You Better Have Your House in Order

A reader sent me this YouTube video which chronicles all the recent events happening around the world that confirm the signs Jesus told us to watch for.  

The world is not going to get nicer and friendlier as the end of the age draws near....it is going to get more evil, more hateful and more chaotic.  An epic tragedy is on its way. That's a promise from God.

No one knows the day or the hour when Jesus may return for His Bride at the Rapture....but those who have been paying attention shouldn't be surprised when the trumpet blows.

Jerusalem is at the Center of Tensions

The Bible clearly says that in the Last Days, Jerusalem will be at the center of world events and attention.  All eyes will be upon her.  She will become a cup of trembling and all the nations that mess with her will ultimately injure themselves.

What the heck?  Why should the world give one care about some little city in the Middle East that isn't even on the ocean or a major trade route? It makes NO LOGICAL SENSE!  The ONLY explanation of WHY Jerusalem is in the world news almost every single day is because it is God's Holy City and Satan (The Prince of the Earth) wants it for himself....and he wants it bad.

Check out this article from Reuters News updating us on the Holy Mount in Jerusalem.

Special Report: Prayers inflame tensions over Jerusalem holy site

Every morning at 7.30, Murad Hamad sets up a flimsy plastic chair in the shade of the Moroccans' Gate entrance to Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem and waits for the tourists to arrive.

    Hamad's job is to help keep the peace at one of the world's holiest places, a site sacred to both Muslims, who call the compound the Noble Sanctuary, and to Jews, who refer to it as the Temple Mount because of the building that once stood there. The guard is not much concerned with the sun-creamed tourists. But he pays close attention to the groups of devout Jews and Israeli nationalists who try most days to enter the site and pray.

    Those groups are at the center of a creeping shift in Jerusalem: After 900 years, Jews are chipping away at Muslims' exclusive control of the site, the third holiest in Islam. The shift, which has provoked violence in the past, threatens to open a dangerous new front in the Israel-Palestinian conflict, adding religious enmity to a political struggle in the very heart of the disputed city.

 Al-Aqsa has banned non-Muslim prayer since 1187. Like Muslims across the region, Hamad and the other 70 or so guards employed by the Waqf, the Islamic trust that oversees the mosque, see Jews praying there as a serious insult.

    The risk of confrontation remained small as long as the groups pushing for the right to pray remained at the fringes of Judaism. A decade or so ago, a handful of Jewish faithful would enter the compound each day. Attempts at prayer were rare. The Chief Rabbinate of Israel declared in 2007 that Jews should not visit the site because it was too holy.

    But in recent years the radical fringe has become increasingly mainstream, drawing in nationalist, secular supporters and backing from high-profile politicians. A hundred or more Jews can arrive at the mosque some days, in large, organized groups. Last year Yossi Farenti, then Jerusalem District Police Chief, told the Israeli parliament's Internal Affairs committee that the number of Jews visiting the site had increased 27 percent in the first half of 2014. "There is indeed a worsening in the past few years as to what happens at Temple Mount," he said. "This is a fact. No one disagrees. You can see it in the numbers."

    A range of groups, some of them well financed by the Jewish diaspora, are campaigning for open access to Temple Mount, which Jews believe is the point from where God created the world and was the site of the second Jewish temple until 70 AD (see "Disputed land"). They want the right for Jews to pray alongside Muslims. Some even want to build a new temple and have crafted sacred gold-and-silver vessels and hand-stitched priestly vestments ready for the day it is sanctified. Other supporters are breeding red heifers, hoping for one without a white blemish that can be sacrificially slaughtered at the temple, as described in the Book of Numbers.

    Palestinian Muslims and others across the region fear their control is slipping.

    "They want to change the rules," said Hamad, the Waqf guard.

   "The Temple Mount is the holiest place in the world according to the Bible and there should be freedom to pray for all believers – Jews, Christians and Muslims."

    That is not how Mohammad Ahmed Hussein, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the head of the Waqf, sees it.

    As the inheritor of a job handed down almost without break since the 12th century, Hussein is the overriding religious authority at Al-Aqsa and holds the keys to the mosque. He believes the precedent created by more than 800 years of religious practice is incontrovertible.

    "No one but Muslims are allowed to perform any kind of prayers at Al-Aqsa," he told Reuters, referring to the compound rather than just the mosque itself.

