DARK DAYS AHEAD The Future of America According to the Bible
updated
Based on Lam. 3:23, this song captures many powerful truths about God:
O God My Father (Mt. 6:9)
There Is No Shadow... (Js. 1:17)
Thou Changest Not (Heb. 1:12)
Thy Compassion... (Lam. 3:22)
Jeremiah sits down and looks over the smoldering ruins of his beloved Jerusalem. His voice rises into the wail of sorrow - a lament. His funeral dirge over the city of God, inspired by the Spirit of God is a message for all the people of God.
This book is a master-crafted poem with five stanzas.
Chapters 1, 2, 4, and 5 each start with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet, 22 in all.
This form of poetry, called an acrostic, is beautiful in form and powerful in communication.
Chapter 3 is the centerpiece of this poem, with three 22-verse acrostics, making it 66 verses long.
The book's theme and this middle chapter agree as Jeremiah discovers—GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS, our Great Lord!
From OTI-25 - Lamentations (960911WE)

Unquestionably the most majestic and awesome affirmation of the Divine Scriptures is in Psalm 19. As we turn there, think with me. . . how did David the shepherd boy, a man after God’s own heart, arrive at such an incredible understanding of the Word? Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. (KJV) In Hebrew hashe-mayim mesaperim-kevoth-ale The heavens are shouting the glory of their Almighty Creator God. WHEN YOU COME TO PSALM 19, GOD SAYS THE HEAVENS ARE SHOUTING THE WONDERS OF THEIR CREATOR!
As a boy, David must have chosen to focus his heart on studying God’s two great books: NATURE and SCRIPTURE. Think of this: so careful was David’s study of these two books that he compared and contrasted them. He skillfully magnifies the wondrous character and person of the Author in both!
Psalm 19 magnifies God’s Revelation of Himself.
I. In v. 1-6, through CREATION, God is revealed in a general way. (general revelation)
II. In v. 7-14, the SCRIPTURES especially reveal God. (special revelation)
One of the fantastic ways nature reveals its Almighty Creator is the majesty of an ordinary thunderstorm. David watched many as he sat long hours on lonely hills watching his flock. They were so much a part of his life that they crop up repeatedly in his and Asaph’s writing of the Psalms.
• Psalm 18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. (KJV)
• Psalm 29:3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters. (KJV)
• Psalm 77:18: The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightning lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. (KJV)
• Psalm 78:48: He gave up their cattle to the hail and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. (KJV) (This is a pretty accurate description since a thunderbolt is about 30,000 degrees Centigrade, hotter than the Sun's surface temperature).
• Psalm 81:7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah. (KJV)

Paradise Lost
Message # 1: paradise lost. Whatever happened to Paradise? There was a perfect earth with no sin when Genesis 2 ends. What a place it must have been with all of the glow of Creation unshrouded by sin. Every creature was good, every part of the universe was singing the glory of God. No groaning under the burden of sin was yet present from the creation. But then something drastic happened. What? Adam’s and Eve’s sin. Look at Genesis 3 with me.
(3:1-2) Message # 2: pride: the weakness of satan. God is in an all-out war against PRIDE this morning. He wants to stamp it out in our lives this morning. Let’s let Him give us an exam this morning and help us cure our “I” problem today! Humility is an ingredient of all spiritual blessings. Just as every sin has its roots in pride, every virtue has its roots in humility. Humility allows us to see ourselves as we are because it shows us before God as He is. Just as pride is behind every conflict we have with other people and every problem of fellowship we have with the Lord, so humility is behind every harmonious human relationship, every spiritual success, and every moment of joyous fellowship with the Lord.
(3:1-5) Message # 3: AVOIDING THE DEVIL’S TRAP. Now, to the scene of the last Adam. How unlike the 1st Adam is this last Adam.
The Devil challenged the first man. The Last Man challenged the Devil.
The Devil ruined the first Adam. The Last Adam spoiled the Devil.
The First Adam stood as the head of the race and falling, dragged the race down with him. The Last Adam stood as the Head of the new race, and being victorious, lifted that race with Him.
The 1st Adam’s work of causing death could be undone and was at the Cross. The Last Adam’s work can never be undone for He brought endless life.
The 1st Adam did the work of man. The Last Adam did the Work of God.
(3:3-5) Message # 4: the four spiritual flaws. Satan is in an all-out attack to make you and me doubt, reject, and become deafened to the voice of Jesus. We are not listening to the voice of Jesus when we think wrongly about God! Will you listen to that voice? Adam and Eve chose to not listen to God. Satan wants us to Doubt God’s Word, Doubt God’s Goodness, God’s Authority, and Doubt God’s Plan.

1. God's servants are SUBMITTING to God. Ezekiel 1:3 the word of the LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and there the hand of the LORD came upon him. (NASB); Ezekiel 1:20 Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction. And the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels. (NASB)
2. God's servants are SEEING God Ezekiel 1:22-28 Now over the heads of the living beings there was something like an expanse, like the awesome gleam of crystal, extended over their heads. 23 And under the expanse their wings were stretched out straight, one toward the other; each one also had two wings covering their bodies on the one side and on the other. 24 I also heard the sound of their wings like the sound of abundant waters as they went, like the voice of the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the sound of an army camp; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings. 25 And there came a voice from above the expanse that was over their heads; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings. 26 Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne, like lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man. 27 Then I noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something like glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him. 28 As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking. (NASB)
3. In verses 22 to 28 we have Five Absolutes about God:
• THE MAJESTY GOD IS GLORIOUS v. 22, 27 “awesome gleam of crystal . . . glowing metal . . . like fire . . . like a rainbow” all of these sights were given to Ezekiel to remind him. As Psalm 29:2, 10 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in holy array. 10 The LORD sat as King at the flood; Yes, the LORD sits as King forever. (NASB)
• THE AUTHORITY GOD IS ABSOLUTE.v. 26a “throne” seeing this throne taught Ezekiel that
• GOD IS SUPREME IN SUPERIORITY v. 26b “high up” speaks to Ezekiel. The throne of God is atop all else. Nothing is beyond it or above it. God reigns!
• THE IMAGE OF GOD IS CHRIST v. 26c “like a man” this sight God gave Ezekiel was that the. It was the reminder that our Lord Jesus Christ is as Hebrews 1:3 declares, “And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high; (NASB)”.
• THE PROMISES OF GOD ARE SURE v. 28 “like a rainbow” this reminder created by God as a sign that.

