The Queen Of Heaven, NOT

Judges 3:5-8

Thus The Children of Israel DWELT Among The Canaanites, The Hittites, The Amorites, The Perizzites, The Hivites, AND The Jebusites.  And They (The Children of Israel) TOOK Their Daughters TO BE Their Wives, AND GAVE Their Daughters TO Their Sons; AND They SERVED Their gods.  So, The Children of Israel DID Evil IN The SIGHT OF The LORD (GOD Almighty).  They (The Children of Israel) FORGOT The LORD Their GOD, AND Served The Baals AND Asherahs.  Therefore, The ANGER OF The LORD WAS HOT AGAINST Israel, AND He SOLD Them INTO The Hand of Cushan-Rishathaim, King of Mesopotamia; AND The Children of Israel Served Cushan-Rishathaim Eight (8) Years.

1 Kings 15:11-13

Asa DID What WAS RIGHT IN The EYES OF The LORD (GOD Almighty), AS DID His father, David.  And He (Asa) BANISHED the perverted persons FROM The Land, AND REMOVED All the idols that His fathers had made.  Also He (Asa) REMOVED Maachah, His Grandmother, from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah.  And Asa CUT DOWN her obscene image AND BURNED IT, by The Brook Kidron.

[See also: 2 Chronicles 15:16]

1 Kings 18:17-19

Then it happened, When Ahab SAW Elijah, that Ahab said to Him (Elijah), “Is that YOU, O Troubler of Israel?”  And He (Elijah) answered, “I Have NOT Troubled Israel, BUT YOU (Ahab) AND Your father’s House HAVE, IN That YOU Have FORSAKEN The Commandments OF The LORD (GOD Almighty) AND Have Followed The Baals.  Now therefore, Send AND Gather All Israel TO Me (Elijah) ON Mount Carmel, The Four Hundred and Fifty (450) Prophets of Baal, AND The Four Hundred (400) Prophets of Asherah, Who EAT AT Jezebel’s Table.”

2 Kings 21:7

He (Manasseh) EVEN SET A CARVED IMAGE of Asherah that He had made, IN The HOUSE OF Which The LORD (GOD Almighty) Had SAID TO David AND TO Solomon, His (David’s) Son, “IN THIS HOUSE AND IN Jerusalem, Which I Have CHOSEN OUT OF All The Tribes OF Israel, I WILL PUT My Name Forever.

2 Kings 23:4

And The King (Josiah) Commanded Hilkiah, The High Priest, The Priests of The Second Order, AND The Doorkeepers, TO BRING OUT OF The TEMPLE OF The LORD (GOD Almighty) All The Articles that were made for Baal, for Asherah, and for All The Host of Heaven; and He (King Josiah) BURNED them, OUTSIDE Jerusalem, IN The Fields of Kidron, AND carried their ashes to Bethel.

Jeremiah 7:18

The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and They pour out drink offerings to other gods, that They (The Children of Israel) May PROVOKE Me (GOD Almighty) TO ANGER.

Jeremiah 44:17-19, 25

But We will certainly do whatever has gone out of Our Own Mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her, as We have done, We and Our fathers, Our Kings and Our Princes, IN The Cities of Judah and IN The Streets of Jerusalem.  For Then, We had plenty of food, were well-off, and saw NO trouble.  BUT since We stopped burning incense to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, We have Lacked EVERYTHING and Have Been CONSUMED BY The Sword and BY Famine.”  The women also said, “And when We burned incense to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, did We make cakes for her, to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her WITHOUT Our Husbands’ Permission?”

THUS SAYS The LORD OF HOSTS, The GOD OF Israel, SAYING: ‘YOU and Your Wives have spoken with Your Mouths and fulfilled with Your Hands, saying, “We will surely keep Our Vows that We have made, to burn incense to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her.”  YOU will surely keep Your Vows and perform Your Vows!’

Acts 19:35

And when The City Clerk had quieted the crowd, he said: “Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does NOT know that The City of The Ephesians IS Temple Guardian OF The Great Goddess Diana, AND OF The IMAGE, Which FELL DOWN FROM Zeus?”

Fellow Believers, AS We All KNOW, there is NO queen of heaven, but she is a FALSE god, BROUGHT INTO The Knowledge of The Children OF Israel, When They INTERMIXED WITH Other Nations AND Began to follow, These Other Nations, Pagan Beliefs in other gods.

Exodus 20:1-5b

And GOD (GOD Almighty) SPOKE All These WORDS, SAYING: “I AM The LORD Your GOD, Who BROUGHT YOU OUT OF The Land of Egypt, OUT OF The House of Bondage.  YOU Shall Have NO other gods BEFORE Me.”

“YOU Shall NOT Make For Yourself A Carved Image, ANY LIKENESS OF ANYTHING, That IS IN Heaven ABOVE, OR That IS IN The Earth BENEATH, OR That IS IN The Water UNDER The Earth; YOU Shall NOT Bow Down TO Them NOR Serve Them.  FOR I, The LORD Your GOD, AM A JEALOUS GOD.”

