No Corners Cut, No Pacifying, No Round-About Way

“Uh, Oh!”

By Lou Yeboah

That moment when you realize that you should have listen. Uh, Oh- That moment when you realize that you should have heeded God’s warnings. Uh, Oh – That moment when you realize that you are in Hell. Uh, Oh, [Luke 16:28].

Feasting on sin, giving yourself over to the present gratification, careless of the warnings of God’s Word, indifferent to the rebuke of conscience, saying to yourself: ‘There is no danger; I know the strength of my will, and before I near the rapids I shall fly away to safer habits and purer ways.’ But when the time comes, and the roar of impending judgment rings in your ear, you will find out that your will is paralyzed, that your affections and desires are so entangled in sin that you cannot escape. Uh, Oh – that moment when you realize that you should have heeded God’s warnings.

Change your ways today. Get off the broad way that leads to destruction and get on the narrow way that leads to life. Jesus is not playing games with us. You see, no one loves us more than Jesus does, and no one have warned us more of judgment and Hell than He did. He gave warning after warning and told parable after parable, practically shouting about judgment and the reality of Hell.

Don’t be bewitched by the fairy tale ending that everyone “lived happily ever after.” Just ask the rich man in hell… Meanwhile God is pleading, Come to me. Come to me before it is finally time to rise and close the door. You can’t go on living resistant and opposed to the Kingdom of God and its values, yet magically at death suddenly want to enter His Kingdom, which you have resisted your whole life.

Don’t choose the fleeting pleasures of sin and miss the Kingdom of God. Jesus says in [Mark 9:43-48], “And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Why go to hell when you don’t have to?

Jesus scolded, begged, and pleaded with the Jews, to open their blind eyes and soften their hard hearts, to turn away from the broad way that leads to destruction, but to no avail. Jesus cried out in sorrowful desperation; “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!” [Matthew 23:37].

 

One of the saddest passages in Scripture is Jeremiah 6:16, “… they said, We will not walk in it.” Uh Oh!

 

“I Tell You, the Way of a Fool is Right in His Own Eyes, But A Wise Man Listens to Advice!” [Proverbs 12:15]

By Lou Yeboah

Throughout Bible history, God has repeatedly provided man with more than “ample warning” of His impending judgments. His purpose for warning man is to motivate him to repent and come back to Him [Luke 15; 1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 3:9; Revelation 8; Revelation 9]. Don’t wait until it’s too late! Repent while it is still daybreak.

You see, prior to Jeremiah, God had sent Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, Micah, and Nahum to the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. He had also sent Jonah to the empire of Assyria. All of them warned of tragedy and disaster if the people did not turn to God. Such warnings reach all the way back to Moses, who recorded the “Blessings and Curses” of Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28, detailing what God will do to a people who reject Him.

Christ, through Noah, preached God’s Word to the people living in Noah’s day warning them of certain judgment through the impending flood [Genesis 6:13; Hebrews 11:7; 1 Peter 3:18-20]. They did not listen. They did not repent and heed God’s warning and perished in the flood. Only eight souls heeded God’s “ample warning” and were saved [Genesis 7:7; 1 Peter 3:20]. Genesis 3:6 says, God’s claim on mankind is illustrated by His dealing with Adam and Eve and their response. I tell you, the way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.

Note the example given of disobedient Israel by the Hebrew writer in Hebrews 3:5-19. The disobedient did not “enter into his rest” [Numbers 14:29-30; Hebrews 3:18] because they didn’t repent and heed God’s warning through the testimony of Moses [Hebrews 3:5].

You’ve been warned over and over again to repent. Don’t wait until it’s too late! Jesus spoke about a world-wide tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” [Matthew24:21]. The warnings given before the judgment are about to come true. Take heed.

As the Prophet Hosea warned in [Hosea 13:15-16] “An east wind from the LORD will come, blowing in from the desert. The people of Samaria must bear their guilt because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open.” The warning signs were there, but Israel refused to heed the warnings of God.

Heed the warnings of God. Be humble, be teachable, and be wise. You’ve been warned over and over again to repent before it is too late! Repent while it is still daybreak!

