People Have Time in Our Contemporary Society

People have time for studying and reading the things from this material world, but they has no time for seeking God and reading His word, the Bible; people have time for material pleasers and satisfactions, but have no time for spiritual things; people have time for talking with their beloved ones and friends, but have no time for talking to God our Creator; people have time for going in vacation, but have no time for going to the church; people have time for buying and selling and making lot of money, but they have no time for praying, seeking God, and sponsoring Christians missions, and doing something for God; people have time for so passing – ephemeral and invaluable things, but they have no time for no passing- non ephemeral and valuable word of God; people have time for seeking the sense – the meaning in live, but they have no time for seeking God, the Creator of the Heaven an earth; people have time for laughing, but they have no time for praying and crying to God etc.
People have time whenever they want and desire to have time for themselves, but when others need them, they have no time.
People are celebrating their birthdays, anniversaries, inaugurations, meetings, nationals feasts, traditions, weddings, victories in sports in our contemporary society.
People are seeking for help to the people that can't and are unable to help them in our contemporary society. People are seeking for help to men, not to God, the only one able to really help them.

A lot of people in our contemporary society are very religious persons, very pious individuals, very bigots people.
There are a lot of people rich, and there are a lot of people poor in our contemporary society.
In the rich and developed countries there are an society category, an oligarchy, which possess big wealth, vast material possessing.
People are talking about peace, about being positive and kind in our contemporary society. They are just talking, but into their lives and hearts reign wickedness, aggressive feelings, violence intentions.
In England and in many others so calling Christian countries, the sentiment anti God, anti Christ, anti Bible, anti the Word of God, against Evangelical Christian, is growing up. People without God, don't want God and detest and hate God and his Word.
People are looking for meaning in life in our contemporary society.

There are not only bad things, negatives events, tragedies, disasters, natural catastrophes in our contemporary society.
People from around the world come to Jesus, accept Him as personal Saviour. To God be the glory for that.
The Bible tells us about our contemporary society of what kind of events, things, phenomenon, characteristics that took places and are going to take places.
In the middle of these all, God remain God; God is the same, God is still on the throne: God has His men who are doing His will and are faithful.
God does not changes. God never changes. God governs the whole world and the entire universe.
Knowledge Shall Be Increased
Daniel 12:4 KJV But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
In Hebrew the word for knowledge is Da'at or Daas (דעת) meaning to know.
In Aramaic the word for knowledge is "Fw9ydyd".
The knowledge in our contemporary society is so increased and so developed. The religion knowledge, the philosophical knowledge, the biological knowledge, the geographical knowledge etc are so increased and so developed in our contemporary society.
Science in general is so increased, so developed, so powerful, so spectacular, so fascinated in our contemporary society.
There are a lot of persons (writers, philosophers, politicians, scientifics etc.) in our contemporary society which have, which possess greatest knowledge, vast culture and wisdom.

Those who are fearing God receive from Him knowledge, the true knowledge, genuine knowledge, divine knowledge.

Signs of the End of the Age
Matthew 24
1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
In verse 2, Jesus told his disciples about the temple detraction.
In A.D. 70, the Romans under Titus completely destroyed Jerusalem and the temple buildings. Stones were even pried apart to collect the gold leaf that melted from the roof when the temple was set on fire.
Whatever Jesus had said is true, is an Absolute True.
When God had said something, it took place. When God says something, it certainly will take place.
The word of God is true. What the Bible says is true, authentic, genuine. The prophesies from the Bible are true.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Verses 4 and 5 Jesus has warned the disciples that many shall come in His name, saying, I am Christ.
Today, there are a lot of deceivers that are pretending that they are the men of God.
A lot of orthodox priests pretend to be men of God. Many catholic priests are saying that they are the men of God, but if we are looking and analyzing their deeds and acts, we are seeing that they are liars, thief, robbers, deceivers, false an pseudo men of God.
Maitreya, the "world teacher", is expected to initiate his 'Day of Revealing' anytime now, and is reported to have been making a number of special appearances in third world countries.
David Koresh, former leader of the Branch Davidian cult in Waco, Texas, believed he was the Lamb of Revelation 5 because he received revelations from God in how to interpret the seven seals needed to be broken in order to open the scroll. 75 people died in the inferno that ensued during the attempted takeover of the compound by the FBI and ATF on April 19, 1993.
Marshall Applewhite convinced his 21 followers (the Heaven's Gate cult) that they were all extra-terrestrials who came to Earth on an expedition to disseminate their beliefs, and that if they committed suicide together they'd be able to leave their earthly 'shell' bodies and catch a ride away from Earth on the spaceship that was following Hale Bopp comet on March 23, 1997, etc.
Men, mortal men. Men possessed by Satan. Their objective are their own glory, money, fame, and to dominate the masses.
There are more others monsters, thieves, swindlers, robbers, liars, imposters, hypocrites, wolfs, killers, murderers in our contemporary society which are seeking only their interest, only their profit, only their fame and glory.

Jesus spoke about the end that is not yet coming.
We are living in the pre millennium period.
We don't know exactly when the end will take place, but according to the Bible and by reading the prophecies, we are living in the time. The Bible tells us the signs, the characteristics, the events that are going to take places into the end time. We Christians are waiting for the great event called ,, The Rapture'' when we, the Church, the universal Church (the people which are born again, those who had accepted Jesus as their personal Savior into their lives, the sum of those who love the Lord and are ready to be taken into Heaven.)
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
The Bible tells us also about the 1000 years, the millennium on earth.
Revelation 20:4 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 worshipped 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.
Our planet has an beginning and an end. Our material world has a beginning and an finality.
Jesus is coming soon, very soon, to set up the millennium, the 1000 years period.
There is an end, an eschatology, for this form of life.

14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
14:5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:

19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
What the Bible says is true, absolute true.

Uzbekistan
– Recent prayer of Salavat, a formerly imprisoned pastor from Uzbekistan
When Salavat was in prison for his faith, his family had no food. Some of the local Christians were afraid they would be arrested if they helped his family. Others didn't know what had happened. The international community was unaware of his arrest at first, and during this time, his family nearly starved.
When our founder, Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, was in prison, the guards played a recording of a young boy screaming in pain in the adjacent cell.

Dan Millar, mentioned above, estimates this date as that of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Four events happen on that day, a Thursday. The sidereal day is reset. It is also the Jewish New Year, using the Canaanite calendar that was in use within ancient Israel prior to the Babylonian Captivity.

William Cooper, head of a militia group in St. John's AZ, predicted that on this date the secret chambers of the Pyramid at Giza will be opened. Its secrets will be revealed and Satan will become a public figure. The American militia will engage in a massive war at this time. This, and the previous prediction, are the only two that we have been able to find which agree on the same day. Of course, it is an obvious date to select, because most people believe that the next millennium begins then. It doesn't; it starts one year later on 2001-JAN-1.
