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

Why? Why would you delay? You know one of the most tragic phrases in the English language is “too late.”  It indicates something that once held promise now is without hope.  Listen, I cannot tell you when the door will shut, only that it will shut one day.  I cannot tell you who will be allowed into the kingdom of heaven, only that Jesus is the gatekeeper.  And according to the gatekeeper’s own testimony, there will be those who will be left outside, the foolish ones, the ones who were invited but rejected the invitation or were so negligent and casual about the invitation they failed to prepare properly for it.  Oh, foolish virgin. Don’t you know that the most important thing a person can do in this life is to get prepared for the next. To get ready to meet God. It’s your responsibility to do because one day you will stand face to face with Christ either by death; [Hebrews 9:27] or by rapture; [1 Thessalonians 4:16-17] and you want to be ready because once the master of the house gets up and closes the door, you’ll stand outside knocking and pleading, Lord, Lord, open the door for us. But “He will answer,” I don’t know you or where you come from.

Please don’t wait until it’s too late!  For when the Lord comes again, the time for salvation is gone! Be ready… this is the basic message of the parable. Oh, Foolish Virgins!

Ain’t nobody preparing for Christ Return. That’s a darn shame!  Jesus Christ is coming back and according to [1 Corinthians 7:29] the appointed time has grown very short. That stands as both a warning and a promise. Why are you not preparing for Christ return? Christ’s return is imminent, and his timeline makes it urgent. And given the urgency of the time, how then shall we live? I tell you, everybody prepared for the Solar Eclipse, but ain’t nobody preparing for Christ Return. That’s a darn shame!

Jesus calls us to watch for his return. Why? “For we know neither the day nor the hour” [Matthew 25:13]. I admonish you to beware of the warning “As A Thief in the Night” [1 Thessalonians 5:2] because unlike man who gives us a date when they have things planned… the Lord’s return will be surprising to us [2 Peter 3:7-12] so prepare now! Make your election sure because if you are caught unprepared when Christ returns, you are going to live with regret for the rest of your life and you will have no one but yourself to blame, because God’s Word has already given you such ample warning that His coming will take place unexpectedly. Please do not let that warning go unheeded. Act upon it now!

For the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. [Matthews 24:35; 2 Pet. 3:10; Rev. 20:11].

Please be ready for His return! For the great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, [Zephaniah 1:14].

Because I have stretched out my hand and no one heeded, I will laugh at your calamity; I will mock you when panic strikes you like a storm, and your calamity comes like a whirlwind.  [Proverbs 1:20-25].

Understand the significance of the passage; after a certain point of perverse refusal has been past, God will NO LONGER plead and strive with you. [Genesis 6:3]. He will NO LONGER intervene between a man and the consequences of his folly. When God has had enough, it’s a moment of divine reckoning. This is a solemn warning – a call to turn from our own ways and respond to God’s gracious invitation. Don’t wait until it’s too late.  If you love your life, you should listen because God’s judgment on this Earth is a fact, and we must take the means of escape He provides. His words speak of consequences unseen, urging us to take them seriously. We must not dismiss His cautions for His power to fulfill warnings remains unchanged. [Colossians 3:6].

The people, both young and old, were ensnared by sin, their hearts hardened. They ignored the warning. So, God warns them that He would bring on them a major judgment—His wrath, their Day of the Lord, a day of “darkness, and not light” [Amos 5:12-20].

Don’t you know that My warnings are meant for your good? [2 Timothy 3:16]. Circumcise your hearts and avoid the calamity that awaits you. [Jeremiah Chapter 4]. For My Spirit shall not always strive with man. [Genesis 6:3]. Hear instructions and be wise, and do not refuse it. Flee for your life! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away. [Genesis 19:17]. Understand that I am not slow in keeping My promises, as some understand slowness. I am patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish. [2 Peter 3:9]. Return O backsliding children, says the Lord.

Don’t be one of the multitudes of people who will lift up their eyes from Hell, crying out as they remember the “random” incidences where the Holy Spirit tried to reach them. Don’t be like the Pharisees. Jesus in His great love sent the Pharisees men like the Apostle Paul to give warnings. God always gives us a warning or even multiple warnings before His judgment falls upon us. If you just look at our world today, there are many signs and warnings that God has and continues to give to us. These warnings are not meant for our destruction, but they are meant as a way to give us an opportunity before destruction comes. Understand the urgency of the times that we are living in.  The violence in the Middle East and even violence within our own nation is an outward manifestation of the warnings that God sends to us. Abnormal conditions within our world. Even weather patterns that are catastrophic serve as a warning.

Remember, God warned Noah that a global flood would cover the entire earth due to humanity’s wickedness. If Noah had ignored this warning, he and his family would have perished along with everyone else. But by heeding God’s warning, Noah ensured the survival of his family and the continuation of humanity. His faith saved them from the floodwaters. Noah’s faith demonstrated obedience, trust, and action. He believed in what he could not yet see and acted accordingly. In contrast, those who disregarded the warning faced condemnation. Their refusal to repent and heed God’s message led to their demise. My Stubborn, Heedless, Inattentive Children heed my warning. The Time is Near!