Now they sin more and more; they make idols for themselves from their silver, cleverly fashioned images, all of them the work of craftsmen. “They offer human sacrifices! They kiss calf-idols!” Therefore, they will be like the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears, like chaff swirling from a threshing floor, like smoke escaping through a window.

“Because I have been the Lord your God ever since you came out of Egypt. You shall acknowledge no God but me, no Savior except me. I cared for you in the wilderness, in the land of burning heat. When I fed them, they were satisfied; when they were satisfied, they became proud; then they forgot me. So, I will be like a lion to them, like a leopard I will lurk by the path. Like a bear robbed of her cubs, I will attack them and rip them open; like a lion I will devour them— a wild animal will tear them apart. You are destroyed, because you are against me, against your helper. I will have no compassion. An east wind from the Lord will come, blowing in from the desert; The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open.” [Hosea 13:1-16 – Excerpts taken].

I Tell You, the Way of a Fool is Right in His Own Eyes, But A Wise Man Listens to Advice!

“Ye Hypocrites, Ye Can Discern the Face of the Sky and of the Earth But How Is It That Ye Do Not Discern this Time?”

By Lou Yeboah

Repent before it is too late! Judgment is Coming! The word of the Lord that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, during the reign of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah: Judgment on the Whole Earth in the Day of the Lord – I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the Lord. I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling blocks with the wicked: and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the Lord. I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests; And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the Lord, and that swear by Malcham; And them that are turned back from the Lord; and those that have not sought the Lord, nor enquired for him. I will punish the princes, and the king’s children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel. In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and a howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills. [Zephaniah 1:2-10].

Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready! The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness; the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all of them that dwell in the land. [Zephaniah 1:14-18].

I tell you, the importance of discerning the times and seasons. God’s prophetic time clock is ticking. God’s judgment is coming. Don’t be like the rich famer. The rich farmer had no idea that judgment was coming. He had just decided to build bigger barns and live a good life. God immediately said to him: “Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?” [Luke 12:20].

Listen, whether Christ returns tomorrow or a thousand years from now, your life may be required of you tonight. Don’t be a scoffer. Wake up and get things right! Live in the awareness of God’s judgment to come. For the Lord is stripping the earth bare and making it desolate. He is twisting its surface and scattering its inhabitants. The earth will be stripped completely bare and will be totally plundered, for the Lord has spoken this message. [Isaiah 24:1-3].

The importance of discerning the times and seasons. Ye hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky and of the earth but how is it that ye do not discern this time. Wake up from your slumber! In one hour, judgment will fall, and all will be laid to waste.

Ample warning times – but many will go to hell because they have chosen to ignore the warnings and continue life as usual, what tragedy.

 

“I Want You to Know – There are Consequences to Pay When One Does Not Heed the Warnings of God!”

By Lou Yeboah

You see, God began human history with a warning. He told Adam and Eve that if they ate of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they would surely die. [Genesis 2:17]. The soul that sins shall die [Ezekiel 18:20]. There are consequences to pay when one does not heed the warnings of God. If you continue to disobey and live in sin, God’s anger will descend on you like King Manasseh. Don’t take God’s grace for granted. Repent before it is too late!

“A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.” [Proverbs 22:3]. How long will you simple ones love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?” [Proverbs 1:22]. “How long will you keep ignoring the warning signs and live for your own ways and desires as if there are no consequences for doing so?” Proverbs 14:12; 16:25 reminds us that, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” God’s warnings always precede God’s judgment!

Case in point, before the tragedy that befell the house of Eli, the death of his two sons and his own death, God had warned about the sin of Eli’s sons and his failure to discipline them. He warned of the impending judgment. “Then the LORD said to Samuel, ‘I am about to do a shocking thing in Israel. I am going to carry out all my threats against Eli and his family. I have warned him continually that judgment is coming for his family, because his sons are blaspheming God and he hasn’t disciplined them. So, I have vowed that the sins of Eli and his sons will never be forgiven by sacrifices or offerings” [1 Samuel 3:11-14]. Why? Because they had squandered the opportunities, to repent. God’s warnings always precedes His judgment.