    "Jewish prayer at Al-Aqsa is not so much an insult as it is an aggression. If Jews try to pray at Al-Aqsa, it will only create more tensions in the region."

If something totally lacks logic...you can almost be certain that a supernatural force is preventing people from seeing the logic.  HOW can Islam be called a religion of peace when they REFUSE to let Jews onto the 35 acres that used to house The Temple Jesus worshiped at?  That is the most racist, illogical thing I have ever heard..."NO JEWS ALLOWED!"....and yet The West continues to pass along the lie that Islam is "tolerant and beautiful" so we should allow them free pass to build new mosques (that exclude Jews and Christians) in any free country in the world?

Friends, remember that Jerusalem is mentioned in the Bible over 800 times.  It is NEVER mentioned by name in the Koran.  Also remember that the Koran was written 800 years AFTER Christ ascended to heaven and the Bible had been THE BOOK for over 700 years!  Christianity had blossomed all through the Middle East......AND THEN came Satan, whispering to Mohammad in that cave....telling him lies and tickling his ears.

And today it would seem that that the tension between God's Chosen people, The Jews...and Satan's chosen people, the Muslims, is about to blow up....and one of the flashpoints could be the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

ISIS Terrorist Dreams of Jesus

Islam is a Satanic mess of lies.  They openly deny that Jesus is the Son of God and part of the Trinity.

Allah IS NOT the God of the Bible.  And even if the Catholics, the U.S. Congress, the Lutherans and the Methodists all swear up and down that "we all worship the same god".....don't you dare believe it! Christ can have NO PART in any religion that denies that He is God.  That would make Jesus a liar.

How can we KNOW this?  One sure fire way is to read the Bible....and it will become very clear.

Another way is to read the Koran....and it will become very clear how screwed up that book actually is.  Remember, Muhammad was an illiterate pedophile so no one is quite sure how all the Satanic Whispers got written down and formulated into the Koran.

Another way is to listen to Ex-Muslims whom Jesus called out of Islam.  Once Christ finds a Muslim and the Muslim accepts Him....he can't go on worshiping the false god of Allah.

A representative of a missionary organization recently told a Christian radio program that a former Islamic State militant who admittedly enjoyed murdering Christians has turned over a new leaf after claiming that a mysterious man dressed in white began appearing to him in a dream, telling him to stop his murderous rampage.

The story, which is reminiscent of the biblical story of Saul of Tarsus — a persecutor of Christians who later converted to the faith and is one of the most important figures in the Bible — was told by Gina Fadely, director of Youth With a Mission Frontier Missions Inc., during a recent appearance on the Voice of the Martyrs Radio Network, according to the Christian Post.

Fadely recounted how a missionary who works with her organization was introduced to an Islamic State fighter earlier this year who had admitted to killing many Christians before something happened that profoundly changed his perspective.

“The fighter admitted that he had killed Christians and that he had actually enjoyed doing so,” she said. “He told this [missionary] leader that he had began having dreams of this man in white who came to him and said, ‘You are killing my people’ and he started to feel really sick and uneasy about what he was doing.”

Still, he continued as a member of the Islamic State. One day, as he was preparing to kill a Christian, the victim told the Islamic State fighter, ”I know you will kill me, but I give to you my Bible.” The fighter did end up killing the man, though he took the Bible and began reading it.

Fadely said that the Islamic State fighter then had another dream about the man in white — presumably Jesus — who asked the terrorist to “follow him.”

“[The former militant] was now asking to become a follower of Christ and be discipled,” she said. “Perhaps this Christian will be like Saul.”

Sometime in 2008 I remember reading how thousands of Muslims were coming to accept Christ and estimates guessed that 80% of those were coming because of dreams and visions where Jesus was appearing to them!!

And Jesus is still hard at work now!!  Calling all those who are His to Himself in these Last Days!

The prophet Joel had some interesting prophecy about dreams and visions.  Is this more clear evidence that we are VERY NEAR the Day of the Lord which will commence with the Rapture?

The Day of the Lord

28 “And afterward,
    I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
    your old men will dream dreams,
    your young men will see visions.
29 Even on my servants, both men and women,
    I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
30 I will show wonders in the heavens
    and on the earth,
    blood and fire and billows of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood
    before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

Transexual, Transgendered and now Transabled

"I feel like I have a woman's soul but I'm trapped in a man's body!"

