Warning!! Strong Meat~ Not for Newbies unless you are able to chew Please!

[4afaithfulone]

Ever think about why we seem to be paying more and more taxes and why a nation is ruined by debt?
Sin is the answer!
When people are lawless they steal, kill and destroy with lies, false testimonies, drugs, corruption, prostitution, and that causes court costs, hospital costs & medical expenses, incarceration cost, reconstruction for property loss or damage, reimbursement costs for insurance, lawyer fees just to name a few.
Some say, it is just the sign of the times, but in reality, it is that evil has overtaken the people and it is going exactly as God said it would. We must be on our guard that it does not over take us in any area of our life.
God warns us that we will be judged by every careless word we speak. That is why we are seeing so much venues to voice our opinion on such Mega speakers for a cloud of witnesses as Facebook, My space,Twitter, and the like. Airing all the dirty laundry for judgment of our words, and to expose the hidden deeds of others that puts blood on our hands as they commit suicide, shoot up schools due to gossip and bullying from the giants who lord over others and return evil for evil.
The hearts and minds are being searched as the Tempter is shaking things in the earth, as God allows, to separate those who are His, and those who are not. God is turning nation against (their own) nation, throwing down one king and setting up another just as the Word says He would, and showing His Mighty Works from the heavens.
The Jews did not recognize their Messiah because they looked for a warrior, so they were in error for lack of understanding when he came as a Lamb. But is the same thing happening to us today? Are we expecting a Lamb when scripture says he returns as a Lion to bring God’s wrath upon the ungodly during tribulations that we see in the earth? I am a mid trib believer and while we are now going through tribulation, the GREAT Tribulation is soon to come! Very Soon!
Patience please:
The other day I seen a couple of ants in my shower and I made the mistake of not destroying the few, because the next thing I knew they had called their buddies and now I had to completely wipe them all out instead of just a few. I hope to not make that mistake again. I feel very bad when I have to kill bugs!
But my point of saying this is….Warning!! And you may not want, or be able, to hear this, but hopefully we are able to receive strong meat for the Bible is full of this truth I am about to reveal.
It is to show that this is how God does things(Ant example).
When He must bring judgment upon a home or a city or a nation.. He does not come down and make us all line up to hand out punishments or find out who‘s to blame for He already knows who to blame!
He brings us to a place of judgment and while the Act of God may be huge to get our attention for all to see, usually only a handful are harmed to hopefully turn some away from their evil deeds, call upon Him in the process and save most. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah, Pharaoh in Egypt? God does not want to punish, but ungodly man just won’t let His love in. They insist on doing things their way, without Him then before you know it sin prevails and everyone suffers for the bad apple!
When Jesus ascended up into the cloud, they said what are you looking at, this same Jesus will come just as he left, meaning…… IN A CLOUD.... and every eye will see him, over our heads (pardon the pun) and on the news as we watch the wars and rumors of wars, the storms, flooding, hurricanes, earthquakes in diverse places they have never been etc…. Do we recognize him? Or are we making the same mistake as the unbelieving Jews did?
Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
KJV
They seen him go in a cloud and he shall come in the cloud. He nevers comes down to earth until after the Great Tribulation! He does not whip out a physical sword as man.. He fights with the sWord in his mouth as we should be doing, for we wrestle not against the flesh and blood, but the unclean spirits of the spiritual wickedness in high places. Put on the whole armour of God so that when you speak His Word, the enemy will not know it is just YOU behind the armor of God! Whip out that sWord of the Spirit which is the Word of God, and then enter into His Rest as you let God handle the battle! Got enemy? Get God!
Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
KJV
We are in a battle, but the battle is the LORD’S, we fight no man with physical weapons.
We must remember that the fight is over Good verses Evil and it is only people who can have these two attributes if they don’t accept Christ, they are anti-Christ and are enmity towards God! Preferrably get then saved! But that is the goal of God as well. For when they are in the Lake of fire(hot water with God) the hope is they won't be able to stand the heat long and they will hopefully get out of the kitchen where someone is always cooking up mischief.
We must realize that God is not a fortune teller that we are awaiting to see if things He has said will come to pass. He Wrote the Book and His Word does not return Void, it will go exactly as IT IS WRITTEN!
Blessings, I hope

Sin is the answer!

I call it systemic sin. It's top down just like when Solomon made Jerusalem the greatest nation on earth, not to mention it was the first time in world history where there was world peace.
But how did he do it? He did it by being an arms trader and military force. He built the temple with slave labor and offered his children up for sacrifice to the god Baal.

Why not? Silver was abundant, life was good. Don't mind the injustice and oppression.

It starts at the top and trickles down. It's that sin that's embedded into every society and we turn a blind eye because we're satisfied. Ever look at half the things you buy? Ever wonder who actually made them?

 

[Eugene]

@4afaithfulone, since you don’t like to kill bugs, do you realize that it was you that provided the source of food for them to sin against you? Maybe they were God’s messengers of warning for you to clean the shower, and you slew the angels instead? When Jesus was sent to the world He was slain also.

You mean like this?
1 Sam 8:5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
9 Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.
12 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
13 And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
16 And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
17 He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
20 That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
22 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
KJV
This below does not include all so please do not take offense everyone, let your con-science be your guide and wisdom lead you out if this does, out of love I say this.

This is true but that is not was causes man to fall so deeply into darkness as we are seeing. These rulers are put in authority over the people and it is also God's way of teaching us a lesson. We get to reap the fruit of what we have sown!
The sinfulness really begins at home, it comes from bad upbringing, we love money more than our children whom we have spoiled rotten with THINGS by the way and would rather work to buy our treasures and to feed our bellies. So we dump our children at a day care who also is only interested in their buck and so no one is teaching our children any morals.
We have kicked God's Lamb out of the school and now we expect the teachers to deal with it!! And we make excuses for our bully children and call the one picked on and harassed the one who sinned when they have had enough of no one coming to their aid and take things into their own hands.
No, we can't pass the buck like Adam and Eve did to blame it on the authority, for God is the one who ordained the authorityto try and keep the evil doers from the peaceful, yet we must take note from God's Word that they too are human after their own interests. We need to nip it in the bud... and that means at home while they are small and in our care.. teach them the ways of Solomon before he was defiled by women! He sought wisdom and justice until he did just like Adam and allowed himself to be unfaithful to Christ, for God is a jealous God!!!! To Fear the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.

It was God Himself who placed us into a factual environment of good and evil. Of life and death.

Even when we choose to do good, such choice never changed the fact that evil still remains, regardless, within all. As does death.

I was thinking more about Solomon. 1 Kings 9-12
Contrast that with the tail end of Deuteronomy and you will see the kingdom that Solomon built. It was not God's kingdom.

 

[Sinthesis]

However the kingdom that Solomon built was a type for God's Kingdom, but like every type ultimately falls short.
