I wonder how many people see Jesus Christ as a pacifist or merely a good person with the best of intentions. They go to the movies and see The Passion of the Christ or any other similar film, and then they walk out of the theater and forget everything they just saw. They may even say, that was a good flick. So calloused is our society…when what they saw should have broken their hearts.

The Phoenicians first used death be crucifixion and the Romans simply perfected it. Not only that, the Romans felt there had to be a way to shorten the period of the execution process. What most are not willing to accept these days is how horrible the Romans actually were in this process. How odd is it that the very government that sits in the Vatican, is the same government that crucified our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

“Well…that was some two thousand years ago, things are different now!” Really? You may want to return to the Scriptures and read and then notice how significant the execution of Jesus Christ really was and IS today. No one is ever able to murder anyone and simply walk away from it.

Let’s get a few things straight here because I have never been the type of person that cuts the cake any other way, than right down the middle. The TRUTH is the Truth, it’s that simple.

There is the Trinity, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, yet…they are all one God. So…the crucifixion of Jesus Christ…was the crucifixion of God…period! Jesus Christ was the part of this Trinity, He took on a human body and came here to earth.

God…willingly…came to earth in a human body…He willingly “sacrificed” His body on a cruel Roman Cross…to save you and me. What part of this do you NOT understand?

This IS the exact same God who created absolutely everything and that includes you and me.

What part of the Lord Jesus Christ’s life deserved death? NONE OF IT! Jesus Christ was absolutely innocent, there was NO wrong or sin in Him…ever!

Understanding this, we must understand, why HE died.

To hasten the death of the convicted, they were beaten mercilessly—almost to death—but the Cross was the ultimate end. Jesus Christ was beaten so badly, He wasn’t able to carry His own Cross and so they appointed another man to carry that Cross for Him.

The exact same people that held palms and sang songs for Jesus on His arrival in Jerusalem, were the ones that crucified Him. Yet none of that really mattered. According to the righteous and just God, there had to be a way to bring people like you and me to understand sin. God hates sin and will not stand for it in any shape or manner. According to Jewish law, they used animal sacrifices for the cleansing of sin in everyone. Thus…there had to be a “sacrifice” if God was to cover the Sin in everyone, from the beginning of all time. According to Jewish law, the Sacrifice had to be whole, picture-perfect and unblemished. Since Adam and Eve, there has never been such a person born, except Jesus Christ…who was and is…God.

We see crosses everywhere we go now days, on church steeples, around the necks of people, everywhere, the question is, who understands the reason for this? Do you have any idea of how cruel a punishment this was? The crucifixion was meant for slaves and the extreme criminals of society (as a deterrent to others).

This form of execution was always public. It was the most shameful and disgraceful of all execution procedures and was the most painful. Typically, the Romans were known for the worst of beatings, prior to crucifixion and the majority had their legs crushed to hasten their death. The next thing was to spear the person through the chest.

Here is what amazes me: My God and Heavenly Father, being Jesus Christ, chose to die in this manner and allowed HIS creation to perform the task. Again, what part of this do you not understand? And to think God loved us that much, to allow us to punish HIM for…what crime? NO crime at all! HIS blood is on that Cross, HIS humiliation is on that Cross, HIS agony and pain…. are on that Cross — to give us HIS precious blood to cover our sins. I can NOT think of a better way to say, “I really and truly…LOVE YOU!”

Jesus Christ…took my place in His death…HE took all of our places on that Cross, meant for you and me. We should have suffered and died there and then, NOT HIM! God created each of us and it is all of us that have sinned. We are the ones that deserve death for our sins. Jesus Christ…God…loved you and me so much that He died…in our place. He suffered the horrendous beatings, He suffered the shame and disgrace, and most of all…HE died on that Cross. It simply keeps playing, over and over again in my head.

And then to think that God only wants our love and devotion to HIM. That’s all? HE doesn’t want any more than that? There is NOTHING I can do—no works; I am not good enough for HIM to have allowed that punishment. There is NO equality here. The Lord God has already proven HIS love to you and me…but what have you done for HIM? Ask yourself, what could you possibly give to HIM that would equal repayment?

How many will give their lives to Jesus Christ? God provides HIS blood to cover your sins…and you turn your nose up at that? And you think you deserve an eternity in heaven? Blasphemy of blasphemy!

I can’t prostrate myself low enough before this loving God. I am not worthy to look at Him, I have no excuse for the sin in my life. I am condemned of my sin. I took part in HIS Crucifixion and death, actually HIS murder. I deserve HIS condemnation and I deserve the lake of fire for eternity. But there is one thing…HE died in my place…HIS blood covers my sin…through that and that alone, HE calls me home with open arms for eternity!

Every time I think on this…I am speechless…I am mindless and all I can say is, “Thank YOU Lord God for your love for me. I will follow you no matter where you lead.”

What is my life, when I consider HIS?

As of late, I am seeing that the Word of God, is indeed, warning that the Rapture is very, very, close. I am also seeing the congregation of events that will bring about the war of Ezekiel 38-39 against Israel. And few are paying any attention, especially the “powers that be” here in the USA. Are we now positive that the president is a Muslim?

