My Good-Bye Note to Whosoever To Those Who Were Left Behind
If you missed the "Mark", do not take the second "Mark!" If you miss the "Rapture", Here is what you can expect will happen! If world panic and confusion has occurred due to millions of people suddenly and mysteriously disappearing, this will explain what has happened.
The event referred to as the "RAPTURE" came and you were left behind! First, let’s understand more clearly what has happened. Next, we’ll see what will happen to YOU during the "Tribulation Judgment". The word "Rapture" means to be quickly removed or "caught up". It was a term used for years to identify an event promised in the bible. Jesus Christ promised to return, in the clouds, to quickly receive up to Himself all the dead and living who are "In Christ", those who accepted His Blood atonement sacrifice for their sins, and turned from their filthy works of the flesh. Here are a few scriptures about this "RAPTURE".
John 14:2,3 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
1 Cor 15:51,52) Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52) in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
1 Thes 4:16 - 18) For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18) Therefore encourage each other with these words.
Rev 3:10,11) Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth. 11) I am coming soon.
Here are some events that indicate the return of Christ getting closer.
June 1967--The Israeli "Six day war". Israel regained Jerusalem and the old temple site. This was necessary before the building of the Tribulation Temple.
Rev 11:1,2) I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, "Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshipers there. 2) But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.
The increase of demon activity, blatant rebellion, homosexuality, drugs, and deception. Such things that people fifty years ago deemed not possible.
Here are a few scriptures
1 Tim 4:1,2 The Spirit clearly says that in latter times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2) Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.
2 Tim 3:1,5) But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2) People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3) without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4) treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God– 5) having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. Another event that has been fulfilled is that the gospel has recently made it into all nations, and has been preached to every soul. Look at this promise from Jesus.
Matt 24:14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is
NOBODY KNEW WHEN THE RAPTURE WOULD COME
However, the multitudes which were taken were ready. They had repented of their sins and put their complete trust in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior! Their sudden removal has caused a large scale world wide crisis, confusion, panic, travail and riots. Also, many catastrophies too many to number such as these, millions of car crashes with no drivers, tractor trailers overturned, planes crashing, out of control buses full of passengers screaming from panic, run-away trains, kitchens on fire because many cooks vanished, telephone circuits overloaded, phone operators gone up, fire trucks have too many fires to go to and missing firemen, lots of looting by thieves taking the opportunity, rampaging lawlessness and crimes, rapes, rioting, mobs stampeding, public officials can’t get control of this situation for weeks, even months, people’s pets and elderly starving to death because their carekeepers vanished, pedestrians hit by run away vehicles, false teachers murdered for misleading their converts, mass confusion of radio and tv media, stench from the dead, and from trash building up. This is just some of what could take place, there will be much more. If you missed it! If So, It Is Too Late Now To Prepare For The Rapture!
YOU HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND! WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW?
According to the Bible, some "world leader" will rise up and appear to be the "Saviour" of the remaining people. He may give some rational explanation for the missing multitudes and restore some degree of world peace. He may be an instrument in establishing a covenant between Israel and the Arab nations and allow Israel to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. There things will officially begin the seven year "Tribulation Judgment".
Dan 9:27He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven. In the middle of the ‘seven he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. [One week = 7 years]
This "world leader" will eventually sit in that Temple and claim to be God. It will not be demonstrated until the middle of the seven years (42 months) that he is the "ANTICHRIST".
Dan 8:23 - 25"In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a stern-faced king, a master of intrigue, will arise. 24) He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men and the holy people. 25) He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.
2 Thes 2:3,4 Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4) 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
Rev 13: 4 - 8 Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?"The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months. 6 ) He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7) He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8) All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast–all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.
This seven year "Tribulation" will be "HORRIBLE"! Jesus himself WARNED that it would be greater than any past or future world judgment.
Matt 24:21,22 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now–and never to be equaled again. 22) If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
Here are some predicted judgments coming upon the whole world: The Seal Judgments:
-----Peace taken, global war, great weapons
Rev 6:4 Then another horse came out , a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.
-----Famine, a day’s food for a day’s wages
Rev 6:5,6 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6) Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" -----¼ world population die, war, hunger
Rev 6:8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
-----Christians slain for their faith
Rev 6:9,11 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10) They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" 11) Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.
-----Earthquakes, sun darkened, stars fall
Rev 6:12,13 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13) and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.
-----Mountains and island get moved
Rev 6:14 The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. -----Panic and Terror
Rev 6:15 - 17 Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16) They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17) For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?"
The Trumpet Judgments
-----Hail and fire falls, mingled with blood
Rev 8:7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
-----1/3 in sea destroyed, fish, ships, and crews
Rev 8:8,9 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, 9) a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
-----Many died from bitter poison waters
Rev 8:10,11 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water waters 11) the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
-----Sun smitten, affecting light, temperatures
Rev 8:12The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.
-----Demonic creatures torture unsaved people
Rev 9:1 - 11 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. 2) When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. 3) And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. 4) They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5) They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6) During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them. 7) The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. 8) Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions teeth. 9) They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. 10) They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. 11) They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.
-----Another 1/3 world’s population dies
Rev 9: 13 - 18 The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns of the golden altar that is before God. 14) It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." 15) And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. 16) The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. I heard their number. 17) The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur. 18) A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.
The Bowl Judgments
-----Malignant Sores Plague All The Unsaved
Rev 16:2 The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly and painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his image.
-----Sea becomes blood, all in seas die
Rev 16:3 The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living thing in the sea died.
-----Only blood to drink from rivers, springs
Rev 16:4,5 The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. 5) Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say:
"You are just in these judgments you who are and who were, the Holy One,because you have so judge
-----Men scorched with fire and great heat
Rev 16:8,9 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire. 9) They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.