[See also: Deuteronomy 5:6-9b]

Leviticus 26:1

“YOU Shall NOT Make Idols For Yourselves; NEITHER A Carved Image NOR A Sacred Pillar Shall YOU Rear Up For Yourselves; NOR Shall YOU Set Up an Engraved Stone in Your Land, TO Bow Down TO IT; FOR I AM The LORD Your GOD.”

Fellow Believers, We KNOW THERE IS BUT One GOD, GOD Almighty, AND That His ONE AND ONLY Son, IS Jesus Christ, AND That Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit, AND That The Holy Bible IS The ONLY TEXT OF GOD Almighty’s WORD, IN Written Form (GOD Almighty Breathed AND God Almighty Inspired) AND IS The Absolute TRUTH, AND We KNOW We WILL BE IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, AND All The Rest of The Children OF GOD Almighty, For Eternity, Forever.

Finally Remember, The Being Caught Up Together May Occur IN The Next Millisecond, So, there is NO Time to waste, GET OUT There, Show YOU Care, AND Share The Gospel OF Jesus Christ!

Four Duties Of End Times Living

1 Peter 4:1-5

Therefore, SINCE Christ SUFFERED FOR Us (Believers), IN The Flesh (The Natural Body), ARM Yourselves ALSO WITH The SAME MIND, For He (Believers) Who Has SUFFERED, IN The Flesh (The Natural Body), Has CEASED FROM sin (THROUGH Satan), That He (Believers) NO Longer Should Live The Rest of His Time, IN The Flesh, For The Lusts of Men (THROUGH Satan), BUT FOR The WILL OF GOD (GOD Almighty).

For We (Believers) Have Spent Enough OF Our PAST Lifetime, IN DOING The Will OF The Gentiles (Unbelievers), When We WALKED (THROUGH Satan) IN Lewdness, Lusts, Drunkenness, Revelries, Drinking Parties, AND Abominable Idolatries.  In Regard TO These (Unbelievers), They (Unbelievers) think it strange, That YOU (Believers) Do NOT Run WITH Them (Unbelievers), IN The Same Flood OF Dissipation (Debauchery), Speaking Evil OF YOU (Believers).  They (Unbelievers) WILL GIVE AN ACCOUNT TO Him (Jesus Christ) Who IS READY TO JUDGE The Living AND The Dead.

Revelation 20:11-15

Then, I (John) SAW A GREAT WHITE THRONE and Him Who SAT ON IT, FROM Whose FACE, The Earth AND The Heaven FLED AWAY.  And THERE WAS FOUND NO Place For Them (The Earth and The Heaven).  And I (John) SAW The Dead, Small and Great, STANDING BEFORE GOD (GOD Almighty), and BOOKS WERE OPENED. And Another BOOK WAS OPENED, Which IS The BOOK OF LIFE.  And The Dead WERE JUDGED According TO Their Works, BY The Things, Which WERE WRITTEN IN The BOOKS.  The Sea GAVE UP The Dead Who WERE IN IT (The Sea), and Death AND Hades DELIVERED UP The Dead Who WERE IN Them (Death and Hades).  And They (The Dead) WERE JUDGED, EACH ONE According TO His Works.  THEN Death AND Hades WERE CAST INTO The LAKE OF FIRE.  THIS IS The SECOND DEATH.  And ANYONE (Unbelievers) NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN The BOOK OF LIFE, WAS CAST INTO The LAKE OF FIRE (The Second Death).

1 Peter 4:6-11

For THIS REASON, The Gospel (The Gospel OF Jesus Christ) WAS PREACHED ALSO TO Those (Believers) Who ARE Dead (The Dead IN Christ), That They (Believers) Might BE JUDGED According TO Men, IN The Flesh (IN The Fleshly Realm), BUT LIVE According TO GOD, IN The Spirit (IN The Spiritual Realm).

BUT The END OF All Things IS AT HAND; Therefore, BE SERIOUS AND WATCHFUL IN Your Prayers.  And ABOVE All Things, Have FERVENT LOVE For One Another (Believers), For “LOVE WILL COVER A Multitude of sins.”  BE Hospitable TO One Another (Believers) WITHOUT Grumbling.  AS EACH One (Believers) Has RECEIVED A GIFT (Spiritual Gift), MINISTER IT TO One Another (Believers), AS GOOD STEWARDS OF The MANIFOLD GRACE OF GOD.  IF ANYONE (Believers) SPEAKS, Let Him SPEAK AS The ORACLES OF GOD.  IF ANYONE (Believers) MINISTERS, Let Him DO IT, AS WITH The ABILITY Which GOD SUPPLIES, That IN All Things GOD May BE GLORIFIED, THROUGH Jesus Christ, TO Whom BELONG The GLORY AND The Dominion Forever and ever.  Amen.