1. God's servants are SUBMITTING to God. Ezekiel 1:3 the word of the LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and there the hand of the LORD came upon him. (NASB); Ezekiel 1:20 Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction. And the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels. (NASB)
2. God's servants are SEEING God Ezekiel 1:22-28 Now over the heads of the living beings there was something like an expanse, like the awesome gleam of crystal, extended over their heads. 23 And under the expanse their wings were stretched out straight, one toward the other; each one also had two wings covering their bodies on the one side and on the other. 24 I also heard the sound of their wings like the sound of abundant waters as they went, like the voice of the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the sound of an army camp; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings. 25 And there came a voice from above the expanse that was over their heads; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings. 26 Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne, like lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man. 27 Then I noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something like glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him. 28 As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking. (NASB)
3. In verses 22 to 28 we have Five Absolutes about God:
• THE MAJESTY GOD IS GLORIOUS v. 22, 27 “awesome gleam of crystal . . . glowing metal . . . like fire . . . like a rainbow” all of these sights were given to Ezekiel to remind him. As Psalm 29:2, 10 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in holy array. 10 The LORD sat as King at the flood; Yes, the LORD sits as King forever. (NASB)
• THE AUTHORITY GOD IS ABSOLUTE.v. 26a “throne” seeing this throne taught Ezekiel that
• GOD IS SUPREME IN SUPERIORITY v. 26b “high up” speaks to Ezekiel. The throne of God is atop all else. Nothing is beyond it or above it. God reigns!
• THE IMAGE OF GOD IS CHRIST v. 26c “like a man” this sight God gave Ezekiel was that the. It was the reminder that our Lord Jesus Christ is as Hebrews 1:3 declares, “And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high; (NASB)”.
• THE PROMISES OF GOD ARE SURE v. 28 “like a rainbow” this reminder created by God as a sign that.

Do you understand THE COMPASSION OF JESUS? He wants us to know He is close. He understands all the temptations and struggles we face. He can help us overcome every fear, every flaming arrow of Satan, and every sin that so easily besets us.
Jesus loves us with a never-ending love and offers the power of His grace to so no to every sin, and yes to His every command.
The Tide of the War for the World has turned in Revelation 14.
Jesus stands on His holy hill Zion.
Beneath Zion the Beast from the Abyss empowered by Satan has crawled ashore.
On the earth death stalks all who refuse Satan and turn to Jesus.
Around Jesus on Mt. Zion stand His servants.
They stay SECURE in the face of danger for Jesus is with them.
They stay JOYFUL in the midst of desolation for Jesus is with them.
They stay PURE in a sea of filth for Jesus is with them.
They stay TRUTHFUL in a world of lies for Jesus is with them.
They stay HOPEFUL in the land of doom for Jesus is with them.
REVELATION—WE HAVE HOPE…
Lost humanity believes in evolution, reveres the Earth, and denies Biblical creationism—so God sends His 144,000 to give everyone an opportunity to hear the Gospel during the final Divine environmental destructions. God the Son, as the Creator, systematically destroys the atmosphere, the oceans, and the land—with earthquakes, smoke, fire, red tides, global warming, volcanoes, tsunamis, asteroids, comets, and meteors. Then comes Armageddon! (Revelation 14-16).
1—Life Without Jesus is Horrible: Revelation 16:1-21— Have you ever wondered what the world would be like without Jesus? Perhaps you are seeking, but haven’t found. You are considering but haven’t decided. You are looking, but haven’t placed your heart’s desire on Jesus Christ and willfully chosen to follow Him. If that is your situation, pay close attention to the sixteenth chapter of Revelation, which shows what life without Jesus Christ would be like. It is the most graphic, vivid, and powerful description of what hell will be like in the Scriptures.
This is a 20-lesson course on the final book of the Bible.
Revelation’s 404 verses contain over 800 quotations, allusions, and connections to the rest of the Bible.
These 22 chapters do not contain new doctrine, only clarification on how they will come to pass.
This is the ONLY book of the Bible Jesus came down to supervise as the conclusion of God’s Revelation. Moses went up to God to get the Pentateuch; Jesus came down to Earth on Patmos to show John what to write.

EXPECTATIONS
For ALL OF US IN 2024
God Says Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth today.
As Prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2), his silent army of demon invaders swirls through the air. Around us lurk those infernal warriors of the Kingdom of Darkness. These are not science fiction aliens.
Rather, as super strong extra-terrestrial intelligent beings, their aim is clear. Their shocking strategy is so powerful that normal humans would pale if aware of it.

Think about what we all have watched happen.
The attack by Iran upon Israel on April 14, 2024, marks the starting point of one of the most dangerous eras of Earth's history.
The Prince of Persia struck Israel (remember that God calls them My people) and Jerusalem (remember that God calls that My city).
Is this the start of World War 3?
Is WW3 the same as Armageddon?
What happens in Psalm 83?
This and much more is what we will study in this lesson I just finished teaching today.

