Seek God and Pray, Lift Up Righteousness and Justice, Repent of Your Sinful Ways, Do Good, Be Honest and Humble, Be Sensible and Quiet, Be Generous and Give Freely.... God may turn and save you and protect you from the terrible darkness that is coming. The scriptures below are not new. They have been around and available for our whole lifetimes. God is on His throne right now. The earth is His footstool. He knows everything that is going on. Nothing escapes his attention....even the things done in the darkness nor the deceptive things done in the light. God clearly warns that there is a way to escape the Day of the Lord. Revelation reveals the terribleness of it, and many of the Prophets of God warned of it. It is judgement for all that is happening that is wicked, unjust, unrighteous. Wickedness and violence is increasing but none of it will go unpunished. It is time to repent and turn from the neglect of God in your heart and spirit. Do you really want to go through the tribulation or do you want to escape and trust and entrust yourself to the one true God, Jesus Christ, who created you to worship Him and enjoy Him forever. He loves you!!!!! Jesus is your escape, he is your parachute, he is your serum, your life line....your very eternal life. Noah literally was mocked for building an ark that took him many many decades to build. It had never rained on the earth at that time. People ridiculed, geered, and made fun of his warnings. He was told by God to get in the ark 7 days before the rains and waters of the deep came. Those 7 days were long days of watching, waiting, wondering, testing his faith! THEN THE FLOOD CAME and destroyed everything on the earth except the 8 people and animals on the ark. Is this a fairytale?!?!?! The times we live in are unprecedented. The Abraham Accords (false peace covenant with many)? Earthquakes? Riots and Violence? Coming Meteors, Volcanoes? Evil alliances between nations? Hatred of Good? Lying and deception in politics? Manipulation and control through viruses and vaccines? The technology for the mark of the Beast? People claiming to be Jesus? The soon building of the Temple Mount? The soon Rapture of the Bride of Christ? The Age of Aquarius LOL!... let’s get real...it’s The Day of the Lord? Israel is a Nation?
Seek the Lord. A strong breeze woke me this morning at 4am. I know it was a wake up call, but I was torn. I was tired and wanted to go back to sleep for 2 more hours, but the Spirit of God was saying come spend time with me. I literally stood there for 20 minutes wrestling between my flesh and my spirit. Gethsemane was similar. The disciples were tired and sleepy and Jesus was asking them to pray and not fall into slumber. It was time for Jesus to die for us all, and he did die alone. We have an opportunity now to not fall asleep during these important days and seek the Lord. Answer the calls of God to come spend time with Him. He will meet you there personally in His faithfulness. Much love.
“Don’t you realize that I could ask my Father for thousands of angels to protect us, and he would send them instantly? But if I did, how would the Scriptures be fulfilled that describe what must happen now?” Then Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I some dangerous revolutionary, that you come with swords and clubs to arrest me? Why didn’t you arrest me in the Temple? I was there teaching every day. But this is all happening to fulfill the words of the prophets as recorded in the Scriptures.” At that point, all the disciples deserted him and fled.”
Matthew 26:53-56 NLT
“So why do you condemn another believer? Why do you look down on another believer? Remember, we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. For the Scriptures say, “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will declare allegiance to God. ’” Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God. So let’s stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall.”
Romans 14:10-13 NLT
“Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. Honesty guides good people; dishonesty destroys treacherous people. Riches won’t help on the day of judgment, but right living can save you from death. The godly are directed by honesty; the wicked fall beneath their load of sin. The godliness of good people rescues them; the ambition of treacherous people traps them. When the wicked die, their hopes die with them, for they rely on their own feeble strength. The godly are rescued from trouble, and it falls on the wicked instead. With their words, the godless destroy their friends, but knowledge will rescue the righteous. The whole city celebrates when the godly succeed; they shout for joy when the wicked die. Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper, but the talk of the wicked tears it apart. It is foolish to belittle one’s neighbor; a sensible person keeps quiet. A gossip goes around telling secrets, but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence. Without wise leadership, a nation falls; there is safety in having many advisers.
Your kindness will reward you, but your cruelty will destroy you. Evil people get rich for the moment, but the reward of the godly will last. Godly people find life; evil people find death. The Lord detests people with crooked hearts, but he delights in those with integrity. Evil people will surely be punished, but the children of the godly will go free. A beautiful woman who lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout. The godly can look forward to a reward, while the wicked can expect only judgment. Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. People curse those who hoard their grain, but they bless the one who sells in time of need. If you search for good, you will find favor; but if you search for evil, it will find you! Trust in your money and down you go! But the godly flourish like leaves in spring. Those who bring trouble on their families inherit the wind. The fool will be a servant to the wise. The seeds of good deeds become a tree of life; a wise person wins friends. If the righteous are rewarded here on earth, what will happen to wicked sinners?”
