TOMORROW CAME

There really are no 'white lies' all lies are black.

Falsehood is of the night,

no matter whether it be merely a look or a silence that deceives,

or whether it be an uttered untruth.

Hi Mum, you still here!!!!

Sandra hurtled through the kitchen door and smiled at her mother sitting at the kitchen table enjoying a quiet cuppa before the rest of the family descended.

"Yes, of course I am Sandra" her mother replied "what have I told you about listening to the crackpot prophets on You-tube.

Matthew 24 - 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.

How many times are you going to work yourself up into a frenzy.   What did Yeshua say.   Read Matthew 24 until you know it by heart its the timetable for unfolding events.   We are now in the time of Sorrows.    

"Go and put your posh frock in the wash.   I doubt the angels will be gathering just yet.   We haven't suffered enough"

Matthew 24-31

And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

"Oh Mum" wailed Sandra "Pastor Finn says we are not going to suffer the tribulation"

"Perhaps you might suggest to Pastor Finn that we are in the tribulation right now.

Matthew 24 - 8-9

"Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all Nations for My name's sake.

90,000 christians were murdered in 2016 alone.   Does your Pastor Finn know what the word tribulation means.   Oxford English Dictionary: trouble and suffering.   Christians are already suffering tribulation and it will increase.

But the good news is:   

Matthew 24 - 22

"And unless those days were shortened no flesh would be saved, but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened."

Pastor Finn is going to have to stand before God one day along with his money making buddies and explain himself.    Some consider if they say sorry after living lives of utter indulgence they will enter heaven regardless, I wouldn't bet on it.  Coptic christians in the Middle East have been beheaded for their refusal to deny Christ surely theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.   I seriously doubt whether many christians in the West would even consider that scenario.   They have a 'Peter mindset' and will be in the queue for the chip protesting it's just for my medical records or I can't buy petrol without it, how can I run my car? - try catching a bus!! a train!! or a plane.   But then even that will be controlled so its back to the bike and peddle power.

And can you tell your whacky friend Samantha Jones that the "bride of christ" is the remnant of believers around the globe and that she is not going to float up into the clouds in her parachute of a wedding dress into the arms of her Ronan Keating look alike.

Yeshua was Jewish and according to Isaiah 53

"He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering.   Like from whom men hide their faces, He was despised and we esteemed Him not.

Of course those who have had a glimpse of His glory say He is beautiful but actually its His gaze that captivates and very few can even start to give a description of His features.   Held in His gaze the experience literally leaves the spectator in awe, breathless and speechless.   

Ms Jones is in danger of walking straight past Him into the arms of Satan who it is said is incredibly handsome and charismatic.   On the other hand he will lead her up the garden path and then DOWN when his real personality will be revealed.  TOO LATE like a fly caught in a web.   Don't say I didn't warn you and stop trying to second guess God's timing, stick to scripture.

"Okay" replied Sandra "you win and I'm really glad we didn't find ourselves left behind I don't reckon much to this world."

"One day at a time" replied her mother "we watch and we wait and help as many as we can in the days ahead. 

"Dinner's on the table there's some chips!!!! the edible kind.

We can do a great deal of the wisest, truest good among men without giving money.

A strong hand reached out to help a fallen one rise again is better than money.

Use what you have.

All God asks us to give to others is of such as we have.
