There is a sense of anticipation swirling around the world in these days.

For some, it is disconcerting. Things don’t have a feeling of “another day, another dollar.”

For many, it is an unidentifiable uncertainty. Long-range planning no longer carries the comfort that it will be realized at some point like it once did.

For many others, it is a fading hope that human government will be able to provide real “peace and safety,” and the sense that these things are, instead, only becoming more tenuous.

Many thought that the reelection of Donald Trump would bring that feeling of “peace and security” that they longed to have back, and so they placed all their hope in him.

For most, despite the election results, that disquieting feeling of an uncertain future is still hanging around in the corners of their minds, but instead of remaining safely parked there, the unease has moved from the corners and into the forefront.

So, many are looking for answers to this dilemma, and there are very many of those purported answers swirling around the world today.

Like an auto accident at a busy intersection where there are many eyewitnesses: when they are asked to give a report, no two of them are exactly the same. Each one claims to be accurate, but each testimony is different. In evaluating this, we can only draw one of two conclusions. Either everyone is wrong. Or only one is right. Once that reality has been acknowledged, the investigation can move forward.

The same reality applies to the search for an explanation for the unease and anxiety of the present day. People want to put their hope somewhere or in someone trustworthy.

Hope is only as good as who or what it is grounded in.

We can decide that everyone is wrong, perhaps because we are tired of everyone claiming to be the one that is right and in possession of “the truth,” so we wrongly decide that we can afford to just “wait and see” or we can seek to find the Truth and receive the peace that it provides. But that will fail if it is not driven by right motivations and a willingness to accept the results.

There are many “religions” in the world that claim to have the answer or “truth.” That includes the New World Order, the Globalists with their “wisdom,” and the frenetic, man-caused Climate Change chicanery. They are all religions in disguise.

Whether obvious on the surface or buried below it, they all share a common thread: You will have to “join up,” “work at it,” or some amalgamation of both in order to be accepted into whatever their orthodoxy postulates as truth. Shifting sand.

That is where all man-made “religions” ultimately lead, but there is an alternative, and it is like the one accident report that is true, but it is not a religion at all.

It is a Relationship between the One and Only God and any person who is earnestly and honestly seeking to know the Truth.

“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).

Truth has a Name, and that Name is Jesus Christ. The Name above all names.

What makes Jesus Christ, and therefore Christianity, the only Truth? After all, many others say they have the truth as well and claim that there are many paths to God.

Only the Eternal God of the Bible has given prophecies about the many events He had predestined to take place hundreds or, in many cases, thousands of years into the future and then ensured that they did take place at their proper time and in the tiniest detail. That includes His Son, the One and Only Redeemer for all who would believe in Him.

Thus far, in God’s timing, they have been fulfilled, but God is not yet done.

No “religion” dares to provide predictive prophecy because they cannot do anything but guess and be wrong or, if they are close, it is by accident. Close is only that: close.

There is an old saying: “close but no ceegar!” It means not good enough. You weren’t completely accurate – so you don’t receive the prize. There is no room for almost.

That and the total absence of Grace, real Mercy, real Love, and real Forgiveness are another plumb line that defines and separates this Relationship from man-imagined religion.

Only the One true God loves us enough to tell us the Truths we need to hear. If you truly want to know Truth, and seek it with your whole heart, consider the simple logic of these Truths that God has provided to anyone who is willing to listen:

“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23) Emphasis added.

If you are willing, go look in a mirror and ask yourself, “Am I perfect, and have I never sinned?” I believe you will get your answer. I did, and the Truth set me free.

Now to the crux of this article.

God tells us the Truth in the above verses.

He knew we would sin, but He created us anyway. We sinned just like He knew we would. We fell under the penalty of death just like He said we would.

But then, at His appointed time, He sent His Son, Jesus, who willingly stretched out His arms, assumed our guilt, and allowed Himself to die in our place. The Father suffered right along with Him. That is how much He loves us. But He was and is not yet done.

You have likely seen or heard this a thousand times. Perhaps that is the point.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

Maybe this time (John 3:16) seems closer to that Truth that you have been searching for. Perhaps if you haven’t been searching, you’ll get the sense that you should. Then maybe you might open the door to Him and the eternal life he offers (Revelation 3:20).

When Jesus had paid the full price for our salvation, He said for anyone who has ears to hear: “Tetelestai” – It Is Finished. Then He died. And that part was finished. But God was not yet done.

Three days later, He rose from death to life, just as He promised. The final proof that He is who He said He is and that Truth really does have a Name.

“Death has been swallowed up in victory” (1 Corinthians 15:54).

That action confirmed the reality of the Truth that Jesus had indeed conquered death.

“No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father” (John 10:18) Emphasis added.

It was all part of God’s plan from the beginning, and it is all summed up in a simple statement by Jesus Himself:

“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6).

It’s up to you to believe, and if you accept the Truth, turn from sin and self, and turn to God, then your search is over, and the Adventure can begin. With the weight of sin removed, eternal life becomes real. Jesus is knocking (Revelation 3:20).

The special message I promised you:

You can have hope. You can have the peace that Jesus has promised to all who have made Him their Lord and Savior. The peace that passes understanding.

It requires that you come before God on His terms and that you do so in your living years.

And, what are His terms according to His Word?

• Genuine repentance (turning to God instead of continuing to reject or ignore Him).
• Confession of sins (that you are a sinner and acknowledge that to God).
• That you understand that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
• To acknowledge to God that you are unable to pay that debt.
• Belief that Jesus Christ paid your death sentence for you on the cross and rose from the grave three days later, conquering death, just as He promised.
• To believe that Jesus is the Way, the only Way, that God has established by which humans may be saved from the consequences of their sin and rebellion.

God has made it absolutely clear that there is no one who comes before Him, under His terms, that will be refused.

