SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND -THE CLOSE OF HUMAN PROBATION IS COMING!
TODAY is the day to seek the Lord with He may be found. We are living in serious times. The signs of the end and Christ's return are all around us and we must seek the Lord with all our heart, as a time is coming soon when the doors of mercy will close to the world and the Lord will no longer be found. Please, heed the call! Isaiah 55:6 If we are told to seek the Lord while He may be found, then what are we being told? We are being told that at some point in time, the Lord will NOT be found! Do you understand this? Do you see? A time is coming when the Lord will not be found. And that time is known as the close of human probation, when the seven last plaques begin to fall upon the world. Look: Revelation 15:6,8; 1 Timothy 2:5 How do we obtain mercy from God at this time? We obtain mercy through faith in Jesus Christ and His mediatorial work on our behalf before God the Father in the temple in heaven. But look at what happens when it is time for the seven last plaques to be poured out. We are told in Revelation 15 that "no man can enter into the temple." No man includes every person (by faith) through Christ, and even Christ Himself, being that 'man' - our Mediator. When the plaques begin to fall, Christ leaves the temple in preparation to return for His people and bring judgment upon the world. And if you compare Revelation 16:17-20 with Revelation 6:14-17, you will see that the 7th plague is connected with the very return of Christ to earth. Therefore Christ's intercession for man will have come to an end - before He returns! Revelation 22:11-12 Do you see what this means? The door of mercy through the intercession of Christ will one day soon close forever! Which is why the Lord counsels us to seek Him while He may be found. As one day soon, He will NOT be found. Let me give you an illustration through a parable that Jesus taught us - the parable of the ten virgins. Matthew 25:1-13 Oh my friends, this is such a solemn warning from our dear Saviour. Do you realize that the five foolish virgins were 'believers' in Christ? We know this because they were expecting the 'bridegroom' and called him 'Lord, Lord.' But what did they fail to do? PREPARE! They failed in filling their 'lamps' (their body temple) with the 'oil' (Holy Spirit). They continued to live for self. They continued to follow the world and trust in the teachings of men. They thought that merely being called a 'Christian' would save them. They thought that merely being a member of a church or certain denomination would save them. They looked to man, instead of Christ and they were found 'wanting'! Without oil, without the Spirit of God - without hope! And they knew not that the door of mercy and salvation was closed to them forever! Do you see the solemn truth of this message? Jesus tells us through this parable that the door of mercy will close one day soon. And many who are so called 'believers' in Christ will be shut out of the kingdom. Why? Because they loved self, instead of denying self (Matthew 16:24) - they relied upon others, instead of upon others, instead of relying upon others, instead of relying upon Christ. They were followers of man, instead of being followers of Christ. Oh friend, please do not be a foolish virgin. Please heed the warning! The plaques are soon to fall upon this world and human probation is soon to come to a close. But did you know who the plaques are specifically for? Most professed Christians believe the plaques are going to fall upon the wicked world in general. And yet the Bible tells us otherwise! Take a look: Revelation 18:1-4 Who specifically are the 7th last plaques for? Babylon - the Roman Catholic Church and the fallen Protestant churches who have held onto false teachings of Rome and united with Rome in this ecumenical movement, committing fornication with the world and it's leaders. Which is why God is calling HIS PEOPLE to come out! Yes! His people! Which shows Babylon to be the 'fallen' churches, and God is calling out His people who are still caught in these apostate churches, so that they do not receive of the plaques that are coming upon those churches. Come out, come out! And seek the Lord with all your heart while He may be found! So what must we do? We are told in Isaiah 55 to 'seek the Lord', to 'forsake our sinful ways and thoughts and return unto the Lord.' In Jeremiah 29:13 we are told that we will FIND the Lord when we do what? When we 'search for God with all our heart.' The first of the 'greatest' commandments tells us to 'love the Lord our God with ALL our heart, with ALL our soul, with ALL our strength and with ALL our mind.' (Luke 10:27). This means total surrender to the Lord and His ways. If we do this. If we seek the Lord with all our heart, praying, studying and seeking life through faith in Christ, then we will find Him and He will save us! Look at what God's remnant people - the wise virgins - who gain victory over this world do: Revelation 14:1 Do you see what these do? Do they follow the world wherever it goes? No! Do they follow the churches wherever they go? No! They follow the Lord Jesus Christ wherever He goes. They are not deceived by the teachings and ways of man, because they have their eyes fixed upon Christ. He is their teacher and leader. Friends, the bridegroom is coming! And that door of mercy is soon to be closed. Please, please seek the Lord with all your heart while He may be found. Be a wise virgin and have your lamp trimmed (sin trimmed away from your life) and filled with oil (life filled with the Spirit of Christ) and be ready in Christ. Revelation 15:5-8 "This point of time reached, mercy no longer pleads. The intercession of Jesus before the throne and his iinvitations to sinners to come and find pardon, have ceased ... O, sinner! O, careless professor! Now is the time to prepare for this most solemn and fearful event. Now a compassionate Saviour pleads the merits of his own blood before the mercy-seat. Now he invites you to come and wash in the fountain, so freely opened, and at such a cost! But abused mercy will no longer cease to plead. The time will soon come when that blood that has been slighted and trampled under foot will cease to atone for the guilty." (The Signs of the Times, June 24, 1880, p.283) Bless! |

