Welcome~

Hello and Welcome~


The world is blind to these SEVEN, pivotal facts:

1. The Bible communicates Heaven’s 'Multi-millennial Strategic Plan for Humanity'.

2. There are SEVEN ages appointed for humanity.

3. We are nearing the end of the THIRD age, a pivotal turning point in this strategy.

4. A GREAT falling away from the Christian faith is predicted during the ending days of this THIRD age, as a result of backsliding, general lukewarmness and outright apostasy among the heretofore faithful. Look around and this you will clearly see.

5. Biblical prophecies have been and remain seeds of human history.

6. Yet-fulfilled prophecies, unfolding apace, are worthy of diligent study.

7. Now is the time to get and stay on ‘the right side of Bible prophecy’.

Fasten your spiritual seat belts!

Found: Route 7-7-7

Perhaps you may have heard these familiar expressions:
  • Mind over matter
  • Our thoughts manifest our current reality
  • Our current reality is the product of our past thoughts
Is it true? Can we change our circumstantial realities by changing our thought patterns? Could it be that simple?

Well, YES …… and no! 
  
Yes, because God made everything within the ‘earth realm’ to operate based on the seed, time and harvest principle, and in large part, our thoughts are the effective seeds to what we become and what we experience as reality or actuality. This point is borne out in Proverbs 23:7, which is excerpted as: …As he thinks in his heart, so is he.

No, because of the same reason: thoughts are indeed mere, yet important seeds. It takes much more than simply having seeds to yield a desired crop! Seeds are the promise, and they come with a pretty big set of “Ifs”:
1. If planted in good soil, relevant to the desired crop
2. If watered and fed proper nutrition, per the requirements of the desired crop
3. If weed seeds/plants are kept from choking the crop
4. If thieves (human or otherwise) are kept from stealing the pre-harvest crop
5. If the matured crop is harvested on and in time
6. If the good harvest is protected and used appropriately 
Note the number of ifs above: 6, which, according to Revelation 13:18, is the number of man. Spiritually, 6 represents incompleteness. Man was created as a tri-partite being, in the image of Jesus Christ, The Lord God The Creator: spirit (heart) and soul (mind, will, emotions, imagination, intellect) and body. Originally, each part was created immortal, but because of Adam's sin, our bodies are now mortal, yet a draft copy of what shall one day become immortal. Thus, now we 'lack a little of the Godhead'. (See: Ye Are gods (Series)Separated and apart (un-united) from God, tri-partite man is represented by the number, 6-6-6. Spiritually, the number, 7, represents completion and perfection. Perhaps now can you perceive why the number, 7, and especially 7-7-7 are so attractive to us humans.

In launching his failed coup d’etat to dethrone God, Lucifer was pursuing his own route to 7-7-7 status – Route 7-7-7, if you will. His next attempt was to achieve it through God’s highest creation, mankind (or God-kind), created in God’s image. Later on, he pursued it via the Nephilim who crossed the boundary lines separating angels from humans (Genesis 6: 1-8). Modern day scientists are still discovering the giant skeletal remnants of this failed attempt. (See Google and YouTube!)

Despite our best efforts, we all remain stuck on our incomplete Route 6-6-6, seeking and longing for perfection and completion on Route 7-7-7. Like Lucifer, we pursue it via several routes, including wealth accumulation, popularity, beauty and the so-called fountain of youthfulness, material possessions, educational degrees, impressive curriculum vitae, successive marriages, and the list goes on….and on…

Yet we may not realize God, Himself, has a unique plan for us to get on this Route 7-7-7, His way! After all, we were originally created in that perfect state, and He has literally moved heaven and earth to get us back to the way we were! That is indeed good news!

How do we get there? God has outlined in His Book, The Bible, a succinct, three point plan that will ensure we achieve what He and we alike desire, eternal cruising on Route 7-7-7! Here it is, in the order God intends.
  •  Fear God: This is where deep-rooted wisdom begins.This means honoring and respecting Him as God, Almighty who loves and desires to draw us to Himself, again, back to where we were originally. It also means embracing His carefully articulated plan to achieve this objective. This means recognizing we cannot achieve it by any of the above-noted means, but by embracing His Son, Jesus, as the only way back to God as Father. Call it intolerance to ‘other ways’ if you like, but, quite frankly, that will not change God’s mind or perfect plan. Is it really wise and worth it to take such a huge risk to believe you know a better way?!
  • Renew your soul: Since everything we know and experience operates by the seed, time and harvest principle, and since in large part, our thoughts are the effective seeds to what we become and what we experience as reality, we cannot skip this important step. Good seed appropriately managed yields good fruit. What mature adult doesn’t know that? The Bible (The Word of God) in the ONLY book that contains critical seed (insights to immutable laws, principles and promises) containing the spiritual DNA to produce the fruit you need and want for a successful life on earth, and a blissful eternal life after this one passes on. The wisdom gained from the first step above will show you how to respect, discover and apply this seed. When planted in our soul, this seed will eventually establish good roots in our hearts/spirits. 
  • Activate The Word: The good root system in our hearts/spirits from the second step above will gradually influence and shape our dominant thought patterns, our ensuing words, and our deliberative actions. Think of this as Captain Kirk’s (of the starship, Enterprise) favorite order, Engage! No matter how good a strategic plan the crew of the spaceship Enterprise would devise, it would be worthless unless deliberately and intentionally activated, assessed and adjusted with progress. Again, what mature adult doesn’t know that? 
Sounds simple and easy? Well, YES……and no! 

Yes, because it is simple to understand, and to begin. No, because it will take a lifetime of trial, testing and evil-resisting growth to achieve (like anything else worth having). The beauty of God’s plan is His Helper, The Holy Spirit, who has been sent to help us every step along the wayeven between the blinks of our eyes, the beats of our hearts and the breaths of our souls.

With this clear outline, my Friend, I invite you simply to …… Engage!
