Preach The Word :: By Dennis Huebshman

2 Timothy 4:1-5; “I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearance and His Kingdom: preach the Word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke and exhort with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth, and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” (ESV – all emphasis mine)

When Paul said in Verse 3, “For the time is coming…,” that time is here right now and is in full force. One issue is found in 2 Peter 3:3-4; “knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days, with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the father’s fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.'”

One question here; are all things continuing as they were? Changes that started taking place about a decade ago are moving faster and faster toward the introduction of the ultimate evil one and the start of the 7-year wrath or tribulation. For anyone to try and give dates or times, there are numerous verses about this. The issues have always been with us but not to the degree as now, and not all at once as now.

Matthew 24:36 and 44; “But concerning that day and hour, no one knows, not even the angels of Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only…. Therefore, you must also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

Some may ask why Jesus didn’t know the day or hour that He would return in the future. We have to remember that He allowed Himself to be fully human, lower than the angels (Hebrews 2:7) before the crucifixion, but afterward, He was still fully God. Jesus is one-third of the Holy Trinity, and yet the way He came to this earth and ultimately was martyred in a most cruel way speaks volumes of the Love our Creator has for us.

Philippians 2:6-8; “who though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God as a thing to be grasped; but emptied Himself by taking the form of a servant; being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death; even death on a cross.”

No so-called manmade deity would ever fill this role as our true Savior did. He has the absolute right to be called “Lord of Lords” and “King of Kings.” He is our perfect Shepherd and truly loves His flock of believers.

One point here: Jesus came to this earth for the benefit of every living, breathing soul that would receive and accept His precious gift of eternal life, given for us at Calvary. He does not look at skin color or social standing in any way and is willing to forgive all of our sins if we call out to Him for forgiveness.

With the price He paid, is it any wonder that anyone who refuses to ask His forgiveness and have Him in their heart as their Savior will not be in Heaven with Him forever? Their destiny is with Satan and all his demons in the lake of fire after appearing at the Great White Throne Judgment of Revelation 20:11-15.

We all have the free will to choose to live forever with our Savior in Heaven or to be in hell forever without Him. No one will be forced, but all who sincerely call on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:9-13 gives us the steps that lead to Salvation.

When it is said to “Preach The Word,” please consider John 1:1-3; “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made.”

John 3:16-18 tells about the magnitude of God’s love, but it also ends with a definite warning. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.” This same message is given in 1 John 5:10-12.

Anyone who wants to “Preach The Word” needs to read James 3:1; “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.” The Father will hold all who present themselves as teachers or preachers of the Word to be totally accountable for every message they give.

Going to a secular movie, “Oh, God,” there was a line that George Burns, who played God, spoke that still applies today. He was talking about a “prosperity preacher,” and George said, “He gives a whole lot of words, but just none of mine.”

All the new-age preachers that are tickling itching ears with unbiblical messages will be held accountable for every word they use. Personally, I would rather have others get upset with me for telling them the truth than have the Father get angry with me for preaching unbiblical messages. Paul’s message to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4 should be foremost on every person’s mind when they start a sentence with “God said.”

Please know that the pure message of our Heavenly Father, Jesus our Savior, and the Holy Spirit that dwells within all true believers does not change with passing time. What was given 2,000 plus years ago is the same as if just given today. What God called “abominations” are still just that.

Nothing that is happening today surprises Our Heavenly Trinity, as everything that is taking place is in prophecy as given to us in the Bible. Jesus plainly said in Luke 21:28 that when all these things “begin” to happen, His coming will not be very far off. We don’t know how long that “soon” will be, but it gets shorter each day.

Just remember 2 Thessalonians 2, which tells us there is an evil one waiting to come forth. He cannot appear before the “influence that restrains him” is removed. That would be the Holy Spirit, which means all those He indwells will be removed first. That would be the Rapture as described in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 and 1 Corinthians 15: 51-53.

Our Father will force no one to receive and accept the gift that is offered, but all who truly call on Jesus will be saved (Romans 10:13). Satan loves to try and pull as many believers away from the Savior as possible. He uses every evil temptation he can, and occasionally we do slip and sin. That is why God gives us the pathway to forgiveness in 1 John 1:8-10.

