Last Days of the Age

Inri Cristo Clains to be Jesus Reincarnated

²³ “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. ²⁴ For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. ²⁵ See, I have told you beforehand.

²⁶ “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. ²⁷ For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. ²⁸ For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together. (Mat. 24-23-28)

A Call to Worship

Something to prayerfully consider from the JudahsLion.BlogSpot.

Sometime over 2,000 years ago mankind was given an immeasurable gift. Something the prophets of ancient Israel yearned to see and foretold by the Holy Spirit. In the end it doesn’t matter what time of year it happened, only that mankind would realize the truth and reality of the gift apart from the pull and twistedness of the world.

Of Course I am speaking of the only begotten Son of God, born of a virgin woman conceived by the Holy Spirit by the will of the Father in Heaven. Reavealed to, witnessed and proclaimed by many including simple shepherds tending their flock at night, wise men who travelled far from the East. Even foretold to and witnessed by others in Jerusalem as told to us in the Gospels. People who were devoted to God in His Truth. Expectant of the Savior who would wash away their sins in which they were held captive. Only in a temporary way having their sins appeased by the blood of cattle.

And so with this gift bestowed not only upon Israel of the Old Testament. But also a promise to the Gentiles that the whole world would have the opportunity of redemption in and through this one who would become a man of perfection. As even Pontius Pilate, the governer of the land at that time declared.’When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it.” ‘ (Mat. 27:24)

And so it is that as Jesus who is the Christ, born of a virgin woman, conceived by the Holy Spirit by the will of the Father calls men and women to repentance, I also proclaim in His name that today is the day of Salvation. Not in anyone else but the Lord Jesus the Christ.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)

“It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. (Rev. 21:6)

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” (Mat. 4:17)

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. (Romans 1:16)

For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. (2 Cor. 6:2)

For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. (2 Cor. 7:10)

⁸ Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance (Mat. 3:8)

Delusional Christianity And Satan’s Counterfeit Ekklesia.

Steve Dines sums up another critical commentary on the state of the institution and God’s True work in Christ.

I thank my Lord above
for my Salvation alone in Him
I thank my Lord above
for my food, shelter and Spiritual provision
I thank my Lord above
for a Love deeper and wider than my own
I thank my Lord above
that He is nearer to me than I sometimes know
I thank my Lord above
for a God who knows me and that I can know
I thank my Lord above
for the continual reminders of what a failure I am in my own right to keep me humble

I thank my Lord above…

the water is just fine!

It’s true. Jesus our Christ said He was giving those who followed Him living water.

³⁷ On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. ³⁸ Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”³⁹ By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. (John 7:37-39)

When Jesus was speaking with the Samaritan woman at the well He said:

¹³ Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, ¹⁴ but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:13)

It is also recorded in the book of Revelation:

¹³ Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”

¹⁴ I answered, “Sir, you know.”

And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ Therefore,

“they are before the throne of God
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne
will shelter them with his presence.
¹⁶ ‘Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them,’
nor any scorching heat.
¹⁷ For the Lamb at the center of the throne
will be their shepherd;
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’
‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
(Rev. 7:13-17)

So by my tongue in cheek introduction I want to tell each person who reads this that Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior will satisfy all our Spiritual needs. There is nothing in this earth that will satisfy us. There is nothing we can do or say that will satisfy God the Father. For it has all been done through Christ as He has died on the cross once and all fulfilling the Fathers need to have our sins covered in blood.

⁴ Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
⁵ But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

⁷ He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He opened not His mouth;
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
⁸ He was taken from prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
⁹ And they^[a] made His grave with the wicked—
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any deceit in His mouth.

There  is only one Gospel – only one true message of good news from heaven. But there are many substitutes offered in place of the Gospel. It was so in the beginning. It is so now. The apostle

Paul wrote to the Galatians:

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel; which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 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. 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. (Galatians1:6-9)

THESE are intensely solemn words. They come bubbling up from the steaming heart of the indignant apostle in righteous wrath as he learns of pretentious carnal legalists deliberately seeking to mislead eternally-bound souls with a false message which could only, like a will-o-the-wisp, lead to ruin and destruction at last. He would have us know it is a fearfully wicked thing to trifle with the sacred heaven – sent message that has come to a needy world declaring the grace of God to poor lost sinners.

WHAT then is this Gospel of which the apostle was so jealous? He tells us plainly in 1st Corinthians 15:1-4:

“… I declare unto you the gospel… how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”

Note carefully: The Gospel is God’s wonderful story of His beloved Son. It is a message of grace to be received in faith. It is not a code of laws to be obeyed or good advice to be followed. It is not a system of ritual observances or a call to submit to certain ordinances. It does not set forth the claims of any human church organization, however venerable, nor does it exhort men to seek after experiences, however remarkable, though a blessed experience follows its acceptance. It simply sets forth Christ crucified and risen as the Savior of all who believe in Him.

WHEN THE MORMON elder comes declaring that an angel revealed a gospel of salvation through a restored church and renewed ordinances, he is preaching another gospel, and angel and man are alike under the curse.