A. purposed holiness 1:8
B. praised God for wisdom 2:19
C. points to God 2:28
D. not greedy 5:17
II. PEOPLE OF CONFIDENCE (Past and Future)
A. OUR GOD RULES Daniel 2:28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these; (KJV); Daniel 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (KJV)
B. OUR LORD CARES Daniel 3:26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came forth of the midst of the fire. (KJV)
C. OUR GOD MOVES HISTORY ALONG! Daniel 4:17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. (KJV) Daniel 4:25-26 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. 26 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule. (KJV)
III. PEOPLE OF COMMUNION (Prayer)
A. OUR LORD WANTS US TO BRING IT ALL TO HIM! Daniel 2:17-18 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: 18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

The Minoan's advanced navigation and building skills, the Egyptian's pyramid engineering, and even all those astronomical circles and amazing calculations archaeologists are constantly unearthing?
Did they have contact with alien intelligence?
Does the Bible allow for other worlds, advanced civilizations, and super-powerful aliens that can do amazing things? Yes, but the Bible classifies ALL of the life on other planets as being angelic, either rebellious to the Almighty God or loyal to Him.
Here is an explanation I use for my students to help them understand how to connect the dots.

IS THE ONLY GENERATION IN HISTORY TO SEE WHAT JESUS DESCRIBED IN MATTHEW 24
Teaching these young believers why the Early Church LOVED the Book of Revelation is a joy.
They saw everything in one place: God's Attributes were Illustrated, and Christ's Power was vividly portrayed. God wanted His Church to know the plan, so He sent it as the conclusion to the Bible. That is what we have today.
Open with me to the only book exclusively devoted to introducing us to what our Master and Savior Jesus is doing RIGHT NOW: the last book of the Bible, the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
Have you paused yet today to check in with Jesus Christ? The best way to do that is through your Bible because Jesus Christ is revealed to us as the Word of God. He is the Word, and the Word reveals Him. Each time we open God’s Word, we can hear His Voice.
At Creation, God the Son, the Creator, spoke and made all things, and through His Apostles and Prophets, His Word has been given.
As you open the last book of your Bible, you are entering the climactic conclusion of God's Word written down for us.
The first word in the Greek New Testament text of Revelation is the word apocalupsis, which can be translated as either “revelation” or “unveiling”. The next two words are Jesus Christ. That means in this last book, we are:
Getting to See The Real Jesus: So we are opened to the “revelation of Jesus Christ”, or the “taking the cover off of Jesus Christ”, or the “disclosure of Jesus Christ”, or the “manifestation of Jesus Christ”, or the “unveiling of Jesus Christ” the Word of God. There is so much to think about as we open to these Last Words of Christ, God's Word.
Revelation completes God’s revelation of Himself to humanity through Christ.
In Genesis, the Creator, God the Son, walks and talks with Adam and Eve, the first two humans to ever exist, created at God's hand. But God does not stay walking and talking to them. Because they sinned, He banished them from the Paradise He made for them. Thus began all the sorrows and woes that have plagued humanity for thousands of years.
But in the book of Revelation, the Creator explains that He is back, actively walking on Earth again, among His people.
The Book of Revelation explains that God the Son, Jesus Christ the Creator, is on the ground guiding His Church to accomplish His purposes in the world.
Much like a coach on the floor with his team, Jesus Christ walks around and watches us play the positions He gave us. That is perhaps the most arresting truth in all the Bible for us. We are not alone. The Coach Himself, our Creator, wants to help us accomplish what He desires.
(FHA-20; 110814)

A God in Heaven Who Rules should cause each of us to be:
I. PEOPLE OF CHARACTER/CONVICTION (Holiness)
A. purposed holiness 1:8
B. praised God for wisdom 2:19
C. points to God 2:28
D. not greedy 5:17
II. PEOPLE OF CONFIDENCE (Past and Future)
A. OUR GOD RULES Daniel 2:28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these; (KJV); Daniel 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (KJV)
B. OUR LORD CARES Daniel 3:26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came forth of the midst of the fire. (KJV)
C. OUR GOD MOVES HISTORY ALONG! Daniel 4:17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. (KJV) Daniel 4:25-26 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. 26 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule. (KJV)
III. PEOPLE OF COMMUNION (Prayer)
A. OUR LORD WANTS US TO BRING IT ALL TO HIM! Daniel 2:17-18 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: 18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. (KJV)

Are you assured of eternal life?
Who is really going to Heaven?
Those may well be the most urgent question of our earthly existence.
We live in a religious world that is, by and large, made up of multitudes who are either unconcerned or misguided as to their eternal soul.
The only guidebook to Heaven is God’s Word.
The only Guide is God’s Son, who died on the Roman Cross as a Sacrificial Substitute for sin.

Who Can be Saved During the Tribulation & How?
What Lessons Can Believers Today Get from the Tribulation Coming?
The Seven-Year Tribulation: Who Goes Through it & Why?
1. Israel because it is the time of Jacob’s troubles.
Jeremiah 30:7 (NKJV) Alas! For that day is great, So that none is like it; And it is the time of Jacob’s trouble, But he shall be saved out of it. [Note also Jeremiah 31].
2. The whole world.
Daniel 7:23 (NKJV) “Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, Which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, trample it and break it in pieces.
Luke 21:35 (NKJV) For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Revelation 13:7 (NKJV) It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.
Who Can be Saved During the Tribulation & How?
1. Anyone who calls on the Lord
Joel 2:32
New King James Version (NKJV)
32 And it shall come to pass
That whoever calls on the name of the LORD
Shall be saved.
For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance,
As the LORD has said,
Among the remnant whom the LORD calls.
Romans 10:13
New King James Version (NKJV)
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”
2. Those who receive the love of truth
2 Thessalonians 2:10 (NKJV) and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
3. Those who are not deceived and do not take the mark of the Beast.
Revelation 14:9-11 (NKJV) Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
Revelation 20:4 (NKJV) And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

More People are Thinking About Nuclear War than ANY TIME in History!
Jesus Gave A Simple Map:
Jesus offers us a map of the future that is flawlessly accurate and a guide for us to understand history—past, present, and future. When God Almighty who rules from Heaven over all the affairs of mankind, gave Daniel a snapshot of all the ages left for mankind, God says this is all there will be to the end.

