The Holy Bible and YOU



For me, when I read The Holy Bible, God reveals what He wants me to know or learn, at that time, from that particular Book or Chapter or Verse. If each of Us (Believers), sat down, and read from The Holy Bible, the same Book or Chapter or Verse, He would not reveal the same thing, to any two of Us.   
(I’m not talking about the written words, I’m talking about what God reveals to YOU, in your heart, Spirit and Soul).  We each are on different "paths" (i.e. different Walks in Our Christian Life).  We are individuals, that God will use, His Specific Way.  We are not "cookie cut" Believers. Maturity in Christ, is an Individual Walk.  The Holy Bible tells Us, so much and while reading it, God speaks to Us, telling Us, what He wants Us to know or learn, at that moment. Also, Jesus speaks to Us, and works with Us, through The Holy Spirit, if We simply are willing to listen.  This also means, that We can read a particular Book or Chapter or Verse, Today, and God will reveal to Us, what He wants Us to know, at that moment.  Then six weeks or six months later, We can again read that particular Book or Chapter or Verse, and this time, He would reveal to Us, something different (what He wants Us to know, at that moment).  This is why, We should read and reread The Holy Bible.  Have YOU ever sat down with The Holy Bible, and started reading a Book or Chapter or Verse, and had a “ah ha” moment?  Thinking “oh, that’s what it means”.  That’s what God and Jesus, Love to hear, from YOU.  What do YOU think a “Bible Commentary” is?  Well the definition of a “commentary” is: a set of explanatory or critical notes on a text.  Which basically means, someone read a particular Book or Chapter or Verse, of The Holy Bible, and God revealed to that person, what He wanted, that person, to know, at that particular time.  Then that person, wrote down (put into words), precisely what God wanted, that person, to know at that time.  Does this mean that Bible Commentaries are not useful, of course not, it may give the reader, an idea of what is meant.  However, that reader should, in turn, read the Book or Chapter or Verse, for themselves, and see what God reveals to them, Himself.  God reveals more to YOU, as a Believer, Child of God, than YOU may ever know or understand, but it sure is exhilarating, when YOU have your Spiritual Eyes opened by Him.

A Simple Plan



A simplistic way to look at Jesus’ Life: A Man who spent His Life, walking from town to town, neighborhood to neighborhood, house to house even, simply to cure, whatever the “mortal body” needed healing.  Also, Jesus told people, the cold hard facts, what they were doing correctly through God (His Father’s) Eyes, and more importantly what they were doing wrongHe also, was brave enough, to stand up, to All Church Leaders, and rebuke them for not teaching people correctly.  With the nerve to tell them, that God, Himself, will hold them accountable, for what they did and didn’t do.

Think about that for a moment.  Jesus woke up, each day, and spent the day, talking to people, about His Father’s Kingdom.  To prove His point, He performed Miracles, which only He could and did do.  The point of these Miracles, were not simply to do it, but a visual example, a drop in the bucket, if you will, of The Awesome Power of The Lord God Almighty.  He knew the People would never listen and Believe Him, with only His Words, unfortunately.  His Point was that His Father, God, had much Greater Plans, for Man, than what exists in this Lifetime.  Again, think about that for a moment. 

Your Spirit, what makes YOU, YOU, will last for Eternity.  Which means when YOU die, your actual Spirit, lives on.  The only question, YOU have to answer is, where will that be?
Jesus spent His entire Mortal Life, trying to explain this to the People of His Time.
So, what if We put all talk aside, and asked each person, this simple question:
Since Your Spirit will last for All Eternity, where do YOU, want that to be? 
In God’s Presence or Out of God’s Presence?

The Holy Bible, makes this clear, it’s only One Choice, YOU either choose to spend Eternity with God or YOU don’t.

As Disciples of The Living Jesus Christ, and Children of The Living God, We are tasked with sharing this knowledge, with every single person on God’s Earth.

We are charged with sharing the News of God’s Free Gift of Salvation, with The World.
We cannot make YOU choose or do anything, God will place the answer upon your heart.  This is a decision, only YOU can make.  YOU either choose God’s Free Gift of Salvation or YOU choose not to accept it.  Where YOU will spend Eternity depends on it.

