mild by comparison. (Rev. Ch. 12)
  • He and the False Prophet will also have all the new believers they can find rounded up, tortured, then murdered. (John. 16: 2; Rev. 13: 8)
  • While Antichrist hunts down and murders people by the millions, God’s judgments will begin to fall directly on the rebellious people of the planet. (Rev. 6: 17)
  • Millions upon millions will die while God’s wrath pours out in a series of three types of judgments, each consisting of seven specific judgments, for a total of 21 judgments. (Rev. chapters 6 through 18)
  • When all is said and done, more than half, possibly as much as two-thirds, of all human life will die of the plagues. (Rev. 6:8; 8:8; 9:18)
  • God will prepare, and the Jewish remnant will flee to, a hiding place, probably Petra, the ancient city carved in the rose-red-colored rocks of the Jordanian wilderness. (Rev. 12: 6, 14)
  • Antichrist and his forces, led by Satan, will pursue the Jewish people and try to murder them, but the pursuing forces will be swallowed up by the earth. (Rev. 12: 15-16)
  • While the Jewish and many of the Gentile people still alive remain safely protected, God’s wrath will fall in greater force. (Rev. 16: 1)
  • The sun will go partly dark while at the same time heating up to seven times hotter than normal. (Rev. 16: 8-11)
  • A great object will fall into the ocean from space. Its impact will kill life in the sea and most likely will destroy coastal areas with tidal waves. (Rev. 8: 8-9)
  • Another asteroid or other mass from space will strike Earth and will poison much of the planet’s fresh water sources. (Rev. 8: 10-11)
  • Great, unprecedented earthquakes will happen simultaneously all over the earth. (Matt. 24: 7; Rev. 16: 18)
  • People will be so frightened they will have heart attacks just from the things they see are yet to come. (Lk. 21: 26)
  • A supernatural plague of huge insect-like creatures will be released from the abyss, and they will sting all who have the mark of the Beast. Men and women will try to commit suicide because of their great pain from the stings and bites of these demonic creatures. (Rev. 9: 3-6)
  • God will then move in the minds of all military forces on Earth to gather in the valley of Jezreel, the plains of Esdraelon, near the ancient city of Megiddo. This is Armageddon. (Joel 3: 14; Rev. 16: 16)
  • The “Kings of the East,” a huge army out of the Orient numbering more than 200 million troops, will invade to make war with Antichrist’s and the other world’s forces. (Rev. 9: 15-16; 16: 12)
  • Jesus said of this time that if He didn’t come back, everyone and everything would die because of the fighting about to take place. (Matt. 24: 22; Mark 13: 20)
  • Jesus will return with the armies of Heaven. His armies consist of the mighty angels and Jesus’ Church, which will have been raptured at least seven years earlier. (Rev. 19: 11-14)
  • Antichrist’s armies and all others will try to prevent Christ’s return. (Rev. 19: 19)
  • Jesus will simply speak, and all armies on Earth will be rendered helpless, most killed. (19: 15-18)

You have only one chance to survive:

Accept Jesus Christ as Savior (read John, chapter 3).
This will involve refusing to take Antichrist’s mark when it is instituted. If you accept the mark, you are eternally doomed.

To those not appointed to God’s wrath (1 Thes. 5:9-11): perhaps you should pass this memorandum to your lost family and friends before you vanish.

Then, post it on your refrigerator.
