A Second Warning

Never before in the history of the world has the WORD of God gone out in a greater warning than it has in these past twenty years.  The Bible remains the all time No. 1 best seller in the world!  No other book comes close. 

With the popularity and affordability of MP3 players, the demand for audio Bibles has created a substantial new market for the Bible.  It once took a briefcase full of cassette tapes; then a notebook of CDs; to hold the entire Bible in audio form.  Now it all fits on a micro card ¼ the size of the standard postage stamp; a mere 2 gigabytes per translation.  People are walking around with ten or more versions of the Bible in audio and e-book form on their smart phones.

FAITH COMES BY HEARING

Romans 10:17 KJV So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

In the 70s, while doing mission work on a Hopi Indian reservation, Jerry and Annette Jackson discovered a room full of beautiful, unused Hopi Bibles. Because of illiteracy, printed Bibles were of little use to the Hopi.

The Jacksons wondered, “If people can’t read, how can they know the Scriptures and make an eternal decision for Christ?”

The Jacksons founded Hosanna in 1972 with the goal to share God’s Word. Morgan, their son, joined the staff in 1983 and became International Director in 1991. In response to God’s leading, the ministry has focused on providing the Word of God to poor and illiterate people in a culturally relevant format.

Requests to record the Bible in the indigenous languages of Haiti and Peru were the inspiration for the Audio Dramatized New Testament. Since then, Faith Comes By Hearing has become the largest producer of the Audio Bible in the world.

The organization Faith Comes By Hearing has recorded the New Testament in nearly every language of the world; of all peoples; and has developed a Tri-Powered MP3 player that is completely a stand alone unit.  It has an amplification system that can be heard by 300 people sitting around it.  It has AC/Solar/Hand Crank means to power it.  Hand-crank it for 20 minutes and it plays for 2 hours.  The WORD of God has literally reached every creature on the planet.  

Speaking to His disciples about the End Time and His coming; Jesus said that the Gospel had to be preached to every nation. 

Mark 13:10 KJV And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

The word nation in the Greek language means: race, tribe, Gentile, heathen, nation and people; basically it must be preached to everyone everywhere.  Mark 16:15 says to every creature.   The word creature in the Greek means:  building, creation, creature, and ordinance.  American legislative ordinances and laws are decided upon in sessions of the Congress that are opened in prayer by pastors; traditionally Christian. 

As of 2011, all Senate Chaplains have been Christian but can be members of any religion or faith group. Guest Chaplains, recommended by Senators to deliver the session's opening prayer in place of the Senate Chaplain, have represented "all the world's major religious faiths."    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

THE OPEN LITTLE SCROLL

Revelation 10:1-2 ESV Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire.  (2)  He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land,

Revelation 10:8-11 ESV Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, "Go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."  (9)  So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, "Take and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey."  (10)  And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.  (11)  And I was told, "You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings."

This prophecy may very well be an instruction to the End Time Church to preach the Gospel again.  When we think that we have reached everyone; preach it again to the entire world.  Obviously; God takes His WORD very seriously and so should we.  The WORD gives us life and secures our eternal life with Jesus Christ.  Stand with the WORD; stand in the WORD; eat it and digest it and prepare for the future.  Your preparation time is fast escaping!