Although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Therefore, Hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure. [Isaiah 5:15]. They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might. [2 Thessalonians 1:9].

You best make up your mind and make it up fast. For this is what the Lord God says: ‘Disaster! Unprecedented disaster– is coming! [Ezekiel 7:5-7]. We are on a catastrophic path, one that will be so extreme that the world have never experienced anything like it before. [Matthew 24:21]. Think about that, unprecedented disaster. A day of wrath— a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness— [Zephaniah 1:15]. For the Lord has an indictment against the nations; he is entering into judgment with all flesh, and the wicked he will put to the sword. [Jeremiah 25: 31]. I Tell You, This Ain’t No Time to Be Wishy Washy.

Listen, it is one thing to be confused and need some guidance or direction. It’s another thing to know what needs to be done and go back and forth between options. The Bible clearly tells us that someday the world as we now know it will come to an end. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare” [2 Peter 3:10]. So, I ask you, how long will you falter between two opinions? Make your calling and election sure. [ 2 Peter 1:10]. For, This Ain’t No Time to Be Wishy Washy. Because the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you and surround you and hem you in on every side and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation. [Luke 19:43-44]

Come near, you nations, to hear; And heed, you people! For the indignation of the LORD is against all nations, and His fury against all their armies; He has utterly destroyed them, He has given them over to the slaughter.” Their slain shall be thrown out; Their stench shall rise from their corpses, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. For it is the day of the LORD’s vengeance, the year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

Destruction of the Nations – [Isaiah Chapter 34:1-4 8-10; Revelation 14:10-11 Revelation 16:14; Revelation19:3]

When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale; the sky vanished like a scroll that is rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the generals and the rich and the strong, and every one, slave and free, hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand before it?” [Revelation 6:12-17].

Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. This Ain’t No Time to Be Wishy Washy!

What has already happened, what continues to unfold, and what is yet to come.

One world government, one world religion, one world economy, [Daniel 2, Daniel 7, Revelation 17, 18, 13:11-18]. Confirming of a 7-year peace agreement with many [Daniel 9:27]. Intoxicating obsession with dividing Jerusalem [Zechariah 12:1-3]. Global cry for peace and security. [1 Thessalonians 5:3]. Increase of lawlessness. [2 Thessalonians 2:1-12]. Increase of wickedness [Genesis 6:6; Luke 17:26-29]. Massive earthquakes increasing in frequency and intensity. [Matthew 24:4-8; Luke 21:10-11]. Allied Invasion of Israel, led by Russia, Iran, and Turkey, [Ezekiel 38-39]. Sudden destruction of Damascus Syria. [Isaiah 17:1, Jeremiah 49: 23-27]. Mocking of Bible prophecy and the Lord’s return. [2 Peter 3]. What has already happened, what continues to unfold.

What is yet to come?

Confirmation of the Covenant. When the Antichrist and his world government system confirm Israel’s right to a homeland in the Middle East from that day, the day that it actually happens, the day that they decide on a plan and implement it and make it stick, where the borders of Israel are drawn and the Temple Mount is shared, and they sign a treaty, there will only be 7 years remaining until the Battle of Armageddon and the return of Jesus Christ! What has already happened, what continues to unfold, and what is yet to come.

Watch for increasing demand for international intervention and control over Jerusalem. Watch for the forming of what the Bible calls “the King of the South” arising in the Middle East and Northeastern Africa. Watch Europe—especially Germany. Watch for animal sacrifices to begin in Jerusalem. Watch for a charismatic miracle-working religious leader to rise up in Europe. End Time Bible Prophecy!

Three angels give a last warning to the inhabitants of the earth. The hour of judgment is come. Babylon makes all nations drink of the wrath of her fornication. Those who take the mark and worship the beast shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God. This isn’t a physical hour of time, it’s a figurative statement that a period of time has come. It’s the time just before the wrath of God.

“Whatever is going wrong, put your war clothes on. You might be in a daze but tell the devil he can’t have your praise. No matter the attack, you won’t turn back. This means War! He can’t have your family, he can’t have your increase, he can’t have your breakthrough, because you plead the blood of Jesus. You can’t take this lying down. Whenever the enemy’s attacking in your life, you can’t be breaking down and falling out, you gotta say, This means War!” [Charles Jenkins & Fellowship Chicago].

Understand we are fighting a spiritual war that underlies all of man’s wars.  This battle is for the salvation of souls, for our eternal destiny. This battle is real, so put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. So, gear up, [sword, shield, and armor] and prepare for battle. This means War!