2 Peter 3:9

The LORD (GOD Almighty) IS NOT SLACK, CONCERNING His PROMISE, as some count slackness, BUT IS Longsuffering TOWARD Us (Mankind), NOT WILLING That ANY Should PERISH, BUT That ALL (Mankind) Should COME TO REPENTANCE.

Romans 8:35, 37-39

Who Shall SEPARATE Us (Believers) FROM The LOVE OF Christ?  Shall Tribulation, OR Distress, OR Persecution, OR Famine, OR Nakedness, OR Peril, OR Sword?   Yet IN All These Things, We ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS, THROUGH Him, Who LOVED Us.  For I AM Persuaded That NEITHER Death NOR Life, NOR Angels NOR Principalities NOR Powers, NOR Things PRESENT NOR Things TO COME, NOR Height NOR Depth, NOR ANY OTHER CREATED THING, Shall BE ABLE TO SEPARATE Us FROM The LOVE OF GOD, Which IS IN Christ Jesus Our LORD.

Acts 17:10-12a

Then The Brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea.  When They (Paul and Silas) arrived, They (Paul and Silas) went into The Synagogue of The Jews.  These (The Bereans) WERE MORE Fair-Minded, than Those IN Thessalonica, IN THAT They (The Bereans) RECEIVED The WORD (The Gospel OF Jesus Christ) WITH All READINESS, AND SEARCHED The SCRIPTURES, DAILY, TO FIND OUT Whether These Things WERE SO.  Therefore, Many of Them (The Bereans) BELIEVED.

Fellow Believers, Please note, The Four Duties Peter Mentions TO Have, During These LAST Days, The End Times: BE SERIOUS AND WATCHFUL IN Your Prayers, Have FERVENT LOVE For One Another, BE Hospitable TO One Another, AND Finally, AS EACH One, Has RECEIVED A GIFT (Spiritual Gift), MINISTER IT TO One Another.

Now, Fellow Believers, I can tell you this, from personal experience, These Next Scriptures, as I read Them, Today, They Rang True for me, from My Own Personal Experience back in March 2013, and as I read These Scriptures Today, I said to myself, I actually experienced This Same Thing, Myself.

Acts 18:9-10a

Now, The LORD (Jesus Christ) SPOKE TO Paul IN The Night BY A VISION, “DO NOT BE AFRAID, BUT SPEAK, AND DO NOT KEEP SILENT; FOR I AM WITH YOU.”

I was an Introvert, BEFORE THIS (March 2013), and I felt I did NOT KNOW The Holy Bible, WELL ENOUGH, TO SPEAK TO Others.  Well, I have spent My Time, since then, reading and studying The Holy Bible, on a daily basis, LISTENING TO GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, AND The Holy Spirit, Along The Way.  I KNOW That Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Me, THROUGH The Holy Spirit, AND That GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Me.  I KNOW That The Holy Spirit IS My Teacher, My Counselor, and My Guide.  I KNOW That GOD Almighty SPEAKS TO My Heart, As I Read His WORDS, IN The Holy Bible, REVEALING TO Me Things He WANTS Me TO KNOW, AT That Point IN Time.  I KNOW That GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit, INFLUENCE Me, INTO USING My Spiritual Gifts, TO Share The Gospel OF Jesus Christ, WITH EVERYONE, Who Has Ears to HEAR AND Eyes to SEE, The TRUTH!  And I KNOW We (Believers) WILL BE IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, and All The Rest of The Children OF GOD Almighty, For Eternity, Forever!

Ephesians 6:10-18

Finally, My Brethren (Fellow Believers), BE STRONG IN The LORD (GOD Almighty) AND IN The POWER OF His MIGHT.  PUT ON The Whole ARMOR OF GOD (GOD Almighty), that YOU (Believers) May BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST The Wiles OF the devil (Satan).  For We (Believers) Do NOT Wrestle AGAINST Flesh and Blood (Mankind), BUT AGAINST Principalities, AGAINST Powers, AGAINST The Rulers of The DARKNESS of THIS AGE, AGAINST Spiritual Hosts OF Wickedness IN The Heavenly Places.  Therefore TAKE UP The Whole ARMOR OF GOD (GOD Almighty), that YOU (Believers) May BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND IN The EVIL DAY, and Having Done All, TO STAND.

STAND therefore, Having GIRDED Your Waist WITH Truth, Having PUT ON The BREASTPLATE OF Righteousness, AND Having SHOD Your Feet WITH The PREPARATION OF The Gospel OF Peace (The Gospel OF Jesus Christ); ABOVE ALL, TAKING The SHIELD OF Faith WITH Which YOU (Believers) Will BE ABLE TO QUENCH All The Fiery Darts OF The Wicked One (the devil/Satan).  And TAKE The HELMET OF Salvation, AND The SWORD OF The Spirit, Which IS The WORD (The Holy Bible) OF GOD (GOD Almighty); Praying Always WITH All Prayer AND Supplication IN The Spirit, BEING WATCHFUL TO THIS END, WITH All Perseverance AND Supplication, For ALL The Saints (Believers).

