But before that happens God is going to destroy the world II Peter 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the HEAVENS were of old, and the EARTH standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the WORLD that then was, being overflowed with water, PERISHED: 7 But the HEAVENS and the EARTH, which are now, by the same word are KEPT IN STORE, reserved unto FIRE against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the DAY OF THE LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which the HEAVENS SHALL PASS AWAY with a great noise, and the ELEMENTS SHALL MELT with fervent heat, the EARTH also and the WORKS that are therein shall be BURNED UP. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be DISSOLVED, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the COMING of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for NEW HEAVENS and a NEW EARTH, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Isaiah 13:9 Behold, the DAY OF THE LORD COMETH, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. 10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. 11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. 12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. 13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. World: Kosmos (Strongs 2889) 1) an apt and harmonious arrangement or constitution, order, government 2) ornament, decoration, adornment, i.e. the arrangement of the stars, 'the heavenly hosts', as the ornament of the heavens. 1 Pet. 3:3 3) the world, the universe 4) the circle of the earth, the earth 5) the inhabitants of the earth, men, the human family 6) the ungodly multitude; the whole mass of men alienated from God, and therefore hostile to the cause of Christ 7) world affairs, the aggregate of things earthly a) the whole circle of earthly goods, endowments riches, advantages, pleasures, etc, which although hollow and frail and fleeting, stir desire, seduce from God and are obstacles to the cause of Christ 8) any aggregate or general collection of particulars of any sort a) the Gentiles as contrasted to the Jews (Rom. 11:12 etc) b) of believers only, John 1:29; 3:16; 3:17; 6:33; 12:47 1 Cor. 4:9; 2 Cor. 5:19 Yes. I believe the earth will abide, the destruction that is going to come upon it. I believe it will be "made as new" and cleansed by fire. The idea of the world referring moreso to the earthly and worldly system. It will be demolished, utterly and completely destroyed altogether. Therefore the world, must be warned, that it is indeed going to at some point in the near future come to a complete and final completion. It shall not continue forever. In regards to prophecies occurring before the great tribulation. I have been receiving one recurring message from the Lord: Warn my church, they are not ready. They do not know me. Judgment is coming, tribulation is coming. This is what I have been hearing continuously. I have had strong impressions and confirmations of a nuclear attack on America. This will preceed the Great Tribulation, it will definitely send America into a great tribulation, possible the one. The majority of believers at this time have been seperated from the voice of the Shepherd by the voice of the world and materialism. Believers have lost sight of the cross and what it means to die daily and to live a crucified life. The church is much too alive to themselves today, and therefore Christ has not been able to live His life effectively through His body. In order for Christ to be manifest to the world, the body is going to have to be crucified. We can submit to these truths ourselves, and commit our thoughts, opinions, emotions and will over to death. Or tribulation will force us. Christ will be glorified. God is going to purge and cleanse his church with fire through tribulation. Every son is chastened whom he loveth. He will not suffer us to be judged with the world. He is judging his body now. I encourage all who hear this message, to humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, submit yourself unto him, resist the devil and he will flee from you. Come out of the world and be seperate, wholly, consecrated and seperated for the service of the Lord. Let your words, be his words. Your thoughts his thoughts, your will, his will. Let him live his life through you. Let go of your own ways, desires and lusts. They will only hinder you from living His life. This is why he said, when he returns they will be eating and drinking and marrying. They will be caught up in the cares of this life doing their own thing. Not necessarily and openly sinning. When he comes, who will he find feeding the hungry, visiting the sick and imprisoned, clothing the naked. Is it you? Is it I? This is why he said he will come in an hour when we are not looking. If we were truly looking for him to come, we would want to be faithfully found doing what he told us to do. Remember, pure religion and undefiled before God is this, to visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction and to keep himself unspotted from the world! Are we doing this? He didn't say, going to church or paying your tithes. This is not what makes you a Christian! We must keep ourselves unspotted from the world! Remember all that is in the world is the LUST OF THE FLESH, LUST OF THE EYE, AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE. All these things we have FAITHFULLY DONE! LORD HELP US. LUST OF THE FLESH: BMWS, MERCEDES BENZ, CADILLAC AND LEXUS! DIAMONDS, GOLD, FURS AND LUXURIOUS LIVING. WE HAVE NO LACK OR NEED OF ANYTHING. WE HAVE ALL THAT OUR FLESH LUSTS AFTER. LUST OF THE EYE: TELEVISION! PRIDE OF LIFE: MATERIALISM, EDUCATION, TITLES AND POSITION None of these things are seemingly evil. But isn't it interesting how we have amazingly done all these things, and left the others undone. Who are we serving? God, or ourselves? May the Lord add a blessing to the reading and the hearing of his word. Amen. |