The angels who came to execute God’s judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah told Lot, “‘Run for your lives!’ the angels warned. ‘Do not stop anywhere in the valley. And don’t look back! Escape to the mountains, or you will die.’” [Genesis 19:17]. But Lot’s wife didn’t heed their warning. She looked back. Therefore, God’s judgment came upon her. She became a pillar of salt [Genesis 19:26]. I tell you, there are consequences to pay when one does not heed the warnings of God!

Be like the people of Nineveh who repented and believe that God will do what He said he would do. Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them. Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes”

The king took Jonah’s message very seriously and caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, “Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water. But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; let everyone turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?” [Jonah 3:5-9].

“When God saw that they had put a stop to their evil ways, he had mercy on them and didn’t carry out the destruction he had threatened” [Jonah 3:10]. God’s warning always comes before His judgment. Your response to His warnings determines what happens to you. As Daniel told King Nebuchadnezzar [Daniel 4:27] please listen to me. Stop sinning and do what is right. God’s warning comes before His Judgment. [Ezekiel 18:20].

God did not just let them go into sin. He sent messenger after messenger, prophet after prophet, judge after judge, king after king—and they never listened. Even though God had compassion on them and wanted to save them from this, they were not willing. [2 Chronicles 36:15].
“Prepare to meet your God, O Israel!” [Amos 4:12].

 

The Book Needed for the Times that We Are Living In

SAN BERNARDINO, CA — As the Apostle Peter warned, for if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly [2 Peter 2:4-5] killing every man, woman and child who spurned and ignored his warning, what do you think will happen if we continue to ignore His warnings? We too will experience the utter wrath of God. [Romans 11:21]. Isaiah warned the people that they must be in tune with God’s timing and not presume that they would always have the ear of the Lord. His words, “Seek the Lord while he may be found,” stressed the urgency of the time of decision. [Isaiah 55:6-9]

Could’ve, Would’ve, Should’ve – But Didn’t – What Tragedy!

By Lou Yeboah

I tell you; the message of the rich man should be a warning to all of us. He awoke to the fact of eternity too late. He lifted up his eyes too late. He was too busy in life to stop and look up. He was too absorbed with the Now to think of the Here-after. Could’ve, Would’ve Should’ve – But Didn’t – What Tragedy! This sad story should be a warning to each of us, not to take for granted the grace of God, as well as to realize that there are irreversible decisions in life.

If you are reading this message today and don’t know Christ as your personal Savior, do not wait till it’s too late. The weightiest application here is that one day it will be too late for repentance. As [Hebrews 9:27] says, “It is appointed for me to die once and after this comes judgment. The rich man in [Luke 16] discovered that too late. His destiny was now fixed and like in Esau’s case “there was no place for repentance.” May each of us learn from him, and from Esau, and not wait until it is too late to consider the cost of our decisions and actions.

Right now, there is still time to repent before God releases the last three trumpet judgments, referred to as “woes”. Don’t wait till it’s too late. Heed the warnings. Now is the time to set your life right. Now is the time to get your house in order. Now is the time to repent! Now is the time to put oil in your lamp. Do not be complacent. Don’t wait till it’s too late. Regrets are a killer. The rich man in his eternity of suffering is a man of regrets. He knew he was in hell, and he knew why. Don’t you do it for the Bible makes it very clear that there is a time coming when you won’t be able to be saved. These are the end times, the time of great tribulation, when God will pour out his wrath and judgment on an unbelieving world that will refuse him to the end. The Bible says God will give them up. They will curse God as they are being scorched with hailstones. They will try to hide from his wrath in vain, they will seek death, but death will flee from them. Don’t you do it. Repent and be converted that your sins may be blotted out [Acts 3:19].

For no one is excluded from Jesus’ demand to repent. He made this clear when a group of people came to him with news of two calamities. Innocent people had been killed by Pilate’s massacre and by the fall of the tower of Siloam [Luke 13:1-4]. Jesus took the occasion to warn even the bearers of the news: “Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish” [Luke 13:5]. Jesus, the Son of God, is warning us of the judgment to come, and offering escape if we will repent. If you don’t repent, Jesus has one word, “Woe, unto you” [Matthew 11:21].

