Jesus told about numerous signs that would be taking place near the end of this age. Many of them are present today and are gaining in severity. Weather, earthquakes, rumors of wars, hatred, false prophets, antichrist activity, and numerous others. He stated in Luke 21:28, “Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” (ESV – all emphasis mine)

There are those who believe we may already be in the tribulation/wrath period. The problem with this is the evil one, the ultimate antichrist, must be revealed for that awful time to officially start. As 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 states, “And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only He who now restrains it will do so until He is out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of His mouth, and bring to nothing by the appearance of His coming.”

The Holy Spirit is presently holding back this ultimate satanic activity. When the Father gives the word, the Restrainer will allow the evil one to appear, but at that moment, all whom He indwells must be removed to avoid the Wrath as promised by God (1 Thessalonians 1:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10, and Revelation 3:10).

In 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12, “and with all deception for those who are perishing because they refused to love the truth, and so be saved. Therefore, God sends them a strong delusion so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

Everyone today, and up to the Rapture Call, that has received and accepted Jesus as our Eternal Savior has the Holy Spirit within us. Bible verses that verify this are 1 Corinthians 3:16; 1 Corinthians 6:18, Ezekiel 36:27; 2 Timothy 1:14; Romans 8:11; John 16:13; Romans 8:9; Galatians 4:6; 1 John 1:2 and 27 as examples.

Paul gives us examples of the last days of Godlessness in 2 Timothy 3:1-5, and just a cursory look at events taking place worldwide shows all of them to be present now. In fact, anything that even hints of pertaining to Jesus and Christianity is labeled as “hateful.” This is because true believers will not condone or participate in their sin with them, and we are called “haters.” Laws are even being made in a number of places worldwide, and even in America, that are taking parents’ rights away concerning their children.

Jesus gave us the two greatest commandments in Luke 10:27; “And He answered; ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and love your neighbor as yourself.'”

Simply stated, we are to love everyone for their immortal souls. However, as Jesus gave us numerous examples of the religious leaders of His day, we don’t have to like their activities or actually even like them personally. As He stated to them in Matthew 23:24, “You blind guides; straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel.” Yet in Luke 23:34, “and Jesus said, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.” He didn’t like them, but He loved them for their souls.

There has been persecution of believers from Calvary to the present time. In some areas of the world, just to proclaim to be a follower of Jesus or even own a Bible is grounds for martyrdom. During the 7-year tribulation, this will be worldwide.

As believers, our focus is on “The Glory to Come,” which just happens to be the title of another Golden’s song. Dale and Cheryl have a sound that is inspiring all the way to the soul. Their music can be found on YouTube and also Facebook. Please consider the words.

1.) It’s so good to be called one of God’s very own. And it’s so good just to know that He is still on His throne. How my heart does rejoice, in a Heavenly way, as my faith looks ahead to a much brighter day.

Ref.) Where no eye can behold, and not one ear has heard, and no mind can conceive that prepared by my Lord. But by His spirit revealed, the best is yet to be done when we’re changed to be just as He is in the Glory to Come.

2.) I can’t wait for that day when the Lord calls me Home. To be present with Him is what I’m counting on; all my words can’t express what I anticipate of the riches untold that in Heaven await. (Ref x 2)

When we’re changed to be just as He is in the glory to come, in the glory to come.

It’s not pleasant to see all the negative changes taking place, but for all true believers, it’s actually a time of inspiration. We know that anything God promised in the past was fulfilled completely. When we’re told that we will be taken up to meet Jesus in the air to be kept from the coming wrath, it will happen! The Ezekiel 38 coalition has come together for the first time. Israel is being threatened daily. Russia, Turkey, and Iran are all facing financial issues, and then there is that tiny country with all that wealth. Today, Iran is threatening an all-out attack soon, and they believe they can totally eliminate Israel.

Jesus will accept all who will truly call out to Him to be saved (Romans 10:9-13). No one has sinned so great that His blood cannot cleanse them. As with any pending journey, it is always best to have your reservation in advance. Today would not be too early to call on Jesus for your Salvation. Tomorrow could just be a bit late, depending on the plans of our Heavenly Father. We don’t know the day or hour of the Rapture, but nothing else has to take place before the Trumpet of God sounds and there is the shout from an archangel.

The Glory to Come beats any other option. All who refuse to accept Jesus will go through the Revelation 20:11-15 White Throne Judgment. There are no pardons there, and it is the lake of fire forever.

Do not gamble with your forever soul. Call on Jesus and be guaranteed to be with Him forever. Your Choice – Your eternal destination.

Come, Lord Jesus!

