The world has gone too far. Once again they have scoffed away the warnings and this time, it will not be forty days and nights of rain that floods the earth. This time, it will be a storm of war, the likes of which the world has never seen... The Church has gone too far. The Church for the most part offers the world a diluted Gospel and men-pleasing compromises that resist the authority of the Holy Spirit, abandon the holiness of the Almighty, undermine the commandments and shrug off God’s absolute sovereignty over all our todays and all our tomorrows. I tremble to think what He is going to do – or to allow our enemies to do. Many of His judgments will be no surprise. The tribulation judgments, already written, cannot be changed. But the things that are coming to our world before the antichrist appears, and before the predetermined judgments begin, are already in place. Still, the world and the Church sleep and play...play and sleep...totally besot of tomorrow...even of today... There is only one country that God will, with His own power and His might, protect and save from its enemies and that country is Israel. When the next wave of invaders set their eyes on the children of the Covenant Land, God Himself will compensate them with double measure, falling back upon their own heads, all they have intended for Israel. These are not my words my friends, these promises are found in the Holy Scriptures. America, even England, once had that kind of protection and deliverance. But America messed up – for fifty-five years our presidents have intimidated Israel (our friend Israel) with hateful threats if they do not do as they are told to do by Washington. To add salt to these open wounds, and for the sake of oil, America has appeased Israel’s enemies at the painful expense of Israeli lives and Israeli land. America will have to answer for her betrayals of Israel. Have you never wondered why we have not won a war since World War Two? It is because we have used Israel as a political pawn, dangling him like a worm on a fish hook before his enemies. We professed one thing and did another. We sacked our sacred honor for black gold and settled for a pseudo-peace between Israel and his enemies. Take a good look at Israel – I mean a concentrated look – and see how he is totally surrounded, North, East, South and West by enemies. Israel is encircled with hate and constant danger and we have insisted they live with it and like it… The fishing trip is over. God has wearied of these seasons of betrayal and humiliation imposed upon His people. We have cursed the children of Abraham too many times and still our leaders insist the leaders of Israel give up their land. The Covenant keeper will protect His own - even against America if it has to be – and the Church will not escape. The pacifying guilt that lies at the doorstep of the Church is too great, and God will not continue His long-suffering for the Church while He condemns and punishes the world at large. For some time now the Church has been sifted and purged to a degree, a warning that God will no longer tolerate their perversions and compromises of His Holy Word. Has the warning been heeded? Not on your life! In fact, the situation has grown worse… There is very little reverence today. Look around you in the sanctuary – people are socializing with each other instead of entering into the Tabernacle of His Presence. They come in their jeans, collecting their doughnut and coffee in the vestibule and carry them into the sanctuary with them. The sanctuary thus becomes a theatre, and the saints become dimmed lights… Idolatry in the Church is contagious. Greed is at an all time high. Scandal is a headline, the spirit of Jezebel thrives and fields of plenty for feeding the sheep are, in many areas, virtually non-existent. The pastors of these fields are starving the sheep they have vowed to feed. First they must sow the truth and seeds of faith into the field if nourishment is going to come forth for the sheep. It means they may have to cut through the thorns and the briars to plow the field and sow the seeds but if they will only sow truth, and a little faith, the harvest will come and come and come… But lo, the seasons have passed and the fields are still overgrown with briars and thorns – no one has come to plow, and no one has come to sow. It seems the shepherds are on holiday and the sheep make do with what they have. They do not know they are afflicted, blind, some crippled and some lame. It is very sad. They have no balm to heal themselves and no one to buy it for them. They do not know – they have not been told that they can pray to the Father and He will give to them generously, especially to those that are poor and broken in Spirit … Oh, you shepherds of the flocks, what are you doing? Don’t you see the muddy fields? Don’t you see the empty troughs? Don’t you see - "Add to this your tolerance of the vile strangers that pollute my sanctuaries," saith the Lord. "Add to this your blatant compromises with the daughters of the Great Whore of Babylon. These are they that drink abominations to your demise, saith the Lord, teaching the simple and the gullible there are many paths to me. I say to you, saith the Lord, they that drink of their cup shall never know my Redemption nor shall they see my Glory. I will crush - I will crush...” Would to God there would be fields all over this world filled with fire and brimstone preachers, reaching out to save the lost and the back-slider, the deceived and the oppressed, the proud and the arrogant, to feed and to nourish, to rebuke, correct and to love with the pure love of God. Would to God they would all follow the narrow way, leading the saints with singing. Would to God they would be clinging to Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life, as they march into the Kingdom of the Father…