You see, Satan knows that this is his last chance to win in his battle against God, and he’s going to “pull out all the stops.” He’s going to marshal every evil human power on earth, and this grand armada will devote its vast power to achieve one purpose: the total elimination of God’s people from the face of the earth.  He is without a doubt on the warpath and ready to destroy people’s livelihood. This is serious stuff. This is not for the faint hearted or the weak-kneed. This means War! And it’s time to start acting like it! Satan is not pulling any stops. He will come at you from every direction. He got his eyes set on you. Your enemy is prepared to overtake you. According to the War in Revelation [Chapter 13 and Chapter 19], Satan will use every spiritual tool he has ever devised, especially deception and force, to get you and me to surrender our faith in Jesus. The Hell with Satan. Gear up and prepare for battle. This means war!

Stand, therefore, with truth like a belt around your waist, righteousness like armor on your chest, take the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit [Ephesians 6:14-17] and know that God has given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” [Luke 10:19]. He has given you everything you need to experience victory. The only question is: will you use what he has given you, or will you walk into battle unprepared and exposed to the enemy’s attacks?

I pray that as a result of today’s message you will be encouraged to prepare for spiritual battle every day. And I pray that you will take advantage of these tools God has given you to fight the enemy and win the victory. Gear Up!

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death”. [Revelation 12:11]

While people are saying, “Peace and safety”, destruction will come suddenly… [1 Thessalonians 5:3]. Do not be deceived. Sudden, unexpected, destruction with devastating force is on the horizon. Get in the ark NOW! For the most dangerous of all delusions is that there is plenty of time to prepare. NOT! Look around you. Are we not living in days similar to Noah? The end is near! Get Ready, Get aboard! Get into the safety of God’s ark before it’s too late!

Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square; on top of the wall she cries out, at the city gate she makes her speech: “How long will you who are simple love your simple ways?

How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?  But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand, since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke, I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you—when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you. “Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me, since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord. Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke, they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes. For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them, but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.” [Proverbs 1:20-33].

Get into the Ark, NOW!  “The end of all things is at hand” [1 Peter 4:7]

By Lou K. Coleman| WSS News Contributor

Is the Apocalypse around the Corner? Yes! Is it the Last Days? Yes! But you ask, how can you say with such certainty?

Bible prophecy:

[Isaiah 11:11-12, Ezekiel 11:17, Amos 9:14-15, Isaiah 52:9, Zechariah 8:7-8 and 12:6, Ezekiel 34:12-13, 36:24, and 39:28, Jeremiah 23:7-8, Revelation 11:8-9, Revelation 13, Matthew 24:12, 2 and Peter 3:3-2, Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8, Luke 21:11, Matthew 24:14, Mark 13:10, Revelation 13:1-7, Daniel 7:16-24, Revelation 13:1-8 & 17:1-18, Matthew 24:9, Mark 13:13, Luke 21:17, John 15:20, 2nd Timothy 3:12, 1 Timothy 4:1-2, Matthew 24:10-12, Ezekiel 38:2-6 Zechariah 12:3, Ezekiel 37:10].

Read it all and then look around you. What do you see? War and the nations gathering for more war. Economic woes, massive inflation, crime on all sides, wickedness everywhere, natural disasters, famine, all evidence that we are living in the end times, last days, and that the apocalypse is just around the corner. Lend a sense of urgency to this message, please!

Prophecy [Ezekiel 7:1-4] … An end! The end is coming on the four corners of the land.

Three specific prophecies that God gave Ezekiel regarding how the people will be punished—one-third will die by plagues or famine; one-third will fall by the sword; one-third will be scatted to every wind. He tells Ezekiel that he is about to cut off the food supply in Jerusalem and only give the people rationed water. He tells Ezekiel the people will waste away. And plagues and bloodshed were coming. Bones were going to be scattered, towns laid waste, and the high places of idolatry were going to be demolished.

Days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written. [Luke 21:20-22].

Please lend a sense of urgency to this message. For indeed, we are living in the Last Days, End-Times, and the Apocalypse is just around the Corner.

For it now appears they are ready to play the “end game” card against humanity and go for a total civilization takedown. This means disrupting the food supply chain, the power grid, telecommunications, monetary systems, and the rule of law. The goal is absolute chaos resulting in massive death on a global scale. Gird your loins because the stage is set! The prophecies of the Bible and Satan’s plans for ruling the world are ready to reach their conclusion! The awakening is accelerating, and they are hellbent on causing death, destruction, and chaos.

Certainly, you are not ignorant that evil, the workings of Satan, are all around us. For the Bible speaks of “principalities and powers” [Ephesians 6:12], forces of influence and control that operate behind the scenes, and according to the Scriptures, these entities, aligned with Satan, manipulate the world’s affairs. These entities exert significant influence over the systems of our world, shaping narratives and dictating the limits of permissible action for those beneath them in the hierarchy of power. Wake up!  I ask you, “Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear?” [Mark 8:18].

If you do not awake from your slumber and grid your loins, the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side and tear you down to the ground, you, and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” [Luke 19:41-46].

So, wake up and gird your loins for the awakening is accelerating and this time of trouble [Revelation chapters 6 and 8] is here.