Revelation 3:10

Because YOU (Believers) have KEPT My (Jesus Christ’s) COMMAND TO Persevere, I (Jesus Christ) ALSO Will KEEP YOU (Believers) FROM The HOUR OF TRIAL (The Great Tribulation), Which Shall COME UPON The Whole World (Satan’s World), TO TEST Those (Unbelievers) Who Dwell ON The Earth.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

For The LORD (Jesus Christ), Himself, Will DESCEND FROM Heaven, WITH A SHOUT, WITH The Voice of an Archangel, and WITH The TRUMPET OF GOD (GOD Almighty).  And The Dead IN Christ (Dead Believers) Will RISE First.  THEN We (Living Believers) Who ARE ALIVE and REMAIN, Shall BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER, WITH Them (The Dead IN Christ), IN The Clouds, TO MEET The LORD (Jesus Christ) IN The AIR.  And Thus We (Believers) Shall ALWAYS BE WITH The LORD (Jesus Christ).

Fellow Believers, Remember Peter’s WORDS, “BE SERIOUS AND WATCHFUL IN Your Prayers, Have FERVENT LOVE For One Another, BE Hospitable TO One Another, AND Finally, AS EACH One, Has RECEIVED A GIFT (Spiritual Gift), MINISTER IT TO One Another.”

Finally Remember, The Being Caught Up Together May Occur IN The Next Millisecond, So, there is NO Time to waste, GET OUT There, Show YOU Care, AND Share The Gospel OF Jesus Christ!

Zechariah’s Visions

Zechariah 1:7-11

ON The Twenty-Fourth (24^th) Day of The Eleventh (11^th) Month, Which IS The Month Shebat, IN The Second (2^nd) Year of Darius, The WORD OF The LORD (GOD Almighty) CAME TO Zechariah, The Son of Berechiah, The Son of Iddo, The Prophet: I SAW by night, and Behold, A Man RIDING ON A Red Horse, and IT (The Red Horse) STOOD AMONG The Myrtle Trees IN The Hollow; and BEHIND Him (The Man on The Red Horse) WERE Horses: Red, Sorrel, and White.  Then I said, “My Lord, What ARE THESE?”  So, The Angel Who TALKED WITH Me SAID TO Me, “I WILL SHOW YOU What They ARE.”

And The Man Who STOOD AMONG The Myrtle Trees ANSWERED and SAID, “THESE ARE The Ones Whom The LORD Has SENT TO WALK TO AND FRO, THROUGHOUT The Earth.”  So, They ANSWERED The Angel OF The LORD, Who STOOD AMONG The Myrtle Trees, and SAID, “We Have WALKED TO AND FRO, THROUGHOUT The Earth, and Behold, All The Earth IS RESTING QUIETLY.”

Zechariah 1:18-21

Then I RAISED My Eyes and LOOKED, and THERE WERE Four (4) Horns.  And I said to The Angel Who TALKED WITH Me, “WHAT ARE THESE?”  So, He ANSWERED Me, “THESE ARE The (4) Horns That Have SCATTERED Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”  Then The LORD (GOD Almighty) SHOWED Me Four (4) CRAFTSMEN.  And I said, “WHAT ARE THESE COMING TO DO?”  So He SAID, “THESE ARE The (4) Horns That SCATTERED Judah, So That NO ONE Could LIFT UP His Head; BUT The (4) CRAFTSMEN ARE COMING TO TERRIFY Them, TO CAST OUT The Horns OF The Nations That LIFTED UP Their Horn AGAINST The Land OF Judah TO SCATTER IT.”

Zechariah 5:1-4

Then I TURNED and RAISED My Eyes, and SAW THERE A FLYING SCROLL.  And He SAID TO Me, “WHAT DO YOU SEE?”  So I answered, “I SEE A FLYING SCROLL.  Its Length IS Twenty (20) Cubits and Its Width Ten (10) Cubits.”  Then He SAID TO Me, “THIS IS The CURSE That GOES OUT OVER The Face OF The Whole Earth: ‘EVERY Thief Shall BE EXPELLED,’ According TO THIS SIDE OF The SCROLL; AND, ‘EVERY Perjurer Shall BE EXPELLED,’ According TO THAT SIDE OF IT.”  “I WILL SEND OUT The CURSE,” SAYS The LORD OF HOSTS; “It Shall ENTER The House OF The Thief AND The House OF The One Who SWEARS FALSELY, BY My Name.  It Shall REMAIN IN The Midst OF His House and CONSUME IT, with its timber and stones.”

