How To Prevail in This Time of Darkness Upon Us

The mighty power of God is now being unleashed upon the earth. It’s as though some great Spiritual dam has burst through the cosmos, and the earth is being flooded with God’s Spirit with an awesome power the world has not witnessed since the very crucifixion and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

If you are a believer, this great phenomenon has doubtless tugged at your soul lately. Take it in – it’s for real, but I fear that only God’s chosen and elect are able to discern what’s going on. Things are happening now that will affect our future, the enemy is no doubt aware of the power that is growing against him, and he will no doubt double down on the evil he has nurtured precisely to engage with God’s elect in this great spiritual battle for the ages. Expect him to throw everything he has in his arsenal – those who have not committed their lives to Jesus Christ will be the ones destined ultimately to fall. Those who are spiritually sealed to be God’s anointed will face tribulation but will ultimately prevail and do so in the magnificent protection that only the Son of God can impart to us.

We who have practiced our faith in submission to God’s will are not yet perfect – we have made and will continue to make – mistakes up until we put on that incorruptible existence, but do not doubt that we will reach it. We must not allow those errors and/or imperfections to deprive us of our confidence. Satan will use these missteps to attempt to rob us of our motivation, our confidence. Take heart, God knows we are not yet perfect and will forgive our mistakes. Our mission is to keep our eyes on the things above.

The enemy is putting on a fearsome spectacle that is designed to strike fear into the hearts of everyone, but will only do so in the hearts of those who do not know Christ, and from the news of the day, we learn more and more of the burdens he will impose, but do not allow these threats to create anxiety in your hearts – that is his whole purpose, to create doubt, create fear, but it can only work in hearts that are not sealed into the Kingdom. For those of us who belong to Jesus Christ, our Great and Mighty Shepherd, we need not concern ourselves with the wiles of Satan, [Psalm 23:4]: “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”

Open your eyes to the marvelous works of the Lord that are happening. The great megachurches filled with those who shun the responsibilities God gave us such as helping the orphans and widows, the huge ornate buildings where wealth is encouraged and admired, the congregations we all know as bastions of hypocrisy, are becoming deserted. This is not a blow to Christianity, for those who gather in such places were never a benefit to the Christian faith nor were they a threat to Satan. Nevertheless, according to prophecy, this was destined to happen. When the “man of sin” is to be revealed, he will be exposed as all who reject the teachings of Jesus Christ, such as that the rich will have no place in God’s Kingdom. In today’s “churches”, people are constantly taught what is called the “prosperity gospel” (with a lowercase g) that when they put money into the offering, it will be returned to them and with increase, when all it effectively does is to enrich the false prophet pastors. Now the “faithful” are walking away from these ministries in droves. Hopefully some will move on to seek the true Kingdom of God.

Messages from the truly faithful pastors are becoming more poignant and powerful as we approach the end of the age. This builds courage in the true faithful of Christ, courage that can be sensed in the heart. Sermons are delivered that can intuitively be discerned by the believer to be from the Holy Spirit and the discerning hearts that hear them can see and are starting to rejoice that our Savior is near. We have a new hope growing today in our collective Spirit – a hope that unbelievers cannot fathom in this growing darkness of threats by the enemy. An inexplicable and pure hope the enemy can never dislodge, and he becomes ever more furious as his end approaches, walking about like a roaring lion, but to no avail. We shall not be encumbered with fear and dread of what our future holds because our King has promised to meet us at the end of this rutted and utterly worn-out road we call life. Such a passage was never intended to be our permanent abode, nor shall we consider it to be, nor will we long for it anymore when the time comes for it to be over.

Jesus told His followers some things so beautiful, so appealing they cannot but put our hearts to rest from any and all anxiety. [ Matthew 11:28]: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” and [John 14:2,3]: “ In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” Hang on for just a little while longer folks and try as you can to bring others with you.

If you have not yet come to know who Jesus Christ is, I highly recommend that you search Him out while He can still be found. The enemy has plans for some awful events for all humanity, and those who do not know Jesus have no hope at all in the upcoming tempest. We shall all suffer tribulations, but in Jesus we can know we shall endure and emerge victorious over the evil one. Get right with the Lord for the sake your eternal future. The time is short.

Meanwhile, may the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us until the end.

