Sin
I remember as a kid, there was nothing quite as exciting to see than Barnum & Bailey Circus coming to town. I was beside myself, hoping we would be able to go and see all the acts under the Big Tent, all the rides to be enjoyed, the food, and most of all the Cotton Candy and Sodas. I also remember that all my Friends were in the same boat as I was, and we would spend all our time talking about the things we wanted to see and do.

The only thing standing in our way was the cost. We all belonged to Military Families, so money was always tight. Somehow and some way, my Mom and Dad had expected the event and had put some money aside for us all to go. I was totally thrilled!

Once the day came, we jumped in our old Buick and went to the Circus! The music was blaring and the rides were running; and I was allowed two rides, one Cotton Candy and a ticket to go inside the Big Tent with my Dad. We had seats on the second row, right in the middle! I cannot tell you how amazed I was watching all the acts, my mouth dry, as the Trapeze artists flew through the air so gracefully. And everything was more than I had expected – until the clowns came out, that is.

At first they were funny, and I giggled out loud. Then two of them came right up in front of me, leering through their make-believe funny faces…I found them to be horrifying! I could see their painted-on smiles, and yet their real smiles did not exist…it was a false smile; and then they had a rather heinous, almost evil laugh! I backed up in fear and hid behind my Dad; all the while He was telling me it was all in fun.

To this very day, I do not like clowns of any kind; they are a deception, a false funny face. It would appear that most kids like clowns and their antics. I would rather not see them at all. In my mind, they are a sinister lot of make-believe. In almost every case, I do not like being “Lied to” in such a way. I prefer the truth. I would have to guess that has followed me in many areas of my Life; and yet, as a little kid, I tried to lie to my Parents. They would always catch me in my Lies, and there would be a consequence each and every time.

In high school, I remember going to church one Sunday where I read the following Passage of Scripture:

Luke 21:8 “And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.“

Galatians 6:7 “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.“

As with these verses, the Lord did not want me to enjoy clowns, much less anyone that would Lie to me or anyone else. And as we begin our walk in these “The Last Days,” we find that there are Liars-par-excellence everywhere!

Sadly enough, we find them in the Pulpits all around the country. They Preach about Wealth and monetary gain, the “Prosperity Gospel,” and others love to Preach about how wonderful each and every one us is – when every Born-Again Believer already knows we are as “Filthy Rags” before such a Righteous and Just Lord God! They know we should be groveling in the dirt, hiding our faces and begging for mercy from the Lord! And every single bit of our being is overflowing with our own Sin.

My Readers already know I write a great deal of articles talking about our Sin and its effect on our lives, how it separates us from the Lord and destroys our relationship with HIM.

We know that if our Sin is not covered by the Blood of Jesus Christ shed on HIS Cross, we will spend Eternity in Hell and then the Lake of Fire. We know that these places were originally created for the punishment of Satan and his ilk; it was not meant for us. And we know that Satan and his ilk are Sin. They espouse everything and anything that is evil! We also know that the majority of the world will follow Satan and his Ilk…straight into Hell! It is because of this that I spend so much time writing from the Word of God about Sin.

Our Sin is the one thing that stands between us and the Lord God. It is the one thing that will doom you and me forever! And as I read the Word of God, I can plainly see this: it is the fulcrum point of our entire lives and one that must be acknowledged and dealt with.

I know that most people do not want to talk, much less think about this subject matter. Problem is, the Time is so very short before the Rapture! Our decision on our own Sin is the one thing that will determine whether we go to be with the Lord in the Rapture…or we are Left Behind!

As “Watchers on the Wall” we see the Dawn of that day. We see that the Lord is about to make a very quick appearance and take the True Believers away from this earth to be with HIM in Heaven. Anything other than going in the Rapture means they will likely have to go through Death. According to the Word of God, there will be a great many that will have to die here on earth, even those that come to the Lord after the Rapture.

Just between you and me, I have real hard time trying to imagine how scary and fearful the Tribulation will be for anyone – to witness firsthand the Wrath of the Lord God on the people of this world!