Zechariah 5:5-11

Then The Angel Who TALKED WITH Me (Zechariah) CAME OUT and SAID TO Me, “LIFT Your Eyes NOW, and SEE What THIS IS that goes forth.”  So I asked, “What is it?”  And He (The Angel) said, “It is a BASKET that is going forth.”  He ALSO SAID, “THIS IS Their Resemblance (likeness) THROUGHOUT The Earth: HERE IS A LEAD DISC LIFTED UP, and THIS IS A Woman SITTING INSIDE The BASKET”; THEN He SAID, “THIS IS WICKEDNESS!”  And He THRUST Her DOWN INTO The BASKET, and THREW The LEAD COVER OVER ITS Mouth.  Then I Raised My Eyes and LOOKED, and There Were Two Women, COMING WITH The Wind IN Their Wings; For They Had Wings, LIKE The Wings of a Stork, and They LIFTED UP The BASKET BETWEEN Earth AND Heaven.  So I said to The Angel Who TALKED WITH Me, “Where Are They CARRYING The BASKET?”  And He SAID TO Me, “TO BUILD A HOUSE FOR IT, IN The Land of Shinar; WHEN IT IS READY, The BASKET WILL BE SET THERE ON ITS BASE.”

Zechariah 6:1-8

Then I (Zechariah) TURNED and RAISED My Eyes and LOOKED, and Behold, Four (4) Chariots WERE COMING FROM BETWEEN Two Mountains, and The Mountains were Mountains of Bronze.  With The First Chariot WERE Red Horses, WITH The Second Chariot Black Horses, WITH The Third Chariot White Horses, and WITH The Fourth Chariot Dappled Horses, Strong Steeds.  Then I answered and said to The Angel Who TALKED WITH Me, “What ARE These, My Lord?”

And The Angel ANSWERED and SAID TO Me, “THESE ARE Four SPIRITS OF Heaven, Who GO OUT FROM Their Station, BEFORE The LORD (GOD Almighty) OF All The Earth.  The One WITH The Black Horses IS GOING TO The North Country, The White ARE GOING AFTER Them (The Chariot with The Black Horses), AND The Dappled ARE GOING TOWARD The South Country.”

THEN The Strong Steeds WENT OUT, EAGER TO GO, That They Might WALK TO AND FRO, THROUGHOUT The Earth.  And He SAID, “GO, WALK TO AND FRO, THROUGHOUT The Earth.”  So, They WALKED TO AND FRO, THROUGHOUT The Earth.  And He CALLED TO Me, and SPOKE TO Me, SAYING, “SEE, Those Who GO TOWARD The North Country, Have GIVEN REST TO My Spirit IN The North Country.”

[See also: Zechariah 2:1-5, Zechariah 3:1-5, and Zechariah 4:1-14]

Fellow Believers for me, The Oddest Vision of Zechariah IS The Woman IN The Basket WITH The Lead Lid.  Zechariah states that The Woman Represents Wickedness, and THEN He states that Two Women, WITH Wings like a stork, and Wind IN Their Wings, Carry Off The Woman (Wickedness) IN The Basket (with The Lead Cover) TO The Land of Shinar, TO Build a House and TO SET IT On Its Base.

Luke’s Take ON The End Times

Luke 1:1-4

Inasmuch as Many Have TAKEN IN HAND, TO SET IN ORDER A Narrative OF Those Things, Which Have Been FULFILLED Among Us (Believers), JUST AS Those (Jesus’ Disciples) Who FROM The Beginning WERE EYEWITNESSES AND Ministers OF The WORD (The Gospel OF Jesus Christ) DELIVERED Them TO Us (Believers), IT SEEMED GOOD TO Me (Luke) ALSO, Having Had PERFECT UNDERSTANDING OF All Things FROM The Very First, TO WRITE TO YOU (Believers) AN ORDERLY ACCOUNT, Most Excellent Theophilus (GOD Lover), That YOU (Believers) May KNOW The CERTAINTY OF Those Things IN Which YOU (Believers) WERE INSTRUCTED.

Luke 17:22-24a, 30-37

Then He (Jesus Christ) SAID TO The Disciples, “The DAYS WILL COME WHEN YOU (Believers) WILL DESIRE TO SEE One OF The Days OF The Son OF Man, AND YOU WILL NOT SEE IT.  And They (FALSE Believers and Unbelievers) will say to YOU, ‘Look here!’ OR ‘Look there!’  DO NOT GO After Them OR Follow Them.  FOR AS The Lightning That FLASHES OUT OF One Part UNDER Heaven SHINES TO The Other Part UNDER Heaven, EVEN SO WILL IT BE IN The DAY, WHEN The Son OF Man (Jesus Christ) IS REVEALED.  “IN THAT DAY, He (Believers) Who IS ON The Housetop, AND His Goods ARE IN The House, Let Him NOT Come Down TO Take Them Away.  And LIKEWISE, The One (Believers) Who IS IN The Field, Let Him NOT TURN BACK.  REMEMBER Lot’s Wife.  WHOEVER (Believers) SEEKS TO SAVE His Life WILL LOSE IT, AND WHOEVER (Believers) LOSES His Life WILL PRESERVE IT.  I (Jesus Christ) TELL YOU, IN THAT NIGHT, There Will BE Two Men in one bed: The One (Believers) WILL BE TAKEN AND The Other (Unbelievers) WILL BE LEFT.  Two Women will be grinding together: The One (Believers) WILL BE TAKEN AND The Other (Unbelievers) LEFT.  Two Men will be in the field: The One (Believers) WILL BE TAKEN AND The Other (Unbelievers) LEFT.”  And They answered and said to Him, “Where, LORD?”  So He SAID TO Them, “WHEREVER The Body IS, THERE The Eagles WILL BE Gathered Together (Heaven).”