The Word is there for all to see, hear and read if anyone would so desire. There are some faux bibles out there, so be sure to get one that is from reliable sources. Any that would reference God as “she” or states that the “abominations” no longer apply need to be rejected; period.

We have the Word as our Savior. Please honor Him by giving out the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Amen!

Come, Lord Jesus!

The Prophetic Significance of the Death of Queen Elizabeth II

Several years ago, I noticed our society is being influenced by something that has a direct impact on Bible prophecy. It is a very long-term factor, but it will guide how prophecy unfolds. As one generation dies off, it is replaced by one that is further away from God’s will.

Of the people under the age of 30, nearly 70% have no religious affiliation, they largely support gay marriage, and the majority of them support people who wish to change their gender. They are so liberal in their politics that they would turn America into a one-party nation. Even now, many cities are so heavily controlled by the Democratic party, Republicans don’t even bother to field a candidate.

Queen Elizabeth was generally private about her political views. She saw her role as one who should be on the side that sought the greater good. If the prime minister was from Labor or the Tories, she would give them the same advice.

Many will say that the British monarchy is a bunch of rubbish that is just a huge waste of money. England votes for the people who set the real laws. The queen’s role in government is restricted and largely symbolic. This is a good thing because the British monarchy once had absolute power over the people.

During her 70 years in power, Queen Elizabeth gave up all of her colonial claims. I couldn’t find an example where she sought to expand her power. She wisely realized the British Empire could only be an alliance of equals that shared the benefits of being part of Great Britain. The people of Scotland recently voted on staying or leaving the union, and they decided that staying was the best option.

What Queen Elizabeth lacked in political power, she more than made up in being a great diplomat. She met with hundreds of political leaders and addressed all manners of problems. The general history of the world involves mankind either fighting or talking. Queen Elizabeth had amazing skill at bringing together political opponents. Brian Mulroney, Canadian prime minister between 1984 and 1993, said Elizabeth was a “behind the scenes force” in ending apartheid in South Africa.

Even though Queen Elizabeth was very popular with the public, the liberal media couldn’t help taking a stab at her because of their general hatred of all white people. The New York Times quoted Uju Anya, a Nigeria-born professor at Carnegie Mellon University, who posted a tweet in which she wished the queen “excruciating” pain on her deathbed for overseeing a “thieving raping genocidal empire.”

Buzzfeed gave a voice to Scaachi Koul, who said, “I don’t care that the Queen is dead. She had a good run, and I didn’t know her, so why should I waste the six tears I am allotted per year on a stranger? The only reason I’m here is that I delight in upsetting Europeans, a long-held tradition of nonwhite Canadians for at least a century and a half.”

“The monarchy is defunct, its members are institutionally powerless, and now the Queen is dead. The world is moving on past what the monarchy gave us or, rather, what the monarchy took. Diana’s gone, Meghan’s making podcasts in Palo Alto, and you want me to feel sad that the Queen died? Pass. Save your tears for something that matters.”

Both of these women are disgusting individuals. Most of their writings are laced with profanity, and they have a self-serving fixation on racism. A third-world prostitute would have a better claim of moral superiority than these two dingbats.

I hope the best for King Charles III, but I’m very doubtful that he will come anywhere close to matching his mother’s legacy. Charles has already made several errors that show he lacks good judgment. His failed marriage to Princess Diana is at the top of any list. Charles is a big-time environmentalist. He said that climate change skeptics are playing “a reckless game of roulette” with the planet’s future and are having a “corrosive effect” on public opinion. Charles said he would vow to be a “Defender of Faith” as king, but he came across as a universalist by “ensuring that other people’s faiths can also be practiced.”

A key reason why good people are dearly missed is that most people don’t do anything positive in the world. If you try to bring peace to the world, you have a right to complain about the lack of it.

“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9).

Prepping for the Prince that Shall Come

Prepping for terrible times ahead, anticipated by the entire spectrum of those garnering goods and shelters in order to survive, saturates the many blogs that predict world-wide collapse into dystopia. This prepping includes many who are Christians –true believers in Jesus Christ for their Salvation.

