God's judgment is coming. By all means... pass this article around! (www.heavensoon.com)
Acts 17
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Welcome to Issue number 9 of the Judgment is coming newsletter. May God bless you as you are encouraged and as you eagerly await the soon return of the Lord Jesus! The signs of impending judgment are all around us! It is a source of encouragement to the Christian as we know the Lord Jesus will very soon return!
Amos 8
11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a
famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the LORD:
In these last days before the return of the Lord Jesus, Christians are hurting. Sadly, many cannot even find a good Bible believing church to attend. Instead they are faced with liberal churches who use the perverted NIV Bible, CCM (rock music), ecumenical fads like the Alpha course, Rick Warrens evil purpose driven compromises, and alignment with the false Roman Catholic religion.
Christians must decide what to do? Do they just endure the perverted NIV Bible, CCM, or rock music and other compromises? Do they attend such a church and say - "well no place is perfect?" Or, Do they stay home and download and listen to sermons? By the way, here is a couple of links to get good sermons on the net: www.sermonaudio.com or www.sermonindex.net
These are all problems that many Christians face in these last days. I'm of the belief that if you choose to attend a liberal church then over time it will drag you down and hurt you and your family spiritually. If by chance you have found a good KVJ preaching church with no CCM rock music and stays separate from evil, consider yourself blessed. Stay with that church and support it and uphold the pastor.
WHY IS GOOD BIBLE PREACHING, BELIEVING CHURCHES BECOMING RARE?
I've been thinking about this question for a long time now. The only answer I can think of is this. It is a judgment of God upon a nation. It is evidence of God backing away from that nation and people. This happens when religious people have no heart for the Lord and do not want to walk close to Him in fellowship and obedience. Instead, these religious people want their rock music, they want their occult entertainment like (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or Narnia), and they want all the other evil compromises and heresies. These people no longer have a heart for sound Biblical doctrine. The below verses describes such a person very well:
2 Tim 4
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove,
rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall
be turned unto fables.
Because many religious people no longer have a heart for sound Biblical doctrine, the Lord backs away and lets them go their own way. This is why there are so many apostate/liberal churches with pastors and leaders who do not have a loving heart for the Lord. When this happens, it is a judgment from God! When God gives any people or nation over to their sin, it is a judgment. When God simply backs away and lets religious people go deeper into sin, error, and heresy, it is a judgment.
As you read the below, I want you to pay attention to the fact that God gave people over to their sin. This means God literally gives up striving with that person, people, or nation and this is a terrible judgment of God! Lets look at the concept of being given over to sin by God as found in the Bible:
Rom 1
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 recompence 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.
God gave them up, God gave them over. Do you see this judgment in the above verses? This is a terrible judgment from God! It is very serious when God gives a person, a people, or a nation over to their sin. As a result the Lord backs away and lets the person fall deeper into sin and error. On the one hand it is a terrible judgment when God gives a person over to sin and they develop a reprobate mind. On the other hand it is a last attempt to get through to that person. You see, some people after wallowing in the filth of sin and rebellion come to their senses and repent and turn back to the Lord. This is a good thing and the Lord is always ready to receive and restore such a person. However, the vast majority of people walking away from God do not repent. They just keep walking further down the broad road to hell. These lost people keep growing closer to the devil until the day of their eternal damnation in hell, the lake of fire.
Friends, this is why there are so many liberal/apostate churches with pastors and leaders who do not love the Lord, the Bible, or God's people. They allow and bring in all forms of heresy and evil and their congregations receive it because they have the same heart. Here is a small list of some of the popular heresies which churches and pastors who do not love the Lord support:
- Occult entertainment (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Narnia)
- CCM Rock music
- Warren's purpose driven heresies that remove sin and hell
- Psychologists with their self-esteem which attempt to redefine
the fact that man is a lost hellbound sinner
- Alpha course which removes sin and hell and makes the Lord
Jesus a good buddy instead of the Saviour of lost men
- Ecumenical movements like the promise keepers that unite with
many false religious (Romanism, Mormons etc)
- Perverted Bible versions like the NIV which is published by
Zondervan which is owned by Harper Collins who publishes the
Satanic Bible. The NIV is the worst of the Bible perversions and
Satan has made that the most popular in liberal, doctrine rejecting
churches! Stick with the tried and true King James version which is
not based on corrupted manuscripts like the others.
