Viewed by the Nations

 
I am humbled. I honestly did not ever expect my little blog to be read beyond my immediate circle. But it has been read, and in many other countries. Thank you for sharing my postings with those you love.
 
God Bless,

Have Faith & Peace

Before I get to my message, I want to let you know the posts I have up coming:

  • People to Know: Two Prophets, Anti-Christ, False Prophet
  • HE is COMING: The 2nd Return of Jesus Christ
  • 1,000 years: The Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ
And these three post, for now, will wrap up my observations from 2 years of Revelation Precept.

But today, I just want to write to you from my heart.
I am zealous in my sharing of my Revelation knowledge. And I realize, having watched the facial expressions of people I talk to, that it can be overwhelming. I get so excited to share my knowledge, that I don't temper it with breathing. Once I start, I just keep going with all the rabbit trails included.

If you are a believer, if you confess that Jesus Christ is who the Bible says He is, if you obey His commands, are a disciple of His...have peace. Do not worry. We, those who are disciples of Jesus, will not be on earth for the 7 years of the Great Tribulation. I am confident in this. But if I know my readers, and I feel I do, it is not that you fear being here for it, but those you love. This weighs heavy on my hearts. I am confident that many that are in my family are going to "left behind." I know that I am not being quiet, I have tried sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and I will continue to do so, and will continue to pray.

I do not know all the answers. Will animals be raptured? What is the "age of accountability"? How bad will it be before the "rapture"?

But I am having faith. I have to believe that God is control and will take care of the details that I worry about. I am doing all I can, as a mother, to share with my children, my family. I am doing the best I can to be a faithful steward with my resources: money, time, job, & ministry. I do not want to neglect my ministry, I hope to share more often with you. I hope you feel led to share my posts, as a way to inform others. There will be time during the 7 year tribulation for people to be saved. But I will stress, the 7 years of the tribulation are not meant for the salvation of the Gentiles, God's focus will be His people - Israel. But both will come to salvation.

Today is September 24, 2017. If you watched the news this week, you saw many posts, heard on the radio, and on the tv that many in the "church", many "believers" believed that the end of the world was happening on September 23rd.

Oye.

I say that yesterday signaled a change. If you have read Revelation, there was an astrological alignment described there that happened in our cosmos. I would recommend reading this article The World Won't End For 1,000 Years, If Ever to help make sense of all the hubbub of  September 23rd.

I have shared my thoughts on date claiming. I believe God when He says, “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only." Matthew 24:36 (ESV).

But, I do believe we can know the last generation:

And because I believe we are in the last days of the last generation I am going to share, I am going to write, I am going to pray. I believe I will see Jesus Christ soon, and it will not be because my earthly body.And if it doesn't happen today, then I will thank the LORD for another day to share is message, which is beautifully summarized in this verse:

John 3:16 (ESV) For God So Loved the World
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

After the Church Age: Seals, Trumpets & Bowls - God's WRATH on Earth

The Church Age began on the Day of Pentecost, fifty days after the Passover when Jesus died and rose again. One day the Church Age will come to an end. There will be a day when all believers in Christ are called up to be with Him in the clouds.

1 Corinthians 15:52 (ES) "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed."
1 Thessalonians 4:17 (ESV) "Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord."

Mankind does not know the day or the hour, but we will know the signs of the last generation.

Matthew 24:34 (ESV) "Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place." See my post: Signs of the Last Generation

So what then? All believers, all true believers in Christ are gone, what then?
Think on it. If the believer is:
  • driving a bus - it will crash
  • flying an airplane - more than like it will crash
  • a surgeon performing surgery - a patient could die on the table
  • is a patient on the table - some medical staff are going to be confused
It is assumed that most children up to an age of accountability will be taken at the point of "rapture" even those in the womb. Pregnant women - if not believers, will unexpectedly, in the twinkling of an eye will no longer be pregnant.
People will be missing from every region on earth, every back ground, some countries more so more than others. The abrupt departure will result in chaos and mass confusion.

