I awakened this morning and got a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios, opened my laptop, being careful not to drop any milk on the keyboard. The opening page said – Israel surrounded by a ring of fire. Then it disappeared, and I never saw it again. But then again, my computer always does strange things.
However, I was reminded in that brief moment what Jesus said in Luke 21:20-24
“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.”
I know – I knoooow that this has already happened during the times of Babylon, as some would say, BUT why couldn’t it happen again just before the rapture? In fact – it just seems logical with all the other signs swirling around us. But alas, we can all justify our inconsistencies, or should I say interpretations. (I’m just a simple man without a degree from a cemetery.) Pun intended.
This probably means that our presidential election may be put on hold after Joe Biden declares a national emergency. It’s the perfect situation for doing so. But this could bring about civil war. (The cunning old rascal is a coward of the first order.)
If I were you, I’d get all my affairs in order, repent, and head for the hills, literally.
From here on, most of us will be on pins and needles – especially non-believers (Nones). We who are believers may recognize this as the beginning war of Gog and Magog, and I, for one, am with you. However, we must be careful to not panic or to cause panic.
The church has been downgrading the coming storm by not mentioning the implications of faulty governance. “We can’t mix politics with religion,” they say. Why do we even have people in high places who profess to hate our country, even want to destroy it, and aren’t afraid to say so? How incredible. If I had the money, I would pay for a one-way ticket to a third-world country of their liking.
In any case, I forged ahead, determined to find a place to set up my baptismal tent, but first went to Wal-Mart, where I knew they had pop-up tents for a reasonable price. Next, I would continue to scout beach locations to set up. In doing so, I also handed out little red Bibles and urged strangers to repent tactfully and without hesitation while there. I got what I came for and stopped next to get a Slurpy at a nearby gas station. There, I met a little family of four. They were clean-cut people, and I was led to say something to the man. “Pardon me, sir, are you aware of the impending war in the Middle East?”
“Yes, I am; in fact, it is raging right now.”
“Well, I’m out here urging people to repent and seek God’s face while there is still time.”
“I talk to Him all the time.”
“I’m glad to hear it; are you a Christian?”
“No, I’m a Jew.”
Then we parted ways. I never expected that, but that’s what it’s like in talking to strangers.
Another stranger was a long-bearded older man who looked like a motorcycle rider. As he ambled toward me wearing raggedy clothes, I asked, “Are you a Christian?
“Yes, I am.”
I noticed he was wearing a necklace that at first looked like a cross, but on further inspection, it was a skull and crossbones. I gave him my spiel and wished him well. People can be strange – but hopefully he will be convicted by the verses inside the little book.
Continuing, I decided to film the little journey on the tram to the open restaurant on the beach. Because of the upcoming storm, there weren’t many people on the ride, so I rode with the driver alone up front and was able to get some good footage.
The driver was a clean-cut young man in his early twenties who was very personable as well. Naturally, I told him what I was doing and why I was there. He seemed very interested in what I had to say.
“Are you a Christian?” I asked.
“I used to be,” He replied.
“What do you mean?”
“Well, my dad was Catholic, and my mom didn’t believe in anything. I went to a Protestant church when I was a kid – to summer camp, actually. But it all faded away as I grew older.”
This all sounded very familiar, and I dug deeper. “Were you ever baptized?”
“I don’t think I ever was.”
Knowing we would soon be parting ways, I handed him a little Bible and said, “Here, read this and tell me what you think?” Then I continued probing, “You seem to be a clean-cut guy with great potential.”
Griff said, “Well, I’m on a self-improvement quest…” Instantly, I knew why I encountered this young man. God had set it up in what I call a divine appointment!
I told him of my transformation and how, upon receiving Christ, He changed my life for the better. No smoking, no drinking, no drugs (which I never did anyway). Jesus is truly the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
I told him he could be my first to be baptized. Halleluia!
