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’.

Shake, Rattle ‘n Rule (Poem)


See the series here

Shake, Rattle ‘n Roll…
A very popular blues-rock song,
Back when Rock ‘n Roll was idolized,
About a fellow who realized,
His lover had been doing him wrong. 1

‘You wouldn’t do nothin’ to save your doggone soul!’
Spurned by his lover, he takes no blame,
Casting upon her all of the shame.
That is the blues, to the swing of rock ‘n roll.

Shake, Rattle ‘n Roll…
Hey, does this sound like the news headlines of today?
All across our world, folk’s lives are being upended,
Previously rejected norms, are now defended,
Things once unimaginable are now …OK.

Such was the case for Israel in days-of-old.
So far had they strayed from what God required,
That His Grace to them finally expired.
Most folk 'wouldn’t do nothin’ to save their doggone souls!

Shake, Rattle ‘n Roll…
That’s exactly what God promised, then prepared,
Lives and systems, shaken!
Hopes for escapes, darkened!
By two invading nations, folk were ensnared.

But get this. Even in the midst of their destruction,
Folk doubled-down on their God-insurrection.
Other lovers had captured their affection.
Worshiping their idol gods, they would not abandon.

Shake, Rattle ‘n Roll…
That is what’s happening to our lives today.
Israel’s past, serves as a microcosm for us,
Portending today when, toward God, folk are callous.
We’re on slippery slopes to our own doomsday!

The Lord twice promised once more to shake,
ALL things in, on and those pertaining to Earth.
To a brand-new age, His shaking will give birth. 2
At this time, there’ll be great heartache!

Shake, Rattle ‘n Roll…??
The rattling that will follow His great earthquake,
May echo all across our solar system.
Never before will a time be so gruesome,
As lands, nations and all systems are reshaped.

Yep, God has promised all Earth to shake and rattle,
But rather than ‘roll’, He’s decided to ‘rule’,
Over survivors who will have played the fool. 3
This is the rock ‘n rule I see in The Bible.

Shake, Rattle ‘n Rule…
Friend, are you prepared and ready for it,
In your body, soul and spirit?
Your reply God will elicit,
Your eternal life to gain ...or forefit.