As a result of those who reject sound Biblical doctrine, the only people who are left hurting are God's blood bought people who seek and desire a good Bible based church to attend. This is a sign of the end of the age and the soon return of the Lord Jesus!
CONCLUSION
2 Thess 2
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;
We are in the last of the last days before the return of the Lord Jesus to rapture home His blood bought people. The Lord warned there would be a great falling away before His return. We are now living in those days as liberal doctrine rejecting churches abound.
As you look around and follow the news, many terrible and evil signs can be seen world-wide. However, one major sign is the falling away within the professing Christian church. Finding a good, solid Bible believing church is getting very hard to locate these days.
I encourage people to keep looking for a good Bible based church. However, if one cannot be found, do not attend a liberal compromising assembly. This will only hurt yourself and your family over time. You may be forced to home-church.
Keep walking close with the Lord Jesus as He is coming back very soon! Be sure to keep up with your daily Bible reading and prayer. I believe soon we will all be standing before the Lord!
Rev 22
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come
quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
The federal government Monday rolled out new electronic passports embedded with radio microchips holding personal data - starting in Colorado.
State Department officials plan to issue millions of the thicker, redesigned blue "e-passports" nationwide by year's end. They say these will speed security checks and thwart forgers who could use fake documents to hurt the United States.
Privacy advocates questioned the necessity, warning that personal data could be skimmed.
But the first travelers granted new passports - at the State Department's new Colorado Passport Agency north of Cherry Creek Reservoir - reluctantly embraced the idea.
Anything to "make our skies more safe," said Chris Hart, 34, on his way to Mexico with his bride, Alycia, for a honeymoon.
"As long as it's not in my skin," he said of his chip, "which is probably what's coming next." ...continued...All contents Copyright 2006 The Denver Post

DELRAY BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 6, 2006--VeriChip Corporation:
VeriChip Trains Nearly 400 FEMA Employees on Its VeriTrace
Emergency Management/Disaster Recovery Application
VeriChip Corporation, a subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions (NASDAQ: ADSX - News), announced today that its Implantable Division, consisting of the patient ID and personal health information system called "VeriMed", the security application called "VeriGuard", and the emergency management system called "VeriTrace" achieved important milestones. VeriMed, the first and only FDA-approved microchip for patient identification and access to medical information has advanced adoption in key areas of hospital and physician acceptance.
Since early August, 26 new healthcare facilities have agreed to adopt the VeriMed system. This brings the total to approximately 140 emergency departments, of which 36 - located in seven states and Washington, D.C. - have fully implemented the technology and will use the VeriMed reader as standard protocol to scan patients that present unconscious, delirious or confused. The Company continues to provide readers to hospitals at no charge as part of its efforts to "seed" the infrastructure for the VeriMed patient identification system.

Above in one of the articles there is an interesting quote where
the person says: "As long as it's not in my skin". This is interesting
because chips in the skin are coming and this cannot be stopped
The mark of the beast is coming. It will involve worshipping the devil in order to receive the mark. Once a person receives the mark of the beast he can never be saved. His soul is damned for all eternity. When will the mark of the beast be forced upon the world? It will happen midway during the 7 year tribulation period that will start in the world after the rapture of the church. The antichrist will defile the rebuilt temple in Jerusalem and claim to be God. He will demand worship and this is the mark of the beast. The actual mark will be some kind of computer chip implanted under the skin which allows a person to buy, sell, and do transactions in the kingdom of the antichrist. All those who refuse to worship the beast and receive the mark, will be killed.
Rev 14
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any
man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his
forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is
poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he
shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the
holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and
they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image,
and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Today there are many news stories that show the technology being prepared for the mark of the beast. The mark is coming and is in the process of being setup right now. People are already being conditioned to receive that mark when the time comes for it to be implemented. The above are just samples from two articles that talk about microchipping humans. There are many more and all this conditions people for the time of the mark of the beast.