The Bible says our earthly lives are a “mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes” [James 4:14]. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?” [Matthew 16:26; Mark 8:36]. Could’ve, Should’ve Would’ve – But Didn’t – What Tragedy!

“Father Abraham Please Send Lazarus to My Father’s House…”

By Lou Yeboah

… And let him tell my five brothers not to come to this place! [Luke 16:27-31].

Listen, the man in Hell was very specific about the message he wanted to send to his brothers. He pleaded with Abraham, ‘I beg you, Father Abraham, send Lazarus to my father’s house, I have five brothers that he may warn them, lest they too come to this place of torment. Abraham replied, they have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them. He said, ‘Oh No, Father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent. Then Abraham said, ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.

There is a powerful warning here for every person who has not repented. The rich man had many opportunities to repent before he died. However, he did not and had to face the consequences. I can only think of one thing worse than going to Hell; and that would be to go to Hell with Heaven on your mind.

I tell you, wisdom is the principal thing, but in all your getting, get an understanding. [Proverbs 4:7]. Hell is a place of outer darkness, eternal weeping, and gnashing of teeth. Hell is a place where there is eternal torment and pain in unquenchable flames. Hell is a place of terrible memories and horrible thirst. Hell is a place prepared for the devil and his angels, and all those who reject Jesus as their Savior. Hell is a place of eternal separation from the presence of God. “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. Two Gates: Two Paths, only Two destinies before every man, and each of us must choose one or the other. A Point of Decision. Which will it be? Heaven or Hell? The door is open now. Soon it will be too late!

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come into him, and will sup with him, and he with me. [Revelation 3:20].

“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from. [Luke 13:24].

The rains came, the ark was sealed, in desperation people sought, begged, cried, but it was too late. [Genesis 7:10; Matthew 25:10].

“As Mother’s Day Approaches There May Be Some Who Say – She Don’t Deserve to Be Honored!”

By Lou Yeboah

Well, I hate to burst your bubble, God never said if you thought she deserved to be honored, he said: “Honor thy father and thy mother.” Honor—No Ifs, Ands, Or Buts! There is no escape clause at the end of these verses. Over and over in Scripture, God commands us to “honor” our parents. It’s a command that thy days may be long upon the land that the LORD your God is giving you. A commandment with a promise [Ephesians 6:2]. In honoring your father and mother, you are rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man. [Ephesians 6:7]. The primary teaching here is that if Israel would keep the Fifth Commandment, the nation would dwell in Canaan without interruption—but if Israel’s homes were ruined by disobedient children—then, neither strong armies nor walled cities could stop the enemy.

For thus saith the Lord; I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments. For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.” [Colossians 2:1-23].

I tell you, one of the most powerful ways we can honor our parents; mother, and father, besides giving them our respect and obedience, is to choose to forgive forward. God tells us that He will bless us as we honor our parents. So as “Mother’s Day” approaches, think of ways to be kind to your mother in spite of. Do it as if you are doing it unto the Lord, with thanksgiving and praise to whom all glory and honor is do.

Because as Tupac Shakur said in his lyrics [Dear Mama -2Pac], “Ain’t a woman alive that could take my mama’s place – I gotta thank the Lord that you made me. Dear Mama, You are appreciated.”

Celebrating and Honoring ALL Mothers – Happy Mother’s Day to you!

“Grid Your Loins!”

By Lou Yeboah

Because the “Final Antichrist” is about to announce himself! The world stage has already been prepared. They have everything already planned so that in the midst of the chaos, the crisis that the world is now experiencing, the Antichrist may appear as peacemaker and savior of humanity. Do not be deceived! He is already among us; He is waiting in the wings. Be alert and be vigilant! You will recognize his appearance when he makes his world declaration “My children, I bring you, my Peace.”

