Hebrews 2:7-9; “You made Him for a little while lower than the angels; You have crowned Him with glory and honor, putting everything in subjection under His feet. Now, in putting everything in subjection to Him, He left nothing outside His control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to Him. But we see Him, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God, He might taste death for everyone” (ESV – all emphasis is mine).

Romans 14:11-12; “For it is written, as I live says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.”

Philippians 2:5-11; “Have this in mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God 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. Therefore, God has highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

First and foremost, we must have the faith to believe that the Bible is the Holy Spirit-inspired word of our Heavenly Father and that all the writers were inspired and guided by the Holy Spirit.

Looking at how the true word of the Father has reached us, let us first look at 2 Peter 1:21; “For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”

John 14:26; “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”

Next, 2 Timothy 3:16-17; “All scripture is breathed out by God, and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction and training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”

Paul states that there will come a time when people will not accept the Father’s true word. In 2 Timothy 4:3-4, “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.”

More people today are attached to this world and what it supposedly has to offer than those who are seeking Jesus as their Savior. Looking at 1 John 2:15-17, we’re told, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world – the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life – is not from the Father, but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but the will of God abides forever.”

Our Heavenly Father is not bound by time as we humans are. About 2,000 years ago, John, Paul, James, Peter, and others gave us prophecy about how the end of this age would be. Everything we were told to watch for is here except for the entry of the ultimate antichrist. Before he can come forth, all who have received and accepted Jesus as their Savior and have the Holy Spirit within them must be removed. 2 Thessalonians 2:7; “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.” The Restrainer is clearly the Holy Spirit, and if He is removed, all whom He indwells will have to be taken up as well.

Today, more than ever, the sacrifice given by our most precious Jesus becomes absolutely significant with each passing hour. Our Jesus went to the cross “willingly,” as stated in John 10:18. Had He decided that the human race was not worth His efforts, we all would have been lost forever.

For all who truly love and honor our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ, we thank Him every day and several times a day for loving us so much.

A song published around 1677 by an unknown author should be in our hearts and on our minds continuously. The title of this song is “Fairest Lord Jesus.”

1.) Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature; oh Thou of God, and man the Son. Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor, Thou my soul’s glory, joy and crown.

2.) Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands, robed in the blooming garb of spring; Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, who makes the woeful heart to sing.

3.) Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight, and all the twinkling starry host. Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer than all the angels Heaven can boast.

4.) Beautiful Savior! Lord of all nations! Son of God, and Son of man. Glory and honor, praise, adoration, now and forevermore be Thine.

In John 14:6, Jesus explains to the disciples, and especially Thomas, just who He really is; “Jesus said to him, I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.”

If you were the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and you sent a precious part of Yourself to this earth to be sacrificed on a cruel Roman cross so that all who would receive and accept that Son could have life forever in Heaven, would you have negative feelings toward anyone who would reject this?

Our Father, through the apostle Paul, gave us three simple steps for us to follow to be assured a Home with Him forever. Romans 10:9-13 gives the steps that are referred to as the “A-B-Cs” of Salvation.

A – admit we’re sinners because every one of us is. That is explained further in Romans 3:10 and Romans 3:23.

B – believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to this earth to be the perfect sin-free blood sacrifice on behalf of all who would receive and accept Him. We must believe He died as a human on that cross and was raised three days later to conquer sin and death for us all.

C – all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.

One statement, plain and to the point, is that all who refuse to accept our Lord and Savior before they take their last breath on this earth will have committed the unforgivable sin. They will face judgment at the Great White Throne to find out their eternal punishment. There is no chance of pardon or mercy here.

Our Father will force no one to call out to Jesus but will honor all who truly do. Every living, breathing soul on this earth has the opportunity to become a part of our Savior’s precious flock. This was given by our Lord and Savior Jesus in John 10:16; “And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. So there will be one flock, one Shepherd.” Some say that Jesus came only for the Jewish nation, but in this statement, Jesus includes all “Gentiles,” which is everyone other than the Jews. We all have the right to call on Him.

Please understand that there are some so-called religions today that say the Jews have been replaced by Christianity. The Jews are given the opportunity to receive and accept the Messiah just as every other living soul on this earth. The thing is, they don’t get a free pass but must receive and accept the Savior as stated in the “A-B-Cs” of Salvation.

Our Heavenly Father has made provisions for all true believers to avoid going through the coming 7-year tribulation, also known as the wrath of God. Looking at 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-17 and 1 Corinthians 15: 51-53, we are told how the Rapture will occur, who will be involved, and what happens to all who are taken up to meet Jesus in the air.

Our Heavenly Father does not lie (Titus 1:2), and any covenant He makes is solid. There are those who are mocking the word of the Lord, saying there is really no Jesus and all religions worship the same “god.” Their day of reckoning is approaching. So is our day that we will hear the Trumpet of God and a shout from an archangel signaling the Rapture is taking place. For anyone who thinks they can wait until this call, Paul says it will be in the “twinkling of an eye,” which is calculated at faster than one second.