"I feel like I was born with a penis but always felt like I should have been born with a vagina."

"I feel like I have a wolf spirit but am trapped in this human body."

"I feel like I'm a disabled person trapped in a healthy body."

What????  So now we have to listen to all the 'misunderstood' folks who want to cut their arms off because they were BORN with a desire to be disabled?

OK people....we are all born as sick and twisted individuals.  We can't trust our feelings for ANYTHING because our hearts and minds are wicked to the core and exceedingly evil.  Throw in the Prince of the Earth (Satan) into this caustic mix and we have a recipe for some seriously screwed up people.  Witness the circus and 'courage" of Bruce Jenner who now wants to be called Caitlyn and live out the remainder of his days as Caitlyn.

OTTAWA — When he cut off his right arm with a “very sharp power tool,” a man who now calls himself One Hand Jason let everyone believe it was an accident.

But he had for months tried different means of cutting and crushing the limb that never quite felt like his own, training himself on first aid so he wouldn’t bleed to death, even practicing on animal parts sourced from a butcher.

“My goal was to get the job done with no hope of reconstruction or re-attachment, and I wanted some method that I could actually bring myself to do,” he told the body modification website ModBlog.

His goal was to become disabled.

People like Jason have been classified as ‘‘transabled’’ — feeling like imposters in their bodies, their arms and legs in full working order.

“We define transability as the desire or the need for a person identified as able-bodied by other people to transform his or her body to obtain a physical impairment,” says Alexandre Baril, a Quebec born academic who will present on “transability” at this week’s Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities at the University of Ottawa.

“The person could want to become deaf, blind, amputee, paraplegic. It’s a really, really strong desire.”

Researchers in Canada are trying to better understand how transabled people think and feel. Clive Baldwin, a Canada Research Chair in Narrative Studies who teaches social work at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, N.B., has interviewed 37 people worldwide who identify as transabled.

Most of them are men. About half are in Germany and Switzerland, but he knows of a few in Canada. Most crave an amputation or paralysis, though he has interviewed one person who wants his penis removed. Another wants to be blind.

Many people, like One Hand Jason, arrange “accidents” to help achieve the goal. One dropped an incredibly heavy concrete block on his legs — an attempt to injure himself so bad an amputation would be necessary. But doctors saved the leg. He limps, but it’s not the disability he wanted.

The transabled are very secretive and often keep their desires to themselves, Baldwin says. One 78-year-old man told Baldwin he’d lived with the secret for 60 years and never told his wife.

Here;  http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/becoming-disabled-by-choice-not-chance-transabled-people-feel-like-impostors-in-their-fully-working-bodies

Can you see where this is going?  We are told that transabled people are 'very secretive and often have to keep their desires to themselves'.....EXACTLY like all the gays, lesbians and transgendered folks did....until we encourage them all to come out of the closet and forced everyone to tolerate, accept and celebrate whatever twisted desire/fetish that any of them were born with.

One day soon I'm guessing the Democrats/progressives will legislate that all TRANSABLED persons who DO DECIDE to cut off their arms, legs or gouge out their eyes get FULL DISABILITY PAYMENTS for the rest of their lives from their employers, their State, and/or Social Security.

Where does the insanity end?  When will realize that Satan and his demons occupy the space between every human's ears until they allow Christ to renew their minds?

Sadly, the insanity isn't going to end....it's only going to get worse.  I believe we are about to witness what happens to a society that totally rejects God and so is "given over" to the delusions of their minds and the desires of their bodies that they ultimately implode.

I pray that the Rapture comes first so we don't have to witness too much more....but certainly, the Lord may tarry and allow us to see for ourselves what happens when people openly worship Mammon and deny Christ as Creator-God.

"....their thinking became futile...."  Romans 1

Do Chimps Have Legal Rights?

As the liberal-progressives take control of ever larger parts of this nation and control more and more of the dialogue....we can expect to see more and more of headlines like these;

Is it time that chimps are given legal rights? What about elephants, dolphins and whales?

You see, in a post-Christian society, most of its citizens now believe that mankind evolved from chimps, and chimps evolved from squirrels, and squirrels evolved from frogs, etc.... all the way back to when some sort of "event" (like lightning striking a pond filled with powdered proteins) "created" life!!