One of the Most Astounding Biblical Prophecies—A person is named in v. 1 as Cyrus.
Cyrus is an identifiable person in history, mentioned also in II Chronicles 36, Ezra 1-4, and Daniel 1-10. Cyrus ruled Persia from 559 to 530 BC. There is nothing extraordinary so far, except when you look back at when Isaiah wrote this chapter.
For the biblical facts, look at Isaiah 6. When did Isaiah start writing? “The year that King Uzziah died”. When was that? 739BC. That date happens to be exactly 200 years BEFORE Cyrus was the King that Ezra & Daniel are writing about.
Let me give you a modern equivalent to help that event sink in. Russia recently elected a man named Vladimir Putin to be the next President of Russia. On March 18, 2024, Putin won the presidential elections of Russia. That is just a fact of history.
But, for a well-known and recognized servant of God to have publically predicted that momentous event in writing 200 years ago would be astounding.
Three very well-known and godly men lived 200 years ago. Most of us in this place have heard of one or more. They are pioneer missionaries to India William Carey, American missionary Adoniram Judson, and famed orphanage founder and man of faith George Muller of Bristol, England. So, all three of those servants of God were alive 200 years ago.
What you are reading in Isaiah 45 about Cyrus being in power would be the historical equivalent of one of those three missionaries writing, publishing, and distributing the world over--that a man by the name of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin would become the President of Russia, in the future.
Only God would know such a thing. Only God could know who will rule on Earth and when. Only God's Word has historical facts prophetically revealed hundreds and even thousands of years before they happen.
In God’s Word, we hold history written in advance, called Biblical Prophecy.

The period described in the opening prophecy was one of famine and suffering because an enormous hoard of insects had eaten much of the vegetation. The distress in Judah because of this judgment is seen as a foreshadowing of greater distress in a coming day of greater judgment. That yet future period is described as "the day of Jehovah".
This phrase may be considered as the theme of the book. "The day of Jehovah" is the time of God's judgment upon the earth in connection with the second coming of Christ.
Man has always seemed to be on the winning side in this world. He prospers, gains, and is almost unchallenged by God. Amid the temporary triumph of evil in Judah, 28 long centuries ago, God speaks during the usurpation of Athaliah. As this woman of wickedness seizes the throne of Judah, a lone voice is raised: Joel the prophet.
The prophecies of God's oracle Joel are so foundational to the entire prophetic Panorama that to understand them is to start to comprehend the whole of God's plan for the Ages. Truly the Day of the Lord, portrayed in this short prophetic oracle's revelation through God's Spirit, is a day that is to be heeded.
God clearly demonstrates the need for repentance and the physical disaster that must follow moral disintegration.
Three times God uses Locusts as a vehicle of judgment. Each is a plague of horrible proportions.
1. In Exodus 10:4, 12-14, and 19, Moses unleashes an 8th plague -locusts that HORRIBLY DEVOUR.
2. In Joel 1 and 2 God sends a plague of locusts that HORRIBLY DESTROY.
3. In Revelation 9:3 and 7, the 5th trumpet sounds the release of HORRIBLE DEMONIC HORDES like locusts from the Abyss

The distress in Judah because of this judgment is seen as a foreshadowing of greater distress in a coming day of greater judgment. That yet future period is described as "the day of Jehovah".
This phrase may be considered as the theme of the book. "The day of Jehovah" is the time of God's judgment upon the earth in connection with the second coming of Christ.
Man has always seemed to be on the winning side in this world. He prospers, gains, and is almost unchallenged by God. Amid the temporary triumph of evil in Judah, 28 long centuries ago, God speaks during the usurpation of Athaliah. As this woman of wickedness seizes the throne of Judah, a lone voice is raised: Joel the prophet.
The prophecies of God's oracle Joel are so foundational to the entire prophetic Panorama that to understand them is to start to comprehend the whole of God's plan for the Ages. Truly the Day of the Lord, portrayed in this short prophetic oracle's revelation through God's Spirit, is a day that is to be heeded.
God clearly demonstrates the need for repentance and the physical disaster that must follow moral disintegration.
Three times God uses Locusts as a vehicle of judgment. Each is a plague of horrible proportions.
1. In Exodus 10:4, 12-14, and 19, Moses unleashes an 8th plague -locusts that HORRIBLY DEVOUR.
2. In Joel 1 and 2 God sends a plague of locusts that HORRIBLY DESTROY.
3. In Revelation 9:3 and 7, the 5th trumpet sounds the release of HORRIBLE DEMONIC HORDES like locusts from the Abyss

Most Americans die at about 75 years old.
Are you halfway or more through an average lifetime yet?
How much of last week was deposited in Heaven?
How much of your time and energy were used by the Lord for His purposes and for His glory?
We deposit money in the bank of Heaven by allowing God to control our time, talents, attitudes, and actions.
His control produces fruit.
That control is called walking in the Spirit or abiding in Christ.
Abiding is a choice we make.
God commands us to abide twice in John 15.
We make daily, hourly, and moment-by-moment choices whether or not to obey.
Fruit is when we grab moments flowing past in that 60–minute–per–hour river we live with, and in the power of God, we use them for His glory.
Then we have something left from those evaporating drops of time that God says we can redeem and deposit into the Bank of Heaven.
So, how is your account in Heaven?
Do you have a plan to make regular and systematic deposits?
This morning, as we look again at Jesus' call to us to abide in Him throughout our lifetime on earth, I want to consider a new angle.
How are those of us past the halfway point of life, those of us on the other side of the hill – how are we doing?
While we are on this earth we can store up treasures in Heaven.
But what does that mean?
Can we lose these treasures?
What does the Bible tell us to do?

