Then Sudden Destruction Cometh Upon them

As of late, there have been extraordinary claims of divine intervention and the coming of a golden age of prosperity and peace.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-6--"But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they will say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape. But ye brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief...Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober." This scripture speaks of the sudden destruction described in Revelation 17 and 18.

The United Nations is the
beast the nations of the world
give their power and strength.


"And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind and shall give their power and strength unto the beast...And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled."

Through history, since this scripture was written, there have been many declarations of peace. However, this particular declaration of "peace and safety" will be so extraordinarily different, it will leave no doubt as to where we are in the stream of the Bible's timeline.

The Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail, the Shroud of Turin, and the Cross--What is the Truth about These Objects

Image
Many religious legends and fables have been concocted through the centuries. The reason was to legitimize the grand lie that became a new religion during the reign of Constantine, when Christian names were attached to pagan celebrations and beliefs. As to the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail, the Shroud of Turin, and the Cross, you will find none of these objects being physically used or spoken of in the New Testament after the original events they were involved in, and two never existed. The Ark of the Covenant disappeared before Babylon conquered Jerusalem and its temple. When the Babylonians ransacked the temple before burning it, the Ark of the Covenant was nowhere to be found. Is it possible God disposed of it to prevent it from being misused if captured or shown inappropriate idolizing? One thing is certain, Jeremiah stated its relevance would no longer be consequential with the original temple gone. It served its purpose. Jeremiah the prophet wrote the following about the Ark...

Jesus' Birth According to the Bible

Image
Jesus set the standard when it comes to worshiping God. He said, "...they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth." This is the truth about Jesus’ birth according to the Biblical accounts of Matthew and Luke. The scriptural account in Luke tells us the shepherds were living outdoors watching over their flocks and it was nighttime. This is something they would not be doing in late December. When the winter cold began, it is a fact the shepherds brought their flocks in from the fields and would not be living outdoors, especially at night. So, Jesus' birth took place in a warmer month. More appropriately, a fall month. While the shepherds were in the fields with their flocks, angels appeared and announced Jesus’ birth to them. There is no mentioning of them seeing a star. The shepherds did not need a star to point the way. The angel told them exactly where they could find Jesus. The shepherds went to Bethlehem to see their Messiah. There was no mention of the M...

Jesus Christ is the Rock Upon Which the Church was Built

Image
Nowhere in the New Testament does it say or even imply that the Apostle Peter ever went to Rome. However, it does say that the Apostle Paul went to Rome. He was the perfect choice to do so. He was Jesus' choice. When Saul was converted and became the Apostle Paul, Jesus said this of him, "But the Lord said to him: “Go! because this man is a chosen vessel to me to bear my name to the nations as well as to kings and the sons of Israel." (Acts 9:9-19) (Romans 11:13)  Even though the Apostle Paul was born a Jew, he was also born a citizen of Rome, Peter was not. Being a citizen of Rome gave Paul certain valuable rights and immunities. One important right Paul had as a Roman citizen despite being a Jew was the ability to appeal an injustice. If certain capital offenses were involved, a citizen could request to be sent to Rome, there to stand trial before the emperor himself, which Paul took advantage of on several occasions. Thus, he fulfilled Jesus words, "to bear my nam...
