"He Got Up!"

              

"If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are 
of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen 
from the dead ... even so in Christ shall all be made alive."
(I Corinthians 15:19,20,22)

Jesus Christ is ALIVE!  He arose the third day as He 

said He would; and mankind was redeemed 

From the whipping post to the cross to the tomb, but it

was not over as it seemed

The tomb was now empty, and the stone was rolled away; there

is no more pain; only the scars remain

The cross didn't defeat Him; the tomb didn't hold Him; death

didn't conquer Him; the universe is His domain

Hell trembled when He burst through the door; the keys 

were in His hand, and He was THE Man!

Defeat was swallowed up in victory by the One who reigns

over all; it was an immortal plan

"Is it really true?" you ask.  The Lord Jesus Christ appeared

to many after He arose; it's true

And, by the outpouring of His Spirit, after He ascended to 

the throne; the truth is confirmed anew

He IS the risen LORD, the God of creation, the Savior 

and the Comforter; He IS "I AM!"

He IS the Alpha and Omega, the Holy One of Israel, the 

Lion of Judah, and the risen Lamb

The world will never be the same, for Glory took the 

reins and Holiness is on the move

To reclaim Eden, bring earth to the altar, and rains of 

the Spirit, a power which satan doesn't approve

But, wail all you will satan, the world is not yours to 

plunder; it is the LORD'S footstool

Jesus Christ sits upon the circle of the earth, and His 

rising has shown you, satan, to be but a fool

The Lord Jesus Christ is alive forevermore; His majesty 

took reign, when He knelt and drank the cup

Then, the sin was obliterated by the blood, the cross, the

death, and when "He Got Up!"

"Triumphant Entry"

Jesus Christ began His Entry at Jericho, ascending to 

the beautiful Holy City, Jerusalem

It was quite a ride, 3,000 feet of climbing on a donkey,

borrowed on that day, for the use of him
It was a Holy and prophetic fulfillment, spoken of the
arrival of the One and only King of Kings 
With their palms waving and lively Hosanna's praising; 
it was, indeed, a joyous time to sing
A passion was emerging from the crowd, the beginning of 
a Holy worship, and glorious convocation
It was a triumph for a lost world; the omnipotent God came 
to die, a heavenly, yet required, earthly oblation
He was the long promised Messiah, the Lord and Savior for 
His sinful created "dust," for all of creation
He was born of a virgin to live and to die, and then rise in a
miraculous, brilliant, splendorous manifestation
So, it was absolutely fitting to pave His path, with carpets
of garments laid, and greenery of royal fronds
For Jesus Christ embodies the power to break all chains,
 free the possessed, and loose all the bonds
He was God who gave life to that very tree, His nemesis, and
then it was His finished deed, His dying cross
But, He counted it worthy and fitting to be an instrument,
to cover the debt of Sin, the ultimate cost
The palm was the branch laid down to the One who reigns,
and who would forever set mankind free
 But, His hands are the palms of running blood, nailed in victory;
 it was an eternal ransom for you and me
As He rode upon that borrowed colt, His mind could see the cross,
the beating, the blood, the torture yet to be
The people didn't know the monumental day this was to be in all 
of history; they only knew it was a "Triumphant Entry."

"Back To Eden"

"And a river went out of Eden to water the garden;

and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.  

The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;  And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.  And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.  And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.  And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it."

(Genesis 2:10-15)

Everything comes full circle with The Creator of all things.  You say, "What do you mean?"  Here's what I mean:

    The Garden of Eden was in Iraq

Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, was the cradle of civilization

Noah built the Ark in Iraq (Landed on Mt. Ararat)

The Tower of Babel was in Iraq (Northwest of Bagdad)

Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq

Isaac's wife, Rebekah, was from Nahor, which is in Iraq

Jacob met Rachel in Iraq

Jonah preached in Nineveh, which is in Iraq (Northern, run by Babylonian Empire)

Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel

Amos cried out in Iraq

Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem

Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq

The three Hebrew children were in the fiery furnace in Iraq

Belshazzar, King of Babylon, saw the handwriting on the wall in Iraq

Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq

Ezekiel preached in Iraq

The wise men were from Iraq

Israel is the nation mentioned most often in the Bible, but second to that is Iraq, or as it was in biblical times: Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia.  The name Iraq means "country with deep roots."  So, here we are again, headlines, back at the beginning; only this time it doesn't look much like a Garden  ... the rivers are flowing with blood.  What is happening?  Prophecy.    The word "Eden" in Hebrew means: delight, luxury, pleasure, paradise.  Today's Iraq, with blood and war, is not what Almighty God intended, but in the end, it will all come full circle to a new heaven and a new earth  ... and a restored Eden.