'Biblical disasters' predicted as global warming intensifies
The Earth faces a bleak future of floods, droughts and forest fires due to the continued effects of global warming, scientists have warned.
Researchers from Bristol University's Quantifying and Understanding
the Earth System (Quest) team claim that climate change protocols
such as Kyoto may have come too late to stop widespread natural
disasters in the coming years. ...continued...

I repeat, the problem is NOT global warming... It is the impending
judgment of God upon a sinful and Christ rejecting world! Since lost
people refuse to acknowledge God, they must blame these disasters
on things like global warming. All the weather disasters are warning
signs so people can repent and turn to the only Saviour, the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Luke 21
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and
lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
MEDIA ADVISORY, Aug. 17 /Christian Newswire/ -- The abortion industry has long claimed they want to make abortion legal and safe. The Florida State Board of Health disagrees and has blown their cover. Rev. Flip Benham, Director, Operation Save America, formerly Operation Rescue.
Wednesday evening, 8/16/26, the Florida Board of Health suspended the license of James Scott Pendergraft, the largest abortion provider in the state, for performing an illegal abortion in July of 2005. The Board of health stated, "Dr. Pendergraft demonstrated a flagrant disregard for the laws of the state of Florida and a willingness to endanger the lives and health of pregnant patients by performing third-trimester abortions." The State also closed two abortion clinics in Orlando Florida operated by Pendergraft in Orlando Florida where faithful Christians, and sidewalk counselors have "shown up" to offer help to women.
In July the abortionist performed an abortion on a 7 month pregnant woman. This is forbidden by state law unless and two licensed physicians certify it is necessary to save the life of the mother. ...continued...
"They cannot hide their dirty little acts forever. This will be the
safest week for the babies of Orlando, Florida since this killer,
disguised as a doctor, moved to the state." Flip Benham

Shedding innocent blood is very evil before the Lord. This is one of
the many sins that will bring down the judgment of God upon a Christ
rejecting and evil people. I also believe when a society encourages
the shedding of innocent blood they are giving sacrifice to the
devil. Children are literally offered up as a sacrifice and the
devil is pleased. As a result only evil and judgment from God
will result from the murder of the innocent. Here are some verses
to consider about this vile practice:
2 Kings 24
4 And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled
Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.
Psalms 106
37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of
their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan:
and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring
with their own inventions.
Prov 6
16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an
abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed
innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that
be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth
discord among brethren.
John 14
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Billy Graham has been the darling of the liberal and doctrine rejecting churches for many years. We are commanded to test all things and to cling to that which is good. That means to test what Billy says and compare it to the Bible. In this way a false teacher or a wolf can easily be spotted.
1 Thess 5
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
When Billy Graham is put to the test, he falls short. This man preaches and teaches another gospel not found in the Bible. You see the Lord Jesus is the ONLY way a person can be saved and Billy Graham does not believe this.
Here is the quote where Billy is asked whether he believes heaven will be "closed to Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus or secular people," Graham replied: "Those are decisions only the Lord will make. It would be foolish for me to speculate on who will be there and who won't ... I don't want to speculate about all that. I believe the love of God is absolute. He said he gave his Son for the whole world, and I think he loves everybody regardless of what label they have" ("Pilgrim's Progress," Newsweek, Aug. 14, 2006).
This religion Billy believes in is a religion of tolerance of false teaching and a false gospel of many paths to God. The result of this false gospel is hell as the Lord Jesus is the ONLY Saviour.
Lets go a bit further into the heresy of Billy Graham. Here is a interesting question. Does Billy know if he is saved? That is a fair question to ask a popular preacher. Here is the answer: Billy Graham does not even know if he is saved himself! Have a look at this quote:
NEWS BRIEF: "Graham Worries Heaven Might Be Wrong Place For Him", January 2, 2000, Fox News Interview, reported in The Calvary Contender, Vol. XVII, January 15, 2000.
