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’.

For Mine Is The Kingdom (Poem)


Brace yourself if you can’t handle meat of God’s Word,
And if only ‘the milk of The Word’ feeds your soul.
Whether it’s milk or meat, it’s ALL GOOD and nourishes. 1
But I must admit my mind and heart are disturbed,
When by babes on milk, meat eaters are not extoled,
But are encouraged to return to milk practices.

Might those on milk do good to recall,
The times in The Gospels when Jesus exclaimed,
‘O ye of little faith!’, to those who disbelieved,
And how by ‘great faith’ He was enthralled?
On one occasion His disciples were shamed:
‘Where is your faith?!’ -- worse than faith that underachieved. 2

Pulling meat eaters down to lower levels of faith,
May merely be a sign of deception,
Or possibly just simple jealousy.
It’s essentially just the result of devils play.
If it is great faith that you envision,
By babes, you may be received …jeeringly. 3

God’s Word says, ‘By bread alone man shall not live,
But by every Word of The Lord.’ 4
Receiving this as both a command and promise,
Means in your life, His Word will be conclusive.
If to His Word you’re tightly moored,
Then you will aim for great faith, based on this premise.

Too many focus on what they don’t believe,
And thus we edit those things out of The Bible.
This is just like dissecting a precious gift!
By this, imagine how God’s heart must be grieved.
If God’s Good News is much more than the Gospels,
Then nothing that’s good therein deserves short shrift.

Born in America, I became a citizen,
With all the rights, privileges and responsibilities.
Of these, what could I exercise before I grew?
Re-born in Christ, I am a citizen of Heaven,
Though I’m still learning to conquer sinful proclivities,
Jesus said, ‘The Kingdom of God is within you.’ 5

In teaching His disciples to pray, Jesus concluded,
‘For Thine is The Kingdom, power and glory forever.’ 6
Indeed, to God Almighty, all things belong,
This prayer was before to us righteousness was credited.
God’s now pleased when I say, Mine is The Kingdom, forever!’
What’s more, to me power and glory belong! 7

Don’t expect an apology when I aim for great faith.
I won’t seek an apology if you linger on milk.
In His Grace, God will respect both our choices.
Just be satisfied with His food you have put on your plate.
When the milk you eat begins to make your spirit’s strength wilt,
Try meat. Become one of God’s great faith voices.

1 …you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. (Hebrews 5:12-14)  as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby… (1 Peter 2:2)
2 See: Luke 8:25
3 See: Matthew 9:24, Nehemiah 2:19 and 2 Chronicles 36:16
4 See: Deuteronomy 8:23, Matthew 4:4 and Luke 4:4
5 See: Luke 17:21
6 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one… (John 17:22) See also: Matthew 6:13
7 To God be ALL glory?  No, not quite because He quite benevolently gives glory to you and me. Surprised?  There is not only ‘Glory@End-of-My-Story’ because Jesus is keenly interested in sharing glory with us in-the-NOW!!!  How awesome! See: John 17:22, 2 Corinthians 3:18 and 4:6-7, Ephesians 1:18, Hebrews 2:7-10, 1 Peter 4:14. Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you The Kingdom. (Luke 12:32)