I. JESUS BELIEVED THE SCRIPTURES- Jesus taught, acted, and instructed on the basis that this Book he taught from that he quoted and studied was true. He often said, “Search the Scriptures,” and “have you not read”
A. Who said that?
1. The One Who Created all things Genesis 1:1 and in John 1 it says: In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God- the same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him- that’s Christ- so the creator of the universe is the One that said that this Book is to be trusted. He’s also-
2. The One Who Stilled Raging Seas Mark 4:39 Now there aren’t many people that talk to the water- that talk to raging storms. But when the creator does they listen. And the One who not only made all things but controls the physical universe that we know- said that this Book you can trust.
3. The One Who Quelled the terror of disease also said that you can trust this Book- Mark 5:34 And she had been bleeding for years and was near death. He quelled the ravages of disease and the One who made everything from nothing and the One who controls every thing and the One who can even speak and disease responds- believed this Book. So if you believe this Book you’re in good company. I’d rather be with God because you and God make a majority.
4. The One Who Halted the grip of death is the One who believed this Book- it says in Luke 8:48-56: You know there are a lot of faith healers in the world- do very many of them go to the morgue and take lifeless, cold corpses by the hand and lift them up and see life course back into their bodies? That’s what Jesus did and Jesus believed this Book and that’s what his apostles did and as we’ll see in a moment they believed this Book.
5. The One Who Calmed fearful hearts- John 6:19-20: So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, -they were 1/3 of the way out into the Sea of Galilee and the storm was so big that the water was tormented- in other words it was going in every direction and just foaming- it was such a violent storm and it was coming into the boat and sinking them- and they were trying their hardest and they weren’t getting anywhere and out of the corner of their eye- they see Jesus walking on the sea, - on a mirror calmness- I mean that would make the hair stand up on the back of our necks- I’ve never seen anybody walk on water. I have seen in my mind through faith- but have never experienced it- and you can see every footstep He put down- just calmed the raging sea- they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. –and that’s lightly speaking- it says they were out of their minds- I mean worse than having a storm outside is to have someone walking on the water and have them get into your boat and it scared them- 20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. (KJV) what’s neat is where ever you are and whatever storm and whatever boat you’re in that’s sinking if you just let Jesus in your boat you don’t have to be afraid. Now sometimes he calms the storm, sometimes he just takes you through the storm but the One who can calm troubled hearts believed this Book.

and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many. (Matthew 27:52–53)
The sixth miracle at the crucifixion was closely related to the previous one, as the supernatural earthquake not only gave the world a foretaste of divine judgment but also caused many tombs to be opened.
The significant miracle of that event, however, was not the mere opening of tombs, as could occur during any earthquake. The great miracle was that many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. After the veil of the Temple was torn in two and the earth around Jerusalem was violently shaken, the Lord selectively raised the bodies of certain believers who had died.
Matthew points out that many, but not all, bodies of the saints who had died were resurrected, making clear that this resurrection was divinely restricted to a limited number of believers. They had trusted in God during the time before and under the Old Covenant, and some of those bodies may have been in their graves many hundreds of years. When Jesus died, their spirits came from the abode of righteous spirits and were joined with their glorified bodies that came out of the graves. This was full and final resurrection and glorification, making this miracle another foretaste of God’s sovereign work during the end times, when “all the dead in Christ shall rise” (1 Thess. 4:16).
It is important to note that the phrase and coming out of the tombs should be followed by a period, indicating the close of the sentence. After His resurrection begins a new sentence and introduces a distinct truth, namely, that those select resurrected saints then entered the holy city and appeared to many.
Those saints did not appear in Jerusalem until after the Lord’s own resurrection, because He was divinely appointed to be “the first fruits of those who are asleep” (1 Cor. 15:20). And just as Christ Himself appeared after His resurrection only to those who already believed in Him, it would also seem that the many to whom the resurrected saints appeared were all believers. We are not told what they said to their brethren in the holy city, but their appearance in bodily form not only testified to Christ’s resurrection but also to God’s promise to raise all those who put their trust in Christ (1 Cor. 15:22, 51–53).
Through those six miracles the Father was saying that the cross is the only hope for eternal life. When one’s sin is carried away by Christ’s atoning death, the wrath of God is appeased for that believer, and he is delivered from the death and condemnation that the Lord endured on his behalf. For those who believe in the Son, access to God is open wide, and they are assured of living in His eternal and indestructible kingdom in eternal and indestructible bodies.[1]

One man, the Beast of Rev. 13, makes a peace treaty that keeps Israel & the Arab/Muslim world at peace for 3 ½ years.
Look back at v. 27. But to close, look at what this amazing politician and peace-maker does in Rev. 13:16-17 (NKJV):
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
So it gets so bad that you take the mark, get signed by the Beast as under his ownership, or die. Life and death are in his hands.
Fear will be so great most of the world will bow, and let him sign them as belonging to him. Souls signed by the devil are irrecoverable as it says in Rev 13. So what is the use, he is so bad, so powerful, so unstoppable. What can stand against him?
There is just one thing, and it is just as powerful today as it will be then: the signature of God.
The ONLY Protection from Satan is The Signature of God

Evolution is the Satanic religion of the Fall, Cain, Babel, idolatry, paganism, humanism and all other evils. Even the Darwinism of Evolution has been proven in a legal setting to be devoid of scientific support. As Dr. Phillip Johnson says in his book Darwinism on Trial, “at every step I, what I found was a failure of the evidence to be in accord with the theory. . . the fossil record is something the Darwinists must explain away because it records the sudden appearance of organisms that exhibit no trace of step-by-step development from earlier forms. And once these organisms exist, they remain fundamentally unchanged . . . “
The Gap Theory destroys Adam’s original sin. Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because all sinned -- (NKJV) It puts him at the head of a creation that sits atop a multi-billion-year-old graveyard of fossils. This monument to sin, death and destruction before Adam is incongruous to the Word of God.
The Age Day Theory destroys the reliability of the text. It is repeatedly stated and believed by the Scripture writers that the account of Gen 1 is true. The age Day Theory states the sun had to come before the fourth epoch. So the scriptures can’t be trusted.
So what should we trust about the CREATOR we meet in the book of Genesis?

