2024

If you are a Christian reading this post, you should recognize out of the 6,000 years since the creation of Adam, God has chosen your soul to live at such a time as this. He has placed you at the end of the age of grace for a reason. What will you do with the time He has given you?

As we race towards the end of 2023, one can only begin to imagine what 2024 shall bring for the U.S. and the world. All western governments have turned against its citizens. Perhaps as a presidential election year, it will be the most challenging year yet. We saw what happened in 2020 and the enemy certainly will not back down for this election. Had Hillary gotten in for the 2016 election, the enemy would have been on a fast-track to bring in their plans for the fall of this country. For unlike Biden, Hillary can think for herself. But thankfully God intervened and the one everybody was laughing at, got elected.

Let us not forget that the final judgment is the judgment of God, not of man. God will roll it out on His timeline and no others. Many people seem to confuse that fact today which in turn leads to false assumptions of the Tribulational period. It is the “Lamb” that opens the 7-sealed book which also contains within the 7-trumpets, the 7-vials, and the 7-thunders completing the judgements up to Armageddon – the ultimate judgement.  

And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; Rev. 5:1-9

Israel is posed to slaughter the Red Heifer during Passover of 2024 and use the ashes to cleanse the way for a new temple. What shaking will that cause? Most likely, continued wars for them. We have seen firsthand the division around the world for and against the nation of Israel since the beginning of the Hamas war. It will only get worse eventually leading to, “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem” Zech. 12:2. Let us not forget that Israel is God’s prophetic time clock. The events of that nation alone provide the most telling position the world is in on His time clock.  

Will God intervene again in 2024’s election? Let us pray that He does. It will certainly help to have the right candidate in office, but regardless of who gets in, Jesus and Jesus alone is the only answer. How will you respond to what happens this coming year. What decisions as a Christian will you make to stand, deny, or accept what may come? How will you witness to those around you?

God is the only one that can break the devil’s yoke over this country. But it is only through our prayers and pleas, “….The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” James 5:16. We would also be wise to harken the wisdom of this verse, “A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof” Proverbs 21:22. Let us believe, “It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law” Psa. 119:126

Revival has been happening across the country and around the world. Let us pray God will turn it into a steamroller Awakening! Christmas sure does feel different this year. Sara Reeves sings it best in her song here.

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Titus 2:13

The Justice of God

 (A Psalm of David) I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.

Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

13 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

16 The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

19 Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

20 Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah. Psalm 9

The Land of Milk and Honey

Dr. Emir Caner was a guest speaker recently at First Baptist Atlanta. If you want to really know why the continued chaos in Israel, specifically for Jerusalem and including some very revealing insight into the religion of Islam, I highly recommend watching the sermon below. Emir was a former Muslim that accepted the call into the saving blood of Jesus. This is part one of a two-part series. Listen carefully when he mentions Damascus and if you are a student of bible prophecy, “The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.”, Isaiah 17 will suddenly make more sense. As I had mentioned in a recent post, we are witnessing the beginning stages of the fall of Islam.

 

The Land of Milk and Honey: Israel, Islam, and The Promises of God

The King James Bible

First published in 2016, I am adding what I feel to be absolute proof the King James version is the only infallible Word of God. This remarkable young man I have inserted below, has multiple videos outlining mathematically impossible odds of patterns that can only be found in the King James bible. If we are told to rightly divide the Word of Truth ( 2Ti 2:15), then it can only be done via the KJV. 

Satan has infiltrated and corrupted everything including the Word of God except the KJV. Look at our educational system, financial system, governmental system, religious system, and yes our medical system. All of these have 2 things in common: money and power. The list goes on and on. The thief has three goals: The  thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10. Would satan not want to “destroy” the word of God? Would that not be a priority?

How is it we can believe God raised the dead, parted the Red Sea, raptured Elijah, gave Samson the strength to kill 1,000 men with the jawbone of a donkey, but not believe He can keep His Word intact…

If you are not a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, then this is your proof the bible is divinely inspired by Jesus that brings eternal life to all whom believe. The videos my seem a little winded, but I encourage you to take the time to watch them. 


King James Bible – the Authorized Version

If God’s Word is infallible, then which version is it? No other version of bible protrays the amount of wisdom, understanding, enlightenment, and defense of false doctrine as the King James version. Multiple versions of the English bible exist, but only the King James is unpatented.

Volumes of works have been written to prove the validity of the King James over the other versions. The bible says the words of God are pure words purified as silver tried in a furnace. The separating and purifying of precious metals from other metals is called refining. The word “tried” in Hebrew, means “to be refined, to be tested”. The bible says we received the word of God, not by men but as it is in truth.

The words of the LORD are pure wordsas silver tried in a furnace of earthpurified seven times. Psa 12:6

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of menbut as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. 1Th 2:13

If there are multiple translations of the bible into more “modern” words as translated by men, then how can the words be pure and as it is in truth?

The following is just but one example of how the other translations fall short of the KJV, but is powerful enough to give the reader pause for concern and show the KJV is the Authorized Version.

John tells us to try the spirits and that every one that denies that Christ came in the flesh belongs to the spirit of the antichrist.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 1 John 4:1-6

As a believer, we know that Christ(God) did come in the flesh and dwell among men. The key verse to understanding this and the spirit of the antichrist is as follows:

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 1Jo 5:7

Here is what the other versions say in comparison. In sync with the spirit of the antichrist, they deny that Christ came in the flesh with the exception of the NKJV, but its’ legitimacy should also be taken with a grain of salt.

1 John 5:7 KJV NIV NLT ESV HCSB NASB RSV ASV NET
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghostand these three are one. For there are three that testify: So we have these three witnesses For there are three that testify: For there are three that testify For there are three that testify And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify

Where the word of a king isthere is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? Ecc 8:4

The Pit

Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him. Pro. 26:26-27

Confidence

We need confidence now more than ever. Godly confidence.

(A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psa.27


Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Heb.10
