I have already received an excellent response to my last post and I wanted to introduce you to one of my favorite Bible/Eschatological teachers...Mr. Patrick Heron. Patrick is a scholar on the subject of the nephilim and he also adds some of his thoughts about Hollywood's attempts to advance the agenda of the Evil One and the fallen ones in these last days. Enjoy!
After listening to Patrick Heron describe events that will take place on this planet in the not too distant future don't you think it is time to decide what to do about Jesus? Please watch the little video in the right sidebar and let us know if you have placed your faith in Christ as Savior. We would love to celebrate with you!
Falling Skies is a 10 episode series that began airing it's second season this month on TNT. It is produced by Steven Spielberg and was viewed by nearly 5 million people on June 17th. Falling Skies is based on the invasion of planet earth by aliens and the action takes place six month after the intitial attack. The main character of the story is named "Noah" and it is this man who leads a rag tag group of Massachussetts survivors to wage war against the aliens. The main villains of this program are unearthly creatures called "skitters". Falling Skies is just another example of "predictive programming" that the elites are using to set up the great deceptions that are soon to occur during the coming great tribulation. Jesus said that in the last days it would very much resemble conditions that existed in the days of Noah.
Matthew 24:37
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.
What were the days of Noah like? Well, the most notable event that occurred during Noah's day was the invasion from Heaven by the "sons of God". These sons of God were fallen angels who the Bible says "left their own habitation" and cohabited with earthly women and produced a breed of half human and half angel hybrids called the nephilim. It is very likely that your church and pastor have never mentioned this story, it is one of the most neglected chapters in all the Bible, Genesis 6. It is a tragedy that God gave us this valuable piece of information in the first six chapters of His Book and it is virtually unknown to most Christians. Undoubtedly Satan has done a masterful job of subduing the spread of this important teaching. For a good teaching on this subject visitthis site. There is a correlation between this story and the so called UFO phenomenonand for the sake of brevity I would ask you to visit the excellent teachings of Mr. Chuck Missler. In these last days there has been a tremendous increase in UFO sightings and accounts of alien abductions and genetic experimentation. I believe these accounts are not alien but demonic and I believe they are fulfillment of what Jesus said would occur in these days just as it occured in the days of Noah.
Falling Skies main character is named Noah, that is no mere coincidence, it is predictive programming. The skitter resemble the demonic beasts that visit the earth in Revelation chapter nine, that is not coincidence, it is predictive programming. There is a line in one of the episodes where a character describes the following..."the skitters came after us like locusts". None of these shows or movies are a coincidence they are all predictive programming for events that are in the very near future. The whole theme of Falling Skies is the life of "left behind" survivors and their struggle during a time called the Great Tribulation . You might find it unbelievable that such supernatural events are coming but the Bible is very clear that a time of trouble like no other in the history of the world will soon be upon wicked men in this last generation. I have mentioned these last day themes many times on this site and I do it to warn you of the fleeting opportunities you may have left to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as your own Saviour! Again, I urge you to read some of the materials on this blog and watch the short video in the right side bar. Christ waits eagerly to receive and pardon you, don't delay.
Nik Wallenda is a 7th generation member of the famous "Flying Wallenda Family". On Friday night, June 15, Wallenda braved unpredictable wind currents and incredible mists of water as he walked a two inch diameter cable 1800 feet across the Niagra Falls. He was the first man to ever accomplish this feat and it may never be done again. "I hope what I do and what I just did inspires people around the world to reach for the skies," he said. "There was no way to focus on the movement of the cable," said Wallenda, 33. "If I looked down at the cable there was water moving everywhere. And if I looked up there was heavy mist blowing in front of my face. So it was a very unique, a weird sensation." He said he accomplished the feat through "a lot of praying, that's for sure. But, you know, it's all about the concentration, the focus, and the training." I believe that Nik did indeed pray a lot. He was heard praying to "Jesus, my Righteous King". That's the kind of praying I like to hear! This world needs to know that the God you believe in is the Most High, the High and Lofty One, the one and only Jesus Christ! In another interview Wallenda related the following details about his life... "I grew up in a born-again Christian family, a (B)ible-believing, God-fearing family," he told the Toronto Sun. "That's the way I was raised, and I find comfort and peace in that." Nik Wallenda walked on a two inch cable that separated him from time and eternity. He did it confidently knowing that if he fell he would be in the very presence of his Righteous King! You and I think that Nik leads a very dangerous life but every day we all walk a fine line between time and eternity. There are traffic accidents, work place accidents, deadly diseases and a multitude of other things that could take us from this world to the next. The Bible says our lives are but "vapours that appear for a little while and then vanish away". We all need the comfort and assurance of the incredible Nik Wallenda! We need Jesus to navigate the dangerous lives we lead. Have you come to Jesus for the forgiveness of sins? Watch the little video in the right side bar, read some of the helpful articleson this site. Believe in Him for eternal life...be saved today!