Adam and Eve banished from the Garden, after sinning

  

Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if Adam and Eve had not sinned and been banished from the Garden?  What if the sin had not spiraled from there to the need for the great flood?  What if the world was not on this road to Armageddon?  What if there had been no sin in the Garden and we were still there in a perpetual "earth Garden?"  You say, "What if's are crazy; we can never go back there."  Oh, but we can!  I believe the thousand years of peace will revert back to a Garden of Eden status.  The devil will be in the Lake of fire; the lion will lie down with the lamb; there will be no more war; The Lord Jesus Christ will have come back to earth and set His feet on the Mount of Olives and He will have taken earth back; the thousand years of peace will be in motion  ...  and Eden will be back  ...

Roman soldier spearing Jesus

Who is in control of the Middle East?  Who has His hand on the Nations?  Who sets up and tears down?  Who controls time and destiny?  The ONE with the spear-scarred side, the One who gushed "water and blood" when the Roman soldier pierced Him in His side, the One who is coming back  ...  The King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ!

What is the significance of "water and blood" from the side of Jesus Christ, when He was pierced on Calvary?  Blood and water were the two essential elements under the Levitical system for cleansing impurity.  When Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, and grew to the age of 30 and began His ministry for 3 1/2 years to the point for which He came  ... to die; He came to die, to take the place of the old Levitical law, He became the sacrifice for all time and for all mankind; He shed His blood on calvary, because without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.  When the spear pierced His side, "blood and water" gushed forth, symbolizing the birth of the Church.  Even as Eve was formed from the rib from Adam's side, so was the Church, the bride of Christ, borne from the side of Jesus Christ  ...  the water and the blood  ...  "And there are three that bear witness in the earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one."  (I John 5:8)  This is the gospel of Jesus Christ, His death, burial and resurrection; repentance, baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost  ...  the message of the Church to a lost and dying world.  

It's time for Iraq to get back to its "deep roots" of purity and beauty; there's only One who can accomplish that, and He's the Lion of Judah, The Holy One of Israel, The Gardener of Eden.  All eyes are on that deep-rooted place, and it's because the beginning has come to the end to go back to the beginning.  Huh?  The Gospel shall be preached, and published, in all the world for a witness and then the end shall come!  The world is not flailing about with no guiding hand  ...  No, there is an unseen hand moving the Nations, directing events, orchestrating the positions  ...  Why? Prophecy!  The Bible will be fulfilled to the very last word, and the Gardener is in control! 

We're living in the times of "Living Water," the times of the Spirit of Jesus Christ dwelling in His creation, the times of the outpouring upon all flesh  ...  The blood of Iraq must meet up with the "Living Water," and The Gardener, so that the circle will begin to be complete:  "Back To Eden."

"By the Light of the Moon"

Shine bright and strong, O moon, so high and

lofty in your dwelling place

You're the light of the night, the glow of beauty

in the portals of reflective grace

We look to you in the darkness to guide our way,

as the symbol of God's Church

Your aura can be seen throughout the world,

without even an attempt to search

For you were positioned in the heavens, by the

Master of all the universe

Your brilliance for earth to ponder, is in the wonder

of you, and we are immersed

We stare at you for hours, deep in thoughts of beyond

our humble earthly shore

You beckon us to the heavens in your majesty; it's

a call for mortals to explore

A radiant and soft ambiance emanates from the

surface of your globe

And we're drawn to know more about you, the power

of the heavens, an enticing probe

Your reflection dances in the waters like silky garments,

blowing in the gentle winds

And your mystery is revealed in the light of the night,

as the darkness covers and descends

You were created to guide the way, in the ebonies of

this lonely and fearful hour

As mankind moves along, feeling the way in terror,

 searching for Spirit and power

The beam of your glow that is now so rare, draws us to

conclude, that our Lord is coming soon

We must be ready, looking for the Bridegroom, and prepare 

the Bride's garments, "By The Light Of The Moon."