GROUNDING THE NEXT GENERATION IN THE BOOK THEY CAN TRUST!
We finished our six weeks of teaching courses here along the Pacific Rim and are rejoicing in response to this course on BIBLIOLOGY. We covered the seven reasons God's Word can be trusted. Please pray for many deeply impacted lives.
What is the simplest and yet most profound evidence the Bible offers? Fulfilled Biblical prophecy. What an irrefutable verification reserved to the Judeo-Christian Scriptures alone. Prophecy is the missing element in all other sacred scriptures of the world's religions, It is not to be found in them, by contrast, prophecy comprises about one-third of the Scriptures!
When we say PROPHECY, we mean detailed, specific descriptions of future events.
• Not a few, hundreds.
• Not close calls, fulfilled to the letter.
• Not historical accounts as they unfolded, but prophesies written centuries before they took place.
Because of God's undeniable verification of history, may I impress upon your heart that the book you hold is unlike any other in the Universe? And with that truth deeply upon our hearts, in the days ahead, shouldn’t we treat it differently, read it diligently, wait before it expectantly, and learn to live triumphantly from it?
Last week, we learned about the PROPHECIES OF JESUS CHRIST. The Scriptures contain more than 300 specific prophecies about our Lord Jesus Christ.
But this week, let's look at FIVE EVENTS GOD DIRECTED AND FORETOLD THAT CHANGED THE COURSE OF THE WORLD!
God writes history in advance. To get a frame of reference, imagine that in 1700, somewhere in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, an unknown religious writer wrote about a future ruler. This Ruler was to
• would come to power in Europe
• would take control of a land called Germany [in 1700, it was called Prussia]
• would be named Adolph Hitler
• would conquer the continent
• and would be defeated by the Allied Forces
Now notice the year was 1700, and there were no
• Allied Forces, America was a Colony of Britain
• There was barely a Germany
• and Hitler was not to be born for 200 years!
Now, turn to Isaiah 41 to see why this description is so important. This is another demonstration of God's power as shown through His Word.
Isaiah 41:21 "Present your case," says the LORD. "Bring forth your strong [reasons,"] says the King of Jacob. (NKJV)
Now look at Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever." (NKJV)
God has staked His very character on the perfection and permanence of His Word! Look at His character revealed in v. 12-31. So God declared that:
1. Because Idols are foolish Isaiah 40:18 To whom will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to Him? (NKJV)
2. Because God is eternal and powerful Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades, but our God's word stands forever." (NKJV)
3. Let me show you My power Isaiah 41:21-23 "Present your case," says the LORD. "Bring forth your strong [reasons,"] says the King of Jacob. 22 "Let them bring forth and show us what will happen; Let them show the former things, what they [were,] That we may consider them, And know the latter end of them; Or declare to us things to come. 23 Show the things that are to come hereafter, That we may know that you [are] gods; Yes, do good or do evil, That we may be dismayed and see [it] together. (NKJV)
Declaring the future with precise details is proof of God and His Divine Power! Now, let's examine some of those precise details about the future He has written down for us.

Prophecy points us to Christ, the author of history and the theme of Scripture.
God's Word is, at its very center, prophetic.
The God who recorded the beginning that no one but Him witnessed in Genesis is also the God who recorded the ending that no one but Him could have ever written in Revelation.
Isn’t it amazing that God devotes 1/4th or 25% of the Bible to the inseparable union of the world’s destiny with God’s Chosen People of Promise, Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jews? Always remember: THE CENTRALITY OF ISRAEL IN THE BIBLE.
Using just an ordinary Bible with no study notes (my Bible is 1100 pages long), you find that:
600 pages (Genesis to Song of Solomon) are Israel’s origin, history, wanderings away from God, and worship (that is 600/1100 pages or) 54%; and
250 pages are devoted to the prophets (Isaiah to Malachi) that speak of the doom coming first to Israel then and the world in the future (that is 250/1100 pages or) 23%; and then we get:
-110 pages devoted to the Life of Christ (Matthew to John) that lasts for (110/1100 pages or) -10% of the Bible; and then
-120 pages devoted to the record of Acts to Jude that explains Christ's Church’s birth and mission for 120/1100 pages or 11%; and then the
-20 pages of Revelation describing the centrality of Israel and Jerusalem at the end of the world take up almost (20/1100 pages or) 2% of the Bible.
So, just a simple glance at the Table of Contents of God's Word would make a reader conclude that Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jews are very important to God.
Also, just the layout of the Bible that opens and closes with Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jews with the Church’s 21 % of the Word sandwiched importantly, but intentionally between the opening and closing.
God, who engineered the Scriptures, has chosen to devote fully (4/5ths or) 79% of the Bible to Israel’s origin, calling, chastisement, return, and future troubles that engulf the world.
Each time the Old Testament prophets explained the future, they universally began with Israel, and all details revolved around Jerusalem and the Land.
Each time Jesus explained how the world would end, he started with Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jewish people (Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21).
Each time Paul explained how the world would end, it began with Israel, and all details revolved around Jerusalem in Romans 9-11, 1 & 2 Thessalonians (II Th. 2:4).
Each time John explained how the world would end, he began with Israel, and all details revolved around Jerusalem in Revelation 11, 13, 16, and 19.
Israel is the 3rd largest topic in the Bible.