There are so many things that are changing now days, it’s almost too much to write about. We have seen the ice-flows changing at the Poles, we see the droughts of California and then the soon to be famine as a result. What does the Word of God say about this in the last days?

Revelation 6:5-6 “And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, ‘A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.’”

We know the Word of God to be absolute Truth and we see that the Lord God has given us prophecies to know what will soon happen. It is my opinion that we are seeing the beginning of these final events as we look about the world today.

I already know that too few are paying any attention to these prophecies but mark my words, better yet—mark the words of the Bible; these events are starting to show their arrival. And so now we read that the Governor of California has put into motion water restrictions as have never been seen before

The intent is to save the harvests of California, in that California produces about 60 percent of the green produce. We must take into account the verses above, where it is talking about barley and wheat in particular as the usual items of sustenance. The Midwest is the region for these grains and now we wonder how much they will be able to produce of these items to sustain the present populace.

Have you ever considered the amount stated in those verses? It would amount to the daily intake of the average soldier. And then we consider those with families; how much will be there for all? Famines and pestilences all around and everyone is wondering what all is going on and why? It is obvious that far too many are not reading the Word of God and giving the prophecies their due diligence.

So everyone is still going to the restaurants eating their green salads and bread sticks, not once considering that there will be days ahead when these products will cease. (Or at least will be very scarce.) The wheat for their pasta, the tomatoes for their marinara sauce, the lettuce and cucumbers and tomatoes in their salads will be scarce. How about the meat as well, will not the feed for animals be expensive? So in the end, how many of these restaurants will be left? Or will they become the monuments to mankind in the not so distant future?

You may think you are “all that and an Oreo cookie” until food becomes scarce or non-existent. Then you won’t be able to buy your way out of starvation, your millions will not matter anymore, because everyone else…will be hunting for food as well. All of a sudden the elite of society will have to scrounge for whatever they are able to find or steal. How strange is that?

Are you able to visualize in your mind how absolutely “leveling” this will be to our society? Have you ever considered the cost of a glass of water at that time? So many things that we presently take for granted and have done so since the Garden of Eden will be a rarity.

I remember as a kid, running around in the heat of the summer and then drinking clean water from a garden hose. Will those memories become the stories of tomorrow as people endure the persistent and devastating heat waves that will come? How many will be saying that drinking from the garden hose is reckless…then? How many will be dying from the lack of clean water or the abundance of produce?

We relish the taste of a well-prepared T-Bone steak. How many will remember that taste and dream of those steaks again and again. Or even a hamburger, for that matter, or maybe a hot-dog with chips! Have you raised your head out of the proverbial hole and looked around lately?

We already know that a financial disaster for the USA is on its way and it is no longer an “IF” it is a “WHEN.” How many will be able to survive when their millions are worthless. Please understand, those folks have no idea of what it is like to live in poverty. Do you really think there will still be all the big banquets in Washington D.C.?

After the dollar is no longer the world’s reserve currency, what do you think will happen? Once the “United States of Europe” takes over, what will happen to the populace of the USA? How will the powerful elite of the USA survive?

In my mind, centered on the Word of God, I see the USA sliding off into oblivion, just like so many other empires of the past. Nothing but a memory of glamour and opulence and a population that was once the greatest to have ever been in the world.

Do you ever wonder how things got this bad and who is responsible? Would it surprise you to know that the fault lies with the voting population of this USA? Who was it that elected a Muslim president dead set against Israel and has encircled himself with those who will do his bidding at the drop of his word?

In what direction have the people of this once great nation turned to? Obviously it has not been to Jesus Christ. Everyone is being forced to accept the gay people of this nation and accept their ideas on daily life. The power-elite turn to accept the gay agenda out of fear for their fortunes and positions in corporations or government.

So now we read where the last days will be just like that of the Days of Noah and the great Flood and that of Sodom and Gomorrah. God destroyed those people with a flood and then fire from heaven. Do you think that will be the situation we will face? Do you think that God will sit back and let all this evil continue unabated?

If that is indeed your opinion, then you have never cracked a single page of the Bible—God’s Holy Word to you and me. Evidently, you have never read or never considered reading Revelation, the last book of the Bible…otherwise you would already know what is to come.

Have you ever read how the prophecies of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament have came true 100 percent and so far all the remaining prophecies of the Old and New Testaments are coming true today without missing a single beat? How many prophecies must the Lord give everyone before they understand that God means what HE says?

Are you looking around and seeing so many strange occurrences taking place and wondering to yourself…What is going on? Maybe today would be a good time to pick up that dusty Bible and read of all the things that are going to take place. So far it is the ONLY book to have ever existed, that will concisely tell you what is to come.

Let me leave you with a bit of Scripture, that each of the born-again followers of Jesus Christ…already know. It may be to your advantage to not just read this, but to memorize it and ask the Lord God to etch it into your heart.

John 14:2-3 “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”

Revelation 19:7-9 “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, ‘Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.’”

At end of the last days, Jesus Christ will have come and removed the Church (His Bride) from this earth. After that the Lord God will show His wrath to this sin-filled world and will almost…totally destroy human-kind. If the Lord God said it and the Word of God proves it, then I will stand by it, because I want to go to heaven. And Jesus Christ…is the ONLY way to heaven!