So, here is a projected plan:
We, Believers, simply go from town to town, neighborhood to neighborhood, house to house. 
Asking this simple question, “Where do YOU choose to spend Eternity?”
(No “Bible thumping”, no “Preaching”)
Just please answer the question.
A.   If they say “in God’s Presence”, ask them if they already know it, for certain
B.   If they say “in God’s Presence” and don’t know how, show them how
C.   If they say anything else, simply say, thank YOU, for your time

Jesus walked around telling people, what to look forward to, for EternityHe knew things of this World, will not be with Us, in the next, for this World and everything in it, shall pass away.
What We are to do in this Lifetime, is to show God’s Love and Jesus Christ’s Love to All of Mankind.  Do YOU think this could work?

The Goal, is to get every single person, who wants to be "in God's Presence", for Eternity, to have that assurance, that guarantee!
 

What "C" is meant to mean, if they say, they do NOT wish to know, how to be "in God's Presence" for Eternity, then YOU say, "Well, thank YOU, for your time, take care and God Bless YOU"

The first two responses, are truly what I would Love to hear, because that's why We are asking the question. "C" was meant for those, who say they "already know", but are NOT Christian, they may be of another religion, entirely, or they may believe their faith, tells them otherwise or what they need to know. "C" is basically to cover, anyone who does NOT want to know, what We wish to share.

The Seven Angels With The Seven Bowls Of Judgment

Then I saw another Sign in Heaven, Great and Marvelous
Seven Angels and The Seven Last Plagues, which I will discuss
For in Them, The Wrath of God is Complete, truly God’s Desire
And I saw something, like a sea of glass, mingled with fire
And Those who have The Victory, over the beast, and his image
Over his mark, over the number of his name, what knowledge
Standing on The Sea of Glass, having Harps of God, in their hands
They sing The Song of Moses, The Servant of God, Faith demands
And The Song of The Lamb, for Our Praise, YOU are Truly Worthy
For Great and Marvelous are Your Works, O Lord God Almighty
Just and True are Your Ways, O King of The Saints, We Worship YOU
Who shall not fear YOU, O Lord, and Glorify Your Name, We do
YOU alone are Holy, All Nations shall come Worship before YOU
Your Judgments have been Manifested, We humbly bow to YOU
Then I looked, and behold, The Temple of The Tabernacle
Of The Testimony in Heaven, and out of The Temple
Seven Angels with The Seven Plagues, clothed in pure white linen
Having their chests girded with Golden Bands, and as this was done
One of The Four Living Creatures, gave to The Seven Angels
Seven Golden Bowls, Full of The Wrath of God, Oh the perils
The Temple filled with smoke, from The Glory of God Almighty
From His Power, and no one could enter The Temple, YOU see
Till The Seven Plagues of The Seven Angels were Complete
Then I heard a loud Voice, from The Temple, not one Man would greet
Say to The Seven Angels, to bring the Seven Plagues, to The Earth
Go and pour out, The Bowls of The Wrath of God, upon The Earth
So, the First Angel, went and poured out, His Bowl upon the Earth
And a foul, loathsome sore, came upon certain Men of the Earth
Who had the mark of the beast, who worshiped his image, not me
And then The Second Angel, poured out His Bowl, upon the Sea
It became blood, and killed every living creature, in the Sea
The Third Angel, poured out His Bowl, on rivers and springs, let’s see
They became blood, and I heard The Angel of the waters say
YOU are Righteous, O Lord, because YOU have Judged these things, this day
The One Who is, and Who was, and Who is to Forever be
For they have shed The Blood of Saints and Prophets, and they shall see
And YOU have given them, blood to drink, for it is their just due
I heard another Voice from The Altar, and His words rang true
Saying, Lord God Almighty, True and Righteous is Your Judgment
Then The Fourth Angel, poured out His Bowl on the Sun, with consent
Power was given to Him, to scorch men with fire, from God
Men were scorched, with great heat, and they blasphemed, The Name of God
Who has Power, over these Plagues, but they still did not Repent
They failed to give Him Glory, yet wonder why these Plagues were sent
Then The Fifth Angel, poured out His Bowl, on the throne of the beast
His kingdom became full of darkness, the kingdom of the beast
They gnawed their tongues, because of the pain, again they blasphemed
The God of Heaven, because of their pains and their sores, they screamed
Yet they did not Repent, of their deeds, does the beast hear their pleas
The Sixth Angel, poured out His Bowl, on the river Euphrates
Its waters were dried up, that the way, of the kings from the East
I saw three unclean spirits, like frogs, coming out of the beast
I saw them coming out of the mouth of the dragon, the beast
Out of the mouth of the beast, and of the false prophet, released
For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out
So, to the kings of the Earth, and of the Whole World, they go out
To gather, to battle, on The Great Day of God Almighty
I Am Coming, as a thief, Blessed is he who watches for me
Who keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame
They gathered, at the place called Armageddon, its Hebrew name
The Seventh Angel, poured out His Bowl, into the air, and then
And A loud Voice, came ringing out of The Temple of Heaven
From The Throne, saying, It is done, and there were noises, I heard
Thunderings and Lightnings, and a Great Earthquake, had just occurred
An Earthquake, unlike any before, since Man was Created
Now The Great City, into three parts, was therefore divided
And the cities of the nations fell, and The Great Babylon
Was remembered before God, to give her the cup of wine drawn
To give her, the cup of the wine, of the fierceness of His Wrath
Then every island fled away, the mountains weren’t found, God’s Wrath
Great Hail from Heaven, fell on Men, and each stone’s weight, a talent
Men blasphemed God, because of The Plague of the hail was sent
These were things shown to me, things God wanted me, to share with YOU
I describe what I am shown, so that they may be known to YOU

