What shall we say then, the Word of God is not true?

As we see the extent to which the globalist’s will go to to implement their agenda, in the current confirmation process as well as the obvious ongoing attacks against President Trump, I come back to this post from 2014.

The skies are (even more ) red these mornings. Do we not know what that represents? Jesus, the Messiah, stood right in front of them and they knew Him not.

Matthew 16:2-3 (NASB)   ^“But He [Jesus] replied to them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’
“And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?”

Matthew 16:4 (NASB)
⁴  “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and a sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away.

So what was involved with Jonah?

1. He did not want to preach to the Ninevites even though told to do so by God. Sign: there will be a resistance in the end times by the church. “Let God sort’em out” will be a dominate attitude.
2. God will swallow up the church until those who will, will preach to all the nations a message rejected until then. Many will hear, many will not. Many will be saved, many will not be.
3. The many who hear will be a witness, a testimony to all nations then darkness will rise up world wide against anyone professing Jesus as Lord. Those who actually make Him Lord will survive eternally.

Is the church ready for The Storm that is approaching? Yes, I am saying The Storm because God prophesied it, so in essence God is the Storm and He is a sure thing.

Mankind’s whole experience has been about God receiving a family of faithful, obedient loved ones according to His Son’s likeness. The Storm will prove Whose we are. Trials, testings, obedience versus disobedience, will do that. The Son of God, God in the flesh, learned obedience by the things that He suffered. He learned how hard it can be to obey! (Hebrews 5:8 KJV)

That being the case, where do we stand, what course is the church on? What is being taught? Is obedience, a condition of salvation?

John 3:36 (NASB)
³⁶  “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

Yes obedience is required! Is it being taught in church? No in most it is not! Obedience has been miss-labeled as “works.”Obedience is about staying saved not getting saved.

So, what course are we on personally? Will we obediently endure to the end or until whenever our personal end is? How do we do that?

Without knowing our exit strategy, some will not! Jesus warned us so we might endure and then showed us the strategy, by obeying, by implementing  the Word of God Himself! His enduring intercessory love was example and His resurrection was proof to us.

Can we do anything to stop The Storm? We might as well ask, “Did Jesus have to go to the Garden of Gethsemane?” Is there any higher standard of obedience in the face of trial than what Jesus showed us?

To enter eternity successfully are we willing to surrender to God’s will? Can we see a likeness to Christ in God’s intention toward us?  Shall we sleep for a thousand years or through our faithful stand for Christ, shall we rule and reign with Him for a thousand years? What?

Revelation 20:4-5 (KJV)
⁴  And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
⁵  But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 

We know the anguish Jesus went through and Whose will He submitted to. God’s will encompassed far more than the sacrificial death of His Son for us. God’s will was for us to see the keys to the kingdom of heaven in action and grasp them with our hearts. We saw obedience  and a love that endured to glorify God tremendously. God wants us to honor His Son by our own obedience to His teachings (supplied by the Father) and example. Christ’s reward will be our reward, guaranteed!

Only by practice now will we succeed then!

“When” the Rapture is to occur is not important. God wants us ready to go now. Our exit strategy was His exit strategy.

These are instructions to be revealed in the end times according to Daniel 12. They will rescue those written in the “book” by awakening them to the means of their rescue. Some will receive it, some will not.

Many preachers say Jesus could come at any minute. The Apostasy must come first. The Abomination of Desolation must occur first. A Peace treaty with Israel for 7 years must occur first for just a few things. Be glad! This is a critical time to prepare ourselves and our hearts.

On a trip from New York to London the course is pretty direct until the ship approaches the coast of London. Entrance to the harbor requires a change of course. Salvation unto eternal life is a similar journey. We still have the same destination but to arrive safely as we approach the harbor we must turn the ship to a different heading. This is a call we can not avoid. Traditional doctrines or accepted views, once useful, must now give way to the necessary priorities that God is now pointing to. There are shoals outside the harbor. Safe entrance requires our obedience.

John 3:36 (NASB, NKJV)  “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”  

Even this scripture above has been misunderstood by translation.  What you just read is the correct translation of the Greek words and calls to everyone who has asked Jesus to be Lord, entrusting Him with our eternal lives, to therefore understand that obedience is compelled by God to make Him Lord. Jesus did not give us eternal life. He made eternal life possible.

Invite your friends around the world. I am coming to you in the spirit of Daniel 12.

You are loved,   Michael

The book (see first blog) “Exit Strategy We initiate the return of Christ” is available in e-book form. Printed versions are forthcoming.

“We initiate the Return of Christ!”

Salvation through Jesus is NOT the Good News of the kingdom Jesus was talking about in Matthew 24:12-14 NASB.

“Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.
¹³  “But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.
¹⁴  “This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

First of all, Jesus was speaking about the beginning of end times NOT about the beginning (salvation) of our lives in Him.

The “This” He is referencing is in the previous verse. Have we preached that our love must endure toward the lawless in order to be saved as Jesus said? Jesus spoke what amounts to, an as yet, unfulfilled prophesy!

What is the prophecy? According to Jesus “this” shall be preached to all nations and then the end can come.””This” is the message Jesus is speaking of.

What is that word “end” referring to? Every end must have a beginning. Is Jesus saying he can return promptly or does the “end” mean all the other events He spoke of will be triggered so that afterward Jesus will return? I believe He is declaring the latter.

Sharing Jesus as Savior with others goes without saying. Everyone Jesus was speaking of in Matthew 24: 9-14 already knows Him. “Then they will deliver you…” “You will be hated because of my name…” There is a falling away! That which saves us is what He was speaking of.

Is it reasonable that Jesus and the Father have been patiently waiting for events to come into alignment and now They wait for us? Jesus said “THEN the end shall come.”

I am not saying we instantly trigger the trumpet of God and Jesus shows up. On the contrary we, the followers, actually trigger the release of darkness upon the world. The Word says that is the “end” that must come first!

God has opened the scriptures that prove how we initiate Christ’s eventual return which must be proceeded by a season of unrestricted darkness. Why would we want to release darkness? We are already seeing darkness rising from the shadows to levels of blatant offensiveness. Our protecting ourselves, by enduring love, automatically releases darkness. As Jesus said our enduring saves us! We do not really have a choice but to prepare and discipline ourselves by Jesus’ instructions and “preach” it all over the world.

“This” is a very distressing message, “this” message, will awaken us to our exit strategy as we reach, reach, reach for the eternal saving knowledge of Jesus. KNOWING what He knew IS the “saving knowledge of Jesus.” This is why He came; it teach us.

Like Jesus in the garden, knowing the enemy would come for Him, we also will trigger the hour of darkness.

Matthew 24:13-14 is not about getting saved it is about staying saved! Many “believers” can be spared from the Apostasy by the understanding found here. Some will but not all will.

God knows many are not prepared for what is coming. God knows you are thinking, “I AM SECURE!” The author thought the same thing. Do not bet your eternal life on your current understanding.

Jesus is speaking to ALL of us! If we do not accept God’s help, it will be our fault not His. His Word will judge us.

Also find in Exit Strategy the biblical difference between reconciliation and salvation! For centuries we have confused the two. Find what John, Paul and Jesus said we must now understand and do, to maintain our reconciliation, so we reach the salvation of eternity, saved by His Way, purifying ourselves as He did, (1 Pet 1:22, 2 Col 11:2, 1 John 3:3) …no spots, no blemishes, holy, blameless!

What Exit Strategy declares is shocking, but think urgency not heresy!

Being ready to go or to stay supersedes all other scriptural positions.

Because fear might have driven us away from the faith and for some it still might, our part in the end to come has been hidden by God until now, I believe, for this very reason.

These are the keys to the kingdom. Enduring love is the heart of the kingdom. Why would He give us keys if they are not required?

Remember the reward to those who embrace these keys.

“Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever…conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time.” Daniel 12:4 (NASB)

What is the insight Daniel is speaking of?

There is an awakening we have believed would come. The change called for from the scriptures, from our traditional thinking, is so significant God says you will believe and know that this is it! He also says many will NOT!

This is the tipping point God has created. As Jesus said in Luke 4:21, the author also believes that in this book, “Today this scripture (Daniel 12) has been fulfilled  in your hearing.” Read the blog postings. Read the book.

WE ARE the Feast of Trumpets to God Himself as we signal our readiness for all that is coming. How? By embracing and preaching a very specific message.

Jesus signaled the Father by willingly going to the Garden. We will also. We know God’s patience is running out because we see events that speak of the darkness are here already and growing. As darkness blocks the light, our opportunities will cease. John 9:4b (NASB77) “… night is coming, when no man can work. “

Beloved when it comes, our fellowship in Christ’s sufferings will be eternally worth it!  God’s will being  done is all that matters. This was Christ’s salvation and reward. It is ours also!

Why has Jesus not come already?
^“ Repent therefore and return, that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; ²⁰  and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you, ²¹   whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.” Acts 3:19-21 (NASB77)

Doctrines, oral laws, denominational differences, will fall to the wayside in the light of His clarity, His grace, and the singleness of mind we are being called to.

God is simplifying salvation one last time. First came the law, then Jesus simplified the law, now God is pointing to the simplest level within what Jesus taught us and yet the most powerful and encompassing Way that will free many and save any who have the courage and inspiration to implement it.

It is His “Exit Strategy.”
