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 and general lukewarmness 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’.

The Whipping Post (Poem)

The Seed God planted in Genesis 3:15,
Became the Root in Isaiah 53:2

I owed a debt that could not be paid.
You paid my debt that on You was laid.
I hear the crack of the cat ‘o nine tails,
As it strikes, it exposes Your entrails.

As each stroke is laid upon Your raw back,
Into Your eyes I look, and know this fact --
These are the stripes that bring to me healing,*
So at Your whipping post, I am kneeling.

I receive great strength as You lose yours.
Thus, You open Heaven’s healing doors.
Once again, Psalm 107 is fulfilled,
God sent You, His Word, so I could be healed.

Ohhhh, such a horrible and bloody scene!
Whipped, though not one law did You contravene.
You, God’s own Son, His sacrificial Lamb.
On You, He opens His full judgment dam!

Hit with this great flood that should have been mine,
Body torn to shreds by that cat ‘o nine.
39 strokes, just one short of death’s blow!
Whipping’s is over. Now, the cross must follow...
----------
* Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:24

    You have movingly expressed the heart of our worship and gratitude to Jesus Christ, Our Savior and Redeemer! Thank you for reminding us of the verses in Isaiah that Handel put to glorious music and for drawing attention to the beautiful meditations of Psalm 107.

    Prompted by your poem, I found another passage that describes the Savior's atonement in Romans 5:6-21:
    8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

    9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

    10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

    11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

    I love that the word "atonement" literally means "at-one-ment" or the noun of being at one with God, reconciled to Him. Because of Christ's atonement, we can be forgiven, washed clean, and become worthy to enter Heavenly Father's presence, where no unclean thing can dwell.

    Our best and really only way to express our profound love and gratitude for Christ's atonement on our behalf is obedience to His commandments and service to our fellow men.
