It is with great sorrow that I am writing this. My husband Thomas Blake passed away on Oct 20, 2011. He was devoted to this blog and spreading the word. The blog will remain up so that people can continue to read his writings and learn from him. There is nothing that made him happier than communing with God each day in preparation for his writing. I am heartbroken at his passing and yet joyful in knowing that he stayed the course and made it to the end strong in his faith. If you are in need of further information please feel free to contact me at cindy.blake1023@yahoo.com. I do not have the writing skills that my husband had but am going to find a way with the help of God to continue his work.
Gods peace and love be with each one of you,
Sister Cindy Blake

The Riches of the Inheritance
We have all heard of stories of someone coming into a great inheritance from some long forgotten or never known relative. This seems possible and we all would like to believe it. It is that tiny bit of belief that allows perpetrators to thrive on internet hoaxes and everyday; someone, somewhere is turning over their social security number, their banking account information and passwords to these internet thieves.
Blake is a very common name and it is a fact that all of the Blake families are related; which makes the Blake name fertile soil for thieves. Several times a year, for the past fifteen years or more; some barrister or solicitor from somewhere in Africa; contacts me as the only named heir in a $10 million dollar estate. All they need is my confidential banking information to release the funds to my account.
God’s inheritance is placed in you
Ephesians 1:17-18 KJV That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: (18) The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
All it takes is belief and faith
Hebrews 11:6 KJV But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Belief = Up to 99.9 % certainty
Faith = 100% Fact; substance, evidence and hard tangible proof
Hebrews 11:1 KJV Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
It is hard to make our inheritance in Christ a vivid reality because we have been lied to about it most of our lives. The inheritance has been programmed to be the lesser of the two evils (the two choices); Eternity in heavens bright light of nothingness or the tormenting fires of eternal damnation in the lake of fire and hell. Is your inheritance worth dying for? If not; it needs to come alive through faith and understanding of God’s WORD.
Tonight; through this study; the WORD is going to make your inheritance come alive; become substance; with hard, tangible proof. The WORD will paint a vivid picture.
FAITH IS OUR CANVAS AND THE WORD IS OUR PAINT.
Our Faith Comes From Jesus the WORD Made Flesh
Hebrews 12:2 KJV Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The WORD in written, and spoken form
Romans 10:17 KJV So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
We must allow the gift of our faith to grow in and through Jesus Christ our LORD.
THE BEGINNING:
God wanted someone to talk to
Because God is LOVE; and love is out flowing to others; God wanted someone to talk to and to express Himself to; not just an inanimate object; nor a puppy dog pet. God wanted someone His equal. Mothers and Day Care workers know this all too well. Day after day of spending endless hours with babies and preschoolers; there becomes a craving to have some intelligent conversation at an adult level. A university professor would become very bored if there were not graduate students and colleagues to stimulate their thoughts in discussion at their level.
From Eternity
The WORD; that is to say God in His spoken intelligence; has eternally existed and everyone else and everything else was created by and through him; even the universe. Since the universe cannot contain God; the universe is contained in God; thereby making God ever present everywhere.
John 1:1-3, 14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (2) The same was in the beginning with God. (3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Genesis 1:1-2 KJV In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (2) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
The original word in the Hebrew describe a state that would best be related to being war torn; NOT A NEWLY CREATED STATE!
Without form Tohu – Waste and desolation
Void Bohu – Ruin and emptiness
This would suggest that the time between its original creation and verse 2 would account for the war in heaven between Lucifer and God.
Isaiah 14:12-16 KJV How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! (13) For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: (14) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (15) Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. (16) They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
The creation account in Genesis could very well be a recreation. The original creation of earth may have been initially for the angels. The book of Jude refers to fallen angels as having left their first estate. It is my belief and conclusion from drawing all of the scriptures together on the fall of Lucifer and his demons; that He (Lucifer) was given the project of preparing for the creation of man and would have been responsible for ministering to man along with one third of the angels which were assigned to him. When he realized that he was helping God prepare for the heirs of promise, which excluded him; he rebelled; taking a third of all of the angels with him.