"In a Jan. 2 Fox News interview, Tony Snow asked Billy Graham:
'When you get to Heaven, who's going to speak first, you or God?'
Graham replied: 'When I get there, I'm sure that Jesus is going
to say that he will welcome me. But I think that he's going to
say: 'Well done, our good and faithful servant.' Or he may say:
'You're in the wrong place'."

What more can be said? Christians need to stop following
popular man-teachers who teach heresy. Start putting what they
say to the Biblical test and see if they are from God or not!
Christians need to judge righteous judgment so they can discern
what is good and what is evil. This is very important in these
last days of deception before the return of the Lord Jesus!
Here is a stern warning from the Word of God concerning those
who dare to teach and mislead with a false gospel:
Gal 1
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you
into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and
would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel
unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any
other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Here is a observation about perverted Bible versions that are so popular in these days of apostasy: A church that allows and uses many perverted versions of the Bible breeds confusion. One person uses the perverted NIV, another uses the perverted NASB etc. Then someone comes in using a KJV. Guess what. When the Bible is read, no one can follow along. This breeds confusion! Stick with the tried and true KJV which is based on uncorrupted manuscripts then everyone can read along and study from the same Bible! This breeds unity!
Finally, It is very apparent that rock music does not bring in young people into the church. Instead, it corrupts the young people who are already in the church and leads them back to the world. These young people rebel and turn away from a close walk with the Lord Jesus. They become addicted to Satan's music and eventually fall away from the church or fall into terrible sin and rebellion.
The Bible is sufficient for all ages. It is spiritual food for the young and for the old. Rock music does not speak the language of the young person. Instead, it speaks the language of Satan as all churches who embrace it, turn liberal and apostate.
Prov 8
36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they
that hate me love death.
1 Sam 15
23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is
as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of
the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
1 Pet 2
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that
ye may grow thereby:
Good solid Bible teaching is very rare in these last days before the return of the Lord Jesus. Many wolves have become pastors and they have no heart or love for the Lord or His people. Their day of judgment before God is coming!
Praying aloud gets man jailed: Something's wrong with police priorities By Licia Corbella
Maybe if Artur Pawlowski had been holding a flag of the outlawed terrorist organization Hezbollah, Calgary Police would have left him alone.
Perhaps had they seen him on a street corner smoking crack cocaine -- or selling it -- they would have turned the other cheek, as is so often the case.
But Pawlowski was clearly doing something much more provocative Wednesday afternoon on the corner of 17 Ave. and 8 St. S.W. He -- along with about six other people -- were praying and reading the Bible.
Pawlowski, 33, who has been helping the homeless for years, gave up
his lucrative home-building business last year to start up The
Street Church full-time. ...continued...
Such activity was clearly too fringe for the Fringe Festival underway
in tents further west (and out of earshot) in the park. On Monday,
Pawlowski and his brother went to the park, talked with tarot card
readers and other practisers of "sorcery" to tell them the Bible
condemns such practices. Video shows they remained calm but the
vendors became agitated. Event organizers called police and Pawlowski
and his brother David were asked not to talk to the vendors again.
They agreed and left.
On Wednesday, when they returned to pray, they stayed far away from the vendors. Organizers called police anyway.
The video shows Pawlowski standing on the public sidewalk with his hands in his pockets. He asks a burly police officer in a calm voice, "Why are you harassing me? What did I do wrong?" The police officer responds with: "I'm going to arrest you for obstruction."
At that, Pawlowski is handcuffed and made to walk backwards to the
police cruiser where he was frisked....continued...

Canada hates and despises God. There is a growing hatred for the Word of
God in Canada (and the USA as well). The Bible is already on the
lawbooks as hate literature in Canada. How long will God keep silent
in light of this evil? To that, only God Himself knows. The day of
judgment is coming for Canada and for any people or nation that hate
the Lord!
Prov 14
34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
Get the message out! Judgment is coming and it has already started! It is long past time to repent and get right with God! The Lord Jesus (second person of the Trinity and God in human flesh) is the Only Saviour. Come to Him today before it is too late for you!
