The road to Heaven is not an easy one as God sorely tests our faith along the way ... the sincere Christian must prepare to endure the pain, heartbreak, sorrow, and distress found this life, but the Lord promises to see us through all of them.  Trust in Him ... for the reward will be great and long lasting.

   "Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial

     when it comes upon you to test you,

     as though something strange were happening to you.

     But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings,

     that you may also rejoice and be glad when His glory is revealed.

     If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed,

     because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.

     But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief

     or an evildoer or as a meddler.

     Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian,

     let him not be ashamed,

     but let him glorify God in that Name.

     For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God;

     and if it begins with us,

     what will be the outcome for those who do NOT obey the gospel of God?

     And if the righteous is scarcely saved,
     what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”

     Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will

     entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good."       (God's Promise ...)       (Finding Hope and Comfort in Times of Trouble ...)

Knowledge Is Useless Until We Know The Meaning Of "Fear God"... Wisdom Of Proverbs ... (Audio-Video)

--Focal Point Radio/Compass Bible Church      (God's Promise ...)      (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)

--Drudge/CNS News      (Bible prophecies describing 'The Generation of Armageddon')      (Prophecies:  The coming 'Apocalypse' and Armageddon)

   "For if God did not spare angels when they sinned,

     but cast them into Hell 

     and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness

     to be kept until the Judgment;

     if He (God) did not spare the ancient world,

     but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others,

     when He brought a Flood upon the world of the ungodly;

     if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes

     He condemned them to extinction,

     making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 

     and if He rescued righteous Lot,   

     greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked    (How should we react to prime-time cable television today ...)

     (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day,

     he was tormenting his righteous soul

     over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard);    (God watches to see how our soul reacts to prime-time cable television today ...)

     then the Lord knows how to rescue the Godly from trials,     (Prophecies:  The coming "Rapture"... please don't be "left behind")  

     and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the Day of Judgment,

     and ESPECIALLY those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority.

     Bold and willful,   (filled with arrogance and sinful pride)

     they do not tremble as they blaspheme the Glorious ones,   (They have no fear of God ... and mock His Chosen)

     whereas angels, though greater in might and power,

     do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord.

     But these, like irrational animals,

     creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed,

     blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant,

     will ALSO be destroyed in their destruction"

JR Nyquist ... 8/31/2007 ... Economic Warfare In The Final Phase ... Economic influence means political influence. As America is humiliated, as America retreats, Russia advances. The day might come when Europe pays for its energy in rubles. If this occurs, Europe would have to acquire a large store of Russian currency. Russia’s economic position would grow, and so would Russia’s hold on Europe. Moscow wants to build a global oil exchange on Russian territory, knocking big financial players to one side. The Russians want to stun the American economy. They want to weaken an already weakened dollar. 

In 1984 a Russian defector named Anatoliy Golitsyn wrote of the period following the collapse of communism. He warned of a renewed attack on the West, engineered by KGB strategists. He said that this attack had an economic dimension. In his 1984 book, New Lies for Old, he wrote: “’Liberalization’ in Eastern Europe on the scale suggested could have a social and political impact on the United States itself, especially if it coincided with a severe economic depression. The communist strategists are on the lookout for such an opportunity.” According to Golitsyn, the communist bloc tracks Western economic developments. They watch for developing weaknesses. “The communist bloc will not repeat its error of failing to exploit a slump as it did in 1929-32.” The smartest political observers know that a financial slump resurrects Marxism and its critique of economic freedom. 

Referring to a deceptive phase of self-advertised Russian weakness, Golitsyn warned: “Information from communist sources that the bloc is short of oil and grain should be treated with particular reserve, since it could well be intended to conceal preparation for the final phase of the policy and to induce the West to underestimate the potency of the bloc’s economic weapons.” The economic weakness of Russia led Europe to feel safe about their growing dependence on Russian oil and gas. And now it is too late. Now we see how Russia and China have formed a military bloc. We see them supporting the nuclear ambitions of Iran, the paranoid buildup of Syria and Venezuela – the seduction of Latin America and the bloody unraveling of sub-Saharan Africa. 

The U.S. financial situation worsens as the old communist bloc re-gathers its economic, political and military forces. Look at the new Russian weapons – nuclear missiles, tanks, jet fighters and more. Look at Latin America and notice what is happening in Venezuela, Brazil, Bolivia, Nicaragua, etc, etc, etc.  The communists are advancing under various false flags.  They seek the destruction of the United States.  It doesn’t matter who is in the White House.  It doesn’t matter what policy the U.S. is following. They want to destroy America, because America stands in the way of their plans.