Luke 21:7-19

So They (Jesus’ Disciples) asked Him (Jesus Christ), SAYING, “Teacher, BUT When Will These Things BE?  And What SIGN Will There BE, When These Things Are About TO TAKE PLACE?”  And He SAID: “TAKE HEED That YOU NOT BE DECEIVED.  For Many Will Come IN My Name, saying, ‘I am He,’ AND, ‘The Time Has Drawn Near.’  Therefore, DO NOT GO After Them (FALSE Believers and Unbelievers).  BUT When YOU (Believers) HEAR of Wars and Commotions, Do NOT BE Terrified; For These Things MUST COME TO PASS First, BUT The END Will NOT Come Immediately.”

THEN He SAID TO Them (Jesus’ Disciples), “Nation WILL RISE AGAINST Nation, AND Kingdom AGAINST Kingdom.  And There WILL BE Great Earthquakes IN Various Places, AND Famines AND Pestilences; AND There WILL BE FEARFUL SIGHTS AND Great SIGNS FROM Heaven.  But BEFORE All These Things, They (Unbelievers) WILL LAY Their Hands ON YOU (Believers) AND PERSECUTE YOU, Delivering YOU up TO The Synagogues AND Prisons.  YOU WILL BE BROUGHT BEFORE Kings AND Rulers FOR My (Jesus Christ’s) Name’s Sake.  BUT IT WILL TURN OUT, FOR YOU, As An Occasion FOR TESTIMONY.  Therefore, SETTLE IT IN Your Hearts NOT To Meditate BEFOREHAND ON What YOU Will Answer; FOR I WILL GIVE YOU A Mouth AND Wisdom, Which All Your Adversaries Will NOT BE ABLE TO Contradict OR RESIST.  YOU WILL BE BETRAYED, EVEN By Parents AND Brothers, Relatives AND Friends; AND They WILL PUT Some OF YOU TO Death.  And YOU WILL BE HATED BY ALL, FOR My (Jesus Christ’s) Name’s Sake.  BUT NOT A Hair OF Your Head Shall BE LOST.  BY Your (Believers) Patience POSSESS Your Souls.”

Luke 21:20-24

“BUT WHEN YOU (Believers) SEE Jerusalem Surrounded BY Armies, THEN KNOW That Its (Jerusalem’s) DESOLATION IS NEAR.  THEN Let Those Who Are IN Judea FLEE to The Mountains, Let Those Who Are IN The Midst of Her (Jerusalem) DEPART, AND Let NOT Those Who Are IN The Country ENTER Her (Jerusalem).  FOR THESE ARE The DAYS OF VENGEANCE, That All Things, Which ARE WRITTEN May BE FULFILLED.  BUT WOE TO Those Who ARE Pregnant AND TO Those Who ARE Nursing Babies IN THOSE DAYS!  For There Will BE Great Distress IN The Land AND WRATH UPON THIS PEOPLE.  And They WILL FALL BY The Edge of The Sword, AND BE LED AWAY Captive INTO All Nations.  And Jerusalem WILL BE TRAMPLED BY Gentiles (Non-Jewish Men) UNTIL The TIMES OF The Gentiles ARE FULFILLED.”

Luke 21:25-28

“And There WILL BE SIGNS IN The Sun, IN The Moon, AND IN The Stars; AND ON The Earth DISTRESS OF Nations, WITH PERPLEXITY (Confusion), The Sea AND The Waves ROARING; Men’s (Unbelievers) Hearts FAILING Them (Dying) FROM FEAR AND The EXPECTATION OF Those Things, Which ARE COMING ON The Earth, FOR The Powers OF The Heavens WILL BE SHAKEN.  THEN They (Unbelievers) WILL SEE The Son of Man (Jesus Christ) COMING IN A Cloud WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY.  Now, WHEN These Things BEGIN TO HAPPEN, LOOK UP AND LIFT UP Your (Believers) Heads, BECAUSE Your (Believers) REDEMPTION DRAWS NEAR.”

Luke 21:29-33

Then He (Jesus Christ) SPOKE TO Them (Jesus’ Disciples) A Parable: “LOOK AT The Fig Tree (Israel), and All The Trees.  When They (All Trees) ARE ALREADY BUDDING, YOU (Believers) SEE AND KNOW, For Yourselves, That Summer IS Now NEAR.  So YOU (Believers) ALSO, WHEN YOU SEE These Things HAPPENING, KNOW That The Kingdom OF GOD (GOD Almighty) IS NEAR.  ASSUREDLY, I (Jesus Christ) SAY TO YOU (Believers), THIS Generation WILL BY NO MEANS, PASS AWAY, TILL All Things TAKE PLACE.  Heaven AND Earth WILL PASS AWAY, BUT My WORDS WILL BY NO MEANS PASS AWAY.”