• No one: no race, no color, no country of origin, regardless of any previous belief system: no one.
• No matter what your past sins have been, God can and WILL forgive you because He says He will.
• Salvation is available to everyone without any exceptions.

If you put all your trust for salvation in Jesus, and Him only, you can follow that prayer up by simply saying, “Thank you, Father God, for hearing my prayer and saving me,” because we can trust Him to keep His Word. He always has. He always will.

“Truly, Truly, I say to you that he who hears My words and believes the One who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned. He has crossed from death to life” (John 5:24).

There are no answers and there is no hope in the world by governments, organizations, politics or politicians. There are only lies and deception. But you can have the Truth and the peace you seek.

The answers are in the Word of God—The Bible. If you ask God, with all your heart, He will hear you.

“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).

John 16:33; “I have said these things to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 14:6; “Jesus said to him [Thomas], I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.” And then Acts 4:12; “And there is Salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (ESV – all emphasis is mine).

Changes taking place in this world today are at a pace that is almost impossible to keep up with. Many believe that Donald Trump’s winning the U.S. Presidency will be the answer to all our problems. He is expected to fix what the radical liberals put on us over the last decade or so. The thing is, the Bible is what’s up to date with all the end-time prophecies given to us by our Savior, Daniel, Paul, John, Peter, James, and many others throughout the Bible, both Old and New Testaments. All the so-called leaders of today are just following Bible prophecy as God intended.

Israel has definitely been a news frontrunner because of the deadly attack by the terrorist group Hamas on October 7 & 8, 2023. It was also found that citizens of Gaza joined the terrorists committing evil atrocities against the Jewish people. You might think that the world would totally condemn all that took place against God’s chosen people.

Hamas had established bases in Gaza from which they attacked Israel with the largest ever terrorist attack since Israel was formed. Over 1,100 Jewish citizens were killed, and at least 3,300 injured. There were also 251 people taken to Gaza by the attackers. What the captives have endured is almost worse than what the Jewish people went through at the time of WWII. It is reported that there are 73 hostages still in captivity, and at least 35 of them are dead.

At the time of the attack, our government fell way short of supporting Israel. In fact, there were demonstrations around our country praising what the terrorists had done, and Jewish citizens here had to be cautious to keep from being assaulted.

When Harry S. Truman recognized Israel as a sovereign nation on May 14, 1948, the United States became a faithful ally of that country up until about a decade or so ago.

In Matthew 7:13-14, we read, “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow, and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” Anyone who believes our Holy Trinity – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – is not considered current with the events of today. God is not only aware, but He knows the exact second this world will end and eternity will begin for us.

The fact that there are false prophets and antichrists in our world was spoken of by Jesus, Paul, John, Peter, and others. In 2 Peter 3, he speaks of “scoffers” who will be here in the last days following their own sinful desires.

The hope that all true believers have is found in 2 Thessalonians 2, in the same chapter where Paul tells of the “man of lawlessness” who will be revealed, the “son of destruction.” This is the ultimate antichrist of the 7-year tribulation/wrath. Our promise from the Father is that he cannot appear until the One restraining him is taken out of the way (2 Thessalonians 2:3-7). The restrainer would be the Holy Spirit that indwells all true believers who will have to be removed with Him to keep God’s promise to keep us from that terrible 7-year period. We find evidence of this in 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10, and Revelation 3:10. Unlike so-called promises we get from politicians, Our Father cannot and will not lie.

Numbers 23:19; “God is not man that He should lie; or a son of man that He should change His mind.” Then 1 Samuel 15:29; “And also the Glory of Israel will not lie or have regret, for He is not a man that He should have regret.” Hebrews 6:18; “..so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the Hope set before us.” And then Titus 1:2, “…in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began.”

Going back to John 16:33, Christians worldwide are being persecuted to some degree for having Jesus as Our Savior. In some areas of this world, that persecution actually leads to martyrdom for receiving and accepting Jesus as Savior.

In 2017, the song “Love Has Overcome” was written by Colin Edge, David Binion, Israel Houghton, and Joshua Duframe. Please consider the message from this inspiring song.

1.) Now’s the time for all the world to know Your name; now’s the time for every heart to sing Your praise. No more silence in the church; no more standing to the side. By Your Spirit we’re empowered; let the darkness run and hide; yeah!

Ref.) Now Your church is rising up, and Your children are singing out. With Your praise our hearts erupt, and a song of love resounds. Be exalted, God of all, in the heavens and on the earth. By Your grace we are redeemed; love has overcome.

2.) Every day let us proclaim Your truth and love. In Your name we ask and pray, Your kingdom come. Wake us up so we can see; we’ve been sleeping long enough. Time to demonstrate Your power; we are called to overcome; yeah! (ref)

We do not know the day or hour that all believers will rise up to meet the Savior in the air because of the Rapture. What we can say is that through the reading of end-time prophecies in God’s Love Letter to us, we are about a breath away from going Home.

For any who are putting off calling on Jesus to be their Savior, please know that today would not be too early. Tomorrow could be too late, and when the Rapture takes place, it will be over in about the time you can blink your eye.

There are only two outcomes for our eternity: Heaven or hell. No matter what false prophets today are saying, that’s all there is. Our Heavenly Father leaves our eternal choice up to each of us and will force no one to accept His Son.

Make your free-will choice today to receive and accept Jesus as your eternal Shepherd. Please read Romans 10:9-13 for the ABCs of Salvation. Everyone has sinned (Romans 3:23), and we deserve punishment for what we have done (Romans 6:23). However, after receiving Jesus as our Savior, we have a free gift from God that cannot be earned or purchased (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The day could be today or any moment after that. We hope to see you in the presence of the Shepherd as part of His precious flock.

Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus!
