The 7 Seal Judgements
These next 3 articles are going to be extremely HARD HITTING. I am not going to pull any punches on what will be discussed in these articles. These article have to do with the JUDGMENTS AND WRATH OF GOD HITTING THIS EARTH FULL FORCE DURING THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION - which will be the last 7 years of the world. Many Christians are too afraid to read this part of Book of Revelations because it is just too horrible to think about and contemplate on. However, God is specifically telling us what is going to happen with these judgments. IF GOD DID NOT WANT US TO KNOW OR HAVE THIS INFORMATION DUE TO THE INTENSITY AND SEVERITY OF THESE JUDGMENTS, HE WOULD HAVE NEVER PUT IT IN THE BIBLE. BUT SINCE HE DID, THAT MEANS HE WANTS US TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION FOR OUR OWN KNOWLEDGE AND TO ALSO TO BE ABLE TO PASS THIS ONTO OTHERS IF THESE EVENTS START TO OCCUR IN OUR LIFETIME. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE THE STOMACH TO PRESS IN ON EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, I CHALLENGE YOU TO JUST SIT BACK, RELAX, AND USE YOUR IMAGINATION TO FULLY IMAGINE THESE EVENTS AS THEY ARE DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING SCRIPTURE VERSES. IF YOU DO THIS, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GRASP THE INTENSITY, SEVERITY AND MAGNITUDE OF THESE EVENTS. THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THESE EVENTS AND THE WORLD WILL NEVER SEE ANYTHING LIKE THIS EVER AGAIN! Remember one last thing when you start reading on exactly what is going to occur with these judgments - these events will be occurring on a world wide global scale. When using your imagination to visualize these events, imagine you are hovering above the earth, looking down and seeing these events occur on a worldwide global scale. Then you will be able to appreciate the magnitude and intensity of these events. The Judgments And Wrath Of God There will 3 sets of judgments that will come upon the earth during the last 7 years. Some of these judgments will be "allowed" by God to occur. The rest will come directly from His hand. The 3 sets of judgments will occur in chronological and successive order as they are presented to you from the Bible. They are called: When you read what will occur, the first question you will ask is why? Why is God going to go to such an extreme extent to allow and cause this type of massive destruction to hit our earth. There are two main reasons and you need to get a STRONG HOLD ON EACH OF THESE 2 REASONS SO THAT YOU CAN PERFECTLY UNDERSTAND WHY GOD IS GOING TO ALLOW AND CAUSE ALL OF THESE EVENTS TO OCCUR. The 2 reasons are as follows: 1. To try and get as many people saved as He possibly can before the end comes. Remember, the Rapture will probably have occurred before these events start to happen. That means that all the Christians will be gone. What will be left are the hardheads who either did not get it the first time around or were too stubborn and/or too rebellious to get saved the first time around. God, in His incredible loving mercy, is going to come after these people for a "second time." However, in an effort to try and reach them with the seriousness and gravity of the situation, HE WILL BE THROWING EVERYTHING AT THEM, INCLUDING THE "THE KITCHEN SINK," IN AN EFFORT TO TRY TO LET THEM KNOW THAT HE DOES EXIST, AND THAT HE WILL BE CALLING THEM FOR THE LAST AND FINAL TIME. As you will see, a lot of these people will still fail to repent and turn to God - even after the most serious of these judgments literally hit this earth with full force. After you read what is going to happen, you are going to be blown away that so many of these people will still fail to repent and turn to God after seeing and literally living through these massive onslaughts by God. They will even know that it is God Himself doing it because these events will be so supernatural. But they will still curse Him and refuse to break because of their