We, as true Christians know that God's WORD will be fulfilled to the letter, and no man will change His ultimate plan for man and his destiny.
We are about to close the books on this year in which has seen many heartaches in not only our lives but in our nation as well. The heartaches of seeing a government collapsing from within and all around, government leaders that put more value in the riches of this world then in their own integrity. Leaders who would lie, cheat and steal for their own welfare then to be concerned for the welfare of the people they were elected to serve.
Sadly, the vast majority of men will search for the truth all their lives and when they do hear the truth they quickly deny the truth as being nothing but lies; therefore when they do hear lies they accept them as being the truth...
I have very little doubts in my mind that there will be many more heartaches this coming year than all my previous 67 years combined for God has shown me many things and that our days are numbered. Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets (Amos 3:7).
God has given man the gift of eternal life through the precious Blood of the Lamb, His Son, Yeshua, our LORD, Savior and Redeemer and the knowledge of this truth is not hidden, it is revealed unto us in His WORD through the Holy Spirit that all should know the truth, to be set free from their sins, to began a new life..

Read Revelation 14-16
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads (Revelation 14;1). And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb (Revelation 14:9-10).
As this world draws to a close, mankind will be stripped of all pretenses. No longer will there be a "middle ground;" the time for conversation and debate will be over. We will all bear the mark of our chosen master, and we will all reap the rewards of the path that we have followed. Blessed will be those that have their Father's name written in their foreheads, while cursed indeed will be all that have chosen to bear the mark of the beast. The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.
The subject of the torments of hell is shunned in many of today's churches. Christian culture pushes the image of benevolent, genteel, grandfatherly God - a God who loves and accepts everyone for who they are, without question, condemnation, or judgment. The God that is shared from man pulpits each week is often portrayed as turning a blind eye to sin, as long as the sinner's "heart is in the right place." The problem with this philosophy is as simple as it is horrifying; even as we claim to speak in the Name of Jesus, our words and actions are pushing people deeper into the clutches of Satan by allowing them to think that they can live in any manner that they choose as long as they "claim" the protection of Christ.
Giving one's life to Christ is a conscious choice that requires a sincere personal commitment. It is IMPOSSIBLE to be a servant of Christ and a slave to the world at the same time. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (Matthew 6:24). If we claim to know God, yet our first loyalty still lies to ourselves and our earthly needs and wants, then we are lying to ourselves, Jesus said: He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal (John 12:25). If we decide to protect and defend our earthly way of life above all else, then we are choosing to take on the mark of the beast. If this is the path that we take, then we need to fully understand what will be waiting for us at the end of it.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death (Revelation 21:7-8).
Thought for Today: Modern philosophy popularizes the notion that there are many different paths a person can walk through life. In reality there are only two - the one to Heaven and the one to Hell.
