1. When God laid the foundations of this world, there was so much HOPE and JOY, “Where wast thou when I laid the FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH? declare, if thou hast understanding. When the MORNING STARS SANG together, and all the SONS of God SHOUTED FOR JOY?” [Job 8:4-7] The JOY was cut short by SIN, opening the door to the CURSE which subjected NATURE to BONDAGE OF CORRUPTION, as it is written: “… Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it; CURSED BE THE GROUND for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life” [Genesis 3:17] The daily tribulations of living in a world enslaved to CORRUPTION and DEATH is the SIN occasioned by DECEPTION. The Serpent DECEIVED Man, but God was not caught unawares, as some think; He allowed the error, that He might perfect the work of REDEMPTION in those who live in HOPE of His SALVATION, “For the creature was made subject to vanity, NOT WILLINGLY, but by reason of him who hath SUBJECTED the same in HOPE, Because the creature itself also shall be DELIVERED FROM the BONDAGE OF CORRUPTION into the glorious LIBERTY of the children of God” [Romans 8:20-21] 

2. The mosquito was not created to infect people with malaria or the lion to savage antelopes, “And God saw EVERY THING THAT HE HAD MADE, and, behold, it was VERY GOOD …” [Genesis 1:31] When SIN overthrew CREATION with CORRUPTION the personality of the BEAST was impressed on NATURE. The BEAST in NATURE is the character of Satan; it is the reason the world is ravaged by poverty, disease, strife and wars. Listen closely, no plant was created to be poisonous or used to produce psychedelic drugs but food, “And God said, Behold, I have given you EVERY HERB bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and EVERY TREE, in the which is the FRUIT of a tree yielding seed; TO YOU IT SHALL BE MEAT” [Genesis 1:29] No cell or virus was formed to kill but do contrary, even as we, knowing what is GOOD to do, do the opposite, “Now if I do that I would not, IT IS NO MORE I THAT DO IT, BUT SIN that dwelleth in me. … O WRETCHED MAN that I am! WHO SHALL DELIVER ME from the body of this DEATH?’ [Roman 7:20-24] Friend, be of good cheer, God foreknew SIN world come and made a WAY for us who were once separated from His goodness to be RECONCILED to Him through Jesus Christ, “For it pleased the Father that IN HIM SHOULD ALL FULNESS DWELL; And, having made PEACE THROUGH THE BLOOD of his cross, by him to RECONCILE ALL THINGS unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven” [Colossians 1:19-20]

3. We all came into the world saddled with the yoke of SIN, enslaved to DEATH, “For ALL HAVE SINNED and come short of the glory of God; Being JUSTIFIED FREELY by his GRACEe through the REDEMPTION redemption that is in Christ Jesus:” [Romans 3:23-24] We were DEAD ON ARRIVAL, “FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH”, DEAD to God because SIN dwelt in us [Romans 6:23] This BODY we cherish so much is the BODY of DEATH [Romans 7:24] The only ONE who could SAVE us is God; He had to be like us to overcome SIN in this BODY and conquer DEATH,  “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of FLESH and BLOOD, he also HIMSELF TOOK PART OF THE SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY HIM that had the POWER OF DEATH, that is, the DEVIL” [Hebrews 2:14] God was manifest in Jesus Christ, and by His DEATH on the Cross paid the “WAGES” of our SIN; It is a MYSTERY, “And without controversy great is the MYSTERY OF GODLINESS: GOD WAS MANIFEST in the FLESH, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” [1 Timothy 3:16] We are no longer in BONDAGE OF CORRUPTION, to who the MYSTERY is revealed and do believe “GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH” to REDEEM us. When we BELIEVED, we DIED with Him and  because He ROSE from DEATH, so did we, to live forever in NEWNESS OF LIFE, “Therefore we are BURIED WITH HIM by baptism into death: that like as Christ was RAISED FROM THE DEAD by the glory of the Father, even so we also should WALK in NEWNESS OF LIFE” [Romans 6:4]

4. We are no longer slaves to CORRUPTION, and in us dwells the LIFE of God, “… we have this TREASURE in EARTHEN VESSELS, that the EXCELLENCY of the POWER may be of God, and not of us” [2 Corinthians 4:7] “EARTHEN VESSELS” indicate the fragility of our present BODY, in which we GROAN in PAINS subject to diverse temptations and afflictions of living in a dying world. We are not alone, all creation TRAVAIL and desire to be restored to days of “HEAVEN ON EARTH”, and we, to be clothed with our HEAVENLY BODY, “For we know that the whole CREATION GROANETH and TRAVAILETH in PAIN together until now.  And not only they, but URSELVES also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the ADOPTION, to wit, the REDEMPTION OF OUR BODY” [Romans 8:22-23] If truly we have received Christ, let us make diligent preparations to be approved at Christ’s appearance, when we shall be clothed with glory. We shall be transformed, and at His command all creation shall be changed, “The WOLF also shall DWELL with the LAMB, and the LEOPARD shall lie down with the KID; and the SAL and the young LION and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them” [Isaiah 11:6] Finally, I warn you to beware of some who promise LIBERTY, but are “… SERVANTS OF CORRUPTION: for of whom a MAN IS OVERCOME, of the same is he brought in BONDAGE” [2 Peter 2:19] 

5. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and SAVIOUR, Amen.

