Title: Judgenemt Is On It's Way For This Nation In Our SIN'S!!!!!! Post by: Revolutionist on October 09, 2006, 12:21:55 PM In a sermon delivered in 1989 at Times Square Church in New York City, Pastor Dave Wilkerson electrified his audience with the proclamation that America has passed the point of no return in its rebellion against God and has thus been destined by God for final judgment. He began the sermon with the following words:
America is dying! The country's wound is incurable. It is now in the final throes of a terminal disease. The great empire is crumbling! The Message Summarized The crucial points make by Wilkerson in this historic prophetic declaration were as follows: 1. America is a sinful nation that is currently experiencing the judgment of God. 2. God has raised up many prophetic voices to call America to repentance and to warn that continued rebellion will lead to doom. 3. America has refused to listen to these prophets. Instead, the nation has stiffened in its rebellion against God. 4. The result is that America has passed the point of no return, the point of "dread release," when God delivers a nation from judgment to destruction. 5. And thus, the wrath of God is about to fall on this nation, most likely in the form of an economic collapse from which there will be no recovery. A Mocking Nation It is an ominous message of truth that Americans, even Christians, will rebel against. The Christian community will reject it because it has compromised its values with the world, it has wrapped itself in the flag of patriotism, and it has deceived itself with its pollyanna gospel of health, wealth and prosperity. When God sent prophets to Israel and Judah, calling them to repentance, the people mocked the prophets. "We are God's Chosen People," they reminded the prophets. "God will never allow our nation to be destroyed." (See Jeremiah 5:12-13 and Micah 3:11.) For the past thirty years God has been raising up prophetic voices in America voices like Dave Wilkerson calling this country to repentance. We have reacted in the same manner as the ancient Israelites. We have mocked the prophets by arrogantly reminding them that we are a "Christian nation." A Nation under Judgment But the truth is that we are anything but a Christian nation. Our behavior as a nation makes a mockery of Christianity. We lead the world in every abomination known to man - abortion, alcoholism, drug addiction, gambling, divorce, child abuse, violent crime, pornography, and yes, even child pornography. Worse yet, we export our violence and immorality to other countries through our sleazy movies and television programs. We have become the moral polluter of planet earth. And we are reaping what we have sown. The judgment of God is upon this nation. Read Deuteronomy 28:15-48. The curses of a nation under judgment are listed there. The passage reads like a detailed description of American society cities in chaos, youth in bondage, government in confusion, a foreign policy in retreat, rampant disease, epidemic divorce, agricultural calamity, and increasing foreign domination. A Nation in Rebellion Yet, despite these judgments, we have refused to repent. In fact, we have stiffened in our rebellion against God. In our schools we have abolished prayer, removed the Ten Commandments, and banned the distribution of Bibles. We have terrorized our teachers into believing they will lose their jobs if they mention God to their students. We have even mandated the teaching of atheistic evolution and have prohibited the truth of creationism. We are in the process of legalizing and even encouraging sodomy. We are handling out condoms and needles to our youth. We are going out of our way to protect every expression of profanity and obscenity. Our state governments are encouraging immorality by promoting gambling in every conceivable form. And our artists are wallowing in blasphemy, using every form of artistic expression to mock and ridicule God. America is thumbing its nose at God. The Supreme Court is in rebellion against God. Our Congress is hardened against God. Our Bureaucracy could care less about God. Our educational system has banned God. A Nation Facing Wrath The chilling thing about our behavior as a nation is that the Bible teaches that when a nation under judgment refuses to repent, it will ultimately reach a point where God will deliver it from judgment to wrath from discipline to doom. The Bible further teaches that when this terrible point of dread release is reached, the nation cannot be saved even by the prayer of the Righteous! Read Ezekiel 14:12-20. I call this the "Nahum Principle" because it is so clearly taught in the prophetic message that God gave to Nahum to deliver to Ninevah, the capitol of the Assyrian empire. Nahum pronounced that the nation's wounds had become "incurable" (Nahum 3:19). Jeremiah used this same terminology when he later pronounced God's doom upon Judah (Jeremiah 10:19 and 30:12). Nahum identifies the point of no return in chapter one, verse 11. He says it occurs when a nation's apathy toward God or rebellion against God is transformed into war with God. In other words, it is one thing for a nation to ignore God and another for it to rebel against God. These actions will provoke the judgment of God. But when a nation goes to war with God, that nation beckons the wrath of God and thus seals its doom. Has America reached that point? Dave Wilkerson, God's Jeremiah for our time, says we have. I think Wilkerson is right on target. How will God's wrath be manifested toward us? Initially, it is most likely to come in the form of an economic collapse from which there will be no hope of recovery. Ultimately, it is likely to be consummated in our destruction by nuclear weapons. As we face the consequences of our war against God, let those of us who are Christians do so with hope in our hearts, remembering the words of Nahum 1:7 "The Lord is good. He is a stronghold in the day of trouble. And He knows those who take refuge in Him. By: Pastor David Wilkerson We as a Nation need to be repenting of our SIN'S that we are committing daily, by seeking GOD'S face on forgiveness and turn form our wicked ways that we have turned from Him. Seek Him on our face in PRAYER. REPENT FROM OUR WICKED WAY'S.