Jude 1:6 KJV And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Genesis 1:26-28 KJV (26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (28) And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
God’s master plan is to reproduce Himself; but the one thing that God cannot create is HOLY, RIGHTEOUS, PERFECT, GODLY CHARACTER. To create this would be to create robots. Godly character must be developed out of free moral agency.
God made human life in His image
Human life was to provide a character development program; by which humans would be transformed from carnal creatures into the very sons of God. He made male and female to both be co-heirs to this incredible human potential; however, certain of His traits He put more dominate in women (nurturing and creative) and others He put more dominate in man (hunter/gatherer and logic); as a general rule; but both would possess all of God’s traits. By making man and women; God set in motion a perfect opportunity for two people to grow in oneness physically, emotionally and spiritually in a temporal human life; while at the same time growing in oneness to God Himself. This is why Paul’s writings on marriage are so important. The process of a woman becoming a physical bride mirrors the process by which both men and women become the Bride of Christ. The ultimate goal for Christians is to sit with Christ on His throne with Him and judge the nations; here on earth and ultimately throughout the vast universe that sits there awaiting the beautification that the Saints of the Most High will embark upon for all eternity.
PHYSICAL MARRIAGE
Ephesians 5:26 KJV That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Ephesians 5:21-27 KJV Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. (22) Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. (23) For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. (24) Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. (25) Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; (26) That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, (27) That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
SPIRITUAL MARRIAGE AS THE BRIDE OF CHRIST: THE CHURCH – [GREEK: ekklēsia] CALLED OUT ONES
THE GOAL: Called To Overcome – To Be Transformed In Christ – To the ones that Overcome; Jesus gives the following 15 Promises:
Revelation 2:7 KJV He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to [1] EAT OF THE TREE OF LIFE, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Revelation 2:11 KJV He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh [2] SHALL NOT BE HURT OF THE SECOND DEATH.
Revelation 2:17 KJV He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to [3] EAT OF THE HIDDEN MANNA, AND WILL [4] GIVE HIM A WHITE STONE, AND IN THE STONE [5] A NEW NAME WRITTEN, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Revelation 2:26 KJV And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, [6] TO HIM WILL I GIVE POWER OVER THE NATIONS:
Revelation 3:5 KJV He that overcometh, the same [7] SHALL BE CLOTHED IN WHITE RAIMENT; and [8] I WILL NOT BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE, but [9] I WILL CONFESS HIS NAME BEFORE MY FATHER, AND BEFORE HIS ANGELS.
Revelation 3:12 KJV Him that overcometh will [10] I MAKE A PILLAR IN THE TEMPLE OF MY GOD, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: [11] AND I WILL WRITE UPON HIM MY NEW NAME.
Revelation 3:21 KJV To him that overcometh [12] WILL I GRANT TO SIT WITH ME IN MY THRONE, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Revelation 21:7 KJV He that overcometh [13] SHALL INHERIT ALL THINGS; AND [14] I WILL BE HIS GOD, AND [15] HE SHALL BE MY SON.
If God came to you as a trillionaire business man and offered to finance your hearts desires until you died at age 90, in perfect health; you would do most anything. God owns it all; the entire universe; He’s offering everything for all eternity; just answer His call and live holy, in His righteousness. The riches of your inheritance are beyond comprehension! Don’t turn God down! Repent; be baptized in Jesus’ name and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost today!

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!

The Seventh Seal of Trumpets and Plagues
We have been looking at the prophetic End Time events as described in Revelation and their correlation to Jesus’ own words in Matthew 24. Most everyone today, over the age of forty would have to say that; they can’t ever remember the magnitude of the perils of war and crime along with the frequency and intensity of world natural disasters. Most people in the over forty generations would admit that there is something different about the times that we live in now.
