The Holy Bible says that the Messiah would come like a thief in the night - no one would know that he had been in the house. The miraculous signs of biblical proportions just occurred and no one on earth noticed.
God said through the Prophet Isaiah that the Messiah would be accompanied by large rocks of hail, (the breaking off of 30% of the Arctic Icecap and the melting of the Greenland Icecap and the Antarctic Iceberg) and a great Hurricane and a great deluge and flood of mighty overflowing waters (Hurricane Katrina and the Indian Ocean Tsunami). These were the 4 signs of the arrival of the Messiah, North, South, East and West. (Isaiah 28:1-17).
God in the Holy Bible refers to the 2 tablets put together, which he carved in stone Himself on Mount Sinai 3,200 years ago, his contract, covenant with Levi, aka Moses, a wall, a levee, to protect mankind. God in his great wrath said that the Bible Writers, the scribes, had spewed their own deadly venom all over His Word, the 10 commandments. (Matthew 23). God said that the Bible Writers had painted over His Word, his 10 commandments, with their own whitewash, thereby covering up His Word, our map to creating paradise on earth forever ourselves, so that the people could not see it. God promised that in his tremendous wrath he would create a tremendous flood, great hailstones, and a great Hurricane (Katrina) to break down this man made contaminated levee, and God vowed to kill the people responsible for this, and the people behind the wall. God said that then, the people of earth would understand the great power of God and His Word carved by Him in stone, and the danger and the weakness of the contaminated man made levee of whitewash. (Ezekiel 13:1-22).
God vowed to rebuild the Holy Temple. “And it shall come to pass in the last days, (we just saw the signs) that the mountain of the Lord’s House (Temple) shall be firmly established as the head of all the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; (in cyberspace by satellites) and All the nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Temple of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of HIS ways, (the 10 commandments) and we shall walk in HIS paths and in the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He will judge among the nations, and will settle the arguments of many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation will not lift sword against nation and they will no longer study warfare. O House of Jacob: come let us walk by the light of God!” (Isaiah 2:1-5). God, the Messiah, lives in us all. (Psalm 82:6). By definition, all of us united as One can create World Peace overnight at the United Nations, if we so choose to do.
The Temple of Love - The World Peace Religion makes peace among and unites Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Everyone else and the countries they all live in by tying them together with their common threads and resolving all of their differences once and for all, following the blueprint laid out by God of Mount Sinai through every single Biblical Prophet.

“And for the next four and a half hours, I felt my son thrash around violently while he was being choked, poisoned, burned and suffocated to death. I didn’t know any of that was going to happen. And I remember talking to him and I remember telling him I didn’t want to do this, and I wished he could live and that his mommy loved him and that I was sorry. I prayed that he understood and that someday, he would learn to forgive me, if he could! And yet he was dying and there was nothing I could do to save him. I remember my son’s very last kick. He had no strength left to fight.” (From a letter by the Ohio Right To Life Society)
The thoughts of a mother as she experiences the brutal and gruesome saline abortion of her son can only begin to show the agony of abortion. This mother was having second thoughts, but she was helpless to stop the killing. The anguish she must have felt was tremendous. But can you imagine the pain that her son was going through? He was literally being scalded to death. This letter from the Ohio Right To Life Society continues, “In a saline abortion, a concentrated salt solution is injected into the sac of fluid that surrounds and protects the baby. The mother can feel the baby thrash about for hours as the corrosive salt poisons and burns the baby alive, inside and out. The mother actually goes into labor and delivers a dead or dying baby.”
In America today we, as Christians, wring our hands and shake our heads and agonize over the violence we see on television, on our streets and in our schools. Yet, the violence in these places is NOTHING compared to the violence that goes on day after day in the hundreds of abortion clinics all across America. You and I have not only accepted this violence as a way of life (or death for the baby) but we sit idly by and watch the President of the United States FIGHT to make abortion available to everyone (including children) and to be paid for and supported by the tax dollars WE send to Washington.
