Prepare For Crunch Time. Part [5] 06/06/2026 (Evening thought)

Revelation 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.

[RH January 1 1889, par 4] Prophecy represents Protestantism as having lamb-like horns, but speaking like a dragon. Already we are beginning to hear the voice of the dragon. There is the prospect before us, of waging a continuous war, at the risk of imprisonment, of losing property and even life itself, to defend the law of God, which is being made void by the laws of men. In other words, there are some of us who would get into trouble for preaching and teaching the straight, unadulterated truths of God’s word.

And therefore, if the husband and wife are not on the same page, it will cause friction to erupt between the two of them as they read from completely different scripts. The father in the home must take time to converse with his wife and family about the prophecies that are scheduled for the final conflict, so that they will not build their hopes upon fanciful perspectives of instantaneous deliverance from God, at every first sign of trouble.

Especially should Scriptural instructions be adopted, since the spirit of intolerance, vindictiveness, and anarchy are currently gaining the ascendency….. 2nd Timothy 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

2nd Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!

Prepare For Crunch Time. Part [4] 06/05/2026 (Morning thought)

Matthew 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

For many years we have been living the comfortable life as Christians, and even though other persons do not see eye to eye with our peculiar faith, we have been more or less tolerated. And because of this, a sort of lukewarm condition might have obtained in  some instances, where we just go with the flow. The time is coming soon when our peculiar form of Christianity will not be looked upon so favorably, or tolerated anymore.

And we would increasingly find ourselves at odds with mainstream philosophies, or doctrines, concepts, and practices that are currently embraced in contemporary Christian circles. In the not-too distant future we will find ourselves in some awkward positions where we will have to take a definite stand for the truths of God’s word, against pushback, and terrible remonstrances from close associates. All of that is included when Jesus says that a man’s foes will be those of his own household.

That easy going form of Christianity, where persons are not brought into straitened places, where you could hide your light under a bushel without taking up the cross of Christ in public, will come to an end. We would have to let our employers and customers know that we will not be working over the sacred hours of the Sabbath. And even if persons have to take a material loss by doing so, the true Christian will have to be prepared to follow Jesus all the way, whatever the cost.

Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