LONGSUFFERING is WHOLESOME DOCTRINE; a FRUIT of the SPIRIT and BADGE of HNOUR for those who shall INHERIT EVERLASTING LIFE, "Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all LONGSUFFERING, for a PATTERN TO THEM WHICH SHOULD HEREAFTER BELIEVE ON HIM TO LIFE EVERLASTING" (1 Timothy 1:16)

The situation may look HOPELESS in the face of daunting global DISTRESS, listen, there is HOPE for you, “For there is HOPE FOR A TREE, if it be CUT DOWN, that it will SPROUT AGAIN, ... (Job 14:7_9)

1. Satan, in his bid to TEMPT Jesus, took “… him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD, and the GLORY of them” [Matthew 4:8] Without controversy, there are countless realms, seem and unseen, but only one supreme POTENTATE, who “… CHANGETH the TIMES and the SEASONS he REMOVETH kings, and SETTETH up kings: he giveth WISDOM unto the WISE, and KNOWLEDGE to them that know UNDERSTANDING” [Daniel 2:21] The ONE who “REMOVETH kings, and SETTETH up kings” is God, made known first to His angels in the FIRSTBEGOTTEN and to us as the LAMB of God. [Hebrews 1:6] Some of the angels resisted Him and the world took sides with His foes to make “… war with the LAMB, and the LAMB SHALL OVERCOME them: for he is LORD OF LORDS, and KING OF KINGS: and they that are with him are CALLED, and CHOSEN, and FAITHFUL” Revelation 17:14] In due season, we were CALLED out of KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD, CHOSEN from the foundations of the world to inherit the KINGDOM OF GOD. Let us be FAITHFUL to Him that gave His LIFE for us; WAITCHING and PREPARING for the VOICE, “…  saying, The KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD ARE BECOME the KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever” [Revelation 11:15]

2. We are surrounded by an ETHEREAL world of thrones and kingdoms where Satan and sundry fallen angels hide their shame, “… the great DRAGON was cast out, that old SERPENT, called the DEVIL, and SATAN, which DECEIVETH the whole world: he was CAST OUT into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him” [Revelation 12:9] Though fallen, they retained their angelic powers with which they carved out thrones and kingdoms in the AIR. They turned their attention to men to subjugate in rebellion against God, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against PRINCIPILATIES, against POWERS, against the RULERS of the DARKNESS of this WORLD, against SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS in HIGH PLACES” [Ephesians 6:12] Hidden from sight, kingdoms of the AIR operate through legions of disembodied spirits to MANIPULATE and CONTROL human affairs in rebellion against the purpose of God, “… even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the PRINCES OF THIS WORLD knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” [1 Corinthians 2:7-8] With demonic CIVILIZATIONS and false RELIGION, they draw multitudes away from TRUTH, “Having the UNDERSTANDING DARKENED, being ALIENATED from the LIFE of God through the IGNORANCE that is in them, because of the BLINDNESS of their heart” [Ephesians 4:18] If any man has not the LIFE OF GOD in himself, he is BLINDED and IGNORANT of these things.

3. Earthly kingdoms and civilizations operate in the permissive WILL of God; when man fell in Eden, he lost his DOMINION to his adversary. Four thousand years later, “Jesus answered, My KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD: IF MY KINGDOM WERE OF THIS WORLD, THEN WOULD MY SERVANTS FIGHT, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence” [John 18:36] We were born into KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD, disobedient to God, in subjection to the Prince of the AIR, “… the SPIRIT NOW WORKETH in the CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENC Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the LUSTS of our flesh, fulfilling the DESIRESs of the FLESH and of the MIND; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others” [Ephesians 2:2-3] If by GRACE through FAITH we are BORN AGAIN, we are no longer of “THIS WORLD”, that we should be ENTANGLED in the affairs of this world. We are in the world, as long as we are in this BODY, but we are not of this world; our VALUES, HOPES and ASPIRATIONS are of the KINGDOM of God. If any man professes Christ and for any reason ensnares himself in the affairs of “THIS WORLD”, he deceives himself, “For if after they have escaped the POLLUTIONS of the WORLD through the KNOWLEDGE of the LORD and SAVIOUR Jesus Christ, they are again ENTANGLED THEREIN, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning” [2 Peter 2:20]

4. KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD are doomed, as God had promised, “… saying, Yet once more I SHAKE not the EARTH only, but also HEAVEN. … as of things that are MADE, that those things which cannot be shaken may REMAIN. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken” [Hebrews 12:26-27] The “SHAKING” has commenced; thrones and dominions “MADE” in  ethereal “HEAVENS” are ”SHAKEN” as UNTIMELY FIGS “And the STARS of HEAVEN FELL unto the EARTH, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind” [Revelation 6:13] Present general instability across the globe is more than human error, hordes of hell are actively engaged; they know they have but a SHORT TIME, “… Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the DEVIL IS COME DOWN unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a SHORT TIME” [Revelation 12:12] Beloved, HOLD TIGHT to your FAITH in Christ, preparing with all diligence for His imminent appearance when we shall be glorified “No man that warreth ENTANGLETH HIMSELF with the AFFAIRS of this LIFE; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier” [2 Timothy 2:3-4] Are you BRON AGAIN? Now is the time to turn to the Lord Jesus Christ, for “… the WORLD PASSETH AWAY, and the LUST thereof: but HE that DOETH the WILL of God ABIDETHE FOR EVERr” [1 John 2:16-17] Amen

SOUND DOCTRINE, like SALT, is rendered useless when blended with MERCANTILISM, extreme NATIONALISM, CULTURE, etc., and if "...  SALT have lost his SAVOUR, wherewith shall it be SALTED? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be CAST OUT, and to be trodden under foot of men" Matthew 5:13