God’s WORD has been warning the world through the prophets; through the written WORD and through the sayings of Jesus Christ; that there will come a time on the earth; such as has never been, nor will ever be again. The Bible tells us to watch and be prepared. We need to live as if every moment could be our last; but also live as if we will live until we reach a ripe old age of 95. Being prepared does not mean; “stop living;” and watching does not mean to just wait. There is the story of the talents. The one who just waited, who buried his one talent and did nothing; he was cast into outer darkness and his one talent was given to the one who had ten.
We have looked previously at the first six seals and their correlation to today’s world; things already upon us and things yet to come. As we open the seventh seal; there is complete silence for half an hour. We can just gloss over this simple statement; but think about it. Here is the headquarters that runs the universe; it has to be a busy place because our earth is round and people are going to bed as others are just getting up. The affairs of planet earth must keep heaven busy. We have read previously about the throne of God and the four heavenly beasts and the twenty four elders who praise God continuously. All of this activity, praise, worship and normal day in and day out business stops for a half an hour. Every being in heaven will know what this silence announces. It will be a mixture of joy and sorrow. This heavenly host has seen all of the evils going on from the Garden of Eden forward. The return of Jesus Christ will change the governments of the world into the governments of heaven. This will bring great joy. The sorrow will come with all of the events that will try the entire world.
Revelation 8:1-6 KJV And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. (2) And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. (3) And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. (4) And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. (5) And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. (6) And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
For six thousand years; God has been looking to these events and all of the Heavenly host have been watching in prepared readiness along with all of the angels. All of the prayers of all of the saints down through the ages have been sitting on the golden altar of incense before the throne of God. The silence and stillness will erupt in smoke with thunder and lightening and an earthquake! This is the greatest prelude to the greatest moment ever in the entire universe. The resurrection of the saints; will happen with the sound of a trumpet. This trumpet will announce eternal life to those who have allowed God to place His character within them.
God could not give His character to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden; to do so would have made them robots. God does not want robots; He wants being like Himself, who voluntarily embrace righteousness! God can create everything and He has. He could become flesh and walk with His creation and He did. He could live and pave the way for us as the captain of salvation and He did and does; but only we can choose Him out of a free moral agency
The trumpets will begin to sound:
An angel sounded the first trumpet and one third of all trees grass and vegetation will be destroyed.
An angel sounded the second trumpet and one third of of all sea life will be destroyed.
An angel sounded the third trumpet and one third of all fresh water; the rivers will be turned to wormwood.
An angel sounded the fifth trumpet which announces three woes and an angel has the keys to the bottomless pit and out of it comes locusts that do not harm vegetation, but inflict illness upon people that will last five months.
An angel sounded the sixth trumpet which announces a huge army of 200 million soldiers that will battle for 1 year; 1 month; one day and one hour.
Revelation 8:7-11 KJV The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. (8) And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; (9) And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. (10) And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; (11) And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. (12) And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. (13) And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
These are horrific events that will effect every man, woman and child. The fifth trumpet unleashes locust which do not harm vegetation, but they strike men with a five month illness so bad that they seek death and can’t find it. John never saw a helicopter; most scholars of the book of Revelation believe that what John saw were modern day helicopters and war implements. The five month disease was some type of biological weapon.
Revelation 9:1-10 KJV And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (2) And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. (3) And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. (4) And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. (5) And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. (6) And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. (7) And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. (8) And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. (9) And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. (10) And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
The Sixth Trumpet 200 Million Man Army
The stage will be set for a mighty army to come from the East. They will kill a third of all men on the earth.
Revelation 9:13-15 KJV And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, (14) Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. (15) And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
Revelation 9:16-21 KJV And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand(200 Million Man Army): and I heard the number of them. (17) And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. (18) By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. (19) For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. (20) And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: (21) Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
In Chapter 10, God tells John to warn the people of the world a second time before the seven last plagues are poured out upon the earth.
