On The Horizon

 

On The Horizon

     You know we’ve been waiting for Jesus to return for almost 2,000 years.  Seems rather silly that a major world religion would put its faith in its next occurrence.  I looked out my kitchen window this morning around 5:00 a.m.  I saw light coming from a hidden sun.  Being February, its rise was not for another two plus hours.  I was early.  It was not late.

     I did not ask to be born at this time.  My choosing did not put me at 1970.  However, the events that circle my life have defined reality constructing the framework of my reasoning.  So, I look back at what I have known.  The future eludes me and I at best conjecture.

     How will He come… He has told plainly.  In the clouds, with angels, and with a great announcement.  He will come suddenly and at His Father’s will.  We will not expect Him.  That is, there will be no timeline to fulfill.  He is now waiting for the number of saints to enter His kingdom.  This is all about the Church Age and its conclusion.  What He is doing here is miraculous.  His Spirit is currently working in and around men.  Unprecedented.  The enemy is at bay.  Speaking through the mouthpiece of the world, he sways and pits man against man.

     This truly is a wonderful time.  He has stretched out His hands.  How wide we do not know.  And that I believe is best.  Come Lord Jesus, come.  At Your divine time.

Jelly Roll

  Jelly Roll Leviticus 19:28  “ Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the  Lord . ” 1 Corinthians 11:14  “ Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair , it is a shame unto him? ” 1 Samuel 4:18  “ And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years. ” Matthew 7:17-20 especially verse 20 Matthew 7:20  “ Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. ”      Maybe it was America’s Got Talent or The Voice the other night.   Jelly Roll, in all his bigness, commanded the stage and sang a special song.   The camera did not hide it but zoomed in close to reveal his many tattoos.   Markings about his face and arms made him out to be loosed from a recent police lineu...

Two Divine Commands

  Two Divine Commands Philippians 2:14  “ Do all things  without  [ d ] complaining and  disputing, ”      What?!   Is the Bible written only for those who bow the knee to Jesus?   And how will God judge the earth?   Surely books of works will be opened before Him.   Men will be rendered accordingly.   But what of this perfect law penned down?   It goes without saying. James 3:1” My brethren,  let not many of you become teachers,  knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment . ”       God holds all accountable.   The ignorant, the student, and the teacher.   He will evaluate individuals’ lives as they stand up to His righteousness.   Yes, those reborn will He judge with His Son in mind.   Sterling silver not tarnished but nonetheless will be inspected by the Father.   Our works He will try with fire.   Whatever left will be ready for gl...

Infectious Disease

  Infectious Disease      I watch network T.V., the free kind over the airwaves.   It is inundated with self-help medicine commercials.   I think of Sky-ri-zee .   Perhaps this is the concoction for clearer skin.   What wouldn’t an Aaronic priest have given for this special med?   “Got a blemish?   Come closer, son.   Looks like the onset of leprosy.   Go away.   Two pills in the mouth and come back in seven.”   Much of Leviticus would have to be rewritten.   The red heifer sacrifice could be summed up with a cream.   “Touched a dead body?   Rub this on the contact area.   Go away.   Come back tomorrow.”      But what if pills don’t work?   Adam would have O.D.’d on the blue and reds seeking to forget the fall. Thankfully the neighborhood drug store was not on his corner.   He heard vaguely of a savior to come.   God said it was in his genes.   ...
