THANK GOD THIS TRAIN HAS A DESTINY


THANK GOD THIS TRAIN HAS A DESTINY

                Sometimes I almost feel that I must apologize for articles like “THE UNSTOPPABLE TRAIN.”

                But there are times when things going on in the world seem overwhelming and especially so because they are right on track with Bible prophecy and so we kind of know what will happen next. In one week we find chips being implanted even as we lose our freedom of speech                and convulsions of nature make the news and our nation faces a civil war of sorts and Israel is being commandeered by globalist forces.

                It is especially hard to hear bad things about Israel and Jerusalem. In our minds we want to hold Israel as a precious and holy place where our Savior walked and where so many Bible scenes took place. WE would like to think that there is at least a Remnant of Jews that are remaining faithful to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and we don’t want to hear about political Zionists and Cabalists and people who live by the Talmudic traditions rather than the Holy Scriptures.

                So when these things start getting us down, it is time to get back into a biblical view of these events as well as to focus on the God who loves us and who gave His life for us.

                “Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who although HE existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to e grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant and being made in the likeness of men. And being found in the appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, that at the  name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of the Father.” Phil. 2:5-11

                Paul goes on to say in verse 13 that it is God who is at work in us, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.”

                The Lord spoke through Isaiah saying: Turn to Me and be saved all the ends of the earth; for I am God and there is no other. I have sworn by Myself, the word has gone froth from My mouth in righteousness and will not turn back, that to Me every knee4 will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance. They will say of Me, ‘Only in the Lord are righteousness and strength. Men will come to Him and all who were angry at Him shall be put to shame. In the Lord all the offspring of Israel will be justified and will glory.” Isa. 45:22-25 (We need to remember that we too are the offspring of Israel through Yeshua.)

                Paul quotes this statement in Romans 14:11 telling us not to judge one another: “For as it is written, “As I live says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me and every tongue shall give praise to God. So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.”

                There is a day of recompense for all of these globalist leaders. They have sided with Satan and therefore they will share Satan’s fate. Satan offered the kingdoms of this world to Jesus if He would bow down, but Jesus didn’t take the bait. Nothing short of His own blood could provide a salvation for those whom He loved.

                But the globalists have not been nearly as noble as our Lord and Savior, our Master and King of kings. Instead they sold their souls to the devil with a vow to take the kingdoms of this world by force. They bowed to Lucifer for the promises of riches and power, but according to Revelation, these rebel kings will reign upon the earth for one hour. It says in Rev. 18:8: “For this reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord god who judges her is strong.”

                And in verse 10 it says, “Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment has come. And in Rev. 19:20, 21 it says: “And the beast was seized and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the Mark of the Beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. “

                I once had an encounter with a demon that threatened to take my life and I am here to testify that at the name of Jesus, that big and menacing demon that had so recently been leering over me was suddenly blown away with a mighty rushing wind. It looked like a little leaf being blown by a storm and I have never seen anything as totally frightened as was that demon. He could not get away fast enough.

                Jesus is indeed that name above all names and no matter what convulsions this world goes through in the next few years, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of the Father and the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ. Rev. 1`2:10.

                “And I looked and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands saying with a loud voice. “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing;” And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea and all things in them I heard saying, “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory an dominion forever and ever.”

                When one turns 70 certain perspectives change. It is only one more year, but with that turning of the calendar, one steps out of any illusion of being middle aged. In fact in a couple more months I will be 71. I don’t feel any different than I did 20 years ago in fact I feel better and I still have a few of my marbles left. But we start to enter into this funnel of time where we wonder of the Lord will come first or we will die first and we say, “Either way I win!” What do I have to lose? It’s all good from here on out. “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.” I might as well take as many people with me as I can.

                So, yes, we are on an unstoppable train, but at the end of the line is an open door that no one can shut and beyond that … eternity with Jesus and with loved ones and with family and with friends like you. I can hardly wait.