Leading up to this event the earth and all creation will be in the throes of labor:

  • unprecedented hurricanes in strength, size, wind damage, financial impact
  • mass flooding across the earth - some in areas that are normally in a drought state
  • tornadoes will become larger and stronger
  • earthquakes growing stronger, causing more damage, happening more and more often
  • tensions between nations - wars, and rumors of wars
  • an increase in anti-Semitism
  • moral depravity at levels not seen before
    • shows approved for children that wouldn't have been approved for creation a generation ago
    • teen magazines promoting how to throw a party for your friend after her aborition
    • college campus's becoming a breeding ground of unrest and anti-God
All this, then in a second a mass amount of humanity will disappear. A world in chaos will be hit even harder. Hell on earth will have a new meaning. Within weeks, maybe months, a leader of peace will arise. And he will manage to create a peace treaty that will grant Israel what they have wanted for so long. To have their temple and to make sacrifices there. This man will be the White Horse of the 1st seal.
________________________________________________________________________________


Revelation 6 (ESV)

SEAL 1
1 Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.

A man of peace will arise, a man with a bow but no arrow - he has a commanding presence but doesn't have to resort to force. He will be given a crown - given power, given authority - and will rule. He will bring about "peace" for Israel.

SEAL 2
3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.

The "peace" after the chaos will not last long. The world will go to war. People will kill each other.

SEAL 3
5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!”

After the war there will be famine and inflation. Food will scare, people will starve globally. Oil and wine will not be touched.

SEAL 4
7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

Pestilence, plague, and wild beast will be given the authority to kill 1/4 of the earth.

SEAL 5
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. 10 They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.

This seal happens only in Heaven - no event on earth. Those under the altar will killed for their testimony and faith in the Word of God.

SEAL 6
12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. 14 The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. 15 Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, 16 calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”

EARTHQUAKE #1
The cosmos will be disturbed, the sun blackened (eclipse), moon to blood, stars will fall, earth will be disrupted.

Revelation 8(ESV)

SEAL 7
1 When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne, 4 and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. 5 Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

EARTHQUAKE #2
Out of the 7th Seal comes the 7 Trumpets. There will be silence in HEAVEN 30 minutes. An angel will take a censer of prayers of saints threw it to the earth.

TRUMPET 1
7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

TRUMPET 2
8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. 9 A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

TRUMPET 3
10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter.

Water will be poisoned. Rivers and streams.

TRUMPET 4
12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.

With 1/3 of the sun, moon, and stars darkened - life on earth will be impacted. Plants will not grow right, life on earth will not function properly.

3 WOE'S PROCLAIMED
13 Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!”

Revelation 9 (ESV)

TRUMPET 5
9 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. 2 He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. 3 Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone. 6 And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them. 7 In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, 8 their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth; 9 they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. 10 They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people for five months is in their tails. 11 They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.

Unbelievers will be tormented and unable to die. Creatures literally from the pit of hell will torment earth. They will want to attack believers, but will be restrained and directed torment and be a horror unto the unbelievers.

1ST WOE DONE
12 The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.

TRUMPET 6
13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. 17 And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound. 20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, 21 nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

EARTHQUAKE #3

Revelation 11 (ESV)

2ND WOE IS DONE
14 The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.

TRUMPET 7
15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.” 16 And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying,

“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
    who is and who was,
for you have taken your great power
    and begun to reign.
18 The nations raged,
    but your wrath came,
    and the time for the dead to be judged,
and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints,
    and those who fear your name,
    both small and great,
and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”
19 Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.

EARTHQUAKE #4
THE 7TH TRUMPET IS THE 3RD WOE

  • The 6 Seals & 6 Trumpets happen over 1260 days (begins with the signing of the treaty that gives Israel "peace".)
  • The 7 Bowl Judgments happen in 1260 days
  • Which total is 7 years
Revelation 16 (ESV)

16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

BOWL 1
2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful sores came upon the people who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

Loathsome and malignant sores on the body of all who have accepted the mark of the beast.