1. We live in pretty peculiar times; an exponential increase in KNOWLEDGE but UNDERSTANDING is “SHUT UP”, “But thou, O Daniel, SHUT UP the WORDS, and SEAL the BOOK, even to the TIME of the END: many shall run to and fro, and KNOWLEDGE shall be INCREASED” [Daniel 12:4] The Bible is translated in virtually all languages, the GOSPEL is preached in all nations via the internet, but FAITH is scarce because UNDERSTANDING required to navigate “TIME of the END” is “HID” in the labyrinth of PROPHECY. There is palpable FEAR and CONFUSION because those who should know are ignorant of the PROPHETIC DATELINE, as it is written: “… IF THOU HADST KNOWN, even thou, at least in THIS THY DAY, the things which belong unto thy PEACE! but now they are HID FROM THINE EYES” Luke 19:42] While the world staggers from pandemic to wars and rumours of war, SEASON OF FALSE CHRISTS creeps on the world to add fuel to the fire of confusion; “For there shall arise FALSE CHRISTS, and false prophets, and shall shew great SIGNS and WONDERS; insomuch that, IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, they shall DECEIVE the very ELECT” [Matthew 24:24]

2. Satan was the first FALSE CHRIST; PERFECT in his ways, until SELF INTEREST was found in him, “For thou hast SAID in THINE HEART, I will ASCEND into HEAVEN, I WILL EXALT my THRONE above the STARS of God: I WILL SIT also upon the MOUNT of the CONGREGATION, in the sides of the north: I WILL ASCEND above the heights of the CLOUDS; I WILL be LIKE the MOST HIGH” [Isaiah 14:13-14] Satan nowhere said he wanted to be GREATER than God; his INTENTION was to be “LIKE” God. This ordinarily would be “GOOD INTENTION”, not so with God, it was unpardonable; it turned him to a FALSE CHRIST. Those who replace total SUBMISSION to DIVINE WILL with human WISDOM run contrary to the “…  FOUNDATION of the APOSTLES and PROPHETS, Jesus Christ himself being the chief CORNER STONE; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an HOLY TEMPLE in the Lord” [Ephesians 2:20-22] The ELECT have a sure PATTERN in Christ’s Apostles and Prophets, by which we are built up into “an HOLY TEMPLE”, not so FALSE CHRISTS. They openly profess Anti-Christ but inwardly at variance to the heavenly PATTERN. Whereas FOUNDATION of Apostles was established in faithful men, raised in the likeness of Christ, FALSE CHRISTS rejoice in grandiose temples of brick and mortar, ”… I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ” [1 Corinthians 3:10-11]

3. FALSE CHRISTS are like trees having radiant flowers, but bear FRUIT strange to the farmer “Ye shall KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” [Matthew 7:16] Like bees attracted to FLOWERS, they allure with GIFTS but are divorced from the ANOINTING which is able to raise FRUIT in the likeness of Christ. Listen closely, GIFTS are freely given, ANOINTING is the SEAL of Christ’s approval. Again, GIFTS without ANOINTING is WITCHCRAFT and many were DECEIVED in Samaria by Simon, “… To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This MAN is the great POWER OF GOD. And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had BEWITCHED them with SORCERIES” [Acts 8:9-11] Watch out for Preachers who loom so large over the Church, the flocks no longer see Christ but the Pastor. They celebrate Christ in their liturgy but inwardly are OVERCOME of SELF INTEREST, binging many into cruel bondage with lofty words of vanity, “While they PROMISE THEM LIBERTY, they themselves are the SERVANTS OF CORRUPTION: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in BONDAGE” [2 Peter 2:19] Beloved, beware of those who peddle CATECHISM OF LUST in the name of the Lord, they ENTICE you with what is GOOD, PLEASANT and DESIREABLE to rob you of ETERNAL LIFE. In like manner, Eve was DECEIVED, “… the woman saw that the tree was GOOD for FOOD, and that it was PLEASANT to the EYES, and a tree to be DESIRED to make one WISE, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat …  [Genesis 3:5-7] 

4. No man is too big to fall; Satan was the “ANOINTED CHERUB” and walked “…  in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast PERFECT in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN THEE” [Ezekiel 28:4] In like manner, FALSE CHRISTS were once good Christians, but fell, replacing OBEDIENCE with SACRIFICE as did Saul, “And Saul said unto Samuel, I have SINNED: for I have TRANSGRESSED the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I FEARED the PEOPLE, and OBEYED their VOICE. Now therefore, I pray thee, PARDON my SIN, and TURN AGAIN WITH ME, that I may WORSHIP the LORD” [1 Samuel 15:24-25] We are in the SEASON OF FALSE CHRISTS, a sure SIGN to prepare for the appearance of the Lord. Let the ELECT search their hearts and be vigilant, lest we be entangled in the hypocrisy of those who accommodate DISOBEDIENCE as strategy for Church growth, “…  but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly ESTEEMED AMONG MEN is ABOMINATION in the SIGHT of God” [Luke 16:15] We must not be DECEIVED by a rampant generation of deluded Church-goers and their FALSE CHRISTS, as to be DISTRACTED from the TRUTH and imminent appearance of the Lord, “… for this cause God shall send them STRONG DELUSION, that they should BELIEVE A LIE: That they all might be damned who BELIEVED NOT THE TRUTH, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” [2 Thessalonians 2:11-12]

5. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, amen

If the world  is at PEACE with what you HEAR BELIEVE and DO,  you are BUYING from MERCHANTS OF VAIN GLORY, "For when they speak great swelling WORD OF VANITY, they ALLURE through the LUSTS of the FLESH, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error" 2 Peter 2:18