Returning with the faithful remnant, which numbered 42,360 individuals under Zerubbabel, he joined those who came to restore the Temple worship of the Lord. His ministry dates to the second year of the King of Persia, Darius Hystapses (521-520 BC). This dates his ministry to two months after Haggai stood at the ruins of the Temple and preached his first prophetic sermon.
Just as Haggai, God burdened Zechariah for the neglected repair of the Temple. However, God extends his prophetic view far beyond the Jews of his day. God sends him on a prophetic voyage to the end of redemptive history. He is given such detailed insights surrounding the events of the coming Messiah, the Tribulation, the Golden Millennial Age of Israel, and the Reign of Christ that bible teachers of the magnitude of Martin Luther would not even write on some parts of this book. They just couldn’t figure it out. Of course, they believed God was through with the Jews, and all of this had to be describing the church . . .
Four Sweeping Truths from Zechariah
To maximize our learning, we may begin by gleaning four broad applications from this great Old Testament prophet:
1. SIN WILL BRING GOD'S JUDGMENT. Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. (NKJV)
2. GOD'S PAST DEALINGS WITH SIN SHOULD CAUSE US TO TURN FROM SIN. Matthew 12:41 "The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah [is] here. (NKJV)
3. TURNING FROM SIN BRINGS BLESSING. Look at Zechariah 1:3 "Therefore say to them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Return to Me," says the LORD of hosts, "and I will return to you," says the LORD of hosts. (NKJV). Even the most wicked (Ahab) found mercy in turning. Even the wicked Manasseh was forgiven (II Chr. 33:9-13).
4. GOD LIKE HIS WORD CAN NEVER BE EVADED FOR LONG! See what God said in Zechariah 1:6 Yet surely My words and My statutes, Which I commanded My servants the prophets, Did they not overtake your fathers? "So they returned and said: 'Just as the LORD of hosts determined to do to us, According to our ways and according to our deeds, So He has dealt with us.' " ' " (NKJV)

So much of our time is so easily wasted.
But Jesus wants us to understand how to REDEEM our TIME.
So, Jesus introduces us to EARTH'S FINAL DAY. Then He asks us to LIVE LIKE WE BELIEVE HIM!
Time is marching unstoppably toward the end--the end of the world, the end of life, the end of days.
As we open to Luke 21, we are opening the door to the future and peering at the end of the world through the eyes of the Creator Himself, the Judge of all, and the One who will signal the end of days. With the end in sight, what does Jesus say we should be motivated to do? He tells us at the end of His sermon. He warns us that we can get mesmerized by life, hypnotized by time, and forget what we are here to do.
Each Year’s Final Day: Have you ever noticed the curious difference in time on New Year's Eve?
Almost every other day of the year, time seems the same. But that night, it is brought home to us that time is moving. Usually, we use our watches to check our movement. We check our watches to be sure we get here or there at the right time. And it is us who think about moving.
But on New Year’s Eve, we watch as time moves inexorably into another year. As Ray Steadman said, “. . . on New Year's Eve . . . we can almost hear the stream of time beginning to murmur as it drops over the dam of that strange midnight hour. We become aware that we are not living an endless repetitive cycle, but we are moving on a straight line of time, and we can never retrace it."
Life and time are so much reflected by how we look at our watch or clock. We check to see how long before something happens or to ensure we arrive somewhere on time. Often, the circle of a clock’s face makes us think time repeats itself repeatedly. We have noon today, noon tomorrow, and noon next week. We imagine that if we don’t get something done, it will be okay because we will have another similar time tomorrow. The illusion of time being circular and coming around each day makes us miss the fact that time is going by irretrievably! What we have done, said, and been--is irrevocably done and unchangeably a part of our life. Our steps can’t be retraced. Our mistakes can not be undone. We can’t add what we have missed, we can’t erase what we have done. It is final. Time is linear and unstoppable. We are headed to the end of not only our earthly days, but towards earth’s final days.

That magnificent Phoenician city on the coast of Palestine was leveled to the dust by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C. in one of history's most spectacular battles.”
Tyre was the proudest and most prosperous city on earth when Ezekiel wrote chapters 26 and 28 - the emporium of the world, its markets bulging with gold and precious stones from Ethiopia and Arabia, silver from Spain, tin from Britain, emeralds from Damascus, ivory from the East, and wheat, honey, and oil from Palestine.
What is the simplest and yet most profound evidence the Bible offers? Fulfilled Biblical prophecy. What an irrefutable verification reserved to the Judeo-Christian Scriptures alone.
Prophecy is the missing element in all other sacred scriptures of the world's religions, It is not to be found in them, by contrast, prophecy comprises about one-third of the Scriptures! When we say PROPHECY we mean detailed, specific descriptions of future events.

What is the simplest and yet most profound evidence the Bible offers? It is prophecy fulfilled, an irrefutable verification reserved to the Judeo-Christian Scriptures alone. Prophecy is the missing element in all other sacred scriptures of the world's religions. It is not to be found in the Koran, the Hindu Vedas, or the Bhagavad Gita. The Book of Mormon, the sayings of Buddha, and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy (Christian Science). By contrast, prophecy comprises about one-third of the Scriptures! Isaiah 41:21: " Present your case," says the LORD. "Bring forth your strong [reasons,"] says the King of Jacob. (NKJV)
Wilbur Smith (The Incomparable Book, Beacon Publications), a man who has read several thousand books, concludes that "whatever one may think of the authority of and the message presented in the book we call the Bible, there is worldwide agreement that in more ways than one it is the most remarkable volume that has ever been produced in these some five thousand years of writing on the part of the human race "it is the only volume ever produced by man, or a group of men in which is to be found a large body of prophecies relating to individual nations, to Israel, to all the peoples of the earth, to certain cities, and to the coming of One who was to be the Messiah.
The ancient world had many different devices for determining the future, known as divination, but not in Greek and Latin literature. Even though they use the words prophet and prophecy, can we find any real specific prophecy of a great historic event to come in the distant future, nor any prophecy of a Savior to arise in the human race......... Neither can the founders of any cult in this country rightly identify any ancient text explicitly foretelling their appearance."
When we say PROPHECY, we mean detailed, specific descriptions of future events.
• Not a few, hundreds.
• Not close calls fulfilled to the letter.
• Not historical accounts as they unfolded, but prophesies written centuries before they took place.
Because of God's undeniable verification of history, may I impress upon your heart that the book you hold is unlike any other in the Universe? And with that truth deeply upon our hearts, in the days ahead, shouldn’t we treat it differently, read it diligently, wait before it expectantly, and from it learn to live triumphantly?