hardened natures and sinful ways. Their eventual end, when it is all said and done, is that they will be thrown in to what is called the Lake of Fire and Brimstone where they will live under severe torment for the rest of their eternal lives.BUT AS BAD AS THAT EVENTUAL END IS GOING TO BE FOR THESE PEOPLE, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT GOD DID EVERYTHING HE POSSIBLY COULD TO TRY AND GET THESE PEOPLE SAVED BEFORE THE FINAL JUDGMENT TAKES PLACE WHERE THEY ARE THROWN INTO THIS HORRIBLE PLACE OF TORMENT FOR THE REST OF THEIR ETERNAL LIVES. THAT IS WHY THESE JUDGMENTS WILL BE SO SEVERE, INTENSE, MASSIVE AND WILL BE OCCURRING ON A WORLDWIDE GLOBAL SCALE. GOD DOESN'T WANT OR WISH THAT ANYONE SHOULD PERISH INTO THIS HORRIBLE PLACE - BUT HE CAN'T MAKE OR FORCE PEOPLE TO ACCEPT HIM. HOWEVER, HE WILL BE GOING TO THE MOST EXTREME LENGTHS POSSIBLE WITH THESE JUDGMENTS TO TRY AND GET SOME OF THESE HARDENED AND REBELLIOUS SINNERS TO TURN TO HIM.If you read about all of these judgments in this light, you'll be able to appreciate and understand why God has to go to this extreme. When these judgments are over and Jesus returns for the second time, there will be no second chance for these people. If they don't accept Jesus before He comes back, their fate will be sealed for all of eternity in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone.2. The second reason these judgments are going to be released by God is to punish and show His wrath to all the hardened and rebellious sinners which will include the Antichrist, the False Prophet, Satan and all of his demons. You will have not only have the Antichrist and Satan killing and persecuting others, but other people will be killing one another. This will be worse than the city of Sodom and Gomorrah. Most of the Christians who get saved during the Tribulation will be killed by the Antichrist. This one event alone will cause God to release His anger, wrath and vengeance upon the rest of the unbelieving world. It will also serve as a warning and foreshadowing of what is about to come their way very shortly - eternal punishment in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone. In one of the actual seal judgments, there is a whole "seal judgment" just devoted to the Christians who are martyred during the Tribulation. They are crying out to God to extract vengeance on their behalf and He tells them to wait just a little while longer before He does so.THAT IS HOW WICKED THE WORLD IS GOING TO BECOME DURING THIS TIME. THE PERSECUTION AND BLOODSHED CAUSED BY THE ANTICHRIST, SATAN AND THE REST OF THE UNBELIEVING WORLD WILL BE SO BAD, THAT IT WILL CAUSE GOD TO RELEASE, WITH FULL FORCE, THE FURY OF HIS WRATH UPON ALL THESE WICKED PEOPLE. AGAIN, IF YOU CAN GRASP HOW BAD AND EVIL PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BECOME DURING THIS TIME, YOU CAN THEN FULLY UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE WHY GOD IS GOING TO RELEASE SUCH SEVERE JUDGMENTS UPON THE EARTH DURING THIS TIME. AS INTENSE AND POWERFUL AS THESE JUDGMENTS ARE GOING TO BE, THE REAL SAD PART ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS THAT THERE WILL STILL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT TURN TO GOD. BUT AT LEAST WE CAN ALL TAKE WITH US IN THE NEXT LIFE THAT OUR GOD DID EVERYTHING HE POSSIBLY COULD TO WARN AND TRY TO GET THESE PEOPLE SAVED AND PULLED IN. BUT JUST AS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF THE ANGELS HAVE FALLEN, REBELLED AND TURNED AWAY FROM THEIR GOD, A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF HUMANS ARE GOING TO DO THE SAME THING, AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WE OR EVEN GOD HIMSELF CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF THE FREE WILL HE HAS GIVEN TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US. THAT IS GOING TO BE THE SADDEST PART OF HUMAN HISTORY AFTER IT IS ALL SAID AND DONE. The next article will deal with the 3 sets of Judgments that will take place during the last 7 years on earth.