This is the case, despite God’s prophetic Word plainly teaching that there is no preparation, apart from relying totally on God, alone, that can guarantee even a modicum of safety in that most horrendous time of history to come –the Tribulation. And believers of this age won’t endure that terrible time at any rate.

But this isn’t the prepping that is the subject of this commentary.

My thought is to address the preparations we can see being made by the minions, both demonic and human, of Ephesians 6: 12. The principalities and powers in high places which, unwittingly and unknowing, perhaps, in the case of the human minions, are preparing the way for human history’s most terrible tyrant.

And boy! Is that preparation ever taking shape in ways and at speed which prophecy Watchers from the pretrib perspective find truly astonishing?!

As stated in previous attempts to cover what is happening with regard to things shaping up for the ending to this Church Age(Age of Grace,)I’m convinced that evil assaults on children constitutes a major signal of just how near the beginning of the Tribulation must be.      

Satan is preparing the hearts of fallen mankind to accept every form of wickedness in paving the road for his Antichrist’s regime to take power. The devil is more and more focusing his attack on the United States of America, because this nation is the last bastion of liberty in terms of human government. America also, despite speeding into anti-God behavior on practically every level of society and culture, still maintains the Light of God’s Salvation Message in which He Invites the world to accept His Grace Gift. –Thus the attack increases almost hour to hour.

One such report shows this as plainly as it can be shown, I believe. The once seemingly innocent Walt Disney productions, as I heard recently are banishing Prince Charming and is instead bringing in the prince of darkness. The following are a few excerpts of that report.

“Little Demon,” a new animated show about a woman who mates with Satan and produces the Antichrist, is raising eyebrows and making cultural waves.

But amid the cacophony of frustrated retorts to the show — which airs on the Disney-owned network FXX and stars Danny DeVito as Satan — faith leaders and media experts are sounding some consequential theological and practical alarms for parents and children alike.

“I … can’t believe that this show exists,” Mike Signorelli, senior pastor of V1 Church in New York City, told CBN’s Faithwire. “I think if we could go back 30 years … everybody would universally be shocked and appalled.”

Disturbing Storylines

Signorelli isn’t exaggerating the situation, as the promotional language for “Little Demon” alone showcases the disturbing themes and images embedded in the show — violence, paganism, and satanic storylines cloaked in attempted comedy.

“Thirteen years after being impregnated by Satan, a reluctant mother, Laura, and her Antichrist daughter, Chrissy, attempt to live an ordinary life in Delaware but are constantly thwarted by monstrous forces, including Satan, who yearns for custody of his daughter’s soul,” reads the show’s description.

Signorelli said “Little Demon” is the fulfillment of what happens when morals and ethics slowly erode and decay, sending culture on a slippery slope that tragically yields such a strange moment.

“What happens is, things incrementally change year over year to where you can accept what you would have never accepted in a previous generation,” he said. “As a Christian, I believe that the enemy is after our children. We wrestle not against flesh and blood but principalities powers and rulers in high places.”

Considering the purported paganistic themes in “Little Demon,” one of the quotes about the series that is circulating comes from actress Aubrey Plaza, who plays Laura.

“I love that we are normalizing paganism,” Plaza said while speaking about the show during an event this summer. “Laura is a pagan. She’s a witch. She’s jacked.”

(I can’t believe this show exists’: Network unleashes ‘Little Demon’ about woman mating with Satan, WND News Services, September 7, 2022 )

Lucifer and his minions are determined that America blocks the blueprint for the regime that will thwart Heaven’s prophetic Blueprint for mankind. So the assaults intensify. Demonic forces seem to be concentrating on demolishing the moral center of America, and seem to be successful to this point.

I remember placing the transcript of a warning issued by one of the nation’s top broadcast conscience-stimulating voices in my very first book –Storming Toward Armageddon—30 years or more ago. I will leave you with this once again. Paul Harvey’s prescience in delivering this stunning message and I believe delivering it for us at this moment, must have been Heaven-Directed.

PAUL HARVEY’S ‘IF I WERE THE DEVIL’ TRANSCRIPT

If I were the devil … If I were the Prince of Darkness, I’d want to engulf the whole world in darkness. And I’d have a third of its real estate, and four-fifths of its population, but I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree — Thee.  So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first — I’d begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: ‘Do as you please.’
