Though you may feel anxious and oppressed over the condition of our world, a day is coming when Jesus will wash away all of those feelings. I can assure you that all your fears are unfounded because of the promises of God’s mercy. The enemy is stirred and wreaking havoc on everyone, but we are saved, set aside, and loved beyond our comprehension. We have set our eyes upon the Lord and know where our help comes from. We can see His divine intervention in our lives, even when trouble abounds and we feel discouraged. He is our light at the end of the tunnel, and we can run to Him in our distress. He seems to pull us through magically, and we know He removed us from our tribulation and set us high upon his mountain so we can see the calamity left in our wake. What a gracious and wonderful God we have; He sees us not as we are but as His loving children. God is with us, and he rejoices over us with singing. Can you feel it? The following verse is my all-time favorite because it shows God’s passion for us and His love. It brings tears to my eyes every time I read it. There is no end to His love. We are blessed.

The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. Zephaniah 3:17

The great and glorious day of the Lord is near. We are living in a thrilling time, even though it may feel stressful if you let it. To realize that we've been told lie after lie, we can hardly recognize the truth anymore. The truth is what you see and touch physically. You know what God has done for you, but you can also see what God has done for others; you know the truth about their testimony. The intricacies of creation can be seen and touched, showing us that a being beyond our mind's capacity to understand exists. Even those who do not believe in the Bible can know God and his infinite wisdom because they can touch the living things He created and see them with their own eyes. Fortunately, we believe the Bible and know the details of His love for us. To understand the fullness of God's love, the sacrifice of animals didn't give us complete healing from our sins, so God gave us the perfect sacrifice of His son, Jesus, who bled, died, and rose again for the sins of the world. I can't comprehend the reason for a blood sacrifice, but that's over now because of Jesus. Even though the world doesn't know him, we know him and can count on him to take us to dwell with him in eternity. What a great and glorious day that will be!

Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger. Zephaniah 2:3

The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more. Zephaniah 3:15

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21

A day of weeping and sorrow is on the horizon because the unrepentant sinner will face the wrath of God. If you are awake and aware of what’s happening worldwide that’s not being reported in the news and want your mind blown because of the similarities to what is happening today, read Joel. It’s only three chapters, but the prophecy is unfolding before our eyes. One particular verse that struck me is Joel 3:3. 

And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink. Joel 3:3

If you’ve heard about what has been done to undocumented children by perverts and heinous and heartless people, you will understand the implications of what is to come for them. It is they and others like them that will face God’s wrath. It will be a horrible day for them, but it can’t be said that they don’t deserve God’s wrath to come upon them for what they’ve done. Pray that we are raptured and do not have to see even a tiny amount of the filth of the world getting the justice they deserve. It is a fearful thing to come under the mighty hand of God. Do not let a day go by without lifting your voice in repentance to God. Pray for the children of the world and that Jesus would come quickly before any more damage is done to the weakest and most vulnerable of our people, the children.

For something more positive, I give you this verse: The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. Joel 3:16

Today is the day to turn your heart toward Jesus. You’ve known the truth for your entire life but have rejected him and delayed the decision because you want to continue in your debauchery. Aren’t you getting too old for that kind of behavior? Those who stick closely to the Savior feel that time is at hand. He is waiting for you! Time is short; decide now to serve God and bring your friends with you! I know you can feel it coming in the air; we all can. Leave those other gods you serve behind and follow the One True God, the maker of heaven and earth. You’re right when you say you’re not worthy; none of us are, but Jesus chose to save us from our sins anyway. He has done that for me; let him do that for you. 

For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. Malachi 4:1-3

As Christians, we can rejoice in the coming day of the Lord. However, those who have caused us hardship and have gone against God and His people have much to be fearful of. It will be challenging for them. We can see the deepening of the divide between believers and nonbelievers because of the stark contrast between the two. The insanity and belligerent upheaval they cause marks them, and all true believers can see their vexation. Their minds are tricking them into believing the lies they tell themselves, and the truth is not in them. We are living in the approach of that great and glorious day and can approach the throne of grace without fear. We are not perfect, by far, and full of sin; however, our trust in Jesus and his covering over our sins with his precious blood put us in the good graces of the Father. We have so much to be thankful for, but especially our salvation. I wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of unbelievers on that special day. Fear not! The Lord will gather all offensiveness out of his kingdom, and the wheat and the tares will be eternally separated. Things are falling into place for us, and we will see our Savior coming in the clouds triumphantly, and we will live in peace with our brothers and sisters under the rule and reign of King Jesus!

And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. Zechariah 14:9

Jesus is a fountain of forgiveness; all who trust Him will have their sins forgiven and cleansed of all unrighteousness. When Jesus was hung on the cross and was pierced and run through with the sword, the blood that flowed from him cleansed us from all unrighteousness. That’s not all! A process of refining takes place. Those trials and uncomfortable situations are allowed by God to train you to trust Him. If you pass the test, you will come out like fine gold. Submit to Him quickly so the refining won’t take too long. The sooner you leave your troubles in God’s hands the quicker they will be over. 

In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. Zechariah 13:1

Hindsight is 20/20! We can see Jesus clearly in Zechariah 13. He is the fountain in verse 1. It is Jesus’s hands that were pierced by his friends in verse 6. He is the Shepherd in verse 7, who was struck and the sheep, his disciples, scattered. Since then, the enemy has come after those who trust him; we are the little ones in verse 7. However, the enemy will not win because we are under God’s divine protection.

And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God. Zechariah 13:8-9

Bonus: The 666, 66% is the 2/3’s of the people who will cut off. We, the Christians, are the 1/3, 33% who are being refined. The 66.6% plus the 33.3% of the angels displaced from heaven equal 100% of evil will be gone!

God will protect His people, but Jerusalem and Judah will get protection first, and anyone who comes against it will find themselves destroyed. They will realize what they did by crucifying Jesus and will mourn for him as if he were their firstborn son. If the Jewish people studied the law and the prophets, how did they miss this about their Messiah?

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. Zechariah 12:9

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Zechariah 12:10

The cards seem to be stacking up against Jerusalem even as we speak. The enemy must tell us ahead of time what they are doing, so let’s look at the Olympics opening ceremony. This worldwide event was steeped in sacrilegiousness against the holy people of God, with the rider of the white horse opening the seal, releasing the antichrist, and the vault of tribulation. The guy who created this artistic performance appears to be of Jewish descent and somehow knows the details of God’s word. It made fun of the depiction of Passover and Jesus, which includes the Jews and the Christians at the same time! It pointed to the perversion that sent Judah and Jerusalem into captivity in Babylon for seventy years. We see those who didn’t learn their historical lessons and are still delving into abominable practices. Are these people trying to force the hand of God, or is the Bible playing out before our eyes? Look back at the beginning of this post; there is no need to worry; God will protect us or take us into His presence. Stay tuned.