Alpha News Daily Note:  In his 1984 book (and briefings to the wrong US political officials) high-level KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn warned Russia (the Soviet Union) would fake its collapse (including the re-unification of Germany) and after an allotted period of time would publicly announce a "restored" friendly relationship and alliance with China (who was also part of the "collapse" charade in order to open the doors to US investment and flow of western technology) ... Golitsyn warned when we saw this Russia-China Alliance announced (which they now call "Multi-Polar World" and announced around 1999) it would mean the Soviet-China plan to destroy the US and the Western democracies had entered into the final "Clenched-Fist" Phase and would be difficult to stop (because by then many Western European governments and the US would be well along the path toward "Socialism" and NATO would be "softened") and would not seriously confront the increasingly hostile and aggressive Russia-China Axis ... and would be unwilling or unable to mount the unified military and political defense necessary to stop them until it was too late.

"Flesh (Body)" vs "Spirit" ... Have you ever noticed almost EVERYTHING the Christian is commanded to do is exactly the OPPOSITE of what we would want to do, or how we would want to respond, or react, or feel WITHOUT faith in (and fear of) God and God's Word directing (and strengthening) us ... "Don't worry or be anxious about anything, but pray about everything (with thanksgiving)" ... "love your enemy" ... "don't be anxious about tomorrow" ... "turn the other cheek" ..."pray for those who persecute you" ... "don't feed the lusts of the eyes" ... "don't feed the lusts of the flesh" ... "don't boast or brag" ... "forgive all those who have hurt you" ... "never go to sleep angry, but turn it over to God" ... "esteem others better than yourself" ... "flee from sexual immorality" ... "flee from drunkenness" ... "joyfully offer a good portion of your income back to God in faith and thanksgiving" ... "sincerely pray for God's forgiveness every time we break His Law and rules" ... "trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" ... "cast your cares (and worries) before God and trust in the Lord to lead you and to guide you (and forgive you) in ALL things", etc., etc ... PLUS ... as Christians growing in our faith (and in the spirit), we are ALSO commanded to SUBMIT to all authority and ENDURE punishment or rebuke and PERSEVERE through grief and suffering patiently ... ESPECIALLY when we have done NOTHING wrong.

.

   "Honor all people.

     Love the brotherhood.

     FEAR God.    (Most important ... learn the meaning of "Fear God"... (Audio-Video)

     Honor the king (the ruler of the land).  

     Servants (workers), be submissive to your masters (employers and bosses) with all fear,

     not only to the good and gentle (employers and bosses),      (The Biblical (and Christian) Work Ethic ... Audio-Video)

     but also to the harsh.  

     For this is commendable,

     If BECAUSE of conscience toward God

     one ENDURES grief, suffering wrongfully.  

     For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently?

     But when you do GOOD and suffer, IF you take it patiently,

     this is COMMENDABLE before God.  

     For to this you were called,  (remember, OUR reward will be found in the Kingdom of Heaven ... a treasure that will last forever!)

     because Christ ALSO suffered for US,

     leaving us an example,

     that you should follow His steps:  

   "Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth";  

     who, when He was reviled, did NOT revile in return;

     when He suffered, He did NOT threaten,

     but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;  

     who Himself bore OUR sins in His own body on the tree,  

     that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness --

     by whose stripes you were healed.     (Prophecies of Messiah from the ancient Jewish Scriptures) 

     For you were like sheep going astray,

     but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls."

God promises He will one day be the Shepherd of Israel (after He scattered them around the world for disobedience) ...

   “For thus says the Lord God:

     Behold, I, I Myself will search for my sheep (the children of Israel)

     and will seek them out.

     As a shepherd seeks out his flock

     when he is among his sheep that have been scattered,

     so will I seek out My sheep,

     and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered

     on a Day of clouds and thick darkness.      (Prophecies:  The coming 'Apocalypse' and Armageddon)

     And I will bring them out from the peoples

     and gather them from the countries,

     and will bring them into their own Land (Israel).

     I Myself will be the Shepherd of my sheep,

     and I Myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord God.

     I will seek the lost,

     and I will bring back the strayed,

     and I will bind up the injured,

     and I will strengthen the weak,

     and the fat and the strong I will destroy. 

     I will feed them in justice.

