Christmas Bells Vs Minarets :: By Jim Towers

To my readers, I say sorry I haven’t had time to write, but instead have been handing out my QR cards by the hundreds, knowing that things are only going to get worse from here on in. Things like New York City electing a Muslim Mayor. While in Minnesota, Christianity is being slowly replaced by Islam, and soon we may all hear the Muslim call to worship five times a day from minarets throughout that once great city. Thank God that Texas Governor Abbott has quashed (so far) the desire of Muslims to build a huge Mosque in Texas and so usurp the faith of our founding fathers – Christianity.

The Muslim religion respects no one and is more evangelical than Christians. Furthermore, they are not afraid of death and instead embrace it (while surprisingly, most Christians fear death without cause). Furthermore, we Christians are, for the most part, cowardly in sharing our faith. Already now, some are speculating that within ten years, Muslims will have taken over the country, as they have secret cells all across the country. Today, after the Muslim win in New York, I can see that if we Christians don’t share the Gospel willingly and without fail, we may lose our Christian country altogether because of our apathy.

Today, while handing out my QR cards, I encountered a woman from Sweden who told me she was here to escape from her homeland, which was being taken over by Muslims, just like they took over Lebanon and are making moves to overtake England and France. She then thanked me profusely for my evangelical card. God forbid that Sharia law should happen here in America, where it’s already taken root.

Although we Christians will probably be whisked away in the rapture of the church, many friends and neighbors will be left behind, and worst of all, our very family members and grandchildren.

I’ve got to go now to distribute another batch of QR cards warning others about the end times in which we live and how to prepare.

Books:

Having heard various takes on Albert Einstein’s Faith or lack thereof, I grabbed the book I Am Part of Infinity by Kierian Fox from the public library’s nonfiction shelf. This man has always fascinated me, although I know absolutely nothing about quantum physics (nor do I care to learn about it now). What I want to learn is about what other men, namely, what Biblical prophets and other learned men had to say about God and His doings.

Don’t worry, I’m trusting only in the Bible for inspiration and instruction; I’m not impressed with other men’s thoughts or flights of fancy. If the Bible doesn’t say it, then I simply don’t believe a thing to be true; case closed.

However, seeing this book on the shelf in the library, I was intrigued by the title of it (I Am Part of Infinity) with a photograph of Albert Einstein on the cover. After reading the first few pages, I almost set the book aside, believing that Albert was at best an agnostic – a man from whom I would gain no insight or confirmation of God’s existence that he might have harbored. I almost gave up on him. But then I determined to read on, as I might learn something from this extraordinary genius.

First, I was surprised that he felt remorse for having opened the way for Nuclear Fission and repented of his supposed wrongdoing after the Second World War. Albeit Albert was not a perfect man and couldn’t – like the rest of us – be. Nevertheless, he postulated some very good theories in his prodigious writings (he wrote a lot and kept a diary, no less).

Einstein contended that no one has the right to withdraw from the world of action at a time when civilization faces its supreme test. Einstein’s challenge to each and every one of us was to channel the prodigious creative power that permeated all things and put it to use for pure purposes, saying, “We cannot stand aside and let God do it.” He insisted, whatever there is of God and goodness in the universe, it must work itself out and express itself through US.”

Far too many Christians sit on their hands waiting for the rapture to happen. Little do they know that they will have to answer for their slothfulness and lack of love for their fellow man or even God – their maker.

Religious people, like their heathen brothers, are capable of many unsavory things. However, the Apostle Paul tells us, “It is no longer I who sins, but sin that dwells in me.” We are never perfect but are becoming sanctified by the Holy Spirit as time goes on, and after we have received Christ. That is why I – like Einstein – will not put fleshly fallible men on a pedestal.

He lived to tell of the holocaust that was allowed and propagated by so-called Christian people – and as a Jew, he saw the hypocrisy of corrupt Jewish priests up close. I, for one, can forgive him for that final assumption experienced and seen by rational eyes.