The House of Yahweh, Abilene™ predicts that an end-of-world scenario will start during 1998-OCT. By mid-2001, they predict that 80% of the world's population will have been killed as a result of nuclear warfare.
Edgar Casey predicted that the earth would have a new pole during the winter of 1997-1998. Since the earth spins like a gyroscope, this would take an enormous amount of energy to achieve. That amount of energy would cause a massive disruption to the oceans and the earth's crust. That could, in turn, cause very serious, worldwide tidal waves, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Russian scientist Vladimir Sobolyovhas of the Rerikh Academy has analyzed prophesies made by Russian saints, by Nostradamus etc. (6) He announced his conclusions in1997-SEP: that the earth's axis will suddenly tilt about 30 degrees sometime during the next two years. This will submerge the Scandinavian countries and Britain under water, in what is termed theArmageddon Flood. Siberia will be spared. He expects that aliens will intervene and lead the world into the fourth dimension. Right now, these aliens are on earth, but in hiding. Sobolyovhas said: 'If we completely believed in them, we would get lazy. So they are clever. They stay hidden in the fourth dimension and only show themselves from time to time.'
1960: Piazzi Smyth, a past astronomer royal of Scotland, wrote a book circa 1860 titled "Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid." It was responsible for spreading the belief in pyramidology throughout the world. This is the belief that secrets are hidden in the dimensions of the great pyramids. He concluded from his research that the millennium would start before the end of 1960.
1970's: The late Moses David (formerly David Berg) was the founder of the Christian religious group, The Children of God. He predicted that a comet would hit the earth, probably in the mid 1970's and destroy all life in the United States.
1984 to 1999: In 1983, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, Guru of the Rajneesh movement predicted massive destruction on earth, including natural disasters and man-made catastrophes. Floods larger than any since Noah, extreme earthquakes, very destructive volcano eruptions, nuclear wars etc. will be experienced. Tokyo, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Bombay will all disappear.
1986: Moses David of The Children of God faith group predicted that the Battle of Armageddon would take place in 1986. Russia would defeat Israel and the United States. A worldwide Communist dictatorship would be established. In 1993, Christ would return to earth.
Early 1990's: In 1992, David Koresh of the Branch Davidian group in Waco Texas changed the name of their commune from Mt. Carmel to Ranch Apocalypse, because of his belief that the final all-encompassing battle of Armageddon mentioned in the Bible would start at the Branch Davidian compound. They had calculated that the end would occur in 1995. After a 51-day standoff, on 1993-APR-10, 76 members died as a result of a deliberately set fire. The list is going on. There are many others false prophets . Their objective and purpose is money, fame, celebrity and human glory.
Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Today, in our contemporary society, iniquities, injustice, are everywhere, all around the world.
Man without God, the source of justice – true justice- genuine justice, commits iniquity, immorality, sins.
Man needs God to be able to do good, to be able to be positive, to be just, to be righteous, to be vertical, to be moral, to have positive thinking ( noem ), to desire and to aspire to be peace maker.
The enemy, Satan, Lucifer, the devil, is everywhere in this world and in space. He does only evil, bad things, negative deeds, horrible acts. He is evil, negative. His nature is evil and negative. He is the source of aggressive attitudes, he is the source of violence, wars, conflicts, genocide, murders, divorces, rebellions etc.
Ephesians 6:10-13
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
We Christians fight, struggle with the invisible negative powers, malefic forces, demons, which are in high places, which are in cosmos, which are in this universe; and we also struggle with rulers, with the kings, with the leaders, with the authorities of this sinful, immoral, perverse, wicked, negative, aggressive, violent and dark world.
Many Christians, who has started their walk, journey with God, with Jesus, became cold; their love for the Lord became wax cold.
In Revelation Chapter 2:1-4 we find out the passage where the church of Ephesus has left its first love.
2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Many had started well with God, but the daily problems, the temptations of this world, the material pleasers, the material comfort, the riches of this material world, the philosophies of this age, the prince of this dark world, the seductions of this contemporary society, the idols of this ephemeral world has attracted them from loving God, from doing God's wonderful will.
In the churches, many Christians has left their first love.
I was born in a Christian Pentecostal family in Rumania. We were an blessed family in a small village called "Somesu Rece". I and my brothers and sisters were raised in the church, listening to the word God, and reading it. When I was approximate 14-15 of age my parents had divorced and we had stopped to attend the church. My parents begun to lose their love for the Lord. I and some of my sisters and brothers had stopped to attend the church.
Many Christians in the western countries has left their first love because of the liberalism that invaded a lot of churches, because of the materialism that has penetrated many churches and their lives, because of their misunderstanding of the word of God, because of their lack of Christian knowledge and the Bible, because they love the world and its seductions than the Lord our God.
Man starts with love and ends without it.
Men today love, tomorrow they hate.
People today have love, tomorrow they lose it.
A lot of people have Eros love, but they have not Agape Love, the love of God.
Wherever Jesus is and lives, there is love, Divine Love and it lasts forever more.
When we truly pray, God who loves us gives us His infinite love and it remains in us all the time, everywhere.
Couples are suffering and failing because they has left their first love.
Marriages are destroyed because they has left their first love.
Children are rebellious, aggressive, violent, disobedient with their parents because they has left their first love for their parents.
Some people began in love, but they end in hatred, loveless, resentments, dead spiritual life.
With God we start in Divine Love and we end in Victorious Love.
If Jesus truly lives in our lives, we will never lose our first love, - the love that He gave us, True Love, Divine Love, Agape Love, God's Unfailing Love.
How about you, my friend. Do you have love? Do you possess love, True Love, God's Divine Love, or you are loveless, or maybe you have lost your first love.
Love, True Love, Genuine Love, it's a gift from God to us, to everyone who believes in God, to all people who accept Jesus as their personal Saviour.
God's Divine Love never loses its Divine essence and nature.
Agape Love is unfailing and it lasts forever.
A true Christian, an authentic child of God, who has Jesus in his life, who has and possesses God's Divine Love, he never loses it, his love remains an living love.
Materialistic Christians love material things- material comfort ( houses, cars, good food, luxury, money, material pleasures, the world, things from this so passing and ephemeral world) than God.
Jesus loves us and He wants us to love Him and to keep His Infinite Love pure, living, genuine, authentic in our souls, in our lives.
It is great to have Jesus into our lives, His living Love, his Divine love,
A true love loves no matter what, all the time, anywhere, unconditionally, its object of love; it never changes or loses its essence, its character, its substance, its nature, its quiddite.
There are so many divorces in our contemporary society, especially in the western countries.
An woman and a man meet together; they fall in love each other, they marry and have some happier years, but they soon are going to divorce. The pretext is; we are no longer in love each other.
People divorce because they lose the first love. They divorce because their love is Eros( sensual love, physical love, the love of the material pleasers) not the Agape Love, the Love of God.
Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Many Christians in our contemporary society has left the first love. Others got cold spiritually because of the temptations, seductions, attractions of this corrupt, sinful, perverse world. But the Christians that endure till the end, shall be saved.
Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
To be able to endure till the end, we as Christians need the power, need Jesus, need the Holy Spirit, the superpower from God to strengthen us, to empower us, to fortify us, to give us victory till the end; till the end of our lives, till the Rapture, till Jesus will come to take us home.
Without God, without Jesus, we will be not able to endure, to carry the cross, to suffer, to overcome the world, to defeat the enemy- Satan.
By our forces, by our powers, by our capacities, by our abilities, by our competences, by our talents, by our skills, by our formations, by our knowledge, by our studies we will never be able to endure and to carry on the cross till the end.
God exists, God is real; God is with those who believe in Him, with those who trust Him, with those who love Him, with those who have faith in Him, with His children.
God never leaves His children as long as they are doing His Will, as long as they pray to Him, as long as they persevere in praying and in doing His Will, as long as they are crying to Him for help; for Divine help, for Divine intervention, for Divine miracles, for deliverance, for forgiveness, for protection, for power, for victory.
Jesus is our Saviour; Jesus is the Saviour of the world.
Without Jesus we will fail, but with Him we will overcome.
Matthew 28:20 I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Only Jesus can and is able to give us victory and to save us from hell.
It is too hard to be an true Christian, an authentic Christian in our contemporary society.
In the western countries, in the rich and developed countries, temptations seductions, attractions are everywhere; Material comfort wants to evade our lives. Sexual temptations are on the streets, on internet, at the TV, into the books, in the movies etc.
Material dissatisfactions consume the time, the energies of many peoples.
The daily problems, situations, circumstances, difficulties, trials are a reality in our lives and sometimes too hard to face them.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
God is with His children. Jesus is with us every moment of our lives. He gives us the power, the strength, the energies that we need to face the problems, to overcome to world.
Jesus is more powerful than Satan. Jesus had defeated the devil. Satan is limited and unable to harm us. He does just only that God allows him to do.
Jesus is with us and with Him we are victorious; with Him we defeat the devil, with him we are conquerors, with Him we will prevail in whatever we are doing, with Him we have success and victory in life, with Him we fight and we win the combat.
With Him and through Him we shall endure till the end,
People fail, but with Jesus we never fail or give up.
Only Jesus can help us to endures till the end, and only Him can save us from hell, from the eternity without God.
Sometimes life is easier, but sometimes it is too hard.
There are situations, circumstances, events which depend on us, but there are situations, circumstances, events, laws, phenomenon, movements caused, made, controlled by Him, by God, who knows everything, who is Omniscient, who can do everything, who is Omni potent, who is still on the thrown, who lives forever.
We don't know everything. We don't know the future, what is going on tomorrow, in the future. But God remains God; He never changes, He is the same; yesterday, today and forever.
God wants our best. God wants us to be saved. He has sent His only begotten Son in our world to die for us, to save us.
John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
John 3:16-21
3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
The Gospel of the Kingdom Shall be Preached in All the World
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
It is an supreme duty for us as Christians, as children of God, to preach the Gospel, to spread out the Good News in our contemporary society, to our friends, to our neighbours, on the streets, everywhere; by using our time, our means, our abilities, our gifts, our competences, our charisma, our properties, our money, our finances; using the technology, the extraordinary modern means.
There are people in our contemporary society that do not know God ,our Creator and Maker, Jesus, our Saviour, personally.
Internet is an extraordinary mean to spread out the Gospel all around the world. In the countries where the missionaries can't penetrate, we can use the internet to spread out the Gospel, the Good News, the Word of God.
There are in our contemporary society, in many countries, people that have not yet heard about Jesus.
There are people that doesn't have or possess the word of God, the Gospel.
In a lot of Muslim countries is forbidden to have, to possess the Bible and to read it.
With God all things are possible.
Wherever man can't or fails, God can and He never fails.
True Christians, genuine Christians, are doing their best to serve the Lord, to spread out the word of God, the Good News, the Gospel everywhere where they can, where God called them to be and to spread out the Gospel.
Reinhard Bonnke was called by God to be an evangelist in Africa. God has used and is using him extraordinarily, and through him millions and millions of peoples came to Jesus Christ.
God in His Divine Grace wants that all people be saved.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
It's our duty, as Christian, to spread out the Gospel, the Good News, everywhere, all around the world.
God uses us to spread the Gospel. People need God, people need the Gospel, people need the Good News to come to Jesus and to be saved.
The abomination of desolation
Matthew 24:15-22
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
The primary reference in Daniel was to 168 B.C., when Antiochus Epiphanes erected a pagan altar to Zeus on the sacred altar in the temple of Jerusalem.
According to some, there were still two more stages in the progressive fulfilment of the predictions in Daniel and Mathew; 1 the Roman destruction of the temple in A.D. 70 and 2 the setting up of an image of the antichrist in Jerusalem.
2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
Revelation 13:14-15
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Daniel 9:25-27 and Chapter 11:31
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Politicians, journalists, people, newspapers, mass media, are speaking in our contemporary society about the globalisation phenomenon, an world government.
Politicians want more power, want more authority, want more prerogatives, want more legitimacy to govern to world.
The world economy is in crisis, Europe economy is in crisis, USA economy is in crisis. There are political crisis in many countries. European Union doesn't works very well as federal system, as multi national structure.
Our contemporary society, people, politicians, the leaders of this world, secrets societies, secrets organizations; New age movement, Illuminati, the Franc Macons, the Bilderberg, the Club of Rome, are looking for someone, want an world govern, an leader to govern the world.
We live the apocalyptic times. The technology exists end is in place for an world govern, for a world leader, for global system, for an international authority, for an planetary structure, for an dictatorship, for an one world govern, for an one world economy, for an one world religion, for an one world policy, for an utopia.
Some theologians are saying that the antichrist will come from Europe. It is possible that he will appear from Europe. They are mentioning Europe, the reconstitution, the rebuilding of the European Union as the Old Roman Empire.
New Age Movement is waiting for Maitreya ( In Buddhism is the future Buddha of this world.)
Muslims are waiting for Mahdi (the redeemer of Islam.)
Hindu people are waiting for Krishna to come to establish the order in the universe and on earth.
Religious people are waiting for an supernatural being to come from heaven from the metaphysical dimension and sphere, from another world to come to help them, to come to deliver them, to bring peace on earth, to establish the order on earth and in universe.
When antichrist will come, when he will manifest himself on earth, he will claim that he is Maitreya, Mahdi, Krishna.
The world, people, nations, will accept him because they do not know who he really is; because they do not read the word of God to find out who he is.
He will be an impostor, an demagogue, a good orator, an great politician, an perverse, an immoral, an hypocrite and machiavellic.
He will establish his empire and he is going to govern to world for about seven years. After seven years he will be destroy by Jesus, the King of kings, the Lord of lords.
