END OF LIFE ON THIS EARTH

2 Replies

 

What happens when we die? When we are young, that question rarely enters our minds. However, when a loved one dies or gets aged and sick, we think about the “End Of Life On This Earth,” and is there anything after our life ends here.

The King James Bible is very specific on what happens after death. Many religions have many ideas about this matter, but that is simply what their religion believes. I believe what the Holy Spirit God, who is the author of the Bible, has to say about this matter.

After all, God created this universe, this world, and everything in it and under it. For the true Christian, and I mean a Born Again Believer. Jesus Christ when talking to a Leader of the Jews when asked about Heavenly things emphatically said in John 3:7 “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” That was not a suggestion. It is a command to anyone who wants to be with God when this life is over.

Born Again is another way of saying, SAVED from going to hell. Simon Peter said in Acts 4:12, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (SAVED from going to hell)

As in my own great nation, the problem in this world is that the vast majority of the people do not read the Holy Bible. We can find a bible in many homes in America, but you won’t find many people reading it and rarely find them studying it.

I will add a short video to share my thoughts.

 

I could actually title this End Of Life As We Don’t Know it. Most people lead a robotic life. By that I mean we, at least before the Covid 19 Pandemic we did the same thing every day. If we had a job, many people got up at the same time and did our usual morning routine.

Then we got into our car, took the same route to work, did the same work, then came home the same route, did our normal routine, dinner, communicating with family and friends, helping kids with homework, taking them to soccer, come home, go to bed and get ready for the same routine the next day.

I did something like that all my working life. However, one thing we did little in our younger stages of life was to consider our death, as it was not a pleasant thing to think about, not only for ourselves but for our family.

I centered this article on the end of our life, and particularly on what happens after death. Have you seriously considered what happens at the end of your life?

For almost fifty years, I did not think of death. I was definitely only thinking of the present. What a fool I was. I was also a religious person. Again I say, “What A Fool I was.” Religion does not get anyone to Heaven! Look at some religions of this world. They all tell you a different way.

My parents brought me up in a Catholic family, but I had many friends who followed other denominations. I remember a Protestant Church nearby opened the doors to their gymnasium every Saturday so we Catholics who didn’t have a gym at school could come. I thought that was pretty nice. However, they never once mentioned anything about how we get to heaven. That was not nice!

Most religions that I understood follow their own traditions with a little of Jesus Christ thrown in. I had a good friend who Was Jewish, but we never talked about Heaven or Hell.

So here I was approaching my fiftieth birthday, and I and my friends or cohorts did not know about what happens after death. Then everything changed almost in an instant. I won’t go into that right now because it is part of my testimony, and that is a fantastic story, but that is for another time.

 

HEAVEN OR HELL

14 Replies

I have been talking to people about Heaven and Hell for over thirty-five years, and I am very sad to say that most of the people I talk to know very little about Heaven or Hell.

If I asked you right now if you were going to go to Heaven when you leave this earth, what would you say?

Well, I can tell you most people say to me, “I think so.” or “I hope so.” I can say that because I have asked that question to thousands of people over the years, and those are the top two answers I get.

Oh, they add to that things like –

I try to be good; I go to church; I read the bible; I try to keep the ten commandments; I receive the sacraments, etc, etc!

Not one of them or all of them together could get anyone into Heaven. If you want to get to Heaven, realize it has nothing to do with what you do on this earth. The only way of getting to Heaven is trusting in what Jesus Christ did for you and me while HE was on this earth! Jesus Christ said in John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

See the following video. Watch it carefully, very carefully, and you will see how easy it is to get into Heaven, and also how easy it is to go to Hell.

ISRAEL, ARE YOU PRAYING FOR THEM?

ISRAEL

ARE YOU PRAYING FOR THEM?

God’s Plan for Israel and the World

Amos 9:11-15″ In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: 12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.
13 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.”

Today as I write this, we are living in the Laodicea Church Age, and Israel is still at odds with almost all the world. However, what ever some people and religions might say, God is not finished with Israel. They are still His chosen people. He did not choose them because they were something special. They are something special because He chose them.

If someone in my generation mentioned the name “Amos”, I imagine most people would bring to mind “Amos and Andy.” That was a very popular program years ago. As an unsaved, biblically ignorant person gong to hell, that is what I would have thought of.

