Jim's Eschatological Info

If the following article is true, and I believe it is, this Nazi – type experimentation on live aborted babies is truly disgusting and must be stopped.

Sigh. The US is not far from severe punishment.

Matthew chapter 24 is Jesus’ detailed description of what the end times will look like. Included is this sobering statement: “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” (Mt. 24:12)(NKJ). The word ‘love’ here is agape which means the ‘God-kind’ of sacrificial love present only in those who are in Christ. The Greek for ‘many’ is polos which actually means most or the major portion. What Jesus is clearly saying here is this; In the last days the love of most Christians will grow cold due to the deception of false prophets and wide-spread lawlessness. This is a staggering statement! He follows this up with the next verse “But he who endures to the end will be saved.”(Mt 24:13)

In my younger days as an incoming freshman at a challenging engineering college I listened as the Dean addressed the newcomers. He said “take notice of the person on your left and the person on your right. If you graduate four years from now, they won’t. That turned out to be more than true. Out of 55 students in my chosen discipline only 7 of us graduated. Now let’s think of Jesus’ statement. An astute Christian Pastor could say to his congregation ; “Take notice of the person on your left and on your right. If you, in spite of great deception and lawlessness, endure to the end when Jesus returns to gather you to Himself, they won’t.” Most Christians won’t make it!

Jesus, through the apostle John sent a letter to the local church at Ephesus. What He told them was that their first love had grown cold, just like He said will happen to the end-times church. “Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember, therefore, from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place – unless you repent. (Rev. 2:4-5)

Don’t let anyone deceive you. The last-days church is in for the greatest trial it has ever faced or will face again. We have all the tools we need to overcome and be victorious. Simply knowing that most professing Christians will fail the challenge should strengthen your resolve. Keep on studying your bible and growing in your faith. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world!

The title above comes from a recent letter (letter 1oo) by catholic Archbishop Vigano detailing the rapid progress of the “great reset” taking place in our world. Nelson Walters provides commentary on his letter in the following video. It is quite startling: Deep State and Deep Church Conspire Together – NEW! Bishop Vigano Warning of Global Takeover – YouTube

Vigano’s letter can be read in it’s entirety here ; Letter #100, 2021, Tuesday, August 31: Viganò – Inside The Vatican His letter, of course, is uniquely catholic and quite long, naming a lot of names; definitely an interesting read .

Your take-away from all this should be the lateness of the hour from an eschatological standpoint and the realization that the only 100% reliable truth we can count on is the Word of God. The immense deception of the last days that Jesus warned us about is upon us. Don’t be deceived. Keep studying your bible. If you are, none of these things should surprise you.

Most of you, I’m sure, have heard a statement like “He was a God-fearing man”. The bible tells us clearly and often that we should fear God. What does scripture mean when it says to fear God ? Should we be cowering and cringing in terror when approaching the Father ? I’ve been taught by many preachers that to fear God means to revere God with awe and respect. But, is that all it means ?

The Greek word for fear in the bible is phobos or phobeo (verb form) from which we get the English word phobia. I think we all know what phobias are; a mostly inordinate fear of something that prevents us from interacting with that something, whatever it is. The word fear is used 400 times in the KJ version of the bible about half the time in reference to the fear of God. In the new testament, it is evident that fear of God is for the Christian as well as the unsaved. “...beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” (2Cor. 7:1) “...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” (Phil. 2:12) “...since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you come short of it.” (Hebrews 4:1) Jesus Himself was very clear when instructing His disciples; “And do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. ” (Matthew 10 :28)

Clearly, we, as Christians are to fear God, not just in the sense of awe and respect, but also in dread of the coming horrific judgment if we do not ‘endure to the end’. We must do all we can to avoid the easy road toward sin that so easily entangles us and could lead to eventual apostacy and alliance with the antichrist’s economic system. Fear of God’s judgment on the unrighteous should be incentive enough to keep us on the narrow path that leads to eternal life. “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10: 31)

Though the above scriptures might sound scary, it is also clear from the scriptures that God does not desire that we should live in fear of Him. Just like our earthly fathers, we can expect discipline when we err in His eyes, but it does not mean we should dread approaching Him. We should “…come boldly to the throne of grace , that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16) He is a God of infinite love. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind. ” (2Timothy 1:7) Jesus said to His disciples “Fear not little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32) John says “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear….” (1John 4:18) The word ‘perfect’ here means complete. Jesus showed us perfect love when He completed the greatest act of love the world has ever known. He is our example. Perfecting love in our lives will drive out all fear. Those who follow the ‘god of this world’, either wittingly or unwittingly, have every reason to fear what’s coming. “mens hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth…” (Luke 21:26) We need to continually be confronting those around us of the nearness to God’s judgment coming soon to the whole earth. And, yes, fear God.

