How Close

Its been preached for 2,000 years. The subject at hand has been broadcasted throughout everywhere and in every place. Its been in to many books to mention. Yet, we must admit. Not like now. Not like today. We are seeing things that have never been seen. And they all are pointing to the soon coming of the Lord.

March 26th 2018, Their priests, the Sanhedrin with the government’s permission sacrificed a lamb closer to the temple mount than ever in this modern time.

August 28th, 2018 a red heifer was born and has the green light to be the one to be sacrificed as Israel prepares for the purification of the third temple.

Dec 10th, 2018 the altar was dedicated for the use of animal sacrifices to resume since the destruction of the temple is 70 A.D.

Unprecedented is our times. Today. This isn’t future. This is today. Preparations have and are being made now.

·        What’s on our minds?

·        Where are our thoughts?

The so called spiritual among us.

·        What is our motivation?

·        What is it that has our worship?

The world will always be the world. They will be caught asleep. The world will be caught in ignorance. Like a thief that comes under the guise of darkness.

Jesus said, and I find this of the world HE died for. Jesus makes mention of two groups of people.

John 17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.  KJV

Those Jesus said HE prays for, and those HE does not pray for. (THE CHURCH--- HE PRAYS FOR…) (THE WORLD---HE DOESN’T PRAY FOR…)

How do we see it? Why should we then pray for that which Jesus says, HE doesn’t and will not pray for?

We find ourselves seeking and praying for a world that Jesus is not going to save. When the bible does declare to us how to fix our personal world.

2 Chron 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.    KJV

This is no doubt written to the nation of Israel. But still the principle is true. IF WE SEEK HIS FACE. What we should be in prayer for. We must (SEEK HIS FACE… SEEK AFTER HIM… WORSHIP HIM… LOVE HIM… SEEK HIS HOLINESS… GO AFTER WHAT HE LOVES AND TURN FROM WHAT HE HATES…)

The fix is not in praying for the world. The fix is seeking HIM. The greatest commandment Jesus gave was the first.

Matt 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.    KJV

The world is imploding. The world has no hope.

Satan is the prince and power of the air. He is the god of this present world.

Look closely. Jesus Himself said to “watch and pray.” Be intent in seeing the world for what it is. One could go off on a tangent and give news article after news article. Always something evil. Wickedness walks every street. Hangs out on every corner. It’s in every school. Walking into places of worship. On and on, everywhere. All is fulfilling the word of GOD. “Perilous (dangerous) times” aren’t coming there here. Each event mentioned has not made the news.

While the world sleeps. Israel is preparing for what they believe to be their coming messiah.

No one is talking about it on the mainstream news. Neither are the political commentators of talk radio. Jesus is coming not for a world but for a people that is called by HIS name. A people that have made themselves ready. A holy people, a prayerful and watchful people. A people that has not forsaken of coming together for the purpose of loving and worshipping HIM. HIS CHURCH… HIS BRIDE… FILLED WITH THE OIL OF THE HOLY GHOST… LOOKING FOR HIM…

LOOK THE CHURCH IS ABOUT TO GO AS SOMEONE SAID, “VERTICAL…”
