"Why you whore! Get away from me, I never knew you!"
So guess what your job is if you have eyes to see and ears to hear?
Do you understand chapter one of this great Book of Joel?
Good,
then you have had some
trumpet lessons
and should be able to
join the "priestly fraternity" in fulfilling their duties,
a major part of which
is to:
Joel 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
My friend, if you have
eyes to see and ears to hear,
then YOU ARE, WE ARE!!!
That is exactly what this Book of Joel is all about!!
It is about the 5th Trump
of Revelation chapter 9
which describes the coming
of the locust army led by Abaddon,
who is Apollyon in the
Greek,
who we documented in
the last study is Satan himself.
You
see, it is written that Michael will soon cast Satan and his angels
out
of heaven to this earth
and
there will be Big Time Spiritual WOE to the inhabitants of the earth!
Oh, they will be happy
as can be in heaven to get rid of the scum bag,
but WOE to us down here!
Rev. 12:12 "Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time**."
** Note: It can be read that Satan will have 3 1/2 years to be "king of the earth", to rule as the false-christ; albeit passing him self off as the real Christ! But the wise in this generation know and understand that Jesus Christ shortened his defacto reign for the elect's sake (so they could blow the trumpet longer and seal the 144,000 and the multitudes in Rev. 7.) Could it be that the "war" or "battle" in Rev.12:7 between Satan and his angels (mostly lawyers no doubt) and Michael and his angels concerns the time of Satan's reign on earth. Nevertheless, he does not prevail (Rev. 12:8) and he loses the battle, and when he is finally cast out he is extremely wroth, "because he knoweth that he hath but a short time", even a shortened time (Rev. 12:12)".
Rev. 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,[8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
[9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
So gird yourselves and lament and "Blow ye the Trumpet in Zion"!
Prepare
yourselves spiritually and with intelligence,
using
wisdom,
tell
the children of this final generation about the locust army!
Yes,
Satan and his angels comprise the final stage of that locust army
and
there will soon be a swarming and spiritual devastation
such
as this earth has never seen, nor ever will again,
"a
time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation" (Dan. 12:1)!
Perhaps
the hardest part for most people to see and understand
is
that the desolation by Satan and his locust army is
a spiritual destruction
which
causes
the "spiritual death"of the soul,
not
the physical death of the flesh body.
That's
right, the great tribulation of the spurious
messiah
is actually a time of peace and
prosperity
which Daniel documents
in Dan. 11:24.
Thus,
the entire premise upon which the any-moment rapture theory is based,
i.e.
that the great tribulation of the spurious messiah is a time of physical
pain and affliction,
is
without foundation.
That
is why Paul said that Christians need the spiritual protection of the Gospel
Armor (His Word)
to
stand against the fiery darts of the Dragon,
the
wicked one (Eph. 6),
not
some transport beam to take them to the fluffy clouds to save their flesh
butts!
How many times have
we documented
that even the great
famine of the end times is not physical,
i.e. for bread, but
"for the hearing of the Word of God (Amos 8:11)".
You
see, the spiritual
destruction of your soul
is
far more devastating and serious than any band of actual locusts,
i.e.
the insects themselves, could do to your flesh body!
Surely you can understand that?
That is why Christ said
do not even be concerned about those who can kill your flesh body
for all flesh is temporary
anyway!
You be concerned about your soul!
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
????????
Will
you be the first
woman taken in the field by the spurious,
magnificent,
miracle performing, good looking,
charismatic
supernatural archangel (Apollyon)
who
comes claiming to be Jesus at the sound of the 6th Trump,
or
????????
will
you wait (endure unto to the end)
until
Jesus Christ Himself returns at the sound of 7th Trump?
In
other words, will you be a spiritually chaste virgin
and
"barren" when Christ returns,
or
will you be found to be nursing a child having been spiritually
"swept off your feet"
and
impregnated with the rapturous deception
of
the first Jesus who so easily "took you to wife"?
Luke 23:29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.Luke 21:23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
Would you be happy if you went away and returned to find your bride to be nursing a baby!
You'd probably say something
like,
"Why
you whore! Get away from me, I never knew you!"
(Read Matthew 7:21-23)
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
