Laura Lee “The President of Serbia has warned that the planet is entering into a “great world conflict” that could take place within the next two months.” by Paul Joseph Watson September 21st 2022, 4:52 am INFOWARS https://www.infowars.com/posts/serbian-president-warns-of-great-world-conflict-within-two-months/ James Steinle’s thoughts in regard to the article at Infowars: “You idiot!” someone might say, “Why did you put in the subject line, “I am so excited.”? “Are you crazy!?” I say, well hopefully not. Here is why. When we see all these indications, like in the article above, that the world is in turmoil and mass extinction is a great possibility, then here is what a believer is to do: [both the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman army which ended in 70AD, and the end of mankind trying to rule and govern themselves is being discussed by the Savior below] Luke 21:7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? 8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. 9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. 10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Luke 21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. 13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: Luke 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. 16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. 17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. Luke 21:18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 19 In your patience possess ye your souls. Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter there into. 22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Luke 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. THAT is why I am so excited! We just read what Luke recorded what our Savior said; that when we see these things begin to happen, we should look up and lift up our heads (to heaven) with the implication that we should have faith and joy and peace! He is coming back to this earth very soon to resurrect those who have died in the faith and also change those of us still living who also have faith, to become spirit beings! Our Savior, who has overcome the world, will then establish His throne in the land of Israel and will set things straight. Satan, the Adversary and his minions will be imprisoned and no longer able to influence this world. We, who have been changed to spirit like he and the Father, will be with our Elder Brother and Savior and will help him in bringing this world back to the true worship of Yehovah the Father and the commandment to truly love our neighbor as ourselves. (See also Jeremiah 31) BUT IN THE MEANTIME, WHAT SHOULD WE DO? Repent of our sinful way of life, be baptized and receive His Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38-39) (Being baptized does not include infant baptism.). If we have already done what Acts 2:38-39 says, we can certainly ask the Father to put faith into us to help us to worship Him the way He wants us to. Many of mankind’s traditions try to worship Him in ways that He actually detests and He will not accept it as it has ties to paganism (Deuteronomy 12:29-32). This includes some aspects of Christianity. Here is how He wants us to worship Him: John 4:20-24, [A Samaritan woman responding to our Savior] “Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” Notice there were Two things that we must do. To worship “in spirit” means with no hypocrisy in our intentions. i.e., not with any ulterior motive but just with the same love that our Father and Jesus (Yayshua phonetically in Hebrew) loves us; if we obey Him and love our neighbor as ourselves (the two great commandments in Matthew 22:36-40). (Matthew 7:21-23; 1 John 2:3-6; 5:1-3; Psalm 103:17-18) Loving our Creator in spirit means that by our actions, not just in our heart, we desire to show our respect, appreciation and love to our Father and to His Son. That is done by our obedience. That is how our Father and our Elder Brother know we truly love them in Spirit. A disobedient child is not showing love and respect to his or her parents. Obedience does this. To worship “in truth”, is done by examining what our Creator had recorded for us to do and not do, in what is called – somewhat inaccurately – the Old Testament (Matthew 5:17-20). Then we are to try to follow the principles of that way of living to the best we are able in this day and age. Our Savior became the reality of all the sacrifices that were done back then to cover sins or trespasses, so for the here and now, he is our High Priest, and we can go directly to our Father because he sits on the very right side of Him. We start the process of growing in (or into) perfection (Hebrews 6:1). Growing up into adulthood from a young child normally takes time. Mistakes and wrong choices do happen, but eventually we learn what is required to become a responsible adult and start living our life as would be expected of us. So, the lesson is don’t give up, but strive to overcome both our own carnality and the world that lives in carnality and tries to get us to live the same way. How can we be successful in resisting carnality? Ask for help from our Father and His Son. “You have not because you ask not.” (James 4:2) Ask for the power of His Spirit to help us. Zechariah 4:6 “Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of Yehovah [the LORD] unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith Yehovah of armies [the LORD of hosts].” We also examine what our Savior had to say in what is called the New Testament or Covenant how to do those things, not just physically, if at all possible, but with the spiritual meaning and application of those laws (which is where the original Israelites especially fell short)! All those laws come under one heading: How to love our God and how to love our neighbor. (Matthew 22:37-40). When we fall short, we now have a living High Priest, His Son, who gave up his life and now lives as our Atonement for the Sacrifice that is applied for our falling short or sinning. Upon being sorry for falling short and sinning, our Father sees our repentance. How many times will He forgive us? 70 times 7 (Matthew 18:21-22). In other words, if we truly are repentant for falling short again (and again, and again) and humbly ask for forgiveness because we truly want to do what is right, He applies his Son’s sacrifice of undeserved death, to us. We may die physically, but we can have a sure hope of being in the first resurrection when our Savior comes to take over the earth and we have been resurrected to eternal life. So again, I say THAT is why I am so excited, even though the world is going through turmoil seeing no hope, as that article above shows. But there is hope for those that believe in Yayshua or Jesus and the perfect sacrifice that he gave. That is the good news that we can share with those who have no hope. |