Proverbs 11:2-14, 17-31 NLT
“When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.”
Galatians 5:19-26 NLT
“Don’t plan harm against your neighbor who lives beside you trustingly. Don’t quarrel with someone for no reason, if he has done you no harm. Don’t envy a man of violence, don’t choose any of his ways; for the perverse is an abomination to ADONAI, but he shares his secret counsel with the upright. ADONAI ’s curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous. The scornful he scorns, but gives grace to the humble. The wise win honor, but fools win shame.”
Mishlei (Pro) 3:29-35 CJB
“If you are doing what is good, shouldn’t you hold your head high? And if you don’t do what is good, sin is crouching at the door — it wants you, but you can rule over it.””
B'resheet (Gen) 4:7 CJB
“Finally, all of you, be one in mind and feeling; love as brothers; and be compassionate and humble-minded, not repaying evil with evil or insult with insult, but, on the contrary, with blessing. For it is to this that you have been called, so that you may receive a blessing. For “Whoever wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit, turn from evil and do good, seek peace and chase after it. For ADONAI keeps his eyes on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers; but the face of ADONAI is against those who do evil things.” For who will hurt you if you become zealots for what is good? But even if you do suffer for being righteous, you are blessed! Moreover, don’t fear what they fear or be disturbed, but treat the Messiah as holy, as Lord in your hearts; while remaining always ready to give a reasoned answer to anyone who asks you to explain the hope you have in you — yet with humility and fear, keeping your conscience clear, so that when you are spoken against, those who abuse the good behavior flowing from your union with the Messiah may be put to shame. For if God has in fact willed that you should suffer, it is better that you suffer for doing what is good than for doing what is evil. For the Messiah himself died for sins, once and for all, a righteous person on behalf of unrighteous people, so that he might bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh but brought to life by the Spirit; and in this form he went and made a proclamation to the imprisoned spirits, to those who were disobedient long ago, in the days of Noach, when God waited patiently during the building of the ark, in which a few people — to be specific, eight — were delivered by means of water. This also prefigures what delivers us now, the water of immersion, which is not the removal of dirt from the body, but one’s pledge to keep a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah. He has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities and powers subject to him.”
1 Kefa (1 Pe) 3:8-22 CJB
““Blow the shofar in Tziyon! Sound an alarm on my holy mountain!” Let all living in the land tremble, for the Day of ADONAI is coming! It’s upon us! — a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick fog; a great and mighty horde is spreading like blackness over the mountains. There has never been anything like it, nor will there ever be again, not even after the years of many generations.
ADONAI shouts orders to his forces — his army is immense, mighty, and it does what he says. For great is the Day of ADONAI, fearsome, terrifying! Who can endure it? “Yet even now,” says ADONAI, “turn to me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping and lamenting.” Tear your heart, not your garments; and turn to ADONAI your God. For he is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in grace, and willing to change his mind about disaster. Who knows? He may turn, change his mind and leave a blessing behind him, [enough for] grain offerings and drink offerings to present to ADONAI your God. “Blow the shofar in Tziyon! Proclaim a holy fast, call for a solemn assembly.” Gather the people; consecrate the congregation; assemble the leaders; gather the children, even infants sucking at the breast; let the bridegroom leave his room and the bride the bridal chamber. Let the cohanim, who serve ADONAI, stand weeping between the vestibule and the altar. Let them say, “Spare your people, ADONAI! Don’t expose your heritage to mockery, or make them a byward among the Goyim. Why should the peoples say, ‘Where is their God?’” Then ADONAI will become jealous for his land and have pity on his people.”
Yo'el(Jol) 2:1-2, 11-18 CJB
“For here is what ADONAI says to the house of Isra’el: “If you seek me, you will survive;
If you seek ADONAI, you will survive. Otherwise, he will break out against the house of Yosef like fire, devouring Beit-El, with no one to quench the flames. You who turn justice to bitter wormwood and throw righteousness to the ground! He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who brings deathlike shadows over the morning, who darkens the day into night, who calls for the water in the sea and with it floods the earth — ADONAI is his name — he flashes destruction on the strong, so that destruction overcomes the fortress.