Of course all people DESPERATELY want to believe that we evolved from random chance because that removes any CREATOR from their understanding.....and if there is no Creator then there is no responsibility....and if there is no responsibility then you can fornicate with anyone or anything, consume and indulge in gluttonous orgies, get drunk on drugs and alcohol and trade in your old wife for a younger version when you get tired of the old one.

This morning New York’s Supreme Court will hear arguments over whether chimpanzees deserve to be given legal rights - specifically two chimps named Hercules and Leo being held in captivity by Stony Brook University in New York State for use in an anatomical research programme.
For the sake of posterity, the case is “Nonhuman Rights Project v. Stanley, New York State Supreme Court, New York County, No. 152736-2015”.

That’s a joke, right?

No. The Nonhuman Rights Project, a group founded by Steven Wise, an attorney and animal rights activist, is deadly serious. And the question of whether the most intelligent non-human animals should have a legal status beyond mere objects has generated significant legal debate in recent years.

But how can a chimp have rights if it can’t even speak?

Nor can some mentally ill people, or unborn children for that matter. But they still have legal rights.
Tommy the circus chimp is a 'person' entitled to his liberty, US court told Chimpanzees given same rights as unlawfully detained prisoners by US court

So which “right” do they want chimps to be granted?

Specifically, the right to liberty – or “bodily freedom” – ie not to be stuck in a cage, or a science lab.

So if the court decides in their favour do the chimps simply walk off into Manhattan?

No. But they do get to go to a sanctuary in Florida to live out their days in as much freedom as is practically possible.

This all sounds pretty radical. Where would it end?

That’s the argument of Christopher Coulston, the New York Assistant Attorney General who is defending the university in this case.

He has warned the court against a decision that would set a precedent “for the release of other animals ... housed at a zoo, in an educational institution, on a farm, or owned as a domesticated pet”, and leave New York mired in litigation forever more.

So they want to free the cows, pigs and chickens too?

No. The Nonhuman Rights Project says only animals who demonstrate “clear scientific evidence of complex cognitive abilities [such] as self-awareness and autonomy” should be granted rights. So pigs and ducks are out of luck.

Dolphins, whales and elephants – who like chimps have been shown to communicate, remember, mourn their dead and play tricks on each other - would qualify.

Below is a fictitious letter that I may soon receive in the future:

"Hi Dennis, I read your blog regularly and I disagree with just about everything that you say.  I am a 54 year old woman who has been married three times to three different men.  All of my husbands wanted to control me.  It seemed every relationship I was in I was constantly looking to please my husband and keep him happy.  None of them EVER seemed to give a crap about me.  About 10 years ago I fostered a baby chimp named BoBo.  I loved him like he was a child.  As BoBo matured he started to share my bed.  He made me feel so comfortable, so cherished and so needed.  I soon realized that I had fallen in love with BoBo.  I told my 3rd husband to take a hike and BoBo and I have been living happily ever after.  Yes, we do sexual relations and yes, BoBo is a very unselfish lover.  Don't you dare judge me!!  I am watching this case in New York very carefully because one day I hope I can "come out" and be open with my family, friends and co-workers about my relationship with BoBo.  Now I am living a secret life as I fear for my job and my reputation if people found out I was sleeping with a "mostly evolved human".  Why are people so cruel?  I hope one day that BoBo can be my 4th husband and that society will evolve enough to realize that BoBo is more of a man than my previous 3 husbands will EVER be!!  I'm much older than BoBo and I hope that my Social Security will continue to him if I should die before him.  I also would like him to get my group health insurance.  Right now, I'm on pins and needles just hoping BoBo doesn't have a heart attack or get cancer and we have no coverage for those catastrophic illnesses.  Plus even though I tell him to be careful sometimes when I come home from work he is sitting 60 feet up in top of our oak tree....and if he ever lost his grip...the medical bills could be calamitous.  Dennis, please open your mind!  Chimps are people!!...no different than any younger person!  I feel so loved and yet so shunned by society. You keep talking about how God loves everyone...well then he must love chimps too!"

Hmmmmm........

Friends, anyone who knows me knows that I love the many animals that we have on our farm....but they are NOT EQUAL to humans.  They do NOT sin like humans.  Christ did NOT shed his blood for their redemption. They will NOT be part of the Bride of Christ.