The Seventh Seal And The Seven Angels With Trumpets

The Lamb opened The Seventh Seal, there was silence in Heaven
I saw The Seven Angels in God’s Presence, They were given
Seven Trumpets, another Angel with a Golden Censer
And He was given much incense, as He stood at The Altar
With The Prayers of All The Saints, offer it upon The Altar
The Golden Altar, which was before The Throne, of The Father
The smoke of the incense, with The Prayers of The Saints, ascended
Before God, from the Angel’s Hand, just as God had intended
The Angel, took The Censer, filled with fire, from The Altar
Yes, that’s right, He filled it with fire from The Golden Altar
The Angel threw The Censer, to the Earth, noises filled the air
Cracks of Thunder, flashes of Lightening, an Earthquake, time for prayer
The Seven Angels, with The Seven Trumpets, prepared to sound
The First Angel blew The Trumpet, I can still recall its sound
Hail and Fire followed, mingled with blood, thrown down to the World
A third of the trees, and all green grass, burned up, by what was hurled
The Second Angel’s Trumpet sounded, its result still haunts me
What looked like a great fiery mountain, thrown into the Sea
A third of the Sea became blood, death and damage, its result
A third of the living creatures in the Sea died, was it their fault
A third of the ships, on the Sea, were destroyed, what of its Men
The Third Angel’s Trumpet sounded, a Great Star fell from Heaven
On a third of the rivers and the springs of water, it fell
The name of the Star is Wormwood, like the bitter herb, do tell
A third of the waters, became bitter, many Men perished
Because the water was made bitter, poisoned, were they punished
The Fourth Angel’s Trumpet sounded, a third of Heaven was struck
A third of the Sun, third of the Moon, a third of the Stars, struck
A third of the Stars, were struck, so that the light in them, went dark
A third of the Night, no moonlight, a third of the Day, was dark
I looked and heard, through the midst of Heaven, an Angel flying
Woe to the People of Earth, with a loud Voice, it was saying
Because the Angel knew, what the next three Trumpet blasts would bring
The Fifth Angel’s Trumpet sounded, I wondered what this would bring
A Star fell from Heaven to Earth, to him was given The Key
The Key to The Bottomless Pit, he opened it, before me
And smoke, like that of a great furnace, arose out of The Pit
The Sun and the air were darkened, due to the smoke of The Pit
Out of the smoke, Locusts came upon the Earth, at that hour
They were given power, like scorpions of Earth have power
The Locusts were commanded, not to harm the grass of the Earth
Any green thing, nor any tree, only certain Men on Earth
Only Men, who didn’t have The Seal of God, on their forehead
Which should fill the hearts, of the rest, with a sense of instant dread
They weren’t given Authority to kill them, but to Torment
And for five months, their Torment, was like a scorpion’s torment
In those days, Men will seek death, but won’t find it, they’ll want to die
Death, itself, will flee from them, only God Almighty knows why
The shape of the Locusts, was like horses prepared for battle
On their heads were crowns of something like gold, not being boastful
With faces like the faces of men, and hair like women’s hair
Their teeth were like lions’ teeth, and breastplates like iron to wear
The sound of their wings, like chariots, running into battle
They had tails, like scorpions, with stings in their tails, be careful
Their Power was to hurt men five months, and they had as their King
Yes, the Angel of The Bottomless Pit, they had as their King
Whose name, in Hebrew, is Abaddon, in Greek, it’s Apollyon
One woe is past, behold, two more woes to come before it’s done
The Sixth Angel’s Trumpet sounded, and I heard a Voice ring out
From The Four Horns of the Golden Altar before God, no doubt
Saying to The Sixth Angel, free The Four Angels, who are bound
At the great river Euphrates, I’ll never forget their sound
