The title above of this article : "That's it! Here it comes!" is from a quote by Pastor Billy Crone during his discussion with Gary Stearman of Prophecywatchers.com, concerning the seals of the Bible book of Revelation. As always, Pastor Crone is very clear and informative and rather unique in his presentations of Biblical topics ! A must watch 29 minute video follows:
Many persons, in their self-righteousness, believe they will go to heaven because of their many good works, or charitable donations, and the like. Some believe that since their family were all Christians and they were born into a home where both mother and father were Christians, that that is their "ticket" to heaven. But those true believers who have developed a close relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ, know the real reason why some will go to heaven! Please watch the following recent 11 minute video titled:"The Real Reason you are going to Heaven (This May Surprise You)"
Many people today are caught up in everyday affairs of making a living and providing for their family; and many are just plain trying desparately to survive! They do not take time to consider what lies beyond this secular and godless world. Big Mistake!! One day we will all die (or, in the case of followers of Jesus Christ, will be raptured to Heaven before death!) The point is, WAKE UP and consider eternity! Eternity is a long time to spend in the wrong place: HELL!
The following recent 14 minute video is titled: "What Will God Say To You on the Day Of Judgment?"
The video above brings out the fact that every evil word, evil act, and evil thought will be made manifest on Judgment Day! It also tells us two main things required of us: "to pursue peace and holiness" now while we dwell on earth.
"Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord." - Hebrews 12:14
Obviously, however, we need to believe in the Savior, Jesus Christ, in order to be saved in the first place. Only the shed blood of Jesus - the sacrificial Lamb of God - can cleanse us of our sins; wipe the slate clean, so to speak, as He alone - Him only !! - could pay our sin debt in full (He ransomed us) at His death at Calvary! It was and is a debt we could never pay ourselves, because of its enormity! We cannot work our way to heaven! Good works do NOT save us. (Ephesians 2:8-9. Only belief in the power of Jesus' shed blood will save us: meaning to believe in HIM as the Savior with all of our very being; our very essence! Our very soul! This obviously means true FAITH ! You need to realize the seriousness and the enormity of your sins, and be truly repentant. Pray for forgiveness in all sincerity and contriteness.
Following are salvation Scriptures as a guide for those who are not yet believers in the Savior, Jesus Christ. They are also good verses for Christians to memorize and then to share with unsaved acquaintances and family members.
"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son will not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." - John 3:36
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." - John 14:6
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." - John 3:3
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
Bible prophecy, as said many, many times previously on this blog, is coming true now at warp speed! The times are urgent, chaotic, and fearful! More will be written here later concerning recent events and how they are fulfilling Bible prophecy. (If I live so long; or if the Rapture does not occur before then - before I am able to write any more articles !) I strongly suggest that you do some research right now on your own on You Tube or on websites that give information on the end times and Bible prophecy, (such as Raptureready.com, and Raptureforums.com, and many others).

"The prayer of faith is the only power in the universe to which the great Jehovah yields. Prayer is the sovereign remedy." - Robert Hall
"Be sure you look to your secret duty; keep that up whatever you do. The soul cannot prosper in the neglect of it. Apostacy generally begins at the [prayer] closet door. Be much in secret fellowship with God. It is secret trading that enriches the Christian. Pray alone. Let prayer be the key of the morning and the bolt at night. The best way to fight against sin is to fight it on our knees." - Philip Henry
"It is Christ's will that [man] should be thus isolated, and that he should fix his eyes solely on HIM." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer (in "The Cost of Discipleship.")
"Let God have your life, He can do more with it than you can!" - unknown
"If the LORD be with us, we have no cause of fear. His eye is upon us, His arm over us, His ear open to our prayer - His grace sufficient, His promises unchangeable." - John Newton