Treat your animals well, when it's their time, kill them humanely....but don't EVER believe that God values them equally to humans.  It is ONLY us, the descendants of Adam, who were made in the image of God....and it's probably only a matter of time until our Godless society elevates chimps, dolphins, whales and elephants to human status.  After all.....they were born that way!!

Why is America Still Here?

America isn't mentioned anywhere in the Last Days prophecies of the Bible.  Where did she go?

Lots of folks have lots of different ideas....and this isn't really the topic I wanted to get into for this blog post....but what I have really started to wonder is, "WHY is America still here?"

We all know that she aborts millions of babies, produces perversion in videos and media like no other and is now leading the charge on redefining marriage and foisting our "tolerance" on other nations who are our trading partners.

So why has God allowed this decadent, selfish, God-rejecting society to flourish up to our present day?

Maybe because we continue to aid in the incubation and protection of God's nation, Israel?

(Please notice this article is from the Motley Fool which is a secular, investment advice column)

What if they held a war and everybody (in the Middle East) came? Lately, that seems to be what we're seeing happen in the Middle East.

They've got Houthis running amok in Yemen, with Saudi fighter jets screaming overhead, and Iranian warships trying desperately to get into the mix. Freedom fighters battling Bashar in Syria, and fighting ISIS, besides. More ISIS in Iraq. And even more ISIS in Libya. Al-Qaeda, meanwhile, is... everywhere.

And into this mess steps Israel.

Dangerous times call for dangerous bombs
Two weeks ago, in a startling development, most remarkable for the matter-of-fact way in which it was reported, the Israeli government asked the U.S. Congress to approve the sale to it of $1.9 billion worth of bombs, missiles, and "smart bomb" kits for guiding all of the above to their intended targets. Word of the request was delivered to Congress through the intermediary of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency as a notification -- and almost immediately approved.

In total, the Israeli shopping list includes more than 32,000 pieces of military equipment, including:

14,500 KMU-556C/B Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) tail kits, built by Boeing (NYSE: BA  ) and used to convert ordinary Mk-82, -83, and -84 "dumb" bombs into "smart bombs" guided by GPS

4,500 actual 1,000-lb Mk-83 bombs

3,500 500-lb Mk-82s
(But apparently no 2,000-lb Mk-84s -- which Israel is able to produce domestically)

4,100 GBU-39 Small Diameter, precision GPS-guided glide-bombs (also from Boeing)

50 BLU-113 5,000-lb "bunker buster" bombs from General Dynamics (NYSE: GD  ) , each capable of penetrating through 20 feet of reinforced concrete

1,500 Paveway laser-guidance kits from Raytheon (NYSE: RTN  ) , which can be attached to the Mk-83 bomb

700 similar Paveway kits for attachment to BLU-109 bunker busters (but no actual BLU-109s)

3,000 AGM-114K/R Hellfire Missiles from Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT  )

250 AIM-120C Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles from Raytheon

500 of Boeing's DSU-38A/B Detector Laser Illuminated Target kits for guiding JDAM-modified smart bombs to their targets

It sure is. Everyone who is anyone in military arms sales seems to have found a customer in Israel here. So the suppliers aren't in doubt, but what about the "end users?" Who's going to wind up on the receiving end of all this ordnance?

Reporting on the arms deal last week, DefenseNews.com and Defense-Update.com referred to it as simply a "resupply" or "replenish[ment]" of Israeli arsenals that were exhausted during last summer's war against Hamas. If you believe this theory, then maybe no one needs to worry about Israel's swelling arsenal. As DefenseNews explained, "[D]uring last summer's Gaza war ... the Israel Air Force dropped an estimated 100 tons of munitions during the 50-day campaign," implying this purchase is nothing more than a stock-up.

And indeed, this is one reason that, when investing in the defense industry, I prefer to own shares of companies that make "bullets" rather than companies that make the airplanes, ships, and tanks that shoot the bullets. From an investor's perspective, the great virtue of a bullet (or bomb, missile, or rocket) is that once you shoot it, you need to buy another bullet. That's not the case with a warplane like Lockheed Martin's F-35, for example, because in theory at least, once you buy an F-35, you're pretty much set -- and won't need to buy another one for 60 years.