The Four Angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day
Month and year, were released, to kill a third of Mankind, that day
The number, of the Army of Horsemen, two hundred million
I heard their number, and I saw the horses in The Vision
The Horsemen had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue
And sulfur yellow, the heads of the horses, were a sight, too
They were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire
Yes, that’s right, out of their horses mouths, came smoke, brimstone and fire
By these three Plagues, a third of Mankind was killed, some by the fire
Some by the smoke, others by the brimstone, was this God’s desire
For their Power, is in their mouth, and their painful tails, as well
For their tails are like serpents, and with them they do harm, too well
The rest of Mankind, who weren’t killed, by these plagues, did not repent
From the works of their hands, and accept the Savior who was sent
They should not worship demons, who are always, up to no good
Not to worship their idols of gold, silver, brass, stone and wood
Idols can neither see, hear, nor walk, how can they hear their pleas
And they did not repent of their murders, or their sorceries
Nor repent their thefts or their sexual immorality
I wonder, if they would repent, if they could see, what I see
I saw another Mighty Angel, coming down from Heaven
Clothed with a cloud, Rainbow on his head, his face was like the Sun
Feet like pillars of fire, an open little book, in hand
He set his right foot on the Sea, and his left foot on the land
He cried out, as when a lion roars, then I heard several voices
When The Angel cried out, Seven Thunders, uttered their voices
I was about to write, but I heard a Voice from Heaven say
To seal up the things, which YOU have heard, the Seven Thunders say
Seal them up, and do not write them down, is what was said to me
The Angel, who I saw standing on the land, and on the Sea
The Angel raised up his hand, swore by Him, who lives in Heaven
He who lives forever, Creator of All things in Heaven
The Creator of the Earth and the Sea, and All Things in it
That there should be delay no longer, just what was meant by it
In the days of The Sounding of the Seventh Angel, I’m told
When he is about to sound, I’m listening to what I’m told
That The Mystery of God, would be finished, as He declared
To His Servants, The Prophets, whose Eternal Lives, would be spared
And then the Voice, which I heard from Heaven, spoke again to me
Get the Little Book, from the Angel, standing on Earth and Sea
I went to the Angel, and asked, give the little book to me
Take and eat it, it will turn bitter, is what He says to me
It will make my stomachache, but in my mouth, sweet as honey
I took it and ate it, in my mouth, it was sweet as honey
My stomach was bitter, as He predicted, but I didn’t die
About many Peoples, Nations, Tongues, Kings, YOU must Prophesy
The Seventh Angel’s Trumpet sounded, then I hear in Heaven
“The Kingdoms of Earth, become Kingdoms of Our Lord in Heaven”
“And of Jesus Christ, and He shall Reign, Forever and ever”
And The Twenty-four Elders, who sat before God, would answer
They stepped off Their Thrones, fell on Their Faces and They Worshiped God
“We give YOU Thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One Who is God”
“Because YOU have taken Your Great Power and Reigned, Mightily”
“Your Wrath has come, the time of the dead, the nations were angry”
“That they’ll be Judged, and YOU Reward The Prophets, Your Servants”
“And The Saints, and those who fear Your Name, small and great, as He grants”
“And should destroy those, who destroy the Earth”, Your Glory We sing
Then The Temple of God, was opened in Heaven, amazing
The Ark of His Covenant was seen in His Temple, no tale
There were Lightnings, Noises, Thunderings, an Earthquake, and Great Hail
These things I have been shown, are quite terrifying to behold
I’m a Fellow Servant of The Lord, revealing what I’m told