And then I begin to understand that this world is not our home; it is so greatly filled with Sin and death! Every act of evil is being played out every day right before our eyes! The most heinous of acts of evil are everywhere and being committed by ordinary people, caught in the clutches of Satan and his ilk. They are deceived beyond common sense, doing things that they know are wrong, dumbed down by the words of so many people that have hearts of evil. Does this make more sense to us today about the “Great Delusion of God?”

2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 “And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 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.”

Is this scary or not? The “Damned” will be destroyed! That, my Friends, is so serious that I have no other words! Can you say, that is exactly everything that is taking place right now…today…all across this globe? It is right before our eyes, and it is not something any of us…are able to miss. It is absolutely everywhere, in our Government and even our churches! This, my Friends, is Satan already at work destroying everything that we once saw as good – and for many – things that were called Noble, even Sacred!

Matthew 24:37-39 “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.“

This not anything to sneeze at or to take lightly! In the days of Noah, before the flood, everyone was busy doing everything normally. If you look closer though, the Sin of the World was so bad, it reached the Lord God!

Genesis 6:5-7 “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.“

I do not believe that we missed a single thing here…God hates Sin! God hated our Sin back in the days of Noah, and God hates the Sin today. I believe that the Sin of mankind has reached the Lord God once again; and this time…it is going to bring the destruction of mankind – not with a flood, but this time with Fire! As we all know…Fire destroys everything. Or maybe you know nothing of Sodom and Gomorrah! Maybe that would be a good place to research and find out for yourself (Genesis 19).

My Friends, we must understand something here. Again, God hates Sin…our Sin! We either get our Sin taken care of by Jesus Christ and HIS Blood…or we will die continually in Hell because of our Sin. This is an Individual decision, and no one is able to change that for you…it is all on YOU. It will be…one way or the other…Jesus Christ or not…Heaven or Hell and then the Lake of Fire. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. YOU CHOOSE JUST FOR YOU. Jesus Christ…or Satan!

Just so you know, Satan and his ilk…HATE…YOU. Why do you think they want to make sure you go to Hell with them?

Our Sin…I am going to continue to write on this subject matter for as long as I am able…It is that Important! You are correct…God IS a Loving God…yet HE is a more Just and Righteous God! Go ahead and enjoy your Churches and how Holy they make you feel. Just make sure you are forgiven of your Sin by the Blood of Jesus Christ…shed on HIS CROSS AT CALVARY. Your name MUST be found in the “Lamb’s Book of Life”…otherwise no Heaven! Just saying y’all…give it some thought.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.“

End-Times 
So…I’ve been watching the news lately, or at least the news that appears to be truth. Again, we see diseases running rampant everywhere, like in the public swimming pools…Crypto. Or we may hear about Ebola raising its ugly head in some African Country. We still battle MRSA in our hospitals and even new ones that seem able to resist our Antibiotics. We hear about metal particles in our food, as well as many other horrifying objects like bugs and animal parts. These are but a few, and it’s to the point that we fear Restaurants and other eateries…public areas we thought would always be safe.

And these are but the small things, things that we thought we could control and abolish. How messed up is that… right?

I hear now and then, more so on the internet, how so many people do not read or believe the Bible, God’s Holy Word to us. That always makes me wonder about these people, mostly because everyone believes they have such high levels of Intelligence. I am always moved by this, because the Holy Word of God reveals that in these days, the Last Days, these things will take place.

End-Times – Matthew 24:7 “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.”

These, most of the Bible Students will recognize, are wars and conflicts in most of the world. And still as yet, the majority of people everywhere do not know why…the real reason why! How readable a fix there is, yet why are so many not willing to listen and take serious note?

End-Times – Luke 21:11 “There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and end-times pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.”

I underlined pestilences above, but do you understand these “Pestilences” come from other people – people that fail to bathe themselves or use good hygiene, that care so little for anyone else around them? Now if you should ask them about this, “Oh no…it’s not me!” This is mostly due to the fact that they fail to understand anything about their bodies, nor will you ever find them reading about personal Health. We are constantly bombarded by Bacteria and Viruses that invade our bodies. Please view yourself as a “Bag of fluid and bones.”