Luke 21:34-36

“But TAKE HEED TO Yourselves (Believers), LEST Your Hearts BE Weighed Down WITH Carousing, Drunkenness, AND CARES OF THIS LIFE (The Natural Body), AND THAT DAY COME ON YOU, Unexpectedly.  FOR IT WILL COME, AS A SNARE, ON All Those (Unbelievers) Who Dwell ON The Face OF The Whole Earth.  WATCH Therefore, AND PRAY ALWAYS That YOU (Believers) May BE COUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE All These Things That WILL COME TO PASS, AND TO STAND BEFORE The Son of Man (Jesus Christ).”

Fellow Believers, COMPARE Matthew 24:3-44 AND Mark 13:3-36 TO Luke 21:7-38, while both Matthew and Mark Describe The Same Events, Luke Describes The Destruction OF Jerusalem AND The Importance of Watching.  A quick point of interest, The Gospel of Matthew was written by Matthew, while The Gospel of Mark was written by Mark (A Disciple of Peter) and The Gospel of Luke was written by Luke (A Disciple of Paul), ALSO, Luke wrote The Book of Acts, in fact, 28% of The New Testament was written by Luke.

1 Corinthians 15:50-53

Now THIS I (Believers) SAY, Brethren (Believers), that Flesh and Blood (The Natural Body) Can NOT INHERIT The Kingdom OF GOD (GOD Almighty); NOR Does Corruption (The Natural Body) INHERIT INCORRUPTION (The Kingdom OF GOD Almighty).  Behold, I TELL YOU (Believers) A Mystery: We (Believers) Shall NOT All Sleep (Die A Physical Death), BUT We (Believers) Shall All BE CHANGED (The Spiritual Body), IN A Moment, IN The Twinkling of an Eye, AT The Last TRUMPET.  For The TRUMPET Will Sound, and The Dead (Dead Believers) Will BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE (The Spiritual Body), AND We (Living Believers) Shall BE CHANGED (The Spiritual Body).  For THIS Corruptible (The Natural Body) MUST PUT ON INCORRUPTION (The Spiritual Body), and THIS Mortal (The Natural Body) MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY (The Spiritual Body).

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

For The LORD (Jesus Christ), Himself, Will DESCEND FROM Heaven, WITH A SHOUT, WITH The VOICE of an Archangel, and WITH The TRUMPET OF GOD (GOD Almighty).  And The Dead IN Christ (Dead Believers) Will RISE First.  THEN We (Living Believers) Who ARE ALIVE and REMAIN, Shall BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER, WITH Them (The Dead IN Christ), IN The Clouds, TO MEET The LORD (Jesus Christ) IN The AIR.  And Thus We (Believers) Shall ALWAYS BE WITH The LORD (Jesus Christ).

Remember, The Being Caught Up Together May Occur IN The Next Millisecond, So, there is NO Time to waste, GET OUT There, Show YOU Care, AND Share The Gospel OF Jesus Christ!

Believers, An Occasion For Testimony

Matthew 10:16-20

“Behold, I (Jesus Christ) SEND YOU (Believers) OUT AS Sheep IN The Midst OF Wolves (Unbelievers).  Therefore, BE WISE AS Serpents AND HARMLESS AS Doves.  BUT BEWARE OF Men (Unbelievers), For They (Unbelievers) WILL DELIVER YOU UP TO Councils AND SCOURGE YOU (Believers) IN Their (FALSE Believers and Unbelievers) Synagogues.  YOU WILL BE BROUGHT BEFORE Governors AND Kings FOR My (Jesus Christ’s) Sake, AS A TESTIMONY TO Them (Governors and Kings) AND TO The Gentiles (Non-Jewish People).  BUT WHEN They (FALSE Believers and Unbelievers) DELIVER YOU (Believers) UP, DO NOT Worry About HOW OR WHAT YOU Should SPEAK.  FOR IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU (Believers), IN THAT HOUR, What YOU Should SPEAK; FOR IT IS NOT YOU, Who SPEAK, BUT The Spirit (The Holy Spirit) OF Your Father (GOD Almighty), Who SPEAKS IN YOU (Believers).”

Mark 13:9-11

“But WATCH OUT For Yourselves (Believers), For They (Unbelievers) WILL DELIVER YOU (Believers) UP TO Councils, AND YOU WILL BE BEATEN IN The Synagogues.  YOU WILL BE BROUGHT BEFORE Rulers AND Kings FOR My (Jesus Christ’s) Sake, FOR A TESTIMONY TO Them (Rulers and Kings).  And The Gospel (The Gospel OF Jesus Christ) MUST FIRST BE PREACHED TO All The Nations.  BUT WHEN They (Unbelievers) ARREST YOU AND DELIVER YOU UP, DO NOT Worry BEFOREHAND, OR PREMEDITATE What YOU WILL SPEAK.  BUT WHATEVER IS GIVEN YOU, IN THAT HOUR, SPEAK THAT; FOR IT IS NOT YOU Who SPEAK, BUT The Holy Spirit.”

