the tide flows ever stronger towards growing apostasy you will have to cling fast to the dreams and visions and stand on the Word of God.
Only yesterday a non believer chuckled as he related yet another rapture scenario that hadn't happened.
I am amazed how many Christians consider they are to be spared suffering, yet their Saviour was literally butchered for them. They should read their bibles and remember the world is watching their witness.
Matthew 24 - 36
Yeshua said " But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.
Matthew 24 - 21 - 22
Yeshua said "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.
"And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened"
Perhaps if we consider the historical evidence freely available on the internet regarding the Reformation Forefathers, in no particular order or rank, John Wycliffe, graduate of Oxford University considered the "Morning Star of the Reformation, Rowland Taylor, William Tyndale, John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon - he of the famous quote "it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me" to mention just a few, and observe the list of those burnt at the stake by supposed followers of Christ and the "dark doings" of the Catholic church and her papacy, we should get the message that those who stood for Christ, considered holy men and women of God, have met very messy deaths at the hands of the Apostate Church. There is no excuse for ignorance.
Matthew 10 - 38 - 39
Yeshua said "and He who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
And the consolation prize
"He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.
In this once great Christian nation there are children of the remnant as undoubtedly there are around the globe. The battle is still bloody and horrific at the hands of radical Islam and few realise the implications for the western world of the so called Arab Spring heavily backed by Britain and America.
But judgement is surely coming on those whose aim is to divide His land.
Even Abraham in anguished conversation with his Maker tentatively pleaded for the people.
Genesis 18 - Verse 32
Then he (Abraham said) "Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: suppose ten should be found there? And He (God) said I will not destroy it for the sake of ten. But of course as we know in Verse 15 - Lot was told to get out quick as God was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. Fact: Sodom is not a pretty place to drive through and recent archeological discoveries include "sulpher balls" the place is barren and desolate, they surely paid the price.
Church of the prosperity preachers beware - nothing but nothing should come before God. He doesn't hand out lottery prizes, He hands out Crosses. Every idol (and I don't mean a golden calf) anything that takes the place of God in man's heart. Be it possessions, worshipping celebrities,
wealth or status and you are in a dangerous place.
SELF
Bigger, better, I want more,
ambition holds me in its claw.
Feel the strength, touch the power,
success, achievement by the hour.
Personal space filled to the brim,
things to treasure, things I'll bin,
File it, store it, hide away,
may need that another day.
Sunrise, sunset all the same,
busy working life's fast lane.
Packing, flying, chase the sun,
spend the money, have some fun.
Driving past the vacant stare,
huddled in a cardboard chair.
Despising weakness, where is pride,
not my concern their vision died.
My humble roots, his simple trade,
I fought and schemed, my future made.
My taxes keep the likes of you,
get off your back and pay your due.
Suddenly my life is still,
desires and dreams beyond my will.
Visions of my life ahead,
imprisoned in a sterile bed.
Captive now, I have no choice,
but listen to a still small voice.
A future that I could not see,
finds the soul inside of me.
Huddled in a metal chair,
sensing beauty everywhere,
this precious earth, sky and sea,
proclaim The Power that set me free.
Reaching for Your outstretched Hand,
I'll take the second chance You planned,
and try, until my life is through,
to walk the path that pleases You.

Throughout the turbulence of this dying year we have realised that Government leaders rarely listen to the voice of the people they serve, the ugly face of anarchy mingles with peaceful protestors
and the net falls on guilty and innocent alike.
Revelation 18 (3 - 4)
And I heard another voice saying "come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.
WE - THE REMNANT - ARE CALLED OUT - TO STAND APART FROM THE WAYS OF THIS WORLD.
A study note on Revelation 17 in my NJV bible regarding the fall of Babylon is a very relevant comparison.
"The fall of Babylon gives an illustration of the spiritual principle that anti Christian political and military powers inevitably destroy the economy and the nation or civilization they undergird.
Are we seeing any comparison here - does it ring any warning bells!!!!!!!!!!!!
The timbers are rotten, her sails torn, the ship is listing badly and no amount of prayer can alter
what is WRITTEN. Man's own greed has all but destroyed this precious gift of our creator God.
The population for the greater part remain anaesthetized, their brains haggled and controlled by drugs, drink, sexual perversion and the materialism of this world. They witness appalling cruelty and manipulation of innocent children too late, another decadent generation will rise to maturity, yet they cannot conceive they are being controlled and manipulated. Even the slave trade continues, albeit with a different face, but its there.
Concern and apathy mingle on the faces of the people they complain "isn't it terrible, what a wicked world" This is precisely what happens when people abandon God - He turns his face away and allows our enemies to rise.
SHALOM - SHALOM - SHALOM brothers and sisters of the Remnant. Matt. 6 - 25
Remember the words of Yeshua - Do not worry about your life.................................................................
33 - Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness......
We cannot open blind eyes and deaf ears, only the prevenient grace of God can save, and divine election remains a mystery. Why God chooses one and not another.
May we carry our cross knowing our time is short, but eternity is forever in His Kingdom to come.

Nevertheless the time of harvest approaches for us. Judgement is surely coming on Britain and America. Sadly the innocent suffer as a direct result of those in leadership who are once again intent on breaking the Balfour Declaration and dividing His land again.
We have had a clear witness this year of what happens when people peacefully protest against the government and get caught up in the mayhem that ensured. Dark forces are at work