"Don't Get Left Behind!"

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with 

a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump 

of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which 

are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever 

be with the Lord."

(I Thessalonians 4:16-17)

It will be a day, or a night, just like any other, but something will happen in 1/44th of a second, which will devastate the world!  Millions of people, from planes and even cockpits, from automobiles, from trains, from offices, from homes, from every place all over the world, will suddenly vanish.  There will be no warning, no sirens, no alerts, no newsflash to get ready on your TV screen  ...  nothing  ... just GONE  ...  If it's daytime where you are when it happens, and people are walking their dogs, the dog will stop and sit down with leash attached, but no human  ...  just empty clothes lying beside the wondering animal.  All up and down the streets will be crashed cars, trucks, and buses, with empty clothes lying on the sidewalks and the grasses, no drivers in those crashed cars and vehicles  ... People will be aimlessly crying and walking the streets.  Why?  Their loved ones are missing; their neighbors and friends are missing, and they don't know where they've gone  ...



  "In a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.

For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable,

 and we will be changed."

(I Corinthians 15:52)

There will be some, of course, who will blame it on UFO's, or some other wild explainable mysterious happening, but those who have had any biblical teaching, who have read their Bibles, who sat in Church at some time in their lives, or who have read a blog just like this  ...  they will know  ...  And, the sad thing is that if they know and they're still here in earth  ...  they will remember the title of this simple little blog, "Don't Get Left Behind."

When the trumpet sounds and Jesus catches us away to meet Him in the air, whether it's morning, night or noon, He's coming for something of value, because the Bible says He comes "as a thief in the night."  That meaning of value is that we must be saved, sanctified, redeemed, and washed in His blood to be worthy to be caught away.  We must obey what Peter said when the people asked him, "What must we do?"  He had been preaching to them for some time, and they were stirred in their hearts, wanting to know what they must do to be saved.  It has not changed; in fact, Paul said this, "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."  Who was we?  He and Peter. 

The life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, His blood shed on the cross to take away the sins of the world, and our repentance (likened to His death), our being baptized in His name (likened unto His burial), and our receiving the Holy Ghost and speaking with tongues as His Spirit gives utterance (likened unto His resurrection) is what Paul was talking about.  There is only One gospel, One Lord, One faith, and One baptism; it's all in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Blood of Jesus Christ, and the Word of Jesus Christ.  In Him, Jesus Christ, dwells all of the fullness of the godhead bodily; One sits on the throne!  Hallelujah! 

Our mission as Christians is to make sure no one is "left behind."  We're fighting the devil and his imps, reaching the lost, going back for the wounded, and we're pulling them to safety  ...  Harvest time.  The Lord Jesus Christ wants YOUR shoes to be empty on that day when He comes for His own.  Everyone who is left behind will go through terrible judgment such as the world has never seen; they will have to deal with the antichrist, the mark of the beast, 666; and people who take his mark will have no chance for redemption; they will have sold their souls.  And, people WILL take the mark.  No one will be able to buy or sell without it.  There will be no living in planet earth without it  ... If one refuses to take it; they will be beheaded; they will die.  It's all in the book of Revelation.  We still have a little time, but the clock is ticking away  ...  Get Ready!

  

Almighty God keeps His promises; if He said He will come as a thief and catch us away, He Will; if He said He will come again to earth and set His feet upon the the Mt. of Olives and take back planet earth, He Will!  And, He did say it, and He Will perform it!  The Church is called the Bride of Christ; He longs for His Bride; He's been preparing for her for way over 2000 years.  He will remove her, His Bride before he judges the people left in earth, because of their Sin.  That's why we must be ready for the Rapture of the Church.  You don't want to be here when God's JUDGMENT is poured out by an angry God upon a SINFUL earth.

After the Rapture; there will be the 7 years of Tribulation, or judgment in earth; then, the Lord will return and there will be a new heaven and a new earth.  So, to "Get Ready" is all inclusive of Glory, power, and wonder for the child of God.  It's easy; our assignment is to make sure we are ready, and get everyone we see ready, because we need to make sure that everyone all over the world understands what we mean when we say, "Don't Get Left Behind."

New Heaven and New Earth