-----Men gnaw their tongues due to pain and sores
Rev 16:10,11 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. Men gnawed their tongues in agony 11) and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done.
-----Preparation for "The Battle of Armageddon"
Rev 16:12 - 16 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. 13) Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14) They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty. 15) "Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed." 16) Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
-----Greatest Earthquake Since Earth Began
Rev 16:18 Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. -----Cities throughout the world crumble
Rev 16:19) The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.
-----Every island and mountain disappears
Rev 16:20) Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found.
-----Huge hailstones, about 100 lbs each
Rev 16:21 From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.
-----The Return of Christ in glory
Rev 19:11 - 16 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12) His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13) He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14) The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15) Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16) On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
-----Conclusion - The Battle of Armageddon
Rev:19:17 - 19 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18) so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great."
19) Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army.
-----Destruction of AntiChrist "World Leader"
Rev 19:20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
-----Destruction-Followers of The Antichrist
Rev 19:21 The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU WHEN YOU MISS THE RAPTURE?
You may refuse to believe this explanation of the "Rapture," and warning about the "Tribulation." In fact, you may PREFER to believe the explanation given by this new "World Leader." He and his staff WILL DECEIVE many who are left on the earth after the rapture. He will even demand your worship by the threat of KILLING you.
Rev 13:11 - 15 Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 12) He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13) And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. 14) Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15) He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.
If you find it EASY to believe him, it may be because you neglected or willfully refused to trust Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, prior to the Rapture.
II Thes 2:8 - 12 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. 9) The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10) and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11) For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12) and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickednes
Luke 16:13 "No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."
It may be very hard not to serve this new "world leader" if you chose to serve sin rather than Christ, if you have ever denied His call. According to II Thes 2:11, you will be compelled to worship the Wicked one by taking his mark.
Rev 14: 9 - 11 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, 10) he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11) And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name.
However, IF YOU ARE CONCERNED about your salvation, there IS still HOPE! Perhaps you did not hear or understand the gospel before the Rapture and God is trying to "DRAW you to Himself at this very moment. If so, here is some GOOD NEWS:
John 3:16 For God so loved the world (YOU), that he gave his one and only Son (CHRIST), that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
God loves You! God’s wrath demonstrates the intense depth of the OUTRAGE and INSULT of your sins against the absolute holiness and perfection of the ALMIGHTY GOD. We Deserve Judgement! And Most Severe!
But God sent His one and only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who knew no sin, to die as a Just Ranson for all sins, Only if we are willing to accept His AMNESTY and QUIT offending the God who made us for His own glory. God offers everlasting rewards that no language can ever explain! Just one drop of This Precious Blood of the Lamb that was slain can and will REDEEM you from the grip of the devil, and his destruction, and everlasting horror that words can’t explain. Everlasting Hell is not God’s intention for you, Hell and the Lake of Fire was made for Satan and all the fallen angels. Unfortunately, there is no middle place between heaven and hell.
If you are concerned, God is drawing you by His Holy Spirit and He desires to save you!
John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him
John 6:37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
II Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
Acts 16:30,31 He then brought them out and asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" 31 ) They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved–you and your household."
If the RAPTURE Came and you missed it, there is still hope. According to the next few scriptures there will be another Rapture for those who refused to take the Mark of the beast, although many will be martyrs who were tortured, slain and or beheaded in the great hour of temptation for the Name of Christ, they came to put their total trust in the cleansing blood of the lamb.
Here are two scripture references about the second Rapture:
Rev 6:11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.
Rev 7:13,14 Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes–who are they, and where did they come from?" 14) I answered, "Sir, you know."
And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
-----The beheading of Saints
Rev 20:4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
The "Hour of Temptation" in the KJV is also called the "hour of trial" in the NIV bible. What this is, is that they will try to get you to deny and blaspheme Jesus and take the mark of the beast, and worship it. Up to this point in time, the saints will be worn down, especially where they can’t buy or sell without the "mark," many will most likely starve to death.
Rev 2:10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Going without food for a season will be a short time compared to the size of eternity, and a better end than those who worship the beast and spend forever in the lake of fire where the torment is beyond your wildest nightmare!
Mat 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Rev 2:11b He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.
The 144,000 Jewish Tribulation Christians will be protected and sealed from the Tribulation Judgments. God will provide for them carrying them into the mountains. It is possible that these will be the evangelists during this time.
Rev 7:4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
God’s promise is trusting, He helps us. God is good
1Cor 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
Heb 13:5,6 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." 6) So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.What can man do to me?"
I Pet 1:3 - 9 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4) and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade–kept in heaven for you, 5 ) who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6) In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7) These have come so that your faith–of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire–may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8) Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9) for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Rev 21:4 - 11 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away 5) He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." 6) He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.7) He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 8) But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars–their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." 9) One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." 10) And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11) It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
Matt 22:14b for many care called, but few are chosen.
Luke 21:36Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.
Don’t Neglect or Deny
Rom 1:20 - 27 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. 21) For 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. 22) Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23) and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. 24) Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25) They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator–who is forever praised. Amen. 26) Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27) In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversio
II Thes 2:10-12 and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11) For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12) and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
2Pet 1:9,10 But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. 10) Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall.
Rom 9:33 As it is written: "See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall,and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
John 15:6,7 If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7) If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.
It is one minute before midnight, and all looks well to the billions leaning unto their own feeble understandings. But at the strike of midnight , the hearts (spirits) of many will fail because they did not redeem the season God granted them. They said, these things can’t be idols, they are so common to us. We all had our bibles tucked away just in case the prompting ever came. Ten virgins there were but five were left, O my God, why? Why? Where did they ever go wrong? For god sake, let’s redeem the moment that is at hand! He is very close! .