Many are DECEIVED and are unwitting tools of DECEPTION  in the hands of the DECEIVER, as it is written:"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, DECEIVING , AND BEING DECEIVED"  2 Timothy 3:13

Many are DECEIVED and are unwitting tools of DECEPTION  in the hands of the DECEIVER, as it is written:"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, DECEIVING , AND BEING DECEIVED"  2 Timothy 3:13

1. KEEP YOUR EYES ON ISRAEL, she is the KEY to END-TIME PROPHECY.  Wars all around, a virulent pandemic refuse to go away, famine looms and “Men's HEARTS FAILING them for FEAR, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken” [Luke 21:26] An adulterous generation is gripped with FEAR and desire to know what lies ahead but will not endure SOUND DOCTRINE, but “… after their own LUSTS shall they heap to themselves TEACHERS, having ITCHING EARS  And they shall TURN AWAY their EARS from the TRUTH, and shall be turned unto FABLES” [2 Timothy 4:3-4] The airwaves are jammed with VOICES forecasting the PROPHECY with FACTS, contrary to TRUTH, and many are led astray. Brethren, ISRAEL not recent global troubles, is the ticking CLOCK of PROPHECY, “… unto them were committed the ORACLES of God” [Romans 3:2] Listen carefully, God deals with us according to COVENANT SIGNED and SEALED with ISRAEL, and we being outside the commonwealth of ISRAEL “… and STRANGERS from the COVENANTS OF PROMISE, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made NIGH by the BLOOD of Christ” [Ephesians 2:12-13]

2. KEEP YOUR EYES ON ISRAEL, as the TENDER BRANCH fulfils PROPHECY and you will not be DECEIVED, “Now learn a PARABLE of the FIG TREE; When his BRANCH IS YET TENDER, and PUTTETH FORTH LEAVES, ye know that SUMMER IS NIGH. So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors” [Matthew 24:32-33] Geo-political ISRAEL is the TENDER BRANCH, which sprang up in 1948; a MYSTERY and a sure SIGN to the ELECT of imminent fulfilment of the times of the gentile CHURCH,  “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this MYSTERY, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that BLINDNESS IN PART IS HAPPENED TO ISRAEL, UNTIL the FULNESS of the GENTILES be come” [Romans 11:25] The “FULNESS of the GENTILES” is the time allotted to the BRIDE to prepare to receive the BRIDEGROOM. Those who KEEP THEIR EYES ON ISRAEL and understand correlation between TENDER BRANCH and the DAY for which we have waited for so long, but “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that DAY shall not come, except there come a FALLING AWAY first, and that MAN OF SIN be revealed, the son of perdition ” [2 Thessalonians 2:3-4] Be vigilant, though there be wars,  rumours of war, pandemics, famine, social disorder and climatic upheavals, it is not yet time, until all TARES “FALL AWAY”, in INTER-FAITH BUNDLES and the MAN OF SIN REVEALEDS,”As therefore the TARES are GATHERED and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the END OF THIS WORLD” [Matthew 13:40]

3. KEEP YOUR EYES ON ISRAEL, the “LEAVES” are budding, and “Though the ROOT thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; Yet through the scent of water it will BUD, and BRING FORTH BOUGHS LIKE A PLANT” [Job 14:8-9] SEVENTY YEARS after the TENDER BRANCH sprang up, the NATION-STATE BILL was passed, July 19 2018 by parliament, which effectively made ISRAEL a JEWISH ENTITY; signifying the commencement of LEAVES and her RESTORATION [Matthew 24:32] On one hand, there is a “FALLING AWAY” in the Church to prepare her for TRANSLATION; on the other hand, geo-political ISRAEL is in TRANSITION to her DESTINY. Both MOVES have the same END, the appearance of the MAN OF SIN, who “… shall CONFIRM THE COVENANT with many for ONE WEEK: and IN THE MIDST of the week he SHALL CAUSE the SACRIFICE and the OBLATION to CEASE, … ” [Daniel 9:27] We are at the cusp of the “ONE WEEK”, watch closely as ISRAEL reaches out to forge alliances with her Arab neighbours, but she will not get what she wants until the MAN OF SIN is revealed, “Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, SHEWING HIMSELF THAT HE IS GOD’ [2 Thessalonians 2:4] He is so close, when he does appear, the TENDER BRANCH shall be crowned with LEAVES; he will broker the AGREEMENT that allows ISRAEL to rebuild the TEMPLE.

4. KEEP YOUR EYES ON ISRAEL, WATCHING with PRAYERS for the DAY STAR to arise in your heart, for “We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts” [2 Peter 1:19] Our sure WORD is the PROPHETIC 70 WEEKS apportioned to ISRAEL, to SEAL UP VISION and PROPHECY, as it is written: “SEVENTY WEEKS are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS, and to SEAL up the VISION and PROPHECY, and to ANOINT the MOST HOLY” [Daniel 9:24] The DAY STAR arises in those who KEEP THEIR EYES ON ISREAL, making diligent preparations as befits the BRIDE awaiting the BRIDEGROOM. In the midst of the WEEK, the WICKED ONE will breach the AGREEMENT, when he does, it is time to go, for in the midst of the WEEK, the TRUMPET shall SOUND. “… the DEAD in Christ shall RISE FIRST: Then we which are alive AND REMAIN shall be CAUGHT UP together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” [1 Thessalonians 4:16-17] Beloved, SUMMER is so close, KEEP YOUR EYES ON ISRAEL and you will not be ashamed.
5. If you have not done so, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, amen