Even today, when people talk about prophets they bring to mind Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and others around that time. Amos was contemporary with Isaiah. He was a herdsman from the Southern Kingdom, but prophesied to the Northern Kingdom.

In verse 11 Amos speaks of “that day” to let the Israelites and all of us know that he was prophesying about a time in the future, yet to happen, but surely will happen.

Verse 15 of the passage above, “And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.” That is a promise of God to the Jews. It is absolute and final and cannot, and will not be changed.

When you read the Old Testament, you will see that every time Israel was obedient to God they had peace. Every time they were disobedient to God, they had trouble and wars.
Do you think that Israel or we would learn something from history? No! The only thing we learn from history is that we never learn anything from history!

When a person or a nation is disobedient to God, look out! God is a Righteous God and a Holy God, and we should look to Him for guidance in everything, in our life. Our nation has turned its back on God, and is removing His words everywhere you look. That is why we are in a mess today.

I will bring more of my thoughts, on Israel and the World in my next article about Israel.
Meanwhile pray for Israel. Also, please pray for our government leaders, that they might get saved, and get in to the Bible and see what God has to say about what the future has in store for all mankind.

I am Heaven Bound, Are You?

I am Heaven Bound Are You?

In today’s world, the only thing that is on the minds of the majority in our nation is what I can protest about today, what about my civil rights. The criminals are running our country. Then there are the people who are here illegally demanding their rights. All the men we respected for years, now being charged with a numerous amount of sexual crimes, and politicians wasting all their time persecuting other politicians.

We can not leave out the horrible school shootings, and police shootings the hackers out to steal all that you have, and the very banks that we choose to keep our money safe, doing just the opposite. I could go on, and on about what is ruining the world, and now is ruining this once great United States of America, but I will give you the answer with one word.

SIN!

Of course, you will not hear about that on any newscast, in any newspaper, or unfortunately, not in many churches today.

During World War 1 and World War 2, our nation was a praying nation. I know this because when I was going to school, every morning we would go to the auditorium, stand, pray the Lord’s Prayer, and Pledge of Allegiance to Our Flag of this great nation. Every Wednesday afternoon we got an afternoon off to go to Religious Instructions.

There are no more religious instructions in schools today. Everything being taught today in schools is about “Evolution.” According to Webster’s Dictionary, Evolution, means, A process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage)

The only thing that “Evolved” in the period of time from the end of World War 2, and now is the degradation of our Nation! WHY? Amos the Prophet warned of this way before the First Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to this earth to save rotten sinners like me from going to hell.

Even though the Lord GOD was talking to the Prophet Amos all about the sins of Israel, and what they could expect from turning their backs on GOD, you have to see the relationship to the very days we are living in NOW!

AMOS 8:1-12 “Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence. 4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? 6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. Does this look and sound familiar to what is going on right now?

8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
And here we find ourselves in 2018 and maybe a little bit beyond.

11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

Oh, how we have become a nation, just Like that of what the LORD was talking to Amos about. We are a nation that has turned our backs on God! We got proud after World War 2 and decided WE won. We did not give God what was due HIM! He should have gotten all the HONOR AND GLORY for our victory. From then on, we relied on our own wisdom and our government to lead us.

Out went the Lord’s Prayer from schools. Out also, went the Ten Commandments from Public Buildings. Out went the Bibles. All this has brought to us is an uneasiness in our nation, with Democrats blaming Republicans, and Republicans blaming Democrats and a number of Republicans blaming their Republican President, I guess for their own motives, and everyone else blaming everyone else, including GOD.

Now we see a Porn Star alleging that she had an affair with The President of the United States, and he is already been found guilty on all the TV New stations, and she is on the way to becoming a millionaire on what she will earn for her alleged affair.
I am not denying The Presidents guilt or the guilt of all the famous celebrity’s whose names have been defamed. I leave that in God’s very capable hands.

The Apostle Paul reminds us that God is aware of all things that are going on and everything hidden that we do will be revealed. Romans 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

These things I say only because of what I get from my Final Authority, which is the King James Bible. I know there are the majority of Americans and Non-Americans that will disagree with me. However, if you Study and Search the Scriptures as God has commanded you, it might not be too late for you to bring some pleasure to God, and find out how God made it so easy for you to come and live with HIM in Heaven someday…
Tune in again, as I will show you some wonderful things that God has promised those that trust in HIM. I will also share HIS wonderful workings in my life. Praise His name forever, Amen!