BOWL 2
3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing died that was in the sea.

The sea becomes congealed (Jello) not something that can sustain life. Those who live along the coasts of the earth will be forced to relocate - the stench of the blood, then the stench of all sea life that died in the sea.

BOWL 3
4 The third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel in charge of the waters say,

“Just are you, O Holy One, who is and who was,
    for you brought these judgments.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
    and you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”
7 And I heard the altar saying,

“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,
    true and just are your judgments!”

All water is now blood - no drinking water.

BOWL 4
8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. 9 They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.

The ozone layer will be gone. It will not be safe to be outside in the sunshine.

BOWL 5
10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish 11 and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores. They did not repent of their deeds.

The beast (Anti-Christ) and his kingdom will have no light - the darkness will be so oppressive it hurts. People will go crazy from the darkness and pain.

BOWL 6
12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. 14 For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

There will be war again. And the leader of the Armies of Heaven will return to Earth.

BOWL 7
17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.

I hope that now knowing all that is to come - that the Church Age will end, that you will not hesitate in sharing the testimony of Jesus Christ. Share with the world that they can avoid the 7 years of tribulation - judgement, torment, and the wrath of God.

Signs of the Last Generation

If you have time, I recommend you watch the entire series from Anne Graham Lotz (harbingers). It is the "Blowing the Trumpets" series. It is phenominal!

But if you do not have time for all 7 sessions, please watch session 7. Session 7

Here are my notes on it, please take heart:
Jesus is Coming - The RAPTURE

  • Matthew 24
    • Jesus is on the Mt. of Olives
    • Destruction of Jerusalem by Rome foretold (40 years later)
  • Matthew 24:3
    • 3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
      • Jesus did not dispute that there would be an end. There will be an end to human history.
Timeline of Human History
Creation                                     1st Coming                                   2nd Coming
Beginning -------------------------Mid Point -------------------------------End

Jesus tells how to tell time. How to know when it is the time of the last generation!

Signs Jesus Gave: (5 Categories)
  • Matthew 24:42 (ESV) - Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.
    • Take your news and then your Bible. Overlay the news with a Biblical World View.
  • Matthew 24:8 (ESV)  All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.
    • birth pains, minor to major, pain, intensity, frequency ramps up when it is the last generation.

SPIRITUAL CATEGORY
  • Matthew 24:5 (ESV) For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.
    • many false christ/messiah
    • false peace/prosperity
    • think politicians/leaders
      • From AGL's generation - People Claiming to be the Messiah
        • Jim Jones, David Koresh, Sun Moon (S. Korea), Marshal Applewhite (Heaven's Gate)
From the outside, we think ludicrous, but what if a false messiah can perform miracles? Call fire from heaven? WATCH  OUT! Miracles don't necessarily come from God.