2 Thessalonians 2:7-10
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
People, the world, our contemporary society, seek for help, for success, for prosperity, for healing, for deliverance, for victory, for peace, to men, to man, to human beings, to so passing beings, to so ephemeral men, to limited people, to unable persons, to politicians, not to God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the One true God; not to Jesus, the Saviour, the only one able to help them; the only on able to deliver them, to heal them, to forgive them, to save them from hell, to give them eternal life.
When antichrist will come, he will say that he is able to bring peace on earth; he will claim to be an genius, super competent, an technocrat, an peaceful and peace maker man, an just man, an honest man, but in reality he is going to be a messenger of Satan on earth; His purpose and supreme objective is to control the world, to dominate people, masses. His political program and strategy is going to be; one world govern, one world political system, one world currency, one world economical system, one world religion, one world army.
Antichrist's objective will be; human glory, global control, world wide influence. He will deceive many people, masses, nations, the world. He will deceive the world, but not the Church of Christ, but not the true and the genuine Christians.
Antichrist's empire, antichrist's system will be destroyed by Jesus Christ, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the Son of God, the Saviour of the world.
The church of Jesus Christ overcomes the world.
The church of Jesus Christ will defeat the world system, the antichrist's empire, because Jesus was, is, and will be with the Church.
1 John 4:4 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.
Revelation 7:9-10
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
Revelation 19:11-16
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
God is good. Satan is evil.
God is the source of the good. God is the Creator of all things; the heaven, the earth, the universe, the galaxies, the peace, the harmony, the beauty, the sublime. Satan is the creator, the source of evil, of negative deeds, violence, aggression, wars, genocides.
Satan soon, very soon will be judged, will be doomed. Antichrist with his satanic politic and system will be judged.
God is in control of all things. God governs the world, the universe. Satan and antichrist are so limited in negative and malefic power, so limited and so passing in time.
Evil has an end, and it will be no more soon.
Jesus is with His church, and the church will be victorious.
Jesus will come soon to take us home in Heaven to be with him forever.
Jesus is infinite more powerful than Satan.
God is more powerful than Satan.
Good is more powerful than evil.
Good is infinite superior to evil.
God is good and His goodness last forever.
Satan is evil; his character and nature is evil and negative.
Evil man, antichrist, has a beginning and a end here on earth, here on this form of life, here on this dimension of life.
Men born and men die, men come and men pass away, empires come and go, kings came and now are gone , leaders come and go, presidents come and go, governs come and go, systems come and go, dictatorships come and go, writers come and go, poets come and go, politicians come and go, violent men come and go, philosophers come and go, philosophies come and go, antichrist will come and he will pass away, but God remain forever; God never changes.
The Bible is true. God's word is true. What the word of God says is true and will take place.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Men without God desire things that has nothing to do with God. They want objects, things that are satisfying and that are feeding their sinful lives and nature.
Romans 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Man wants to build up and to realize great projects, but without God, the Creator of all things, he fails.
Men without God, the atheists, desire to create an world, an system, an life style, an system of thinking, an conscience without God, without our Creator, but they are condemned to fail; their plans are utopias and are an fiasco.
Nero wanted to create an world dominated by the Romans, but he failed; he and his empire are gone, are no more.
Napoleon wanted to build up an world dominated by the French people, but his ambitions, his huge effort failed. Napoleon is dead; his empire is gone, are no more.
Hitler wanted to create an world, an society, dominated by the Arians, dominated by their race, without God, the Maker and the Supporter of all things- material and immaterial, but Hitler's plans has failed ; Hitler is dead, his empire is gone, his empire doesn't exists any more.
Lenin and Stalin wanted to create an world, an society, an empire, without God, without the Bible, without the Judeo Christian values, but they failed; Lenin and Stalin are dead; their system, their philosophy, their empire are gone, are no more.
Antichrist will desire to create an world, an new society, an new age, an new world order, but he is going to fail. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the King of kings, the Lord of lords will destroy him when He will come to take us, His church home.

Antichrist will cheat men, people, politicians, nations, masses, the world, but not God, the Living God, the One True God.
Antichrist will come and he will go soon.
Our world, our earth, our material world, our planet, to universe, the cosmos, the stars, the galaxies, the visible things-objects, biological life, vegetal life, the organic matter are so passing, are ephemeral, are instable, are mortal.
2 Peter 3:10-12
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Men's plans are not God's plans. Atheist's plans are not God's plans.
Man, man without God, things that he is able to realizes great things, huge plans, vast structures, extraordinary objectives. In realty, man without God fails , does only bad things, does negative acts.
Atheists are saying, there is no God, God doesn't exists, God is for the weak.
Psalm 53:1-3
53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
53:2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
53:3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Violence, Aggression, Immorality, Perversion Are All Around the World
If we watch TV, the news. If we read the newspapers, violence, aggression, immorality, perversion, are all around the world.
In the democratic countries, in the country where I live, France, people are saying; it's a free country, it's freedom, we are free people.
If we analyze objectively the reality, we realize that there is no a true democracy; the individuals are not really free.
Let's take for example an ordinary politician, an senator, an congressman. He was elected by the electors the represents their desires, their will to represent themselves. The mission of the senator, congressman, according to the constitution, according to the legislation in matter, his supreme duty is to respect his electors, by representing their interest, their will, their plea.
Objectively speaking, in reality, the political class, the senate, the congress, the state, the authorities, the president of the country do not represent one hundred percent people, the electors, the majority, the general will of the people.
Man, individual, politician, serves first his own interest, his egocentrism.
Antichrist will serve his own interest, his egocentrism; Apparently he is going to introduce himself as an peaceful man, as peacemaker, as a good man, as abnegator, as a apt negotiator, as honest man, but in reality he is going to desire only human power, human glory, influence, domination, hegemony, fame, popularity, acclamations, honour, ovations, acclamations, prominence, leadership, human authority, narcissism and veneration.
Thessalonians 2:1-12
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
I have a suggestion for you, my dear reader; don't trust man; don't trust the demagogical politician, don't trust the antichrist that will come soon.
Trust God who loves you so much and wants your best, your happiness, your salvation.
Trust man, you will fail.
Trust God, you will be happy, you will be successful in life, you will be saved.
Proverbs 16:3-5
3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
Proverbs 3:5-10
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
People don't know and are ignorant that one day the antichrist will come.
People don't read the word of God to find out the true about the world, about the mankind, about the antichrist and his plan.
In our contemporary and postmodern society, people are looking for truth, but they are looking in wrong direction, but they are looking to people, but they are looking to politicians, but they are looking to the leaders of the passing and ephemeral world.
A lot of people don't want God in their lives, in their hearts, because they have a wrong conception of God, or because they love their lifestyle, their sinful lives, the material pleasers and satisfactions of this material world.
People without God, people witch do not believe in God, people that don't read the word of God, will accept the antichrist very easy.