There are two CHARACTERS in us separated by the SOUL, i.e., FLESH and SPIRIT and they twain are at WAR, “For the FLESH LUSTETH AGAINST THE SPIRIT , and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are CONTRARY THE ONE TO THE OTHERr: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would” Galatians 5:17

1. PARABLE OF LAZARUS AND THE RICH MAN is the story of a COVETOUS generation, such as we have today, torn between God and Mammon, but “No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. YE CANNOT SERVE GOD and MAMMON” [Luke 16:13] It was addressed chiefly to PHARISEES, the leading religious denomination of His day, “And the PHARISEES also, who were COVETOUS, heard all these things: and they DERIDED HIM. And he said unto them, Ye are they which JUSTIFY YOURSELVES before men; but God KNOWETH YOUR HEARTS: for that which is HIGHLY ESTEEMED AMONG MEN is ABOMINATION in the SIGHT OF GOD” [Luke 16:14-15] The order of PHARISEES evolved through the ages, JUSTIFIED by men and “HIGHLY ESTEMEED” in the Church but God knows His own, therefore, “FEAR NOT, LITTLE FLOCK; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom” [Luke 12:32] As with all PARABLES, there is a KEY and the KEY is the ALL-SEEING EYES of God which SEES through every heart, denying the COVETOUS and in every age receives the RIGHTEOUS to Himself “… God is no RESPECTER OF PERSONS: But in every nation he that FEARETH HIM, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS is ACCEPTED with him” [Acts 10:34-35] 

2.Lazarus, a beggar, destitute of the GOOD THINGS of this world, sat at the gate of the RICH MAN, “… FULL OF SORES, And desiring to be fed with the CRUMBS which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the DOGS came and licked his SORES” [Luke 16:20-21] Lazarus was not accepted of God because he was POOR, but in spite of his POVERTY. Brethren, it is not SIN to be POOR, even as POVERTY is no excuse to relapse into COVETOUSNESS, “…  BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth“ [Luke 12:13] The MESSAGE of the PARABLE, is GODLY CONTENTMENT, a timely rebuke to the PHARISEES of this generation, “… MEN OF CORRUPT MINDS, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. But GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT IS GREAT GAIN” [1 Timothy 6:5] Without controversy, the GOSPEL first preached by Jesus Christ and passed to us by the Apostles is anchored on GODLY CONTENTMENT, “In HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE, which God, that cannot lie, PROMISED before the world began” [Titus 1:2] CONTENTMENT is by no means resignation to PENURY but an INWARD SATISFACTION in Christ, grounded in HOPE of ETERNAL LIFE. Beware, therefore, of latter-day PHARISEES, for “… through COVETOUSNESS shall they with FEIGNED WORDS MAKE MERCHANDISE OF YOU: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not” [2 Peter 2:3]

3. The RICH MAN had all the GOOD THINGS of this world, “… was CLOTHED IN PURPLE and fine linen, and FARED SUMPTUOUSLY every day” [Luke 16:19] The RICH MAN did not end up in “TORMENTS” because he was RICH, but in spite of his possessions. God has nothing against the WEALTHY, but holds the RICH responsible for His riches, “But thou shalt REMEMBER THE LORD thy God: for it is HE THAT GIVETH THEE POWER TO GET WEALTH, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” [Deuteronomy 8:18] Those who have the riches of this world are indebted to God to share with the POOR, doing do the WORK of God, but some who are RICH are not so inclined but  “… the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they REGARD NOT THE WORK OF THE LORD, neither consider the operation of his hand” [Isaiah 5:12] This RICH MAN broke the GOLDEN RULE of religion, neglected the POOR but surrounded himself “DOGS”. Let those who have the riches of this world beware of DOGS in priestly robes, who make pretenses of piety for earthly goods. Like their predecessors, present day PHARISEES eat with the RICH and extort the POOR, LICKING THEIR SORES, “Woe unto you, scribes and PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! for ye DEVOUR WIDOW’S HOUSES, and for a pretence MAKE LONG PRAYER: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation” [Matthew 23:14]

4. The LESSON of the PARABLE is the certainty of JUDGMENT, “… it is APPOINTED unto men once TO DIE, but after this the JUDGMENT” [Hebrews 9:27] No doubt, Lazarus had his FAITH stretched to breaking point, as many do today, but held on “And it came to pass, that the BEGGAR DIED, and was CARRIED BY ANGELS into Abraham's bosom: the RICH MAN ALSO DIED and was buried. And in HELL he lift up his eyes, being in torments, …” [Luke 16:22-23] Let no man deceive you, as long as we are in this body some will be RICH and others POOR, whether RICH or POOR, Christ in you is the assurance of riches of His GLORY, “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the HOPE OF HIS CALLING, and what the RICHES of the GLORYof his inheritance in the saints” [Ephesians 1:18] The RICH will be TRIED with what he has and the POOR by what he has not; beloved, hold firmly to FAITH, “That the TRIAL OF YOUR FAITH, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and GLORY AT THE APPEARING OF JESUS CHRIST” [1 Peter 1:7] His Coming is imminent, let the BRIDE, both RICH and POOR do away with COVETOUSNESS, “For we BROUGHT NOTHING INTO THIS WORLD, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having FOOD and RAIMENT let us be THEREWITH CONTENT” [1 Timothy 6:7-8]