The Seven Last Plagues (Revelation Chapter 16)
1. Grievous sore
2. Sea became as the blood
3. Rivers and fountains of waters became blood.
4. Sun scorch men with fire.
5. Darkness
6. Euphrates dries up
7. Destruction of earth at 2nd coming of Jesus
God is not angry with the people of the world without cause. Man has forgotten that he was made for God and not for himself. Human nature is a powerful drive. Without the Holy Ghost abiding within man; he would always bring himself to the brink of destruction. We live in a world of appalling evil; the fruit of man without the guidance of Almighty God; the fruit of man choosing for himself what is right and wrong; instead of following God.

Except those days be shortened
“There should no flesh be saved alive;” so says Jesus Christ about our generation! There are false prophets who would deceive you into paving their own lives with your riches; lining their coats with your money. They want to alarm you into following them! This writer only wants you to follow Jesus Christ; but we do live in perilous times. This world needs a savior, this world needs Jesus Christ! Have you invited Jesus Christ into your life? Is the LORD the pilot of your life? Are you secure in His hands and prepared for what lies ahead? Are you part of God’s elect?Matthew 24:22 KJV And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved (alive): but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
You need to know where you stand before the LORD. If Jesus Christ came tonight; you need to know where you stand. This life is your one chance to grab onto eternal life in paradise with the LORD or to throw it all away for a few pleasures of sin for a short season and pay for it with an eternity in hell with the devil. It is your choice to win or to lose. God sets before you today; life or death; blessings or curses; and the LORD is their lovingly hoping that you will choose life and blessings; not just for a few short years in this life; but for all eternity. Jesus is at the door knocking and offering you an invitation to be saved and to be blessed!
Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
The world’s Christianity keeps you in a mystery; keeps you in a fog for their personal gain. They have convinced many that the Bible is impossible to understand; a book shrouded in hidden meaning; that they only; ”clergy;” like themselves can understand. They want you dependent upon them instead of Jesus Christ. One pastor of a major denomination once told me; “It is our job security to keep the people dependant upon us.” The Bible doesn’t conceal; it reveals!
The last book in the Bible; the book of Revelation is precisely a book of revealing truth. We have been talking about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Seven Seals of a Scroll that is now opening on the horizon of world events today! These are a prelude to the return of our Savior and LORD Jesus Christ! The first rider is a warning that there is a great deceiver that would steal your eternal inheritance; a false Christ! Jesus warned of this in this very chapter where we are reading:Matthew 24:4-5 KJV And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. (5) For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

| 144,000 Rapture |
We have read about two large companies of people who will be sealed. That is the next event that we are now awaiting; the Rapture of 144,000 and a great immeasurable multitude. God has sent His angels to hold back the impending events that will trigger the final destruction of the devil’s rule over the earth. The LORD is holding back these events so that you can get your house in order and be ready!
Revelation 7:1-4 KJV And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. (2) And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, (3) Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. (4) And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
 |
| Great Multitude |
Revelation 7:9-10 KJV After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; (10) And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
The next event to follow; will be the Great Tribulation. My friend, you want to be sealed in Christ! The hour is coming upon mankind to try all of the souls of people. It will be a horrific time, because the devil is going down fighting; fighting God! Has he won your soul to keep you in hell with him for all eternity? Are the pleasures of this world holding you to its master; the devil? Are you addicted to pleasure; worldly entertainment; sexual immorality; violence, lust, greed, drugs, nicotine and alcohol? These are the vices of the devil to deceive you into relinquishing your crown of life with Jesus Christ!

Storm Before Peace: 7 Trumpets -- Readiness Answered The Call
The American people and the world watched in great disbelief when terrorist attacks took down the two World Trade Towers on September 11, 2001. Ten years later we are still learning new things about that day. 
The towers were on Manhattan which is an island. The bridges that connect it to New York City were immediately closed; trapping everyone on the island. Hysteria broke out when nearly the entire island became engulfed in a cloud of dust from the two massive towers imploding. Most had no idea of what was happening. 