Jesus instructed the apostle John to write letters to seven churches in Asia Minor that may also have been written with the eschaton in mind. Consider the following scriptures from Revelation:

“And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations... ” (Rev. 2:26)

“…Therefore if you will not watch, I will come to you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.” (Rev. 3:3)

“Because you have kept my command to persevere, I will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world to test those who dwell on the earth.” (Rev. 3:10)

“And behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with Me, to give to everyone according to his work.” (Rev. 22:12) “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches…” (Rev. 22:16)

While there is no question these seven letters were directed to seven real churches existing in John’s day, it is also evident from the above scriptures that what is contained in them is important teaching from Jesus Himself specifically for last-days Christians as well. We are those last-days Christians. Therefore, it behooves us to study and meditate on both Jesus’s criticisms and praises of these seven churches. They likely represent a microcosm of Christianity today. Allow me to sum up in my own words Jesus’s praises and criticisms contained in the letters to the seven churches.

Praises; Good works, Much fruitful labor, Patience, Intolerance of evil, Testing of those who say they are apostles, not growing weary of doing good, Enduring tribulation, Enduring poverty, Enduring persecution, Holding fast to the name of Jesus, Faithful even unto martyrdom, Showing love, Latest works better than the first.

Criticisms; Abandoning your first love, Idolatry, Sexual immorality, Toleration of false teaching, Seduction by false prophets, Adultery.

I think you can readily see all of the above present in world wide Christianity today. Read and study the seven letters. The consequences of not taking seriously Jesus’s criticisms are severe and eternal. The rewards, however, according to John are awesome. ” Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates and into the city.” (Rev. 22:14)

I’m reposting this article because… it’s still the most important!

The most important thing for every individual to determine is this: Is my name written in the Lambs Book of Life ? Of this you must be absolutely sure -there is no room for error. It’s this important; “And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:15). John was given a vision of this concerning those judged at the “great white throne judgment”.

In the Old Testament book of Exodus, Moses heroically volunteered to take the penalty for the rebellious Israelites. He said; “Yet now if you will forgive their sin-but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have written.” The Lord answered; “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My Book.” (Exodus 32: 32-33) David in his psalm asks God to deal with his enemies; “Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. (Psalm 69: 28) The prophet Daniel writing the angel’s words about the great tribulation makes things very clear; “….And at that time your people shall be delivered, Everyone who is found written in the book and many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, these to everlasting life, and others to shame and everlasting contempt.” (Daniel 12: 1-2)

Jesus addressed the returning seventy who were filled with joy over their miraculous ministry by Jesus’ authority by telling them this; “Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice because your names are written in heaven. ‘ (Luke 10:20) The apostle Paul talks about his companions and fellow laborers in the gospel; “and I urge you, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.” (Phil. 4:3)

The book of Revelation has much more to say. About overcomers; “He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before my Father and before His angels. ” (Rev. 3:5). About antichrist followers; “All who dwell on the earth will worship him whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” (Rev. 13:8) and “The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition, and those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.” (Rev.17:8) About those granted entry to the New Jerusalem; “But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or lie but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.” (Rev. 21:27) About those who spurn the book of Revelation; “and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” (Rev. 22:19)

I’m sure you can see from the above scriptures that having your name written in the Book of Life is of paramount importance. But, you may be wondering, how can I be absolutely certain ? The bible says clearly that you are able to possess that knowledge. The apostle John wrote “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God” (1John 5:13) This knowledge comes by simply obeying the gospel. “…..Repent and let everyone of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38). “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). These actions done in faith will cause a “new birth” in all who participate. Then, “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.” (Romans 8:16).

Each individual needs to search his/her heart and test what they truly believe. In the above actions of obedience to the gospel leading to salvation, they are actions of the heart, the inner man. If your name is written in the Lambs book of life, the Holy Spirit will let you know beyond any doubt where you stand. Be forewarned, however, that unbridled practice of sin can lead to blotting out, or erasure from the Book of Life. We are approaching perilous times and need to be prepared to take our stand and endure to the end.