5. If you have not done so, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, amen

YOKE is the OPPRESSIVE POWER of BONDAGE, symbolized by palpable FEAR as the world rushes headlong into the LAST DAYS. BREAK THE DAMNED YOKE, "For God hath not given us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND" 2 Timothy 1:7

1. With war in Ukraine and threat of nuclear HOLOCAUST, it is hard to imagine a future of global PEACE, but it is coming; the PEACE of DEATH and HELL. Before it comes, Ukraine shall be overtaken by RUMOURS of more WARS, even as COVID-19  was unceremoniously shoved off the headlines and FAMINE looms, “MEN’S HEARTS FAILING THEM FOR FEAR, and for looking after those THINGS which are COMING ON THE EARTH: for the POWERS OF HEAVEN shall be SHAKEN” [Luke 21:26] The “THINGS COMING ON THE EARTH”, referred as the “POWERS OF HEAVEN” are the FOUR HORSES mentioned in Revelation 6:1-8, as they make landfall on earth. The first to hit the ground is the WHITE HORSE, by whom many are DECEIVED, but not the ELECT [Matthew 24:24] RED and BLACK HORSES followed in quick succession, the world is gripped with FEAR of ARMAGEDDON. Take note, ISRAEL, not UKRAINE is the route to ARMAGEDDON. Before then, Scriptural PROPHECY foretell ESCALATION of DISTRESS, but when it seems all hope is lost, PEACE shall be restored by DECEIT to reveal the MAN OF SIN, “For when they shall say, PEACE and SAFETY; then SUDDEN DESTRUCTION cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape” [1 Thessalonians 5:3]

2. When the first FOUR SEALS were broken in Revelation 6:1-8, POWER was given to Satan to take PEACE away from the earth, “… and POWER was given to HIM that SAT thereon to take PEACE FROM THE EARTH, and that they should KILL one another: and there was given unto him a GREAT SWORD” [Revelation 6:4] The one who “SAT” on the RED HORSE and took PEACE from the earth was Satan. He started out on the WHITE HORSE to conquer by DECEPTION, shifted to the RED and BLACK HORSES and shall appear on earth on the PALE HORSE, “… and HIS NAME THAT SAT on him was DEATH, and HELL FOLLOWED with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to KILL with SWORD, and with HUNGER, and with DEATH, and with the BEASTS of the earth” [Revelation 6:8] Note, only the RIDER on the PALE has a name, the other RIDERS had no names; they are apparitions of DEATH and Satan is “… him that had the POWER OF DEATH, that is, the DEVIL;” [Hebrews 2:14] The WHITE, RED and BLACK HORSES are “SHAKEN” from celestial regions and fallen to earth. They are the unseen hands behind present global tensions and instability. They run and shall continue to run wild on earth, sowing FEAR and many shall be DISTRACTED from the FAITH, until they merge in the PALE HORSE and the MAN OF SIN revealed, “LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that MAN OF SIN BE REVEALED, the son of perdition” [2 Thessalonians 2:3]

3. The MAN on the PALE HORSE is Satan, the same who took PEACE away from the earth, shall pacify the world by DECEIT. He has prepared for himself a BODY for this purpose, through who he shall exercise the POWER and DARK WISDOM of Satan and by who many shall be led away from the FAITH, “And the BEAST which I saw was like unto a LEOPARD, and his feet were as the feet of a BEAR, and his mouth as the mouth of a LION: and the DRAGON GAVE HIM HIS POWER, and his SEAT, and great AUTHORITY” [Revelation 13:2] He is here called BEAST, he is both a MAN and the kingdom of darkness rolled in one and by him the raging HORSES are quieted. When he shall come, and very soon too, he shall through CRAFT and NAKED FORCE bring a semblance of PEACE. He will broker PEACE between Israel and Palestinians, bring diverse religions to one table and will restore trade. A world famished by PESTILENCE, WAR and FAMINE easily falls in love with the DECEIVER and worships the BEAST, “… saying, Who is like unto the BEAST? who is able to make war with him?” [Revelation 13:4] While we await the MAN OF SIN, the HORSES continue to run wild, signifying the “BEGINNING OF SORROWS”, “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be FAMINES, and PESTILENCES, and EARTHQUAKES, in divers places. All these are the BEGINNING OF SORROWS” [Matthew 24:7-8] Beloved, though this prognosis be bitter, it is TRUE, “WATCH YE, STAND FAST in the faith, quit you like men, BE STRONG” [1 Corinthians 16:13]

4. Remember, Satan spoke through the Serpent in Eden, a humanoid creature now extinct; this time, he is coming through a man like you and I, “And all that dwell upon the earth shall WORSHIP HIM, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” [Revelation 13:8] While he yet gloats over his conquest and it seems he cannot be stopped, the Lord shall appear to receive His BRIDE, “For the LORD HIMSELF SHALL DESCEND from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST: Then we which are alive and remain shall be CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” [1 Thessalonians 4:16-17] Then shall the WICKED ONE bare his fangs in extreme cruelty, as the wrath of God falls on his kingdom and “PEACE” turns to SUDDEN DESTRUCTION. Beloved, be not DSTRACTED, as to be caught UNAWARES, “And WHEN THESE THINGS BEGIN TO COME TO PASS, then LOOK UP, and lift up your heads; for your REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH” [Luke 21:28] 

5. Friend, Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, and escape SUDDEN DESTRUCTION

Those who pour OLD WINE into NEW VESSELS deny the DEATH of the TESTATOR, and forfeit the INHERITANCE,  "For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth"  Hebrews 9:16-17