At times like these a prudent person stays silent, for it is an evil time. Seek good and not evil, so that you will survive. Then Adonai ELOHEI - Tzva’ot will be with you, as you say he is. Hate evil, love good, and uphold justice at the gate. Maybe Adonai ELOHEI - Tzva’ot will take pity on the survivors of Yosef.
Woe to you who want the Day of ADONAI! Why do you want it, this Day of ADONAI? It is darkness, not light; as if someone were to run from a lion, just to be met by a bear; as if he entered a house, put his hand on the wall, just to be bitten by a snake. Won’t the Day of ADONAI be darkness, not light, completely dark, with no brightness at all?
Instead, let justice well up like water, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.”
'Amos 5:4, 6-9, 13-15, 18-20, 24 CJB
““I will completely sweep away everything off the face of the land,” says ADONAI.
those who turned away from following ADONAI, and those who haven’t sought ADONAI or consulted him at all.” Keep silent before Adonai ELOHIM, for the Day of ADONAI is near. ADONAI has prepared a sacrifice; he has set apart those he invited.
The great Day of ADONAI is near, near and coming very quickly; Hear the sound of the Day of ADONAI! When it’s here, even a warrior will cry bitterly. That Day is a Day of fury, a Day of trouble and distress, a Day of waste and desolation, a Day of darkness and gloom, a Day of clouds and thick fog, a Day of the shofar and battle-cry against the fortified cities and against the high towers [on the city walls]. “I will bring such distress on people that they will grope their way like the blind, because they have sinned against ADONAI. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their bowels like dung. Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them. On the day of ADONAI ’s fury, the whole land will be destroyed in the fire of his jealousy. For he will make an end, a horrible end, of all those living in the land.””
Tz'fanyah (Zep) 1:2, 6-7, 14-18 CJB
“Gather together, gather yourselves, nation devoid of shame; before the decree takes effect, and the day comes when one passes like chaff; before ADONAI ’s fierce anger comes on you, before the day of ADONAI ’s anger comes on you. Seek ADONAI, all you humble in the land, you who exercise his justice; seek righteousness, seek humility — you might be hidden on the day of ADONAI ’s anger.”
Tz'fanyah (Zep) 2:1-3 CJB
“Woe to her who is filthy, defiled; woe to the tyrant city! She wouldn’t listen to the voice, wouldn’t receive correction; she didn’t trust in ADONAI, didn’t draw close to her God.
ADONAI, who is righteous, is there among them; he never does anything wrong. Every morning he renders his judgment, every morning, without fail; yet the wrongdoer knows no shame. “I have cut off nations, their battlements are ruined; I have made their streets ruins, no one walks in them. Their cities are destroyed, abandoned, unpeopled. I said, ‘Surely now you will fear me, you will receive correction’; so that her place will not be cut off by all the punishments I brought on her. But no, they only grew all the more eager to be corrupt in all that they do. Therefore, wait for me,” says ADONAI, “for the day when I rise to witness against you, when I decide to assemble nations, to gather kingdoms together, to pour on them my indignation, all my furious anger; for all the earth will be consumed in the fire of my passion. For then I will change the peoples, so that they will have pure lips, to call on the name of ADONAI, all of them, and serve him with one accord.
When that day comes, you will not be ashamed of everything you have done, committing wrongs against me; for then I will remove from among you those of you who take joy in arrogance; you will no longer be full of pride on my holy mountain. I will leave among you a poor and afflicted people, who will find their refuge in the name of ADONAI.” The remnant of Isra’el will not do wrong, nor will they speak lies, nor will there be found in their mouths a tongue given over to deceit; for they will be able to graze and lie down, with no one to disturb them. Sing, daughter of Tziyon! Shout, Isra’el! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Yerushalayim! ADONAI has removed the judgments against you, he has expelled your enemy; the king of Isra’el, ADONAI, is right there with you. You no longer need to fear that anything bad will happen. On that day, it will be said to Yerushalayim, “Do not fear, Tziyon! don’t let your hands droop down. ADONAI your God is right there with you, as a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you and be glad, he will be silent in his love, he will shout over you with joy.” “I will gather those of yours who grieve over the appointed feasts and bear the burden of reproach [because they cannot keep them]. When that time comes, I will deal with all those who oppress you. I will save her who is lame, gather her who was driven away, and make them whose shame spread over the earth the object of praise and renown. When that time comes, I will bring you in; when that time comes, I will gather you and make you the object of fame and praise among all the peoples of the earth — when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes,” says ADONAI.”
Tz'fanyah (Zep) 3:1-2, 5-9, 11-20 CJB
