RIGHTEOUS or Religious? “I seek to be RIGHTEOUS”! “[THE NAME] of the LORD is [A STRONG TOWER]: the [RIGHTEOUS RUNNETH INTO IT, AND IS SAFE]” (Proverbs 18:10).

To get to heaven to be FOREVER with the LORD God human beings must seek to be RIGHTEOUS. “For the [RIGHTEOUS] LORD [LOVETH RIGHTEOUSNESS]; his countenance doth behold the upright” (Psalm 11:7).

James, the borther of Jesus explained it best about religion said: “If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world” (James 1:26-27).

“[IN THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS LIFE]; and in the pathway thereof there is no death” (Proverbs 12:28).

“The LORD liveth, [IN TRUTH, IN JUDGMENT, AND IN RIGHTEOUSNESS]” (Jeremiah 4:2).

“The LORD is [RIGHTEOUS IN ALL HIS WAYS, AND HOLY IN ALL HIS WORKS]” (Psalm 145:17).

“[A LITTLE THAT A RIGHTEOUS MAN HATH IS BETTER THAN THE RICHES OF MANY WICKED]. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. The LORD knoweth [THE DAYS OF THE UPRIGHT: AND THEIR INHERITANCE SHALL BE FOR EVER]” (Psalm 37:16-18).

“Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from [EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING]: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD” (Psalm 106:48).

Prophecies abound for 2023! Chief among these prophecies is that JESUS is coming soon. Is JESUS COMING soon? DO NOT BE DECEIVED!

When you last had to buy or sell something were you asked for the “Mark in your right hand or forehead”? (Revelation 13:1-18).

DO NOT BE DECEIVED because the End of Years has not commenced yet (Matthew 1:21).

Before JESUS COMES the Antichrist and Satan must rule from Jerusalem in the END OF YEARS (Daniel 8:23–24) (Daniel 11:36–37) (Revelation 17:10-11)!

JESUS is very clear when he says: “[I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE ENDING], saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty” (Revelation 1:8).

“[I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA], the beginning and the [END], the first and the [LAST]” (Revelation 22:13).

In the BEGINNING of the End of Years there will be a World King who will rise to power in the spirit of Satan using peace to conquer the world; and he will reign over a One World Government from Jerusalem (Daniel 8:23–24) (Daniel 11:36–37) (Matthew 24:1-31) (Revelation 17:10-11).

DO NOT BE DECEIVED when this TIME COMES because he will be THE ANTICHRIST (Revelation 13:18)!

The prophet Daniel explained said: “[AND IN THE LATTER TIME OF THEIR KINGDOM, WHEN THE TRANSGRESSORS ARE COME TO THE FULL, A KING OF FIERCE COUNTENANCE, AND UNDERSTANDING DARK SENTENCES, SHALL STAND UP]. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people” (Daniel 8:23–24).

“And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, [AND BY PEACE SHALL DESTROY MANY]: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand” (Daniel 8:25).

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (Revelation 13:16-17).

“If any man have an ear, let him hear. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon” (Revelation 13:9, 11).

“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, ‘Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?’” (Revelation 13:4).

“And ALL THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH SHALL WORSHIP HIM, whose [NAMES ARE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE OF THE LAMB] slain from the foundation of the world. [IF ANY MAN HAVE AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR]” (Revelation 13:8-9).

GOD’S ELECT, the CHILDREN OF GOD will NOT worship the dragon or the beast because our FATHER, the LORD God and our SAVIOR, the Lord Jesus Christ are in HEAVEN!

“For ye are all the children of God by [FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS]” (Galatians 3:24).

“[THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE; BUT PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR]: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” (1 John 4:18).

We must NOT become FEARFUL of the sudden changing events around this world: wars, pestilence, earthquakes, famine and so on. Our Lord JESUS says: “[ALL THESE ARE THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS]” (Matthew 24:8).

We are in the midst of a SPIRITUAL WAR that is going to get very TUMULTUOS in this year leading to the END OF YEARS!

We must be prepared to FIGHT every day to the END. FIGHT?

The Apostle Paul said: “[FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, LAY HOLD ON ETERNAL LIFE], whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” (1 Timothy 6:12).

Therefore, let us fight “A GOOD FIGHT,” “KEEP THE FAITH”, and finish our course to the END!

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesians 6:13-17).