Antichrist will be an demagogue, who is going to promises great things; peace, prosperity to people, who is going to seduce people, the masses, many countries, the people without God.
Europe is in crisis; political crisis, spiritual crisis, moral crisis, economical crisis. Greek is in an extreme economical crisis. Spain is in an economical crisis. Maybe soon Italy, Portugal and others countries from the European Community will be affected, contaminated by the economical, financial, monetary crisis.
Maybe soon the antichrist will appear, will manifest himself to the world. He will claim to be able to help people, to solve the general crisis.
Evil man, negative human being, has the desire to do only evil, negative deeds acts, because his nature and inside state is evil, negative.
Evil for evil create, generate only evil.
Evil man find pleaser, satisfaction in evil, by doing evil, in doing negative deeds.
Whenever the evil, the negative lives and dwells into somebody life, in the house of someone, there is aggression, there is violence, there is no peace, there is only desire to do evil, there is stress and anxiety, there is fear and phobia, there is dispute, there is dissentions, there is no hope, there is no love to do good.
Evil comes from Satan. His nature and character is evil and negative. Satan can't do good, positive things, deeds, because he, himself is evil, negative. His great pleaser and supreme satisfaction is to do, to perform evil, absolute evil; wars, disasters, distractions, violence, hatred, negativity, immorality, perversion, chaos, anarchy, divorce, separations, divisions, murders and genocide.
Isaiah 14:12-20
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
Evil man does only evil. Negative being does only negative things, deeds. An violent person does and performs only violence and aggression. An immoral individual has an immoral life; has immoral behaviors, has immoral vocabulary and lexical, has immoral expressions, has immoral manifestations, has immoral deeds.
Antichrist will appear as an good man, as a positive individual, as a moral and vertical personality, as a peaceful being, as an humanist, as politician who serves the people, who serves the general interest. In reality, antichrist is going to be an evil man, an negative individual, an immoral being, an perverse person, an demagogue politician, an liar, an possessed man who wants and desires only his interest, only influence, political power, human glory, acclamations, ovations, prominence, venerations, fame, human authority, domination, leadership, popularity, celebrity, financier power, hegemony, global control, one world political system- his policy and one world government controlled by him.
Lie comes into the world and the world receives, accepts it.
The Truth came into the world and the world rejected it.
Antichrist will come into the world and the world will receive, will accept him.
Immorality manifests itself into the world and the world opens the door to it, because the world like it.
Satan is the prince of this world; Satan is the prince of this world, but he is limited and he does just only what God allows him to do.
John 16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
A lot of, numerous leaders, presidents, politicians, writers, singers, poets, does not believe in God, are atheists, in our contemporary society . Some of the ordinary people from our contemporary society are saying; There is too much evil, hatred, violence, aggression, immorality, selfishness, egotism, individualism, in our contemporary society.
That's so true. Who is responsible for that? Who? The leaders of this world are atheists and they don't want God into their lives, into their speeches, into theirs plans, into their projects, into their political programs, into their governments.
There is no good- true good, no positivity- genuine positivity, no morality- absolute morality, without God.
John 1:1-18
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Into the life where God is, lives; there is peace, there is harmony, there is an balance, there is life, there is hope, there is victory, there are blessings, there is success, there is positive thinking, there is morality, there is honesty, there is salvation.
Proverbs 16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
A Lot of People Are Slaves to Sin
A lot of people in our contemporary society are the slaves of sin, the slaves of evil, the slaves of wickedness, the slaves of Satan. They do not know, they are not conscience that in their lives sin lives, that Satan dwells their lives.
There is no neutrality, there is no independence, there is no, 'I am free and I am doing what I want'.
There are two powers, two forces which are in the world, which are dominated the men, mankind; God who is good, who created all things; the heaven, the earth, the immaterial and material world, and Satan, who is evil, negative, who is able to do only evil, negative things.
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
People don't like to talk about sin, about transgressions in our contemporary society.
Sin is sin and it destroys; it is negative, it kills, it comes from Satan.
Sin is dressed in many forms, in a varieties of appearances;
Smoking is a sin, lie is a sin, drinking alcohol is a sin, pornography is sin, lesbianism is sin, homosexuality is sin, murdering is sin.
People love material pleasers, physical satisfactions, vices, sex, smoking, drinking, watching pornography.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Sin is everywhere, sin lives in the lives of a lot of people.
An life with sin, an sinful life has no peace, has no rest in heart, has no inner comfort, has no victorious future.
Some people love the sin, love sinful life, love the material pleasers.
People love pleasers, sin, because they don't have God, because they don't want Jesus into their lives to deliver them.
People love material and ephemeral pleasers, sin, because the sin lives in their lives, because they are dominated, lead by sin, by the power of the sinful nature.
We are so limited human beings and we don't understand all things, all events, all circumstances, all situations, all phenomenon, all ideas, all concepts, all mysteries, all natural laws. But God exists; God is still on the throne. He is in control of everything.
Jesus is the same; Jesus is everywhere, Jesus is omnipresent. Jesus heals, Jesus forgives sins, Jesus forgives people who come Him, Jesus delivers, Jesus changes and revolutionizes lives- human being, sinners.
If you are a child of God don't worry about anything
If you are an child of God, if Jesus lives in your life and He is the Lord of your life, than don't worry about anything.
God is with you, so don't worry.
Don't worry about tomorrow, don't worry about Satan, don't worry about the antichrist and his diabolic plan to control and to govern the world; don't worry about the evildoers men, don't worry about your enemies, don't worry about the aggressive and violent men, don't worry of the economic crisis, don't worry about the future, don't worry about the bad news, don't worry about the illnesses, don't worry about the tragedies, don't worry about disasters, don't worry about the immorality which is in our contemporary society, don't worry because God, the Creator of heaven and earth is with you, to help you, to protect you, to save you.
God is with his children in the middle of the storm.
God is in control of all things, of everything, of each event, situation, circumstances that come into the lives of His children.
God is a Awesome God. God is a Loving God.
God is all powerful, omnipotent God.
God can do everything. Doesn't exist impossibility with God. All things are possible to those who believe.
With men there are things impossible to do, to make, to perform, to solve, to transform, to change, to revolutionize.
God is so good, do you know that?
God is Love, Infinite Love, Genuine Love, do you know that?
If you are a child of God, walk by faith, do His will, pray, praise Him, worship Him, love Him, wait for him, put your whole trust in Him, ask Him to bless you.
Don't worry about tomorrow, don't be disturbed about the bad news, about the negatives events, about the problems and the troubles, about the enemies, about the economic crisis, about the aggressions and the violence that you are going through and that are in our contemporary society, because God Almighty, El Shaddai, the Creator of heaven an earth, Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God is with you, to help you, to protect you, to secure you, to empower you, to counsel you, to deliver you and to save you.
Psalm 91
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
Are you walking with God, in our contemporary society? Is Jesus your personal Saviour, your best friend, your Master, the Lord of your life?