Is it any wonder that so many people in our nation consider life to be cheap. Why would we expect that the life of a teacher who is shot and killed in her classroom to be more valuable than that of a helpless baby in the “safety” of his mother’s womb. Why is it a crime for a person to shoot and kill an abortionist as he leaves his abortion clinic and not a crime for that abortionist to kill eight, ten or more helpless babies each day? Was his life MORE VALUABLE than the babies that he killed that day? Now please don’t misunderstand me! I do not advocate killing anyone abortionists included. I simply do not see why we can accept that it IS a crime to kill a person who is an adult and NOT a crime to kill a person just because that person has not had an opportunity to grow in his or her mother’s womb to the point that he or she can be born. If one is a crime, then the other is as well!
The thing that amazes me the most is that this crime of abortion has been legalized in America and WE have just accepted it. America is supposed to be a Christian nation. Now I know we are tolerant of other religious beliefs, and I fully support that. Nonetheless, this nation was founded on Christian principles and we have been proud of that fact for over 200 years. But killing innocent unborn babies by the millions is not a Christian principle and WE should not sit idly by and watch it happen.
Before you start talking to yourself and saying, “Oh I know it happens in America, but it can’t be that bad.”, let me give you some statistics which were provided to me by the Ohio Right To Life Society.
Abortions in the United States
* Over 4,300 abortions performed daily
* Over 1,600,000 abortions performed in 1988
* 6,749 teenagers under 15 had abortions in 1989
* 196,112 teenagers 15-19 had abortions in 1989
* Over 28 million abortions from 1973 to 1991
* From 744,600 in 1973 to 1,600,000 in 1991
It’s not that bad? EXACTLY how many innocent babies do we have to have killed each year before we Christians will say, “Ok, now it’s bad.” How many innocent babies must die before we will start saying to our congressmen, senators and presidents “Look, I don’t care what your politics are, I WILL NOT VOTE FOR YOU if you support legal abortions!” If the Christians in the country would stand united, abortion would become a crime (as it should) in very short order.
The abortion issue is not the only indication that things have gone awry in America. Below are other statistics provided by the Ohio Right To Life Society which show the alarming rise in all sorts of evil.
Percent of increase from 1950 to 1988
* Homicide 243%
* Suicide 100%
* Abortion 800%
* Abortion (under age 20) 760%
* Euthanized Patients 1,200%
* Births out of wedlock 426%
* Rape 230%
* Divorce 212%
* Child Abuse Cases 2,317%
* Robbery 71%
* * SAT Scores -8% (Notice that this is a decline!!)
These statistics should speak for themselves. Our nation which should be “One Nation Under God” is experiencing a steady decline in our Christian values. And now our President is trying hard to get the Congress to agree to fund abortions out of federal tax dollars. If he succeeds, look for these numbers (except SAT Scores) to go even higher. If the Congress of the United States takes that kind of a stand to emphasize that LIFE IS CHEAP, all life (not just the unborn) will also become even MORE CHEAP.
But what does the Bible say about abortion? Actually, the Bible does not say anything about abortion by that name. However, the idea is there in Exodus 21:22-24; “If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no lasting harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. But if any lasting harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.” Brother George Faull says this about this passage; “Scholars have believed that if a man (even by accident) caused an early birth, he was fined. If the child or mother died, he was to die. This is the interpretation of the passage by not only modern Christian commentators such as Clark, Delitzsch, but also modern Jewish scholars, and the ancient Jewish Talmud. The second century Christians also held this position on Ex. 21.”
Brother Faull goes on to say that the following Scriptures show that the fetus is a person and has a spirit before birth:
“Why then have You brought me out of the womb? Oh, that I had perished and no eye had seen me!” (Job 10:18)
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; And I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
“So the woman came and told her husband, saying, ‘A Man of God came to me, and His countenance was like the countenance of the Angel of God, very awesome; but I did not ask Him where He was from, and He did not tell me His name. And he said to me, “Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. Now drink no wine or similar drink, nor eat anything unclean, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.”‘”
(Judges 13:6-7)
“For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy” (Luke 1:44)
Even though the Bible clearly indicates that a person is a person at conception, I think that it is truly a shame that we have to go to the Bible to PROVE that abortion is wrong. What of our Christian principles have we lost that makes us accept abortion? Have we lost our understanding of God’s Word that all human life is precious? Have we lost our love for God and our fellow man? Have we lost our knowledge that God is our Creator and He gave us the ability to procreate according to His will?