1. WINDS OF HARVEST are blowing across the land, some two thousand years after the SEED fell into the ground and DIED to raise many SONS in His LIKENESS, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a CORN of wheat FALL INTO THE GROUND and DIE, it abideth alone: but if it DIE, it BRINGETH FORTH MUCH FRUIT” [John 12:24] The SEED is the WORD, which was with God in the beginning and is God, “And the WORD was made FLESH, and dwelt among us, …” [John 1:14] The SEED was hung on the Cross to DIE and by His RESURRECTION, we received NEWNESS OF LIFE, “… first the BLADE, then the EAR, after that the full CORN in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the HARVEST is come” [Mark 4:28-29] Now, the “HARVEST IS COME”, but there are TARES among the WHEAT. God knew all along of TARES and who sowed them, but waited till HARVEST, when He shall send WINDS OF HARVEST to separate SHEEP from GOATS “Let both GROW TOGETHER UNTIL THE HARVEST: and in the time of HARVEST, I will say to the REAPERS, Gather ye together first the TARES, and BIND them in bundles to BURN them: but gather the WHEAT into my barn” [Matthew 13:30]

2. WINDS OF HARVEST go before the Lord to prepare the BRIDE, “… a GLORIOUS CHURCH, not having SPOT, or WRINKLE, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without BLEMISH” [Ephesians 5:27] TARES are SPOTS and WRINKLES among the WHEAT; they are in the Church but not of the SEED sown on the Cross, “The ENEMY that sowed them is the DEVIL; the HARVEST is the END of the WORLD; and the REAPERS are the ANGELS” [Matthew 13:39] WINDS OF HARVEST is the ministry of ANGELS, SHAKING the foundations of the earth to effect the WILL of God and “ … the REMOVING of those things that are SHAKEN, as of things that are made, that those things which CANNOT BE SHAKEN MAY REMAIN” [Hebrews 12:26-27] HARVEST-TIME ANGELS are at work, rushing as mighty WINDS to SHAKE all structures of human confidence; those who set their TRUST in earthly things are “SHAKEN” and pulled out by the roots as TARES. Beloved, let every man examine himself; TARES, by all outward appearance look so much as WHEAT, having a form of godliness but lacking indwelling SPIRIT of Christ, “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” [Philippians 2:13] Surely, the times are perilous; let us be patient, the Lord will make a “SHORT WORK” of gathering the TARES, prepare the WHEAT for HARVEST and we shall be received into glory, “ For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth” [Romans 9:28]

3. WINDS OF HARVEST signal the home run of the FOUR HORSES in Revelation 6:1-8. PEACE is taken from the earth and “Men's hearts failing them for FEAR, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the POWERS of heaven SHALL BE SHAKEN” [Luke 21:26] The WHITE HORSE led the charge with the LIE and many are DECEIVED to deny God was manifest in Jesus Christ, “And for this cause God shall send them STRONG DELUSION, that they should BELIEVE A LIE: That they all might be damned who believed not the TRUTH, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” [2 Thessalonians 2:11-12] Sniff the air, STRONG DELUSION is rife; a form of godliness that denies the POWER of God to manifest the righteousness of Christ in man, “For they being IGNORANT OF GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not SUBMITTED themselves unto the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD” [Romans 10:3] The FOUR HORSES, running together spread FEAR, stripping many once were clothed in white linen of righteousness NAKED in the manner of the young man in the Mark 14:51-52; he fled in FEAR when Jesus was arrested, “… And he left the LINEN CLOTH, and FLED from them NAKED” [Mark 14:51-52] Listen closely, though WINDS OF HARVEST blow hard and harsh, I charge you not to lose your “WHITE LINEN; it is your BOARDING PASS, “And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saint”  [Revelation 19:8]

4. WINDS OF HARVEST melts wax but hardens clay; Brethren, we are not exempted from present torrid realities, but “The Lord knoweth how to DELIVER the GODLY out of TEMPTATIONS, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished” [2 Peter 2:9] We do not crumble, but are renewed in strength by FAITH in SURE PROPHECY, as it is written: “And when THESE THINGS begin to come to pass, then LOOK UP, and LIFT UP YOUR HEADS; for your REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH” [Luke 21:28] Beloved, as “THESE THINGS” swirl around us, SEARCH, STUDY and DO the Scriptures and you will not be blown away by WINDS OF HARVEST. Avoid FOOLISH ARGUMENTS occasioned by some who place the MARK before TRANSLATION, “For the ROD OF THE WICKED SHALL NOT REST UPON THE LOT OF THE RIGHTEOUS; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity” [Psalms 15:3] Listen carefully, TARES must “FALL AWAY”, then comes the MAN OF SIN and in the midst, the ELECT are TRANSLATED, “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a FALLING AWAY first, and that MAN OF SIN BE REVEALED, the son of perdition” [2 Thessalonians 2:3] if you must SUFFER A WHILE, HOLD ON “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have SUFFERED A WHILE, make you PERFECT, stablish, strengthen, SETTLE YOU” [1 Peter 5:10]

We are HEIRS OF GOD by FAITH in Jesus Christ as were JEWS under the LAW, disabled  by imperfection from inheriting the PROMISE "Now I say, That the HEIR, as long as he is a CHILD, differeth nothing from a SERVANT, though he be lord of all" Galatians 4:1

ABRAHAM'S BLESSING is not MONEY or material GAIN, but the PROMISE of the HOLY SPIRIT received by FAITH in Jesus Christ, "That the BLESSING of ABRAHAM might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the SPIRIT through FAITH" Galatians 3:14,16