I stopped reading after I finally concluded that the writer was tooting his own horn by knowing all the prominent thinkers of the past. The one thing that stopped me cold was him saying that East Indian holy men could put themselves into trances and not eat for days. So what! I’m thinking – how did that kind of evil behavior ever benefit anyone? Plus, India is one of the most stinking, squalid, and illiterate places on Earth – and these so-called holy men who picked at their belly buttons while contemplating life did nothing to alleviate the suffering of their fellow men. Surely, they and their gods were worthless.

Got Your Mark Yet? :: By Dennis Huebshman

Revelation 13 16-17: “Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one may buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. (ESV – all emphasis is mine.)

There are nations in the world today that are replacing credit/debit cards with a microchip that is implanted in a person’s hand. They weigh less than 1 gram and are encased in a material similar to plastic. To make a purchase, for example, one just needs to pass their hand near an instrument that can read the implanted chip. Then, if their bank account is sufficient, a purchase can be completed without handling any form of currency.

During my lifetime, getting different forms of identification numbers has been instilled in my mind as absolutely normal. Driver’s license, social security, Military ID, phone numbers, and numerous debit and credit cards have become a part of my life. Some I can still quote from memory, even though it’s been decades since I had them.

From what is described in Revelation 13, only one form of identification will be necessary, and it will cover every life application necessary. However, there is a major problem with this.

Revelation 14:9-11 gives a true warning. “And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of His anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the Holy Angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.’”

Some people have said that if they were to be in that time, they would take the mark simply to be able to get necessities. However, the Bible makes it clear that to take the mark is to pledge allegiance to the beast and ultimately to Satan. To make that pledge is to curse our Heavenly Father, Our Lord and Savior, and the Holy Spirit. That is unforgivable.

Today, to pass from this earth without Jesus as your Savior is an automatic appointment at the Great White Throne of Revelation 20:11-15. No one there can seek forgiveness, as all in that line are condemned forever. The Judgment is to determine the degree of punishment each person will receive. It would stand to reason that a person such as Hitler would receive harsher conditions than a person who basically was good but never received and accepted Jesus as Savior. Either way, it’s torment for all eternity.

The best way to avoid all this would be to have already received and accepted Jesus as your eternal Savior before taking your last breath on this earth. With that being the case, you would not even be here for the most terrible seven years this earth will ever experience.

Beginning with 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17:

“But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep [died].

“For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the Trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then, we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.”

In 1 Corinthians 15:51-53, Paul gives a bit more information about this event: “Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last Trumpet. For the Trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.”

All who will be condemned to the lake of fire will have an immortal body that will be designed to receive punishment forever. Needless to say, this will be a most unpleasant experience. There will be no pardons or reduced sentences there.

On the other hand, all who will be spending eternity with Jesus will receive an immortal and imperishable body designed for eternal life in Paradise with our Lord and Savior forever. This will include all pre-Calvary souls who were in the will of the Father, and all from Calvary to the end of this earth who had received and accepted Jesus as their Savior.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to say which body we would all prefer to have. Best news is it’s totally our choice which one we will receive. Our Heavenly Father will not force us either way but will respect whichever choice we make.

Also, the Father has promised that all who have accepted Jesus as their Savior prior to the tribulation will not go through any of it. This is found in 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10, and Revelation 3:10. We will already be with Jesus prior to the antichrist coming out.

As stated, which eternity you are bound for is totally up to each and every individual. Romans 10:9-13 gives the steps to Salvation which are: Admit you’re a sinner in need of a Savior; Believe Jesus is the Son of God and His shed blood on the cross is what has saved all who have received and accepted Him; and finally, Call out to Jesus to be your Savior. This is known as the A-B-Cs of Salvation.

All who do not do so will have an appointment at the Great White Throne – no exceptions. There is no third option, no matter what any false prophet may try to tell you.

Today would be a good time to make your call if you haven’t already done so. Tomorrow is not promised, and the Rapture will be over in less than one second (twinkling of an eye).

If you’re ready to have Jesus as your eternal Savior, He’s ready to take your call. He is never too busy to add another soul to His precious flock (John 10). Call Jesus – Call Him Today – Call Him right now! It’s the most important decision you will ever make in your lifetime.

Shalom! (Peace) Maranatha! (Come, Lord Jesus!)