Thought Produces Desire, Produces Results (Channelled) Choose Your Friends Carefully For those of you who have entered into a true Spirit-filled, surrendered walk with the Lord where God and Jesus are now leading and directing your life in the direction They want it to go in - one of the first things that you will find happening to you is that God will start to prune out the people that He does not want in your life and start to bring in the people that He does want in. Living Without Blueprints Some people look at the biblical book of Revelation as a blueprint for the end of time. It tells exactly when the end will come, how it will come and who will be punished when it happens. Those with this perspective buy up apocalyptic fiction like the "Left Behind" series and confidently pronounce that we are in the "end times." They may even associate certain modern day figures or happenings with supposed end-of-times events. There are three basic problems with this perspective: (1) It is counter to the pronouncements of Jesus himself; (2) It ignores the long history of people who have tried to use Revelation in this way; and (3) It is counter to the nature of faith itself. Let's look at these three problem areas more closely. Mahavira | 24th Tirthankara of Jainism His Teachings and Essence Vardhamana Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism was the last of the series of 24th Tirthankars in Jainism Dharma. Jainism as we understand today is primarily focused on the teachings and essence of Bhagwan Mahavira. Why? Pope John Paul II, The Right Man at the Right Time The world has been blessed to have Pope John Paul II for the past 27 years. Many people have called him The Man of the Century. Pope John Paul II was certainly one of the best known and most revered men on earth. Of Snakes and Terrorism With the passing of Arafat, the Middle East will take on a slightly different face, allowing the possibilities for prophetic fulfillment to speed up. The pathway is now open for renewed efforts to procure peace in the Middle East, using the avenue of the formation of the promised Palestinian State. But this window of opportunity may not remain open for long. Indeed pressure is now mounting from the United States, encouraged by Britian, to get on with the steps necessary to implement the terms of the "Road Map." We Must Be Ready. But How? Revelation 19:7 states, "Let us rejoice and give honor unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready." Christians in Peril. Romans 7:8-7:25. The Christian today has become a people without a vision. The Lord has said that, with out a vision my people perish. War in Heaven This next event, a war in heaven, will not be able to be seen with the naked eye by the people still left on the earth as the 7 year Tribulation starts to unfold. What happens in this next incredible event is that Satan and his angels are cast out of "heaven" and cast down onto the earth by St. Michael and his army of angels. There will literally be a war in the "heavens" between God's angels and the Devil and his fallen angels. Consider, The Past, Present and Future? Consider the past. A time when we were prosperous and growing? No Ishmaels Please I want to say a word about faith. Recent events in my own life have driven home just how easy it is to loose sight of what we say we believe. Just like Abraham of old, we often try to bring about results through our own efforts. For those of you not familiar with narrative found in the book of Genesis, let me summarize. Abraham had been given the promise by God of having a son in his old age. God, in fact made a covenant with Abraham, sealing the promise in the blood of sacrificial animals. Typically this looks forward, for those of us who are New Testament believers, to the blood of Christ through which we are made partakers of God's eternal covenant. But, back to Abraham. Certainly after such a dynamic demonstration (Genesis 15) of God's covenant promise, we would think that Abraham would have not doubt that God would fulfill his part of the agreement. But, instead of waiting patiently on God as he should have done, he listened to his wife, Sarah, and tried to help God out, by having a son with his handmaiden (as was the custom of the day), since his Sarah was barren. He did have a son with his handmaiden, but that was a cause of much sorrow to him, and is the cause of much conflict even today. For, you see, this son, Ishmael, is the father of Arab nations. Oh, God was still with Ishmael and provided water to keep him alive after Sarah had thown out the handmaden and her son. But Ishmael was not God's first choice for Abraham. Thus, later, God did fulfill his promise and give Abraham a son through his wife, Sarah. That son, Isaac, is the father of the Jewish people. We are all aware of the Arab-Israeli conflict which continues till today. Yet, God was gracious, and Abraham is remembered today as the Father of the faithful, and in the hall of faith, Hebrews 