Now would be the best time for all who have put off calling on Jesus to forgive them and be their Savior, to not delay any longer. We do not know the day or hour, but it is coming just as the Father said it would. Jesus is available right now to accept all who call on Him. Once the Rapture takes place, this earth will go through the worst 7-year period of time ever. We pray for all our loved ones, friends, acquaintances, and everyone else to call out now.

Our Fairest Lord Jesus did all the hard part for our Salvation. Call out to Him; call today.

(There is a special message at the end of this article for those who might happen to read this and do not have Jesus in their life and are looking for peace and a way to better understand the present-day insanity and confusion.)

Two things that I believe are fair to declare here in 2024:

1) People who reject God and His Word (whether they may be moral and conservative[?] or not) are susceptible to the lie of man-caused “climate change,” as they lack two things: Godly (not worldly) Wisdom and Discernment.

2) The current epidemic of weather anomalies that are occurring worldwide is an undeniable sign that God is lifting His hand of safety and protection on His creation, and they bear a similarity to the judgment inflicted on the sin-besotted world recorded in Genesis 6, 7, and 8.

God promised never to destroy all living creatures by flood:

“Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done” (Genesis 8:21). Emphasis added by me.

Many Biblically illiterate people today, if they are willing to be honest, know that the record of a worldwide flood exists in the Bible. Even though they may despise, dismiss, mock, and/or hate the Bible (and are therefore an enemy of God: James 4:4), there is still a vague understanding of that Biblical record, though it is often portrayed as a “story.” That is likely to be where their knowledge ends.

What they likely do not understand is God’s promise not to destroy the world again by flood, yet they see these worldwide inundations, and perhaps it brings about a disquieting level of discomfort.

Indeed, God did make that promise, but if they don’t believe in Him (and therefore don’t believe Him or His Word), they may easily be deceived into thinking that He might just do it again.

For the believer, it is not a stretch to understand that God may be using this circumstance as a method of waking unbelieving people to the idea that things are indeed undergoing dynamic and ominous changes.

It is true that there have always been occasional floods around the world (just as there have been occasional earthquakes) at random times, but I think it is fair to say that this current situation is extraordinary both in terms of flooding and earthquakes.

Like birth pangs, the Word of God says.

“All these are the beginning of birth pains” (Matthew 24:8).

For the believer who diligently reads God’s Word, it is certain that God will, indeed, not destroy the world by flood, but they know He will by fire. God always keeps His Word.

He may be using this worldwide flooding to separate those who have swallowed the lie of climate change (hereafter referred to as CC) from those who may be willing to seek after the Truth of God’s existence.

Catastrophic flooding of entire villages and cities seems to be everyday news reports today.

The dividing line is, is it CC, or is it the warning signs of the One and Only God?

Mainstream media reports often contain snarky little warnings about this or that flood (or virtually ANY other weather anomaly) being caused by global warming or global cooling, with the demonic threat of “CC” being the oh-so-obvious implication. They can’t resist it.

Most often, control of populations is brought about incrementally by instilling fear through various threats to life and limb, income, and the “normality” of everyday existence.

This must include turning people against each other by whatever means necessary.

Welcome to 2024, and look out 2025.

Here in 2024, it includes fear of lockdowns, renewing fears of more lethal pestilences, financial disaster, unemployment, and the renewed threat of nuclear war with weapons that eclipse the technology of the 1960s.

Then, the final ingredient that the globalists plan to use will be forceful imposition on what has become a helpless and fearful populace.

This is by no means a complete list of tactics and methodologies that are and will be employed, but it should suffice to make the point.

I believe this relatively sudden spike in catastrophic flooding is much too far from coincidental to be ignored. Frequent terminology in news headlines and the unlikely locations seem to bear a strong witness to my theorizing.

Phrases such as “a years-worth of rain in X hours,” “a months-worth of rain in 1 hour,” “of Biblical proportions,” and similar revelations of severe oddities are commonplace today.

It is noteworthy how often the term “of Biblical proportions” or similar references to God’s Word are used by people who deny its Truth so adamantly.

Also commonplace is the attempt to plant the seed of these occurrences being “proof” that the “climate change” monster is once again rearing its ugly head.

Locations in areas of the world where massive floods interrupt activities in large areas (such as Saudi Arabia) and other weather events are now forcing the world into a shocked acknowledgment of the reality of these life-changing current events.

God’s Word, the only source of Truth, warns of rampant deception just prior to End of the Age:

“But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:13).

Now to the crux of this article.

Is it possible that this deception comes about, in part, from the willingness of unbelieving peoples to accept any source of “truth” other than that which comes from God and from the willingness of “authoritative” human sources to exploit weak people who have no solid foundation upon which to base their thinking?

There is only one way that the unbelieving masses can be protected from this evil, and that is to repent of their rejection of God and receive His Son, Jesus Christ, as their Only Savior and Lord. They would then receive the gift of the Holy Spirit’s indwelling presence in their soul and spirit, the key to Godly Discernment and God’s promise of Life eternal.

“But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you” (John 14:26).

The Lord Jesus is standing at the door, but You must open it:

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20). Emphasis added by me.

That word anyone refers to you. I pray you will respond in time.

The special message I promised you:

For anyone who may read this article and has not trusted in Jesus Christ and therefore has no hope or peace in your life:

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).