Here is a link to a radio news story concerning an outbreak of locusts in Herald, California. I have been trying to present some evangelistic posts as well as prophetic articles that warn readers of the lateness of the hour. The locusts in Herald is indeed a bizarre story. First of all, a severe locust infestation is gauged by the number of locusts per square yard. A severe outbreak is a count of 60 to 65 locusts per square yard. There are reports of 5,000 locusts per square yard in California! Secondly, the name of the town should have caught your attention...Herald! God is trying in a number of ways to get our attention. The dead fish, dead birds, dead dolphins, dead whales, drought, escalating earthquakes, escalating volcanoes, impending financial doom in Europe and imminent war in the Middle East are all screaming LAST DAYS! Here is a video of the Baptist pastor in Indiana that I have recommended in the past...
I hear too many Christians defend their apathy to all these signs by saying that "no one knows the day or the hour". That is about all the eschatology they know! They are ignorant of the fact that the Apostle Paul said we would not be caught by surprise concerning the coming of Christ and our gathering together unto Him that will happen 7 years prior.
1 Thessalonians 5
King James Version (KJV)
5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
Christians should be in high alert as we watch events unfold, especially, the developments surrounding the nation of Israel. Christians need to awaken out of their sleep. Unbelievers need to receive Christ as their Savior by believing on Him! The word of the hour is "urgency". What you are going to do about Jesus needs to be done right now! Watch the little video in the right sidebar and explore this blog. Coming to Jesus is a simple process but it is not easy because the devil and man's pride will tell you to wait. Don't wait, do it now.
Any time we have a discussion of great grace preachers then Harry Ironside must be included in that list! Harry Ironside was born in Canada in 1876 and experienced a difficult but amazing childhood. At birth he was declared dead and laid aside while medical attention was focused on his mother. It was nearly 40 minutes later that an attendant discovered a faint pulse and efforts to fully revive him were started. His early years were difficult too. His father died when he was only two. The family moved to Los Angeles where young Harry began to develop spiritually. His mother attempted to find a church with a children's Sunday School but they were not successful so young Harry at age 11 started his own! He organzied his neighborhood buddies to help him sew together hundreds of burlap bags and make a tent to house their Sunday School. Soon 60 children and several adults were attending. Because Harry was unable to find a teacher for the class he did that too! He began street preaching in his early teens and was deeply inspired by attending a large evangelistic crusade in L.A. that featured the preaching of D.L. Moody. Although Ironside would acquire no formal education beyond the 8th grade he was mightily used of God throughout his career. Amazingly, Harry Ironside preached 7000 sermons to 1.25 million people from 1916 to 1929. He would preach the gospel on the streets if he had no church to preach in and he preached the true free grace gospel! His many accomplishments include the preaching of Billy Sunday's funeral and the pastoring the famous Moody Church in Chicago. Here is a fabulous quote by Ironside on the true nature of faith and repentance...
“The Gospel is not a call to repentance, or to amendment of our ways, to make restitution for past sins, or to promise to do better in the future. These things are proper in their place, but they do not constitute the Gospel; for the Gospel is not good advice to be obeyed, it is good news to be believed. Do not make the mistake then of thinking that the Gospel is a call to duty or a call to reformation, a call to better your condition, to behave yourself in a more perfect way than you have been doing in the past …Nor is the Gospel a demand that you give up the world, that you give up your sins, that you break off bad habits, and try to cultivate good ones. You may do all these things, and yet never believe the Gospel and consequently never be saved at all.”
The gospel is good news to be believed! Friend, if you died today are you sure you would go to heaven? If you did die today and you were to stand before God and He were to ask you "Why should I let you into my Heaven?" what would you tell Him? Watch the little video in the right side bar or read this short message. Trust Christ today! Harry Ironside would want you to do that and I want you to know God's forgiveness and the wonders of Heaven!
I have to confess that since marrying my sweet wife nearly 37 years ago that my musical tastes have evolved a bit. I used to be a little too heavily exposed to classic rock but her influence on my life has brought a lot of gospel and a little country too. We were in the car the other day listening to a classic country station out of Manhattan, Kansas, and I heard a song entitled "Ain't In No Hurry" by a group called the Zac Brown Band. The group is wildly successful. They have produced 9 straight #1 hits, won 2 Grammys and won the Best New Artist Award in 2010. The six members of this Georgia band are fun to listen to but as I reflected on the words to their new hit I was saddened in my spirit by what I heard. See if you can find the same concern in these lyrics...
