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’.

Turning Down the Lights (Poem)

Have you ever used a flashlight during the day,

Or perhaps in a room that was quite well-lit?

Unlikely. It shines brightest in the dark.

Even with good batteries, it won’t light your way.

No matter how powerful your flashlight kit,

In good light, it is better to be parked.

 

Jesus revealed Himself as fiery light to four of His friends.

What an awesome sight, especially if this was in the dark! 1

And He promises like Him, His saints will one day be. 2

So I wonder, for His return to Earth, what might this portend?

‘Heaven invading the Earth to install its global Monarch!’

Reflecting on that scene, this unique thought came to me.

 

He said ‘every eye will see’ His invasion. 3

In our day many folks say they don’t believe what they see,

And some taunt believers for perceiving what we believe.

To enhance the impact of His incursion,

It would be best, physically and figuratively,

To turn down all lights for the impact He wants to achieve!

 

There is an eye-catching part in Zechariah,

That says there will be no light ‘during the day’ He returns,

But in the ‘evening time’there will be light4

We know He’ll return in the midst of Armageddon’s scene.

When the world’s in a mess from tribulation downturns.

And we’ll be with Him, also fiery bright! 5

 

I don’t know about you, but to me it sounds like,

He will turn down all lights, in Israel or across the world,

To accent our collective ‘light impact to all on-lookers,

Then in the dark, display His incredible might:

Flooding rain, great hailstones, fire and brimstone on soldiers hurled!

Mt. Olive split, a global earthquake, dissolving all soldiers. 6

WoW!!!!!!!

 

What a mighty …alien invasion in the night,

One that Hollywood could never capture!

Guaranteed to captivate global attention!

But there’s another perspective on turning down lights,

One by which lives today could be fractured,

One with many historical illustrations.

 

Any invasion of a nation starts long before,

The invading army steps one foot on that land,

Various ways and means are begun in advance,

To identify its weaknesses and then explore,

How best to exploit them, and get the upper hand.

Invasions are strategic, never happenstance. 

 

The Lord’s planned Earth invasion will not be on a whim,

It certainly began a long, l-o-n-g time ago. 7

He’s since strategically weakened many of our systems,

And many of our ‘life lights’ He has already dimmed. 8

Some of these you suspect, others you clearly know.

Think of our ‘light equivalents’ across our man-made kingdoms:

 

Our ‘lights’ of:

--Societal fidelity or 'glue'

--Endless energy supplies

--Financial/economic status

--Nations’ territorial integrity

--Endless scientific discoveries

--Comfortable homes and lifestyles

--A wholesome, stable climate in which to thrive

--Competent governments at all levels of governance

 

Friends, these are but a few ‘lights’ that He has begun to dim. 9

And many more of our ‘lights’, He has promised to darken,

Before the day of His assaulting physical invasion.

Because long ago, folks lost awerespect and fear of Him.

If the darkest part of day is the hour before its dawn,

Then darkness will soon be fleeing His …blazing light eruption!!!

1 Ezekiel, Peter, James, John. See: Ezekiel 1:26-28, 8:2, Matthew 17:1-2, Mark 9:2-3, and Luke 9:28-29 

2 See: Daniel 12:3, 120, Matthew 13:43, and 1 John 3:2

3 See: Revelation 1:7

4 See: Zechariah 14:6-7

5 See: Ezekiel 38 and Zechariah 14:5 and Revelation 19:14, 2 Thessalonians 2:8, and Hebrews 1:3

6 See: Ezekiel 38, Zechariah 1-9 outline the 1st War of Gog and Magog, likely to occur sometime during the tribulation plagues. (See: Revelation - Future Attacks in Israel) Those plagues are detailed in Matthew 24: 29-30, and Revelation 8, 9, 16, 18, and 19.

7 It was first promised in Genesis 3:15, leading to the birth, death, resurrection, accension, and promised return of Jesus with His saints and angels. (Zechariah 14:5 and Matthew 25:31)

8 By ‘lights’, I refer to human systems by which we ‘see and perceive’ our way through this life.

9 And to achieve His objectives, He uses angels, demons, people good and evil, animals, climate changes, pestilences, droughts, wars, etc. Check out Ezekiel 14:12-23, and then Ezekiel 9 for one implementation approach. The Bible is full of many other implementation approaches. This may challenge some folks’ errant understanding of John 10:10.