Simply put, if you're a fan of recurring revenues, it's really hard to beat a bullet-maker as an attractive investment.

Here;  http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/05/31/us-sells-israel-32100-high-tech-bombs-missiles.aspx

That is a whole bunch of bombs!!  And yes, good question....who is going to be on the receiving end of all of those Israeli bombs?

Hmmm.....let's think....why would Israel want 50 Bunker Busters capable of penetrating through 20 feet of concrete....hmmmm??.....maybe for an attack on Iran which will NEVER sign a Nuclear Agreement with Team Obama that will EVER be worth the paper it will NEVER be written on?

Also notice the first paragraph of this secular article:
What if they held a war and everybody (in the Middle East) came? Lately, that seems to be what we're seeing happen in the Middle East.

One day, possibly soon, there will be a MASSIVE WAR and the entire world will be invited.

Revelation 16
16 Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon. 

What is all going on in the Middle East today is simply a warm up for the grand finale' which Jesus will cut short by His return.  He tells us out of His own mouth that if he didn't return to cut those Last Days short that NO FLESH on earth would survive....that's how bad it will get.

Mass Deaths of Rare Antelope

One thing we are watching for is pestilence...because Jesus said it would increase as the nearness of His return draws close.  Disease in humans, mass fish die-offs, animal extinctions...all are additional signs that the earth is groaning in birth pangs....as pestilence increases.

ASTANA, Kazakhstan: The sudden deaths of tens of thousands of endangered antelopes in ex-Soviet Kazakhstan over the past two weeks have left scientists scrambling for answers and conservationists worried about the animal's future. 

Over 120,000 rare saiga antelopes — more than a third of the total global population — have been wiped out in a devastating blow that the United Nations Environment Programme has called "catastrophic". 

UN experts have said the mass deaths are down to "a combination of biological and environmental factors." 

Scientists have struggled to put their finger on the exact nature of the disease that has felled entire herds, but say findings point towards an infectious disease caused by various bacteria. 

Any infections have likely been exacerbated by recent rains that have made the antelopes — 90 per cent of which live on the steppes of central Asian Kazakhstan — less able to cope with diseases. 

"Unseasonal wetness may have been something that lowered their immunity to infection but until we do more analysis we will not know anything for sure," Steffen Zuther of the Altyn Dala Conservation Initiative told AFP. 

The rate of the deaths has staggered those who have studied the species — whose ancestors have inhabited the region since the ice age. 

"A one hundred per cent mortality for the herds affected is extraordinary," said Richard Kock, a professor at the Royal Veterinary College in London who recently returned from Kazakhstan. 

"We are dealing with creatures that have fairly low resilience." 

The sudden spate of deaths comes as a nasty shock as up until recently the saiga antelopes — which live for between six and 10 years and are known for their protruding noses — had been hailed as something of a conservation success.

If you turn on your TV's and open your newspaper you will find that lots of strange, "never before seen", "Most EVER!" headlines are splattered all over them almost every day...kind of like contractions on a pregnant lady giving birth.

Romans 8:22 

We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

One day, maybe soon, Jesus will return in the clouds and a loud trumpet call will sound calling all Christ followers into the sky to join Jesus there in our newly-given glorified bodies.  This 'taking away with force' will give way to the Antichrist coming to power who will quickly seize upon the chaos and opportunity provided by God's snatching away the Bride of Christ.  He will sign a peace agreement with Israel and will give them the authority to build a Temple and begin sacrificing animals for the atonement of sin.  The peace agreement will be for 7 years but half way into it, the Antichrist will turn on the Jews and attempt to kill them all.  Jesus will return to rescue the remnant of Jews who call out for Him as savior.  He will also put an end to Armageddon which would have destroyed all flesh on earth had Jesus not intervened and cut those days short.  Jesus will then set up his 1000 year Kingdom here on earth and we will return with Him in our glorified-eternal bodies to rule and reign with him over the humans who accepted Christ and survived the previous 7 years.

Awesome!!  Are we all ready and eager for Christ to call us into the clouds?  Are we all ready and eager to give an accounting of our lives to our Creator of WHAT we did for the Master's kingdom AFTER he saved us by plucking us off the wide road headed to eternal damnation in hell?

If we aren't then let's get busy doing things that will please The Master.