Post by: nChrist on October 10, 2006, 02:54:52 AM Revolutionist,
I'm curious about your use of ;D in serious posts. Is there something funny about this? Judgment is on it's way for the entire world - EVERY NATION! There is NO nation worthy of exemption, and GOD knew this before the foundation of the world. Bible Prophecy foretells of the end of this Age of Grace, and it will most definitely be horrible beyond anything that mankind can imagine. All Bible Prophecy will be fulfilled perfectly at GOD'S appointed time. The Greatest AUTHOR in the universe has already finished the story, and no man can add to or take away from what is already recorded. The AUTHOR I refer to is ALMIGHTY GOD! You can read the whole story in the best-seller of all time - THE HOLY BIBLE. One really needs to read and study the entire BOOK, but there are several portions that are quickly known for addressing the end of this Age of Grace: Daniel, Revelation, Ezekiel, and Isaiah. The 7 years prior to the Second Coming of CHRIST will also be horrible, and it's possible that time might be coming soon. NO man knows, but GOD has already finished the story on this also. The Second Coming of CHRIST is described in great detail in the Holy Bible. JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF will lead the Heavenly Hosts, and it will be a time of horror and bloodshed like the world have never known. CHRIST will come with Great WRATH, and hosts will face HIS Terrible Swift Sword. AGAIN, this entire period of time was known by GOD before the foundation of the earth, and no power in the universe can slow or hasten GOD'S Promises that will most definitely be fulfilled at HIS appointed time. There is a difference of opinion among many Christians about where the CHURCH WHICH IS THE BODY OF CHRIST will be during the 7 year Tribulation Period. I have my own opinion, but there are already large portions of the forum devoted to this. For this discussion, I'll just mention a few facts. The CHURCH WHICH IS THE BODY OF CHRIST will be dealt with separately by GOD. GOD has also made Promises to the BODY OF CHRIST, and they will be fulfilled perfectly at GOD'S appointed time. The BODY OF CHRIST is not the world and not a nation. There are members of the BODY OF CHRIST from many generations and from all over the world. Saying that you are an American, a Canadian, etc., etc., etc. will mean absolutely nothing to GOD. GOD knows those who belong to HIM, both the living and the dead. The only thing that will make any difference is having JESUS CHRIST as your Lord and Saviour. I will give a hint for some who wish to study about the end of the age of Grace for Christians. 1) There is no condemnation for those who are in CHRIST; 2) The sins of those who belong to JESUS CHRIST have been forgiven already because of the blood of our precious LORD and SAVIOUR on the Cross; 3) The CHURCH WHICH IS THE BODY OF CHRIST was not formed for wrath, rather for Salvation (Rescue) and forgiveness; 4) There isn't a word in the Holy Bible about the BODY OF CHRIST facing the wrath of GOD. In conclusion, it really doesn't matter what country you live in, what language you speak, or what brick and mortar church you attend. The ONLY difference is having JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and SAVIOUR or rejecting HIM. I want to take this opportunity again and post the GOOD NEWS. Love In Christ, Tom GOOD NEWS! 1: Romans 3:10 NASB as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE." 2: Romans 3:23 NASB for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 3: Romans 5:12 NASB Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned-- 4: Romans 6:23 NASB For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 5: Romans 1:18 NASB For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 6: Romans 3:20 NASB because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. 7: Romans 3:27 NASB Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 8: Romans 5:8-9 NASB But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. 9: Romans 2:4 NASB Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? 10: Romans 3:22 NASB even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; 11: Romans 3:28 NASB For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. 12: Romans 10:9 NASB that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 13: Romans 4:21 NASB and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform. 14: Romans 4:24 NASB but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 15: Romans 5:1 NASB Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 16: Romans 10:10 NASB for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 17: Romans 10:13 NASB for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." Thanks be unto GOD for HIS unspeakable GIFT!, JESUS CHRIST, our Lord and Saviour forever! Title: Re: Judgenemt Is On It's Way For This Nation In Our SIN'S!!!!!!