This now brings us onto another 'type' in the covenant model, which points to the final atonement work that Christ was to fulfill. God instituted a ceremony called 'the day of atonement', which was to be performed only once a year on the tenth day of the seventh month by the High Priest alone. Let us take a look at the Bible verses concerning this ceremony:
Leviticus 16:2-30 Wow! This was an incredible ceremony and yet so many professed Christians cannot see the importance of this 'type' and 'shadow' that was to be fulfilled by Christ. We learned earlier in this page that the sins of the people were transferred onto the sacrificial animal, and then into the sanctuary by the mediation of the priest. Were the sins of the people counted as forgiven any time of the year, if by faith they offered the sacrifice and the priest made atonement for their sacrifice in the sanctuary? Yes, absolutely, the sins of the people were forgiven at any time when their offering was made and the priest made atonement for them. But their sins were NOT 'blotted out' at that time. They were still 'on record' in the sanctuary. And this is where the day of atonement came into play on the tenth day of the seventh month each year. The day of atonement had a number of purposes. It was a type of judgment of the people, which is why they had to "afflict their souls", and it was also for the complete removal of sins from the people and from the records in the sanctuary, which is why the 'live scape goat' received the sins and was led into the wilderness away from the sanctuary and the congregation. And this day of atonement 'type', the removal of sin, was NOT completed by Christ on the cross. No, it is now being fulfilled by Christ our High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary. So what importance does this have for us today? Let us think about some things regarding the day of atonement: Was atonement made for the sinner who was not grieved over their sins and continued to live in self pleasure seeking and sin? The short answer is absolutely not! As we read above in Leviticus 16,the people were to "afflict their souls" during this annual ceremony, the day of atonement. And look at what it says in Leviticus 23 concerning this: Leviticus 23:27-29 So as we can see, those were not afflicted during this time, those who were not grieved by their sins and sought to put them away completely, sacrificing all to the Lord, would be 'cut off' from among the people. So if Jesus is fulfilling this day of atonement 'type' in heaven, 'blotting out' our sins from the record books, to make final atonement for us, what should we be doing as His people? Why should be deeply grieved over our sins and be seeking to turn away from all sin, putting them away, allowing Christ to completely cleanse us of all sin, giving us complete victory over them. This is what Christ is doing now in heaven during this 'anti-typical' day of atonement. He is not only blotting out our sins from the record books in the heavenly sanctuary, 'cleansing the sanctuary. He is seeking to blot out sin FROM OUR LIVES, cleansing our 'body temple.' But those who continue living for this world, living in wilful sin and self pleasure seeking will NOT receive atonement and will be 'CUT OFF' from among God's people! Do you see the importance of this? 2 Peter 3:11 The 'cleansing' of the heavenly sanctuary of sin, the literal fulfillment of the day of atonement began in 1844, of which the 2300 day prophecy of Daniel pointed to. Now if Jesus made complete atonement on the cross, then all past and future sins of everyone who accepts the sacrifice of Christ has been completely atoned for already, and therefore those people are saved, no matter what they do after accepting the sacrifice of Christ. This is what 'once saved, always saved' people believe. They believe once our names are in the book of life in heaven, we cannot be lost. But the Bible teaches otherwise! Revelation 3:5 For Jesus to say that those who 'OVERCOME' He will NOT blot out their names from the book of life, tells us that He WILL blot out the names of those who do NOT overcome. Can you see the role of Jesus as our High Priest in Revelation 3 above? He is making final atonement for us with the Father in the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary, of which the earthly was a copy. And it is only those who abide by faith in Jesus, surrendering and sacrificing ALL to Him, allowing Jesus to cleanse us from ALL sin, making us 'overcomers', who will REMAIN in the book of life. You only need to look at the 'type' God gave us in the Old Testament. Look at how many Jews were destroyed and forever LOST due to their continued sinful lives and disobedience. And yet these were 'God's people.' The same applies to us today. If we 'claim' to have faith in Jesus, but continue to live worldly lives of sin and disobedience to God's will, then we too will be destroyed and forever lost. This is why God gave us these 'types' in the Old Testament, to teach us and lead us in the ways of righteousness. Continue! |

Whenever we challenge the mainstream teaching on some doctrine, we always tent to get a number of people staying. ....."Well, this has the belief of the majority for centuries, so it must be right. I'm not going to go along with just a few who believe differently. It's the majority have the truth. " So I thought let's look in the Bible and see if this statement is correct or not. In my little opinion, I don't think following or doing something because majority are into it. Why? First because I believe I am uniquely created, with my own personality and don't need to be lost in the crowd. Secondly and most importantly narrow is the way that leads to life, while Broad is the way unto death. I hope my reply makes meaning to you. |

