E T E R N A L versus Temporal

“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for [THE THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN ARE TEMPORAL]; but [THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL]” (2 Corinthians 4:18).

“Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But [THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, WHICH ARE NOW], by the same word [ARE KEPT IN STORE, RESERVED UNTO FIRE AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGMENT AND PERDITION OF UNGODLY MEN]” (2 Peter 3:6-7).

“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which [THE HEAVENS SHALL PASS AWAY WITH A GREAT NOISE, AND THE ELEMENTS SHALL MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT, THE EARTH ALSO AND THE WORKS THAT ARE THEREIN SHALL BE BURNED UP].

Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?” (2 Peter 3:9-12).

“[NEVERTHELESS WE, ACCORDING TO HIS PROMISE, LOOK FOR NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH, WHEREIN DWELLETH RIGHTEOUSNESS]. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless” (2 Peter 3:13-14).

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, [THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN]” (Hebrews 11:1).

“[FOR SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD MEN HAVE NOT HEARD, NOR PERCEIVED BY THE EAR, NEITHER HATH THE EYE SEEN], O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him” (Isaiah 64:4).

“[NOW THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH]: but if any man draws back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But [WE ARE NOT OF THEM WHO DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION; BUT OF THEM THAT BELIEVE TO THE SAVING OF THE SOUL]” (Hebrews 10:38–39).

JESUS is COMING for the DAY OF JUDGMENT on the LAST DAY (Matthew 25:31-34, 41, 46) (Revelation 11:18, 20:11-15).

“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to [REPENT]: Because he hath [APPOINTED A DAY], in the which he will judge the world in [RIGHTEOUSNESS] by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” (Acts 17:30-31).

“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to [REPENTANCE].

[BUT THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT]; in the which [THE HEAVENS SHALL PASS AWAY WITH A GREAT NOISE, AND THE ELEMENTS SHALL MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT, THE EARTH ALSO AND THE WORKS THAT ARE THEREIN SHALL BE BURNED UP].

Seeing then that [ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE DISSOLVED], what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?” (2 Peter 3:9-12).

Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, “that man whom he hath ordained” says: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: [REPENT] ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15).

“Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise [PERISH]” (Luke 13:3).

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).

“[NO MAN CAN COME TO ME], except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the [LAST DAY]” (John 6:44).

“THEN COMETH THE END, when he shall have [DELIVERED UP THE KINGDOM TO GOD, EVEN THE FATHER]; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power” (1 Corinthians 15:24).

“And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, [IT IS DONE]” (Revelation 16:17).

THE END.

“Nevertheless we, according to his promise, [LOOK FOR NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH], wherein dwelleth [RIGHTEOUSNESS]. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless” (2 Peter 3:13-14).

Do you have an ‘EXIT STRATEGY’ for the LAST DAY?

In business an Exit Strategy is a plan put in place to protect or ‘save’ an investment in a business venture to dispose of the investment or assets in the event of a default or bankruptcy in order to exit a failing company.

Today, unfortunately, untold numbers of people are overlooking to have in place metaphorically an “EXIT STRATEGY” for the LAST DAY to protect or SAVE THEIR SOULS from being lost forever in Perdition (2 Peter 3:7) (Revelation 20:11, 14:11).

“[NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN]” (Hebrews 11:1).

“[WHILE WE LOOK NOT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN], but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but [THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL]” (2 Corinthians 4:18).

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the [LATTER TIMES SOME SHALL DEPART FROM THE FAITH], giving heed to seducing spirits, and [DOCTRINES OF DEVILS]; [SPEAKING LIES IN HYPOCRISY]; having their conscience seared with a hot iron” (1 Timothy 4:1-2); “ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Timothy 3:7).

“[NOW THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH]: but if any man draws back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But [WE ARE NOT OF THEM WHO DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION; BUT OF THEM THAT BELIEVE TO THE SAVING OF THE SOUL]” (Hebrews 10:38–39).

“The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, [TO THE SOUL THAT SEEKETH HIM]. Seek the LORD, and [YE SHALL LIVE]” (Amos 5:6).

“It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the [SALVATION] of the LORD” (Lamentation 3:26).

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the [WORD OF FAITH], which we preach; That if thou shalt [CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS], and shalt [BELIEVE IN THINE HEART THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, THOU SHALT BE SAVED]. For with the [HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS]; and with [THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION]” (Romans 10:8-10).

DAY of the LORD | DAY of CHRIST

“This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).

Every day that passes by in this earth is one day closer to the end of the world, and the return of our Lord, Savior and King Jesus (Matthew 13:37–43, 24:1-3).

“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath [APPOINTED A DAY], in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” (Acts 17:30-31).

Jesus says: “But of that [DAY AND HOUR] knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36).

“But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (Matthew 24:37).

“Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets” (Luke 6:23).

“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” (Matthew 24:42).

“NOW we beseech you, brethren, by the [COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST], and by our [GATHERING TOGETHER UNTO HIM], That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the [DAY OF CHRIST] is at hand” (2 Thessalonians 2:1-2).

REDEMPTION TO HEAVEN is at the END on the LAST DAY.

“For surely there is an [END]” (Proverbs 23:18).

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) says: “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. [I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU].

And if I go and prepare a place for you, [I WILL COME AGAIN, AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF; THAT WHERE I AM, THERE YE MAY BE ALSO].

And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Thomas saith unto him, ‘Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?’

Jesus saith unto him, ‘[I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE: NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME]’” (John 14:2-6).

“[NO MAN CAN COME TO ME], except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the [LAST DAY]” (John 6:44).

“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32).