This is the first time that I’m recommending another blog. Tim Warner, my favorite student of biblical Greek, (the author of the LGV New Testament translation) has started a new blog. You may not agree with all of Tim’s scripture exegesis, but it will surely challenge your thinking and, hopefully, spur you on to dig deeper in your own personal studies. Check it out here :

Deception in the Last Days (Pt. 3) – TIMOTHEOS’ BLOG (4windsfellowships.net)

Most of us have read the book of Job and pondered the sufferings of this righteous man. Why did God choose this servant to undergo such severe attacks from Satan ? The Lord said to Satan: “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?” (Job 1: 8) Satan answered: “Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.” (Job 1:10) The Lord then proceeds to give Satan permission to destroy all that Job has, his herds, possessions, even killing his servants and his sons and daughters. In all this, Job did not sin, but kept his trust in God. In a second occurrence, in chapter two, God gives Satan further permission to attack Job physically with painful boils from head to foot. Even his friends reject him. We know the end of the story; during all that time of testing, Job remained faithful to his Creator. In the end, God restores more to Job then he ever had before.

So, what might this testing of Job have to do with end-times? Remember that all scripture is given to us as examples for us to live by and benefit from.

Let’s consider for a moment a typical church-going adult Christian residing in the United States. Also assume that it’s time for the great tribulation to start, that last three and one half years of this age when Satan, newly kicked out of heaven, has free reign to exercise his demonic wrath on the earth. The following scenario might take place. God may say to Satan; “Have you considered My church? They are blameless and upright, faithfully following my Son.” Satan may say to God: “You’ve been protecting Your church; those so-called Christians. You’ve tasked Michael that nasty archangel to watch over them and keep me from destroying them. Take him out of the way and let me at them. They’ll reject your Son soon enough !

Are you beginning to see the end-time parallels the church has with Job? Oh yes, the church will be tested-big time. The restrainer will be removed (2Thess. 2:6), and Satan will be given his time. Unfortunately, many Christians will not fare well. Daniel says this about the coming antichrist: “He (antichrist) shall persecute the saints of the Most High….Then the saints shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.” (Daniel 7:25) Jesus said “The love of most will grow cold” (Mt 24:12).

This current generation of Christians here in the US has known only prosperity and favor from God all their lives. We need to prepare our hearts and minds for a time of testing unlike the world has ever seen. Will we persevere and hold fast to Christ as Job did with his God no matter how severe our existence? Scripture couldn’t be more clear. Those who persevere to the end will be saved. I’m certain we are fast approaching great tribulation. We need to put on the full armor of God so that we can take our stand in that evil day. (Ephesians 6:13-18) Job is our faithful example.

Genesis chapter nine describes something called the Noahic Covenant. This covenant describes God’s unilateral promise that He would never again destroy the earth and all flesh with a worldwide flood. He stated: “I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth” (Genesis 9:13). He further states: “and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. The rainbow shall be in the cloud and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” (Genesis 9:15-16) It’s hard to imagine why God needs a reminder like the rainbow to keep Himself from destroying the earth again with a flood, but I’m glad for this covenant. Except for those with faith in His Son, conditions on the earth are probably not far from those during the time of Noah. In fact, Jesus predicted this about the state of the earth just prior to His coming. (Matthew 24:37) I believe we are there.

The LBGTQABC movement currently sweeping the earth has gone beyond sexual perversion and into what the bible calls blasphemy. They have co-opted the rainbow sign as a universal symbol of their blatant homosexuality. And, it seems to have world wide acceptance. The USA, for example, defiantly flies the rainbow flag at it’s embassies around the world. This in-His-face mocking of God’s eternal covenant is truly blasphemous. Even though some of them may not be aware of it, this satanic misuse of God’s symbol is a direct invitation to horrific judgment. We should look on their use of the rainbow with disgust, as God does.

Though God promised not to destroy the earth with a flood ever again, He will destroy all evil on this planet. As the song says “fire not a flood next time”. Biblical prophecy is clear that evil mankind will be destroyed by fire at Jesus’ second coming. The appropriation by the LGBTQ community of God’s beautiful symbol will only compound their ultimate judgment. As Christians, let’s not give any place to this abomination.