Let me continue with what is the battle of Armageddon.
Revelation 16:12...' And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great rivers Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. The start of the sixth plaque is the 'drying up of the great river Euphrates', So it is important to understand what this drying up of the river is, so as to then to be able to understand the battle that is to come from it. There are many people in the church today who believe that the 'waters' of the river Euphrates to be symbolic for many 'people's, nation and tongues', just as Revelation 17:15 says regarding the 'sea' which the beast risen up out of. Now it is clear that the waters of a 'sea' in prophecy represents many nations people and tongues. Which is why many in the church today believe this 'drying up' of the river is a symbolic drying up of many people and nations more specifically, the drying up of the Roman Catholic Church. But I believe this to be wrong, and I will show you why. Will continue later. |

Exodus 32 9 And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 10 Now therefoEre let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. 11 And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? 12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. Pay close attention yourself now. Deuteronomy 4 9 And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. 11 And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? 12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. Ezekiel 37:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. Ezekiel 20:44 And ye shall know that I am the Lord when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord God. You believe your cult has replaced Israel and you will get to enjoy the blessings without enduring the curses? Deuteronomy 30 1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, 2 And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; 3 That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee. 4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: 5 And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. 6 And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. 7 And the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. Israel is being regathered before our eyes, not because they are great but because God is great. Isaiah 59:1 Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: Romans 9:27....'Isaiah also crieth concerning Israel, though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.' Pleace don't think by saying "Israel", that the Bible just means the literal nation of Israel. Because the literal nation of Israel are no longer God's chosen people. Christians have now taken on the name Israel in a spiritual sense. Did you catch what Paul said above in Romans? Even though the number of the children of Israel is as the sand of the sea, in other words, a Hudge number, only a remnant will be saved Now we all know what the word remnant means - a small amount left. Tho applies to the Christians world today. Although there are millions upon millions of proffesing Christians, only a few in corporation will actually be saved. I will continue later. |

Take a look at the following Bible verses:
Exodus 19:5-6....' Now therefore, If ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be peculiar treasure unto me above all people: For all the earth is mine: and ye shall be unto me a kindom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.' 1King 6:12-13...'Concerning this house which thou art in building, If thou walk in my statutes, and execute my judgment, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, Then I will perform my word with thee, which l spake unto David thy father.' Do you see if you obey? If you obey me, THEN I will keep my covenant with you. But if you not obey me then I will REPENT of the good I promised. CONDITIONAL ! And we all know that the Jewish nation continued to sin against GOD and reject Christ Jesus as their Savior! Therefore BREAKING the "everlasting covenant" which would only remain as an everlasting covenant through obedience. |

Isaiah 1:9...'Expect the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very smal remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like Gomorrah.'
Isaiah 10:20....' And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.' Roman 9:27...'Isaiah also crieth concerning Israel, though the number of the children of Israel be the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.' PLEASE don't think by saying "Israel", that the Bible just means the literal nation of Israel. Because the literal nation of Israel are no longer God's chosen people. Christians have now taken on the name Israel in a spiritual sence. |

The remnant church is something that many Christians don't think about, because most profesing Christians trust that their belief alone in Jesus makes them part of the true church of God, whether or not they are truly walking with the Lord. But is this right, or do God has a true remnant people during these end times? Who is the remnant church talking about in the Bible? Throughout His Word, God has declared that He would keep a people for Himself, a true people who would obey Him and not wander from His truth.

yet then people were baptized in moses days, crossing the sea. some died why? Cause of their actions. [Quote ] No one of them has died when they have crossing the sea. Only pharaohs soldiers. On the cross with Jesus a thief said to jesus forgive me. With his mouth. the thief was not baptize in water,[quote ] Jesus the life is still there with him. The true baptism begin with the Holy Spirit. Read acts 2 so clearly the mouth and actions has a sting, it can hate or heal. which are we? but actions and mouth together is powerful it shows people around us what we love. james 2) 6 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. |

What is the battle of Armageddon? Part1
If you relied on Hollywood to tell you what Armageddon is, then you think it is going to be a sort of disaster, like an asteroid hitting earth or something of that nature. But thankfully, we have the Bible to explain to us what the battle of Armageddon is, so we need not make wild guesses. And this is important to understand, because within the text of the sixth plague concerning Armageddon, we find the following advice: Revelation 16:15....'Behold I come as a thieve. Blessed is that he that watched, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.' So there is a blessing in understanding this event, because it is connected with the soon return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And we all need to be 'watching' that we are ready and found in Him, when He returns. Jesus said to His disciples before He was about to be taken to be crucified....' Watch and pray, that ye enter not in temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is week." (Matthew 26:41). We need to do likewise and know the sign of God coming, which will help us to get ready. So let us go through the text concerning the battle of Armageddon in the six plague and see if we can get an understanding of what is going to happen: Will be continued. |

My brother and sister this is the truth church. The 100% church you are searching for. Read Revelation 12:17 and 14:12. And don't forget John 10:1-17. Neither Matthew 25:31-46. See if you have all those qualities. And if you have it, teached others so they can see the truth.