On the smiling smilie I am expressing the joy of my Lord in me. :o From: The Revvolutionist His Bondservant Forever In Christ Jesus \0/ Brother, I understand that completely. I feel the joy of the LORD more each day, and I know many sweet Christians with little more than the joy of the LORD, but a person is RICH with this alone. I'm thinking about some Christians with very little of the world's riches and others with serious health problems, but JESUS CHRIST is the core and focus of their lives. As this old world gets worse and worse, I pray that all Christians learn to put all of their priorities in CHRIST. Regardless of our worldly possessions or physical health, Christians should be the happiest people on the earth. We already know about all of our tomorrows for eternity. Now I understand, and I'm glad you explained this. Many of our regulars here have the same JOY and they are most happy to share the HOPES within their hearts that are the Promises of GOD. I many times feel that the last days of this age of Grace might be approaching, but hosts of people are still accepting JESUS CHRIST as their LORD and SAVIOUR. For many of us here, we simply pray that GOD gives us the strength and guidance to do HIS Will until HE comes to take us home.

THE RAPTURE WILL BE A REALITY! 1 Thessalonians 4:13 NASB But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 NASB For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 4:15 NASB For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 NASB For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 NASB Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:18 NASB Therefore comfort one another with these words. ____________________________ 1 Corinthians 15:50 NASB Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 1 Corinthians 15:51 NASB Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 1 Corinthians 15:52 NASB 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 will be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:53 NASB For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 1 Corinthians 15:54 NASB But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. 1 Corinthians 15:55 NASB "O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?" 1 Corinthians 15:56 NASB The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; 1 Corinthians 15:57 NASB but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:58 NASB Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

It's been a long time since I posted these, and this thread appears to be a perfect place: ____________________________ (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i160/tlr10/relig/relig039.gif) Revelation 21:1 NASB Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. Revelation 21:2 NASB And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. Revelation 21:3 NASB And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, Revelation 21:4 NASB and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." Revelation 21:5 NASB And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And He *said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true." Revelation 21:6 NASB Then He said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost. Revelation 21:7 NASB "He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. Revelation 21:8 NASB "But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." Revelation 21:9 NASB Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." Revelation 21:10 NASB And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, Revelation 21:11 NASB having the glory of God. Her brilliance was like a very costly stone, as a stone of crystal-clear jasper. Revelation 21:12 NASB It had a great and high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. Revelation 21:13 NASB There were three gates on the east and three gates on the north and three gates on the south and three gates on the west. Revelation 21:14 NASB And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. Revelation 21:15 NASB The one who spoke with me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city, and its gates and its wall. Revelation 21:16 NASB The city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the rod, fifteen hundred miles; its length and width and height are equal. Revelation 21:17 NASB And he measured its wall, seventy-two yards, according to human measurements, which are also angelic measurements. Revelation 21:18 NASB The material of the wall was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. Revelation 21:19 NASB The foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; Revelation 21:20 NASB the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. Revelation 21:21 NASB And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. Revelation 21:22 NASB I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. Revelation 21:23 NASB And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb. Revelation 21:24 NASB The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. Revelation 21:25 NASB In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be closed; Revelation 21:26 NASB and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it; Revelation 21:27 NASB and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Post by: nChrist on October 10, 2006, 08:38:08 AM (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i160/tlr10/relig/relig041.gif) Revelation 22:1 NASB Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, Revelation 22:2 NASB in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. Revelation 22:3 NASB There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; Revelation 22:4 NASB they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. Revelation 22:5 NASB And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever. Revelation 22:6 NASB And he said to me, "These words are faithful and true"; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place. Revelation 22:7 NASB "And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book." Revelation 22:8 NASB I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. Title: Re: Judgenemt Is On It's Way For This Nation In Our SIN'S!!!!!! Post by: Revolutionist on October 10, 2006, 12:29:42 PM Blackeyedpeas: I is sure great that there is people out here on this site believe the way of the Truth of The Word like you. He is coming back for His Bride soon I believe. On some of the other Blog sites that I do they think that the Second Coming of Christ, or the Rapture was for them back then no for today. God's word is true than as well as now. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.. That is the way I see it. Take care in Christ Jesus an have a very blessed day ;D