Anti-Christ can do sign & wonders! Same words used to describe Jesus. Satan twists God's words and gives the world a counterfeit.
  • Matthew 24: (ESV) “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake."
    • Persecution of Christians will increase.
    • 200 million pay the ultimate price for Christ (a year)
      • be-headings in Nigeria
      • 200 Christian school girls kidnapped
      • Iraq - torture, rapings, be-headings (Tom Dole - "Killing Christians" - stories of martyrs)
      • Pakistan - suicide bombers blew up 2 churches (the day she recorded the video in March of 2015)
      • Dallas newspaper reporter under police protection for believing in traditional marriage and God's plan for sex in marriage.
  • Verse 9 was said to the disciples - JEWS!
    • This could mean an increase in antisemitism.
      • In 2015 Prime Minister of Israel extended an invitation to all Jews in Europe because of the hatred towards them (& help pay for relocation).
      • US Colleges - antisemitism growing. Many college students believe there should be a Palestinian State.
      • 54% of Jewish American college students reported being victims of antisemitism incidents (2013-2014 academic school year)
      • It's Rising! Joel Rozenberg "Jews are born with a target" AGL - "Why would you a Jew for being a Jew? SATAN. God loves them, Satan hates who God loves.
  • Matthew 24:10 (ESV) And then many will fall away[a] and betray one another and hate one another. 
    • Divisions within the church:
      • gay marriage
      • ordination of women
      • see Nashville Statement (August 2017)
      • music
      • Gospel - Jesus is the only way, truth, life
  • Matthew 24:24 (ESV) 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect."
    • False prophets will (& do) deceive many by giving messages to the people, and saying it came from God (when it didn't).
      • Harold Camping - "Rapture" May 21, 20111 -- October 21, 2011
      • Rob Bell - Michigan Mega Pastor -- Wrote book "No Hell" -- Supports Gay Marriage (Look up Matt Walsh article on 9/01/2017)
      • Paul Young - wrote "The Shack" -- insightful, BUT said no evil, no accountability, God accepts all -- could draw people from the cross
      • Pope (Francis) - Church should not dismiss gay marriage
        • Invited Christians, Jews, & Muslims to Vatican to pray
          • 1st time in history of the Vatican that Muslims were invited to pray

DIRECTION: God's Word

Grab your Bible and hold it in our hands.

God's word. It is life. It is death. The words in our Bible....they are both. We have in our hands the way to know everything we need. To live or to die. I am talking about eternity. And we need to be ready. Most Bible's today give subtitle's to the sections of scriptures.

Open your Bible, and Go to: Luke 21:25-26

What subtitle do you see? Here is the image from my Bible App: ------->

THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN

And here is the text:

25: There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.
26: People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

Now let's talk about the past 12 days, let's review:
Aug. 21- solar eclipse
Aug. 25- hurricane Harvey reaches category 4
Aug. 26- flooding begins

25: There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. (Solar eclipse -  a total eclipse at that) On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. (A tropical storm became a category 4 hurricane almost overnight) 26: People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

Friends, the heavenly bodies are about to be shaken. When the apostles heard the message of the Gospel, the end time was soon. If they were in the last hours of the age, we must be in the last minutes. If you are not sure of where you will spend eternity, lets talk. You can know.

REVELATION: Letters to the Churches

The Apostle John was given the words to write to the seven churches in Asia. The letters he penned to them contained a description of Christ, commendation, reproof, warning/instruction, and a promise to the overcomer. As with all scripture, it applies today just as much as it did in the day it was written. Let's look at the seven churches, and the lessons that can be taken from each letter to them.

Church #1 - Ephesus Revelation 2:1-7
“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands. “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. Yet this you have: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.’

Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.’

But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality. So also you have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans. Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.’

But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works, and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works. But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden. Only hold fast what you have until I come. The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father.

Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God. Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you. Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. I am coming soon.

For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

Emotions after the storm...

I have watched the news for the past eight days. I watched initially for the weather, the updates, seeing who was being evacuated. During the storm we watched to keep track of where Harvey was going. The the storm slowed, moved on and we watched to see the recovery. Yes there was a time or two when it was bad at our house. But we are fine. A small leak in the attic, part of our fence fell, and some paint started to peel on a wall to the outside that received too much moisture. And we have already filed a claim, heard that our adjuster will be here as soon as she can find an open road.

We are fine, we are blessed. But around us, our community, our friends, our family - not all of them waited out the storm with our result. We have give supplies and time to help where and when we can. But there has been a sense of guilt for being okay. I went back to work today, we opened up the school for the parents with younger children who needed to return to work or had recovery to do. And in the office, we all caught up and talked some. And we all mentioned the guilt feeling. One of the ladies mentioned reading about the very thing and share the following link:

Hurricane Harvey Survived Serve

I really recommend everyone to read this if they feel guilty for having little to no damage after Harvey. God has purpose, God has plan.

Romans 8:28 (NIV)

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