     As for you, My flock,

     thus says the Lord God:

     Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep,

     between rams and male goats.

     And I will judge between sheep and sheep.

     And I will set up over them one Shepherd, my servant David,

     and he shall feed them:

     he shall feed them and be their shepherd.

     And I, the Lord, will be their God,

     and my servant David shall be prince among them.

     I Am the Lord; I have spoken.

     (Ezekiel 34: 11-24)       (The assurance of life in Heaven  ... it's NOT too late!!!)

   "And when the Chief Shepherd appears,

     you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

     Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders.

     Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another,

     for “God opposes the proud but gives Grace (life in Heaven) to the humble.”

     Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God

     so that at the proper time he may exalt you,

     casting ALL your anxieties on Him,

     because He cares for you.

     Be sober-minded; be watchful.

     Your adversary the Devil prowls around like a roaring lion,

     seeking someone to devour.

     Resist him, firm in your faith,

     knowing that the same kinds of suffering

     are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.

     And AFTER you have suffered a little while,

     the God of all Grace,

     who has CALLED you to his eternal glory in Messiah (Christ),  

     will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.     (The literal translation of the word "church" is the "called out.")

     To Him be the dominion forever and ever.

     Amen."

     (1 Peter 5:4-11)        (Prophecies:  The coming "Rapture"... Jew and Gentile ... please don't be "left behind")
 

King David writes ...

   "The Lord is my shepherd . . ."

And Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew graciously tells us ...

Note:  Many people today do not know whether or not they (or their loved ones) will go to Heaven.  Many have not been adequately (or honestly) taught what the Bible actually says and teaches ...

Many also don't realize God’s loving offer (see below) contains both a "BLESSING” and a "CURSE”. . .

   "For God so loved the world

     that He GAVE His only begotten Son,

     that whoever BELIEVES (trusts) in Him      (to trust in Jesus alone to save us from our sins and from Hell)

     should NOT perish (in Hell)

     but have everlasting life (in Heaven).

     For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,

     but that the world through Him might be saved (into Heaven).

     He who believes in Him is not condemned (to Hell ... the "second" death);

     but he who does NOT believe (in Jesus Christ)

     IS condemned (to Hell) ALREADY"     (The consequence of sin without Christ Jesus ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew.)

     (John 3:16-18)   (Jesus greatly LOVED us to save us from Hell ... all God asks is we love Him for all He has done for us.)

   "For by GRACE you have been saved (from your sins and from Hell)

     through FAITH (in Jesus Christ),

     and that not of yourselves;

     it is the GIFT of God,   ("Grace" is getting something we don’t deserve…we can't earn this gift of life in Heaven)

     NOT of works,   (we cannot enter Heaven through any “good deeds” we have done ... or think we have done.)

     lest ANYONE should boast."   (We are told it’s a gift from God … we just have to thankfully (and lovingly) receive it.)

     (Ephesians 2:8)    

For the ASSURANCE of Life in Heaven (and of having ALL of your sin and guilt completely removed) . . . A.C.T. NOW!!! 

-  Acknowledge you are a sinner ... and have sinned against God's Law

-  Confess your sins to God

-  Trust (believe) completely in Jesus Christ  (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) ...

     -  He (lovingly and willingly) died for all of your sins on the Cross ... and His innocent blood washes away ALL our sins

     -  He was buried ... 

     -  He was raised (Resurrected) from the dead the third day ... and now waits to see if you are "with" Him or "against" Him

-  Turn back to God ... and turn away from sinful activities ("repent") ... He will welcome you with tears of joy.

If you do these things … sincerely and in faith … the Bible promises you can have the complete assurance of eternal life in Heaven.  The Bible tells us Jesus (Yeshua) did all the work for you when He bore all of your sins and died on the Cross ... and was buried ... and was raised (resurrected) from the dead (as "firstfruits" of the coming Resurrection) through the awesome power of God.  The Bible says you can’t add anything to it!!!  When you believe and trust in (and love) Jesus Christ as your "Savior" (who lovingly saves you from your sins and from Hell) ... and then turn away from your sinful ways and turn back to God ("repent"), you can have the complete peace and assurance in your heart that when you die, you will enter into His Kingdom of Heaven ... forever and ever … it’s God’s Promise!!! 

The only thing God asks a NON-believer to do is to "believe"... Jesus (God) did ALL the work ... life in Heaven is OFFERED as a GIFT!!! 

Grace and Shalom
