Colossians 4:2
King James Version
2 Continue in prayer,
and watch in the same
with thanksgiving;
Things are getting very volatile in the Middle East.
And then again, when was it not ever?
Shall we call it the "muddle" east?
Is there any hope for "clarity"?
Any hope for peace?
Of course, there is.
There is that powerful statement of JESUS which can change EVERYTHING.
This, as He lambasted the hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees who sat in "Moses' seat":
Matthew 23:38-39
King James Version
38 Behold,
your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you,
Ye shall not see me henceforth,
till ye shall say,
Blessed is he that cometh
in the name of the Lord.
The day the Jews acknowledge that JESUS is THE MESSIAH, is the day Israel will be redeemed.
As it is, she's still in a "mess".
Likewise, the whole world still asleep, and in darkness.
That's why we workmen are waiting, watching, warning, waking people up, and worshiping the LORD.
Where there's no GOD, there's chaos.
But there are also "slivers" of light showing up.
Wherever GOD wants it to.
But here's the key:
For Israel to acknowledge JESUS,
the Gentiles must FIRST acknowledge Him,
in a way that is SUFFICIENT to the LORD.
It's been prophesied:
Romans 11:25
King James Version
25 For I would not, brethren,
that ye should be ignorant of this mystery,
lest ye should be wise in your own conceits;
that blindness in part is happened to Israel,
until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Now you see how the salvation of both Jew and Gentile are intricately-linked together.
And you also see why Satan makes sure that doesn't happen.
CHRIST's enemy would rather the world be dissolved, than be saved.
But, of course, that's wishful thinking.
GOD's WORD stands.
Israel will have a remnant.
The Rapture can take place any moment.
With GOD's faithful -- the church -- gone, what do you think will happen next?
You would not want to be left behind, for sure.
Don't wait for the end times.
Turn to the LORD JESUS now.
Be born again, that SPIRIT may teach you what He taught me.
How to live by the Bible.
How to obey GOD's commands.
How to be holy.
How to be saved.
It's all in Scripture.
But you need SPIRIT to "decode" it.
By yourself, you can't.
You need His anointing.
And that can only come from being born again.
Of being a new person in CHRIST.
Ephesians 1:13
King James Version
13 In whom ye also trusted,
after that ye heard the word of truth,
the gospel of your salvation:
in whom also after that ye believed,
ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