They ran to the area where the ferry docked to try to get off the island. It became immediately evident that the ferry boats would not be enough. A call went out to boat operators to help shuttle people off of the Island. It is not known how many boats came to the rescue of the people of Manhattan; but around 500,000 people were evacuated off of the Island in about 9 hours; by thousands of boats. As one witness said, “If it floated, it responded!” An eleven minute; very well done professional quality documentary narrated by Tom Hanks has been circulating through emails, twitter and Face Book this week. If you haven’t seen it; check out the link to it below.9/11 has taught us that catastrophe can strike at anytime. There is very little that we can do to be prepared physically for these types of attacks. No preparation would have physically saved anyone in the Towers who was above the point of impact. Saving our physical lives is instinct and we will all fight to the death to save ourselves; our family and our friends. Some have shown reckless abandonment for themselves in order to save a stranger. Jesus Christ says that there is no higher love!
John 15:13 ESV Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
How many of those who died in 9/11 were saved eternally? How many of them were ready to meet God face to face that day? It didn’t have to be from terrorist attacks because 150,680 people die every day worldwide; that is almost 2 people every second. How many are saved? How many of them are immersion baptized in Jesus’ name; blood washed, Holy Ghost filled Christians? Jesus said that we have to be born again! These are not my words. Being born again, means to be born of both the water and of the spirit; once again; the LORD’s words!
John 3:3-5 ESV Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." (4) Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" (5) Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
When asked by His disciples; Jesus told them to watch and know the times so that they would be ready for His return and the “End Time.” However, it is not just for the “End Time;” that we need to be ready. The end of our lives can come as quickly as it did for those who died upon impact that day at the World Trade Center, Pentagon and that field of heroes where the third plane crashed. Those who had time to contemplate their eminent death had the time to say a prayer and prepared to meet their maker; not everyone is given such a chance.
In April of this year, after becoming delirious suddenly; from a septic infection; my wife called paramedics and they rushed me to the hospital and doctors braced my wife for my death which seemed most certain. Although it appeared that I was conscious, I have no memory of that day; three weeks later I awoke from my coma.
Praise the LORD that He saved my physical life and healed me. Thankfully, my walk with the LORD is 24/7, 365; worship, prayer and Bible study are my daily habit. An older and very wise man, Pastor John W. Grant; taught me to dwell in heavenly places daily through prayer and worship with the speaking in the tongues of the Holy Ghost. I love the LORD with all of my heart, mind and soul. Christianity is not a religion and church is not a place to go; being a Christian is who I am and church is what I am as well. Three times in the past three years; death was knocking at my door and doctors expected me to die. Each time; thank the LORD; I was ready.
Being ready for the return of Jesus does not mean merely waiting. There are many people who have prediction addiction who are always setting dates or following some guru who sets dates and these people have actually stopped living life to wait. We each need to live everyday as if it were our last; living in His righteousness and holiness; but LIVE! Live and prepare as if you are going to live until age 105!
There are many professing Christians that believe that they can be steeped in the world; committing adultery and fornication; lie, steal and cheat; totally ignore God and spend as little time as possible in worship, prayer, Bible study and church; and they believe that they are going to heaven!
Friends, you need to know your Bible, because only through your Bible are you going to know God. There is a warning going out from God in the form of world events that have been happening in greater proportion and magnitude. The Four Horsemen of The Apocalypse/Revelation are here. They are the first 4 of 7 seals that have been opened. You want to be on the right side of God when 5 and 6 are opened. When the seventh seal is opened, it will be too late for the backslider and the unbeliever!
Revelation 15:1 KJV And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
The seventh seal will unleash seven blasts of the trumpet in succession; each trumpet will unleash unimaginable catastrophic plagues that will culminate with three final woes and the return of Jesus Christ to punish this world and put it on a Godly path of His Righteousness.