“And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?” [Revelation 13:1-4]. He will be strong-willed and reckless in his determination to have his way. He will boast non-stop about himself [ Daniel 7:8]. He will be “given a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies” [Revelation 13:5]. He will show contempt for human traditions and will, and he will speak great words against the Most High and shall wear out the saints of the Most High and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time [Daniel 7:25; 11:36]. He will be possessed by Satan, just as Judas was [Luke 22:3]. His power will be mighty, “but not by his own power” [Daniel 8:24]. His coming will be “in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders” [2 Thessalonians 2:9]. He will be a “worker of deceit. [Psalm 52:2]. His speech will be “smoother than butter” but his heart will be filled with war. [Psalms 55:21]. He will be “a man of bloodshed and deceit.” [Psalms 5:6]. He will confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week, he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” [Daniel 9:27].

Be Alert! Be Vigilant! For the Antichrist energized by Satan [Daniel 8:24] will seem to have all the answers to the world’s problems. He will take over the European Union through skillful intrigue [Daniel 8:23] and will establish his headquarters in Rome [Revelation 17:3,9,18]. “The Final Antichrist” who will be proud, arrogant, lawless, evil, powerful, a blasphemer, a slanderer, a destroyer, a deceiver, an impostor, a truth-hater, a liar, a persecutor, a murderer, a devilish man, a Satanist, is waiting in the wings. Keep your eyes wide open because he, the “Final Antichrist” will be a key instrument, a critical player in the time before Christ’s return.

God will allow him to make himself known only after the Warning… Urgent call from Jesus the Good Shepherd to His Flock. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, the coming Antichrist, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

“He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. Don’t you remember that when I was with you, I used to tell you these things? And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason, God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. [2 Thessalonians 2:3-11].

Might you be awake. Might you be alert. [Romans 13:11].

“My Anguish, My Anguish!”

By Lou Yeboah

I writhe in pain! Oh, the pain in my chest! My heart pounds within me; I cannot be silent. For I have heard the sound of the horn, the alarm of battle. [Jeremiah 4:19]. Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation, and destruction. [Lamentations 3:47; Jeremiah 50:22]. “I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, ‘Release the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.” The four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, day, month, and year, to kill a third of mankind. I also heard the number of the horsemen to be two hundred million” [Revelation 9:13-16]. My Anguish, My Anguish! I cannot be silent.

“For the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the Lord” [Jeremiah 51:48]. They themselves will be terrorized by the destruction and havoc they unleashed upon the earth. “The Lord of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth. He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the Lord hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong hold thereof [Isaiah 23:9,11]. Soon, very soon, a nightmare will explode into reality. It will come suddenly and without warning. [Jeremiah 51:13] and few will escape. In one hour, it will all be over! Our days are numbered. Judgment is at the door!” And the church is asleep, the congregations are at ease, and the shepherds slumber. Oh, the pain in my chest! My heart pounds within me; I cannot be silent. I have heard the sound of the horn, the alarm of battle.

“The Second Woe is past, and behold, the Third Woe is coming quickly. Once the seventh seal is opened the trumpet judgments begin. These seven trumpets are “The Day of the Lord.” They are God’s wrath on mankind for refusing to believe. “Then I looked and heard an Eagle flying in mid-heaven saying with a loud voice, woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth because of the remaining blast of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound [Revelation 8:13]. Open your ears. The trumpet is blowing!

For it is a matter of God’s judgment that this world has been given more than enough time and information to know and to understand what is about to come upon it in the form of a final war. But how will they scoff and laugh at this message. Theologians will reject it because they can’t fit it into their doctrine. The pillow prophets of peace and prosperity will publicly denounce it. I no longer care. God has made my face like flint and put steel in my backbone. I am blowing the Lord’s trumpet with all my might. Believe it or not, the world is about to be shaken and set aside by swift and horrible judgments. Judgment is at the door! Prepare, awaken!

But He said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, but he that is able to receive it, let him receive it. [Revelation 19:11-12].

Perhaps only the overcomers will accept and hear the sound of this trumpet blast, but I proceed with these warnings because God called me to be a watchman. I hear the Word of God to Ezekiel ringing in my ears, “[Daughter] of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts and set him as their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blows the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood will be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come and blow not the trumpet. and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; So, thou, O [daughter] of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore, thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me” [Ezekiel 33:2-7]. My Anguish, My Anguish! I writhe in pain!