The Fiery Voice of the Mountains Calls to Us

300+ Free Volcanoes & Nature Photos - Pixabay

Folks there’s something afoot. Or if you’re willing to suffer a bad pun – underfoot. I’ve been watching some geology news sites, but you don’t have to get every expert’s opinion to get a rudimentary understanding of the incredible contortions the earth is undergoing right now. Since January there have been something like 65 volcanic eruptions from 58 different volcanoes – imagine that! Just in one year, and some of them have been extraordinarily violent. A couple of weeks ago that one in Ethiopia, Hayli Gubbi, erupted; a volcano that had been previously classified as extinct! In scientific geological classifications that means for all intents and purposes – dead. That thing cut loose with a tremendous eruption for the first time in recorded human history after sleeping some 12,000 years – totally unexpectedly.

I’ve mentioned in other posts about the super volcano Campi Flegri showing signs of stirring to life. That one is supposedly capable of serious earth-threatening eruptions and there are about three million people in and around the danger zone. That’s only the people in the immediate area of threat, but if it launches a super eruption, who knows what kind of threat it poses to all of the planet? Campi Flegri sits within a few kilometers of Mount Vesuvius, the big one that wiped out Pompeii and Herculaneum back in 79 A.D. Scientists are now speculating – with good evidence – that both Vesuvius and Campi Flegri are connected in their underground magma plumbing, and there’s evidence that Flegri and Vesuvius have erupted simultaneously in the past, and they think both share a capacious magma chamber so if either of them goes off, there might be a twofer. That would undoubtedly take out the whole area, including the approximately three million people living in and around Naples!

Volcanoes are classified according to their potential for explosive eruptions, presumably based on prior eruptive activity. The scale used is expressed in the volume of material they eject, and they use many inputs to arrive at this. It’s called the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI)and there are charts to show just how potent their past eruptions have been. The eruption power is calculated using the presumed volume of ejecta and that comes from studying the land strata around the volcano, sometimes the material, or tephra, is even found in other countries even around the world if the eruption was powerful enough. The tuft from given volcanoes has some kind of signature elemental composition so it can be identified as to where it came from.

Volcanoes - frequency and distribution

Using the above chart, you can see that Mt. Saint Helen’s 1980 eruption was classified as a VEI 5, so even though it was colossal to see on video, it’s sort of minor compared to a super volcano like Yellowstone – or Campi Flegri. Campi Flegri is really the one that scientists are concerned about as of now due to the activity – earthquakes, steam vents, and gas content being released from the (growing) number of fumaroles indicate that an eruption may be in the offing sometime soon. The lives of potentially millions of people could be at risk if it goes off in a super eruption. There is the possibility that it might erupt in some less explosive event, say a minor eruption, or even a VEI 1 (notice on the chart VEI 1 is described as “gentle”???), but any eruption at all would threaten hundreds of thousands of people, especially if there was no “warning”.

As far as a warning goes, I can’t think of anything else the Flegrean Fields could possible do, short of announcing it’s intention over a loudspeaker of the precise moment of eruption. Everything a restless volcano can do to indicate an impending eruptive event has been done. Precursory activity including melting roads, buildings so hot they burn your hand, constant earthquake tremors cracking walls and ceilings – all have been going on for a while now. Authorities have understandably been reluctant to sound the evacuation alarm – especially when they have done so in past years when the ground uplift became extreme but nothing happened. Residents left and went to other places only to see that after a while the subsidence reversed and nothing happened. This is the danger of the “boy who cried wolf” attitude of the folks who live there and most of them are willing to gamble that it will once again be a false alarm. But what if it ain’t?

If there is a super eruption at Campi Flegri that kills hundreds of thousands of people, the history books (assuming that the cataclysm doesn’t wipe out humanity – ash clouds creating volcanic winter, etc.) will no doubt be replete with accusations that no one gave the people any warning, or that folks just didn’t understand the magnitude of the threat. Considering the status of events in and around Pozzuoli and the Bay of Naples with the extreme and rapid rate of land rise – there’s actually some areas of boiling water in the bay – and repeated earthquakes, folks, especially folks with kids, need to consider the possibility of existence in some other place. Vesuvius has already taught lessons in Pompeii and Herculaneum of what it can do, but if Flegrei bangs out a super eruption, it’s going to make Vesuvius’ 79 AD event look “gentle”.