The pleasers of this passing, ephemeral world are not able to satisfy you, are not able to feed your soul, your spirituality, your spiritual entity and dimension.
Only Jesus can satisfy you, can really feed you, can truly make you happy and save you.
With God all things are possible.
With men, with human beings so limited, and so unable, not all things are possible.
God is an living God; an immortal God, an eternal God, an powerful God, an omnipotent God, a loving God, a merciful God, a faithful God.
God is with His children, all the time- to help them, to protect them, to save them.
I don't know all things, but I know God knows all things, everything; God is omniscient.
I don't know the future and what is going to happen, what kind of events will take place, but I put my trust in God, in my Redeemer who knows and controls all things; the future, the phenomenon, the mysteries, the secrets, men plans, the politicians's intentions, strategies to govern the world.
I don't know when and where the antichrist will come, will manifests his presence in the world, but I do believe, I know, according to the Bible, in the future he is going to appear on the international scene.
God exists, God controls all things, God controls the world.
If God lives in your life, if Jesus is the Master of your life, than you don't want to worry about the future, about the antichrist, about the unknown future, about the mysteries, about the bad news, about the climate change, about the planet erosion and degradation, about the enemies, about the aggressive and violent men, about the secret organizations, about the theorists, about the nuclear bombs, about the mass distraction weapons.
Isaiah 41:10-13
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
There is much hypocrisy in our contemporary society
Hypocrisy is in the families, hypocrisy is in the streets, hypocrisy at the TV, hypocrisy in the movies, hypocrisy even in the churches.
A lot of people are hypocrite because they don't like, because they don't love how they are, who they are, the reality of their existence, their human condition, social statute, intelligence coefficient, their nous( intellect), what people think of them.
Some people suffer of the inferior complex. They suffer because they feel themselves inferior because of their origins, because of their intellect, because of their culture, because of their jobs, because of their conditions. So, they are trying to give another impression of them self. They try to become hypocrites, with an double life style, demagogues, practicing snobbism.
The politicians, into the electoral company, to gain votes, sympathizers, electors, are promising that they are the best, that they are able, that they have the political program and strategy, that they are competent to solve the nation problems, the social conflicts, the people claims.
Maybe they are, but not as they claim, but not as they pretend to be.
The hypocrisy, the lies, demagogy, snobbism are their weapons of combat, strategy and warfare.
Some people are so sad, so unhappy, so stressed, so depressed, but they don't show it, but they don't want to manifest it, but they don't allow it to emanates outside.
By practicing hypocrisy, they live an double life, an false and an pseudo behaviour and attitude into their daily activities; at their jobs, on the streets, in society.
They are trying, they are fighting to change things, to revolutionize their inside state and reality, but they can't; they fail.
Maybe you are in this situation. Maybe you identify yourself with this reality that characterizes a lot of , many people, individuals, lives.
Maybe you are hypocrite; in your apparent form, in your morphology, you try to manifest satisfaction, gladness, happiness, but in reality, in your inner state, in your conscience, you are sad, unhappy, stressful, without hope, without purpose in life, spiritually dead.
Hypocrisy works with men, not with God, who knows everything; He is omniscient.
You can be hypocrite with men, with your friends, in society, but you can't be hypocrite with God, who created all things; the heaven, the earth, the universe, and who knows everything.
God knows all things. God is omniscient.
God knows you more than yourself; He knows who you are, where you are, your situation, your sadness, your unhappiness, your stress, your problems.
Come to God, come to Jesus; He loves you, He knows you, He understands you.
Jesus is everywhere. Jesus is omnipresent.
Psalm 139:1-12
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
Come to Jesus, right now, wherever you are. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins; ask Him to come into your life, to change you, to deliver you, to revolutionize your life, to give you peace, to give you His Divine Love, to give you happiness, to save you and to give you eternal life.
Jesus said;
Matthew 11:29-30
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
There is no peace without God
People in our contemporary society have no peace in their hearts; are so worried, are so stressful.
Does not exist peace, true peace, genuine peace, without God, in our contemporary society.
I live in Lyon, France; Lyon is an cosmopolite and multiethnic city. Numerous visitors from around the country and from many foreign countries are coming each year here.
I've got the occasion to see, to observe people attitudes, behaviours, manners, appearances, their manifestations, their degrees of civilisation, and their characteristics.
If we analyze objectively the phenomenon, their characteristics, we ascertain that there is two elements, two characteristic forms that characterize themselves.
One element, characteristic is; what we see, the appearance, the visible form, the outside morphology.
The second one is; the inner one, the truth, the reality into their souls, the immaterial dimension, the spirituality, the conscience, the reality itself.
An category of people live and exist into their appearances, into their visible form, into their hypocrisy, into their public dimension which is false, which is an pseudo entity, an lie, the untruth, not the objective reality.
In their appearances, in their public dimension, they are manifesting themselves like the ones who are happier , without stress, without problems, full of peace, successful, able to face tomorrow, so intelligent, so competent and victorious.
But in reality, in their hearts, in their conscience, in their immaterial entity, in their spirituality, they are unhappy, without peace, stressful, dwelled by dissatisfaction, without hope, powerless, worried, full of anxiety, fear lives in their lives.
People have no peace in their heart, because they have not Jesus as their personal Saviour in their lives.
Peace, true peace, is where Jesus lives as Lord and Master.
Politicians are talking about peace, but into their hearts there is no peace.
There is one peace, one true peace, and it comes from heaven, from God, the Creator of heaven and earth.
Men's peace is false. There is no peace without God.
It is great to be blessed with peace, with peace from God.
Into the life where Jesus lives, there is peace, there is heavenly peace, there is no stress, there is no anxiety.
In the middle t of the storm, a child of God has peace because God is with him, because God is there, because he is in God's mighty Hand, because God is bigger than the storm, because God controls everything, because God is above and superior to the storm, because the storm, the natural laws obey to God who made and created them, because God loves him and protects him.
The peace which comes from God is the true peace, the genuine peace, and it lasts forever.
The peace made and created by man, by human power and ability, by the authorities, is limited, is so passing, is so ephemeral, is so relative, is unstable.
But God's divine peace, but the peace that comes from heaven, from God, is amazing, is sublime, is marvellous, is extraordinary, is restful and it lasts forever.
Man can't live without peace.
Human being can't works, can't functions, without peace, without inside comfort, without rest in heart, without harmony within his spiritual dimension.
You can't live if you are all the time stressful, full of fear, possessed by anxiety, dominated by hatred and resentments, being guilty, being unhappy, depressed, without hope, without purpose in life, sad, powerless, without energies, without love.
God had created us, man, mankind, to live, to work, to function with Him in us, with Him in our hearts, with Him in our daily lives.
Psalm 119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. Peace, true peace, genuine peace, is into the hearts, into the lives which love the God's laws, God's word.