1. SPIRIT OF ELIJAH is the ministry of angels standing in God’s presence to prepare His WAY. When Elijah said, “… As the LORD God of Israel liveth, BEFORE WHOM I STAND, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word”, he spoke with authority of holy angels to precipitate a REVIVAL in Israel [1 Kings 17:1] Even so, he was a man; though the  SPIRIT was willing, the FLESH was weak, “… and HE REQUESTED for himself that HE MIGHT DIE; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers” [1 Kings 19:4] John, the Baptist, came in the SPIRIT and POWER of Elijah: he kindled a REVIVAL, set Israel on the path of REFORMATION and turned “… the HEARTS of the FATHERS to the CHILDREN, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to MAKE READY A PEOPLE PREPARED for the Lord” [Luke 1:17] John turned the HEARTS of the “FATHERS” to the SON, but it was not for him to RESTORE. This is the generation to be RESTORED by the SPIRIT OF ELIJAH, the HEARTS of the CHILDREN shall be RESTORED to their Apostolic FATHERS, as foretold “Behold, I WILL SEND YOU ELIJAH the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the HEART of the FATHERS to the CHILDREN, and the HEART of the CHILDREN to their FATHERS, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse” [Malachi 4:5-6]

2. There is no doubt the Church increased in numbers over the years, but fell asleep in the SPIRIT, and “While the bridegroom tarried, they ALL SLUMBERED and SLEPT” [Matthew 25:5] We are the SLUMBERING generation whose HEARTS must be REVIVED by the SPIRIT and POWER of ELIJAH “Wherefore he saith, AWAKE thou that SLEEPEST, and ARISE from the DEAD, and CHRIST SHALL GIVE THEE LIGHT” [Ephesians 5:14] Those who heard the VOICE of John came to the WILDERNESS with one thing in mind, REPENTANCE, “Then WENT OUT TO HIM JERUSALEM, and all JUDAEA, and all the region round about JORDAN, And were baptized of him in Jordan, CONFESSING THEIR SINS” [Matthew 3:5-6] The same SPIRIT, like a mighty rushing wind is blowing through the Church and “HEDGES” to REVIVE the BRIDE and usher the appearance of the Lord. It is the same SPIRIT but many VOICES, CRYING in the WILDERNESS, “REPENT ye therefore, and be converted, that your SINS may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” [Acts 3:19] Though the VOICES be many and in diverse languages, the MESSAGE is the same, as foretold, “…  I WILL COME again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” [John 14:1-3] Beloved, it is MIDNIGHT HOUR, “GO YE OUT” with REPENTANCE to meet the Lord in the WILDERNESS, And at MIDNIGHT there was a CRY made, Behold, the BRIDEBROOM COMETH; GO YE OUT TO MEET HIM” [Matthew 25:5-6]
 
3. Jews who came to John in the WILDERNESS saw neither ALTAR nor TABLES to receive offerings, but a PROPHET armed with sharp knife of the WORD to circumcise their HEARTS, “… with the CIRCUMCISION MADE WITHOUT HANDS, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ“ [Colossians 2:11] They came from among Pharisees, Sadducees and Herodians, so are we; Baptists, Pentecostals, Catholics, Anglicans, etc., drawn to the PROMISE of His Coming by the SPIRIT OF ELIJAH to be “BROKEN”, CONVERTED and REFORMED “That he might present it to himself a glorious CHURCH, not having SPOT, or WRINKLE, or any such thing; but that it should be HOLY and without BLEMISH” [Ephesians 5:27] We are all BRETHREN in the WILDERNESS, there are no overbearing MASTERS; the WORD is Lord over all, burning and breaking down walls of sectarian DOCTRINES, as it is written: “Is not my word like as a FIRE? saith the LORD; and like a HAMMER that BREAKETH the ROCK in pieces?” [Jeremiah 23:29] When we submit to the WORD of TRUTH, we are BROKEN, our parochial prejudices are purged and we are CONVERTED into one BODY, “For we being MANY ARE ONE BREAD, and ONE BREAD: for we are all partakers of that ONE BREAD” [1 Corinthians 10:17] We, who were once marred by DECEIT and HYPOCRISIES of man-made doctrines are REFORMED by the POTTER who formed us for His own purpose, “And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the POTTER:. so HE MADE IT AGAIN ANOTHER VESSEL, AS IT SEEMED GOOD to the potter to make it” [Jeremiah 18:4]

4. The end of our SALVATION is RESTORATION in the likeness of Jesus Christ.  First, we are REVIVED and GATHERED by the SPIRIT OF ELIJAH, then BROKEN and REFORMED into the true BODY of Christ, “And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the BODY is, thither will the EAGLES be gathered together” [ Luke 17:37] We are as Israel in the WILDERNESS, EAGLES that should be raised in the likeness of the GREAT EAGLE, “Till we all come in the unity of the FAITH, and of the KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT MAN, unto the measure of the stature of the FULNES of Christ” [Ephesians 4:13] When we come of age in FAITH and KNOWLEDGE of Him, the Lord shall pour His SPIRIT on us; the CHILDREN shall be RESTORED to the mandate of their Apostolic FATHERS, “Until the SPIRIT POURED UPON US from on high, and the WILDERNESS be a FRUITFUL FIELD, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest” [Isaiah 32:15] We are the FRUITFUL FIELD, the HARVEST of EAGLES that shall be TRANSLATED at the appearance of Jesus Christ. HEAR His VOICE today, and “…  COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” [Revelation 18:4]