WHEN THE LEGALIST comes insisting that salvation is by obedience to God’s holy law (which in itself is just and good), he is preaching another gospel, for the Word of God declares, “By the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified in His sight.”

WHEN THE REVIVALIST comes promising salvation to those “who make a full surrender” of all that they have to God, and who “pay the price of full salvation,” he is preaching another gospel, for the price was paid on Calvary’s cross and the work that saves is finished. It was Christ Jesus who made the full surrender, when He yielded Himself unto death for us that we might be redeemed from the curse of the broken law and forever saved from the judgment to come upon all who refuse His grace.

WHEN THE MODERNIST prates in glowing terms and honeyed phrases of salvation by character, salvation by altruism, salvation by ethical culture, he, too is proclaiming another gospel, for if character could have saved, Christ need not have died; if altruism would have fitted sinful men for heaven, the Lord Jesus would surely have told us so; if ethical culture could deliver from the wrath of God, what place would Gethsemane, Calvary and the Empty Tomb have in the Divine economy?

WHEN THE CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST (falsely so-called) denies the reality of sin, disease and death and lulls sinners to sleep by telling them that “God is all and all is God,” even going so far as to declare the death of Christ was unreal, and His resurrection simply spiritual, and that the blood of Jesus was no more efficacious to cleanse from sins when shed upon the accursed tree than when it was flowing in His veins, he, or she, is promulgating another gospel, which is not another, for it is a baseless dream, a weird and blasphemous “error of mortal mind” that will leave its votaries at last without God and without hope.

THE SOLEMN FACT IS THERE IS NO OTHER GOSPEL. Every pretended substitute is but a Satan-devised delusion meant to turn men away from the strait gate which alone leads into the narrow way, and make them contented as they crowd down the clear side of the broad way to eternal perdition.

BEFORE there can really be another gospel there must be another savior and another Holy Spirit, and this can never be. Nor is any other gospel needed, for the grand old Gospel of the grace of God is all-sufficient to save “whosoever will,” and has demonstrated its power throughout the centuries by transforming lost miserable sinners into happy joyous saints. Paul says:

I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith. (Romans 1:16,17)

THE Gospel needs only to be preached in the power of the Holy Spirit to hold its own against every imitation and substitute that the mind of the natural man energized by Satan can devise. Like the Bible itself it is divinely inspired and, therefore, preeminently fitted for the needs of mankind… It convinces the mind and satisfies the heart, if men but take the place of repentant sinners and accept it by faith. It is the dynamic of God unto the deliverance of all who believe it. To refuse it is to be lost. To receive its message is to be saved.

IT reveals the righteousness of God, making known how He “can be just and the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus.” Satan’s false gospels all pretend to show how man can establish his own righteousness. The Gospel of Christ comes to unrighteous men and tells them of a righteousness that is divine which is imputed to all who believe.

ANOTHER gospel – whatever its outward form – will always be found to center in something that man can be or do in order to obtain merit. The Gospel of God declares what Christ has done in order that the salvation purchased may be justly offered to sinners.

ANOTHER gospel presupposes some strength, some ability to please God, in the natural man. God’s Gospel declares that when “we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.”

ANOTHER gospel will land you in hell! God’s Gospel, believed, will bring you safe to heaven.

TURNING from every false hope, I beseech my unsaved reader to rest in what Scripture declares concerning Christ, and thus be able to sing in faith:

“Upon a life I did not live, Upon a death I did not die, Another’s life, Another’s death I hang my whole eternity. None will ever be confounded who put their trust in Him.”

This is not an endorsement of Dr. Harry A. Ironside or his other views, writings or opinions. I found this writing to be particularly inspired and felt it worthy to share with others whom the Spirit and Christ is calling unto Salvation by Him who has died on the cross for our sins.

There is a clarion call from the Lord Jesus who is our Christ to be in the world but not of the world. For we who are His are not to walk in the same manner as the world walks. Today is a day many celebrate called Halloween. While it’s beginnings are pagan, many who call on Christ include this day in their walk and dress up as witches, warlocks and other characters, both evil and ordinary to have fun. But at what cost? At the cost of their walk and representation in Christ.

Our Holy Lord is quoted in the Gospels as saying:

¹³ “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

¹⁴ “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. ¹⁶ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. (Mat. 5:13-16)

If we, who are His are called the salt of the earth and a light to the world, then if we walk according to the world, doesn’t this diminish or even extinguish our light and our salt loses it’s flavor? So then we will be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. This is what the Lord said. Not me.

Paul also wrote and exhorted us through his letter to the Corinthians(2Cor. 6:14-18):

¹⁴ Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? ¹⁵ And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you^[b] are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.”^{(Leviticus 26:12; Jeremiah 32:38; Ezekiel 37:27)}

¹⁷ Therefore

“Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” (Isaiah 52:11; Ezekiel 20:34, 41)¹⁸ “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.”(2 Samuel 7:14)