The Bible has the answers to all of our problems, to all of our questions, to all of our situations, to all of our circumstances.
If we read the Bible, the word of God, we find out the will of God, we find out who we really are, we find out the truth, we find out the peace, God's divine peace.
If we read the word of God and apply it in our lives, in our daily lives, in our daily practices, in our daily actions, then we have peace, divine peace, and we are happy and victorious.
Wherever is peace, God's divine peace is and lives, there is inside comfort, there is harmony in life, there is balance in life.
There is no peace, true peace, divine peace, into the life without God, into the human being who lives without Jesus; the Prince of Peace.
Psalm 120:7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
A lot of people in our contemporary society are aggressive, violent; are dwelled by hatred, are bellicose.
There is an lack of peace, there is an deficit of peace in the people lives in our contemporary society.
There are situations when it's too hard, very difficult as a Christian, as a child of God, as a peacemaker, to talk about peace, to talk about the peace that comes from God, to talk about the word of God.
God is the source of the good, the source of the absolute good, the source of the positive things, the source of the true peace, the source of the abundant peace.
Without God, the so called peacemakers, work in vain.
With God man has peace in heart, and he manifests it, and he spreads it out , and he emanates it to people, to the world, to our contemporary society.
Man with God is peaceful; has peace, possesses genuine peace within his heart.
Man without God has no peace, possesses no God's divine peace.
Psalm 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Abundant peace, abundant divine peace, peace from heaven, peace from God, have you heard about it, my dear reader? Abundant divine peace is in the heart where Jesus, the Son of the living God is and lives. Abundant true and genuine peace has origin in heaven to our Creator and Maker. Abundant divine peace comes from there where there is absolute and eternal peace; from heaven, from God, our heavenly Father.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
The peace that Jesus gives us, is the true peace; the divine peace, the heavenly peace, the genuine peace, the eternal peace.
You can't find out this peace in our contemporary society. You can't find out it in our world.
Maybe you are trying to find it into religions, into philosophies, into yoga, into transcendental meditations. Maybe you have got it; maybe you had obtained it, but it is not the true peace, the divine peace.
The peace from this world, the peace realized by human effort and ability, the peace from this material world, is relative; so passing, ephemeral, false, temporal, pseudo and mortal.
God's divine peace is the True Peace, the absolute peace.
Jesus gives us his vast and infinite peace in the middle of the storm, every day, all the time.
Peace that comes from God brings comfort, harmony, tranquility and rest.
People need peace. People in our contemporary society are seeking for peace, but they can't find out it in this world, in this ephemeral material world, in this dimension of existence.
Peace, Divine peace, absolute peace, is and lives in heaven.
Peace, Divine peace, has its source to our Maker and Creator, to our Heavenly Father, to our God.
Having peace, possessing true peace, is a blessing from God.
Only God can give us peace, true peace, his Divine peace.
In an world full of violence, hatred, insecurity, immorality, perversion, lies, vices, obsessions, wars, military conflicts, only Jesus, the Son of God, can and is able to give us, to men, to human being, peace, true peace, His Divine peace.
A man of God, a child of God, a peaceful human being, does peaceful deeds, speaks peacefully, acts peacefully, works for building an lasting peace, manifests God's Divine peace from within his heart, emanates gems of peace.
Jesus Christ is the Same
In our contemporary society, in our world, in our physical and material world, there are a lot of things, a lot of phenomenon, a lot of behaviours, a lot of attitudes, a lot of laws that are changing; that are changing their characters, that are changing their particular properties.
People are changing, seasons are changing, the trees are changing, the mentalities are changing, the behaviours are changing, the visual forms are changing, the weather is changing, lives are changing, the animals are changing, the attitudes are changing.
God never changes. Jesus never changes, the word of God never changes , God's promises never change, the Holiness of God never changes , God's Divine Love never changes, God's faithfulness never changes, God's Divine Power never changes.
Things, material things, earthly things, are changing, and one day they shall pass away, they will stop to exist. But Heaven, the new Jerusalem shall last forever.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Jesus is the same. Jesus never changes; He never changes His Divine nature, His Divine character, His infinite Love, His omnipotent power, His holiness, His glory.
Are you looking for the changing things, for the changing material things from this world, my dear reader?
Things are changing, the world is changing, people are changing, systems are changing, but Jesus never changes.
Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus lives forever.
Years, lives, are changing, are passing away, are so ephemeral, but Jesus is the same and He never changes.
In a changing world, in a changing contemporary society, in a changing material world, in a changing history, in a changing dimension, Jesus is the same; Jesus is the solution to our problems, Jesus is the Doctor to our illnesses, Jesus is the helper for people, Jesus is the Redeemer for mankind, Jesus is the Saviour of the world.
Jesus is still the same. Jesus is faithful all the time. We as limited human beings are failing, but Jesus never fails, never changes. We as so passing, so ephemerals creatures, sometimes give up in life, but Jesus never gives up, never changes; He is all the time victorious. As Christians sometimes we are tested, we are tired, we are so eager, but God, our Heavenly Father, is in control of everything; He never changes, He is faithful, He is with us each step of our daily lives.
God is still on the throne; God governs the heaven end the earth, the universe. God never changes, God is unchangeable, God is all powerful, God is omnipotent, God is omniscient.
Oh, God's Divine and infinite Love never changes, never fails, never dies.
God is the one true God; God is the Creator of all things- the Creator of Heaven and earth, the Creator of the entire universe.
God is with His children, God is with us everywhere, all the time, each moment, every day of our lives, in our journey in this world.
I don't understand all things, all events, all circumstances, all situations, but I know God knows everything, I know God is in control of all things. God is omniscient, and put my trust in Him, and I'm waiting for Him; for His will, for His Divine plans and purpose.
God is with me, God is with us, with us His children, and He never let us down.
Jesus is the Way Toward Heaven
In your contemporary society, there are many ways, many lifestyles, many mentalities of life, many interpretations of life, many systems of thinking, many convictions, many books, many social systems, many political systems, many codes, many philosophies, many philosophers, many writers, many politicians, that lead people in life.
There are ways that lead people in life, from something to nothing, from life to death, from lie to another lie, from sadness to another sadness, from an utopia to another utopia, from sin to sin, from evil to evil, from stress to more stress, from suffering to more suffering, from negative passions to obsessions, from good to evil, from peace to war, from tranquillity to anxiety, from an peaceful nature to an violent nature, from positive to negative, from comfort to discomfort, from health to illness, from freedom to slavery, etc.
People have their ownways and they love them.
Some people are saying; I am free to choose on what way I have to go or to be.
There are ways in our contemporary society very attractive, very desirable, very seducing, very good in their apparent form, but in reality they are bad, negative, with an tragic end and finality.
Philosophers, famous thinkers, famous people, are presenting to people the ways, the lifestyles, the ideas, the system of thoughts, in our contemporary society.