The title of my previous article was “As It Was in the Days of Noah.” Yesterday I went to the nearest Publix supermarket to get some ready-made Cole slaw to go with the fish and chips we were having for supper. I sometimes have arthritic pain in my hips, so I rode one of the battery-powered carts provided for their customers.

While I was checking out, I noticed a carryout boy yawning at the end of the aisle next to the one I was in. Since I try to talk to everyone that captures my attention, I said to him, “That’s what you get for staying up late playing video games.” He was startled and looked at me as if to say, “How did you know?” Well, I’m not a psychic nor a prophet; I just love people and try to be friendly – but more than that, it’s common knowledge that most young men do just that.

In any case, he followed me out of the store to retrieve the cart I rode out to my Chevy S10. “Are you really a writer?” he asked, noticing my cap with “Writer” emblazoned on the front. The young man continued, “I want to be a writer someday.”

“Well then, you’d better learn the English language as best you can and practice, practice, practice.” I added, “By the way, I just finished writing a book about my days as a professional character actor in movies.”

We made small talk when he said something to the effect that Hollywood was becoming an evil place, to which I responded, the whole world is becoming more and more evil than ever before, and I stated my reasons for thinking that way. Once or twice, he began to object, saying, “It’s always been that way.” I agreed, but then I added a few obvious anomalies to back up what I had said.

We reached my truck, and before I began witnessing to him, I inadvertently looked at his name tag. It read “Noah”!

Immediately, I said, “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man be.” I recounted a little of the Bible story, and just as I was about to lead him to Christ, a man pulled up and cut me short by asking where the nearest hardware store was. I gave Noah my card and told him to check out my latest article on Rapture Ready. If he did as I told him, he would have come across my article, “As it was in the days of Noah”! Was that (as hippies would say) serendipity, coincidence, or what?

The man looking for a hardware store showed up just in time to thwart our conversation. So now, I will have to see Noah again, present the Gospel, and give him a Bible.

Book report

It’s good to know that Major Pete Garcia (an excellent writer) has co-authored a book with our prophecy expert Terry James. I will have to order it and see what these powerful men of God have to say.

Also, I just finished reading This Was CNN by Kent Heckenlively and Cary Poarch, which was about Cary (a whistleblower) who wore a wire and recorded conversations at CNN that exposed the rampant political bias reported by Project Veritas – having to do with the election of Joe Biden. It turns out that many in that organization were perverts as well as liars and adulterers who interfered in the presidential election. Corrupt CNN was deeply immersed in phony and biased information, bringing them down to now – big lying nothing burger.

Perry Stone never appealed to me; I always viewed him as a handsome hotshot, self-promoting televangelist, but I bought a used book of his written six years ago. The title of the book was Nightmare Along Pennsylvania Avenue, and I was glad I did. (Early on, I said I was neither a clairvoyant nor a prophet but just a guy from the block.) Nevertheless, as I began reading – which I do every night at bedtime along with the Bible to digest what I read as I sleep – low and behold, that man can write well! Best of all was that he espoused many of the same things I believed about the political and spiritual landscape of the United States and everything in between. All that he said in the book that would happen six years ago has happened! Albeit we of his ilk also saw these things beginning to take shape at that same time, but he lays all the who’s and whys precisely, which takes an enormous amount of research.

I was blown away like a feather. Obviously, this man is gifted. (I just wish he’s quit cranking his neck the way he does to exude cockiness and confidence.)

Now, on to my incredible story, Dreams, Visions, Miracles, Peace and Power. I really can’t explain why I wrote this story of my life, but I suppose that it was because so many of us Christians were apathetic couch and pew potatoes back when I began writing – and I wanted to encourage them to be more evangelical. On top of that, I wanted to let them know that God always has the back of anyone who dares to buck the system and stand up for His kingdom, come hell or high water. In reading my book, you will find that I began sharing my testimony with others the day after my conversion over forty-five years ago.

After the vision and subsequent encounter with Satan, I felt that it was my calling to reach out to others, knowing that many people were hellbound.

Today, I prepare to share my story on eBooks and eventually in book form, and frankly, I am tired of all the work it entailed, so I thought I’d buy a little rowboat and go fishing for the rest of my life. But as I see all the grievous happenings in our country and around the world, I’ve decided to end my life fighting the good fight instead – come hell or high water. Now is not the time to quit, especially as we see the rapture of the church about to take place and the time of tribulation about to set in.

Note: In my book, I also share my many supernatural miracles, dealings with the unsaved, and the ethereal encounters of others who experienced angels, ghosts, demon possession, and UFO sightings. I am glad I never had to experience such things.

It was enough to have God speak to me in an unmistakable audible voice with coherent words.
