We will be given the awesome opportunity to publicly proclaim our allegiance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  This appears that it was always part of God’s plan to create an environment that is unfavorable for the free worship of Christ.  It may be the only way to determine that those who say they are Christian have spoken truth.  God knows, but do we?  I know that I may never judge another person’s motivations but won’t those unbelievers who have been nesting in the mustard tree for fellowship and peaceful benefit immediately flee as pressure mounts?  It looks as if the days where we will have to pay a heavy price for our Christian faith are nearly upon us.  God sustain us as the pressure to walk away from you mounts.  To those of you keeping the faith rejoice in this opportunity to demonstrate your belief.

There has been a unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach since I have seen Israel’s detractors begin to coalesce and mount a considerable media and political push targeted at isolating the Nation.  Again this is a wonderful opportunity for those who have listened well to God’s Will and continue to bless Israel, for they shall also be blessed as people and as nations.  But this nagging feeling, akin to nausea, may very well be the indication of short timing for discipleship opportunities.  The day is short, can’t you feel it?  Jesus will soon stand up and make ready for His glorious appearing.  Will we hear the voice like a trumpet sooner than that?  Possibly, Hallelujah to the King of Kings.

This old world is ready for a do over.  We humans have done everything in our power to use up, waste, squander, poison and destroy the blessings we were given by God.  Our care for this planet is nothing but shameful.  Political arguments, smarguments.  If you run your car in a closed garage for long enough the air inside will be deadly, how can running cars inside of a closed atmosphere be any different?  I don’t care what side you are on, but have you seen pictures of Beijing at high noon.  Our fresh air and water, both life-crucial resources are in short supply.  How have they explained, are we to survive past the tipping point of these necessary elements?  Have you heard any good ideas of how to return  the air to cleanliness or repair the Earth’s depleting and polluted waters?  Of course not, because we are generally short sighted, to us we only consider the problems in perspective of years.  What then does vision of centuries conjure?  We cannot solve these problems, that is why we do not wish to speak of them, aligning ourselves with a “get it while you can” mentality.  Those with money chuckle when confronted with the general plight of the masses, believing themselves somehow beyond the impact of these changing paradigms.  That is the grandeur of God’s plan, none shall escape the overwhelming tragedy of tribulation, the poor and the rich both must confront their mortality and their relationship to sin.

Would it be wise, if I knew the way to escape judgment, to keep the secret to myself?  Even if I knew that some would mock me, beat me, ostracize me or perhaps even seek my demise.  What should I do if I know beyond doubt that some will listen and be saved, even though I must suffer for those who think me fool?  Do I stand still, with cards close to breast, whispering within my inner circles, always knowing that some could be coaxed away from the precipice?  This world is shaping up to match the circumstances in the Bible leading up to rapture, tribulation and judgment.  I know what must be done and that is to tell everyone within ear shot about Jesus Christ, hoping and praying that God reveals Himself to them, that they might be set free from sin, death and ignorance.  The time of harvest seems ripe and we will soon be able to stand and be counted on one side or the other.  I pray that when you leave this Earth that you find yourself standing in front of Jesus as He welcomes you to paradise.  Know this that God loves you and I am praying for you.  I am open if you wish to discuss any questions or concerns.  God Bless you, in Jesus’ Name.