There are other considerations regarding all of the volcanoes erupting in the world recently. Maybe the Almighty God has finally decided to deal with a human race that has completely turned away from Him. We are told in the Bible that this age of mankind will end in fire. [2Peter 3:7]:“But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and [b]perdition of ungodly men.” and again in verse 10: But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. and verse 12: looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

Peter obviously had been foretold of the coming end of humanity and the very world we live on for he quite plainly said that the world would end in fire. With the simultaneous eruptive activity of all the volcanoes, that might just be the plan. It’s still hard to imagine the heavens being dissolved, but he’s talking about the physical heaven, the sky, rather than the Spiritual Heaven which will never be ended.

When you get time, research the Siberian Traps, a time in geologic history during the Permian/Triassic boundary when the whole world was almost emptied of all life due to monstrous volcano activity in Siberia. The event lasted for two million years! Volcanoes can end the world in a cataclysmic holocaust, and it may just be getting started. This might indeed be the way God chooses to disrupt evil and put an end to a world which has chosen to try to exist without Him.

This old hillbilly has made his choice. [Joshua 24:15]: “And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

No matter how ominous the threat(s) we face in this life – wars, earthquakes, floods, or even these horrible volcanoes – such dire events need be of little consequence to those of us who follow Jesus Christ, for He alone is able to preserve us. We might come to a nasty end on this side, but when we walk through that glorious door, He will be standing there smiling to welcome us to our real home, the one He prepared for us before human time began. He will tell His own [Matthew 25:34: “Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: ” And for those of us who believe, we have nothing at all to fear, He already conquered death, so even though in this upside down life we’re conditioned to believe we should fear it, it is not a threat to us.

There are a lot of terrible things happening in the world around us – the prophets told us it would be this way; Jesus and the apostles said these days would come upon us. Do not be alarmed nor afraid. When Jesus Christ has your back, you’re going to be ok, just keep the faith; spread the Word – He is coming back (I believe very soon), so be ready. Bring as many with you as will come, right now that’s our main focus: [Matthew 9:37,38]: “Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” He’s sending us right now. We gotta be those laborers! Forget worldly pursuits and everything else – time is short! The mountains are starting to bubble up. Let’s find as many of His sheep as we can round up. Share this post anywhere you think it might do some good.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

Perils of Serving the Wrong Master – Here and Beyond

Jerusalem burns, flames fanned by high winds. Southern Israel experiences a huge sandstorm blown in from one of the many Mediterranean area deserts. Although the (mostly European descended) people who have moved into the Holy Land are not indigenous to the area, they have arrogated to themselves the identity of those who do have legitimate claim. They seem to be hell-bent on destroying the last of the true semitic peoples, the Palestinians, in Israel.

The once upstanding United States has become the number one supporter in the genocide being perpetrated on the Gazans, and by doing so, has become possibly the most hated nation on earth. Trump has ordered US military forces to attack the Houthis, the only country in the world that can be seen as heroic in their efforts to help the intensely suffering Gazans, although the Hezbollah group in Lebanon put up a valiant effort for a while, before a multinational coalition put an end to Syria as the world knew it. Lebanon got a president installed who looks to be pro-western, i.e., easily bought – so Hezbollah is in a precarious situation for now. The Houthis continue unabated despite heavy bombardment from what appears to be a hopelessly incompetent Trump led military. For Netanyahu – anagram of Yemen – enemy!

All in all, it looks like a pretty dismal situation for people who prefer peace and especially for folks who hate to see the starving children of Gaza. A flotilla of intended aid for the Gazans was attacked by Israeli drones en route similar to how Israel blocked the Turkish aid boat Mavi Marmara in 2010, but that time they actually boarded a boat and killed some people. Erdogan bloviated as usual, but did not respond effectively, also as usual.

The world sees the evil of the Gaza genocide for what it is, but when decent folks call it out, the perps don’t seem to mind, in fact if I didn’t know better, I’d swear they enjoy the publicity – they LIKE being regarded as evil. When someone likens Benjamin Netanyahu to Satan, he takes it as a compliment, like his boss (Satan) will be proud of him for being seen as Satanic. Jesus said these people who call themselves Jews but art not, are a synagogue of Satan and they seem to know it. There’s a video I happened to see a few days ago about an incident some time ago after the Zionists burned a little 18-month-old boy alive and word got out about it and the civilized world were shocked by it’s repugnance, wherein the Zionists, to demonstrate their arrogance, threw a big party and were dancing joyfully with sign posters of pictures of the little boy and celebrating that evil act – and videoing it! That was something you might expect to see in some burning corner of hell with demons dancing and shouting to celebrate an unimaginably horrid evil event. And there it was for all the world to see – the kind of evil these people perpetrate on the world, and we send them bombs.

