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’.

Es-Tu Aussi Charlie?

Are you also 'CHARLIE?'

Perhaps like never before, the democratic world is being pushed in a corner to define more precisely the limits of our so-called democratic freedoms. The latest international assaults have been on the freedom of speech, climaxing in the slaughter of many in Paris who defended to their deaths their right to free speech.  Other targets have included the freedom of same-sex marriage, freedom to own guns, including assault rifles, and even freedom of our current U.S. President to use executive authority to help catalyze solutions and eventual laws to intractable/escalating social problems for which congress has demonstrated an inability to address.

“Freedoms, unlimited, unrestricted and unrestrained” -- from where did this notion come?  Is it one person's ‘freedom’ to trample the expectations and rights of others to be respected in a civil manner?  Is it ‘freedom’ itself that threatens to dismantle the cordial boundaries and supposedly sure foundations of our so-called "civil society?"  To where has the ‘civil’ in our civil society fled?

From Day 1, mankind has relentlessly pursued ‘freedom from’, starting with God and everything God-related.  Over the ions of time, we have dressed up this pursuit to be ‘freedom to’ and ‘freedom of’, but don’t be fooled –
The root of our pursuit
And the fruit of this root
Shamefully remain the same

Alas, true freedom itself is not free, but disciplined.  Anything less is not freedom, but a devilish invitation and temptation to eventual anarchy.  And that is exactly what satan and his crew want, and exactly what sinfully-fallen mankind will get...anarchy.  This is the promise outlined in detail in The Book of Revelation.  The good news is that the upcoming upheaval in all world systems will both seed and usher in the birth of a new millennium of Christ’s iron-hand rule of planet earth and it’s persistently stubborn inhabitants, followed by an eternal age of peace.

Until then, the best advice I have found remains valid, even after a couple of thousand years:
If it is possible, as much as depends on you,
live peaceably with all men.
(Romans 12:18)

In light of this admonition, rather than being 'Char-lie', by faith and God’s Grace:
  • Je suis Char-ity, which is Love (1 Corinthians 13)
  • Je suis Char-acter, which is integrity demonstrated
  • Je suis Char-med no more by, and un-chained from the shackles of unlimited, unrestricted and unrestrained freedoms

I invite you to decide who and what you are in this regard.  If you agree with me, with Godly wisdom and strength, we can fight to be free from being:
…‘Char-red’ in spirit on the hot coals of hate and intolerance
…‘Char-acterless’, devoid of the character traits of Father God
…‘Char-acterized’ as so freedom-loving that we care-less of others
Choose well...
