Sounding of the Trumpet is Beginning!


To Christians, and non-Christians; A most important message of the Trumpet sounding for everyone is now sounding. ****Now is the Day of Salvation! Revelations 7:10 “And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.” Revelations 14:6,7 6And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 8And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. 9And 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, 10The 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: 11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” ****Now is the time to repent. Acts:2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Now is the time to be baptized of the Holy Spirit. Acts 3:19-21 “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 20And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.” Now is the time to forsake all evil, anything that is contrary to God, or against Gods will, His love, or His law. Gods will is clearly seen in the King James Version of the Bible. 2Timothy 2:19 “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” God is giving us ample warning signs in the church, in the world, in politics, and in Nature. These are signs that He is coming back soon, and His reward is with him to give everyman according as his work shall be. Revelations 22:12. ****There are many false teachers and false prophets, who only speak of Gods love and His mercy. Matthew 24:24" For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." God is love. God is merciful. But His mercy equals his justice. Exodus 34:7, "Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation." 2Peter 2:1, "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.." God does not change. Malachi 3:6 "For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.", Hebrews 13:8,"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.." Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God. 2 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. 3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; 4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. 6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 8 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. 10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new. 11 And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. 12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people. 13 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. 14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; 15 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: 16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. God does not play, nor is He fickle as we humans are. These and many other characteristics are plainly seen in His Word and in His dealings with His people in ages past. Since the beginning of time, God has had Covenants or contracts with His people. There are many lessons that we should be learning from the experiences of these people in our History, and the Bible is the Oldest and longest lasting History Book. A lesson noted in Leviticus 26:1-17 should send shock waves through the churches of the land now. Judges 19, 20, give examples of Gods vengeance and justice for sins of the people. ****Many thousands of Gods people were destroyed by their disobedience, and going contrary to His laws and instructions. We are no different than they, and God has granted us time to read His word, and learn His precepts so that we can amend our ways. ****God created the Heavens and the Earth in seven literal days, and it was perfect. John 1: 1-5 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made., 9-11 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.He came unto his own, and his own received him not., 14, And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." Revelations 4:11."Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." He is in the process of re-creating His perfect Image in man, in which we are now between six thousand and seven thousand years. 2 Peter 3:8, "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." and Psalms 90:4, "For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.." ****Who knows when the exact day of Jesus appearing will be? Who knows when He will complete His work in the Heavenly sanctuary above? Only the Father knows. We all must be living perfected lives, in Christ Jesus our Lord, sanctified by obedience to His word and His Laws, Keeping the Seventh-day Sabbath Holy unto God, as He did when he was here. Matthew 5:48, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.." 2Corinthians 5:17-19,"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation." Luke 4:14-19,And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,To preach the acceptable year of the Lord." 2Peter 1:12, Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth." ****Not only were Gods Laws and statutes, or Health laws for His people, but they were also for the visitors, travelers, neighbors and friends who were in their company. Leviticus 17:10-14, "And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off." 18:22, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." 19:34,"But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.". And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. 12Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 13And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. 14For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. 1Peter 4:7 “But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.” P.S. Remember that a day is with God as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Word to the Wise!