About 2000 B.C., God called Abraham away from all the idolatry of Babylon. Abram lived in the Ur of the Chaldees. Babylon was also known as the realm of the Chaldeans. Abram was an idolator. He worshipped the images of the gods of his land. God saved him from that idol worship. Listen to Joshua:
Joshua 24:2-3 (NKJV) And Joshua Said To All The People, “Thus Says The Lord God Of Israel: ‘Your Fathers, Including Terah, The Father Of Abraham And The Father Of Nahor, Dwelt On The Other Side Of The River In Old Times; And They Served Other Gods. 3 Then I Took Your Father Abraham From The Other Side Of The River, Led Him Throughout All The Land Of Canaan, And Multiplied His Descendants And Gave Him Isaac.
When God saved Abram from idols, God led him into the Promised Land and gave him the nation of Israel as his descendant. But a thousand years later, in the ninth century B. C., Israel had returned to the same idol worship Abraham had been saved from, under the influence of wicked Jezebel (see 1 Kings 16:30-33). At this time, the cult was worshiped under the name Baal.
By the time of the prophet Jeremiah, the idolatrous worship of Babylon’s religion, Abraham was saved from, permeated the nation of Israel. Please turn with me to Jeremiah 44.
Jeremiah 44: The Queen of Heaven’s
Idolatrous Religion
The words “Queen of Heaven” are found in five verses in the Bible (Jeremiah 7:18; 44:17-19, 25).
In Jeremiah, we are introduced to this whole idolatrous form of worship.
Do you know where the Queen of Heaven came from? It came right out of Egyptian idolatry, Isis and Osiris. It has nothing to do with the New Testament at all. And if you have ever heard that Roman Catholics say the Queen of Heaven is Mary and wondered where that came from—look at these words in Ezekiel 8:12-16.
The prophet Ezekiel is taken by God into the temple, the house of God, and he sees that there are idols there, and God is very unhappy. And to see what is offending God so greatly, he’s shown this scene:
There it is, the idolatry of Babel exported to Israel: the worship of the virgin goddess in Jeremiah 44 and the worship of her son as they wept the 40 days awaiting his resurrection in Ezekiel 8.
Semiramis, Lent
& Romanism
Let me give you some interesting details from a book entitled, “The Two Babylons” by Alexander Hislop. The worship of Semiramis throughout history has often had these elements:
• Semiramis was called the Queen of Heaven;
• Semiramis was worshipped by the offering of a wafer or cake;
• Semiramis began the practice of 40 days of weeping over Tammuz before the feast of celebrating his resurrection.
• These mystery cults around Semiramis also had purgatory, which they taught, believed, and adhered to.
The worship of Mary as the Queen of Heaven and the 40 days of Lent for her Son has no basis in Scripture but instead developed from the pagan celebration of Semiramis’s mourning for forty days over the death of Tammuz before his alleged resurrection—another of Satan’s mythical counterfeits.
Most of those who call themselves Christians today follow a way of worship that would have offended the apostles and early saints. What do I mean?
The statues of Mary, calling her the Queen of Heaven, the images of Christ and saints, and all of them being revered with candles and incense burning before them are idolatrous.
God, through His Word, calls each of us to always be on guard and to:

Face to face -- the Most Loving Person in the Universe, who gave more than anyone could imagine, looked sadly into the eyes of a piece of His personal craftsmanship – some dirt, some water, some air.
Jesus had just supernaturally delivered a blind and mute man (in Matthew 12), and everyone was stunned at the unmistakable finger of God in their midst. And then Jesus uttered the ultimate curse.
Jesus said that day, “You will never have forgiveness – if you die in your sins!”
Think of it, the Creator Himself, the One who scooped up the dirt and shaped it into a body and then ignited that body with a soul, breathed in by the very breath of God!
That Infinite Being turned and looked at one of His creations.
Just think what He may have thought.
Just think of the inexpressible emotions Jesus must have felt. Looking at a piece of clay, only alive at His command, only existing at His will – and seeing a completely self-hardened and self-blinded soul that would die without any hope.
Exist without any recourse.
Suffer without any end.
Endure without any respite.
Scream without any response.
Burn without any end to the consuming.
No wonder that Jesus warned more of Hell than He spoke of Heaven.
In our portion of God's Word this morning --, Jesus spoke three words that are so solemn, hopeless, and devastating that they are hard to even comprehend for us who know and love Him. Jesus said: never has forgiveness.
Every day, the one truth I cling to is the gracious forgiveness of our loving Savior.
I know that however many times I fail – He forgives.
I know how every many times I fall – He restores me.
I know that however many times I sin – He cleanses, restores, and forgives.
That is so encouraging, so refreshing, so hope-filled. But Jesus said: never has forgiveness.
Those are the darkest words of all – the Endless Doom of a Soul.
Those three words have shaken many believers to the very core of their being. They have troubled many sincere Christians, dogging their steps all through life. Those words have become what we call today—the unpardonable sin. Jesus said: never has forgiveness. Those are the darkest words of all—the Endless Doom of a Soul.
• If you have ever heard of the unpardonable sin, you must listen to Jesus speak this morning.
• If you have ever wondered if you have sinned a sin that Jesus may not ever forgive – you need to hear what He has to say this morning.
• If you have ever secretly feared that you may someday face Jesus and have to answer for your sins – and you fear Him turning you away – you need to let Him speak words of comfort and assurance to your heart from His Word today.
As we open to Mark 3.20-30 we come to the place where Jesus pronounced the greatest doom of all. In verse 29, Jesus said: never has forgiveness. Those are the darkest words of all – the Endless Doom of a Soul.
• Far worse than the end of the world – is the Doom of the Soul.
• Far worse than the death of a body – is the Doom of the Soul.
• Far worse than a pain-filled life of deprivation and hardship – is the Doom of the Soul.
But this morning, side by side with the most gloomy, hopeless verse in the Bible – is the most hope-filled, comforting verse. Five words should ring in your heart if you have ever feared the grave, if you have ever feared the judgment, if you ever fear not making it to Heaven. In verse 28, Jesus said: all sins will be forgiven. Those are the brightest words of the Bible --