“I am with you alway, [EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD]. Amen” (Matthew 28:20).

“[THEN COMETH THE END], when he shall have [DELIVERED UP THE KINGDOM TO GOD, EVEN THE FATHER]; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power” (1 Corinthians 15:24).

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

DAY OF JUDGMENT IS COMING!

Now, there have been persons commenting that the “rapture is coming’ but, we must ALL be more concerned that the DAY OF JUDGMENT IS COMING:

“[FOR WE MUST ALL APPEAR BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST]; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10).

Our Lord Jesus Christ says: “For many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14).

The Apostle Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles said: “Work out your own [SALVATION] with fear and trembling that ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the [DAY OF CHRIST]” (Philippians 2:12, 1:10).

“For God will not lay upon man more than [RIGHT]; that he should [ENTER INTO JUDGMENT WITH GOD]” (Job 34:23). “Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. And if ye call on the Father, [WHO WITHOUT RESPECT OF PERSONS JUDGETH ACCORDING TO EVERY MAN’S WORK], pass the time of your sojourning here in fear” (1 Peter 1:16–17).

“For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son” (John 5:22).

“To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; but unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile. But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: [FOR THERE IS NO RESPECT OF PERSONS WITH GOD]” (Romans 2:7–11).

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to [EAT OF THE TREE OF LIFE], which is in the midst of the paradise of God” (Revelation 2:7).

“And, behold, I come quickly; and [MY REWARD IS WITH ME, TO GIVE EVERY MAN ACCORDING AS HIS WORK SHALL BE]. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have [RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE], and may enter in through the gates into the city” (Revelation 22:12-14).

“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Revelation 22:20-21).

BE READY because the End of the World will be THE END (Matthew 24:36) (Revelation 11:18).

Now, many people may not find this photograph in good taste on this day but, know this fact, when that day comes, and it is coming, there will be no waiting for ANYONE who may say: “I AM NOT READY AS YET!”

There is no stopping time, pausing time or rewinding time because TIME IS COMING TO AN END.

Therefore, as insensitive as anyone may find this photograph to be on this day, let it be known that our Lord Jesus warned that his coming will be just as in the days of Noah before the great flood, and in the days of Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah.

He expressed how “they did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and [DESTROYED THEM ALL].

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and [DESTROYED THEM ALL]” (Luke 17:27–29).

“The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15).

“I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:32).

“Except ye repent, [YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH]” (Luke 13:3).

“[AND THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD] for a witness unto all nations; and [THEN SHALL THE END COME]” (Matthew 24:14).

Jesus warns, saying: “[AND TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES], lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [SO THAT DAY COME UPON YOU UNAWARES]. [FOR AS A SNARE SHALL IT COME ON ALL THEM THAT DWELL ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH].

[WATCH YE THEREFORE, AND PRAY ALWAYS, THAT YE MAY BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS THAT SHALL COME TO PASS], and to stand before the Son of man” (Luke 21:34–36). “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36).

“[THEREFORE BE YE ALSO READY: FOR IN SUCH AN HOUR AS YE THINK NOT THE SON OF MAN COMETH]” (Matthew 24:44).

Meteorite shower destroying the Liberty Statue in New York

We must NEVER get Comfortable in this world:

“For the wisdom of this world is [FOOLISHNESS] with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19).

This world of FOOLISHNESS is coming to an END (Matthew 24:36) (Revelation 11:18).

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world” (1 John 2:15).

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:2).

“If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And [THE WORLD PASSETH AWAY], and the lust thereof: but [HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF GOD ABIDETH FOREVER]” (1 John 2:15–17).

“[TAKE HEED, BRETHREN], lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of [OUR CONFIDENCE STEDFAST UNTO THE END]” (Hebrews 3:12-14).

“[WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION] with fear and trembling that ye may approve things that are excellent; [THAT YE MAY BE SINCERE AND WITHOUT OFFENCE TILL THE DAY OF CHRIST]” (Philippians 2:12, 1:10).

SIGNS in the heaven before the coming of JESUS CHRIST.

On the day and night, only God knows (Matthew 24:36) when heaven opens up to reveal a sign of Jesus (Matthew 24:30): “[THE SUN SHALL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS, AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD], before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come” (Joel 2:31).

“And there shall be [SIGNS IN THE SUN, AND IN THE MOON, AND IN THE STARS]; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory” (Luke 21:25-27).

In the Revelation of Jesus Christ by John, as it is written:

“And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a [GREAT EARTHQUAKE]; and [THE SUN BECAME BLACK AS SACKCLOTH OF HAIR, AND THE MOON BECAME AS BLOOD];

And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to [STAND]?” (Revelation 6:12-17).

“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: [FOR IN MOUNT ZION AND IN JERUSALEM SHALL BE DELIVERANCE], as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call” (Joel 2:32).

“Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be [ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE] all these things that shall come to pass, and to [STAND] before the Son of man” (Luke 21:36).

“[BE PATIENT THEREFORE, BRETHREN, UNTO THE COMING OF THE LORD]. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh” (James 5:7, 8).

“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling that ye may approve things that are excellent; that [YE MAY BE SINCERE AND WITHOUT OFFENCE TILL THE DAY OF CHRIST]” (Philippians 2:12, 1:10).

Have you made the RIGHT CHOICE FOR JESUS (John 3:16-18)?

“[HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE]: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (John 3:36).

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) says: “Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have [ETERNAL LIFE]: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life” (John 5:39–40).

“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: [REPENT] ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15).

“Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3).

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:14).

“[I AM HE THAT LIVETH, AND WAS DEAD; AND, BEHOLD, I AM ALIVE FOR EVERMORE], Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Revelation 1:18).
