Trusting God's Word!

(Revelation 11:3) “…and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth."

This clearly means the two appointed men that God has chosen will prophesy and what they say will happen, not every other Tom, Dick and Harry. We must take much of what men and women claim to be from God with a pinch of salt. It is nothing more than vain puffed-up imaginations.

I’m noticing that everything is geared to explain away one of the greatest events of all time, the coming of the Lord. The Rapture will happen because the Bible has so declared it shall happen. God the Holy Spirit its author and nothing He has ever declared has not come to pass. What is the enemy to do? He endeavour’s to rationalize whatever scripture declares and makes what was and is miraculous as something that can be understood by the natural, until his time arrives. He steers us away from the truth of scripture, this is not something new as he was a liar from the beginning. But what seems to fascinate me is the way in which he keeps abreast with the times in relation to biblical prophecy. He knows that the coming of the Lord’s hour is at hand and so for some years now especially Hollywood has played its part conditioning the minds of many. There have been a lot of movies of late about Aliens and the end of the world, but there is always some who survive the onslaught. “Avatar” the movie with lots of undertones; a particular species taping into mother earth and drawing substance from her, serving the creature rather than the creator, with Satan not the creator as he was created and yet he wishes to be served as an equal to his creator, God! This will never happen, sure chaos will seem to rule the earth for a time, but this is all by permission, God has so ordain it. Satan will have his hour, but then he shall be cast into the Lake of Fire.

What is he to do while he prepares the hearts of those in believing his lies before his time finally arrives? It is obvious! He uses our God given senses which have fallen prey to the corruption of sin to ensnare us. To get people to continuously believe a lie! To try and disprove historical events that the Bible has recorded; take the crossing of the Red Sea, how many takes have I heard on that? The water was only ankle deep where they cross and yet that also backfire on the critics, because the whole Egyptian army was then drowned in ankle deep water. Straw men (decoys), looking to disprove actual events that took place in times past, and they continue to try and disprove what will happen in the future. Prophesy in the Bible will always happen as God has declared it. The Lord Jesus will come to fetch His bride as a thief in the night, but He will come and once He has shown Himself I wonder how the world will explain it away, if that could be possible, time will tell!

This was posted on my Facebook page, a beautiful picture but what caught my attention was the explanation in the caption; “This is a rare meteorological phenomenon called a skypunch. When people see these, they think it's the end of the world. Ice crystals form above the high-altitude cirro-cumulo-stratus clouds, then fall downward, punching a hole in the cloud cover. Freakishly weird!”

 “And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” (Luke 21:27):- Just by the association of the clouds people are drawn to certain conclusions, which is not accurate and who knows what will be said when Christ’s bride is raptured. This may well be a stretch of my own imagination but be that as it may, it is awareness to our surrounding that I wish to provoke as we explore beyond the surface for understanding. 

With this understanding; whatever looks to contradict the scriptures is a lie, it is a straw man looking to deceive, the Word of God is the final authority and not our vain imaginations, but Satan will use our imaginations to try and trip us into believing a lie, be alert, be on guard! Jesus is coming and He is coming as a thief in the night.

“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.” (1Corinthians 15:3-5)

Wherever your mind or those around look to take you remember that there is only one place of safety when it comes to accurate doctrine, not our imaginations but rather the answers will be found according to the scriptures. We must learn to trust nothing outside of God’s Holy Word, the Bible!