There are also places in the pits of hell reserved for Joe Biden and Donald trump which they have earned themselves by supplying support for genocide, but there are so many others – John Hagee, Mike Huckabee (at one time I thought he was a respectable Christian person – boy was I wrong!), almost the entire US Congress and Senate, the vile Supreme Court – especially the vile Roberts who was appointed by the equally vile George Bush. Bush supported Israel by launching the murderous Iraq war. Anyone who even remotely supports Israel in its headlong rush to hell killing so many innocent people will find themselves on the wrong side of things when they face judgement. The witch Madeline Albright may already be roasting, but there are other witches equally culpable – Nikky Haley, Victoria Nuland and Hillary Clinton come to mind.

At some point I would not be surprised if this crowd will finally just openly declare their support for Satan and I also won’t be surprised to see congregations of megachurches following along. They already do in reality, but there might still be a few well-meaning but deceived members who actually believe they are following the Christian Way who will finally see guys like Hagee, Osteen, and Copeland and so many more for who they really are, but for the life of me I don’t understand how these folks are allowing themselves to be so thoroughly deceived already. Maybe they should read their own Bibles instead of letting frauds like Hagee tell them what it says.

I follow some video channels where they speak of earthquakes and volcanoes on the increase. Some predict a huge solar event that will wreak havoc on life here on earth. We are continuing to stare down the barrel of a nuclear conflagration with no one (except maybe Vladimir Putin) trying to avoid it. Weather events of late have grown intense almost everywhere – rainstorms unlike anything the world has ever seen, tornadoes everywhere, even in places that don’t normally see them, floods all over the world are commonplace, a huge power outage in Europe completely shutting down whole countries, and we don’t seem to be able (or willing) to connect the dots to God’s displeasure at the growing evil in the world. These events are merely the beginning of sorrows – things will get much worse.

There’s a Way to deal with the impending disaster the world is facing. It’s found in the Bible and His name is Jesus Christ. He told us the road would get bumpy at the end and the evil of the world is the specific cause. The angels are already pouring out those bowls of disaster for humanity. We endured the Covid (and inoculation) scam, but that was just a sample of the plagues that loom. Our precious leaders have other depredations cooking in their biolabs and are just waiting for the orders to unleash them and I think they’re going to be much worse, much, much worse, than Covid.

All in all and according to prophecy, we haven’t seen anything yet. If I read Revelation 18 correctly, some country is about to get destroyed by a nuclear attack – I think it will be the US, although there is ample room to interpret that modern Babylon to be London or even Israel, but I think Israel has a big part to play in the very end, so it would be less apt to be the place leveled in Rev 18 – at least the way I read it. Besides, I once heard a preacher say that if God doesn’t destroy the US for its evil ways, then He owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology – and I really believe the United States’ days are numbered. There has never been such a powerful and decadent place in the world, not even in ancient Rome or Athens.

Get out your Bible and read it – live by what it says, our time here is growing short. Stop chasing after wealth; when the end gets here, you’ll see the futility of it – all the riches of Elon Musk, George Soros, and the Zionist billionaires who run the world today will not avail them – in fact it will testify against them – you’ll see. Learn about Jesus Christ – store up your treasure in His Kingdom where it will be safe until we get there. Treasures such as help for the poor, loving our neighbors, a helping hand to an indigent old person – all these things can be considered to be deposits in the account that matters.

We have reached a point in history where we can no longer look to our leadership for guidance, nor can we rely on their wisdom and judgement – they are all in it for the money and power. They no longer look out for the interests of their countries, the only thing that matters to them, the only thing that guides their decision-making, is how much wealth they can gain by what they do. Remember the passage in the Bible when Satan tempted Jesus and offered Him all the wealth and power? Jesus turned Saan down, but there are a lot of rich guys in the world today who took the devil up on the same offer – now they must pay their debt to him – with the blood of innocent people and especially Christians. Hang on folks, it’s about to get crazy for believers.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.