Excessive materialism it's a way, an practice, and lifestyle, that dwells into the lives of many people in our contemporary society, but in the end it is negative, it destroys, it kills.
The love of money, the cult of money, it's an way, it's an practice, it's an lifestyle, that exploits, that possesses an large category of people in our contemporary society.
The false, the pseudo, the negative interpretation of liberty, of freedom, it's an way, it's an practice, it's an lifestyle; but it's evil, it has evil and negative effect, fruit, consequences, in our contemporary society.
Religions, the dogmas, are presenting to the people, the ways, the rules, the principles, the practices, the lifestyles, the philosophies, in our contemporary society;
Buddha had presented an way, an philosophy of life to the people, but he is no more, he had passed away; he is dead.
Mahomet had presented a way, an social system to people, but he is no more, he had passed away; he is dead.
Lenin had created an way, an social system, an ideology, an utopia, but he is no more, he had passed away; he is dead.
Hitler had wanted to create a way, an social system, an ideology, an philosophy, an empire, an utopia, but he is no more, he had passed away, he is dead.
There are a lot of ways, a lot of philosophies, a lot of social systems, a lot of ideologies, a lot o lifestyles, a lot of utopias in our contemporary society, in our world.
Jesus said;
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14;6
There is one way, one good way, one positive way, and it is Jesus, the Son of God.
Jesus Christ is the way, the only one way toward heaven, to the Father, to God.
If you walk on this way, if you know personally this way, Jesus, you will find out peace, Divine peace; you will find out happiness, the true happiness, the genuine happiness; you are on the good way toward heaven; you will be saved.
Men's ways are wrong, are bad, are negative, and they lead people to hell.
Jesus is the way toward heaven, toward God.
Are you on this way, my dear reader?
Do you know Jesus personally?
Are you saved? Have you accepted Jesus, our Saviour, our Redeemer, in your life, in your soul as your personal Saviour?
Selfishness is Negative
In our contemporary society, in our world, there are a lot of selfish, egotist people.
If we look in the rich countries, in the developed countries, there are so many, a lot of selfish, egotist persons, individuals.
Selfish, egotist persons, individuals, think, have this philosophy, that if they have, that if they possess, wealth, material goods, material things; houses, cars, money, etc, end that they think only at them self, only to their interest, then they are happy, then they can face tomorrow, then they are secured, then they are protected from the crisis.
In reality it is not true, it's wrong, it's an utopia.
People who are selfish, egotist, and who think and work hardly, to get, to obtain, to gain, honestly and dishonestly, illicitly or not, more and more money, more and more wealth, more and more material things from this so passing and so ephemeral world, from this material dimension, then they are happy and secured.
This kind of people, this category of persons, individuals, are dwelled, are lived, are exploited by the desire of having, of possessing, more and more wealth, more and more material things, money. They are dwelled and possessed by the dissatisfaction; they are dwelled and possessed by an evil force, by an negative power, that consumes and exploits them.
The desire, the aspiration, the eagerness to have, to possess, more and more money, wealth, material things, from this so passing and so ephemeral world, for only personal interest, and to neglect others, and to do not care of the neighbour, it's negative, it's too bad; it's destroys.
Selfishness is very egocentric, very subjective, very individualistic, very exclusivist.
An selfish, egotist person, individual, says, states; I and only I. Selfish people live only for themselves, live only for satisfying their own appetite, interest. Selfish people are the slaves to selfishness, are the prisoners into the prison of selfishness; they are unhappy persons, they are dissatisfied individuals, they are human beings without peace in their hearts, they are like the passing grass from the plains, they are like the ephemeral days, they are the slaves in their selfishness, they are the prisoners of their own dissatisfaction, they are like the dust carried up by the wind, to the left and to the right; they are materially rich people, but poor- dead spiritually.
Into the house where everybody is selfish, egotist, there is no understanding of others, there is no compassion for others, there is no identification with the suffering of others, there is no true desire to help others, there in no sincere love for the neighbour, there is no time for the people in need, there is no money for the poor, there is no sacrifice for the general interest, there is no true affection and there is no genuine generosity, there is no self surpassing, there is no self renouncement.
Selfishness is not good, is not positive, for the people, for human being soul. Selfishness is uncomfortable, restless, stressful, dangerous , harmful, bad, negative, unnecessary, not indispensable for mankind.
Galatians 5:19-23
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Are you an selfish, egotist person ? Are you the slave of selfishness? Are you exploited by the power, by the force of selfishness?
Jesus Christ can and is able to deliver you, to heal you, to save you, of the selfishness, of your obsessions, of your vices, of your sins.
Yes, Jesus is able and He can deliver you of your obsessions, of your vices, of your sins, if you are willing to ask Him; if you accept Him, in your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, and if you repent and ask Him to forgive you for your selfishness, for your negative ambitions, for your obsessions, for your sins, right now, where you are. Jesus is everywhere, Jesus is omnipresent.
Our contemporary society is sinful, immoral, perverted, aggressive and violent.
Jesus is coming soon, very soon, to take us, to take His children, the church, home, in Heaven with Him forever.
When Jesus will come He will punish those who had rejected Him as personal Saviour; He will also destroy the antichrist and his satanic system, empire.
Come to Jesus today, my dear reader. Today is the day of salvation.
2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Today is the day when you can meet Jesus.
Today you can be changed, forgiven and saved.
Today you can start a new beginning with God.
Today you can become a brand new human being.
Today you can experience the most amazing, sublime and extraordinary day of your life, of your story.
Today, today, today, not tomorrow, my dear friend; tomorrow maybe will be too late.
Citizen of the planet earth, come to Jesus; come to Him today.
Unhappy and poor man, come to Jesus; come to Jesus today and He will make you happy and spiritually rich.
You violent and aggressive person, come to Jesus; come to Him today and He will deliver you of your sinful state.
Oh, you Muslim person, come, come today, to Jesus, the Son of God, and accept Him as your personal Saviour, and you will be saved.
Come, come, come today, you atheist or agnostic people, to Jesus Christ, who died to save you from hell.
If you want to go to Heaven, you need Jesus; He is the only one who can help you to go there, He is the only one who can take you there.
Maybe you are an atheist. The Bible it's true! The Bible is the Word of God. The Bible tells us that God is our Maker, Our Creator. I invite you to come to Him today, and to accept His Son, Jesus, as your personal Saviour, in your life, and you will be saved.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Oh come, oh come, you, all nations, all continents, all people today, to Jesus our Saviour, to Jesus our Redeemer.
Come, come, come today, every race, every ethnic group, black and white, to Jesus, the Lamb of God.
Come, come, my dear reader, to Jesus, our Redeemer, and He will give you peace – true peace, love – His Divine Love.
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Jesus loves you; He died for you to save you from hell. Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart. Don't refuse Him, don't reject His calling, my dear reader.
Today, today, today you can be saved, if you repent of your sins and accept Jesus in your soul, in your life, as your personal Saviour.
