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’.

How Come?

Here are a few conundrums that make me stop and take note:

1. How come it is perfectly fine for a non-believer or a cold - lukewarm believer in Christ to say and do things that show just how carnally-minded they are, but they get upset, offended, defensive, suspicious (or all of the above) when a practicing believer does or says anything that demonstrates spirituality?

2. How come America is so outwardly gun-ho to pressure other countries to ‘respect human rights’ based on our expanding definition, while in private hospitals and clinics across our land, the most basic human right is quietly and legally abused, namely the right to be born ALIVE?

3. How come we accept names like Joan of Arc, Simon Bar-(son of) Jonah, Jesus of Nazareth, etc., but totally ignore both the lesson and significance of Jesus’ rebukes of His adversaries and His disciples when He respectively said, “You are of your father, the devil” (John 8:44), and “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of.” (Luke 9:55)? And how come several modern translations of the New Testament totally ignore this insightful second part of Luke 9:55?

4. How come smart scientists rightfully conclude the universe is expanding (i.e., increasing distance between stars, solar systems, galaxies, etc.), yet they totally ignore the age-old insight and wisdom from Psalm 104:1-2: “O Lord my God, You are very great: You are clothed with honor and majesty, Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment, Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.” Imagine a beautifully decorated, one-way curtain that is slowly closing after a grand performance (the creation) on a huge stage (the universe), revealing the Maker’s design more fully.

5. How come we toil to find, market and then hoard exquisite pearls the world over, yet are totally oblivious the key lesson about how oysters respond gently, patiently and beautifully to ...irritations?

6. How come we accept the reality of things like groupthink and collective consciousness, yet continually allow (and even pay for) the worldwide media to feed us a steady diet of negativity that, in turn, feeds groupthink, collective consciousness, copycat crimes, etc.?

7. How come scientists say the universe started with a mess (ok, big bang), then became peaceful and orderly (i.e., peace-from-a-mess notion), yet reject and say ‘Impossible! Foolish!’ to The Bible’s promise that our world will descend into a deepening mess, but will conclude with a millennium of peaceful reign of Christ, followed by peace forever (peace-from-a-mess notion)?

8. How come the news media seems surprised at, and even sensationalizes increasing Jewish immigration to Israel in response to anti-Zionist pressures worldwide, yet ignore God’s oft iterated promises of His plan to scatter, then re-gather Jews to their heritage land, respectively in response to their sin and His Grace?  (By the way, their heritage land extends far broader than current day Israel!)

9. How come, though all Christian believers will likely play the role of the ‘prodigal son’ (i.e., be unfaithful to The Father) in some manner and to various degrees during their lives, the very people who should rejoice like crazy upon the prodigal's return, don’t?

10. How come the world embraces the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as historical fact, even The Muslim Qur’an, yet we totally ignore Jesus’ clear warning: To reject His good news of The Kingdom of God, i.e., that He was sent from God to be the only way (door) to God, is much worse than the historical destiny of these twin cities?
