Matthew 24: 37-39
Scriptures courtesy of Biblegateway.com
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
The Days of the Rule of the 10 Kings
of Revelation 17:12
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings,
which have received no kingdom as yet;
but
receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
The days of Noah are upon us.
The darkness of sin engulfs the world. Men's pride is hardening their hearts. Devilish controlling spirits are ruling over the entire globe ~ and men love to have it so.
The days ~ the season of human history ~ when men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil are upon us in full force.
The WORD of GOD says in THAT SEASON, men who love righteousness make themselves a target, Isaiah 59:15 , as in the days of Noah.
The WORD of GOD says in THAT SEASON, men who love righteousness make themselves a target, Isaiah 59:15 , as in the days of Noah.
Our LORD JESUS tells us this age will have the same character and consorts as Noah's age: hedonism to the extreme, base entertainment, lovers of pleasure , lovers of self, lovers of same-sort partners, lovers of wee children, and lovers of beasts... lovers of death.
Then comes the mingling of human seed with nephillim or animals and the lust for aborted LIVING babies as evil dreamers try to create life at the DNA basics in order to be in control of the universe.
The 10 Kings of Revelation 17 love to have it so and are NOW DIRECTING these activities across the globe, headed by the richest countries in the world.
Why ?
They wish to destroy GOD'S creation, to destroy the human race.
Why ?
They aim to destroy the human race BECAUSE through JESUS CHRIST, the human race has beaten satan, the nephillim, the fallen watchers .... AND THE 10 KINGS ! ... when humans obey The LORD JESUS CHRIST in every fiber of their being.
As a matter of fact, an obedient, faith-filled people who love The LORD JESUS more than their own life is the ONLY barrier that stands between satan and the destruction of the ENTIRE human race.
For, if left to itself, the human race will destroy itself.
If left to satan, the human race will be destroyed through lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.
If left to the 10 Kings of Revelation 17, the followers of the LORD JESUS CHRIST would be exterminated --- wiped off --- the face of the globe, along with their Jewish fore-bearers.
Then the wicked tenants/ husbandmen of the vineyard will think, after they have exterminated His+ Servants, the world will be theirs.
( This has been tried before. See Matthew 21. )
But... surprise, surprise !
What will the True Owner+ of the world do
to those wicked ones
when HE+ arrives
with His+ armies from Heaven ?
They all forgot one thing... one MAJOR fact:
All were created through HIM+
All were created for HIM+
and HIS+ good pleasure !
Yes, even the fallen angels, like mankind, were created by HIM+ and for His+ pleasure, to do HIS+ will.
O, what a fearful thing to fall into the Hands of the Living GOD... when in a state of rebellion against His+ Rule.
Let us pray:
CHRIST the KING+ ever reigns on High!
O Come, let us adore HIM+ !
O come, let us worship and fall down and kneel before The LORD our Maker... Our LORD, Who+ humbled Himself+ to take on a robe of flesh in order to rescue us from the slavery of sin, the slavery to satan.
We thank THEE+ O LORD for Thy+ great, well-planned deliverance through Thy+ Incarnation, set in motion from the fall of Adam, promised in the Garden to crush satan's head.
Bless GOD: FATHER, SON+, and HOLY SPIRIT!
And, blessed be HIS+ Kingdom,
now and forever,
world without end.
Amen.