11, his faith is mentioned but not his lack of it in that one moment of weakness. (Thus, I don't feel that I should share the particulars of my recent Ishmael experience with you, as I know God has put it in the sea of forgetfulness.) Often we may be tempted to do what Abraham did and take matters into our own hands, instead of trusting God explicitly. But, this can only result in the production of an Ishmael, which, although God may still bless, will mean trouble for us and cause us to deviate for a time from our primary God-given goals and purpose. However, when that happens, we may be assured of God's grace in getting us back on track. May God ever keep us from producing Ishmaels. But if we do, may we run to Him for His mercy and grace and know that He is still in controll and we will not be remembered by him for our Ishmaels, but for our Isaacs--the fruit of our faith. If you feel you have no faith, perhaps you this will be a first step for you. If you feel you need more faith or need to use your faith more, perhaps this can also be a starting point for you in that direction. What about the 4400? Murders are so frequent in our country that a single homicide seldom grabs national attention unless the perpetrator or the victim is already a celebrity. Even a double murder is not national news. It takes multiple murders to make the headlines, CNN, and the network evening news. In The Beginning Christ! As I was doing my studies, the Lord put something on my heart that really took me by surprise. He dropped a little bit of revelation knowledge into my mind, and it took me on a great ride. In this Newsletter, I want to share with you what the Lord has showed me. In no way is this a complete study of this subject, yet I do believe that this is a core teaching on the subject, and that the understanding of Christ is deeper then most believe. Under Siege! This Article is the result of another hard night of realizing the fact that the Church is falling into deception. This was a particularly hard night for me. The first 15 paragraphs of this Article were written while I literally balled my sorry eyes out. (I just had a major eye transplant surgery, so that was not a comfortable experience). I was happy that my wife went to bed before the tears started. I just felt so sorry and sad for the things that are happening in America today, as what probably amounts to the greatest country the earth has ever seen is reduced to another fascist, police state, basking in religious bigotry. I am not marveled by that too much, I mean this is what the kingdoms of this world do, it's no big surprise. Spirituality from the Hebrew Bible: 10 Major Themes The major themes of the Hebrew Bible (also known as the Old Testament) surely include God, man, sin, righteousness, grace, covenant, law, atonement, and holiness. A final theme we will examine is the Messiah. Nearly everyone would agree that these ten themes are among the most important. Let's take a closer look at each one. Housing Katrina Victims! Information many have been looking for! Treachery in the Midst of the Land The term Scripture uses to describe the activities of those who attempt to sell-out Israel comes to mind. "Treacherous!" A Worship Leader is a Spiritual Leader This article is for worship leaders. And as such, I believe it needs to focus on leadership skills. It is my intent to do this from a Biblical perspective. The only prerequisite for leadership is you must have somebody follow you. I can be just one person or thousands. The definition is still the same - A leader must have someone following them. Growing in the Knowledge of God This first verse completely sets the stage for you to be able to receive knowledge from the Lord. This first verse is literally telling us that God is wanting us to grow in the knowledge of Him and His Son Jesus. "... but GROW in the grace and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." (2 Peter 3:18)This verse is only one short sentence long, but a lot is being said in it. After we get saved, God expects us to start growing in the knowledge that He wants to transmit to us. And the only way we can spiritually grow is by seeking after the knowledge that will cause this growth to occur in the first place! This right here is why a lot of Christians do not make much spiritual growth over the course of their lives after they initially get saved - because they are not seeking after the knowledge of God that will cause this growth to actually occur. The Oldest Concept in History I find it funny that one of the oldest concepts in the world has become one of modern society's biggest irritants. The problem with this is that the concept has been lost behind all the problems created by people who did not fully understand the concept to begin with. Religion is, by far, at the forefront of this list of problems. Government is close behind. So what is the concept we've lost? At the risk of sounding "philosophical", I'll put it in one word. God.