You know my old car needs washing And the front yard needs a trim And the telephone keeps ringing And the bossman knows I know it's him And the bills ain't gonna pay themselves No matter anyway Cause I ain't in no hurry today
There's nothing wrong with an old cane fishing pole And the smell of early spring Sit down in a fold-up easy chair On a quiet shady river bank Let the world go on without me Wouldn't have it any other way Cause I ain't in no hurry today [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/z/zac_brown_band/aint_in_no_hurry.html ] Ain't in no hurry I'd Be a fool now to worry About all those things I can't change And the time that I borrow Can wait till tomorrow Cause I ain't in no hurry today
When I must return To the cold cold ground Have 'em take their time When they lay this sinner down
Heaven knows that I ain't perfect I've raised a little cain And I plan to raise a whole lot more Before I hear those angels sing (Gonna get right with the lord) But there'll be hell to pay But I ain't in no hurry
Ain't in no hurry Be a fool now to worry About all those things I can't change And the time that I borrow Can wait till tomorrow Cause I ain't in no hurry Ain't in no hurry Ain't in no hurry today
I bet you noticed the words in question. It may be a small matter to most folks but it bothered me.
(Gonna get right with the lord) But there'll be hell to pay But I ain't in no hurry
I'm gonna get right with the Lord, but "I ain't in no hurry". It's a subtle but super serious little insight into their thinking concerning eternal issues. We all have a problem and that problem is that we are sinners by birth and by choice in our daily lives. The penalty for that problem is that it carries an eternal punishment in a place called Gehenna or Hell. That is a serious dilemma. The good news is that God sent His only Son to die on the cross in order to make full payment for our sins if we would only believe in Him and on Him for our salvation. The Bible refers to this need as "urgent" and something that needs to be done right now!
2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a timeaccepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the acceptedtime; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
It really couldn't get much clearer than that could it? Today is the day, now is the time! If you have never placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your personal Savior then you need to do it now...today. You need to hurry! We don't know what tomorrow holds. My brother shared a story with me this week concerning his 22 year old son hearing of a dear friend in Chicago dying instantly in a car wreck. This young man was only 22 and it was doubtful that he was a believer in Christ. He never hurried to make that decision and death caught him by surprise. Do you have plans to get right with the Lord someday? Don't plan on "someday" do it now. Watch the little video in the right side bar of this site. Come to Jesus today!
3 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, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; These words of the Apostle Paul describe the traits of people who will be alive during the "last days". I have stated repeatedly that I believe we are living in the last days, the end times. I think that any honest evaluation of natural disasters, collapsing economies, famine, mass animal deaths, earthquakes, signs in the heavens and impending nuclear war would lead any rational person to conclude the same thing. The two incidents of cannibalism in Maryland and Florida this past week have been seized upon by the "zombie" culture that is so prevalent in America. Americans find entertaining and amusing ways to make fun of bizarre and sinful behavior. We create books, movies and games to trivialize the collapse of society and the sinful descent of man. Many are claiming that we are seeing the advent of a zombie apocalypse. I would tell you that we are seeing more evidence of the soon coming of Christ and the beginning of the Biblical tribulation. Paul said that in the last days men would be "fierce". That pretty well describes the events in Miami doesn't it? Paul also said that men would be "incontinent" which simply means uncontrollable. We are witnessing the total unraveling of the fabric of civilized societies. What we are seeing now is just a taste of the horrors to come. Everyone who reads this blog post would be well served by reading the book of Revelation again. Pay particular attention to chapters 5 through 19 as John the Revelator describes the events that are about to occur on this planet. Those things coming to our world will be so frightening that the Scriptures say that men's hearts will fail in fear of those coming on the Earth! In fact, the events that are going to happen will claim the lives of over half the Earth's population. Will a zombie apocalypse happen? No, something much worse is going to happen. Your only hope of surviving is the guide to the supernatural - the Bible! The Scriptures tell us that surviving the days ahead will only be the result of a rescue by One who is called Savior and Redeemer. Paul described early believers in the Lord Jesus this way...
1 Thessalonians 1:9-10
King James Version (KJV)
9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; 10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
I like to think those word describe me. I am waiting for God's Son from Heaven. I believe that He has been raised from the dead. I believe He will deliver me from the wrath to come! Jesus is the only way to survive the coming apocalypse. Have you trusted Him as your Savior? Time is running out. Watch the little video in the right sidebar. Let me know what you decide concerning Jesus.
