KISS THE SON
We have arrived at the midnight hour of the Bible's most mysterious, terrifying, and unknown periods of time, the "time" just before the Rapture of the Church. No one has ever been here before. The four horses of the Book of Revelation are pawing the ground; Nation rising against Nation; the earth groans and shakes under the pressure of fulfilled prophecy; and Almighty God is angry. It's time to "kiss the Son!"
"Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish {from} the way, when
his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed {are} all
they that put their trust in Him."
The Book of Ezekiel is about to come to pass (regarding the nations who will come against Israel) , "And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord." (Ezekiel 38:22,23)
"But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them
ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you."
(Psalm 5:11)
It is time for the world to pay homage to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords; to recognize His authority and omnipotent reign; and to submit and realize He is God, the Lord Jesus Christ. When the God of the universe becomes angry, all of planet earth knows it! "Why is He angry?" you ask. When people seek to destroy what He loves, Israel; when sin is rampant; when the Nations have unrighteous leaders; when laws are passed to promote sin; and when people shake their fists in the face of almighty God and dare Him to deal with them, He becomes angry ... and He does ... "deal with them."
God is more than Love; He is just. He is longsuffering and patient, but He reaches a point when He expects a change, a humility, a repentance, and a bended knee. We are here! It's for our own good; a Holy people, a God-fearing Nation, a peaceful world are what we should all long for. It is still a choice; we can choose righteousness or we can choose evil. The result is Heaven or Hell. You say, "That's rather blunt!" The Bible is very blunt; the Lord does not "surprise us" with an eternity in the pits of Hell; nor does He surprise us with a blissful eternity in Heaven. Both are clearly defined, and roapmaps to each are spelled out from Genesis to Revelation. The road to salvation is spelled out in the Book of Acts where the Church began; obey Acts 2:38; then Romans to Jude tell us how to live godly after salvation. The road to Hell is paved with evil, selfish desires, and disobedience to His Word.
How does one appease an angry God? "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14) It could usher in Joel 2:28 when the Lord pours out His Spirit upon all flesh; it could push us into a worldwide revival of paramount proportions; it could "delay" the wrath of God just a little longer.
What can we do in the midst of these dark clouds hovering over every Nation; the sounds of tanks and bombers; the increasing noise of irate voices; the crumbling economic chaos; the minute by minute breaking news of more disasters; and the shaking, cracking upheaval of the very ground beneath us? There's one thing we can do ...