Luke 21:12-15

But BEFORE All These Things, They (Unbelievers) WILL LAY Their (Unbelievers) Hands ON YOU (Believers) AND PERSECUTE YOU, DELIVERING YOU UP TO The Synagogues AND Prisons.  YOU Will BE BROUGHT BEFORE Kings AND Rulers FOR My (Jesus Christ’s) Name’s Sake.  BUT IT WILL TURN OUT FOR YOU (Believers) AS AN OCCASION FOR TESTIMONY.  Therefore, SETTLE IT IN Your (Believers) Hearts NOT TO MEDITATE, BEFOREHAND, ON What YOU WILL ANSWER; FOR I (Jesus Christ) WILL GIVE YOU (Believers) A Mouth AND Wisdom, Which All Your Adversaries WILL NOT BE ABLE TO Contradict OR RESIST.

Fellow Believers, THIS DAY, can occur at ANY Time as you can see, so how do We Prepare For This Day?  Well, BY Reading Our Copy OF The Holy Bible; BY Communing WITH GOD Almighty, THROUGH Prayer; BY Fellowship WITH Fellow Believers; BY Realizing OR Remembering that Jesus Christ WALKS with Us, Always, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; BY Realizing OR Remembering that GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us, Always; AND Finally, BY PUTTING ON The Whole ARMOR OF GOD Almighty!

Fellow Believers, IN The Holy Bible (IN The New Testament), We SEE Several Examples of Jesus Christ’s Disciples BEING ARRESTED AND JAILED For Their Testimony, AND When They Are Brought Before Them (Unbelievers), The Holy Spirit SPEAKS THROUGH Them (Jesus Christ’s Disciples)!  May THIS Give YOU Confidence When YOU Find Yourself IN The Same Situation.  KNOW That The Holy Spirit WILL SPEAK, THROUGH YOU, AT That Point IN Time!  REMEMBER, Jesus Christ ABIDES WITH YOU, THROUGH The Holy Spirit, AND GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER YOU, ALWAYS!

KNOWING THIS Folks, THIS ALSO APPLIES TO Each AND EVERY Single Time, We Share The Gospel OF Jesus Christ WITH ANYONE (FALSE Believers, Yet-To-Be-Believers, Unbelievers, AND Believers), After All, AND I REITERATE, Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit, AND GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER US, Always, SO, We ARE NEVER ALONE, EVER!  We KNOW, We WILL BE IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, AND All The Rest OF The Children OF GOD Almighty, For Eternity, Forever!

Revelation 3:10

Because YOU (Believers) Have KEPT My (Jesus Christ’s) COMMAND TO Persevere, I (Jesus Christ) ALSO Will KEEP YOU (Believers) FROM The HOUR OF TRIAL (The Great Tribulation), Which Shall COME UPON The Whole World (Satan’s World), TO TEST Those (Unbelievers) Who Dwell ON The Earth.

1 Corinthians 15:50-53

Now THIS I (Believers) say, Brethren (Believers), that Flesh and Blood (The Natural Body) Can NOT INHERIT The Kingdom OF GOD (GOD Almighty); NOR Does Corruption (The Natural Body) INHERIT INCORRUPTION (The Kingdom OF GOD Almighty).  Behold, I TELL YOU (Believers) A Mystery: We (Believers) Shall NOT All Sleep (Die A Physical Death), BUT We (Believers) Shall All BE CHANGED (The Spiritual Body), IN A Moment, IN The Twinkling of an Eye, AT The Last TRUMPET.  For The TRUMPET Will Sound, and The Dead (Dead Believers) Will BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE (The Spiritual Body), AND We (Living Believers) Shall BE CHANGED (The Spiritual Body).  For THIS Corruptible (The Natural Body) MUST PUT ON INCORRUPTION (The Spiritual Body), and THIS Mortal (The Natural Body) MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY (The Spiritual Body).

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

For The LORD (Jesus Christ), Himself, Will DESCEND FROM Heaven, WITH A SHOUT, WITH The VOICE of an Archangel, and WITH The TRUMPET OF GOD (GOD Almighty).  And The Dead IN Christ (Dead Believers) Will RISE First.  THEN We (Living Believers) Who ARE ALIVE and REMAIN, Shall BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER, WITH Them (The Dead IN Christ), IN The Clouds, TO MEET The LORD (Jesus Christ) IN The AIR.  And Thus We (Believers) Shall ALWAYS BE WITH The LORD (Jesus Christ).

Remember, The Being Caught Up Together May Occur IN The Next Millisecond, So, there is NO Time to waste, GET OUT There, Show YOU Care, AND Share The Gospel OF Jesus Christ!
