The Unadulterated Word Of God. Part [15] 11/011/2023 (Evening thought)

2nd Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.

[The Great Controversy pp 88] Those who behold these harbingers of his coming are to “know that it is near, even at the doors.”  “Watch you therefore,” are his words of admonition. They that heed the warning shall not be left in darkness, that that day should overtake them unawares. unto them that will not watch, “the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.” Come when it may, the day of God will come unawares to the ungodly.

When life is going on in its unvarying round; when men are absorbed in pleasure, in business, in traffic, in money-making; When religious leaders are magnifying the world's progress and enlightenment, and the people are lulled in a false security, then, as the midnight thief steals within the unguarded dwelling, so shall sudden destruction come upon the careless and ungodly, “and they shall not escape.”

Then shall they that obey not the gospel be consumed with the spirit of his mouth, and be destroyed with the brightness of his coming. [2 Thessalonians 2:8.] Like Israel of old, the wicked destroy themselves; they fall by their iniquity. By a life of sin, they have placed themselves so out of harmony with God, their natures have become so debased with evil, that the manifestation of his glory is to them a consuming fire.

2nd Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

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

The Unadulterated Word Of God. Part [14] 11/010/2023 (Morning thought)

Matthew 24:6 And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Question: Could it be that the turmoil and distresses across the world, and in our own backyard, are the harbingers of an impending final conflict, in the not-too distant future, and could it be that planet earth is on the cusp of something cataclysmic, and kings, presidents, rulers, and the people alike might not be reading the tea leaves correctly?

Like king Josiah, we have heard what the law says, we have become greatly perplexed by what is prophesied, and by what is actually taking place on the ground across our planet, and we have rent our clothes in utter dismay so now, there’s only one thing left for us to do, let’s send to “Huldah”, God’s modern day prophet to see what will be her interpretation of current events, as written in the law.

 [The Great Controversy pp 88] Let men beware, lest they neglect the lesson conveyed to them in the words of Christ. As he warned his disciples of Jerusalem's destruction, giving them a sign of the approaching ruin, that they might make their escape; So, he has warned the world of the day of final destruction, and has given them tokens of its approach, that all who will may flee from the wrath to come. Jesus declares, “There shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations.” [Luke 21:25; Matthew 24:29; Mark 13:24-26; Revelation 6:12-17.]

Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

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