Just how easily are we invaded by these Bacteria and Viruses?

We already know that Bacteria are present in our bodies, yet these bacteria are kept in check, to maintain a certain level so as not to be toxic to us. Staphylococcus aureus is on our hands, in our nose and throat, and into our Lungs; again it is kept in check. Personally, I believe this is the work of the Holy Spirit! And this is to only name at least one; but what about E Coli in our stool? Do you remember Mononucleosis …Hmm? And the young do not worry about STDs unless they get them! Are you now worried any more than say…yesterday?

Then we have TB (Tuberculosis) coming around again…right? How many of you own Cats? Do you know about “Cat Scratch Fever?” Then we have the ever-present bugs, Mosquitoes, Horseflies, Spiders and Scorpions. How about now…worried yet? Of course, many of these things were almost eradicated after the introduction of Antibiotics. But we have used Antibiotics so frequently that many of these are no longer working for us!

We have gotten to the point that so many bacteria have been taken care of through Antibiotic therapy that now it’s at the point that Medical Professionals are wondering if this therapy is modifying bacteria –  to even think maybe a new species of bacteria has spawned. Think in terms of “Bacterial Modification!” Now, how about that idea of our bodies being “Bags of fluid and bone”? It’s scary to say the least!

Parents, how about your children being sick, throwing up, diarrhea, also everything in their little noses. Do you throw their dirty clothes in the Washer? Of course you do; warm or hot water then becomes a haven for the growth of bacteria. Did you cleanse the washer after that? Or did you simply do another load of wash afterwards? Hmm…bacteria onto your clothes. And so now you wonder how you ended up sick too. The new introduction of pestilences. “Well…I can’t think of everything ya know!”

We could also name Dishwashing as well. “I am very clean when it comes to cooking and eating things!” I mean, you use Dawn liquid and you scrub everything…right? I just wonder if you know just how much bacteria is still on your dishes, even after the dishwasher! “Well, I use Clorox.” That’s wonderful; you’re moving in the correct direction. Did you know that Clorox will not kill all bacteria? We could go on and on, but I believe you get the idea.

So now, let’s move to sometime later. The Rapture has taken place; everything is moving back to normal, or so it would seem for the moment. According to the Word of God, the restraining power of the Holy Spirit will have been removed by now. Bugs and vermin are everywhere; fleas will become rampant, along with ticks and other unwelcomed guests. How many gallons of repellent will be required to keep them at bay, and for how long will they last? How many gallons of Clorox will be needed just to keep the Bacteria and viruses at bay, as well?

Hmm…Seems thing are getting way out of hand…right? I would believe many will be getting to the point of – it’s bigger than me; can’t fight it anymore. End-Times? Ya think?

Please don’t listen to me or anyone else that spreads the Word of God…you know better…right? Just to let you know, you have seven years left…that’s 7…and things ain’t going to get any better. You’re an Intelligent person, as are all the people of the world! You already know what’s best for you. You can do this. Well….no, ya can’t. That is what the Bible says!

All those church-goers, those Dudley-Do-Rights, Bible-thumpers and the like, screaming their vile ideas as if that were truth. Then again, if you really think about it….they aren’t here any longer…right? Of course, you never gave the Bible a single moment’s thought; you know more than God does, right? “I ain’t never seen God; probably doesn’t exist! Them Holy rollers are full of it; I’m glad they are gone!” Just seven small years more…but who cares as long as I’m having fun! Is your fun, truly “FUN”? Or are you just kidding yourself? Just a question y’all.

End-Times
If the world is having so much FUN…then why are there wars? Are wars FUN? Why is there Pestilence… is that FUN too? Do you ever get the feeling someone hates you with the greatest hate there is? That is NOT God! I keep saying and writing these same verses for a reason:

Matthew 11:28-30 “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.“

Life does not have to be difficult and hard. No one in this world wants to be hungry or sick; no one wants to be helpless. Reread the verse above and then think about it. Are you indeed…Right with the Lord? Here’s one more verse for you to think on:

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.“
