War is on the Horizon

Iran: Any attack on nuke plant would be an international crime'

Click here for the full story.

The reports coming out of Israel are claiming that Iran's Nuclear plant must be hit within the next 8 days to keep it from becoming active. It is now time to pray for Israel and the world. It is time to pray for the lost because the end could be nearer than we think. If Israel attacks Iran and destroys the nuclear plant it can start a firestorm of reactions including bringing the Muslim world together in a holy war and Russia into this developing situation. Russia and Iran have over the past few years developed an alliance that was foretold in Ezekiel 38-39. Russia is invested in Iran and any attack would not only be an attack on Iran but Russia as well.

I believe that the Russian/Iranian alliance will us the same pretense that the US led alliance used in attacking Iraq. Weapons of Mass Destruction will be the excuse. I also believe that if there is an attack by the Russian/Iranian alliance we will see the protection of Israel by God, and can be explained no other way but that it is God.

8 days is not a long time. The signs of our time are unlike any we have seen in history before.

Matthew 24:32-33 (New International Version)

32"Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[a]is near, right at the door.

If we stay watchful, and watch for the signs we can know the end is close. The most important thing in all of this is that you are sure what side you are on. You either are a believer in Christ or you are not. What side are you?

A day is coming.

How am I living my life? Am I living like I believe that Christ can return at any minute? Would I be doing anything different, IF, I knew Christ would come back a week from Thursday at 3:36pm? What treasures have I stored up for myself in heaven, so that when I finally meet Christ I am not ashamed? These are some of the questions I have been asking myself lately and my journey through the bible has given me an urgency, to let others know.

In Matthew 16:27, we read that when the Lord comes back, at that time he will give to each and every one of us what we have earned according to what we have done with our life.

Matthew 16:27
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then shall he render unto every man according to his deeds.

What am I doing today that is storing up treasures in heaven? When I meet Jesus will he say well done my good and faithful servant? I am daily trying to take up my cross and follow him. I am trying every time that I am asked to do something for the Church to never say no.

2 Corinthians 5:10
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

Revelation 22:12
12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.

I have done so much bad in my life, just in my thoughts, to be eternally ashamed of myself. Praise the Lord that Christ has forgiven me and washed those sins away and forgotten. Praise God, that he sent his only son to die for me that I might be found blameless on the Day of Judgment. I wonder how people would look if we could see each other’s thoughts like a sign above our heads. What if every time we had a thought of Hate towards someone or Lust in our hearts a big neon sign would appear above our heads that said Murderer or Adulterer? That is exactly what Christ sees. We can hide nothing from God. Do we really believe that God is Omnipresent, that is to say, God is everywhere and we cannot hide from Him? If we really believed that God is always with us, would pornography be a problem anymore? If we really believed that God was all knowing, would we hide evil thoughts in our heart, and proclaim lies out of our mouth? Let us all get on our knees and truly repent of the sin that is corrupting our lives and turn to God. Let us make a change in our lives that others can see. Let us stop filling our hearts with things of this world, like lustful images, hateful thoughts, selfish desires, desire for things of the world instead of heaven. Things and stuff in this world are empty. True peace and happiness can only come from Christ. To follow Christ and His promptings is not a boring life or something we do not have the power to do. Do not be afraid to follow Christ, but instead have faith that he will give us strength to accomplish His will for our life.

Revelation 1:7
7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

In Revelation it says that the Lord is coming back and everyone will see him. But notice that it also says that all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. The world, in that day, will realize that they are sinners and will be ashamed of their deeds, knowing that it is too late. I say to you do not be one of those that mourns at his appearing but instead one that rejoices. Do not wait another second, the time is now to repent and come to Christ. It is simple and life changing to follow Jesus.

Romans 10:9 says:
9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

If anyone is out there reading this and is making a change in their life to accept Christ, please leave me a comment at the end of this blog, proclaiming Jesus as your Lord, so that I may pray for you.