The Christians in America are facing a great temptation or test. This test is: Are we going to allow abortion to continue to grow in America and become funded by our tax dollars? Or will be start today to write our congressmen and the President and tell them that we are opposed to abortion and will NOT support them in future elections REGARDLESS of their political affiliation? The choice is with each one of us that claim the name of Christ and love Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” (John 14:15) To me, keeping His commandments is much more than just writing down a list of do’s and don’t’s and making some feeble attempt to follow them. We must take a stand against all kinds of evil. Brothers and sisters, ABORTION IS EVIL!!!

Matthew 24:34-24:35
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Matthew 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Many times people ask, how do we survive these times we live in, but the survival is not really in the times but in eternity of times. What do I mean? Surviving eternity.
Jesus said, John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Today we have terrorist, floods, fires, earthquakes and even volcanoes. The worst thing people do today is watching too much news. Fear has gotten a hold on many, sleepless nights and troubled days, even today, I hear of many hundreds of people waiting in line for hours just to get a flew shot. Now it’s not just the unsaved that are troubled but also the Christian. Putting their mind and faith in the world and its troubles. To survive eternity is to believe in Jesus and Gods Word. We all are going to die aren’t we? Many talk of having Heaven on earth and being rulers on this earth and don’t even know enough about the scriptures to teach it. Sects, cults all are taking their toll on this worlds population. Deceiving many due to the state of this life and the rising influence of the anti-christ.
The anti-christ is not just a man, whom we learn of in Revelations, but he is also a spirit. A spirit that has and will deceive with any means he can to get your immortal soul. Your soul is what we need to understand. The soul of man never dies, not like the spirit that with an animal, goes back to the dust of the earth. The spirit of man goes to judgment and then eternity. Does anyone really believe that they will live as they are forever? I’m afraid to say, yes. There are people today that believe that they will remain the same without change forever. I hope that there is none here today that believe this.
Jesus said in John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” he shall live forever.”
Now even as I talk to many who are not saved, they always tell me that they believe in Jesus. But they are hesitant to make a commitment to Him or to their own salvation. They understand that eternity is real and that hell is real, but there is something that is always getting in the way for them to ask for forgiveness. Surviving eternity is freedom of choice, Heaven or Hell is your choice. You can survive eternity in Peace and Joy or you can spend eternity in flames and burn forever. Believe it or not, there are religions today that preach , that there is no hell, no lake of fire, no judgment on the unrighteous. We speak of eternal duration preceding the present time.
God has existed from eternity. We also speak of endless or everlasting duration in future, and dating from present time or the present state of things. Some men doubt the eternity of future punishment, though they have less difficulty in admitting the eternity of future rewards. This is a hypocritical stand in many who divert people’s minds from judgment and doing the will of God. If there were no punishment in Gods word, then why would anyone accept Jesus as their Savior. There would be no reason for His sacrifice or our repentance.
(ISBE) 1. Contrast with Time. Eternity is best conceived, not in the merely negative form of the non-temporal, or immeasurable time, but positively, as the mode of the timeless self-existence of the Absolute Ground of the universe. The flux of time grows first intelligible to us, only when we take in the thought of God as eternal - exalted above time. Timeless existence - being or entity without change - is what we here mean by eternity, and not mere everlastingness or permanence through time. God, in His internal being, is raised above time; in His eternal absoluteness, He is throned above temporal development, and knows, as the Scriptures say, no changeableness. The conception of eternity, as without beginning or ending, leaves us with but a negation badly in need of filling out with reality. Eternity is not a mere negative idea; to make of eternity merely a blank and irrelevant negation of temporality would not satisfy any proper theory of being; it functions as the positive relation to time of that eternal God, who is King of all the eons.
Revelations 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Revelations 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign forever and ever.
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever.

As the days grow shorter, there are many divisions in the church worldwide. Many are breaking apart from their own denominations, because of a difference in doctrine. Many churches are making up self-doctrine to please their congregations. Where will they spend eternity? Will they be able to survive and what about the people that they deceive. Have they been taught how to survive eternity or are they just as misguided as the rest? I can only Hope that you will make the right decisions and adhere to sound doctrine, so that you will be able to survive eternity. ars
